Chapter 27 The so-called distance
Mancao is glad that she is not the heroine of girl comics. She is easy to be shy and young... cute. So in this posture, her reaction was just to exhale and say, "I can keep quiet. You let me go first."
Just as the other party let go of her, as she just relaxed, the light of the communicator flashed, "Blueberry yogurt is establishing a video state with you..." She immediately reacted, cut off the connection, and set up automatic refusal to establish a video state.
The end of the successful connection is: the voice of the blueberry... attracted the attention of the people outside to the wooden house.
Seeing that her cutting method was clean and neat, he spoke highly of her with his eyes. Then he continued to monitor the situation outside the house, which was much quieter than at the beginning. Maybe it was infighting that many people had taken away.
When Mancao saw that he was paying attention to the situation outside, she felt at ease. She stretched out her index finger and touched the book on the bookcase beside her with her belly. The book left a mark because it erased the dust that was originally attached to it. There are a large number of bookcases and books in the room, but each one looks old and dirty.
Generally... No one wants to read the books here, right? Mancao smiled silently and pulled out a book recording the history of the elf royal family.
"In the 402nd year of the first year of the elf clan, Lilia, the third princess of the elf clan, was born with red light all over her body. The second princess divined overnight, saying that she was a genius who could exert the fire magic to the extreme. She refined the best wand to the third princess with the most valuable trophy Hongyan ore obtained by the eldest princess's expedition to the werewolf clan, and named it the third princess Fang, Lilia's staff.
She casually turned a page with such a paragraph on it. Because it was a familiar name, I read it carefully. It records a lot of history about the elf royal family, and she has a general understanding of the story of Lilia and her two sisters. Close the book, the left hand is gray, and the cover of the book is much cleaner.
If it hadn't been for some traces of being touched on the book cover, she would have really suspected that this was abandoned by the game company. She roughly looked at the titles of these books. There are many books that record history, and there are also many books that can be called game secrets, such as what maps, what materials, and what can be synthesized.
There is no movement outside the house. Probably everyone has left. But he still lay on the wooden wall in case of fraud. And Mancao has been around the house several times, boringly turning over the books in the room and studying how he got here for a while.
She found out the low-level cloth discarded by the other party in the package and began to wipe the dust on her hand, and there were two pieces of equipment contributed by the other party in her package.
"It seems that they have really left." After listening for a while, he turned around and said in a low voice.
Mancao knew that he was still a little worried, so he nodded silently.
"Don't sleep in that place next time. It's dangerous." In the past few days, he often heard his killers mention the name "wild grass" in the game. He inexplicably went to the BBS that he didn't go often and saw the gossip post.
She nodded again and whispered seriously, "Well, I won't fall from it and die."
"..." He stared at Mancao speechlessly and didn't understand why the girl was sometimes very smart, and sometimes so... natural.
"I mean..." He just wanted to explain what he meant, but he choked back. "Forget it... protect yourself!"
Mancao looked at the entangled man puzzledly and asked for a moment, "Do they chase you every day?"
The man sat on the wooden floor, leaned against the wooden wall, put his arms on the knees of his legs, and his head up, "... sort of."
"You... are so brave." Mancao looked at such a man and muttered.
"What?" The man looked at her doubtfully.
"... Obviously, you are chased and killed by so many people, and you can still log in to the game with that ID every day." Compared with him, if it is her who is chased, she will probably not dare to go online.
She looked at him, who had been speechless for a long time, and said, "It's better for you to change your account."
"... It can be said that the game characters can be changed. What about life? Can you live a life? Because you don't want to live, just change your body? Then look friendly in front of those who have hated it as if nothing had happened? The man sneered as if he had heard some funny and annoying jokes.
"...It's just a game." Mancao said with some confidence. She remembered the man who was looking for Anne yesterday.
"No matter what you do here, can you comfort yourself like this, saying that you don't have to be responsible for what you have done in the game? Because it's just a game, so if you are serious, you will lose? This is really... a joke in a joke." What the man said was probably a joke in front of others, but Mancao's mood could not be relaxed.
As he said, even if it is a game, it is a part of life and something to be responsible for.
"...Even if the game makes you very unhappy, it doesn't matter if someone chases you like a boss every day?" Mancao pulled up a bitter smile.
"Before I became a killer, I had the consciousness of being chased and killed like this." The man thought she was talking about him and answered disapprovingly.
"...Even if it's an unwarranted crime, a sudden betrayal, doesn't it matter?" What happened in the game next door is probably in another game, and she can't forget it.
"...What's wrong with you?" The man noticed that her face was getting paler and paler.
Mancao was slightly worried about her eyes on the man and was a little strange. "The production technology of the current game is really good. You can clearly see the expressions and movements of other players, and clearly hear the voice and tone of other players..." And the invisible human heart, whether in the game or in reality, is That's unpredictable.
The man looked at the grass that sneered like him before. Although he had doubts in his heart, he could probably imagine something. He couldn't deny that when he heard her say those words, he did think of that person.
No need for a crime, a sudden betrayal...
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. It was just a joke. Please don't mind." Mancao reacted, quickly adjusted his mentality and apologized to the other party.
She can understand what the man said, and she can agree with it, but... she really can't be like him, because she doesn't want to face the things she doesn't want to face.
Her habitual courtesy suddenly widened the distance between the two people. Obviously, she was in the same room, only a few steps away, but her smile became a refusal ditch, lying between the two.
Although he only met her a few times, he felt that at this moment, it was even more strange than when he first met.
