【Quan Zhen】According to the script, we should kiss now?

【30】

You Mu lay in a daze on the hard single bed, he couldn't fall asleep, the system didn't skip the night with a black screen, and he didn't have any new tasks to pass the time.He looked at the ceiling that merged into the night, there was nothing there, except for a small, inconspicuous fluorescent blue spot——wait a minute, Yuki was stunned, he clearly took off his glasses, and he could barely see Seto who was leaning against the end of the bed. How come the tiny light spots on the ceiling can be seen clearly?

If you look closely, the shimmering light like a firefly that flickers from time to time is a bit familiar, almost exactly the same as the light of a butterfly on the back of his hand.You Mu hurriedly went to raise his hand, sure enough, the totem also felt a faint blue light, as if it had sensed something.Yuki looked at the ceiling again, but the spot of light there was gone.

Like a hallucination, Yuki rubbed his eyes tiredly, speaking of which, how long has he been playing this game non-stop?Although the in-game time algorithm is far shorter than reality, it can add up to a considerable amount.I don't know if my mother will find out that he disappeared?But it's the new year, and she's all focused on work, and she has no time to take care of herself on vacation.Rather than worrying about being discovered by his family, Yuki is more afraid that Sena will notice something abnormal-although Sena easily believed his flawed statement when he "accidentally" broke into his room, but it has been a long time since he left Sena's house. It's been a while, will the other party call me out of concern?It would be terrible if no one answered...

The more You Mu thinks about it, the more uneasy he becomes, but there is no option to save and exit the game. He is like a wanderer trapped on an isolated island. Only by building a raft step by step can he pass the level and return to the familiar real world.

To distract himself, he clicked on the butterfly menu. The UI is different from Phantom Thief World. In addition to the name and position, the character introduction also has HP and MP slots.You Mu found that his blood bar was full, but his mana was only half of it. Obviously, the previous battle consumed a lot of mana.Fortunately, the MP slot will automatically recover. Although the speed is a bit slow, it is better than nothing.He switched to the equipment interface again, and it turned out that his complicated robe not only symbolized the status of a magician, but also had the function of enhancing the effectiveness and defense of spells.According to the text description, the sapphire inlaid on the chest is priceless at first glance. It is an item specially given to him by Renmi before departure. It can help the magician recover MP, so that he will not even have to use the fire spell when he runs out of ammunition and food in the wilderness. Can't read it.

After playing a lot of self-made RPGs, Yuki is very grateful for the existing equipment.Since he couldn't sleep, he carefully studied the magic that he could use to prepare for the battle that would appear at any time.

Sena who was leaning on the end of the bed moved, Yuki looked over secretly and found that the other party was wiping the weapon, the floating ash in the attic was flowing in the air, washing away silver ripples around him.Sena yawned softly, he had tried his best to restrain himself, but the room was too quiet, Yuki could hear it clearly.

A string of options in thin fonts emerged from the moonlight.

{talks to Sena; remains silent}

Recalling the previous interaction, Yuki, who has experienced many battles, feels that it is not suitable to speak now.Pretending nothing happened, he turned sideways, facing the moonlit floor, and began to read Sena's introduction.

Different from Sena's painting style in reality, he on the board is more like a vertical painting in the game, but he really looks like a knight in a fantasy world.As a brave and skilled knight, Sena's HP gauge and physical attack power are almost twice that of Yuki's, his agility and defense are high, and his MP gauge is not long, a typical DPS player.Yuki glanced at Sena's attack moves, and thought, if he could choose the character to control, this knight would be his perfect first choice.Although in the several world lines he has experienced, Yumu is mostly a support type, but in reality, as a high-level player, he always prefers to use a character with high output damage such as a swordsman and a sharpshooter when playing online games, and he will instinctively respond to similar characters. The role of the class generates a favorable impression.

I don't know if there will be a world line in which I am a berserker. If that is the case, I really want to experience it for myself.He was thinking wildly, and suddenly felt a cold gaze on his neck.He turned around, but there were only bare walls.

"What, can't sleep?"

Sena's voice came from the end of the bed. Obviously, as a person who should be asleep, Yuki made too many small noises.

"It's nothing..." Yuki said, closing the butterfly menu.He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep, but soon the cold gaze entwined again, precisely strangling his throat in the dark night, Youmu woke up with a start, his back covered in cold sweat.

"What's the matter?" Sena looked over impatiently, but Yuki didn't seem to notice him at all, staring at the corner of the skylight with all his attention.

A palm-sized round eyeball was reflected on the dirty glass, blood-red, and the erect pupil like a cat's eye was like a split shuttle, staring straight at the two people in the attic.A wing that was so transparent that it was almost invisible drooped beside the eyeballs, and the moonlight clearly illuminated the blood veins on the thin wings, as well as the sharp claws like a giant mouse.

"Dead omen bat..." Yuki mechanically read out the noun that popped up on the lens aid.

Sena was stunned: "That kind of bats like to live in groups and prey, so they can't stay here anymore."

As if to verify his statement, the screams of monsters could be faintly heard outside the window one after another.Youmu is close to the glass window, overlooking the empty street, swarms of bats cast chaotic shadows on the pale road, like a flock of crows waiting for their prey.A slender shadow different from a bat gradually approached, and Yuki couldn't help but hold his breath.

"Maybe we won't be able to leave from the front."

Sena inserted the sword into the sheath, following the direction of Yuki's finger, he saw the skeleton soldiers attracted by the bat swarm.It was a gigantic monster that was several times bigger than what they had seen before. Its facial bones seemed to have been corroded by concentrated acid. It was scorched yellow and black, and its face was completely unrecognizable. The spiked mallet slowly approached the weapon shop where two living people were hiding.

"If you lead that guy indoors, maybe you can trap him." Sena narrowed her eyes, thoughtful.

"But we still have to avoid the group of bats. If we are possessed, the bone marrow will be drained." Youmu said worriedly.

"You know the short-term defensive skills, right?" Sena no longer looked out the window, but quickly equipped the weapon: "Bats are bloodthirsty, when I lure them away, You Jun put a defensive cover on himself and ran outside , this whistle can summon my horse, it is almost dawn, and it is not a problem to escape before being surrounded by all the skeletons."

Yuki accepted it dubiously, Sena's plan seemed reasonable, but there was always something wrong.

"What about Sena-san?"

"It's just dealing with the skeleton for a while, do you think I can't even do this?"

"But in case Mr. Sena is also trapped—"

"It's okay, are you underestimating me?"

"..."

Yuki pursed his lips, he didn't say anything, Sena's words and deeds set up a textbook-like death flag, which is a taboo in the game.

Sena seemed to realize that her tone was too aggressive, and added reluctantly: "Instead of caring about me, why don't you worry about You Jun's own safety first?"

I have to admit that this is true.You Mu felt unwilling, and suddenly remembered his mana, which was recovering slowly but had a worrying margin.Right now, he still has one big magic that he can sing, but the remaining magic power will not be enough to attack the enemy, or even cast a small amount of healing spell or boosting spell that restores blood. That is too risky, if Sena gets hurt It's too bad if you can't do anything about it.

Sena walked down the stairs and lined up the weapons in the shop. Those old irons would become Sena's assistants to restrain the enemy's actions.He pulled out the ice sword and cut the palm of his hand without changing his face. The dark red blood flowed down the palm lines, and Sena didn't even frown.

"Ready?"

He motioned for the magician to follow behind him.

Yuki's eyes fell on the slightly rusted weapon, and he had a flash of inspiration. He excitedly grabbed Sena's forearm. The latter wanted to complain in pain, but seeing his shining green eyes, Sena Ming suddenly forgot what to say.

"I have an idea, I need Mr. Sena's help!"

A gust of wind blew open the crumbling door of the weapon shop, and the sweet smell of blood attracted bats to swarm in. They blocked the door and even blocked the way of the skeleton soldiers.

In the innermost part of the shop stood a knight in blue robe, blood slipped from his hand and dripped on the rusty iron weapon.He faced the terrifying monster calmly, even if the opponent would tear him to pieces in the next second, the knight never showed the slightest timidity.

A golden thread that should not have appeared at the tip of the ice sword flickered, and with the sound of electric sparks, it ignited the cramped space filled with iron objects.

Just when the skeleton soldier's spikes were about to touch the knight, the magician who was behind him just finished reciting the lengthy thunder spell. It was not a powerful spell, but it was infinitely strengthened by the weapons connected in series in the entire room. , as if the thunder of the whole world gathered here, the deafening loud noise and the white light like the scorching sun exploded in the small shop, all colors and sounds were erased, only the small protective cover that accommodated the knight and magician was safe and sound .

Everything was silent, and even the bats clustered around the door were reduced to ashes.Yuki, who had almost exhausted all his magic power, managed to collect the remains of the skeleton, couldn't hold on any longer, staggered and fell down, but fortunately, he was caught by Sena to avoid falling to the ground in embarrassment.

And Sena was not much better, although Yuki's magic shield offset most of the pain and electric shock damage for him, but no one knew how much mental strength it would take to hold the sword that summoned Thor firmly, Most of his blood tank was empty, but he didn't seem to have any trauma, even Yu Mu was deceived by him.

The two fell to the ground, the smell of burnt sawdust and fur wafted in the air, Sena blew his whistle, he couldn't care less about attracting more enemies at this moment, they were all exhausted, the only way to escape from this place was to get on their horses as soon as possible A dead city.

The whistle echoed in the empty city, lonely and desolate.They waited silently, but the sound of horseshoes was not heard for a long time.

You Mu closed his eyes, his heart was still beating violently, the night before sunrise was too quiet, the breath in his ears was the only sound that reassured him.He felt that Sena, who was holding him, put down his whistle. Did even the owner of the horse finally give up?

"Will we die here..."

With no supplies, no mana, no mounts, and even broken weapons, the dawn of ending the nightmare cannot be waited for.

"I don't want to die in a place like this," Sena made a disdainful nasal voice, even though his voice trembled from blood loss, he still insisted on putting on a haughty posture, "It would be terrible if I was mistaken for dying with a man gone."

Yuki laughed intermittently: "Then, Mr. Sena, please let go of the arm holding me."

"It's just a magic trainee, but you still dare to order me, isn't it too arrogant?"

"No, I'm serious, Mr. Sena, please let me go first."

As Yuki said, he put his hand on Sena's wrist, and he realized that the other's wrist was cold and greasy, and it was covered with blood to the touch.

"Tsk, don't move around, it's super annoying."

Although he said so, Sena still relaxed his arms, and he seemed to have given up calling for his beloved horse. His hand holding the whistle dropped, his back was still straight, his face was pale, but he was not in a panic.

But when Yuki turned his head to look at Sena, he realized that all this was just a bravado of the knight.The blood gutter that was constantly glowing with a warning red light on his shoulder was almost bottomless, let alone a skeleton soldier, even if he was stabbed by a blunt knife, it would kill Izumi Sena.

"How could it be so badly injured..." Yumu murmured guiltily. He thought he had thought of a perfect solution and tried his best to strengthen the protective cover, but he underestimated the lethality of the enhanced lightning. Because Senago was in front of him and blocked most of the damage for him, and he naively thought that his defensive technique was very successful.

"I'm sorry, blame me for being too self-righteous..." Yuki's tone trembled, and he put his hands close to Sena's chest, trying to heal her with the last bit of mana.But he was shaking so much that he couldn't even say the spell smoothly.

Sena smiled instead: "Isn't it self-righteous to take all the responsibility on myself without authorization? This is just my momentary carelessness, and it has nothing to do with You Jun."

Leaning on the stairs, he pulled out an arrogant smile that was still a bit irritating: "As a magician, you have worked hard."

Yuki bit his lower lip, his vision was a bit blurred, but he didn't want to cry in front of Izumi Sena, it would be like compromising to the knight and admitting that he was powerless.

It must not be like this.

His palm was pressed against Sena's front, and he could vaguely feel her heartbeat.Just now, Yuki's MP gauge has just recovered to a critical point. He can directly cast a healing spell to prevent the continuous blood loss damage after the electric shock, but he cannot restore more blood volume for Sena.Although relying on the power of the magic gemstone, he could wait for his MP to recover before casting spells, but the knight would probably die before that.

Or... Youmu looked at the two lines of subtitles that appeared in front of his eyes, he had never been so looking forward to the option as at this moment.

{casts heal; utilizes the Philosopher's Stone}

The second choice is obviously a way of killing the chicken and taking the eggs, just like taking off all the godly costumes and going one-on-one when the final boss battle is approaching, it is irrational and a stupid decision that will be criticized by the great magician Lianmi for three days and three nights.

But so what.

Yuki untied the ribbon on his chest, and took off the azure sapphire that always glowed charmingly.

"You Jun?" Sena vaguely guessed Yumu's intentions, he was also a person who dealt with the magic guild, so he naturally knew that the gem on the magician's chest was as important as their lives.

"Are you crazy, this is your protective stone!"

Yuki turned a deaf ear, he quickly recited the spell silently, the sapphire shone brightly in his palm, and floated in front of Sena.

"Don't do stupid things!"

Before Sena finished his sentence, the stone shrouded in the light blue light seemed to melt, turning into a flowing liquid, drilling into his chest, Sena stopped talking as if frozen, the light of the gemstone still penetrated the flesh His clothes and clothes were scattered outwards, and his whole body looked a little transparent, but his pale face gradually turned red.

"Healing Sena-san is not a stupid thing."

After silently reciting the fusion spell, Yumu felt relieved. Although his MP had been completely emptied, and he didn't have the gem that blesses life and restores mana points on his body, his face was stained with blood and sweat from chanting the spell, and his hair was disheveled. He still smiled contentedly, like the clear morning sun after a long dark night, bright and warm.

"As a magician, I'm doing pretty well, right?"
