Chapter 254: Embrace the Truth
"What are you running?"
Qiu Xuan fired two shots at the figure in the shadows who fled in a hurry, and recognized that it was the Ran they were looking for, and she was not very worried about whether the two shots that were placed indiscriminately would hit her - with her ghost marksmanship, she couldn't have hit it - Qing Baichuan and his party, who had not gone far on the other side, rushed over after hearing the movement, and Tuan Tuan easily surrounded Ran.
Ran glanced up at them from his wide hood, and pursed his lips with a pale face.

Ran glanced up at them from his wide hood, and pursed his lips with a pale face.
"You know how the formation is destroyed." Qing Baichuan was unceremonious, and the long knife swept away and rested on Ran's neck without the slightest mercy. "Now you have two choices, the first is to destroy the formation and let everyone out, and the second is to die."

He snorted and didn't speak.
Qing Baichuan snorted, and the handle of the knife in his hand was sent forward again. "I don't have that much patience."
"Because of the destruction of the formation, the worm of Zerig broke into the village, so will Lyme Village also cease to exist?" Holding his arms and looking at it for a while, Qiu Xuan suddenly spoke on the side. Ran suddenly looked up at her with a frame that almost broke her neck, and she shrugged her shoulders and said, "I guess." ”
“……”
"What are you doing here?"
Qing Baichuan dragged Ran to the back and hid it, turned around and said coldly: "What's the matter with you, I thought we had already broken up." ”
Mo Fang walked out of the low grass behind him, and the Rubik's Cube in his palm flashed with inorganic cold light in the night.
"Don't hide," he said, "I see it all." Why, we're barely a victim now, are you really going to leave me and run away alone? ”
Although I don't know what happened between Qing Baichuan and Mo Fang, it can be seen that when Qiu Xuan sold Qing Baichuan to ask for cooperation with Barry's affairs, it may also be because she broke with Mo Fang a long time ago, so she agreed so easily.
"Don't be in a hurry to reject me just yet." Mo Fang lifted the electronic Rubik's Cube in his hand twice, "It's not easy for you to accomplish, you need my help, one more person has a better chance of winning, isn't it?" ”
Abu was noncommittal, and Ethan did not object by name. Qing Baichuan snorted coldly, and suddenly turned his head to look at Qiu Xuan, "You choose one." ”
Qiu Xuan was a little confused, "What are you talking about?" ”
"First of all, I don't agree to be in the same space as him. Whether to choose me or him, you decide. ”
That's what I said.
Qiu Xuan felt a little funny, but no matter what, she would not give up Qingbaichuan and beg for the ink release with unknown details. She shrugged, "Of course it's you." ”
"Hear that," Qing Baichuan raised his chin, "Get out of here, if you appear in front of me next time, I'll kill you." ”
Mo Fang's eyes sank, "That woman is just a brainless player, and you hold a grudge against me for not stopping Barry until now?" ”
Before he finished speaking, a lightning bolt exploded in front of him. Mo Fangtuo raised his palm and jumped back to a safe area, and Qing Baichuan's long knife swept away, his expression was terrifyingly cold. "You don't deserve to mention her, you, you people, who are you qualified to mention her?"
"Ridiculous."
It seems that seeing that they are numerous, they can't take advantage of the hard fight now, Mo Fang glanced at the crowd coldly, and a few ups and downs disappeared into the shadows, leaving only a meaningful sentence: "I see what it will be like for you to regret it then." ”
Behind him, Qing Baichuan's disdainful sneer was about to sound in the sky.
The group stood in place for a while, just in case, they decided to go back to the low grass where Lily and Abu were first, after all, the previous movement was too big, and they were afraid that it would attract the villagers of Lyme.
A few people were afraid of trouble, but Abu was still responsible for dragging Ran to prevent her from escaping, but when the group returned the same way, they found that the hidden clearing had been occupied.
It's not just the production crew, it's another group of Lyme villagers.
There were about eight or nine scattered around, and they were gobbling up a pool of flesh and blood at this time.
One of the villagers whispered something in the village language, and the people behind them sped up eating. The group of them acted sneakily, and they didn't dare to light a fire at night, the meat was completely raw, and they were directly torn off the white bones of Sen Sen and stuffed into their mouths. Barton's head rolled to the side, his dead eyes staring straight at him.
Next, the nine villagers devoured their share of the meat and cast their hungry eyes on the severed heads.
The bone marrow was tasted with relish, and the chewing sound between the lips and teeth was amplified countless times in such a night, and the tiny pieces of minced flesh stuck between the dirty yellow teeth were carried to the ground by splashes of saliva between the opening and closing.
Soon there was only one skeleton left on the dead head.
"What did they just say?" Qing Baichuan asked very calmly, the witch hesitated for a while, but still whispered: "Originally, it was not their turn to eat today, they should be ...... Sneak out and kill someone, and then take the villagers behind their backs to solve it. ”
"Got it." The red-lipped woman untied the long knife from her shoulder and wiped the back of the spatula with her fingertips. "I'll do it directly, you feel free."
As she spoke, she swooped forward on tiptoe, her long knives in both hands cutting a bloody path through the panicked crowd. Ethan glanced back at Qiu Xuan, and then also drew a gentleman's cane and attacked.
Abu clenched his fists and lunged behind Ethan to block the palm that came from behind him.
In fact, it is enough for these people to deal with these villagers, Qin Jiuyuan's camera has been turned off, but Qiao is still there. In this case, Qiu Xuan naturally didn't want to go down again, and was just about to lift the short knife, on the other side, Qin Jiuyuan held Qiao's lens and deviated a few points to the left, completely aiming at the few people who were currently fighting, completely blocking her out of the camera.
"If you don't want to fight, stop fighting, and rest for a while."
"Okay."
So relying on the camera not to be on his side, the two of them were standing on the side to watch the play and paddling. The white of Joe's eyes were about to rot in his heart, but he still didn't turn around half a minute to record them into the live broadcast.
“…… What are you going to do when you get out? ”
Feeling the hesitation of the people around him, Qiu Xuan waited patiently for a long time, but he didn't expect that what Qin Jiuyuan wanted to say turned out to be this.
"Hmm...... I'll have to get rid of Ryder's case first, I joined a rebel group this afternoon, so it's a lot easier to solve if you have the same goal. And then ...... Selected as one of the top 10 most popular players of the year, that's pretty much it. ”
"You can follow me back to the industrial zone!"
Qin Jiuyuan blurted out, then reacted and turned his head back as if covering up, and explained sullenly: "That's where I was born, it's far away from the main city, except for the exhaust gas from the operation of industrial machinery, everything else should be fine." The organization you're a member of...... If you feel constrained, you don't have to cater to them, you can come with me. Whether it's the organization or Ryder, I'm not going to let them touch you. ”
As he spoke, the look in his eyes began to light up.
"If you don't want to stay in one place all the time, it's okay, we can go anywhere. If you don't want to live in seclusion, you can continue to be on the show, I can accompany you. Anyway, we still have a long time to go, and you can do everything you want. ”
“……”
You can do everything you want.
We still have a long way to go.
Qiu Xuan smiled, almost crying on the spot for these few simple words. In fact, she has been thinking about one thing, that is, what will happen if she completes the trial by then, she does not step through that door, does not return to despair, but chooses to spend this life in this trial ground.
Together with Qin Jiuyuan, live this life.
It sounded so wonderful that I couldn't help but shudder just thinking about it, and I almost nodded in surrender.
At that time, Cassandra said that no one could afford not to return to a desperate situation in time after the portal opened after the end of the trial, just look at her current appearance. Sometimes she was the powerful and awake necromancer of the past, sometimes she was a mad priestess, and the longer she stayed in the Proving Ground, the shorter she was awake, and in the end, the end result was complete assimilation with the people of that world, and she could not remember all the brilliant or tragic memories of the first half of her life.
Actually, in a way, that sounds pretty good.
Tired of the life of life and death in a desperate situation, tired of the identity of the executioner, tired of shuttling through the other world day after day. As long as you don't step into that door, as long as you choose a small world that still has a good feeling and stay here completely, you can turn back into the ordinary person of the past and live this life ordinarily.
I will no longer remember everything related to desperation, I will not know that there are overriding rulers above all living beings, I will not think that there are countless parallel planes in different planes besides the world I am in, I will not think that I am a snake all day long, and I will not remember the world where I was born in the first place, the real homeland that I cannot return to.
In a way, it's not bad.
But Qiu Xuan also knew that it was impossible for her to choose such a path.
Or it can be said that although even she doesn't want to admit it, she scolds the testing ground of this dog day on her lips, and sometimes her blood is faintly in her heart for such a life. Somewhere deep in her blood, she was indeed boiling with the unknown for the sake of adventure.
She always remembered that there was a series of famous movies called "The Matrix" in the native world, in which the protagonist suddenly found that the real world he was in one day was not a real reality, but a virtual world simulated and controlled by an artificial intelligence matrix. Some people woke up and resolutely chose to fight against the matrix and returned to the painful real world, while the vast majority of people stayed in the virtual world woven by sweet dreams, blinded but ignorant and happy to live their lives.
Qiu Xuan was thinking at that time, if he was also a person living in the matrix, which kind of life would he choose.
The truth is bleak, the truth is untouchable, and anyone who peeks into the truth will pay the price, so sometimes there is nothing wrong with being ignorant.
But again, there is nothing wrong with it, it doesn't mean that she will choose.
There is nothing wrong with some people who like to be comfortable and plain, and there is nothing wrong with some people who are born for freedom and adventure.
What does true freedom look like?
Xiaolu had asked her this, and she had asked herself. As long as they are in a desperate situation as an executioner for a day, will absolute freedom really exist in these people?
Maybe, maybe he will be in the cage until he dies. Who knows?
But whether it is being selected to become a executioner and coming to a desperate situation, or nothing has happened, as an ordinary person in the original world, he has lived an ordinary life. For that question, Qiu Xuan's choice will also only be one.
She would rather die with the truth than live in the virtual fabric of dreams and lies.
With Qin Jiuyuan, in this world, she was unwilling to live this life and then be blinded and die happily.
Taking 10,000 steps back, her life as an ordinary person is over, but Qin Jiuyuan is different, even if she empties her memory for unknown reasons, she is still the "darkness" of the dominator in essence.
When she died, Qin Jiuyuan happily went to find a little lover again and again?
Are you kidding.
Since he was given to her, he gave it all to her.
Qiu Xuan turned his head to look at Qin Jiuyuan beside him, and said seriously: "After being selected as one of the top ten popular players this year, I am leaving." ”
"Let......'s go," the man turned his head suddenly, as if he hadn't reacted yet. Where to go? You don't want to be with me anymore? Then why kiss me? Are you such a person? Do you just not want to be responsible? Hmph, I know, you just regret it and don't want to be responsible! ”
"Where did you get so much drama?"
Qiu Xuan was helpless, "It's just a temporary separation for a while, rest assured, I will soon be out of a desperate situation...... Desperate is where we stay like a transit station, and I'll have the next trial soon, and we'll see each other again. ”
Qin Jiuyuan glared at her and didn't speak.
"Really, I promise."
Like coaxing a child, the roles of daring are now completely reversed. Qiu Xuan was a little funny, but she still swore seriously, "I will definitely see you again." - unless you regret that you don't want to be together anymore. ”
