Extra: When horror game players meet a pair of husbands and are force-fed dog food
Chapter 140

Xu Ziyue’s experience after being converted into data was a bit peculiar. His data was contained inside the main system, but it was also separated and not tampered with by the other data.

In fact, the person who wants to tamper with Xu Ziyue’s data the most was himself…..For example his height and size…….But everything had been modified by the system so Xu Ziyue could only with go along with it as he wandered through the different worlds.

But because he had stayed in the main system for so long, no matter which world Xu Ziyue visited, the small NPCs that are mass-produced would always try to get closer to him to establish good relations.

On this day, Xu Ziyue entered a game world called “Midnight Cemetery”.

In the main system’s space, both Xu Ziyue and the main system would appear in the form of data. To become human, they would need to enter a world so compared to being in the system’s space, Xu Ziyue preferred living in these worlds instead.

The boss NPC of Midnight Cemetery was the nightwatchman. After Xu Ziyue entered, the system automatically added an additional NPC quota for him, and Xu Ziyue now took the identity of ‘the nightwatchman’s partner’.

Unlike the usual nightwatchman’s who are typically older men, the boss here was a fair-faced young man. After Xu Ziyue agreed to being converted into data, the main system was happy to fulfil Xu Ziyue’s desires in each world —– I can take whatever appearance you like.

This time was no exception.

The young man’s eyes were deep and filled with affection as he looked at Xu Ziyue. His features were defined and sharp, while his slightly narrow eyes gave off a hint of coldness but when he looked at Xu Ziyue and raised his lips slightly, that feeling was completely gone.

“Hello……” The players who had already introduced themselves to each other couldn’t help but interrupt Xu Ziyue who was enthusiastically admiring his lover’s new look. The leader said shakily, “We are the new interns….What should we be doing?”

He wasn’t a timid person, but his courage was only that of a normal person.

Standing in front of a dark and silent cemetery where you couldn’t even hear the sound of insects chirping and with the only light source around being the light coming from the NPC’s phone, not being afraid was simply impossible.

Even the most experienced players here have only gone through two games.

As an NPC and the NPC with the most authority in the game, the details of these players were displayed clearly.

Their task was to follow the nightwatchman to learn about his work for the next three days. Their job could be summed up as patrolling the cemetery at night…..Except for the first night where the nightwatchman would lead them around to get them familiar with the route, the next few nights would be done by themselves.

In these three days, there was only one way to clear the game and that was to find an empty grave to enter into. Of course, only one person can enter each grave, and the only way to truly know whether the grave is empty is to check the urn.

An empty urn would represent an empty grave. But even so, it would be rather difficult finding the corresponding grave to the urn in a large cemetery like this.

Not to mention, there was a possibility of receiving some surprises if they opened all the urns randomly.

The difficulty of this world wasn’t low.

Because of how the game was set, the twenty players before them were both companions and also opponents. The players naturally wouldn’t dare telling anyone else about the empty urn they had found…..

In short, Xu Ziyue was worried for them.

The one who answered the players’ question was the nightwatchman boss who wasn’t happy about being interrupted.

“Follow me to patrol around.”

The player’s settings were that they are students coming here for practical experience but amongst these, there were even some who looked to be in their teens. Seeing his, Xu Ziyue felt that he should just ignore that setting.

The cemetery was very large. The place they had started at was in front of the most important cemetery there.

Holding a common flashlight and wearing a guard’s uniform, the nightwatchman boss looked extremely handsome. With that appearance, one wouldn’t immediately associate him with the identity of a nightwatchman whose role is to guard a cemetery.

“We start with patrolling this part here. The main thing to look out for is to check whether there are anyone loitering around.” The man’s explained in a flat tone, “Follow me. I won’t look for you if you get lost.”

Xu Ziyue was originally standing next to that man. Seeing him turn around to lead the way, he moved to keep up, but the man had acted before him and had instead reached out to grab his hand. His tone softened considerably, “Hold my hand. Don’t get lost.”

The players who were whispering to each other suddenly felt silent. They quietly glanced over….

What was going on with these two NPCs?

Player Li Xi had gone through two games, successfully clearing both. His observation skills were good but the game this time didn’t require it because it had already revealed to them what they needed to do to clear it. The difficulty of this world however wasn’t low.

The nightwatchman NPC was like a guide for the beginners. As for the NPC beside him, he may be able to dig out some information from him…..As he thought this, he took in the behaviour of the two NPCs and silently added a note: These two NPCs are a little strange.

The nightwatchman spoke very little while the players continued to whisper behind him. Xu Ziyue couldn’t hear clearly but he also wanted to join ——– But of course, how could the players let him join?

Unable to stay still, Xu Ziyue lightly tickled Shen Ci’s palm with his finger.

The name of the main system could be arbitrarily called. Xu Ziyue would even sometimes change the way he calls him to see if he would react.

Despite this, he reacted with the reaction speed of a supercomputer. Xu Ziyue wasn’t able to succeed even once.

And the main system was satisfied with Xu Ziyue’s original state so most of Xu Ziyue’s data had remained the same as they were…..Xu Ziyue felt that his intelligence didn’t turn for the better even after becoming data.

Shen Ci turned around and lowered his head slightly to look at Xu Ziyue. He then quietly smiled and responded with hooking his finger with Xu Ziyue’s.

Xu Ziyue was stunned for a moment…..He didn’t notice the ledge below him and almost tripped and fell.

Shen Ci grabbed Xu Ziyue in time and stabilised him.

“Wow——I thought I was going to fall and disfigure myself.” Xu Ziyue glanced at the ledge in fear.

Shen Ci shook his head, “You should be careful while walking too. Don’t fidget around too much.”

“Cough……….It’s all your fault for being so eye-catching…..” Xu Ziyue found a very forced excuse.

The players felt that the atmosphere around this pair of NPCs was too abnormal. The mood no longer felt as strange and eerie as before.

It even felt a little lively?

So Li Xi tentatively asked, “Um, can I ask how long we’re going to walk like this?”

But he then saw that gentle looking nightwatchman NPC turn and look at him coldly, “All of it will need to be patrolled.”

The dark cemetery was very large. After going around the main cemetery itself, they still had some other places to stop by included the depository for the ashes (where the urns are at) as well as the morgue. These three places were of course the most important locations here in this game.

It took a long time for them to patrol through the entire cemetery.

And these intern players could only search for the empty urn when they are patrolling at night….Of course, there would also be bad consequences if they didn’t complete the necessary patrolling task — Thinking this, they quickly worked on getting familiar with the layout of the cemetery.

But more and more, they felt that the atmosphere between the two NPCs before them was strange…..It was because they had stopped and started to say things like this:

“There are mosquitoes biting me! Why are there mosquitoes?!”

The nightwatchman was silent for a few seconds, “I heard saliva can disinfect it and help the itch.

“! Can’t you just make the mosquitoes disappear?”

“…..I think I can use the method I said just now.”

And like this:

“I think I saw a ghostly light……”

【A player whispered: “I saw it too.” 】

The nightwatchman leaned down and asked, “Afraid?” He then continued before his companion could reply, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

“……..No, I was just feeling a little excited.”

Nightwatchman: “…….”

There was also something like this:

“You look so good in uniform….Drool~”

The nightwatchman was troubled, “What kind of strange tone is that?”

“It’s to show that I can’t help but drool when I see you!”

“I thought so.” The nightwatchman chuckled, “Looks like it was a good idea wearing it.”

“It’s the best! I love you!”

And also this:

“I’m tired….I can’t walk anymore. I don’t want to walk…….”

The nightwatchman then asked, “This is work….Then….do you want me to carry you?”

The nightwatchman then squatted in front of the other NPC and carried him on his back the entire way!

The players had been on guard the entire time, but nothing had happened apart from the NPCs acting a little strange. Some even started to wonder if the dangers would not be triggered until later into the game.

This continued until one of them couldn’t help but raise the question.

“Um….I want to ask what his work here at the cemetery is….?” The person was clearly trying to ask about Xu Ziyue’s NPC identity.

Xu Ziyue looked at Shen Ci, waiting for him to reply. Shen Ci wasn’t cold and indifferent this time and even kindly explained to the players, “He is my family.”

“…….Then, he’s your brother?” But even if they’re brothers, wasn’t holding hands, saliva and drooling a little over the top?

Shen Ci shook his head and denied, “No, he is my lover.”

The group of players: “?”

Was this a hidden route that was specially set in this world?

Thanks to the fact that every character in the game had a reason for their existence, although the players have been forced fed dog food the entire time, they didn’t feel uncomfortable. They felt that it might have meant something……..perhaps.

For example, would one go crazy if the other one gets hurt?

In any case, that was the conclusion the players had reached for now.

After revealing their relationship, this pair of NPCs became even less restrained.

At the depository for the ashes, the family NPC said, “The urns are also so beautiful.”

The nightwatchman said, “Hm? Better looking than me?”

“You get jealous too easily…..But of course you’re still the best.”

Receiving a satisfactory answer, the nightwatchman turned to look at the urns, “Which style do you like? We can choose one and I can get it for you.”

All the players collectively looked over.

Xu Ziyue, “…..No, I don’t really like cremation.”

Shen Ci nodded. His next words were shocking, “Then we can continue sleeping in the coffin.”

And thus, the players who had just relaxed their guard a little immediately became vigilant again.

The players who had been forced to eat dog food all night were then sent back to the staff dormitory.

Xu Ziyue followed Shen Ci to their room.

Back in the room, Xu Ziyue threw himself on the bed and sighed comfortably. He then asked, “Are you closing the game session again?”

Shen Ci loosened his tie and then walked over to the side of the bed. With on knee resting on the edge of the bed, he leaned down and wordlessly kissed Xu Ziyue.

The slightly hot kiss raised both their body temperatures. The temperature in the room also seemed to have risen.

Shen Ci loosened his hold of the back of Xu Ziyue’s head and slowly let go. His voice was a little hoarse, “I was afraid that you would be scared to tears.”

Xu Ziyue licked his lips, taking in the aftertaste, “I won’t. And aren’t you by my side?”

“Liar.” Shen Ci pinched Xu Ziyue’s nose, “Last time I was clearly with you too.”

“Cough…..That wasn’t the same. It was because I didn’t know that you were the big boss. What’s more……you’re also very big now~”

The “big” held various different meanings.

Shen Ci raised his brow and accepted Xu Ziyue’s challenge.

All in all, he advanced onwards.

As for those players…..After experiencing the calm of the first night, they were greeted with frightening and horrible experiences typical of a horror game.

But some players seemed to have found an exception. As long as they can endure the process of being stuffed with dog food by the nightwatchman NPC couple, they are safe.

This didn’t help them with clearing the game but even a short moment of peace in the game satisfied them.

After all, they wouldn’t hesitate to choose to eat dog food in exchange for safety.

This phenomenon frequently appeared in the worlds Xu Ziyue appeared in.

Players believe that this was probably the game designers’ malice towards single dogs.

KK has something to say:
And that’s the end of ‘Misplacement Game’! Another novel done and dusted~

As mentioned last chapter, I felt that the ending/last part of the arc was rushed and slightly confusing so I have to be honest, I’m not too fond of how the novel ended….kind of left me with a bad taste in my mouth 😖 . To me, it felt like the author just wanted to quickly wrap everything up and just randomly made something up to try and tie up the loose ends. (And whether the author was able to successfully do that is another question….😅)

Anyway! I hope you guys enjoyed the ride. I’ll be posting up my next novel that I’ve picked up ‘I Really Am a Slag Shou!’ very soon! I’ll see you guys there ❤
