This NPC really has a problem

"who is this?"

The young man leaned on the railing and asked, Lu Ren inexplicably felt that his voice sounded more aggrieved than before.

It's like... like a kid discovering that his best friend has other friends.

Bai Zhu added fuel to the fire with a lazy tone: "Of course it's a boyfriend."

The young man was dumbfounded, he must have not woken up, otherwise how could he hear these words that he only heard in dreams?

Lu Ren whispered to Bai Zhu helplessly, "Stop teasing him, what are you doing teasing NPCs?"

Bai Zhuli said confidently: "What I said is obviously the truth."

Lu Ren didn't know that Bai Zhu was suffocating, so he didn't say much, but raised his head and asked the young man upstairs: "Are you still waiting outside like before?"

Lu Ren said that the outside is the entrance of the slums, which is also the starting point for the priests to present food.In the memory he got, young people would always wait outside long before the priests arrived, not because they were worried that the food would not be delivered to him, it was purely a personal habit.

The young man became nervous when he heard what Lu Ren said, and asked pitifully, "Aren't you going with me this time?"

He looked at Lu Ren and then at Bai Zhu, as if he was worried that he would meet with his lover.

"...What are you thinking about?" Lu Ren was a little speechless, "I just want to remind you, if you don't go there now, it will be too late."

The young man blinked and let out a cry as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you don't pass, it will be too late!" The young man jumped down from the second floor, dragged Lu Ren and ran outside before Bai Zhu could react.

Bai Zhu could only feel a blurry figure passing by in front of his eyes, and when he looked, Lu Ren's back had already disappeared at the end of the alley.

……

I don't know if it's the game setting or what's going on, the young man's physical strength is surprisingly good, he ran all the way without panting, Lu Ren was completely dragged forward by him in the end.

"Slow down!" Lu Ren had the physical strength of an ordinary person in this dungeon. His eyes were blackened when he ran here, and even his throat smelled of rust.

The carefree young man realized his friend's weak physique at this moment, and hurriedly stopped, but he stopped too quickly, Lu Ren couldn't stop, and hit his head on him.

Lu Ren hissed in pain, covered his forehead and was speechless.

The young man is tall, tall and foolish, and his body is also extraordinarily hard.

The young man's apology sounded vaguely in his ears. Lu Ren raised his hand to block the young man's movement of breathing on his wound, and asked with his eyes closed, "Where's my friend?"

"Your friend?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and later realized that he was talking about Bai Zhu, "You mean your boyfriend? He...he...I don't know where he is."

In the City of Reflections, there is no place where the roads are more complicated than the slums. If you follow someone here, you will lose them if you make a mistake.

Lu Ren realized with a headache that he might have lost Bai Zhu.

The young man knew that he had done something wrong, so he was at a loss and did not dare to speak out, but he was soon attracted by the movement not far away.

"The believers are here!" the young man tugged at Lu Ren's sleeve and said in a low voice.The entrance of the slums is a slightly wider alley, only a few city guards are walking in the front, behind them can be seen faintly the priests' sacrificial robes with complicated and gorgeous patterns.Except for the sound of footsteps and the rolling of wheels, there was no other sound around for a while. The solemn priests were so out of tune with the slums. In front of them, the poor people in the slums couldn't help but stop talking.

The priests would distribute the food on the carts to every poor person they saw. Each of the four priests who came had a benevolent and compassionate smile on their faces, which reminded people of the tall statues in the church.

The first ones to gather around were the children. They had long been familiar with these people who would come every week. After receiving the food, they happily ran back to their mothers.Adults like young people mostly stayed where they were, lowering their heads and not daring to look at the priest who was being guarded by the city guards. The food would always be handed to them.

Lu Ren's vision was mostly blocked by the young man's tall body. He poked his head out from behind the young man and saw that the food distributed by the priests was no different from what the NPC remembered in the previous dungeon. There were raw materials such as flour, and some Baked bread and milk in clay pots.

After the children dispersed, a priest walked towards the young man. He happened to see Lu Ren's face clearly, and he froze in place.

When he looked at Lu Ren, Lu Ren also stared at him. The face of that priest was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a long time.

The priest froze for a moment, then continued to walk forward, but his pace was faster than before.

He handed the food in his hand to the young man, but he never took his eyes off Lu Ren's face.

He seemed to hesitate for a long time, but finally made up his mind and asked, "Excuse me... may I know your name?"

"Lu Ren." Lu Ren was sure that he was just an ordinary NPC in this dungeon, and he had nothing to hide, so he happily told him his name.

But seeing the priest's expression in a daze, he muttered, "Even the names are exactly the same..."

The young man who was left on the side asked in a puzzled voice, "What's the same?"

The priest smiled reluctantly: "He looks a lot like a friend of mine, and even has the same name..."

"That's such a coincidence," the young man said, "But my friend grew up here, so he definitely doesn't know you."

What the young man said was straightforward, but the priest knew what he said was the truth.

Poor people living in slums will never interact with other classes of people in their entire lives.

Lu Ren remained silent.

The priest's words reminded him suddenly that he had indeed seen this priest in the memory of the NPC in the previous dungeon.

If I remember correctly, this priest's name is Lancer, and he is a good old man in the Holy See. During the period after Father Lu Ren was rescued, he was the person who accompanied Father Lu Ren the most.

In this dungeon, everyone must have known about Father Lu Ren's defection to the City of Reflections, but when Father Lancer mentioned him, he didn't have much disgust, and he still focused on regret and nostalgia.

Seeing a person in the slums who was very similar to his old friend in terms of appearance and name, Father Lancer was very emotional, but he knew that person would never return to the City of Reflections, no matter how similar they looked, they were still two completely different people.

After a low sigh, Father Lancer handed another portion of food to Lu Ren, and called the city guard to continue walking into the depths of the slum.

……

Bai Zhu hurriedly walked, his face sinking like water.

The fact that Lu Ren disappeared made him feel extremely irritated, people disappeared in front of his eyes, he just felt like there was a piece missing in his heart, once he thought of it, he was so irritated that he couldn't speak.

What kind of broken setting is this... It seems that Lu Ren must have a close friend in this game.

Not to mention the first dungeon, in the second dungeon, Mr. Tulun was once the person Steward Lu relied on the most; in the third dungeon, the atmosphere between Boss Lu and Danyou was indescribably delicate; Lu Renren was inseparable, the fifth Zeng Ge used power for personal gain in the game, and the sixth dungeon, Father Lu, still had a personality in his body.

Bai Zhu is including that evil personality.At the last dungeon, another inexplicable man appeared and took Lu Ren away.

Bai Zhu knew that most of the settings about Lu Ren in the game were written by Zeng Ge, and that was his own slip of the tongue. At this moment, Bai Zhu wanted to drag Zeng Ge out and beat him up.

Zeng Ge's obsession with the touching brotherhood makes Bai Zhu wonder if there is some ulterior motive hidden in his heart.

A person suddenly appeared at the corner in front of him, Bai Zhu suddenly stopped, and looked at the person in front of him coldly.

She patted her chest, as if frightened, but she still had a smile on her face.

"Why did you go in such a hurry." She said in a tone that seemed to be complaining.

Bai Zhu looked at him coldly, without saying a word.

The girl seemed completely unaware of the hostility exuded by Bai Zhu, looked around, and gave a slight surprise: "Where is the person who was with you yesterday, why is it missing?"

These words undoubtedly added fuel to Bai Zhu's anger.

"But...it's just right not to be here," the girl looked at Bai Zhu with frowning eyebrows, "I can't trust anyone in the City of Reflections."

The author has something to say: Zeng Ge: I deserve to die unjustly!
