No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Chapter 553 What animal does he look like?

"Give me back my body; pretending to be mute won't help."

The splashing water on his face chased away Wang Rui's last vestiges of sleepiness.

He ignored his own furious reflection in the mirror and picked up a towel to wipe his face.

Ever since that guy turned into a demon, he's been haunting us relentlessly.

His figure will appear anywhere that can reflect a shadow, even if it is just a drop of morning dew.

The doctor said it was a hallucination caused by schizophrenia and that it required medication and psychological intervention.

Wang Rui tried it, but it had no effect; in fact, he felt that the guy became even more arrogant.

He understood that control of this body would be taken back sooner or later, so he set up a trap, a trap in which he would gamble himself away.

The final piece held in their hand was Qiao Xinyue.

Wang Rui skipped the table laden with delicious food and went to the kitchen to heat up the porridge for breakfast.

While waiting, I opened my smart device to reply to the messages I hadn't finished replying to yesterday.

There have been so many news reports about Sun Zhigang since last night until this morning that it's impossible to scroll through them all.

Wang Rui glanced at the contents casually; they were almost entirely words of concern and worry.

My reply to him was very simple, nothing more than that he fell asleep last night and that I shouldn't worry.

Just as I was turning off the smart device and preparing to serve the porridge, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Luo Shiyu opened the door a crack, poked her head in, her eyes darting around, and asked like a thief, "Brother, do you have anything to eat?"

Wang Rui was amused by his comical appearance and invited him in; the table was full of food.

"Oh, oh, oh! I'm here!"

Luo Shiyu rushed into the house and sat down at the table without any ceremony.

"The food is a bit cold, let me heat it up for you to eat."

"Okay, thank you, bro."

Wang Rui poured the vegetables back into the pot and heated them up, making a sizzling sound.

He joked, "Why are you here to freeload a meal? Doesn't your brother-in-law provide you with food?"

"No, I came here to have dinner with Wang Xiaobao."

"Aren't bodies interconnected?"

"Of course not!" Luo Shiyu thought for a moment and explained, "Let me put it this way, brother, have you ever played open-world exploration games? We are like front-end characters and back-end characters, and our health and status are not shared."

"I see, that's quite novel."

Just as Luo Shi thought Wang Rui was about to launch into a series of follow-up questions, nothing more came of it.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

"No."

"You trust me that much?"

"I'm not so foolish as to doubt my savior. Don't think too much about it, let's eat."

Wang Rui brought the heated dishes to the table, and Luo Shiyu couldn't wait to transform back into Wang Xiaobao's body, picking up chopsticks and shoveling rice into his mouth with both hands.

In contrast, Wang Rui only scooped out a small half bowl of porridge and ate it slowly with a spoon.

I wish I could divide that spoonful of rice into three bites.

Xiao Hei ruthlessly retorted, "Master, could you please eat like Wang Rui and be a little more refined?"

I can't do it, I'm so hungry, I'm starving.

Xiao Hei: "Watching Wang Rui eat is a pleasure, but looking at my master is like watching a starving ghost reincarnated."

Say it however you like.

Xiao Bai: "Some people's temperament is innate; you can't force it."

What do you mean?!

Xiao Bai: "No, I just think Wang Rui really looks like a peacock."

Xiao Hei: "Only showing its screen to people it likes? That's interesting."

Xiao Bai: "It's flamboyant yet elegant!"

Xiao Hei: "Then what do you think the master is like?"

Xiao Bai: "Bengal leopard cat."

【why? 】

Xiao Bai: "Confident, lively, friendly, and most importantly, very curious."

[Hmm, that's true. So, what is this big block of ice?]

Xiao Bai: "Komodo dragon."

【? 】

Xiao Hei: "I know that! Komodo dragons are apex predators in the food chain, with no natural enemies. They are cold-blooded animals and prefer warm, sunny places. Most importantly, they are competitive and their mating sessions can last for hours."

"Pfft! Cough cough cough!"

Luo Shiyu spat out a mouthful of rice, nearly choking to death.

Wang Rui quickly poured a glass of water and came over to rub his back.

"Here, have some water. Are you feeling better?"

Luo Shiyu nodded and waved to Wang Rui that she was alright.

"What's wrong with you? You can't even eat properly. I've told you to chew slowly and carefully, but you just won't listen."

Luo Shiyu nodded again, obediently slowing down her eating pace, and continued the previous topic.

[Xiao Bai, according to you, what is my brother-in-law?]

Xiao Hei answered first: "Is that even a question? A simp!"

That's enough! Where's Jiajia?

Xiao Hei: "That fox, his cunning is practically written all over his face."

If Jiajia finds out about your comment, you'll get a severe scolding.

Xiao Hei: "Don't panic, he won't know."

Luo Shiyu finished his lunch while chatting and laughing with Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. He leaned back in his chair, patting his round belly, when he noticed Wang Rui looking at him with a smile, his chin resting on his hand.

"What are you thinking? You're eating and laughing at the same time."

Luo Shiyu forced an awkward smile.

"Why don't you turn around and talk to me?"

Luo Shiyu shook her head, pulled out her notebook, and wrote: "I now have three hours of downtime between transformations each day, and I want to hide away from my brother for a while."

"There's a time limit? Sure, stay here, you can keep me company."

"Great! When are you leaving town, brother?"

"It's hard to say, but it'll be soon. Once Fatty and Xiao Qing come back from their mission, they'll have a couple of days to get used to each other before leaving the city."

"Oh no, what will I do now that my brother's gone?"

“Your departure time should be around the same as ours. Let me ask.” Wang Rui said, opening his smart device to send a message to Sun Zhigang. After receiving an accurate reply, he continued, “Sun Zhigang accepted a B-level quest that focuses on gathering. The location is in the southern mountains. Although there are many monsters there, their levels are generally not high, making it a good place to level up.”

Therefore, he only planned to stay at the base for a week, and of course, he wouldn't be back too late, at most a month.

Wang Rui nodded in satisfaction after saying this.

"It seems he's really thinking about you guys."

[This is entirely because of my brother. But it's alright; it's only a month away, so it shouldn't be difficult to reach an agreement with Big Ice Cube.]
