CH 61.2

Bai Lixin took a deep breath. He leaned his entire body weight on Dijia and changed the words that came to his lips, “It’s nothing, you know I’ve never liked the system so I was casually denigrating its technical level.”

“This rubbish game. It has so many bugs yet it can’t even detect them.”

Xia Chi and Emil looked at each other, still a little suspicious.

On the contrary, Emil let out a long sigh of relief.

Just a moment ago, the worldview and perception he had once constructed about this game world was about to disintegrate.

Whether what Bai Lixin said was true or not, he now preferred to believe Bai Lixin’s explanation afterwards.

Emil said breathlessly, “Let’s get out of here first?”

Xia Chi, “Okay.”

They walked out of the basement and saw that the red and white moons in the sky were close together and looked ready to reunite.

The ghosts wandered through the dark corridor aimlessly. Bai Lixin returned to his room and the long-haired female ghost who wasn’t afraid of death earlier came up again, “Little brother, it’s late at night, where did you go just now? Why do you look so pale?”

The Iceberg-like Dijia stood beside Bai Lixin so the female ghost didn’t dare to get too close and she stopped several steps away from Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin’s head was still buzzing even though the escape system had gone silent, dragged into a small dark room by S419M, and the screen in his head returned from red to a quiet blue.

“Are your corpses inside these walls?” Bai Lixin threw out a question instead of answering the female ghost’s question.

Bai Lixin stood up and knocked on the wall. The walls that isolated the corridor were thin and not enough to hide any corpses.

Since they weren’t hidden on the wall, then it was underground?

With these thoughts, Bai Lixin knelt down and instantly came face to face with the empty skeletal eye sockets under the bed.

The skeletons immediately hugged each other and trembled.

He decided to just turn his head but then saw a pair of blood-red eyes appear in front of him.

The female ghost spoke in a whisper, “Little brother, what do you want to do?”

Bai Lixin endured a headache, “To help you free yourselves.”

Not only the female ghost, but also the other ghosts got the courage to approach Bai Lixin.

“Help us to free ourselves? How can we be freed? Is it true that we can we get out of here?”

Bai Lixin happened to be tapping on the floor when he suddenly hit a hollow sound.

He and Dijia looked at each other. He took out the dagger and knocked along the gap in the floor.

The floor was opened and Bai Lixin saw the densely packed and neatly arranged corpses inside.

This was the second floor, and the corpses were neatly laid out on one floor. Their bodies had already air-dried into dry corpses and they all wore grey hospital gowns. It would be impossible to identify them based on their appearance.

Bai Lixin tossed the board he had pried open aside, and sat cross-legged at the hole in a daze.

Dijia, “Scared?”

Bai Lixin’s expression was a little subtle as he looked at Dijia and asked, “Let me ask you something.”

Dijia was unsure, “What is it?”

Bai Lixin, “Do you think that a ghost can possess a corpse?”

Dijia, “It’s not impossible, as long as there is a ghostly qi…”

He suddenly paused and looked at Bai Lixin in surprise, “Really?”

Bai Lixin smiled, “Yes, will you help me?”

Dijia coughed lightly, “Its not impossible, but that image, are you sure?”

Bai Lixin grabbed Dijia’s arm and gently swayed it twice, his tone was warm and soft with a touch of coquettishness, “Help me, brother.”

Dijia: “……”

Help! I must help!

Who let him have so much ghost qi that he had no place to use it?!

Half an hour later, there was a knock at the door to Xia Chi and Emil’s room.

The two were just about to sleep off and Xia Chi went to open the door in a daze. He yawned as he asked, “What’s up, brother?”

The door to the room was pulled open but for the first time, Xia Chi was not drawn to Bai Lixin’s overly handsome face.

The sleepiness all but dissipated, and his eyes were filled with the densely packed dry corpses behind Bai Lixin.

Dry corpses!

Real dry corpses!!!

And they were alive! And moving, and talking!

Xia Chi grabbed the door handle to keep himself from passing out.

Brother, what amazing things have you done in this hour of absence?!

Next to Bai Lixin was a glowing Dijia.

Glowing?

Why?

But he soon got to know why.

Bai Lixin, “You have been sleeping so I didn’t disturb you. I dug up all the corpses and had the ghosts possess them, only your room is left.”

Xia Chi cowered and poked his head out of the doorframe.

The long, narrow corridor was densely packed with dry corpses and they seemed to stretch all the way to the staircase.

There couldn’t be more on the ground floor, could there?

Xia Chi pinched himself: “……”

I must be dreaming!

Shit, it hurts, it’s not a dream.

Bai Lixin and Dijia walked straight to the room. Bai Lixin skillfully pried the floor open and found the dried corpses laying underneath it.

The next second, the scene that made them want to scream appeared.

Bai Lixin hugged Dijia’s arm and shook it gently, “Brother.”

The ghostqi on Dijia’s body surged, and a steady stream entered the ghosts in the room.

After the injection, Dijia ordered majestically, “Go find your bodies and possess them.”

Xia Chi and Emil: “……”

Dijia the tool man solidly hammered.

When it was all done, Dijia didn’t forget to reassure Bai Lixin, “Don’t worry, I have plenty of ghostly qi. Let alone these, it’s not a problem to even double them.”

Bai Lixin smiled gently, “You are so kind, it is brother that is the best.”

Xia Chi: “……”

This scene was like a flashback to the time when they were with the True Ancestor of the Blood clan.

He was now Bai Lixin’s younger brother who had seen the world and was able to remain calm.

The only one who could make the copy big boss to help wholeheartedly was his brother.

Beneath the floor was a sudden rustling, pushing and scraping sound.

Xia Chi and Emil’s faces fell as they watched one dried corpse after the other emerge from the hole.

Fuck, it was enough that they had to got to the Underworld hotel every night, but they had actually slept with a bunch of dry corpses under their beds.

He should have thought of that after hearing his brother say that there might be corpses buried in the walls of the confinement cells.

The dry corpses moved quickly, and by the time the last corpse crawled out, all the ghosts that were just overhead were gone too.

Xia Chi even heard the corpses whispering to each other.

“Brother, why is my body so awkward? It’s so heavy. I want to fly but I can’t fly, it’s so strange.”

“You are trying to fly, I want to fucking crawl right now. I’ve been running around on all fours so suddenly walking on two feet is so troublesome.”

“Tsk tsk, how strange. Is this my body or not?”

“To be honest, I had that question too.”

“It’s completely unrecognisable when it’s dry.”

“I can confirm that this is not my body, I’m missing an arm, but this corpse is missing the eyes. I’m blind now, who can show me a blind ghost got into the wrong corpse?”

“You said it’s blind, but it’s no longer blind now that it’s in the wrong body.”

“So what? It’s good to have a container so I can finally get out. This place has been so suffocating.”

Xia Chi: “……”

No way, so I’m not the only one who can’t recognize you guys, even you can’t recognize yourselves?!

You can’t just randomly walk into a corpse, can you?

Can’t you ghosts be more serious?!

Xia Chi gripped the door handle with all his strength, asked, “Those in the confinement cell…”

Bai Lixin, “All ghosts in the entire Red Apple House are here.”

Xia Chi couldn’t understand his brother’s operation at all, “Brother, what do you plan to do?”

“What Emil said about blowing up the house was one way to do it, but I thought that there might be a better way. So I thought about it for a long time when we came back.”

Bai Lixin thoughtfully helped Dijia, who had been working all night, up, “If I were one of these ghosts, and I had been played with, imprisoned and experimented on, I would not just hold my tongue and let it go.”

“And since I have that right, I wanted to give them that right too. So I let them choose for themselves; it’s still early, so those who wanted to leave could just leave. They could harness their corpses to the orchard and head to the underworld hotel on their own.”

“Those who wanted revenge could stay.”

“Although there was no malice in burning the corpses, they had been humiliated before they died, and it would be a pity for them to leave like that.”

A blazing fire appeared in Bai Lixin’s eyes, “Since they are leaving anyway, why not give Dr. Huai a surprise?!”

Xia Chi looked at Bai Lixin and had a moment of shock.

Bai Lixin had always given him the feeling of *not eating human fireworks.

He seemed to know everything like the back of his hand, and no matter how difficult it was, he could always find a solution.

He had never even seen any expression on Bai Lixin’s face other than calmness.

But the Bai Lixin in front of him had an unconcealed anger underneath the calmness.

This copy boss called Dr. Huai had really pissed off his brother.

This was the first time he had seen his brother so angry.

Dr. Huai, you’re done for!

The only one who could think of turning ghosts into zombies is you, brother!

But…

Damn, it’s really crowded here.

This corpse, don’t squeeze me!

In the live broadcast room.

[…Uh, I’m beyond shocked!]

[I’m so happy to stay up late to watch the live stream. Watching God Xin is better than sleeping, you never know when the divine twist will come.]

[If it was me, I would have just burned the corpses…]

[God Xin is right, burning corpses is not enough for them. Dogs can bite, let alone persecuted experimental humans.]

[So is there more to the previous comment by God Xin about the copies not being made up of data?]

[I think it was forcibly stopped by the system? Bai Lixin’s face didn’t look quite right at that time.]

[Heh, *there is no silver three hundred taels hhere The more that is not allowed to be said, the more fishy it is Even if the truth is blocked, can’t we explore ourselves? Bai Lixin has already thrown the introduction to us. I was brought here for without my consent and I’ve long been suffocated by these copies.]

[*Nsdd, next time I go to a copy, I’ll find an NPC to try.]

—

At 4:30 a.m, the red and white moons completely merged.

The fog that was shrouding the apple orchard dispersed completely, and two cars quietly drove down the winding road in the distance.

The priests and the nuns came out of the front car, while several men in doctors’ white coats came out of the one at the back.

The moment they got out of the car, they were immediately surrounded by an ocean of dry corpses.

The smiles that had been on the people’s faces disappeared as they looked at the dried corpses.

They backed away in horror as the skin on their faces began to peel off. One after the other, they turned into the monstrous appearance that Bai Lixin had seen in the hospital.

Someone among the dried ghosts shouted.

“Shit, this thing looks even uglier than me.”

“Brothers, let’s get rid of them.”

“Sisters as well, let’s all go together!”

The corpses were very strong, not afraid of pain, and courageous.

They grabbed the limbs of those monsters and pulled them apart just as easily.

Xia Chi stood behind Bai Lixin and looked in in awe.

He had now seen the world.

It was his first time to see ghosts and monsters fight.

Corpse brothers and sisters, come on, kill them all!

Amidst the harsh roars, the corpses mercilessly ripped the monsters into pieces and raised the limbs in the air.

In the distance, the sun, which had been preparing to rise, came to an abrupt halt.

The barrier began to fluctuate and a mesh like ripple appeared in the sky without Bai Lixin’s interference.

Behind Bai Lixin and Dijia stood thousands of dried corpses.

They faced the false dawn and breeze, gazing coldly at the distant sun.

The wind blew by and ruffled the hair around the young man’s ears. Dijia turned his head to look at the young man’s side profile. The flying hair added a bit of a sassy and arrogant air to him.

He had always thought that Bai Lixin gave off an aloof scholarly air, but today, in just one night, he had seen a coquettish Bai Lixin, an angry Bai Lixin, and a wildly arrogant Bai Lixin, who was now filled with fighting spirit.

The first personality already had fascinated him, not to mention the fact that he had suddenly become so vivid tonight.

While Bai Lixin was provoking Dr. Huai through the monitor, Dijia’s eyes were only on Bai Lixin.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently.

A section of the barrier overhead slowly disappeared and an unreadable number of small black dots came rushing towards them from the air!

Accompanying the rush of these monsters was Dr. Huai’s hysterical roars of rage.

“Bastard! You bastard!”

“This is the fruit of centuries of work! You’ve ruined it all! I’m going to kill you!”

“You’ll pay for what you’ve done! Bai Lixin! I will not kill you so easily, I will tie you to the operating table and torture you so that you will become my most prized creation.”

Dijia’s eyes suddenly became cold.

A black shadow was seen flying from the ground and rushing towards the black dots in the sky. Like a flexible thread, it connected them in a string.

By the time Dijia came back to the ground, half of the black dots in the sky had fallen straight to the ground.

Just when Dijia was about to rush forward again, Bai Lixin pulled his hand, “Wait, let me do it.”

There were flames burning in Bai Lixin’s black pupils.

It was the fire of war, and even more so the fire of anger.

Letting Bai Lixin to take matters into his own hands was the only way to quell his anger.

The corpses behind him also began to whine, “That’s right, we’re big and have a lot of anger. We want to take it out on these monsters so don’t take them all out, save some for us. We don’t want *to drink the northwest wind.”

Bai Lixin had already taken the scythe out of his backpack.

Dijia took a look at it, laughed silently and stepped back.

It was the army of dry corpses versus the army of monsters.

Under the faint morning sun, the black dots in the sky gradually began to enlarge, revealing their true appearance as well.

They looked much like the monsters from earlier, except that these had wings.

And at the end of the forest came the roar of a huge beast. Accompanied by this roar was the rush of countless terrifying monsters and mechanical men.

These were the results of Dr. Huai’s painstaking efforts.

The true essence of ecological experimentation was that one could not forcefully interfere with ecological space until the experiment was over.

Now that Dr. Huai had opened the barrier wall himself, it meant that he had destroyed his life’s work and achievement with his own hands.

This psychological torture was far more painful than the physical torture.

Having played with the other people’s lives, he had finally destroyed his life’s work at this moment.

No matter how hysterical he was now, he had lost the moment he opened the barrier wall.
