Chapter 144: The Ghost Wife of Infinite Player
Lin Zhi looked into Xie Qing's eyes and replied, "You are sleeping soundly."
【01, check Xie Qing’s location. 】
Lin Zhi woke up 01 in his mind and asked it to look at Xie Qing's coordinates.
01Somewhat confused: [It’s right in front of me. 】
Xie Qing is clearly right in front of the host, why does it need to see him?
01 was a beat slower and asked nervously: [What’s wrong, host? Is there something wrong with him? 】
01 I didn’t notice anything unusual about the mission object in front of me. It was no different from before.
Lin Zhi didn't answer immediately, frowning slightly in his heart.
Right here?
He glanced around Xie Qing and found nothing unusual.
He walked forward. Xie Qing noticed that he wanted to enter the house, so he moved aside to let him in and closed the door.
The bed was in a mess, piled up on one side, with traces of yesterday on it.
When Xie Qing saw Lin Zhi was about to sit on the chair, he immediately stopped him.
"etc."
Xie Qing quickly took out a wet tissue and wiped the chair, then used the tissue to wipe away the wetness.
"You got a little dirty last night when I was holding you. Now you can sit."
Xie Qing threw the tissue into a nearby trash can and smiled brightly at Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi: [01, look at Xie Qing’s position again. 】
01 answered immediately: [The coordinates change as the character moves. It’s right here. 】
01Looking at the task object in front of him who showed no abnormalities, he felt a little frightened by Lin Zhi’s reaction.
Lin Zhi pursed her lips slightly and looked at Xie Qing thoughtfully.
"What's wrong, wife? Aren't you happy?"
Xie Qing walked closer and looked at Lin Zhi with concern.
He looked a little annoyed: "Did I pester you too much yesterday?"
"Eat some candy first to sweeten your mouth."
Xie Qing opened his palm, and a candy appeared out of thin air. It was the item he bought from the points mall.
Lin Zhi did not take it. He sat upright in the chair, and his eyes, which were always gentle and innocent, now seemed a little cold, even inhumanly sharp.
Xie Qing calmly peeled the candy, and placed it on Lin Zhi's lips as before, coaxing her, "If you are unhappy, just punish me like you did yesterday, don't get yourself upset."
The sudden pain made the blood color on Xie Qing's face fade a little. The curtains in the room were not opened, and the room seemed a little dark. He lowered his head slightly, and the shadow covered his eyes, leaving only his slightly upturned lips exposed.
Lin Zhi opened her lips slightly and spit out the candy.
"Where is Xie Qing?"
Xie Qing didn't catch the fallen candy. He watched the orange candy ball roll to the ground, and then he picked up the candy on the ground while enduring the pain.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? I'm right here."
His expression was full of confusion, and his phoenix eyes were filled with shock and astonishment.
Lin Zhi was too lazy to talk nonsense. Grayish-white mist overflowed from his fingertips and wrapped around the young man's neck.
"Where is he?"
Lin Zhi's attitude was relatively calm because he knew that Xie Qing was not in danger yet. Blood Contract did not give any warning, and neither did 01.
When this person opened the door, Lin Zhi was sure that he was not Xie Qing.
There is no strict logical reasoning, just intuition.
If it doesn’t feel right, then it’s not right.
The familiar appearance gives him a somewhat strange soul.
He had only been away from Xie Qing for less than ten minutes when something unexpected happened.
Xie Qing's location is right here. Could it be that there is another space here that he just can't see?
Invisible restraints were strangling the young man's neck, and his eyes were red with grievance.
He uttered the words with difficulty and incoherently.
"Wife, you really make me sad. I'm right here, and you actually thought I was someone else."
He was so tortured by the pain that he could no longer stand and fell to his knees, still holding the orange-flavored candy he had picked up.
Being able to behave like this even when facing death is indeed something Xie Qing could do.
Lin Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, and the mist dissipated, allowing the young man to take a breath.
01 was a little confused, and said tremblingly: [Host, he really looks like the target of the mission. 】
He has Xie Qing's memories and can use Xie Qing's points. 01 doesn't understand why the host suddenly becomes suspicious.
Lin Zhi quickly sorted out the information. This copy was very strange. It was different from what he had encountered and known before. He would definitely be able to find the answer by analyzing the mechanism.
Since the danger is not outside, then it is... inside.
Lin Zhi stood up and opened the curtains.
The morning sunlight shone in through the window, lengthening the young man's shadow on the ground.
He wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead caused by the pain, and nonchalantly put the candy that Lin Zhi had spit out and fell on the ground into his mouth.
The tip of the tongue fiddles with the sugar ball and rolls it in the mouth.
Lin Zhi leaned over, and before she touched the shadow on the ground, she was held by the young man's hand.
"The sun is too strong. Honey, you will feel uncomfortable if you are exposed to the sun. You should draw the curtains."
The young man stood up and ate the candy with a slurred sound.
"You are his shadow."
Lin Zhi gently pushed his hand away and gave a firm answer.
The young man's eyes curved, and he said briskly, "I am Xie Qing."
"Wife, you can't help me this time. You don't have a shadow, so you can't go to the Shadow World. It's the same for me. I am also him. I can do everything he can do. I like you more than he does."
The young man pressed his cheek against Lin Zhi's palm and rubbed it gently.
"It's okay if you want to kill me. After all, our lives are in my wife's hands. But if I die, he will have no chance to come back."
In the sunlight, the shadow swayed slightly.
"Wife, Shadow also said that I was right," the young man said with a smile, and continued to act coquettishly, "Wife, I'm hungry, let's go have breakfast."
Lin Zhi pulled his hand back, and the gray-white mist rushed into the ground, but it hit nothing and could only sink to the third floor.
Lin Zhi looked at the shadow behind him. The human body he was using now could leave a shadow, but he was essentially a ghost, so this shadow was just a disguise and would not give rise to consciousness.
Even so, Lin Zhi still tried to sneak into his own shadow, but still failed.
He couldn't capture that different space and couldn't find the entrance.
"Honey, I won't lie to you. You really can't go," the young man stood up from the ground and said in distress, "Actually, I'm also very conflicted. I hope he comes back, but I don't want him to come back, because if he comes back, the points I earn this time will be enough to buy a miniskirt. Honey, you will look really good in it."
Lin Zhi paused, narrowed her eyes and said, "Mini skirt?"
The young man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said in a tone of accusing the unscrupulous businessman: "Three hundred points for one! How shameless!"
Lin Zhi felt that Xie Qing and his shadow, who had this idea, were quite heartless.
The shadow swayed even more violently, stretching itself into a long and thin shape, and crawling forward, as if it wanted to leave its main body and crawl to Lin Zhi's feet.
When the shadow was about to touch Lin Zhi, the young man took a few steps back and watched the shadow and Lin Zhi pull away from each other.
He lowered his head and said with a smile: "Come on."
01: […If it weren’t for your keen sense, I would find it hard to believe that this is not me. 】
Lin Zhi pinched her brows and walked out.
The young man followed him like a little tail, and said with some sadness: "Wife, don't you care about us? You don't seem to be very worried about us."
"If he is really that fragile, then I can look for the next candidate in advance."
Lin Zhi was not really worried about Xie Qing's safety. He believed that Xie Qing was capable and would not die so easily unless he committed suicide.
It seems that this game is more complicated than he thought, and it is not just made up of obsession. It's just right, he can ask more questions.
Since Xie Qing can see and hear, he might as well take advantage of this opportunity.
The look in his eyes as he stood there was dark, and he sighed softly and said, "Wife, you are so heartless."
Lin Zhi did not respond to this, but said: "Didn't you say you were hungry?"
The young man looked up and immediately followed.
Lin Zhi didn't walk fast and avoided the young man who wanted to hold his hand. With mist filling his fingertips, he controlled Xie Qing's body and made him go towards the cabin on the first floor.
He walked in Xie Qing's shadow, slowly and leisurely.
The fish tank on the second floor looks like a compressed plane from the outside world, like a flat shadow, with six fish swimming quietly in it, neither too many nor too few.
The water circulates up and down continuously.
Xie Qing clenched his fists, wishing he could smash the fish tank in front of him, but reason made him hold back.
In the dark world, everything seemed to be covered with a layer of oil and was distorted.
He could feel Lin Zhi right above him, but he couldn't find a way out.
Ten minutes ago, he felt a sense of intrusion and opened his eyes.
A black shadow with no visible facial features stood in front of him. The black substance under his feet kept pouring into his body. Xie Qing subconsciously used his talent, but saw a ball of light exactly the same as his appeared in the black shadow's hand.
The world suddenly turned upside down, and he seemed to be fixed to the ground and saw his own face.
The face that belonged to him revealed an expression that was not under his control and displayed emotions that did not belong to him.
"This time, it's your turn to be the shadow."
He waved his hand and extinguished the ball of light.
Without light, there is no shadow.
Xie Qing felt that he was falling, like a fish sinking into a pond. When he opened his eyes, he could not find where he was because it was pitch black around him and he had no direction.
Fortunately, he could still use his talent here. Xie Qing used light to illuminate the surroundings and found that he was still in Lin Zhi's room, but everything here was made of black and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
Xie Qing knew that this was the purpose of escaping from the dungeon this time. He should find the exit connecting to reality, but he couldn't find it at all.
When he saw the light in front of him, he saw Lin Zhi and his own back, and heard "his own" voice.
"Wife, why didn't you wake me up?"
Fuck you! That's my wife!
Xie Qing wanted to crawl back and strangle himself to death right now, but he couldn't even find the way back. He could only chase the light forward while gritting his teeth and feeling suffocated.
Lin Zhi didn't recognize that it wasn't him, and Xie Qing felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that it was impossible for Lin Zhi to know at a glance that the person in his body was not him.
When he returns, he will have to step on his shadow a few more times to vent his anger.
However, he didn't expect that Lin Zhi actually recognized that it was not him.
Xie Qing covered his chest and dodged the attack from an unknown shadow.
The heart beats so fast that it is hard to tell whether it is due to strenuous exercise or emotional fluctuations, but Xie Qing can tell the difference.
While dodging the monster's pursuit, he couldn't control his laughter, and as he laughed, tears began to flow.
Wife, my heart hurts because of you.
