"Little girl, why are you standing in the rain alone?"
A hoarse male voice came from the side of Shi Si. Looking up, he saw a short-haired man in white standing at the entrance of the dilapidated residential building.
"I was followed all the way here."
Shi Si hates being asked questions, which makes her deceptive skills useless, and she can only forcefully act as a truth teller that arouses strange disgust.
The man in white glanced at Shi Si's trouser legs that were splashed by the rain from running, "Oh, this street is sparsely populated. It's not safe for a little girl like you to walk at night on a rainy day. Come upstairs with me and have a cup of hot tea to avoid the rain. Let’s wait for the rain to lighten up before leaving.”
Safety Rules for Walking Alone on a Rainy Night Three.
[The man in white is very enthusiastic. If you meet him on Rainy Street, he will take the initiative to invite you to his home to take shelter from the rain. You can agree or refuse. 】
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Shi Si nodded in agreement.
Shi Si followed the man in white into the dark and dilapidated corridor. The light bulbs flickered and he couldn't see the surrounding scenes.
Holding on to the dusty wall, Shi Si slowly climbed up to the third floor.
Squeak——
The man in white opened the rusty iron door, "Come in."
The room is not small in size, with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. However, because it is an old house, a lot of the roof and walls have peeled off, and the corners are covered with spider webs.
Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the air in the house was very humid and sticky, and the carpet at the door even leached black and smelly sewage from the man in white's scruffing movements when he entered.
"Cough cough cough!" As soon as he entered the door, Shi Si was choked by the pungent rancid smell and coughed.
"I'm sorry that the house is a little messy." The man in white kicked away the dirty clothes at his feet and made a place for Shi Si to step on. "You go and sit on the sofa for a while."
The man led Shi Si towards the sofa.
The sofa is an old sofa from decades ago, and the surface sofa cover still has a floral pattern similar to curtains.
"Woof woof woof!"
As soon as Shi Si's butt touched the sofa, the black dog in the iron cage in the corner of the living room began to bark with its teeth and claws.
"Beast! Stop barking!"
The man in white kicked the dog cage angrily, and the black dog immediately wilted and nestled timidly in the cage, but his eyes were looking at Shi Si with determination, and his throat kept swallowing hungry saliva.
The sofa feels strange to the touch, cold and slippery. It's obviously not made of leather, but it has a touch that is unique to skin and bones.
The man in white thoughtfully handed over a towel, "Wipe the water off your body."
"Thank you." The moment Shi Si took the towel, the smell of oil penetrated her nose.
There are many dark brown spots on the yellow, dry and hard towels, which are also the source of the foul smell.
Shi Si gave up using it to wipe his body.
The man in white's home is indeed in terrible mess, and it smells worse than a garbage dump.
Shi Si endured his physical discomfort and took the initiative to break the ice: "What do you call me sir?
"My surname is Lin, just call me Brother Lin." The man in white took out a can of moldy tea in a white medicine box from under the coffee table and helped Shi Si make a cup of tea.
The tea was not the fragrance in his memory, but an indescribable stench that made Shi Si not even want to pick it up and pretend to be drunk.
More importantly, a small number of tea leaves have dark brown spots like towels. When hot water is soaked, they immediately smudge out into dark red dots, just like dried blood spots that have been soaked in water.
Safety Rules for Walking Alone on a Rainy Night Three.
[The man in white is very enthusiastic. 】
The rules emphasize that he is enthusiastic, not kind. Although these two words sound like positive and positive words of praise, they have completely different meanings in the rules.
Kindness means that Brother Lin is a good person. When he saw a girl getting wet from a heavy rain, he kindly invited him upstairs to take shelter from the rain.
Enthusiasm can also be understood as a desire for food. For example, on a rainy night, you finally meet a delicious two-legged sheep. Of course, you must warmly invite her to fall into your trap and become food to swallow and chew.
[Rainy Night Butcher], as a novice dungeon with only one-star difficulty, has the transitional function of guiding the trialists to adapt to the dungeon life and better understand the rules and the strange world. It will not set too profound rules, and many answers are written on the surface.
That’s why the rules say [you can agree or refuse]. If you agree, you may be able to get important clues to escape from the dungeon. If you refuse, you can avoid the danger of becoming weird food.
Thinking of this, Shi Si felt relieved, took the hot tea and silently put it on the coffee table.
Whether due to hygienic or health concerns about hot tea, she was not going to drink the tea.
Brother Lin had doubts when he saw Shi Si wiping his body with a towel instead of drinking tea, "Why don't you drink tea?"
"There is blood in the tea. You have killed someone." Shi Si gritted his teeth, trying hard to restrain his inner thoughts but still said everything.
There are some dry dark red spots on both the tea leaves and the towels. These are blood stains that have been dried by oxidation.
The lingering stench in the room was most likely the rotten and stinky pieces of meat that hadn't even had a chance to be processed.
[Rainy Night Butcher] is a single-player dungeon. All the "people" who appear in the story of the entire dungeon, except Shi Si, are all cannibals.
Moreover, the word "butcher" is worthy of consideration. Shi Si can even boldly guess that there are still dismembered corpses that have not been destroyed in the freezer of the refrigerator in the living room.
"What are you kidding? I accidentally cut my hand while cutting fruit two days ago, and I didn't pay attention to the blood dripping into the tea leaves when I was making tea."
Brother Lin never expected that the trialist who entered the dungeon for the first time would speak so directly. He was not afraid that he would go on a rampage and kill people. The corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, "Do you doubt that I will kill..."
"Are you the only one at home?" The power of the magic mirror mantra frightened Shi Si. She was afraid that if she continued to tell the truth like this, sooner or later she would be angered by Wei Wei and be devoured.
So I thought of interrupting the other party's questions to prevent the talent from starting.
"There is also a daughter, but she is not at home." Lin Ge paused, and he looked unhappy when he was interrupted to ask questions.
Shi Si didn't want to be led by others, so he had to take the initiative and continue to ask, "She's not at home, where did she go?"
"God knows, this bitch likes to run around all the time. With the same virtue as her mother, she won't be comfortable if she doesn't stay in a man's bed! A mean dancer will only give birth to a mean daughter!"
Brother Lin spat on the ground. The words "daughter" and "wife" made him very uncomfortable.
"Your wife passed away?" Shi Si seemed to understand why Brother Lin hated his wife and daughter so much.
Abuse can't relieve the anger in a man's heart, "Death, the indiscreet woman should have died long ago!"
"How did you die?"
Shi Si's eyes subconsciously glanced at the book on the corner of Brother Lin's sofa. The title of the book was "Human Anatomy Operation Guide".
"You get stabbed to death by other men for messing around! It has nothing to do with me anyway!" Brother Lin's eyes were darting around, but he refused to look at Shi Si.
