Hai Feng stood out the royal chembers, waiting for Alice. He admits he was a bit curious,but he couldn't disobey her highness's orders. He played with a few strands of hair, trying to ease his boredom.
His eyes fell on the bracelet which his mother had given him before she died.
Most of the people in the village say he's barren but that's just a rumor they made up since he was unmarried.
He smiled to himself, feeling lucky to have someone like Alice. While unknown to him shadow tentacles slowly reached towards him. Meanwhile in the royal chembers Alice had just realized something important. She looked at the man who claimed to be her father, gently removing his hands from her face "I need some time to think about it"
He nodded his head "take all the time you need"
The moment Alice stepped outside she saw Hai Feng was asleep, leaning against the wall. But she knew that wasn't the real him. She didn't bother to wake him up and leaned against the wall. There was flaw in the words he had said. Her mother died before she was born and he died giving birth to her. Such logic didn't exist in the real world, meaning they were both just copies of her parents.
As expected the shadow tentacles grabbed her, pulling her into a deep abyss.
Alice felt like she was going to fall forever,as far she could see,it was only darkness. Then suddenly she fell on something soft. The thing exploded due to force, green slime covered Alice from head to toe. Alice let out a scream her eyes widened. Bugs.. lots of Bugs we're crawling everywhere. And had fell on top of a caterpillar.
Alice felt goosebumps on her skin, using her dress to wipe away the slime. Bugs we're everywhere, covering ever inch of the ground. No matter how gross she felt,she still walked forward, convincing herself it was all a bad dream. "Alice!,where are you" Alice nealy responded to the voice of Hai Feng calling her. But she realized she never told Hai Feng her real name,he always called her by Wife. "Come here all bugs,oh tress and grass grow" with a gentle whisper. All the bugs went to the sound of the voice of the voice,while trees and grass grew on the ground.
"Miss Alice!, you're alright!" With a smile on his face Yuki ran and hugged Alice. She hugged him tightly. Yuki looked up at Alice smiling"look,I unlocked my skills!" Alice smiling,patting his head"that's good Yuki, I'm proud of you" Yuki wrapped his arms around her waist, sinking his face into her stomach. "Enough with the huggs already, shouldn't you be glad we're alive as well?"
Alice smiled, hugging the both of them"Miss Lora,Mr Maxwell" Lora smiled gently patting her back"I also unlocked skills too you know" Maxwell smirked, strapping his huge gun around his shoulder "but we only unlocked one each Yuki got two"
Lora glares at Maxwell "shut up!" Alice just continued to smile, missing the good old days. Ren wrapped his arms around Alice from behind.
"Miss Alice, you're alive, you don't know how happy I am" Ren said . Hai Feng who had happened to stumble upon this scene felt his heart break into a million pieces.
"Alice huh?,such a pretty name" Hai Feng turned around and started walking back. Alice hurriedly grabbed his hand,he slapped her hand away. "You lair you said you loved me!, yeah, I found out the truth, about the game and everything"
A boy appeared next to Hai Feng,he had black hair and sea blue eyes. There were a few stitches around his neck, drawing a crescent like mark. "Nice to meet you, I'm Noah and you could say I also love. After Ethan died, I supported you. I fell in love with you,but you don't even remember me yet"
Noah dropped his shoulders around Hai Feng's. "Lying to this poor boy" with lightning speed,he was suddenly right next to her."now let's how you fix him and make him believe in you" And just like that both Noah and Hai Feng disappeared.
