Chapter 177: Gelton Manor 27
Xu Xinghe put the stone-like potatoes in the fireplace to roast, and then seven people sat on the soft couch waiting for the potatoes to be cooked.
During this period, no strange incidents occurred in the manor. Apart from the howling cold wind outside, there was nothing unusual.
"We should be able to have a good sleep tonight." Xin Yi looked at the six people sitting on the soft couch, and she decided to decide how to sleep at night first.
It was impossible to go back to our rooms to sleep because the rooms were too cold. The thickest quilt we had was a blanket, and it was very easy for accidents to happen if we were all scattered in such a place.
The soft couch that Yang Bingyan laid could indeed accommodate seven people, but with four men and three women, how could they squeeze in?
Xin Yi suggested that if men and women slept separately, she and Ye Jian would sleep in the middle.
Ye Jian objected, "Shouldn't it be me and the good girl (Su Qingyun) who sleep in the middle? We're an engaged couple, so it's most appropriate for us to sleep side by side. And you, my fiancée's best friend, sleeping with you is like, you want to be struck by lightning?"
He added, "You want it, but I don't."
Xin Yi was so angry that he put his hands on his hips but could do nothing about it.
Yang Bingyan hurried over and whispered to Xin Yi, saying that this was a dungeon and there would be many opportunities to chase Ye Jian out later, so there was no need to rush. Ye Jian was a clear-the-level king and would definitely abide by the role relationships in the dungeon.
Yang Bingyan said this because she wanted to sleep next to Xu Xinghe. After persuading Xin Yi, she stood up and expressed her thoughts.
She said, "This manor is too big, and it always feels like there are monsters in it. Even if the three of us girls squeeze together to sleep, it's not safe. Since we are all going through the level together, shouldn't the boys show their style and protect us girls? Otherwise, how about this, the three of us girls squeeze in and sleep next to you four boys? What do you think?"
She also raised her hand and said that she wanted to sleep next to Xu Xinghe. Xu Xinghe was her brother, and she felt that he was the only one of everyone who would protect her.
After saying that, she took the pillow and went to Xu Xinghe.
Qin Shu knew that Ye Jian had given him a dislike value, and the only people here he could rely on were Yang Bingyan and Xu Xinghe, so he walked silently to Yang Bingyan's side.
Yang Bingyan was quite satisfied with this. Ye Jian wanted to sleep next to Su Qingyun and naturally would not come to her side. As for Yin Qi, forget it.
When it comes to arranging how to sleep tonight, Su Qingyun agrees with Yang Bingyan's method. If Ye Jian insists on letting her sleep next to him as Xin Yi suggested, then the person sleeping on the other side of her will either be Yang Bingyan or Xin Yi.
Whether it was Yang Bingyan or Xin Yi, Su Qingyun felt that none of them made her feel as safe as others.
So after Qin Shu chose to sleep next to Yang Bingyan, Su Qingyun went to Xu Xinghe. She patted her other side and asked Ye Jian to come over.
Xin Yi went to the other side of Ye Jian. After she got there, she tilted her head and asked Ye Jian, "Sleeping next to you now shouldn't violate our roles, right?"
Ye Jian leaned on the soft couch, crossed his legs and smiled indifferently.
After eating potatoes, everyone went to bed. Su Qingyun wrapped herself tightly in a blanket and lay down. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she felt something was wrong.
She turned her head and looked at Xu Xinghe. Xu Xinghe was lying on his side facing her. Seeing her looking at him, he smiled at her and said gently, "Go to sleep quickly."
She turned her head to Ye Jian again, and Ye Jian also turned to her side with his arm supporting his head.
Seeing her looking at him, he didn't smile, but made a gesture with his hands as if staring at her, his eyes full of warning.
What it means is probably: I'm watching you, so don't do anything tricky.
What kind of tricks would she pull? It was hilarious. Su Qingyun rolled her eyes at him, straightened her head, and closed her eyes.
She fell asleep quickly.
This time she had another dream. In the dream, she went to the cellar alone, walked around the shelves and miscellaneous items and came to the manhole cover.
She bent down and opened the manhole cover, and then... she saw a group of rats swarming towards her.
Su Qingyun woke up from her dream and sat up suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xinghe also sat up and asked worriedly while holding her arm.
Su Qingyun shook her head and gasped for breath. The dream just now really scared her.
A pot of water was handed over from Su Qingyun's left side, and Ye Jian also sat up. He took Xu Xinghe's hand away from Su Qingyun's shoulder, and very protectively led Su Qingyun to his side, letting her drink some water first.
The fire in the fireplace was still flickering, and everyone else was fast asleep. Su Qingyun took a sip of water, and her frightened heart finally calmed down.
"Are you dreaming?" Ye Jian asked.
Su Qingyun nodded.
Ye Jian frowned, "There are no dreams in the dungeon, how could you be dreaming?"
He thought about it and then turned his gaze to Xu Xinghe.
He said, "I heard that the Starry Group has developed a chip that, after being implanted into the brain of the trial-taker, will cause the trial-taker to have dreams in the dungeon."
He questioned Xu Xinghe, "Did you secretly implant a chip in her brain?"
These words were even scarier than the dream just now. Su Qingyun quickly turned around to look at Xu Xinghe.
In the "Secret of Shuhu Village" copy, Su Qingyun had a dream for the first time, and Xu Xinghe was by her side at that time.
Could her dreams be caused by a chip implanted in her brain?
If the implant is true, can Xu Xinghe still be trusted?
Seeing Su Qingyun's suspicious look, Xu Xinghe quickly denied it. He explained, "Fanxing Group did develop the Dream product, but the technology is still in the testing phase, and I'm the only one who has implanted it."
"How true are your words?"
Xu Xinghe ignored Ye Jian's questioning, but pulled Su Qingyun over to explain to her alone.
"Implanting a chip in the brain requires surgery," he showed Su Qingyun where he had implanted the chip. "You can tell if you have one by touching your head."
Su Qingyun touched his head and found no signs of surgery.
Xu Xinghe also explained the main function of the chip to Su Qingyun, "It only provides the latest announcement information of the strange world to the trial participants. I told you before that the information about the green minibus and the spiritual spring was received through the chip."
He asked Su Qingyun, "Was the dream you just had an announcement?"
"No, it was a nightmare."
"That could be system manipulation."
Su Qingyun was a little puzzled. "There are so many of us, why does the system only control us?"
Could it be because she was the only one who opened the manhole cover?
Xu Xinghe could not answer Su Qingyun's question. What Xu Xinghe wanted to know more now was how Ye Jian knew that Fanxing Group had the dream product.
Fanxing Group has never announced this product to the public.
"Who are you?" Xu Xinghe asked Ye Jian.
Ye Jian shrugged, "Who am I that I need to introduce myself?"
Xu Xinghe added, "Your name shouldn't be Ye Jian."
This time Ye Jian smiled. He asked Xu Xinghe, "If I'm not Ye Jian, what should I call you?"
Xu Xinghe also laughed. He pulled Su Qingyun completely to his side and whispered, "Don't be influenced by him. We are not familiar with him."
Su Qingyun really knew nothing about Ye Jian, but Xu Xinghe said that his name was not Ye Jian. Could it be that he meant that he was not the Ye Jian who entered the dungeon with them?
Wouldn't he be weird?
The next second, Ye Jian pulled her to his side again.
Ye Jian poked her head and leaned close to her ear to warn, "You can't tell the difference between the big and small kings, can you?"
Su Qingyun, "..."
