It must have been a few months ago, when the redhead was still in Drow City, she seemed to have mentioned something about Chainsaw Man to Qiu Xuan.

The redhead went to the underground black market to negotiate with people, and as he passed by the arena on the first floor, he heard the owner of the arena complaining that the business of the entire basement had been depressed after the Chainsaw Man disappeared from Drow.

Until then, Chainsaw had been the highest streak holder in the arena - and it's not hard to guess, since most of the black market arenas are deathmatches, and the fact that Chainsaw is alive says a lot about it.

It is said that the Chainsaw Man has been in the Famine Proving Ground for almost two years, although it is not earlier than the group of people from the Xihan Pavilion who teleported over, and he can be regarded as a veritable "old man". In the past two years, he has been the holder of the monthly gluttony tournament and the uncrowned champion of the drow's underground arena victories, and with his unexplained evil strength, he can be said to have lived more chic than most executioners in the world of famine.

None of the executioners who have been here a little longer are reluctant to have anything to do with the Chainsaw Man, apart from his overly creepy physical features, and because of that.

It seems that this proving ground itself is tailor-made for him, he is at ease in this world, he doesn't have to worry about food and survival, and no matter what he does, he deserves to be the "first" for a second time.

When the redhead said this, Qiu Xuan felt that he probably understood why the chainsaw man was targeting him like that.

Everyone has been dominating for two years, and as soon as he came up, he won the championship by cheating. Compared to the invisible name of "first" itself, the chainsaw man should not be able to accept a nameless person stepping on his head like this.

Qiu Xuan had always thought so, until this time she was ready to leave Oselle.

The chainsaw man said he saw it, what did he see?

She is not so self-righteous, thinking that she is the embodiment of freedom, the divine light that illuminates the path of the other party, and so on. But just by virtue of so many meetings, in these few meetings, he still locked up the whole person in a ghost place like Osser, and couldn't get out, why did the chainsaw man say that he saw it from her, why did he thank himself?

- "All of us are trapped in this cage. ”

These are the words that the Chainsaw Man uttered in a flash in the pan when Qiu Xuan agreed to join the organization, and his last sentence was: "There is no exit in the cage, so after the people inside are desperate after trying their best, the only way is to vent and kill each other regardless of the means." ”

He was referring to himself, and to all the executioners who had been trapped in the world of famine for far too long. Everyone here has no clue how to clear the level, and it is difficult to even ensure their own survival, let alone struggle with cannibalism before their peers.

When Chainsaw says he sees it, he says he sees it...... Is there a way to get out of the cage?

But if it's just like this, he can "see" like Xi Hanting. After all, if there is anyone in this trial ground who is closest to the final truth, it must be the Xihan Pavilion that has been carefully prepared for three years.

Qiu Xuan grabbed a handful of hair, thought about the chainsaw for a while, and then put it aside, and began to focus on the way to get out of Oser in front of her.

Xi Han Pavilion told them a shortcut before leaving, because the resource mine she had been secretly researching was near one of the beams, so the team of Xi Han Pavilion still found a faint pattern between the continuous back and forth.

Under normal circumstances, stepping on the void of a crack that can directly teleport a person from the beam to the edge of Oser is very small, and the first time Qiu Xuan stepped on the void was purely accidental. Although it is generally possible to find the first rift to be teleported directly to the vicinity of the beam, the location of the rifts can change, and they will move in response to the movement of plates under the ground involving unknown principles, and it is very likely that they will move from the far east to the far west of Osel in just one month.

The Pavilion provides a shortcut to walk along the southwest side of Route 37, and then turn around and walk away from the road for a few minutes when you see a house with a yellow ribbon on the side of the road, and you will step into the first hole. The location of the crack is the arctic corridor in the opposite direction, and then go around the arctic a few times to find the next rift, and step on it to reach the vicinity of a D-level beam.

It sounds easy, but everyone knows that finding these two holes is anything to be taken for granted.

In the worst-case scenario, they had successfully teleported to the Extremely Cold Corridor through the first rift, but the second had already moved to the completely opposite underground, and by that time she and Qin Jiuyuan would have to be trapped in the Extremely Cold Land.

In addition, there is also the safest way, which is to simply go down the official road honestly.

This method is also the most dangerous and time-consuming, after all, the official way is not for people to walk in today's world. Even if Qiu Xuan brought Qin Jiuyuan again, there was no guarantee that they would be able to reach the nearest beam connecting the No. 37 official road all the way safe and sound.

She discussed it with Qin Jiuyuan when she left the official road, and the two of them finally decided to take the risk of taking the route provided by the Xihan Pavilion, after all, the matter of walking in Osel after leaving the organization itself symbolized extreme danger, and staying for one more day would be less safe.

After they made this decision, the two of them immediately increased their speed to find and leave the two rifts before they changed direction.

It took them half a day to go through the experience of stepping on several wrong nearby rifts that caused teleportation failures and then returned, and finally found the rift that the Chill Pavilion said was teleporting to the Arctic Cold Corridor. As soon as the surface of his feet stepped into the frozen range, Qiu Xuan took out two blankets from the accompanying space with a stiff face and wrapped them in them.

It's too cold.

It was late autumn when Qiu Xuan left Drow City, which was equivalent to spending most of the winter in Osier. There is still a month or so left before the last winter solstice in the world, but it won't be as cold as this area.

A lot of people did die this winter, not only in Drow City, but also in places like Osir, where the corpses produced every month can be piled up into mountains, the number of people has probably doubled.

Everything seems to have taken care of the "balance" again, and even the disaster of losing the last source of food supply in winter, the number of people who died at both ends of the beam was "balanced".

Qiu Xuan squinted her eyes and walked forward in the desolate white of the extremely cold corridor, the snow on the ground almost reached her thighs, and the most headache was the gust of wind that blew from time to time.

Who would have thought that after many years, they would be in a snowstorm again? The only good news is probably that Qiu Xuan will not jump into the snow = die directly like she did at the beginning.

The location of the second crack is several times more difficult to find than the one near the official road.

It's hard to move forward in such a hostile environment, let alone find a small crack in the snowy land.

What's worse is that I don't know if it's because I'm really malnourished during this time or what, Qiu Xuan stared at the heavy snow in front of her for a long time except pure white, and began to show faint signs of snow blindness.

Serious executioners, who will be snow blind now?

I'm afraid that I won't be ridiculed and ridiculed by the group of fierce men and women who can kill cattle with one punch in a desperate situation, but the question is who will not be hungry every day in a desperate situation?

Qiu Xuan walked with her eyes sore and felt that her stomach that had just filled a piece of synthetic cake began to cramp, and she continued to look for the crack at first, when she heard a slight sound from her side in the next second.

Could it be that he raised his head in a daze and subconsciously looked for Qin Jiuyuan's location, Qiu Xuan blinked his eyes and found that he could not see.

Have you ever tried to go blind?

Qiu Xuan once went to the Dark Experience Hall with a friend when she was still a native of a certain aqua blue planet. It is the venue that simulates an environment that is completely dark and there is no light, and then accompanied by the guide, visitors hold a blind cane to experience the daily life of the visually impaired.

That experience became a little blurry after a long time, but I didn't feel scared at the time. After all, you know in your heart that there is nothing wrong with your eyes, but the venue is completely dark and there is no light.

What's more, there are friends around you, there are guides in the venue, there are blind canes that can explore the way, and someone is talking to you all the time, guiding you out of the darkness.

But now it's completely different. The scene is still the same blizzard, and the only thing that has gone wrong now is my own eyes.

“…… Renault. ”

Qiu Xuan stood still with her eyes open for a few seconds, the reflected light could not be projected onto the retina, and she suddenly lost her most critical sense. After a long silence, he tentatively shouted the name of the black merchant.

No one responded.

The only good news was that the storm around me sounded a little bit of a stop. If she hadn't guessed wrong, at the last second when Qiu Xuan could barely see just now, the slight sound she heard from her side was probably Qin Jiuyuan stepping into a crack hidden under the snow.

Qiu Xuan tentatively stepped on the spot in her memory a few times, and then when she stepped on the ground in a circle around her, she didn't find a single crack that could be trampled on.

She sighed silently and called out Xiaolu's name.

"You take it easy, uncle, there is a slope ahead."

Xiaolu was forced to take Qiu Xuan's arm and try to walk forward like holding Lafayette, but the latter gently patted her arm with a pair of blank eyes, and said, "You help me see if there is a crack nearby, I shouldn't be moving too far at this time...... bar. ”

"I know, I know, I'm looking for it." Xiaolu is like a child staring at the pond on the ground on a rainy day, and she almost trampled on the snow in the nearby circle. After a while, he stopped and frowned, and his face didn't look very good.

"No, there's nothing around at all...... Do you think Lao Qin can come back by himself? ”

Qiu Xuan was able to sense Qin Jiuyuan's location through the Finger Ring at this moment, which was probably a boundary ten thousand meters away from the Extremely Cold Corridor. But knowing the exact direction didn't mean that she could look for it with a pair of invisible eyes open at the moment, not to mention, it was very likely that the last hole in the time they were delaying now had been removed.

Xiaolu pulled a piece of clothing for her to cover her eyes to avoid the light, stepped on the snow for a while, and suddenly looked ahead vigilantly.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Xuan tilted her head slightly by feeling.

"Someone's coming."

The tone of the people around him suddenly became cold, Qiu Xuan frowned and listened for a long time, and could only faintly detect the sound of the soles of her stumbling on the snow.

"How many?"

Xiaolu squinted her eyes for a long time, "It should be a team, I see that these people know each other." Five people, one of whom looked like a peer. ”

Five people, among whom there was also an executioner.

Qiu Xuan put her arm around Xiaolu and pursed her lips. Now, she couldn't tell what level of strength these comers were at just by her voice, especially the executioner in the team. What's more, she can't see with her eyes now, and it may be difficult for Xiaolu to compete with her alone.

"If you transform now, will you be able to walk away?"

"Estimated hanging." Xiaolu roughly estimated it and then said honestly, "These people didn't happen to be passing by, I just watched them come over after seeing us, obviously they took us as a target, that peer...... Still holding something in hand. What's the matter? ”

"Don't panic." Qiu Xuan's tongue pushed against the inner wall of her mouth, and she listened to the sound of the group rubbing against the snow closer. She raised her hand to tie the fabric tied to her eyelids in a stronger knot, and calmly stood still.

"Just the two of you?"

A voice came from afar, obviously believing that the two of them couldn't run away at all in this kind of ghost place, so they simply let it go and spread it out.

Qiu Xuan couldn't see it, and the person who came was indeed a team of five people as Xiaolu said.
