Chapter 17 Erotic Capital
In an instant, the whole scene changed abruptly. The house disappeared and was replaced by a dense bamboo forest. The bamboos were tall and leafy, blocking the sunlight from above. The whole forest was unusually gloomy and dull. The assembled corpse was hung on a growing green bamboo.
Later, a thick gray fog rose. Through the layers of fog, countless black long objects could be seen swaying on the bamboos in the distance.
It looks like the bodies of the scholar and the cripple, but it doesn't look like their bodies.
All of them were hanged.
They held crops, sickles and hoes in their hands, and the dried yellow soil remained on the soles of their tattered shoes.
A rustling sound passed by his ears and Li Ziyue looked up subconsciously.
And this look up.
At this moment, the heads of all the hanged people were slightly raised, and then turned towards him in unison.
Everyone stared at him, their eye sockets were pure black, like two bottomless black holes.
Then, the corners of their mouths turned up stiffly.
Laughing.
A cold wind blew, and the screams of suona came from the other side. The sound was harsh and lingering, like excitement and mourning. Yellow and white paper money for the dead fluttered in the woods, and a large black and red sedan chair appeared from the green.
On the other side, a rooster with a dead person's blood smeared on its body was cackling. It had a huge red flower pinned on its body and was tied up, waiting for the big sedan chair in front to come over.
That is a ghost marriage.
The next moment, he heard someone calling him from behind.
"elder brother."
Li Ziyue didn't look back.
Suddenly, a girl's childish voice came from the side, "Brother, mom said that people have to burn their faces to be safe when they die. Come and take a look at my face, is it burned?"
Li Ziyue closed his eyes, ignoring what was happening in front of him, and his hand holding the note became increasingly stiff.
Logically speaking, this scene shouldn't appear before his eyes.
In other words, since the child he possessed was bitten to death by a vicious dog, he should have returned to the infinite copy.
He hasn't gone out yet, the only possible reason is that the content of this primary pseudo-human copy is incomplete. It is only a small part of the long plot, so he can still see the subsequent plot.
In other words, the two copies are connected together.
Farmers hanging themselves collectively in the woods, ghost marriages with flying paper money, faceless girls... He knew exactly which copy these elements pointed to - "Suicidal Farmers" in the weather series copy, which was several levels more difficult than the primary pseudo-human copy.
In fact, the system did not force Li Ziyue to explore the "Suicidal Farmer" copy, but he suddenly remembered the mocking smile on the face of the human trafficker child he had seen before.
That smile is very familiar, so familiar...
Li Ziyue laughed.
It was a clear provocation, very much like that person's style.
The man's attitude was very clear. He had already placed the challenge letter in front of Li Ziyue, and it depended on whether he would accept it or not.
Li Ziyue rubbed his slightly swollen and painful solar plexus with no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
And the next moment, the spatial scene changed again instantly, all objects disappeared, and what remained was a pitch-black void.
It's time to go back.
Li Ziyue closed his eyes.
However, before he could catch his breath, countless black hands suddenly emerged from the dark world. They grabbed Li Ziyue's limbs fiercely and pulled him to the ground.
On the other side, inside the primary pseudo-human copy, the underground space.
Sun Yuancheng knelt down in front of Zhang Lian with a plop: "Please..."
His voice was filled with grief: "Please... If Li Ziyue is really a real player... and he died in the plot experience and became a fake person, please kill him and let him return to his identity as a real player..."
Zhang Lian looked down at him indifferently, the tip of his spear firmly on the ground: "I won't kill you, just because Li Ziyue treats you differently."
His voice grew deeper, and although his expression was cold, Sun Yuancheng still felt a suppressed anger in it.
Zhang Lian has always had a good temper. He never gets sad or happy when things happen, and rarely gets angry like this.
"I won't kill Li Ziyue, even if he is a fake person." Zhang Lian held the spear across his chest. "If he becomes a fake person, I will commit suicide."
He looked up at Yu Yu, whose half body was magically stuck on the door in front of him, and said something extremely calm and inhumane: "After that, I promise you that the fake people will win in the end, and all of you will die."
"All you can do now," Zhang Lian said slowly, "is pray that Li Zi can come out smoothly."
Yu Yu and Sun Yuancheng thought of many reasons to persuade Zhang Lian, but neither of them expected that there was an absolutely unbreakable premise in the whole thing - Zhang Lian's unspeakable feelings for Li Ziyue had been exaggerated to the point of being almost perverted.
Even in their eyes, Zhang Lian and Li Ziyue were just half-strangers who met for the first time in the copy.
If they knew this, they wouldn't have taken such a risk.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Previously, Zhang Lian had the tip of his spear pressed against his throat. Yu Yu was in great panic and lost all reason. Now that things had come to this, Li Ziyue had already gone in, and the arrow was on the string and had to be shot -
In a hurry, Yu Yu directly stuck half of his body into the main task room and began to interfere with the copy script.
This is a mutually destructive approach of "if I die, everyone dies". If there is any abnormality outside at this moment, it will be a fatal blow to Yu Yu and Li Ziyue who are trapped in the copy plot.
But Yu Yu was able to use this to temporarily avoid Zhang Lian's attack.
As time passed, Yu Yu's face turned from pale to rosy. Seeing that he looked so good, Sun Yuancheng felt even more uneasy as he watched from the side.
This means that Li Ziyue inside is probably in great danger.
Zhang Lian's expression remained unchanged. He just stood there without saying a word.
The air was filled with a thick sense of anxiety.
Yu Yu became more and more stable, and even had a subtle smile on his face.
However, the next moment.
A bony hand instantly broke through the door, stretched out from inside, grabbed Yu Yu's neck tightly, and then pulled him inside with force.
Yu Yu couldn't control his body and was dragged in directly. He screamed, and his throat seemed to be suddenly stuck by a hard object. The sound stopped halfway and he was finally trapped in the room.
Less than half a minute later, there was a crisp "bang!"
Yu Yu flew out of the door lying sideways like a kite with a broken string, and fell against the wall on the other side. His eyes were closed and his head was tilted, and he seemed to have fainted.
Li Ziyue held his side which was getting more and more seriously injured. There was no trace of normal color on his face. His lips were pale and his vision was blurred. He could only lean against the wall weakly.
The situation outside was clear. Sun Yuancheng ran over to help up the fallen Yu Yu. Zhang Lian came over at some point and stuffed a candy into his mouth without saying a word, then half-hugged him.
Li Ziyue lowered his head, and where no one could see, he quietly raised the corners of his lips.
Whether it was the plot of the dungeon or the subtle interpersonal relationships revealed by everyone's actions when they came out, his bet was right.
This injury is not a loss...
There was a faint fragrance coming from Zhang Lian's body at his nose, and the sweet taste of fruit candy filled his mouth. Li Ziyue's tense spirit gradually relaxed and he finally fainted uncontrollably.
The kick that Li Ziyue used to kick Yu Yu out of the room was not very heavy, and Yu Yu had barely recovered. He stared at Zhang Lian and Li Ziyue, who seemed to have fallen asleep in his arms, and his mood became increasingly heavy.
It is now obvious that he has fallen out with Li Ziyue and Zhang Lian, and they can definitely not go on together. Yu Yu pulls Sun Yuancheng and wants to take him away.
"I won't!" Sun Yuancheng struggled, "I want to be with Li..."
"Do you think he will let you go?" Yu Yu cursed, "I didn't succeed in my attempt. Li Ziyue is still the most likely fake person. Now Zhang Lian also has ill intentions towards you. As long as Li Ziyue makes the slightest sign, do you think you can survive?!"
"You want to completely tie your life to someone else's whim?!"
Sun Yuancheng hesitated: "But...but..." He still couldn't believe it.
"Fuck you, newbie! When will you learn the rules of infinite survival? Trusting others based on feelings is the stupidest thing to do! If you weren't a player... I..."
Sun Yuancheng kept silent. Li Ziyue had criticized him before for his identity as a player. At this moment, he lowered his head and finally agreed to Yu Yu sadly.
Zhang Lian didn't want to let them go.
Honestly speaking, in his opinion, the game does not require all the fake people to be converted into real people in order to pass the level. In this case, simply giving up Yu Yu and Sun Yuancheng and turning to save other people is also a soothing method.
However, Li Ziyue quietly grasped Zhang Lian's wrist.
He pinched Zhang Lian's palm with his cold fingertips, meaning, don't go.
Zhang Lian understood and took back the spear.
Li Ziyue was held in his arms with his knees supported, his cheek pressed against Zhang Lian's chest. He could hear the thunderous heartbeat from the other side, as well as the unusual chill.
His fingertips unconsciously rested on that spot, feeling the skin there returning to its normal temperature because of his touch.
Li Ziyue was becoming more and more drowsy, and suddenly he felt a little despicable.
He knew that as long as they were immersed in the plot experience, if there was any interference from the outside world, the people inside would suffer a big blow. Under normal circumstances, Li Ziyue would not take this risk, but Zhang Lian was there.
He had an injury on his waist before, and the reason he allowed Zhang Lian to bandage it for him was only because he wanted to pull Zhang Lian into his camp.
The hem of his clothes that he lifted up deliberately and his red earlobes were just a deliberate act on his part. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was seduction.
Sex and love are a kind of invisible capital. Li Ziyue no longer regards them as treasures to be hidden away. He uses them whenever he can without any hesitation.
The moment Zhang Lian hugged him without hesitation when they came out, Li Ziyue knew that he had made the right bet.
He didn't care why Zhang Lian was so fond of him. It was enough for him to know that Zhang Lian was fond of him. That was enough for him to use Zhang Lian.
Li Ziyue was feeling restless and there was going to be chaos in the live broadcast room.
During the previous plot experience, the system forcibly closed the barrage in the live broadcast room. Everyone held it in for a long time. Just as they opened the permission, they saw Li Ziyue falling into Zhang Lian's arms. They couldn't sit still anymore and the barrage rolled over in a black mass.
[I want to cry, really, especially now Yueyue still has a back injury, is there anyone who understands me?]
[I'm watching the unlimited live broadcast, right? There's also a free dating show to watch? Buy one get one free? ]
[His ears turned red, oh my god...]
There is less than half an hour left before the end of the night, and Li Ziyue's live broadcast room has accumulated more than 500 viewers, which is more than five times the number of viewers when he started broadcasting.
The sweet taste in his mouth had not yet faded away, but in this situation, Li Ziyue could not feel happy when he heard the system in his mind broadcasting the news that the audience had joined the fan club.
That’s so despicable, Li Ziyue.
He lowered his eyes.
It’s not enough that you plot against Zhang Lian, you also have to plot against the reactions of the audience in the live broadcast room.
…
Li Ziyue closed his eyes and buried his face in Zhang Lian's arms.
In fact, he knew that his actions were nothing. At most, he felt guilty and it did not harm others. However, his mood was still complicated.
Li Ziyue paused for breath.
For some reason, when he associated the word "exploitation" with Zhang Lian, he actually felt sorry for it.
Maybe it was because Zhang Lian taught him English.
Li Ziyue barely came up with this ridiculous reason, and suddenly felt that he was indeed obsessed with doing the exercises.
Zhang Lian found a room with a table and chairs. Just as he was about to move, he felt Li Ziyue beside him raise his head.
He stared at Zhang Lian without saying anything.
Zhang Lian blinked blankly, then opened his backpack, took out two bottles of Big Eyes milk, inserted the straws into them, and handed them to Li Ziyue.
Li Ziyue: “……?”
While drinking milk, he said casually, "There's one more thing I haven't asked you."
Zhang Lian's movements suddenly paused, and after a long while he uttered a vague "hmm".
Li Ziyue swallowed the milk in his mouth and said, "Let's change it next time. This one is a bit too sweet."
Zhang Lian said "hmm" again, and Li Ziyue got to the point: "You said before that you watched the video, but did you just watch the video of the restaurant?"
He studied Zhang Lian's expression carefully.
Who knew that this man was so foolproof? No matter how Li Ziyue looked at him, Zhang Lian had a dazed look on his face, as if he was in a trance all the time.
It's a waste to have such a face.
Li Ziyue sighed silently in his heart. If Zhang Lian had a more expressive face, there would be so many people following him.
"It's not just the restaurant section." Zhang Lian was silent for two seconds, put away the empty milk carton, then opened his backpack again and took out a circle of white balls from it.
"These are all videos. I've watched them all." He took one out of the small ball and handed it to Li Ziyue. "This is the one in the restaurant."
Li Ziyue took the ball and said nothing.
Zhang Lian looked at him without moving his gaze.
Only Zhang Lian himself knew how guilty he felt when he said, "I've seen it all."
Among the white balls he took out, only some were real ones that could be used to watch videos, and the others were imitation empty balls with no content inside.
Zhang Lian is not a person who does things without knowing how to do them in full, but...
He has no points left.
Before the transaction in the points store last night, he was still ranked eleventh in the points ranking. After the transaction, Zhang Lian almost couldn't afford the points for the normal maintenance of his own world.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Ziyue finally spoke: "How do you watch this video?"
Zhang Lian helped him click it and projected it onto the wall. Li Ziyue no longer worried about other issues and focused all his attention on the video.
But Zhang Lian's heart was still suspended in mid-air.
If Li Ziyue looked more carefully, he would find that all the videos that could be watched in these balls had a common point that Zhang Lian could not explain - Li Ziyue was in all the videos.
