Chapter 21 Life-saving system is online



“Hmm!”

Pulling his hand and throwing it hard, Su Yi was thrown into the dark and narrow secret passage. His hand touched a thick layer of something on the ground, which felt a bit rough...

It's hair!

Su Yi was so scared that he immediately retracted his hands. When he was caught, he didn't see the other person clearly. He only saw that the hands were like dead branches, not like... the hands of a living person.

Was it a ghost that caught him?

But the system rules stated that there was only one ghost in this horror script-killing game. When the power went out before, he was led away by the ghost master, who also gave him heart disease medicine. He didn't seem like the kind of guy who would grab him and drag him away so roughly.

……pain.

Even at this time, Su Yi still kept thinking. His weak heart could not withstand the violent drag just now. He couldn't even run since he was a child. His breathing became more and more rapid. He lay on the land like a fish out of water, and his wedding dress was like a withered white flower.

It was pitch dark here, and the small and cramped space was frightening. Su Yi heard rustling sounds, and the ghost that was trying to catch him seemed to have crawled into another fork in the secret passage.

I don't know what he's going to do. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to escape and just sits here and waits for death, he will definitely be killed...

A sharp pain gushed out from the left side of his heart to his entire body. Su Yi covered his aching heart and curled up into a ball, unable to move even a finger.

The only faint light in the darkness came from his small TV, on which a series of question marks scrolled past, some of which were very violent:

[Help, help, why is he standing there? How stupid! The ghost is coming, run away]

[I've already said this is a vase, but some people insist on bragging about being smart. Now they've been slapped in the face! They were so scared when they saw a ghost that they didn't even dare to move.]

There were many doubts about him in the barrage, and his little TV was on the second page of [Top 100 Newcomers], receiving unprecedented attention. More and more new viewers came in to see him: during the golden time for escape when the ghosts temporarily left, he huddled in the secret passage, motionless, looking weak and stupid.

A prompt sound popped up on the light screen beside my ear:

[Congratulations on your small TV having over 1,000 viewers. Your popularity continues to rise, but your viewers seem to be quite upset with you. Please work harder, otherwise there may be a bad punishment~]

All Su Yi could do now was to stretch out his hand with great effort and take out the medicine that Ghost Young Master had given him. His movements were trembling, as if he was enduring great pain. With trembling fingertips, he opened the box, slowly squeezed a pill from the aluminum foil, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it immediately.

Not to mention escaping, it is impossible for him to stand up now. When the ghost comes back, it will be almost the time of his real death.

The effect of the medicine had not yet taken effect so quickly. Su Yi frowned and covered his chest. His delicate and beautiful face was stained with a layer of pain, which made him look even more pitiful.

[Wow, my sweet wife, what’s wrong with you? Did anyone see what medicine my wife just took?]

[Oh my god! I just saw: digoxin tablets, searched on Baidu, it’s for treating heart disease…]

[…Heart disease patient? Ahhh no wonder my wife keeps covering her chest, please don’t be in any trouble!!]

[Fuck, is this really a heart attack? What the hell is this horror script-killing thing? Who falsely recommended this new girl who is smart, pretty, and has potential? ? Unfollowed! ]

[With this physical condition, you can't even run? Die quickly! Don't occupy a place in the top 100!]

【Viewers ae56 and others gave a thumbs-up to your small TV】

The sharp pain in his heart slowly subsided, turning into waves of dull pain. Although it was still very painful, Su Yi knew that this level of pain would not be fatal. He slowly got up from the ground and landed on his knees. He couldn't stand up yet, and his body had no strength at all.

For a normal and healthy person, running and jumping to escape is a natural thing, but for a patient like him, it is as far-fetched as a fairy tale.

The ghost hadn't come back yet. Su Yi supported himself with his elbows and slowly crawled on the ground. He chose a corner by instinct and curled up like a poor injured little animal.

He held the hem of his wedding dress with both hands, trying to make himself look smaller and less easily noticed.

I heard prompts from the screen one after another: […Currently, a total of 312 viewers have clicked on your TV]

The increasing exposure not only did not bring him better positive feedback, but instead caused a large number of viewers to click and dislike him. Most viewers have watched bloody and horrific script-killing movies for a long time, and have gradually lost their empathy and compassion as human beings. They admire the strong and bully the weak, especially the weak newcomers who have no ability to fight back.

The comments from his "wife" who previously supported him and felt sorry for him have become a minority in comparison, drowned out by the majority of comments cursing him.

Light screen: [Please note that when more than 500 people step on your small TV, you will enter the [Top 100 Newcomers Bad List] in reverse order and become one of the 100 worst performing newcomers.]

[For players who enter the [Top 100 Newcomers], their hard-earned gold coins will be dumped out and snatched away by the audience. Please be aware of this. Do something to redeem the audience's negative emotions towards you! ]

"Rustle, rustle..."

Su Yi didn't have time to pay attention to the audience. He heard a horrible crawling sound. The ghost that had just caught him came again!

[The ghost is coming back, and this new guy is doomed! Family members, just move your fingers and step on his little TV to make him fall into the top 100 worst list, so that we can share his gold coins!]

[Yes, otherwise, if he dies, how many gold coins will be given to the system in vain? What a pity, I will go outside and call some more people to step on him...]

When Su Yi saw the small screen for the first time, he realized that there were so many people who wanted him dead, people he had never met or offended.

He didn't make any unnecessary moves, and he didn't have the energy to direct and change the barrage. Now he was so exhausted that he couldn't even stand up.

While quietly "waiting to die", Su Yi observed a very small change:

His wedding ring.

He remembered that the stone on the previous wedding ring was very dull, and he thought that the wedding ring of a wealthy family should have a huge diamond, not such a low-key style. Sure enough, this ring is extraordinary.

Now, that dull stone turned into a blood-red color like a ruby, and it was constantly flashing, as if transmitting information or connecting...

Su Yi thought of what the young master had told him before, that there are still opportunities to [think] in the horror script-killing game.

He waited for this opportunity calmly, with his hands clasped in front of his chest. Now the only thing he could do was to conserve his energy and not run around.

The audience on the barrage thought he was about to die, and were arguing over his gold coins:

[No, no! There are still a lot of gold coins in my wife's pocket. They are the rewards I gave to my wife. Why are you trying to snatch them away? I am so speechless!]

[Hahahaha, I'm so pissed off at you guys. Who told you to give a tip to such a stupid newbie? You deserve it!]

[You are really vicious. Don't you know that snatching the newcomer's gold coins will damage your character? According to the system rules, if the newcomer does not die in the end, all the unscrupulous viewers who snatched his gold coins will become his little slaves and make money for him continuously.]

[Please, how can a newcomer like this who is targeted by a ghost and has a congenital heart disease survive! If he survives, I will twist his head off and let him kick it like a ball! Family members, hurry up and step on it!]

At this moment, Su Yi suddenly saw the red light on the wedding ring disappear and it turned back into a dull stone.

[Ding Dong——]

Then, a somewhat mischievous mechanical voice sounded beside my ear, and it sounded a little familiar:

"Hi, wife~"

In the darkness, the voice seemed to be close to his ear, speaking to him. It was clearly a very mechanical voice, but it sounded like a conversation with a beloved lover across a distant time and space:

"I am your life-saving system. If you complete the mission, you will survive."

"The ghost is about to come in. You only need to move three steps to hide safely and not be found."

The rustling sound outside was indeed getting closer. Su Yi looked at his wedding ring. It looked ordinary, but the voice of a new system continued to ring in his mind, telling him very confidently:

"Trust me."

Now there was no choice but to believe it. Moreover, the tone of this life-saving system gave him an inexplicable sense of security:

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

"Move three steps to the left of your body and push aside the hair on the ground. There is a pit inside. Lie down in it and cover your body with your hair. Then the ghosts won't be able to find you."

Su Yi didn't care about his disgust for his hair. He tried to move his body towards the place the life-saving system said...

I quickly used my hands to push aside the hair on the ground, and sure enough, there was a pit underneath that was big enough for a person to lie down.

Su Yi didn't care about anything else and quickly lay down, gathering the hair that was parted by the quilt and covering himself with it like straw.

[?! What is this new guy doing? Struggling to his death?]

[No way! If the player fails to escape after the ghost leaves, when the ghost comes back, it will definitely end in death. I have seen so many bridesmaid copies and there is no exception. Everyone, please put him on the top 100 worst list and share the gold coins quickly!]

The frizzy hair covering his body pricked Su Yi's exposed skin, making him feel itchy. He wanted to curl himself up into a small ball. The life-saving system seemed to be able to read his mind and comforted him in his mind:

"Don't be afraid, these are just normal hairs, they are harmless."

Su Yi asked tentatively in his heart: "Can you also read my mind like the original system?"

Life-saving system: "No, I can only read what you want to say to me in your heart. I can't see your thoughts when you think alone, unless you want to share them with me.

"So from now on, you can think freely and don't have to worry about the unspoken rules. I'm here, and the screen of the script-killing game can't punish you."
