Ren Suo is lost. Novel.
Getting lost is normal. Ren Suo is a master at getting lost. He could get himself lost wandering around campus during his four years at university. He would always use a mobile phone map when traveling. Ren Suo doesn't like going out, but he can always be dragged out to play because he is too lazy to look at the map himself and only hopes that others will take him around. So it was really his friends who led him astray when he went to the Internet cafe to play games...
They were now in the Dark Side of the Moon, which was a completely new world for them. Even though they had no problem communicating with the natives of the dream, the natives didn't know how to get there.
In the dream, although the natives are very similar to people in reality, their way of doing things is no different from that of NPs: they only know how to do one thing.
Those who play mahjong will play Nanfeng for sixteen rounds in a row; those who play extreme sports will fall off the building from time to time and continue to commit suicide; those who want to fall in love will keep thinking about it.
When the silver-white light column was still there, Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan could still follow it, but a few seconds after it disappeared, they immediately lost their direction.
It is very clear where their home is. As long as they want to go home, they turn around and see the building where their home is. It seems to be their fixed save point.
Seeing Ren Suo stop, Gu Yueyan asked, "What's wrong?"
“I’m thinking about the direction of my life.”
Gu Yueyan chuckled. She also guessed Ren Suo's current predicament and said, "Forget it if we can't find her. Why don't we go around?"
Gu Yueyan was not completely opposed to tracking Luna, because Luna was a Moon God Apostle who was single-mindedly fighting for the Silver Moon Crystal. Gu Yueyan, who was determined to pass off as a native to survive this trial, also wanted to observe the status of other Moon God Apostles, to know whether they were killing people, taking advantage of the situation, or competing harmoniously with "friendship first, deification second".
Currently, Luna is their only known apostle of the Moon God. By observing Luna, they can naturally obtain a lot of information.
Regardless of whether Gu Yue believed it or not, Ren Suo said so anyway.
But now that Luna can’t be found, Gu Yueyan doesn’t mind much. Instead, he observes this world curiously.
The dark side of the moon is the dream of all living beings. Although the whole world is gathered into one city, it does not mean that this city will be chaotic. Maybe it is very chaotic in a macro sense, but as far as a certain area is concerned, it is undoubtedly very distinctive and neat.
As they walked along, they passed through more than a dozen blocks and saw more than a dozen buildings of different styles. Even the people they met on the road were obviously different: there were streets with only Xuan people, streets with only white people, streets with only black people, and streets with only beautiful girls (Ren Suo actually got in successfully)...
The dark side of the moon is a strange and unheard-of place, but in terms of its gathering nature, it is a bit similar to the Internet: humans will automatically seek out similar people on the Internet and form groups, and the same is true in dreams.
In Gu Yueyan's opinion, the dark side of the moon is not a physical manifestation of a person, nor is it a replica of a person's reality. It is more like the mechanism of "what you think about during the day, you dream about at night", which is slightly more dreamy than reality, but not too outrageous.
Therefore, most people stay in their "comfort zone", familiar buildings, familiar people, familiar language, and live the peaceful life of their dreams.
If I were truly Aboriginal, what would I be doing?
What would the people I know be doing here?
Gu Yueyan suddenly wanted to look around.
Compared to Gu Yueyan who was full of curiosity, Ren Suo was a little hesitant at this time.
Different from the real-life feedback in "My Life Is Not Your Game", Ren Suo did not receive any prompts now. He acted entirely on his own brain.
It was more than 20 days ago that Ren Suo played Hunting Night. Although he could remember it, for example, Luna was picked up by someone the first time she tried to snatch the Silver Moon Crystal, and she was picked up by someone the second time she tried to snatch the Silver Moon Crystal. Ren Suo remembered it very clearly and he was quite angry at that time.
Until now, Ren Suona still didn't know that the person behind the scenes who was dedicated to picking up corpses and helping Luna get through the difficulties of the first day was none other than himself.
That's why Ren Suo chased out, because he knew Luna was going to fall to the ground again and he had to save her.
Ren Suo didn't have any idea of being "controlled by the game console" because he was subjectively willing to participate in this plot.
First, if he didn't save her, Luna would probably die, which would mean Ren Suo would lose a "Moon Goddess" combat power. For his own benefit, Ren Suo would naturally save her;
Second, it’s just so much fun to do.
Unlike the scene in "My Life Is Not Your Game" where he was so trapped by the game that he doubted his life, Ren Suo acted according to the plot of "Hunting Night" and did not suffer any loss. Instead, he was making a profit from Luna!
Moreover, Ren Suo remembered that the second Silver Moon Crystal that Luna obtained seemed to be very suitable for Gu Yueyan, but it was useless to let Luna keep it.
But the problem now is that Ren Suo doesn't know where Luna is.
Without a map or a hint, Ren Suo was surprised that the game console hadn't made all the arrangements for him... How come the game console also knew that players have human rights? Did the game console finally realize how badly it had hurt itself?
Recalling the harm caused by game consoles in the past, Ren Suo was speechless.
In "Midnight Walking Ghost", the game console cut out the clips where Ren Suo appeared, so he could only transform into a beautiful cook, and then watch his original body take Gu Yueyan, Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi, and Lin Xianyu to dine in turn... They could have just eaten together, but it had to be divided into four times!
In "My Life Is Not Your Game", it's really hard to describe. In the end, there is Xiaojiu to take care of, and I have to find time every night to chat with Yuffie and Kallen in the UK.
Speaking of which, the game "Upside Down World" is set in a martial arts context, but the world view is not in ancient times. Ren Suo feels that this game must be a rip-off, and he himself probably plays a role in this game... Fortunately, the upload of "Upside Down World" failed, otherwise, he might have been cheated by the game console again, and he wouldn't have received any reward for it.
Now that Hunting Night has no restrictions on him, Ren Suo feels good about it, because it means he has a lot of room to operate in the game.
With his intelligence, it shouldn't be a problem for him to have delicious food and drinks here.
Seeing Ren Suo remained silent, Gu Yueyan suddenly thought of something and pulled Ren Suo's cloak, saying in a low voice: "...Won't you walk with me? Or are you going to look for her?"
Ren Suo was never one to waste time. Now there was no clue at all, and the dream was so huge, what was there to look for? He shook his head: "No more looking. You accompanied me to chase it out just now, and now it's my turn to accompany you... We'll go wherever you say."
Gu Yueyan's face under his hood immediately turned from cloudy to sunny. He pulled Ren Suo from the modern European villa residential area to the medieval Victorian-style neighborhood, and visited everywhere like a tourist under the waning moon.
Ren Suo wasn't thinking about Luna. There was no point in making useless efforts. Maybe Luna really met a kind person?
He has tried his best. If the game console doesn't work well, it's none of his business.
After walking for a while, they heard screams of humans in front of them. They were shocked and looked closer, only to find that someone was fighting.
I saw several masked bandits in linen clothes besieging a man and a woman with guns. The man was wearing a Baroque-style hunter costume, chain boots, a leather windbreaker, a mask on his face, and holding a chain cane, fighting with the bandits; the woman had white hair, a dignified appearance, a tall figure, and was wearing a dark red Gothic maid costume. She hid behind the man and cast a moonlight spell to assist in the attack.
Ren Suo instantly determined the identities of the Moon Goddess Apostle and her partner.
As for the appearance of bandits in dreams, it is not surprising: dreams are the dreams of all living beings, so naturally there will be bad people dreaming, and bad people will still do evil in dreams, which is very normal.
It is precisely because of such bad natives that warriors of the League of Legends patrol everywhere.
That is to say, Luna was flying high in the sky all day long, so she never encountered any indigenous bandits.
After a fierce fight, all the bandits were eliminated, but the hunter was also shot several times and was about to bleed to death. The tall Gothic maid was nervously helping the hunter to stop the bleeding.
"They...are a little weak." Gu Yueyan said softly.
Indeed, they were monks, but they fought like this against a few armed bandits... Could they all be first-level monks? Did they come here to play for the first time?
Ren Suo nodded: "Yeah, it's okay if it's a man, but that girl is wearing a maid outfit. She's not here to fight at all."
Gu Yueyan looked down at her clothes and her face turned red. Compared to the maid outfit, her short skirt and white silk nurse outfit really made her unable to fight.
At this moment, Ren Suo suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and an impulsive idea popped up in his mind.
"I'm going to treat them." Ren Suo sighed.
Gu Yueyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed Ren Suo's question: "Is it because of the character label?"
"Well, but we can disguise ourselves as natives and get close to them," Ren Suo paused and said, "It doesn't matter even if they find out something. I can suppress the two of them by myself."
It was hard to say whether the hunter's chain staff could break Ren Suo's defense, so Ren Suo was naturally very confident.
Moreover, Ren Suo also wanted to gain the gift of cultivation by imitating the character's expressions. There was no doubt that he had no other way to act except to go out on the street to find patients. Ren Suo didn't believe that anyone would go to see a doctor in a dream.
Unless that person wants to hook up with a doctor, no one would even dream of seeing a doctor.
Gu Yueyan, who had intended to be calm and steady, wanted to persuade Ren Suo, but the words that reached her throat turned into a gentle agreement: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
So the two of them walked over openly. The hunter man and the goth girl looked at them warily. Ren Suo immediately lowered his hood and said anxiously, "Oh, God, were you shot by those damned gangsters? My old buddy, I swear next time I will let the heroes kick their stinky butts hard."
Ren Suo's words and the white coat under his cloak instantly made the two of them relax their vigilance a little. The Gothic girl asked, "Are you a doctor? Do you have any hemostatic medicine?"
"No." Ren Suo's answer disappointed them for a second: "But I am the superpower doctor of the League of Legends. My superpowers can heal him."
Although they were still somewhat skeptical of Ren Suo, the hunter man was bleeding heavily and they had no other choice but to let Ren Suo come.
Ren Suo did not dare to relax against them. He kept his whole body covered with gauze clothes and let Gu Yueyan hide behind him. He used the rescue skills on the hunter man, quickly stopped the bleeding and pain, and healed his wounds.
The hunter's body slowly relaxed, and Ren Suo felt the endless gift of cultivation from the character tag, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Playing the character tag was more promising than hanging up. This cultivation efficiency was almost comparable to Dong Chengling!
The hunter was shot five times. If he hadn't been treated, he would have died on the spot, leaving behind a tall and beautiful maid. It was very difficult for Ren Suo to treat him, and his spiritual energy was consumed very quickly. However, considering the gift of his cultivation, Ren Suo had no choice but to let him take the beauty home.
Gu Yueyan, who was standing next to him, noticed that Ren Suo's forehead was slightly sweaty. She touched the pocket of her nurse's uniform and found a pink handkerchief inside, so she carefully helped Ren Suo wipe the sweat off his face.
After a while, Ren Suo finished the treatment and calmly accepted the two people's thanks. He asked the hunter to use a wheelchair when going out for the next few days, and then took Gu Yueyan away quickly as the two wild monsters could no longer give any experience.
Ren Suo was thinking about whether he should find a patient to gain experience. Gu Yueyan suddenly asked, "What do you think of your character label?"
"Hmm? Very good." Ren Suo said. He could practice without fighting, and the treatment was not a hassle for him. "I am very satisfied."
"That's good." Gu Yueyan felt more at ease. Ren Suo's character label must be related to her wishes. What she was most worried about was that Ren Suo thought this character label was a burden.
"What about you? Do you think your character label is good?" Ren Suo asked.
Gu Yueyan looked at Ren Suo and saw that it was snowing suddenly in the night sky. A streak of snow fell on Ren Suo's shoulder. She reached out and patted the snow off Ren Suo's shoulder, nodded and said, "Very good, I like it very much."
"By the way, what is your character label? A nurse who saves lives and heals the wounded?" Ren Suo asked curiously.
Gu Yueyan shook his head: "It's the nurse who is taking care of the doctor."
"What, you're in charge of me?"
"Yes, without my supervision, you attacked the blue-haired girl just now!" Gu Yueyan stuck out his tongue and made a playful face, then asked with evasive eyes: "That girl...is her name Luna? Why do you seem to care about her so much?"
"Hmm? Because... because she's pretty." Ren Suo casually said a wrong option.
Gu Yueyan blinked and asked, "How does she compare to Teacher Dong? Compared to Sister Qiao? Compared to me? Who is prettier?" She quietly inserted herself into the options, very curious about Ren Suo's answer.
"You are different types, you can't be compared."
"What kind of difference?"
"The hair color type is different."
Gu Yueyan was speechless. Luna's sky blue hair was indeed very different from theirs.
But girls are naturally inquisitive and pushy, and it is not so easy to be evaded: "What if you have to choose one? Who do you think is the prettiest?"
Humans are like this, even if they know they have only a one in four chance at most, they still want to know the result and hope to get an answer that satisfies them.
If Ren Suo was a little more cautious, maybe he could really fulfill Gu Yueyan's wish.
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"When I was in kindergarten, my mother scolded me when we were discussing other children. She told me not to casually comment on or compare girls' looks. They are not objects that should be graded. Girls are always ranked in two categories: 'cute' and 'pretty'. There is only one person who ranks 'prettiest', and that's my mother. If I have a wife in the future, she will only allow one more person to be ranked."
"Everyone has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth," Ren Suo thought for a moment and said with a smile, "They all look good anyway."
Although she didn't get the answer she liked, Ren Suo's answer also satisfied Gu Yueyan. In fact, if Ren Suo really gave an answer that surprised Gu Yueyan, when Gu Yueyan calmed down, she might still be unhappy. She would take the initiative to compare herself with others, but it doesn't mean that she likes to be compared with others, nor does she like to raise herself by putting others down.
She would be filled with jealousy, but she would try to be fair. Only Ren Suo could prevent her from being jealous or fair.
Walking to the cherry blossom street where snowflakes were falling, Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan were suddenly shocked.
There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity that guided their direction.
"Is... is he an acquaintance?"
Ren Suo immediately pulled Gu Yueyan towards the hot spring bathing area not far away. The closer they got, the stronger the sense of familiarity they felt, as if someone was calling them.
Ren Suo walked into the bathhouse. There was no one at the front desk, so he could come and go as he pleased. However, there was a sign saying "Men Not Allowed" in the women's bath. If Ren Suo dared to go in, he would definitely attract the attention of the gang.
But the familiar feeling was at the private hot spring. Ren Suo strode over and said curiously, "I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance in my dream..."
"Yeah, I wonder who it is." Gu Yueyan was also very curious.
"Hmm...Fanying Hot Spring, snow..." Ren Suo thought for a moment and said, "It should be Mr. Mu."
Gu Yueyan's body suddenly froze, and she finally reacted.
Yes, they are acquaintances that both of them are familiar with, aren’t they Teacher Dong and Sister Qiao and the others!
For Ren Suo, they really think about him during the day and dream about him at night!
If Ren Suo saw Qiao Muyi, what would Qiao Muyi do?
This is a dream, Qiao Muyi will definitely have fewer concerns... And Qiao Muyi is very bold in reality, even with Dong Chengling watching. She might be even more unscrupulous in a dream, and directly use various means (such as force) to make Ren Suo her private property, and Gu Yueyan can only watch!
Even though dreams are different from reality, if Qiao Muyi conquers Ren Suo in the dream, Ren Suo will definitely admit it when he returns to reality!
Unless he completely denies his mistake...but it would be great if he did that, then Gu Yueyan wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.
Seeing that Ren Suo was almost at the entrance of the private bath, Gu Yueyan quickly stopped him and said, "Wait, Sister Qiao is taking a hot spring bath inside, it would be bad if you just walk in rashly, right?"
"She should be able to wear a swimsuit, right? What are you afraid of?"
Ren Suo was actually quite happy to meet Qiao Muyi: Qiao Muyi was a third-turn peak fighter. With their relationship, Ren Suo felt that as long as he was willing to pay a little price, he would be able to pull her to his side, which would be equivalent to having an additional powerful fighter.
"Mr. Suo!"
Seeing Gu Yueyan biting her lip and looking at him with red eyes, as if she was really a little angry, Ren Suo surrendered immediately: "Okay, I won't go in, I won't go in, you are lovely, please go first."
At this moment, the two automatic doors at the entrance opened automatically, and a lazy female voice came from inside:
"Come in."
