In the dark alley, Zhou Zhou looked at Al with shining eyes, and the other party's solemn promise undoubtedly gave him a great sense of security.

In the previous two dungeons, whether it was Shirley or Keli, or Qian Le and He Ya, in Zhou Zhou's view, they were all people who needed his protection.

Only Al, perhaps because of his indifference and calmness in the dungeon, made Zhou Zhou always think that he was a very powerful person.

If Al is willing to protect him, then maybe he can really survive safely.

But he is not the kind of person who will tell the whole story in a foolish way after hearing a few words from others.

Zhou Zhou squatted there thinking for a while, and decided to ask tactfully first. He raised his head and said seriously: "Al, what should I do if I find a very abnormal NPC in the game?"

Seeing Zhou Zhou lowered his head and thinking, Al thought he was thinking about how to organize his language to tell him the cause and effect of the whole thing, but his topic actually jumped to another dimension.

What does this have to do with NPCs?

Could it be that someone is tampering with the Nightmare City?But Zeus's recent monitoring has been normal, and no problems have been found.

Or they deceived Zeus's monitoring by some means, this possibility is not impossible.

Zeus has been the most powerful artificial intelligence in the empire for thousands of years, and he also has the ability to learn and evolve. No one has been able to escape his monitoring before.

But the appearance of Zhou Zhou was already a precedent, and Zeus couldn't find his information, which showed that there were loopholes that they didn't know about in the Nightmare Capital.

Thinking of this, Alvia shifted her eyes to Zhou Zhou, and said seriously: "If there is such a situation, you can report the abnormal NPC to Zeus, and he will deal with it."

Everyone in the empire knows Zeus, because in their daily life, most of the affairs are handled by artificial intelligence, and the total system of artificial intelligence is Zeus.

Even a child of a few years old knows a lot about Zeus.

But Zhou Zhou didn't know. He didn't know who Zeus was, and he didn't dare to ask directly. He could only continue to probe cautiously: "Then what will he do after the feedback?"

"If it's a general problem, it doesn't have any major impact, just fix it. If the problem is more serious and the consequences are more serious, just destroy the NPC together with the copy it is in, and rebuild it." Rebuilding a copy, for ZeusIt's very simple.

repair?

Destroy the copies together?

rebuild?

Zhou Zhou was shocked and frightened by every word, he was about to cry, and the hope that had just appeared was shattered, but he still didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Then, can you just leave it like that and don't fix it?"Do not destroy either."

Alvia didn't understand why he ignored the problem when he discovered it. He, who has always been rigorous in his work and life, immediately said: "If there is a problem, it must be solved. Putting the problem on hold will only cause more trouble, and it should be done in the future."Kill it before it develops!"

This sentence Alvia said was just and righteous, but in Zhou Zhou's eyes, it was full of murderous intent. He was petrified, and there was only one word in his mind that was playing in a loop.

Kill, kill, kill, kill...

After Alvia finished speaking, seeing that Zhou Zhou no longer continued to ask questions about this question, but stared blankly at herself with wide eyes, she couldn't help hinting, "Do you have anything else you want to tell me?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head violently: "No, no, no." He didn't dare to say anything.

Alvia guessed that Zhou Zhou still had some concerns, but Zhou Zhou squatted there not daring to speak, not even daring to look away.

After that, the two stood and squatted, looking at each other in silence for a long time.

"You... If you are threatened, you can tell me." After a long time, Alvia said.

Zhou Zhou, who was threatened by the person in front of him, was extremely wronged. He didn't expect that Al was such an Al. If he said that it was you who threatened me, would he be "strangled to death"?

Looking at Zhou Zhou's expression of being aggrieved and pitiful, Al didn't force him in the end, and looked away at the crowd outside the alley: "Didn't you say you want to invite me to dinner? Let's go now."

"Where are we going to eat?" Zhou Zhou put on a vigilant look, for fear that Al had discovered his identity and now wanted to trick him away and kill him.

"Whatever, you invite me to dinner, you choose the place."

Alvia already knew where Zhou Zhou would go for dinner. After all, he had only been to one place when he invited others to dinner, and never thought of changing it.

Sure enough, after confirming that Ai Er really wanted to eat instead of doing other things, Zhou Zhou stood up and followed Ai Er.

Obviously Zhou Zhou was supposed to take Alvia to that restaurant, but it was Alvia who led the way along the way. Zhou Zhou seemed to be planning to hide himself, and kept hiding behind Alvia.It's like trying to shrink yourself down.

Although Al's dangerous speech made Zhou Zhou fearful just now, he is the only person Zhou Zhou knows well, and he will subconsciously seek Al's protection when facing unfamiliar people.

Keeping this posture, the two came together to the restaurant that Zhou Zhou had just left.

Alvia also noticed Zhou Zhou's abnormality. He was fine in the dungeon, but now he was trembling along the way, as if he was afraid of something.

Sitting down face to face, Alvia couldn't help but ask, "What are you afraid of?"

Zhou Zhou replied honestly, "I'm afraid of death."

Alvia: "..."

"Why, afraid of death?" Was it life-threatening?

Zhou Zhou looked at Ai Er with shocked eyes, with an expression of asking why he was afraid of death, which was very understandable.

"Because after death, there will be no me."

Looking at Zhou Zhou who was lonely and bowed his head, Alvia felt that she had asked a very stupid question.

He leaned back on the chair, clasped the table with his left hand, and said coldly: "Since you are afraid of death, then try to eliminate those factors that threaten your life, instead of trembling and fearing here."

Zhou Zhou sighed, "What if it can't be eliminated?"

Now everyone has the possibility to discover his identity and kill him. He can't leave the game world, and he can't find a place to hide. It's even more impossible to wipe out everyone. It's impossible for him to do such a thing.thing.

"Then find someone to take shelter."

"Can't find it?"

Alvia frowned slightly, hadn't he already said it several times?

"I said before, as long as you tell me everything you know, I will protect your personal safety." Alvia said it again, but this time with a hint of impatience.He didn't understand why Zhou Zhou refused again and again after he had made a clear promise.

No matter from which aspect, he is the best candidate. As long as he is willing to protect the other party, Zhou Zhou will no longer be threatened with his life.

Could it be that he has something in the hands of those people?family?friend?Still, love?

While Alvia was thinking, Zhou Zhou suddenly said something surprising."You can not."

Alvia raised her head slowly, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Zhou Zhou shrank back, and said in a low voice, "You really can't do it." He had already asked just now, and it was obviously Al who said it himself. If he found out his true identity, he would hand him over to that Zeus, and thenkill.

After a moment of silence, Alvia snorted coldly, looking at Zhou Zhou as if her eyes had turned ice-cold: "Then who do you think can do it?"

Zhou Zhou slumped his shoulders, lowered his head and replied: "No one can." No one can protect him, he is different from everyone, he is a different kind.

Such an answer made the chill around Alvia's body slightly weakened, and looking at Zhou Zhou who was not getting in, he could only continue to say: "Since you don't want to choose the best way, there is only one left."

"What?" Is there any other way?Zhou Zhou asked curiously.

"Live in the moment. Instead of waiting in fear and fear for the guillotine to fall on your head, it is better to live every day happily and do what you really want to do. Even if one day is true, death is nothingStay sorry."

This was the first time someone talked to Zhou Zhou like this. He was the one who listened to others and comforted them before.

Thinking over this passage carefully, Zhou Zhou's eyes became brighter and brighter.

That's right, he doesn't know when his true identity will be revealed. If he is always afraid and hides everywhere, then he will be unhappy every day.It's better to live in the present moment. If one day his true identity is discovered and he is killed, he will not have any regrets.

Besides, as long as he doesn't tell anyone and tries to disguise himself well, he might not be discovered, and he might be able to live forever.

Now he only needs to think about living happily every day. After being discovered, let's wait until he is really discovered.

He still has a lot of things to do. Even if he is killed, he must finish what he wants to do before that time comes.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Zhou suddenly realized that he was no longer afraid when he looked at Ai Er. Although Ai Er's thinking was very dangerous, he was a good person and always helped him.If he hadn't met Al today, it would be impossible for him to think of these things.

Finding that Zhou Zhou had finally returned to his usual appearance, Alvia was also relieved that he didn't realize it.

The ordered dishes have already appeared on the table for class, but the two of them have been talking and have not had time to eat. Alvia is going to try it. Zhou Zhou has been to this restaurant several times in a few days, and even todaytwice.

Although the Nightmare City had been in service for a while, he had only entered two dungeons, and immediately went offline after the dungeons ended. He had never watched or played in the city here, let alone had a meal.

The rice here can only be tasted, and it can't supplement the body with nutrition at all. Instead of wasting time here eating some food that can't satisfy your hunger, it's better to supplement the nutritional solution offline.

But now, listening to the buzzing of people around and watching the blue ocean flowing on the wall, perhaps it is also a good experience to spend time here occasionally.

Before he had time to eat, Zhou Zhou was suddenly sitting upright, looking at him seriously.

What's wrong?Haven't recovered yet?Or do you have any questions for him?

"Al!" Zhou Zhou looked at the person opposite him, with a hint of shyness in his relaxed and bright expression.

"I like you."

Alvia: "...I know." Why did you suddenly confess again?Didn't you already confess your love in the dungeon in the morning?

Ugh?Know?Why do you know?

Zhou Zhou blinked his eyes, forget it, this is not important, he wants to live in the present, do what he wants to do, and start talking about many, many love affairs from today.

Alvia is a boy, so it should be...

Zhou Zhou leaned forward and asked softly, "Will you be my boyfriend?"

The author has something to say:

In order to express support for the readers, the author decided to speed up the relationship between the two protagonists, so he gave Alvia a back door.

A window suddenly appeared in the small house of Zhou Zhou's house. The rigorous Alvia felt that this situation was abnormal, so she didn't choose to climb in to have a look, but welded the window to death with steel plates.

After welding, he gave a thumbs up to his rigorous self.

At this time Zhou Zhou opened the door and invited Alvia to come in.

Therefore, the strict Alvia chooses ( )

A. Thinking that there must be a problem, he rejected Zhou Zhou and welded the door shut

B. Rubbing hands to accept the invitation to enter the door

D. Criticize Zhou Zhou for inviting others into the house at will, and ask him to write a 3,000-word self-criticism, plus a 100-sentence confession

E. Scolding Zhou Zhou for not being vigilant, Zhou Zhou got angry and called all the fish in his fish pond to beat up Al

F. Other
