Chapter 101 Nightmare Community
Xu Zhiyan turned his face away, feeling the scattered kisses on his neck, and couldn't help but persuade.
"This is a good deal, Mr. Bai Jin."
“There are no eternal friends in this world, but there are eternal interests.”
"Compared to a relationship built on love, lust, or body, a relationship built on mutual needs is more stable. You know who I am, and you just need to provide me with enough benefits."
He tried his best to explain his point, but unfortunately all he could hear was the man's heavy breathing.
Xu Zhiyan twisted his body hard a few times, almost turning sideways, before he managed to avoid the kisses, but he felt helpless and impatient because he didn't get a response.
"Stop, stop chewing!"
Damn it, just give me an answer whether it's possible or not.
What responded to him was Bai Jin's low laughter.
Then, Xu Zhiyan felt himself being turned over, and the man's hand lingered on his waist.
"Hey, Bai Jin, I don't think it's wise for you to do this now..."
Xu Zhiyan bit his tongue, trying to keep his mind clear and resolve the crisis through dialogue.
"Are you that scared?"
Bai Jin sighed.
"...Well, well, everyone would be scared, right?" Xu Zhiyan replied through gritting his teeth.
If Bai Jin was just like an ordinary person, Xu Zhiyan felt that he might just accept his bad luck and reluctantly accept his fate. At worst, he would just treat it as being bitten by a dog, and then he could blackmail Party A with the excuse of work injury.
But after he saw that thing, his heart almost stopped just thinking about it.
Can humans really fucking be together with monsters? They will die! They will definitely die at that size!
For the sake of his own life he couldn't agree to it.
For this reason, Xu Zhiyan had to hold on and make the interests clear.
"If you refuse the deal, then as soon as I leave this room, I will immediately walk away. At that time, there will be no human to help you complete your final work, and you will be trapped here for the rest of your life."
"Is it worth it? It's not worth it just for a moment of greed!"
He panted, trying to make his voice sound colder and harder, and spoke loudly.
"Of course, you may meet other people to help you, but I think if the main system finds out that you have recovered your memory, then the final work will definitely not be completed by just any ordinary person. You need someone who can guarantee a 100% success rate."
"Bai Jin, I am very important to you, you need me."
However, in response, Xu Zhiyan also put forward some of his own requirements.
"I need you too, Bai Jin. I need you to recover your strength and save these residents from this hopeless suffering."
Bai Jin looked down from above. Perhaps due to years of lack of exercise and exposure to light, the dark tabletop made the young man's waist look incredibly white. Two shallow dimples on his waist appeared and disappeared as the man beneath him twisted his body vigorously.
It was obvious that Xu Zhiyan was indeed physically exhausted. After being pressed for a while, the skin on his waist began to sweat slightly.
It finally touched his waist again and chose to untie the belt on Xu Zhiyan's hand.
Xu Zhiyan is really smart.
Bai Jin's original plan was to use other benefits to lure Xu Zhiyan to help him complete the final work after something happened.
But it didn't expect that just by speaking out the matter, the important links would be keenly noticed, and it would be turned into a host and used as a bargaining chip.
It does need Xu Zhiyan.
There is only one chance to complete the final work.
This kind of thing that must be guaranteed to succeed at one time would be hard to trust if it were really handed over to ordinary people.
And the 'players' will most likely not enter this house again.
Feeling his hand being released, Xu Zhiyan shook his wrist, knowing that he had made the right bet.
"Bai Jin, working with me is always the best choice." He turned around, breathing heavily, and looked at Bai Jin.
The man had left the table and was leaning back in his chair, looking very casual.
"Cooperating with smart people is indeed a good choice." Bai Jin seemed to be in a good mood and even gave an answer.
Xu Zhiyan smiled and panted for a while, then sat up on the table, tied his belt with trembling hands, and straightened his clothes.
He stretched his arms, which were somewhat uncomfortable from being tied up, and vowed secretly that he would strengthen his physical training after getting out of the dungeon and not be so useless anymore.
Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to just push someone down when they get close to you!
Even if he has props, if the opponent is fast enough, he will not have time to use them.
Gathering his thoughts, Xu Zhiyan touched his chin, looked at Bai Jin, and explained: "Mr. Partner, we need to think carefully about what to do next."
"First I need to know how to complete the final work."
In fact, Xu Zhiyan didn't want to complete this final work from the bottom of his heart. Bai Jin was already difficult enough to deal with now. If the other party got all the power of the entire copy, he would be useless and could only wait for death.
Bai Jin looked at the young man whose face was still a little flushed and who acted in a businesslike manner, and he felt increasingly impatient.
But now is not the time.
It knew very well that Xu Zhiyan definitely didn't want it to become stronger.
But the young man in front of him was not cold-blooded enough. He actually felt pity for the NPCs in the community and tried to save them. For this reason, the other party had to cooperate with him.
Both sides are in a situation where they have to cooperate with the other side, but somewhat reluctantly.
"Why?"
Bai Jin was a little confused.
"Hmm? What why?"
Xu Zhiyan was stunned. He felt that he had made himself very clear.
"Of course it's to overturn the copy. Don't worry that I won't help you. I will definitely..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Jin.
“Why do you want to turn this world upside down?”
Even at the cost of seeking the skin of a tiger.
Bai Jin was unable to understand this approach. Based on his understanding of Xu Zhiyan, if the other party could really put profit above all else, he could maximize his profit by using the final work as a threat or directly communicating with the main system about matters related to him.
"You can obviously get more benefits by blackmailing me."
"Um?"
Xu Zhiyan was speechless. He didn't expect Bai Jin to ask such a question.
Of course he needs to help Bai Jin, because helping Bai Jin is equivalent to helping Party A. Bai Jin's power will eventually be integrated and become the power of the safe house. Now the safe house is at his disposal, and these powers are just like transferring power from left hand to right hand. It would be meaningless to have too much.
But Xu Zhiyan would definitely not answer like this.
As for saving the residents...
He answered casually.
"Because I'm a good person. There aren't many good people like me these days."
Jumping down from the table, Xu Zhiyan walked to the door and fished out the candy given to him by the toothless boss from his coat pocket. He picked out a piece of orange-flavored hard candy in inferior packaging.
Returning to the dining table, Xu Zhiyan lowered his head, tore open the package, reached out to take out the hard candy inside, and held it to Bai Jin's mouth.
The sugar cubes melted at room temperature and felt a little sticky when pinched on the fingertips.
“I just do what I think is right.”
“I don’t need anyone to question why I do this.”
Seeing Bai Jin open his mouth and hold the candy, Xu Zhiyan withdrew his hand and licked his fingertips.
There was still a hint of orange candy sweetness left on it.
He narrowed his eyes, his expression amused.
"The boss paid me, and as an honest businessman, I felt I needed to give him something, like freedom."
Bai Jin held the candy in his mouth and looked down at the young man who was speaking so brazenly, and he felt his chest being filled up again.
It's such an inexplicable and fascinating confidence.
The words from this little liar's mouth are both true and false, and no one can tell which ones are true and which ones are false.
It didn't understand. Xu Zhiyan was just a fragile human, so why did he look so strong and reliable when he said these words?
But Bai Jin felt that he couldn't help but be moved by this passionate and outspoken human being.
At this moment, it felt that it urgently needed something to prove its connection with the person in front of it.
"Before we cooperate, I think I need some compensation." Bai Jin said, staring at the young man who had just licked his fingers.
Xu Zhiyan's heart tightened, fearing that the other party would make some unreasonable demands.
"…What's the reward?"
"Like, a kiss."
This time, Bai Jin's request was simple.
Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Damn, a kiss, he would just treat it as a bite, it's okay! I just hope that after the memory fusion, Party A won't be too seriously socially dead.
He was still thinking about how to deal with the final work. Due to the height difference, Xu Zhiyan hooked his finger at Bai Jin without thinking, forcing the other to lower his head.
He stood on tiptoe, pecked the man's lips like a dragonfly touching the water, and was about to leave.
But the next second, Xu Zhiyan was held in Bai Jin's arms, unable to escape.
Something pried open his teeth and he opened his eyes wide with disbelief on his face.
Bai Jin deepened the kiss from a light kiss that only lasted for a second to a passionate and deep kiss.
…
When he was released, Xu Zhiyan felt that he was a little short of oxygen.
He staggered two steps and sat down on the chair. His face flushed as he looked at Bai Jin, who looked very satisfied. He couldn't help but gave him the middle finger.
Bai Jin licked his lips.
As it looked at the young man's face full of anger and shame, it felt even happier.
However, it was a little worried that if it continued like this, the other party would get angry, so it had to change the subject as soon as possible.
"The final work is already ready. I'll take you to see it."
After saying that, Bai Jin walked to the entrance, took out a pair of slippers, returned to the table, and half-knelt on the ground calmly to change them for Xu Zhiyan.
The slippers Xu Zhiyan was wearing had been kicked away somewhere in the chaos just now.
Xu Zhiyan was so dizzy from being kissed that he barely recovered until he put on his shoes.
He hopped aside like a rabbit, fearing that Bai Jin would touch him again. It turned out that he could never get used to this perverted scene of kneeling down to put on shoes no matter how many times he experienced it!
Bai Jin, who had just been satisfied with a kiss, did not object to this. He went to the secret door downstairs and opened it.
"On the eleventh floor."
"It's just that the door seems to be sealed."
Xu Zhiyan followed him doubtfully.
He went to a place further down the secret door, but it seemed that the construction there was not completed and he still couldn't go down.
This is indeed the case.
When Xu Zhiyan saw Bai Jin standing at the stairs leading downstairs, manipulating countless black blood vessels to forcibly open the stairs leading downstairs, he couldn't help but envy this ability.
After suffering such a huge loss this time, he needs to ask Party A to compensate him with some skills or abilities.
The new passage leads to the eleventh floor.
When Xu Zhiyan reached the twelfth floor, he was shocked by the scene before him.
The entire twelfth floor seemed to be opened up, turning into a whole connected space, but because it was filled to the brim, it looked a bit crowded.
Countless blood vessels are stacked up and wriggling slowly.
It's like the lair of some disgusting, slimy monster.
In addition to the atrophied limbs and heads like those on the upper floor, the black blood vessels here also wrapped around corpses.
Xu Zhiyan followed Bai Jin and recognized that several of the corpses were the ones that Bai Jin had drawn.
"Why do you have to kill them?"
He remembered that Bai Jin had also drawn him before, so it should be no problem to draw him alive.
"They have the power I need, even though it is very weak and contains some mistakes that are resisted by the world."
"But they are essential to completing the final work."
Bai Jin replied calmly.
I don't feel at all that he sounds like a pervert for talking like that.
Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions.
If the final piece was completed, that means Bai Jin should have tried to place it once.
This is not good news for him.
So far, he has not encountered any powerful monsters in this copy, which means that the main system's current requirement for players is to cultivate NPCs well.
He was not sure whether the work had been included in the main system.
If there was, he guaranteed that it would be detected the moment he took the sculpture out of the house.
The main system has not yet dealt with Bai Jin, most likely because of the shielding of the safe house, and may not have discovered the anomaly yet.
The two of them walked through the twelve floors, through the piles of blood vessels, and came downstairs.
But rather than saying this is the eleventh floor, it would be more accurate to say it is the tenth floor.
It is obvious that the owner here directly knocked down the floor of the eleventh floor, connected the entire space, and doubled the height of this floor.
It's much cleaner here than upstairs.
The entire space, whether it is the walls or the floor, is painted with a thick layer of white paint. From a distance, it is difficult to distinguish the levels of the space.
The number of blood vessels is drastically reduced in this layer.
So much so that Xu Zhiyan looked around and felt a little empty.
Bai Jin took him to the center of the eleventh floor, where there was a display stand that looked like a Roman column.
On the table, an enormous heart is beating.
Xu Zhiyan's breath was choked.
He couldn't help but wonder, could this thing be the heart of a ghost?
But he quickly denied the idea.
As I got closer, the 'heart' revealed its true appearance.
This is a huge heart model composed of countless human hearts connected by black blood vessels.
The blood vessels are wriggling, injecting strength into these still beating hearts.
Meeting Xu Zhiyan's gaze, Bai Jin took the initiative to explain without waiting for the other party to ask.
"I need some heart to help me... Well, I don't know if I can explain this feeling to you. I feel like I'm not complete."
It seemed to be thinking of something and seemed a little distressed.
Xu Zhiyan lowered his head and rubbed his face, resisting the urge to sneer.
God damn it's incomplete.
I guess the guy in front of me is just one of the pieces. It would be strange if it could be complete!
Speaking of which, he was really becoming more and more curious, what exactly was the other party and why was he so smart?
Fortunately, Bai Jin didn't dwell too much on these things.
It is a person with ideas.
"Now I need you to help me get this thing to the central tank."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyan's expression became indescribable. He pointed at this huge work composed of at least hundreds of hearts, then pointed at himself and asked back.
"So big? Are you sure? Do you have a plan B?"
He initially thought that Bai Jin would make a sculpture as big as his head, and then he could just carry it over.
The size was definitely beyond my expectations.
Not to mention that he might be hunted down by the main system if he is taken out, it would be a bit difficult for him to carry himself.
Bai Jin was amused by Xu Zhiyan's surprised expression.
"The number of controllable hearts is somewhat related to my control over this world. It seems that I don't need so many at the moment."
Xu Zhiyan still hadn't figured out what this 'you don't need that much' meant.
The next second, some of the weak hearts connected in series inside the huge heart began to explode, and blood splattered all over his face.
"puff--"
“Puff—Puff—”
"puff--"
As more and more hearts were crushed by blood vessels, Xu Zhiyan looked at this nearly three-meter-long work and saw it begin to shrink rapidly.
Soon, the reduction in number reduced the entire big heart to half a meter high.
The entire pure white space was also mostly stained red with blood.
Looking at the blood vessels and heart that were tightly packed together, Xu Zhiyan glanced down at himself and then looked at Bai Jin.
Both of them now looked like they were soaked in blood.
The strong smell of blood rushed into my nose.
Xu Zhiyan felt that he was having trouble breathing.
Although he was in a very miserable state, Bai Jin always had a smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with the feeling of being soaked in blood.
He is indeed a pervert, Xu Zhiyan thought.
Just as he was hesitating about how big a box to find to put this thing, Bai Jin snapped his fingers.
The blood vessels that had just been coiled on the Roman columns rolled up the remaining hearts, slowly climbed down from the stand, and coiled behind the young man.
There was something strange about this sudden feeling of having double the weight on my body.
But when Xu Zhiyan turned his head, he found that these things had hidden themselves the moment they climbed onto his back, and he could not see anything.
He reached out and grabbed a handful.
Very amazing.
I can clearly feel the weight, but I can't touch it.
"How long can this thing stay hidden?" he asked.
Bai Jin shook his head with a cold expression.
"As soon as you go out, you will be discovered."
As he spoke, Bai Jin took Xu Zhiyan's hand, raised it to his lips, and licked the young man's fingertips with his tongue.
Xu Zhiyan shuddered when he was licked.
But he tried to pull his arm out, but couldn't.
This is so perverted, damn!
"It will hurt, just bear with it." Bai Jin said in a low voice.
"Um?"
Before Xu Zhiyan could react, he felt a sharp pain at the fingertips that had just been licked by Bai Jin.
The ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the pain goes straight to the top of the head.
Xu Zhiyan was not someone who could tolerate pain, and the pain came so suddenly that he almost fainted.
Fortunately, just a few seconds later, a strange cold feeling was felt on the wound.
He looked up and saw that Bai Jin had also bitten his finger and pressed their wounds together.
A bad feeling came from the wound. Xu Zhiyan felt something was drilling into his wound, but it was too late to take his hand back.
Thinking of Bai Jin's fighting ability, he could only force himself not to make any futile resistance.
Fortunately, Bai Jin didn't seem to want to control him.
The man noticed the other party's dissatisfaction, reached out and touched the young man's soft hair, and comforted him.
"Your aura can cover up these things and make them undetectable. Don't worry, outside the range of my power, this thing cannot control you."
Soon, this strange fusion of blood vessels ended.
Xu Zhiyan withdrew his hand and found that there was no wound on his fingertips at all, but he could feel a blood vessel that did not belong to him moving at his fingertips.
"How long can this aura be concealed?"
He asked nervously.
The longer the time, the more of Bai Jin's blood vessels remain in his body. If the time is short, it should be easier to deal with.
"Fifteen minutes."
Bai Jin answered.
Xu Zhiyan nodded and said nothing.
Fifteen minutes is not a long time, enough for him to rush from here to the central pool.
When the two returned upstairs, he seemed to have thought of something and asked quietly, "What is the name of this work?"
"The last sweet dream."
Bai Jin's voice came from the dark corridor.
"I gave these people their last beautiful dream, letting them die in a free and beautiful world... But after meeting you, I'm no longer sure whether they are human or data."
When talking about these NPCs that were driven out by the system to be eliminated, Bai Jin's tone did not change at all.
After listening to the cold words, Xu Zhiyan thought for a moment and said worriedly: "But we just crushed a lot of hearts. Will this have any effect on you?"
"The number of hearts I have now is the limit of the world I can control. If there are any fewer, I will lack power and create loopholes, which will leave certain restrictions on me, which will be detrimental to our plan."
When Bai Jin mentioned this, he had something in mind.
But seeing Xu Zhiyan's worried look, it felt that it was overthinking.
"But it's not a big problem. As long as I can finish the final work, I can forcibly close the external channel of this space."
"I understand. Leave it to me."
Xu Zhiyan seemed not to notice Bai Jin's hesitation.
The time has reached half past one.
After returning upstairs, the two took a shower separately to wash away the blood that had just splashed on their bodies.
When Xu Zhiyan came to the living room wiping his hair, Xu Xiaohua was already waiting impatiently with her small schoolbag on her back.
But seeing that the little girl looked like she was about to cry, Xu Zhiyan realized that his plan might not go smoothly...
"In fifteen minutes, the situation here will change. She might have to go to school somewhere else."
Bai Jin smiled and looked at Xu Zhiyan.
The meaning of the words is very clear.
It needs Xu Xiaohua to stay here.
Although it knew that the little girl in front of it was just a task, an NPC, it felt that it had gained more bargaining chips after it discovered that Xu Zhiyan's conscience, although crooked, was not without it.
Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and started laughing.
"Of course, what happens later might not be very safe."
After saying that, he squatted on the ground, looked at the little girl with tearful eyes who was almost crying, and suddenly stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air.
"Look, what is this?"
Xu Xiaohua looked at the thing in her cheap father's hand and replied aggrievedly, "It's a coin."
"That's right!"
Xu Zhiyan put the coin in his other hand, then reached out and touched Xu Xiaohua's head.
The next moment, he took out another coin from the little girl's ear.
"Hey? How did the coin escape from your left hand? Why did it end up behind your ear?"
"Ah? Dad! Coins!"
Xu Xiaohua stared with wide eyes at the coin that was taken out from beside her ear.
Four-year-old children are very easy to fool. After a few actions, Xu Xiaohua seemed to have forgotten about going to school and held the coin with a shocked look on her face.
Seeing that she liked it, Xu Zhiyan did not take the coin back. Instead, he leaned over and whispered a few words to Xu Xiaohua's ear.
Bai Jin stood at the entrance with his arms folded, watching Xu Zhiyan coax the child slowly.
If Xu Zhiyan wants to save the NPC here, he has to cooperate with it.
It felt that it had made all the preparations.
A few minutes later, Xu Xiaohua had gone back to her room to play. Xu Zhiyan didn't say anything more. He changed his clothes and went out.
Before leaving, Bai Jin kissed the young man on the forehead and walked him out the door.
Xu Zhiyan has always behaved very docilely...
Until he came downstairs.
Standing downstairs of Building 167, breathing the cold air of freedom.
Looking up at Bai Jin who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and observing, Xu Zhiyan suddenly laughed twice.
He first gave the upstairs person his middle finger, then in front of Bai Jin, he reached his hand behind his back, as if he was holding something tightly.
"Bang--"
An invisible heart was crushed.
Bai Jin took two steps back, raised his eyebrows and looked downstairs.
The young man wearing the black scarf crushed four hearts in one breath before stopping.
It saw Xu Zhiyan open his mouth and said something to it.
'Mr. Bai Jin, I will finish the final work, but the journey is too difficult and there may be some damage. I hope you don't mind.'
Bai Jin was so angry that he almost laughed.
Xu Zhiyan was really taking a gamble this time. He was betting that as long as the sculpture was completed, it would immediately cut off the connection with this space, but if the power was insufficient, it would still be trapped here for a short time.
Was it true that his previous concern for the residents and children was all fake? Otherwise, why would he be so arrogant once he left?
What’s even more hateful is that this little liar won the bet again this time.
