"Am I not beautiful?" The young girl asked the crowd that had not dispersed, staring at the door that Zheng Chen had closed. She received a unanimous denial, "Beautiful, of course beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people enchanted."
"Then why did he do this?" The young girl asked again, the smile on her face completely gone, replaced by a pitiful sorrow. The villagers, for some unknown reason, felt their anger rising.
To let this beautiful girl feel sad, it was simply unacceptable... What right did that guy have to make her bear the envy, jealousy, and hatred?!
"Damn... Something's wrong!" The abnormal behavior of the villagers made some players, who were also captivated by the girl, snap back to reality. They noticed that their mental attributes had declined!
This was a typical situation that occurred when one was affected by some kind of abnormal state!
The murderous look on the villagers' faces made them even more puzzled, and they quickly woke up their companions. After realizing their own abnormalities, they immediately regained their senses, followed by a chill.
By comparison, the mental attributes of the players who reacted quickly only dropped by one point. After they realized what was happening, their mental attributes quickly recovered. However, those who reacted later had their mental attributes drop by more than two points.
If they hadn't reacted in time, their mental attributes would have continued to decline until they reached a critical point, triggering the game system's protection mechanism and kicking them out of the game.
This highly charming and abnormal woman... She's too strange!
The players' recovery was noticed by the young girl, who couldn't help but slightly curl her lips. These people, whose origins were unknown but seemed to come from the same place, had an unusually strong mental resistance, especially against her abilities.
Their mental strength was not much different from that of the villagers, but the difference was significant. The villagers would only become more and more captivated by her if not stopped, eventually... going mad. However, these outsiders quickly regained their senses and returned to normal.
What a... troublesome existence, and in such large numbers, like locusts. You could encounter them wherever you went.
But these villagers were one thing. What about Zheng Chen?
He was just an ordinary person, not one of these outsiders, so why could he ignore her?!
Because of that woman with flowers growing on her body, who wasn't even human?!
Where do I fall short compared to her?!
"We will make him apologize to you, it's just a flower... No, everything on that woman's body is yours!"
Several young men rolled up their sleeves and walked out of the crowd, speaking to the girl with a fawning expression, then marched toward the door of Zheng Chen's residence, ready to kick it down.
Just before they kicked, the door was opened by someone. The young man who was about to kick met Zheng Chen's cold gaze and froze.
"Get lost!"
"You... You're cursing me?" The young man, feeling guilty, couldn't help but look back at the enchanting girl. She smiled, a beautiful smile, as if what he did made her happy... Her smile turned into a sneer, a sneer at his cowardice.
I can't let her look down on me!!
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the young man's neck suddenly tightened as Zheng Chen grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, then threw him into the crowd. The surrounding players immediately moved out of the way, while the villagers, still captivated by the enchanting girl, stared at her blankly, even when the young man crashed into them.
A hostile gaze fell on the enchanting girl.
The enchanting girl's shoulders trembled slightly, and she took a half-step back, pointing at Zheng Chen with a fearful expression, "He, he scared me!"
Her pitiful expression made the players, who were on guard, feel a tremor in their hearts, unable to resist feeling sympathetic.
"Don't be soft!! What! Are you interested in a fox spirit in the game?!"
A loud slap echoed, making the surrounding players feel as if they had been slapped themselves. A female player was pulling on the collar of a male player, slapping him hard across the face.
The male player, who had been slapped, didn't have time to be angry. The situation was too strange. Despite being on guard, they were still affected. The sudden sympathy had already been slapped away by his girlfriend.
"No... No, just curious, that's all, just curious." The guilty player, looking at his girlfriend who was acting fiercely, explained timidly. When he saw his girlfriend about to go talk to the enchanting girl, he quickly pulled her back.
"Huh!?" The female player's eyebrows shot up, "You'll be kneeling on the keyboard tonight!!"
"No! It's not like that, don't be impulsive." The player held his girlfriend tightly, lowering his voice, "Look at these villagers, they all look possessed. What if they go crazy if we touch that girl?"
With this, the female player also noticed. The villagers weren't just possessed; they were almost going mad.
"... This woman is really a fox spirit." The female player cursed softly, pulling her boyfriend away to avoid being caught up if the villagers went crazy.
"Unforgivable!!"
From the villagers' reactions, it seemed as if Zheng Chen had really done something hateful to the enchanting girl. Facing the villagers who glared at him, Zheng Chen snorted, his expression becoming even more hostile. The root of all this was this mysterious enchanting woman.
Then, kill her...
"...?" Zheng Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and slammed the door shut. The sound of something inside indicated that he had locked the door from the inside.
The enchanting girl, who had been expecting something, was momentarily stunned. How could he resist her ability like this?
Interesting, this trip wasn't in vain. It seems I can play for a long time...
"Coward! You're avoiding!!" The enchanting girl showed no reaction, but the villagers who were captivated by her reacted strongly. Zheng Chen's action directly provoked them, and they couldn't hold back, starting to smash the door.
Hearing the commotion outside, Lei was very anxious, "What's wrong with everyone? Why are they like this?"
She didn't go out much, but she knew that the villagers here were generally good. Why were they acting so violently today?
"It seems to be that woman. Killing her might solve the problem." Xi Ya tilted her head slightly, gently touching a small flower growing on the vines attached to her body.
"No need." Zheng Chen frowned slightly, still pondering the sudden surge of killing intent... Yes, it was a sudden, purposeless killing intent. The purposeful killing intent was his own, but the sudden killing intent appeared before the purpose.
After the killing intent appeared, the purpose gradually became clear.
The abnormal reaction made him immediately suppress the killing intent, "Let them make a fuss, we'll leave directly."
The sturdy door was forcibly broken down by the possessed villagers. The hands of the villagers at the front were cracked and broken, the white bones visible through the torn skin, showing how crazy they were to break the door.
"... You go to the aircraft first." Zheng Chen, staring at the villagers who were breathing heavily and glaring at him like they were facing their father's killer, quickly picked up the teapot and poured two cups of water, adding two drops of a liquid. He told Lei and Xi Ya, "Drink it, I'll take care of this."
The vines on Xi Ya's body, which had been stirring, calmed down again.
"Then come quickly." Lei said, worried.
Zheng Chen nodded slightly, raised his hand, and a fine pattern spread to his fingers. Drops of liquid fell from his fingertips, evaporating as soon as they touched the air.
The villagers, who had rushed in, stiffened, and the ones at the front fell to the ground. The ones behind them followed, unable to stand up, but they still struggled to crawl toward Zheng Chen.
However, as the liquid evaporated, the possessed villagers completely lost their ability to move.
"Bad! It's poisonous!!"
The players outside felt their limbs weaken and realized something was wrong. Checking their attributes, they found their agility and strength rapidly declining. Those with better constitutions could still hold on for a moment, but those with weaker constitutions had already lost their ability to move.
"Damn, why isn't the detox pill working?!" A player on the ground couldn't help but exclaim, but was immediately given a dirty look by a fellow player.
"Are you stupid? If it wasn't poison, it wouldn't work. Clearly, you don't visit the forum often." The detox pill had been tested and was effective against toxins, but not against drugs.
All the living things nearby had lost their ability to move, except for the enchanting girl.
"What do you want to do..."
Zheng Chen glanced at the pretentious enchanting girl, drank the water mixed with the neutralizing agent, and walked to the back yard.
His mind was completely calm. The behavior of the enchanting girl was very strange. Zheng Chen thought for a moment and walked over to her, "Make them normal."
The enchanting girl's watery eyes flickered, and she smiled seductively, "Why should I do that? If you disagree, are you going to hit me? Or kill me?"
Her words made the villagers on the ground glare at Zheng Chen, but they couldn't even speak.
"..."
"Of course, it's not impossible." (To be continued.)
