Chapter 231 Things Start to Get Strange



When you randomly fill out your resume and get this job, belike is now a great example.

She hadn't even sat down in the real villa to properly experience it yet; outside, it felt like the end of the world, surrounded by monsters that looked extremely unpleasant.

They ran towards Gu Li, who was standing behind He Shiyi, with a clear goal in mind, as if they knew very well how to pick on the weak.

Looking at the countless sharp teeth around him, Gu Li almost desperately grabbed a shovel he had picked up from the garden and slammed it down on the mouth of the nearest alien creature with a "bang".

Unexpectedly, it produced a wonderful striking sound, and the thing howled in pain and flew backward.

Gu Li looked at his hands in surprise, and He Shiyi, who was baring his teeth and claws (specially made tentacles), looked over in surprise as well.

"I'm starting to believe we're in cahoots. I don't remember having that much strength!"

He Shiyi looked at the shovel in her hand, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, but seeing Gu Li's excited expression, he swallowed his words.

He muttered to himself, "Fine, if you insist."

The two worked together to kill all the monsters outside the villa, and soon those things all disappeared into the air.

He Shiyi frowned and walked towards Gu Li, gesturing to her with the wound on his forehead and arm.

"They are not physical entities, and they disappear within a minute after they die, but they can still cause us harm."

"Only the most special one has a physical form. It seems we won't be able to wait for it tonight. Let's go back."

He Shiyi blocked most of the attacks, but even so, Gu Li, who was only holding a shovel, was still exhausted.

"I just feel like this thing isn't quite right for me."

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, noticed the wound on He Shiyi's arm, quickly composed herself, grabbed his wrist, and ran towards the villa.

"Your wound needs bandaging, let's go."

A wound of this severity could have healed instantly, but He Shiyi only showed it to her, noticing her slightly anxious expression.

He suddenly stopped moving and obediently let himself be pulled back.

For the next month, the two lived in the villa, and every evening, the monsters would swarm in.

They were unusually well-behaved during the day.

After a month of this, Gu Li felt that the thing was meant to make her life less comfortable, so she would exercise every evening.

Kehe Shiyi seems to be getting worse and worse. These past few days, he has been staying in his room upstairs except in the evenings.

Gu Li looked up with concern, feeling that they couldn't just leave it like this.

When she came to her senses, she was already standing in front of He Shiyi's door with a simple dinner.

"Knock knock".

It took quite a while before a heavy thud was heard from inside the room, and after a while, the door was finally opened.

He Shiyi's pale face was hidden in the darkness: "Is there something you need?"

Gu Li handed him the tray, frowning as she looked at his face: "What's wrong with you lately? Are you feeling unwell, or did you get injured without telling me?"

Under her sharp gaze, He Shiyi took a step back, hiding himself even further into the darkness. Gu Li could only vaguely see his eyes reflecting a sliver of light from the corridor.

"No, I'm really fine."

He took a step back with a furrowed brow, but Gu Li heard a sound coming from deeper inside the room, like something scraping against the floor.

If you listen carefully, it seems that the entire room is filled with this sound.

She scrutinized him, then suddenly stepped forward when he wasn't looking, and snapped the light on, illuminating the room instantly.

The room, which had been faintly noisy just moments before, was now completely empty.

Gu Li walked in and picked up a cushion that had just fallen to the ground: "What's this?"

She unfolded the cushion, but her voice trailed off abruptly. The cushion had her own image printed on it!

Gu Li looked at He Shiyi, who was equally shocked, in astonishment.

"What are you so shocked about?! Wasn't this found in your room? Tsk tsk, I'm starting to suspect you have a crush on me."

He Shiyi seemed to realize something, took the cushion back, put it on the sofa, and coughed lightly: "Let me explain, it's not what you think."

“Didn’t we say we were dropped here? Then this world must have some traps set by enemies. I’m guessing that the game you played before was one of them, which is why I…”

He swallowed his last few words.

Gu Li looked at him thoughtfully: "So that's why you did it?"

Under the gaze of those sky-blue eyes, He Shiyi closed his eyes tightly, resigned to his fate, and twitched his slender fingers.

His eyes showed a rare hint of irritation.

The tentacles that appeared from all over the room each carried a chestnut-shaped pillow, crowding around He Shiyi's back, wanting to go forward but not daring to.

His pale face was flushed, and even the small mole at the corner of his mouth trembled slightly.

"That's it. Ever since you said that line in the later stages of the game, I've found it harder and harder to stop having that thought."

He turned his head awkwardly: "...I just want to be close to you whenever I have the chance."

Gu Li gasped.

She stared in shock at He Shiyi's usually aloof and almost inorganic face, a look of shame appearing on her face, her pupils involuntarily dilating.

His pale skin softened the sharpness of his handsome features, and all the colors on his body were extremely rich, the whites were whiter, and the blacks were blacker.

Instead, it brings a fragile and mysterious quality.

The thick tentacles that kept moving behind him and the flesh and blood surging deeper inside were things that made people alarm, alarm, and scream in madness.

Gu Li clenched her fist and slammed it down in her palm. How come she couldn't make the connection?

They were already attacking at point-blank range in the game!

As a result, she became obsessed with her newly opened career path, and the alien city had already expanded to Bellamy, who was far away across the ocean.

broken.

It turned out to be her fault.

Gu Li coughed guiltily, "Actually, it's nothing. After all, it was my fault. As long as we leave here, it should be fine."

"Before this, you don't need to deliberately avoid me."

·

The flowers and plants outside the garden villa were gradually destroyed by the monster, while inside the lavishly decorated villa, it was surrounded by another monster.

The railings, the ceiling, and the rarely used walls are all covered with pulsating flesh and slowly moving tentacles.

They swayed their pointed tips slightly, as if they were little dogs waiting for their owner to appear.

In his second month living here, Gu Li yawned as he got out of bed, opened the door, and greeted the tentacles guarding the door as usual.

Good morning, Xiao Yi. You're here so early again today?

She shuffled downstairs in her slippers, casually touching the tentacle beside her that wore a polka-dot bow: "Good morning, Xiao Bo. Is breakfast ready? Thank you."

"You're really capable."

He Shiyi, who was already sitting at the table downstairs, looked over and said, "Good morning."
