Chapter Forty-Seven: Dreaming Back to the Cradle
When Tong Vortex opened the bag, everyone was silent.
Because they had been fighting for half an hour over the bag, it was not Ito's skull that fell out of it, but a leather ball, a few clothes, and some bits and pieces.
Just for this thing, they fought for me for half an hour.
As the countdown went to zero, the entire sea was silent.
Tong Vortex looked at the bag a little distractedly, and still hasn't reacted.
As soon as Jiang Liuyi saw that the defeat was decided, he began to flee quickly into the distance, as if he wanted to escape from here.
However, he had barely taken two steps when his heel was caught in black lines that spread out of nowhere.
Immediately after, the black line spread from the bottom to the top of his and Tong Vortex's bodies, making them completely lose their mobility.
"So how did you do it, Brother Cheng? Where are you hiding? ”
Compared with Jiang Liu, who was shouting hysterically, Tong Vortex was much calmer.
Tong Vortex thought to himself that this might be the last few minutes of his stay in the world, and it was better to ask for clarification than to keep catharsis.
"Just the minute I dragged Gui Yanye into the cabin." He An said calmly while half-floating on the water.
"In such a short time, she listened to you? That's Brother Cheng, it's Brother Cheng she loves deeply! ”
Tong Vortex knew this story about Ito Makoto, and even today's countermeasures were Tong Vortex's suggestion to Jiang Liu.
In the story, Katsura falls in love with Makoto Ito so much that no matter how Makoto Ito fails her, she never gives up.
In the end, Makoto Ito died tragically at the hands of the Saionji world, but it was Gui Yanye who took revenge for him and came here by boat with his last thoughts.
Tong Vortex couldn't figure out why Gui Yanye, who regarded Makoto Ito as his life, could bear to leave such an important relic by his side.
He looked at the woman who had caused them to lose with a puzzled gaze, but Gui Yanye just lowered his head at this time, and he didn't have the heart to participate in their conversation at all.
And after He An carefully looked at and confirmed that Tong Vortex had no possibility of reversing the situation, he breathed a sigh of relief and told what had happened.
"There are some things that you can let go as soon as possible if you can't get them, I think this is what Yan Ye learned in the end."
"At the very beginning of your appearance, I probably guessed that your companion got the Momodi no slash card, with the mobility of the water ninja and those troublesome water bodies, if you defend the ship and resist you, it is almost impossible to protect the mission goal in the melee."
"And in this world, except for this ship, there is an endless sea, and in the face of two strong men who are good at water warfare, we are simply killing ourselves if we leave the ship without permission."
"So when you first appeared, honestly, I almost thought it was a losing battle."
"But that's contrary to the idea that the system doesn't set a must-lose game."
"After thinking about it a few times, I came up with the key to breaking the game, which is that this matchup is not actually 2v2."
"It's our 3V2, including Gui Yanye."
He An raised his hand to Gui Yanye as he spoke, and at this time, Gui Yanye finally came back to his senses and looked at He An.
And Tong Vortex was surprised to find that Gui Yanye was looking at He An's gaze at this time, and there was more tenderness and expectation.
"Then where did you hide Brother Cheng's head in the end?" With little time left, Tong Vortex didn't want to worry about this woman.
He was now only curious about the last and most crucial point, where the mission objective was hidden.
Tong Vortex looked around, and there was no trace of the head in the wreckage of this ruin.
"I hid it in a cupboard, in a microwave oven to be exact."
"What?" Tong Vortex couldn't believe that He An dared to dispose of such an important thing so casually.
Those cabinets, he had countless opportunities to destroy, and even with just one vine entanglement, he could crush everything in the cabinet belt.
However, he missed this opportunity and spent his precious time on a false goal.
"Well, it's a bit risky, but it's the best chance I can think of for victory."
Tong Vortex sighed after hearing this, he raised his head and looked at the sky and said a little weakly:
"So from beginning to end, you are playing me, and you will not hesitate to kill yourself and me in the cabin?"
"Yes, there is a good saying, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself."
"I've been suggesting that my goal is in the bag, and I'd rather fight with my life than prevent you from getting the bag."
"Only in this way can you keep your attention firmly on this bag!"
He An nodded and said, he noticed that those black silk threads had climbed to the position of Tong Vortex's temple, and he believed that Tong Vortex would soon be completely submerged.
In order to make the old classmates feel more at ease, He An explained two sentences in the future:
"From the moment the ship was shattered, we actually won."
"Over time, the head has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and I'm sure in the last few seconds, even if you do notice that something is wrong, there is no way to reverse the defeat."
"And there is another advantage to always maintaining a high level of fighting, that is, you will not choose to die with us due to premature despair, you must know that in this duel, I don't want our side to lose anyone, including Gui Yanye."
Tong Vortex was completely convinced now, He An could calculate this place, then it should be them who won.
"It's just, classmate He An, you are not small, in such a deep sea, you are not afraid that the head will be bitten by a shark or something, in fact, this gamble also has an element of luck, right?"
"It's not a gamble, it's a win-winning calculation." He An shook his finger and said, "Because there are no other creatures in this world except for the five of us. ”
"Let me give you a hint, have you noticed the creatures that were turned into mosaics before you entered here?"
Tong Vortex was reminded by He An like this, and he remembered that when he was summoned by the system for the first time, he had seen the Mocha on the rooftop turn into a mosaic in front of him.
In other words, the system may have simplified the battlefield for reasons such as reducing costs, and all creatures that are not related to combat are not put into the battlefield.
At this time, Tong Vortex had a complete epiphany, he was convinced, and there was no regret.
As the black silk thread spread to the top of his head, Tong Vortex's time began to turn gray, and the time of parting had come, and before his nerves were completely swallowed by the black silk, Tong Vortex said his last request.
"Kill me, Ho An."
After he finished speaking, he saw He An hesitantly holding the knife, so before he fell into darkness completely, Tong Vortex added:
"Take my share and go down."
The light of the knife flashed, like a breeze blowing on the face.
Tong Vortex suddenly felt that his body had become very light, and the gray world was once again bright.
His head fell gently to the surface of the sea, and under the ripples of the sea, it seemed to return to the cradle.
Before he fell into a deep sleep, he heard a voice whisper from beside him:
"Goodbye, old classmate."
