In the south of the Central Plains, there are Tianshan Mountains. Tianshan may not be the highest mountain in the Central Plains, but it is definitely the most dangerous mountain, the Ethereal Palace is built on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, high into the clouds, snow-capped, ice fence jade, just like the fairy palace, ordinary people are not allowed to approach.

There is no way to go from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, the cliff is as steep as a mirror, if the only way to pass is the waterfall hanging down from the Xiyi Pond at the top of the mountain, if it is cold at midnight, the waterfall condenses into ice, and those with deep internal strength can take advantage of it. And if the ethereal palace gate people want to travel is much more convenient, the ethereal palace raises a lot of birds, such as cranes, if you blow a special bamboo flute at the foot of the mountain, the birds will fly down, carry everyone up the mountain.

Outsiders have many rumors about the Ethereal Palace, but no one knows that the place where the real Ethereal Palace is located is not cold, but in the desperate spring, the realm of paradise.

"Tianshan used to be a volcano, although it seems to have fallen silent, but there are many hot springs on the mountain, the climate is warmer than the mountainside, except that the air is a little thinner, it is indeed a paradise," Su Yi stood on the floor paved with green bricks in the courtyard, and stretched out his hand to twist a peach blossom, "The peach blossoms here are undefeated all year round, but the strange thing is that only the peach blossoms bloom best here." ”

The so-called ethereal palace is actually not as rumored by the outside world as carved railings and jade bricks, but there are small courtyards of high and low scattered on the flat ground, white walls and green tiles and cornices, bamboo hedges and wooden stakes and peach blossoms.

"There is a record in the codex left by the master, it is said that there were immortals here in the past, the predecessor of the immortal was a peach blossom essence, after becoming an immortal, she wanted to be reborn and wash away the mortal dust, but she was reluctant to her original body, so she found a secluded and uninhabited mountaintop, left the original body, and entrusted the dream to the ancestors of the Ethereal Palace, so that they came here to take care of the peach blossoms, and for this reason, they also specially passed on the immortal method of their cultivation to the ancestor after refining it. Later, the peach blossom took root here, and gradually, a peach blossom forest bloomed. And the ancestor also stayed here, and later there was our Ethereal Palace. It is not false that the mental method practiced by the people of the Ethereal Palace can live a long life, and I think that this story recorded in the Master's Codex should also be true. ”

Yang Yu sat quietly on the stone bench in the center of the courtyard, watching Su Yi standing with his back to him, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the peach petals fell all over his shoulders, like a boundless snow. And he stood there like this, thin and thin, dressed in green clothes and plain shoes, with a headband and clothes flying together, and his back was so lonely that it seemed that he could ride the wind in the next moment.

Every time I saw him, it seemed a little different.

It seems that those former edges and corners are disappearing little by little as his memories fade, and it seems that the less he remembers, the less he cares, and the more open and peaceful his thoughts become.

Every time I see him, I feel that he is more faint and quiet, his emotions fade a little, but the blankness between his eyebrows deepens a little. He seems to have begun to lose his connection to the world, no matter how many people are standing next to him, he always seems to be alone, no one can reach him, even if he is falling into the abyss, no one can catch him. Alone, lonely.

His heart suddenly throbbed uncontrollably, thinking that if this continued, if one day, Su Yi really forgot him; If one day, Su Yi really can't think of anything; He had forgotten everything he had before, and he might just disappear into the gap of time and space, with a blank slate, leaving nothing behind.

So where to find him.

"Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you." Yang Yu got up slowly, irrepressibly raised his feet and walked behind him, the sun slanted down from the front, and their shadows slowly overlapped behind them, snuggling tightly, so close that they seemed to never be separated again, "After that, you may hate me, and you may still love me, but please promise me one thing whether you hate me or love me." He whispered, feeling that the voice did not sound like he had come from, how could the cold and indifferent killer in the past say such gentle words in such a soft voice.

Su Yi looked down at the falling flowers in his palm, and saw that his fingertips trembled slightly: "...... You said. ”

"We are all people of the twenty-first century, I used to be a killer, and you are the only son of the Su family. We died on the same night, that was the last task I did, the employer was the Fang family, and the object was you. I'll kill you...... Standing in front of you at that time, there was a moment of hesitation, because you made me think of my junior brother, and it was this moment of hesitation that made me killed by the enemy, but I finally killed you before I died. ”

"Maybe it's because we died at the same time, and our souls were captured at the same time, and we were all bound to the intelligent systems developed by the planet M-871. I originally refused to complete the task, because I felt bored, although my life was not long, but I felt that I had lived enough, but the system threatened me with my junior brother's sister, who was the last relative left by my junior brother in this world...... At that time, I was most sorry for my junior brother, and I only felt a little guilty when I thought of him, and I felt that I was still a human ...... So in desperation, I agreed to the system, and then I met you......"

"We've met in four worlds in total, we've met five times, this is the sixth time, the goal of each of my missions is you, I've killed you four times in total, there's really nothing to say about these things, but if you want to listen, I'll tell you slowly."

"I want to listen," Su Yi slowly turned around and stared at him quietly, their distance was neither close nor far, obviously it seemed that he could hug as soon as he stretched out his hand, but he felt that he couldn't see the love in the other party's eyes, it was too complicated, "These are all things I should know, of course I have to listen." You don't want to save trouble and just say it simply, I want to listen to it in more detail, bit by bit, and you tell me everything related to you and me. ”

“…… Good. ”

"But before that, I want to ask, what do you want me to promise you after hearing everything?"

Yang Yu looked at him deeply, and said calmly and lightly: "I want you to kill me, or send me away, stay away from me, and never meet in this world." ”

Su Yi took a deep breath: "Why? ”

Yang Yu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly slowly hooked the corners of his lips, but there was indescribable bitterness and indescribable bitterness in his smile: "You can be better without me, otherwise maybe I will kill you again because I have to complete the task." ”

Night. Su Yi didn't know when he had left, and Yang Yu stood alone in the courtyard, quietly watching the moonlight fall on the peach trees. The moon in the Tianshan Mountains was exceptionally large and bright, but he didn't have the heart to appreciate it, and his mind echoed all the words that Su Yi said to him before leaving-

"Yang Yu, have you ever wondered why we meet in every world? There are so many parallel time and space, why is it so coincidental that we happen to be the same every time, and why is it so coincidental that the target of each of your missions is me? ”

I've thought about it, of course I've thought about it, why haven't I thought about it?

Since he saw Su Yi in the second world, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and it was too incredible that there were too many coincidences. It's just that at that time, he was full of just completing the task, and he was indifferent to the safety of the other people involved in the game, and then things happened too much, and he never had time to think about it carefully. But now it was suddenly brought up again by Su Yi.

Only then did I realize that all the qiē seemed to indicate a not so good outcome.

If...... If they are really in a large game now, two systems, two hosts, and all parallel time and space are all pawns in this game, they seem to have been controlled by a pair of invisible hands and cannot escape.

So what exactly does the owner of these hands want?

The night wind seemed to be getting colder.

In the distance, a black cat squatted on the wall, its green eyes staring silently at his back, flashing with a strange light.
