Homecoming through online games

=====================

This night is destined not to be quiet.

Ye Mu never knew that he still had the talent to climb trees, but in fact, he is rolling and jumping among the dense branches, he is more flexible than the most cunning monkey.

In the game, his character, Ye Woruo, has indeed learned the hidden assassination skills of the Palace of Seven Kills, flying over walls. If this body can climb trees because of this, it makes sense.The problem is that in reality, he has never climbed a tree in the 15 years since he was seven years old.

Human potential is forced out, this is really an undeniable truth.

Whoever stands on a thousand-meter-high cliff can only rely on the steep rocks and the horizontal trees. Outside there are groups of dead owls circling and howling, and there are many monsters staring at them, and there is a dark valley below. There are also many small and nimble parasitic monsters climbing back and forth, and if they find the target and rush forward, they will try their best to grasp every branch that can be touched, and fumble desperately to learn how to land without making a sound. moving quickly in it.

The wound on the shoulder and back was burning hot, and every time he stretched out his hand towards a new branch of tree, he would show his existence with a stronger wave of pain, but he still completely ignored it.

It was a long scar left on his back by a sharp claw monster in order to avoid the heavy stick swung by the berserker before he jumped down the cliff. At that time, the pain made his eyes darken and he almost fell off the cliff, but now he can't. Almost used to it.

Originally, he had other plans, but the demon's determination was more inevitable than he expected. He vaguely felt that there was at least an entire army of demons searching the mountain, and it was almost impossible to move at the end. It will be difficult to escape.The torches illuminated the forest like daytime, and the red spots on the map almost covered the entire area in one piece.What's worse is that the other party seems to be able to know his movements. No matter how hard he tries to get rid of the pursuers and hide, there will always be more monsters surrounding him to investigate his position, making him even take a short rest There is no room for a reply.If it weren't for those monsters who seemed to have concerns and avoided attacking parts that could kill with a single blow, he might have died in a certain siege before he could survive.

It's almost like being given the incense of the soul in the game, but this time there are more enemies chasing after him like a gangrene than ever before, and the consequences of being caught are definitely not in the game. It's as easy as falling down a few levels.

Seeing that he couldn't stay in the forest for long, he had no choice but to come to another cliff nearby, appear in danger, and turned down the rock in front of the monsters.

The map shows that there should be an entrance to a cave in the middle of the cliff.

Thinking about He Liang's mention of the secret passage leading to the Palace of Seven Kills, he decided to gamble on his luck.

After groping among the dark cliffs, he found another hidden space through the climbing vines. He was overjoyed, and found the complete entrance with the help of the dim light from the message board. When the dead owl howled again , Leaping into the hole under the cover of the sound, the rustling of branches and leaves caused by it was drowned in the death-reporting owl's particularly shrill sound in the dark night, and it did not attract any attention.

Just entering the cave, before he had time to look around, a small figure rushed towards him with a low growl.

The two knives were still in the scabbard on his back and he couldn't pull them out in time. He couldn't stand firmly at the entrance of the cave and couldn't use his strength. He tried to dodge but hit the stone wall on one side in the dark, and hit the wound hard, making him dizzy for a while. , the movement of the parry also shifted a bit.

There was severe pain in the parrying left hand.Before he had time to take a closer look, he drew back the knife on his back with his right hand and split the figure in front of him in half.

The cave was quiet again.After vigilantly looking around and not finding any other aura, he lowered his head, and under the blood-red twilight, he saw half a child's head hanging on his left hand, the flesh on it was almost rotten, and his mouth was biting himself tightly. keep his left hand.

He retracted the knife and opened the opponent's mouth. The head, which had lost the last bit of power, fell to the ground and rolled aside, leaving a deep ring of teeth marks on the outside of his palm, which was bubbling blood.

This walking corpse has no legs. If he hadn't climbed into the cave from the outside, the height was exactly the same as it. Normally, it would not pose any threat to him, but at this time, it completed the most fatal blow to him.

The map has been automatically switched to the topography of the cave, and the halls and secret rooms of the passage hall are clearly visible.In the information bar on one side, new information was displayed again and again.

You kill a weak ghoul and gain Mercenary reputation 10

marvelous!The condition is met, and you have washed away the evil value on your body.

Cleanse the evil value and deduct 3000 mercenary reputation points.

The evil value is zero, and the relevant locking function is restored.

Warning: The reputation of mercenaries is less than 10 points, if it is negative, they will be forced to exit the map.

Warning: Mercenary reputation is zero, and related functions are locked.

His heart sank, and he tried to pull out the package, but the surroundings were quiet and there was no response.

On the left wrist, the second tattoo representing the mount reappeared, where it remained silent.

On the other side, the galloping Chasing Wind suddenly disappeared, catching Ye Cang off guard. No matter how much the body suspended in the air adjusted its shape, it still fell to the ground. He didn't get up immediately, and stayed there in a daze, murmuring:

"……father?"

You'll be fine, are you...?

Ten fingers suddenly exerted force, digging hard into the hard ground.

And the blue-haired girl trembled violently during another questioning, stared blankly at the front, and said repeatedly: "Where, where...?"

A figure in a cloak held her shoulders and said, "Li, that's all for today."

The figure turned his head slightly, and ordered: "Next, investigate the cliff, and keep a tight defense inside and outside the valley. The rest of the troops are stationed on the spot, and continue to search this area until dawn."

The accompanying demon guards silently bowed their heads in response.

And the target of their search was holding on to the stone wall, one foot deep and one foot shallow, stumbling and walking in the winding passage of the cave.

The tightly bound left hand has lost all feeling. There are bursts of blackness in front of his eyes, and buzzing sounds in his ears. He knows in his heart that he must have been poisoned by the corpse. He tries hard to distinguish the indistinct Map, looking for the nearest secret room on the road extending in all directions above.

His strength was lost very quickly, he dragged his steps, and eventually he didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he lay on the ground and crawled forward step by step.For a moment he felt as if he had lost consciousness, but the voice in his heart kept calling to wake him up again, he slowed down on the spot for a while, and continued to crawl forward.

It's not that he doesn't know that this way of speeding up the blood circulation may make the situation worsen faster, but instead of staying where he is and waiting for the end to be discovered sooner or later, he would rather fight for a chance by himself.

In the swaying vision, he vaguely saw the blue halo stop at the entrance of the secret room.

He could no longer see clearly what the surrounding environment looked like. He thought about standing up and touching the wall next to him. He thought he did so, but in fact he just trembled and leaned to one side.

Blood flowed on that piece of land, and suddenly a slanted opening opened in the ground, like opening a wide mouth, and his body immediately rolled into the darkness.

The big mouth closed, leaving only a winding blood path on the ground, extending here, showing a sudden blank.

He seemed to be having a long, long dream.

He sat alone in the park, suffering from a fever.But he couldn't go because he was waiting for someone.

Who is waiting?He can't remember.

The children were running around happily, and the adults were smiling. He seemed a little envious, but also a little bit happy.

why?He didn't know either.

Everyone went home, and he sat there alone, and it was getting dark, and it was very, very cold, and he felt like he was going to freeze.

He stood up and looked around, the surrounding was empty and dark, he was a little scared.

There was a beautifully painted trunk lying down on the lawn, hollowed out at both ends, with a hole in it, in which he had seen children crawling about during the day.

He got in and shrank into a ball, facing the hole outside, trying to open his eyes, for fear that he would not be able to see that person when he came.

There was a cold wind blowing on both sides, he hugged his knees, although he felt the cold in his bones, but his chest was still warm.

Is he asleep?Has that person been here?He doesn't know.

At dawn, he crawled out and sat down on the spot, his head was heavy and he was very sad.But the sun came down and made him feel a little better.

The number of people gradually increased. Some children were eating colorful snacks. He stared at them and swallowed, feeling very hungry.

The two children were fighting and fighting, the half-eaten candy figurine fell to the ground, broke and was covered with dust, crying loudly, the adults came to coax them to stop crying, and walked away happily with a new candy figurine in their hands up.

The sugar figurines that fell into pieces on the ground refracted into his eyes under the sunlight, glowing with colorful light, very, very beautiful.

Looking left and right, no one saw it, he rushed over, picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, guilty as if he had done something bad, and hurried back to sit down.

The candy melted in his mouth, it was sweet and full of happiness.He felt that he had never eaten such delicious candy.

But it was really uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. I ran for a while just now, and my head became even more dizzy.When will that person come?

He watched the number of people in the park gradually decrease, the sky gradually darkened, and his consciousness became more and more blurred.

Who is he waiting for?have no idea.

At the moment when he fell into darkness, he said in his heart——

That person really didn't come.

Yes, don't you already know this?

Yes, he already knew it, from the moment he couldn't sleep that night, got up to find water, and heard his parents talking.

Why didn't you run in and cry and act like a baby, but turned around and went back to lie down and sleep, pretending that you didn't hear anything?

Because I believe in them, I will not let myself go.

No, it's not.

It's because they don't believe that they will want themselves.

You see, you know from the very beginning that you are always alone.

So, nothing to be afraid of.

Ye Mu fell on his back in the darkness, unconscious, the bluish-gray heralding death had already climbed onto his skin.

In the passage outside, a demon guard walked by holding a torch, and suddenly stopped beside the entrance of the secret room.

It knelt down on one knee, picking up a dry and gray smudge, and when it was lightly rubbed with its fingertips, it turned into dust and fell down.

Raising its eyes, with the light of the torch, it saw the large gray trace extending out.

It followed the traces all the way, and when it heard the call of the dead owl outside, it stopped.

After a few operations on a rocky wall, the hole on the cliff was silently covered, and a large vine was climbing outside, which looked exactly the same as the surrounding rocks.

With the closure of the hole, the piercing howling of the dead owl finally disappeared.The demon guard turned back to the entrance of the secret room, stroked a certain part of his neck, and directly peeled off the whole face, revealing He Liang's handsome face.

Without seeing any movement from him, the ground had already opened its big mouth.Holding a torch in his hand, he sat down on the slope and slid down.The big mouth closed behind him, and in this dark space, only the light from the torch in his hand remained.

When he came to the bottom of the space, he looked at Ye Mu lying in the dense grass in front of him, and smiled helplessly.

"Brother Ye, you always bring me many surprises and amazements."

Standing up, he conveniently inserted the torch into the bracket beside him, and got busy in this space that looked like a medicine garden.

Ye Mu is still sleeping in that long dream.

There is such a person, he cannot see his face clearly.

That person brought him happiness and warmth, and pulled him out of the eternal darkness.

He is grateful for that person, likes that person, falls in love with...that person.

Full of heart and eyes, it is that person.

He doesn't care about other people's eyes, but he doesn't allow him to cause harm to the other party because of himself.

So as long as he can see that person, it's fine for him to guard the feelings that the other party can't accept.

He was almost mad with joy when the man responded.

Carefully, caring for him wholeheartedly, he used all his heart and energy, just wanting to treat the other party doubly well.

But everything seems different.

He will observe that person's emotions, and give him what the other person wants at any time.

That person said that to truly love someone is to give the other person what you want, and you have never given me what you want.

He will be loyal and honest to that person, and will not deceive the other party with a single word.

That person said, sometimes the truth hurts, even for me, you would not even tell a white lie.

They stuck to each other's principles and refused to back down, until everything broke out, and the man shook off his hand and walked away without looking back.

Looking at that person's back, he felt for a moment that he had returned to that night, he was waiting alone in the park, the boundless darkness, and the never-ending cold.

He didn't open his mouth to call that person, just like many years ago, he walked quietly past his parents' door without making a sound.

I am sorry.

I can sacrifice myself for loving you.

But I can never love you without being myself.

You see, in fact, from this perspective, what you said is not wrong.

My favorite is only myself.

The wound on Ye Mu's body was neatly bandaged, and the bluish-gray color on his skin faded, but he developed a high fever again.

But even though he had a high fever, he still lay there quietly without humming.

After looking at Ye Mu who was unconscious, and then at the soup on the side, He Liang looked at Ye Mu's face seriously.

Although this face is cold and expressionless most of the time, it is undeniably quite handsome.The long black hair was meticulously groomed, and there would never be a single strand of it sneaking out to affect the activities.His cheeks were pale from blood loss, and even the high fever failed to bring out any redness.Even with his eyes closed, he still looks like he refuses to get close to people thousands of miles away.

Well, it's not a disadvantage.

Holding Ye Mu to his chest, He Liang picked up the bowl and took a mouthful of the medicine, lowered his head, pressed his lips together, and poked the tip of his tongue into the opponent's mouth generously.

After going back and forth several times, after feeding a bowl of medicine, He Liang raised his head, a little puzzled.

The bitter taste of the medicine is fine, but it still seems to have a milky taste.

Without thinking too much, after repositioning the other party to lie down, he stood up, wiped his face with his hand, and turned into a demon guard again.

After a long delay here, I have to go back to make a reply. The leader of the guards is not a guy who is easy to fool.

Ye Mu felt that he had walked in the dark for a long time.

He has long been used to and accepted this darkness, so he didn't find it difficult.

Although it is cold around, but the same, just get used to it.If you really can't stand the cold, then start running. Although running will not increase the temperature at all, after you are tired, you will find that compared to being tired and cold like this, pure cold is still very happy.

He was somewhat startled by a warm feeling.

A little uncomfortable, but he is also happy to enjoy it.

Appears colder after being warm?You can get used to that kind of thing later.

He is not afraid of the cold, but he does not resist the warmth either.

Moreover, this warmth is very nostalgic, like the long-lost, human temperature.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The touch on the lips left, and the light from the torch shone an orange halo in front of his eyes. A person turned his head to look at him and said with a smile, "Are you awake?"

Blinking his eyes, he focused his sight, and the scene in front of him became clear. Ye Mu paused, and called out the person's name:

"He Liang."
