Chen Hao quit the game, took off the game helmet and stood up, finding that his head was a little groggy, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he had already begun to protest.

Chen Hao hurriedly took the elevator downstairs and settled his lunch in a small shop nearby.

When the stomach is full, the person is comfortable.

After eating, he didn't care about resting, and rushed back to the office quickly, put on a game helmet and re-entered the game.

If he usually has to rest enough before going online, but it's still in the mission stage, and there is still someone waiting for him in the game, so he can't delay too much time.

The data reconnected, Chen Hao entered the game again, still appeared in the same place, he turned around and squatted down to pick up Lilian in the tree hole.

But Chen Hao was surprised to find that Lilian was gone.

He had put her in a tree hole before he went offline, and in order to hide it, he had also made some leaves and grass to cover the tree hole, and now he opened the grass and leaves to find that Lillian was not inside.

Chen Hao calculated the time, it was only 40 minutes from his offline to his return, according to the ratio of time in the virtual world and the real world was 3 to 1, and the time in the game had passed 120 minutes, which was only two hours.

These two hours are a long time for a fugitive, and anything can happen.

Could it be that it was discovered by the people of the Morey Empire?

This is the first thought in Chen Hao's mind, there are human-faced centipedes killing the territory near here, no monsters will enter this area, if it is not a monster, it can only be a human being.

Chen Hao was anxious at this time, he was worried about whether Lilian had encountered something wrong, this anxious emotion was not only because of this task, but also because of the roads that two people had walked by relying on each other in such a big forest, more or less Chen Hao had treated this NPC girl as a real human being.

Chen Hao opened his thighs and began to look around for Lilian's traces, if he met someone from the Morey Empire, he didn't mind firing all the firepower, and even summoned the undead knight Torre, to snatch her back.

Chen Hao looked around and found traces of someone passing by in a bush, he opened the video record in the game, compared it, and found that it was very complete before, but at this time there were a lot of fallen leaves on the ground, and it should be that people passed by to get rid of the leaves.

It should be that direction, Chen Hao drilled into the bushes, the dense bushes blocked his vision, and it was very difficult to even take a step, he was very curious why the people of the Morey Empire would run here.

After Chen Hao got into the bushes, he didn't take a few steps when he heard a cold voice behind him: "Don't move, turn around." ”

When this voice sounded, Chen Hao also felt that his waist was pressed against something very hard and sharp.

Wait, this sound is familiar..... It's Lillian!

Chen Hao immediately shouted: "Lilian is me, I'm back." ”

Then Chen Hao felt that the sharp thing on his waist had been removed, he turned around, gently picked up the bush behind him, and saw Lilian hiding inside, with a dirty face, and a knight's spear open next to it, which should have been on his waist just now.

Lilian looked at Chen Hao, with a stubbornness and joy in her blue eyes, her eyes were full of tears, and she rushed towards Chen Hao and hugged him tightly.

Chen Hao looked at the blonde girl in his arms, the uneasiness just now disappeared, he gently comforted Lilian, and said, "It's okay, I'm back." ”

Lilian stayed in Chen Hao's arms for a while, and only after her mind calmed down did she separate, she picked up the spear on the ground and put it back into the space props.

"When I woke up, I found myself lying in a hollow in a tree, and I saw the note you left behind, I don't know how long it will take for you to come back soon, but I know you will definitely come back." Lillian said.

Hearing this, Chen Hao felt a little reluctant in his heart.

"Lillian, why did you come here?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

"Although the tree hole is covered with grass and leaves, it is still unsafe, and it is still dangerous if the enemy has a search tool such as a hunting dog, so it is best to hide in the bushes."

"Won't you be found hiding in the bushes?" Chen Hao asked.

"Yes....." replied Lillian, and she continued, "but if they dare to enter this bush, I will light a torch here, and we will all die together." ”

Chen Hao looked at Lilian with a very serious expression on her face, he believed that if her traces were discovered by the people of the Morey Empire first, she would definitely light the fire and die together.

This may be the consciousness of being born in a military family.

"It's okay, I'm back." Chen Hao sighed and repeated the sentence just now.

Lilian's movement was still inconvenient, she was carried by Chen Hao, and continued on the road to the border fortress.

They walked for a while and came to a vast lake.

"It's beautiful!" Chen Hao looked at the lake in the distance and sighed, because they were worried that there were monsters in the lake, so they didn't dare to approach.

"This lake has been recorded in the diary written by the scout, called Mirror Lake, it is very vast, as long as we go down from here and go east, we can go to the border fortress." Lillian began to recall the information she had received from the book.

"Well, then we'll go east along here." Chen Hao carried Lilian on his back and began to walk east.

"By the way, Lillian, can I ask you a question?" Chen Hao walked by the lake with Lilian on his back, and when he was bored, he talked to Lilian behind him.

"Just ask."

"Ahem..... You should know that people like us can be resurrected once they die. Chen Hao's "us" refers to players.

"Well, I know that you strangers who have been blessed by the goddess are not afraid of death." Lillian replied very calmly.

Outsiders are NPCs who describe the player group, in this world NPCs are aborigines, their history has been developing for I don't know how many years, and players are called outsiders after entering.

"That'...... I wonder if you will not be resurrected after you die? "Chen Hao is very curious about the entire NPC world, but he can't ask too bluntly, it would be bad to be kicked offline by the system harmony.

Lilian on Chen Hao's back did not answer Chen Hao, and the atmosphere was a little awkward at this time.

"Excuse me, if you don't want to answer, forget it." Chen Hao felt that it was not good for him to ask such a sensitive question.

"No, no, I'm just thinking." Lillian replied.

"Some people can come back to life, and some people can't come back to life, it all depends on God's will." "However, the person who can come back to life seems very unusual, as if ..... It's as if I've forgotten everything in the past and I'm a different person. ”

Hearing Lilian say this, Chen Hao understood that the death of the original NPC was determined by the system, but what was resurrected after death should be another set of programs, and the previous set of programs was destroyed with death.

In other words, if Lilian dies in this mission, then she may be directly judged to be destroyed and cannot be resurrected, and if the system determines that she can be resurrected, it will be another Lilian, that is, Lilian II.

It turns out that the world of NPCs is so cruel.

"Liliane ....."

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, with me, I won't let you die." Chen Hao said solemnly.

"Okay, thank you." Lilian was behind Chen Hao, leaning her head on his back, and soon there was a very even breathing from behind.

Lilian fell asleep, sleeping very relaxed.
