Chapter 3 It has a strange arc

the next day.

Chi Liu suddenly opened his eyes in the morning light that seeped in through the gap in the curtains.

Before he regained consciousness, he hissed and moved his stiff and painful fingers, finally sensing the presence of his body as if it had been crushed by something...

Hey, isn't he dead?

There was a strong hand across his waist. He was startled for a moment and slightly tilted his body, then a handsome sleeping face came into his sight.

Chi Liu opened his eyes wide: Who is this?

After a while, some of his memories came back to him and Chi Liu's face suddenly turned red: "..."

Last night was too crazy, and he couldn't remember much now...

His throat moved: If this wasn't a dream, it would be too embarrassing...

Chi Liu stroked his face for a long time and prepared himself mentally before he took a deep breath, removed his arm from around his waist, stood up, rubbed his aching forehead, and walked barefoot to the bathroom. After a while, the sound of water splashing was heard.

Chi Liu stood under the shower with his body stiff and covered with terrible marks, staring at his abdomen in astonishment: the skin there was originally fair and delicate, covered with thin and beautiful abdominal muscles and mermaid line.

At this time, the abdominal muscles and mermaid line are still there, but there is no good skin. It is slightly raised in a strange arc, as if the woman has just become pregnant...

Chi Liu moved his body subconsciously, and suddenly his eyes widened, his cheeks red as if blood was dripping...

That bastard...

But then I remembered that it seemed like I took the initiative...

Under the rushing water, Chi Liu lowered his head, bit his lip and pressed it against his abdomen. The warm water mixed with something else flowed down his legs. His face and earlobes were completely red, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to disappear immediately...

…

I don't know how long it took before the sound of water stopped.

Chi Liu stood by the bed, wondering where on earth he was, picking up any clothes he could still wear - including an ill-fitting shirt that didn't belong to him.

The man on the bed was still sleeping soundly, and Chi Liu could hardly hear his breathing.

He looked innocent and naive when he was sleeping, his face was three-dimensional and perfect like an ancient Greek statue, pure and handsome like an angel.

Chi Liu's face was still red after he put on his clothes. He looked at the other person awkwardly and distressedly for a long time. When he was about to leave, he accidentally saw something on the bedside table.

It was an ordinary mobile phone, with an exquisite metal card pressed under the phone, which looked like a business card or an ID card.

When Chi Liu accidentally glanced at the words above, his pupils shrank: Yingwang Group·Chuqi.

Chi Liu: "..."

He looked at the man sleeping harmlessly on the bed in disbelief, then immediately turned and left the room.

…

The moment you step out of the hotel, a strange and noisy world rushes towards you.

Under the rising sun, there are tall buildings, busy traffic, and the streets are full of pedestrians rushing to work.

The sound of cars, people, phone calls, and the sweet female voice in an advertisement on the huge electronic screen opposite poured into Chi Liu's ears at the same time, and his ears were buzzing.

This is not his world.

But it looked like a very normal world - if he hadn't seen the business card.

He saw the infinite flow novel called "Player's Game Manual" in his niece's room.

In the story, players need to overcome the sinister copies set by them in a terrible world in order to find the passage to the vacation world.

The vacation world is the most sacred and desired existence for players, and very few players can reach it through dungeons.

Moreover, the players who were struggling in the dungeon did not know that their gods had easily sneaked into the vacation world, established the Yingwang Group in human skin, and killed all the players who had finally arrived there.

Later on, He even married an NPC and had children with him, and gave birth to the ultimate boss who destroyed the world!

Chi Liu looked at the advertisement of Yingwang Group on the electronic screen opposite, twitched the corners of his mouth which were numb for some unspeakable reason, looked at the road sign again, and strode in one direction.

......

"Comrade police officer." Chi Liu sat in the police station on Chunyu Street, looking at the opposite side with a serious face, but he couldn't say the rest of the words.

What he actually wanted to say was: Comrade police, our world is in danger. The evil spirit has invaded!

But it feels really incongruous and insane to say this to a police officer in a world that feels very real and normal.

What's more, he wore it and slept with that evil god...

When these words appeared in his mind, he wondered if he was crazy.

The young policeman tapped the pen in his hand and said in a very gentle manner: "Well, go ahead."

Chi Liu smiled sincerely and asked tentatively, "...I want to ask, if you encounter an unnatural abnormal incident, can you come to our station to report it to the police?"

If this really is a vacation world, then every police station should have an abnormal incident handling department responsible for handling these incidents.

After all, monsters have infiltrated and invaded, which will always cause abnormalities.

Even if the tiny NPCs do not understand the truth of the world, they will put up an extremely tenacious resistance in order to protect their precious daily lives.

The policeman put down his pen, looked at the young man opposite him with some concern, and gently reminded him: "...Are you exhausted recently? We young people can't avoid seeing a doctor. No matter what the problem is, we must go to the hospital in time."

It seems that there is no such department anymore.

Chi Liu didn't ask any more questions and smiled: "Well, maybe I'm hallucinating. Thank you, I'll go."

He stood up and was about to leave when the policeman turned on a palm-sized electronic screen beside the table and reminded him with a smile: "Wait a minute, I need to register your identity. Look here."

Chi Liu turned around and was startled. He was a time traveler and it was impossible for him to have an identity in this world.

The electronic screen had already read his face. With a "ding dong" sound, the identity verification was passed. Chi Liu looked at the electronic ID card with his photo and name printed on it on the screen and opened his eyes wide: He actually had an identity in this world...

A kind of golden finger for traveling through books?

Having an identity can always reduce a lot of trouble. Chi Liu didn't let himself think too much. After leaving the police station, he walked deep into Chunyu Street - he wanted to verify another place.

In the book, a small number of players who arrived at the vacation world established a secret player center to fight against the evil god.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Chi Liu stood in front of a luxurious small building and confirmed that the player center did not exist either.

In the original work, this should have been an ordinary and low-key apartment building, and the player center was in a room on the sixth floor.

In order to guide newly arrived companions, players will use player bracelets to leave special biological particles nearby. Those particles will only be detected by the same bracelets, but they will react with a large number of surrounding plants, making the plants sweet.

Chi Liu chewed a bitter normal willow leaf and turned away.

At this time, a luxury car slowly drove out from the carved iron gate, and a blond and blue-eyed face appeared in the half-rolled window. The man looked at the elegant back under the trees in the distance, and paranoid interest suddenly emerged in his empty eyes.

…

On a sunny afternoon, Chi Liu was walking on the road with his hands in his pockets, casting rustling shadows on the trees.

He stroked the mobile phone he brought from his own world in his trouser pocket, thinking about his elder brother, sister-in-law, and lovely little niece.

He broke his promise.

After looking down for a while, Chi Liu smiled, with warmth at the corners of his lips - he was still alive, it wasn't that bad.

Moreover, there is no Abnormal Events Handling Department, and there is no Player Center. The probability that the lousy guy he slept with yesterday was a human immediately increased by at least fifty percent!

Well, they are all good things.

Chi Liu's steps became much lighter. He took out his cell phone and tried to turn on the screen. He thought it would be even better if his money could still be used. He could open a bar in this world and make a living.

Three seconds later, Chi Liu stared at his phone with wide eyes.

The bad news was that, as expected, he couldn't dial the phone at home, and neither the app nor the mobile phone card or electronic bank card could be used or read.

The good news is that his phone has dual SIM cards... There is actually another card in the card slot. This card is now automatically activated, the address book is blank, and an APP appears on the screen.

The APP automatically read Chi Liu's face to log in. It seemed to be the payment transaction software of Vacation World, showing the balance: 10 million. Owner: Chi Liu.

Chi Liu raised his eyebrows: Wow.

Goldfinger is very considerate.

Chi Liu immediately took a taxi to the most prosperous commercial district for a big meal, strolled around the city for an afternoon, changed himself into new clothes from head to toe, and threw the shirt that looked very unpleasant into the trash can.

In the evening, he found the store location he liked.

Yunzhong Building faces the river on one side and is one of the city’s landmark buildings. It is located on the city’s most prosperous commercial street.

Its top floor is circular in shape, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the river side and a large terrace with a wide view. Not only can you overlook the river, but you can also see the towering office buildings in the commercial district opposite.

"Our location and scenery are really good, suitable for a high-altitude bar," the manager enthusiastically promoted on the terrace, "There are many white-collar workers nearby, and everyone likes to have a drink after get off work or on weekends to relax."

"And there's a kitchen and a small warehouse here. It couldn't be more convenient for you to open a bar!"

Chi Liu was indeed very satisfied with this place. When he visited, he preset various functional areas in his mind. When he came to the spacious terrace, he asked, "What did this store do originally? Why did it close down?"

The shops in this building are indeed very popular, and this is the only one available for rent.

The manager was silent for a moment after hearing this. He didn't know what he was thinking of. His face twisted and he said, "This used to be a restaurant. Normally, the restaurants here are doing very well, but... the owner of this restaurant has very unique tastes, and the food he serves to customers is really..."

Chi Liu: "?"

The manager twitched his lips and opened his phone. He searched for the reviews and placed them in front of Chi Liu: "I can only say that it's unpalatable, which is the best evaluation."

Chi Liu saw those weird animated pictures: "..."

In the thick dark blue liquid of unknown name, fish eyeballs were rolling around, staring at the screen. Several thick and strange raw squid tentacles were tumbling in the liquid due to the stress reaction of muscle nerves, and bubbles were coming out.

Customer No. 1 commented angrily: "Can you believe this dish is called [Flesh and Blood]?! Why does a restaurant have such dark cuisine and such a tragic dish name? I called the boss to argue with him, but he was very aggrieved! He said he dedicated himself to this dish, so why don’t people like it!"

"Uh, what does the above person mean? The boss even sacrificed himself to buy this damn formula? God, this guy is being cheated so badly!"

Customer number two was resentful and broke down: "Did you know that their drink is octopus blood mixed with octopus ink? I drank that awful blue stuff and then asked the boss what it was! "

…

The manager scrolled through several weird and bad reviews he had found and said, "...Anyway, that's it. The boss later went bankrupt and is now working as a cleaner in a building. If you rent this place, you might run into him again in the future."

Chi Liu: "."

The manager then took out a document and said, "If you are satisfied, you can sign the letter of intent first. It is too late today. I will take you to the employer tomorrow to sign the formal terms. You need to have the official seal of the employer!"

Chi Liu nodded, leaned casually on the terrace, and signed his name.

At this moment, he frowned and turned abruptly to look across the river.

Somehow, he always felt that... someone was looking at him, a gaze that could not be ignored, projected onto him as if it were real, causing the hairs on his back to stand on end.

The substance felt like... something was licking the back of his neck.

But how could it be possible? Someone was watching him from across a river on a terrace on the 66th floor of this building?

Seeing Chi Liu's strange expression, the manager hurriedly asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

Chi Liu tried hard to suppress the feeling of disobedience. He smiled and pointed to the tallest and most imposing building across the river: "What building is that?"

Manager: "Oh, that place, Yingwang Building. Our building belongs to Yingwang. We will go there to sign the formal contract tomorrow!"

Chi Liu: "..."

…

The president’s office on the top floor of Yingwang Building.

The tall and handsome man in a suit and tie stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, looking across the rolling clouds and the broad river, his eyes focused precisely on one place.

The neon lights of the city outside the glass had begun to flicker, and the man's shiny black pupils were filled with curiosity and interest.

Secretary Wen stood behind him and first praised and affirmed the boss as usual: "Boss, you performed very well at the bidding meeting today. Only someone as wise as you could have attended a meeting so perfectly."

The boss did not publicly throw the competitor's stupid NPC son who came to provoke him out of the window on the 30th floor. He just launched a mental pollution to make the other party have nightmares for three months.

What a kind and merciful treatment, which saved his secretary a lot of trouble. The boss is really great!

Secretary Wen was in a really good mood, and spoke much more cheerfully: "Also, I'm really relieved that you didn't eat that NPC last night."

God knows he had a psychological struggle all night last night over whether or not to help the boss destroy the body. It was really great that he didn't have to hide an indigestible corpse of a strange NPC vomited out by the boss into his body!

The man ignored the compliments. He shook the goblet filled with dark red liquid in his hand like a normal president. However, a sturdy dark blue tentacle soon emerged from his sleeve. It reached into the goblet as if it had life and sucked up the liquid cleanly without any elegance - he seemed to prefer eating with other parts of his face rather than his mouth.

A helpless yet strange smile appeared on the man's face: "My little believer is really too fanatical."

Secretary Wen was a little confused: "......?"

The man continued to stare in a certain direction, his dark pupils flashing with a strange light, and said, "He offered me fine wine last night and asked for my seeds. Today, he followed me here again."

Although he woke up in the morning and found that the little believer had left because he was too shy, he still secretly took away his clothes because he admired him too much.

He smiled and shook his head, his handsome face reflected in the glass window: "It's really a headache to be so fanatical and clingy."

Secretary Wen looked at the much more lively smile on her boss's face and was in a trance: "???"

What the hell? What is the boss talking about? ? What wine, what seeds, what believers? ? ?

What on earth happened last night?!

…

At night, Chi Liu took a hot bath and just lay down on the soft bed of the hotel, he turned over with a "hiss" - when his tense nerves relaxed and he stopped being busy, he felt the abnormality of his body very clearly.

Certain scenes unconsciously emerged in his mind again. He twitched his mouth and covered his face. His fair cheeks and neck were flushed again. He didn't have a fever even though it was like that. Should he say he was lucky or just gifted...

I don't know when those ugly marks on his body will disappear.

To be honest, he didn't want to see the guy he had sex with at all - even if the other person was really a human.

No one would feel awkward seeing a stranger they had a one-night stand with again.

But he really liked that store and there was no way he would give it up just because of this embarrassment.

Chi Liu took a deep breath, wrapped himself in the quilt and closed his eyes - in addition to going to Yingwang to sign the contract tomorrow, he also had to find a comfortable place to live nearby.

As he completely fell into a sweet sleep, he thought, I really hope that the man didn't see his face at all that night.
