Miss Player, please don't cast spells on me.

But the other members of the tea party were a different story. It's no exaggeration to say that they were almost driven to the brink of separation, mother-son conflict, and sibling rivalry by the 'Xia Nuoer Village' drama staged by Kiyono Hai.

So when they learned that Uncle Haolan had captured one of the writers of "Labyrinth Sanctuary 2", they all offered Kiyono Hai extremely enthusiastic "greetings".

Kiyono Ash picked out a few voice greetings and found that they were all genuine trilled 'r' sounds, and always ended with 'Yarro!'

Those who didn't know might think that Kiyono Hai had joined some kind of yakuza group.

Although the group was very enthusiastic in greeting Qingye Hui, Qingye Hui still demonstrated excellent business acumen, directly editing a long announcement to clearly explain his purpose.

"Hello to all closed beta testers of *Dungeon Sanctuary 2*. I am Qingye, the screenwriter for the storyline related to Shanor Village, and also the actress who plays the character Shanor."

"We are aware that the storyline related to 'Shanor Village' has had a certain impact on the mental and emotional well-being of players. Therefore, the official team specifically assigned me to visit and offer condolences to those players who have experienced emotional distress."

"If any of you require a personal visit, please fill out this form and send it to me privately. I will arrange a time with you and visit you as soon as possible."

After Qingye Hui sent out this message, the discussion in the tea party group exploded again.

"Kiyono-kun, you're Xia Nuoer's face model, right? Won't this kind of condolence cause secondary harm?" Someone asked first, expressing their concern.

However, many other tea party members responded very directly with comments like, "Stay away from my sister!", "I really don't dare let you meet my daughter!", "Stay away from my girlfriend!", and "Stay away from my mom!"

Kiyono Gray didn't have to put in much effort to persuade them, because soon a private message hit him.

This private message came from that Miss Owlface.

"Ward 402, Building 3, Narita Hospital, Tokyo. Can you come over now?" The message from Xiaomian was brief and direct.

"Understood, I'll be there in twenty minutes at most!"

After putting down his phone, Kiyono Gray rode on the electric scooter sponsored by Sakai Iori and rushed to Narita Hospital in Tokyo, intending to arrest the first player and imprison her in the dungeon.

Chapter 45 The Method to Cure Miss Player

Xiao Mian never imagined that such a simple game could cause such terrible psychological harm to her sister.

Now her sister Xuedao is lying in a hospital bed and needs someone to watch over her at all times, otherwise Xuedao may have suicidal thoughts at any time.

Although Xuedao's mental state has stabilized somewhat, she still can't stop crying, and her eyes are red and swollen from crying.

During this period, the hospital had already found three psychologists to treat Xuedao, but the treatment by these three psychologists not only failed to work, but also aggravated Xuedao, causing her to have several more mental breakdowns.

What am I doing?! The more she thought about this, the more her heart clenched.

Her younger sister has been disabled since childhood. Although she has always tried to appear strong in front of others, it has never really been a genuine act.

Xiao Mian knew very well that a person's emotional breakdown was often the result of years of accumulated negative emotions and stress, which then started from a small thing... like a refrigerator door that wouldn't close, accidentally knocking over a bowl full of food, or even accidentally splashing water all over yourself while washing your hands.

Xiao Mian understood that her younger sister had accumulated a lot of negative emotions over the past few years because of her frail body, which prevented her from standing up.

So, besides helping her younger sister Snow Island relax and de-stress in the game world, Owlface, as the older sister, also has to be constantly on guard against her sister encountering these 'small things' that could instantly break her down.

Even during Snow Island's live stream, Owlface, as the channel administrator, kept a close eye on the live stream chat. If any fool dared to act recklessly, she would immediately take a "kill, kill, kill" approach.

But Xiao Mian didn't expect that while she had managed to prevent the 'minor issues,' she couldn't stop the sudden attack from "Maze Sanctuary 2."

The intense guilt plunged Yukishima into a severe depression and suicidal ideation, a depression that couldn't be alleviated simply by her cheerful personality…

Because whenever Yukishima tries to cheer herself up, she recalls the events of Shanor Village and falls back into a cycle of deep pain.

This painful cycle can only be eased by time, but unfortunately, Xuedao's frail body... probably won't allow her to endure it for that long.

So now, she's willing to pay any price, no matter who it is, as long as her sister can get back to normal!

Unfortunately, both Xuedao and Xiaomian's parents were in the foreign trade business and traveled frequently, so they were not even in Japan.

Feeling like he'd reached a dead end, Owlface could only rely on the person from among the Fighters who had suddenly appeared at the Fighters' Tea Party.

But after Xiaomian actually called over the person behind Xia Nuoer, she became worried again... What if the difference between online and offline is too big?

After all, the appearances in games are always beautified!

Just as Xiaomian was struggling with this, a voice made her suddenly raise her head.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Yui Yukishima? You look... younger than in the photos sent to my phone?"

Qingye Hui was already standing in front of this punk-rebellious woman.

Her attire was completely out of place in the hospital, and the patients around her would avoid her.

"Xianor?"

The moment Owl Face saw Kiyono's gray face, he called out that name. It was so similar... so very similar.

It's not just that... In reality, Qingye Hui's temperament is nothing like that of most players who date Xia Nuoer.

But for someone like Owlface, who had fought with Xia Nuoer several times, Qingye Hui's temperament was exactly the same as Xia Nuoer's.

It's exactly the same feeling as when someone greets you with a smile, yet carries a sense of aloofness and coldness, and their words have a subtle, sharp edge.

"I'm relieved that Ms. Yui Yui mistook me for her. Now, could you please let me see your sister?"

Kiyono Gray took out his business card and handed it to Owl Face.

"..."

Xiao Mian didn't take the business card from Qingye Hui's hand. Instead, he turned around and looked at his sister, who was still crying while hugging her pillow in the ward.

"She's in this room, you can go in directly."

Kiyono Hai didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight into Yukishima's ward. After knocking lightly on the door, he coughed lightly to draw the attention of the still sobbing Yukishima to him.

Xuedao hadn't been in the mood to care who else had come to the ward, but after glancing at the person through her teary eyes, she immediately perked up and sat up in bed.

"Xianor!?"

The two sisters reacted very similarly, but Xuedao quickly recognized that the figure standing in front of her bed was not Shanor.

"No... who are you?"

The doubts she had about Kiyono Hai's identity overshadowed her depression, which was a good sign.

"My name is Kiyono Hai, and I'm one of the writers and actors in 'Labyrinth Sanctuary 2,' and then..."

Kiyono first gave a brief introduction of himself.

But after Kiyono Hai walked to Yukishima's bedside under her gaze, he placed one hand on his chest and gently extended the other towards her, then smiled and said to Yukishima.

“If you want, I can… be your Shanor, Sister Snow Island.”

Upon hearing those words, Xuedao gently covered her mouth with her hand, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

These were tears of emotion.

The gesture that Kiyono Gray makes is one that Xue Dao often makes Xia Nuo Er do when she takes Xia Nuo Er to a ball in "The Principality of Roses".

The smile that Kiyono Gray showed just now perfectly captured Xia Nuoer's shy and timid feeling.

“Xianor…”

Of course, Xuedao couldn't resist Kiyono Hai's outstretched hand, so she subconsciously raised her own small hand, which Kiyono Hai then grasped.

In real life, Xuedao looks like a very petite girl. Even though she should be almost nineteen or twenty years old, she still looks like a middle school student.

"You... what brings you to see me offline this time?"

In the game, Snow Island is a complete female hooligan, and most female players behave extremely unrestrainedly in the game.

Examples include forcibly changing Xia Nuoer's clothes by stripping them off, or teasing her by touching and pinching her in various ways.

But once they got offline, they were all incredibly innocent-looking, except for Iori Sakai…

Since it was the first time in her life that a boy had held her hand, her reaction was naturally shy.

"I'm here to encourage you, Xuedao-jie, to keep going."

As he spoke, Qingye Hui placed the laptop and game controller he had prepared on the small table in front of Xuedao's hospital bed.

"Encourage me?"

While Xuedao was still wondering, she heard a familiar voice—the voice from the title screen of "Dungeon Sanctuary 2"!

Her condition was really serious. Just hearing the sound of the game's title screen made her so terrified that her stomach would spasm, and she wanted to run away or shut down her laptop.

But at that moment, Kiyono Hai squeezed Yukishima's little hand slightly, giving her courage in this way.

"Sister Yukishima, I'm here for you. Please let your character in the game continue. There are others waiting for you in the deeper levels of the game," Kiyono Gray said.

Is someone waiting for me deep within the game's levels? Is it... the Shanors?

A heavy sense of guilt and pressure overwhelmed Xuedao once again, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

Fortunately, the courage that Kiyono Hai gave her played a little role at this time. She also understood that she couldn't run away forever, and she had to face everything eventually!

Yes, she must be judged, judged by the Chanorians.

Whether he was ultimately disappointed by the Shanors and considered a murderer, or feared as a monster, it didn't matter.

In Xuedao's view, she should pay the price for the sins she has committed, whether it is being sentenced to death by the Shanors or any other price, she is willing to accept it.

Only in this way will she feel a little better!

"Keep going, someone is waiting for you deep inside the village of Shanor," Kiyono Gray whispered to Yukishima.

Xuedao nodded slightly, stiffly using one hand to control the controller, guiding her game character deeper into the scene.

Soon, the somewhat abandoned village of Shanor came into view of the snow island... but she had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Shanor.

Instead, her gaze swept over the surrounding road, but her mind was elsewhere...

This must be the place where I am judged, my guillotine, my grave.

It doesn't matter whose Shanor it is, or what method it takes! Please let me pay the price for the sins I have committed.

As she walked into the depths of Shanor, with these almost suicidal thoughts, she finally saw a Shanor standing at the end of the road waiting for her.

Is this... the one who's here to judge me, Shanor? Snow Island blankly controlled her character and walked over.

But when she walked over, she realized... something was off about this Shanor.

The odd thing is that this Shanor seems to have just arrived here, judging from his travel attire, the reins he's holding, and the huge camel behind him.

All of this indicates that this Shanor had only recently arrived in this village!

"He...is?" Yukishima asked Kiyono Hai beside him with some uncertainty.

"He is Shanor, who just visited here."
