Chapter 166: Western Fantasy 30 "Walking on the Tightrope"
"Lu——" Jon struggled to wake up from the nightmare.
I opened my eyes and saw the dazzling chandelier hovering overhead, stimulating me to the point where tears welled up in my eyes. The feeling of having my sluggish senses forced to activate wasn't pleasant.
All around was white.
Also... the smell of disinfectant was strong, and there were some strangers standing around.
"Where is this?"
Jon lay in a daze on his hospital bed, unaware of the day or night. Only the stabbing pain from the IV drip in his raised hand reminded him of his own existence.
A completely different scene...
So he has returned to his original world?
"Are you awake? This is K City First Hospital.
Didn’t this sleep feel like a lifetime ago? "
A completely unfamiliar voice sounded beside his ear, and Jon looked up vigilantly.
"You've been in a coma for over a month."
A man of medium height was looking at him with a smile.
The man had his hair combed back neatly, and it seemed to have been sprayed with hairspray, making his hair look neat and orderly.
Jon was stunned. He had been in the game for more than two years, but only a short time had passed in reality?
Moreover, he felt that he did not know the person in front of him, but the other party knew him very well.
Jon was not prepared to come back like this, everything happened completely unexpectedly.
He came back just like that? What about his body in that world, and... Lu Huai who was imprisoned?
Not even a proper goodbye.
The more he looked at her, the more he instinctively felt that she looked familiar. However, Jon was now in a splitting headache. In his confused and dazed state, he couldn't figure out her identity for a while.
Xiang Anhua, as if he could read his mind, introduced himself accordingly: "I'm one of the main creators of this game, Xiang Anhua."
“You may have seen me in the newspaper or on the website.”
"Huh, game? You still remember me."
"I have a lot of questions that need explanations. For example, why am I the only one stranded in that world and unable to come back..." Jon was reminded, and new and old grudges surged in his heart. While asking in a bad mood, he struggled to stand up from the bed.
The burly bodyguards nearby rushed over and quickly controlled him together with the nurse.
The force was so strong that Jon almost forgot what it felt like to have a weak body, but now he had picked it up again.
"Hush—Jon, or Mr. Su Qiao, please don't worry. We will definitely take responsibility for the losses caused during this period.
The company will cover your medical and nutritional expenses during this period. In addition, you will receive satisfactory compensation for lost work and mental distress."
"I know you have many questions. As the only person stranded due to the malfunction, your experience is invaluable to us. In exchange, you also have the right to receive answers."
"exchange?"
It's clearly the game company's responsibility, but it sounds like they're both responsible.
Jon frowned, he didn't like that word.
"Ask us whatever you want, and we'll tell you everything we know."
---------------------------
Lu Huai and 0359, who were far away in another dimension, were imprisoned and bored.
Every time I wanted to check on Jon's situation, all I got was a gray sky.
Then, a red warning message "No Signal" popped up in front of him. No matter how he pressed the button, there was no response. 0359 turned off the channel angrily, yelling, "This is a piece of crap!"
Lu Huai could also understand it, after all, according to the nature of the Samsara Company, it was very stingy.
Even if you condescend to upgrade, you can occasionally open up some perspectives that were not available before.
It is normal to be a failure in such a high-dimensional world where risk avoidance is required.
Alas, how is this different from being isolated and helpless before?
Just a habitual victim...
Why am I spitting out black mud unconsciously again?
Lu Huai was annoyed by his resentful husband's thoughts and laughed, "It's okay."
"Huh, Huaihuai, you are just too nice."
"This crappy company is as stingy as ever. They won't even give you a good cheat after the upgrade."
0359 flipped through the stored videos, some of which hadn't yet been loaded, and its heart was bleeding:
"It's just that one of the pillars is gone from this world. The God of Light is still here, and the passage is still open. Are you so stingy that you can't even watch the three series I downloaded?"
"Ahhh, Huaihuai, you can't go out, and I can't watch my drama either. Our lives are so miserable!
Humph, if I get the chance to go back, I’ll publish an article titled “The Domineering System Loves Me Hard, the Delicate Lord God Runs Away with the Ball” and give Him a good beating…”
"Shh!" Lu Huai raised his left index finger and put it on his lips.
His right hand kept moving, pulling the hair on top of 0359's head over and over again, severely destroying the "high skull" that it had carefully built when it was bored. The squirrel was so hot that it looked at him with its eyes as round as black beans.
"Have you forgotten the truth that trouble comes from the mouth?"
Lu Huai gave it a slap on the face: "Be careful or you'll be punished to turn off the language function again. That would make me even more bored."
"Well, I was wrong to offend Huaihuai." 0359 lowered his guiltily head.
A man and a woman were playing and joking in the space, but at this moment there was a disappointing "click" sound, and it seemed that someone outside was pushing open the door.
Lu Huai quickly returned to his body, but the person who came was not the sanctimonious hypocrite with golden hair as he had imagined, but a young nun whom he had never seen before.
Huh? Why isn't Sean delivering food today?
"Your Majesty, this is today's meal."
The food delivery wasn't limited to the door anymore? Was it Amodia's order to come in directly? Lu Huai was a little surprised.
The nun seemed to be frightened by her own disrespectful behavior, and her voice was weak and trembling.
"You, you haven't eaten for two meals. His Holiness the Pope asked me to come and counsel you."
Is he really that scary? Lu Huai smiled bitterly.
"I knocked on the door several times, but you didn't respond. I was a little scared, so I pushed the door on my own initiative. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
It turns out that it was Amodia who did this...
Lu Huaidao knew it wasn't easy for her either, so he didn't make things difficult for her. Instead, he stepped forward and took the exquisite basket.
"It's okay, thank you for your concern."
"My appetite has been a little low lately. Just give me something to eat, and I'll try my best to eat." The handsome and polite young man gave the nun a warm smile and made a promise.
The nun was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed to him in gratitude and walked out of the room.
Lu Huai took the meal and sat back on the round stool. He wondered if there was a newcomer in the temple, otherwise how could he not recognize who it was.
But he was shocked to find that he had forgotten what the nun looked like.
Lu Huai smiled bitterly: "Could it be that I've been isolated from the world for too long? My memory is really getting worse and worse."
However, according to the arrangement that the man made with him before leaving, they should have this meal together.
Thinking of having dinner with Amodia, Lu Huai could only sigh.
Even if, in reality, the situation isn't that bad.
Although Amodia had locked him up, he was actually busy with affairs and didn't spend much time alone with him. Lu Huai had plenty of time to switch perspectives and play with 0359.
What's more, Lu Huai also discovered the weakness of this old virgin who had abstained from sex for a hundred years.
——He seems to care about the emotional connection with him.
He was especially concerned about the title of "teacher" that he himself had given him.
Even though Lu Huai had never properly revered him, he had already seen through his true nature. His Holiness the Pope still displayed his shameless virtue, pretending to be nothing, stealing the fragrance and jade while stubbornly maintaining the dignity of the elder.
Lu Huai also understood that as long as he grasped Amodia's psychology and called him at the critical moment.
The invisible restrictions will become visible. Even if His Holiness the Pope has shown many signals that he can no longer control himself, the last bit of rationality that remains will pull everything back, and many "dangerous" situations will be easily resolved.
Lu Huai's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, could finally settle down, and the trembling feeling of danger would also be alleviated. But in summary, it was still a risky tightrope walk.
Fortunately, Amodia brought good news today.
"I have an inspection this afternoon. Do you want to go with me?"
"Me? Can I?"
Lu Huai stuttered a little. It was a rare opportunity for him to come out and see the bright sunshine, so he wanted to fight for himself.
However, his ugly and despicable true form was completely seen by Amodia. Lu Huai knew that it was a luxury to be alive, so how could he think that he deserved these.
"As long as you are willing." Amodia could not deny it and gently stroked Lu Huai's head.
Lu Huai gradually got used to his approach these days and no longer showed resistance like before.
As obedient as a cute kitten.
Amordia seemed very satisfied with the feel of the hair whorl and Lu Huai's performance:
"It's been a while since I've been out and about, Lu. The people really miss you."
"That's great." Lu Huai nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"But you have to finish your meal first." Amordia lifted his robe and sat down gracefully. "Use this in exchange."
"Okay." Lu Huai was extremely proactive at this moment.
He couldn't help but wonder if his good behavior had finally moved Amodia.
After dinner, I walked happily in the corridor, my eyes carefully scanning everything familiar yet unfamiliar, and a sense of unreality came over me.
Until a man wearing the same sacrificial robe approached from behind and put something that looked like a string of glass beads on his hand, and the position of it made him squint his eyes.
"Are you that happy?"
Amodia asked in a magnetic voice, but Lu Huai obviously didn't appreciate it. He turned his back and almost fell forward into his arms.
The other party seemed to be prepared as well, staring at him with a half-smile, his arms showing an accepting trend.
Even though Lu Huai deliberately avoided her with a twisted gesture, she didn't get annoyed. Instead, she asked, "How does it feel to wear it?"
Amodia smiled, as if he was very satisfied with this coverage. Looking at those snow-white wrists, his eyes were filled with a special kind of heat.
"I don't feel anything." Lu Huai frowned and stepped back. "Don't you know everything?"
That was exactly where the Dark Seal remained. The magic power at both ends did not produce sparks as soon as they came into contact, and only caused a slight itch.
But the last time it appeared, this restriction had probably been discovered. Even though the hidden snake mark remained motionless, Lu Huai couldn't help but feel his heart beating like a drum.
This damn guy must be bullying him on purpose...
He didn't believe that Amodia didn't know that doing this would make a certain god furious.
It just so happened that recently, no one knew what Seno was busy with, so I just kept quiet as he asked.
It's not bad, but he can't guarantee it...
Amodia smiled and changed the subject, saying softly, "Be good and behave yourself. There will be many opportunities like this in the future."
Lu Huai hummed in a depressed tone.
After all, it is the royal city, and the flow of people is very large.
Lu Huai lay by the carriage window, clinging on it like a lazy beauty snake without bones.
It was not until he calculated with his fingers that it was time to show up that he adjusted his posture and sat up straight, looking holy and awe-inspiring.
Biles, who hadn't seen him for a long time, obviously had something to say, but he had been guarding behind him all the way and couldn't find the opportunity. He could only watch helplessly as the sanctimonious Amodia turned around and teased Lu Huai from time to time.
Using the Grand Mage's superb magical skills to do that kind of thing.
He couldn't help but clench his fists.
As soon as he showed up, Lu Huai received a lot of kindness.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Son! You are so kind and beautiful. You are the embodiment of all that is good!"
The people below were shouting, their eyes full of enthusiasm, their words filled with praise for Lu Huai, interrupting his thoughts.
Lu Huai wanted to smile, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be stiff and it was difficult to open them. He also thought that it would look ugly, so he simply didn't try to smile.
However, the citizens were still fascinated by the aloof appearance of His Majesty the Holy Son.
Lu Huai didn't understand why Amodia gave him the opportunity to accept praise even though he knew what kind of person he was.
He inevitably thought ugly things.
Is it to make him addicted to the pleasure brought by this honor?
But he was so torn. At night, Amodia always stood by his bed like a ghost, and no one knew what she was doing.
Lu Huai could feel his desire for her, and it was this unexpected feeling that became his escape ticket to prevent himself from suffering the same fate as those predecessors.
But this is not stable.
Lu Huai knew that he was also waiting for an answer, using his patience to fight against his own reason, waiting for him to willingly fall into this big net of tenderness and sweetness.
And he really became wavering and confused as Amodia wished.
Embarrassed, clutching the hem of his sleeve, biting his lip, he asked himself, "What should I do?"
It had been a long time since Jon had appeared in front of him. Had he really given up on him? If even he had abandoned him, who else could he trust?
Lu Huai's beautiful eyes unconsciously shifted to the blond young man riding a white horse at the front of the team, dealing with people with ease.
He seemed to feel his gaze, and looked back at him with a smile, and then seemed to glance around casually.
Lu Huai's hand tightened, gripping the fabric at his thigh. He touched his hidden side pocket, which contained a small sound-transmitting stone.
It was stuck under the food basket by the nun who delivered the food just now.
