Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

Zhang Chunliang didn't sleep all night. He sat on the roof of Lao K's car and looked into the distance quietly.

This was the first time Shen Xingyi left without saying goodbye. No, it should be said... he disappeared.

He felt that he should be frightened, worried, and even sad, but strangely, he was very calm now, his heart was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.

Old K's comforting voice had disappeared at some point. It wasn't that it didn't want to stay with Zhang Chunliang, but the vague sense of terrifying oppression from Zhang Chunliang forced it into a deep sleep.

There was a faint blue fluorescence in Zhang Chunliang's eyes and his expression was indifferent, which made him look neither sad nor happy, and had a strange mechanical feeling.

If he could see his own eyes, he might be a little surprised, because at this moment his eyeballs looked like a miniature version of the surveillance eyes of a game house.

Even the strange characters flowing inside are exactly the same.

The heat in the air was getting more and more terrifying. Even though it was still dark, the temperature had already soared to over 50 degrees. Zhang Chunliang's entire body was covered with itchy dandruff, his internal organs were burning, and he looked listless and dry, as if all the water had been squeezed out of him.

But the person he was waiting for never showed up.

"Ouch——"

As the sky began to brighten, a familiar leopard roar suddenly came from behind Zhang Chunliang.

Xiao Xing?! He opened his eyes slightly, stood up suddenly and looked back.

However, when he saw the scene behind him clearly, his body froze in place.

——The towering mountains that were originally several kilometers away from them were now standing silently behind them.

The mountain shadow that blocked out the sun was backlit, tall and deep, with a hideous and strange outline, like a gloomy giant beast, spying on Zhang Chunliang and others with ill intentions.

Three hundred meters away, there is a village archway with three crooked characters "Shuangshi Village" engraved on it. It looks simple and strange. Inside it is a dark and winding country road. Further into the country is a mountain road that goes up step by step. Through the dim light of the early morning, one can vaguely see the shadows of houses on the mountain.

The dark path as deep as the abyss was like a greedy and evil mouth, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

An uneasy chill slowly spread from the village.

"Am I fucking dreaming?" Qu Anran calmly got up from the ground and asked, "Or are we all sleepwalking?"

"It's it...it's coming to find us." Li Mufeng didn't get a good rest the whole night, and his face was extremely pale. He looked at Qu Anran steadily and muttered to himself, "What the hell is this thing?!"

"I now suspect that 'it' has held Boss Shen hostage." Qu Anran turned to look at Zhang Chunliang and asked, "Shall we go in?"

At this moment, a leopard roar came again from the depths of the mountain, as if asking Zhang Chunliang for help.

"Go in." Zhang Chunliang stretched his stiff wrists, stared at the mountains ahead, and said word by word, "I've had enough."

"What's wrong with Old K? It seems to be quiet today." Qu Anran patted the car door.

The usually docile and lively tentacles did not respond at all, and the RV was as silent as a dead object.

Li Mufeng and Qu Anran looked at each other and realized something was wrong.

They took turns knocking on Lao K's car door, making it bang loudly, but got no response.

Zhang Chunliang walked forward, touched the car door, and put Old K, who was clinging to the RV, back into his backpack.

"It fell asleep." Zhang Chunliang explained, "Maybe it's because it relies on Shen Xingyi's power to move. Now that Xiaoxing is missing, it can't appear anymore."

"Then when will it wake up?" Li Mufeng looked a little worried and felt extremely disappointed.

Old K means a lot to them. It is not only a means of transportation that helps them keep their luggage, but also their loyal partner. Most importantly, it is the most powerful fighting force in the team except for Shen Xingyi.

It is not easy for the three of them to survive in this place with their bodies restricted by the system.

Zhang Chunliang shook his head helplessly and turned to look at the mountains not far away.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but in just a short while, the mountain moved dozens of meters closer to them.

"Let's abandon the car. If we delay any longer, we might be 'invited' in." Qu Anran shrugged helplessly and turned to rummage through the luggage.

Although the RV could still be started, the gasoline in the car had been exhausted. The three people were forced to abandon most of their luggage and only take some food and water that were easy to carry.

"We don't know what will happen after we go in, so we can use this to keep in touch at any time." Qu Anran picked up two straw grasshoppers and handed one to each of them.

The straw grasshopper touched Zhang Chunliang's fingers and crawled down his arm into his hair.

Qu Anran made a phone call gesture and winked at Zhang Chunliang meaningfully.

The three of them were delayed for a while, and when they looked up again, "Shuangshi Village" was already within reach.

"I'm coming in, I'm coming in." Qu Anran impatiently threw his backpack on his back and cursed, "In order to develop tourism, this remote mountain village does not hesitate to force buying and selling, and willfully intercepts passing tourists. I will complain about your service attitude..."

He waved to Zhang Chunliang and Li Mufeng and was the first to step into the village entrance.

"Why don't you go in?" Zhang Chunliang looked at the pale Li Mufeng and asked doubtfully, "Do you have anything to say?"

Li Mufeng looked very bad since he woke up in the morning. He often looked at Qu Anran intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was observing something.

When Qu Anran's figure completely blended into the dim Shuangshi Village, Li Mufeng seemed to have made up his mind and leaned close to Zhang Chunliang's ear and said, "Be careful of Qu Anran, there is something wrong with him."

Zhang Chunliang paused slightly as he was about to take a step, then turned his head and looked at Li Mufeng with a smile. He patted his shoulder but said nothing.

He didn't tell Li Mufeng that just now, the little grasshopper that Qu Anran put in his hair transmitted the same content to him.

The grasshopper warned him solemnly in Qu Anran's voice: "Be careful of Li Mufeng."

Zhang Chunliang suddenly laughed.

That smile made Li Mufeng beside him a little uneasy. His throat rolled, and he stopped hesitantly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said? Your smile is so scary."

"It's okay, I just feel that this game is becoming more and more interesting." Zhang Chunliang didn't explain anything, but waved to him, signaling him to follow him.

Li Mufeng felt an inexplicable sense of danger. He looked around uneasily, shook off the goose bumps on his body, and caught up with Zhang Chunliang.

He looked at the young man walking leisurely in front of him and explained, "Actually, I didn't mean to sow discord between you... It's just that when I woke up this morning, I saw that Qu Anran had a lot of black energy on him. He looked like he might be in danger. My 'avoid disaster' reminded me that if I continue to stay with him... I will be in trouble..."

As Li Mufeng spoke, he stepped into the archway of Shuangshi Village.

The country road before him suddenly changed.

Zhang Chunliang's figure disappeared from in front of him, and the originally open countryside view in front of him was blocked by a thick and dull darkness.

It seemed that in an instant, he came from the country dirt road to a completely enclosed space.

The light here was very dim, and he could only see the general outline of the surroundings. He tried to touch the wall, which was uneven, hard and cold, and seemed to be some kind of stone wall. In addition, he also felt something wet and slippery.

"Zhang Chunliang?" Li Mufeng forced himself to calm down and looked around, "Qu Anran? Are you there?"

His voice echoed off the thick stone walls, ethereal and vague, but received no response.

"Don't scare me..." He swallowed hard and muttered softly, "I didn't mean to say bad things about you, Qu Anran? Are you there? Can I apologize?"

His panicked mind gradually came back to reality, and his dull consciousness recovered.

Perhaps because of his obstructed vision, his hearing and sense of smell became much sharper.

In this silent and empty environment, he heard an extremely subtle sound of water drops falling.

A sweet and fishy smell of blood gradually filled his nose.

The smell became stronger and clearer, as if it was right beside him.

Li Mufeng forced himself to calm down, took out a candle from his backpack and lit it.

Suddenly, the surrounding environment became clear and bright under the yellowish light.

As he expected, he was surrounded by strangely shaped rocks, like a wide cave formed naturally.

He held the candle and carefully shone it in the direction where the liquid was dripping.

The first thing that caught his eye was the sundries scattered on the ground. Those items looked very familiar to him. Just now, he had stuffed these things into Qu Anran's backpack with his own hands.

Li Mufeng's expression was blank for a moment. He seemed to realize something. His arms trembled as he raised the candle slightly.

Three meters away from him sat a fresh corpse.

The corpse's head was drooping, and there was a large dark hole at the heart, with blood oozing out of it. It looked like the person had only been dead for a few minutes.

Li Mufeng walked forward and slowly straightened the corpse's head.

Qu Anran's familiar face came into his sight. The boy's complexion looked slightly pale under the warm yellow light. His eyes were unfocused, and there seemed to be confusion in his pupils.

He seemed to have not yet reacted before he was hit fatally.

Li Mufeng put down his hand heavily and quickly extinguished the candle in his hand. He leaned his entire back against the stone wall and stared at the darkness in front of him with tense nerves.

In the huge cave, the only sound was his uncontrollable heavy breathing.

He finally understood what the black energy he saw on Qu Anran meant - it was a foreshadowing of impending death.

In the dark cave, blood continued to drip, making a regular "patter" sound. In this mechanical and boring sound, barely audible sobs gradually emerged.

……

Zhang Chunliang walked a hundred meters along the country road but did not see Qu Anran. He stopped and looked back, but there was no trace of Li Mufeng either.

They seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Zhang Chunliang was not surprised by such things.

He gently touched the little grasshopper hidden in his hair, but got no response.

I can't contact Qu Anran. Is the energy blocked? He pondered and continued to move forward.

His mind was still thinking about the hints given to him by Li Mufeng and Qu Anran.

Last night, there was nothing unusual about these two guys, but this morning they started to be wary of each other.

It seems that something unexpected happened when he was in a state of confusion last night.

Qu Anran was not the kind of guy who would be easily startled. He must have discovered something definite and abnormal before he gave him a hint.

Li Mufeng? Zhang Chunliang frowned slightly.

To be honest, there was nothing strange about him except that he was a little absent-minded this morning and always secretly went to see Qu Anran.

However, he seemed to have something to say to him just now, but before he could hear clearly, Li Mufeng disappeared.

Forget it, this guy has the ability to seek fortune and avoid misfortune, he will definitely do better than them.

Zhang Chunliang casually walked up the mountain steps and headed towards the houses in the distance.

He seemed to have smelled the scent of cooking smoke coming from above, a rare glimpse of human life, which seemed to be heralding that he had re-entered the civilized era.

Yes, the system has prompted that Shuangshi Village is one of the few villages that has not been affected by high temperatures, so it is natural that people here can carry out normal activities.

The premise is that they are really "people".

Zhang Chunliang had a headache. He had no help around him now, and even his props and tattoos had lost their effects. Once danger appeared, he would most likely "run wild" like the last time he met the sunflower man.

This situation has happened twice, but he still hasn't figured out what's happening to him.

Is this some kind of defense mechanism left for him by the Holy Father System?

He began to feel irritable, his breathing became rapid, and his heart beat very fast.

He stopped, subconsciously covered his heart, and took a deep breath.

He had been feeling extremely depressed recently, with heavy thoughts piling up in his heart that were difficult to relieve, and he often felt like going crazy and screaming.

——Since entering this copy, things have always gone wrong for him. Everything seems to be pushing him into a desperate situation. The people and things he once depended on for survival are leaving him.

Fortunately, the appearance of his boyfriend helped him relieve some of the pain in his heart and allowed him to spend a rare and pleasant time.

But, he disappeared.

Although Zhang Chunliang never thought about it carefully and dared not admit it, his reason told him that the reason why his boyfriend became so miserable was actually related to him.

Whether in the game house or in each small world.

He always seemed to bring pain to Shen Xingyi.

Zhang Chunliang, are you a star of misfortune? No one who meets you will have a good ending.

His eyes began to glow blue again involuntarily, and his whole body was motionless, like a frozen statue.

"Who is there?" A roar came from the top of the mountain, bringing him back to his senses instantly.

An old man in a tattered white vest was holding a hoe and standing on the mountain steps not far away, looking at him warily and suspiciously.

Zhang Chunliang blinked slowly, and after a long while he replied, "I am here to escape famine, to find my brother."

At the same time, the long-lost system sound of Game House rang in his mind.

[Side Quest 1: Reach Shuangshi Village alive (completed)

Now releasing the second branch task: Investigate the secrets of Shuangshi Village (limited to 15 days)]

For some reason, Zhang Chunliang actually heard a hint of joy in the hollow mechanical sound of the system.

It seemed to have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
