Strange story player

"Okay, you two, it's getting dark."

The old Taoist said no more. There was not much emotion in his eyes. He just glanced at the remains placed in the mourning hall, and his emotions were inexplicable.

"Just wait for it to come."

"Wait, let me make a call!"

Qin Manjiang said.

————

Fucheng.

Zhong Xueran rubbed his eyes. It was dark and starry outside, and the cold wind was blowing, which made people very uncomfortable.

The wind blew her long hair around her temples. She lowered her head and looked at the Sanqing Bell in her hand. Zhong Xueran was a little distracted for a moment.

Some time ago, her eyes suddenly changed, and the colors of some things she saw were no longer their original colors. But after a while, her eyes returned to normal.

It wasn't until she asked other players that she found out one thing...

It turns out that the world in everyone's eyes is undergoing a process of distortion, and the degree of distortion gradually increases as the number of spiritual pupils increases.

Qin Manjiang once said that the world in Yang's eyes has collapsed beyond recognition.

But that is not the norm. Most of the time, the world in their eyes is normal, but... every morning, the moment they open their eyes, it must be abnormal.

tomorrow……

Zhong Xueran hugged his legs, rested his chin on his knees, and tilted his head to look at the dark night sky with only a few stars.

She is always enthusiastic and energetic in front of others, and it seems that just like her name, she is a person who can light up the snow.

But in private, Zhong Xueran almost said nothing.

She is going to the area where [Wedding Dress] is tomorrow. She has been feeling increasingly uneasy lately.

This uneasiness comes from the changes in the world in front of me, and it also comes from some premonition deep in my heart.

At this moment...her cell phone rang.

Zhong Xueran was stunned. Who would call him at this time?

However, when she picked up the phone and looked at it, she frowned.

Xu Yi...

She didn't really want to answer his call. That guy, despite his few words, seemed unhappy. He was really a guy with a bad personality.

But what if he has something serious to do?

Thinking of this, Zhong Xueran still answered the phone.

"Hi." Her tone was cold, as if she didn't want to talk more.

"Are you in the refrigerator?" Xu Yi's voice was full of doubts.

"Ah? What do you mean..." Zhong Xueran was stunned.

"Then why are you talking so coldly?"

"Die you!"

"Haha..." Xu Yi was happy after being scolded.

"If you have something to say, tell me quickly or I'll hang up the phone!" Zhong Xueran said angrily.

Xu Yi quickly stopped and said, "Don't! I was entrusted by someone to ask you. They can't talk on the phone for a long time now, so they entrusted this matter to me."

"Who?" Zhong Xueran was even more confused.

"Qin Manjiang and Mei Sijun, by the way, these two people and Miss Qiao will take leave tomorrow and may not be able to come back." Xu Yi said.

Qin Manjiang and Mei Sijun asked Xu Yi to ask me something?

Zhong Xueran was a little angry.

So those two people expected that the answers to the questions to be asked would be very long, so long that they would have no time to chat?

"What's the matter? Just ask."

Hearing Zhong Xueran's even colder voice, Xu Yi on the other end of the phone scratched his face and paused for a moment.

"Can you have a better attitude?" he said.

"Is there something wrong with your attitude? You keep targeting me!" Zhong Xueran couldn't help it, "You always tease me. You ridicule me every time you say something. And you still say there's something wrong with my attitude?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu opened his mouth without explaining.

After a long while, he said: "Hey, I entered the ghost story game after you, remember?"

"Who remembers such a thing!"

"I remember," Xu Yi leaned against the window and looked up at the dark night sky. "At that time, I had just passed the novice level and was at a loss about everything. Then, in my first multi-player ghost story, , I met someone..."

Zhong Xueran's hand holding the phone quietly tightened, and her memories were slowly awakened by Xu Yi's narration.

"She is full of enthusiasm and energy. She seems not to be afraid of ghosts or curses at all. She dares to take risks and uses the disposable props she exchanged to help others."

"I was also helped by her..." Xu Yi's face showed a smile subconsciously, "At that time, I huddled behind a tree, my mind went blank, and ghosts were looking for me in the forest."

"I was about to find me when suddenly, a woman with a loud voice jumped out, shouted at the ghost, and then ran away."

"I'm almost scared to death. How could there be such a person in the world?"

Zhong Xueran also remembered...it was a strange story called [Corpse Transformation], where corpses are hidden in the forest and the corpses mutate. To her, it was just one of many strange stories, but to Xu Yi, it was the first time he met other people when he entered this world.

However, she couldn't figure it out. Since he still remembered that she helped him, why did he always go against me later?

"What on earth do you want to say?" Zhong Xueran became angrier as she thought about it. She really didn't understand what Xu Yi was going to do.

Xu Yi was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he said slowly: "Are you tired?"

Zhong Xueran was startled, and when he was about to threaten to hang up the phone, his words got stuck in his throat.

"I saw... you hiding behind a tree and crying."

His voice was obviously very soft, but it was like a huge stone slamming into Zhong Xueran's dead heart.

"You don't have to pretend to be strong or energetic. You don't have to be like Yang and always think about everyone. You can be weak and cry..."

"You gave your energy to others and didn't keep it for yourself... Zhong Xueran, I know you want to die."

Xu Yi said.

"You don't have to rush to deny it. It's not just me, almost everyone can see it. You are constantly burning yourself to show your value."

"So you are getting closer to Yang, learn from Yang's methods, and want to get the meaning of your existence from the eyes of others like him."

"But let me tell you, your behavior makes no sense at all!"

Zhong Xueran did want to refute, but she had never heard Xu Yi speak like this.

He has never been so serious in front of her...

"Whether it's Chen Zhiyuan or you, neither of you can be Yang."

"You don't have that kind of personality, why do you pretend to be free and enthusiastic?"

His voice softened, and Zhong Xueran remained silent, without replying.

Xu Yi didn't know if she was still listening, but he felt that it was time to speak.

Someone needs to say these words to her, otherwise in her state, she will definitely die from the strange story that follows.

She has no desire to live at all, she is just playing "passion".

Therefore, he has always been keen on stimulating her on various occasions and contradicting her everywhere.

Xu Yi didn't know what she had gone through. She had never told anyone about her past and experiences.

But that time... he saw Zhong Xueran hiding behind a tree and crying.

he knows……

She is just a piece of snow and will not burn.
