Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

"You haven't answered me yet. How did you find me?" Zhang Chunliang suddenly asked.

"I smell your scent, Liangliang." Mad Dog laughed heartily, "Have you forgotten that I can turn into a dog?"

Zhang Chunliang suddenly laughed, and his thin shoulders trembled with laughter.

He wiped the tears from the corners of Mad Dog's confused eyes, smiled and patted his shoulder: "How could I forget you, puppy."

Mad Dog looked at him with some confusion at his nervous appearance. He thought for a moment and asked with some concern: "Liangliang, you look a little tired. Do you need to take a rest? I can tell you what happened after I entered the dungeon."

Zhang Chunliang sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at him with a strange smile, and said gently: "Come on, I just want to know."

Mad Dog felt a strange and awkward feeling in his heart, but he didn't know what went wrong. He calmed himself down and patiently recounted what happened after he came in.

"You, I and the other three players have been separated. The system told me that in order for me to complete a mission, I have to rescue a little girl. She is my sister in the game." Mad Dog spoke in an orderly manner and explained the details clearly.

"I was also in a team heading to Shuangshi Village. Food and water were in short supply, but luckily I was in good physical condition and managed to get some supplies."

Mad Dog took out a cloth bag from his clothes, which contained a few pieces of peach cakes and half a bottle of clean water.

"Liangliang, are you hungry? These are all for you." He pushed the sweet peach cakes in front of Zhang Chunliang.

The sweet aroma of oil went straight into Zhang Chunliang's nose. He did not refuse. He wrapped the peach cake and put it into his tattered little bag.

After doing all this, he suddenly sighed, with a hint of regret and sorrow in his tone.

"…What's wrong, Liangliang?" Mad Dog asked hesitantly, "Is there any problem with the mission?"

"Nothing, I just think you've become so obedient and reliable now, so obedient that I can hardly recognize you." Zhang Chunliang concluded, "I wish you could stay like this forever."

Mad Dog didn't know how to answer and just smiled awkwardly.

"You came here with me, so what about your mission to clear the level?" Zhang Chunliang asked casually.

"I've asked around. My sister who I met through the mission is now in Shuangshi Village. We can go together." Mad Dog suggested, "I think the people in those migrating groups are a little weird. Let's try to keep a distance from them. Liangliang, I will take good care of you."

"I need to go back and verify some things. We'll leave tonight after everyone has rested." Zhang Chunliang stood up and casually brushed off the dust on his body.

Mad Dog naturally had no objection, and the two of them soon set off.

It was the hottest time of the day at noon, and the ground was scorching hot. The soles of Zhang Chunliang's shoes were almost melted by the heat, and his feet felt sticky when he walked.

After eating the sunflower king fruit, his strength was restored a lot, but the water in his body continued to be released in the high temperature, and he soon began to feel dry mouth again.

On the other hand, Mad Dog was in high spirits, looking for the team's location seriously.

From time to time, he would reveal an expression of helplessness and confusion, as if he had no idea where the team was going.

The two walked for a very long time. With their speed, they should be able to catch up with the migrating group soon. However, they only found traces of wheel tracks and some footprints along the way, but did not see a single person.

"It seems we can't catch up." Mad Dog said regretfully, "Let's go, Liangliang, I know a shortcut that can get us to Shuangshi Village faster. I heard from them that the rooms and supplies in Shuangshi Village are also very tight. The sooner we go there, the more good things we can find."

Zhang Chunliang looked at him from the side for a while, and suddenly said, "We should be very close to them. I think I can hear their voices. The team is resting and someone is arguing."

The mad dog's eyes suddenly changed, and he looked around at Zhang Chunliang in an inquiring manner.

"Really?" He forced a smile. "Then let's go over and take a look..."

The two men went around a barren loess mountain and ran into a huge group of people fleeing famine.

Zhang Chunliang smiled, nodded, and said as if talking to himself: "It is indeed the case."

"Liangliang..." Mad Dog's eyes looked a little strange. He looked at Zhang Chunliang and suddenly asked, "Are you still leaving tonight?"

"Of course we have to go." Zhang Chunliang patted his shoulder in a good mood, "We will meet at this location at 12 o'clock midnight."

He ignored the mad dog's reaction and limped into the stinking team.

His perception was correct, there was a quarrel in the team.

"My son, my son is missing!!" The speaker was an elderly lady with hunched shoulders and gray hair, but she was in good spirits. It seemed that she did not suffer much on the road and was well taken care of.

"Silly old woman, what son?" The team leader impatiently shook off the old lady's dry and wrinkled hand, "You have always been alone, your brain has gone crazy."

No one doubted how an elderly person could survive in such a terrible environment. They all mocked the old lady for her wild ideas and tried to add some spice to their desperate lives.

"Where have you been?" Someone looked at Zhang Chunliang and asked in surprise, "Why did you fall behind?"

"Did you forget?" Zhang Chunliang looked at him sincerely, "I just had a stomachache and went to the toilet."

The person asking the question looked dazed for a moment, then nodded: "I remember... you went to the bathroom."

Zhang Chunliang sat next to him and asked casually, "I feel like there are a lot of people missing from the team. Do you remember where they went?"

"Are there fewer people in the team?" the man asked. He looked at Zhang Chunliang with a straight look in his eyes. "Yes, it seems that there are fewer people. When our team first left, there were tens of thousands of people... Where did all those people go?"

Zhang Chunliang pressed his rapidly beating heart and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"So that's how it is. I understand." He stood up suddenly and went to chat with another person.

These people answered every question and, guided by Zhang Chunliang, "recalled" many things that did not exist at all.

Those were lies fabricated by Zhang Chunliang, but they seemed to completely believe that they really happened.

"Why have you become a different person? You can chat with anyone." The long-haired old man suddenly appeared beside Zhang Chunliang and muttered suspiciously.

"Would you like some peach pastry? It's freshly baked." Zhang Chunliang took out the peach pastry that Mad Dog had given him and stuffed it into the old man's arms.

"What is this? It smells familiar and nice." The old man's eyes sparkled with gold and he took a deep breath.

"Eat it, no problem." Zhang Chunliang said casually. He took out the half bottle of water that Mad Dog had just given him and drank it with his head tilted back.

——There is no problem, this is a bottle of sweet and nourishing water.

But if Zhang Chunliang "believes" that the bottle of water was poisoned by the fake mad dog, then the bottle of water will immediately turn into intestinal poison.

He finally figured out what was going on with all the terrible things he had been experiencing in the past few days——

The dangers he encountered were real, the people who fled were real, and his thoughts were real.

But the prerequisite is that Zhang Chunliang "believes" that these things really exist.

Before every danger, he always wondered what terrible things would happen.

Whenever such thoughts appeared in his mind, the monsters would appear.

In the weeds, he felt something was spying on him in the grass, so the grass roots he picked turned into ugly insect eggs.

In the deserted village, he thought there was something strange about the village, so people with bad intentions and the nine-headed evil Buddha appeared.

He longed for water, but thought it was impossible to find water so easily, so the two bottles of well water he had fetched with great difficulty turned into dirt, rocks and mud.

In the botanical garden, he suspected that the sunflowers, which were taller than humans, had bad intentions, so they revealed their ferocious faces and began to kill humans.

And when he escapes from these disasters, he will subconsciously think that he is out of danger.

Then, these bizarre scenes disappeared before his eyes as if they had never appeared.

He didn't know when this ability to "make fantasy come true" appeared, but he knew why he became so suspicious.

Zhang Chunliang called up the system panel and looked at the "Side Mission 1" at the bottom of the task list - reach Shuangshi Village alive.

It was because of this side quest that he subconsciously believed that this journey must be full of dangers, so he was cautious everywhere and thought of everything he encountered in the worst possible way.

So he began to run into obstacles everywhere, all the crises he imagined became reality, and he almost lost his life.

Zhang Chunliang finally couldn't help but curse softly.

Why he suddenly figured it all out was all thanks to that poorly acted "mad dog".

His big golden retriever likes to call him "Dad" the most. They have made three rules that when no one is around, the big dog can call Zhang Chunliang Dad as much as he wants.

In such a deserted situation, the big dog would not miss this good opportunity.

Therefore, as early as when this impostor appeared in front of him and politely called him "Liang Liang", he knew that he had fallen into another "illusion".

The fake knew that Duoduo would call him Liangliang, which must be because it had only seen Zhang Chunliang and Mad Dog getting along in formal occasions - obviously, it obtained some information from the outside world through the two corrupted players and knew some details about Zhang Chunliang and others.

It thought that Zhang Chunliang and Duoduo were just very close friends, so its acting was laughably poor.

However, it was precisely because of its sudden appearance that Zhang Chunliang came up with an absurd guess - the thing he hoped would appear in his heart would appear beside him in a twisted and evil way.

These things must be logical and already exist, and the copy will "move" those things in front of him according to his ideas.

The red spider eggs, the nine-headed evil Buddha, and the sunflower human face are all things that already exist in this world, but they just complied with Zhang Chunliang's "expectations" and appeared beside him at the right time.

He even suspected that in order to make him believe in the appearance of these things, the copy deliberately gave him some hints along the way, perhaps it was the eyes that suddenly appeared in the potholes in the grass, the strange shade in the deserted village, or perhaps it was the occasional words of the refugees... In order to verify his ideas, he experimented with one refugee after another.

He forced himself to believe in his heart that certain speculations were real and made up stories for these people.

The refugees were hesitant at first, but became convinced in the end.

This ability to "make dreams come true" is so incredible that it is comparable to that of the Creator.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Zhang Chunliang can convince himself that something is true, it will definitely happen.

"I believe that Game House will explode soon." Zhang Chunliang complained casually.

The next second, there was a loud bang in his head and his entire skull made a shattering sound.

Blood began to ooze out of his eyes, mouth, nose and ears, and horrible bloody cracks appeared on his skinny body.

He fell to the ground due to the severe headache, and his flesh made a sound like tearing cloth.

He seemed to hear countless screams and wails, and the unspeakable pain almost made him collapse.

"No, no, nothing happened - I didn't say anything!" Zhang Chunliang said with his last bit of strength.

The next moment, he stood there intact, as if nothing had happened, but his soul was still trembling with the horrible pain.

He was still in shock, and before he had time to process his own suicidal behavior, his entire head began to hurt violently.

This headache was much more severe and intense than the previous ones, as if countless things in his brain wanted to break through his skull and get out of his head.

Zhang Chunliang's face turned pale - he finally figured out why he had been suffering from headaches for some time.

Using this ability to make fantasy come true requires the support of mental strength in the mind.

When the things he imagined were insignificant, his headache symptoms would be mild, but once he imagined an unbearable scene, he would most likely almost explode and die, just like he did just now.

The power possessed in a single copy cannot determine the fate of a behemoth like Game House.

He had used too much mental energy without restraint during this period, so he suffered a strong backlash at this moment.

The old man, holding a peach cake in his mouth, nimbly caught his limp body and lifted him onto a cart nearby.

"We're almost at the village, why can't you hold on any longer?" The old man took out the peach cake covered with saliva from his mouth and tried to stuff it into his hand hesitantly.

"No, I'm fine..." Zhang Chunliang rejected his kindness with difficulty, "Let me rest for a while, I'm really... too tired."

Before he could finish his words, he fell into a deep, confused sleep.

Countless meaningless cries swirled in Zhang Chunliang's narrow head, and many strange images appeared in his dreams.

Heavy rain, extreme cold, scorching heat, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions... He seemed to have entered hell and suffered torture over and over again.

There was an indistinct figure standing in front of him, its body shape constantly twisting and changing. There was a huge abyss-like mouth where it should be, and it was saying something to Zhang Chunliang.

"I'm sorry... I wanted to use 'Genesis' to help you... I didn't expect that he would lure out those monsters to deal with you..."

"I, I almost killed you...Are you okay..."

"The power of 'Genesis' is too strong. From now on, I will try my best to curb its influence on you... Please make sure to stay alive..."

"I beg you."
