Congratulations, You've Become an NPC

An uneasy and tense atmosphere permeated the entire room.

The boy's body shivered slightly less.

Erin's heart gradually became calmer.

Time is passing slowly,

There was no movement at the door yet.

At this moment, it seemed that that expectation might actually come true.

The situation seems to be developing in the direction Eileen hopes.

but,

This illusion was quickly shattered.

clatter,

Da da da……

Powerful and rapid footsteps sounded near the door, approaching from far away.

Erin's pupils shrank, she hugged the boy tightly, held her breath and pointed the gun at the door.

As soon as the door is opened, her bullet will be fired without hesitation.

"how--"

The young man's body began to tremble violently again.

Fear made his heart start to beat crazily, and uneasiness oppressed his brain, making him subconsciously want to scream.

Fortunately, Erin covered his mouth in time.

"Shhh."

Making a silencing gesture, Erin slowly let go of her hand.

The boy resisted the urge to shout and leaned into Irene's arms.

Irene held him in her left hand and held a machine gun in her right hand.

That's all she can do now.

However, both Erin and the boy knew it.

If those people were the ones who opened the door and walked in, they would have no hope of survival.

Bullets can pierce the flesh, but they cannot reverse reality.

In an instant,

After the sound of footsteps,

The room seemed to be in despair.

It's almost like,

Like people waiting for death to come.

The corners of Eileen's lips curled up, revealing a slight wry smile.

clatter……

The last soft sound,

The footsteps stopped.

Erin knew that the other party was standing at the door.

She held her breath and concentrated.

boom!

The door was kicked open.

Da da da da da——

Flames erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullets shot towards the visitor mercilessly with tail flames.

The young man held a gun in his hand, but he did not take action with Irene.

Fear left him unable to aim and unable to pull the trigger.

All he could do was wait.

-Wait for the gunfire to stop.

"etc!"

A soft drink.

The visitor seemed to have been prepared for the sudden arrival of bullets.

He immediately closed the door and retreated outside.

When Irene's bullets arrived, they only set off bursts of sparks on the door panel, leaving holes one after another.

But, the only thing is, it didn't bring any harm to the other party.

Erin let go of her hand on the trigger, a look of despair on her face.

She was exposed, but the bullet didn't kill the other person.

Then what awaits her next is undoubtedly death.

His own death was nothing to worry about, but as a result, the boy would also die.

Erin knew that she had to live with him.

She knew it.

However, whether you know it or not, whether you can do it or not is another matter.

I thought before that I would try my best to keep him alive.

Now it seems like it's just a fantasy.

Under the opponent's terrifying weapon, everything is hopeless.

"...Will the flame of resistance be extinguished here?"

Erin let go of her arms around the boy and closed her eyes.

She was completely desperate.

"Hope is such a luxury sometimes."

"And miracles are both expensive and despicable."

Erin's wavering was not hidden at this moment.

die,

It will be imposed on her.

"Hey, is that Erin inside?"

"I'm Lan, here to save you on Jim's behalf."

"I'm going to push the door open next. If it's you, please don't shoot."

In this despair filled with darkness,

What gave Erin another glimmer of hope was a voice that had not been heard clearly just now because it was covered up by gunshots.

At this moment, the moment without bullets, she finally heard this somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

She won't forget, her memory is not that bad.

Not long ago, she had communicated with that person.

"……There seems to--"

Erin interrupted herself in time.

She didn't want to experience the shattering of her hopes again, and she didn't want the boy to experience it too.

The first thing to do is to confirm.

She hid behind and looked carefully at the door through a gap.

The gun was still pointed there.

As long as something goes wrong, she will still shoot without hesitation.

This time, it must hit.

"Crunch..."

A jerky voice sounded.

The door full of holes opened again.

Under Erin's gaze, a somewhat familiar face appeared in her eyes.

The other party looked around cautiously, holding a fragment of a door that might have been blasted in front of him.

"Miss Eileen, are you here?"

"I'm Lan, I'm here to pick you up."

She saw Lan calling softly.

Erin still wanted to observe, but the boy couldn't stand the fear anymore and jumped out.

"We are here! Take us away quickly!"

Erin's breathing seemed to have stopped for a moment, until she saw Lan's obviously relieved expression.

Her eyes showed enthusiasm.

A miracle has arrived.

"..."

Arno's eyes were full of indifference.

When he saw the young man jumping out, he almost subconsciously shot him to death.

It wasn't until he heard the boy's words that the coldness in his eyes turned into joy and enthusiasm.

"Where is Miss Irene?"

He asked the young man quickly.

However, he did not wait for the answer first;

Instead, I waited until the young man rushed up to hug me.

And there was a slight feeling of moisture coming through the thin clothes.

"She's behind the desk."

The young man's voice was choked up.

Arno ignored the boy and let him cry in his arms.

His eyes were just looking at the table.

"Miss Eileen, are you there?"

"I'm Lan."

"It's safe outside. Nothing happened. All the enemies should have left."

Arno said warmly.

"Ahhhh!!"

At this time, the boy suddenly let out a scream.

Arno lowered his head and saw the boy almost jumping out of his arms.

"Blood, blood..."

The young man looked at his hands tremblingly,

It was full of bright red color and rich flavor.

"Ah, did you fail?"

Arno smiled and scratched his head.

Only then did Irene see that Arno's clothes were almost completely dyed red.

In three places, it has become a small circle and turned black.

This was an obvious sign of being shot.

Moreover, the places where these bullets get stuck are quite dangerous.

"Are you OK?"

Erin finally confirmed that Lan was harmless, and then stood up from behind the table.

"Well, it shouldn't be considered nothing, right?"

"I feel like I'm seriously injured?"

Arno smiled pretending to be relaxed.

This playful tone made Eileen feel a little more relaxed.
