Gossi woke up in bed.
Above his head is a thick curtain. Although the light is dim and dim, it can still be clearly recognized that this is not his temporary residence.
He pressed his own aching forehead and let out a painful groan—the hangover aftereffects began to slowly appear, his limbs seemed stiff and heavy as rusted, and his ears were full of chaotic humming.
The sunlight outside the window poured in through the heavy curtains, imprinting a brilliant golden gap on the carpet and the foot of the bed, and fine dust floated in the air.
Ge Xiu slowly got up from the bed, lifted the quilt and glanced at himself, his forehead hurt again.
very good. Light again.
He really shouldn't be switching between merman and human form too often - it's really uncomfortable to have nothing on him.
Ge Xiu covered himself with a quilt, and he fell back on the bed again, bouncing on the thick mattress, and the soft quilt and mattress wrapped him tightly. The memory of last night seemed to be unclamped. Like a faucet, it slowly returned to the tick.
Some parts he really can't remember.
How he separated from Christine, and how he came to this room, this memory seems to be broken, and I can't remember the slightest picture at all.
As for what happened after that...
As he pondered, intermittent fragments flooded into his mind.
Gorgeous and dreamy light and shadow, the bitter aroma of citrus permeates the icy pool water, and the chaotic snow-white foam—
as well as…
Ge Xiu suddenly widened his eyes - can't you
He raised his hand and touched his lips.
Soft and cold.
But the scorching hot feeling from before seemed to still stay on it. Once again, with the memory faintly hot, the temperature spread quickly, extending from the lips to the cheeks.
Ge Xiu closed his eyes sharply.
He buried his head in the soft pillow, and then yanked the quilt over him over his head, as if he could drive the other things that happened yesterday out of his mind.
fuck... true or false...
kiss
Ge Xiu habitually curled up under the quilt, frowned, and stared at the dark and narrow space in front of him, as if he was thinking about some important matter of life and death.
Mainly... how is this possible
At this time, what he said when he was chatting with Christine before flashed in his mind - "fascinated"
Lovett... fascinated by him
impossible.
This is a virtual world, which was specially created to make him suffer and eliminate sin value. Why would a virtual character have feelings for him? Especially feelings other than malice
Moreover, every world seems to have such a figure.
He remembered Lu Lai's hug.
With the kiss Leno branded on his hand.
and this time...
Ge Xiu raised his hand to touch his lips again, and this time he quickly retracted his hand as if he had been burned.
For some reason, he still had a hard time believing the truth of this matter.
He forced himself to turn his attention away from it, to think about a deeper problem, trying to establish a logical relationship in it that would make sense.
The image of the previous data disintegration flashed through my mind again.
And when everything around him is melting, the strength on his hand is still gradually increasing and the temperature of the other party's lips.
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
- Is this person real
If it's true, then new questions will surface—
Why do those people who want to be punished in the virtual world allow such a character who is not composed of data to exist in this punishment world
Did they know he existed
Or... is it all just a trap? This seemingly non-virtual existence may just be an illusion, and the manipulator behind the scenes induces himself to believe in his existence in order to achieve a deeper purpose.
Ge Xiu sat up, lifted the quilt, jumped down, and sank his icy white feet into the soft and thick carpet.
Regardless of the possibility, the only thing that is certain now is that the loss of one's memory, the arrest on the desolate star, the subsequent prison trial and the final punishment decision in the virtual world, there must be an invisible figure behind it. The hand is in control.
And now the most important thing to understand is the motives of these people.
Only by knowing what they want can he use it in turn and even counterattack.
Before he clearly understood the other party's motives, Ge Xiu was not ready to act rashly.
Ge Xiu looked around the room.
Only then did he see that several pieces of clothes were neatly stacked on the chair beside him, which should have been prepared for him.
Perfect for any size.
Ge Xiu put on his clothes, and simply adjusted his collar and cuffs. He learned from Rowett's previous technique, picked up the hair tie, and unskillfully tied a crooked knot behind his head. Too long hair tied up.
He walked out of the room.
As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a low voice from outside, it seemed that Lovett was talking to others.
Gosew paused, and opened the door to a gap, allowing the sound to come in more clearly.
"… so?"
The man's deep voice was unpredictable, and it sounded a strange sense of oppression.
"This... this... We are still discussing it now, and we haven't come to a consistent conclusion..." The other party's voice stammered, not answering Rowett's question directly, but explained some words inappropriately: " But, but... the data from the blood sample analysis... it's true..."
"Then continue to study." Rowett's voice was indifferent and calm, faintly brewing the coming storm.
The opposite hurriedly replied: "Yes yes. We are doing further analysis on the gene, the laboratory, the laboratory will take a little time..."
When Ghosh opened the door, Lovett turned off the communicator in front of him.
He turned his head to look at Ge Xiu who was standing at the door, his expression softened, the coldness and gloom in the depths of his dark eyes suddenly dissipated, and he slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Awake?"
Ge Xiu nodded calmly.
Rowett's gaze fell, stopping at the soles of his feet on the carpet - slender bones, fair skin, thin blue blood vessels winding on the insteps, toes hidden in the furry carpet, an inexplicable sense of fragility.
He frowned: "Why don't you wear shoes?"
Ge Xiu glanced down at his feet, looked away indifferently, and shrugged: "I didn't find it. Besides, isn't your room carpeted?"
He walked towards the sofa beside him, Rowett's eyes followed him, and he said helplessly: "Just by the bed."
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows, rather unreasonably self-willed: "I'm too lazy to wear it."
He curled his body into the soft cushion, yawned, and narrowed his eyes loosely: "And I'm a mermaid, and I'm not afraid of the cold."
Lovett hooked his lips amusingly, sighed, and said compromisingly: "Well, if you don't wear it, you won't wear it."
He got up from his chair, strode his long legs, and walked over to Ge Xiu in a few steps.
Ge Xiu looked up at him, raised his brows, and seemed to be asking silently.
Lovett bent down, his slender fingers with well-defined knuckles slipped down the back of his head along the strands of hair scattered from his temples, and with a gentle pick, the messy knots were torn apart.
Soft blue-purple long hair flowed down.
He gathered Ge Xiu's long hair deftly and deftly, and the headband slid back and forth obediently, forming a strong and beautiful knot that held his hair firmly.
Lovett's black eyes were deep, and the smile on his lips deepened: "Okay."
Ge Xiu gave him a deep look. The words Christine said last night reappeared in his mind. His eyes flashed slightly, and then he looked away as if nothing had happened.
Lovett asked, "Are you hungry?"
Gossi nodded.
"What to eat?"
"It's all right." Ge Xiu half-squinted his eyes, as if he still hadn't slept enough, and shrunk into a ball lazily: "I don't care as long as there is candy after dinner."
Lovett brushed his hair, his eyes softened a little, feeling that he had a tendency to evolve into an old mother: "Then eat something light. After all, you had a hangover yesterday."
The young man nodded.
"correct-"
Lovett turned and walked out, but before he could take a few steps, Ge Xiu's lazy voice came from behind and stopped him:
"...I can go back to my pool after dinner, right? Your Majesty?"
His pace stopped, and he turned to look at Ge Xiu.
The boy's blue-purple eyes were half-closed, and there was a strange scrutiny in it, like an outsider watching calmly and rationally, with an inexplicable sense of alienation.
Lovett raised the corners of his lips: "Warren."
… what
Ge Xiu was slightly taken aback.
Lovett said patiently: "My full name is Warren Lovett, you can call me Warren."
...is this a bit too intimate for an emperor...
Before Ge Xiu could figure out how to answer, he just listened to Rowett slowly and continued: "Your previous pool was a little too small, I asked someone to expand it for you. During the construction period, you lived in It's fine here."
His tone was still soft, but there was an unmistakable assertiveness.
Ge Xiu was not very surprised.
"Okay then." He nodded nonchalantly, yawned lazily, and then nestled back to where he was: "Remember to have my game console and tablet delivered to my room. "
"it is good."
The man's footsteps gradually moved away.
Ge Xiu lay motionless on the sofa, his chin rested on his knees, his eyes drooped slightly, and his long eyelashes covered the look at the bottom of his eyes.
If the other party is a bait to confuse him, he will definitely be inseparable from him.
And he was happy to see it happen.
After all, if he wants to understand the real purpose of those behind the scenes, he must start with the only unique existence in this virtual world—
This is a game hidden under a mask, and the battle is who can make the last move.
And there are no surveillance cameras here, which is actually more beneficial to myself.
Ge Xiu jumped off the sofa, walked around the table, and turned on the communicator. His clumsy fingers while tying his hair were now incredibly dexterous, as if he already knew the machinery in front of him. The intrusion was successful within seconds.
All records are automatically deleted after the communication ends.
But that doesn't mean it won't leave electronic traces on the hard drive—
Ge Xiu skillfully disassembled, recorded, and decoded. A few minutes later, the video of the communication just now played on the screen, and a familiar voice came from it.
The person who contacted Rowett was a mermaid expert who was temporarily summoned in the glass room. Obviously, it was his blood sample that analyzed the results.
The expert on the opposite side was pale, with a deep blue under his eyes. He looked overly tired. His expression was hesitant and confused, as if he was entangled in some mystery.
He stammered to Rowett to explain the terminology in the report and its meaning, and although every word he said was carefully thought out, Gorshu could still hear the hesitation and uncertainty in his tone.
To sum it up simply -
Judging from the blood samples, Ge Xiu was healthy and had no disease at all. He was an ordinary mermaid.
Ge Xiu frowned, a little unbelievable.
Ordinary? A mermaid whose skin is so hard that ordinary sharp objects cannot be pierced, and whose teeth are sharp enough to bite off metal? Are you kidding me
Did the blood sample fail to detect anything
Apparently, Lovett didn't really believe that the source of the merman's abnormality was so simple, and the video hung up after the merman expert hurriedly explained that the laboratory was conducting further analysis of the genes in the cells.
Looking at the blackened screen in front of him, Ge Xiu frowned and fell into deep thought.
The author has something to say: Attack: Finally kiss!
GOSHAU (thoughtfully) (concludes): This is a conspiracy!
Attack: …
