Chapter 259 Crimson Mirror
The room lights come on.
The slices also returned to their original appearance.
The beautiful woman in a bathrobe had her hair loose and held a cigarette in her hand that she had taken out from somewhere.
After the quick sound of the lighter, the annoying smoke dissipated.
Xu Zhiyan's look of surprise flashed across his face.
As if nothing had happened, he smiled into the phone and said, "Yes, room 3012 needs room service... but it will probably take a while. I'll try to take care of it myself first. If I don't call again after half an hour, send someone up."
It took a long time before someone answered the phone.
"...Okay, I understand. I'm sorry for mistaking you for me."
The young man Bai Jin's voice was full of loneliness.
Xu Zhiyan hung up the phone, suppressed the emotions that had accidentally leaked out, stood up and walked towards the beautiful woman who was smoking.
"Honey, I think we need to talk."
Compared to the young man Bai Jin who was suspected to be assigned to answer the phone, he now has to deal with the guy in front of him.
…
On the hotel rooftop, a huge telescope was standing upright, pointing at the sky.
An astrologer in fancy clothes stood beside his companion.
As soon as Jiang Huaique walked out of the stairs, he met the astrologer's eyes that were calm as he looked back at him.
He paused as he was casually stuffing the business card into his pocket.
He lowered his head, pretending that he hadn't seen it, and planned to turn around and leave the rooftop. Although the astrologer and his companion were NPCs together, they had been here for so long that they must have found all the clues they could. He would not be able to find any useful information if he explored further.
But leaving wasn't as smooth as he had imagined.
Jiang Huaique just turned around and took a step, and suddenly seemed to sense some danger. He immediately tensed his body and summoned his weapon.
There are few people here, and no other NPCs pass by.
The next second, a man in black with a wasp waist and a monkey back appeared at the corner of the stairs in front of him - it was the Joker!
Jiang Huai Que looked at the other party, put away his sickle and replaced it with a dagger.
The action happened in an instant. He had just changed the dagger when the clown in front of him disappeared. He subconsciously turned around to resist.
“clang!”
The flying knife collided with the dagger, creating a faint spark.
After the clown used his skill, he instantly teleported behind Jiang Huaique. The muscles on the arm holding the flying knife were tense. If the opponent had not defended, he might have been injured by now.
No one except the astrologer noticed what was happening here, but even if she did, there was nothing she could do.
Jiang Huaiqie felt his hands were going numb.
He didn't like people who didn't care about the lives of other players.
"I don't want to get involved in your dispute with the Utopia." Jiang Huaique lowered his voice.
But the usually taciturn clown actually laughed.
"You don't know anything now."
"No one can escape this, no one."
His words were ambiguous. Jiang Huaique resisted the urge to curse and asked back with his dagger clenched, "Why don't you change your guild's name to Riddler?"
God knows he has already restrained his sharp-tongued thoughts!
“…”
The Joker was silent for a moment.
But he obviously had more important things to do.
"Go get rid of the NPC next to the astrologer."
"Why?"
Jiang Huai Que rolled his eyes.
Although he is indeed at odds with the Utopia and will inevitably confront Bang Yi one day, he is not an idiot. In the case of a huge disparity in power, taking the initiative to provoke is tantamount to suicide.
He still has time, and he still needs to become stronger.
This kind of behavior of taking sides in the live broadcast room is obviously not very smart.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the clown's other hand took out a postcard from somewhere.
"I'll transfer 100,000 points to Xu Zhiyan."
"I hope you can send someone to take away the NPC next to Alves."
As he said this, he transferred 100,000 points to Xu Zhiyan in front of Jiang Huaique, without any ambiguity.
Jiang Huaizhu's eyes became a little dark.
After the Joker dropped his weapon and stepped back, he staggered two steps, his brows furrowed.
"You...you wait, I'll ask."
…
In room 3012.
They sat at opposite ends of the sofa.
Xu Zhiyan changed his previous passive attitude, reached out and picked up an apple from the table and started peeling it, but his skills were not very good, and the whole apple was peeled with bumps.
"It's not that I don't want to be close to you, but we've been apart for too long, and a lot of things happened when I was raising the child alone. Now I feel... you, um, a little strange. I think we should have a good communication."
He made his voice sound as gentle as possible, as if he could squeeze water out of it.
This tone with a hint of sadness stunned Slice.
It didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Instead, it held the pillow obediently, waiting for its sweet apple.
"What do you want to know?"
Looking up and meeting a pair of beautiful eyes full of confusion, Xu Zhiyan paused, then quickly peeled the apple in his hand and handed it over.
"Let's talk about your business first. Anything is fine. We are husband and wife, right? I want to know more about where you have been these years."
When they first met, he thought the opponent was just a blood entity, but after the second round of confrontation, he felt something was wrong.
The emergence of the small ATM completely clarified Xu Zhiyan’s thinking.
From the moment he started looking for slices, Xu Zhiyan had a clear idea, that is, the slices of ghosts and gods were much stronger than other NPCs in the copy.
They may be suppressed by some rules, but they will not be really suppressed into ordinary NPCs.
In the nightmare community, the main system wanted to extract the power of the blood vessels, and the whole building was vaguely set as a restricted area of the community; in the mermaid cruise ship, the luck of the ghosts and gods was suppressed, but the one who suppressed it was another clone of the slice; not to mention Xiao Tou Ming and Doctor Bai...
In the copy, the system has to pay a considerable price to suppress the slices.
It is nothing but a pipe dream to let the ghost slices play the role of ordinary NPCs and be subject to the same restrictions as other NPCs.
The small ATM is still there, the gender-changing slice in front of it cannot read the memory, it will argue with the hotel NPC, and it needs to follow the rules of most NPCs...
It all points to one thing.
The slice in front of you is most likely not the only slice of blood.
Just now in the messy darkness, when the other party was very excited, he said, 'I feel very confused now, but very satisfied.' If this is really a collection of most of the blood, then it should have a stronger mind.
Therefore, Xu Zhiyan felt that the slice in front of him, which was so beautiful that it did not look like that of an ordinary person, was probably just one of the incarnations of blood.
The woman who received the peeled apple was somewhat happy. She did not answer Xu Zhiyan's words, but ate the apple in her hand bite by bite, and even swallowed the core in the end.
“It’s delicious.”
The turbidity and confusion in its eyes faded away, and it gave feedback solemnly.
Being stared at by the calm Slice, the whole person was drowned in the abnormal love. Xu Zhiyan looked at Slice's beautiful face and realized for the first time that it turned out that having a perfect appearance really works.
If it was a hot-tempered guy who first did this and that to him and then showed a paranoid possessiveness, he would just think that the other person was a complete pervert.
But the slices in front of me are so beautiful.
Putting aside the weird body, just the fact that the other person has such an androgynous face and expresses his love so solemnly, it is very difficult to reject it.
I just want to possess someone because I like them, I want to keep them by my side regardless of life or death, I think my lover likes men so I just change my personality...
These paranoid and strange behaviors, when put on this face, actually have a kind of clear stupidity in them.
Xu Zhiyan touched his chin.
Fortunately, he is not a beauty-obsessed person, otherwise he would have fallen into the hands of the stupid beauty in front of him.
"Tell me about yourself, I really want to know."
Soon, under Xu Zhiyan's deliberately gentle questioning, the slice told all his memories. It was not known whether it was the design of the blood body or a problem with the main system, but the slice in front of him did not have many memories.
"When I woke up, I was told that you were coming and that we would be together from now on."
"The letter in the box is the only thing you left me."
"You like it rough, I know."
"…No, this is a misunderstanding."
After hearing the last part, Xu Zhiyan's mouth twitched.
He finally understood why the slice in front of him looked so strong, but when he met him, it was as if his brain was controlled by the kidney.
No one even added some other past memories to it, it's so dry and shocking.
Just read a letter...
I don’t know why, maybe it was because he had just experienced the plump character of Dr. Bai, but when Xu Zhiyan looked at the beautiful slice of memory in front of him, he actually felt that the other party was also quite unlucky.
She was separated from her true self, forced to have some non-existent memories, and turned into an NPC, with an extra husband.
Oh, cut yourself into pieces like this.
Blood is a real beast.
Xu Zhiyan wanted to ask something else, but before he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a pain in his tongue.
"cough--"
The next second, he spat out a mouthful of blood into his palm.
This is a system warning.
He was afraid that if he continued to ask, the slice in front of him would begin to doubt itself and something detrimental to the copy would happen.
I knew I couldn't ask any more questions.
Xu Zhiyan planned to chat for a while longer and then coax the silly beauty in front of him to go to sleep.
It's much easier if you know that the other party is not very smart.
But before he could open his mouth, the beauty in front of him came over, bent down and licked the blood on his palm.
The hot touch of the tip of the tongue and the stinging pain of the canine teeth scraping across the palm of his hand came at the same time. Xu Zhiyan was at a loss and stood frozen in place, his whole body tense.
Unexpectedly, after licking, the other party did not leave, but gently bit his fingertips.
In the live broadcast room, the audience didn’t understand why this kind of shot had to be blurred.
[Hey! I protest! This is clearly nothing done! ]
[…I can’t do this. I can’t accept this.]
[Wow, wow, wow, me too. Although I like beautiful sisters very much, I become weak when I think that what she takes out is bigger than mine! ]
[You are still too young, isn't this better? ]
【？ ？ ？】
【People can't, or at least shouldn't. 】
[So is there a possibility that this beauty is actually a man, but because he can automatically change his appearance or something, he was captured and pretended to be a woman. ]
[Stop guessing, it's so funny. What I want to know now is what Xiao Baiwan wanted to ask, and he asked it directly. ]
[It should be some illegal questions. After all, his previous questions were normal. Although the answer of the beautiful woman sounded a bit illegal and made people guess the situation, the question of the little millionaire was correct.]
[It may also be because he is afraid that the NPC will say too much, so he simply does not allow the question to be asked. 】
The audience in the live broadcast room had no idea about the ghost slicing. They just thought that Xu Zhiyan's companion was some unlucky NPC who was captured and had his memory forced into him.
After a conversation, Xu Zhiyan looked at the time and found that more than twenty minutes had passed.
"You take a rest first. I feel very confused now and want to be quiet."
He naturally said the scumbag's quotes.
But Slice didn't buy it.
"But I want to be with you."
"I like you, we should be together."
Perhaps it was because she didn't have enough memories, after opening her heart to the strange husband in front of her, the slice was so straightforward that it was hard to resist.
Xu Zhiyan almost choked on his saliva!
He immediately withdrew his hand, took a deep breath to calm himself, and then responded hesitantly.
"I like you too, but I hope you can give me some time."
Seeing the rejection in the other person's eyes, Xu Zhiyan quickly added: "I think it's better to get my heart and my body together than to get my body. I will try my best to get over my previous relationship, so..."
He took Slice's hand, his eyes full of pleading and affection.
"Can you wait for me a little longer?"
Damn, doesn’t this force him to be a scumbag?
Fortunately, there is only one wife in the setting. If there were more, there wouldn’t be enough to share even if he was split into several parts.
The Slice seemed to be bewitched by Xu Zhiyan's sweet words. It nodded subconsciously, leaned over and kissed the young man's cheek, its eyes full of joy.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Xu Zhiyan was completely relieved.
Finally I coaxed her into submission. For the next few days I'll use the excuse of wanting to be alone and bring back some gifts from time to time, and that should be enough to appease her.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
"Bang--"
The waiter, wearing a red uniform and without an identity tag, entered the room in a forceful manner.
"Mr. Xu, is this the room service you ordered?"
The smile on his face slowly faded when he saw the two people leaning against each other on the sofa.
Xu Zhiyan was stunned. That’s not right. It’s not even half an hour yet.
However, since he had already coaxed his 'wife' into submission, he didn't really need other NPCs to suppress her, so he just stroked her. So he smiled at the waiter in front of him, his tone full of apology.
"Sorry, I just ran into a little trouble so I called room service, but it's not needed now."
When Xu Zhiyan noticed that the waiter next to him looked unhappy, he immediately stood up and stood between the two of them to avert their gazes, but he didn't expect the waiter to not buy it.
"If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh."
"ah?"
Xu Zhiyan’s smile froze.
What the hell? Why is this waiter still talking so weirdly? This really saved my life...
He ignored the person in front of him, turned around immediately, picked up the slices on the sofa, and brought them to the bedroom door.
"My dear, you should rest first. I will be back at night, um, before daytime."
Let’s get this one out of here first.
However, Slice looked back at the waiter and sneered: "I think my lover's smile is very beautiful." As he said that, he lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of Xu Zhiyan's lips.
When it turned to talk to the young man, its voice returned to its previous gentleness and was full of joy.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
"After all, I'm not like some guys who are so rude, don't even knock on the door, and are rude and ugly."
The waiter was no less polite.
"In my opinion, it is more despicable to rely on past affection to continue the relationship."
"Heh, it's better than a rat in the gutter staring at other people's husbands..."
“…”
Xu Zhiyan was caught in the middle, stammering and unable to speak.
What's going on? Why is the atmosphere in the room so weird? He initially thought that the enthusiastic NPC in the hotel would think he was a scumbag, so the sarcasm was to remind Slice to get a divorce quickly.
But now these two guys are going back and forth, neither of them giving in, and it sounds more like they are fighting each other.
"Uh... well, I think—"
As soon as Xu Zhiyan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by two people who were mocking each other.
"Mr. Xu, this has nothing to do with you."
"My dear, don't you want to be alone? Please go out first."
“…Okay, okay.”
Xu Zhiyan was confused. He shrank his neck and tiptoed to the door. After answering in a low voice, he immediately ran away.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was almost dying of laughter.
[My God, what kind of infinite Shura field is this! ]
[Ah? So the waiter also likes Xiao Baiwan? What's going on?]
[At first I thought the waiter spoke in a shady way because Xiao Baiwan was a scumbag, but it seems that’s not the case? ]
[U1S1, Xiao Baiwan’s mouth is so bad, coupled with his face, when he is coaxing people with deep affection, it is really too easy for people to believe it! ]
[When he said 'I like you too', it was absolutely amazing! ]
[I am the only one who admires Xiao Baiwan. How could he lie to such a beautiful woman?! ]
[Oh, so why did Xiao Baiwan run away? I really want to know what happened to the waiter and his wife in the end, whether they had a fight.]
Xu Zhiyan’s departure took away the live broadcast camera.
The audience lamented that they could not see the sequel of Shura Field.
Yet some people can see it.
The top floor of the hotel.
The entire floor here was opened up to become an extra-large room.
The dome ceiling structure is hung with beautifully carved crystal chandeliers, and the church-like painted dome is dazzling at first glance.
However, it is not the same as the luxurious upper part.
There was no furniture in the room on the top floor, and there was a pool of blood under the dome.
In the steaming pool of blood, golden sculptures of various sizes and shapes stood around, and more blood spurted out from the sculptures' mouths, looking grotesque and sticky.
A red-haired man in a red bathrobe was lying by the pool.
He didn't open his eyes, but just frowned with a unhappy expression, as if he had encountered something incomprehensible.
After a while, he stood up and stretched, holding two eyeballs in his open palm, one black and one gold.
The blood in the pool rolled up two mirrors and stood in front of the man.
He stuck his eyeballs into the groove under the mirror, and in the blink of an eye, two pictures appeared in the two cloudy mirrors.
The beautiful woman is fighting with the waiter in red.
The battle was fierce, blood splattered on the wall, but was quickly collected...
The man pinched the bridge of his nose.
The next second, Xu Zhiyan's face appeared in the two mirrors.
"Out of control...why?"
"Why do all parts that come into contact with this human go out of control?"
He stared into the mirror and talked to himself.
The young man in the mirror had successfully left 3012 and was about to meet up with his teammates who were guarding 3045.
The dim light in the corridor outlined the young man's delicate facial features. His eyes were very clean and bright, without a trace of concealment or confusion, and were different from any person the man had ever met.
For some reason, he actually found the other person damn charming...
Suddenly, he looked down at his hands with a serious expression, and began to doubt himself: "Am I sick?"
“Crash——”
Blood surged, and another mirror was sent over.
This time, the mirror showed a narrow, dim room. There was only a palm-sized window at the top of the high wall on the far side of the room, which let in some light.
There was only one chair and a table in the room with a telephone on it.
This time, Master Bai, who was wearing wrinkled clothes, did not sit at the table, waiting for the phone that had not rang for several days.
The boy curled up in a dark corner, not knowing what he was thinking.
The man who looked exactly like a ghost had to pay some attention to look at the third mirror. The atmosphere inside was completely different from the two mirrors that Xu Zhiyan saw.
“…Damn it.”
"Why would there be such an out-of-control guy who is unwilling to share his memories?"
The man frowned, his expression becoming increasingly unhappy.
He only remembered that he should have had some interaction with the young man with a teardrop mole under his eye, but as the original body, the fact that the memories he originally obtained were stolen by the out-of-control blood was not something worth talking about.
But soon, as if he heard something interesting, he shifted his gaze to the mirror reflecting Xu Zhiyan's figure.
The youth is looking for the whereabouts of the hotel operator.
A sudden bold idea came to his mind. This would be interesting, he thought.
…
"Yu Xiu, give room service another call."
Finally arrived at 3045 smoothly.
Just now in the room, under pressure, Xu Zhiyan did not admit who he was. Now he immediately asked Yu Xiu to call again.
He wanted to know the coordinates of the small ATM.
He wanted to know where the young master whose heart and eyes were filled with him was.
However, before Yu Xiu finished the call, Xu Zhiyan received a call for help from Jiang Huaique.
[Jiang Huai Que: Xu Ba Pi, have you received the 100,000 points from the clown? He gave us 100,000 points so that we can lure away the NPCs around the astrologer...]
[Jiang Huai Que: Will this have any impact on you? ]
Now all players in the game know that the Pope hunted down Xu Zhiyan, and that the Pope was originally supposed to be a member of the Utopia.
Xu Zhiyan lowered his head, looked at the content above, his eyes lit up, and he immediately went back for a solution.
[Xu Zhiyan: Don’t panic, this is business that has come to you on its own initiative, but to be honest, it’s not ideal to offend Utopia for 100,000 yuan. Go ask the astrologer to see if she is willing to offer a higher price.]
[Xu Zhiyan: If she is willing to pay double to keep this NPC, then you can take the money and return the clown's money.]
[Sophora japonica:...6]
【Jiang Huai Que: Have you ever considered that the clown might slap me on the spot?】
Jiang Huaique’s collapse can be seen from the message he received. Xu Zhiyan thought about it for a moment and felt that it was the same?
[Xu Zhiyan: Boy, I believe you can run away, or you can just ask the clown if he is willing to pay double. After all, after helping us this time, we will really be facing off against the No. 1 guy on the list.]
Just then, Yu Xiu called back.
"Brother Xu, the room service has changed people. They said the connection point is near the top floor. Do you want to go check it out later?"
Xu Zhiyan closed the guild dialogue panel and hesitated about the time.
