Chapter 102. It was obtained by exchanging five million points. ...
Upon entering the residential area, the countdown above officially began.
There was a clear sense of distance between the others and Xu Yi; they stood together, while Xu Yi stood to one side.
The girl named Miao Xin hesitated for a moment, then moved a few steps closer to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi nodded to Miao Xin, ignored them, and looked around.
The rules state that they should play their respective roles well, but they don't specify what those roles should be.
Just as I was pondering this, someone came over.
A hand reached out and grabbed the ear of one of the young men with dyed red hair.
"You little brat, you're always out gallivanting around outside and never come home. What are you doing standing outside now?"
As he spoke, the man kicked the red-haired man and grabbed his red hair, saying, "Look at the mess you've made! You never find a proper job, all you do is go out and fool around."
"Who the hell are you?" The other party appeared suddenly, and the red-haired man couldn't help but retort.
But the other person suddenly stared intently at the red-haired man.
Perhaps startled by the other person's expression, Red Hair suddenly remembered the rules and tentatively called out, "Dad?"
As a result, Red Hair got slapped and was dragged home by the hair.
The leader breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems we're going to play the role of someone in this neighborhood."
The others nodded.
The leader's eyes darted around before landing on Xu Yi. "Hey, newbie, what's your name?"
Xu Yi didn't speak.
The rules say you should respond when someone greets you, but they don't say you should respond when someone on a mission greets you. This person clearly has ill intentions, so it would be strange if Xu Yi paid them any attention.
Xu Yi realized that she seemed to have seen one more rule than others.
It must have been a special hint for her.
Within the community, rules are absolute; no rule may be violated (except for injunctions).
She was trying to figure out what the rule meant, so she ignored the others.
The leader was very unhappy that Xu Yi ignored him, so he walked towards Xu Yi.
Just then, an older woman came over with her grandson by the hand.
In addition to seeing Xu Yi's perspective, Xiang Bei can also see the perspective of the mission participants.
From Xu Yi's perspective, it's a normal grandmother and grandson pair.
However, from the perspective of the mission taker, it is a child without legs. When he laughs, his mouth splits open, looking bloody and mangled, with some raw meat stuck to his teeth.
Even that middle-aged woman, when she laughed, her mouth was split open, like a gaping maw.
Miao Xin almost screamed, but quickly covered her mouth after realizing what was happening.
Xiang Bei also leaned back slightly.
Try not to look at the true faces of those who are on the mission.
It is indeed very strange.
The normal-looking ones are fine, but the bizarre prototypes look like something out of a horror movie.
I've only ever had this kind of intuitive feeling when the perspective was switched to that of zombies last time.
Their bizarre appearance is even more terrifying than that of zombies.
Xu Yi couldn't see the cheat code; in her eyes, they were just two normal people, so she naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with them.
The little boy suddenly broke free from his grandmother's hand, ran over and grabbed Xu Yi's hand, "Sister, play games with me."
Thinking of the rules, Xu Yi nodded in agreement, "Okay, what game do you want to play?"
The child took a coin out of his pocket and looked at Xu Yi with bright eyes. "Let's play a coin guessing game. There's a reward if you guess right."
Xu Yi didn't ask what the reward was, but smiled and looked at the child.
He carefully tossed the coin into the air and caught it with his hand.
"Sister, can you guess if it's a word or a flower?" The little boy looked up at Xu Yi innocently.
[Just guess, you'll be right no matter what.]
Xiang Bei reminded Xu Yi that if the cheat she bought with five million points couldn't even prevent this, she would definitely hold the system accountable.
“Words,” Xu Yi said.
The child opened his palm and looked at Xu Yi with bright eyes, "Sister, you guessed right."
As she spoke, she took a gold-wrapped chocolate ball from her pocket and handed it to Xu Yi, saying, "This is a reward for you."
Xu Yi took the chocolate ball.
The child went to find other people.
To others, all they saw were these strange creatures in their original form. When children ran over to play games with them, they were all frightened and took two steps back.
However, the rules also state that they cannot refuse invitations to play games, so they just hope that the kid won't pick them.
The auntie walked over, looked at Xu Yi, and smiled, "This child just learned this game today, and as soon as he saw it, he wanted to find someone to play with."
"That's how kids are," Xu Yi replied with a smile.
The others wanted to leave, but they didn't even know where their homes were, so they could only stand there and wait for their families to come and claim them.
And once a child asks for help, they can't refuse.
Even if you try to pretend you didn't see it, you still can't avoid it.
But it only said there would be a reward for guessing correctly, without saying what would happen if you guessed wrong.
This is a bizarre world, and they are well aware of the consequences.
Miao Xin looked at the child smiling at her and turned pale with fright. Seeing that the child had already tossed the coin, she gritted her teeth and guessed.
A coin only has two sides, heads or tails; it's either heads or tails.
No matter which one you guess, the odds are 50/50.
"It's a flower."
The child opened his palm, and it was indeed a flower.
He gave Miao Xin another chocolate ball.
The child then asked the remaining three people one by one.
Finally, it was the turn of the leader.
Seeing that everyone else had answered correctly, he felt quite confident, believing he had figured out the pattern, so he confidently said, "It's a character."
But when the child opened his palm, it was a flower.
The man's expression suddenly changed. "How is this possible?"
The previous sequence was clearly a combination of characters, so when it was his turn, it should have been a single character.
He suspected the monster was playing a trick on him, but the little boy didn't give him time to think. His body rapidly grew larger, then he swallowed him whole, chewed a few times, and spat out a watch.
It was the same watch that person had been wearing on their wrist, with bits of meat still stuck to it.
The others looked even paler.
From Xu Yi's perspective, all she could see was that person suddenly disappear, and then hear an electronic voice announcing that the other person was eliminated.
Currently, there are five surviving mission participants.
Xiang Bei couldn't help but give the system a thumbs up, "Buying this cheat was totally worth it."
Moreover, it's a purified version, so you can't see those eerie true forms at all.
The system proudly puffed out its chest. "Of course."
The aunt watched her grandson eat the man's food without any reaction. "It's getting late. Hurry up and go home with Grandma. Grandma will make you something delicious."
With a smile, she led her little grandson home.
Just then, a few more people arrived. A tall, thin woman walked up to Miao Xin and asked, "Why aren't you home? What are you doing standing here?"
"Mom?" Miao Xin called out tentatively.
"What, you don't even recognize your own mother?"
Miao Xin quickly took the other person's arm and went home with them affectionately.
The other two were also taken away by their families, leaving only Xu Yi.
After a while, a couple finally came over.
"Yiyi, why are you standing downstairs? It's so hot, hurry back to your room." The other person looked at Xu Yi and smiled.
"I'll wait here for you and Dad to come back," Xu Yi said readily.
These two people reminded her quite a bit of her parents.
So it wasn't too awkward to get along with them.
"Are you hot? I went to the supermarket and bought some beef bones. I'll have your dad make you some beef bone soup today." The woman showed Xu Yi what she was holding.
Xu Yi tried to take it, but she stopped her, saying, "No need, your dad and I will keep it."
Seeing this, Xu Yi followed them upstairs.
It was already getting dark. When Xu Yi got home, she locked the doors and windows from the inside. The couple didn't react much and were busy cooking in the kitchen.
Xu Yi sat on the sofa watching TV.
There was a knock on the door. Xu Yi subconsciously stood up, then slowly sat back down.
She didn't move. The knocking outside grew louder, but the couple in the kitchen remained silent. She turned the TV volume to mute, because the rules seemed to say that you shouldn't make a sound when you hear noise.
She wasn't sure if the voice included any other voices besides her own.
Just to be on the safe side, it's best not to make any noise.
After a series of urgent knocks on the door, followed by what appeared to be two kicks, silence fell.
Xu Yi turned her head and saw the couple still busy cooking in the kitchen.
It took a while before they brought out the food.
Xu Yi could still smell the aroma of the food.
Xiang Bei looked at the system, "Are those dishes edible? Will there be any problems?"
"It's okay, there's a cheat code, just eat normally."
Xu Yi looked at the beef bone soup in front of her, hesitating whether or not to drink it.
It's okay, eat up. Your food is all normal. Just treat your parents the way you usually treat them.
Seeing the comments, Xu Yi picked up a spoon and took a sip of soup.
"Is it good?"
"It's delicious, Dad's cooking is the best."
Xu Yi nodded vigorously. For some reason, she felt as if she could taste the food her parents used to cook.
Even her parents reminded her of her own parents.
"If you like it, eat more vegetables. Look how thin you've become. You must have been secretly dieting at school and not eating properly. Your health is the most important thing. Don't neglect your health just because you want to look pretty. You're still young now, but you'll know the consequences when you get old."
Xu Yi smiled. She had indeed been dieting to be the most beautiful bride.
The deed is done, and Xu Yi won't dwell on the possibility that Zhao Chang hadn't received the Infinite Flow invitation.
Her parents only had one daughter, and they were grooming her to be their heir. Xu Yi was quite decisive in other matters, but for some reason, every time she faced Zhao Chang, all the things she had learned seemed to be useless.
At that time, all she wanted was to stay with Zhao Chang.
They even considered merging the two companies after they got married.
Xu Yi belatedly realized that she had actually had such a terrible thought.
If the companies merge and the Zhao family takes over, then all the business that my father worked so hard to build will be handed over to someone else.
"Yi Yi? Yi Yi?"
Xu Yi snapped out of her daze and realized that it was "Mom" calling her.
"Why are you daydreaming while eating?"
"Dad" took the bowl she had almost finished eating from, filled it with two more beef bones, and placed it in front of Xu Yi.
Seeing her parents nagging, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile; she thought of her own parents.
"Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Dad. I will always love you."
Her parents paused for a moment, their eyes softening further, and they even smiled as they looked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi ate while talking to her "parents," just like a normal family.
She would talk about things that happened at school, and also about interesting things that happened between her and her friends.
The "parents" in front of her didn't show any unusual expression; they just looked at her with loving eyes.
Xu Yi put down her bowl and chopsticks after she finished eating.
"Mom and Dad, I'm full."
"Why did you eat so little?" the mother in front of her asked, frowning.
"As long as you're full, that's fine. We still have snacks at home if you get hungry," Dad said with a smile.
"How can you just eat snacks and not eat meals? You've spoiled your child like this."
"What child doesn't love snacks? Look how well our daughter has grown up."
The couple had a minor argument. After dinner, Xu Yi wanted to help wash the dishes, but was sent to the room.
She heard a system notification while she was taking a shower.
There are currently four surviving mission participants.
That night, another person was eliminated.
Xu Yi didn't say anything, but checked the doors and windows of the room and then locked the door.
She lay on the bed, hugging the blanket, and whispered, "Beibei, are you there?"
【exist. 】
"That couple was just like my real parents."
[It's possible that you were matched with parents who resembled your original parents because you were using cheats.]
Xu Yi sighed and began to recount the sudden thought that had crossed her mind at the dinner table earlier.
“I studied business and am the future successor of my family company. Dating Zhao Chang is a good match in terms of social standing. If you have to call it a marriage of convenience, then I’m crazy to think that I’ll hand over the family company to him after we get married.”
Xu Yi didn't actually think their marriage was a political alliance, since they did have feelings for each other.
But emotions are so terrifying that they made her lose her mind.
At the wedding that day, if Xiang Bei hadn't suddenly appeared, Xu Yi would have been determined to wait for Zhao Chang to return.
[You're not crazy, he's the one who's shameless. He seduced you and bewitched you. Just pretend he got hit by a car and died. When you can't help but think of him, silently visit his grave and burn some paper money for him.]
It's normal for the female protagonist in a tragic novel to be unable to escape the male protagonist in the early stages, after all, the male protagonist's halo is still there.
As long as the female lead is strong enough, the male lead's halo will naturally be shattered little by little.
Men who make excuses for their infidelity don't deserve any sympathy.
What a momentary lapse of judgment! Shameless bastard, always making excuses for himself.
Why doesn't he take his heart out and clean it up properly?
Watching Xiang Bei scold Zhao Chang, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
I don't know why, but I feel like she enjoys swearing.
Sometimes she still thinks of Zhao Chang, and it's that feeling she can't control. She even gets a little hysterical, thinking that if she sees Zhao Chang, she must ask him in person why.
Sometimes I wonder, are those things important?
The outcome was predetermined from the moment Zhao Chang made his choice.
Even though she met Zhao Chang at the very beginning of this quest, and he still had feelings for her, he was the one who left her at the wedding.
Xu Yi had expected to have trouble sleeping, thinking her mind would wander to all sorts of random things. But she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes, without feeling any pressure from the change of environment.
It was a chaotic dream; she felt like a monster was chasing her.
She ran and ran as fast as she could, but then she accidentally fell.
She watched helplessly as the monster's hand gripped her neck, then grasped at empty air.
The monster's hand passed through her neck but did not cause her any harm.
"Host, host, Xu Yi's dream is connected to Zhao Chang's experience."
Xiang Bei leaned closer, "Will hanging it be useful?"
"Of course, it was earned with five million points."
Xiang Bei glanced at it sideways and said earnestly, "System, I'm not trying to discourage you, but even a cheat code bought with five million points can't completely prevent Xu Yi from taking the damage for the male lead in his sleep?"
"Well, after all, they are the male and female leads. It will definitely take time to completely eliminate the influence. After a while, the male lead's experiences will no longer be able to affect the female lead."
Xiang Bei didn't say anything, but clicked her tongue, which dealt a heavy blow to Tongzi.
Xu Yi woke up with a start, but after a short while, she forgot the scene from her dream.
She stared at the ceiling, trying to recall what dream she had just had. It seemed to be a terrible dream, but she couldn't remember the details.
Suddenly I heard something knocking on my bedroom window.
Just as I was about to get up, I suddenly came to my senses.
The curtains were drawn, making the room very dark and impossible to see anything clearly. Xu Yi sat on the bed, listening to the knocking sound, and she was a little worried that the window would be broken.
I also smelled a strong smoky smell, as if something was burning.
After the knocking stopped, Xu Yi waited a while before getting up to peek through the curtains. There was nothing outside the window, but there were some bloodstains on the glass, still dripping down.
Xu Yi didn't investigate further, but simply went back to bed and continued lying down.
She woke up again at dawn.
The blood I saw last night seemed like a dream of Xu Yi's. The window was clean, there was nothing there.
The weather outside is nice, but the rules say that you can only go out freely on rainy days.
In other words, on sunny days, the task force members are not allowed to go out.
"Yiyi, Mom and Dad have gone to work and won't be back for lunch. Go eat at the restaurant near the entrance of our community by yourself."
"Okay, Mom," Xu Yi replied.
Hearing the door close, she opened the door and peeked out.
After confirming that the person had left, I looked through every corner of the house again, but there was nothing particularly special about it.
Breakfast was left for her in the kitchen.
The system announcement sounded again while she was eating breakfast.
There are currently three surviving mission participants.
Xu Yi didn't know who was dead or who was still alive. The surviving mission takers should know the rules and wouldn't go out at this time.
The objective is to survive for three days to complete the game.
But Xu Yi learned from Xiang Bei that she was different from the other mission participants.
While others need to clear ten dungeons to leave, she can come and go as she pleases.
Even now, you can choose to leave.
This task was very easy for her.
Xu Yi certainly wouldn't leave just like that.
People who enter the instance are also randomly teleported.
In other words, as long as Zhao Chang can successfully clear the dungeon, they will eventually meet him in the mission.
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh. She suddenly looked forward to the day she would meet Zhao Chang.
I wonder what kind of expression the other person will have when they see him?
