With veins bulging on his arms, John gritted his teeth and used every ounce of strength he had, but he still couldn't hold onto the little zombie. He couldn't help but curse, "Fuck! What did this little zombie eat to grow up like this?"
"No, I can't hold him back! I can't hold him back!" Old Zhang's face turned bright red, and the skin on his palms had been rubbed off by the chains.
At this moment, the little zombie was like a ferocious beast that had just been released from its cage. A faint red light appeared in its eyes as it stared fiercely at Old Zhang and the others, its murderous aura soaring to the sky.
Charlene slowly approached the little zombie. Seeing Charlene's movements, John shouted in terror, "Charlene, what are you doing? It will tear you to pieces!"
Xia Linyin reached out her hand to the little zombie and said gently, "Xiao Li, you are Xiao Li, right? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
The moment Xia Linyin's arm reached out, the little zombie suddenly opened its mouth and bit her arm. John and Lao Zhang couldn't help but gasp in surprise, but Xia Linyin did not dodge.
The little zombie stopped just before its teeth touched Xia Linyin's skin. It let out a low growl, as if warning Xia Linyin that if she didn't pull her arm back, it would bite it off.
Xia Linyin simply looked at the little zombie with gentle eyes, as if she was certain that the little zombie wouldn't bite her.
Under Xia Linyin's gentle gaze, the little zombie slowly retracted its sharp teeth, and its ferocity gradually subsided.
Xia Linyin walked over and squatted down in front of him, raised her hand to touch his face, and then pulled him into her arms. "I know you must still recognize me, Xiao Li."
Xia Linyin guessed that Xiao Li's situation this time was probably the same as the clown's. With Xiao Li's level, she must be a boss-level existence in the game, so every time the game arranged Xiao Li to be the last character that players needed to defeat.
In the previous game, he forcibly entered the game as a mermaid, an identity unrelated to the game. Perhaps he expended some power, or perhaps he was influenced by the game, and he became what he is now.
But no matter what he looks like or how his memory is affected, he can still recognize her.
Even if he becomes a zombie, he can suppress his body's instinct to crave blood and not harm her.
Xia Linyin wasn't too worried about Xiao Li's current situation. Although he had become similar to the three little zombie NPCs in every aspect except for his strength, Xia Linyin believed that Xiao Li's memories would gradually return to normal later on.
"Xia, what's going on?" The little zombie, who had just been running wild, was now nestled in Xia Linyin's arms like a docile lamb. John looked at the scene in astonishment.
Good heavens! He must be seeing things, right? Is this quiet, well-behaved little zombie the same one as the one from before?
“Xia Linyin…” Old Zhang frowned slightly as he read Xia Linyin’s name, then suddenly slapped his forehead. “I remember now, Xiao Chen, isn’t she the girl you played Assassin with before? And then, that NPC, the boss in the game, committed suicide for her. I’ve heard everyone mention it. So this time… this little zombie…”
Old Zhang pondered, "Could it be that Xia Linyin has a special item that makes NPCs like her?"
Yin Yichen looked thoughtful. If he hadn't played the assassin game with Xia Linyin, he would have thought that Lao Zhang's idea made sense. But in that game, before the Rose Assassin even appeared, Xia Linyin told them it was useless and they couldn't deal with him, as if she already knew about the Rose Assassin.
So, is this little zombie the same NPC as Rose Killer?
