Chapter 265 Lovers 24

Xia Xiaotong hasn't been online in the game for quite some time.

She always felt uneasy whenever she saw the display showing that there was only 10% of love left.

It's like a progress bar. Perhaps, when it reaches zero, something will happen that she will find hard to accept.

Moreover, she felt more and more that An Xu in the game was a little weird. Whether he spoke or did things... he seemed to reveal a weirdness that she couldn't describe.

"Hey, Miss, are you listening to me?"

A hand stretched out in front of her and waved. Xia Xiaotong came back to her senses and looked at the person opposite her apologetically.

The person opposite was called Mo Ling'er, and at this moment she was looking at her speechlessly.

"I said, not long ago, I encountered moderation in the display world. Yes, the one in the game."

"There's another guy with yellow hair next to him... Uh, calling him yellow hair seems a bit insulting. He's that kind of... Anyway, there's still a difference between him and the yellow-haired guy. That is... Although his hair is golden, his appearance and temperament are still worlds apart from the yellow-haired guy."

Hearing this, Ye Jiang, who was sitting next to Xia Xiaotong, seemed to be thinking about something.

The image of the Riddler emerged in his mind. He was an NPC like Temperance, and although they had not communicated much, he left a particularly deep impression on him.

"It can't be 'world'?"

He looked at the girl opposite him and asked.

"The world? Huh? Is there such a person?"

Not only Mo Ling'er was confused, but even Xia Xiaotong, who was sitting next to him, cast a puzzled look at him.

"Yes, you don't understand that game world yet. There are so many different types of NPCs in the game, and there are so many adventures. I somehow entered a temple called the 'World Hall' and saw the world."

"That guy has short, golden hair, and he gives off an eerily calm vibe. He speaks a bit strangely, and his face is also very... well, handsome in the popular aesthetic."

Ye Jiang recalled, and soon he saw the girl opposite nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes, now I really want to believe that you have seen him!"

"But... doesn't that NPC named Temperance always wear a black cloak and wrap himself tightly? How did you know that person was the Temperance in the game?"

Xia Xiaotong is more concerned about this issue.

"It's simple. I've seen his true face."

Mo Ling'er replied matter-of-factly, "I've been browsing various forums lately and even discovered something interesting. I wonder if you know of a player in the game who's quite the celebrity, named Shi Si."

"Jiezhi... looks like Shisi, as if they were cut from the same mold."

"Wha...what?"

Xia Xiaotong felt like her brain had crashed at this moment, and a person's shadow appeared in her mind.

"Shi Si... is that NPC control?"

she muttered.

"That's impossible. I've never heard of NPCs and players being able to switch freely... Maybe they look the same."

Ye Jiang calmed himself down and managed to stay calm.

"If that's true, then this game is too difficult, isn't it?"

"Game characters, NPCs, players, and even... the real world... If Jiezhi is Shi Si, and he even comes to the real world... it's really terrifying to think about it..."

Mo Linger rolled her eyes. "Big Brother, have you watched too many fantasy movies? They can't be like those NPCs in the amusement park. Maybe they're special guests of this game, or they have some special status with a 'divine gift' ability that allows them to change their identities and factions in the game?"

"Can you be more materialistic? There are no gods or ghosts in this world."

“Don’t scare yourself.”

"Instead, I think these two guys are probably so well-modeled that their data was used by this game company to model NPCs."

"After all, he is definitely a handsome guy with a different style."

Xia Xiaotong was silent for a while and felt that it made sense.

Ye Jiang nodded. He had been slowly getting in touch with his father's company, and this kind of thing had been done in the company before.

After all... he thought about it, he also knew Shi Si, and when it came to modeling, there seemed to be nothing to say.

Perhaps, Mo Linger's guess is more in line with reality.

"Because that day I thought that person was Temperance, but judging by his reaction, it seemed that he knew his name was Temperance, but he had no idea what Temperance had done."

"Wait a moment."

Ye Jiang quickly discovered the loophole.

"He knows his name is Temperance?"

"If your guess is correct, shouldn't he be unaware of his name being Temperance, or even deny it? Could it be that the game company not only used his model, but also his name?"

"We all used our real names when entering the game. Shi Si is his real name, right?"

"This person...isn't this too unreasonable?"

Ye Jiang tried to think about it and find a reasonable reason, but from what he knew, no matter what he said, it didn't make sense.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm just guessing. You should ask the game makers about this. How would I know?"

"I just know that this world is real and materialistic."

"Do you have any contact information for Temperance?"

Xia Xiaotong looked at Mo Ling'er and said, "Perhaps, if we find this person and ask him in person, everything will be clear."

Mo Ling'er shook her head with some regret.

"Unfortunately, even if you want to communicate with others, they may not agree."

"The last time I asked them, it felt like they knew nothing about any of this, or about the game at all. Even when I said something or asked some questions, they looked at me... like they were looking at a kid who was fooling around for no apparent reason."

Mo Ling'er was a little angry when she said this. "That guy didn't say anything, but that yellow-haired guy gave me the impression that I was saying something ridiculous... impatient."

"Obviously, they don't want to ask about this kind of thing."

"and--"

Mo Ling'er looked at Xia Xiaotong across from her, "Besides, this news isn't that important, is it? After all, you've already found my brother."

Xia Xiaotong, however, held her chin with both hands, looking a little worried.

"Hey, hey, hey, A-di is a really nice guy. What's that expression on your face?"

Seeing Xia Xiaotong like this, Mo Linger was a little speechless. "You're so anxious when you can't find her, and then you're so sad when you find her. I really don't understand you young ladies."

Mo Ling'er spoke a little rudely.

"Hey, you!"

Ye Jiang stood up.

"Okay, I'm just telling you guys. Anyway, it looks like you don't need me anymore, so I'll be leaving now."

"Farewell."

Mo Ling'er said this, crossed her arms over her chest, and left unhappily.
