Chapter 95 It’s hard to go back to work! * …

*

I know I might not be normal.

From a very young age, before I became a god, I gradually lost the ability to feel pain and love.

I can't love someone, or feel someone's pain, and when I become a god, I won't be able to cry anymore.

This is not surprising. Perhaps I have died on that day, died in the fountain of eternal life, and the one who survived is only the god of death who was born based on the human soul.

I can laugh, be bored, and be happy, but I will never fall in love with someone, nor will I suffer from hardships and betrayals.

So, how could I, as someone like this, fall in love with or like someone?

I just sigh for those who like me.

I couldn't sleep after Sean left.

I went out too, and no one stopped me. The red-light district was still glowing with neon lights, and loud music was playing day and night. Men and women were chatting and laughing, just like when I first came here.

I walked against the flow of the crowd, and their eyes fell on my lips, with a hint of ambiguity.

I know I may look a little embarrassed, but I don't need to care about their expressions. In this virtual world, NPCs are not worth caring about.

Although they have their own lives, they have nothing to do with the players.

The latter only need to vent, fight and enjoy themselves to their heart's content; they are the masters of this world.

My thoughts drifted aimlessly until I walked out of the red light district, when I was stunned by the scene at the entrance.

A small silver-white vehicle was parked at the entrance, looking as brand new as if it had just been brought in. There was nothing special about it.

The special one is the person leaning against the driver's door.

Her platinum hair was combed up, which was unusual, revealing her smooth forehead. She had a small braid at the end of her hair, and she was holding a cigarette between two slender fingers. Her profile was elegant, and there were a few cigarette butts scattered at her feet.

Every time I passed someone, I would go over and ask him a few questions. The other person raised his eyebrows. It was a handsome face that had not yet fully grown up, between a young man and a teenager. The gorgeous violet eyes glanced casually, and the wet shirt had been dried by the wind, leaving a faint red wine stain.

He was both destitute and noble, and all those who came to inquire about him retreated in defeat. The expressionless prince exhaled a white mist like gauze, covering his cold profile.

"...Neil?"

I was stunned.

He then turned his head and looked over here. This was simply the most amazing magic trick I have ever seen. Neil threw away the cigarette at lightning speed, and his expression suddenly became the same as usual, full of innocent taste. He looked obedient.

"I am here!"

If I hadn't been looking at it for a while, I would probably have thought that I was dazzled.

I opened my mouth, not knowing where to start. Neil stared at my face for a while, then naturally looked away and pulled me towards the aircraft.

"I bought a new flying machine, which I just brought up tonight. It will definitely be inconspicuous this time!"

"...What are you doing here?"

Neil paused slightly, his voice still cheerful: "I think you might need me."

"What if I don't come out today?"

"Isn't that a good thing? If everything went well, you should be sleeping now. And now you are here in front of me. I waited for you, which is another good thing. In short, it's not bad."

Neil stood in the moonlight, smiling at me. I somehow thought of the sirens that ravaged the sea, with silky eyes and countless willing skeletons lying under their long tails. His expression was innocent and his tone was intimate.

"what happened?"

"A lot of things happened, anyway, Thane was probably mad at me."

"Oh, that's too bad. We have a meeting tomorrow."

"Um."

We boarded the aircraft, and Sean set the destination directly. I didn't ask a question, and lay down on the sofa tiredly. Sean sat next to me, holding a medical kit in his hand, and motioned me to rest my head on his legs.

I sighed and rested my head on him as he wished. "Will this ever happen to you?"

"Yes, I would want to kiss you too. Isn't that normal?"

Neil took a cotton swab and dipped it in medicine, and smeared the wound on my lip with red medicine. It tasted fishy and sour. I couldn't help but frown, and he comforted me: "Be patient, it will be healed soon."

"Nothing, just continue."

Even when I spoke, I could feel the bitter taste of the cotton swab poking my lips and almost entering my mouth. When I thought about going out to meet them like this tomorrow, I couldn't help but sigh.

"I said something harsh to Sean. I said his emotions were programmed and he hadn't figured out his own thoughts yet."

"Ah, that's really too much. I hope he won't cry."

"No, but he's angry. I can't understand that... I can't comprehend him, your likes and your love. I don't know what to do."

The red medicine flowed into my mouth as I spoke, and Neil took a clean cotton swab and dipped it clean bit by bit before I licked it.

“That’s a big problem.”

I didn't respond, but just held the cotton swab in my hand. It absorbed enough water and swelled up. Neil changed the cotton swab for a new one.

"Why do you like me?"

"Didn't I tell you? It was because of a dream."

"Isn't that too rash?"

"Haha, maybe a little."

Neil smiled. As he continued to apply the ointment, he said softly, "When I was five years old, I stabbed my brother with a knife. My parents were both scared."

My eyelids lifted, and the braids tied with thin ropes fell down my shoulders. Neil looked normal.

His hands were steady. I could feel the cotton wool covered in medicine rubbing against my lips, spreading a thin layer of wetness.

"They asked me what I was thinking at that time. I told them that I just wanted to play with him. Since then, my brother never wanted to be alone with me again."

"After that, my parents sent me to treatment for a while. The doctor told me that I should feel guilty. I didn't understand, but I tried to learn what was right and what was wrong. I worked hard to learn how to be a normal person and live a normal life. My family was not short of money. They said I was smart. My only problem was that something was broken, which was shameful and undignified."

"Have you gone to your brother to apologize?"

"Of course. I told him I was sorry and asked him to just think of it as a dog biting him and he could cut it back. When I put the knife in his hand, he cried and told me to get out and he never wanted to see me again. So from that day on, we never met again."

"I didn't realize you were such an extreme person."

"I answered with a smile, without even thinking. But I don't think it's something I should feel inferior to. I"

"...You are a lunatic."

"Maybe. There is a little problem with me, but it's hard to tell. I spent a long time learning how to live a normal life. I like you. I like the easy feeling of being with you in my dreams. I like the tone of your voice when you talk to me. I like your pain and unswerving sacrifice. These fascinate me."

Another soiled cotton swab was taken away and a new one was pressed against my lips before I had time to dip it in the medicine.

"I love the curve of your lips when you smile."

Move upward and touch the tip of your nose.

"I like the way you move your nose like a puppy when you sniff."

Going further up, I subconsciously closed my eyes and let the cotton swab brush across my eyelashes.

"I like the emotions in your eyes. Depressed, burning, painful, confused. In this case, why can't I tell you [I like you]?"

When I opened my eyes again, what I saw was the cascading river of stars.

This is probably the closest place to the starry sky in the entire city, but it just doesn't expose the artificial hypocrisy. The upper panel of the aircraft automatically opens, and the stars are shining brightly, as if they are within reach. We bathe in them, just like riding on the boat of the gods.

"Don't you feel sad when I tell you that your feelings are set up?"

"Hmm? No way. As long as I work hard, you will always like me."

I looked at Neil seriously: "What if I don't like you no matter what you do."

The brilliant artificial star shone on us. Neil's eyes were hidden by his bangs. From my angle, I could only see the smile on his lips. His soft platinum hair was almost transparent.

"Then what should I do? Just kill the person you like. Haha, just kidding."

"Then I can only forgive you, right?"

"Since we have made a contract, as the person that Long likes, then you must be happy. Apart from the person you like, I will help you get rid of the others. In this way, it will be a happy ending for everyone."

"Won't you feel sad?"

"Maybe. If you have such a hunch, why do you ask?"

I sighed softly, looked up at the bright moon, and answered softly, "I just feel guilty. I don't deserve this kindness."

*

I spent the night with Neil, and early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, I suddenly sat up in a state of near-death sickness.

Oh my god, I forgot!

Meeting everyone today! My vest! (Groundhog screams)

It is known that I used the vest of the Son of Light when meeting the dragon, wolf and elf.

The one I used when meeting Kado was the dark vest.

Now the two sides are going to meet.

It dawned on me, and I rolled out of bed to call Samuel.

"Hello?"

The call was connected, and a sleepy voice came from the other end. I interrupted directly: "Samuel, do you have something that can hide your identity? The kind that can look different to different people."

Samuel: “Huh?”

After more than ten seconds, he suddenly reacted, and even I could hear his joy on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, you haven't told them your true identity yet, have you?"

"...None of your business!"

"Okay, okay, I don't care, I'm hanging up."

"You dare!"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Come see me before the meeting."

With the help of Samuel, I solved the problem overnight. He prepared a device for me that used camouflage projection technology to hide my identity. It was said to be newly developed and solved my urgent problem.

*

At noon the next day, a table of people finally gathered at Odysseus's house.

The important things have actually been discussed during the private meetings, and this time the main purpose is to work out a plan.

"The problem this time is, first, where is the thing we want to find? Second, how to get in without triggering the guards' alert. Third, how to find the location of their core content. Fourth..."

I was tapping on the display screen, and there was a circle of people sitting below.

Sean yawned in boredom and ignored me. Kajo was studying the vintage of the red wine in the glass. Samuel supported his chin with one hand and winked at me lovingly. Odysseus frowned, looking like he was worried.

Only the good boy Neil sat upright and listened to me carefully.

I looked around and just felt like the world was going to end.

I sighed deeply and knocked on the table. "It's impossible to enter from the front. It seems that we can only sneak in. Well, you can say whatever you want to say."

"I also think that infiltration is the best method. The core information of "God's Blessing 2.0" is stored in the chairman's office at the top level. If you want to find out, you must break through the security system and reach the core of the game center."

Samuel found a document from somewhere and opened it in front of us. It was filled with notes, and it turned out to be the building map of the game company.

Kazhuo looked at it carefully for a while and nodded, "I can transfer the guards, paralyze 50% of the warning system, and create a safe passage. But it will take at most ten minutes for the game company to react and send other personnel to deal with it."

Sean deadpanned, "I'll take care of them."

Odysseus came back to his senses from his contemplation and continued, "I will go to the game company to hold a thank-you concert that day, and their general manager will be transferred by me."

Neil raised his hand eagerly: "Then I'll go with you!"

The rest: "No, I won't allow it!"

"Why not allow it?"

Neil looked directly at Sean: "Do you like him?"

The Star Pirate choked: "...What does this have to do with you?"

"People who don't even dare to say they like me have no right to compete with me!" After saying this, he turned to look at Kazhuo: "Do you like him?"

Kazhuo waved his hands repeatedly. As he had not awakened the memory of another world, it was obvious that he had no intention of participating in this war. He just looked at me jokingly and signaled with his eyes: Look, the fighting has started again.

I chose to ignore it. Neil looked at Odysseus again, who curled his lips and said calmly, "Whether I like it or not is not something you can decide verbally."

Before Neil asked, Samuel raised his hand: "I like it!"

Neil ignored him: "Do you like me or him?"

I pointed at Neil without hesitation.

He raised his chin proudly, like a little rooster who had been praised: "In fact, I don't take you seriously at all. It doesn't matter which of you likes him."

With just one sentence, the atmosphere in the entire venue was like dynamite.

Neil didn't care at all, and looked at me with burning eyes: "What matters is who you like. I want you to like me, but I won't force you to like me. If I say it a hundred times and you like me a little bit, then I will say it a thousand times, ten thousand times, or a hundred million times, until you can't live without me!"

I don't know who cursed, "Fuck, so dodgy."

The rest of the people nodded vigorously, their eyes filled with disgust.

Neil, who was very self-conscious, was shocked and turned to ask me, "Isn't it handsome?!"

He showed a puppy-like wet look, and before I could answer, I saw him being held down by the shoulders by Sean. The latter didn't even look at me, staring straight at Neil, and said in a dark tone: "Take it back, it's against your character."

Neil: “…”

I:"......"

I sighed again.

I often cannot understand what the people around me are thinking.

Even if the world is really going to be destroyed, I doubt they can quarrel and punch and kick the optical computer, and they are all discussing my affairs. This feeling makes people feel helpless and a little too lively. I really want to punch them each and make them quiet down completely.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but do it.

Everyone at the table covered their heads and no one said a word.

"Can you guys stop making me feel like an old woman?"

I faced a group of accusatory looks and made the final decision.

"Okay, let's go according to plan."

*

The gaming company was located in the heart of the city, in the most luxurious area. Yes, it was the financial center of the city, forming a three-legged tripod with Samuel and Kajol's company.

As soon as we got off the aircraft, the security guard at the gate came to greet us. A slight hissing sound came from my headset, followed by Kazoo's voice.

"Follow him, he's our man."

We both followed him into the main door in silence. The lobby was empty. The security guard handed me an access card: "This is a card that goes directly to the elevator. You have ten minutes."

I nodded my thanks and took the card. The lobby was indeed empty. Odysseus's attention diversion was quite reliable. I saw the elevator in the corner at a glance. After swiping the card, it opened automatically, and there was no one inside.

The movement of the elevator brought a slight sense of spatial change. The destination was the 56th floor. The elevator wobbled and stopped at the 52nd floor, and the elevator door opened with a ding-dong.

There was no one outside and the elevator stood there motionless, as if waiting for something.

I glanced outside: "It seems they finally realized it."

Neil shrugged. "It can't be helped. Fighting the BOSS won't be easy."

Kazhuo said on the other end of the headset: "The elevator has been stopped urgently, please take the stairs."

The doors on both sides of the corridor are closed, and the walls are all cold and hard metal, giving people a strong visual impact.

The rows of seats were like an ant nest, and the computer screens flashed inorganic white light. Looking up, it was as if I had strayed into some kind of mechanical city made of reinforced concrete, and I was always worried that a camera would suddenly pop out from the corner.

Fortunately, the stairwell was not locked, so we climbed to the 54th floor. Just as we stepped onto the last two flights of stairs, we heard the hurried sound of someone running upstairs from below.

The earphones buzzed for a while, and Kazhuo said hurriedly: "They have reacted. I will go and argue with them. You guys stay safe."

With a click, the headset was turned off. Neil looked back and stopped: "I'll go deal with them."

"Be careful."

I didn't refuse in a pretentious way. I just walked forward when Neil suddenly called me. I turned around and met his eyes.

Neil stared at me seriously: "Be careful."

"No matter how you look at it, I'm safer than you, the rear guard."

I waved to him with my back to him and then went up the stairs. The stairs in the game company were high and steep, and it was bumpy to walk on.

If this was something I could tell others, I would definitely complain about the unreliable elevator facilities in the gaming company. When I finally stepped onto the last floor, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

Different from the machine-age scene below, the decoration on this floor is magnificent. Various trophies, certificates and medals are hung on the walls, and a thick red carpet is laid on the ground, giving people the feeling of walking in an award ceremony.

At the end is a wooden door. I opened it and the light came in, dazzling. If I worked here, I would feel like a king in control of this city at all times.

I squinted subconsciously and vaguely saw someone sitting at the desk. He had his back to me, overlooking the scenery outside the French window.

When he heard the voice, he turned around and revealed a face that I was very familiar with.

This face always smiles when it looks at me, and it never blames me no matter what I do. It is the look of looking at the Son of Glory, pitying and gentle.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, handsome and tough. Every move he makes is the ultimate interpretation of the word knight.

At this moment, this face looked at me. His blond hair was shattered, and his blue eyes were emotionless. He was dressed in a suit and his expression was as cold as a machine scanning the intentions of the guests.

"Hello, Ann."

He said in a magnetic voice: "I am Remiel. The president of this gaming company, and the Radiant Knight Commander you know."

Light brain.

Is this guy hiding a little too deeply?
