I Got My Cheat Skill by Acting My Way into a Horror Protagonist Role Chapter 84: The Uninvited Guest
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Neither the ga pod nor the helt could save Gui Yi's life.
The mangled flesh instantly stained the ga pod and helt crimson, and unstoppable blood slowly flowed down the curved protective cover.
A person's life vanished in the blink of an eye. In this remote and desolate residential area, no one knew that a life had passed away.
It wasn't until the boundary between the real world and the horror ga world blurred that the Writer's power spanned both worlds, allowing Gui Yi to be resurrected at the junction of reality and illusion.
The ink laid down by the Writer's pen would beco reality in both worlds. The power of true words could ignore ti and space, directly manifesting in a form approaching the rules of the world.
Life and death were rely words under his pen.
When the thread of fate from Maple City thousands of miles away fell from the bloody world to another part of the country, the destroyed and broken flesh began to regenerate—one part was soul, the other was body.
The world rumbled and trembled. In the rented room, the originally shattered body condensed once more, but now contained so flesh and blood that didn't belong to him.
The unfamiliar heart in his chest beat violently, carrying a sense of disorder.
Everything happened exactly as Xiao Gui'an had envisioned.
For Gui Yi to truly exist, everything he experienced had to conform to the world's operating standards to manifest in the real world. Not even the slightest flaw could appear.
However, the ti to wake up was several hours later than originally planned.
Xiao Gui'an gently put down the blood-stained helt and wiped his face, his entire hand also stained red with blood.
He was almost half-subrged in the blood pooled at the bottom of the ga pod.
One could only say that Gui Yi's death had been too thorough—the ga pod was completely covered in flesh and blood that had shattered inch by inch.
This situation would probably require professionals to clean and repair the ga pod.
Xiao Gui'an remained silent for a mont, then quickly got up from the ga pod, stirring up the dark, murky blood.
Blood continuously dripped onto the floor, quickly forming a small pool that andered into twisted patterns across the floor.
Rushing into the room, he randomly put on a few black clothes. Xiao Gui'an grabbed so tissues, trying to wipe the blood off his hands, while asking in his consciousness space, "Where's the phone?"
He felt extrely uncomfortable all over, with the thick, sticky sll of blood constantly lingering at the tip of his nose.
The black hoodie quickly beca soaked with the remaining blood, its color darkening noticeably, and the hem becoming damp.
In the rented room, the slender youth with curly black hair still had blood dripping from his hair, flowing down his neck and disappearing into his collar.
He wiped his hands over and over with white tissues, with such force that it seed he wanted to scrub off the flesh from his skin.
The youth with black curly hair kept his head down, making it impossible to see his expression.
In this dark, sunless room, Gui Yi's atmosphere seed sowhat oppressive. He appeared gloomy and introverted, covered in mottled bloodstains, as if he had just returned from so murder scene.
"System! This blood just won't wipe clean!—"
Xiao Gui'an ticulously wiped between his fingers again and again. He really wanted to take a shower right now, then co out to mop the floor and clean the room thoroughly—
But he had to deal with Xu Zisheng's matter first.
Fortunately, after two acting sessions, his psychological endurance and resistance had improved significantly. Otherwise, seeing such a terrible and horrifying scene, he wouldn't be able to remain as calm as he was now.
"On the bedside table... The phone doesn't have a password. You can set one later. Contact information for relevant people is saved inside—"
Zero System's response sounded sowhat unreal, with slight stuttering, as if the network connection was poor.
Xiao Gui'an had no choice but to pull the hoodie sleeves longer, tucking his entire hands inside, using only his fingertips to pick up the phone from the bedside table.
The phone had many scratches along its edges, and a crack ran through the middle of the screen. It looked like it had been used for a long ti, but the owner still hadn't replaced it.
Opening the phone's lock screen, Xiao Gui'an saw a long list of red missed calls in the contacts, all from the sa number.
The most recent call was from half an hour ago—it had rung for a long ti but remained unanswered.
He also checked the ssages.
The ssages sent progressed from ordinary, casual greetings to increasingly serious tones, allowing Xiao Gui'an to clearly understand the other party's psychological journey.
"Gui Yi, how are you? Are you awake?"
"It's , Xu Zisheng. This is my number—"
"Is the physical damage too severe? Why aren't you answering?"
"How are you doing now? Is the backlash very serious?"
"…………"
"Gui Yi, this is your number, right?"
"You don't need to say anything else. Just reply with a punctuation mark to let know you're still alive."
"..."
"Are you safe?"
"I won't stop contacting you until you answer. I hope... you also consider a trustworthy friend."
"..."
"Gui Yi, I need an explanation. You'd better not lie to or have anything else happen."
"Otherwise—"
After "otherwise," no other ssages were sent. Both the person and the system reading the ssages subconsciously felt tense, unanimously believing those were threatening words.
This was sowhat troubleso.
Would Xu Zisheng think he had been deceived?
Originally, Gui Yi had suffered such severe trauma in the horror world. Even after being resurrected by the Writer, there should still be ntal damage. Being unconscious in the ga pod for dozens of hours should be normal, right?
He could use this reason to properly explain to Xu Zisheng later. The other party wasn't an unreasonable person—he probably wouldn't be too angry?
Xiao Gui'an thought sowhat hesitantly.
"System, do you think Xu Zisheng is so anxious because he's worried about Gui Yi's safety? After all, we can barely be considered friends, right?
Should we reply to his ssage to reassure him or sothing?"
He thought Xu Zisheng probably wasn't particularly angry. It was just that without receiving any reply, various negative thoughts had surfaced, and the tone of his ssages had unconsciously carried so anger and coldness.
Different from Xiao Gui'an's thoughts, the Little Light Sphere thought this way:
"We definitely need to reply to the ssages, but we must choose our words carefully. After all, Gui Yi is soone the Chosen One of Fate paid a considerable price to save!
That's the Chosen One of Fate who never makes losing deals! Host, don't be too naive! Let analyze this for you—"
Since he never makes losing deals, what exactly should Gui Yi's half-human, half-ghost identity an to Xu Zisheng?
Under normal circumstances, Gui Yi, who can transform into a ghost, would naturally be an excellent, usable, communicative free fighter.
When he wants Gui Yi to do sothing later, he might not need to pay much—just a few words could control the other party.
If that's the case, then Gui Yi really can't die randomly. Otherwise, wouldn't Xu Zisheng suffer a loss? So of course he needs to pay attention to Gui Yi's physical condition.
Hearing the System analyze it this way, Xiao Gui'an felt it made so sense for a mont.
However, as it continued speaking, the Zero System refuted its own speculation: "No, that's not right. We can't make inferences based on normal thinking now. The Chosen One giving you the Fated position is the stupidest decision he's ever made...
This really shouldn't be happening. It completely defies logic... Ah, indeed, the hearts of Chosen Ones are as deep as ocean needles..."
"Then let's reply to his ssage now..."
To prevent the blood on his hands from staining the phone, Xiao Gui'an carefully held the edge of the phone with a few fingers, planning to type letter by letter.
Suddenly—
"Ding————"
The phone vibrated violently due to an incoming call. The number displayed clearly belonged to Xu Zisheng.
Xiao Gui'an's heart tightened, his hand shook, and the phone directly slipped from his grasp.
System: !
Xiao Gui'an: !
The curly-haired youth reached out to catch the phone, but because the cuffs were sowhat tight and both hands were tucked inside the sleeves, he couldn't extend them in ti. He could only bump the phone upward.
The phone flipped in mid-air, then imdiately fell down. Xiao Gui'an couldn't react quickly enough, using his sleeves again to catch it, fumbling like a circus perforr trying to steady the phone.
"Host! Host! Catch it! Catch it!—"
"Wait! The window! The window! Don't go near it—"
"Hands, get your hands out! Catch it with your hands!—"
The Little Light Sphere was just as nervous in the consciousness space. After two or three flailing attempts, the phone indeed lived up to expectations—Xiao Gui'an smacked it out the window, and it traced a perfect arc.
"Smack—"
The phone fell straight down from the third floor to the ground below, instantly shattering into pieces and stopping its vibration.
Xiao Gui'an: ...
Ahhhhh! His phone!—
Ah, no—
Ahhhhh! His information!
Before he could mourn his newly acquired phone, sudden knocking ca from outside the door. The force was trendous, as if trying to smash the door to pieces.
"Bang—"
