Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"I...I..." Bangya stammered for a long time, but couldn't come up with a coherent answer.

Looking at her embarrassed appearance, Lu Ze recalled the two pink-haired girls in his dream, and a bold guess suddenly came to his mind.

"Are you dreaming about me all the time?" he asked with a wicked grin, a hint of smugness in his voice. "You still say you transferred here just because you wanted my body?"

"Shut up!"

Bongya, blushing, bumped into Lu Ze's arms.

Lu Ze thought she wanted to hide in his arms like an ostrich, and was about to hug her when she opened her mouth and bit his shoulder as soon as she entered his arms.

"hiss--"

Fortunately, although the girl was shy, she knew her limits and didn't bite too hard or break the skin. However, the sharp canine teeth still caused a stinging pain as they pierced the skin, making Lu Ze grimace in pain.

"I surrender, I surrender!" Lu Ze quickly raised his hands to indicate his surrender.

Only then did Bonya release her mouth, burying her face in his chest, remaining motionless for a long while.

Lu Ze didn't say anything more, but gently wrapped his arms around her, stroking her back with his palms, as if soothing a cat with its fur standing on end.

After a while, Bangya finally calmed down, straightened up from his arms, and returned to her usual expressionless face.

(ᗜ ‸ ᗜ)

Although a faint blush still lingered on her cheeks, she appeared calm on the surface.

Then, with a straight face, Bangya began to tell Lu Ze in detail about all the dreams she had after completing the game.

She passed five challenges, and correspondingly had five dreams.

Three of the dreams were unrelated to Lu Ze.

One dream was of her being ostracized on the street when she was a child. At that time, she seemed to have some kind of defect, which is why she was looked down upon by others.

The second dream was that she was in a space station, searching for something with a woman with purplish-red hair.

Another dream was that her game account was banned, a terrible nightmare that still makes her angry to this day.

As for the other two dreams, they were both related to Lu Ze.

In a dream, Lu Ze carried her on his back, running through ruins, surrounded by swaying zombies.

She lay on his back, a submachine gun in her hand, firing at the monsters that pounced on her.

The dream was so real that she can still recall the smell of gunpowder and blood that filled the air.

In another dream, she and Lu Ze fought side by side against a group of monks.

She and Lu Ze stood back to back, killing wave after wave, but the number of monks in robes never decreased.

After listening, Lu Ze reached out and affectionately scratched Bangya's nose.

"So you transferred here really just to find me?"

His heart felt filled with something warm.

Bonya lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.

Lu Ze remained silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts.

"So, those monks were actually our enemies all along," Lu Ze guessed.

Bonya nodded: "Although I don't know why they can't find us, they are probably using the Gate of Truth as bait to search for us."

"No wonder they're hunting down players who've completed the game." Lu Ze suddenly realized, recalling his familiarity with the game within the Gate of Truth.

"Perhaps it's because only the two of us can complete all the levels of the game. So any player who has played this game would rather kill the wrong person than let them go."

What grudge could possibly lead someone to go to such lengths?

Lu Ze thought to himself.

What did he and Bangya do before they lost their memories that made them so relentlessly hunted down for over a decade?

He looked down at Bonya in his arms, who was also lost in thought.
