Xia Linyin's eyes widened. She jumped up from her stool, her shock followed by overwhelming joy. She stared incredulously at the man on the screen, "Xiao Li..."
Xia Linyin covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say. "How could this be..."
She never expected to see Xiao Li under such circumstances. How could he possibly appear on the large screen in the base's cafeteria?
By the time Xia Linyin realized what was happening, she was already standing below the light screen, looking up at the man on it.
The man at this moment is Xiao Li, Li Luo, Li Shang, Dr. Li... His personality has never existed independently; they know each other, are closely connected, and share a complete set of memories.
He died and came back to life countless times in the game, and each personality represented a different life, identity, and experience of the character he played each time.
Looking down at Xia Linyin, the angle and distance, combined with the powerful aura he naturally exuded, easily gave people the feeling of a god looking down on mortals.
But in reality, no one would have such a misconception, because the man's expression was so gentle, and his gaze was so doting and full of love, as hot as lava erupting from a volcano, so hot that people dared not look him in the eye.
His gaze traced Xia Linyin's features like fingers, sliding down her graceful neck and delicate collarbone. He parted her clothes, caressed her body, and stroked her tender skin...
Xia Linyin and Li looked at each other without saying a word, but their eyes spoke volumes.
Shangguan Xin swallowed hard, her face flushed red as she held her burning cheeks, not daring to look at the deep gaze between the man and Xia Linyin, yet inexplicably unwilling to look away, her gaze seemingly glued to them.
My God! This is an absolutely divine display of affection!
It feels like everyone in the world is in love!
The air was filled with the sweet smell of candy, and pink bubbles were rising in every corner of the world!
Fortunately, she wasn't standing under the screen. Otherwise, facing that gaze, she probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few seconds before feeling suffocated, experiencing a blissful, almost unbearable feeling!
How did an NPC from Project X end up here?
Could it be that the Rose Assassin's alluring face has appeared on the base's screens?
Before this, Shangguan Xin's impression of the Rose Assassin was one of deep-seated fear. Even when she saw the Rose Assassin appear, knowing that the other party was just an NPC character, her body still involuntarily shivered and made the most honest and instinctive reaction.
And now, she realized that even the Rose Killer, who represented the devil, could have such a gentle side.
Ada strode into the base's canteen, her gaze landing on Xia Linyin. "Linyin, come with me."
Xia Linyin looked at Ada, then at Xiao Li, "Ada, what's going on?"
With Xiao Li here, she certainly couldn't just leave.
"Honey, I can't explain much right now, you go first—"
Ada walked towards Xia Linyin, reached out and grabbed her arm, and turned to leave. But the moment she grabbed Xia Linyin's arm, she felt a chill run down her spine, and the hairs on her body stood on end. She felt as if she were being stared at by an evil spirit!
The temperature around us dropped a few degrees! A bone-chilling cold permeated the air!
Or rather, from the moment she called Xia Linyin "darling," the devil's eyes were already fixed on her!
Those tangible eyes solidified into the lash of death, whipping her soul and sending cold sweat down her back.
Ada slowly raised her eyes to look at Xiao Li. The moment she met Xiao Li's gaze, she couldn't help but let go of Xia Linyin's arm and take a few steps back.
What eyes they were!
The red was bewitching! The red was eerie! The pupils seemed to flow with the blood of the River of Oblivion, reflecting the scene of ten thousand ghosts struggling and howling in agony, more terrifying and horrifying than the blood pools in the depths of hell where human corpses turned to dust!
Seeing Ada's pale face and the expressions of fear and horror on the faces of the others, Xia Linyin pursed her lips and softly called out, "Xiao Li—"
She didn't want others to fear Xiao Li like they would avoid insects, ants, snakes, or scorpions.
The terrifying aura emanating from her vanished instantly. Xiao Li looked at Xia Linyin, her eyes and brows full of smiles. "Hmm?"
The last syllable of her voice had a slight upward inflection, enough to make one's body go weak.
His eyes were so bright and sparkling, it was as if he had two fluffy ears on his head and a wagging tail behind him, so that people would think of a little dog that would come running over at the slightest call from its owner.
The pressure that had been pressing down on her disappeared, and Ada breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had been reborn. However, she dared not touch Xia Linyin again; the NPC's eyes looked as if she wanted to kill her.
This is absolutely terrifying!
Fortunately, this NPC has someone he cares about. He controls all the world's quantum computers just to find Xia Linyin. Otherwise, who knows what he would do if he controlled all the quantum computers.
“Don’t worry, he’s everywhere now. You can see him anywhere,” Ada said to Charlene. “Besides, this isn’t a good place to talk.”
Xia Linyin glanced around and, seeing that everyone was looking at them, nodded to Ada and followed her out of the cafeteria.
Just as Ada said, Xiao Li was indeed omnipresent. His image was displayed on the light screen in the corridor, and everyone's every move was exposed to his eyes.
He watched Xia Linyin like a shadow, as if she were a ghost. Everyone except Xia Linyin felt immense pressure.
The light screen in the corridor was right beside her, within Xia Linyin's reach. She walked forward along Xiao Li's palm until she reached the door of the game control center.
"Go inside, the doctor is waiting for you."
Ada and the others remained outside the door, while Charlene nodded and entered the control center.
As soon as Xia Linyin stepped into the control center, she was stunned by the sight before her. In the huge laboratory, researchers in white coats were lying face down.
All the researchers were slumped over their keyboards, wearing helmets, sweat beading on their foreheads, their eyes darting nervously beneath their eyelids, looking as if they wanted to wake up but couldn't, as if they were plagued by a nightmare.
Apart from Su Yu, he was the only one left in the entire laboratory, wearing a white lab coat and sporting light brown curly hair, standing in the center of the laboratory, looking at the huge light screen in front of him.
