Chapter 294 Safe House
In order to fulfill his beautiful wish of sleeping with a cat in his arms as soon as possible, Xu Zhiyan stuffed the cat back into the room and took the initiative to look for ghosts.
It's getting dark, and it's urgent to renovate the yard.
Soon, he found Party A sitting on the sofa in the lobby with a stern face in deep thought.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Xu Zhiyan always felt that the ghosts and gods were a little restrained today. They didn’t even look at him when they handed him the things in their hands.
He had already made up his mind to keep the matter of the cat a secret, but the ghost had never expected that the treatment of the white cat would be so...unexpected.
Even with the buffer time, it was still difficult for him to show the same calmness as before.
He knew clearly that he was not the gentle ghost god that Xu Zhiyan imagined. Although he had lost all his memories, his fanatical fighting spirit and tearing power indicated that he might have nothing to do with gentleness.
An inexplicable strange atmosphere filled the room. Asa handed over the report he had just submitted and took the initiative to explain.
[Mr. Xu, good evening. These data were obtained from the wild system. There is a picture with a lot of information.]
Xu Zhiyan lowered his head and looked at the things in his hand.
As soon as I turned to the second page, I saw the top of the points tower with the names of ghosts and gods printed on it.
The completely unexpected content made him instantly forget the plan to modify the yard, and his slightly trembling pupils showed his shock.
"...Bai Jin?"
What's going on! He was sure that among the players who had reached the top, no one was called Bai Jin.
Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips, his brain thinking rapidly.
Thinking about it carefully, the Crimson Mirror copy brought him too much information, so that after connecting all the contents together, it was quite shocking.
He took a few pieces of thin paper and simply sat on the low table in front of the sofa so that he could be closer to Party A.
"In fact, I have been wondering how the out-of-control system got so many abandoned worlds."
He has blown up many copies, but no matter whether it is the Blind School or the Night Fisherman, the final outcome of these copies is closure, rather than collapse and destruction.
As for the abandoned worlds known so far, every one of them looks like it has been abandoned for at least a hundred years.
"Putting aside the names on the picture, with this picture, we can basically be sure that in addition to the current round, there may have been a previous round, or even the round before that."
He stroked his chin, his expression relatively calm.
"But looking at it this way, the previous rounds of games did not end well."
Because he had actually faced the slicing of ghosts and gods, Xu Zhiyan did not make any assumptions such as "ghosts and gods are human beings". His initial expectation was slicing.
"After getting the first place, this number one still couldn't get out of the game."
Ghosts still exist in safe houses.
He still remembered the first time he came to the old house in Yunshan, a dilapidated and leaky old house full of divine and ignorant ghosts and gods.
If this slice that could be number one on the list really got any benefit, would the ghosts and gods be in such a state?
"So I'm more inclined to think that the game went on for many rounds."
This seems to be consistent with what the ghosts and gods have shown before. They have experienced a longer life than ordinary humans. The existence time of the Yunshan old house cannot be explored. I am afraid we can only know it after the ghosts and gods recover all their memories.
Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips, a hint of doubt in his voice.
"What is the purpose of the main system? What is the meaning of this game?"
Without strong resentment and hatred, without unbearable desires and expectations, ordinary and simple players are just pulled into the game, and the mortality rate can be imagined.
"Tsk, but I haven't seen any reports of excessively high accidental mortality rates in recent years."
After thinking about it to no avail, Xu Zhiyan simply stopped thinking about it.
The topic of games dispelled the previous slight awkwardness, and Asa also gave a summary of the period.
[I will continue to follow up on the content of the wild system, and will report in time if there is any new news. By the way, Mr. Xu, have you thought about what you will use it for after the World Heart is completed? ]
Asa is very sensible.
Although it was not sure what happened between the ghost and Xu Zhiyan, it felt that as a qualified system, it needed to adjust the atmosphere to a relaxed and happy one.
This topic is obviously more interesting than the information in the previous round of games.
"Of course it has developed into a whole new world. If I become the savior, will my physique change?"
Xu Zhiyan's physique has always been a highly discussed topic.
He has an average physique and seems very weak in the dungeon, but because he has a wealth of props and a flexible mind, other players are reluctant to target him. But if you really break it down, his physical shortcomings do exist.
Asa is stuck.
【……】
Damn, the first topic to liven up the atmosphere was knowledge blind spots.
Fortunately, the ghosts and gods spoke in time.
“It will improve.”
His voice was the same as always, with no emotion in it.
"You will be connected to the spirit of that world. Unless that world is destroyed, you will become an immortal being."
Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment and then suddenly came to his senses. He exclaimed, "What a wonderful description. I like it very much."
This is much more exciting than winning 50 million in the lottery!
However, the knowledge of ghosts and gods is indeed very tricky. Xu Zhiyan suppressed the corners of his mouth and imagined for a while, then crossed his legs and asked: "Have you recovered any memories?"
Now that I can answer the question just now, I should have recovered a little.
The ghost's breathing suddenly quickened.
“…very little,” He replied.
He couldn't control his thoughts. Even though he knew that Xu Zhiyan's question was just a routine inquiry into the progress, he suddenly thought of what the other party said about the blood.
"If I regain all my memories and see a wider world, I will still make the same choice..."
He really wanted to say that his memory was also full of Xu Zhiyan’s shadow.
Seeing that the ghost had indeed not recovered much of his memory, Xu Zhiyan did not dwell on it. He clapped his hands and spoke with a smile.
"Let's change the yard."
He was very grateful for Party A's maintenance of him, but if the yard was really made ugly because of him, he would firmly disagree!
As if afraid that the ghosts and gods would disagree, he leaned forward slightly and spoke solemnly.
"You change it this time,"
"In exchange, I hope to see something you're used to seeing."
Well, the aesthetic taste of ghosts and gods is online, so it should be safe now.
At worst, let the client replicate the painter's architectural work. How bad can it be?
Under Xu Zhiyan's expectant gaze, the ghost slowly raised his head.
"Are you sure?"
Surely you want… something He sees often?
"Sure!"
Hearing Xu Zhiyan's decisive answer, the ghost was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed towards the courtyard.
In the dim sunset scene.
The spacious courtyard of the Yunshan old house has undergone tremendous changes.
The color and shape of the flat ground changes first.
The concrete floor turned into a low-saturation flesh-red color, and pieces of it bulged slightly, as if they had become some kind of living thing; the sky was still bright, but suddenly blood rain fell; in the corners and cracks, something was hiding in the shadows...
Xu Zhiyan felt as if his throat was strangled and he couldn't speak for a long time.
He has a memory of this scene.
This was the scene shown by the other party when he provoked the ghosts and gods for the first time.
...Damn, he wasn't careful enough with his words!
But why did the ghost often see such a SAN-destroying picture before? This is not right!
The monsters were stunned.
The safe house system that had been waiting anxiously nearby was also stunned.
[Help, I now think from the bottom of my heart that the courtyard that the host built earlier is very beautiful! ! Halloween has long passed, it is not appropriate to use this scene now! ]
Its roar was rarely recognized by Asa.
Xu Zhiyan also coughed lightly, and couldn't help but stretch out his toes to touch Party A, and spoke in a low voice.
"I thought your aesthetics would be very, very high-end."
God knows that's what he thought!
"When you originally sculpted Wenquan, it wasn't this... fierce." He chose his words carefully.
The ghost pursed his lips and shook his head.
The next second, the weird chaos in the courtyard began to fade away, and a plant-decorated building complex that matched the style of the main house rose from the ground. The wooden frames wrapped with vines and the pointed glass houses looked gentle and beautiful.
"I misunderstood."
He took the blame for the mistake.
After Xu Zhiyan finished speaking, He was a little hesitant as to whether to show some of the scenes that He had seen over a long period of time.
But sharing some memories with your loved one sounds like a wonderful thing.
Xu Zhiyan was not the kind of person who made trouble for no reason. When he heard Party A say this, he inexplicably felt that the other party was a bit pitiful. Seeing that the renovation of the yard was just halfway done, he subconsciously grabbed the hand of the ghost that was pointing outside the door.
"No, I think that one is good!"
Never mind, the new scene just looks weird, but not ugly, the fleshy ground and walls have the weird charm unique to horror games, and it unexpectedly fits the game very well.
"No need to change it, it's already perfect."
His eyebrows were curved and there was a smile on the corners of his mouth.
Xu Zhiyan’s idea is very simple.
Ghosts and gods usually never go out of the house. They are almost going crazy from staying at home all day.
From Qu Ji's previous feedback, he knew that Guishen was not interested in most of the safe house's business, and was even negative. Now that the other party was finally willing to do something in the yard, he had to encourage him!
"Bai Jin, I think it's great."
The ghosts and gods did not mind that the yard he built was ugly, so in return, he should not think that the yard they built was weird.
Anyway, he is not the player resting in the safe house.
However, Xu Zhiyan's appearance appeared to be something else in the eyes of ghosts and gods.
His beloved held His hand, showed great tolerance for His misunderstandings, and had His shadow in his eyes.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and the ghost felt that he had very little sanity left.
His movements were out of control—the glass house in the yard collapsed, and a flesh-colored anemone-like monster emerged from the ruins, its swaying tentacles covered with eyes...
"I thought you didn't like it."
He spoke slowly.
The scene in the glass house startled Xu Zhiyan, who had managed to remain calm, again, but he quickly came to his senses and listened to Party A's cautious words, then he spoke with great righteousness.
"I like everything new and novel."
The scene is so horrifying that the players who enter will probably be nervous. It seems that we need to ask the monsters who receive them to be more polite.
Who can maintain mental stability after leaving one horror game scene and then immediately entering another horror scene?
Perhaps the ghost's gaze was too hot.
Xu Zhiyan realized belatedly that he was still holding the other person's hand, so he quickly let go, stood up and took a few steps back.
This slightly distant action was like a bucket of cold water poured down on me.
The ghosts and gods calmed down a lot.
After all the trouble, the sun had completely set.
Xu Zhiyan keenly sensed the strange atmosphere and almost hurriedly wanted to evacuate.
He thought of an excuse.
"My cat is still waiting for me to sleep with it. I'm leaving first." After saying that, he quickly walked upstairs.
The ghost who was left behind suddenly turned his head away and his breathing became much faster.
He felt that the cold water that had just been poured on his body had turned boiling.
…
Of course Xu Zhiyan couldn't go to bed so early after returning to his room. After taking a shower, he held the cat and played with his mobile phone until midnight.
The safe house should be logged into some copy.
When he was engrossed in playing the game, he heard screams coming from the yard.
I feel a bit sorry for these unlucky players.
He thought for a moment and asked the system to tell Qu Ji that this time the charges would be 99% off in order to appease the frightened players.
After finishing the arrangements, Xu Zhiyan yawned, reached out and touched the cat's head and said with a smile.
"What are you looking at? You've been staring at me since I walked in at night."
He thought that he had just left the white cat alone in the room, which made it nervous, and that was why it became so clingy.
However, after he kissed the white cat's ears, the cat turned its head away, looking conflicted.
"Ah, what kind of world is this? Do kittens have troubles?"
He stroked the white cat's fur, turned off his phone, and prepared to go to bed.
Because the touch of the cat's fur on his arm was so good, Xu Zhiyan threw away his bathrobe, and without changing into pajamas, he carried the cat into bed, hugged the cat, kissed and embraced it, feeling very happy.
He felt that he understood a little bit why Jin Sheng liked small animals.
Such a soft and slippery little kitten, with a faint fragrance smelling and a body temperature as high as a heater, it obediently lets him kiss and touch it, without any resistance... Who can resist this!
"Kitty, there are only bad people out there, you can only be with me for the rest of your life."
People who are obsessed with cats will say strange things from time to time.
Where Xu Zhiyan couldn't see, the white cat nodded stiffly, as if responding to him.
By the time the screams in the yard subsided, Xu Zhiyan had already fallen into a sweet dream, hugging the white cat.
The doors and windows of the dim bedroom were closed.
Only a faint moonlight shone through the window.
Listening to the even breathing sound, the white cat tiptoed out of the young man's arms, stood at the head of the bed and looked at his peaceful sleeping face.
The ghosts and gods realized that their concentration was not as good as they thought.
He is not a real cat.
The young man's naked skin rubbed against the fur, and all the touch was transmitted to Him.
He used up almost all of his self-control, pulling as much power as possible out of the white cat's body, making the cat stiff and unable to move.
As for how he got here just now, He hardly dared to recall.
Forget it. He knew clearly that if he continued like this, he would not be able to wait until Xu Zhiyan entered the copy, and he would probably lose control and do something.
This is too dangerous...
He was worried that the other person would get hurt.
It would be better to just make the white cat disappear, and then let Asa find a replacement urgently. This way, it can be explained that the cat was lost and found, and Xu Zhiyan will not be sad.
I made up my mind, but the white cat didn't leave for a long time.
Its heterochromatic pupils had turned into brilliant gold at some point, like the eyes of a ghost or god.
The ghost looked down at his furry paws.
He felt as if he was infected by the splitting symptoms of the blood. On the one hand, he did not want to hide it from Xu Zhiyan, nor did he want to take advantage of the young man without his knowledge. But on the other hand, being able to get close to his beloved was a sweet temptation that even the devil could not refuse.
He couldn't help but want to get closer.
Mixed emotions filled his mind, making him ignore everything else.
He didn't want to think about where he was during the last round of the game, nor did he want to guess whether the guy with the same name was a slice or a trap set for him by the main system. He just wanted to get close to Xu Zhiyan.
He would build a pure gold cage and trap the sleeping young man inside. He would offer him countless treasures, so that he would only have eyes for Him from now on...
A crazy thought flashed through my mind.
The ghosts and gods forced themselves to remain calm.
The white cat's stiff body seemed to have regained some strength and became much more flexible.
It walked forward step by step.
It seemed as if he wanted one more kiss before leaving.
Forget it...leave.
After one last kiss, leave.
The power and thoughts from the original body filled the white cat's body. It lowered its head and gently rubbed the young man's sleeping face.
Satisfaction and love fill its little body.
The ghost couldn't help himself and wanted to express the emotions echoing in his chest in front of his sleeping sweetheart.
The white cat opened its mouth and uttered a word.
"I--"
The sound stopped abruptly.
The ghost felt that the perspective in front of him had changed. However, compared with the slightly changed perspective, the young man's whispered cry of pain with a frown was more obvious.
He realized what seemed to be happening.
The hexagonal metal panel in front of me suddenly opened up.
[Mr. Ghost, your cat-shaped body is not very suitable for you to speak. I have asked the system to shut up, but I hope you can solve the identity problem quickly. Mr. Xu will wake up soon! ! ]
Asa, who is usually calm, actually typed two exclamation marks.
The ghost had too much emotion to express, and it directly tore the white cat's body, which was half bloody.
The original body was too close, and the white cat's body should have returned to the original body, but the desire to leave was too strong, causing the original body to move to the white cat's position - that is, Xu Zhiyan's bed.
[If you were previously struggling with how to explain the cat's identity to Mr. Xu, it seems you don't have to worry about it now.]
Asa's second message carried a strange hint.
The ghost, who had not yet come to his senses, suddenly felt two arms hugging him. He seemed to have thought of something and looked down.
Oh no, Xu Zhiyan woke up.
…
A minute ago, Xu Zhiyan swore that he was still dreaming.
In his dream, he was counting money until his hands were tired, when suddenly a huge gold nugget appeared in front of him and pressed him so hard that he could not breathe.
But this is money, he will never let it go even if he dies!
But why is this gold nugget a bit hot?
In a daze, he reached out to hug the gold, but the feeling of being pressed down by the heavy object became stronger and stronger, and he inevitably woke up from the dream.
Xu Zhiyan opened his eyes dazedly and met a pair of golden pupils that still contained burning love and desire.
He was a little confused.
Who can tell him what happened?
Why did the gold he held with his hands and feet become his party A!
