Are you afraid?

Nie Xi, who was walking through the kitchen, saw the back of his mother cooking, and for some reason, his throat felt a lot tighter.In order to relieve the discomfort of the overlapping of dreams and reality, Nie Xi called out.

"Mom, what's for breakfast this morning?"

"Porridge and fried eggs." Zhang Ningshu turned around and answered.

Nie Xigang breathed a sigh of relief, but what Zhang Ningshu said next made his nerves crumble again.

"Your dad went to the garage as soon as he got up. The meal is almost ready. Go and tell him to come back."

Zhang Ningshu didn't look back, and continued to cook eggs, but he didn't see his son's bitter melon expression.

Nie Xi, who was about to cry, went out tremblingly. Seeing Chaoyang outside with the unique summer heat, he finally became more courageous and walked slowly towards the garage.

"This is not a dream, this is not a dream, it is not a dream... I don't have to be afraid..."

"Nie Xi!"

A hearty shout stopped Nie Xi, and when he looked back, his heart couldn't help beating wildly again.

Lao Liu was standing at the door of his house with Qiuqiu holding his hand and greeting him with a smile on his face.But there is a bright and normal smile on his face, and Qiuqiu sticks out his tongue. He has a normal figure and is as cute as ever.

"I'm taking the ball to the river, do you want to play Frisbee with it?"

"No, no need, I'll eat right away." Nie Xi forced a smile.

Although everyone has returned to normal, the nightmare of last night still reappears in his mind from time to time, and he is still afraid of what to do...

Old Liu didn't notice the abnormality, and ran away holding Qiuqiu.

Next, Nie Xi walked to the garage and saw his father squatting next to the car again, not knowing what he was doing, his heart raised his throat.

"Dad, it's time to eat."

Nie Guozhang hummed and stood up.In his hand was a crowbar.

"Ah!" Nie Xi couldn't help screaming.

The cry startled Nie Guozhang, and he asked him a little reproachfully.

"You child, why are you so surprised?"

"Dad, you...what are you doing with this..." Nie Xi pointed at the crowbar in his hand tremblingly.

"Your mother said that the key to a cabinet can't be found. I'm going to pick the lock and change it." Nie Guozhang replied inexplicably.

"Oh." Nie Xi stretched out his hand tentatively. "Wash your hands first, I... Let me help you."

"Okay." Nie Guozhang readily handed the crowbar to Nie Xi.

Nie Xi breathed a sigh of relief... as if he was afraid that Nie Guozhang would return, he rushed home quickly.

Back home, Zhang Ningshu had already served porridge and pickles on the table, and there was an orange fried egg in front of everyone.

Nie Xi hid the crowbar under the sofa, rushed back to the dining table, and desperately turned over the big bowl of porridge with a long spoon, as if he wanted to see every grain of rice in the bowl of porridge.

"What are you playing with, kid! Waste of food!"

A hand flicked lightly on the back of Nie Xi's head.

"I'm afraid it's too hot, cool..." Nie Xi hid his mother and put down the spoon in his hand.Smiling.

"Eat quickly, go to bed after eating, or I will tell your dad that you didn't sleep last night, so don't want your game console anymore." Zhang Ningshu threatened.

It was only then that Nie Xi remembered that his gaming helmet was coming today, but he couldn't arouse any excitement.He sat on the chair hesitantly, took a bowl of porridge, and looked left and right seven or eight times before taking a spoonful to his mouth.

Nie Guozhang and Zhang Ningshu also sat down soon, chatting about homework while eating porridge.

Looking at his parents who looked normal, Nie Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, how could the veritable Mr. Devil in his room let him spend the morning so easily.

When Nie Xi took his last mouthful of porridge, a person came out from the wall of his room.

"puff!"

The porridge was sprayed all over the table, which shocked Nie Guozhang and Zhang Ningshu.

Under Nie Xi's stare, Mr. Devil, who was very interested, leisurely walked to his hand, and gently sniffed his fried eggs.

"I...I, me...he..." Nie Xi tremblingly wanted to explain, but when he raised his eyes, he saw his parents were staring at him, there was no surprise, only concern.

"Are you choking? May I bring you a glass of water?" Zhang Ningshu asked worriedly.

"You, eat slowly." Nie Guozhang said with a sigh.

"You..." Nie Xi turned to look at the devil, saw him blink his right eye, and then gave him another wink.

"I..." Nie Xi turned around and said to his parents with an ugly expression. "You... don't you think... there is something more in the living room?"

Nie Guozhang and Zhang Ningshu looked around and shook their heads inexplicably.

"Oh, I was dazzled just now, I didn't choke, you guys eat slowly, I'll go back to the room first." After Nie Xi finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back, and dragged the guy next to him back to the room quickly.

He heard the door closing much louder than usual, and the sound of locking.

Nie Guozhang asked his wife hesitantly.

"Why do I feel that my son is acting weird today?"

Zhang Ningshu thought it was because his son was out of spirits after staying up late at night, so he covered it for him.

"Maybe it's because his favorite game console is coming, so he's more excited. By the way, help me pry open the cabinet in the room after eating."

Nie Guozhang snorted and looked around.

"Hey, where did the kid put the crowbar?"

As soon as Nie Xi entered the room, just as he was about to say something, he was pressed hard against the door, and then a familiar breath blocked his lips.

After a while, Nie Xi's startled heartbeat instantly stabilized, and the man holding him straightened up and licked the corner of his mouth.

"It's not that the fear created by dreams is more delicious..."

"You!" Nie Xi blushed furiously, but he didn't dare to make any accusations against the person in front of him.

"Don't be angry, we still have countless good nights to spend, it will be bad for your health if you are angry."

The devil reached out and hooked his chin, and walked away with a smile.

Nie Xi had a lot of emotions clogged in his chest, but he couldn't vent it at all. He squatted on the ground angrily, and even squeezed out two tears.

He is a dignified man, and he has never cried since he was sensible. Unexpectedly, within two days of that guy's arrival, he couldn't help but cry twice. It's really embarrassing.

Hearing suppressed sobs in the room, the demon who was fiddling with the furnishings in the room laughed in disbelief, turned around and lifted Nie Xi up from the ground.

"You're still crying when you're so big, are you still a man?" The devil showed a malicious smile, let go of Nie Xi's collar with one hand, but stretched down, pinching a lump of soft flesh .

Nie Xi shrank from the pain and nodded desperately.

"I'm a man! I'm a man, I won't cry anymore, please let go."

The demon grinned and relaxed his grip, but he didn't let go completely.

"I think we need to set some rules in the future. Now is a good time, what do you think?"

Nie Xi nodded wildly.

"First, you must provide me with fear once a day, and let you complete it in your dreams if you don't complete it during the day. Second, you must never show a useless look in front of me. Third, what I ask you to do You have to do it all!"

"The third point is...I'm afraid of me. There are some things I can't do." Nie Xi asked weakly.

"Don't worry, I will consider your actual ability." The devil exerted a little more force in his hands.

"I agree, I agree!" Nie Xi was so painful that he almost shrank to the ground.

Satisfied, the devil let go of Nie Xi, and the other party still crouched on the ground.

"Well, I just saw a name on a small box in your bookshelf that should suit me very well. You can call me Lord Diablo from now on."

Nie Xi's painful and twitching back suddenly paused, and his complexion suddenly became complicated.

Are you mistaken, this guy actually looked at his collection of game discs.It is also necessary to take a name that is the same as that of the Dreadlord in the game.

But it is also very suitable for him.

But Nie Xi is a game enthusiast, asking him to call a real person by a three-dimensional name really makes people blush.

"What?" The devil sensitively sensed that something was wrong with Nie Xi.

"It's nothing..." Nie Xi reluctantly stood up and tried to explain. "That small box is a game prop that we humans used to love to play. Diablo looks very powerful, but he has been killed many times in the game..."

"Oh? Forget it then." The devil raised his eyebrows. "But I also wanted to ask you, how to use the thin disc."

Nie Xi went to the bookshelf and took the game disc, then turned on the TV and game console, and loaded the disc into it.

Facing electronic products, Nie Xi instantly regained his nature as an electronic enthusiast, and started talking endlessly.

"The pictures you see are all fake, made by human beings with some kind of work. We can control the character inside, and then use various methods to defeat the pre-set monsters to get various rewards. This kind of fun and fascination." Nie Xi handed the handle to the devil.

The devil looked at the picture on the TV thoughtfully, but did not take the handle.

"Looking at these pictures, it's very similar to a world I once lived in..."

"The things inside are really fictitious. If you don't believe me, I can take you out to have a look. No one can use magic now. The things you see that move by themselves are all driven by an energy called electricity. And every household has them.” Nie Xi emphasized.

"No, I know you dare not lie to me."

The demon looked at the screen with a calm expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nie Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but heard a knock on the door of the room.

"Who?" He crawled at the door and asked nervously.

"Son, your sensor helmet is here. I'll bring it for you." Nie Guozhang's deep voice came from outside.

"Really?" Nie Xi was pleasantly surprised for a moment, but then he thought of the guy behind him, and suddenly lost all interest.

Although he knew that his parents couldn't see each other, he opened the door carefully and took the big box from Nie Guozhang's hand.

"Although it's a holiday, don't be too addicted to games. You have to come out for dinner on time, you know? I secretly took it without telling your mother." Nie Guozhang urged.

"I know, thank you Dad." Nie Xi smiled.

Seeing Nie Xi moving in a big box, the devil came over curiously.

"what is this?"

"It's also a kind of game console similar to the one just now, for playing. But wearing it on your head can make you feel immersive, which is very different from the kind of game console that you play with. This is the latest product of our era I begged my parents for a long time to buy it for me." Nie Xi hugged the brand new bright silver helmet inside, fondling it fondly.

"You mean, this machine can do the same thing as letting me control you to dream?" The demon immediately grasped the point.

It seems that it is almost...

Nie Xi froze for a moment, then nodded.

Why was that guy saying that, he suddenly didn't want to use the sensor helmet...
