A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"—???"

After finishing speaking, He Xiangwu seemed to regret it immediately.He quickly grabbed Fang Shiqing: "Brother Fang, Brother Fang, you won't tell others, right? You must never tell others?"

Fang Shiqing felt frightened.He was in a state of shock for the time being, and he couldn't answer immediately, and He Xiangwu suddenly became anxious.

"Brother, please, this matter has to be spread, I should not be able to be a human being here—"

"Okay, okay," Fang Shiqing supported him and told him to sit down on the chair, "Never say anything, let it rot in your stomach. But what, this matter is really not shameful, and you don't have to be so afraid... "

He Xiangwu covered his face, and said sullenly: "Oh, brother Fang, you are not the person involved, you don't know. I usually buy goods and send them home, and the school tries to hide it. Later, my girlfriend found out that I was in Drawing comics... She blew me up on the spot, and even exposed it! I was used as a meme by the buddies in the whole dormitory building for a semester. When everyone saw me, the first thing they said was 'It's been a long time Gone, Magical Girl of Love and Hope'!"

"...It's their fault." Fang Shiqing patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

"I, I really like magical girls." After receiving a word of comfort, He Xiangwu suddenly opened up the chatterbox, "I have liked them since I was a primary school student. It sounds funny to say 'love and hope', but I am I think so from the bottom of my heart. They are the most perfect images in the world who entrust their dreams and beliefs, are pure and powerful, are the embodiment of justice and light, and are my spiritual support!"

"My ex-girlfriend, and the classmates who made fun of me, they didn't have any malicious intentions, but I felt very uncomfortable, just laughed at me, why did they laugh at the magical girl, they didn't do anything wrong." He sucked Sniffed.

So from then on, he only dared to secretly like her, and never wanted others to know.

"Oh, it's not easy for you."

Fang Shiqing has never had a similar experience, but he can admit the feeling of being unable to defend what he likes.He Xiangwu is still a student after all, and he hasn't been able to correctly distinguish between hobbies and daily life. When encountering such a thing, it is inevitable that his mentality will collapse.

"Later...do you still draw manga?"

"I persisted in drawing for a while," He Xiangwu wiped away his bitter tears, and recalled, "The number of views has been very low. Later, the editor of the website contacted me and told me...don't draw such naive things that even elementary school students don't like to see." The subject matter, drawing some sand sculpture comics or selling meat comics, may have a chance to become popular."

"..."

"Speaking of which, I'm probably not suitable for drawing manga." He buried his face deeply in his palm, "The editor is right, the orthodox magical girl theme is outdated. But I only like that kind of magical girl, isn't it It's dark and cruel, and it's not a spoof."

"so……"

Having said that, He Xiangwu struggled again.

"Well, it's really embarrassing to say. At that time, I thought, if only I had a mine at home, then I can invest a lot of money in the orthodox magical girl animation, and support it so that more people can see it— —Who knew that for such a daydream, he would be thrown into this unlucky game that could die at any time? If I had known earlier, I would not have daydreamed—"

"..." Fang Shiqing was suddenly speechless.

After a long time, he finally grabbed He Xiangwu's hand and patted it with emotion.

"No, at least for me, your idea is not shameful." He said, "Because I am similar to you. I am also daydreaming, hoping to get a windfall so that I can invest in the development of my favorite game, That's what got caught."

"..."

"..."

A game nerd and a magical girl nerd held hands and looked at their tearful eyes for a moment, but they were speechless.

*

Fang Shiqing really never thought that there are other people who are forced to participate in this game because of this kind of reason, which is the most stupid in the eyes of normal people.

After all, neither he nor He Xiangwu had expected such serious consequences when they made a wish for a large sum of money.He Xiangwu, a young man with a bright future and a happy family, how could he risk his life for an illusory dream?

But until now, we can only accept this reality.

and--

Although this was a mistake, it was not a bad thing for him, just for himself, to be able to participate in this game.

Being able to play games openly, being able to play life as a game, and being able to get a real and recognizable sense of accomplishment in the game.

Fang Shiqing walked slowly along the road, feeling filled with emotion.

On the street trees on both sides of the road, there are layers of new green leaves.

He couldn't help but think of the neighborhood he lived in in reality.There are no trees between the bare residential buildings, only small flower beds lined up, and the roses planted in them are half-dead all year round, and few people take care of them.

The scene was too deserted and desolate.Even when he went downstairs to throw out the trash, he rarely stayed at the bottom of the building, and at most he only teased a stray cat when he saw it.

Passing near the square, he glanced in through a green belt.This place is as lively as ever, only the corner where the bulletin board is located is still deserted... No.

There are figures in front of the bulletin board, and more than one.

A tall man was standing in front of the bulletin, and a smaller figure was circling around him.

This scene is a bit concerning.

Fang Shiqing stepped into the square, walked a little closer, and found that the person in front of the announcement was Xiao Fengdi who had just left, and the one hanging around him... was not a player, but... the guy from the grocery store named Xiaoyu NPCs.

What's the matter?He was a little surprised.

Xiao Fengdi stood there wholeheartedly watching the announcement, and didn't even move for a long time, as if roots had grown under his feet.The NPC Xiaoyu seemed to be talking to him all the time, but he completely ignored it the whole time.

Watching this scene from such a long distance, Fang Shiqing still felt strongly embarrassed.

He hadn't decided whether to sneak away or pretend not to see him, but Xiaoyu found him out of nowhere, and immediately turned around and ran over.

"That... the little brother from the farm," Xiaoyu put on a sweet smile on his face, and his mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, "I know your name, Fang Shiqing, right? I can call you Shiqing Brother?"

Fuck? ? ?What does he want to do? ? ?

Fang Shiqing had goose bumps all over his body, and immediately regretted why he didn't run away immediately.

"Excuse me, what can you do?" He asked cautiously.

"It's nothing, didn't you just come to our Fengyue Town not long ago, I want to be friends with you."

It has been more than ten days since I entered the game. During this period, Fang Shiqing ran to the grocery store a lot, and also had a lot of contact with Xiaoyu.This npc is good-looking, and always smiles at the guests, but he has never done anything out of the ordinary, let alone... well, this kind of behavior.

This made him feel very strange.

"Ah, you don't know me yet," the npc tilted her head, her smile became prettier, "My name is Zhang Yu, the daughter of a grocery store, you can call me Xiaoyu. You should have met my brother Zhang Yu, right? "

……daughter.

……elder brother.

...What the hell? !

The barrage in Fang Shiqing's heart frantically swiped across the screen.

Speaking of this, he finally realized that the npc in front of him was not the boy he knew before who pretended to be a boy, but a real girl!

"Um, uh, hello..." He shook his hand bravely, "You really look like your brother, hahaha."

"Because we are twins. Although we are fraternal twins, we are so closely related by blood. It is natural for us to look alike." The girl smiled and shook his arm, "I usually go to school outside, and I don't have many chances to come back, but I really want to be good friends with everyone in the town, Brother Shiqing—"

"No, wait, don't," Fang Shiqing trembled, "Girl, you better stop calling me that."

Xiaoyu didn't feel embarrassed, and easily brought the topic over: "That little brother over there is here to take over the library, right? He ignores me anyway, can you introduce him to me so that I can get to know him?" ah."

Fang Shiqing: "..."

To put it simply, you, like your brother, fell in love with him right away?

His shoulders suddenly tightened.Xiao Fengdi didn't know when he left the bulletin board, came behind him, and pulled him back by pressing his shoulder.

"Sorry, we have something to do, let's go first."

Throwing a cold sentence at Xiaoyu, he pulled Fang Shiqing and turned around to leave.

"Huh? Wait a minute..."

Xiaoyu seemed to want to follow, but Xiao Fengdi walked on as if he didn't hear it.His strides are very big, Xiao Yu is a girl, it is not shameful to chase after him like this, she followed a few steps, and finally stopped.

Fang Shiqing originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Xiao Fengdi's side face, he immediately swallowed all the words with interest.

——Facing this face that interpreted the low pressure to the extreme, that girl actually dared to pester her. This kind of fearless behavior can be called a hero.

It wasn't until he walked across the street that he mustered up his courage and said, "Boss... I thought you'd already gone back to the library."

Xiao Fengdi turned his head and looked at the square from afar.Finding that Xiaoyu was still looking at them, a trace of irritability could not be suppressed from the brow.

"No," he said, "It's too noisy over there, so I don't want to go back. I originally wanted to hide here for peace, but who knew it was even more noisy here, and I was entangled inexplicably."

It is really rare to see him complaining like this.

"By the way," he frowned, and said again, "You'd better not talk to that NPC, she feels very strange."

Well, how should I put it... Fang Shiqing scratched his hair, smiled wryly and said, "I don't think that little girl would talk to me at all if it wasn't for the sake of talking to you."

Xiao Fengdi just sighed gloomily.

"By the way, boss, you were reading the announcement just now. Has there been any change in the announcement?" Fang Shiqing suddenly remembered and asked casually.

"No," Xiao Fengdi said in silence for a few seconds, "I saw the last update."

The last update——is the part of [Death Punishment].

Speaking of which, Xiao Fengdi watched that part for a long time when it was first published; he seemed to be particularly concerned about the matter of "becoming an NPC after death".

Thinking about linking the two things together, Fang Shiqing was startled.

"Could it be that the girl named Xiaoyu was also a player before?" That's why she was attracted to other players, wanted to be friends with other players... what?

"—probably not," Xiao Fengdi gave him a surprised look, "I don't think so. Doesn't she have a twin brother? Players like us, even if they are not set as outsiders, their family composition is different." They are all very simple, and her family members are too many."

"That's good." Fang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was thinking too much.

"However," Xiao Fengdi paused and said in a low voice, "In this game world, there are indeed NPCs who have transformed from players.

"Do you still remember the bartender in the bar? He used to be my colleague, entered the game last year, and... didn't come out alive."
