Chapter 594 [Human Nature, and Ominous Premonitions]
Bang!!
Xia Xiaolei punched hard, and almost flew out of the sandbag in front of him, under the action of inertia, when the sandbag flew back, Xia Xiaolei was ready, and after flying up and kicking out, he heard a muffled sound, and the sandbag was directly kicked out!
The sand grains flowed on the ground, Xia Xiaolei hugged the sandbag, and gasped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the training room of the base, Xia Xiaolei is covered with sweat all over his body, the originally weak mountain boy, after these days of training, and during this time, the daily torture in the training room, coupled with the transformation of some drugs in the system, the muscles on the body are already very obvious, and the streamlined muscle contours have looked very beautiful.
He gasped for breath for a moment, picked up a bottle of stamina drink from the base, and poured it down.
This is one of the few benefits that can be provided in the base at present, this physical strength supplement drink is produced by the base, it is much more powerful than those functional drinks in the outside world, and when you are tired, you can drink it, and the speed of physical recovery is faster than that of normal people.
After pouring a whole bottle of slightly sweet and sour physical drink in one go, Xia Xiaolei picked up a towel and wiped the sweat on his body.
At this time, the door to the training room opened.
Qi Muxi walked in, saw Xia Xiaolei at a glance, was stunned for a moment, and after the two looked at each other, Qi Muxi sighed, lowered his head and wanted to turn away.
“...... Please, wait. Xia Xiaolei suddenly stopped her.
"Huh?" Qimuxi smiled, "What's the matter?"
The smile on Hagi Xi's face can't be said to be fake, but it is the kind of standard polite and slightly defensive smile.
Xia Xiaolei walked over and stood in front of Qimuxi: "We...... It can't go on like this. ”
Qi Muxi's chest rose and fell, looked at Xia Xiaolei, and said with a forced smile: "I don't understand what you mean." ”
"In the Jerusalem copy, the two of us fell into a hallucination, and then that conflict happened. Xia Xiaolei's tone was a little difficult, but he still gritted his teeth and said these words.
Qi Muxi's face changed!
Subconsciously, she would have remembered the tragic conflict between the two of them in the dungeon, falling into the environment!
The most fatal consequence of that devilish illusion is not to create an illusion to deceive people - the worst effect is that in that illusion, the worst, darkest, and deepest hidden negative emotions and thoughts in everyone's heart are induced and exploded!
In that illusion, the two almost fought to the death, and teammates on one team almost killed each other.
The Jerusalem copy has now become a taboo word in the Meteorite Warband, and these days, it seems that everyone is trying to avoid mentioning the experience of that copy.
And it's not just because of Jojo's death in that dungeon and the sacrifice of his teammates.
What's more, in that dungeon, each of the team members who fell into the illusion was induced to have the deepest negative emotions buried in their hearts, and after they broke out, there were deep cracks and rifts between everyone.
The disastrous victory of that dungeon was the most tragic since the establishment of the Meteorite Sentai team, and it was also the most negative.
Xia Xiaolei and Qi Muxi, two young people, almost died together when they met each other in that copy, and more importantly, the two of them exposed the darkest and most negative emotions in their hearts.
Although the dungeon has ended, the rift that has been created cannot be eliminated.
More than two people, even the oldest tire in the team has become a little taciturn after the dungeon, and the two brothers originally had the best relationship, but after the dungeon, the discerning people saw that there was something strange between the two.
"We can't go on like this forever. Xia Xiaolei gritted his teeth and looked at Qi Muxi head-on: "We are a team. Before the Jerusalem dungeon, our team was very close-knit, everyone had absolute trust in their teammates, and when they fought, they were willing to give their backs to their teammates without reservation, and even were willing to block the opponent's sword...... The regiment commander said that our team is still very weak, but we have broken through strong enemies again and again and won dungeons, in addition to strength and luck, the most important point is that we are united enough. ”
The girl bit her lip and did not speak.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Xia Xiaolei's eyes, he suddenly took a step, bypassed Qimuxi, walked to the door of the training room, closed the door, and pressed the lock button.
“...... What are you doing?"
"Solve the problem, the two of us, right here. Xia Xiaolei shook his head: "I'm very stupid, but I also understand the truth." If we don't solve the problems between us, it's a hidden rift in the team...... So, right here, right today, right now, let's solve the problem between us!
Qi Muxi subconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes.
"It's just the two of us here, so what is there to say, buried in my heart, after the end of that dungeon, I am embarrassed to say it out of embarrassment - no matter how ugly it sounds, we will say it here! Say it all in one go, say it happily, and then, we will solve it!" Xia Xiaolei's tone was resolute and unquestionable.
Qi Muxi looked weak, and after a minute of silence, the girl raised her head and stared at Xia Xiaolei: "Okay! Since you say so, then let's do it." What do you want to hear me say?"
"Say whatever you want. All you can say in this room...... Let's solve it together, and after we get out of this room, we won't mention this matter again, and solve the problem completely!"
"Okay!" Qi Muxi, who had always been weak, actually flashed a trace of determination in his eyes at this moment.
She walked to the side, looked at the bottle of energy drink on the table, and didn't care that the bottle had been drunk by Xia Xiaolei for most of it, and she poured it into her mouth when she picked it up.
After drinking, the girl wiped her mouth vigorously, and then turned her head to look at Xia Xiaolei: "Then, I'll start first." ”
Xia Xiaolei nodded.
"I ...... In this team, it has been very depressing. Especially with you...... To be precise, especially when facing you!Xia Xiaolei!"
Xia Xiaolei didn't speak.
"In that illusion, the bad guy took on the form of my brother, and you killed him...... I'm emotional, but I don't hate you afterwards. I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid, I know right from wrong. You killed the bad guy who turned into my brother, and I don't hold a grudge against you. But, Xia Xiaolei, I ...... I still hate you. ”
"Why hate me. ”
Qi Muxi stared at Xia Xiaolei, she took a deep breath: "Okay, since you said it, just say it, who doesn't have a dark side in their hearts." Do you want to hear it, Xia Xiaolei, then I'll tell you, I hate you because...... Before I came to this team, you were the weakest, most useless, and most wasteful of the team!!"
Xia Xiaolei's body shook.
"Let's not talk about the head of the regiment, he is the backbone of our team and my savior, even if I have an opinion on anyone, I can only respect and be grateful to him. Brother Roddy is a strong man, and his mechanical ability is one of the team's pillar skills. The two eldest brothers of the tire spare tire are both veterans, with good strength and rich experience. I have nothing but respect for them. Not to mention Sister Qiaoqiao...... She is the head of the group's lover, and she is so beautiful, so good, and so powerful...... Even the youngest Xiuxiu has very powerful skills, and every time she fights, she will burst out with terrifying power. ”
Qi Muxi told sentence by sentence, and finally looked at Xia Xiaolei: "And you, Xia Xiaolei, you are not among them." ”
Xia Xiaolei snorted.
"They all say that your skills are a discount for system purchases. Well, but because of that, you're the target of everyone's protection every time you dungeon. Your positioning becomes a logistician. Support staff...... Your own strength, almost no combat skills, in the heat of battle, you can only fight soy sauce. I think...... Xia Xiaolei, you must be very grateful to me!"
"Huh?"
"You must be very grateful to me! Originally, you were the weakest laggard in the Meteorite team! But after I came to the team, your status changed all of a sudden. You're no longer the guy who dragged your feet! No matter how bad your strength is, but with my arrival, you're no longer the weakest one! And I, Qi Muxi, have replaced you and become the weakest waste of the Meteorite Clan!"
Xia Xiaolei was stunned.
He didn't expect that Qi Muxi, who had always been cowardly and silent, like a kitten, would actually say such sharp words!
And...... Some of these heart-wrenching words made Xia Xiaolei ask himself, but he couldn't refute it!
Because, perhaps, in my heart, I did have such thoughts to a greater or lesser extent.
"I'm very weak, not bold, and cowardly...... But that doesn't mean I'm an idiot, and I'm not an innocent and ignorant girl who knows everything!" Qi Muxi's eyes flashed with different colors: "I didn't have a home when I was very young, and my brother and I depended on each other for our lives, and we were in a mess! We traveled north and south, and we have seen too many things in this world! Although my brother has been trying his best to protect me, but ...... I've also seen many, many...... Evil, disgusting, sinful, dark things.
Xia Xiaolei, don't think of me as a blank sheet of paper that doesn't understand anything. I'm just cowardly, but that doesn't mean I don't understand anything. ”
Xia Xiaolei was stunned.
"I'm fifteen years old, and I knew that ten years ago, when I was five years old. My brother told me about ...... We are all very young and weak, and when we are bullied by others, we have no ability to resist -- not that we have not resisted. When you are in a mess on the streets, even if you go to pick up waste, you will be beaten away by others. My brother resisted and was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding. My brother learned a truth, he taught me: since you don't have the ability to resist and protect yourself, you should simply play the role of a weak person honestly. When others bully you, you can't beat others, so lower your head and give in, don't resist. Try to be soft, try to be a weakling. Maybe someone else is bullying and bullying, and they will let you go. So, I've been like this for the past 10 years! I'm very timid, I'm very cowardly, because I'm already weak!
Over the years, apart from my brother, who has helped me and protected me? When I encounter bad people, I have no way to resist, so I can only kneel down and kowtow and beg for mercy, and when I encounter villains, I have no way to protect myself, so I can only try to avoid and escape. You can laugh at me for being cowardly, but I have no home, no protection, and I'm so young, what else can I do?! What can I do!!What can I do!! you tell me, what can I do?!"
Xia Xiaolei pursed his lips.
"Aside from my brother, the one I am most grateful to is the head of the regiment. Qi Muxi's eyes were filled with tears: "My brother is dead, but the head of the regiment has protected me." No, it's not just protection. He took me in, brought me back here, introduced me to everyone, and joined the team. I have always felt that the greatest and most precious thing that the regimental commander gave me was not only protection, but also saved my life. What's more, he gave me something that no one has ever given me in these fifteen years except my brother, and that is ......"
Qi Muxi took a deep breath: "Dignity!"
After a pause, she continued: "It's never been like this, I'm in a team, I have companions, I have family, I have friends...... No one bullied me and saw me as a person, a dignified person. I don't have to kneel down and pray, I don't have to play a weakling, a poor beggar! The regimental commander taught me a lot of things, my brother with a spare tire taught me a lot of things, and Brother Roddy often made jokes about me, but I knew they had no ill intentions. They didn't look down on me, but really saw me as a companion...... Although they are weak companions, they never mind this. They will teach me to learn things seriously and teach me to be strong. But...... For the first time in my fifteen years, I felt a taste of dignity from someone other than my brother.
I finally felt like a human being, not a stray cat, or a stray dog, or a wretched creature who could be bullied casually.
Do you think I don't understand anything? Xia Xiaolei! I understand! I have even seen more than you, and I understand more than you! I have been wandering around with my brother since I was very young, and I have seen so many hateful bad people, you can't even think of it!
When I started growing up in the past two years, there were even more disgusting things! There will be some bad people who pretend to be nice to you, but in fact, they ...... But the greedy ones want to get my body, want to bully me, and do disgusting things.
Hmph, Xia Xiaolei, I can tell who is a good person, who is really good to me, and who really treats me as a human being. ”
"So, what do you think of me?" Xia Xiaolei asked angrily.
“...... You?" Qi Muxi sighed: "At the beginning, you seemed to behave like everyone else, but...... Soon I noticed that there was something strange about your attitude towards me. Although it seems like nothing on the surface, I always feel that you are quietly targeting me in many things. After I came, although you are no longer the weakest one on the team, at the same time, I think, you are probably no longer the little brother that everyone protects. And, sometimes, I can feel that you seem to look down on me. You think I'm a piece of crap, a dragger.
Well, this point, in the illusion, when the two of us clashed, when you grabbed me by the neck and almost strangled me, you said it very clearly, and I remember what you said at the time. You say, 'You're a piece of crap on the team,' yes, that's what you say. ”
Xia Xiaolei stopped talking.
In fact, what he said that day, he also remembers.
Well, what else did you say besides the phrase "you were originally a piece of waste in the team"?
Yes, I also said, "A guy like you is not qualified to stay on our team." ”
Well, that's what I said at the time!
"You've also said that you say, 'Guys like you, don't deserve to stay on our team. ', right, Xia Xiaolei?" Qi Muxi stared at the young man in front of him.
"Yes, I said that. Xia Xiaolei said in a low voice.
This sentence actually has two meanings. Qi Muxi smiled miserably: "You see, I said it, although I am timid, I actually know everything." When you say, 'You guy', you mean I'm weak, I'm a piece of waste, I'm a dragger. You look down on me in your bones. And you said 'our team'. Well, that's right, you think it's your team, but it's not my team. In your heart, you have never regarded me as a teammate, you have always regarded me as an outsider, an outsider, a weak, wasteful, useless...... Hug your thighs!"
Qi Muxi shed tears: "I am about to forget those undignified days in the past, I am about to forget those begging, begging, weak, cowardly, being bullied, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, living like a dog! I feel the dignity of being a person in this team! However, on that day, in that copy, your words brought the little dignity that I had just generated, and ...... Shredded!"
She didn't seem to have much anger, but there was a little sadness in her tone: "Maybe you feel that you are weak, a waste, and you are incompetent, can't you still say it?"
But, Xia Xiaolei, tell me, what else can I do?
I'm just weak! I'm only fifteen years old, and I haven't had a good day. Most of the people I met were bad people. For the past 10 years, I have been bullied. I don't have any ability, I don't have any ability. I'm scared when I fight, and that's because I've been bullied for ten years! I'm cowardly, and that's because no one has ever given me respect and dignity!
I'm weak, and that's because I'm not as lucky as you guys in this game world! I've got skills that are suitable for combat!!I'm just a teenage, helpless little girl.
Xia Xiaolei, do you look down on me?
Okay, then tell me, what else can I do? What can I do?
Am I going to die? Is it right that people like me have to die? Is it justice?
The weak don't have the right to live?!
If I had the skills of Brother Roddy, I would also like to contribute to the team!
If I had the strength of a regimental commander, I would also like to stand in front of everyone and shield everyone from the wind and rain when I fight!
But I don't! What can I do? You say I'm a shit, yes, I'm a shit!
But as a piece of waste, I should die? Find a corner where no one is around, and die and rot by myself, and don't get in the way of you?
Isn't that right?!"
When Qi Muxi said this, it seemed that all his courage had finally been exhausted, and then he squatted down, hugged his knees and cried bitterly.
Xia Xiaolei stood in front of her, and at the moment when Qimuxi squatted down, he seemed to stretch out his hand to help her, but his hand was halfway out, but he finally took it back.
After a while, Xia Xiaolei whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
This sorry voice did not ease Qi Muxi's mood.
Xia Xiaolei sighed, he grabbed the back of his hand hard, as if he had mustered up enough courage, and began to speak.
"I confess, I do look down on you...... No, to be precise, not to look down on, but to dislike it. The head of the group and Sister Qiaoqiao are the people I respect the most, and everyone in the team is my brother, my sister, and my sister...... Even Xiuxiu is better than me. I have never been jealous of them, only grateful. They took me from a mountain village teenager, protected me into this game world, and kept me alive. Actually, in my heart, I think the same thing about them as you do, only respect and gratitude. I'll admit, I was jealous of you when you first came. Because you are weaker than I am. It seems that you have suddenly become the most important existence for everyone. I...... It seems that the giant panda is no longer so protected by everyone in the team.
Today, I have mustered up the courage to work with you to resolve all these mustards, these rifts, and all these contradictions. ”
Qi Muxi raised his head and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand: "You say." ”
"I've hated you, I admit it. You said that I usually have some things that are quietly aimed at you...... I admit it too. I'm deliberately trying to target you and bully you in some small things...... However, I'm not a bad person, and I don't really want to bully you, and I don't really want to exclude you. Maybe...... There's some jealousy at work.
In the illusion of the dungeon, I said those nasty things. That copy exposes the darkest negative side of our hearts, and it seems to be magnified.
However, Qimuxi, there are still some beautiful emotions that are not shown in that copy. It only magnifies the negative and dark, but hides some of the other emotions in my heart. Now, I want to tell you. ”
"Do you want to ...... What the hell are you trying to say?"
"What I want to say is...... I'm jealous of you, some exclude you, and even occasionally I will deliberately bully you for some small things...... These things, these practices, I know are stupid, very, stupid. Xia Xiaolei stammered: "Actually, before I told you this today, I talked to Brother Luo Di, and he had already scolded me." He said, "I'm like a kid who hasn't grown up...... He said that when he was in kindergarten, he did the same things and actions as me, and often bullied a little girl...... It's just ......"
"Just what?"
Xia Xiaolei gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, looked open-minded, and said loudly: "Brother Luo Di said: A little kid like you doesn't understand anything, and when you meet a girl you like, you don't know how to express it, so you will subconsciously bully each other to attract the attention of girls." This is the standard performance of a little kid. ”
"............" Qi Muxi was stunned, and looked at Xia Xiaolei with wide eyes: "You, you, you, what are you talking about?"
"I say I say I like you. ”
......
"The two little ones are solving their problems, don't go in and disturb them. ”
In the hall of the base, Roddy looked at the tires as if they were about to enter the training room, and quickly stopped them.
The tire was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked at Roddy again: "Your idea?"
"It's going to have to be solved. You can't leave everything to Little Face alone. When fighting, because of our strength, we can't help with many things, but if we can solve the internal affairs of the team, let's try to help him solve them, and don't let him worry about these things anymore. ”
Roddy held two cans of beer in his hand and tossed one to the tire.
The tire took it, nodded, opened the beer and took a sip.
"So, what about you?" Roddy stared at the tires, "When will your heart knot be untied?"
The action of the tires froze.
"Well, I'm not a nosyman. Your problem shouldn't be big, I can feel it. Luo Di smiled faintly: "The problem is not very serious, probably because it involves your privacy in the past, and you are the oldest and most mature person among us, and the least worrying thing I am about is you, tire." And in contrast, the problems of the two little guys inside have to be solved...... Chen Xiaolian's matter, the root of Qiaoqiao's death. Now there is a glimmer of hope. The only, one person I'm most worried about is...... Xiuxiu!"
The tires frowned.
"Xiuxiu's blackening is getting more and more serious. When I first met this little girl, she wasn't like that at all. She switches back and forth between two personalities. But these days have come ...... It seems that the dark personality has been around for longer and longer, and the original innocent and cute little girl's personality has not appeared for a long time. ”
Luo Di frowned and said with a wry smile: "I always feel that there is some ominous premonition. ”
......
