Stop, that monster!

Zheng Wei suddenly saw the panda turning his head back. He had hundreds of questions in his mind, but after thinking about it, it seemed that these questions had little to do with him. Moreover, even if he asked, the panda would not say —if he didn't even say who he was.

Zheng Wei hesitated in his heart. He already knew Dongfang Xu's identity, so it was difficult to treat him as an ordinary player.

Undoubtedly, he has something to ask of him. These days, what he has been thinking about day and night is how to obtain a body, and he has even put in great efforts for this, lowering his bottom line again and again.

And Dongfang Xu in front of him can easily turn what he thinks about day and night into reality.But Zheng Wei is also very clear that Dongfang Xu has stated at the very beginning that "the emperor cannot give you an amnesty order". Although Dongfang Xu has one or another subjective and objective reasons, if he continues to get close to Dongfang Xu , as the relationship between the two deepens, he will definitely have expectations for Dongfang Xu that he shouldn't have at all.These expectations will eventually come to nothing, and he can't even guarantee that as his feelings for Dongfang Xu increase, will he not get a trace of resentment towards Dongfang Xu because of this request.

Zheng Wei didn't want such a situation to happen at all, and he didn't even hope that when he was struggling, thinking of Dongfang Xu's status as emperor would make him feel unjust.

It's like waiting for money to save your life. If a stranger has tens of billions of money in his hands, of course it won't matter.But if one's good friends, good brothers, or even relatives and family members have huge sums of tens of billions, he will not plead, he will not design the other party, and he will not have the slightest grudge because of the other party's rejection.

At that time, I am afraid that the deeper the relationship, the more they will care about this matter.It may even cause the initial friendship between the two to turn sour, from a sincere friendship to an ulterior motive of clinging.

Zheng Wei was afraid that one day he would blame Dongfang Xu in his heart because of this kind of thing. He had seen himself now—conspiracy and killing people to achieve his goals. Abnormal environment, complete distortion and deterioration, at that time, he also spurned himself.He really didn't have confidence in himself.

And what about Dongfang Xu?If you let him see his hard work and persistence, will the other party be indifferent?Will the other party change their original thoughts and insist on it?Will it become unprincipled?

Zheng Wei stood where he was, not taking a step forward for a long time.

But Dongfang Xu was stunned in the pavilion for a while, then walked towards Zheng Wei, grinning and showing a big smile: "Why are you here?"

Zheng Wei didn't answer this question, he asked instead: "Why are you here?"

The panda's two furry ears trembled: "I'm here to watch the scenery, and I'm also thinking about something."

Now that the two have started talking, Zheng Wei discarded the idea of ​​taking a detour, and now that the two have met, it would be even more strange to take a detour, so Zheng Wei asked casually, "What are you thinking?"

Dongfang Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei's arm stiffened for a moment. He wanted to shake off Dongfang Xu's hand, but then he thought, if the other party was not the emperor, would he be so resistant to Dongfang Xu at this time?In the end, I am just a layman, even if I am not tempted, it will be difficult to return to the previous mentality that has no reservations about pandas.

Dongfang Xu didn't know what Zheng Wei was thinking, he took Zheng Wei's stiff hand, pulled him to the edge of the pavilion by the lake, and patted himself: "Sit down, I was just thinking, if If you are here, the ice slag lake will definitely look better."

Zheng Wei was taken aback: "Ice slag lake? Here?"

The panda looked blank: "Of course it is here. There are ice slags floating on the lake, which is very beautiful, right. I never thought that there would be such a scenery in horror games."

Zheng Wei was a little apprehensive: "You once said... this place is very safe, and it's very suitable for talking and looking at the scenery. Panda, don't you really know what this place is?"

Dongfang Xu shook his head and looked at Zheng Wei suspiciously.

Zheng Wei sighed slightly in his heart: "So, are you really here to enjoy the scenery, or are you lost and don't know how to get back?"

The panda scratched his ears and said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter if you get lost. It's colder and quiet here, so I'll think about it while I'm lost."

This is the second time Zheng Wei has heard Dongfang Xu say that he is thinking about something. He rarely sees this panda thinking. When the panda thinks, he wants to laugh a little. have what?But the panda looked at the lake in the distance, and seemed to be talking to himself: "You mean, do intelligent programs count as humans?"

Zheng Wei didn't want to discuss this kind of question with Dongfang Xu, and he didn't know how to answer it.

Seeing that Zheng Wei didn't speak, Dongfang Xu didn't care, his brows were wrinkled, and the way he was concentrating on the problem made Zheng Wei want to rub him.

Dongfang Xu pondered for a while and didn't speak again. He suddenly turned his head to look at Zheng Wei, and said, "Didn't you always want to get a body? Why don't you try writing to the emperor and asking for an amnesty?"

The thought of rubbing the panda in Zheng Wei's heart disappeared immediately, he looked at Dongfang Xu quietly, and smiled: "I don't think His Majesty the Emperor will be willing to give me this amnesty order."

The panda's tone became a little irritable: "If you don't try, how will you know? Maybe he is willing?"

Zheng Wei shook his head. He didn't know why Dongfang Xu would suddenly discuss this with him. This issue was a bit sensitive considering the identities of both parties.

Zheng Wei thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I remember you said, 'Trust me, the emperor will definitely reject you'. Moreover, after I learned some things, I understood even more that this road will not work at all. Since If this road is blocked, why go all the way to darkness?"

The panda stood up and turned around in the pavilion, with his hands behind his back, making his figure look a bit heavy.

Zheng Wei quietly looked at the panda who was like a headless chicken.Finally, the panda stood still and looked at Zheng Wei: "What I said may not be true, just try it, maybe you will succeed."

Zheng Wei sat on the spot without moving. He wanted to say several times, if you really want to help me, why didn't you just give me an order, why bother to ask me?But he couldn't ask in the end.

After a while, Zheng Wei said: "As far as I know, I don't need to take the initiative to write a letter for the amnesty order. If the emperor is willing and able, he will issue it; if...some things are too embarrassing, even if you say it, it's nothing It will only increase troubles, and instead of having a glimmer of unrealistic hope, it is better to recognize the reality early in the morning and take a possible path."

The panda stopped in his tracks, and he stared at Zheng Wei blankly. The other party's expression was stern, his eyes were clear, and his well-defined profile showed stubbornness and persistence.

At this moment, the lake wind passed by, and pieces of red plums flew into the pavilion and scattered around Zheng Wei, which looked like splashed blood.

Dongfang Xu felt a pain in his heart for no reason. Perhaps no one knew better than him how much Zheng Wei wanted to be a real person, and how many hardships he had gone through all the way from the library to here.

If possible, Dongfang Xu would not hesitate to order him a body, but in the end, he is not just a panda in the game, his real world is outside.

Dongfang Xu could hear the sigh in his heart, and he regretted discussing this topic with Zheng Wei. Such a question and answer undoubtedly hurt the other party, but at this time, Dongfang Xu felt a little lucky in his heart, glad that the other party didn't know his truth Identity, otherwise, this npc whose feelings are not much different from human beings, must be like a sharp knife stabbing his heart at this moment-the only trustworthy friend, instead of lending a helping hand, he gave him some hope that did not exist at all.

Dongfang Xu suddenly thought, it would be great if Zheng Wei was not an npc or an intelligent program.In this way, at least you can give yourself a reason to take the risk to help him, even if it is the reason of "saving a human soul from the game" that is not even a little bit of political factors, you can convince yourself to take a risky gamble like Don Quixote challenged the windmill Bundle.However, I can't accept the reason to help an intelligent program escape, to risk the possible subversion of the regime, to gamble, because this is not only a rational choice, but even emotionally, I can only judge myself four words — everything is lost.

Zheng Wei knew that Dongfang Xu was looking at him, but he never turned his head. He just looked at the lake in the distance. On the lake in the distance, the ice cubes in the center of the lake floated back and forth, and sometimes even made a crisp crashing sound.

The two remained silent for a long time, before Dongfang Xu stepped forward and sincerely said to Zheng Wei: "I think, even though it is difficult, even though the road you chose to enter the core area of ​​the game is full of thorns, I sincerely hope You can make it."

When Zheng Wei turned his head, the panda's eyes were round and bright, and the sincerity in them could be seen at a glance.

Zheng Wei smiled slightly: "I know you want to help me very much, and maybe you will blame yourself because you can't help me. But, everyone has their own world and their own path. not coming."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Wei stood up and walked out of the pavilion.He still needs to continue killing water-type players to level up. He is really afraid that if he talks with Dongfang Xu, he will feel unwilling and ask him for help, which will completely deteriorate the relationship between the two.

As Zheng Wei walked, his right hand hanging by his side gradually turned into a transparent ice blade, and there were dots of blue streamer on the Iceland, which brightened his steps and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

Dongfang Xu stared blankly at Zheng Wei's back. For the first time, he felt that this npc was so different from those intelligent programs he had seen before, that it was unique and unique.
