S419M: [Lord Host, why does he look strange? He seems a little foolish. Did he become crazy after some stimulation?]
Bai Lixin: [I’m also a bit puzzled.]
He stared at Chen Ping for two seconds, then changed his address when he spoke again: “Little puppy.”
In that instant, Chen Ping, who had been expressionless the whole time, suddenly widened his eyes, his pupils gleaming.
Chen Ping opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue like a dog. He even crawled on his knees and hands to Bai Lixin’s side.
While crawling, he wagged his buttocks as if he really was a dog and there was a dog’s tail behind him.
An odd look flashed in Bai Lixin’s eyes.
It was clear that Chen Ping’s soul had forgotten how to communicate, yet instinctively, he remembered the signal of “little puppy” and responded to it.
Escape System: [Being able to imprint behaviors deep onto the soul indicates that either there was an enormous impact from that event, or a profound experience.]
The semi-transparent ghost finally climbed to Bai Lixin’s side. Then, imitating a dog, he sat on the ground, gazing at Bai Lixin, his eyes eager and expectant.
Bai Lixin pondered and said, “Bark twice.”
He wanted to test how much “Chen Ping” could comprehend his instructions.
The semi-transparent ghost immediately opened its mouth and silently barked twice.
Bai Lixin thought for a moment and said, “Pee in place.”
The semi-transparent ghost didn’t hesitate at all. It swiftly stood up and performed a peeing motion without a trace of shame.
Bai Lixin looked at the obedient ghost, taking longer to consider this time than the previous two times.
Finally, he pointed to the door and said, “Leave this place.”
This time, the ghost hesitated.
He crawled to the door and tried to push it open, but when he reached the threshold, he seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier.
His body slammed into the barrier and was flung back.
Although the ghost shouldn’t have physical pain, it cried in silent agony on the ground.
Then, the ghost got up in distress and continued crawling towards the entrance.
But again, his body was thrown back.
This time, the ghost restlessly rolled on the ground, biting and tearing at its own arm while looking at Bai Lixin guiltily.
It felt guilty for failing to fulfill its “master’s” command.
Bai Lixin also noticed something amiss. He put on his shoes, stood up from the sofa, and walked to the entrance.
Holding the ignored pig’s head in his hands, Bai Lixin turned it over and noticed a square object on the cross-section of the pig’s head.
Taking out the object, Bai Lixin found it to be a golden cloth pouch. However, the gold-colored cloth was dyed red with the pig’s head’s blood, turning it into golden-red.
The pouch was small, about two centimeters wide and three centimeters long.
Though the blood blurred the pouch, Bai Lixin could still see the embroidered word “Du” on it.
The pouch felt a bit stiff, and it contained something inside.
Bai Lixin opened the pouch and took out its contents.
Strangely, although the pouch’s exterior was soaked in blood, the contents inside were untouched, and well-preserved.
It was a yellow paper folded repeatedly. He opened the paper and realized it was a talisman.
It bore obscure and intricate symbols and characters drawn in cinnabar on the elongated yellow paper.
Though he couldn’t understand the text on it, Bai Lixin guessed that this talisman was the thing trapping Chen Ping’s ghost.
Sure enough, after Chen Ping finished his rampage, he attempted to leave the room again.
This time, nothing stood in his way, and he easily passed through the entrance. His transparent body didn’t even need to open the door; it simply slipped out.
One minute passed.
Three minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
There were no signs of Chen Ping returning.
S419M: [Lord Host, should we go out and look for him?]
Bai Lixin raised an eyebrow: [Are you asking me to go out? Are you trying to kill your host?]
S419M: [I… I don’t dare! I meant you could go out and look!]
Bai Lixin: [Would you dare?]
S419M shuddered: […Um, maybe you should just forget it. Let him be a dog, an undefined dog, a free-spirited dog, a dog enamored with the mountains and rivers!]
Bai Lixin: [Why don’t you join him and be a carefree one too? Having the free-spirited Sister System around me is enough; my inner world is too small for two, it’s too crowded.]
S419M: […]
‘Silence is golden, silence is silver, silence is the only myth.’
Escape System: [Master Bai Lixin, since that ghost left the room, there have been no more supernatural events. Does that mean this house is no longer haunted?]
Holding the talisman and cloth pouch in one hand, Bai Lixin glanced at the chubby pig head: [There shouldn’t be any more supernatural occurrences. Sister System, check the background information and find out who hung this pig’s head here.]
Escape System: [Yes, Master Bai Lixin.]
[I found it.]
[The pig’s head was hung by the landlord, who said it’s for warding off evil spirits.]
[…] Bai Lixin: [Who is the landlord?]
Escape System: [I’m not sure. The pig’s head was hung by a representative; I heard the landlord belongs to a relocated household with many properties under their name, and this is just one of them. The landlord is often overseas, and the rental contract is signed by a property management company, with the rent deposited directly into the landlord’s bank account.]
S419M: [How mysterious! Is this what a relocated household is like?]
[You’re amazing, Sister System! You can find out everything. Your professional skills are definitely top-notch.]
The escape System replied shyly: [I’m not that good as Big Brother M says. We’re in the service industry, and it’s our duty to serve the players well.]
Bai Lixin: [What a profound realization. Sister System understands everything, while some old systems have been around for so many years and still don’t get it. Sigh.]
S419M: […]
‘Silence is golden, silence is silver. The more one says, the more one’s wrong. I’m just a mute.’
Since Chen Ping’s soul left the room, there have been no more supernatural occurrences.
Bai Lixin turned off the lights and fell asleep in a daze.
The moon outside the window had dimmed significantly in the dark red sky, losing its mysterious and cold brilliance.
Outside, the city was still in a lively.
The roads were still bustling with traffic, neon lights flickering and dancing, and the square was filled with busy and bustling figures.
The bustling city was like an excited youth, never resting.
A day has 24 hours, and it celebrates enthusiastically for all 24 hours.
It seems to never know fatigue.
Bai Lixin curled up on the sofa, sleeping soundly.
In the dark silence, a shadow sneaked in through the door crack and quietly crawled to Bai Lixin’s side.
At first, the shadow was melded with the floor, but when it arrived next to Bai Lixin, it slowly rose from the ground.
A long and slender tail adorned with beautiful scales extended from the shadow and gently wrapped around Bai Lixin’s ankle…
The moonlight outside shone into the room, revealing the shadow’s true appearance.
It was a completely silver snake, looking as thick as a man’s wrist and about four meters long.
The silver snake quietly climbed along the young man’s ankle and, in a moment, arrived in front of him.
A pair of ruby-like red pupils gazed at the sleeping young man’s face from a distance. After about ten seconds, the silver snake lowered its body and placed its ice-cold head against the young man’s neck.
The silver snake opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs and a crimson forked tongue.
The forked tongue brushed against the young man’s slender neck, while the sharp fangs moved back and forth along his blue veins, as if searching for the perfect opportunity to strike.
It followed the veins from the neck to the collarbone, finally finding the right spot to attack.
Turning its soft body, the silver snake slowly crawled into the young man’s collar…
A strange sensation of heat surged, and Bai Lixin frowned slightly, uttering a low moan of discomfort.
He felt a bit dazed and unreal, as if he was dreaming of Dijia.
Dreaming that Dijia took him to a mysterious room, doing things they shouldn’t do.
His body became increasingly uncomfortable.
After an uncontrollable surge of heat, he forced himself to open his eyes, breathing out a heavy sigh.
He had been dreaming.
It seemed like a spring dream.
But the next moment, the strange sensation on his body made Bai Lixin instantly alert.
Something was entwined around him.
He tentatively reached out to touch it, only to feel the cold and rough texture of scales.
Could it be… a snake?
His breath stagnated as he looked down, and there, a beautiful silver snake that came from nowhere, was now entwined around him, raising its triangular head to meet his gaze with its red eyes.
Its slender tongue hissed, making a “s-s-s” sound.
Bai Lixin stared at the silver snake for three seconds before suddenly sitting up, reaching for the snake with lightning speed.
However, fast as he was, the snake was even faster.
With a slight tilt of its head, the somewhat naïve-looking triangular head easily slid under Bai Lixin’s arm. At the same time, the silver snake’s tail quickly tightened, and within a few seconds, it had somehow coiled up Bai Lixin’s arm and leg completely.
S419M: [“Real Snaking.”]
Bai Lixin rolled his eyes in his mind: [If you were a reliable system, would I have been entangled this much?]
S419M: [Um, I’m sorry, Lord Host, its concealment was too strong, and I didn’t notice its presence at all.]
Its voice was somewhat scared: [This was really frightening. Fortunately, the snake had no intention of harming you; otherwise… Rest assured, Lord Host, I will definitely improve my detection ability, and today’s incident won’t happen again.]
Escape System: [I apologize, Master Bai Lixin, I didn’t detect its appearance either.]
[It’s not your fault,] Bai Lixin calmly analyzed the situation. [If it had any malicious intentions, we would have noticed it. Let’s see what it wants to do. So far, I haven’t sensed any malice.]
Bai Lixin lay on the sofa, completely unable to move due to the snake entwining him.
However, the snake didn’t do anything excessive; for the next few hours, it simply coiled around Bai Lixin, resting its soft head on his chest, and drooping its head to sleep.
Because it was afraid Bai Lixin would try to escape, its body still entwined around him the entire time.
In a daze, Bai Lixin even felt like he was being used as a bed by the silver snake.
At 7:30 in the morning, the silver snake finally lifted its head with a puzzled expression.
Bai Lixin wasn’t particularly fond of snakes, perhaps because he had encountered too many in the last copy, leaving him with a psychological shadow. However, the one before him was quite beautiful.
As the room gradually brightened in the morning light, the sunlight fell on the sofa, and the silver snake’s body immediately emitted a faint white light.
It had a rounded triangular head, and its pair of red eyes were like the most exquisite rubies, beautiful and noble.
Bai Lixin and the silver snake locked eyes for a few seconds. Just as the snake’s cuteness was making him feel embarrassed, the silver snake suddenly extended its forked tongue, affectionately brushing against Bai Lixin’s cheek.
After the affectionate gesture, the silver snake released Bai Lixin, slowly and gracefully gliding to the door. Its body then turned into a black shadow, disappearing beneath the door.
Watching the silver snake leave, Bai Lixin also stood up from the sofa.
Although he had spent the night being coiled by the snake, he didn’t feel any numbness or soreness in his body. The snake initially restrained him, but then relaxed its grip, maintaining the coiled position.
With his shirt buttons undone, the snake had been lying on his chest all night.
Throughout the night, all he felt was the slightly cold body of the silver snake.
On the other hand, the silver snake must have sensed his warm body temperature.
Bai Lixin put the cloth pouch and talismans in the system backpack, washed his face in the bathroom, tidied his clothes, and by the time he was done, it was precisely 8 o’clock in the morning.
The system’s voice rang out as scheduled.
[Ding! It’s now 8 o’clock in the morning. Good morning, Sleep Tester Bai Lixin. Congratulations on completing your first career task. Your personal rest time is from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Please rest assured and patiently wait for your second career task.]
[The career task will be released by 7 p.m. at the latest. Looking forward to seeing you tonight. Goodbye!]
[You can now safely leave the room.]
As the system’s voice disappeared, Bai Lixin had just reached the entrance.
The pig’s head was still hanging, and he didn’t touch the notebook computer, but he took the phone with him and put it in his backpack.
Pushing open the door and stepping out, Bai Lixin straightened the slightly wrinkled collar and walked familiarly to the elevator.
He had just stood at the entrance of the elevator when he heard the sound of the doors opening not far away.
The elevator was slowly descending, and when it reached the twelfth floor, a figure appeared behind Bai Lixin.
Bai Lixin cast a sidelong glance, only to see that it was the strangely dressed black-clothed man from yesterday.
The man still dressed the same way: black windbreaker, black sunglasses, black hat, black mask.
Fully wrapped up.
Bai Lixin: “…”
Is there no one else on this floor? Why is it just the two of them, meeting again and again?
Although he wasn’t very close to this person and there was some distance between them, he felt a cold breath.
As he secretly glanced at the man, the elevator slowly arrived.
With a “ding,” the elevator doors opened.
This time, there weren’t only the two of them inside; there were two more people.
A man and a woman holding hands. They seemed to be a couple.
When they saw the elevator open on the eighth floor, the two of them froze for a moment and were even startled.
However, after seeing Bai Lixin’s face, they relaxed again.
Bai Lixin and the black-clothed man entered the elevator one after the other, and the elevator doors closed, slowly descending.
Inside the elevator, it was somewhat silent.
The girl seemed cheerful. When the elevator reached the fifth floor, she couldn’t help but speak to Bai Lixin, “Hey, handsome, you seem unfamiliar here. Did you just move in to this floor?”
Bai Lixin turned back and smiled at the girl, “No, I’m here for work.”
The girl was a bit curious, “Work?”
She looked at Bai Lixin’s handsome face and then glanced at the black-clothed man. Her gaze became subtle, “Well, there’s no distinction between jobs, all are good.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
S419M: [Lord Host, why does he look strange? He seems a little foolish. Did he become crazy after some stimulation?]
Bai Lixin: [I’m also a bit puzzled.]
He stared at Chen Ping for two seconds, then changed his address when he spoke again: “Little puppy.”
