Live Escape: Chased by a Neurotic Boss, Crying for Affection

Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...

Chapter 36 A Real Corpse?

Chapter 36 A Real Corpse?

“I suggest that we all stay in the living room tonight and rest together. That way, even if there is a murderer or monster among us, the other party will definitely not dare to make a move.”

Lu Zhuokai then put forward his idea.

Peng Shan, who was already unconvinced by him, questioned him further: "Since you said he's a Blood Moon Monster, why would he be afraid of us humans?"

“The monster disappeared after Zhu Ming died. He must be afraid of crowds, and maybe his strength is insufficient now.” Lu Zhuokai calmly presented the reason he had prepared beforehand.

Peng Shan was the type who was all brains and no brains, and when he heard this, he really couldn't think of a good rebuttal.

Hou Wu was originally in cahoots with Lu Zhuokai, so of course he wouldn't raise any objections.

Yuan Le and Ma Lulu were both players. They knew that there were monsters among the ten people, and it would be difficult for the other party to attack them if they were grouped together, so they had no objections.

“My husband and I agree as well,” Jiang Liyue said with a sweet smile.

[Oh my, my husband, that tone is just too sweet!]

I'm grinning from ear to ear, this couple is just too adorable!

[How come Yueyue always runs into such handsome guys wherever she goes? Can't I have one too?]

[The previous image appears to be the last fantasy before the person became addicted to ghost food.]

No one objected, and it became a settled decision to spend the night in the living room.

Lu Zhuokai took the opportunity to sit next to Ji Lin and comforted her in a soft, greasy voice, while Hou Wu was filming something with a camera.

The others sat in different directions, watching each other warily.

Jiang Liyue and Zhou Yulin were sitting together on a single sofa near the fireplace. Because it was a bit cramped for two people, they were sitting very close together.

Zhou Yulin could feel her soft body pressed against him, a gentle touch coming from half of her body.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, as if he were yearning for something, yet he seemed not to know what he was yearning for.

Jiang Liyue could feel Zhou Yulin's body stiffen.

And the familiar, burning gaze he cast upon me.

This was already the umpteenth time tonight that she felt a sense of familiarity with Zhou Yulin.

She recalled how, when she left the previous instance, Pei Ji stared intently at her, telling her he would find her.

But she was certain that Zhou Yulin had no memory of Pei Ji.

Pei Ji has never been the type to hold back. If she were to actually find her in the dungeon, she would never be as dazed as Zhou Yulin.

Pei Ji had long since learned to benefit from her, unlike Zhou Yulin, who would freeze at the slightest contact.

However, she could sense that something was wrong with Zhou Yulin.

Jiang Liyue whispered in his ear, feigning grievance, "Honey, you used to love holding me, but you've changed. You don't like holding me anymore."

A hint of fierceness flashed across Zhou Yulin's expression, then turned into something complicated. Finally, he moved his arms and gently pulled her onto his lap.

He moved very carefully, as if he were handling a beloved rag doll.

He carefully explained, "I didn't mean I wouldn't hug you." But there was still a hint of unhappiness in his eyes.

Jiang Liyue noticed his expression and thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

The Zhou Yulin she knows now is not the same Zhou Yulin who is now her husband.

Although Jiang Liyue has no memory of her identity, she knows that her husband is an adventurer.

But from the moment he arrived at Blood Moon Villa, his expression remained remarkably calm.

On the contrary, when she mentioned how her ex-husband used to act, he showed a hint of jealousy.

Jiang Liyue had no idea how she and her husband got along, let alone whether or not they hugged. Yet Zhou Yulin didn't raise any questions at all.

On the contrary, they still do it even though they feel unhappy about it.

All signs indicate that Zhou and Lin have been replaced by an unknown entity.

From the moment they stepped into the Blood Moon Villa, his face remained pale, and his eyes looked strange.

That's when he was replaced.

Jiang Liyue was unsure whether the one who replaced Zhou Yulin was the monster mentioned in the dungeon quest, the one between them.

She had too little information at the moment; she wasn't even sure how many monsters were among them, and of course, she didn't want to alert them.

"Honey, am I heavy?" Jiang Liyue asked him with a smile.

Zhou Yulin shook his head: "It's not heavy."

She wasn't heavy at all; she was as light as a cloud.

It was exceptionally soft, and the fragrance emanating from the depths of his soul made him tremble all over.

It was as if she was born to be in his arms.

"Hehehehe." Ma Lulu rested her chin on her hand, her gaze fixed on the single sofa not far away, a smile on her face.

She loves watching handsome men and beautiful women fall in love. Before the bizarre game arrived, her hobby was shipping couples.

Fed up with the reality of beautiful women paired with ugly men, she dedicated herself to finding scenes of handsome men and beautiful women dating.

Unexpectedly, she actually managed to find some celestial beings in the dungeon: a delicate and sweet girl and a silent and aloof noble young man. Oh my god, it's so great to ship handsome men and beautiful women.

She almost forgot she was in a dungeon of a bizarre game and thought she was watching a romance variety show.

The eight people in the living room each had their own thoughts, and as night fell, some of them gradually fell asleep.

At this moment, Lu Zhuokai opened his eyes and gestured to Hou Wu beside him.

Hou Wu received his look, and the two of them carefully left the living room and went to the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, only a pool of blood remained.

Lu Zhuokai frowned: "Where did Zhu Ming go? Wasn't he supposed to be performing properly?"

"I don't know, maybe he felt bored lying down, or he went to the toilet," Hou Wu guessed.

"Never mind him for now, let's discuss our plans for tonight." Lu Zhuokai paused. "How did the footage go today?"

Hou Wu grinned and shook the camera on his chest: "Not bad. Luckily it was foggy outside, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to film well."

“Okay, in the second half of the night, have Zhu Ming pretend to be a monster to scare us. Remind him to specifically scare Ji Lin, and it would be best if she threw herself at me.” As he said this, a lewd smile appeared on Lu Zhuokai’s face.

It made his originally decent-looking face look extremely lewd.

Hou Wu understood what he meant and chuckled, "Brother Lu is so lucky."

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you when I'm done playing with it." Lu Zhuokai said generously, then frowned, "Where did Zhu Ming go? Don't let him interfere with our business."

"Huh, what's that?" Hou Wu waved his flashlight around and suddenly noticed something on the ground not far away.

He shone his flashlight there and walked closer with Lu Zhuokai, only to find that the person lying on the ground was Zhu Ming.

But at this moment, his stomach and chest were torn open, and they were empty; his heart had vanished.

Lu Zhuokai and Hou Wu exchanged a glance, their faces turning pale.
