Yun Xiao grabbed the arm of the person in front of him with his backhand. He was about to say something, but as the pain continued to spread from the bones, the words he was about to say instantly turned into a series of sobs.
Zhou Xiang looked at Yun Xiao's appearance and lifted him up.
"Huh? Didn't you go home? Why, didn't you find your brothers and sisters? Do you need me to help you look for them?"
"you……"
Yun Xiao was so painful that he broke out in cold sweat and couldn't even speak.
As she kept breathing heavily, her fingertips involuntarily dug into the other person's flesh.
Feeling the pain in his arm, Zhou Xiang had a calm look on his face. He looked at Yun Xiao who was breathing in pain in his arms, feeling slightly surprised.
This girl, who was very comfortable in front of him not long ago, was tortured by her brother in just a blink of an eye.
"We haven't entered the castle yet, so go look over there!"
"Go check out the black market too! Hurry!"
Not far away from the city gate, a large number of [Eleventh Street] trade union members had appeared.
But there was a carriage parked next to Zhou Xiang. He was holding Yun Xiao in his arms, and the two of them were directly blocked by the carriage.
Zhou Xiang crossed the carriage and looked up at the group of people. A familiar figure in the crowd was looking around.
It's Lu Beixi.
"If you want to find someone in my territory, you are really overestimating your capabilities."
Zhou Xiang snorted coldly, then picked up Yun Xiao with one hand and took her directly into the exquisite carriage beside him.
[Old Site of Royal Court] is different from other safe cities in that its streets are almost all pedestrian streets and cannot pass cars.
The carriage is the main means of transportation in [Old Royal Court Site], but this carriage is mostly used by NPC nobles, and almost no players will buy it. So when the carriage started driving on the road, no one looking for Yun Xiao paid attention to it.
"Sir, do you want to go to the Bounty Hunter Hall first?"
The driver turned his head and waited for instructions. Zhou Xiang did not answer. Instead, he raised his hand to summon the system panel to check his skills that had entered the remastering time.
[Time Reshaping]: You can arbitrarily change the time status of the specified thing for ten years before and after, only once in a single day, and the skill status can be automatically released after the status lasts for three days.
(Warning: Please use skills with caution. If you exceed the single-day usage limit, you will face a time crusade and be sealed in the cracks of time for ten years.)
It seems that it won't be used today.
Zhou Xiang lowered his eyes after closing the system panel.
When he left from [Eleventh Street] just now, he was stopped halfway by Yu Fei.
Facing Yu Fei's close-range sword attack with red eyes, Zhou Xiang narrowly grasped the opponent's wrist, and then subconsciously activated the skill [Time Reshaping].
Yu Fei's body was also quickly transported back to ten years ago before his eyes.
This was the first time he used a skill on someone else, and Zhou Xiang watched it very carefully.
Not only did Yu Fei's appearance change, but most importantly, his corresponding skills and levels were instantly cleared.
If it weren't for Yu Fei showing up halfway, he would have wanted to use his skills on Yun Xiao.
He really wanted to try. If Yun Xiao's time was reshaped by him, would his account be cleared like Yu Fei's?
Fortunately, things are going smoothly on my brother's side.
Even if you can’t use your skills today, there is still tomorrow.
Zhou Xiang looked at Yun Xiao, who was pale, with a dark and unclear light flashing in his eyes.
"Go back to the castle first."
"Yes, sir."
At this moment, the severe pain left Yun Xiao with no time to think about anything else.
Now she could only curl up in a ball in embarrassment and resigned herself to being held in Zhou Xiang's arms.
After all, she still underestimated the power of this [Bone Erosion].
At first it was just an occasional throbbing pain from a single nerve.
But as time goes by, the occasional throbbing pain will soon become like insects that spread over a large area, densely burrowing into the bones of the body and biting one's own bone marrow and nerves.
The pain will spread from the spine to the limbs, and when the pain reaches its peak, even the fingertips will tremble.
Song Zhi said that the poison lasted for an hour, but it had only been ten minutes now.
During these ten minutes, every second of pain made people want to die.
And then, this pain will be extended indefinitely.
In his confusion, Yun Xiao even subconsciously had the idea of killing himself, or just punching himself unconscious.
Maybe it would be better to faint, at least it wouldn't be so painful.
Before the last trace of reason collapsed, Yun Xiao suddenly saw Chai Xiaoqi outside the window.
Chai Xiaoqi? ! Did he come to find himself?
No, I can't faint. Cuicui is still waiting for me to save her.
Yun Xiao's biting lips were already bleeding with blood. Zhou Xiang looked at Yun Xiao huddled in his arms and raised his hand to wipe away the red lips. The other hand moved along her spine, as if comforting a pet.
Zhou Xiang looked at Yun Xiao with a gentle voice.
"If you had been obedient earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer, right?"
Yun Xiao gritted his teeth and suppressed the chattering of his teeth.
"You have gone to great lengths to catch me..."
Zhou Xiang's cold fingertips stroked Yun Xiao's neck:
"Yeah, there's no need to go to such trouble, but if it's you, that's a different matter."
"...Just because of...my account?"
Zhou Xiang's soothing fingertips didn't stop, but he talked about other things.
"Speaking of which, has Xiao Ning ever mentioned the person who built this world to you?"
Yun Xiao's face turned pale and she almost fainted, but Zhou Xiang turned a blind eye and continued to chat with her calmly.
After a long time, Yun Xiao finally uttered two words: "Zhou Yi..."
Zhou Xiang smiled slightly: "Yes, Zhou Yi, our mother."
He soothed Yun Xiao's trembling body with his hands, looking somewhere as if he was recalling something long ago.
"My mother is a very controlling person and has been very strict with me and Xiao Ning since childhood. She is not allowed to eat snacks every day, is not allowed to run around, is not allowed to read books that have nothing to do with study, and is not even allowed to make friends with ordinary people... Now think about it , it was a really miserable childhood.”
"It was only when I became an adult that I accidentally learned that Xiao Ning and I were sentenced to death at birth. Neither of us would live to be 30 years old."
"My mother, on the other hand, just tried her best to let us live a better and better life that she thought."
"..."
"And I never thought that she would create a [Garden of Eden] for the two of us. This is probably love, right?"
"But you and Fang Shuning regarded this place as a killing world and destroyed it with your own hands."
Zhou Xiang pinched the back of Yun Xiao's neck and shook his head.
"Even though my mother created the [Garden of Eden], she still maintained her desire for control. She said she created the world for Xiaoning and me, but she never asked us about our preferences. Her [Garden of Eden] is so beautiful, and A world that is too perfect will always make people feel false. You said, how can we live in a false world? Xiaoning and I are no longer children. Do we still have to spend every day in the Garden of Eden? Repeating conversations and nodding hello to those harmless NPCs? I said, that is not living..."
Zhou Xiang's eyes fell on the flow of people outside the carriage. He looked at the NPCs hawking business on the street, and then at the players who occasionally fought with the NPCs, with a smile on his lips.
Yun Xiao suddenly realized something and raised his head in disbelief.
"Could it be that you were responsible for your mother's death..."
Zhou Xiang did not answer, "Originally, I thought that I and Xiao Ning could rule the entire world with our account levels."
"Without [Garden of Eden], this [Doomsday] is indeed more to our liking."
"Xiao Ning found his own castle and established his own Black Cavalry. And I chose to be an idle sniper in Brother Lu's union."
"Without the trouble of illness, I can play dungeons unscrupulously and happily, watching those thrilling dungeon monsters bite people wantonly, and watching everyone struggle to survive in the game. This is simply a dream world, isn't it?"
"..."
"The laws of survival in this world are so cruel. Isn't it more exciting than building a house in the Garden of Eden?"
"It's just that I didn't expect that three months later, you would suddenly appear in Safe City. And by coincidence, Brother Lu defrauded you of your full-level identity."
Zhou Xiang's originally gentle expression turned cold, and then he grabbed Yun Xiao's hair, causing her to raise her head to eye level with him.
"I didn't expect that my mother would save something. This initial code setting really gave us a big surprise."
Zhou Xiang looked at Yun Xiao's pale face, his expression turned cold and then he smiled:
"But maybe this is God's will."
"After all, in every story, there must be a well-matched challenger to make the protagonist have more fun, right?"
Yun Xiao was covered in cold sweat, feeling that each of the two brothers was more crazy than the other.
