Chapter 484: Flowers Fall

This figure appeared quietly and stood there for who knows how long.

Zheng Xun clenched the hatchet in his hand.

This is inside the dungeon. After he and Yunjing enter the main entrance, the dungeon should be closed and no other players will enter.

The current scene is a laboratory, with these horrifying experimental reports on the desktop and drawers. No one knows how many innocent lives have been lost in this place.

With so many experimental subjects dying tragically, it is not impossible for Yun Qitian to use a few of them to hinder players in the dungeon.

The surrounding environment was extremely quiet. The figure's back was facing the moonlight, and its face could not be seen clearly.

It can only be roughly judged from the body shape that this is a young girl.

Zheng Xun actually felt a little uncomfortable. There was a high probability that the opponent was a monster and he had to defeat it to pass.

But when he thought about how these monsters were formed, and how even if he died, his soul would not be able to rest in peace, and he would have to smash him to death with a hammer, Zheng Xun's mood was a bit complicated.

Complexity is complex, but what needs to be done still needs to be done.

The opponent has not attacked for a long time. I don't know if he is holding back some big move.

"If you don't do it, I'll come first."

He had a discussion with the monster and was actually a little polite.

When the other party heard him speak, he actually took a step back.

?

A question mark slowly appeared above Zheng Xun's head.

What does it mean to take a step back?

He lost his patience and picked up the hammer and hit it directly. No matter what it is, it can't withstand this blow.

But at this time, the moonlight passed through the clouds and shone into the building. Zheng Xun used the moonlight to see clearly the face of the figure in front of him.

She has a soft face and a clean temperament. Because of her shyness, she always habitually avoids the eyes of others.

"Xiaoyin..."

Zheng Xun put the hammer down urgently, almost missing his waist.

"Ouch——"

Zheng Xun immediately switched the hammer mode and turned it into a squeaking inflatable hammer.

Such a big and scary move made Xiaoyin panic for a moment.

"Zheng Xun, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Zheng Xun waved his hand and told her not to worry.

Then he stood up again, facing Xiaoyin, and looked at her carefully.

As an NPC in the dungeon, Xiaoyin's numerical values ​​are all set, so she will not get sick, become haggard, or grow up.

She still maintains her student spirit and is even wearing the uniform of Huaiyin No. 4 Middle School.

Their school uniform is very beautiful, a small dark red suit. Girls wear a suit jacket with a knee-length skirt, which looks better than boys.

Xiao Yin smiled after confirming that the person in front of him was Zheng Xun.

"I just heard your voice downstairs, and I thought I heard you wrong."

"Uh...you've been here all along? How did you end up in this copy."

While Zheng Xun was talking to Xiao Yin, he looked back at Yun Jing.

Yunjing was wary, but did not say a word. Instead, he followed Zheng Xun in case this weak-looking girl suddenly mutated.

Xiaoyin showed a helpless expression, and her demeanor and movements became more and more human-like.

"This is not of my own free will. Zheng Xun, you have seen me in several previous dungeons. Since the Huaiyin dungeon was cleared, everything in the dungeon will disappear, but I don't know why, I have not been cleared. I Now it’s just a bunch of unstable data that could be wiped out at any time.”

Even in the danger of being "obliterated at any time", Xiao Yin appeared more than once to remind Zheng Xun.

She even stopped Zheng Xun from discovering the truth. She was afraid that Zheng Xun would not be able to accept it if he discovered the origin of the White Tower.

Xiao Yin, like He Ziyuan, is an NPC designed by Zheng Xun very early.

They are different from other NPCs in that they seem to carry more human emotions.

Zheng Xun and Xiao Yin were walking in the corridor. Xiao Yin seemed to be particularly talkative today.

"You still made it this far, Zheng Xun," she said a little sadly, "Yunqi Group is the last copy. If you make it this far, it means that you have made up your mind and are ready to pay any price."

Xiaoyin put his hands behind his back and intertwined his fingers.

"Zheng Xun, actually I was thinking that it would be good for you to stay in the White Tower world forever and become a very good White Tower player, because this is your home.

What is the truth about the White Tower, so what? Life is already very tiring. If you carry so many lives on your shoulders again, you will collapse from exhaustion. "

Xiao Yin spoke slowly, and Zheng Xun barely responded.

Xiao Yin seemed to want to persuade Zheng Xun to give up this copy.

"I can take you away. This copy is not completely sealed. I know where the exit is."

The girl walked around in front of Zheng Xun, blocked his way, and looked at him worriedly.

"Zheng Xun, I'm telling you all this because I really don't want you to go into despair. It's not your fault that things have developed to this point.

Even if you don't chase the truth, you can live a good life. Rather, that is the life you should live.

Are you going to sacrifice silently here and die anonymously? Zheng Xun, even if you successfully close the White Tower, while people outside are cheering for victory and crying with joy, your bones can only grow cold here. No one knows how much sacrifice you have made, and die in silence. Is this what you want? "

Every word Xiao Yin wrote was for Zheng Xun. She didn't want Zheng Xun to die, and she didn't want Zheng Xun to die in such a lonely state.

While the girl was talking, Zheng Xun kept looking quietly at the moon outside the window.

The color of the moon changed from white to blood red again, shining in the corridor, and the two of them seemed to have walked into a darkroom where photos were developed.

Zheng Xun looked at Xiao Yin and spoke quietly.

"It's really nice to see you, Xiaoyin. I've always wanted to apologize to you."

"Zheng Xun, I don't need it, as long as you..."

"Please hear me out."

Zheng Xun recalled the original design of Xiao Yin in his mind. At that time, she was still a pixel villain wearing a red suit. She had no voiceover and could only start conversations with the player's mouse clicks.

In Zheng Xun's setting, Xiao Yin is an NPC that is difficult to discover. She won't stand at a fixed location like other NPCs, stupidly waiting for players to come and take tasks.

She will play hide and seek with the player, and only by finding her can the way to the final level be found.

She is difficult to find, and sometimes players wander around the map and cannot find her after walking around for several times. In fact, she quietly shrank herself and squatted on a red flower, with only two eyes exposed, secretly observing the player's every move.

If there were no players, she would be watering the only two pots of flowers in the corridor. If the player doesn't move for a long time, she will take out a small water bottle from behind and water the flowers.

She has a kind nature, and if the player is about to encounter danger, she will stand in front of the player, meaning there are monsters on the road ahead, so don't continue walking.

This is a reverse reminder for players. If Xiao Yin makes such an action, it means that there must be a monster ahead that drops equipment and explodes gold coins.

"I originally thought there was no chance, but I'm lucky to still be able to see you here. When I was studying in Huaiyin No. 4 Middle School, I just asked you to come to my class to find me when you were bullied, but I didn't take the initiative to do so. Look at you. I wrote you into the copy without permission and made you experience the most painful things in your life over and over again. These are my irreparable mistakes."

Xiaoyin's eyes flashed with tears, and she shook her head.

"I won't say 'forgive you'. You are not wrong, so there is no way to talk about the word 'forgive'."

Zheng Xun stared at her and said softly.

"It really looks like it, but it's not her."

Zheng Xun turned the hammer in his hand into a knife, blowing past Xiao Yin like a gust of wind.

The girl's long hair was raised, and her expression changed from disbelief to relief.

She is not the real Xiaoyin, but an illusory shadow made by Yun Qitian.

The real Xiaoyin had been eliminated long ago and disappeared silently into the white tower, like a flower quietly falling to the ground.

…

Zheng Xun stood there and turned around, Xiao Yin was no longer there.

But at the same time, he discovered that Yun Jing, who had been following him, had disappeared.
