Xia Yi quickly reacted. These lines of dialogue must have been game presets. Her game character should be able to continue talking with the bride, so she was not worried.
Her current objective was to get the bride to agree to leave with her. Then she could take the bride out of the room, look for key clues, and obtain the items needed to escape the town.
Sure enough, new dialogue appeared above her game character’s head. Seeing this, she finally relaxed. It seemed the game A Yu designed for her was indeed very well made.
“If you stay in Zombie Town, there is only one path waiting for you, death. You are a human. How can you live alongside zombies? Come with me. Only by following me can you survive.”
Tang Guo smiled brightly. “I am not leaving. I will not go. Who are you, and why are you here trying to deceive me into leaving my husband?”
Xia Yi was a little stunned. Were horror rescue game dialogues this intense now? She was already calling him husband. Had the Zombie King already brainwashed the bride? Was this meant to increase the game’s difficulty?
“No matter what, you have to come with me. If you stay here, you will lose your life.”
Clearly, Xia Yi’s game character was starting to sound anxious.
Tang Guo still spoke unhurriedly. “I will not leave my husband. Why are you trying to break us apart?”
“No, you must have been bewitched by the Zombie King. Today, I must take you away.”
Tang Guo was delighted. Xia Yi stared at the dialogue popping up above her character’s head, completely dumbfounded.
This felt wrong. Why did it feel like she was playing the role of an evil old witch, trying to tear apart a loving couple?
“Husband, come quickly. There is someone who suddenly appeared and keeps trying to secretly take me away. She wants to cruelly separate us.”
As soon as Tang Guo shouted, Xia Yi’s game character froze. Xia Yi herself was also stunned when she saw those words on the screen. Was this really okay?
Almost the instant Tang Guo’s voice fell, the Zombie King flew in from outside. He slapped Xia Yi’s game character against the wall and shielded Tang Guo behind him.
He ordered the zombie underlings who followed in, “Tie her up.”
“Yes, my king.”
Tang Guo was secretly laughing so hard. This was what happened when you tried to play a game and ended up being played by it instead.
System: poor Xia Yi.
Only then did the Zombie King turn back to Tang Guo, as if confirming whether she truly did not want to leave. Finally, he asked, “Why did you not go with her?”
“Husband, do you not want me anymore?”
Tang Guo looked at the Zombie King with watery eyes. That pitiful expression made him feel as though he had committed some grave mistake that made her want to cry.
“That is not what I meant.”
The Zombie King suddenly realized that even though this bride was just a game character, he did not want to hurt her. He did not want to see her look wronged, much less shed tears.
“Then why did you ask whether I wanted to leave with her? Did you not say before that you wanted me to be your bride?”
The Zombie King hurried forward to comfort her. “Alright, I asked the wrong thing. That was my fault. I did not mean to drive you away. You can stay here as long as you want, as long as you are willing.”
Even if she wanted to leave, he could let her go.
This fake Zombie King had no idea that his principles were slowly slipping away.
System: truly hard to describe.
“Husband, she wants to break us apart. Does she secretly like you and that is why she wants to separate us?”
The Zombie King felt both amused and helpless. Could game characters really get jealous?
Why did he feel a faint, guilty sense of pleasure in his heart?
