Twelve o'clock in the night.

As a player who doesn't stay up late, unless there are very special circumstances, Qiu Xuan generally falls asleep early at this point. At the very least, it is also lying in bed and playing with mobile phones to brew sleepiness.

In short, it is impossible to stand in front of someone else's door with a knife like a habitual burglary - if it weren't for the fact that the knife was too small, I would be the hero of "The Shining" himself now. Qiu Xuan spit on herself in her heart.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Qiu Xuan was startled, and reflexively inserted the dagger back into his waist pocket. Gu Qingyue didn't look very surprised when she saw it, she just opened the door and leaned sideways to let her in.

"I have something to tell you."

"You're not even coming to me until now?" Gu Qingyue poured her a glass of water, and her tone was slightly complaining, "I've been waiting for you since dinner, and I almost fell asleep." ”

"I'm sorry, but what I wanted to say is...... My hand was scratched, can you help me take a look? ”

"Huh?" Gu Qingyue looked at her suspiciously, obviously feeling a little inexplicable.

"It really hurts."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingyue became serious, and asked, "How did you get it?" While dutifully digging out her small medicine box, he took Qiu Xuan's hand.

"Hey, you don't have ......"

"What do you think of Qin Jiuyuan?" Qiu Xuan interrupted her abruptly and asked an irrelevant question.

Gu Qingyue was confused, and then she saw Qiu Xuan winking at her, writing something under the layers of gauze with her unscathed hand.

Gu Qingyue reacted and said with bated breath: "Qin Jiuyuan, this person is not bad. She was dual-minded, pretending to wrap gauze around Qiu Xuan's hand, while carefully distinguishing her strokes-

At the end of the corridor on the third floor, hourglass.

She frowned, not quite understanding how that place was connected to the hourglass. Immediately, I heard Qiu Xuan suddenly stand up and say, "I have to go back, I have other things." "It's like I'm deliberately saying it to someone.

Qiu Xuan walked to the door, turned back to her and said, "Thank you for helping me bandage." Then when he turned back completely, he gently compared his mouth shape to a "nightmare".

Gu Qingyue froze in place, and in a flash of light, she remembered where the end of the third floor was—that was the place where they first met the nightmare on the night of the party. It's just that how could Qiu Xuan have anything to do with nightmares? She sat there and hesitated for a while, but finally made up her mind, packed up her equipment, pushed the door and walked out.

At the same time, Qiu Xuan stood outside Qin Jiuyuan's door, only to feel that the dagger on his back was so cold that it seemed to frostbite that piece of skin. She closed her eyes as if she had made up her mind, and then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly—as if the owner of the room had already prepared—and Qin Jiuyuan propped up the door frame with one hand and raised an eyebrow at her.

"So this is...... Midnight Benefit Time? ”

Qiu Xuan: "You're thinking about fart." ”

She squeezed into the door sideways, raised her foot and took two steps, and suddenly retreated to Qin Jiuyuan's side and stood still, clearing her throat, "Are you interested in an exciting basement adventure?" ”

Qin Jiuyuan: ?

"What about you," Qiu Xuan glared at him, "yes, no, yes, fun, fun?" ”

Qin Jiuyuan: "...... Yes. ”

"Okay, let's go."

Qiu Xuan walked out first, and the man behind him closed the door sideways a little helplessly.

The two walked in the dark night, and Qiu Xuan almost skillfully pulled down the ring pull device in the stairwell on the first floor. And this time, she held up her flashlight, regardless of the disapproval of the people around her, and walked down before Qin Jiuyuan.

She was leaning against the wall and had just cleared her throat when she heard Qin Jiuyuan's voice.

"Actually," she heard someone behind her speak in a deep voice, "I've said it before, I'm always on your side if you want." ”

"So, if there's something I can't do, just ask."

“……”

"Even if you are allowed to die?" In the lower and lower temperature, Qiu Xuan's voice seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

"As long as you want."

"Qin Jiuyuan." She suddenly stopped on the long almost ninety-degree steps, "I really don't understand you sometimes, you always do. Wishful thinking to say something vague and willing to pay for me. And whenever I ask you, you will only perfunctory me and say that you will know later. After the future, how long do you mean by the future, and will there really be a 'future'? ”

"What are you fooling about? Maybe you're doing it for my good, but have you ever thought about it, do I need this, do I want it? We've only known each other for a long time, why are you saying this to me, why are you doing this for me? ”

“……”

"Forget it," Qiu Xuan calmed down a bit, "just when I'm depressed at night, you shouldn't have heard it." ”

"Because I owe you, little girl."

“…… What the? ”

"I owe you, and I don't expect you to forgive me." In the endless night, Qin Jiuyuan's voice seemed to be wrapped in thick darkness and became unreal, and he said:

"To be precise, the one who pulled you into this world is me."

In an instant, Qiu Xuan seemed to have lost the ability to speak. She stood stunned on the almost vertical staircase, stiff as a statue.

She asked Gu Qingyue to do something, carefully planned the plan for one night, and repeatedly reworked the plan countless times, at this moment, it was like a joke.

I don't know how long it has been, but the passage of time has become meaningless. "Give me a reason." She said.

"There's no reason." Qin Jiuyuan paused, "If you have to say it, because you are Qiu Xuan." ”

Qiu Xuan sneered absurdly, and in the next second, she was hugged from behind.

"I'm sorry, little girl." Qin Jiuyuan's voice was close to her ears, and the warm snort sprayed on her neck, and it was so trance that it didn't seem real.

Suddenly there was a loud bang above the stairwell, followed by a bloodthirsty roar from the darkness of unknown monsters, and the hiss grew louder and louder, until the entire ground floor of the villa began to shake like an earthquake.

Qiu Xuan raised her head to look at the board that kept falling down the wall ash, and then up she seemed to be able to hear the nightmare's familiar laughter, and she closed her eyes meaninglessly-

The first embrace between them was accompanied by the blood and violence of the killing, with the fragility and insignificance of human beings in the face of the supernatural, with the deepest darkness that seemed to be endless, with deception and trust, until they fell together into the endless abyss.

The sharp blade sank into her body, and the warm blood stained her.

The sound of broken silk.

Likin bursts.

The true god finally fell from the shrine, and the blood of the god slid over her as if to give her an alternative crown.
