How could he... have become like this?
Qi Min looked at his reflection in the half-unbroken vessel and wondered aloud.
His bluish-gray skin was stained with specks of blood, but they couldn't hide the bulging black veins.
The slightly dim lighting in the room couldn't hide the chill emanating from his eerie skin.
Looking at himself, Qi Min felt like a temporary extra in a zombie movie, just missing a ferocious expression to start the role.
He was filled with confusion and helplessness until he staggered out of the room and encountered the young boy who had left with the ghost baby again. Only then did he gradually understand everything that had happened.
When Qi Min encountered the young boy, he was just beginning to get used to the occasional appearance of monsters and simply ignored them.
When he discovered that there was a battle ahead, he figured he wouldn't be attacked anyway, so he didn't bother to dodge and went straight over to take a look.
But what he saw made him pause in surprise. It was the player named Lin Yuan and the woman named Yan Lan.
At this moment, they were back to back dealing with the ghostly infants surrounding them.
Qi Min hid nearby, carefully watching their battle, hesitating whether to go out.
The reason for his hesitation was that, considering his current situation, if he could clear the game with them as soon as possible, there would be a very high chance that he could be restored to his original state.
On the other hand, he didn't want to harm these little ghost babies, not just because a little ghost baby had saved him before.
More importantly, it might be because of the information, his vague guesses, or perhaps, a little bit of reluctance.
Just as he was hesitating, Qi Min felt his trouser leg being tugged. Looking down, he saw that it was the little ghost baby who used to like eating his sweet cakes.
How did it get here?!
Qi Min's doubts were not without reason, stemming from his first encounter with these ghost infants and his subsequent transformation after leaving the room.
Then there were several more battles between players and ghost babies or monsters.
Those ghost babies that exhibit aggressive behavior towards players are generally a bit older, around one or four or five years old.
The one at his feet, who loves sweet cakes but is only four or five months old, is unlikely to be mixed in with them.
"why you?"
Qi Min squatted down and reached out his hand to it. Seeing that it was alright, he picked it up directly.
"Um...yes..."
The little ghost baby made muffled sounds, but Qi Min felt as if it was responding to him, and a smile involuntarily crept into his eyes.
I casually redeemed a regular candy with my points; it was a lollipop with a little stick on it.
"We're out of sugar cakes, try this instead, it's also delicious, but don't bite into it directly, eat it slowly."
Qi Min peeled off the wrapping paper and held it to its mouth while talking.
Although it's unknown whether the little ghost baby can understand or will do as instructed.
But Qi Min still tentatively said something.
After all, judging by the little ghost baby's teeth, the candy would probably crumble into dust the moment it entered its mouth.
Even if he only has enough points to exchange for a lot of these ordinary candies, we can't let him eat them like this.
The little ghost baby, who was about to take a big bite, stopped when it heard Qi Min's words. After looking at Qi Min, it cooperated and put the candy in its mouth.
Seeing how obedient it was, Qi Min raised an eyebrow in surprise, and the emotions he had been suppressing eased slightly.
In fact, he had wondered in his heart whether his current state was due to the presence of this little ghost baby.
After all, it had saved him when he was in the corridor.
Judging from his injuries at the time, if he hadn't been rescued, he would most likely have died from excessive blood loss and severe injuries.
But when he woke up in the room, apart from the little ghost baby, there was no other injury on his body.
He had no idea how he was saved, or what the little ghost baby used to save him.
Therefore, Qi Min had some guesses, wondering if the little ghost baby had used something to save him, which was why he had become like this.
The reason I didn't think of it was because of the monsters in that room was simply because those monsters were just wild beasts that would go berserk if they smelled the player's flesh and blood.
How could a species devoid of any consciousness not kill him for no reason, but instead turn him into this state? This doesn't make sense.
Therefore, among the only possibilities that Qi Min guessed, only this little ghost baby remained...
Qi Min looked at the little ghost baby with a slightly complicated expression, who showed a happy and comfortable face as soon as the candy entered his mouth.
Judging from its expression, it seems to really like this flavor.
Seeing its affectionate and unguarded demeanor, Qi Min was somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Ask away, this little ghost baby is only this small.
How can an infant who can't even speak clearly explain to itself its current situation?
Qi Min hugged it with a slight sigh, thinking to himself that it had saved his life before, no matter how it was done, the debt of saving his life was real.
He couldn't possibly be so ungrateful as to turn around and harm such a small baby, could he?
She was still a little baby who had never hurt herself and only liked to eat small candies.
The morality in his heart and Qi Min's own character were constantly being reinforced in his mind.
The two players not far away were women named Lin Yuan and Yan Lan.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to escape from the clutches of the ghost infants led by the young boy.
They ran in such a hurry that the ghost infants, led by the young boy, failed to catch up.
From Qi Min's perspective, all he could see were them standing there with ferocious expressions, showing no sign of moving.
Just as they were looking at the strange sight, the little ghost baby in Qi Min's arms suddenly slid off his arms with a candy in its mouth and crawled straight toward the ghost babies who had stopped in front of him.
Qi Min instinctively reached out but missed. After hesitating for two seconds, he still didn't choose to follow.
He was, after all, just a player who entered the instance only to survive. Even though the struggle was difficult, he felt a great deal of pity for these babies.
But he and 'it' are ultimately from different worlds, and too much involvement will only make him more and more hesitant.
His most important task now is to find those two people, and at the very least, to find out what exactly happened in that room.
Secondly, he needs to find a way to pass the level as soon as possible. He can't stay in his current state and wait forever. Who knows if he will change into something else as time goes by?
