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 37 But he called me wife!

Chapter 37 But he called me wife!

When Lu Zhuokai and Hou Wu secretly got up at night, the live broadcast camera was pointed at them.

So when they mentioned Zhu Ming, the comments section was filled with surprise.

Wow, it was all an act? These two are such good actors!

[I was wondering why people were dying so quickly in the C-rank dungeon, and there was absolutely no warning in the live stream.]

Wait a minute, I remember Yueyue secretly looked at Zhu Ming's body from behind and then smiled. Did she already know?

[Given the current atmosphere, I have a feeling things are going to get messed up...]

The live chat was flooded with comments as the two discussed, and people got excited when the camera finally focused on the dark figure on the ground.

Here it comes, this is the official start!

Lu Zhuokai and Hou Wu were both pale-faced, and they swallowed hard as they pointed their flashlights at Zhu Ming's empty chest.

Lu Zhuokai's expression was horrified: "What do we do? Turn off the signal jammer and wake them all up so we can get out of here right now!"

There was no signal inside Blood Moon Villa because Lu Zhuokai and his team had come beforehand to install a signal jammer.

This way, it would be perfectly logical to keep everyone at Blood Moon Villa to watch them put on this show.

Who would have thought such an accident would happen at night?

Although Lu Zhuokai enjoys adventure, he is actually afraid of death. It's just that after many adventures, he feels that they are all lies.

This time, when he actually saw a dead person, he immediately chickened out.

"Brother Kai, this is actually a good thing." Hou Wu swallowed hard, took the camera off his body and turned it on. "If Zhu Ming is really dead, our video will be more authentic."

"When we release the film, we'll definitely become even more popular, maybe even go viral!"

Lu Zhuokai's instinctive reaction was to glare at Hou Wu: "You still want to be famous at a time like this? What if there really is a monster?"

"Brother Kai, fortune favors the bold," Hou Wu said, getting more and more excited. "And even if there really are monsters, so what? Haven't so many people seen the Blood Moon Monster before and escaped?"

Hou Wu, with a faint smile of excitement on his face, whispered, "Let's just film for one night and leave tomorrow. It'll definitely be fine."

Lu Zhuokai was somewhat persuaded by Hou Wu, but he was still a little worried: "I heard that a monster is lurking among us. Who knows who that monster is? What if something really happens?"

“We two definitely aren’t. As long as we stay together and are wary of others, we should be safe.” Hou Wu was completely absorbed in his fantasy of becoming an internet sensation after filming the Blood Moon Monster.

Therefore, he spoke with particular seriousness when he encouraged Lu Zhuokai.

Lu Zhuokai himself was an adventurer, and after being persuaded by Hou Wu, his expression subtly showed a hint of eagerness.

He urged Hou Wu, "Then hurry up and start filming now!"

Hou Wu held up the camera, while Lu Zhuokai looked down at Zhu Ming's body.

His chest felt empty, as if his internal organs had been cruelly torn apart by something.

Compared to the special effects makeup that was deliberately applied before, the flesh that was actually torn apart by the monster was far more terrifying.

Bloody bits of flesh lay on the ground, the stench of blood filling the air. Zhu Ming's eyes were wide open, as if he had witnessed something terrifying before he died.

"It's a bit disgusting." Lu Zhuokai didn't dare to look too much, but he had to cooperate with Hou Wu to film the scene of encountering a corpse and then examining it.

Then they "panicked" and ran to wake up everyone in the living room.

"Something's happened!"

Jiang Liyue opened her eyes instantly upon hearing the sound.

Logically, she should be constantly on guard inside the instance.

But just now, as night fell, she seemed to fall asleep easily in Zhou Yulin's arms.

Not only her, but everyone else was like that.

"What's going on?" Peng Shan stood up from the sofa, looking annoyed.

"Zhu Ming's body looks like it's been eaten by a monster." Lu Zhuokai briefly described what he had just seen, while Hou Wu dutifully filmed everything from behind.

Because he actually saw Zhu Ming's corpse, his acting this time was much more realistic.

Unfortunately, there was still an element of acting involved.

Jiang Liyue sat on Zhou Yulin's lap, resting her chin on his shoulder and looking in Lu Zhuokai's direction.

Lu Zhuokai's pale face under the flashlight beam seemed genuine, but the faint excitement in his eyes was also real.

It's highly likely that something really happened to Zhu Ming, but he and Hou Wu have a new plan.

Before Jiang Liyue could analyze the situation further, Zhou Yulin cupped her face in one hand and gently pulled her head into his arms.

His tone was serious, and his deep voice whispered two words in her ear: "Sleep."

In this situation, he actually let her go to sleep.

Jiang Liyue really wanted to complain: if you're going to act, can't you at least try to make it more realistic?

What normal human being would feel no curiosity after hearing about monsters, but instead want to fall asleep?

Moreover, Zhou Yulin originally came for this villa with the monster.

This unknown entity possessing her new husband's body, isn't its acting a little half-hearted...?

Jiang Liyue leaned over and continued listening to their conversation.

"What do you mean? You mean that while we were sleeping, a monster took the opportunity to eat Zhu Ming's corpse?" Peng Shan couldn't believe it.

After all, he insisted that there were no monsters in the Blood Moon Villa and that one of them was the one who killed Zhu Ming.

However, no murderer would risk digging out Zhu Ming's internal organs again.

"If you don't believe us, you can come with us and see for yourself." Lu Zhuokai was also a little annoyed.

He was used to being fawned over, and he had long been dissatisfied with Peng Shan, who kept refuting him today.

"Why did you get up and see Zhu Ming's body in the middle of the night?" Yuan Le asked at this moment.

Lu Zhuokai was momentarily speechless when asked the question, but he quickly came up with a reason and said confidently, "With so many things happening, isn't it normal for me to have trouble sleeping? Besides, I also want to shoot more footage."

Peng Shan seized on his slip-up: "Didn't you tell us it was best not to leave the living room, but you went to look at the corpse yourself? I think you're pretty suspicious!"

The conversation between the group grew increasingly heated, and Jiang Liyue, looking rather bored, rested her chin on Zhou Yulin's shoulder.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ji Lin sitting on the side of the sofa, expressionless.

She seemed to speak very little from the beginning and didn't show much expression.

Jiang Liyue had a gut feeling that a cold beauty like Ji Lin wouldn't be interested in a greasy man like Lu Zhuokai, but sometimes she would deliberately try to please him.

Even if Ji Lin isn't a player, she's probably an NPC with a certain status.

Jiang Liyue analyzed it in her heart.

The next moment, Zhou Yulin gently pressed her head into his arms again, and he repeated, "Sleep."

He paused, then softened his voice: "Wife..."

Jiang Liyue's ears felt slightly hot; she didn't want to obediently listen.

But he calls her his wife!

The viscous, dark, unknown monster that possesses her husband's body will call her "wife" in a pleading, comforting tone.

It's not unreasonable for her to be a little tempted, is it?
