At half past six in the morning, Gu Qi opened his eyes and felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.

Miao Yi curled up in a circle, sleeping on his chest, feeling that Gu Qi had woken up, Miao Yi opened her eyes, stood up and stood up, sat down again, and asked, "Have a nightmare?" ”

"How do you know?" Gu Qi looked at the ceiling and tried to remember, but he could only remember that it was a nightmare, and he didn't remember the content of the dream at all.

"At about two o'clock, your breathing suddenly became rapid, and it lasted for about ten minutes, what did you dream about?" Miao Yi naturally lay down.

"I can't remember it at all." Gu Qi sat up, lifted the quilt, and picked up the clothes placed on the chair.

Miao Yi rolled onto the bed, was covered by the quilt again, retreated to the corner of the wall before struggling out, shook her body and said: "No, you are a standard light sleeper, you can wake up when you have a storm, you can wake up without being scared if you have a nightmare, it's strange not to remember the content, could it be that you have fallen into the illusion?" ”

Gu Qi's actions in putting on his clothes paused, shook his head and said, "If I fought in the illusion, it is impossible for me not to remember, if I haven't fought, then why didn't the other party trap me in the illusion and let me leave?" ”

"That's right, how can there be such a fantasy." Miao Yi nodded, and asked again, "Why are you getting up so early?" Where are you going? ”

"Go to school, the people from the United States are here, you have to watch it, it's okay these days anyway." Gu Qi got dressed and opened the door.

In the living room, Xu Peirong had finished washing, and Xiao Zilong and Zheng Jie were sitting at the round table.

"Going to school?" She looked at Gu Qi blankly: "Your classes are on vacation, where are you going to school?" ”

Gu Qi really didn't expect this, thought about it, and said, "Then I'll stay on the roof." ”

He was going to discuss with Concubine Zhen to resume special training, and it was best to be able to use abilities in the illusion - even if it was a fake ability, after all, he usually used chains in battle, and if he couldn't use it, he could only practice dodging. At present, it is no longer a problem to dodge Yu Yuluo's hand knife, but due to physical limitations, it is difficult to make great progress.

"Then I'll go too." Miao Yi immediately understood what Gu Qi meant, its ability had already been developed, and occasionally practiced at home, the black flame like a black shadow was easy to control, and it still needed to work hard, and it was not bad to continue to practice in the illusion.

Gu Qi looked at Xiao Zilong, and just wanted to tell them not to follow Xu Peirong anymore, but Zheng Jie raised his hand to stop him.

The boss said. After you come back, we will definitely not have to protect us anymore, let us not pay attention to you, you are not a person from Tianzong, even if it is, the order to let us protect Xu Peirong was given by Uncle Feng, and you can't beat Uncle Feng. She said as she ate the heated buns.

Gu Qi scratched the back of his head, there was nothing he could do about this situation, Zhou Feng had always thought that his trip to the river and sea with Kenji Sakura had helped Tianzong a lot, and he couldn't go to Zhou Feng to fight.

The day was uneventful. Gu Qi and Miao Yi spent time in special training and rest, communication failed, and the content of the special training was still evasive.

In the evening, Miao Yi went home. It came again at eleven o'clock, the vigilance of the cat is incomparable to that of people, and with it, the members of Zhang Zhenyu's team can also go back to sleep peacefully.

Close your eyes. Gu Qi came to a new place again.

He remembered it again, remembered the strange Grim Reaper, remembered this strange illusion.

Black Friday.

…………

…………

This time. Time stops from the start, and the scene is a rather upscale restaurant.

Gu Qi saw that his people were a well-dressed person, sitting at the dining table, with a plate of delicate roast pigeons, a plate of lettuce salad and a glass of red wine on the table, the people next to him were talking and smiling, both men and women were smoking, judging from their clothing styles, this should be the country of rice decades ago.

In any case, it doesn't feel like a good place to commit suicide.

"Good night." The Grim Reaper appeared again, still holding the long-handled scythe in one hand, and spread out the other hand, saluting Gu Qi.

"Can you tell me your true purpose? What is the use of this illusion? It can't kill me, it can't trap my mind, I can't remember what happened in the illusion when I wake up...... What is the significance? Gu Qi asked the god of death.

Death shrugged: "What purpose do I have, I don't know you, and I don't know the exorcists you killed, I said, it's just work, I was told to do it, I had to do it, as for the illusion...... My illusion is so weak, and absorbing the ghost face can only get more stories, that's all. ”

Faced with this rogue answer, Gu Qi couldn't say anything, so he had to ask: "You said that you want to increase the difficulty of the question this time, how are you going to ask?" Don't let me see the man's memories so that I can't analyze his actions? ”

"Of course you can analyze, but it's not interesting to play that set again, let's have something interesting - imagination, I tell you his story, his character, I can tell you anything you want to know, and finally you can use your imagination and reasoning ability according to this story, according to the current scene, guess the reason for his suicide, there is no option, see if you can guess it." Death said unhurriedly.

"Say it." Gu Qi nodded.

"You are a successful banker, very rich, you like to travel, you have a wife who loves you very much, and although you have no children, you have a good life.

"A year ago, you and your wife went on a trip to Africa, and the ship you were on was wrecked, and only two other passengers and three sailors survived, and you and your wife also got into their lifeboat, unfortunately she was not badly injured in the accident, and died when the lifeboat came to a desert island.

"The living conditions on that desert island are very bad, you didn't find fresh water, let alone food, in a panic, those sailors carried a few cans of emergency water to the lifeboat, but they didn't have time to find food, you had to use local materials, very difficult to survive for more than a week, and finally waited for the passing boat, to be rescued.

"You love your wife, after returning to the United States, it took a long time to recover from your grief, today is the first anniversary of your rescue, which is equivalent to your second birthday, and your wife's death day, you came to this restaurant to celebrate and remember, but not long after, you suddenly committed suicide, what is the reason?"

Gu Qi fell into deep thought.

[Let's guess together]

Now that they have recovered from their grief, it is obviously not for the sake of their wives, and they do not have children, and it should not be because of an accident with the children.

"What about work?" He asked.

"Everything went well, there were no accidents, you didn't go bankrupt, in fact, you died and left a great inheritance, but unfortunately no one claimed it." The Grim Reaper replied in detail.

"What about health and faith?" Gu Qi considered some painful incurable diseases, and many people were unwilling to endure the torture of illness for a long time, and would rather end their lives early.

But in some religions, suicide is not allowed to go to heaven, so it is important to ask.

"You were very healthy until the moment you died, because you travel a lot, you are healthier than most people, and you don't have any faith, if you have to say, Darwin is your god." The Grim Reaper is very patient.

Gu Qi nodded, if he believed in the theory of evolution, he would be much more comfortable with human life, old age, sickness, and death.

"What about the psychological condition?" He also asked that anything that would be used as a reason to commit suicide if he was severely depressed.

"There is no mental illness at all." Death shook his head.

"The last question, there is only water, what did they eat to survive?" Gu Qi looked at the roast pigeon and lettuce salad in front of him.

"You guessed it, you eat wild pigeons and weeds on the island, and you decide to have one of these dinners every year on this day." Death's jawbone moved twice, as if it were a snap.

Gu Qiyi couldn't think of any other questions for a while, he was sure that the Grim Reaper must have omitted or downplayed some details, but he didn't even think of what questions to ask, so how could he come up with those details?

It's been a year since the incident, no matter what kind of reason for suicide, there is no need to wait that long, why today?

"Where are his wife's bones?" Gu Qi suddenly thought of this question.

"Stay on that uninhabited island." The Grim Reaper's tone was calm.

Gu Qi nodded again and asked, "Can I give a few different answers?" ”

"Of course, as long as one of the answers is correct, you will be right." The Grim Reaper nodded.

"The first possibility is that he has always hoped to bring his wife's bones back for a good burial, but he can't find the uninhabited island, and after the last attempt, he commits suicide in despair; The second possibility is that when he returned home, he happened to meet his companions on an uninhabited island, heard about some things that happened on an uninhabited island, related to the corpse of his wife, and then killed one or more of his companions and committed suicide in fear of sin; The third possibility is that he loved his wife, but he may have been unfaithful and was told by someone in the know, and committed suicide in shame, or conversely, his wife was once unfaithful, and he went to kill that person and committed suicide in fear of sin; The fourth possibility is that he made some very serious mistake and committed suicide in shame. Gu Qi said four possibilities in one breath.

"Very well, let's see if you guessed it right, Bon-appetit!" Death snapped his fingers as he spoke.

The time began to run, and the man took a sip of red wine, then took a knife and fork, forked a pinch of wild vegetable salad and ate it, and cut a piece of meat from the pigeon's leg, put it in his mouth, and after only a few chews, the whole person stopped.

"Eat, this is pigeon meat, eat it while it's fresh, we want to live!" In his mind, the words of the sailor when he handed over a piece of roasted meat on a desert island came to him.

"No...... It's not pigeon meat......" he thought, picked up his napkin, spit the meat in his mouth, paid the bill, and returned home dejected.

"No...... That's not pigeon meat......" He took his pistol out of a drawer and aimed it at his temple-

(To be continued......)

PS: I listened to the story that appeared in this chapter when I was very young, and I forgot all the details, so I made it up again.
