Beside the open-air stone table at the base, Zhang Chunliang and Qin Wanyi sat opposite each other in silence.

The players from the blasphemous base respectfully brought two cups of tea, and then quickly fled from this troubled place.

Qin Wanyi raised her cup and sniffed it, then pushed her cup to Zhang Chunliang.

"A-level edible items with healing effects can remove physical injuries in the dungeon. There are many blasphemous goodies." She took the lead in opening the topic, and then looked at Zhang Chunliang with a smile, "Are you used to it here? Did Tingying mistreat you? I will help you get revenge."

"Not bad." Zhang Chunliang replied, "Tingying told me a lot of things."

"Well, that's good." She nodded. "Tingying is very loyal to the Blasphemy Base. As long as you can prove your worth, she won't make things difficult for you."

"What on earth is going on?" Zhang Chunliang still held the scroll in his hand, his voice trembling, "Shen Xingyi, and you... why are you here?"

"We are players, so it's not surprising that we appear here." Qin Wanyi's tone was very light, and she stared deeply at Zhang Chunliang.

This answer was very strange, but Zhang Chunliang immediately understood her implication - it was not strange for players to appear here, what was strange was that there were people who came to the Game House without being players.

Zhang Chunliang is not a player, he was smuggled in by the Holy Father System.

"You know...how much do you know?" Zhang Chunliang's voice turned cold. "You and I have never met before."

"But I've seen you many times." Qin Wanyi waved her hand and set up a soundproof wall around the two of them. "What I'm going to tell you next may be a little difficult for you to accept. Are you ready?"

Zhang Chunliang's heart was beating very fast, and he seemed to have a premonition of danger, which made him speechless for a long time. He could only look at Qin Wanyi in a daze.

Qin Wanyi didn't rush him, but just waited for his answer with a smile.

I don’t know how long it took.

"I'm ready." Zhang Chunliang repeated slowly and clearly, "I'm ready."

Qin Wanyi pulled the corner of her mouth and said directly: "——You are an NPC in a game copy."

Zhang Chunliang's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and he listened to her words in silence.

"Before entering your game dimension, Shen Xingyi was already the top player on the player list. He was so strong that he threatened the main god system of the game house, so every dungeon he played was very difficult."

Qin Wanyi said it lightly, but Zhang Chunliang knew very well how terrible it was to be targeted by the system, and Shen Xingyi must have been in a very dangerous situation at that time.

"He is really powerful, so powerful that the main god system can no longer remain indifferent, so He dug a big trap and designed Shen Xingyi to accidentally kill several players, and then assigned him to an extremely difficult SS-level copy in the name of punishment, in an attempt to kill him." Qin Wanyi's tone was very sarcastic.

"The name of this dungeon is 'Age of Justice'. The player's mission is to punish one hundred evildoers without using any force."

At first glance, this game does not seem to be difficult, but players who enter this copy will return to their childhood and start growing up, losing all props and talent skills, and will automatically attract evil people to their side.

These villains will instinctively want to kill the player. The player must not only fight against the malice from these villains, but also find ways to punish these villains using the rules of the dungeon.

"Players can also kill those NPCs, but they cannot be discovered by the rules of this dungeon, otherwise they will have to accept the dungeon's punishment." Qin Wanyi still finds that dungeon very difficult to deal with. "I killed a few bad players in the previous dungeon, and was randomly sent to this dungeon by the punishment mechanism, so I got to know Shen Xingyi."

Zhang Chunliang frowned and looked at Qin Wanyi: "You entered my world as players and treated this as a game, but why did I not notice anything wrong with my life?"

Qin Wanyi's eyes showed a hint of pity, and she lowered her voice: "Because you are an NPC, in your world, you will automatically ignore unreasonable phenomena. This is the correction of the dungeon world to NPCs. The game needs your participation, but it doesn't want you to awaken your self-awareness and cause unnecessary chaos."

"So... am I fake? I am an artificially created... game character." A feeling of powerlessness surged over Zhang Chunliang. He raised his hand and repeatedly observed the lines on his palm, trying to find the difference between him and real humans.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Wang Jun's pain a little.

Qin Wanyi held his hand. Her hands were covered with rough calluses and had a warmth that was full of power.

"Zhang Chunliang." Her hoarse voice was very serious. "S-level copies have their own souls. They will give the NPCs in their planes real consciousness and even develop and evolve on their own. To a certain extent, copies above S-level are the real world."

Just like the NPC Wang Jun whom Zhang Chunliang met in the previous copy, they are basically the same as real people, except that their bodies are virtual and are still restricted by the copy and unable to leave.

"The fact that you can leave this copy world means that you already have a real human identity."

Zhang Chunliang looked at her with a confused look in his eyes. This pitiful look made Qin Wanyi's heart soften. She blinked at Zhang Chunliang mysteriously and said, "Shen Xingyi used all the points he had accumulated at that time to exchange for a prop that allows you to become a real human being."

Zhang Chunliang was stunned for a moment and began to think hard.

In his memory, there seemed to be a time when Shen Xingyi gave him a strange thing.

It was a doll dressed exactly like him, Zhang Chunliang liked it very much, and made it into a key pendant and carried it with him. Later one day, the doll suddenly disappeared, and he regretted it for a long time, but Shen Xingyi was inexplicably very happy, which made him very annoyed and did not let him go to bed for a week.

——Zhang Chunliang didn’t know how many points it would take to turn a game NPC into a real human being, but he knew that it must be a very, very expensive price.

"Zhang Chunliang, you don't know how much Shen Xingyi loves you." Qin Wanyi sighed.

Zhang Chunliang opened the scroll and looked at the familiar handsome face inside, a tear welling up on his chin.

"As players get older, more and more evil NPCs gather around them. They constantly prevent us from completing our missions, and a few times they even threaten our lives."

The identity Shen Xingyi was drawn was an illegitimate child abandoned by a wealthy and chaebol family. He grew up in an orphanage and suffered from bullying by other orphans since childhood. After growing up, he returned to his family and came to another hell.

Shen Xingyi was actually just a blood bag prepared by family members for another seriously ill heir. They threatened Shen Xingyi with Zhang Chunliang's life to have him bleed continuously and transplant bone marrow and various body organs.

If this continues, it will be a chronic death-defying disease.

In order to protect Zhang Chunliang's safety, Shen Xingyi contacted Qin Wanyi and reached a cooperation with her in exchange for ten S-level props.

"During that time, the area outside your apartment was full of my people." Qin Wanyi raised her eyebrows proudly, "I blocked at least twenty waves of attacks from bad guys for you. I am your savior."

"Thank you." Zhang Chunliang's eyes were still a little red and he smiled a little.

"We all know that if this continues, we will definitely die in this copy, so we came up with a plan."

Marriage.

Through this nominal marriage between wealthy families, all the evil people around Shen Xingyi and Qin Wanyi who pose a threat to them are gathered together, and then a fire is created to catch them all in one swoop.

As long as it is designed to be an accident and not be caught by the police of this world, this is also a way to punish the bad guys and help them pass the level quickly.

"In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, we can't tell anyone about this plan, so I'm sorry for hiding it from you." Qin Wanyi's voice lowered.

During that time, Shen Xingyi was about to explode. Qin Wanyi had never thought that the mysterious and powerful Player One, who once existed only in legends, could become so... anxious because of a game NPC.

He installed dozens of cameras in Zhang Chunliang's apartment and monitored Zhang Chunliang's whereabouts every day to relieve his emotional breakdown.

"But, on the day when our plan was about to succeed, you died."

Zhang Chunliang had a splitting headache. He held his forehead in pain and began to recall why he went out on the day he died.

But he could not remember anything. Everything that happened that day became a blank. He could only recall the scene of an out-of-control truck crashing into him just before his death.

"I don't know... I don't know why I was there..." He took a deep breath, his voice trembling.

"It's all over." Qin Wanyi stepped forward and helped him smooth his thin back.

She said calmly, "I don't want to talk about what happened later. Anyway... Shen Xingyi brought me out of that almost certain death instance. I owe him a favor and will help the Blasphemy Base after his death. Some time ago, I heard from my subordinates that a player appeared in Blasphemy who was particularly attracted to Shen Xingyi's soul fragments. I thought he had changed his mind and was about to come to trouble you."

Zhang Chunliang's body stiffened for a moment.

"It's a pity that I came at the wrong time, and you just entered the copy. When I went to Tingying to find out the situation, I learned your name - how did you get here?" Qin Wanyi's tone was a little puzzled.

She knew very well that someone like Zhang Chunliang would never be able to pass the screening criteria for Game House players.

It is a very strange thing that a dead NPC suddenly appears in the game house.

Zhang Chunliang picked up the tea on the table and drank it all.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you now." He stared at the empty teacup and said in a low voice, "But I promise you, I will bring Shen Xingyi back to life."

Qin Wanyi looked at him deeply and said, "Whether Shen Xingyi can survive or not has nothing to do with me. This is your business. I just want to repay him for saving my life. Now I have repaid part of it - my life is very precious."

Qin Wanyi stretched her muscles and stood up. She said nonchalantly, "Come to me if you have any problems. As long as I can do it."

Zhang Chunliang watched her leave the blasphemous base, but his thoughts were still immersed in the fact that he was an NPC, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Facing the confused or worried looks of the members of the blasphemous base, he quickly climbed up the stairs and returned to his nest.

The mad dog was hiding under his bed, looking at his soft bed, ready to make a move.

Zhang Chunliang collapsed on the bed exhausted, his eyes dazed, his thoughts complicated and confused, unable to make sense of a clear line.

"Dad, can I go up? I'm clean." The mad dog put his paws on Zhang Chunliang's feet and swept his tail back and forth expectantly.

"Duoduo." Zhang Chunliang's voice was very soft, revealing a little fatigue. "Were you also a player before? Did you just go to my world to complete the task?"

Duoduo was a puppy he and Shen Xingyi bought at the market after they started living together. The dog dealer said that the puppy was very weak and would not live more than a week, so he planned to kill it and throw it away.

They were very poor at the time and had no extra money to buy a dog.

However, the little puppy couldn't even open its eyes, but kept making tiny whimpering sounds. It desperately bit Zhang Chunliang's pants with its little teeth, as if begging him to take it away.

So the two of them used half a month's food allowance to buy Xiao Duoduo, and then raised it into a lively and happy puppy.

Hearing Zhang Chunliang's question, the mad dog was stunned. It pricked up its beautiful big ears and flapped them nervously twice.

"Dad, I'm your puppy." It rested its big head on Zhang Chunliang's calf on the edge of the bed affectionately and tenderly, "I'm not a player. I've been your puppy since I was born."

After my father died, he went crazy and killed many people, and then he disappeared completely.

Duoduo was a dog that had been wandering for a long time. With the help of his keen sense of smell, he found the murderer who killed his father, and then bit his throat when he was not prepared.

It was caught by humans and was about to be euthanized when its father appeared and took it to a strange place.

Here, he was transformed into a human by his father and became a high-level player called "Mad Dog" that all other players feared.

He began to complete dungeons continuously and gain points. In fact, his wish was very simple. He just wanted to be his father's little dog again, even if he couldn't climb into the bed to sleep.

"Bang bang bang."

There was a knock on Zhang Chunliang's simple wooden door.

Tingying brought a pile of sumptuous meals, ready to reward the hero who brought back the huge soul fragment.

"That crazy woman Qin Wanyi summoned all the blasphemous players who didn't go to the dungeon to the arena and beat them up." Tingying complained, "You would never have thought that it was the fox who told her this."

Zhang Chunliang turned over and groaned in pain.

"Zhang Chunliang, you should go to the dungeon tomorrow." Tingying was silent for a long time outside the door before he spoke, "There will be chaos inside Blasphemy. If you stay here, you will be affected."

As the fragments of the boss' soul were collected more and more completely, all kinds of monsters and demons began to take turns to attack, causing unrest within the Blasphemy Sect.

"If I'm not there when you come out of the copy next time, go find Qin Wanyi." Tingying put the food at the door and left.

No one in the room responded to her. Zhang Chunliang frowned, having already fallen into an unstable dream.

The mad dog climbed onto the bed boldly, nestled beside his head, and used his mouth to pull up the quilt for him.

"Good night, Daddy." The dog buried its head in the crook of his neck, just as it had done many years ago.
