Chapter 58: Fear is a Gift
Qiu Xuan's whole body froze on the big bed in the room. After a while, she slowly sat up from the bed and asked again, seemingly incredulously, "What did you say?" β
"Don't come, you heard." Nightmare popped out of her pocket, "Hey little brat, are you alright?" β
If it weren't for the Nightmare mention, Qiu Xuan wouldn't have noticed that her entire body was trembling slightly. She buried her face in her knees, feeling as if all the coolness emanated from her veins.
"Betrayer", excluding herself and the dead who have already been confirmed, the remaining options are simply clear.
Gu Qingyue.
Qin Jiuyuan.
Either of these two names had anything to do with the betrayer, and it made her feel as if all her emotions had collapsed in front of her.
"Well, actually, I think that's pretty normal." Seeing that her face was really wrong, Nightmare tentatively comforted, "Every player who comes here is just here to win." β
ββ¦β¦ I'm not. I don't even know why I was the one who was chosen. Qiu Xuan buried herself in the darkness and said in a deep voice, "And later, I used them as a reason to win so desperately to win, of course, you are also one of them." For the sake of responsibility, for the sake of commitment, for the sake of bets, for the sake of compassion, for the sake of the emotion, I don't know what emotions originate. β
"However, if even such reasons are fake, if even such feelings are faked, what is the point of me desperately trying to win?"
"Nightmare, to be honest, I've never been afraid of death, never. It's just that I don't know what the point of all this is, even if I do win the villa game in the end. Like you said, this is just the beginning, and I am destined to walk in a boundless world. But why? Why? β
At the end of her words, Qiu Xuan began to speak incoherently, she wiped her face indiscriminately, and once again hid herself in the dark shadows.
Nightmare Wenzhi was silent for a while, he thought for a moment, and conjured an arm with the thick black mist and gently patted Qiu Xuan's shoulder.
Qiu Xuan (frightened): "WDNMD"
Nightmare: "......"
"You see, it's an instinct for humans to fear the unknown." Nightmare said, "You say that you are not afraid of death, I don't know what the meaning is, but in the end it is just fear." You are afraid that the person you really care about will betray you, you are afraid of the ending of this game, you are afraid of the never-ending journey, you are afraid of the unknown. β
"Qiu Xuan, in fact, really, fear is not a shameful thing."
"The darkness says, 'Fear is a gift from heaven to mankind.'" β
ββ¦β¦β
"What kind of deep diver are you serving the unknown darkness," Qiu Xuan raised her head and glared at him with red eyes, "I should have guessed that you two are in a gang, just to attract people to become your free workers." β
"What are you talking about, little brat?" Nightmare rageed, "I want to comfort you so much that you don't kick your nose in the face!" Who's going to be in the same league with that kind of guy! β
"Whatever." Qiu Xuan turned her head to glare at the dark shadows, and then muttered, "Now please shut up, I'm going to take a shower." β
"Humph!!"
Qiu Xuan sat in the bathtub with her eyes closed, the warm water running through the large and small unhealed wounds on her body, but the pain made her mind clearer than ever.
Whoever it was, she thought, the goal now was to find the betrayer, whoever that person was.
I'm going to win. She said that, and I would win.
"-Ding Ding Ding! Next up is the daily guess who I am time!
Let's guess whoβisβthe betrayer! β
"What?!" On the long table, Gu Qingyue looked at the opposite side in surprise, and the shocked expression on her face didn't look like she was cheating.
"There are still betrayers among us." Qiu Xuan also looked at her when she heard the voice, and said calmly, and she couldn't see the fragile expression of the afternoon in the first half of her expression.
Gu Qingyue reacted and looked at Qiu Xuan with the same seriousness and seriousness; "I can swear that I am by no means a 'betrayer.'"
Qiu Xuan stared at her for a while, "I'll only ask this once." Are you sure? β
"I'm sure." The same unequivocal tone.
"Okay." Qiu Xuan said.
"So, now it seems, I'm the only one?" At this moment, Qin Jiuyuan still didn't have any other superfluous expressions on his face, he just supported his head with one hand and leaned towards Qiu Xuan, "The little girl is suspicious of me, right?" β
"Qin Jiuyuan." Qiu Xuan also called him solemnly once, "I only asked once, and you answered me seriously." Are you a traitor? β
The man restrained his playful expression a little, turned his head to stare at her with an extremely complicated gaze, and for a long time, as if he had been defeated, he sighed lightly. "Okay, okay, if you insist...... I'm not, Qiu Xuan. I'm not. β
"Okay."
"Qiu Xuan......" Gu Qingyue called out to her across the long table, opening her mouth to say something.
"That's enough." Qiu Xuan interrupted her, "Before that, I have something to say. β
She cleared her throat, "First of all, I'll admit that I didn't really take the game seriously in the beginning. I've always had a mindset of being a high-minded and indifferent observer. But now it's different, even if it's for ...... I will also walk through this world seriously. β
"Trust is a really hard thing, so if there is a day, I don't blame anyone. It's a bit hypocritical to say that, but I'm still ...... I'm glad to meet you. β
"Okay, that's the end of the, let's cut to the chase." Qiu Xuan's expression sank, and his cold gaze swept over everyone seated, "Betrayer, according to the information that has been obtained, that person's interests are opposed to other players, and the condition for winning is that his identity is not exposed and all players are eliminated." β
"I had already said it the night we learned of Li Siyao's identity, and at that time, except for Li Siyao β perhaps a Yang Luoluo but now dead β no one else had the conditions or motive to be betrayers. To tell you the truth, this afternoon, I analyzed and recalled countless times, established one hypothesis after another, and then disproved all of them myself. But I still can't find a motive, except for the real madman, everything people do is motivated, but the so-called 'betrayer' has left no trace. β
"It's so clean, it's not like it can be made with a human body."
"Two," Qiu Xuan propped up the table and looked at her two remaining teammates, "Is it possible, we have been caught in a misunderstanding, as if we were deliberately guided by someone." β
"It's not the living that can be a 'betrayer.'"
