Chapter 33 Blindness
Chi Yuan closed the valve.
The other pot contained the remaining parts of the monster, as if the owner of the room had anticipated that someone would come to the room and had specially prepared a gift for them.
Yan Xun?
The young man's face flashed into Chi Yuan's mind, but he quickly realized it was impossible!
The other person clearly doesn't have that kind of personality, so the only remaining possibility is...!
He had a bad feeling and wanted to leave immediately, but found that the kitchen door behind him had disappeared completely at some point.
He was plunged into complete darkness, with only the faint light from the flashlight in his hand.
But the darkness was not inanimate; it was like sand in the desert. Even if you tried to push it away, it would eventually flow back to its original position—the darkness gradually swallowed his left hand.
The valve that had been closed was opened again at this moment.
"Goooooooooo."
The two pots on the stove began to steam again, and the unpleasant smell in the air became even stronger.
Perhaps so that Chi Yuan could see all of this better, the darkness did not engulf the hand holding the flashlight.
They even held his hand at a certain angle so he could clearly see how the two pots slowly floated up and came to him.
The hot soup in the pot was boiling vigorously.
Chi Yuan felt something being forced open his mouth, and the pot of hot soup was about to be poured into it—
Chi Yuan closed his eyes, finally suppressing his shame, and shouted out his skill, "Everything is fleeting."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange horse emerged from the thick darkness. It looked like a unicorn, yet also like a phantom composed of drifting souls.
It has sharp teeth.
The moment it appeared, it swallowed up the darkness and the two large pots!
"Click, click."
The translucent, cloud-like creature chewed on the darkness, crushing the two pots and their contents before swallowing them whole.
Chi Yuan looked at the horse in the kitchen, then glanced suspiciously at the live stream room—seeing that the live stream room was currently closed—before he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
No one on the forum knew about Chi Yuan's skills; it was rumored that anyone who had seen his skills had been killed by him.
【100% outdated jokes】is Chi Yuan's skill; the older the joke, the more awkward it is, and the more damaging it becomes.
The downside is that you have to shout out those outdated jokes loudly for them to be effective.
Chi Yuan: "..."
It would be better to kill him!
The horse that appeared, after finishing its meal of darkness and two pots, slowly disappeared from Chi Yuan's sight, letting out a satisfied burp before leaving.
Fortunately, the kitchen returned to normal, and the valves remained closed, as if everything that had just happened was just Chi Yuan's hallucination.
He opened the kitchen door and found that the security guards were still standing in the same spot.
Chi Yuan glanced back at the still-messy 404 and realized who the extra player was.
But he didn't understand why this thing could be so blatant. He was certain that if he hadn't used his skill, he would have died on page 404 100%.
Once he dies, there will be one less online player in the taskbar.
There are clearly 5 players online, but the residents of Meimei Building are still listed as the 6 people. Even the most clueless person would have to guess that someone has infiltrated the players' ranks.
Chi Yuan gestured for the security guard to follow him out of room 404.
He took a few steps and suddenly understood why that thing did that—
He wanted to know if the remaining players could continue the act with one less player, without doubting Him.
……
Yan Xun was unaware that they were about to undergo a major test of their acting skills.
He had just dozed off for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he found that only two hours had passed. Gui Yuchong had already buried his face in the crook of his neck and was fast asleep, without changing his position.
Yan Xun glanced at him, pushed Gui Yuchong's head away, and then stretched his aching neck.
Gui Yuchong probably hadn't expected Yan Xun to be so direct, so he could only reluctantly pretend to wake up and put on an innocent look, "I was just asleep?"
Yan Xun really didn't understand why he would ask such a question that he already knew the answer to, so he didn't answer. He just stood up and observed the room in front of him.
Shen Rui leaned against the sofa, fast asleep, while Su Yumin also leaned back in her chair, feigning sleep. Even Li Wu crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and fell asleep on the sofa.
Something's not right, Yan Xun thought.
Even without Shen Rui's mention, Li Wu and Su Yumin are both veteran players, and it's impossible for them to leave no one on lookout and fall into a deep sleep under these circumstances.
"...Are they asleep?" Gui Yuchong seemed to have noticed the unusual quiet.
He slowly walked behind Yan Xun. "Has something come in?"
He was already a bit taller than Yan Xun, but the shadow that appeared on the floor at this moment couldn't be explained by just being "a bit taller".
He bent down with some difficulty and rested his head on Yan Xun's shoulder. "I'm a little scared."
"What about you?"
"I'm not feeling well," Yan Xun said.
"Hmm?" Gui Yuchong looked at the shadow on the floor. "Something's not quite right?"
Yan Xun's eyes were lifeless. He pointed to his eyes and said, "I've discovered that I can't see."
The much taller Gui Yuchong stared at the "blind" Yan Xun for a long time, then asked, "...What a coincidence?"
Yan Xun seemed not to understand what he meant.
His head instinctively turned towards Gui Yuchong.
Gui Yuchong's face was still the same, but the other person's body was no longer the same.
Unfortunately, Yan Xun can no longer see any of this.
"Help me sit down," Yan Xun said to Gui Yuchong, then reached out his hand to Gui Yuchong.
Gui Yuchong glanced at Yan Xun's hand, and the moment his "hand" touched Yan Xun's palm, it transformed back into that familiar human hand with its cool body temperature.
He led Yan Xun by the hand and slowly brought him to the door.
The door to room 504 disappeared before their eyes. Gui Yuchong held Yan Xun's hand and said, "Watch your step."
"I'll take you to a place to sit down."
Yan Xun pretended not to see that they had left 504 and walked down the dark corridor. "Is 504 really that big?"
"Perhaps it's because we've entered another dimension." Gui Yuchong led Yan Xun slowly down the corridor.
As they walked, the motion-sensor lights in the corridor turned on one by one... Finally, they arrived at the door of 508.
Yan Xun maintained his listless expression. "Aren't we there yet?"
Gui Yuchong turned to look at Yan Xun, "We've arrived."
He led Yan Xun into the dark 508, then sat him down on the sofa.
“We’ve arrived… baby.”
Gui Yuchong swallowed the two words he hadn't uttered. In his mind were images of human couples he had seen, who were still calling each other "baby" before they died, but ended up stabbing each other several times.
He didn't understand it then, but now he thinks the word is quite good.
Looking at Yan Xun, he felt an overwhelming love in his heart, so much so that he wanted to devour him whole.
Only when they are ingrained in each other's bones can they be considered together forever.
