Chapter 28 Apartment Copy (I)
Whether she can survive is another matter, but it is true that Ning Hanqi was almost angered to death by the game. Over the years, this damn game is probably the only thing that can break her defenses.
Couldn't it be later? Why at this moment...
As the saying goes, quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, but that also assumes that they happen in bed... She had already seized the opportunity.
But now, not only did it fail, but Nuannuan also distanced herself further away from him. The way she looked at him was almost like a spirit sucking people's energy... Ning Hanqi even suspected that the game was deliberately designed to annoy him.
She was teleported into the dungeon from her hospital bed and appeared directly on the bed in the apartment. She felt that her body, which had finally recovered somewhat, was now starting to feel dizzy again. This was probably either a sequelae of entering the dungeon or she was just angry.
"You don't think our relationship can last, and you still choose to be with my former self?" Xia Yingnuan felt that there must be a lot of things in between.
"Yes, what future can there be between humans and ghosts, or ghosts in copies? They have received high scores, so why do they have to come back again and again..." Ning Hanqi unconsciously clenched Xia Yingnuan's hand.
Xia Yingnuan opened her mouth but didn't say a word. It might sound a bit ridiculous, but after seeing the love and sadness in Ning Hanqi's eyes when he recalled the past, she suddenly felt a little jealous of her former self.
Ning Hanqi sighed deeply, "That's what I thought, but I can't stand you sticking to me again and again. Then you keep coming back to try to get the status of the son-in-law, making other players think that this status is some kind of lucrative opportunity..."
At the beginning, Ning Hanqi also suspected that she had bad intentions and wanted to use him to do something. Nuannuan also spent a long time to gain his trust. Even when thinking about the past now, Ning Hanqi still thinks that the fact that the two of them could be together was... an intriguing miracle.
Xia Yingnuan: "???"
"So I also want to know why you dare to pursue a copy of the ghost. If you remember, remember to tell me." The topic went around in circles, and the answer finally lay with Xia Yingnuan.
"...I'll try my best." Xia Yingnuan couldn't find any clues to the answer from her memory, but her past self was still herself. She wouldn't be like her current self, who was attracted to Ning Hanqi because of her beauty, right?
No, no, no, that shouldn't be the case. In such a precarious situation, it's impossible for her to fall in love with a ghost who could take her life at any time.
So what happened then? Love at first sight? Probably not. Could it be that I really had… ulterior motives?
Xia Yingnuan only felt a chill spreading from her heart. She didn't know whether it was intuition or something else, but she didn't dare to look Ning Hanqi directly at her.
“Crash…”
“Woo woo…”
In the room where none of them spoke, the sounds outside were particularly clear.
There was a strange melody mixed in with the sounds of waves and sea breeze. At first, Xia Yingnuan thought it was just the sound of wind blowing on the glass, but later she realized that it was not right. It was more like something singing!
The sounds seemed different, like a chorus of many, many things!
Xia Yingnuan immediately used her ghost power to seal Ning Hanqi's ears, but before that, Ning Hanqi had already heard the chanting in the sea.
Unlike Xia Yingnuan, the chanting she heard drowned out the sound of the waves and the sea breeze, even making Xia Yingnuan's voice blurred.
Ning Hanqi's soul was still broken, which meant that she was easily affected by spiritual forces. As the chanting became stronger and stronger, she felt the pain from the depths of her soul.
Ning Hanqi didn't feel a little better until Xia Yingnuan used her ghost power to help her block out the sounds.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Xia Yingnuan took two napkins from the bedside and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Much better." Ning Hanqi shook her head. She blinked hard, and those strange hallucinations like eating poisonous mushrooms gradually disappeared from her sight.
In this way, Xia Yingnuan used her ghost power to isolate her from the influence of the outside world. The singing of the fish outside lasted for a long time. After about two hours, the sound gradually faded away.
They waited for a while, until they were sure that the school of fish would not return. Then Xia Yingnuan said to Ning Hanqi, "There should be no danger tonight. Go to sleep."
"We still have to deal with the tour guide tomorrow morning, so go to sleep and don't worry. I will wake you up an hour in advance and you won't be late." Xia Yingnuan's voice was exceptionally gentle, like a soft sea breeze soothing her tense spirit.
An hour early?
Ning Hanqi closed her eyes. She was already very tired because she had just been in a quiet environment for a long time, and she felt even more drowsy.
Her consciousness was blurred for a moment, as if she was asleep but not asleep, and then she was awakened by the "person" next to her.
The sun is shining brightly outside, and you can feel its warmth even with the curtains drawn.
"Hanqi, stop daydreaming and change your clothes to go eat! It's already 7 o'clock. Aren't we supposed to gather at the restaurant at 8:00?" Xia Yingnuan reminded.
Hanqi...
Ning Hanqi replied softly, "Okay."
She changed her clothes, washed up, and went out. On the way, she met Gao Yu, who asked her about what happened last night with concern and felt lucky that they had escaped again.
After dinner, the tour guide came to the restaurant with a lot of diving equipment. He told the players that there would be a diving activity today and everyone had to follow his command to see the scenery under the sea.
The player had no choice but to get a diving suit and put it on. Then, under the guidance of the tour guide, he got on the boat. Everyone went over, leaving Ning Hanqi standing there motionless.
"Don't be afraid, I'll pull you over." The tour guide extended his hand to her.
Ning Hanqi seemed a little hesitant, but still stretched out her hand. However, just when the tour guide was about to touch her, Ning Hanqi suddenly attacked, grabbed the other person's hair and pulled him over, while in her other hand she held a dagger and quickly and accurately cut off the tour guide's head.
In an instant, the scene around Ning Hanqi shattered, the day turned into night, the sun turned into the moon, and the small boat in front of her disappeared without a trace. She was on the deck, with the endless ocean in front of her.
“Plop!”
The thing with a human body and a fish tail fell down, and what Ning Hanqi held in his hand was the head of a strange fish.
After a long time, seemingly because no one had bothered it since the glass was broken, the child finally came out from the corner.
It stuck its head out of the broken window. There was no one below, and since there was quite a distance between the tree fork and the sixth-floor building, its short little arms certainly couldn't reach it.
It tried stretching out the longest clothesline, but it was still a little short.
Then it made a bold decision. It flipped out of the window and stepped on the air conditioner outdoor unit.
"The child has fallen outside!" Xia Yingnuan lowered her voice. After all, the child was a little close to their room now. It would not be good if the child was scared and fell out after hearing her voice.
"Did it just kick out...that guy's head?" When Ning Hanqi heard the sound of glass breaking, he could think of what this naughty kid had done.
"You guessed right, such a naughty child... gives me some déjà vu." Apart from the little monster brought in by the monster outside, Xia Yingnuan couldn't think of any other ghost.
Sure enough, the principal is unreliable.
"Don't let it really fall." If it really fell, Ning Hanqi knew without thinking that there would be trouble.
"I'm watching." Xia Yingnuan was more concerned about who sent the "ball" in the child's hand, the monster that she had just torn apart?
Does it recover so quickly during the day?
She frowned slightly and expanded the range of her perception. It was almost dark now, and no one could tell what would happen next.
Just when she was tense, she suddenly felt something touching her lips.
Xia Yingnuan subconsciously opened her mouth and bit the potato chips that Ning Hanqi handed to her.
"Don't be nervous. Even if that monster comes, it can't beat you. Come and have some potato chips." Ning Hanqi was relatively calm and didn't seem to be worried about what the monster was planning.
Seeing her calm expression, Xia Yingnuan's anxiety was soothed unknowingly.
"That's right, that thing can't beat me anyway." Xia Yingnuan smiled, and her tone became a lot more relaxed.
It’s not a big deal. As long as it’s within the rules, it’s okay even if we tie up that monster, the principal, and the dean of studies and whip them together!
Thinking of this, Xia Yingnuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Under Ning Hanqi's confused gaze, she took the initiative to take some potato chips from his arms and stuffed them into her mouth. Sure enough, she still preferred the tomato flavor.
“Boom boom boom!”
However, just as they were waiting for the players' replies while staring at the child, there was suddenly a knock on the door next door. The "person" knocking on the door was very strong. Not to mention the child outside, even Xia Yingnuan and Ning Hanqi next to them were startled.
"Students inside, come out quickly!"
Is that the principal's voice?
Perhaps the news from the teaching building was leaked, and the principal appeared here quietly. Ning Hanqi glanced at his mobile phone and found that there was no news. It seemed that other players did not know whether the principal was there or not.
Her expression grew slightly more serious, and a bad premonition and the screams of the children outside appeared almost simultaneously.
The initial knock on the door had already scared the child standing on the air conditioner unit, and the principal's roar made things worse. It was trembling with nervousness, and didn't dare to go back to the dormitory. So it got excited and tried to jump onto the air conditioner unit on Ning Hanqi's side. Its legs were short and it was in a panic, so as expected, it slipped and fell.
However, before it fell to the next floor, it was tied around the waist by a blood-red ribbon, and the whole "person" was swaying in the air.
“Wooooooaaaa…”
The child was crying loudly in mid-air, and Xia Yingnuan had no choice but to open the window and lift it up.
Perhaps Xia Yingnuan's face brought a huge psychological trauma to it, so it cried even more miserably when it was pulled up.
"Don't cry. I can't beat them, but I can beat you." Xia·Cold-blooded·Yingnuan threatened.
This child was a little different from other students. Other children would only cry louder when threatened, but this child seemed to have really understood the hidden meaning of Xia Yingnuan's words, so he closed his mouth and tried hard to hold back his tears, but he couldn't help sobbing.
The principal at the next door heard the noise and came to their dormitory door and knocked.
"Teacher Ning? Are you there?"
"Yeah." Not only was there no paint, there wasn't even red ink or a red marker. "Forget it, let's go."
Ning Hanqi understood what was going on and stopped worrying about it. Then she and Xia Yingnuan went to the snack area.
"Is there anything Nuannuan likes?" Ning Hanqi calculated the balance in his hand. In addition to leaving the necessary emergency money, he could also buy some snacks for Xia Yingnuan.
But Miss Xia was unhappy again. She left the word "no" coldly and disappeared.
After a while, Ning Hanqi found a bag of eggs, a piece of pork liver and a bag of spinach in her shopping cart. They were all inexpensive and nutritious. Although she didn't say anything, these things had helped her express all her concern.
Ning Hanqi could hardly contain his inner joy, so much so that the NPC acting as a cashier hesitated to take out the ghost money when he saw the bright smile on the human player's face. He couldn't quite understand the human player's intentions, and the other party's happiness made him feel creepy!
