Chapter 74 Nightmare Community
Thinking of his dog training plan, Xu Zhiyan did not give Xinan a good look.
He watched everything that happened downstairs with cold eyes.
The player who was dismembered by the sharp blade died slowly and eventually lost his breath.
And some strange changes are happening to the dead body.
The cut flesh kept changing shape and became a pool of transparent liquid. Finally, even the remaining body, including the skeleton, turned into water stains.
This scene made Xu Zhiyan feel a little sick.
But when I thought about the person who was killed by Xinan when the players gathered in the afternoon, he did not look like this.
He roughly judged that turning into water was one of the skills of the victim player.
Maybe the other party can escape?
Xu Zhiyan withdrew his thoughts and looked at the silver-haired young man again.
The other person's expression was a little... shocked?
Why this expression?
Are you shocked to see him, or are you shocked to see players living in high-rise mansions?
No, it's not possible.
As soon as this thought came out, Xu Zhiyan rejected it.
A mad dog who will kill people at random won't be shocked by the small matter of 'seeing him'.
That means there are other unexpected things happening here that the murderous mad dog cannot understand.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan touched his chin and thought for a moment, then pulled the curtains shut.
Although he is physically weak, he still has a basic sensitivity to dangerous things. Xinan would never make this expression for no reason.
But the place where the other party was looking was near him.
In other words, this "accident" must be within these layers.
The other floors were not decorated and had no electricity. Bai Jin's room was at the other end.
Xu Zhiyan looked up at the light that was emitting a faint orange glow and sighed deeply.
Since the abnormality was not in other places, it meant that Xinan must have seen the "accident" in his room, which was why he had this expression.
This feeling of a strange presence in the room wasn't a good one.
Xu Zhiyan was constantly calculating in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He turned on the TV, sat cross-legged, and casually changed the channels.
The comments on the forum started to worry about him.
【Ahhhhh help! 】
【Little Millionaire, run! 】
[Oh shit, this is a haunted house. Damn, it's too scary. ]
[Wow, I just went to the Mad Dog live broadcast room and took a look. It's so disgusting. I hate this kind of humanoid monster the most.]
【Fortunately I am nearsighted】
[Xiao Baiwan is still watching TV! ? ]
[Hey, hey, hey! Why aren't the monsters in the room taking action...]
【I thought he would ask Mad Dog what he saw! 】
[…The cup is moving! ]
In the picture, the water cup in the corner of the TV cabinet suddenly moved.
However, the young man who was watching TV did not react at all, and just changed the channels with an indifferent expression.
Xu Zhiyan glanced at the water cup and saw that it was constantly moving outwards, as if a hand was quietly pushing it outwards.
Now he was sure that the things that shocked Xinan were in the room.
But the other party did not touch him.
This strange creature, let's just say it's a living creature, not only didn't touch him, but instead chose to push the water cup?
Xu Zhiyan sneered.
I suddenly remembered what Bai Jin said when we parted at night.
'I don't lock my door at night'
That’s it?
Just because of this little reaction, you want him to knock on the door in the middle of the night?
“Crash——”
The cup of water fell over and rolled onto the carpet.
The corners of Xu Zhiyan's mouth twitched.
If he really was a simple little lamb, he might really be frightened.
But he has made up his mind to let the ashes air out tonight.
"Oh, the wind is so strong that it even blew the cup over. No wonder there was such a loud noise in the corridor just now."
Xu Zhiyan got out of bed reluctantly, with an exaggerated expression and slow movements. He slowly picked up the empty cup that had fallen on the carpet and even poured himself a glass of water.
After drinking the water, he returned to bed as if nothing had happened.
It was past one in the morning and there weren't many programs to watch on TV.
He held the remote control and pressed it for five minutes before he found a wildlife documentary that was barely watchable.
It is also winter in the picture, and several big white cats are hunting.
After finding a good show, Xu Zhiyan turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a night light on.
But just when he turned his back to the TV and turned on the light, the sound coming from the TV program suddenly changed!
A never-before-discovered channel appeared on the screen.
【D1E】
The TV started playing a black and white movie.
This is a horror movie.
The red plasma is presented in black and white, and many places have turned into a thick black, blurred together, making people feel physically uncomfortable.
Xu Zhiyan frowned.
No way? Such an old-fashioned method?
Why does this guy here think he's afraid of these things?
I looked up at the watch and it was only half past one.
I knew that if I didn’t come up with something, I wouldn’t be able to sleep today.
Xu Zhiyan pondered for a moment and took out a small bottle from his system backpack.
The system panel popped up the moment he took out the bottle.
[Special copy props detected, do you want to convert them into special props in this copy? 】
He decisively chose yes.
The next second, the snake tears that had been collected by the night fishermen reappeared with a new name.
[Name: Wrong Tears (formerly Snake Tears)]
[Level: None]
[Type: Special]
[Introduction: A special tear that can see spirits, but since there are no spirits in this instance, a nightmare area will be adapted for you.]
【Notes: Apply on the eyelids for 30 minutes each time. 】
Some unique items in dungeons can be transformed under special circumstances, but the cost is very high.
The snake tears that could have been used more than a dozen times now only have the bottom of the bottle left.
Xu Zhiyan looked at the tears that could only be used three or four times and sighed.
It's better to have something than nothing.
However, the name of this transformed substance is a bit strange.
Wrong tears?
This 'mistake' inevitably made him think of the reward he had always received.
The right time.
Why should the reward be called the right time? He had also encountered this statement in the blind school.
But at that time he had mistakenly entered the past, so the system kept reminding him to return to the correct time as soon as possible.
Here, players must work, find and complete tasks in order to get enough of the right time.
Unable to figure out the reason, Xu Zhiyan stopped making things difficult for himself.
He took out the small bottle, put a little on his fingertips, and applied it on his right eyelid.
There isn't much stuff, so we have to save it.
Just wipe one eye!
Xu Zhiyan sat at the head of the bed, waited for a while with his eyes closed, and after making sure that his right eye should be able to see something strange, he slowly opened his eyes.
He just glanced at his feet, without even turning his head to look at the TV cabinet, and he froze instantly.
The place under my feet that was originally a soft blanket was now covered with black things that looked like blood vessels.
These blood vessels are wriggling, as if they are transporting some nutrients.
And some monsters with strange limbs are emerging from these black pipes, like huge deformed tumors, terrifying and grotesque.
The entire room was almost filled with blood vessels.
Xu Zhiyan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this.
The monster next to the TV cabinet was still trying to dig out the drawer. The back half of the bed, where he had just been, was covered with black blood vessels like a strange slime mold.
A baby-sized hand was poking at the remote control.
Xu Zhiyan closed his right eye.
The guest bedroom in the left eye is still warm and normal.
He took a deep breath and lay back on the bed.
There were also winding black blood vessels on the ceiling, which kept wriggling, making people's sanity drop wildly.
Xu Zhiyan now somewhat wants to knock on Bai Jin's door.
But this thought only appeared.
The perverted painter who is suspected to be the BOSS is now most interested in him and can't wait to draw his appearance.
But Xu Zhiyan has "appreciated" the paintings in the living room.
All the protagonists in the painting are dead.
In other words, this perverted painter's hobby is not living people, but he will most likely kill his target and then paint the most desperate scene of his prey before his death.
If he wants to gain benefits here, he must be different.
Only by delaying the other party's satisfaction and keeping this pervert hanging can you gain greater benefits.
Tonight is the night that Bai Jin is most looking forward to.
If he just let it go and satisfied the other party, then the docile lamb he played would be just a lamb.
But Xu Zhiyan's goal goes far beyond that.
He blinked, looked at the blood vessels, and muttered.
"It's human nature to be a jerk."
“What you can’t get is the best.”
Only when Bai Jin's expectations are repeatedly dashed and expectations of him are raised to the highest, and then I start from small things and satisfy his needs bit by bit, will he be treated more carefully.
Xu Zhiyan turned over and stretched out his hand.
He couldn't help laughing as he watched the slime mold-like blood vessels shrink back in an instant.
Those bright eyes were filled with a confusing desire to win.
Just a monster!
Then let him try and see who will lose patience first between him and Bai Jin.
After making sure that these monsters didn't dare to really touch him, Xu Zhiyan jumped out of bed.
He first unplugged the TV, then threw all the easily movable things on the table onto the ground, then turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for bed.
Before closing his eyes, he thought of Xinan's shocked expression and suddenly felt very sorry.
A good businessman should be good at utilizing all available resources.
A mad dog is mad.
But not talkative.
It would be great if the magician with the big mouth saw it, then he could use the monsters in this room to gain benefits!
No, I have to find an opportunity to let He Zui come and see the things in his room.
Xu Zhiyan, who was constantly calculating in his mind, didn't know that his live broadcast room was like a tornado passing through.
It turned out that the live broadcast room was updated just after he used the teardrop to see things.
[It is detected that the player Xu Zhiyan has turned on the two-way vision. The live broadcast room is being upgraded for you. I wish you a happy viewing. 】
【Upgrade completed.】
The next second, the field of vision that originally filled the screen was split in half.
The players who were watching were caught off guard, and some even threw their phones away!
[Help...what is this?]
[Ugh, this split screen is killing me, this is the first time I've discovered that I get 3D sickness! ]
[Hey, this isn't 3D. You're just a dizzy monster.]
[…Shit, so the main system is equivalent to grafting Xiao Baiwan's vision onto us? ]
[So who can tell me! Why is Xiao Baiwan so calm! ! ]
[You can fall asleep like this? You can fall asleep like this? You can fall asleep like this…]
[What should I say? As expected of a small millionaire? Ugh——]
[Is it possible for someone to sleep surrounded by so many monsters? ]
[Speaking of which, why didn't Xiao Baiwan use the potion to stay up late this time? ]
[It takes 30 days, and it takes four tubes to get through it all. It's too expensive! He is so stingy.]
Everyone in the barrage chatted as they looked at the young man who had already fallen asleep in the center of the screen.
And opposite the guest bedroom.
Bai Jin took off his glasses and put them on the table beside him, sat on the sofa in the master bedroom, and picked up a book at random.
He looked at the black and white text on it and felt bored.
My mind was filled with the images of the young men in the guest bedroom.
Chest, waistline, calves...
There were still many places he hadn't checked.
Just wait till tonight.
As he thought about it, Bai Jin couldn't help but turn the book aside and looked towards the door with a faint smile.
Tonight he wanted to slowly check whether the exposed parts covered by clothes were as perfect as he imagined.
Of course, the mouth, teeth, and tongue cannot be spared...
One hour later.
Bai Jin's smile was a little stiff.
No knock?
Didn’t the monsters in the guest bedroom obey his orders?
But thinking of the timid nature of the new prey, Bai Jin was not in a hurry. The other party might be afraid of disturbing him, so it has been patient.
But another hour passed.
Still nothing happened.
Glancing at the watch, it was already past three in the morning.
Bai Jin couldn't sit still any longer.
He stood up and walked around the room twice, wondering what had gone wrong.
Guest bedroom, soft big bed.
Xu Zhiyan was sleeping soundly, counting money in his dream, when he suddenly felt something lifting his quilt and pulling his ankle.
He felt as if the real gold and silver in his dream were leaving him, and he was dragged into the abyss by the black blood vessels!
The sweet dream suddenly turned into a nightmare!
This frightened Xu Zhiyan awake.
He sat up, looked at the quilt being dragged away by the air, with a ferocious expression, he snatched it away and roared viciously.
"If you disturb my sleep, I will strike you with thunder!"
"Who is this idiot who's pulling my blanket? If you're so awesome, why don't you get up the next day to deliver food for me? Don't you know how hard it is to be a worker? What kind of idiot is so ignorant?"
Anyway, these monsters don’t dare to really touch him.
After cursing, Xu Zhiyan fell down, wrapped himself like a silkworm cocoon, and fell into a deep sleep again.
The next day, sunlight shone through the window.
The fragmented light hit the curled eyelashes of the sleeping young man, making him frown.
Just then the alarm clock rang.
Xu Zhiyan yawned and sat up, telling himself that he was in a dungeon and he had to stay alert.
He didn't know if it was because he didn't sleep well, but he felt a headache.
But he still remembered the experience of the system panel jumping up and down when he was sleeping last night, so he could only check his own panel first.
My mental strength has dropped a lot.
[Name: Xu Zhiyan]
[Status: Mental depression]
[Spiritual Threshold: 0-71]
[Current Spirit: 45]
[Features: Greedy]
It seems that if you touch some of the invisible monsters in this room, your spirit value will be reduced, but the amount dropped each time is not much, only 0.1 point.
He had let these monsters touch him freely all night, so he had lost so much.
Quickly replenish spirit.
Xu Zhiyan got up and washed as usual.
When he went down the stairs to room 1402, he saw Xu Xiaohua drooling and leaning against the kitchen door with a conflicted expression, feeling both afraid and greedy.
The delicious aroma of food is coming out of the kitchen.
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help swallowing as he listened to the sizzling sound of the oil burning when it came into contact with the heat.
He still remembers the agreement between him and Bai Jin.
Xiaohua and I cooked and cleaned in exchange for residency.
It was not yet eight o'clock, and Xu Zhiyan had originally planned to go downstairs to deliver an order of breakfast takeout, and then buy some food upstairs.
But he thought again and felt it made sense.
This kitchen is filled with all kinds of precious ingredients, many of which Xu Zhiyan has only eaten a few times in this life.
If the owner of the room couldn't cook, how could he have collected so many ingredients?
This cleared up Xu Zhiyan's doubts and confirmed the fact that Bai Jin was indeed the owner of Room 1402.
In the kitchen, a barefoot man wearing an apron was cooking.
Seeing Xu Zhiyan coming, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but gently pointed to the dining table on the other side of the kitchen.
"Awake? It's time to get ready for dinner."
"OK!"
Xu Zhiyan nodded, not being polite at all.
He picked up Xu Xiaohua who was clinging to the door, found a box to raise the seat a little, and let Xu Xiaohua sit down.
Sizzling pan-fried lamb chops, seafood rice made with palm-sized shrimps and mussels, and mushroom soup with a milky aroma...
Xu Zhiyan secretly gave Bai Jin a thumbs up and couldn't help but think of the beautiful vase in the old house.
This slice can draw, and so can Party A in the old house. So does that mean that Party A can actually cook?
Maybe he was afraid that Xu Zhiyan would wait too long.
Bai Jin brought another small plate of baked dessert and said they could eat first.
Xu Zhiyan felt that eating first was not in line with his personality, so he shook his head and wanted to refuse.
But Xu Xiaohua couldn't help it anymore.
A four-year-old little monster... it's the time when children grow up!
When she heard her father wanted her to wait, she burst into tears.
“Dad, Dad… I! I’m starving to death! If I don’t get food within one minute, I’m really going to die.”
However, Xu Zhiyan will not spoil the human cub just because of his status.
He looked at Xu Xiaohua who had already started to cry, smiled and shook his head, and when his daughter thought she was going to succeed, he slowly uttered cold words.
"Xu Xiaohua, humans won't die within a minute without food, you——"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Because the task panel popped up.
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the parent-child mission! ]
[Mission: Feed your daughter immediately]
[Reward: Correct time (0.5h)]
[Reward: Fatherly Love +5]
[Note: Your daughter has been hungry all night and can no longer bear it.]
[Tip: It won't die if it doesn't eat, but it will change its state. ]
"…You, you should eat a couple of bites first."
Xu Zhiyan changed his words awkwardly.
He gave Bai Jin an apologetic smile and quickly grabbed an apple from the table next to him and stuffed it into Xu Xiaohua's mouth.
"You eat first, and then we can eat when everyone is here."
My current identity is a polite single dad, but I’m not a naughty parent raising a naughty child!
Glancing at the half-hour income, Xu Zhiyan felt that there was nothing wrong with eating fruit.
Bai Jin looked at the interaction between the father and daughter and couldn't help but smile.
He carried a plate and slowly walked to Xu Zhiyan's table. He picked up a piece of steaming apple pie from the plate and handed it to the young man.
"If we both have eaten first, she can eat it, right?"
What a polite prey.
He likes it more and more.
Xu Xiaohua ate an apple while looking at her cheap father with expectant eyes.
As long as dad eats, she can start eating too!
Two to one.
Xu Zhiyan was cornered.
He glanced at the still steaming pie and felt like taking a bite might burn his tongue.
But men's attitudes became more and more assertive over time.
Xu Zhiyan could only steel himself, carefully opened his mouth, and bit off a little bit of the crust from the edge.
Good, I didn’t get burned!
There was nothing strange on the corner of his mouth, which gave this pervert an opportunity to touch his mouth.
Xu Zhiyan, who thought he had taken a perfect bite, whispered, "Okay, I've eaten it."
A light laugh came from above.
He looked up and saw Bai Jin taking the apple pie that had just been handed to him, and took a big bite from the part of the crust that he had just bit off.
The only sound in the silent kitchen was the man chewing food.
Xu Zhiyan felt uncomfortable being stared at.
The other person was obviously eating, but his eyes were always on him, moving along his body.
Only after he had eaten a piece of apple pie did Bai Jin wipe his hands with a feeling of unsatisfied taste.
“Just as delicious as I thought.”
There was something strange in his voice, as if he was enduring something.
Xu Zhiyan withdrew his gaze, and his heart was in turmoil.
Too perverted!
This is so fucking perverted!
He thought a normal pervert would just reach out and touch, wipe the corners of his mouth or something like that.
Unexpectedly, although Bai Jin didn't touch him, his gaze was like a thorn in his flesh, almost stripping him naked. It was too scary.
After cursing in his heart, Xu Zhiyan adjusted his mentality and his expression returned to normal.
After Bai Jin brought some more food, the warm breakfast time finally began.
Xu Xiaohua had never seen such a market before.
He ate madly, and his fear of Bai Jin was suppressed by hunger.
Xu Zhiyan was chatting with Bai Jin in a random manner, and couldn't help but glance at his favorability which was growing wildly.
【Father's Love +2】
【Father's Love +2】
【Father's Love +1】
【……】
He looked at it carefully.
It turns out that eating meat will increase your favorability by 2 points.
Although he didn't know what the use of Xu Xiaohua's favorability was, he planned to find an opportunity to clear out Kong Jin's refrigerator.
After all, with his meager salary, it is too difficult to feed his children with meat.
Just when Xu Zhiyan thought that breakfast was finally over successfully, the man opposite him spoke lightly.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Xu Zhiyan lowered his head, thinking that it had finally arrived.
“Not very good.”
He pursed his lips and answered in a low voice, his expression somewhat distressed, as if he had thought of something bad.
"I have been having nightmares at night. In my dreams, someone is snatching my quilt."
Tilting his head, Xu Zhiyan pretended to be ignorant of the world and really didn't notice the monster.
Bai Jin stared at the young man for a while.
It was as if he had confirmed that the other party was indeed unaware of the existence of the monster, so he stopped.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, Xu Zhiyan's cell phone buzzed.
[The order-taking assistant is serving you...]
He glanced at it casually without reading the content carefully, and waved his phone at Bai Jin and Xu Xiaohua.
"I'm going to work."
"You two wait for me at home."
Looking at Xu Xiaohua's suddenly drooping face, Xu Zhiyan shook his head secretly.
If he didn't leave Xu Xiaohua here as a hostage, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of this door.
Before leaving, Bai Jin followed again.
As usual, he wrapped the scarf around the young man, but it was a little tighter than last night.
"I'll wait for you at home."
"With your daughter."
The man had a smile on his face, but his eyes behind the glasses were becoming increasingly cold.
Xu Zhiyan smiled and nodded.
He didn't stop smiling until he walked out the door.
A little dangerous.
Why does it feel like this pervert can’t hold it any longer?
