The day finally dawned.

It was said to be "bright", but the sky was still covered with dark clouds.

The village, still shrouded in silence, welcomes a new day.

After Gao Ying and Jiao Chaoming escaped, they returned to the original house. As for the book, he hadn't shown it to Ji Yixuan yet. It wasn't entirely because of the suspicion of cheating, and it wasn't impossible for him to wait until the skeleton closed its eyes to show him. However, the book ...... The pattern inside, he didn't want Ji Yixuan to see it, after all, seeing the pattern was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't cause calamity. However, borrowing the time when the skeleton closed his eyes, he told Ji Yixuan the two key answers.

Cheating must be a risk, but for Ji Yixuan, who has saved Gao Ying in a row, he is willing to take this risk. Ji Yixuan is a person who deserves him to do so!

And this is Gao Ying's determination!

Frankly speaking, Ji Yixuan was also very happy to find out that Gao Ying came back alive. He thought that Gao Ying must be dead, but he didn't expect that he was still alive! Not only that, but he also brought back answers to new questions! Ji Yixuan trusted Gao Ying very much, so he also filled in the answer that Gao Ying said! However, Shen Junhao was also lucky, because he was next to him, so he copied the answer together.

Merely...... The number of questions that have been made, and the total number of questions, is still too small. There are still quite a few questions, and they are still blank. Fortunately, there are still two days left to make the questions.

Although there were many things going on this day, ...... The most critical question, that is, the source of the sound taboo, is also a mystery. This mystery is unsolved, and it always makes people feel like they are stuck in their throats. Gao Ying decided to wait for the next time the skeleton closed his eyes, and told Ji Yixuan about the assumptions about the parallel space as quickly as possible.

Frankly speaking, this night was very difficult for Ji Yixuan. After all, he thought that Gao Ying was dead, and even people like Gao Ying would die, so how long could he live? After a long night, thinking of the bleak road ahead, he felt the darkness in front of him. He may never see his mother again, and he will never see Yixin again. The so-called eternal life is obviously just a castle in the air. It is precisely because of such fear and despair that when he saw Gao Ying come back alive, Ji Yixuan's heart was rejuvenated with strong hope.

He was reminded of O'Henry's short story "The Last Leaf", in which the desperate patient lost confidence in life when he looked out the window at the withered trees, but a painter painted the last leaf on the tree, bringing the patient back to life. In fact...... What does it have to do with the leaves? However, the returning Gao Ying became Ji Yixuan's last leaf. This made him feel a trace of remorse for the despair in his heart, and in reality, there are many patients who are terminally ill and have been sentenced to death by doctors are likely to survive according to their own will. Once he loses the confidence to survive, it is impossible for him to live.

"Thank you, Gao Ying, thank you for surviving."

Gao Ying was actually very puzzled why Ji Yixuan was so excited when he came back. If it weren't for the taboo, he might even have burst into tears.

However, he immediately thought of ...... Ji Yixuan, what was he thinking.

The long night passed like this. Although the sun is shrouded in clouds, the ...... Sunlight is still more hopeful than moonshine. Today, it's a new day.

Looking at the sunlight outside the window, Gao Ying checked the exam paper in his hand again, and began to think about how to arrange the second day in his mind. He always felt that the current candidates were working separately and scattered, which was really inefficient. If the surviving candidates could be integrated, perhaps a better outcome could have been achieved. But...... At present, Gao Ying really doesn't have much prestige at all, how can it be so easy to integrate the remaining candidates? To paraphrase Ge You's lines in "There Are No Thieves in the World", people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

And at this moment, Ji Yixuan's words interrupted Gao Ying's thoughts.

"I'm an illegitimate child, Gao Ying."

Gao Ying was a little overwhelmed by this sudden confession. Because Ji Yixuan's voice was very low, his first reaction was whether he had heard it wrong? So he asked again: "Did you just ...... Say what? ”

"Bastard. In a nutshell...... I'm a junior child. ”

Ji Yixuan, for the first time since he was born, took the initiative to tell the deepest secret of his heart in front of a person. This life history has been tormenting him like a curse, reminding him that he was born with the original sin of his parents, and that it is a product of immorality and immorality. However, in front of Gao Ying, he felt that there was no need to hide it. In this world, no one cares about morality and immorality, because here, survival is the first priority.

Gao Ying felt very abrupt by this confession, and it took a few seconds for his brain to receive this information. Then, he immediately thought that he must not show any shocked expression at this time, after all, a life experience like Ji Yixuan must be sensitive and fragile in his heart, and he can't let Ji Yixuan feel that he will discriminate against him.

But...... He found that even though he was full of wisdom, at this time, there was no way to think of the most suitable opening statement. It seems that no matter what, it looks awkward.

Ji Yixuan naturally knew what Gao Ying was thinking at this time, he tilted his head to look at the sunlight gradually shining on the earth outside the window, and continued to whisper softly: "I know, what is in your mind at this time. My existence, is ...... As you can imagine, I have always felt that my birth was a superfluous and even meaningless event, but it wasn't until I met my half-sister that I felt the light of day in my life. My existence can also be meaningful......"

"Yixuan ......"

Gao Ying realized something at this time, and Ji Yixuan told the most secret thing in his heart, which showed ...... He truly accepted himself as a companion in life and death. Therefore, he must also face Yixuan's attitude seriously.

"You're not at fault. There is no fault for your existence. ”

Gao Ying said this sentence in very sincere words, and there was no politeness in this sentence, this was what he really thought. And his words also made Ji Yixuan raise his head.

He is not at fault, and Ji Yixuan himself knows this. However, this is just the usual general truth, and in the eyes of the world, it is the greatest original sin in him. So far, apart from his mother, only Yixin has released the greatest kindness to him. And now, there is one more person, and that is Gao Ying.

So, you don't need to be psychologically burdened by this kind of thing. You are fully qualified for happiness and you are fully qualified for eternal life. To me, you are the benefactor who saved my life, and even more ...... I will be a companion side by side in the future. ”

Companions who stand side by side......

Ji Yixuan nodded heavily, and then, the two stretched out their hands almost at the same time, and then, the two hands were tightly clasped together.

The two of them have become the most unwavering comrades-in-arms who can trust each other's lives!

Actually, Gao Ying still thinks this feeling is very good. If you are the only one on this road to eternal life, and you don't care about the life and death of others, then you will become extremely lonely.

"We're all going to live...... And get a life with no end! ”

……

"You like your sister very much?"

"Yes...... When we usually get along, we are no different from ordinary brothers and sisters. ”

"Come on...... Go back alive and see your sister. ”

At this time, Gao Ying, Ji Yixuan, Shen Junhao, and Jiao Chaoming gathered together. Jiao Chaoming and Gao Ying agreed to act with him.

After Ji Yixuan and Gao Ying finished speaking, they looked at the newly joined Jiao Chaoming, but they were a little puzzled. Jiao Chaoming's expression felt that everyone looked bitter and hateful.

"Huh?" At this moment, Jiao Chaoming suddenly asked a question suspiciously: "What about another person?" ”

"And one more?" Gao Ying immediately understood and said, "You mean...... Hou Mingbo? He's gone, dead. Last night...... He's dead. ”

"Dead?" Jiao Chaoming sighed and said, "That's a pity. ”

At this time, he didn't realize what a terrifying scene he had seen last night......
