"So it's just the after-effects of overwork, there's nothing to worry about......

"But three years ago, it ......"

"If something happened to me three years ago, can you still find me now? Since I'm standing here right now, doesn't that mean there's no problem? ”

“…… So, then why don't you show up? ”

The freezing rain that still did not stop passed over the heads of the two people sitting on the side wall of the roof with the cold wind in the game, and then fell sporadically on the ruins around the street, and this was also the first picture that a certain Xue Lingphantom Ice who came to look for Duan Qing came here, she frowned slightly when she pressed the hilt of the sword, and finally slowly buried a certain sour feeling in her heart, and then after a period of time, the conversation between the two people was more clearly included in her ears:" …… It's said that I'm not the same person I used to be, and we're almost already people from two worlds, even if we meet again, what's the point? ”

"But the Duan family ......"

"No more."

It seemed that he had also noticed the figure of the woman who was walking up and listening at the moment, Duan Qing interrupted the words softly, and the gentleness on his face gradually retracted, replaced by the usual smile on his face: "In every sense, things in the game will not interfere with reality, anyway, I have also withdrawn from the professional circle, and my current job is just a casual fight, just enjoy life......"

"Isn't it nice that we can meet more often in the game?" He smiled and said, "Mengzhu's little girl yells in her friend's channel every day...... We can do it every day. ”

“…… Are you referring to the thing that the girl told you to go back? ”

There was a slight silence for a while, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who stepped forward, said in a low voice, and his gaze, which had been observing the whispering, slowly moved away with the appearance of this sentence: "When do you plan to go back?" ”

“…… Why, do you want to be a teacher so soon? Duan Qing replied with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth: "If you are in a hurry to return to the Wings of Freedom, I will not stop you, and now they should also retreat to the west of the Starwind Plain, which is also very close to our side......"

"I've never said anything like that."

Slapping away Duan Qing's hand pointing to the west, Xue Lingphantom replied lightly, "I just want to know your future plans, after all, the matter here should have come to an end......"

"Are you talking about the battle, or the mission of the envoy?" Duan Qing patted his forehead: "Although the battle is over for the time being, no one knows if the Restorationist will fight back, and the magic circle of the Molna Star that we faced before doesn't know if it still exists, as for the mission of the envoy...... There is probably no hope, several bigwigs have suffered heavy casualties, and the city lord has been missing for many years, in this miserable state, most of the free cities will not issue any statements and decisions in support of the principality......"

"Judging from the current situation, this trip is really a waste of money." Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I leave like this now, I don't even know what to use to get back to Pamir......"

"The Pamirs probably don't have much time to pay attention to you right now."

It seemed that he had recovered a little from his previous low mood, and Yu Liuyu, who was originally sitting next to Duan Qing, also got up and walked behind him: "Judging from the battle reports in the past few days, Zalaha City on the Ferron Plain is still fighting hotly, and Xifeng County is currently under the control of the restorationists, and even Karon Pass has been attacked one after another......"

"The current principality can be said to be under attack, and reconciliation with the empire can almost be said to be a sure thing." She regained her usual graceful smile, and her tone was full of confidence peculiar to high-ranking women: "What is the situation in Liberty City, they probably don't have much time to take care of now. ”

Or ...... The status quo of Liberty City is an opportunity. On the other side, Xue Lingphantice lowered his head and said, "If we find a suitable contact, we may be able to take advantage of this disaster to persuade them to cooperate with us......

"It's us, not you." Yu Liuyu stared at Xue Ling's face, and slowly shook his head: "Pay attention to your position, the leading professional player of Freedom Wings, not only did you not play any role before, but you were almost regarded as one of the traitors by them......"

“…… What do you say, the second former coach in the world? Xue Ling's eyes immediately turned cold, "If it weren't for the constant entanglement between you and that angry madman, our battle would probably be a lot easier." ”

"But no matter what, the second in the world still helped us finish this battle." Whispering crossed his arms: "At least better than some Wing of Liberty trying to take over the City of Freedom." ”

"But I've been ...... By the side of Moshang Qingshan. The corners of Xue Ling's phantom ice mouth also curled: "I don't know when I fight side by side with him...... Who are you and your teammates entangled with? ”

"Fighting side by side? No kidding. ”

Ignoring Duan Qing's increasingly embarrassed eyes beside him, he let out an arrogant sneer: "I haven't been separated from Qingshan for a long time at all, and I haven't been disconnected in the middle, even if you add up all these trivial times...... Maybe not a few minutes, right? ”

"As self-righteous as I am, nothing has changed what I'm saying anyway." The smile on Xue Ling's phantom ice face became more and more dangerous: "And...... When I say 'around', I'm not just in the game. ”

“…… You said...... What the? ”

"Oops, hey, stop, stop—"

Feeling the hair-wrenching chill between the two women and the direction of the topic that gradually got out of control, Duan Qing hurriedly jumped between the two of them by himself, trying to use his weak body as a shield to prevent the two from attacking each other: "Everyone has been working together for so long, why still quarrel over those side matters, right?" The so-called position, traitor, or something, let them pass away with the wind......"

"No way!"

He was answered by a claw that was enough to penetrate the flesh, and the movement of the whisper to pull him away abruptly: "What did she just say? Is she already with you? ”

"This, that......"

“…… You! ”

The momentary hesitation became Duan Qing's most fatal flaw at this moment, and it also filled the eyes full of tears again, but this time, the meaning contained in these two tears was completely different: "No wonder you keep shirking and refusing to see me!" It turned out to be ...... It turned out to be ......"

Rumble!

The billet under his feet collapsed a little with the blue-haired woman's sudden burst of breath, blowing Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice to the back of the ruins, but the whispers full of anger and sadness did not continue to vent, but turned around and jumped off the high platform there. Duan Qing, who crawled out from behind the wall, shouted twice in the direction that the other party ran away, and finally shook his head with a sigh, and in the movement that gradually fell silent in his ears, Xue Ling's slightly apologetic voice sounded again: "...... Am I saying something wrong? ”

"No, it's not your problem." Duan Qing shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, it's all the truth, there's nothing to say." ”

“…… Why don't you catch up and explain? ”

"She's just emotionally unstable now, and she'll get better after a while."

Looking back at Xue Ling's face, Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and then pointed to the angry figure of a certain chestnut-haired girl who ran over when he heard the sound, and shook his head with a wry smile: "And ......"

"If it's really separated, maybe it's for her...... That's a good thing. ”

**************************

"Damn...... Damn it! ”

The footsteps running in the streets and alleys are still running, and the whispering figure passes through one corner after another, and the unreserved running action because of the fluctuation of emotions has become as fast as a swift afterimage in the eyes of other passers-by: "Say what is the past, what to say about the people of the two worlds, and the result is ...... It turned out that they were all perfunctory to me! Isn't it, isn't it ......?"

Could it be that this time of getting along ...... It's all deception?

Could it be that these days when I haven't shown up all these days is also because of that woman?

Could it be those times three years ago...... Is it really just a scene from his youth?

Could he ......

Do you really not love me?

"Whew, Whew......"

The running figure finally stopped in a corner of the ruins, and at the same time there was a woman's peculiar wheezing sound, but as the wheezing gradually stopped, the poor woman's thoughts became more and more chaotic: "Woo......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

As if it were a continuation of her previous worries and suspicions, the woman covered her face again and cried bitterly, and her body leaning against the wall slowly slid down, slumping on the ground along with her long blue hair wet from the rain. The extremely desolate figure then stayed quietly in the depths of the deserted streets, huddled together with the cold rain around him in the cold winter wind, until the cry gradually died away, and the woman holding her knees gradually raised her head: "......"

“…… Are you okay? ”

A muffled inquiry came from the far side of the alley, and then approached her with approaching footsteps: "It's so cold, and it's raining lightly......"

“…… How did you come here? ”

"This ......"

Looking at the beautiful face mixed with tears, the angry madman's originally calm voice became a little flustered: "I...... That one...... I just saw you running over on the street, so ......"

“…… Is it? ”

"That...... Don't be sad. ”

Walking in front of the whispering man, the warrior with two big swords on his back slowly squatted down: "What is there about that man to be sad about, and he also spoils his body......"

“……”

"Ah, it's the body in the game, so it's not a big deal."

Looking at the other party's unresponsive expression, the angry madman scratched his cheek: "But ...... I mean, excessive sadness can have a health impact, so it's ...... to be in a good mood Very important ......"

“……”

"Well, I'm not very good at saying that, so ......"

The Twin Sword Warriors in the drizzle were silent for a while, then stared at the whispering face and said, "Can I ...... You see, what do you want to do, change your mood or have fun or something, I ...... I can accompany you to do it......"

“…… Happy thing? ”

The numb eyes finally turned a little, and the murmuring eyes lingered on the angry maniac's face for a moment, and then moved up and down as if he had just reacted: "Happy thing...... Happy thing ......"

"My favorite thing about Lou Yuyan...... It's victory. ”

As if she was just talking to herself, the blue-haired woman's tearful eyes gradually rested on the gorgeous sword at her waist: "Since I was a child, I have obtained anything I want, whether it is wealth in reality or honor in virtual games......"

"Even in the most difficult three years of the past, I never gave up on myself, why now...... Am I suddenly giving up? ”

The light in her eyes became more and more intense, she clenched Hua Yan's sword hilt hard, and then wiped her eyes vigorously in the words that gradually became firmer: "How can I fail? How could I throw in the towel? The entire Lou family didn't beat me, just a little girl from the Chu family......"

"It's impossible to defeat me!"

"Hey—"

The blue-haired woman stood up in a daze as she stretched out her hand in an inexplicable rage, and then gradually disappeared in the other party's call. The figure of Lou Yuyan in pajamas in a villa in Hualan City then rushed out of his room, walked quickly to the hall on the first floor, and then surrounded by servants who heard the sound and approached, he gave one order after another: "Search the virtual game industry in the entire Hualan City, I want the information of all 27-year-old male players, if there is someone surnamed Duan in it, submit it to me as soon as possible!" Other than that...... Investigate the whereabouts of Chu Lingbing, the eldest lady of the Chu family, her residence, and recent movements, don't let go of every detail! ”

"Yes, Miss!"

"Fortunately, I didn't leave Hualan City in a hurry, otherwise I would have really given you a chance." She let out a cold snort, and then waved back the people around her who had received the order: "You guys wait, when I find out about your existence, I will definitely not let you go...... Well? ”

The music full of elegance sounded beside her, it was the sound of her communication ball constantly flickering, and the woman named Lou Yuyan looked at the name displayed on it and hesitated for a while, and finally stretched out her finger and pressed the connected button: "Hey, is it Uncle Duan?" ”

"Long time no see, Yu Yan."

The middle-aged man in the picture is also smiling, as if he is a kind uncle next door: "I have heard some ...... News that my nephew is still alive. ”

"Have you heard of it?"
