Chapter Seventy-Three: Withering

Things turned out to be easier than expected.

When Duan Xu successfully dragged back to the hotel after five minutes, he found that Qin Nianbing was pressing No. 4 backhand on the ground, stepping on one foot.

The man next to her also dodged his gaze, not daring to look at her.

"You...... What to play? ”

Duan Xu was a little puzzled.

He had already noticed the pile of rotten meat on the ground, and judging by his clothes, the owner of the pile of rotten meat was Number Five, the one who had won just now.

Hearing the sound of Duan Xu opening the door, Qin Nianbing was a little surprised, and at the same time relieved.

In any case, having someone like herself in such a world can make her feel some peace of mind.

"I caught her, and she's the one behind the scenes." Qin Nianbing's chin nodded, and motioned for Duan Xu to show the number four she was stepping on.

"What are you talking about? Let go of me! Number Four struggled violently, and his voice was a rough male voice.

"How did Five die?"

Duan continued to ask.

Qin Nianbing stepped on No. 4 and said, "It was because No. 5 died that I saw through this boring game. ”

She looked at Duan Xu and said with certainty: "This is not a game of winning or losing at all, the only thing that really makes sense is to roll the dice and choose the punishment item, because the object of winning or losing has been decided from the beginning." ”

Duan Xu looked at her unexpectedly, which he didn't notice at all.

"Where did you see that?"

"The bells." Qin Nianbing stepped on No. 4 fiercely, then looked at Duan Xu and explained: "At the beginning, when we entered the hotel, there were three bells, and four bells rang at the beginning of the first game, and then the winner of the first game was No. 3 and the loser was No. 4. ”

Duan Xu thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"Then the fifth bell rang, and the winner was five, and if I follow my logic, the loser would be six. And so it is, after you leave, six bells appear. Maybe it's because you broke a certain cycle, and the number six who should have been punished is still in the inn, but ...... Number Six is fine, Number Five is dead, do you understand? ”

Duan Xu nodded, looked at No. 4 who was trampled under Qin Nianbing's feet, and said: "Because of the original death of No. 4, except for No. 1, 2, and 3, everyone's numbers are advanced by one place, so you are not No. 4, you are No. 5, and now the No. 5 who dies is No. 6." The second round of the game starts from the fifth to the eighth, and you skip a round after you become the fourth on the fifth round, and there is no you in the first round, and there is no you in the second round, because you know that as long as you sit at the table, there will be no wins and losses, only a set punishment, right? ”

Four's complexion changed wildly, but he still craned his neck and struggled desperately: "Let go of me!" What are you talking about? I do not know! Let go of me! ”

"Alright, you win."

A calm male voice appeared in the air.

In an instant, time froze.

The inn was rapidly crawling with dust, the walls were mottled and cracked, and the air smelled of decay.

The moonlight outside the window disappeared abruptly, and the sunlight peeked in through the window, counting the dust in the air.

But at this moment, Duan Xu noticed that even the dust in the air was stationary.

Except for him and Qin Nianbing, everything in this world froze.

No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 6 quickly diffused into ashes with the sudden change of time.

Qin Nianbing retracted her feet in disbelief, she couldn't imagine that the big living person who was still under her feet just now turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Squeak-"

The doors of the inn opened.

A young man stood there, wearing a white mask.

There was sunlight behind him, but there was no shadow of him on the ground.

He was obviously not old, but whether it was Duan Xu or Qin Nianbing, they all felt a rich, dying twilight aura in his body.

"Why did you kill me?" Duan Xu looked directly into the other party's eyes.

The man standing at the door just stared at Duan Xu.

His eyes made Duan Xu's heart tremble.

Duan Xu didn't see the killing intent in his eyes, but instead ...... Apologies and remembrances.

"I'm a coward."

His voice was lifeless, not loud, but it was a clear palpable of his pain.

"Who are you?" Duan Xu wanted to ignore the feelings in his heart, but he found that he couldn't even hate the person in front of him.

"I put it on because I didn't want you to see me again." He didn't answer Duan Xu, but he suddenly said something that shocked Duan Xu.

"I've killed you a thousand times, and you've fled a thousand times, but only this time...... You've got one more person by your side. ”

He looked at Qin Nianbing.

Being watched by him, Qin Nianbing was uncomfortable.

"Tell me, your name."

His eyes under his white mask suddenly glowed with a burning light, and his tone became more urgent.

Duan Xu didn't know what was wrong with him, he didn't want to answer any questions about this person who almost killed him, but his body reacted on its own.

Before the word "Li ......" could be spoken, it was fiercely suppressed by Duan Xu.

That consciousness that did not belong to the continuum appeared out of thin air.

If...... There is really no point in the existence of this world anymore, maybe he will completely occupy this body immediately.

But at this moment, the change has already happened.

"Duan Xu, my name is Duan Xu."

Paragraph ...... Continued......"

The man in the white mask tilted his head and whispered the name, and when Duan Xu looked at him with a frown, he was already in tears.

"You succeeded...... You've really succeeded......"

"But did you know that your success was bought for your own eternal disappearance......

"Is it worth it......"

"Li Jingnian, is it really worth it......"

It's the name again, it's the name again!

Duan Xu's personality is not intense, but Li Jingnian, who is always mentioned, is like a thorn in his heart, making him lose himself, who is he? What the hell are you?

Is he his own past life? Is he his life?

If it weren't for the existence of ghosts, Duan Xu would never believe such nonsense.

The man in the white mask suddenly lowered his head and looked at his hands.

Duan Xu and Qin Nianbing also realized something, and immediately looked around.

This rotten inn is turning into powder.

Roofs, walls, tables and chairs......

Soon, Duan Xu and Qin Nianbing were exposed to the sun, and they found that it was not only this inn that was turning into powder and disappearing, but this world was too!

The man in the white mask suddenly burst out laughing: "It's moving...... It's moving! It worked...... That's what it is...... Alive? ”

Duan Xu looked at him, his soft black hair swaying gently in the breeze.

In this strange symmetrical world, a large number of green plants suddenly appeared, and on the wilderness, green vegetation fluttered in the wind, like layers of waves, and occasionally a few wild grasses that were blown away flew in the air.

Duan Xu suddenly found that the man wearing the white mask was also turning into powder and dissipating!

He saw that the man had closed his eyes, and half of his body had melted into the wind.

He didn't open his eyes until he was about to disappear completely, his voice was no longer calm, but full of gratitude and joy, and ...... Hope.

"Time flows again, and there is no longer a chance to try, this time...... It's the last time, Duan continued, you must ...... Let the world no longer wither ......"
