Chapter 544: You are really too selfish

The game changed everyone.

Fu Miaoxue still looked like the domineering and arrogant lady she used to be, but she was no longer just his lady.

She changed.

Du Lai knew he had changed too.

Perhaps because people are prone to change, they always prefer to pursue things that are eternal, such as a promise, a pact, or companionship…

Du Lai hugged Fu Miaoxue gently.

Her body wasn’t as soft as a living person’s now, and her hair only smelled of plastic.

“Once this game is over, let’s head to the maze as soon as possible.” Du Lai said softly, “The maze can upgrade everyone’s stats, it should be able to turn you back.”

“What if it can’t?” Fu Miaoxue asked.

Du Lai loosened his embrace a bit, looked seriously at her and said: “If it can’t, we will find another way. If there’s an item to revive a player, there must be a way to turn a doll back into a human.”

“Perhaps there is, perhaps not.” Fu Miaoxue gave a light laugh, held Du Lai’s hand, and said calmly, “Du Lai, promise me something.”

Du Lai raised his brows slightly.

Fu Miaoxue said: “Promise me, if… if I die, don’t save me again.”

Du Lai stared at her.

But Fu Miaoxue suddenly laughed, her doll’s glass eyeballs revealed a hint of liveliness that only a living person would have.

“If I am killed by Bai Youwei, you can avenge me, after all, it shows your love for me~” She said with a grin, “But never ever revive me again! Living like this, I’d rather die! It’s too frustrating!~”

Du Lai’s face was taut and he remained silent.

She continued to whine: “If I die again, don’t save me, okay? Du Lai~~ You are the best to me~~~ Promise me~~~”

Du Lai slowly took a deep breath…

Then he asked her: “Then what about me?”

“You?” Fu Miaoxue was slightly surprised, “…You, of course, should live on with my love! Remember not to cheat~ otherwise, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost!”

Du Lai forced a smile.

He neither refused nor agreed, but only replied: “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die.”

“How can you be so selfish?!” Fu Miaoxue looked upset, her eyes wide in anger, “Because you love me, you won’t let me die? You are really selfish!”

“Maybe dying together here isn’t too bad.” Du Lai laughed, “Your plan might not work.”

“Don’t jinx it.” Fu Miaoxue became even more upset, “I’m doing all this for you, aren’t I? Only if something happens to Bai Youwei, can we get her item and puzzle piece! Sigh, I wonder if she has realised it yet…”

“Most likely,” Du Lai looked out at the village beyond the woods, “But even if she realized it, she probably wouldn’t know what’s going on.”

Plop.

A droplet of water landed on Fu Miaoxue’s cheek.

She looked up at the moist leaves in the sky and said quietly: “It’s going to rain again.”

As long as it rained, the corpse-moving woman would be coming soon.

Du Lai stood up and pat the mud off his clothing, “Let’s go, it’s time for us to get moving.”

Fu Miaoxue picked up the Spirit Plate and looked at it.

—The spirit position of Liu Yanruo.

If she wasn’t wrong, this Liu Yanruo was the corpse-moving woman, Mrs. Li.

Use the Spirit Plate to lead the way, bring Liu Yanruo back to that “tomb”, and let the leaves return to their roots, then everything in this village will truly end!

…Of course, timing is also important.

They could only make a move when Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were asleep.

As Fu Miaoxue thought about this, she slowed down her pace, a sense of unease started to grow in her heart.

Hmmm, this doesn’t look good…

There was… a flaw in this plan.
