This villain, please exercise some restraint.

Silently watching the magician disappear, silently watching the girl named Xia Xiaotong and the boy with long red hair walk into the teleportation array and then disappear.

Setsunao stood under a tree and remained silent until the two of them disappeared long ago.

"Temperance, the magician has betrayed you."

A clear voice sounded low in his ears, mixed with warm breath.

Jiezhi knew it was that insect without even looking.

"It's surprising, Father... No, Temperance, only I, only I will be truly loyal to you, you have to know-"

"Nothing surprising."

Temperance turned back and interrupted the words of the boy in red beside him, "I have long seen that he does not have any reservations about me, but there is some use in keeping him."

"Besides, although he had his own little thoughts, he actually didn't do anything that was detrimental to my plan, so I never exposed him."

"But now, it seems that he... doesn't want to continue and has actively chosen to quit."

"He chose to quit at this time, and the magician card... has been used to its fullest."

"He didn't do anything to disrupt the plan until his death, right?"

"Mian" snorted, narrowed his phoenix eyes, and asked, "Really not?"

"No." Temperance answered firmly.

He believed in his own eyes and ears, and what the magician said before his death not only confirmed that this guy had reservations about himself, but also gave him a deeper understanding of the world.

The Fool is an NPC and the Magician is an NPC. So, am I also an NPC?

What does npc mean?

The protagonist group, including many people who appear in this world, seem to have some common abilities, and each has... special abilities.

They call themselves "players," and they know they "can't die."

So, what is the significance of the mission of "World"?

He was also puzzled by this issue, but the appearance of the woman in the desert gave him a revelation.

It turns out that although the "player" is physically immortal, the existence of the invisible and intangible "consciousness" is perishable.

The key to completing this task perfectly does not lie in the damage to the protagonist's body, but in consciousness.

He has truly seen the effectiveness of the "Slave" Gu, and this Gu is targeting consciousness.

Even though he played the magician card with selfish motives, Temperance did not deny that the existence of this person made his understanding of the mission and the world much clearer.

The magician took him out of the strange cycle of tasks, and that was enough.

Listening to Jie Ji's rather determined words, the words that "sleep" came to his lips, rolled in circles, and then swallowed them calmly.

Should we tell Temperance about the four words that Temperance heard before the magician died?

When father finds out, his expression will surely be very exciting, right?

But - why should we "beware of bugs"?

I just...just want to help my father and make him happy——

Why is a "bug" with "filial piety" being guarded against?

"Mian" lowered his head, his crow-feather eyelashes fluttering. Because of this question, he briefly chose silence.

"How is the arrangement for the tower climbing trial going?"

Temperance shifted his gaze, staring at the place where the magician disappeared, and asked the boy beside him.

"Ready."

"Mian" snorted softly and answered quite confidently.

"This will be a... one-sided... massacre."

“Whatever you wish to die in, you will get what you wish for.”

Temperance nodded, turned his head, and disappeared.

Then, all we have to do is wait for the protagonist group and the woman to participate in the trial at the same time.

That woman was not dead. Now he not only confirmed it from the magician, but just now, he also got confirmation from the protagonist.

well.

If everything goes well, when his mission is successfully completed, that annoying bug will "exit".

Even the "protagonist group" who seemed to be immortal in body was found to have weaknesses by him... A small Gu insect, even the Gu King, would not be a perfect existence.

If that bug cannot be fully used by you, then... find an opportunity to kill it.

Now, it's time to talk to that person.

Jiezhi stood on an unnamed mountain peak in the Central Plains, looking towards the south. He knew that that was where Southern Xinjiang was located.

......

City A First People's Hospital, psychological consultation room.

In the end, Song Xiaoyun couldn't defeat Xia Xiaotong and once again went for so-called psychological treatment.

"Sister Xiaoyun, how are you feeling today? Do you feel that... the world today... um... has become more beautiful?"

The woman walked out of the consulting room door and looked through the corridor window at the gray sky outside.

The large swathes of dark clouds there clearly showed signs of rain.

"Has it become beautiful? It seems...it's going to rain."

"But the sky before the storm comes is also beautiful."

A smile appeared on Song Xiaoyun's lips. During this period, Xiaotong's care for her could be said to be meticulous.

She always runs for herself and arranges everything well.

This feeling of having a family... Every time she thought about it, the tip of her nose couldn't help but feel slightly sour.

She was really lucky that at her most desperate moment, when she wanted to give up, she would find restraint.

Then, under the guidance of Temperance, I found friends like Xia Xiaotong and Ye Jiang who were so good that they made me want to cry.

During this time, she admitted that she was living a happy life.

Although in the end she still failed to retain Xu Miao, who was already disappointed, they were able to talk things over in that conversation.

The so-called breakup because there was no freshness was just a lame reason that Xu Miao tried hard to find.

Knowing that her love was not lost to betrayal, she was somewhat relieved.

As for his useless brother, he didn't show up during this period. From what he heard from people around his house, he was addicted to "Final Destiny" to the point of quarreling with his parents.

Later, it was said that there was an NPC named "Magician" who played tricks on him all day long, following him around like a shadow, leaving him with no gaming experience at all.

So out of anger, I gave up traveling.

The noise during this period also made the parents at home realize that their child was ineffective. After summing up, it seemed that they sent the kid directly to the factory.

Judging from the several phone calls from home that have come in from time to time these days, it seems that the focus of her parents' attention has been helplessly placed on her.

But it's a pity - she has slowly stood up from the trough, and it seems that she doesn't need it anymore.

What she wants to do more now is to live a good life and carve out a niche in her career.

With friends like Xia Xiaotong around, it would be a good choice to occasionally form a team to play games.

She didn't choose to accept Xia Xiaotong's financial help. She had the skills and feet, so how could she take other people's money in vain?

What she wants, she should always fight for.

She has already contacted the crew and won the role of a supporting actress with a relatively large number of roles. After taking the day off tomorrow, she will devote herself to work with a new attitude.

Thinking of this, Song Xiaoyun's eyes filled with hope.

However, before joining the group for filming, there was one person she always couldn't worry about - Temperance.

In her mind, Controlling this NPC is more than just a game character. She doesn't know how to position such an existence, but unknowingly, this virtual character occupies a large place in her heart. weight.

What she had promised him had not yet been fulfilled.

But - today is different from the past. She is the brand new Song Xiaoyun now, not the hopeless one who just plays out the last "play" step by step like a puppet on strings according to a controlled plan.

In friendship, in the warmth of "home", she regained her life, and she should not sink in the darkness.
