“Alright, alright, now there’s one more person. I like this.”
Song Jinshi angrily pushed away the silent man sitting on the bed, playing with a silver chain.
“How dare you slander me!”
Afterward, in a fit of childish temper, he kicked the man with his fair little foot.
“Lin Yansheng! Are you just going to sit there and let them take your wife? Why aren’t you reacting at all?!”
At this moment, Song Jinshi was so furious that he forgot all about the mission. The reward no longer mattered; he couldn’t let things escalate any further. He shuddered to think of what might happen.
So, he ultimately chose Lin Yansheng, whom he had interacted with the most and had married. His instincts told him that Lin Yansheng was the true boss of this scenario.
Only then did Lin Yansheng raise his eyes, his gaze heavy as he stared at Song Jinshi. “Of course, I won’t let them take my wife. You belong to me.”
Once he finished speaking, Song Jinshi suddenly disappeared from the spot. At the last moment, he heard the man murmur.
“Wait for me at home, my dear wife. I will handle them all.”
The next moment, before Song Jinshi could even comprehend where he was, a wave of drowsiness overwhelmed him, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Naturally, the sent-away Song Jinshi had no idea how fierce the struggle among the three men had become.
In the end, none got a good outcome in the fight for their wife. Among them, the one with the lightest injuries was the Lin Yansheng of the real world.
In another world, he was irritable and angry; with just a few words, he got into a fight with the foolish Shen Yuanxing. Although he suffered some injuries, they were the least severe.
However, he couldn’t go find his dear wife now; it would scare her.
Song Jinshi woke up amidst the anxious calls of his little helper.
“Host, wake up quickly! The mission is about to end! Wake up! If you don’t wake up soon, we’ll miss the time to escape! We’ll have to wait for the next mission to bring in new players!”
Song Jinshi was startled awake by this news.
Hurriedly, he asked, “Little helper, how much time is left before the mission ends?”
“One hour left, host.”
“How did I sleep for so long?”
Song Jinshi shook his sleepy, aching head.
“Has Lin Yansheng returned?”
“No, host.”
Hearing that he hadn’t come back, Song Jinshi didn’t want to think about what had happened anymore.
After all, the mission would end in an hour; as long as he survived until then, he would complete the mission and leave. These matters were no longer related to him.
Bored waiting for the mission to finish, Song Jinshi suddenly heard the sound of what seemed to be the door being broken open outside.
He trembled in fear and quickly took out his perspective binoculars to look outside.
It was actually those villagers.
“Weren’t they dead?”
Song Jinshi looked at the situation in confusion.
He vaguely heard the villagers downstairs talking about sacrifices, suppression, and so on.
They were spreading out, searching for something in the house.
The so-called original parents were calling out his name, claiming they had convinced everyone not to let him marry that boy from the Lin family and told him to come out.
Everyone’s faces wore identical smiles, sending shivers down his spine.
In a panic, Song Jinshi put away the binoculars, disregarding that he wasn’t wearing shoes, and ran barefoot down from the bed to lock the door.
He carefully moved other heavy items to block the door.
After securing everything, Song Jinshi weakly sat down by the door.
“Little helper, how much time is left until we exit the mission?”
“Fifty minutes left, host.”
Song Jinshi pulled the blanket off the bed and wrapped himself in the dark corner of the room.
Seconds ticked by, and soon the villagers who had searched all the rooms gathered at the door of the room where Song Jinshi was.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
Knocking sounds echoed.
Followed by the voices of his original parents, “Xiao Shi, open the door! Daddy and Mommy are here to take you home.”
Outside, the villagers continued to call out to him, their tone as warm and friendly as if nothing had happened before.
If one ignored their eerie smiles and stiff bodies.
Song Jinshi clearly remembered seeing several people from outside being killed, yet they now appeared unscathed before him, still in human form.
He tightened the blanket around himself, curled up into a ball.
“Xiao Shi, open the door! It’s Grandpa Wang! We’re all worried about you. Please open the door; we’ll take you home.”
The villagers outside took turns calling out to Song Jinshi, their persistence suggesting they wouldn’t give up until he came out.
Tears streamed down Song Jinshi’s face as he trembled in fear.
“You’re lying; you’re not them! You’re monsters!”
He said this so quietly that only he could hear.
“Little helper, I want to go back to the romance攻略区, I don’t want to stay here anymore. Wuwuwu, it’s so scary here; I don’t like it.”
Song Jinshi choked up as he spoke to his little helper.
“Host, don’t panic. Once we get out, we’ll go back. This should just be a mishap; something may have gone wrong with the connection between the two missions.”
Song Jinshi nodded, counting the remaining seconds in his heart until the mission ended.
Seeing Song Jinshi staying silent, the villagers grew increasingly impatient.
“Song Jinshi, open the door!” This was his father’s voice.
With this voice, soon another round of calls to make him open the door echoed outside.
They sounded as if they had been copied and pasted, their tone eerily consistent.
Perhaps knowing that the person inside wouldn’t open the door, they began to break down the door.
The door creaked under the impact of the people outside, and the furniture blocking it shook from the force.
