"Strange, why is it gone?"
Wan’er swiftly walked to the place where the sound was coming from, stomped hard, but nothing seed unusual. This left her perplexed, unable to figure out why the sound vanished.
"Don’t rush."
Su Ran strode forward, glanced at the nearby area, and didn’t see anything unusual. If not for the sound, he wouldn’t have taken it seriously.
"Overturning Water, dig down and have a look."
Cream Boy knew Su Ran had so skill in mining, and the surface here shouldn’t be a challenge for him.
"Alright."
Without further ado, Su Ran took out his beginner’s pickaxe and swung it forcefully.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The terrain here was diggable, indicating the line of thought for the puzzle was correct. Su Ran didn’t think much and dug energetically.
"Overturning Water brother, your level is already so high, why are you still using a beginner’s pickaxe?"
Wan’er almost burst out laughing at the sight; the visual contrast was too much, like an adult playing in the mud, utterly hilarious.
"Well, you know, my profession doesn’t allow to equip Human Race weapons, so I can only use this beginner’s pickaxe. But I’ve gotten used to it, and it feels quite handy."
Su Ran didn’t think too much about it and directly revealed the restriction of his identity. The two won beside him already knew who he was, so there was no need to hide it.
"Hmm?"
Cream Boy frowned slightly, "Overturning Water, she... also knows your true identity?"
"Why? Can’t I know?"
Wan’er gave Cream Boy a aningful look, "I didn’t expect Overturning Water to tell you this secret as well. It seems your relationship isn’t so simple."
"We both live in the sa house, you tell if that’s simple or not?"
Cream Boy couldn’t stand Wan’er’s disdainful attitude, and in a mont of heat, blurted it all out.
"Sister Cream, don’t speak nonsense!"
Su Ran’s eyes widened in anxiety at hearing this, especially with Yu Jing’s sister present; wasn’t this deliberately causing trouble?!
This wasn’t just causing trouble, it was wishing for chaos!
Wan’er, oh Wan’er, you’ve gotten into real trouble!
"Huh?"
After realizing what he said, Cream Boy regretted it, lowering his head sheepishly, looking like he’d done sothing wrong.
"What? Living together?"
Wan’er was as if struck by lightning, completely stunned. The color drained from her face bit by bit, her displayed confidence shattered, and her body visibly wobbled.
"President Wan’er, don’t listen to her nonsense. It’s not true."
Su Ran hurriedly explained, but judging from Wan’er’s facial expression, his explanation was feeble and powerless.
"Overturning Water brother, I just want to know if what she said is true!"
Wan’er stared into Su Ran’s eyes intensely, "Don’t think about fooling , I can tell!"
"Sigh, since it’s co to this, I might as well tell the truth. Cream Boy is my neighbor sister from my hotown, here to visit my mom and catch up, just staying for a few days. It’s not as complicated as you think."
Seeing that this woman wasn’t easy to fool, Su Ran sighed, reluctantly told the truth.
"Heh..."
Wan’er’s gaze was icy, "A neighbor sister from your hotown? Are you sure she’s here to see your aunt, and not you?"
"That’s the truth. Sister Cream, couldn’t you explain?"
Su Ran turned to give Cream Boy a look, signaling her to quickly prove the point, but unfortunately, the woman kept her head down, lost in thought, with no idea of what was going on.
"Forget it, no need."
After saying this, Wan’er logged off with eyes full of disappointnt.
"Sister Cream, you’ve really gotten into trouble!"
Su Ran knew a storm was coming, and soon he would face challenges he shouldn’t have to endure.
"Overturning Water, I’m sorry, I was wrong..."
Cream Boy said in a panic, fearing that this incident would cause Little Ran to detest her, making the loss outweigh the gain.
"Sigh, what’s done is done, words are useless now, let’s just take one step at a ti!"
Su Ran shook his head helplessly, "When you stand upright, there’s nothing to fear. It’s not a big deal!"
"So, what are you going to do next, call to explain?"
"No need, the more you explain, the more it seems you’re covering up, better to let it be."
Su Ran continued digging at the ground with his pickaxe, saying, "Keep playing the ga—if the sky falls, a tall one will hold it up, right?"
"You’ve got a really big heart!"
Cream Boy muttered softly, though Su Ran’s words made sense — when you’re upright, there’s nothing to fear. The key is she wasn’t, and if pressed, she’d find it hard to explain...
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
As Su Ran continued digging, a sizeable pit ford at his feet. While channeling his frustration into strength, an unusual sound ca out, and his spirits lifted — he struck gold!
However.
When he pulled the earth apart and lifted his pickaxe, a large human head appeared in his sight.
The pickaxe was lodged at his neck, blood spurting out profusely; it seed he’d hit the carotid artery.
"Oh my God!!!"
Cream Boy had never seen such a scene, almost fainting from fright. She quickly turned away, closing her eyes, daring not to look again.
"This..."
Su Ran, too, was scared stiff, a shiver of goosebumps covering him, feeling an urge to flee. He kept reminding himself that this was a ga, not reality, and everything was just system data. After adjusting his mindset, he was no longer as afraid.
He feared the head would turn into a ghost, so he cautiously put away the pickaxe, and then braced himself to look at the facial features, trying to figure if it was a fierce ghost just by appearance.
"Whoa, Fatty!"
Upon recognizing the familiar face, Su Ran’s eyes widened; this wasn’t just anyone but the Fatty player who called him here!
"What... what’s going on?"
Su Ran felt sothing eerie was going on. If Fatty was in a state of death, his na in the friend interface should be grayed out. But if he was alive, why didn’t he react at all after being hit with a pickaxe? It was puzzling.
"Fatty?"
To unravel the confusion, Su Ran directly opened a dialog with Fatty, "Where are you now?"
"God Overturning Water, have you arrived? Please save !!!"
Fatty quickly responded, "I’ve been sealed and buried underground, now in an out-of-body spirit state. The soul and body can’t stray too far; otherwise, I’ll be judged dead. But I didn’t expect so fool to dig my body up!"
"Ahem, I’m that fool you ntioned."
Su Ran was speechless, surprised by the situation — it was a bit awkward.
"What? Hello Elder Brother, it’s not actually talking, I was helping Fatty Brother with his offline tasks while he was having a bathroom ergency; he’ll be online soon to find you."
"... "
Su Ran didn’t know what to say anymore. With the story reaching this point, what more could he say? To prevent embarrassnt for Fatty, he decided to just roll with it.
After about a minute, Fatty sent another ssage.
"God Overturning Water, I’m back. Just now, my brother was on my account. Did he say anything wrong? If he offended you, just let know and I’ll deal with him!"
"Fatty, stop with the nonsense. How can I rescue you?"
Su Ran was too lazy to bicker with Fatty, cutting straight to the chase.
"You just need to put my body back in the ground, and once it touches my soul, I’ll be fine."
Fatty, noticing Su Ran wasn’t angry, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Put you back? That’s easy!"
Without saying more, Su Ran stomped on Fatty’s head, feeling incomplete, he stomped a few more tis until he heard a ’crack’, then stopped.
Oops, sprained the neck.
"God, could you be a bit gentler..."
Fatty’s soul watched his body getting beaten up, trembling in fear, especially with those last two stomps, they were way too harsh!
But he also understood Overturning Water Can’t Be Regained was definitely taking revenge for public humiliation — after all, he just cursed him...
"Overturning Water, do you have a tendency for corpse abuse?"
Cream Boy couldn’t bear to watch, "The person is already dead, there’s no need to keep doing that. If you’re mad at for saying sothing wrong and want to vent, co at instead. The more you do this, the more I feel guilty..."
Great, now this misunderstanding is getting even worse.
