Ten minutes later, I reclined back in my chair, the spotless wooden table in front of me was piled up with soft light, curling lines mixed with the sparkle of candles, quiet and warm. I spread out my palms and watched my pale skin regain its color, feeling the hot blood pass through the narrow veins of my fingertips again, and I felt that everything around me was so unreal.

I just hoped to find a shelter that would save me from physical suffering, but I couldn't really sit here and experience any ease or comfort. The cold faded, and the confusion and emptiness hidden in my heart filled my chest like a tide.

I think of the brief companionship I experienced, the desperate and powerless struggle of the escape, the warning of the man in black, the answer I may never get,

Who am I?

"Alas, the identity ......"

Before I knew it, I sighed, and the man in black put down the book on his lap and glanced at me, and then ignored it after realizing that I was just muttering to myself unconsciously. During the whole process, I quietly observed his reaction, and at the same time I was thinking about what would happen if I really said this topic, and after some entanglement, I gritted my teeth and dismissed this idea for the time being.

As my thoughts flew, I thought back to the big man, the girl and the girl, where were they after so long of being separated and combined? Are you wandering in the snow and ice like me? Or are you still stuck in that damn school? I covered my head and restrained myself from thinking too much, but no matter how hard I tried, the boundless loneliness still collapsed.

"Hey, that ————"

Eventually, I broke the silence, and the man in black closed the book wrapped in the brown and black cover, and listened quietly.

"My friend...... Are they alive too? ”

After hesitating for a while, I chose a way that was more acceptable to me and asked.

The man in black raised the corners of his mouth and looked at me with interest from a position similar to a counter.

"If Your Excellency can bring the dead back to life, why can't they? There's one more thing you can call me 'Jue'. ”

Quirky name.

I thought about it silently, but wasn't stupid enough to show it.

"And where are they now?"

Jue put the book neatly on the corner of the table, stood up and said with a smile,

"They came when you remembered them, Your Excellency."

I was puzzled, and just as I was about to ask, there was a knock on the door in the empty room.

"Look, isn't it?"

Jue chuckled and walked towards the door. After a while, I heard the familiar sound again

"Welcome."

I was about to see the three people who had been born and died with me again, and I suddenly couldn't suppress my excitement, and hurriedly pushed away the chair and stumbled to my feet, but when I took a step, I was at a loss to fix at the table, because I remembered the rules of this world that Jue described to me———— if it was indeed the three of them, then they should not remember anything, unless...... I clutched the metal ball like a drowning man grasping at straw floating on the surface of a lake.

"How are you?"

A subtle response sounded, mixed with the howling of the wind and snow outside the house, but I could still hear it, it was the voice of a young girl. I stood there stunned, I don't know if it was because of shock or lack of courage, I just looked at Jue's back and guessed, but I didn't think to go up and check. Presumably Jue also noticed this, he turned his head, glanced at my complicated expression with a slight sneer, and then said without looking back,

"If you have any doubts, you might as well let this boy answer them for you."

"Childe?"

As soon as the words fell, Jue walked back to the room sideways with his hands in his hand, and a familiar figure also leaned in along the gap.

The petite body of the visitor was draped in a thin gauze skirt, reflecting the fluttering yellow candlelight, trembling slightly in the cold wind blowing outside the door, and I looked at the red tip of her nose on her white jade face, and the snowflakes in her long hair, perhaps infected by this scene, and the disturbing uneasiness in my heart turned into pity and sympathy. But in the end, when my gaze was intertwined in the girl's clear but confused eyes, this emotion melted like ice and snow,

Sure enough, she had forgotten about me.

"Excuse me...... Can I go over? ”

The girl greeted tentatively, and there was no lack of cowardice and caution in her words. And I opened my mouth sluggishly, all the words I wanted to say and want to talk were pressed to the bottom of my tongue, and the loss and sorrow were scattered like ink drops in the clear water, until they converged into the only answer in this occasion,

"Ah, of course."

I smiled at her with all my grief, and I didn't know how embarrassed I was now.

After hearing this, the girl carefully observed Jue's attitude again, and after receiving his affirmative look, she moved to the opposite of me step by step, and laboriously pulled out her chair and sat down at the large wooden table.

Just when I finally accepted the reality and was about to relay what Jue had said to her, the hurried knock on the door reappeared. I sat down again and got stuck in mid-air, and the girl looked back curiously at the door.

However, this time, Jue didn't move, and I had never seen him look in disgust with jealousy now. After some hesitation, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, and reached out to open the creaky door.

"Huan ————"

However, before the opening sentence could be finished, a half-human-tall figure suddenly flashed in, crouching on the edge of the blazing fire.

This scene was still a little weird, I turned my head to look at Jue curiously, and he stared at the shadow that shrank into a ball not far away———— it was the girl who died tragically in front of me not long ago.

"Well, okay."

Finally, after a few twitches in his face, Jue conceded defeat, but this episode was only the beginning, because there were other people who came with the girl.

I vaguely saw that at the moment Jue closed the door, a big hand grabbed the crack in the door, and then, a thick voice sounded from outside the house word by word, and the threat in it was self-evident.

"Hey, I say, there's someone out there."

Jue also narrowed his eyes and responded coldly,

"So Your Excellency is waiting for me to invite you in?"

I heard a cold snort from someone outside the house, then pushed open the door and stepped inside, and as expected, it was a big man.

I was glad that at least he was the person I had the most contact with before, but when I was about to speak, I noticed that something seemed wrong with him. I saw the majestic man clenching his fists and glaring at us viciously, and the girl didn't even dare to turn her head under this coercion.

A few seconds later, in the dead air, the big man's fierce gaze finally locked on the girl by the fire, and I saw that his face became more and more ugly, more and more distorted, and finally even every muscle trembled excessively.

"You!"

Suddenly, he roared! Before I could react, I rushed to the girl's side and grabbed her from the ground!

The girl's exclamation sounded in my ears, and I was stunned, propping up the crumbling back of the chair and hiding a few steps back, but before I could figure out what was happening, the big man's scream suddenly sounded,

"Grass! You TM————"

I panicked, and in horror, I saw the big man gritting his teeth and clutching a bright red scar on his leg, while the girl on the other side was holding her shoulder with one hand and a burning red tongs in the other, and her face was also gloomy.

"What's the matter with you guys?!"

I really can't understand what happened between the two, but looking at Dahan's reaction, at least it shows that he still hasn't lost his memory.

"Bunny, the last time we were trapped in that hellish place, she operated the whole TM! She's the one who killed us! ”

After hearing my doubts, the big man turned his face away and roared.

"What?!"

I cried out, looking at the girl with her chest slowly heaving in disbelief. It wasn't until this moment that I realized that compared to the timid and cowardly child before, she was too calm now, right?

"What's going on? What are you talking about? ”

The girl cowered against the corner, I am afraid that she can only feel fear and dazed when she loses her memory again.

Just when the relationship between everyone was tense to the point of rupture, the girl who had been silent spoke up,

"What the hell are you talking about?"

To be honest, her immature face and such a cold tone can only give me an indescribable sense of strangeness, and her image in my heart has become strange and dangerous.

"Hmph, don't stuff garlic for Lao Tzu! You must have planned it! ”

The big man roared angrily, and at the same time moved half a step forward.

On the other side, after the girl noticed that the situation was not good, she raised her hand and put the heavy tongs across her chest and replied vigilantly,

"No, that's not what I meant."

The expression on her face still hasn't changed,

"I mean, who are you, and you?"

As soon as these words came out, the listeners' reactions were different, Dahan still thought that the girl was bluffing him, but I had a bottom in my heart, it seems that in the process of coming here, the girl has lost her memory.

"It seems that you don't plan to confess, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!"

The big man leaned down, his pale white coat barely able to tense his bulging muscles, he was planning to come for real. I rubbed my dry lips nervously, trying to stop them, but I couldn't pull my nerve out of the big man's words.

"Guys, have you had enough?"

At this moment, Jue took the tea and slowly appeared behind the big man.

"Huh? What are you? ”

At this time, the big man was angry, and after being disturbed by Jue, it was even more difficult to be patient and irritable. However, hearing Dahan's impolite words, Jue didn't get angry, but his tone was much more serious.

"This is the inn below, if you want to do something out of place, please bear the consequences."

I screamed no! Dahan is the kind of person who can stand this kind of anger, only to hear the sound of breaking the wind suddenly sounded, and the huge fist was attached to Jue's eyes in an instant! I narrowed my eyes, and the image of Jue's thin body flying upside down already appeared in my mind.

But when I looked at it again, the reality was strange. I saw that Dahan's left wrist was pinched in Jue's hand, and at the same time, his whole body was flipped in an extremely unnatural posture, and Jue just sipped tea while letting the big man twist on the ground in a cold sweat.

"If Your Excellency continues to behave recklessly—"

With a click, the big man's arm broke in response! Half of his arm spun around like cotton and then slanted around his neck, like a demon tortured in hell.

"Ah!!h

Suddenly, all that was left in the room was a terrible scream, and my hair stood upside down, and I clenched the tip of my tongue and didn't dare to make a sound.

Jue seemed to enjoy this feeling, and more than a dozen minutes passed, and only after the big man had no strength anymore did he ask slowly,

"Your Excellency's face, is there a gloomy color?"

The big man shook his head, and his facial features folded together in pain.

There was another crisp sound, and I don't know what technique Jue used, but the big man's arm returned to him intact again, and he rolled to the side like a frightened wild dog, and he didn't even dare to look at the man standing in the middle of the house.

Jue placed the teacup next to the book he had hardly left his hand, raised his head, proudly declaring his unshakable position,

"Now that you're all here, please all sit back in your seats, and I sincerely hope that this won't happen again, unless

You want to die a second time. ”
