A Husband Delivered From the Start

When the eerie began to descend, Zhou Zhou was the first to sense that something was wrong.

For no apparent reason, he, a man, became pregnant. When he was eight months along, one of the twins vanished from his belly.

He also gained a pocket dimension. Sensing something was off, Zhou Zhou quickly stocked up on food. After becoming pregnant, his luck skyrocketed, and he kept winning the lottery.

By the time the baby was six months old, the government finally made an announcement: the forbidden zones that had been cordoned off were all places where the eerie had descended.

When the baby was nine months old, Zhou Zhou was chosen.

He wanted to curse the heavens. Fine, you chose me, but why did you drag the baby in too?

Even adults had only a thirty percent chance of making it through. How could a baby who couldn't talk yet, needed to be fed, and could only crawl possibly survive?

Following the veteran players into Happy Neighborhood, Zhou Zhou knew this instance. The death rate wasn't high, but the odds of clearing it were in the negatives. It also didn't seem to spread widely, manifesting in reality as no more than a single room or a single house.

No one had ever cleared Happy Neighborhood. All the players had been marked by the neighborhood and turned into NPCs, trapped there forever.

Trembling with fear, Zhou Zhou entered his home in Happy Neighborhood and opened the door. The interior was warm and cozy.

He pushed open the master bedroom door and stared wide-eyed. The huge photograph above the bed looked exactly like a wedding photo.

The man in it was devastatingly handsome, better-looking than any idol or celebrity.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Zhou would have admired him for a moment. But now that the photo looked like a wedding portrait, he was terrified. I don't want to stay in this neighborhood! Aaaah, I want to take the baby and get out of here!

Soon, Zhou Zhou found a marriage certificate on the bedside table. Zhou Zhou, Ming Yue, married over two hundred years ago.

The man didn't seem to be home. Zhou Zhou quickly found a message board. It said: Husband's away on a business trip. Take good care of the baby at home. I'll be back in a week.

Zhou Zhou thought, Could you come back in ten days? I only need to survive here for ten days.

He calculated the days. Today was already day seven. This is disastrous! I'm doomed! I'm going to have to live as a couple with a terrifying eerie being. What do I do? I'm waiting for advice, hurry... But this Mr. Eerie is really handsome!

At that moment, countless viewers in the livestream watched the Happy Neighborhood instance:

[It's over, it's over. That poor kid's in that neighborhood. Is his child an NPC or a real baby?]

[The baby, the baby! It's one of ours. We're done for.]

[We're finished. Even adults can't make it through, let alone a baby. If the father and son can't get out, our neighborhood is done for.]

[The person above isn't necessarily right. This is an S-rank instance, but it doesn't spread far. Maybe it only affects one room. That's still relatively safe.]

In the darkness, a click came from outside the door.

The door opened.

Footsteps drew closer...

Inside the wardrobe, Zhou Zhou clutched the baby and jolted in fright, trembling all over. Don't come in. Don't come in. Please, I'm begging you, waah...

The handsome Mr. Eerie lifted Zhou Zhou's chin. He looked even better than in the photo.

Trembling and pretending to be timid, Zhou Zhou screamed inwardly: With a face like that, I'm in. I'm so in. Nonhumans are fine too, right?
