I made myself the protagonist

Avoiding Liu Chengyou and Han Xianzhen who were guarding the yard, Erika followed Ling Yun to the outside of the yard. She smoothed her hair on her temples, a smile appeared in her cold eyes, and she once again switched to her previous look of indifference. A hurt expression.

Feeling the sound of footsteps behind him, Ling Yun glanced at the other party but said nothing.

In the evening, cicadas chirped continuously on the trees, and there was a sultry humidity in the air.

Not far away, billowing dark clouds surged to the top of Qingyuan Mountain, almost covering half of the sky. Dark clouds gathered on the top of the sky, and streaks of lightning were swimming in the clouds like purple snakes, indicating that what was about to happen next Coming natural disaster.

In the darkness, Erika stood next to each other, and there was no communication between the two. Everyone knew that the second reincarnation of death would soon begin.

Erika's eyes almost never left Ling Yun. It seemed that as long as she looked at him like this, the annoyance in her heart could be relieved.

What Ling Yun didn't know was that Erika's excessive closeness to him was not actually a disguise.

Although the man in front of him was good at calculations, his character was much more pure than Shen Tinglan's. Even if he showed weakness at the beginning, even risked his life and let himself be slaughtered by them, he could not gain Shen Tinglan's trust.

But Ling Yun is different. He is a kind-hearted and soft-hearted man. When faced with weak things, he will always develop a stupid desire to protect. In this regard, he is exactly the same as Shota Nakamori.

Unlike those guys who were deceived and played by her, Shota Nakamori was the only person around Erika who was willing to treat her sincerely.

He is two years younger than me and is still a college student. Although he is not very old, Shota has the sobriety and maturity that a boy of this age should have. He is also passionate, occasionally falls in love with fantasy.

Even though he was young, he rarely said honorifics to himself, and even always regarded himself as an elder brother.

From the moment he entered the space and met the other person for the first time, he has always been by his side, saying stupid things to protect himself.

Of course, Erika will never give her sincerity to anyone; in her opinion, the other person's actions are nothing more than trying to please her. After the first mission was over and she was given the Gift, Erika realized her own powers. It's really too special.

Once exposed and discovered by other players, she might not have any chance of survival.

But fortunately, this ability is deceptive. The smart Erika hides her true skills and makes all players mistakenly think that she is just a healing player.

Therefore, in order to maintain her own personality, she could only acquiesce in Shota Nakamori's series of stupid behaviors and work hard to cooperate with him.

But as time went by, Erika discovered that Shota Nakamori was not just talking. Unlike others, when danger came, he always stood in front of her immediately, and almost lost his life several times.

Slowly, Erika got used to having a "follower" around her. Unlike other puppets she controlled, she actually never used her powers on Shota Nakamori.

When she was being chased by District 5, she used other teammates as scapegoats to gain room for her to escape, but she did not take action against Shota.

However, the enemy's pursuit did not disappear. Soon, Erika realized that Shota's body had been marked by the fifth area.

This guy is indeed too weak. Should we abandon him?

Or...just when Erika hesitated, Shota took the initiative to separate.

After all, in the eyes of the other party, I am just a weak healing player. How can I fight against the powerful Fifth District?

In fact, Erika knows that Shota Nakamori has always admired her. But to her, in space, a place full of calculations and calculations, love is so worthless in the face of survival.

Forget it, he is just a puppet in his hands anyway, so there is no need to risk exposing his abilities.

Since you love me, then die for me. As long as I can return to the base alive, I can find more chess pieces like him.

With this idea in mind, Erika and Shota separated. After that, she met the team from the third district.

This is a good thing for Erika. She has found a new group of puppets. However, it is really difficult to deceive each other's trust. Faced with her own healing power, the people in this team actually showed

of indifference.

Then, she discovered that there was a female player in the third area who actually had healing powers.

Get rid of Tang Yao and replace her. This was Erika's original plan.

Therefore, she secretly used her superpower on Tang Yao, waiting for the right time to make her disappear completely. By then, without her healing teammates, these people would inevitably come to seek cooperation with her.

But who would have expected that at this time, there would be a naive guy who insisted on staying with him regardless of the objections of his teammates. He talked about using each other, but in fact, when he faced danger, the other party would still help him.

Ling Yun, Erika saw many similarities with Shota in him. However, Shota was still better to herself.

At first, Erika just felt that it was a pity that Shota died too early and could not survive until noon the next day. Otherwise, he would have been resurrected, and he would have had many helpers around him.

However, the longer I stayed with Ling Yun and others, the regretful thoughts became stronger for some reason.

The scenes when she and Shota get along, the words he said to her, the look on his face when they parted... Memories kept coming to mind, making Erika start to feel upset.

Erika likes to stick to Ling Yun. On the one hand, because he is the only person in the team who has shown kindness to her, and because Ling Yun has a good mind and strength, by following him, her own safety can be maximized; and on the other hand, Ling Yun has a good mind and strength.

On the one hand, it's because he has the shadow of Shota in him.

Erika had long been accustomed to having someone following her around, and now that person was gone, she had to find a replacement.

But although Ling Yun is good, he is not Shota after all.

Erika originally thought that her feelings for Shota were just an ordinary chess piece, a piece of brown candy that couldn't be shaken off. His death was just like other people's. It was of no importance to her. Once he was gone, it would be gone.

Already.

But today, when he saw Jiang Taiyu take out Shota's relics for the first time and insult him with words, his brain went blank for a moment, and when he reacted, his body rushed forward.

Erika has always had a very low-key style of dealing with things. She is tolerant and good at disguising, and will never show her true side in front of anyone.

Not only Ling Yun was surprised, but even Erika herself didn't understand why she, who always cherished her life more than anyone else, risked death during the day to snatch Shota's relics.

Why is it that when I think of Shota now, those regrets are magnified so much that even my heart aches?
