This villain, please exercise some restraint.

"Hey? Xiao Chendao, have you heard? The 'Emperor' himself showed up. I thought he was some new NPC or something, but he turned out to be... a player. And to be honest, this player is no stranger to us."

Inside dd proxy, Mo Ling'er sat on a sofa with her legs crossed. A young man in a black shirt passed by with an expressionless face. She pulled him over with one hand and stuffed a cocktail into his hand.

Chen Dao took a sip, then put it down, nodded expressionlessly, and looked at the surprised girl beside him.

"It's Shisi."

"Although the title has changed, it's hard to forget this one."

This time it was Mo Ling'er's turn to be surprised, "Ah? So you knew about it too. I thought I was more informed!"

The young man smiled, then returned to his expressionless face, "Not only that, on the way back, I also saw him and another person who might surprise Sister Ling'er if she tells me."

Mo Ling'er opened her eyes wide with curiosity, but before she could ask, the young man next to her took the initiative to tell her.

"It's An Xu."

"An Xu?!"

Mo Linger raised her voice slightly, "Why would my brother be hanging out with him?"

Shi Si, this name is indeed not unfamiliar. When Zhongzhou was opened, the [Looking for the Destined One] mission from the Sword Sect was aimed at this player.

At that time, she thought that being targeted like this, no matter how powerful the player was, they would flee in panic, but this person's luck seemed to be particularly good. Not long after, A-Di and Chi Xuan massacred the Sword Sect, and the NPC Jian Liu, who was the sword master, accidentally became the ghost of these two men.

Therefore, all players failed in the so-called [Searching for the Soulmate] mission.

"Wait... Xiao Chendao, if you put it that way... I mean, could it be that A-di has a very, very good relationship with this player named Shi Si?"

"Now that I think about it, it seems like everything is a bit of a coincidence. Not long after the [Searching for a Destined Person] mission came out, the NPC who issued the mission was combined with the player named Chi Xuan by my brother to -"

Mo Ling'er said this and made a "wiping neck" gesture.

"Gah."

"From what I know about A-di, he is a very kind and loyal guy. It is very likely that he was helping his friend to avoid disaster last time."

"Yes, that's right. It's very likely that's the case."

"So this time An Xu and Shi Si are together. If you think about it carefully, there's nothing weird about it, right?"

"Last time, Shi Si was wanted by NPCs, and this time, he is the target that all players should protect and rescue. To be honest, compared to the two of them being together, I am more curious about how this guy always gets such... uh... strange missions?"

The girl with wavy hair with pink highlights spoke seriously, totally unaware of the increasingly surprised look on the face of the boy sitting next to her.

"Sister Ling'er... why do you think An Xu is that kind of... kind and loyal guy... considering what he did, it's possible that he just behaves more gently in front of certain people."

Recalling the scene he had just seen, Chen Dao gave what he thought was the most reasonable explanation.

Facing Mo Ling'er's slightly puzzled look, Chen Dao thought for a moment and finally told her what he had seen and heard.

"Yes, the 'Emperor' did appear, and it was Shi Si."

"It's not a new and old NPC as everyone guessed, but a player, a player... who is not too unfamiliar to us."

"However, he doesn't seem to be in a very good situation right now, because when I saw his identity as the 'Emperor' and wanted to get closer to him and try to rescue him——"

Having said this, Chen Dao paused, as if the next words were a little difficult to describe. It was a situation... that he didn't quite understand.

"When I walked up to him, I heard An Xu calling him 'puppy' in a very contemptuous voice. An Xu said -"

[As a dog, you must understand your own identity. As long as I am still here... then even if I am the 'Emperor', I can only be... a dog.]

【Now, let irrelevant people leave immediately. 】

Chen Dao repeated it word for word, and soon he came to the point that puzzled him the most, "Sister Ling'er, do you know? Ever since An Xu said that, I was surprised to find that the column in my taskbar that originally belonged to 'Save the Emperor' was like being wiped out by something invisible, and turned blood red - Leave the 'Emperor'."

"And the time limit is 5 seconds."

Mo Linger was stunned. "Xiao Chendao, you are kidding, right? My brother is definitely not that kind of person. And he even gave other players such an insulting name... What's even more impossible is, when did my brother become so childish?"

"He doesn't think that saying this makes him look cool and handsome, does he?"

Finally, she asked again without giving up, "Are you sure that the person you saw was An Xu? Maybe it was another player's God-given ability that was disguised..."

When Chen Dao was asked this question, he became a little uncertain, because up to now, players have many different types of God-given skills, but he has never heard of a God-given ability like camouflage.

"I can only guarantee that the An Xu I saw was no different from the An Xu we met last time, except that he was not wearing his silver-white glasses."

Chen Dao said so.

He left room for his words.

But in his heart, whether he wears glasses or not, the name An Xu is no longer a positive name in his heart.

Shi Si, although he didn't know this player very well, judging from the last confrontation, although this player was weak, he had a very flexible mind and was very decisive. As a player himself, he had some respect for him after the confrontation.

So, when Chen Dao saw Shi Si's current situation and quickly left, he couldn't help but feel a little... sympathy for Shi Si's experience.

Shi Si seemed to have endured some things that ordinary players should not have to endure while playing this game.

Mo Ling'er frowned and said nothing more.

When Chen Dao said this, she was a little confused for a moment.

Because these are completely inconsistent with her cognition and understanding.

Finally, she spread her hands and lay down on the sofa behind her.

"Tsk, this is so troublesome. I feel like I need to grow a brain."

"Sister Ling'er, in the final analysis, these have nothing to do with you and me. We have no reason to participate in the game mission, nor do we have to do anything. So, I think we should just focus on doing our own thing."

Chen Dao glanced at the latest thug mission he had accepted, stood up and said this.

The dd proxy organization has changed its owner. This is something that everyone knows, at least the thugs in the organization know it.

No one took this matter seriously at first, because they didn't know who the original boss of dd's substitute was. They just called him boss. Since they didn't know him, then... they just changed him.

But as time goes by, as a thug, he can feel more and more... the new boss behind this thug organization, called "Star", is making more stringent and standardized changes to DD's proxy playing.

He didn't know whether to call this change good or bad, but he always felt that under the forced requirements, he got some more things, such as money, benefits, and treatment.

Something is missing, such as time, freedom, energy...self.

The thug friends around me are gradually leaving, not leaving the game, but leaving the organization. Gradually, some stronger players join in as free men and become thugs, climbing up the ladder called rules.

This is fair, and it seems... there's nothing wrong with it.

At least the impact on him was very minimal.

"Focus on doing our own thing?"

Mo Linger looked at Chen Dao who had turned around and blinked, "Are you sure you want to focus on doing our own thing... instead of doing things for the proxy organization? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility... Is it because we are the front-line fighters that we have to be assigned so many tasks?"

"Xiao Chendao, I feel a little tired. No, maybe too tired. I don't know whether I am playing the game... or the game is playing me."

"I feel like I haven't had a good rest for a long, long time. Do you understand this feeling? It's that kind of feeling... I'm clearly in the game, but it feels like I'm working hard."

"Obviously, I joined DD's proxy game at the beginning, just because of a few external factors and the overwhelming interest..."

"I'm considering whether to quit this annoying organization. If possible, it would be nice to change the original boss back. Although I've never seen one, I prefer this kind of manager who is directly invisible."

The boy in the black short-sleeved shirt paused when he heard this. He heard what Sister Ling'er said.

But he didn't know what to say. He knew that Sister Ling'er joined DD not because of the money, but maybe just because she thought this organization was cool.

But... he has a different opinion about this organization and this new manager, and he doesn't seem to... be disgusted.

"Sister Ling'er, it's okay. Everyone has their own choices. Just follow your heart."

Chen Dao left, and the short boy left these words.

Mo Ling'er looked at the black figure, and for a moment she felt that this little boy seemed a little too... lonely.

Just like his "God-given" ability, inconspicuous and inconspicuous, like a...transparent person who often remains silent.
