"...That's it."
Without any intention of hiding anything, Duan Qing, with a low tone, then roughly recounted everything he experienced that night. The time that passed by like the hot wind in summer also flew away with the two women who were fascinated by what they heard.
Between the intertwined air of the square and the street, it finally turned into a series of surprises and sighs: "No wonder that Chu Lingbing has been looking anxious since that day. It turns out that she witnessed your mental problem with her own eyes."
…”
"I'm in good spirits and don't have any problems." Duan Qing interrupted the whispering words: "I just didn't have a good rest, and I was too aggressive, so I was taken advantage of by the system."
"Which time did you not make a risky move without saying anything?" Whispering Liushang condemned Duan Qing with eyes like scimitars: "From the beginning of the game activity to the later Cruxide, and then again
Now that you have retired inexplicably and come back three years later...what are you doing that is not taking a risk?"
"Is there anything you don't worry about?"
Her joking eyes gradually turned serious, and she stretched out a hand to touch the other person's face. The fingertip that just touched the skin was quickly withdrawn as if it was an electric shock, as if she had never done anything similar before:
"Damn it, if I had to interfere with the new president of Wings of Freedom that night, I should have been the one to rescue you in the end..."
"With all due respect, Ling Bing has done a great job." Pointing behind him, Duan Qing gestured in the direction they came from before: "She has experienced the great changes in the Sky City.
, and suffered from the torture of the virtual system, she is really an admirable woman who can persist in her faith until now."
"Of course I know. After all, I have fought against her many times in the past few months... hum."
After looking up and down Duan Qing's face, he muttered involuntarily: "Obviously I was the one who came here first, and it was obviously me who secretly helped you more, but in the end, you ended up hanging out with that wild woman.
...What? Do you have any objections?"
"No, no." Facing the scrutinizing gaze from the other party, Duan Qing hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for the arrangements and arrangements outside the Duan family court that day.
Where is the helping hand? Without you, the rescue operation might not be possible."
"What the hell are you two talking about!"
The voice belonging to Qian Zhihe then echoed loudly around Duan Qing and Xu Yu Liuzhang, accompanied by the inexplicable and unwilling expression belonging to the red-haired girl: "What is it inside and outside the court?
Three years ago and three years later...why can’t I understand?”
"Didn't you mention his mental problem just now? Shouldn't that be what you are most concerned about now?" The unwillingness on his face turned into anxiety. Qian Zhihe then pulled Duan Qing's arm: "You, you...
…How do you feel now? Do you still feel any discomfort?”
"No, no, of course not." After comforting the other party with a smile, Duan Qing reached out and touched the red-haired girl's head: "Well, it's not so much that it's not, it's more that I've been in a coma for three days.
If there is really any danger, this time should have passed... Hey! Hey, hey! What's wrong with you, don't cry?"
"Look, look, you said you can reassure us."
Looking at the other party's helpless appearance around the weeping little girl, Whispering Liushang on the side shook his head with a funny look on his face: "She must have really confirmed your identity that night, Wan
If I lose you again because of this incident."
"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."
Duan Qing straightened up helplessly and gave up trying to comfort him and replied with a wry smile: "It's not my fault this time because I was too trusting and knew that I had lost my sword due to excessive mental exhaustion.
Although he has no ability, he still keeps trying to save him..."
"It's good that you know. Remember not to be brave in the future." Xu Yu Liushang also showed a smile: "If you continue to think about saving those NPCs, it will be our turn to save you next time."
"I'm still very confident in my mental strength. Don't you think I can successfully change my profession now and become a qualified magician?" Duan Qing, who was comforting the red-haired boy, then also made a gesture.
Strong posture: "This time it was just an accident and coincidence. The final result seems to be very good. The only regret is"
"Maybe I haven't really seen what the so-called legend of the Imperial City is like." He scratched the back of his head: "That must be a huge epic task. If it can be completed successfully, the final result will be perfect.
."
"You still think about things that are more important than life."
Slapping the opponent on the shoulder, Xu Yu Liushang said angrily: "Next time something like this happens again, remember to tell us first. Even if you don't care about your own life, at least we can help you share the burden."
"We will also help you continue to investigate the prophecy." Her voice paused for a moment, and then she said in a low voice: "Of course, we will also keep it secret about you and Chu Lingbing being in another world.
of."
"I'm afraid there are quite a few people who know about the other world." Images of several characters quickly flashed through his mind, and Duan Qing sighed involuntarily: "If this world is allowed to continue to develop, this world will
The secret may no longer be a secret..."
"This is none of our business, dear Mr. Magician." He opened the distance slightly, and finally restored his mature and charming smile: "We are only responsible for protecting yourself now. As for
What will happen to the remaining NPCs or players?”
"That's another question."
She smiled and looked at Duan Qing with a bit of amusement in her eyes. Duan Qing, who understood what the blue-haired swordswoman meant, also turned his gaze to Qian Zhi, who had already stopped crying.
In the direction of the crane, what he got was a big eye roll: "No matter what, I don't care! You are a patient now, and the patient should obey the arrangements of us caregivers."
"Nurse? Do you think you are a nurse in the hospital?" Duan Qing's eyes rolled back and forth, and there was a sense of humor in Duan Qing's tone: "And aren't we not in the same team? We even have an employment relationship.
We can’t even talk about it now…”
"So, so what? Now we are Party A!"
Pointing to the square in front of him, Qianzhihe raised his cute pointed chin with a stubborn look: "And you, a magician who calls himself a magician, after this magic council is built, the first thing I have to do is
One thing is to register you, a magician who always likes to mess up, on the parliament's key care list!"
"Ah ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha ha." So Duan Qing could only let out a few embarrassing laughs: "Well, when you say that, I don't really want to start this project right away... It's so late anyway.
, why don’t we take a break first?”
"……All right."
Looking left and right at the almost evening sky, the red-haired girl nodded helplessly. She just wanted to walk away but then suddenly turned back. At the same time, she turned back with her warning face.
Face: "But you are not allowed to walk away, not even a step! No matter what happens to Sister Lingbing in the future, Sister Liushang and I have decided to keep an eye on you from now on!"
"You are not allowed to go away."
After exchanging a look with Wu Yu Liushang on the other side, she then walked slowly towards the direction of the open space. While directing the slow progress of the project in the open space, she shouted something to several workers around her.
Duan Qing shook his head with a funny face. Duan Qing, who was relieved, slowly withdrew his eyes following him. He looked at each other with Xu Yu Liushang, who was also smiling, and then
He regained the relaxed look on his face and said, "Then... let's talk about some other topics."
"I don't have much time, and now comes the most critical moment." Xu Yu Liushang walked to Duan Qing and lowered his voice: "So we still use the old rules to tell me what you found?"
"NPCs in the free world should have special identity relationships, or... special architectural concepts." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "I need further investigation into specific things, although with my current physical condition, I don't think I can
It may be a little difficult to do this, but... I will try to figure out what the world is doing."
"Has the hypothesis of virtual life really become a reality?" There was a slight fluctuation in the whispering voice: "That old thief Christo succeeded? He did something that virtual technology could not even imagine twenty years ago?
"
"I feel that I am not the first person to discover this secret, and I am not the one who was deliberately used as an experiment by the system of this world."
Looking up at the dim sky above his head, Duan Qing sighed and said: "I am more inclined to regard what happened this time as the result of accidental occurrence, but the process of producing this result is not accidental. My intention
The sword, the synchronization with the other world, the existence of the optical brain, the so-called fate system...the combination of these factors is simply a feast."
"Fortunately, Chu Lingbing is here, otherwise things might be really bad this time." Xu Yu Liushang said fearfully: "If something happens to you because you forcibly broke into the Duan family's virtual system, I will
I will regret it for the rest of my life.”
"Don't worry, everything has its own destiny." Duan Qing's eyes became a little colder: "I believe that nothing will happen to me, because this is what they owe me. If God wants me to fail in this matter,
Then I can only lament the injustice he has done to me."
"The Duan family probably has no time to take care of our affairs now. Everything is under the control of the plan." He put his hands close to the chest of the gray-robed man, and nestled in the other man's arms, whispering and replied in a low voice: "You
The temporary course for you has ended, let’s look at mine next.”
"...Although I still don't like your behavior of being like a stone and a stone, I still wish you success."
"This is for your own good. It can at least get you out of this predicament, right?"
"What if I'm like this now? What if I'm released? Do I have to survive in the game world?"
"There is no need to emphasize this matter in a roundabout way. I will spend more time in this world to keep an eye on you. After my plan is successful, I can ask you that question openly."
"I know what you want to ask, but I don't know the answer."
The two embracing figures slowly separated. Duan Qing shook his head with a smile on his face: "I can only tell you one name, is that enough?"
"That's enough." Whispering blue hair fluttered in the air: "Don't underestimate my power. After all, the Lou family was once one of the families that could stand on equal footing with your Duan family."
"That is also the Lou family, not you who have run away from home." Pushing the other party's body away, Duan Qing smiled nonchalantly: "When you begged your father to propose marriage to the Duan family, didn't he end up being in the way?
Face didn’t agree, right?”
"Stop talking, I get angry when you talk about it." Xu Yu Liushang wrinkled his nose: "If it weren't for the Chu family who claimed to be a family friend at that time, and he occupied the quota... hmph."
"She wins this game." She took two steps back, and her figure gradually became blurry: "But wait, I won't take advantage of that woman Chu Lingbing, how can she get the chance to turn around?
Well!"
"Look at your sad look." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "Although I really want to support you, I have to remind you that her game usage ratio during this period is obviously higher than yours.
It’s more advantageous to come.”
"For a guy who imitates me and runs away from home, just give her some advantage for a while." The offline figure in the whisper became more and more blurred: "Of course, in order to avoid certain possibilities, I still have to send someone
Someone come over and keep a lookout."
"That person will definitely be a surprise for you."
Swish.
A faint white light then rose in the sky outside the street, and the last whisper of the message echoed in the sky around Duan Qing. After realizing something, he then shook himself with a look of sadness on his face.
He turned his head and finally turned around to meet the jumping figure of the red-haired Thousand-Zhihe Crane who was gradually approaching: "Have the arrangements been completed?"
"Of course, they will all be your subordinates from now on."
Pointing to the backs of the workers who were leaving, Qianzhihe replied nonchalantly: "I believe in your vision. I will leave it to you to decide how to build this Mage Council in the future."
"Is it really appropriate to delegate power like this?" Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "And what are you going to do? Are you going to stand aside and watch?"
"I want to monitor you."
Putting away the indifferent expression he showed when facing outsiders, Qian Zhihe waved his staff and said with a righteous expression, and then turned his playful eyes to the right of the two people.
On the side, on the outline of a dilapidated building not far from them: "Of course, if you have time"
"It's also good to take a look at the library next door."
