Chapter 83 Men's Ghost Chapters Cannot Be Trusted
Not long after Yan Xun returned to his temporary residence, Gu Jia and Sun Yue also arrived at Xiaoxiao Supermarket.
From Yan Xun's perspective, he could only see the two people go in, buy some things, and then leave quickly. Before leaving, Gu Jia glanced at him one more time.
He guessed that Gu Jia probably knew his location.
Yan Xun sat in the chair, still holding the bottled water he had taken from Xiaoxiao Supermarket. He opened it, took a few sips, and said to the system.
"If I know the whole movie plot and the truth, can I leave the instance early?"
【?? You guessed it??】The system was incredulous.
"No, not really." Yan Xun gestured. "About 40%, the rest will probably have to wait until the sacrificial ceremony and temple fair begin."
Due to his character setting, he couldn't appear in Wusheng Village during his disappearance. In addition, Yan Yu was keeping an eye on him, which slowed down his progress in finding clues.
He remembered that tomorrow, others would see their own bodies floating on the water in the village pond.
He had already decided to use Gui Yuchong as a substitute for the corpse—he would just buy a disposable human skin mask from the store to look like him—it costs 5000 points, which isn't cheap, but it's an essential item for getting through this part of the story.
He didn't want to just get stuck in this instance.
“But I think…it’s not that simple.” Yan Xun said to the system again, “I guess the person lying there tomorrow won’t be the real Yan Xun.”
Based on his observations of Yan Yu over the past few days, and the subtle contents of that marriage certificate.
Yan Xun felt that the person in the pond was probably not the real Yan Xun.
As for what it is, with so many tricks up his sleeve, Yan Yu could easily make up a substitute, right?
The film unfolds from Sun Zhao's perspective. From Sun Zhao's and others' perspectives, Yan Xun is dead, and he dies in the pond tomorrow. But outside the film's viewpoint, he is mostly sent to be a bride after the temple fair ends.
"Let's wait and see." Yan Xun sat by the window, looking at Xiaoxiao Supermarket. "By the time the temple fair is over, this instance will be almost finished."
Seeing Yan Xun's confident demeanor, the system asked, "Tell me honestly, how many clues have you actually gathered?"
"Weren't you with me the whole time?" Yan Xun retorted. "Just what you've seen."
The system carefully recalled for a long time but couldn't sense anything special that Yan Xun had found—aside from knowing the origin of the wooden boxes in the Cimu Hall and figuring out what Yan's parents were planning, it couldn't discern anything special from Yan Xun's observations.
"You bought the script behind my back?" the system wondered.
“If I had this money, my first choice would be to upgrade the system,” Yan Xun chuckled coldly, “not to buy a script.”
At noon, Yan Yu arrived on time to deliver the lunch.
This person even changed his clothes again, which made Yan Xun take a few more glances.
He noticed that she tugged at her sleeve a few times, somewhat awkwardly. "What's wrong?"
"No," Yan Xun muttered, "I think you quite like dressing up."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yu glanced at Yan Xun a few more times before saying, "A rehearsal is needed before the ceremony begins, so..."
Yan Xun put on an impatient look, "I know, your sacrifice is very important."
He sat there, looking at the food Yan Yu had brought. Perhaps because the sacrificial ceremony was about to begin, the dishes on the table were noticeably lighter in color. Yan Xun ate a few bites and then put down his chopsticks.
"Not to your liking?" Yan Yu asked immediately.
"Boring," Yan Xun said again. He didn't want to talk to Yan Yu. He walked to the bed in his slippers and lay down. "I want to go back."
"Once the ritual is over, you will be able to..."
“I said I want to go back to my house,” Yan Xun interrupted him, impatiently playing with her phone while hugging her pillow. “There’s nothing here.”
"I am bored."
"How could you stay here for so long?"
Yan Xun hugged his pillow and tilted his head to look at Yan Yu behind him.
Yan Yu sat at the table with the food box he had brought beside him. He seemed to understand Yan Xun's meaning before saying, "Why can't we stay this long?"
His expression was genuinely confused; he didn't understand why Yan Xun was asking that question.
"I'll just stay here," Yan Yu thought for a moment. "I'm used to it."
"So you've never left Wusheng Village, never stepped outside the village?" Yan Xun asked again.
Yan Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
Yan Xun didn't know if he was lying or not.
Could it be that Yan Yu is an old monster born and raised in Wusheng Village?
Yan Yu slowly stood up in Yan Xun's sight, and finally walked to the edge of the bed. He looked down at Yan Xun, who was lying on the pillow playing on his phone, and said, "I'm not like you."
He seemed to be answering Yan Xun's earlier question about whether he would be bored.
"I've never been outside, I've never seen the outside world, so naturally I can't understand what you mean by saying that Wusheng Village is boring."
Yan Xun lay on the pillow without saying a word.
But in his head, he was whispering to the system—
"Did he attend some talent show to improve his skills?" Yan Xun wondered. "His sob story is almost touching."
If he didn't know that Yan Yu wasn't human at all, just hearing his words, he would have thought that Yan Yu was a young man left behind in the village because of practical reasons.
"I think some men are born with a silver tongue," the system chimed in.
The chat in Yan Xun's live stream was also very lively.
[Awesome! This is the kind of awesome feeling! Seeing through the true colors of these men (?), I coldly and ruthlessly rejected them!]
【Wuwu, I'm relieved to know you won't be fooled by a man's sweet talk :)】
[Man! Open your eyes! Who do you think you're facing? Our ruthless CEO Yan!]
Don't believe men's lies, and definitely don't believe the lies of these inhuman creatures!
Yan Xun lay face down on the pillow, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes.
"Then take me out for a walk," Yan Xun said again, deliberately making things difficult for Yan Yu. "You don't find it boring, but I do."
"This place is so small, I can walk around it in just a few steps."
"And I can't even talk to anyone else." Yan Xun grew angrier as she spoke. "I wish I hadn't come here!"
"No," Yan Yu said.
He stood there, looking down at the angry Yan Xun, "This is the only thing that won't do."
Yan Xun glared at him, his expression extremely displeased.
Yan Yu looked at him for a while, and finally softened his attitude.
He squatted down, gripping the edge of the bed with one hand, and looked at Yan Xun. "Where do you want to go? Something not too far. I can take you for a walk."
