Chapter 28
The sky gradually darkened. Not long after the senior student left with Wilde, Zhu Changan and Shen Liuxue also prepared to leave.
"It can't be helped. Even though this mission went awry, I still have to write the report." Zhu Chang'an's smile was a bit forced. Three thousand words was still too much for him, especially since he had never written one before and had no idea where to start.
"Try to finish it tonight." Shen Liuxue looked at Mo Xuanji: "The teacher said that your situation is special and you can hand it in a few days later, so you just need to rest well these few days, don't worry."
There's no point in being anxious, he can't even write with his two short legs.
After seeing off her friends, Mo Xuanji tucked herself into the soft, fluffy quilt. The little white ball blended perfectly with the standard white hospital blankets, making it hard to tell where Xiaoji was hiding.
Mo Xuanji let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
Although everyone brushed aside the doubts about his demonic body during the day and didn't say much, it didn't mean that Mo Xuanji himself didn't care about it.
Why am I abnormal? There's no one like me. It's like...
The system suddenly interrupted his wandering thoughts: "Why don't you ask me how to transform back into human form?"
Mo Xuanji shook her head: "Now is not the time to change back. I can feel that I am not able to master the ability to transform freely. If I can't change back to my demon body, I won't be able to participate in this case." Yang Qingyan would also be disappointed.
"Too."
The phone beside him suddenly made a crisp sound, and Mo Xuanji was startled. It took him a while to realize that this was the update reminder he had set for the comics.
"The comics have been updated."
Mo Xuanji's phone is a common model on the market. Its power button is on the side and needs to be pressed down to turn on the phone.
The problem was, his demonic form didn't have much strength, and he couldn't even press it. After trying for the nth time without success, Mo Xuanji's eyes turned sharp, and he looked at the phone with murderous intent.
A gust of wind swept the phone up into the air.
The system was horrified: "Wait, don't..."
Just when it thought the phone was going to be splattered with blood, Mo Xuanji used Fengli to control the phone and slowly flew to the side of the table, using the shape of the table corner to poke the power button.
"……impulse……"
"Sure enough, it's much easier to control superpowers in a demon body than in a human body. Hmm? Did you just say that?"
The system hesitated to speak: "Nothing." It seems that it still underestimated the stability of this child.
Mo Xuanji expertly entered the password to unlock the computer and opened the comic book page. On a hospital bed, a white ball the size of a palm stood before a larger-than-life "brick mover," seriously swiping the screen with its tiny paw, surfing the internet. The scene was slightly comical, and the system couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Mo Xuanji clicked on the page he had been reading before and saw the message he had followed the trend and posted, [No way, no way, there can't be anyone who doesn't know that they are a demon], and after a moment of silence, he long-pressed and swiped right to delete it with lightning speed, and then turned on the barrage mode as if nothing had happened.
[Ohhh, it’s updated! It’s not easy, this time it’s updated early! Kudos to Liuhe]
Mo Xuanji calculated and found that only four days had passed since the day he went on the mission.
[I was so scared! The plot of the previous episode got stuck here. I thought Xuanji’s wife couldn’t escape. Fortunately, she’s fine.]
[Oh my god, how come there is such a big spider! ]
[This old thief shouldn't show off his skills like this, all he does is some hellish stuff! ]
【Swearing.jpg】
Mo Xuanji couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the incredibly lifelike Spider-Man on the screen. No wonder netizens were scolding him; the painting was so realistic, Mo Xuanji thought Spider-Man had resurrected and was chasing him.
This comic seemed to be accessible only to ordinary people, and he hadn't seen any comments from anyone suspected of having superpowers or being a demon. What was Liuhe trying to do by doing this?
With such doubts, Mo Xuanji continued reading.
It had to be said that Liuhe's control of camera and rhythm was truly exceptional. The battle sequence, which seemed unskillful to Mo Xuanji, was rendered with such passion by Liuhe that even he himself felt inexplicably ignited watching it.
【In one word, too cool! 】
The three-person team works very well together.
[This picture is absolutely beautiful! You are indeed my cool brother!]
[I am dying of laughter. I came here after eating a full meal.]
On the page where Spider Brother was defeated, there was laughter and joy in the comments, but the style of the painting suddenly changed on the next page.
The comic is mainly told from Chang'an's perspective. Mo Xuanji finally understood what Zhu Chang'an saw in his nightmare.
…
After defeating the enemy, Zhu Changan sat cross-legged on the ground to rest. After a moment's rest, he pulled out a few energy bars from his pocket. Just as he was about to share them with his friends, he found himself in a room. It was a living room, decorated in a familiar style. Zhu Changan stared blankly at the scene, his hand holding the energy bar trembling slightly.
"An An, why are you sitting on the ground? Get up quickly. The ground is cold. If you sit for too long, you'll get diarrhea~"
A voice that hadn't been heard in a long time came from behind. For the first time, the usually heartless Zhu Changan's face showed a heartbreaking expression. He turned his head in disbelief and rubbed his eyes vigorously: "Mom?"
"What's wrong, An An?" The pretty woman smiled and put the dishes on the table: "Go wash your hands quickly, Dad will be back soon."
Speak of the devil, and he appears. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu's father opened the door. "Haha, look! Son, what did Daddy bring back for you?"
Zhu Changan's lips trembled as he managed a seemingly heartless smile: "It's a birthday cake." Then his father would say...
"That's right, and there's also a little golden retriever~ Happy birthday!" Zhu Changan's inner message box and Zhu's father's dialogue box overlapped.
Zhu Changan had dreamed of this scene thousands of times.
…
As expected, netizens were stunned.
Mo Xuanji was reading the comic silently, while Zhu Changan, holding the puppy, had a happy smile on his face. He seemed to have forgotten the unreasonableness here and sank into the beautiful fantasy.
[Wow, my Changan, how can you still laugh so heartlessly at this time?]
[This smile really makes me feel sad, sob]
[The knife is numb. Changan has dreamed of this scene more than once. He remembers everything his parents said and did clearly.]
[Is this an illusion? The scene changed right after I defeated the spider monster?]
[Changan, wake up! This is clearly a strange trap!]
…
His parents, whom he hadn't seen in years and were still alive, stood beside him, singing birthday songs and lighting birthday candles for him. Zhu Changan held the golden retriever puppy he had longed for since childhood, smiling, but tears welled up in his eyes.
It's as beautiful as a dream here.
"It's not a dream, An'an, we are here." Mom hugged Chang'an from behind.
"Stay, An An. From now on, our family will live here together and never be separated again." Dad stretched out his hand to him.
The little golden retriever in his arms gently licked the palm of Zhu Changan's hand.
Everything here is so real and beautiful.
Zhu Changan spoke slowly...
…
The comments section thought that Zhu Changan had been bewitched and was extremely anxious, but their voices could not be heard in the comics.
Mo Xuanji sighed softly. He knew Zhu Changan wouldn't choose to stay. After all, Zhu Changan had woken up entirely on his own will.
The next grid is pure black with only a dialog box: [Stay]
The scene switched, and the battle-damaged Mo Xuanji was being picked up by a strange creature by the neck. The strange creature said, "Stay, become a part of us, and never be separated."
Mo Xuanji, who was reading a comic, twitched her lips. "So you sent this invitation to a group of people? The best-selling product in the Ghost Realm?"
Unlike how she felt then, Mo Xuanji now felt nothing but shame as she watched herself being beaten. Was she beaten so badly back then? And now so many netizens have seen it… Help!
Mo Xuanji clicked on the barrage of comments on this page with some trepidation.
[prprprpr wife battle damage hehehe]
[This look is awesome! Yes, that's the look you give a dog. Look at me!]
Mo Xuanji showed dead fish eyes and quickly closed the barrage.
On the next page, Mo Xuanji's extreme counterattack is weird.
[Wow, my wife is so hot!]
[I knew my wife would be fine!]
[Wow, why is my wife so seriously injured? Send her to me quickly...] This comment has been blocked.
[Hehe, my brother’s legs aren’t really legs…]
[Woo woo woo why reward it! I also%… (subsequent content has been censored by the mysterious hand)] This comment was also blocked after a few seconds, with an additional message from the administrator: Please surf the Internet in a green way and create a harmonious and healthy network environment.
No, everything is normal in Chang'an, why does it suddenly change when it comes to me?
Mo Xuanji was completely baffled. Netizens seemed to have no moral integrity; scrolling down the comments section, you could even see people calling that eerie purple figure "wife," even creating their own secondary images.
The key is that you can’t tell the gender of this thing.
Mo Xuanji didn't understand, Mo Xuanji was greatly shocked, Mo Xuanji chose to respect every kind of xp.
"Haha, no matter how many times I see it, my eyes go dark." This is the system.
…
The moment Mo Xuanji woke up from the illusion, Zhu Changan smiled from his sweet dream. He rubbed the little golden retriever's head vigorously, then hugged his parents tightly.
Expectant smiles appeared on the parents' faces.
"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom," Zhu Chang'an said, slowly lowering his hands and stepping back. "I can't stay. My companions are still waiting for me, and the wishes you once entrusted to me have not yet been fulfilled. I can't stop here."
Zhu Changan remained lucid the entire time. As if to make up for the regrets he'd felt on every birthday over the years, he pestered his parents in the dream world with endless conversation, reminiscing about his upbringing and the friends he'd met. He hugged his parents one last time, a belated birthday gift, beautiful and dreamy enough. But the time had come, and it was time to wake up from the dream.
The khaki supernatural power flowed, and Zhu Changan shattered his long-cherished dream with his own hands.
He opened his eyes and was met with the concerned gazes of his companions.
…
【I will always be moved by the pure friendship! 】
[Wow, my little golden retriever, so Changan is not as heartless as he appears.]
