you turned on the love game

"Sarah..."

"Sarah?"

You wake up suddenly, looking back at the source of the sound, the nurse lady is looking at you suspiciously, still holding your examination materials in her hand.

"Have you not taken a break recently? You are often in a daze."

"Hmm...a little..."

You rubbed your forehead.

After waking up from the game, you feel like you have experienced another life, and you can't forget those faces calling "Miss", and the child you said "see you later"... …

"This is the first time I've lied." You whispered.

"what?"

"Ah, nothing."

The nurse didn't ask any more questions, and put the test results in front of you, "The physical condition has stabilized, and the effect of the healing collar is very good."

You flipped through the test results for a few glances, and subconsciously returned her a "Missy" smile: "Thanks for your hard work."

The nurse looks at you in surprise.

"Sarah, you..."

You instantly realized something was wrong, and covered your face in shame: "I'm sorry, Miss Pauline... I recently played a special game, and the characters in it were too real, and I couldn't get out."

She smiled gently: "It turns out that it is, it is a good thing to be able to distract attention elsewhere."

On the way back to the room, she inadvertently asked what game you were playing, you gave her a general explanation, and then focused on complaining about the serious discrepancy between the game introduction and the content.

She listened with a smile and nodded from time to time in agreement with you.

After you walk through the corridor, you meet a familiar doctor who has done several physical examinations for you.

"What are you talking about?"

The doctor came over to greet you enthusiastically, and you told him that you recently played a good computer game.

But his expression became a little strange when he heard you talking about games.

He glanced at the nurse Pauline, who still had a gentle smile on her face and didn't express any opinion, so she smiled at you as if she was slow to react: "Oh, oh, the game is good. "

Then scribbled goodbye and left.

Looking at the back of the doctor leaving in a hurry, you asked the nurse in puzzlement, "Why is the doctor acting so strange?"

Pauline didn't even look at the doctor, she just smiled at you and said, "Probably because the doctor never plays games, so he can't understand."

"Is that right?"

You still feel that something is wrong, but Pauline directly changed the topic, and said something else with a smile: "I just found out today... there seems to be a red mole on the back of Sarah's neck."

Your attention is immediately drawn away.

"Eh, really?"

"It's true, it's here."

While she was talking, she put her hand on the back of your neck, and the cold fingers under the white coat made you shiver suddenly.

"Ah, sorry, my hands are too cold."

The nurse sent you back to the room, and you touched the red mole she pointed out, but there was no raised feeling.

Before she left, you suddenly said, "Miss Pauline, can I trouble you with something?"

"What?" She turned to look at you.

You put your weight on the door frame, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked softly, "Can you...call me 'Lucia'? "

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

In the empty white corridor, the nurse stands directly under the fluorescent lamp, looking directly at you with those dark eyes.The shadows all shrank under her feet, like a dormant monster.

At that moment, you seemed to feel that all the smiles in her eyes were withdrawn, but when you took a closer look, she was still the gentle Miss Pauline.

She smiled and asked, "Why?"

Putting aside the discomfort in your heart, you say: "Because the character in the game I played was named "Lucia", and I like this name very much, so I want to hear Miss Pauline call me that... can't I? "

Pauline nodded: "Of course."

Then slightly raised the corners of her lips, and said softly, "Lucia..."

A familiar trembling suddenly rises in the depths of your soul.

As if it was supposed to be your name in a way that you never felt when someone called you "Sarah".

Why is this happening?

You opened your mouth, somehow you didn't express your doubts, but replaced it with words of thanks: "Thank you, Miss Pauline."

The nurse leaves.

You close the door and go into the bathroom.

Facing the mirror sideways, you tried to turn your head to see the red mole on the back of your neck, but you could only vaguely see part of it due to the angle, so you simply gave up.

Anyway, the test report didn't say anything about the mole.

That's not a big deal.

It's been almost a week since your last game.When you first left the game, you still couldn't get rid of the influence of the game memory, and often felt that you should not stay in the research institute.

It's a little bit better now, but occasionally I can't help but bring out some "big lady" habits.But you are so familiar with those habits that you don't realize it at all.

But these are little things.

You hesitated and sat down in front of the computer.

During this time...

When you dream, you see Hisoka's little expressionless face.

——"Lucia..."

The tone of accusation was so realistic, as if he was standing in front of you, you woke up from a dream at once.

Staring at the ceiling in the ward, I could no longer fall asleep.

Originally, you thought this game was too real, and you wanted to play it after a period of time to relax your emotions, but instead, you would think about it every day.

You have avenged Margot's revenge, and his wife will never have a good ending after Bijima's death;

Linna was also handed over to the steward by you, life will be fine; the servants also left safely.

The only one who felt ashamed was Hisoka.

You said "see you later" to him, and swore you would "not break your promise", only to turn around and die with Bijima.

"..." You fumbled to open the game.

The bad impression Hisoka made on you in the first round is completely gone.When you were the eldest lady, you actually got along with him for a whole year, but now your mind is full of his immature face.

—Like this vertical drawing.

After the end of the "rotten fruit" line, Hisoka's vertical painting has changed. It is no longer the rebellious adult image, but the more familiar childhood appearance.

The red-haired boy shuttled through the dense crowd, with his head bowed slightly, his wet hair stuck tightly to his cheeks, the tail of his hair was still dripping water, and most of the paint with stars and water droplets had been washed away.

Those beautiful golden eyes were full of frightening gloom, and there was a weird smile on the corner of his lips, and the oncoming pedestrians avoided him.

In the distance is the burning manor, behind him is the bustling crowd, the personal maid is squeezed inside, trying to push away the crowd and call Hisoka to stop, but he never looks back.

Like a lone wolf walking alone.

You couldn't help touching your conscience.

Hiss, it seems to be a little painful.

You noticed that there is an extra note on the game interface——

[When the player and the character match perfectly, the hidden reward of "Memory Fusion" can be triggered. Is it enabled? 】

"Open" [Deny]

When you think of the scene where you forgot your identity as a player and devoted yourself to the game in the last round, you suddenly realize that, and decisively choose "reject".

The screen jumps and returns to the page for selecting an identity.

"Big Rotten Fruit"【+】

"Unsaved Rotten Fruit"【+】

"Sentimental Little Fruit" (Unlocked)

Click on the [+] behind the rotten fruit, except for the profile of the character "Lucia Moreau", it is the ending screen.

【BadEnd】

【Unfulfillable Promise】

The picture is exactly the moving picture of Hisoka's new drawing.

As you can imagine.

He shuttled through the sea of ​​people alone, surrounded by row upon row of buildings.The maid tried to call his name, but he didn't answer once.

【You leave them mercilessly behind】

[no turning back]

You were silent for a moment, and said to yourself uncertainly, "This evaluation is not about me, but about Hisoka?"

You log out of the page and stare at the "little fruit" in the options, and for some reason you feel a little bit like nostalgia.

【Player confirmed】

It's those two familiar "warm reminders" again, you can already remember the content, it's nothing more than a reminder not to collapse the human design.

【Games start】

You are suddenly plunged into darkness.

【Your name is Martha】

【You fell into a slum by accident, and luckily met Meritonio two years ago, and joined the "Merritonio Troupe"】

【From that day on, you finally have a home again...】

After the brief introduction, the darkness disappears, and the first thing you see is the wet and dirty ground-you are lying on the ground, and you seem to smell the putrid garbage.

Feeling dizzy, you stand up against the wall.

Unlike when using Lina's body, although the introduction is brief this time, you have the memory of this body in your mind, and you don't forget the identity of the player like when you were the "Miss".

You walk back through memory, and after 10 minutes, you find the troupe's temporary camp, and the first thing you see is a woman with a mean face.

"Martha! You're being lazy again!"

As soon as she saw you, she raised her eyebrows suddenly, and when she was about to get angry, she suddenly froze, "What's the matter with your forehead?!"

what?

You raised your hand to touch it, and it was covered in blood.

Because you didn't feel any pain, you didn't pay attention to the injury on this body at all. After recalling it for a while, you said: "It seems to be attacked by someone..."

"It's like something! There's a lot of blood!"

The woman dragged you in, cursing, and you didn't resist, letting her deal with the injury with rough force.

"Hurry up, we're going to the next city!"

The "Muritonio Troupe" is a traveling performance troupe with no fixed location. Today is the day for the troupe to transfer venues.

The colleagues who came and went expressed their concern for you, and one of them, a fat man named Da Mi, smiled and carried your package on his back.

"Martha is injured, let me carry it for you."

Before you could speak, the mean woman who helped you deal with the injury was the first to choke: "Dami, are you too kind? Your own equipment is already heavy!"

Damie touched his head and said, "But Jessica...even though you said that, you also helped Martha carry the equipment."

Jessica: "Humph..."

The companions around all laughed kindly.

When you are in this environment for the first time, it feels very fresh, just like the "Youkexin Big Apple Circus" you saw back then.

Suddenly, the companion walking in front stopped and squatted down.

"Huh? Dead?"

You looked in his direction and froze for a moment.

The heart was beating thumpingly.

The red-haired boy fell in the middle of the road, motionless like a corpse, you couldn't help but want to get closer and take a closer look.

"Martha?"

Dami stops you, "Don't get too close, it may be dangerous."

Sensing that the young man was still angry, his fellow troupe members all said, "Don't worry about it, let's go." After all, the city is chaotic and often attacked by bandits, and it is easy to get into trouble if you do good deeds casually.

However, Meritonio, the troupe master, was silent for a moment.

"Young man, can you still talk?"

"I'm Meritonio, traveling entertainer . . . and you?"

Your lips moved slightly, silently overlapping with that voice.

"Hisso..."
