Actually, Jiang Che isn't usually like this.

He's quite a decent guy.

Maybe it's because of being with Zhuge Ye, which led to some inexplicable metaphysical reaction.

Yes, it's all Zhuge Ye's fault.

...

At the bottom of the well, the water was slightly cool.

Two figures, four eyes met.

"What do you want?"

"To bring warmth."

"I don't need it."

"No, you need it."

"I don't need it!"

"I won't leave you alone."

"…"

Looking at the disheveled female ghost in front of him, her skin swollen and rotting from being soaked, Jiang Che felt a sense of pity.

He gently removed the water plants from her hair, along with large chunks of...

Dandruff.

Jiang Che said, "To be honest, I am a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, on a journey to the West..."

"Who locked you in this dark and damp place, emo all by yourself?"

"Tell me, and I will seek justice for you."

Female Water Ghost: "…"

Jiang Che flashed a bright, sunny smile and gently caressed the wrinkled cheek of the female ghost.

The decayed skin fell off at a touch...

But.

That didn't matter.

"Go ahead, speak freely."

A gust of eerie wind began to rise from the bottom of the well.

The well water grew colder and colder.

Black hair swam in the water, like venomous snakes coiling around Jiang Che.

The female ghost's eyes, bleached white from soaking, flashed with malice.

Suddenly!

"Splash!"

A pair of hands without fingernails emerged from the water, grabbing Jiang Che's shoulders!

Immediately, hair attacked from all directions, entangling Jiang Che in an instant!

"Haha, hahaha!"

The female ghost's sinister laughter echoed.

"You actually dared to jump in, you actually dared to jump in!"

"To hell with your emo!"

"Feel the pain!"

"Consider the pain!"

"Accept the pain!"

"Die!!!"

The hair wrapped around Jiang Che tightened more and more.

As Jiang Che had guessed, in this well, the uncanny power was amplified.

Just like the instructor in the dormitory back then.

But...

In the face of a cheat, all beings are equal.

Jiang Che: "Xiaoman!"

Xiaoman: "Hmm..."

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Just as the hair was about to cut into Jiang Che's flesh.

Suddenly, Jiang Che's skin turned pale.

And it was precisely this baby-like delicate skin that prevented the hair from advancing any further!

"Haha... hahahaha hic."

"Hmm?"

The female ghost looked at Jiang Che in disbelief, exclaiming, "How, how is this possible?!"

"How could this be?"

"This skin... are you a woman?!"

"No, that's not right!"

The female ghost suddenly snapped back to reality.

She had clearly tightened the grip.

The man in front of her now looked like he was wearing a black bodysuit.

His body contours were vividly outlined by the tightness.

Even the thirty-centimeter hidden weapon in his pocket was outlined.

Why couldn't she tighten it any further?

"Hmm?"

The female ghost opened her swollen sausage-like lips, dazed again.

At that moment.

Jiang Che's body shook!

"Boom!!!"

The hair wrapped around him was instantly shattered!

"When a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm Hello Kitty?"

Jiang Che threw a punch.

Pinning the female ghost against the well wall.

And this scene was just witnessed by Zhuge Ye, who was peeking at the well's edge.

"(๑°⌓°๑)"

"I was overthinking."

"Brother Che doesn't need my assistance at all..."

Leaning beside the well, Zhuge Ye stared blankly.

AP and AD, damage and support, warrior and mage, which is more important?

While Zhuge Ye was lost in thought.

Some strange noises came from the bottom of the well.

"Hey, hey, take it easy!"

"Don't worry."

"Don't go too deep..."

"Got it."

Zhuge Ye: "Holy crap..."

"Ugh, ugh~ bleh~"

"Bleh! I told you not to go too deep!"

"And it's so thick, my throat can't take it."

"Got it, got it, one more time."

Zhuge Ye: "Holy crap, holy crap..."

...

At the bottom of the well, Jiang Che reached his right hand into the female ghost's mouth.

After some indescribable groping, he finally pulled out a key from her body...

The female ghost retched: "Ugh, ugh..."

Jiang Che frowned, washing his hand, then said, "If there's a chance, I'll definitely come back to save you."

"Thank, ugh... thank you..." The female ghost, as if drained, weakly said.

Pocketing the key, Jiang Che began to climb out.

Unfortunately.

The uncanny presence at the bottom of the well couldn't remember past events.

Only knowing that she had swallowed a key.

Originally, Jiang Che could have used a more violent method to retrieve it.

But considering he might need to come back for her later, and since she was cooperative.

Thus, that scene just happened.

What a pity.

...

Climbing out of the well.

Zhuge Ye looked at Jiang Che with admiration, "All done?"

Jiang Che: "All done."

Zhuge Ye: "Only a minute?"

Jiang Che: "Isn't it better to solve it quickly?"

Zhuge Ye: "Hmm? Hmm, good, very good, you're quite proud of it."

Jiang Che: "..." Is there something wrong with this guy?

Just then, a long, piercing alarm sounded.

Like the kind during drills.

"Woo—woo—"

At the same time, a mission prompt sounded in their ears.

"Friendly reminder: Darkness is coming, no one can survive in the dark, please enter a house within three minutes!"

Jiang Che: "Let's go!"

Without looking back, Jiang Che ran towards the village.

Zhuge Ye quickly followed.

At this moment, Jiang Zihao and his group appeared at the village entrance.

When they saw Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye, surprise flashed in their eyes.

But there was no time for idle chatter.

Everyone rushed into the village, trying to find a house to hide from the darkness.

However...

Every household in the village had their doors and windows tightly shut at this time.

Even more despairing, every door and window was made of iron...

Impossible to break open, damn it!

"Woo—"

The sky gradually darkened.

Gusts of eerie wind began to sweep through the village.

If they didn't enter a house before darkness fell, something terrifying was bound to happen!

At this moment, panic set in among the crowd.

Many people's true colors were revealed.

"Damn it! Jiang Zihao, can't you do anything right?!"

"Motherfucker, this is bullshit!"

"These houses are impossible to enter, are you leading us to our deaths?"

"This is insane, what a useless piece of trash!"

Jiang Zihao's face was grim, but he didn't argue with them.

At this moment, Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye scampered towards a distant house.

When Jiang Che obtained the key, he also received information about it.

Quickly, the two arrived in front of a house.

Another heavy iron door.

Jiang Che took out the key to unlock it.

Zhuge Ye: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Creak!" The door opened.

Zhuge Ye rushed in immediately.

Just as Jiang Che was about to pull out the key and enter.

Zhuge Ye suddenly showed a terrified expression.

Then.

"Bang!"

Zhuge Ye slammed the door shut...

Jiang Che: "..."

"What the hell?!"

"Where's my knife, where's my knife?!"

Just then, Zhuge Ye opened the door again and pulled Jiang Che inside!

Zhuge Ye, still shaken, said, "Sorry, Brother Che, I got scared."

"Just now, there was someone standing behind you..."

Jiang Che: "That's your reason for locking me out?"

Zhuge Ye, a bit embarrassed, said, "Sorry, really, sorry... First time teaming up, instinct, instinct..."

Jiang Che: "..."

"Click, click." The door lock made strange noises, as if someone was trying to pick it.

Zhuge Ye quickly locked the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A familiar voice came from outside.

"Zhuge Ye!"

"Did you lock the door?! Are you trying to get us killed?!"

Zhuge Ye slapped his forehead: "Crap! I locked Brother Che outside!"

"Hmm?"

Wait!

The one outside is Brother Che?

Then who is inside...?
