Chapter 191: The Last World

    Cheng Xiao was dumbfounded.

    What the other party said was very simple, obviously they were all simple words, but when he heart them combined he couldn’t react for a long while until they let go of their hands:

    “…wait, what?”

    Ge Xiu: “…”

    He took a deep breath and smiled: “Don’t pay attention to him.”

    The man frowned slightly: “Why? Obviously you also…”

    Before he finished speaking, he was elbowed in abdomen: “Ouch!”

    Ge Xiu withdrew his arm without changing his face, curve of his lips deepened a bit: “—Some people just like to joke.”

    Cheng Xiao: “…”

    He stared blankly at the two people in front of him, his gaze moved between them.

    Not knowing why… He always felt that there was an atmosphere between these two people that made others unable to interfere.

    Like a natural familiarity that would still be revealed inadvertently even if it wasn’t explicitly expressed.

    There was always a smile on the young man’s face.

    A looming, careless smile hung on his lips, making him seem peaceful and friendly to everyone, he rarely expressed any overly sharp views and opinions, but no one can see through the faint smile and see clearly his thoughts and intentions.

    The depths of those dark eyes were always cold, as if they are separated from the whole world by a layer of diaphragm, alienated and indifferent to everything.

    Coupled with his appearance, the astonishing face was extremely striking, just like how beautiful colorful animals were often poisonous. Even if they haven’t noticed it, people would always subconsciously stay away from danger, instinctively keeping a distance when talking or touching, as if some primitive nature was quietly whispering in their mind.

    Before today, Cheng Xiao was actually not that sensitive about this aspect, at most it was just an vague feeling.

    Although the young man in front of him still had a smile on his face and a calm expression on his face, he was inexplicably more energetic. The suspiciously intimace attitude was not expressed in his words, instead seeping from the details, making people suddenly realize how different his attitude was when facing other people.

    After being elbowed hard, the tall man obediently stopped talking.

    His eyelashes drooped, his eyes were slightly darkened, there was an inexplicable sense of gentle indulgence in the black deep eyes.

    The two stood together unexpectedly harmoniously.

    Cheng Xiao couldn’t hold back, and asked, “You… have known each other for a long time?”

    Ge Xiu shrugged: “Pretty much.”

    “Is he also a player from this game?”

    Ge Xiu paused for two seconds: “…You could say that “

    Cheng Xiao widened his eyes slightly, and said with emotion: “Then you two met in the game, what a coincidence!”

    The man smiled slightly: “It’s probably fate.”

    Ge Xiu: “…”

    He turned his head and glanced at the man standing behind him with a complicated face, who was clearly speaking nonsense without a script, he took a deep breath and decisively ended the current unnutritious topic: “By the way, he has no place to live, could he stay here for a while?”

    Cheng Xiao nodded blankly: “Yes, it’s possible…”

    “But there’s only one guest room,” he scratched his head with some embarrassment: “I don’t know…”

    Don’t know if this gentleman would mind sleeping on the sofa instead.

    However, before Cheng Xiao could finish speaking, the man took over the conversation naturally: “It’s okay, I can share a room with him.”

    His eyes were dark and his smile was gentle and shallow, speaking as if he thought it was reasonable: “After all, we’re the guests, there’s no need to embarrass the host.”

    Cheng Xiao was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Ge Xiu.

    “…” Ge Xiu pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, “All right.”

    Cheng Xiao was shocked in his heart.

    Although the two were not very familiar, he subconsciously felt that Ge Xiu was not the kind of person who could casually let other people share the same room with him.

    He actually agreed so easily…

    For some reason, Cheng Xiao actually felt that the man’s self-introduction at the beginning seemed quite authentic.

    He stepped aside and let the two walk in.

    When the man passed by Cheng Xiao’s side, a familiar chilling breath passed by.

    Cheng Xiao’s nose itched slightly and he sneezed.

    He rubbed his slightly red nose, looked up at the straight back of the man who had passed by and inexplicably recalled the touch when he shook hands with him just now.

    ——Were normal human’s hands so cold?

    This fleeting question flashed through Cheng Xiao’s mind, so fast that he could hardly catch it.

    He shook his head, brushed that thought out of his mind, and reached out to close the open door.

    Cheng Xiao poured a glass of water for the two of them and then sat on the sofa.

    He took a sip of the warm water in his glass and asked, “How was it? Has the last instance went well?”

    Ge Xiu nodded casually: “It was alright.”

    Cheng Xiao was a little nervous: “Had many people died?”

    Ge Xiu Xiu pondered and after a moment of thought replied: “One.”

    Cheng Xiao was stunned: “Only one?”

    Although he didn’t enter the game many times, but for only one player to die, even he knew that this kind of situation was unusual.

    Ge Xiu thought for a while: “But… To be precise, it should be two?”

    If the instance’s boss was also counted.

    “Two is not too much.” Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: “It seems that the difficulty of your last instance wasn’t very difficult, at least this game still has a little bit of conscience. After all, you were only given an hour of preparation time after the last instance. …”

    Ge Xiu listened with a smile on his face and nodded without saying a word.

    At this moment, Cheng Xiao suddenly thought of something: “By the way, speaking of it, when will you start the next game?”

    Ge Xiu lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist.

    Unexpectedly, the time on the electronic dial seemed to be disturbed by electromagnetic interference, flashing non-stop, as if something went wrong.

    Cheng Xiao leaned over and frowned: “…what’s going on?”

    The foreheads of the two were very close, as if they were about to touch each other.

    He was puzzled: “I’ve never seen such a situation before…”

    Halfway through the sentence, Cheng Xiao felt a chill climb up the back of his neck, an unsettling feeling like being targeted by a predator climbed up from his back. The sense of danger trained in the instance immediately took effect. He raised his head abruptly, just in time to meet the man’s dark eyes with unfathomable emotions.

    Those eyes were pitch black and there was no obvious emotional fluctuation, but just a look made people’s heart skip a beat.

    Cheng Xiao stepped back subconsciously, putting distance between him and Ge Xiu.

    The man casually withdrew his gaze and looked down at the water glass again.

    Cheng Xiao shrank his neck, this chilling feeling was like a cold, slippery cold-blooded animal winding around the back of his neck, even though it had disappeared quickly, but the residual touch still made him feel tremble in his heart.

    At this time, Ge Xiu raised his head: “It settled.”

    Cheng Xiao subconsciously leaned forward, a bit stiffly, and then stopped abruptly, maintaining that half-hunched posture and asked,

    “What’s the matter?”

    Ge Xiu was unaware of the undercurrents in the living room.

    He raised his wrist to show Cheng Xiao: “The number on it had fixed and the next copy will start in 22 hours.”

    At the very last, the watch on his wrist no longer acted crazy as if disturbed by something, but finally settled on a number: 22:43

    Cheng Xiao frowned.

    Although the interval this time had indeed increased compared to the last time, it was still too short.

    Generally speaking, seven days between the second and third dungeon was a relatively normal time span, but he had only one day before re-entering the instances, which was simply a tactic of exhausting enemy…

    He looked up at Ge Xiu hesitantly.

    The young man in front of him had a calm face, not at all frightened by the very short time left his watch, almost no different from the last time he saw his watch had only one hour left.

    Ge Xiu stretched his body, yawned, and said lazily:

    “In this case, I still have some time to rest—— I’ll take a shower and then go to sleep.”

    Cheng Xiao was a little confused: “Wait, wait, with less than a day left, why don’t you make any preparations?”

    Ge Xiu stopped and turned to look at him:

    “What preparations do we need?”

    Cheng Xiao shook the phone in his hand: “I didn’t have time to tell you before, because you entered the instance so shortly, but there is a forum for players of this game, where we usually exchange experience, exchange props or form a team, wait a minute I can pull you in…”

    “No need.” Ge Xiu interrupted him.

    “Why?” Cheng Xiao was taken aback.

    Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes: “Is there a high probability that an instance will appear repeatedly?”

    Cheng Xiao hesitated: “It is in theory, but…the possibility is not high…”

    “That’s right.” Ge Xiu turned around, walked towards the bathroom without stopping, and said slowly: “Anyway, nothing will change after joining the forum, so why waste time?”

    With a bang, the bathroom door closed.

    The slender figure of the young man was also blocked behind him.

    Only Cheng Xiao and that man were left in the room, the atmosphere became stagnant in an instant.

    Cheng Xiao suddenly felt a little restless.

    As if pacing beside a sleeping beast, the uneasiness that seemed to rise from the depths of his soul made him feel like there was a thorn in his back.

    But the other party obviously didn’t think so.

    The tall man sat relaxedly on the sofa, his slender legs crossed on top of each other, his expression was indifferent and calm, his eyelashes were slightly downcast, but his eyes were completely glued to the closed door.

    Soon, the sound of dripping water came from the bathroom.

    The man raised his eyelids and his dark eyes casually glanced at Cheng Xiao who was sitting beside him.

    Although he didn’t say a word, Cheng Xiao couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.

    He hurriedly stood up, stammered an excuse and fled back to his room without looking back.

    The door closed behind him.

    The man’s substantial sight and that cold and powerful aura were blocked by the door.

    Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and his body relaxed slowly.

    He slowly recovered.

    No, this was obviously his home!

    Why was he the one acting like a thief!

    Cheng Xiao scratched his hair in frustration, sat down on the edge of the bed, turned on his phone casually and entered the player’s forum out of boredom.

    A very conspicuous post floated on the front page.

    It looked like it had just been published, but a tall building of comments was built in a short time, with a bright red HOT written beside it, making it very conspicuous.

    That title was particularly shocking:

    “Do you believe that players can counter-kill the instance boss?”
