Volume 9: Vampires and Dungeons Chapter 20: The Fun of Games (Part 2)
"Kill them? Why?"
Facing Sally's words full of kindness and murderous intent, Li Lin, who was lying on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly.
"I have no reason to kill them. It's just a dispute over the succession within another family. To be precise, it has nothing to do with us. We are the ones who got involved and meddled in other people's business without permission."
"But my Lord, you are both happy and unhappy, right?"
"Ah, that's true."
Without even turning around, Li Lin could feel Sally's smiling face.
It was really nice to have someone who completely understood his existence and thoughts. Li Lin really liked the feeling of being able to talk freely. Especially when they were discussing other people's birth, aging, illness and death, and their future in the guest room, the feeling was even better. He stayed here because of this messy yet caring feeling.
Being able to unbridledly express one's own ideas, being able to perfectly present one's own ideas, and then using magic to shape one's own dreams. No wonder so many people are immersed in this pursuit every day, even if it is as unreliable as a flower in the water or a moon in the well, this feeling is indeed delightful.
"Yeah, I'm really unhappy."
Looking at the exquisite murals on the ceiling, the corners of Li Lin's mouth curled up slightly.
"How dare they tease me and play me for a fool? I was really angry for a moment. At that time, I even wanted to recreate the scenery in the Sky City once again. But when I think about it carefully, isn't this kind of confrontation and conspiracy what I want?"
"So you decided to go on... um, adventure here?"
"It's an adventure. Walking from a safe place to another place, and then exploring the dangers inside, if this isn't an adventure, what is it?"
Although I won't die, it's good to gain spiritual enlightenment from it.
Li Lin changed to a comfortable position on the sofa, looking at the luxurious and exquisite decorations and utensils around him, his heart filled with joy.
Aren't games supposed to be about seeking a balance between confrontation and mentality? Aren't games supposed to be full of reversals and crushing? Even MOBA games have the thrill of a comeback, and dress-up games also have a competitive consciousness against other costumes. Players are just such creatures that seek confrontation.
So when faced with this kind of confrontation full of fun and possibilities, Li Lin would not just flip the table. On the contrary, he would arrange his troops here with great interest, assuming that he would act and develop in this situation if he were a rookie. Although many people think this behavior is simply unreasonable and mentally ill, Li Lin himself enjoys it. This is how he joins this game.
Li Lin is not the kind of player who can't immerse himself or doesn't like deep role-playing. It's just that many people are not used to the role he plays and the angle of immersion, and they can't understand it at all.
“That’s the fun of the game.”
With his hands folded on his lower abdomen, Li Lin looked at the bright red roses outside and explained in a low voice to Sally behind him.
"Fighting, exploring, solving puzzles, if you just use violence to break through and solve them, then all games don't have much meaning. Huge profits are not what I pursue. I just like to fight and then win. This kind of happiness gained is what I hope for."
"I don't quite understand what you're saying... But overall, sir, do you think we can continue playing this game?"
"Of course it's no problem. You can avoid detection and act on your own even when you know the mystery and the university. Don't you have any desire to explore?"
"No? Anyway, as long as there are adults, it's enough for me."
"Then just assume that I have it."
Without spending too much time on this, Li Lin smiled gently at Sally.
With his hands propped up on the edge of the sofa, Li Lin looked at the beautifully sealed bookshelf and searched it. After a while, he found a few books that seemed to introduce family members and past achievements.
Nobles often like to brag about their ancestors and predecessors, and this is not surprising for this mysterious family. Several unpublished books record the so-called great deeds and achievements of some of their ancestors. Although most of them are nothing more than killing a few rabbits or deer while patrolling the forest, or at most killing a wild boar cub, there are often some more subtle details in them.
This is exactly the aspect of details that Li Lin likes. Those who underestimate the details will not have good results.
"You know you can find out by checking with your ability? Sir, you have the ability to read and record books, right?"
"This is actually a small rule I set for myself. If I break the game violently because of anger, then I will definitely lose. Isn't it good to use my brain to feel the charm of the script and atmosphere here ?"
"But when people think that you turned that fat guy into some kind of virtue, that's considered a violent break, right? That guy actually broke free from the suggestion, right?"
“…That.”
Looking at the story described in the book, Li Lin thought about it and immediately shook his head.
"That doesn't count. It's just due to some unexpected circumstances, so it doesn't actually exist."
"Eh? Does that count?"
"Anyway, I'm the one who makes the rules, so my words don't count."
"Okay , okay~ Then I'll be here waiting for your instructions at any time. No matter what the request is, Sally will do her best to meet your needs. No matter what kind of game it is, I will stand firmly by your side, please feel free to use me~"
"You will only be used when you are needed, so go to sleep now."
“Okay, okay~”
At the end of the day, adults still act according to their own preferences, which is no different from any other time.
Sally lay on the bed that had been swollen a little too much, curled up like a kitten, feeling the warmth of the bed, and gradually fell into a dream.
Although her spirit body had long been transformed into a rare demon in the world, Sharis herself was just a little girl. She didn't have any good spiritual experience, and everything in the kingdom of God was similar to her body, so Sharis cherished everything she did outside, including eating, sleeping, and walking.
Just like what Lord Li Lin said, this is also a kind of entertainment and confrontation.
The confrontation with oneself.
"See you later then, my Lord. Have fun playing."
Sally looked at Li Lin's back as he was reading, said good night, closed her eyes and fell asleep completely.
