Chapter 145: The Ghost Wife of Infinite Player
The fourth floor of the ship.
Meng Ling pushed open the door of the room with heavy steps, took off her glasses, wiped the fog off the lenses with cloth, and sat on the chair in the room.
She drew back the curtains and opened the windows to let in the sunlight and sea breeze.
She materialized the notebook and pen she had bought, and began writing and drawing on the paper, thinking about the clues for this time.
Nothing was found, she had never encountered such a situation before.
Meng Ling pinched her nose and looked up at the ceiling to clear her mind.
Her gaze gradually fixed on the wall and her body stiffened slightly.
According to the direction of the light, her shadow was reflected here, but there was nothing here.
Meng Ling lowered her head, her eyes filled with fear behind the lenses.
Her shadow was climbing up along her feet.
There was no time to call for help, Meng Ling could no longer speak, and saw her own face.
After falling, she saw a nerve-wracking scene before she could even stand still.
In the twisted and changing darkness, a young man in a sweatshirt jacket was smiling with tears in his eyes, bending down in an exaggerated arc. Under his feet was the blurry corpse of a monster. The little light around him made the atmosphere even more eerie.
The feeling was hard to describe in words. Meng Ling's scalp tingled and she subconsciously felt that the young man in front of her was the most terrifying and insane existence in this shadow world.
When their eyes met, Meng Ling wanted to run away, but when she saw the young man's face clearly, she held back.
"Hey, you're here too."
Xie Qing couldn't hide the smile on his face and stretched out his hand to greet his teammates.
Meng Ling subconsciously took a step back. Beads of sweat appeared on the bridge of her nose, causing her glasses to slide down slightly. She straightened her glasses somewhat awkwardly, told herself in her heart that this was a teammate, and nodded stiffly.
She recalled the scene when she passed by Xie Qing and Lin Zhi when she went upstairs, and her heart went cold.
"We arrived at a very short interval, and the shadows were completely defenseless. The game will not let us be wiped out without announcing the rules. I guess as long as we find the exit, we can return to reality. The exit will move and will not stay in one place, but fortunately it is somewhere in this ship."
Xie Qing didn't care about his teammates' attitudes at all and shared his findings.
The clearer the shadow, the brighter the light at the exit will be, and at the same time, the more monsters will appear to hinder them.
"If we can't get back from here before the tourists get off the boat, we probably won't be able to go back, so we have to do it as soon as possible. What's your talent? So we can cooperate with each other."
Xie Qing made it very clear that he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
He couldn't stand the thought of Shadow pressing against his body, acting coquettishly with his wife.
Meng Ling told the truth and she also hoped to escape from danger as soon as possible.
If she really had to be a shadow forever, she would rather disappear.
Xie Qing listened to the conversation above and asked Meng Ling out of the blue, "Can you hear my body talking above?"
Meng Ling was stunned for a moment and shook her head. She heard nothing.
Xie Qing felt slightly relieved. If anyone could hear it, Lin Zhi's identity would be in danger of being exposed.
Meng Ling suddenly understood Xie Qing's state when she first arrived. After all, Lin Zhi didn't come, which meant that the person next to the shadow Xie Qing was the real Lin Zhi.
It's normal to go crazy when you see your shadow replace you and possess your lover.
There is no one who is not crazy, they are just pretending to be crazy.
Xie Qing glanced upwards, concentrating on finding an exit.
He extinguished the light in his hand. In the dark hours, the light source was too obvious and could easily attract monsters. In addition, the light he could consume was limited and could not be wasted endlessly.
I have to become stronger, otherwise my wife will look for a new partner.
On the first floor of the cabin, Lin Zhi controlled Xie Qing's body and made him sit by the window. He sat opposite the young man and loosened his control over his body.
The young man looked at his shadow, which was extremely obvious due to the bright sunlight, and sighed softly. He propped up his cheek and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are so nice to him, but I am also him. Can you be nicer to me too?"
He didn't understand. He was also Xie Qing, so why did Lin Zhi make such a clear distinction?
Lin Zhi looked at him indifferently, explaining everything silently.
In his opinion, the young man in front of him could not be called a part of Xie Qing. He was just a certain phenomenon that he should not be aware of. In the absence of potential conflicts of interest, Lin Zhi did not like to talk much with people he had no feelings for.
When it comes to feelings, he doesn't like dealing with people who are not quite right. Feelings are something clear and vague. The vagueness lies in the inexplicable attraction and impulse, and the clarity lies in the ability to clarify.
If it is there, it is there; if it is not there, it is not there. You can even use percentage or decimal point to summarize the approximate amount as "a little" or "a lot". It can increase or decrease, it can be filled up instantly or cleared instantly, but you cannot force it.
Lin Zhi can force himself to do many things. For the sake of benefits and to climb up, he can face the malice of others with a smile, but he will never force himself to like anyone.
He has high standards, and his obsession with physical cleanliness has screened out many people for him, so he was in a good mood when he saw Mingyao, a perfect candidate who met his requirements and made him feel something.
From an adult's perspective, Lin Zhi treated Mingyao as a toy from the beginning. This was not some kind of objectification, but his needs were clear.
He doesn't need Mingyao to love him, he just needs to have sex with Mingyao.
His indulgence and liking for Xie Qing, besides just his feelings, was also the result of his previous personality fragments being softened bit by bit with time and love.
So this shadow carrying Xie Qing's body is nothing to Lin Zhi.
He was reluctant to show any kindness, and even his obsessive-compulsive disorder that had not appeared for a long time broke out again.
Even though this is Xie Qing's body, this shadow has never touched anyone else, but he doesn't like him, so he doesn't want to be touched by him.
Lin Zhi was a little dazed. It was obvious that his mental illness was not alleviated by sleeping with a satisfactory virgin. Instead, it became more and more serious and had reached this point.
At the dining table, the young man who was treated differently felt a little sad. He silently went to serve breakfast and turned his grief into appetite.
He felt very disappointed. He had thought of many ways to deal with Lin Zhi, but unfortunately Lin Zhi saw through him at once. Due to his strength and blood contract, he couldn't force anything on Lin Zhi, so he had to be honest.
While drinking hot milk, the young man hoped in his heart that Xie Qing would never get over it, so that even Lin Zhi would not be able to change the result.
"What is the core of this copy?"
Lin Zhi looked at the young man and asked, this copy didn't seem to have a clear core, so how did it maintain its operation?
"Honey, you don't like me but you still want answers from me. Isn't that too cruel? Just coax me. If you are willing to kiss me, I will tell you everything. I won't be as excessive as him and tell you that I will kiss you back when you kiss me."
Shadow looked at Lin Zhi with bright eyes, a pair of beautiful curved phoenix eyes.
In the shadow world, Xie Qing kicked a monster's head while cursing.
Coax your mother, kiss your mother, and step on my fucking foot. I will go back and step on you to death. If it rains, I will hold an umbrella. If it doesn’t rain, I will hold a parasol. I will not turn on the lights in the house, so don’t you fucking think about coming out!
Meng Ling remained silent. She understood Xie Qing's venting. She hated everyone equally at work, and she must hate it even more when her wife was taken away.
"You can choose not to answer."
The scorching sun shone on Lin Zhi's face, making his cold white skin slightly red. He seemed unaware of it and was playing with Xie Qing's coin with his fingers.
This was what he took out from Xie Qing's clothes after he discovered that Xie Qing's core had been replaced.
In fact, the answer is not important to Lin Zhi, he is just a little curious.
After all, the truth doesn't have much impact on him. It is impossible for him and Xie Qing to travel through various copies endlessly. Once the healing is successful, this world will disappear.
Shadow muttered, "Wife, you are so heartless."
He took a bite of the sandwich, swallowed it, and said, "How about this, we can do an equal exchange. I'll answer your question and you'll answer mine."
Lin Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
"Then let me answer your question first. This dungeon doesn't have a clear core, because it's just a story. It says there's a strange ship on the sea where shadows will give birth to consciousness, turning the subject into a shadow. The more widely this story spreads and the more people believe in it, the stronger the ship's power will be, until one day it really appears."
Lin Zhi understood that in addition to personal obsession, collective identity would also give rise to things that did not belong to this world. In a way, this was similar to the belief in deification.
"Then it's my turn to ask questions. Let me think about what I want to ask," the young man thought with his chin propped up. After a moment's silence, he said with great interest, "Which position do you like best, honey?"
Lin Zhi barely thought about this question and answered, "It's all right, as long as it's comfortable."
Lin Zhi doesn't have any preference. For him, as long as he enjoys it, it's enough.
"This is too broad. It's the same whether you answer it or not. How can I choose the one I like best?"
Lin Zhi replied irrelevantly: "You are very kind to ask this question on behalf of Xie Qing."
"I'm not asking on his behalf. If he can't get out, then I'll be by your side. I will definitely do better than him."
"There is no such possibility."
"Do you have that much confidence in him?"
"Not really. If he doesn't come back, I will dig out his heart with my own hands. This heart can only be used by me, besides himself."
Lin Zhi's eyebrows were calm, and her delicate and beautiful face was filled with a deep coldness due to its plainness, revealing her essence as a corpse.
It is hard to tell whether his words are love or cruelty, or whether the evil spirit's love is just so cold.
Just like a flower that relies on flesh and blood to survive, it would rather suck all the nutrients out of the host it is parasitic on than let it go.
Shadow's fingers on the table trembled slightly unconsciously. This was not fear, but some kind of excitement.
He looked at Lin Zhi deeply, his eyebrows and eyes shining brightly as he said, "Wife, I really like your domineering attitude."
He didn't seem to care that Lin Zhi's words indicated that he would only end up disappearing, and the joy in his eyes solidified into reality.
In the world of shadows, Xie Qing took a deep breath.
Meng Ling asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Xie Qing shook his head, feeling dumbfounded. Fortunately, it was dark here and his teammates couldn't see him.
In the bright world, Lin Zhi ignored Shadow's words.
He tossed the coin in his hand and spread out his palm.
Flower side up.
