They didn't get to see Hephaestus.

Also, if you think about it, it's been quite a while since the last trial of the Ship of Fools, unless it's someone like Qiu Xuan who rushes through the motions, and it's almost time for Hephaestus' next trial.

Later, Qiu Xuan followed Jiang Beihe to the Dead Dog Guild where Ye Qing was located, signaling that he had completed the entrusted task and brought the person back alive, and by the way, he asked for the balance of the deposit after returning to another part.

The president of the Dead Dog Guild is a very good-looking woman, and sometimes she is even so kind that she reminds Qiu Xuan of the proprietress who used to cut a few more slices of watermelon every time she bought a watermelon in the fruit store downstairs. Later, it wasn't until they walked out of the guild after saying goodbye to Ye Qing that Jiang Beihe let out a sigh of relief next to him as if he was relieved, and said: "How could this person be in the guild today, she scared me to death just now, do you know that she used to single-handedly kill from Fuhai Casino to Taze Desert?" The corpse's blood had not been drained for three days, and one part of the desert area was still red. ”

Qiu Xuan: West ———— melon ——————

In addition to completing the task of bringing newcomers in a short period of time and earning a small reward, there may be another good thing that can be regarded as a good thing - Bai Hexi has returned from the trial ground.

When she knew the news, Qiu Xuan was soaking in the training room day and night as usual, and that day Jiang Jiang knocked on the door and told her that not only Bai Hexi, but Liu Qing also successfully came out of her third person trial alive. Several members of the recent trial have basically returned, and in order to celebrate that everyone is lucky to be alive, Cangwu organized a dinner party at his own expense.

Stingy guilds, poor bosses, self-paying, dinners, going out to eat, eating good.

Taken together, the above words almost form an incredible message.

The place chosen by Cangwu is opposite the oblique angle of the cyberpunk area, which is a more common one-stop entertainment and catering service, and the entire building is covered by their entertainment industry.

Qiu Xuan was still wondering how it was desperate and graded, but later learned that it was because there were minors among the people who came out to dinner this time. It's the girl who has to stand up with an arm thicker than her thighs of more than 1.9 meters, and she is a proper minor according to both the standards of the aboriginal world and the general standards of desperate situations.

"Hello, I'm Yuhir."

They met at the gate of Linyuan, and the so-called underage girl greeted her calmly with her head down. Qiu Xuan was forced to look up at the other party and speak, "Qiu Xuan." ”

"Hmm."

"Hmm."

“……”

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and at this time, there were only two of them who remained in the Linyuan headquarters, and the two of them set off from the headquarters, and they spent more time speechless than communicating along the way.

On the way to the entertainment area, a girl named Yuhir walked beside her, and suddenly said coldly, "It must be not easy for people on your planet to live, right?" ”

Qiu Xuan: "? ”

"Well, I think it's not easy for everyone to stay alive." Unclear what she said for her purpose, Qiu Xuan tried her best to think about it, "I don't know how you came to this conclusion?" ”

"Some of our human cubs are taller than you." Yuhir said, "Of course, I also know that the planes are different, and if they are all according to this standard, then Jiang ...... Ahem, in short, the vast majority of people in this place look weak. ”

Qiu Xuan felt a little funny for a while, but she didn't ask the other party how the original world lived as soon as she came up, as if she was checking the household registration, she only said one sentence. "Well, sometimes you can't just look at your appearance, everyone's strengths are different."

"We only look at appearances." Yuhir was unconvinced, "The most powerful Tata warrior in our clan, who is nearly three meters tall, is a truly powerful hero who stands up to the sky, and I will become such a person in the future." ”

may be preconceived, or it may be that You Hill has shown a calm and calm side in the short period of time from the beginning, and it is only now that Qiu Xuan really has a little inexplicable emotion of "still a child".

She listened to the other party's praise of the hero of the original world with an indescribable kindness, and it seemed as if she had finally opened the conversation box and began to talk about her own experience, and when she heard Yuhir finish talking about her childhood, they were almost in the cyberpunk area.

"Very good, the warrior you mentioned must be very imposing."

"Of course! He's the guy I look up to in the most important part of the world, oh it should be ...... now All the most adored people in the world! ”

Qiu Xuan smiled, and just wanted to say something, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the Jiangbei crane waiting under the flowery and green high-rise building opposite.

"Why are you here now?" The woman with brilliant purple hair walked towards them menacingly, "Do you know how long I've been waiting here, do you know what people passing by think of me?!" If it weren't for Cangwu's fear that people like you who haven't been out for a long time will get lost in Huahua World, how dare you make me wait so long! ”

"Why are you scolding me?" Qiu Xuan was a little stunned by the splitting of his head and face, "It's not that it's still ......"

Jiang Beihe quickly interrupted, "Yuhir is still just a child. ”

Qiu Xuan: "...... That's right. ”

Yuhir: "Who, little man, are you looking down on?" ”

Jiangbei Crane: "......"

Qiu Xuan: "Hah. ”

The colorful hair of the Jiangbei Crane in the rear stood up as fast as the most powerful Tata warrior, and Yuhir was entangled with her, and Qiu Xuan walked in front and pressed the floor of the levitating elevator.

"It's a novelty." She leaned down and looked at the inner wall of the elevator around her, which was like four walls of air supporting people up, Jiang Beihe turned his head and rolled his eyes at her in the space of teaching children, and said: "I said that I usually let you go out more and go out more, why are you so not on the stage?" Don't play that, everyone is watching us! ”

Qiu Xuan didn't hear it, and after a while, she watched the "transparent wall" in front of her slowly pull open, revealing a few familiar faces.

Qiu Xuan: "Huh." ”

Cangwu stood at the forefront, and a smile appeared on his face that had been tight on weekdays. His face looked a little red, as if he had been forced to pour several bottles of wine. "Congratulations on your lives, Qiu Xuan, Yuhir."

Yes, ten minutes ago, Qiu Xuan just knew that the girl named Yuhir, like Liu Qing, had just come out of the third solo trial ground.

"Xuanxuan, long time no see!"

"Hi, Qiu Xuan."

"Yo, the kid has grown a little taller again, why are you so tall now, when will you break through two meters?"

"Yuhir! Congratulations on clearing the solo dungeon!! ”

After Cangwu's face that seemed to have drunk too much, those colleagues in Linyuan who were familiar with or only had one-sided acquaintances smiled and raised their glasses or said such a greeting.

Unexpectedly, what Qiu Xuan didn't like the most before was that everyone forcibly found a topic of greeting before the dinner began, but at this moment, she looked at these "peers" who were either familiar or not so familiar, and she actually had an inexplicable sense of belonging that "should be like this".

To be honest, she is a person who does not have much sense of collective honor, and in her own words, she is a lone wolf.

Entering Linyuan was essentially an accident, partly because of Bai Hexi's coercion and temptation, and partly because of the helplessness of being wanted by Baoqin at that time. After joining the guild, she began to act like a leveling madman in the eyes of others who rushed to the proving ground, and when she was desperate, she spent most of her time in the training room of the simulation field, which is said to be the only one that she spent a lot of money on, and except for a few familiar members, she rarely socialized with other members.

However, today, at this moment when I don't know if it can be regarded as "team building", Qiu Xuan thinks, "It's pretty good."

The elevator that brought them up before stopped not at that floor, but at the next floor.

The facilities inside the entire skyscraper are similar, divided into compartments, and the catering and entertainment services are all carried out in the cubicles booked by the guests. Although it is said to be a "cubicle", it is so big at a glance that she can already see the buffet seats, the bar, the game room, and even the corner of a simulated space pool - of course, it is all green and healthy mode.

In fact, she had reasonable suspicions that Lin Yuan's funds simply did not support the need to invite additional service personnel to come over.

"See you again."

Qiu Xuan bent over to look at the colorful unknown drinks on the shelf, and a slightly pretentious voice came from the side, she turned her head and saw a delicate and beautiful face unexpectedly.

"Do you want to tell the truth? In fact, since the last time you went out, I felt like you probably wouldn't come back, I didn't expect it. ”

Bai Hexi raised one eyebrow high, just looking at the expression on his face at the moment, he couldn't see the slightest abnormality. "It's sad to have you talking like that."

Qiu Xuan shrugged her shoulders and symbolically raised her glass to touch him in the air, copying Cangwu's words before. "Anyway, congratulations on being alive."

Last time, after returning from the Fool's Ship, she probably learned something about Bai Hexi and the former vice president of Linyuan called Yan Hui. Yan Hui died inexplicably in a testing ground, Bai Hexi couldn't accept the reality, unlike Qiu Xuan, he would also choose such frequent and uninterrupted trials, because of the hurdle in his heart that could never be overcome, he wanted to find the truth about Yan Hui's death.

Qiu Xuan would say that he felt that he couldn't come back this time because after the last time, Bai Hexi's state was really bad to the naked eye.

If he used to deliberately make himself look so pretentious because of his personality, after returning from the Ship of Fools, the "deliberateness" on his face was gone.

The whole person seems to be just a bone supported by "obsession", and when the obsession is gone, he will dissipate.

Qiu Xuan quietly opened up a little necromantic space, although it was almost destroyed, at least the foundation was still there. Looking at Bai Hexi's location through the dead qi of the undead, he found that the shadow death qi that had shrouded him that was once impenetrable seemed to have indeed slowed down a lot.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked, "How long have you been in this trial, how long have you been in the venue over there?" ”

Bai Hexi smiled, "Two years." ”

Qiu Xuan: "Huh." ”

"Is the task difficult?"

"It's not that hard." Bai Hexi picked up a cup from the side and drank it, looking far away as if he was reminiscing. "The main line is not difficult, but a lot of it is very troublesome, smelly and long, hehehehehe......"

He suddenly began to laugh inexplicably, using the familiar "Bai He Hip-style laughter". "But it's fulfilling, at least...... I no longer have time to get caught up in endless memories. And until the end of that world, I felt, it was too boring. ”

Qiu Xuan was still waiting for him to say something about his life realization, after all, the change in attitude from Bai Hexi's departure to the present all showed that something must have happened in that trial that changed his mentality, but he didn't expect to wait for a sentence in the end, "It's too boring." ”

"What kind of realization is this?" Qiu Xuan raised her eyebrows.

"I'm just bored." Bai Hexi put down the cup and looked at her with the face that shone in the artificial light. "The most real and intuitive thing is my attitude towards that trial."

"I've always been in this kind of 'boredom.'" He said, "Since then, every trial has been the same feeling for me, and I thought it was unwilling or resentful, but the last second I left that world, I understood that it was boredom. ”

"My desire to 'live' is no longer as clear as when I first entered a desperate situation, and my attitude towards trials is no longer filled with contradictory awe and contempt, and I have continued with a boredom until I first recognized this emotion of mine."

Qiu Xuan glanced at her, "What about Yanyan?" You're not going to pursue it? ”

"Of course not." Bai Hexi's answer was also very quick, "I will let the person who killed Yan Yan directly or indirectly pay for his life, but I think it is not until now that I finally understand how she felt at that time." ”

The extremely delicate man closed his eyes and looked up, through the thin layer of eyelids, his eyeballs fluttering slightly under the artificial light, and he could almost see a layer of cyan nerves covering them. "I finally stood in Yanyan's perspective and realized her 'boring', and now I am on the same path as her. I prefer to call it, 'The Way Home.'" ”

"No one knows where this journey will end, and I'm going to keep going that way."

"Xuanxuan, this is what I 'felt'."

He said this until Cangwu drank too much and shouted on the side.

"Lao Bai! Qiu Xuan! What are you two doing there, don't be lonely, I'll tell you, hurry up and get over to Lao Tzu! …… Don't pull me! ”

Qiu Xuan finally determined that Cangwu had indeed drunk too much.

"Let's go." Bai Hexi looked at Cangwu, who was surrounded by several people and couldn't be pulled, laughed again, and took the lead in raising his feet and walking towards the most dazzling place of the artificial light.
