Life is the same, death is the same hole.

This thought in Ji Tang's heart continued to expand, like throwing a pebble in still water, and the waves spread out in circles. The majestic soul power flowed in their intersecting ten fingers, her fingertips tingling slightly, and her heart ached like pins and needles. However, at this very moment, the voice of the system sounded in the brain.

[The eighth dungeon is completed, and the countdown to the host's return to the transfer station is opened, 5, 4, 3 ......]

Ji Tang was stunned, why did the system let her clear the customs at this time? The mission of the ninth dungeon is obviously only halfway through.

The familiar feeling of dizziness came, and whether she wanted it or not, the scene in front of her was blurry, and her eardrums were buzzing. Before disappearing, she felt a force pulling at her, lowered her head, and saw Xu Jing clasping her fingers tightly, her eyes shining, and her body exuding a powerful aura.

In the twisted time and space, he stood alone, his forehead fluttering, and his teeth clenched.

"Don't go."

Ji Tang's body was already as transparent as a cicada's wings, floating in the air like a piece of tissue paper. She couldn't break free from the power of the system, nor could she let go of Xu Jing's hand, her internal organs turned over the river and the sea, and it seemed that she would be torn apart in the next second.

[The third time the male protagonist's energy overflows, immediately activate the emergency mechanism]

A white light flew through her mind, and she shivered, and she closed her eyes in discomfort. When she opened her eyes again, she was directly stunned by the scene in front of her.

It was an empty house lavishly furnished, similar to the Xu Jing family she had seen in the Doomsday Dungeon. She was standing in the middle of the living room at a loss, when there was a slight sound of footsteps in the hallway. A little boy with a civet cat in his arms tiptoes off his shoes.

"It's ...... Xu Jing? ”

"That's right, we're in the depths of the male protagonist's memory now." Lori in a white skirt and socks suddenly appeared next to her, and said in a faint voice.

Ji Tang recognized her, "Affection? ”

"Lie to you, I don't call it by that name." Lori put her hands behind her back and looked up at her and smiled, "Call me Miao." ”

Ji Tang couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and he was puzzled for a long time: "What's going on?" ”

While the two were talking, Xiao Xu Jing had already walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. The huge refrigerator was empty and there was nothing. The cat in his arms whined with hunger, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his dark eyes, and he put down the little milk cat and awkwardly moved a chair taller than himself from the dining room.

He climbed into his chair and struggled to stand on his tiptoes to reach for a carton of expired milk in the cupboard.

Ji Tang was so frightened that he couldn't wait to help him take the milk down.

"Bang-" Xiao Xu Jing fell from his chair and slammed his forehead on the edge of the sink. Ji Tang was frightened and hurriedly ran over to look. I saw him staggering to his feet, covering his forehead, blood spilling from his fingers, dripping most of his face. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve and climbed up again.

Ji Tang was distressed, and she reached out to touch his face. Naturally, the result was a blank slate.

"Xu Jing, five years old, his parents divorced, and the court ruled that he should be raised by his father, but because of his father's irresponsibility, he actually lived alone for a long time until he reached adulthood." Lori walked over slowly, squatting on the ground, and looked at the little milk cat.

Xiao Xu Jing finally got the carton of milk, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, jumped off the chair, poured the milk into the small basin, and sent it to the kitten. He carefully stroked the top of the kitten's head, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "In the future, we will live together, I will call you Miao, okay?" ”

The hungry kitten just buried his head in the milk, and his mouth was dyed with milky white.

"If you don't speak, then I'll take you as a promise." Xiao Xu Jing sat cross-legged on the ground, with a bit of flattering pleading in his tone, which made people feel sad to hear. He scooped up a handful of water in the bathroom, washed the wound, rummaged through the cabinets and found a band-aid, and applied it to the wound in the mirror.

The hideous bloody wound stretched from his temple to his sideburns, and it took him five or six band-aids to cover the wound crookedly. Ji Tang leaned against the outside of the bathroom, seeing that he had bitten his lower lip, and his eyes were red with distress.

Lori left the cat, walked next to Ji Tang, and said: "Xu Jing excelled in his studies, and at the age of sixteen he was admitted to S City No. 1 Middle School with the first place, but his lonely childhood made him very distrustful of others, extremely insecure, and developed an indifferent and reticent character. ”-

The scene in front of you changes.

The short-handed and short-footed little Xu Jing has grown into the handsome young man she is familiar with. He wore a crisp blue and white school uniform, crisp short hair, and gray sneakers. A kitten poked its head out of his bag and was gently pushed back by him. He placed Miao Miao in a corridor at the back of the school building, prepared food for it, and then stepped on the bell to go to class.

"Xu Jing, where's your homework?" A tall, thin girl with curly hair, chewing gum, leaned on the edge of his table and knocked on his table, "Hurry up and borrow me to copy it." ”

Xu Jing glanced at her, took out his homework book from his school bag, and threw it to her.

"Thank you." The girl grinned and shook the notebook in her hand.

Sitting on Xu Jing's left, a boy who was hanging was a boy, crossed his feet and smiled: "Chang Lan, did you go out to play again yesterday?" How much wine did you drink, this body is full of alcohol, and the teacher smells it as soon as he smells it. ”

"Why don't I chew some gum here, can you smell it again?" Chang Lan leaned over, and the two frolicked. Xu Jing looked at his nose and nose, as if he didn't see their ambiguity at all.

There was a flash of disappointment in Chang Lan's eyes.

"You really like that kid? What's so good about him, isn't he just a little more handsome? The boy clung to her ear and touched her waist in feigned jealousy. Chang Lan was annoyed and embarrassed, knocked him on the head with his homework book, and scolded: "Get out! ”

Miao Miao and Ji Tang stood outside the classroom window together.

"This girl named Chang Lan has become an important turning point in his life."

Ji Tang leaned at the window, turned around and asked, "First love?" ”

Miao's glare at her, her tongue sticking out, knowing that she must have guessed wrong.

At this moment, it was dark, and the clean and bright classroom disappeared and was replaced by a dark alley. A street lamp at the entrance of the street is dim, only illuminating the main road, not into the alley.

Ji Tang saw a cat in the crook of Xu Jing's arm, walking from the street from a distance, and his shadow was dragged by the street lamp. He passed by the entrance of the alley, and suddenly heard the slight crying and screaming of the girl inside, stood still, frowned, and looked inside.

Ji Tang also wanted to go over to see what was going on, but was stopped by Miao.

"You don't need to watch it, it's a play played by Chang Lan."

In the night, Xu Jing saw a snow-white shoulder and waist, the girl was disheveled, and begged for mercy again and again, but the man still approached step by step, pressed her to the corner, and rudely touched her.

The cat in his arms rubbed against his chest, he covered it with his coat, silently closed his eyes, and turned away.

Ji Tang said in surprise: "He didn't do anything? ”

"You keep watching."

Xu Jing walked faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally almost trotted all the way, holding the cat to the phone booth across the street, his fingers flying over the buttons, and dialing 110. Ji Tang was a little relieved: "He still has a sense of justice." ”

Miao Miao sneered: "But others don't think so." ”-

At the end of the corridor of the empty chemical building, the muffled sound of fists to flesh echoed, accompanied by alternate swear words.

Xu Jing curled up in the corner with a bloody face, lowered his head, and the eyes under his forehead were colder than knives.

"Look at the again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu abolished you?" A tall boy kicked him in the back.

Six men beat him up to one of them. Chang Lan stood behind the six people, his arms crossed, his lips scarlet. The boy at the head, who was the one who cooperated with her acting, put his arm on her shoulders and said, "Sister, look at him like this." This kind of little white face is a fart, and when he was beaten like this, he didn't have the courage to fight back. Don't worry, brother will definitely find you a better one. ”

Chang Lan didn't speak with a cold face.

When he remembered the events of that day, he was angry: "Are you a man?" I just walked past! Lao Tzu hates you guts scum the most, and he killed Lao Tzu. Keep calling me! ”

Ji Tang was so angry that the back of his head hurt, and he really wanted to slap these people hard and protect Xu Jing behind him: "Damn, reverse black and white, who is the scumbag?" Didn't you find him calling the police! ”

Miao Miao said: "They dispersed after the play, without waiting for the police to come. ”

At this time, a boy who was outside in the wind dragged a cat in and said to the man, "Brother, this cat suddenly ran over and barked at the door, I'm afraid of luring the teacher over." ”

The man pouted, pointed to the pool, and said, "Drown, drown, hurry!" ”

As soon as Xu Jing saw the cat, his eyes were red with blood, and he pushed away the person in front of him and roared, "You let it go!" Let it go! The four boys couldn't hold him down, but one of them was still in a hurry and kicked his leg hard to suppress him.

The man lifted the back of the cat's neck and said with a smile: "It turns out that this cat was raised by you, no wonder you came here." ”

Xu Jing's teeth were full of blood, and his eyes were red, like a wounded beast.

Ji Tang stood at the door, tears fell, she wiped it with the back of her hand, but the more she wiped it. With a "snap", the bathroom door closed in front of her eyes. Miao Miao held the handle, leaned her back against the door, and sighed: "Don't look at it, right?" ”

They heard muffled grunts in the door, screaming, screaming, crying, and cursing.

Finally, there was a short screech from the cat's temporary, "Meow-"

Ji Tang closed his eyes.

Miao Miao said: "Xu Jing was seriously injured, but those people didn't get a good deal. The one who drowned the cat was broken by him, and he hit his head with a stick, almost becoming a vegetative person, and Chang Lan was also scratched on his face. ”

"The result...... What is it? ”

Miao Miao was silent for a moment before saying: "Xu Jing was expelled from school and entered the detention center, leaving a lifetime of criminal records. ”

It's dark, but that's it. Ji Tang grabbed his hair, slid down the wall, and squatted on the ground.

"Host, your last mission is to go back to his high school days and change his fate."
