Chapter 337 Absolute Imprisonment (1) - Item Destroyed

With each step Si Zhong took forward, Ning Shu retreated a step, until he was cornered in the living room.

With her back pressed against the wall and no way forward, Ning Shu glanced to the left and right, pondering which way she would have a better chance of breaking through.

Si Zhong didn't miss her little trick and sneered, "Don't you have memories? You should know you can't escape, so why provoke me?"

...That's right, Ning Shu knew she couldn't escape.

But humans have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and for a moment just now, my body subconsciously wanted to do something.

Now that I know that nothing I do will make a difference, I really shouldn't have angered him.

Seeing that she had stopped her fidgeting, Si Zhong knew she had taken his words to heart and began to question her: "Why did you lie to me?"

Ning Shu's mouth was dry, and he slowly gave a reason: "You...you want to kill me."

Si Zhong found it ridiculous: "Didn't you kill me first? Besides, didn't you know that players could resurrect? What loss did it cause you?"

He was very close, one hand braced against the wall, the other gripping her chin:

"Besides, wasn't the reason I tried to kill you last time because you wanted to poison me? What, is it that only officials are allowed to set fires while commoners are forbidden to light lamps?"

Ning Shu swallowed hard, unsure how to explain, saying that she wanted to leave the game and knew he didn't want to leave, which was why she did this.

I feel that giving such a reason is more serious than being afraid that he will kill me.

Si Zhong's expression suddenly darkened:

"Let me tell you for you. You lied to me because you still like Cheng Chuan, and you resent me for killing him."

You invited me to join you, perhaps you're planning something. What is it?

Do you want me to disappear from your world completely? Or is there another plan?

In short, it's not going to be a good thing, am I right?

You're absolutely right! How could you guess so accurately?! You're a god!

Ning Shu inwardly groaned; being targeted by such a clever person was truly a hellish experience.

You're so dense! Think of something quick! It's a matter of life and death! Think of something now!

Si Zhong chuckled softly: "Looks like I was right. Come on, tell me, what are you planning, hmm?"

Ning Shu went all out: "No! I just didn't want you to kill Cheng Chuan again. I lied to you because I just wanted to be your friend and protect Cheng Chuan!"

Si Zhong's smile vanished. He had considered this possibility before, but hearing it confirmed by Ning Shu made him very unhappy.

Cheng Chuan, it's Cheng Chuan again. Why is he so important? Is it just because they met first?

He would rather she say she wanted to kill him than hear her say she liked someone else!

Ning Shu was still struggling. She pulled out a card from her spatial storage, an item that allowed players to escape instantly.

The man immediately noticed her subtle movements, pulled out her hidden hand, and snatched the prop from her hand.

"You're really naughty."

Si Zhong sneered, took two steps back, and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, fine, since that's how it is, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, he took out an item from his spatial storage, a special item he used to spend money on in-game purchases.

Si Zhong held the device, had it record his fingerprints, and said, "Open!"

Ning Shu was confused. She knew he probably wanted to use a prop against her, but she didn't know what awaited her.

A prop flashed with a faint light, and Ning Shu, through his glasses, saw that the score above his head had changed from 7 digits to 6 digits, leaving him with countless question marks in his mind.

What did he do? Why did his points suddenly drop by more than 300,000?

Is this the price for using this item? Are there really items like this?

Still completely bewildered, Ning Shu's vision went black and then brightened again as she heard the system's notification sound.

Welcome to the "Dreamy Romance" non-fixed instance.

[Level Completion Mission: Have a proper romantic relationship with the designated person.]

[Customs clearance time: 30 days]

[Initial supplies: None.]

We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!

Before me was a familiar place—Si Zhong's luxurious villa.

Didn't she enter a dungeon? Why is she at Si Zhong's villa?

Si Zhong was still standing in front of her. Their relative positions had not changed, but their location had.

Ning Shu asked incredulously, "You brought me into the dungeon?"

Si Zhong smiled: "Yes, for the next 30 days, you will be here with me."

Ning Shu looked around: "Where is everyone else?"

Wen Fei and the others used props to bind themselves and Si Zhong together. They should be there when she enters the instance.

Si Zhong knew what she was asking, and with a look of amusement, said, "I want to have a romantic date with you here. Why let them in? They're such a spoilsport."

These words enlightened Ning Shu. Since he could bring her into the instance, he must have a way to untie himself from Wen Fei and the others.

The 300,000 points that just disappeared...

She asked in surprise, "That item you just used cost over 300,000 points? Or does this entire dungeon require that many points?"

Si Zhong was taken aback, looked her up and down, and quickly understood.

I approached her again and reached out to hook the glasses off her nose.

"I knew it! You were wearing glasses all of a sudden. Turns out it was a prop."

This thing probably revealed a lot of information about him, which is why she had so many opportunities to avoid him.

Ning Shu realized that she had made another mistake. It would be difficult for a normal person not to ask for an explanation after discovering this problem.

Si Zhong's reaction confirmed her guess and also proved that he had indeed untied himself and the others.

“But you won’t have this kind of opportunity again in the future.” With that, Si Zhong crushed his glasses with one hand.

"Our private world for two has begun!"

The last three words were deep and alluring, perfectly capturing the essence of a siren.

After saying that, Si Zhong threw the remains in his hand to the ground and grabbed Ning Shu's wrist: "Come on, let's have a good talk first."

He hadn't touched her in so long that his gentlemanly demeanor was shattered, and all his previous concerns were thrown to the back of his mind.

There was only one thing on his mind—to conquer her!

Ning Shu, who was sweating profusely and pinned down by Si Zhong, felt like she was about to collapse. Si Zhong was acting like a madman, as if he really wanted to make up for the opportunities lost in the past few months.

After what seemed like the umpteenth time, when it finally stopped, Ning Shu felt everything return to calm.

She stared at the ceiling, panting, and began to reflect on herself, wondering where the problem lay and why it had surfaced at this time.

"How did you know?" she asked softly, knowing that Si Zhong would understand what she meant.

Si Zhong, who was resting beside her, understood what she meant:

"You've probably forgotten what you've said to others. Did you think that because of the game's protection mechanism, others couldn't hear what you said?"

Ning Shu was startled and looked at Si Zhong. Yes, that was indeed what she thought.

With so many resurrections and a jumbled memory, she sometimes forgot exactly when she and her teammates had gone through the dungeon together.

Later, thinking about the game's protection mechanisms, she became somewhat reckless.
