This NPC really has a problem

"It's here," Han Liu asked with a smile, pointing at his heart, "Do you want to take it away?"

She was clearly smiling, but there was no trace of warmth in the smile on her face. She was in the dark, and her whole body seemed to be entangled by cold and crazy vines.

Become completely unlike yourself.

The last time Lu Ren saw Han Liu, Han Liu was still begging others to take the key away, but now she seemed to have completely abandoned this idea, holding the key as if holding someone else's life and death, she was sincerely happy.

Such Han Liu made Lu Ren feel that any persuasion would be futile.

Meeting Han Liu right now was totally beyond his expectation.

He really wanted to go to the third floor to check on Han Liu's situation, but he didn't expect Han Liu to come to him on his own initiative.One is passive and the other is active, his situation is completely different from what he imagined.

After a long time, Lu Ren said, "I promised others to take it away."

Since he promised, he will try his best, even if he can't think of a way at this moment.

Han Liu tilted his head and asked, "Who is it?"

With a simple movement, Lu Ren heard a rattling sound, like a broken neck bone warning after falling from a building.

Lu Ren asked her, "Do you still remember Zeng Ge?"

"Zeng Ge..." Han Liu spoke slowly, as if recalling the name, "Of course I remember him, he is my younger brother."

The only brother in the world who can bring her a little warmth.

Han Liu's expression revealed a trace of bewilderment, she was not at all like the past at this moment, but she remembered everything in the past, those painful, wronged, angry, desperate... and rarely felt warm.

Her younger brother, who is a few years younger than her, is much braver than her. Many times she is wronged and bullied, but the thin little brother, who is not yet grown up, raises his fist and rushes at those who bully her, like a bird being bullied. The enraged little beast rushed forward bravely no matter what kind of colossus it faced.He often came back with bruises all over his body, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and he smiled indifferently at her.

The painful memories filled her with hatred and killing intent, but Han Liu froze at the thought of the past with Zeng Ge.The past that moved her to the point of crying became dull and tasteless at this time, as if it was not something she had experienced.

It's like swallowing a glass of white water, and you can't taste anything.

"Remember him... so what?" Han Liu muttered to himself, as if persuading himself, "Actually, he can't change anything, and he doesn't know anything... I was begging others to save me. It was him, but he didn't show up."

Of course Zeng Ge would not appear in the women's dormitory at that time, Han Liu knew about it, but she couldn't help feeling resentful.At that time, she hated everyone, as if the whole world was her enemy, and she was alone and helpless in this world.

"He can't change anything." Han Liu repeated in a low voice, "He avenged me, but what happened, nothing can change."

Lu Ren felt that Han Liu was now like a split ghost.

Most of them are controlled by the key, full of resentment, not only want to take revenge on those who killed her back then, but also further harm other people.A small part is still the Han Liu from back then, and that small part persuaded her to think about the people who had been kind to her, put down the butcher knife, and let everything end like this.

Lu Ren said, "Zeng Ge is dead."

Han Liu stood there blankly.

Lu Ren thought, she really didn't know.

Han Liu seemed to have heard an extremely absurd thing, and even laughed twice: "How is it possible? He told me that he had avenged me and killed everyone except that pervert... He said he would run away so far away that no one could find him..."

Lu Ren interrupted him: "Zheng Pei was still alive at that time, and the more people he killed, the more clues he left. , leading him down from the rooftop."

Han Liu stared at Lu Ren in a daze.

There were two obvious bloodstains on her face, which were the traces left after the blood and tears dried up.Han Liu was crying all the time before his death, and the tears welling up in his eyes turned into blood after he died.

The only warmth on the cold concrete floor was the blood flowing from her body, and that was the last time Han Liu felt warm in his life.

There was pity in the eyes of the young man on the steps, as if he was sympathizing with her and pitying her.As if he was telling the truth, the only brother she cared about was indeed dead.

"I don't believe it," Han Liu heard his voice hoarse, "he must be alive and well."

Lu Ren said: "Before he died, he left me a letter. In the letter, he hoped that you would give up that key and you would be free."

Lu Ren has almost no chance of winning against Han Liu, and Zeng Ge is his only bargaining chip.

He was uneasy, he really didn't know how much weight Zeng Ge held in Han Liu's heart, and whether Han Liu, who seemed normal but crazy at the moment, could regain his sanity because of Zeng Ge.

"Where's that letter?" Han Liu's raised voice sounded a bit sharp, "Where's that letter?!"

"It's here..." As soon as Lu Ren touched his pocket, he realized that he hadn't brought the letter with him. At that time, he felt so sad that he didn't dare to look at the letter again. He hurriedly folded it and put it back in the envelope. Stay in the duty room.

His short silence made Han Liu think that what he said before was lying, and said sharply: "You are lying, you are indeed lying!"

Lu Ren's eyes were dark red.

Han Liu suddenly rushed up from the darkness, and before he could make any sound, Han Liu strangled his neck tightly.

Han Liu's strength was so strong that his fingers seemed to dig into his flesh. Lu Ren grabbed her wrist and tried to pull those hands off, but the ghost's hands remained motionless as if made of iron.

Lu Ren wanted to speak, but he could only make some breathy sounds as if he was dying.

The oxygen in the lungs gradually disappeared, and breathing became impossible.Lu Ren's eyes began to darken, and dark patches filled his field of vision.

At some point, his hand fell off Han Liu's wrist, and there was almost no struggle.

The cold liquid dripped on his face again, and after a long time, Lu Ren realized that it was Han Liu who was crying.

While crying, she wanted to kill him again.

One body seemed to occupy two souls. In the past, Han Liu's power was so weak that he could only watch himself being driven by the key to kill innocent people, and could do nothing but cry.

A faint light suddenly pierced the darkness.

Lu Ren moved his fingers, as if he wanted to raise his hand to catch the light.

He tried his best to open his eyes wide to see the light, but he couldn't close them immediately, and fell into the seemingly endless darkness.

……

Lu Ren woke up on Bai Zhu's lap.

It took him a while to realize what the pillow was under his head. It was a bit hard, unlike a soft pillow, and it felt a little subtle.

The temperature of the human body made him realize that the pillow was a big living person without opening his eyes.

Lu Ren didn't need to open his eyes to know that the man was Bai Zhu, and only Bai Zhu would do such a thing.

Lu Ren found himself still in the dark.

The sensor light in the stairwell didn't know why it didn't come on. Lu Ren thought for a while, it seemed that the main gate controlling the circuit of the stair corridor was not pulled down.There is a thin brick in Bai Zhu's hand that emits light. The brightness is not bright, and Bai Zhu's face can be clearly seen in front of him. Bai Zhu just holds it and does not move. After a while, the light dims.

Bai Zhu was distracted, his expression seemed a little dazed, he didn't know where his thoughts had drifted, he didn't realize that Lu Ren had woken up for a while.

Until Lu Ren was about to sit up.

Before Lu Ren moved his body a little, he felt something slipped a little. He looked down and barely recognized the lighter shadow on his body as the overcoat Bai Zhu used to wear.

"Are you awake?" Bai Zhu spoke with joy and fear, and carefully helped Lu Ren up.

"I...cough cough!" Lu Ren found his voice hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Don't speak in a hurry." Bai Zhu wanted to caress the scar on Lu Ren's neck, but when his fingertips were about to touch it, he retracted suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Your throat is hurt, don't talk too much recently. Chatty."

Lu Ren didn't even touch his neck with his hands, he just turned his head slightly and felt a burning pain.

He couldn't quite imagine how the injury on his neck looked like he couldn't bear to look directly at it.With the strength of Han Liu's hand that wanted to strangle him to death, his neck might already be purple.

Thinking of Han Liu, Lu Ren hesitated for a while, and forced a voice: "...Where is Han Liu?"

Bai Zhu pursed his lips, looking like he didn't want to hear the name, and finally said angrily: "Dead."

Lu Ren: "...?"

Han Liu has been dead.

Bai Zhu went into more detail annoyed: "The ghost has disappeared. There seems to be a concept of reincarnation here, so let's count it as reincarnation."

Lu Ren was a little confused.

What happened during his coma?Lu Ren grabbed Bai Zhu's shoulder and looked carefully in the dark, as if there was no injury.

Will Han Liu be so easy to talk to?

Lu Ren immediately stood up and wanted to find a place with a light.

Bai Zhu stretched out his hand to hold him, and dragged Lu Ren back to the steps to sit down, explaining: "I heard something upstairs... sorry, it's too late."

Lu Ren shook his head.

Han Liu's attack caught people off guard, and instantly made him lose his ability to resist. Calculating the time when he saw the light, Bai Zhui came over quite quickly.

"I heard some of your conversations." Bai Zhu said, "I have Zeng Ge's letter with me."

Lu Ren opened his eyes slightly.

Bai Zhu coughed in embarrassment, as if he was very embarrassed to take away Zeng Ge's letter in private: "You lost your mind after reading the letter last time, you threw it in the duty room and didn't even look at it... put it there I was afraid of losing it, and I was afraid that when you wanted that letter again, I kept it with me."

Bai Zhu said as he took out the familiar envelope from the coat pocket that had slipped to the ground: "I kept it in my pocket all the time. When Han Liu disappeared, I didn't take the letter away, so I put it back."

The letter was handed over to Lu Ren by Bai Zhu. Thinking of Zeng Ge, Lu Ren felt a little complicated.

Suddenly, Lu Ren remembered an extremely important matter.He hurriedly said: "The key..."

As soon as his voice was raised, he tore at the injured vocal cords, and it hurt like a heart. Bai Zhu hurriedly covered Lu Ren's mouth, and pressed his hand to make him calm down.

"The key is there." Bai Zhu said and pointed to a place.

Lu Ren saw that Bai Zhu picked up the brick and pressed it somewhere, and the brick lit up again. The light shone in front of him, and he saw a simple and exquisite key lying quietly two steps away from them.

Bai Zhu said, "Han Liu dug out the key from his heart, and then threw it there."

Lu Ren whispered in a daze, "...how should I deal with this?"

"Pick it up first." Bai Zhu said so, but he was unwilling to pick it up by himself, but gently pushed Lu Ren.

Lu Ren went to pick up the key without thinking much, then turned around and handed it to Bai Zhu.

"Put it away first." Bai Zhu refused to answer, speaking vaguely.

Before Lu Ren remembered what happened in reality, Bai Zhu would not have dared to accept the key, but it would not be good to leave it here.The keys seem to have a bad effect on all NPCs in the game, probably only harmless if placed on players like them and fake NPCs.

At this moment, the only suitable person to hold the key is Lu Ren.

Lu Ren didn't care about keeping the keys, he subconsciously asked, "Didn't you always need keys before?"

His voice was hoarse, but Bai Zhu could still hear him clearly.He didn't dare to let Lu Ren speak, so he hurriedly replied, "I don't need it this time...you can keep it for me first."

He took Lu Ren's hand and walked downstairs: "I'll go get you some medicine... By the way, where is the medicine?"

He stopped suddenly, and Lu Ren almost ran into him.

The young boy friend seemed too impatient, Lu Ren said helplessly, "I'm going to the school hospital to get it...they probably haven't finished get off work yet."

Bai Zhu asked Lu Ren to stay in the duty room to rest and then hurried to the school hospital to get medicine.The campus is still a bit chaotic at the moment, but it is much quieter than before.

The school hospital is far away from the teaching area, and it is so quiet that only the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves can be heard.

The bitter night wind was blowing on his face, and the coldness made Bai Zhu, who had been flustered since Lu Ren was injured, calm down.

He suddenly realized something wrong with Lu Ren's words not long ago. ——Didn’t you always need a key before?

Bai Zhu stopped unknowingly, and muttered: "...before?"

……

Lu Ren poured himself a cup of hot water. He didn't know if drinking hot water would be better after a throat injury, and he didn't dare to try it himself. He just held the enamel cup filled with hot water to warm his hands.

It may be because he was in a coma for too long before, lying on the icy steps for a while, even though he was covered with white clothes, his whole body was still cold.

... By the way, clothes.

Lu Ren looked down at the white overcoat that he had draped over his lap to keep warm, and Bai Zhu left the coat with him.The temperature at night in late winter is very low, and I don't know if Bai Zhu can catch cold if he goes out like this.

Lu Ren looked out of the gate through the window of the duty room with some worry.

He even wanted to go out and deliver clothes to Bai Zhu... Speaking of which, they had only officially been together for one day, but it seemed that they had been together for many years, they were already very close, and they would worry about another person.

Lu Ren thought endlessly, the heat insulation of the enamel cup was not very good, and the wall of the cup was a little hot at the moment. After putting the cup back on the table, Lu Ren pulled his coat over his upper body.

Hiding his hands under his coat, he unconsciously touched something hard in his pocket.

It's the key.

Lu Ren thought, why did Bai Zhu leave the key with him this time?Obviously it's a very important thing, before...

Lu Ren was stunned.

……before?

The author has something to say: The pigeon dared not speak, and hugged itself tremblingly.
