Welcome to the Misogyny Game

Three o'clock in the morning

"Ah!" Wang Qige sat up, her face covered in sweat, cold sweat trickling down her forehead and disappearing into the blanket.

She clutched her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.

……

"You said you had a nightmare?"

As Smile wrote, she played the audio on her phone and asked, "What kind of nightmare was it exactly?"

"I found myself in a zombie story. I was being chased by a zombie whose face I couldn't see. I ran and ran, but unexpectedly, the zombie was calling my name. I turned around uncontrollably, and the zombie grabbed me. Its eyes revealed a sense of longing and sadness. God knows what expression I had when I saw a faceless zombie. Then someone saved me. The zombie's brains splattered. I should have been grateful, but the zombie's face was clearly Liu Chaoque."

She turned into pieces of flesh and blood, her eyes staring straight at me with regret and longing, slowly losing their luster.

"I'm so afraid that Liu Chaoque will turn out like this in the future," she said with difficulty, clutching her chest.

“Dreams are the opposite; the female protagonist won’t die.” Smile remained calm. “Although we have a zombie setting, we won’t turn the female protagonist into a zombie. So, this game will be called ‘My Zombie Miss,’ but it will put her in danger. Perhaps your dream actually has another meaning?” Smile guessed.

"What does it mean?" Wang Qige's mind went blank.

“You’re just too worried about Liu Chaoque, but if you miss Liu Chaoque, does Liu Chaoque miss you too? I’ve heard a story, I don’t know if it’s true or not, that if two people who miss each other dream at the same time, they will meet in their dreams,” Smile said.

“But that doesn’t make sense either. She dreamt about me, but how could she be chasing me? And in a zombie setting? We should be on a university campus, where I might be being bullied and she might be the only one helping me. Or maybe we’re in high school, writing down questions that are already difficult to answer, and she just wanders in. Dreams are always bizarre. Some things that seem reasonable in a dream become very strange when you think about them after you wake up.” Wang Qige still didn’t think that the two of them were dreaming at the same time.

“Actually, there’s another possibility,” Smile said. “Isn’t there a saying that the number of times you can meet the person you want to see is fixed? If that person has an accident, then she will meet you in your dreams until the fate runs out.”

Wang Qige's face paled, and the voice on the other end of the phone revealed a hint of resentment: "You'd better not try to explain anymore, it's kind of scary."

"So what? You might as well believe that you two are dreaming in sync. Anyway, Liu Chaoque is still alive. It's just a matter of whether you can meet or not. Your fate can't be found in a dream." Smile said, "Relax, work hard. When Liu Chaoque comes back, you don't want to see a tired, panda-eyed, pimple-covered black coal."

Wang Qige was speechless. She calmed down and began to recall the details of the dream. For some reason, she always felt that this kind of dream, which was relatively logical, was very important. But now it was as if it was covered by a layer of fog, and she could not see the truth inside.

Outside the aquarium in the game.

The water in the aquarium was gradually running out, and rescuers rushed into the aquarium to search for the stranded people, while some people stood at the door to record the number of people.

Another group reviewed the surveillance footage and conducted a thorough investigation, confirming that the incident was caused by a shovel. They used it as evidence and took Wu Sifeng away.

Wu Sifeng did not struggle, but only kept apologizing, before being handcuffed and put into a police car.

Caught off guard, Zhao Yuhan and Zhao Xiaomei asked, "No? Her? Why?"

Zhao Xiaomei pointed to the police car getting further and further away and asked Zhao Yuhan next to her, "She went missing and did this? What was her motive? And how did she have the strength to break the glass? And how could just knocking on this one hole cause all the glass in the aquarium to shatter? That's impossible!"

Zhao Yuhan shook her head.

Zhao Xiaomei looked around and tugged at Zhao Yuhan: "Hey, Mu Li is here, but where's Si Man? Where did Si Man go?"

She instinctively looked towards the aquarium, her mind blank: "Oh no, oh no, oh no, could something have happened to her?"

“Let’s go inside and look. What if she’s just trapped? Yes, she’s under control. Thank God, she’s lucky.” She bowed in front of her, desperate and grasping at straws. “Wu Sifeng’s sins can’t get any worse.”

What if they just shoot him? No...

Mu Li stared silently in the direction of the aquarium. He had already come out, so how could Si Man, who was even more skilled, possibly perish in the small seawater? But the way he kept lifting his foot betrayed his anxiety.

Liu Chaoque, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion on the rocks in the aquarium, had returned to normal.

"Wake up, young lady, don't sleep anymore." Liu Chaoque, whose sleep was disturbed, opened her eyes with great displeasure, but seeing the blue uniform made her much more awake. She looked up and smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Good afternoon, police officer."

"Good afternoon." The policeman breathed a sigh of relief and began to lecture, "But young lady, if you're tired, go sleep outside. It's wet and cold on the rocks, is it safe to sleep here? Go change your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold."

“Okay, officer,” Liu Chaoque replied.

"And, do I look that old?" Liu Chaoque finally looked up at the man. She wondered why his name sounded so familiar. It turned out to be Officer Zhou Man. But wait a minute: "Officer Zhou, you've been transferred? You've come to Suzhou? Does that mean I won't see you in Hangzhou?"

"You want to see me?" Zhou Man teased.

"How could you say that?" Liu Chaoque said awkwardly. "Is it a loss for Hangzhou if such a handsome police officer leaves?"

“Oh, I see…” Zhou Man said thoughtfully.

"Yes, yes." Liu Chaoque rubbed her hands together, her wet hair hanging down her sides. Perhaps due to the mermaid buff, her hair didn't look thin at all; it had a very smooth and shiny feel.

When she looked up and gazed at you with those big, watery eyes, Zhou Man felt her heart melt. So adorable…

"Quickly put this on." Officer Zhou opened his coat and put it on her shoulders. "Don't catch a cold."

Liu Chaoque had never experienced wearing men's clothes before, but she was really cold, and Officer Zhou's clothes were so warm, so she didn't refuse.

Mu Li, who had almost ignored the red line and forcibly entered the aquarium to save people, breathed a sigh of relief, but clenched her fists even tighter.

No, who is this shy-faced Siman? How did she turn from a tiger into a house cat? No! This is not the Siman he knows. A wandering soul has come from somewhere and descended from Siman's body.

Seeing Mu Li's complicated expression, Liu Chaoque was also quite conflicted. Fortunately, Officer Zhou Man still had work to do, so he told her to change her clothes quickly and then hurriedly went to carry out his duties.

"Hey~ Hurry up and change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold~" Since Si Man was fine, Mu Li started her mocking mode.

“Officer Zhou, is it a problem that you care about the people? No problem, it’s just his job.” Liu Chaoque really didn’t understand what was wrong with him: “I’m going to change my clothes, you should go too.”

As she spoke, she forcefully dragged Mu Li into a clothing store on the street. Where Mu Li couldn't see, a smile appeared on her lips.

Sure enough, what he liked most was Siman's domineering nature; kittens and such were too scary.
