"Xiao Qian! Xiao Qian! Don't go yet! You...... Damn it. ”

Sitting weakly in his game cabin, Duan Qing let out a deep breath, and then waved the echoless electronic light screen, along with the large news light curtain around him, into the darkness in front of him. The sound that echoed around was then replaced by endless silence, and at the same time fell into silence, as well as the sound of contemplative breathing again, and finally his gaze, which gradually became dull, also swayed his head back and forth, patrolling back and forth around this secret residence where he hadn't stayed for long: "Colorful Spiritual Light......

"The fire that came from me has never been extinguished."

He closed his eyes, and a trace of pain gradually appeared on his face: "And it has burned so close......"

【Tick——】

A slight chiming sound reappeared in front of Duan Qing, it was the sound that came when the ordinary communication request that was different from the emergency communication rang again, his eyes moved slightly and stayed on it for a long time, but finally took the ordinary communication request that was not marked with any name: "......"

"You may sound a little upset."

It seemed that he had been prepared for the silence that spread from this side, and an old man's voice finally sounded on the other end of the communication: "Young Master." ”

"Sure enough......"

Taking a deep breath, Duan Qing spit out his own gnashing of teeth: "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"If you don't, you won't answer this communication, right?"

Let out an uncontrollable chuckle, the old man's voice on the other side of the communication explained proudly: "Ever since the name 'Mo Shang Qingshan' began to circulate in the free world, we have been trying to start contacting you, and the mailbox of your friend list is ...... But we still have our messages. ”

"Do you want to check it out now?" Speaking of this, the old man picked up the deep voice: "So that the remorse in your heart will be deepened?" ”

“…… That's it. ”

With a wave of his hand, Duan Qing completely relaxed his body, and then raised his voice and upward gaze in the silence of the other party: "Tell me your purpose...... What exactly do you want? ”

“…… The eldest young master of our Duan family seems to have matured a lot. ”

The old man on the other side of the communication was silent for a moment again, and then issued a compliment with applause: "If it was the previous Duan Tianfeng, maybe he would have been thunderous and cruel at this time. ”

"Less nonsense, of course people will grow." Duan Qing replied expressionlessly: "What's more, after such three years, if you don't grow again......"

"It's too late, young master, it's too late." Before Duan Qing finished speaking, the old man's voice suddenly raised up: "You can make up for anything, but you can't make up for time...... Even today, you can't easily make up for the mistakes you've made in the past, can you? ”

“…… You're right. ”

"Then why do you want to come out?"

“…… Because I like it. “

“…… Such a willful reason is unjustifiable in front of me and the head of the family. ”

After a few inexplicable words of conversation between each other, Duan Qing, who was sitting in the center of the game cabin, buried his head again, and the old man who noticed this change from his tone also let out his hoarse laughter again: "That retreat three years ago was already the biggest concession under our coordination, and we didn't even erase your reputation, leaving the best ending for the name of Sky Breaker Blade......"

"You wouldn't be naïve enough to think that this meant that the feud was over, was it?" His voice gradually became much more indifferent: "Even if the third generation of virtual gaming technology has passed, what has happened...... It's never going to fade. ”

“……”

"The Coalition's investigators should have visited your retreat the other day - I have to say, you're guts."

As if remembering something that had happened at a certain point in time, the old man's voice became gloomy again: "Such a method as the Great Hidden City can actually be used." ”

"I know what you mean, you're trying to warn me in this way." Duan Qing's answer did not carry any smugness: "Those incidents...... It's still on my head, isn't it? ”

"That's right, the three words Duan Tianfeng are not only the number of records held by the alliance, but also the most wanted criminal within the alliance." The old man laughed: "Although you are a fast runner, you ...... Do you need us to remind them again what your sword has done? ”

“…… I must stress that there is nothing wrong with the sword itself. Duan Qing's tone finally became serious: "You and Bo...... During this time, Duan Yannian must have tried his best to get his hands on it. ”

“……”

"What kind of Templar thing, did you instruct you behind your back?" Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "Since you are trying so hard to get these things, what about the righteous annihilation of relatives three years ago...... What is it for, exactly? ”

“…… Well, the gossip is already about the same. ”

As if he didn't want to reveal too much on this issue, the old man on the other side of the communication finally turned the topic back to Duan Qing: "It's time to solve the problem at hand." ”

“…… Go ahead. ”

"We don't want to see you and your team on the professional stage of the league again."

The voice paused, and the old man said to Duan Qing in a low voice, "In order not to cause too much shock...... Ten hours later, I hope you can lose in a normal way. ”

“……”

"Wings of Freedom will be the champion of this competition, and the Chu family ...... It will also become the focus of our support in the future. ”

As if he understood the other party's reason for being silent, the old man chuckled again and said, "Although it is a little disgusting to pick up that broken shoe again, but ...... Xu Liangyu is very interesting, and he is also very in line with the taste of the head of the family. ”

“…… What about the Knights Templar? ”

"If there were no accidents, the Knights Templar should have stood in the world as a different image of invincibility, but now ...... Hehehehehe. ”

The old man replied in a low voice, "An ambitious and unscrupulous little person, and a woman who originally looked down on you because of the game, but now she has begun to fight for power and profit because of the game...... That sounds like a good combination. ”

“…… You, you ......"

"Don't bother talking, you don't need to worry about the future of this world anyway."

Feeling the tremor in Duan Qing's tone, the old man's voice finally revealed a hint of excitement: "If you are still unwilling and still don't want to let go of the rule of this world, we will not be able to guarantee the safety of those friends around you, and at the same time, we will make everything about your past public...... Scold. ”

"I'd love to know...... When Jian Beidong and the eldest lady of the Lou family know the truth of those things three years ago, will they be like Chen Tiancheng at the beginning? He let out another horrible laugh: "That picture...... Even I, Liu Benyong, can't imagine it! Hahaha! ”

The slight ticking sound disappeared into the silent underground space with the old man's last voice like tearing his soul, and the ultimatum sent to Duan Qing this time ended temporarily with a piercing epilogue, but Duan Qing, who looked at the disappearance of the light screen, did not take his eyes off for a long time, and only raised his right hand after a while: "...... Feed? ”

"Hello, I'm speechless, time is inconvenient, please ...... after a tick"

“……”

Without leaving too many words, Duan Qing silently hung up his communication, but the right hand that wanted to be moved back slowly moved to another adjacent avatar after a moment's pause: "...... Feed. ”

“…… See who this is? You're going to contact me? With this account? The name? ”

“……”

"What's wrong? Confused? You're a battle-hardened veteran, what's the point of this battle? ”

"Have you read the latest news?"

“…… No, what's wrong? ”

"Help me take care of the Silence."

“…… What do you mean? ”

"She may have gone to the northwest suburbs, the one at the end of the river."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? What is she going to do in that place...... Feed? Feed? ”

“…… Call. ”

Cutting off this temporary communication, the room filled with the characteristic humming sound of the old machine fell into a deathly silence again, and the wheezing sound belonging to Duan Qing appeared in the sky above the game pod for a long time, and disappeared with the picture of the hatches on both sides slowly descending: "By the general." ”

"Although this move is not very good, the speed is used to the extreme."

He shook his head, logged back into the game, and reappeared on the suspended platform in the night breeze that still blew over the city of Zaraha. The cold winter wind continued to pass by his side as the black pillar of light, which was still extremely bright, blew his originally gloomy mood even lower, and a whispered inquiry suddenly sounded in his ears with the gradual stabilization of his condensed body: "...... Castle peak. ”

"Mo Shang...... Castle peak. ”

“…… Oh, I forgot about you. ”

Glancing at Ai Yina who had been staring at him beside him, Duan Qing responded uneasily, and only after a while did he gradually gather his attention in the posture of the other party kneeling on the edge of the platform: "You...... You've always been here? ”

"Hmm."

This time, the woman's answer was very quick: "I ...... Wait for you to come back, keep ......"

“…… It's not like waiting for me to come back and jump together, is it? Duan Qing half-jokingly tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Do you want to jump now?" Don't worry, I'll land you safely. ”

"I ...... I found it. ”

As if he didn't understand what the other party's extremely fast words just now meant, the puzzled look from Ai Yina stayed on Duan Qing's face for a long time again, and then pointed to the center of the platform under his feet: "I found it...... way, go back...... Target...... Method. ”

“…… Call. ”

His gaze stayed on the woman's focused and serious eyes for a moment, Duan Qing let out a long sigh, and while signaling the other party not to worry, he slowly squatted on the edge of the high platform: "How long have you been waiting here?" ”

"One...... Hour. ”

“…… Isn't it cold? ”

"I, I'm not cold, I'm ...... It's okay. ”

“…… Remember to take good care of yourself in the future. ”

Taking out the cloak from his backpack, Duan Qing clumsily wrapped it around his follower: "I only taught you those passwords for the sake of fighting and self-preservation, in essence, you are still a simple girl who doesn't know anything, if you are just allowed to go to other parts of the Free Continent...... Maybe you'll have to suffer a lot of losses. ”

“…… Be...... Is it? ”

"Originally, I took care of you, and these problems are not a problem."

Patting the other party's back, Duan Qing turned his gaze to the distant sky: "But...... For some reason, I may not be able to take care of you anymore. ”

“……？”

"Hey, I thought I could take the opportunity to pick up a big treasure and study it."

Ignoring the puzzled eyes that suddenly projected from the other party, Duan Qing muttered to himself in a low voice, "But...... It doesn't matter, anyway, the system of the free world is still very enlightened, and my disappearance should not mean that you are dead, and you should not be erased by the system......"

"Remember, learn to be independent later." Ignoring the confused expression on the other party's face, he gestured in the air with all kinds of actions: "Make your own decisions about what happens, don't trust other people easily, if you can discern it, it's best to socialize more with people with slightly better character, at least they can teach you some principles of how to behave in the world...... Well? ”

He stopped his words, and at the same time looked at the face of the woman who suddenly approached him, but the beautiful face full of exotic customs did not shed pearl-like tears as Duan Qing expected, but opened his eyes widen: "Qingshan, you want to ...... Leave...... Is it? ”

“…… Well, yes. ”

"Aoyama...... Want...... Go...... Where? ”

"I'm going to a place you can't go."

Finally mentioning the core of the inexplicable problem, Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "So ......"

"Aoyama, go to that place...... I...... Also...... Go to that place. ”

As if telling an indisputable fact, Aiyina clasped her hands in front of her chest, and her upward face was like the wind around her, constantly approaching Duan Qing: "Any...... Place...... All...... OK. ”

"No, you don't understand what I mean, it's another world, you can't ......"

"I ...... Know, that world. ”

The light in her eyes became more and more determined, and Ayina gradually withdrew her stretched neck: "I, we, can ...... Together, go to ...... There. ”

“…… Hey, don't talk nonsense. Duan Qing, who began to have black lines on his head, pushed his hands: "And I don't think what we're talking about is definitely the same thing...... Feed! ”

"What are you doing!"

In the night sky where the endless black light spread, the woman suddenly stretched her hands into Duan Qing's arms, and her cold-touch fingers then swam on her ragged chest for a moment, and then grasped something hanging from Duan Qing's neck. A faint green light then shone in the middle of the small hands that were clasped together again, and at the same time, there was a beautiful song that belonged to Ayina that lit up again, and then the tone like a magical chant followed by the emerald green light condensed on Duan Qing's chest, in the form of another pillar of light through the dark sky above Zaraha City.
