Infinite Secret House 8 Parasite

All players finished their shopping and were ready to return to the dungeon to continue their quest, but they found they couldn't leave.

"Waiter, can't we go back?"

The player asked, thinking he had done something that violated the boss's taboo.

The little bee circled around and said, "There's still one person left."

The players looked at each other in confusion: "Who else? Aren't all of us players here?"

"Yes, the quantity is right."

Little Bee: "There is indeed one more, please wait."

The players had no choice but to wait, wondering which one was missing.

Ni An had no mind to buy any more props. She called out to the lucky doll frantically. Without it, how could she survive such a dangerous dungeon game?

She will die... She will die in the dungeon...

Ni An shuddered at the thought of being torn to pieces and chewed by those monsters. She even thought about staying in the secret house forever and not wanting to go out.

She sat on the ground, hugged her legs, and shivered as she waited for the lucky doll to come back.

"Hello."

Ni An shuddered, slowly raised his gaze, and saw the little bee.

After saying hello, the little bee asked, "Have you decided on a prop?"

Ni An swallowed and said, "No...can you wait a little longer?"

Little Bee: "The time is almost up. If you don't make your choice now, it will be considered as no transaction and you will be kicked out."

"No! I won't leave!" Ni An suddenly shouted, "I can't leave! I can't go back! I have to wait... I lost a prop, I want to find it before I leave!"

Little Bee explained kindly, "The Secret House won't steal players' items. If you find any items are ineffective, it's probably due to some extremely evil filth. The pollution level has exceeded the limit, so it's been purified."

Ni Anru was struck by lightning: "Pollution, pollution level exceeds the standard?"

She clutched the doll, her voice trembling, "Impossible! It's a lucky doll that has saved me so many times. How could it be filthy?"

"It's you! You made it up to trick me! You stole my props! All the props you have here must have been stolen this way! Give me back my lucky doll!"

Crazy players are the most uncontrollable, and Little Bee doesn't like this type of players.

However, following Xie Yunsui's instructions from upstairs, it silently turned on the projection function: "Hey, do you want to see your lucky moment?"

Ni An's breathing stagnated: "What?"

"You said it saved you several times. We extracted those 'lucky' moments from its memories. If we were lying to you, how could we fabricate your shared experiences with it?"

Ni An was caught off guard and faced the real moment.

The so-called portion that was eaten just escaped the poison. In fact, all the food was normal. It was her doll that secretly contaminated and poisoned other people's food, leaving only hers.

The so-called hiding place was just where the monster couldn't see her. In fact, her doll deliberately lured the monster in, and she devoured it to replenish energy in her fear, and she said that the monster had left.

The so-called fall on flat ground means that the doll tripped on purpose, because it still needs her body and of course cannot tolerate any loss.

Even the two monster-like dungeons were chosen for her by Wawa, because the monsters in them were no match for Wawa.

…

Those experiences, including in Star City, when Wawa encouraged her to go out and gather intelligence, heard about the secret house, sensed someone carrying a pass and asked her to make friends, followed them into the dungeon, and came to the secret house...

There is no such thing as luck in all of this. In fact, it is all the doll’s plan.

Ni An looked at the projection and saw a scarlet, wriggling monster crawling behind him. He felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

How did her lucky doll turn into such a monster?!

"Do you want to know what its purpose is?"

The little bee was ready to move, as if trying to break her last shaky hold.

The monster in the glass bottle upstairs screamed: "Don't say it! Don't say it!!!"

Xie Yunsui used his spiritual power to slap it several times in the glass bottle.

Ni An had a numb expression on his face: "Is it... for my health?"

The little bee chuckled and said, "If you want to confirm, you can cut a hole on your finger and see."

Ni An reacted slowly for a moment: "I don't have a knife."

She wants to see.

The little bee flew over happily and gently cut a wound on her with its sharp wings.

What flowed out of the fingertips was not blood, but dark red cotton wool squeezed out like a stuffed cotton doll.

There is no last thought left.

Ni An suddenly knelt on the ground, but for no reason he felt his body become light.

The fear of the dungeon game, which was weighed down on my heart by the Lucky Doll's repeated nagging, seemed to be inexplicably cleared away by my body.

The monster in the glass bottle also calmed down: "It's over... It's all over..."

It turned its body, and the shape of an eye condensed in the wriggling red mass and stared at Xie Yunsui.

"It's all your fault! I'm almost there! As soon as this dungeon is over, I can completely switch bodies with her, and I can return to the player's main city! I won't have to be this damned evil ghost anymore!"

"She doesn't trust me anymore! I can't control her anymore! It's all over!!"

“I’m going to kill you!!”

It hit the glass bottle frantically, as if it wanted to break the bottle and die together with Xie Yunsui.

Xie Yunsui was too lazy to even give it a look.

He went downstairs and this time did not hide his figure, but appeared directly in front of Ni An.

Ni An stirred: "Are you... the boss? Am I going to die?"

"You haven't been completely alienated yet. You're still a player. Try to clear the dungeon. You'll survive while you have a chance."

The best thing about being a player is that even if you are seriously ill, as long as you are still alive, you can continue to live.

Ni An's pale face showed a little smile: "Thank you, but I... I'm too stupid, I'm afraid I don't have a chance to complete the dungeon game."

Xie Yunsui slapped a sobering talisman on her forehead.

The talisman paper scattered into starlight, fell into her eyes, and then reflected a human figure.

"Everything the monster says is meant to discourage you and make you more reliant on it. Getting to where you are now is all your own credit. The monster's influence on you is limited. Don't underestimate yourself."

The gentle and affirmative words carried a reassuring power, and Ni An took them deeply to heart.

She propped herself up and stood up.

"Boss Xie, I still have 1,300 lives left. Can you recommend an item to me?"

"You've been possessed by a monster before, making your body more attractive to parasitic or psychic monsters in dungeons. Avoid these dungeons for now, and be careful in other dungeons as well. I recommend buying these Qingling earrings; they'll help you stay clear-headed and less susceptible to being controlled."

Xie Yunsui took out a thin spiral earring prop and offered a price.

When he only had 500 lives left, Ni An decisively made a deal.

The moment she put on the earrings, she felt her mind became clearer. It turned out that all those details of her interactions with the lucky doll, which she had never thought about before, were filled with an imperceptible temptation.

"Thank you, you saved me. What can I do for you?" Ni An asked anxiously but hopefully.

Xie Yunsui smiled and shook his head: "You don't need to do anything for me, just work hard for yourself."

He waved his hand and sent this group of players out of the secret house.

Back at the dungeon, the other players looked at Ni An with strange expressions.

They all murmured: Did we have this player before?

Ni An scanned their expressions one by one, and suddenly realized that the monster was trying to erase even her existence. If it weren't for Boss Xie, she would probably have disappeared from this copy.

Can she do it on her own?

She looked at the scars on her fingers and suddenly had an incredible idea.

Will her body stop bleeding?

When you get hurt, it won’t hurt, just cotton wool will come out. Just stuff the fallen cotton wool back in and sew it up, and you will be a complete person again!

Maybe she can be bolder and break through.

Boss Xie runs the secret house to make a living.

Then she will work hard to clear more dungeons and then go to the secret house to spend money!

Let Boss Xie make a fortune!

-

Xie Yunsui beat the scarlet monster again and again, and finally beat it into the point where it lost all its temper.

The monster finally gave up struggling and muttered its origins.

He used to be a gamer, and had played many dungeon games, so he could be considered one of the top players.

The Heart-Seaming Orphanage is considered an intermediate dungeon. The main reason is that the boss likes to hide in the dolls in the hands of the children in the orphanage and can also move. There are also many taboos and rules, but relatively speaking, there are also many rewards after completing this dungeon.

Because of his outstanding abilities, the player has been earning a lot of life and items in mid- and high-level dungeons. After coming to this dungeon, he did not take the dungeon boss seriously.

The boss was indeed no match for him, it was just too difficult to deal with. In the final countdown stage, the player didn't want to fight with the boss anymore, so he simply took out the props and bombed it to death.

He thought that after the bombing was over, he could happily return to the player's main city and receive generous prizes.

But when the countdown ended, he remained in the copy forever.

——Became the new boss.

Xie Yunsui raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect to see a living person just as he had this idea.

He was a little curious: "How do you still have the player's memories?"

"How should I know? I've become a monster! Why don't you erase my memory? Letting me live so conscious like this is no different from being dead..."

The monster's body was full of resentment, and it was about to hit the glass bottle again without saying a word.

Xie Yunsui simply explored his memory directly, as a monster and as a player.

The player's memory seems to be slowly fading, and the contents of the novice dungeon and the initial low-level dungeon levels are beginning to blur.

In the monster's memory, there is only the confrontation with the player. The boss also has rules and taboos. You can't just kill him if you want to. He is not a boss in an escape game.

He struggles with the dual identities of player and boss, and is forced to attack the players due to the rules of the monsters.

Gradually, he seemed to lose his humanity, began to get used to the identity of the boss, and even blamed himself for not achieving the elimination rate.

I just occasionally recall the glory days when I was a player.

Until I met Ni An.

She was a very innocent and kind little girl. Unlike other players who were overly cautious, she was always overly patient with children and spared no effort and energy to advance those side quests that no one cared about.

He set his sights on Ni An and gained her trust without much effort.

He placed a strand of his spirit on a rag doll, pretending to be a lucky doll, and "rescued" her several times, making her trust him and rely on him, making it easier for him to parasitize her.

After all, it is a spiritual being. If the player is too alert, he will be ejected.

Just like that, a wisp of his spirit followed Ni An through the level and returned to the player's main city.

He returned to that familiar place, but no one could hear his voice except Ni An.

The new players had never heard of his former name.

When it is mentioned occasionally, the old players lament that he had lost his way and died in the dungeon, wasting so many items and lives.

He originally just wanted to follow Ni An back and meet the old players again.

Until this moment, he wanted to replace Ni An like crazy.

I want to become a player again.
