The enormous monster savored the thrill of the hunt as it slowly came to a halt, standing quietly on the bed’s edge, waving its numerous tentacles concealed in the darkness, and gradually… lowering its head. Its green eyes locked onto the fearless player, who stared back without a hint of fear.
The salty, thick scent of the sea filled the room as it waved its tentacles.
Jiang blinked his eyes, kinda confused as to why such a big thing wasn’t sleeping at night.
Yes, the bad brother told him to go to bed at night. But Jiang Shishi didn’t really like it. He’d been sleeping in the dark for too long, and it was super boring.
So, instead of obeying, he secretly opened his eyes. And then he saw this huge thing in front of him.
One person and one monster….
No more accurately, one corpse and one monster continued to stare intensely at each other.
It was like this: you looked at me, and I looked at you, giving off a feeling of the wooden man game.
Unfortunately, this game was much more dangerous than playing with wooden figures.
The monster made the first move! It gradually lowered its head, pushing its large fish-like face toward the player’s face, stopping just above the pale little face, within arm’s reach.
Suddenly, it opened its enormous mouth, revealing its fangs filled with bits of flesh and blood.
Jiang Shishi, with a pale face, looked at the strange thing making small movements in front of him and suddenly understood!
He also opened his mouth. Suddenly, he exposed the sharp teeth on both sides of his mouth and fiercely bared his teeth at the big thing directly above his head.
Isn’t that big thing showing off its teeth?
Isn’t it just teeth?
So what, he has them too, and they’re even sharper and more pointed than the being thing!!
The big fish-headed monster’s expression froze momentarily as if it couldn’t quite comprehend what was happening. It kept opening and closing its mouth in a dumbfounded manner, almost as if it were trying to process the situation. Its green eyes appeared clouded with confusion, reflecting its struggle to understand the sudden turn of events.
Jiang Shishi thought the strange thing in front of him looked funny, so he extended his claws and gently poked the opponent with a nail, being careful not to use too much force.
After all, except for the bad brother, things outside were easy to damage, so he had to be gentle and careful.
However, to his surprise, when he poked it, his entire finger sank in as if there was nothing there at all.
It was an incredibly strange sensation.
Jiang Shishi withdrew his paw, planning to poke it a couple more times for amusement. But as soon as he lifted it up, his paw was grabbed by a familiar big hand.
Without even opening his eyes, You Wusi immediately took Jiang Shishi’s troubled little hands back into the blanket. Then, he gently pulled the blanket up to cover his little wife’s exposed white teeth.

As the old saying goes, with the sea so close and the wind so strong, it’s normal to have a hint of the sea scent.
Jiang Shishi struggled twice but failed to break free. A strange feeling lingered in his mind.
Unknowingly, his eyelids grew heavy.
Soon, he fell into the familiar darkness.
……
It was still dark, with the wind and rain persisting outside.
You Wusi opened his eyes right on time. The next second, the piercing alarm sound set on four or five electronic devices the night before suddenly filled the room.
The loud unpleasant and off-key music quickly woke up Jiang Shishi. He opened his eyes with annoyance and reached out his claws, trying to destroy the thing making the noise.
Then…
His hand was caught by the bad brother again.
“What kind of skirt do you want to wear today? How about the sky blue?” You Wusi asked, ignoring the smell of seawater in the room and the wet ground. With one hand, he swiftly closed the door, then turned off the alarm clocks and opened Jiang Shishi’s one-click dress-up program.
The previous system went all out for the little zombie, loading it up with a super comprehensive program as if it thought the low IQ subject couldn’t handle it alone.
It even provided matching sets and a wide range of clothing options in both men’s and women’s sizes, complete with loads of accessories.
Opening it up was effortless. The little zombie simply had to think about changing clothes, and it happened instantly, suiting the scene perfectly.
You Wusi loaded a small function into the program, connecting it to himself, and concealed it with a layer of data, effortlessly disguising it as an advanced skill shared by the couple. He then selected a sky blue skirt suit named Bai Yueguang for Jiang Shishi.
The outfit not only includes the clothes but also the prepared hairstyle.
The little zombie had makeup on its cheeks, a bit of red on its lips, a pearl necklace around its neck, and pretty pearls hanging from its ears, making it look innocent and cute.
His little wife is really cute!!!
The most important thing, of course, was having beautiful nails.
You Wusi spent a long time searching for the perfect design. Eventually, he ended up choosing light pink nails with golden flakes for Jiang Shishi.
However, looking at the plain design he was not satisfied, so he added two small white butterflies from a nearby style above.
After finishing, he lifted Jiang Shishi into the wheelchair. Slowly pushing her into the bathroom, he grabbed the toothpaste, toothbrush, and couple’s cup from the dressing program’s accessories.
“It’s time to brush your teeth,” You Wusi said softly, a gentle smile on his face. He took out the electronic toothbrush he had prepared and found a video online. The video showed the consequences of not brushing teeth on time: teeth getting worms, breaking, and rotting. It was a realistic video, sourced from a dental hospital, making the message clear and vivid.
He played the video repeatedly in front of Jiang Shishi. Whenever he tried to turn his head away, he gently pinched his chin and guided his gaze back to the screen.
It turns out, this trick was very useful for the little zombie who was new to the world.
Jiang Shishi obediently opened his mouth, staring at the toothbrush with a hint of apprehension. He bared his teeth when instructed and spat out foam when told to spit bubbles.
He had never been so smart and obedient before. Brushing his teeth went smoothly, although the light lipstick on Jiang Shishi’s lips was washed away with foam and water afterward.
At first glance, Jiang Shishi’s lips appeared unnaturally pale, giving off a sense of distress and fragility.
You Wusi couldn’t fully understand why, but instinctively, he felt that Jiang Shishi looked more fitting this way. His sickly and fragile appearance seemed to match the role of the Little Wife in the game perfectly.
After taking care of his little wife, he also brushed his teeth. He found an elegant suit in the little zombie’s ‘wardrobe’, next to Bai Yueguang. He wore the jacket and pants and added gold-rimmed glasses. Even though he didn’t fully understand why the glasses were there, he couldn’t deny that the person in the mirror looked very elegant.
Just as he finished, there was a sudden rapid knock on the door.
You Wusi was used to frequent knocks on the door. As he pushed Jiang Shishi out of the bathroom, he grabbed his wife’s teaching tools and the small paper cup that had sprouted successfully.
As the door swung open, the anxious players standing outside the room were taken aback. What they initially wanted to say almost turned into “Where did the clothes come from?”
Wen Qingxue, who had been quietly following the new players from afar, abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Meanwhile, Lin Haoguang muttered a curse softly while clutching a cigarette.
Chen Rong, who was hiding in the dark staircase, watched coldly, with a trace of jealousy and resentment flashing in his eyes.
For those who didn’t know any better, they might have actually thought this young couple was here for their honeymoon! Not only had their clothes been changed, but even their hair looked so delicately styled as if it had been meticulously groomed. Isn’t this a bit excessive?
“Good morning,” You Wusi greeted the players with a smile. Just as he was about to say something else, a piece of paper slowly appeared in front of his eyes and flew toward his palm with precision.
He wanted to dodge, but the paper insisted on chasing him.
With the light paper floating in front of his little wife like an airplane, he turned around twice before finally picking up the piece of paper. He also picked up the note stuck to Jiang Shishi’s beautiful nails and read aloud, “Among you, there is a monster, and monsters are not human. The note on Shishi’s paper says, ‘Do not trust anyone’. Oh, so you guys…”
You Wusi’s gaze swept over everyone before he continued, “Did something happen? Why do you look worried?”
“Lin Qiyue is missing! We looked everywhere—rooms, halls, studies, and living rooms. You’re the last place. Have you seen her?” Yi Jiangnan asked urgently.
But the answer was still no.
He couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly, his mind racing with thoughts. “The monster that appeared in the room last night!” he whispered to himself, his voice trembling with fear and frustration. “We were all half asleep and couldn’t move… Did it take her away?” His words trailed off as he pondered the unsettling possibility, his heart heavy with worry for Lin Qiyue’s safety.
“I’m telling you, she’ll show up at noon. There’s no need to search for the whole house,” Lin Haoguang repeated his earlier statement. After realizing that this new player was actually a Taoist priest with genuine abilities, he understood the player’s importance in this ghost dungeon.
He doesn’t care about what other players do. All he cares about is that If this player makes it through to the end, they’ll definitely play a significant role in dealing with the countless ghosts and monsters.
Yi Jiangnan still frowned, though he seemed a bit calmer now. He shook his head and said, “How can you be sure that she will come back in the noon?”
As soon as he said this, Lin Haoguang fell silent. He seemed to want to say more, but ultimately remained quiet.
No one can say exactly what can happen during the missing period.
So, how can a girlfriend, just as a girlfriend, open the study door at noon, filled with monsters, and return safely?
Probably the player who owns this identity card doesn’t know either.
“Why don’t we look for her again? She can’t leave this villa. It’s raining heavily outside, and the thunder is also very strong,” You Wusi suggested as he opened the room assigned to his identity card for the first time.
There weren’t many things in the room, and there was no balcony, so it was obviously impossible for anyone to hide.
He continued: “There are other rooms in the villa, let’s look for her there.”
“Only those with the matching ID card can open the door. No matter how forcefully you try to break down the other doors, it won’t work,” Wen Qingxue explained.
She walked to another room and, in front of it, used her hair manipulation skills to suddenly attack the wooden door. The black hair faded away like a tide, but the door remained unchanged.
Upon hearing this, You Wusi bent down slightly and began to fiddle with the delicate wheelchair Jiang Shishi was sitting on. In no time, he pulled out a slender wire.
He smiled and walked to the door.
He said, “Sometimes, violence that’s beyond scientific explanation can’t solve all problems. We still need to use ordinary methods. Shi Shi always mistakenly locked herself in rooms before, so I learned this skill. Life is long, so it’s good to learn more. You never know when things might come in handy.” As he spoke, he folded the slender wire in half and inserted it into the keyhole.
He sometimes pulled it out and sometimes rotated it.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a click sound echoed.
The door opened.
You Wusi pulled out the iron wire, wrapped it around his wrist a few times, and smiled as he continued, “Shishi’s condition is very complicated, and I’ve learned many techniques that may be beyond your imagination.”
Author wants to say something:
You Wusi: Like overtaking in corners, flying with a sword, and controlling a starship to jump in space…
Jiang Shishi: (You need to brush your teeth every day!)
True! You need to brush your teeth every day
Thank you for your translation 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
I’m ashamed, the zombie has better oral hygiene than me
Maybe you also need to watch videos about teeth illnesses?
Sadly, my ADHD likes to ignore even the scary health videos 😭
I also have trouble brushing my teeth everyday! What helps me is buying toothpaste that taste good, so my brain won’t see it as a chore but ad a good tasty thing, maybe this will help you? Good luck!!
I think I also have ADHD (at least I have a big problems with concentration and focus). And same model of routine with the same steps helps me a lot! And I also watch videos on YouTube while I brush my teeth, maybe you can try it to. Perhaps, you can try to create a link for example “videos about pandas –> video for brushing teeth –> brushing teeth”
Thank you for the chapter 😍 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
