CH 158

Xiao Lan put the 99 cigarettes in the storage space and was about to leave.

At this point, he happened to overhear the discussion of other players by the shelves.

"The guy who slaughtered all his teammates in the novice arena is through again, for the third time this month, right?"

"Mamma yea, what's going to happen ......"

"That's not all, I heard that there was an unlucky man in the junior field who just came out but was immediately pulled in, and then that man never came out, and by the looks of things, most likely died."

"What about the intermediate field?"

"Intermediate fields are not available at the moment, but it's impossible to say what will happen later."

"Have the rules of the game changed? How come they didn't send us a hint either ......"

"What is the Advent World thinking? Is it to make us kill each other?"

"Alas ...... live one day at a time ......"

"Damn, I'm going to the Love Love Hotel for fun!!! It's not a bad way to die!!!"

"Just you? Don't get busy, who's looking at that."

"I pooh, I'm handsome, okay?!"

The player who spoke faded away.

Xiao Lan, however, frowned.

The Advent World, or the One who controls everything, is quietly changing the rules.

Now it's the novice and junior fields, what will ripple out later?

The invisible net that hangs over the player's head seems to be gradually closing in.

Xiao Lan went back to his room and talked to Luo about the incident.

Luo's expression was also somewhat strained, "He's recovering far faster than I am ......"

That's terrible news.

In the following days, Xiao Lan went to the training ground more often.

Luo is also often missing, collecting pieces of himself in various ways.

They both tacitly refrain from mentioning their concerns about the future, yet in their own way they continue to strengthen themselves.

One day, Xiao Lan finished training as usual.

On the way back, the atmosphere around us was noticeably more tense.

There was more panic among the passers-by than before, and a noticeable increase in the number of people gathering in small groups to discuss the situation.

It's only natural that players would inevitably feel uneasy in the face of the sudden change in the Advent world.

Xiao Lan moves along at a brisk pace, not paying much attention to the occasional conversation or complaint between players.

"Damn, that crazy man named Wang is going too far! It's like a blatant robbery!"

"Crazy guy named Wang? Who is it, Wang Ke? Isn't he dead?"

"Who told you about Wang Ke? It's his brother, the scum."

" Wang Taidi ......? Not so much hahaha, isn't that a weakling who stayed at beginner for three years and has only been intermediate for a short while now?"

Xiao Lan's footsteps stop and he pauses.

He couldn't help but look over at the two players who were talking, who were chatting to themselves and had no intention of covering up.

Seeing that the two men did not notice them, Xiao Lan found a secluded position and began to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Still think of him as a weakling? You'll know when you face him yourself, that guy is really scary now."

"It's not, is it? How?"

"When I met him, he just appeared directly in front of me and told me to choose 'die, or leave the three props'."

"So arrogant? You didn't clean him up, did you?"

"I'm not scared, of course I'm not going to wimp out like that, I wanted to teach him a lesson right then and there ......"

"As a result, I couldn't move at all, not even a finger, and not only could I not move but I felt like I was slowly suffocating. It's that feeling of being thrown into a sealed space and waiting to die, you know?"

"Hiss ...... this too ...... this man is really Wang Taidi ?"

"Heh, really. I couldn't resist anyway, let him pick three props and be done with it. I have a feeling he might not be an intermediate player anymore, and intermediate players don't have that kind of battle power."

"Could it be that after his brother's death, this guy took the scrappy rise to power route?"

"It's hard to say, you don't know, he was just laughing and watching me choke a little bit, laughing so hard I got chills in my heart. I think he was really daring to kill someone, it felt like this guy was just meaner than Wang Ke."

"Won't it be bad for those guys who see Wang Ke dead and fall on his sword? It's a good thing I didn't offend him before."

"I haven't offended either, but I don't see him letting me off the hook either ......"

"Think positive, at least you're still alive, those guys aren't so sure."

"I can't thank you enough Nei!"

Xiao Lan had mixed feelings for a while.

The once warm and cheerful teenager was still swallowed up by the Advent world.

This might be better for the brothers and make it easier for them to see the hope of living.

But Xiao Lan can't help wondering what their lives would have been like if they hadn't descended into the world.

Perhaps Wang Ke will be busy and struggling to pay for her brother's education while studying and working.

Then they would each find a mundane but secure job with a lot of chicken scratch.

Wang Taidi still likes to tear her brother down and then repent under the iron fist of Wang Ke's love, and every day is a happy but warm one.

However, there is no going back.

Not only the Wang family brothers, but many others as well, Qi Ning, Wu Ting, Cheng Wenyi, Zhao Xiaohe, Di Yifugui, the Hua family brothers ...... and even the Xiao Lan family.

They are all forced to change their original lives and take a path of no return that leads to nine deaths.

Xiao Lan took out [Plastic Friendship] to try to contact Wang Taidi, but eventually put it down.

Wang Taidi has chosen his own path and it is not his place to interfere with the other side.

--

Luo has spent this time trying to invade some of the weaker barriers of the lower and mid-level playgrounds, to find and devour pieces of himself.

He understood that the Master would not tolerate his recovery, and that when he had recovered to a certain extent, he would be sensed by the Master.

At that time, there was destined to be another great battle between them.

Even his presence is a great hidden danger for Xiao Lan.

Perhaps, one day, he will need to leave Xiao Lan in order to protect the other.

But now he just wants this day to come a little later, so that he can be with Xiao Lan for one more minute.

Lately, however, the two have hardly seen each other as Luo is always away and Xiao Lan is in the training ground.

Although Luo feels sorry, there is nothing he can do about it.

This time, however, Luo returned to the room and saw Xiao Lan sitting on the sofa.

It looks like Xiao Lan was waiting for him specifically.

Luo walked over to Xiao Lan and adjusted his smile, "Can I help you, sir?"

Xiao Lan looked up, a solemn look on his face, " Luo, carry on with what you were doing before."

"This time, I'll stand by your side."

Whatever the complexities of Xiao Chengyan's father, he was absolutely right about one thing - the rebellion against the advent of the world.

No one, for that matter, should be a victim in the Lord's experiment.

It is the dignity and pride of being human.

Luo was slightly stunned to hear Xiao Lan's words.

It seemed a long time before he spoke slowly, "You know ...... what happened to the last person who worked with me."

It was something he never said, the guilt he felt for his collaborators.

He failed them in their trust and sacrifice before he let their lives fade away to nothing.

This time, he originally wanted to travel alone only.

Xiao Lan said, "I am still weak compared to the Advent world. But there are many seeds of resistance in the players, they are always there and growing, whether it's me, Wang Taidi, Qi Ning, Reincarnation, or those advanced players who don't want to contract, one day they will grow into a force strong enough to break the shackles."

"Then, let's fight together."

Xiao Lan looks intently at Luo and waits for a reply.

Luo, however, lapsed into a long silence.

Xiao Lan smiled up at him, "This time, we know more, will we ever be the same?"

The next moment, Xiao Lan felt herself in a warm embrace.

Luo teleported directly in front of him and reached out his arms to embrace him.

Luo said softly, "No, absolutely not."

Luo felt his dark shadows tossing and screaming with the joy of having found a treasure.

Whoever wants to hurt him must never do so.

Then came a hard, deep kiss.

It is as if all the unspeakable depths of love and persistence have been united, like a deep sea that almost makes one drown in it.

The sudden kiss took Xiao Lan by surprise, but it did not make him want to refuse.

He felt his blood boil all over his body, and Xiao Lan reached out and put his arm around the other man's shoulders, as if to match, as if to encourage.

Having received Xiao Lan's message, Luo's movements became violent.

Xiao Lan was slightly out of breath when the kiss ended.

Luo reached out and brushed his hand against Xiao Lan's slightly flushed lips, he had somehow lifted the black shadow that had turned into a glove and his burning fingertips slowly touched Xiao Lan's lips, bringing a strange sensation.

Xiao Lan's face suddenly feels a little hot.

Obviously it was fine when we kissed before, but this touching ...... is really a bit foul ......

Luo's finger still rested on Xiao Lan's lips, "Sir, will you let me stay with you forever?"

Xiao Lan was stunned, was this a confession on ......?

Luo gazed deeply into Xiao Lan's eyes: "For better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, I will love and cherish you until the end of all things."

Xiao Lan: "......"

Wait a minute, this seems to be the wedding vows!

Aren't we still at the confession step? Isn't it moving a little too fast ！！！！

Luo gave a confusing smile, "Want to back out, sir?"

Xiao Lan thought for a moment and shook his head, "Uh ...... nor ......"

His pale golden eyes shone brightly as Luo moved closer to Xiao Lan's ear, his low voice sounding like a demonic whisper: "Now, you have no chance to regret."

--

The two are now officially together.

For the most part, Xiao Lan still spends his days dying in the training ground.

Occasionally, he will also contact Wang Taidi.

The young man's profile grew and became somewhat angular, and although he was always smiling, his temperament metamorphosed and sharpened with the naked eye.

Then every now and then Luo and I take time to come back to reality and relax a little.

Take a look at the battle for the vegetable garden between Master Zhang and Tie Hanhan next door and applaud both sides for their perseverance.

Xiao Lan feels as if her life has not changed much from what it was before.

Except that ...... Luo sometimes looked at him like he was staring at a plate of delicious food, so obsessive that it was almost green, and it made him feel furtive inside.

What's wrong with him?

Xiao-Mother-born single bent-boy-arashi emits a doubt from her soul.

Love and cherish you in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, until death - The Bible, with some changes in the text.
