Chapter 135
"Hey, Sixth Brother, do you think that person is still alive?"
Wu Jin hung listlessly on the back of the chair and weakly asked Tong Ming, who was also slumped on the sofa.
Tong Ming stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes: "What that guy?"
"It's the fourth sister-in-law."
After a long while, Tong Ming slowly turned his eyes and looked at Wu Jin with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
"He's living a happy life, what could possibly happen to him?"
Tong Ming pressed his swollen eyes and said, "We should worry about ourselves."
The other monsters responded weakly.
In a villa, there are a lot of weird monsters lying around.
The situation of the domain master is unstable, and the situation of his followers is not much better. The domain master is now in a state of chaos, and the spirits of his followers are inevitably affected.
The reason they didn't lose their minds and go out to kill indiscriminately was all thanks to Yun Shiqing's skill [Solid Heart Like a Realm].
If they had not been protected by the safe house set up by Yun Shiqing, they would have been influenced by the Domain Lord and fallen into a state of bloodthirsty madness.
"How long will it take?" Qin Xiu held Wusa in his arms, and the man and the cat collapsed together: "We can't keep going like this forever."
Tong Ming murmured without confidence: "It's almost there, it's almost there"
A powerful monster like Cen Xun needs to upgrade while fully awakening, so it won't return to normal so quickly.
Seven days ago, Cen Xun fully awakened in Sishen Village and devoured all the superpowers who went to Sishen Village, including the humans who later rushed to support Sishen Village.
Tong Ming estimated the time and waited until Cen Xun's condition had stabilized and he became less violent and bloodthirsty before he led a team to Sishen Village to pick up Cen Xun.
[Destiny] is eyeing the throne of God, and we can't let Cen Xun stay outside all the time, it's not safe.
Even with the protection of their status as followers, Tong Ming and others still spent a lot of effort before they successfully transferred Cen Xun.
Tong Ming closed his eyes, but could still recall the dangerous scene at that time.
The underground caves were intricate and the puppet threads spread wildly, making it almost impossible to see the rock wall below. They walked forward on the puppet threads, and from time to time they could see a pale dried corpse pierced by the puppet threads. There was no sound around, only dead silence.
They were unable to get close to Cen Xun's core body, so they could only take a roundabout way to save the country. They asked the [Walker] to mark the space along the edge of Cen Xun's body. After the marking was completed, they would teleport Cen Xun's entire body back to Nightmare University.
But even so, they still encountered a lot of hallucinations. Several times, they had clearly completed the marking, but when they woke up, they found themselves still at the starting point.
Cen Xun was difficult to deal with to begin with, and after he fully awakened, he became even more difficult to deal with.
Thanks to Tong Ming's omniscience and Yun Shiqing's [Solid Heart Like a Realm], they were able to withstand the pressure of hallucinations and teleport Cen Xun back to Nightmare University.
But this is not the end, it is the beginning.
After returning to his own strange domain, Cen Xun's body automatically hid in it, and Feng Jihan, who was wrapped in the core, also disappeared. The unstable fluctuations brought about by the domain master's upgrade spread to their followers along the contract, and their lives became difficult.
All the low-level followers were taken into an upgraded state and fell into a deep sleep, while the high-level followers were affected both physically and mentally. They felt uncomfortable all over and kept wanting to go out and kill some people to calm down.
Although players haven't noticed the problem yet, in fact, Nightmare University has almost come to a complete standstill at this time.
Fortunately, the players were busy preparing for war and getting ready to face the next wave of strange troops from the Federation. They did not stay in the Nightmare University headquarters for a long time, so they had not noticed anything unusual.
Tong Ming knew very well that a short-term shutdown was not a big problem. Once Nightmare University was shut down for a long time and the Seven Evils discovered something unusual, that guy would most likely attack directly to the Nightmare University headquarters and end the war directly.
Involving a betting agreement, Nightmare University must win this battle.
Yun Shiqing is the only undisturbed monster among them. In order to stabilize the battle situation, Yun Shiqing has been going out early and returning late these days, constantly representing Nightmare University, commanding players to resist the federal army, handling all matters during the shutdown of Nightmare University, and also having to divide his attention to take care of Tong Ming and other affected monsters. He is simply doing the work of a hundred people.
Tong Ming thought to himself that his brother was really good at finding people. Even his former mortal enemy was now used as a top-notch bull or horse by his brother.
Speak of Cao Cao, here he is. Tong Ming was just sighing when Yun Shiqing came back with a tired look on his face.
"Are you feeling better today?" Yun Shiqing looked at the decadent and weird people in the room, remained silent for a moment, and then asked.
The ghosts all shook their heads.
Yun Shiqing found a chair to sit down, propped up his forehead and thought for a moment, then said, "Did you remember anything?"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the ghosts flashed slightly.
"I do remember a little bit," Qin Xiu said hesitantly, "it's from my time as a human."
Shen Yaoshan nodded, his eyes complicated: “I also remembered something about my family.”
Tong Ming said weakly, "Normally, when a Domain Master levels up, his followers will level up along with him. Perhaps he has also broken the skill that caused your amnesia."
"My brothers and sisters and I all lost our memories due to the rewinding ability of [Time]. As for you, 0001, 0002, and 0096, you lost your memories due to the warden's [Judgment of Sin]."
Tong Ming murmured, "At this moment, these skills have become ineffective due to the upgrade."
"Let's wait a little longer," Tong Ming sighed, "Once Fourth Brother has completely adapted to the changes, it should be fine."
Yun Shiqing asked the same question as Wu Jin: "Is it okay for the atheist to stay at the core of his body?"
When Cen Xun woke up, Feng Jihan was right next to him. Logically speaking, Feng Jihan should have been sucked into a mummy like those psychics.
Tong Ming couldn't bring himself to tell him that Feng Jihan had almost been made into a puppet by Cen Xun, and that he had puppet threads still in his body, which was how he escaped. So he played dumb and said, "Don't worry, they are true love. Why would my brother eat him?"
Yun Shiqing was skeptical about this.
If Feng Jihan wasn't eaten, why haven't we seen him for so long?
Feng Jihan was walking with Cen Xun on the beach.
The waves were like layers of white gauze skirts, gently washing the soft sand. He and Cen Xun walked on the beach, leaving behind a trail of footprints. The sky was clear and the sea was blue. It was a truly refreshing and beautiful scene.
Cen Xun's floor-length hair was braided by Feng Jihan, and small wild flowers picked from the roadside were dotted in her hair. She looked a little too beautiful. Feng Jihan put the white sun hat on Cen Xun's head, and it looked good no matter how he matched it.
"What did you trade with Chaos?" Feng Jihan held Cen Xun's hand and asked him, "Can you tell me this?"
Feng Jihan only knew that Cen Xun sacrificed a skill to Chaos, but the content of the transaction between them was unknown.
Cen Xun didn't answer but asked, "Do you still remember the mind-reading skill I gained when the nightmare world restarted?"
Feng Jihan nodded: "I remember."
"That's the skill I sacrificed to Chaos." Cen Xun faced the sunlight, squinting his eyes slightly. "We agreed that when the time is right, Chaos will return it to me."
Feng Jihan was puzzled: "But how does He know?"
Cen Xun: "The nightmare world was constructed with the help of Chaos' power. Therefore, the nightmare system is mixed with Chaos' will."
After that fall, the system decided the time had come and returned the skill using the excuse of the faction's first kill.
Feng Jihan finally figured out the answers to these questions, but what followed was even more confusion: "But what can he gain by doing this?"
Making a deal with Cen Xun, creating a nightmare world, and returning skills at the right time, Feng Jihan was completely unable to see through Chaos's true purpose in doing these things.
Cen Xun's answer was simple and clear: "Successor."
"Um?"
"He is willing to cooperate in order to obtain a qualified successor."
Cen Xun stopped and looked at Feng Jihan: "Our bet is 'love'."
Feng Jihan suddenly understood something and glanced at Cen Xun: "That's why you asked me to teach you."
"You've taught me, haven't you?" Cen Xun placed his hand on his heart: "Although I no longer have a heart, it's still full, filled with a little bird."
Feng Jihan's head suddenly became hot. Even after so many years, he still couldn't resist Cen Xun's love words.
Cen Xun's eyes deepened slightly, and he reached out and rubbed his face: "Innocent little bird."
Feng Jihan held his hand and tried to suppress the heat: "It's just a little hot from the sun."
Cen Xun smiled and took off the sun hat and put it back on his head: "Is it still hot?"
Feng Jihan fanned himself and said, "It's still a bit hot. Why don't we go fishing and cook fish tonight?"
Cen Xun agreed.
In this deserted world, it seemed as if there were only the two of them, and Feng Jihan completely ignored these anomalies, just pretending that he was still in the real world.
It was another wonderful day of walking, fishing, cooking and sleeping.
In the evening, Feng Jihan woke up with a start. Cen Xun, who was lying next to him, was nowhere to be found. The window was wide open, and in the wildly fluttering gauze curtains stood a humanoid creature made of silk threads.
The black and white threads scattered all over the ground. As if sensing that he had woken up, the figure moved and "looked" towards him.
Feng Jihan looked at the other person for a moment, tried to lift the quilt, and patted the place beside him.
The humanoid thread figure stood motionless for a while, then lay down beside him.
Feng Jihan covered him with a quilt and gently patted the bulging quilt, as if coaxing a tantrum child: "It's okay, go to sleep."
In fact, Feng Jihan knew very well that this was not reality, but a dream woven by Cen Xun. Cen Xun trapped him here for one reason to protect him, and another reason was probably that Cen Xun could not adapt to his current body immediately.
After all, Cen Xun has been a human for almost ten years.
If staying in the dream can make Cen Xun feel more at ease, Feng Jihan can stay here with Cen Xun forever.
Under the quilt, the scattered silk threads climbed up Feng Jihan's body.
Feng Jihan froze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I was trying to comfort you out of kindness, so why are you repaying me with hatred?"
Rustling sounds were heard one after another, and the constantly moving silk threads left a strange cold touch on the skin. Feng Jihan reached out to grab them, but his hands were tied tightly by the silk threads.
"hiss"
Feng Jihan's neck was stained lightly red, and the silver ends of his hair were stuck to his face. He was breathing softly. He couldn't see what was under the quilt, but he felt the buttons of his pajamas on his chest being picked up.
A bit too exciting.
Feng Jihan didn't know how Cen Xun did it, but in the end, he was squeezed dry and watched the silk thread with spots on it slowly slide out from under the quilt.
Feng Jihan's head buzzed and exploded.
How, how can you play like this?
Feng Jihan watched the silk threads swim into the bathroom and was speechless for a long time.
On the fourth day after the principal's complete awakening, the ghosts in Nightmare University clearly felt the pressure relieved, and the chaotic state brought by the Domain Lord was greatly alleviated.
Some monsters whose status had recovered began to return to work, including Ursa.
After not going to work for several days, Wu Sa planned to clean the principal's office first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a familiar figure.
Wusa was stunned for a moment, then immediately beamed with joy: "Principal!"
Cen Xun sat upright behind his desk. Apart from the expressionless face and a slightly longer hair, he looked unchanged.
He said calmly, "Secretary Wu, give the order and start the meeting in ten minutes."
"Okay." This meeting was a bit sudden. Wusa stopped his cheerful pace and responded puzzledly, asking, "What is the topic of the meeting?"
Cen Xun: "Regarding the future development plan of Nightmare University."
After receiving the news, all the ghosts rushed to the conference room, with solemn expressions on their faces.
They had already held a meeting about the future development of Nightmare University, but at this special moment, Cen Xun, who had just recovered his previous memory, expressed his intention to renegotiate the matter. This was undoubtedly a bad signal.
For contenders for the throne like Tong Ming, Kong Zhen, and Shi Xu, Cen Xun's attitude towards them was a matter of life and death. If Cen Xun disliked them after regaining his memory and decided to eliminate them once and for all, then their attendance at this meeting was likely just to deliver food to Cen Xun.
It just so happened that Cen Xun's level was upgraded, and the Shenxing nightmare ruler's restraint on Cen Xun was greatly weakened. Even if he ate the faculty and staff, Cen Xun would not suffer too much backlash.
What Yun Shiqing, Shen Yaoshan and others were worried about was Cen Xun's attitude towards humans.
Whether Cen Xun will continue to operate Nightmare University in this way after he recovers his memory and rely on virtual game copies to earn points is also a big unknown.
The worst possible scenario is that Cen Xun abandons operations and directly attacks the real world.
As the meeting room approached, the ghosts' footsteps grew heavier. Only Wu Jin swept past them like the wind, dashing towards the meeting room with brisk steps while excitedly shouting, "Fourth Brother, if you want to eat, I'll be the first one to eat! Don't let anyone else snatch it from me!"
Chen Yaoshan pointed at Wu Jin's back and said to Yun Shiqing with a wry smile, "Even if Wu Jin is cured, he will still drool."
Qin Xiu turned his gaze and saw Tong Ming's almost pale face. He couldn't help but frown slightly: "Are you okay?"
Even if he was afraid of being eaten, Omniscient wouldn't be so scared, right?
Tong Ming forced a smile and said, "It's okay" I don't think so.
In Tong Ming's vision, they were not walking in a spotless corridor, but in a passage made up of countless silk threads.
The corridors are filled with hanging silk threads, which can immediately pierce the skull of their prey as long as their owners want.
Tong Ming had never been afraid of anything, but when he saw himself in such a dangerous area, even someone as brave as Tong Ming could not remain calm.
No matter what everyone was thinking, the door of the conference room was just around the corner.
