Chapter 121. Girl's Night Talk

"Pfft-ah!"

The person who rushed out of the water was Apple Pie.

Evelyn was shocked. She hurried forward and pulled her out.

The stinky seal pounced into the dark elf's arms as soon as she came out of the water. She rubbed her head on Evelyn's chest and glanced at Char.

Unfortunately, her wish to bathe in the sun was not fulfilled, as Char's attention was all on the thing tied to her waist.

A long rope was tied around her waist, and the other end was still in the water.

It seemed connected to a coffin.

Even if she was a player with dozens of times more attribute points than ordinary people, she couldn't drag a coffin from outside of Greenland alive. The bottom of this "coffin" was made of two enchanted wooden boards with the attributes of [Underwater Adaptation] and [Flying Fish], which could float in the water with very little resistance and would hardly affect her. It should have been used for building ships.

Char pulled out the coffin and opened the wooden lid, revealing a large sword that could not be stored.

[Eye of the abyss]

When Apple Pie said that she had taken this sword, he didn't believe it, but now he did.

She was really like a seal. She could get whatever she wanted.

"Bigwig, I brought you this thing. Are you happy?"

"Yep, that's enough. You can go back now. The local Wizard Tower has a teleportation portal. You have the money to pay for the journey."

Char carried the coffin and was about to leave.

"Hey, hey! You're being heartless!"

"This is called 'When the rabbit dies, the dog will die!'"

"I mean the same thing!"

The stinky seal dragged the dark elf in front of him and said, "I'm going to stay with big sis Evelyn tonight. She's already agreed to it!"

Eh?

Again?

"What do you mean?" Char's eyebrows shot up.

[You're not accompanying me!]

A private message accompanied by a stinky seal's gaze was sent over.

"What do you think I mean?" She said half coquettishly and half angrily.

Was she really addicted and wanted to force her way in?

Char looked at Evelyn. The latter was affectionately stroking Apple Pie's wet hair. When she noticed his gaze, her expression was somewhat helpless.

Alright, it seemed like he had no other way.

Char threw the room key to Evelyn and carried the coffin towards the House of the Pelican. He disappeared into the night in a few steps.

Apple Pie looked in the direction he left, her eyes thoughtful.

...

It was midnight.

In a villa district in Mirage City, a rustling sound came from a bedroom on the second floor.

After a while, the sound gradually died down, and the door was gently pushed open.

An Xiaoguo, also known as Apple Pie, stuck her head out to look around. After ensuring her family was asleep, she sneaked into the bathroom with a blanket.

Her figure was as ghostly as the thief in [Fantasy world]. Her steps were light, and even her breathing was so suppressed that it was hard to detect.

In her ears, the only sound in the world was the air flowing and her rhythmic heartbeat.

She took off all her clothes in the bathroom, leaving her body exposed to the air, and then threw her clothes and blanket into the washing machine.

Her firm skin reflected a delicate luster under the moonlight through the window, as beautiful as a gem. The unrestrained feeling made her feel comfortable and free as if she had entered invisibility mode in the game.

Lowering her head, An Xiaoguo noticed that the washing machine had an additional "silent mode."

She poked it with her finger, but there was no reaction. She activated it.

But in the end, there was no sound at all!

Eh?

She stood there and listened for a while more. After making sure it was indeed silent mode, she rubbed her hair and sneaked back.

However, she did not return to her room.

It was Fu Xiaole's room, which was Rylai's.

Rylai's room was locked. An Xiaoguo stood outside the door and hesitated for a few seconds, frowning as she did not know what to do.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration. As if she was making a last resort in a desperate situation, she put her hand on it and said in a low voice, "[Unlock]!"

There was a light crack.

The f*ck?

Holy shit!

An Xiaoguo was stunned!

But the next second, the door was pulled open. Behind the door was a sleepy Rylai. When she saw An Xiaoguo naked, her eyes immediately widened!

"Ah, Guoguo, you..."

"Shh!"

An Xiaoguo quickly covered Rylai's mouth and immediately leaned forward, pressing Rylai to the ground like a leopard. Her movements were so smooth that she didn't even expect it, as if she had done it subconsciously.

That's right. It seemed to be a skill from the game!

She forgot what it was called!

"Guoguo, why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Rylai asked weakly.

"Isn't it enough to wear during the day? Of course, it's more suitable to run naked at night! No one's watching anyway!"

She scratched Rylai's waist and armpits, making her giggle.

"O-okay, stop it... Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Hearing her question, An Xiaoguo's expression became grim, unlike her usual self.

"Fufu, don't you think there's something strange about Bigwig?"

"Ah? Char?" Rylai asked in surprise.

"Yeah. Isn't he a little too...?"

An Xiaoguo couldn't think of a suitable word to describe Char.

"Too skilled?" Rylai asked.

"No," An Xiaoguo said, "Not skilled. He's just strange. I can't describe how strange it is."

"Put on your clothes first. You'll catch a cold like this."

"I won't! I want to sleep with you. I don't care!"

"Alright..."

Rylai had no choice but to close the gaming chamber and lay out the blanket. The two girls got in.

"Were you going to the toilet just now? Why did you suddenly open the door? You didn't log off when I logged off," An Xiaoguo asked, hugging her.

"I just finished an experiment, a strange experiment. I wanted to talk to you, but you came to me directly." Rylai didn't want to say more and changed the topic. "Where were you just now? Bigwig's strange. What's strange about him?"

"I...!"

An Xiaoguo immediately became quiet.

What should she say?

Huangfu Shou had complained in the upper management group of [Ghost Hunter] that he and his girlfriend were separated and couldn't even make love in the game. It was worthy of being a game for all ages. No wonder it passed the review.

When An Xiaoguo heard this, she was shocked!

In the game, she had...

She hurriedly went to the forum to check the content about favorability, only to find that no one was interested in this section. At the beginning of the game, someone had specifically chosen good-looking NPCs. In the end, they tried their best to increase their favorability to become good friends, but it was limited to actions such as traveling or riding together. There was not even a single scene of welfare. One or two people with impure intentions were struck by lightning and turned into ashes the moment they reached out their hands.

After that, she went to deliver the 'Eye of the Abyss' to Char, and a few minutes ago, she was whipped offline by Evelyn.

Was it them who had a problem, or was it Char?

The result was self-evident!

After thinking about it, she could only say with little confidence, "Didn't you notice that he has never gone offline before?"

"Many professional players and clubs are like this too."

"B-but he knows way too much. It's as if he's peeked at the internal data or come back from the future!"

Rylai didn't say anything this time. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Guoguo, have you ever been to the washing room?"

"Eh? I just came back from there. What's wrong?"

"The washing machine's 'silent mode.' I made it," she said.

An Xiaoguo suddenly froze.

"You... Did you make it? What do you mean?"

"You've seen it before. It's an ordinary [Soundproof Scroll], a piece of paper with a special circuit. I've been thinking if I can make it with something similar to the materials in the real world."

"And the result?"

An Xiaoguo's voice was a little hoarse. For some reason, she felt that her mouth was dry.

Although what Rylai said was not the same as what she had discovered, she had a faint feeling they could link them together and make sense of it.

"I just want to see the results..." Rylai said in a low voice. "I wrote 'silent mode' on the cover with a marker pen and hid the 'scroll' in the drum. When you start the washing machine, the water will tear the paper apart. Isn't that the way to use the scroll? I want to try it out tonight... "

"You've succeeded!"

"Eh? What?"

"I said, you've succeeded!"

An Xiaoguo's voice was trembling.

"I just came back from the washing room. It really doesn't make any sound, not a single sound!"

Even though these unusual occurrences had always been there, she had just realized it.

However, when this consciousness was repeatedly confirmed, she was so excited that she couldn't suppress it. Her body also trembled involuntarily.

Oh my god, what game is this?

Just as she was getting excited, she realized that Rylai was holding her hand tightly.

"What's wrong, Fufu?"

"I'm scared, Guoguo..."

"Why? What's there to be afraid of? Oh, right. Why didn't anyone else discover it but you? Fufu is the best!"

"No... These don't exist in the past. That's what I'm afraid of..."

"What?"

"Char gave them to me. The game is incomplete, and some key details are missing, but what he told me has been completed, which is the key to the success of this experiment. The information seems to be encrypted and recorded strangely."

"Him again..." An Xiaoguo muttered, but she suddenly calmed down.

"But isn't it fine this way?"

"Eh?"

"He's the problem," She consoled. "It's easy to solve it. It won't be a mess. We merely have to bring the problem to him. If it doesn't work online, you can do it offline! He couldn't escape, and this was interesting, wasn't it? Life was so boring now! Fufu, since you're so powerful, can you make me an Esper suit? It would be best if it had wings that could fly. Angelic! Every night, we could go out to fight for justice! How cool!"

Rylai chuckled.

"Guoguo, it's not as scary as you think it is. Only a small number of things can be made right now, and most materials can't be replaced. Only the fiber material is similar, so the 'scroll' is feasible. And because of the ink, the effect is weak. For example, the reduced sound in the bathroom is only 60-70 decibels."

"Alright, I feel sleepy when you talk about this. Let's talk about something else, okay? For example, how should I tell this to Bigwig...?"

At the mention of Char, both of them fell silent.

Rylai finally broke the silence.

"Guoguo, I don't think we should look for him yet."

"Why?"

"Have you ever thought that he won't go offline?"

An Xiaoguo's body shook.

"It's like a painting," Rylai continued. "We're outside the painting, and he's inside."

"Don't say anymore, Fufu. I'm afraid..."

Rylai couldn't help but laugh. She stroked An Xiaoguo's hair and said, "Guoguo, what are you afraid of? You were the one who said it'll be fine." Her face was slightly red as she mumbled, "And... And you've been in contact with Char more than I have. You know him better."

Hearing her words, An Xiaoguo's confidence was restored, and she was suddenly full of energy.

"That's right! I'm not afraid anymore! So what if Bigwig was a ghost living in a painting? I'll turn him into a human! Then, would he have to reincarnate as a handsome man to repay the favor? What a great otome game! And then..."

"Guoguo, be more serious!"

"Oh..." An Xiaoguo wiped away her drool.

"You're right, Fufu. If he thinks we're probing too far, he'll definitely delete us from his friend list without hesitation. Then, we might never find him again. Bigwig doesn't even look like he's been on the forum. I have to find a way to investigate. First, I must find out what game company the [Illusion workshop] is."

The two discussed these issues for a while more and then reached a consensus. The rock in their hearts was finally lifted.

After they relaxed, it was the girls' turn to whisper about their worries. They were guessing about the game's content and trying to figure out Char's identity. The girl's imagination was getting wilder, and it was the same in their dreams.
