The Complete Guide to Rearing an Alien Boyfriend

Actually, Long Xi discovered that some of the cottages had lights on.

She tiptoed towards the one nearest to her and got ready to knock on the door.

The door of that cottage opened and a tall person walked out.

Due to the faint light, Long Xi could not see their face clearly or tell if this was a man or a woman. The person seemed to wear a peaked cap and hold a cell phone in their hand.

Four red glowing words floated over their head: I am Anti-Inflammatory Pill.

The person also saw Long Xi.

They turned to the inner room and said, “Another person has come. Seems to be a new bird.”

Long Xi figured out that this was a male voice. It was young and clear, pleasant to listen to. It seemed to be a familiar voice.

Who did he remind her of? Oh, he sounded like the handsome young man Long Xi liked, Hu Lei!

Then, three more people came out.

A person of average height, a male based on the hairstyle, and a short, fat person that might be a girl. She was holding a short person with two small pigtails that seemed to be a little girl.

The three of them all had phones in their hands.

Over their heads, red words floated, spelling out the phrases “Lonely Gourmet”, “Hunger Games”, and “Mountains and Snow”.

Suddenly, her phone rang again. “The third identity is the Werewolf. There will be two. Every night, the Werewolves can kill a person. Attention, in this game, the two Werewolves belong to one side, while all the others belong to the other side. There is no third side. If the Prophet finds the two Werewolves from the first night until the night of the third day, the Villager side will win. If the Prophet fails or gets killed, the Werewolves will win.”

Long Xi felt that this rule was somehow different from the rules of the game she used to play.

The key points were to find the werewolves and protect the Prophet so that they wouldn’t be killed!

Another red envelope showed up on her phone. The word “Werewolf” was on it.

The three men quickly lowered their heads to grab the red envelope.

Long Xi quickly did the same.

Although she had gotten the identity of the Prophet, she had to pretend to grab the red envelope so that the others would not figure out that she had an identity. They could tell that she might be either a Villager or the Prophet.

Long Xi would not be recognized so easily!

After a while, the man wearing the peaked hat raised his head and waved at Long Xi, saying warmly, “Are you new here? Come in. Don’t be afraid. We are all players just like you playing this real-life Werewolf Kill.”

Long Xi pushed away from the firewood and walked over.

The young man greeted Long Xi and said with a smile, “It’s okay. You should feel at ease since you came here. It’s just a game. If you don’t want to play, you can quit at any time.”

After approaching, she finally saw the man’s face clearly by the faint candlelight on the shabby ancient wooden dining table.

Long Xi’s heart beat fast.

He turned out to be her favorite superstar, Hu Lei. She would search for news about him from time to time.

Was he really Hu Lei?

The peaked cap on his head was white and red. Although he had pushed it low on his head, it could not totally cover his delicate appearance and his mischievous but tricky smile.

His hair had been dyed a linen-like color.

People with a nice appearance could pull off any hair color!

He was wearing a white-and-red casual outfit to match his hat. No one could find any flaw on his casual outfit.

Even in a dangerous situation, Hu Lei still behaved attractively and gave off a sparkling, dazzling glare.

Long Xi asked, “Are you Hu Lei? Or just a player that’s using Hu Lei’s image?”

“I am the spokesperson for this game. Of course I would join the game. I like to play it! Nice to meet you. The reason I named myself ‘I’m an Anti-Inflammatory Pill’ is that I used to play a role with a name in a partial tone to an anti-inflammatory pill!” Hu Lei said with a smile.

A polite, decent smile was still on his face, making people feel warm. Even Long Xi’s uneasy mood had been almost washed away.

Long Xi felt like her eyes were full of pink bubbles.

A young foreign woman next to her looked like Jennifer Lawrence in a costume similar to the one she had worn in the movie “Hunger Games”. She was also carrying a bow and arrows on her back.

“Lawrence” greeted Long Xi with a smile. “Hello, I’m Yamamoto Longsan. I know you! We met before in the Loving Chocolate Restaurant in France. Do you remember me? I said that I wanted to worship you! I have been fond of the food culture in your country for a long time!”

Her voice sounded like Jennifer Lawrence, but the Chinese she spoke was normative.

“Oh, it’s you!” Long Xi remembered Yamamoto Longsan. What a coincidence!

Yamamoto Longsan said, “I don’t use my own image for my character, so I chose my dream lover as a character image. The voice is provided by the game service and is similar to Lawrence’s. Besides, this game system has a strong translation function. Players from different countries can play together. I am in my aunt’s home in France and I’m speaking Japanese, but you hear me speak Chinese and what you say will be translated into Japanese! It’s awesome! Oh, I forgot to introduce the two of them to you. They are my relatives. This is my aunt, Qianshan Sakurako, and this is her daughter, Qianshan Muxue.”

The fat lady with the half-grey hair, who was Qianshan Sakurako, took a bow before Long Xi with a smile. This was a custom in Japan.

She was holding a pudgy girl who was five or six years old, Qianshan Muxue. Her eyes were big, and she smiled happily as she told Long Xi politely, “Sister!”

Her young voice was really cute and her two thin pigtails had been tied like a pair of horns and swayed up and down as she talked. She was extremely adorable.

Long Xi could not help bending down to pinch her little face while saying with a smile, “Little sister, you look so cute! Qianshan Muxue, your name is very nice!”

Qianshan Muxue answered in her young voice, “Mom said that I could call her ‘mom’ early and always pronounced it like ‘Mu’. That’s why she gave me this name. You can call me Mumu, which is my nickname.”

“Oh, that’s right! Hello, Mumu. My name is Long Xi. You can call me Sister Xi!” Long Xi actually liked to play with kids.

Aunt Sakurako picked up Mumu’s phone to see what kind of identity she had grabbed.

Her face turned pale when she saw it. Even the flesh on her face was trembling.

Long Xi thought that Aunt Sakurako was really not someone who could hide her emotions! It was obvious that her daughter had grabbed the identity of a Werewolf.

Of course, Long Xi would not betray them! Yamamoto Longsan could not be the other Werewolf. What about Hu Lei then?

Fortunately, this was just a game. People would not really die! As Hu Lei had said, they could quit the game at any time!

Hu Lei closed the door and a faint expression appeared on his face, making everyone wonder what he was thinking.

He glanced at Long Xi and then looked at the others. A warm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth before he said, “Guys, I think we should join forces and resist against the outsiders.”

Long Xi responded first, “Okay, let’s join forces!”

The others also agreed, so they high-fived to signify the alliance.

Long Xi asked, “Do I have words over my head?”

Hu Lei said, “Yes, they spell out the phrase ‘I’m a Worm’. Everyone in the game has their account name over their head.”

During their conversation, the judge explained patiently, “The fourth identity is the Witch. The Witch has two bottles of magic potions. One of them is an antidote that the Witch can use to save a dead player who has been killed by Werewolves, including herself. The other one is a poison. The Witch can use it to kill any living player. The Witch can only use one potion per night. Attention: If the Little Girl is killed due to being discovered peeping at the Werewolves, the Witch cannot use the antidote to save her. However, if the Little Girl is killed in any other way, the Witch can use the antidote.”

Here came another red envelope!

Long Xi, like the others, lowered her head to grab the red envelope.

Only the little girl did not grab one. She was a little kid indeed, as she did not know how to lie.

Long Xi’s response was quick enough. However, when she clicked the red envelope, it said: You’re late. The identity of the Witch has been taken.

It seemed that the identity of the Witch was popular.

Long Xi squatted down and whispered to the little girl, “Mumu, you should keep grabbing the red envelopes. Otherwise, the others will guess your identity. Understand?”

Mumu tilted her head to think for a while and burst into laughter. She then nodded obediently.

Next came the identity of the Hunter.

If the Hunter was killed by the Werewolves or voted to death by the villagers, he could shoot a deadly bullet at any living player.

If the Hunter was poisoned by the Witch or died for love, he could not shoot anyone.

After Long Xi pretended to grab the red envelope, she asked Hu Lei, “Have you seen a person named Qiuzi? She looks similar to Cheng Yimei and she is a cartoon illustrator who will marry the richest man in China.”

Hu Lei shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Players here might not use their true images.”

“Yes, no wonder she took a picture of me without my consent. She might expose my true identity at first.” Long Xi felt worried. She was exposed, but the enemy was hiding in the darkness!

During their conversation, the Sheriff, the Cupid, the Elder, the Guard, the Thief, the Hybrid, the Little Girl, and the Idiot had all been taken.
