[Science Fiction] Escape from Paint City

Stories of the Three Seniors ([-])

The size of the virtual world is related to the spiritual power of the sleeper, so even though it is a world, it is actually about the size of a small town.The rapid expansion of Qicheng in the later period is inseparable from the authorization and help of No. [-].

So faced with such a vast country—after all, Mo Country is also the third largest country in terms of land area—Cao Shang didn’t even think about whether there is a swimming pool or not.

The seven-day time limit instantly became very tight, not to mention guiding Li Junxi to discover the truth of the world, whether he can find him is a problem.

Cao Shang was so anxious that he jumped on the spot. At this time, a news on the street TV rescued him.

"Our national hero Li Junxi, today he also successfully rescued three little girls from the fire, stopped a gangster robbery, and gave three hours of psychological counseling to the sick and disabled elderly. Most importantly, with his One day standing, the darkness will never erode the light again, and the end of the world will never come!"

What the hell, Cao Shang complained in his heart, Li Junxi's dream is to become a superhero and be admired by thousands of people?So what is his psychological fear of not being needed by anyone anymore?And what is the darkness that erodes the light, how did it look like a cult.

The news went on. "No matter what troubles you have, no matter what difficulties you have, you can contact Li Junxi. For details, please call 85258595."

Cao Shang breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily ignoring the strange feeling in his heart, no matter what, he was finally able to contact Li Junxi.

He fumbled in his pocket, found a mobile phone, and made a call according to the number on the screen.

The phone was connected with only one beep, and it was an intelligent electronically synthesized female voice.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"I want to see Li Junxi right away."

"May I ask why you want to see him right away? If there is no emergency, there will be no vacancy until three months later."

Cao Shang was stuck, he just wanted to find Li Junxi quickly, but he didn't think about what reason he should use.He stalked for a long time, but there was no urging, and he waited quietly, probably because this kind of hesitation often happened.

"I have something very important to prove to him, and if I don't see him right away, I will die."

After hesitating for a long time, Cao Shang still couldn't think of a suitable reason, so he could only tell half-truths about his situation, but he didn't have any idea in his heart.What he said was right, if he couldn't see Li Junxi and couldn't complete the task, he would indeed die.But even if he saw it, he would still die.

"Please wait a moment, I will connect you right away."

He froze for a second, then quickly responded, unexpectedly accepting this ambiguous answer.

The call was quickly transferred, and Li Junxi's clear and warm voice rang out, making Cao Shang feel like drinking cool mountain spring water in summer, and his anxiety was instantly extinguished.

"Hi, I'm Li Junxi, what do you need me to do?"

"My name is Cao Shang, can I meet you?"

"Mr. Cao Shang, what kind of help do you need from me?"

"Can we...can we meet again? It's not convenient on the phone. "

Cao Shang's tone sounded like an underground agent exchanging secrets, thanks to Li Junxi's good temper.He smiled softly, and replied as if pampering a child: "Okay, where are you now, I will come to you through the teleportation array immediately."

Probably because the sound effect of the mobile phone is too good, Li Junxi's chuckle made Cao Shang's ears itch slightly, his whole body tingled, and he was dizzy, even hearing the word "teleportation array" without any doubt.

"I don't know where this is either."

"Ask the people around you and let him tell you."

Cao Shang was eccentric, but Li Junxi didn't seem to have any doubts, and only acted according to his wishes.

Cao Shang grabbed the middle-aged man closest to him and asked, "What is this place?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Cao Shang, looked him up and down, looked serious, and did not speak.

Cao Shang asked again, and the middle-aged man stood still, still silent.It wasn't until he heard Li Junxi's voice vaguely coming from the receiver of the mobile phone that he smiled instantly and responded enthusiastically to Cao Shang.

"Did you ask Li Junxi for help? This is Dongfeng Road, Telan City. The nearest teleportation point is at the end of the front. You have to go there quickly, don't make the hero wait for a long time."

After talking, the middle-aged man was still worried, and insisted on following Cao Shang to the teleportation point to wait.Li Junxi had already heard the location, said "I'll be there soon" and hung up the phone.Cao Shang couldn't find a suitable excuse to reject the middle-aged man, and was afraid that he would find out, so he could only walk silently, acquiescing to his accompanying.

When they arrived at the teleportation point, Li Junxi was already waiting there. The middle-aged man gave Cao Shang a reproachful look, and excitedly stepped forward to talk to Li Junxi.

After receiving a response from the national hero, the middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile on his face, and he was very qualified not to disturb him anymore, turned around and left, and did not forget to give Cao Shang another look before leaving.

Cao Shang had ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping in his heart, he suppressed the urge to hit someone, and tried his best to smile at Li Junxi, but this expression of smiling but not smiling was really unqualified.

Li Junxi looked serious, staring at Cao Shang worriedly.Cao Shang secretly said something bad, but he heard Li Junxi consider his tone, and asked him cautiously: "Now I am here, it is safe, I will protect you, if you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell me, is someone threatening you? "

It sounds ridiculous for a short, thin-looking man to say "this place is safe" and "I will protect you" to another tall, mighty, muscular man, but Cao Shang can Feel Li Junxi's real worry, even though he is just a stranger to him.

He seemed to know for the first time in his life that he still had the emotion of being touched—he used to think that such emotional things would never appear on him—he couldn’t help but stepped forward and hooked Li Junxi’s shoulders, and hammered on his chest. A punch was his way of showing affection.

Li Junxi looked completely stupid, his whole body became stiff, and the roots of his ears turned red all of a sudden.His breathing became thicker, and he put his hands on Cao Shang's chest, trying to push him away.But the disparity in power made his efforts useless.

Why does it look like a red-eyed rabbit, but... a little cute.

Cao Shang, who usually never thinks anything cute, had such an idea of ​​not being straight at all popped up in his mind, and it took him a while to let go of his hand belatedly.Li Junxi immediately took two steps back, looking as if he wanted to escape, but he insisted on staying because of his sense of responsibility.

It's really cute.

Cao Shang felt that something was broken in him, he coughed a few times to dispel this thought, and returned to the business.

"I came to you to know if there is anything you need my help for?"

"what?"

It was the first time I heard such a statement, and Li Junxi's eyes showed surprise, and the previous shyness and discomfort disappeared instantly.

"I mean... Seeing that you are always helping others, don't you need help yourself?"

His life is really tiring, this is Cao Shang's first thought after seeing Li Junxi's life in the virtual world.

Cao Shang also helps others from time to time, but unlike Li Junxi, it usually depends on his mood.If he himself is uncomfortable, how can he have the energy to take care of other people's affairs.

But Li Junxi seemed to never have any troubles, completely disregarding himself and helping others endlessly, which has reached a level of madness.This is absolutely not normal.

"I haven't... I'm very happy if I can help others."

Cao Shang frowned and insisted: "How could it not be possible? As long as you are a human being, you have thoughts, things you want to do, and when you are troubled by things you can't achieve, what is the thing you want to do the most?"

Li Junxi's face was blank. He shook his head and said, "What do I want to do most? I just need to help others. I will show up where others need me."

"You can't do this. Within seven days, you must tell me what you want to do!"

In Cao Shang’s view, what Li Junxi fears is not being needed by others, as long as he can find what he wants to do, this mentality will be overcome.He also doesn't know how to use his brain, so he can only hit the straight ball and follow Li Junxi tightly.

"But you said, if you don't see me, you will die..."

He is obviously already a national hero, and the conversation with the middle-aged man just now was full of aura, but for some reason, in front of Cao Shang, Li Junxi seemed to have become inferior and weak.

"Yes, I want to help you find what you want. If you can't find it, I will die, and die a miserable death."

Perhaps it was because Li Junxi's appearance was so attractive, Cao Shang unconsciously used a coaxing tone, and after he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, and touched his nose unnaturally.

Li Junxi didn't notice it, but kept repeating: "I don't have anything I want, really nothing."

"Okay, don't say this again. Anyway, I will stay by your side for seven days, until you tell me a definite answer."

Cao Shang grabbed his short black hair without bangs, and made a decision directly, regardless of whether Li Junxi agreed with him to follow.In his mind, he probably did whatever he thought of, and he would talk about it if there were any problems.

The infinitely tolerant smile appeared on Li Junxi's face again, as if he would agree to any request made by others.Cao Shang felt that this smile was extremely hypocritical, like a mask, and this mask had already grown together with his flesh and blood.

"Stop laughing, it's so ugly."

Cao Shang felt unhappy, so he stretched out his hands and kneaded Li Junxi's face to break up his expression.Li Junxi's pale cheeks also looked a little more complex, which seemed a lot more real.

"Obviously everyone likes such a smile."

Li Junxi was muttering, and habitually wanted to raise the corners of his mouth again, but the moment he saw Cao Shang stretching out his hand, he immediately put it down.

Cao Shang's strength is too great, it hurts to be pinched by him.

The author has something to say:

Cao Shang, the idiot Gonghahaha, turned around in a second, and felt that he always wanted to bully Li Junxi unconsciously.

There are many people like Li Junxi in reality, who seek their own sense of existence and value by helping others, always with a smile on their face, even if their hearts are already crying blood.

Cao Shang is frantically setting up a flag for himself, hey, I mourn for him.

Why do I feel that the side stories about seniors are much better written than the main text?So I really am better at abuse, haha~

--small theater--

Cao Shang: I'm so touched, I want to beat your chest with a small fist.

Li Junxi (vomiting blood): What a god!
