"What are you anxious about?" Qiu Xuan raised her hand to put the last snack she had taken before leaving into Xiaolu's hand, and stuffed it into her mouth in the latter's "I'm going to vomit" complaint with a roll of his eyes. "It's just three proving grounds, and who knows if there won't be any real adventures. Besides, even if he gave it to Hephaestus, he wouldn't be able to use it at all. ”

As the only shock cannon that combines both magic and mechanics in the Plague Proving Ground and even in the Desperate Realm, the only one that can activate it is the bloodline of the Elpis virus. This is also why Qiu Xuan was able to safely hand it over to Hephaestus for safekeeping when she was at the bottom of the sea before, because she knew that even if he set out to get the weapon, he would not have the ability to activate it.

"It's one thing to use it or not, but do you think that kind of person will spit out what he eats?" Xiaolu was frantically slandering Hephaestus on the side, as if the ten plates of dim sum she had eaten before were not from someone else.

Qiu Xuan smiled and rubbed her fingers against each other a few times.

"Don't worry, I can't spit it out...... It would be nice to use another method. ”

……

Relying on the route in his memory, he touched Linyuan all the way, during which he experienced countless quarrels with Xiaolu because he couldn't find the way, and finally found that the direction of the two was wrong, finally, again, Qiu Xuan stood outside the crooked building door of Linyuan.

Xiaolu got back into the necklace and completed the identification, Qiu Xuan raised her hand and pushed open the heavy door, looking around the interior decoration with black as if she hadn't seen it for a long time.

"......" The white-haired man and the girl named Jiang Jiang were sitting on the sofa, and the two were originally playing a game similar to an arcade machine together, but when they heard the sound, they turned around, and the expression on their faces was a little indescribable.

"Uh, hi?" Qiu Xuan said hello tentatively.

The two of them glanced at her, and then turned back to look at an electronic projection screen hanging above the dining table.

Qiu Xuan followed their line of sight and saw a black and white headshot of herself at the top of the electronic screen. There is also a row of cheap PPT-style subtitles scrolling below, which reads: Although the old man has left us, this cup still has to pay tribute to the free people who are one step ahead! Remember, you are always with us, Qiu Xuan!

Qiu Xuan: "......"

Although she was speechless, in fact, she was still more or less touched in her heart. She didn't come to Linyuan for a long time, and she met these people in Cangwu, Baihexi, Jiangbeihe, etc., and if one day she really died in another world, at least someone could symbolically remember her in this way.

Actually, it's pretty good, after all, I have lived in the memories of others.

This touch lasted until two days later, when she followed Jiang Beihe to the guild next door to exchange supplies. Their guild happened to be dead, and she watched a familiar black and white photo of a strange man on the electronic screen in the guild hall, which was more luxurious and imposing than them. The following words are impressively written: Although the deceased has left us, this cup still has to pay tribute to the free people who are one step ahead! Remember, you are always with us, Lee!

Even the cheap PPT fly-in special effects are exactly the same.

…… Qiu Xuan came back to her senses, and a smile barely squeezed out of the corner of her mouth.

"Well, the fact is that I'm not dead yet, and that's a long story. By the way, are Bai Hexi and Liu Qing back? ”

"I've been back a long time ago, Lao Bai is in the Cangwu room, Qingqing seems to have been injured a little and hasn't recovered yet, and is resting in his room." Jiang Jiang stared at her strangely for a few times at first, and after a while, he lost interest and continued to play the game. "By the way, if you're not dead, then I'll replace your photo first, and I'll hang it up next time I have a chance."

Qiu Xuan: "...... Oh. ”

She said goodbye to the two on the couch and walked up the stairs, meeting a few guild members who were fussing at the sight of her. After a vague perfunctory gesture, she raised her hand and knocked on the door of Cangwu's room.

"Enter."

"See you again."

“……”

“……”

Qiu Xuan stood at the door and looked at the two people sitting inside, then she walked in and closed the door, pulled a chair and sat down next to her, twisted her eyebrows and looked at the silent two people and thought about it: "Yes, I'm not dead for the time being, huh...... Say something? ”

"You don't have a heartbeat, I'll check it myself." Bai Hexi sat opposite Cangwu, a delicate face twisted together to look at her, "So what are you now?" ”

"It's a long story, didn't I have a virus planted by the plague, and then I ran into Kasanjo......" She took a breath and told the two of them about the matter, and after listening to it, Cangwu was silent for two seconds, and then smiled.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be alive." He said with emotion, Bai Hexi immediately looked her up and down a few times, and suddenly remembered something: "But it's not right, then you could have woken up a long time ago, why do you have to drag everyone to lie to everyone, you are dead?" ”

"That's what I'm going to say next." Qiu Xuan took a breath, glanced at Bai Hexi, and finally spoke: "I killed Zhao Yigui." ”

“……”

"What did you say!"

Cang Wu's eyebrows jumped and he subconsciously raised his hand to stop Bai Hexi, who stood up, and then glanced at Qiu Xuan with a headache, working like two parents who were not worried about mischievous children. "No, I was still discussing this matter with He Xi just now...... How could you kill him? Oh no, that's not the point, no, did you say you killed him? ”

"I watched Ru Ru die in front of me with my own eyes, and things will be more troublesome after I don't kill him, and besides, if he wants to harm me, I have to do it first."

Cangwu sighed and glanced at Bai Hexi, who had fallen silent again.

"Well, it's actually ......"

Bai Hexi: "Good kill." ”

"Hexi?"

"It's okay Cangwu, I've already asked about it, Yan Yan's incident was really not done by him at the beginning, but it has something to do with him......" Speaking of this, Bai Hexi closed his eyes and seemed to not want to reminisce too much. He sighed and patted Cangwu's shoulder, "In this case, we will save trouble in the future, you don't care about this matter, I'll check it myself." ”

"As for you, don't do such a thing as coming back from the dead in the future, you can't afford to be scared when you're old."

Qiu Xuan raised his eyes to look at him, Bai Hexi lowered his eyelids, and for a moment of rest, it seemed that he was about to carry all the wind and frost on his shoulders. The next second he regained his previous appearance, raised his hand and waved casually at the two people in the room, turned and walked out of the room.

"When others ask about Zhao Yigui, you say you don't know, don't say that you killed the person, do you know?" Bai Hexi finally looked back at her and said, "Thank you for this." I...... I thank you for Yanyan. ”

Qiu Xuan didn't speak.

The two watched in silence as the man walked out of the room, and after a moment of silence in the air, Qiu Xuan coughed, "Yanyan, is it the vice president of Linyuan before?" ”

"You got it?" Cangwu sighed heavily, "Her name is Yan Hui, and she ...... before Well, it's not a secret, but it's not appropriate for me to tell you, you know? If you want to know, Hexi should tell you later, first ...... Don't ask. ”

"Okay."

"By the way, Qiu Xuan, have you figured out which direction you want to go in the future? That Cassandro you mentioned...... It doesn't feel like she's on the right track for you. It's a bit too anxious for quick success, in fact, this is not good, and you killed Zhao Yigui, it's really too risky, you have to know ......"

Qiu Xuan sat on the spot and listened patiently to all the words that Cangwu babbled, and replied one by one, seeing that the other party pursed her lips and fell silent again, she stood up and said goodbye to him.

After enduring the shouting greetings of Jiangbei Crane, saying hello to Liu Qing, who had recovered from the infection, and helplessly explaining the reason to them again, she finally ushered in one of her few leisure and rest times.

Qiu Xuan lies on the bed in her room, although the desperate situation is daylight all year round, but under the special blackout curtains and indoor environment simulation, they can still enjoy the rare silence of "night" in the room. It's just that it's rare that you don't have to worry about worrying that you will choke in your sleep, but it's a little unaccustomed.

She turned back and forth dozens of times, but she still couldn't help but call Xiaolu out of the necklace.

"I've long since found out, women, oh no, you humans are exactly what you deserve." Xiaolu unceremoniously occupied most of her bed, thought about it, took out a handful of nuts and began to swallow them. "It's too tired to live, just rest when it's time to rest, are you still starting to miss the line of life and death in the trial ground?"

Qiu Xuan: "Even if you say that, you still can't eat in my bed." ”

Xiaolu began to roll her eyes at her.

"Actually, when I was in the proving ground, I missed the idle life, but now that I'm really idle, I'm not used to it."

"This is the first day you've come back," Xiaolu looked at her with indescribable eyes, "I think you're just reluctant to give up your cheap boyfriend." Oh yes, speaking of which, in fact, I have long wanted to ask, what is his identity, and why do you meet him in every trial? ”

Qiu Xuan stared at the ring on her finger in the darkness and blinked. "I want to ask too, didn't you say that he was also a executioner?"

"That's definitely not an ordinary executioner, maybe it's the kind of executor with a special mission."

"What special task, to fall in love with someone else?" Qiu Xuan snorted and lay down again under Xiaolu's gaze. "You say, if I go out to the trial ground again after a few days of rest this time, will the people of Linyuan be suspicious?"

"I'll suspect you're also a perverted murderer."

"Well, I'm going to have to find a better reason to do it."

There was a sudden silence on the other side. Xiaolu patted her fingers with scarlet nail polish, calmly took what she ate back into her necklace, and turned her head to look at the person lying next to her through a dark curtain. "Qiu Xuan, I'll just ask, you can also choose not to answer."

"Are you really going to stay with that guy all the time?"

The man answered her quickly, without much hesitation. "Always, how long? There's no guarantee that I won't die suddenly in the next trial, and no one can guarantee that this will be the last time I'll see him. ”

"But even if I don't have a concept of accurate time, I'm always willing."

Xiaolu snorted and fell back on the bed as well. "You really are still persuading others to break up one by one, and as a result, you are a love brain."

"It always feels like I've known him for a long, long time."

"Don't come with me." Xiaolu kicked her, "Do you want to say that you are destined?" I almost vomited. ”

"It's not." Qiu Xuan looked at the darkness with her eyes open, she seemed to have always liked to do this action, although there was nothing in the dark. "I don't know how to describe it, but it's been since the time of the villa, and it's like ...... It's like we're one. ”

Xiaolu: "?? Do you know what you're talking about? ”

"Well, I can trust him completely for no reason, even if he has amnesia and is on opposing sides, without worrying that he will be against me. Although at the beginning I knew that he had been hiding things from me, including pulling me into that inexplicable world, it was angry to be angry. But not because he was angry about the fact that he deceived me, but ......"

"And what?"

"I don't know."

Xiaolu: "Did anyone tell you before when you were alive that it was really tiring to have this kind of girl's heart-to-heart conversation with you?" ”

Qiu Xuan: "I don't talk to people. ”

Xiaolu: "? ”

Qiu Xuan: "Maybe you're not a human being anymore, and you're not a girl." ”

Xiaolu: "I'll kill you right now." ”

"Ah, I'm feeling a little sleepy." Qiu Xuan stretched out her arms and covered the quilt a little. "I decided to stay here for a week and then leave. The virus conversion still needs to be familiar with it first, some necessities and weapons still need time to change, and the space must be expanded, and then practice in the training ground for a few days. ”

Xiaolu was still immersed in the previous unhappiness, and said unceremoniously when she heard this: "With all due respect, the vast majority of people here will not try without delaying the deadline, do you think there is any difference between a week and a few days in the eyes of others?" ”

"Who cares what they think, everyone here is already tired of their own affairs." Qiu Xuan sighed with emotion and waved her hand vaguely at Xiaolu. "I'm really sleepy, good night."

"Tsk."

Xiaolu sat alone in the dark and sulked for a while, and then figured out what to react to, and turned her eyes to look at the person who had fallen asleep in an instant. She was still tired after all, and the girl who had just crawled out of the pile of dead a few hours ago was now sleeping soundly with the quilt in her arms, as if she was really completely defenseless.

Thinking of something, Xiaolu suddenly smiled. She wrapped the birdcage necklace around the man's wrist again, and the next second, Qiu Xuan was the only one left in the room.
