DTBS – Chapter 78
Chapter 78: I Like Her
Tao Qiuyun walked into the haunted house. It was pitch black inside. Turning a corner, a faint light appeared. A man dressed as a Taoist priest flicked his whisk, stroked his long white beard (fake), and said, "Fellow Taoist, please stay your steps."
【Help, I'm dying of laughter, Sister Qiu's expression】
【Fellow Taoist, please stay your steps (doge) This line is a bit costly for fellow Taoists】
【Hahahaha, I've played this scenario, I can only say, I want to see how Qiu Yi chooses in the end】
【Came over from Qin Qingshang's live stream, she's already unwilling to go in hahahaha】
【Sister Qin was chased away by two NPCs】
【By chased away, do you mean they suddenly jumped out and scared her? (doge)】
【Hahahahaha, Sister Qiu, your wife ran so fast, she even scared a passing ghost】
【NPC: What just went past?】
The white-bearded Taoist priest spoke to Tao Qiuyun, instructed her on something, gave her a talisman, and then let her leave.
Stepping back into the dark corridor, Tao Qiuyun felt her way along the wall.
She could faintly hear dripping water, but there was no dampness in the air. A haunted house... was this because of insufficient budget for the set, or was it deliberately creating atmosphere to pave the way for the ghosts' appearance?
While making assumptions internally, Tao Qiuyun didn't slow her pace. She was clear-headed and not afraid of mythical creatures like ghosts. So, when a hand suddenly appeared on the uneven wall, she instinctively grabbed it.
As she held it, she felt the skin was smooth and delicate, the fingers slender. It should be a woman's hand.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah————"
The woman's scream was high-pitched and powerful, very close to her, almost piercing her eardrums. For a moment, Tao Qiuyun personally experienced how strong the legendary sound wave attack was, making her head spin.
"Let go, let go, let go ah ah ah ah!" The woman whose hand was held struggled frantically, screaming non-stop. Her other hand flailed wildly in the narrow space, hitting Tao Qiuyun's chest with a punch, making her grunt in pain and loosen her grip.
The woman, now free, immediately turned and ran away.
Her eyes had gradually adjusted to the darkness, but she could only see a blur of something, dressed in who knows what, flashing past and scurrying off to who knows where, making a fuss.
Tao Qiuyun: "..."
She rubbed her chest where she was hit, feeling a bit annoyed. It hurt, so that woman must have been really scared.
Was that a female ghost NPC? But why was she so timid? And the voice sounded quite familiar.
The tone was a bit like Big Cat, but...
She and Qin Qingshang entered through different passages, so they shouldn't have met so quickly, right?
【Hahahahahahaha, Sister Qin, you screamed so loud】
【Dying of laughter, screen recording uploaded to the dimension site, hope the remix area creators give it their all】
【Watching them both on split screen, I saw the whole process】
【Elaborate on the whole process】
【So hot, so hot, Sister Qiu is holding her chest, so did Sister Qin just touch her (chest)?】
【Is it possible that Sister Qiu was hit, not touched?】
【Same thing (doge)】
【It's just that at first Sister Qin didn't dare to go forward alone, then two ghosts jumped out and scared her. Seriously, I think she should participate in the Olympics. The speed she took off at that moment, the NPCs were stunned】
【Then she just ran all the way, with incredibly good luck, running in a straight line accurately and unimpeded in the dark, without tripping or bumping into anything. Finally, she managed to hide in this small passage, panting, and then she was grabbed by Sister Qiu 】
【So she ran for so long, and then delivered herself into Qiu Yi's hands?】
【Shipping them to death, shipping them to death】
The comments section was going wild shipping Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang's fate, but the two of them couldn't care less about that right now. Lesheng Castle's haunted house was famous, and it lived up to its name. Not only were the props and scenes realistic, but the puzzles were also logical and interesting. Tao Qiuyun, who loved brainstorming, quickly became engrossed in solving puzzles and thinking about the plot. As for Qin Qingshang...
She was running the whole time, jumping around. Wherever there was an "Ah ah ah ah ah," her figure was there, rushing past with a whoosh.
Female Ghost: Ah, this! No, sister, you're running the wrong way, that's the exit, this is the plot trigger point!
Male Ghost: (Takes out walkie-talkie) Ah ah ah ah! Come help, is this the legendary brute force clear! She's going to rush to the finish line!
A group of ghosts, in order to give customers the best gaming experience, flocked from "thousands of miles" to stop the cat from rushing to the hidden exit by luck, no, by skill.
"Wuwuwu! Why are they all chasing me!" The cat whimpered while turning around and running.
In her live stream, the comments section was filled with hahahaha:
【Sister Qin, thank you, you taught me a new way to clear the level, I've learned it uselessly】
【Hahahahaha, don't learn randomly, you don't have her luck, you'll be killed by hitting a wall】
【Help! Someone save me from altitude sickness, I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe】
【Finally understand why the director loves to let Sister Qin film tragic scenes, the more tragic she is, the more I love it】
【You're all perverts! Hehehe, but I love watching too】
【Dying of laughter, over at Qiu Yi's side, watching her solve puzzles makes me call myself a dumbass, over here I'm laughing and calling myself a silly goose, I love watching, chase her quickly!】
Tao Qiuyun solved the mechanism puzzle of the box and got the sheep's head mask inside.
The candlelight flickered. Using the faint light, she adjusted the mask to the correct side and felt her way to put it on.
Just as she fastened the strap, she met the gaze of Qin Qingshang, who had suddenly poked her head out from behind a railing.
Cat pokes head out.
Meow! The cat's fur instantly bristled.
She had only run over here because there was light, but the result was...
Her shadow was stretched long by the candlelight. The sheep-headed monster in front of her looked ferocious, its skull half-cracked, blood vessels clearly visible, its long mouth blurred with blood, seemingly still carrying remnants of flesh and blood. The goatee wasn't a goatee, but some animal's intestines dangling from its chin.
"Ah!!!!" Qin Qingshang immediately let go and turned to run.
But Tao Qiuyun's reaction was faster. Having finally met Qin Qingshang, how could she just let her go? She decisively stepped forward, leaned on the railing, jumped down, and grabbed the woman's wrist: "Qing..."
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!" Responding to her was an even more intense scream. The woman in front of her ran forward desperately. Tao Qiuyun didn't want to provoke her, so she could only follow her momentum forward, but the woman in front was clearly terrified, waving her hands wildly trying to shake her off: "Wuwuwu, don't grab me! Let go of me!"
"Qingshang, it's me," Tao Qiuyun finally found a gap in her screaming and forcefully inserted a sentence: "I'm not a ghost, calm down."
"Ah ah ah! Qiu... Qiuqiu?" Qin Qingshang stopped her forward steps, recognizing Tao Qiuyun's voice. Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and her whole body went limp.
It wasn't as dark here as before; instead, there was plenty of light. She saw Tao Qiuyun's eyes. Even though the outer appearance was a terrifying sheep, those eyes were still gentle.
Relieved, Qin Qingshang immediately buried her head in the shoulder of the woman in front of her, seemingly forgetting that she was live streaming. She panted slightly and complained, "You scared me to death, why did you scare me? You're so annoying, from now on when I count sheep to sleep, I'll only think of this face of yours."
Once is strange, twice is familiar. When Tao Qiuyun held her waist again to help her keep balance, her movements were clearly practiced. Her guilty expression was hidden under the bloody sheep mask. She explained, "Sorry, I didn't expect to scare you. It's just that this is a plot mission. I need to dress up as a monster to attend a monster gathering and get some things."
Qin Qingshang's face was pressed against her neck, calming her overstimulated emotions.
Tao Qiuyun's neck felt cool compared to her own cheeks, which were warm from intense exercise, like a cooling patch on her skin, very comfortable.
"Did you have a mission over there too?" Tao Qiuyun continued to ask, "I can help you with your mission if you're scared, how about it? Qingshang?"
The woman's gentle and calm voice soothed her emotions, but...
Cat blushes.
Tao Qiuyun's chest... so soft. Why didn't I notice it when I hugged her before? Also, just hearing her voice, I can let down my guard. Have I... become this defenseless against her?
They hugged each other, chests pressed together, heartbeats accelerating. Qin Qingshang couldn't tell if it was her own heartbeat or Tao Qiuyun's.
But one thing she was sure of was that this wasn't the rapid heartbeat from being scared; it was another emotion, a kind of...
Before she could think further, more monsters gradually appeared around them. In the center of the gathering, only she had a human face, making her stand out particularly.
Qin Qingshang was a little scared. She hugged the woman in front of her tighter and whispered, "Qiuqiu, this isn't that monster gathering, is it?"
"It should be," Tao Qiuyun was silent for a second, "I was originally trying to figure out the way here, but I didn't expect you to run around randomly and actually bring me directly here."
Hearing this, the cat shed tears.
It's my fault! I shouldn't have run around randomly!
The surrounding monsters frequently looked at her and Tao Qiuyun, scaring the cat into pressing herself even closer.
"It's a human. I heard that monsters introduce their loved ones to everyone or share the food they bring. Sheep-headed monster, who is she?" A fish monster wearing a red koi suit spoke, with a clear young boy's voice.
Hearing this, the cat immediately grabbed Tao Qiuyun's collar, shook her, and blurted out, "Quickly say you're my loved one... No, I'm your loved one."
"She is my loved one." Tao Qiuyun's voice was firm, with the posture of a towering mountain.
The monsters looked at each other, shook their heads, and no longer paid attention to them.
【Hahahahaha, dying of laughter, this koi monster】
【Are you a CP fan of Qin Qingshang and Qiu Yi? Saying it so loudly】
【Quickly say thank you Teacher Ming!】
【Thank you Teacher Ming!】
【Ah? What does this have to do with Ming Siwen?】
【Came over from Sister Ming's live stream, this koi monster, it's Sister Ming!】
【Ah ah ah ah, it's my Little Lychee's voice】
【What Lychee?】
【It was a character Sister Ming played before, a young master disguised as a woman. She even specifically learned voice acting for it, forcing her mature woman's voice into a young boy's voice during the performance. The crew members were all amazed, and fans thought it was voice-over at the time hahahaha】
【Ming Siwen's professional ability is truly undeniable, she genuinely loves acting】
【I can see it, with this move, I'll directly call her Director Ming!】
【What did Sister Qin just say? Did she accidentally say the truth? (doge)】
Qin Qingshang didn't know this was Ming Siwen's doing. Seeing that the monsters were no longer paying attention to her, she let out a huge sigh of relief and refocused her gaze on the sheep-headed monster's face in front of her.
Although the sheep-headed monster in front of her still looked ferocious, as long as she knew it was Tao Qiuyun, as long as she met those eyes, she didn't feel the monster in front of her was scary at all. Instead, she felt very safe, and...
Was Tao Qiuyun's sentence just now a hallucination? Why did she feel like it was a genuine statement? Or was it that I wished it was her genuine statement?
Yes, her heart rate unconsciously sped up at that moment, and her heart actually hoped that was Tao Qiuyun's genuine statement. This means...
Help! I actually still fell into this woman's gentle trap!
Damn it!
How could I fall for my contract marriage wife!
This is a breach of contract!
Qin Qingshang, you have no contractual spirit!
Tao Qiuyun probably only said those words for the sake of her daughter, and just to handle the situation. Being so attentive to me might just be because she's thinking about giving her elders an explanation when the romance reality show airs!
But...
She clutched the sleeve of the woman in front of her.
She had to admit, upon hearing that sentence, her heart rate did indeed accelerate...
She liked Tao Qiuyun. She actually fell for this contract wife whom she was supposed to divorce in half a year!
Help!
The words she had spoken to Tao Qiuyun before echoed repeatedly in her ears, like slaps to her face.
[I will divorce, giving you freedom]
The woman's indifferent look flashed in her mind for a moment.
Cat regrets...
Wuwuwu! Tao Qiuyun... I don't want to divorce anymore.
