Yu Wu Si hadn’t expected Jiang Shishi to move so quickly. He quickly pinched his delicate chin, opened his mouth which was stuffed with cotton, and swiftly pulled out the wads of cotton.
Checking repeatedly, Yu Wu Si ensured that his little wife had not swallowed any of the cotton.
“Even though some things seem like little tomatoes, you can’t eat all of them,” he explained.
Jiang Shishi suddenly understood that he had been tricked. Fuming with anger, he vigorously shook his head back and forth and tried to escape, but the man’s large hand held him firmly in place.
He turned his head away, refusing to look at the man, and stayed still without making any extra movements.
The cherry tomato was….. not real.
His once clear eyes lost their sparkle, now clouded with layers of gray mist, staring blankly ahead.
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have given you the fake apple right away. Please don’t be upset, alright?” You Wusi apologized and gently reached out to pat Jiang Shishi’s head.
This time, the other person completely ignored him.
Not only did he not bare his teeth in a threatening manner, he didn’t even flinch or try to avoid him like before. He remained as still as a delicate doll, showing no reaction at all.
Seeing this, You Wusi had no other choice but to glance around the room full of fairy tales again, hoping to find something new to cheer up his little wife.
But he just couldn’t think of anything to make his little wife feel better.
He didn’t have any more tomatoes; he had only planted a limited amount, and they were all eaten by the little zombies.
Soon he noticed a row of toy mermaid trinkets.
It seems pretty sturdy and can withstand being poked several times. Plus, it’s neither round nor red, so his little wife probably won’t mistake it for a tomato and try to eat it again.
You Wusi approached and grabbed the little mermaid with golden hair. After tinkering with it for a bit, he discovered that it was a toy that could make bubbles, by gently squeezing the mermaid’s soft belly, colorful bubbles would emerge from its round little mouth, making it look like it was singing.
He went back to his little puppet wife, who remained frozen in his previous position.
He held the little mermaid in front of Jiang Shishi and gave it a gentle squeeze. Bubbles of various sizes came out of the mermaid’s mouth, which looked like it was puffing up its cheeks.
The bubbles were clear and transparent, with various colors flowing on the surface, floating delicately around.
Not long after, some small crystal-clear bubbles couldn’t hold on, causing the bubble to burst and disappear.
But soon, new bubbles appeared.
A bubble accidentally landed on the tip of Jiang Shishi’s nose, gently bumped into it, and then burst immediately after.
The eyes of the little zombie widened abruptly, as if someone had turned up the brightness on them. They grew noticeably larger, reflecting surprise.
You Wusi, who had been observing Jiang Shishi, paused making the colorful bubbles and gave the little mermaid toy to Jiang Shishi.
He said, “Don’t play with your nails; it’s delicate.”

Jiang Shishi finally lifted his head and gazed at the man. Their eyes locked in a long moment of connection before Jiang Shishi tentatively reached out his hand.

Colorful bubbles keep appearing in the mouth of the little mermaid toy.
They come out, then stop, and then start again, repeating the cycle.
When You Wusi released his hand, the little zombie swiftly took the mermaid into his arms and began playing with the toy.
“Shi Shi is so smart,” You Wusi said, looking at the little zombie thoughtfully. He didn’t know what he was thinking about, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “I knew Shi Shi could understand,” he added.
After that, he casually grabbed another red-haired Little Mermaid bubble machine, pushed up the wheelchair, and took Jiang Shishi to the big balcony.
Outside, there was a fierce storm with occasional silent thunder and lightning on the horizon, striking the sea.
Luckily, the balcony was large enough to keep out the wind and rain for now.
The endless sea appeared a dark, deep blue under the heavy clouds. As they walked to the balcony, he noticed that there was indeed a cliff in the distance, but because they were on the third floor, they couldn’t see the ground beyond the cliff.
You Wusi picked a spot where they could watch the sea without getting hit by the wind, and played with his little wife using the Little Mermaid Bubble Machine.
The colorful bubbles drifted towards the sea in the wind.
Unfortunately, this not-so-long journey was already too far for the little bubbles. With the strong wind and heavy rain, they were never going to make it to the sea.
Just like the little mermaid who will never go back to the ocean.
They lost track of time, but You Wusi and Jiang Shishi felt like they didn’t have much time to play with the two little mermaids before there was a sudden knock on the door.
The big teddy bear lost its black pearl.
Soon, You Wusi carried Jiang Shishi to the first floor. Even this time, Wen Qingxue carried the wheelchair.
After expressing his gratitude to Wen Qingxue, You Wusi carefully settled Jiang Shishi, who was calmly clutching the two little mermaids, into the wheelchair. It was clear that Jiang Shishi, who now owned the toys, behaved well in every way.
“Is everyone present?” asked the big teddy bear sitting on the sofa in a somber tone. Its reddish glass eyes looked at each person’s face one by one. After a while, it said, “Just now, the Black Pearl has been stolen.”
After the words were spoken, a deathly silence enveloped the room. No one dared to break the silence by speaking first.
The big teddy bear looked grave, its red eyes scanning each player.
Its words were stern as it continued, “My partner and I purchased the black pearl at an auction ten years ago. She had been gone for ten years now. This pearl is not only valuable to me, but it also holds the memories of my dearly departed wife. I don’t care who took the pearl; as long as it’s returned tonight, I won’t seek retribution.”
The plot that was shown in the waiting space finally reappeared in front of the players.
What was important was that they themselves became participants. This was also the time for them to try their best to survive.
The door to the villa opened, and Zhou Qingxing, wearing a police uniform and partially soaked from the rain, entered with wind and rain swirling around him.
“Officer, you arrived just in time,” said the big teddy bear, standing up quickly and approaching Zhou Qingxing. Its glass eyes turned increasingly red as it spoke, “There’s been a theft at home, and the thief is here. I hope you can identify them soon.”
As soon as it finished speaking, the entire villa was engulfed in darkness, with countless red letters pouring in from all directions.
The first night of the copy has begun.
“Who do you think is the thief?”
The big teddy bear’s eyes turned completely red, resembling bright red blood. It continued, “The night is still young, and I hope you can provide me with a satisfactory answer.”
After speaking, the big teddy bear turned its back, and darkness surrounded it until only a chilling figure remained.
“The first night has arrived,” Wen Qingxue said, sounding relieved yet also sighing. She glanced at the new players who were still wary of the plot NPC and continued, “Now is the time for ‘identification’. It won’t interfere with our choices. After the voting is over, the police will hand it over to the NPC.”
After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes and said directly, “I identify…the girlfriend.”
“I also identify the girlfriend,” Lin Haoguang said in agreement.
“No it’s no…..” Lin Qiyue started to say, her expression growing panicked. She attempted to explain something, but the overwhelming barrage of messages around her drowned out her words.
[This newcomer’s acting skills were pretty good. I couldn’t detect any sign of panic before. Unfortunately, she has to go…]
[It’s a shame that so many players had to lose their lives for the location of the Black Pearl to be known.]
[There’s no question that the girlfriend stole the black pearl.]
[Even if she has a lucky value of 100, she still has to die on the first day!]
[Shoot her, she’s the one who stole the black pearl!!! Kill her!!!!!]
[Her explanation is just a cover-up. What else could she say? All she can do is to wait for death.]
[There wasn’t much to see on the first day. I would either pick the girlfriend or the police officer, anyway.]
“I don’t know,” Lin Qiyue said quickly as she hurried over to Yi Jiangnan. She reached out to grab the hem of Yi Jiangnan’s clothes and explained loudly to everyone, “I don’t know why this is happening but I don’t have that pearl in my room, I don’t know why it appeared in my room but vanished in the air. I didn’t steal it. Please… please believe me…”
She hesitated, and her words grew weaker. In the end, feeling like she had said too much, she slowly lowered her head.
Jiang Zuo sighed softly in his heart. He glanced at the two new mentors and asked hopefully, “Can I choose not to vote?”
“What do you think?” Lin Haoguang sneered. “Nine days and nine nights, one person each day, leaving only one. Otherwise, why would there be ten of us?”
He glanced around at the new players, some of whom still seemed sympathetic, and went on, “Only on the first day do you think about being kind. But if you don’t know who the real thief is, what else can you do? After all, we have to pick someone every day.”
A large red font hovered beside Lin Haoguang, gently swaying to indicate its presence.
[Haha, it’s a common issue for newcomers.]
[What I enjoy the most is watching new players struggle with difficult decisions. Whether they choose to be good or evil, the expressions on their faces before they die are quite beautiful.]
[After pondering for so long, I still wouldn’t choose the girlfriend for starters.]
[In Endless, luck and money aren’t everything. This player is dead!]
“Alright,” Jiang Zuo sighed. He looked at the unlucky girl who was clutching onto his roommate’s clothes tightly and said, “Then I’ll choose… the steward.”
Since he had to select someone to die, he decided to choose the dangerous guy who tried to take hostages with a knife first.
“I’ll also choose the steward,” Yi Jiangnan said immediately, while also tugging at the corner of Lin Qiyue’s clothes, signaling her to speak quickly.
Lin Qiyue, having received the subtle cue from Yi Jiangnan, quickly echoed his choice, “I also identify the steward.”
She glanced around nervously, hoping her choice would overturn the group’s decision.
Chen Rong, who was holding the steward’s identity card, looked at the three people who identified him with cold eyes. Sensing things are turning against his favor he quickly said, “I choose the girlfriend.”
He felt an overwhelming sense of danger looming over him, like a storm about to strike. Even though the votes were evenly split for now, he was certain he would end up being the one chosen in the end! After all, he had threatened the couple in the wheelchair, and even dared to challenge the authority of the police…
Filled with despair, Chen Rong suddenly remembered his skills.
If it really is him in the end.
Even if he is doomed, he won’t mind taking a few of them down with him!
He glared fiercely at the man who accused him first, then at the other two guys who identified him, and finally at the wheelchair couple who hadn’t voted yet.
His fists were clenched tightly.
While waiting for the couple to speak, he seized the opportunity to activate his skills.
You Wusi noticed Chen Rong’s hostile glare, glanced up at him, and politely smiled.
You Wusi was about to speak, but Zhou Qingxing’s loud voice cut in first.
It turned out that while everyone was talking, Zhou Qingxing had already approached the big teddy bear.
“Mr. Wang, it’s too quick to decide who the thief is after just one day. You need to give the police some time to investigate properly,” Zhou Qingxing said as he pulled out his identity card from his pocket.
A line of white light emerged from the identity card, growing larger and larger.
It was clearly written on it.
[When you’re a genuine police officer with strong beliefs and good intentions, you’ll possess real investigative abilities.]
The author has something to say:
Jiang Shishi: (It’s too dark, I can’t see the bubbles, so I’m not happy.)
You Wusi: Let’s wrap this up quickly. I want to go back and play with the bubble machine with my little wife.
