Ilya's feelings were unclear, but on the surface, he remained unmoved regardless of whether he was rejected or not.
Qianyuan had no choice but to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but having such a companion by her side did make her feel much more at ease.
Especially since he had just encountered a group of big bad guys.
They walked side by side for a while, as if Ilya had dispelled the cold fog of the night.
Qian Yuan involuntarily counted his heartbeats. To hide his unusual behavior, he asked, "Are you also going to the mortuary to look for clues?"
Ilya nodded.
The others dared not speak.
Oh well, Ilya's the boss anyway, whatever he says goes.
However, it's really rare to see Ilya looking like an old house on fire; he's really not afraid of embarrassing himself...
The sentiment in the comments outside the game also underwent a complete 180-degree shift. Ever since Ilya appeared and started chatting with Chiyuki, the comments praising Ilya's handsome face instantly reversed course.
"Baby, open your eyes! Why are you so careless? What if we run into bad people?"
"Damn these bastards! Doesn't the Chinese management team care? What are they doing? What if something happens to my baby?"
Everyone's watched their kids grow up, maintaining a fatherly mentality. They were already feeling regretful that they wouldn't be able to see such adorable kids anymore, and it was hard to adjust. Then, their kids barely grew up before some shady character with ulterior motives appeared.
"That means a celestial being like our Bao should have ten bodyguards. Besides, he looks weak and can't fight. He looks so easy to bully. He's really too dangerous!"
The twisted and chaotic ending of the previous game instance was concealed by the observation team using their privileges and was not made public nationwide, as it involved a top-secret event. Therefore, the average viewer was unaware that Shi Qianxi had been by Qianyuan's side all along.
Seeing that Qianyuan was about to be in danger, they all wished they could shield her with their own bodies and drive away all those who coveted her.
But no matter how hard they tried to break through the defenses from the outside, things remained peaceful and serene inside.
Ilya protected Qianyuan throughout the entire process, and when they sneaked into the mortuary together, he even carried Qianyuan as they climbed over the wall.
Qianyuan wasn't in good physical condition, so he held her and didn't intend to put her down.
"Thank you, I can walk by myself."
Ilya gave a perfectly reasonable reason: "The breathing is too loud, it'll be easy to be noticed."
Chiyuki nestled in Ilya's arms: "But..."
Ilya: "That's how we take care of our injured teammates, don't overthink it."
Other teammates: Ah, right, right, right.
When they were injured before, Ilya didn't even want to carry them. He didn't want to have any physical contact with others, so he would just grab people by the back of their necks and drag them away, only ensuring their survival and not anything else.
Seeing this, they couldn't help but curse inwardly:
Damn double standard dog, you pretentious bastard!
When they were almost inside the house, Ilya put Chiyuki down and let him follow behind him.
Who knew that the blond man from the enemy country would be one step ahead of them, seemingly taking a shortcut and killing all the NPCs in the mortuary, leaving all the clues inside in a mess.
"This is a game instance designed based on China? It seems that even the instances are so weak because of the background."
The blond man muttered to himself nonchalantly as he summoned a strange creature he had forcibly raised.
It was a vampire, a pitiful monster whose mouth and nose were firmly controlled by the blond man with a bite stopper, its body covered in wounds and in great pain, and the collar around its neck dragging with blood scabs.
The monster obeyed his command, swallowing the NPC's corpse whole. Just as it was about to wreak havoc on the mortuary, someone shouted from behind:
"Who's patting me on the back?"
The people around him were also startled by the man's frightened gaze: "What are you talking about? There's no one behind you!"
The man's jaw was chattering: "But I feel...so cold..."
His breath emitted smoky steam, as if the temperature in the entire room had suddenly dropped!
Then, with a few sharp "pops," a cold wind blew by, extinguishing the candles and closing all the open doors and windows.
The people inside were in complete chaos: "What happened? I can't see anything!"
"Damn it, hurry up and get the prop gun out."
In the chaos, it seemed someone actually fired a prop gun, but after the thunderclap subsided, he realized that he had killed his own companion.
The look of terror still lingered on his companion's face; it was the extreme contortion his features could muster, so contorted that it didn't even resemble human features.
Another clap of thunder flashed, and a figure swept past the window. Then, a chilling feeling crept up their spines. They scattered in fear, hiding under the bed and in the closet, holding their breath as they heard heavy, thumping footsteps approaching.
He can't see me, he can't possibly find me.
A pale hand reached out from the shadows and gently rested on the man's shoulder once more.
He held his breath and slowly turned his face. His companion's dead body was lying beside him, its distorted features almost touching.
From its gaping mouth, like a black hole, something unpredictable seemed about to crawl out.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
The enemy team members were basically terrified and collapsed.
The blond man clicked his tongue in disapproval as he watched the scene unfold. Although he had used a prop to relight the room, their chances of winning were slim.
At this moment, after scaring these guys, Shi Qianxi swallowed the most core monster in the mortuary and attached herself to the tallest paper figure in the main hall.
