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

【12】

Yuki and Sena spent two days exploring the wilderness around the town. On the way, they met many hooligans who tried to kill them, and caught a few bullies, but there were no clues about the lobster.

"The boss who hired us is very cruel. The dog you are looking for is probably dead."

You Mu's face darkened, even if he was just a player, he had already been infected with the character's love and worry for the German Shepherd in the game.Seeing his reaction, Sena pressed the revolver hard against the bully's forehead.

"Ouch again, and I'll send you to hell."

The villain, who had suffered from the whip and the lasso, shrank and lowered his head.Sena said coldly: "If you are willing to tell where your boss has gone, I can consider letting you live."

"I only heard that they are going west..."

After getting enough information, Sena ignored the bully's pleading and simply ended the other's life neatly.

Blood and brains splashed down at Youmu's feet, even though he had played many games with bloody and violent scenes, it was still uncomfortable to be there.However, this body seems to accept blood well. Obviously, Yuki in this world is used to corpses.

Sena seemed to mind Yuki's silence a bit: "You don't think I really want to spare him?"

Yuki turned to look at him, and there were two options beside Sena: {You are more cruel than I thought...; Is my opinion important? }

For some reason, Yuki felt that the character he played would not mind that Sena killed people without blinking an eye. In this turbulent world where human lives are as insignificant as ants, the benevolent heart of the Virgin Mary should not be used as a yardstick for condemning others.

What's more, he was curious about how the second option Sena would react.

"Does my opinion matter?"

Sena raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "It sounds like You Jun cares about me?"

Yuki was speechless.The system didn't give him the option to continue to fight back, and there was no chance to speak. Just as they wrapped the corpse's head in a burlap bag and were about to leave, there was a commotion at the door, as if someone was struggling to scratch the wooden door.

Sena, who had a gun and strength, walked in front as a matter of course. He reloaded the gun, carefully leaned close to the wall, and pressed the handle.

Suddenly, there was an excited dog barking outside the door, and the pace became more rapid as You Mu approached.The two exchanged glances, and Yuki called tentatively: "Lobster?"

A louder cry answered him.Sena opened the door suddenly, a brown and black dog rushed in, and threw Yuki to the ground impatiently.

In reality, although Yuki likes small animals very much, he doesn’t have many opportunities to interact with furry animals. The one he has seen the most is Daikichi from the Star Family, but the momentum of the little Shiba Inu is far less violent than that of the German Shepherd.Yuki was licked with saliva all over his face, he was so tickled that he giggled.

Sena looked at one person and one dog reminiscing about the old days, and said impatiently: "It's almost enough? It's super annoying to stay in this kind of place all the time."

"Sorry." Youmu stood up, grabbed the lobster's collar, and signaled that Demu's eyes were not enemies but friends.Lobster stared at Sena warily, and Sena was also hostile to the dog who stole his pocket watch, and Yuki stood in the middle at a loss, watching the two of them stare.

"That..." Youmu touched Demu's head helplessly, trying to find a topic, "Let's go find a pocket watch!"

Sena glanced at the lobster protestingly, and warned: "Keep an eye on it, otherwise I won't guarantee that my gun will go off."

Yuki grabbed the dog's collar nervously.

With the lobster leading the way, the two soon came to the hidden place of the pocket watch, which was the backyard of an abandoned house.Lobster dug out the gold watch from the grassy pit, Youmu wiped off the dust on it, and found a line of small lettering on the back of the pocket watch.

Highlighted text appeared on the lens, like the translation of the string of inscriptions—Water Sand Palace · Rock Lake.

The system suddenly pops up a task update prompt: {Explore more information}

"Can I open it?" Yuki asked.

After obtaining Sena's permission, he carefully opened the cover. The pocket watch is a beautifully carved hollow design, and the gears and shafts that are tirelessly rotating under the dial can be vaguely seen.There are subtle light blue lines on the jade-white disk, like a totem of an exotic culture, or some kind of lost ancient script.

The instructions were constantly being refreshed on the glasses, and her heart was beating so fast that it was about to break through her chest.It turns out that this is the real purpose of Youmu's expedition here.Yuki in this world is an archaeologist.

No wonder he comes with complete field equipment and survival knowledge, and even self-defense weapons and dogs.

Sena's patience was amazing. After Yuki supported the mirror frame and looked away from the pocket watch, he asked, "What did you find?"

"Rock Lake, Water and Sand Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sena's face darkened.

"Hiding in such a ghostly place."

The confused Youmu opened the butterfly menu, and the so-called rock lake was marked on the westernmost side of the wilderness, among the ruins of the ancient city on the border with the desert.A brief introduction pops up on the lens. It seems to be an ancient lake formed in the middle of wilderness rocks that is contrary to the common sense of nature. It once even gave birth to a mysterious civilization, but now it is just a place of death where the harsh environment devours the lives of adventurers. People who go there None survived.

From this point of view, it really looks like a legendary treasure place, but it sounds too dangerous. Those greedy people just die. Is it necessary for Sena to take this risk?

Yuki returned the pocket watch to Sena and asked, "What should I do next?"

Sena looked at Yuki thoughtfully, trying to see through his general thoughts: "Although You Jun asked this way, you have already made a decision, right?"

You are at a loss for words.

He had indeed made a decision. The font of the reminder popped up by the system was a few times larger, and it was bolded and marked with an exclamation mark. It was the most obvious main task.

{Go explore Rocky Lake. }

Although he was going to go, Sena didn't seem to have a sufficient need to go with him.Since it is a place where there is no return, those who covet the treasure will be buried here in all likelihood.Sena didn't need to bet his life to chase after him.

"The ghost town of Rock Lake is commonly known as the entrance to hell. Do you think it's okay to let those people go to die, and I don't have to go?"

Youmu said carefully: "This is a safe choice to avoid potential losses and reduce costs."

"Keyou-kun, are you ready to go?"

"..." Yuki plucked up the courage to look directly at the other person, the person's expression was as elusive as usual, he couldn't tell whether Sena's temptation was out of concern or guard.Youmu didn't like this atmosphere of suspicion. Since the assistant had made up for him the ins and outs of his trip, he decided to open the skylight and speak frankly:

"That's right, I'm interested in 'treasure'. The ancient writing on the pocket watch is exactly the lost civilization that I've studied for a long time, so even if it's a place that never returns, I will go. That's why I came here .Besides, I still owe you favors, let me repay this time."

"Then how do you explain your dog stealing the watch?"

Yuki was a little embarrassed: "Before I set off, I let the lobster remember the smell of antiques, probably because of this it found a pocket watch. Sorry for causing trouble to you... Thank you for letting me know the existence of Rocky Lake .”

Sena said coldly: "You won't forget that group of people are going there too, right? Do you think they will be as kind and friendly as me?"

You weren't very friendly at the beginning... You Mu slandered, he still remembered the shame of being played by the other party.

"Talk to yourself like a dead end hero, who gave you the confidence and qualifications to say that? Since you still owe me, you can't leave my side without permission."

"Are you going too?" You Mu was a little surprised, but also a little unspeakably happy.

"Although I'm not interested in treasures, they are in my territory and cannot be stolen," Sena raised her chin proudly, like an invincible monarch, "If my people are in that kind of place casually, If the place dies, I will never allow it."

Youmu smiled wryly, as if he already regarded himself as his property, but he didn't feel disgusted.

"If the two of us still have the lobster, we'll be fine."

Sena frowned, as if she felt that she had been lowered by a dog, so she corrected her: "You must recognize your status, and you must use honorific names for me, such as Sena-sama."

"...I will pay attention, Sena-san."

It has been five days since the two of them crossed the wilderness and came to the rock formation on the edge of the desert.The sun and moon in the game change very quickly. When returning to the real world, Yuki once looked at the system time and did mental calculations. One day in the game is about 60 seconds.That is to say, even though he has been exploring this wild world for nearly half a month, in reality, Sena may have just prepared a hot drink and brought it upstairs, and just found out that he left without saying goodbye.

The huge brown-red rocks have been eroded into strange shapes by wind and sand. When the wind blows, there will be strange sounds, like the screams of rare and exotic animals, or the wailing of dying souls.

They walked through the jagged rocks and came to the center of the relatively quiet stone group. There really was a lake there. The surface of the lake was as calm as a mirror, and the howling wind outside could not blow it at all.

Youmu opened the pocket watch again, facing the lake, the shape of the sun on the top was aligned with the setting sun, the hollow pattern on the dial covered the redundant scenery for him, and only a stone arch-shaped gap at the bottom of the dial was exposed.

He pointed to the location on the lake: "The entrance should be here."

Sena glanced at him, without questioning, just walked into the lake.Although the lake seems not to be affected by wind and sand, the perennially dry climate in the desert has evaporated a lot of water. When Sena walked to the designated location, the water surface was just above the boots of his calves.

"There is something." Sena muttered, stepping on the raised stone slab under her feet.The originally calm lake suddenly began to tremble violently, and whirlpools appeared around him.In the blink of an eye, the lake was sucked dry by the ground and disappeared, leaving only the wet bottom of the lake and a stone door covered with moss and water plants.

"It turns out that the lake water is used to hide the entrance." You Mu looked at the bottom of the lake covered with bluestones. There were half-meter-wide gaps evenly distributed on it. The lake water flowed into the ground along these gaps. Maybe there is a reservoir there.

Sena had already reached the stone door, and he poked the crack of the door with the handle of the whip, but it didn't move. Sure enough, the door that sank in the water was well sealed.He pushed aside the water plants hanging on the door, revealing several ancient characters with the same pattern.

Yuki searched for related words with the glasses aid, but couldn't find a matching explanation for a while.On the contrary, Sena, who was watching, studied it for a while and said that it looks a bit like an ancient dialect that is about to be lost here.

Yuki quickly took out his notebook, traced the characters on the slate, and then Sena wrote similar words.The font of Sena is unexpectedly a bit round, and it may also be because the letters of their language are round in shape.

"Mr. Sena's handwriting looks cute." Seeing Yuki's smile, Sena was a little unhappy.He was silent for a while, and said as if he had found an opportunity to counterattack:

"σ'αγαπ?, do you know what it means?"

You Mu was at a loss, and he didn't understand the ancient dialect of their place.Sena leaned towards him, lowered her voice, stared at him with burning eyes, and said word by word:

"I want to sleep with you."

Yuki's face turned red all of a sudden, he turned his head away in embarrassment and annoyance, and focused all his attention on the notebook in front of him, he tried his best to scratch out a line of typo, as if it was Sena Izumi's face.

"You're kidding," Sena, who had pulled back a round, laughed triumphantly, "You-kun's reaction is really cute."

Yuki didn't want to talk to him at all.

Referring to the ancient dialect and the root of the modern language, coupled with the research results of the ancient characters of the auxiliary plug-in, Youmu finally solved the meaning of the door panel character.It was a direction reminder, and the two of them groped around the stone slab for a long time according to the words, and finally found an inconspicuous stone stick inserted in the gap near the top of the door, which looked like a switch.

"This height is a bit troublesome." Youmu said distressedly.

Contrary to him, Sena was eager to try: "You just need to watch."

As he spoke, he unloaded a bundle of rope from the saddle, fastened a loose buckle skillfully, and turned the noose to hook the stone rod.He tightened the rope and took a step back, not forgetting to tell Yuki who was looking around curiously:

"Stay away."

The moment the short stick was pulled away, the heavy stone slab hit the ground, making a loud noise.The stale air filled with dust rushed towards the face, and the dark hole looked particularly eerie.

The setting sun had completely sunk into the horizon, the sound of the wind outside the rock array was distant and eerie, the white moonlight shone on the stone slabs, and the air became gloomy and cold.

You Mu shivered involuntarily. This was the first time since he entered this world line that he felt the chill and fear oozing from his bones. Even this experienced archaeologist must be starting to feel scared.

Sena suddenly held his hand, Yuki didn't realize how cold his hand was until he felt the warmth against his skin.He didn't understand why the other party suddenly acted so tenderly. It was too easy to misunderstand and move people's hearts. He looked to his side. Sena's side face kissed by the moonlight was like a statue of a guardian deity, cold and upright, and unquestionable. calm down.

It's a pity that as soon as he opened his mouth, he broke the throbbing that You Mu had just established.

"Afraid?"

Yuki pursed his mouth, he wanted to pull his hand back, but Sena held it tightly.Noticing Yuki's thoughts, Sena laughed and inserted her fingertips into the opponent's fingers.

"I won't run away in fright." You Mu whispered.

"I know," Sena took half a step forward, separating Yuki from the abyss-like black entrance, "just to make sure, You-kun is always by my side."
