Chapter 102 Yu X Xu
Xu Weiyi didn't know how long he had been running.
It was as if her brain had been wiped clean of all emotion, her perceptions numb. She was left with only one thought: to successfully leave this place.
The dark corridor seemed to have no end, and the lights flickered like twisted ghosts.
Xu Weiyi stumbled forward along the direction indicated on the map.
The key was located several hundred meters away from the room she had just been in. She used up her last bit of strength to deal with the ghosts along the way and finally got the key.
The bronze key lay quietly in the palm of her hand, with a faint metallic luster, as if symbolizing some kind of hope.
However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a strange noise coming from the door made her heart skip a beat.
More ghosts are chasing us.
Xu Weiyi's eyes sank.
She was now exhausted both mentally and physically, unable to fight against the ghosts. Not to mention the ghosts, even any ordinary person could defeat her.
After all, the design of these three rounds of tests was beyond the capabilities of normal humans. She felt that she and Yu Qian had done a good job, but they could only stop here.
She was unwilling, but powerless.
When the ghost pounced, Xu Weiyi didn't hide anymore, she just closed her eyes. Firstly, she didn't have the energy to fight, and secondly, even if she did, it would be futile.
But the expected pain did not come.
On the contrary, I heard the ghost's screams of pain.
Xu Weiyi was stunned and opened his eyes to look over.
The monster that was showing its fangs and claws just now fell to the ground, rolling over and over, veins on its skin bulging out, and it looked extremely painful.
What is...going on?
She clearly didn't do anything?
Xu Weiyi was very puzzled.
At this moment, a warm touch attracted her attention.
Xu Weiyi lowered his head and paused.
The wedding ring on her left hand was emitting a soft white light, and the warmth spread from the skin on her fingertips to her whole body, making her feel a long-lost sense of security.
Moreover, the ring setting is no longer empty.
A dazzling diamond is embedded in it, shining like a falling star.
The ghost struggled to get closer to her. As if sensing danger, the diamond shone even brighter. Then the sound of bones breaking filled the air, accompanied by the ghost's wailing, which continued incessantly.
It was the ring that did the trick.
Xu Weiyi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
She looked closely at the ring on her hand and soon made a new discovery.
On the inside of the ring, there is Yu Qian’s name.
Tears fell again. Xu Weiyi stood there, slowly put his hands to cover his face, and sobbed silently.
As the MC said, wedding rings are indeed life-saving props, but they come at the cost of sacrificing one partner. Only after one partner dies can the other's ring play its protective role.
But if that's the case, is there really any point in her coming here?
His mind became increasingly confused. Xu Weiyi ignored the ghost's wailing and slowly left the room like a walking corpse.
She followed the instructions on the map and walked towards the door of the haunted house.
The whole process went incredibly smoothly. The road was deserted, with few ghosts or monsters attacking. Occasionally, one or two foolish ones were quickly punished by the ring.
The tightrope on the cliff became as easy as walking on flat ground, which even made her a little uncomfortable.
Dina was waiting for her at the gate of the amusement park and didn't show any surprise at Yu Qian's absence.
She said with a smile, "Congratulations on passing the third round of tests."
Xu Weiyi calmly took out the key and said, "I want to leave here."
"Of course," Dinah said, "this is the qualification for the winner."
She looked the man in front of her up and down, curling her lips, "Did you have fun?"
Xu Weiyi paused and said, "I don't know yet."
Dina raised an eyebrow, "Don't know?"
Xu Weiyi said, "Let's talk about it after we get the reward."
When leaving, Xu Weiyi looked back.
The candy-colored amusement park seemed like a dream, as if every corner held endless surprises. Suddenly, she seemed to see that familiar figure again.
The person waved at her, and her wedding dress sparkled in the sunlight, making her eyes sore.
The surrounding scenery receded like the tide, and Xu Weiyi closed his eyes.
That man was guilty of all kinds of evil, but he was also her salvation.
***
Almost at the same time as she opened her eyes, Yu Qian heard Xu Weiyi's voice.
"You're awake."
The unfamiliar bedroom was small but warmly decorated. Sunlight streamed through the half-closed curtains, illuminating the flowers and plants on the windowsill. The soft bed beneath me felt like a cloud, incredibly comfortable.
Yu Qian suddenly sat up from the bed and stared at the girl sitting beside the bed.
She looked back and forth for a long time before she spoke, "You... escaped?"
Xu Weiyi shrugged and said, "Yeah."
Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but then confusion came to her mind again.
It's no surprise that Xu Weiyi successfully passed the test and returned to the real world. But why did she appear here alive when she died in the castle?
A person who has died twice should not appear in the same frame with Xu Weiyi.
Yu Qian opened her mouth, "Then where is this?"
"A new test," Xu Weiyi said calmly. "It's the end of the world outside, and zombies are everywhere. This time, your mission is to use your true feelings to influence the Zombie King and build a friendship with him to ensure your survival."
Yu Qian:……?
She was stunned. "Is it that outrageous?"
Xu Weiyi stared at her for two seconds and suddenly smiled.
She said, "I lied to you."
Her tone was guilt-free, filled with the joy of a successful prank, and the smile between her eyebrows made her whole person look lively.
Yu Qian's mouth twitched, but she found that she was not angry.
On the contrary, she really liked Xu Weiyi's smile now. If a little prank could make Xu Weiyi so happy, then she was happy to play along.
But on the surface she still pretended to be serious, "Am I not already dead?"
Xu Weiyi curled his lips and said, "I used the reward for clearing the level."
Yu Qian was completely stunned. "You're going to use your reward to revive me?"
Her heart was beating wildly, as if something very important had surfaced, but everything happened so suddenly that her thoughts were in such a mess that she couldn't grasp it.
"Yeah, is that not possible?" Xu Weiyi avoided her gaze as if feeling guilty, and took the file bag on the bedside table. "This isn't our original world either, but our experiences are pretty similar. This is your personal information, take a good look at it."
So the current situation is that she and Xu Weiyi were stuffed into another world and given new identities?
Yu Qian was confused and stayed there for a few seconds before she reached out to take the file bag and looked through its contents.
As Xu Weiyi said, this place is not much different from the original world. She still has a company, considerable assets and a career that is on the rise.
But...it's not exactly the same.
When seeing a certain content, Yu Qian looked up in shock, "It says here that we are a couple in a relationship?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Weiyi was immediately unhappy. "What are you dissatisfied with?"
Yu Qian immediately raised her hands in surrender, "I'm not dissatisfied."
She lowered her head and continued to look through the documents, but she couldn't stop the smile on her lips.
She thought she had fallen in love with Xu Weiyi for a long time.
Otherwise, why did he never think of blaming her when he was humiliated in public and slapped dozens of times; why did he get so angry at her that he vomited blood time and time again, but was still willing to protect her in times of crisis?
It's just that she has never thought about taking a relationship seriously, so she doesn't realize how much she likes him.
People who are in love but don't realize it are stupid, but fortunately there is still time.
Yu Qian quickly flipped through the document and already had an idea of the information about herself.
She raised her head and said, "Xu Weiyi, you didn't even ask for the money for the clearance reward?"
Xu Weiyi was silent for a long time, then suddenly pulled her arm and bit it hard.
The bite was so hard that teeth marks immediately appeared on the fair skin, and the teeth marks were clearly visible.
Yu Qian hissed in pain, but did not dodge.
She was helpless, "What's wrong?"
Xu Weiyi relaxed and glared at her, "Why do you think I went to that damn place?"
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say there was money to be made..."
Having said this, she suddenly realized something and paused.
Yes, at that time, Xu Weiyi worked with Jiang Zhuoyan and Shen Fengni, and his income was already very impressive compared to people of the same age. Furthermore, the company's atmosphere was also very good, and colleagues got along harmoniously, creating a near-perfect working environment.
Although Xu Weiyi loves money, she is not greedy. She is already very happy and rich to live such a life. Why should she risk her life to get the so-called huge reward?
Yu Qian looked at the person in front of her, "What exactly is written on that website?"
"They say that after you clear the level, you can fulfill any wish, including resurrecting the deceased." Xu Weiyi rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "I think you are too wicked. You can get hit by a car just by crossing the road."
The website actually detailed the risks participants would face, stating that one could lose their lives if they weren't careful, but Xu Weiyi didn't think it was necessary to disclose them.
Yu Qian gave her a lot, and she deserves something in return.
Besides, as long as Yu Qian comes back, nothing else matters.
Therefore, Xu's only goal from the very beginning was to resurrect himself.
At least she has some conscience.
"Okay, okay." Although she was scolded again, Yu Qian was in a good mood. "Then you refused to leave me in the haunted house. Wouldn't it be the same if you came out to revive yourself?"
"Are you stupid? You know there's strength in numbers?" Xu Weiyi confidently lectured her. "Although you're nothing, you're still a life. Save it if you can."
Yu Qian had heard so many nice things. Everyone in the business world was a shrewd person, their every word perfectly delivered, impossible to fault.
But the person in front of her, who had clearly tried his best to save her, still refused to let her go. Like a vigilant kitten, ready to wave his claws at her at any moment.
This guy is really stubborn.
But unfortunately, she had no way to deal with her.
Yu Qian sighed, "Do you know that people who are hard-mouthed but soft-hearted often suffer?"
"I don't know," Xu Weiyi said. "I just know I didn't take a large sum of money as a reward. I lost a lot."
Yu Qian looked at her good-temperedly, "So what do you want?"
"You have to work for me for the rest of your life." Xu Weiyi said confidently, "Give me half of your earnings... or even a third. Wait, what are you doing?"
Before she could finish her words, she was pulled into someone's arms.
A warm kiss landed on her ear, causing her skin to tingle and her body to tremble slightly.
"Okay." Xu Weiyi heard the man whisper, "Both me and the money are yours."
