Mr. Rong's Lovelorn Diary

Chapter 41: I’m afraid you may molest the ‘corpse’!

Translator: DragonRider

Hanging up the phone, Rong Yi still couldn’t come to his sense.

Seeing this situation, Chen Keyao, standing in front of him, asked, “What daughter?”

“...He said that his daughter suddenly fell ill and couldn’t come.” Rong Yi looked at him and murmured.

After a brief surprise, Chen Keyao actually burst into laughter.

“It’s such a pity,” he shook his head as he smiled. “All your serious efforts about dressing up are in vain. No one is here to appreciate it and he’s married, you don’t even stand a chance.”

Rong Yi immediately gave him a look. But in fact, he was not too depressed at the moment. Yu Wenluo was married and had a daughter. He himself had no chance, so was Chen Keyao. They were almost the same. Thinking of this, Rong Yi actually felt a little relieved.

“Then now...”

Chen Keyao had just begun to ask when Rong Yi’s mobile phone vibrated twice.

Yu Wenluo sent the redemption code of the e-tickets, followed by a sentence.

“You can take out three tickets. Deal with the extra one at will and have fun.”

Rong Yi hesitated for a moment and turned the screen of the mobile phone to Chen Keyao to show him the message. Chen Keyao glanced at it and nodded, “But since we are already here, we shouldn’t waste the tickets. Do you agree?”

.

So inexplicably, it came to only he and Chen Keyao left to play the game.

After taking the tickets, they read the tourist notice under the guidance of the staff and entered the game. There were only two of them left in the entire space.

The aisle of the entrance was long and dimly lit, supposed to create a creepy atmosphere.

However, at this moment, Rong Yi found it extremely difficult to get into the groove because the person who was walking behind him kept talking all the way.

“How do I feel that it is like dating now?” Chen Keyao said.

Rong Yi ignored him.

“The lights are dim and the space is small,” Chen continued, “This is actually designed for couples.”

Rong Yi ignored him.

Chen Keyao was not discouraged: “Are you afraid? If you are afraid, I can lend my hand to you.”

Rong Yi ignored him.

“Too scared to talk?” Chen Keyao asked.

“You are so annoying!” Rong Yi finally could not help but turn his head and stare at him.

Chen Keyao immediately shut up, but the corner of his lips curled into a light smile. The light was really bad, but Rong Yi could still see that he was watching himself with a smile on his face.

There was no mood of fear at all.

His heart was now intensely agitated with another kind of emotion.

Rong Yi turned back and sped up to charge forward: “Don’t make trouble and don’t drag me down.”

.

At the end of the corridor was a door.

Rong Yi was still flustered and turned the door handle without hesitation. After opening the door, he finally began to feel a little tense.

The light was not turned on in the room. It was utterly dark except for the faint light that slipped in from the corridor. Almost nothing could be seen.

Seeing this, Chen Keyao took out his mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight mode to look inside. Then, the two men took a deep breath at the same time. Rong Yi even stepped back half a step, and his whole back slammed into Chen Keyao’s chest.

On the sofa in the middle of the room, there lay a person, pale, motionless, and surrounded by blood.

Rong Yi was not a particularly timid person, but even he was badly scared in an instant. He raised his finger and pointed at the man: “This, this, this...”

Then, the other hand still hanging on the side of the body was held by Chen Keyao.

“As I have said, if you are afraid, I can lend you my hand.”

“...”

Rong Yi didn’t answer, but just grabbed his hand hard.

When Rong Yi was hesitating about whether to take a closer look at the sofa, Chen Keyao adjusted the flashlight of his phone to illuminate the wall next to it. Soon, they found the switch of the light.

When they turned the light on, the entire space immediately became bright. Now prepared psychologically, when they looked at the sofa again, it was not so terrible. Yong Yi held Chen Keyao’s hand and carefully took two steps in the direction of the man, and then he made surprising discoveries.

This “corpse” was actually played by a staff member.

...And this staff member looked pretty handsome.

Rong Yi was no longer afraid at once. He swallowed on the sly and then squatted down around the staff and looked carefully.

Chen Keyao pulled him from behind: “What are you doing?”

“Looking for clues!” claimed Rong Yi.

Chen Keyao tried to pull him up: “What clues can you find by staring at someone’s face?”

“Look at the direction he is facing,” he began to talk nonsense, “Hmm... there is a bookshelf there. Go and see if there is anything on the bookshelf that is worth noticing.”

“……What about you?”

“I will continue to find clues on him,” Rong Yi said.

Then he was dragged up by Chen Keyao: “Then we shall go together.”

.

As if to prevent unnecessarily misleading tourists, the furnishings in this room were very simple. Except for the sectional sofa in the middle, there was only the bookshelf, the TV cabinet and the TV placed on it, the empty tea table in the middle, and a painting on the wall.

Every place looked particularly suspicious.

The two rummaged through the room and found a lot of messy things, but had no idea which could be used at present.

Sitting on the sofa and pondering for a while, Rong Yi proposed: “I think the key items may still be on this person.”

“...What are you going to do?” Chen Keyao frowned.

Rong Yi stood up and said, “Let me search his pockets.”

“Wait,” Chen Keyao stopped him. “Let me do it.”

“...What do you want to do?” Rong Yi frowned.

“Search him and see whether there are key props on him,” Chen Keyao said, turning around and walking to the man.

Rong Yi grabbed him, “Then why couldn’t I do it while you could? Are you…?”

“I am afraid that you can’t control yourself and molest the ‘corpse’. Then we will both be expelled from here,” Chen Keyao said.

Rong Yi’s face turned red, “What are you talking about! I... It’s obvious that you begin to think about bad things for his handsome look!”

“Hah, so you think he looks handsome,” Chen Keyao said.

The two men talked as they moved towards where that person was lying, and then the staff, who had been very responsible and stayed unmoved playing the corpse so far, obviously trembled for an instant.

And his face, already white with foundation, seemed to have turned a bit paler.

“...See, you have scared the body!” Rong Yi shouted.

“It is you who keep looking at him in an erotic way.” Chen Keyao looked displeased. “It is also you who want to search him.”

Rong Yi was so angry that he even wanted to pull the body up and ask him to judge.

“What about this? You keep an eye on me while I search his pockets,” Chen Keyao said. “If you think there is something wrong with my action, you can immediately stop me, OK?”

Rong Yi hesitated and nodded.

The man was wearing a shirt and a suit vest with a pocket on his chest. This position was really quite awkward. Chen Keyao was extremely cautious under the stare of Rong Yi, so he only used two fingers to explore.

“What did you find?”

“Yes,” Chen Keyao nodded. “This person is still warm.”

“...”

Rong Yi felt that it should not be an illusion. The body had just moved again.

Chen Keyao took his fingers back: “Empty. Nothing.”

The two exchanged a glance and then both turned to look at the man’s trousers pocket.

“...This time you can do it.” Chen Keyao made a “please” gesture.

Yong Yi swallowed and copied Chen Keyao’s method, stretching out two fingers and carefully groping in there.

“Is there something?”

“It doesn’t seem to,” said Rong Yi. “It’s really warm. Wait for me to check the inside...”

Right at this moment, the body that had been forbearing so far was unable to hold back any more, so he opened his mouth and whispered, “There’s no clue on me.”

Although they knew it was played by a living person all the time, it was still a little scary to suddenly hear a ‘corpse’ talk. Rong Yi jerked back his hand and leaned closer against Chen Keyao.

The body closed his eyes and said in an extremely painful tone, “The unlock code is on the top of the bookshelf.”

.

Finally, they entered the next room smoothly, and both of them felt very embarrassed.

“I think the design here needs a little improvement,” Chen Keyao whispered. “Since there is nothing on the body, they should not let him wear pocketed clothes.”

Rong Yi nodded in approval.

However, Chen Keyao immediately said, “But then you will definitely want to move him away to check.”

“...” Rong Yi whispered in denial, “I won’t.”

While talking, the two were carefully searching the wall for signs. According to the note found in the previous room, this seemingly empty room actually had secrets in it. After careful observation, the two people indeed found a gap on the wall. Unfortunately, after they pushed it for a long time, it remained absolutely unmoved. ‘So we must have used the wrong way,’ they thought.

“Maybe there is some secret gear.” Rong Yi thought for a moment before saying, “Maybe it’s a vase, or a table lamp, or anything. Turn it and the wall will open.”

“But there are no such things in this room.” Chen Keyao looked around.

“Draw inferences and find similar things. Understand? ” he said while searching the room. “Aren’t you a writer?”

“...How does it have anything to do with being a writer?”

“Right,” Rong Yi suddenly remembered something, while looking around and pretending not to have heard the question, “What is your pen name? You haven’t told me yet.”

“Can you concentrate on searching?” Chen Keyao said.

This person was obviously evading the question, and Rong Yi would not let go. He continued to say, “I have a favorite author. I don’t know if you know the name.”

“...Who is it?”

“Called Dreams of the Blue Mountains.” Rong Yi quickly looked at Chen Keyao while talking.

The facial expression of the other party actually changed instantly.

“Do you know him?”

“No, I don’t.” Chen Keyao said.

Lying. There put on the bookshelf in his room were the series of ‘Seeking the Dragon’. No one would believe he didn’t know the author. And his reaction was extremely suspicious.

Rong Yi was thinking about whether to say something more to sound him out when he suddenly stepped on something. Then, a slight sound of click came out from the wall that had remained totally still all the time so far.

He glanced down and noticed a small rectangular bump on the floor.

Just as Chen Keyao went to the wall and tried to push it again, Rong Yi squatted down and took a closer look at the raised floor. After seeing clearly the pattern drawn on it, he was shocked and realized that things might go wrong. He immediately jumped up and rushed to Chen Keyao.

“Don’t look inside!” He held Chen Keyao from behind who had already pushed the wall open. As he was speaking, he reached out his hand to cover Chen Keyao’s eyes.
