He had just returned from Ying Qianqiu's world when he caught sight of the protagonist of the Western Fantasy novel. Although it was only a holographic projection, it was enough to make Ji Ning feel stunned. It took a while for him to recover.
This means that the Western Fantasy World is also showing signs of merging with the current one. Of course, Ji Ning doesn't think that the appearance of this game is just a coincidence, not to mention that the game's setting is exactly the same as the plot of the novel he has experienced.
In the Western Fantasy World, Ji Ning's identity is a necromancer, the villain in the early stage of the novel, with a gloomy and cold-blooded personality, but also half of the enlightenment teacher of the protagonist Lai Sengers.
In the original book, the necromancer took a fancy to Lai's talent, and regardless of his being a member of the Temple of Light, he kidnapped him back to his lair and forced Lai to follow him to learn undead magic. His subordinates, Lai, lived a very miserable life.
Now that he saw the holographic projection of the blond boy, Ji Ning naturally recalled these past events, but at that time he had already obtained the right to revise the plot, so of course he went according to the original plot in order to get rid of Lai.
In the holographic projection displayed on the terminal, the handsome young knight wears a sword on his waist, stands straight, his blue eyes staring straight ahead, his face smiling, full of vigor, both gentle and free and easy.
As time passed, the boy changed his posture like a game character on standby, took out his saber, and shook out a beautiful sword flower.
A string of words and two options suddenly appeared in front of Ji Ning.
[You took a fancy to Lai and wanted to make him your disciple, but unfortunately, not only did you discover his talent alone, in fact, as long as you know magic, you can see how talented Lai is Outstanding. 】
[Lai has been highly valued by the Temple of Light and has become the youngest knight in the history of the Temple. Even after he held his sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, the Archbishop of Light will personally teach him knowledge, and he will definitely stand at the top of the church in the future. one of the supreme rulers. 】
[But you always do whatever you want and don't care what your future disciple is now, so you decide:]
[One: Rush into the temple recklessly, step on the bishop and punch the knight, carry Lai Sengers back to your residence like a kiss, and do whatever you want with him. 】
[Two: Continue to create incidents to lure the temple to send knights to solve it, until Lai Sengers is sent. 】
The first option is very unreliable at first glance, but in fact, Ning will not choose any of them. If he does not know the consequences of playing the game, he will definitely not touch this game, otherwise he will enter the game. What should I do.
"Jining?"
The bathroom door was not closed. Herinos caught a glimpse of the changing light and shadow inside. When he came in, he saw the projected figure. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?"
"It's a game."
Ji Ning just gave a brief explanation, then threw the terminal he took off, intending to keep his mind out of sight, but he didn't want to touch that strange thing at all.
"Playing games as soon as you wake up?" Herinos laughed.
Ji Ning said, "It's just an advertisement, but I can't close it."
"Really?" A dark color flashed across Herinos' eyes, and he picked up Ji Ning's terminal, "I'll take a look."
Ji Ning immediately stretched out his hand and wanted to get the terminal back. He was joking. This is about the male protagonist of another world.
But this time, it was rare for Herinos to not obey Ji Ning's wishes. He raised the terminal to a position that Ji Ning couldn't reach, and said, "Look, a new label has appeared."
Ji Ning turned his head to look back, and saw a line of bloody red letters appearing in the air.
[If the player does not choose within two minutes, the game will automatically execute the first option by default. 】
How can this work, that option is to die at first sight!
Ji Ning didn't expect that this game would force people to make choices. If the game reached death, there was no telling what would happen.
"This game is very interesting, you choose, I will press the option."
Herinos stared at the line of blood for a few seconds, then suddenly showed a sneer, and stretched out his hand: "How do you choose?"
Ji Ning shook her head and said, "No... I have a bad feeling."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. If I choose, the player should be me, right?"
Herinos glanced at the options: "The first option is obviously unreasonable. It's not an apprentice, but a death sentence. I will choose the second one: create an accident. What do you want to choose?"
"… "
Ji Ning didn't answer, but stepped forward under Herinos' surprised gaze and pressed the second option.
He did not let Herinos choose instead. On the one hand, it was out of consideration for the confidentiality of the mission. He could not reveal the secrets of the novel world. On the other hand, he had been taken care of by Herinos. If this game There is really a problem, and he will feel very guilty if Herinos suffers for him again.
He chose the second option because that was what he did when he was in the Western Fantasy World, pretending to be ghosts in the villages near the capital to attract knights to investigate.
[You selected "Create Event". 】
…
The blond boy in the projection changed his standby action, and his expression became vivid.
It seemed that he heard some bad news, he frowned, nodded slightly, and saluted solemnly: "Yes, Your Excellency, I have already understood the situation, I will set off for Pidi Town immediately, please rest assured. "
"After creating more than a dozen incidents, Rai was finally dispatched by the temple to the town of Pedi."
"You are very happy, waiting quietly in the town of Pedi, waiting for your future disciple to throw himself into the trap."
…
【More events and options stay tuned to unlock… 】
After making the choice, a series of words flashed quickly, and then the projection flashed in the air, and soon disappeared. The terminal returned to normal, leaving no trace or any bad situation.
But neither Ji Ning nor Herinos thought that this matter was over so easily. Herinos looked over and over with Ji Ning's terminal and said.
"This game is not right, you don't play it by yourself, you must be by my side when choosing."
Ji Ning nodded, there was no reason not to agree, he just hoped to hug Herinos' thigh tightly.
"If that's the case, I'll go and stay at your place for a few days." Having said this, Herinos laughed softly and asked Ji Ning, "Will you welcome me?"
"I don't seem to have unwelcome you." Ji Ning said.
Hearing his answer, the blood prince was stunned, as if he wasn't quite used to it, but soon he laughed again, his eyebrows filled with tenderness, just as he was about to say something, Ji Ning's terminal rang again. stand up.
Herinos swept over the message displayed on the terminal, and his smile faded a lot. After being silent for a few seconds, he still handed the terminal over, but he was somewhat reluctant: "It's Gu Chen."
Ji Ning took over the terminal, and the news really came from Gu Chen, to the effect that the film had been completed and he was leaving the hotel. He wanted to say goodbye to Ji Ning before leaving, and asked Ji Ning when he had time.
"Just now."
Ji Ning replied casually, he was fine anyway, as for Ying Qianqiu and Lai, he had to sort out his thoughts slowly, but he didn't want to think about these issues right now, he just wanted to slow down.
Gu Chen quickly appeared in Ji Ning's room and changed into a black trench coat, which made his figure more slender and taller, giving him a more mature and elegant temperament.
When he wasn't smiling, his brows and eyes were stern, but facing Ji Ning, the coldness quickly melted away, turning into a gentleness like spring water, and he opened his mouth with a smile.
"Senior, are you feeling okay? You got drunk so quickly last night, it really startled me. Would you be uncomfortable now?"
When it came to the matter of being drunk last night, Ji Ning felt embarrassed. He didn't expect him to be like this in this world, but on the surface he still had a rather indifferent expression, as if the person Gu Chen was talking about wasn't him at all. A light response: "It's fine."
"I took medicine for the senior, if you feel uncomfortable, you can take some."
Gu Chen put the medicine on the table, and after talking with Ji Ning for a long time, he seemed to have just discovered Herinos who had been by his side, nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. You have been taking care of the seniors, thank you for your hard work."
"Taking care of Xiaoning is what I should do."
Herinos wrapped his arms around Ji Ning's shoulders and curled his lips perfunctorily, "It's not clear that you care about him so much."
"Senior Ji saved me, I can't help but care about him." Gu Chen said calmly, "I don't want anything to happen to the senior, what do you think?"
"… "
Herinos narrowed his eyes, and a dark red flashed across his eyes.
He could hear that Gu Chen meant something, because just last night, after he kissed Ji Ning in front of Gu Chen's face, Gu Chen was silent for a long time before suddenly speaking.
"Are you two lovers?"
Herinos raised his eyebrows, but before he could answer, Gu Chen continued: "It doesn't seem to be the case. It's just your own unrequited love. Ji Ning doesn't like you, and only treats you like a friend."
His tone and attitude suddenly changed, and the sharpness hidden under the gentle appearance was finally released to the fullest.
"Then don't make any moves against him, or one day, you might hurt him."
"He's a public figure and you're his closest friend and hopefully you'll take that into consideration for him."
"Don't hurt him."
After speaking, Gu Chen turned around and left the rest area, leaving only Herinos and Ji Ning.
Ji Ning was still in a deep sleep. Herinos lowered his eyes and said nothing, but his hands were instantly clenched. After a while, they slowly loosened, leaving a bright red pinch mark on the palm of his hand, and a little blood oozing out.
Don't hurt Ji Ning
He had already bruised him all over.
So this time... he must not repeat the same mistakes.
…
Gu Chen left gracefully, and when he returned to the crowd at the party, his face was already full of smiles, and he started talking with others.
But at this time, his mood had not yet completely calmed down. Just now, his emotions had gone out of control for a moment. Seeing Herinos kissing Ji Ning, he could not help feeling angry.
He didn't know exactly why he was angry, the reasons were very complicated, and even he couldn't capture all the emotions in that moment, but he knew that he was unwilling, even jealous.
He was jealous of Herinos.
He was unwilling to look at it that way.
That's why he said that to hide his true emotions.
But what did he want
The author has something to say:
Gu Chen: I changed the script to kiss Ji Ning without authorization. It was purely for the sake of work, and there was no other purpose.
