Game time AM11:21

Northwest Continent, the end of the dragon clan, the ruins of the [Chrono Tower], the second-floor small workshop

"Well, what happened today..."

Mo Tan opened his eyes with difficulty, rubbed his slightly aching forehead, and muttered in a low voice: "The situation of 'fragmentation' early in the morning is really not good. Although I won't be worried for most of the day, I still can't." It interrupted the noise nuisance when I was nervous, but it was still difficult to adapt to it.”

Although I have now generally determined that my 'that side' is not out of control, or that although it is always out of control but incapable of causing various vicious events, the experience of being forcibly 'fragmented' every time will still not get better. After all, when he switches between the three states of 'lawful good', 'absolute neutrality', and 'chaotic neutrality', he can still trigger a [premonition] (absolute neutrality is the foresight of the wise). It can be regarded as a psychological preparation, but if it happens It is the top number of 'Fragmentary', not to mention the [Premonition] talent of 'Mo' and 'Tan Mo', even the most maneuverable [Wise Man's Foresight] cannot be taken into consideration, and there is still no reaction time at all. .

This kind of 'routine accident' that cannot be controlled in any case has always troubled Mo Tan, no matter when it was.

But this is an unsolvable problem after all. No matter how much he worries, he can't find any solution, so at this stage, he can only complain.

Fortunately, although the time of the 'Fragment' is erratic, it rarely drops out of control at critical moments. Even when Mo Tan was fighting in Misha County, he was suddenly switched to the level of 'Chaotic Neutral' at a critical moment. It didn't cause any problems, which was quite gratifying.

As for the reason why he can murmur his privacy so brazenly, it is naturally because he is the only one in this empty abandoned workshop. The girl who said good night to him when he went offline yesterday is not here.

"She should have returned to Tianzhu Mountain."

Mo Tan shook his head and put his uneasy thoughts to the back of his mind. He slowly stood up from the ground while holding on to the wall and let out a breath. He couldn't help but think of the beautiful sunny girl who exuded amazing vitality all the time.

After spending so long together day and night, he felt a little uncomfortable when the other person left so suddenly.

Although I was mentally prepared when I was in the Diesel family, and the two players could send messages to communicate at any time, after experiencing yesterday's series of quite exciting adventures, they discussed it with classmate Ah Sang. After talking about various epic topics about 'time', Mo Tan still felt a little bit sad when his partner left, so much so that he couldn't help but start to recall the appearance of the other person.

Well, in fact, there is nothing to remember. After all, no matter who it is, as long as they see Ji Xiaoge when she is not wearing headgear, it is basically impossible to forget this girl's extremely beautiful appearance.

"But...thinking about it carefully, it still feels a bit strange..."

Mo Tan frowned slightly, and while massaging his tail (I accidentally got a cramp when I went online just now), he whispered: "It's just a headgear. It's neither plastic surgery nor Photoshop. The appearance before and after it is completely removed." They’re the same, so why are there so many different feelings? Is it really just because of the [Qingguo] talent... But if that’s the case, why is it still affected even after exiting the game?”

This is a question that has troubled him for a long time...

Although Ji Xiaoge had already shown him the details of the [Qingguo] talent, and besides [Looking at Qingrenguo again], there are two other talents, namely [Left from the world and independent], [Looking at Qingren again] Mo Tan was well aware of the effect of Rencheng], but this still could not explain the opponent's almost foul charm.

Although it can be easily explained by the almost omnipotent explanation of 'skill effect', Mo Tan always feels that the matter is not that simple, because it is not that he has never seen the so-called 'spiritual influence' in the world of innocence. , one of the more representative ones is the Whispering Cult in Violet’s civil war. Mo Tan learned from the interaction with Futaba afterwards that even the latter, as a player, was affected. He almost missed hundreds of assassins right under his nose, and finally found out the clues by relying on the records in his friends' messages.

But this is still not enough to explain Ji Xiaoge's appearance problem, because as far as Mo Tan knows, no matter what the circumstances, any impact the player receives in the game will never affect reality. He even dedicated a special post in the forum Collected relevant information.

However, when Mo Tan thought and recalled carefully, he realized that Ji Xiaoge in reality still had... some kind of indescribable charm.

Although it is very subtle, it is completely incomparable to when the girl activates [One Glance at the Charming City] in the game, but it still exists, it does exist!

He still remembers the day he went out to the mall to buy cat food in early January. He was stunned for half a second when he ran into Ji Xiaoge.

Although he didn't think anything was wrong at the time, when Mo Tan saw Ji Xiaoge without hair accessories several times in the game, he finally thought of the previous encounter outside the game.

Different magnitudes, same amazingness.

Adding the previous premise that 'the appearance has not changed at all', things become a bit weird.

Based on the unit of lethality, the order from light to heavy is probably 'Ji Xiaoge wearing head equipment in the game', 'Ji Xiaoge in reality', 'Ji Xiaoge not wearing head equipment in the game' , and the theoretically limited 'Ji Xiaoge who does not wear headgear in the game and actively activates [Looking at the Qingren Kingdom Again]'.

No matter which one of the above states, the girl's appearance has not changed. The only difference is that her hair is short in reality, and the impact is not big.

So here comes the question...

Why do the same people with the same appearance have completely different charm and lethality under different circumstances?

The most realistic explanation is: because I have been at home for a long time and have been single for many years, it is amazing in real life, because of the talent effect, it is amazing in the game, and it is usually fine because I am used to it and the talent is not triggered.

But that's not right...

Although he didn't know why or what was wrong, Mo Tan just felt that something was wrong at this moment.

Combining the game, the real situation, and some things he has summarized over the years, Mo Tan always feels that Ji Xiaoge is not able to win over the country only because of the increase in characteristics unique to the game.

And to take a step back, the player's [talent] in the game is itself a talent in the literal sense. To put him at his own distance, no matter the [affinity] as a 'Black Brahma', or the [cunning] as a 'Tan Mo' ] and the [Dedication Spirit] and other talents that he currently possesses as 'Mo', are all his own characteristics. Even the talents obtained during the game such as [Noble] and [Unfaithful] are all in line with his own qualities. It is related to behavior or mentality and is not a product of nothing.

By analogy, what if Ji Xiaoge’s [Qingguo] is the same?

So will there be another infinite and almost whimsical explanation for this problem, that is, this girl originally had extraordinary appearance, but it was 'corrected' in the game because of the talent of "Left from the world and independent" ?

But if this is really the case, how can we explain that Ji Xiaoge outside the game did not cause much commotion? This is not a problem that can be concealed by cutting your hair to shoulder length.

Or is it that her charm has been 'corrected' outside the game?

What is inside the game is the system, but what is outside the game?

Is it the 'mystery' that I have long been aware of but never dared to cross the line?

Or something else...

Mo Tan, who gradually began to have random thoughts, couldn't help but worry about the other party.

This is indeed a very serious question. You must know that the real world is not as good as the realm of innocence. If Ji Xiaoge has the same charm outside the game as he does in the game, it will definitely be very dangerous. matter, both to herself and to others.

As her friend, even though Mo Tan in the game was not equated with Mo Tan in reality due to special reasons, Mo Tan couldn't help but worry.

He recalled Ji Xiaoge's appearance and tried hard to prove that his worries were unfounded, but he gradually discovered that the girl in her daily state in his memory had become somewhat distorted, although he could clearly restore her every move and look in his mind. When I smile, I feel that I see mountains but not mountains and water is not water.

For example, when we look at a certain Chinese character, although we can recognize it at first glance, as long as we stare at it for a long time, we will find that we gradually do not recognize it.

It was a sense of confusion that was hard to describe, but it was definitely there.

Ever since, Mo Tan started to freeze in this sense of confusion...

[Legacy… to………… decline…]

In a daze, a voice seemed to ring in Mo Tan's ears, but he didn't hear it clearly. It wasn't until he suddenly came back to his senses more than ten minutes later that he remembered what he seemed to have missed.

But that doesn't matter.

The important thing is that you must not think about it anymore!

It’s best to completely seal this doubt from today!

As for Ji Xiaoge's comfort, not to mention that he lived peacefully into his twenties without causing any commotion. Even if there were any problems, what help could he, an ordinary person, do?

It's just a fuss...

Mo Tan shook his head and laughed dryly without meaning, but felt a sense of fear in his heart.

If I had just been in a daze for a little longer, maybe...

"Ah! Mo, you are online! You came up so early today!"

"Sure enough, you are still hallucinating..."

Mo Tan sighed, flicked his forehead, and murmured in a low voice: "It really hurts my brain."

"Why why? Are you uncomfortable in any way? Is it the effect of this tower? Then why am I still fine!"

As exquisite as a work of art, the girl who seemed to have the right to interpret all words of praise fluttered her wings and flew over. She put her two little hands behind her back, tilted her head and looked at Mo Tan playfully, with pure and faint concern in her eyes. , asked in a long voice: "Are you okay?"

"Well?!"

Mo Tan didn't realize until now that the beautiful girl in front of him was not an illusion, but the real, lively Ji Xiaoge.

"Uh what uh! People are asking if you are okay!"

Ji Xiaoge rolled his eyes, wrinkled his nose and said, "Didn't you say that you have brain pain? What kind of pain is it? Is it low blood pressure? Do you want to go offline and rest for a while?"

Mo Tan looked away from the other person's pretty face and twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly: "No, I'm fine. I just said that casually..."

"Oh, I know."

The girl nodded vigorously, with a bright smile: "Just like when people say their balls hurt, it doesn't really mean they hurt, right?"

Mo Tan's forehead was covered with sweat at that time. He was stunned for a while before he laughed dryly: "That's it, that's it... Having said that, I thought you had returned to Tianzhu Mountain. The cooling of the transmission beacon should be Is it over already?"

"It must be over. After all, it's only ten hours."

Ji Xiaoge shrugged and said with a smile: "But it's ready for use anyway. You can go back anytime. And I suddenly thought that you might be a little bit reluctant to leave me. You didn't withdraw immediately after going online and kept walking outside." Here comes the pig."

"Walking...what are you walking for?"

"Walk the pig~"

Ji Xiaoge chuckled, shook the "Iron Mane Book" that was used for experiments before, and smiled: "That's it. Didn't Ah Sang add two new functions to it before? In addition to In addition to the original thorny book, there are two additional forms: the ordinary book state and the summoning [Ironmane Porcupine Soul]."

Mo Tan then thought about it and it seemed that there was indeed such a thing. Yesterday, before Ah Sang went to help him with his work, he specifically said that this book was given to them. After reading the description of the item, Mo Tan said that the style of this thing was similar to his own. It didn't match well, so I finally decided to give it to Ji Xiaoge to use.

How come I forgot about it...

"Mo, you are really a little strange today!"

Ji Xiaoge looked a little surprised and looked at Mo Tan suspiciously: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your body? Don't hold on. Whether it is pain in the balls or brain, if it is too serious, you must go to the hospital."

Mo Tan stared blankly at the stern-faced winged beautiful girl in front of him. After realizing that the other party was indeed serious, he waved his hands in a fit of laughter and tears: "No, no, I just haven't slept a little in the past two days. Well, it's just right for playing games." It’s like catching up on some sleep.”

"Really? That's good~"

Ji Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave him a playful wink...

"So, am I right? Are you a little reluctant to let me come?"

…

Mo Tan's head started to hurt again.
