Like the last time we went out, no one was driving, but the carriage kept heading in a certain direction.

After I don't know how long I have gone, there is a faint noise in the outside world. It was like returning to the world from an isolated place.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

The moment the housekeeper pushed open the door, Yu Yuan was carried out by the prince, almost dazzled by the brightly lit street.

It was past midnight, but it was a lively time here, or in other words, all vampires started their lives at the right time.

The streets are spacious and the houses are neat and tidy. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a small and bustling town.

Seeing this, Yu Yuan's cheeks became slightly warm, "Put me down."

If he was carried away in such a place, even if it was an NPC, his heart would be filled with a sense of social death.

Hearing the embarrassment and request in his tone, the prince rarely thoughtfully did not embarrass him, put him down and helped him, "Are you sure?"

Yu Yuan nodded heavily. It can't be.

He took two steps, with a crooked stride like a mermaid who had just grown legs and landed.

The prince looked amused: "Speak if you need a hug."

Just as he walked out of the berthing area, Yu Yuan was sweating on his forehead, not to mention buying something. I had no choice but to say: "Find a place to sit for a while."

Hearing this, the prince snapped his fingers: "Okay, I'll take you to meet something interesting."

Yu Yuan was almost dragged away by two people, and when he noticed the gazes of passers-by, he felt like a dead fish with no love for life.

After a few steps, they stopped in front of a bar that looked upscale from the outside.

There are not many people in the room. The prince was like a frequent visitor, and he led them in and sat directly at the bar. The bartender was also a vampire with pointed ears, and greeted them when they arrived.

"As usual," said the prince, and the bartender nodded and went to bartend.

The housekeeper was accustomed to being silent after going out, and only the prince kept introducing Yu Yuan to the surrounding environment. The sound of shaking the shaker came, Yu Yuan looked at the regular names on the drink list and thought this was a normal place.

Until the bartender pushed three iced cocktails in front of them and introduced, "Bloody Mary."

This is not "tomato juice that can't be drunk", but genuine "blood".

This is of course the bar of the blood race. Yu Yuan immediately felt bad.

The prince glanced at him: "Don't try?"

The response was a frantic shaking of his head.

Pretending to be helpless, the prince called the bartender again: "Give him something he can drink."

The bartender could see Yu Yuan's situation, smiled and agreed, and changed to a brand new set of utensils. The bartender kept moving, making a humorous joke: "This is what you just raised?"

They generally acquiesce that the first human beings are just pets that the owner prefers, and only a few cases are the real "new members".

The prince glanced at him, and the bartender immediately understood, and said with an apologetic smile, "I said the wrong thing."

Yu Yuan, who had the [weak] buff above his head, didn't notice the conversation here at all, and had other things on his mind.

He was very concerned about the fact that Mission Seven asked him to buy a silver dagger.

The vampires are afraid of silver utensils. This is clearly written in the game materials. He doubts whether he can touch the silver dagger.

A glass of clear wine was pushed in front of him. Yu Yuan whispered thank you out of a subconscious habit.

Seeing this, the bartender smiled at the prince: "What a good little guy."

The meaning of these words is different from before. It is to treat him as a new member who has just joined the blood clan, and his age is naturally very young.

The prince seemed to be very pleased with such words, implying that Yu Yuan would always stay obediently. He and the bartender were obviously acquainted, and chatted aside.

Yu Yuan listened, and always felt that they were talking about the same content as "the maintenance and care of the newborn blood family".

Lambert, who was sitting outside him, took a sip from his glass, "Anything on your mind?"

The slumped state is obvious to all. Yu Yuan lay on the bar like a boneless, and asked casually, "Do you really want me to stay here forever?"

"Isn't it bad?" The housekeeper took off the gloves and put them aside, "Become a blood clan and enjoy eternal life."

The two were not talking about the same thing at all. Yu Yuan felt that he had been brainwashed these few days and was too deeply involved in the play, so he discussed this issue with an NPC.

But thinking of this, Yu Yuan was suddenly curious - would the NPC realize that everything around was a virtual game?

Rolling his eyes, Yu Yuan asked tentatively, "Well, have you ever doubted the reason for your existence? I mean, for example, there is something wrong with the laws of this world, and everything around is fake."

The butler didn't understand, and after a short pause he asked, "Do you want to change back to a human?"

"No, that's not the point." Feeling that he couldn't explain it clearly, Yu Yuan simply broke the jar, "Do you ever feel that you are in a virtual world, but it's not a real person or something?"

The more straightforward the words were, the deeper the doubts on the butler's face seemed.

No one noticed their side. After a while of silence, he said, "...What else is wrong with you?"

Yu Yuan didn't give up: "Can you understand what I mean by 'virtual game' and 'NPC'?"

Facing the eagerly looking forward gaze, Lambert hesitated slightly: "A game of chess?"

Yu Yuan sighed frantically in his heart.

The era background of the game is set in the Western Magic Continent, and the cognitive level of NPCs is naturally impossible to surpass.

Magic, fantasy journeys, and various races different from humans are the main tone of this holographic game.

For these self-aware, well-programmed NPCs, this is a completely real world, each with their own 24-hour life. Even many life-related players will be fully immersed in playing, and sometimes there is no difference between NPCs and players.

No longer speaking, Yu Yuan closed his eyes and rested his arms on his arms a little tiredly, thinking about how he would find an opportunity to buy things later.

The butler also kept silent at the right time.

There is a small band playing on the indoor dance floor, and the soft music flows like a spring.

Occasionally there are well-dressed men leading their female partners to dance together, and there are figures sticking together in dark corners, doing some secret things.

Yu Yuan looked out of the corner of his eye, and there were no exceptions here were vampires with pointed ears.

But the housekeeper mentioned before that there will be humans in the nearby towns, and I don't know where.

He was still observing the situation around him, but suddenly, his ears were cold.

Turning his head, he saw the housekeeper stroking the tip of his ear.

Ordinary people will feel uncomfortable being poked like this, let alone this sensitive situation. He retracted his neck, his ears were half red, "Don't touch me."

"Ears have also begun to change." The butler looked serious as if he was doing academic work, and he continued to fondle.

Yu Yuan, who was lying on the seat, seemed to be a snail, and he would shrink and hide when he was touched. He looked at each other a little indignantly, and moved two positions in the opposite direction, but was caught off guard by another person and pulled him into his arms.

The warm blowing air hit his ears, and the place where he was grabbed was soft and weak, and he was forced to leave the position and lean against the opponent's arms. Unexpectedly, Yu Yuan knew that the prince had a plan, and whispered, "Let go."

Hearing this, the confinement movement became tighter, and the deep voice in the ear sounded, as if it was ice cubes colliding in the spirits, with a crisp sound.

The prince touched Yu Yuan's pointy ears, and now he didn't look much different from the real blood clan. He smiled and suggested, "Would you like to put something on when you go back?"

The prince grabbed Yu Yuan's hand and guided him to look at his pointed ears. Yu Yuan noticed early in the morning that the other party was wearing two small earrings on each ear, three were black, and the other was a ruby.

The brightness is not conspicuous, if you look closely, the workmanship is very delicate.

But according to Yu Yuan's aesthetics, he only saw the sullenness, and of course he shook his head and refused.

The young bartender in the bar was wiping the shaker and looking at the three with a smile.

There were also scattered people in the room who noticed the movement on the side of the bar.

Yu Yuan stepped on the other side's foot, but the prince not only did not let go, the voice in his ear became even lower, and the wine ignited like a fire, and said softly: "Then go back and put that set of ruby ​​jewelry. Wear them all."

He was like a dog that was entangled in people, his fiery breath hit his neck, and he was entangled all the time, and he wanted Yu Yuan not to let go if he didn't agree, "If you don't wear earrings, if you don't get hurt, you will Wear it once and show me..."

The ambiguous words have a long aftertaste, like the ears and temples between lovers, only each other can hear them.

It's a pity that the other character can't have such ambiguity, and can't read the meaning in his words,

Thinking that the ankle ring has not been taken off yet, Yu Yuan almost refuted angrily: "It's almost done."

There are too many problems with this NPC setting, it is recommended to destroy it directly.

The prince became more and more interested, and said in a hoarse voice: "The blood clan is obliged to the master they belong to..."

Yu Yuan didn't want to listen anymore.

With a sudden force, he broke free from his embrace and returned to the seat next to the butler, then began to pretend to be deaf and blind, and no longer looked at the prince.

The prince chuckled a few times and chatted with the bartender again.

Lambert pushed the glass to Yu Yuan's side at the right time, and the transparent liquid bubbled up a few times. Yu Yuan took a sip, unexpectedly agreeing with his taste.

"Do you like it?" Lambert didn't miss every change of expression on his face. "I can also mix drinks."

Yu Yuan, who had nothing to do, nodded silently.

Seeing this, Lambert got up, as if he was going to go around the bar and make him a drink.

Yu Yuan was shocked: "No, it's not necessary now, right?"

Lambert made a gesture, and the young bartender smiled and indicated that he could do it himself.

He rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt halfway, exposing a section of his forearm, picked up a few glass bottles to check the choices one by one, and took out a new set of bartending tools.

The lighting in the room is not very bright, and the crystal cup behind the bar reflects the light, which complements the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

During the bartending process, Lambert's movements have been very fast and neat, obviously very skilled, with a sense of ornamental beauty. Rao Shi Yu Yuan was not very interested, so he couldn't help but watch it for a while.

Seeing this scene, the prince sneered disdainfully: "How long have you been practicing in private this time?"

Lambert ignored it, just focused on the business in front of him, shaking the wine shaker gently in his hand.

Not long after, a glass of blue mixed liquor was pushed in front of Yu Yuan, with a slice of fresh orange stuck in the mouth of the glass.

The prince looked calm on the surface, but in reality he gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to hit the cup.

But Yu Yuan still picked it up and took a sip, put down the glass, and looked at Lambert, wanting to give him a comment.

"...It tastes good, thank you." Yu Yuan scratched his hair.

Lambert came back to him and sat down again, "I can teach you after returning to the castle."

Their conversation seems to never be separated from topics like "going back to the castle" and "can't leave".

Yu Yuan nodded slightly perfunctorily, and lay down on the table again.

Out of the corner of the eye, he landed on the dance floor, watching the blood races in twos and threes spinning and dancing together.

A race with an extremely long life will also do various entertainment things like humans and kill time.

In this respect, it doesn't seem to be any different.

After a while.

Yu Yuan was thinking about the task, but suddenly, a notification sound from the game system suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Player [Pumpkin Cultivation Becomes Essence] initiates a friend call, do you accept the teleportation to the player?"

All of a sudden, he was so refreshed that he almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

He opened his eyes at once, and the game interface jumped out in front of him!

After so many days of being isolated from the world and unable to contact anyone through the game, now that I have left the castle and arrived here, there is actually news.

The translucent blue box is like a window to freedom, and the sudden ecstasy swept through at this moment, and the drum-like heartbeat almost rang in my ears.

He pretended to be as casual as possible, and had already made up his mind.

"What's wrong?" the butler asked.

"fine."

Yu Yuan glanced sideways at the other party, then stared at the game interface again, silently giving the system an order: accept the transfer.

There is a reaction. He couldn't help clenching his hands.

The voice in the ear began to read the countdown.

As if there was a hunch in the dark, the butler suddenly changed his face, and the prince, who was originally half-faced, turned around and looked at it, and the young bartender followed his gaze.

At this moment, in front of all of them, something almost impossible happened.

——In the blink of an eye, the humans at the bar disappeared.

On the table, the specially re-mixed blue cocktail was still bubbling two or three times. At a certain moment, the bubbles burst, and the wine seemed to become even colder.

Under the melodious music in the bar, the cold and warm lights are interlaced, and the bar is suddenly quiet.

Dead silent.
