Chapter 8 Life is like a play

During supper, the atmosphere on the dining table was a bit depressing.

Lin Xiaoxiao was so angry that she didn't dare to breathe. She felt that because of her brother's silence, her father's patience was almost at its limit.

Lin Xiao just kept eating with his head down. The bowl was filled with shrimps that Lin's mother had picked up. He didn't retreat. He bit his head and threw it into his mouth and chewed it.

Originally, he didn't eat shrimp because of allergies, but Lin Xiao didn't want to refuse this feeling at this moment.

“What are you doing recently?”

Dad Lin finally couldn't help it. He didn't look at Lin Xiao, and spoke while holding the dishes, as if he was just asking casually.

"Oh, what are you doing! It's just that, the child is coming back for a rare trip. Can't you let him have a good meal?"

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Lin's mother responded first.

"Didn't I just ask? He's all in the hospital. Can't I care about it?"

"You know you're hospitalized, so you won't let him have a good meal. If you have anything to say after the meal."

After saying that, Lin's mother picked up a large piece of fish and put it in Lin Xiao's bowl.

"Come on, eat more and make up for it."

Lin Xiao knew where some of the bad habits of his predecessors came from. Although he did not agree with such spoiling, it would be fake to say that he would not envy him.

He wrapped the fish with a large mouthful of rice left in the bowl, ate it in one bite and chewed it for a few seconds before swallowing it.

Put down the bowl and put the chopsticks together in the middle.

"I have something to tell you."

He said slowly.

"I am not Lin Xiao as I was. Although I don't know why, when I woke up in the hospital yesterday, I found myself using my current body."

"I know this is a bit incredible, but it is true that the soul of a stranger occupies your son's body. This is not the original intention and cannot resist it. I'm sorry if there is any offense."

Lin Xiao lowered his head and said sincerely.

The expected shock and surprise were not seen on the faces of this family. When Lin Xiao raised her head, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back and laughed.

"What you want to say is that you have lost your memory again now. Can't remember what you did before?"

Dad Lin still looked calm and spoke in a deep voice.

Ma Lin just smiled helplessly.

So, Lin Xiao was shocked.

You really don’t care about your son’s life or death?

"Brother, this trick doesn't work." Xiao Xiao came over and said softly.

"Isn't that what you said last time to move out? I was so scared to death by my parents. After a few days, I ran back and said I had no money. I was just a joke before, brother, while my dad hadn't got a stick, hurry up and save money, ah?"

Lin Xiao suddenly felt that the mouth of rice might have been blocked in his throat and could not swallow it.

What a scumbag he is! Can you make up such a reason?

"Where do you want to go this time? Xichuan? Kunning? You're not going abroad, right?"

Dad Lin looked at his incompetent son and the food in his hand was no longer delicious.

He put down his bowls and chopsticks, crossed his hands in front of his chest.

"You said you are 21 years old, and you are 22 after your birthday, right? Can you do something steadily and let your parents see some hope?"

"Why did I go to the hospital yesterday? Tell me."

"Injured in the dungeon."

Lin Xiao didn't know how to defend herself, so she could only follow Lin's words.

"You are going to the dungeon again? Didn't you promised me and your mother that you would never go again?"

"Perhaps because he is an awakened person, he is unwilling to be mediocre."

Lin Xiao pondered his original thoughts and gave almost the same answer.

"Awakener? What's the use of an awakened person? You are just an e-level awakened person. Can you scare those monsters to death by showing your identity when you enter the dungeon?"

"Look, take a look."

Dad Lin took out a stack of bound thick paper from his pocket, which should have been cut from the newspaper, from two months ago to today.

He handed it to Lin Xiao, which was a list of people who died in the dungeon, and the Donglin Daily counted it every day.

"Look at the above, the awakened people who die in the dungeon every day, B and C, and even a level A are there. Which of them is not better than you? Why do you have to join in the fun?"

"Your mother and I have to look at this with fear every day, for fear that one day you will see your name on it."

"You are our only son. When you grow up, your parents are old and you can no longer protect you. Now it's time for you to give us a sense of security."

Dad Lin sighed deeply. This man who looked very stubborn showed fatigue and helplessness in his eyes.

Perhaps this worry has indeed tortured him for a long time.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt his hand being held.

He turned his head, and tears were already shining in Lin's eyes.

"Xiaoxiao, it's really not that my mother doesn't let you do what she wants to do, but it's really too dangerous to guide the dungeon. When I think of it, when I think of it, if there is one day... how can you let my mother live!"

"Mom really doesn't ask you to be successful, just be safe every day."

As he said that, tears fell from his eyes.

Then the hand on the right was also held. Lin Xiao turned his head and Xiao Xiao also looked at him with tears in his eyes.

"Brother, don't go, okay? I beg you."

Lin Xiao felt his throat choked.

Although he didn't want to use deception to make them feel at ease, he really couldn't stand this situation now, who had never had a similar experience.

"I...I know, there will be no next time."

Lin Xiao lowered his head and said something against his will.

"Then you can sign this?"

In a blink of an eye, my sister took out a piece of paper with words printed on it from nowhere, obviously prepared in advance.

Lin Xiao quickly scanned and turned out to be a relevant agreement on withdrawing from the Awakened Person's active service.

Generally speaking, the Awakeners who choose to retire will revoke their Awakening Certificate, sealed archive data, and no longer include them in the ranks of executable tasks.

On the one hand, this ensures the relevant privacy of retired people, and on the other hand, it also maintains their normal life after retirement. At least the original comrades could not bring them back to their old careers in a short period of time.

After all, you cannot participate in the dungeon strategy without awakening.

If you re-apply, it may take several months to go through a series of processes from acceptance to appraisal and approval.

Do you really need to sign?

He hesitated for a moment, but then he thought of something, so he happily signed the agreement.

When he raised his head, he saw Dad Lin giving Xiaoxiao a thumbs up, and Mom Lin also smiled happily. Apart from the little tears on her face, she could not tell the worry just now.

Xiao Xiao snatched the agreement from Lin Xiao, looked carefully, and ejected the paper with satisfaction.

The atmosphere... seems to be wrong.

Lin Xiao's hesitant eyes swept across the three of them. When passing Lin's father, he walked past him, and his eyes remained in the trash can in the corner of the living room.

It was a stack of newspapers stuffed into it, and there was a piece missing from the exposed corners.

It turns out that this was cut just now...

Lin Xiao looked at the list of deaths at hand and had some clarity.

He was not deceived and laughed out loud. He had never been fortunate to experience this feeling before.

Seeing that the three people in the room were happy, something softened.

It's strange, it was probably a stranger yesterday...

He quietly opened the game mall and found a small card in the column of basic props.

[Awakening Certificate], priced at 100dh coins.

Just before the strength reaches a slow period, the original identity is no longer useful. If a "player" who can continue to upgrade, how crazy should the awakened people in this world be?

Lin Xiao bought it silently. In order to cater to the preferences of players, the information can be filled in freely when used for the first time.

The name is called [Mu].

Sorry, I just want to protect this beauty. He thought silently.
