The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 120 Please Don't Be Stingy with Your Words

Xiaoqi seemed lost in memories, and after a long while, she organized her thoughts:

"Mr. Strange, I know you might find this hard to believe, but another voice inside you seems to want me to kill you?"

The wind in the city streets and alleys blew up the girl's slightly yellow hair, revealing her full forehead, and you could vaguely see a bead of sweat on it.

She was nervous when she said that.

His expression didn't change much, but the little monster still caught a glimpse of that subtle panic.

The two of them wandered aimlessly along the street corner, without any destination in mind, simply to relax.

In reality, each person had their own thoughts and considerations.

"What kind of voice was that? A man's or a woman's?" Little Monster was surprisingly calm.

He didn't panic just because someone wanted to kill him.

The light, airy inquiry carried the warmth of early spring, as if it were just a casual question: "What do you want to eat today?"

Xiaoqi raised one hand to tuck her messy, stray hairs behind her ear.

"It's a man's voice, it sounds young and urgent."

"So you mean that while I was asleep, another young man residing inside my body was communicating with you and wanted you to kill me..."

Xiao Guai summarized and described this series of strange phenomena, but Li Can didn't take it to heart.

"No, sir, I am innocent." He swore that he definitely didn't mean it that way.

Is this the truth behind the legendary phenomenon where a message, after being spread by several people, gradually gets distorted and eventually becomes a rumor?

I never imagined that one day I would have to refute rumors myself.

Damn it, he just wanted to try and use Xiaoqi's hand to wake up Yang Mo and the others.

However, at this moment, none of them could hear his kind call.

"Yes, sir, have you recently contracted something unclean? Would you like me to introduce you to a wizard to try?"

After wandering around for a while, Xiaoqi finally pulled out a card printed with cheap black ink from the pocket inside her skirt.

He mysteriously handed it to the little monster beside him.

He spoke cautiously in a deliberately low voice, his eyes glancing around furtively from time to time.

"This is my brother's business card. He's been researching this kind of thing lately. If you're interested, you can go find him and give it a try. Who knows, maybe he'll succeed in exorcising the demon?"

"However, we can't tell each other about this kind of thing; the higher-ups are very strict about it."

"If it works out, just mention my name to him, and you'll definitely get a discount."

Although Li Can was trapped inside his body, it didn't stop his eyelids from twitching.

So all that mystical chatter was just a scheme to squeeze more money out of him? Is this some kind of exorcism world...?

The little monster took the card, glanced at it quickly, then looked away and put the item away.

Following his first-person perspective, Li Can saw the name printed on the ink and his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

The white, rectangular business card prominently displayed three extremely familiar characters in the center:

"Xing Dazhuang?"

Xiao Guai repeated, "Thank you, Xiao Qi. I'll be careful. I'll visit you if needed. I'll leave you here for now."

"Oh, okay, Mr. Strange, you must take care of yourself. After all, there's no place around here where you can get plastic surgery at a more affordable price."

"Of course, I will."

Even after the two waved goodbye at the street corner, Li Can was still deeply moved by those three words and couldn't shake them off.

So, in fact, thousands of years ago, the little monster had already come into contact with Xing Dazhuang and the other original owners.

Indeed, as the perfect person with the longest preserved memories, it's not surprising that he knows everyone; it's quite normal.

What Li Can didn't expect was that this girl named Xiaoqi was actually Xing Dazhuang's sister.

So, when he casually made up a story about having a bunch of nephews in front of everyone in the lower city, it turned out to be a lucky accident?

Strangely enough, Xing Dazhuang's sister is named Xing Xiaoqi, and his later wife is named Huang Xiaoqi... Perhaps it was because of their extremely similar names that this couple met and eventually got together.

The course of fate can sometimes be truly subtle.

What sent chills down his spine even further was that Li Can was now unsure whether the arrival of himself and the others had altered the past storyline within the [Mirror of Past Lives], or whether the past story had simply unfolded in this way.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Will their arrival change the future?

The future, already seemingly settled, only came to an end because of their existence at this moment…

Li Can's head started to ache from thinking too much.

Whether the little monsters now recognize the original owner "Xing Dazhuang" or investigate the existence of the four people inside his body is beyond his control, given his current restraints.

After saying goodbye to Xing Xiaoqi, Xiao Guai finally relaxed his right hand, which had been hidden in his pocket, where a sharp fruit knife was concealed.

The tip of the knife was wrapped with rags again and again.

This is something he secretly hid on his person when he went out.

It could be said that Xiao Guai brought Xiao Qi out to discuss the issue because he was prepared to find a quiet, secluded place to resolve it with her.

However, after being questioned, he temporarily abandoned his murderous thoughts and instead walked quickly back to his studio, which was also his home.

"Squeak." Pushing open the wooden door, the little monster hurriedly locked the windows and the main door.

He searched through the pile of odds and ends with a serious expression for a long time before a hint of joy flashed across his face.

"Found it." He held up the old-fashioned camera in his hand to examine it. The machine hadn't been used for a long time and was covered in dust.

He carefully wiped it with a damp cloth and replaced the battery.

Use stacked books and toolboxes as a stand to support it, and point the camera at yourself.

"I don't know who you are or where you're from, but if you have no ill intentions or want to make a deal with me, please cooperate with me by recording the following video."

"I'm only giving each other one chance. Please don't hold back your words about what you want to do and what you want to say."

"If we can reach a deal without the help of outsiders, that would be the best outcome."

"If I can't do it, then I don't mind taking you with me to die."

"After all, I don't have anything left to lose."

"Also, just in case, if the machine can't record your voice and you can only convey it through someone else, I'll kidnap Xiaoqi and bring her back."

"Don't worry about that, I will try my best to do things perfectly."

"Well then, I'll start."

The little monster was talking to himself in front of the camera, sitting upright in the chair.

He raised the hammer with one hand and smashed it down hard on the back of his head.

Without the slightest hesitation.
