Chapter 131: If I Leave, Bai Kai Might d*e
“What the hell! It moved! It’s alive!” Luxianbei exclaimed as she saw the unknown object in the Proxy Player Sister’s hands suddenly start moving. “What the hell is this thing?”
Some things, if they’re figurines and look a bit bizarre, are no big deal; they’re just unique. But if it’s alive, that’s a whole different story.
Before that… lump… which looked even more random than a Ditto started moving, Luxianbei thought it was a figurine made in a Pokémon style, but now she felt it was a Q version of a dark god’s offspring.
Even more frightening was that while the creature wriggled, Luxianbei felt a faint but highly similar spirit energy fluctuation emanating from it, akin to that of the Proxy Player Sister.
Could that thing be her “offspring”?
Offspring of calamity could indeed be considered offspring of a dark god, Luxianbei thought.
“What do you mean ‘thing’?” the Proxy Player Sister rolled her eyes and gently stroked the small object in her hands, saying impatiently, “It has a name!”
Actually, Luxianbei’s big reaction didn’t surprise her at all.
She was well aware of her own artistic skills.
Simply put, if she made it realistic, she wouldn’t be able to stand it herself, which is why she went for a Q-style design.
Luxianbei looked at the serious expression of the Proxy Player Sister and then at the small creature in her arms, dumbfounded. “It has a name? What is it?”
“It’s called Lu·Pei·Q·Zhejing·Qian…”
As the Proxy Player Sister opened her mouth, she poured out a long string of names in “Mary Sue·Ice Crystal Butterfly Spirit·P” style. Luxianbei listened for a full minute without any sign of her stopping and finally couldn’t help but interrupt, “Stop, stop! What kind of ridiculous name is that? Just give me the abbreviation, there must be one, right? There definitely is!”
With such a long name, if there was no abbreviation, it might take her a good ten minutes to call it out once, meaning she could do nothing else all day except call the name of that small creature.
However…
The Proxy Player Sister was so idle; maybe she actually spent her days doing this to pass the time? Luxianbei thought.
“Oh, I haven’t thought of an abbreviation yet.” The Proxy Player Sister replied calmly. “After all, if any one of those characters is omitted, it wouldn’t be quite right. But if you find it troublesome, you can just use ‘it’ as a substitute because anyway, it’s just you, me, and it here.”
“…” Luxianbei opened her mouth, just about to retort, but then seemed to realize something. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the dilapidated, crumbling city behind the Proxy Player Sister, the foggy sky above, and the enormous shadow that seemed to move along the horizon like a living creature, and chose to remain silent.
Although she still wasn’t clear on what had happened to the Proxy Player Sister, her instincts told her that that long string of names seemed to carry something, like…
A d*ath list?
At least she recognized more than five familiar words from that long list, and those words had all appeared in the subordinates the Proxy Player Sister recommended to her.
Even though she had never actively searched for the subordinates recommended by the Proxy Player Sister, after getting acquainted with the Void, Lin Nian, and the various urban legends and spiritual ability users in the Urban Legends Chat Group, she had asked them to investigate those people a little.
The result was unanimous; every single one of the subordinate choices recommended by the Proxy Player Sister was already dead…
Seeing Luxianbei suddenly fall silent, as if trying to regain her attention, the Proxy Player Sister reached out and snapped her fingers near her ear, “Look over here, look over here! Don’t space out! You haven’t told me how you got all these injuries!”
“If you don’t tell me, how can I help you?”
At her words, Luxianbei was momentarily stunned, suddenly recalling everything that had happened before she lost consciousness, her expression changing, with a hint of chill rising on her back.
Before losing consciousness, she distinctly felt that her body had largely lost sensation, and from the bizarre abilities exhibited by Oujinbang, it seemed her flesh and bl**d had turned into gold.
I’m really in deep trouble…
Though she liked gold, she hadn’t liked it enough to exchange her body parts for it.
Thinking this, Luxianbei hurriedly recounted how, in an attempt to save Jiang Li, she had fallen into a trap set by Fang Ji, following false leads all the way to the Gobi Desert.
Hearing Luxianbei mention Yumen Pass, the Proxy Player Sister froze slightly, her eyes becoming dazed as she murmured.
“Yumen Pass… Yumen Pass…”
In that instant, it was as if she saw a handsome and flamboyant face stubbornly approaching her, holding a bath ball and a little yellow duck, sweetly saying to her, “You don’t love me anymore; you used to love bathing with me the most when you were little.”
Sometimes, when you forget someone who loved you and recall them while trying to find them again, you realize they have long vanished from the world, and that’s more painful than killing them yourself.
Seeing the Proxy Player Sister in an unusual state, Luxianbei stretched out her hand and waved in front of her eyes, “Hey? Are you okay?”
The Proxy Player Sister snapped back to reality and shook her head at Luxianbei, “I’m fine, just suddenly thought of some very helpless things. You can keep talking.”
Luxianbei looked at her skeptically before detailing how she had been used as a pawn and opened the gates of Yumen Pass.
After finishing, she immediately asked her most concerned question, “I shouldn’t be seriously injured, right? I won’t d*e, right? If I had known, why did I meddle in this? I’m really foolish; only thinking of being brave, not realizing that some situations, if you have to act tough, come with a price of life…”
Regardless of how to change, her desire to survive was not so easily swayed.
Listening to Luxianbei’s aggrieved complaints, the Proxy Player Sister dug at her ears and rolled her eyes, saying, “I didn’t expect that I was just a little busy with my own matters lately, and you went and caused such a ruckus behind my back?”
Upon hearing Luxianbei’s complaints, the negative emotions triggered by her memories crumbled completely.
She just couldn’t hold her composure!
“As for what it is, I can’t tell you. We proxies also have private lives…”
She could never tell Luxianbei about the muddy business and clay figurine nonsense; that sounded too childish and would undermine the authority she had built for a long time.
“Let me ask you, do you feel dizzy and fatigued?”
“Uh-huh!” Luxianbei nodded.
“Do you have difficulty breathing?”
Luxianbei tried taking a deep breath and felt like something was lodged in her chest, causing discomfort, so she nodded again.
“Do you feel your heart racing?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Luxianbei covered her chest, “It’s beating like crazy, just like when I kissed my first love.”
“…” The Proxy Player Sister supported her chin with one hand, looking at Luxianbei seriously for a few seconds before saying, “If that’s the case, I’m afraid I won’t be able to save you.”
“Huh?” Luxianbei’s heart tightened, nearly dropping to her knees and hugging the Proxy Player Sister’s thighs, “But you could save me before so many times, why can’t you this time? Is my injury really that serious?”
The Proxy Player Sister kicked Luxianbei back to where she started as she tried to lunge at her, impatiently saying, “It’s just gold poisoning; what’s there to save? Just detox for a few days, and you’ll be fine.”
“The poison resistance of a witch-type urban legend is quite high; it’s not that easy to be poisoned to d*ath.”
“Your behavior is just like those little celebrities who call for an ambulance when they get a tiny cut on their hand; it’s just pathetic.”
Although the situation was indeed somewhat serious… The Proxy Player Sister added in her heart.
It was her first time seeing someone or an urban legend, gold-poisoned to the point of their entire body radiating a golden glow and still looking vibrant.
After all, it was the core of the witch-type urban legend that couldn’t endure it…
Perhaps part of the Emperor of Humanity’s powers contained within the core of the mythological species urban legend was at work? The Proxy Player Sister thought.
One could say there were differences in physical constitution among urban legends and that they couldn’t be generalized.
After listening to the Proxy Player Sister’s words, Luxianbei frowned and sank into thought.
Seeing this, the Proxy Player Sister’s face darkened as she ruthlessly exposed her thoughts, “Stop thinking about it; there’s no way to extract the gold elements poisoning you without bleeding.”
“But if you want to bleed, I can help you with that.”
Did she not know Luxianbei?
At such a time, to suddenly think deeply, what else could there be to think about?
At her words, Luxianbei thought for a moment and said earnestly, “What’s the success rate of this bleeding you mentioned?”
“Eighty to ninety percent…”
“Then forget it; it’s too dangerous!”
The Proxy Player Sister, “…” I knew it; just as expected from you!
“Alright, alright, let’s get back to serious matters.”
The Proxy Player Sister waved her hand, pulling the topic back on track. “You just said you opened the gates of Yumen Pass and let a group of Miracle Cult members in?”
“Right,” Luxianbei nodded. “Not just the Miracle Cult, but also half urban legend tribes. I might have been trapped too; my situation is very dangerous. Duo La A, think of something fast!”
“…” The Proxy Player Sister shot a glance at Luxianbei, hesitating for a moment.
To be honest, she really didn’t have any highly feasible plans.
Because she had never entered a well-preserved Yumen Pass; what she saw of Yumen Pass was a desolate ruin, a shell that had been devoured by the Nightmare.
All that should have existed to maintain the operation of the God Realm had long since vanished without a trace.
Like a cicada shell, it had its shape but no flesh or life.
As a calamity-grade urban legend that feeds on unbearable “past,” Nightmares love untethered god realms like Yumen Pass that have been passed down since ancient times.
For it, this was like a national banquet-level delicacy.
Once it is completely eroded and corrupted by it, no matter the god realm, ruins, or any ancient relics, they will fall into the real nightmare woven by its powers, losing all research and utility value.
The reason she went to that ruin after the destruction of Yumen Pass was entirely due to hearing that Bai Kai had appeared there, and since then, there had been no further news.
Though she didn’t know whether the rumors were true or not, she really hadn’t seen Bai Kai since then, which was why she thought to check out Yumen Pass in the end.
However…
Listening to Luxianbei now, it seemed that the current Yumen Pass hadn’t yet been corrupted and eroded by the Nightmare?
Thinking this, the Proxy Player Sister shook her head at Luxianbei, saying, “This time, I’m afraid apart from providing you with combat proxies when necessary, I can’t help you with anything else.”
“Combat proxies…” Luxianbei mumbled, then suddenly seemed to recall something, her eyes lighting up, “Right! If it comes to that, just help me hack the system so I can escape from Yumen Pass!”
She wasn’t unwilling to stop Fang Ji from causing trouble, but hadn’t she already tried and failed?
She could see that this place of Yumen Pass was now a land of turmoil. Since Miaomiao Sauce wasn’t here, her best option was still to leave quickly.
“No, you still can’t leave!” the Proxy Player Sister firmly refused.
“Why not?”
“Because…” The Proxy Player Sister fell silent for a moment, staring directly into Luxianbei’s eyes and said, “If you leave, Bai Kai might d*e!”
Upon hearing this, Luxianbei’s heart tightened, her pupils trembling violently.
She suddenly remembered the jar of yellow sand she discovered in Bai Kai’s home…
