Chapter 59, Part 1: "I hope the psychological shadow will always exist."...

After one victory, countless troubles followed.

The pollution of the black water will not disappear immediately, and countless twisted monsters are emerging from the bottom of the sea.

The Kingdom of Atlantis and the Temple of Poseidon are the two most powerful forces on the sea.

When the Temple of Poseidon was attacked, chaos also broke out in the Kingdom of Atlantis.

Fortunately, the seeds in the palace had already been eradicated. Before leaving Atlantis, Riccio issued a national alert. Although the attack had occurred so quickly that, aside from the capital, where damage was minimal, the other attacked towns had little time to prepare, overall, the damage wasn't enough to impact Atlantis' politics or overall situation.

Riccio hurried back to the Atlantis Palace to fulfill his duties as the King of Atlantis.

While bedridden, Singh also had to manage the affairs of Poseidon. He had no choice but to become interim Pope, shouldering the heavy responsibilities of Poseidon until a new Pope was elected.

While the Sea God was chasing the Sea of ​​Corruption, he still managed to mock Singer. Haha, didn't you want to be Pope? How did you become one anyway?

Singh was determined to practice hard and go to the divine realm to beat up his master as soon as possible.

I've been hurt and worked hard for you, and you're still mocking me? What kind of god is that?

Singer wanted Riccio to work harder. As a favored one of Poseidon, it was entirely possible for him to serve as both King of Atlantis and Pope of the Temple of Poseidon.

Don’t say that politics and religion cannot be unified. The war between gods has begun, and secular rules should keep pace with the times!

Richio walked very fast.

Looking at Singer who was determined not to be the Pope, and then looking at the two followers of the Sun God who looked dead when they mentioned the sun, and finally looking at Xia Xifeng's bald head that had just been burned, Li Qiao was glad that his presence was not strong in the eyes of the Sea God.

What kind of pope is he? He is just an ordinary mortal king.

Mrs. Katie wiped away tears when she saw her husband returning with serious injuries.

After wiping away her tears, Mrs. Katie continued to temporarily take over her duties as the Lord of Freeport and had no time to take care of her beloved husband.

Singer will focus all his energy on the Temple of Poseidon from now on, and the responsibility of the lord will be taken on by Lady Katie.

The sea was in turmoil, and the commercial trade of the free port suffered a heavy blow. In order to ensure the lives of the people in the territory, Mrs. Katie was so busy that she could only sleep three or four hours a day.

Singh and Mrs. Katie's daughter seemed to have grown up rapidly in a day or two.

Although they are young, they try their best to take care of their father and share the burden for their mother.

According to the players' "research", two or three years before the doomsday era in the game, all kinds of twisted mud monsters had already appeared in the dream world, and sparks of the impending doomsday were bursting everywhere.

The chaos now arrives a year or two earlier than in the game.

After taking a shower, Xia Xifeng moved a small stool and sat at the bathroom door waiting for Qin Lang to take a shower.

He had made much progress compared to when he was in Black Stone Town. He did not force Qin Lang to take a bath with him. As long as he could hear Qin Lang's voice, see Qin Lang's figure, and make sure that he was not alone, that was enough.

When Qin Lang walked out of the bathroom, he almost bumped into Xia Xifeng, who was sitting on a small stool in a daze. "What are you daydreaming about?"

Xia Xifeng raised his head with his hand on his chin: "I'm thinking that as we interfere more and more in the plot, the plot will change more and more."

Qin Lang did not laugh at Xia Xifeng's nonsense.

They are still very weak now, and all they can rely on is the protection of the big guys and their understanding of the game plot.

The change in the plot means that their "foresight" is becoming less and less useful, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to rely on "foresight" to avoid danger.

Like this time, even if they were prepared to remove the hands and feet of the Outer Gods in the Atlantis Palace first, the Outer Gods would definitely be prepared for new moves, but they did not expect that the Sea of ​​Decay would be so irritable and would directly reveal its cards and fight the Sea God head-on.

Look how cowardly Blood Moon is. He only knows how to run away, which makes Birthday even more angry.

"Go to sleep." Qin Lang said, "Don't think about it. We still have to clear the dungeon tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xia Xifeng looked at Qin Lang eagerly, "Can we be more open tonight?"

Qin Lang was confused by Xia Xifeng's strange words. He thought for a few seconds before remembering that he had said in Black Stone Town that Xia Xifeng was too close and made him uncomfortable.

Qin Lang's mouth twitched, he didn't answer, but just made the bed - he only made a quilt.

"Hurry up and go to sleep." Qin Lang said, "If you can't sleep, drink the sleeping potion."

Xia Xifeng quickly got into bed to prevent Qin Lang from changing his mind.

He had already prepared a sleeping potion.

Living people suddenly burst open in front of him, which was more terrifying than the group of souls who suddenly opened their eyes in Blackrock Town.

The latter had a wonderful sequel - as long as Xia Xifeng thought that the person who opened his eyes was his new friend, he was not so scared anymore.

This shock was followed by tragedy.

The Pope of Poseidon also died in the game, but died a few years later when Blackwater suddenly broke out.

He died early.

And there are the ten strongest combat priests of the Temple of the Sea God.

According to the players' "research", several of them fought until the last moment of their lives and died as heroes.

They all died early.

Death is unconscious and worthless.

Xia Xifeng drank the potion and lay down, holding Qin Lang's hand tightly, so tightly that it hurt a little.

Qin Lang half leaned against the head of the bed, staring at Xia Xifeng until the fear on Xia Xifeng's face disappeared. He confirmed that Xia Xifeng was asleep and then turned off the light.

After falling asleep, Xia Xifeng still held Qin Lang's hand tightly, as if he was holding on to a piece of life-saving driftwood.

Qin Lang gently pulled Xia Xifeng.

Xia Xifeng turned over, leaned on Qin Lang's shoulder, and finally let go of Qin Lang's hand.

Qin Lang stretched out his hand that had regained its freedom, put his arm around Xia Xifeng's shoulders, and half-hugged Xia Xifeng.

He patted Xia Xifeng's shoulder gently: "Don't be afraid."

Xia Xifeng seemed to have heard Qin Lang's words in his dream. His stiff body finally relaxed, and his tall body curled up into a big ball. He fell asleep peacefully in Qin Lang's arms.

Qin Lang stared at Xia Xifeng's face from the darkness.

Xia Xifeng has been clingy since childhood, and refuses to sleep alone when encountering something unhappy.

Uncle and aunt disliked Xia Xifeng's constant interruption of their lives and forbade him from sleeping with them. As a childhood friend who had shared a cradle with Xia Xifeng, Qin Lang suffered the consequences.

Xiao Qinlang repeatedly gave Xiao Xiaxifeng the cold shoulder, but Xiao Xiaxifeng couldn't read Xiao Qinlang's expressions of rejection, nor could he understand Xiao Qinlang's euphemistic words of refusal. Adding to Xiao Qinlang's personality issues, and his indifferent attitude towards many things, Xiao Xiaxifeng took advantage of the situation and used Xiao Qinlang as a pillow.

It wasn't until Xia Xifeng entered junior high school that he got rid of this bad habit.

When they were in high school, although they were still deskmates, they got along much more unfamiliarly due to their personality differences; after entering college, they had almost nothing in common except games, and the distance between their lives became even greater.

The other world was too terrifying, Xia Xifeng was frightened repeatedly, and his behavior patterns regressed to that of an elementary school student.

Qin Lang was reminiscing about the past when he heard Xia Xifeng talking in his sleep.

He listened carefully and heard Xia Xifeng mumbling "I'm sorry".

Qin Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

here we go again.

He had said so many times that he had adapted to life after crossing over and was happy to have come to a world full of excitement. Xia Xifeng never mentioned this matter when he was awake, but he would always cry and apologize when he fell asleep.

My childhood friend turns into a crybaby and repeats himself after falling asleep. It's so annoying.

Xia Xifeng has always been a pushover.

He would help an elderly person who fell down, comfort a lost child, and lend a hand to a traveler who couldn't move his luggage.

So he often got into trouble.

After being scolded by Qin Lang several times, Xia Xifeng learned his lesson. Every time before doing good deeds, he would assess the "danger" and turn on the video recording before doing good deeds.

Anyway, Xia Xifeng just couldn't stand idly by when he saw someone in need of help.

The same is true when doing something brave and righteous.

Xia Xifeng would rather learn a lot of experience on how to be brave and righteous without endangering himself than stand by and watch.

Xia Xifeng had done this countless times, hiding in the corner and secretly calling the police.

He always boasted that he was absolutely safe.

When rescuing drowning people, Xia Xifeng would calmly consider whether it would cost him his life and would not do anything beyond his ability.

What's the result?

Normal drowning people will just struggle, and rescuers can avoid danger based on experience, but what should you do if you encounter that one in ten thousand "water ghost"?

"But you still don't regret your bravery, you just regret getting me into trouble." Qin Lang twitched his lips. "Heaven actually let you, a good-for-nothing, be the savior. He really doesn't want you to live too long."

Qin Lang suspected that God had "captured" him as well in order to restrain Xia Xifeng's overly nice behavior.

Just like when they first met Leo, if Xia Xifeng was alone, even if he knew he couldn't defeat the wolves, he would still find a way to save people.

But he couldn't let himself be implicated. Xia Xifeng chose his own life over the lives of strangers, so he pulled himself away and ran away.

Qin Lang hopes that the "psychological shadow" he has left on Xia Xifeng will always exist, so that Xia Xifeng will know how to protect himself.

He closed his eyes and calculated the most efficient upgrade route in his mind.

When Qin Lang thought about Xia Xifeng wanting to lend their upgraded items to Hope Day for healing, although he would not stop him, he was once again frustrated by Xia Xifeng's pushy personality.

Did the Day of Hope burn Xia Xifeng's hair? That was a good job.

When he woke up the next day, as expected, Xia Xifeng climbed onto Qin Lang like an octopus again.

Fortunately, Qin Lang's physical condition is much better than before. Even if Xia Xifeng uses him as a pillow, he will not be woken up by being pressed or strangled.

"I'm sorry." Xia Xifeng knelt down obediently and repeated the apology that he had repeated countless times and would never change.

Qin Lang was too lazy to even roll his eyes at Xia Xifeng.

Get up and wash up.

Xia Xifeng hurried to catch up.

Although he had a good night's sleep and even dreamed of his and Qin Lang's childhood, the fear in Xia Xifeng's heart had not completely disappeared, and he could not let Qin Lang out of his sight.

Leo and Pereira, who were already used to the blood, had finished their morning sparring and were waiting for their big meal.

Even though she was very busy, Mrs. Katie insisted on personally cooking a big meal for the two halflings.

Singh and Mrs. Katie's two daughters also particularly like Leo and Pereira.

This proportionally scaled fairy-tale-style little prince is so cute that it will really appeal to girls.

Perilla refused to stick to him with a cold face. Leo was so shameless that he had no problem selling his body as long as there was something good to eat and drink.

Pereira's expression grew even darker.

Shameful!

Xia Xifeng jokingly said, "When we first met, I always thought you were a little withdrawn and gloomy. Now it seems that you only had a sullen face because you saw Leo."

Perilla retorted, "Nalang has a stern face, and it must be because of you."

Xia Xifeng looked at Qin Lang: "Really?"

Qin Lang responded very positively this time: "That's right."

Xia Xifeng: “…”

He pretended not to hear and urged Leo to quickly swallow his dessert and come to guard the door for him.

He is ready to try, what good things will this dungeon bring him?

Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang entered the dungeon. While Pereira and Leo were guarding the door for them, Singer also came to take a look in a wheelchair.

When Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang's aura suddenly disappeared, Singer became a little worried.

Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng are not even legends, will they be in danger?

Leo crossed his arms, the frivolous smile on his handsome face gone. "Of course there's danger, but there's nothing we can do. We can only wait for them to return."

Pereira gripped the staff tightly in his hand.

He remembered the first time Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang "disappeared" and came back, hugging him and Leo and crying loudly.

Combined with what Taylor and others said, he roughly guessed what dangers Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang faced every time they disappeared.

Face the evil god from another time and space.

Pereira closed her eyes and let her magic power flow through her body.

He had never wanted to be stronger so badly.

The same goes for Leo.

A halfling cannot sit idly by and watch his friend face danger alone.
