Chapter 7: It's almost time for the protagonist to appear (Part I)
Wang Li has always felt that most people other than himself seem to be very, and it was not until recently, after the world incident, that Wang Li began to feel that the vast majority of people in this world are really nonsense. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
People shouting about the player's threat are. First of all, those people are basically in a position where they are not threatened by players, and secondly, no matter from which point of view, the damage that the so-called players can cause at present is far less harmful than the things that originally existed in this world. Life safety? Property damage? Social impact? Public interest? Profiteers, corrupt officials, warmongers - oh yes, and the cornered mink, everyone does better than the player.
People who take this opportunity to preach a certain religion are. There are indeed a lot of fanatical believers shouting such things, shallow believers, onlookers playing soy sauce, and religious liars, but these players themselves don't say that they have anything to do with those gods and ghosts, why are you kidding me?
Those who think that players can be companions are. Although I am short-sighted and have not been in contact with many players, judging from the few players I have invited to clean up the surrounding environment, even these more friendly players have no sense of identity with the world, and the reason why they take such actions is only to obtain some kind of profit. How can you expect to treat you like people with non-self-aware artificial intelligence and treat you as companions? It's rare to see the kind of stupidity of the protagonist of an online game novel.
As for those who think that the big event of the player invasion or something is too far away, and that we, as ordinary people, we just need to live our lives in peace - this kind of idiocy is simply to the extreme. Not to mention, the impact of these strange monsters that have recently begun to invade the town, as well as those pervasive cultists, is obviously impossible to ignore.
Nowadays, people are used to calling those people players, but in fact, not many people think about what the word "player" actually represents, and in their mouths, it seems to be just synonymous with "visitors from other worlds". It is precisely because of this that the stupid statements mentioned above will circulate. Undoubtedly, this situation is also very nonsense.
However, having said that, as far as Wang Li's personal opinion is concerned, it really doesn't matter if the player is not a player. From his personal point of view, it is enough for him to understand the possibility of causing harm to himself, ways to avoid or mitigate this harm, and relatively safe ways to use the help of the player. All that thinking about the player, the world, and other people is completely superfluous, and it is a meaningless thing to do in a state of panic.
Wang Li didn't like to think about these useless things. Given that he could not suppress his thoughts most of the time, he was very enthusiastic about the ordinary life, in other words, the life of toil, but meaningless, which was repeated day after day. Therefore, he found an ordinary job, commuted to and from work every day, mingled with people who were, did the same, and said the same. Now, too, it's an ordinary walk home.
There seems to be something under his feet that is hindering him, so he doesn't have to think about it at all, he lifts his foot and slams it on the ground, and there is a very soft touch on the soles of his feet, and there is a strange sound like "poof", and then he shakes his leg violently, and he will feel a lightness on his leg. Out of meaningless curiosity, he turned his head to look at it and said, "Ah, it's a mouse this time." I don't know what to say, then I took out the bottle casually, splashed the liquid in it, threw a match, and left without looking back.
The movements were skillful and smooth, which made Wang Li nod in satisfaction. Today, when this kind of thing has become "normal", Wang Li, as an ordinary person, must also be able to get used to such normality.
So, on February 12, 2021, the Lunar New Year, Wang Li was still as normal as ever and acted correctly.
Of course, even in ordinary life, there are occasionally some nuances that do not hurt the overall situation, such as-
It's possible to be stopped in the middle of the road by a strange little boy and then asked to find a girl who seems to be his favorite, right? Even if you add a sentence later, saying "it may be a boy" is quite normal, right?
Wang Li showed an ordinary smile to the child in front of him: "Children, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, why didn't you stay with the adults in the family and come out to play alone?" β
Then it was logical to send him home to find an adult, which was what Wang Li had planned.
"I ...... My parents are gone. Hearing the unexpected answer, Wang Li was a little stunned for a while.
"Ah, yes, is that the case......" Wang Li didn't feel embarrassed or anything, but realized the next trouble, and if he wanted to be ordinary as always, he would have no way to get out of this kind of thing as always.
"I'm so sorry." The choice is easy, ordinary is necessary, and there is no way to trouble a little more for this, "I didn't expect this, I'm really sorry for the sad things that have aroused you." What did you just say that you need my help? β
The other party repeated it and confirmed that he wanted to help find a friend who didn't know if it was a man or a woman. But this time Wang Li was no longer so surprised, thinking about it carefully, a child like this child who is less than ten years old, it is likely that the secondary sexual characteristics have not yet developed, and most of the genders are distinguished by clothing and hairstyles, so even if they are close partners, it is understandable that they can't figure out the gender.
"Hmm. But why do you need my help with something like this? Is it someone I know? Wang Li sincerely hoped that it was his acquaintance, and if that was the case, it would be over quickly.
"No, it's not." Unfortunately, the other side unsurprisingly gave a negative answer.
While Wang Li was disappointed, the other party's reply was also more detailed: "I ask you for help, mainly because I hope you can help me analyze it." If the other person has always recognized me as a friend, but suddenly, after I know that she is actually a man, completely disappears from my sight, and no longer recognizes me as his friend, then why? β
"Huh?" Wang Li was a little puzzled by the child's expression, "You said 'agree'...... Since you haven't seen him since, how do you know if he agrees that you're a friend? Maybe he was suddenly dragged out of town by his family and lost your contact information, so he couldn't contact you? He might still be worried about you. β
ββ¦β¦ I had a way of knowing the location of the person who identified with me as a 'partner,' but there was no one among them. The boy said something nonsense with a serious expression, and it seemed as if he really believed it.
ββ¦β¦ Hmm......" Wang Li nodded, then turned around and continued walking towards home.
The boy chased after him a little surprised, and grabbed Wang Li's clothes: "That, uncle? What do you mean? β
"What do you mean?" Wang Li asked a little irritably, and then shook his head with a smile, "I said, little friend, so why are you asking me?" If you don't know, I won't know, will I? β
The boy realized the change in Wang Li's attitude, and was a little puzzled for a while: "That, I just want to ask you for a favor......"
"So, why do you need my help?" Wang Li's smile was a little cold, he had never shown this kind of expression in normal times, but now he looked very natural, "Why do people like you need the help of ordinary people like me?" If you have that ability, you're not an ordinary child, are you? Then I'll figure it out for myself. β
"Wait, hey, uncle, wait!" The little boy chased after him in some panic.
Although this child is very troublesome, as an ordinary person, this time will not be like a ghost to panic and run away. Wang Li frowned, feeling a little troublesome, but still stopped.
"Why do you want me to help?" Wang Li's indifferent expression revealed an impatience full of murderous intent.
"......," the boy hesitated, nodded meaninglessly, and said, "Because you have an aura that I feel familiar with." It's rare to see people with this kind of aura, but as far as I know, they are all very powerful and special characters. β
"No matter how you look at it, I'm a very normal normal person, right?" Retorted without thinking.
"That, uncle." The boy laughed dryly, "Generally speaking, 'normal ordinary people' don't emphasize their 'ordinary' attributes like you, right?" On the contrary, such people tend to look at their own subtle differences and find a little bit of superiority in them, right? β
"......," the boy was right. The more he tries to get closer to the behavior pattern of "ordinary people", the more it shows that his thinking is abnormal, and it is precisely because he understands this that Wang Li is trying more and more to get close to "ordinary people", at least "ordinary" in his own concept.
"Even so." Wang Li smiled and shook his head, "Even if my way of thinking seems to be different from everyone else, my life experience is indeed very, very ordinary." Under such conditions, it would be unrealistic for you to ask me to do you a favor as a 'real anomaly', right? By the way, uncle, I also have a family, and on the first day of the new year, my uncle is also going home to accompany his wife and children. β
Wang Li lied, he is in his thirties, and the only family members who want to go back to accompany him during the Chinese New Year are his parents, and for various reasons, he is still single. But it doesn't matter, for Wang Li, lying is a stress-free thing, plus it is for this kind of "abnormal person", that is, people in the "other world", lying to them, even if it is exposed, it does not mean that it will have any impact on their normal life, so there is no need to hesitate.
"Oh, that's right." The corners of the boy's mouth twitched, and he nodded, retracting his hand a little timidly.
"I'm so sorry, kid." Wang Li suddenly felt very comfortable, and he didn't want to be too embarrassed by this little guy, so he handed over a business card, "Well, this is my business cardβalthough there is nothing but the name and phone number." Although this kind of thing can't help you today, if there is anything else close to the problem of 'normal life', you can come to your uncle. Uncle will definitely help you. β
The boy lowered his head and nodded silently, perhaps because he couldn't see his expression, and always felt that the boy was too gloomy. But Wang Li didn't care, he didn't think that such a thing would have a huge impact on his life - or rather, he didn't want to think about it that way.
"Thank you, uncle, for helping a lot." Because of this, when he vaguely heard such gloomy and seemingly malicious words coming from behind him, Wang Li still walked straight forward without looking back, all as if it was his own auditory hallucination.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The words are divided into two ends, Wang Li, who doesn't care about returning home, is still ordinary to prepare to go to New Year's greetings with his parents, and still listens to his parents' nagging about finding a daughter-in-law, let's take a look at the things on the side of the little boy who is not so ordinary.
You have probably guessed that this little boy is a classmate of the insect catching cadre.
"Ah, that guy didn't hesitate to talk about it." The insect catcher cadre played with the business card in his hand and sighed, "It does look very similar to Brother Lin." Saying, 'I'm a family man' -- that's a lie, right? β
"Ah, believe me, I won't say it...... Hey, can you hear me? The sound of two-color balls sounded in the ears of the insect catcher, but it was intermittent, big and small, and it sounded very laborious.
"I guess I can hear you. Ah, self-hypnosis or something is too much trouble. The insect catcher complained, "It's nonsense to let yourself think you're an 'intruder' even though you haven't done anything." Hey, say something? β
After waiting for a minute, the insect catcher cadre pouted a little unhappily: "Cut, is the thread broken, so I said that this way is so troublesome, so troublesome...... Forget it, I've done what that guy asked me to do, and the information for the deal has already been in my hands, so now I can go to Darkglow - that guy is gone, right? β
The insect catcher cadre's face turned black as he spoke, and the smile on his face revealed a terrible meaning: "Very good, that kid." She uses illusion to turn herself into a little girl all day long, and she is so much cuter than her boy...... Hmph, even I have been deceived - whoever dares to lie to me, I will definitely make him pay!
