Chapter 115 Safe House [End]

White flames burned around the black stone altar.

The fire illuminated the void, but did not bring any heat.

The sudden drop in temperature made Xu Zhiyan, who was sitting on the stone slab, realize that he was no longer in the safe house.

The ghosts disappeared, and he couldn't help but grab a handful of things outside, but he caught nothing.

There seemed to be only cold air all around.

The palm of his hand resting on the ground touched the cold, hard and sharp surface of the stone slab, which was a bit prickly. The slight pain made Xu Zhiyan frown.

I wanted to open my eyes, but then I remembered the instructions given by the ghosts.

"Bai Jin? Are you here?"

Without opening his eyes, he tried to call Fang Jia's name.

The sound traveled into the darkness and quickly disappeared into the void.

The temperature around me dropped a lot.

Just as Xu Zhiyan was hesitating whether to stand up and open his eyes, a pair of hands reached out from behind him and gently covered his closed eyes.

"I am here."

It's ghosts and gods.

After hearing the answer, Xu Zhiyan's somewhat uneasy heart was completely relieved.

He didn't know why, but he seemed to trust Party A very much. The other party looked unpredictable, but he could feel that the ghosts and gods would not harm him.

I wonder if it was the darkness that robbed me of my vision.

Therefore, the physical perception is particularly strong.

The ghost's palm was icy cold, and as the temperature around him continued to drop, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but shiver and shrank.

As if sensing the young man's condition, the ghost explained softly.

"Lower temperatures can reduce blood vessel activity."

This is also the reason why the nightmare community has cold winters all year round.

Xu Zhiyan nodded, showing a very docile side.

He has always been hard on himself. Although he would seize the time to rest when he could and not let himself suffer any grievances, if it was for the sake of becoming stronger and gaining more benefits, he would not mind stabbing himself twice.

Greed is the best painkiller.

The ghost loosened his grip.

Several shadows emerged from the darkness and handed a smooth black satin ribbon to His palm.

Seeing that the young man was trembling but seemed to have adapted to the current temperature, He no longer hesitated and covered Xu Zhiyan's eyes with the silk ribbon offered by Shadow.

I could originally feel some faint light through my eyelids, but now it is completely blocked and I can't feel anything.

"Why do you cover your eyes?"

He couldn't help but grab the ghost's hand that was retreating and asked.

As a human being, it is inevitable to feel uneasy after losing vision.

“Vision affects your perception, which makes it easier to focus.”

When his hand was suddenly grabbed, the ghost answered indifferently as he looked at the white palm that was tightly holding His fingers.

Although he really wanted to comfort Xu Zhiyan, he knew very well that words would be of no use at this moment. Even if he had made all the preparations, the implant would still be very uncomfortable.

"Becoming stronger always requires some pain."

He withdrew his hand and stood behind the young man.

The shadow lurking in the darkness was summoned and came over quietly.

They turned into hands and quietly unbuttoned the young man's collar, the first, the second, the third...

Soon, the black shadow stripped off Xu Zhiyan's upper body clothes.

Due to years of not seeing the sun and poor health, the young man's skin under his clothes was exceptionally white, and it was dazzling against the black stone slabs, making him look like a pure white lamb being sacrificed.

The rounded shoulders trembled slightly.

It is so cold here that even the breath turns into white mist and is almost frozen.

Xu Zhiyan felt like he was freezing.

But in return, it probably did help ease the pain, and he could barely feel the ghost's hand on the back of his neck.

Although his eyes were covered by the ribbon, Xu Zhiyan could be sure that the ghost was behind him.

Seeing that the other party just put his hand up and did not take the next step, he waited for a few minutes. Then he made up his mind, propped up his arms, half bent his legs, turned his head to look back, and asked with a curled mouth.

"Bai Jin, what are you waiting for?"

"Can't bear to part with your blood vessels?"

“…”

The ghost who was still hesitating didn't expect his lover to turn around, and was a little stunned.

His eyes carefully traced the delicate features of the young man's face.

Even though his eyes were covered by a silk ribbon, it did not detract from his appearance. His naked upper body trembled in the cold air, which unexpectedly matched the silk ribbon, making him look unexpectedly fragile.

But the ghosts and gods know.

Xu Zhiyan is not fragile.

The exact opposite of this sensitive and fragile word.

His successor was ambitious, greedy, and had an extremely aggressive personality, which formed a sharp contrast with his beautiful appearance.

Anyone who wants to gain something from this perfect body will pay double the price... A certain slice of Him has already taken action and paid the price for it.

“It’s going to hurt.”

The ghost replied softly, his fingertips rubbing the soft flesh at the back of the young man's neck.

Yes, it hurts so much.

The frail human body had to bear a huge amount of energy, and although it brought many benefits, He still felt a little reluctant before taking action.

The air seemed to freeze.

Xu Zhiyan almost laughed out loud.

"I am indeed afraid of pain, but compared to the pain, I am more afraid of not being strong enough."

Without strength, one is weak.

The weak will be bullied by others, like a fish on a chopping board, anyone can cut it with a knife.

"I don't know if you've ever been weak, but being stepped on and stripped of your dignity is not a wonderful experience. If you're not strong enough, you may not even be qualified to be a human being."

After saying that, Xu Zhiyan turned his head and forced himself to stretch his neck in the cold temperature.

"You shouldn't be worrying about whether I can endure the pain now. You should be worrying about whether I can become stronger after the blood vessels are implanted."

His voice was full of arrogance, mixed with a hint of impatience.

Hearing the young man's urging, the ghost couldn't help but breathe more rapidly.

He felt that he really loved Xu Zhiyan, the man in front of him, who was shivering with cold but still full of energy.

The young man on the circular altar has a weak posture but strong words, which is full of contradictory beauty.

The ghosts and gods no longer hesitate.

He leaned down and gently kissed the skin on the back of his neck.

Following the traces of licking, a finger-long wound appeared there.

Xu Zhiyan was shocked.

The slight stinging of the wound was one thing, but what shocked him was the strange feeling of his soul being opened.

Before he could think about it in detail, intense pain came.

It spreads from the back of the neck, then to the back, arms...

The low temperature did numb some of the pain, but it didn't seem to be of much use. The moment the blood vessels that didn't belong to him were implanted, he was instantly enveloped by a numbing pain.

The pain made the young man drenched in cold sweat and he arched his body, his fingers tightly grasping the raised part of the stone floor beneath him.

Until Bai Jin's palm gently touched his back.

The violent blood vessels were soothed by their master and became a little docile.

Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but want to move back a little, closer to the ghost, but the pain just now almost drained his strength.

As time went on, his tolerance for the pain from the vascular implants seemed to increase.

Feeling the ghost's hand against his lower back, Xu Zhiyan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a trembling hand, and spoke weakly while biting his back teeth.

"Bai Jin... I hope this enhancement will satisfy us."

He emphasized the word 'we'.

Reminding Bai Jin that everything he was enduring now was for the two of them.

The ghost's cold palm stroked the young man's smooth back. After hearing these words, he was a little stunned.

Can you still speak at this time?

It seems that Xu Zhiyan's willpower is indeed much stronger than he thought.

"I'll satisfy you."

He answered in a low voice.

If Xu Zhiyan could turn his head now, perhaps he would see a different ghost.

There is no ground in the center of the endless void.

A black stone altar hangs in the middle, with white flames swaying around it.

The huge body wrapped in countless chains was leaning against the altar. The talismans that covered the eyes of ghosts and gods had long been burned to ashes. The black and gold scales were flickering in the firelight, the horns were curled, and countless shadows were lurking around.

His body was no longer similar to that of a human as before, but instead was closer to some kind of monster, emanating power from head to toe and carrying a bit of supreme divinity.

However, the young man on the black stone altar in front of Him looked rather petite.

After the blood vessels in the entire back were implanted, the ghost leaned over and hugged the young man on the altar from behind, and the sound of sighs echoed in the void.

“This is just the beginning.”

The more sensitive the area, the more painful it will be when implanted.

Xu Zhiyan was blindfolded with a black silk ribbon and had not yet realized what would happen next.

The severe pain spread from the back to the front along with the ghost's palm.

In just a few seconds, the pain from his collarbone almost made him cry.

In a daze, Xu Zhiyan felt himself being entangled by a dark shadow and turned around to face the ghosts.

After the black shadow turned the man around as its master requested, it did not leave. Instead, it wrapped itself around the young man's waist and unbuckled his belt.

“Click—”

The pain made Xu Zhiyan unable to think, and he couldn't even open his mouth to curse.

White flames flickered in the void.

Soon, tears soaked the black ribbon...

…

Xu Zhiyan had a dream.

In his dream, he died and went to Yama Palace. The King of Hell met him and said that he did not make enough money in his life, so he was punished to work as a salesperson in Yama Palace, selling the next life to the dead souls. The next life was 300,000 yuan for being a cat, 200,000 yuan for being a dog, and free for being a human...

Free? Wait!

Free can't be free!

He was awakened by the word "free".

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on the bed in the bedroom of the safe house, with the familiar ceiling in front of me.

I supported my body and tried to sit up, but halfway through, I felt extremely sore all over, and an inexplicable pain spread throughout my limbs.

"hiss--"

He gasped in pain and loosened his arms to try to throw himself back into the bed.

The expected touch did not come, and Xu Zhiyan found himself being helped up.

"who?"

I turned my head with difficulty, and what came into view was the indifferent expression on the ghost's face.

In an instant, a large amount of memories flooded into his mind, dispersing the strange dream that he had just had in the Hall of Yama.

Xu Zhiyan froze as he recalled the second half of the vascular implantation process.

At first he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Later, when he got used to the pain, he found that he no longer had any clothes on.

Blood vessels belonging to ghosts and gods spread under his skin.

It was so painful that he cried like a fool for the entire second half of the day, and he couldn't help but keep his physiological tears from falling.

Later he found that getting close to ghosts and gods could relieve the pain, so he burrowed into the ghosts and gods' arms like a piece of taffy.

Well, although it’s not very shameful, it really relieves the pain.

Later, the blood vessels were implanted below him, and he couldn't bear the pain any more, so he bit the ghost's shoulder until it was over...

Damn it! It's so damn embarrassing!

Can he choose to delete this memory?

Is it too late to pretend to have amnesia now?

"Does it still hurt?"

The ghost's question interrupted Xu Zhiyan's thoughts.

"It hurts, but not as much anymore."

Xu Zhiyan answered truthfully, but being supported by the ghost, he couldn't help but lean back.

It feels a bit strange to have the other person's blood vessels growing under your skin, with your own blood flowing in them.

But after relying on ghosts and gods, I felt much more comfortable, and even the pain was reduced a lot.

He couldn't help but ask, "It's so cold there. Would it be better if we implant it in the room? Or wait a few days..."

The ghost shook his head and interrupted him again.

“That was the best time.”

At that time, the blood vessels were probably only half as violent. If it was the last time, even on the Void Altar, the pain would be doubled.

"The low temperature probably offsets one-third of the pain." Even though it offsets the pain, it still hurts.

After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips and did not refute. He just moved back a little bit quietly.

Very good, once people become shameless, they can get more. The part that is close to ghosts and gods does not hurt at all, there is no feeling at all.

The ghosts and gods originally wanted to leave.

The blood vessel implantation was very successful this time. The blood vessel did not resist too much in his weak state and was implanted successfully in one go. The subsequent rejection reaction was also very mild. At least when he was nearby, Xu Zhiyan could still sleep.

I wanted to make sure my loved one was okay and then leave, giving him time to adapt to the new blood vessels.

Before he could explain further, Xu Zhiyan moved closer to him skillfully and almost nestled in his arms.

The overly close contact made the ghosts and gods a little helpless.

He knew that the young man was only leaning over subconsciously to relieve the pain, but he still couldn't suppress the throbbing feeling that was slowly emerging in his heart.

Looking down at the young man's swirling hair, the ghost did not move.

Just like the other party said.

They now have the closest relationship in the world.

Well, although it’s just a community of interests.

…

The first day of vascular implantation.

Xu Zhiyan hesitated and stayed close to Party A for a whole day.

However, even though he was leaning against it, he could clearly feel that he had indeed become stronger after the vascular implantation.

From reaction to perception, he used to be often startled by the monsters passing by.

But today, when a monster was about to come in, he could basically sense in advance that the door was about to open. When someone passed by the door, he could tell which monster it was just by the sound of footsteps.

However, the only drawback is that, just as the ghost said, as long as he is away from Party A, he will feel these blood vessels become restless.

But problems must be overcome.

After all, there is still some time before entering the game.

The sun sets and night falls.

Xu Zhiyan had almost run out of excuses to keep Party A in the room during the day.

From planning the future of the safe house, to naming the monsters, to where to buy a house when you leave the safe house in the future.

He had talked until his lips were dry, and finally there was nothing more to talk about. There was no other reason to keep the person in the room and serve as a free pain pump for him.

But his client is very sensible.

As soon as it was night, he took the initiative to offer help to relieve the pain.

"If you feel pain, it will be better if you come closer to me." The ghost gave advice in a low voice.

He didn't dare to let Xu Zhiyan sleep in his arms tonight, for fear that his lover would notice his dirty thoughts.

Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed.

"Forget it. I have to adapt. I can't always rely on you."

Although he was trying to evade responsibility, what he was actually thinking was that the ghost or god probably said that out of face. He had already kept the other party for a whole day, so there was no point in getting closer... If the ghost or god said it a second time, he would agree!

Seeing the young man refuse, the ghost nodded calmly.

It makes sense.

Xu Zhiyan probably wanted to adapt as quickly as possible.

He had no reason to stay here any longer, so he could only suppress the growing sense of loss in his heart, stand up and leave the room honestly.

“…”

Looking at the figure of the ghost leaving, Xu Zhiyan, who had originally planned to agree if the other party asked it a second time, stood there in a daze.

The door wasn't closed tightly yet and my whole body started to hurt again.

Damn, is this the price of power?

Xu Zhiyan thought angrily, lay down angrily, closed his eyes and felt the restless blood vessels.

Just like the ghost said, he must control these blood vessels and make them work for him before he can use the blood vessels to control monsters in the copy.

The first step is always hard.

But he is Xu Zhiyan.

He will not be afraid of these things.

…

In the lobby of the safe house, Guishen sat silently on his tattered sofa.

The monsters that came and went were very quiet, none of them dared to make a sound.

They keenly sensed that the ghost master was in a bad mood, but no one knew why. Qu Ji had clearly told them before that Mr. Xu's vascular implant was very successful.

You should be happy.

The ghosts and gods were not as bad-tempered as the monsters thought.

But today's whole day of conversation made him feel as if he had an illusion that he and Xu Zhiyan were already together, planning everything beautiful.

Now I'm suddenly brought back to reality.

A beautiful dream is just a beautiful dream after all.

He sighed slowly and calmed himself down.

The recovery of the missing strength would have to wait until Xu Zhiyan entered the copy, otherwise the blood vessels would also be repaired and the pain would probably be even stronger.

Just as the ghost was daydreaming, a sound of messy footsteps came from the stairs.

The barefoot young man grabbed a pillow and ran down from upstairs.

The ghosts and gods looked at the young man in astonishment as he threw the pillow into his arms, and then he rushed into his arms like he did at the black stone altar, looking a little dazed.

"Mr. Party A, since we haven't received any notifications for new dungeon logins yet, I think I need you to act as a pain pump for the time being. Of course, I won't treat you unfairly, and I will work hard on the next dungeon."

After expressing his opinion, Xu Zhiyan relied on his thick skin to start using Guishen, a slightly expensive pain relief product, again.

"I trust you don't mind, do you, Mr. A?"

It hurts so much, I can’t sleep!

After a while, Xu Zhiyan felt the ghost's arms around him, and the area between them became larger.

"No problem."

The ghost's smiling voice came from above.

After a while, the sound of a young man's regular breathing could be heard in the hall.

Now, all the monsters, under the fierce gaze of the ghosts, dared not even take a step forward, for fear of waking up the sleeping young man.

The charcoal was burning and crackling.

The safe house system received new copy information.

But it dare not make a sound now, otherwise its CPU might be crushed by the happy ghosts and gods.
