Chapter 28
When he opened his eyes again, it was still pitch black all around. It seemed that the first night, which was quite long in Lin Han's cognition, had not yet passed.
He took a deep breath and exhaled with some trembling, a bitter smile inevitably appearing on the corner of his mouth.
The first thing he felt upon waking up was the weakness in his body and the dull pain in his hands and ankles, which told him that what he remembered was not just a dream, but something he had actually experienced.
Other people's games seemed to be full of fun, full of fantasy elements that everyone desires, different from reality and becoming fanciful. Lin Han didn't care before, but now he couldn't help but envy him, because he played with fear and could die at any time.
The sharp blade looming over his virtual life would still make him fear and shrink back - in the short time of less than a day spent with Yin Yue, Lin Han was already convinced that he was a pervert, who could not be predicted by common sense and was the source of all his dangers.
Game time should be relaxing and enjoyable and pass quickly, but at this moment Lin Han was complaining in distress, complaining that the night was so long.
Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. Lin Han took another breath. When he exhaled again, the hot and humid air flow floated back and hit his face. The warmth made him dazed for a moment before he moved his body slightly.
The darkness before his eyes was not because the long night had not yet passed, but because he was wrapped in a blanket, so tightly that not even a ray of light could penetrate.
Lin Han paused, groping and trying to break free from the blanket. It took him a while to find a gap to reach out his hand, but he suddenly retracted his hand the next moment.
cold.
It's like suddenly walking out of a warm room into a snowy winter day. The exposed skin is pricked by the cold, causing pain like a needle prick. Because of the excessive cold, the original wound and the pain turn into dull pain.
Everything happened in just a moment.
Lin Han curled up there without moving. After hesitating for a long time, he groped his way out and looked outside.
He was still in that room, still in that corner, next to him was a mottled green metal cabinet, and in the distance was an old, dusty window. The glass seemed to be covered with a layer of dirty frost, while the outside was snow-white.
In the empty room, Lin Han exhaled lightly, and the breath turned into white mist visible to the naked eye.
It was clearly not the same weather yesterday. The light at dusk was exceptionally warm, making people feel cozy. But now when I open my eyes, it is a world of ice and snow. Just looking at it makes me feel that everything is dead.
The change was so great that it didn't seem like the original copy they had experienced. Unfortunately, when Lin Han confirmed the information, he found that this was still the first game copy where he needed to survive for three days to pass - the factory.
He gathered the blanket around him and huddled in, leaving only half of his face exposed, not daring to let even a trace of the coldness seep in through the gap.
Lin Han rubbed his stiff face with the help of the blanket and looked around again.
Silver Moon is not here.
He didn't know where Yin Yue had gone, and his mood was a little complicated at the moment. He couldn't tell whether he was relieved or something else.
After losing consciousness, Lin Han didn't know how Yin Yue dealt with him, but the blanket he was wearing at this moment must have been obtained by Yin Yue. It was big and thick, and seemed to be able to withstand all the cold. If it weren't for it, Lin Han, who was alone in this corner, would probably have been frozen to death and died unconscious in his sleep.
It seemed that he was saved by Yin Yue again.
He was wary that Yin Yue might hurt him or kill him, but before that, it was Yin Yue who protected him again.
Lin Han had no idea where this copy was going. His experience seemed so powerless and ridiculous in the face of these bizarre changes that he couldn't even deduce what would happen next. But he was sure that he would make concessions to Yin Yue that he couldn't even imagine, because a normal person with emotions would always have a good impression of his savior, even if he knew that the other person was a dangerous person.
Thinking of this, Lin Han curled up again, hiding his cheeks a little in the blanket, and only squinted his eyes to look out.
Unlike the cold outside, his body was warm, and he couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep in the comfort of this extreme temperature.
Lin Han shook his head slightly, lowered his head, and almost buried his face in the blanket, almost losing consciousness.
Are you hungry? Not really.
Is it cold? Not really.
Are you sleepy? Actually, not really.
But in such a cold environment, I inexplicably wanted to close my eyes.
Lin Han had never had such an idea before. Perhaps because he had experienced too much and it was cruel, he spontaneously came up with the idea that "it doesn't matter if I just fall asleep like this", as if this could help him escape all the suffering and find a place of true peace.
The pain in the wounds on his hands and ankles slowly subsided, and seemed to disappear as Lin Han gradually sank into the nightmare. It was as if as long as he closed his eyes completely, all the pain would melt in the warmth and never reappear.
The cold white outside world only showed a hint of white in Lin Han's eyes. His eyelids filtered most of the light into pink, and he was about to fall asleep.
"clatter."
The slight sound coming from a distant place seemed to knock on Lin Han's ears, causing him to suddenly look up.
The cold air seeped in through the gap at his neck, making him shiver with cold. He couldn't help but cough softly due to the irritation. Although Lin Han immediately pulled the blanket back up with shaking hands, he couldn't stop the coughing for a while and could only bend over awkwardly and cover his mouth.
"clatter."
The voice sounded again, and seemed to be closer to Lin Han. Lin Han subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound outside the window. He felt a little nervous, but inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
It's Silver Moon.
That was the sound of Silver Moon's crutch falling to the ground.
Because he had heard it too many times, it sounded so familiar to Lin Han that he knew it the moment it sounded. It was this sound that brought Lin Han out of the uncontrollable state where he almost lost all consciousness.
The cane, besides its obvious fundamental function of pushing everything aside, also seemed to clear one's mind.
In Lin Han's eyes, which he himself couldn't tell whether was fear or expectation, Yin Yue's figure finally appeared in Lin Han's sight through the window glass.
The glass was covered with frost and dust, and everything outside was blurry.
Lin Han could only vaguely see Yin Yue's figure, tall and slender. The wind in the corridor might be a little strong, causing his hair to sway constantly. Lin Han saw him turn sideways, and his eyes fell straight on him through the frost-covered and dirty glass.
It is difficult to describe Lin Han's reaction at that moment. He had the illusion of being stared at by a wild beast. Goose bumps appeared uncontrollably on his back, and the strange sense of security he had felt before also disappeared like smoke.
He had known for a long time that the danger was not in this copy, but in Silver Moon, but he never learned his lesson and always forgot until his instincts awakened the fear.
Yin Yue’s return is both a good thing and a bad thing. Lin Han is just stepping from one danger into another.
“Click.”
After the last sound of the cane tapping the ground, the door lock, which seemed to be covered with frost, was opened, and Yin Yue's figure finally appeared clearly in front of Lin Han.
He had taken off his black suit at some point, revealing his white shirt underneath. The moment the door opened, the wind from the corridor blew in, making his shirt rustle and causing Lin Han to squint unconsciously.
Yin Yue seemed unaware of the cold. She stood in the wind that could almost freeze Lin Han completely, looking at Lin Han with a smile.
He probably really didn't feel cold. When Lin Han tried hard to open his eyes to look at him, his exposed skin was still as white and healthy as Lin Han had seen before, not the strange color of being frozen.
"Sure enough, you can't even protect yourself when I'm not around."
The biting coldness that came towards him made Lin Han's mind particularly clear. He just looked at Yin Yue soberly as if she was teasing him. Knowing that he was afraid of the cold wind raging outside the door, she still stood there deliberately to let the wind rush in and tease him, but she pretended to be annoyed and said pitying words gently.
Here it comes again, Yin Yue’s strange and incomprehensible words.
The cold wind made his exposed face look sickly red. Lin Han knew that hiding was not a good option at this time, so he raised his head stubbornly and did not back down.
Once he retreated, it seemed that in Yin Yue's eyes, he had lost the similarity to "him".
After Lin Han couldn't help coughing a few more times, Yin Yue finally had enough fun and closed the door. The moment the wind stopped, Lin Han shivered and huddled into the blanket.
Yin Yue approached him step by step. Lin Han felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart. He pursed his lips and didn't look up. He saw Yin Yue's black leather shoes stop in front of him, then suddenly squatted down, tilted her head to look at him, staring at him with gentle and kind eyes, and placed two cans on the ground in front of him.
Lin Han avoided his gaze and lowered her head to look.
Familiar canned goods.
One was the canned meat he had eaten yesterday. Suddenly, the smell of canned meat came up in his stomach. Lin Han felt a little nauseous, but fortunately he was able to suppress it.
Another one, Lin Han looked at the packaging and it should be canned yellow peaches.
"You probably like sweets."
While Lin Han was staring at the can of yellow peaches, Yin Yue's voice sounded in his ears again. There was no threat in it, but it was gentle, like a very ordinary question.
If he hadn't spoken again.
"Right?"
Lin Han subconsciously held his breath.
His gaze lingered on the can of yellow peaches for a while before he slowly raised his head and met Yin Yue's eyes without blinking.
His silver pupils were filled with a concern as gentle as the moonlight, and the curves of his eyes and eyebrows made people feel at ease. There was even a blush on his face, as if he was excited and excited, but after Lin Han met his eyes, she couldn't look away.
Yin Yue wants Lin Han's answer.
Yes, and only one.
Lin Han took a deep breath, trying to remain calm and pretend she hadn't noticed anything, and replied, "Yes."
It was dangerous to fall into a deep sleep suddenly just now, but now Lin Han felt that it would be better for him to just fall asleep like that, rather than facing such a silver moon alone.
The only thing Lin Han learned from Yin Yue's performance was that the man had a sweet tooth - this was a fact that Yin Yue was certain of.
So Lin Han had to answer this way.
If he didn't answer like that, he would probably be useless.

The author has something to say: It’s been a long time since I last updated the article. I want to apologize to everyone. I’m really sorry.
My update time has been pushed to the limit (I started writing this chapter a long time ago, but it’s still today), but I still can’t guarantee the next update time.
Because of work and other things in life, I simply can't find time to write. For several weeks in a row, I couldn't even sleep 30 hours a week. I usually go to bed at three or four in the morning (I slept for 8 and a half hours yesterday, which was a long time ago. I was so happy). I don't know when I can resume daily updates... (T＿T) I will work hard
