Chapter 8 Life is like a play

At dinner, the atmosphere at the table was a little oppressive.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to gasp for food, she felt that because of her brother's silence, her father's patience was about to reach the limit.

Lin Xiao also just ate with his head bored, the bowl was full of shrimp that Lin Ma had sandwiched, he didn't take back his skin, he bit off his head and threw it into his mouth to chew.

Originally, because of allergies, he didn't eat shrimp, but at this moment, Lin Xiao didn't want to refuse this intention.

"What have you been doing lately?"

Dad Lin finally couldn't help it, he didn't look at Lin Xiao, and opened his mouth while holding the dishes, as if he was just asking casually.

"Ouch, what are you doing! is eating, the child rarely comes back, can't you let him have a good meal? ”

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Lin's mother took the first step back.

"Don't I just ask, he's in the hospital, can I care about it?"

"You know that he is hospitalized, and you still don't let him have a good meal, and if you have anything to say, you will talk about it after eating."

After Lin Ma finished speaking, she took a large piece of fish meat and put it in Lin Xiao's bowl.

"Come, eat more and make up for it."

Lin Xiao knows where some of the bad problems of her predecessor came from, although she doesn't agree with such doting, but it is false to say that she is not envious.

He wrapped the fish in a large mouthful of rice left in the bowl, ate it in one bite, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

Put down the bowl and place the chopsticks together in the center.

"I have something to tell you."

He whispered.

"I'm not the original Lin Xiao, although I don't know what the reason is, but when I woke up in the hospital yesterday, I found myself using my current body."

"I know it's a bit strange, but it's true, a stranger's soul has taken over your son's body, it's not the intention, and it's not resistible, I'm sorry if it's offended."

Lin Xiao lowered her head and said very sincerely.

The expected shock and disbelief were not seen on the faces of this family, and when Lin Xiao raised his head, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back and laughed.

"What you're trying to say is, you're amnesia again, can't you remember what you did before?"

Dad Lin still looked indifferent, and said in a deep voice.

Mother Lin just smiled helplessly.

Therefore, it was Lin Xiao who was suppressed.

Do you really care about your son's life or death?

"Brother, this trick doesn't work." Xiaoxiao leaned over and whispered.

"Last time you moved out to live, didn't you say that, you scared your parents half to death, but a few days later you ran back and said that there was no money, it was just a joke before, brother, while Dad didn't take the stick, quickly accepted the Shentong Province, ah?"

Lin Xiao suddenly felt that the mouthful of food just now might be blocked in her throat, and she couldn't swallow it.

What a scumbag! Can you make up this kind of reason?

"Where do you want to go this time? Nishikawa? Kunning? It's not like going abroad, is it? ”

Dad Lin looked at his unsuccessful son, and the food in his hands was not fragrant.

He put down the dishes and chopsticks and crossed his hands in front of his chest.

"You said you're 21 years old, and you've had your 22nd birthday, right? Can you do one thing in a down-to-earth manner to give your parents some hope? ”

"Why did you go to the hospital yesterday, tell me."

"Wounded in the dungeon."

Lin Xiao didn't know how to justify, so she could only follow Daddy Lin's words.

"You're going to the dungeon again? Didn't you promise me and your mom that you would never go again? ”

"Probably because I'm an awakened person, I'm not willing to be mediocre."

Lin Xiao pondered his original thoughts and gave a similar answer.

"The Awoke? What's the use of the Awakened, you're just an E-class Awakened, can you scare those monsters to death by revealing your identity when you enter the dungeon? ”

"Look at it, take a good look at it."

Dad Lin took out a stack of bound thick paper from his pocket, which should have been cut out of a newspaper, from two months ago to today.

He handed it to Lin Xiao was a list of the dead in the dungeon, which Donglin Daily would count every day.

"Look at the above, the B-level and C-level awakened people who die in the dungeon every day, and even an A-level one has appeared, which of them is not better than you? What do you have to make a lot of fun in? ”

"Your mother and I have to watch this every day with trepidation, for fear that one day we will see your name on it."

"You are our only son, your parents are old and can no longer protect you, now is the time for you to give us a sense of security."

Dad Lin sighed deeply, this man who looked very stubborn, his eyes were full of exhaustion and helplessness.

Perhaps this fear did torment him for a long time.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt her hand being held.

He turned his head, and Mama Lin's eyes were already full of tears.

"Xiaoxiao, it's really not that your mother won't let you do what you want, it's just that it's really too dangerous to attack the dungeon, and when I think about it, I think of it if there is such a day...... How do you let your mother live! ”

"Mom really doesn't want you to get ahead, as long as you are safe every day."

As he spoke, tears slid down his eyes.

Then the right hand was also held, Lin Xiao turned his head, and Xiaoxiao also looked at him with tears in his eyes.

"Brother, don't go, okay, I'll beg you."

Lin Xiao felt her throat choked.

Although he didn't want to use deception to reassure them, he really couldn't resist the current situation, who had never had a similar experience.

"I ...... I know, there won't be a next time. ”

Lin Xiao lowered her head and rarely said something against her will.

"Then this can be signed, right?"

In the blink of an eye, my sister took out a piece of paper full of words from somewhere, obviously prepared in advance.

Lin Xiao quickly swept it, and it turned out to be a relevant agreement about quitting the active service of the awakened.

In general, the Awakened Ones who choose to retire will have their Awakening Certificate revoked, sealed archive data, and no longer be included in the list of executable tasks.

On the one hand, this ensures the privacy of the retirees, and on the other hand, it also maintains their normal life after retirement, at least the original comrades-in-arms cannot pull them back to their old jobs in a short time.

After all, you can't participate in the dungeon strategy without the proof of awakening.

In the case of re-application, it may take several months to go through a series of processes from acceptance to appraisal and approval.

Do you really want to sign it?

He hesitated, but then thought of something, and happily signed the agreement.

When he raised his head, he saw that Dad Lin was quietly giving Xiaoxiao a thumbs up, and Mama Lin was also smiling, except for a few tears on her face, she couldn't see Fang Cai's worried look at all.

Xiaoxiao snatched the agreement from Lin Xiao's hand, looked at it carefully, and flicked the paper with satisfaction.

The atmosphere is ...... It doesn't seem right.

Lin Xiao's hesitant gaze swept over the three of them, and when he passed by Lin Dad, he passed by him, and his gaze stayed in the trash can in the corner of the living room-

It was a stack of newspapers stacked and stuffed in, and the exposed corners were all missing.

It turns out that this is also just cut......

Lin Xiao looked at the pile of dead lists in his hand and had some understanding.

He didn't feel the anger he was deceived, but couldn't help laughing, a feeling he had never had the privilege of experiencing before.

Seeing that the three people in the room were each happy, something softened in Lin Xiao's heart.

It's strange that I should have been a stranger yesterday......

He quietly opened the game store and found a small card in the basic item column-

[Proof of Awakening], priced at 100 DH coins.

Just before the strength reaches a plateau, the original identity is no longer available, if there is a "player" who can continue to level up, then how crazy should the awakened people in this world be?

Lin Xiao bought it silently, in order to cater to the preferences of players, the information of [Awakening Certificate] can be filled in freely when it is used for the first time.

The name is called [Mu].

I'm sorry, but I just want to protect it. He thought silently.
