He has always lacked enough love and affection in his life, so he does not miss any brief moment when he can feel love and affection, and stores those moments in his own paradise, stored for the winter of growing old. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Nine days ago, after talking to his father once, he stayed in his hometown with Liu Lu for another day, and Sun Hao came to the county seat with Liu Lu.
After returning to the county, Sun Hao spent a day to get the house done, half a day to find a decoration company, and finally half a day to accompany Liu Lu to pick out furniture online.
When all the trivial matters are over, Sun Hao spent the remaining seven days with Liu Lu.
In the past six days, he has done his best to love Liu Lu, and even overly caring.
This situation once made Liu Lu uncomfortable, and made her feel inexplicably uneasy.
However, fortunately, Sun Hao found out in time and made adjustments, and this time avoided unnecessary explanations.
The six-day period finally ended, and Sun Hao chose to leave on the seventh day.
In order to avoid being discovered, he refused Liu Lu and his family to see him off on the pretext that he was afraid of parting and sad.
At this time, he stayed in a humble house secretly rented on the outskirts of the county.
He lay on the bed in a state of distraction, his eyes staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, and he did not move.
He doesn't have the strength to think about things, and he doesn't know what to think.
He didn't know what his appearance would look like when he got old, so he secretly bought several sets of old people's clothes.
He didn't know what his physique would be like when he got older, so he also secretly bought a cane.
He didn't know what his appetite would be like when he got older, so he secretly ordered a lot of food on the Internet.
He even took into account his own spiritual world, so he also bought himself a high-end computer for reading books and watching movies.
He thought about everything he could think of, prepared everything he could, and even left 4 million that he didn't dare to expose all of his bottom.
The one-bedroom apartment was full of things, and there were 4 million in the bank card, but these did not make him feel at ease.
Instead, as it slowly darkened outside, he began to get scared, became frightened.
He was terrified at the thought that he would grow old in a few hours.
He was afraid that his back would be hunched, he was afraid that his teeth would fall out, he was afraid that his steps would stagger, he was afraid that his hair would turn white, and he was even more afraid that his heart would grow old.
For a moment, he wanted to regret it, and he wanted to take his recent experience as a dream.
"It turns out that I am not a saint, it turns out that I am not great"
Sun Hao couldn't help but cry while lying on the bed, thinking of his family.
"It turns out that I love selfishness, and I turn out that I am also vain."
Sun Hao let the tears remain, and thought of Liu Lu again.
"I'm afraid it won't be softened by tears, on the contrary, tears are food for fear."
"Roll"
When Sun Hao heard the voice in his head, he immediately sat up angrily and stared at the ring finger of his right hand.
The root of this ring finger began to slowly cool down as Sun Hao shouted angrily, and finally an ordinary black iron ring appeared.
Sun Hao stared at the ring, staring, he suddenly laughed, and began to mumble to himself, "Baby, my baby......"
"Smack"
The next moment, Sun Hao suddenly slapped himself, hurriedly covered his hands with the quilt, and said angrily: "Since you are confusing me again." ”
"No, no, no, I didn't confuse you," the space-time ring said in Sun Hao's mind, "I said, I am both a demon and a spirit, and everything depends on you." ”
"I don't care if you're a demon or a spirit, in short, I don't want to get old." Sun Hao said emotionally, "I still have 4 million, I will give it back to you, and I will find a way to return all the other money to you." ”
"Yes," the Spacetime Ring suddenly scoffed, "You take out 10 million now, and I will immediately withdraw the contract." ”
"You..." Sun Hao's face turned red when he was choked by these words.
"Remember what I said, I am a ring demon and a ring spirit," Time Ring suddenly said in a cold tone, "What matters is not what I am, but what you think in your heart?" ”
Sun Hao was frozen by these cold words for a moment.
Yes, he had no right to be angry or hateful to the Time Ring, even if he died violently a few hours later, it was the result of his own choice.
Let him return 10 million now, he can't do it, he was emotional just now, and his heart collapsed, just because he was greedy in his heart.
And then there is never the best of both worlds in this world, there is only the lesser of two evils.
"So, now that you're scared, why don't you think about what to do next?" The Temporal Ring's tone softened.
"What's next?" Sun Hao was attracted by this reminder, "Yes, I can't give up, I can't be defeated by the fear in my heart. ”
As he spoke, he looked excitedly at the ring finger of his right hand and said seriously: "Quit demons, don't quit spirits, I remember you said that I have a chance to become younger, right?" ”
When the space-time ring heard that the other party first called himself a ring demon, and then changed his name to a ring spirit, he smiled lightly and didn't care, "Yes, I said it." ”
"Then you tell me how I'm going to get old and then I'm going to be young, or I'm not going to be old."
"The first rule of time and space ring trading: once anything is traded, it cannot be reversed;"
"The second criterion of space-time ring ring trading: once anything is traded, the current transaction is not completed, and a second transaction cannot be made."
The space-time ring quickly said two guidelines, and then paused for a moment to let Sun Hao digest it for a while.
"You mean to say that I will definitely get old" Sun Hao stared at his right hand, leaning against the wall a little decadently.
"Yes, in four hours, you will directly deduct 50 years and one day of life."
"Oh, no!" Sun Hao suddenly remembered something, "Didn't you say that you can't trade twice, how did I do it that day." ”
"This kind of trade is not within the second criterion," the Space-Time Ring explained lightly, and at the same time mocked: "You can still trade things other than lifespan now, do you want to try it?" ”
"No, no, no" Sun Hao hurriedly shook his head, and at the same time said curiously, "I remember you said that anything can be traded as long as you pay the price." So what else can I trade? ”
"To put it simply, there are four categories" The space-time ring is very patient in the face of normal problems, "potions, weapons, skills, and special classes." ”
"What are the potions?"
After Sun Hao calmed down, he hurriedly asked, what he was most concerned about now was potions, and he wanted to know if he could save his sister's life.
"Potions, including physique potions, strength potions, wisdom potions, and various life-saving medical potions, etc., in a word, the greater the price paid, the better the potions traded, and even some potions can make people reborn and come back to life."
The space-time ring seemed to know what Sun Hao was thinking, and this time it was very detailed.
"Is my sister saved?" Sun Hao looked forward to looking at his covered right hand.
"Hmph, if you are saved, you will naturally be saved, but you better think about yourself first!" The Time and Space Ring couldn't help but laugh again, "It's ridiculous that you can't protect yourself, and you still think about others." ”
"What do you mean?" After hearing this, Sun Hao suddenly felt uneasy.
"The road to killing has begun, although I can exchange anything, but I only collect life, to be precise, I only collect time, and if you want to earn time, you must go to the mirror world to face killing." The Space-Time Ring said solemnly.
"What is a mirror world?" Sun Hao was shocked.
"All the worlds that can be copied, even a book, a movie, a game, a person's dreams, etc., he is a mirror world." The tone of the Time and Space Ring suddenly changed, "My former master died in a mirror world called the "Ask" game. ”
"Familiar with the name?" Sun Hao thought about it for a while, and then remembered that it was that game.
It was a fairy tale game full of saints and cultivators, which was all the rage a few years ago.
"What am I going to do when I enter the mirror world?" Sun Hao asked a crucial question.
"The mirror world is divided into low-level, intermediate, and high-level, and each level is divided into single-person and team" The old man slowed down as much as possible, "With your ability, it is only suitable to go to the low-level single-player mirror world now." ”
Sun Hao nodded and continued to ask, "Then what should I do when I go?" ”
"Kill the other you"
The Time and Space Ring said in a calm tone, but this peaceful tone made Sun Hao feel creepy for a moment.
"You're not kidding, are you?" Sun Hao tried to put on a smile and make himself look more relaxed.
"I said, the road to killing has begun, you don't kill others, when others enter the mirror world copied from this world, others will kill you, you choose, right?" The Space-Time Ring said in a cold tone.
"But I'm going to kill myself, what's going on?"
"Because this world has activated me again since you, it has been copied, and there is also a you in the mirror world after copying, if you don't kill him, he will kill you when he grows stronger."
"Wait, I still don't understand what you mean?" Sun Hao felt a little dizzy.
"Okay!" The space-time ring sighed softly, "To put it simply, when the space-time ring is activated, the real world to which the space-time ring belongs will be randomly copied out of the mirror world of 369 and so on, and the lowest-level mirror world is copied out with the new owner of the space-time ring as the main body, so you must kill yourself first." ”
"Wait" Sun Hao interrupted the space-time ring again, "Let's not talk about whether to kill yourself or not, I listen to the meaning of your words, it seems that there are still many space-time rings in this world." ”
"Yes" the Spacecraft Ring is noncommittal.
"And what is your principle?" Sun Hao suddenly felt that his brain was insufficient, and for what he had just heard, he completely subverted his worldview.
"You don't need to know, and you don't have the right to know," the Temporal Ring snapped up, "You just have to answer if you want to be young again, if you want to save your sister's life." ”
"I ......" Sun Hao hesitated for a few seconds, "I think, but ......"
"Nothing?" The space-time ring immediately interrupted Sun Hao's words, "You just need to remember that others are hell, if you don't kill him, he will kill you, this is the law of the mirror world." ”
"I ......" Sun Hao fell into a dilemma.
At this time, the space-time ring was not talking, quietly waiting for Sun Hao's choice.
After a long time, Sun Hao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Let me give an answer tomorrow, don't bother me anymore, I want to be quiet." ”
Hearing this, the space-time ring silently disappeared traces on Sun Hao's right ring finger.
He knew that Sun Hao actually had a choice, but now that he had not grown old, his heart was still a little bit hot.
And tomorrow, when he sees himself getting older, he will always remember the phrase "others are hell".
