My Strange Tale Love Strategy Simulator

Zhang Ying's eyes were fixed on Li Danyang; he knew that face all too well! The ruthless face in Li Ziqing's memory merged with Li Danyang's face. Although Li Danyang's face looked a bit older, it hadn't changed much overall.

This Li Danyang is Li Ziqing's father.

On stage, Li Danyang's voice was calm and captivating: "I believe that many of you have received some information about our new product online. I'm here to proudly announce that it's even more powerful and advanced than what's circulating online!"

He paused, then opened his arms, revealing a confident smile: "Our new product from Crescent Technology will be a revolutionary product! It will change the world and usher in a new era!"

Amid the commotion from the audience, an employee brought out a product covered with a red cloth. The product was small, round like a football.

Li Danyang placed her hand on the red cloth and continued, "Have you ever fantasized about living in a world completely different from reality? In a world where no matter how extreme the exercise, it won't kill you, and the world will change according to your will. You can socialize without leaving home and travel through various strange worlds as if in a dream."

"What our new product aims to do is to realize this world! Moreover, it's more real than a dream, immersing all senses—touch, sight, hearing, smell, and even taste—in this illusory world, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion."

Li Danyang grasped the red cloth and slowly lifted it: "Perhaps some people will say this is impossible, but I want to say that we not only did it! But we can do it even better!"

The red cloth was torn off and thrown on the ground, revealing a high-tech helmet. Camera flashes went off one after another, hurting Zhang Ying's eyes.

"This is our groundbreaking new product!" Li Danyang hugged the helmet with both hands. "A fully immersive, motion-sensing interactive VR helmet!"

"By pairing it with our motion-sensing suit, one can be completely immersed in another virtual world built from code. Our independently developed high-powered AI can make the virtual world feel real, I..."

Zhang Ying could no longer hear the explanations on stage. In essence, Crescent Technology's product was a VR headset that allowed people to experience the five senses in a virtual world.

He wasn't particularly interested in the new product; after all, in just a few days, he had already experienced the magic of the real world firsthand.

Instead of listening to the nonsense on stage, let's use our cunning eyes to investigate Li Danyang's background.

The world is divided into black and white, and spirits emerge from behind people in the dense crowd.

Zhang Ying stared intently at Li Danyang's back, gasped, and hissed.

Behind Li Danyang, several half-red and half-black spirits floated, varying in height and weight, but without exception, their faces were extremely distorted and angry, as if they wanted to burrow into Li Danyang's body!

But Li Danyang seemed to have a transparent membrane on her body. No matter how hard the spirits tried to push forward, they could not pass through that membrane and could only be rejected.

Seeing this, Zhang Ying retreated into the crowd, shielding everyone in front of him, until they reached a deserted corner of the mall.

"This Li Danyang is truly something else. An ordinary person might have one or two resentful thoughts at most, but he has five or six half-dead thoughts that are about to evolve into death thoughts, frantically trying to burrow into his body. How many people must he have killed to still be able to collect so many half-dead thoughts under such harsh conditions!"

"The business world is like a battlefield; this saying is indeed true."

For some reason, these half-dead thoughts couldn't invade Li Danyang's body; otherwise, under such an invasion, Li Danyang would have become an idiot at least.

Zhang Ying hid in the corner, watching the glamorous Li Danyang on the stage and the half-dead Nian behind her. An idea was born in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"Are you there, Xiao Hei? Are you awake? I need your help," Zhang Ying said to his shadow.

A pair of white eyes opened in the shadows, and a line of black characters floated out in the air.

[My name isn't Xiao Hei...]

"Okay, Xiao Hei, can you do me a favor?"

[Help me out, and we'll make a promise.]

"I already owe you two, so a third won't make a difference." Zhang Ying pointed to the half-dead spirit behind Li Danyang and said, "Help me contact that half-dead spirit behind that person. You should be able to do that, right?"

Xiao Hei nodded, floated out of Zhang Ying's shadow, and went straight to Li Danyang's back.

The half-dead spirits behind Li Danyang, upon seeing a complete dead spirit, instinctively took a few steps back, displaying obvious fear.

But after realizing that Xiao Hei meant no harm, these half-dead thoughts began to communicate with Xiao Hei.

Zhang Ying watched from afar, wondering how these spirits communicated. Xiao Hei pointed in his direction, and then the half-dead spirits drifted away from Li Danyang and returned with Xiao Hei.

Surrounded by a dead spirit and six half-dead spirits, Zhang Ying felt a chill in the air, the temperature dropped considerably, and the dense yin energy made him shiver.

"Ah—ha—"

The half-dead creature continuously emitted incomprehensible howls, which seemed to penetrate Zhang Ying's brain, causing him to become somewhat disoriented.

He shook his head to clear his mind and immediately reached out to stop.

"Brothers, please stop calling me. Can you do it one at a time? I'm a living person; I can't understand what you're saying."

The half-dead spirits stopped howling and turned their gaze to Little Black.

Zhang Ying also looked at Xiao Hei.

[They're asking, can you really help them get rid of the person they're possessing?]

"Solve it? Xiao Hei, how did you negotiate with them?" Zhang Ying's lips twitched slightly.

[I already told you my name isn't Xiao Hei...]

Upon hearing Zhang Ying's words, the surrounding souls roared in anger and turned to leave, seemingly blaming Zhang Ying for wasting their time.

Seeing this, Zhang Ying immediately said, "Don't leave yet! I can help you send Li Danyang to prison and bankrupt his family business. As long as you help me, although I can't do it myself, I can definitely make that scumbag Li Danyang wish he were dead!"

Upon hearing this, the half-dead spirits stopped, then moved closer to Zhang Ying and began howling incessantly.

"Really? As long as Li Danyang doesn't have a good ending, we're willing to help you." Xiao Hei translated from the side.

"Indeed! Don't underestimate me just because I'm a high school student. I'm Li Danyang's enemy just like you. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If you can help me, I can help you."

After thinking it over, those half-dead souls nodded and agreed to Zhang Ying's request.

"Xiao Hei, patrol the area. If anyone comes, warn us immediately."

[I... never mind, okay.]
