"you……"
"Don't be impulsive!" Zhang Xiaoyu and his wife's expressions changed drastically. "What do you want? We can discuss it as long as you release Xiaohai!"
"Otherwise, you won't be able to escape even if I call out the whole village!"
"Is that Su Deng?"
"What is she doing?"
Other players passing by stopped in their tracks when they saw Su Deng.
Several players in the game came over to take a look.
"Could she be planning to kill an NPC?"
"If you kill an NPC here, the player will be trapped here forever and become an NPC. She can't be that innocent, can she?"
"Not necessarily... I saw her beat the game with brute force when I watched her live stream before..."
Players both inside and outside the game stared intently.
Ignoring everyone else, Su Deng lifted her eyelids to look at Zhang Xiaoyu and his wife, and smiled, "I'll do anything as long as I let him go, right?"
Zhang Xiaoyu and his wife gritted their teeth and nodded without hesitation.
"good."
Su Deng took out a small white pill, smaller than a fingernail, from her pocket and put it into Xiao Hai's mouth. "Next, you have to do something for me. If you succeed, I will release him; if you fail, he will be poisoned by this pill."
"You..." Zhang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, "You speak!"
Su Deng smiled slightly, "Take your wife and children to see your father."
Zhang Xiaoyu and his wife: "...?"
Other players: "...??"
After realizing what was happening, Zhang Ziyu's face turned grim. "No..."
Before he could finish saying "I can," Su Deng interrupted him, "Are you going to see your father, or are you going to take your son's life?"
"You...I..."
"Xiaoyu..."
Zhang Xiaoyu and her husband looked at the small seaweed in her hand, gritted their teeth, and said, "Okay!"
“And another thing,” Su Deng said, “Take your wife and children to see your father and reconcile with him, and you must express that it is voluntary, not coerced, so that he will be happy.”
"He's the one who wronged me! Why should I let him be happy, you..."
"Dad! Save me!"
Before Zhang Xiaoyu could finish her angry words, Xiao Hai, who was being grabbed by the neck and lifted up, screamed desperately.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go!"
The rules prohibit killing NPCs, but they don't say you can't threaten them.
Anyway, you just need to coax the old man into giving you the reward.
Su Deng's lips curled into a wicked smile. She put down Xiao Hai, toying with the sharp sword in her hand, and led the way. "Let's go."
No matter how much Zhang Xiaoyu didn't want to go, her son's life was in her hands, so she could only grit her teeth and endure the humiliation of taking her son with her.
After Su Deng left, the old man looked around at the door. When he saw Su Deng arrive with his son and grandson, he was startled, but then became excited and quickly retreated into the yard to straighten his clothes.
As they approached the door, Su Deng glanced at the family of three behind her, whose faces were dark and unpleasant, and said calmly, "Smile."
All players: "..."
Su Deng: "If he finds out that you were faking it or that you were threatened, all three of you will die."
Zhang Xiaoyu and his family of three were filled with anger but dared not show it, so they could only try their best to suppress it and put on smiles.
The moment Su Deng reached the door, sheathed her sword, her face regaining its harmless expression. She pushed open the gate to the courtyard and smiled sweetly and politely, "Grandpa Zhang, I've brought your son."
All players: "..."
Grandpa Zhang coughed lightly and looked at the people behind her.
Holding his wife's hand in one hand and his son's hand in the other, Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Grandpa Zhang and thought of the past. His smile almost faded, and he even wanted to turn around and leave.
But he didn't dare.
But he didn't say anything, he just stood there trying to smile.
In the end, it was Grandpa Zhang who couldn't hold back any longer and walked over, trembling, "Xiaoyu... I thought you wouldn't acknowledge me anymore..."
He then looked at Xiao Hai, his emotions running high, "Xiao Hai, call him Grandpa..."
"I'll wait outside until you're done talking." Su Deng was incredibly sensible, but as she brushed past Zhang Xiaoyu, a flash of intense killing intent crossed her eyes.
Su Deng stood outside the door, listening to the crying and laughing in the courtyard, but she couldn't quite make out what they were saying.
In less than ten minutes, Zhang Xiaoyu came out with his wife and children. Behind him, Grandpa Zhang's eyes were red. "Xiaoyu, slow down. Xiaohai often comes to Grandpa's to play."
"Dad, don't see us off. We'll come often in the future," Zhang Xiaoyu stopped him, her tone and expression showing concern.
Grandpa Zhang exclaimed "Oh!" and wiped away tears of joy.
After Zhang Xiaoyu and her family of three left, Grandpa Zhang looked at Su Deng with great gratitude, "Thank you so much, please wait here for me!"
He went back into the house, then quickly came out again and handed Su Deng a black wooden box. "This is a mirror I found. It should be an antique. Consider it my gift to you!"
Players: "???!!!"
"I'm so sorry!" Su Deng said, but took the money without hesitation. "Come to me if you need anything in the future, Grandpa Zhang."
"Good! Good!" Grandpa Zhang watched her leave with tears of gratitude in his eyes.
Su Deng walked all the way down this road, turned a corner, and then opened the box to look inside.
The box contained a mirror, but the patterns carved around it were different from the ones used for identity verification.
[Does the player wish to use the [Eye of the Demon] skill?]
A line of text appeared on the mirror.
Is it a skill item, not a mirror to verify identity?
Su Deng frowned, somewhat disappointed.
But finding it in advance seems like a good thing.
"Antidote!"
Just then, Zhang Xiaoyu's voice rang out.
Su Deng looked up at the family of three, blinked innocently, and said, "Sorry, I fed him candy, not poison."
