Inside the mountain castle, there are rows of primitive grass huts and wooden or stone houses, and the wide streets are deserted and rarely walked.

Empty, desolate.

This is Zhang Chai's first impression of the interior of the mountain city.

He was not disappointed in his heart, after all, the living environment on the island was too harsh, and in this case, it was estimated that no one would bother to build a comfortable shelter, but should think about how to hunt more monsters.

The mountain city is not big, and Zhang Chai walked most of the circle in a few minutes, and then stopped in front of a three-story wooden house.

At the entrance of the three-storey wooden house is a simple sign with the words 'Quiet Hotel' written on it.

Zhang Chai crossed the threshold, walked into the quiet hotel, and looked up to see a sloppy little old man in a white sweatshirt, lying lazily on a chair.

"You're here to stay at the hotel, aren't you? 10 evaluation points a month, there are so many empty rooms on it, you can pick it yourself, anyway, you may not be able to come back one day. The little old man didn't look at Zhang Chai, and said casually.

Zhang Chai immediately transferred the 10 evaluation points to the little old man, and was about to step up the stairs and find a guest room to live in.

"Wait." The little old man got up slightly, glanced at Zhang Chai, and said unhurriedly: "I call it a quiet hotel here, so you have to be quiet when you stay in the hotel, don't make any noise." ”

"Got it." Zhang Chai nodded lightly, walked slowly up the stairs, picked a slightly pleasing guest room on the third floor, then locked the door and window, found a wooden barrel for bathing in the guest room, and began to rinse the dirt on his body.

It took a whole bucket of mineral water for him to wash off the dirt and stench on his body, and then he threw the thorn on the balcony to dry, and changed back into his modern clothes.

After a simple bath, Zhang Chai lay down on a wooden bed in the guest room and let out a sigh, "Whew, it's much more comfortable now." ”

It didn't take long for Zhang Chai, who was sleeping lightly with his eyes closed, to fall asleep unconsciously......

In the darkness of nothingness.

Suddenly, a sweet female voice sounded: "ZZ! You're finally willing to come in with me...... I'm so happy. ”

Is it Asuna's voice?

Zhang Chai, who was in a state of confusion, gradually regained his consciousness, and tried to open his eyes, only to find that his eyes were covered by endless darkness, and his body became very light, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

As this sweet female voice fell, under Zhang Chai's eyes, a stunning girl with her arms crossed and wearing a knight's uniform slowly emerged.

Asuna!

Seeing Asuna who had not been seen for a long time, Zhang Chai's love suddenly stirred, and he wanted to rush to Asuna's side immediately and hug her tightly, but he helplessly found that he couldn't move at all.

Asuna silently stared in the direction where Zhang Chai was, a layer of mist gradually appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she said in a low voice: "ZZ, I can't see you, but I can feel your storage...... You're here with me, aren't you? ”

Right! I'm right here!

Zhang Chai wanted to respond to Asuna, but he couldn't make any sound, so he could only look at Asuna in tears.

"It's nice to have ZZ with you." As if sensing Zhang Chai's words, Asuna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her pretty face......

This kind of bleak beauty made Zhang Chai feel suffocated and worried.

Asuna must not be left to grieve!

Zhang Chai only had this thought left in his mind, and he was extremely angry in his heart, and struggled fiercely.

As if he had broken free of some kind of restraint, Zhang Chai staggered forward, feeling his body float out like the wind.

And in Asuna's eyes, in the originally empty darkness, a humanoid blue light body suddenly floated out, and she recognized it at a glance, this is Zhang Chai!

“ZZ！” Asuna let go of her hands and ran towards Zhang in surprise.

She grabbed Zhang Chai's waist and noticed that Zhang Chai's body was very light and soft, as if it was made of rubber.

Although he was able to act, Zhang Chai still couldn't speak, so he had to hug her into his arms with his backhand, gently caress her chestnut hair, and tried to give her a trace of warmth and comfort.

Asuna was very useful to nest in his arms, like a lazy kitten, enjoying this hard-won warmth.

Zhang Chai wanted to confide all his thoughts and recent anguish to Asuna, and he tried to struggle fiercely again, trying to speak, but to no avail.

“ZZ…… I can feel all the pain in your heart. Asuna raised her head, stared at the blue face in front of her, and said softly, "I believe that you can continue to be strong, and you must also believe in yourself!" Okay? Well, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, it's fine...... There will come a time when you will take me out of this darkness and let me see the real you again, right? ”

Right!!

Zhang Chai nodded heavily, and couldn't help but clench Asuna's white palm.

Asuna curled the corners of her mouth slightly, her big brown eyes were beautiful and clear, and she said, "I'm so happy." ”

With a sour smile, regardless of whether Asuna could see it or not, he lowered his head and slowly approached Asuna's delicate pink lips, eager to kiss her lightly.

However, before the kiss fell, Asuna pounced, because the blue figure that Zhang Chai had turned into had already dissipated.

Asuna withdrew her hand, and her delicate body crouched down in the dark, her face not showing much sadness.

Now, she has an unshakable belief in her heart, firmly believing that Zhang Chai can take her out of the darkness and see the light again.

……

"Asuna...... Asuna!! ”

After Zhang Chai came to his senses, he suddenly opened his eyes, and sat up from the bed with a loud roar, losing the shadow of Asuna in front of him, and some were only rough wooden walls.

'Asuna? Asuna are you there? ’

He kept calling out Asuna's name in his heart, but he was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he got no response.

"The dream just now...... No, it's not a dream! It's true! Zhang Chai muttered to himself, and then picked up his head irritably, eager to swing his sword to destroy the thing in front of him, in order to relieve the boredom in his heart.

How exactly do you bring Asuna back to the real world?

This problem has always bothered Zhang Chai, and he can't think of it for the time being, but he always feels that there must be some way to solve this problem, but he just doesn't know.

Asuna, you wait, I'll take you out......

Zhang Chai suppressed the anxious feelings in his heart, and his eyes gradually became resolute.

Bang bang!

At this moment, there was a violent knock at the door.

When Zhang Chai wondered who was knocking on the door, the little old man's angry voice shouted outside the door: "Boy! What were you yelling at? Is it hard to be quiet for me?! ”

When Zhang Chai heard this, he got up from the bed depressedly, walked to the door and opened the door, the little old man was standing outside looking at him with an unhappy face.

"It's you, old man, I'm sorry, I had a dream just now, so I accidentally yelled a few times......" Zhang Chai explained embarrassedly.

The little old man put away the anger on his face, looked at Zhang Chai carefully, and said with some surprise: "It turns out that you are a little girl." ”

Due to the replacement of the stabbing customer service, Zhang Chai's feminine appearance is also exposed. He covered his forehead, feeling even more depressed, "I'm really sorry, I'm a man." ”
