Welcome to Nightmare Game III

The cold wind at night blows away the heat from the pot.

Qi Leren hummed an out-of-key tune, and scooped out a large bowl of jellyfish soup with a long spoon.This kind of jellyfish floating in the sky for photosynthesis turns into a sticky jelly after being cooked. It may be because of overcooking, and its color has also become very strange. It is suspected that the contents of the bowl are a bowl of soil mixed with water.

"It's ready to eat, here you are." Qi Leren handed the jellyfish soup to Ning Zhou.

Ning Zhou looked at the unknown substance in the bowl: "...what is this?"

Qi Leren blinked: "The main food in the devil world - boiled vegetables."

Ning Zhou pursed his lips, held the big bowl, and stared at the unknown substance in the bowl for half a minute.

Then he said solemnly: "The vegetables I used to eat..."

not like this?Qi Leren answered the second half of the sentence for him in his mind.

But sometimes, Ning Zhou always has unexpected words.For example, now, he said: "...can't fly."

Ning Zhou said that the vegetables he ate before could not fly.

can't fly!

Qi Leren was poked at a strange point of laughter, and was immediately overjoyed.

is not that right?Vegetables in the human world do not grow air sacs and fly high in the sky to carry out photosynthesis, nor do they float around, migrating around like migratory birds, chasing sunshine and rain.

When cooking the vegetables just now, Ning Zhou watched the pot of vegetable soup become weird with serious and disgusted eyes.He hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to offer tactful comments on Qi Leren's cooking skills, but he himself was not sure how to cook this strange flying vegetable, so he had no choice but to keep silent, and finally ushered in a The color and smell of the bowl was written as a "not good" dinner.

He must be very sorry.

Once again, Qi Leren was so cute in his own imagination, he clenched his fist and put it on his mouth to snicker.But the more I want to hold back, the more I can't help it.

This patience was completely defeated after Ning Zhou took a sip of the flying vegetable soup.

The expression on Ning Zhou's face changed from hesitation to shock, and then from shock to fear. Finally, he looked at the bowl of vegetable soup in disbelief, as if he was thinking about how there could be such an unpalatable thing in this world.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" Qi Leren laughed like crazy.He fell back into the blankets again, hugging the long fur cloak he was wearing and laughing until his stomach ached.

Ning Zhou didn't know what was so funny about it, he had a stern face, suspecting that this was another prank by the succubus.

Qi Leren was tired of laughing, he was out of breath, his eyes were slightly red, and a few tears of laughter hung on his eyelashes, which were immediately frozen by the cold wind, and fell into the long fur of the cloak as he blinked.

He wiped the corners of his eyes casually: "It's been a long time since I laughed so happily. I can't laugh like this again. If I continue to laugh, my stomach hurts."

Ning Zhou couldn't remember how old he was the last time he couldn't stop laughing, it must have been a long time ago.Because, since he entered the Holy See of Neverland, he never smiled that much again.

He no longer expresses joy with laughter, he no longer even pursues happiness.For him, the most worth pursuing in life is inner peace and tranquility.All he wanted was the peace of mind with a clear conscience.

But did he really no longer want to be happy?

Ning Zhou looked at his future lover: he also served himself a bowl of jellyfish soup, took it up and sniffed it, as if some kind of furry animal was testing the food placed in front of it.

"It seems really unpalatable. If you eat it, you will..." The culprit stuck out his tongue and made a poisoned grimace.

Like a piece of soft feather, it tickled Ning Zhou's heart.

"Shall we dump it?" his future lover made a tempting proposition.

He was very excited, his heart pounding.

"Or throw it to the griffin." The wicked succubus pointed to the dazed griffin in the distance, who didn't know what he was about to encounter.

He laughed suddenly.

Qi Leren was stunned, he thought he was hallucinating.

The paladin smiled, his young and handsome face radiant with the smile.The vigilance and suspicion, indifference and sharpness at first meeting melt away in this smile.

"No. It is shameful to waste it, and we must eat it," he said gravely. "Eat it all."

Qi Leren opened his mouth blankly.

"It's the jellyfish soup you cooked, you have to drink at least half of it." He continued, with a slightly less "Ning Zhou" in his smile.

It is these things that make him from a person who is taken back to the past in a daze to a person who lives in the present.

Not a silhouette entrusted with the future, but the real him who was once frozen under the polar ice and snow of Neverland.

Qi Leren was dumbfounded.

"I can provide black bread. Although it is also very difficult to eat, it can be swallowed when soaked in soup." He said, and put two pieces of black bread that were as hard as iron bars in front of Qi Le people. There is provocation hidden in the eyes, and there is also the little revenge of a young man.

At this moment, Qi Leren thought in a daze.

There will be retribution for bullying honest people.

Ning Zhou, probably, maybe, maybe, is not as honest as he thought.

………………

A goofy couple struggles with a lousy dinner.

Qi Leren is very self-aware, he has always been a person who does not embarrass himself, although he cannot be said to be extravagant and lustful, but to make himself more comfortable as conditions permit, this is the way of thinking of normal modern people.

But Ning Zhou was not.

He is a person who is used to hard work.

He will not starve himself or freeze himself, but when he is hungry, he chooses food that can fill his stomach instead of delicacies, and when it is cold, he wears clothes that are enough to keep out the cold instead of fine clothes.

Restraint, moderation, gratitude, and not asking for more.

Therefore, not wasting food is the principle instilled in his brain since he was a child.

He follows this principle, the difference is that the future Ning Zhou will silently sweep away the leftovers on the table when Qi Le people can't eat, while the current Ning Zhou...

He stared at Qi Leren's bowl, there was more than half of the strangely colored jellyfish soup left in it, and the soaked but still unpalatable black bread.

"I'm really full." Qi Leren said without tears, "I'm not hungry at all. I don't need to eat for three days and three nights."

He could really go without food for a few days. For a person close to the field level, eating was no longer necessary.

"You only ate three bites in total." Ning Zhou broke through, "It is impossible for an adult to be full with three bites."

"This one is very hungry." Qi Leren spoke nonsense with his eyes open.

"I've eaten, and I'm not very hungry." Ning Zhou said, and condemned the lying succubus with his eyes.

Ning Zhou turned against him!

This kid would actually argue with him!

Sure enough, he is still a childish brat!

Qi Leren was angry and funny.Although it's fun to argue with each other, as a mature adult, he has a lot of ways to make immature children obedient.

He stopped talking.

In the silence, only the slight crackle of the campfire burning, and the sound of the cold wind blowing through the cedar forest, and the sound of the treetops trembling slightly.

Maybe there are also the sound of heartbeat and breathing, one's own and the other's.

In the silence, Ning Zhou was restless. He always felt that he seemed to have done something wrong, so he couldn't help secretly looking at the silent Qi Leren.

The succubus lowered its head, the furry cloak wrapped him tightly, and the fluff at the collar fluttered slightly in the cold wind, as if kissing his cheek lightly, but he didn't realize it.

The glamorousness of desire and the quiet innocence co-exist in him without any conflict. The former is imposed on him by the shape of the succubus, while the latter is his own.

He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the soup bowl in his hands. The jellyfish soup inside was already cold, and there was no trace of heat coming out.His lips were so red that people couldn't take their eyes off them, they were tightly pursed, resisting this nasty food.

After a long time, he finally plucked up the courage and asked in a low voice, "Can you still eat?"

Ning Zhou didn't answer right away.

The succubus raised her head, with a shy red face: "Shall we make a deal? You eat the leftover jellyfish soup, and I'll treat it for you, okay?"

"..."

Seeing that Ning Zhou was still silent.

The succubus moved her body uneasily, and leaned cautiously towards him.Under the cloak, the restless tail crept out quietly, poked and rubbed Ning Zhou's arm coquettishly.

The succubus blushed even more, and he quickly claimed his tail back.

"It's not good to waste, but I really can't eat it. I've never eaten such an unpalatable thing." The succubus said pitifully, and glanced at him shyly, for fear that the young knight would have nothing to eat. Refuse him mercilessly, "I don't like to eat this... you can eat it for me, and then I will treat you..."

The succubus stretched out her finger and pointed playfully at her left eye.Following his movements, his left eye closed slightly, and then opened quickly.

This wink is like a vague seduction, but also like a coquettish act of innocence without desire.

The succubus' caramel-colored pupils shot out endless sweetness in the opening and closing, enough to make all bitter and unpalatable food tainted with pure sweetness.

He did it on purpose.Ning Zhou thought to himself.He is slyly showing his charm, subtly and unpretentiously seducing him to agree, he is acting like a baby.

Moreover, he was sure that it would be useful for him to do so, and the cunning succubus was confident of this, because he must have never failed.

He also really can't fail.

Because before the brain gave any instructions, the body had already started to move - Ning Zhou silently took the jellyfish soup in the hand of the succubus, and drank it neatly.

He drank the suspiciously colored jellyfish pieces, the soaked black bread, and the cold soup.

His sense of taste seemed to be broken at this moment, he couldn't taste the bad taste, he only felt it was very sweet.

Not from the tongue, but from the heart.

The succubus opened her mouth in astonishment, watched him empty the soup bowl, and clapped her hands foolishly.

He clapped his hands, his face full of wonder and admiration: "You really finished drinking!"

Ning Zhou put down the soup bowl with a blank expression on his face, but there was an indescribable pride in his heart, just like every time he completed the task assigned to him by the Holy See.

The succubus smiled sweetly and repeatedly praised him for being great.He has a smooth tongue, and he talks about drinking a bowl of bad vegetable soup as if he defeated the will of the world.

He praised the Paladin's courage, perseverance, kindness and sacrifice, as if Ning Zhou had just rescued him from being surrounded by thousands of demons.

But he just helped him finish a bowl of jellyfish soup.Ning Zhou couldn't help blushing, and tried to stop the succubus from bragging a few times, but the succubus always had a way to continue boasting from a different angle.

Ning Zhou couldn't bear to change the subject: "Is this a staple food in the devil world?"

Succubus nodded: "You often eat this in the Demon Realm."

Ning Zhou's expression is solemn, as if the future is a sea of ​​swords and flames: "It seems that my future life... will be very difficult."

The succubus burst out laughing with a "puchi", as he always does, he laughed out of nowhere, which puzzled Ning Zhou.But he likes to see the succubus smile, his face is full of happiness, and this kind of happiness always spreads to him silently.

"It's very difficult." The eyes of the succubus who laughed enough were shining, "You still sleep in the storage room on a hardwood bed, and you have to read the scriptures for a while before going to bed. When you have a whim, you can randomly check the status of the demons' study of the scriptures. If they fail, their heads will be cut off. So they have to study the scriptures without a moment's relaxation, and they have less time to do bad things."

Ning Zhou nodded seriously: "Very good."

The succubus smiled and looked at him tenderly: "And we, every night at midnight, we have to drink a cup of Hrisvato white coffee. With the magic of this coffee, we will see each other. Even if we are three Haven't seen each other for years, but to me, you've never left. You've always..."

The succubus put his hand on his heart, where his beating heart was, the reverse scale bestowed on him by his lover.

"You've always been in my heart," he said.

At this moment, Ning Zhou suddenly felt that the miserable and hopeless future in the diary was actually not as terrible as he imagined.

With love and hope, and yearning for a bright future, he voluntarily walked into hell.

He is loved.

He is no longer alone.

The author has something to say:

Le Mei: As a mature adult, I have plenty of ways to make immature children obey!

Then, start acting like a baby.

Is this a mature adult?

Ning Zhou couldn't hold back at all!
