Chapter 26 Their pursuer

"Wow, it's so hot, it's so hot, let me chew, chew, chew, chew..."

Lily stuffed the roe deer meat into her mouth, her cheeks were bulging as cute as a squirrel.

Rocky held his helmet and stuffed the meat into his mouth with difficulty. His chain sword was stuck on the mound next to him. In front of the sword were three sticks of incense he took out from nowhere. He took advantage of the moonlight in the sky to comfort him.

Machine soul.

This combination was so weird that Fu Xi sat across from the two of them, muttering to himself while eating meat.

"Miss Lily, why are you here? This is no man's land, and there are no developed towns within a radius of one or two thousand kilometers." Fu Xi asked Lily, who looked more lively.

She is the same as in the game, cheerful, lively and quirky, and seems to be easier to talk to.

After hearing the question, Lily thought for a moment, then stuck out her tongue and tapped her head.

"Lost, hey!"

Fu Xi:……

You, hey, you...forget it, you can't curse, you can't curse.

Fu Xi resisted the rising blood pressure and used his strength to keep himself calm. Since Fu Hongying and Ti Lu hadn't come back yet, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to defeat the two protagonists.

At this time, Rocky, who had been eating silently, put down his helmet and made a gesture to praise the machine spirit.

"Thank you for the hospitality. May the spirit of the machine be with you."

He thanked Xi, and then said: "To be honest, Lily and I had no choice but to escape together and ran into the no-man's land of the wasteland because we were being hunted."

"Rocky!"

Lily screamed and looked at her companion with dissatisfaction: "Why did you say it like this?"

"But if we don't explain it clearly, how can we dispel Mr. Fu Xi's doubts? It's strange to meet people in no man's land, right?" Luo Qi puzzled and spread his hands.

Lily kicked his calf under the table and said confidently:

"But if you put it this way, wouldn't we just become lost dogs who are run over by others?"

"According to what you say, we are really lost dogs." Rocky patted his head optimistically.

"You are the dog!"

Lily said dissatisfied.

The two exchanged words, and Lily, who was victorious, turned to Fu Xi and said: "In short, just as this guy said, we have been walking in the wasteland and Gobi for more than a month. Thank you for letting me live with your barbecue."

come over."

"Pursued?" Fu Xi frowned slightly: "What did you do to be hunted?"

"Just didn't do anything!"

Lily, who was broken and broken, began to vomit her bitterness: "I'm still wondering. I was fine at the Errit Airport, eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly a group of people appeared chasing me. Could it be that it was my idol selection?

A killer hired by my opponent? Damn it, I knew those little pretense bitches were jealous of me!"

Fu Xi:……

Lily, the protagonist of the group, participated in the idol selection more than 20 times in the whole plot career of "Border Line". Her best score entered the second round of the preliminary round. Most of the time, she was eliminated in the first round. She is addicted to food but never changes her infatuation.

.

"Lily and I have similar experiences." Rocky nodded: "That day I was working as a security guard at the airport terminal. A group of famous snitches suddenly attacked the terminal. Fortunately, the machine spirit was very happy that day and blessed me with the steel chain sword.

I was able to escape with my life and kill a few members of the Snitch. They have been chasing me since then."

As he spoke, he quickly prayed a few words.

Lily Rui, who was standing next to her, commented: "If you ask me, that group of snitches are just after you. What treasures can there be in the civilian cargo terminal that are worthy of being spotted by snitches? Attacking the dock is just a cover-up."

"Maybe."

Rocky nodded: "But I haven't offended anyone, why do they want to kill me?"

"Don't ask me, ask that guy named 'Emperor'!"

Lily rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth viciously: "If I catch him, I will definitely clamp him to death with pliers. How dare you chase me?!"

emperor!

Fu Xi's eyelids twitched: "The person who is chasing you is the 'Emperor'? How did you know?"

"I found it out from the killer's mouth."

Lily chewed the meat and replied: "Don't think I'm just a weak and beautiful idol doctor. I still know a lot about women's self-defense and the like."

As she spoke, she may have felt that her tone of voice was not soft enough, cute or idol-like, so she went back to make up for it.

"Brother Fu Xi, let me tell you, there were several times when I was just a hair away from being caught by the killer. Woo hoo hoo, I'm so scared."

"Thinking about the smile you gave those killers when they were executed, I think they should be the ones to be afraid of." Rocky complained beside him.

"You don't have to say anything if you don't know how to speak. Oh no... I hate it. How can you say that to others?"

I'm so disgusted, get away.

Fu Xi's face was expressionless, completely ignoring Lily's acting skills.

He had already begun to think about the information revealed in the conversation between the two just now.

The ‘Emperor’ is after Lily and Rocky? Why?

The present time in the game timeline is before the plot takes place.

They should all be just ordinary people. Lily dreams of being an idol, and Rocky makes a living at the dock. There is no intersection between the two and they don't know each other... The words from their mouths also confirm this.

If they weren't being chased by the 'Emperor', the two people who were so different from each other wouldn't have gotten together, and Rocky still believed in the machine spirit.

Would killing them do the emperor any good?

Fu Xi suddenly remembered something. Noah had previously reported to him a report on the rebirth military's actions against the emperor.

At the end of the report, Noah said that the "Emperor" issued the order to assassinate him after he left the Velvet Dance Company.

Combining this clue, it is not difficult to find the general rules:

The parties being pursued together make up the three giants of the protagonist group in the game. The assassination order issued by the ‘Emperor’ was not aimed at Fu Xi at all, but at Tilu!

The ‘Emperor’ has the memory of the game!

As soon as this thought came up, Fu Xi could not help but tremble all over.

Are there other time travelers in this world besides him?

But that's not right either, Fu Xi shook his head.

Lily and Rocky started being hunted a month ago, and at that time, Tilu was obviously ignored.

Why skip Tiru?

Fu Xi felt that if he grasped a certain key, he could pursue and win over at the same time.

Just as he thought it was possible to regain Tilu, the 'Emperor' naturally thought it was possible too.

It wasn't until he took Tillu away from the Velvet Dance Company and forcibly changed Tillu's life trajectory that the 'Emperor' felt that things were out of control and issued an assassination order.

If this is the case, it makes sense why Nero Soul suddenly became involved with omnics and developed "biological server" technology.

He is also the target of being attracted by the 'Emperor'.

After thinking about it, Fu Xi shook his head to prevent his random thoughts from expanding.

He faced the hunted protagonist duo again and asked casually:

"So what are your plans for the future?"

"Ah? Garlic? Okay, okay, of course you have to eat garlic when eating barbecue." Lily nodded vigorously, obviously she was only focused on eating and didn't hear clearly.

However, Rocky, who was already kneeling on one knee in front of the chain sword and praying, turned around:

"We originally planned to go through the Hollow Wasteland, find a port from the Hidden Whale Sea, and escape to a place where the pursuers can't find it. But not long ago, we heard that something happened in Sarlam Town and the path was blocked.

… I haven’t made a new decision yet.”

Fu Xi nodded, thinking not to mess with me.

It's just that he didn't say it out loud. They just met by chance today, and they didn't have such a high level of trust. It was an unexpected surprise to get the news about the emperor from the two of them.

He stood up and took two thin quilts from the android's hands:

"I will camp here tonight. If you two are not in a hurry, you can rest nearby. You can also use the campfire here as you like."

Lily, whose belly was swollen, reacted at this moment, wiped hand oil on Rocky and took the thin quilt.

"Thank you, Brother Fu Xi. You are a good person. Anyone who likes Doraemon will not have bad luck."

Doraemon?

What Doraemon?

When he was stunned, Lily had already squatted down and greeted his steps:

"Hello, what's your name, kitten?"

Fu Xi lowered his head and saw a round, blue and white doraemon squatting at his feet.

The bright yellow machine eyes are blinking.
