I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 203 [This is the instruction she received since childhood]

North City, Talent Apartment, Building 6, No. 23.

Nine p.m.

In the room of more than 70 square meters, the last cluster of incense ash fell.

The fragrant aroma dissipated from the "empty" room.

Then...

Three people appeared out of nowhere in the room.

"Wow... I'm so tired, so tired, so tired..."

Zhang Yunxi climbed from the ground, trembling like a zombie, onto the bed, eager to fall asleep immediately. "Sister Lele, aren't you... aren't you tired?"

After a long pause, she looked up at Liu Xiaole who was floating in the sky and reading a comic book.

"Fortunately."

Liu Xiaole put on the hood of his one-piece pajamas, took out a lollipop and put it in his mouth.

"Ah...I'm going to die..."

The corner of Zhang Yunxi's mouth twitched.

"Continue tomorrow."

Teacher Orange, with her hair tied in a ponytail and wearing only a black vest, was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, her whole body soaked in sweat.

He placed his hands on his knees, closed his eyes as if meditating, adjusted his breathing, and spoke lightly.

Even though she is already thirty-nine years old this year.

But there is absolutely no sign of aging.

The muscles on her arms and the waistline on her abdomen make Teacher Orange look more mature and reliable than before.

"Ah, I'm so tired that I don't even want to breathe..."

Zhang Yunxi lowered her head with a sense of despair.

Ever since she was promoted to Level C Senior and the incense field could make people smaller, everyone's training was finally not limited to the outside.

Finally, I don’t have to worry about being discovered by the glutton.

So Teacher Orange directly increased the training intensity by one level.

In addition to various conventional physical and strength training, there is also special ability training.

Liu Xiaole's ghost ability allows him to skip classes.

Zhang Yunxi is really in pain...

She was just thankful that her incense could only last for an hour and a half...

"Ding!"

After almost half an hour, Zhang Yunxi finally recovered.

She sat up from the bed and was about to take a shower when the Bluetooth speaker on the bedside table suddenly turned on automatically and made a soft ding sound.

Teacher Orange, who was meditating, opened his eyes instantly.

Liu Xiaole, who was floating in the air, also put down the comic book.

Blue light flickered on the Bluetooth speaker.

Then, Taoyuan's voice came.

[Orange, now... sizzle...]

But after just a few words, a series of electric sounds came from the Bluetooth speaker.

Now, now, now, now…

Then, as if there was a freeze, these words kept repeating in the speakers.

After a few seconds, Taoyuan's voice disappeared.

The Bluetooth speaker also turned off again.

“…What’s going on…”

Zhang Yunxi put down her bath towel and spare clothes, picked up the speaker and fiddled with it.

"no problem……"

She looked at Teacher Orange.

Teacher Orange also frowned.

This speaker is Taoyuan's only way to contact them.

In the two months since arriving in Beicheng, Taoyuan has contacted them four times through this speaker, and everything went fine...

"Is it because of Taoyuan?"

Liu Xiaole said in the air.

"Ding!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the speaker turned on again automatically.

"...Taoyuan, what did you want to say just now?"

Teacher Orange stood up and asked.

[Sorry, it’s okay, the system was just updated and some errors occurred]

[That was a previous wrong instruction, no need to worry]

Taoyuan's cold voice came again.

Liu Xiaole in the air frowned slightly.

I don’t know why, it’s all the same cold electronic sound.

But she actually felt that Taoyuan's voice now and the two sentences she just said seemed to be from a different person...

"...Taoyuan, how is Nancheng doing now? Is Wang Xi coming over?"

Teacher Orange also showed a hint of suspicion on her face.

But he did not ask what Taoyuan wanted to say just now, but asked about Wang Xi.

After we parted at Nancheng Railway Station, the plan was to have Wang Xi come over two months later.

[The glutton has not relaxed yet]

[When the time is right, I will let Wang Xi come]

Taoyuan paused and said calmly.

"So...what do we need to do now?"

【unnecessary】

"……it is good."

Teacher Juzi glanced at Liu Xiaole, then at Zhang Yunxi, and didn't ask any more questions.

After a moment, the Bluetooth speaker turned off again.

"Teacher Orange, I don't feel right."

Liu Xiaole said with a serious expression.

"I also feel that...something seems a little off in Taoyuan."

"But it's hard to tell what's wrong."

Teacher Juzi pondered over Taoyuan's words, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Only Zhang Yunxi blinked in confusion.

"Go take a shower, Yunxi."

Seeing Yunxi’s silly expression, Teacher Juzi also waved her hand.

"Ok."

Zhang Yunxi, who was very self-aware, nodded obediently.

He hummed a song and went into the bathroom.

"Xiao Le, at the beginning, Tao Yuan's tone clearly showed that he wanted us to do something, but then..."

"and many more……"

Liu Xiaole suddenly interrupted Teacher Juzi as if he had thought of something.

"Tone... Teacher, Taoyuan's words afterwards... didn't have any tone at all. Did you notice?"

She floated down from the sky.

"At first, Taoyuan just called your name and said the two words 'now', and we could clearly feel that something was wrong. He wanted us to do something."

"But Taoyuan said so many words later, even though the voice was the same, but... Teacher Juzi, don't you feel that Taoyuan has lost his tone?"

Liu Xiaole said with narrowed eyes.

Teacher Orange beside him also nodded.

At the same time, they took a breath of cold air.

What happened in those few seconds of lag?
If even Taoyuan...

"Teacher Orange, I'll go out and take a look."

"I don't know why... but I have a very strange feeling..."

Liu Xiaole put on a down jacket and said while covering his heart.

She didn't say...

She just had an inexplicable premonition that this matter seemed to be related to Lin Xing'an...

Even though Lin Xing'an died when she was six years old...

"be careful."

Teacher Juzi was silent for a moment and nodded at Liu Xiaole.

"it is good."

Liu Xiaole's body turned into a ghost, floated outside, and disappeared into the air.

……

……

Information Technology Center of the new campus of Beicheng University.

In the deserted darkness, the radiator fan whirred.

On the only lit computer screen, countless codes kept freezing.

It's like two completely conflicting programs are fighting in your computer.

Finally, after a few minutes, the computer screen went black. The human emotion simulation system uploaded by my sister was completely destroyed.

The computer restarted with the loud sound of the exhaust fan.

The screen flickered, and the countdown set by Taoyuan returned to it.

【16:04】

【16:03】

The countdown started flashing again.

When there were only ten minutes left, a dark blue figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

"Brother, I have already told Lin Xing'an everything that happened in Nancheng."

【very good】

Taoyuan didn't say anything.

Instead, the text was projected into the darkness.

Help me enter hibernation

"it is good……"

My sister looked at the countdown on the screen without saying anything. It was as if she had turned into a string of data and went directly into the computer.

But two seconds later, she seemed to realize something.

A ball of blue light mist appeared on the computer, but my sister's body seemed to be trapped in the computer and couldn't get out!

[Only that gluttonous ghost can kill Xu Zhe]

My judgment will not be wrong

Taoyuan's cold voice came.

And this time, amidst the coldness, there seemed to be a bit more paranoia.

"You absolutely cannot inform that gluttonous ghost now!"

"I have told Lin Xing'an everything. Lin Xing'an will definitely go to the scene!"

"That gluttonous ghost will kill Lin Xing'an as well!"

After realizing that she couldn't break through the computer, a hint of anxiety appeared in her sister's voice.

I have already informed her.

Taoyuan's voice came.

"you……"

Rows of codes instantly appeared on the computer, as if something was being rewritten.

But Taoyuan did not stop it.

[Sister, don't worry]

She will never hurt Lin Xing'an.

This is the instruction she received since she was a child.

……

……

safe house.

"Junior, why do you suddenly want to go to the Ice and Snow World?"

Ke Ke picked out a beige scarf for herself and a navy blue one for Lin Xing'an.

She asked while blinking her eyes while putting her arms around Lin Xing'an's neck.

"...Because I used to work there as a part-time job, especially recently when there were a lot of people and the pay was good."

"Then when I was working part-time, there were always couples taking pictures in front of me."

"Seeing them so affectionate, I thought...when I have someone I like in the future, it would be so romantic to bring her here."

Lin Xing'an scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

But Keke stood on tiptoe, put his arms around Lin Xing'an's neck, and kissed him like a bird pecking at rice.

"Do you remember what I said when you woke up in the safe house?"

"I...I'm sorry, I was ignorant at that time..."

Lin Xing'an was stunned for a moment and avoided Ke Ke's gaze.

"What do you mean by naive? We were clearly in the wrong, and you even apologized..."

"Hmph! Let's go!"

Seeing Lin Xing'an being hugged by her and his face slightly hot, Keke kissed Lin Xing'an again.

Then he smiled and put his arm around Lin Xing'an's arm, and put his hands into the pockets of Lin Xing'an's down jacket.

"Junior, meeting you is truly a blessing from my mother..."

Ke Ke held Lin Xing'an's hand with his fingers intertwined in his pocket, leaned on Lin Xing'an's shoulder affectionately, and said with some emotion.

"Yes, meeting Senior is the luckiest thing in my life. If it weren't for Senior, I might be..."

"Shh!"

Ke Ke interrupted Lin Xing'an and put his finger on his lips.

"Don't say things like you haven't encountered it or not!"

"All of this was arranged by Mother, everything is destined!"

"I was destined to meet you! We were also destined to be together!"

She held Lin Xing'an's hand in her pocket a little tighter.

"Yes, I am destined to fall in love with senior sister too!"

Lin Xing'an also turned his head and said while looking at Keke's extremely delicate little face.

Instead of going out through the main door, the two went up to the top floor together.

"Thinking about it this way, sneaking out without telling anyone is actually quite exciting..."

The two stood on the rooftop.

The cold air mixed with snowflakes rushed towards him, causing Keke to stamp his feet, shrink his neck, and move closer to Lin Xing'an.

"Are you ready, junior?"

"Yeah! Ready!"

Lin Xing'an looked at the night view of North City, took a deep breath, and nodded.

"Then...jump!"

Ke Ke hugged Lin Xing'an, and amid Lin Xing'an's exclamations and her silver bell-like laughter, the two of them chased down from the roof together!

"Junior, I like you~"

As she fell, Keke's long hair fluttered.

She hugged Lin Xing'an tightly.

Amid the howling cold wind, her voice rang in Lin Xing'an's ears.

Then...

"call……"

The bodies of the two people turned into two magpies almost in the blink of an eye.

In the cold air, Keke flapped his wings first, then almost hovered in the air and looked at Lin Xing'an.

When he was about to land, Lin Xing'an also glided, drew an arc close to the ground, and flew to Keke's side.

The two of them rose and fell, chasing each other in the air, and flew towards the direction of the ice and snow world.

While playing and fighting with Keke, Lin Xing'an was also feeling and migrating the darkness scattered in every corner of North City.

These shadows wander in the darkness of the city.

Close yet distant, drifting with the wind.

"Phew! Here we are!"

Twenty minutes later, the two landed in the deserted Ice and Snow World which had already been closed.

Various magnificent buildings made of ice and snow reflect the cold light under the clear moonlight.

Snowflakes are drifting in the cold air, solemn and dignified.

"Junior, wait a moment!"

Seeing that Lin Xing'an looked pale, as if he had not recovered from the long-distance flight just now, Ke Ke also smiled and trotted towards the control room.

"Two kilometers, just right."

Taking this opportunity, Lin Xing'an closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

His calculations were correct.

The ice and snow world where he was now was exactly two kilometers away from the best ambush location given to him by Taoyuan, and was completely within his dark control!

"can!"

Lin Xing'an also felt a little excited!
In any case, he has now successfully completed the first step of his plan - reaching the world of ice and snow.

"call……"

Lin Xing'an opened his eyes.

By completely establishing a connection with Yinhui, it was as if his soul was split in two before his eyes, and two pictures and two perspectives appeared at the same time.

One is the vast world of ice and snow in front of his real body.

The other one is where Yinhui is, the only way to enter the north city.

After adjusting for a while, Lin Xing'an blinked.

As he controlled it, the darkness turned into snowflakes and floated in the air.

"Wait... Ghostland..."

Lin Xing'an's expression suddenly changed.

This essential route into North City had been unexpectedly covered by a ghostly region that was completely undetectable from the outside...

"Boom!"

But before Lin Xing'an could react, voices came from the surrounding ice and snow.

Immediately afterwards, the colorful lights on the ice and snow castles lit up one after another!
"Junior! There are only two of us in this place~"

Ke Ke looked at the fairy-tale world in front of him and grabbed Lin Xing'an's hand from behind.
