Chapter 34 Ghostly Encounters
It's only because Yan Xun doesn't know Gui Yuchong's thoughts that he can sit comfortably on the sofa. If he did know, he would definitely be the first to run away.
Gui Yuchong arrived at 508, had Yan Xun sit on the sofa, and then went straight to the bedroom.
Yan Xun naturally knew what he was going to see, but could only pretend not to know.
A moment later, Gui Yuchong left the bedroom and returned to Yan Xun's side. He had now transformed back into the human form that Yan Xun remembered, quiet and still.
He just sat next to Yan Xun, seemingly lost in thought.
"Didn't you find any clues in 508?" Gui Yuchong asked.
He knew perfectly well what Yan Xun and the others had discovered, yet he still probed them like this.
Yan Xun continued to pretend he couldn't see anything, but upon hearing Gui Yuchong's words, he immediately frowned, "...You suspect I'm hiding clues?"
Gui Yuchong seemed to have already guessed that Yan Xun would turn the tables on him like this. He remained calm and feigned a pitiful tone, saying, "I just wanted to help too."
"Maybe there's some clue you've forgotten."
“Otherwise, why would we have ended up in 508 in the first place?” Gui Yuchong repeated Yan Xun’s analysis. “There must be some clues we haven’t discovered.”
Yan Xun was actually a little confused about what Gui Yuchong was thinking.
He could tell that the other party already knew that his identity had been exposed. It seemed that as long as they didn't expose him, Gui Yuchong could continue to play along with them. However, he repeatedly tried to overturn the table, making it impossible for the play to continue.
Yan Xun wasn't powerful enough to read the minds of these non-human beings, so he could only frantically tap the system in his mind, indicating that he was going to use up the opportunity to extract abilities.
The system immediately served up the large spinning wheel.
"Host!" the system said to Yan Xun, "Just turn it on and call 'stop.'"
Yan Xun really didn't expect that acquiring his special ability would be so easy. He felt more and more like he was on a pirate ship—and there was no way to get off for the time being.
"I'm unlucky," Yan Xun said to the system in his mind, and then spun the wheel.
The giant spinning wheel, resembling one in an arcade, spun rapidly in Yan Xun's mind. Skills were divided into different levels, with higher-level skills occupying a smaller proportion of the wheel... Yan Xun watched as the wheel spun and spun until it suddenly stopped on the purple pattern representing S-level abilities.
Yan Xun: "!!!"
Could it be that his luck has really turned around?!
The orb of light, representing S-level ability, slowly flew out from the turntable and merged into his body.
But the moment Yan Xun saw the skill name, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died—
[Skill: If you knew who my husband is, you'd think I'm lucky too (Rank S-)]
What?! You don't even know who my husband is?! Hmph, if you knew who my husband is, you'd be terrified! When you see him, you'll definitely think I'm lucky!
[Please note! This ability does not provide husbands; players must find them themselves! The actual effectiveness of this skill ranges from D- to S+++ depending on the level of the husband found!]
To capture your husband, simply ask, "Would you like to be my husband?" The system will automatically roll the dice, determining whether you can successfully capture him based on your affection level and the level of both parties.
Yan Xun: "..."
“If you have a problem with me, you can just say it directly,” he told the system. “There’s no need to beat around the bush and cause me trouble.”
The thought of shouting "Will you be my husband?" at something that was neither human nor ghost made Yan Xun think he might as well just die right now.
The system was also shocked!
It never expected that Yan Xun would be able to draw such an obscure skill with a probability as low as 0.0001%.
[Host!] The system was genuinely afraid that Yan Xun would abandon his responsibilities, so it hurriedly advised him, [This skill is a rare, growth-type skill!]
[If you successfully capture an SSS+ level monster, your entire skill level will increase.]
Of course, even if an average person gets killed to the point of quitting the game, they won't encounter that SSS+ level monster. The system thought to itself, but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Yan Xun glanced at the system and couldn't help but complain, "Do you think I'm some kind of dream master?"
"What about using that phrase as a Poké Ball?"
"Should I also receive an illustration?"
Yan Xun thought this to himself, but when he saw Gui Yuchong, he still felt a little itchy and prepared to try out this skill.
But another voice in his heart told him that if he used this skill on Gui Yuchong now, he would most likely die and it would definitely trigger a bad ending.
"What time is it now?" Yan Xun asked.
Although Gui Yuchong did not look at the wall clock, he still gave an exact time.
Yan Xun was actually quite tired. He guessed that the person in room 504 was unconscious, mostly because of Gui Yuchong, and that was why he had woken up.
He closed his eyes. "I'm a little sleepy," he told Gui Yuchong, giving himself a good excuse to close his eyes.
But Gui Yuchong wasn't about to let him off the hook. "Don't you need to think of another way to fix your eyes?"
"Maybe it's just night blindness," Yan Xun said casually. "Everything will be alright when it gets light..."
Gui Yuchong was somewhat disappointed, but he obediently sat down next to him and showed no intention of flipping the table again. He rested his head on Yan Xun's shoulder and looked at the small living room.
The layout of all the buildings in the Meimei Building is pretty much the same.
Gui Yuchong saw the empty wardrobe and knew that someone had hidden that Gui Yuchong.
Perhaps it was Yan Xun, perhaps it was Li Wu.
He hoped it wasn't Yan Xun, because he would be jealous.
He didn't turn on the light, and the room was plunged into darkness again... This time, there wouldn't be any "unicorn" that devours the darkness; only Yan Xun and he were sitting on the sofa.
He thought how wonderful it would be if Yan Xun could stay here.
Even if it's not here, anywhere else will do.
A series of sweet thoughts flooded Gui Yuchong's mind. He wanted Yan Xun to live forever, but he was also worried that Yan Xun would hate this decision.
So he did nothing but sit quietly beside Yan Xun, like a domesticated monster.
……
When Yan Xun woke up again, it was already 7 a.m. He glanced at Gui Yuchong, who was sleeping on the sofa.
The other person was fast asleep, and Yan Xun guessed that it was probably an act, but he still patted Gui Yuchong on the shoulder and said, "Wake up."
It's 7 a.m.
Yan Xun took out his phone and found that it was already out of battery and turned off.
Their room was clearly not 504. Although he knew exactly what was going on, he still wore a bewildered expression.
"How did we end up in 508?!"
Gui Yuchong also showed a puzzled expression at the right time, as if he wasn't the one who brought Yan Xun to 508 in the early morning.
Indeed, Yan Xun thought, Gui Yuchong was not human to begin with.
He feigned a sudden realization; if this were an animation, a little lightbulb would probably be flashing above his head by now.
"I see."
"We've been trapped in a maze!"
