。。。。。。。。。。

「Why keep following? Are you busy with money? 」 The girl impatiently stopped.

「I want to find help. 」 Lu Ming said.

「Find?! 」 The girl was somewhat surprised, but quickly sneered: "Your level, what can you help me with? If you directly force, then you'll understand anyway? 」.

Lu Ming looked at the girl, knowing, the girl's expression and tone were basically appropriate for her age.

The harsh life made her more mature, the girl's eyes already saw no light.

「Can you tell your name? 」 Lu Ming said: "As exchange, I'll give you all these fish. 」.

The girl glanced at Lu Ming's cloth bag, which was full of fish.

One bag of fish could let her family live for a week.

「Need. 」 The girl withdrew her gaze: "Also don't follow anymore; inside, compared to the inner city, it's very chaotic. 」.

The girl said, turning around intending to leave.

「Older sister! 」.

A boy suddenly ran and hugged her.

「Mu? What's wrong? 」 The girl stroked the boy's head, tone showing worry: "Let him stay at home to take care of grandma? 」.

The boy let out a sob and cried: "Grandma said she was tired, but she's been asleep for a long time and hasn't woken up…".

Hearing that, the girl's face changed in shock, she took the boy's hand and ran toward another direction.

Lu Ming thought of giving up, he casually threw the bag onto the ground, the guide to find again, but there was no time to waste.

【Tip: Detected many intersections between player and NPC, main quest updated!】

【Main quest: Follow the girl (maybe obtain clues from there?)】

The field of vision suddenly displayed a line of subtitles.

Lu Ming looked at the bag on the ground, then looked at the direction the girl went.

Playing?

。。。。。。。。。。。

The shadow's speed is faster than the main body; Lu Ming quickly also chased the girl.

The girl ran into a dilapidated bungalow.

Lu Ming only after entering discovered that the bungalow was divided into several rooms, almost every room was inhabited.

Lu Ming walked into a dim room, inside came waves of foul odor, the faint sound of flies.

【Main plot:

「Refugees, residents of East Rising City without fixed abode, perhaps would be half‑happy just picking up a rotten fish. 」.

「Once had home, hunger, equal treatment, took away the home. 」.

「When sensing the arrival of the god of death, one will choose a dark corner and die quietly. 」.

「Please get used to seeing corpses everywhere, the high‑level people, such a world as you wish! 」.

【Main progress: 18%】

………………

In the room, an old person lay on the broken bed; hunger had almost reduced them to skin and bone, the chest no longer rose and fell.

Just after entering, the girl immediately smelled a rotten odor, and pulled the brother in front of her into her embrace, also covering his eyes.

「…Grandma? 」.

The girl's eyes welled up, she could hardly believe that the grandma who had been smiling and saying she'd wait for her return had now passed.

「Older sister, why is grandma still…? 」 Hearing the faint sobbing, the boy felt doubtful.

The girl sharply inhaled.

「It's okay, grandma has already fallen asleep, don't wake her…」.

The girl held the brother in her embrace, hugging tightly, not noticing that two people had already stood behind her.

「How is it, said, heard the female voice…」.

「Female? Clearly a girl, and moreover, are you looking for clues inside? 」.

The girl's face changed in shock, she looked behind, a hand suddenly grabbed her hair and lifted her up.

「Older sister! 」 The boy panicked, tried to get up and push that man, but was quickly held down firmly by the man's accomplice.

「Mu! 」 The girl shouted anxiously.

「Yo, take a good look, the lass looks not bad. 」 The boy's voice, with a swaying laugh: "Haven't tried yet, haha… Earth game is simply awesome! 」.

「Hurry…」 The one holding the boy's accomplice said: "Finish up, then switch. 」.

The laughter echoed in the room.

「Die…」.

"What are you saying?" the man asked with a smile.

The girl didn't respond, but suddenly lifted her head and bit the man's hand.

"Fk… an NPC dares to bite?!"

Pain twisted the man's face as he raised his fist to strike, when suddenly he felt a hard, cold object against the back of his head; before he could react, a loud bang echoed throughout the flat.

【Player killed: De Lu】

【Points gained: 2】

【Skill points gained: 2】

Blood, the man's brain burst; his eyes instantly lost focus, and he collapsed.

The teammate beside him, seeing this, in fear also reached for his gun, but Lu Ming didn't give him a chance to shoot.

In an instant, another gunshot rang out, but the shot went wide.

He clutched his neck, bright red blood seeping between his fingers, his face twisted in pain: "... also a player? Why?!"

And Lu Ming felt it a pity, regretting that his shot had gone wide.

"Probably because…"

The gunshot wounded his throat; each word was painful: "Please… save me… if I'm eliminated at the start, … I'll be erased…"

Lu Ming's gaze turned cold: "Clearly there are many ways to survive to the end…"

Lu Ming intended to let him fend for himself, but the girl on the ground suddenly sprang up, punched him down, picked up a stone from the ground, and smashed it hard into his face.

One, two, blood stained the floor; each blow seemed to vent his fury at fate.

"It's so hard to live, clearly living so carefully, clearly doing nothing wrong, why am I bullied?!"

The girl's heart-rending voice echoed in the flat.

Lu Ming watched the scene, didn't intervene, only silently put his gun back into the system backpack.

He was a player, but already had a nickname.

Lu Ming seemed to understand the horror of the earthly game: it releases the inner evil, letting one become completely a player who does as he pleases.
