Why is the NPC Frightened By Me Again [Infinite Stream]

The sound of the spacecraft landing came from outside the building, and Ellen stood by the window and looked down.

"It's the sound of reinforcements coming." Eva said behind her, "Our reinforcements, our future, have arrived."

Emerald's eyes were blue as she said this, like new spring branches of a willow tree. However, No. 13 behind her just clenched her skirt and said with a trembling voice, "Are we going to leave here now? Where are we going?"

"On the ground." The door was opened from behind them, and the figures of two young people poured in at the same time as the air. "Let's leave the greenhouse and go to the ground."

"But radiation—"

"As early as more than a hundred years ago, the earth was completely suitable for human habitation." The taller young man put on No. 13's shoulders, "You don't have to believe me, but you should believe the results given by the instrument— Come on, let's go to the ground."

"But on the ground..." No. 13 has no concept of the ground, "Where should we go?"

"That place is the place where everyone can be equally happy. In the ancient earth language, we call it 'home'." After speaking, Chu Tianshu patted No. 13 on the shoulder. " Pack up and we'll go to the sky."

The tears of the 13th fell at that time.

The three girls left the room, and only Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu were left in the corridor on the second floor. Chu Tianshu looked at No. 13 who was still crying before leaving, and sighed, "It's really easy for a little girl now..."

"It's easy to be moved, isn't it?" Lin Huai stared at his admiral's face, "for an unproven fantasy, to be able to shed tears. It is this moth that has been living in the dark, Without hesitation, he threw himself into the flames..."

"...It's really easy to be beaten and cry." Chu Tianshu looked at the hand he had patted on No. 13, "You are so thin, you should cry for a long time if you pat it with one palm... eh? Lin Lin, you are leaning against the wall. what?"

"...I really want to say that I don't know you." Lin Huai complained.

The two people walked through the long corridor and finally reached the beginning of the history of the "greenhouse". A huge newspaper was quietly posted in the glass display window.

And in the middle of the newspaper is the photo that Lin Huai once witnessed.

"...I saw the 'crow' here a year ago. At that time, this place was already a greenhouse." Chu Tianshu quietly looked at the two young people in the corner of the photo, "At that time, he had just defected from Chenxing. , and I am responsible for hunting him down."

There was a hint of nostalgia in his voice. Lin Huai didn't know why, but he seemed to feel that he was a little sad, so he comforted: "It's okay, aren't you a traitor of Chenxing now? In your Chenxing, defecting is considered a tradition."

Chu Tianshu: "..."

Seeing that Chu Tianshu was no longer speaking, Lin Huai jumped in his heart and said, "His defection made you sad?"

"Yes." Chu Tianshu said, "In a sense, I am one of his introducers to Chenxing. Crow has always been alone. Later, during a mission, he was appreciated by Chen Liexue. Chen Liexue invited him to join Chen Xing in private. Chen Xing's invitation to the crow was a private matter, and in the entire team, only me, Chen Liexue and another Chen Xing's old man knew. Even Chen Liexue's most trusted Du Chongshan also I don't know the inside story of this matter. After all... Raven's reputation in the high-end field is not very good. Of course, this is not because he dresses like a winery employee in Detective Conan, but because— —His eccentric and extreme behavior. The dungeon world after he left has been greatly subverted. Most people have reservations about his unstable factors. At that time, I, Chen Liexue and another People held a vote in private, as long as there are two approval votes, the crow can join Chenxing."

"Are you sad because you were betrayed by a trusted junior?" Lin Huai looked at him quietly, "You... voted for him?"

"No." Chu Tianshu replied simply, "I voted against."

Lin Huai: "...Then you look like you were betrayed and injured!"

"The other two people voted for it. Chen Lixue believes that although the crow is unstable, it can be used. The other person has always had a good impression of the crow. So I made a request: I agree with the crow to enter Chenxing, but he must be subject to me. regulation, which is—”

"Join my laboratory in Chenxing's territory!" Chu Tianshu said solemnly, "Be my assistant and conduct research on ghosts and games with me—"

Lin Huai: "...Your performance like this always makes me feel that you voted against, just an excuse to let him enter your laboratory."

"Maybe it's because Chen Lixue and Crow have reached some kind of agreement. Externally, Crow is still alone. Except for the three of us, no fourth person knows that Crow has joined Chenxing." Chu Tianshu continued, "He even Chenxing is also like a separate department, separated from others. Three months after he joined Chenxing, Crow never came to my laboratory again.”

"At first I thought that he was just tired of scientific research and dissatisfied with the life of doing experiments in the laboratory all day long. Until Chen Liexue told me that he had defected and would never come back. He left with him, And what he stole, the 'map'."

"'Map'?" Lin Huai recalled what Xia Xingye said, "Is it the map that records the locations of all dynamic passwords?"

"Yes, that is the map left by Gu Chaosheng, the saint of the infinite world. After Gu Chaosheng disappeared, the map made by him was taken care of by Chen Liexue, the captain of Chen Xing. Gu Chaosheng is Chen Liexue's best friend and also Chen Liexue. The reason for entering the game. After getting the 'map', the only thing Chen Liexue can do for the departed friend is to keep this 'map' well, and stick to what the friend left behind, and no one can enter The entrustment of this door. Everyone has only heard of this map, but they don't know that it is hidden in Chen Liexue's hands." Chu Tianshu said slowly, "until this map was stolen by the crow. His goal is to get all the keys through the map, open the forbidden door, and enter the door."

"Actually, I have already noticed his purpose." Chu Tianshu said lightly, "But I didn't stop him. He is... a very stubborn guy. But anyway, I thought that at that time, we had... …already……"

He paused.

"Yes... a friend." He glanced at Lin Huai and finally said.

... Lin Huai felt that he was a little sad.

"...Because of his defection, I was fined by Chen Liexue to lose all my research funds for half a year." Chu Tianshu raised his head and said angrily, "From that moment on, I knew that defection should be done first. …”

Lin Huai, who was stuck in half: ... I don't know whether to sympathize with you or Chen Liexue.

"However, defecting is indeed a glorious tradition of Chen Xing. The first defector was Chen Liexue's half-brother Xia Xingye. After his boyfriend died tragically due to Chen Liexue's decision, he left Chen Xing and became a An intelligence monger. Oh, as the saying goes, if you don't fall in love, there's nothing wrong with it... But what I didn't expect is that even friendship can bring harm to people." Chu Tianshu sighed, " The topic is off topic, pull it back. In short, from the day the crow defected, I left the laboratory. Bringing the crow back - at the beginning, this was not only my idea, but also the task that Chen Lixue gave me. "

"...When we meet and talk in a real sense again, it is in this copy." Chu Tianshu put his hand on the newspaper, "Our first encounter in the game was also in this copy. At that time, he had just been promoted to the advanced field, and he just had a pseudonym, and he didn't have a nickname called 'raven'. This dungeon was originally called 'nuclear winter', and the ground was full of monsters born from radiation, cold and withered... ...We created the Garden of Eden, moved it underground, and we said, this is the hope of all NPCs."

"...This time, he had already obtained 25 keys and was hunted down by everyone. He had just entered the high-level camp when he encountered an assassination from Gangfeng and hurried away. When I found him, he was standing there. In the Garden of Eden. He knew I was going to catch up to him because that's where we first met in the game."

"We saw this refreshed copy, the city in good order, and its inhabitants with happy smiles. And a new term, 'potential criminal'. The Garden of Eden became a greenhouse, and nuclear winter became a civilized world. Event It's not solved, and he said - the virus cannot be eliminated unless the rules are changed."

"—So, you didn't kill him." Lin Huai said quietly.

"Yes." Chu Tianshu smiled, "I just told him, if there is one person who must enter that door, why can't it be me? - Then he stole the seven keys from me and returned to the senior Quester camp on the field, opened the door - when I woke up from the greenhouse and rushed back to the camp, he had disappeared."

"After that, I quit Chen Xing. Later, I found him. Although his appearance was different, I knew that person was him—" Chu Tianshu looked at Lin Huai, "It's you, Lin Huai."

"—you are, Crow."

At that moment, Lin Huai's pupils shrank violently.

Although I had expected it in my heart... he thought, but I was not ready to face it. I was reborn as myself. This kind of plot——

"Although I don't know how you lost your memory, lived in another body, and possessed the power of a Specter, even your memory was replaced. However, no matter how many times you are reborn, I can recognize it. Come out." Chu Tianshu grabbed his shoulder and said seriously, "Because—"

"Only you can do such a rude operation." He said firmly, "My old friend."
