Chapter 39: The Choice of Fate
Ye Xingyu slowly opened his eyes and touched his forehead, which was still a little hot.
He seemed to be lying on a wooden bed in a small wooden house, which was very small and simple, with a bed, a table, and a few chairs, just the accommodation of ordinary people.
Ye Xingyu just wanted to sit up, but he felt weak.
"Ding, congratulations to the player for breaking through the limit of mental power, attribute value +1"
"You're awake!" A familiar voice suddenly came from his ears, Ye Xingyu followed the voice, and saw Yin Feng Liu'er standing at the door of the wooden house, wearing a light blue dress, and said happily.
Because of the wind, Liu'er's long hair went around the ear bun and hung down from her shoulders, and a light blue dress set off her beautiful face with agility and gentleness, just like a landscape painting.
Ye Xingyu was also slightly stunned, because Feng Liu'er was wearing an assassin's black robe before, but now that he changed his makeup, he almost didn't recognize it.
Because Feng Liu'er saw Ye Xingyu staring at her, her face flushed slightly.
"How did we end up here? Is this already a trial? Ye Xingyu looked at the surroundings and asked.
"It doesn't seem to be yet, and I didn't receive a prompt to complete the task, this is a family near the snowy mountain, we should have been rescued by them." Because of Feng Liu'er, she thought about it and said.
Ye Xingyu opened the task bar, and sure enough, the task of picking iceberg snow lotus was still hanging there, but there were less than 16 hours left in the time.
Ye Xingyu frowned and began to try to recall the scene before he fainted.
At that time, he remembered that he had climbed to the top of the mountain with Yin Feng Liu'er, and then seemed to see a blooming iceberg snow lotus, but at that time he was already in a semi-comatose state, and he didn't know whether he had picked the iceberg snow lotus at most.
It stands to reason that once the harvest is successful, they should be considered to have completed the trial, then they should return to the Ice and Fire Cave, but this is not the case now, is it that the last time it will fall short?
Thinking of this, Ye Xingyu hurriedly opened his backpack to check, and there was no Snow Mountain Ice Lotus in the backpack.
Immediately, Ye Xingyu looked at Yin Feng Liu'er and asked, "Is that Snow Mountain Ice Lotus there for you?" ”
Because Feng Liu'er also seemed to understand something, she hurriedly checked her backpack, but there was also no Snow Mountain Ice Lotus, so she shook her head at Ye Xingyu.
Thinking about it this way, then there are two possibilities, one is that they did not pick the snow mountain ice lotus at all, and the other is that they did, but because of some originals, they fell into the snow mountain.
Ye Xingyu had a headache, if this was the case, it would be impossible for them to find it back, judging by the time, this was almost a declaration of the failure of the mission.
Forget it, it's useless to think about it, Ye Xingyu slowly got up and walked out of the wooden house, and came outside the house, this family saved themselves, anyway, they should be grateful.
Ye Xingyu walked out of the house, it was still snowing outside the house, the snowflakes were flying, the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and a cold plum tree was slowly blooming on the side of the courtyard wall not far away.
The courtyard wall is surrounded by a yellow clay wall, which is very simple, but it gives people an elegant and simple feeling.
"The owner doesn't seem to like people to disturb me." Ye Xingyu thought so.
"The snow is like nothing, not as if the catkins are raised by the wind. What a beautiful snow scene! A melodious female voice came from beside her.
"Compared to the snow that can be seen within a hundred miles, I think the independent plum blossoms in this cold snow are even rarer." Ye Xingyu smiled and said.
"Childe also knows plum blossoms?" A crisp female voice said.
I saw that not far from them, a woman in a long white dress was sitting quietly in a wheelchair, her eyes were quietly looking at the snow scene in the courtyard, and her fingertips touched the falling flying snow and smiled faintly.
The woman's face was haggard and pale, and she apparently seemed to be feeling unwell.
Her eyes are a little hollow, full of loneliness, endless loneliness, just like this flying snow, just like this red plum.
However, the elegant temperament exuded by the body is the same as that of this courtyard, and it is obviously the owner of this courtyard.
"This cold plum is very chic, the residual flowers shine on the water, it is not stained with wind and dust, but it is accompanied by snow." Ye Xingyu looked at the woman's eyes and said.
The woman chuckled and looked at the snow infatually.
"No matter how childe says it, it is rare in the sky and rare in the world, but it is a pity that the person who planted this beautiful scenery with his own hands will never have the opportunity to appreciate it again."
The woman had a poignant look in her eyes, then fumbled, controlling the wheelchair and gradually moving away.
Sure enough, no wonder he felt a little strange about the woman in white just now, and her eyes lacked a bit of soul.
Ye Xingyu sighed, no matter what, these have nothing to do with him, if they don't find the iceberg snow lotus quickly, he will not be able to protect himself.
After some understanding, Ye Xingyu also understood what happened.
This family is just a resident of this town at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and they met Ye Xingyu and Yin Feng Liu'er who were in a coma in the process of collecting medicine on the mountain, so they rescued the two.
The woman they had seen before was the daughter of this family, named Ling'er.
It is said that Ling Er was born with a disability and accompanied by strange diseases, her physique is weak, and her eyes were blind a year ago, and she can only move around the hospital all day.
However, there was one thing that made Ye Xingyu a little puzzled, when he came into contact with the parents of the woman in white named Ling Er, Ye Xingyu found that they were a little evasive of their gaze. Obviously they saved themselves, how could this be?
Suddenly, a thought suddenly appeared in Ye Xingyu's mind, could it be that the Snow Mountain Ice Lotus was in their hands?
The idea was out of control as soon as it came to mind, and if that were the case, it would make sense.
Sure enough, it seemed to verify his guess, because Feng Liu'er and the mother of the woman in white actually took the initiative to find Ye Xingyu to explain the reason.
When the two came to Ye Xingyu, the mother of the woman in white took out the Snow Mountain Ice Lotus, looked at Ye Xingyu and Yin Feng Liu'er, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
After a while, the woman's eyes suddenly became a little red, and she said with a sad face: "Ask the two guests to save Ling'er, Ling'er has been suffering from cold poison since she was a child, with the passage of time, the cold poison qi on Ling'er's body is accumulating deeper and deeper, and her body will gradually lose consciousness when she is attacked by cold poison, and now Ling'er has little time, only two guests can save Ling'er." ”
"You mean to say that this Snow Mountain Ice Lotus can save your daughter?" Ye Xingyu asked the woman unhurriedly.
Ye Xingyu had actually guessed a few points a long time ago, but he was not too sure.
"Yes, only this Snow Mountain Ice Lotus can save Ling'er." The woman's voice was a little hoarse and said, "When Ling Er was five years old, she suffered a cold poison attack, her legs were unconscious, and she could only stay in this courtyard for a long time, and she never really walked out of the outside world to see the beauty of this world, if I could, I would rather exchange my life for the happiness of Ling Er's life." ”
"Ding, you trigger the hidden plot, fate decides"
"Ding, you have obtained the Snow Mountain Ice Lotus, do you choose to end the trial and accept the Assassin inheritance?"
"Ding, there are 12 hours left in the trial time, please pass the trial as soon as possible, if you don't complete the trial after 12 hours, the level will be set to zero"
A long-lost system prompt came, Ye Xingyu's face was a little ugly, triggering the hidden plot, the punishment was aggravated, and the level was directly set to zero.
"Otherwise, let's give this Snow Mountain Ice Lotus to Sister Ling'er, it's a big deal to start over." Because of the wind willow's voice sounded in Ye Xingyu's ears. Because Feng Liu'er's eyes were slightly red, she was obviously sad for Ling Er.
Resetting the level means that it will be difficult for him to catch up with other players.
If he were still the same Ye Xingyu who struggled to survive in reality and regarded NPCs as a pile of data, he would not hesitate to choose to deliver the task and complete the trial.
But when he thought of the loneliness in the eyes of the woman in white, he hesitated a little?
"I'm sorry, I need a little time to think." After speaking, without waiting for Feng Liu'er to speak, he walked out.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Ye Xingyu sighed.
If the first level tests the professional qualities of an Assassin, the second level tests the Assassin's firm determination to complete the mission, but what is the purpose of this third level?
Is it the choice to maximize profits, or is it ruthlessness as an assassin?
12 hours, Ye Xingyu suddenly clenched his fists, looking at the stars under the night, the so-called miracles were all created by himself.
