“Ugh—!”
Along with a twisting pain in her chest, Xia Che abruptly sat up from the sofa, her right hand instinctively clutching her heart, gasping for air.
A little soft.
Uh… that’s not the point, the point is I’m not dead?
No, I’m in a game!
Xia Che quickly realized that her current body was not her real-world body.
She summoned the game system.
“Exit game?”
“Do you want to exit the game?”
“Yes/No”
Thankfully, the exit option was still there, and it wasn’t like Sword Art Online where she was trapped in this game world.
The dizziness in her head still hadn’t faded, and Xia Che felt a bit troubled.
The protagonist, who she was supposed to save, actually stabbed her to death!
The first time she played, this was clearly just a beginner’s storyline where she could easily bring that girl home.
Xu Yiran was bullied, the protagonist stepped in, she was homeless, and after bringing her home, a shameless life began.
Although she had only interacted with this pixel-style girl through her phone, after a week of understanding, Xia Che also knew her personality.
Quiet, weak, hesitant to speak, afraid to look up—a pitiful type that easily made one’s heart ache.
Is this the so-called increase in difficulty, where character personalities and actions are also uncontrollable?
As Xia Che pondered, she suddenly remembered that, like normal SLG games, the protagonist in the game could act during the morning, noon, evening, night, and late night.
And in the storyline, it was in the evening phase, after chasing away a pervert for that girl, that she easily brought the girl home.
But now, it was noon.
Xia Che thought for a long time and decided to go out again to see that alley, but this time she didn’t intend to approach the girl.
But as she got up, she realized a problem she had overlooked in her haste.
This living room… no, even the scenery around the Moli Community, and the routes, were exactly the same as in her real world!
It was completely like a one-to-one replica, the only difference seemed to be that he had become her.
She turned around and took out her ID card.
Xia Che, Female, 2004.01.17…
Even her name and date of birth hadn’t changed.
“Hiss!”
Xia Che thought of something else and ran into the bathroom.
A few minutes later.
She pulled up her pants and walked out, a little red-faced.
This game was a bit terrifying; after changing bodies, even a small pink birthmark on her butt was reproduced.
There was no other way; to confirm further, she had to self-examine two or three more times.
Well, although she didn’t dislike this body, it was full of vitality, and what should be curvy was curvy, a 9 out of 10 for looks, and she was a bare-faced beauty.
Cough, it was just that her chest felt heavy, and she wasn't used to it.
As she pondered, she went downstairs; the Moli Community's scenery was the same as in reality, even the old man dozing off on duty was a very familiar face.
Stepping out of the Moli Community, Xia Che saw Aunt Wang from the breakfast shop, who was very enthusiastic.
Aunt Wang also caught sight of Xia Che, waved, and shouted with her loud voice, “Xiao Che! Just woke up again, huh? Aunt Wang saved you a portion of breakfast; if you’re any later, Aunt Wang will close up shop.”
In the identity of a girl, Xia Che walked over a little awkwardly, “Thank you, Aunt Wang.”
“Why are you being so polite, child?” Aunt Wang handed Xia Che the packed steamed buns and soy milk. Just as Xia Che was about to scan the code to take them, she heard Aunt Wang’s words take a turn.
“Xiao Che, how are things with your girlfriend? Tell Auntie, won’t you?”
“No…” Xia Che’s hand trembled, almost dropping her phone.
She looked down at her prominent chest, her eyes strange, “Aunt Wang, are you sure… my girlfriend?”
“Isn’t she?” Aunt Wang looked puzzled, “That young lady surnamed Chen, the one who likes to wear a lot of makeup.”
“Auntie says that girl is too materialistic; she really isn’t suitable for Xiao Che. Auntie knows a good young man, three years older than you, currently studying for his master’s degree. Do you want to consider him?”
Xia Che was silent.
She knew the person Aunt Wang mentioned with the surname Chen was her ex-girlfriend.
It’s just, it’s one thing for her to be her girlfriend in reality.
Does this game also 100% replicate the relationships of people around her in reality?
But in this game, I’m a girl!
She couldn’t understand it, nor did she know how to answer.
After a quick laugh, she quickly fled the scene.
She arrived at the alley she remembered.
The Moli Community, where she lived, was located on the edge of University Town. Inward was Kyushu University, where she studied, and behind it were the marginal alleys caused by nearby unfinished buildings.
Those who understand these kinds of alleys know.
Stray animals;
Homeless beggars;
Including potentially existing virus carriers;
If lucky, you might even encounter cute student brothers in desperate need of money.
She didn’t walk inside; even at the mouth of the alley, she could already smell faint foul odors emanating from it.
Peering in, it was dark inside, and she couldn’t see anyone, only some faint sobbing carried by the wind.
It was the girl’s crying.
Xia Che glanced at the main quest in the game system again.
“If I don’t approach her first, I won’t get stabbed again, right? Communication should be possible?”
She stepped inside, her flat shoes treading on the slightly damp, uneven concrete ground.
The cold wind blowing straight from the front felt like someone was breathing in her ear, making Xia Che slightly uncomfortable.
She quickly reached the center of the alley and saw Xu Yiran, wearing a tattered, plain white long dress. She was squat sitting next to a trash can, her hands wrapped around her folded legs, her head bowed to her knees.
Her disheveled long hair covered half of her profile and hung down from her shoulders, her figure thin.
She was so small.
From any angle, she didn’t appear to be a threat.
But it was this very girl who had stabbed her in the previous loop.
Perhaps hearing footsteps, Xu Yiran immediately looked up nervously at Xia Che, her body tensing in an instant, and she continuously pressed herself against the wall.
Her eyes were panicked, and there were still unshed tears in the corners of her eyes. Her dirty little face was incredibly taut, baring her teeth like a startled kitten.
Xia Che guessed that the girl was triggered.
She took a deep breath, slightly opened her hands to show she was harmless, and tried to make her voice sound gentle, “I don’t mean any harm. I just… I just heard crying and saw you here alone, so I came in to check.”
She still didn’t follow the script’s dialogue in the game.
The current plot development was different from the first loop.
In this game, she had become extremely free!
However, her words did not erase the girl’s wariness.
Xia Che took another step forward.
However, that small step caused Xu Yiran to go crazy, immediately pulling out the self-defense fruit knife from her Pregnant arms.
“Don’t come any closer—!”
The blood-stained blade gleamed coldly, pointing directly at Xia Che.
From a distance, one could still see the girl’s shoulders trembling continuously, even her small hand holding the knife was unsteady.
Whether from fear or courage, her tightly bitten lower lip had begun to slightly bleed.
Xia Che quickly retreated two steps, pressing her hands down as she said, “Okay, okay, I won’t come over. Please don’t get agitated, okay? I’m not a bad person. I’m here to… Xu Yiran, I’m here to help you!”
