Chapter 70: Confession 1 Lin Xicai: “…” …
Lin Xicai: “…”
"Learning well" = no standards = he decides when to finish.
Lin Xicai felt hopeless. Why did she only meet such crazy people?
By the third day, Lin Xicai simply stopped running - she couldn't run anymore, and no matter where she ran to, she would be caught at midnight anyway.
Since things have already become like this, we might as well make the best of them. We might as well just learn from them.
For the next few days, as soon as Lin Xicai woke up, the freshly prepared exercises for the day were already placed by her bed.
From the moment she finished breakfast, the nightmare of the day began. He became more and more harsh on her. Whenever she diligently completed a seemingly impossible study task the day before, he would increase the workload the next day. The number of test papers given to her increased every day. She really could not finish them from morning to night without slacking off for even a minute.
It's not over even after she finishes it. It's still the same process. I correct her work and explain each question to her one by one. After that, I force her to write it again on a blank paper. She can only go to bed after she finishes it correctly and the acceptance is completed.
Lin Xicai originally thought that she had studied hard enough before, but now she realized that she was too conservative before. Only when she met a radical did she realize that she had so much potential!
This... this is worse than school.
This high-intensity cramming education was extremely painful for her at first, but she was indeed making progress despite the pain.
Because this terrifying madman knew her so well, even better than she knew herself. He knew every blind spot, loophole, and weak point in her life, and then he attacked them one by one with precise precision. This kind of targeted "strong irrigation" was something the school had no way of giving her.
Progress is addictive because it gives you a taste of sweetness. Although it is bitter, her resentment gradually subsided.
Xie Shi, with his devilish appearance and shady ways, was a master at managing life. Although he was authoritarian and resembled a human trafficker, he actually cleaned the house and cooked meals every day, and even had to comfort Lin Xicai when she missed home. Besides not letting her leave, he was like a patriarch here.
The only thing she couldn't accept was some of his quirks.
For example, he was obsessed with buying clothes for her and would buy her clothes every day. Every morning when she woke up, several sets of clothes in different styles would be automatically placed on the bedside for her to choose from.
Every day! Every day is different.
After she got dressed and left the room, he would take pictures of her.
Lin Xicai thought he was a pervert and scolded him for wanting to play dress-up and buy a doll.
Oh - on this point, he is not hypocritical. He is not only committed to dressing her up, but also to dressing himself up. Every day, he will match himself with an outfit based on the clothes she chooses. He never leaves the house but dresses up gorgeously. The two of them are each other's only audience.
Lin Xicai really didn't understand this habit. Every time he took out his camera to take a picture of her, she would get a chill on her face and not understand, "What's the point of taking a picture? I can't keep it. When I return to zero, there will be nothing left."
Xie Shi paused with his hand holding the camera, and rarely did he refute.
But he only paused for a moment, then took the photo without error, neurotically recording one photo after another that would not survive the day.
After a few days of intensive study, Xie Shi installed a projector in the living room, saying that she could watch a movie to relax, as a way to combine work and rest.
Lin Xicai naturally wouldn't refuse - studying was too hard and tiring, let alone watching a movie, even sweeping the floor would feel like relaxation to her.
Lin Xicai sat leisurely on the sofa, watching Xie Shi working beside her.
The curtain dropped and the screen lit up. Lin Xicai was stunned when she saw the title of the movie.
"What's wrong?" Xie Shi fiddled with the remote control in his hand and smiled. "Don't want to watch 'Juvenile Offenders'? How about something else like 'Daily Life in Juvenile Detention Center' or 'A Major Case'?"
Lin Xicai stared at him, feeling a chill down her spine.
The movies he had just recommended were all the ones she had shown to Li Ci.
Even the order is the same.
So he really knows what’s going on in the space.
So the feeling of being stared at that time that disturbed her from time to time was not an illusion at all, it was...
A dense chill crept up, and Lin Xicai's hands and feet became cold almost instantly.
There are too many mysteries surrounding this person. She had never dared to uncover them or face them before, even though they were so obvious. He didn't say anything and she avoided them. The two of them had been playing Tai Chi, but now, maybe it was time to face it.
"You're spying on me." Lin Xicai looked at him, her lips pale. "Don't deny it. You've revealed too many flaws. I want to know how you did it."
Xie Shi was playing with the remote control in his hand, not looking at her. "You think I'm a monster and you're scared, right?"
"I want to know the truth." Lin Xicai said.
"You guessed it right." Xie Shi said.
Lin Xicai stared at him, her eyes stubborn and focused: "I want you to tell me in person."
"I am the conquered one in this world." Xie Shi looked at her, "Just as you thought."
He knew, he actually knew, he really knew.
Not only did he know her identity, he also knew that her strategy mission was to be the first in the grade.
Wait, since he knows her strategy mission, so...
So is there a possibility that he has been clear-headed throughout these rounds of attacks?
I recall this person's keen foresight, the confident look on his face when he chose the numbers for the Double Color Ball lottery, and the depth of knowledge this person possessed, yet seemed to know everything, despite never having studied.
Maybe this isn't a superpower at all, but rather a memory from his successive rounds of strategy. To him, this world is just a movie he's watched too many times. Those seemingly bizarre places are just because he's familiar with the details, and are simply information gaps.
If this is true, then he, then he also knows about the existence of the raider?
Not only her, but also...
they.
"You're very smart." Xie Shi said calmly, "Some questions may already have answers without even asking."
"Which one am I?" Lin Xicai asked.
Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to ask this question first.
"Before me, many girls have tried to pursue you, right?" Lin Xicai's throat tightened. "You always knew this? How did you know? They...were they also doing missions for their lives like me?"
She wanted to ask more directly, but was afraid that the result would be too bloody.
If a person knows from the beginning that the person is approaching with the intention of conquering him, would he dare to give his heart to him?
If those people did this to survive like her, wouldn’t the consequences be too terrible?
As if seeing through her thoughts, Xie Shi was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Desire is the key to this world. Only those with strong enough desires have the chance to enter. You are here because you have a strong desire to survive, but not everyone's desire is to survive. Most of them desire material desires and lust..."
Some people are at the end of their rope and seek a huge bonus, some people are talented but not appreciated and seek a chance to turn things around, some people cannot get the love they want and seek true love... When these desires soar to a certain level, perhaps they will encounter an opportunity, be smelled, and then be sent to this place.
For example, after he was able to hear the voice of others, the first girl who came to him to conquer was a senior office worker. This girl was most eager to get money, so she came to this world after fainting from overtime. If the strategy was successful, her reward for passing the level would be a check for eight million in real life.
He didn't know the girl's age exactly, but she should be in a relatively mature and hungry stage. Facing Xie Shi, the sister's most common voice was - "As expected of the male lead, this brother is really handsome. Can something really happen? I'm looking forward to it."
How could Xie Shi, who was still naive at that time, bear this? Not to mention being moved, he was simply scared to death. The harder his poor sister tried, the more unfortunate she became. By the end of the game, her favorability index had turned negative.
Game over.
For example, after he heard his heart's voice, the second girl who came to pursue him was a mediocre star in real life. She had a certain degree of fame, but her career luck was not so good. The star longed to be famous the most and dreamed of being famous, so she came into this world after being injured while filming, and her reward for completing the level was an opportunity to make her career explode.
The little star calls himself an actor. After being sent to this world, he is very excited and regards this strategy mission as a performance. He analyzes the male protagonist in various ways, directs and acts in the play himself, and tries to break through the "male protagonist's" defenses with his superb acting skills.
It can be said that the little star is quite talented in acting, and she has put a lot of ingenuity into the small theater she wrote and directed. It's a pity that the male protagonist can hear her voice.
Xie Shi’s biggest impression of this little star is that he is narcissistic.
Due to his profession, the young star looks at people's faces first, comments on other people's appearance and outfit anytime and anywhere, and is mysteriously satisfied with his own.
The little star put in his best effort, but seeing that Xie Shi's favorability index hadn't increased, his defenses gradually broke down. "Me? Big star, what are you so arrogant about, you paper man? Do you think you're so handsome? I've seen too many people like you. Which of my former colleagues is not better than you?"
The defense was broken in the end and turned into a personal attack. At the end of the game, the favorability once again became negative.
Game over.
The next girl is a female college student who is crazy about love. She is madly in love with a male god-like figure on campus, but the male god has someone else in his heart. The female college student came to this world after taking medicine because of love. If she successfully passes the level, the reward is that she can make the male god in the real world fall in love with her.
Because of love, you have to betray love in another world.
This girl has no feelings for Xie Shi and even rejects him. She has someone in her heart, but she has to pretend to please him.
She was very twisted and negative. Besides missing her beloved, she also tried to drag him down. For nearly a year, the woman compared Xie Shi to her idol in her mind and criticized him from head to toe. In the end, she came to the conclusion that, except for his face, he was not as good as her idol in any way.
No matter how magnanimous Xie Shi was, he couldn't stand being trampled on by Kukula for a year, and the result was predictable.
Game over.
…….
One woman after another.
All kinds of women.
By the end he was almost numb.
He even developed a fear of the existence of women - so it was not unfair for Lin Xicai to say in the early days that he had "gynophobia".
Xie Shi told her about his life experience, the things he had experienced, and the rules of this world without any emotion. Of course, he deliberately concealed the part of his heart. He did not tell her that he knew some secrets because he could hear the voice of the heart.
——This would definitely scare her, and based on his understanding of this person, she would most likely overreact. Even if he told her that he could no longer hear, she might not believe it and would repeatedly worry about what she had said in her heart before, falling into endless internal consumption.
This is not a good thing for either her or them.
"How do you know these people are attackers? Also, their missions are easy to guess, but how do you know what they will get after completing the mission?" Lin Xicai's face turned pale.
Xie Shi was not surprised at all that she would ask this. After thinking for a moment, he said vaguely, "No one knows this world better than me. I've lived long enough, so it's not easy to find out something."
"How did you do that?" Lin Xicai looked at him, her lips dry. "Could it be that every time you start the game, all the information about this attacker automatically appears in your mind?"
Xie Shi was speechless. Her simple and crude idea saved him the trouble of explaining. Xie Shi nodded, "That's about right."
Lin Xicai was skeptical, then suddenly looked up as she thought of something. "Do you have any way to spy on others?"
Xie Shi pursed his lips and asked, "How do you monitor me?"
"Space," Lin Xicai stared at him with an extremely serious expression. "How do you explain what happened in the space? Why do you know everything that happened in it? Do you think this is normal?"
And those feelings of being stared at that she felt from time to time, she had a hunch that it was not an illusion.
"You can see..." Lin Xicai paused, not knowing how to continue. "Do you... have some kind of clairvoyance?"
Xie Shi was speechless. He thought, she is good at describing.
This was a confession, and he wanted to tell her as much of the truth as she could bear.
He was hesitating, wondering whether he should put it in a way that she could accept more and tell her that he could see some images.
Before he could even think of how to start, the girl in front of him suddenly changed the subject with a serious expression, as if she had suddenly thought of a question that concerned her more. "Among all these people... has anyone ever succeeded in conquering someone?"
Xie Shi looked up, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little strange.
Lin Xicai's heart skipped a beat.
"So... yes?"
It seems so.
She knew Xie Shi too well. If he hadn't, he would have denied it the moment she asked the first half of the question.
Lin Xicai couldn't describe the feeling, half of it was surprise, half of it was...
It's not strange, not strange at all.
Every girl is cute in her own way, and besides, they all came here to win over him, so it's normal for one or two of them to succeed.
Success? So what was considered success? A hug? A kiss? A kiss that was more intense than when he held her? Or a kiss that was deeper?
Lin Xicai suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and was silent for a moment. "What kind of girl is she?" she asked.
To be 100% moved by such a person, he must be a very extraordinary person.
