Chapter 138: "June 17th.
The surrounding gods and demons as tall as these numbered in the dozens, and at this moment, these towering gods and demons were all staring straight at him with wide-open eyes, causing his breath to involuntarily catch.
But soon, he forcibly calmed himself down, it's no big deal, this is just a dream, everything is fictitious. This can only suggest that Tuberculosis Rabbit's dream tonight seems quite lively.
That's normal.
He must not be distracted, his mission is to scare Tuberculosis Rabbit to death.
But quickly, he suddenly realized something and immediately turned around, staring at Tuberculosis Rabbit sitting on the peak of Green Mountain, and said word by word, "How do you know I am Gao Yiming, and how do you know you're dreaming? And you also know this is your dream?"
In order to scare Tuberculosis Rabbit in the dream, he had transformed himself into a monster covered in blood with a head full of eyeballs. With this appearance, let alone his mother, even he wouldn't be able to recognize himself in a mirror.
But Tuberculosis Rabbit could actually recognize him at a glance?
And how did Tuberculosis Rabbit know this is her own dream?
Who knows they are dreaming while dreaming? Unless it's sleep paralysis!
"Look at you all."
Tuberculosis Rabbit didn't pay any attention to Gao Yiming, instead, she looked somewhat bored at those towering gods and demons and waved her hand: "You've scared my new guest. Return to normal now, stop messing around."
"Oh."
The dozens of towering gods and demons surrounding Gao Yiming all nodded together, their voices resounding deafeningly throughout the heavens and earth.
Immediately afterward—
These dozens of towering gods and demons suddenly began to disintegrate, then transformed into little specks of light that fell upon Green Mountain.
This was on a slope of Green Mountain that wasn't very steep.
Tuberculosis Rabbit herself was sitting at the summit, and as these little specks of light fell on Green Mountain, they turned back into individuals sitting cross-legged on the mountainside, listening intently with serious expressions, like devout disciples.
At this moment, not only did Gao Yiming not feel the slightest relief, but he also felt his heart rate skyrocket, his body stiffening on the spot, and his eyes filled with a thick sense of fear as he stared at the tens of thousands on the mountainside!
These tens of thousands of people were all men, and moreover, they all looked exactly like Tuberculosis Rabbit!
Their faces bore no difference!
Only their clothing was different.
"This, this, this..."
Gao Yiming, who had originally planned to sneak into Tuberculosis Rabbit's dream to scare her, was now the one scared stiff. He felt as though he couldn't breathe anymore. Being stared at by tens of thousands of eyes, the hair on his back had long stood on end.
The next second—
Gao Yiming suddenly found that quite a few Tuberculosis Rabbits had encircled him. Before he could say much else, he watched as they all approached him, grabbed him, and then tore the flesh from his body indiscriminately, stuffing it into their mouths.
"No!"
He could only let out a wretched scream before feeling his Vitality rapidly diminish. At that moment, he just wanted to die quickly; the feeling of being devoured alive by a crowd was too excruciating, driving him to the brink of despair!
Just as his Vitality vanished in an instant.
He faintly heard a notification sound in his ear.
"I regret to inform you that you have been officially eliminated from the Ascension Game at 21:38 on June 16th; you will now become a Hell Player."
"In the SSS-level map, Hell, you will continue to eke out an existence and have the opportunity to return to the Ascension Game by completing tasks."
"If you die again in the SSS-level map, Hell, you will be permanently eliminated with no chance to return to the Ascension Game and will become a janitor."
"Please listen carefully to the following instructions..."
The commotion on the mid-slope of Green Mountain quickly subsided, and all became quiet again, with tens of thousands of Tuberculosis Rabbits continuing to sit on the mountainside and silently looking up at Tuberculosis Rabbit.
"Hmm..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit, sitting cross-legged on a low rock at the summit of Green Mountain, propped her chin in thought: "Let me think, where was I?"
"Oh right, I remember now."
"Talking about Sword Without End's death, then Yi told Sword Without End to help kill Wang Yimei and Gao Yiming once more in Hell."
"Not sure if they can be found..."
The wind howled incessantly.
The calm and unhurried voice of Tuberculosis Rabbit echoed on the summit, as it did in the outside world within a house.
The weather in both worlds was somewhat similar.
Dark clouds loomed overhead in both, with ceaseless howling winds, but the outside had already seen a torrential downpour, whereas in Tuberculosis Rabbit's dream there was no rainstorm yet.
After some time passed.
A portion of the people sitting midway up Green Mountain began to rise and queue up to approach Tuberculosis Rabbit at the peak.
"Your eyeball fell out again, huh?"
Tuberculosis Rabbit twisted the man's head in front of her for a look, then forcefully stuffed the eyeball back into its socket and gave it a good punch before patting his head to signal him to move back.
"There, that should do it. If you don't look down at the ground too much, your eyeballs won't fall out. Try to look straight ahead and upwards more often."
"Next one."
"What's wrong with you? Your abdominal wound split open again?"
Tuberculosis Rabbit pulled out a pile of tools from her bosom and gestured for the man to come closer before she began stitching him up, and while doing so, she said, "Eat less of your own intestines, try some others', and maybe change up your diet now and then, hm?"
The man in front of her had an abdominal wound so gruesome it practically split him in two, which would have been fatal to a normal person, yet this man could still walk and even nodded seriously upon hearing Tuberculosis Rabbit's advice.
Eerily, this man's face was identical to that of Tuberculosis Rabbit.
Even if Chen Yi were here, he wouldn't be able to tell any difference between the two Tuberculosis Rabbit's appearances.
The tens of thousands of people halfway up the mountainside all had faces identical to the Tuberculosis Rabbit.
The whole scene looked especially unsettling.
But the Tuberculosis Rabbit sitting at the top of Green Mountain seemed to have no reaction to this, just continually picking up tools and starting to sew the wounds of the men lined up and walking in front of him.
He mumbled to himself as he stitched.
It was all nonsensical chatter.
Such as what had happened today, what he had eaten with Yi, which maps he had visited today and what he had done there—it looked like a country housewife moving her stool to her front door to gossip with the neighbors.
Perhaps after a long time had passed.
The Tuberculosis Rabbit stopped what he was doing in his hands, stretched after standing up and then looked towards the line of people halfway up the mountain, "Alright, it's time for me to wake up, I've slept enough."
His words trailed off.
All the people on the mountainside stood up, their pupils filled with sadness and a faint hope, staring straight at the Tuberculosis Rabbit.
"That look again."
The Tuberculosis Rabbit pursed his lips with some boredom and impatience, "Annoying, every time I see you guys like this, it feels like my own dirge is about to start playing."
"I'm off."
...
Dawn had not yet broken.
But under the rule of June, everyone should also be awake by now. Going to bed at nine in the evening and getting up at six in the morning meant nearly nine hours of sleep, which was enough.
Chen Yi washed up simply, and when he came out and saw the Tuberculosis Rabbit was also awake, he casually sat down on the sofa to light a post-wake-up cigarette, trying to move his right leg.
"Awake?"
The effect of that bandage prop seemed really good. Just one night had passed, and he felt like the injury on his right leg had almost healed; he could walk normally, with only a slight pain and an itchy feeling from the wound healing.
At this rate, it was estimated that the injury would be almost completely healed by the next day.
"Yep."
The Tuberculosis Rabbit, groggy, rubbed his sleepy eyes, gave himself a hasty wash in the bathroom, and then sat back down on the sofa opposite Yi, casually tearing off a page from the calendar.
'June 17th.'
"It's already the 17th, huh? I need to find some time to go to that wilderness map and finish building my house."
The Tuberculosis Rabbit suddenly remembered the unfinished house on the wilderness map, somewhat confused. But then something else came to mind, his thoughts jumping swiftly as he raised an eyebrow to signal Yi to look towards the ice coffin by the wall, grinning and saying, Read chapters at empire
"How about it, Yi, did you take a look this morning?"
"My handiwork is quite decent right? I've cleaned up Sword Without End thoroughly."
"Pretty good."
When he got up, Chen Yi saw that Sword Without End inside the ice coffin had been tidied up extremely cleanly. But then he grew curious and casually said, "Speaking of which, where did you learn this skill from? It feels like you knew it even without studying."
"For someone to self-learn restoring a body using 3D modeling techniques, that's usually quite hard, isn't it?"
"How advanced is the internet, of course I learned it online." The Tuberculosis Rabbit shrugged, a touch smug, "Back when I was watching over corpses in the morgue, I studied earnestly every night, indulging in learning, unable to extricate myself."
"I have to say, the internet is a wonderful thing, in the past, if you wanted to learn a skill, you had to seek teachers everywhere."
"Now you can learn it all on the internet."
"Pretty good."
Chen Yi stopped bringing up the topic, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.
"Bang, bang."
"I'll check it out."
Before Chen Yi could stand up, the Tuberculosis Rabbit sprang from the sofa and rushed toward the door.
He swung open the security door.
Seeing the person standing outside, the Tuberculosis Rabbit hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yi, maybe you should take a look?"
"Hmm?"
Seeing the Tuberculosis Rabbit's reaction, Chen Yi squinted his eyes and took his cane out of the backpack, leaning on it as he headed towards the entrance, ready to shoot at any time.
"Jiaye?"
But soon, Chen Yi saw that the visitor was actually Jiaye, holding a thermal container that looked like he was delivering food, followed by Tie Chui with a beaming smile on his face.
"Come in, come in."
Though Chen Yi was somewhat puzzled, friends coming to the door meant there was no reason not to welcome them, "Find a place to sit, the place is a bit messy, please excuse it."
"No worries."
Seeing that Chen Yi didn't shut him out, Jiaye's eyes curved like crescent moons as he walked in with the thermal container, first quickly scanning the room. Only after seeing there were no women's items, did he feel an even greater internal thrill.
Even if Yi had someone he liked,
with no women's items in the house, it clearly meant he either broke up or divorced.
The only question was whether he had children or not.
