Squeak...
The old wooden door slowly opened.
A'Zhu held the candle in one hand and held the door frame with the other, quietly sticking out half of his head to look inside.
Night has fallen now.
The brilliance of the twin moons and candlelight complement each other.
With the extraordinary night vision ability, A'Zhu can clearly see everything in the house.
In the wooden house covered with cobwebs, there are a few dusty pieces of furniture and earthen jars scattered here and there.
Under the dented and broken floor, sporadic and strange sounds could be heard from time to time.
Poof!
Several moths flew out of the cracked floor and rushed towards the fire in A'Zhu's hand.
“I￥%￥%^!!!”
A'Zhu let out an inhuman scream and ran out madly.
A few minutes later, he poked his head into the house again.
This wooden house is located in the middle of the village and is relatively large. It is one of several options he and Cang have discussed.
"My, my god...scared, scared the shit out of me...I am a super, extraordinary person...scared, scared shitless..."
A'Zhu was down to earth and moved forward step by step.
He needed to keep a simple record of how dilapidated the house was.
The three of us only live here for half a month in total, so that's all we can do.
It’s best to find a home that won’t require a lot of effort to fix.
After a general glance around, I felt that this room was not bad. The floor in the interior was slightly damaged. Although half of the windows fell off, they only needed to be re-nailed.
Since this house is relatively large, there is also a single room inside.
A'Zhu mustered up the courage and walked over.
In the dark cabin, the windows were closed.
A'Zhu looked around, only a few large black rectangular wooden boxes were placed.
"What the hell..."
Using one hand to slowly lift up the lid, A'Zhu stretched his neck and squinted his eyes, looking inside through the candlelight.
Two white bones lay there quietly...
"!"
A'Zhu's bloodshot eyes were darting around, trying his best not to faint.
"Ouch Otsu Otsu Otsu!"
He kept his mouth wide and roared.
Immediately, he crashed through the wooden wall of the outhouse and ran out.
…
Cang, squatted down and tapped the floor lightly with his knuckles.
The houses are too old and in disrepair. Many places look fine on the surface, but are actually in decay.
If you live here, you will be in trouble...
He didn't want to play a real-life Minesweeper game for half a month.
Floors and windows have been inspected and are within acceptable limits.
The leakage situation on the roof is not optimistic and it will take about two to three hours of repair work.
Pushing aside the dilapidated water tank in front of her, Cang walked into a single room.
There were five or six large black rectangular wooden boxes placed in the empty hut.
"..."
His brows furrowed, his pale eyes swayed from side to side, and he observed the surroundings vigilantly.
After coming in, he suddenly felt a little tight in his chest, and an unusual feeling of heart palpitations spread throughout his body.
Unlike Xu Fei, Cang had no one to help him unlock his eyebrows.
Therefore, only superficial conscious perception can be used at present.
This kind of conscious perception and consciousness are completely different things.
To give an inappropriate example, if consciousness is compared to a universal clairvoyant eye.
Conventional conscious perception is like holding a bamboo pole and moving around, judging the things you hit only by the touch that is transmitted to the palm of your hand.
Close your eyes, use all your consciousness and perception, and slowly extend into the black box...
Well, it's still just out of reach. Cang's current perception range is only 0.5m.
He took two steps forward silently.
Close your eyes again, use all your consciousness and perception, and slowly extend into the black box...
"Um!?"
His eyes suddenly widened, and a drop of sweat slowly formed on Cang's forehead.
He felt a faint consciousness.
Although it is so faint that it can dissipate at any time like a candle blown by the wind, it is indeed a consciousness.
Thump thump thump, the heart began to beat violently.
Cang was originally not afraid of ghosts because she didn't understand them before.
When he was still an ordinary person, he had seen extraordinary beings and spirits in the Black Sail organization.
We also know that the so-called soul refers to the conscious body.
But he never believed in undead, evil spirits, ghosts or anything like that.
Thinking that those are just artistic creations based on human imagination.
But is this really the case?
Regarding this answer, Xu Fei told him during a recent chat.
'Evil spirit? '
'They are the composite product of the residual consciousness after the conscious body leaves the body and the instinctive consciousness that emerges from the body. '
'Unless extreme emotions occur before death, it is usually harmless. This is what Leiyin said...'
What is the instinctive consciousness emerging from the body?
When a living body is alive, it will more or less encounter some sudden instinctive behaviors.
For example, when I almost tripped over something, my body avoided it even though my eyes didn’t see it.
I was whistling and walking on the road in the evening when I suddenly shrunk my neck to avoid a spider web, obviously without even realizing it.
In the evening, I drank wine and played with skewers in the fly shop in the community. After a long time, I naturally couldn't hold it in anymore.
Looking around and seeing no one around, I decided to deal with it directly under the big tree...
Suddenly, my whole body trembled.
Looking back, I saw the aunt on the second floor opposite was glaring at me.
These behaviors are actually caused by all tissue cells and even bacteria in the body...even Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori...
The collective consciousness that emerges from everything, the active control of the body.
Therefore, in fact, in addition to representing his own conscious body (soul), each person can be understood to have a conscious body itself.
So from the moment he knew the truth, Cang became afraid of ghosts.
And because he heard it half-understood, he was even more frightened.
Click, click, click, click.
The two rows of teeth collided fiercely, trembling continuously.
"ah!!!!!"
Cang's expression twisted and he yelled and ran out.
In the years since I became a killer, I have never been so afraid of death.
…
The twin moons are in the sky, and the sky is filled with stars.
Xu Fei had just witnessed the enthusiastic declaration of a group of thin old men and was now dragging his tired body back to the small warehouse.
"Hey, Brother Fei, are you back? Do you want some water?" A'Zhu greeted enthusiastically.
"Xu Fei, thank you for your hard work." Cang smiled like a spring breeze.
"?"
Xu Fei was stunned for a long time, feeling a little weird.
These two guys looked very happy. Did they find the house they wanted?
"Has the house been chosen?" Xu Fei sat on the ground and asked about the result.
"Brother Fei, let's live here." A'Zhu put away his smile and looked very serious.
"Well, I think so too." Cang said very firmly.
"Ah? Why?" Xu Fei was a little confused.
This hut was Emma's mother-in-law's utility room. If it was suitable for living in, it could barely be used as a sleeping place.
But aren’t there a lot of vacant rooms out there?
