Forced to bind with escape game NPC [unlimited]

Bran crouched beside the bedside table. In the dimly lit room, a narrow light shone in front of her through the gap in the bedroom door.

Outside the door, there were insults from men and heart-piercing screams from women.

There was a crisp bang, and it was unknown which glass had suffered.

Bran is very familiar with this scene, she has experienced it countless times.

Unlike other children in the kindergarten, her parents will not buy her favorite dolls and take her to the amusement park.Dad often stays out at night, and when he comes home, he often smells strongly of alcohol.My mother is always busy in the kitchen alone, and she wipes tears every time I look for her.

"It would be great without you." More than once, Bran heard his mother say to her, "I can leave easily without you."

In order not to make his mother angry, Bran often nests in the room alone, flipping through those fairy tale books with pinyin.

If she couldn't understand the words on it, she just looked at the pictures.

But such days seem to be numbered.In the afternoon, she heard from her mother that she would take her out of the house soon.In the new house, there will be her favorite doll and another little brother.

With a "boom", the man outside kicked the door open forcefully, and frowned when he saw Bran huddled by the window.

The door was shut with a "bang", taking away the little girl's only glimmer of light.

"Jiang Shuimiao is crying again!" The man in the class shouted loudly at the teacher who was approaching the door of the class.

"Why are you crying again?" The head teacher sighed helplessly, and waved to the male student sitting by the window, telling him to come to his office.

The boy wiped his eyes hard, sniffed, and followed while crying.

"Jiang Shuimiao, you are already a third-grade student, and you want to set an example for your younger siblings who are in the first and second grades, why are you crying again?" the teacher educated.

"I...I..." The boy choked up and didn't say a word for a long time.

He had just handed out the test paper for the monthly exam. He scored 98 points and accidentally made a wrong question.This achievement will make parents unhappy.

How much the boy wanted to say this.

"Forget it." Seeing that he didn't hold back a word, the teacher lost patience, "Next time I cry again, I will ask your parents about the situation."

"No, no..." Jiang Shuimiao shook her head desperately.He doesn't want the teacher to find the parents.

Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the class bell, and the teacher told him to go to class quickly.

At the door of the house, Jiang Shuimiao was holding the test paper with a score of 98, and the door was suddenly opened.

"Auntie Housekeeping saw that you didn't come in at the door, what's the matter with you?" The woman in a smart suit and skirt trousers stretched out her hand and pulled him into the door, "Don't dawdle, change your shoes yourself, I'm still waiting for me to continue driving." video conference."

With an "oh", he stuffed the paper into the side bag of his schoolbag, slowly put on his slippers, and entered the house.

After a while, Jiang Shuimiao knocked on the door of the study while clutching the paper.

"Mom, I..."

"Wait a minute, I'm in a meeting."

His voice was interrupted, so he had to go back to his room angrily.

After dinner in the evening, Jiang Shuimiao, who was doing homework in the room, was suddenly called out in a serious tone.

"Miaomiao, the teacher said in the parent group that there is an exam today? Why don't you show us the exam paper."

Parents on the sofa, one is watching the news on a tablet, and the other is looking at a mobile phone.

"I afternoon..."

"Did you fail the exam, so you hid it?" The woman turned off the phone screen and looked at her child.

Her eyes were very sharp, like a manager who was staring at her subordinates, which put Jiang Shuimiao under a lot of pressure.

"I forgot, Mom." While trying to get the words out, he glanced at Dad on the sofa, his eyes still on the tablet.

After taking out the test paper, the result was as he imagined.

Mom pointed to the only wrong question on the test paper, and was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you wrong about this kind of question?"

Her tone was a little heavy, and it was this little bit that Jiang Shuimiao's sensitive lacrimal glands began to produce tears.

He didn't want to...

"Why are you crying again? You hid the test paper and didn't tell us that I haven't told you yet. Why did you cry after just a few words?" The woman's tone didn't soften at all.

"One more set of questions tonight, take them out for me to check." She pointed to the child's room, "Go in and cry, and then do the questions."

The boy had to go back to the room, while wiping the unstoppable tears, while doing the questions.

***

Qi Anqi didn't expect that the guild he and Shiyi founded would grow little by little.

Eleven is the manager of a big company in reality, and she applied for an intern in his company by accident.After the two got acquainted in reality, they first established a forum to collect game information, and then created a guild together in the game.

Her game code name is 77, so the guild was named 711 as a matter of course.

When she took the guild members through the dungeon, she did not expect to meet the man she saw in the forest last time.

This is a copy of the ghost hotel with the background. The clues for customs clearance are in the room. Every time you open a room, you have to face the unknown danger in the room.It could be a cobweb-strewn lair, or a mummified coffin lid.

"Qian Qi?"

She didn't expect the man's eyes to light up, and he immediately called out her name.

There are no traps and crises in his room, just an ordinary hotel room.

"Why are you here?"

After leaving that dungeon, Qi Anqi investigated the so-called "dungeon black hole" and "defense mechanism", but found nothing helpful.

She can only summarize the encounter into the plot of the dungeon. The man who can become a giant beast is an NPC.

"The system says that there may be intruders in this dungeon." The man answered honestly.

Intruder?Was it something that emerged from the black hole last time?

Before Qi Anqi could open his mouth, he looked at the man's lowered eyes and asked affirmatively, "This time, you didn't come to look for me, did you?"

Why did he think that he came to find him?She doesn't understand.

"This is for you, maybe you will need it." The man handed out a key, "This is what was originally occupied by this room... the creature you call a copy monster, holding something."

She was about to say something when Eleven's voice came from not far away: "Qiqi? Are you in any trouble?"

"No!" Qi Anqi responded immediately, "I'm fine, you don't need to come over."

If Eleven sees someone of unknown origin, the man may be in trouble.

It's strange, this is the second time Qi Anqi meets him, but he doesn't want to get him into trouble.

"Qiqi...?" The other party asked suspiciously, "Why did he call you Qiqi?"

Seeing Eleven still walking towards her, Qi Anqi had no choice but to approach this room and close the door from behind.

"My name is Qi Anqi. Qiqi is a simple code name and an easy-to-remember abbreviation. He is familiar with me, so he will call me that."

She looked at the man and said "Oh" half understanding.

"What about my name?" the man asked incongruously.

Qi Anqi remembered, she said last time that she wanted to name him...

Well, this kind of energy to rush people to name them must not be players.

When Qi Anqi was thinking about his name, there was a knock on the door from behind: "Qiqi?"

The man who was patiently waiting for her to think in front of her focused his eyes on the door: "If you want to get rid of him, I can kill him for you."

"..." Qi An said, "You misunderstood, he is my CP, he only came to see me because he was worried about something happening to me."

"CP?"

Qi An pointed to the tassel earrings hanging on the base of the ears: "Here, the binding items issued by the system, his and I are a pair of tokens, so it is the CP relationship in this game."

Following her fingers, the man's gaze shifted to Qi Anqi's ear, and then stayed on her again.

"Lu Qi, what's the name? My name is Qiqi, and I'll name you Liuqi." After Qi An finished speaking, there was an urge to reach out and rub the stray cat after naming it.

"Then I will be called Lu Qi from now on." The man did not reject this name at all.

The knocking on the door became urgent, and Qi Anqi suspected that if he didn't open the door, people outside would break in with props.

"I have to go." She opened the door very quickly, slipped out by herself, and closed it tightly again.

Eleven outside the door looked confused: "What are you doing inside?"

Qi Anqi spread out her palm, holding the key that Lu Qi gave her: "I just got this from the dungeon monster."

And the "copy monster" behind the door is seriously thinking about a word: "CP?"

***

Bran has matured precociously since he was a child.

She used her little head to think hard about the current situation.

Her mother took her out of the old house and into a new home, where she did have a doll and a little brother that she never had.In addition, there is an uncle.

However, this is still not what she wants.She always felt that something should happen in a few years, and this event was the turning point of her life.

Turning point?What does this word mean?

Recently, some difficult vocabulary that she has never been exposed to always pops up in her head. Even her primary school teacher seldom uses these words to her students.

Today, that uncle came home early again.Mother was not there, and uncle waved at her. After she approached, he gently stroked her head.

"Your mother has something to do today, she will come back later, and asked me to supervise you for taking a shower and eating." The man's smile made Bran feel a certain discomfort, "You know where you usually change your clothes, go and get them, uncle Take you to take a bath."

Bran doesn't think he should be repelled, after all, her mother told her that she can get close to her uncle as her father.Mom also hopes that she can be close to uncle.

She stared closely at the man's big rough hand and the hair on the back of his hand, feeling a kind of psychological and physical nausea.

A strange feeling told her she couldn't go with him.

This feeling is like the "Animal World" she watched last night: "The cheetah hides well, but the antelope starts to escape. We can only attribute this to the instinct of wild animals when they face their natural enemies." .”

She didn't know why she still remembered such a long passage, but she firmly believed in the next second that she should follow this intuition.

"Uncle, I didn't sweat today, and I don't want to take a shower." As soon as the little girl finished speaking, without giving the man a chance to speak, she ran back to the room and locked the door.

Behind the door, Bran scanned her room. On the back of the chair in front of the study table, there was a red cloak with the inside black as ink.

This cloak has always been under her nose, but she never realized that something was wrong. Today, she noticed it.

"Intuition" told her that something was wrong.

From elementary school to junior high school, Jiang Shuimiao still hasn't changed her habit of crying.

"You are already in double digits. Dad won't shed tears when you fall down at this time."

"You're a boy, why don't you have any manliness at all, you cry like a little girl every day."

As long as his parents talk about him, Jiang Shuimiao's tears will fall down uncontrollably.

One night, Mom and Dad, uncharacteristically, were not on the couch doing their own thing. Instead, they were arguing about something.

"I have a meeting tomorrow, you can take him there."

"No, the project I'm following will end tomorrow, so I have to go."

The next day, Jiang Shuimiao knew what they were arguing about. They were arguing about who should take him to the doctor.

However, this doctor is different from the white coat he once remembered. There is no stethoscope hanging around his neck, and there is no unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the room.

He was sitting on the spacious sofa, and the female doctor opposite him chatted with him kindly.

She was patient and willing to wait for him to finish his sentence.

When she heard him say that she loves to cry, she even said that this is not a bad thing, that crying can improve her mood.

"Will you feel better after crying?"

Faced with this problem, Jiang Shuimiao couldn't tell, because sometimes he cried and cried and felt even worse.

A few days after seeing the doctor, he heard his parents talking about him again in the living room.

"The psychiatrist said that we didn't pay enough attention to the child, and didn't we invest enough? Spend money to put him in the best elementary and junior high schools, send him to cram schools, and let him win at the starting line."

"He also said that he can be properly comforted when crying. He is already 12 years old, do he still need his parents to coax him?"

Hearing what his mother said, Jiang Shuimiao couldn't help crying again.

The sky seemed to sense his emotions, and it began to rain lightly.

***

Qi An sits on a chair in the player hall.The points leaderboard not far away, her personal ranking, her and Eleven's CP ranking, and the ranking of the 711 guild, all three are constantly rising.

As the guild expanded, she obtained more and more information.

She began to focus on the existence of the game itself.Players who have entered this game have more or less encountered some unsatisfactory things in their lives.

Losing loved ones, breaking up families, falling in love... entering this game world is not a coincidence.

There is also a saying that people who enter the game lack some kind of "love", so the game system assigns players CP, trying to give another kind of "love" to make up for the lost love.

It doesn't sound malicious.

It's just that the ruler/object of this game world doesn't seem to understand that some emotions cannot be forced on Anjia, it's like a blind date and arranged wedding banquet, if it's suitable, it's luck, if it's not, it's not strange at all.

In addition, the topic of hidden rewards has recently become popular among major guilds.Qi Anqi already has four hidden rewards in his hand, they are all items called "love crystals", and they have not found any use for the time being.

If you want to obtain these hidden items, without exception, you must make up for the regrets of some NPCs in the dungeon and open the hidden ending.The achievement of these endings is often accompanied by close to 100% dungeon completion.

The reason why it is said to be close is because there was one exception, and the completion rate of that time was 99%.

And the copy of that time was another copy of the ghost hotel where she met the mysterious man.

Lu Qi...?There are some things she has never heard of, such as "defense mechanism", such as encountering the same NPC in different instances.

Encountering something he couldn't figure out, Qi Anqi, who was sitting in his seat, chose to enter the dungeon to change his mind.

Unlike other players, she did not reject the strategy dungeon at all, which was much richer than her computer games.

It's just that she didn't expect that someone she remembered would meet again in the dungeon.

Including her, every player in the deep ancient house is followed by an NPC after entering the game. Among these NPCs, there is a "ghost". Players need to find this ghost and explore the secrets hidden in the ancient house .If you find the wrong "ghost", the player followed by the NPC will also be out of the game.

Lu Qi said that he is not an NPC, and now he follows him like other NPCs...

In a place where no one was around, Qi Anqi asked with a troubled face, "Are there any intruders in this dungeon?"

"No." Lu Qi replied, "I ask the system to send me to your copy to find you."

Qi An was at a loss: "Why do you want me?"

The other party showed a confused expression similar to her: "I don't know, I just want to come to you, and we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Qi Anqi had to accept this answer which could not be called an answer.

The other NPCs in the dungeon have almost no flaws. They all look like living human beings, with their own thinking and analysis.But Lu Qi was different, he agreed with Qi Anqi's words unconditionally.

"Do you really think that the treasure in the basement was taken by the NPC No. 1? I don't think so."

After Qi Anchi finished speaking, he saw Lu Qi beside him and nodded.

"Except for 'Ghost', are the other NPCs just ordinary NPCs that have nothing to do with the plot of this dungeon? If we say, other NPCs also have their own selfish intentions, but they won't hurt people or cause damage, so they won't be called If it is called a 'ghost', then we have more things to investigate."

This time, Lu Qi even said "hmm" twice to save face.

Qi An chirped: "..."

Before entering the old house, all NPCs follow the player. After entering the old house, the player has to stare at them in order to prevent their NPCs from being "ghosts" or making suspicious actions.

On Qi Anqi's side, Lu Qi followed her inseparably.

He was like a follower, wishing to be with her all the time, and asked, "It's been a long time since we saw each other."

Finally, some other players couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hey, let me tell you that you fell in love with this NPC at first sight, right?"
