A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing immediately jumped back, embarrassed and ashamed, completely speechless.Saying things like "we are not that kind of relationship" is undoubtedly neither convincing nor self-evident; however, they really have - at least for now, there really is no relationship beyond teammates.

Xiao Fengdi didn't use any strength to hold him, so he broke free easily.Xiao Fengdi lowered his eyes, but didn't say anything. After a while, he turned to Zhang Yu and said, "Then do you know how to go back?"

When it came to business, Zhang Yu couldn't sit still.

He turned slowly, his eyes were red, and he looked very listless, but sincere.

"I know a little bit... But, although I should take you back as soon as possible now, sorry, I may not be able to."

"What do you mean?"

You should understand that this is a 'phantom', a special space constructed with magical powers like magic. Zhang Yu said, "Those who can manipulate the 'illusion' are those... demons and ghosts, but I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have the ability to let us leave." "

——In other words, must Zhang Yu send them away from the dungeon?

"Then can you persuade your sister to come out and do a favor?" Fang Shiqing asked.

He didn't have much hope in his heart, but as expected, Zhang Yu closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, Xiaoyu refuses to live or die, I can't talk to her."

"...Uh, but in this way, aren't you also trapped here?"

"That's right," Zhang Yu smiled wryly, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu...sometimes she's quite capricious, and she doesn't care about anything when she loses her temper. But in fact, it's not necessary for her, there are other ways, but..."

"It's okay, tell me."

"Actually," Zhang Yu seemed a little embarrassed, bowing her head and twisting her hair, "I think you can try to find other monsters in the illusion, and ask her for help."

"Wait," Xiao Fengdi interrupted, "Why are there other monsters in the dungeon—the illusion?"

Even in video games, there is only one final boss, and the other small bosses and elite monsters are considered subordinates of the final boss.If Zhang Yu is the boss here, where are the other monsters coming from?

Fang Shiqing remembered the female statue of the "Disciplinary Committee" that he met in school before.

Is Zhang Yu referring to that statue?It looks like it can fight more than Zhang Yu, and it doesn't look like it is with Zhang Yu. Is there any hidden secret in this?

"Because, this..."

Zhang Yu looked even more embarrassed, and whispered, "Actually, Xiaoyu and I didn't build this illusion, but we borrowed it from local ghosts."

"……what?"

Wait a minute, what he meant was that this dungeon was... borrowed from another BOSS? ?

Can copies be borrowed from each other? !

"Because, although we need such a place to implement the plan, none of us are from the neighboring town, so we don't have a good location to speak of," Zhang Yu scratched his cheeks, his eyes wandering, "and, with Xiaoyu's strength, In fact, we can’t build such a large and complete illusion. We have no choice but to consult with the ghosts we met here and borrow their territory.”

"Oh," Xiao Fengdi said flatly, "It seems that you really bothered."

It's just that this idea is not used in a good place.

"...Anyway, we can go to the original owner of this illusion and ask her to send us out." Zhang Yu stood up and patted the snow on his body, "If you think it's okay, let's go to her now?"

"..."

Honestly, this doesn't feel good.

According to Zhang Yu, the ghost they are going to meet next is the real boss of the dungeon.And according to previous experience, serious dungeon bosses will never be as easy to deal with as Zhang Yu, and it is very likely that they will not be able to deal with them at all.

"This... is there any other way?"

"I'm sorry, I can't think of any other way." Zhang Yu shook his head and looked at him, "Don't you want to get in touch with the ghost? Don't worry, that ghost is very talkative. I should ask her for help. "

Speaking of this, it seems that I can't go.Taking a step back, even if the boss is really difficult, they will have to go through this sooner or later, and they can't stay here forever.

Zhang Yu led the way, and the three of them did not turn back, but continued to walk to the other side of the mountain.As I said before, this is a linear copy, as long as you walk forward, you can trigger events in sequence.

Fang Shiqing was afraid that the boss would throw him in the trolley and push him again. Fortunately, this time, in front of outsiders, Xiao Fengdi didn't say anything, but silently loaded the trolley.

At the beginning, several people were silent.Fang Shiqing was distracted while walking, he had been thinking about the "master of the copy", after thinking for a while, he raised his voice and asked Zhang Yu in front of him: "Well, what kind of ghost is that ghost you mentioned? Is it a person wearing The Disciplinary Committee's armband—"

Accidentally, his left calf sank into the snowdrift, and he managed to pull it out with great difficulty.The cold snow got into his trousers and stuck to his skin, he couldn't help shivering several times.

"Be careful." Xiao Fengdi said as he bent down and tucked his trousers into the boots neatly. Before he could react, it was already done.

Fang Shiqing's face turned red all of a sudden.This kind of detail makes him very ashamed, but it has a different taste.

"Well, it should be the one you said...uh." Zhang Yu turned around and said when he heard the voice, but just in time to see this scene, his face immediately became very complicated, and he turned his face back silently.

Xiao Fengdi didn't think it was enough, he held Fang Shiqing's hand, and seemed to feel that it was too cold, so he simply pulled it over and stuffed it into his pocket.

"That, boss, I..."

Fang Shiqing wanted to say that he was actually not that cold, but Xiao Fengdi changed the topic first.

"Have you seen the ghost he spoke of?"

"Should have seen it."

Fang Shiqing had already told the other party the experience of "encountering Zhang Yu and being saved by a female statue", but he said it in a more general way before, so he told it again now.

What puzzled him the most was why the statue fought with Zhang Yu.If, as Zhang Yu said, this copy was borrowed from the female statue, shouldn't the relationship between them be pretty good?Otherwise, we can't borrow such a big thing from each other.

"It's not surprising. She has never liked Xiaoyu very much." Zhang Yu sighed, his voice was a little muffled because his back was facing them.

"She is a ghost in the school of life, and she lives in the shadow of the statue during the day. As a result, a few years ago, during a school event, Xiao Yu accidentally poured a bucket of green paint on the statue's head, fearing being discovered , wrapped its face in a rag, and lied to others that it was a special event decoration...Since then, they have been feuding."

"..." This is really a very practical way to end an enemy.

"Since there is a grudge, is she still willing to lend you such a big illusion?"

"Well, she's very talkative, and she has the best temper among the powerful monsters in the neighboring town," Zhang Yu said, feeling a little depressed, "The ones who are more talkative than her don't have the ability to create illusions, and are stronger than her." They are very fierce. At first, I just wanted to ask her for help, but she quickly agreed."

Zhang Yu talked about the background of the ghost.

She was a student at the school more than 20 years ago and served as the disciplinary committee member at that time. She had to go to school every morning and evening when there were few students to prepare.At that time, the school was being renovated, and she came to the school in the dark one winter morning. Unfortunately, she slipped next to the statue and her leg was pierced by a steel bar on the ground. Before she could get help, she lost blood and died.

Since then, her ghost has been living on the nearby statue. Because she was a member of the discipline committee, she has always had a good impression of obedient school students, but she is full of disgust for school gangsters. Compared with ghosts, she is more like Is the patron saint of students.

It does sound like a good ghost, but... Looking down at his broken ribs, Fang Shiqing felt lingering fear.He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it," Xiao Fengdi said upon seeing this, "Go and see the situation first."

"……Um."

While speaking, the other party kept holding his hand tightly.Needless to say, this really comforted him a lot.

People are right, no matter how much you think about it, you still have to face the boss in the end.Besides, now that the boss has woken up, the two of us can make up our minds together about anything, which is much better than before.

After walking for about half an hour, passing through several unfamiliar streets with chaotic directions, the gate of the neighboring town's school appeared not far away.Fang Shiqing suddenly remembered, and asked Zhang Yu: "By the way, have you ever studied here before?"

"Yes. After all, Xiaoyu and I use the same body, so we can't let one stay at home while the other comes here."

Speaking of the past, Zhang Yu expressed emotion.

"The matter of Xiaoyu is a secret of our family, and no one should know about it, so although my father has applied for the school status of both of us, he has always claimed in the town that Xiaoyu is the only one who goes to school outside, and I don't go out often because of my poor health. In this way, everyone can get used to the situation that we, brother and sister, will never appear at the same time. On the school side, we had to take turns to attend classes, but fortunately, the students did not arouse suspicion."

"So it's like this, it's not easy for you." Fang Shiqing said casually.

Zhang Yu stopped talking.Seeing that he was about to reach the east gate of the school, he stopped suddenly, and turned his head as if he had made up his mind: "Well, Shi Qing..."

Before Fang Shiqing could react, Xiao Fengdi immediately darkened his face: "What do you call him?"

"...Fang, Brother Fang," Zhang Yu felt wronged, he looked away, stared at his shoe upper and whispered, "I have something to ask you, can you, can you forgive Xiaoyu?"

"--What?"

This time Fang Shiqing came to his senses, but he couldn't understand.Xiao Fengdi's expression became more and more cold.

"I know, she did a lot of bad things, we both caused you a lot of trouble and caused a lot of harm," his voice became softer, "I will definitely keep an eye on her in the future, and have a good time with her." Reflect on it, and never let this happen again. She should have learned some lessons too... So, please let her go... okay?"

"—???"

Fang Shiqing looked confused, "Wait, wait, why do you say that I have persecuted you, and it is our side that was persecuted, okay?"

"No, I didn't mean that," Zhang Yu hurriedly shook his hands, "I know we did something wrong, but Xiaoyu, she is young and ignorant, and she has learned her lesson now, and it is already painful, so we will stop here Is it okay so far?"

Fang Shiqing felt the hand holding her tighten suddenly, and only then remembered that the boss had used a special spell to roast Zhang Yu's soul once before, and she was in pain at that time.

"I don't forgive," Xiao Fengdi said bluntly. "No matter what he thinks, I can't easily let go of this evil spirit who has repeatedly hurt him. Besides, I have warned you a long time ago, but you don't think about it." Repent and get worse."

Zhang Yu shook his head slightly, he should also know that the boss is not good at talking, so he just looked at Fang Shiqing with pleading eyes.

Fang Shiqing had a headache.

To be honest, if a situation similar to Zhang Yu happened in reality, even if he was a weak chicken and the other party was a girl, he would definitely beat her up and call the police.

However, this is a game, and Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu are still NPCs, protected by the rules of the game... Not only can he not retaliate, but he has to persuade the boss to take it easy. This feeling is really aggrieved.

"Let's talk about this after we go back, okay?" Finally, he could only say temporarily, "There is nothing more important than leaving here now. And I need to think about it."

Zhang Yu looked dissatisfied, but did not continue to ask.

"Well, that's fine," he turned around, "Then I'll go to the owner of the illusion first, and I'll let you in after I discuss it with her."

Some ghosts are also very shy, and since they are coming to ask for help, it is better to let an acquaintance contact them first, so neither of them raised any objections.

Watching Zhang Yu's back walking all the way along the commuter road, Xiao Fengdi sighed and said, "...Aren't you angry?"

"What? Oh," Fang Shiqing said, "I'm actually quite angry. But... because, because you're here, since you've already taken revenge for me..."

He felt awkward no matter how he said this, "Anyway, anyway, thank you, boss. I feel, very...very..."

"Very" for a long time, stunned because there is no suitable adjective.what?happiness?satisfy?sweet?gratitude?It seems to be right, and it seems to be wrong.

Xiao Fengdi looked at him, and he looked at the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"It's all what should be done," said the other at last, "and I haven't done enough. I didn't take good care of you, obviously—"

An extremely shrill and sharp cry suddenly broke out in the school, interrupting the conversation between the two.The sound was so loud and piercing that it almost shook the snowflakes on the surrounding trees, Fang Shiqing had to cover his ears.

"What happened?" He shouted, but under the noise, Xiao Fengdi beside him should not be able to hear his voice at all.

The screaming stopped, and after a second or two it came back intermittently, as if moving very fast.

A person rushed out of the door in panic, it was Zhang Yu.

"I'm sorry!" Fang Shiqing heard the other party shout in the gap, "I failed, she, she was very angry, not only refused to help, but also killed Xiaoyu!"
