Chapter 918: Test of Courage (Part 2)

For Asuna, the forest at night was no stranger.

After all, when Fangzheng gave them special training at the beginning, they basically rested in the safe area of ​​the forest every night, but at that time they were all together, so Asuna was able to hold back. but now………

"Hei, black cat, you can stay beside me, say something."

Clutching the black cat's hand firmly, Asuna looked around and spoke in a low voice. She didn't dare to look at the black cat, because right now the black cat was wearing a white mask with some weird patterns smeared on it. In normal terms, Asuna would just laugh it off as a black cat with a second attack.

but now………

"Clang clang clang..."

"Black Cat, can't you put your weapon away?"

Hearing the sound of the black cat's scythe clinking on the ground, Asuna couldn't help complaining. Hearing Asuna's complaint, the black cat grinned.

"Isn't that the atmosphere? This happens in many horror movies. You see, don't those murderers always drag the chainsaw or chains on the ground before killing people..."

"Ahhhhh!! Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it, don't say it---!!"

Hearing this, Asuna finally couldn't bear it any longer, shook off the black cat's hand, and squatted on the ground with her head in her hands. The black cat looked at Asuna with a smile, and then she seemed to think of something again, and deliberately lowered her voice.

"But having said that, Asuna, do you know one of the tricks often used in horror movies?"

"What, what?"

Asuna instinctively didn't want to answer the black cat's question, but she would be even more afraid if the black cat didn't speak at this time, so Asuna shivered and curled up into a ball, and at the same time asked anxiously. The black cat looked at the trembling Asuna and continued talking.

"That's right, a group of people went on an adventure, and then they went looking for ghosts, but what these people didn't know was that the ghost they were looking for was already among these people. It's like now..."

Speaking of this, the black cat's voice became deeper and deeper.

"...Do you know who I am? Do you really think I'm a black cat?"

"Black, black cat...?!"

Hearing the black cat's words, Asuna trembled. She raised her head tremblingly and looked at the black cat in front of her. Then Asuna saw the black cat reach out and slowly take off the mask on her face. mask, and then...

"Wow!!"

Accompanied by a scream, Asuna yelled in fright, and the next moment, the black cat that took off its mask laughed and covered its stomach and rolled on the ground.

"Hahahaha, Asuna, you are too timid, it's just a story, how can you be so scared?"

"Really, why are you scaring me like this? I'm going to be angry! Do you know that scaring people can scare people to death!!"

"Sorry sorry sorry."

Looking at the angry Asuna with puffed cheeks, the black cat also smiled and stretched out its hand, pulling Asuna up from the ground.

"If you do this again..."

However, just when Asuna was about to complain, she suddenly stopped talking and stared at the black cat blankly.

No, to be precise, it was looking behind the black cat.

In the forest behind the black cat, a vague figure was moving around, slowly approaching them.

"That, that, what is that..."

Asuna's eyes widened in horror, and she stretched out her hand to point behind the black cat. Seeing Asuna's reaction, the black cat froze for a moment, and then reacted immediately.

"What? Asuna, are you trying to scare me too? Hahaha, this trick is too old-fashioned, it's not even used in comics..."

However, when the black cat looked at Asuna's expression becoming more and more frightened, she also became a little uneasy. The black cat clenched the scythe tightly, then turned around and looked behind.

"........."

There is no one in the dark forest.

"Huh... As expected, there is no one..."

"Hey."

However, at this moment, accompanied by a voice, the black cat suddenly saw a black figure poking its head out of the bushes!

"Wow ah ah ah ah!!"

This time Asuna couldn't bear it anymore, she screamed and ran away. And the black cat was also taken aback. She held the sickle tightly, looked forward carefully, and then...

"Sophie?"

"Ah... black cat... sorry, please help."

It was Sophie who poked her head out of the bushes. At this moment, the silver-haired girl was lying on her stomach in the bushes, shaking her arms helplessly. The black cat also sighed, and stepped forward to pull her up.

"What are you doing?"

"Ying Lili said that I was responsible for scaring people. I haven't figured out how to scare you. I was going to sneak up on you and scream, but I accidentally slipped my foot..."

Having said this, Sophie blinked and looked around.

"Where's Asuna?"

"Asuna?"

Hearing Sophie's inquiry, the black cat also turned its head and looked around curiously.

At this moment, there was no sign of Asuna around.

At the same time, Fang Zhengzheng and Lyfa were walking side by side on another small road.

Lyfa was lucky. In the end, she got the lottery and formed a team with Fangzheng. Although several friends were jealous and wanted to swap with Lyfa, Lyfa firmly refused.

You are usually pushy when eating your chicken legs, but now you actually want to grab a man from me?

At this moment Lyfa was holding Fang Zheng's arm, walking on the road in silence, at the same time, her face was reddish, and she was panting lightly. It's not that the two of them did something invisible, but just now, they were startled by the members of the combat team disguised as ghosts. In Fangzheng's arms.

By the way, the scary ghost is the "good sister" who begged me to exchange but failed!

If it's really plastic sisterhood, we will break up when we go back!

While secretly cursing her "little sister" in her heart, Lyfa grabbed Fangzheng's arm and walked forward in silence. But at this moment, Fangzheng's voice sounded from Lyfa's ear.

"Your brother...hasn't heard from you yet?"

"..."

Hearing Fangzheng's question, Lyfa's body couldn't help but stiffen, and then she shook her head.

It has been quite a while since Fangzheng proposed to Argo to revise the Survival Manual, and the revised Survival Manual has also become an "electronic publication" as Fangzheng said. The monster's strategy, and there are also many missing person notices --- although situations like Lyfa's are not common, they are not uncommon. Therefore, according to Fang Zheng's opinion, Argo specially opened up a missing person column to let those players find their relatives and friends.

Naturally, Lifa sent her missing person notice to her brother, but it has been two issues in a row, but she hasn't received any reply...

There are only two possibilities, either her brother never read the survival manual, or her brother is dead.

Considering that almost everyone in the game world has a copy of the Survival Manual, the possibility of the former is not high, so the only thing left is...

"...When I was young, my brother and I had a very good relationship."

Holding Fang Zheng's arm, Lyfa said in a low voice.

"Although my brother is not my real brother, we have a very good relationship. But later, for some reason, my brother alienated me. Although I really wanted to ease the relationship with my brother, but at that time because my grandfather wanted me to practice kendo, So I don't have time to communicate with my brother."

Having said that, Lyfa lowered her head.

"Since then, my brother has been obsessed with the Internet and games. To be honest, I don't understand what fun online games are. But this time, because my brother likes this game very much, he even got a rare It was mentioned on the dining table what happened to him during the beta test of the game, so I just wanted to buy it and try it out. On the one hand, the experience of this game makes me feel very novel. On the other hand, I also hope to use this to have a common topic with my brother. If I can like what my brother likes, maybe our relationship will become the same as before..."

Lyfa's voice began to tremble.

"But now... I'm very scared. In fact, I've already thought of it. Maybe my brother's name is in the crossed-out name on the monument of life. It's just that I don't know his name, so I didn't notice it. .Maybe...he is already dead..."

"..."

Fangzheng patted Lyfa's head silently, just as Lyfa said, maybe her brother is dead, because of this...

"If you want to cry, there's no one else here."

"Mr. Fangzheng..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Lyfa raised her head and looked at him, and the next moment, she threw herself into Fang Zheng's arms like this.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......!!!"

A muffled cry came from Fangzheng's chest, while Fangzheng stretched out his hand silently, stroking Lyfa's hair. Obviously, Lyfa has been patient for a long time. In fact, Fangzheng has already noticed this. Ever since the missing person notice was posted, Lyfa occasionally deserted and lost her mind. Originally, Fangzheng wanted to find some time to have a good talk with her, but now it seemed that Lyfa couldn't stand it any longer.

Time passed minute by minute, I don't know how long it took, Lyfa raised her head from Fangzheng's arms embarrassingly, and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fangzheng, I..."

"It's nothing, crying can also make you relax, how do you feel now?"

"Feel much better."

Hearing Fangzheng's question, Lyfa couldn't help laughing "puchi", then she looked at Fangzheng again.

"Mr. Fangzheng gives me the feeling that my brother is the same... But my brother is not as reliable as you, Mr. Fangzheng. If I cry in front of my brother, he will definitely be at a loss. Well, let me comfort him..."

Speaking of this, Lyfa's eyes couldn't help but become erratic.

"Sometimes, I wish I could have a more reliable brother..."

"Um?"

Because Lyfa's last words were a little weak, Fangzheng didn't hear clearly, but looking at Fangzheng in front of her, Lyfa hesitated for a moment, then whispered.

"Well, Mr. Fangzheng, if possible, can I call your brother...?"

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

However, before Lyfa could finish her sentence, Asuna ran over from the other side with a scream and bumped into Fang Zheng's body.
