I Fed The Affectionate And Paranoid God - Chapter 17
But now wasn’t the time to dwell on this.
Xia Chenxi clicked on the black pattern according to the game content.
But the game graphics remained unchanged from before.
However, Xia Chenxi noticed that the love value in the mall had become zero.
He guessed that the interactive mode should have taken effect.
Next, Xia Chenxi held his breath and carefully controlled the game, afraid of accidentally touching the screen and wasting the ‘opportunity for interaction’.
After all, others only needed to pay money to play games, and the love value he used for playing games was all earned with his life before.
Most mobile games had similar operating methods, with only differences in degree of freedom.
Xia Chenxi tried to press his index finger onto the little person’s blanket and slowly move.
And the blanket slowly lifted with Xia Chenxi’s hand.
Xia Chenxi calmed down and continued to move the blanket down until he could see the injured arm of the little man before releasing his hand.
With a gentle breath, Xia Chenxi unexpectedly regained the long lost feeling of playing games, the tension and excitement of unknown developments.
Next, he was going to treat the little person.
As for the quilt, it could only remain open and couldn’t be restored to its original state.
Xia Chenxi felt that when the little person woke up, he would definitely be more guarded against him, he hoped that it could perceive that he had no ill intentions towards it.
The little man’s arms were somewhat pale, slender and delicate, and his curled up posture looked somewhat pitiful.
Xia Chenxi carefully zoomed in on the scene, then aimed at the most severely injured area of the little person and used ‘medical tape’.
The next second, medical tape appeared out of thin air on the little man’s arm.
The little man unconsciously moved his arm, probably feeling a bit cold, he suddenly withdrew his arm into the blanket with a whoosh.
This action was inexplicably cute.
Xia Chenxi pursed his lips, unable to suppress his smile.
At this moment, a white prompt popped up on the game screen: [It looks like it’s sleeping better.]
Xia Chenxi clicked on the screen and the text box was updated again.
[Dear player, as you have treated the wound of the little character and avoided the risk of fever and infection the next day, you will be rewarded with+5 love points. Please make good use of these love points]
Xia Chenxi’s whole body relaxed, this should be considered a good start, right?
He rubbed his somewhat cold fingertips and was even surprised to receive so much love value this time.
However… Why exactly was it a +5 love value?
Xia Chenxi’s expression was subtle, suspecting that the game would soon lure him to start interactive mode again.
But upon careful consideration, it seemed that this was more beneficial for players. It was better than before, where no matter how much interaction was made, the game didn’t respond much.
After the treatment was completed, Xia Chenxi continued to keep the game open in the background and also checked some information about Black Fog.
But he didn’t find anything useful.
So he chose to sleep first.
Xia Chenxi slowly turned his body, trying not to touch the bed board with his back as much as possible to avoid causing secondary injuries.
The night was gradually getting darker.
…………
The next day.
At eight o’clock in the morning, Xia Chenxi was awakened by the sudden crying outside the door. He sat up quickly, rubbing his wounds against the bed, and his back wound was instantly torn open, oozing blood.
Xia Chenxi immediately took a cold breath, and after a while, he felt less pain.
Although his ankle was injured and he couldn’t get off the ground, as long as he relied on a cane and walked carefully forward, there was no problem.
Xia Chenxi slowly moved to the door and gently opened it.
The unfamiliar police officer standing at the door heard the commotion and turned around to look at Xia Chenxi.
Before Xia Chenxi could ask, he explained directly, “I’m the duty officer who just changed shifts.”
Xia Chenxi nodded and greeted the other person, but his gaze was already drawn to the injured person lying not far from the corridor.
The other party’s wound looked particularly shocking, with most of the flesh on their arm missing, leaving only bloody bones.
But the medical staff had seen such bloody and tragic scenes many times, and reacted quickly to provide emergency treatment for the other party.
Xia Chenxi, on the other hand, adapted quickly after seeing the dismembered corpses and even spending several days with them, which was completely different from the patients around who reacted greatly to this scene.
Even the duty officer who was in charge of Xia Chenxi’s protection cast a surprised look, and couldn’t help but think of the colleague who had previously taken Xia Chenxi’s statement.
The other party described Xia Chenxi as a person who was very good at regulating emotions. This extremely tragic scene, if it were any ordinary person, would take at least several years to come out of this shadow.
And after only one night, the other party was already behaving like an ordinary person.
However, there were also many people like this. The police quickly withdrew his gaze and urged Xia Chenxi to lie down and rest well.
Xia Chenxi nodded and followed the instructions.
But when the little nurse came over in the morning, Xia Chenxi took the opportunity to inquire: “May I ask how the person who was sent over this morning got injured in their arm?”
The little nurse lifted her head and glanced at Xia Chenxi, and replied, “It seems like a lunatic sliced all the meat off her arm. The meat seems to have been used to cook hotpot.”
The little nurse even felt a little nauseous at this point.
How twisted could a person be to do such disgusting things.
Xia Chenxi suddenly had a visual in his mind and felt a bit nauseous. Now, he had added another dish to his blacklisted recipe, various meat rolls that could be used to make hot pot.
Before leaving, the little nurse asked, “Aren’t you going to call your family or friends to take care of you? If it’s really not possible, why don’t you hire a caregiver? It’s quite inconvenient for you.”
Xia Chenxi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in gratitude and said, “Okay, thank you.”
After the little nurse helped Xia Chenxi and left, Xia Chenxi’s first reaction was that he couldn’t wait to go to the game.
On the screen, the little person was still asleep.
Xia Chenxi enlarged the alarm clock on the bedside table, which was already pointing to 8 o’clock in the morning.
Xia Chenxi frowned.
He felt like he’d overlooked something.
He temporarily kept in mind the time pointed at by the game and the actual time.
During this period, Xia Chenxi ordered breakfast, and shortly after finishing it, the little character in the game moved.
Was it difficult to wake up now?
Xia Chenxi hurriedly put the headphones back on, then held his mobile phone and stared at the game screen without blinking.
Especially to the little person.
Suddenly, a line of text flashed across the game screen.
[It woke up]
The moment when this text disappeared, the little man moved again and quickly opened his eyes.
It slowly sat up, its gaze falling on its arm for the first time. When it saw the medical tape, its pupils suddenly tightened.
It instinctively clenched its hand, gasped for a few seconds, and then slowly released it.
It acted like nothing had happened, calmly getting out of bed and going to the bathroom to wash up.
Xia Chenxi thought about various possibilities, but he never thought that a villain would react like this.
It was too calm.
Calmly, Xia Chenxi began to suspect that the little person might not be so intelligent.
After a while, the little person walked out again and went to the kitchen to heat up the leftover food from yesterday.
Xia Chenxi looked at this strange fish that was even more inexplicably terrifying than yesterday, and his expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
The little man’s face remained as calm as yesterday, as if this strange fish with even more lifeless eyes looking up at the sky was just an ordinary dish.
Xia Chenxi could only brainwash herself. The little person was just a game character and couldn’t have a sense of smell like humans in the real world.
After brainwashing himself three times in a row, he finally felt less scared.
But the strange fish with dead fish eyes left a deep impression in Xia Chenxi’s memory.
After dinner, the little person went to the kitchen to tidy up the dishes, and the sound of splashing water accompanied by the collision of porcelain bowls sounded.
Xia Chenxi watched this scene from a gaming perspective and instinctively thought about how to bring his perspective into the kitchen.
Now his entire field of vision was trapped in the bedroom, unable to see anywhere.
Not to mention following the little person out.
However, this seemed to be a common problem in most cultivation mobile games, where the graphics were trapped in the bedrooms of game characters or in a space with only background rendering.
However, based on the mystery level of this game, Xia Chenxi suspects that he may need to achieve some kind of opportunity or spend money to unlock other maps.
However, he currently had no clue.
Xia Chenxi rubbed his swollen temples and noticed that the little person was picking clothes in front of the wardrobe.
It seemed to like wearing dark clothes very much, with only black and dark gray clothes in the wardrobe, one rarely saw bright colors.
It took out a set of clothes and placed them on the bed. Just as it was about to take off its coat, it suddenly paused and its expression seemed extremely displeased.
Xia Chenxi had a question mark on his face.
He didn’t seem to provoke anyone, did he?
The next second, the little person became calm again, then walked into the bathroom with a calm face and closed the door tightly with his hand.
Xia Chenxi finally realized and was shocked for a moment.
Did it mind if someone saw it changing clothes in the room?
So, it knew there was someone in the room, but why had it been so calm since waking up?
The more vigilant a person was, the more excited and repelled they tended to be when they saw changes in their home, especially in themselves.
But the little person was completely opposite.
Xia Chenxi put himself in the shoes of others.
If it were him and there was someone who was hiding in his house and helped treat his wound while he was asleep in the middle of the night.
He may thank the other person, but he would be very resistant to their behavior of hiding in the room and would try his best to take them out of the room.
And the little person’s calm demeanor may be two possibilities.
Firstly, it is set in the game to not have any overly intense reactions upon waking up.
But this possibility was very small.
Because it went to the bathroom to change clothes because it realized there was someone in the room.
As for the second option, it could be deliberately luring him to come forward.
Xia Chenxi suddenly became distressed.
Now, he was sure the little person would hate him even more, right?
With a sorrowful gaze, Xia Chenxi watched the little man leave the house in clean clothes, silently praying for it not to be hurt again.
His love value was really not enough!
After the little character left, Xia Chenxi switched the game to the background again and would log in to the game every half an hour to take a look.
But until noon, the little man never came back.
And the alarm clock in the room, after four hours in the real world, also pointed to noon.
The time between the game and the real world seemed to be synchronized.
This was particularly important.
At 1pm, Xia Chenxi’s ward was once again knocked on, and several police officers came in to ask Xia Chenxi to sign a contract agreeing to move.
Xia Chenxi suddenly thought of the Weibo post online.
The other party once said that the community across the street seemed to have been forcibly evacuated due to the death of a family of five.
It was similar to the current situation.
It also made Xia Chenxi increasingly suspicious of the reason for the murder of the five members of the family, perhaps it was related to strange things too!
The police seemed worried that Xia Chenxi might not agree, patiently explaining, “This is also for the safety of all residents. We will subsidize you with a house worth much more than the previous one, and also subsidize you with 500000 yuan.”
He immediately agree to sign the contract.
The police officer was taken aback and immediately said, “Okay, we will directly transfer the money to your account when the time comes.”
Xia Chenxi nodded, returned the pen to the other party after signing the contract, and asked, “Has the murderer been caught yet?”
The police’s expression became serious. “No, but don’t worry, we have equipped ourselves with energy to protect you, and even the community is being monitored. Once it appears, we will detect it as soon as possible.”
But Xia Chenxi felt…
The other party may not be able to notice.
That monster’s abilities were really terrifying. In addition to being able to dismember, it also had the ability to trap people in floors.
The police officer who completed the task didn’t leave, but sat down and asked Xia Chenxi, “But do you know where the resident of apartment 403 went at that time?”
Xia Chenxi came to his senses and couldn’t remember for a moment who the resident in apartment 403 was.
Fortunately, the police were well prepared and showed Xia Chenxi a photo. “This is the resident of apartment 403, named Bai Fan, and his age is 23.”
Xia Chenxi looked at the photo and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
It turned out to be him.
Xia Chenxi had a fairly deep impression of this person, but it was a bad impression.
This person was the white shirt man who previously advised him to be generous and not to mind, and he was considered one of the smarter people among all the residents.
But, after Xia Chenxi carefully recalled all the details of that time, it seemed like he really hadn’t been seen in the corridor, including his body.
Xia Chenxi hesitated and said, “I don’t know where he went at that time. All I know is that I hadn’t seen him in the hallway. Is he still alive?”
Otherwise, Xia Chenxi couldn’t understand why the other party asked him this question.
The police officer’s expression became somewhat strange, and his tone was complex with confusion. “He seemed to have evaporated out of thin air. We searched everywhere in the entire community, but couldn’t find him, including his body.”
Did he evaporate out of thin air?
Xia Chenxi showed a surprised expression and suddenly realized something.
The police noticed this and immediately sat up straight, asking, “What clues have you come up with?”
Xia Chenxi pursed his lips and hesitated, “I’ll tell you, but you may not believe me. Even I find my idea unbelievable.”
“It’s okay, no matter how unreasonable, it’s at least a direction of thought for us,” the police said.
Xia Chenxi said, “I suspect… he’s trapped on the fourth floor. The only thing I can think of is that he might not have hidden in the room, but went to the hallway.”
Therefore, when the monster disappeared, the floors would return to normal, and naturally, the space loop hidden in the hallway would also disappear with the monster.
However, this idea was too absurd.
