By the time I opened my eyes again, the sky was completely bright. I don't know where the light from falls into my eyes, reflecting a clear and fresh world. The light of the blank sky was slightly dazzling, and I squinted and adapted for a few seconds before I came to my senses, and when I sat up, I saw Fang Ruoxi and Chen Si not far away.

Fang Ruoxi seemed to notice my gaze, turned her head to look at me, and looked like she wanted to say something, and then I remembered that when I found her in the prince's room before, she gave me the same feeling as when I first met her, and it is the same now.

And Chen Si sat alone in the shadow of a tree, her arms hugging her knees, as if she was trying her best to shrink her presence. I don't know what to say about Chen Si, and I'm not qualified to evaluate her. When we first entered this room, there were a total of eight of us, me, Langya, and Lin Ya were a small team, Yu Pu was alone, Fang Ruoxi and Liu Chang were together, and Chen Si was with Qu Ying.

Later, Yu Pu joined the team of the three of us, and Fang Ruoxi also took Liu Chang and us to become a kind of mutual aid alliance, only Chen Si and Qu Ying were still two people on their own, and only Qu Ying accompanied Chen Si, or more precisely, Qu Ying was a person who was obedient to Chen Si.

However, such a person, a person who has a good impression of her and takes care of her, still chooses to betray him in exchange for her own safety when she encounters danger.

I don't want to put any adjectives in front of the word "choose", like "without hesitation", "resolutely", etc., I don't want to add these. Maybe it was just Chen Si's instinctive reaction when she didn't have time to think about the imminent danger, or maybe she would have made the same choice if she had time to think about it. It's just that I don't know what kind of person she is, and I don't know if it's right or wrong.

Righteousness and morality are things that can only be possessed in a state of peace and security, and when you are faced with the real threat of death, you will find that it becomes a luxury. It's just that I am a person who understands the value of benevolence and morality when I am satisfied, and I have come to an environment where my life is in danger at any time, in such an environment, all benevolence and morality become worthless, and all beliefs become a sentence-

To live! To live.

It is forgivable for people to do anything to survive. Now, as someone who has experienced death so often, I have no way to say whether this sentence is right or wrong.

I don't know how Chen Si will feel after Qu Ying's death, after all, her relationship with Qu Ying is ambiguous, it seems that it is a couple, and it seems that it is not an ordinary friend, and it is definitely beyond the boundary, I don't know what kind of feelings they have between them.

In this day and age, the relationship between a man and a woman may have long since become elusive. It is not the kind of love between the mermaid and the prince that life and death can be put aside, nor is it the long-looking coexistence of the son and the old man many years ago. Perhaps this is the sadness of the great era, when the pace of life accelerates, when everyone is given their absolute value by a highly developed social civilization to become a relatively independent individual, love is no longer what it was originally.

Once two people were together maybe because of their parents' words of matchmaking, and then two people were together maybe because of the years of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and now, two people may be together just because of loneliness.

Loneliness, the loneliness of a person. Even in this society, we have all kinds of social circles and meet more and more diverse people than we used to be. Even with the Internet, we can now recognize people we couldn't have known in the past. Yet we still feel lonely.

We have a lot of circles, all kinds of people. But we are still just a small individual in a circle, but we belong to this circle, not to this circle. So we will be lonely, we will be lonely, we will feel that we are out of place in the world when the night falls.

So, we need the other half, someone who belongs only to us in a sense. We need to use this possessiveness to satisfy our sense of security and belonging, to let us know that there is something in this world that belongs to us, and that we have a deep bond with this world.

However, when love is only used as a tool to relieve loneliness, is it still a burst of love?

Chen Si and Qu Ying are probably the two people who love or accompany them because of loneliness in the torrent of this great era.

Such a so-called love, it is easy to be together, and it is very simple to separate, the important thing is not who the person who is with you is, the important thing is - whether there is this person.

It's just that even if it's such a deformed "love", it won't be painful to be separated, but if you are the murderer who indirectly killed the other party, I don't know if this relationship, which was originally defined as easy, can not leave traces in your heart, and can it be as calm as before.

"Mo Li?"

Yu Pu's voice interrupted my train of thought, and I came back to my senses and turned to look at him, where I saw him hand me a leaf-wrapped piece of food that looked like a roast chicken.

"This is what Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya went to catch before, they went to the front to see how far away from the thorn wall, we have all eaten it, only you haven't eaten it."

I reached out and took the roast chicken handed over by Yu Pu, there was no temperature in my tentacles, it seemed that I had really slept for a long time, so much later than others.

"I've slept for a long time, what time is it now?" I asked, my voice a little hoarse and my lips feeling dry, thinking that I had only found water to drink from the castle last night, and that I hadn't drunk it for a long time.

"It's been a long time, and all of us get up and watch you sleep."

Yu Pu's words made me stiffen slightly, and I smiled helplessly, looking at his expressionless face, I only felt that I shouldn't pick this topic. I bet that if I asked this question to Brother Lin Ya, he would definitely tell me that it wouldn't be long, and the others would just wake up a little early, and by the way, what would I say after all, I've been running all night, and it's normal to sleep a little more. And the guy in front of him, who may have negative emotional intelligence, will tell such an embarrassing truth.

"As for the time" Yu Pu had an expression unexpectedly, he pursed his lips slightly, and he didn't seem to be very happy, "In the afternoon, it's two or three o'clock, I don't know when my watch was lost in the castle, and I didn't find it again today." ”

Table? I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered the carved pocket watch I had picked up in the attic earlier. Although the castle disappeared this morning, our backpack or something that belonged to us still appeared in the clearing, and Yu Pu thought that he had already searched carefully, but he didn't find it, so he thought he had lost it.

"Your watch is here." I hurriedly took out the pocket watch from my pocket and handed it to Yu Pu, "I picked it up in the attic of the morning newspaper before, and I forgot to return it to you this morning." ”

Yu Pu saw me take out the pocket watch The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then turned up slightly, if it wasn't for the fact that I deliberately wanted to observe his expression, and I couldn't even see this subtle change in expression, I think it should be a sign of his surprise and pleasure.

Yu Pu reached out and took the watch I handed over, carefully groped for it, gently wiped the non-existent dust on it with his cuffs, and then turned to me after a while and said, "Thank you." ”

I shook my head slightly to show that I was not welcome, and then I tore a piece of meat from the roast chicken in my hand and put it in my mouth. Although the roast chicken is already cold and a little greasy after the fat has solidified, it also satisfies my body's needs for huge energy consumption. Compared with the freshly grilled roast chicken that I ate before, the chicken after cooling has a more distinct taste, the meat quality is slightly harder, and it tastes more chewy.

After eating two bites, my eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Fang Ruoxi and Chen Si on the other side, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, I looked up at Yu Pu, who was still looking at my pocket watch, and asked, "Fang Ruoxi and Chen Si, have they eaten?" ”

"Fang Ruoxi has eaten it, Lin Ya gave it to her. Chen Si didn't eat, no one gave it to her, and she didn't talk to anyone. After Yu Pu finished speaking, he paused slightly, and then said, "Fang Ruoxi seems to have changed back to her original appearance, I asked Lin Ya, and Lin Ya said that Fang Ruoxi changed back to her current appearance after waking up." ”

I looked at Yu Pu with some surprise, I didn't expect him to talk to me about Fang Ruoxi's problem. In my cognition, Yu Pu is the kind of person who, in addition to important questions that concern everyone, other questions that have little impact need you to ask him before he will answer you, and if you don't ask him, he will never take the initiative to talk to you. Therefore, I was a little surprised that he suddenly talked to me about Fang Ruoxi, and I immediately understood that this was probably my reward for getting back his watch.

"Then what do you think is the reason why Fang Ruoxi is like this now?" I turned my head to look at Yu Pu, "From your perspective as a psychiatrist, is there anything wrong with her?" Irritated? Or dual personality? ”

"Not sure yet." Yu Pu shook his head, "At present, we can only determine that her personality mutation is not caused by the death of her friend, and whether she has a dual personality needs to be further investigated." ”

I nodded lightly, looked in Fang Ruoxi's direction and squinted. According to what Yu Pu told me, the time of Fang Ruoxi's sudden change in personality should be after fainting in the crystal slipper secret room, until he woke up from sleep in the castle. If there is any correlation between these two timings, fainting and sleeping are both times of loss of consciousness? However, there was no change in Fang Ruoxi after she slept before, that is, this kind of personality mutation may occur after losing consciousness, such as fainting and sleeping, but it is not always like this.

I frowned slightly, unsure if my guess was right or wrong, and I might have to wait until next time it happened. But I hope it doesn't happen next time, I don't like Fang Ruoxi's previous appearance. The mirror image of Fang Ruoxi in front of the magic mirror suddenly appeared in my mind, and I had a bad premonition, I was afraid that this situation would really happen again.

As for Chen Si, I hesitated for a moment when I looked at her hiding alone in the shadows, but finally sighed, stood up and walked towards her.

"Would you like something to eat?"
