Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

Lu You's ominous premonition when he heard "other people have come" was quickly verified by the next words of Road to Hades.

"The storyline of the dungeon he experienced is different from ours this time." Road to Hades stared at the floor plan and said in a steady tone, "After he entered the nursing home, he met a 'good-looking blonde' on the first floor. Probably Frieda before she became a monster... went downstairs to avoid her, found the mermaid in the room, and was mistaken by Eric for having evil intentions, and the communication was completed after some conflicts. Eric I hope to use his power to lead the mermaid out of this nursing home."

"However, mermaids... as a creature that is often used as 'raw material' in magical experiments and has been hunted and sold for a long time, they are extremely wary of alien races; I don't like physical contact either..."

A meaningful pause.

"...Eric also gained the trust of the mermaid by chance and coincidence, and it took a long time." Road to Hades said slowly, "So, the following plot became like this: the mermaid refused to follow strangers. People left, Eric had to go together... Maybe Eric didn't know the secret passage in the room at the end of the corridor at that time, or maybe there were other considerations. In short, they returned to the first floor and were unfortunately discovered by Frieda. Frieda took Eric away, and he, the intruder, was killed by the swarming synthetic beasts."

"I didn't know this person before, but he heard from a friend... a teammate of Monster, that someone was going to come to this dungeon to do the task, so he sent me an email to 'share experience'. I just sent this email I received it when I went online, and to be honest, the information in the email is not helpful to the task itself, but it happens to include the part I care most about...'you'."

Having said that, the road to Hades also determined the goal and route of this trip on the schematic diagram.He backed away from the stairs, turned around, and walked forward like a leisurely stroll along the bright and quiet corridor.Lu You, who was held in his arms, froze motionless, even breathing subconsciously.Although he also knows that this will only make his abnormalities more obvious...

However, he can play someone else when he is prepared, and he can't cover up his instinctive reaction to the unsuspecting moment quickly enough.It was too late to pretend that I didn't understand.

The reason why the Road to Hades will suddenly bring up another player's dungeon story to an "NPC"...

"I've had several guesses about this," said Road to Hades, his voice echoing in the hallway with a bit of a strange echo, "For example, the obedience was because I sensed danger from me...but in the design In Dingli, although the mermaid looks gentle on the outside, its personality is actually very irritable. If it feels danger, it will only show more aggressiveness; or, it is related to the number of players present at that time. It can be denied."

"You have some 'emotional' performance, which reflects a much higher level of intelligence than this character should have. So I thought of another situation that has appeared before: the character in the copy accidentally upgraded and realized that he As an identity, actively cooperate with the player to get out of the plot. But after you showed closeness to me, I think your cooperation is not because of 'I will take you away', but because of 'I' itself... Finally, just now in 301 In the room, the residual power of the demonic circle will make you feel uncomfortable, and the influence of the 'demonic' bloodline is ruled out."

"To sum up," Road to Hades concluded solemnly, "you are willing to let me carry you around, it has nothing to do with my role in the game, it's just because of 'me'... right?"

Lu You said nothing.He is trying to recall before that, when Road to Hades met him, carried him out of the room, said to him "I thought you would kiss me", and brought him close to the half circle on the wall, was there anything special? His performance can show that this person is secretly observing and speculating about him... While feeling a little overwhelmed, a coolness slowly creeps up his back.

Road to Hades poked his hand with the tip of its tail—this was a gesture of comfort, and Road to Hades would probably have wanted to touch his hair more if it wasn't for his arms to hold him. "Don't be afraid." He said telepathically, with a slight smile in his voice, "When I see any reaction from others, I will try to guess the reason. This is just my habit..."

What The Road to Hades didn’t say is that the reason why he developed this habit is that since he was conscious until his first half of adolescence, his interpretation of other people’s expressions and emotions will always be a little bit off… like the circuit of thinking and normal People are different.And once he realizes this situation, he will feel terrified...as if this will cause very bad things...it will make him lose something very important...

His habit of making observation and analysis as common as breathing was formed to correct this "deviation".At first his ability to relate to people did get a little better because of it, but then it seems to have gone a little too far.Once he starts to recognize inconsistencies and gets annoyed with co-acting, his behavior in social situations evolves from "unintentionally annoying" to "deliberately cold."

Lu You may have the opportunity to discover the origin and past of these details in the future.Now, Road to Hades is about to say something else.

"Hmm... I should have said 'I want to tell you a few things' just now..." He muttered to himself, stopped at the branch of the corridor to identify the direction, and chose to turn to the left.There is no such bifurcation in the schematic diagram, but Lu You only noticed this. As for the road to the underworld, through some other clues or answers, it is possible to match the schematic diagram with the real environment. When he came out, he could only hear Road to Hades saying: "About two months ago... we started hearing the sound of the pointer."

"I don't know where it came from, the sound of the second hand moving step by step... It's like a countdown." He continued the abrupt topic, "I checked the house and went to the doctor, but I didn't find out the reason. In the end, it can only be attributed to unexplained mental illness. However, our own feeling is that ... that voice is saying, 'he is coming'."

When he said it for the second time, Lu You finally noticed that somewhat weird pronoun.

"us"……?

"The sound never stopped, whether it was awake or asleep." Road to Hades said, "Until this afternoon... when I woke up in the game cabin, the sound stopped." His tone remained the same. Calm, as if tortured by inexplicable noises, and sudden termination for no reason, never brought any trouble, "Because neural access does occasionally cause some strange effects on the human body, I went to watch the game In the system log of the cabin, I found that during the data conversion process when I went offline, there was a warning of excessive information... Well, do you know what information is?"

He didn't need Lu You's response, and then continued, "Don't worry about the definition. To put it simply, this warning means that when I go offline, in addition to my 'consciousness' returning to my body from the game, there is still Other data came down... It didn't mix with my consciousness, it existed independently in the system for more than ten seconds, and its whereabouts were unknown after the game cabin was powered off."

"For this problem, I contacted some people to inquire about the situation... I found a way to trace it back to the game, and determined the place and time when the abnormality first appeared... It sounds simple, but it is still very troublesome to do it." Road to Hades said Here, he slowed down. For the first time since he started a long explanation at the stairs, he lowered his head and made eye contact with Lu You.

"I was busy for hours after I was offline, just doing these things," he said.

A few seconds later, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Your expression says...'I see that'." He said softly, "Do you know what I've been up to since I'm offline?"

A few seconds later, the smile widened, "I really know..."

The mermaid looked stunned.After a while, he made a small sound like a baby bird. If it was replaced by a human being, he would involuntarily say "ah"...

To ask Lu You how he feels now...

After experiencing Poseidon whose EQ is as low as plankton, An Tuo whose EQ is as low as an automatic coffee machine (Hurst), and Lin Heng who seems to have such a low EQ that he can end any topic in two sentences, he was caught off guard. Next, the feeling of being scammed twice by the road to the underworld without saying a word... It is probably equivalent to one day when I found out that the coffee machine at home that I wanted to add milk but also added sugar by mistake suddenly started using polite Speaking in a low voice, I learned how to make egg fried rice and wash clothes without a teacher...

As for the road to the underworld, at this moment he was aware of it, and began to reflect on some incurable parts of his heart: at this time when this should be a serious discussion... he was feeling While enjoying the extremely childish joy of "the way to like is to tease", his eyes uncontrollably moved to the moist gap between the two pink lips, which were slightly opened because of the sound.

He pondered hard for a while, and found that his reason seemed to be about to fail... In order not to break the restriction of "waiting until the game is over" that he had promised himself before, he turned his gaze back.

I thought that the mermaid...or, at this time, the unknown consciousness using this NPC image would feel embarrassed, annoyed, or frightened by being discovered. The possibility of escaping in this body... But when he looked at those eyes again, he found that "him" looked quite serious.

When he was going through the messy mental activities just now, "he" seemed to have thought about it seriously and made a decision.

Lu You took back the arm that was holding Lulu's neck (he had kept this posture during the repeated frights just now, and he hadn't noticed it), and let go of his tail with the other hand , with both hands on the shoulders of Road to Hades.He twisted a bit, barely adjusted to a face-to-face posture with the cooperation of Road to Hades - it was really inconvenient to have an inseparable fish tail - and began to look at Road to Hades solemnly.

The expression of Road to Hades changed from doubt to bewilderment, and finally he understood—but what he understood was not the message he wanted to convey, but his intention to do so. "You just look at me like that... I don't know what you're thinking." He said with some helplessness and a little amused, "That's not mind reading, just from the eyes..."

Just thinking that "maybe the devil in the game has the ability to read minds", Lu You kept silent and looked at him suspiciously.From just now, the smile on Lu Lu's lips has not been put away, but it has gradually added other meanings.He interrupted his words in the middle, sighed suddenly, and then said: "Let's act quickly... Finish this dungeon, let's go out and talk about it?"

He looked at Lu You with inexplicable anticipation.Lu You looked back in confusion, thought for a while, raised his hand to his ear, and gestured for a phone call.Road to Hades pondered for a moment, then guessed: "Offline... contact?"

Lu You shook his head, thought for a while, and made a rectangular frame with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands. "The fox's window..." Road to Hades first gave an inexplicable answer, and then finally guessed, "Mobile phone?"

Lu You nodded, drew a bigger frame, and then pretended to type on the keyboard.This time, the thinking of the road to the underworld jumped several times with amazing accuracy, "Computer... electronic equipment? You saw me with a camera... Are you the one who caused the alarm in the restaurant?" Lu You nodded again He quickly asked again: "Is it remote control...or are you inside the device?"

Lu You shook two fingers at him, feeling a little surprised.Data ghosts residing in electronic devices... such a surreal setting, he thought it would be difficult for people to accept, let alone guess.But... the game cabin that converts "consciousness" into "data" sounds surreal...

A thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that the fact that he was possessed by game NPCs and electronic devices... actually has nothing to do with supernatural powers, but something that the technology of this world can do?For example... the game pod of the target is broken, or something went wrong during the game, which caused the step of "consciousness" returning to the body to fail to complete?

But in this case, it doesn't seem to match the only prompt he got in this mission, "take back the thing that was taken away"...Or, the desire to put in the target and the "abnormality" that led to his current situation are inherently different. It doesn't matter?

There is so much unknown information about this mission that Lu You feels a headache when he thinks about it.And Road to Hades kept silent after getting a response to his guess.

When he spoke just now, and during the period of thinking now, he never stopped on his feet. The black blood he controlled should have the effect of sensing the surrounding environment, so that he would not walk to the wall without looking at the road.They turned two more turns, and the road to Hades stopped before an unmarked door.

"Do you... have a name?" He asked suddenly.

When he asked this, Lu You understood a little bit.Road to Hades didn't actually guess that he was a human being, and probably thought he was some kind of data creature.In his current state of being unable to speak, it was inconvenient for Lu You to say more, so he just nodded, poked his fingertips on the shoulder of Road to Hades, and prepared to write for him.Before writing, he paused again, and in the end, half joking, half serious, he slid his fingertips down and changed the position from his shoulders to his heart.

This game is really very real... the fabric of the clothes under the fingertips, the solid and warm muscles covered by the fabric, the steady beating heart in the chest... After Lu You poked it, he spent a few more seconds admiring the feel, and then Slowly wrote his name there.

He wrote it twice. "Lu... You." Road to Hades read softly, "Lu You?"

Lu You put down his hands, raised his head, and smiled at him.Road to Hades showed a strange expression, as if he had been bumped lightly by something.

"I... didn't want to say those conjectures so early." He whispered, "When I was walking down the stairs just now, I was still thinking that I should observe for a while longer. However, when I thought that if I miss this time , the one you face again will be replaced by 'him'..."

After this sentence that was a bit unclear to Lu You, he didn't continue, and looked up at the door in front of him. "This...should be the archives." He said, "Try it with the key you found by the water tank."
