Mistaking a horror game for a romance novel, he unexpectedly became a legend.

For a moment, the man and the black cat stared at each other.

Song Yi wondered if the world itself was just that magical, but he actually saw a kind of shock in the eyes of a cat, just like a human's.

This feels kind of familiar!

Lu Xiao, the little black cat, immediately bristled. "Holy crap, Song Yi! Song Yi actually came!"

For a moment, the little black cat felt like its brain capacity wasn't enough.

He had so many questions for Song Yi: Why did Song Yi come? How did he get here? At Song Yi's level, he wasn't even qualified to enter the team competition, unless…

Lu Xiao's head felt like it had been struck by lightning.

When he gave all his tools to Song Yi, he considered the possibility that Song Yi would come to this game.

However, that time might be next year, because the team competition is only held once a year.

At this point, we must mention another hidden rule of the game: if lower-level players want to enter the super-high-level game, they must accept the condition that the game difficulty increases by 30%.

In other words, the game doesn't stop anyone who wants to die.

Lu Xiao suddenly realized that he had come out to find food as usual when the zombies were quiet at night, but the zombies suddenly went crazy while he was walking on the road!

So it was because Song Yi and the others came in!

Lu Xiao was so moved he almost cried. Song Yi found this cat's ever-changing emotions hilarious. If this little cat were to act, it would definitely be a hit; its emotions were just too rich.

Song Yi was curious about the appearance of the little black cat, but now was not the time to pet it. There were still zombies chasing him. The two looked behind each other and found that neither of them had fewer zombies behind them.

When they looked at the little black cat again, they didn't speak, but the two of them understood each other's thoughts.

Lu Xiao reacted even faster. He jumped onto Song Yi's shoulder and meowed upwards. Song Yi looked up and immediately climbed up the wall until he reached the rooftop. The iron ladder stuck in the concrete was lifted up by Song Yi, and the zombies on the ground could not get up and could only go crazy down there.

The rooftop wasn't entirely safe either, as zombies were extremely sensitive to sound. Song Yi walked towards a storage room on the rooftop, entered, locked the door, and then let out a long sigh.

I'm so tired~

Hearing this, Song Yi breathed a sigh of relief as the kitten on his shoulder also heard it.

Song Yi exclaimed in amazement at how intelligent the little black cat was: "Oh, the kitten can even sigh?"

With the zombie crisis outside temporarily resolved, Lu Xiao was filled with mixed emotions. He had so many questions for Song Yi, and he meowed at Song Yi more than a dozen times.

Song Yi thought the kitten was hungry, so he took out a piece of beef jerky to tease it: "Don't meow, or you might attract zombies. Here, have some beef jerky."

The little black cat Lu Xiao simply pushed the beef jerky aside and meowed four or five times, but language really does have a generation gap, and Song Yi couldn't understand it at all.

Fearing the little black cat would cause trouble, Song Yi lowered his voice, his tone threatening: "Stop meowing, or I'll take you to get neutered."

The little black cat's eyes immediately wrinkled together. It jumped onto a higher table to get closer to Song Yi's face, then raised one paw and waved in the air.

Song Yi: ??? "Are you calling me over..."

Before he could even say "come," the little black cat swatted Song Yi across the face with its paw.

The little black cat's slap wasn't very forceful; it retracted its claws and only used the pads on its paws to hit people. It seemed like nothing serious, but Song Yi, who was hit, inexplicably felt ashamed.

Something's not right, something's really not right. This might not be an ordinary cat.

Song Yi and the little black cat fell silent again. He had a bold guess, and Song Yi asked the system:

"Tao Tao, can you understand cat language?"

When asked, Tao Tao paused for two seconds before replying: "I can share a pair of eyes with my host."

Before Song Yi could understand what those words meant, his eyes lit up.

When he looked at the little black cat again, the little black cat meowed. Although Song Yi still couldn't understand it, he actually saw subtitles above the little black cat's head!

"Song Yi, I am Lu Xiao."

Song Yi gasped, wondering if he had seen wrong.

"Tao Tao, your system has a bug."

Tao Tao: [Host, my system has no bugs. That's exactly what the little black cat said.]

Song Yi looked at the little black cat in disbelief. The kitten meowed a few more times and said from above, "It's true, I am Lu Xiao."

"I just gave you over 1 items, and you've already forgotten me?"

The live stream room on the 7th was going crazy, with everyone frantically sending gifts. The live stream's traffic hit a record high, and the horror game player was overjoyed.

Who understands? My dead burden has met my living burden.

[Oh my god, I thought these two were complete strangers, but they're actually acquaintances. I felt something was off when the team match restarted, and it turns out Song Yi came specifically to rescue Lu Xiao.]

[Waaaaah, I'm crying so hard! I've liked Xiao for so many years, and I thought he was going to stay in the game forever. I never imagined he was still alive.]

I said, Song Yi and Lu Xiao have an absolute bond that transcends life and death.

[Ahhhhh, I've never seen them play together before, how do they know each other?]

In the game...

Song Yi opened his eyes wide, picked up the kitten with both hands, and looked it over from all angles.

This little black cat was completely black except for its four white paws. It weighed less than five pounds. It was actually Lu Xiao!

"Lu Xiao, how did you become like this?"

Lu Xiao sighed and then began to explain to Song Yi:

"I was ambushed by Su Lie. Su Lie used a tool to extract my soul and put it into the body of an NPC cat in the game."

Song Yi hissed twice: "So, that's why you can't exit the game? Then where is your body?"

Speaking of his body, Lu Xiao was even more distressed. When his soul was extracted, he knew things were definitely not going well. Before he was completely out of the body, he took a pill to prevent his physical body from decaying.

The zombies here are attracted to living things. His body has no soul, so it's no different from being dead. He managed to escape the zombies' clutches, but nobody cares. He's still out there baking in the sun on the main road.
