"I don't belong anymore..."
Chen Dahai's last murmur appeared in Chen An's mind. If he could, his lips would be tightly pursed at this moment, his face would be pale and his pupils would shrink.
But along the way, he has experienced so many things, just like Chen An's own feelings before the Ruandu incident...
He gradually became a little... numb.
Like a puppet of fate, moving forward aimlessly and haphazardly.
At this moment, Chen An's thoughts were in a daze. He stared blankly at himself and the other three people "walking" deep into the woods.
Cold and damp, gray mist drifting, these familiar scenery could not bring him any excitement at the moment.
Because at this moment, he is just a "spirit body", a spiritual body with consciousness.
The physical body...has long since left here.
...
...
As the group left the story world and returned to Ebony Town, Chen An found that the townspeople looked at him and others differently.
"Is it because we passed the test of Happy Town?"
Chen An was slightly surprised. He looked at the townspeople next to him who were dressed like NPCs in the "Western Fantasy Adventure Game". He looked at them with a smile and friendly face.
"Congratulations."
A woman with some freckles on her face raised her eyebrows slightly. She came to Chen An's side and whispered softly: "Congratulations, you have passed the level."
"Well, thank you."
Chen An felt a little confused.
"Everyone." At this moment, Tuzi Moore spoke. He looked at everyone with a smile and said loudly: "The Skull Hunter Tavern is where we met. After so much, our third game It’s over now, why not go to the tavern to relax?”
It's almost time to part ways.
Chen An's heart sank slightly, his eyes flickered slightly, and a slight sense of sadness filled his heart.
Although there is not much cooperation in Happy Town, as this group of "more reliable partners in the story world since I became a player", I still feel a little bit reluctant to let go.
"Amitabha, everything you see is emptiness."
Gu Laiyin said the Buddha's name, with a gentle face and clasped hands, still looking like a smiling monk.
Luo Qi shook her head, her red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, she hesitated for another two seconds, and finally said coldly: "Yes."
The four of them came to the Skull Hunter Tavern. When they left, there were five of them, and when they came back, there were four of them.
Chen An sighed slightly and glanced in the direction of Happy Town. Ling Qinglin probably wouldn't be able to get out.
He chose to kill Ling Anruo because he was alone, and he chose not to let other teammates give up hope of survival because of him.
He chose to stay in the story world and accepted the falsehood, because... he was alone, just alone.
He saw clearly the cowardice and incompetence in his heart, and chose to end everything and return to "happiness".
Chen An looked at the people in the tavern. These drinkers were laughing or scolding as usual. The smell of alcohol and sweat around them made him feel uncomfortable.
The four of them came to the spot where they had originally gathered and sat down as they did at the beginning.
"What to drink?" Tuzi Moore looked at everyone and asked.
But Chen An was a little absent-minded. He could say that Ling Qinglin was cowardly, but he finally chose to escape... But who is not like this?
Alas, if you keep cutting, it will still become messy.
Suddenly noticing Tu Zi's words, Chen An subconsciously said: "Light beer."
Then, he said: "Don't be obsessed with scented powder."
etc?
Speaking of this, Chen An thought of John again, this "old buddy" who survived the Ruandu incident.
John escaped from Soft City in advance and avoided Chen Quan's conspiracy, but unexpectedly became the owner of this tavern and experienced some strange inheritances.
Thinking of this, Chen An couldn't help but get up and follow Tuzi Moore's footsteps to the bar.
"John is not dead anymore."
Muttering in his heart, Chen An walked to the bar. Fortunately, he saw the strong man with prosthetic legs and wearing a blue and white sailor T-shirt.
Bearded John.
John's face was obviously happy when he saw Chen An, but Chen An noticed that John's face was a little embarrassed. The man looked at Tu Zi and then at Chen An, as if he had something to say that was not easy to say in front of outsiders.
Waiting quietly for Tuzi to finish buying the beer, Chen An said with a smile: "Uncle Tuzi, this is my old friend, let me have a few words with him."
Tuzi nodded and said, "I'll go back first."
...
...
"Can you still go back?"
Chen An and everyone's "spirits" went deeper and further, and he clearly looked at the misty range of the surrounding misty forest. The different shapes of the cold, damp soil and white mist indicated how far they had traveled. Far...
It’s at least over two thousand meters now!
In the original setting of "Happy Town", the misty forest two kilometers away was a restricted area for humans.
But what surprised Chen An was that there weren't any weirdos here. There were no mature black-haired weirdos, and there were no traces of human foxes or tree weirdos.
After arriving two thousand meters away, the forest became gloomier in a trance. The light here was difficult to penetrate through the dense canopy of trees. It was obviously daytime, but it still felt like night.
They were still walking, not knowing how long they would go.
Chen An didn't know what would happen after they reached the end, and it was difficult to know. It might be the end of life, or it might be something more thrilling and terrifying.
...
...
"Master An." John was busy in the wine barrels behind for a while. Then when he saw Tu Zi leaving, he looked at Chen An with a sigh of relief and whispered: "You are... passing the third A game?”
Chen An nodded slightly, took the light beer pushed by John, and looked down. There was no light green powder in the yellow-white foam.
After taking a sip, he said: "Luckily, one of the five people sacrificed... At least, it's over after the level is cleared."
Seeing this, John couldn't help but take a closer look at Chen An.
During this time, he was working as a bar owner to make a living, and he heard a lot about Ebony Town and Happy Town. There were also some "outsiders" taking a rest in Ebony Town, staying briefly, replenishing supplies, etc.
Compared with when Chen An first came, John now knows a lot that he didn't know at the time.
John swallowed and tried to calm his breathing.
Seeing his appearance, Chen An couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?"
John shook his head, leaned down, looked at Chen An with a pair of slightly frightened and confused eyes, and whispered:
"Master An, as far as I know, no one has actually passed this game... and..."
John's voice became smaller and smaller, which made Chen An get closer.
"There are four story worlds near Ebony Town, namely 'Happy Town', 'Warm Town', 'Ordinary Town' and 'Inverted Pyramid'."
John's voice became increasingly shaky.
"Master An, during...the time you went to the story world, I received an outsider. A group of five of them went to the 'Ordinary Town'..."
"Three days ago, all five of them came back. They said they passed the test of the story world."
"I still remember that they were three men and two women, all of whom were of distinguished status... Some were young masters from Funong, and some were nobles from Elt... But three days ago, they said that after they cleared the game..."
"But they all chose."
"Stay in Ebony Town and live forever."
Speaking of this, Chen An noticed that John was looking at him more and more...strangely.
It was a bit frightening, a bit awe-inspiring, a bit entangled, and a bit strange.
Listening to John's words, Chen An couldn't help but have a strange thought in his mind.
He swallowed secretly.
Are things in Happy Town not over yet?
But they did leave...
However, there are actually four story worlds... They are probably divided through the misty forest, and the "tree" I met at that time was in charge of only the "Happy Town" area.
"You mean...those players who cleared the level from 'Ordinary Town' chose to stay in Ebony Town..."
Chen An looked at John and whispered: "This makes me feel a bit like... choosing to be ordinary?"
Like the aftereffects of the story world.
John nodded, as if he was relieved after listening to Chen An's words.
He smiled bitterly:
"Master An, to be honest, old John, you really scared me when you said you had cleared the level."
"Because those five people... I always feel that after they 'cleared the customs', they seemed to be different people. There was a girl among them. She was enthusiastic when we first met, and when we met for the second time, she was gentle and like a good person. Lady..."
"But looking at you now, you should have really passed the level."
Hearing John's words, Chen An also breathed a sigh of relief.
Also... Thinking about Luo Qi, Gu Laiying and Tuzi Moore, there are no changes in their personalities.
But the story world near Ebony Town is really scary...
...
In order not to keep Tu Zi and others waiting too long, Chen An temporarily agreed with John to talk later and returned to the table with everyone's drinks.
Tu Zi and Gu Laiyin seemed to be talking about something. When they saw Chen An coming back, they all looked at him.
"Chen An, we just had a discussion." Tuzi Moore looked at Chen An with a smile and said, "You know everything about Happy Town, right?"
"Ah?" Chen An was slightly startled, what do you know? Are you referring to the original rules and experiences?
"Probably." Chen An scratched his head.
Tuzi Moore nodded and looked at Gu Laiyin beside him.
Luo Qi, on the other hand, stood up, stretched, and then sat down again.
On the brown sofa, she was originally sitting on the far left, and Chen An was on the far right.
Now, she sat next to Chen An.
"Three months." Tuzi Moore raised three fingers, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "Gu Laiyin and I will go back to the family, take out the sealed artifacts of our respective families, and make some preparations..."
"Luo Qi will reach her 'eighth stage' and become a tribute."
"Chen An, we don't know your situation...but in short, we will see you again in three months at the Paradise Ceremony."
Chen An blinked.
What are you... talking about?
He suddenly felt that he was out of tune with this world.
Suddenly, Chen An felt a little soft. He lowered his head slightly and found that Luo Qi suddenly "fell" in his arms. The cold body exuded a touch of warmth, and a quiet fragrance spread to him from the tips of her hair. of the nasal cavity.
"The eighth stage requires returning from ruthlessness to affection..." Luo Qi clung to Chen An's ear, her red lips opened slightly, her white teeth gently bit Chen An's earlobe, and said: "Time... It’s not enough, let’s combine for the blissful festival.”
Tuzi Moore looked at Luo Qi's posture, and the corners of his smile curved into a more wanton arc.
His originally honest and trustworthy face now showed a hint of ferocity.
"All for the celebration of bliss, praise, the Hanged Lord." Tuzi Moore said.
Gu Laiyin clasped his hands together, a slightly strange look on his gentle face.
"Amitabha, all forms you see are empty... Praise be to my Lord, Lord who hangs upside down."
Chen An's ears were itching slightly, and he heard Luo Qi's slightly angry voice.
"Ann, our child will become a vessel for the Lord...I..."
Chen An felt Luo Qi's body trembling slightly, as if she thought of something that made her extremely excited.
"It is our honor to praise the Hanged Lord." Luo Qi's voice penetrated Chen An's ears.
at the same time.
The surrounding drinkers all stood up and looked at Chen An and others with envy in their brows.
And Chen An is...
His face is extremely wonderful, and his heart is even more wonderful.
Although I don't know what happened...but something must have happened that I don't know about.
And now, it seems that I...
It's like falling into a strange lair...
The Hanged Lord...which one are they talking about? Is it the false "monster" path, or the real "idiot" path?
But now...we need to figure out the situation...
John...didn't lie to himself...
But I know very well...I must still be myself...
But these "people" regard themselves as "same kind"...
Suddenly, Luo Qi supported the sofa with her arms, and her face changed from the side of Chen An's head to facing Chen An's face.
Her cold face turned a little rosy at this moment, and her eyes blinked slightly, seeming to look at Chen An with some doubts.
Gu Laiyin and Tuzi on the side suddenly fell silent.
They all stood up and looked at Chen An.
Chen An shouldn't be unresponsive.
so,
Chen An closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of enthusiasm.
"Praise be to the Hanged Lord."
"Luo Qi, I agree."
