Their footsteps didn't move, and the red-haired woman's sweat dripped densely. Across these soft dolls, it seemed like two snakes were sliding outside, hissing close to each other.

Her heartbeat was so fast it almost exposed her. - At least she thinks so. Through the gaps in the fluff, she vaguely saw the two loyal guards, both with their backs to her, only bending deeply towards the large bed hidden in the darkness.

"Wake me up," the young master's voice was sleepy and hazy, with an indistinct ending, "be quiet..."

He seemed to be falling asleep again soon.

The two housekeepers finally left the pile of dolls and walked towards their master. The quilt was pulled back up again, the layers of curtains were pulled off the ties, and the twins' voices sounded in the room, "We'll wait for you to fall asleep."

Their backs were like two stone sculptures, only still deeply bent. Lin Mengmeng plucked up the courage to take a look, and her heart suddenly trembled.

They were kissing the boy's fingertips.

The hand hangs down from the curtain, which is completely different from this dark white, the kind that does not see the light of day, and the bones are lonely. Two pairs of hot lips were slightly attached to that little finger, only daring to stay on it for a moment.

A kiss that leaves no trace.

That kind of attitude is close to belief. In Lin Mengmeng's view, it is almost a fanatical worship without reason and without root. Her body froze, watching the NPC guard their territory for a long time, until the sky was about to dawn, and she walked out from here quietly.

She was finally able to get out of the pile of dolls, sweating unknowingly. Just as she tiptoed to leave, someone behind her stopped her.

The boy didn't know when to sit up from the bed and looked at her calmly.

Lin Mengmeng was taken aback and said in surprise, "You...you didn't fall asleep?"

She heard the young master's breathing evenly long long ago, and thought that the other party was asleep.

The boy smiled and didn't answer her, he just took a piece of soft silk from the bed and motioned her to bandage the wound.

Lin Mengmeng was a little hesitant, and took it from him after a long time. She hesitated, rolled up her blood-soaked sleeves, and exposed her arms - she glanced at the young master again, but found that the young master's expression had not changed at all, as if she had not noticed anything unusual about her.

Until the dressing was finished, the boy suddenly asked her, "How do you get back?"

Lin Mengmeng thought that the other party was afraid that she would not recognize the way, so she hurriedly said: "I still went down the original stairs, it's okay, I remember—"

"Change the way."

The young master stood up and lightly interrupted her voice.

Lin Mengmeng was puzzled and looked at him in surprise. But he saw the other party walked straight towards a wall, and with a slight push of his hand on it, the wall spun—

It was a secret door.

Behind the secret door is the connected doll's room, and the dolls are almost piled up into a hill. Lin Mengmeng was chased and killed by them last night, so she didn't dare to look at it, and hurriedly followed behind him.

The boy's hand gently twisted the doorknob.

"Up from here," he said, "up to the attic, and down the stairs on the right, so you won't be bumped into."

As he spoke, his fingers touched his mouth slightly.

Lin Mengmeng was a little bit attracted for a moment. His fingers are very white, but his lips are light and bright red, as if intertwined with an inexplicable meaning, teaching her eyes to stick to the neat and round nails for a long time.

Until the young master's voice rang in her ears again: "Don't say it."

"……Um?"

"Don't tell anyone, last night."

Only then did Lin Mengmeng understand what he meant, she took her eyes away from him with difficulty, and focused on his words instead. Naturally, she could understand the meaning of the words for her own good, but she didn't know what to say for a while, so she just nodded hard at him and thanked him a few times before running up the road pointed by the young man. Go, suddenly remembered something, and looked back again - the solitary young master was still standing in front of the door, and he seemed a little surprised when he met her eyes, and raised his eyebrows.

Lin Mengmeng waved at him vigorously and watched him turn and close the door. At that moment, she even felt that this NPC was lonely.

He has been living in such a closed manor and treated with care, like a ceramic doll placed on a shelf. No one is equal to him. Those so-called servants look like they are his subordinates, but in fact they are more like a group of supervisors, forcibly separating him from others.

But he's actually a good guy.

Lin Mengmeng said in her heart that she is good-looking, good-natured, and does not discriminate... don't blame those servants for blowing rainbow farts like that.

If you want her, she might blow too.

She returned to the line without incident, as if nothing had happened. Lu Ran was obviously very surprised by his return. He approached him several times to inquire, but was fooled by Lin Mengmeng.

"I just lost my way," she said to Lu Ran, trying her best to pretend to be impatient, "I didn't find the young master's room at all! Don't you blame you for letting me go?"

Lu Ran's vicious eyes stared at her suspiciously.

"Then how did you get hurt?"

"There are NPCs patrolling the hallway," Lin Mengmeng explained half-truths, "I was hurt by them, and I managed to hide in an empty room. I didn't dare to run out, and I stayed inside for one night... "

She has never been a bold person. Lu Ran and she belonged to the same village, so she knew it. Seeing what she said had nose and eyes, and she was holding herself to settle accounts, she stopped entanglement immediately, only scolded a waste in her heart, and said with disgust: "Hurry up and put down your sleeves, what if you let them see it? Change - disgusting Not disgusting?"

Lin Mengmeng said firmly: "Don't worry about it!"

She heard that Lu Ran swallowed two words, and what she wanted to say was "perverted". For some reason, she couldn't help thinking of the young master again.

...he looked lonely.

Lin Mengmeng has also experienced this feeling herself. She was not the kind of child who was popular since she was a child, but was the most easily bullied. She went through a long period of time without a partner, and she couldn't imagine that she actually found this kind of pity and identity in an NPC in the game.

The next night, almost by magic, she went to the doll's room again along the road that would not be bumped into.

After three knocks on the door, the pale face of the young man was revealed behind him, and his pupils were very pale.

A translucent, indestructible amber color.

"you……?"

Lin Mengmeng said, "Well..."

She didn't know how to explain her whim, so she licked her lips in a hurry and whispered, "I'm here... to relieve the boredom of the young master."

She almost thought that the NPC would lock her out of the door, but after a moment of silence, the door was completely opened.

"come in."

In fact, Lin Mengmeng had nothing to talk about, and this noble young master seemed to be just bored for a while. She searched her stomach and thought about it for a long time, and found that her stomach was empty, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed that she didn't study hard. But by now, the young master had sat down in the pile of toys, looking at her with amber eyes.

Obviously waiting for her to perform.

That's right, Lin Mengmeng said, after all, she herself said she wanted to relieve his boredom...

But what can she say? The only thing that can surprise the NPC is the fact that this is actually a game, after all, only she lives in reality——

Wait, reality!

She simply began to tell the other party about modern things, about the four-wheeled car that may appear in the future, about the big bird flying in the sky, about the mobile phone and the Internet that can make phone calls at will. Of course, all these changed in her mouth. It has become her guess and imagination about the future, which is new to NPC anyway. She said it vividly, even with gestures, so that the other party could not help leaning forward, as if listening to it.

At that time, she did not expect that some fires could not be buried.

Once buried, it has the potential to start a prairie fire.

This talk went on for several nights. The young master's mood was obviously improved, and the player's life was much better during the day. Not to mention, she would sometimes ask her a few questions at night. Lin Mengmeng also tried her best to answer truthfully, only obscuring some of the details, so that the future would not appear too real. On the fourth day, it was said that the sky was getting brighter, and the two of them were still unfinished. Lin Mengmeng stood up to say goodbye to each other, and said that she would come again.

The young master has been listening quietly, without interrupting her. It wasn't until she was about to leave that he asked a question abruptly.

"Are all of these things you imagined?"

The hairs on Lin Mengmeng's arms suddenly stood up. She struggled to maintain her breath and turned her head back in a normal manner.

"Yeah," she laughed, "I just like to think about nonsense—what else could it be?"

The young master looked at her face thoughtfully.

"Like real."

he said slowly.

Lin Mengmeng soaked her clothes with cold sweat on her back.

She felt that the NPC was smart from the communication, but she never expected to be so sharp, which made her so-called imagination crumbling.

It seems that at this time, the reality that the other party is an NPC is reflected in her mind like never before and clearly.

Lu Ran once emphasized: "It's best not to reveal your identity. There are many characters who think they are real."

That's what Lu Ran said the night before they were about to leave.

At that time, some people asked: "What if I said it accidentally?"

"careless……"

Lu Ran sighed, as if he was still laughing like he usually did, but his face was always serious. He looked around and said in an unprecedented solemn tone, "Then there is no guarantee that you can go out safely."

...

Now, that sentence exploded in her heart.

She broke into a cold sweat and used almost all of her ingenuity to complete this paragraph, "How could this be true? Not all of this is what I thought, and some of it was read from books." "Only by myself, how can I get it?"

The young master was still smiling slightly, unable to tell whether he believed it or not. Lin Mengmeng felt a panic from him that she couldn't control the situation, so she could only flee in embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "I want to go back soon. Young master..."

"You look familiar."

Unexpectedly, the young master skipped the topic just now and answered such a sentence abruptly. It seems to be completely out of line with what she said before, but being scrutinized by such a pair of amber eyes, it still makes people feel cold.

"how come?"

Lin Mengmeng was convinced that she had never been in a game before, and this absurd statement seemed to be accosting someone, "I haven't been here."

The young master's eyes drooped slightly, and the dense eyelashes were drawn down, seeming a little disappointed.

"Right."

he whispered.

"How could you have been here."

There are no other people in his life, those people will always revolve around him. Servants, men, dolls, — nothing new. So he slumped back into the chair tiredly, and Lin Mengmeng slammed it out, still panicking in his heart.

She knew that she had been a little dizzy recently, and she almost broke the reality in front of the NPC. She struggled for a long time, and finally she swore secretly that she would never see the boy again, she just completed the tasks of the past few days in a down-to-earth manner, and then took the money and went home. ——After all, in this world, after all, nothing is more important than her life.

Besides, the young master itself is fake, just a row of data stored in the database.

She decided to keep these two bizarre nightly meetings deep in her heart and never say a word to the outside world.

Never remember again.

After that, Lin Mengmeng never saw the young master again. Lu Ran was thinking about the task by himself, but seeing the NPCs looking at the young man like eyeballs, he didn't dare to come to the door - this also made Lin Mengmeng heave a sigh of relief.

In the process of her work, she accidentally saw a portrait of the young master, which was hidden under a wooden easel. It seemed that it was freshly painted by a servant who secretly admired the young master. It was no different from the young man she had ever seen. But before she had the idea to secretly hide this picture as a memorial, a pale and slender hand had already reached out to her, and she took the canvas away without hesitation.

Lin Mengmeng turned back hastily and met a pair of blue eyes.

Thick like a cold pool.

is one of the twins.

He stood up straight, and his voice made people shudder: "What did you see?"

Lin Mengmeng opened his mouth and saw the murderous intent on his handsome face, and his neck suddenly became cold.

"You, see, what's wrong?"

The npc asked again word for word.

Lin Mengmeng suddenly understood, she said with a trembling voice, "No..."

"I...I didn't see anything!"

The twins gave her only one more sullen look, and then, with a very different kind of care, he slowly rolled up the canvas in his hand and clenched it tightly in his palm. His eyes were still full of threats, and he said slowly, "One last time."

Lin Mengmeng opened her mouth wide.

"Because the young master likes it," the twins breathed like gloomy and cold poisonous snakes, crawling up the legs of her trousers, "so I won't move you, but this is the last time—"

His voice dropped suddenly, full of malice, and his fingers pinched a snow-white flower in a vase on the table. The juice of the flower dripped into his hand, and the aroma was almost rotten.

"Be discovered by us again, you are near there-"

"We chopped off your leg."

"Cut off your head."

"Throw your guts to the dog."

He stood up again, wiped his slender hands with a towel, and looked condescendingly. Lin Mengmeng's height is not low, at least a lot taller than most women, but in front of him, he seems to have been suppressed and suddenly shortened - the other party glanced down at her, as if looking at her. Not to mention the ants.

Not even worth a straight eye.

"Always remember what you are."

Lin Mengmeng couldn't say a word, only one thought echoed in her heart: they really knew.

From the first night, they knew...

They just...they just didn't say it!

When she was hiding in the pile of dolls, the vicious stare outside was not an illusion, it was just that the young master's love gave her an extra protective umbrella for a while - it was the young master's maintenance at that time that made her escape from the quagmire.

It was ridiculous that she didn't know it at the time, and thought she had deceived them.

In fact, she was deceived by them.

She didn't speak any more, but her heart to leave was stronger.

Anyway, after going out, there will be no more of these.

Just get out...

She forcibly restrained herself from thinking about the situation of teenagers or teenagers, but these anomalies were gradually caught by others. After that, the footsteps of patrolling outside became louder, and Lin Mengmeng saw dolls in more places. With eyes made of dark buttons, they were placed in every corner of the manor, staring at them silently and silently.

This is a silent watch.

When they were together at night, they occasionally spoke of this mysterious young master. Looking at the behavior of these servants to prevent them like a thief, the so-called young master is not like a master, but like a bird who has been imprisoned and locked in a gold wire cage.

This feeling is getting stronger day by day. The new servant actually had little chance to get in touch with this delicate young master.

They didn't even wait for the birthday party, they made a mistake and were kicked out by the NPCs. Naturally, the mission was not completed, and everyone was angry, but Lu Ran said that he heard the NPCs discussing on the day he came out and wanted to find a new group of servants to come in.

"Maybe we made their taboo." He said meaningfully, looking straight at Lin Mengmeng.

Lin Mengmeng didn't answer, she naturally knew what the taboo was—it was herself who dared to contact the young master.

She didn't sleep well for many days after that, keeping her eyes open until dawn. She thought that the boy always saved her on the first night, but she actually did nothing, but instead threw him in the group of other NPCs who were not good people, which was naturally wrong.

She couldn't tell whether it was the little bit of pity for the same sickness, or the inexplicable light that suddenly came into her mind - in short, she seemed to have such a friend in her life, but she soon disappeared.

No one else can express her childish thoughts. Lin Mengmeng has always been a person, alone, a person who travels alone. No one is willing to stand in front of her to shield her from the wind and rain, and the teenager is the first, possibly the only one.

Thinking like this, she stood up and decided to draw the boy's appearance to teach herself not to forget.

The drawing paper is in the album. The thick photo album contained many old photos, which were left by the elders, and all of them had turned yellow. Most of them were photos of her grandfather and her classmates. Lin Mengmeng accidentally knocked off a bunch of them, and hurriedly lowered her head to pick them up.

Photos are scattered all over the floor.

Others said that she and her grandfather looked somewhat similar when they were young, from eyebrows to face. Now, those young grandpas who were similar to her were scattered on the ground.

She caught a glimpse of one of them, and suddenly her body froze, as if a rumbling thunder suddenly exploded in her mind. She shook her hands to pick it up. The few teenagers in the photo were clasping their shoulders, one of them was her grandfather, all grinning at her. There was a black car vaguely parked behind them. They stood under the tall plane trees, with a few drops of sweat hanging from their foreheads, their schoolbags slung over one shoulder, and the top two buttons of their shirts were unbuttoned—

The face in the middle, with a clear and distinct face, made her almost scream. She suddenly fell to the ground, her palms were in heavy contact with the ground, and the photo fluttered and swirled on the ground.

Amber, smiling eyes.

Gentle and youthful. The spring with the warm tide came as scheduled in his pupils. He grabbed his brother's hand on his shoulders, and his eyebrows came out from the gaps in the scattered hair.

...

She will never be wrong.

……It's him.

……It's him! ! !

He is a man! ! !

Lin Mengmeng stared blankly. In the corner of the photo, a butterfly is sucking hard on the nectar of a flower, the sharp mouthparts digging deep into it, sucking all the life out of it.

Nourishes—

After marking in this way.

It is the flower that belongs to the butterfly.

Kou Dong released the hand that was holding the plush ear tightly. In front of him was the chaotic banquet hall scene, and the melee between players and NPCs only paused for a few seconds.

He saw Ye Yanzhi in the gap between the crowd, the man's lips were pursed tightly, and he was also staring at him gloomily.

The stuffed bear sang Happy Birthday on and off in his hand. But this time, Kou Dong smelled a familiar scent on it.

not from someone else.

It's from his original self.

Next to him stood the smooth-furred gray rabbit, which pressed its face against Kou Dong's lap, and seemed to feel the same sorrow for him.

Kou Dong patted its head lightly and said in a low voice, "It's hard work."

Trying so hard to remind me.

Grey Rabbit wiggled his long ears and hugged his legs hard. Under Kou Dong's touch, the figure of a young woman dressed as a woman slowly appeared on its body, with his head lowered.

"But—but I still couldn't save you out."

Lin Mengmeng is actually a transgender person to a certain extent, and he hopes that he can grow into a woman. This is almost unheard of and ridiculous in the village. No one wants to interact with him, and no one supports him for surgery. He grew up in such a lonely environment. When he rolled up his sleeves after being injured in the game, he saw that he had no time to wash off the dense fine hair, as if woven into a layer of black net, covering his arm, splitting his arm into two black and white Piece.

It was clearly a man's hand. The young master clearly saw it, but he did not comment on it.

He was also the first to discover it but did not evaluate it.

Lin Mengmeng was very grateful to him in her heart. In fact, he doesn't need anyone to stand up for him, not at all, he just wants to be treated as an ordinary woman - this shouldn't be a difficult thing, but only from the young master can he gain an unprecedented sense of identity and security. .

"Twice if it doesn't work once, three times if it doesn't work twice," the gray rabbit murmured, hugging his legs tightly, his eyes burning with fire, "this is the third time—"

For the first time, after he was out of the game, he accidentally discovered that the young master was supposed to be alive.

The second time, he and the young master escaped from the game together, causing the NPC to go completely black and crazy. Before being completely washed away by "Dead Man", he wrote that mysterious post in order to prevent other players from accidentally entering this copy and being harmed by NPCs.

He thought there would be no next time. But the boy was still discovered, pulled into the game again, and returned to the man's palm.

So there is a third time.

The number of times has increased, but his determination has not changed at all. He raised his head and also looked at Ye Yanzhi in front of him, but his eyes were full of hatred and firmness——

"He's not the bird in your cage."

"I will definitely save him!"

The author has something to say: Follower: I want to save him out! ! 1

Ye Yanzhi: ...

Ye Yanzhi: ......

Ye Yanzhi: …………

Ye Yanzhi raised the 40-meter broadsword, "You can try again."

When I am dead!
