Chapter 194: The Predicament of Dark City
I deeply understood Chi Xinrong's current emotions and mindset, but there was nothing I could do at the moment. All I could do was offer a symbolic comfort, saying, "Rongrong, just hang in there. Once I find Fat, I'll leave your body, and you can come out." As I spoke, I felt a pressure in her body that resembled the urge to relieve oneself, which made me awkwardly aware of the situation.
Quickly, my initial plan to find Fat shifted to finding a restroom.
Where is the restroom?
"Ma Qi, you... remember what I said," Chi Xinrong said with a trembling voice.
"Enough already. If I don't get to the restroom, are you going to wet yourself?"
"Ma Qi, you're so mean."
"Stop wasting time. Hurry up and tell me where the restroom is!"
"Go straight left, then turn right. You'll see a sink; after that, turn right again. Don't go down the stairs; just keep going straight, and you'll find the restroom."
I couldn't hold it any longer. Hearing Chi Xinrong give me the exact location of the restroom made me dash towards it with my legs crossed. As soon as I entered, I saw a man standing up and pulling up his pants. He looked surprised to see me and after a brief pause, he smirked lewdly and said, "A beautiful girl like you coming here for fun? What a taste... I like it..."
Seeing this disgusting man with his unkempt beard and foul breath reaching out towards me made my blood boil. I kicked him hard while cursing, "Get lost!" After that, I quickly backed out and took a few steps to the right, glancing at the tiled wall adorned with images of girls in skirts before rushing back inside.
Once inside, I spotted a nurse in a dark blue uniform playing on her phone. She glanced at me when I entered but quickly returned her focus to her device. Meanwhile, I felt increasingly uneasy, convinced that I had walked into the wrong place.
At first, I was uncomfortable; then I looked in the mirror and realized it was indeed Chi Xinrong's reflection. She was a woman, and here I was in her body—what was there to be afraid of? Seeing that the nurse was indifferent to my presence gave me the confidence to boldly find a stall and relieve myself. However, as I squatted down, Chi Xinrong's voice echoed in my mind: "Ma Qi, you're a man! You can't look when a woman is using the restroom, and you can't reach out and touch anything!"
I replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Come on, stop pretending to be innocent. I saw you getting cozy with that person just now, don’t think I didn’t notice."
"Forget about just now! I don’t even know what I was doing. If you keep talking nonsense, I swear I’ll never come out again."
"Come on, I don’t have time to play games with you, and I’m not good at comforting girls. Don’t act all dramatic in front of me, Ma Qi."
"Ugh! What kind of twisted logic is that? You were the one in the wrong, taking my things, and now you’re acting like this? Who do you think you are?" Chi Xinrong shouted with a quivering voice.
"Shh! Be quiet. If you annoy me any further, I’ll take pictures of your body with my phone, just watch me."
Surprisingly, that threat worked. Chi Xinrong fell silent. In the quiet, I could hear Nurse outside playing a game; it sounded like she was playing Candy Crush. Playing games at work while hiding in the bathroom—this nurse really had some peculiar tastes.
In a place like this bathroom, no matter how much it’s cleaned or sprayed with air fresheners, there’s still a faint lingering odor.
And this nurse playing games during work hours clearly had her priorities all wrong. But none of that mattered to me; the key issue was that Chi Xinrong wouldn’t let me reach down to adjust my pants. How was I supposed to pull them up? I couldn’t just waltz out with my underwear hanging down to my ankles—if I did that, I’d definitely be seen as crazy and get caught.
Frustrated, I exclaimed, "Chi Xinrong, if you keep this up, I'm just going to walk out like this and see whose face gets embarrassed."
"You wouldn’t dare..."
I stood up and reached for my pants while looking at the ceiling. My hands accurately grabbed hold of my trousers: "Well then, if I’m just pulling up my pants without looking, that should be fine, right?"
This time she behaved herself; at least she didn’t spout any more nonsense. After adjusting my pants without looking in the mirror or washing my hands, I walked straight out.
"Hey, Ma Qi! Wash your hands!"
I looked at the slender, delicate fingers and shook my head in regret. In my heart, I thought how such lovely hands had only been used once. With a mischievous grin on my face, I joked, "These hands aren't mine, why should I wash them?" After a few jokes, I felt something was off.
What felt wrong was that after this woman had used the restroom, her underwear felt slightly damp, like a man who hadn't fully finished urinating and had dribbled a bit onto his pants. It was uncomfortable to walk like this, and just as I was about to head back to the stall to see what was going on, Chi Xinrong started calling out again.
"You have to wash..."
"Rongrong, what's wrong down there?" This time I wasn't joking; that damp feeling was awkward and hard to accept. No matter how I walked, it felt uncomfortable, as if I had forgotten something crucial in the process of using the restroom.
"Please, Ma Qi, don't mess up my body. Just think of a way to get out of here!" Chi Xinrong's voice was almost pleading.
"Alright, just behave and tell me what's uncomfortable down there?" After I asked, Chi Xinrong fell silent. Damn it, I thought being a woman was troublesome. Luckily it wasn't Aunt Flo's time; if it were, it would be even more complicated.
I needed to find Fatty quickly and escape from this troublesome body. It would be better to turn back into a man.
"After you use the restroom, you should gently wipe with clean tissue; otherwise, you'll feel uncomfortable all day."
"Ah..." I froze. How was I supposed to do that? I couldn't use her own hands or look at them. But if I didn't do something about it, I'd feel uncomfortable all day. With no other choice, I turned around and quickly returned to the restroom. Feeling around in my bag for some high-quality tissue, I squatted down and wiped gently outward with the tissue. I wasn't sure if I got everything clean, but standing up this time felt much better.
It seemed that no matter what, girls had to use tissue to wipe clean after going to the bathroom; that's how they felt comfortable.
Having sorted out Chi Xinrong's issue and calming her down, I needed to find Fatty next. As I exited the restroom, a nurse in the hallway seemed to be waiting specifically for me. When she saw me come out, she waved directly at me.
"Buddy."
Stone!
I walked over, and she gazed at me with affection, then winked before grabbing my hand. "Don't be like this; what do you mean? It won't look good if someone sees us." My voice came out as a man's voice, but fortunately, no one was passing by.
The nurse's voice was even more startling, sounding like a haunting echo from a stone.
"Something happened to Fatty; we need to hurry."
With that, the stone-like figure shot out from the nurse's Yintang point, and she slumped to the ground.
Hearing that something had happened to Fatty made me anxious to rush over and check on him. However, after only a few steps, I turned back to look at the nurse, worried about whether she would be alright.
"You can't handle big matters; there are plenty of people coming and going here. Someone will notice her fainting soon. We need to find Fatty first."
But no, Fatty was just an empty shell; his true spirit was still in the shop. I had brought out his vessel, and I needed to return it intact. If anything happened to him, how could I face my deceased grandfather?
