Arc 3: Humanoid Village
Chapter 60

Xu Ziyue didn’t dare yell fearing that he could attract something dirty.

Just as Xu Ziyue was about to go and check the other end of the first floor, he felt the doll in his arms move again. It had moved slightly earlier and Xu Ziyue saw that disgusting corpse so since it had moved again this time…….Xu Ziyue stopped and slowly stepped back.

He had yet reached a decision over what he should do when he saw Jin’er walk out from the dark corridor.

As soon as Xu Ziyue saw Jin’er, his body stiffened a little. He then saw a few people walking behind Jin’er with somewhat strange looks.

It was Yan Shi and the others.

“What happened?” Xu Ziyue asked with a dry throat.

“Got lost. Accidentally walked into Jin’er’s study.” Yan Shi was afraid that Xu Ziyue would act outside of his expectations so he stopped Xu Ziyue from asking further.

Afterall, they had their reasons for leaving Xu Ziyue behind and it wouldn’t be surprising if he held a grudge about it.

But they definitely couldn’t risk their lives and let someone as “hazardous” as Xu Ziyue follow them around.

The reason for this was quite simple. It was very understandable from their perspective. But Yan Shi couldn’t help but worry further; Was Xu Ziyue someone with a compassionate side? Does he still retain normal human thinking or is he completely under the doll’s control? Or perhaps his personality had become warped after clearing through several games and is not as simple as he appears? They didn’t know anything.

But the other players were at least behaving normally, like that of normal players. Only Xu Ziyue had too many unpredictable factors.

Xu Ziyue wasn’t as complicated as Yan Shi believed him to be. The only thought in his mind at his moment was that Jin’er was dangerous.

Xu Ziyue had seen the corpse’s clothes. It was the elder who had led them to the hotel.

Xu Ziyue remembered the elder saying that Jin’er was her granddaughter but if she really was her granddaughter, she definitely wouldn’t be acting so normally after a relative had died. From the looks of the corpse, the elder definitely died more than just one or two days ago. A human body wouldn’t reach that state so quickly….

Xu Ziyue thought about the events the past few days more carefully and felt that there were quite a lot of suspicious areas. Did he see wrongly earlier? Was it just an illusion?

Under the watch of Jin’er’s lifeless eyes, Xu Ziyue uncomfortably lowered his head and looked at the doll in his arms, “I was just going to look for you guys, but I couldn’t find you……” Xu Ziyue wasn’t in a hurry to ask about their strange expressions and Jin’er’s studio.

“What are you looking for us for?” Tang Yunyun directly asked the question everyone had.

Xu Ziyue couldn’t answer. He wasn’t sure if he could or should talk about something like that in front of Jin’er……….Afterall, there was still a need to discuss it first.

Yan Shi took in Xu Ziyue’s expression and could tell that it was something that was inconvenient to be talked about here so he gave Tang Yunyun a look of warning and smoothly stepped forward to hook his arm around Xu Ziyue’s neck, “We can talk about it upstairs. That’s right, let’s play a game later…..”

Yan Shi took a step towards the direction of the stairs, but he wasn’t able to take the next step. Xu Ziyue next to him wasn’t moving.

He turned around to look at Xu Ziyue only to see that his collar had been pulled back……

Both Xu Ziyue and Yan Shi looked back. Standing extremely close to them was Jin’er.

Jin’er’s lips slowly rose and a sweet smile formed on her face, “What are you going to talk about? Can you tell Jin’er too?”

Xu Ziyue really wanted to immediately refuse her with a “No!”.

But firstly, he didn’t dare do it and secondly, he couldn’t do it….He had always been weak to requests made by good-looking people. But with this current situation, he could overcome it. After seeing the doll’s face, Xi Ziyue had developed slight resistance to those like Jin’er.

It was on par to losing interest to tasteless local “delicacies” after having had a taste of exotic delicacies. Its impact was no longer as strong as how it was initially.

Of course, Xu Ziyue had not “eaten” the exotic delicacy yet.

At most, he looked, touched and “licked”……You should know that he wouldn’t remove its clothes without taking advantage of it.

Tang Yunyun and the others were still standing behind Jin’er. This tense atmosphere made them anxious and they quickly stepped forward to try and ease the situation.

Hu Beijia walked up and gently patted Jin’ers shoulder. There was a trace of nervousness in her eyes, but her courage was incomparable to the others.

She deliberately said in a teasing tone, “Jin’er, if you pull Xu Ziyue’s clothes just a little more, half his waist will be exposed.”

Xu Ziyue was wearing a loose shirt. With Jin’er pulling it, cool air had rushed in from the back and a small part of his waist was exposed.

Before Xu Ziyue was able to say anything, the doll in his arms moved again.

The force behind him also loosened.

Jin’er had let go and stepped back.

Her lifeless eyes looked at Xu Ziyue strangely for a while. It made Xu Ziyue feel a little uncomfortable. But what was even stranger was that she eventually didn’t say anything and walked past Xu Ziyue, heading in the direction of the room with the corpse.

Xu Ziyue opened his mouth but didn’t shout.

Yan Shi let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Lu Xiuyang and the others and waved his hands to signal to everyone to go upstairs for a “meeting”.

Back at the bedroom —– Yan Shi’s bedroom, Yan Shi took the initiative to tell Xu Ziyue the discoveries they made during their “exploration”.

Yan Shi and the others had discovered a studio on the other end of the first floor. Inside the studio were various dolls; some were complete, some not yet and there were also some that were only individual body parts as well as some that had been destroyed by a hammer.

How the dolls were treated, and the owners likes and dislikes were clear.

The studio also had tools for sewing and there were many doll clothes.

Yan Shi and the others found a small piece of doll clothing on top of all the doll clothes. The pattern and style……was exactly the same was Lu Xiuyang’s clothes.

Only now did Xu Ziyue look at Lu Xiuyang. Unsurprisingly, Lu Xiuyang’s eyes were filled with irritability and anxiousness.

“Brother Yan, why are you telling him this? He didn’t take any risks and is just waiting here for our discoveries.” Tang Yunyun looked at Xu Ziyue with disdain.

Yan Shi glanced weakly at Tang Yunyun with a look that said “you are out of the group”.

Xu Ziyue was also wondering why Yan Shi was so willing to tell him these things. Afterall, from their perspective he probably seemed like someone who was just sitting around doing nothing.

Yan Shi didn’t hide anything. He directly told him the reason, “We were caught by Jin’er in the studio. The door to the studio was locked.”

“…..Then how did you get in?”

“Unlocked it.” Lu Xiuyang continued with a bad expression, “I unlocked it.”

 And after unlocking it, he saw doll clothes that resembled the clothes he wore. Anyone who was met with this situation would uncontrollably associate it with some horrible thoughts.

For example; Are dolls of them going to be made? Will they die once they’re done? Or would they be turned into dolls, the kind that can’t move or talk………That would be more tormenting than becoming vegetative……

“You probably noticed the atmosphere just now. I guessed that Jin’er probably was planning on doing something to us……..But she then changed her mind.” Yan Shi looked at Xu Ziyue with an assessing gaze, “What did you do?”

Jin’er’s sudden change was something anyone could tell.

Xu Ziyue’s finger moved. That finger just happened to be on the thigh of the puppet in his hands…Xu Ziyue had once again subconsciously felt the doll up.

Jin’er change in attitude was because the doll had moved.

But he wouldn’t tell Yan Shi and the others about this.

What if they wanted to rob him of the doll?

And so, Xu Ziyue just shook his head, pretending not to know. In exchange for Yan Shi’s information, Xu Ziyue told them about his discovery.

The elder that they had met at the beginning was dead.

Xu Ziyue gave them a rough description of the elder’s appearance, “I’m not sue if the elder is still there…….Remember how Jin’er left earlier? The direction she went was where I found the body.”

Guan Chengze touched his chin, “From your description, it sounds like she was likely dead for more than a day?”

Xu Ziyue shook his head. If he could, he really didn’t want to recall that scene, “I don’t know.”

Hu Beijia was silent for a long time. She suddenly spoke up, “Could she have already been dead when she came to pick us up?”

Tang Yunyun trembled with fear. Guan Chengze rubbed his arms but said with a smile, “We shouldn’t think too deeply about this or it’ll be too creepy.”

Xu Ziyue didn’t know whether Guan Chengze was truly afraid, but he felt that Guan Chengze was a little different from the others.

“I just mentioned a possibility.” Hu Beijia recalled the elder’s attire at that time, “She was completely covered, wasn’t she? Even if she was decaying, we can’t see it. And when walking, there might still be maggots eating through the body? If the clothes weren’t wrapped around her so tightly, maybe those flesh eating things would fall out…..”

Tang Yunyun quickly covered Hu Beijia’s mouth and begged her with teary eyes, “I beg you, sister. I’ll call you big sister. Even ancestor is okay. Please. Stop talking…..”

It wasn’t just Tang Yunyun. No one present wanted to listen to Hu Beijia’s talk. Xu Ziyue who has rich imagination and had personally seen it felt even more uncomfortable…..

He lightly rubbed the doll’s thighs and whispered, “Powerful women are unstoppable…….”

Yan Shi silently gave him a +1.
