Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 155

Chapter 155

Thriller fell into silence.

Ye Susheng’s eyelids drooped halfway, her eyes hollow. Her shoulders sagged, and all the strength seemed to leave her body as she dropped to her knees without warning.

Hua Suihe’s pupils constricted. She could no longer maintain her calm, unruffled expression. Panic spilled from her eyes as she dropped down after her, cupping Ye Susheng’s face in both hands. “Ye Zi? Ye Zi’s wife, how are you? Does anything hurt?”

Ye Susheng said nothing. She lowered her forehead and leaned into Hua Suihe’s shoulder, her hands slowly climbing around Hua Suihe’s waist before locking tightly behind her, pulling her into her arms.

Feeling her move, Hua Suihe hugged her back, one hand gently stroking her back, the other resting against the back of her head.

“If anything feels wrong, you have to tell me, okay, sweetheart?”

“Our Ye Zi is amazing. You actually completed the mission~”

“It’s my fault. I made you suffer, Ye Zi’s wife.”

Hua Suihe was wearing a pale green long-sleeved knit top. It did not feel as soft as skin. Ye Susheng instinctively shifted a little, letting her lips press against Hua Hua’s neck, while the arms around Hua Hua tightened even further.

If this had been the usual Ye Susheng, tears would have fallen before she even spoke. But now, she neither cried nor said a word. It was far too abnormal.

[Gu Gu: The programmers said the virus caused irreversible damage beyond repair. The virus code and the source code are tangled together. To fully eliminate the virus and restore everything to normal, they’d have to rewrite the code and replace it, but the risk is huge.]

[Gu Gu: What are you going to do? Are you coming back?]

Hua Suihe read the private messages but did not reply. She closed her eyes and kept holding Ye Susheng, no one knowing what she was thinking.

The silence did not last long. Suddenly, Ye Susheng shoved Hua Suihe away with force.

Looking at Hua Suihe, who had fallen sitting before her, Ye Susheng did not reach out to help her up. Under the main body’s control, the black mist moved with exceptional agility, wrapping Hua Suihe layer by layer until she became a black cocoon.

Ye Susheng rose from the floor, a long black blade gripped in her hand. She walked toward the door and shut it behind her without looking back, leaving Hua Suihe inside.

Hua Suihe did not know what Ye Susheng was going to do. In the cramped space, all she could hear was her own ragged breathing and the heavy pounding of her heart. Frantic, she slapped at the Black Cotton, but it felt soft and yielding, not even making a sound when she hit it.

“Ye Zi, where are you going?”

“Let me out! Ye Zi, come back!”

The only answer was the echo of her own voice. The person who had left was not turning back.

Hua Suihe wanted to use an item from her inventory to escape the black mist, but for some reason, “As If Nothing Were There” had stopped working. The other items were all damage-type items. They would hurt Ye Susheng. She could not use them.

Because of that, the panic in Hua Suihe’s heart could not be calmed.

Hua Suihe pressed both hands against the Black Cotton, her eyes helpless. “Gu Gu, stop her. Help me stop her.”

[Gu Gu: Even if time stops, it can’t trap her. She isn’t controlled by normal programming.]

Tears streamed down Hua Suihe’s face in desperation. The black mist tasted the salty bitterness, and the black cocoon shrank and trembled along with it, as if it, too, were crying in sorrow.

Hua Hua, Hua Hua, don’t cry. Hua Hua, don’t cry…

The black mist could not speak. It could only send its emotions back to the main body.

Ye Susheng stepped on the corpse of a newly born Anomaly beneath her feet. The hand gripping the hilt loosened slightly, and the long blade formed from black mist scattered like smoke, flowing back into her body. In a daze, she raised a hand and wiped away the bloody tears running down her cheeks.

She knew she looked hideous when she cried like this.
She had to help Hua Hua complete her mission. She had to pave a path for Hua Hua to survive.

The Thriller Will had never left her body. She was useless. She had no way to drive Thriller out of her own flesh. She could not accept Hua Hua dying by her hand, and she could not allow even the possibility to happen.

After Thriller turned this place into a dungeon, it had dragged Hua Suihe here alone as a player and even assigned her such a grueling mission. It was trying to use this chance to kill her. If not today, then tomorrow.

Help Hua Hua complete the mission. Send Hua Hua somewhere safe.

And then? What was she supposed to do after that…

Ye Susheng felt as if she had reached the end of the road. There had never been a moment when she hated her inability to destroy herself more than she did now.

Thriller was watching hungrily from the shadows. As long as she remained alive, she would be a threat to Hua Hua’s life.

Unable to find an answer, Ye Susheng could only keep crying. The grief in her heart nearly drowned her.

Of course, her slaughter of the Anomalies never stopped. Before long, there were hardly any survivors left in the vast World Eye. The so-called Believer had already been completely purged by her.

“Why does this Ye Susheng feel both weird and normal at the same time?”

Ye Susheng’s figure was still being projected on the light orb. Everything she did was displayed within it.

The few remaining survivors who witnessed it all were both terrified and confused.

A Ye Susheng who killed without batting an eye was familiar enough. Before Hua Suihe appeared in the dungeon, she had always been like this.

What confused them was that this Ye Susheng seemed to have gone mad. She was killing people while crying.

Right now, they were two floors away from the portal. If they stuck their heads out, they were afraid they’d be killed instantly.

“What do we do now?” Yu Yan sighed bitterly.

At present, the three male leads-Yu Yan, Wen Mo, and Pei Ying-were still alive. As for that unlucky bastard Song Qiyue, the Cruise Ship dungeon had been his last life. Once he died, he never revived again.

The upheaval in the World Eye had allowed Yu Yan and Wen Mo to see the true nature of the Agency. Pei Ying told them about Dr. Quan’s conspiracy, and after realizing they had been doing unpaid dirty work all these years, the two no longer stood on Dr. Quan’s side. They helped rescue Xia Moyi.

At the moment, Xia Moyi was unconscious. No method could wake her.

Now there were two women and three men facing the murderous maniac Ye Susheng. It seemed they had no chance of survival.

Sure enough, before they could find a way to relocate, a bloody pressure bore down on them head-on.

Ye Susheng, dressed in a black Gothic miniskirt, walked over unhurriedly with that long-handled scythe in her grip, the weapon that had taken countless lives.

Yi Shuang tightened her grip on the short dagger she used for self-defense, but she knew very well that she could not hurt Ye Susheng with her own strength.

They were not players right now. They had no points shop. In other words, if they died, they died. There would be no chance to use a revival card. This time, they were probably doomed.

Watching Ye Susheng close in step by step, they had already prepared themselves for death and were just about to make a final stand when they saw Ye Susheng put away the weapon in her hand.

Ye Susheng wiped away her bloody tears. When her hands fell back to her sides, she let the tears drip from her fingertips, one drop after another, onto the floor.

She was crying?

Yi Shuang did not let down her guard. Her body remained tense, and the fingers gripping the dagger were clenched so tightly her knuckles had gone white.

With a wave of Ye Susheng’s hand, black mist bound the four people other than Yi Shuang and threw them upstairs to the portal.

Yi Shuang glanced to the side, then looked back at her again, genuine confusion in her eyes.

Ye Susheng reached out to her. “The dagger. Give it to me.”

She remembered that Yi Shuang’s dagger could kill Anomalies. Could it kill her too? Either way, she had to try.
