The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPCCh41 - Spring Banquet (7)
"You were the one who arranged that meat dish?"
How could a concubine have the courage to repeatedly provoke him? It turned out that this NPC was testing him. Y2gLka
Ren Yifei immediately controlled his facial expression. As long as he hasn't shed all pretences, he hasn't lost yet. If the other person was bluffing again, wouldn't he lose too wrongly?
"Who are you?" Qing Hong scrutinised him, trying to find any flaws on his face.

Ren Yifei calmly looked at the agitated Qing Hong, "A person who has an old grudge against you."
"Senior brother?" For a moment, Qing Hong had thought he was facing his senior brother. However, he rejected the idea a second later, "No, you're not. Who are you? Why are you pretending to be my senior brother? What have you done to him?" 4rpCkm
This is what happens when you encounter someone who was too familiar with your character. As long as there was even the slightest flaw, they would catch on and test you.
Ren Yifei inwardly sighed as he tried his best to come up with countermeasures.
He didn't know if NPCs can kill unexposed players since the other party looked like he wants to tear him apart.
Qing Hong didn't wait for Ren Yifei's response and directly reached out to grab his wrist. Ren Yifei wanted to dodge but his opponent's movements were too quick and precise. The other party grabbed his wrist and pressed his fingers against it to feel his pulse.

Ren Yifei only felt a chill rush through his veins and shivered involuntarily.
"Not good," he thought.
Foreign energy roamed around Ren Yifei's body and tried to freeze him into an ice cube.
Qing Hong's expression was one of dismay, "How can it be senior brother's body? You?" MNVqvb
He stared closely at Ren Yifei with suspicion and inquiry in his eyes. His aura becoming more treacherous and dangerous.
Ren Yifei stood still as his lips pulled into a straight line, "Have you confirmed it now?"
"Are you really my senior brother?" Qing Hong took another step forward. He got so close that he was able to see his reflection in the other person's eyes.
He shook his head, even if all the evidence said that this person was his senior brother, he still stubbornly denied, "You're not him!" qzfGFp
He was still able to be in denial, this must be true love.
The situation has become more complicated now. Ren Yifei knew that if he can't pass this obstacle called Qing Hong, he would be met with a difficult challenge. Not because of anything in particular, but because this was someone else's domain.
"You're so pitiful, Qing Hong," Ren Yifei opened his mouth, his lips were a little dry and his voice was slightly hoarse, "He still occasionally thinks of you as his junior brother, and no matter how he tried to rationalise it, he still couldn't understand why you did that to him."
Qing Hong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened slightly as his pupils shrunk. v4NIBR
"You've already found out, right? That this body hasn't recovered at all," Ren Yifei pointed at himself, "Won't you guess why?"
The amount of information in this single sentence was too much. Even someone like Qing Hong couldn't react immediately which gave Ren Yifei the time to set the scene.

"All those years, he has not figured out why you did what you did. Was everyday life too bland and boring that you want to seek a stronger stimulus, or did you want to seek some sort of profane pleasure? Emotions in this world are really complicated... isn't that right, junior brother?"
Qing Hong was too familiar with the original owner, and it was too difficult for him to hide from Qing Hong. zUBwr6
In that case, it would be better for him to create a new 'He Jun'.
He could take an alternate route from his perfect enactment template and deviate to a more dangerous but effective path.
In his mindscape, the 'He Jun' dressed in white walked over. He entered into this body and looked at Qing Hong
His and He Jun's voices overlapped:
"I, for one, am He Jun."
Countless blank scenes emerged and were replaced with scenes from his imagination, and the 'He Jun' from a hundred years ago disappeared into the void.
There should be two people in He Jun.
One person was the host, everything that had occurred in the past belonged to him. He was proud and powerful. He does not know about affection and even thought that affection was something not worth having. Everything that exists in the world was like smoke to him.
The other person would be an alter who was born from the host's confusion. He was much younger, more straightforward and more incisive. He has his own understanding of other people's desires and emotions.
Ren Yifei looked at Qing Hong, his voice was slow, calm and tinged with a hint of mockery, "I was born from his doubts."
Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was still in a daze, Ren Yifei shot forward and twisted his body, pinning Qing Hong against the wall. With a smile on his face, he continued, "He doesn't want to meet you. That's why he let me come to look for you and get back the three drops of blood. Once the three drops of blood are retrieved, bridge to bridge and road to road. Both gratitude and grudges will disappear..."
"No! He can't think about that!" zNgPcC
Qing Hong's eyes were red and he once again emphasised, "He. Can't. Think. Like. That!"
This time, Ren Yifei stopped talking. He just silently looked at the other party as if he was looking at a clown.
"Let senior brother come out and see me."
Qing Hong really believed it, or more accurately, he had to believe it. Compared to the idea that his senior brother had died and was now possessed by a lonely ghost, it was easier to accept that his senior brother had a split personality. d3roWg
"He doesn't want to," Ren Yifei didn't move.
"If I kill you, will he be willing to come out and see me?"
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Qing Hong smiled very gently, so gently that it was a bit abnormal. In addition to his low voice, Ren Yifei seemed to be witnessing a beast slowly shedding its human skin and revealing its hideous face, "If senior brother won't come to me, then I'll go to him."
"Humf," Ren Yifei's neck was instantly locked by claws that were slowly tightening. He couldn't breathe and the lack of oxygen was making his whole body burn up. tBKJfF
"Even so, don't think about it..."
"Senior brother, come out and see me! Otherwise, I'll kill him."
An unprecedented sense of crisis struck.
This guy is really going to kill him. Even if this is his senior brother's body, he still chose to do it. This guy really is a lunatic. OTBaNH
Qing Hong's strength was too immense, it was useless no matter how much he struggled. Ren Yifei felt as though he was a dying fish being squeezed in the hands of a large naughty child.
He couldn't breathe nor could he resist this atrocity.
The light in front of him was dissipating and Ren Yifei's consciousness sank to the bottom of the dark abyss. Could it be that his game ended here?
"Do you want to release it?" A lean pale arm slid out from his back and over his chest like a snake. 'His' voice appeared beside his ear, "Are you okay with this failure?" TP aif
Fail?
No.
Not accepted! No one is allowed to beat me at my own game.
Ren Yifei opened his eyes. Wvwjer
The white-haired demon let out a low laugh, "You've sealed all of your extreme emotions? Obviously, the most extreme one is still out there... completely unable to tolerate the failure of a performance. Isn't that right, Pride? In that case, I can help you."
A sudden force came from behind him and pushed him from the sinking depths up to the surface.
He seemed to be able to see a white light.
"Who are you?" Ren Yifei asked in a low voice. He had sealed away six extreme emotions, which one of them was this? 3VhH 8
"Heh..." a low laugh vibrated in his eardrums and the white-haired demon slipped out like a fish. 'His' lips curved into a grin beside his ear, "I am 'Greed'. The human nature that is unaware of its sufficiency gave birth to me and to my power 'Phantom Play'. Now, my power and I all belong to you."
As 'Greed' returned to him, a part of the power that was once cut off slow returned.
Chrysanthemum Garden.
"Impudent!"
In reality, Ren Yifei opened his eyes. The depth of his eyes have a blood-red halo and began to dye a reddish-brown. A powerful aura overflowed from his body. The host of the banquet was horrified, he couldn't help but release Ren Yifei and take two steps back. Ad8BrQ
The red string around his wrist was originally six interwoven strands, but one broke silently and a long-lost power filled his body. The other five strands also want to follow suit but were suppressed by their master.
Along with the power, the emotion called 'Greed' also returned to the main body and Ren Yifei's eyes turned red.
The perfect enactment and a successful gaming career, I want both of them.
"Who gave you permission to do this?" s2ZN1y
Ren Yifei's voice was calm and slow. Although anger could not be detected in his voice, the corridor seemed to be filled with a sudden outburst of hostility, causing the flame in the oil lamps to dim.
Qing Hong's face became three shades paler. He was both shocked and suspicious, "Senior brother?"
"What," Ren Yifei narrowed his eyes as shadows shrouded the whole space, "Do you think you can do whatever you want here just because I'm a little injured?"
Qing Hong suddenly remembered the time when he trained with his senior brother. At that time, whenever he did something wrong, his senior brother would also act like this. e42O5a
"How come? Senior brother, I was just worried about you."
Qing Hong instantly cleared up his hideous expression and once again looked like an obedient junior brother who respected his senior brother. This two-faced person, he doesn't know how many times he had been let off easy.
Ren Yifei looked at him quietly. He was upset but his face was as calm as water.
The two of them faced each other silently. vQ5RkB
In the animal kingdom, when two males meet, they would first judge their opponent's strength and weakness through sight, smell, sound and so on. This was to determine where or not they should attack. Humans and demons were the same, they will only make a move once the other person exposes a weakness.
Ren Yifei's jet-black hair still fell gently over his body. However, his whole person no longer had the indifference he used to have; instead, it looked strong.
Qing Hong looked at him through the lens of a century back. He wanted to touch him but was afraid, this caused his momentum to become a little weaker.
After a long time, he asked tentatively, "Senior brother, my child will be born in a few days. Don't you want to meet them?" aQwtYH
Ren Yifei did not dare to relax for a moment. He internally said: What do your child and I have to do with each other, it's not mine anyway.
But looking at the man's expression, it seemed that there was something more that he was not aware of. Thinking again, it was not possible for him to leave since the task has not been completed yet.

Ren Yifei restrained his anger and looked at Qing Hong again in a slightly 'brotherly' manner.
As soon as he restrained himself, his aura also became weaker. Qing Hong felt relieved and thought to himself: 'Senior brother is still the same senior brother'. Holding back his urge to grin, he said, "I'm overjoyed that senior brother has come this time. Senior brother, do you still remember that we used to..." JMH6yr
"Why are you mentioning the past again?" The gentleness on Ren Yifei's face was only there for two or three seconds before it turned back into a snowy peak that had not thawed in a thousand years.
However, when Qing Hong looked at it, he felt that this was his senior brother. Everything in his eyes was red dust and old dreams.
"Okay, let's not mention it. Then what about the three drops of blood from senior brother's heart?" Qing Hong stared at him and spoke every word clearly, "Senior Brother doesn't care anymore?"
"Do you really think I'll always be mindful of old feelings?" iKtXnz
Ren Yifei's aura was harsh and sharp, causing Qing Hong to smile bitterly, "I know senior brother is angry with me, but I have my hardships. In six days, I will give senior brother an answer. I only ask that senior brother stays for a few days."
"What hardships do you have?" Is there anyone else who's able to threaten you?" It was Ren Yifei's turn to ask him.
"...You'll know in a few days, senior brother."
"This is the last time," Ren Yifei closed his mouth. His eyes lost focus as his face swayed gently for a while as if he was drunk. Bp7jXq
Qing Hong held his breath.
Ren Yifei blinked repeatedly, his eyes were in a special absent state as if there were two people talking in his mind.
The corridor was so quiet you can hear the sound of a heartbeat.
A few seconds later when he regained his senses again, the expression on He Jun's face was more vivid than before, "Crazy." sNBSJW
There were some subtle changes in his tone, his speech was faster and the pronunciation was clearer.
He wasn't sure before but they are really two different people. No matter how much they look alike, they are different.
"Humph," when his senior brother left, all of Qing Hong's careful flattery disappeared, "It's you again?"
Ren Yifei covered his neck and looked at him, letting the other see the mockery in his eyes, "I was able to be born thanks to you." 7JxBYI
There was no way to respond to that.
Qing Hong almost had a heart attack.

"When will my senior brother come back?"
"Come here." WgIOM7
Although Qing Hong was puzzled, he still took a step forward and in a split second, his neck was grabbed by taut fingers. The feeling of not being able to breathe made his face flush red.
With an emotionless expression on his face, Ren Yifei watched him suffocate and teeter on the edge of death.
"This is payback."
Just as he was about to be met with death's scythe, he was released and fresh air rushed into his body. Qing Hong touched the finger marks on his neck and gasped, "You?!" r2zkLo
"He's the one who's reluctant to attack you. But I'm different from him," Ren Yifei's voice was low, he was so close that you could smell the evil aura spilling out of him.
Qing Hong was stunned and stared at him blankly.
"I can't guarantee that I won't do anything if you approach me, even if I have to risk my life. Do you understand, junior brother?"
