"I know that the things I just said have a great impact on you, but you are insiders, and some things are too heavily affected by subjective will to see clearly."
"There is no need to rush to reply to me or refute me. You have enough time to think about the possibilities of what I said."
"Also, regarding the next order, I can go in with you."
After thinking about it for a while, the good words seemed to ease his emotions.
The words Ning Qiushui just said were like a rope beside the cliff, pulling him back alive.
"I will consider these things myself later."
"Let me tell you about the next order first..."
"Our next order is the seventh bloody door."
"For blood gates of this difficulty, there is usually no distress call posted, because almost no one comes to pick it up. After all, the mortality rate is too high..."
"So, when it comes to the seventh or even eighth blood gate, most of the posts posted are based on cooperation. The initiator of the post can summon more than three tricksters, but the maximum number of tricksters who can enter the blood gate cannot exceed 20. "
"Most of the people gathered in the post are capable and courageous people who are also going through the seventh gate. Everyone has only one purpose, to find ways to survive by relying on each other's luck and abilities."
"Of course, the Seventh Blood Gate usually uses some stupid copywriters to recruit some fools and novices."
"There are usually not too many people like this, about 3 to 5. The main purpose is to use their lives to test the rules of death..."
When Liangyan said this, his expression did not show any guilt.
It is impossible for a benevolent person to survive to the ninth blood gate.
Others do evil, but he is also a vested interest.
So he chose silence.
This is cruel silence and cunning silence.
As the good saying goes, he is neither a good person nor a bad person. He is a charlatan who makes two or three friends in his life and lives a happy and happy life.
"And no matter how many ghost weapons you have, you can only bring one when entering the seventh and subsequent blood gates."
"And the ghost weapon will only take effect once in the Blood Gate."
After saying these good words calmly, Ning Qiushui's expression changed slightly.
Just hearing such a sentence, he clearly felt the horror of the seventh bloody door!
Higher difficulty, lower fault tolerance rate.
No wonder the mortality rate becomes so high by the seventh blood gate!
"If you want to go, I can give you the tasks and tips for the seventh door right now."
Ning Qiushui lowered his head and thought. Bai Xiaoxiao and Meng Jun stood beside him without disturbing him.
This is Ning Qiushui's own decision. They have no right to interfere and do not want to influence him.
"Count me in, the world is so big, I want to see it."
After a long time, Ning Qiushui suddenly showed a smile.
"I think it would be better to die at the seventh door than at the fourth door."
His own blood gate has only reached the fourth one, and it will not come for many months.
Now that I have the opportunity to visit the Seventh Blood Gate, an ordinary person might want to run away and stay far away, but Ning Qiushui feels it is necessary to go and take a look.
He felt that the story of the seventh bloody door must be particularly interesting.
Even if you die in the seventh blood gate, you can still see the more spectacular scenery behind the blood gate.
Hearing what Ning Qiu Shui said, Liang Yan's eyes flickered, and he actually showed a smile that Ning Qiu Shui had never seen before.
"It's really interesting. You are really similar to Mang in some aspects... If you had come a few years earlier, you might have become very good friends with him."
Liang Yan seemed to be regretful, and he snapped his fingers. Meng Jun beside him immediately pulled out a document and handed it to Ning Qiushui.
"I have prepared detailed information for you."
"Watch it for yourself. If you have any questions, ask them now."
Ning Qiushui took the information and looked through it carefully.
In fact, there is not much recorded in this information.
A photo, some written records.
However, it was much more detailed than when Ning Qiushui received Fengyu's order.
…
[Task 1: Protect four target people from being killed as much as possible]
[Task 2: Survive for five days until the bus appears]
[Note: When the protected target is not dead, its ability is sealed. Every time someone dies, it will unlock part of the seal]
[Tip 1: Its hatred value will accumulate based on your behavior]
[Tip 2: It will not kill others until all the target characters are dead]
[Tip 3: After all target characters die, it will hunt according to the priority of hatred]
[Protection targets: Guan Guan (♀), Wang Zhen (♂), Lewen (♀), Ge Kai (♂)]
[Photos and details:——]
…
"Is this the mission of the seventh door?"
Ning Qiushui briefly read the above content and frowned.
At first glance, this task seemed not that difficult, and... a green safe passage was also opened for them.
As long as all the targets of the protection mission are not dead, the ghosts behind this door will not kill them!
Because of this, they can give it a go with confidence and boldness!
"Don't underestimate the danger of this mission."
Good advice has a very serious voice.
"Including my own blood gate, I passed through the seventh blood gate three times in total, and each time I narrowly escaped death. In two of them, if there were not particularly powerful people in the team leading me, I would have died. How many times do you know..."
"It's definitely not as dangerous as it seems."
"Anyone who underestimates the difficulty of this door will pay a heavy price!"
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Is this the only information?"
The good advice replied:
"Well, we only have this information at the moment. If you want to get more detailed information, you can only go to the Blood Gate and find out from the NPC."
Ning Qiushui returned all the information to Meng Jun, but the latter did not accept it.
"You can take it yourself. Yan and Xiaoxiao have backups."
After Ning Qiushui heard this, he put it away.
"Finally, I want to ask, why did you go to the ninth door in advance? Is it because you found the murderer?"
Facing Ning Qiushui's inquiry, Liangyan was silent for a while, as if he was considering whether to tell him about this matter.
"We found the new person who went in with Mang before and then mysteriously disappeared after coming out."
"This guy bumped into an acquaintance's car and wanted to go directly to the ninth door to have a look. I want to find him and ask him about the situation at that time."
Ning Qiushui was thoughtful.
Seeing his appearance, Liangyan sneered.
"You want to persuade me too?"
Ning Qiushui shook his head.
"Some things are not suitable to be said now."
"If we can survive on the third day of the month next month, I will tell you something."
"It's up to you to decide whether you want to enter the ninth door in advance."
Liangyan nodded.
"Very good."
Bai Xiaoxiao on the side raised her mobile phone and said with a smile:
"Then let's have dinner together tonight?"
"Maybe it's the last supper..."
Bai Xiaoxiao is not afraid of death.
The existence of the Blood Gate allowed her to find the true meaning of life. She has always cherished every day outside the misty world.
Sometimes, even Ning Qiushui feels that she is not as transparent as Bai Xiaoxiao.
The four of them had dinner together in the evening, and then Liangyan and Meng Jun took their leave.
Bai Xiaoxiao drank some wine and wanted Ning Qiushui to accompany her for a walk. When she came to an overpass, looking at the endless flow of vehicles below, Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes rarely showed confusion.
"Qiu Shui, what do you mean by the existence of the Blood Gate?"
"Let so many of us enter a strange world, let us struggle to survive in fear, but don't kill us directly..."
Ning Qiushui also stared at the vehicles under the overpass, her expression softening a lot.
"I'm also very surprised about this problem. When I received the letter at first, I always felt that someone was behind all this. But then I found out that I was not the only one who received the letter... The matter has gone far beyond Exceeded my expectations.”
"Big Beard's words were right at the time. I'm afraid there is no one in this world who has the ability to do this."
Bai Xiaoxiao raised his head and took another sip of beer.
She rarely drank this cheap wine.
After his eyes gradually became confused, his little face also turned a charming light red.
"Qiu Shui..."
"...If you go to the end of the misty world, can you really see your dead relatives?"
Bai Xiaoxiao's tone was a little sticky. She changed her usual mature look, like a little girl with her grown-ups. She was full of curiosity about everything and asked the grown-ups if she didn't understand anything.
In fact, Ning Qiushui didn't know the answer to this question, and Bai Xiaoxiao also knew that he didn't know the answer.
But she just wanted to talk.
After Gardenia died, she didn't even find anyone who could talk to her.
Although she also has a very good relationship with Liangyan and Meng Jun, that relationship is more like that of comrades-in-arms. You can always trust them with your back, but you can't express your feelings to them.
But even though she didn't know the answer, Ning Qiushui still answered her question.
"It might work."
"At least so far, the contents of that letter have not fooled me."
Bai Xiaoxiao laughed happily when she heard this.
His eyes were bent into crescents.
This was the first time Ning Qiushui had seen her smile so carelessly, but it had to be said that under the neon embellishment, Bai Xiaoxiao had an indescribable charm that was about to mature.
This is real and tangible beauty.
But Ning Qiushui just admired it quietly.
This wasn't the first time that he was attracted to a woman.
It's just that he has always cared more about his own life than women.
So Ning Qiushui never messed around with others outside.
He has enough money to live a romantic life, but he has become accustomed to admiring the beauty of the opposite sex from a safe distance here.
"Hey, what's that look in your eyes?"
Bai Xiaoxiao touched Ning Qiushui's face with some offense and wrinkled her nose.
"What do I look like?"
Ning Qiushui came to her senses and took half a step back unconsciously.
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled. When she laughed, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, showing some inexplicable shyness.
"The look in your eyes is like a tourist going to the zoo. He sees some dangerous animal and is curious but doesn't want to go forward for fear of an accident."
Ning Qiushui made no secret of it.
"right."
"That's it."
When Bai Xiaoxiao heard this, her smile froze, and she rolled her eyes at him:
"Why, will I eat you again?"
"That's not true. It's just a professional habit. You can't get too close to women."
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and muttered:
"What the hell kind of profession is this? You have to give up women. Could it be that you are a professional duck brother..."
Ning Qiushui was speechless.
"Hey, I heard it..."
Bai Xiaoxiao coughed in embarrassment, pursed her lips and said:
"Just kidding, Qiushui, what do you do?"
"veterinary."
"Veterinarian? Why do veterinarians abstain from women?"
Ning Qiushui was silent for a moment and explained:
"It's a bit complicated... If I have a chance, I'll tell you later."
He didn't explain it clearly, and Bai Xiaoxiao knew enough not to ask any more questions.
Everyone has their own secrets, even for those closest to them, there is no need to get to the bottom of it, not to mention they are just friends.
"To be honest... it would be great if I could really see my dead relatives at the end of the mist world. If I calculate carefully, there are quite a few people I want to see."
Bai Xiaoxiao held the wine bottle in one hand, and tugged on her slender fingers with the other hand, half drunk and half awake, and said seriously:
"...I am only 26 this year. Although I am considered an older young woman in terms of marriageable age, in terms of human life span, I am still very young. A girl as young as me should be held in the palm of my family's hands. At the age of pampering, one should not be so alone..."
"Why do I have to leave everyone around me so early?"
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Ning Qiushui and laughed, smiled, then curled up and cried.
"Did I break the rules of heaven?"
Ning Qiushui wiped the corners of her eyes, but was unable to comfort Bai Xiaoxiao.
Because he is worse than Bai Xiaoxiao.
He was an abandoned orphan.
When he was eleven years old, he met a fugitive agent and saved his life by chance.
That agent's code name is "Shroud."
He is also Ning Qiushui's master.
She brought Ning Qiushui into the industry and taught him various skills. However, she died of a cerebral hemorrhage in the first year when Ning Qiushui went to the chaotic border area.
That was the first time Ning Qiushui felt that human life was so fragile.
It turns out that it’s not necessarily knives and bullets that take away people’s lives.
It was from that moment that Ning Qiushui once again felt abandoned.
God played a joke on him.
He gave him the most precious gift and then took it away with his own hands.
When his master left, Ning Qiushui didn't even have time to say goodbye to her.
All the agreements, oaths, and promises he had made were cremated along with his master's body...
"Sorry, I haven't talked to my friends for a long time. I shouldn't have told you this."
Bai Xiaoxiao quickly calmed down his emotions and took a deep breath.
"Actually, it was when I heard Lu Yuan say this that day that I had an idea..."
"No one is sure that we can put together the pieces of the puzzle and reach the end of the foggy world."
"What's more, I'm not as powerful as Uncle Yan and Uncle Mang."
"How can I do something that they haven't even done?"
Ning Qiushui tapped Bai Xiaoxiao's wine bottle with her finger, bringing her back to reality from her pessimistic thoughts.
Then he laughed under Bai Xiaoxiao's slightly dull eyes:
"My master once told me that there are no roads in this world, because there are only roads after people leave."
"It just so happens that I also want to visit the end of the Mist World. Why don't we drop in together?"
Seeing the smile on Ning Qiushui's face, Bai Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, as if she had forgotten the depressing words she just said.
"good."
Although she didn't have much hope that she could survive the seventh blood gate, at this moment, she was indeed affected by what Ning Qiushui said.
Aren’t people just living for hope?
pS: I will open a new copy tomorrow, and I have been struggling with it all day.
This one contains more than 4,200 words, two combined into one, developed separately.
