It felt as if the door would break open at any moment, and they would come in.
Ultimately, with a loud crash, the door was kicked open.
The furniture was knocked around, moving to different places.
A group of people crowded at the doorway, trying to get in.
Song Jinshi was trembling under the blanket, softly whimpering.
“Wuwuwu, Lin Yansheng, come save me! Why did you leave me all alone here? You haven’t come to care for me at all!”
Fear filled Song Jinshi’s mind, and he couldn’t help but think of the villagers wanting to kill him for a sacrifice.
“Xiaoshi, why are you being so disobedient? Come back home with Mom and Dad.”
A group of people, led by his original parents, stood in front of him, looking at Song Jinshi with expressions as if they were copy-pasted.
Song Jinshi continued to hide under the blanket, deluding himself, but the trembling blanket revealed his fear.
Just as those aged hands, which were so out of place for their age, were about to touch the blanket, the villagers were suddenly blown away.
A pair of cold yet familiar large hands picked him up.
Song Jinshi, like a fledgling finding its home, immediately emerged from the blanket, his eyes filled with tears as he hugged the man’s neck tightly.
Acting spoiled, he complained,
“Why did you come so late? I thought I was going to be scared to death by them!”
Song Jinshi buried his face in the man’s chest, not daring to look outside.
The man chuckled softly, speaking in a very good mood, “Sorry, my wife, I’m late.”
He placed Song Jinshi on the bed in another room that hadn’t been destroyed.
“So, can my wife reward me with a kiss?”
The handsome face suddenly magnified before Song Jinshi, and the magnetic, gentle voice was so intoxicating it felt like drowning.
Song Jinshi lowered his eyes, long eyelashes falling, and although he didn’t speak, his movements toward the man showed his thoughts.
A soft kiss landed on Song Jinshi’s lips.
The man kissed Song Jinshi carefully, and as time passed, the originally gentle kiss became more passionate.
Song Jinshi went weak all over and melted into the man’s embrace.
The man held his waist with one hand to prevent him from slipping down, while the other tightened around the back of his head, not allowing him to retreat.
Finally, perhaps feeling sorry for Song Jinshi, he released him.
Song Jinshi lay in the man’s arms, panting lightly,
not forgetting to complain,
“I can’t even breathe!”
The man chuckled softly, gently caressing Song Jinshi’s head, his eyes filled with affection.
“Can you stay with me, my wife?”
The man’s words stunned Song Jinshi.
He had never thought about staying in the game; he needed to go home and couldn’t possibly remain here.
Avoiding the man’s gaze, Song Jinshi stumbled over his words, unable to speak.
Lin Yansheng still used that gentle tone, but his words sent shivers down Song Jinshi’s spine.
“It’s okay, my wife doesn’t need to agree; you can’t escape.”
After saying this, the man grasped the chain on his ankle.
Song Jinshi didn’t know what this chain did, but he couldn’t remove it; no matter what method he used, it wouldn’t come off. However, it seemed that others couldn’t see it; only Lin Yansheng and he could see it.
At that moment, Song Jinshi’s whole being became ethereal.
The chain the man was holding slowly vanished.
Until finally, he disappeared from the spot, and the man remained in that stance.
“You can’t escape; I will find you, my darling.”
At the end of the game, the man’s cold and obsessed words froze in time.
Chapter 17: Player Base
When Song Jinshi teleported away from the game, he had planned to rest for a while before diving into another game.
However, the unfamiliar scene before him shattered his pleasant thoughts.
The game lobby he saw was completely different from what he remembered.
The memory of the game lobby was bright and welcoming.
But the lobby in front of him was lifeless, and the people passing by were no longer relaxed and joyful but filled with sorrow and pain.
“Little assistant, what’s going on?”
Song Jinshi hurriedly inquired in his mind about the current situation.
Had the romance zone been renovated during his next game session?
The assistant was silent for a moment before speaking heavy-heartedly.
“Host, it seems we have arrived in the horror game zone. It seems the connection to the game wasn’t a mistake. I just saw your name on the player list from the horror zone. You are now a player in the horror game zone, and we might… not be able to go back.”
Song Jinshi lost his ability to react for a moment; this news was like a bolt from the blue.
He had planned never to return to the horror zone again and had no intention of participating in joint events with the horror zone, but unexpectedly, he had directly become a player in the horror zone.
“But don’t worry, host; our points from the romance zone can still be used here.”
“I just checked, and you are currently ranked eighth on the points leaderboard in the horror zone.”
At the same time, many people also noticed the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar name in the eighth position on the points leaderboard.
It was a name that had never appeared on any list in their zone before.
Now it had jumped straight to the eighth place on the leaderboard.
One must understand that the points leaderboard represented the number of games completed and the completion rate of the dungeons for a player.
In their horror zone, anyone appearing on the leaderboard was considered a big deal, let alone being eighth.
The forums exploded.
——”Does anyone know who this Song Jinshi is? How did he suddenly become the eighth? What kind of game did he complete to earn so many points?”
——”He must be a newbie; I’ve never heard of him before.”
——”I don’t know about this Song Jinshi, but I know there’s someone by that name in the romance strategy zone who’s the number one on the leaderboard and is incredibly good-looking!”
