Chapter 52 This is different, I like you
The reason why Li Ziyue chose to be honest was because Zhang Lian was obviously in a bad state just now.
He stood in front of the house in silence, his tall figure seemed too lonely as he was immersed in the darkness of the night. The cold rain wet the strands of hair that were sticking up on his forehead, and underneath were his dim eyes.
Those eyes, as deep and quiet as the sea, hid too many emotions that Li Ziyue could not understand.
He didn't know what this answer meant to Zhang Lian. From his perspective, Zhang Lian was just a teammate with whom he had spent one and a half copies together.
A stranger who gained Li Ziyue's trust after only spending a very short time together.
Li Ziyue himself also found this strange.
Zhang Lian is very powerful, has an unknown origin, and has unreasonable kindness towards him. He meets all the characteristics of a player who "wants to win his trust first and then frame him behind his back". Logically, even if Li Ziyue had spent ten dungeons with Zhang Lian, he would not trust him as much as he does now.
Reason kept telling Li Ziyue to be vigilant, but his emotions had already surrendered to Zhang Lian.
Li Ziyue had never seen a person who could blend "complexity" and "simplicity" so appropriately like Zhang Lian. He thought he was pretty good at guessing people's minds, but every time he met Zhang Lian, his guess would get stuck for no reason.
Zhang Lian is like a pool of transparent and clear water.
At first glance, the water is clear.
But I don't know the depth.
It's incredible.
The night wind blew the black hair around his ears, and the hair danced on his red ears.
He knew what the bride's appearance meant, which meant that Zhang Lian occupied a very important position in his heart, but Li Ziyue didn't remember it at all.
Li Ziyue realized very early that he had lost a large part of his memory. Perhaps in the past, Zhang Lian had been with him for a long time.
Li Ziyue looked at Zhang Lian and said without any hesitation: "Zhang Lian."
"I..." He changed the question, "Have we met before?"
Zhang Lian frowned and thought for a while.
"No."
If Zhang Lian answered directly, Li Ziyue would suspect that Zhang Lian was lying, because people will subconsciously take time to think when faced with such a question, but Zhang Lian hesitated.
This hesitation made Li Ziyue unsure. Although he did not rule out the possibility that Zhang Lian was pretending, but...
Li Ziyue sighed silently in his heart.
But Zhang Lian spoke up: "Brother, do you know what the bride's appearance means?"
Li Ziyue was stunned and suddenly didn't want to answer this question.
Of course he knows.
Zhang Lian just smiled lightly for a moment: "Do you think he is an important person?"
"no."
Well, now Li Ziyue has no idea.
Zhang Lianwei closed his eyes, his tone was unusually comfortable.
"It's someone I like."
“Boom!”
A bolt of lightning struck, shocking Li Ziyue so much that he stood still.
No wonder Sun Yuancheng thought the bride was the girl he had a crush on when he was a kid, and the buzz-cut man was his wife...
wrong.
Wait, he... likes Zhang Lian?
Why?
At that time, he had only been with Zhang Lian for one instance, and he already fell in love with her? Not really, right?
For the first time, Li Ziyue doubted whether he knew himself at all.
Zhang Lian pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly: "But didn't you say you are a straight man?"
He really brings up things that are not related to the topic.
Before Li Ziyue could argue, he heard Zhang Lian add, "These two answers are contradictory, which means you lied."
"Guess, there are two possible answers."
"One, you're not straight, you like me. Two, you're straight, you don't like me, and you lied to me."
Li Ziyue took a breath of cold air.
"It doesn't matter if you lied to me," Zhang Lian shifted his gaze to the other side, "I will just be sad for the rest of my life because of this lie. It's okay, infinite flow players have short lives anyway, and their lives will pass quickly."
Li Ziyue really wanted to curse.
It's really strange. When he faced Zhang Lian, he never said that he beat Zhang Lian. Could it be because Zhang Lian could always make him speechless that he developed a perverted liking for him like "He is so different, he is so unique"?
Li Ziyue, you are really crazy.
While being humiliated, he quickly found a loophole of Zhang Lian.
"Okay, but in the first fake copy you said you might be gay, and in this copy you said you are straight." Li Ziyue knew that Zhang Lian had used this point to make a fuss, but this time the focus was different, "I lied to you, you lied to me, we are even..."
"No," Zhang Lian looked at Li Ziyue seriously, "I like you."
…
The night wind blew three times and lightning flashed twice.
The long silence matched Li Ziyue's broken brain.
"you……"
"I said I might be gay because I've only ever liked you, and you happened to be a boy."
Zhang Lian continued: "You refused to drink water when you had a fever, so I had no choice but to pry your mouth open by kissing you. You reacted so strongly afterwards, and I was afraid you would hate me for it, so I just went along with what you said."
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon that can kill everything in an instant, and people like Zhang Lian who mix a little lie with the truth are even more impeccable.
What do you mean by "out of helplessness"? There were obviously many options available at that time, and Zhang Lian just pretended to be blind.
Li Ziyue regrets it very much now.
I should have given Zhang Lian a random answer just now. Even if it was Sun Yuancheng, it would be better than "Zhang Lian".
"I lied because I liked you," Zhang Lian said slowly, "and why are you so inconsistent?"
Because what!
Li Ziyue also wants to know this!
Li Ziyue's voice became hoarse, and after a long while he stammered: "This is because... this is..."
I have to find a reasonable reason...
"Because I had a fever and was unconscious at that time."
Li Ziyue fell into Zhang Lian's verbal trap without any preparation.
Zhang Lian deliberately brought up that incident because he wanted Li Ziyue to deny what he said at that time.
"So what you told at that time was a lie, and the truth is that you are gay and like me?" Zhang Lian reacted quickly.
Li Ziyue: “…”
"I was wrong just now. I have a fever now and I am not conscious..."
His words got stuck in the middle.
Zhang Lian placed his slightly cool palm on his forehead, and he gathered the loose hair on Li Ziyue's forehead to the back, revealing his delicate and handsome eyebrows.
"I can't feel it with my hands," Zhang Lian came closer, trying to put his forehead against his, "I'll try it."
“What are you sticking on!” Li Ziyue quickly dodged to the side, his hands unconsciously rubbing the red and hot tips of his ears.
Then he heard a very annoying chuckle coming from the other side.
"why are you laughing!"
Li Ziyue was about to explode when he saw Zhang Lian change his expression.
"I kissed you, will you hate me for it?" He tugged at Li Ziyue's sleeve, his voice low and hoarse, like a wronged puppy, "Brother."
Li Ziyue got goose bumps when he was called "brother".
"…Don't call me 'brother'."
"Li Ziyue."
"Neither is 'Li Ziyue'."
Li Ziyue is being unreasonable.
"Brother, are you throwing a tantrum and acting like a spoiled brat now?"
For a moment, Li Ziyue didn't know whether the word "brother" was more frightening or the fact that he was considered to be "acting like a spoiled child" was more frightening.
He turned away helplessly.
"I don't want to see you in this copy anymore. Zhang Lian, just find a corner and stay there by yourself. Sun Yuancheng..."
He glanced to the other side and saw Sun Yuancheng, who had been complaining just now, now huddled against the wall obediently, with an expression that said, "I understand. I'm just a quiet background board now. You guys go on, just treat me as if I'm dead."
If the environment permits, Sun Yuancheng might even be sitting on a bench, cracking spiced melon seeds in his hand.
Both of them deserve a beating.
Li Ziyue then realized why he was so stubborn and had to be with these two people. He could obviously clear the dungeon by himself. Wasn't he how he cleared so many dungeons before?
Finally, the sounds of gongs and drums disappeared in the rain curtain. Li Ziyue came back to his senses and focused his mind on the task.
"Let's go." There were still some things he hadn't figured out, so he had to take this opportunity to find out.
Unlike before, this time he did not drag Sun Yuancheng away, but asked Zhang Lian to take Sun Yuancheng with him.
Why should they take turns to torture him? They should torture each other.
Li Ziyue thought darkly.
Now it was Sun Yuancheng's turn to collapse: "No, brother, although Lian Liandi is also very good... but Lian Liandi runs too fast and I can't keep up!"
This is not the main reason at all.
Zhang Lian seemed to treat Li Ziyue as just a human being. Earlier, he grabbed Sun Yuancheng by the collar and dragged him outside. During this time, Sun Yuancheng was drenched by the rain, but Zhang Lian didn't care.
It took a long time for Zhang Lian to regain some conscience from Sun Yuancheng's tragic expression of "I'm done, I'm going to die".
I do have conscience, but only a little, not much.
He picked up a zombie from the side and said to Sun Yuancheng: "Bite him."
Sun Yuancheng: "No!"
This is where the zombie tooth marks on his face came from.
"You are a sprinter, believe in yourself." Li Ziyue held his forehead with his hand.
"No, no, no, my legs are in unbearable pain right now. I think more than 80 bones are broken... I can't do it!"
"...Do you know how many bones a person has? Your legs alone have so many broken bones? Zhang Lian, take him with you and don't listen to his nonsense."
Sun Yuancheng was in deep sorrow. Before he could even lift his leg, Zhang Lian leaned over to watch the fun and asked him innocently, "Are so many of them really broken?"
Sun Yuancheng burst into tears again.
"Brother! Look at him!"
The two were beaten up by Li Ziyue again.
With new hatred and old grudges added to it, Sun Yuancheng followed behind with grievance, bearing the two bumps that suddenly fell on his head.
Why! Li Ziyue only hit him once before! Why did he hit him twice this time?
Why was he the one being teased by Zhang Lian and also the one being beaten by Li Ziyue!
My God! My last name is Sun, you really treat me as your grandson!
…
The red sedan was parked in front of the house in the temple just like last night. Li Ziyue stuck to the corner of the wall and saw that a corner of the long curtain in front of the sedan was raised strangely.
But I only saw the long curtain moving, and no one came out.
After waiting for a few seconds, the curtain was retracted and the door was suddenly blown open by the wind. Sun Yuancheng was shivering with cold beside him.
There were a few players who had fever from the rain resting in the corridor. The house was quiet and there was nothing unusual.
Li Ziyue confirmed again and again that there was no bride, and finally he felt relieved.
He calmed himself and followed the previous route to the room where he had stayed before.
Although there is not much difference in the horizontal layout of the rooms on the four sides, when looking up, you can still clearly see that the roof of the room in the middle of the temple is much higher.
Out of caution, Li Ziyue still did not choose to go through the main entrance.
Li Ziyue had framed him before, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him to discover this secret passage.
Crawling in the narrow aisle again, Li Ziyue was getting more familiar with the process and his speed was much faster.
When he got to the very end, his hands felt sticky as usual, probably because the red dye that Li Ziyue and Ji Mingyun had applied earlier had not dried yet.
The temple is hidden underground during the day and only appears on humid nights. Moreover, this passage is in the dark, so it is reasonable for the viscous liquid to solidify slowly.
After walking out of the corridor, Li Ziyue was blown dizzy by the cold wind blowing in from the window beside him before he could even stand firmly.
The cold raindrops fell on his eyelids, causing a burning pain. Li Ziyue narrowed his eyes.
There was a loud thunder outside, making his brain buzz.
There was no light in the room, so he could only grope in the darkness following his previous memories.
“Bang!”
His heel accidentally rubbed against something huge. There seemed to be a gap inside the object, and just a touch of it produced several "buzzing" sounds.
Li Ziyue knew clearly that it was a huge Buddha with golden light.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and reached over there.
Then.
Before he could react to what was happening, he heard a very piercing "puff" sound.
[There is a heavy rumble of thunder and heavy rain pouring down]
[Then, a bright flame burst into flames, and the orange candlelight flickered, barely illuminating half of the room.]
[The air was chilly, and the biting rain blew in through the rear window. Li Ziyue lowered his head, his eyes fixed on his hands.]
[It was covered with sticky and smelly human blood. ]
[The blood drips, drips, and spreads to the front. ]
Li Ziyue's hands were shaking.
The strong smell of blood hit my nose directly, and everything in my vision was blood red.
He just felt his legs go weak and he seemed to be about to fall to the ground.
The sharp knife stabbed into the man's abdomen, and the cold handle was handed to Li Ziyue by the man.
The man in red in his arms raised his head slightly and gave him a cruel smile.
Li Ziyue's pupils shrank slightly.
The face that should never appear here was imprinted in Li Ziyue's dark pupils.
It's you——
The silver hairpin on her hair rustled in the cold night wind.
Unlike before, warm blood stained half of Li Ziyue's body.
His vision was gradually blurring, and he subconsciously wanted to step back, but just as he was about to act, he was suddenly pulled back by the woman in his arms.
Afterwards.
[“The murderer is inside!”]
[“Catch him! Hang him!”]
There was no stopping this time.
There were two loud bangs.
The door opened.
People poured in.
Li Ziyue raised his eyes and looked at all the people who came to judge.
The system sounds a reminder tone.
[Hello, player Li Ziyue, please complete your tasks: ① Find the real murderer ② Clear yourself of suspicion]
turn out to be……
This is the real...
The thick blood of the living dripped onto the ground.
Crime, established.
The trial begins.
