Song Yan looked innocent, "I didn't."
Zhu Li wouldn't believe him even if she tried.
"Will she be alright?"
This person was filled with resentment; killing her would do him no good.
Song Yan fiddled with her soft, delicate fingers, replying absentmindedly, "Probably not."
Zhu Li released his hand and walked forward a few steps, suddenly reaching out towards the wall.
Instead of hitting it, her hand passed through.
She withdrew her hand and looked at Song Yan, "Who exactly are you?"
Song Yan put on his innocent face, "I'm me, what do you want to ask? You said you liked me before, and now you're doubting me, you liar."
She almost forgot, he was just a character in the game.
And she was the player; after the mission ended, she would either leave or die.
In other words, they only had a few days.
Zhu Li looked at his somewhat guilty expression and didn't press further.
This little drama queen was truly bizarre. They had both appeared here in soul form, yet he was an illusion. Digging deeper, it meant his soul was also here, so where was his body?
Was it in the outside world?
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about how to catch a little drama queen who lies with a straight face?"
Song Yan: "..." Was she talking about him?
This woman was really bold to dare talk about catching him.
Hmph!
No one could catch him, not even in their wildest dreams!
He tickled Zhu Li's palm, looking at her beautiful and calm face, and for some reason felt she was incredibly attractive. Her eyes, nose, and mouth all hit his aesthetic points.
Especially her mouth; when slightly pursed, it looked so plump and moist, making him want to kiss it.
Kiss...
"How did you two end up here? Where is she?"
Song Yan glanced over and glared fiercely at Nan Jiang Zi.
Excellent, the person he was most interested in moments ago had now made it onto his blacklist.
Why now, of all times? Ruining his good mood.
"We don't know; we aren't responsible for watching her."
Nan Jiang Zi was baffled by his retort.
Zhu Li explained, "She suddenly ran off earlier, for some reason, chasing after you."
Nan Jiang Zi looked at them with a hint of curiosity, feeling more and more that he couldn't understand these two.
In a normal scenario, there should only be one of them. Yet, they had been separated many times. If it were one of them, the other should have already met with misfortune.
But if they were both involved, they wouldn't need to make such small movements, nor would they disappear simultaneously, needlessly arousing suspicion.
Song Yan asked him irritably, "What are you looking at?"
Nan Jiang Zi withdrew his gaze and slightly lowered his brows, "Nothing. I was wondering if I had offended you somehow."
Song Yan "humphed," neither confirming nor denying.
They still hadn't found the missing person and had now lost another. This was not good news. They had no coordinates, so they had to retreat for now and look for others.
He led the way, with Zhu Li and Song Yan following behind, still engaged in their little private acts. This time, Nan Jiang Zi didn't pay them any mind.
If both of them were involved, he wasn't confident he could escape their grasp.
"Hey, go this way."
When they reached a fork in the road, Nan Jiang Zi instinctively moved towards the locations of those few points, but was stopped by someone behind him.
He turned back, "Why?"
Song Yan said with displeasure, "What 'why'? Just go where I tell you to, why so many questions?" Su Dan Novels
Zhu Li stood beside him, looking at Nan Jiang Zi with a half-smile that made his scalp tingle.
Was it her?
"Hurry up, or you can go that way by yourself." Song Yan found him to be an unbearable third wheel.
Nan Jiang Zi suppressed the doubts in his heart and retreated, following them forward.
After passing through dozens of rooms, they faintly heard the sound of a girl crying ahead.
Nan Jiang Zi immediately became vigilant.
Hearing someone cry in a place like this was usually not a good sign.
When they rounded a corner, the scene they expected didn't appear. It was Wu Yu.
She was squatting in a corner, crying.
"Hey."
She looked up and saw the three of them. She immediately stood up, "You! What are you doing here?"
Her eyes darted around, and her suspicious and defensive posture clearly revealed her thoughts.
"We have shadows," Nan Jiang Zi pointed to the black shadows on the ground. "Why did you run off by yourself?"
Wu Yu choked back a sob, "After you left, those two suddenly disappeared. I was scared, so I wanted to chase after you, but you were gone too."
Nan Jiang Zi: "..."
He looked at the two beside him.
Song Yan shook his head innocently, his fair and soft face etched with sincerity, "We were in that place the whole time, you saw it too. She suddenly screamed and ran off. We tried to call her, but she didn't respond."
Arguing at a time like this was clearly useless. Nan Jiang Zi said, "It's fine as long as you're okay. This is a game world; anything can happen. Let's go quickly, which way?"
Wu Yu composed herself, glanced at the screen, and pointed to the right, "This way."
The three immediately followed.
The two still walked at the back, and Song Yan couldn't help but think of causing trouble again.
Zhu Li tightly gripped his hand and brought it to her lips, kissing it.
Song Yan froze.
Zhu Li spoke as if coaxing a child, "Stop messing around. I don't like coming out to look for people. I want to be with you."
