I picked up a boyfriend in the infinite game

Calvin was dragged through a dark corridor. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Grayson's heavy breathing echoed in the empty space. A long trail of blood meandered behind Calvin.

When Song Guicheng woke up from the darkness, he knew that he had entered another scene.

"His" arms rubbed against the ground, his skin and flesh were separated, and a burning pain spread. His body seemed to be torn apart, and every inch of muscle was contracting in pain.

"Click, click," the sound of footsteps and the friction of fabric hits people's eardrums one by one, like the prelude to a death song.

Calvin's eyes were filled with dark shadows, his vision so blurred that even the darkness was tinged with a foamy color.

A feeling of relief surged in his heart, which made him have no desire to struggle at all.

Like a fish that had lost too many scales and could no longer return to the water, Calvin could no longer bear the pain that life had inflicted on him.

Death has become a relief for him.

Grayson dragged Calvin all the way to the end of the corridor. Unlike what Song Guicheng saw later, this place was now a cellar.

Looking in from the entrance, the cellar was dark and depressing. Waves of coldness came from below, penetrating into people's skin, making Calvin shiver uncontrollably.

"My dear child, I have no other choice," Grayson said, hugging Calvin gently and smoothing his hair. "The apple tree can no longer produce apples. I can only turn the apple orchard into a corn orchard."

This appearance was completely different from the one when he dragged Calvin just now.

Grayson gently touched Calvin's forehead. This kiss made the dying boy dazed. He couldn't remember how long it had been since his father caressed him, but the last time, he paid for it with his own life.

"Those apple trees were left to you by your mother. Don't you miss her all the time?" Grayson's tone suddenly changed from gentle to fierce. "Now, you can go and accompany them!"

The next second, Calvin's body suddenly lost weight and fell straight into the bottomless darkness. Something slipped out of his pocket before him and fell to the ground with a "click" sound.

Hearing the sound, Song Guicheng subconsciously lowered his head, his expression shocked for a moment, and he didn't even notice that he had regained his physical form.

Calvin Vikasa... Song Guicheng muttered the name several times, half-kneeling to feel the boy's heartbeat, which was very weak and almost stopped.

The palm of his hand was sticky and the touch was not unfamiliar, it was blood. He looked down and could only see the outline of his palm, which just covered Calvin's half-closed eyes.

The only sound in the silence was Song Guicheng's heartbeat, again and again, and the thing that fell out of Calvin's pocket was not far from the boy's body.

Song Guicheng twisted his fingers and slowly touched it. It felt cold and hard, and the thing was less than half the size of his palm.

His pupils suddenly contracted and his heartbeat quickened.

When he first got it in his hand, Song Guicheng was almost sure what it was, but he still didn't give up and touched it carefully again.

In his hand was a small metal apple, from the leaves to the stem to the round body, every detail was exquisite - exactly the same as the one Chu Wei gave him.

At the same time, a system prompt came to my ears without warning:

[Player Song Guicheng has completed the main quest. Do you want to leave the dungeon? The player will automatically leave after 30 seconds.]

[Warm Tips: If you refuse to leave this time, you can leave automatically when the dungeon exploration reaches 100%. ]

Complete the main mission? The sudden news made Song Guicheng's head dazed. He subconsciously looked at the apple in his hand. The system screen coated the metal with a layer of cold light.

Is the main quest completed by getting this necklace?

But he had obtained it before, and Zhang Yuncheng had encountered it before him, so why didn't the system judge it as completing the main task?

Or does it only count if you get this apple pendant in special scenarios or under special conditions?

Song Guicheng tightened his grip unconsciously, and the apple in his palm hurt him. Countless questions and guesses popped up in his head, but no one could answer them for him.

and……

He looked at the two options the system gave him, whether to leave the copy or not. This had never happened before, and the initiative had always been held by the system, but this time it was handed over to the player.

There are many secrets hidden behind this copy, including the priest, the church, the apple orchard, the huge tree, the strange hotel couple, and the relationship between Calvin and Chu Wei...

Does this really matter?

The glaring scarlet countdown changed on the screen, like the beating of a bright red heart, urging Song Guicheng to make a decision quickly.

His hands were still stained with Calvin's blood, which had solidified into brown stains.

The numbers on the screen kept getting smaller.

Song Guicheng only had time to consider one question: why did Calvin want to infiltrate the player's team?

He has never hurt any player, but has helped me a lot. If he is in the player camp, it means he is on the opposite side of the ghosts in the dungeon.

Wait, opposites?

If the inn couple were ghosts, Calvin and them were originally opposites. It was just that they were both NPCs, and due to the rules of the dungeon, Calvin could not avenge himself.

If you sneak into the player team...

The numbers on the screen started with 2, then 1, and finally became single digits.

Song Guicheng thought of Calvin's humble yet pious prayer in the dark, and it seemed as if he saw his former self.

The rain falls in different places and makes different sounds. No one is more complete than anyone else, and no one is not in the rain.

Song Guicheng exhaled softly, at least, at least until he could eat another candy and have another sweet dream...

He ultimately chose no.
