The night was quite uneventful, but Zhou Zhou slept soundly.
She didn't open her eyes until three o'clock in the morning.
The dazzling sunlight was shining down on the bedside by the window. The girl blinked and was stimulated to shed physiological tears.
"Well……"
System: [Good morning, porridge. 】
When he heard the sound of the system, maybe because he had just woken up and his mind was not clear, Zhou Zhou actually replied "Arrived" in a daze.
System wanted to laugh in his heart, but held it back.
[Ahem, porridge, it’s really time to wake up. If you don't get up, the ghosts will come to catch you. 】
This is not possible!
Zhou Zhou was startled and quickly got up, "...Where are the ghosts?"
"Where are the ghosts?"
She looked around but didn't see it.
The house was as dark and damp as ever, with only her bed next to the window letting in some sunlight.
"?"
A question mark appeared on Zhou Zhou's head.
"022," the girl said a little aggrievedly, "...are you lying to me...?"
【I did not lie to you. 】
The system chuckled, [But not now. 】
Zhou Zhou snorted and didn't believe it.
It was clearly just teasing her, where was the serious talk?
Zhou Zhou decided to ignore the system for now.
…
While she was having a bad temper, the player on the other side had already opened the door and was ready to go out.
After all, someone died, and this room was obviously not normal. Instead of staying any longer, they might as well go out and look for clues in this dungeon.
Ning Jidong looked at the players who were moving quickly and was a little surprised.
Who are these people?
He picked the lock easily and even saw a player accidentally crush the door handle.
"Did you see it?"
Ning Cheng's face didn't look good and he just said "hmm".
"I saw it, what's wrong, dad?" Ning Yan didn't think too much. He had always been big-hearted. Not only did he not find it strange, he was actually a little happy.
He thought that since someone picked the lock, they wouldn't have to stay here.
"How about we go out with them."
So stupid.
Ning Cheng glanced at him, "Don't you think this group of people came prepared?"
They don't look like ordinary people.
Ning Yan didn't take it seriously, Qing Jun smiled shyly, "Let's go out first, no matter who they are."
After all, Ning Jidong had a lot of experience, so he thought for a moment, "Follow me first, and then I'll find an opportunity to contact the outside world."
Ning Cheng remained silent.
Yesterday, after Ning Rong's death, he told her about her abuse of him and Ning Yan, and now he doesn't know how to get along with his father.
Ning Jidong was in a complicated mood at the time.
I feel a little guilty for not taking good care of them and leading the wolf into the house.
Sister and her two sons, naturally her own children are more important.
But because he knew the truth, his sadness over Ning Rong's death also dissipated.
Looking at his two sons who were now safe and sound, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In this way, Ning Jidong and others followed the players out of the door, following behind them cautiously.
The players glanced at them with disinterest and then looked away.
Just follow.
They arrogantly thought about what kind of trouble a group of NPCs could cause.
…
"... Are the poisonous food in the cave ready?"
After a busy night, Zhou Shan finally suppressed the Gu insect that was about to move and asked the villagers behind him.
Villager: "It's ready, but this batch of Gu insects is a bit fierce, and there are still a few people missing."
Zhou Shan is not surprised. Everyone in their Gu village raises Gu. This is not actually a cultural tradition, but because if they don't raise Gu, they will die.
The more ferocious the poison you raise, the longer it will live.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shan couldn't help but smile coldly, quite sarcastically.
"You pick a few from those tourists tonight."
The villager's face was pale, and a smile appeared on his strange sculpture-like face, "Okay."
However, after answering, seeing that Zhou Shan did not speak again, the villager's purple lips moved slightly, feeling confused.
"There's another one——"
A hoarse, rough, and unpleasant sound floated into his ears, making Zhou Shan's face suddenly turn cold.
"Village Chief, isn't your sister a Gu eye?"
Gu eyes are cultivated by countless voodoo insects and become the first living person to be bitten by the king of voodoos.
It must be an extremely special body that can absorb the grievances of the worms, so that the worms can be driven by the villagers.
Zhou Porridge happens to have such a constitution.
Zhou Shan used to raise her, but also because of this trait, he treated her as voodoo food and abandoned her one day.
But now he doesn't think so!
He gave the silent villager a cold look, his gaze filled with strange malice and a scarlet and sinister emotion.
It was so cold that there was no trace of warmth.
Anyone who sees these eyes will fall into hell.
The villager trembled, and a chill ran down his tailbone.
"village head……?"
The villagers' faces were stiff, their malicious and terrifying faces were pale, and the blood vessels in their necks were throbbing, as if an insect-shaped thing was swimming around -
Weird and creepy.
That's his gu.
The Gu worm wandered uneasily because of the owner's fear, causing a burst of pain. The villager vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, "Cough, cough..."
"I will look for the Gu eyes again." Zhou Shan watched the villagers vomiting blood indifferently, with an indifferent tone.
He said expressionlessly: "Don't touch her in the future."
But how can Gu Eye be so easy to find?
If you can't find it, it will delay the breeding of this batch of Gu insects...
The villagers held back the fishy taste in their throats and suppressed the fear of Zhou Shan in their hearts. A trace of resentment flashed across their dry and stiff faces.
"Why let her go? She's not from Gu Village—"
"Shut up."
Zhou Shan said with a sullen face, "Since you question me so much, how about you become the village chief?"
"...No, no! That's not what I meant!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers' faces were filled with fear as if they were molded by cement injection.
The village chief uses the most ferocious Gu and will die if he can't suppress it. How can he compare with Zhou Shan?
Moreover, the Gu worms in his body are not as powerful as Zhou Shan's.
Zhou Shan: "...then shut up."
The villagers had no choice but to nod in agreement, and retreated with several other villagers with extremely ugly expressions.
After they left, Zhou Shan tidied up and carefully cleaned the blood stains on his body.
After all, I will go back to see the girl after I finish my work, so I can't scare her with this look.
…
Lying on the bed, Zhou Zhou counted the time on his fingers.
Without a mobile phone, she didn't know what to do. It was almost noon and Zhou Shan hadn't come back yet.
Zhou Zhou asked about the system.
"Is he not coming back?"
If she doesn't come back, she plans to go out to find the players and have a reunion.
【Won't. 】The system ends with a slight pause.
【coming. 】
Who, who is coming?
Zhou Zhou didn't know why.
A familiar male voice rang out, "Porridge, brother is back."
It's Zhoushan.
He was carrying the food in his hands, and his clean and deep facial features showed his outstanding handsomeness.
What's even more eye-catching is that his dark arms are bulging.
With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he looks very strong at first glance.
But the man's expression was inexplicably gloomy at this time.
Because he just went to the players and found that everyone in the room was missing. This was undoubtedly a provocation to him.
It made him feel extremely unhappy.
However, Zhou Shan also found someone in that low-lying room that looked like a water dungeon and had touched his poison without knowing it.
Someone must have died.
He thought maliciously and indifferently, these bugs still want to escape, why not just stay in the bug house?
Do you have to wait until they die one by one and let him collect the bodies?
The malice in his heart was churning, and for a moment he had the desire to kill someone.
"Brother?" the girl said hesitantly.
The moment the man heard the girl's soft voice, his malice disappeared.
He smiled a little guiltily.
"Porridge, I'm sorry. My brother had something to do and couldn't come back this morning. He must be very hungry."
"This is the rice my brother brought from the town for Zouzhou. It's still hot. Come on, brother will feed you—"
After saying that, he sat by the bed and was about to support Zhou Zhou and feed her.
"Ah, open your mouth——"
When the girl didn't move, the man gently coaxed her.
"Good boy, Chow Chow, sit down closer to my brother."
[…I, can I come by myself? 】
Zhou Zhou asked the system in his mind.
She felt so ashamed.
Damn it, do you really want to be fed?
After thinking about it, she felt that she should also have basic self-care abilities...?
Even though he is stupid, he is not so squeamish that he cannot eat.
System: [Okay, this does not violate the personality. 】
Zhou Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Zhou Shan and whispered, "Brother Zhou Shan... I want to do it myself."
Zhou Shan was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, then be careful when eating the porridge, the rice is a bit hot."
Although he was a little reluctant to feel the pleasure of feeding a young girl, Qi Zhou was able to express his thoughts much better than before.
She used to be like a stiff piece of wood, without any thoughts of her own.
And he had never fed her or been so close to her.
The porridge that I now ask for is as if my soul has been injected into it.
It was so vivid and beautiful that he couldn't bear to look away.
Since yesterday, he couldn't help but want to possess that bright beauty.
Zhou Zhou sipped his rice.
The taste was really good. She ate it very deliciously, and the tip of her soft tongue was looming. The man looked at it, and his heart was filled with unspeakable hot desire.
The girl knew nothing.
She grabbed her rice and asked secretly in her mind, "Do you think I'm not cannon fodder? I died the next day..."
System: [Hmm. 】
【Who is that……】
【kill me? 】
The girl's voice trembled, the system was silent for a few seconds, and the violation was told to her, [Zhou Shan. 】
It couldn't be said originally.
Can……
The system looked at the girl holding a spoon in a beautiful and frail manner... She was obviously too serious to be serious, and her expression was focused and serious.
But the loose and thin dress clung to her delicate white body, and she was so nervous that her eyes were wet. Her thin white arms were trembling slightly, sticky sweat clung to her black hair, and her soft red lips were thin. Co-author of...
Such a pitiful look...
System: ...I feel soft.
Zhou Shan? !
Zhou Zhou was so frightened that he almost dropped his spoon. Fortunately, he knew that he couldn't reveal any flaws, so he held it firmly with his hand.
She quietly glanced at the murderer in front of her, a little in disbelief.
Sure enough, he is the dungeon boss, and all the love he seems to have is fake. The sister he raised will kill him as soon as he says to.
[Then...I, when will I die? 】
Zhou Zhou thought aggrievedly, could it be that after this meal, Zhou Shan was going to send her on her way?
So, is this... a deprivation meal?
As soon as this idea came to his mind, the food in Zhou Zhou's mouth suddenly lost its flavor.
Woo hoo, scared, scared.
System: [Don’t be afraid. 】
[He won’t kill you now. 】
022's voice was still calm, and Zhou Zhou couldn't help but believe it.
She didn't ask why, and felt relieved in her heart.
【……That's good……】
Zhou Zhou pinched the corner of his wrinkled clothes and thought: In this case...
There should still be time for her to follow other players to find clues.
Now, even if it's temporary safety, even if it's just an extra second or minute, as long as she doesn't die at this moment.
She was very afraid, afraid of this copy, afraid of the monsters in it, afraid that no one would remember her, and no one would pity her.
To be honest, if Zhou Zhou was given a choice now, she would definitely not try to escape from the beginning.
To die is to die.
No, isn't it, the next one will be reopened?
She's not afraid of whining.
How can you encounter so many things...
Now, I don’t dare to die, I’m so scared…
Hey, I might as well have made a decision earlier.
Zhou Zhou bit his fingers and thought: Why is she so spineless?
