Eternal Day

Xiao Xie was a very honest person.

He told Nan Zhou that Nan Zhou was actually a fictional character in a comic book called Eternal Day.

Just two days ago, a game called Forces of Temptation was officially released.

The author of Eternal Day, Nan Zhou’s true father, had completed his debut work ‘Eternal Day’ in two years. Since then, the talented horror cartoonist occupied his place in the world until he died of cancer 12 years ago.

Due to his withdrawn personality and indifferent relationship with his relatives and friends, he handed over the copyrights of all 13 of his comic books, including his debut Eternal Day, to one of his most trusted editors.

This portion of his assets was divided and the eccentric man didn’t announce the specific disposal method.

Therefore, Eternal Day was included in the adaptation part of Forces of Temptation as early as three years ago.

Now Nan Zhou was a character in the game instance.

Xiao Xie said he had read Eternal Day before and liked it very much.

So after his newly bought game cabin arrived, he chose to enter Eternal Day first to see the young man he had one-sidedly known and was a dimension apart from him.

Nan Zhou nodded in response to Xiao Xie’s eloquent remarks.

He couldn’t feel the cruelty and maliciousness behind Xiao Xie’s purpose of telling him the truth.

If a normal person was told that it didn’t matter how hard they worked, their destiny was always in the hands of others and their future years would always be controlled, their first reaction would be to collapse and go crazy.

However, Nan Zhou didn’t really care.

He had already guessed it a long time ago.

Nan Zhou sketched the lip shape of Ms Apple Tree on the paper, making fine lines on her lips so they were more gorgeous, and responded symbolically. “...Um.”

Xiao Xie noticed Nan Zhou’s expression and his eyes lit up. “Aren’t you surprised? How much did you guess?”

Nan Zhou glanced at Xiao Xie. “About what?”

If it was about his identity, this was a matter he had been thinking about since primary school.

He once thought he was a character in a book.

A comic was similar to his speculation.

As for the game instance...

Nan Zhou’s understanding of the concept of games was limited to the few game magazines in the bookstore that were a decade old.

In Nan Zhou’s cognition, a game was a story locked in a box.

It wasn’t much different from how he felt about books.

It was just that he hadn’t been pulled by the puppet strings for a long time, suggesting that the box was very open and the control over him wasn’t as strong as imagined.

In the future, more new people would come in.

If someone could come in then he could get out.

Therefore, he didn’t understand why Xiao Xie kept looking at his eyes.

It seemed that his bland emotions and reaction didn’t meet Xiao Xie’s psychological expectations.

Xiao Xie stared intently at his eyes. “Have you ever spoken to someone like me?”

Nan Zhou thought carefully.

He failed to speak to Ms Apple Tree.

Thus, he shook his head.

Xiao Xie’s shoulders collapsed slightly and he looked disappointed. “Why aren’t you surprised?”

There was no madness, no collapse, no pain.

It was boring.

Nan Zhou’s surprise was over as early as yesterday.

He wasn’t used to large ups and downs in emotions so he looked at Xiao Xie with confusion. “What exactly do you want to ask?”

Xiao Xie’s expression improved. “I’ll be your friend from now on, okay?”

“Why?”

Xiao Xie, “......”

He wondered, “Aren’t you lonely?”

Nan Zhou put down his pen. “I’m lonely. Still, why should I be friends with you?”

Nan Zhou spoke what was in his heart but Xiao Xie seemed choked up.

In order to avoid self-inflicted humiliation, Xiao Xie changed the subject. “Do you feel that your world is different?”

Nan Zhou thought about it. He didn’t feel that his days were any different from the past.

The sun was still scorching.
