Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 197: Chapter 161: Does it Feel Good? (2nd Update)_2

Fang Yu, before the apocalypse, was a stranger to Qi Xiaojin.

He was pieced together by the fragmentary information that the future Fang Yu revealed.

Qi Xiaojin really wanted to understand and get in touch with him.

But she also knew that one should eat one bite at a time; everything should proceed slowly.

And gaming was the best entry point.

The green light was on at this moment.

The two of them walked forward with the flow of people, when Qi Xiaojin suddenly said,

”Right, the game you’ve been playing recently is really popular. I often come across various short videos, all with hand-drawn style graphics, telling stories about the game.”

”Yeah, the game is really blowing up now. But it doesn’t have a screenshot feature, so everyone else relies on memory to hand-draw the game’s images in real life.”

If she followed up with ’how strange, giggle giggle’ or something like that, the conversation would end there.

So, Qi Xiaojin said,

”Is that so? That means a lot of people are playing this game. You managed to stand out among so many players and made money, that’s pretty impressive.”

”Hahaha! Just luck!”

Bringing up the game, Fang Yu felt a bit more confident.

As if prompted to continue the topic, he said,

”I’m now in Tianyuan Town in the game, it’s like I’ve joined the local government office, and the monthly salary is not bad. Despite coming from a troubled family background, having to take care of my sister, and with a brother who’s gone missing, everything is looking up, and I’m steadily developing!”

Fang Yu waved his fist.

”I feel like this time, I can make it! I can earn quite a bit of money!”

It was indeed Tianyuan Town.

Qi Xiaojin felt relieved.

The butterfly effect she triggered hadn’t affected Fang Yu’s side.

That was good.

Qi Xiaojin had considered going to Fang Yu’s side.

But she feared affecting Fang Yu’s later development.

After all, even the smallest flap of a butterfly’s wings might lead to a massive cataclysm.

If Fang Yu made a mistake in the game, it would all be her fault!

”Fang Yu, you just need to follow the steps from your previous life, slowly develop, slowly move forward, that’s good.”

”Leave everything else to me!”

”In this life, when the apocalypse comes, it will be me, protecting you from behind!”

Qi Xiaojin’s gaze was determined.

As for Tianyuan Town that Fang Yu mentioned, Qi Xiaojin didn’t have a deep impression.

Because in his past life, whenever Fang Yu brought it up, he would fall suddenly silent, never delving into it.

And the game’s sister and brother, she was hearing about them for the first time.

So her knowledge of Fang Yu’s experiences in Tianyuan Town was actually a blank slate.

Thinking about it, perhaps those sister and brother weren’t important?

After all, in three months, when Tianyuan Town would be destroyed, not many would survive; mostly likely that sister and brother would die in that crisis.

It didn’t matter, as long as Fang Yu was still alive.

As for whether to go to Tianyuan Town in three months’ time to take a look, Qi Xiaojin was still somewhat undecided.

Anyway, the time hadn’t come, and there was no rush to make a decision.

She was already in the Black Withered Saint Sect, and with the Sect’s methods, it was much more convenient to go anywhere.

While Qi Xiaojin was thinking about this, a commotion suddenly came from the distance.

Qi Xiaojin looked towards that direction.

It seemed like it was near the commercial buildings on the street; there were people screaming about someone jumping off a building or something.

But there was no corpse on the ground, not even blood; the ground over there was very clean.

No!

Wait!

Qi Xiaojin narrowed her eyes, something was off about the marks on the ground, as if they were left by someone who had fallen from a great height.

Now, looking up along the ground, Qi Xiaojin spotted the clues.

”Something’s not right.”

”What?”

Fang Yu asked, puzzled.

Qi Xiaojin shook her head slightly, and then as if remembering something, she pulled out her phone.

She refreshed the recent hot news of the city.

Twins Hospital closed for adjustment.

It’s the Dead Silence Spirit.

The second hot news.

Serial Murderer.

Over a dozen bodies in an abandoned factory.

How could so many people die?

”Ah ah ah ah!!”

While Qi Xiaojin was thinking this, a shrill scream suddenly erupted from behind.

A strong force came from the back.

Qi Xiaojin instinctively grabbed Fang Yu’s hand.

”Fang Yu!”

”Sister Jin!”

The two steadied themselves, forced to move forward with the crowd while looking back.

They saw the crowd behind them in complete chaos, not knowing what had happened.

But the disorder was intensifying.

And then.

Qi Xiaojin saw blood.

The ground over there was covered in blood.

Bodies had been trampled over, some grotesquely disfigured.

”The murderer is hiding among the crowd at the funeral!”

Realizing this, Qi Xiaojin’s eyes immediately turned cold.

Who was the attack targeting?

Me?

Or Fang Yu?

Or just random killing?

Her body shuddered, some sort of shackles came undone.

Everything around her seemed to slow down.

Her radar-like eyes swept over the crowd and immediately locked onto a hooded man running into an alley.

The human wall that had been impenetrable just moments before parted effortlessly at her touch.

”Fang Yu!”

She grabbed Fang Yu’s hand and ’squeezed’ out of the crowd.

Once her strength receded, the heavy shackles fell back into place.

At the same time, it also cost her the mysterious and profound Life Soul, and years of her lifespan.

But this small price was worth paying to ensure Fang Yu’s safety.

”Escape, we need to get out of here.”

Fang Yu, patting his chest, recalled the pushing and shoving from the crowd; he had almost fallen several times.

Although he had no experience with such things, he had seen the news.

In such a crush of people, once you fall and a stampede occurs, the death rate is high.

Fortunately, in the end, they managed to extricate themselves from the crowd.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Looking at his left hand, tightly grasped by Sister Jin, Fang Yu felt somewhat embarrassed.

Logically, this should be the time for him, a boy, to display his strength, to lead the way and carve a path for Sister Jin.

But in reality, what strength could he, a homebody, possibly have? Just managing to stay on his feet was an achievement.

In the end, it was Sister Jin who inexplicably found a way out and squeezed through.

”Sister Jin, what happened back there? Why did everyone suddenly start running...”

”Don’t look!”

Qi Xiaojin tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Fang Yu turned his head and saw several bodies on the ground behind him, his face instantly paled.

”Holy shit!!”

Fang Yu shuddered.

He was scared.

Seeing real dead people is completely different from seeing them in video games.

When such a death event actually occurs around you, an indescribable sense of panic wells up involuntarily.

Palms and backs of hands are covered in cold sweat, heart pounding fiercely, thumping loudly, accompanied by a ringing in the ears.

”There are, there are dead people!”

Fang Yu’s speech trembled as he spoke.

”Don’t be afraid! I’m here!”

The firm grip on his hand reassured Fang Yu a little, pulling him back from his panic.

Immediately, he felt a rush of embarrassment.

How embarrassing!

Even girls aren’t scared, and here I am, freaking out first!

Gulp!

He swallowed hard, trying to keep his voice steady.

”Sister, Sister Jin, it’s okay, I’ll protect you!”

Qi Xiaojin was taken aback, then smiled sweetly.

”Mhm!”

Pausing for a moment, Qi Xiaojin glanced at the entrance to the alley and said, ”Let’s go home first. It’s not safe here.”

”But, the bodies over there...”

”People will call the police and handle it. Let’s not get into trouble.”

Yes, that’s right! There are rumors that some ruthless criminals will attack whoever calls the police.

We ordinary people should keep a low profile.

Sister Jin led him by the hand towards home, and Fang Yu followed, his legs weak and trembling.

Every time someone approached, his body shuddered, shaking with anxiety.

Unlike in games, in real life you only have one life!

To someone like him, an ordinary homebody, it felt like facing those ruthless criminals would result in being stabbed to death before making a single move.

Fang Yu was very nervous, but whether the murderer had run away or was hiding in the crowd too afraid to act, they didn’t encounter any further trouble on their way.

It was as if he realized something belatedly; Fang Yu hailed a cab midway and, along with Qi Xiaojin, they took it back to their residential complex.

Seeing the newly replaced tall security guards and the tightly secured gate, Fang Yu felt safe in his complex for the first time.

”Huff... puff...”

He gasped for air, took some deep breaths, and then realized that he hadn’t let go of Qi Xiaojin’s hand since they started at the road.

But as for what her hand felt like, he hadn’t thought about it at all due to the overwhelming nervousness. Just with the sweaty palms making her hand all greasy and clammy, it was even more out of question to contemplate its feel.
