Qianmo is still trudging in the darkness.
This is a world that is collapsing, a kingdom that is headed for destruction. All rules and common sense do not exist here. Even true saints avoid such a place, but they themselves have truly fallen. it's here.
It's really ironic if you think about it carefully.
Although Xing Xi gave a warning at the last moment, he still couldn't rest assured and wanted to rescue the other party at the critical moment. But looking back now, even if he ran away decisively, it might be difficult to escape from this death place.
Of course, if he really escapes, or even if he wavers a little, then Xingxi will really die.
Because he caught Xingxi at the last moment, even if they fell into this collapsing world, they were still very close, and he himself was not seriously injured, especially since Xingxi blocked almost everything for him The liquid burst out from the ancient god's core, so he could wake up as quickly as possible, find Xingxi and deal with her injuries.
God knows how badly this girl was injured, God knows how she could still be alive.
However, since Xingxi still has a breath left, then adding the blood of her Nihuang clan can really help her save her life. It is really a chain of cause and effect.
He was taking a huge risk by daring to show up next to Xing Xi. After all, the task of killing him was ranked incredibly high on Xing Xi's execution list. He really couldn't guarantee that the girl wouldn't kill him first. Let’s deal with the ancient god who is on the verge of death but is still enough to destroy everyone here. As Aoxuehua’s bodyguard, he has been lurking nearby from the very beginning of the battle, but his lurking skills are really good, even when he is furious The ancient gods have not found any trace of him. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that he did not join the spiritual link of the Lobel organization.
This terrifying and desperate battle turned upside down several times. Originally, after Ye Qing shot that arrow, he thought the victory was certain, but the tenacity of the ancient god still exceeded the limit of imagination.
Xingxi's punch gave him an indelible memory. Watching Xingxi slowly walk into the remains of the ancient god, he truly believed that this magical girl could create a miracle and kill the ancient god.
But Xingxi had squeezed all her potential out of her. When he was sure that Xingxi could no longer kill the ancient god by himself, he immediately understood that the only tool that could possibly kill the god was the Emperor Tian Ancient Sword in his hand. Otherwise, Once Xingxi fails, the entire Friendship Society at the end of summer will be wiped out. Even if he has never participated in the war, it will be difficult for him to leave alive and tell others what happened here.
So when he appeared there, he had truly realized that he was going to die.
But Xing Xi had already given him enough surprise by not killing him, so it was hard to describe in words how the girl used her body to block the deadly liquid for him.
He didn't know if he would do such a thing in this situation, because there was no time for any thinking and he could only rely on his deepest instinct.
He wasn't even sure if he would do this if Ao Xuehua was behind him, maybe not absolutely.
But it was also because of this that he preserved his most complete physical strength, and caught Xingxi at the moment she was swallowed, and was able to save her in the end.
But in this dark endless hell, even if Xing Xi is saved, everything has just begun.
As Xing Xi said calmly, her greatest value is to be eaten by Qian Mo as food. In this way, Qian Mo has a slight chance to escape from this world, instead of being buried with her in this world.
If it had been the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, maybe he would have already agreed.
Qian Mo might even think so, but even for that cruel and selfish guy, the probability of making this choice is probably between 50 and 50.
For Qian Mo, this is not an issue worth considering at all.
The probability that he agrees with Xing Xi’s proposal.
It's always zero.
He and Xing Xi both knew the Collapse world very well. In such a world, one should not ask for help from others. The only way to survive is to work hard to get out alive. In other words, only in this dark Collapse world can one find the way to get there. That is the only exit that can give you a chance to leave alive.
Relying on your own feet, step by step, in this world without any light, looking for an almost non-existent way out.
"I can't understand." Xing Xi said quietly on Qian Mo's back.
After Qian Mo rejected his proposal, Xing Xi fell into a long silence. In the silence, Qian Mo carried her forward slowly. Although there was no direction and no light, Qian Mo had a vague hunch that if If you go in this direction, you will definitely find the exit.
Qian Mo didn't know why, and at the same time, he vaguely didn't want to know why.
It wasn't until Xingxi took the initiative to talk to him that Qian Mo answered: "Why can't you understand?"
"Isn't survival the ultimate need of most people?" Xing Xi asked: "If I were you, I would definitely eat you. This will not only reduce the burden, but also provide sufficient food reserves."
"You can eat me now." Qian Mo replied calmly, not feeling at all that the issues they discussed with each other had exceeded the lower limit of morality: "I can't resist, with your means, even with such a weak body , it’s enough to kill me.”
"I have thought about it, but it makes no sense." Xingxi said: "My body cannot support walking for a long time. This cannot be solved by eating you. And I need your blood if I want to survive, but after your death, your blood It cannot be effectively preserved, so the efficiency of killing you is too low. Relatively speaking, eating me is a very efficient decision."
"So don't bring up this useless issue with me." Qian Mo smiled, his voice as light as the wind blowing through reeds: "I won't try this thing again."
Xingxi nodded, no longer trying to convince the other party.
"If you really feel that you are useless." Qian Mo then said: "I don't know how long I have been walking. Thanks to my body that has been cultivated for thousands of kalpas, I can't stop. Once I stop, I will stop again." I can’t even stand up.”
"So, can you tell me a story? I will use my energy to carry you with me, and please use up some of your energy to tell me some stories, so that I won't go crazy alone."
"I can't tell stories." Xing Xi refused decisively.
"Since you don't know how to tell stories, let's tell stories about yourself. No matter what it is, we are all going to die here. If we die alone like this, even my ghost will be very unwilling to do so. .”
"Loneliness?" Xingxi asked, "What is it?"
Qian Mo smiled: "It's what you've always been afraid of."
"You are always alone, always afraid of meeting new people, always afraid of being ordered to kill new people you meet."
"This feeling of fear is an emotion of loneliness."
Xing Xi didn't speak, and Qian Mo didn't explain any more. He just smiled.
"Witch, do you know? Although I have listened to your brother's explanation, I still really want to know what kind of experience can make you become what you are today. There is no dark star here, and there is no star. Rail Elder Council, not to mention the Star Lord, they will not come to this ghost place to order you what to do, so since you were born, there has never been a moment more free than now."
"So, in order to satisfy my little curiosity and to make myself useful, I hope to hear your little stories. I hope I can hear them until my death."
The white cat narrowed his eyes and smiled.
It really has the gift of smiling, so much so that it looks like it is smiling when it is not smiling, not to mention that it is actually smiling at this time.
When Ye Qing put away the Eternal Heaven Formation and the Golden Scale, showing his sincerity that he did not want to continue fighting, the white cat turned his head and looked at the all-powerful saint, and his words were horrifying.
"Princess, don't kill them yet."
This sentence was clearly passed to everyone's ears, but no one moved.
After all, this is completely meaningless.
With the help of Christie, the Friends of the Late Summer at full strength had to pay such a high price and sacrifice to seize a miracle from the impossibility of facing a crippled ancient god. If they were to face a real saint, or It is said that he is almost recognized as the most powerful saint, so resistance seems even more unnecessary.
However, Xiao didn't move. She showed a helpless expression: "Jie Ying, I didn't mean to kill them in the first place, did I?"
The white cat nodded heavily, and then looked at everyone in the Late Summer Friends Club: "How about it? My princess can't speak so much."
"In that case, please let me introduce myself again. The origin of everything starts from my true identity."
The white cat walked lightly on the stone ground as white as snow, leaving behind shallow plum blossom scratches: "The me you know is the pet of Her Highness the Ninth Princess, entrusted by Xiao to take care of this entangled person. protector."
"Although I did very little, the sight itself was the most important thing."
"Before this, I was Xiao's contracted monster, which was a fact known to more people. In their eyes, I was an ancient monster that knew everything, and was probably the only remaining god-level monster in this world."
"But is this the real me?" The white cat wolf looked back and smiled.
"I started to pay attention to this fate soon after the princess came to this world, and watched fate send her to me, and then walked together in the eyes of the world. Before that, I was at the edge of this lake. Nearby, but there is no one who wants to call me the Lord of the Lake yet."
"So, you are the original Lord of the Lake?" Ye Qing asked: "The first Overlord of Warcraft in this forest?"
"On the one hand, yes, but more often than not," Jie Ying corrected carefully: "I was born before the first seeds of this forest sprouted, and also after this earth cooled and solidified from the chaotic and scorching ancient times."
"I am the last spirit of my Lord, the only thing that was reborn after giving up his long-cherished wish for resurrection, so I spent the longer and endless years after my Lord's death in such a weak posture."
"So you are the most powerful ancient god from ancient times?" Ge Shengchi asked: "Or are you the product of the golden cicada's shelling?"
"Unfortunately, none of them." Jie Ying shook her head quietly: "If it were not a real and complete death, how could my lord's powerful enemies give up? My life was directly born from the essence of my lord, but other than that In addition, my lord did not leave any unnecessary traces. Although most of the ancient gods of that era were not more brilliant than the Mosaya you just saw, but were far more powerful, my lord slowly learned Thinking. Although compared to all things today, even though my Lord is so powerful, his thinking itself is as funny and ridiculous as a child's gibbering."
"But this is the first rationality known to the world, right?" Unexpectedly, the person who spoke was Shi Li, this ghost girl who disappeared without a trace every time she appeared. At this time, her figure was still exuding... Fluorescent and translucent.
"Yes, the Heavenly Bell is a disaster." Jie Ying replied with emotion.
"Today, I can no longer be called by that name." Shi Li retorted lightly.
"No, no, no." Xiao opened his mouth to deny: "The reason why I call you the evil bone of Tianzhong is not out of any malice."
The saint paused for a moment and seemed to be preparing his words, which made Ye Qing more convinced that the saint was not very good at talking: "Rodriguez was my good friend, yes, a very close friend, and to this day I am still willing to give him this evaluation. He is not the twisted remnant soul you have encountered with almost crazy obsession, but a very gentle gentleman, so much so that I can still live in this state in this form. The world is one of the fruits of our cooperation.”
When Xiao took the initiative to speak, many people present were instantly ignited with the spirit of gossip. You must know that the love and murder between Xiao and Rodriguez, the predecessor and the current strongest person in the world, has always been the focus of research by historians. The problem, however, is that because Rodriguez is dead and Xiao You has become a saint, it is difficult to verify it in person. The consequence of the lack of first-hand materials is that this period of history basically comes from the imagination of historians. The general view is that Xiao Shao is not a good thing, Luo Rodriguez cleverly lured Xiao to his side, but the plot was eventually exposed. Rodriguez stopped Xiao during his escape and a battle broke out. Rodriguez died in the battle, thus opening the curtain of the Saint Era.
And for a client like Xiao to personally admit that Rodriguez is a very "close" friend of his, a gentle gentleman, etc., it is simply a subversive disclosure.
Seeing everyone so excited, Xiao actually couldn't stand it. Every time they met before, Xiao always appeared as a contemporary saint. If it was a public occasion, he would have a higher status than the current emperor. Everyone They all saluted, but this time Xiao was basically threatened by Ye Qing, and the situation at this time was basically that of being questioned.
As a result, Xiao couldn't understand why the topic turned to her own love history.
But Xiao finally gave the answer.
"In the world of that era, the only human being who was more knowledgeable and wiser than him was Saint Yue Yi. We had a very pleasant cooperation, but in the end the conflict still grew to the point where we had to break up and fight. You should know that the ideals Conflict is the most irreparable rift between friends, and we happen to have a conflict about the definition of life, even though we worked together to create an elixir that can make our faces never age..."
When Xiao said this, the girls went crazy, and Lan Che squeezed to the front: "Is the longevity medicine you are talking about the one your great-niece Xiang takes?"
Although it is regrettable that Xiang has always retained the mind of a twelve-year-old, the effect of never aging is seen by everyone, and most of the girls present are at an age where they most hope to be young and immortal. , and there is absolutely no anxiety like Xiang’s about not growing up.
Xiao nodded: "Yes, but this medicine has serious side effects and cannot be improved."
"What are the side effects?" Lan Che asked impatiently.
Xiao looked at the young brown-haired girl a little sadly: "Since this longevity medicine draws on a lot of experience in undead magic, in fact, it is a medicine for making living corpses, even if youth is fundamentally different from living corpses. There is no difference between corpses, but after taking the elixir of immortality, it means that you will be separated from the living from now on, and you will no longer be able to give birth to new life."
"In other words, after taking the longevity medicine, you can continue to eat and sleep, and you can also practice and grow. Your body will never change, and your appearance will never age." Ye Qing finally asked: "It's just that you will lose the ability to have children forever, or in other words, Will you lose some of your emotions?”
"Then I want to know." Ye Qing looked at the saint: "Did you take the medicine voluntarily?"
In the darkness, Xingxi slowly bit her lip.
"Okay," she said, "but you have to take off the mask."
Qian Mo was dumbfounded: "Is it necessary? It's not like you don't know who I am anyway?"
Xingxi did not respond, but simply repeated: "Is it okay?"
Facing such a girl, any excuse seemed a bit feeble. Qian Mo smiled bitterly, lowered his head and took off the mask on his face.
The world is so dark, without a trace of light or wind.
If the two of them weren't together, they might have gone crazy in this world.
Of course, in such a dark world, it makes no difference whether you take off your mask or not.
But Qian Mo then felt a hand quietly touching his forehead.
Xingxi used her left hand. Her right hand was still a ball of soft flesh mixed with broken bones. Under normal conditions, Qian Mo would even consider amputation directly, but that was not possible now. Just stopping the bleeding was too much for the two of them. Things to deal with.
Xingxi's fingers were very cold.
It seems that most of the girl's fingers are very cold, with a jade-like crystal texture. This reminds Qian Mo of Ao Xuehua's fingers. The president's fingers are much slender, and are a pair of hands that are very suitable for holding a sword, but they are different from Xing Xing's. Compared with Xi, Ao Xuehua's fingers are not as cold or hard.
Yes, Xingxi's hands don't look like human hands. Although they are as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade, they are not soft and soft at all. They are hard and cold, as if they are moving marbles. This marble-like She slowly brushed her hand downwards from his forehead, without a hint of joking or unnecessary emotion, so there was no pause or speed, just a simple brush from top to bottom from his forehead to his chin, and his fingertips traced across it. The eyelashes crossed the tip of the nose, then across the lips, and finally across the soft down on the chin.
"Okay, I remember your appearance." Xingxi nodded and said.
Qian Mo couldn't help but wonder if he could remember the girl's appearance if he brushed her face like this, but he was not Xingxi after all, so he couldn't generalize, so he smiled: "You don't believe your eyes so much? Listen to the story The people are all ears, and the storyteller needs to tell a better story."
"I only talk about my own affairs. Whether it goes well or not is beyond my control."
Xingxi said.
"I am Xingxi, Xingche's star, Xiguang's Xi."
"In other words, I am a person without my own name."
"You should know that Christy Croft, Alaya Consciousness, is a semi-sacred being who has known the world since birth. The first time she met me, she told me that we are the same kind."
"I didn't say anything, but I knew she saw through me in an instant."
"Yes, we are the same kind, and my memory continues from the moment I was born."
"Like her, I am also a person who should not have been born into the world. I was born with sin, just like my birth was at the cost of the death of my parents."
"It's just that unlike her, I don't understand the world well enough, and I have never thought about hiding myself. More importantly, my talent lies not in thinking, but in fighting."
"With the blood of the Hidden Clan, one can become a genius that is noticed by the world. What does it mean for me to have two at the same time but not die? It's just that I didn't understand anything at the beginning."
"So much so that I, who participated in that plan on behalf of Brother Xiche, didn't know that I knew it was a bad plan, and couldn't imagine how bad a plan it was."
“That’s what you’re calling it years later.”
"Weapons plan."
"And I am the only successful weapon in the weapons plan."
"But what exactly is a weapons plan? In your opinion, it is just a series of cruel trainings, killing and being killed, obedience and disobedience."
"In fact, it represents a life."
"A life of obedience."
"In the first two years after arriving, most of the children were still ignorant, crying and making noises. I stood there quietly, thinking that this was enough."
"The teacher only said two words, quiet."
"How many three-year-old children are there in the world who fall silent after just hearing two words? Not to mention these children who used to belong to the royal family."
"The answer actually is no."
"At this time, the teacher threw a dagger from the high rooftop and told us to kill everyone who cried."
"Who will kill us? Of course we didn't cry."
"If it were me now, I would be the only one left in the room the second I breathed."
"But at that time, I wasn't me."
"So when no one took action, someone fired the first arrow into the room."
"A very thin arrow with almost no power but a curse attached to it."
"The child who cried the loudest laughed happily after being hit by the arrow. Then he hugged his hands and started chewing happily. One bite at a time, he bit open the skin, gnawed the muscles and fat, and licked the exposed bones. Grease, finally bite the bones and swallow it into your throat, just like that, happily and contentedly, eat yourself bit by bit."
"All the children were petrified at that moment. Yes, most three-year-old children are confused, but after you let them see what real fear is, they will still do everything you teach them. .”
"Right before our eyes, he ate his hands and feet and everything he could reach, and his belly swelled into a big ball and died."
“The first time I was shocked by such cruel methods that were completely out of my own world, I didn’t understand that this was just the beginning, not the beginning of this period of life, but the beginning of the first lesson they taught me. "
"The instructor was very satisfied with such a silent room. He spoke up and said that this was the first lesson he taught us. Orders must be executed. Thinking is about completing orders, not judging and executing them."
"Then he looked at me and the few companions who were very quiet from the beginning, and said, do you remember? You didn't carry out the order. Originally, you could have survived, as long as you killed everyone else here, but It’s not the same now.”
"Only those who kill everyone can get out alive, otherwise they have no choice but to die. By the way, the way of death just now is still relatively mild. If you want to try it, you can combine all the ways of death. Experience it once.”
"It's just that no one took action at that time. After all, watching others die and killing people with your own hands are not exactly the same thing."
"It's just that this time it was faster than last time. The second small arrow was shot out quickly. This time it was shot at the girl closest to me. She quickly lost her mind and gained dozens of times more power than before. , began to attack the companions around her crazily. She was so powerful that she could easily tear off other people's limbs. You must know that among defenseless children, there is no more terrifying weapon than this."
"Yes." Qian Mo suddenly interrupted quietly: "There is also a dagger, right."
Xing Xi nodded: "Yes, there is also a dagger that was thrown inside in advance. When humans are forced into a desperate situation, incredible potential will always burst out. Someone used this dagger to sneak attack the girl and successfully pierced her. Her lungs."
"That is to say, someone finally took the initiative to kill someone."
"This seemed to open the most terrifying box. Although the attacker was flattened in the chest by the girl's counterattack before she died, the dagger was still there. Everyone began to scramble for the dagger crazily because they didn't know what the next one would be. You don’t know when the arrow will come, and you don’t know when the person who will be killed will be you.”
"But all this seems to have nothing to do with you?" Qian Mo asked again.
"Yes, my talent is fighting. There is no one stronger than me here. In other words, I am much more powerful than the most powerful among them. I have been standing there, looking at each other. Fighting, obviously only one person can survive at most, but they fought so cruelly for that impossible opportunity, I don't know why I actually laughed."
"Yeah, I still laugh at that time."
"I originally thought there would be an arrow flying towards me, and I wasn't sure if I could block the small arrow. But then I heard the instructor above calling my name and asking me if I knew I was not allowed. Archery."
"I said I didn't know."
"He continued to ask me, then he is really not afraid of death? Especially being killed by those cruel and painful methods."
"I just asked him, is there any difference between killing and being killed?"
"At this moment, they finally decided on the final winner. The instructor looked at us and said let him prove the difference, and then asked him to kill me."
"He couldn't kill me, and I didn't want to kill him. When the battle reached a stalemate, the instructor himself fell down from the high platform, stood among the corpses of children in the room, reached out and slapped the boy with the knife to death. , I don’t know him, and I don’t know his name, but I know that everyone who came here with me is dead, and I am the only one left alive.”
"Since you are not willing to kill him, why are you not willing to be killed by him to keep him alive?"
"Teacher, ask me."
