Tang Ning stared into those narrow and long phoenix eyes, and countless memories surged into her mind as their eyes met.
"I am a good man who was injured by a werewolf."
When they met for the first time, the young man lying in a pool of blood changed his expression in an instant under the cover of darkness. He originally had a cold and contemptuous expression, but when he looked up at him, his eyes seemed full of pleading, but such a disguise could not completely cover up his subtle evil.
The blood splattered on his pale face, like the bright oil paint smeared on the face of a clown.
Tang Ning had an instinctive intuition, perhaps it was his own judgment of crisis. His first feeling about this person was that he was dangerous.
But the dying man had a strong desire to survive. This desire was so strong that people could ignore his evil. It was like seeing a dying tiger on the side of the road. It was so big that even if it had no strength left and couldn't even stand up, the bloody tiger skin would still make people afraid and unable to bear to see it die there.
It would be even more unbearable if the big tiger tried to show its belly and try to please passers-by like a cat.
Especially since he was a very good liar. Tang Ning stared at this man blankly as he said a bunch of words to prove that he was a "good guy". He couldn't help but think, oh, maybe my feeling was wrong, he should be a good guy.
So he took the man back to the cabin.
He clumsily prepared the potion. This was his first time making this kind of thing and he was worried that he would fail. After preparing it, he carefully tried a sip.
As soon as he took a sip, Tang Ning's face wrinkled with bitterness.
However, he did not feel any discomfort after drinking it, and even felt warm. Tang Ning brought the medicine to the pale young man. The man was so weak that he could hardly open his mouth. Tang Ning fed him mouthful by mouthful with a small spoon.
The potion was very bitter, but this person didn't even frown.
After feeding the man the medicine, Tang Ning boiled some water and used a hot towel to wipe the blood off his face. After the blood was wiped clean, he found that the man looked... strangely good-looking.
Even if the other person has his eyes closed and his lips are blue, he is still so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off him.
She has a great figure too.
But the wound on the abdomen is too serious, should he help the other party deal with it
Tangning unbuttoned the man's shirt, revealing his chest muscles. Tangning quickly looked away, and the next second, his hand that was unbuttoning his shirt was suddenly grabbed by a strong hand.
Tang Ning was startled. He raised his eyes in panic and met those sharp phoenix eyes.
Those eyes were so fierce, as if they could eat people.
However, the startled young man seemed to recognize Tangning. His eyes softened instantly. That gentle look might be a disguise, but it was very suitable for dealing with someone like Tangning.
"Thank you for saving me," he said.
Not long after, the howling of a werewolf was heard outside.
Tang Ning was very scared. He himself had no fighting ability, and the wounded he rescued were probably as weak as him. If the werewolves came... He didn't dare to think about it.
But the werewolf came to the door.
He and the young man were squeezed on a bed. He was so scared that his hands and feet became weak and he had no strength to take out the hidden poison. Suddenly, the man's slender and strong arms hugged him, and his face was pressed against his broad chest, and he could feel the other's steady heartbeat.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Tang Ning seemed to hear his own heartbeat, which was getting faster and faster.
The man patted him on the back and said softly, "It's okay."
The strange emotions that surged in his heart mixed with the emotions of surviving a disaster. Tang Ning couldn't tell what was causing his chaotic heartbeat. He wanted to calm down, but tears fell first.
Under the young man's increasingly dark gaze, his eyes, nose, and ears were red. He wiped his tears in embarrassment, sniffing his nose as he wiped and apologized for his sudden tears.
"It's okay." The man gently wiped away Tang Ning's tears, his eyes were so gentle that he didn't even notice it.
The next day, Tang Ning cooked a pot of mushroom soup.
This was his first time stewing soup. After it was done, Tang Ning took a sip and it tasted terrible. It was so terrible that Tang Ning's face wrinkled. Before Tang Ning could destroy the soup, the man suddenly walked out from behind him, scooped a large spoonful, and drank it without changing his expression.
The young man finished the soup and said politely, "Thank you."
Tang Ning was a little worried that this man might have something wrong with his taste buds. Not long after, the young man came back from hunting and cooked a pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms. It was delicious. Tang Ning ate a lot and even burped at the end.
While he was eating, the young man stayed with him and watched him eat.
Tangning's ears turned red. He thought, this person could make chicken and mushroom stew so delicious, he must have known that the soup he just cooked was terrible...
At night, the young man taught him how to make traps and what to do if he encountered a werewolf. He said a lot of things. It was so dark outside and Tang Ning didn't feel safe at all. He wanted to ask the man not to leave, but he didn't know how to say it.
The man still left.
Tang Ning waited in the cabin for a long time with a knife in his hand. He didn't dare to sleep, not only because he was afraid that a werewolf would break in, but he was also worried that the man would encounter danger outside.
Once again, the injured young man returned.
His old injuries had not yet fully healed when he developed new ones.
Tangning felt particularly depressed and uncomfortable when he saw these injuries. He didn't want this person to get hurt. "This is poison. It can kill werewolves."
He gave this man his most powerful trump card.
They should be good teammates now. This bottle of medicine can play the greatest role only when given to this person. He also wants to eat the delicious food made by this person every day.
When Tang Ning woke up on the third day, he told others that the witch had killed someone.
Tang Ning was a little confused.
He went to see the deceased, who was poisoned.
Tangning sat in his seat in a daze. He suddenly thought of many things, such as the fleeting cold expression he saw on that person's face when he first met him, and the night when that person protected him in his arms. Why would the werewolf suddenly leave? If the person protecting him was also a werewolf, then everything would make sense.
Why was this werewolf so kind to him? He protected him, cooked for him, and taught him how to make traps...
In fact, it is very simple, just that bottle of poison.
The night they first met, he foolishly told the man: "Don't be afraid, I am a very powerful witch, and I have a bottle of poison. If the wolf comes in, I will poison it to death."
He gave the poison to the werewolf, and the werewolf couldn't wait to use it, not even bothering to hide it.
Tang Ning was a little dazed.
He returned to the cabin in a daze, not knowing what to do next. He was very weak and without the powerful poison, was he going to die soon
At this time, the werewolf came to the cabin. He didn't say anything, and the werewolf didn't say anything either. They just silently reinforced the cabin and checked the traps around it.
It seems that they are still partners who can fight together.
Tang Ning didn't know why this werewolf was still being nice to him. It was obvious that he was no longer of any use to him, right
Could it be that... this werewolf...
A vague guess popped up in his mind, which seemed a bit stupid, and Tang Ning quickly shook his head.
The werewolf left.
Tang Ning was sitting in the cabin holding a knife, facing the dangerous night all by himself. Suddenly, he heard the howl of a wolf and the sound of a hunter's gunshot outside.
Is he in danger? !
Tang Ning stood up quickly. He suddenly understood what the man meant. He wanted to reinforce the cabin. The cabin was a shelter left for him by the man. As long as he could run into the cabin and close the door, the hunter would be unable to do anything to him.
And he is the one who opens and closes the door.
As the wolf howls got closer, Tang Ning's heartbeat got faster and faster. He secretly pushed open the door and looked through the crack. With the cold moonlight, he could see the scene outside the house. A monster with wolf hair all over its face was staggering and running, its dark green eyes dangerous and indifferent.
There was a gunshot. Tang Ning's pupils constricted as he saw the werewolf kneeling on the ground. At that moment, he was possessed by an impulse and rushed out quickly, dragging the "him" who had completely transformed into a werewolf into the door.
"Are you okay, I--" Before he could finish his words, a sharp claw suddenly pierced into his left chest, passing through layers of ribs and entering where his heart was beating.
Warm blood splattered on the werewolf's face, just like the first time they met.
Tang Ning's body twitched. He opened his eyes wide and watched without blinking as the being in front of him took out his heart without hesitation, opened his fang-filled mouth, and bit down.
Werewolves gain strength through killing.
It turns out that his final use, besides opening and closing doors, is as a health pack used to restore strength.
So... that's how it is...
Tang Ning's body fell backwards weakly. Before he lost consciousness, his mind resurfaced with memories of this afternoon. That person was busy in the cabin. At one point he suddenly thought, I am no longer of any use to you, but this guy is still being nice to me. Does he, like me, have a little... crush on me
…
All memories returned to Tang Ning. Tang Ning stretched out his trembling hand and covered his left chest.
This is the first time you and your prince met. The system asked: It was your prince who killed you.
He pressed his fingers against his left chest, as if that could suppress the pain of his heart being dug out alive.
Tangning, who had been watching the whole time, immediately guessed that the system must have done something. Before she could even open her mouth to explain, she heard Tangning's weak but firm voice, "He wasn't the one who killed me."
What are you talking about
When a werewolf is fully transformed, its original face will be covered with wolf hair. After the second transformation, its huge body will tear clothes apart. Normally, werewolves look the same to ordinary people, but Tang Ning has never seen a wolf-like appearance before. How can he tell them apart
"Inzheng, he likes me. I can see that."
When they first met, Tang Ning had no experience in love and couldn't tell whether the man was treating him well because he liked him or because he wanted to take advantage of him.
But Tang Ning had gone through so many instances, and her other abilities might not have improved much, but when it came to dating a prince, Tang Ning was probably the most experienced person in the world.
Through those memories, he could tell at a glance what that seemingly taciturn and extremely cold man was thinking.
I opened my mouth, but just like the system, I didn't know what to say.
Tangning closed his eyes. He had no strength left and felt groggy. "Oh, by the way, I've also learned something. That's to go against you."
system:"… "
At this moment, countless ghosts appeared outside the house. They were all the ghosts that Tang Ning, Lin Yun, Si Tai and Li Haoyuan had seen in all the copies they had experienced. They appeared together at the last moment. A cold and gloomy aura seeped into the house from outside. The glass was shattered in an instant, and ghosts rushed in one after another!
Those who wanted to speak to Tang Ning had no choice but to stand up and face the seemingly endless waves of ghosts alone.
"Wawu wahwu!" A loud cry came to his ears. Si Tai had turned into a little baby. Lin Yun, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, heard Si Tai's cry and also started to wah wah wah.
When they first arrived in this world, they came here wailing loudly.
The elderly Li Haoyuan could no longer hold the crying Si Tai. His breath was weak and it looked like he would die any moment. But as long as they could hold on for the last part of the day, they could end this game and return to the real world!
Tang Ning, who was lying on the sofa, had difficulty breathing at this moment, but his mood became infinitely better.
He believed in the prince's strength.
As long as the prince is there, they will be able to persevere until the end of the game and pass it successfully!
You will pass the level, no. The system said.
What
Tang Ning looked at the figure standing in front of everyone. The figure was emitting power continuously, forming an invisible barrier that kept the hideous and terrifying ghosts out.
Although the power of those ghosts and monsters was weakened by the waves of impact, Tang Ning believed that even after a day, a week, a month, or a year, the figure would continue to stand firmly in front of him and block all dangers.
It’s not because of those ghosts, it’s because the mission is different from yours.
Line Mission 1: Kill! Kill the remaining players within six days!
Tang Ning was stunned when he saw this task.
Only by killing all the players can you... clear the level
Line Mission 2: After Tang Ning regained the little witch's memory, she still wanted to love a monster (she wanted to give up her life for love)
You can pass the level only after completing any task.
The system asked with great interest: So, are you willing to pass the level and die
Although you can clear the level by completing any one of the tasks, both tasks require Tang Ning to die.
The system knows how attractive it is for players to complete the game. Tang Ning was the best example.
Although Tang Ning is very different now than he was in the past, they are essentially the same person. The reason for their different personalities is their different experiences in card games. Since they are the same person, they should be able to make the same choice when faced with the same multiple-choice question.
"I do."
The system, which was sure of victory, was stunned for a moment, and the one standing in front of Tang Ning turned around in shock. A fierce ghost pounced on his shoulder and bit his neck viciously, but he just stared at Tang Ning blankly as if he had noticed nothing.
You may have some misunderstandings. The system said: If you choose death, your Sleeping Beauty card will not work, because I will make you fall into a long sleep, a long sleep of death.
"So I don't have to kill myself with my own hands?" Tangning said softly, "Great, go ahead."
… I think you were blinded by the illusion. The system gave Tangning a new perspective. Under the power of the system, Tangning saw the skin on his body fade away, leaving only a thick black mass, which was the collection of resentment.
But this didn't really matter to Tang Ning, because he had accepted the shadow a long time ago, and the visual effect of this incarnation of resentment was similar to that of a shadow.
Many of his wonderful qualities that you fell in love with were actually imitated by him from the prince-like Xie Yunting.
Tangning no longer had the energy to listen to the system's nonsense. His current body was probably a hundred years old, right? Every part of his body was uncomfortable. Living with this body was more like torture.
"If I love the parts of me that are like Xie Yunting, then why shouldn't I love Xie Yunting?"
As if struck by lightning, he stood still.
It was a ghost that pounced on him, but this time, the ghost blocked Tang Ning's view and was slapped away by the man who was distracted.
The dying centenarian on the sofa tried hard to open his cloudy eyes and looked in the direction where he was.
"I don't even know your name yet." Tangning said softly.
There have been countless titles, but no fixed name.
"Let me guess, is there a word 'cloud' in your name?" Tang Ning's voice gradually became weaker and his eyelids drooped slightly as if he was sleepy. It seemed that he would soon fall asleep, but the determination to get the name still supported Tang Ning to keep his eyes open.
So he said, "Yes."
Now that I have a name, what kind of surname should I choose
Said: "My last name is Tang, and my name is Tang Yun."
After saying this name, it seemed that many things in Mingming were different, as if he had fallen from a wandering soul with no support into the human world, and from, he had become him.
Hearing this, Tang Ning slowly smiled. His appearance was no longer the same as before, but when the white-haired old man smiled, it was still as warm and beautiful as when he was young.
"I love you, Tang Yun."
I wish you lost your life.
Tang Ning closed his eyes. Thick darkness covered his vision. The darkness continued to spread, obscuring his thoughts. He fell into a long, long darkness.
Ding—You have completed the line mission of surviving safely for six days! Congratulations on successfully completing the card game!
All the ferocious ghosts stopped at this moment. The old Lin Yun and Li Haoyuan turned into white light and disappeared. The shrinking Si Tai also turned into white light and left the game.
Only Tang Ning was lying on the sofa, soundly sleeping.
Tang Yun walked towards his sleeping lover step by step. With every step, his appearance kept changing. One after another, the faces he had used appeared and were rejected by him.
Finally, his expression was frozen on a handsome and flawless face.
This is a new image of Man that he created himself.
He picked up Tangning and stood in the vast dungeon world. He said calmly, "You lose."
Do you have to leave? The system said coldly: If you leave, all the copies you have been through will be in chaos.
"I'm looking forward to seeing us in a mess." Tang Yun raised the corners of his lips, "I'm even more looking forward to seeing you in a state of panic."
You said that, aren't you afraid that I will regret it now and let you and your sweetheart stay here forever
Tang Yun raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the room above his head. As he looked, the house dissolved in an instant, and all the surrounding buildings, flowers, plants and trees also disappeared.
He looked up at the sky.
The moon and stars in the sky disappeared, countless lights were lost in the darkness, but the sky was still there.
The power of the system still firmly controls this world. It seems that as long as it wants, the entire world will become a huge cage, trapping these two tiny beings.
"You can't do it." Tang Yun said word by word: "Even if you are strong, you still have to abide by the rules."
The system remained silent.
"Because you are the rules. To deny the rules is to deny yourself."
Tang Yun showed a malicious smile on his face, "If you want to veto all of this, then you will become the same as me... loophole?"
A longer silence.
then.
The player has completed line mission 2. Congratulations on successfully completing the card game!
…
Tang Ning was sleeping in darkness. Suddenly, he heard the sound of curtains being drawn. Then, bright light shone through his eyelids and illuminated his vision, making him see a red and black color.
Long eyelashes.
Tang Ning opened his eyes dazedly and saw a familiar ceiling. This was the ceiling of his bedroom in the real world.
"Meow~" The happy call sounded happily beside the ear, accompanied by the happy purring sound.
A figure walked towards him against the light.
It seems to be a shadow.
Tang Ning raised his eyes and looked at the man. He saw a slender hand gracefully remove the golden tools covering his face, revealing a handsome face.
Tang Ning's breathing stagnated and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated at this moment.
This face made Tangning's mind flash back to many faces he had seen before. It was Mo Yunchu, Qi Yun, Gong Yun, Gu Mingxuan, Geng Xi, Su Anyun, and No. 1...
Tang Yun lowered his head and kissed Tang Ning between the eyebrows.
"I love you too, Xiaoning." He said with a smile.
