Chapter 150 – 1992-2020

As soon as Little Apple finished speaking, her face suddenly changed.

Three ghost claws came out of her chest abruptly!

Lian Qiao and RenDong were shocked. Lian Qiao immediately took out the crowbar but as soon as the crowbar got close to Little Apple, the three ghost claws twisted wildly as if frightened, which messed up Little Apple’s chest cavity. Little Apple screamed in pain and Lian Qiao was so frightened that he didn’t dare to move any more, so he quickly put away the crowbar.

This change happened in the blink of an eye. The two of them had no time to react and Little Apple had already fallen to the ground, motionless.

The ghost claw didn’t seem to realize that the host was dead and the bright red claws were still writhing wildly. At this moment, Lian Qiao finally didn’t have to worry about it and picked up the crowbar and smashed the ghost’s hand. The ghost hand was hit hard and it quickly rotted like a withered plant. There were only three big holes left in Little Apple’s chest and blood was still bubbling out.

Little Apple still had her eyes open, with a somewhat puzzled look on her pale face. The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, not knowing what she was laughing at.

She was dead.

Lian Qiao and Little RenDong looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other’s eyes.

It was a curse left by a vicious little female ghost who likes to hide in the toilet to scare people. In fact, that female ghost was not difficult to beat, Lian Qiao beat her ghost head off in minutes. But Little Apple’s brain was weird for some reason and she insisted on going up to “add a knife”.

It was nothing at first but when she went to stab the ghost, all the venomous curses of the little ghost were concentrated on her. The next day, a scarlet hand print appeared on her back.

The little female ghost declared that after three days she would surely die. For the past three days, Lian Qiao and RenDong tried every means to try to lift the curse. But no matter chanting scriptures or dancing to the gods, the number of ghost claw prints still increased day by day. Little Apple suffered so much that she didn’t sleep for three whole days and was tortured unspeakably.

At this time the curse was finally fulfilled. Lian Qiao and RenDong felt sad, but couldn’t help thinking: She was finally freed.

Little Apple’s death did not cause much trouble because her body disappeared quickly. Lian Qiao quickly left the scene with Little RenDong but encountered difficulties for the subsequent itinerary.

Where should they go next? What to do?

Logically speaking, the seven-year-old Little RenDong should be studying at this time. But RenDong skipped class all morning so it was pointless to go for half a day in the afternoon. What’s more, the whole team was dead and only the two of them were left. Lian Qiao was worried about RenDong going to school alone.

The two had no choice but to explore the entire area along the street. The abandoned building can be skipped but there are still many places worth exploring. Time passed by and it was evening in the blink of an eye.

The two settled their dinner at the snack bar and then went to the small hotel to ask for a room.

In 1999, no ID card was required for accommodation, and the price was cheap. They didn’t have much money on them and all they had was given by the dean of the orphanage the day before they entered school. They had to conserve their money.

The two only wanted the smallest room. As night fell, one big and one small lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide-open eyes. The condition of this hotel was very poor, there was not even a black and white TV set. The small wooden bed was not strong and creaked when one turned over. The only good thing is that it’s fairly clean.

Little Apple was gone and they felt somewhat lonely in their hearts. It’s not because the whole team is dead and only the two of them are left, but because Little Apple was indeed a lovely girl. What’s more, her way of death can be regarded as blocking the knife for Lian Qiao.

When RenDong was a baby, he had been eating vinegar all this time. Now that he couldn’t eat apple cider vinegar anymore, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

The two lay on the bed for a while, really bored. Lian Qiao got up and got out of bed.

RenDong: “Where are you going?”

Lian Qiao: “Going to the toilet.”

Little RenDong said “Oh” and continued to stare at the ceiling.

Not long after, Lian Qiao yelled in the toilet: “RenDong! No paper!”

Little RenDong jumped off the bed, rummaged through the box and found a roll of toilet paper. He walked outside the toilet and knocked on the door. Lian Qiao opened the door a crack and reached out to pick up the paper.

After a while, Lian Qiao came out and complained: “There is no bath in this bathroom, so we will just have to clean ourselves simply.”

Today was autumn so tomorrow will be winter. A small hotel in 1999 could not afford the luxury of an air conditioner so RenDong said, “It’s cold anyway, so just wipe yourself off, so you don’t catch a cold.”

“Yes.” Lian Qiao climbed onto the bed and hugged Xiao RenDong.

Anyway, there was nothing to do, so the two went to bed early. Little RenDong fell asleep for a while and suddenly felt a gurgling stomach, a little uncomfortable. He gently pushed Lian Qiao away and jumped out of bed.

Lian Qiao didn’t wake up. RenDong carefully padded inside and slowly closed the toilet door.

He looked around and found that the toilet was indeed as Lian Qiao said, quite simple. There are no facilities other than a flush toilet and a sink.

RenDong found a basin and climbed up to the toilet. The toilet seat was cold, which made his little butt shrink back and he sat down again with a “hiss”.

Soon, RenDong solved his problem. Probably because the Xiaolongbao at night was so delicious, he couldn’t help eating too much, his stomach couldn’t bear it, so he had some diarrhea. Little RenDong pinched his nose with a little disgust and turned to the toilet paper basket beside him. The outstretched little hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Hey, where’s the toilet paper?

… Was Lian Qiao so wasteful, when he was just given a whole new roll of toilet paper and he used it all up?

RenDong frowned and then subconsciously glanced into the trash can. At this glance, his heart skipped a beat.

There was no large pile of waste paper in the trash can as he had imagined.

And this scene was a bit familiar…

A “hee hee” laugh suddenly sounded from the corner of the toilet. RenDong’s hair stood on end and he slowly turned back. Sure enough, he saw a girl squatting on the ground in the corner.

Little. Apple.

……Yes. Whoever is killed by a ghost will become that kind of ghost.

Little Apple was cursed to death by the vicious little ghost who stole toilet paper, so after she died, she also became a vicious big ghost who loves to steal toilet paper.

With a twitch of veins on Little RenDong’s forehead, he opened her mouth and shouted: “Lian—— Qiao——” 

Lian Qiao, who was outside the door, woke up instantly and rushed towards the toilet: “What’s wrong?”

Little RenDong calmly said: “Little Apple’s corpse has turned.”

Lian Qiao: “Huh?!!!”

Shocked for less than a second, Lian Qiao quickly understood, and said in embarrassment: “She, she came to steal your toilet paper?”

Little RenDong: “Yes.”

Lian Qiao: “…Then I’ll get you another roll.”

Little RenDong’s forehead was bursting with veins and he said angrily, “Shouldn’t you come in and save me?!”

Lian Qiao had already turned around to look for the paper, but when he heard this sentence, he suddenly realized, and coughed in embarrassment: “Ahem, yes, I forgot.”

It was Little Apple who turned into a ghost this time. Just a little while ago she had blocked a knife for them, so Lian Qiao subconsciously felt that Little Apple would not hurt RenDong. But RenDong was right. After becoming a ghost, she was no longer that person. Little Apple was already dead and the one squatting in the corner with a smirk is…

Ghost Apple.

Lian Qiao quickly adjusted his mentality, picked up the crowbar and kicked open the door, rushing in aggressively.

“Where is it?!”

Little RenDong raised his hand and pointed. As soon as Lian Qiao turned his head, Ghost Apple screamed as if she had been blinded by something and escaped into the wall.

Lian Qiao looked down at the crowbar, and sighed: “If I had known it would be so powerful after the consecration, I should have brought all eighteen weapons into the temple and consecrated them all.”

Little RenDong: “You…” He opened his mouth. He seemed to want to ask something, but couldn’t say it.

Lian Qiao: “Do you want to ask me how this crowbar was blessed?” He smiled wryly and stretched out his hand to rub Little RenDong’s head, “It was when you were lying in the ICU, I went to the temple for you…”

“No.” Little RenDong slapped his hand away and said helplessly, “I want to ask you when you will bring me the paper. My bare buttocks are so cold.”

Lian Qiao: “…” He couldn’t help but look down. After taking a look, he instantly realized that RenDong is only seven years old now, so he can’t look! So he immediately covered his eyes, touched the wall and backed out, “Wait, I’ll come again right away!”

Lian Qiao had just handed the toilet paper to RenDong, when suddenly three knocks came from behind him.

Who?!

Lian Qiao became vigilant in an instant and walked to the door with a crowbar. Little RenDong hurriedly put on his pants and ran out, being protected by Lian Qiao.

Lian Qiao asked: “Excuse me, who is it?” A young and gentle female voice answered quickly outside the door: “Hi, this is Xu RenDong’s home, right? I am his class teacher, Mrs. Wang.”

Lian Qiao: “… …”

Because he was too shocked, he couldn’t help but turn around and complain to Little RenDong: “This is obviously a hotel, is your class teacher mentally retarded?”

Little RenDong: “…I didn’t even report for class today. How can the homeroom teacher be here? I’m afraid it’s a female ghost masquerading.”

Lian Qiao: “It makes sense.”

He responded and pretended to open the door, while sticking the crowbar behind the door.

Logically speaking, at this distance, if the opponent was a ghost, she should have avoided it and started screaming. But Teacher Wang behind the door was not afraid at all and still quietly waited for him to open the door.

It seems to be just an ordinary NPC.

Lian Qiao hid the crowbar behind his back and opened the door. Behind the door was a young and beautiful female teacher who seemed to have just graduated from university, exuding a youthful and invincible atmosphere.

She pushed her glasses and asked with a smile: “Hi, are you Xu RenDong’s parents? Is it convenient to let me in?”

Lian Qiao couldn’t help but look back at the small hotel room, wondering in his mind: What do you think, is it convenient or not?

RenDong hid behind Lian Qiao, poking out a small head. The big black eyes looked at the female teacher curiously and warily. Teacher Wang misunderstood and quickly waved her hands and said: “RenDong, don’t be nervous, the teacher is not here to interview your home! The teacher is just here to see you.” 

When Lian Qiao heard this, he immediately lost his temper.

Fuck, is “RenDong” something you can call?

His face darkened and he slammed the door shut. He didn’t hide the crowbar anymore, he just threw it on the bed in a big way and then said to Mr. Wang very rudely: “You saw it too, our house is small and there is no place for you to sit. Please forgive me.”

After finishing speaking, he sat on the bed with little RenDong in his arms, with an expression of “you can just stand”.

The teacher didn’t mind and was still smiling, which showed that the college students of that era were indeed well-educated.

“It’s okay, I’ll be leaving soon. I’m here today for two reasons. One is that RenDong didn’t come to class today, so I wanted to see how he was.”

Lian Qiao hugged little RenDong into his arms and said coldly: “He’s fine, you saw it. What about the second one?”

Little RenDong struggled in his arms but failed. He had no choice but to let him continue to mess around.

Fortunately, Teacher Wang is also really blind, turning a blind eye to Lian Qiao’s rudeness. She opened the briefcase that she had been carrying all the time, took out a stack of exercise books from it and handed it to RenDong with a smile.

“The second and most important purpose is to send you homework.”

Lian Qiao & RenDong: “…”

This, is this… the long-awaited dungeon mission?

Writing elementary school homework?!
