Chapter 37 The Crybaby's Endless Escape (18)
Si Yisi: "..."
Unbearable! He intercepted Chen Mengxi's dagger attack with one hand, his black pearl-like eyes brimming with tears. In that instant, his expression was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked, filled with despair and disbelief.
Seeing this, Chen Mengxi smiled gently and mouthed, "You will be killed by me, dear cousin."
Si Yisi's eyes darkened for a moment. His eyelashes were still wet with tears, but his demeanor suddenly changed.
"Who was killed by whom, cousin?" He laughed, like a demon gazing into the abyss, his eyes deep and cold, filled with an inorganic luster.
A sense of inhumanity.
"Ying Qing!" Chen Mengxi, who was locked onto by this almost tangible murderous aura, hurriedly called out to her "boyfriend".
Just as Shen Yingqing was about to bring down his knife, he was completely drawn to Chen Mengxi.
"Phew, that scared me to death." Mo Wuchang jumped around and dodged for a while, his whole body soaked in sweat. He couldn't help but complain, "Those guys who pretend to be weak are really annoying!"
"Hey—I wasn't talking about you, boss." Mo Wuchang realized he had included his boss in the conversation and quickly tried to salvage the situation.
Si Yisi gave him a wistful look.
Who's going to pretend to be a pig?!
His system would never do something so low-class!
Shen Yingqing embraced Chen Mengxi in his arms, and as he brandished his long sword, an invisible pressure pressed down on Si Yisi and the others!
Then Shen Yingqing turned around as if he had grown a pair of wings, easily leaving in front of Si Yisi and the others, and went straight up to the second floor.
"That woman's gone mad!" Mo Wuchang cursed. "It's a miracle that the players survived the monsters' attacks, let alone have time to stage a scene of infighting?!"
“Crazy? My cousin is perfectly normal.” Si Yi thought of the dagger that Chen Mengxi used to attack him, which had mysteriously disappeared before his eyes, shrouded in black mist, and cried out, “She seems to be… possessed by a ghost, or has gained the abilities of a ghost.”
"Chase after them." Si Yisi didn't hesitate at all and quickly climbed back up the stairs.
At this moment, Chen Mengxi was put down by her "boyfriend" Shen Yingqing. She fiercely scratched several scratches on Shen Yingqing's arm with her fingernails, behaving extremely arrogantly.
"Why didn't you kill them! Aren't you a high-level player?!"
“Xi Xi,” Shen Yingqing said in an overly sweet tone, “I’m so worried about you getting hurt, so we’d better use external forces to kill the guy you hate.”
"Hmm?" Chen Mengxi laughed, like a venomous snake extending its tongue. "Then you must torture them properly—don't let them die too easily."
“Of course, Xixi’s wish is my wish.” A thick ghostly aura rose from Shen Yingqing’s body. “In a little while, this place will become my ghost domain.”
"By then, all the ghosts and monsters will be subdued by me... They will make Shen Chen wish he were dead."
"Boss, don't you think their sudden escape is suspicious?" Mo Wuchang asked. "It's obviously a trap!"
Si Yisi wiped away her tears and looked at him: "A trap? It's nothing more than ghosts and monsters. Do you think I'd be scared?"
"Just get rid of them all."
Mo Wuchang reflexively straightened his back. Right, so what if he's a high-level player?
This is undoubtedly a survival game with a horror theme. If they could actually exchange for skills, they would probably choose those related to ghosts and monsters.
Mo Wuchang was not religious, but at this moment he silently drew a cross, aimed at the closed room, and kicked it!
"Squeak." The door creaked open, wide open. It hadn't been closed at all, which was awkward.
Mo Wuchang scratched his head and faced Chen Mengxi and Shen Yingqing head-on.
The two adulterers, who were having an affair, exchanged a kiss and then looked at them with disdain, as if they were looking at dead people, when they saw them come in.
Mo Wuchang was about to explode. You can look down on him, but what kind of boss are you?!
He casually grabbed a broom from the side and threw it at the adulterous couple.
"Crack!" The broom was cut in half, but as it fell, dust flew up and covered Chen Mengxi and Shen Yingqing!
Looking at Chen Mengxi and the others' pale faces, Si Yisi had to admit that Mo Wuchang was really good at being disgusting.
Seeing Chen Mengxi trembling with anger, Shen Yingqing's pupils instantly ignited with a sinister black flame.
With an arrogant and disdainful attitude, he reached out and took the entire room into his palm!
Black mist surged wildly from the floor, ceiling, and walls of the room, quickly transforming the shabby rental room into a gloomy ghost realm!
"Heavens!" Mo Wuchang's mouth dropped open. He quickly poked Si Yisi with his little finger. "This guy isn't even human anymore!"
If one or two people are cheating, how are we supposed to have a good time playing?!
"Ten demons and monsters, heed my command and kill them!" Shen Yingqing's eyes were sharp. The moment his voice fell, several ghost heads pierced through the walls, floor, and ceiling!
While Mo Wuchang was still stunned, Si Yisi had already gained some inspiration from the way the ghost heads were now embedded in the wall—
He picked up a wooden stick and used it as a hammer, striking down one gopher with each blow!
Isn't this just like a mutated version of whack-a-mole?
When Si Yisi was playing whack-a-mole, her teary eyes were fixed on the hideous ghost head without blinking, giving off a joyful feeling. She seemed completely immersed in this fun game!
While Si Yisi was striking, he had Ah Tu assist him from the side—several ghosts hadn't even had time to all emerge before Si Yisi had already scattered them and eliminated them!
Chen Mengxi, who was originally waiting to see Si Yisi tortured to death by ghosts, froze with a smile, but then she saw dozens of ghosts crawling in unharmed, and her smile returned to normal.
Si Yisi beat up a few ghosts and then stopped—he always had to leave himself some fresher fun, didn't he?
The ghosts and monsters crowded into the small room.
They formed a circle in front of Si Yisi and Mo Wuchang, completely surrounding them, like a pack of wolves eyeing two thin little lambs.
However, we need to carefully consider who the hunter is and who the prey is.
After all, the food chain can sometimes be reversed.
Mo Wuchang shivered at first from the sudden chill in the room, the cold seeming to seep into his very bones. But when he clearly saw the faces of the ghosts and monsters before him…
Wow, if the timing weren't so bad, Mo Wuchang would have whistled a tune.
Most of the ghosts in front of me are familiar ghosts—
Isn't that bald, eyebrowless female ghost with long hair hanging from her neck the Hair Ghost?
The toilet ghost, its body twisted unnaturally and stuck inside a large porcelain vase.
Even the two female ghosts, whose eyeballs were about to fall out and whose bodies were dry, scorched, and smelly, looked strangely familiar.
The air conditioner ghost and... the female driver.
Two beetles were jumping around next to the air conditioner ghost with its long, drawn-out eyes.
The elderly landlord, supporting his back, was panting with every step. The cane he was leaning on had turned into a neatly severed human leg.
Shen Yingqing's talk of "ten directions of ghosts and monsters" seems to refer to the key ghosts and monsters in this escape game.
Mo Wuchang recognized the familiar ghosts, and these hideous ghosts naturally recognized the two familiar people as well.
The ghosts: "..."
"Tear them apart!" Shen Yingqing commanded, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
Chen Mengxi held Shen Yingqing's arm, a gentle, cloud-like smile still lingering between her brows, but in this setting, that smile could only be described with one word—
It feels out of place.
Unaware of the danger, the ghosts bared their fangs and claws as they pounced on Si Yisi and the others, with gusts of eerie wind rushing towards them with each movement!
Mo Wuchang, with his keen eye, watched the ghosts quietly retreating from this ghostly circle, and surprisingly... he showed no fear or other emotion in the face of being pressed down by a multitude of ghosts.
Si Yisi sobbed intermittently, completely terrified out of control. He trembled like a lost little rabbit, blinking his eyes and holding back a single tear.
Si Yisi faced the monsters rushing towards him head-on, and he blinked—
"Huh?"
"whee……?!"
The ghosts were suddenly thrown back by a powerful force. When they regained their footing, the ghosts with physical bodies felt a chill on their heads!
One touch—his entire head had been shaved into a Mediterranean style! Strands of hair drifted down to Si Yisi's feet!
The ghost was like someone thrown into a boiling pot, it exploded and turned into a pufferfish in a rage!
"Awoooooo!"
But this was just an appetizer! Si Yisi first swept away all the sharp weapons in the ghost's hands and made them all her own!
Even the elderly landlord, whose legs were trembling, did not fall down with his cane.
Si Yisi seized the opportunity, grabbed his thigh cane, and stabbed the wide-open mouths of the ghosts with astonishing speed—then he used a confiscated long knife to string the ghosts together like candied hawthorns!
Mo Wuchang stared in disbelief at Si Yisi's solo performance!
Boss, you're awesome!
Blood gurgled from the mouth of the strung-up ghost, and tears streamed down Si Yisi's face, the culprit.
After making a long string of candied hawthorn skewers, he swung his long knife and swept across the area!
Wherever the long sword touched, the yin energy dissipated, and ghosts and monsters fled.
The ghosts, including the hair ghost and the toilet ghost, stopped sneaking away. In their terrified eyes, they saw the figure of Si Yisi, who was filled with murderous and sinister energy!
The next moment, they pounced on Si Yisi, as if making a final struggle!
Si Yisi raised his knife—
The next instant, several arms reached out and grabbed Si Yisi's legs, while several ghosts turned on Shen Yingqing, who had summoned them, with sinister expressions!
The ghost clinging to Si Yisi's leg tried its best to show her its teary eyes. The ghostly eyes were filled with a pleading look, which made people's hearts tremble.
And yet, it felt... utterly ridiculous.
The air conditioner ghost's eyes were always drooping, unable to perform the difficult action of looking up at Si Yisi.
She panicked and immediately pinched her rotting eyeballs with her decaying hands, desperately trying to get closer to the Great Demon King!
Si Yisi: "..."
He tried to move his foot, but... it wouldn't budge. These ghosts seemed to be planted in the ground.
Another group of ghosts, rushing to retaliate against their master, headbutted Shen Yingqing one by one with their bald or Mediterranean-style heads, and grabbed his arms with their semi-transparent bodies, pulling him against the wall of the room—
Chen Mengxi hadn't expected this turn of events. She was now part of the ghosts' hunt for rewards. One of the ghosts grabbed her long hair and ripped it off strand by strand, seemingly trying to tear it off along with her scalp!
"Aaaaaaah!!" Chen Mengxi screamed in alarm.
At this moment, her resentful expression overlapped with the one she wore when she killed Shen Chen in the previous life.
But now—she is no longer the hunter on high, but the prey being hunted!
"Call Asi, call Asi!" Suddenly, Chi Chun's intermittent calls echoed in Si Yisi's mind.
"...Yes." He answered in a hoarse voice, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, still savoring the exhilarating feeling as he spoke.
Chi Chun said over there, "Ah Si, are you alright?... Oh no, I mean, did you have a good time?"
"You are in a polluted small world. In order to purify the small world, the main system wants you to bring back the female lead, Chen Mengxi."
“There’s another way,” Si Yisi replied, panting and tearful.
"ah?"
"Just kill the female lead, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Chi Chun said, "Hey, hey, hey, Asi, don't be impulsive, the main system will get angry—ah... never mind, just have fun."
He added in a low voice, "At least don't let the small world be completely destroyed."
Si Yisi listened to the whole thing... He had to admit that his friend Chi Chun understood him best.
If he were to commit robbery, Chi Chun would help him set it on fire—such a friend is truly the most ideal type.
"I know what I'm doing."
This communication was tacitly ended by both systems.
Shen Yingqing was dragged into the wall by the ghost, and he was stuck to the wall like a drowning person.
When he truly became one with the wall, the entire rental room hummed briefly!
Shen Yingqing could only peek out with his eyes, but he had already accepted the rules of this escape game—from then on, he was destined to become a common decoration in the rental room!
It's nothing but scary!
The ghosts dragged Chen Mengxi, a living person, in front of Si Yisi as if to show off their achievements. Several pieces of Chen Mengxi's scalp were ripped off, leaving her head covered in blood.
Large tears streamed down her face, but they could no longer conceal the sharp resentment and bitterness within her.
But Chen Mengxi was completely unaware. She pleaded and tried to awaken Si Yisi's other "personality".
"Chenchen...save my cousin! My cousin was forced into this by that man. If she doesn't do it, she'll die..."
Her tone was gentle and mournful. If it were the same Shen Chen from the beginning, he would have immediately believed his cousin.
Does she feel that there is another weak and easily deceived personality within her?
Si Yi thought for a moment, and his demeanor suddenly changed, becoming panicked and helpless.
"Cousin, I...you, how did you become like this?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Mengxi's eyes as she clutched the only dagger she could conjure in her hand inside her sleeve.
"I...I'll let you out right away, don't worry about your cousin!" Si Yisi said in a panic, tears streaming down her face.
It looked heartbreaking and frightening.
Chen Mengxi's dagger slid outwards—
A hand grabbed her hand, reversed the direction of the dagger, and stabbed it into Chen Mengxi's waist.
Si Yisi smiled and said, "Cousin, do you really think Shen Chen has two personalities?"
His expression remained one of fear and innocence, yet his tone was full of sarcasm.
Si Yisi pulled out the dagger and saw Chen Mengxi's dilated pupils—
Oh dear, she seems to be on the verge of a breakdown.
