Chapter 930: Nine hundred and twenty eight

  Chapter 930 Chapter Nine Hundred and Twenty-Eight · "Life after life, eternal life forever."

   "Today is celebrating your birthday, so don't overwhelm the host." Su Mingan shook his head.

   "But, Mr. Detective, do you know what my birthday wish is?" Alice's mouth curled up.

   "What is it?"

   "My birthday wish is—" Alice leaned closer, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, "[I hope Mr. Detective can have a happy birthday.]"

  Her voice is light and ethereal, but each word is bitten clearly, like when she was twelve years old, she took his hand and walked forward step by step in the heavy snow.

  Su Mingan's eyes flickered slightly.

  At this moment, it was like a flock of birds flying into the room through the wide open window, crashing into the bottom of his heart, and vaguely illusory clouds intertwined and collided, overflowing his chest.

  He doesn't know how he feels. All the warmth of the tenth world seems to be gathered here, colliding with the cries of the world, the cruelty of human nature, and the heavy snow floating in the city.

  People always say that fairy tales are always beautiful, but reality is always cruel. And in this game called "Girl's Dream Project", is this kind of warmth limited to "fairy tales"?

No.

  Hope this isn't a fairy tale.

  People gave gifts to Su Mingan one by one.

  The red-haired teenager is Pat the Wild Child. With his pocket in his pocket and a somewhat awkward personality, he handed Su Mingan a sunny day doll: "Here, detective, thank you for giving the children 39 Kerr two years ago and saving their lives. This is the sunny day that the children made for you together." baby."

  The blond-haired young man is Knight Wendell. He is wearing a white shirt and looks reserved and clean. He carefully handed a stack of postcards to Su Mingan: "Mr. Detective, this is a postcard of all the lakes in Fort City. Happy birthday to you."

  The brown-haired man is Difu the hunter. He looked a little indifferent, and handed a few bullets to Su Mingan: "This is the bullet I made. It can be used in the gun in the future. Protect Alice."

The blue-haired boy is the only son of the Baron's family, Issy. He smiled softly and gave Su Mingan a golden pocket watch: "Detective Your Excellency, this is a collection of antiques I bought at the auction. I heard that you like antiques very much." , maybe this will help you."

  The one with the short brown hair is the fighter Josh. She patted Su Mingan on the shoulder carelessly: "Brother Detective, if you encounter a bad guy in the future, put on this boxing glove I gave you to fight, it's powerful!"

  Finally, the neighbor’s gardener sister, Mei Mi, blushed, and gave Su Mingan a bouquet of beautiful white lilies, and said in a timid voice, “Mr. Detective, I wish you peace and happiness in the future and a smooth life.”

   Facing such enthusiastic people, Su Mingan thanked them one by one.

  His pupils were filled with warm light bit by bit, and the loneliness, depression, and pain that were regarded as aliens during the day were gradually suppressed.

   "Master Detective." Alice tilted her head: "It's my turn, guess what gift I prepared for you?"

   "... spring heart cake?" Su Mingan thought for a while.

  Alice laughed: "Spring heart cake, spring heart cake again? Am I just spring heart cake in your eyes?"

   "No, because I have never eaten such a delicious thing..." Su Mingan shook his head: "Some people I met were really not good at cooking. But the spring heart cakes you made are delicious."

  He guessed a few more answers, but Alice shook her head and said she was wrong. Just when Su Mingan couldn't figure it out,

  Alice smiled slightly, and suddenly stretched out her hands—

   "Clatter—"

  Su Mingan seemed to hear the sound of white doves flapping their wings.

  He lowered his head, as if he saw the snow-white wings, they were clustered together, as white as fine snow. Alice held them up and held them up to him.

   is morning glory flower.

  —White morning glory flower.

"Mr. Detective, I heard that the white morning flower means the birth of a miracle, and the blessings of the world will be etched in your soul forever." Alice said loudly: "I give you the white morning flower, I wish you— Life is bright, healthy and eternal, life after life, forever. I wish you all the happiness in the world, everyone will give you kindness, and may goodness follow you forever.”

  Su Mingan's vision trembled violently.

  ...Wait, it sounds familiar.

  The words are so familiar, and the name of this familiar flower—

   "Chaoyan..." Su Mingan said.

   "Huh?" Alice tilted her head.

   "No, Alice." Su Mingan took the flower, the white petals were limp, and gently brushed against his chin: "Sorry, I just called someone else's name. Thank you, Alice."

   Chaoyan is an orphan girl from a small village in "Louyue Kingdom", and Alice is a girl from "Girl Dream Project". They have an oriental ancient background and a western steam background. They cannot be the same person.

   "Alice is Alice." Alice smiled, and took Su Mingan's hand: "Okay, Mr. Detective, let's cut the cake."

  She took Su Mingan's hand and led him to the candlelight.

  The two closed their eyes and made a wish, and blew out the candles. Sister Rita helps them cut the cake. The quality of sugar and salt in this era is not good, and the cake is not very tasty, but everyone eats it happily.

   Wendell specially selected the part with strawberries for Su Mingan. Diff didn't eat a few bites, and was hit in the face by Pat's cake, and the two began to wrestle. Sisters Rita and Josh hurried to break up the fight, while Mei Mi sat and watched with a smile.

  The room was lively and lively, Su Mingan was biting the cake, and Alice sat beside him, watching the scene in the candlelight room with a smile, keeping everyone in mind.

  Issie quietly sat beside Alice, and asked her in a low voice: "Alice, can I continue to teach you the violin in the future?"

   "Forget it, I'm a violent woman, and I'll break the strings at every turn. I'd better continue to learn fighting from sister Josh." Alice said with a smile.

   Izzy listened, a little sad.

  He didn't know why Alice always pushed herself so hard, she basically practiced swordsmanship from morning till night. And the musical instruments and paintings that she really likes, she dare not touch, as if there is a scourge chasing her behind, asking her to become stronger quickly.

  Issie saw how she looked when she was learning the violin. At that time, the light in her eyes was very bright. She really liked the instrument. It's just that when the strings were broken, the light in her eyes quickly dimmed. Many people said that she is a muscular girl, but she just listened plainly, and then continued to practice without giving herself any rest.

   "Alice..." Izzy said.

   "I think this is very good." Alice said calmly.

She was sitting on a chair, her eyes faintly resting on Su Mingan: "I want to become stronger, and I want to protect Mr. Detective. It is a shame to be good at force.”

   After hearing this, Issie could only respect her thoughts.

   The birthday party didn't end until nearly two o'clock in the morning. Su Mingan and Alice returned home.

  Alice lay on the bed and covered herself with the quilt. At her request, Su Mingan read her a bedtime story for the first and last time.

  Because—when she opened her eyes again, the detective would disappear, and then she would go through a long and lonely half a year, living alone, going to school alone, leaving school alone, and cooking alone, until he appeared again. By then, she was fifteen, no longer the age of a child to ask for a bedtime story.

  —Time is just a moment for him.

  —For her, it was a long half a year.

  Su Mingan sat by her bed, under the crackling of the fireplace, read her fairy tales:

  "A long time ago, there was a beautiful Rapunzel. A tsunami suddenly occurred in her kingdom, and her kingdom and her friends were all submerged by the tsunami."

  "As a survivor, she boarded a lighthouse and waited, hoping to wait for her friends. She used the lighthouse to guide the passing ships and asked the sailors to search for her friends along the way."

"She waited, waited, waited for a long, long time, her kingdom was still flooded, and her friends were nowhere to be heard. How she wished that there would be survivors among her friends, and even one of them would die. Go up to her and tell her, 'I survived'."

"Year after year, Rapunzel looked at the sky and said to herself: 'Please, don't leave me waiting alone. I am most afraid of loneliness. Please take me with you, or Come alive to me'."

"Until one day, a white dove flew from afar and told her—'Princess, there is no need to wait any longer. Winter has come, and the winter snow has buried everything, and your kingdom has turned into a frozen kingdom, and all the corpses will be buried in the cold forever. Beneath the ice, all your friends are dead, and none will come back'."

   "The news of such despair hit Rapunzel's heart, and in the end, Rapunzel chose..."

   After reading this, Su Mingan raised his head and found that Alice had fallen asleep.

   "Good night, Alice." Su Mingan closed the book. He was just about to quit the game when he suddenly saw someone standing in front of the door.

  It was a young man wearing a mask, wearing a bard-style robe, with bagpipes pinned to his waist.

   "You are Xiao Hei?" Su Mingan remembered that Alice once met a bard named Xiao Hei.

   "Detective, take Alice away as soon as possible." Xiao Hei said: "Keep her away from everything related to the gods. Otherwise, you will encounter catastrophe."

   "Why do you say that?" Su Mingan asked.

  Xiao Hei just repeated: "Please hurry up and take Alice away from here, the farther you go, the better."

  Su Mingan suddenly heard a "ding dong". At this moment, he finally received the long-overdue main mission of the game—

  Su Mingan knew very early on that this was not just a cultivation game.

  It has a main plot.

  In this main storyline, Alice, as a child named by the eyes of the past, will face the coming disaster.

  …

  【Main task: Together with Alice, investigate the truth about the frequent occurrence of alien species in this world and kill the alien king. 】

  【Task Reward: Clear the game. 】

  …

   "Is a disaster about to happen?" Su Mingan's voice was very soft. Seeing the appearance of the main mission, his heart sank slightly.

  At this moment, there was only a feeling of "finally here" in his mind.

   "Probably." Xiao Hei said.

  Su Mingan nodded.

  The warm days here are also over.

  The heavy darkness is about to sweep both the world and the game at the same time, but he can only raise the light in his hand, with only a faint hope, and he will not retreat a step until he sees the bottom of the abyss.

   "Thank you for your reminder, but not only me, but she will not choose to escape. We will not leave here." Su Mingan said: "We are all people who cannot let tragedies happen."

  Xiao Hei didn't speak, just turned and left silently.

  Su Mingan held the white Chaoyan flower in his arms, stood under the street lamp, and looked up at the heavy snow. Snowflakes fell freely, brushing his black hair.

   "铛—铛——"

  Under the bell, he sighed:

"Very big snow."

  Suddenly, he noticed that his field of vision began to turn red, and a bright red system prompt popped up:

  …

  【Someone wants to hurt you in reality, please exit the game immediately! 】

  …

  Su Mingan's heart tightened, and he quit the game immediately. As soon as he opened his eyes, a shining cold light appeared in front of his eyes, and someone stood in front of the bed and stabbed him.

   "Shua!"

  Su Mingan held the opponent's wrist with one hand, making a crisp sound of "clicking" the joints. The opponent's strength was great, and the tip of the knife kept moving down, very close to Su Mingan's throat.

  The next moment, the white tentacles on Su Mingan's back popped out suddenly, pressing the opponent firmly against the wall, like slapping a fly.

   "Is the security of the old Holy See so poor?" Su Mingan slowly got up from the bed. He was assassinated every night he slept.

  The other party seemed to be struggling: "Ji Ling—the flower of thorns!"

  In an instant, the bright red branches pierced the white tentacles, and Su Mingan felt a pain from the tentacles. With a pinch of his fingers, he wanted to restrain the opponent with spatial vibration.

   "Su Wensheng, the ancient martial arts family will kill you sooner or later—" the other party said suddenly.

  Su Mingan was startled.

   After saying this, black blood suddenly flowed from the corner of the other party's mouth, and he committed suicide by taking poison. But Su Mingan immediately stepped forward, before the other party died, and stabbed the other party's heart with a knife.

  In an instant, like Liu Xuanxuan and Ming Luo before, because they were killed by Su Mingan, the memory of the other party flooded into Su Mingan's mind.

  …

  In front of the eyes is the bright sky, the pavilions and pavilions are covered with yellow tiles, and the red golden hall is made up of nine long pillars, which are clear and glazed in the sun. Looking at the ancient scenery, this place should be the current Dragon City.

  Two figures are sitting on the pavilion. One has a slightly mature appearance, and the other has a slightly youthful appearance.

  Su Mingan saw that one of them turned out to be Yi Zhongyu, and the other was the assassin. It seems that this assassin has a close relationship with Yi Zhongyu.

   "Brother, I'm here to say goodbye to you." The assassin said.

   "Brother, are you still determined to sneak into the old Holy See?" Yi Zhongyu said.

   "Well. The Lu family of the ancient martial arts family was exterminated. I suspect that the old Holy See did it." The assassin said.
