When Xia Nuo entered the restaurant, Shirley was poking a piece of fried meat on the plate boredly, yawning from time to time, with a tired look on her face.
Carl, who was sitting next to her, was not energetic either, and he still had dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing Xia Nuo coming in, Shirley raised her head and said with emotion: "It's different when you're young, there's no sign of staying up late at all."
Also going to bed late, the boy didn't seem to be depressed at all. On the contrary, his face was radiant, his eyes were clear, and his snow-white skin had a healthy blush.
Xia Nuo blinked subconsciously, probably because he slept too much during the day yesterday
He heard Shirley ask: "You must have slept well after you went back last night, right?"
Before he could answer, Shirley complained, "I haven't slept all night."
"The room is too small. The bed board is narrow and hard. I don't know if there are some bugs in the room. It buzzed all night, so noisy that I couldn't sleep at all."
Last night's room arrangement was that Shirley had one room alone, Quick Karl had one room, and Royne had one room for himself.
Hearing Shirley's complaints, before Karl said anything, Quick echoed with deep empathy: "Yes, I heard it too. But I heard the sound coming from the back of the room."
As for the accommodation conditions, he didn't comment much.
After all, he is a big man, not as delicate as a woman, not to mention that it is normal for a young lady like Shirley to look down on this kind of accommodation.
But who made them all players? After entering the game world, even if the conditions are bad, they have to endure it. After all, they are not here for vacation, but to do tasks.
Regardless of the fact that Quick came with Shirley and Carl, other people took them for granted as one country. But in fact, Quick was later hired by Shirley.
This kind of employment system is very common in the game. Although it is not on the surface, many players have already understood it.
The employer only needs to spend a part of the points to obtain the protection of the employed. In addition to earning points, the hired person also has the opportunity to share the game with real players.
You should know that there are regulations on the number and interval of players entering the game, and what kind of game to enter depends entirely on the arrangement of the system.
On the bright side, the system will naturally not overload players with games. But for this kind of private transaction, they all turned a blind eye.
After all, the player's performance is also linked to the performance of the system. The more games a player enters, the more performance the system can earn. Therefore, they will not block such private transactions at all, and even secretly provide convenience to players.
The task Shirley released this time was seen by Quick's system first, and then notified to Quick.
Shirley is a well-known second-generation player in the game world. Her parents are both well-known gaming moguls. At the beginning, the combination of the two parties caused quite a stir.
Shirley was able to enjoy the resources accumulated by her parents as soon as she was born, and her starting point was naturally several steps higher than others, which was beyond comparison no matter how envied others were.
Fortunately, Quick's mentality has always been good, so when he saw this task, he chose to accept it without hesitation, and then met this young lady who is very well-known among players.
When they first met, Shirley appeared with Carl. The posture between the two is obviously more intimate, but it is a bit off-putting to say that they are lovers, and Quick felt quite puzzled for a while.
But he is not a gossip person, he has been abiding by his duty after accepting the employment, but Carl, although he seems to be an employee like him, will always keep the distance between him and Shirley intentionally or unintentionally.
It's nothing, anyway, Quick is not interested in that young lady, even if Carl wants to pursue her, as long as it doesn't hinder him, he is not interested in paying attention.
But there are only five people in total. Shirley and Karl are not very close, Luo Yin is a boring gourd, only Chang An is left, the child is obedient and sweet, and seems to be easy to get along with.
Quick had a good impression of Shano, he was born to like to chat with people, when he got along with Carl and Shirley, he was almost smothered to death, finally Shano appeared, and he immediately came to chat.
He asked Xia Nuo: "Chang'an, do you have bugs there too? I heard that your room is arranged at the other end of the corridor, is it quite close to the backyard?"
Xia Nuo shook his head blankly: "I didn't notice."
In fact, he felt something was wrong when he heard Shirley's complaints.
Is Shirley's room really as bad as she says it is
But he thinks his room is very nice. It is spacious and bright, and the bed is so soft that it can sink his whole body. He also slept very comfortably last night, and he didn't hear any bugs.
But the village chief doesn't treat them differently, right
Just when he had some doubts, he heard Roin, who had been silent all this time, say, "That's a kind of devil insect, which is especially sensitive to blood. If someone is injured, it will follow the smell of blood to search for it. However, their attack power Not strong, even if the injured prey is found, they are not the opponents of the prey. Therefore, they will make a sharp call to attract a kind of monster called wild raccoon. The two sides cooperate. After the wild raccoon kills the prey, it sucks the prey's blood blood."
It was rare for him to say such a long sentence at the first opening, and everyone was a little surprised. Luo Yin's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, and he asked in a deep voice: "So who was injured on the first day, and who still treats this kind of demon?" Insects attracted?"
Several people looked at each other, Shirley threw away the knife and fork, leaned on the back of the chair with an indifferent face: "Let me tell you first, I am not injured, if you don't believe me, you can come and check. Although I did hear the insects, but I Didn't get out of bed to make sure it was in my room, so don't have to look at me like that."
Xia Nuo was a little puzzled: "Is it important to be injured or not? If it's just magic insects and wild raccoons, you don't need to be so nervous, right?"
Luo Yin glanced at him and explained: "Although the devil worm and wild raccoon are not to be feared, I saw a figure sneaking out of this house last night and went up the mountain. Not long after, the devil worm called The sound rang out. Obviously, the person who sneaked away was injured on the mountain."
Carl took his words: "Since we have entered the same game, we are a collective. If someone breaks away from the team without authorization, the impact will be bad. Especially when you don't know what his real intention is."
"... Is that so?" Xia Nuo's face was still ignorant, he still couldn't understand their nervousness, "Then when did you see that figure, Roin?"
Luo Yin looked at him inexplicably, but still said, "It's about half past one."
Xia Nuo recalled it carefully. At that time, he was still sleeping, and he came out of the room after two o'clock.
Carl said: "Quick and I are in the same room. If there is any movement between the two of us, we will definitely find each other."
But Luo Yin said: "That's hard to say, you and him came together, wouldn't you protect each other?"
After hearing this, Shirley sneered and said, "Then you said you saw a figure, do you have any evidence? You said so many things uncharacteristically today, isn't it to cover up your guilty conscience?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Xia Nuo's eyes widened, not knowing how things would develop like this.
Wasn't everyone eating and chatting normally? Why do you seem to be arguing now
"Everyone calm down first..." Xia Nuo tried to appease everyone.
But things have developed to the present, and no one wants to settle down.
Instead, Luo Yin pointed the gun at him: "You are also very suspicious. As a priest of light, if the injured person is healed by you, we will naturally not be able to find out."
What's the meaning? ! Does that mean he's an accomplice
Xia Nuo reacted, clenched his fists with anger, couldn't think of how to argue for a while, so he could only say dryly: "I didn't!"
Quick couldn't help but speak for him: "According to what you said, if Chang'an treated the injured person and the bloody smell didn't dissipate, the devil insect would follow. Then why didn't Chang'an hear the cry of the devil insect? "
Luo Yin snorted coldly: "Who knows if he's lying?"
Xue Li raised her eyebrows mockingly: "Go around, isn't it me who is your target? Why, Chang'an said that he would go to him if he hurt me. Do you remember this sentence clearly?"
Carl also said: "Even if what you said is true, how can you be sure that it was not the villagers who sneaked away last night, but one of us?"
…
Xia Nuo sat on the stone steps in the yard, with a long corridor behind him, leaning against the tall stone pillars, feeling very depressed.
He recalled the fierce quarrel in the morning, no one could persuade the other, and it ended in an unhappy breakup.
Before he left, the suspicious look that Roin cast over him made him feel as if something was stuck in his throat, and his heart was also stuffy, and he was depressed until now.
He has never experienced this kind of thing before, and he doesn't know how to get rid of his suspicions. Maybe he doesn't need to clarify to Luo Yin at all, because Luo Yin can't produce the evidence Shirley requested, and he himself is not so confident. .
But he just felt depressed.
Obviously yesterday, everyone was fine, but suddenly, the conflict broke out, and the original peaceful atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Even after Luo Yin left, everyone was still affected. Xia Nuo ran out by himself because he couldn't stand the atmosphere.
Xia Nuo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Today's sunshine is not as violent as before, but very mild. The warm sun shone on his body, and a few breezes blew past him from time to time.
Xia Nuo's eyelids gradually became heavy, his long eyelashes fluttered, and his consciousness became blurred.
Soon, his eyes were completely closed, and the last trace of clarity disappeared—he fell into a drowsy dream.
When Xia Nuo slowly woke up, the sun jumped to the center of the sky, two hours had passed.
When he just woke up, his consciousness was still a little chaotic, Xia Nuo just vaguely felt that he was pillowed by something, and that thing exuded a icy and cool breath, but it was very soft and comfortable.
Xia Nuo involuntarily rubbed against it lightly, and let out a contented sigh, looking like a lazy little animal.
Seeing this scene, the man on his pillow couldn't help laughing out loud, the deep voice rang in Xia Nuo's ears, and the boy couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
Although the brain has not yet reacted to what happened, the body has already responded in advance.
As soon as Xia Nuo turned his head, he immediately saw the enlarged face of the man appear in front of his eyes.
The distance between the two was so close that he could feel the man's breath brushing against his face, causing a searing shudder.
Xia Nuo was startled suddenly, he subconsciously wanted to get up and move away, as soon as he moved, an indescribable soreness and numbness came from his legs, he staggered and then fell backwards.
——Then he was hugged by a man.
"Woo..." the young man whimpered softly, and after the man asked "what's the matter" knowingly, he replied with teary eyes: "My legs are numb..."
The boy's eyes were red, with physiological tears rolling in his eye sockets, and he looked pitiful.
The man's heart stopped for a moment.
He heard a voice in his head accusing him, saying: You are so bad.
He laughed silently.
He is really bad.
Because seeing such a young man, his first reaction was not to comfort him, but to bully him severely, seeing him cry even louder.
If possible, he would like to lick away his tears slowly with his tongue, and taste the tear on the tip of his tongue.
What would a boy's tears taste like? Will it be as... delicious as this person
As if he had seen such a scene, the man's heart became more and more restless.
Xia Nuo didn't know that the man behind him had such a weird smile, like an insatiable beast, staring at his prey, as if thinking about how to bite.
Still ignorant of the danger that was close at hand, he asked in a soft, weeping voice, "... why are you here?"
The numbness on his leg came out one after another, and Xia Nuo also knew that there was no other way but to wait for it to recover by itself. In order not to make himself feel too uncomfortable, he could only choose to talk to the man to divert his attention.
"The weather is so good today. I originally planned to go out for a walk, but I didn't expect to see you here." The man chuckled, "Seeing that you slept so peacefully, I couldn't bear to wake you up. But I was afraid When you wake up in such a sleeping position, you will have a stiff neck, so you have to sacrifice yourself to be your human cushion."
Xia Nuo sniffed, and said with some embarrassment: "... Thank you."
He felt very embarrassed for the man to see such an embarrassing appearance, but the man's teasing with a smile slowly eliminated the embarrassment.
"Are your legs still sore?" the man asked.
He seriously told the boy in his arms, "Next time, don't just fall asleep outside casually."
Otherwise, seeing such an unsuspecting little animal, he wasn't sure he would be able to resist taking him away and shutting him up in his lair next time.
Xia Nuo nodded ignorantly, and the man stretched out his hand, gently pressing on his leg: "It may be a bit uncomfortable at first, can you hold it back?"
"..." Xia Nuo thought for a while, then shook his head hesitantly, "I don't think I can..."
However, it was too late for him to say this, the man had a warm and gentle smile on his face, but he did not hesitate to strike.
"Oh!" Xia Nuo couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this time, a female voice suddenly rang out: "What are you doing?"
Xia Nuo looked up, and Shirley was standing not far away, looking at them strangely.
The author has something to say: Shirley: Reject dog food, start with me :)
Boss' thoughts are too impure, everyone come and condemn (support) him!
Regarding Nuonuo's teammates, don't rush to draw conclusions.
Thank you little angel Jingxuan, Lie Caimeng,? Thank you for the irrigation of other little angels~(≧3≦)
