Hua Tian's eyes widened, filled with fear.
"What should we do?"
Lin Xun glanced at the dangerous Danger Alarm around Hua Tian's neck.
Since the Danger Alarm hadn't gone off, it meant there was no immediate danger!
"Don't be afraid; we're safe for now."
With Lin Xun's reassurance, Hua Tian felt much more at ease.
The two continued deeper inside.
The corridor of the Changing Room was narrow, resembling the belly of a beast, and it was uncertain what lurked in the darkness ahead.
After walking a few steps, they suddenly found themselves in a spacious area.
Before them was a row of colorful, variously styled ancient costumes.
The clothes had clearly been left there for a long time; not only had their colors faded, but they also emitted a strong musty odor.
Fortunately, Lin Xun and Hua Tian had stuffed their noses with cloth.
Lin Xun examined each piece of clothing displayed in the Changing Room.
Finally, he stopped in front of one particular outfit.
With determination, he yanked the garment out forcefully.
Dust swirled in the air like moths as the clothing was pulled free.
As she pulled out the clothes, a huge rat scurried out from under the hanger and vanished into the darkness.
"Ah!" Hua Tian exclaimed in shock.
She clutched Lin Xun's hand tightly, her eyes filled with terror.
Her delicate face turned pale with fear.
Lin Xun impatiently swatted at Hua Tian's hand, signaling her to let go.
"What are you afraid of? It's just a rat!"
Just a rat?
That rat was bigger than a cat!
However, with Lin Xun's words, Hua Tian relaxed a bit.
Lin Xun examined the red garment in his hands before tossing it back onto the hanger.
"We should go find Summer Lotus," Lin Xun concluded.
Hua Tian looked utterly confused.
What was going on?
Why did they need to find Summer Lotus again?
She wanted to ask but felt too embarrassed to do so.
If she asked too many questions, would Lin Xun think she was foolish and start to dislike her?
At that moment, Hua Tian noticed a name tag embroidered on the hem of the red dress that read "Summer Lotus."
One question was answered, but another arose.
Why did Lin Xun happen to choose the "Summer Lotus" dress among a pile of clothes? What was his reasoning?
Just as he was pondering this, a faint cry for help came from deep within the Changing Room.
"Help! Help! Someone save us!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xun showed no concern for the person in distress and pulled Hua Tian toward the door.
At that moment, the voice continued, "Please, help me! I’m a doctor; I can be of great assistance to you in your Game!"
Lin Xun immediately stopped and turned to Hua Tian, saying, "Helping others is the essence of happiness, don’t you think?"
"Uh... huh?"
Hua Tian was bewildered by Lin Xun's sudden shift in demeanor.
You’re the one who refuses to help, yet you also claim to enjoy helping others? How can you have two faces like this?
[The player is about to break up with his girlfriend when he suddenly hears her crying like a victim of a demolition...]
[So real, it’s freaking real!]
He followed the sound deeper into the Changing Room.
Before long, he arrived at a private changing room.
This changing room was spacious, equipped not only with mirrors and cabinets but also surprisingly contained a single bed.
Lin Xun glanced around the changing room and immediately fixed his gaze on the cabinet beside the mirror.
He opened the cabinet door and, sure enough, found a woman hidden inside!
The woman had bright eyes and white teeth, her face delicately powdered, with skin as pale as snow. Even in the darkness of this environment, her skin shone like a bright moon in the night.
As Lin Xun opened the cabinet door, the woman flinched slightly.
She quickly moved deeper into the cabinet...
It seemed she had not noticed that it was actually two people who had opened the door.
Lin Xun held down the woman who had been struggling all along.
However, after several attempts, he was unsuccessful.
The woman's fear and anxiety grew, and the commotion became increasingly loud...
If they attracted a fourth "person" into the changing room, it would not bode well for them!
"Smack!"
Hua Tian's hand struck the woman's face.
Instantly, she fell silent.
The confusion in her eyes cleared up, finally focusing as Lin Xun and Hua Tian's reflections appeared in her pupils.
"My ability to take action has always been strong," Hua Tian said with a bright smile directed at Lin Xun.
Lin Xun: ...
"Indeed, your 'hands-on' skills are impressive!"
"Please whip me, Hua Tian!"
At that moment, the woman tightly grasped Lin Xun's arm and urged him, "You all need to leave quickly!"
Hua Tian frowned. "Aren't you the one who called us here?"
Lin Xun suddenly turned his gaze toward the changing room, swallowing hard.
"Wait! This woman was completely unconscious just now! The one who called us here isn't her! Someone is mimicking her voice!"
Just then, a man's voice echoed around them, flirtatious and eerie.
"You’re a man? Men aren’t allowed in the Changing Room! I will flay your skin, strip your bones, chop you into meat paste, and then feed it to them!"
"Who are you?" Lin Xun asked calmly.
Most of the ghosts in the brothel were female.
The few male ghosts were usually servants.
And typically, servants wouldn't hide in the Changing Room or exert such pressure on players.
"Crack!"
A faint sound pierced the air.
It was as if someone had snapped a piece of bamboo.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
The sounds echoed all around, like the crackling of firecrackers, rising and falling in a chaotic rhythm.
The woman in the cabinet turned pale, her eyes filled with terror.
She covered her ears, but her teeth chattered in fear, making a creaking sound.
Hua Tian tightly grasped Lin Xun's arm.
Then, as if recalling something, she slowly let go.
At that moment, a shadow flashed across the mirror...
A hand—a pale, feeble hand, stained with blood—slowly crawled out from the mirror.
First came the fingers.
Then the wrist.
Next was the arm.
And finally, the head.
...
An Evil Spirit, its body mangled and bloodied, covered in chunks of flesh and swarming with countless dead rats, crawled out from the mirror.
The Evil Spirit's head was sunken in, revealing a glimpse of red and white inside.
Its belly had a large gaping hole, exposing crimson intestines that lay bare, making a thick and nauseating sound.
All the bones in its body had been broken, causing it to emit a series of cracking noises as it crawled.
Lin Xun glanced at the note, his face filled with disdain.
Is this it?
After all the trouble of escaping from the Haunted Brothel Dungeon, the reason for a Male Ghost's death was so pathetic and humiliating.
Isn't this just embarrassing for their male counterparts?
You might as well have been caught peeping, but to be caught and then killed? That’s one thing. To become a ghost afterward? Fine. But to have someone write a note about it?
Anyone who sees you would know the reason for your death.
It's too shameful, utterly shameful!
