God's Mercy (II)
Li Yuebai sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes.
The person outside waited for a while and knocked on the door again: "...Yuebai?"
Li Yuebai yawned.
I still seem to be very sleepy...
"Come in, brother."
With his permission, the door was opened.
"I'm so sleepy, brother. You woke me up by knocking on the door." Li Yuebai was the first to complain. He raised his eyes and took a look. He was stunned: "...Huh?"
There seems to be something different about the brother in front of me.
Where is it?
Before he could figure out what was wrong with the person in front of him, his brother came over and sat beside his bed, just like he did that night.
He apologized bluntly: "Sorry, I thought you were waiting for me to sleep together."
"Sleep together?" Li Yuebai was confused.
"Yeah." His brother, who was wearing the same pajamas as him, nodded.
"Why do we have to sleep together?"
Li Jianxue's face also showed a trace of confusion: "Yuebai, haven't we been sleeping together these past few days? Because..." He paused: "You said you wanted to sleep with your brother, just like when you were little."
When Li Yuebai saw him say this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips, as if he was recalling something worth remembering.
"When you were a child?" Li Yuebai was even more confused.
Is this a new setting? Isn't his character an illegitimate child who was taken back to the Li family after he became an adult?
Li Jianxue looked up at him, then lowered her eyes, reached out and held his hand.
"It's okay if you don't remember. You were still very young then, not like you are now... But you can always come to me whenever you don't want to sleep alone."
“…”
Li Yuebai discovered that for some reason, he and the brother in front of him seemed to be out of sync.
He began to change the subject: "So, is the ceremony over now?"
"Ceremony?" Li Jianxue asked, "What ceremony?"
"The God's descent ceremony." Li Yuebai was at a loss.
Li Jianxue was silent for a while: "Who mentioned this ceremony to you?"
*
"..." Li Yuebai also fell silent.
Li Yuebai tried to click into the game system to view character information and other information.
[System crash...The system is being repaired, please be patient]
???
No, why did he collapse? He even drew a new card before he fell asleep!
Where's his card?
Li Jianxue seemed to misunderstand his silence, and he moved closer.
"Brother won't ask anymore," he said.
"Are you sick?" Why do you look so dull since just now?
He pressed his forehead against his with concern, his eyes so close to him that they were filled with concern that was almost overflowing.
"Seems a little hot." He stared at him.
"Not at all." He pushed uncomfortably and said, "Brother, why are you so close to me?"
Li Jianxue was pushed away by her beloved younger brother without any preparation.
"...Is it very close?" His usually cold eyes were full of doubt.
"Yeah." Although his brother NPC did like to put his hands on him, well, he liked to hold his hand and touch his head, but he still had a sense of distance and boundaries.
However, the "Li Jianxue" in front of him did not seem to be that person.
Well, now the system has crashed, the cards can’t be summoned, the people have fallen asleep for unknown reasons, the scene has changed, and it seems that my brother has also been replaced.
"You just talked about your childhood...can you tell me in detail?" Li Yuebai, who was temporarily unable to view system information, asked the "brother" in front of him casually.
"It's very late now." But the new brother is a person with a regular life.
“I want to hear it!”
"……good."
Li Yuebai fell asleep listening to his brother's pleasant and steady voice.
Half asleep and half awake, he felt someone covering him with a blanket.
She ran her fingers over his face.
*
After a few days, Li Yuebai still couldn't get rid of the illusion of a suspected system crash bug, but at least he figured out a little bit of the current plot.
For some reason, he seemed to have temporarily come to another time and space, and the time point jumped to four years later.
…No wonder he felt his brother had changed. It turned out he had aged four years. (?)
But the situation here is completely different, and it seems more like the original world in the game setting.
The Li family is still in the villain camp, but is still lurking. The current head of the family is Li Jianxue.
His classmates, including Cedric, Elvis, the Capet brothers and others, have already found initial jobs throughout the empire, but he is still staying at home.
Sword Master...Ye Jian has been missing for four years.
The new brother's desire for control and possessiveness is terrifyingly strong.
"Yuebai, do you want another bite?" Xin Gege liked to stare at him intently without blinking.
Fortunately, Li Yuebai is a broad-minded person, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable even when eating and sleeping.
He watched him eat slowly until his stomach was full, and a feeling of satisfaction rose in his belly, which had no feeling of hunger at all.
"Do you like today's clothes?"
"clothing?"
Li Yuebai then took a look at the clothes on his body. They seemed to be made of silk, very smooth, and embroidered with delicate dark patterns.
“It’s pretty nice.”
"Moonlight white suits you very well."
Li Jianxue looked at him, her eyes light and soft.
The moon is white, not as white as snow, but a light blue.
He also likes blue.
He searched for a long time before he found silk as soft as fresh snow and natural moon-white dye.
He would prepare new clothes for him every day.
The younger brother, comfortably wrapped in the clothes, looked at ease and happy, as if he was wrapped in him.
*
"Brother, why don't you let me go out and play with my classmates?"
Li Yuebai really wanted to know what his old friend was like in this world now. Unfortunately, his brother didn't give him this opportunity.
"They will all become our enemies in the future and should be kept away from as soon as possible."
"What about the leader? He is always on our side, right? Why did you reject him even when he asked me to play with him?"
"The people of the cult are very dangerous and will lead you astray. It's best to keep your distance from them."
"…What about Don Imel?"
Although it seemed like a different world, Don Yimei was still overly attentive to him.
When he met him for the second time, Don Imel gave him a pair of exquisite dolls.
That night, the doll was crushed into powder.
"The art of puppetry is strange and vicious." Li Jianxue said, "Yuebai, you have to be careful. You can't just accept the token from the puppeteer. In their inherited culture, it may have a special meaning."
What are you pretending for? I'm so angry.
Li Yuebai: "Yeah, I'm not allowed to see anyone, and I'm not allowed to play with anyone. I'm so bored."
"Is it not okay to just play with my brother?"
Li Jianxue was very stable, even when her brother accused her: "You are so boring, who wants to play with you?"
He just showed a little helplessness: "Am I boring..."
He said: "If Yuebai really wants to play with friends... I will kill them all, and then let Tang Yimeier make them into puppets and give them to you to play with, okay? This way they will not be a danger to you."
"Kill them all? Won't that affect the family's plans?"
"It doesn't matter."
Li Yuebai looked into his eyes and found that he was serious.
If he didn't stop him, the new brother would really do it on his own.
With just a few casual words, he decided the fate of those chosen ones and easily changed the Li family's plan that had been lurking for many years.
Compared with before, my brother is more powerful and more dictatorial.
Li Yuebai couldn't explain the change, he just felt something was wrong.
"Play for a while longer, okay? Yuebai, take care of your brother again." Even when he was facing him, he would repeat these words in a low voice.
But his brother's eyes remained over him until he drowned.
Like the deep sea.
When light enters the ocean, it will be absorbed by the sea water. The deeper the sea, the more light is absorbed, and the color of the sea becomes closer to black.
That's it, a deep black with no light at all.
He used his hands to block his brother, trying to push him away, but his brother grabbed his hand, put it on his face, and rubbed it gently.
"Is it really boring?" He said calmly, "What can I do to make it more interesting?"
*
When will the game system be repaired?
He really can't stand his new brother anymore.
