Collapse Mod, all characters are NPCs!

Turning his head with a smile like the big brother next door, Luo Hong said: "There are things I can't do, such as leaving this world."

After saying this, a hint of loneliness flashed across his eyes.

"Ah this..."

Seeing this, Mei immediately realized her gaffe and tried to say something to make amends.

but--

"Miss Mei, don't blame yourself."

Continuing to maintain his gentle image, Luo Hong held his forehead and shook his head, saying: "Now that you have come to this world, it is enough for me."

"As for whether I can leave, it's not a big deal."

"But you must be careful outside. I can't help you here."

After saying this, he showed a serious concern on his face.

There is no doubt that this was the only expression he did not make on purpose.

After all, putting aside his love for Mei and the others, let's talk about a more realistic issue. If something happens to them outside, can their consciousness still come to his world? Will the puppet NPCs here even disappear?

This concerns his interests, so he will naturally emphasize the importance of reminders.

But in Mei's eyes, this has another meaning.

"Mr. Luo Hong is really gentle."

A glimmer flickered in her jewel-like, light purple eyes. Mei nodded and said, "We will naturally pay attention to safety. Thank you, Mr. Luo Hong, for your concern."

Seeing that Luo Hong was genuinely concerned about them, she no longer felt uncomfortable with Luo Hong calling her name directly as she did at the beginning.

After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "No wonder Bronya, who is so vigilant, trusts Mr. Luo Hong so much."

Bronya: (???)?

014. Anti-Luo Hong Alliance

Bronya's bedroom in the student dormitory of St. Freya Academy.

"That bastard must be extremely worried right now, right?"

Danzhu, who was sitting cross-legged next to Bronya and playing "Horum Battle" with Bronya, was shouting wildly.

"not necessarily."

Sitting on the edge of Bronya's bed, Cang Xuan was supporting himself with his hands on the bed, swaying his slender white legs.

She looked rational, shook her head and said, "He will judge the success or failure of our mission based on the status of our NPC."

"Since we are fine now, he naturally has nothing to worry about."

"even……"

Compared to her sister, she was much calmer and understood that her current actions would not really make Luo Hong worry.

Even because of their current joint resistance, deliberately delaying the time of entering that world may lead to Luo Hong's violent revenge in the future.

but--

"Sister Cang Xuan, even if we don't do this, will that guy let us go?"

With her eyes still fixed on the screen, Bronya knocked out Danzhu's game character again with an expressionless face, while expressing Cang Xuan's concerns.

It’s not that she has any mind-reading ability, but after meeting Cang Xuan, she felt that she and Cang Xuan had an unusually high compatibility.

Therefore, even if Cang Xuan did not say the rest of the story, she could probably guess what Cang Xuan wanted to say.

"That's true."

Nodding, Cang Xuan said, "If we go in a little later now, we will suffer less humiliation from him."

"Anyway...he won't be too harsh on us."

Rather, she felt that last night was already excessive enough!

Whether it was her or Danzhu, they had never behaved in such a way before.

"Then... is Mr. Luo Hong really as hateful as you say?"

If she was still in the state of Hei Ji Lin, she would naturally call Luo Hong "that guy".

But now Ji Lin has completely washed away the darkness in her heart and turned back into her true self.

Her only problem now is that she is in the state of a soul and needs to rely on the Xuanyuan Sword to survive.

"Of course it's abominable!"

Dan Zhu, who had lost the game, looked back at Ji Lin who had emerged from the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "When you get over there, you'll know how despicable that guy is."

With the existing technology, unless they can transform the Xuanyuan Sword into a human form, extracting Ji Lin's soul and placing it in a new body is a feat that even she, the god who "created all things", cannot accomplish.

So they either let Ji Lin continue like this, or they could only wait for Luo Hong to turn over Ji Lin's card.

Therefore, she and Cang Xuan never thought about how to prevent Ji Lin from falling into Luo Hong's clutches from the beginning.

Being able to remind Ji Linluo Hong that he is not a "good person" is the only help that these two sisters can give to this old friend.

"The only good thing about that guy is his honesty and trustworthiness."

Suddenly, Bronya spoke up, "It's not that I'm speaking for him, but if you take advantage of this characteristic of his, maybe you can have a chance to avoid... no, to be flirted with by him."

It is impossible to avoid it, not in this lifetime, but she thinks it is not a big problem to let Ji Lin be eaten by Luo Hong later.

"Oh?"

Hearing Bronya say this, Cang Xuan showed a thoughtful expression and said, "Bronya means... to make a bet with him?"

"Yes."

Nodding, Bronya said seriously, "That guy has always been amused by us, which means he is actually quite lonely."

"If we can set him up, he'll definitely be happy to see it."

"As long as we win, given his personality, he will definitely let us go."

"As for losing, it's no big deal. At most, I'll just let him take advantage of me."

"Even if we don't do this, he will definitely not let us go. We are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes."

Anyway, she has nothing to lose!

"Makes sense!"

Nodding, Danzhu touched his chin and said, "Then let's bet with him!"

"But……"

At the right time, Ji Lin made a weak sound.

"Didn't you say Mr. Luo Hong knows everything?"

"What should I bet with him to have a chance of winning?"

“He doesn’t know everything.”

Shaking his head, Cang Xuan began to show his side of "seeing through everything".

"He only knows what 'should' happen. If things change, he can't predict it 100%."

"And when he talked about Dr. Mobius, he was only using logic to deduce Dr. Mobius's true condition, not being completely certain."

"In addition—"

Turning her gaze to Bronya, she crossed her fingers, resting her chin on the knuckles of both hands, and said seriously, "According to the information Bronya provided, he only knows the plot of the 'game'. There must be blind spots that he, a 'player', cannot observe!"

"Let's bet on this with him!"

The advantage they have now is that they have her and Danzhu, two people who should have disappeared into history.

Of course, they didn't dare to act recklessly. If their actions led to a situation beyond Luo Hong's expectations, and Honkai could not be defeated, they would be eternal sinners who would be infamous for their crimes.

But things that have not happened are difficult to control, but for things that have become a foregone conclusion, they may be able to make some small "changes".

For example--

"magnificent!"

Danzhu, who was in tune with her sister, was the first to have her eyes light up and said, "Let's bet with him about Hua's situation!"

"But that guy is very shrewd. If we directly bet on whether Hua has been instigated by us, he will definitely notice it."

"Besides, Hua doesn't even know us now, why don't we just do this—"

Then, she, who was particularly talented in this kind of prank, began to plan for this matter.

Soon, Cang Xuan and Bronya also joined in, and only Ji Lin, who was of noble character, was trembling beside them.

For a moment, Ji Lin couldn't tell who was the bad guy on either side.

But when she thought about how they were working hard for her chastity, she, she... might as well rot in the Xuan-Yuan Sword!

……

Luo Hong's territory.

"Ah sneeze——!"

Luo Hong sensed something and couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

"Mr. Luo Hong, are you okay?"

There was concern in her eyes. During the conversation with Luo Hong, Meiyi had gradually regarded him as a friend.

"No."

Shaking his head, Luo Hong said, "Maybe someone is thinking of me."

"Oh, Mr. Luo Hong's words are really romantic and humorous."

Amused by Luo Hong's words, Mei smiled gently and said, "But it's been so long and Bronya and the others haven't come yet. Maybe they are just talking about Mr. Luo Hong's help to them and are so excited that they can't sleep?"

"Well, that should be it."

With a warm smile and a nod, Luo Hong understood that things should be as Mei said, but the specific things they talked about might be exactly the opposite of what Mei thought.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he suggested with a smile, "Miss Mei, do you want to go to the dojo?"

015. Mei: Mr. Luo Hong is just too gentle!

Cherry blossoms fell, and the afternoon sun filled the dojo, bringing back memories to Mei's face, as if it was pulling her back to the time when she was still honing her family's swordsmanship.

But this place is different from the dojo at home after all, and she soon came to her senses.

"I'm not good at kendo."

Noticing that Meiyi's expression had returned to clarity, Luo Hong said with a warm smile, "Miss Meiyi, could you give me some advice?"

"Oh?"

With a look of surprise, Meiyi couldn't help but ask, "So there are things that Mr. Luo Hong is not good at?"

Putting aside the miracles Luo Hong had shown her, she was genuinely astonished by his erudition when they were chatting just now.

However, because knowing the secret would require paying a price, she was always cautious in her words and actions, and did not ask too deep questions.

Otherwise, she would have asked about her father's condition long ago.

however--

"of course."

Nodding modestly, Luo Hong said, "If it's just talking about it on paper, I have no problem. I also have some knowledge of Beichen Ittoryu. But when it comes to actually practicing it, I know nothing about it. So please give me some advice."

"And as tuition—"

He extended his index finger, a look of sudden inspiration flashing through his eyes, and said, "I will tell Miss Mei about your father's condition."

After saying this, he smiled warmly, as if he had done something very ordinary.
