The Big Devil and the Cookie

Luosu's idea was verified.

One day, Malone invited Luosu and Ludwig to play in the arena. Neither of them had been to this place dominated by the drama department. Under the leadership of Malone, the two visited various simulation battlefields. Wonderful battle.

In the arena, only book pets with a traveler's license can participate in the competition, so the three newcomers are not yet eligible to challenge the arena.

"Come on, I'll take you to see the record wall." Malone said.

The three of them took the elevator and went up to the 68th floor. A corridor paved with red carpet appeared outside the elevator door. There were various photos hanging on the wall, as well as the name of the book pet, the name of the owner, and the introduction of the battle. They walked all the way. , Malone pointed out photos of his eldest brother and second brother to the two, and proudly introduced their great achievements in the arena.

"In the future, I will become an excellent time traveler like my elder brother and second brother." Ma Long said proudly.

"Come on!" Luosu patted Malone on the shoulder.

Malone smiled "hehe" and led the two of them to continue walking forward.

At the end of the corridor are two doors facing each other.

A golden door and a black door.

"Is this...?" Ludwig asked.

"This is the Hall of Honor." Malone said excitedly, pointing to the golden door, "Those who can enter the Hall of Honor are book lovers who have made outstanding contributions to the CA continent. They either saved many people, or Discovered treasures in the virtual world, or ensured that the virtual world is not distorted by various factors..."

As Malone talked, he was a little unclear. He scratched his hair and concluded: "In short, he is a powerful person who has won many honors! Look, none of my brothers entered the hall of honor, you know That's how powerful it is."

"Come on, this floor is open to us today, I'll take you to meet the bosses in the hall of honor!" Ma Long said proudly, and opened the golden door, Ludwig and Luosu also walked in.

There are six golden busts in the hall of honor, and there are a few pictures of people and brief descriptions of their deeds hanging on the three walls. The CA mainland has not been established for a long time, so there are not many book lovers in the hall of honor.

"Look, this is Miss Cloudy's monument. She first introduced science fiction into the world of pure love, as a new genre creator..." Malone read out the deeds of this world builder from a bust.

While reading, he looked up and found that Ludwig was gone.

"Brother Lu?"

Ludwig is under a portrait, looking at the text introduction on it:

Tang Yan, book pet, traveler's license level A, ability: healing.

……

……

Because he sneaked into the twisted world to rescue the wounded, his whereabouts are unknown.

Affiliation: Sweet Pet Department.Host: Tang Bing.

"Mr. Tang?" Luosu also joined in.

Ma Long took a closer look and was startled: "Tang Bing is hiding deep enough. There is a book favorite who has entered the hall of honor, but he never mentions it..."

"Tang Yan, I've never heard of it." Luosu said, frowning, even if the book pet was sacrificed, it wouldn't be as if he didn't exist at all, but, in Tang Bing's 419th floor, there has never been one. Any sign of the existence of this man named Tang Yan.

Sure enough... is it Bluebeard?

Ludwig vaguely recalled in his mind that when he first came to the CA continent, he came out of the book pet making machine, and vaguely heard a mechanical voice saying: Book pet No. [-].

number four.

Tang Bing has four books, "The Great Devil and the Little Prince" is the fourth, and Ludwig is the fourth favorite, there is no problem.

It's just that he never realized that there seemed to be no book pet No. [-] in Tang Bing's room.

Number one Tang Xi, number two Tang Yao... It seems that number three is Tang Yan.

"Wait, the scene we saw in the holographic projection room...couldn't it be sent back by Tang Yan?" Luosu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately blurted out.

Ludwig was taken by him, and he also thought of this possibility.

He didn't say anything, turned around and walked outside, Luosu hurriedly caught up and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Ludwig said, "Ask clearly."

"But he never mentioned this No. [-] book favorite. It is impossible for Tang Xi and Tang Yao not to know the existence of this No. [-] book favorite, but he never mentioned it. It can be seen that Mr. Tang ordered them not to mention it. Luosu analyzed while quickly following Ludwig's pace.

"so?"

"So it's useless for you to ask. Tang Bing made up his mind not to tell others the truth. No matter how much he interrogates, it's useless. He can think of a hundred ways to justify himself." Luosu rolled his eyes, "To find the truth , we still have to do it ourselves.”

Ludwig said nothing.

The two entered the straight elevator, and the elevator doors were about to close when Malone squeezed in hastily.

"What are you two doing so fast!" Malone said, he obviously heard Luosu's words, "And Luosu, didn't Mr. Tang let you stay at their house? How did you guard against Mr. Tang? Is your heart so heavy?"

Luosu rolled his eyes. Of course he couldn't tell Ma Long directly. It was because of his close observation that he felt that Tang Bing had ulterior motives for Ludwig. Anyway, it was definitely not the normal master's attitude towards book pets.

This is not a good thing.

Luosu looked at Malone, and then at Ludwig, both of them knew nothing about relationships, only he was a keen book lover, and there was nothing to reason about.

"Do you know that the World Builders Association has a general decree?" Luosu said, "World builders and book pets cannot be combined."

Malone: ​​"???"

Ludwig: No expression.

Malone: ​​"What are you talking about? We don't have the so-called love of human beings."

Luosu rolled his eyes: "What's the matter with Shu Chong Acacia?"

Ma Long wondered: "Does he like Li Yu?"

"...He likes lovesickness!!" Luosu folded his arms, "You can't even tell?"

"Oh, he likes lovesickness, that's normal, and I like Malone too." Malone replied.

Luosu was speechless.

Malone saw that the two insisted on leaving, so he had to say goodbye to them at the station.

Along the way, Luosu advised Ludwig not to ask directly, but to save the country and find some news related to Tang Yan. Besides, since Tang Yan went to the Book Pet Academy and passed the time traveler's license, there must be many Information about him can be found on the Internet.

"Do you know why I told you that decree just now?" Luosu repeated the old saying, "That decree is not used to protect book pets, it is to maintain the ethical and moral order of the world builders, that is, In other words, if the relationship between the master and the book pet develops to the point of transgressing the law, the party that is destroyed is definitely the book pet, not the world builder."

"Luosu," Ludwig stopped him, "Are you thinking too much, Tang Bing and I are friends."

"Friendship?" Luosu's eyes widened, "That's because you didn't notice, he is always very patient with you, and when you are doing other things, he will look at your back and smile, and, Don't you two often go to the rooftop to chat? Look at Tang Bing and the other two book pets, there is no such communication at all, right?"

"..." Ludwig wanted to say, because I am not a book lover, but Tang Bing told him not to say this, so he could only keep silent.

"Don't say that he patiently taught you this and that because you are a newcomer to books. I think he can't wait to teach you how to wear clothes and how to eat. There are so many details that he almost hangs you up." On the waistband." Luosu pouted.

After hearing Luosu's nagging all the way, the two returned to the Central Hospital.

Under Luosu's disapproving gaze, Ludwig walked towards Tang Bing, who was reading a magazine by the floor-to-ceiling window, and asked straight to the point, "Who is Tang Yan?"

Tang Bing's eyes stayed on a certain line, and he didn't continue to look down. He was thinking, and after pondering for a while, he said, "It's my No. [-] favorite book."

"Where did he go?" Ludwig asked. "What happened to him?"

"That was a year ago. The world of the CA continent suffered a large-scale attack. Many original worlds were corroded and turned into distorted worlds. You know, in the distorted world, anything can happen. In order to save those The book pets caught in the distorted world, the three departments negotiated to send some book pets with the traveler's license to rescue, and Tang Yan, because of his healing ability, became the first batch selected." Tang Bing said, "He didn't return."

"..."

"You want to ask me why I kept this matter a secret? Why is there no trace of Tang Yan's existence in this room?" Tang Bing asked with a smile.

Even Luosu was surprised by his confession and his foresight of doubts. Obviously, Tang Bing was sincere, and he didn't want to create a gap caused by misunderstanding between him and Ludwig.

"Because, contrary to the original world, the more people pay attention to the distorted world, the more serious the uncontrollable situation will be. Therefore, I would rather no one notice the internal situation of the distorted world." Tang Bing sighed and put the magazine aside , "Tang Yan's ability is to heal, that is to say, he will not die, and he will never die. He will be injured again and again, but will heal again and again, until the time comes and someone rescues him. Even if he will not die, But I also don't want him to get hurt more."

"Timing?" Ludwig thought of Tang Bing who was silently watching the projection in the holographic projection room.

"Yes." Tang Bing smiled, but there was a lot of helplessness in the smile, "I was going to send someone to save him, but it can't work now, so I have to wear protective clothing..."

A certain person, Ludwig, was supposed to be Tang Bing's No. [-] book pet with explosive force value, but who knows, he was replaced by Ludwig from the demon world.

The reason why Tang Bing was so satisfied with Ludwig who made his debut was precisely because Ludwig at that time perfectly met Tang Bing's expectations in all aspects, enough to survive in the distorted world and had considerable success Chances are, if you can get Tang Yan out.

But it can't work now, because Tang Bing knows that Ludwig is not a book lover, so he can't let Ludwig take this risk.

Luosu, who was watching from the sidelines, knew that he had miscalculated Tang Bing's response. Tang Bing's answer was so direct, clear, clear, and sincere that Luosu was a little jealous, because he himself could not have such a master, and he couldn't even imagine it in his dreams. arrive.

However, this made him even more worried.

The owner and the book pet can't exceed a certain limit, let alone have feelings, otherwise they will be punished by the law... Luosu, whose head is full of dog blood, has already made up a lot of thrilling and life-and-death stories.

When Ludwig was planning to go to the holographic projection room with Tang Bing to check the situation, when he turned around, he saw Luosu's eyes were red, and he stood there blankly: "Luosu?"

"Huh?" Luosu came back to his senses.

"Let's... go to see the twisted world. Go back to your room and rest first," Ludwig said.
