4-8: "They secretly did something bad."
The suburbs were deserted and overgrown with withered grass.
Snowflakes began to drift down intermittently from the sky, covering the existing snow.
The cold winter wind whistled past my ears and then swept away.
On the desolate asphalt road, only a single orange-yellow sun, about to be obscured, was reflected in the rearview mirror.
It seemed lonely and monotonous.
-
When Huaiyan woke up, the first thing she saw was the familiar ceiling of her bedroom.
He froze for a few seconds, then felt a splitting headache.
"You're finally awake," 073 said quietly. "I've been watching you sleep for five hours."
The boy had been sleeping soundly for a long time since he was driven back from the suburbs in the afternoon by a tall driver.
Huaiyan lay flat on the bed with difficulty, returning to the listlessness she had felt that morning.
He already had a slight fever, and after taking the medicine, he was given a warning by the ghost king in the car.
I'm afraid the cold and fever will only get worse.
“He caught me halfway to the Taoist temple,” Huai Yan said softly. “He knew what I was going to do.”
Things turned out exactly as 073 had anticipated.
073 sighed: "When I finished speaking and didn't hear your reply, I roughly knew what was going on."
Whenever such inexplicable occasions occur, 073 is always blocked out.
He could only wait quietly until the barrier separating the two disappeared, so that he could contact his host again.
“Maybe this is a good thing,” 073 said. “At least until now, the Ghost King hasn’t done anything to kill you.”
The five hosts ahead died in all sorts of bizarre and inexplicable ways.
The only thing they had in common was that most of them didn't survive the early stages.
Huaiyan is one of the few high-level hosts that can endure for so long.
"...Maybe." Huaiyan closed his eyes.
“You were brought back by a driver,” 073 said helplessly, “but that driver was wearing a mask, so I couldn’t see his face.”
Huaiyan nodded, not thinking much of it.
The two chatted for a while longer and decided to wait for the main character to appear.
After all, the protagonist is also a living father.
His troubles in the Huai family were no less than Jiang Feng's.
When the protagonist first entered the Huai family, he harbored endless malice towards the original owner of the body.
He felt that the affluent life he should have had over the years had been taken away by the original owner.
So after returning to the Huai family, the protagonist targets the original owner of the body both openly and secretly, including but not limited to stealing her boyfriend, her room, and various other things...
But in reality, the protagonist's family background is not bad either.
They were all from the same social class, and the babies were switched at birth. How bad could they be from an upper-class family?
It's just that the Huai family has a prominent family background and is considered a well-known figure in Beijing's social circles.
The original owner was a princeling in Beijing's elite circles, fawned over wherever he went, and always surrounded by bodyguards.
It's no wonder the protagonist is envious.
However, they didn't chat for long before the butler came up and knocked on the door.
Huai Yan didn't need to guess; she knew it was Jiang Feng, that lunatic, who had come knocking on her door.
He didn't go to class today, and Jiang Feng will definitely know.
As the protagonist, the male lead always has his own ways of finding out the original owner's whereabouts and activities.
At this moment, he probably rushed over in a hurry because he was afraid that his plan would be exposed in advance.
Huaiyan took a deep breath and slowly got out of bed.
His chest ached, but Huaiyan didn't have time to do anything in order to deal with Jiang Feng.
He didn't want Jiang Feng to come into his room.
The Ghost King is currently in Huai Yan's room. He doesn't know if Jiang Feng's arrival will lead to any secret plots with the Ghost King.
Just in case, Huaiyan didn't want them to meet.
“73,” Huai Yan said calmly, “Open the Dimensional Shop.”
Each dimension will have its own corresponding in-game store.
In the previous worlds, there were no particularly troublesome issues.
Moreover, buying something once requires a significant amount of points.
Although Huaiyan has not lacked points so far.
"What do you want to buy?" 073 opened his inventory and looked around. "Who are we going to use it against? Jiang Feng or the Ghost King?"
"It's not about dealing with it."
Huai Yan scanned the inventory quickly, "I just want to keep the Ghost King in line."
Even if it's only for a few hours.
Huaiyan flipped through several pages but couldn't find what she was looking for.
"Ah... I found it." A few minutes later, the boy exclaimed in surprise, "This one will do."
073 squinted at the item label and asked, "So, should I click 'buy'?"
A few seconds later, a line of large, bright red text popped up on the backend display screen.
[Land claim token purchased successfully!]
[Item Name: Territory Enclosure Talisman. Item Description: Allows you to make your desired ghost stand still and be at your mercy. Effective Time: Takes effect immediately after use. Number of Uses: Two.]
[This item lasts for two hours on the first use and one and a half hours on subsequent uses. Note: While using this item, you are invincible, ignoring all levels of monsters.]
Enjoy using it, host.
Huai Yan twitched the corner of her mouth.
Such outrageous product descriptions, such brutal effects.
But this is exactly what Huaiyan was looking for.
After using the land enclosure talisman, Huaiyan got up and changed into a pure cotton outfit that wouldn't be so uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the original owner's wardrobe contained virtually no items of poor quality.
Although these items don't show any brand or label, the fabric feels high-quality and the materials used are expensive.
Huaiyan guessed that all the clothes in this wardrobe were probably custom-made for the original owner.
Actually, Huaiyan had several dressing rooms on this floor, but he was too lazy to go and see them.
There's no need to be so formal when dealing with Jiang Feng.
When Huaiyan came downstairs, Jiang Feng was already on the sofa.
The other person's eyes lit up when they saw him.
The boy looked tired.
In order to avoid Jiang Feng noticing, Huai Yan pretended to be nonchalant and sat down next to Jiang Feng.
"Baby, why do you look so pale?"
"Did you secretly do something bad last night?"
