MTL - Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game-Chapter 6 Entering the New World for the First Time (6)
After having master Gu's idea of eating people, Xia Zhiyi came up with another idea: "He can't be the king of ghosts!"
Jing Ruyu couldn't give a definite answer to Xia Zhiyi's guess.
Who can say whether the ghost king is a person?
It seems that everything is possible in the new world, and it seems that it has never been stipulated that the king of ghosts can only be a ghost.
Xia Zhiyi rubbed her arms, feeling chills down her spine: "If he is really the King of Ghosts, then shouldn't we eat the things he gives?"
"Not necessarily," Jing Ruyu analyzed carefully, "The new world does not allow us to bring things in from outside, and there is no deadlock, so there must be something in it that can help players replenish their energy.
"Master Gu wants us to grow fat, whether the purpose is to make us work or something else, we don't know yet. But we have already eaten what they gave us at noon, and it's fine until now, so it should be fine. "
Xia Zhiyi felt that what she said made sense, thought about it, and said, "But we still can't relax our vigilance, let's take a step at a time."
Jing Ruyu nodded.
"Go back to the yard first."
"it is good."
It was almost evening when they returned to the yard, and the players assigned to work also came back one after another.
The first to come back was the man in the suit who was the first to see the horrors of the new world, and his roommate, a thin girl.
There are weird places everywhere, the domineering task NPC doesn't care about the difference between men and women in room allocation, anyway, in her eyes, it ends up as a corpse.
At noon, everyone briefly introduced themselves, Xia Zhiyi remembered their names, the man was Gao Hui, the woman was Xiaoya, they all came to the new world just like her in a daze.
Xiaoya's state was very depressed, and Gao Hui's expression was not very good.
As soon as the two returned to the yard, they sat down on the steps, not caring about anything, their faces were solemn and ashamed.
Xia Zhiyi looked at them like this, trying to figure out what happened with her toes.
Gao Hui looked up at the two of them, and after a while, he said, "Did you see it when you were working?"
Xia Zhiyi nodded.
Seeing that everyone was the same, Gao Hui scratched his hair in despair and cursed: "What the **** kind of place is this? How could such a place exist in the world? Can we **** go out?!"
Jing Ruyu calmly said, "Yes."
Gao Hui looked up at her.
Jing Ruyu: "You can go out after clearing the customs."
Gao Hui: "..."
"Say nonsense!"
He stood up irritably and went back to his room cursing.
"He's so fierce." Jing Ruyu turned her head to Xia Zhiyi, but her expression didn't care much.
Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiyi wanted to laugh for no reason, and then remembered Xiaoya who was still in the yard.
Xiaoya is younger than them and is still in college. She has been taciturn since she entered the new world.
When Xia Zhiyi saw her for the first time, she felt that she was downcast, as if she had no love in her life.
Seeing her quietly sitting aside, Xia Zhiyi suddenly saw how pitiful she was, so he couldn't help but walk over, bent down, and put his hand on her shoulder lightly.
"Don't be afraid, if you can get out, there are always more ways than difficulties."
Xiaoya slowly raised her head.
Xia Zhiyi smiled at her: "There are messy things in this place, but don't we live well now? Doesn't that mean that we are lucky and have a good chance of escaping from here? So don't be afraid, Pull yourself together and believe in yourself."
Xiaoya's eyes wavered, she opened her mouth, then closed it again, clutching her pants tightly.
After a few seconds, she got up and said, "I don't care, just die—I'm going to die anyway."
After finishing speaking, he went back to the room and stayed.
Xia Zhiyi was confused by this attitude, not knowing why.
She scratched her face in confusion: "I didn't comfort the point? Why does she still look so unhappy?"
Jing Ruyu glanced at Xiaoya's room, then looked back at Xia Zhiyi, and said with relief, "No, you spoke very well, and I feel comforted."
Xia Zhiyi smiled: "Thank you Mr. Jing for your support."
Jing Ruyu smiled back, and the atmosphere was rarely relaxed.
…
At dinner time, Xiaoqiao led someone to deliver the dinner on time, and thoughtfully ordered someone to bring it to their room.
Xia Zhiyi went back to the room and took a look. According to Master Gu's orders, the dinner was indeed more sumptuous, and it was almost a full table full of Chinese.
Xiaoqiao stood at the gate of the courtyard and said: "Several distinguished guests have worked hard today, my master specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone, please enjoy it to your heart's content.
"In addition, all the candles in the mansion will be extinguished in half an hour. Please finish your dinner before then, and rest well after that to recharge your energy for tomorrow, and don't run around."
"Why did you extinguish the candle?" Gao Hui asked.
"There is no reason, we never light the lights in the house at night, everyone has to do so." Xiao Qiao replied indifferently.
When Gao Hui thought that this gloomy place was not lit at night, he felt even more overwhelmed.
"Just say that the wedding doesn't need to be so grand," Xia Zhiyi said suddenly, "Look, have you run out of money? Are you so poor that you can't even light a candle?
"Coincidentally, I'm starting to worry that your wages will not be paid out."
Xiaoqiao: "..."
It's not necessary to help them think so much.
Jing Ruyu stood beside Xia Zhiyi, chuckling lightly.
In such a world, her ex-girlfriend is still interesting, at least it can adjust the atmosphere.
Xiao Qiao ignored Xia Zhiyi's words, turned around and took a fruit plate from the servant behind her, and brought it to Xia Zhiyi herself.
"This is my lady's wish."
Xiaoqiao smiled slightly.
"You eat alone."
All eyes in the courtyard were fixed on Xia Zhiyi in an instant.
Xia Zhiyi felt cheated, and also smiled slightly: "What kind of good food can only be eaten by me alone? I don't know your lady well."
Xiaoqiao said: "Miss knows that you are smart and smart, and I heard that you worked very hard today, so she specially ordered me to give you a fruit plate to reward you."
She sent the fruit to Xia Zhiyi with an attitude that could not be refused: "Eat it, I will watch you eat it, and I can go back to work after you finish eating."
The silent coercion surged into waves, approaching Xia Zhiyi menacingly.
The originally delicious fruit plate fell into Xia Zhiyi's eyes, as if emitting a dark air, it didn't look like anything good.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely solemn, and there was an indescribable danger hidden in every strand of air.
Xia Zhiyi's eyes stopped on Xiaoqiao's face: "Is it really the only one I can eat?"
Xiao Qiao: "Yes."
Xia Zhiyi: "Why can't you distribute it to others?"
Xiaoqiao smiled: "Of course it's because my lady likes you."
Xia Zhiyi frowned suddenly, showing hesitation: "Your lady likes me...does your uncle know?"
Xiaoqiao: "?"
Xia Zhiyi covered her lips embarrassingly, and said shyly: "She's about to get married, isn't that bad, and I'm not ready for a new relationship yet... I'm sorry, I can only reject her wishes.
"Oh, I don't want to either, who made this love come at a bad time?
"Go back, just say that I wish her happiness and a happy marriage for a hundred years, don't read it."
Everyone: "..."
May I ask if she has always been so narcissistic, can she be so ridiculous?
Veins popped up in Xiaoqiao's hands: "If I tell you to eat, you can eat it!"
Xia Zhi said sternly: "If you don't eat, forced love will not have good results!"
Xiaoqiao: "..."
hard. The fist hardened.
I have never seen such a nonsense person since I have been in this business for so long!
As soon as she opened her mouth, a piece of cold peach was suddenly stuffed in.
Xia Zhiyi patted her on the back, and brazenly comforted her: "Why did I tell you that I was angry? Come, eat some fruit to calm down.
"Is it delicious? Is it sweet? Can you feel the hot love from Miss?"
Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, regained her senses, chewed it a few times, and swallowed the fruit in front of everyone—nothing happened.
She was too lazy to talk nonsense with Xia Zhiyi, so she handed the fruit in front of her again, and said concisely: "Eat."
Xia Zhi thought she was fine, knowing that there was no way for him to escape this, so he compromised.
"Okay, I'll eat."
Xiaoqiao stared at her as she finished eating the fruit before taking her away.
There were only a few players left in the yard, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and took another look at Xia Zhiyi, wondering why she was given special treatment.
No one spoke, everyone went back to their respective homes, and seized the time to eat.
Xia Zhiyi closed the door, and after eating a plate of fruit, she suddenly lost her appetite when she looked at the food on the table.
She complained and walked back to the table, and sat down opposite Jing Ruyu: "I don't know who eats so much fruit before meals..."
As soon as she looked up, she found that Jing Ruyu was staring at her intently.
"Look at what?"
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about that plate of fruit, but I don't have a clue, after all, I can't see anything now."
"Well... Xiaoqiao is fine after eating, so I should be fine if I eat it. Let's eat quickly, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to wait for them to turn off the lights."
"it is good."
Today's night seems to have fallen in a particularly hasty manner.
Silence filled the surroundings, and a cold moon hung in the sky, so cold that the temperature at night dropped accordingly, and there was a gloomy and frightening atmosphere everywhere in the small courtyard.
The doors and windows were closed, Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu were lying on their respective beds, getting sleepy.
They still don't know the danger at night, Xiao Qiao told them not to run around, they can't do anything now except sleep and wait for the day to come.
It was the first time to come to this place, Xia Zhiyi was not sleepy because of a trace of uneasiness in her heart, but looking at Jing Ruyu's direction, she felt inexplicably at ease and gradually relaxed.
When they lived together in the past, she would sleep well next to Jing Ruyu, as if surrounded by the security of the whole world, fearless.
Thinking back to the beginning, it was probably due to psychological effects that her eyelids began to become heavy, and finally closed slowly.
No matter what, at least she still has a very familiar person by her side...
Everything is silent and the moon is pale.
In the middle of the night, Xia Zhiyi woke up in a daze, and vaguely heard a movement outside the door—someone was knocking on the door.
"Zhiyi, open the door."
Jing Ruyu's voice sounded outside the door.
"I forgot my key."
Xia Zhiyi looked at Jing Ruyu's bed by the faint moonlight, and found that there was indeed no one on the bed, so she rubbed her eyes and got out of bed to open the door.
When they lived together before changing the lock, Jing Ruyu occasionally forgot to bring the key, and she would open the door for her in the same way.
This feeling is all too familiar...
Raising her hand towards the wooden door, when her fingertips touched the cool door bolt, she suddenly froze for a moment.
It feels like... something is wrong?
At this moment, a hand stretched out from behind her, gently grasping her wrist and withdrawing it, the movement was full of vigilance.
Afterwards, Jing Ruyu's voice fell into her ears: "Zhiyi, I am here."
Xia Zhiyi instantly woke up as if she had just woken up from a dream, and her whole body was as relaxed as if she had broken free from the restraints.
When she regained consciousness, she saw a thin black shadow on the door.
The black shadow shouted outside the door, asking her to open the door.
At this moment, she finally remembered what was wrong - the door was not locked, how could it need a key!
"Zhiyi, wake up, and open the door for me."
The "person" outside the door was still shouting.
"I don't know what will be outside. I'm afraid there will be danger. Open the door quickly."
Xia Zhiyi was about to ask Jing Ruyu what to do, when she saw the paper on the window lattice on the door suddenly punctured, and a finger jumped into their eyes.
This finger is slender and long, and the nails are very sharp, as if it can cut a person's skin with a light swipe.
In the blink of an eye, Jing Ruyu quickly pushed her down.
The two crouched under the door, held their breath, and raised their heads in tacit understanding to look up.
There was a small hole in the door.
The night wind blew past, and the room was empty, only the dead silence kept squeezing into the house through the small hole.
Looking from the inside to the outside, you can still see the pale moonlight all over the courtyard.
In the next second, a malicious eye suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave!
