Chapter 96: Thousand Faces of All Living Things (4)

After Lu Jinghong opened his eyes, he found that Shao Qiu Shui was gone.

She covered her head and slowly looked around.

The dizziness in his head gradually faded away, and Lu Jinghong found himself in a cramped rental house with backlight, feeling cold all over.

Lu Jinghong shook his head and realized that Xie Xin must have done something.

She should be trapped at this time.

Right now, we must first find a way to reunite with Shao Qiu Shui and make sure the little girl is okay.

Lu Jinghong rubbed his forehead, his eyes gradually became clear, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He had clearly vowed to protect that girl not long ago, but now he was slapped in the face so suddenly.

Lu Jinghong didn't know much about Xie Xin. He had only had some brief contact with him once because of a skill issue.

He should also be a creature of that high dimension.

I just don't know why I can directly come into contact with him in human form in this world.

Lu Jinghong made a discovery but before he could tell Gu Jiu, he was wiped out in the game by X.

In her contact with Arcana, Lu Jinghong used her skills to discover that the power of Arcana was not the same as the power of many NPCs she had seen. She suspected that she had a disguise for the purpose of investigation at first, and gradually broke through the defense of the monster princess.

But soon, Lu Jinghong was shocked by Arcana's characteristics.

The biggest difference between NPCs and humans is emotion.

No one can teach NPCs emotions, they are completely cold-blooded creatures.

But Arcana is different. She can learn everything that Lu Jinghong teaches her. Rather than saying that she was domesticated as a monster and turned into a human, it is better to say that Arcana herself is not a cold-blooded creature. She is like a newborn baby, a blank slate. If she is guided in the right direction, she can quickly grow into a "human".

Lu Jinghong almost instantly thought of the boy that Gu Jiu adopted in the copy.

The power behind Arcana is neither the game side nor the human side, but a newly emerging third party that is quietly emerging in the corner!

But because the energy of Arcana is slightly different from other origins, it is too close, otherwise Lu Jinghong would not have discovered it now. In the past, Lu Jinghong always killed NPCs when she saw them. People like Gu Jiu who were too saintly would think she was too cruel. Lu Jinghong also couldn't understand why Gu Jiu insisted on raising that strange child. She felt that Gu Jiu would be killed by her so-called "kindness" sooner or later.

But when Akana stared at the little princess, her violent heartbeat almost broke her chest.

She couldn't help but think that maybe Gu Jiu's kindness was right.

The power behind Arcana might be of the same clan as the creatures in the game, but its attitude towards humans is not as ruthless as X's.

Instead, it's more like chaotic neutral.

In the game field with the game party, human players are undoubtedly a hopeless case. But if we can quietly bring this third-party force that has been developing secretly to the human side, wouldn’t the chances of winning be greater?

However, before Lu Jinghong could tell Gu Jiu the hidden importance of the child, X suddenly attacked her and her companions in the copy.

When she was dying, Arcana gave up his soul to save her, which triggered His coming.

He repaired Arcana's soul and asked Lu Jinghong on the ground: "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Lu Jinghong took a deep breath and asked, "Who are you?"

"X," He said, "is also the X you mentioned. Do you have anything else to ask?"

Lu Jinghong endured the pain in his body and asked anxiously: "Which side are you on?"

He finally condensed into a little entity in the mist, and his peach blossom eyes were exactly the same blue as Lu Jinghong's.

A soft and pleasant voice swept across Lu Jinghong's ear and said, "Rest well, my believer."

When Lu Jinghong was dying, he vaguely saw a face.

"From now on, just look for Xie Xin."

He commanded.

Who is Xie Xin?

Lu Jinghong thought blankly.

Wasn't she going to die soon? Why did this person still order her to do things?

The moment he looked into the eyes of the masked magician at the venue, an answer almost automatically emerged in Lu Jinghong's mind: Xie Xin.

I just don’t know what Xie Xin’s stance is, and what his relationship is with the origin of that being close to humans.

The most urgent task right now is to find a way to find Shao Qiu Shui first.

This is a small space that was created individually.

This should be the level set for her by Xie Xin.

Lu Jinghong took a deep breath, cleared all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to explore everything in the room.

She walked lightly, fearing to disturb any uninvited guests.

At this moment, the door of the room on Lu Jinghong's left was suddenly slammed open. Lu Jinghong's body stiffened and he saw a little boy rushing towards him.

But the child seemed not to see her, and walked straight through Lu Jinghong's body and ran to the bed.

Lu Jinghong felt relieved a little. She touched her fingertips. She found that she could touch any problem in the room at will, but the little boy just now treated her as air and even passed straight through Lu Jinghong's body.

Am I a third-person perspective?

The little boy was the only variable in the room, so Lu Jinghong focused his attention on him.

The little boy appeared too suddenly just now, and only now did Lu Jinghong realize that something seemed wrong with him.

However, Lu Jinghong did not act rashly, but watched coldly as the little boy rolled his eyes and twitched all over. His weak body, which was originally holding the bed, soon fell to the ground. Soon he trembled and struggled to get up, arched his back, and kept digging his throat with both hands.

Soon, the little boy began to retch violently.

As he vomited, black clumps of stuff fell to the floor and slowly wrapped around the little boy's body like flowing black water.

"No..." The little boy stammered in fear.

However, soon, something black wrapped around his eyebrows, mouth and nose.

A sticky and heavy chewing sound came from the darkness. After a while, the black fog gradually dissipated, revealing the little boy's body again.

But Lu Jinghong felt that something seemed different about the other person.

The unconscious little boy on the floor suddenly opened his eyes, and even Lu Jinghong was startled.

However, it was these eyes that made Lu Jinghong hold his breath.

Now the boy on the floor has turned into Xie Xin!

Normal people can only see the surface of others, but Lu Jinghong's eyes can penetrate deep into the inner world.

Xie Xin’s eyes are so special.

But why did Xie Xin kill the original child and then transform into his appearance?

Lu Jinghong’s thoughts were swirling.

Her intuition told her that there must be some reason why Xie Xin showed her these scenes.

Just then, the sound of the security door opening and closing was heard outside the room.

"Xie Xin." A middle-aged woman's voice sounded from outside, "We brought your brother back."

Lu Jinghong took a wrong step. Although she was no different from air now, it was still strange to let others always pass through her body.

Then Lu Jinghong made an even bigger discovery!

A middle-aged couple came in, holding a skinny little boy between them.

That boy, Lu Jinghong, is too familiar.

Isn’t this the child that Gu Jiu is raising?

Lu Jinghong took a breath.

How did the kid come back to reality?

Could something have happened to Gu Jiu?

And why did Xie Xin deliberately transform into a human to get close to this child?

Lu Jinghong's heart was pounding, and she soon noticed something strange about the middle-aged couple.

There is no human breath on them at all, but the origin!

If Xie Xin carries the aura of the neutral god, then this couple carries the aura of X, who has always been hostile to humans.

If Xie Xin had not arrived, it seems easy to imagine what would have happened to the child who seemed to have some connection with the neutral faction and was raised by Gu Jiu and fell into X's hands.

Lu Jinghong originally thought that the child who looked like her was a monster bred by X, but that kind of judgment was so weird. After going through so much, it now seemed that the child that Gu Jiu picked up should be the work of another neutral party.

Lu Jinghong gradually began to understand what Xie Xin wanted her to stay here to see.

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Xie Xin said, "Those guys can't come to reality because they are too strong, and they are constrained by the world's checks and balances. I am not as good as top guys like X, so the constraints of the three-dimensional world are naturally small for me."

Gu Qiufeng was suspicious, but he knew that if Xie Xin really didn't want to tell him, he would never tell him even if he was beaten to death.

So he gently put the matter aside: "Forget it. When we return to City A, nothing will happen to you. Let's not just stand in the elevator, let's go to the floor."

I don’t know what kind of small copy the floor that Duan Jiangli selected is.

But with Xie Xin by his side, he can probably enjoy the joy of winning without any effort.

Gu Qiufeng walked out of the elevator with his hands in his pockets.

Xie Xin fell behind him and followed him a few steps slower.

They came to a door, Gu Qiufeng reached out and knocked, saying, "Are we going in?"

Xie Xin raised his eyebrows in confusion: "When did you become so slow?"

"What I mean is," Gu Qiufeng said, "Your physique is not considered human after all. You should be similar to an NPC, right? If you are restricted in this world, do you want to be temporarily stored in my card?"

Gu Qiufeng had long felt that his skills seemed too extreme.

He could vaguely guess that his skills might be superior to those of this world.

"No need." Xie Xin said coldly.

Finally, he seemed to notice that his tone was a little stiff, so he said: "Don't use your skills indiscriminately anymore. Everything is interdependent. If you overuse your skills, they will be checked."

After Xie Xin finished speaking, as if he didn't want Gu Qiufeng to see the expression on his face, he took a few quick steps and pushed the door open before Gu Qiufeng.

Gu Qiufeng touched his nose.

He felt that Xie Xin seemed a little angry.

Could it be that... his skills have side effects?
