Arc 3: Humanoid Village
Chapter 74

Xu Ziyue angrily rolled his eyes at them and then returned to his room, slamming the door behind him and shutting the other three outside. Soon afterwards, the door opened slightly, and Yan Shi’s doll was thrown out.

The door to Xu Ziyue’s room was hit loudly by Yan Shi and the others and later, probably because their hands hurt, they switched to kicking.

Xu Ziyue sat angrily in the room ignoring them.

Soon, the sounds gradually stopped.

Yan Shi and the others cursed a few more times outside. They seemed to be convinced that Xu Ziyue knew of another means of clearing the game.

The doll sitting in Xu Ziyue’s arms grabbed Xu Ziyue’s shirt and stood up. He raised his hand, tiptoed while standing on Xu Ziyue’s thigh and used his tiny palm to gently stroke Xu Ziyue’s cheek.

Xu Ziyue lowered his head and rubbed his face against the doll’s palm with a sigh.

For the first time ever since he entered these game worlds, he felt extremely frustrated.

“It’s okay.” Xu Ziyue lowered the doll’s hand and then lowered his head to gently touch the dolls fingers with his lips, “But we might need to avoid them for the next few days.”

Yan Shi and the others probably won’t give up finding out about the other way to clear the game, so Xu Ziyue knew that he was in a dangerous predicament. Because he still retained a normal person’s way of thinking, he couldn’t guess how far they would be willing to go in order to clear the game.

Xu Ziyue fell into thought for a while and could only ask the doll for help, “Do you know if there’s another place here apart from the hotel that we can stay in?” In any case, it was too dangerous staying here together with Yan Shi and the others. His top priority was to create some distance between them.

Afterall, they have three people on their side…….and Xu Ziyue is alone.

Even with the addition of the doll……..since the doll was stolen once, Xu Ziyue didn’t intend to count him as an additional person.

Afterall, a person cannot be stolen. Was he going to say that Guan Chengze had stolen his person?

Xu Ziyue quickly put a stop to this ridiculous thought of his. The doll just happened to give Xu Ziyue an answer he was hoping for.

“Yes.”

And so, Xu Ziyue decided to move that very night!

By the time it was night, Xu Ziyue had packed everything up. Carrying his backpack and then holding the doll and his coffin, he quickly left the room.

Before this, Xu Ziyue had not gone out of the room at night.

The corridor in the hotel was completely dark and extremely quiet. The only source of light was the light coming out from the gap under the bedroom doors. When Xu Ziyue reached the stairs, that small source of light was no longer enough for him to see the stairs.

In the end, Xu Ziyue could only bend down and slowly feel his way down.

After turning around a corner and continuing downstairs, he reached the second floor but at this moment, Xu Ziyue heard some sounds. It was particularly obvious in the completely silent night.

Xu Ziyue listened carefully. He was so scared, all the hair on his body stood on end. He squatted on the stairs, not daring to move.

—– That was the sound of Tang Yunyun crying.

A warm touch on Xu Ziyue’s cheek returned him to his senses.

“Wh-what is it?” Xu Ziyue could hear his voice trembling.

The windowless hotel didn’t even have moonlight entering. He was currently in a state that was practically true pitch darkness and could only rely on his sense of touch to realise that it was the doll’s hand.

“Don’t be afraid.” The doll’s voice sounded next to Xu Ziyue’s ear. His voice was clearer than Tang Yunyun’s voice in the distance.

Xu Ziyue could even imagine the doll’s serious expression as he comforted him.

However, this appearance could only make Xu Ziyue feel fluffy inside, it didn’t help with addressing his fear!

It would have been better if it was Sun Mo or Austin instead.

Xu Ziyue closed his eyes and then opened it……But it made no difference, everything was still completely dark.

He couldn’t’ see anything.

In the darkness, the doll furrowed his brows. He looked at Xu Ziyue’s expression with some helplessness.

He spread his fingers and then clenched them into a fist several times.

Xu Ziyue hugged the doll more tightly and couldn’t help but reveal his pathetic side to the doll, “Although I don’t want to say it……but I’m actually quite scared.”

The doll said straightforwardly, “You’re afraid of the dark.”

Xu Ziyue buried his head in his arms and nodded. Surrounded by darkness, he couldn’t help but imagine all sorts of scenes he had seen in horror movies; bloody things as well as vengeful corpses and the like.

The doll was silent for a moment.

When Xu Ziyue finally decided to close his eyes and got ready to feel his way down the second floor, the doll patted his cheek again.

“Open your eyes.”

Before Xu Ziyue could register the meaning behind those words, he had already opened his eyes.

He then saw all the doors along the corridor slowly creak open on its own.

They didn’t just open, the lights in those rooms had also turned on. It was as if they were waving their hands, calling for Xu Ziyue to come in…….

At the same time, Tang Yunyun’s crying voice became more obvious.

Xu Ziyue’s expression froze.

He even felt his heart miss a beat.

He pursed his lips tightly together, desperately trying not to cry…..His vision blurred up slightly as his tears welled up.

And both his legs were completely stiff. He didn’t dare move at all.

The doll looked up at Xu Ziyue, his expression more flustered.

“Don’t be scared.”

“Don’t be scared.”

“Don’t be afraid…….”

The doll raised his hand wanting to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xu Ziyue’s eyes, but Xu Ziyue didn’t lower his head and he wasn’t tall enough to reach so he could only touch Xu Ziyue’s cheeks.

The doll despondently dropped his hand and repeated quietly, “Don’t be afraid…”

Xu Ziyue swallowed nervously. For a moment, all sorts of thoughts ran through his mind and then he heard the doll’s voice that sounded like he was about to cry next to his ears.

After the doll fell into a depressed state, he remembered the culprit and looked over in the direction of the cries.

Tang Yunyun’s crying sounds stopped abruptly. It was soon followed by footsteps slowly moving up the stairs.

“Thud, thud…..”

Xu Ziyue could even hear the sound of his heartbeat in his ears.

“Huh? Why aren’t you sleeping?” Jin’er who held a candle stood on the stairs between the first and second floor. She tilted her head and looked at Xu Ziyue curiously.

Xu Ziyue let out a sigh of relief.

But Xu Ziyue’s wet eyes seemed to have caught Jin’ers attention. She approached him with some excitement and then moved the candle closer so that she could see Xu Ziyue’s expression more clearly.

Jin’er’s lifeless eyes stared straight at Xu Ziyue, the smile on her face growing bigger and bigger. She tilted her head and said with a smile, “You are really cute.”

Xu Ziyue: “………” Feeling vexed.

Mo: “……..” Feeling vexed!

The author has something to say:
#Discussing the incorrect way of comforting#

——To actually let the “love rival” come to the rescue!

Little Mo Mo: ……Scram!
Jin’er: (*?︶?*)
Yue Yue: Ah…..Feeling tired.
