She Really Hates

Chapter 5:

The screen gradually faded out, and the chilling atmosphere was broken by the alarm clock.

In a modern bedroom, someone wakes up in bed and puts on a school uniform.

This cutscene is real-time calculation, but does not give the character any frontal shots until TA stands in front of the mirror, and the system directly imports the character creation interface.

Song Zhiyi made a light “huh”, feeling novel: “Can you adjust your appearance?”

Meng Xi: “Yes, as you like.”

For her, this is a basic function, and it is really difficult to understand Song Zhiyi’s interest.

Song Zhiyi clicked the gender button and switched to female.

The style of the game tends to be 2D animation, and the school uniform is also closer to the British style of the second dimension. The default image of the heroine has long hair and slightly curly hair, with bright facial features and a flamboyant temperament. It is pinched according to Meng Xi’s appearance.

Although separated by a dimension, the art obviously has two brushes, and the character characteristics are quite accurate.

When Meng Xi was playing by himself, he found this kind of easter egg that only his own family could understand. It was just a little funny. When he watched others get started, he…

Meng Xi quickly glanced aside.

Song Zhiyi didn’t know if he found it or not. He dragged the mouse to look around the characters, and said with a smile, “I don’t know much about it, and it looks good this way.”

“…Cough, it’s alright.”

Meng Xi is very reserved and doesn’t care.

After completing the character creation, the game returns to the bedroom.

The protagonist trims her hair in the mirror, and the camera gives a close-up of her face. There happened to be two “dong dong” sounds from behind, as if something was knocking in the cabinet.

The protagonist turned his head, looked at the wardrobe, and entered the basic operation teaching.

The tutorial will direct the player to move forward, bypass the chair, and open the wardrobe, and the wardrobe will occasionally move and make a little noise during this process.

Song Zhiyi took two steps and was embarrassed: “Do you really want to go and see?”

Meng Xi didn’t immediately understand what she meant: “…otherwise?”

Song Zhiyi sighed, opened the cabinet and said, “Is it better to call the police at this time?”

…then it’s not fantasy games, it’s legal journalism. However, the logical problem here is really solved by Meng Xi: “I didn’t see the cat climbing frame next to it, the protagonist has a cat at home.”

Song Zhiyi was surprised: “It’s so meticulous, I really didn’t pay attention.”

Meng Xi suddenly felt better than the other party, and lifted his chin proudly: “Don’t underestimate us too much.”

The wardrobe is opened.

The dazzling white light involved the protagonist. She opened her eyes and found herself in a pure white snow forest.

Song Zhiyi smiled: “The Chronicles of Narnia?”

Meng Xi said, “Salute to the classics.”

No more time to chat. The protagonist controlled by Song Zhiyi encounters a pack of wolves in the forest and is forced to use a broken branch to deal with it. After a simple battle teaching, the protagonist falls into crisis. The girl with silver hair and blue eyes rescues her and silently shows her the direction to leave the forest. , And like a falling snowflake, it silently disappeared into the forest.

The protagonist follows the snow-covered path to a small village, where people warmly take in her, a foreigner.

In a series of trivial small tasks, players will quickly become familiar with this map, have a good relationship with NPCs, and learn about various functions in the game by the way.

These steps have detailed and conspicuous novice guidelines, but Song Zhiyi always asks Meng Xi before taking action.

After a few times, Meng Xi was suspicious and alert: “Are you so stupid to ask that?”

Song Zhiyi glanced at her and smiled faintly: “I haven’t played games much.”

Meng Xi’s back felt cold, and he was suddenly vigilant.

She knows Song Zhiyi well.

This person is very careful, this smile looks no different from usual, but Meng Xi intuitions that she is a little angry now.

Sure enough, Song Zhiyi didn’t say a word after that. No one spoke in the small cubicle, and the air suddenly froze, making Meng Xi feel as if on pins and needles.

No way, is it really so stingy?

Meng Xi complained in her heart, but couldn’t help thinking – maybe Song Zhiyi just talked to ease the atmosphere? Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing for her to sit here.

She recalled that Song Zhiyi’s affectionate gestures during these two contacts were vastly different from the previous times when she had hidden a needle in cotton. She was not sure whether she had shown the kindness of others.

…can you? Will Song Zhiyi be so considerate and kind to her?

Song Zhiyi kept silent.

Until she got stuck on the task of chopping wood, and couldn’t find a way to complete it for a long time.

Meng Xi cleared his throat: “That’s not the case, you have to equip an axe, then press the right button to attack normally…”

Song Zhiyi’s hand paused, changed equipment, and pressed the mouse.

The protagonist on the screen swung his axe, and the first time it was crooked, Song Zhiyi found the position and chopped it again, splitting the firewood in two. She finally smiled a little: “This design is quite interesting.”

Although I don’t know what’s interesting, the atmosphere is finally not so rigid.

Meng Xi breathed a sigh of relief without noticing it.

During the time they were deadlocked, the protagonist had already experienced the plot of integrating into the village and became a part of the village.

One day, when she came back from hunting, she found that the village was attacked by monsters.

Draw a card.

Gamers also want to make money.

The gameplay of “Inhumans” is inclined to stand-alone, and the krypton gold point of many online games is not applicable. After the project combination is calculated, an all-purpose card development system is offered.

After the protagonist awakens the ability of ‘summoning”, he can summon the “missing” of a certain person for a certain period of time, and join the battle after being embodied.

Not to mention what it will be like in the official operation, the account Song Zhiyi got is a test account with all characters trained to the top level, and the battle was easily finished. When he turned his head, the rescued villagers showed a fearful expression to the protagonist. , called her a “devil” and drove her away from the village.

The protagonist’s frail figure stands in the ice and snow.

Song Zhiyi didn’t seem to react yet: “…Why?”

She looked over.

Meng Xi realized that she was asking herself, and was puzzled: “I mentioned it in the previous plot. People here believe in the **** of light. Except for orthodox magic, other people who use supernatural power are considered to be the messengers of the devil. To expel the exterminated ‘inhumans’.”

Song Zhiyi said, “Even if you just saved them?”

Meng Xi met her eyes and paused: “…It’s normal for people to be brainwashed from generation to generation.”

Song Zhiyi reluctantly accepted.

Meng Xi looked at her as if she was too immersed in the game plot and “entered the play”. This is normal for others, but Song Zhiyi and Meng Xi were a little surprised, and also a little strange honor…

She thinks it’s time to investigate user opinions: “You don’t like the plot here?”

Song Zhiyi said lightly, “It’s annoying.”

Meng Xi: “…”

This is a little serious.

Song Zhiyi asked, “Do you think this is correct? Because of some things that are different from common sense, they reject and hostile to a certain group.”

How did this start to smear her personality? Meng Xi denied: “That’s definitely not the case.”

“This part is only needed for the plot, and it fits the world’s background.” Meng Xi explained, “Because priests rule here, everyone is born with the idea that ‘others’ are cunning and evil.”

Meng Xi didn’t understand why Song Zhiyi asked this question, she could clearly see that it was just a deliberate plot design, even a little critical.

Of course Song Zhiyi didn’t want to ask this.

But against the blue light on the screen, her lips opened and closed, and finally she smiled:

“Sorry, am I overreacting? It’s the first time I played a game like this, and you guys did a great job.”

“…”

Tsk, Meng Xi said, “Then I thank you.”

She was not happy.

Meng Xi is not a fool, she can’t see Song Zhiyi’s cover up, but the other party refuses to continue communication, and she has no reason to ask.

Song Zhiyi continued the game.

The protagonist, who was injured originally, passed out shortly after wandering in the icy forest, and when he woke up, he had been rescued and lay beside the burning fireplace.

The one who rescued her was the silver-haired girl named Edith who first showed her the way in the forest.

She is also an alien. In the world, she is a ruthless ice witch, but in fact, she is a gentle and slender girl who will rescue the frozen animals at the door of the house and guide the lost.

The protagonist improves his strength under the company and guidance of Edith. Occasionally, the two of them hide their identities and go to the town to play, meet friends who are also different people, and spend a leisurely and happy time.

But the good times didn’t last long.

One time, the child Edith rescued in the snow recognized her inhuman identity and notified the town priest.

After the protagonist came back from going out, Edith has been captured by the priest, and as an accomplice of the “witch”, she has to avoid the pursuit in the vast wind and snow, and at the same time go to rescue Edith who is about to be judged…

The difficulty of this battle will be adjusted according to the player’s combat power. Even if Song Zhiyi is using an internal account, it is difficult to fight.

After finally passing, she was about to arrive at the scene of the “Witch’s Trial”, but she stopped and suddenly asked, “That part just now is the place where the music is to be re-composed?”

“Um?”

Meng Xi almost forgot about this, but fortunately, his IQ came online in time: “Oh, yes… won’t you continue playing?”

Anyone who is curious will not stop here…

“Will she be saved?”

“…”

Meng Xi felt a little guilty for some reason: “You’ll know if you keep playing.”

Song Zhiyi smiled: “That’s still not enough, it’s almost time.”

She arrived here at the end of her lunch break. It’s already more than five o’clock, and it’s almost time for the company to leave work.

Meng Xi was also awakened when she saw the time. She couldn’t believe that she had spent the whole afternoon playing games with her?

Meng Xi walked near the elevator entrance, still in a trance about this matter.

Song Zhiyi looked at her, she straightened her waist reflexively, and realized that she didn’t really need to send her! So he said naturally: “I just happened to go down for something.”

Song Zhiyi smiled and nodded: “I thought Meng always came to see me off. It seems that I don’t have that much face.”

In fact, Meng Xi, who has nothing to do with it: “…”

I don’t know why, but she seemed to have achieved her goal, but she was panicking in her heart.

They walked into the elevator one after the other, obviously they came in together, but there was more than two people standing in the distance between them.

The harmonious dialogue in the compartment seemed to have never happened before. Song Zhiyi pressed the floor, facing the reflection of the elevator door, both of them were silent, as if they didn’t know each other at all.

…It’s so slow. Why don’t you think this elevator is so slow?

Meng Xi raised his arms.

She suddenly remembered something, glanced at Song Zhiyi on the other side, and stopped talking for two seconds, but she still didn’t stop: “The old man from before, didn’t he trouble you later?”

Song Zhiyi was startled: “President Wang? We haven’t seen each other since then.”

How could Meng Xi know whether the man was President Wang or Wang Ba. After she went back that day, the more she thought about it, the more wrong she was, and she was even a little scared because of her sense of morality—regardless of whether the memory in the dream was true or not, she should remind Song Zhiyi of what was wrong with the red skirt at that time.

Fortunately, it’s not too late, Meng Xi seemed to mention it casually: “If I were you, I wouldn’t hang out with that friend of yours again.”

“Jia Jia?”

Song Zhiyi didn’t expect her to mention this.

Meng Xi saw her reaction, but before she could hear her, she was already angry. She sneered: “Believe it or not, it’s up to you, don’t come and tell me, too lazy to listen.”

Song Zhiyi laughed: “I don’t believe you, I…”

The elevator door dinged open.

“I” what?

Meng Xi heard half of it, and her eyes were still closely following her, but Song Zhiyi didn’t say any more.

She got out of the elevator and turned around again.

The warm golden sunset passed through the door of the hall and dragged on the ground for a long time, but it never extended to this side, and when the lights were not turned on in the room, that beautiful face was in the ambiguous darkness, a strange kind of strangeness. of tenderness.

“Nothing…” Her voice was also a little muffled, mixed with a vague sigh, “Just thank you, Meng Xi.”

“…”

Meng Xi clasped her arms tightly, and the elevator door closed decisively in a moment of daze.
