Yu Li and her boyfriend had known each other for four years and had been together for three. They were deeply in love.
Her boyfriend was gentle and considerate. Apart from being a little too ...
Perhaps because he was too shocked by the couple in the car, Eric became much more well-behaved afterwards and didn't stick to Yu Li as much.
Yu Li noticed that the other party would take out a white bottle from time to time, pour out a few pills, put them in his mouth, and swallow them directly.
The label on the bottle was torn off and it was impossible to tell what was in it.
Yu Li once asked the man directly when he was taking medicine. The man just blinked when he heard it, then tilted his head, and his golden hair swayed slightly.
He smiled and replied, "Vitamins, of course!"
Vitamins?
Yu Li smiled and didn't say much.
She wanted to see how long the other party would wait before taking action.
At night, Eric suddenly mentioned that his friend was hosting a party and asked Bai Jingmo and Yu Li if they wanted to go together.
The reason he gave was impeccable: "I told my friends about you guys, they have always been curious about you, so I wanted to introduce you to them."
He stared at Yu Li with a pitiful tone, "Of course, it's okay if you don't have time."
He looked so pitiful that it was hard to refuse his request.
Yu Li and Bai Jingmo looked at each other, then she smiled and said:
"Okay, we can join."
Following Eric to the entrance of the villa, Yu Li and Bai Jingmo were handed a mask.
Seeing this, Aikeli quickly explained: "This is just a formality. It doesn't matter if you don't wear it."
Yu Li took the mask and said calmly: "It's okay, if everyone is wearing it, I'll wear it too."
Ekli stared at the mask in her hand, blinked and smiled:
"OK."
After entering, they saw a group of people who were about the same age as Yu Li. When they saw Eric bringing people in, they just stood not far away with wine glasses in their hands, looking at them warily.
It was a far cry from the curiosity that Eric mentioned.
The man didn't seem to expect this to happen. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face and he scratched his head: "Um...you guys just look around first, I'll go over and tell them."
Yu Li nodded, and after the other person left, she crossed her arms and smiled faintly.
"That's more than I expected, Bo Jingmo."
Bai Jingmo glanced at the people present and said "hmm".
The servant came over with a tray, asking them if they needed wine glasses. Yu Li took a look and picked up a glass at random and put it in her hand to pretend.
She looked around and the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She took it out and looked at it, then raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She glanced at Bai Jingmo and said with a smile, "This is faster than I expected. I'll go out and answer it."
Seeing the note on the phone, Bai Jingmo nodded: "Be careful."
Only after they reached a place with few people did Yu Li press the answer button.
After the call was connected, the other party remained silent.
Yu Li tapped the back of the phone with her fingertips, chuckled, and took the initiative to speak: "What a surprise, I thought you would be in the copy at this time."
There was silence for a long time on the other side before a slightly hoarse female voice was heard.
"I just came out of a dungeon."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot there is a time difference." Yu Li smiled.
She looked up at the moon in the sky, her tone casual, as if she was chatting with a friend, "So how do you feel? Jiang Xi, is it very relaxing to be alone in the dungeon?"
Jiang Xi on the other end of the phone paused when she heard this, she lowered her eyes, and her tone was no longer as excited as before, but as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and her hoarse voice sounded as if she hadn't had a drink of water for a long time.
"Yu Li, don't you know my situation in the dungeon best?"
After the previous copy ended, Jiang Xi did not exit. Heaven trapped her in the copy, and she was forced to seamlessly connect various scenes, starting the next one immediately after finishing one.
A normal person would have been unable to bear this kind of high-intensity performance.
But at that time Jiang Xi had already been blinded by anger and hatred, and she was willing to bear everything that Heaven had done to her.
It doesn't matter whether it's forcing things to happen or seeking quick success.
The desire for power surpassed everything. Jiang Xi wanted to take revenge on Yu Li and help Hou Liang get revenge. She worked desperately to complete the copy and accumulate rewards.
As long as Yu Li is not there, she will definitely be able to thrive in the copy.
But the facts dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Xi and Tian Dao.
The warning Yu Li gave to Tiandao and Xing Yuan before was not just talk.
She said that she would leave the protagonist with no way out in the copy.
Ever since Yu Li's real identity as Li Mu was revealed, Jiang Xi seemed to have become the previous Yu Li and began to be ostracized by everyone.
Although those people did not show obvious hostility towards her, they never showed a trace of kindness.
Even when it comes to a process that requires cooperation, they will subconsciously exclude Jiang Xi.
Fortunately, Jiang Xi was able to rely on the luck of heaven to barely win, and sometimes even get extra rewards.
But after the initial hatred faded, what emerged was a lot of emptiness and loneliness.
Looking at the rising rankings and points, Jiang Xi could not feel a trace of happiness, only endless numbness.
Other players even began to fear her, but the funny thing was that the reason they feared her was not because she was powerful.
——It’s because of her skills.
"I'm sorry, could you please stay away from me? Your luck... seems a little too good. If anything dangerous happens, I might die in your place."
"Besides, you took all the rewards, and we got nothing."
"That's right. We are not as powerful as Limu, so we won't target you, but you should not repay kindness with enmity."
"Damn it! How come I matched with her again? It's over. I can't get the reward again."
"What reward do you want? You'd better stay away from her, or any disaster will befall you."
Countless voices flooded into his ears. Jiang Xi lowered his eyes, suddenly grinned and laughed softly.
Wasn't he supposed to be the protagonist? How did he become the disaster star that everyone hates?
It turned out that this was the punishment Yu Li left for her.
In just a few days, it felt like several lifetimes.
In the end, she even lost the concept of time.
Finally, after completing a certain copy, Jiang Xi took the initiative to call a halt.
She lay on the ground with her eyes closed, her arms covering her eyes, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes to the ground, silently, but as if hiding a surging emotion of sadness.
She spoke hoarsely to the air:
"… Pause, I need to go back."
After the call was made, Jiang Xi was slightly startled when he heard the familiar woman's voice ringing in his ears, and then he laughed at himself silently.
I might be crazy. I felt like tears welling up in my eyes when I heard Yu Li's voice.
She slowly closed her eyes, her throat felt dry, and she whispered:
"Yu Li, please meet me. I beg you..."
