Chapter 1252 - 1219: Has Something Happened to Lin Yi?
Reality, inside the villa
In the room where Zhang Xinying was, a game pod cover suddenly popped open.
Zhang Xinying sat up inside, as if she was shocked awake from a nightmare, gasping heavily.
At this time, the door of another game pod next to her also opened simultaneously, and Shangguan Yue hurriedly walked out of the game pod, coming to Zhang Xinying’s side with a concerned look, saying:
"Xinying, are you okay?"
"Do you want me to get a doctor to check on you?"
At this moment, Zhang Xinying, after a few heavy breaths, finally regained her composure and shook her head at Shangguan Yue to indicate:
"I’m fine, don’t worry."
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room where the two were:
"Knock, knock, knock~"
The voices of Ouyang Hao and others came from outside:
"Feng sister-in-law, are you alright?"
"Yue’er, are you there? How’s Feng sister-in-law?"
From their words, the concern for Zhang Xinying could be clearly heard.
Shangguan Yue glanced at Zhang Xinying, whose face was slightly pale, and then shouted at the door:
"Xinying is fine."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Hao and the others outside immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Guo Shaojie leaned against the door and shouted:
"Then tidy up and come out, we’ll wait for you in the yard."
Shangguan Yue responded:
"Okay! We’ll be right there."
Shangguan Yue quickly helped Zhang Xinying out of the game pod, and, still a bit worried, asked again:
"Xinying, are you sure you’re okay?"
"You don’t look so good."
"Should we inform Feng Hua the Great?"
Shangguan Yue knew that Lin Yi could use magic in reality and also knew that Lin Yi had mastered the wood-based magic for healing.
Wang Zixin’s condition improved thanks to Lin Yi’s treatment.
When Zhang Xinying heard Shangguan Yue’s suggestion, she quickly shook her head:
"No."
"Don’t disturb him."
Just before logging off, Zhang Xinying did try to contact Lin Yi.
But there was no response to the message she sent.
Considering the unique nature of the Rhein Town on Paradise Island, Zhang Xinying guessed that Lin Yi might be experiencing some kind of adventure at this moment.
Therefore, Zhang Xinying didn’t want to affect Lin Yi because of herself.
Moreover, after logging out of the game, Zhang Xinying obviously felt much better than when she was in the game.
Shangguan Yue saw Zhang Xinying’s insistence and said nothing further.
The two quickly changed clothes and headed toward the yard outside the villa.
As soon as they walked out the door, Ouyang Hao and the others gathered around, bombarding Zhang Xinying with questions about her condition.
However, the group was quickly pushed aside by Yu Na, who had arrived dressed.
Looking at Zhang Xinying’s still pale face, Yu Na couldn’t help but express concern:
"Should you get checked out to see what’s wrong?"
Under normal circumstances, if there’s a problem with the body in reality, the game pod will definitely cut off the power immediately and kick the character out of the game.
But cases like Zhang Xinying’s, where there’s a physical anomaly in the game without being kicked out, are extremely rare.
Guo Shaojie and others were also curious:
"Could it really be that Feng sister-in-law has a fear of dense spaces?"
But if that were true.
Why did it take over an hour to manifest?
Noticing the concern mixed with doubt in everyone’s eyes, Zhang Xinying hesitated for a moment and slowly said:
"Actually, I don’t even know why I suddenly felt that way."
"In that moment, I seemed to sense that something bad was going to happen, and my heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable."
"At that time, there was a moment when I almost couldn’t catch my breath."
Hearing this, everyone’s hearts tightened.
Shangguan Yue quickly asked:
"Xinying, do you have a heart condition?"
And then she suggested:
"I know a famous domestic cardiologist."
"Why don’t I get him to check on you? It’ll be quick."
"He’s currently in Binhai City for some academic forum lecture."
Diseases related to the heart are no trivial matter.
After hearing Zhang Xinying’s description, everyone’s first reaction was similar to Shangguan Yue’s, thinking that Zhang Xinying might have a heart problem.
Ouyang Hao added:
"I know that person."
"He’s indeed quite capable."
"If Feng sister-in-law is truly not well, perhaps have him take a look."
However, despite their goodwill, Zhang Xinying just smiled wryly and shook her head:
"I’m fine."
This wasn’t just a polite remark.
In truth, even Zhang Xinying herself was unclear about what had happened leading to such a reaction.
However, she still had a vague feeling that it was somehow connected to Lin Yi.
Then Zhang Xinying turned her head to look at Lin Yi’s room with a furrowed brow:
’Could it be him...’
But as soon as this thought arose, Zhang Xinying shook her head repeatedly, comforting herself:
’No way, no way.’
’It must be my imagination.’
Noticing Zhang Xinying’s gaze, everyone turned their heads towards the room where Lin Yi stayed, Ouyang Hao said:
"Before logging off, I sent a message to Feng boss, but Feng boss didn’t reply."
Xiao He and Shen Yanhua chimed in:
"Me too, me too."
"Wonder if Feng boss encountered something dangerous inside..."
But no sooner had Shen Yanhua said this, he felt something cover his mouth, making him only able to make "Oomph, oomph~" sounds.
Covering Shen Yanhua’s mouth was a frowning Zhan Chen and Zhan Tianpeng:
"If you can’t speak properly, just keep quiet."
Zhang Xinying noticed their response and smiled lightly, comforting everyone:
"No need for that,"
"I’m already feeling much better."
"Maybe it’s just not enough rest, I won’t join you tonight, should be fine by tomorrow."
Upon hearing Zhang Xinying’s words, everyone expressed their helplessness while Shangguan Yue took the initiative:
"I’ll stay and keep Xinying company."
"You still have two more chances to enter Paradise Island, don’t waste them, go ahead."
At this moment, Guo Shaojie came over holding a tablet and said:
"I just checked online."
"Rhein Town was formerly known as Paradise Town, the place where the Celestial Race of Rafam Continent once lived."
"Later, something seemed to have happened on Paradise Island, causing the thousands of people in the town to vanish overnight."
"The Celestial Race also disappeared from the Hundred Races’ sight during that time."
As Guo Shaojie continued to browse through the content on the tablet, sliding as he spoke:
"Outside Rhein Town was originally a pasture where the Celestial Race raised some kind of ’Divine Beast’."
"But on the day the Celestial Race vanished, an unknown poisonous mist covered all areas surrounding the town."
Pausing, Guo Shaojie remarked with a face of uncertainty:
"To this day, no one knows what’s deep within that poisonous mist..."
