The strategy was almost successful!

Liao Ruming and Cyril looked at each other.

Liao Ruming fell into an awkward silence because of his whim, while Cyril was completely uneasy.

After a while, they said in unison: "Or forget it..."

Then they looked at each other for a moment and laughed in unison.

They all have something to escape from.

Liao Ruming didn't want to face the fact that his parents cruelly abandoned him, and Cyril didn't want to face the fact that he had never participated in Liao Ruming's life in the past twenty years.

And if you don't want to face it, then don't face it for now.There are few things in the world that require a person to make a decision immediately, at least they don't need it now.

So Liao Ruming shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "It seems that we have reached an agreement."

There was a strong smile in Cyril's eyes. This was the first time when Liao Ruming opened his eyes in the palace after he came to the palace, he saw such an obvious smile from Cyril.

He thought, no matter what, he has to add 1% to his strategy progress, right?If you don't add it, 017 will definitely be finished!

However, 017 was also finished.It no longer appeared in Liao Ruming's ears, chattering to persuade Liao Ruming not to give up the main task...

Thinking of 017, Liao Ruming's heart was filled with a delicate emotion.He felt that when 017 was still around, he didn't take this game system seriously, but now that 017 is gone, he misses the noise of this stupid game system...

Humans are amazing.

Liao Ruming thought so, and then put his thoughts behind him.

Is the existence of 017 important to him now?

it is not important.

Therefore, even though Liao Ruming still misses the relaxed, not serious but fun enough mood of facing the game, it is impossible to turn back time.

Rather, it was precisely that attitude of playing with life that brought him to where he is now.

If it was a lover in reality, then Liao Ruming might not show the attitude of hot and cold, near and far so frequently.But in the game, Liao Ruming naturally followed his own personality.

then...

Take it upon yourself.After all, you can say that you deserve it.

Liao Ruming thought for a while, and then pushed these thoughts out of his brain.

He said, "Then let's continue drawing cards."

He took it as a card draw.

However, it is not that Cyril did not prepare a real card game for him.But he doesn't want to play those games anymore.

Even if Cyril could help him cheat and make him ignore the rules of the game and draw cards casually, Liao Ruming still didn't think it was interesting.

... Cyril also realized Liao Ruming's boredom.

Now, chatting with Cyril, that incident, and drawing different bubble pictures every day have become the most enjoyable things for Liao Ruming.

So, one day, Cyril suddenly said, "Do you want to visit other worlds?"

Liao Ruming was startled, and suddenly asked with interest: "Are you willing?"

Cyril lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.He said: "How can I be willing to..."

How could he be willing to let Liao Ruming stay with him in this ghost place for the rest of his life?

He just... He just trapped Liao Ruming for such a short time, and his heart ached because of Liao Ruming's gradually sluggish, lazy, and boring appearance.

Liao Ruming will go crazy if he is really closed for a lifetime, and Cyril himself will go crazy because of Liao Ruming's madness.

Cyril realized this very early on, but there seemed to be a tug-of-war in his heart.

The malicious party said that once Liao Ruming was allowed to leave, he would definitely not want to return to such a boring place.So what if he prepared countless things for Liao Ruming's entertainment?Liao Ruming still hated this three-acre land.

But the benevolent side said that he couldn't keep Liao Ruming here forever.He knew Liao Ruming, and he also knew himself.If Liao Ruming really wanted to play in other bubbles, would Cyril have the heart to refuse him?

Before Liao Ruming proposed it himself, it would be better for Cyril to take the initiative and save a little face for himself by the way.

So just like that, what surprised Liao Ruming was that Cyril, who locked him in this palace, offered to use his avatar to accompany him out to play.

... Accompanied by an avatar, of course!Liao Ruming knew without thinking!

The answer given by Cyril is naturally very "Cyril".He was not willing to let Liao Ruming stay with him forever in this lonely, cold and gloomy palace, so he let Liao Ruming leave.

It's just...he wants to enjoy the time with Liao Ruming first.

Liao Ruming looked at Cyril's bitter face, then shook his head: "Are you asking me to leave? No, you are asking me to stay."

Cyril was taken aback, and then said anxiously: "I'm really..."

"Of course I know you are serious." Liao Ruming said so, but he said it as a matter of course, "But my feeling is different, okay?"

Cyril looked at him hesitantly, and then asked, "You're relenting, aren't you?"

Liao Ruming was silent for a moment, and then said angrily: "Yes! Are you happy!"

Cyril couldn't help showing a big, silly smile - at that moment, his expression really overlapped with that guy Cheng Ran.

He murmured, "Yes, I'm very happy."

Liao Ruming finally softened his heart.He stayed in this palace because of Cyril himself, not because Cyril trapped him here.

"I will stay in this palace for a while." Liao Ruming said, "I still want to continue drawing cards, I'm not tired of it yet."

He is not extracting virtual data in the game now, but actually extracting real pictures from the long river of history—sometimes, Liao Ruming can even see some characters in textbooks.

So this incident really made Liao Ruming interesting and addicted.

So Liao Ruming said enthusiastically: "Continue to draw cards!"

Cyril was helpless.

He let Liao Ruming think, and felt jealous and anxious because Liao Ruming devoted so much attention to those pictures of bubbles.

He really hoped that Liao Ruming could keep his eyes on him forever.

And he knew clearly that this was impossible.

This kind of anxiety and contradictory emotions always made Cyril feel a kind of pain and distortion as if he was being burned.

He always feels that his thoughts are being involved by something, and he has to pay attention and care, but he himself thinks that such emotions are too much.

...Maybe it will scare Liao Ruming.

If he really realized how dark, gloomy, and gloomy Cyril is, what would Liao Ruming think?Everyone has a good side and a bad side, but Cyril is especially complicated.

He was the shadow of Hiram.

At this time, he was obviously still extremely happy because Liao Ruming was willing to stay, but the other half of his soul was screaming dissatisfied.

As if it wasn't enough for Liao Ruming to stay... not enough!He needs more!

Cyril inadvertently took a deep breath, feeling that he was becoming a more greedy and hateful existence.But he himself could not control this change.

The person who controlled this change was right beside him, yelling at those damned bubbles.

Cyril felt deeply distressed.

He felt himself in a predicament.

If he wanted Liao Ruming to stay in this palace forever, it would be impossible for him to attract all of Liao Ruming's attention just by being boring.

So Liao Ruming must be obsessed with other things.

For example, now, he is obsessed with drawing cards.

However, Cyril just didn't want Liao Ruming to do this - he wanted Liao Ruming to devote all his attention to him.

But...but how is this possible?

Cyril himself thought it was impossible.Of course he knew Liao Ruming, he knew that Liao Ruming would like those novelty things.

He also felt... He knew that Liao Ruming would leave this palace sooner or later, one day sooner or later.But Cyril plucked up the courage to take the initiative to propose this proposal, but was rejected by Liao Ruming instead.

As a result, the monster in Cyril's heart became even more arrogant.

The rational side of Cyril's heart was warning himself not to let this monster go.If left alone, he might do something irrational.

At that time, not only will he hurt himself, but also Liao Ruming.

But... Cyril thought in confusion and distress, but the control of that monster is in Liao Ruming's hands.

How could he interfere with Liao Ruming's thoughts?

He can't do it at all.

This becomes a dead end.

However, now Cyril looked at Liao Ruming and thought, at least, everything is going well.Maybe soon... maybe... soon he'll actually get what he wants, won't he?

He just stared at Liao Ruming obsessively and intently.

Liao Ruming turned his head and saw Cyril's gaze, couldn't help laughing, and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Cyril looked away a little uncomfortable, and then said, "I just want to see you."

"Oh——" Liao Ruming said with a bit of bad taste, "do you regard me as your star again?"

"It's not like it is." Cyril corrected him very seriously, "You are my star."

"I'm not those huge stars." Liao Ruming said, "Is there any place where my name and personality are connected with stars?"

Cyril shook his head.

"That's right." Liao Ruming said, "I'm not a star."

Obviously, he was just sarcasm and ridicule Cyril's statement.

But Cyril said: "You are not a star in the sky, you are a star in my heart."

Liao Ruming was stunned immediately.

He looked at Cyril in amazement for a moment, then clapped his hands: "Well, Cyril, you have grown up."

"……Uh?"

Liao Ruming said: "You have grown into a master of love talk."

Cyril felt a little dazed, because he thought that he was just saying what he thought in his heart.

But this just pleases Liao Ruming?

Only then did Cyril think of Liao Ruming's request for honesty and frankness, and thought, does this mean that he should speak out his true thoughts, and this might make Liao Ruming feel happier?

Just as he was thinking this, Liao Ruming approached him with a smile and kissed him, and then drew another card.

This time, Liao Ruming let out a little surprise, because he found that the scene this time seemed to be...

He pondered for a while, and then said, "The moment when the Academia Sinica was established?"

In the main universe, Academia Sinica was established in the chaos of the universe about 1000 years ago.At that time, human beings had not established such a huge empire as it is today, and wars were still continuous.

The Academia Sinica, which gathered the most powerful scientific researchers among human beings at that time, was established at that moment, and developed many new technologies, and then turned the tide, and finally contributed a lot to the establishment of the human empire.

For that period of history, Liao Ruming didn't have much idea.War sounds very, very distant.

Therefore, he did not expect to draw the Academia Sinica when he drew the card.

Cyril asked, "Do you have anything to do with Academia Sinica?"

"It doesn't matter, but..." Liao Ruming thought for a moment, then suddenly said to Cyril, "Can you send a message to the outside world?"

"……foreign?"

"To the main universe." Liao Ruming said, "I hope to let people outside know that I am fine. I guess at this time, I am afraid that many people are paying attention to me, especially the Academia Sinica."

The professors of Academia Sinica have been paying attention to Liao Ruming for a long time.

Although Liao Ruming didn't feel sorry for them, but thinking of so many things, for the main universe, it was only a night, and he felt a little strange.

Liao Ruming shrugged and added, "I don't want them to think I'm dead."

Cyril lowered his eyes slightly and remained silent for a long, long time.

"Let me think about it." Cyril suddenly raised his head, showing a subtle smile, and said, "By the way, now, let me use my avatar to accompany you to a small world."

Liao Ruming was startled, he didn't expect Cyril to make such a proposal at this moment.

He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Cyril nodded affirmatively. His hands were behind his back, trembling uncontrollably. He tried hard to maintain a smile on his face, but felt that his rational side was cracking, "I'm sure."

Liao Ruming looked at him for a moment and couldn't help sighing.

"I disagree," he said.

Cyril looked at him blankly.

Then Liao Ruming put his hands in front of him, and he said, "It's my problem, right...forget it." He said sincerely, "You'd better tie me up...if this makes you feel more at ease .”

Cyril was silent for a long time, and then, his trembling hand rested on Liao Ruming's wrist.

An invisible ribbon appeared, binding Liao Ruming's left wrist with Cyril's right wrist.Now, he's literally tied up with him.
