From Lu Xiaoyao's perspective, Mingmei heard Zhen Hu say that the other person brought in a plate of cut fruit, and her expression was very complicated.
Even when she was daydreaming while eating breakfast, Mu Chen noticed.
"What's wrong?"
"Last night... Zhen Hu almost died."
"What do you mean?" Mu Chen was stunned. "What happened with Zhen Hu?"
"Ah, Lillian caught him in Mona's room late at night."
"That's indeed quite dangerous." Mu Chen's mind raced, and he smiled before adding, "Doesn't Lillian have a knife?"
"Pfft, according to Zhen Hu's recollection, the other party brought over a plate of sliced fruit." Mingmei smiled, but couldn't help but think of the character's old diary that she had seen last night.
Um.
If Zhen Hu had acted a moment later last night, he might be dead today.
"I didn't expect... Mona would actually dare to do something like this, taking the initiative to pounce on Zhen Hu..." Mingmei ate her breakfast, her mind a little blank, and asked, "Achen, do you think—how much affection does Mona have for Zhen Hu right now?"
Why are you asking this?
"You said that Lillian, that NPC, didn't lose those memories, and it seems like she's intentionally reminding us of her true feelings for Mona. In the original story, she dared to stab her husband to death for Mona, so she must have really liked Mona, right?"
"You think... if she actually saw something and attacked Zhen Hu, would Mona intervene?"
Mu Chen couldn't say for sure about that.
Lillian is quite unusual in the game, and she has a secret.
"I don't think she would betray Mona." Although he couldn't give Lillian a definite answer, Mu Chen was confident that she was definitely not Mona's enemy.
"Lillian in the game is a very controlling mother. She controls Mona, but she also loves Mona deeply. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to kill Mona when her stepfather did those things to her. Even though Mona is no longer a good daughter, I don't think Lillian would do anything to hurt Mona."
As Mu Chen spoke, he also reminded Mingmei not to believe too much of what Lillian said.
"I understand."
Mingmei nodded. Lillian's character probably already knew that this group of "outsiders" had come here.
She intentionally or unintentionally leaked the information to these people, wanting to tell them that the information they received was incorrect.
Perhaps she didn't do these things with the intention of hurting Mona.
“I think we should have a serious talk with Lillian. Without harming Mona, let’s find the answers we need and then help Lillian achieve her wish.” Mingmei thought for a moment, then looked at Mu Chen and asked, “What do you think?”
"Of course."
...
Once they make up their minds, they act very quickly.
That afternoon, Mingmei and Muchen had a "chance" encounter with Lillian and went straight to the point to ask for help.
"Then what can you give me in return?" Lillian did not refuse outright. Instead, just as Mingmei had guessed, Lillian had something in mind.
"What do you need?" Mingmei looked into Lillian's deep blue eyes, and for a moment she really wanted to sigh that they were indeed mother and daughter.
They look so alike.
"I...I think this game will no longer be open to the public, is that okay?"
Upon hearing this, Mingmei was startled and looked at Lillian's all-knowing eyes, feeling somewhat incredulous for a moment.
"Are you a human or NPC data?"
Mona awakens to the fact that she is in a game and controls all the characters in it, which Mingmei can understand.
But what about Lillian?
Is she really just a unique "data"?
“I was once a human,” Lillian said softly, “but I died many years ago, and what remains here is merely a spiritual entity.”
"Then your mental strength is truly powerful." Mu Chen remembered that this game had been around for quite some time. Completely wandering in the game world without relying on a physical body, Mu Chen could only conclude that this Lillian must have been an extremely powerful figure in the past.
Hearing Mu Chen's praise, Lillian gave a bitter smile and said, "No matter how capable he is, what good is it? In the end, it's because I didn't raise my child well..."
"You are Mona... no, you are the mother of the prototype of Mona, right?"
In a flash, Mingmei guessed the other party's identity.
A living person sacrificed their own body to guard a BOSS in a game. Judging from their tone and attitude, they are truly like a loving mother.
"Yes. My daughter... made a huge mistake."
As for what mistake was made, Mingmei had already heard about the other party's inhumane reputation before even entering the game.
In the game, he was just as bad. In real life, he killed most of the teachers and students in the school, and in the game, he ultimately turned evil by sacrificing the school.
"Could it be that Mona also had these experiences in real life?"
Mingmei couldn't help but look at Lena in surprise at what she had written in her diary.
The result was that Lena nodded in agreement.
"Wow!"
Mingmei was at a loss for words.
What happened to the fact that they were born to be anti-human?
"So many dirty things have been kept quiet outside?" Mingmei remembered the documents and reports she had seen, and looked at Lena again. Lena nodded once more. Even though Mingmei hadn't asked anything, Lena's nod made Mingmei understand everything.
Lena's real-life husband might also have some problems.
