Please this player not to harass NPCs

I secretly made a pact with myself in my heart.

As long as I can meet him again in the next dungeon, I will listen to my inner voice and dedicate my all—no matter what the final result is, I will not regret it.

——Chu Mie

In the oppressive atmosphere, Teacher Gao said:

"Xi Qing, if this dungeon didn't collapse due to the clearing of grievances, what will happen to you after we leave?"

"I don't know too well." Xi Qing threw the empty bag on the ground and said, "This is the first time I have regained consciousness after my death. It is estimated that my memory will be erased next time the copy is refreshed!"

She might be the next Lin Xixi.

With the refresh of the copy, he was forced to experience the pain of death, and then he was forced to plunder the lives of all players.

"So does this mean..." Teacher Gao could no longer hide his pain calmly, and said with a choked voice, "Then Xiao Dou will become an NPC, and will repeat it over and over again..."

—Death?

Teacher Gao couldn't utter those two bloody words.

"Yes." Xi Qing looked at Teacher Gao, then laughed again: "So I want to destroy this copy."

Teacher Gao's eyes seemed to be lit, and they were amazingly bright: "Can it be destroyed?"

"can."

Shen Huaiyun immediately said: "Then we will help—"

"No need." Xi Qing interrupted him, and said with a serious expression: "Because this method is not suitable for those of you who want to work hard to capture the copy of the mirage. You have to work hard to survive, and then find a way to get everyone out of the mirage. .”

The implication is that she intends to destroy this dungeon with her life.

"Haha..." Teacher Gao suddenly laughed: "If I can destroy the copy of Silent Town before I die, then I deserve to die!"

The mirage took Dou Tongtong's life, so he destroyed this copy to commemorate the dead Dou Tongtong.

"Then let me help!"

Chu Mie thought to himself that since Xi Qing doesn't want the players to help, then he can still be an NPC, right?

Unexpectedly, Xi Qing said: "You don't need it either."

When Chu Mie was stunned, Xi Qing replied: "You are very special, although I can't say it, but you can't stop here."

"What do you mean?"

"You should not be an ordinary NPC. You and Shen Huaiyun are too familiar with each other, and even get along very well with players—" Xi Qing looked at him, and suddenly laughed: "You are also a player, right?"

"I……"

Chu Mie was stunned, he had never guessed this way before.

But the dream of the collapsed building that occasionally appeared in his mind, as well as the face of an unknown person... everything indicated that his identity as an NPC was in doubt.

Shen Huaiyun's eyes flickered, and he also turned his head suddenly to look at Chu Mie.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Xi Qing suddenly walked up to Teacher Gao, and carried Teacher Gao on her back steadily when no one expected it.

Ye Zhi was dumbfounded: "It's not...you!"

Xi Qing glanced at him lazily: "Why are you surprised? I'm not even human anymore, so of course I can carry Teacher Gao on my back!"

"Are you leaving?" Seeing her posture, Shen Huaiyun asked the question in his mind: "I don't understand why Mirage refuses to admit that you are a player. Don't you have Mirage's mobile phone?"

"Because my body has been invaded and damaged!" Xi Qing raised her head and showed her neck: "When Lin Xixi used my body before, a player noticed something strange and cut my throat."

She let go - there was no scar on her neck now.

Shen Huaiyun fell silent.

"Okay, let's go!" Xi Qing heard Chu Mie say to her, "Lin Xixi asked me to convey a word."

Xi Qing paused, turned her head and said, "What?"

"She asked me to tell you I'm sorry."

"..." Xi Qing said silently, "Understood."

"Xi Qing."

"what happened again?"

This time it was not Chu Mie who called her, but Shen Huaiyun.

"Li Nayan...what should I do?"

As soon as these words came out, it seemed as if she had poked her sore spot, causing her eyes to turn red quickly, and she deliberately pretended not to care: "He is just my ex-boyfriend—"

"But Li Nayan didn't regard you as an ex-girlfriend."

Xi Qing froze in place, bit her lips, resisted the soreness in her eyes, turned her face away and said, "Tell him, just treat it as me breaking up with him unilaterally."

As she said that, Xi Qing blinked desperately to prevent tears from gushing out of her eyes.

Shen Huaiyun sighed and said, "I can help you convey your words, are you sure you only want to say this?"

"I……"

"Xi Qing, you still have someone you care about." Teacher Gao felt sorry for Xi Qing, and comforted: "Tell him what you want to say, and don't leave regrets for yourself and him."

Xi Qing's expression was a little tense.

"Let me down first."

Xi Qing put down Teacher Gao as she said, and lowered her head for a long time, tears finally fell down.

"I regret it..." Xi Qing choked and said, "I shouldn't have quarreled with him, I shouldn't... just sneaked away without saying a word..."

"I really miss him."

"I started to regret it the day after I left, so when I came to Mo Town, I desperately wanted to survive. But I couldn't help it... I worked very hard!"

"I... I used up all the props to survive, I really worked hard..."

Chu Mie looked at her seriously and calmly, encouraging her to finish what she wanted to say with his eyes.

Shen Huaiyun was more straightforward: "Then what else do you want to say?"

Xi Qing was taken aback, her ears turned red and she said, "What I said before doesn't count! I'll say it again!"

"But," Shen Huaiyun shook the phone: "I've already recorded it."

Chu Mie: "..." You have brought out the functions of the mirage phone to the extreme.

Xi Qing: "...Delete it for me!!!"

Shen Huaiyun looked innocent.

"Forget it." Xi Qing wiped away her tears, but her mood calmed down because of this interruption.She recalled the details of her and Li Nayan being together, and said with a gentle smile: "Please give me some words-I regret that the last time we met ended in a bad mood."

"If I can, I can calm down and listen to you more during the last quarrel, maybe everything will be different."

"Also," Xi Qing lowered her eyes in embarrassment, "Li Nayan, I... like you."

"Okay." Shen Huaiyun didn't play around like before, and said seriously: "I will convey these words well."

"Thank you."

Xi Qing bowed to everyone, and then carried Teacher Gao on her back: "I hope you can return to reality one day."

Shen Huaiyun said firmly: "There will be, there will definitely be."

Chu Mie looked at Shen Huaiyun's side face, his eyes were unprecedentedly focused and moved.

Teacher Gao suddenly said, "Wait."

Xi Qing paused and asked, "Teacher Gao?"

"Children." Teacher Gao stretched his brows and eyes, and looked at the group of young people softly and deeply:

"A place like Mirage is full of damp and rotten mud, where there is no light all year round, and flowers of sin and despair are most likely to grow."

"Man is like a plant that grows towards light, it cannot survive in such an environment; but there are always some people who survive in such a hell-living their own hope and the hope of others .”

"So the humanity and goodwill that Mirage has been obsessed with erasing will also become your invincible weapon."

Shen Huaiyun also stared at Teacher Gao, and finally bowed deeply respectfully: "I see, Teacher Gao."

Ye Zhi also bowed: "Take care, Teacher Gao."

Teacher Gao nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of the three of them, Xi Qing disappeared from sight with Teacher Gao behind her back.

…………

Ye Zhi stood in front of the beam of light, looked at Shen Huaiyun and said in silence for a moment: "Thank you very much for this dungeon."

"There is nothing to thank." Shen Huaiyun didn't care about these things: "It's all working together."

Ye Zhi nodded, and shifted his gaze to Chu Mie.

Shen Huaiyun instinctively blocked Ye Zhi's inquiring sight with a posture of protecting him.

Looking at Shen Huaiyun's tall back, Chu Mie suddenly remembered what Xi Qing said—indeed, when time is limited and the future is uncertain, what he should cherish is the present instead of worrying about the future all day long.

Maybe he will indeed be wiped out by the mirage one day, but he really doesn't want to lose all opportunities before he has time to say anything.

It's time to make a decision.

…………

Seeing Shen Huaiyun's protective attitude towards Chu Mie, Ye Zhi remembered his similar protective attitude towards that NPC named "Vincent". Although he knew that Shen Huaiyun might not like to listen to what he was going to say, he still reminded:

"It is best to keep the distance between the player and the NPC."

"Because if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces."

Shen Huaiyun frowned, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes, but he still said: "Thank you for reminding me, I still know this point of propriety."

Ye Zhi knew that Shen Huaiyun was a little angry, and said apologetically, "I offended you."

[Didi, the grievances in the silent town copy are cleared. 】

[The dungeon is about to collapse, please leave the player as soon as possible. 】

Chu Mie said softly, "It's Xi Qing and Teacher Gao."

They cleared up the grievances of the dungeon, and made this dungeon that killed batch after batch of players completely disappear.

"I have to go now."

Ye Zhi nodded at Shen Huaiyun, and walked into the beam of light.

Only Shen Huaiyun and Chu Mie were left at the scene.

"Shen Huaiyun."

Chu Mie was the first to break the silence. He looked at Shen Huaiyun and asked, "Can we meet again in the next dungeon?"

Shen Huaiyun said without hesitation: "It will definitely be possible."

Chu Mie: "I believe in you."

These words seemed to give him infinite strength.

He stepped forward and took Shen Huaiyun's hand, staring deeply at Shen Huaiyun: "If we can meet again in the next dungeon, I want to tell you something."

Shen Huaiyun rarely saw him with a mysterious look: "What are you talking about?"

Chu Mi shook his head and said, "Secret."

"Okay!" Shen Huaiyun had no choice but to put away his curiosity, shook his little hand, and joked with a smile: "Why are you still holding it? Don't you let go?"

"Not loose."

Facing Shen Huaiyun's increasingly hot and bright eyes, Chu Mie continued, "This time, let's go out together."

Shen Huaiyun grinned, grabbed Chu Mie's hand and said, "Okay!"

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked into the beam of light, and finally the beam of light disappeared, leaving only the silent tombstone.

…………

Xi Qing was sitting on the roof covered in blood, and there were piles of corpses of townspeople under the house.She fiddled with the blood-stained prayer beads on her wrists casually - she heard from Teacher Gao that it was a gift from Dou Tongtong.

The sky in the distance began to collapse, and the debris floated into the endless void. The entire silent town was collapsing from the edge, and the bottomless darkness was approaching where she was.

"Cough cough! Cough... vomit—"

Xi Qing suddenly felt a tickle in her throat and coughed up blood.

She was also dying.

"I'm exhausted." She muttered vaguely, then calmly slumped on the roof, fiddled with the badly damaged rabbit doll: "It's quite dirty."

Looking at the empty sky, she murmured, "So the sky looks like this after the dungeon collapsed," and then closed her eyes wearily.

She remembered that her encounter with Li Nayan was particularly interesting.

It was a Christmas night.

She passed a stall, picked up some baubles, and planned to get by this Christmas.

The owner of the stall was an old woman. Looking at her, she smiled and asked, "Is the little girl spending Christmas alone?"

"Yes, Grandma."

"Well, I'll give you an apple." The stall owner said with a smile, "This is the last apple!"

Xi Qing smiled "puchi" and said, "Thank you grandma!"

A young man wearing glasses walked over from the booth next to him, laughed and joked, "Grandma, you said the same thing when I got the apple before."

She heard the sound and turned her face to look at the man - he was a man with a refined and gentle smile.

The stall owner also said with a smile: "Every apple is the last one, and it is unique.

"That's true." The man smiled heartily, and turned his face to look at Xi Qing.

She gave him a polite smile.

The man was startled for a moment, then his face flushed.

From then on, there was another person named "Li Nayan" by her side.

If you ask what kind of person it is.

She thought, all she could say was—

That was someone who made her willing to risk her life and want to return to him.

The author says:

This dungeon really has a lot of knives, so Kai Zi will try to write a shorter and less serious dungeon in the next dungeon.You can also see that Baa Baa has decided to recognize his own heart (ω) so Kaiko will sprinkle more sugar in the next dungeon to comfort everyone's hurt hearts~

Another setting to remember, it will be useful in later copies - about player qualifications: mobile phones and bodies that have not been occupied or damaged.
