Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 151

Chapter 151

Hua Suihe curled up on the sofa, playing on her phone. Now that she finally had some free time, her mind started working again, and she remembered running into Xia Moyi in the dungeon. By all rights, she should ask whether Xia Moyi had gotten out safely.

She had only just sent the message when she received one from Yi Shuang.

Yi Shuang: Someone named Pei Ying told me Xia Moyi was taken back by the Thriller Research Agency. She might be in danger. He asked me to tell you.

Yi Shuang: Was she talked into joining that Agency?

As the long-standing number one on the points leaderboard, Yi Shuang had been targeted by that Agency early on. But Yi Shuang had a cold personality and was used to working alone. She had never paid any attention to those people, who acted like they were running some pyramid scheme. On top of that, she was often entering dungeons, and the people pestering her couldn’t follow her in. Over time, they gave up.

Yi Shuang knew that the Agency went around looking for so-called people of great fortune. They dressed it up nicely, saying that joining the Agency would let everyone unite, allow them to protect all those people, and contribute to the study of Thriller Contamination.

Back then, even the Great City Government had established this Agency in secret, which showed that the Agency was only an experimental project. Until it produced results, it would never be made public.

After all these years, it was still a secret Agency. That alone proved that even after recruiting those so-called people of fortune, they had not accomplished anything major. Wasn’t that basically an abandoned project?

When she first heard all this from that Pei Ying guy, Yi Shuang had not wanted to bother with him. But he seemed genuinely anxious, and his only request was for her to pass the message on to Hua Suihe. He also said Hua Suihe would understand once she heard it.

It was only a matter of sending a message, so Yi Shuang contacted Hua Suihe.

Hua Suihe replied with several question marks in a row.

Yi Shuang thought, Sure enough, he’s a scammer.

Yi Shuang: Never mind. I ran into a scammer. Pretend I never said anything.

Hua Suihe: No, he isn’t a scammer. This is really bad!

Hua Suihe knocked herself on the head in frustration. She should have just dragged Xia Moyi away too back then, while she was at it. But at the time, her mind had been filled with Ye Zi’s wife. How could she have remembered anyone else?

Besides, Xia Moyi was the female lead. Whenever she encountered a fatal danger, she would be refreshed to a safe location. And yet now something like this had actually happened.

Hua Suihe had not taken Xia Moyi through the main storyline, so the plot had never progressed. But just because the main storyline had not been completed did not mean it could simply disappear.

No wonder she had not received a message from Xia Moyi even though the dungeon had ended so long ago. Given Xia Moyi’s personality, she definitely would have checked to make sure Hua Suihe was safe.

In her frustration, Hua Suihe got in touch with Pei Ying through Yi Shuang and learned the whole story.

After time in the dungeon returned to normal, Shanhu’s head hit the ground, and she remained in the dungeon forever. But those Mechanical Bugs were still active.

The instant Shanhu died, Dr. Quan knew. He took over the Mechanical Bugs Shanhu had deployed and sent them straight toward Xia Moyi. He even skipped over Pei Ying. After capturing Xia Moyi, they quickly disappeared from the dungeon.

Once the dungeon settlement ended, Pei Ying was teleported back to his own residence, still in a daze.

When he finally realized that Xia Moyi had been forcibly taken back by the Agency through such methods, he feared the worst. He did not know where Xia Moyi lived or what family she had. Seeing that she and Hua Suihe seemed familiar with each other, he thought of contacting Hua Suihe.

Seeing Hua Suihe’s brows knot together and her expression turn grave, Ye Susheng sat down beside her. She had heard the voice message Hua Hua had played just now, but still asked, “Hua Hua, what happened?”

“Moyi was taken by the Thriller Research Agency. I’m afraid she’s in danger.”

Ye Susheng lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, her tone even. “Didn’t she join that Agency? They probably won’t make things difficult for her.”

Hua Suihe shook her head. “No. The main storyline can be left alone, but it can’t collapse.”
“Huh?” Ye Susheng looked as if there were question marks floating over her head. She didn’t understand.

Hua Suihe did not clear up her confusion. Her expression was grave as she shook her head again and again. “No. She can’t be in danger.”

Ye Susheng placed her palm over the back of Hua Suihe’s hand and pressed her lips together, feeling deeply displeased. Still, she did not say anything jealous or petty. Seeing Hua Hua so anxious, if she expressed her dislike and dissatisfaction now, it would only put Hua Hua in a difficult position.

Hua Suihe turned her hand over and laced their fingers together, then told her what she was worried about. “I told you before that Xia Moyi is the female lead of this world. Back then, I didn’t explain it clearly. When I say female lead, I don’t mean she’s some chosen one with an extraordinary destiny. I mean she’s tied to the main plot. This is a romance game, and the main storyline is the framework holding the entire game together. If something happens to her, this game world will collapse.”

As a native inhabitant of the game world, Ye Susheng found these god’s-eye-view statements rather obscure. But she understood one thing.

If Xia Moyi died, this world would collapse.

Then she and Hua Hua would have nowhere to live. That would not do.

Ye Susheng remembered that Xia Moyi was very hard to kill. Even she had been unable to kill her.

But they still couldn’t ignore what those humans might be capable of. “Hua Hua, we have to save her.”

“If she’s gone, then Hua Hua and I will be gone too. That can’t happen.”

Hua Suihe quickly thought through a simple plan and said, “I need to make a trip to the Agency headquarters.”

Ye Susheng immediately said, “I’ll go with Hua Hua.”

“No. You need to do something else.”

“Why? I don’t agree.” Ye Susheng instantly grew anxious. She would not agree to Hua Suihe going off alone to take risks. If Hua Hua absolutely had to get into danger, then so be it if the world was destroyed. There would be no need to save any female lead.

They might as well spend that time holding each other and waiting for the end to come.

“Don’t get upset.” Hua Suihe softened her voice coaxingly and stroked Ye Susheng’s head. “It’s because you have something even more important to do. If this method works, you’ll be able to protect me too. I won’t be in danger.”

Ye Susheng was completely unconvinced and would never agree so easily. “Tell me what you want me to do first.”

Hua Suihe patiently explained, “The Agency headquarters must be located in human territory. It’s bound by rules. Your movements are restricted in areas where humans live, and you can’t harm humans. When the time comes, even if you’re right beside me, you’ll only be able to watch and worry.”

“Also, my livestream perspective has specific conditions. It only activates inside a dungeon. And only when the livestream is on can I use items and guarantee my own safety.”

“So what we need to do is turn the area where the headquarters is into a Polluted Zone of Thriller Contamination.”

After blurting out her initial plan all at once, Hua Suihe cupped Ye Susheng’s face in both hands as though entrusting her with a major mission. “Turning a human area into a Polluted Zone of Thriller Contamination-I’m sure my Ye Zi can do it. So this extremely difficult task can only be left to you!”

Ye Susheng tilted her head slightly, as though considering whether Hua Suihe’s words made sense. “Then can’t we just wait until that place becomes a Polluted Zone first, and then go together?”

“What if it takes too long? Then we’ll be finished.”

“It won’t.” Ye Susheng’s tone was firm and decisive. She simply refused to let Hua Suihe go take risks alone. There was a pleading note in her voice, with a hint of willful stubbornness. “I don’t care. You have to come with me. You’re not allowed to go alone.”

“I’ll complete the mission Hua Hua gave me as quickly as possible, but Hua Hua has to promise me you’ll wait at home for me.”
