Chapter 71
Chapter 71
Seeing this, Yuan Chen quickly hugged him and coaxed him, "It's me...why are you still so wronged and unhappy to see me?"
He reached out his hand to wipe away the water from the end of Mingshu's eyes, and kissed the center of his brow.
"I'm not unhappy..." Ming Shu sniffed, and rushed over to hug Yuan Chen tightly.
He didn't expect to see him again, or at such a sudden time.
"I miss you so much," Mingshu raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips, "I thought..."
Yuan Chen said softly: "Think you'll never see me again?"
Ming Shu nodded, and let out a muffled "hmm".
When he first entered dungeon [-], he really thought so. Later, he thought that maybe after clearing this dungeon and figuring out the relationship between several npcs, he could find a way to return to the original dungeon [-] from the system.
But he actually doesn't have any specific method. Guessing is nothing but guessing. It may not be what he wants when it is actually implemented. Moreover, he is in the dungeon and has to follow the system's instructions to complete the task.
"I've always been with you, but I just haven't recovered my memory." Yuan Chen hugged him tightly, with an intimate gesture, "My kitten is so smart, didn't he already guess it?"
This long-lost address made Ming Shu curl up his fingertips unconsciously, and leaned into Yuan Chen's arms again.
"But it's different." Ming Shu looked at this familiar face, "You are different from them."
What's different, he couldn't say for a moment, he didn't spend much time with Yuan Chen at the beginning, and then he left in a hurry.
"Different?" Yuan Chen's expression changed slightly, he pinched Ming Shu's chin, "So Xiao Yu has always used me as a substitute?"
At this time, he seemed to be Xiuqi or Xiyu again. Mingshu recalled everything last night, and said cautiously: "No, no...you are the same person, I know it."
"Well," Yuan Chen saw Ming Shu's nervousness, and said reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, my memory fusion is not stable, it will be fine after a while."
Three memories filled his mind, like three different experiences.
The three souls in the body are fused and repelled at the same time. The merging is because they are of the same origin, and the repulsion is because of Mingshu.
They have all been with Mingshu, kissed and hugged him, and have done the most intimate things with him.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't care, Yuan Chen looked at the well-behaved Ming Shu in his arms, and bit his lips gently.
"Next time...be firmer," his eyes darkened, and his palms rubbed against Mingshu's waist, "don't be taken to bed by me so easily."
Ming Shu blushed, and said falteringly: "But, they are you."
Yuan Chen sighed: "A playful kitten."
Last night, Xiuju said the same thing about him, and forced him to admit that he was a playful fish.
Ming Shu's eyes complained: "I didn't..."
Yuan Chen's hand on his waist reached into his clothes, and his tone was ambiguous: "I have slept with three people, and you still say you haven't?"
Mingshu couldn't listen to this kind of words the most. How could he forget that they were the same person, so their natures were also the same.
He glared at Yuan Chen, struggled to push him away and wanted to swim into the water.
Yuan Chen pulled him back, with a smile in his words: "I won't talk anymore, baby, don't be angry."
Mingshu's struggle suddenly stopped, she raised her head and whispered, "What did you call me?"
"Baby," Yuan Chen yelled again, "Baby kitten, don't you like it?"
Ming Shu's fingertips that clenched his cuffs curled up and then loosened, neither saying he liked nor disliking, leaning into his arms obediently.
He still has many questions to ask Yuan Chen, such as who he is, his connection with the system, and why he can recover his memory.
Before Ming Shu could ask, Pearl swam over from the side and circled anxiously.
Yuan Chen restrained his expression: "They came here."
All the npcs in the dungeon know where he is, and the players must follow him. It will be a matter of time before he finds him.
He hugged Mingshu and stood up, making Pearl transform back: "It's time to go, don't meet them."
Those players have different skills, and it's not so easy to deal with them if they join forces together. Besides, he still has Mingshu with him, so he doesn't want him to be accidentally injured.
Pearl also seems to have noticed that Yuan Chen is different from before, it moved closer to touch Yuan Chen's face with its tentacles, and kept looking at him.
"Okay," Yuan Chen pushed it away, "don't look at it."
He put away the stones supporting the water wall, changed back into the form of a giant snake, and let Ming Shu hide it in his mouth as usual.
Pearl still wanted Mingshu to be with her, but she didn't dare to protest when she saw the giant snake, so she turned her head and stuffed Xia Zhu into her mouth.
Yuan Chen didn't say that he would not let Xia Zhu continue to follow, so Pearl took him as a member of the team and brought him along habitually.
At this time, it was getting dark, and the giant snake was swimming extremely fast in the sea, followed closely by the white jellyfish, which did not stop until midnight.
The new sea area is farther away from the mermaids. If they want to chase them, it will take at least half a day at the speed of those npcs.
Pearl went to look for food nearby, Ming Shu yawned and tried to open his sleepy eyes: "Should it be safe?"
"Well," Yuan Chen said distressedly, "Hold on for a while, eat something before going to bed."
Ming Shu didn't want to sleep at all, so he cheered up: "You know... why they want to target you?"
The fusion of two important characters, Xiuwen and Xiyu, made it impossible for the plot to proceed. The system obviously wanted to use the players to solve this "wrong parameter" npc.
Yuan Chen said "hmm": "Don't worry."
After he restored the memory of the last dungeon, he seemed to know more inside information, and he was no longer an ordinary npc.
"Then..." Mingshu didn't know where to ask, "Who are you?"
Yuan Chen made a gesture of silence, and took Ming Shu's hand: "I can't say it."
Even if he has his own consciousness, his current identity is still an npc in the dungeon. Once he tells everything about the system, dungeon, mission, player, or mentions his past and name, the system will directly erase him from the database Except, there is no chance to reset.
Merging the three levels of consciousness and admitting that he is Yuan Chen in front of Mingshu is already the limit of what he can do.
They are still in the dungeon, they can take advantage of the loopholes in the system, and the rules they should follow must be cautious.
Seeing Mingshu's disappointed face, Yuan Chen squeezed his palm: "I said it earlier, you already guessed it."
This was almost clear, Ming Shu thought of the strange name added to his friend list, hope rekindled in his eyes.
But he still didn't know why Yuan Chen appeared in the dungeon, turned into an NPC, he seemed to be trapped here.
Ming Shu's eyes dimmed, and considering that Yuan Chen couldn't answer many questions, he finally said, "I'm worried about you."
Will Yuan Chen be able to go out with him after clearing the dungeon?But Mingshu felt it was not that easy.
"What should I do now," Ming Shu said confusedly, "Hide first?"
Yuan Chen remained silent, as if acquiescing, and slowly caressed Ming Shu's soft hair with his lowered eyes.
In fact, hiding all the time is not the best way. It seems that the skills of the players are only limited to five days. However, after five days, the npc with wrong parameters has not been eliminated, and the system will continue to take new measures.
The fusion of Xiuwen and Xiyu was planned by Yuan Chen, but he didn't expect the system to notice it, and brought in a group of new players, forcibly changing the single-player dungeon into a multi-player one. Now It even trapped all players, including Mingshu, in the dungeon and added new customs clearance rules.
At present, it seems that his death is the only way to pass the level.
—
Zhuzhu sent Mingshu a few small fish caught in the coral, and also sent Yuanchen two.
Yuan Chen said thank you, and reached out to grab it: "It's Guji."
Ming Shu raised his head suddenly: "Hey!?"
He was pleasantly surprised, but not very surprised. He had suspected it a long time ago, but when he called Guji's name, Pearl didn't respond at all.
Pearl couldn't understand the conversation between the two, but felt that the "Xiu Qi" in front of him looked very strange. He actually said thank you to herself just now.
It touched Yuan Chen's skin little by little, and fell into doubt and confusion. His body suddenly swayed, and Ming Shu hugged him.
"I knew it was you." Mingshu held the half-palm-sized white jellyfish and touched its round body with his hands. "No wonder I thought you were cute the first time I saw you."
Pearl understands that Ming Shu is praising it, and happily rubs against his cheek.
Xia Zhu always sat not far away, so that Mingshu could see him at a glance, but would not hear their conversation.
He ate the little fish given by Pearl, hesitated for a moment, and sent Mingshu a private message.
[Private Chat] Xia Zhu: What should we do now?
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Don't worry, I will definitely not do anything to the leader of the sea snake
[Private chat] Xia Zhu: The task is also suspended, if we want to leave, we have to find another way
He also noticed that Xiuyun is definitely not an ordinary npc, he looks so much like Xiyu, and Xiyu is the one who is far ahead in the leaderboard...Mingshu seems to have asked him before, do you know? Know what the first name is.
Xia Zhu quickly stopped the thoughts in his head, he couldn't continue to think about it, sometimes knowing too much is of no benefit at all.
[Private Chat] Ming Shu: I don’t know either
He felt uneasy, asked Yuan Chen tactfully, and told him about the suspension of the mission.
"Pause?" Yuan Chen pondered: "Then try, can you continue."
"How to do it?" Ming Shu was puzzled.
Yuan Chen adjusted his posture, hugged him and lay down: "Sleep first, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Ming Shu was really sleepy, so he yawned again, tucked into Yuan Chen's arms and closed his eyes.
—
It was a safe night, no creatures came near to disturb.
After Mingshu woke up, he kept thinking about what Yuan Chen said last night, and asked him what he should do.
Xia Zhu was also there, Yuan Chen didn't shy away from him.
"Just trying," he said, "it might work."
As soon as the words fell, the sea water around Yuan Chen suddenly began to boil, and the tumbling and surging water wrapped him tightly, and it was almost impossible to see the figure inside.
Mingshu was very anxious, worried about what happened, but fortunately, the water flow calmed down soon.
"Xiuqi" disappeared in place, replaced by a black-tailed mermaid, except for the color of the tail and hair, it was exactly the same as the previous "Xiyu".
Xia Zhu took a gulp of the cold sea water: "So it can be changed back?"
At the same time, both he and Mingshu received a system prompt.
[Pause at the end of the task and start normal operation, please continue to work hard]
[Reminder: The npc with wrong parameters has not been cleared, please continue to work hard]
Two consecutive system prompts, the player can either continue to complete the task now, or kill the npc with wrong parameters according to the previous meaning of the system.
"So the mission was suspended because Xiyu disappeared?" Xia Zhu stroked her chin, "Xiyu appeared, and the mission can continue again."
The mermaid campaign has long since disappeared, and it is definitely impossible for other players to continue doing the missions. Mingshu is the only one who has successfully completed the other mainline missions.
Yuan Chen wanted him to clear the level in a normal way, so that players including Xia Zhu should be able to leave.
Xia Zhu immediately opened the system panel: "What is the fifth main task... Expose the disguise and accept the trial?"
What is described in the plot is that the liquid on Silver Tail just lost its effect and returned to its original appearance in front of Xiyu.
The usage time limit of the liquid is fifteen days. Ming Shu has used the liquid as early as in the Sea Snake Clan, and it is just a few hours before it expires.
Xia Zhu's eyes lit up when she found out: "Then in a few hours, Mingshu should be able to complete the task!"
It's just that I don't know how to complete "accepting the trial"... Xia Zhu had a vague premonition, but didn't say it.
Yuan Chen looked sideways into the distance: "Leave here first."
Those npcs and players were really inseparable, and they followed them again.
He was in the form of a mermaid at this time, so he couldn't continue to bring Mingshu with him. In the end, the three mermaids were all stuffed into the soft cavity by pearls.
Pearl shook her chubby body, and Xiuju turned into Xiyu in front of it, making it a little uncomfortable, but it still recognized that whether it was a sea snake or a mermaid, this was indeed its master.
It cheered up and swam quickly towards the distance.
In the late afternoon, the liquid on Mingshu's body was about to exceed the time limit, Pearl found a quiet sea area to release them.
Yuan Chen who turned into a mermaid was right in front of him, and Ming Shu nervously watched the countdown on the panel.
At the moment when the timer ended, Mingshu received several system prompts.
[The props are invalid, and the appearance will be changed soon]
[A new plot update has been detected, do you want to check it immediately? 】
[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the main mission five!Please keep up the good work! 】
