"Haunted?" Baomu was suddenly frightened and woke up.
"Um."
Qin Yin said and told the story about the bathroom a second time.
"Although," after hearing this, the fool tapped his chin and said, "That ghost doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."
"That's because you're not the person involved. The person involved was frightened, right? Xiaolan...Xiaolan? What are you doing?"
Xiaolan was holding a strand of her hair and observing intently. When she heard Qin Yin's voice, she quickly raised her head.
"ah?"
"What are you doing? Is there something in your hair?"
"No..." Xiaolan looked at Fool hesitantly, "Brother Fool, has my hairstyle changed?"
After all, I am a girl, so it’s hard not to care!
"Oh, don't worry, nothing has changed. Your idiot brother can't see anything. He is a fool." Qin Yin started to reach out and let people go out. "Stop being so annoying, go to our room first."
Everyone walked out and met the Taoist priest who had finished washing in the corridor. The Taoist priest had returned to normal. After a few greetings, he quickly caught up with the current progress.
The fool sneaked up to Xiaolan and asked quietly, "You really haven't changed your hairstyle?"
"Did my hairstyle really change?"
"It's a little long," the fool nodded, "but don't worry, it looks good."
"Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"What are you two talking about in the back? Come to the front!"
As soon as Qin Yin's voice rang, Xiaolan and Fool immediately separated as if nothing happened, and trotted to the door.
Drop! squeak——
The door opened.
Xiaolan didn't expect that they would welcome so many people into her room. At this time, she was regretting that she should have tidied her things.
The curtains were drawn tightly, so the light in the room was not good. The heat in the bathroom had not dissipated yet. The moment the door was opened, there was a rush of heat.
There was silence.
Qin Yin opened the door and walked in first.
She used her feet to pull open the dirty backpack on the ground, turned around and said, "Come in."
She reached out and opened half of the curtains, letting in the afternoon sunlight.
Wen Ling was still lying motionless on the middle bed.
The Taoist Master was already fully awake. He first walked over and tested Wenling's pulse, then raised his head and asked, "Is Wenling always like this?"
Qin Yin nodded helplessly.
"Don't worry," the Taoist priest continued, "It's probably not time yet, let her sleep."
"Xiaolan, are you talking about this bathroom?" the fool asked, pointing to the bathroom door.
"Yeah," Xiaolan pointed in the direction of the bathtub, "I was there at the time."
"It's easy, Baomu," the fool stretched out his hand to push Baomu forward, "go smell it and see what the hell it is."
Baomu walked into the girls' bathroom a little embarrassed. There were still a few wet water marks on the tiles on the floor, and the fog on the mirror seemed to have just dissipated.
Others stood around the door, watching Baomu's doings with rapt attention.
Baomu sniffed left and right, tilted his head, "There's nothing."
"No Lingxi?" Qin Yin asked.
"No……"
"What about other strange smells? There are none?"
Baomu started the mission for the second time, frowned and shook his head for the second time, "There is no... Does the smell of shaving cream left by the previous guests count?"
Boy, the scent of this shaving cream lasts long enough.
"You can smell it here," Baomu pointed to the edge of the sink, "it must have been spilled by the previous guest."
With Baomu's nose, it would be a pity not to be a police dog.
"Then it seems like it's not haunted?" Qin Yin was even a little disappointed, "What's the reason?"
Everyone exited the bathroom and returned to the living room.
"Xiaoyin, please point to the place where the red spot appeared on Xiaolan's body." The Taoist priest said.
Qin Yin made two gestures on Xiaolan's right shoulder and quickly confirmed a location, "This is it."
"Almost..." Xiaolan agreed, "Dark red, about this size, and this shape..."
Xiaolan sketched it in mid-air with difficulty.
The Taoist priest nodded thoughtfully.
"Taoist Priest, do you know what's going on?"
The Taoist priest did not answer Qin Yin's question directly, but said directly, "You heard her voice that was not made by Xiaolan herself, but Xiaolan did not hear anything outside the shower curtain."
"I heard footsteps."
"Yes, except for the footsteps..."
The Taoist priest raised his chin and began to think.
Everyone waited quietly.
After a while, the Taoist Master said slowly, "If something really manipulated it, then this thing can temporarily arrange two people into different spaces..."
Xiaolan seemed to have thought of something.
"...In addition, it can also mask its own smell."
After speaking, the Taoist priest raised his eyes and looked at everyone.
These two hypotheses point to the same conclusion.
"But... this is impossible," Qin Yin said, "Wasn't the Fire Lotus... completely destroyed?"
Xiaolan's face turned a little pale.
That's right, it can both isolate space and cover up smells. Isn't that the enemy they just defeated - Fire Lotus?
"And Fire Lotus's space ability should be limited to the mountains, after all, that is its territory." Luo Jiutian said.
"No," the Taoist Master stood up, "Have you forgotten the Eight Immortals Village? The space trick in the Eight Immortals Village was created by Huolian."
Can't refute.
Everyone's eyes returned to Xiaolan.
Xiaolan stared at the ground blankly.
Huolian is not dead?
To be precise, for it, there should be no concept of life and death at all, but no matter what, I saw the stone lotus shattered and sank with my own eyes, and the fire lotus and the power it possessed should have disappeared...
"Xiaolan, how do you feel now?" Baomu asked softly.
Xiaolan frowned, shook her head and said, "I don't think there is anything else in my body."
In other words, whatever possessed me, it's gone now.
"It's weird, it's weird," Luo Jiutian tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "Is it some new species that we haven't seen before?"
"Is that so? Isn't Xiaolan in any danger?" Qin Yin asked hurriedly.
"It's said to be a new breed, how do I know if it can hurt people?" Luo Jiutian put his hand in his pocket and took out his cell phone, "I'd better ask my dad, he is well-informed."
"Your cell phone actually still works?"
"Our mobile phones haven't been soaked in water, so of course they can be used...shhhhhhh-I'm on the phone."
While he was talking, Luo Jiutian's call had already been dialed, and everyone stood around quietly, listening to a series of "beeps" coming from their phones.
Du-du-du--
Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unable to answer...
"What's going on? Why doesn't my dad answer my call? Is Jasmine so busy over there?"
