Chapter 37: Decadence
......
"How many days has it been?"
Li Zhi stepped down from the bed, hooked the pair of slippers that were scattered around as he walked, grabbed his messy hair, pushed open the door and sat on the handrail of the stairs and slid down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Breakfast was neatly placed on the table, and Li Sheng sat on the wooden chair with his eyes closed.
Li Zhi couldn't figure out how many days had passed since that day, he only knew that he hadn't been at home for the past few days, and he had exchanged a game console to play in the room regardless of time, and when the time came, he would eat, continue to play after eating, and sleep when he was sleepy. During this period, many people came to him, and Linglin came most frequently, but Li Zhi just didn't open the door and didn't see anyone.
He had considered whether to hide in the heretical world, but after thinking about it, he had made a mess of the heretical world he had experienced, and there were a lot of troubles when he entered. He wanted to find a place where no one knew him, a place where he didn't have to care about anyone or anything. Naturally, there is still such a place, where his novice task is, the world of Shikami.
But he just thought about it, and once he was in bed, he didn't want to move. He just wanted to stay in his room, turn off the lights, cover the quilt, and play game after game.
Decadent? Fallen?
Perhaps, but at least he didn't have to think about it so much, it was easy and happy.
Isn't this a way of life? When an otaku who is addicted to video games, he only needs to face the plot on the screen, some predictable results that are included in the program, and only need to face virtual characters, kill virtual monsters, fight monsters, level up, make money, and buy equipment.
How easy.
You can be a hero in the virtual world, and you can start over when you die, and when you are not satisfied with the direction of this plot, you can read the file and choose again. What a perfect thing it is!
Boom!
Li Zhi was startled, the door was kicked open unreasonably, and a person in the dark shadow came over angrily and lifted Li Zhi who was curled up in the quilt.
"You've made enough fuss, don't you !!!"
Linglin grabbed Li Zhi by the collar, grabbed him, kicked open the door of the toilet, and roughly threw Li Zhi into the bathtub.
"What are you doing?" Li Zhi sat up from the bathtub and straightened out his wrinkled collar.
"What am I doing? It's what you're doing!! Isn't it fun? How long are you going to be decadent, the time for your next mission is coming soon, and you are looking for death to enter the mission like this!! ”
Li Zhi didn't look at Linglin, lowered his head and muttered, "What do I care about you?" ”
Ling Lin grabbed Li Zhi's collar violently, forcing him to look into his eyes, "Li Zhi, your appearance like this will only make the people who care about you sad." How do you think Li Sheng felt when he saw your decadent appearance? Do you know what he's doing these days? He will come to me these days, fight me over and over again, he desperately wants to get stronger, every time he insists on seven or eight hourglasses, he is too tired to look like a man, and he has to come back on time to cook for you, pretending that nothing happened. ”
"And you?"
Ling Lin put down Li Zhi and sat down on the floor, "You probably don't know yet, Li Sheng's decision." ”
"He's unlinked from your friends."
Li Zhi raised his head suddenly, clicked on the power rule bracelet in disbelief, and ...... in the friend link column He's the only one......
"He's put in a lot of effort, a lot, but he has to admit that no matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up with you. In the next mission, he will inevitably become a drag on you, and you will do whatever it takes to protect him, but ...... He can't, he doesn't want that. ”
Li Zhi choked up and said, "I'...... Can ......"
"I know. You can slow down your progress for his sake and let Li Sheng improve to the same level as you, but if you do that, sooner or later you will become like Duan Gang and them. Li Sheng knew that it was not advisable, if he wanted to go to the top, and if he wanted to live forever, he could only desperately become stronger. ”
"That's what Li Sheng said to me, he said that you are a Tianjiao, as long as you keep your beliefs, you can naturally go in front of everyone. And he is just a mortal, if he wants to become stronger, he can only find his own way and use mortal methods to catch up with Tianjiao. And if he blindly follows you, he will never be able to catch up with you, and will only be pulled farther and farther away. ”
"If he wants to live, to live for you, then he must leave."
Li Zhi curled up in the bathtub and bit his index finger, "Where is he?" ”
"Left."
Ling Lin squatted to the side, silently looking at Li Zhi, who had buried his head in his thigh, listening to the choking sound.
"It's just a kid......"
Ling Lin kept stroking his head and gently patting his back. She knew that she couldn't go on like this, Li Sheng's departure was undoubtedly another blow to Li Zhi, Li Zhi had to come out of the shadows and get back up.
Li Zhi didn't know how many days he hadn't taken a bath, and his body had a musty smell. Linglin took off his clothes, took an unkempt hair to help him take a bath, and wiped his body for him.
Li Zhi did not resist, like a frightened little animal, he did nothing but cry. Let Linglin help him take a bath, help him get dressed, and help him dry his hair.
Ling Lin made up Li Sheng's bed and let Li Zhi sleep on it, while she held him in her arms and gently hummed the lullaby of her hometown beside her.
Li Zhi soon fell asleep, his head resting on his arm, breathing evenly.
When Linglin remembered her child, the mother queen also accompanied her to sleep like this, and when she thought of this, Linglin felt inexplicably embarrassed. The seeds of hope, in the name of hope, carry a certain heavy mission, but they are incomplete, their lives lack the growth process they should have, pull out the seedlings to help them mature, force them to participate in the task, and die if they fail.
There has been a lack of love since childhood, or perhaps the mechanism of the light sphere world was originally intended to curb the birth of love and cultivate them into ruthless individuals one by one.
Perhaps the ruthless person is the most powerful, and the soul will not have any weaknesses, and only exist for themselves. Ling Lin hated that kind of person, but she had to admit that the Ruthless Dao was the most powerful.
"So...... Will you be like that? ”
