It's Premier League Playground Time

"Aren't you going to ask me how Yuan Zhi is doing now?" Dong Che suddenly asked after the three of them walked along the corridor in silence for a long time.

She saw Peter's hand trying to help Yu Yu from time to time, and guessed that Yu Yu hadn't killed any sheep so far, and felt that the choice of coming to protect the wolf was very correct.

Although she laughed in her heart at Yu Yu's behavior that she would rather starve than kill, in fact, she didn't even notice it, her tone was much softer, and even somewhere in her heart she was justifying her lost humanity. Faintly mourning.

"What do I care?" Although Yu Yu didn't turn his head, Dong Che saw him shrug his shoulders, and the woman could almost imagine Yu Yu's indifference through his words, tone and movements.

"What if he is dead now, or alive?" Yu Yu vividly expressed "it's nothing to do with himself".

Perhaps because of Yu Yu's indifferent attitude of a bystander, Dong Che suddenly had the urge to say something.

She wants to talk about her ambitions when she first came out of college; she wants to talk about her urgency in wanting to be an independent woman; she wants to talk about her feelings about that unexpected child; she wants to talk about herself Inseparable self-esteem and pride.

Or talk about what kind of person Yuan Zhi used to deceive her into a love that I don't know if it's true or not; talk about my anger when I found out in the basement that he had put unknown drugs in my food; When he said that he wanted to kill him, he watched him cry and beg for mercy, and then put down the knife because of the remaining feelings.

But this is all in the past tense.

The woman curled her lips in a self-deprecating manner, and said indifferently, "Well, I didn't kill him, I just beat him up and threw him into the basement with broken arms and legs."

"I won't take him with me again." For the first time, she used a little girl's way of speaking, raising her head and curling her lips.

"I noticed that you didn't come very early when you entered the restaurant for the last time." Dong Che changed the subject and said as he walked, "Then you may not know that two sheep died that morning."

"They were all killed by wolves?" Yu Yu didn't know why the woman suddenly started to provide him with various information, but he didn't stop her from saying these things that he had already speculated would happen.

"What do you mean?" The woman was stunned for a moment, but Yu Yu didn't reply to her, so he thought for a while, and then said, "So, after seeing the corpse, a thin and small man inexplicably said something about wounds. Not quite right."

"Are you saying that other players killed players from the same faction? For what?" She reacted and asked Yu Yu for proof.

"For the electric sheep's bell."

After hearing Yu Yu's answer, Dong Che suddenly thought of something, and murmured, "No wonder."

The three of them had been walking for a long time from the snack to now, and Yu Yu couldn't deny that his leg muscles were trembling almost uncontrollably.

Although he refused to show his weak side in front of outsiders, anyway, the woman was immersed in his own thoughts now, and beside him was a little tool man who always wanted to shine.

Yu Yu glanced at the dazzled woman, and while she didn't notice, she approached Peter silently. In Peter's persistent attempt to help him, he changed from refusing before to hugging the boy unceremoniously. , borrow strength from him.

"I saw a group of sheep besieging two wolves before." Dong Che said after contemplating for a long time before suddenly recovering.

Yu Yu also quickly retracted his hand when the woman's voice just started, with an innocent look on his face that nothing happened.

"Although the three sheep are mainly attacking, all three of them have electric sheep bells. With some small props, even though the two wolves have improved in various aspects, the final outcome is that the wolf is killed and the other is injured. Not much damage."

"But I don't know what happened afterwards." Dong Che said, "I didn't show up at the time, and I left after they dispersed..."

"Here we are." Yu Yu's voice interrupted Dong Che's non-stop utterances that were useless to him, watching the blue flame explode violently in front of the door, and finally dissipate in the air.

A group of people looked up at this red wooden door that had never appeared before, and looked at the black patterns surrounding it, like a castle gate in a dark/fairy tale.

Yu Yu thought for a while, then turned to ask Dong Che for the map of the previous villa.

"Did this hidden room exist before when the layout of the villa didn't change?" He took the woman's map and asked casually when unfolding the drawing.

"It exists, it's the one behind the stairs on the second floor." Dong Che looked at the wooden door for a while, then turned his gaze to Yu Yu, and replied, "But I went there to see, except for the wall, there is not even a wall there." There is no secret passage either."

"Sure enough." Yu Yu glanced at the map in his hand, moved his hand slightly, so that the boy behind him who was watching with tilted head could clearly see their position on the map, "We are now in front of the door of this hidden room. "

He returned the map to the woman again, but she refused.

"Leave it there." She stuffed the map into Yu Yu's arms, and said her opinion by the way, "It should be the chaos of the layout of the villa that led to the appearance of this hidden room."

"Yes." Yu Yu was not polite, thanked him and put the map in his belt.

He tried to push the door, but he couldn't open the loose door.

"Locked?" Yu Yu glanced up and down the wooden door, but did not see any keyhole on it, and frowned.

"You have a try." He tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly stepped aside and said to the woman.

"Me?" Dong Che froze for a moment, then took a step forward hesitantly.

"You are the girl's mother, maybe you can open it." Yu Yu explained.

"That's just a game NPC." Dong Che retorted.

She looked at Yu Yu quietly looking at herself, she was silent for a long time, her eyes flickered, and she asked, "Isn't it?"

"Perhaps." Yu Yu turned his head to avoid the woman's eyes with imperceptible urgency and eagerness to seek the sense of security brought by some kind of recognition, and replied vaguely.

He lived in the playground for a long time, almost six years.During this period, the most contacted people are called NPCs in these game fields.

In Yu Yu's view, their words and deeds are all due to their own independent emotions, so he usually doesn't call them NPCs.Unless it is when explaining to other players, in order to better understand each other, he will use the name "NPC".

What's more, for Yu Yu, who has only been out of the game field for a long time and has been staying in Gotham, it is even more impossible for him to know whether there will be any connection between the people in the game field and the players outside the game field.

He walked behind the woman and gently pushed her shoulder.

Dong Che quickly collected his emotions to prevent these complicated emotions from affecting the progress of the entire team.

Following Yu Yu's push, she stood in front of the door, put her hand on the wooden door, and pushed gently.

The door opened.

Yu Yu saw Dong Che's fingers twitch, and was finally put by the woman's side calmly.

It's just that this peace was disturbed again after seeing the appearance in the room.

The three of them walked into this overly ornately decorated room decorated in pale pink, and spread out to search for clues.

The room is decorated too dreamily, and the soft but bright enough lights from the roof illuminate the whole room, making it incompatible with the dark game field.

The walls of the room are also pasted with dreamy unicorn stickers.

After turning around the room, Yu Yu found nothing, so he grabbed Peter, who was also wandering around, and walked in the direction Dong Che had gone before.

"Dong Che?" Yu Yu turned his head and called out without seeing Dong Che.

As the two approached the bed, Yu Yu saw Dong Che's faint figure hidden behind the bed curtain.

They walked around the heavy pale pink transparent bed curtains, and the photo of Dong Che hanging on the wall behind the bed first caught their eyes.

It was a huge wedding photo, but there was only Dong Che in it, and there was no Yuan Zhi.

Dong Che, on the other hand, stood in front of the photo, with various complicated emotions in his eyes, staring up at the photo in a daze.

"Did you find anything?" Yu Yu asked as he walked forward.

"Not yet." Dong Che withdrew his eyes and looked at Yu Yu absent-mindedly, "However, according to the three hidden rooms arranged together on the map, I think there may be hidden doors."

"Considering the changing villas at any time, I can only say 'there may be'." She guessed rigorously enough, but her eyes were far away, she subconsciously reached out to touch the frame of the photo, and said, "And if there is a door, this A photo could be the key."

Yu Yu glanced at Dong Che, who was distracted again, and took a closer look at the photo.

He concentrated on groping for the photo frame, and groped for the pattern of the photo frame with his fingers, but he was startled by the sound of the door colliding with the wall.

The other two standing in front of the photo were also startled, and turned their heads suddenly to look at the wooden door that was forcibly opened with props.

Yu Yu glanced at it, and after making sure that no one noticed his gaffe, he managed to keep his unfathomable old player in front of Peter, pretending to calmly glance at the crowd.

He paused after his eyes collided with No. [-], who was almost hidden in the crowd, and quickly retracted, holding Peter to narrow his eyes and look at the leading player in the crowd.

Some of the players who were swept by Yu Yu seemed to remember what Yu Yu had done in the restaurant before, and they became agitated, and the leading player couldn't help but flinch.

But he only took a step back, and the leading man remembered something again, and stood up again. He didn't know if he was comforting himself or his companion, and said, "Don't panic, he already used his props when he was in the restaurant."

"Kill the wolf, and the game will be over." The man revealed the silver thread stained with wet blood.

Yu Yu glanced at the prop in his hand, remembered the side effect of this prop, looked sympathetically at the man whose temples had already started to turn gray due to the side effect of the prop, and asked, "Did you kill the other wolf?"

"Of course." The man held his head up, and slowly paced towards Yu Yu, with a hint of enjoyment in the upcoming killing that he didn't realize in his eyes, "He was seriously injured, and he was hungry. , lying in the corridor begging me to kill him."

"Oh." Yu Yu replied indifferently, turned his head and looked at No. [-] who had been silent behind the crowd for a while, and shrugged his shoulders knowing that he would not intervene in this matter.

He grabbed Peter who was about to fight back, and stepped back as the man approached.

During the confrontation with the sheep, Yu Yu clearly felt the improvement of various attributes given to the wolf by the game began to appear. He watched the man's already slow pace, but in his own eyes, which had improved agility, it was even more ridiculously slow.

"Don't worry, follow Dong Che closely." Taking advantage of the small height difference between himself and the boy, he quietly whispered in the boy's ear.

Although Peter was puzzled, he still obediently retreated step by step under the guidance of Yu Yu.

He is not afraid, after all, the person in front of him is not a ghost.It's just that he still shook his sweaty hand because of nervousness, and stared at the man's approach.

And just when the man was not five steps away from the three of them, Peter suddenly felt the pulling force behind him, and the speed of his back suddenly accelerated. The expression of hidden joy turned into panic.

"Why...?" The boy turned his head to look at Yu Yu, but he only had time to support Yu Yu's falling body.

"Ah... so hungry." Due to the accelerated energy consumption caused by using the wolf's ability, Yu Yu shook his dizzy head, only feeling that his stomach was on fire, and he almost melted himself with stomach acid.

According to the boy's strength, he slowed down for a long time before standing up straight again. Under the boy's worried and self-blaming eyes, he retracted the hand on the boy's shoulder and looked around the surrounding room.

The room this time is obviously a boy's room with blue as the main tone.

The wall covered with fluorescent stars and the blue wind chime placed in the right position are the main decorations of the room.

Although it is said to be a boy's room, its style is no different from the previous princess room which was clearly prepared for Dong Che.

However, the biggest advantage of this room prepared for Yuan Zhi is that it does not have a bed curtain to block people's view.This caused the photo on the wall on the other side of the bed to catch everyone's attention almost instantly.

Yu Yu rubbed his chin, looked at Yuan Zhi's wedding photo on the wall for a while, turned to Dong Che who was also staring at the photo, and said, "To be honest, I didn't realize that Yuan Zhi looks good when he dresses up. of."

He "tsk tsk" a few times, and leaned closer and said, "If I hadn't known what he did... Just this appearance, it's really deceptive."

The woman ignored Yu Yu's words, she looked at the decorations in the room, and stood in the middle of the room in a bit of despondency.

Seeing the woman immersed in his memories again, Yu Yu withdrew his eyes and turned his head to look at the wall where they came - it had turned into a huge wooden door.

The wooden door was already crumbling due to the attack from the other side of the wall.

It's just that the woman is still standing there blankly.

"Why didn't you make a move just now?" She turned her back to Yu Yu and asked Yu Yu in a low voice.

"Because you are sure that she will save me." She didn't give Yu Yu time to answer, and followed her own words, asking and answering herself.

"Yes." Yu Yu nodded, and couldn't help admiring the woman's intelligence.

"The little girl's attitude towards others is very indifferent, but she is only obsessed with you." Yu Yu expressed his judgment, "Just because of her behavior of dragging the corpse to wait for you even if she dies, I can almost Inferred, although she doesn't understand life and death, she will definitely not let you be bullied by others, or even a little wronged."

"You see, even you and Yuan Zhi's identities are set by her as wolves who will not be bullied by others." He spread his hands, leaned on Peter, and said, "Even if you are liked by her doll friend The other... skin, just gave the identity of an electric sheep."

Dong Che lowered his head and did not speak. Not long after, he raised his head suddenly, looked at the starry sky covered with stars on the ceiling of the room, and listened to Yu Yu's analysis. After a long time, he opened his lips and said something that had nothing to do with the game field. On an unrelated topic, he said, "Actually, I have always liked unicorns."

"You must want to talk about this kind of dreamy preference. It must look very incompatible with me." She smiled suddenly and lowered her head.

"They are pure and noble, pure and proud." She walked to Yuan Zhi's photo, turned her head and said softly to Yu Yu, "I have never told anyone, not even Yuan Zhi."

"But she always knew."

Dong Che suddenly thought of something, laughed a little self-deprecatingly, took out the red mobile phone from his pocket, opened the cover, and said to himself: "Actually, I didn't tell the truth before."

"I've used the phone nine times, plus the player who came to you later and asked the ghost to help me kill the representative sheep, I've used it four times in this game alone."

She smiled at Yu Yu who was looking at her indifferently, and lowered her head to make the last call that was both a confirmation and an end to everything.

The phone was connected with a beep, and both sides were silent and did not speak.

The woman lowered her eyes and said softly, "Ninny, open the door."

She heard a heavy sound from the wall behind her, turned around, and met the girl holding a pink toy mobile phone in the last hidden room.

"Mom." The girl who always liked to run around obediently stood in her little princess room and greeted Dong Che with blinking eyes.

"Since I came in, you have always been the one who answered the phone, right?" Dong Che walked up to the girl, knelt down, looked at her, and asked.

"Yes, Mom." The girl rolled her eyes and replied, "Mom needs help."

Listening to the mother and daughter's question and answer, Peter suddenly remembered that when he and Yu Yu came out of the studio and met the girl, she happened to be dragging the corpse of a sheep player in her hand, as if he understood something.

The woman used props four times in this game field. The girl told her the location of the map, and the identity of the player with the key clue.

Even, it was the girl herself who killed for her mother.

Peter didn't want to think about the situation when the girl gave a word-by-word reminder to the woman after receiving a call from her mother who didn't know her when she grew up.

But he clearly knew that at that moment, the girl must be jumping for joy.

Peter was silent for a long time, and the woman was also silent for a long time this time.

Then, as if she was relieved, she smiled lightly, and asked firmly, "My daughter's wish is to be with her mother all the time, right?"

"Yes, Mom!!" The girl's voice became louder, her eyes lit up, she put her arms around Dong Che's neck, buried her in the woman's neck, rubbed against her, and smelled her mother.

"An'an." The woman stroked the girl's long hair and changed the name of the girl.

"An'an, this is the name I've been thinking about for a long time." She looked far away, recalling the past, and whispered to the girl softly, "'Dong Che' is also your name—one day after I left you Suddenly thought of it at night."

"You will no longer be a doll without a name." She picked up the girl, turned to look at Yu Yu, kissed the top of the girl's head, and said, "You will no longer be a child without a mother."

She promised the girl: "I won't abandon you again..."

"You know that you don't need to do this. We can also pass through the game field by other means." Yu Yu said, looking at the woman who looked up at him.

"I know." The woman shook her head and explained, "Actually, over the years, I have been telling myself not to regret abandoning her."

"But the truth is, after my recovery from postpartum depression, I regretted it."

"I thought over and over at the time, no matter what Yuan Zhi did, she—An An—she was always innocent."

"It's just that my anger has nowhere to vent. When I found out that my mother took her back to raise her, I burned my anger on the two of them. I never went to see them again because of this."

"However, there is no denying that during that time, I would be alone in the middle of the night thinking about the baby's name."

"I hope she is as pure as a unicorn, so I named her 'Che'; I hope her life will be safe, so I gave her the nickname 'An'an'..." The woman's voice became weaker, sipping He pursed his mouth and stood upright in place.

"Until she died of breath-holding disease caused by improper care, you abandoned your own name and named it your daughter's name for various complicated reasons." Yu Yu continued the woman's words and said.

"And I have been asking myself, what would I do if I went back to that time again?" The woman said lightly, holding the girl who was playing with the hair on her cheek, "——I want to Make up for what?"

Yu Yu listened to the sound of the system notification, and watched the woman's figure gradually fade away.

He saw her nodding to him, showing a smile that Yu Yu had almost never seen before, and finally disappeared into the air soundlessly with the girl who was holding her and refused to let go.
