Finally having had enough of the cat, Xiao Lan struggled to take her attention away from Xue Li and put it back on Cheng Wenyi, who was sitting opposite.

Cheng Wenyi, who was opposite, seemed to be in a good mood, and was not at all unhappy because he was not being paid attention to, which made Xiao Lan a little surprised.

According to Cheng Wen's flamboyant character, being ignored by others must be stepping on his hairline. Now that he is acting so calmly, this Cheng Wenyi is really not a simple guy.

Of course, this was because Xiao Lan couldn't imagine that the source of Cheng Wenyi's happiness was actually himself and Xue Li, as well as the black-faced Luo, and naturally he couldn't understand Cheng Wenyi's inner activity at the moment.

Xiao Lan restarted the topic: "Speaking of which, I met a man named He Rui before, who seemed to have accepted a commission from Samsara to test me."

"He Rui?" Cheng Wen recalled for a moment, but couldn't find the name in his memory, "Who is that?"

With so many people under him, it would be impossible for him to say all the names of his own, let alone a passerby who didn't know which corner he had.

Xiao Lan: "It is said to be a news dealer."

Cheng Wenyi seemed to remember a little: "Well, such a task was released, what happened to him? Is he dead?"

Xiao Lan nodded.

Cheng Wen smiled somewhat indifferently: "If you want my benefits, you must prove his worth, right? He is just a news dealer, it doesn't matter if he dies, there are too many substitutes."

In the world of advent, death is all too common, and written one really doesn't care about this trivial sacrifice.

Xiao Lan didn't expect Cheng Wenyi to feel guilty about it. The game is inherently risky, and if you want to gain benefits from it, you can't avoid the danger. To mention He Rui is just to continue the topic.

He leaned back on the sofa and looked at Cheng Wenyi: "You are really a tyrant."

Hearing the word "tyrant", Chengwen shook his head: "Tyrant? Hehe, the real tyrant is Xiao Chengyan, and I don't even count him as one tenth or two."

"Even Samsara is a loose organization compared to Wu Amnesty. The Wu Amnesty group of guys are all Xiao Chengyan's dead soldiers. For Xiao Chengyan's orders, they can do anything."

The topic finally came to Xiao Chengyan.

Xiao Lan looked puzzled: "Tyrant? Xiao Chengyan?"

In Xiao Lan's memories, Xiao Chengyan has always been a serious and indifferent but very responsible father. They didn't spend much time together, but in Xiao Lan's mind, the word "tyrant" and his father had nothing to do with each other.

Chengwen 1: "Entering into the world will liberate people's nature. The originally suppressed self, the goal that only dares to pursue in secret, the deepest desire in the heart will slowly emerge here. That's why there are so many weird people in the world, they It’s just not being suppressed anymore.”

These words reminded Xiao Lan of Qi Ning and Wu Ting, as well as the players he saw on the road.

Compared with people in the real world, players do not care about the opinions of others. Whether it is clothes or words and deeds, there are too many mavericks. Survival and strength are the most important things here.

Even Xiao Lan herself has been changing since she entered the world of advent.

If it was before, he would not have such a persistent pursuit of strength and strength, and he would also seek stability in work and life, and would not be as bold as in games.

"Xiao Chengyan is the same, he just doesn't need to pretend that he is a normal person." Cheng Wenyi added, "Do you think you really know him?"

Xiao Lan was silent.

Xiao Chengyan is always very busy. Except for the occasional time spent on holidays and birthdays, he doesn't actually have much time to reunite with his father. He almost knows nothing about this father.

Xiao Lan asked her doubts: "What is the relationship between you two?"

The saying of half an apprentice doesn't sound like a normal master-apprentice relationship. In addition, when Cheng Wen mentioned Xiao Chengyan's attitude, Xiao Lan always felt that there was something inside.

Cheng Wenyi showed a look of memory: "I was 17 when I first entered the world of advent, and the world of advent at that time was very different from now. All dungeons have no level distinction, no novice field, and even killing each other between players is a very unusual."

"Even if I have a background in reality, it's useless in the game."

Xiao Lan did not expect that the original world of advent was like this, it was chaotic and dangerous, and he even felt that the world of advent at that time was like feeding a Gu.

Cheng Wenyi continued: "It was Xiao Chengyan who took the initiative to find me, and in exchange for a condition, he could make me a high-level player within a year, which was also the source of inspiration for me to build Samsara."

"He did it, he helped me find the skills, and arranged for me to train." Cheng Wenyi's words gradually increased, with a bit of gnashing of teeth.

"Every combat training will definitely beat me until I can't get up, whether it's in the game or in reality."

"In order for me to be able to eliminate the ice, after he gave me the relevant information, he kicked me into the freezer; when it was time to eliminate the fire, he threw me into the oven..."

"Even in order to let me learn to eliminate electricity faster, Xiao Chengyan threw me into electrotherapy for a month, saying that he experienced it himself!"

"When I was trained by Xiao Chengyan, I didn't know how many times I entered the ICU ward!"

Even now, it is difficult for Cheng Wenyi to maintain his usual arrogance and restraint. His hand scratched deep marks on the sofa, so hard that he almost scratched the tough high-grade leather, which shows how unbearable the memory of this Spartan education is.

It's no wonder that as soon as Chengwen established Samsara, he immediately found Xiao Chengyan for several troubles, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.

Xiao Lan: "..."

Was his dad so scary?

Could it be... that you still belong to the treatment of your own son?

Cheng Wen took a deep breath and recovered his overly restless emotions: "In short, within a year, I became a high-level player."

"And the condition proposed by Xiao Chengyan is to let me use various means to transfer a debt to you. Since you were a minor at the time, it was transferred to your mother first." Cheng Wenyi said.

Xiao Lan frowned: "Why did he do this?"

Cheng Wen shook his head: "Xiao Chengyan never explained any reason to me, he just said, 'Since it is my son, I will give him a chance as a gift of age.' I think you should know this better than me. words."

Opportunity, is it an opportunity to activate skills?

But how did Xiao Chengyan know that his son would enter the descending world in the future, and what skills would he even possess?

It is a pity that the tyrant did not give an explanation at all.

"By the way, Xiao Chengyan's conditions did not include taking care of your mother and son." Cheng Wen picked up the glass and took a sip, "Thunder, rain and dew are all graces, so gifts from tyrants are not easy to accept. At that time, I thought, who would Being Xiao Chengyan's son is really bad luck."

Xiao Lan clenched her fists tightly and slowly released them.

At this moment, he really wanted to stand in front of Xiao Chengyan and ask him why he did it. He had ever thought about how difficult his wife and son's life would be because of this "gift".

Luo, who was beside him, noticed his state, and lightly patted Xiao Lan's arm with a soothing force.

Xiao Lan shook his head at Luo, indicating that he was fine.

He continued to turn to Cheng Wenyi: "Xiao Chengyan, where is he?"

Cheng Wen raised his eyes and pointed directly at Xiao Lan: "Dead."

Xiao Lan: "What?!"

The rumored number one high-level player, Xiao Chengyan, who even brought a lot of trouble to the world, is actually dead?

Cheng Wenyi didn't answer directly, he reached out and took off his jacket, then unbuttoned his shirt.

Then, he pointed to a weird gray pattern on his shoulder and said to Xiao Lan: "This is the mark left by Xiao Chengyan as a price for causing trouble for him. He said that unless he dies, I will never be able to get rid of it."

"In the past few years, I have tried countless methods and can't remove it. But just a few months ago, on the day when the world suddenly went wrong, this brand turned gray and became more and more bleak. It is estimated that it will not be long before will be completely gone."

"What does this mean, you know very well." Cheng Wen pulled up his collar.

Unless the mark that death can't get rid of disappears, of course, because the person who left the mark - is already dead.

Cheng Wenyi: "Of course, a nasty guy like him may not be dead. After all, the scourge has lasted for thousands of years. But so far, I have not found any evidence that he or the members of Wuzhu are still alive."

Today, at the same time, he learned about his father's true face and the news of his death, which had a big impact on Xiao Lan. He tried his best to suppress his chaotic thoughts and force himself to calm down.

"What did he do?" Xiao Lan asked.

"I know a little about this." Cheng Wenyi said. "Xiao Chengyan led the unpardonable and the disobedient to cooperate, preparing to resist the advent of the world and defeat it completely."

"Rebel?" Xiao Lan wondered, this was a completely unfamiliar name, he had never heard it anywhere.

Cheng Wenyi explained: "Only a few people know about this existence, he is very strong, and no one except Xiao Chengyan knows who he is. He may be the first player to enter, an NPC, or a BOSS, and another Or the monsters that come to the world to breed."

As soon as Cheng Wen looked at the scenery outside the window, his eyes seemed to be looking at someone who didn't exist: "Their cooperation should ultimately fail. Xiao Chengyan is dead, and Wu's forgiveness is gone, and the disobedient disappears."

The topic was a little heavy, and the room fell into silence for a while.

Neither Xiao Lan nor Cheng Wenyi said a word for a while, each sorting out their thoughts and moods.

After a while, Cheng Wenyi continued: "We should have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Xiao Lan asked, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Wen glanced at him: "Xiao Chengyan once said to me, 'How can one be manipulated by an existence that doesn't know what it is, and it deserves it?'"

"What about you? Are you willing to be controlled by this unknown existence?"

Xiao Lan thought that if he had the power of Xiao Chengyan as rumored, he would definitely not be reconciled to being descended into the world to manipulate his life and death.

No, even if he didn't have that kind of power, he would try to be strong, to be enough to resist.

Suddenly he found a reason why he had been desperately trying to become stronger all this time.

"I'm not reconciled." Xiao Lan said, he didn't want to be controlled by an unknown existence.

Cheng Wen smiled: "You are very similar to Xiao Chengyan, not just in appearance."

Knowing things related to Xiao Chengyan, Xiao Lan's mood became more complicated. Xiao Chengyan is a powerful player, a skilled organizer, a staunch rebel, and a failed father and husband at the same time.

He didn't even give Xiao Lan a chance to ask why, and he had already died in the struggle against the coming world.

Cheng Wenyi said softly: "Reincarnation, there is no contract player."

A contract means being bound to the coming world, enjoying the preferential treatment given by the descending world, but can no longer choose to leave.

There is no contract player in the entire reincarnation, and the meaning is self-evident.

In Samsara, there are people who depend more on the real world. They would rather give up some of the interests in the game and risk their lives to work in exchange for the protection and care of their families.

These people are the seeds of resistance.

"Looking forward to your growth, maybe we can come up with an amazing plan." Cheng Wen raised his glass to Xiao Lan.

——

After Xiao Lan and Luo left.

Cheng Wen stood alone in front of the window, with the most beautiful night scene in the city in front of him, but he didn't catch his eye at all.

Although Cheng Wenyi disliked Xiao Chengyan, both in his mouth and in his heart. But Xiao Chengyan's teaching to him still left him with an indelible shadow of Xiao Chengyan, whether it was his behavior or thinking habits.

Cheng Wen drank the remaining wine in the cup: "Hehe, Xiao Chengyan, a arrogant and conceited tyrant, but he has the courage to overcome obstacles."

He couldn't help but fall into memory.

The tall man and Xiao Lan are eight-point similar in appearance, but his body is stronger, the edges and corners of his face are more distinct, and his eyes are a bit more sharp and aggressive.

He stood on an unknown cliff and looked at the gloomy sky: "Even if I die one day, I will die on the way to fight the coming world, not like a mouse to be played by a cat."

Cheng Wenyi in a white suit stood beside him: "Then why don't you let me participate in your plan?"

Xiao Chengyan turned to look at him.

Suddenly he stretched out his hand and punched Cheng Wenyi. That punch was as fast as lightning, with unrivaled power, not losing to any player known for his melee abilities.

As soon as Cheng Wen was unable to dodge, he was directly knocked off the cliff by this punch.

During the rapid fall, Xiao Chengyan's voice came from a distance: "Let's go to practice, weak chicken—"

The written text that ends the memory: "..."

Tsk, sure enough, he still hates this guy.
