Chapter 123 Thank you so much for going to so much trouble...
"Here you go." The little girl handed over what she was holding.
In her hand were a stack of eerie photos that had been delivered to her. One showed Zhao Chang protecting Xiao Ying as they escaped from a haunted house. Another showed Zhao Chang being injured while saving Xiao Ying in a mirror maze, with Xiao Ying crying as she examined his wounds.
Xu Yi was engrossed in looking at the photo, while the little girl ran off in embarrassment. She hadn't run far when her eyeball popped out, but she didn't even bother to pick it up.
After rolling its eyes a few times on the ground, it seemed to glance at Xu Yi before chasing after the little girl in the direction she had run off to.
Xu Yi sighed. Let alone the strange gossip, after being messed around like this, she just couldn't muster the will to clear the game right now.
"What should I do?" Xu Yi asked, looking up at the sky.
Actually, she was asking Xiang Bei for her opinion.
【Take it easy! People always have to face reality. Besides, you're not the one in the wrong, so why be so upset?】
Xu Yi carefully put the photos away and nodded vigorously. "Yes, the people who should be worried now are not me, but rather them."
Yu Jin looked around Xu Yi curiously. Seeing that no one was around, he hesitated before asking, "Were you talking to a ghost just now?"
【You're the one who's a monster, your whole family are monsters!】
Xu Yi pointed to where the comments were scrolling by, "That's not a ghost, that's my friend. You called her a ghost, and she got upset."
"I'm sorry." Yu Jin sincerely apologized to that spot.
Okay, I'll reluctantly forgive you.
She said she forgave you.
"Thank you so much." Yu Jin clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction Xu Yi pointed.
There's no time limit on the carousel, and this is their last activity. They sit here waiting for Gao Lin and Lu Ziyang to arrive.
Then they saw Gao Lin and Lu Ziyang riding over on horseback.
Rule Two: There are no horses or clowns in the circus. If you see a horse, immediately mount it and escape the circus. If you see a clown, ask him for help.
"What happened?" Xu Yi and the others rushed over and asked.
Gao Lin and the others dismounted, panting heavily.
She patted her chest and said, "It was really scary just now. We came out of the haunted house, and then a ghost came chasing us. Just then, a horse ran up to us, so we quickly mounted it, and the horse led us here by itself."
As she spoke, Gao Lin glanced at the map in her hand.
"Lu Ziyang, look!"
Stamps appeared at places they hadn't visited.
Lu Ziyang rubbed it with his hand and found that it was a real seal.
"Yes, why?"
"It must be because of the horse. When the horse appears, those things are automatically skipped, so when the horse carried you over, it automatically stamped the seal," Yu Jin explained.
"That's great," Gao Lin said happily.
Xu Yi, however, felt that it couldn't be such a coincidence.
Before she could think about it carefully, more photos arrived.
Gao Lin and the others also saw it and didn't understand why Xu Yi wanted to put away the photos of these two people.
Until I heard what had happened.
Gao Lin's eyes widened immediately, and she reached out to grab Xu Yi's arm. "Sister, what are we waiting for? This is a strange world, not a society governed by law. The rules don't say we can't lay a hand on those people. Where is that shameless bastard? Let's go, let's tear him to pieces."
The monsters immediately became excited, and the space itself became somewhat distorted. Xu Yi could even hear their excited voices, "Cut them into eight pieces, cut them into eight pieces!"
The little girl's words really touched their hearts.
They could only imagine Xu Yi tearing that man to pieces; the scene would surely be spectacular.
Xu Yi was truly speechless. She had originally planned for Zhao Chang to break the rules and die in the instance, but due to the disturbance caused by those monsters, she had to change her plans.
Let's rethink how to make Zhao Chang die on his own.
She has cheat codes and is not bound by rules. Yu Jin is in the same group as her, so he can follow her and it doesn't matter if he doesn't follow the rules.
But Gao Lin and her group are different; they have to follow the rules.
However, they did provide some additional hints.
Gao Lin and Lu Ziyang headed to the next location, waving to Xu Yi, "Sis, there are no rules in the supernatural world. You have to do your best to kill that scumbag."
A group of ghosts then shouted, "Kill the scumbag! Kill the scumbag!"
Xu Yi took off her mask and picked up the flowers in front of her.
He handed it to Yu Jin next to him, saying, "Could you please keep this for me for a while?"
Although Yu Jin didn't know what she was going to do, he still helped her put the mask away.
"Wait for me here. It's safe here. Those monsters won't hurt you," Xu Yi said.
“I know,” Yu Jin nodded.
He watched Xu Yi leave before getting back on the carousel.
"Brother, that's my seat." The child who had just left had returned at some point.
She was still holding her own eyeball in her hand. When Yu Jin looked over, she was putting her eyeball back into its socket.
Seeing the little girl return, Yu Jin quickly got up and returned the seat.
"Excuse me, I didn't know this was your seat."
The little girl wasn't angry; instead, she looked at him with a smile.
Looking at the little girl, Yu Jin surprisingly didn't feel scared.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Yu Jin shook his head. "Don't worry, you're quite cute."
The little girl was not only unhappy about being praised, but also said angrily, "Hmph, my mother said that a man's words are deceitful. You are a man, so you must be lying to me when you say that."
Yu Jin: "..."
Xu Yi didn't need to specifically ask where Zhao Chang and the others were; along the way, the ghosts guided her.
Zhao Chang and Xiao Ying are currently at the circus.
Before Xu Yi went over, she changed into her old clothes, which Sister Bei had given her earlier.
Watching her walk towards the circus, the eerie voice behind her sighed, "Humans are so complicated. Wouldn't it be better to just tear that scumbag to pieces?"
"Perhaps it's because humans aren't as strong as us."
"No way, this human doesn't look weak at all."
They were muttering incoherently, completely disregarding Xu Yi's feelings as the person involved.
Inside the circus, Zhao Chang and Xiao Ying were sitting there watching the performance, following the rules.
There were many permanent NPCs around. When Xu Yi came in, they all seemed to look in her direction, but they quickly moved back.
Right now, the only people who haven't seen her are probably Zhao Chang and Xiao Ying.
Xu Yi didn't go over directly.
There just so happened that the circus was having a magic show.
When the curtain was lifted, she came out, looking as if she had just arrived at this place.
Xu Yi looked around blankly for a moment, then her gaze fell on Zhao Chang.
Her eyes filled with tears, and she covered her mouth in disbelief, then whispered, "Ah Chang, is that you?"
Zhao Chang and Xiao Ying also saw her. Although Xiao Ying had seen her photo before, she couldn't immediately match the person with the photo.
Seeing Zhao Chang stand up excitedly, Xiao Ying looked over and recognized Xu Yi.
"You, who are you?" Zhao Chang stood up in disbelief.
Xu Yi looked at Zhao Chang, and Zhao Chang also looked at Xu Yi.
Compared to Xu Yi's delighted expression, Zhao Chang was more surprised and flustered.
He frantically shook off Xiao Ying's hand, pretending that nothing had happened.
"Ah Chang, I've finally found you," Xu Yi said, looking at Zhao Chang.
"Yi Yi, is it really you?" Zhao Chang still couldn't quite believe that the person in front of him was really Xu Yi.
When Zhao Chang saw Xu Yi appear, he was still somewhat incredulous, but when Xu Yi called out his name, Zhao Chang hesitated.
He even felt that Xu Yi in front of him was a trap set by a cunning man.
"Ah Chang, it's me. Don't you recognize me? Why did you leave me all alone on our wedding day? Do you know how I've been all these years?"
Zhao Chang looked Xu Yi up and down. This was the Xu Yi he remembered, but something seemed different about her.
"How did you end up here?" Zhao Chang hesitated before walking over and looking at Xu Yi.
He even reached out and pressed on Xu Yi's shoulder to confirm that it really was her.
[Xiao Ying is about to attack you, keep acting, I'll stop her for you.]
"Ah Chang, get out of the way!" Xiao Ying shoved Zhao Chang aside, grabbed something and threw it at Xu Yi. The sparks from the electric current exploded on Xu Yi's body, scorching her arm black.
Xu Yi was fine, of course. The way her hand looked was an illusion created by Xiang Bei. However, when the two forces collided, she still took a few steps back.
She simply took the opportunity to fall to the ground.
Xu Yi clutched her arm, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Ah Chang, it hurts so much!"
The monsters that were just watching the spectacle suddenly exploded with sparks, revealing their true nature.
In an instant, the people in the stands turned into monsters, baring their teeth and claws as they pounced on Zhao Chang and his group.
"Ah Chang, run!" Xiao Ying quickly came over and pulled Zhao Chang to run outside.
Zhao Chang ran a few steps after Xiao Ying, when Xu Yi called out to him from behind, "Ah Chang! Wait for me! Ah Chang!"
Zhao Chang was initially hesitant, but he couldn't break free from Xiao Ying's grasp, and with the monsters already surrounding Xu Yi, he had no choice but to run out with Xiao Ying.
"Yiyi, I will definitely avenge you." Zhao Chang, who had run out, swore to the circus in utter grief.
He didn't know why Xu Yi was here, and he never expected that Xu Yi would die so soon after arriving.
Zhao Chang felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Inside the circus, after Zhao Chang ran out, the monsters grumbled discontentedly, "You should have just torn him to pieces."
"Exactly, he could have broken free from that woman's grasp, but he still ran away with her."
"It's a pity we can't leave the circus, otherwise we would definitely help you tear that scumbag to shreds."
Xu Yi wiped away her tears, but she was not discouraged by the failure.
Zhao Chang claimed to love her, but if they were in real danger, he would definitely prioritize saving his own life. She had long known about Zhao Chang's heartlessness and wasn't disappointed by the outcome.
Yu Jin walked over, scratched his head, and asked, "Isn't it my turn to make an appearance?"
"Thank you for your trouble." Xu Yi nodded.
Zhao Chang lay on the edge of the flower bed, sobbing and calling out Xu Yi's name.
When she got emotional, she even pounded the edge of the flower bed twice, saying, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault! I killed her, I deserve to die. She was so timid, she must have been terrified when she died."
"Ah Chang, don't be like this," Xiao Ying comforted him with heartache.
But Zhao Chang pushed her away.
"Why did you throw things at Yiyi just now? If it weren't for you, Yiyi wouldn't have..."
Xiao Ying looked at him, tears streaming down her face. "I was afraid she was a ghost in disguise. The tools of the ghost realm can't kill humans. I didn't think that much at the time. I just didn't want you to be deceived, Ah Chang. I really just wanted to help you. I didn't want to kill her. I just wanted to help you."
“But you saw it, your weapon didn’t hurt her. She’s a human, not a monster. She is my Yiyi. You made me lose my Yiyi.”
Those who die in the Ghost Realm can never return to the real world.
He lost her forever.
"Ah Chang".
"Don't say anything more..." Zhao Chang thought it was Xiao Ying calling him, but he realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence.
He turned around and saw Xu Yi standing not far from him.
"How did you escape?" Zhao Chang asked Xu Yi with a look of horror.
"I'm the one who rescued her," Yu Jin said, stepping out from the side.
He also pulled out a mask, saying, "My partner, in order to save her, has already..."
The domineering woman who had clashed with him at the Ferris wheel was dead. If the scene hadn't been so inappropriate, Zhao Chang would have burst out laughing.
Before he could even laugh, Xu Yi had already walked up to him.
Thinking about how he had just abandoned Xu Yi and run away, Zhao Chang felt a little guilty in front of her.
"Ah Chang, are you alright? I was really afraid you'd get caught by those monsters," Xu Yi asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Zhao Chang avoided Xu Yi's gaze and shook his head.
"It's so good to see you're alright," Xu Yi said with a smile.
Zhao Chang's heart skipped a beat, and then he looked at Xu Yi.
She looked disheveled.
Moreover, this outfit was something they bought together. Because he complimented her on how good she looked in it, she said she would only wear it for him.
"Yiyi, how did you get here?" Zhao Chang asked tentatively.
Xu Yi looked at him, blinked, and tears streamed down her face. The thing Sister Xiang Bei gave her was really useful; whenever she wanted to cry, the tears would come instantly.
"Ah Chang, you've been missing for five years. I've tried everything I could, and I've finally found you."
Zhao Chang looked at Xu Yi, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and his mouth moved slightly, his expression deeply moved.
But that's still not enough.
"Ah Chang." Xu Yi closed her eyes, her body swayed, and she fainted.
"Yiyi." Zhao Chang quickly caught her.
He was deeply moved. If he had just arrived in this strange world and seen Xu Yi chasing after him, he would have been moved to tears.
But now that he has cleared one dungeon after another, when he faces Xu Yi again, he no longer feels the same way he did at the beginning.
However, he was certain that he still had feelings for Xu Yi, and he could guarantee that the position of his wife would only belong to Xu Yi.
"Yiyi, how could you be so silly? This is not a place for you at all."
Zhao Chang looked at the silly woman who had followed him to this strange world and felt a little touched, but not much.
Xu Yi's arrival will only bring him endless trouble.
"Ah Chang." Xiao Ying looked at Zhao Chang and frowned. "Are you going to bring her along? This is a hellish dungeon; we might not even be able to clear it smoothly by ourselves. Wouldn't bringing her along make things even more complicated?"
Zhao Chang thought one thing, but when others said it out loud, he became angry again. "Am I supposed to just watch her get eaten by the monster? This is my last dungeon to clear. If I can clear it successfully, I can go back."
He originally planned to go back to see Xu Yi after clearing this level, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to come to see him first.
He and Xu Yi did have feelings for each other, so how could he just watch her die?
Zhao Chang, supporting Xu Yi, looked at Xiao Ying and said, "You don't need to worry about her. I will protect her. After we clear the level, I will take her away myself. Also, don't even think about hurting her in front of me again."
Xu Yi, who was leaning on Zhao Chang's shoulder, couldn't help but roll her eyes.
I really appreciate him going to so much trouble.
Xiao Ying looked at him and patiently advised, "Ah Chang, have you forgotten that newcomers must clear ten dungeons before they can leave? You can leave, but she can't."
Zhao Chang paused for a moment, then glanced at the top of Xu Yi's head. "At least, in this stage, I have to protect her."
The rule of the eerie world is that after clearing ten dungeons, you can come and go freely in the eerie world.
After Xiao Ying cleared the level, she chose to stay, which is how she met Zhao Chang.
She fell in love with this man from their very first meeting.
After playing through several dungeons with him, I fell completely in love with him. Even though I had already completed the dungeons ten times, I still wanted to stay and be with him.
As for Zhao Chang's fiancée, Xiao Ying didn't care at all. This was a strange world with no worldly constraints, and the so-called fiancée had no idea what Zhao Chang was facing.
And how well she and Zhao Chang cooperated in the dungeon.
Xiao Ying never expected that Xu Yi would actually come looking for her.
The moment Xiao Ying saw Xu Yi, she had already made up her mind to let Xu Yi die here.
This frail woman will only bring Zhao Chang endless trouble.
Before Xu Yi dies, she must make Zhao Chang see clearly who is truly worthy of standing by his side.
Xu Yi slowly woke up, looked at Zhao Chang sitting next to her, and reached out to tug at his sleeve, "A-Chang, is it really you? I'm really not dreaming?"
"Fool, it's me."
Zhao Chang held Xu Yi's hand and looked at her with deep affection.
Xu Yi lowered her head, unable to suppress the nausea rising in her stomach.
She hadn't felt this way before, but now she felt nauseous and disgusted by Zhao Chang's touch.
Suppressing the discomfort, Xu Yi looked up at Zhao Chang again, trying to make her eyes look kind. "Chang, you've lost so much weight. You must have suffered a lot here."
Zhao Chang looked at Xu Yi and sighed, "Yi, you've lost a lot of weight. You said before that I disappeared for five years?"
“Yes, at our wedding, you left me with a note and ran away. Do you know how embarrassing I looked? I looked like I was looking for you everywhere. I only found out some information later and came here. That person really didn’t lie to me.”
"How could you be so foolish? I was about to go back to see you. Do you even know where this place is? You're just an ordinary person; you shouldn't be here at all."
Xu Yi looked at Zhao Chang with a puzzled expression, "But aren't you just an ordinary person too?"
“How can that be the same? We’ve cleared so many dungeons to get to where we are now. What makes you think you can compare to Ah Chang?” Xiao Ying interjected.
Xu Yi looked over and said, "So, you're all just ordinary people who got to where you are today. Then why can't I, an ordinary person, work hard like you to clear this dungeon and be with A-Chang?"
Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Xu Yi to say that.
Xu Yi stood up and walked to Xiao Ying. "Miss, thank you for caring so much about A-Chang. No matter what happens, I will definitely stay by A-Chang's side."
Xiao Ying looked unwell and could only turn to Zhao Chang, "Say something?"
"Yi Yi." Zhao Chang looked at Xu Yi helplessly, as if he were looking at someone who was being unreasonable.
"Stop joking around, you have no idea what's going on." Zhao Chang pinched his brow wearily, as if he were the one who had been hurt.
"Now Xiao Ying and I have to pretend to be a couple, or we'll die. But I assure you, we're innocent."
"Yes, I know, I believe you."
Zhao Chang was stunned for a moment. Xu Yi answered too quickly, and the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat.
