Click...click...
Bai Ye heard the sound of wheels rolling across the floor, someone came to the bedroom.
He hid behind the cloakroom, hunched over like a hunting jackal, his eyes fixed to the cat's eye, staring vigilantly at the bedroom door.
The first thing that came in was the feet, wearing leather shoes, stepping on the pedals of the wheelchair.
Above the leather shoes is another person's foot, wearing slippers, with only a thin white ankle exposed, and the upper legs are wrapped in a bath towel...
Bai Ye, who was peeping through the peephole, clenched his fists. The disabled old man came in carrying Su Yi!
"Look, it's just the lamp that fell and broke. Don't be afraid."
The old man lowered his voice. His coaxing face was so disgusting that Bai Ye wanted to vomit just by looking at it.
Su Yi was held in his arms, wrapped in a large bath towel. Her face was rosy after she got out of the bath, and even her ears were pink. She responded in a low voice:
"Fortunately no one was in the bedroom, it was so dangerous."
Bai Ye's sharp eyes penetrated the cat's eye and stared at Su Yi madly, repeatedly confirming whether he was taken advantage of by the hateful old man, whether he was coerced and hurt... Otherwise, why would he come out wrapped in a bath towel?
What were they doing in the bathroom again? The system clearly gave pajamas to every player, so why didn't Su Yi wear them but a bath towel? What's so shameful about your body?
His anxious eyes were glued to Su Yi's face and neck. There were no suspicious red marks, and his lips were moist, not as red and swollen as after being sucked.
Her cheeks were a little red, maybe she was a little shy, but she didn't look wronged or bullied. Then I looked at the old man, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and didn't even change his leather shoes. He probably... didn't do anything in the bathroom, let alone take a damn bath together.
Bai Ye felt a little relieved, because the audience's comments were indeed full of nonsense.
Swish.
The wheelchair drove to the bedside, and Young Master Bai lifted the velvet-soft quilt and carried Su Yi in.
Su Yi glanced at the lampshade fragments on the ground. Just one glance, his extraordinary observation ability made him feel that these fragments... felt out of place.
He reconstructed the fragments in his mind, and his excellent geometric imagination quickly restored the original shape of the lampshade in his mind. Yi frowned slightly, this kind of shattering did not seem like the lamp falling naturally, but rather like... being pierced by something, and then falling and breaking into many pieces.
"The props in the Bride's copy...are all so fragile?" Su Yi didn't have the lantern punctured, so he asked the young master casually.
"I guess so. After all, this is a rookie copy and we can't give you a very good experience. Look at our lounge. We are still living in the basement."
Indeed. Su Yi thought, no matter how little attention was paid to them, they couldn't let a young master and his wife from a wealthy family live in the basement without even a window for ventilation. The lace stockings of the young wife's wedding dress were made of cheap material, and they pricked her legs until they were red.
"But, I heard that the previous bride copies were not like this."
Young Master Bai suddenly spoke:
"It is said that at that time, the Bride dungeon was the most popular high-difficulty dungeon among players."
Su Yi paused and cast a curious look.
Young Master Bai: "You should also be able to sense that the relationships between the characters in this instance are very complicated. There are disputes over inheritance, serial murders at weddings, and ghostly and haunted elements. The setting doesn't seem like a rookie instance at all."
Su Yi: "I thought it was the system... that deliberately set it up like this to scare the newbies."
Starting the game in hell difficulty scares new players, which is very much like what a horror script-killing system would do.
"Maybe there is this purpose. But the difficulty of clearing the bride's copy is not high now, and it won't scare many newlyweds. In other words, even if you can't solve the series of complex questions, you will pass it inexplicably." Bai Da Shao said:
"Many veteran players have played this dungeon. Just asking around will tell you that although the settings of this dungeon are complex, most of the information is useless. After a few concentrated reasoning sessions, the suspects are basically locked on the two or three players. Then it's a blind guess, and the one who guesses correctly will pass the level.
"As for the wedding serial murder case, why the deceased bride died, why this wealthy family was so bold to hold the wedding here after two murders, and the methods of committing the crime, etc., we don't know any details. Most of the newlyweds just pass the level in a daze. Our experience became more difficult this time, probably because we encountered a difficult murderer who killed several players."
Su Yi: "... Then, what was the previous bride copy like?"
"I haven't experienced it either. It was too long ago. I only heard about it..." Young Master Bai paused and said meaningfully:
"The Bride dungeon was heavily deleted and modified by the system because of a certain setting violation. The costumes and makeup were also quickly downgraded, and finally it was reduced to a bridal dungeon."
Su Yi was stunned after hearing this.
On the other side of the wall, Bai Ye, hiding behind the peephole, also frowned. This was the first time he heard such a statement.
The probability of a newlywed being drawn into the Bride copy is 70%, but he didn't get it when he was a newlywed. This time he went to the copy with no other purpose but to kill ghosts.
He had cleared most of the other dungeons with ghosts, and even killed the ghosts in the ones he hadn't cleared, which was quite satisfying. One day, Bai Ye was free and flipped through his battle records, and found that he had never killed the ghosts in such a low-level bride dungeon, so he came to check in.
After hearing what Mr. Bai said, "The bride's copy was deleted due to violations," a normal person would only hear the meaning: the script being experienced now has been modified.
But after Su Yi heard it, he immediately realized several hidden meanings. What the young master said was: the copy was deleted by the system due to setting violations.
It will be deleted and modified by the system, which means that the copy of the horror script-killing game is not naturally set by the system, but is created and then submitted to the system for review.
...Who created it?
Su Yi has been thinking about what kind of world the horror script-killing is, why do they keep pulling people in from the real world? Who are the audiences in the barrage?
…The first thing that comes to mind is probably: aliens observing human beings, and higher-dimensional beings experimenting on humans for fun.
But Su Yi recalled the quality of the barrage. If aliens and higher-dimensional creatures were just like this, then the entire universe would be in danger.
In addition, humans in the parallel world use special means to observe humans in this world, and advanced artificial intelligence systems awaken their self-awareness and begin to abuse humans...
These wild speculations have not yet been supported by any valid evidence, and they all have one characteristic: attributing the current fear and pain to evil external factors: aliens, higher-dimensional creatures, bad guys from parallel worlds, and rebellious artificial intelligence.
But Su Yi thought of the simplest guess from the young master's words:
Is it possible that this terrifying world was created by humans themselves?
This group of people created many copies. Later, some of them may have changed, or mixed with others to create the bride copy.
The original copy of the bride escaped the system's review, but was later discovered by the system due to certain changes and was deleted and modified.
Thinking deeper, why was it deleted? Su Yi thought of the most taboo thing in the system: trying to conceal, escape, or even resist the horror script-killing.
Is there such a possibility, Su Yi guessed, that the person who created the bride copy had left some obscure hints in the original version of the bride copy to help players escape from the script-killing game, and it was finally discovered by the system and completely deleted and modified.
Su Yi even thought further that the original system might not be as strict as it is now, being able to completely control people's thoughts and achieve round-the-clock monitoring. In the distant future, perhaps some players could really escape.
This information is too illegal. If it weren't for the life-saving system protecting him, Su Yi thought, he would have been on the electric chair countless times by now.
The young master who did not have a life-saving system could not tell him so much directly, and could only say very tactfully: This copy has been modified by the system.
Just saying this one sentence, without extending, expanding, or thinking about anything else, the system cannot find out from this one sentence whether the player is trying to conceal/escape/resist the script-killing idea.
A warm hope ignited in Su Yi's heart. He looked at the young master with bright black eyes and asked:
"Can you still find it?"
——Hints on escaping from this world in the original bride copy.
Young Master Bai looked at Su Yi with a look of amazement and admiration in his eyes. He smiled and said softly:
"That's up to you."
The two looked at each other tacitly, saying nothing more, and there was no need to say anything more.
Outside the door, behind the small peephole, only Bai Ye frowned in confusion:
What are these two talking about?
Why do you suddenly want to find something? It's up to you...?
Bai Ye didn't understand, but he felt that there was something fishy going on here. He originally planned to rush in with a knife to intimidate the disabled brother, but now he calmed down a little and continued to peek through the cat's eye.
There was a rustling sound from the bed, and Su Yi crawled into the quilt.
Young Master Bai was beside Su Yi, and the large wheelchair blocked Bai Ye's sight. He did not see Su Yi taking off the bath towel. When he saw it again, the bath towel was already covering the quilt, and Su Yi was wrapped in the quilt.
He frowned unhappily. Is there something hidden under the towel that cannot be seen? Why is it covered so tightly?
"Is this why you came?"
Bai Ye heard Su Yi lying on the bed and asked the old man softly.
Su Yi remembered that during the first concentrated reasoning, the young master said that he had no obsession with the truth. As a level 97 player, there must be a reason for re-brushing this rookie copy.
"Not really." Young Master Bai looked at Su Yi tenderly, his eyebrows curved:
"I came here for a more important purpose."
He leaned over and carefully tucked in the quilt for Su Yi:
"Go to sleep first. I'll go wash up."
Su Yi curled up in the warm quilt, with only her pink little face showing, and nodded obediently to the young master.
Sigh...
The young master turned his wheelchair and slid towards the bathroom.
Bai Ye stuck his head through the peephole. Now, there were only him and Su Yi left in this bedroom.
He originally wanted to confirm Su Yi's safety before going back. He was afraid that the old man would take advantage of Su Yi while she was taking a shower...
Now I see Su Yi has finished taking a shower and got into bed obediently.
But somehow, his feet seemed to have their own consciousness and took root behind the cat's eye, unwilling to leave.
Bai Ye slowly held his breath, staring at the bulging quilt on the bed, the face lying on the pillow, and Su Yi's relaxed and defenseless expression... For a moment, he couldn't take his eyes away.
If someone had told him before that one day, he would hide behind the door carefully, just to secretly look at someone a few more times, or even just look at that person lying on the bed wrapped in a small quilt, without even blinking...
He would definitely beat the guy who said such nonsense to the ground, then step on his head and curse him: idiot.
…look for a while and then leave.
Bai Ye used his strong self-control to persuade himself that he really didn't want to see Su Yi sleeping. There was really nothing good about sleeping. He just wanted to confirm that the old man would not harm Su Yi, that's all. This? It's not like peeping at his sister-in-law, and it's not perverted.
Su Yi turned over in bed. This was his first night spent in script-killing and he couldn't sleep.
A lot of things happened today. Su Yi thought about it and wanted to open the character record book to organize his thoughts.
He stretched out a hand from under the quilt, and with a stroke of his fingertips in the air, a light screen popped up -
【Beep! ! 】
As soon as he opened it, Su Yi saw several light screen reminders pop up in front of him:
[I am very sorry to inform you that your bathing time has exceeded 2 minutes and 16 seconds. You are really a player with no concept of time and should be punished. According to the regulations, 100 gold coins will be deducted for every second of delay, and you will be deducted 13,600 gold coins]
Su Yi: "..."
[The system detected that the player - Bai Dashao entered the bathroom when you were about to get out of the bath. If the player's behavior caused you any obstruction, you can apply for him to bear the compensation]
Su Yi discovered that this [application] order had been executed.
...Sure? It must have been the life-saving system that did it!
"Life-saving system."
Su Yi called in his heart.
He didn't blame the young master for taking a shower overtime, let alone more than 10,000 gold coins. How could he have the nerve to ask the young master to pay for such a large amount? He happened to have taken in slaves, so he actually had a lot of money to deduct.
“…Wife, I’m here.”
The life-saving system seemed to know that it was overstepping its authority, and its voice sounded a little hollow:
"You can't go back anyway."
Clatter! Su Yi heard the delayed sound of gold coins falling beside his ears, and then looked at the system prompt. As early as the moment he came out of the bathroom, the young master paid him this sum of money:
[Player - Mr. Bai, has made a profound self-reflection on his behavior of preventing you from taking a bath. He will pay you ten times the amount of compensation, which has reached the upper limit of this system: a total of 136,000 gold coins. He expressed his sincere apologies and hoped that you could forgive him.]
Su Yi: "..."
130,000...
He just went to the bathroom, and suddenly with a system operation, his account had nearly hundreds of thousands more?
And the young master gave it to him? The time it took to transfer the money was very fast, and the time between when the life-saving system sent out the compensation application was less than a second...
That is, when he saw the application, the young master chose the highest compensation of ten times without thinking twice, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars as if it were just a dozen dollars, as if it was a breeze.
She could even chat with him when she came out of the bathroom, without showing any change in expression.
"With so much money, how could you ask the young master for it without me?" Su Yi said to himself, "I... will return it to him."
"What are you afraid of? This guy has plenty of money." The life-saving system shouted:
"The horror script-killing game does not allow players to transfer large amounts of gold coins to each other. It's a rare opportunity to get a large amount of compensation. And the compensation is given to you by the system, and you can't return it!"
“…”
Su Yi immediately sensed the subtlety:
"How do you know the young master has a lot of money?"
The life-saving system suddenly fell silent.
Su Yi immediately thought that it was the life-saving system that in the beginning instigated him to ask the young master to come in and help him put on his clothes.
"You've already planned it, right? Call the young master in, make me take an overtime shower, and then apply for compensation from the system. In the end, you can legitimately get a large amount of gold coins from the young master."
The life-saving system was speechless, as if it had agreed.
Su Yi suddenly had a guess, and his heart was moved:
"Were you...the system that protected the young master?"
He thought, even if it wasn't, the life-saving system should have some kind of cooperative relationship with the young master, but the young master gave such a precious system to him...
Unexpectedly, the life-saving system made a fierce sound of "Pooh", as if it was disgusted with the young master: "Who wants to protect him? I am my wife's exclusive life-saving system, and I only protect my wife!"
Su Yi blinked in confusion and asked in his heart: "So...Is it only me who can use you?"
Life-saving system: “Yes.”
"…Why?" Su Yi smiled, with a self-deprecating tone: "I... don't have any outstanding qualities. I can't even speak loudly to others."
The life-saving system did not answer directly. It paused for a moment and said softly, "There are so many people in this world. There are many who are taciturn, and there are also many who are talkative. What is considered outstanding?"
The calm mechanical voice with a human tone said in Su Yi's ear:
"Some people's mere existence is enough for another person."
Su Yi, who had been tortured by the murder in the horror script for a whole day, suddenly felt a kind of warmth at this moment.
In a quiet bedroom, on a comfortable bed, feeling refreshed after a shower, in this quiet atmosphere, suddenly! Su Yi heard:
Bang--!
There was a dull thud, and Su Yi was startled, followed by: bang bang bang bang!
The cloakroom door started shaking!
Su Yi immediately looked at the crack in the cloakroom door, and he found that the originally transparent crack of light now had a dark spot in the middle...
It must be a pair of shoes that blocked the light.
——There is someone behind the door!
In the cloakroom, Bai Ye behind the door's door suddenly became calm like a volcanic eruption the moment Su Yi stretched out his hand from under the quilt.
He saw Su Yi stretch out his hand and wave it in the air, which should have opened his personal light screen... But this is not important. What is important is that the arm that Su Yi stretched out was naked!
The weather is not that hot right now, so the pajamas the system issued are all long-sleeved and long-pants, or at least short-sleeved and short-sleeved...
What on earth was Su Yi wearing? Sleeveless and pantsless? ?
Could it be that there is nothing wearing under that bath towel?
Bai Ye's mind suddenly exploded. If this was true, then the old man carried Su Yi out of the bathroom... and what might happen here later...
Bang--!
He banged his fist on the cloakroom door.
The door panel shook violently.
There was a constant sound of water in the living room and bathroom. While the cripple was taking a shower, he must take Su Yi away! He must not let Su Yi lie naked in such a dangerous bedroom!
Su Yi stared at the door of the cloakroom in fear and lay on the bed not daring to get down.
...What's inside? That force was so fierce just now... Is it a human? Or a monster?
He is weak and sick, so there is no way he can win. Su Yi asked the life-saving system worriedly:
"Can you…can you detect what's behind the door?"
"Oh."
The life-saving system laughed: "It's just an incompetent and angry puppy."
Su Yi:?
Life-saving system: "Don't worry, I will definitely inform you in advance if there is any fatal danger. As for the puppy, it's up to you."
...What puppy? Su Yi didn't understand. The pair of shoes stuck in the crack of the door clearly looked like a standing person, or a monster wearing shoes.
But since the life-saving system said so, it will definitely not harm him, and the things in the cloakroom are probably not dangerous.
Su Yi plucked up his courage. He reached out and picked up the bath towel covering the quilt, reached into the quilt, wrapped himself up first, then lifted the quilt, put on his slippers, and got out of bed.
Bai Ye saw this action and it was almost confirmed: Su Yi was not wearing anything under her bath towel! !
Bai Ye gritted his teeth in anger and could almost hear the sound of his teeth chattering. A surge of anger rose to the top of his head.
Click, click.
Su Yi walked towards this side slowly and cautiously in slippers. Bai Ye was like an attacking tiger or leopard, with his back muscles bulging and pupils shrinking. He lay tightly on the cat's eye, watching the tender lamb wrapped in a fragile bath towel, walking towards him ignorantly and a little scared...
Bai Ye couldn't bear it any longer, sizzle -
He suddenly opened the door of the cloakroom and grabbed this disobedient little lamb!
“Hmm!”
Su Yi felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him. Before he could see who was there, a big hand suddenly covered his mouth. Then he was picked up by the waist and carried into the cloakroom!
He kicked and thrashed violently, his muffled cries whimpering around his lips.
"It's me."
A noble and cold voice rang in my ears.
…It’s White Night.
Su Yi stopped struggling and didn't dare to move anymore. He felt that Bai Ye's current state seemed very wrong...
There was a hot breath approaching him... Su Yi shrank his shoulders, but still couldn't escape.
“…It smells so good.”
Bai Ye sniffed again and again like a mad dog. Su Yi was surprised and said:
"You...put me...down...!"
He was so embarrassed. How could Bai Ye change from the cold and cool school idol in high school to what he is today?
Bai Ye clamped him down and snorted:
"Is this the only thing you would say to me? You would obey him even if it meant putting on a bath towel?"
Su Yi felt extremely wronged and a little annoyed. He pushed Bai Ye hard, trying to get out of his arms...
Bai Ye didn't dare to push the man too far, so he let Su Yi go. Unexpectedly, Su Yi struggled so hard that he couldn't stand firmly on the ground...
The bath towel suddenly... loosened!
With a plop, it fell to the ground.
Su Yi felt a gust of cold air blowing across his body.
In contrast to the coldness, there is a scorching hot gaze.
Bai Ye saw that Su Yi was wearing a bridal outfit under the bath towel...
She wore white lace stockings with suspenders, a puffy skirt, a lace corset around her slender waist, a layer of translucent gauze, and large areas of skin on her chest and back that were blindingly white. The only thing she had were thin suspenders tied around her neck.
Where had the nineteen-year-old Bai Ye seen such an outfit before? Suddenly, he received such a strong visual impact at such a close distance, and his brain buzzed!
Two huge balls of evil fire, one rushed up to the top of his head, and the other burned down unstoppably, burning everything along the way! Bai Ye felt that the blood in his body was boiling, and every cell was screaming wildly.
If shame could kill, Su Yi felt that he was already dead. He could not care about anything else but felt the danger. The night before him seemed... to be on fire!
Like a volcano about to erupt, her eyes were red as she stared at him from head to toe...
He looked so ferocious, as if he wanted to eat him alive!
Su Yi was so scared that she turned around to run away, but Bai Ye suddenly grabbed the straps on her back and pulled them over viciously:
"You're fucking going to sleep with him dressed like this?!"
