Chapter 112 In this world, nothing matters except Yun Yang.
The system slipped silently out of Yunyang's mind.
It returned to the brain of its beloved host.
[Host, she didn't fall for it and doesn't plan to take you out.]
The system's voice rang in Zhang Yan's mind.
Zhang Yan, who was curled up in the corner, slowly opened her eyes. There was no light in her dark pupils, only a deathly stillness.
[I expected this.]
His voice echoed in my mind, carrying a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.
She's not easy to deal with.
[You should go back now, the male lead will be here soon.]
The system was somewhat surprised: [Host, you're truly a genius! The male lead really has come downstairs and is heading towards the basement! I'm off!]
A strange smile curved at the corners of Zhang Yan's mouth.
He closed his eyes again, regaining his fragile and pitiful appearance, as if everything just now was an illusion.
"Squeak—"
The heavy iron door to the basement was pushed open from the outside.
Blinding light rushed in, breaking the long-standing darkness.
A tall, imposing figure stood against the light, radiating a chilling aura of oppression.
Fu Xiaoting has arrived.
He walked down the steps one by one, his leather shoes making a crisp "tap, tap, tap" sound on the cement ground, like the death knell of the Grim Reaper.
He stopped in front of Zhang Yan, looking down at him with an icy gaze devoid of any warmth.
Zhang Yan had known all along that he wasn't mute.
So he couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore.
Where is the antidote?
Fu Xiaoting got straight to the point.
Why make it so complicated?
Once the exact location is known, a large sum of money can be spent to hire a group of desperate thugs to steal or rob the place.
Where there's a good reward, there will be brave men.
Why make Yunyang take that risk?
Upon hearing his voice, Zhang Yan's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and then he slowly raised his head.
He looked at Fu Xiaoting, his face showing no surprise, but instead he smiled.
"The system didn't tell me."
"Hasn't it already abandoned me and gone to Yunyang?"
Before he could finish speaking, something cold and hard was pressed against his forehead.
It's a gun.
"I have no patience."
Fu Xiaoting's voice was as cold as ice, "Either die, or talk."
The threat of death was imminent, yet Zhang Yan showed no fear whatsoever.
He even smiled, a smile tinged with sadness and mockery.
"You can kill me."
"I am now powerless to resist."
"But I still want to give you a piece of advice: why don't you go with Yunyang?"
He paused, his dark eyes staring straight into Fu Xiaoting's unfathomable depths.
"She's definitely going to go through the storyline."
"Because she wants to go home."
"Back to Beijing."
Beijing?
Fu Xiaoting subconsciously asked a question in return.
Zhang Yan clearly noticed the fluctuation in his emotions, and the smile on her lips deepened.
"Yes, sir."
"Since you know I'm a conqueror, don't you know that Yun Yang isn't from this world either?"
"She is Chinese and lives in Beijing."
Fu Xiaoting was completely stunned.
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, frozen in place, unable to move.
He is from Beijing, China.
Countries in this world are represented by simplified letters such as Country A and Country B.
The difference between "京市" (Jingshi) and "北京" (Beijing Municipality) is self-evident.
He suddenly remembered the complex, hesitant look in Yun Yang's eyes when she looked at him earlier.
Could it be...?
An absurd and terrifying thought began to frantically grow in his mind.
Could it be that he himself is also a two-dimensional character?
Only Yunyang is a living, breathing person from the real world.
"So that's how it is."
Fu Xiaoting suddenly smiled.
He put away his gun, leaned against the cold wall, and laughed until his shoulders trembled.
It was a laugh that was a mixture of absurdity and sorrow, yet also carried a hint of relief.
So that's how it is.
In that world, nothing matters except Yun Yang.
...
2:30 a.m.
Yunyang was making final preparations in her room.
He started stuffing things into himself like crazy.
Inside the inside pocket of the windbreaker, there were two pieces of chocolate and a small bag of beef jerky.
The sweatpants had two large pockets; the left pocket was stuffed with a bag of potato chips, and the right pocket with a bag of cookies.
She even stuffed two sausages into her socks.
In my mind, the long-lost system voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of speechless complaint.
Are you going on a desert island survival mission, or a spring outing and picnic?
She stuffed hand warmers into her arms while mentally retorting.
How can you have the strength to outwit and outmaneuver them if you don't eat your fill?
【Wait a moment……】
She suddenly thought of a crucial question.
I also need to wear a pair of overnight pants, in case they don't let me go to the toilet and I wet my pants or my legs get cold.
Why didn't others think of this before they were kidnapped? I'm such a clever little girl.
system:【……】
After dressing neatly and transforming herself into a mobile convenience store, Yun Yang checked the time.
2:30.
Let's go see Fu Xiaoting again.
She tiptoed to Fu Xiaoting's room and gently pushed the door open a crack.
The room was dark, with only the cool moonlight streaming in from the window, outlining the blurry silhouette of the person on the bed.
He seemed to be fast asleep, still wearing that steam eye mask on his face, and tightly clutching an ugly-cute big white goose plush toy in his arms.
His breathing was steady, and his chest rose and fell rhythmically.
Yun Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that you're asleep.
If they're asleep, they won't cause any trouble.
She was preparing to go downstairs quietly.
"elder sister……"
A soft, sweet voice suddenly came from the next room.
It's Shin-chan.
Yunyang turned around and saw Xiaoxin rubbing his eyes, hugging his little dinosaur doll, standing in the corridor.
"Sister, there seems to be someone outside my window." The little one's voice was tinged with fear.
Yunyang glanced at her watch again.
Although time was a bit tight, she still couldn't bear to leave the little one behind.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go take a look."
She followed Xiaoxin into the room and checked it carefully.
The windows were closed tightly, and there was nothing outside except the rustling of leaves in the wind.
There's nothing there, you must be having a nightmare.
Yunyang carried him back to bed and gently coaxed him.
She bent down to tuck the blanket around the little one.
"Clatter".
A small bag of chocolate beans accidentally fell out of her bulging pocket and landed right next to Shin-chan's pillow.
The little guy's eyes lit up instantly, and he was wide awake.
"Sister, you're stealing food!"
Yunyang quickly picked up the chocolate beans and stuffed them back into her pocket.
"I don't have any, this is what I'm going to eat tomorrow."
"You've already brushed your teeth, you can't eat now."
"Sweetie, I'll tell you a story, go to sleep now."
Yunyang casually told a story about the Three Little Pigs, and she almost fell asleep herself while telling it. Xiaoxin finally drifted off to sleep again thanks to her gentle voice.
She glanced at the time.
The agreed time with the bodyguard has passed!
But as soon as I got up, I caught a glimpse of a tall, dark figure standing on the balcony.
The man was dressed in all black and wore a huge dog-head mask, which looked particularly eerie in the moonlight.
Was it the bodyguard who impersonated Hamburger?
How did he get up here?
Yunyang hurriedly ran over and opened the glass door to the balcony.
How did you get up here?
She asked in a low voice.
On second thought, it makes sense.
This is only the second floor. A professional bodyguard could easily climb over the second-floor balcony.
Yun Yang: "You come in first, I dare not jump down with you."
The kobold's face slowly turned towards the room, its gaze seemingly passing over her and settling on the bed.
Just as Yun Yang was about to turn around, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why aren't you saying anything?
A bold guess formed in her mind.
She asked tentatively, "Sir, is that you?"
As she spoke, she reached out as if to tear off the dog-head mask.
"Fu Xiaoting! You..."
Before she could finish speaking, the kobold suddenly shoved her!
The force was so great that she lost her balance and her lower back slammed hard against the low table in the room.
"Clang!"
A toy car on the table was knocked off, making a crisp sound.
Shin-chan, who had just fallen asleep in bed, was instantly awakened by the noise.
He opened his eyes and saw a strange man wearing a dog's head shoving his sister Yunyang!
"Bad guy! I'll go get help!"
The little guy reacted very quickly, scrambling out of bed and running barefoot out of the room.
Seeing this, the dog-headed man took a step and chased after Shin-chan.
He chased after the door to the room and stepped into the light filtering in from the corridor.
Countless footsteps approached from outside the door.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and went back, grabbed Yun Yang's arm, and without saying a word, threw her onto his back!
Then, before Yun Yang could react, he carried her on his back and flew directly off the second-floor balcony!
"ah--!"
Yun Yang felt a sudden lightness in her body, and she was lifted into the sky!
The feeling of weightlessness made her mind go blank!
The person beneath him was almost inhuman, moving with the agility of a monkey, performing a graceful somersault in the air and landing steadily on the lawn in the yard.
Without pausing for a moment, he carried Yunyang on his back and rushed to the high courtyard wall in a few steps.
Then, like a gecko, it used its hands and feet to flip over in a few quick movements!
They disappeared into the dense woods behind the manor.
The whole process was incredibly smooth and fast.
Yun Yang was completely stunned.
She was so shaken that she could only instinctively tighten her grip on the other person's neck, afraid that she would fall.
Only one thought was swirling wildly in my mind.
broken.
This...this looks like a real dog-headed man!
