After Ji Zhiyuan’s words fell, Ruan Qing was immediately stunned, a trace of astonishment appearing in his eyes.
...Was Ji Zhiyuan’s personality always been like this?
It didn’t seem like it?
Did something happen during the period he hadn’t seen the other?
Not only was Ruan Qing shocked, but their own streamer also shocked the audience in the live stream room.
Especially those who had been watching Ji Zhiyuan’s live stream from the start.
[Is it possible for our streamer to say such... straightforward words!? I really didn’t expect our streamer to be this kind of person. It’s all because the streamer usually dresses so well. Wait, streamer, could it be that you were suddenly possessed?]
[Talking about possession, back in the <First High School> instance, I felt something strange. He should have died in that midnight twelve o’clock exam, but he came out alive. Could it be that he’s a substitute puppet for someone?]
[Am I the only one who noticed the beauty’s reaction? The streamer seems to have guessed it, huh? So, does the pen spirit really want to possess him? Wow~ the plot suddenly becomes exciting, doing whatever it wants with an unseen existence (blushing face.jpg).]
[If I hadn’t seen Beauty classmate before, I would have thought it was especially absurd. How could a boss-level existence like the pen spirit be interested in anyone? But after seeing Beauty classmate, I feel it’s very reasonable. Who can resist such a beauty!]
Ji Zhiyuan observed the young man in front of him, noticing the paleness of his face and the tension in his body, confirming that his guess was accurate.
His eyes darkened, and a hint of imperceptible danger crept into his voice. “Did ‘he’ have his way with you last night?”
After Ji Zhiyuan finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Ruan Qing to respond. Instead, he directly looked at the pocket where Ruan Qing had just put something and asked coldly, “So, today you bought condoms in the name of your roommate?”
Although Ji Zhiyuan’s words were in the form of a question, his tone was very affirmative.
The information provided in the instance clearly emphasized ‘him,’ indicating that the spirit’s gender was most likely male.
At least it was a male before death.
It was probably because of this that he spared the person in front of him.
Otherwise, with the level of this person’s incompetence, it would have been impossible to survive last night.
And how could a normal person buy condoms for their roommate unless it was for personal use?
Ruan Qing’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He helplessly pursed his lips, tightened the hand holding the plastic bag a bit, and his slender fingers had begun to turn white.
After a while, he loosened his grip slightly, shook his head.
“What does shaking your head mean?” Ji Zhiyuan looked at the youth in front of him, steadily advancing, and spoke with a hint of dominance and pressure. “Are you saying ‘he’ didn’t get on top of you?”
“Or is it that you didn’t buy condoms for this reason?”
“...No.” Ruan Qing bit his lower lip, tears swirling in his eyes, as if he might break down and cry in the next second. Even his voice carried a hint of fear. “He didn’t... succeed.”
“The condoms...are for my roommate.”
The young man’s words clearly acknowledged that the pen spirit really wanted to do that kind of thing to him, but the spirit not succeedin and the condoms for the roommate should be real.
After all, the young man indeed showed no signs of being violated.
If he had really been violated, he probably wouldn’t be able to get out of bed in the morning, let alone go to class.
The pressure on Ji Zhiyuan’s body dissipated slightly, and he spoke affirmatively, “So, ‘he’ really wants to be with you.”
Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment, but eventually, under Ji Zhiyuan’s gaze, he nodded pitifully.
At this moment, the tears in his eyes finally fell like broken pearls, dripping down one by one.
Most people would probably collapse when encountering such a thing.
Whether it’s being entangled by a ghost or being chosen by one.
And telling someone about this shameful matter would be even more difficult.
But the original owner would definitely choose to endure the shame and speak out because Ji Zhiyuan’s behavior was too unusual; he seemed to know everything.
The original owner obviously would see Ji Zhiyuan as a lifesaver.
Ruan Qing didn’t resist either. After all, mixing into a team of players would definitely be much better than fighting alone.
And he could also avoid Shen Yu’an, that pervert.
Ji Zhiyuan looked at the young man, who was crying so hard, and spoke faintly, “You shouldn’t naively think that if the ghost is interested in you, you won’t die, right?”
Ji Zhiyuan looked at the frightened young man with stiff limbs, his eyes showing certainty as he spoke. “Only when you die, can you forever accompany him.”
Ruan Qing widened his eyes at the other’s words, his delicate face devoid of any color, his trembling body filled with fear.
He looked extremely pitiful.
Ji Zhiyuan wasn’t lying to the young man with his words.
Being chosen by a ghost was never a good thing; in fact, ghosts would even prioritize killing the person they were interested in.
In the infinite game, this kind of thing had happened many times before.
Some players deliberately try to lure ghosts, hoping to gain their protection and survive until the end of the game.
However, without exception, they were all killed, even faster than other players.
Because the lifespans of ghosts and humans were not equal.
The only way to permanently keep someone was to kill them.
Some ghosts were also good at deceiving people; it’s not easy to manipulate them, as they had long lost human emotions.
The so-called love was nothing more than the excitement of wanting to kill the other person.
Moreover, the more powerful the ghost, the heavier the yin energy on its body. Ordinary humans could not withstand that yin energy and would ultimately face death.
So even if the pen spirit didn’t take action, just frequently engaging in intimate activities with the young man would be unbearable for the other.
From the moment the pen spirit entangled him, the only thing awaiting the young man was death.
Unless, before the young man died, the spirit was dealt with.
Ji Zhiyuan looked at the extremely fragile young man in front of him and said in a deep voice, “I can help you.”
“Really... really?” Ruan Qing raised his head to look at Ji Zhiyuan, his wet eyes filled with a hint of hope, like a drowning person grasping the last piece of driftwood.
Under Ruan Qing’s gaze, Ji Zhiyuan nodded affirmatively.
Perhaps it was Ji Zhiyuan’s affirmation that gave the young man a sense of security. His eyes finally showed a glimmer of light and hope, and his crying became less pitiful.
He even wiped away his tears, making himself look less vulnerable and miserable.
The young man was so innocent that he didn’t even consider whether the person in front of him was deceiving him. Instead, his beautiful eyes revealed a bit more reliance and trust in Ji Zhiyuan.
Clearly, he fully believed Ji Zhiyuan’s words.
The audience in the livestream room couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
[Is the streamer really heartless? How could he deceive such a beautiful person? Can he really help when he caught the attention of the boss? Can he really help at all?]
[I thought it was the beginning of a love story, but it turns out it’s manipulation. Is the streamer trying to use the beauty to monitor the boss? Oh, he might also extract information about boss from the beauty. It’s like killing two birds with one stone. But, streamer, you’re really heartless to deceive such a beautiful person. You will face consequences!]
