This Damned Thirst for Survival

Two hundred years ago?

Jiang Luo once saw a temple called "White Heron Temple" in the interior of the Fatal Man. If this temple is the precursor to the Jokhang Temple that Ge Zhu talks about, wouldn't the Fatal Man have been alive for at least two hundred years?

Jiang Luo immediately said, "When we wake up, can you take me to visit Jokhang Temple once?"

Ge Zhu was pleased to say, "Of course."

When they finished talking, Wen Renlian looked at Jiang Luo inquiringly, he thought he knew him well and that they were friends he could trust, so he asked directly, " Jiang Luo, what do you want?"

"There is something I need to verify," Jiang Luo set his face in the face of the perceptive Wen Renlian, "but it is something that I cannot tell you yet."

Wen Renlian looked at his scowl carefully and shrugged, "Then we'll wait for the day you tell us."

"Hey," Zhuo Zhongqiu, "you guys stop playing dumb. Let's get down to business, did you guys see the building next to the Splendid Hotel on your way over?"

"You mean this?" Sai Liaoer ran to the window and pulled back the bed curtain, pointing out at a tall building and said, "A ghost building?"

"The Haunted Mansions building?" Jiang Luo raised an eyebrow.

Lu Youyi wondered, "We heard the driver mention Ghosthead Mansion when we took a taxi here."

Sai Liaoer said, "I heard two guests in the hotel say this name, they also called the building the Ghost Building Building, it sounds like the most powerful ghosts are inside the building. There are eighteen floors in the building, and the higher you live, the more terrifying the ghosts are, and I heard that the highest floor is the strongest ghost."

When he finished, he was confronted with seven pairs of eyes staring straight at him. Sai Liaoer stumbled for a moment, "What, what's wrong?"

"Sai Liaoer, you speak Chinese so well now," Lu Youyi exclaims, "your vocabulary is growing, and you speak with a bit of a sense of humour, you could well be a translator."

Sai Liaoer smiled apologetically, "I don't know why, but my Chinese suddenly became very good!"

Jiang Luo looks out of the window, his gaze fixed on the towering building.

At the top, that's where Chi You is located, right?

Once you find him, you should be able to wake up from your dream.

At that moment, Wen Renlian turned his phone screen towards them, "Found it."

This is a thread discussing the Haunted Mansions building, with an overhead view of the building placed on the main floor.

There are many taller buildings than the Ghost Tower, but none of them are as oppressive as the Ghost Tower. Looking down from the sky, the Ghost Tower looks like a huge coffin standing on end, making people feel oppressed and breathless.

The content of the post caught Jiang Luo's attention.

[8th Floor: I don't know what's going on lately, but from the ground floor of the mall to the fifth floor of Shunxin Gym, all the shops look stupid, making me afraid to go there.]

The ground floor of the mall is also having a big sale recently, and people who want to get into the Ghost Building have to queue up in the early hours of the morning. But unfortunately, only 500 people are allowed to enter the Haunted Mansion every day, so there are so few places available that you can't even grab them if you want to.

[39th Floor: Do you know why the Haunted Mansion has been so strange these past two days?]

[Floor 44: It is said that the one on the top floor is waiting for a human to attend an appointment.]

[76th Floor: Topmost Floor? Hahahahaha, how is that possible? Let's not talk about whether or not he would send an invitation to humans, let's just say what person, what person would dare to break all the way into the Haunted Mansion building and successfully reach the very top floor?

Jiang Luo reads these words word for word.

Chi You has almost openly set Jiang Luo up in a way that suits him perfectly, suggesting that if you are strong enough to come to my appointment, then come to the top.

If you miss this date then it means you are not as strong as I thought you were.

He has poked Jiang Luo's itch. Jiang Luo doesn't care about his date, but he has to care about winning and losing. Chi You is a trap with so much fanfare that it's almost like yelling into Jiang Luo's ear with a loudspeaker, but Jiang Luo sees through it and wants to jump in without a second thought.

If this is a war invitation, or a provocation, then Jiang Luo takes it.

He'll be on the top floor, meeting Chi You and going on his wildest date.

Kuang Zheng, who had read the post in silence, wondered, "Why do they want to go to the Haunted Mansion?"

"I find this strange too," Ge Zhu dragged his chin, "looking at their conversations, the ghosts are the most common inside the Haunted Mansions, and the places and ways these ghosts haunt are also unpredictable, and people can die at any time. If it's so dangerous, why do they still go there?"

Jiang Luo thought of the driver's blood-red Haruhi doll and said thoughtfully, "Inside the haunted building, there should be life-saving items that can protect them from ghost attacks."

He said, "Shall we go to the Ghost Building Mansion too? The Ghost Building Mansion is so conspicuous, and all sorts of more information about it is rushing at us, as if someone behind it is guiding us into it."

Wen Renlian put away his phone, "That's what I thought."

Zhuo Zhongqiu's face was vaguely green, "What I encountered last night when I first arrived was already terrifying, what's in this haunted building must be even more terrifying."

Despite saying that, she didn't refuse, but instead began to convince herself, "But it's all in a dream anyway, so consider it a test, and don't you say it, it's one thing after another that's quite exciting."

Jiang Luo looked at her like she had found a confidant, "Yes, I find it exciting too."

When all was said and done, they rushed to the door of the Ghost House building while it was still early.

A long queue had formed in front of the Ghost House building, and a cursory glance showed that these numbers must have exceeded five hundred.

In addition to this long queue, there was a short queue of a few people next to it.

Jiang Luo tapped the man in front of him on the back shoulder, "Uncle, why are there so many people in this group and so few in that group?"

The man in front of him didn't want to talk to Jiang Luo, but when he turned his head and saw Jiang Luo's face, he changed his attitude immediately, "That's a vip channel, as long as you have a membership card for any of the shops in the Ghost Building, you can skip the queue and go straight in. Ordinary people like us can only look at them with envy and hatred. Hey, little brother, are you interested in making big money? I have a business here ......"

Jiang Luo interrupted him, "How many people can you take in on one card?"

The man in front of them laughed "hehehe" and said slyly, "Of course, they can bring in as many people as they want, but they have to be able to bring in that many people. There are only 500 places a day, and if they want to take a shortcut, they will die at our hands even if they don't die in the haunted building!"

Jiang Luo's lips twitched as he deliberately said, "Uncle, thank you for telling me about a shortcut."

He pulled the "Shunxin Gym Card" out of his pocket and gave it two arrogant twirls on his finger in front of the older man. He then swaggered up to the small door with his companions and, amidst numerous resentful and cynical stares, the staff member who had checked the membership card enthusiastically handed it back to Jiang Luo and opened the door to the mall on the ground floor of the ghost building.

After the shock, the uncle looked at them grimly, pooh-poohed the ground, and gloated, "All of you, you better get out alive."

A woman standing in front of him had even greedier eyes than his, "Those are good looking people, don't kill them when they come out, they can be sold for a lot of money!"

The old man said in a hurry, "I've got my eye on the one with long hair, a painted ghost I know just happens to be short of a face, don't any of you steal it from me!"

......

Inside the building, a wide range of shops are open from door to door, with shopkeepers going about their business in their respective shops.

The sparse crowd walked in the middle of the mall, with two shops to the left and right, all with unobstructed glass floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. The shopkeepers' malicious, vicious eyes scanned every human being that came and went.

Jiang Luo looked up at the lift sign. The lift was located at the far end of the mall and to get on it they would have to walk through the entire floor of the mall.

The rules for the ground floor of the mall are posted on the wall as far as the eye can see.

every twenty minutes in the mall, the door of a shop would be opened and the shopkeeper would run out of the shop.

Please buy yourself an outfit that suits you best and spend above $200.
