Zhou Ruins: Unreal Dimension 1

Chapter 28 Companion
"We... did we do something wrong..."

Liu An's eyes were a little dazed.

"What are you talking about, Jin Yao was almost killed by them."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Meng Yuanxi's face.

"I mean, there's no need to kill them."

With the lessons learned from the previous family in the building, Liu An subconsciously regarded them as grassroots people, so he would not feel guilty even if he killed them.

But after hearing the conversation just now, Liu An realized that he was probably wrong and killed three people by mistake.

"Before you came to the spirit world, you never killed anyone, right?"

Seeing his struggling appearance, Meng Yuanxi immediately understood.

"How did you know?"

She did not explain, but walked slowly in front of Liu An, and met her beautiful eyes.

"I ask you, if your companion is in danger, will you kill him or not?"

"Of course I will kill him."

"Okay, what if there are ten people? Or kill hundreds and thousands of people to save the companions from the crisis?"

"I want to kill the same!"

Liu An replied without hesitation.

Hearing this, a touching smile appeared on the corner of Meng Yuanxi's mouth.

"Since that's the case, what kind of person is the enemy and what does it matter to us?"

"On the battlefield, the offensive will not stop because of who is a good person. If you hesitate, then you or the people around you will fall the next moment."

"Could it be that just because the enemy is a good person, do you have to stand still and kill him, or watch your companion die?"

Seeing the disappointment in Liu An's eyes gradually fade away, he continued to speak:

"We are not saints, and we can't take care of the many common people in the world."

"It's enough to protect the people around you."

Liu An slowly closed his eyes, his temperament seemed to be changing.

When he opened his eyes again, the previous haze was swept away in his eyes, and then there was a burst of clarity.

"call."

Breathing out the turbid air in his heart, after being enlightened by Meng Yuanxi, the messy thoughts disappeared.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, we are companions."

Meng Yuanxi stroked her long hair by her ears and smiled sweetly.

Liu An's mind was flustered, and he hurriedly turned his eyes away.

"Strange, this is... what does it feel like?"

Jin Yao was silent by the side, looking at the scene in front of her, muttering to herself.

"It seems... this feeling is not bad."

……

At this time, Hua Yunluo also adjusted his state.

He slowly pulled out the dagger stuck in Huang Yuan's body, and then wiped off the blood on it with his clothes.

Waves of heat poured out on Rujing's knife, and after wiping it repeatedly, he walked towards Liu An with his hands raised.

However, when he reached Liu An, he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Hey? What are you doing, get up quickly."

Liu An didn't look at the dagger, and hurriedly helped Hua Yunluo up first.

"Thank you very much for helping me, and I really want to ask you to help me rescue my sister again."

"But I also know that this is indeed very difficult and very dangerous."

"I don't want to put you in crisis because of my own self-interest, so let's just leave it alone."

Hua Yunluo stuffed the dagger back into Liu An's hand, turned around and carried Huang Yuan's body on his back, his leaving back looked desolate.

[Acceptable side mission detected: Hua Yunluo's request.

The mission panels of the three received reminders at the same time.

……

Squad chat interface:

Liu An: "Accept?"

Meng Yuanxi: "I think I can take it. Although I don't know what the reward is, the reward of this difficulty is not bad. Anyway, even if you fail this side mission, there is no penalty. It is not bad to try. It just happens to be the next step." I don't know what to do, Jin Yao, what do you think?

Jin Yao: "I'll do whatever I want, if you listen to me, then I'll take it."

Wei Yu: "Pick up what?"

Liu An: "I have nothing to do with you, hang up your phone and go."

Wei Yu: "???"

……

The three of them exchanged glances, trotted all the way to catch up with Hua Yunluo, and walked side by side with him.

"you……"

"Actually, you helped save me. Without you, my companions would not have been able to rescue me so easily, so it is only natural for us to help you rescue my sister now."

Jin Yao patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Thank you...thank you all...really thank you..."

Hua Yunluo's eyes were filled with mist again, and his trembling voice was incoherent.

"You're welcome, after all, we are companions now, aren't we?"

Liu An also comforted softly.

"Companions... Thank you, if you can really help me rescue my sister, then I, Hua Yunluo, will give you my life."

"Pfft, why do we want your life? Alright, Ann~~" Meng Yuanxi couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, Liu An, didn't you say you were going to pick up a friend?"

"Fuck, I forgot, I'll go right away, you guys go back first."

Liu An's footsteps were chaotic, and he hurriedly ran in another direction.

Seeing this scene, Hua Yunluo couldn't help showing a hint of envy on his face.

"But now, I also have companions."

After thinking of this, a sunny smile appeared on his face again.

"Sister, we will definitely rescue you, wait for me..."
