After returning to the player's room, Xiao Lan felt that her whole body was covered with sea water.
The semi-dry sea water sticks the clothes to the body, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, they have now returned to a safe place. Naturally, they don't need to endure this discomfort.
Xiao Lan rushed into the bathroom and took a shower.
The warm water enveloped the body, washed away the stains on his body, and also washed away the fatigue caused by battles.
After coming out, Xiao Lan was not in a hurry to train.
The two of them returned to the real world first, and slightly relaxed their tight nerves.
Back to the real home.
Xiao Lan turned on the TV casually, and while watching the news, she ordered takeout on the app.
This special service of takeaway is a rare thing that is only available in the real world. How can you not experience it when you come back.
"Recently, there have been many disappearances. The police remind citizens to avoid going out alone and try to avoid going out late at night. If you see a suspicious person, please call a report..."
Xiao Lan's attention was attracted by the news.
He changed several news stations and read online news, almost all of which mentioned a large number of recent disappearances.
Many disappearances occurred not only in this city and the whole country, but also in other parts of the world. For a while, the whole world became panic, and everyone wondered what happened.
The more Xiao Lan watched, the more frowning her brows became. Shouldn't such a big movement have something to do with coming to the world
Could it be that the plan to make the descending world cover all mankind has begun
Luo also saw the news, he suggested: "It's better to go out and have a look"
Xiao Lan thought about it for a while.
It was already evening at this time.
As soon as the two went out, Xiao Lan noticed something wrong next door.
Uncle Zhang's vegetable field was deserted, and Tie Hanhan lay boringly in the vegetable field, looking listless, and didn't even bite his slippers.
Xiao Lan had a bad hunch in her heart. Could it be that Uncle Zhang had something wrong
He walked quickly to the yard next door.
"Wow~" Tie Hanhan saw an acquaintance, stood up and wagged his tail, excited with rare excitement.
Xiao Lan touched Tiehanhan's dog's head, and shouted at the unlit room: "Grandpa Zhang?"
There is no response from the room.
When Xiao Lan wanted to try again, Uncle Zhang's voice came from a distance behind her: "Xiao Xiao, tip, are you back?"
Xiao Lan turned her head, just in time to see Uncle Zhang getting off a luxury car.
He is almost as different as before.
The former Uncle Zhang wore slippers, vest and big pants all day long, squatting in the vegetable field with a rough look.
Now he is in a suit and leather shoes, his hair is neatly combed, and his look is a bit tired, but he still looks majestic and calm.
Xiao Lan was a little surprised: "Grandpa Zhang, what are you?"
Uncle Zhang motioned to the driver to stop and walked over with a helpless smile: "Do you know the recent disappearance? My son also disappeared last night, and the company can't run without no one. I have to take over again temporarily."
Xiao Lan asked: "Has your son's affairs made any progress?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head: "No, he disappeared when he was driving off work by himself. The car is still there, but the person is gone. I have used many methods, but still can't find any clues, he just disappeared out of thin air. Same."
Xiao Lan said, "I'm sorry."
At the same time, he had an ominous premonition in his heart—
Such a disappearance is too similar to the method of coming to the world.
Uncle Zhang waved his hand: "You don't need to apologize, although I don't know what happened, but the more this is the time, the more you can't panic."
"Tian Yi is an old man who was born when I was forty years old, but he is very competitive. He has not been a fragile person since he was a child. I believe he can solve the problems he faces."
Even so, he sighed: "Unfortunately, my old father can only help him manage the company, but he can't help much..."
Xiao Lan thought for a while and said to him: "If your son comes back suddenly one day, you can ask him to come to me, we can play games together and relax."
Uncle Zhang was a little puzzled: "Thank you, but Tianyi doesn't play..."
Suddenly, he met Xiao Lan's eyes.
Those eyes were full of seriousness, and Uncle Zhang suddenly understood that Xiao Lan was not comforting herself.
He seemed to be suggesting something, but for some reason he couldn't explain it clearly.
Xiao Lan also thought that he didn't have much time in reality, and time was unstable. In order to avoid any accidents, he added: "If I'm not at home, you can also contact Cheng Wenyi, remember to be as soon as possible."
Uncle Zhang seemed to see a little hope, he nodded: "Okay, thank you."
—
After bidding farewell to Uncle Zhang, Xiao Lan returned home.
Luo showed him the business card that had been left by Wenyi before.
Xiao Lan dialed the phone.
It was Cheng Wenyi who answered the phone.
His tone is always lazy and arrogant: "Xiao Lan? What can I do for you?"
Xiao Lan didn't really want to find out how Cheng Wenyi knew his home phone number. He briefly told Cheng Wenyi about Uncle Zhang's house.
"Brother Tianyi..." Cheng Wenyi's tone became solemn, "Don't worry, I will send someone to pay attention."
"You don't have much time to stay in reality. Why don't you leave it to me. Samsara has a special department to handle the matter of helping low-level players. Once he appears, I can take him over directly."
Xiao Lan said, "Thanks, I owe you a favor."
Written One: "No, Brother Tianyi is not a few years older than me. Although he is a generation older, we grew up together and we have a good relationship. This thank you should be me telling you."
After solving the problem of Uncle Zhang, Xiao Lan talked about another thing: "Perhaps soon, we will have a chance to cooperate."
Written one: "Oh? So fast? You are confident enough. I hope you have a better chance of winning, otherwise I won't use the whole cycle to bet with you."
Xiao Lan chuckled, "Don't worry, it's not now, but I will try my best as soon as possible."
Cheng Wenyi's voice came: "Humph, wait and see."
—
After hanging up the phone, the two went out together.
The streets are obviously depressed a lot.
The people coming and going on the street are walking in a hurry, everyone's expression is quite nervous, almost no one is alone.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone was rushing back even more hastily.
They came to a restaurant they had visited before.
The number of guests in the restaurant is obviously less than half.
A popular restaurant that used to have long queues, now it's a regular meal, but it's still not full.
It seems to be courageous, the guests in the restaurant are also multi-person dinners, and there are very few people like them with only two people.
After ordering, Xiao Lan and Luo were eating while paying attention to the surrounding movement.
Due to the rapid development of physique, as long as Xiao Lan is willing, he can hear the conversation in almost the entire restaurant.
"What do you think of the recent events?"
"I think some transnational criminal group is making big moves, otherwise the whole world would have something wrong."
"No, I think it's a certain country's tactics against us. Otherwise, how come we have the most troubles here?"
"Actually... I don't think it's necessarily a human being. How can human beings make so many missing without being caught."
"You mean... a ghost?"
"Hey... Don't be scary."
"No, no, no, I'm not talking about ghosts, I'm talking about aliens."
"what?"
"Alien?"
"Yeah, maybe aliens are arresting people on earth for experiments? I tell you that there are many scientific studies that show that aliens really exist. I will show you..."
"Cut~ You are the most boring one."
"Aliens are too nonsense."
Xiao Lan and Luo couldn't help but glance at each other.
Who knows, the most absurd conclusion is actually the one closest to the truth.
But at the same time, another thought appeared in their hearts—
time is limited.
—
After dinner, the two returned home.
After taking a shower, Xiao Lan changed into a comfortable nightgown and walked out of the bathroom.
Luo had already prepared black tea for him, just like every time before.
Xiao Lan sat expertly on the sofa drinking tea, while allowing Luo to take his towel and wipe his hair.
Such scenes often happen, and they seem to have become a daily routine between the two.
The aroma of black tea and Luo's gentle strength made Xiao Lan a little sleepy.
Aware of his distress, Luo lightly pressed Xiao Lan's shoulders, letting his head rest on his lap.
Xiao Lan lay down on Luo's lap with strength, with her back facing him to wipe her hair, and at the same time asked softly: "He...what will happen next?"
Xiao Lan didn't mention who "he" was, but they both knew tacitly that this was referring to the Lord who came to the world.
Luo: "I will probably find a way to implement his previous vision."
Xiao Lan was a little worried: "Will he find you?"
Luo's hand rubbing his hair kept moving: "He still can't find me in a short time. After all, there are so many games, and he can't monitor all the game fields anytime and anywhere. The probability of just hitting his patrol like this time is actually Very small."
Xiao Lan thought for a while: "Then he will send contract players to search in the game, just like before."
Luo said: "Yes, according to what I know about him, there will be a large number of contract players in the game field."
Xiao Lan frowned slightly and said nothing.
The situation seems to be going in a bad direction.
Luo smiled: "Are you worried about me, sir?"
Xiao Lan didn't cover up: "Of course. Now I should have the strength to fight the contract, but my combat experience may not be as good as those players who have been in the descending world for many years. If you face the contract players, the outcome is still unpredictable. "
Not to mention the fact that Luo and Xiao Chengyan didn't take down the guy who was against the Domination. Xiao Lan didn't think that he could deal with him with Luo.
Xiao Lan sighed silently in her heart, it seemed that the speed of her growth still couldn't keep up with the speed of things changing.
Luo stopped wiping his hair: "Don't embarrass yourself too much, don't worry, I will be fine."
Xiao Lan let out a soft "um".
The two stopped talking, and Luo continued to wipe his hair.
There was silence in the room, only the slight rustle of towels and hair rubbing.
Xiao Lan's breathing gradually calmed down, surrounded by the most trusted person, surrounded by a stable environment, so he fell into a deep sleep unsuspectingly.
Luo put down the towel in his hand and touched Xiao Lan's hair almost dry.
He gently stretched out his hand and stroked Xiao Lan's cheek.
It started with the same warm body temperature as him, with the soft texture unique to human skin.
"Sir." Luo called out softly.
The sleeping Xiao Lan did not respond, and still slept very peacefully. It seemed that he would only sleep so deeply by Luo's side.
Luo's mouth curled up, stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Lan up with gentle force, and walked steadily to the bedroom all the way.
After gently putting Xiao Lan on the bed, Luo did not withdraw as usual.
Luo also lay on the bed this time, stretched out his arms around Xiao Lan, and lay down beside him in a hug.
Although non-humans do not need sleep, it is not important.
Luo closed his eyes like Xiao Lan.
—
I don't know how long it took.
Luo felt as if he had fallen into a very strange state.
He saw Xiao Lan smiling at him.
But his consciousness is very clear, Xiao Lan should be lying beside him sleeping.
Xiao Lan is wearing a loose white bathrobe.
The belt of the bathrobe was not fastened, revealing his figure with beautiful texture lines, and even if he looked down a little further, he could still vaguely see the abdominal muscles and the mermaid line.
Xiao Lan opened her arms to him, her lips opened and closed slightly, calling him: "Luo."
This word is the beginning of all the connections between them, and it is also the name that will be with him for a lifetime in the future.
With just one word, Luo felt that his soul was about to boil.
An impulse and joy rose from his heart.
He stepped forward, reaching out his hand to give him a fiery hug.
Maybe, there is something else...
But he saw his raised arm.
The arm was full of cracks, and the human skin became mottled, like the ugliest defective product in the world.
Luo's heart was suddenly startled.
He looked up at Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan still smiled at him, opened her arms, as if waiting for a hug.
However, behind Xiao Lan, a white spike was piercing his vest suddenly, but he didn't notice it.
Panic and anxiety surged in Luo's heart.
He wanted to pull Xiao Lan behind him for protection, and wanted to tell him that there was danger behind him.
But at this moment, he couldn't make any sound, and even his arm was gradually disintegrating into pieces. Not only was he unable to protect, he couldn't even grab the opponent.
He can do nothing.
He just watched as the white spike penetrated Xiao Lan's chest.
The blood splashed like a slow motion picture.
The smile on Xiao Lan's face disappeared, his eyes were round and his arms were still stretched, but his body fell backwards like a doll that had lost his control.
Behind Xiao Lan was a bottomless white abyss.
He just fell, fell, fell... little by little he disappeared into Luo's sight.
In the end there was nothing left.
Only a dazzling white remains in the whole world.
—
Luo suddenly opened his eyes.
What caught the eye was the familiar ceiling, and the soft mattress under her body, Xiao Lan still sleeping peacefully in her arms.
The reality is as calm as ever, and everything just now seemed like an illusion.
Is it a dream...
A hint of surprise appeared in Luo's heart.
Does he dream now too
He reached out and touched his core, and there seemed to be a sharp pain just now.
The pain was more severe than when he was sneak attacked with the core before the master.
Luo looked at Xiao Lan's sleeping face, and slightly forced the person into his arms.
He gently kissed the top of Xiao Lan's head.
A thought flashed through his mind-no matter what, no matter what the price, he wouldn't let this person have an accident.
