Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 154

Chapter 154

Hua Suihe looked away from her and turned to the two people who had suddenly appeared in front of her.

Yi Shuang and Pei Ying.

Pei Ying had been here for several years. Bringing one person in was as easy as turning over his hand.

Neither of them were players. Because their bodies were special, they had not been affected by the contamination, and their bodies would not undergo Anomalization.

When Yi Shuang met Hua Suihe’s calm, rippleless gaze, her heart sank. Her brows furrowed as well. She wanted to ask something, but felt this was not the time.

“Let’s go first. There are too many Anomaly here. Newly born Anomaly are fragile, but with numbers like this, we still have to be careful.”

Pei Ying knew this place well. He led them around the crowds undergoing Anomalization and found a room where they could hide for the time being.

“I know where Dr. Quan is holding Xia Moyi, but that place is hard to get close to. Without a special entry command, there’s no way to get in, and we can’t force our way through either.”

“Dr. Quan treats Xia Moyi a little differently. It’s like he’s determined to research something from her…” Pei Ying’s tone was hesitant. He quietly glanced at Hua Suihe. The two of them did look somewhat alike.

Hua Suihe asked directly, “Where is Dr. Quan?”

Pei Ying froze for a moment and subconsciously looked at Yi Shuang. For a moment, he did not answer.

Yi Shuang took a deep breath and looked at Hua Suihe gravely. “Hua Suihe, calm down.”

“I am calm.” Hua Suihe’s tone was very relaxed. She lifted her eyes to Yi Shuang, then turned her gaze back to Pei Ying, waiting for his answer.

“He’s not normal…” Pei Ying pressed his lips together in conflict. After a moment, he continued trying to persuade her. “Actually, the person he truly wants is you. Maybe he’s looking for you too. Facing him would be very dangerous.”

“Of course I know the person he wants is me. I’ll go find him. You go find Xia Moyi and get her out of here.” Hua Suihe was far too composed, without the slightest trace of panic. Pei Ying’s words naturally caught in his throat, and he stopped trying to dissuade her.

Yi Shuang also fell silent. Thinking of the image of Ye Susheng she had just seen in the light orb, unease lingered in her heart. “Are you going alone? Or is Ye Susheng going with you?”

“It’s fine. You don’t need to worry about anything else. Just take Xia Moyi and leave this place.” Hua Suihe had no desire to say more. “Tell me Dr. Quan’s location.”

Time was tight, and Pei Ying could not out-stubborn her. Haltingly, he told her the location.

Hua Suihe thanked him, then left the room ahead of them.

At that moment, Dr. Quan was in the full-screen surveillance room searching for Hua Suihe. He locked onto her position with ease. Though he was already in his forties, his face now carried a hint of fawning. The person standing beside him had an aura that was far too powerful. Even the Psychic Power unconsciously leaking from them was enough to press down on him until he could not stop trembling.

With a ingratiating smile on his face, Dr. Quan enlarged one of the surveillance feeds. It showed Hua Suihe walking toward this place. “F-found her. She’s here.”

He knew the person before him was not Ye Susheng, but the Thriller Will he worshipped. It had descended into this place by borrowing Ye Susheng’s body, turning everyone into Anomaly.

This was the part he had miscalculated. Aside from himself, everyone here had evolved through the most primitive method, becoming ordinary Anomaly. The side effects of newly becoming an Anomaly were severe, which meant that if he wanted to control those Anomaly, he could no longer simply issue orders as he had before. He could only use strength to reestablish his authority.

Fortunately, he was different from them. He had already been evolving for four full years. Tempered by time and aided by many rounds of drugs, he had almost evolved into a high-level Anomaly like Ye Susheng.

As long as he captured Hua Suihe and disposed of Ye Susheng, he would become the first Anomaly in the new world of rules.
He simply hadn’t expected It to descend-and using Ye Susheng’s body, no less.

It had no feelings for Hua Suihe. That much was clear from the way It looked at her, which meant Hua Suihe could not be used as leverage against It.

It should have stayed in the heavens all along. Its will descending now was only an accident. Once It left, he could study Hua Suihe and kill Ye Susheng. Perhaps he might even discover some unexpected surprise in Hua Suihe; if it could benefit him, that would be even better.

Dr. Quan was indulging in visions of a beautiful future, utterly unaware that none of his thoughts escaped the eyes of the Thriller Will. The black mist transformed into a scythe and, in an instant, harvested Dr. Quan’s head.

His eyes widened before death, filled with confusion.

His body collapsed to the floor, went limp, and turned into a puddle of bloody sludge before vanishing without a trace.

A Believer whose thoughts had overstepped his bounds-killed.

The existence of one Ye Susheng was already an exception. How could it possibly allow a second Ye Susheng to appear?

Thriller withdrew the scythe. Its control over the black mist was clumsy, even a little strained.

Just like now, It could not completely seize Ye Susheng’s body. Ye Susheng’s will was still fighting for control.

What It needed to do most right now was kill Hua Suihe, send her back to where she belonged, and make Ye Susheng give up completely.

Only once Hua Suihe disappeared could Ye Susheng’s soul truly be killed.

Hearing movement at the door, Thriller gripped the murder weapon in Its hand. The moment It saw the figure push the door open and enter, It hurled the deadly hook-chain without hesitation, intending to pierce Hua Suihe’s heart.

Hua Suihe stopped at the doorway. The point of the hook-chain formed from black mist aimed straight for her heart, brimming with killing intent, yet it halted just before touching her clothes and refused to advance even a hair’s breadth. The other end of the hook-chain was held in Ye Susheng’s hand.

Thriller frowned at the sight, regretting that the strike had failed to kill Hua Suihe cleanly. It tried to withdraw the weapon, only to lose control of the black mist.

Right before Its eyes, the black mist turned into soft, fluffy Black Cotton Candy and wound itself around Hua Suihe’s wrist. The other end, still in Its hand, dissolved into black smoke too thin to grasp and drifted away, all of it sticking to Hua Suihe as if acting spoiled.

Thriller’s dark gaze fixed on the black mist wrapped around Hua Suihe’s wrist. Ye Susheng was hopeless beyond saving. Even the black mist had betrayed its master for love.

It spoke. The voice was not Ye Susheng’s, but that emotionless System voice. “Creator, you should not be here.”

“So you’re Thriller?” Hua Suihe’s voice was soft and unhurried as she walked toward It step by step, her pace calm, almost leisurely, as if she did not take the danger before her seriously at all.

Thriller hated all people and things beyond Its control. It still wanted to kill Hua Suihe. Without the black mist, It could still control Ye Susheng’s body; growing tentacles and ripping out her heart would work just as well.

Reality, however, was harsh. It could not even lift a hand. Ye Susheng’s body was stiff and immobile, leaving It with no choice but to watch Hua Suihe approach.

“You should not be here. You do not belong here. You should not be here…” It repeated the words over and over. Its flat tone somehow carried a trace of unwillingness.

As if sensing pain, Its breathing grew rapid. “You cannot erase me. Ye Susheng will disappear too…”

“She and I are symbiotic. I cannot disappear…”

Hua Suihe stopped in front of Ye Susheng and raised a hand to stroke her cheek, her touch gentle and tender.

Displeased by Thriller’s usurpation of another’s body, she spoke with a faint chill in her voice. “You’re occupying my lover’s body. I really don’t like that.”
