Chapter 22 Can I go home now?
Ning Jun shook his head. "Nothing. I just feel a little emotional."

Dahe and another young man filled the soil again and bowed to the tombstone.

Soon, he left.

Although the scenes in this dungeon are very realistic, the villagers feel very much like NPCs.

Going through the motions all the time seems fake.

Instead, Yanyan, who had not spoken for a long time, gave Ning Jun the feeling of being alive.

She squatted down again, "What's your real name? Xiaoxiao, or Yanyan, those aren't fake names, right?"

As early as when she saw the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, she had always been suspicious of the little girl who suddenly appeared.

From what the villagers said, she became more and more certain that Yanyan was unusual.

The bracelet found in the rocky forest is exactly the same as the one on Yanyan's hand.

Even if it is done by one person, it cannot be exactly the same. This is the biggest loophole.

When she found Dahe again, her guess was confirmed.

In the entire village, no villager has ever interacted with Yanyan.

This is very unusual.

Even Yanyan's parents were ostracized in this village.

But there will always be people who feel sympathy for an orphan who has lost her parents, such as Dahe.

But Daha never mentioned the name "Yanyan" from beginning to end.

What he said was always Xiaoxiao.

Therefore, Ning Yun boldly made a guess that Yanyan and Xiaoxiao were the same person.

The little girl raised her head, and the expression on her face changed slightly.

"Big sister, you are so smart."

It's the same tone and voice, but the feeling it gives people is completely different.

Ning Jun always felt that the little girl in front of her looked young, but her real age was much older than her.

Because her eyes were heavy.

So heavy that it seems like I have lost the whole world
"You," Ning Jun wanted to say something, but was stuck.

"My name is Xiaoyan," she said with a maturity that didn't suit a child. "I've been dead for a long, long time, and no one has ever looked for me. Big sister, you're so amazing that you actually found me."

A long time, how long?
Ning Jun couldn't help but ask, "Isn't anyone in the village looking for you?"

Xiaoyan shook her head. "No, because they died too. Everyone died."

So, Anle Village is a ghost village?

"So they are all ghosts now?" Ning Jun got goosebumps again.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, when I woke up, they were there, just like before. Brother Dahe was there too."

It seems that this copy is not led by Xiaoyan.

She even began to wonder, Xiaoyan looked so much like a real person, was she really an NPC made up by the game officials?
Ning Jun shuddered at the thought of the possibilities behind this.

She quickly stopped her thoughts. Even if there was a shocking conspiracy behind it, it was not something she, who was just trying to survive in the wild, could shake.

"Have I completed my mission now?"

When she learned the name Xiaoyan, her mission became to "help Xiaoyan sleep peacefully."

Burying Xiaoyan next to her parents can be considered a kind of perfection.

"Once I lie down in there, my mission as an elder sister will be completed." Xiaoyan accepted her own death so calmly.

Or rather, for who knows how long, death was not scary to her.

The horrible thing is that she is all alone and can't go back to her parents.

Although he knew that Xiaoyan was not a human being, Ning Jun thought about her fate and what the villagers said.

Her experience was so real that Ning Jun couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.

Like before, Ning Jun raised his hand and touched Xiaoyan's furry head.

"I wish you a safe journey back to Mom and Dad."

She tilted her head slightly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a gentle light flashed in her eyes.

Although she was already dead and could not feel the body temperature of others, Xiaoyan knew that the hand on her head was so warm.

For the first time, she smiled with childlike satisfaction, "Yeah!"

"Thank you, big sister. I'm going home."

Xiaoyan's figure turned into starlight and gradually disappeared.

Then, it fell into the soil and disappeared. Finally, the sound of the mission completed rang in Ning Yun's ears.

[Congratulations to the player for completing the task and obtaining the rating]

She was in no mood to care about the sounds around her ears; all her attention was focused on her hands.

That was the bracelet Xiaoyan had been wearing. The bloodstains had disappeared, and it looked brand new, as if it had just been woven.

【Xiaoyan's Bracelet: Unique Item】

[After wearing, it can protect the player from fatal damage three times]

[Number of uses: 0/3]

"Big sister, I'll leave this to you."

I heard Xiaoyan's last words.

Obviously, I didn't seem to do anything, but I received sincere thanks from a little girl.

The naughty Xiaobai has always been well behaved due to the influence of Ning Jun's mood.

At this moment, it seemed to feel Ning Jun's sad mood.

He came to her and rubbed his head gently against her palm.

"Well, I'm not sad anymore." Ning Jun calmed down and put on the bracelet.

Ning Jun and Xiaobai were kicked out of the copy. With the experience from last time, she didn't feel as dizzy this time.

When we returned to the cabin, it was still gray outside due to the storm.

Xiao Qichen's profile picture began to flash.

Such a coincidence?
She opened the chat box and found that the other party had only sent a greeting.

"Are you ok?"

Ning Jun had a lot to say, but for a moment, he didn't know where to start.

"It's pretty good, and I also got some valuable props."

"It's just that I feel very complicated right now. The NPC in this game is too smart. I always unconsciously mistake her for a real person."

The name Xiaoyan will probably remain in her memory for a long time.

Xiao Qichen quickly sent another message, "The game is just a game, and the NPCs in the dungeon are just NPCs."

"Oh," Ning Jun sighed.

"Okay, I'll try to tell the difference."

She just lay down on the bed and relaxed herself.

After nearly four hours of copying, she was really tired.

"Have you checked the copy rating?"

Xiao Qichen's words left Ning Jun confused.

"Ah, ratings? I wasn't paying attention."

She quickly opened the panel and found that a [Copy] section had appeared at some point.

After opening it, I found that it is divided into [Single-player copy] [Double-player copy] [Team copy].

Currently, the first two panels are lit, but the third is still dim.

Open the [Single-player copy], there is only one thing in it, "Xiaoyan's Wish, Rating SSS".

SSS?

She sent it to Xiao Qichen, "What does this mean, the superlative?"

Xiao Qichen was not surprised at all, "Well, generally speaking, if the rating reaches S, it is possible to get special props."

So when he saw the bracelet Ning Jun obtained, he guessed that the rating of the single-player copy must be very high.

But unexpectedly, it was really SSS level.

"You are amazing," Xiao Qichen praised sincerely.

Ning Jun chuckled, "It's just luck. If it weren't for the ticket you gave me, I wouldn't be able to enter this dungeon. We are all very powerful!"

The two people praised each other's business and the atmosphere became relaxed.

The elusive game official suddenly appeared.

"Wow, I have a big surprise for everyone today~"

"Some players can go home now~"
