Chapter 124 Trash should be thrown in the trash can! ...
"What did you say?" Zhao Chang seemed unable to believe what he had just heard.
Xu Yi smiled at Zhao Chang, his expression still familiar, "Of course I believe you, how could you lie to me?"
Zhao Chang stared blankly at Xu Yi, speechless for a moment.
He looked at the familiar smile in front of him, his mouth moved, and he was about to speak when Xiao Ying grabbed his arm. "Ah Chang, don't forget the rules of the instance."
Rule 5: If one member of a team of couples survives, they can choose to revive the other member after the game ends. However, if one member betrays the other, both members must die.
Zhao Chang immediately calmed down, and the way he looked at Xu Yi changed.
"Yiyi, wait for me to come back."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded.
Zhao Chang settled Xu Yi in a place that seemed a little safer, and then left her the reward he had received for clearing the level—a talisman.
"Yiyi, you must take this amulet with you. Don't worry, I will come back to pick you up soon."
Xu Yi smiled and watched them leave.
After the person had walked away, he crushed the amulet in his hand.
This thing is of no use to her.
Yu Jin walked over at some point, watching Zhao Chang's departing figure.
Perhaps because of Xu Yi's sudden appearance, Zhao Chang and Xiao Ying deliberately kept their distance when they walked together.
Xu Yi glanced at it, took the mask from Yu Jin's hand, and put it on her face.
I don't know if they genuinely didn't notice or were pretending, but in the instance world, if a quester dies, there's an electronic announcement.
If she, as a mission participant, were to actually die, there would be an electronic voice notification. Yet Zhao Chang accepted it so easily. How did someone like that manage to clear the mission?
They didn't say their team was particularly strong.
Xu Yi withdrew his gaze and turned to find the partners of the other three members of Zhao Chang's team. It was a temporary group, and they didn't know each other well. However, those people either complained that their partners were clumsy and dragged them down, or they would take the opportunity to grope their partners.
When Xu Yi went to find the man who had previously invited her, his hand was improperly wrapped around her female partner's waist.
The female quest taker had tried her best to avoid contact with him in preparation for the dungeon mission, but Song Ce still shamelessly clung to her.
"What are you afraid of? It's all for the mission. If necessary, I can sacrifice myself. I don't look down on you, so what right do you have to look down on me?" Song Ce was very dissatisfied with his female partner's resistance.
"These are all dungeon quests, don't go too far," the female quester said, finally losing her temper.
This man's self-important manner is just too greasy.
She wouldn't have chosen such a partner if it weren't for the rules.
When the mission taker looked up, he saw Xu Yi walking over. She nodded at him as if to greet him, and then walked over and patted Song Ce on the shoulder.
When Song Ce turned around and saw that it was her, a greasy smile appeared on his lips. He looked Xu Yi up and down with a smug look in his eyes, and pressed his tongue against his cheek.
Seeing that Xu Yi hadn't spoken, he couldn't help but say, "What, regretting it? The good-for-nothing man you chose couldn't protect you, so you want to come back and beg me for help?"
When Xu Yi took off her mask and saw her face, Song Ce's eyes flashed with amazement, and even his posture became less improper.
He ran his fingers through his hair, struck what he thought was a cool pose, and looked at Xu Yi.
"Oh, you're a stunning beauty. Since you've shown me your face, fine, I'll..."
Xu Yi waved to Song Ce, who looked at her with a knowing expression, smiled, and got up to walk over.
Song Ce's female partner stared in shock at the scene before her. Xu Yi was beautiful, even as a woman, she could tell. But what shocked her was that the rules clearly stated no one could remove their masks, so why was Xu Yi unharmed after taking them off?
Xu Yi turned and walked away, and Song Ce immediately followed, saying, "Beautiful lady, slow down and wait for me."
As the number of people around him dwindled, Song Ce's smile grew increasingly greasy.
He thought he had seen through Xu Yi's tricks.
I think this woman is quite skilled at seducing men.
He couldn't wait to take off his coat and throw it on the ground.
Xu Yi stopped, and Song Ce laughed, preparing to hug Xu Yi. "There's not much people here, it's really perfect for the two of us."
"Strange, don't you recognize me?" Xu Yi asked Song Ce, somewhat puzzled.
Her words were also strange. Song Ce looked her over carefully and confirmed that he really had never seen Xu Yi before.
"It's okay if we're not familiar with each other yet, we'll get to know each other in a little while," Song Ce said with a smile.
"Haven't you seen my photo with Zhao Chang?" Xu Yi pressed down on the tentacles behind him that were itching to move; these monsters were even more impatient than Song Ce.
Upon hearing Zhao Chang's name, Song Ce barely regained some of his composure.
His gaze fell on Xu Yi's face, and an image immediately formed in his mind.
"So you're Chang's fiancée? Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he can't forget you. You're much prettier in person than in photos."
He stared at Xu Yi's face and sighed again at Zhao Chang's good fortune, having Xiao Ying by his side in this strange world.
There's also this stunningly beautiful fiancée outside.
Wait a minute, Song Ce finally realized what was happening.
Zhao Chang's fiancée has somehow ended up in a bizarre world.
He looked at Xu Yi, then at the mask in her hand, "How did you end up in this strange world?"
"It's not your house. You can come, but I can't? Weren't you very enthusiastic when you were stepping on me from behind?" Xu Yi looked at Song Ce with a smirk.
Song Ce's face turned pale with fright, his mind racing. "You know me?"
The fact that Zhao Chang's fiancée knew him meant that Xu Yi had been there all along, and had witnessed everything they and Brother Chang did.
She is not an ordinary person at all.
After Song Ce realized what was happening, his first instinct was to run away.
"It's a bit too late to understand now," Xu Yi sighed, no longer pressing down on the tentacles sticking out of the trash can behind him.
Trash should be thrown into the trash can.
By the time Song Ce tried to run, it was too late.
Those tentacles stretched out densely, instantly silencing his cries for help.
Just as he was about to be dragged into the trash can, Xu Yi suddenly spoke up.
"Wait a moment!"
Song Ce looked at Xu Yi with hope in her eyes, thinking that Xu Yi would let him go for Zhao Chang's sake.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Xu Yi reached out, "Take the person away, but leave behind his completion reward."
Song Ce's eyes widened. He couldn't understand who Xu Yi was, that he dared to speak directly with the strange creature.
How could Gui possibly listen to him?
As a result, the tentacles lifted his feet and swung him up and down many times, causing his belongings to fall off. Song Ce was dizzy from the shaking and felt nauseous but couldn't vomit because his mouth was gagged.
The tentacles even gathered up the things that had fallen off him and handed them to Xu Yi.
After Xu Yi accepted the reward, those tentacles dragged Song Ce into the trash can.
The moment they were dragged inside, the electronic speakers started playing.
Currently, there are nineteen surviving mission members.
As she turned around, she saw Song Ce's female partner standing not far away, looking at her with a terrified expression.
Seeing Xu Yi walk towards her, the other person quickly took a few steps back, looking at Xu Yi with a terrified expression, "Are you human or a ghost?"
"I am a human being," Xu Yi said firmly.
"Then how can you..." make the eerie creature obey?
Xu Yi understood what the other party meant, but she didn't want to explain her gossip again, so she simply handed Song Ce's prop to the other party.
If Zhao Chang's henchmen have so many props, he must have even more himself.
"Take these. Although he's dead, I don't think having these items will prevent you from clearing the game. Of course, if you feel pressured, you can revive him after you clear the game."
Xu Yi felt that after the other party's death, they probably wouldn't be willing to revive Song Ce.
Sure enough, the other party gritted his teeth and said, "Who wants to revive that bastard?"
"But you've given me all the props, so what are you going to do with them?" the other person asked again.
There are quite a few of these items, enough to help her get through these dungeons.
"I have my own props."
"My name is Meng Yu." The other person took the prop and gave his name.
Xu Yi nodded. "You will definitely pass the test smoothly."
"Thanks."
Xu Yi then used the same method to lure them over, where those cunning men killed Zhao Chang's other two henchmen, one of whom was Guan Le's ex-boyfriend.
The other party was quite clever, almost letting him pass the message out. But he didn't expect that Xu Yi's existence was itself a bug, and the message was intercepted halfway.
Xu Yi gave their props to their respective female partners.
One was named Li Zhirou, and the other was named Qu Yan.
Now, only Zhao Chang and Xiao Ying remain.
Xu Yi didn't want to dirty his hands with these shameless people, so he simply let them break the rules, and the monsters in this instance would naturally take care of them.
Ultimately, Zhao Chang is just someone who loves himself more.
Xu Yi felt there was nothing wrong with loving herself; she just didn't agree with Zhao Chang's approach of loving himself while using her as an excuse.
Many people were deceived by Zhao Chang, who repeatedly used them as shields in the dungeon, thinking that he was a loving and good man.
Xu Yi felt disgusted just thinking about it.
Unaware that he had already broken off his engagement with her in real life, and believing that they were still engaged, he used the excuse of a mission to engage in inappropriate behavior with other girls.
What a cowardly and irresponsible bastard.
Even his underlings are a group of people with warped values.
What kind of world-saving hero is this?
Xu Yi even felt that she was more suitable to save the world than him.
He's useful here as a clove of garlic.
She cracked her knuckles and, when Zhao Chang arrived at a certain place, had those eerie people throw out the photos of his intimate encounter with Xiao Ying.
Then she appeared at just the right moment, enjoying the way Zhao Chang panicked and desperately tried to defend himself after seeing the photo.
Xu Yi only asked a couple more questions before Zhao Chang began to get impatient.
His face flushed red as he roared at Xu Yi, "Are you done yet? I already said it's just a mission. We're pretending to be a couple. If we don't complete the mission, I won't be able to leave. Xu Yi, what are you doing? Do you still want to get married?"
"It's been impossible for us to get married for a long time, hasn't it?" Xu Yi looked at the other party coldly.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Chang's expression flashed with impatience.
He was already exhausted enough, and Xu Yi still had to make a fuss over such a trivial matter.
"On our wedding day, before the ceremony was even over, you abandoned me and ran away, giving me such a huge gift. Zhao Chang, do you really think I'd be foolish enough to wait for you?"
Zhao Chang looked at Xu Yi in disbelief, as if trying to see if she was being sincere.
Perhaps failing to discern the joking expression on Xu Yi's face, Zhao Chang remained stunned for a long time before finally managing to stammer, "Are you crazy? Who else would want you besides me?"
After saying that, Zhao Chang looked at Xu Yi very calmly and said, "Let's all calm down first, Xu Yi. If you continue to make a scene like this, the wedding will have to be canceled."
Even at this point, Zhao Chang was still threatening her with the possibility of not being able to marry him.
Xu Yi slapped him across the face, then looked at Zhao Chang and sneered, "What, you know you're in the wrong, so you insist on portraying me as a madman? Not to mention your own shameless behavior, you're trying to make yourself look like a victim facing a madman?"
It's not that she has a problem; it's just that Zhao Chang wants to turn the tables and pin everything on her so he can stand on the moral high ground to criticize her, and then tell her that the only person who can treat her well is him.
Zhao Chang covered his cheek, feeling a strange familiar sensation of being hit.
Before he could think further, Xu Yi spoke first, "Zhao Chang, can you explain to me why the damage you suffered in the strange world was transferred to me?"
"What did you say?" Zhao Chang asked blankly, but the guilty conscience in his eyes betrayed him.
He was fully aware of this matter.
Xiao Ying stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao Chang, saying, "I was the one who used the conversion talisman. A-Chang had no idea. If you want to do something, come at me."
"You like him that much?"
Xiao Ying turned to look at Zhao Chang, "That's right, I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. Don't give me that useless talk about ethics and morality. In this strange world, those are the most useless things."
Xu Yi sighed softly, and Xiao Ying found herself unable to move. Some tentacles emerged from the ground and bound her hands and feet.
He wanted to ask Xu Yi what she had done to him, but found that she couldn't speak. He could only watch helplessly as Xu Yi walked towards Zhao Chang.
Xu Yi held a card between her fingers. "I just got a prop, Zhao Chang. I think this prop is very suitable for you, so I used it on you."
Zhao Chang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly put on his protective gear, but it was too late. The card in Xu Yi's hand had already turned into specks of light, pierced through his protective gear, and flew into his body.
“Zhao Chang, you yourself made that poisonous oath, that betraying someone's sincerity deserves to be punished by swallowing ten thousand needles and being struck by lightning. This punishment is to tell you not to make oaths lightly, because they really will come true.” Xu Yi looked at him expressionlessly.
Zhao Chang wanted to grab his other props, but his hands wouldn't move.
He couldn't control his mouth, and then watched helplessly as ten thousand needles appeared in front of him.
"Yi Yi, save me! Have you forgotten our relationship? I am your A-Chang, your beloved A-Chang." Zhao Chang finally felt fear and looked at Xu Yi with pleading eyes.
Unfortunately, he was afraid, not because he knew he was wrong, but because he was afraid he would die.
"Zhao Chang, all of this is your own fault. Who told you to be dishonest? If you've fallen for someone else, just admit it. Why all the pointless attempts to cover it up? You know what kind of person you are. Since that's the case, you should accept the punishment for breaking your vow."
The needles went into Zhao Chang's mouth and, without him having to swallow, pierced his throat.
Xu Yi glanced at Xiao Ying, then put the mask on her own face.
"It's you! It's actually you!" Zhao Chang stared at Xu Yi with a distorted expression.
He never expected that the woman who clashed with him in the first place was Xu Yi.
He tried to reach out and grab Xu Yi, but a sudden bolt of lightning struck him. Zhao Chang was charred beyond recognition and lay on the ground, barely clinging to life.
Xu Yi looked at Xiao Ying, whose limbs were being gripped by tentacles, and reached out to remove her mask.
She had a very pretty face, but the gaze she gave was full of resentment.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Xu Yi asked.
The two of them had never met, had no conflicts or disagreements, so why should she hate her?
“If it weren’t for you, Ah Chang would have been mine sooner or later. He was clearly about to give up on you. I saw it all. Ah Chang deliberately threw your photo into the fire. He was ready to give up on you.”
Xu Yi looked at her, then at Zhao Chang, "I think you're right. This is a bizarre world. All talk of ethics and morality is just empty words. So you two trash, go to the trash can together."
Xiao Ying struggled unwillingly, but could only watch helplessly as the tentacles dragged her into the trash can.
Zhao Chang wasn't much better off. His throat was so pierced by needles that he couldn't speak or even make a sound. After being struck by lightning, he couldn't move his body. Before being taken away, he could only use two fingers that he could still barely move to grab Xu Yi's trouser leg.
"Help...me!"
[Save him my foot, let him die.]
Xu Yi didn't even use the strange tentacles to drag Zhao Chang inside. Instead, he simply picked him up and threw him into the trash can.
As I always say, trash should be thrown into the trash can!
A short while later, several tentacles emerged and presented her with many props.
Xu Yi guessed correctly; Zhao Chang did indeed have a lot of items, including those he obtained himself by completing the game and those he stole from others.
The props he and Xiao Ying used together were so numerous that they almost filled a cloth bag.
Xu Yi distributed the props to Gao Lin and the other two, as well as the three girls.
An electronic sound rang out at that moment.
Congratulations everyone, you have completed the game.
Gao Lin was still somewhat incredulous.
"We cleared it just like that? Wasn't this a hellish dungeon? I even asked the clown for some items."
Meng Yu also said, "I just saw the amusement park ride start automatically and I told the staff. This mission is too easy; it doesn't seem like a hellish dungeon."
Xu Yi heard some unusual words; it was the strange creatures beside him speaking.
"It's because the original plot was disrupted, and the planned storyline got messed up."
"We'll have to reorganize it. Those people were lucky."
"Hahahaha, right, right, I'm so tired of this lousy script. Let's rewrite it and make the mission takers more excited."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a little girl's figure flashed by, and the head of the monster who was laughing the loudest was melted through.
I was hit by a little girl because I said the plot was bad.
Xu Yi guessed that the little girl must be the big boss of this instance, but she didn't tell anyone else.
This time, she didn't go to the next instance with Gao Lin and the others either.
She wanted to go home to visit her parents.
Although Gao Lin and the others felt sad that they could no longer travel together, they couldn't stop them from going home. "Then, Sister Yi, if you miss us, come and see us."
"Yes, I wish you all the best in clearing all the dungeons and returning home safely."
Xu Yi waved his hand and saw the portal that belonged to him.
After opening it, I found myself in my familiar room.
However, there were some unfamiliar things in her room, such as unfamiliar clothes and unfamiliar bags.
The clothes were her size, and the bag was her favorite brand.
The door was pushed open, and Xu Yi saw her mother.
When Yu Meiling saw her daughter, she was incredulous. "Yiyi, you're back?"
Xu Yi then realized that five years had passed since she left.
After not seeing her for five years, her parents must have been terrified.
She didn't know how to explain what happened to her in the strange world, and her parents didn't ask any questions. They were already satisfied to see her return safely.
Xu Yi then learned that because of the engagement, the Zhao family had been frequently suppressing their business.
Their family was indeed not as well-off as the Zhao family, but they never expected the Zhao family to resort to such despicable means behind their backs.
Even so, her parents still bought her new clothes and bags every year and put them in her closet.
Xu Yi looked at her parents and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't think things through and I've dragged you into this."
"Silly child, why say such things? As long as you are well, your father and I are fine."
Thinking of the Zhao family who had suppressed their own family, Xu Yi sneered, "Mom and Dad, I also have some gifts to give to the Zhao family."
She brought back those photos from the bizarre world.
We were just trying to be prepared, but we didn't expect the Zhao family to be so shameless. Their son ran away from the wedding, and they were in the wrong, yet they still angered the Xu family by breaking off the engagement.
Then she wouldn't hold back.
Although the Xu family's business is not as good as before, they can still hire a few big media influencers.
Those photos of Zhao Chang were all taken in high definition with no blind spots.
It's absurd that a man whose son has run away from his arranged marriage and is having an affair is preventing the woman from annuling the engagement.
She, Xu Yi, should just wait patiently for Zhao Chang to come back.
Xu Yi and her family of three held a press conference. She didn't need to say anything; just sitting silently with red eyes was enough to win public sympathy.
The Zhao family came looking for Xu Yi and asked if she knew Zhao Chang's whereabouts. Xu Yi looked at them calmly and said, "He probably will never come back."
They sent Zhao's parents away.
At the same time, Xu Yi was also thinking about how her family could take advantage of this wave of popularity to turn things around.
"Dad, have you ever thought about making holographic games?"
"But we don't have that kind of technology."
Yes, I have it. I can make whatever I want.
Xu Yi looked up at the sky, a smile playing on her lips. "Dad, let's change careers."
She used her experiences in eerie worlds as a template to promote immersive, eerie dungeon games.
Of course, Xiang Bei also gave some other things, and Xu Yi also gathered other game designers to work together on all kinds of immersive games, including fantasy, ancient romance, modern romance, and more.
But unexpectedly, her holographic eerie game became the most popular in the end.
In the words of one of the testers, it was so real that they felt like they were being torn to pieces, with a tingling sensation all over their body.
It wasn't actual death, of course.
If the game is lost, players can only re-enter the game after 72 hours. Everyone objected, feeling that 72 hours was too long and demanding that the time be shortened.
Xu Yi insisted that he could only re-enter the game after 72 hours, because he was careful to prevent himself from becoming addicted.
People in the company also support it, thinking that this kind of scarcity marketing is great.
The explosive popularity of holographic games has energized everyone in the company.
Xu's father retired contentedly, handing everything over to Xu Yi to manage.
Just then, Xu Yi received an invitation from a strange world.
We cordially invite her to serve as a staff member in the bizarre world.
Staff members are different from mission takers, and they are also different from the fixed NPCs in the instance world. Staff members can travel to any instance, giving them a high degree of choice.
You can also return to the real world at any time.
There's not much danger involved.
Xu Yi also asked Xiang Bei to take a look and confirm that the invitation was not gimmicky and was simply an invitation for her to work as a staff member.
I was just worried about not having any inspiration after finishing the previous dungeon development, and this invitation is like a timely rain.
So Xu Yi immediately accepted the invitation.
At the same time, Xiang Bei was also notified by the system that she had completed her task and was ready to leave.
