If there is no miracle, Eiji Shenyan is dead.

A minute was far from enough time for Lee Ben and Beyotis to run to the exit of this level, and after seeing Jason's force, no one doubted that he would be able to catch up with him quickly.

So there is only one place they can go, and that is the mysterious door on the altar.

Although it is not clear where the back door of the door is, this is the only possible way for the two of them to survive.

Li Ben glanced at his watch, and the time was about to reach midnight.

On the way, he said to Beyotis: "Place a trap outside before going in to stop him from following up, and we'll have an extra day to find a way out." ”

Beyotis replied to him coldly: "I don't need you to remind him. ”

She seemed to be dissatisfied with Li Ben's decision to leave them first, although she knew that it was the right choice at the time.

Li Ben didn't say anything more.

The altar was close in front of them when Jason's angry roar when he found his prey had escaped, and the miserable wail of Eiji Kamiiwa.

He stopped in front of the archway, waiting for Beyotis to quickly finish setting up the trap spell while putting on his clothes while stealth.

In another half a minute, the magic door will close. And it only took Jason twenty seconds to walk through the one-minute journey of Lee Ben and them to the altar.

Li Ben said to Beyotis, "You go in first, my highness." ”

Beyotis decisively withdrew first.

Jason takes a step under the altar and the magic trap takes effect. It wasn't an explosion or anything like that, it was a magically alienated quicksand terrain.

Jason sank into it for the most part, and then slapped his hands at his sides, shattering the ground and splashing quicksand as he flew out of it.

He took a second step, and the void magic chains appeared, trapping his hands and feet, and he exerted several strengths, easily breaking free.

His third step attracted a dazzling white light, covering his world in pure white, and he only lost his mind for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, the white light was dispersed.

Jason noticed that the figure in front of the Chaos Gate had the intention of retreating, and raised his hand with a knife, intending to destroy the magic door, but the attack was only sent to the end, but it failed to cause any damage to the seemingly fragile stone door.

The lantern-bearers around suddenly looked at Jason.

Li Ben knew that he really should leave at this time, so he retreated into the energy channel and lost his whereabouts.

At his last glance before leaving, he saw that the ghosts, which should have been harmless, all twisted themselves wildly and rushed towards Jason.

When he came back to his senses, he was plunged into darkness, and only the solid feedback under his feet could give him some peace of mind. Looking around, in the deep darkness, he saw a little fire in the distance, and instinctively walked towards it.

It was a fire, a warm glow that was different from those on the ground. It's just that these lights can only illuminate a small area around the fire, and the distinction between light and darkness is completely unnatural, without a trace of transition.

Lee Ben saw that Beyotis had been untransformed, and sat down around the campfire. She looked at Li Ben and looked at him suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" asked Lee.

"You're not dead?" Beyotis said inexplicably.

"Why should I die?"

"I waited for you for a minute, I thought you were left behind by Jason forever. ”

"I only have ten seconds in my mind. ”

Then the two of them said at the same time: "Time difference." ”

Obviously, the speed of time here is different from that of the world outside the Might and Magic Gate, and according to the calculations, one second outside is six seconds here.

"That's a good thing. "It means we have more time," Lee said. ”

"I've probed the dark realm around the fire, and there's nothing," Beyotis said. ”

"Is it possible that it is also a circular space?"

"I don't know. ”

"Then give it a try. ”

The two of them planned to move in one direction, but neither the hunter's perception nor Li Ben's mental eye ability could be effective here, even if the two of them were facing each other, there was nothing in their perception after closing their eyes.

In order not to scatter each other, and not to deviate from the direction, they held hands and walked into the inky darkness.

When the light spot behind them was completely swallowed by the black, a light source appeared in front of them, and when they got closer, the two saw their carved mark by the fire.

"It seems so. Beyotis said.

"There was no other way out, and the only thing that could be used as a clue was this lonely fire. Li Ben said.

They sat down by the fire again, carefully observing every detail.

After a while, Li Ben suddenly asked, "Shenyan Eiji's ability is not just a matter of mental interference. ”

"If he was strong enough, he would be able to bend reality with his will, but that doesn't matter anymore. Beyotis said.

She asked Li Ben rhetorically: "Your ability is not only invisible, right? It is the first time that I have seen a person who has been dismembered can be resurrected and reborn intact." Until now, you'd rather wear that tattered mask than show your true colors, and you want to hide a lot more secrets than we do. ”

"Is that so?" Li Ben said with a wry smile, "I don't want to do this either..."

He suddenly remembered the story of the shapeshifter told by Beyotis, and wanted to ask a question, but he couldn't say it, so he had to give up.

"Are you under the curse of not being able to show your true face?"

Li Ben shook his head in denial, and didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so he said: "This bonfire is very ordinary, those woods will burn out, if we wait until this flame dies away, what will happen to us?"

"Trapped in the dark... Forever. Beyotis replied.

"It's a well-designed cemetery, isn't it? The inscriptions also mention the passing on of the 'flame of hope'... We can think of all this as a man-made trial, a puzzle, and this is an exam that can be answered within a limited time. ”

"We need to find answers to the only flame in this darkness. Li Ben said.

Beyotis echoed the inference and asked, "Is this flame the 'flame of hope'?"

"Neither nor is it the answer to the puzzle. However, since this place is the only one, it means..."

"Not true. Beyotis interrupted Leeben as she looked around and said, "And the black, and the ground beneath our feet." ”

After hearing this, Li Ben fell into deep thought, and then asked himself and said, "When it comes to hope, what is hope?"

"There is no concept of despair, and there is no hope. ”

"Without darkness, there is no way to know light... Humans are such stupid creatures... Without evil, we do not know good, and without death, we do not know life..."

He thought of himself that he had been bored with the stable life in the original world, and that although it was not a mess all day long, it was like a mechanical gear, and he always felt that he had lost his soul.

When he came to this world, he experienced many things, often fell into a life crisis, recognized those terrifying monsters, saw the miserable condition of human beings, and became numb.

Li Ben asked himself, just as Zhou Haomiao once asked, why do you want to go back, why do you want to go back to the original boring world?

Because I'm just a stupid person.

Is life interesting now, is it exciting, is it to your heart?

The answer, of course, is no, he now misses the life of the original world even more, and even those medical incidents have become not surprising, but like the spice of life, it is evocative.

While thinking about this, Li Ben suddenly fell into a sluggish and stiff body, and his voice to himself became smaller and smaller. He looked at the campfire, his eyes full of warm red.

Beyotis noticed Leeben's abnormality and reminded him, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that he didn't react, he reached out and touched it.

"It's so hot!" she retracted her hand and looked at Li Ben in surprise.

When she touched Leeben, Beyotis felt that she had encountered a flame, and she immediately realized that there was some kind of strange connection between Leeben and the bonfire in front of her.

"Maybe that's the process of solving the problem. "Beyotis decided to wait and see what happens.

............

"It's really not pleasant to be alone in life and death. ”

This was the last sentence Li Ben heard before waking up, and I don't know who said it in the dream.

As soon as he got out of bed, he only felt groggy in his head, and according to the line of muscle memory, he could walk from the bedroom to the bathroom even with his eyes closed.

Sunlight filtered in through the small window and hit the back of Li Ben's head. In front of the mirror, he picked up a toothbrush and toothpaste, and began to wash sleepily.

When you're done, you take a towel and dip it in water, wipe your face, exhale a breath of turbidity, wink at yourself in the mirror, stretch your body, and announce the beginning of a new day.

Energetic children play on the side of the road, and Lee Ben sits inside and watches them while eating cold bread and milk for breakfast.

Today is the first day that he has been qualified to take the main treatment, which means that he is finally able to prescribe and treat patients alone.

There wasn't much joy in the air, for he didn't feel any different from his usual days.

Li Ben turned on the TV and played a program at random, which was the morning news. He just wanted to make this apartment less lonely through the voice of the TV.

"Yesterday, the police arrested a professional medical troublemaker Su... As we all know, the doctor-patient relationship has become a hot argument in today's society. With the various negative news reports about doctors, patients' trust in doctors has declined to a great extent. Especially in private hospitals... And the Su arrested by the police is a guy who takes advantage of the conflict between doctors and patients to seek illegal benefits from it......"

It has been more than half a year since Li Ben was beaten after that medical trouble.

Afterwards, he was found by residents of the community who were passing by and dumping garbage, and he was taken to the nearest hospital for treatment. Chen Yan, who knew the cause and effect of the incident, gave him a month's paid leave after presenting the report to the dean.

And Chen Yan did not let this medical incident be easily revealed, after summing up with the dean, they automatically used a lot of relationships, layer by layer, investigation and evidence collection, and after handing over the evidence to the police last month, there was this scene in today's news. The person who was arrested was none other than Su Xiaochuan.

After turning off the TV, Li Ben, who had finished breakfast, sorted out all kinds of things, and walked out of the apartment, ready to go to work.

On the way, he looked up at the sky, the sun was gorgeous, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and an inexplicable sense of disobedience emerged in his heart.

I don't know what's going on, Li Ben always feels that he has forgotten something.
