I don't know if it was the plague virus or the influence of the undead knife, countless dead bones hovered and roared in this galaxy, but because of the eerie and gorgeous nebula morning light next to it, this symbol of decay did not look eerie and terrifying, and even death became romantic.

Qiu Xuan was in the hanging river, her body, her thoughts, her soul, at this moment, merged with the broken light.

"See? You should see it, isn't it a space like a cosmic galaxy? You go forward, keep walking, and you will be able to see. In his ears, the inspector was still chattering, and Qiu Xuan walked forward along the flickering glow, as if he was about to reach the end of time.

And in the deepest part of the stars, there was nothing.

"Hey, young man! Where are you going, it's already here! The inspector shouted as he looked at the data displayed on the machine, frowning and muttering to himself in confusion. It shouldn't be.,It stands to reason that the result can be detected here.,Why is it still not displayed? ”

Qiu Xuan ignored this, she stared intently at the surging darkness at the end of the stars, there was nothing in it, but it seemed to be the back of the abyss that condensed all things.

Until her eyes were a little astringent, she looked back and stopped looking at the darkness.

"Okay, can it be over?"

"Wait, you wait a little longer, something is wrong." The sound of the inspector tinkering with the machine came from there, "There should be something wrong with the machine, wait a minute, I'll fix it right away." ”

Qiu Xuan tried to take two steps back, but found that no matter how she walked, she had been in the darkness. The brilliant galaxy and the boundless necromancy disappeared in an instant...... No, not gone, they were still there, only she was trapped in the thick and deep.

She just stood there, the thick darkness enveloping her. Qiu Xuan suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she was actually very afraid of the dark - this is normal, most children are afraid of the dark.

She was especially afraid of the dark, and always turned on a light at the head of her bed every night when she slept alone, even though her mother scolded her several times for wasting electricity. But she was afraid, she was afraid of the unknown and treacherous monsters in the dark, afraid that the endless darkness would swallow her, afraid that all kinds of horrors in her usual absurd dreams would come true and hurt her through the cover of darkness.

Afterward...... yes, what happened?

Later, children will probably grow up, and when others start to think that you have "grown up", "fear of the dark" becomes an unspeakable childish thing. I don't know when it started, when Qiu Xuan began to grow up slowly with age, being afraid of the dark became a joke about the past.

Especially now that she has become a executioner, everything she fears may become a weakness to attack you in the future, and there is nothing particularly fearful.

Qiu Xuan slowly sat down in the dark, waiting for the examiner's results with her eyes open.

"Uh...... The machine is broken, young man. ”

The inspector in the white robe wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then tinkered twice as if he didn't give up, and found that the parts were indeed scrapped. He snorted twice and turned his head to look at Qiu Xuan, who had withdrawn from the mental space. "In this way, you go to check other projects first, and I will respond to the company and ask them to fix it, if you can't fix it today, you can only fix it another day."

"Okay, then I'll go."

Qiu Xuan took back her form, nodded briefly, said hello, pushed the door and walked out. As soon as she went out, she bumped into the court dress and witch Ran she had met before, she didn't speak, and walked into the second examination room after passing away.

After that, she and Ethan met on the elevator on the fifth floor, and completed all the checks on the form piecemeal, but the so-called machine for testing mental power still hadn't been repaired. So they walked over and handed the form to the staff in charge, but were stopped when they were about to step out of the hospital gate.

They were greeted by the unassuming staff in ornate and exaggerated silver-white suits. "Two players, don't rush to leave, that's it. Before the start of each episode of "Live Game", our program team will provide free weapon upgrades and warranty services for each player, which is also for the sake of the excitement of the program. ”

Weapon upgrades?

Qiu Xuan frowned, almost about to give a gesture to protect his baby short knife, shouting, "Let them get away, don't attack my little baby!" She coughed lightly and said, "Can you give up this opportunity yourself?" ”

"This ......," the staff frowned in embarrassment, "but according to the agreement you signed with the program team before, it is an obligation to accept the opportunity to improve combat power provided by the program team." ”

With an arm across her and the staff, Ethan smiled, "Then I'm going to bother you." ”

In his hand was a small dagger that didn't look amazing, not the gentleman's cane that Qiu Xuan had seen in the simulated battlefield. Qiu Xuan raised her eyebrows, and with a flick of her wrist, she also handed over the machine gun.

Agreeing that someone would come the next day to deliver the upgraded weapons, they turned and walked out of the gates of the central hospital. Ethan almost couldn't wait to take a breath of the outside air, as if he had finally let go of the nerves he had been holding on.

In the next second, he quickly opened the brain on his wrist, and his fingertips slid something in front of him.

"We should have to wait a little longer for the voting results to come out, we came out too early."

"The result of the vote?" Qiu Xuan frowned, "What vote?" Isn't it just a medical check-up today? ”

Ethan glanced at her inexplicably, and after booking the car to the hotel, he shared the projection screen in front of him to Qiu Xuan's device. Almost in the next second, Qiu Xuan saw her face on the projection screen.

“……”

"I really don't understand why the woman in the fox mask followed Abu, if you want to find a backer, isn't Barton's party the best choice?"

"You stupid, how could that group of people look up to her? But why did the machine break down after the cold-faced woman finished the test, is there any new plan for the program team? ”

"Has anyone noticed the brother with the gentleman's cane, he's so handsome."

"Looks like a drug-addicted face......"

Qiu Xuan swept her eyebrows, and only then did she realize that this show had already been broadcast live on the global sharing network without her knowing, no wonder those contestants had to dress up one by one to participate in the beauty pageant even though they were just doing physical examinations.

And in this way, isn't it true that all the details of their physical examination and various physical fitness analyses have also been made public to the world?

She pursed her lips and made another note on "Live Game" in her heart.

Sitting on the hovercar, Ethan noticed that the people around him did not seem to be faking their reactions. "No, I said, you really didn't know in advance that this physical examination was also a live broadcast, right?"

Qiu Xuan: "Indeed. ”

Ethan was speechless for a few seconds, looking like he didn't know what to say, and finally said: "Let's watch more reality shows like this when I go back, no matter how good it is, I should understand some basic routines." ”

"I don't want to see the R/18/G version of the Human Confusion Award."

“……”

"Alright, so be it." Qiu Xuan entered a pre-assigned hotel room door instruction from the program team, and stood in front of the door of his room to say goodbye to Ethan. The latter pondered for a moment and said, "Are you free tomorrow?" I suspect that after today, each of us should be here for each of us to come and shoot the cameraman, and after that, until the first official live broadcast starts, "Live Game" should upload clips of the players' pre-game preparation from time to time. ”

Qiu Xuan: "As long as I stay in bed and don't go out, I don't have any clips to shoot." ”

Ethan: "? So how do you canvass for votes? If there are too few shots, the chances of elimination are greater, and the audience will not notice you at all. ”

That's right. Qiu Xuan stroked her hair a little irritably, and said, "Then according to what you said, what are we going to do tomorrow?" ”

"Just take a stroll around any of the places, now that the shooting is all started, you can't wear this outfit anymore, and you'll have to buy a few clothes tomorrow."

"Okay."

After a brief night's rest, the results of the first round of voting before Qiu Xuan went to bed had already come out. Qingbaichuan relies on his strong strength, good looks and because he comes from the high-end plane, he is at the forefront of fashion (?) Climbed to the top, and the next second place turned out to be Ethan, and then followed by the Rubik's Cube man Mo Fang in the group of "high-end civilization", the witch called "Burn" is also quite high in the fourth ranking, and the fifth place is Qiu Xuan.

She probably glanced at people's comments, and saw that the majority of the comments such as "dirty", "ruthless", "bounty assassin (?)" "Earthy and fierce", he was so angry that he rolled his eyes several times in the quilt.

Watch a fart, sleep and sleep.

……

Early the next morning, the program team went door-to-door to send upgraded weapons to the contestants, Qiu Xuan took the machine gun that had to be replaced, weighed it twice, and found that the weight of the gun body was really a lot lighter after the transformation, but I didn't know how powerful it was.

She retracted the machine gun into the space and heard Ethan's knock on the door.

"Let's go, let's get out early."

"Okay."

As soon as the two stepped out of the door of the hotel, they almost felt an obvious aura of prying eyes, Qiu Xuan frowned and turned back, and then Ethan pulled his sleeves.

"The person who was filmed by the program team." He whispered over and whispered in Qiu Xuan's ear, who quietly stepped back and nodded.

On the suspension train to a shopping mall in the main city, Qing Baichuan and Mo Fang once again met them because of some coincidence. Qiu Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at it, and then suddenly and inexplicably grabbed his arm by Ethan.

Qing Baichuan sneered, and mocked a few more words, but he didn't rush up to fight them as everyone wished.

"Forget it, don't be angry, I'll avenge you when I have the chance." The two got off the train, and Ethan suddenly began to look weirdly solemn again, and he pulled Qiu Xuan to say this, his tone was so sincere that he seemed to be taking some terrible oath.

Qiu Xuan was inexplicably pulled and looked at him strangely.

The exterior of the mall building looks like a glossy lacquer with a pompous diamond wick, which is very much in line with the world's exaggerated and cutting-edge aesthetic. When I walked in, I found that the interior was amazingly large, far more than the appearance of the space several times the decoration of the magnificent, retro Gothic church architectural style and electronic digital fusion, it looked a bit absurd and strange beauty.

It seems that in addition to some bizarre false eyelashes and exaggerated costumes, the aesthetics of this world are also online.

Qiu Xuan exclaimed a few times for such a completely different and beautiful culture, and this emotion lasted until the shopping guide insisted on stuffing a set of bubble skirts like an iron cage into her.

"It's okay, it's okay! I'm not going to wear this to the streets! She struggled to escape the control of the bubble skirt, and the shopping guide, who also dressed herself as a mille-feuille cake in various senses, pouted when she saw this, and repeated unwillingly, "You will be beautiful in this outfit." ”

Ethan tilted his head and laughed for a moment, then walked over as if he couldn't stand it anymore, and half-wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pointed to a sundress that was faux-punk-style black and dark red. Qiu Xuan let go of his movements, squinted and stared at the sundress for a while, it seemed to be a sudden touch, she sighed softly for a while, and bought the dress when Ethan insisted on paying for it.

"I think it's almost, let's go back." She said.

"No more shopping?"

"Come back, I have something to tell you."

The two returned to the hotel the same way, and in the long corridor, Qiu Xuan glanced back at Ethan in that skirt and said, "What the hell are you doing today?" ”

"We're now allied in everyone's eyes, miss." Ethan shook his head helplessly, and saw that the other party really didn't know anything about interstellar entertainment. "It's not just the picture that the production team wants to see, but the audience loves it. Besides, it's not good to pretend to cooperate, and it doesn't have to be together but it's ambiguous. ”

The more he listened, the more wrong it became, until after opening the door with the entry command, he walked to the room and sat down to listen to his last sentence, Qiu Xuan raised his head expressionlessly and looked at the blonde man in front of him expressionlessly.

"You say it again?"

"It doesn't have to be together, it's just ......" The voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally Ethan choked in his throat and stopped speaking at all. There was silence between them for a while, and the blond-haired man scratched his head and said tenaciously: "Hey, what's the matter, everyone has people who have no tomorrow today, how can they take care of these things in order to survive?" Isn't it just a firing cp, they all like to watch this, and it will definitely be harmless to our future trials. ”

Qiu Xuan began to roll her eyes at him.

"I'll tell you honestly, if it was before, I would agree to this matter, because after all, life is not easy, everyone is to live." She rolled her eyes for a moment, then coughed lightly, looking at the other person's eyes with a bit of seriousness. "But not anymore, not even pretending."

"Because I have someone I like, I'm waiting for him."
