Chapter 137
"How are you?" Yan Yuan walked over. "You're seriously injured. Luckily, I found some medicine earlier. Let me apply it to you."
Codename Hope looked at him, neither answering yes nor no.
He sat very quietly, his long silver hair stained with blood, as obedient as a kitten, and a wounded kitten at that.
A cute kitten is lovable, not to mention that Codename Hope is a very good-looking person himself. His long silver hair and silver eyes make him look even more pitiful. Any normal person would feel pity when seeing him bleeding and huddled in a corner.
Seeing that Codename Hope did not refuse, he walked towards Codename Hope cautiously.
Codename Xiwang lowered his head and looked at his feet. Just as he was about to walk over, the bathroom door slammed open and Qi Xue looked at them with a grim expression.
Yan Yuan's expression changed instantly.
"What are you doing here?" Qi Xue asked him.
"I, I saw this guy was injured. I picked up some medicine earlier." Yan Yuan stammered, "So I wanted to help him."
"He doesn't need your help." Qi Xue pointed at the bathroom door, "Go back now."
Yan Yuan looked at Qi Xue's serious face, and then looked at Code Name Hope who was quietly watching all this in the corner. He was too much like a big white cat. The cat didn't know what humans were talking about, so it could only wait for humans to finish arguing and then touch him. Yan Yuan showed an awkward smile, turned around and left angrily.
Codename Hope lowered his head again, looking a little lonely.
His coat was taken off by Shen Yunzhe, and the bloodstains on his white shirt made them more obvious. Qi Xue remembered his reputation of being able to directly harm strange objects and took a step forward.
"It's better to stop now." Codename Hope suddenly said.
His voice was exactly the same as Shen Yunzhe's, even softer than Shen Yunzhe's tone, so soft that it sounded like a whisper or a sigh, but it was such a soft voice that made Qi Xue freeze in place.
Having survived to the eighth playground, most of them had an intuitive feeling about danger. He realized with horror that the man in front of him, who was huddled in the corner and left there by Shen Yunzhe as if licking his wounds alone, was even more threatening than this playground.
"Don't cross this line," said Codename Hope. "If you come in, I'll kill you."
Qi Xue was furious and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
Codename Hope looked up at him, "Why did you chase him away just now?"
"Don't you want the player to be a sacrifice? Just let him in, and you'll solve the sacrifice problem."
"Do you want to call him back?"
Qi Xue's forehead was also covered with sweat. He subconsciously backed away until he was against the toilet door. He stared at Codename Hope, "You want to kill him? Why?"
"Is that a hard question to understand?" Codename Hope said, "Because he wants to be close to me."
"I hate strangers, strange voices, and strange smells, because I am Shen Yunzhe's doll, and I can only be tainted by Shen Yunzhe's scent." Codename Hope said, "Do you think I am a very qualified doll?"
Doll? Damn! Where can I find such a doll?
"Shen Yunzhe always says I'm too willful and extreme, but I'm protecting his ownership. No one can find a doll as good as me." Codename Hope said with a smile, "He doesn't even have to do anything. I can completely guarantee that I belong to him."
Qi Xue finally understood why Shen Yunzhe said that he was a monster that should be avoided.
Damn, just by getting close to him, he wanted to kill the person, because he felt that he was Shen Yunzhe's doll and wanted to protect Shen Yunzhe's ownership.
Wouldn’t Shen Yunzhe feel scared being with someone like this?
Still talking about love?!
"I think..." Qi Xue tried to say something, "I think Yun Xi, no, Shen Yunzhe wouldn't like this kind of thing."
Codename Hope looked at Qi Xue in confusion.
Being stared at like this by him, Qi Xue felt like he was about to explode from the threat. This person was clearly just looking at him with confusion, even with innocence, but Qi Xue felt like he would die in the next second.
They stared at each other for three seconds, and Codename Hope smiled.
"Why should I care whether Shen Yunzhe likes it or not?"
"Of course I like it!"
"Anyway, he's never liked any of my ideas until now! Whether he likes it or not, it's mine, and I must be his!"
Damn! Madman!
As he spoke, he leaned against the wall to stand up. He looked outside and asked, "Why hasn't Shen Yunzhe come back yet? Where did he go?"
"Where are the others?"
"Shen Yunzhe?"
Code Hope walked towards here step by step, and Qi Xue retreated to the side step by step, trying to keep himself away from Code Hope. He didn't know how many meters Code Hope defined as being close to him, so he could only avoid Code Hope as much as possible. If he was accidentally defined by Code Hope as being within a certain range, he would be doomed!
Just then, the bathroom door was pushed open, and Qi Xue saw an expression of unwillingness on Yan Yuan's familiar face.
Are you here to die?!
Qi Xue slammed the door shut, and the door handle hit Yan Yuan, causing him to stumble. A cry of pain was heard from outside.
The sound was really loud, attracting the players outside. The two people in the bathroom also heard it. Codename Hope covered his ears and his eyes instantly became dangerous. What he hated most was stimulating sounds, especially when he was already in extreme emotions.
He looked at the door, his silver eyes filled with cruelty.
Qi Xue began to seriously consider the proposal of throwing Yan Yuan into the box as a sacrifice.
Bang bang! There was a knock on the bathroom door, and Shen Yunzhe's voice rang out, "Qi Xue?"
Qi Xue hurriedly opened the door, pushed Shen Yunzhe into the bathroom, and grabbed Xing Ruomiao who was trying to come in, and ran out in an instant. Xing Ruomiao was pushed out by pressing his forehead, with two finger marks on his head. He looked at Qi Xue aggrievedly. Qi Xue did not explain, but just pulled Yan Yuan on the ground and ran out.
"If you don't want to live like this, go to the box and don't die here in vain!" Qi Xue scolded him.
After being scolded, Yan Yuan looked at Qi Xue blankly, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
In the bathroom, Shen Yunzhe looked at codename Hope, then turned back to look at the other players who had quickly evacuated.
"What did you do again?"
Codename Hope looked at Shen Yunzhe innocently, "No, I didn't do anything."
How could Qi Xue hide here like a ghost without doing anything?
It seemed that Shen Yunzhe's arrival could soothe all the reluctance of Code Name Hope. He rubbed Shen Yunzhe's palm and obediently let Shen Yunzhe apply medicine and bandage him.
The wound still hurt, especially after being disinfected. Codename Hope felt like his whole body was wrapped in pain.
"It hurts." He couldn't help but say to Shen Yunzhe, "Shen Yunzhe, you're hurting me so much."
Shen Yunzhe glanced at him and said, "Of course it hurts when you're injured. Be careful not to open the wound again."
Codename Hope looked at Shen Yunzhe. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and Shen Yunzhe's figure was reflected in his silver eyes. He watched Shen Yunzhe open his mouth and say something, his lips opening and closing. Shen Yunzhe's lips were very beautiful, with a light color, and they would feel cool when kissed.
Suddenly, Codename Hope felt the injuries on his body hurt even more.
So he leaned over and bit Shen Yunzhe's lips, but this time he didn't use force, he just grinded them carefully with his teeth. Shen Yunzhe's words were blocked by his kiss, and he could only make a few breaths.
"Have you had enough?" Shen Yunzhe pushed him away, his voice very soft, not like a rejection, but like a flirtation, "Don't do this kind of thing suddenly."
"Hmm." Codename Hope looked into Shen Yunzhe's eyes. He reached out and held Shen Yunzhe's hand. He said, "Shen Yunzhe, it hurts so much."
As he said that, he grabbed Shen Yunzhe's hand and put it on himself, "Shen Yunzhe, you did all this."
"You've strangled me so hard that my whole body is covered in wounds and pain." Codename Hope said, "You are a master who doesn't cherish me."
Shen Yunzhe subconsciously wanted to refute, but it seemed impossible to refute, because it was indeed he who did it.
"What should I do, Shen Yunzhe?" Codename Hope whispered softly, like a kitten. "I've lived this long without ever being bullied, yet you keep hurting me and show no remorse. How can you be so hateful?"
"I see you like it very much."
"I can't help it. You're the only one who dares to bully me." Codename Hope looked at him, "I'm going to show you all my wounds, and then I'll take them back bit by bit."
Shen Yunzhe: ...
Oh my God, what earth-shattering and heart-wrenching idea has he come up with?
[Codename Hope calms down and begins sending people back.]
Shen Yunzhe looked up into the air, and the next moment Codename Hope disappeared from his sight, catching him off guard.
"System?" Shen Yunzhe was surprised.
As I mentioned before, Codename Hope is a summoned reinforcement. I don't agree with having Codename Hope stay with you constantly. He's the nemesis of strange creatures, and most playgrounds are just playgrounds to him. But if you want your abilities to evolve, you must work on your own.
[Codename Hope is the last line of defense to ensure your survival.]
Shen Yunzhe scratched his hair, stood up from the ground, picked up the bandages on the ground, then sighed, turned and walked out of the bathroom.
Okay.
The parallel world system has high hopes for him, believing that his abilities can evolve to save the world. His code name is Hope, but he is trapped in a dark little box and cannot get out, so he cannot save the world as the main body. Only Shen Yunzhe, the still living individual, can do it.
"If we really get rid of the playground, can I take him home?"
Shen Yunzhe didn't say who it was, but the system knew it even without him saying it.
[In theory: Codename Hope is your counterpart, existing in a different parallel world.]
[But don't forget, you have this system, the parallel world system, and you also have the abilities of your isotope, including the ability to connect spaces.]
So, you can take him home.
【As long as you can clear the playing field. 】
Shen Yunzhe smiled and leaned against the wall, looking ahead, as if he was looking at something and yet looking at nothing.
"I seem to be motivated suddenly." Shen Yunzhe said.
Shen Yunzhe has lived in an orphanage since he was a child. He lives seriously but has almost no ambition. He only needs to be with a cabinet full of dolls to survive. After knowing that the system's goal is to destroy the playground, he doesn't even feel anything. After all, the safety of the world is too great for him.
He doesn't have much of a sense of belonging in this world, so how can he talk about saving the world with justice?
And now, he suddenly felt that this was also good, this was not bad.
At least he can bring the person he loves back home instead of being locked up in that dark little house forever.
In some ways, codenamed Hope, he is indeed Hope.
…
Three hours passed quickly, and they still had three private rooms' special dishes to get.
When Shen Yunzhe came over, they were discussing what to do with the box in the back.
Seeing Shen Yunzhe coming over alone, Qi Xue glanced behind him and then asked, "Where is that person?"
"You ask about hope?"
"Hope?" Qi Xue was horrified. "His name is Hope?!"
Such a terrifying person is actually called Hope? Too scary.
"Shen Yunxi." Shen Yunzhe said, "That's his name. I just used to call him Hope. Now that he's gone, you can think of it as me finally recovering and putting my second personality back into my body."
Everyone looked at Shen Yunzhe in silence. Shen Yunzhe remained calm as he spoke nonsense, not even frowning.
"Alright." Qi Xue said, "Anyway, we're currently discussing the private room issue. The safety period in the Mirror World ends in half an hour. Once we leave the Mirror World, we need to complete our mission and collect all the dishes as quickly as possible."
But there is a huge problem here.
The special dishes in the box require sacrifices. Players are the ingredients and are also necessary conditions for the appearance of special dishes.
No one here wants to die.
The scene fell into dead silence.
"Can't we just let things take their own course?" one of the players said. "Once we leave the mirror world, we have to go into the private room, because waiters will be patrolling the corridors, and then..."
"What if everyone is in a safe box?" Qi Xue said, "Don't forget, the game only lasts for seven days at most. If the mission is not completed within seven days, the game will automatically be considered a failure, and everyone will die."
But even so, who would be willing to die?
"There are nine people left, and there are three boxes left. We will split into groups of three and enter different boxes." Qi Xue said, "Let's see how lucky we are."
No one agreed, because everyone present knew that players like Qi Xue who could survive to eight game fields had the highest probability of survival, while newcomers like them who were in the second game field were most likely to become sacrifices.
In order to ensure fairness, Qi Xue drew lots, and each person drew a number to determine their group.
Shen Yunzhe drew box number seven, which was next to box number eight.
Among the people assigned to Shen Yunzhe's side was the extremely unlucky Ma Ran, and another person Shen Yunzhe had some impression of, as if he had seen him at the bathroom door, named Yan Yuan.
The three-hour safe zone time was up, and they had no choice but to leave the mirror world and head towards the place they had chosen.
Shen Yunzhe came out of box number five. He first looked around and made sure that there was no waiter before walking to the door of box number seven. He did not rush in directly, but stopped at the door and listened to the sounds inside.
It was a little too quiet inside, there was no sound at all.
Ma Ran and Yan Yuan followed behind Shen Yunzhe, and they did not dare to act rashly.
After thinking about it, Shen Yunzhe knocked on the door, but there was still no movement from inside.
Shen Yunzhe knocked again, and this time he heard footsteps.
A long-haired woman opened the door and stuck her head out.
"Who are you?" The woman looked at Shen Yunzhe with a puzzled look in her eyes. "I don't think I've seen you before."
Shen Yunzhe blinked, looking at the woman in confusion, and asked directly, "Huh? Did I knock on the wrong door? Excuse me, who are you...?"
The woman was also confused. At this moment, a man walked out and looked at Shen Yunzhe. "Are you our new neighbor?"
"New neighbors?" Shen Yunzhe suddenly realized, "So you are the new tenants. I was wondering why I had never seen you before. This family has moved away."
"So you're our neighbors." The woman smiled and shook Shen Yunzhe's hand. "Hello, we're new here and will be living here starting today. Please give us your guidance."
Shen Yunzhe also laughed, "Of course, of course. I'm really sorry, I didn't bring any gifts."
"Of course it's okay. Come in and have some tea." The host greeted Shen Yunzhe and the people behind him.
Ma Ran and Yan Yuan stared at Shen Yunzhe with their mouths open, their eyes full of admiration as they watched him handle everything. Shen Yunzhe gestured to them and then walked into box number seven. Ma Ran followed. Yan Yuan didn't want to go in, but at this moment he heard footsteps and the waiter's face slowly appeared at the stairs.
The waiter looked at Yan Yuan with wide eyes.
"mouse!"
Yan Yuan was startled and ran into box number seven as if fleeing.
Click, and the door of box number seven closed.
Shen Yunzhe watched him come in, then looked at the couple in front of him who had called them in and ignored them again.
The man and woman were packing up, and there were piles of books and miscellaneous items in the box.
"This house is really nice. I can rent it for so little money. It's a steal." The hostess said in surprise.
The male host smiled at her dotingly, "Yes, we still have quite a bit of money left, so I ordered a dish from the Happy Dumpling Restaurant, and it will be delivered soon."
"Is it the recently famous Happy Dumpling House? Oh, that's priceless!"
"Haven't you always wanted to eat there? They heard we just moved, and the owner said they'd give us a special dish!"
The hostess' eyes were full of anticipation. "Really? That's great!"
So they continued to tidy up the clutter on the ground.
"A celebration of moving to a new home." Shen Yunzhe sat on a chair and looked at them. "There aren't any special dishes required for a celebration of moving to a new home. They're usually traditional blessing dishes."
"Similar to New Year's dishes, right?" Ma Ran also said: "Dumplings or something? After all, this is a dumpling restaurant, so the filling of the dumplings might be..."
"Stop talking!" Yan Yuan's face turned grim. "Aren't you afraid?!"
Shen Yunzhe looked at him strangely, "Is this something that won't happen if you're afraid?"
"...No, this isn't fair." Yan Yuan stepped back, his eyes filled with fear. "I'm a newcomer. I should be in the second game, not today. This isn't fair. You all get to live, but I have to die! Why?!"
"There's no level playing field."
Yan Yuan shook his head frantically, "No, this is not right! Why should I die?"
His voice was so loud that the couple who were packing up their things raised their heads and looked at him. Compared to their satisfied and intimate eyes just now, their gazes towards Yan Yuan were empty and weird.
They just stared at Yan Yuan.
"Honey, why do I feel like someone is standing here?" the hostess said faintly, "Is there a thief?"
"We just moved in, how could a thief break in? This is really unlucky." The man stood up and looked at Yan Yuan, "Unlucky things must be cleared out."
The hostess also stood up and said, "Clean it out."
