send me home with your dopamine

In the restaurant, Roland was playing with the knife at his fingertips, and asked as if nothing had happened: "And then?"

"Then when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was caught in a big room, and there were many people there." Xiaolan wanted to reach out to grab a croissant to eat, but the table knife in Roland's hand seemed to have come off and fell on the ground. Beside the croissant, Xiaolan was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand and said tremblingly, "I... I was terrified at the time!"

"Sister! Xiaolan is just a child, can you let her eat first?" Fang Xiaoling picked up the croissant and put it in front of Xiaolan, "Eat, don't be afraid."

"Didn't I stop her from eating? I just asked her some questions." Roland pulled the knife out of the table and continued to ask with a fierce face, "And then?"

Xiaolan stared at the croissant in front of her, didn't dare to eat it, but swallowed heavily, and said, "And then there are many people who say they want to kill me, and say I'm useless..."

"Then how are you alive?!" Roland stared, frightened Xiaolan's eyes filled with tears.

"Sister! Can you stop forcing her? Let her eat first?" Fang Xiaoling picked up the croissant with one hand, and held Xiaolan with the other, "Come on, let's go over there to eat."

Snapped!
The table knife pierced the croissant and lodged in the wall behind them.

"Hiss—" Li Mengling felt that this place was too dangerous, so she stood up and said, "Well... I'm full, you two can talk slowly."

After speaking, she quickly fled the restaurant.

"Sorry, I lost my hand." Roland raised his eyebrows and said, grabbing a dagger from the air in front of him, and playing with it in his hand.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Xiaolan sat on her seat and dared not leave, she said aggrievedly, "I live because there are still many people who disagree with killing me, saying that it will cause public anger, and then those people started arguing...

Then I was stuffed into the box, they said that little sister Dingling would open the box to welcome me, and let me give little sister a surprise, that's it..."

"The people you're talking about are from the tower, right? Would they be so kind? Send you here?"

Before Roland finished speaking, Li Mengling's scream suddenly came from outside the cabin.

"what!--"

Roland immediately ran out to check.

Fang Xiaoling stuffed the croissant into Xiaolan's hand and said, "Eat it quickly."

After speaking, she also ran out to see what happened.

On the deck at the stern, Li Mengling stood in front of the treasure chest, pale with shock.

"What's wrong?" Roland ran over and took a closer look. There were several sharp blades in the treasure chest.

It wasn't until Fang Xiaoling rushed over that Li Mengling came back to her senses, "I was just curious, so I pressed the blue button, and it turned out..."

Fang Xiaoling looked at the blade in the treasure chest. If someone was inside at this time, he would be cut into patties immediately.

"This is too cruel..." Her pupils trembled, "If I choose wrongly, will Xiaolan end like this?"

Roland frowned and pondered for a moment, then she bent down and pressed the red button, and a dozen steel nails popped out of the treasure chest, piercing through all sides of the chest.

"This... no matter which button is pressed, the people inside will die?" Li Mengling looked towards the restaurant, "My God, her life is really great."

"It seems that the tower wants to play tricks on us. If we press the button, we may think that we have made a wrong choice and killed the little girl in the treasure chest." Roland kicked the treasure chest into the sea , "I'm afraid that when that time comes, no one will be in the mood to try another button."

"You are so despicable!" Fang Xiaoling roared at the sky, "Why did you do this? She is just an innocent child! Answer me!"

There is no barrage in the sky anymore.

"Those people in the tower even use this to gamble?" Li Mengling was a little hard to accept for a while, "I know they don't take people from parallel worlds seriously, but now it seems that they completely treat us as animals..."

Roland didn't speak, but turned and left in silence.

Fang Xiaoling bit her lips, but she still couldn't calm down the anger in her heart. After a while, she said, "Mengling, follow the original plan."

"Sister Xiaoling, at this moment, do you still want to carry out that plan?"

[White lotus root] is all over Fang Xiaoling's body, she said calmly: "You go to the basement to set it up first, I'll be there in a while."

Li Mengling hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

When Fang Xiaoling returned to the restaurant, she saw Roland putting the cut steaks on the plate in front of Xiaolan, "Do you remember the first time you ate steak? Mom cut the steak into small pieces like this. block, and then feed me."

"Hmm! I remember." Xiaolan seemed to be so hungry that she could stuff several pieces in one bite. She said vaguely, "Big Roland, are mom and dad old now? Are they still as loving as before?"

Roland paused for a moment, then continued to cut the steak, and said with a smile, "Yes...they...are very affectionate."

Fang Xiaoling left quietly without disturbing them.

"Big Roland, when I grow up, will I be as powerful as you?"

"maybe……"

"Wow! Then I can protect Sister Tinker Bell!"

"Are you talking about Xiaoling? Why do you call her Little Dingling one moment and Little Dingdong the next?"

"Well—because if she has another name, I can have another good friend." Xiaolan said solemnly, "She promised me that she would be my good friend for life!"

"Are you so afraid of loneliness?" Roland stared into her eyes and said thoughtfully, "Actually, when you have nothing to rely on, it is just the perfect opportunity for a person to grow up. I was at that stage, unconsciously strengthened."

"But no matter how strong a person is, he will feel afraid when it is dark, right?"

"What's scary."

"What if a big villain comes?"

"When the big villain comes, use powerful force to beat him to the ground."

"No, no." Xiaolan shook her head, "You can't defeat the villain alone, you must have the help of your partners..."

In this way, two people, one big and one small, chatted for a long time.

It wasn't until midnight that Roland put Xiaolan back in the room and covered her with a quilt.

Looking at the night sky outside the window, she suddenly thought of Fang Xiaoling and Li Mengling, as if they hadn't appeared since lunch.

Just as she was going to see what was going on, Xiaolan called her to stop.

"Big Roland, can you tell me a bedtime story?" Xiaolan opened her eyes wide, "Can you leave after I fall asleep?"

"You little guy, don't think that I am your mother when I chat with you, go to bed quickly."

"But you've been with me all afternoon and half night?" Xiaolan grabbed Roland's finger and shook it coquettishly, "It's not the last 10 minutes."
