Came into the darkness after customs clearance.

Xiao Lan is still somewhat unreal.

He thought that when he finally came to the crow, there would be one of the most difficult levels to pass.

As a result, I did not expect it to be such a situation of a harmonious and friendly fan meeting, and even the crow gave him poverty value with a good speech.

Teacher Raven is really a good person, Xiao Lan couldn't help thinking.

Until he saw Luo in the dark.

Luo looks bad.

One of his arms was missing, and even a part with shoulders was missing, as if torn by some terrible force.

Even the face, with a few deep scratches, reveals the darkness under the skin.

Xiao Lan walked over quickly: "Luo! What's wrong with you?!"

Luo moved his neck and smiled in a low voice: "Oh... Teacher Crow gave me a little surprise."

Xiao Lan: "..."

Looking at this injury, Teacher Crow's surprise seems... a bit cruel.

It is better to say that it is more appropriate to startle.

With that, a black shadow poured out from the gap in Luo's shoulder, and then stretched out, gradually forming the shape of an arm.

Luo moved his new arm and felt that after moving freely, he reached over the wound on his face and adjusted his skin sac back to its original appearance.

Luo resumed his usual stance: "But... okay, don't worry."

Xiao Lanzai looked at Luo carefully, and finally he was relieved.

Suddenly he thought of Qi Ning.

If there is such a difficult "surprise" at the end, is this serious injury of Qi Ning not bad or bad!

The two hurriedly left the darkness and returned to the room.

Xiao Lan couldn't wait to use [Dark Whisper] to contact Qi Ning.

No contact was picked up for a while, so Xiao Lan couldn't help but lift it up.

However, the system does not indicate that the props cannot be used, at least it shows that the prop holder is still alive.

Xiao Lan didn't dare to hang up, so he kept the activation state and stared at [Dark Whisper].

[Dark Raven whispered] He was almost staring at him.

After a few minutes, Qi Ning finally got in touch.

His voice sounded collapsed, more feeble than usual: "Cough cough cough cough... Xiao... Lan?"

Xiao Lan quickly asked: "How are you there? Need help?"

A weak voice came from Qi Ning: "I'm still alive... I finally got off with [Adrenaline x0044]. At the moment...cough...I can't die, there are a few side effects, just wait for a while, I don't need it help me."

He seemed to cough up a bit of blood: "Cough... crow... really ruthless..."

Perhaps Qi Ning has always been here. He was carried by himself when he was injured and weak, and he didn’t want to be seen with his embarrassed side, even if he could be regarded as a friend.

Xiao Lan once again confirmed with him that he did not need any help before hanging up the communication.

After contacting Qi Ning, Xiao Lan fell into contemplation.

Is it because the crow is most interested in the treatment of readers, is Luo and Qining the normal customs clearance?

It turns out that this is where the real luck is.

How does it feel so unreal to leave Europe?

It's like... the lucky value of this life has been overdrawn...

Back in the player's room again, the two took a good rest.

In the night.

Xiao Lan sat alone at the head of the bed and took out the Pandora's Box from Miss B from the storage space.

[Name: Pandora's Box (Unknown)]

[Ability: Unknown]

[Description: Unknown]

A box that should be related to Xiao Chengyan, everything is unknown and cannot be opened by others.

There is no lock on the box, it just seems to close casually.

But no matter whether Xiao Lan turned it upside down or swayed, the lid remained motionless, as if he had been welded to death.

The cold touch from my fingertips made me feel uneasy.

If you open it, what will happen?

He tentatively opened the box.

Unexpectedly, it was just a little hard, and [Pandora's Box] was like an ordinary unlocked box, which was easily opened.

As if, Xiao Chengyan made hands and feet on this box, only Xiao Lan himself can open it.

And inside it was the metal bookmark he gave to his father.

Xiao Lan picked up the bookmark.

The bookmark is still the same as it was in the past, without any changes, it is not even a prop, and no description text can be seen.

Other than that, it was empty.

That's it?

Xiao Lan couldn't help wondering.

Xiao Chengyan placed it specifically on the npc, and even no one could open the box, and there was a bookmark in it that could not even be props?

He turned the bookmark over and over and read it several times, but still nothing.

It's not that Xiao Chengyan is bored. Is it a prank set for himself?

"Hahaha..." Suddenly, Xiao Lan heard laughter from his side not far away.

He clearly stayed in the room alone, and the player room that came to the world, without the permission of the owner, it was impossible for anyone to enter.

What's happening here?

Xiao Lan turned to look around, but saw a familiar and somewhat strange person.

It was Xiao Chengyan.

But this Xiao Chengyan is completely different from what he remembers.

Although he has the same appearance, this person's eyes look arrogant and wanton, his body is much stronger, and the smile on his face has never been seen by Xiao Lan.

And even more strange is that the environment of Xiao Chengyan,

He was sitting on a stone beside a lava pool, with injuries all over his body, and the gray trench coat on his body was ragged, and it looked like he had just experienced a war.

This lava pool is now fused with Xiao Lan's bedroom.

Half of it is a normal bedroom, usually a naturally occurring lava pool, as if it were originally part of his bedroom.

what's the situation?

"Hey, why are you stupid?" Xiao Chengyan spoke again.

Xiao Lan recovered his consciousness and thought of the identity of Xiao Chengyan as a master of illusion. If illusion is possible, is everything possible?

However, in the face of this overly complicated father, he sometimes did not know how to say: "..."

Xiao Chengyan looked indifferent: "You seem to have a lot of doubts, anyway, this medium was originally created for you. It is better to ask slowly, as a father, I can explain to you patiently."

Xiao Lan shook the bookmark in his hand: "Does the medium refer to this bookmark?"

Xiao Chengyan: \"I leave some things that you are familiar with in many game fields. If you are interested in me, you will definitely come into contact. These things will eventually point to me. Well, what do you want to know? ?\"

Xiao Lan thought about it and picked a question as the beginning: "Did you...when you disappeared, did you not intend to return to reality?"

Xiao Chengyan nodded: "Yes, I have a goal that I need to go all out, so I can't take into account the real world anymore. At that time, I planned to deal with the rest of the company and related debts and would not go back."

Xiao Lan frowned: "It was planned to deal with the debt at the time, but why did you find Cheng Wenyi later... No, it should be why you know my skills and I am sure I will enter the game."

Xiao Chengyan smiled: "It seems that you have seen Cheng Wenyi's Sao Bao Bao kid, I guess he should take the initiative to find you, right?"

Xiao Lan nodded.

Xiao Chengyan: "At that time, I no longer appeared in the light, just secretly deal with the rest of the company. But one day I stole... I took a glance at home, and I found the sign of coming to the world on your body."

At that time, I just wanted to take a quiet look at my wife and children.

However, he found that his son had also entered hell, and he could hardly describe his mood at that moment.

"I sent someone to bring you over, but guess what I found?"

"You can't hear any news about coming to the world."

"Isn't this weird? A person with a sign of coming to the world is blocked like an ordinary person."

Xiao Lan remembered this. There was once a very strange person who secretly found himself on the school road one night. He said a few words in his mouth and tried to get him into the car.

At that time, he thought he had a neuropathy or abnormality, so he ran away.

But to be honest, that person has tattoos of Zuo Qinglong and Baihu on his body, and his smile is languid.

Although he is only fifteen years old but not stupid, he would not choose to go with him.

Xiao Chengyan continued: "Later I found something even stranger-for a whole month, you haven't entered the game. It was an incredible thing that came to the world at that time. At that time, no player could get that long. Break time."

"Later, I found another mark on you. It's amazing, that mark can actually suppress the one that originally came to the world."

"So, I felt the power of this mark and found the rebel."

"Then I learned about you from him, and we took advantage of the opportunity you brought to us to start cooperation."

"Although the rebels said that as long as he is not dead or seriously injured, you will not enter the game again, but the eggs cannot be put in a basket, right, so I found Cheng Wenyi again."

Xiao Lan took a deep breath: "What about my mother? Have you ever thought of her in doing so?"

Xiao Chengyan chuckled and asked, "Are you underestimating Wen Qi?"

Wen Qi, this is Xiao Lan's mother's name.

Xiao Chengyan stared at an unknown direction: "After I chose to disappear, she had found me."

Xiao Lan was startled: "What?"

He never heard his mother mention this.

Xiao Chengyan said: "She has never been a shrewd person and is often confused, but this time she is too smart..."

"Wen Qi started looking for me as soon as I disappeared. Perhaps the company's debts have been handled secretly, which has already made her suspicious."

"Later, I asked Cheng Wenyi to put a debt on her name, but I wouldn’t let her... cough. I found someone to arrange a new identity for her to go abroad. She only had to wait a few years abroad to wait until You will be free as an adult."

"But she found me directly by this clue, I don't know when she has such ability."

"She even vaguely guessed things related to the coming of the world through my actions, guessing my goals, and even the motivation for creating debt. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell her anything because of the limitations of the coming of the world."

"Later, she only asked me one question—"

"If what you want to do fails, will our son also be in danger?"

Xiao Chengyan turned around and asked Xiao Lan: "Is it very smart?"

Xiao Lan was speechless for a moment. In his memory, his mother was a gentle person, not a type of career strongman. Such a keenness is almost as good as his impression.

Xiao Chengyan asked again: "Do you want to see her? I have also been there for a long time... I haven't seen her."

As his words fell, Xiao Chengyan extended his finger to his head and then pointed his index finger towards the void.

A light and shadow suddenly flowed from his fingertips, interweaving into a picture.

A woman appeared in the picture.

The appearance is the delicate and softness in Xiao Lan's memory, with a tenderness and calmness that seems to radiate from his bones.

It is a pity that Xiao Lan looks more like Xiao Chengyan. Except for the cool white skin and face shape, there is not much like a mother. The whole person has not inherited the gentle temperament of her mother.

But at the moment, the expression on Wen Qi's face was sharper that Xiao Lan had never seen before.

She stared straight at Xiao Chengyan, who was sitting opposite, and could not see the meaning of softness and retreat.

Wen Qi: "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Chengyan's tone was plain: "Don't worry about him, he needs to sharpen to grow, he doesn't have much time."

Wen Qijing clenched his fists: "We can't teach him how to grow?"

Xiao Chengyan did not give up: "If he died or died, he would not be worthy of my son."

Anger made Wen Qi's breath short, and she reached for the cup in front of her and threw it hard at Xiao Chengyan: "You get out! My son, I won't let him alone."

Xiao Chengyan clearly can easily avoid, but he did not hide, but was directly covered with face.

The two in the picture fell into a brief silent confrontation.

Xiao Chengyan outside the picture said, "Wen Qi is really beautiful, and she is the only one who is so beautiful and angry."

Xiao Lan: "...Are you shaking m?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..." Xiao Chengyan laughed to himself.

Xiao Chengyan in the picture opened his mouth, he didn’t wipe his face, and said calmly: "He needs to learn how to survive unscrupulously, even if it is cheating, betraying, stealing, or even stepping on someone else's body. What he will face is not What environment can parents’ education solve.”

Wen Qi stood up: "I will never allow my son to become a despicable person who is desperate to survive! He will live as an honest and kind person!"

Xiao Chengyan: "Even if such kindness kills him?"

Wen Qi said firmly: "I will teach him that kind people also have a chance to survive. Kindness does not mean weakness, nor does it mean stupidity, let alone incompetence."

"Now, you do your own business, my son has me here to take care of it."

"No more appearing in front of him, don't let him know your terrible plan, let him think that his father is really missing."

"Look at who is right."

After finishing, Wen Qi turned and left.

Xiao Chengyan just sat there, staring at the back of her departure without blinking her eyes.

Suddenly, Wen Qi's footsteps stopped.

She didn't look back and asked softly: "How sure are you... to be able to come back alive?"

Xiao Chengyan is talking about something that has nothing to do with himself: "Ten percent or two."

Wen Qi: "...lunatic."

Xiao Chengyan just smiled and did not speak.

When Wen Qi's footsteps were about to go out, he said: "Take care, your recent health is not good, I will keep your identity abroad forever."

Wen Qi's progress stopped again, but said nothing.

When her figure had stepped out of the door, an almost inaudible voice came from the door: "Take care..."

Xiao Chengyan in the room smiled, and he answered with a lip: I will.

The picture blurs and disappears gradually.

Xiao Chengyan had some regrets: "It can only be shown to this extent now, it's a pity."

Xiao Lan said softly: "It is the greatest misfortune in her life to know you."

He remembered that at that time, his mother's health was not good, and he was hospitalized once.

It was then that he tried to cook, and as a result he burned his hands, and then entered the advent world for the first time.

Later, his mother accompanied him to struggle in a difficult life, and taught him with all his heart, such a mental exhaustion will only cause the condition to deteriorate faster and faster, and finally let go.

Without Xiao Chengyan, without Xiao Lan himself, Wen Qi would probably live happily and smoothly, even if he is terminally ill, he can leave with the careful care of his family.

Perhaps even herself is part of her misfortune. Xiao Lan thought.

Xiao Chengyan's voice interrupted Xiao Lan's thoughts: "Silly son, you want to save her. But can you do it?"

"You can't cure her disease, you can't solve the debt, and even you can't treat me who made this situation."

"Aren't you very reconciled?"

Xiao Lan turned to look at him: "Don't use words to excite me, where are you? What happened to your disappearance?"

Xiao Chengyan pointed to the lava rolling around him, and his smile didn't matter: "I'm dead, the body is dissolved in this lava pool, and what you are talking to is just a little bit of consciousness left by me, even if you want to take me I won’t get any scum in my bones."

This time Xiao Lan was really shocked.

Although Cheng Wenyi talked about Xiao Chengyan's death, Xiao Lan always felt that he was holding back the big move in the dark.

The result is now...

Xiao Chengyan, really dead?
