A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 52 Yes, I finally found it.

Zhong Xie and his group quickly left the passage and walked onto the street. They tried their best to avoid being contaminated by the green slime, but they realized it was futile as soon as they set out on the road.

This green slime is almost everywhere on the street. If you see a place without this slime on the road, it is only because the slime there is thinner.

As soon as you step on it, you will feel the stickiness of the soles. You can't find a clean ground to rub the soles clean, so you can only endure this strange feeling. If you take a few more steps, the mucus on the soles will accumulate to the point where it can make a sound, and every time you move forward, you will hear a "crunching" sound.

For a moment, the only sound on the quiet street was the sound of their footsteps.

"Guide, how far is the acquaintance you mentioned?" the special operations team leader asked. Any experienced ghost story teller could feel the oppression of the current situation, and perhaps only by finding a foothold quickly could the psychological tension be relieved.

"I don't know." Zhong Xie shook his head. "I'm not sure if she has come to this Rat Town. Logically, she would have come. After all, she has relatives here."

The familiar mouse he was referring to was naturally Mouse Mother. During the three years, he actually had a good impression of Mouse Mother. She was a respectable mother.

Of course, it’s not so friendly to so-called “humans”.

Zhong Xie understood what the captain was thinking. He also planned to find a safe place to stop and wait, hiding in the dark first to see what was happening with the ghost story envoys behind.

So he walked closer to the round house on the street and used a disposable wet wipe to wipe the almost dried green mucus on the window glass, making the glass transparent again and showing the scene inside the house.

"Wow!" Zhong Xie instinctively shrank his neck, because right in front of him, a rat face was silently printed on the glass.

Inside the house, this rat-like human was standing in front of the window. He just silently observed Zhong Xie and his group walking on the street, without saying anything and without making any movements.

"There's something! There are people in these houses!"

As these people wiped the glass, others in the team imitated him in wiping the glass, and then they saw a human being standing behind each window.

Yes, humans.

At first glance, you would think they were some kind of rat people, but a closer look would reveal that they were still human in nature.

Their bodies were covered with messy hair, their eyes were filled with fluorescent green light, but they were not smart, only dull, and they had protruding serrated teeth.

Everyone had a rat-like face, sharp and pointed, with fur of unknown animals stuck on their cheeks, and long white beards pierced with needles on both sides of their lips.

Although it is a human, its appearance and appearance are very similar to those of a mouse.

Only now did they realize that from the moment they entered this street, everyone's every move was under the surveillance of these ratmen.

However, they did not react at all, they just peeped, just peeped silently.

Zhong Xie thought about it, and waved his tail in front of the rat man behind the window, from left to right and then from right to left. He saw that the rat man's eyes followed his tail, and the pupils of his fluorescent green eyes gradually dilated, as if he saw something extraordinary.

Can this guy see my tail?

The rat people here still have self-awareness, they just look dull.

Afterwards, Zhong Xie, holding a snakeskin bag in one hand, slowly moved the two snakeskin bags closer together, used the bags to cover his figure, and then suddenly separated them.

Suddenly, Kuster's large hamster face jumped out from the gap of the opened snakeskin bag. He half-bent his tall body, pressed his face against the window, bared his teeth, and pretended to be ferocious.

"!!!"

The rat man in the window was startled and frightened by Zhong Xie's sudden "transformation". He couldn't help but take two steps back.

The real Zhong Xie poked his head out from behind Kuster, looked at the rat man who was scared by him, and nodded with satisfaction.

Okay, now we’re clear.

Both the special forces team and Lin Youlan and Shen Junyi were completely immune to Zhong Xie's sudden face-changing trick.

Don't be surprised by anything this guy does. Showing surprise will only make others in the team look down on you.

What's so surprising?
Have you never seen the world?

Then Zhong Xie raised his nine-section tail, knocked on the glass through the window, pointed in the direction of the door with the tip of his tail, and signaled the rat man inside to help him open the door.

The rat man who had just been frightened by Zhong Xie thought for a moment, and finally turned around and walked towards the gate and opened the door for Zhong Xie and others.

The door of the round mouse house opened, and the group didn't ask any questions. They followed Zhong Xie into the mouse house one after another. At this time, it would be safer to hide in the house.

It was not until they all entered the Rat House that the prying green eyes in the other Rat Houses slowly retreated.

"What are you doing in Rat Town?"

The rat man walked into the kitchen, came out with a few glasses of water, then noticed that there were quite a lot of people in Zhong Xie's group, so he went back to the kitchen, brought out a water jar and put it on the ground, indicating that they were welcome to drink as much as they wanted.

"Looking for rats." Zhong Xie took a look at the water in the jar. There was a green floc in it. It didn't look like good water, so he definitely wouldn't drink it.

He continued to ask while looking at the layout of the house: "Have you heard of 'Mouse Mother'? She might have just come to Rat Town in the past two days. She is a fat female mouse, and she may have a few little mice with her. They are orphans and widows."

“I haven’t heard of it.” The rat man shook his head and said in a cold tone, “Rat Town doesn’t welcome rats and people from outside. It’s too late today. You guys should rest here first and go look for the familiar rats you mentioned tomorrow morning. If you can’t find them, leave Rat Town immediately and don’t stay here too long.”

"Okay, thank you for letting us stay here." Zhong Xie thanked Shushu. He had never been so polite to any normal person.

There was no other way. He was a tour guide now, and a qualified tour guide would naturally arrange accommodation for tourists. "It's okay. Don't go out at night. There are two empty rooms downstairs. Share them. Speak softly and don't open the door to strangers."

The Rat Man lit a lamp in the living room, then lit a candle, turned around and prepared to go upstairs to rest.

After the rat people left, several members of the special forces team started their work without the captain's instructions.

The photographer quickly took photos and samples in each room to explore the strange stories in the house. This time Shen Junyi did not wait and also used the saber in his hand to detect the concentration of strange stories.

"There are no traces of strange creatures in the photo, but the concentration of strange power here is very high. There are signs of distortion in several areas of the photo, which means that these areas have been subjected to high-intensity interference."

The photographer showed the small Polaroid photos to everyone and pointed out several distorted areas.

"Well, the concentration of ghost stories in the entire area is very high. My ghost stories cannot even be distinguished specifically. The concentration of ghost stories here is dozens of times higher than that in the previous villa area." Shen Junyi concluded, "If the giant ghost story releases its form here, it may be able to enter the complete state in a very short time."

There are only two bedrooms downstairs, and the distorted areas in the photos are concentrated in the two bedrooms. Zhong Xie looked at these photos and felt something was wrong, so he picked up the photos and walked into the bedroom.

He pulled out a cane from his snakeskin bag, followed the distorted area to find a small hole on the underside of the wardrobe, and poked it in without hesitation.

"what!"

The wardrobe let out a sharp scream, and then Zhong Xie opened the wardrobe and released a half-grown little rat man from it.

The short rat man covered his injured left eye and looked at the people who gathered around him expressionlessly.

He climbed out of the closet without saying a word, pushed through the crowd with his hand, and walked upstairs with confidence.

Zhong Xie started knocking around the room with his cane and caught two more peeping mouse men. They were very short and hid in the cracks in the dark or under the floor tiles, using tiny holes to spy on Zhong Xie and the others.

A total of five rat people were found in the two rooms. No matter what they were asked, they did not respond. After being found, they silently left the first floor and turned around and ran upstairs.

As they were not clear about the specific situation, they did not dare to stop them rudely and did not want to kill people at will.

In the area of ghost stories, violent acts such as killing are often a sign of the situation getting worse.

"Why are they hiding in these places and spying?" Baby-Faced Boy wondered.

However, no one responded to his question.

Everyone was busy, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, as if they wanted to dig up the entire first floor.

He looked at the few people who were completely different from usual, and inexplicably felt a little fear in his heart: "You...what are you looking for?"

"Looking for the rat man, don't you feel it? There is something else secretly watching us."

The team doctor didn't look up, but just answered this. He lifted up the entire bed in the bedroom, revealing the empty space underneath.

"I didn't find it." He opened his confused eyes, then sat cross-legged in front of the bed, supporting his head with his hands, looking distressed, "Why can't I find it?"

Baby-faced man turned around to look for the captain and the guide. The captain opened all the cabinets in the living room, then looked at the empty cabinets and fell into deep thought.

As for the guide, he was knocking on the wall of the house repeatedly with his cane, listening carefully to the sound of bricks and stones, as if he wanted to see if he could find a hollow wall. As long as there was a hollow wall, it meant that someone might be hiding inside.

"Little Wolf, come here." The team doctor called out Baby Face's code name, then he stood up, reached out and pushed Baby Face, gently pressed him to the ground, then pushed him under the bed, and finally rearranged the bed.

"Wait..." The baby-faced man wanted to struggle, but the usually weak team doctor somehow possessed extremely terrifying power, making it impossible for him to resist.

He instinctively wanted to fight back with ghost stories, but there was only chaos in his sea of consciousness and he couldn't call anyone.

It was pitch black under the bed. The baby-faced boy was stiff and unable to move. He could only stare with wide eyes at the outside of the bed and outside the bottom of the bed.

The light from the room could be seen from the outside, it was a long square strip of light.

He saw the team doctor's legs moving back and forth beside the bed, and as he walked, a long, thin black tail fell from between his legs and drooped to the ground.

"Come on, I found the rat man!"

The team doctor spoke to the people outside the room.

Sparse footsteps poured into the room. They asked in a confused manner, "Where is it?" The team doctor knocked on the bed and said, "It's under the bed."

Captain, vice-captain, team doctor, photographer, Black Face, Lin Youlan, Shen Junyi, Zhong Xie.

Eight people bent down at the same time and looked under the bed.

There were smiles on their faces, and the eight heads together blocked out the last light coming from the room.

There was complete darkness under the bed.

"Yeah, I finally found it."

they said.
