Chapter 173: dream

After returning to the player's room, Xiao Lan felt that he was covered with sea water.
The semi-dry sea water sticks the clothes on the body, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, now that they have returned to a safe place, they naturally do not need to endure this discomfort.
Xiao Lan rushed into the bathroom and took a shower.
The warm water wrapped around the body, washed away the stains on the body, and washed away the fatigue caused by the battle.
After coming out, Xiao Lan was not in a hurry to train.
The two returned to the real world first, and relaxed a little too tightly.
Back to the real home.
Xiao Lan turned on the TV easily and watched the news while ordering takeaways on the app.
The special service of take-out is a rare item in the real world. How can you not experience it when you come back?
"Recently, there have been many missing incidents. The police reminded the citizens not to go out alone, and to avoid going out late at night. If you see a suspicious person, please call the report..."
Xiao Lan's attention was attracted by the news.
He changed several news channels and read the Internet news, and almost all mentioned a large number of recent disappearances.
Not only this city and the whole country, but also other parts of the world have many disappearances. For a time, the whole world has become panic-stricken, and people have speculated what happened.
Xiao Lan's brows grew worse when she looked at her, so might such a big movement be related to the coming to the world?
Did the plan to bring the advent of the world to all mankind begin?
Luo also saw the news, he proposed: "Let's go out and see"
Xiao Lan thought for a while, or he could see for himself what was going on.
It was already evening.
As soon as the two went out, Xiao Lan noticed something was wrong next door.
Uncle Zhang’s vegetable field was deserted, and Tie Han Han was lying in the vegetable field with boredom. He looked listless and didn’t even bite his slippers.
Xiao Lan had a bad hunch in her heart, did Grandpa Zhang have an accident?
He walked quickly to the yard next door.
"Oh~" Tie Han Han saw an acquaintance, stood up and shook his tail, and was excited with a rare one.
Xiao Lan touched Tiehan's dog head and shouted into the house without lights: "Grandpa Zhang?"
There was no response indoors.
When Xiao Lan wanted to try again, the voice of Uncle Zhang came from behind: "Xiao Xiao, tip, are you back?"
Xiao Lan turned his head and saw Uncle Zhang getting off a luxury car.
He was almost the same as before.
Uncle Zhang used to wear slipper vests and big pants all day long, squatting in the vegetable field with an untrimmed look.
He now has a suit and leather shoes, his hair is neatly combed, his expression is a little tired, but he still looks majestic and calm.
Xiao Lan was a little surprised: "Grandpa Zhang, are you?"
Uncle Zhang motioned for the driver to stop and came over with a helpless smile: "Do you know the recent disappearance? My son also disappeared last night, and the company's operation cannot be left alone. I had to take over temporarily."
Xiao Lan asked: "Did your son's affairs progress?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head: "No, he was missing when he drove off work, the car was still there, but the person was gone. I used a lot of methods, or I couldn't find any clues, I just disappeared out of thin air. same."
Xiao Lan said: "Sorry."
At the same time, he had an ominous hunch in his heart—
This disappearance is very similar to the way it came to the world.
Uncle Zhang waved his hand: "No need to apologize, although I don't know exactly what happened, but the more you can't panic at this time."
"Tianyi is an old man who was born at the age of forty, but he is very arrogant and has not been a vulnerable person since childhood. I believe he can solve the problems he faces."
Although he said so, he still sighed: "Unfortunately, my old father can only help him manage the company, but he can't do much help..."
Xiao Lan thought about it and said to him: "If your son comes back one day, you can ask him to come to me and we can play games together and relax."
Uncle Zhang is puzzled: "Thank you, but Tianyi he doesn't play..."
Suddenly, he met Xiao Lan's eyes.
Those eyes were full of seriousness, and Grandpa Zhang suddenly understood that Xiao Lan was not comforting himself.
He seemed to be suggesting something, but for some reason he could not make it clear.
Xiao Lan also thought that he did not have much time in reality, and the time was unstable. In order to avoid any accidents, he added: "If I am not at home, you can also contact Cheng Wenyi, remember to be as soon as possible."
Uncle Zhang seemed to see a little hope, he nodded: "Okay, thank you."
After saying goodbye to Uncle Zhang, Xiao Lan went home.
Luo gave him the business card of Sao Bao left by Cheng Wenyi.
Xiao Lan dialed the phone.
It was Cheng Wenyi who answered the phone.
His tone was consistent laziness and arrogance: "Xiao Lan? Is there anything to do with me?"
Xiao Lan didn't really want to know how Cheng Wenyi knew his phone number. He briefly told Cheng Wenyi about Uncle Zhang's family.
"Brother Tianyi..." Cheng Wenyi's tone became solemn. "You can rest assured that I will send someone to pay attention."
"You don't have much time to stay in reality, it's better to give it to me. There is a special department in Samsara to deal with the things that help low-level players. Once he shows up, I can take him directly here."
Xiao Lan said: "Thanks, I owe you a favor."
Cheng Wenyi: "No, Brother Tianyi is not nearly a few years older than me. Although he was a generation older, we grew up together since childhood, and the relationship is not bad. This sentence should be I said to you."
Solving Uncle Zhang's matter, Xiao Lan said another thing: "Maybe soon, we will have the opportunity to cooperate."
Cheng Wenyi: "Oh? So fast? You are confident enough. I hope you have a bigger chance of winning, otherwise I won't bet on you with the entire round."
Xiao Lan laughed lightly: "Relax, not now, but I will try my best as soon as possible."
Cheng Wenyi's voice came: "Hum, wait and see."
Hanging up the phone, the two went out together.
The street was obviously depressed a lot.
People coming and going on the street are hurriedly walking, everyone's expression is very nervous, almost no orders.
Seeing that it was going to be late, the pace of everyone going back was even more urgent.
They came to a restaurant they had been to before.
The number of guests in the restaurant is also significantly less than half.
The long queue of popular restaurants used to be a meal, but it is still not full.
It seems that for the sake of courage, the guests in the restaurant are also a group of people, and few people like them have only two people.
After ordering food, Xiao Lan and Luo watched the surrounding movements while eating.
Due to the rapid advancement of his constitution, as long as Xiao Lan is willing, he can hear the conversation in almost the entire restaurant.
"What do you think of the latest?"
"I think there are some transnational criminal groups that are making big moves, otherwise how the world is going to have an accident."
"No, I think it's a country's way against us, otherwise why do we have the most people who have accidents here?"
"Actually...I don't think it's necessarily a person. How can people do so many people are missing without being caught."
"You mean...had a ghost?"
"Well... don't be scary."
"No, no, I don't mean ghosts, I mean-aliens."
"what?"
"Alien?"
"Yeah, maybe the aliens are catching the earth to do experiments? I tell you, there are many scientific studies showing that aliens really exist, I will show you..."
"Cut~ You are the least interesting."
"Aliens are too nonsense."
Xiao Lan and Luo couldn't help looking at each other.
Who knows, the most ridiculous conclusion seems to be the one closest to the truth.
But at the same time, another idea appeared in their hearts in unison-
time is limited.
After dinner, the two returned home.
After taking a shower, Xiao Lan changed into a comfortable nightgown and walked out of the bathroom.
Luo has prepared black tea for him, just like every time before.
Xiao Lan skillfully sat on the sofa drinking tea, while Luo took his towel and wiped his hair.
Such scenes often happen, it seems to have become a daily routine between the two.
The aroma of black tea combined with Luo's gentle power made Xiao Lan feel a little sleepy.
Realizing his difficulty, Luo gently pressed Xiao Lan's shoulders and put his head on his lap.
Xiao Lan lay on the side of Luo's leg along Li Dao's side, wiping his hair with his back to him, and asked softly, "What will happen to him..."
Xiao Lan did not mention who "he" is, but both of them knew what they meant, which was referring to the master who came to the world.
Luo: "Probably will find a way to implement his previous ideas."
Xiao Lan was a little worried: "Will he find you?"
Luo’s hand wiping his hair kept on:
He still can’t find me in a short time. After all, there are so many games, he can’t monitor all the game fields anytime, anywhere. Just like this time, the probability of hitting him is actually Very small."
Xiao Lan thought for a while: "Then he will send contract players to find in the game, just like before."
Luo said: "Yes, according to my understanding of him, there will be a large number of contract players in the game field."
Xiao Lan frowned slightly, and didn't speak.
The situation seems to be heading in a bad direction.
Luo smiled: "Are you worried about me, sir?"
Xiao Lan did not conceal: "Of course. I should have a fight with the contract now, but my combat experience may still be inferior to those players who have been in the advent world for many years. If I meet the contract players, the outcome is still unpredictable. "
Not to mention that it is the of the match, Luo and Xiao Chengyan did not win the guy, Xiao Lan does not think that with his own and Luo can be dealt with.
Xiao Lan sighed silently in his heart. The speed of his growth seemed to be unable to keep up with the speed of changes.
Luo stopped the motion of wiping her hair: "Don't embarrass yourself, rest assured, I will be fine."
Xiao Lan gave a soft "huh" sound.
The two stopped talking, and Luo continued to wipe his hair again.
There was silence in the room, only the slight rustling of the towel and hair rubbing.
Xiao Lan's breathing gradually calmed down. The person he trusted most was surrounded by a stable environment. He just slept unconsciously.
Luo put down the towel in his hand and touched Xiao Lan, who had almost dried her hair.
He gently reached out and stroked Xiao Lan's cheek.
He started with the same warm body temperature as him, with the soft texture unique to human skin.
"Sir." Luo called softly.
Xiao Lan, who was asleep, did not respond, and still slept peacefully. It seemed that he would only sleep so deeply beside Luo.
Luo's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to embrace Xiao Lan gently, and walked steadily toward the bedroom.
After gently putting Xiao Lan on the bed, Luo did not withdraw as usual.
This time Luo also lay on the bed, stretched his arms around Xiao Lan, and lay beside him in a hug gesture.
Although non-humans do not need sleep, it is not important.
Luo studied his eyes as Xiao Lan closed his eyes.
I don't know how long it has been.
Luo felt that he seemed to be in a wonderful state.
He saw Xiao Lan smiling at him.
But his consciousness is very clear. Xiao Lan should be lying right beside him and sleeping.
Xiao Lan is wearing a loose white bathrobe.
The strap of the bathrobe was not fastened, revealing his figure with a beautiful texture, and even looking a little further down, he could vaguely see the abdominal muscles and the mermaid line.
Xiao Lan opened his arms to him and opened his lips slightly, calling him: "Luo."
This word is the beginning of all connections between them and the name that will accompany him for a lifetime.
With just one word, Luo felt that his soul would be boiling.
An impulse and joy rose from his heart.
He stepped forward, reaching out to give the other party a hot hug.
Perhaps, there are others...
But he saw his raised arm.
The arm was covered with cracks, and the human skin became mottled, like the ugliest defective product in the world.
Luo's heart was startled.
He looked up at Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan still smiled at him and opened his arms, as if waiting for a hug.
However, just behind Xiao Lan, a white spike was suddenly thrusting into his vest, but he didn't feel it.
Luo's heart was filled with panic and restlessness.
He wanted to protect Xiao Lan from behind him, and wanted to tell him that there was danger behind him.
But at this moment, he could not make any sound, and even his arm was gradually disintegrating into pieces, not only unable to protect, but even unable to grasp the other party.
He can do nothing.
He just watched the white spikes pierce Xiao Lan's chest.
The blood spattered like a slow-motion picture.
The smile on Xiao Lan's face disappeared, his eyes were wide open, his arms were still in a stretched posture, but his body fell backwards like a lost doll.
Behind Xiao Lan, there is a bottomless white abyss.
He just fell, fell, dropped... little by little disappeared into Luo's sight.
In the end there was nothing.
There is only a dazzling white in the whole world.
Luo suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at the familiar ceiling and the soft mattress underneath, Xiao Lan is still sleeping peacefully in her arms.
The reality is still as it is, everything just seems like an illusion.
Is it a dream...?
There was a trace of surprise in Luo's heart.
Will he dream now?
He reached out and touched his core, and there seemed to be a sharp pain just now.
The pain was more severe than when the master used a core attack before.
Luo looked at Xiao Lan's sleeping face and forced him into his arms slightly.
He gently kissed Xiao Lan's head.
A thought flashed in his heart, no matter what, no matter what the price, he would not let this person have an accident.
