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

Chapter 86 Five pairs of eyes, the non-existent third floor

The response from the headless Zhong Xie was transmitted to Lin Youlan's mobile phone, and then was transmitted to Jiang Shuran, and fell into the ears of Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu.

"Zhong Xie...son? How did you get mixed up with that group of questionable people?" Mrs. Lu's worried voice came from the other end of the line, "Come downstairs quickly and be with your mother."

"Okay." Wutou Zhongxie agreed to his mother's request, then turned back to search on the first floor, and soon found a passage leading downstairs behind the stairs.

Judging from this half staircase, this passage should lead to the basement, so he went downstairs and walked to the blocked basement door, knocked on the iron door and continued to shout: "Mom, open the door for me, I can't come down."

"Okay, okay, I'm coming." Mrs. Lu's tone was full of helpless pampering. Immediately afterwards, footsteps were heard from the other end of the phone, followed by a noise coming from the door in front of Zhong Xie.

"Click."

The lock cylinder made a sound, and accompanied by the creaking sound of the door opening, the door leading to the basement slowly opened in front of Zhong Xie.

What appeared in front of him was a staircase that continued to go down. Everything there was wrapped in warm light, and just looking at it made him feel a genuine sense of peace.

Standing in front of him was a noble lady in pajamas. She reached out to Zhong Xie and pulled him to her side: "Zhong Xie, come here quickly, come to mom. Let's not stay with those inexplicable people."

Zhong Xie obediently walked down the stairs, and then he noticed that Mrs. Lu kept talking to his empty neck.

He chuckled, lifted up his red dress and hung it on his chest, revealing his face on his belly: "Mom, I'm here!"

Mrs. Lu looked down and seemed to have just seen Zhong Xie hiding in her belly, so she leaned over and held Zhong Xie's face with concern, "Son, your face has become whiter and tenderer. You haven't gone downstairs to play for a long time recently, right? Ask your dad to take you fishing tomorrow. Don't you love fishing the most?"

"Of course, Mom. I like to use you as bait. That way I can catch more fish." Zhong Xie responded casually, his eyes constantly searching the scene in front of him.

Walking down the stairs from the first floor, he found that the scene in front of him was still the first floor, exactly the same as before, with no difference except that the lights were brighter.

After walking down the stairs and looking along the straight road in front of him, he even saw Mr. Lu standing at the gate. The gate was open, and outside the gate seemed to be the ghost messenger who came to investigate the situation.

Looking back, there was no basement door behind me, only stairs leading to the second floor.

Is this a different space?

Or is this the real space?

Zhong Xie ignored his cheap mother and walked straight to the ghost story master at the door. He stood in front of the ghost story master and waved his hand. Then he said to the phone of the ghost story master's contact headquarters: "Is the hammer king here?"

"arrive."

Lin Youlan's voice was heard from the ghost story maker's phone. Although it was unknown how many times the voice had been transferred, Zhong Xie felt a little relieved when he looked at Lin Youlan on the video call on his own phone.

"If nothing happens at your house today, we'll leave first. It might be someone's prank. Don't worry, what happened tonight will be recorded in the Ghost Stories Bureau, and we will track down and hold accountable the person who made the false report." The Ghost Stories Bureau glanced at Zhong Xie, his expression did not change, and he turned around and left the villa.

Zhong Xie wanted to follow and see if he could leave the villa, but he was immediately grabbed from behind by Mr. Lu and was unable to move.

He twisted his body to break free from Mr. Lu's hand, jumped towards the door which had not yet closed, and was then stopped by an invisible air barrier and fell back to where he was.

Well, it's unlikely that I can leave the house with this opportunity.

The ghost story teller just now didn't even raise any questions about the condition of his headless body with blood-stained clothes, which shows that there is nothing wrong with him in the eyes of the ghost story teller.

This is just like the little grandson in the refrigerator. His body was not discovered by Xiaolan and his parents. In their eyes, everything was normal.

Zhong Xie ignored his parents behind him, walked into the living room and turned on the TV, then opened the large and small cabinets in the living room again to confirm whether the two worlds were different in details.

This time, the TV did not have a snowy screen, but played TV programs normally. Zhong Xie sat on the sofa and watched for five minutes, then kept changing channels.

The programs on TV seem normal and not replayed over and over again, so the world right now is real?

If it is an alien space created by a horror story, accidents will often happen after watching such a TV program for a short period of time, because horror stories often cannot make up too much TV content.

It's like you're watching TV in a game, but normal games don't have that much memory left for a TV that not many people will care about.

"Son, why are you acting so weird? It's already late today, you should go upstairs and sleep first." Mrs. Lu stood at the entrance of the living room and said to the busy Zhong Xie.

Zhong Xie took one last look around the living room and opened the refrigerator. He felt relieved when he saw that it was empty. He turned around and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Now he was also beginning to get a little confused, because this place didn't seem like reality either.

There were few things in the cupboard, only some daily necessities, and the refrigerator was empty. It didn't look like anyone lived there at all.

"Did you find anything over there?" Lin Youlan asked on the phone screen, "I feel like something is wrong here. I've had a spooky feeling since you left."

After hearing this, Zhong Xie used his own body to feel it a little bit, and his body also had similar feelings, so he quickly went upstairs to Xiaolan's room.

The layout of the room was the same as the original second floor. Zhong Xie even saw his sister's clothes. This was obviously different from the situation of the only son mentioned by Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu.

When he walked to the model house, Zhong Xie immediately realized something was wrong.

I saw that the appearance of the model house had changed greatly. It was no longer the original home of Princess Barbie, but a model of Xiaolan's house.

Zhong Xie stood on tiptoe and put his belly on the table so that the eyes on his belly could look directly at the new model house. He saw five toy figures, three girls and two boys, standing in Xiaolan's room on the second floor of the model house. One man and three girls were standing around the model house in the model house, observing something, while another man with a snakeskin bag on his back opened the closet door, as if looking for something in it.

This is……

Wutou Zhongxie immediately recalled that this was the scene when the five of them had just entered Xiaolan's room.

So the original house was "reduced"?
The space associated with it has changed since they started observing.

The low dimension is the Barbie Princess House.

Zhongwei is the room where Zhong Xie's real body, Lin Youlan and others are.

Gao Wei is the room where the headless Zhong Xie is currently located.

Zhong Xie pondered silently, trying to find the conditions for the strange story to take effect from his past search memories.

Did the original house collapse into the middle dimension, or did they accidentally break into the middle-dimensional model house from the normal high-dimensional villa?
Wait a minute, now I am observing the toy Zhong Xie, toy Lin Youlan and others in the model house. Is it exactly the same as those five pairs of eyes observing the scene inside the house outside the window at that time?
I only have one pair of eyes, does that mean I have four pairs?

Where did these four pairs of eyes come from? !

Zhong Xie suddenly turned around and looked around, and happened to see Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu who were very close to him.

Both of them had mysterious smiles on their faces, their foreheads tilted forward and their chins retracted. The lights above their heads formed shadows on their faces, making them look extremely terrifying.

Since Zhong Xie's eyes were on his belly and his line of sight was very low, Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu were even lying on the ground staring at his lower back. As soon as he turned around, he saw these two old faces facing him.

Zhong Xie: “!!!”

"Son, Mom has heated up some milk for you, drink it as soon as possible." Mrs. Lu handed the milk to Zhong Xie, then she and Mr. Lu got up from the ground and stood up straight.

Zhong Xie felt ashamed of the terrifying moment just now, so he snatched the milk, jumped up and hit everyone on the head.

After hearing two loud clangs, the strange Zhong Xie knocked Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu to the ground, poured milk on them, and shouted angrily: "Why did you scare your father?"

After doing all this, he rushed out of the room, closed the door, locked Er Lu in the room, and blocked the door with all his strength.

"You...what happened over there?" Inside the phone, Xiaolan realized that something unexpected might have happened to Zhong Xie, and immediately appeared in front of the camera to ask.

“Ah—ha—”

The roars of monsters continued to be heard from the locked room. They banged on the door frantically. Zhong Xie, who was blocking the door, couldn't even hold on. His body staggered forward with every bang, then he turned around quickly and continued to block the door.

"Nothing, just a little conflict with your parents." Zhong Xie smiled gently at the phone screen, and then saw some movement on the small screen of the video call.

The small screen shows what the front camera is capturing, which is Zhong Xie’s own face and the door behind him.

Mrs. Lu's face was seen peeking out from the crack in the door above. It was as thin as paper and even stained with milk. It was dripping down from above Zhong Xie, like a drizzle.

"Zhong Bao, how can you treat your parents like this? We are really angry." Mrs. Lu smiled sinisterly, half of her body had already come out of the room. She supported the door with her hand and pressed hard, and most of her body floated towards Zhong Xie below, as if to completely wrap Zhong Xie up.

"Come again?" Zhong Xie pulled the paper-figured Mrs. Lu over with one hand, stuffed his phone into his chest (the blood-stained shirt had no pockets), and then freed his hands and shouted -

"My own mother is entangled!"

So, Zhong Xie quickly threaded the paper figure of Mrs. Lu and tied it to the door handle.

Mr. Lu inside was still banging on the door. Every bang would pull on Mrs. Lu who was holding the door. Mrs. Lu screamed in pain and begged for mercy: "No! Stop, stop!"

After doing all this, Zhong Xie turned around and ran towards the third floor. Now the Lu couple suddenly stopped acting and started to transform into their true selves, which in turn made his brain brighter.

The clues in my mind quickly connected, eager to find an answer.

At that time, we saw five pairs of eyes outside the window, and there was one pair of eyes in the room just now, and one pair each for the Lu couple, which means there were two more pairs of eyes in the room.

Now I have temporarily trapped these four pairs of eyes in my sister's room, which means that this is probably the time when there is a shortage of manpower for ghost stories.

Take advantage of this opportunity to go to the third floor and take a look.

However, just as Zhong Xie took out his phone from his chest and climbed the stairs, Xiao Lan on the screen suddenly recognized the scene near Zhong Xie and immediately said, "Wait, there is no third floor in our house, where are you?"

Upon hearing this, Headless Zhong Xie couldn't help but slow down his pace. He had also thought of this matter.

He had observed the entire villa when he was standing outside it before. It was a two-story villa with no third floor at all.

There is a third floor...

That is Princess Barbie's house.
