Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Who’s backstabbing ?_1 Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Who’s backstabbing ?_1 The next day, when Luo Xi awoke, his two roommates had already gotten up early to form a team and head to the library to study, leaving the entire dormitory as empty as a rental property.
Luo Xi rubbed his eyes, sat up, and fished his cellphone out from a hanging basket nearby.
He hadn’t died even once in the ga yesterday, so today he hadn’t been drained by that so-called ‘great will’, and he was feeling great, as if he could punch a cow to death.
“Dawn”, start!
Anxious to get into the ga, Luo Xi prepared to begin his true journey in this world.
After all, Winter City wouldn’t let him in, and he had already provoked the big boss behind Grey Stone Street, so it was clear that he no longer belonged in this place.
In any ga, players must eventually leave the newbie village.
Though it was unclear if Winter City counted as a newbie village.
It was regrettable that he wouldn’t see those two cute beast-eared girls anymore, without having patted any of their ears or tails.
Especially Little Aina’s fluffy Big Tail, he really wanted to pat it with his own hands—ahem.
With a sigh, Luo Xi entered the ga.
[Traveler, you have finally returned!]
[Ding! Traveler, while you were asleep last night, you have unfortunately contracted an Interdiate Corruption Curse! Based on your physical condition, the curse will take effect for 3 days.]
[Ding! Traveler, you have acquired a negative status: Life Corrosion—Your all qualities are reduced by 11% (Every mont you will feel the acute pain of your internal organs decaying, and with ti, death will draw nearer, deteriorating your physical condition.)]
An opening thunderstrike!
Luo Xi: “????”
What the hell is going on?
The shock was greater than seeing all his funds in red last night.
How did his perfectly fine ga character wake up to find himself afflicted with a life-threatening curse?
Luo Xi found a detailed description of the curse in his character’s status template.
[Interdiate Corruption Curse: After the curse takes effect, your internal flesh and organs will gradually decay, and you will die amidst unbearable pain and panic.]
[Your remaining life span: 63 hours]
[Note: Poor Traveler, obviously, soone quietly plotted against you while you were soundly sleeping last night, inflicting you with such a vicious spell. They didn’t wish to kill you outright, but rather to have you suffer and die in agony.]
[You don’t know who cursed you, but you have your suspicions.]
[After all, since coming to Grey Stone Street, the only people you’ve truly provoked are two, right?]
[One has already had his neck snapped by your hand, and people in Dream World cannot resurrect after death, so it can’t be Black Snake.]
[The other, known as ‘King Rat’, seems amiable and dignified but has developed a killing intent towards you. Could it be him?]
Is there even a need for suspicion?
In Luo Xi’s relationship module, there were only six people in total, not counting the dead old hag from who knows where and the unscrupulous guards of Winter City. It couldn’t possibly have been those two Little Lolitas who plotted against him, could it?
[Traveler, you already have the answer in your heart.]
[So Traveler, what will be your next move?]
[① Stick to the original plan and leave Winter City, heading to other towns.]
[② Find a way to make the bastard who backstabbed you pay.]
Luo Xi narrowed his eyes.
King Rat’s character truly lived up to his reputation for bearing grudges. As the behind-the-scenes boss of Grey Stone Street, he would actually stoop to sneaking into soone’s room at night to cast curses.
He had the ans to kill him silently, yet he used a curse, was it to let him die in fear and anxiety due to the deadly curse?
Too bad for him, his ga character could resurrect, and dying this ti would be nothing more than losing a life.
What’s more, as long as he didn’t log into the ga personall, he wouldn’t even feel the pain inflicted on his character in the ga.
Revenge?
As much as he wanted it, it was difficult.
It was obvious that they weren’t on the sa level of power.
He also wondered whether King Rat’s affection for the two Lolitas was sincere or not. Was such an old fox truly as loyal and righteous as he claid to be?
Luo Xi had his doubts.
However, at least for this period, they should be safe. King Rat had even ntioned celebrating Wei’er’s birthday a week later, which seed on the surface to reveal the responsibility of a caring elder.
[Traveler, you couldn’t bear to leave like this. You need to find a way to make the person who backstabbed you pay.]
[You also began to doubt the motives of King Rat caring for Liya’s two daughters.]
[Enduring the severe pain within, you crawled out of bed. Due to the curse’s effect, your mobility was drastically reduced.]
[Your Happiness Level -29]
[Had it been the old you, you surely wouldn’t have been able to get up, right?]
[Your hatred value for King Rat 21]
[You got out of bed and opened the window, and a chilly wind rushed in, carrying loads of snowflakes. You saw that Grey Stone Street was covered in a vast expanse of pure white, with visibility nearly obscured beyond ten ters.]
[Well, even if you wanted to leave this place, you’ll have to wait until the snow stops.]
[You put on the clothes and hat prepared by the inn’s proprietor last night, which ant no one could see the horns on your head, and you blended into the environnt of Grey Stone Street.]
[You descended the stairs, and the innkeeper, seeing you, nervously told you that the severe winter was approaching. Soon, heavy snow would block the mountains and roads, suggesting that you should leave Grey Stone Street imdiately and head to the warr regions in the east or south, or find a place to spend the winter.]
[Traveler, you heard footsteps, soone was coming down from the upper floor.]
[Aside from you, there was another guest at the inn last night?]
[Ding! Detection of the other party’s title: Otherworld Traveler.]
[Otherworld Traveler: When two Otherworld Travelers co within 10 ters of each other, they will recognize each other’s identities.]
[Ding! Traveler, for the first ti in Dream World, you have t a soul from another land like yourself.]
[Your Happiness Level 1]
[Your surprise value 33]
[Your Alertness Value 12]
Luo Xi was sowhat taken aback.
Another player?
Co to think of it, wasn’t the title of Otherworld Traveler given at the beginning of the ga? It even had this hidden effect.
[Traveler, the other party recognized you as well and seed very happy. He told you his na was Chu Tianwen, from Xia country. Would you tell him your na and origin?]
[① Ignore this person.]
[② Tell him your na is (editable this ti).]
After thinking for a mont, Luo Xi typed a few random characters.
[You told him your na was Chu Jiuge, also from Xia country.]
[The other party was taken aback by your response.]
