Chapter 6 Haunted Houses in the Republic of China (VI)
The "person" who had just spoken harshly was slightly stiff. She came to Ning Hanqi's side, supported the shaky person, and asked with concern: "What happened? How did you get hurt like this?"
Look at this white and tender arm. The cut is so deep that the bone is visible, and the flesh and blood are exposed. The young lady's face is pale with pain and she looks so pitiful.
Xia Yingnuan felt like she had fallen into her old habit again. Unlike some ghosts, she did not have a special desire for flesh and blood, but she was always soft-hearted towards this beauty who was so close to her heart.
"Accidentally..." Ning Hanqi's eyelashes trembled slightly. Even though he was in so much pain, he still showed a pale smile when he saw Xia Yingnuan. "I met a strange lunatic. She tried to take advantage of me, so I slapped her."
After hearing this, Xia Yingnuan was stunned for a moment and took great effort to restrain herself from laughing. The gloomy feeling that her beloved thing had just been touched by other dirty things was swept away.
She reached out and picked up Ning Hanqi, who was almost unable to stand, and looked at her beautiful eyes which widened slightly, like a frightened deer.
"There is actually a murderer in the mansion who dares to hurt people. He is so bold." Xia Yingnuan put Ning Hanqi on the bed. Something in the shadow pushed the medicine box to her feet. Xia Yingnuan took out the medicine that Ning Hanqi needed and applied it to her wound, then gently bandaged her with a bandage.
Xia Yingnuan sighed in her heart that she must be the kindest and gentlest game boss in all the game copies. The next time human players say bad things about her on that website, she will just drag them all in.
"Next time if you meet those strange people, remember to run away quickly, okay?" Delicate humans are like tofu. If any ghost comes, a slight pinch can take her life.
Xia Yingnuan caressed Ning Hanqi's delicate doll-like face. She was so beautiful, especially her eyes. The pupils reflecting the candlelight were more beautiful than the starry night sky. She hadn't seen the starry sky for a long time. The night sky in the copy was always gray. It would be a pity if such a person really died at the hands of those dirty things.
Or why not just brand this person with your own stamp?
"That person said she was your sister and grabbed me and wouldn't let me leave." Ning Hanqi spoke in a gentle tone. If her hands hadn't been trembling slightly when she was bandaging her, one would have thought she didn't feel the pain.
Xia Yingnuan paused, and the smile on her face faded a bit. "I don't have a sister anymore, ma'am, you should know that."
"That's a... madman."
When mentioning that person, Xia Yingnuan's tone was no longer as gentle as before.
The candlelight in the room flickered, casting shadows surging beneath her feet.
Players who have just entered the game copy have not yet figured out the hidden precautions. For example, the word "sister" is like a taboo word to Miss Xia.
If someone else said this, it might directly start the escape phase, but there was still a dangerous look in Xia Yingnuan's eyes, but also some rationality.
"She does look like a lunatic, so I beat her today..." Ning Hanqi bit her lower lip, looking quite pitiful.
"Are you afraid now?" Xia Yingnuan chuckled, although the smile did not reach her eyes.
"That crazy woman is vindictive. You slapped her today, and she will never let you go."
"Unless..." She whispered slowly in Ning Hanqi's ear, "You kill her first."
A dagger stained with undried blood appeared in Xia Yingnuan's hand. She placed the dagger in Ning Hanqi's hand, and blood flowed through Ning Hanqi's fingers. "Use this to help me kill her, okay?"
When Ning Hanqi got the dagger, the game prompts automatically appeared in his mind.
[Eye-gouging Dagger: Someone once used this to gouge out Miss Xia's eyes. To this day, the dagger is still stained with lingering blood and the deceased's resentment.]
[This is a gift from Miss Xia. It can cause fatal damage to ghosts and monsters. However, after accepting this dagger, Miss Xia's eyes will always be on you.]
There is no such thing as a free lunch. The "gifts" given by ghosts to players will also have to be paid for in the future. However, there are always people who want to seek wealth and fortune in danger, and even take the initiative to enter the game dungeon to hunt for props.
"good."
Ning Hanqi's expression did not fluctuate much, but the hand holding the dagger was shaking slightly. However, even so, she still agreed.
Congratulations on obtaining the item: Eye-Gouging Dagger.
[After binding this item, you have no right to unbind it. ]
Xia Yingnuan looked very happy, and stroked her long hair and said, "You are so good."
She also thoughtfully prepared a beautiful scabbard for Ning Hanqi to prevent the sharp blade of the dagger from cutting her delicate hands.
Tired of watching humans struggle for survival time and again in this house where the sun never shines, Xia Yingnuan, now looks forward to a game for once.
It was a novel experience to let that bitch die at the hands of a human this time.
However, the power gap between humans and ghosts is too huge. Xia Yingnuan wrapped her arms around Ning Hanqi's waist, and her grip felt very good, as if it could break with a little force.
The wound on her arm had just been treated. Even if she took this dagger to find that guy, what were her chances of winning?
Xia Yingnuan wondered if she was getting a little old and was becoming indecisive. Just as she was thinking about all these things, Ning Hanqi's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Where did you go today? I couldn't find you."
It sounded like a small complaint.
"Are you looking for me?" Xia Yingnuan came back to her senses and was a little surprised when she heard this.
She knew that Ning Hanqi had been walking around outside, but she thought he was looking for clues about the exit. How could she have imagined that he had been looking for her for a whole day?
Is there really anyone who is willing to live with ghosts day and night?
Xia Yingnuan expressed her doubts about this, but even if these were just sweet words Ning Hanqi said to cheer her up, Xia Yingnuan was amused. It was like a pet kitten at home rubbing against your arms and acting coquettishly to beg for food. Isn't it cute?
The most important thing is that she didn't realize that there was a lie, which was really strange.
"If you want to see me so much, I will follow you from now on~" The charming female ghost in red dress put her arms around Ning Hanqi's waist and smiled sweetly. No matter whether Ning Hanqi was saying sweet words to please her or not, she would make the sweet words become reality.
The young lady's reaction was somewhat beyond her expectations. Instead of feeling nervous, her ears turned red.
"Yeah." Ning Hanqi responded softly.
Where did Yugi find the treasure for her?
I felt that if I didn't bully her, all my efforts in playing the game would be in vain.
"Haven't you had time to eat dinner yet? I'll have someone bring it over." Xia Yingnuan said as she asked someone outside to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
After a while, a skinny old woman came with a carved food box. Her skeleton-like fingers opened the lid of the food box, and the aroma of food that could arouse one's appetite wafted into the air.
The food box contains meat, vegetables and soup, which is very rich.
If it were another occasion, this sumptuous dinner would surely make people's mouths water. However, the sight of this old woman who looked like a mummy would make people lose all worldly desires.
Xia Yingnuan also knew how much it would ruin the appetite to have this "person" standing next to her. Perhaps she was in a good mood today, so she waved her hand to let the other person leave, and then put the food on the table. Because Ning Hanqi's right arm was injured, she fed him personally.
She scooped up a spoonful of minced meat and egg custard and brought it to Ning Hanqi's mouth. The minced meat had been chopped so fine that it was no longer recognizable as what creature it originally belonged to. With a little soy sauce, it didn't look unusual.
"Don't worry, just eat." In the light of the candle, Xia Yingnuan's already charming makeup became even more alluring, like a bewitching fairy.
Ning Hanqi opened her mouth obediently. The egg was steamed to perfection, fresh and tender. The other dishes were also very good. She ate in small bites and did not refuse anything Xia Yingnuan handed her.
This kind of undisguised trust made Xia Yingnuan both happy and worried. She believed everything she said. Would she be easily deceived in the future?
Ning Hanqi couldn't eat much, only half a bowl of rice made him full, and he couldn't eat another bite.
He only eats so little, no wonder he feels so light when I hold him.
Such a thought inexplicably flashed through Xia Yingnuan's mind, but she soon remembered something more important.
"Did you go to the small pond today?" Xia Yingnuan asked, supporting her head.
"I went there. The scenery there is very beautiful. I wanted to see if you were there." Ning Hanqi's tone seemed to contain a hint of grievance that she didn't know where to go all day.
There is no feeling of lies.
Xia Yingnuan laughed at herself in her heart for worrying too much. She was just a new player who had just entered the game and hadn't even learned about it. How could she possibly...
"Don't go there next time. It's very dangerous."
"...I got it." Ning Hanqi was as well-behaved as ever, making Xia Yingnuan feel at ease.
But perhaps because she was so well-behaved and docile, Xia Yingnuan didn't notice that the other person said "I know" instead of the usual "OK" or "Yeah".
It was not until their positions were reversed and she was completely controlled by this human woman that she suddenly realized that her sweet words from the very beginning were all "lies" that circumvented the rules.
