Half an hour later.

In a 24-hour convenience store, Su Deng rested her chin on her hand, looking at the seven-year-old boy eating oden beside her, still finding it hard to accept that he was Qin Xian.

It was Qin Xian, the timid, ghost-fearing, and greedy man who followed her.

Su Deng turned her head and looked to the other side.

Yan Sizhan sat on a high stool, his two long legs bent and stretched out. Dressed in black with green hair and a cold face, he was as beautiful as a painting.

It seems this is Qin Xian's world, or rather, his childhood timeline.

So what is the mission to save this world?

Save Qin Xian, who was abandoned by his mother, or save the world?

Su Deng wanted to give up.

"404?" she tentatively called out in her mind.

[404: Yes.]

I've been quite active lately.

Su Deng narrowed her eyes, "What's your opinion of the Divine Court?"

404: This function is not available in this system.

Su Deng: "...Am I really the chosen one?"

[404: Yes.]

Su Deng squinted, "What does the chosen one need to do?"

[404: This system does not have this mechanism; please explore it yourself.]

Su Deng: "..."

You can't hear a single fart in three sentences.

So, what should we do now?

Little Qin Xian didn't trigger any plot points either.

Could it be... that we really need to help him find his mother?

Su Deng shifted her position and lay face down on the table, feeling somewhat drowsy.

Yan Sizhan spoke, "Go to sleep."

Su Deng was slightly taken aback, looking at him in surprise, feeling that he was much more normal after becoming an NPC than when he was an executive officer.

She asked curiously, "Yan Sizhan, who were you before?"

Yan Sizhan frowned, as if he had been trying hard to think of something but couldn't remember. He shook his head and said in a cold tone, "I don't know."

They knew nothing when asked.

Su Deng looked listless. "Then do you know about evil gods?"

Yan Sizhan: "I know."

Su Deng opened her eyes. "What kind of existence is an evil god?"

Yan Sizhan: "The evil side of God survives by devouring human desires, greed, evil thoughts and other wicked thoughts. As long as people live and desires do not disappear, the evil god will always exist."

"Is he a man or a woman?"

Yan Sizhan paused for a moment, then said, "There shouldn't be a gender distinction."

Su Deng said "Oh," as if deep in thought.

"Sister..." Little Qin Xian, who had finished his meal, looked at her timidly, "Will you really help me find my mother?"

Su Deng opened her mouth, but couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Go ahead and look for it."

Xiao Qinxian's eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up and bowed deeply to her, "Thank you!"

Su Deng pinched the bridge of her nose.

However, before helping his mother, he needs to find Su Muye first.

They paid for the service and sat there without bothering anyone, so the convenience store clerk didn't ask them to leave.

The heavy rain lasted all night, only lessening into a light drizzle the next morning.

Su Deng roused herself from her drowsy state and shook Qin Xian awake beside her.

Because of the rain, the sky was dark and the city was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see the towering buildings.

The only thing that makes it clear that this is a game is that, from the player's perspective, there are some game-related markers in the city.

For example, health packs and some usable game assistance tools.

Su Deng asked Xiao Qin Xian, "Where do you live?"

Xiao Qin casually gave an address.

It's an old neighborhood.

When I arrived, there was a person at the door with two words hanging in the air above his head.

[Qin Xian]

The player's game name.

Su Deng called out, "Qin Xian."

The person at the door and Xiao Qin Xian beside him were both looking at her.

Su Deng: "..."

Ten minutes later.

Qin Xian looked at Xiao Qin Xian and remained silent for a long, long time before finally speaking, "You know, your mother will never come back because she doesn't want you anymore."

"You're lying! That's impossible!" Little Qin Xian shouted at him, her eyes red. "My mother would never abandon me! She will definitely come back for me! You liars!"

He broke free from Qin Xian's hand and ran desperately outside.

Qin Xian did not pursue.

Su Deng looked up at him. "Even if he is you, he's just a child now. Isn't that a bit cruel?"

"Is it ruthless?" Qin Xian looked at the little Qin Xian running in the rain ahead, his eyes dark. "I don't think so."

Several years ago, on a rainy night, my mother lied to me, saying she was going to buy him food.

He used a tattered plastic sheet he'd dug out of the garbage dump to shield himself from the rain, and waited there for a day and a night.

Mom hasn't come back.

At that moment, he knew that his mother didn't want him anymore.

But he didn't believe it.

He went home to find his mother, only to discover that strangers were now living in his house, which had become someone else's home.

“My dad ran off with someone else. My mom thought I was a burden, so she sold the house, threw me into a garbage dump, and took a plane abroad that night.”

Qin Xian said.

Therefore, her mother could not be found at all.

This is not a game mission at all.

"At first, I also resented my mother. I harbored hatred for them for abandoning me, so I scavenged for garbage and fought with stray dogs for food in the trash cans..."

Later, he was taken to an orphanage and stayed there for a few years. He read some books and learned some characters, but he didn't do well in school, so he dropped out and started working. Eventually, he became a food delivery driver in a small town.

It was painful, but he grew up on his own.

As he grew older, he stopped hating.

“My mother is also a pitiful person. Taking me along was just a burden. After I was gone, she lived a very good and happy life.”

She started a new family and had other children abroad.
