Chapter 33: So Where's the Hu Yao? Why Is It a Dead Infant!

"I'm actually fine?"

Piao Junying was somewhat surprised, but soon, this trace of surprise was replaced by intense excitement.

Not receiving the corresponding punishment for violating the rules didn't that mean the rules appearing on the white slip of paper were wrong!

Following the hints from Xianshishijie was the completely correct thing to do!

After figuring this out, Piao Junying became even more unscrupulous!

He took a bag of cat food and a bag of food and barged into the pet room where the cat was, using his hand to shake the sleeping kitten awake directly.

"Kitty, hurry up and get up to eat!"

——Do not name the cat!

——Do not feed the cat cat food!

In this instant.

Piao Junying directly violated two rules within Guiyi Zhijia! "Meow!"

The cat let out a very eerie shriek.

It stood up like a human, staring viciously at Piao Junying with those vertical pupils. 【It's very similar to what happened in the Qian Gu Guang livestream.】

【Piao Junying and Qian Gu Guang both received hints from Xianshishijie to violate the rules, but Piao Junying has more comprehensive intelligence this time.】

【There is still a difference from Qian Gu Guang's experience; look, the cat's reaction is really too intense, isn't it?】

【Yeah. When Qian Gu Guang violated the rules, the cat just simply meowed and shed fur; it didn't look at the Destiny Person with such hostility at all.】

【Something is strange.】

【There's nothing strange about it; have you forgotten the time?】

【The time Qian Gu Guang and Piao Junying did these things is different; at night, the cat is more dangerous!】

【The cat right now is very likely not a cat, but a monster possessed by the Guiyi on the second floor.】

【The Guiyi on the second floor?】

【Is it that Hu Yao? If it's that Hu Yao, hehehe...】 As a few bullet comments flashed by, Piao Junying's actions became even more extreme.

He treated the cat very cruelly.

In order to complete the hints from Xianshishijie in the shortest amount of time, after forcing the cat to eat a few mouthfuls of cat food, he dragged it directly toward the second floor.

"Hu Yao, come out quickly!"

Arriving at the entrance of the stairwell, Piao Junying looked excitedly into the darkness.

At this moment, Piao Junying had already fantasized in his heart about the scene of spending a romantic night with the Hu Yao.

It is a pity, however... before he could truly step into the stairwell to welcome the Hu Yao of his dreams.

The Home Door suddenly had bursts of knocking.

"Knock knock... knock knock!!"

The four knocks came very rhythmically, and they were all very urgent!

【It's here!】

Instantly, the vigilance in Piao Junying's heart was pulled to the maximum! Combining the slip of paper and the hints from reality.

He knew very well that the thing knocking on the door at this time was not a human, but a monster with no face and a body full of split mouths!

Once Piao Junying opened the room door, he would suffer a terrifying attack from the monster! He was a bit afraid, but facing the monster by opening the door was a crucial link in the hints given by Xianshishijie; if he didn't do it... he might not be able to see the graceful Hu Yao!

And he wouldn't be able to obtain the immortal arts that could master Mysterious Power!

"I have already violated too many rules of the home; even one more won't matter!"

In the end.

Piao Junying convinced himself with this excuse.

After throwing that bag of food onto the second floor as the hint said, he gathered his courage and walked to the doorway, slowly... pulling open the room door.

"You, actually dare to open the door?"

It was also the very instant the room door was pulled open by Piao Junying that the disgusting, nauseating stench rushed toward his nose.

Piao Junying turned pale with rage because of this.

While holding the cat by its neck with one hand, he didn't forget to cover his nose and mouth with the other.

"Am I very disgusting?"

Piao Junying's actions immediately angered the monster outside the door.

The split mouths covering her entire body writhed simultaneously, and the monster let out a question in a voice that was extremely hoarse.

Piao Junying did not answer.

Because facing the monster directly brought him too, too much fear!

Even though he had prepared himself mentally.

Piao Junying still did not have the courage to continue moving.

At this time, he was staring at the monster before him with a face full of panic, his pupils trembling constantly.

"Boring." This action also made the monster feel deeply uninterested.

It had no intention of continuing to tease the 【food】, so it raised its thin, long arm, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Piao Junying.

"Whoosh—"

The monster's sharp claws brought bursts of air-piercing sounds and would soon reach Piao Junying's face.

At this crucial moment.

Piao Junying moved! That intense desire for life gave him the strength to take a step backward.

It was also this sudden retreat that allowed Piao Junying to dodge this attack launched by the monster! "Eh?"

The monster whose attack missed was somewhat surprised.

From the eyes of this piece of trash, what it saw was clearly profound fear.

A person shrouded in such an emotion should not have the strength to run away, so its attack launched at Piao Junying was so careless, so indifferent.

As a result, Piao Junying actually moved unexpectedly! And this slight movement happened to let him dodge the attack it had unleashed! "This time, I will not miss again."

The monster frowned; it raised its hand, preparing to launch a second attack at Piao Junying! 【Not good!】

Sirens blared deep within Piao Junying's heart.

He could be certain! The attack the monster was about to launch would never give him any chance to dodge again! He would die! Piao Junying was so scared that he closed his eyes.

【Damn Bangzi Guo!】

【As your Chosen One, you should be doing your best to help me survive!】

【Yet you used incorrect hints to mislead me!】

【Truly damn it all!】

While the monster's attack had not yet fully descended, he kept cursing Xianshishijie in his heart.

Such a scene could not help but make one think of an old acquaintance from not long ago.

As the Detective God, Qian Gu Guang originally had the ability to survive in the Strange Talk World, but he, precisely because he trusted Xianshishijie, ended up with no bones left. 【5】

【4】

【3】

【1】

Closing his eyes, while cursing Xianshishijie in his heart.

Piao Junying was also counting down.

Five seconds.

This should be the maximum time for the monster's attack to land on him.

But as this five-second countdown ended.

Piao Junying did not feel any pain, which meant the monster's attack had not yet fully landed on him.

What was going on?

Piao Junying felt a bit strange; his eyes narrowed into a slit.

He tried to see the situation clearly.

However, the scene that met his eyes shocked him somewhat!

The monster had indeed launched an attack.

However, its ghost hand, which was only nine centimeters from his forehead, was stuck by something!

——It was the rules!

Only the rules could bind the evil ghosts of Guiyi Zhijia!

【I am saved!】

Piao Junying breathed a sigh of relief, and the intense joy of surviving a disaster surged into his heart at this moment.

He could continue to live! However, there was one more thing that Piao Junying found strange: the failed monster at the door did not show any regret; instead, it looked at him with the appearance of watching a show.

The monster laughed:

"You should have obtained this vessel by now, so what, are you still not coming out?"

"Meow—!!"

Amidst the monster's questioning, the cat that Piao Junying had been holding in his hand from the very beginning suddenly let out a harsh, shrill cry.

Then!

Under the gaze of countless viewers in Xianshishijie.

The cat changed its appearance; its fur began to fall off at a speed visible to the naked eye, and skin covered in maggots was revealed—a Hu Yao?

Guiyi Zhijia never had a Hu Yao from the beginning to the end.

All there was, was an evil ghost shaped like a dead infant. (End of this chapter)
