The sickly little one was adopted by a wealthy foreigner and became a favorite.

"You haven't forgotten me either."

With a smile, Wu Tu took Ross's hand, just like before.

Ross said helplessly, "If I've changed and am not the same as before, aren't you afraid I'll hurt you?"

After all, they are now in different positions, and so many years have passed since they last met.

But the little guy had no wariness at all. Even though he had been hurt before by trusting others, he would still trust his friends and family without hesitation...

Wu Tu said, "But Ross also treated me with sincerity..."

Ross smiled. He was a bit older than Wu Tu and was already an adult. He was no longer as simple and honest as he used to be.

But when Ross saw the black tusk, he felt his past memories and youth come alive again.

Ross and Ulusha chatted secretly in the garden for a long time.

It wasn't until evening that he told the little guy to hurry home, then turned around and went back to his safe house.

Someone was already waiting for him at the door.

They witnessed Ross chatting with the black rabbit.

The two players said to Ross, "Do you know that NPC? Should we try to kill him?"

Ross remained silent.

These people also regarded Rose as a top player who consistently ranked at the top and whose identity was hidden, someone they could rely on at will.

But who knew that the moment they proposed to harm Wutu, Ross already considered those two people as hopeless.

As they died, clutching their bleeding throats, their eyes widened in despair as they asked Ross:

"Aren't you... a human player?"

Ross said, "I'm just a widow."

That's not what Ross meant by "widow".

Instead, he felt that he was sick, his parents had died, and his only friend was a monster.

When Ross was nearing death, he thought he would finally reach the other side of the world, where he had family and friends...

But to everyone's surprise, he didn't die.

Now he can only rely on his only thought, his only friend, and live alone in this world.

So in his eyes, he was also considered a widow.

He also hoped that Wutu would accept him and take him to Wutu's world after his death.

But Ross also knew that he couldn't boldly express his true feelings; he was just a friend of Ulva, far less important than family.

But who knew that the little guy would spread the word that very night, telling everyone in the family that his best friend had come back.

So later, when Ross finished his watch in the middle of the night and was about to go to sleep and rest, he felt as if there were several pairs of eyes staring straight at him from outside.

Ross became alert and went over to check, but found no trace of anyone.

He thought it was just his imagination.

But when he lay back down, the same gaze as before appeared again.

Ross spent several days in this instance and was monitored for those same days.

In the past few days, no matter what Ross was doing—whether eating, sleeping, gathering clues, or chatting with Wu Tu—there was always that very obvious gaze around him.

But no matter how hard Ross searched, he couldn't find the owner of that gaze.

Rose's dark circles are almost showing.

In the same instance, Wu Yaochen, who was working for his sister, was quite smug about Ross's haggard appearance.

Ross had no idea what was going on when he was inexplicably targeted by Wu Yaochen.

When they first entered the instance, Wu Yaochen maintained a businesslike attitude towards everyone.

But suddenly, Wu Yaochen changed his attitude, becoming particularly hostile towards Ross.

Moreover, his expression was even more terrifying than murderous intent, as if he was just waiting to see Ross break down completely and then have his persona crumble in front of Ultus...

It's because the uncle cares about his nephew.

Wu Yaochen has been taking care of the kids for so long, and his child is not someone that can be easily fooled by just any young punk!

Ross: ...

Ross seemed to know something, but he didn't quite understand it.

From then on, Ross was relentlessly targeted no matter which instance he entered.

Even in dungeons where Wu Tu's family wasn't present, the bosses were still bribed (threatened) by Wu Tu's older siblings, which meant that Ross was always the first to face the boss's malice, no matter where he was.

Moreover, they only tortured Ross, without killing him.

Because if Ross dies, the little guy will be sad again, so if something really happens to Ross, they will still try to bring him back to life and continue to torment him.

Ulan had never been treated like this before.

Because that's the mother of the black worm.

But the existence of this blond-haired kid is quite subtle.

These past few days, everyone has been listening to Wu Tu recount his childhood experiences playing with Ross every night before bed.

Even if it's very short, even if the little guy just keeps repeating it over and over.

But the more this happened, the darker the faces of the other people became.

Because in their eyes, Ross, who had disappeared once, became a human that Utah cared about and valued very much, simply because he worried about her.

All relationships outside of family, and the way the little guy seemed to care about them so much, made them very wary!

So Rose began his miserable journey.

He couldn't die, because he was being targeted, and other players stopped teaming up with Rose.

They seem to have a particularly hard life.

But even now, Ross remains calm. He simply stays with the little guy, doesn't complain to Wu Tu, doesn't speak ill of Wu Tu's family, and simply acts as Wu Tu's friend.

Cyrus was furious when he saw this.

What is Rose doing if he's not just putting on an act?!

Unable to suppress his nausea, he acted quickly and accidentally killed Ross.

"Shit!"

Cyrus was stunned for a moment, then continued to curse and try to save Ross, but this time Ross was completely dead and there was no way to bring him back to life.

and so……

Now things are messed up! Ross has become an NPC too, even though he was the one who recruited him!

Looking at the black rabbit with Ross, Cyrus just wanted to bang his head against the wall.

Cyrus could hardly believe it; he was deeply troubled by it and would probably never forget it until his death.

He was furious about this every day, but he couldn't resist the way the little guy pleaded with him, carefully tugging at his sleeve.

Ross finally got his wish and, with Cyrus's help, became a member of the Uburi family.

Thanks, Cyrus.

Looking at Wu Tu's older brothers and sisters, he finally understood why he had been targeted recently.

But he still wanted to say thank you.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to integrate into Wu Tu's world and stay with Wu Tu until the end of time.

Cyrus: @%％ɜː……

He used very foul language.

But the little guy couldn't resist the fact that he liked it and wanted Ross to play with him.

Now, Wutu has her family and friends all around her, and she can even take her family on a trip just like in that previous illusion.

Whenever the little guy wants to go somewhere, he asks his dad to take them on vacation to a location with that scenery.

Even without such a copy, Winston could replicate those illusions.

Winston's story is based on Ross's memories; it's absolutely true.

During the time Ross survived, he always remembered that the little guy wanted to see the outside world, so he traveled all over the world to let the little guy experience different scenery.

Although they never actually set foot on that land, Wutu and his family will continue to live happily like this forever.
