Drip, drip, drip—
Drip, drip, drip—
The alarm clock on the bedside table pointed to twelve noon.
After a while, a hand stretched out from under the covers.
The alarm was turned off.
Then, slowly, the person got up.
Zhong Pianpian’s life had been quite colorful these past two days.
She lived in a villa of 130 million square meters and woke up every day from a ten-meter-wide Simmons bed.
She had rainbow-colored hair and rainbow-colored eyes.
Even her spit was rainbow-colored.
Oh, right,
She also had a particularly special name: Mary Sue.
Living with her was her nominal husband: Overbearing CEO.
And… CEO’s White Moonlight.
As a Mary Sue, possessing both beauty and a halo, she was a constant threat to the Overbearing CEO’s position.
Therefore,
She faced the White Moonlight’s “whimpering” sonic attack once a day, and the Overbearing CEO’s twice-daily assaults.
Either it was “unreasonable” or “I don’t listen, I don’t listen.”
Or it was “words become reality.”
The White Moonlight’s sonic attack was manageable.
She could also whimper.
When it came to drama queens, Zhong Pianpian wouldn’t concede.
But the Overbearing CEO’s attacks were too unreasonable.
Either he would lock her in a dark room.
Or he would say, “Woman, you are playing with fire.”
Then, the room Zhong Pianpian was in would erupt in flames.
She had every reason to suspect that these two were trying to kill her.
And she even suspected that
This place called Ghost Building
Shared the same internet culture as Water Blue Star,
Or perhaps, Ghost Building had randomly captured Water Blue Star’s internet stories after arriving on Water Blue Star.
And integrated and designed them into game levels.
…
Putting the Overbearing CEO, Mary Sue, and White Moonlight into the same world.
The imagination was too wild.
Despite that… Zhong Pianpian was in pain yet happy.
There were many resident ghosts in the North Hall.
But this did not include the Drama Queen Department in the Advanced Paper Figurine Art Class.
They needed to personally experience it.
When she was first assigned to the Black Hole incident, Zhong Pianpian worried it would delay her ‘cultivation.’
She hadn’t expected to have opportunities to cultivate here as well.
See?
The Overbearing CEO, who had gone out for a meeting in the morning, had finally returned.
Thump thump thump—
The sound of leather shoes echoed in the corridor.
Zhong Pianpian took a minute to reach the bedroom door and then opened it.
At the corner of the corridor, about a hundred meters away, she saw the Overbearing CEO walking towards her quickly.
Thump thump thump—
After walking for about three minutes, the Overbearing CEO finally arrived in front of Zhong Pianpian.
His eyebrows were straight and sharp,
His eyes were deep, with a built-in palette:
Five parts arrogance, three parts disdain, two parts disgust.
He took a breath,
Pointed at Mary Sue, Zhong Pianpian, and opened his mouth to begin today’s assault.
Zhong Pianpian also flicked her rainbow-colored hair by her ear, preparing for battle.
Just as both sides were poised,
Suddenly, the space beside them rippled.
A tall figure was pulled in.
Zhong Pianpian, Overbearing CEO: ???
The figure looked up, scanned the scene,
Then quickly kicked backward and disappeared into the corridor.
Zhong Pianpian: …That seemed a bit familiar?
After a few seconds of stunned silence,
She suddenly realized, “Has the streamer started their offensive so quickly?”
That’s not right,
Isn’t the way to攻略 Ghost Building to pass the levels and become the big winner?
Before coming, she had placed a lot of her power into her natal paper figures.
Whenever she wanted to retrieve and use them, she would faintly feel the suppression from Ghost Building.
Using them forcefully would inevitably result in some damage.
That feeling…
Was like some kind of natural law.
“Could it be a bug??”
Zhong Pianpian rested her chin on her hand, her rainbow-colored eyes showing contemplation.
…
Half an hour ago—
Jiang Lin, after breaking free from Ghost Building’s teleportation channel,
Under the perspective of ‘Number One,’ he analyzed the internal structure of the entire Ghost Building.
Then he flew towards the area with the most abundant energy.
Soon, amidst the abundant energy, he saw a series of patterns.
There were patterns of houses, books, food…
Some patterns were lit, others were dark.
It was as if,
In a building,
There were countless rooms.
Jiang Lin raised his hand and touched a house pattern.
The gray energy within him circulated, and on the house pattern, he drew a golden door.
—A door with the power of ‘rules.’
As the great door opened,
A suction force came from within the door.
Jiang Lin stabilized himself and quickly threw a palm-sized paper figurine inside.
After synchronizing his vision, he saw that inside were numerous houses, of varying heights.
Like a city.
But, on the city streets, no figures could be seen.
Instead, there were buildings and furniture that could jump and move.
Behind the windows,
One could faintly see pairs of eyes, hidden behind the curtains.
Peeking at the situation outside.
The palm-sized paper figurine had only looked twice,
When a prompt sound echoed from the sky:
“Warning! Warning! Operational error, operational error…”
And then, the door to this small world closed.
The last time Jiang Lin intercepted an energy line in the channel (Liu Yao), Ghost Building had merely repaired itself.
But this time,
Jiang Lin was directly pulled onto Ghost Building’s blacklist.
Behind him, streaks of black energy pursued him.
In the surrounding channels,
Traps would occasionally appear, or a hand would try to control him.
Jiang Lin, while skillfully dodging, muttered to himself:
“Is it because I interfered with the normal operation of the game levels? So I’m treated as a virus?”
Before, when intercepting Liu Yao, he had only brought her into the resting room.
And then entered the game together.
However, fortunately,
The experiment just now proved Jiang Lin’s conjecture.
These patterns were the rooms on Ghost Building’s floors.
Jiang Lin switched to his normal perspective; the surroundings were indeed pitch black.
Switching back to ‘Number One’s’ perspective,
The surroundings once again showed a chaotic and vast energy structure.
So,
He just needed to follow these channels,
And continue upwards to reach the core of Ghost Building’s ‘evil’ part?
That is, the so-called final level?
…
As Jiang Lin continued to move forward, the pursuing energy around him gradually became agitated.
As if it was in a hurry.
After discovering Jiang Lin, the ‘virus,’ the patterns within the channels were gradually hidden.
Traps and arms, or nets, materialized on the channel walls.
But now, after discovering that they couldn’t catch him this way,
The channels actually revealed those patterns again,
And then, opened their doors wide.
Displaying the worlds from the game levels to Jiang Lin.
At the same time,
A suction force emanated from the small worlds, attempting to pull him in.
At this moment, Jiang Lin’s internal power,
Apart from the gray energy body, was only the strength of a Great Ghost General.
During the repeated pursuits by the black energy behind him,
When Jiang Lin couldn’t dodge in time, he would be pulled into a small world on the channel wall.
At first, he thought Ghost Building wanted to trap him.
But after entering, Jiang Lin realized.
The other side was preparing to use the bosses within the small worlds to deal with him!
The first time he entered, he was almost dragged into a deep pit by a giant octopus leg.
The second time he entered,
He was met head-on by a giant soft-bodied monster dozens of meters tall, which opened its mouth to swallow him.
As he continued to advance through the channels, the bosses in those levels became increasingly powerful.
At first, Jiang Lin could still jump out before the door that pulled him in closed.
But later on,
As the bosses grew stronger,
Jiang Lin had to take out ghost artifacts, paper figurines, and other items to jam the doors of the game worlds.
And quickly escape the bosses’ entanglement to jump out.
…
(Ps: Zhong Pianpian: “I know you don’t want to go with me, but what if… I wear black stockings?”)
