Came into the darkness after the clearance.
Xiao Lan still feels a little unreal.
He thought that when he finally came to the crow, there would be one of the most difficult levels to pass.
In the end, I didn't expect it to be this kind of harmonious and friendly fan meeting, and even the crow gave him a poverty point very well.
Teacher Crow is such a good person, Xiao Lan couldn't help thinking.
Until he saw Luo in the dark.
Luo didn't look very good.
One of his arms was missing, and even the part of his shoulder was missing, as if torn by some terrible force.
Even the face has a few deep scratches, revealing the pitch black under the skin.
Xiao Lan hurriedly walked over: "Luo! What's the matter with you?!"
Luo moved his neck and laughed in a low voice: "Heh... Teacher Crow gave me a little surprise."
Xiao Lan: "..."
Looking at this injury, Mr. Crow's surprise seems... a bit brutal.
It is more appropriate to say that it is fright.
As he said, a dark shadow gushed from the gap in Luo's shoulder, and then stretched out, gradually forming the shape of an arm.
Luo moved his new arm. After feeling free to move, he reached out and brushed the wound on his face, adjusting his skin back to its original state.
Luo resumed his usual posture: "But... Fortunately, please don't worry."
Xiao Lanzai looked at Luo carefully, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly he thought of Qi Ning.
If there is such a difficult "surprise" in the end, wouldn't the serious injury of Qi Ning be too bad for you!
The two hurriedly left the darkness and returned to the room.
Xiao Lan couldn't wait to use [Dark Crow Whispers] to contact Qi Ning.
After being in contact for a while, Xiao Lan's heart couldn't help but was not picked up.
However, the system did not indicate that the props cannot be used, at least indicating that the holder of the props is still alive.
Xiao Lan didn't dare to hang up, so she kept her active state, staring at [Dark Crow Whispers].
[Dark Crow whispers] He is almost staring at him.
After a long few minutes, Qi Ning finally got in touch.
His voice sounded collapsed, and more weak than usual: "Cough cough cough... cough cough... Xiao... Lan?"
Xiao Lan asked hurriedly, "How is your place? Do you need help?"
A weak voice came from Qi Ning: "I'm still alive... At the last minute, I used [Adrenaline X0044] to get away smoothly. Currently...cough... I can't die, there are some side effects. Just wait a while and don't need to help me. "
He seemed to cough up blood: "Cough... Crow... Really ruthless..."
Perhaps Qi Ning has always come here like this. When he was injured and weak, he carried it by himself, and he didn't want to be seen in his embarrassed side, even if he was a friend.
After Xiao Lan confirmed with him again that he did not need help, she hung up the communication.
After contacting Qi Ning, Xiao Lan fell into deep thought.
Could it be that this is the treatment of the readers that the crow is most interested in, and Luo and Qi Ning are in the normal state of customs clearance
It turns out that this is the real lucky place.
Why is the feeling of getting out of Europe so unreal
It's like... The luck value of this life has been overdrawn...
—
Back in the player's room again, the two took a good rest.
At night.
Xiao Lan sat alone on the bedside, and took out the [Pandora's Box] obtained from Miss B from the storage space.
【Name: Pandora's Box (Unknown)】
【Ability: Unknown】
【Description: Unknown】
A box that should be related to Xiao Chengyan, everything is unknown and cannot be opened by others.
There is no lock on the box, it seems to be just closed randomly.
But no matter if Xiao Lan turned it upside down or shaken it, the lid of the box didn't move, as if it had been welded to death.
The cold touch from the fingertips made people feel uneasy.
What will happen if you open it
He tentatively opened the box.
Unexpectedly, it was just a little force, [Pandora's Box] was like an ordinary unlocked box, it was easily opened.
It's like Xiao Chengyan made tricks on this box, and only Xiao Lan can open it.
And what was inside was the metal bookmark he gave to his father that year.
Xiao Lan picked up the bookmark.
The bookmark is still the same as it was back then, without any changes. It is not even a prop, and no explanatory text can be seen.
Otherwise, it was empty inside.
That's it
Xiao Lan couldn't help but wonder.
Xiao Chengyan specially put it in the npc, and even the box that no one could open, contained a bookmark that was not even a prop
He tossed over the bookmark several times, but he still didn't get any results.
Xiao Chengyan shouldn't be bored. He deliberately set up a prank for himself, right
"Hahaha..." Suddenly, Xiao Lan heard laughter not far from her.
He obviously stayed in the room alone, and the player's room that descended into the world, it would be impossible for anyone to enter without the owner's permission.
What's happening here
Xiao Lan turned her head to look, but saw a familiar but somewhat stranger.
It is Xiao Chengyan.
But this Xiao Chengyan was completely different from what he remembered.
Although he had the same face, the eyes of this man looked arrogant and wanton, and his figure was much stronger. The smile on his face was something Xiao Lan had never seen before.
And what’s even stranger is that the environment in which Xiao Chengyan is located,
He was sitting on a rock next to a lava pool, his whole body was wounded, and his gray windbreaker was in tatters. It looked like he had just gone through a big battle.
This lava pool was now integrated with Xiao Lan's bedroom.
Half of it is a normal bedroom, usually a naturally occurring lava pool, as if it were originally part of his bedroom.
what's the situation
"Hey, why are you stupid?" Xiao Chengyan said again.
Xiao Lan recovered her mind and thought of Xiao Chengyan's identity as a master of illusion. With illusion, everything is possible, right
But facing this overly complicated father, he didn't know how to speak for a while: "..."
Xiao Chengyan looked indifferent: "You seem to have a lot of doubts. Anyway, this medium was originally established for you. Why not ask slowly. As a father, I can explain to you patiently."
Xiao Lan shook the bookmark in her hand: "Medium, does this refer to this bookmark?"
Xiao Chengyan: "I have left some familiar things in many playgrounds. If you are interested in me, you will definitely contact me. The ultimate point of these things is mine. Okay, what do you want to know? "
Xiao Lan thought for a while, and picked a question as a start: "When you... disappeared, did you plan to return to reality?"
Xiao Chengyan nodded: "Yes, I have a goal and I need to go all out, so I can't take care of the real world anymore. At that time, I planned to deal with the rest of the company and related debts and not go back."
Xiao Lan frowned: "I planned to deal with debts, but then why I found a written one... No, it should be why you know my skills and are sure I will enter the game."
Xiao Chengyan smiled and said, "It seems that you have already met Cheng Wenyi's sorrow boy. I guess he should have taken the initiative to find you, right?"
Xiao Lan nodded.
Xiao Chengyan: "At that time, I didn't show up in the light anymore, I was just secretly dealing with the rest of the company's affairs. But one day I stole... I went home and took a look, and I found the mark of coming to the world on your body."
At that time, I just wanted to take a look at my wife and children in secret.
He found that his son had also gone to hell, and it was difficult for him to describe his mood at that moment.
"I sent someone to bring you here, but guess what I found?"
"You can't hear any news about coming to the world."
"Isn't it weird that a person with the mark of descent to the world is blocked like an ordinary person."
Only then did Xiao Lan remember that there used to be a strange person who secretly found herself on the way from school one night, said something babbling, and tried to get him in the car.
At that time, he thought he had encountered a neurosis or abnormality, so he ran away.
But to be honest, that person has left green dragons and right white tigers tattooed on his body, and his smile is wretched, so he doesn't look like a good person...
Although he is only fifteen years old but not stupid, he would never choose to go with him.
Xiao Chengyan continued: "Later I discovered something even stranger-you haven't entered the game for a whole month. It was an incredible thing to descend into the world at that time. At that time, no player could have such a long rest. time."
"Later, I found another mark on your body. It's amazing, that mark can actually suppress the one that descended into the world."
"So, I sensed the power of this mark and found the rebellious."
"Then from him, I learned about you, and with the opportunity you brought us, we started to cooperate."
"Although the rebel said that as long as he is not dead or seriously injured, you will not enter the game again, but the eggs can't just be placed in one basket, right, so I found Written One again."
Xiao Lan took a deep breath: "Then what should mother do? Have you ever thought about her when you did this!"
Xiao Chengyan sneered and asked, "Are you underestimating Wen Qi?"
Wen Qi, this is Xiao Lan's mother's name.
Xiao Chengyan stared in an unknown direction: "After I chose to disappear, she once found me."
Xiao Lan was surprised: "What?"
He never heard his mother mention it.
Xiao Chengyan said: "She has never been a shrewd person, she is often a little confused, but this time she is too smart..."
"Wen Qi started looking for me long after I disappeared. Perhaps the company's debts were secretly handled, which has already made her suspicious."
"Later I asked Cheng Wenyi to put a debt in her name, but I won't let her... Well, I found someone to arrange a new identity for her to go abroad. She only needs to wait a few years abroad until you Freedom after adulthood."
"But she used this clue to find me directly. I don't know when she has such an ability."
"She even vaguely guessed things related to the descending world, guessing my goal, and even the motivation for creating debts through my actions. Unfortunately, because of the restrictions of the descending world, I couldn't tell her anything."
"Later, she only asked me one question—"
"If what you want to do fails, will our son also be in danger?"
Xiao Chengyan turned his head and asked Xiao Lan, "Isn't he very smart?"
Xiao Lan was speechless for a while. In his memory, his mother was a gentle person, not a type of career strongman. Such a keenness was nothing like his impression.
Xiao Chengyan asked again: "Do you want to see her? I have not seen her for a long time..."
As his voice fell, Xiao Chengyan stretched out his finger to point to his head, and then pointed his index finger to the void.
A piece of light and shadow suddenly gushed from his fingertips, intertwined into a picture.
A woman appeared in the picture.
The appearance was delicate and soft in Xiao Lan's memory, with a gentleness and calmness that seemed to radiate from his bones.
It's a pity that Xiao Lan looks more like Xiao Chengyan, except for her cold white skin and face shape, she doesn't look much like her mother, and the whole person has not inherited her mother's gentle temperament at all.
But at this moment, the expression on Wen Qi's face was fierce that Xiao Lan had never seen before.
She stared directly at Xiao Chengyan who was sitting across from her, she could not see the slightest meaning of softness and retreat.
Wen Qi: "What did you say?!"
Xiao Chengyan's tone was flat: "Leave him alone. He needs to be tempered to grow. He doesn't have much time."
Wen Qi clenched her fists: "We don't teach how to make him grow?!"
Xiao Chengyan didn't let it go: "If he dies or is devastated because of this, he is not worthy of being my son."
The anger caused Wen Qi to breathe quickly. She reached out and picked up the cup in front of her, and threw it at Xiao Chengyan fiercely: "Go away! My son, I won't leave him alone."
Xiao Chengyan could easily avoid it, but he didn't hide, and was splashed all over his face.
The two men in the picture fell into a brief confrontation of silence.
Xiao Chengyan outside the screen said: "Wen Qi is so beautiful, and she is the only one in the world who is so beautiful when she is angry."
Xiao Lan: "... Are you shaking M?"
"Hahahahahahaha..." Xiao Chengyan laughed to himself.
In the picture, Xiao Chengyan spoke. He did not wipe his face and said calmly: "He needs to learn how to survive by unscrupulous means, even if it is cheating, betraying, stealing, or even stepping on someone else's body. What he is going to face is not What kind of parental education can solve the environment."
Wen Qi stood up: "I will never allow my son to become a despicable man to survive! He will live as an upright and kind person!"
Xiao Chengyan: "Even such kindness will kill him?"
Wen Qi said firmly: "I will teach him that kind people have a chance to live. Kindness does not mean weakness, nor does it mean stupidity, nor does it mean incompetence."
"Now, you go and do your own thing, and I will take care of my son here."
"Don't show up in front of him again, don't let him know your terrible plan, just let him think that his father is really missing."
"Look at who of us is right."
After speaking, Wen Qi turned and left.
Xiao Chengyan just sat on the spot like this, staring at the back of her leaving without blinking.
Suddenly, Wen Qi paused in her footsteps.
She didn't look back, and asked softly: "How sure are you... how sure are you that you can come back alive?"
Xiao Chengyan seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "Take one to two percent."
Wen Qi: "... madman."
Xiao Chengyan just smiled and didn't speak.
When Wen Qi was about to go out, he said: "Take care, your health is not good recently, I will always keep that foreign identity for you."
Wen Qi's progress stopped again, but she didn't say anything.
When her figure had already stepped out of the door, an almost inaudible voice came from the door: "Take care..."
Xiao Chengyan inside the room laughed, and he answered with his lips: I will.
The picture blurred and disappeared gradually.
Xiao Chengyan feels a little regretful: "It can only be displayed to this extent now, it's a pity."
Xiao Lan said softly: "Knowing you is really the greatest misfortune in her life."
He remembered that at that time, his mother's health was not well, and she was hospitalized once.
It was at that time that he tried to cook, but he burned his hands and entered the world of descent for the first time.
Later, his mother accompany him to struggle in a difficult life, and she tried her best to teach him that only this kind of exhaustion will cause the condition to deteriorate faster and faster, and finally let it go.
Without Xiao Chengyan, without Xiao Lan herself, Wen Qi would probably live a happy and smooth life, even if she was terminally ill, she could leave with the care of her family.
Perhaps even herself is part of her misfortune. Xiao Lan thought.
Xiao Chengyan's voice interrupted Xiao Lan's thoughts: "Silly son, you want to save her. But can you do it?"
"If you can't cure her disease, you can't solve the debt, and even you can't treat me who created this situation."
"Aren't you reconciled?"
Xiao Lan turned to look at him: "Don't provoke me, where are you? What is the situation of your disappearance?"
Xiao Chengyan pointed to the magma rolling around him, and there was something in his smile: "I am dead, and the body is dissolved in this lava pool. Talking to you is just a little bit of consciousness left by me, even if you want to kill me. There is no more scum from the bones and ashes."
This time Xiao Lan was really shocked.
Although Cheng Wenyi told the news of Xiao Chengyan's death, Xiao Lan always felt that he was holding big moves in the dark.
The result is now...
Xiao Chengyan, really dead
