The moment he left the dungeon, Tang Ning did not react for the first time. He lay on the bed, not watching the game end, nor answering the phone call from someone unknown.
The bell kept ringing, ringing so loudly that it would have made anyone feel annoyed, but Tangning did not respond.
As soon as he got up from the bed, he looked at the ceiling above his head. The room was so high, so high that he felt so small, like a speck of dust that would be buried at any time.
He thought, maybe it was because the letter paper in his arms disappeared, so his chest became empty, he needed a lot of love, a lot of love, love that could fill this body, love that could drown him.
But who will love me again
"Meow~"
A happy little head appeared in the corner of Tang Ning's vision, its long snow-white whiskers twitching in the air. It stretched out its pink little paws and stepped on Tang Ning's arm, then began to step on her breasts with both paws skillfully. One paw was slightly raised while the other paw pressed. Its nails had not been trimmed in the past period of time and had grown longer, which pricked Tang Ning's skin and caused a slight pain.
Shadow's handsome face appeared on the other side of Tang Ning's vision. It leaned down and looked into Tang Ning's deep eyes that seemed to be filled with dark light. The strong emotion in its eyes penetrated Tang Ning's soul, making Tang Ning's empty chest feel the cold and hot temperature.
"Kiss me." Tangning begged softly.
The shadow covered him, and the cold and gentle kiss seemed to fall on his body like rain. Tang Ning closed his eyes, and a sickly red flush spread across his pale face.
He stretched out his hand and hooked it around the shadow's neck. His snow-white fingers contrasted sharply with the gray shadow. His white fingertips stretched from the neck to the back, like a brush writing on rice paper, except that the colors were completely opposite.
"Meow~" Happy, feeling left out, meowed unhappily. It licked Tang Ning's wet face with its prickly little tongue. Tang Ning turned his head away, reached out his hand, picked up the furry little cat, and leaned in to give it a kiss.
With such an intimate contact, Tang Ning's empty eyes finally brightened up. He reached out and picked up his ringing phone, and found that it was Lin Yun calling him.
"Hello?" Tang Ning asked softly.
"How are you now? Are you okay?" Lin Yun asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Tangning closed her eyes. The kitten curled up on the pillow and snuggled up to Tangning with its body.
Although he said he was fine, it made me more worried...
Lin Yun continued to ask questions with a worried look on his face, "How is your current mission evaluation? I got an A this time!"
Shadow grabbed Tang Ning's wrist with some dissatisfaction and rubbed Tang Ning's neck with his nose.
Tangning let out a sigh, "I have something else to do. Let's talk later."
He hung up the phone and looked at Shadow helplessly, "Okay, it's just that my teammates are worried about me."
Shadow came closer and wanted to kiss her again, but Tangning's attention was on the phone. When she hung up the phone just now, the phone interface stayed on the task settlement. Tangning was still curious about the evaluation this time.

Tang Ning was stunned by the amount of items he had reaped this time. He felt like he had become rich overnight. With so many rare items, he felt like he was in a dream. It was not until he saw the mother's story card that he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.
My heart still feels empty and uncomfortable.
—"Dear Ningning, even if mom is gone in the future, Ningning will be your own parent, take care of yourself, and wipe your own tears."
Tang Ning stretched out his hand and covered the tears from his eyes.
—"If you make a mistake, reflect on it yourself."
He made many mistakes this time, the biggest mistake was not realizing that it was his real mother. If he had discovered it on the first day, he would have had more time to spend with her and travel to more places.
Thinking of this, tears began to flow uncontrollably. Tang Ning tried desperately to wipe his tears. His hands were wet, so he wiped them with his sleeves.
The plastic was passed to him. Tangning spread his fingers apart, revealing a gap and looking outside. He saw a figure holding a whole pack of napkins.
Tang Ning hugged Yingzi tightly, and Kai Xin came up to him, not wanting to be outdone. Tang Ning grabbed the kitten and hugged them together. As she hugged Yingzi and Kai Xin, her fluctuating emotions slowly settled into her empty heart, making her feel like the dust had settled.
—"After you have achieved something, you should praise yourself. Mom believes Ningning can do it, right?"
Tangning asked in a nasal voice, "Did you know?"
Happy shadows were looking at him.
It was Tangning who whispered to his family, "I went to a very dangerous place, but I survived and received an S-level rating."
His family was unable to respond. Tangning patted the happy little head and leaned his head on Shadow's shoulder. He said softly, "So, come over."
"I'm going to reward myself."
"I'm planning on going home," Tangning said to Lin Yun, Zhou Kang, and Jiang Mianmian, "I'm planning on buying a flight tonight."
"What?" The three of them were all equally puzzled and surprised.
At that time, everyone was sitting in a highly rated restaurant. This was the place where he had agreed to meet. He planned to review this copy while eating here. Unexpectedly, before the formal conversation began, he heard this somewhat unexpected news.
"What are you going back for? You finally got out of the game, don't you want to take a good rest?" Lin Yun asked, looking at Tang Ning with a look of concern in his eyes.
The flight was scheduled for tonight, so wouldn't Tang Ning be leaving after a brief chat
"That's right, I'm going home after a rest." Tangning said softly, "I want to go back and relax, sweep the graves, and stay at home for a few days."
He seldom went back before because he felt he could not face it all, but this time he wanted to go back and take a look. If possible, he would also consider moving the cemetery. His mother loved flowers very much. The house she lived in when she was alive was full of flowers, and she should live in a place with flowers after her death.
"You can go back and relax for a while. Can you do it alone?" Zhou Kang asked, "Do you need me to accompany you?"
Before Tang Ning could say anything, a shadowy hand picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Tang Ning.
The shadow that appeared silently from behind Tang Ning glanced at Zhou Kang dangerously.
Zhou Kang froze in his seat, feeling as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
Lin Yun looked at Zhou Kang with some empathy.
"No need, I have someone to accompany me." Tangning smiled and said, "You should also take a good rest. If you need any help, please let me know. My boyfriend is very capable."
The shadow standing behind Tangning looked at everyone quietly. An overwhelming sense of oppression swept across the entire table.
Everyone sat quietly in their seats.
At this moment, a waiter suddenly appeared outside the screen, carrying a tray of food. Tang Ning immediately glanced at Shadow, who squatted down with a wronged look on his face.
After all, Tang Ning didn't want ordinary people to be scared by shadows, so no matter how powerful the shadow was, it had to hide obediently at this time.
The waitress put down the plates without noticing anything and introduced the dishes to the guests with a smile. After finishing the introduction smoothly, she covered her arm and said, "If the air conditioning temperature here is not suitable, you can tell me."
"It's not unsuitable. Thank you for your hard work." Tang Ning said quickly with a guilty smile on his face.
Seeing this smile, the waitress's face suddenly turned red. She took a piece of dessert that Tangning had not had from the plate and whispered, "This is a dessert from our restaurant for you. I wish you a pleasant meal today."
Tangning was about to ask why the sweets were suddenly given to her, but the pretty waitress quickly walked away with a red face.
The temperature at the dining table dropped inexplicably lower.
"Hahaha, why don't I review this A-level copy? There are still many things I haven't figured out." Lin Yun laughed dryly.
Tangning's attention was diverted, "Okay."
There are very few players who can make it out of the A-level dungeon alive, and even fewer who are willing to share their experiences with other players. Therefore, Tang Ning decided that this time the four of them would review the game together, so that everyone could have a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of this A-level dungeon.
Although the type of A-level copy is different every time, it will never go wrong to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
Jiang Mianmian took the lead in the topic, because she was the player who had experienced the most A-level dungeons among the four people: "My dungeon survival rate this time is just above the passing line, plus my dungeon scores are very good, I think my team's overall score can get an A."
Normally, if there are many people surviving in a level A copy, then the probability is that the players of this copy have not conducted too much exploration and mainly stayed alive. The advantage of doing so is a high survival rate, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to improve strength.
For example, Tang Ning's earnings from the A-level copy this time far exceeded all his earnings from all the previous copies. The higher the risk, the higher the return. Only such accumulation can enable him to have the strength to deal with future A-level copies. Otherwise, every time in the A-level copy it is just a consumption, and no matter how strong the foundation is, it will be hollowed out.
Tangning's team went through so much exploration, and half of them were still alive, which is an extremely outstanding achievement."
"The type of dungeon this time is also unfamiliar to me. I think Guijia is a rare psychological dungeon." Jiang Mianmian analyzed calmly: "Many players of card games have some psychological problems to varying degrees. I used to think these problems didn't affect me much, but this dungeon changed my mind."
The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses scanned all the players present: "If you feel that your condition is not very good, go see a psychologist and receive professional treatment. Don't bring hidden dangers into the dungeon."
No one objected.
"Even if you think you're fine, go see a doctor." Jiang Mianmian pushed up her glasses and said, "Okay, then let me review the situation at Lu Yuhua's house in the order of our guests. Tangning should be the one who knows Lu Yuhua best?"
Tang Ning raised his head and simply told the whole story about the dispute between Lu Yuhua and Bai Yingxue in the orphanage.
"The orphanage is indeed dangerous." Zhou Kang frowned and said, "But it sounds like you can get a lot of special props there, such as dolls made by children. It's a place with high risks and high returns."
Tang Ning felt it was a pity because he had left some dolls in the confinement room. However, even though those dolls were powerful props, Tang Ning felt that they were difficult to control and might backfire if used for too long.
After listening, the other players followed suit, and he then talked about the families of several players. When mentioning Bai Wuliang's death, although Jiang Mianmian spoke very briefly, there was still an lingering melancholy atmosphere lingering between her words.
Tang Ning listened quietly. He didn't know how to comfort Jiang Mianmian, nor did he know how to comment on Bai Wuliang's ending.
No matter what outsiders like him think, Bai Wuliang has already made his own choice. Tang Ning believes that Bai Wuliang is such a smart man, and the choice he made is also the choice he wants.
He knew what he wanted and didn't need Tangning or anyone else to judge him.
And Jiang Mianmian
Tang Ning looked at Jiang Mianmian. After she told him about Guan Bai Wuliang's death, Jiang Mianmian raised her teacup and drank it calmly. After putting the cup down, she looked calm and there was nothing unusual except for the hazy white mist on her lenses.
"That hospital is really amazing. Next time you enter an A-level dungeon, you can look for similar places. There are indeed more adventure sites in A-level dungeons than in ordinary dungeons." Zhou Kang said.
"The key is to catch that powerful NPC like the Taoist priest. Otherwise, how can we find a place like the hospital where you can cheat and revive?" Lin Yun touched his chin. Seeing Jiang Mianmian's expression that she didn't want to talk more, Lin Yun turned to talk about his own home: "Didn't I find those body parts in the walls of my dad's other people's rooms before?"
Other player heads.
"It's a Kumantong." Lin Yun said simply: "My father is a businessman. He raised a Kumantong for his own business. The purpose of raising so many mistresses is not only to satisfy his desires, but also to have more children to make Kumantong."
When talking about his father, Lin Yun's expression was full of disgust.
Tangning suddenly remembered something after hearing this. He asked, "Oh, by the way, when I was sealed in the album, what did my brother do to scare you so much?"
When Tangning finished speaking, the atmosphere at the table froze.
A similar, unconcealable awe appeared on everyone's face.
