I loaded the dream game

You too, can't you be more serious?

Irena uttered an “ooh” and looked at him angrily, covering her forehead.

Xia Zhi pretended not to see it.

After teaching the two girls a lesson, he turned his attention back to business.

With the help of the coordinates attached to the letter, he has successfully established a connection between this universe and that world.

What we need to do next is very simple.

"We'll go over there and be back soon." He looked at Xia Shi and said.

Xia Shi tilted his head slightly: "Wouldn't you like to play for a while?"

I didn't go there to play...

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, then looked at the divine girl in confusion.

Why do I feel like you really want me to stay there?

"?"

Xia Shi blinked at him with an innocent expression.

……never mind.

Xia Zhi shook his head, and after giving Xia Shi a few words of advice, he extended his hand to Irena.

"Then let's go."

"……Um."

Irena took a deep breath, calmed herself down a little, and then placed her hand in the boy's palm.

Xia Zhi gently held her hand.

The next moment, a white light flickered and enveloped the bodies of the two.

...In fact, this layer of white light doesn't mean anything, it's just a special effect. Xia Zhi thinks that since it's a world travel, it should have some appearance. It would be too boring if it's ordinary. Anyway, these lights and shadows don't cost money, so of course they can be done.

As he thought this, he held the girl's hand, and their bodies began to become illusory and gradually disappeared in the white light.

However, what neither of them saw was that just as their bodies were completely engulfed by the white light and were about to disappear, the brooch on Irena's chest, which symbolized the stars, quietly lit up with little starlight...

.......

Chapter 734: First Encounter

The white light gradually dissipated, and the solid touch under my feet came again, as if the film that isolated the world was broken, and the surrounding noise suddenly came into my ears.

Xia Zhi knew that he had successfully arrived in another world.

There is just one problem...

He turned his head and saw that there was no one beside him. The right hand that was originally holding the girl was also empty. A question mark slowly emerged in his head.

Where is Irena, who is so big like me?

Did they get dispersed during the transmission?

Xia Zhi fell into deep thought.

But... shouldn't it? It's not just a simple space teleportation, so it shouldn't happen.

If there's no problem with the transmission... Eh? Is there something wrong with me?

Just as he was thinking this and hesitating about where to go to find Irena, he suddenly heard a commotion not far away, which attracted his attention.

Xia Zhi raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from. In the middle of the crowd, he saw a figure with long gray hair...

……

The girl does not know her parents.

The oldest memory that can be recalled is the ruins on the seaside full of damp smell. Broken wood, gravel-covered beds, scattered clothes and luggage, and only skeletons of houses are left, piecing together a fragmented picture.

Later, someone in the orphanage that adopted her told her that it was the scene of everything falling apart after the flood.

Life in the orphanage was boring for the girl. She had to get up at a fixed time, eat, and play. At noon, she would eat again, take a nap, and then continue playing and learning. At night, she would take a bath and sleep after eating.

The same thing was repeated the next day and the day after.

She had to repeat this boring life trapped in a small miniature world every day.

Fortunately, because she had a talent for magic, her teacher taught her some magical knowledge, allowing her to slightly feel the differences between herself and other people around her.

Occasionally, there would be unfamiliar adults visiting the orphanage, and the teacher told them to say hello when adults came, so she would always greet them politely.

The adults were very happy to hear their greetings, as if they would be praised as long as they greeted them. And every time an adult came to visit, there would always be a child who left.

The teacher only said that they were taken to the outside world, and that as long as she was a good child, someone would come and find her and take her away one day.

The girl seemed to understand, and turned around to look at the gate of the orphanage. The bright sunlight shone in through the small round window on the door, illuminating the small piece of land in front of her.

She didn't know her parents, didn't know where her hometown was, and knew nothing about the world outside.

She doesn't know what a good child is.

The girl had nothing but the feeling of being out of breath.

Being trapped in a narrow world and living in ignorance made her feel suffocated as if she was drowned by a flood and trapped under the water... She hated this feeling.

“So boring…々¨…” she thought to herself.

The joyless pain ate away at her heart every day.

As long as she waited patiently, someone would take her away sooner or later. But to this day, no such person has appeared.

She thought she must be a bad child.

Then, finally one day, she had enough.

Not wanting to wait any longer, she chose to act like a bad kid.

The girl sneaked out of the orphanage, used her magic to leave the country, and came to the free world outside.

She had just come into the outside world and knew nothing about everything, but fortunately, she met many kind people.

With the help of those kind people, although it took some time, she finally succeeded in reaching the next country.

This also made her believe that people in the outside world are kind and friendly.

Until this day...

……

"how so……"

The girl fled on the road penniless, her empty stomach growling.

But the worst thing doesn't end there.

A week after entering the country, all the money given to her by the businessman who brought her here had been spent. Without a job, even accommodation and food became a problem for her.

Fortunately, the girl was lucky enough, and when she was at her most destitute, she was helped by a kind-hearted store manager, and found a job distributing candies to promote a candy store that was about to open on the corner.

The store manager was kind-hearted and prepared meals for her every day. The girl was very grateful as she no longer had to worry about food expenses, and she worked even harder.

Until a few days later, when the candy store was about to open, a group of ferocious-looking uninvited guests came into the store.

Those people said they were there to collect debts, and it seemed that the store manager had borrowed money from them.

But the store manager didn't have any extra money to pay them back, so he begged them to give him some more time and promised to pay him back once the store was doing well.

The girl thought this was a reasonable request, but the evil spirits didn't seem to think so.

"Who will wait for you! Give me back my money now!"

One of them grabbed the store manager's chest viciously and said angrily that if he didn't come out, they would dig out his internal organs and sell them.

The girl, who had never seen such a thing, was terrified and stood there, not daring to move.

But soon, she saw the store manager who was also frightened. She recalled that he used to pay her salary every day and prepare meals for her even if he didn't have any extra money. Her heart ached, and when she came to her senses, she had already stood in front of those people.

"Please, please wait a moment! If you want money, I'll pay!"

Having said this, she handed all the money she had to those people.

So she became penniless again, but it didn't matter, she had nothing before coming here, so...

"Hey, hey, hey, are you looking down on us, little sister? How is this little money enough?"

Eh?

The girl stood there in a daze, and then she felt the evil creature looking her up and down.

"Looking closely, you look pretty. You should be able to fetch a good price... If you still can't pay, you can give this thing to us."

The second half of his sentence was directed to the store manager.

The girl had a bad feeling.

She turned around and looked at the store manager for help.

However, the other party turned his eyes away

"I'm sorry, you can sell her."

At that moment, the girl was sure that this guy was a scumbag.

So she stopped paying attention to the manager and chose to escape immediately.

The girl went to the street, found a soldier from this country and asked him for help.

But the soldiers grabbed her.

"Great! I was actually looking for you."

Eh?

The girl was stunned again.

The soldier said that the candies she distributed were addictive and were not allowed to be sold by law, and she needed to take responsibility.

The girl then realized that she had been cheated.

So she chose to run away again

"Ah! Stop! Wait a minute—!"

Just like this, the girl is now not only penniless, but also being chased by both soldiers and evil spirits, so she can only try to escape in the alley.

Although she could use magic, she had little experience and her thoughts were easily seen through. Before long, she was trapped in an alley by both sides.

The only lucky thing is that they are not in the same group.

"Hey, officer, what's up? This little girl is an important commodity to us!"

It was obvious that in the minds of those evil creatures, I had become their commodity.

"What are you doing? We just want to ask her questions. There have been a lot of complaints about her making questionable candies, and she needs to be held accountable!"

Similarly, in the soldiers’ minds, they themselves have become bad guys who have violated the law.

"Um, um, I'm not..."

The girl (hao Zhao Zhao) wanted to explain anxiously, but didn't know where to start.

What should we do?

Surrounded by adults, she was panicked and scared. Although she knew magic, she was still a child and could only do so much. Once something happened, she could not do anything and could only stand there with tears in her eyes.

Perhaps this is the price she pays for being a bad kid.

"what to do……"

The girl's heart was filled with anxiety and despair. This was the first time she felt the malice of the world. The panic and helplessness in her heart surged like a tide, almost drowning her.

She felt suffocated again, and the world around her seemed to gradually sink into darkness...

"Who can come...save me..."

The girl squatted down helplessly, and just when she was about to cry
