Ye Di... where are the others

Xia Qi climbed up from his original position, slowly moved to the edge of the eaves, and stretched his head to look under the eaves.

Unexpectedly, the floor tiles under the eaves were clean, with only an empty wine glass with spilled wine.

"Moon God, what are you looking at?"

Suddenly, a familiar man's voice came from behind. Xia Qi was still hunched over and looking down. Before he could get up, he felt a big hand hugging his abdomen, and then he was lifted up from behind.

After Xia Qi was able to stand steadily in Ye Di's arms, he simply leaned on his arms and turned around in his arms.

Ye Di looked down at him with a smile, his eyes particularly bright, and said, "Do you think I fell down?"

Isn’t it

Xia Qi raised his head and looked at him calmly.

"Ahem." Perhaps it was because Xia Qi's expression was too obvious, Ye Di cleared his throat uncomfortably, then raised the wine pot and a bunch of wine glasses in his left hand, his expression very calm, and he continued to explain, "I'll go get this dream incense."

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Xia Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at him, thinking, this is really Schrödinger's fall.

"Come and drink with me." Ye Di released his right hand, held his shoulder and sat down.

Worried that Xia Qi might fall, Ye Di did not let go of Xia Qi after they sat down. He held his hand with one hand, placed it on his waist, and said softly, "Moon God, hold me up."

Xia Qi sat beside him, holding his slender waist with one hand, staring at his profile without blinking, and holding back the question that was almost on his lips.

Ye Di naturally began to pour wine, then handed him a glass of wine and asked him in a negotiating tone: "It would be too hasty to hold the wedding ceremony tomorrow. How about waiting until the day after tomorrow? I want to give you a perfect wedding ceremony."

"Okay." Xia Qi pretended to be indifferent as he took his wine glass and took a sip of the wine.

This wine called "Rumengxiang" is indeed unique. It does not have the sweet and spicy taste of ordinary liquor. It even has a sweet aftertaste. Xia Qi usually does not like to drink, but he quite likes the taste of Rumengxiang.

"Do you like it?" Ye Di looked at him with a smile, as if he was sure that he liked the taste.

Feeling that Ye Di's eyes were a little strange, Xia Qi nodded and took another sip of the Dream Fragrance.

After drinking two sips of Ru Meng Xiang, Xia Qi slowly frowned and suddenly felt something was wrong.

This dream fragrance... He seemed to have drunk it somewhere before.

At this time, Xia Qi found that his vision began to blur, but surprisingly, the appearance of the Night Emperor in front of him also seemed to begin to change.

Although the outline of Ye Di was blurry, it became more and more familiar to him.

“… What’s going on?” Looking at the blurry face in front of him, Xia Qi felt as if his nerves were being pricked.

He seemed to have forgotten something very important.

"Stop drinking." Ye Di suddenly reached out and snatched the wine glass from his hand.

Xia Qi blocked his hand with his right hand and poured another big gulp of wine into his mouth. After this big gulp of cold liquid slid down his throat, he felt his vision becoming increasingly blurred.

At the same time, Ye Di gave him an even stronger sense of familiarity.

Ye Di's face, eyes, nose, lips, and everything about him became more and more familiar to Xia Qi, so familiar that it seemed as if he had always known this person.

"You..." Xia Qi stretched out his left hand and stroked Ye Di's face, feeling the familiar temperature of his skin inch by inch.

However, no matter how hard Ren Xiaqi racked his brains, he could not remember who the man in front of him was.

"You are drunk." Looking at the young man in front of him whose expression was gradually becoming confused, Ye Di grabbed his hand, and his grip became tighter and tighter.

Xia Qi ignored his dissuasion, grabbed the wine jug in his hand and took a big gulp of Rumengxiang. After drinking it, his right hand was unstable and the Rumengxiang in his hand fell from the eaves, and shattered into pieces on the floor tiles with a "pop".

After the wine went down his throat, it overwhelmed his nerves in an instant. When Xia Qi was almost about to remember who the person in front of him was, his brain suddenly twitched, as if it was disturbed by something.

It was as if there was some obstacle preventing him from remembering the past.

"Why do you suddenly want to hold a wedding?" Ye Di asked with a frown, looking at the young man with misty eyes.

Xia Qi opened his eyes slightly, looked at him, and did not answer.

Ye Di's lacquer-like eyes became darker and darker, and his voice became a little hoarse: "Are you doing this reluctantly?"

Xia Qi felt that his brain was becoming increasingly dull, but when he heard this question, he shook his head.

In order to see his appearance clearly, Xia Qi moved forward and gradually got closer to his face.

The breathing of the two people was entangled together. Xia Qi opened his eyes and looked at the face that was becoming more and more familiar, but he still couldn't ask the question in his throat: Who are you

Because the two were very close, when they were about to touch each other, Xia Qi finally saw his face clearly.

It was a flawless face as white as cold jade. His pair of phoenix eyes were exceptionally deep, like the night sky of a city that never sleeps, as if sprinkled with sparkling stars. Looking into the depths of his eyes, Xia Qi could not see the end at a glance.

"Do you want more?" Looking at the young man so close, Ye Di's eyes became more and more seductive, and his voice became hoarse, "I still have some."

Before Xia Qi could see his appearance clearly, the person in front of him suddenly grabbed the back of his head and kissed him fiercely.

"Hmm—"

He plundered greedily from top to bottom, and Xia Qi was pressed to sit on the eaves and forced to raise his head.

His movements were crazy, as if he wanted to take away everything from him and leave him alone in the world.

Under the light of the sun and the moon, the young man raised his head and was held in the arms of the man in the black robe with fluttering sleeves. Their heads leaned together and they continued to linger.

After Xia Qi was completely drunk and passed out, Ye Di slowly let go of him, licked the corner of his lips infatuatedly, and said in that low and charming voice:

“Is it delicious?”

"My Lady! You're awake!"

The next day, as soon as Xia Qi opened his eyes, he heard someone calling him affectionately.

He was stunned for a moment and almost thought he had entered the wrong set.

It was not until he saw the vermilion corners of the palace maid's mouth and the pupils drawn with two drops of ink that Xia Qi knew he was still in the Never-Sleeping City copy.

"Empress, let me help you up." The paper-like palace maid was wearing a pink palace dress and had two buns on her head. She stretched out her hands towards him.

"No need." Xia Qi pushed her hand away and sat up swiftly.

After he sat up, he found that he had not returned to the side hall, but was lying on an extremely extravagant bed. The bed was covered with bright yellow sheets with several golden dragons embroidered on it. Bright yellow curtains hung over the golden edge of the bed. It was obviously the dragon bed of the Night Emperor.

Xia Qi reached out to the quilt next to him and found that there was still some heat inside.

His eyes slowly narrowed.

Just like before, Ye Di was climbing up the pole as fast as riding a rocket.

However, fortunately, Xia Qi's clothes and pants were not touched, which made him feel a little better.

He calmly withdrew his hand, threw back the quilt and stood up.

"Don't call me queen." Xia Qi turned around and said to the maid.

"Okay, Queen Moon!" The paper maid nodded and slowly floated towards the door. "I'll bring breakfast for Queen Moon."

Xia Qi: “…”

"Just call her Her Majesty." Xia Qi was suddenly helpless. The word "Empress" sounded even more terrifying.

While the little maid was still there, Xia Qi continued to make a request: "By the way, pour me another cup of cold tea, thank you."

After saying this, he rubbed his lips and found that his lips and tongue were very painful, so he had to find some cold tea to cool them down.

After finishing his breakfast and drinking cold tea in the room, he walked out to see what was happening with the zombie boy and the financial man next door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the side hall, he saw the zombie boy tied outside, being watched by several paper coachmen.

How was the zombie boy thrown out

Xia Qi pushed open the side hall with a puzzled look on his face, and found that inside the side hall, Sister Hong was holding her whip that was emitting lightning and fire, threatening the financial man who was tied to the pillar: "Will you tell me or not? If you don't, I will whip you to death!"

The finance man looked at her tearfully, still refusing to admit his fault, and continued to say stubbornly: "What are you talking about? I'm just a watermelon farmer. I don't know you! I don't know what you want me to say!"

Listening to the financial man's sophistry, the zombie boy tied at the door sneered and said to Xia Qi: "He is just that kind of person. You'd better stop dreaming and let us go back to save time."

After saying that, the zombie boy grinned and showed Xia Qi his bitten tongue.

Looking at the zombie boy's mouth full of black blood and torn tongue, Xia Qi was silent for a while, then showed sympathy to him and said, "You have suffered."

Only a patient who has experienced pain would bite his tongue like this.

The zombie boy originally wanted to disgust Xia Qi, but he didn't expect that not only was he not disgusted, but he also gave him such a ghostly expression.

The zombie boy was very unhappy. He started to sneer and say, "Don't try to persuade me. I'm telling you out of mercy that it's useless to kill him. You won't get what you want."

"I know." Xia Qi responded.

It is because of this that the zombie boy is so difficult to deal with. Xia Qi frowned and thought that he could not let Sister Hong go on like this, as it would only be a waste of energy.

If you want to convert the zombie boy, you have to solve the problem from the root.

After standing outside the door and thinking for a long time, Xia Qi cleared his throat and called Sister Hong out.

Seeing Xia Qi coming, Sister Hong glanced at Xia Qi's slightly swollen lips, moved her eyes away uncomfortably, pretending that she saw nothing, and said, "Ahem, I plan to get rid of him today."

Xia Qi was surprised and asked, "Why are you so anxious to get rid of him?"

Sister Hong suddenly laughed, raised her eyebrows and looked at him, with a motherly glow in her eyes, similar to "my daughter has grown up". She said with a smile: "Tomorrow is your wedding ceremony. You know, it's unlucky to see blood at a wedding. I just want to go all out and do it today."

Xia Qi: “…”

His teammates were so considerate, what else could he say

However, Sister Hong's method of beating up the finance guy was unlikely to work, so Xia Qi still planned to solve it himself.

He first whispered a few words to Sister Hong and asked her to go into the side hall again to help him test the financial man.

Sister Hong returned to the side hall and threatened the financial man with a whip. After a while, she came out and said, "I tried it, and he doesn't know what regeneration fluid is."

Xia Qi nodded, walked towards the zombie boy tied in the corner, and said coldly: "I know the resentment in your heart."

The zombie boy snorted coldly, then turned his head away, looking non-violent and non-cooperative.

Although outsiders could kill them, the zombie boy didn't believe they would just let it go, after all, they still wanted something from him.

Xia Qi came to the zombie boy, lowered his head, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The zombie boy was originally dismissive of him, but as he listened, his expression slowly began to relax.

After whispering his plan, Xia Qi stood firm again and said to the zombie boy seriously: "His life is in our hands now. If we kill him by force, the resentment in your heart will definitely not be resolved. This is unfair to you."

The zombie boy looked at him and fell into a long silence.

"I suggest you cooperate with us. I guarantee that you can see what you want." Xia Qi said to him seriously. To show his sincerity, he loosened the rope on the zombie boy.

Seeing that Xia Qi actually released the zombie boy, Sister Hong felt confused and didn't know what agreement they had reached.

She scratched her head impatiently, feeling as if a kitten was scratching her heart.

After the zombie boy was released, he thought carefully for a while. Just when Sister Hong was worried that he would suddenly hurt someone, the zombie boy actually laughed at himself, nodded to Xia Qi, and said, "Okay."

"Sister Hong, please go in and beat him up again." After reaching an agreement with the zombie boy, Xia Qi said to Sister Hong.

"What?! Is it that simple?!" Sister Hong didn't understand at first, but when she saw that Xia Qi had released the zombie boy, she felt very strange.

She looked at Xia Qi on the left, then at the zombie boy who was no longer making trouble, and slowly reacted.

"Okay, let me go in and have some fun." Sister Hong shook her head helplessly, pulled out her thunder and fire whip, and rushed in quickly.

After a while, the howling of a financial man like a pig being slaughtered was heard from the side hall.

"Snap!" This is the sound of the whip hitting flesh.

"Ah! Help! Why is there such a scary woman?!"

"Snap!" The whip made another sound.

"Ah! You damn woman, are you crazy?"

"Pa pa pa!" Sister Hong whipped him three more times.

"Woo woo woo! Don't hit me, I was wrong!"

In half an hour, Sister Hong beat the finance guy unconscious.

"Okay, take him back."

Calculating that the finance man was about to wake up, Xia Qi stuffed a few pieces of paper into the zombie boy's hand and urged him to go into the side hall and take the finance man back.

The zombie boy nodded at him. Before pushing the door open, he suddenly turned his head, looked at the two of them with burning eyes, and said, "If this method works, I will be grateful to you."

After the zombie boy goes in, he wakes up the finance guy first.

Seeing the zombie boy preparing to take him home, the financial man didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the pieces of paper stuck on the zombie boy's sharp claws, the financial man suddenly showed joy: "Brother, you are really good."

Unexpectedly, this zombie was sick at night but could fight quite well during the day. Even the paper cart drivers were torn to pieces. He was really lucky to have met such a powerful helper.

"Brother, let's go." said the zombie boy.

"Good!" The financial man was very satisfied with this violent zombie "brother".

The financial man had already figured out the settings of this dungeon since the first day he came to the zombie brother's house. He knew that everyone would turn into zombies during the day and turn back into their original appearance at night.

The reason why he works so hard to play the role of the zombie boy's brother and is willing to sell watermelons is because he has killed too many people. Once he and the zombie boy fall out, there will be more terrifying debt collectors after the zombie boy.

Instead of doing that, he might as well fight the zombie boy to the end, hide in the dungeon and wait for his teammates to help him pass it.

The reason why he became a high-level player was all due to his good mouth and ability to survive. This time, he believed in himself that he could continue to rely on this method to pass the level.

The finance man climbed up with a smile, and with the help of the zombie boy, he tremblingly left the Palace of the City That Never Sleeps.

Watching the backs of a man and a zombie supporting each other as they left the palace gate, Sister Hong stood on the eaves of the side hall and looked at Xia Qi in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

Xia Qi put his hands behind his back, smiled faintly and said, "He is a very clever liar. If you want to deal with him, you have to let a more clever liar deceive him."

The liar who is deceived by a more clever liar will surely end up in a miserable situation.

This way, the ghosts who come to seek revenge on the trickster will be satisfied.

When the finance man returned home, he didn't even have time to clean the blood off his body and just lay down on the bed.

Being beaten repeatedly over the past two days had exhausted him, so he planned to have a good rest, and it would be best if he could sleep for another day or two.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt his legs a little itchy.

The finance man lifted the quilt, looked down, and found a head under the quilt.

"What the hell!" He lifted the quilt in shock, only to find that the head was actually a zombie boy.

The financial man lifted the quilt, and the zombie boy lying on his lap slowly raised his head and grinned at him.

Because the zombie boy's smile was so weird, the finance guy couldn't help but take a closer look and found that there was a stream of shiny saliva flowing from the corner of the zombie boy's mouth.

"Plop", the zombie boy's saliva flowed down his chin and dripped onto the finance man's thigh.

“Brother, what are you doing…” The financial man felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to pull his legs back, his brother suddenly opened his mouth and bit his thigh.

"Ahhh!" Feeling a sharp pain in his leg, the finance man instantly jumped up from the bed, scared out of his wits, and ran out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed on the ground, he was picked up again by the zombie boy's claw.

"What are you doing! Why are you suddenly going crazy?" the finance man yelled.

He has always been playing the role of a good brother who earns life-saving money for his younger brother. In the past few days, his "younger brother" has behaved very docilely, not at all like Li Ming's crazy wife. Unexpectedly, today his younger brother turned into a violent zombie and suddenly attacked and hurt people.

What is going on

Could it be that my brother was affected by the sight of the city that never sleeps shining day and night

Before the finance guy could figure out what was going on, the zombie boy dragged him back and started biting his legs frantically.

The finance guy is a high-level player after all. Facing the attack of the zombie boy, he still has the ability to fight back.

"Get out!" Since the zombie boy was completely furious, the finance guy did not hold back and directly took out his props and pushed the zombie boy into the corner.

He was covered in blood, and several pieces of flesh were bitten off his legs. Just as he was about to run away, several horrible howls suddenly came from the backyard. Before the finance man could run out of the house, several other family members suddenly broke in and pounced on him like crazy!

"ah!"

After being dragged into the room for a while, large pieces of flesh were bitten off from the finance man's legs, especially his left leg, where the white bones were visible. His right leg was even more miserable, as it was directly taken away by his "mother".

After fighting with a group of zombies for nearly half an hour, the finance man almost lost half his life. He crawled out of the zombie nest covered in blood and exhausted.

Originally, he thought Sister Hong was the most terrifying woman in the world, but he didn't expect that what was even more terrifying was this group of wolf-like and tiger-like zombies.

Because the noise of the fight in the financial man's house was too loud, the Tianji people who were waiting nearby had already heard the news and were waiting near the financial man's residence.

Seeing the financial man crawling out of the zombie nest covered in blood, the formation leader laughed at Cha Gong and said, "The Light Extinguisher is so inhumane that he actually left his teammates alone? If his luck was worse, he might have been bitten to death by the zombies, hahahaha..."

After gloating for a while, the leader said, "How about we go up and kill him right away?"

This copy is an advanced copy, and with the killing mode turned on, nothing will happen to them even if they kill the finance guy.

Hearing this, Cha Gong folded his hands and sneered, "What's the point of finishing him off? He can't give us any enlightenment value."

Xia Qi and Sister Hong are fully capable of killing the financial man and the zombies. The reason they haven't dealt with them until now means that killing the financial man and his family is useless.

Since killing them doesn't work, what's the point of killing them? They can't get any enlightenment points, and it's just a waste of their efforts.

"Then what should we do? Spare his life?" asked the one holding the formation puzzledly. To them, the more Lantern Extinguishers there were alive, the greater the risk to them. It would be better to just kill them directly.

Cha Gong curled his lips and said coldly: "Let's make use of the waste."

Since Xia Qi doesn't want this person, he wants it.

He has always been good at playing with people's hearts. He plans to continue using the previous methods to recruit people from the enemy camp for his own use, and then let them deal with the enemy camp.

It would be even better if this person harbored hatred towards the Light Extinguisher. He was defeated by the Cripple in the Rose Earl dungeon because the Cripple did not have enough hatred towards the blue camp.

"Ah? Brother Cha, how do you plan to use him?" the formation holder asked puzzledly. He really couldn't guess what Cha Gong was thinking.

This young programmer seems to have average physical fitness. He can carry things with his shoulders but cannot lift anything with his hands. He looks like a show-off. However, he has won the appreciation of Mr. Lin, also known as the eldest master Lin. Even the man with the scar has to ask Cha Gong for his opinion before doing anything.

It can be seen that Cha Gong has a very high status in Young Master Lin's heart. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Young Master Lin's confidant.

"Go and drag him back, and wait for me to deal with him later." After Cha Gong gave the order, he walked forward with Scar, "Scar and I will go to the city center."

Since this morning, the center of the city that never sleeps has become bustling with red lanterns hung everywhere, and some people are pasting the word "囍" on the walls. The city is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.

There were also people beating drums and gongs and shouting slogans, as if they were announcing some important happy event.

After Cha Gong and Scar Man arrived at the city center, they happened to see Sister Hong walking out of the McDonald's with a group of paper maids.

The palace maids, wearing brand new paper clothes, walked happily outside the palace walls, throwing flower petals and colorful balls and distributing fruits with a smile on their faces.

Sister Hong was wearing a red dress and carrying a large basket. She threw out handfuls of wedding candy and shouted, "Tomorrow His Majesty and Moon Goddess will hold a wedding ceremony. Everyone remember to come and show your support. We don't charge any money!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a paper man cooperated with her and struck the gong.

“Boom—”

The sound of the gong lingered in the air for a long time, and Cha Gong's mind was stunned by the sound. It took him a long time to realize who was going to marry whom.

"Oh shit!"

After figuring it out, Cha Gong cursed loudly, kicked the colorful balls floating around him away, and his whole face was twisted with anger.
