The livestream switched from the scene of Yun Zhi and her husband eating dinner intimately together to upstairs.
In the picture, Mr. Zhang, who had always been honest and simple, had a somewhat smug look on his face and was casually watching TV, nowhere near the grief-stricken husband he had appeared to be during the day.
【 I was still watching the young couple in love, where did this send me? 】
【 Why is the screen pitch black? Hey, that seems to be Mr. Zhang 】
【 Could it be Mr. Zhang's home? I feel like something's about to happen 】
Just as the bullet comments were puzzled, the ghoul that had appeared in Yun Zhi's bathroom in the afternoon crawled out from a door, and Mr. Zhang suddenly showed a terrified expression.
"D...die..."
The final frame froze on the scene of the ghoul and Mr. Zhang "nestled" together.
【 Loved it, that dead man deserved it. I almost thought he would get away with it today 】
【 Hahaha, wasn't he looking everywhere for his missing wife? Well, the wife has come back now 】
【 Didn't expect the streamer to actually persuade that female ghoul 】
【 Thank you, streamer. My breasts are clear now 】
The livestream screen went back downstairs again, as if the brief moment just now was only an interlude.
Yun Zhi had no idea what had happened upstairs. After dinner, watching her "husband" do housework with Xie Huaijin's face, she was still a bit happy.
After all, when Xie Huaijin was alive, he always stared at her with those gloomy eyes, as if he was disgusted with her.
She was at least a beautiful and lively great beauty, okay?
Now he still has to obediently do housework for her.
Although it might be the ghoul wearing his face...
Thinking of this, Yun Zhi couldn't help feeling happy and blurted out, "Honey, I love you."
The husband's movements froze. He looked at Yun Zhi, as if he didn't understand why she suddenly said that.
But he still came closer and kissed her on the lips.
He didn't understand, but he would kiss first.
Yun Zhi: ?
【 The other players are fighting for their lives, and the streamer is here making out. Is this even a game? 】
【 Isn't the streamer taking it a bit too easy? 】
【 Huh? If you actually made you kiss a ghoul, you wouldn't be happy either. Why don't you look at the streamer's mental fortitude? 】
The streamer doesn't care. The streamer not only kisses ghouls, but also plans to sleep with her eerie husband.
Although it's still just sleeping, like before.
But before sleeping, Yun Zhi remembered the marriage certificate on the bedside cabinet and suddenly asked, "Honey, where is our wedding photo?"
As soon as the words fell, the aura around her husband instantly turned ice-cold.
He stared at Yun Zhi like that, his voice carrying an eerie, inorganic quality: "Why did you suddenly ask that, wife?"
Yun Zhi confirmed from her husband's reaction that she had hit a key point.
She immediately turned around and pouted: "I just felt our home was empty. We could put up some photos. Don't you want to take wedding pictures with me, honey?"
Yun Zhi stared at her husband with her beautiful eyes blinking and blinking, until the cold aura around him dissipated: "Of course I do."
"Then when will we go take them?" Yun Zhi looked expectant.
Her husband looked at her tenderly: "How about four days later."
"Can't it be tomorrow?" Yun Zhi seemed a little disappointed.
But her husband gave no room for negotiation. Instead, his ice-cold large palm held the back of Yun Zhi's head, and he said in a low voice, "Be good."
A chilling aura brushed past her ear.
Yun Zhi obediently nestled in his arms and agreed: "Alright."
But her eyes blinked imperceptibly.
Four days later was exactly the time the instance ended.
Setting the time for four days later—was it to ensure she wouldn't leave the instance in four days, or to ensure that four days later—
She would stay in the instance forever?
This instance was really not that simple. If she just waited at home doing nothing, could she really clear it directly after seven days?
Yun Zhi didn't believe it.
It seemed she still needed to investigate more tomorrow. She closed her eyes and slowly drifted into dreamland.
What Yun Zhi didn't know was that every time she fell asleep, the man beside her would open his eyes, his pitch-black pupils staring straight at her face.
As if restraining the desire to devour her.

The next day, after going through the motions of seeing her husband off to work, Yun Zhi began to re-examine the situation at home.
It was still the three-bedroom-one-living-room layout. There was no ghoul crawling out of the bathroom today; everything was calm.
As for the kitchen, Yun Zhi cooked every day and found nothing unusual. After rummaging through the master bedroom and the walk-in closet, Yun Zhi turned her gaze to the study.
The study wasn't particularly large; directly opposite was a wall of bookshelves and a desk.
Yun Zhi had already searched through the bookshelves and desk in the past two days. There was nothing important, and of course, there was not a single photo of Yun Zhi and her "husband" either.
"Could there really be nothing?" Yun Zhi scratched her head.
She sniffed, and a faint fragrance reached her nose—the same fragrance she had smelled since her first day in the instance.
But at that time, there was the smell of blood in the bathroom, so Yun Zhi hadn't thought much of it.
But now that she thought about it carefully, where did the fragrance come from? Yun Zhi circled around the house and found that the study was the most fragrant.
"Fragrance..."
Fragrance is often used to mask other smells.
Yun Zhi suddenly realized: "Could it be..."
【 What fragrance? Is there a fragrance in the room? I want a phone that can smell scents 】
【 Did the streamer discover something wrong with the fragrance? 】
【 Having a fragrance in a strange instance is already a weird thing, right? 】
"Could it be..." Yun Zhi paused, her eyes lighting up in realization, "Could it be that my husband is a person who values quality of life?"
"I really am a happy housewife!"
The bullet comments were full of: 【 Huh? That's it? 】
Yun Zhi: Hehe.
Yun Zhi left the study, leisurely played the part of a happy housewife, and only wandered back to the study in the afternoon.
"Scrape, scrape..."
"Scrape..."
As if something was scratching against the wall, the sound rang out continuously.
Very faint. If Yun Zhi hadn't been right in the study, she probably wouldn't have heard it.
【 Huh? What's that sound? 】
【 I knew today wouldn't be simple. Another ghoul is about to appear, right? 】
【 Sigh, what a disgusting sound. It's like nails on a chalkboard. I'm getting goosebumps 】
【 Help, that's the sound I hate the most 】
Yun Zhi listened carefully for the source of the sound. The study wasn't big, and she soon found that it came from the wall with the bookshelves.
"Could it be behind the wall?" Yun Zhi knocked and patted everywhere, trying to find a mechanism.
Just as she touched a certain spot on the bookshelf—
Click—
The sound of a mechanism being triggered. The bookshelf actually slowly opened from the middle, revealing a pitch-black passage hidden inside.
"Scrape... scrape..."
The sound became clearer.
The smell of blood in the passage hit her in the face, so strong that even the fragrance in the room couldn't mask it.
But it was pitch black inside, and she couldn't see anything clearly. It seemed as if there were eyes full of fear and pleading.
Yun Zhi was about to lean in to take a closer look—
"Wife, what are you looking at?"
A gentle, low voice sounded from behind, with cold breath right at the back of her neck.
At the same time, an ice-cold large palm restrained her waist.
