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

Chapter 54 Shushu: Open your eyes and see the world
No matter what Zhong Xie said, the rat man just felt extremely terrified. He had just clearly seen Zhong Xie crawling down the outer wall of the rat house, so how come in just two minutes he was standing with his children?
The rat man, who had seen many strange things, also felt that the rat man from outside the area was extremely strange, with a kind of weirdness that was beyond his understanding.

"Big Rat, bring your brothers and sisters over here, quickly."

The rat man father called on his eldest son to lead his younger brothers and sisters to come to his side quickly and stay away from the strange guy next to him.

Then he saw the tall and strong Zhong Xie leading his five children towards him, like a small train.

Rat Man Dad: “…”

No, I called my eldest son Shuda, did I call you that?
"What exactly do you want to do? I took you in with good intentions, do you want to repay me with evil?" The Rat Man father pulled his child behind him and looked at Zhong Xie nervously.

"Didn't you take me in just for my tail?" Zhong Xie raised his long and slender rat tail and shook it flexibly in front of his rat father.

He just heard a conversation outside. The rat man’s father didn’t say it explicitly, but what could be the most standard and perfect thing about Zhong Xie?

Of course it is this top-quality rat tail. Could it be the Kuster among the tails?
“You…” Rat Man’s father’s face changed. He didn’t expect Zhong Xie to know about this matter, so he shook his head stiffly. “I don’t have this idea anymore. Take whatever you want from this house. Just don’t hurt my family. After tonight, I’ll take a look at the situation tomorrow. If it’s appropriate, I’ll take you away from this town.”

Zhong Xie looked at him like this and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Why does it feel like the rat man dad who appeared on the second floor looks different from the one I saw on the first floor?

He looked the same, but was much more vivid and like a living person than the rat man who had just appeared on the first floor and let them into the house.

The rat people on the first floor were like fake rats running according to a program, and were no different from the rat people on the streets who were constantly screaming "Kill me". But now, the rat people are almost the same as normal animals under the bond of family affection, and there is much less weirdness in them.

"Someone is missing. Tell me everything you know, and also tell me the situation in this town." Seeing that his rat father had finally become much more normal, Zhong Xie began to deal with the missing tourists in the team.

There is no way around it. As a tour guide, this is something I have to go through.

Rat Man Dad looked hesitant, but he finally walked over and closed the curtains and doors, then sat next to his wife and slowly said, "I know where that person went. He must have mistakenly entered the Rat Monster World."

"Rat Monster World?" Zhong Xie muttered this word, and for some reason he felt a sense of pride.

Is there finally a Rat-themed weird story area?

"Yes, I don't know how to describe that place because I have never been there, but it does exist. It is on the other side of Rat Town. It is His dream. All the strange things in this place are caused by the invasion of abnormal forces from the Rat Monster World. It will spread through a special virus. People in the town call it the plague."

The rat father looked at his wife on the bed and said, "No one knows who was the first rat to get the plague. We only know that it was infected by humans. Plague is a chronic disease. Once you get it, you will become more and more like a human. In the end, when you don't even think you are a rat anymore, you will become an alien."

He sighed, "The existence of aliens is very irritating and will disturb His dreams. When He wakes up, the Rat Monster World will become a reality and completely merge with Rat Town. At that time, all the creatures in Rat Town will not be spared."

"So your wife needs my tail. With my tail, her condition will get better, right?" Zhong Xie understood the motive of the Rat Man's father, and continued, "For this, you are willing to bear the risk of outsiders like us entering and living in Rat Town."

Rat Man Father looked at Zhong Xie and nodded in agreement: "If it's just for one night, it won't be a big problem. He will sleep uneasily, but everything will be fine after I send you away tomorrow."

He continued, "Even if I can't keep your tail, I can secretly pick a few tufts of hair and stick them on my wife's face. The condition will eventually get better."

Zhong Xie suddenly realized: "So, you don't have to worry too much. About thirty people came after us. They robbed the house opposite and killed several rats. According to what you said, "He" will wake up soon, right?"

"What?!" Rat Man Dad was horrified. He never thought that such a terrible thing would happen outside just because he was not watching on the first floor for half an hour. Now he knew why the rats on the street were screaming.

He hurriedly wandered around the house, put on his shoes and wanted to pack up and run away, but when he looked at his wife on the bed, he finally threw the suitcase to the ground and held his head in pain: "It's over, it's all over, how could there be such stupid outsiders, what are you doing in Rat Town? It's all over now."

-

"You mean, as long as we create humans here, Little Wolf (Baby Face) can come back?"

The captain hesitantly repeated Zhong Xie's words, finding it a little unbelievable.

"That's right." Zhong Xie answered affirmatively. He had just gone up there and easily brought back the most crucial information.

Although he extracted this information, it is correct judging by the results.

The creation of humans can wake up the so-called "Him". When "Him" wakes up, the Rat Monster World will descend on Rat Town. Then, won't the baby-faced man trapped in the Rat Monster World come back?
So having a baby can bring back the baby face, and there is nothing wrong with that.

When the tourists in the group gather again, he can also lead them to visit new attractions, which are places that most of the rats have never been to back then.

At this point, his fear of Rat Town actually decreased, because it didn't sound too scary.

The plague is transmitted from humans to rats. He is not a rat now and cannot be infected by it, so what does it have to do with him?
"Apart from this method, is there no other solution?" The captain would naturally not let such an outrageous thing happen under his nose, so he continued to ask.

So Zhong Xie thought about it and pointed to the rat house opposite: "We can wait for them to create humans. I think it will be soon."

"Are the weird stories in this rat town actually related to 'fertility'?" The special forces captain fell into deep thought, "This is a tricky weird story that I have never experienced before." "Fertility? Could it be related to the black goat mother goddess in the K-series mythology? The root weird story of this city is called the black goat, so I'm afraid there is a connection." Shen Junyi has read quite a few books, and quite a few of them are related to this kind of weird story.

Zhong Xie felt that their discussion seemed to have gone off topic, but since they were discussing Miss Black Goat, he did not interrupt.

He left two packets of rat poison upstairs to cure Mrs. Rat of the plague.

Zhong Xie spent a long time searching for this thing in Haicheng.

The actual names of general rat poisons are "rat bait" and "rat killer". A normal person can tell from the names that they are ineffective in treating diseases in rats.

We must find the kind of low-quality rat poison that is not produced by any manufacturer. Only when the three words "rat poison" are clearly printed on the packaging bag can it work under the rules of Wangcheng.

The packets of stuff he brought were so pure that they didn't even have an ingredient list, and they absolutely melted in your mouth.

However, Zhong Xie was not sure whether this medicine was effective against the plague.

It's very simple. If you think you are a human, then the medicine is poisonous; if you think you are a mouse, then the medicine can save your life.

However, the symptom of the plague is that rats will gradually regard themselves as humans. So at this time, can Mrs. Rat cure the plague by taking rat poison?

As we all know, people will die if they eat rat poison, but rats can survive if they eat rat poison.

I guess the answer to this question can only be determined after Mrs. Rat finishes eating the rat poison.

Therefore, Zhong Xie gave the choice to the couple upstairs, and also left a pure "rat bait".

As the name suggests, the effect of this thing should be similar to that of aphrodisiac, which can add color to Shu Shu's nightlife.

In addition, Zhong Xie also got another key clue from the rat man’s father.

When you think you are encountering something strange, "switch" it and you will definitely find the answer.

This so-called "conversion" is a very broad concept and requires specific analysis of specific cases.

For example, change direction, change angle, or change the medium. In short, you must make a "transformation" and you will face the essence of things.

"Transformation? Is this why I was able to take the photo of the baby face?" The photographer from the special forces team handed the photo under the bed to Zhong Xie, "I took the photo of him under the bed, but now he is no longer under the bed. I don't know where he went."

After "switching" from viewing with his eyes to viewing with the lens, he did notice some changes in the Mouse House under the lens.

For example, there is actually nothing outside the mouse house.

There were no rats barking wildly in front of their doors on both sides of the street, nor were there the two houses with closed doors across the street. There was only endless emptiness.

It was as if theirs was the only mouse house in the entire universe, and it was the only safe place to live.

Moreover, there are no other people in the camera. Even if other members of the special forces are standing in front of him, they will not appear in the camera.

However, when the photographer told Zhong Xie about this, Zhong Xie just shook his head, thinking it was not credible.

If the truth were that simple, it would be too boring.

So Zhong Xie thought about it, took off the team doctor's glasses and put them on the photographer's eyes, and continued: "It means you are obsessed. You are trapped in the inherent thinking of 'looking at the world through the lens'. Change it and look again with glasses."

After putting on the glasses, the scene in front of the photographer's eyes changed. He found that the scene around him was not a rat house, but a hexagonal nest.

The hexagonal nest has neat specifications, and every angle is a standard 120 degrees when you look at it.

This is a neat and clean hexagonal room. Clean clothes are hung in the closet, including men's and women's clothes, but no underwear.

He heard a "wuwuwu" sound coming from the door, so he instinctively went forward, turned the doorknob and looked outside.

A small train made up of mice connected head to tail is moving in the hexagonal nest, moving forward step by step, rushing against the wall of the hexagonal nest, unobstructed by anything.

The photographer realized something was wrong and quickly took off his glasses, but the hexagonal nest was still in front of him and the rat train was still moving forward.

"Hey, Mickey, come join us and drive a train together!" A little mouse man waved at him in the train queue.

So the photographer smiled and waved as he ran over: "Take me one!"

　I was delayed by something in the afternoon, so I'm even later. Sorry.
