The moment the words fell, everyone fell silent.

Xiao Huai clenched the gold piece and was about to leave.

"boom!"

His heart suddenly felt like it was being grabbed, and his pupils trembled. Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Huai almost lost all strength and leaned against the wall.

He tilted his head back slightly, his Adam's apple trembling violently with his heavy breathing.

It hurts so much…it hurts so much…

pain.

【The Holy Father's Punishment is activated: Feel the pain of the dead.】

Obviously nothing happened, but the fear that struck his brain continued to stimulate him.

In an instant, he was as fragile as an ant. He struggled and resisted continuously, but he could not withstand the force that destroyed everything.

The abyss called death dragged his soul down, his eyes went dark, his chest kept heaving, and his whole body was shaking.

My eyes hurt...

"Ha..." His whole body was tense, but he couldn't stop shaking.

Is this the pain of death?

Every cell in his body was trembling, crushing his blood vessels. The air seemed to contain invisible blades, cutting him open layer by layer with every breath.

Despair spurred him on over and over again.

He suddenly felt as if his eyes were wet, but he knew that they were not his tears.

Rather, the perception of the deceased overlaps with his.

"Azhuolang...what's wrong with you?"

People's voices kept coming to his ears, but he felt that these voices were getting farther and farther away, as if they came from the valley.

His vision went dark, he shook his head, and staggered forward uncontrollably.

Suddenly, something covered his face.

That was Lu Yuanshi’s coat.

The fragrance covered his nose, obscured his eyes, and also obscured his face.

Then no one could see the tears flowing from his eyes.

"Lu Yuanshi..." Xiao Huai's voice was terribly hoarse, and he was even shocked by his own voice.

It sounded hoarse and unpleasant, as if it was burned by flames.

Lu Yuanshi didn't say anything, but just pulled him into his arms and held his shoulders with his other hand.

"Wait, what happened to Azhuolang? Let me help him." Lu Zhi moved forward anxiously.

Lu Yuanshi glanced at him, and in an instant, Lu Zhi felt as if his body was pierced by countless cold nails. The inky eyes brought him unprecedented danger and terror.

He began to tremble uncontrollably and dared not continue speaking.

Lu Yuanshi had a smile on his face, but the smile looked like it was painted on, which made everyone shudder.

He began, "My roommate is going to bed. Do you have anything else to say?"

What the hell...

Sun Xingye opened his eyes wide. What a nonsensical statement. How could the NPC be fine one second and fall asleep the next?

But like Lu Zhi, he felt frightened the moment he saw Lu Yuan.

Such a cautious man is very sensitive to danger.

He had a premonition that if he questioned or refuted Lu Yuan now.

The outcome could be quite tragic.

The real danger might be hidden behind that fake smile.

Xiao Huai held his breath, clenched his fists, and his skin was wet with cold sweat.

If Lu Yuanshi hadn't grabbed his shoulders and lent him strength.

Maybe he is in so much pain that he is sitting on the ground, curled up and trembling.

He rubbed Lu Yuanshi's coat, wiping away the tears that did not belong to him, and his lips bled from biting them in pain.

Xiao Huai shook his head gently, and hooked the corner of Lu Yuanshi's clothes with his knuckles, "I'm fine."

He replied in a low voice and separated from Lu Yuanshi, keeping a certain distance between them.

Everyone was able to see what Xiao Huai looked like now.

There was blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were drooping, the corners of his eyes were red, and moisture was lingering on his eyelashes, but his eyes were as cold as the frost in February.

Just when everyone was still in a daze.

Fireworks began to be set off on each player's system interface, and congratulations were heard over and over again.

"Congratulations to player Chen Kai for completing the side quest and successfully clearing the game!"

"Congratulations to player Chen Kai for completing the side quest and successfully clearing the game!"

"Please learn from Chen Kai and strive to clear the game as soon as possible!"

"What...what..." Everyone was stunned.

Someone has already finished the game.

Side quest?

Does this mean murder?

"Let's go back and see what's going on!" Cheng Shan turned around and ran, and the others followed closely behind him.

Lu Zhi didn't want to leave now, but was taken away by the perceptive Cheng Shan.

As he walked away, he looked back at Xiao Huai every few steps.

Xiao Huai took a deep breath and walked forward, but noticed that Lu Yuanshi was still looking at him.

"Aren't you going with them?" Xiao Huai said softly.

Don't you want to go see what's going on?

Lu Yuanshi turned his eyes away and looked forward: "Rather than the obvious facts, I am more looking forward to the unknown possibilities."

Xiao Huai walked slowly, and from his angle he could just see the mole on Lu Yuanshi's nose bridge.

He remained silent and did not continue asking questions.

Because I don’t have the energy and I’m not interested.

He just kept walking forward, and suddenly, a hand fell on his wrist like a butterfly kissing a leaf, and hooked it carefully.

The body temperature that belonged only to Lu Yuanshi came from his wrist.

Xiao Huai raised his head and glanced sideways, only to see that Lu Yuanshi's brows were slightly furrowed.

He was slightly startled, and in a flash, Lu Yuanshi's expression became the same as before, indifferent.

Lu Yuanshi's knuckles brushed past the corners of Xiao Huai's eyes. "I look forward to the day when you can let down your guard in my arms."

The sound entered Xiao Huai's brain along his auditory nerves. In an instant, a thin electric current seemed to spread from his ear to his whole body.

His heart skipped a beat and blood rushed to his ears. Xiao Huai hooked his fingertips and moved closer to Lu Yuanshi.

A smirk played at the corner of his mouth.

He reached out and lifted Lu Yuanshi's chin, his dark red eyes flashing.

“Then you still need to work hard.”

Lu Yuanshi's pupils shrank slightly, and their breaths were intertwined, as if if he got one step closer, something would be out of control.

But at this moment, Xiao Huai let go of her hand and didn't look back.

The two of them were testing each other as if they were competing.

It seems to really correspond to that sentence.

Whoever falls in love first loses.

Lu Yuanshi looked at Xiao Huai's back, suddenly shrugged his shoulders, and laughed slightly, his laughter was low and pleasant.

He strode forward and held Xiao Huai's hand again: "Then I will work hard."

Xiao Huai pulled his hand away.

Lu Yuanshi caught it again.

This went on and on until Xiao Huai got tired and finally allowed him to hold his wrist.

Maybe it was an illusion, but the place where he held my hand didn't hurt as much.

----

Aledi Hotel.

The players hurried back, and the hotel was already in chaos. Everyone received a system prompt.

Some people had already come out of the room, wondering what was going on.

For example, who died.

Cheng Shan squeezed into the crowd and asked: "Who is Chen Kai? Does anyone know him?"
