Chapter 6: Living with Wolves

Although there are many questions, it is clear that the current situation is not suitable for probing deeply. Mo Shouchen took out his phone to check the time, only to find that he had received a new message on WeChat. He had set his phone to silent mode, which is why he had not noticed it.

The water here is too cold; since you are not sleeping anyway, you might as well go back and wash up

Mo Shou Chen was instantly dumbfounded, washing here? Wouldn't that immediately expose the secret

Mo Shoucheng was momentarily stunned. When he entered the room just now, he went straight to the bathroom and did not notice which bed Liu Lei was sleeping on. Therefore, when he came out, he naturally lay down on the bed he slept on in the real world, not realizing that in this alternate world, this bed was not his.

"Ka Ka"!

Mo Shoucheng gently lifted the quilt to create a small opening, wanting to see if "Liu Lei" lying on the other bed was asleep. However, as he peered through the gap in the quilt, he was astonished to discover that, in the darkness, there was actually a person standing in front of his bed

Indeed, Liu Lei did not notice any flaws; he merely cursed and then went to the restroom

I ... ...

Fortunately, Liu Lei did not continue to inquire about m.hetushu.com, so Mo Shouchen naturally did not have to fight with him. The two of them exited the restroom and then walked through the corridor back to the room

After entering the house, Mo Shoucheng immediately rushed into the bathroom, locked the door from the inside, and then leaned against the door, breathing heavily. He felt his legs trembling uncontrollably; the series of shocks he experienced tonight left him no opportunity to catch his breath, making him feel somewhat overwhelmed.

How did you turn off all the lights

Perhaps it was due to extreme fatigue, "Liu Lei" merely complained once and then got up to lie down on another bed

How pretentious!

Mo Shoucheng was about to speak when Liu Lei suddenly stepped forward, coming right in front of him, and then scrutinized his face with a furrowed brow

It got stained with blood, and anyway that coat was old; I had long since wanted to get rid of it, so I just threw it away

Why not go back to the room to wash

Forget it, let's regroup and discuss later

He suddenly felt a tightness in his throat and a buzzing in his head. He quickly fabricated a reason, saying: "I have a bit of a headache, and it seems like I might have a cold. That bed by the window has a cool breeze, so let me sleep on your bed and the one with the books tonight."

Ah, I just accidentally fell and bumped my nose, causing it to bleed. I was just about to wash it.

Upon seeing this WeChat message, Mo Shoucheng was particularly excited, as he had not received a reply for a long time. He had thought that Liu Lei might have encountered misfortune. What had sustained him until now was merely the belief that "one must see the person alive or the corpse if dead"

Mo Shoucheng replied irritably, having already made up his mind that if "Liu Lei" asked where the coat was thrown, he would directly fight him. Who could endure such endless questioning!

Liu Lei glanced at him and said, "Why do you seem so sneaky today, even locking the door to wash your face?"

However, there is one point that Mo Shoucheng has not figured out: this is an alternate world, where any strange occurrence can be explained. But what about that "Liu Lei" he encountered in the real world?

After Mo Shoucheng exited the bathroom, he casually turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a nightlight on. The dim environment provided him with a slight sense of security. He climbed into bed without taking off his shoes, so that he could escape quickly in case of danger

He hurriedly turned on the faucet, washing away the blood from his face and the book, then tore off a towel, wiping his face while opening the bathroom door

How did you end up sleeping in my bed

Liu Lei mumbled as he walked to the bed, then plopped down onto Mo Shoucheng.

Mo Shoucheng turned on the faucet while contemplating how to deal with the current situation. When his hand touched the flowing water, he suddenly thought of a delaying tactic

Mo Shoucheng secretly felt uneasy; the "female cleaner" from earlier was not familiar with him, so it was easy for her to deceive him. However, the "Liu Lei" from the other world would be much harder to fool. Could it be that he had noticed some flaw?

Mo Shoucheng then realized that it was because he had not wiped the blood off his face that it had drawn Liu Lei's attention

Just when he thought he could take a breather, the bathroom doorknob suddenly turned a few times. Immediately after, "Liu Lei" outside began knocking on the door and asking, "What are you doing? Why is the door still locked? Hurry up and open it, I need to use the restroom!"

In fact, he is not at all unfamiliar with the current situation; just an hour ago, he was curled up in his blanket, shivering just like now. On the bed beside him lay an extremely terrifying "Liu Lei".

Mo Shoucheng silently lamented in his heart, wondering if there would ever be a moment to catch his breath

However, the words had already been spoken, so he could only brace himself and walk to the sink.

Liu Lei pointed to the sink beside him and said, "Then you can wash up."

He bent down and then raised his eyes to glance at the mirror on the wall. "Liu Lei" was staring at him through the mirror. As soon as he removed his hand from his face, he would immediately realize that he was not a person from this world

There are indeed many matters to attend to

Mo Shoucheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, yet even so, he did not dare to lift the blanket. It was only by wrapping himself in the blanket that he could slightly alleviate the fear within.

Hearing "Liu Lei" ask this, Mo Shouchen was almost scared to the point of wetting himself. However, he still suppressed the fear in his heart, mustered his courage, and deliberately bumped into "Liu Lei" with his shoulder, then smiled and said: "You are the one being sneaky, hurry up and go to your bathroom!"

Didn’t I leave you a night light? It’s too bright for me to sleep.

I thought you were already asleep, and I was afraid that washing up in the room would wake you, so I came here instead

What should we do about the picture book? Are we really going to fight this monster?

Liu Lei did not say anything further and followed Mo Shoucheng towards the exit. However, just as they reached the door, Liu Lei suddenly asked, "Where is your coat?"

Liu Lei: Where have you been

Mo Shou Chen turned off the faucet, then shook his wet hands and walked out of the restroom. Although returning to the room with the otherworldly "Liu Lei" was somewhat dangerous, if he did not do so, he would be exposed right away. Therefore, he could only take it one step at a time.

Soon, he received a reply from Liu Lei. However, what was strange was that Liu Lei did not type a message but instead sent a drooling emoji. What could this mean?

Just as Mo Shoucheng was trembling with fear, "Liu Lei" pointed at his face and asked, "Why is there blood on your face?"

Mo Shoucheng quickly replied to Liu Lei with a WeChat message, stating that he was already in another world and that they would meet in the public restroom on the 10th floor shortly

Mo Shoucheng knew that his current smile was certainly very forced, but fortunately, he had a towel covering it, so it should not be noticeable

However, I have now received a WeChat message from Liu Lei, indicating that he is still alive. As long as I find a way to reunite with him, I can leave this terrifying world.
