Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 537 The Eve of the Finale
Fifteen minutes later.

"I...I am the protagonist of this story?!"

A loud shout of disbelief suddenly came from the door of the camp store, and Belkronny looked at Xin Lailai, who was lying on Ling Yuzi's thighs and enjoying the girl's massage, and said in surprise.

"What else? Do you think that the Death Holder and I came after you as soon as we entered this world because we were bored?"

"Besides, Bell, you should have realized this yourself, right? You are the fastest-promoting adventurer in the history of Orario. You went from LV.1 to LV.2 in one month, LV.3 in two months, LV.4 in four months, and LV.5 in half a year. Your upgrade frequency is faster than those of us who are in the park. In this case, if you write a story about everything that happened in Orario in the past year, who do you think is most likely to be the protagonist?"

Xin Lailai looked at Bell who was shocked in front of him, sighed, and said helplessly.

"So... so, Brother Black Sword, what you said before about Miss Ai Si and the others really... really happened..."

Bell was stunned when he heard Xin Lailai's answer. Then he remembered that the names Xin Lailai had said before were all female names he was familiar with. His throat moved slightly twice and he asked hesitantly.

"Of course! You see I look like...hiss~! Ok...ok, ahem, well, actually I was exaggerating. Actually, you were still a virgin until the end."

When Xin Lailai heard Bell's question, he habitually showed a playful smile on his face. When he subconsciously wanted to continue to "guide" the other party, the two small hands that were pinching his shoulders suddenly increased their strength, directly passed through his flesh, and twisted his soul fiercely, causing the muscles on Xin Lailai's face to twitch. After taking a breath, he immediately changed his words:

"Ahem, anyway, those were just jokes, Bell, you don't have to take them seriously, understand?"

"..."

Bell looked at Xin Lailai in front of him, then looked at Ling Yuzi behind him, his neck shrank slightly, and he nodded honestly, while asking carefully:
"Um... so... Brother Black Sword, what exactly is this..."

As Bell spoke, he quietly pointed his index finger at Ling Yuzi who was rubbing Xin Lailai's shoulders, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce her to you. She is my wife. She comes from a derivative world just like you. As for her name, well..."

Xin Lailai said this, pondering, and looked up at Ling Yuzi. Seeing this, Ling Yuzi's eyes moved, and he nodded imperceptibly, then looked up at Bell and said in a somewhat cold voice:

"Bai Yu."

Although they are now very familiar with Bell, it is obviously not to the point where they can directly reveal his real name, and the set designer is not suitable to appear with Black Sword, so the best way is to let Ling Yuzi come up with a new false code name temporarily.

"It turns out to be Miss Bai...Bai Yu. Nice to meet you...Hello."

Bell spoke hesitantly and greeted Ling Yuzi cautiously, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"..."

Xin Lailai looked at this scene, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he communicated with Ling Yuzi in his mind somewhat helplessly:

"I say... Ling Yuzi, there's no need for us to keep using our power to scare him, right?"

"But he let you, Lailai, completely immerse yourself in his thoughts and almost lost control again."

A somewhat cold voice sounded in Xin Lailai's mind, and Ling Yuzi pursed his lips gently, caressing Xin Lailai's face, with a trace of heartache in his ruby-like eyes.

She had been sensing Xin Lailai's mental state and knew very well that struggling all the way out of the abyss erosion zone had already pushed Xin Lailai's mental state to the brink of limit. As a result, because of the influence of Bell's words, the other party's complete substitution that had not taken effect for a long time broke out again. Although this time it lasted for a very short time and did not bring any bad consequences, she always felt like something was blocking her heart and she could not be happy.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, right? Besides, even if I hadn't been completely influenced by the substitution, we still owed Bell a life. It's only right that I should repay this favor. Otherwise, it would be bad if Xiaobai and the others had an ungrateful bastard father."

Xin Lailai smiled when she heard Ling Yuzi's answer, reached out and stroked the other's soft hair, and comforted him:

"Okay, Ling Yuzi, you can go back and rest first. I'll take care of Bell."
'Um. ’

Ling Yuzi felt the warmth coming from above his head, and his cold eyes gradually softened. He nodded gently, then lowered his head and kissed Xin Lailai's forehead. When he was about to return to the soul space, he suddenly remembered something, gritted his teeth, and threatened viciously in his mind:
'Also, if you dare to discuss that kind of thing again, you will have to accompany me for the whole day after you go back! Really, Lailai, you don't take girls' feelings seriously at all. You actually gave such suggestions!'

"Ahem, I'm not doing this to allow Bell to reunite with the person he loves as soon as possible..." "Huh?"

"Okay, I admit that I have been a bit perverted since I was a kid. Uh, wait... Ling Yuzi, are you angry because I didn't do those things to you? ! "

Xin Lailai sensed the anger coming from Ling Yuzi and admitted her mistake somewhat angrily. However, halfway through her words, her eyes widened and she froze there.

Ling Yuzi looked at Xin Lailai, who finally understood his "preferences", and finally showed a gratified look, with a sly smile on his lips. He disappeared into the soul space with a whoosh, leaving Xin Lailai, whose cognition had been refreshed, alone and messy there.

——Everything about Lai Lai must be experienced by her first, even the oral play!!

"..."

"Brother Black Sword, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just let me calm down."

Xin Lailai held his forehead and raised his hand to signal Bell not to worry about him. He felt a wave of joy that did not belong to him coming from his mind. His expression twitched slightly, and finally he looked at Bell Crane in front of him and said for no reason:
"Bell, how do you think I feel now?"

"Ah? This... I personally feel that Brother Black Sword gives me a very... very reliable, very powerful, and can make people feel at ease unconsciously."

Bell was stunned at first when faced with Xin Lailai's sudden question, and then he answered hesitantly.

"In other words, I should give people a normal impression, right?"

"Uh... yeah." "OK, that's no problem!"

After receiving a less than certain answer, Xin Lailai looked down at himself and nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, even an honest man like Bell answered like this. It seems that his mental state is still within the normal range, and he has not become a pervert like Shan Xi.

"Um, Brother Hei...Brother Heijian, can I ask you something else?"

Just when Xin Lailai was immersed in the feeling of relief that he had not fallen into the moral trough in his mind, Bell's voice suddenly came from the side, which made Xin Lailai come back to his senses. He looked at the somewhat restrained white-haired boy and said with a smile:

"I've already told you there's no need to be so reserved. Come on, is there anything else you want to ask me?"

"It's like this, that... Brother Black Sword, you said before that I am the main... the protagonist of that story? So, I... I want to ask, Brother Black Sword, what exactly is your story... like?"

After receiving an affirmative response from Xin Lailai, Bell first breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes moved back and forth between Xin Lailai's face and the ground under his feet, and finally he lowered his head embarrassedly and said in a low voice.

What is the story of the wrong world like?
Hearing Bell's question, Xin Lailai paused for a moment, then laughed and said:

"I thought you were going to ask about something troublesome, but it turns out to be just a small matter. Come on, sit down first. Since we're telling a story, you can't just stand here all the time."

Xin Lailai said this and sat down cross-legged. Seeing this, Bell nodded quickly and followed Xin Lailai's example and sat down on the floor.

"Let me think, where should I start? Well... let's start with the original story of this world. First of all, the world you are in is officially called 'Dicuo World', but this is just an abbreviation. Its full name should actually be..."

In the dark maze, the voice of the black-haired young man echoed slowly, while the white-haired boy listened to the story told by the other party very seriously.

Time passed silently as the two of them sat around the Abyss Suppression Device that emitted a soft light. Under the gaze of the Dark Steel Mech, they talked about the joyful scene of rookies and novice adventurers at the beginning of the story, and then talked about the great deeds achieved by the boy in the story, the companions they met one after another, and talked to each other about every detail worth discussing.

Finally, when the first digit of the countdown at the edge of the black-haired young man's sight decreased by 2 units unknowingly, the chat gradually came to a halt.

"This is... my story..."

Under the maze, Bell, who had been lying down at some point, raised his hands and clenched them slightly. The scene in front of him was reflected in his red eyes, and he murmured.

"Yes, this is your story. To be honest, when I first saw this story, I thought it was a toilet paper-level novel that could be found everywhere. After all, a long list of names like 'Is it wrong to seek encounters in a dungeon?' is too much in line with the positioning of a third-rate work no matter how you look at it, right?"

"I didn't expect that I would be so absorbed in it as I watched it, especially when I saw you, Bell, defeat the Minotaur for the first time. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep most of the night. I slept through the entire morning class the next day, and it happened to be the time for the inspection. I was almost called in for a talk."

"Why do I feel guilty when I hear what you said, Brother Black Sword..."

"Haha, this is also a very wonderful experience, isn't it? Just like me at that time, I never thought that one day I would actually be able to lie down and chat with the 'Bell Crane' in the story I read at that time. Life and destiny are so wonderful."

"Wonderful... huh? Honestly, until now, I still feel like this is all a dream, as if I will wake up from this dream in the next second, and all of you, Brother Black Sword, will disappear, and everything will suddenly return to the way I am familiar with, as if nothing had happened."

"It's a pity. Although I sometimes have such thoughts, the reality is that everything that is happening now is a fact for us. No matter what you choose to do, it is still there."

"I know, but... I just have some feelings. By the way, Brother Black Sword, is the enemy you mentioned called Extreme Blade Abyss Shadow... really that scary?"

"Ah, yes, just like I told you, if we encounter that guy, the only thing we have to do is to find a way to escape from it."

"Run for your life...Brother Black Sword, is there no way to defeat it?"

Lying on the floor, Bell tilted his head to look at Xin Lailai, who was resting his head with one hand and staring at the dome of the maze. His red eyes reflected the movements made subconsciously by the other person's other hand. His eyes moved slightly and he asked Xin Lailai a question.

"Victory? Although I am a little unwilling, it is still too difficult for just a few of us to do this. Moreover, for us now, the most important thing is to find a way to survive. When you fell to the depths for the first time, Bell, you also wanted to survive with Ryu instead of killing that Zagnut, right?"

When Xin Lailai heard Bell's question, he stopped what he was doing, smiled, and shook his head:

"Okay, let's take a rest while we still have a few hours."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Bell nodded slightly and said nothing more. He turned around and, imitating Xin Lailai, stared at the dark maze in front of him for a while, then closed his eyes, quickly emptied his mind, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

This guy fell asleep too quickly...

Xin Lailai glanced at Bell, who was snoring beside him, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but he didn't say much.

For experienced adventurers in the world of Dicuo, falling asleep quickly is a necessary basic skill. After all, there is basically no real free time in a place like a dungeon. Many times, if you don’t learn to recover your energy from that five or ten minutes of free time, you will not be able to hold on.

"Victory...?"

The boy's words flashed through his mind. He turned his head and looked at the thick darkness outside the effective range of the abyss suppression device that seemed to be able to swallow up everything. His left hand subconsciously pressed on his right arm. The image of Ji Ren Yuan Ying flashed through his mind. His eyes drooped slightly, hiding the color in his pupils. Finally, he shook his head gently, closed his eyes, and quickly entered a state of deep meditation.

Tonight is destined to be full of dreams.
