Chapter 224: The Beauty of Corpse(1/2)
The fifth ward.
When Xinxin returned to the ward, Lian Yan was sitting by the window, tuning the violin.
She hesitated to speak, feeling that it was a bit presumptuous to interrupt the busy conversation like this.
Lian Yan quickly noticed her movements and smiled: "Is there anything you want to say?"
For some reason, Xinxin always felt familiar and resistant when facing him. She nodded: "Can you give me some tips about the security key you mentioned tonight?"
Lian Yan didn't seem to expect that she would ask such a straightforward question, but he just shook his head helplessly: "I don't know either."
"Tell me about your world?" Lian Yan suddenly put down his violin and asked a very strange question.
This question was so abrupt that Xinxin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"You look like... you're still a college student, right?" Lian Yan asked.
Xinxin shook his head slightly: "I have graduated."
"What major?"
"psychology."
"psychology?"
Very rarely, there was a hint of disapproval in Lian Yan's tone.
Xinxin is also sensitive to this change. Indeed, it is difficult for psychology majors and people with mental disorders to get along well.
After all, Xinxin is learning to quantify the human spirit, which in the eyes of a considerable number of people suffering from mental illness is an extremely shallow and stupid thing.
"I don't have time to talk about this anymore." Xinxin said, she didn't want to continue talking about herself.
Without even forcing it, he picked up the violin again and continued tuning.
"I don't know more than you do, otherwise I would have left this world."
He paused and said:
"The only thing I can tell you...is that this world reincarnates once every seven days."
He lowered his head and looked at the violin calmly, as if he was saying something extremely normal.
Xinxin was extremely surprised and asked: "Does it mean that your identities will change every seven days?"
Lian Yan looked up at her unexpectedly: "It seems that you also got some good news from your companions."
"That's right, the seven of us have been playing this boring game endlessly and without end."
Lian Yan's tone was not strong, but for the first time, Xinxin heard strong resentment in his words.
Perhaps, this necrophiliac who has always behaved calmly and elegantly is not as peaceful in his heart as he appears...
"By the way, you seem...a little afraid of me?" Lian Yan asked.
"It's not fear, it's familiarity and resistance." Xinxin answered the question honestly.
When facing Lian Yan, she always finds it difficult to treat him as an ordinary "NPC".
"Oh?" Lian Yan seemed to be interested, "Why familiarity and resistance?"
"You're a little strange," Xinxin looked at Lian Yan, "I always feel like I've seen something similar somewhere..."
Lian Yan: "Have you ever seen me?"
Xinxin shook his head: "No, it is..."
She was interrupted before she could finish her sentence: "If you feel it's forced, there's no need to say it."
"Tell me what you think is strange about me." His eyes were bright. This was the first time he showed such interest except when he mentioned the violin.
"First...the eyes."
Xinxin hesitated to tell the reason.
I learned from other players that all patients possess some kind of strange power related to their illness, but so far, Lian Yan has not shown any related abnormalities at all.
This made Xinxin focus entirely on Lian Yan. After careful observation, Xinxin discovered something that made her feel a little chilly.
"You never blink."
"Besides, your expression is always so perfect, and you don't even move your hair."
"You don't look like a living person..."
There was a moment of silence.
Then, a gentle and excited look appeared on his face: "That's enough, now..."
"What?"
Xinxin suddenly had goosebumps all over her body. After Lian Yan said these words, she instantly felt that Lian Yan's eyes changed!
He no longer looked at a person...it was almost like...looking at his beloved violin.
"Your most beautiful moment."
After Lian Yan finished speaking, Xinxin discovered to her horror that she couldn't move!
Lian Yan stood up slowly and walked towards her: "Everything in the world has its most beautiful moment."
"I have been waiting for your most beautiful moment...Miss Xinxin."
Lian Yan stood one meter away from her and said, "You are not tall, you are small and cute."
"But, your true character is not like this. There are internal and external conflicts, so... it's not beautiful."
"However, I enjoy the moments that lead to the most beautiful moments. This is true for every work I have ever done."
"Your most beautiful moment is right now!"
"When you discovered my secret, there was fear, wisdom, determination, and confidence in your eyes... It's so beautiful. This is the moment. I want to freeze this moment!"
"It's like... freezing myself."
After Lian Yan finished speaking, dense eyeballs suddenly appeared in his eye sockets!
He...this pervert, this terrifying necrophiliac, he actually turned himself into a corpse?!
Only then did Xinxin realize what the most normal-looking person in front of him had done.
She concentrated and used her mind to use her permanent item ability!
【Her photo】
use!
Xinxin's photo effect is similar to that of Ningbihu, but it is more functional. Ningbihu is limited to single use, but photos can draw up to three people into the photo space. At the same time, the external situation can be observed from within the photo space.
But it also has some disadvantages compared to the Ningbi Hu. For example... the Ningbi Hu will completely disappear from the current world after being used, but the photos will remain in place.
For another example, as long as you bring enough food and water, you can stay in the Ningbi Hu for a long time. The duration depends on the game duration, up to half, but photos can only be used for one-tenth of the game duration.
Using the photo at this moment, Xinxin would undoubtedly be repeatedly told to "keep her body guarded", but she had no other choice but to hope that others would discover her.
With a thought, Xinxin disappeared from the ward in an instant!
She appeared in the photo space——
A dark living room, a TV playing, and two rotting corpses hanging from the ceiling...
However, what shocked Xinxin was...her body was still unable to move!
How is it possible?
What exactly is Lian Yan's ability? Why can't I move?
Xinxin looked at the outside world in horror.
Lian Yan slowly knelt down, picked up the photo, and looked at her unexpectedly: "Oh? Photos are a way to preserve beauty forever, but they... will eventually wear out."
"Let me make you into a corpse so that you will always be beautiful, dear lady..."
In the photo, Xinxin watched as Lian Yan's face continued to enlarge in his field of vision. At the same time, the dense eyeballs in his eye sockets were bulging and filled.
suddenly!
Xinxin felt her arms go cold...
She couldn't move, but she could feel that her blood vessels were being cut, and a large amount of blood was flowing out of her wrists.
How could this happen... I'm already in the photo space, why can he still attack me?
Is it an illusion?
Xinxin wanted to bite the tip of her tongue, but she still couldn't move. Tears overflowed from her eyes.
The cold touch suddenly reached his neck, and his consciousness quickly blurred with the loss of blood.
Xinxin could feel a cold blade moving across every inch of her skin. He... Lian Yan said that pervert was peeling her skin off...
The blood and pain made Xinxin terrified, and she realized that she was far from being as strong as she thought.
Suddenly her eyes caught sight of the two corpses on the ceiling, and Xinxin finally couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
To be continued...
