This villain, please exercise some restraint.

An Xu turned around, and the pupils under his lenses reflected the rare and rather embarrassed boy with short white hair running towards him.

Perhaps it was because he had been running for a long time, but at this moment, Shi Si's delicate face, which had a normal complexion, was completely pale.

Those two lips that were already bloodless looked even more pale and weak at this moment.

Thin beads of sweat almost wet the broken hair on his forehead. Compared with the previous pursuit and encirclement of him when he was a restraint; when he was a Shi Si, he was able to attack with ease and have a winning chance. At this moment, the white-haired boy , there is rare pain and fatigue on his face.

His breathing was loud, so loud that even if An Xu was a certain distance away from him, he could still faintly hear the overwhelmed breathing between his lips and teeth.

Compared to Shi Si, who was swaying and running away in embarrassment, the two people chasing him in uniform black suits looked much more calm.

Maybe his body was already overwhelmed, or maybe he was so eager to escape that he could not see the road clearly under his feet.

In short, An Xu blinked and saw that the white-haired boy accidentally tripped over a stone under his feet and fell directly in front of him.

The next moment, very quickly, two men in black clothes behind him, one on the left and one on the right, firmly controlled the arms of the white-haired boy.

Shi Si seemed to still want to struggle, but the third man in black wearing sunglasses who suddenly appeared sneered, pierced the syringe in his hand directly into the white-haired boy's exposed neck, and then quickly injected the colorless liquid complete.

This injection seemed to be quite effective. An Xu saw Shi Si's body twitch briefly for a few times, then collapsed and stopped struggling.

"Escape? You like to escape, right? You like to take advantage of our unfamiliarity with this place to sneak away from us, right? I admit that you are a little clever, but in the face of absolute strength, your little tricks are totally insufficient."

"Maybe you do have good weapons and good God-given abilities, but it's a pity that you can't use them at all, right?"

The man in black quickly pulled out the needle, and the man in black didn't even care about the neck where blood was leaking out due to the needle being pulled out.

He raised his foot and kicked the white-haired boy who seemed to be unconscious, and put away the syringe in his hand.

"take away."

He gave the order.

The two men in black dragged Shi Si away like a dog.

An Xu stared at Shi Si like that and felt that his fingertips were trembling and feeling cold.

Shi Si... What kind of existence did Temperance provoke, and finally ended up like this? Chixuan...isn't this...that pervert?

Thinking of what Chixuan had done, An Xu couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach, but Shi Si... Shi Si was restrained - should he just watch indifferently?

At some point, An Xu thought about a lot. He thought about the seemingly endless deliberate targeting that stemmed from restraint; he thought about the heartfelt appreciation and joy when he was helped by Shi Si; he also thought about his own powerlessness and... ..forced to do that kind of thing——

If you think about it carefully, neither Shi Si... nor Chi Xuan are kind-hearted people. Now the two are dog-eat-dog, and the black eats the black. It can be said to be a pretty perfect result.

but--

An Xu couldn't help but glance at Shi Si's face, which was as white as paper, and his neck, which was still bleeding... It was undeniable that when he saw Shi Si like this, although his reason told him that this was just what he deserved, he - —

An Xu subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his heart, confusion and confusion flashed across his face.

Why does he feel inexplicably uncomfortable?

Is what is happening in front of him the purest coincidence... or is it... another plot against him?

An Xu didn't know. He felt that his head was in a mess. It was so messed up that he couldn't find the source of his thoughts or the end of his thoughts.

The men in black had dragged Shi Si to the teleportation point. They seemed not to have paid attention to An Xu's existence at all. They only had prey in their eyes.

Shi Si is a player...and players, no matter how they are treated, will never really die in this game world.

No matter how bad it is, it's just a loss of a lot of experience points, and then... a new life.

Thinking of this, An Xu's clenched fingers relaxed a little.

But then, the word "temperance" emerged in his mind, causing his fingers that had just been relaxed to tighten again.

But... Shi Si is Temperance... and Temperance is an NPC. If Shi Si is just an NPC with the identity of a player, then...

Once he disappears, he never appears again.

Like...the Fool...just like...the Hanged Man.

An Xu blinked his dry eyes.

It is undeniable that Temperance has brought him too many targets and injuries, and even now, he still doesn't understand why Temperance targets him like that.

He guessed that maybe it was because of his "temperance" status. He once felt that it was his "temperance" status that made him choose to target himself as a last resort.

This conjecture is completely valid, because...the second generation of Temperance, that short boy, also showed considerable malice towards him.

If this was the reason, An Xu felt that he could understand.

But... why... why when temperance breaks away from that identity, you can still hurt yourself and control... yourself without hesitation.

You shouldn't...shouldn't save him. Even if he looks very embarrassed and miserable now, and even his life seems to be in danger...I have no reason to help him.

An Xu told himself this in his heart.

But the next moment, his feet subconsciously took a few steps forward.

"But...if he only has one life, if-"

An Xu murmured to himself.

He thought of the disciples of the Sword Sect who had disappeared because of his participation. Their existence was so vivid that he would have thought that... these NPCs were all living people.

"He has wantonly hurt so many people...whether they are NPCs or players...his current fate is completely deserved..."

An Xu was still mentally building himself up, and this time, he should choose to sit on the sidelines.

Holding her glasses on the bridge of her nose, An Xu felt that she was making a very difficult decision.

But he also knew very well that in the face of this choice, any player who had the same experience as him would choose to watch without hesitation.

If you don't add insult to injury, it's pretty good.

and so--

In just a short moment, An Xu thought a lot, and saw the figures of several people and the white-haired boy being dragged about to disappear at the teleportation point.

While An Xu was convincing himself over and over again, he couldn't stop raising his hand.

He didn't know why he did this. Maybe it was because Shi Si made him feel too much like a real existence. Maybe... it was some other reason.

In short, when he thought that this game world would probably lack Shi Si's existence forever, his mood was particularly complicated.

happy? Maybe will.

Sad? Maybe a little bit, after all, he once admired Shi Si very much and regarded him as a friend.

"I'm sorry, but I still want to say that those who are about to leave, I'm afraid I can't take this person away easily right now."

An Xu opened his mouth, facing a few cold glances that were thrown at him in an instant, with a calm expression on his face.
