Chapter 227 The mysterious girl with the strange candle

As if to scare Muke, Pei Shiqin deliberately lowered her voice and tried to create a scary atmosphere, but she still underestimated Muke.

Don't mention that this kind of thing was told through other people's mouths and lacked intuitive feelings. Even if Muke experienced it personally, she might not feel scared. Don't ask why, just ask because you are used to it.

"Well, your reaction is really boring. The curator said that the scariest thing is not the noise, but that someone will come to buy the book."

"Can I buy books at the library?"

"Of course ordinary people can't, but who dares to mess with a guest who comes at night? If you stop him from buying books, he can take your life. However, such guests usually leave only ghost coins. And all of them are so stingy.

I'm going to die! I can't even get out more than 2 billion hell coins!"

"Your anger seems a bit strange."

"Ahem, don't worry about this, it's not important. All the ghost coins you accept need to be put in the library employee handbook, and someone will naturally handle it the next day."

"Employee handbook...what does it say?"

After reading the visitor rules of the Dawn Haunted House and the Daytime Haunted House, Muke was very interested in the employee handbook.

"Actually, there is nothing special. There is only one line worth noting - remember not to have physical contact with people with red ropes around their ankles, no matter day or night, otherwise resign and commit suicide."

Muke frowned. Sure enough, this was also stated in the employee code of the downtown library. Moreover, if contact occurs, the Daytime Haunted House and the Dawn Haunted House have response and remedial measures, but the downtown library just said,

Commit suicide. By the way, remember to write a letter of resignation before committing suicide so as not to involve the library.

"However, no matter whether it is day or night, I have never seen anyone with a red rope tied to their ankle. In other words, those who have a red rope tied to their ankle are either perverts with special hobbies or corpses in the morgue."

Muke wanted to ask Pei Shiqin how she had the nerve to say this.

"Oh, and that candle is particularly weird. It's only a short candle and it looks like it will burn out quickly, but it can last for an entire night. No, it doesn't necessarily last for an entire night. After all, I burn out at four o'clock every day.

You got off work on time. Speaking of which, our librarian specifically emphasized to us that we must close the door after four o'clock. For big things, we must leave the library before four forty-four."

Four forty-four? Muke remembers that when he was in dormitory 136, the time limit given by the task was four forty-four. Apart from the fact that there are too many fours, which sounds homophonic to death, what else is special about this time?

?

"Oh, and don't put out the candle when you leave the library! The candle will burn out on its own. But, speaking of which, I can't put it out either."

"What do you mean it can't be extinguished?"

"Ah, sometimes I am bored, so I try to extinguish the candle with my fingers, but it fails. Judging from your expression, you also find it strange, right? Anyone who has gone to school knows that there are three elements of flame burning.

, but this candle seems to be able to continue burning without oxygen."

In fact, Muke's expression was weird. He not only felt that there was something wrong with the candle, but also that there was something wrong with Pei Shiqin. What normal person would pinch the candle with his fingers when he was bored?

"You are so swearing, how could you..."

"You guessed it, the next day I found an instrument that could create a vacuum and put the candle inside. Something strange happened, the candle was still burning. I thought the machine was broken, so on the third day,

I bought a very cute little mouse, put it in the instrument, and then sucked out the air... Hehe, do you know what happens to animals in a vacuum environment? That scene is very cute, let me tell you..."

"I don't want to hear it, keep talking about candles."

"You are so boring. Because of the instrument, I am more interested in candles. I have tried various ways to extinguish the candles, but I can't successfully extinguish them. I can't even make the flame jump. I am a rich man.

I am an imaginative person, so I developed another idea. Since it could not be extinguished directly, I used an ordinary candle to catch the fire to see whether the real problem was the candle or the flame. But the fire was just like the fake one, it could not be extinguished at all.

Light other candles. Alas, I really don’t know how the curator lit them.”

"By the way, is the temperature of the candle hot?"

"It doesn't seem to be particularly hot, it's more like the low-temperature candle I bought. Ah, no, it's not that the candle is not hot, but it's very cold every night... It's like there are a group of ghosts around me, hehe, think about it.

Stimulate."

"Keep talking about candles."

Pei Shiqin was used to not getting any response from Muke, so she continued what she had just said: "Until one day, the candle suddenly went out on its own."

"Didn't you just say that the candle cannot be extinguished?"

"I can't extinguish it, but I didn't say that it can't extinguish it by itself! And what I said before is just to prepare for the extinguishing this time. Don't interrupt, I will continue."

"Okay, okay."

"After the candle went out, I felt a person standing in front of me. She was a girl. She was not tall and looked similar to you in appearance. The weirdest thing was that her voice was exactly the same as yours. Ah, it was also because of this voice that I

She is particularly interested in you, so I invited you to my home, otherwise I would not let her come in during the day."

"Thank you for your love, keep talking about this girl."

"Because of the darkness, I couldn't see her clearly. After she left, the candle automatically lit up, and I saw her back. With just one glance, I was sure it was not you. Because the Lolita she wore was very beautiful.

Yes, your aesthetics are not that good."

"..."

"That was also the first time I received a non-Phantom coin at night, 22 yuan, which happened to be the money for that book. I knew how to handle the coins, but I didn't know how to handle real money. In the end, I simply put the real money in the employee's pocket

handbook, leaving this problem to the person who handles the money the next day. As a result, the next night, when I came to change my shift, I heard from my colleagues that the curator died suddenly after opening the employee handbook. They were in a hurry, waiting for 120 to come.

At that time, they discovered that all the ghost coins were gone, and only one twenty-yuan and two one-yuan real money remained, which were stained with the curator's blood."

Pei Shiqin swallowed subconsciously, but only she knew whether she was scared or excited.

"By the way, there is another very important information. I forgot to mention it. The girl used the employee handbook as a shopping list and signed her name. Her name is also very similar to yours. Her name is Muke, Mu Guiying's

Mu, so cute."

"It's her again?"

"Are you familiar?"

"Enemy."
