Chapter 121 Strange singing in the record store

   Zhou Bai walked over and looked up at the dazzling array of records on the cabinet.

   Unable to bear it, he stretched out his hand and touched it lightly.

  Suddenly, a lot of yellowed confetti fell from the cardboard box outside the record.

  The skinny old man sitting on the chair immediately sat up straight when he saw Zhou Bai's movements.

   "Huh? Don't break my record."

   Zhou Bai quickly withdrew his hand.

   "Sorry, I was just looking for a record.

   Excuse me, is there an album with the song "Jingle Bells" in it? "

  The skinny old man stretched his neck and put his hands next to his ears.

   "What? The song 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town'?"

   Zhou Bai leaned closer to his ear and amplified his volume.

   "It's Jingle Bells!"

  The skinny old man suddenly realized.

   "Oh, you mean My Christmas Tree?"

   Zhou Bai helplessly shook his head at him.

  So, he continued.

   "Jingle Rock? Silver Christmas? Last Christmas..."

   Zhou Bai heard the old man recite Christmas-related songs one after another, but he didn't recite the song he wanted.

   can only sigh silently.

   Zhou Bai seriously suspected that this old man did it on purpose.

  Rule 4 of the Christmas Eve Survival Rules.

  【The owner of the record store may tell you that there is no record of the song "Jingle Bells". But don't give up, please be sure to play this song on Christmas Eve. 】

  When Zhou Bai saw this rule, he should know that this record is not so easy to get.

  He waved to the skinny old man, and then walked out of the record store.

   If you continue to entangle with him like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy a record.

   It's better to go back first, think of a way, and come back again.

  So, Zhou Bai walked out along the original road.

  Behind him, the melodious singing still echoed on the road.

  Zhou Bai was walking in the alley, when a mother and son walked towards him.

  The alley is too narrow, the three of them might not be able to pass together.

  So Zhou Bai turned sideways and made way for them to pass first.

  However, when the mother and child passed by Zhou Bai, he heard the little boy talking to his mother.

   "It's so quiet. Mom, let's go home quickly."

   Zhou Bai suddenly felt something was wrong.

   then turned to look at them.

   Unexpectedly, that mother was also looking at Zhou Bai.

   Zhou Bai's heart skipped a beat.

  Reminding him on purpose?

   Before Zhou Bai could react, he saw the mother, leading the little boy, turn into another alley.

   Zhou Bai listened to the voice that kept singing.

  Then followed the direction of the singing and looked towards the record store.

  The lights on the record store were flickering, the dilapidated look, and the surrounding environment seemed a bit out of place.

  Seeing this, Zhou Bai unconsciously clenched his hands tightly.

  He picked up the brooch pinned to his clothes, and stabbed it into his hand.

  Suddenly, the pain spread from his fingertips to his brain.

  A bean-sized bead of blood dripped down as the brooch was pulled out.

  Zhou Bai endured the pain, then looked at the record store again.

  I saw that the shop was still there, but the singing had disappeared.

  The surrounding area was so quiet that even the sound of his own heartbeat could be heard very clearly.

  Zhou Bai wiped off the blood on his hands, put the brooch back on his clothes, and then quickly walked out of the alley.

  In front of the screen, the experts who were watching the live broadcast also realized that something was wrong.

  Especially other people squatting in the live broadcast room of Daxia Kingdom, preparing to copy their homework.

   They quickly recorded their discovery in their own notebook.

  In the live broadcast screen, Zhou Bai quickened his pace.

   After returning to the main road, he relaxed a little.

  He tried hard to recall where the contamination began.

   recalled the experience after arriving at this dungeon, but found nothing unusual.

  Especially since he entered this dungeon, everyone he met had no tendency to be polluted at all.

  He thought of this, and looked at his hands.

  On the back of Zhou Bai's hand, those tiny fluffs were still there.

   That is to say, his physical condition will continue no matter how many copies he goes through.

  Then, it is not impossible for him to be contaminated in the pharmaceutical factory since the last dungeon.

  Although he thinks the possibility of this reason is extremely high, he still dare not draw conclusions lightly.

  In the world of ghost stories, you still have to be more vigilant.

  He thought of this, and looked back at the alley behind him.

   I feel more and more that the old man and the record store have a weird feeling.

   It seems that the difficulty of the task of buying records has increased a lot.

   Fortunately, Zhou Bai still has six days to think about this issue.

  He left his original location and continued to look for shops suitable for purchasing in this small town.

  The next itinerary went a lot smoother.

   Zhou Bai found a shop selling candles.

   Then I bought all the candles in their house.

  Rule 2 of Christmas Eve Survival Rules.

  【On Christmas Eve, you need to place a lit candle outside the house and make sure it will not go out. Don't say it's impossible, you have to. 】

  How to make a candle burn all night outside the house without going out.

   This is not an easy thing to do.

  So, Zhou Bai planned to light a few candles outside the castle every day starting from today.

   Until a successful experiment is found, the method that can make the candle burn overnight without going out.

  He spent six silver coins, carried two bags of candles, and walked in the direction of the castle along the original road.

   At this time, it is already 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

   Zhou Bai walked out of the town with a candle in his hand, and walked to the path leading to the castle.

  Looking from the path to both sides, weeds are everywhere.

  And the end of the weeds is a whole forest.

   Zhou Bai looked in the direction of the forest.

  In the distance, there seemed to be a figure, with his back facing the forest, walking towards Zhou Bai's direction.

  Because the distance was too far, Zhou Bai could only see a vague outline.

   Zhou Bai felt strange.

  This place is so desolate, who else would come to this place except myself, who was forced to take over the castle?

  Thinking about this, Zhou Bai intentionally slowed down his pace.

   I intend to take a look at that person.

  The person in the distance slowly approached the path.

  At this time, Zhou Bai saw his appearance clearly.

   I saw that his head was shaved bald.

   Wearing a pair of blue overalls overalls.

  Holding a chainsaw in his hand.

   And there was still blood on the chainsaw.
