Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

Shen Dongqing: "Huh?"

He tilted his head and looked at Zhou Wenyan, a little unclear about the current state.

Zhou Wenyan didn't speak, but his arms tightened violently, trapping the person firmly in the crook of his arms.

Shen Dongqing twisted a bit uncomfortably, and complained: "It's too tight..."

Zhou Wenyan's movements paused, and then slowly let go. His eyes seemed to suppress all kinds of violent emotions, but they were still suppressed by him one by one, turning into a calm sea, but there were rough waves hidden under the calm.

"I can't help it," he stated.

Shen Dongqing: "You just said that you are paranoid about things or people, is it me?"

Zhou Wenyan stared at him: "Yes, if you leave my sight, I don't know what you will do."

Shen Dongqing: "Then don't leave." He grabbed Zhou Wenyan's hand and pressed it to his face, "Aren't we always together?"

After a long time, Zhou Wenyan gave a low "um", feeling a little depressed.

Shen Dongqing pulled Zhou Wenyan to look left and right, but still felt that something was wrong, he thought about it, Zhou Wenyan was usually the one who coaxed him, now it was his turn to coax others.So he leaned forward and took a sip, stamping Zhou Wenyan's face.

"Okay." Shen Dongqing said with a smile, "Be good, this is a reward."

[Under the consolation of his partner, Zhou Wenyan's sanity recovered by 1 point]

After Shen Dongqing heard this reminder, she wondered if it would be possible to restore all her sanity with another seven or eight strokes?

Zhou Wenyan pushed an inch: "More."

With the mentality of giving it a try, Shen Dongqing stamped on it again.

This time he waited for a while, but didn't wait for the prompt of the game.

Shen Dongqing was disappointed: "It can only be used once."

Zhou Wenyan didn't care if he could return to his senses, and kissed him twice again seriously.

It seems that after entering the state of dementia, even the behavior is a little out of control. Zhou Wenyan clearly expressed what he wanted. If it wasn't for the wrong place, it might be more than just kissing.

In this regard, the detective squatting in the corner: I am a mushroom, I am a mushroom, I am not a human...

At this point, the game couldn't bear it any longer, and began to broadcast: [Detective check succeeded]

[The abyss is dark, you look down and find a bright light on the cliff, the light flickered a few times, you know this is a signal for survival in the wild - save me - there is someone calling for help]

The detective blurted out: "There are people there!"

The detection check was successful, and the fog below dissipated a bit, and a lamp could be seen hanging on the edge of the cliff, and behind it was a raised platform, on which a figure lay weakly.

A name flashed in the detective's mind: "Su Xiaoying!"

Besides Su Xiaoying, who has been missing for 18 years, who else would be here?

The detective wanted to go down and get the person up, but the platform was a little far away from where he was standing, and he might not be able to rescue the person by himself.

He looked at Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan.

Shen Dongqing still couldn't deal with Zhou Wenyan, who was in an abnormal state. After putting on the paranoid debuff, he had to cling to Shen Dongqing all the time, and couldn't stand being apart for just a few seconds.

Shen Dongqing had no choice but to let him hold hands.

The detective first raised his hand and said "I'm sorry", and then pointed down: "There is a person below."

Shen Dongqing looked down.

The detective explained: "It should be Su Xiaoying."

Shen Dongqing: "Still alive after so long? The shelf life is long enough."

Although this adjective is not correct, the detective still answered his question: "I passed an anthropology, but because I didn't have this skill, I failed. Why don't you pass one."

Shen Dongqing: "No need, this is not a ghost."

The detective breathed a sigh of relief: "Then quickly rescue him."

As long as you find Su Xiaoying and bring her back, this copy of the game is over.

Shen Dongqing asked seriously: "Can you fly?"

The detective hesitated for a moment: "Uh... no."

Shen Dongqing: "Then how to save people?"

In this case, it is impossible to fall on the platform to save people.

The detective brought his hands to his mouth, forming a horn, and shouted at the figure below: "Hey—do you still have the strength?"

The man weakly touched the only light source, indicating that he still had some strength.

It's easier for people to be conscious.

The detective searched around in the cave and found a coil of strong hemp rope hanging down, allowing the people below to trap themselves with the hemp rope, and then they pulled it up.

Detective: "If it's all right, you pull the hemp rope three times, and we'll pull you up."

I don't know if the people below understood it. The detective waited for a long time before he felt the hemp rope in his hand being gently pulled three times.

"It's coming!" The detective grabbed the hemp rope and pulled it up hard.

The detective's strength alone was too weak, and his face turned red when he pulled it up a little bit, and fell down again if he was careless.He turned his head to ask for help, only to see the two people holding hands and talking with their heads bowed, and they smiled at each other when they were happy.

detective:……

Hey, isn't it good to talk about love in this environment...

Fortunately, the two finally realized their conscience and helped to pull the people below up.

The one who was pulled up was indeed a woman, with her black hair hanging down, covering most of her face.She lay powerlessly on the ground, if not for her weak breathing, she might have thought it was a corpse.

The detective probed: "Su Xiaoying?"

The person responded: "Yes, it's me."

Detective: "Why are you down here?"

Su Xiaoying replied silently.

Only then did the detective realize that this person had been here for 18 years, and he was not Xiaolongnv, so of course he was extremely weak.He quickly supported Su Xiaoying to sit up, fed her some water and ate something.

Su Xiaoying regained some of her physical strength, and intermittently talked about what happened 18 years ago.

Eighteen years ago, she and her friends passed by the ancient town and thought it had a good view, so they planned to stay for a few more days, but she never thought that it was this decision that made her regret it.

During these days in the ancient town, she made acquaintance with a friend, and the two had a very happy chat. After knowing that they were born on the same day and the same year, they even became sworn sisters.

"But, I didn't expect..." Su Xiaoying's voice was hoarse, "I was deceived, she approached me just to treat me as a sacrifice to the gods!"

According to the customs of the ancient town, they believe in the mountain god and think that the mountain god can make them have good weather and safety.

Every 18 years, the aborigines will present the best food and the most beautiful girl to the mountain god. That time, the mountain god chose Zhou Aying.

According to the custom, Zhou Aying would be sent to the cave as the bride of the mountain god, and then the aborigines would block the cave and let her slowly starve to death inside.

No one wants to die.

Zhou Aying didn't want to slowly wither like a flower, at this moment, Su Xiaoying came into her sight.

After knowing that the two were born in the same year, the same month and the same day, Zhou Aying came up with the idea of ​​letting Su Xiaoying die instead of her.

Finally the idea was implemented.

Su Xiaoying panted heavily, and said unwillingly: "She actually lied to me and made me suffer in this kind of place! I want to go out, I want to get out of here!"

Seeing that Su Xiaoying's mental state was not good, the detective quickly said: "I was entrusted by your family to find you, don't worry, I will definitely take you out."

Under the comfort of the detective, Su Xiaoying gradually calmed down.

"You have to take me out of this damn place," she said.

Shen Dongqing was thoughtful: "But how did you live here for 18 years?"

The detective gave Shen Dongqing a look, and mouthed: "It's just a game setting, don't worry about it—"

Su Xiaoying raised her eyes to look at Shen Dongqing, then lowered her eyes again: "Mountain god, sometimes the mountain god will throw me some food, and I have lived on these foods until now."

The detective's response: "Psych."

[Verification succeeded]

【You noticed that Su Xiaoying's eyes flickered when she was talking, and she didn't dare to look directly at you, she was lying】

Su Xiaoying is lying.

So……

The detective thought of the old lady who disappeared in the thin coffin. It was drawn into this cave by the tentacles, and it might be hanging below to dry now.

The only thing Su Xiaoying lied about was "food", and those were not "food", but... dead bodies.

She's not a little dragon girl, and she doesn't have honey, so she can only live up to now by eating the remains of the corpse with her tentacles.

The detective felt sick to his stomach and almost threw up.

Su Xiaoying didn't notice it at all, or she did not dare to say it.

"Let's get out of here quickly, if the things below wake up, we won't be able to escape." Su Xiaoying urged.

She was a little anxious.

However, if you judge others by yourself, if you are trapped in this kind of place for 18 years, you may wish to fly out with a pair of wings on your shoulders.

The detective was a little hesitant about the "food" that Su Xiaoying had eaten, but in order to complete the task, he endured the humiliation and squatted down, signaling Su Xiaoying to climb up, and then walked out with his back on his back.

After seeing the sun again, Su Xiaoying's face appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Maybe it was really a game setting, even if she was trapped in that ghostly place for 18 years, she could still see that she was a little beauty with delicate features.

Once outside, Su Xiaoying climbed off the detective's back and stepped on the ground.

She noticed the detective's gaze, brushed her hair, and smiled shyly: "I really want to thank you all, how did you know about this cave?"

Detective: "Yes..."

He was about to answer when he suddenly heard the game say: [Su Xiaoying used charm on you]

Wait... charm?

Ding--

The dice fell.

[Successful Charm]

The detective suddenly felt in a trance, he forgot the dislike for Su Xiaoying just now, and also forgot that this was an aunt who was older than him.

He is willing to tell her anything, just for her to smile.

"We were at a funeral," the detective said. "It was his grandma who died, but the body was stolen by the tentacle monster, so we came here."

Su Xiaoying looked at the two conjoined twins in front of her: "So it's like this... What's the relationship between them?"

Detective: "Boyfriend."

Su Xiaoying:?

It may be an antique that has been underground for 18 years. She doesn't quite understand the meaning of this word.

"Two men?" She was slightly shocked.

The detective said affectionately to Su Xiaoying: "Love transcends gender and age, just like me and you."

Su Xiaoying looked at the detective's face getting closer and closer, and said coldly: "It's not necessary."

The charm effect ends.

The detective was confused for a moment, not knowing what he was doing, seeing the two people in front of him out of sight, he hurriedly led Su Xiaoying to catch up.

Leaving the overgrown wasteland, the road ahead is a little easier.

Su Xiaoying's physical strength has fully recovered, and she walked to Zhou Wenyan's side. On the way, she braided her black hair into a braid, showing a beautiful side face.

"you……"

[Su Xiaoying used the charm skill]

【Great achievement of charm...】

Zhou Wenyan didn't even look at Su Xiaoying, he pulled Shen Dongqing and walked forward.

The game regretfully announces: [Player Zhou Wenyan is in a state of confusion, the charm is invalid]

Su Xiaoying is not a player, and did not hear the announcement of the game, but she could sense that her charm had failed.She looked at the backs of the two and shifted her target.

Su Xiaoying came to Shen Dongqing's side, and asked with a smile, "Are you an aborigine here too? I don't think I've seen you before."

【Su Xiaoying used...】

This time, before even finishing the game broadcast, Su Xiaoying was choked by someone.

Zhou Wenyan's eyes were gloomy and cold, he didn't say a word, he just lifted Su Xiaoying up from the ground with force, and dropped it away from Shen Dongqing.

Those who dare to spy on him, damn it!

Su Xiaoying's feet left the ground, and her face turned red under the lack of oxygen, like a flopping fish.

The detective chasing after him was unknown, so when he saw this scene, he could only anxiously say: "This is an important NPC! Please spare my life!"

Zhou Wenyan was unmoved.

Shen Dongqing shook his arm: "Forget it, she just stayed underground for too long, and her brain is not working well."

After all, it's an important NPC, so it's not easy to die all at once.

But Zhou Wenyan usually seems to be quiet, but he is even faster than him in his hands. After all, he just likes to beat up NPCs twice, and he never takes the initiative to tear up ghosts.

Su Xiaoying, whose brain is not working well, nodded quickly: "Uh-uh--"

Only then did Zhou Wenyan let go of his hand.

Su Xiaoying clutched her neck and fell limply to the ground, coughing desperately.

Zhou Wenyan warned coldly: "Next time it won't be so simple."

With tears in her eyes, Su Xiaoying said aggrievedly, "I just want to ask a question..."

It's a pity that these two people don't know the word "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade" at all, and they don't have a soft heart.

Su Xiaoying had no choice but to wipe away her tears, and stood up with the help of the detective.

Detective: "What did you do?"

Su Xiaoying wanted to get the support of a detective, so she started pretending to be a little white flower: "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to ask a question, but that person went crazy and pinched me, my neck still hurts."

After hearing the ins and outs of the beautified version, the detective said silently: "Yes."

Su Xiaoying:?

Detective: "Oh no, I mean, it deserves it."

Players like Zhou Wenyan can clearly see Zhou Wenyan's possessiveness. What do you do with an NPC?Isn't it good to be a tool person honestly?

Deserve it.

Su Xiaoying didn't quite understand the logic of this group of people, so she could only temporarily suppress her little thoughts.

The group returned the same way and came to the place where the photographer had fainted before.

The doctor volunteered before and applied to stay and take care of the photographer, but now the place is empty, without even a single person.

Detective: "Did you go back first?"

They spent a lot of time in the cave, maybe they went back first because they couldn't wait for anyone.

So the group took Su Xiaoying back first.

Sure enough, the doctor was found in the hotel.

The doctor's state was a little bit wrong, as if she had been frightened. She saw other players coming back, and rushed forward with a look of fear.

Zhou Wenyan moved his foot away, and took Shen Dongqing away by the way.

The doctor paused, and turned to crying to the detective.

After the others left, after a while, the photographers woke up, and they were going to wait for the others to come back.

But they did not wait for their companions, but a group of aboriginals in a hurry.

When they sensed something was wrong, they hid aside.

But the photographer failed the lucky check and was discovered by the aborigines. She wanted to escape, but she was not as familiar with the mountains and forests as the aborigines, so she was caught after running for a while.

"They took the photographer away, and I hid in the grass for half an hour. I didn't dare to come back until I had nothing to do." After the doctor finished speaking, he noticed the extra Su Xiaoying, "This is..."

She had a flash of inspiration: "Su Xiaoying?"

Su Xiaoying nodded.

After knowing that he had found the mission target, the doctor suddenly became excited, and even forgot about the photographer who was taken away, and said excitedly: "Then we can leave here?"

Detective: "That's right, but..."

But there are also photographers.

The doctor interrupted him: "But what, don't hurry up, I've had enough of this ghost place!"

The detective hesitated.

Logically speaking, they are all companions, so he should go to rescue the photographer, but now that he can clear the level, delaying it might cause troubles.

After all, death here is a real death, not a game that can be resurrected.

Shen Dongqing: "We need to be saved."

The detective breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's save people first."

Zhou Wenyan had no objection, he said that he would be where Shen Dongqing was.

Seeing that one or two of them were not clear-headed, the doctor said sharply: "Are you crazy?! Can you pass the level now and stay here to die? I don't want to stay in this ghostly place anymore!"

She jumped there, but Shen Dongqing didn't respond, and even yawned: "Go upstairs and rest first."

Detective: "Wait... isn't it saving people?"

Shen Dongqing: "Don't worry, let alone now..." With his eyes, he gestured to Zhou Wenyan, who seemed to be a large dog incarnate, clinging to his back, "It's not easy to move either."

Hearing this, Zhou Wenyan raised his eyes and glanced over coldly, as if as long as the detective said something bad, he would be finished.

What else could the detective do?He can only nod.

Shen Dongqing: "Doesn't it mean that the sacrificial ceremony is held in genius? You can't die."

Su Xiaoying, who was standing in the hall, heard the word "sacrifice", her eyes changed slightly, but she quickly covered it up.

Originally, the doctor and the photographer were in the same room, but now the whereabouts of the photographer are unknown, and only the doctor is sitting at the end of the bed blankly.

She lowered her head and rolled up the right cuff with trembling fingers. A red spot could be seen on her white wrist. The red spot was not big, and a thin layer of skin was wrapped in red liquid.

It's not known when it came out.

The doctor hesitated for a moment, and directly deducted the red dot.

At the moment when the red spot was scratched, the doctor felt as if a piece of flesh had been dug out alive, and the pain made her cry.

puff--

A thin layer of skin split open, and the juice inside burst out, splashing onto the skin next to it.

The doctor gasped, and brought a tissue to wipe off the stinky liquid.But after the liquid was wiped off, the doctor found that red dots appeared one after another on the skin where the liquid was splashed.

What's even more frightening is that the red dot seems to be able to grow. With the sound of breathing, the red dot slowly expands and becomes a series of new "little grapes".

"what--"

The doctor screamed and staggered to the ground.

"Use medical skills!" she broke down.

[Verification succeeded]

[You used medical skills, but the sarcoma on your hand has not disappeared, maybe this is not some disease or injury, but... a curse]

"curse……"

The doctor paused, and took out the gold bracelet he picked up from his pocket.

The gold bracelet was heavy, with a lotus pattern on it, and a huge ruby ​​inlaid in the middle, shining under the incandescent lamp.

curse.

Could it be that he was cursed by the dead old lady?

The doctor was fascinated for a while, and took the gold bracelet, but she forgot that it was the old lady's funeral.

"I'll give it back right now, give it back!" The doctor got up from the ground, took a towel and wrapped it around his right wrist to prevent the sarcoma from bursting and polluting other skin.

She thought it would be all right to just return the gold bracelet.

This will counteract the curse.

The doctor put her right hand that was obstructive to the eyes behind her, and walked down the stairs slowly. At the corner of the stairs, she saw the hotel aunt sitting behind the counter.

The aunt looked up at the TV on the wall, humming something, because the distance was too far, and the sound of the TV covered it.

The doctor didn't notice anything wrong at the first time, but when he took a second look, he found that the aunt was gone, and what was sitting there was a lump of rotten flesh, which was piled up on the chair, forming a human shape, with the ups and downs of breathing, Bubbles continued to emerge from her body.

It may be that the TV series played a funny part, and the rotten meat also trembled, and the layers of meat continued to flow down.

puff--

A bubble burst, and a foul-smelling gas came out.

The doctor woke up with a start, and when he looked again, the aunt was still sitting there, watching TV seriously.

[Perform sanity check]

[Check failed, deduct 3 points of sanity]

With so much sanity deducted back and forth, the doctor is close to a state of madness, and she will become a walking dead, lose her consciousness, and wander in the game world forever.

"It must be wrong, it must be wrong!"

The doctor collapsed. There was such an aunt on the first floor who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost. She didn't dare to go out. She turned her head and ran upstairs, wanting to go back into the room. Before she had taken a few steps, she bumped into fucked someone.

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoying stood on the steps, looked down at the doctor below, with a gentle smile on her face, "Don't worry, is there anything I can do for you?"

[Su Xiaoying used a charm skill on you]

[Successful Charm]

[Under panic and collapse, you feel that Su Xiaoying is shining all over her body, she can save you, yes, you think so firmly]

The doctor's legs softened, and he almost knelt in front of Su Xiaoying, crying, "Help me!"

Su Xiaoying supported the doctor, and said softly: "It's okay, come with me, tell me slowly, and I will help you."
