47: Death Skull

He could tell she sounded very tired, as if she had just finished some business.

"Oh, are you free to come over to my place for a moment?"

After Mu Yaner logged off the game today, she found her home computer had a blue screen. Restarting didn't help, and a skull kept appearing on the screen.

It looked quite terrifying to her. Knowing the computer might have a virus, she planned to have Xiao Xing, who lived nearby, come over and take a look.

Xiao Xing had been renting here for a while. The landlady would sometimes chat with him about daily life, so she knew he was a programmer and should be able to help solve the problem.

"Sister Mu, I'm about to head out for dinner. Is there something important?"

Xiao Xing didn't think much of it. He hadn't eaten yet; if it wasn't urgent, it could wait until tomorrow.

Besides, it was already 7 PM. Going to her room alone with her wouldn't be very appropriate.

"My computer has a blue screen, looks like a virus. Come over and check it out quickly, and I'll cook for you!"

Mu Yaner said, her voice sounding a bit urgent.

She had felt a bit unwell since logging off at noon, but she didn't think much of it, assuming she was just tired from gaming.

But now that it was night, her body felt extremely uncomfortable. Coupled with the skull on the screen staring intently at her, she was a bit scared and hoped Xiao Xing could come over and fix it immediately.

"Sister Mu, it's not great to visit your place this late. The computer can wait until tomorrow."

Xiao Xing didn't care much; computer viruses were common.

Although technology had Advanced significantly, these problems still existed. Where there is light, there is darkness.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Are you coming to help or not? If not, I'm raising your rent next month!"

Seeing Xiao Xing hesitate, Mu Yaner feigned anger.

She lived alone in a luxury suite, which was usually fine, but today the room felt somewhat eerie and gloomy, making her feel afraid.

She thought Xiao Xing was an honest person who lived frugally. If she threatened to raise the rent, he would definitely come over obediently.

"Sister Mu, go ahead and start cooking. I'll be there in a moment."

Sensing her anger, Xiao Xing didn't hesitate any longer. Helping her out and getting a meal in the process—why not?

His computer skills were quite good; in university, his grades were consistently among the best in his class.

Combined with his time working at a company, his intelligence and reaction speed had given him a deep understanding of this Domain.

Especially after the massive improvement in his Divine Soul, he found that things that were once blurry were now crystal clear.

While he wouldn't claim to be a master, his skills were at least at the level of an Advanced engineer or higher. He could fix most blue screens with his eyes closed.

"I'm already cooking. Hurry up."

Hearing Xiao Xing agree, Mu Yaner hung up and put some leftovers into the light-wave oven to heat up.

These were leftovers from earlier; she had no appetite today and had just taken a few bites before going to shower.

She had originally planned to go online to level up, but she felt so unwell that she called Xiao Xing instead.

After hanging up, Xiao Xing walked toward the elevator. The landlady lived in Room 808 on the 8th floor.

He remembered going there once before when he was late with the rent; as soon as he got his paycheck, he had hurriedly and eagerly taken the money up to her.

Soon, Xiao Xing arrived at the door of 808. But just as he raised his hand to ring the doorbell, his brow furrowed as he sensed something strange.

"Is this... Death Qi? And Yin Qi? What's going on?"

With his years of experience, he immediately identified these two types of auras.

Although only a trace seeped out and an ordinary person wouldn't notice, his Divine Soul power was very strong, making it easy to detect.

Why did her room have such an aura?

She had just called him, so she should be fine.

Without thinking further, Xiao Xing began to pound loudly on the door.

"Who is it? Pounding on my door so loudly—if it breaks, are you going to pay for it?"

Mu Yaner was about to continue heating the food when the door was pounded. Not only did it startle her, but this electronic smart lock was expensive. She didn't mind the cost, but she worried he would be pained by the compensation.

Seeing it was Xiao Xing on the monitor, she opened the door immediately.

"It's little brother Xiao Xing! Come in quickly, the food is almost ready!"

After opening the door, she impatiently pulled Xiao Xing inside and closed the door.

If anyone else saw, they would definitely think they were going inside to get down to business.

Because she had just showered, Mu Yaner had her hair tied up, but that wasn't the main thing. She was wrapped only in a thin, sheer robe that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Because the robe was so thin, her private areas were faintly visible, making it hard not to notice.

However, Xiao Xing didn't notice this. When Mu Yaner opened the door, a gust of cold, eerie Yin Qi blew in his face.

The Yin Qi here was quite dense, while the Death Qi was relatively faint. What could it be?

After being pulled in, Xiao Xing scanned the room, his gaze finally landing on an object on the wall. He now understood the whole situation in the room.

Damn, someone is actually this sinister.

Seeing this decoration, even Xiao Xing felt a stir in his heart.

"Xiao Xing, the food is ready. Come eat first, and I'll turn on the computer for you to see."

Mu Yaner took the dishes out of the light-wave oven. Seeing Xiao Xing dazed, she pulled him to a seat, handed him chopsticks, and then went to start the computer.

When she was home alone, she felt eerie and terrified, but with Xiao Xing by her side, she no longer felt as afraid and became more lively.

However, Xiao Xing could feel that her physical condition was not good at all. This was caused by Yin Qi entering her body, and it was a severe case. Fortunately, it hadn't been long; otherwise, she would be dead in a few more days.

"Little brother Xiao Xing, look, it's like this."

Mu Yaner leaned slightly to the side, letting Xiao Xing see the blue screen.

Hiss!

It would have been better if he hadn't looked. Upon seeing this, even with Xiao Xing's self-control, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Those tender areas were already faintly visible, and with Xiao Xing's eyesight, the sheer robe offered no concealment at all; it was as if she were wearing nothing at all.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen such sights before, but Mu Yaner's was still in its natural state and looked quite youthful.

It seemed that not only her figure and face, but her other parts were even more charming. Even Xiao Xing felt a momentary urge to pin her down.

However, Xiao Xing's self-control and character were quite good. After a brief moment, he turned his gaze to the screen.

"Xiao Xing, how is it? Can it be fixed?"

Seeing Xiao Xing staring in her direction, Mu Yaner couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Xing was a programmer and should be very familiar with these computer issues. She believed he could help solve it.

"Death Skull."

Xiao Xing didn't answer her directly but instead uttered those four characters.
