Chapter 125: "The Ghosts and Gods" 1 If I could fight alongside my family...

When walking out of the building of the Huanghun Guild, Zhu Ci heard a familiar female voice.

"Zhu Ci, can I talk to you?" Mo Anan called him out.

Zhu Ci thought about it and agreed.

…

Sitting in the park simulated by the game space, with the sky blue, Mo Anan handed a piece of candy to Zhuci: "Thank you for listening to me talk for a while."

Zhu Ci turned his head to look at her. When they first met, Mo Anan actually performed very well. She was much calmer than some older players. In Mo Yangbing's eyes, she still needed protection.

"Actually, I really want to play games with my brother, but we only played together for the first time, and he never took me with him again." The little girl frowned, looking a little depressed.

"He's actually worried about you."

"I know that the gap between us seems to be getting bigger and bigger, but I know in my heart that in their eyes I will never catch up with them."

Zhusi was unable to understand Mo Anan's mood, so he could only remain silent. The candy Mo Anan prepared was cola flavored, and he opened one and ate it. The memory of this candy reminded him of someone.

"Zhu Ci, I don't want to grow up under your wings anymore. Can I ask you for a favor?" Mo Anan looked at him eagerly.

Greeting: "Your brother hopes you will do well in college."

"Can people who have truly seen the truth of this world still live like ordinary people?" Mo Anan laughed at himself, a hint of sadness on his gentle face.

Zhu Ci opened his mouth but said nothing for a long while. After a while, he said, "Your life belongs to you. Even your brother can't influence your decision."

The girl curled her eyes and showed a beautiful smile: "Thank you, Zhuci, you will definitely be able to get out, but I have a secret, I hope you can keep it for me."

Zhu Ci looked at her in a daze.

"This is my gift to you. It's the amulet I got with great difficulty. I must give it to my brother and the president in the dungeon. Hmm..." Mo Anan took out three small necklaces and listed them like treasures. "The red asteroid in the middle is for my brother, and the other two are for you and the president."

Toast: "Why not give it to them yourself?"

"If I gave it to them, they might not be willing to wear it." Mo Anan shook her head helplessly, her eyes filled with nostalgia for the past scenes.

"You..." Zhu Ci hesitated when he took the necklace, "Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

"No, I'm fine, better than before, but... do you know my wish?" Mo Anan asked.

"Um."

"In fact, it's impossible for me to leave the game. Zhuci, aren't you curious why I'm always online?"

Cheers: “?” He really didn’t pay attention to this.

There was a hint of bitterness in Mo Anan's smile: "My brother didn't notice it either. He has been getting busier and busier recently."

"What's wrong with you? If you need help in real life, you can come to me."

"Haha, Zhu Ci, your expression is so funny. You usually have a stern face, but I can still feel that you care about me." Mo Anan's fingers were entangled and she lowered her head. "I'm just joking with you. Actually, I'm fine. I couldn't find my brother in real life, so I had to find him in the game. It's been like this for a long time."

"The first time I entered the game was because I couldn't find my brother, but it seemed that I couldn't find him even after entering the game, and the same thing happened to my brother. I tried too hard at that time, and I would faint for a long time every day." Mo Anan suddenly stood up and nodded slightly to Zhu Ci, "I'll trouble you with the next copy, but the most important thing is to protect yourself! You have to survive."

Zhu Ci was a little amused: "You make it sound like a life-and-death separation."

"It's always like this. When I was little, my brother always told me that he would let me live well. This has become a habit." Mo Anan said, suddenly tilting his head and blinking playfully, "By the way, have I ever told you what my talent is?"

Toast: "You want to tell me?"

"Don't be nervous. I'm telling you my secret, not asking you to tell me." Mo Anan said, "In fact, I can hear the NPC's inner voice."

Very powerful skills, Zhu Ci thought. Anyway, any of them would be more useful than his crappy skills.

"When I went through the dungeon with you for the first time, I heard their thoughts, including the one who was chasing you." Mo Anan said, "His thoughts are so strange."

Congratulations: “?”

"The joy in my heart is about to overflow."

Congratulations: "???????"

He was silent, completely silent. He decided to log off the game today and go home to play games all night. The game was about playing a prank on the ex-boyfriend.

…

"The challenge was actually accepted." A young man clicked on the forum message with a smile.

"That's great. It just happens to fulfill your wish."

"My wish is world peace and being able to talk about the future with that person."

"Control yourself, Joseph. If you don't know, you might be considered a man."

The young man grinned and his eyes sparkled, as if he was looking forward to something: "If the object is time, what does gender matter?"

"Then I wish you good luck in the next copy, "The Eyes of the Devil"."

"Thank you, Lilith. Although I may have been unfairly defeated by the newcomer, there's nothing I can do about it."

"You're already fantasizing about victory."

"The future is for looking forward to, isn't it?" Joseph looked up at the sky with a smile and made a prayer gesture, "I hope God will take care of us."

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Hey? Are there really gods?"

…

“Boom…Boom…”

Suddenly, a strange bell sounded from afar.

All the players stopped what they were doing and went outside to find the source of the bell.

Only veteran players still remember the sound of this bell, before the top three players on the leaderboard received their respective titles.

"This breath, gentle and harmless, is filled with sorrow. The ending is predetermined."

The woman waved her hand and a list appeared in front of her. The top twenty names on the list were all still.

Little Red Riding Hood held her chin up and asked with an interested expression, "Could it be him?"

"No." A cold voice immediately denied, "I will never forget his breath."

"Oh~ what a shame."

…

The same voice was heard during the speech.

"Like the school bell," he thought.

The clouds in the sky are like soft wings, and when the sound of the bell penetrates the clouds, it seems as if an angel is playing music in heaven.

He opened the message board and found that Mo Anan had entered her next copy.

Zhu Ci opened Mo Yangbing's chat box: "When do we leave?"

Mo Yangbing: "I don't know. I'll see what the president tells me."

Zhu Speech: "Did you send your sister in?"

Mo Yangbing: "No, she suddenly opened a copy, and she didn't start the live broadcast."

Toast: "Are you going to wait for her to finish?"

Wake up from the game space and go to the real world to wait. A copy takes only fifteen minutes, and it takes only these fifteen minutes to decide a person's life or death.

Mo Yangbing: "Okay."

Zhu Speech: "I think you can actually trust Mo Anan more. She is not as fragile as you think."

Mo Yangbing: "I've always known this, but being strong in this game is not a good thing. I just hope she can be a normal person in real life."

This game is out of touch with reality. The more entangled one is in the game, the more abnormal one's mind will become. Mo Yangbing doesn't want Mo Anan to live like this for the rest of her life.

Becoming a normal person, this simple dream has become their luxury.

In Mo Yangbing's eyes, even if Mo An'an could do it, he didn't want her to do it. This was just his protection for his sister as a brother.

It seems that neither of them did anything wrong.

Zhu Ci frowned. This was the complexity of love. There was no standard to judge right from wrong. He really shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs.

…

[The copy is loading. Entering the copy "Ghosts and Gods". ]

[The system detects that you and another player are in a competition. The first one of you to leave the dungeon will be the winner.]

[Loading copy...3, 2, 1]

…

"What the hell? This situation?"

"Why are you here too?"

"Why, I can't be here?"

…

The speech was delivered as the game loaded amidst a cacophony of noise.

When he opened his eyes, it was terribly dark and noisy, giving him a headache.

"Are you awake?"

"Well, didn't we wake up together?"

"Oh, about this, I see you didn't open your eyes just now."

Zhu Ci sat up and looked around. It was a very large room, a bit like a sealed palace.

There were no windows on the four walls, and only very faint candles provided light. I could see, but not much.

Next to him was Qi Shiyu, who was tied to him with a prop. The other person was wearing a white sacrificial robe and his hands were tied behind his back.

Zhu Ci looked down and saw that he was dressed the same way, so the others should be the same.

"Where's Mo Yangbing?"

"Oh, I don't know, but it should be safe."

Zhu Ci watched him move casually and freed his bound hands.

Qi Shiyu: "Do you need help?"

Congratulations: "No thanks."

Escape Art was introduced in a game I played before.

He untied it for a while and then let his hand out.

The noisy sound just now should have come from several other players.

Qi Shiyu had already taken out a lamp and shone it on their faces: "Old friends."

Zhu Ci stood up and looked over there.

[“The anchor has started broadcasting. This challenge is going so fast.”

"So strong players don't like to rest during the game? If it were me, I would play outside for a while before starting the next game."

"Wait, this dress..."

"Well, it certainly looks good on the anchor, but... I still suggest you turn the camera around."】

The white artificial light illuminated the noisy area. Zhu Ci saw two burly men, two young men, two charming women, and a relatively young girl.

【“Oh… God, most of them are acquaintances.”

"Hehehe, this white ritual robe is really similar to a skirt. To round it off, I saw the big guys wearing women's clothing."】

"Why are you here too?" Seeing Qi Shiyu, the young man could hardly hide his surprise.

"Huh? You are..." another man also spoke.

"Yes, it's me." Qi Shiyu narrowed his eyes and smiled.

【“Eh? Why did I only see now that the person next to the anchor is the president of the Dusk Guild!”

"Huh? When did you get to know the anchor?"

"It's over, it's over. What's going on with this dungeon? Will the difficulty go off the charts?"

"Eh? Why did Lao Qi go to someone else's live broadcast room? He doesn't open his own."】

…

"Ah! If I had known I would be with a stubborn person like you, I would have entered the game a little later!"

"Hmm?" The other young man turned his head slightly puzzled and saw Zhuci standing quietly in the dark. "And you, so you two know each other?"

Zhuci was observing the situation around him and didn't listen carefully to what they were saying.

He saw other people's faces at the edge of the white light. It seemed that there were not only them in this place, but also some people who looked like NPCs. Some of these people opened their eyes wide, showing fear, while some closed their eyes tightly.

Zhu Ci reached out and touched his left eye, which was a little wet.

"Turn off the lights." Zhu Ci said to Qi Shiyu who was standing beside him.

Qi Shiyu turned his head and subconsciously looked at Zhu Ci's blind spot, then immediately turned off the lights.

When the light is suddenly taken away, the vision will fall into a brief fog.

"ah!"

Suddenly, several screams were heard.

"..." Zhushou was a little speechless.

He was not frightened by the darkness, but he was frightened by these players. It was not a pleasant feeling to break out in a cold sweat on his back.

Was it his illusion? These players seemed not as calm as the previous ones.

"...Don't turn your head!" Someone warned me.
