C64 (2/2)
Looking at the emaciated back, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to take the photo.
”Li Jiehui.”
Li Jiehui turned his head around. He was still that familiar youth, but he had become so unfamiliar with him now, and he didn't know how to face her. Even if he had thousands of things to say in his heart, he couldn't say them.
”Li Jiehui, can we calm down and have a chat?”
Yang Yingsen's sincere attitude finally moved the soft-hearted Li Jiehui. She nodded slightly, but her eyes drifted off into the distance from time to time. After all, the Yang Yingsen in her previous image would never take the initiative to talk to her.
”I want to know, why did you come into contact with The World?”
”I think I should ask you that!”
Li Jiehui retorted back angrily.
Only then did Yang Yingsen remember the scene when he quarreled with her that day. Although this girl who was not related in any way to him, she hated his enemy more than him. Thinking of this, Yang Yingsen felt a deep sense of guilt that surrounded him.
”I'm sorry, but I made some decisions on my own, because I found out that my parents had left a lot of clues for me in The World, and I often dreamed that my parents were asking me for help in a mysterious and untouchable place.”
Yang Yingsen held his face in pain, as if the scene had reappeared, his eyes were filled with grief.
Hearing Yang Yingsen's words, Li Jiehui was shocked, this game which had swept across the entire world was still concealing clues left behind for him by Yang Yingsen's parents.
”What you mean is, perhaps Uncle and Aunt are not dead! They are waiting for you in a corner of the ”World” to save them! ”
Li Jiehui said in shock.
Yang Yingsen weakly nodded his head. He knew that telling Li Jiehui everything would mean taking this pure and kind girl on a journey in the future. He really didn't want this one and only family member of his to suffer any harm in the real world.
”I don't know this much. All I know is that as long as I can find a hidden place within the « World » — the Heroic Forest — then all the answers will be revealed.”
Yang Yingsen spoke slowly, he looked at the young lady with an exaggerated expression, Yang Yingsen understood that it was difficult for her to understand such a large amount of information, but in order to ease the tension between them, they had no choice but to come up with a plan.
”So that's how it is. I finally understand why you've been acting like you've been stuck in a trap recently. You're a person I can't normally see.”
Li Jiehui finally came to a realization, the knot in his heart for Yang Yingsen had finally been relieved.
”So? Why did you appear in the city of machinery and become a sniper? ”
Yang Yingsen asked curiously. This was his ultimate goal to get close to Li Jiehui.
Li Jiehui bit his lips and said with a red face.
”It's all because of you, I was already at the city of machinery from the beginning. Later on, the instructors there said that I was very talented, and on that day, I coincidentally saw you fighting in a plaza. I think that one day, I might be able to meet you.”
After hearing Li Jiehui's reasoning, Yang Yingsen almost couldn't laugh out loud. However, he quickly thought about how the despicable Ling Jing had used his relationship with Li Jiehui to lure him to the city of machinery, and so Yang Yingsen decided that he definitely could not let Li Jiehui stay in the city of machinery.
”Li Jiehui, join our team!”
