A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

The puppet's finger suddenly pointed downward, and with her movement, a body fell from the ceiling and fell heavily in front of Fang Shiqing.

"—"

The fallen body was tall and curled up stiffly in what seemed to be a painful posture.It was wearing a very plain uniform, which Fang Shiqing was already very familiar with, it was...Xiao Fengdi's.

--impossible.

He felt he could barely breathe.He didn't want to face it, but if it was true, he had to face it.

He stretched out his hand, put it on the corpse's shoulder tremblingly, and turned it over little by little.With the movement of flipping, its face was finally exposed.Then--

"..."

Then, Fang Shiqing fell into a strange silence.

"Did you see clearly?" Seeing that he kept his head down and didn't speak, the girl sighed and said, "You really don't want to die until you reach the Yellow River, and I don't want to make you feel so uncomfortable, but you won't give up otherwise. .Okay, Shiqing, he is dead, but you are still alive. Get yourself together, we have to leave quickly, and it will be dawn soon—”

Fang Shiqing stood up abruptly.The girl was taken aback, but he didn't look at her at all, he just turned around in a hurry and opened the door behind the dark room.

The girl inside the door raised her head in surprise, and said in surprise: "Shi Qing! What's the matter? You suddenly pushed against the door, did something happen outside?"

"..."

Fang Shiqing didn't answer, but looked at her face and fell into an even weirder silence.

After a long while, he silently closed the door again, completely ignoring the movements and voices inside the door, and turned his head to ask:

"When did you bring me into this illusion?"

"..."

The girl's expression moved slightly, "What are you talking about? What illusion?"

"Stop pretending," Fang Shiqing said helplessly, "It's useless to pretend, it really can't be pretended."

Because, except for himself, everyone here—living or dead, regardless of clothing and size—all have the same face.

That is, the face of BOSS himself.

God knows how unsuitable it is for this female face to appear on a male-shaped body-after seeing that face, no matter how many worries and fears I had before, they were all replaced by irony and laughter.

When Xiao Fengdi described the illusion to him before, he didn't feel anything when he mentioned that everyone in it had the same face, until now he saw it with his own eyes, and he finally understood...

Who can't see this kind of illusion? !

The girl wrung her hands together and said nothing for a while.

Fang Shiqing pointed to the door of the dark room: "I think it should be when I came out from here?"

At the moment when the scene was switched, he directly stepped into the illusion prepared by the other party.

"... so what?"

The girl finally opened her mouth, looking like she was broken, "Anyway, this entire toy factory is my territory. In my home, it is my right as the master to bring you as guests into any place."

"But why did you do this?" Fang Shiqing asked, "What is your purpose in bringing me into the illusion?"

The other party didn't answer, just made a gesture, and then the "corpse" on the ground turned into green smoke and disappeared.

"Why do you have to resist?" She answered irrelevantly, "Shiqing, am I that annoying to you? I just want someone to love me. The father who once said that he loved me no longer sees it after he has a new love. Me, the man who once said he loved me killed me with his own hands—I don't understand, is it such an unforgivable thing to want someone's love?"

"I thought you could understand me," she sat down unsteadily on the chair next to her, "but you can't. Far from it—you've always wanted to wipe me out, haven't you?"

Fang Shiqing's mood is very complicated.He couldn't deny this, after all, they appeared in this dungeon just to defeat the boss and pass the level.

He was silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry. I... can understand your feelings, but I don't agree with your actions."

It's normal to want someone's love, but you can't force it.No one is obliged to love anyone, excessive demands will only cause trouble for others.

"And... until now, I won't lie to you," he took a deep breath and said honestly, "I don't want to hurt you, but we have our own purpose. In order to let ourselves live and return Home, we must accomplish this—"

In order to achieve his goal, he must break through the difficulties in front of him.

"So I can't stay. If you won't let me go, I'll figure it out myself."

The conflict between him and the BOSS is based on the fundamental mechanism of the game and is irreconcilable. BOSS needs players as food, and players need to destroy BOSS.The two sides are enemies in the first place, and it is unrealistic to expect the other party to show respect to him.

Fang Shiqing was thinking about what to do next. Did Xiao Fengdi say how to break the illusion from the inside?

It seems that it can only rely on willpower, can you go out if the willpower is strong enough?

He sat down with his back against the wall, and began to concentrate desperately, thinking about the situation outside over and over again in his mind.

The room fell into a moment of stagnation.

One of them was sitting on a chair, and the other was staring at the ground.The girl's face was full of anger, while Fang Shiqing gradually fell into a void.

From the outside, what would he look like now?Did you faint to the ground the moment you stepped out of the dark room?

That being the case, Xiao Fengdi didn't actually leave the accounting room.If he is found to be dragged into the illusion, will the boss try to wake him up for help?

...Speaking of which, it seems that he has never been called by the name of the boss.

He imagined how Xiao Fengdi would call him by his name as intimately as anyone else, but his face flushed all of a sudden, and he quickly dismissed the idea.

Unexpectedly, it was only after such a turn of his mind that he seemed to vaguely hear someone calling him.Just when he wanted to listen carefully——

"--enough!"

The girl finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke.

"I lost. I would like to admit defeat. I will send you out."

"...Gambling?" Fang Shiqing didn't know why, "What are you betting on?"

With a cold face, the girl came up and grabbed him.

Everything around quickly twisted and dissipated like fog, and then turned into pitch black.Fang Shiqing only felt that he was falling downwards in the darkness, and finally landed on the ground with a bang.

He opened his eyes suddenly.

In front of him was the ceiling of the accounting room, and the overhead fluorescent lights were on.He was panting heavily as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, barely squinting his eyes, trying to block the glare of the light.

For some reason, a violent exhaustion swept over his whole body, and he felt like he was run over by a truck. Is this the sequelae of escaping from the illusion?

"Shiqing, you finally woke up!" You Qingyu's voice sounded like a pleasant surprise.

He was leaning against someone, and the other person thoughtfully extended his hand to cover his eyes, helping to block the light.

Fang Shiqing immediately grabbed the opponent's hand: "...Brother Xiao?"

"Well," the other party paused, and held him backhand, "I'm here."

Hearing the other party's response, Fang Shiqing was finally relieved.The shadow left in the illusion before finally dissipated completely: he knew that Xiao Fengdi's accident would not be so easy.

"..." You Qingyu said, "Can you stop ignoring me?"

After a little slowing down, Fang Shiqing quickly got up.He found that he had indeed fallen near the entrance of the darkroom, probably because Xiao Fengdi caught him the moment he fell.

You Qingyu squatted beside him, looking at his face worriedly; Zhao Jun had also been moved out and was still in a coma.

He nodded at the other party, turned his head, and saw a girl in a long black dress standing there with an uneasy expression beside the table not far away, staring at him complainingly.

"Why are you here?"

Fang Shiqing was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the BOSS was really in this room, and the others were still acting as if they were used to it.

The girl didn't answer, but just continued to stare at him with the momentum to stare him out of a hole.

Xiao Fengdi then stood up, clapped his hands and said, "You lost. I would like to accept the bet, and don't forget the terms agreed before."

"..."

"Gambling?" Fang Shiqing said in surprise, "Boss, did you bet with her?"

"Well. Now that I have won, according to the agreement, she should send us away safely."

Xiao Fengdi did not explain the specific content of the bet.Fang Shiqing guessed that it was probably related to the illusion just now. Could it be that they were betting on whether he would abandon his teammates and leave alone?

If that's the case... The boss really trusts him.

After a long time, the girl finally looked away, kicked the cabinet next to her as if venting her anger, and her translucent legs passed through the cabinet directly.

"...I lost. That's right, I completely misjudged this time. The pure gay guy who can't fall in love with women, I only saw it in picture books when I was a child-who would have thought that there would be a day when I would meet Ah, even if we meet, we will be two! In our place, gender has never been an obstacle to love, and there has never been a precedent where a man can only fall in love with a man—"

Xiao Fengdi completely ignored her complaints.Fang Shiqing was directly confused: "Wait, what are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid now!" the girl screamed angrily, "Isn't this too much? Take the last piece of 'me', and call all your acquaintances, and I'll give it to you." You go out!"

After finishing speaking, she rushed out of the door as if she couldn't bear to stay here any longer.

Fang Shiqing was stunned.

You Qingyu didn't even lift his eyelids.She experienced too many embarrassing things this night, and now she has been able to habitually think that she is deaf and blind.

She calmly packed up the black box on the table, placed it on Zhao Jun's lap, and pushed up the chair on which Zhao Jun was placed: "Then let's hurry up and get everyone else together? Get over it early, Lest you have long nights and dreams."

Fang Shiqing didn't react at all.

"Wait...wait a minute," he stammered, "well, just now she..."

"I'll talk about it later," Xiao Fengdi stopped him, "let's end this dungeon now."

He looked very calm.After speaking, he pushed the chair where Zhao Jun was placed, and left the room first.

Fang Shiqing couldn't be so indifferent at all, he now felt that his whole body was about to explode.

The so-called homophobia means being in the closet... No, it seems that this sentence cannot be used here.But the meaning is the same. A real straight man is never afraid of making jokes without limits. Only people who hide their orientation are particularly sensitive to remarks in this regard. He feels that he is in such a state now.

That must have looked particularly suspicious.However, he couldn't control it at all, and for a while, it seemed that his whole body was emitting white smoke.

"Shiqing," You Qingyu opened the door, and called out to him with deep meaning, "Okay, the long march of thousands of miles is just short of the last step, please calm down."

……All right.

What they said was correct, business was more important, so he could only forcefully suppress all his emotions.

Speaking of which, Xiao Fengdi acted so calmly, probably because he had no doubts about his orientation... right?

Maybe……

He couldn't help but muttered in his heart.
