The woman's name was Ah Yue. She was a helper.
In an era where robots were everywhere, it was considered backward to have a helper.
Shi Sheng asked to see Jing Xian. Ah Yue hesitated for a moment before agreeing. She led Shi Sheng to the old attic.
The wooden attic felt very unstable when they stepped on it.
"It's here." Ah Yue pointed at the door and pushed it open. "Creak …"
The room was very clean. Shi Sheng saw the recovery pod in the middle of the room. It looked similar to the gaming pod, but there was a big difference in color.
Shi Sheng walked closer and the figure inside gradually became clearer.
He was lying inside quietly with some equipment on him. The lights in the recovery pod flickered, reflecting his pale face.
It was a young man, a very beautiful young man.
Shi Sheng glanced at the recovery pod and turned to ask Ah Yue, "Who sent this recovery pod?"
Ah Yue shook her head. "When I came, this recovery pod was already here."
Shi Sheng walked around the recovery pod. Although it looked no different from a normal recovery pod, there were extra parts inside. It was obvious that this was a modified gaming pod.
"Does he have any relatives?"
"I'm not sure about that. Back then, I was hired through the internet. At that time, I was given an address directly. The salary was transferred directly. Every time, it was a year's salary. I've never seen anyone come to visit him." Ah Yue was an honest person. She would answer whatever Shi Sheng asked.
"Can I be alone with him for a while?"
"Sure." Ah Yue nodded.
Such a cute boy, lying here all alone, as a mother, sometimes her heart would ache for him.
Ah Yue left the room and closed the door.
Shi Sheng supported his chin with his hand and looked at the person in the recovery pod. The game light was still on. He was still in the game.
He had to get him out.
…
When Shi Sheng went downstairs, he heard Ah Yue talking on the phone.
"Is it serious? I'll think of a way to come over … Oh, okay … "Ah Yue hung up the phone in a panic.
She probably called some acquaintances and asked them to come here and take care of her for a few days, but they were all rejected in the end. Ah Yue was so anxious that she cried.
Shi Sheng walked downstairs. "Is there something urgent?"
Ah Yue wiped her eyes and sobbed, "The child is seriously ill. His life is in danger."
"I'll help you take care of him for a few days. Is that okay?" Shi Sheng had already planned to find an opportunity to steal her away. Now that Ah Yue was busy, it would save her the trouble.
"Can … can I?" Ah Yue's eyes widened, then he shook his head. "No, no, I can't trouble you."
Most importantly, Ah Yue was still a little worried.
However, the hospital kept calling. Between her child and someone else's child, Ah Yue chose her own child.
This was human nature, very normal.
Ah Yue was a very meticulous person. She wrote down the things she had to do every day in a notebook. At this time, she only needed to hand them over to Shi Sheng.
After Ah Yue left hurriedly, Shi Sheng went back to the villa to move the gaming pod.
When she came back, she saw that the talisman in the courtyard had traces of being burned, but it was not destroyed. Shi Sheng squinted his eyes, put the talisman back on, and went upstairs.
She needed to bring Jing Xian out of the game, but there was a risk. There was a 50% chance.
Shi Sheng lay down in the gaming pod. The game's server was shut down, so she could not enter the game. Therefore, she could only enter through Jing Xian's transmission line.
She converted her consciousness into a string of data. This feeling was very similar to when she left the game and entered this body.
It was very uncomfortable.
In addition to the darkness, there were all kinds of strange sounds. It was as if they were going to deafen her ears.
…
"Cough cough!"
Shi Sheng opened the gaming pod and sat up. His chest rose and fell rapidly.
No, she could not enter.
Shi Sheng did not believe it and tried again. The result was the same. She saw light in front of her, but every time she wanted to move forward, she could not.
Shi Sheng held his chin and stared at the healing pod beside him for a moment. His ears suddenly twitched, and then he looked outside.
"You want to die?" Shi Sheng pushed the gaming pod out and walked out with his sword.
Outside, only the corridor light emitted a dim yellow light. The courtyard below was hidden in the darkness. Shi Sheng went down the stairs.
She walked through the courtyard and towards the kitchen.
Just as her figure entered the kitchen, a black shadow flashed out from the darkness of the courtyard and dashed towards the attic at an extremely fast speed.
"Buzz!"
When the black shadow was about to reach the door, the Iron Sword suddenly appeared in front of the black shadow. The black shadow seemed to be very afraid of the Iron Sword. He quickly retreated and stared at the Iron Sword cautiously.
"How do you want to die, coming uninvited in the middle of the night?"
A clear voice came from below.
The black shadow approached the corridor and poked his head out to look down.
In the blink of an eye, the iron sword stabbed straight at the black shadow. The black shadow somersaulted down the corridor and landed in a cluster of flowers below.
"Shi Sheng, I look forward to meeting you again. This time, it's my loss." The black shadow lowered his voice so that no one could recognize his real voice.
"You say it as if you're letting me win." Shi Sheng rushed over, grabbed the black shadow's arm, and threw him to the ground. "Who are you?"
He called her by her real name, so he was definitely not from the virtual world.
"I've prepared a small gift for you. I hope you like it. See you next time." After saying this, his neck tilted and he died.
Shi Sheng: "…"
This was a quick suicide.
He knew that he would not have a good ending in her hands.
Shi Sheng stood for a while, disposed of the man's body, and returned to the room.
[Host, do you know him?] The System asked cautiously.
Someone really entered the virtual world and came for the Host …
Master, if you don't come back, things will be bad.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" Shi Sheng rolled his eyes in disdain.
How could she know such an idiot who schemed against others behind their backs?
How dare he plot against I behind my back.
How infuriating!
[… I don't know him.] Its knowledge was given to it by its Master. Without its Master, its database could not be updated.
Shi Sheng did not count on this idiot System.
Shi Sheng deduced some information.
This person knew her and had a certain understanding of her.
However, this understanding might have been obtained from his secret observations in the previous worlds. Therefore, he might not know her in her world.
He was decisive and ruthless.
His purpose was probably … to kill her.
As for the purpose of killing her, she had to ask the idiot System's idiot Master.
There were always idiots who wanted to plot against her!
She was scared.
"What did your previous Master want me to do?" He sent her into the virtual world and gave her a man. It was impossible that he wanted her to fall in love.
[…] What previous Master? That was its Master. [I don't know.]
"What's the use of having you?"
[…] Please, how could its Master tell it such a thing? Wouldn't it be stolen by her in minutes?
Its Master was not an idiot.
