After returning to the player's room, Xiao Lan felt that her body was covered with sea water.

The semi-dry sea water stuck to the clothes, making people feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, now that they have returned to a safe place, they naturally do not need to endure this discomfort.

Xiao Lan quickly rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.

The warm water wrapped around the body, washed away the stains on the body, and also washed away the fatigue caused by the battles.

After coming out, Xiao Lan was in no hurry to train.

The two returned to the real world first to relax their nerves that were too tense.

Back to the real home.

Xiao Lan casually turned on the TV and ordered takeout on the app while watching the news.

The special service of takeout is a rare thing in the real world. How can you not experience it when you come back.

"There have been many disappearance incidents recently. The police remind citizens to try not to go out alone, and try to avoid going out late at night. If you see suspicious people, please call the report number..."

Xiao Lan's attention was attracted by the news.

He changed several news stations and read online news, almost all of which mentioned the recent mass disappearances.

Not only in the city and the whole country, but also in other parts of the world, there have been many disappearances. For a time, the whole world has become panic, and everyone has guessed what happened.

Xiao Lan frowned more and more the more she looked at it. Could such a big movement have something to do with coming to the world, right?

Could it be that the plan to let the descending world cover all mankind has still begun?

Luo also saw the news, and he suggested: "Let's go out and have a look."

Xiao Lan thought about it for a while, and let's see with his own eyes what the situation is.

It was already evening.

As soon as the two went out, Xiao Lan noticed something was wrong next door.

Uncle Zhang's vegetable field was deserted, Tie Hanhan was bored lying on the vegetable field, looking listless, not even biting on his slippers.

Xiao Lan had a bad premonition in her heart, could something happen to Uncle Zhang?

He walked quickly to the next yard.

"Ow~" Tie Hanhan saw the acquaintance, stood up and wagged his tail, and became extremely excited.

Xiao Lan touched Tie Hanhan's dog's head, and called into the unlit room, "Grandpa Zhang?"

There was no response from the room.

When Xiao Lan wanted to try again, Uncle Zhang's voice came from far behind: "Xiao Xiao, tip, are you back?"

Xiao Lan turned his head, just in time to see Uncle Zhang getting off a luxury car.

He was almost different from before.

In the past, Uncle Zhang wore slippers, vests and big pants all day long, squatting in the vegetable field with a sloppy appearance.

Now he is in a suit and leather shoes, his hair is neatly combed, and his expression is a little tired, but he still looks majestic and calm.

Xiao Lan was a little surprised: "Grandpa Zhang, are you here?"

Uncle Zhang motioned for the driver to stop, and walked over with a helpless smile: "You know about the recent disappearance, right? My son also disappeared last night, and the operation of the company cannot be left unattended, so I have to temporarily take over again."

Xiao Lan asked, "Has your son's affairs progressed?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "No, he disappeared when he was driving off work by himself. The car is still there, but the person is gone. I have used many methods, but I still can't find any clues. He seems to have disappeared out of thin air. Same."

Xiao Lan said, "I'm sorry."

At the same time, he had an ominous foreboding in his heart—

This kind of disappearance is too similar to the method of coming to the world.

Uncle Zhang waved his hand: "No need to apologize, although I don't know what happened, but the more this happens, the less you can panic."

"Tian Yi is an old man born to me when I was forty years old, but he is very good. He has not been a weak person since he was a child. I believe he can solve the problems he faces."

Although he said that, he still sighed: "Unfortunately, my old father can only help him manage the company, but he can't help him much..."

Xiao Lan thought about it and said to him, "If your son suddenly comes back one day, you can ask him to come to me, and we can play games together and relax."

Uncle Zhang has some doubts: "Thank you, but Tianyi doesn't play..."

Suddenly, he met Xiao Lan's eyes.

Those eyes were full of seriousness, and Uncle Zhang suddenly understood that Xiao Lan was not comforting herself.

He seemed to be implying something, but for some reason he couldn't say it.

Xiao Lan also thought that he didn't have much time in reality, and the time was unstable. In order to avoid any accident, he added: "If I'm not at home, you can also contact Cheng Wenyi, remember to do it as soon as possible."

Uncle Zhang seemed to see a little hope, he nodded: "Okay, thank you."

——

After saying goodbye to Uncle Zhang, Xiao Lan went home.

Luo showed him the business card of the sassy bag left by Cheng Wenyi before.

Xiao Lan made a call.

The person who answered the phone happened to be written by a person.

His tone was the usual laziness and arrogance: "Xiao Lan? Do you have anything to do with me?"

Xiao Lan didn't really want to find out how Cheng Wenyi knew his phone number. He briefly told Cheng Wenyi about Uncle Zhang's family.

"Brother Tianyi..." Cheng Wenyi's tone became solemn, "Don't worry, I will send someone to pay attention."

"You don't have much time to stay in reality, why don't you leave it to me. Samsara has a special department to help low-level players. Once he appears, I can take him directly from here."

Xiao Lan said: "Thank you, I owe you a favor."

Cheng Wenyi: "No, Brother Tianyi is about a few years younger than me. Although he is a generation older, we have grown up together since we were young, and our relationship is not bad. I should say thank you to you."

After resolving the matter of Uncle Zhang, Xiao Lan talked about another matter: "Perhaps soon, we will have the opportunity to cooperate."

Cheng Wenyi: "Oh? So fast? You are confident enough. I hope you have a better chance of winning, otherwise I won't spend the whole reincarnation betting with you."

Xiao Lan chuckled: "Don't worry, it's not now, but I will try my best as soon as possible."

Cheng Wenyi's voice came: "Humph, wait and see."

——

After hanging up the phone, the two went out together.

The streets are clearly desolate a lot.

The people who came and went on the street were all in a hurry, everyone looked nervous, and almost no one was alone.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone hurried back.

They came to a restaurant they had been to before.

The number of customers in the restaurant was also significantly less than half.

The popular restaurant that used to have long queues in the past is now clearly at the time of the meal, but it is still not full.

It seems that for the sake of courage, the guests in the restaurant are all gathering together, and there are very few people with only two people like them.

After ordering, Xiao Lan and Luo watched the surrounding movement while eating.

Due to the rapid improvement of his physique, as long as Xiao Lan is willing, he can hear almost the entire conversation in the restaurant.

"What do you think of the recent events?"

"I think some transnational criminal group is making big moves, otherwise the whole world will be in trouble."

"No, I think it's a certain country's tactics against us. Otherwise, why do we have the most accidents here?"

"Actually... I don't think it's necessarily a human being. How can people manage to disappear so many people without being caught?"

"You mean... there are ghosts?"

"Hey...don't be scary."

"No no no, I don't mean ghosts, I mean - aliens."

"what?"

"Alien?"

"Yeah, maybe aliens are catching people on earth for experiments? Let me tell you, there are many scientific studies that show that aliens really exist, let me show you..."

"Cut~ you are the most boring."

"Aliens are too nonsense."

Xiao Lan and Luo couldn't help but look at each other.

Who knows, the conclusion that seems the most absurd is actually the one that is closest to the truth.

But at the same time, another thought suddenly appeared in their hearts——

time is limited.

——

After the meal, the two returned home.

After taking a shower, Xiao Lan changed into a comfortable nightgown and walked out of the bathroom.

Luo had prepared black tea for him, just like every time before.

Xiao Lan skillfully sat on the sofa drinking tea, and at the same time allowed Luo to take his towel and wipe his hair.

Such scenes often occur, and it seems to have become a daily routine between the two.

The aroma of black tea and Luo's gentle strength made Xiao Lan a little sleepy.

Sensing his distress, Luo lightly pressed Xiao Lan's shoulder and put his head on his lap.

Xiao Lan lay down on Luo's lap along the strength, with her back to him to wipe her hair, and at the same time asked softly, "He... what will happen next?"

Xiao Lan did not mention who "he" was, but both of them tacitly knew that this was referring to the ruler who came to the world.

Luo: "Probably will find a way to implement his previous vision."

Xiao Lan was a little worried: "Will he find you?"

Luo kept wiping his hair on his hands: "He still can't find me in a short time. After all, there are so many games, and he can't monitor all the game fields anytime and anywhere. The probability of hitting him on patrol like this time is actually small."

Xiao Lan thought for a while: "Then he will send contract players to look for it in the game, just like before."

Luo said: "Yes, according to my understanding of him, there will be a large number of contract players in the game field in the future."

Xiao Lan frowned slightly and did not speak.

Things seem to be going in a bad direction.

Luo smiled: "Are you worried about me, sir?"

Xiao Lan didn't hide it: "Of course. Now I should have the power to fight against the contract, but my combat experience may not be as good as those of the players who have been in the world for many years. If I play against the contract players, the outcome is still unpredictable. "

Not to mention the guy who dominated, Luo and Xiao Chengyan couldn't take down the guy together, Xiao Lan didn't think that with the current self and Luo, he could deal with it.

Xiao Lan sighed silently in her heart, the speed of her own growth still seems to be unable to keep up with the speed of things changing.

Luo stopped wiping his hair: "Don't embarrass yourself too much, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Xiao Lan gave a soft "um".

The two stopped talking, and Luo continued to wipe his hair.

The room was silent, save for the slight rustling of towels and hair.

Xiao Lan's breathing gradually calmed down, surrounded by the most trusted person, surrounded by a stable environment, he fell into a deep sleep without any defense.

Luo put down the towel in his hand and touched Xiao Lan's hair, which was almost dry.

He gently stretched out his hand and stroked Xiao Lan's cheek.

He started with the same warm body temperature as him, with the soft texture unique to human skin.

"Sir." Luo called softly.

The sleeping Xiao Lan did not respond and still slept soundly, as if he would only sleep so deeply beside Luo.

The corners of Luo's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Lan with gentle force, and walked steadily towards the bedroom.

After gently placing Xiao Lan on the bed, Luo did not withdraw as usual.

This time Luo also lay on the bed, stretched out his arms around Xiao Lan, and lay beside him in a hugging posture.

While nonhumans don't need sleep, it doesn't really matter.

Luo imitated Xiao Lan and closed his eyes.

——

I don't know how long it took.

Luo felt as if he had fallen into a very strange state.

He saw Xiao Lan smiling at him.

But his consciousness is very clear, Xiao Lan should be sleeping beside him now.

Xiao Lan was wearing a loose white bathrobe.

The straps of the bathrobe were not fastened properly, revealing his body with beautiful texture and lines, and even if he looked a little further down, he could vaguely see his abdominal muscles and mermaid lines.

Xiao Lan opened her arms towards him, her lips slightly opened and closed, and she was calling him: "Luo."

This word is the beginning of all the connections between them, and it is also the name that will accompany him for a lifetime in the future.

Just one word made Luo feel like his soul was boiling.

An impulse and joy rose from his heart.

He stepped forward, reaching out to give him a fiery hug.

Maybe there are others...

But he saw his raised arm.

The arm was full of cracks, and the human skin became mottled, like the ugliest defective product in the world.

Luo's heart suddenly startled.

He looked up at Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan still smiled at him, opened her arms, and seemed to be waiting for a hug.

However, just behind Xiao Lan, a white spike was suddenly stabbing towards his vest, but he was unaware of it.

Luo's heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

He wanted to pull Xiao Lan behind him to protect him, and wanted to tell him that there was danger behind him.

But at this moment, he couldn't make any sound, and even his arm was gradually disintegrating into pieces, not only unable to protect, even grasping the opponent.

He can't do anything.

He just watched helplessly as the white spikes penetrated Xiao Lan's chest.

The blood splashed like a slow-moving picture.

The smile on Xiao Lan's face disappeared, his eyes were wide open, his arms were still stretched out, but his body fell backwards like a doll out of control.

Behind Xiao Lan was a bottomless white abyss.

He just fell, fell, fell... Little by little, he disappeared from Luo's sight.

In the end there was nothing.

The whole world is nothing but a blinding white.

——

Luo suddenly opened his eyes.

What caught my eye was the familiar ceiling, the soft mattress under her body, and Xiao Lan in her arms was still sleeping peacefully.

The reality is as calm as before, and everything just now seemed like an illusion.

Is it a dream...?

There was a hint of surprise in Luo's heart.

Now, does he also dream?

He reached out and touched his core, where there seemed to be a sharp pain just now.

The pain was even more severe than when the Dominion attacked with the previous core.

Luo looked at Xiao Lan's sleeping face, and pulled the person into his arms with a little force.

He gently kissed the top of Xiao Lan's head.

A thought flashed through his mind - no matter what, no matter what the cost, he would not let this person have an accident.

The author has something to say:

Chunmeng turned into a nightmare, asking Luo's psychological shadow area at the moment.

——An author whose name was mosaicked, riding a tricycle without reels, arrogantly striding across the night sky.
