Seeing the ghost covered in tape slowly squatting on the ground, curled up into a ball, silent and not saying a word, Cheng Zhichu blinked, inexplicably having a strange feeling that the ghost is very pitiful.
Is this because he is inferior to his appearance, or has Zhou Luochen done something to him that caused his face to be disfigured
No matter what this pervert Zhou Luochen did, Cheng Zhichu wouldn't find it strange now, but this is just his guess. After all, this reality copy does not need to explore the truth. He didn't find any clues and had no clue about the identity of the ghost. It was most likely just the poor man killed by Zhou Luochen.
"Aren't you Zhou Luochen? Then who are you and why are you here? Is your death related to Zhou Luochen?"
In order to be able to kiss the ghost, Cheng Zhichu felt that he had to get close to him, so he squatted down, looked at the ghost curiously, and asked this.
"… "
The ghost didn't answer his words, but his body trembled slightly. Cheng Zhichu saw that he didn't say a word, and quietly narrowed the distance between the two of them. He almost got to the ghost's side, and faintly felt the cold temperature.
"Zhou Luochen didn't commit suicide, didn't you, did you kill him?" Cheng Zhichu said, "Well... If it was really you who killed him, then I want to say that you did a good job, and he was completely innocent."
Hearing his words, the ghost finally reacted a little, raised his head slightly, and glanced at him secretly with beautiful eyes.
"I'm curious, when did you meet me and why do you like me?"
Cheng Zhichu asked him in a calm tone, but the feeling in his heart was very subtle. He felt like he was an abductor, and the ghost in front of him was an innocent and pure child who was about to be brutally murdered by him.
"Don't you feel bored with tape wrapped like this?" Cheng Zhichu tentatively stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the back of the ghost's cold hand, "Would you like me to untie it for you?"
Gui suddenly raised his head, as if frightened, opened his eyes slightly, and stepped back, but Cheng Zhichu boldly grabbed his hand and pulled most of the old tape off his hand at once.
The tape peeled off, and the slender and fair fingers were exposed from the inside, and the fingertips showed a little transparent white, like ice sculptures and jade carvings, it was a very beautiful hand.
His face must be very beautiful, right
Cheng Zhichu was startled, and accidentally let the ghost retract his hand. His thoughts drifted a little, and he couldn't help but guess what kind of appearance would be hidden under the tape.
As for the fact that he was about to kiss a man again, Cheng Zhichu was already very numb, and his heart was not disturbed. He even began to suspect that there were no women in the Boss in the picture book.
He doesn't have any requirements anymore, at least this Boss is still a person, he is very satisfied, because he hasn't forgotten that there are Bosses who are obviously not human in the shadows of the previous illustrations...
The ghost hurriedly picked up the tape that had fallen on the ground, and seemed to want to wrap it around again. Cheng Zhichu immediately grabbed his wrist and said, "Your hands are so beautiful, don't you cover them up?"
"..." The ghost was silent for a few seconds, then slowly released his hand, acquiescing to Cheng Zhichu's words.
Cheng Zhichu was overjoyed and said, "Don't you take off the other tapes? Ah... But if you don't want to," he added, noticing the ghost's resistance, "Take off the tape from your mouth, I I want to talk to you, can you see?"
The ghost looked up at him slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but more joy, hesitating, he tore off the tape on his mouth, revealing light-colored lips.
"...what are you trying to say?"
After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth to speak, but it seemed to be because he had not made a sound for too long. He was not used to speaking, and his voice was jerky and hoarse, and he could not hear the original tone.
Perhaps it was because he gradually let go of himself. At this time, he held Cheng Zhichu's hand tightly and lowered his head, unwilling to let go of him again. He was a little flustered but also very happy about Cheng Zhichu's approach to him. .
He did not expect that after he sent Zhichu into the painting, Zhichu was not afraid of him, but wanted to meet him. If he had known this would be the case, maybe he would not have sent Zhichu to the painting in the first place. in.
He will send Zhichu into the painting because that is the only chance for him to use his original appearance to get close to Zhichu.
In the portraits, he could be possessed by his own body when he was a teenager. Although he could not control himself, he was very satisfied to meet Zhichu so closely.
But he couldn't control the timeline in the painting. Once inside the painting, time had to elapse from the moment Zhou Luochen and Zhichu met, and ended when he met Zhichu, which was only a short ten minutes. .
He hated his current face and dared not appear in front of Zhichu in this appearance, but he wanted to meet Zhichu again, so he brought Zhichu into the painting and created this "game".
Even if the Zhichu in the painting is discovered by Zhou Luochen, there will be no consequences, just withdraw from the painting.
And what he said that once Zhichu loses the game, he will stay with him forever. Of course, it is impossible to achieve. He doesn't dare to meet Zhichu at all, let alone leaving people here, he can't do this. Do.
He just wanted to use his previous appearance and say a few words to Zhichu, that's all.
As for now, being so close to Zhichu was something he didn't even dare to dream of.
"What do I want to say?"
Hearing the ghost's question, Cheng Zhichu paused for a few seconds. Although he did have a lot of questions, he didn't really want to ask the ghost to understand, he just wanted to be able to kiss him.
After thinking for a while, he still asked the simplest question, slowly approaching the past while asking.
"What's your name?"
Noticing that he suddenly brought his face forward, the ghost was a little overwhelmed, he ducked back slightly, and subconsciously replied in a hoarse voice, "Bai—"
But just as he was about to say his name, he stopped abruptly, lowered his eyelashes, a bitter smile appeared on his lips, and shook his head gently.
He doesn't need the name anymore...
At the same time, Cheng Zhichu slightly stood on tiptoe and touched his lips lightly.
[The Boss illustrations have been collected, congratulations on passing the copy "Terrorist Variety Show". 】
[Clearance reward: experience value × 3000, survival point × 2000. 】
[Congratulations to the player for upgrading to level 20. 】
[Congratulations on completing the main quest, you can complete the dungeon after walking out of the villa. 】
The system's prompt sounded, and Cheng Zhichu watched the ghost's body turn into a crystal spot of light, gradually dissipating into the air, still maintaining the position just now, and some did not recover.
Although he had always thought that this ghost was the boss of the villa, he could only be completely sure after collecting the illustrations. It's just that even at the end, he doesn't know what the ghost's name is or what his identity is.
He looked a little sad when he disappeared...
Recalling the ghost's eyes at that time, for some reason, Cheng Zhichu felt a little sad, as if he had forgotten something very important.
Fortunately, he also has a Boss illustration, which will explain the Boss, at least he can check the ghost's name from the illustration.
But after opening the illustrated book, Cheng Zhichu was stunned.
【Number: 039】
【Name:? 】
[Source: Horror Variety Show]
[Difficulty level: ? 】
[Note: You'd better forget him. 】
The ghost in the picture book always has only one back, and never turned around again.
"Why isn't his name in the picture book?" Cheng Zhichu asked the system in surprise, "I didn't get his information in the copy, and wouldn't it be reflected in the picture book?"
[No, the picture book should reflect all the information about the Boss. I don't know what happened to him...] The system's voice was a little hesitant, [Maybe he refused to reveal it himself. 】
Why doesn't he want to say anything
Cheng Zhichu stared at the ghost's back for a while, and finally closed the page in confusion, but perhaps he would never have the chance to know the answer.
[That's not necessarily true, in fact, you may still know. 】
The system said: [I don't seem to have told you that there is a power between these bosses that echoes each other. The more illustrations you collect, the stronger the power they have in the illustrations, and they will gradually break away from the illustrations. After the number, you can summon them and use their power in other dungeons. 】
"Get out of the picture book? You mean they might pop up one day?"
Cheng Zhichu was startled. Compared with whether he could use the power of the illustrated book, he was more worried that one day a Boss would suddenly appear, such as this unknown ghost and Xie Yuanhuai. He escaped from the picture book, and he was afraid that he would splatter three feet of blood on the spot!
[There will be no such situation, they can't come out by themselves, they need to be called by you. 】
The system said: [However, the collection of illustrations is too low now, and it is still far from being able to summon them. Don't forget that you still have 183 bosses left. 】
Cheng Zhichu: "...This kind of thing doesn't need you to remind me!"
[Why don't you need to remind, you have to speed up the progress, otherwise I suspect that even if you live to the age of 80, you will not be able to collect the illustrated book, do you still expect that you will be able to seduce these Bosses with your beauty when you are 80? 】
"You spit out blood! When have I ever seduced them!?"
Cheng Zhichu walked out of the villa while spraying with the system, officially ending the dungeon.
In this copy, a photographer died unexpectedly. In reality, the nature is equivalent to a murder case. Cheng Zhichu was worried about how to deal with it, but the system told him not to worry, because this person would come back to life immediately.
"survived?"
Cheng Zhichu was startled and asked quickly, "Is there a resurrection function in the game?"
[Resurrection does not exist. Once the player dies, he cannot be resurrected again. To be precise, this photographer is not resurrected, but a "dungeon reset". 】
[You know that some dungeons in the game can be entered repeatedly. Whenever a player clears the level, those killed bosses and monsters will be reset, waiting for the next batch of players to enter and start the dungeon process again. 】
[This is the mechanism of the game. All "non-player" elements can be refreshed. This photographer is not a player, but a passerby who died innocently, so it can be reset and he can be resurrected. 】
[And since this is a reality copy, the situation is very special. After our research, we feel that the memory of these people should be partially corrected to avoid unnecessary trouble. 】
[Except that you and Ji Yunxiao are players and will retain all their memories, the memories of the rest will be changed, including Bai Xixing, the show team and those fans. 】
[However, we won’t change a lot, we should try to be as close to reality as possible. As for what has been modified, you can find out by watching the program recorded by this variety show. 】
The system suddenly "hehe" laughed twice, as if it had some malicious intentions: [I also changed a part of the recorded program, you will have a very interesting identity. 】
Cheng Zhichu's heart skipped a beat: "I said, don't be fooled!"
【Don't worry, how could I be fooling around, it should be a good thing for you... 】
The system laughed so hard, Cheng Zhichu felt more and more uneasy, and quickly walked out of the villa and went to the villa opposite, because he remembered that Bai Xixing came out of this villa during the day, maybe he is still inside now.
After all, he doesn't have a mobile phone now, and the mobile phone is still in the recording studio, and it is very late now, the bus to pick up fans has already left, and the villa area is so big, he has no way to go back from here.
Fortunately, after he rang the doorbell, Bai Xixing was really in the villa and came over to open the door for him.
Seeing that Cheng Zhichu came out safely, Bai Xixing said with a smile.
"Junior Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you actually got rid of the ghosts in the villa." Having said this, Bai Xixing paused slightly, "I don't know if it would be a bit abrupt for me to ask, who is your teacher? Famous metaphysicians?"
Cheng Zhichu: "Ah... ah?"
Under the tutelage of famous metaphysicians? what famous? —Come on, he knows. Could it be that the system did something strange to Senior Bai’s memory? !
【Hey hey hey... 】
The system let out a cheap laugh, the meaning of which is self-evident.
This dog thing, I will find you later to settle the account!
Cheng Zhichu's face changed a few times, and there was nothing he could do, so he had to prevaricate Bai Xixing, saying that he didn't have any mentors, and it was just a fluke.
Bai Xixing thought it was inconvenient for him to say, so he thoughtfully didn't ask any more. He looked down at the time on his mobile phone and said, "It's very late, or you can stay here for one night, and I'll drive you back tomorrow morning."
"How can this work!" Cheng Zhichu shook his head and said flattered, "This is too troublesome for seniors."
"It's not troublesome at all, everything here is spare, it's very convenient, and it's in the wilderness, I won't send you, how do you go back?"
Bai Xixing said with a smile: "Besides, I should thank you for helping me get rid of the ghost in the villa, otherwise I might die in it someday, just entertain you for one night, it's nothing."
"Then... I'll disturb the senior, I'm really sorry... "
Seeing that Bai Xixing was so considerate, and considering his own situation, Cheng Zhichu really couldn't go back. He could only wait for Bai Xixing to send him back to the city tomorrow and get back his mobile phone before going home.
"Ah, yes, senior's cell phone is still with me, thank you senior."
Cheng Zhichu handed the mobile phone in his pocket to Bai Xixing. Before, he wanted to communicate with ghosts through mobile phone information, so he borrowed Bai Xixing's mobile phone, and now it belongs to the original owner.
"You don't need to say thank you to me." Bai Xixing smiled slightly, raised his cell phone and said, "Let's go first, after you go in, you should call someone else and say that you won't be going back tonight."
"Ah... Yes, I have to call my home." Cheng Zhichu scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed, he almost forgot about it.
"Come on, let's go in, I've been standing at the door for a long time."
Bai Xixing curled his lips and greeted Cheng Zhichu to enter the house. At this moment, the two suddenly heard a burst of laughter from a villa in the distance. It was a group of drunken young people who came out with each other's arms. , I don't know where to go so late.
"Senior, what is that?" Cheng Zhichu asked casually.
"It should be some kind of party." Bai Xixing shrugged, explaining, "Some people just like to play."
Cheng Zhichu nodded, no longer curious, and finally glanced over there casually, but when he saw a certain figure, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he hurriedly went to the villa.
"... Cheng Cheng?"
And at this moment, the man happened to see Cheng Zhichu under the street light, his hand that loosened his tie suddenly stopped, and he quickly walked over here, his magnetic voice was a little anxious, and shouted: "Cheng Cheng !"
Damn, why did he meet Gu Zhen here!
"Senior, take me in quickly!!"
Cheng Zhichu tugged at the hem of Bai Xixing's clothes with a pale face, begging him like this. Bai Xixing looked at the person who came, raised his eyebrows, did not immediately lead Cheng Zhichu into the room, but stood in front of him without a trace.
Bai Xixing said to the handsome man with a half-smile but not a smile, "Young master of the Gu family, do you have something to do with Zhichu?"
Why did the senior suddenly call his name
Cheng Zhichu was stunned for a moment, the thought flashed through his mind for a moment, but he didn't think about it much, he just hid behind Bai Xixing, turned his back, and tried to avoid any eye contact with the person coming.
"Sorry, Mr. Bai, please make way."
Gu Zhen's words were polite, but his eyes on Bai Xixing were cold.
"Cheng Cheng is my lover. I have something to tell him alone, so I won't bother Mr. Laobai."

Unexplainably uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because I haven't seen Zhichu for too long.

Bai Xixing's Diary · Excerpt
Although I have been following Cheng Zhichu's affairs, I didn't send someone to follow him around the clock, so I didn't know everything about him.
Like... eh? When was the cousin green
Although in fact he is not even qualified to be green.
