"But even if you live so painfully...... Ahem...... We don't want to leave, that feeling of not being needed, ahem...... More desperate than death. ”

He said to put me down, and there was the weird "Ferris wheel" in front of him. In this way, these ghost-faced people don't even know why they're working so hard.

He coughed several times, but he still refused to take off the mask that got in the way, perhaps for him, this was proof that he was still alive and needed.

If it weren't for the fire, if it weren't for the fire, if it weren't for the fact that after seeing a hundred steps of stairs, and then going up, the arrangement of the stairs showed a curved surface, like the side of the Ferris wheel, I might not know why I couldn't climb to the top until I died.

"Ahem...... Can you do me a favor? "The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it can't stop until the whole dark room is burned out, and the constant choking smoke is the biggest trouble at the moment. You have to find a way to get out quickly.

Glancing at him, he handed him the dagger, and motioned for a hundred flights of stairs to be chiseled up, and if I guessed correctly, it should be hollow underneath, and there must be a mechanism in it to allow this thing to operate silently in the darkness without being noticed.

When he took it, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and probably didn't expect that I would send this thing to him myself. Actually, if I didn't have the strength to do it, I really didn't want to hand over the dagger.

Leaning to the side, covering his nose with his cloak, he looked back at the fire, which was much darker than before, but it was still full of smoke, and even more suspicious than before.

He had been stabbed in the left shoulder by me, and there were wounds on his head and neck, and he knelt there, chiseling the stairs intently.

The dagger is as sharp as it used to be, and even though I never had time to take care of it, it's still so reliable. In less than ten clicks, it was chiseled open, and inside it was obviously a deeper and larger world, a world of mechanisms made up of countless gears and bearings.

Obviously, the guess was confirmed, but strangely there was a sense of powerlessness coming up, such a big battle, it is impossible for two people to deal with it.

I asked him to try to speed up on this "Ferris wheel", trying to make up for the consequences of the operation of the mechanism by relying on the difference in speed, but this thing actually adjusts its speed according to the speed of the person's walking, no matter what kind of speed, it can't escape the end of stopping in place.

What even surprised me was that this thing is also extremely sensitive to quality, and even Ayou can't escape it.

Anxiety, anger, despair, all at once tangled together, and they rushed towards me, who would have enough to eat and have nothing to do, build a secret passage in such a place, and set up this kind of mechanism to crush the low-hanging hope again? Isn't this sick or what?!

The popping sound of things being burned echoed everywhere, each one tugging at my nerves, as if this would be the last sound of my life.

Consciousness finally began to drift away, and my vision became blurry again, and in a trance I saw a lot of dead people, Uncle Yuan, Wu Laosi, Abang...... Suddenly I felt glad again, fortunately I drove away Baili and the sissy, if I were really that Yang Yun, then dying alone in such a dark place would be my best ending.

was violently pushed awake, and his consciousness was pulled back to reality in an instant, and before he was mentally prepared, he was facing a ghost mask, and his heart couldn't help but tremble a few times with fright.

"Master, listen to me." He muffled his voice and leaned in front of me, "I'll go down later, jam the gear inside, ahem...... Just run, don't look back. On top is a manhole cover, push it open and you can get out. ”

I glanced at him, and was about to nod, but when I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong: "What about you?" ”

"From the moment I decided to betray the mission and let you go, I was dead."

"What do you mean......" Before he finished speaking, with a loud bang, the entire dark room shook violently, "What's going on?!" ”

Before he could stand firmly, he pushed him up: "Hurry up!" It's going to collapse here! With that, without waiting for any reaction from me, he stumbled down the stone steps, climbed down the gears, and disappeared in a few clicks.

It's going to collapse?!

I suddenly realized that there was an ice cave on it, and such a fire, with so much heat, was going to melt anyway.

"Hey!" Lying on the edge of the hole in the stairs that had been carved out, I didn't even know what his name was, and I didn't know what to call him, "Come up, you girl!" cough cough cough cough ......"

There was no reply for a long time, and there was still no trace of him, and the dark room on the other side of the broken wall, even the walls were burned red, and the temperature was so high that you can imagine it.

It really started to collapse, and the end of the stone mixed with smoke and dust fell from the roof, and the air almost took my breath away.

As soon as he stepped on it, after the stairs were halfway down, the "Ferris wheel" immediately stopped rotating, looked at the place where the man disappeared again, grabbed Ayou, and ran up with all his might.

The sound of collapse, the sound of burning fire, the sound of gear grinding...... I couldn't do anything but run for my life like a coward. Stepping on a strange and fresh life, desperately jumping away like a clown......

The moment I pushed open the manhole cover, the cold wind blew the cold rain mixed with the dirt on my face, and a gray world shrouded me under the dark blue sky - I came out, I survived......

Having lost the threat of death and escaping from the underworld, I didn't have the strength to get up again, and I fell to the ground, letting the coldness slip through my wounds and sting pain, but even then, I still didn't want to move. That feeling is like having nothing to love in life.

Lying on my side on the ground, my eyelids getting heavier and heavier, until a pair of black hiking boots stopped in sight, and I was completely plunged into darkness.

I don't know why, I feel a peace that I have never felt before, the kind of relaxation that empties my whole body and mind, as if on the blue waves of memory, slowly rippling. There are children singing old songs, drifting from far away, ethereal and melodious, with a hint of indescribable sadness.

Light and darkness coexist, where there is light, there will inevitably be shadows, and when the bright white of the whole world begins to shrink, turning into spots of light, floating in the air, like stars in the sky, such darkness is not so bright and dazzling, but there is eternal tranquility.

When I woke up again, it was a blinding white all around, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol, and I didn't have to think about it to know that I was in the hospital again.

"You're awake."

Only this time I woke up and heard a woman's voice.

I turned my head sideways, looking for the source of the sound, and saw a familiar face, but it made me frown. opened his mouth, and it took a long time for him to make a voice in a hoarse voice: "...... Xiao Xiao? ”
