The day when I was forcibly bound by an NPC

This time Jiang Zhaonian did not hesitate, and signed his name on the lower right corner of the contract.

The mage shook the paper twice, and suddenly a blue magic flame appeared in his hand.The deed was burned out, and there was not even a single ashes left.

Jiang Zhaonian suddenly stared and covered the side of his neck: "It's so hot!"

The mage said lightly: "When a new contract is formed, the original one will be replaced. It will hurt a bit."

"Hiss—" Jiang Zhaonian inhaled lightly, and sure enough, after the initial scalding, the place on his neck that was touched by the mage began to feel a little pain, as if something had been pulled away from it.

Fortunately, the pain was not rapid and lasted for a short time, Jiang Zhaonian quickly got used to it.

The mage sat down beside him: "Now it's time to tell you something."

Jiang Zhaonian looked at him expectantly.

The mage narrowed his eyes and sat back on the sofa, as if he was thinking about where to start.

"In the place you saw, there were no 'aboriginal people' at first, and you should be able to understand this."

Jiang Zhaonian was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be so powerful when he came up... So it is said that the master has always known that he is a time traveler, not only that, everyone here is a time traveler? !

The mage said: "I should be one of the first people to come to this place, so I witnessed their changes with my own eyes. Most people still clearly remember their identities when they first came. Whether they refuse to accept In reality, I tried my best to return to the original place, and I decided to continue living here. Everyone was forced to stay in this world. In order to live, they divided labor and cooperated, and gradually gained their identity in this world. Until now Everything seemed normal at the time, but as time passed, I found that they gradually forgot where they came from, thinking that their current identities were innate and never changed. They were assimilated into the world 'Aborigines'."

Jiang Zhaonian was engrossed in listening, and his brows were slowly furrowed.

The mage continued: "Do you know what the assimilated people look like? They look like ordinary people who work hard and live a good life. If so, even if they are assimilated, forget the past and start again, they still seem to be the same. Not bad. But that’s not a normal world.”

The mage stood up: "Have you ever seen a normal person repeat the exact same thing every day, every week, or every year, and perform the exact same love and hatred? Have you ever seen the uncle who died in the previous autumn come in the spring? Then he went back to the village, and all the villagers felt no difference, as if he should have been living among them all the time? The elf, his 71 dead 'loved wives', each of them will be 'after death' returned to the village the following year."

Jiang Zhaonian listened thoughtfully, blinked his eyes, and called out the status panel that he hadn't seen for a long time.

This is indeed a game world... Isn't the situation that the mage said is a well-designed program?It seems that the game is a bit rigid and doesn't do random events.The time cycle is also simple and rude, it sounds like it will go back to the file every spring.

However, combined with what the mage said at the beginning, if those villagers were originally time travelers like me...

Jiang Zhaonian frowned, that is to say, all the "NPCs" in this game were transformed from "players"?

And this transformation is a continuous, slow, but irresistible process.

If it becomes an NPC, is this living person who will repeatedly revert to resurrection really alive, is he still the original person?

Jiang Zhaonian thought about it, his expression became a little dignified.But he thought about it again, if "becoming an NPC" is equivalent to losing real life, equating to death - then, there is a function in this world, no matter how you resist, the final result is "becoming an NPC" ", it sounds like in his world, there is an effect, no matter how people resist, the final result is death...

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it's not that scary anymore...it's not! !

Jiang Zhaonian's face turned pale. If we corresponded in this way, "the whole world is full of NPCs", isn't it equivalent to "the whole world is full of dead people"?

As one of the few "living people" known, Jiang Zhaonian shivered.

Seeing his expression, the mage thought that he was frightened by his own words, so he comforted him and said, "Don't worry too much, I just discovered that the assimilation effect on you has lost its effect."

"...Eh?" Jiang Zhaonian opened his eyes wide. Isn't this equivalent to being immortal?

"But you can't relax your vigilance. Although it can't slowly assimilate you with practice, it's hard to say whether other methods will work for you."

"What does it mean?"

"Do you still remember that I told you before, don't accidentally kill yourself?" The mage said, "In this place, death doesn't seem to happen for real, and the worst thing is to be resurrected next spring. It's easy for people to relax their vigilance. .But every single person I've ever met who remembers who they are, after dying once, loses it and becomes one of 'them'."

Jiang Zhaonian held his breath, he hadn't thought about it at all at the time, the mage's reminder turned out to have such a meaning!

"Then you... suddenly changed your mind and accepted me as an apprentice, what do you want to do?"

The mage said: "Don't be nervous, in fact, I just... I watched these things happen alone, year after year, many years passed. None of the former acquaintances remained, and all the former friends said, 'In the northern forest The evil mages who live there have nothing but fear and hatred, and bad memories of being forced upon them by that power... Can you understand how I feel?"

Jiang Zhaonian nodded violently.

The mage rubbed his forehead: "So when I found out that you can't be corroded by this kind of power... I was emotional for a while. But I think maybe you are an opportunity, maybe we can find the real way to get rid of this kind of power in you." Way. Will you help me?"

"I am willing!" Jiang Zhaonian said.

Just listening to what the mage said, he felt hairy all over his body, and he couldn't imagine what it was like to be a mage who had experienced it for many years.

If he doesn't seek a solution, Jiang Zhaonian knows that sooner or later he will fall into the same situation as the mage.

Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with using it, he was tied to the same rope with the mage.

"But now you can always tell me your name?"

The mage showed a really relieved smile: "My name is Yi Zhu, thank you very much for your trust."

Seeing that smile, Jiang Zhaonian was momentarily stunned.

The smile quickly faded again.

The mage sat down again: "However, it is still unknown whether the problems in this world can be solved. The most important thing to watch out for right now is the elves. In a few days, winter will be over, just like my power has been taken away and used in the winter of this world." He is a symbol of spring, as in the book. Be careful that he uses spring's coercive events to choose you as a marriage partner."

……

There is nothing wrong with the mage's vigilance, but he didn't expect one thing, or, he never thought that he could operate like this.

The jealous elf couldn't bear it for a moment, or maybe he knew the mage wouldn't back down, so he had to surprise.

Tivis, who couldn't wait for the spring, used his control over the power of nature to forcibly spread the "spring" out of the dark valley, ending winter early.

Just out of sight for a while, Jiang Zhaonian disappeared.

The mage called him several times in the studio, but no one answered.

At this time, he had already sensed that something was wrong. When he hurried out of the studio and found that the ice and snow had melted outside and the fresh green was abundant, his heart sank.

Tevez has come.

……

Jiang Zhaonian sat in the sedan chair woven of vines with a dazed expression, and looked at Tivis in dismay.

"You are mine now." Teves smiled and touched Jiang Zhaonian's cheek.

Jiang Zhaonian leaned back to avoid him, rushed to the door of the sedan chair, and slapped hard, but couldn't break through the barrier.

He looked out, and saw a group of goblins carrying sedan chairs, accompanied by music, and frost grass was decorated everywhere on both sides of the road.

The procession passed through huge garlands of frostgrass, dotted with tiny sapphire blue flowers on a silver base, as dreamy as some kind of wedding scene.

Jiang Zhaonian was pulled back to his seat from behind, and Tivis hugged him tightly.

"Don't worry, no one will stop us," Teves emphasized viciously, "not even that damn mage!"

"I'm going to hide you in a place where no one will find out."

"Stay with me, I will love you very much."

As if the disguise had been completely removed, Tevez's face was no longer innocent and pure, and it was also different from the cold and restrained look when his identity was discovered.

The specks of black that once appeared on his body seemed to have eroded his whole body overnight, and Tivis looked at Jiang Zhaonian with strong emotions almost overflowing.

Maybe it was too full of emotion, Jiang Zhaonian himself could not even be reflected in his eyes.

Tivis looked at Jiang Zhaonian, as if looking at his love that was destined to never be answered.

Jiang Zhaonian: ...

Jiang Zhaonian didn't dare to speak anymore, he moved his buttocks quietly, trying to sit as far away from Tevez as possible.

The team gradually sank into the depths of the dark mountains, and the deeper they entered, the more rugged the mountain road became.

When the last person also entered the mountain, the vines on both sides spread wildly, and soon, the small mountain road was tightly covered.

It seems that they have always been there, and the road connecting the inside and outside has never appeared.

When the mage hurriedly chased to the Gloomy Mountains, the entire area was sealed off by dense greenery.Those new plants erased all traces and blocked the way into the mountain.

The mage frowned and read out a magic spell, the bitter cold instantly condensed, and the ice and snow froze a large area of ​​plants to death.

And in the next moment, the vacancy was filled by new vines.

Unfortunately, this is not the season of the mage.

His strength was restrained, but Tivis' strength was greatly enhanced.

Breaking through is not the solution, and the time skipped by some unknown method cannot be reversed.

The mage's eyes almost burst into flames, and he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

The mage lowered his head quietly and stood there thinking for a while.He turned around and made a decision.

He was going to visit the guy who might be able to restrain Tivis.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, I feel a little sad all of a sudden.There shouldn't be any updates these days.

But I will try my best to protect my little red flower
