Chapter 230: Entering the Illusion
The little tabby boy was holding the leopard cat and drinking a matcha milkshake obediently.
He is wearing a yellow sweatshirt with a greedy cat painted on the chest. His black work pants make his legs look long and slender. He is holding the cat in one hand and drinking milk tea in the other, which looks very cute.
Just sitting outside, it attracted a group of little girls.
The tabby was stiff.
"Little brother, do you have a girlfriend?" Little Girl A squeezed into the milk tea shop, looking excited, and her eyes seemed to want to eat up the tabby cat boy.
The little tabby weakly grasped the cat in his hand and moved to the side, "Yes..."
"What? Do you mind taking in another lover? My family owns a chain supermarket in H City, and we have more crystal cores than we can spend. If you become my lover, I will give you endless crystal cores, and you can have whatever you want to eat and drink!" Little Girl A began to use a conciliatory strategy.
"Do you have any dried fish that you can't finish eating?"
"Yes! I'll find you whatever you want to eat. Come home with your sister!" Little girl A rubbed her hands together, ready to grab the other person's arm.
The little leopard cat whimpered, raised its two little paws, and bared its teeth. The little fangs in its mouth were very sharp. It made a threatening gesture and slightly arched its body.
The little girl was startled, but quickly regained her composure. "Brother, your cat is as cute and handsome as you!"
She took out a piece of beef jerky from her pocket and wanted to feed it to the little leopard cat, but the jerky was ruthlessly kicked away by the cat.
"I, I, I... You are so old, but you still think about having sex with young girls. This little brother is clean and innocent, and you can tell at a glance that he is from a good family. How can I get involved with you? Come on, follow me, I will treat you to KFC Duck!" Little girl B had a smile on her face, but she had many wrinkles on her forehead. She looked like she was forty although she was in her twenties.
The little tabby didn't expect that he would be so popular.
Luo Yunjin didn't expect that so many people would like Little Tiger Stripe's style. All the women in H City must have come out!
In fact, there were also some people who were secretly watching Lin Xi, but because he was holding Luo Yunjin's hand, they were directly excluded.
Most people in H City know Luo Yunjin.
The little tabby is obviously a handsome young man, and he came out with the two of them, so he must be a relative.
She is good-looking, has a good family background, and is well-behaved. Which old lady wouldn’t like her?
The little tabby boy was frightened by the enthusiasm of the crowd. He was a little worried about the aunt who had said that she could give him endless dried fish. Now he didn't dare to speak. He hid quietly behind Luo Yunjin, grabbing the corner of Lin Xi's clothes with his big hands.
The whole boy looks silly and cute.
The group of little girls were overjoyed.
"Well, if you're not buying anything, don't block the way at my door." Gu Xixi simply closed the door and locked the windows. Even so, there were still people gathering in front of the glass window, like ghosts.
"I...I didn't mean it." The little tabby was at a loss.
"I know. Sometimes being too popular isn't a good thing. Put on your hat and ignore those people when you go out. You should be a cool cat, okay? How can you sacrifice yourself for a little dried fish?" Luo Yunjin said earnestly.
The little tabby cat and the little leopard cat huddled aside like quails, obviously frightened by the previous scene.
"Hahaha, you'll get used to it. My Ahhen is the same. When we open the store in the evening, there are always a lot of women when he comes to look after the store, so the turnover is higher." Gu Xixi handed the little tiger spotted a small cup of yogurt.
The tabby cat took it with red ears.
"That's good. He is your younger brother, and he is well protected." Gu Xixi looked at the tabby boy with some emotion.
"I also think that he needs to go out and exercise. If he is not smart enough, he will be easily cheated when he goes out in the future." Luo Yunjin saw that the little tiger-spotted boy still had one hand holding the corner of Lin Xi's clothes, and ruthlessly pried his fingers apart one by one.
"Thank you for the milk tea today. I'll go back after I pack up. Is there another door here? It might not be a good idea for us to go out directly through the front door."
"Yes, follow me." Gu Xixi led people to the back door.
The back door leads to the road deep in the forest. There are few people around and there are many dilapidated houses that have not been repaired in time.
The doors and windows of many houses were badly damaged and no one had cleaned or repaired them. The rain made a crackling sound when it fell on them. The hollow doors and the dark interior environment looked a bit scary at first glance.
Lin Xi held up the umbrella, took the girl's hand, took off his black coat and put it on her.
The man is 1.9 meters tall and the coat is very big, so she can wear it as a skirt.
The tabby boy followed behind, holding the ocelot.
After Gu Xixi closed the back door, the lights went out and the only sound around was the sound of rain. The gloomy environment was filled with a terrifying atmosphere.
Bang!
Suddenly, a piece of broken glass fell from a tall building and landed at the feet of several people.
Then there was another crackling sound and fragments.
Snap…
A highly decayed zombie fell from the sky to the ground. The crystal core in its brain had been taken away. The whole zombie looked like dried bacon, with hideous facial features and shriveled skin.
Afterwards, another zombie in the same condition was thrown down from a tall building.
Two zombies fell to the ground, and raindrops dripped onto the dry meat. Perhaps it was an illusion, but Luo Yunjin saw the chest of one of the zombies suddenly vibrate.
"Wait, there's something wrong with this house!" Luo Yunjin grabbed Lin Xi and stopped him from going any further.
But Lin Xi was still walking briskly. Luo Yunjin then realized that the man next to her had no body temperature. She raised her head slightly and saw Lin Xi's wooden face and lifeless gray pupils.
The two cats that had been following behind also disappeared.
Luo Yunjin quickly grabbed the umbrella and moved away from the fake Lin Xi.
She quickly scattered a few orange seeds, giving rise to mutant orange trees.
"Uh uh uh uh uh..." In front of Luo Yunjin, the fake Lin Xi grabbed his upper and lower jaws with both hands and twisted them hard until the flesh and bones were separated.
Luo Yunjin covered his mouth and stepped back.
The fake Lin Xi was like a caterpillar, lying on the ground, swimming towards her, making a clucking sound from its mouth.
The surrounding tall buildings seemed to grow taller, almost completely trapping her in a narrow gap.
Luo Yunjin stared at the strange creature on the ground, broke off a stick from the nearby orange tree, and hit it hard.
The fake Lin Xi had his head smashed by her.
"Xiao Jin!"
"Xiao Jin, I'm here!"
Luo Yunjin heard Lin Xi's cry. It was clearly very close, yet it seemed like it was very far away.
She could only follow the sound, and the mutant orange tree followed her all the way.
The place where the sound was closest was one of the tall buildings.
Luo Yunjin climbed up the orange tree and let it carry her in.
She grew a rejuvenation fruit and used the red halo around the fruit to see the way.
In the dark room, there was a strong smell of decay and pungent dust.
There were a lot of useless debris scattered on the ground.
When I opened the bathroom door, the sound came from the full-length mirror above the toilet.
Luo Yunjin held the rejuvenation fruit in his hand to illuminate the lens and saw spider-web-like cracks on the lens, as well as faint circles of water ripples.
She poked it with a branch and found that the branch could go straight through the lens.
After taking it out, it was unharmed.
As Lin Xi's voice in the mirror got closer and closer, Luo Yunjin also shouted for help towards the mirror, "I'm here!"
She heard hurried footsteps, followed by Lin Xi's voice.
"Xiao Jin?"
"I'm here!"
"Are you in the toilet?" Lin Xi on the other side shouted towards the toilet which had already dried up.
Luo Yunjin had a strange expression on her face, "Toilet? I'm talking to you through the mirror." As she said that, she threw a branch completely into the mirror.
Lin Xi watched helplessly as a thin branch emerged from the toilet bowl.
"A branch came out of the toilet." The voice of the little tabby came.
After confirming that they were all on the opposite side, Luo Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go directly through the mirror to meet them.
But just as she was about to approach the mirror, the mutant orange tree grabbed her with its branches, preventing her from entering.
When Luo Yunjin turned around, he saw a mutated zombie behind the orange tree, hugging the trunk and biting it hard. The zombie had red eyes and directly bit the tree into two halves.
It pounced towards Luo Yunjin like a madman.
On the other side, Lin Xi also heard the roar of the zombies opposite and quickly reached towards the toilet.
The strange thing was that the toilet was so narrow, the pipes should have been winding and rugged, but he passed through it smoothly.
Luo Yunjin saw Lin Xi's hand and grabbed it quickly.
Then he used all his strength to crash into the mirror.
Luo Yunjin was successfully pulled out of the toilet by Lin Xi.
The zombie behind also stretched out its rotten hands and tried to crawl out of the toilet.
The little tabby beside him quickly picked up a brick and smashed it on the zombie's hand.
Lin Xi tentatively pressed the flush button of the toilet.
Black water rushed into the toilet.
Soon the zombie hand was washed away.
"Where is this place? What happened? Are you the real Lin Xi?" Luo Yunjin held Lin Xi's hand tightly. If it weren't for the mutant orange tree that was suddenly born and supported her, she might have been grabbed by the feet and pulled back by the zombies.
But the mutant orange tree was left alone on the opposite side.
"We have entered the illusion created by the zombie network. I am real. Don't be afraid, we are all here." Lin Xi pulled the tabby boy over.
"Then how do I get out?" Luo Yunjin found that this bathroom was exactly the same as the one she had just entered, except that there was no mirror above the toilet.
So why did she go in through the mirror and come out through the toilet?
Thinking of the black water in the toilet that had just been flushed, Luo Yunjin felt uncomfortable all over.
"Still looking. Let's go out first. There are zombies in this building." Lin Xi supported the girl.
The little tabby held a flashlight for illumination.
Be careful to avoid the glass fragments on the ground, and always pay attention to the movements around you, as a zombie might suddenly jump out from the corner.
"Did you just meet a fake me? I was holding the fake Lin Xi, and I saw it break its jaw, and then I smashed it with a stick." Luo Yunjin pinched Lin Xi's wrist to make sure his body temperature was normal.
"Yes, the kitten spotted the fake Yun Jinjin right away and kicked it to death," the tabby chirped. "It was bloody. They kicked it right through the stomach."
Luo Yunjin subconsciously glanced at the man's shoes.
"Are you that fierce?"
"The fake tried to become real. I was merciful enough not to cut it into pieces." Lin Xi picked up the girl in her princess arms to prevent her from stepping on the glass fragments and hurting her feet.
"Does the fake me look good?"
"It's extremely ugly and stinks." Lin Xi said as he sniffed Luo Yunjin's hair.
"Does she imitate me?"
"If you were like that, do you think I would see through you and kick you to death?"
Luo Yunjin smiled awkwardly. She walked for a long time before she realized it was fake.
"It's all your fault that you're too tall. I have to look up to see your face. That fake Lin Xi had a dull expression, and it took me a while to notice it. I even held his hand for so long, I must be dirty." Luo Yunjin rubbed against the man's arms pretentiously.
Lin Xi rubbed the girl's hair and said, "It's okay, go back and wash it."
They quickly walked out of the building.
The surrounding houses were all tilted at forty-five degrees and it was raining too.
Shriveled zombies kept falling from the tall buildings, and there were already quite a few zombies lying on the ground.
They walked towards the path between the tall buildings. Outside was a large dark forest, and all the vegetation was black.
The trees swayed in the wind and rain, making a humming sound.
A few skinny zombies fell from the tree. When they saw people, they hurriedly ran into the forest.
"If all this is an illusion, should we still go in? If a zombie can create an illusion, the only way to get out is to find that zombie and hunt it down, right?" The pitch-black forest looked eerie, with dark green smoke surrounding it.
"There is a way out, and that's this forest. The most dangerous place is actually the safest." Lin Xi hugged the girl and walked straight into the forest.
The little tabby held up a flashlight, shining the light into the dark green smoke, and could see a lot of dust floating in it.
The air in this black forest is thin and dusty.
Luo Yunjin pulled up his coat, covered his nose, and filtered out the dust in the air.
From time to time, strange noises could be heard in the woods. They were not the sounds of zombies, but the sounds of some large animals eating and smacking their lips.
Pah-pah-pah~
Pass by two tree stumps.
They saw a big black furry ball in front of a huge tree, gnawing on a zombie.
There is a big yellow eye on the top of the fur ball's head, and its bloody mouth keeps chewing zombies and spitting out bones.
When it saw humans, it was stunned for a moment, then chirped in fear and hid behind a tree trunk, leaving only half of its big eyes exposed.
There were a lot of zombie bones on the ground around, obviously eaten by this furry ball.
Luo Yunjin took out a third-level crystal core from his coat pocket and threw it over.
The fur ball carefully rolled the food with its long tongue, then curved its eyes and chewed slowly while looking at the three people and the cat vigilantly.
"This should be the core of the zombie that created the illusion. It only eats zombie crystal cores, and the illusion here is mainly maintained by it." Lin Xi explained.
Luo Yunjin nodded, not quite understanding.
She just heard Lin Xi's system explanation, but unfortunately she didn't understand it.
{A Dream Eater has been discovered. This is a phantom beast in the brain of a mutated psychic zombie, used to create illusions. Gaining its trust allows you to escape the illusion. Successfully escaping the illusion will reward you with 1 Level-Up Fruit.}
Maoqiu was only interested in the leopard cat in the little tabby's arms. It avoided Luo Yunjin and Lin Xi, rolled from the side to the little tabby, blinked its big yellow eyes, and looked at the little leopard cat curiously.
The leopard cat meowed, showing its sharp claws, and scratched the fur ball twice, looking very fierce.
