Chapter IX: Decision

Only a week has passed, and the small building by the lake seems to have suddenly aged two hundred years, from an ancient building to the ruins of an ancient building.

Most of this is due to the fire that Ling Shucheng put on. Almost all of the above four floors have been burned clean, and only a few piles of bricks are still in place. The damage to the third floor is not light, and there is still a dry skeleton left. Only the first and second floors can barely be seen, but the plants attached to the surface should have burned a lot, and they don't seem to be lifeless.

"If you think about it now, as a hidden stronghold, this place is really good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with good air and light." Yuan Sui commented, "It's a pity that it's burned like this, and it's too difficult to repair." ”

"It's so clean, it's not supposed to be." Ling Shucheng thought for a moment, "It is estimated that he deliberately used this fire to destroy the traces. ”

"Borrowed? I thought they burned it themselves. Yuan Sui blinked, "Fortunately, I didn't directly scold the person who set the fire for not caring for the environment and having poor quality." ”

Ling Shucheng was choked up, but did not refute.

"It's to dispose of the body." Yuan Sui looked thoughtful, "At that time, I thought it was strange, we were just a few students, how could the rescue come so quickly?" What's more, it's still a team and a second group of people, I've never heard of what the people in the second group do, and my former classmates all said that they handled personal affairs for those amazing people. ”

The overly straightforward words made Ling Shucheng frown. This is not something that can be discussed on the table.

"You don't have to answer anything, I'll just say it casually." Yuan Sui tilted his head and thought about it, and added slyly, "Remembering these makes me not feel very good, I may be a little unable to hold back my words, yin and yang are weird, please don't worry about me." ”

"It's fine." Ling Shucheng sighed.

"Thank you for your understanding, I'm down to business." Yuan Sui accepted it when he saw it, "Then let's start when I wake up." ”

-

The moment he regained consciousness, Yuan Sui felt that he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids.

The whole mind was full of tired acidity, and it was no more than staying up all night for three nights. If it weren't for the unbearable headache, Yuan Sui would have been unable to help but fall asleep again immediately.

"Don't sleep." A familiar female voice "spoke" in her head.

In a trance, Yuan Sui thought that he had fallen asleep again in the first class of the morning. This is not good, this is not good, if the teacher catches it, it will be difficult to run the drill. There was an inexplicable coldness all around, and Yuan Sui vaguely wanted to struggle up, only to gradually feel the pain and numbness of his muscles.

It's so uncomfortable that it's hard to even mobilize the consciousness of "thinking". I used to have insomnia all night, and it wasn't so uncomfortable to get up early and go to the most annoying class.

It's better to sleep, and I admit to deducting points. Yuan Sui thought.

"Don't sleep!" In his head, Nesha's voice rang sharply again, almost making Yuan Sui tremble.

It's not right. It was the first time that Yuan Sui knew that the team leader would also yell like that, which made her have a headache even more.

What's wrong? Yuan Sui has a little tinnitus. There seemed to be a lot of people walking around, but she couldn't really hear it, and she couldn't open her eyes. I tried my best to move my body, but I didn't get any response from my body. Fear finally exploded in Yuan Sui's mind after realizing it. It was like a nightmare caused by sleep paralysis – if not for the fact that he was convinced that he had heard Nesha's voice.

For a moment, the illusion that he was only left with a poor brain lying in the snow even came to his mind. It's terrible, she thought. Fortunately, at this moment, she felt her little thumb twitch and flick it very facelessly, so that she finally found a little bit of the presence of her limbs.

In a moment of dazed helplessness, a hand wet with sweat grabbed her little finger tightly.

"Don't move, don't move...... she "heard" Nesha's voice again, so tired that she seemed to cough up blood.

It shouldn't. In principle, Nie Sha should be "talking" directly to her consciousness through her spiritual talent, and she didn't shout through her voice, how could she be so tired?

Yuan Sui realized that something in his head was broken. She struggled to manipulate the finger she had finally recovered, carefully drawing a question mark on Niesha's palm.

Nie Sha's ability to communicate is one-way, and he can't read what Yuan Sui is thinking at this time. If she could, Yuan Sui would actually want to draw ten question marks in her palm.

"We've been tricked." Nesha "said" that "now it is lying in the enemy's lair." ”

Yuan Sui thought about it and drew a small square in her palm.

This is the conventional way of communication between the six groups, each with a small symbol that represents themselves. Yuan Sui is a circle, and the one that refers to Xiao Zheng is a square, which is very concise and easy to understand.

The question was exchanged for a long silence. It was long until Yuan Sui began to wonder if even the team leader couldn't help but fall asleep, and Nie Sha's "voice" sounded again.

"He's dead."

Nie Sha's words were so straightforward that Yuan Sui couldn't react with any emotions for a while. It's like a plot that only appears in a nightmare, the preface doesn't match the afterword, and it jumps directly to the finale, and there is not even a process that can be worked on at all.

"All three groups are gone." Probably because she was also very sleepy, Nesha didn't put the energy into delivering any useless messages.

Yuan Sui was stunned for a while, and drew another question mark.

"The four of them were lying behind us. I don't feel like they're alive. ”

It wasn't until he felt that his fingers were pinched with a little force that Yuan Sui came back to his senses.

That's ...... Are they all dead? Yuan Sui felt as if he had suddenly become a tape recorder, which could only mechanically record the content passed by Nie Sha, and could not process the information behind the content.

Even if I have always felt that there is no sense of reality in the matter of "living", I can also say beautiful words such as "people will die eventually" at any time, but at this time, Yuan Sui can only experience the feeling of double paralysis of physiology and psychology.

"That guy is gone — maybe this is the only one chance." Without giving Yuan Sui any time to brew his emotions, Nie Sha spoke again, "You can open your eyes, but try not to make a sound." ”

I don't want to open my eyes. Yuan Sui said in his heart. If you don't open your eyes, it's as if you can still catch a little ridiculous hope.

"Don't run away, now, open your eyes." Perhaps feeling Yuan Sui's resistance, Nie Sha's tone was a little harsh.

After a poignant silence, Yuan Sui fanned his eyelashes slightly, and the moment he opened his eyes, there were no expected tears in his eyes.

I just feel that my eyes and heart are dry.

After focusing for a while, Yuan Sui finally saw the Nisha in front of him clearly. It is indeed "in front of the eyes", and the distance between the two is very close, as if they are placed face to face by someone close to each other. The inexplicable cold was not an illusion, and in this small corner, the ice was piled up into a small mountain, and the melted water soaked everyone lying on the floor half-wet.

Indeed, all people, those who died, and those who were likely to die.

For Nie Sha, the "back" is exactly the right direction for Yuan Sui. Neither tall nor athletic, Nisha had little to hide from everything behind her. Yuan Sui's gaze stayed on the small piece of the team leader's forehead that was knocked blue for a while, and then he mustered up the courage to make eye contact with Xiao Zheng's unfocused eyes.

Xiao Zheng's face at the moment was so hideous that it was a little funny, like a clumsy grimace. A person who usually attaches great importance to his personal image does not know how he would feel if he could see that his life was frozen at this moment. Yuan Sui bent the corners of his mouth very inappropriately, but the warm tears were strung into a thread at this time, and Yuan Sui's eyes became blurry again. She almost raised her hand to wipe it, but fortunately she was able to control it in time.

Xiao Zheng even had another person on top of him. Yuan Sui suddenly remembered that he usually used the two girls in the team as a stepping stone, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't get rid of this fate even if he died.

"It's all here." Yuan Sui gave Nie Sha a lip sync. She was suddenly glad that she didn't have to speak up at this time, at least to avoid wasting precious time stuttering.

Niesha's expression did not change, as gentle and calm as ever, but there seemed to be something flickering in her eyes, as if a warm candle flame was jumping. From the first fixed grouping, whenever Yuan Sui and Xiao Zheng had any problems, Nie Sha would show such an expression, just like an older sister looking at her naughty younger brothers and sisters, gentle mixed with a little annoyance, helplessness and doting. At this point, she looked calmer than usual, only a little more tired.

"Sui Sui ......" Nie Sha's voice sounded in Yuan Sui's mind, but Yuan Sui seemed to have hallucinated her sighing voice, "Don't cry, at least now is not the time to cry." ”

"The man who can shock the spirit with a high intensity is gone, and while he is here, I have to do everything in my power to maintain the illusion that we are both dead. In his absence, I can still hold back the rest of the people for a while. ”

"How many are there?" Yuan Sui tried to squeeze the tears out of his eyes all at once.

"Now there are only three in the house, but there are still people outside the door, and there are many downstairs. We probably had to go out through the window. ”

"I'll take you." Yuan Sui slowly made this mouth shape word by word, as if swearing.

“…… Good. Niesha blinked, "I'll continue to create images in the brains of the three people in the room that we're still lying down, and we're going to get to the window as quickly and silently as we can." ”

After passing these words, Nie Sha held one of Yuan Sui's hands and pulled her up from the ground. Yuan Sui only realized at this moment that the feeling of being paralyzed just now was not all hallucinations, and if it weren't for the power of Nie Sha, she would have had some trouble even standing up.

"There is still a little sequelae, I tried my best, but it will only be good if you are active."

Yuan Sui nodded and blew into Nie Sha's cold palm. Nie Sha briefly glanced at the corpse of her classmate on the ground, her eyes lingered on Yang Group for a while, and then she turned her head as usual, and gently patted Yuan Sui's little head as if it was okay. So, the two of them supported each other and bypassed the two guards in the room in succession. Yuan Sui knew in his heart that although Nie Sha was good at dispelling illusions created by others, she was not a good at creating illusions. When she walked past one of the men, Nie Sha couldn't hide her slight tremor and honestly passed it to Yuan Sui, but Yuan Sui couldn't help her share the slightest.

A few steps away, even Yuan Sui, who was dizzy at this time, could tell that the window was locked, but Nie Sha didn't seem to be aware of it. Yuan Sui hesitated for a moment and patted Nie Sha's shoulder with the lightest force, wanting to remind him a little. Nie Sha shook her whole body, knelt down straight, and even Yuan Sui fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The moment the three guards in the room pulled out their guns, Yuan Sui pressed Nie Sha down behind the desk with the best reflexes in her nearly twenty years of life, and at the same time tried her best to manipulate countless thin threads, and twisted the necks of the two opponents one after another, but she was suffering from a splitting headache and was unable to control it precisely, and was quickly freed from the opponent who had recovered from her fear. The sound of the bullet falling to the ground was completely muffled by the buzzing in Yuan Sui's head, and she had to instinctively hunch her body and kick the cover in front of her, knocking down an enemy who was approaching her, and then rolling behind another broken cabinet while holding Nisha in her arms, while holding down the three opponents who were shooting in the room with a thin line, and dragging the scarred desk all the way through the fallen enemy with a twisted thread until she managed to get the desk against the door.

Just as the wooden furniture in the room had little room to withstand bullets, it was all she could do. Dusting off the wood crumbs that had rubbed from his cheeks, Motosui was about to adjust the trajectory of the thin thread, when he was suddenly forced to almost catch his breath by a pain that seemed to be stirring in his head with several soldering irons. She struggled to scratch around the blur looking for the chair she had just noticed, but someone had shoved the legs of the chair into her hands. In a trance, she saw Niesha stand up tremblingly, calmly facing the cold and hot bullets. A dying invisible force briefly tore through the invisible coercion in the room, and Yuan Sui only felt a little clear in front of him, but his face was wet and sticky. Her eyes adjusted for a moment before she could barely focus, and she raised her hand to wipe it, and it was warm blood.

Yuan Sui leaned on the cabinet to prop himself up, only to find that the two enemies in the room were kneeling on the ground with their heads in their hands, and the other had been shot dead by Nie Sha, who had already taken the gun, and fell to the side with a pale face.

The extreme use of hallucinations has evolved into another form of psychic attack. This was Nesha's first attempt, and it would be her last.

"At this point, I don't have to worry about fishing anymore......" Nie Sha covered her abdomen, her anger was like a gossamer, but her face was still calm, "Hurry up and ......"

"Come with me now!" Yuan Sui lifted the solid wood chair with difficulty, and threw it at the window as if out of breath, but only knocked a little crack in the glass. She hurriedly repeated it again, blushing, until the glass finally shattered and threw the chair out of the window.

Yuan Sui turned around and saw that Nie Sha couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground again. The enemies on both sides struggled to get up, and were kicked hard by Yuan Sui.

"Let's go, don't be stupid......" Nie Sha brushed away Yuan Sui's hand that was reaching for her, "It's impossible for us to leave here together." ”

"Don't be stupid! I'll move you! Yuan Sui stubbornly wanted to carry Nie Sha, but the two of them fell to the ground again together.

"Sui Sui ......" Nie Sha stretched out her hand to help Yuan Sui wipe the blood on her face, but the more she wiped it, the more dirty it became, so she had to withdraw her hand with a helpless smile and whispered, "I'm not here, you can't run away." ”

"Nonsense!" Yuan Sui grabbed her hand hard, "I'm going to drag you away!" ”

"Yuan Sui!" Nie Sha raised her voice rarely, and then coughed violently, "You still want me...... Do you persuade you slowly! Come on! ”

"I'm ......" Yuan Sui was about to speak, but was pushed by Nie Sha.

"I can't stop that guy...... If you can't get out, everyone will die here meaninglessly! ”

"But!"

"I think I'll meet that person head-on......" Niesha squeezed out a smile, "Give me this chance, Yuan Sui." I'm sorry for letting you perform the hardest part of this task. ”

Yuan Sui stretched out his hand for the last time, trying to hold on to Nie Sha firmly, but Nie Sha staggered and dodged.

"Run...... Run faster. Nissa turned her back and shot both of the enemies in the room who were still moving.

Yuan Sui stumbled back a few steps, wiped his face vigorously, turned around with a tense face, paused against the window frame for a moment, staggered through the gap in the window, and jumped straight down.

-

When the net woven by the thread was firmly caught, Yuan Sui actually felt a little lost in his heart.

Leaving the room that was under the control of a completely unknown and terrible enemy, she could barely hear the approaching footsteps of seven or eight people.

If only it were flat land around here, she could just lie down and wait for death.

He was surprised by his willful naivety, and Yuan Sui couldn't help but pull out an ugly smile, and then his eyes lit up, and he was quickly dragged by the rope and flew to the woods on one side.

She only remembered that the location of the island should be on the east side of the island, and the sun could not be seen in the rain, so she could only keep moving forward half by reason and half by intuition. The people behind her began to stick very tightly, and a few bullets almost grazed her and flew past, but Yuan Sui became more and more calm. Soon, with the absolute advantage of moving in complex terrain, she felt that the people behind her were gradually being thrown far away.

Yuan Sui was almost holding her breath and flying forward, even if she almost hit the tree trunk a few times because she was extremely tired, she didn't dare to stop for a while.

When the familiar small square appeared in front of him, Yuan Sui almost felt that he had stepped on shit luck. However, there was no place for bolting wires on the flat ground, so she could not fly, so she could only fall to the ground and continue to walk forward.

And then he ran into a man.

It's a literal bump. Because Yuan Sui's vision was already very bad, and the other party had no intention of moving away at all, it wasn't until the two of them were about to touch their faces that Yuan Sui reacted in a daze.

How is that possible? Didn't they all get rid of it?

Fear and dazedness exploded in my heart in an instant. Yuan Sui shrank back a few steps, and at the same time he really wanted to see what the Lord of Yama in front of him really looked like, but unfortunately he only vaguely saw the outline of a young man.

It's just one step away, it's ironic. At this juncture, Yuan Sui was almost about to laugh.

An anger that could not be ignored grew in her heart as if she were going crazy, and even despair was squeezed out by this inexplicable anger.

People who are too unlucky can only fight for their lives. Yuan Sui thought.
