A hollow choking sound echoed in the dark hall. It was the sound of metal friction made by the shield guard Put when he walked. Although it was slightly harsh, it sounded to Xinyu like he was being protected.
She felt safe. She hugged the little girl's sword tightly, rested her chin on the hilt, and silently walked side by side with Putt, one tall and one short, in the hall full of bookshelves.
According to Putt, there was a secret passage in this building that could lead to the Arcane Hall, and Xinyu thought that Palin might go to the Arcane Hall, so she chose this secret passage without hesitation.
The atmosphere seemed a little dull. Xinyu brewed some words in her heart, then raised her head and whispered: "Put, just now... didn't I say I wanted to tell you a story just now?"
Put nodded, and the metal armor made a crisp sound when it collided.
"Actually...actually..." She frowned and hesitated a little, but finally mustered up the courage to say it: "Actually...Xinyu had a wish before playing this game. This is Xinyu's biggest wish.
.”
"Wish?" Put stopped and said in a slightly hollow metallic voice: "This is a peculiar word. To a certain extent, it represents the wishes of mortals!"
As it spoke, it paused and lowered its head, "I say this perhaps because I haven't truly experienced the subtle changes in mood of mortals."
"Put?" Xinyu tilted her head and asked in a small voice.
Put opened his big metal mouth and smiled and said: "It's nothing, you can continue!"
"Well..." Xinyu nodded and continued: "Because of Xinyu's wish, Xinyu got to know sister. Sister gave Xinyu the greatest help when Xinyu was in the most difficult time, and... and sister also let her
Xinyu came to this game to teach Xinyu to become a professional player...Although, although Xinyu is very stupid and has never been able to learn those things,...but Xinyu will never forget how good my sister is to Xinyu!"
Put turned his head as he walked and looked at Xinyu silently. The black metal eyes seemed to have the flame of his soul.
"So Xinyu has a second wish. Even if she has to sacrifice everything, she must repay sister's kindness to Xinyu!" Xinyu nodded softly as she spoke, with firm color in her beautiful black eyes.
He exerted force on his arms, but suddenly felt the weight of the sword in his arms. At this time, his heart trembled slightly, and then he sighed softly.
"So Xinyu didn't want to rely on her sister for everything, and she didn't want to drag her down with everything. Xinyu slowly learned in the game. Finally, Xinyu met another group of sisters and brothers. They treated Xinyu well and they could encourage her silently.
Xinyu can comfort Xinyu quietly, and regard Xinyu as the best partner and best friend. They believe in Xinyu as they believe in themselves... This makes Xinyu very touched. Xinyu wants to make herself become
A useful person, let your abilities be worthy of the trust of your brothers and sisters!" Her tone became excited and she spoke word by word.
"So Xinyu has a third wish. Xinyu wants everyone to be well and not be harmed in any way! Xinyu wants Sister Sophia and the others to become good friends with Sister Xingyao... Pute, Xinyu must be
You must be very greedy!" Xinyu lowered her head and said in a low voice.
"Xinyu's wish made Putt know that Xinyu is a kind little girl!" Putt also answered word for word.
"Really?...Thank you, Put! But...But, the truth is not what Xinyu imagined. That day, Xinyu...Xinyu knew from the carrier pigeon sent by her sister...I knew...
..." Her voice choked up and gradually became weaker.
Putt didn't say anything, the two 'people' just walked in silence, and the sound of metal rubbing against the ground echoed in the empty space.
"I know..." After a brief silence, Xinyu raised her head slightly, and her voice also raised a little bit, "I know, sister, it turns out there is a group of enemies, and her enemies have a common name.
, called... called - shining gold coins! And they... are also Xinyuxin's brothers and sisters..."
"Sister wants Xinyu to be... a spy..., Xinyu can't avoid it, Xinyu has to agree! That's my sister, Xinyu has no choice!" Xinyu's lips trembled and turned slightly white.
"Why is it like this..." She murmured in a low voice, with a confused look in her eyes. She gently pressed her face against the hilt of the little girl's sword, as if looking for some warmth, and closed her eyes.
, the encouraging smiles of the little girl Sister, Sister Xue, and Sister Keer appeared in front of her eyes. At that moment, she felt a warmth that she had never felt before.
"Why is this like this... They are all good people. They are also Xinyu's best brothers and sisters. They can encourage Xinyu silently, comfort Xinyu quietly, and regard Xinyu as her best partner and best friend.
Friends, they believe in the words of their hearts as they believe in themselves!"
Xinyu raised her head, with tears flashing in her eyes: "At that moment, Sister Sophia would rather die herself than Xinyu, but Xinyu lied to her... But Xinyu had no choice... No..."
She hugged the little girl's sword tightly and said with choked sobs: "At that moment, when Sister Sophia smiled at Xinyu, Xinyu felt so uncomfortable, as if a knife was cutting her!"
Put stopped and said slowly in a hoarse tone with a hint of metal: "Xinyu, there is no choice in this world! Remember, when you are confused, you only need to ask the deepest questions in your heart.
, you will get the answer! The right choice often only exists in the human heart!"
"Really..." Xinyu looked up at Put, her beautiful black diamond-like eyes could no longer find the clarity of the past. Her pupils were slightly dilated, and there were strings of clear words representing repentance and guilt hanging on her face.
tears.
"But Sister Sophia, Sister Ke'er, Sister Xue, Brother Xiao Fen... and everyone else will definitely never forgive Xinyu again, definitely not!" She said while holding the little girl's Jian Qing in her arms.
Sobbing lightly.
Silence, the only thing left in the space was the girl's low-pitched trembling cry——
After a long while, Xinyu raised her head again, and a trace of love and affection flashed in her black gem-like eyes. It was the kind of throbbing that was mixed with fear and weakness, and it was a look of helplessness.
"But Xinyu just wants everyone to be well and not be harmed in any way! Xinyu wants to make Sister Sophia and the others and Sister Xingyao become good friends... Now, this must be impossible!" She raised her head, lips
There was a smile on the side, the most helpless smile.
One, two, crystal pearls slipped from her face...
"Xinyu." Putt stared at Xinyu with his dark eyes, and then said slowly: "Can you tell Putt? What is your first wish?"
Xinyu raised her head with tears in her eyes, her black eyes showing the most confused color. She opened her mouth slightly, gasped gently, then slowly knelt down on the ground, lowered her head and covered her mouth with a pair of delicate hands.
, the confusion in his eyes gradually turned into that kind of extreme pain.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"The weak girl pressed her forehead against the ground and cried as if she had exhausted all her strength...
Put looked silently at the girl kneeling on the ground, standing there motionless, like a statue made of iron and stone.
Xinyu covered her mouth tightly and cried in a low voice. Her sobs echoed in the empty hall, and continued, and continued, until she was exhausted, collapsed on the ground and gasped softly, beautiful
His black eyes stared numbly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, a stone arm stretched out in front of her. Xinyu blinked slightly and discovered that there was a beautiful blue gemstone placed on the stone arm.
"Xinyu, don't cry. Remember what I told you about the last mission that the master gave me!" Putt's hoarse and slightly metallic voice sounded, "The master said to me at that time: 'Putt
, find the person you think is suitable and give this power stone to him!'"
Xinyu wiped away her tears and sat up halfway. She sniffed gently and asked, "Put, what...what do you mean?"
"The person Putt thinks is suitable is you, Xinyu! What Putt wants to tell you is to go west from here, and the information stored there will allow you to understand everything here. Xinyu, take this energy stone,
Just ask your own heart and make your own choice!”
Xinyu's eyes widened, and she looked carefully at Put's dark eyes, as if she saw encouragement and comfort. Her weak body trembled slightly, and she gently twisted the beautiful sapphire.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden D-level mission: King Asuo's Last Order, gaining 2000 experience points, gaining 10 reputation, and receiving an energy stone!"
"Go to the west. That's the reference room of the Arcane Hall. The things there will allow you to understand everything here!" Putt's unique metallic tone rang out again.
"Put...you...are you leaving Xinyu?" Xinyu sensed something sensitively, and she raised her head and asked softly.
Putt nodded, and the armor made a rattling sound when it collided. "Xinyu, there are no monsters nearby. Putt can't follow you now, because Putt can't interfere with your choice... But after you make your choice, Putt
Te will come to you...remember, no matter what, Put is Xinyu's friend!" As it said, it shook its stone arm.
"Yeah." Xinyu nodded gently.
…………
Thirty minutes later, in the Arcane Hall Information Room——
Xinyu held a magic torch given to her by Putt that could be used repeatedly, and carefully flipped through the dusty books among the bookshelves. From time to time, she was choked by the dust and coughed twice, but her young face
But he maintained a focused expression.
"It turns out...it turns out to be like this." After reading the last volume of information, she lowered her head, sighed softly, and spread her clenched right hand upward, revealing the beautiful sapphire.
"The energy stone is... used like this!" She whispered to herself.
"But...but what should Xinyu do? Put asked Xinyu to choose, how should Xinyu choose?" After thinking about it, she sat down slumpedly, extinguished the torch in her hand, and the surrounding space returned to darkness.
In the middle, a black shadow enveloped everything, and Xinyu, who was sitting quietly in the shadow, clearly felt a feeling of loneliness and sadness enveloped him.
She sat blankly, recalling every fragment of the past in her mind.
"Xinyu, this is all the money my sister has, take it!"
"Xinyu, is your mother's condition getting better?"
"Xinyu, sister has found a good opportunity to make money! This task will definitely allow us to earn a lot of money!" Sister Xingyao's open-minded and caring smile appeared in her mind.
She closed her eyes, and scenes of Sister Sophia encouraging her appeared in front of her...
"Yes, how can we not worry less during this treasure hunt!"
"Wow! It's so worry-free!"
"Don't worry, idiot, run away!" She remembered little by little the little girl who tilted her head to encourage and comfort herself, the little girl who protected herself with a cute smile.
Xinyu covered her face with her slender hands, shrugging her shoulders slightly. After a long while, she whispered to herself.
"Mom, what should Xinyu do...?"
The surroundings fell silent, leaving only the sound of Xinyu's gentle breathing. I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a long period of time, or maybe it was just a moment. I just heard a strange noise suddenly coming from the darkness in front of me.
The noise lasted for a while and then stopped, followed by the sound of several people talking.
Xinyu was suddenly startled. She carefully shrank back, but her ankle accidentally touched a thick book and made a slight scraping sound.
"Who!?" A low voice shouted from the darkness ahead.
Her heart trembled violently, this voice, this voice... She trembled slightly, and suddenly had the urge to turn around and run away, but her cowardly character prevented her from doing so, she just obeyed
He lowered his head and replied timidly: "Sister Xingyao? It's me!"
The voice of this answer seemed very thin and weak...
