"What?" Chen Xizhou became nervous when he heard the word "split", "Alone? ”

"Are you afraid?" Yuki asked him with a sideways face.

"I'm afraid...... What are you afraid of? Chen Xizhou pretended to be calm, "I'm worried about you!" I'm an insider, so you can't do anything to me even if you're in danger, but you, a girl, what if something happens? ”

"What can I do?" Yuki disagreed, "It's a big deal, it's a big deal, I'll die once, I'll come back next time." ”

"Uh......" Chen Xizhou was speechless all of a sudden.

"If you don't clear the level, you just can't win the prize, I don't care, I just want to experience it." Yuki said, starting to point his finger at the hole and count, "So, I'll go into this, you go in here." ”

"Are you okay?" Chen Xizhou asked.

"What's not to do?" Yuki laughed, "If you clear the level, you won't get a bonus, so I'm still very balanced." ”

Now, in the face of such a situation, he can only agree, Chen Xizhou took a deep breath: "Okay, let's go our separate ways......

Yuki put down his backpack and said, "Wait, let's see what's there." ”

Yuki dumped everything in her bag at once and piled it on the floor. There were quite a few things in the bag: a knife, rope, gauze and a bottle of water......

How can there be a bottle of water?

Yuki unscrewed the cap and sniffed it, and sure enough, it was alcohol!

"Good guys!" Yuki happily rummaged around, "Quick! Find another stick! ”

"What?" Chen Xizhou was about to enter the cave, but he was summoned by Yuki to look for something again. Forget it, just help find it, of course, this thing seems to have been prepared in advance, and it was quickly found on the side.

He handed the stick to Yuki, who quickly took out the gauze, folded it in the palm of his hand, poured out the alcohol from the bottle, soaked it and wrapped it around the stick.

Yuki grabbed the lighter and immediately flew out blue flames, blazing on the sticks and lighting up their faces.

"Here, here you go." Yuki handed it to Chen Xizhou, "Is this okay?" Aren't you afraid of the dark? ”

"Afraid of what?" Chen Xizhou took the wooden stick, "I'm not afraid." ”

"Haha." Yuki laughed, picked up the flashlight himself, and said, "Alright, let's go!" ”

So, she got into the hole and didn't forget to remind Chen Xizhou: "Put on a rope and a knife, maybe it will be useful!" ”

Chen Xizhou had just picked up these things, and when he turned around, Yuki was gone. Well, that's fast.

I don't know what hole Yuki picked for herself, but I didn't see any movement just now anyway. Chen Xizhou lit the fire and followed the road, feeling that the road here was bent and eighteen, and he had to be frightened at every corner, for fear of encountering something.

"Hey!" He tried to shout, trying to see if Yuki could hear it.

"What?" Sure enough, she could hear it.

"What's on your side?"

"Nothing."

Hearing nothing, he was suddenly relieved.

"Can we get to the same place?" Chen Xizhou asked.

"I don't know."

"So......" Chen Xizhou took a deep breath, gave himself a little courage, and asked her, "So, after this game, can we meet in the real world?" ”

However, he waited for a long time, but Yuki did not reply.

“Yuki？”

Chen Xizhou shouted, but he didn't get an answer from Yuki except for his own reply.

Did she turn a corner? Can't hear me?

Well, Chen Xizhou would rather think so, than think that she didn't want to meet. Maybe I'll feel better.

He hadn't walked a few steps before he saw some glimmers of light and, as expected, walked out unharmed. Again came to a clearing, and above them was a blue sky densely covered with nebulae.

Chen Xizhou looked around, except for the hole he came out of, there was no other hole, that is to say, only he arrived here?

“Yuki！” Chen Xizhou shouted, but there was only his own response.

“Yuki！” He shouted again, still with an empty echo.

He turned around and burrowed back into the same hole, ready to turn back and enter the hole that Yuki had entered, looking for her.

So, Chen Xizhou tossed around in the cave to find an exit and prepared to go back. But he finally saw the light and walked out of the hole, only to find that there was still only one hole where he came out.

Could it be that I went around in circles inside and came back?

Chen Xizhou turned back and walked in again, and when he came out, it was still a hole.

What's going on?

Chen Xizhou walked around the entrance of the cave, this place is all rocks, solid, and it doesn't look like there is any hidden grid, which will cover up another hole.

“Yuki！” Chen Xizhou shouted, but still no one answered.

It's over, I must be lost.

Chen Xizhou is not nervous now because he is trapped here, but because he can no longer find Yuki's whereabouts and has lost contact with her.

Looking up, the starry sky above him was beckoning. Chen Xizhou thought of the rope, could it be that this game only needs to climb out to complete?

Now, do you choose to go back and continue looking for Yuki, or climb out on your own and end the game?

Wait a minute.

Chen Xizhou reminded himself, it seems that the end is too easy, right? Although he is not really a player, he feels that he has not encountered any major crises along the way, but someone is trapped in the game, and he thinks that this game is not only terrifying, but also difficult.

Forget it, you can't go out, or go back and continue looking for Yuki, you can't leave her behind.

So how do you find her?

Chen Xizhou studied at the entrance of the cave, thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered something.

He put down the torch and didn't need to use it. Now, he's going to go in and walk around by feeling.

So Chen Xizhou walked into the completely dark hole, relying on the touch in his hand, groping his way forward. Although his eyes could not see clearly, his ears were clear, as if there was a ticking sound of water in front of him, which he had just gone back and forth several times without noticing, until the sound was getting closer and closer, and the hole of the other time finally had a glimmer of light.

Chen Xizhou finally walked out of the cave, but saw a different scene.

There was a shallow shoal, and there was some water dripping gently from the rocks above, the sound of water droplets he had just heard.

With such shallow water, there shouldn't be any piranhas, mermaids, right? Chen Xizhou slowly approached the beach, but found the starry sky above the reflection of this beach. The dripping water surface vibrates slightly, making the starry sky as if it were moving.

Chen Xizhou looked at the water and was stunned. It didn't seem like he was in a daze, but the ripples on the surface of the water seemed to hypnotize him, making him can't help but stare at them......

A drop of water falls, making a "ding-dong" sound. Then, another drop.

"Ding Dong" "Ding Dong" "Ding Dong" ......

The water droplets were dripping rhythmically, and Chen Xizhou felt that he was about to close his eyes and fall into the water, when suddenly someone pulled him up behind him-

"Chen Xizhou!"

Yuki's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Chen Xizhou was suddenly woken up.

He sat down on the ground and looked back at Yuki.

“Yuki？” Chen Xizhou blinked his eyes a few times to confirm whether it was the real her, or if he was really hypnotized and dreamed of her.

"Smack!" Caught off guard, Yuki threw him a shiny slap.

"What are you doing?" Chen Xizhou covered his face aggrievedly, making sure that it hurt a lot, and he didn't dream.

"Are you sober? Awake? Yuki asked.

"Wake up! I didn't fall asleep! Chen Xizhou looked at her, "Where have you been?" ”

"I'm not going anywhere!" Yuki replied, "I just came out of the cave and saw that you were about to fall here. ”

Chen Xizhou glanced at the beach: "It won't happen if it falls, right?" So shallow. ”

"Shallow?" Yuki picked up a small stone and threw it into the water.

When the stone fell into the water, it did stay at the bottom of the lake, which was at most ten centimeters deep. However, soon a few bubbles appeared under the stone, and after a few pops, the stone slowly sank into the dirt and continued to fall until it disappeared......

"What is this? Swamps, huh? Chen Xizhou asked Yuki.

"What do you say?" Yuki disagreed, "If you just fell, you didn't struggle, and I guess you didn't know how you died." ”

"Alright." Chen Xizhou suddenly felt that his face didn't hurt, "Can we leave now?" ”

Yuki sighed, "We should be lost." ”

"Lost?" Chen Xizhou thought for a while, "Yes, I walked several times just now, but I can't get around here." ”

Yuki simply sat against the wall, thinking.

Chen Xizhou also sat beside her by the way: "That...... I just asked you a question, did you answer me? ”

"What's the problem?"

"Like, can we meet in the real world?" Chen Xizhou faced her and asked, but he was shy.

"Nope." I didn't expect Yuki to answer so directly.

"Why?" Chen Xizhou didn't understand.

"There's no why."

Yuki stood up and prepared to go back to the cave: "Let's go, no matter how many times I shuttle, I have to find a correct way out." ”

"Wait." Chen Xizhou stopped her.

"What?"

Chen Xizhou took out the rope: "Do you believe me?" ”

"Huh?" Yuki was a little confused.

"I'm not a player, I should have a privilege." Chen Xizhou smirked, "If I take the lead, it should be less misleading." ”

"How do you take the lead?"

Chen Xizhou tied the rope around his waist, and then handed the other end to Yuki: "We must promise not to get separated, so you also tie it to your body, and then we walk back and forth." ”

"Let's get closer, why don't we tie ropes." Yuki reluctantly took it.

"It's not." Chen Xizhou said seriously, "We have to keep a little distance so that your feelings will not mislead me." ”

Yuki listened, as if he had a little meaning, so he tied the rope on: "Okay, I'll believe you." ”

Chen Xizhou said happily: "Then if I take you out, would it be good to meet you?" ”

"Not good." Yuki still refused.

"That'...... At least add me as a friend, right? Chen Xizhou finally relented, "It's good to be a netizen." ”

"......," Yuki thought for a moment, "Okay then. ”

"Hee-hee." Chen Xizhou smiled happily, then plucked up his courage and confidently drilled back into the hole, "I'll be almost there later, I'll pull the rope hard, you feel it, just come in, okay?" ”

“ok。” Yuki responds.

Chen Xizhou walked in, not using anything to light the way in the dark, but groping forward according to his intuition.

It wasn't until he felt like he had walked a long way that the connection between the two ends of the rope seemed to be straightened, and he tugged on the rope hard to signal for Yuki to enter.

"Yuki, are you in?" He shouted back.

"Come in!" Yuki responds.

Chen Xizhou was relieved and continued to move forward.

Well, I don't think there are so many roads that I walked in last trip, so why is it so long this time?

"Yuki, are you still there?" Chen Xizhou asked from time to time.

"Yes." Yuki replied from behind him, "Are you taking me around in circles?" ”

"Nope." Chen Xizhou replied.

"Then why haven't you walked out for so long?"

Chen Xizhou continued to walk, feeling that there was really no light in front of him: "Wait, maybe the road to victory is so winding." ”

"Cut." Yuki chuckled, "You just don't deliberately go around in circles. ”

"Don't dare." Chen Xizhou replied, "I'm not only afraid of the dark, I'm also afraid of those strange things, so I want to go out more than you." ”

"Then why are you talking so much nonsense? Lead the way! ”

Chen Xizhou originally wanted to add a few words, but it seemed that Yuki didn't want to communicate more. However, knowing that she was behind her, Chen Xizhou was much more determined than before at this moment.

"Next time, stop playing this game, okay?"

"What's that for?" Yuki asked.

"Then go to ......" Chen Xizhou thought for a while, "Why did you go to the club?" ”

Chen Xizhou remembered that night of the chance encounter, and felt that Yuki was not like a player, how could he enter the club?

"I'll just hang out." Yuki was silent for a moment and replied, "I want to see what the game is." ”

"Then next time, I'll take you to a more fun game, okay?" Chen Xizhou asked.

"Fun?" Yuki replied, "Why don't I take you." ”

"You've played a lot of them?"

"Of course."

"So...... Is that the girl who deducted points in the game be you? Chen Xizhou simply asked.

"Demerit points?"

"That's right! It's the ...... who often deducts points."

"What? Can't I deduct points? ”

"I didn't say no......"

"Isn't that my right? Everyone enters the game to play together, can you not deduct points for breaking the rules? ”

"I didn't say you're wrong......"

Yuki's emotions seemed to be excited, Chen Xizhou panicked, he didn't seem to say anything to blame her, right?

"You didn't come to me on purpose because I deducted points, did you?"

"Nope! No......"

Chen Xizhou still wanted to explain, but he stepped on the air without paying attention, and a feeling of weightlessness made him suddenly fall down, and he kept falling......

"Ahh......h

“Yuki！”
