The real and the unreal are surging together in my mind, like two tides of different colors, sweeping up the stormy waves, and then blending together when the waves are lapped, making it impossible to distinguish the previous colors, which one is real and which is fake.

Jack thought back to the video he had seen of 4., the words he had asked Si Yan in that simulated scene, and the answers he imagined her to have.

Finally, he pulled out of his chaotic thoughts, looked at Si Yan, and asked, "I can save him." ”

Si Yan's crying paused for a moment, looked at him with a little joy, and said while wiping her tears: "Really? ”

"Hmm." Jack nodded, "But you...... It is possible to lose another person in the game, are you sure you have to choose to save him? ”

The other game characters quickly went through Si Yan's mind. To be fair, she doesn't change her decision about the life and death of others, but at this moment, it seems that selfishness has the upper hand.

"No one is more important than him!" Si Yan said resolutely, "No one ...... I just want him to live! ”

In the snap of her fingers, her words swept through Jack's heart like a thin and sharp blade through the wind, with a piercing coldness.

He felt empty in his chest, as if all his strength had been taken away by this thin knife, but he was not weak enough to fall.

He smiled mutely.

In that simulated scene, he was delighted to hear "Si Yan" say to him in horror: "He is not as important as you, I want you to stay!" ”

As soon as this sentence fell, the system alarmed, saying that his autonomous emotions affected the normal direction of the plot, and the simulation was terminated.

At that time, he guessed that when this day came, Si Yan would choose Qi Guanyi. But he didn't expect that hearing this sentence with his own ears would still be so difficult to accept.

Though...... She didn't really realize that she was choosing between him and Qi Guanyi, but ......

"No one is more important than him, I just want him to live."

This sentence is so cold.

"I'll help you." After a long time, Jack spoke flatly, without showing any emotion.

Then he even smiled a little, stopped looking at her, and clicked the panel casually as usual.

A panel that Si Yan had never seen before appeared in the air, without any decoration on the interface, and no pictures could be seen. It's just a simple blue box with a black background and white characters on the black background.

Those characters are densely packed, with English, numbers, and some symbols.

Si Yan looked at it in a daze, although she couldn't understand it, she remembered the picture of a programmer writing a program in reality.

When Si Yan was stunned, the system that was hovering above like the wind whistled: "Are you crazy!" ”

Jack ignored it, chuckling through the code until he found the part he had just walked out of.

He had done something similar for her a long time ago. At that time, if she just followed the regular plot, the next link would make her unhappy, so he fixed it.

But that's just a small plot. Neither triggered any auto-protection nor caught her attention, which she didn't know about to this day.

Now this link, she at least knows it. He saved Qi Guanyi, he did her a great favor, she should be grateful to him, right?

At least...... She'll remember him.

Jack's thoughts were like a river overturning, but the fingers tapping on the virtual keyboard in front of him never stopped, he calmly wrote line by line, and the wind above his head became more and more intense.

"Stop!" The system roared, "You stupid coward! Stop it! ”

The wind set off a gust of wind and sand, Si Yan was fascinated, and after relieving herself, she couldn't help but look up.

But seeing that the phantom seemed to have endless anger, it circled again and then slammed into Jack!

But when he heard the sound of a "bell", there seemed to be a transparent cover above Jack's head, isolating him from the outside.

"You're not as strong as you think." Jack looked up at it as well, and smiled a little happily, "And humans have a word for it, and it's called a shipwreck." ”

"Shipwreck?" Si Yan was obviously stunned, she looked at Jack, Jack shrugged and smiled: "It's nothing, anyway, I have changed the program, it doesn't hurt to change a little more." ”

In other words, that air hood was written by him?

Si Yan felt wonderful, Jack's finger clicked, and pressed "Confirm Modification".

"Ahem...... cough suddenly sounded in Si Yan's arms, and she looked down to see that Qi Guanyi, who had just lost her breath, had woken up.

"Draw your sword." Jack said to Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan was stunned by everything in front of him, and when he heard the words, he was stunned again before he responded with an "oh", and the hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened, and he struggled to pull out the sword.

With a "thud", blood splattered. The next moment, Si Yan watched in amazement as the wound on Qi Guanyi's chest healed quickly, and then, even her hand, which was directly holding the blade of the sword in a hurry, quickly disappeared.

"Qi Guanyi......" She was so happy that her voice trembled, but as soon as she called, there was a sudden alarm around her!

"Ding Ding Ding - Alarm, Alarm ......" The alarm sounded coldly, "NPC operation is overstepping its authority, which may cause harm to players, the automatic recovery system has been activated, please avoid it!" NPC operation is overstepping, which may cause harm to players, the automatic recycling system has been activated, please avoid ......"

"What?!" Si Yanxing's eyes widened, she looked at Jack in amazement, Jack was a stone's throw away, looking at her with a smile.

"Jack......" she suddenly realized what Jack meant by the sentence he had just asked her, "No! ”

A black vortex appeared behind Jack, and in Si Yan's terror, the vortex began to expand gradually. And Jack didn't look at it, his eyes only stopped at her: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be selfish." ”

“jack！” Si Yan hurriedly stood up, and Qi Guanyi, who was recovering her strength, also stood up. Together with Wei Xuan and Tong Rui, several people rushed over at the same time to push Jack away from the whirlpool.

But when I heard the "bell" again, a wall of air blocked everyone's way.

Jack looked at them over there, sighed and smiled, "You can't save me, just listen to me." ”

"Jack you ......"

"I already knew how to solve the problem of the system, but I had selfish intentions, and I didn't want you to quit the game, so I didn't tell you." Jack □□ his hands into his pockets, his eyes hanging very idlely. His good-looking eyelashes fluttered slightly, covering up the rare brilliance in his gray-blue eyes, "Actually, I just need to let you contact the production team...... But I'm worried that the production team will ask you to quit the game to be safe when they learn about this issue. ”

He said, "I just want you to stay." ”

"I'll stay!" Si Yan patted the air wall, "I'm not going anywhere, I don't want to go back to being a vegetative person!" Come out, we can handle this crisis! ”

"You mean this crisis?" Jack said in a playful tone, raised his hand and pointed to the whirlpool behind him with his thumb, and pouted lightly, "Ell, this crisis is really beyond everyone's scope to deal with, and the **oss above his head can't solve it." ”

“jack！”

"So you'd better listen to me."

"Jack......" Si Yan was devastated by his calmness, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at her: "You listen to me." ”

The smile in his eyes slammed her.

Then he just put his pockets in his pockets and walked in front of her. The light brown hair was shiny and warm and elegant, but it couldn't moisten the emotions in his eyes.

He walked so close to her, so close that he was separated from her by a wall of air. He looked at her for a while, and then put his hand on her hand on the air wall, Si Yan was stunned for a moment, as if he could feel the temperature in his palm through the air wall.

"Oh, that's a delusion." Jack pursed his lips and smiled, and as she met his gaze in a panic, he said leisurely, "It's interesting to be able to read your mind." ”

"Jack......" Si Yan cried, looked at him and shook her head, "Don't go, I'll contact the production team...... You can tell them I'm going to stay, and I'm going to let you stay. ”

"Then they must be more inclined to take you out of the game." Jack's index finger brushed the contours of her cheek through the wall of air, "Please stay, so that my days of being sealed in the dark will be better." ”

Si Yan covered her mouth, still crying uncontrollably. She felt that if she was given another chance, she would still choose to save Qi Guanyi, but at the moment, she couldn't help hating herself for making the choice just now!

She never thought Jack would leave, and Jack has been there since he entered the game......

As soon as she pressed the button, he would walk out gracefully and confidently help her solve various problems.

The only time she was summoned and didn't come out was when she went to kiss him, when he was restricted from permission. But even that time, he still trekked through mountains and rivers to find her and returned to the capital with her.

Now, he suddenly wants to say goodbye to her.

"Jack, don't go......" Si Yan shook her head desperately, tears crackling and splashing into the dirt on the ground, splashing dark circles.

He only looked at her with a smile, looked at her for a long time, and his thin lips suddenly relaxed: "Si Yan." ”

She looked at him with a sob.

And he said, "I like you." ”

This sentence is like a thunderclap falling from the sky. Si Yan froze, looked at him in disbelief, and heard the alarm sound again: "Alarm, alarm!" NPC emotional development overstepping the authority ......"

Jack chuckled at the noise of the siren, "I'm glad I had the opportunity to tell me." ”

"By the way, there's a gift for you." He ordered something out of the panel, and before he could show it to her, he felt a huge suction force coming from behind him.

“umm…… It seems that it is too late to introduce. He laughed to himself, and then looked at Qi Guanyi, "Take care of her—that's it, it doesn't seem like I need to tell you." ”

The black whirlpool was big enough, so big that it was more than his height at the top, and it was approaching him little by little.

Si Yan cried until she lost her strength, and she slammed her hand against the wall of air in front of her again, but Jack just smiled peacefully......

Then there was a "smack", and he disappeared all at once.

It was only a brief moment before the black vortex vanished. The surroundings are so clean that it looks like nothing has happened, and the people who have disappeared seem to have never existed.

"Jack......" Si Yan looked in a trance, took two steps back, and sat down with a soft slump.

On the other side of the air wall, the gift from Jack fell to the ground and rolled to her side, letting her know that the air wall was gone.

And the person who set it up, along with the disappeared.

It was a round wooden barrel, and Si Yan pulled out the lid and saw four brushes neatly lined up inside. The white rod and bristles are white, and the metal part that connects the rod and the bristles is a beautiful gold.

She was hit hard in the chest, and she cried out again, and Qi Guanyi squatted down and hugged her: "Ayan! ”

"He remembers......" Si Yan's voice became hoarse from crying. She stared at the brushes in front of her, tears quickly turning them into a white blob.

She couldn't remember how long it had been, but she had been in the game for a long time before she finally got a makeup brush.

She was overjoyed at the time, and Jack apparently read her euphoria, casually saying "So you like to use a brush?" I'm going to do my best to get you a good one. ”

Although there are only four of them, the name displayed on the control panel is [Tomford 2016 Christmas Limited Edition Brush], which is simple and luxurious, which is completely in line with her aesthetic.

She never knew that Jack cared so much about her, but that all his care for her was as he said it was his duty as a personal NPC...... I didn't even think he liked her.

She has been subconsciously separating him from this world for no reason, always feeling that he is different from Qi Guanyi, ignoring his personal feelings.

Naturally, she didn't think that he liked her.

And he, probably because he was not allowed to have an emotional relationship in the program, persuaded her to relax and open the emotional line in such a calm or joking tone again and again, and pushed her forward.

In retrospect, it was all so brutal.

And he wants her to stay in this world...... He didn't seem to care about the cruelty, at least half of it was brought by her.

He's so good, so good that she can't handle it.

Si Yan raised her hand to wipe her tears, and her hand was propped up on the ground, trying to stand up.

Qi Guanyi hurriedly helped her, but she still couldn't use her strength, so she could only sit in a relatively comfortable position with his strength.

Then, she clicked on the main panel.

"No !!" The systems swirling in the sky screamed and rushed down again, but the air shield above their heads was still there.

Si Yan glanced at it indifferently and pressed the inconspicuous blue button on the panel: Contact us. 166 Reading Network
