Chapter 80: Endgame (5)

Xue Qiong didn't know why he wanted to go, and when his mental power was seriously overdrawn, he couldn't think about why he wanted to go.

One step at a time, one step at a time...

There were still gravel and dust falling from the roof of the cave, but Xue Qiong didn't hide at all, and he couldn't hide now.

There's something there. I also don't know why, such a message appeared in Xue Qiong's mind.

Sure enough, after he climbed up to the platform that he could have climbed up with great difficulty, he found a black, diamond-shaped crystalline thing there, only the size of a finger.

There was never a way to verify why he walked up, why did he think there was something there, why was the stone platform full of rubble that had fallen from the roof of the cave, but Xue Qiong could still find a small thing smaller than most stones, full of dust, and inconspicuous in that pile of rubble?

No one, including Xue Qiong, knows. Thinking about it now, compared to Emiya Shirou being able to go through those labyrinthine caves like a god and finally walk in front of Ma Kiri, Xue Qiong felt that the current situation was even more amazing.

As soon as Xue Qiong's legs were weak, she just... Squatted down.

There is still a part of his mind that remains clear, so in this situation, he did not kneel down directly as normal unfolding, because in the moment just now, he instinctively thought that if he knelt, he would definitely be directly smashed by a small stone on the ground, so he chose to squat.

This is his way of thinking, even if there are more emotional things affecting him, even if he really does something according to the emotional influence, but in the details, he is still, always rational, and even he has found a way to control the sensibility with reason, that is, his self-suggestive personality reconstruction plan.

But in fact, the people around him, and even himself sometimes, think that this is really sad, because he will never understand why the things that really touch people's hearts are touching.

Xue Qiong squatted, her head down, her empty gaze was unfocused, but she stared at the black unidentified crystal on the ground, in a daze.

"I really care..."

He may not be aware of it himself, but in short, this has happened many times.

It's like the first time he entered the transit station, staring at the beacon that fell directly to the ground, or in the form of a metal ball.

It's like he's crouching in the garbage heap behind the bar, staring at the bald head that is so drunk that he's just been thrown out, confused but still shedding tears of despair.

It's like he was squatting in a dark alley, staring at Xiao Yun, who was still besieged by a few tall men a few minutes ago, falling into complete despair, and falling helplessly to the ground.

It's like he's crouching down the road in college, staring at half-soiled cheap bread on the concrete floor.

It's like... That year, staring at Yang Xiaoxi, who was tied to her limbs and lying on the ground, she didn't even have the strength to struggle, she was undressed, and she was blindfolded, but she could feel her pleading gaze.

Reach out, or turn away?

Reaching out includes picking up something, reaching out, being an invitation to be a companion, or simply shooting to kill.

Turning away means abandoning, evading, or letting someone live.

He has made many choices, each time the object of choice is different, including people or things, and each time Xue Qiong makes a different choice. Sometimes it's following reason, sometimes it's following sensibility that is monitored by reason.

This time his choice was...

"Beacon." Xue Qiong finally opened his mouth, "How many points do you need to mark this thing?" ”

[Undetectable.] Make physical contact with them first, or put them in storage. 】

Xue Qiong stretched out his hand, then took the black crystal in his hand, and wiped the dust on it.

[The test is complete, if you need to mark it, please pay 17000 points.] 】

"What is this?"

[It cannot be detected, there is no relevant information in the database, if you need to query the ingredients and name them automatically, please pay 5000 points.] 】

"How many points do I have?"

[The total existing income of 4F637N75 is: 19027 non-tradable points, 1 tradable point, and one life crystal. 】

"Hey, hey, hey, hey... Hahahahaha!!!!! Xue Qiong laughed loudly, sounding very happy, but if there was a second person in this cave now, he would definitely not be able to find any happy expression on Xue Qiong's face.

And the beacon definitely can't and won't understand Xue Qiong's mental activities, so everything is business.

[Hint, your teammates: T265DSF9 is out.] 】

[Hint, your teammates: J1H45OS is out.] 】

Are Xiaoyun and the bald head gone?

Xue Qiong looked at the top wall of the cave, where large rocks had begun to fall. Although it has not hit him so far, it is only a matter of time before this place collapses.

Outside the Yuanzang Mountain, Mr. Zhu, who was handcuffed and held at gunpoint, but was enjoying black tea, said to the officer who had just come in to convey the progress of the work: "I don't care, I just want to kill the people inside, as for my personal affairs after that, I will do whatever you want." ”

In fact, in the previous transformation sabotage, Mr. Zhu even doubled the exit points, so what he wants now is to borrow the official power of the plot to kill the mission target, and then use excuses such as taking a shower or something to avoid the sight of the plot characters, leave this world directly, and leave.

He didn't know until now that Xue Qiong was not restricted by the exit point, and he thought that after the exit point was doubled, those guys who had only experienced one or two worlds must not have enough points to get out of the limit, so he thought that after surrounding them now, they would already be mortal, and at most they needed to worry about the plot characters.

However, Mr. Zhu, who knows the original work, also knows that after the protagonists in the original work leave Yuanzang Mountain, they must have been defeated by the remnants, and they are so fragile that they can be killed casually... As a veteran reincarnation, he knows that even if the plot changes a lot, the ending usually doesn't deviate too much.

Foolproof, that's why he's in the mood for tea.

Outside the window beside him are dozens of purple painted Knightmare-Frames, each two stories tall, that are digging through the mountains of the Enzo Mountains bit by bit with a variety of super-tech tools, and will eventually turn their target into a little mouse that has fallen into a trap.

These real mechas, which appeared because of the collapse of the worldview and should have belonged to the world of "rebellious Lelouch", were the last talisman in the eyes of President Zhu to deal with Xue Qiong. And the cave, which is constantly shaking and about to collapse, is also the masterpiece of these things.

And until Mr. Zhu angrily asks himself about the beacon, he will never know what he is wrong with...

"Mr. Gosaku Kamada!!" Another officer rushed into the room, didn't even do a polite military salute, and said bluntly: "Those **** are out!" The red-haired high school student at the head has destroyed three of our mechs! The command wants me to come and ask you for a countermeasure, please hurry up!! ”

"How could it be..."Although Mr. Zhu was surprised that the protagonists still had enough combat power, he still didn't act too flustered, put down the teacup in his hand, and walked out with the officer.

In a cave.

Xue Qiong threw the black crystal into the storage space, and then said softly, "I'm going to mark it." ”

[Reminder, the composition of the item is unknown, the practical value is unknown, and the cost is too high... Tagging is not recommended. 】

"I'm going to mark." Although Xue Qiong sometimes takes a long time to make a decision, no matter how much time the decision process takes, as long as he makes a decision, there will be no wavering.

【Please confirm.】 】

"Confirm."

[Okay, deduct 17,000 points.] 】

"The remaining two thousand are a little..."Xue Qiong finally had the mood to light a cigarette again, although his hand was still a little weak, and he didn't light it several times.

"Send me some elves, orcs, goblins, demons and the like, the corpses of inhuman intelligent creatures, and require them to be healthy adults before they die, and the corpses should be as fresh and complete as possible, and you can look at the specific details yourself, anyway, just spend my points." By the way, make sure that the little space left in my storage space can fit in. Wait, get me another bottle of 'I love a piece of firewood' from Lu Ding Ji. ”

The bald head once said that he wanted to help Fu Shuai get some of these things, but the points of the bald head in this world have been spent. And although Xue Qiong knew that he had to spend all the points, he actually couldn't think of anything he particularly wanted for the time being, so he chose to help his companion fulfill a promise and give some gifts to another companion by the way.

【Please confirm.】 】

"Confirm."

[After deducting 2027 points, please dig up the surface dirt three meters to your left and extract the teleportation item.] 】

"! You can't just say it first, or give me a shovel..."

That being said, Xue Qiong still honestly took out the black dagger and dug it, fortunately the thing was not buried deeply, after he cleaned up a thin layer of soil, he was able to put his hand on the surface of the big coffin, and then directly put it into the storage space.

After digging something, Xue Qiong hammered his waist board and said, "Beacon, I'm going to get out." ”

[4F637N75, the number of points you have now is: 1 point that can be traded, and there is no limit to the number of points in this world.] 】

[Detected that you did not take the quest other than the trial quest, and you were not in the attention of the plot character.] 】

[Does it come out immediately?] If you want to get out of this story world, please check it. 】

[Reminder, it has been detected that other trial reincarnations have been released, and if 4F637N75 is released, it will not be possible to continue to improve the trial mission evaluation.] 】

Should we say that beacons are intimate and like to be insurable, or should we say that they are always verbose in unnecessary places?

"The Holy Grail is gone, my Heroic Spirit is gone, how can I improve the evaluation of the mission 'Participating in the Holy Grail War'... Confirm the prolapse. ”

Again, without any process, Xue Qiong's eyes went dark, and then he found himself back in the rest area of the transfer station.
