In the reception seat of the office, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain had also sat down, and the two of them sat side by side opposite the two silver-haired beautiful girls brought by Williams.

"When we first met, my name was Siluluya, and I was a refugee from the north. Whether it is from the height or the degree of plumpness, it is obvious that she is a sister, and the girl nodded slightly to introduce herself.

"At the beginning, when we first met, I was my sister's sister Lililua. The petite girl who seemed to be her sister also said in a panic, looking a little scared.

"When we first met, I was the president of this guild, Yan Shan Pavilion, Li Mengxi. ”

"Vice President, Naon Hinata. After following Li Mengxi and introducing herself, Hinata Naine immediately looked at Williams, "So, how did you get such a beautiful girl? ”

"Hey, hey!" Williams said with a smug smile on his face, telling the story of the matter.

That was less than three hours ago, when Williams was returning to the city with his training team and was in the middle of a commotion when he arrived at the North City Gate.

When he led someone to check, he found that there was a conflict between what seemed to be an NPC's caravan and the player, and the reason was the sisters Silulua and Lililua, who had followed the caravan.

As Li Mengxi and Hinata Naine saw that they were both quite beautiful, it was not difficult to understand that they were harassed by a few male players who were drunk in broad daylight with the strength of alcohol.

Williams, who understood the situation, was inspired by the heart of justice, so he naturally stepped in to help.

"It sounds like a traditional story about a hero saving beauty. At this time, Hinata said to Williams with a questioning smile.

"It's true. Otherwise, you ask them. Williams said with an aggrieved expression.

"That's exactly what happened. Silulua nodded to Nayin and said, "It was really thanks to Lord Alphonse at that time. ”

"So, are you two merchants?" asked Li Mengxi.

"Nope. Silulua shook her head and replied, "Lililua and I are not merchants, just traveling with that caravan. ”

"They're here to join their relatives. ”

"That's right. Naine said with a strange expression, "But why did you bring it to us?"

Hearing this, Williams curled the corners of his mouth, "Don't be surprised to hear it." Their relatives are the former owners of your place!"

"Eh! it's that scheming uncle!" Just as Nai Yin was taken aback, Li Mengxi calmly picked up the black tea in front of him and took a sip.

Before Nain asked, he had already guessed that the relatives of the two sisters were probably from the store. I just didn't expect it to be the former boss.

"It's a pity. After moistening his throat, Li Mengxi said apologetically, "That uncle took the money we paid and left the city the next day. As for where it went, we don't know. ”

"That's right. That's a pity. Silulua replied with some frustration.

After a moment of silence, Williams spoke, "In that case, what are you going to do next?"

"Hmm......" Siluluya thought for a moment and came up with an idea, "Since it's rare to come to such a bustling big city, I want to find a job for the time being and try to live here." Lililua, what do you think?"

"If my sister decides so, I have no objection!"

"Aren't you going back to your hometown?"

Sure enough, just as predicted, after Li Mengxi said this, the atmosphere of the scene immediately stiffened.

If he could go back, why would he still come to his relatives? Li Mengxi was not unexpected. It's just that since the other party has already crossed paths with several of his own, he must want to know about the reason for "can't go back".

After all, Li Mengxi is not Williams: when you see the weak who are being bullied, your sense of justice will be overflowing. He's not Naon Hinata either: it's all about feeling and making friends with people who feel good.

Williams understands this very well. Probably not to say why, this young man will never give up. However, it is cruel for me to say it twice a day.

"Actually, there's nowhere to go back. Williams spoke for Silulua, winning a grateful glance, "They used to live in a small village in the far north, but that village was attacked and destroyed about a month ago. ”

"No!" Hinata exclaimed at the brutal truth, "Is it a monster!"

"About that. As soon as the village was attacked, the two of them were ordered by their parents to flee through the back door of the house into the woods, so they knew nothing. ”

As Williams's words fell, the room fell silent again. After a while, when everyone's mood eased a little, Li Mengxi spoke.

"Since I'm looking for a job here, I can't wear this kind of villager-style clothes. Can you please give the two of them a more stylish outfit?"

"No problem, just leave it to me. With that, Naon Hinata stood up and walked to the door, "If you don't mind, can you come with me first?"

Silulua and Lililua were a little overwhelmed, but after seeing Williams nodding, they were relieved to follow Nain.

After the girls left, Li Mengxi looked at Williams with a serious expression and said, "You just accompanied them here because you knew this." ”

"It's you. When did you figure it out?"

"I understood it when I heard it. Li Mengxi lowered his head and crossed his hands on his chest and said with a depressed look, "However, just in case, I'd better talk about my speculation." It wasn't the monsters that attacked the village. ”

"I think so too. The two of them couldn't determine what had attacked the village not only because they didn't see it, but because they didn't hear it. If it's a monster attack, since it's all done to the point of a commotion, it should be indispensable to roar. Williams also said with a heavy expression.

"If it's not a monster, it can only be human. Li Mengxi's voice was unusually cold.

"I wonder if it's an NPC fight?" Williams said, rubbing his chin.

"Are you thinking, or do you wish it were?"

“...... Possibly, too. ”

"I don't deny it, but it's small. There are three reasons for this. First, this kind of thing hasn't happened once since I entered this world, so it's an experience. Second, NPCs generally follow their "rules", that is, the settings of the system to carry out their activities, although there is no prohibition of fighting, but there is a clear non-struggle orientation. ”

"After all, if the NPCs themselves are having a lot of fun fighting each other, they won't be able to fulfill their auxiliary functions to the player. ”

"Thirdly, although this is a game world, it is extremely obsessed with authenticity, and everything has a reason. I've read a lot of information in the big underground library, but I haven't found any factors that can break out in the current situation. ”

"Alas!" Williams let out a long sigh, saying nothing, and not wanting to say anything.

"On this premise, I believe in another fact that is more likely than an NPC attacking an NPC. Li Mengxi also said with some sadness, "The player attacked the NPC's village. This is also not unfounded nonsense. ”

"Player thieves, they like to attack NPCs the most. Williams said and gritted his teeth, "Really! How could there be such a guy who likes to play the villain! And why didn't anyone stop their atrocities!"

After the resentment, Williams smiled self-deprecatingly again.

"Huh. Actually, I'm not in a position to say that I've never done anything. ”

It was out of this guilt that Williams would take care of Celulua and Lililua. However, this is only a drop in the bucket of self-satisfaction.

Ever since the NPCs have become more and more human-like, there have been endless incidents of bullying against them, and the thieves are just a representative. And this comes down to the player's fixed perception that NPCs are just game items.

Of course, Li Mengxi believes that people like him and Nai Yin who are increasingly unable to treat NPCs and civilians as simple props are increasing day by day. But the above point of view is common sense that has been formed.

When people who have accepted common sense go against common sense and don't wait for others to say something, they first have the feeling that they have become neurotic. On this basis, not many people will speak out, and then players who see NPCs as human become the obvious minority, and become outliers who are treated in a different light. People who saw their fate were even more afraid to open up.

In this way, a vicious circle has been formed in this matter. As a result, it has led to an attitude that everyone now doesn't care about NPCs being bullied.

This is just like the question asked by scientists in the past: "Can a robot with sentient beings be considered human?"

The answer is, silence.

But is it really good to be silent like this? Li Mengxi always thinks like this from time to time.

If you think about it, it's the game world that makes NPCs closer and closer to humans, and it feels like the world is testing players.

So, shouldn't players do something about it?

"We're back!" At that moment, Naine Hinata pushed the door open and walked in. She was followed by sisters Siluluya and Lilulua, who had changed into new clothes and were a little shy.

Seeing them, Li Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief and stopped thinking about complicated things. He stood up and looked at Williams and said, "In that case, let's go!"
