Infinite Trial from the Giant

Seeing Liz's message, Xia Tian raised his eyebrows, then got up and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Liz, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. Seeing Xia Tian open the door, Liz smiled charmingly and flexibly went into Xia Tian's room.

"You haven't gone back yet." Xia Tian closed the door casually, put on a smile on his face and spoke.

"I was planning to leave, so I came to see if you have any thoughts about me." As she spoke, Liz sat on the table by the window, leaning forward slightly, showing her skills to Xia Tian, ​​and said seductively, "Don't you want to try? I have good skills."

The reason why Liz didn't go back immediately after the death of the Taurus King was because she was waiting for this moment. She wanted to try to deepen the "connection" between herself and Xia Tian before leaving.

But Xia Tian didn't buy it.

"If it were someone else, maybe, but I'm a virgin and I'm quite concerned about what I've used." Still smiling, Xia Tian gave his response.

With a cold face, Liz of course understood what Xia Tian meant. After being rejected so decisively, she was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Really? Forget it. If you can survive, I hope that when we meet next time, we can leave some good memories for each other. Goodbye." After that, Liz had no intention of dawdling any longer. She turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of Xia Tian.

"It should be if you can survive." Looking at the place where Liz disappeared, Xia Tian said casually, and then shifted his attention back to his backpack menu.

Liz's departure did not have much impact on Xia Tian, ​​but it had a huge impact on Kirito, which directly caused him to wake up Xia Tian who was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night.

In addition to Xia Tian, ​​Loki was also woken up by the anxious Kirito. As for Asuna, Kirito did not call her.

"Liz is missing. I was about to send her a message just now, but I found that she disappeared from my friend list. Is she in your friend list?"

Although his face was pale and his tone was anxious, Kirito seemed to still maintain a certain rationality, knowing that the most important thing was to find Liz's whereabouts.

"Let me check." Loki quickly opened his friend list, "I don't have it here either."

"Yeah, me too." Although he already knew it, Xia Tian still checked his friend list and gave an answer.

Seeing this, Kirito leaned back in his chair dejectedly.

Without the friend list, Kirito couldn't think of any way to find Liz, and most importantly, he had never thought that such a thing would happen. The past scenes of his time with Liz flashed through his mind, and Kirito completely lost his spirit. The worst result he could think of was that Liz encountered the same thing as Linde, and if that was the case, what should he do?

Find the other party and take revenge?

Fortunately, the current situation is that Liz has simply disappeared from the friend list, rather than appearing dead in the friend list, which gives Kirito a little hope.

Maybe Liz just deleted the friend herself.

But why did she do that?

Loki first looked at Xia Tian, ​​then turned to look at Kirito, and then said: "Before this, have you communicated with her? Do you know where she might go?"

Obviously, Loki also thought of the worst outcome, but he didn't mention it at all, and directly guided Kirito to consider the possibility that 'Liz might have just deleted her friend list and went somewhere else'.

Shaking his head, Kirito replied, "After coming up from the second floor, she seemed to have become a different person. When I followed her here, she just told me that she wanted to be alone and asked me to leave her alone for the time being."

Loki opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and then looked at Xia Tian for help.

After all, they were together day and night, and shared the same bed, but she didn't even say goodbye before leaving? What a terrible woman.

After secretly lowering Liz's impression score, Xia Tian spoke.

"Kirito, actually Liz told me the reason and the plan to disappear before."

As soon as these words came out, Kirito, who was sitting on the chair with his head down, suddenly raised his head and stood up, moving in front of Xia Tian.

"What did she tell you?"

"Don't worry, I've been thinking about finding a good time to tell you." After comforting Kirito and asking him to sit down first, Xia Tian slowly continued, "I think you should be able to see, Kirito, that Liz doesn't like fighting those monsters."

Listening to Xia Tian's words, Kirito nodded: "Well, she told me that it was because she was afraid of death, and I promised her that I would protect her."

"She believes in you, but that's why she's always been too embarrassed to ask you to quit this dangerous situation. She knows you'll be embarrassed, so she's been gritting her teeth and holding on."

"However, this second-floor boss battle has completely destroyed her will to continue. Coupled with the incident with Lind, she said she felt the pressure that made her breathless, so she chose to leave directly. Her purpose was also to not make things difficult for you because of her."

"She said that if this game ever ends one day, and if you can forgive her afterwards, the two of you will meet again in the real world."

After hearing Xia Tian's words, Kirito was silent for several minutes before he said, "Really?"

Of course it's a lie, it's impossible for you to meet again.

"Yeah." Although he thought so, there was no trace of flaws on Xia Tian's face.

"The day when the game ends?" Kirito muttered softly, then he stood up, looked at Xia Tian and said seriously: "Thank you, Xia Tian." After that, he turned around and left silently.

Seeing Kirito leave, Loki looked at Xia Tian suspiciously: "Why didn't you tell me about this at the beginning?" Then he sighed: "Hey, I don't know what will become of Kirito. I hope he won't be devastated by this."

Like Loki, Xia Tian also had such concerns. Wasn't the purpose of agreeing to cooperate with Liz to extract a certain value from Kirito? If Kirito is really devastated by this incident, then he will have no value. However, Xia Tian had already prepared for this situation. Unless Liz's existence was completely wiped out by the arena after she left, so that everyone including Kirito would not remember that such a person existed, otherwise, Kirito would definitely become like this.

Rather, it is the best outcome for Liz to leave at this time. After all, the longer they spend together, the greater the impact of Liz's departure will have on Kirito. So Xia Tian is quite satisfied with Liz's departure at this time. The only flaw is that Liz did not say goodbye properly and did not adjust Kirito's mood, so that he has to clean up the mess himself.

"I didn't say it at first because I wanted to see how Kirito would react. Liz just left, not died. Judging from what she said, she will definitely not go to the front line to fight monsters again. Instead, she will choose to hide in a safe place and wait for the day when the game is completed. If Kirito really cares about her that much, what he should do now is to cheer up and work hard to complete the game in order to meet Liz again."

Xia Tian said as he glanced at Loki.

This is what is called a goal, just like you want to go back and see your father.

What Xia Tian said just now is the best way to deal with the situation that he can think of at the moment. If Kirito really has deep feelings for Liz, then this will become Kirito's next goal. If Kirito's feelings for Liz are not that deep, then it will not have much impact, and he will forget about Liz in a few months.

In short, the matter of Liz's departure has come to a temporary end. The next morning, Xia Tian and Loki told Asuna about it. When the three saw Kirito again, he seemed to have returned to normal and took the initiative to propose to go back to the fork in the road where they had just reached the third floor to accept an important task. Xia Tian and the other two of course gladly accepted it and set off on the journey together under the leadership of Kirito.
