Chapter 168: Substitute Life
The young anchor was still in ecstasy.
His mind was racing. Since he was going to live here permanently in the future, could he try to cooperate with these two for the sake of his live broadcast plan?
His light grey eyes rolled around, and one could tell at a glance that he had some good idea.
But Mo Weiqian didn't care. What he wanted was to have his own little plan.
Naya didn't react at all. He just rummaged through the drawers in front of the small wooden table. Finally, he seemed to remember something, opened the closet and took out the crumpled check-in booklet from the secret compartment.
Shao Nan, who was lying under the bed, happened to witness the whole process of the case:
"......"
Luckily I listened to the boss and hid inside. As soon as he opened the door, he glared at me. That was the end of it...
Naya casually flipped through a one-bedroom apartment and handed it to the young anchor without even raising his eyelids, his attention completely focused on Mo Weiqian who was sitting on the bed with his hands clasped.
The young anchor didn't know what this meant, but he probably wanted him to sign. He still wanted to see the room type, but for some reason, he didn't dare to provoke this cold-tempered security guard, so he could only weakly say to Mo Weiqian:
"Hey, young man, I still want to see the room type before checking in. Can you trouble your boyfriend to show me the way?"
"All the same." Naya interrupted coldly. Perhaps the soft voice he had just spoken to Mo Weiqian was just his illusion. This man must have been born to be so cold and hard.
The young anchor's forehead was covered with sweat. He wanted to say something, but he saw the molten golden eyes staring at him. His vision seemed to blur for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he found that he had signed his name on 1024.
The young anchor only felt as if her whole body was immersed in ice water, and something cold and eerie was climbing up from under her feet.
The hairs on his back suddenly stood up, as if he was alert to some ferocious beast lurking in the dark.
At this moment, he regretted coming to this apartment.
"I...can go now..." He didn't care about taking pictures anymore. The only thought in his mind was to escape from here. Anyway, he didn't pay any money, so it couldn't be considered as officially staying here. He just wrote his name on the place.
"Of course." Mo Weiqian smiled at him with his eyes narrowed gently, "This is just a registration, but you'd better go to your own residence first."
"Why...why?" The young anchor was a little panicked, and couldn't help wanting to know the reason, but he regretted it as soon as he asked it, after all, he was afraid...
This Jiasheng Apartment has the reputation of being a haunted apartment where people can only enter but not exit.
He won’t be unable to leave after writing his name.
No, no, no, it's impossible. Don't scare yourself.
Seeing that he was pale, Mo Weiqian added more firewood. His voice was gentle and low:
"Because... this is the building that selects people..."
There was a loud bang.
The young anchor fell off his chair. He wanted to run but was too panicked and fell directly off the chair.
Seeing him like this, Naya's face immediately turned gloomy. He picked up the chair and checked it. He would not allow others to destroy his things.
When Mo Weiqian saw him like that, he knew that his puppy marking syndrome had come back, but he couldn't let him ruin his plan.
"Oh, why did you fall? Are you okay? Look at you, I was just trying to scare you, but you still fell."
"It's okay, don't worry about me. I...I'll leave first."
After saying that, the young anchor ran out of the security room without looking back. When he left, he felt that the day was completely different from when he came in. It was so dizzy that it looked like the sky was about to fall down.
Shao Nan heard no more noise and crawled out from under the bed.
"Boss, you just let him go like that?"
"He can't run away. He will come back."
"Oh? How can you say that?"
Mo Weiqian picked up the registration list on the table and threw it to Shao Nan: "Look for yours."
Shao Nan understood what he meant and started looking for his own name.
Mo Weiqian glanced at Naya who was still feeling sorry for the chair. Judging from his crazy look, he seemed to be planning to cut the kid into pieces.
"Okay, no, that's not the case. He didn't have enough strength to break the chair. He was so scared that he flew away."
Naya glanced at the young man with a look of resentment.
Mo Weiqian immediately shut up, it was his fault for bringing that person in.
Shao Nan: "Fuck, Boss, I found mine, and Qingqing and I have our names written side by side at 1214."
Mo Weiqian: "Let me see."
Mo Weiqian took the list and said, "I can't see your name. It seems that only you can see your own name. Only the NPC's information is public in the list."
Shao Nan exclaimed: "That means we can't find Wei Jie again."
Mo Weiqian nodded: "We can only wait a little longer."
Shao Nan sighed: "But that wood has a life-saving prop. If it is used, it will cause quite a lot of noise. It seems that he should be able to handle the situation now."
"Bang bang bang-"
"Help me—"
"Please be kind, my lords, and open the door for us."
The little anchor's scream came from outside the door. Mo Weiqian was about to step forward to open the door, but was blocked by the tall Naya.
"He is not allowed to come into my house again."
Mo Weiqian understood and nodded: "Then let's go out."
"You...don't let you go." Naya's heterochromatic pupils were full of seriousness, causing Mo Weiqian to laugh out loud.
At this point in the play, Mo Weiqian felt that it was a bit too much. He looked fearlessly into the eyes that had been staring at him since he entered the game and said:
"You came here just to stop me right now? Lord Evil God, your method is a bit childish."
"Since you have memories, why are you pretending to be a pure and innocent girl? Are you kidding me?"
The moment Mo Weiqian opened his mouth, thick red fog surrounded the two of them, forming a separate barrier that isolated all sounds from the outside world.
Naya sneered, "I'm not pretending... I just wanted to see if my little believer's words are true or not."
"Last time I had no choice but to plot against me at the hands of the Mother Goddess. I wanted to see what choice you would make here."
"Nature chooses you."
Mo Weiqian's clear dark pupils were filled with affection. "Since my bishop knows my painstaking efforts, and I have gained the power to protect myself in the dungeon, it is a good thing for you and me. After all, it is more advantageous for a free person like me to deal with the system, isn't it?"
"Oh, you are very eloquent."
Naya's eyes were like those of a poisonous snake, sizing up this eloquent little liar.
Mo Weiqian didn't care at all. He just stood on tiptoe and gently put his ear to Naya's ear. "I know what you are looking for. The principal in the previous copy... that person's heart is too dirty. He is not worthy of you. I will find you a better one."
There was no trace of falsehood in the affection in Mo Weiqian's burning eyes.
Naya lightly lifted the young man's chin with his fingertips: "It depends on your performance."
The red waves stopped rolling, and the anxious Shao Nan began to grit his teeth and touch his only S-level prop. At this time, the boss came out intact. Before he could say anything, he was slapped by Naya and closed in the closet. The wooden door opened automatically, and the little anchor rolled and crawled and cried:
"My benefactor, my benefactor, you have to save me, you must know something, I really can't get out, save me, I don't want to die, my benefactor!!"
Wow, this combo makes him kneel down and cry.
"Don't panic..." Mo Weiqian was dragged by him and couldn't stand steadily. He was speechless.
"boom--"
Naya kicked him, causing him to turn in the air. When he came down again, he was kneeling obediently without any unnecessary movements.
Upon closer inspection, the child had cried until he was hoarse, he was completely frightened.
"Well, don't panic. Listen to me carefully and then decide whether to do this or not."
The little anchor's head is like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I'm not a tenant here, but... you've seen the current situation of this apartment. People who are chosen by the building can't leave... Well, if I could, I wouldn't want to use this method, but you see my husband is tied to this building, and I can't choose."
"Otherwise, if you look at his appearance, why would we have to stay in this house and suffer injustice?"
Mo Weiqian said bitterly.
"Yes, you two are both gifted with divine presence. It seems that this haunted building really does eat people. Help." He realized the seriousness of the matter and could not help crying out to the sky.
"But you still have a chance!"
"Me? Really??"
He excitedly wanted to stand up and hold Mo Weiqian's hand, but was forced back by Naya's eyes.
"Of course it's true. I have a secret method. As long as you exchange your identity with me, I can move into this building for you, and then you can get out."
