I made myself the protagonist

Mom, I saw an angel!

The moment Su Li finished speaking, Ling Yun could no longer hold his nerve.

It was like a wronged child who was suddenly understood by someone. After hearing the other person's comfort, two lines of hot tears unconsciously flowed down the corners of his eyes and "swish" flowed out.

…

Taking the fifth tissue from Su Li, Ling Yun blew his nose hard, his shoulders still twitching:

"So before you said that I looked like a guilty thief, that's the reason. Really, it's too difficult for me. You don't know, I live in fear every day, for fear that if you discover this little secret, the space will snap me. Except for Brother Shen, I have never dared to say this to anyone... Do you still have paper?"

"This is the last one."

Su Li and Ling Yun sat side by side on the steps, their right hands still patting each other's back to comfort them: "You mean, Shen Tinglan also knows about this?"

"Um."

Ling Yun sniffed: "How could I hide his delicate thoughts? Like you, he had noticed something was wrong with me a long time ago, but he never pointed it out. He said he could see that I had difficulties. If I don't want to talk, I won't force it; if I'm willing to speak, he will definitely share the burden with me."

Although he could not truthfully confess his secret to the male and female protagonists, after talking about it in this way, Ling Yun's biggest worry was finally eliminated.

"I hope you can keep this secret for me and don't let others know." Ling Yun choked with sobs: "This is really disturbing to others. And I just want to keep a low profile so as not to cause other unnecessary trouble."

"Okay. I have always wanted to know what is hidden behind that blue screen." Su Li's thoughts were exactly the same as Shen Tinglan's.

Rather than leaving the space, the two wanted to know the true identity of Ark. What was its purpose of resurrecting players and allowing them to participate in these games?

Immediately afterwards, Su Li's words made Ling Yun feel even more horrified: "Ever since I learned about Ark's existence, I have been thinking: Maybe the normal life I have never doubted in the past twenty years is all fake. .The [ordinary world] that everyone thinks is just a dream spun by Ark. From beginning to end, no one can escape the gaze of the rulers from higher dimensions."

Is this a wise man? It's so terrifying.

Ling Yun looked at Su Li's side face blankly, not expecting that she could think to this point. The originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.

Seeing Ling Yun's stunned expression, Su Li thought that the other party had not digested what he said, so he changed the topic: "I can understand your concerns. As a string of program codes, it is not a good thing to awaken self-awareness. The above is just me. Personal speculation. Even if I finally know the truth, it will only shake the tree like a worm, and it will not be of any benefit to myself."

She said to herself: "You saved my life, I will always remember this in my heart. Now that everyone has the same goal, I will do my best to help the team pass the level and win. As for the future... go Let’s take it one step at a time.”

"Hmm, as long as I can stay away from space for the rest of my life, return to reality, and experience birth, old age, illness and death as an ordinary person, we actually don't have to pursue too much." Ling Yun said while carefully looking at Su Li.

The latter nodded lightly and sat on the steps holding his knees, as if thinking about something.

The yard became quiet again.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta..."

At this moment, a strange sound penetrated Ling Yun's ears without any warning.

It was like raining, the sound of water dripping.

Ling Yun raised his head and looked around in confusion. His movement also attracted Su Li's attention: "What's wrong?"

"Did you...hear any strange sounds?" Ling Yun stood up. Although the fog was thick, he could still barely see the scene around the yard.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta..."

Strange noises were heard again, mixed with a woman's chuckle. The laughter was weird and peculiar. This time, Ling Yun was sure that he heard it correctly.

The source of that sound was from a certain direction near the doorway and the courtyard wall!

"Shh, listen. Over there..."

Ling Yun pointed at the courtyard wall and frowned. In addition to laughter, at this moment he could clearly hear a rustling sound, like the sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the ground.

"I didn't hear any sound." However, what surprised him was that Su Li didn't notice anything strange.

"Something's not right. It's better to go back and inform others first."

Even so, Su Li knew very well that Ling Yun would not lie without reason. The reason why such a strange thing happened now was definitely because the A-level curse spirit had appeared.

Ling Yun instinctively took two steps back, wanting to return to the house with Su Li. However, at this moment, the thick fog seemed to dissipate a little, and even the scene of the blurry wall that he had seen before gradually became clearer.

A pale female face with long hair suddenly appeared at the door.

The woman's black seaweed-like hair was spread around her shoulders, and her whole body was wet, as if she had just been caught in a heavy rain.

Right now, this weird woman was leaning against the door, acting like a voyeur, with half of her body hidden by the wall. The previous laughter came from her mouth.

"This...can't be..."

Ling Yun's heart almost jumped into his throat.

The woman was dressed in an old red wedding dress and had her hair tied up in a high bun, looking like a bride.

However, there were only two dark blood holes left on her face where the eyes were originally, and her eyes seemed to have been cruelly gouged out by something. The woman had high cheekbones, but she was wearing bright lipstick, and the corners of her mouth were raised inexplicably. Blood flowed along the

The bloody eye sockets flowed to his cheeks, mixed with the water drops on his hair, dripping down continuously.

The moment he saw the woman, Ling Yun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a layer of white sweat appeared on his back.

It was difficult for him to find words to describe the feeling at this moment. A wave of malice that penetrated his bones swept through his body. Ling Yun folded his arms and his body couldn't help but tremble.

The bride in red smiled strangely at him, then covered her mouth and stood on tiptoes, flashing past the courtyard quickly, turning into a red afterimage and disappearing into the mist.

Although Su Li was standing nearby, the moment he looked into the woman's eyes, he felt a cold breath coming towards his face, lingering around him.

What's even weirder is that Su Li didn't react at all from the time the woman dressed as a bride appeared to the time she disappeared. If the spell outside the yard hadn't spontaneously ignited, she wouldn't have believed that a ghost had really invaded just now.

After the two returned to the house, Ling Yun described what he had just seen to his other companions. Hearing what Ling Yun said, everyone couldn't help but sweat for him.

"If this is really the case, the trouble will be huge." Shen Tinglan looked at the talisman that had turned into ashes outside the yard, and frowned: "The curse spirit just now is not at the same level as the ghoul during the day."

Hearing what he said, Ren Yao couldn't help but look up at Ling Yun.

Compared with monsters, the most troublesome thing for everyone is this kind of incorporeal idealistic ghosts or curse-like powers. If the person being targeted is Zhao Sicheng, there may be ways to deal with it, but this time the unlucky person is not him.

"Could this ghost bride have fallen in love with our handsome Comrade Ling Yun and want him to be the groom's official?" Zhao Sicheng said.

Tang Yao rubbed her hands anxiously and said quickly: "Brother Zhao, what time has it been? How can you still think about joking!"

"The ghost bride must have some connection with the village." Ling Yun comforted Tang Yao: "Don't panic, maybe we can find the secret about the disappearance of the villagers from it."
