Chapter 80: A Duel in the Streets
Now like this, he is constantly pestering himself with other means. And I don't have any verbal or emotional reaction to any of my actions, it's like...
"Dream Demon..."
Thinking of this, Chen Xingying spit out these two words.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
The two asked.
"It's like a nightmare, isn't it, the flaws that have been haunting you are so unreal, the most important thing is that it always pops up when we're happiest and destroys it all. Even you can't breathe. ”
Chen Xingying said.
"It does feel like there is some truth to hearing you say that, and it doesn't feel like a human anymore." Chen Xin returned.
"Maybe this dream demon is the key to our clearance this time?" Xiao Chu said.
"Well, if he shows up later, it's a possibility." Chen Xingying said.
"So, he's a big boss, right? Though... The memory of why we came to this virtual world has not yet been restored, but now there is a goal that always feels like a big step forward. Chen Xin said with a smile.
"Well, anyway, from now on, you can't be as laid-back as before." Chen Xingying said affirmatively.
……
So after breakfast, everyone got into Chen Xingying's "father's" car and returned to the city.
Although from now on, we must be ready to be vigilant against Neil's surprise attack, but there is no better way at the moment, but to continue to take one step at a time.
The next day, Chen Xin told Chen Xingying early in the morning that he planned to continue to take him out shopping in the afternoon, the main purpose was to help him choose tomorrow's birthday gift.
"This, it's not necessary, this is a virtual world, and the gift can only be virtual." Chen Xingying replied.
"But it's still worth keeping it in your inventory, it's your first birthday in the virtual world."
Chen Xin said this, which moved Chen Xingying very much.
In the afternoon, I came to the downtown area. Chen Xingying has been vigilant since she went out, and if Neil appears, she must grasp his motives as soon as possible.
But will he really suddenly appear on the streets of a downtown street? This is still questionable.
From the first floor to the fifth floor of the mall, Chen Xin took Chen Xingying to walk around for a long time, but it seemed that Chen Xin did not find a satisfactory birthday gift.
And, for some reason, Chen Xingying always felt that someone nearby had been staring at them, could it be Neil?
This tense mood has been maintained for a long time, so Chen Xingying really can't help it...
"It's been almost an afternoon, in fact, you really don't have to be so elegant, I'll be happy to give me any one." Chen Xingying said while feeling a little impatient.
"Well, actually, I have several alternatives, but I always feel that there are many things that are meaningless when they are divorced from reality." Chen Xin replied.
"Look at me." confirmed Chen Xingying's statement before going out.
Chen Xin completely stopped at this time and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, two passers-by and girls passed by them.
"Wow, did you buy this ornament on this bag new? It feels so cute. ”
"Yes, this is a souvenir from the last concert, and there is no other place to buy it except for the scene."
"It's so good, it's a pity, I didn't go last time because I worked overtime, and if I wanted it, I would definitely be copied by profiteers on the Internet."
It's pretty much this kind of everyday conversation.
"Charms?" Chen Xin, who had been thinking about it, seemed to have opened her mind, and then...
"Oh yes, how did I forget it." Then he smiled and muttered to himself as if he had found a treasure.
"Let me see." Then I looked at the floor plan of the mall.
"Good! Professor, let's go to B1. Immediately pulled Chen Xingying and left.
"Ah, slow down." The sudden action startled him.
After coming to the B1 floor, Lin Chenxin took Chen Xingying into an animation peripheral store.
"Huh? There are so many familiar anime characters. Chen Xingying looked around the inside of the shop, thinking that with so many animation IPs that exist in the real world, won't Taoyuan Company be sued for infringement?
Chen Xin ignored him, bent on finding what she wanted.
"Ah, I found it!" As he spoke, he took a small item and went to the cash register to settle the bill.
Then followed her out of the house, Chen Xingying asked:
"So what is it?"
"That's it." Chen Xin displayed the things she had just bought in front of Chen Xingying.
It is a very cute anime-style little boy's ornament. The little boy wore a hat with a smug look on his face.
"Ah, isn't this the protagonist of that detective manga that has been serialized?" Chen Xingying recognized it at a glance.
"Well, that's right, I've always felt that this little boy in the protagonist is like... I mean personality or something, so you see how good it is to hang him on Xiaoxin. Chen Xin said with a smile.
It's actually a gun ornament... Chen Xingying didn't expect this. After all, many shooting games have the ability to decorate your own gun.
"Okay, of course. But you're going to give it to me now, tomorrow is my birthday. Chen Xingying saw that Chen Xin looked like she wanted to give him the ornament directly.
"Well, anyway, I came out with you to buy it, you already know what it is, so just hang it up." After Chen Xin finished speaking, she put it in Chen Xingying's hand.
"That's good..."
So the two of them walked into the safe aisle, observed that no one was around, and then took out the RG-Supernova and hung the charm to the end.
"Okay, so you can always remember that this is my birthday present to you." Chen Xin looked at "Xiaoxin" and smiled.
Obsessed with such a thing... Sure enough, the girl's mind was incomprehensible, Chen Xingying thought to herself.
But to be honest, if the real world is seen by passers-by, the two of them are more ashamed than dangerous because they are still playing with a toy gun that children play with. (Most likely, no one will think it's a real gun.)
So the time was not early, and the two left the mall department store directly to go home.
Still walking in the downtown area, the time to come is still coming.
"Someone got shot! The terrorists are back! As the gunshots rang out, passers-by began to scream.
"Is the abomination finally revealed?" Chen Xingying seemed to have expected it.
"Professor?" Chen Xin screamed and looked at him.
"Hmmm! Let's go, we must share the result with him this time. Chen Xingying said that she and Chen Xin ran towards the source of the gunshot.
Surprisingly, right there, Neil had been standing on the roof of a small clothing store, not leaving an inch, as if waiting for Chen Xingying and them to come. Because he had a gun in his hand, the people around him were already scattered.
