The third copy
【The strange things that happened during the day frightened you, so you decided to tell your husband about it.】
The table covered with a tablecloth was filled with delicious food. The two sat on either side, and Du Ming recounted what had happened during the day.
Cassia listened to it in his heart and wanted to open his mouth to answer but was stopped by an invisible force. He had no choice but to act like a saw-mouthed gourd.
You are vaguely disappointed with your husband's performance.
At night, the two of them still slept in their respective rooms, but Du Ming couldn't fall asleep in bed.
He felt lonely and cold...the cold marriage life made him numb and resentful.
Du Ming was enveloped in an inexplicable sadness, and his mood unconsciously sank. Halfway through his slump, he came to his senses.
Something's wrong! What the hell is this resentful mood? He's obviously a strong man.
Someone, feeling unhappy, immediately climbed down from the bed and ran to the next room, opening and closing the door, lifting the quilt and covering it, all with one hand, making people dazed.
By the time Cassia reacted, he was already in someone's arms. When he opened his eyes, he saw the man's strong chest muscles.
Cassia: “???”
"What are you doing?"
Du Ming said as a matter of course, "You are my girlfriend, isn't it normal for us to sleep in each other's arms?" If you ignore the slightly red tip of his ears.
Cassia wanted to refute but couldn't say anything, so she could only push him lightly to make him hold her tighter.
The two of them slept well all night, and Du Ming went to work as usual the next day.
For several days in a row, he did trivial things without even the plot narration that was triggered before.
I don't know where to start.
Du Ming was a little annoyed. In the evening, he went to the market to buy some spare ribs that they both liked. As a result, he heard the long-lost reminder sound as soon as he walked to the door.
You stood at the door, instinctively feeling a bit of chill. It's been sunny these past few days, hasn't it?
Inside, Cassia lay in bed, a surge of restless energy surging through her body. Dark grey tentacles emerged from Cassia's back, dancing with excitement, as if breaking free from long-held constraints.
Cassia heard the sound of the door unlocking and couldn't help but shudder. He tried his best to mobilize all the strength he could use, and then suppressed all the tentacles.
When he came to his senses, he looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.
At night, Cassia lied that she was not feeling well and had no appetite, and insisted on sleeping alone.
Du Ming couldn't argue with him, so he had to give up.
Midnight.
Someone, unable to sleep, walked out of the room and prepared to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Faintly, some light came from the side. It turned out that the door of the next room was not completely closed.
As if attracted by something special, Du Ming walked over step by step. Through the tiny crack in the door, he saw something bulging on Cassia's bed, and then dozens of dark gray tentacles stretched out from under the quilt, and a few even waved at him.
Oh!
Although Du Ming did not feel scared, the narration voice still played automatically.
[You vaguely sense that something is wrong with your husband.]
Du Ming closed the door calmly and returned to his room. These slight sounds startled Cassia who was lying on the bed.
He felt a little uncomfortable and his strength was not enough to fight against these tentacles.
No, we can’t delay this any longer, we must find a solution as soon as possible!
He wanted to go to the next room to talk things out with Du Ming, but just as the thought flashed through his mind, those tentacles that were ready to move seemed to have found a way to vent, and they broke open the door in a flash.
In the next room, Du Ming was standing behind the door, holding a machete he had picked up from the living room.
The moment the sound of a door being broken next to him was heard, he clenched the machete in his hand with an expressionless face.
So the so-called husband was actually a monster, and he was the poor human targeted by the monster? That's right, there were clues to everything from the beginning.
You sense the danger and are ready to strike first.
The tentacles surged out and ran uncontrollably throughout the room. Finally, they seemed to have found some heat source and suddenly rushed into the room where Du Ming was.
Du Ming immediately rushed forward with a machete in hand, but when he was about to chop the opponent, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
All the tentacles disappeared in an instant, and the memories forgotten in the corner also came back.
He remembered! Cassia!
In the next room, Cassia lay weakly on the ground, his face pale. A horn-like shadow appeared faintly above his head, his limbs curled up, looking pitiful.
Du Ming rushed over anxiously and hugged the person in his arms, "How could this happen?"
Cassia said weakly: "Have you remembered everything?"
Du Ming nodded.
This was the first time he saw the other person so fragile, like a piece of jade that would break at the slightest touch.
It took a long time for Cassia to recover. He briefly told Du Ming what had happened.
"So this is the situation now. Because of these reasons, I have to repair these copies. If I fail, not only you and I, but the entire game will be ruined. I need your help."
"Of course you can also choose to refuse." When he said the last sentence, Cassia's voice unconsciously weakened.
He was waiting for Du Ming to make a decision.
Without much hesitation, Du Ming quickly agreed, and then the two began to discuss how to get through this copy.
The reason for choosing the Monster Archives is that it is a comprehensive area composed of countless small copies, and it is not easy to be discovered by the enemy once you enter it.
In addition, this is also the place where the copy core is most damaged. If most of the core here can be repaired, Cassia will have the power to open the final battlefield.
"So that's how it is." Du Ming nodded in understanding and added, "But I don't think it's possible just by the two of us."
"Then do you have any good ideas?" Cassia looked at the other party.
"Can we enter and exit the Monster Archives dungeon at will?"
"Normally, no. Normally, you have to complete at least three small dungeons in the Monster Archives before you can leave. But I can spare some of my strength to send you out."
Du Min thought for a moment and refused: "No, let's not rush out for the time being. I suspect that the actions of the Du family and others in the real world may be related to the old demon king. It is safer to stay in the copy now." Besides, the people of the Brave Legion are also in the Monster Archives.
According to Qi Qiang's original statement, they probably wouldn't give up on this dungeon for the time being. As long as he completed the current dungeon mission, he could return to the Monster Archives' post center and reconnect with the other party.
I told Cassia the general idea, and he nodded in agreement.
Putting aside some messy thoughts for the time being, the two of them prepared to concentrate on overcoming the current difficulties.
In fact, according to the original progress, the difficulty of the entire copy is not very high.
File book - "The pure beauty got a husband after losing her memory". According to the normal copy, the final copy boss is this so-called husband. You only need to get rid of the husband at the end to successfully pass the level.
After Cassia entered this copy, she successfully replaced the original "husband", so passing the level was just a matter of a word.
But the difficulty now is that the core of the copy has been damaged. To some extent, this means that the old demon king's subordinates must have mixed in.
All they have to do is to catch the traitor while completing the copy.
Du Ming checked Cassia's current situation. Overall, it was not good. He was afraid that he could not use more force, which meant that he would have to rely on himself next.
Therefore, although Du Ming took this opportunity to recover his memory, he still chose to pretend to have amnesia when the situation was unclear.
You crawled out of bed with a headache, completely unaware of what happened last night. Only the bloodstains on the machete in your hand hinted at something that had happened before.
You can't help but doubt your husband and want to find clues that can prove it all.
Du Ming pretended to explore and looked around the room.
Not long after, Cassia came out of the room. He understood what Du Ming was doing at a glance, so he very cooperatively asked, "What are you doing?"
When acting, you have to perform the whole thing.
Du Ming's face stiffened and he looked embarrassed, even his voice became softer unconsciously. "Nothing... nothing."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of her, Cassia said no more and just said lightly, "I have a lot of work today, so I might be home late."
"Okay." Du Ming responded, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the people left, and his tense back unconsciously relaxed.
Outside the door stood Cassia, frozen in place. He was pretending to go to work, not really going in. Besides, his character was an NPC, so after the storyline ended, the system wouldn't care what he did.
Just then, an old man came down from upstairs, wearing a white vest, gray shorts, and a pair of flip-flops.
The old man squinted his eyes and glanced at him, shuddering all over. He glanced at the door again and leaned closer in a frivolous manner. "Boss, your mission for today is over, right? Do you want to go to the NPC gathering place and have some fun?"
NPC gathering place? I've never heard of it.
Cassia looked him up and down and finally nodded.
