Chapter 21: The Grey World (1)
Late at night, Li Mengxi sat outside the city wall on the left side of the north gate of Chuye City with a blood-red double-headed spear, like a down-and-out wandering warrior. Whenever a team of players walked out of the city gate, he would cast a wolf-like gaze, and everyone would be terrified and couldn't help but speed up their pace, lest they fall behind and be bitten hard.
And when no one passed by, Li Mengxi was reading the emails sent to him by Naine Hinata one by one.
It's been a year, and it's been a slow and fast year.
And obviously a year has passed, but the last memory Li Mengxi has now is still stuck in the celebration that night a year ago. He and Naon Hinata went shopping together, watched plays together, and danced happily to the campfire together.
Everything after that is just a memory, and it just adds up to a cycle of permutations and combinations of exploring the map, hunting and leveling up, and completing missions.
I don't want to admit it, but maybe the guy was right, he had unknowingly turned into a walking corpse, even if it was the purpose that had to be accomplished.
No matter how plausible the target is, if one is consumed by it...... Although the goal has not changed, people are no longer human.
Li Mengxi no longer understood whether it was his strong will that was supporting him, or whether it was the only insignificant color he had obtained from the emails in front of him that was supporting him.
And even this bit of color was cut off a few days ago.
Li Mengxi's eyes fell on the last email:
Yesterday, I almost died. Why didn't you come to save me as you said yes.
It hurts! Li Mengxi felt unbearable pain in his chest, and he couldn't help but reach out and grab it hard. Is this a mistake in the pain engine, or is it God's punishment for breaking his promise?
At this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded in my ears again. He immediately rolled his eyes and glanced away.
It was a team of four tall boys, led by spears and with short weapons.
Staring at their backs, Li Mengxi smiled, very terrifying, like a beast cracking its bloody mouth at its prey. So, he silently stood up and followed.
Li Mengxi followed the team closely like a maggot on the tarsal bones, all the way deep into the forest.
Finally, the team leader couldn't bear to stop, turned around and yelled at Li Mengxi.
"What the hell do you want to do!"
Li Mengxi stopped, didn't look up, just raised his knife-like gaze and looked at him.
"Nane Hinata, do you remember that name?"
Hearing this, the team leader was slightly stunned and then showed a rather disdainful smile.
"What, are you here to preach? I'll tell you! It's obvious that the little girl is just a waste herself! Because her level is so high, she is still a member of the Raiders' level boss, and she can't even clean up that little monster! However, it still has the effect of a bait to help us retreat safely. ”
It turns out that people who are angry to the extreme, will be as cold as ice.
Li Mengxi opened his mouth and made an eerie sound.
"Don't worry, I won't do something as boring as preaching. I just want you to get a good idea of how she felt that day. By the way, have you had a good time? Otherwise, it will be a shame to pee out for a while. ”
Reading every word clearly, Li Mengxi took a step forward. At this moment, his figure shot out like a cannonball.
At this moment, all four members of this team showed frightened expressions. They are not fools either, and they can immediately compare the strength of both sides from the agility value they see.
The gap is too big, if Li Mengxi wants to kill them, then they will definitely have no power to fight back.
......
That was almost a few days ago, a few days ago, and Hinata Nain didn't remember it and didn't want to think about it.
On that day, she accepted an invitation from a defective team to temporarily team up with them for a hunt. It's not the first time she's done this, so she didn't think it would be any different when she accepted the invitation.
And when she followed the four boys into the field, the inappropriate place was gradually revealed.
Hinata originally promised to be a guard support, but after the actual battle, due to tank problems, Hinata Naon often became a vanguard to resist monster attacks.
At that point, she should have left them in a rage. But under her own unbearable heart and the other party's clever tongue, she finally stayed.
As a result, those guys took advantage of Hinata's kindness and went too far, and in the end, they actually put the responsibility of the entire team on Hinata alone.
It was Hinata Nain's step-by-step concession and her own great strength that eventually led to the tragedy. Those people shamelessly went around provoking monsters to push them to Naine Hinata, and the number of them increased, and there were more and more of them. Eventually, the situation got out of hand.
Then, what they did as soon as they saw that something was wrong was not to work together with Naine Hinata to overcome the difficulties, but to abandon her without even the slightest hesitation.
The blow of being betrayed by a teammate, the loneliness of being alone by the enemy, and the despair of being surrounded by a steady stream of monsters.
It was in this situation that Hinata struggled alone in the depths of the forest for several hours, using up all her props to barely survive. Even more unbearable torture ensued.
With no items available, she endured the burning sensation of MP below the safe line, and with a single-digit HP, she walked alone in the night full of monsters. This means that even a momentary carelessness can be fatal if you take a blow from the weakest monster.
It was a situation where the wind was rumbling, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, and the spirit and body were in a state of limit.
The helplessness that penetrates into the bottom of my heart, the fear that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, is simply the most cruel torture in the world.
And what pained Hinata the most was that the boy who had sworn to protect her no matter what danger happened, no matter how she called, did not appear. You know, she used to think that that person's side was the safest place in the world!
So, since that day, Naine Hinata has developed a sense of fear for everything in the outside world, not to mention the city gate, she has not even taken a step towards the door of her room.
She also knew that she couldn't go on like this forever, and she couldn't bear it. So, after hesitating all day, she mustered up the courage to step out of the room and out into the street, forcing herself to wander in a trembling state.
But no matter how long she walked, she couldn't get rid of her shiver. So she ran into the bar with some self-defeat, and poured a gulp of alcohol into her stomach, hoping to numb her fear by getting drunk.
If Jasmine hadn't happened to pass by, I'm afraid she would still be lying at the bar counter in the bar.
Therefore, there was a rare scene next to the fountain in the central square of the Eastern District in the middle of the night: a young girl was holding another walking and shaking, obviously a drunk girl.
Eventually, under the influence of alcohol, Nane Hinata slumped and sat down by the pool. Although Jasmine has the intention to pull her up, the gap between the two people's ability values is there, and if Hinata Nayin of the combat group can't get up by herself, she will definitely not be able to pull her.
"Really, what the hell, you're a minor, how can you drink like this!" Jasmine scolded angrily.
Hearing this, Hinata Nain smirked and waved her hands wildly.
"What's the matter? Here, it's not the real world! Father and mother are not there! I'm free!"
"You're not called freedom, you're just willing to fall! You're a member of the level boss! This kind of you is not the Hinata Nain I know at all!"
"What do you understand!" Hinata yelled, and then her nose twitched and she cried out, "It's all that guy's fault! Why did you leave me silently! Why! Why didn't you come and save me!"
"Of course he won't come to save you!"
Suddenly, a voice with anger rang out, attracting the attention of the two young girls.
Unconsciously, a black-haired and yellow boy appeared very close, dressed in a pitch-black combat uniform and carrying a one-handed broad-bladed sword behind his waist.
"How can a guy who is in a hurry to find a dead guy save others!" said the young man and took a few steps closer.
This alerted Jasmine, who drew her protective knife and took on a fighting stance.
"Who are you?"
The boy stopped, but he ignored Jasmine and looked straight at Hinata.
"My name is Sinapus, if you want to know about that guy and Li Mengxi's situation, go back and sober up and come to Yanshan Pavilion at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"
At this moment, it was very strange that Hinata Nain's trembling stopped......
