As expected, the eighteenth underground floor was finally reached, and the so-called gates of hell were quietly opened, revealing an unobstructed view of the outside world. In this boundless space, there is neither an exaggerated barley dog the size of an adult elephant, nor anything strange happening, everything is so peaceful and soothing, green grass occupies most of the land, and small undulating valleys stretch in front of you, stretching into the distance.

We slowly walked out of the elevator room, and everything in front of us made us feel like we were in a different world, could it be that we finally arrived at a safe place as we wished?! As I went deeper and deeper, I gradually noticed that Patel's body became lighter and more fluttering, like a kite swaying in the wind. Although the kite-like body is still being pulled by an invisible rope, it is very likely that the string will be broken and gone with the wind in the near future. Otherwise, why do people always dream that they are floating like floating clouds in their sleep, it turns out that this is one of the abnormal reactions of ordinary people to come to the underground time and space in the nightmare of the mirror. My body is not bound by this, because I myself do not belong to this void world.

In order to keep Patel by my side and not drift like dust, I consciously took his hand. We wandered on this fertile soil, and the green grass was interspersed with a few small purple flowers in full bloom from time to time, which was very pleasing to the eye. Everything has a bad side, and there is a good side. Although Patel's body was as light as a feather, his spirit had changed a lot, and I think he was now the same as the two of them, on a par with a normal person.

The warm spring breeze caresses the earth. Suddenly, a barley dog got into my eye, and it was not only no longer surprisingly large, but also very suave. At this moment, this normal-sized barley dog is intently sniffing the delicate floral fragrance emanating from a few small purple flowers, and the whole picture is unusually warm and lovely.

I peeked at Patel, who was standing beside me, and as expected, he did not hate or fear his dull demeanor at the moment, but looked at this cute pet puppy with pity, and his gentle heart seemed to be melting. It seems that Patel's nature is too kind and honest, and at this time, I can only play the role of vicious and ruthless.

I deliberately slowed down my pace by Patel's side, and whispered as I observed the words: "This puppy looks quite cute, but unfortunately it is just a disguise, it seems to be very obedient at this level, and once it reaches the top, it will completely change its appearance, and it will be extremely vicious. ”

"Even so, I can't do anything about it...... This puppy is so cute, just like the puppy Qiuqiu that my family used to have. ”

Patel's words were filled with sadness, and I didn't know what to do for a while. How can I make him realize the seriousness of the problem, I racked my brains, and suddenly an idea burst into my mind, at this time, only by using his relatives who are dependent on him as bait can make him shake his original intention. After thinking about it, there was only so much to say, "If you want to see your wife and two children, you must first subdue this barley dog." ”

"Uniform?! But it's so well-behaved now. ”

"These are all disguises, all false illusions. In fact, it hides a killing motive, but it is only temporarily hiding its claws and fangs. Maybe we'll go down a little bit and the Barley dog will grow into a small, delicate Chihuahua, but you'll soon fade away like a candle in the last years. It is on this level that you also have the opportunity to have the ability to subdue this Barley Town. The uniforms I am talking about are very different from the usual tame. My intention was to kill the beagle before it swelled out of control, so as not to leave a scourge. At the top, it's not the best time to be evenly matched. Not only that, but we are also very likely to be its meal on the plate. And if you still want to see your wife and children, I think you have to get through this first. ”

Patel listened carefully. He pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "In this bloody world, the only way to strike first is to be strong, and then to suffer." At this level, I still have a preemptive opportunity, and I must firmly grasp it. So he grabbed a rifle from the ground near him. It seems that in Patel's dreams, swords and clubs are not his usual use, and a rifle is his favorite. But this old rifle is quite old and old, and it looks like it is hundreds of years old.

Patel struggled to pick up* and aimed precisely at the barley dog, and his majestic appearance was reminiscent of Stallone's RAMBO in "First Blood". But although he is so focused on the outside that there is no flaw in it, deep down he goes deep into the sea. I carefully observed and pondered, and realized that he was still undecided, but I could not overstep my bounds, I could only do a little bit of tricks, but I could not deliberately manipulate him or act on his behalf.

As the minutes ticked by, I watched anxiously and helplessly at Patel, his arm holding the gun began to tremble slightly, and then his lilting body began to tremble. He put down the rifle in his hand in a dejected manner, and supported the ground with *, so that he could barely stand on his feet.

"I can't! I'm just a coward. Patel buried his head and grumbled in disgust.

"You have pity on this puppy, I understand it, it's human nature. But you have to think about it from another angle, for the sake of your two children, and for us to be able to return safely, you have to have a choice. Either you're dying, you're going to see the light of day, and I don't think it's a difficult choice, but you have to make a choice. ”

"Yes, I want to see two children, two little darling." Patel looked into the distance, muttering and pondering, as if he were convincing himself. Suddenly, he regained his strength and picked up the rifle that weighed as much as Tarzan again. He stared at the hole of the gun, as if made of stone, motionless, and with a suppressed howl that burst from the depths of his throat, Patel pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out with a "whoosh", and the lovely barley dog fell in response, and after a few struggles he stopped moving.

Perhaps the death of the vicious Barley Town Dog was just a trivial matter, but the deeper meaning it represented was extraordinary, which meant that Patel had finally overcome his psychological barrier, and I was so ecstatic, but at the moment he was expressionless, staring at everything in front of him in a daze, as if he was still deeply immersed in the atmosphere of killing and did not come out. At this moment, I didn't expect his two children to come out of the bushes next to the puppy, which really surprised and delighted me, and even more so for him. Billy, the lean little boy, with a twig about half a meter long, walked up to the Barley dog and flicked the hound's corpse back and forth in disgust. His sister, Lili, hid a little farther away, staring at the dead dog without blinking.

"This big stinky dog is finally dead, it has been scaring my sister and me all day long, and it often pesters and bites us, this is the end of the long time ago." Billy glanced at the dead dog with disgusted eyes, then turned to Patel, "Thank you Daddy for saving us!" ”

Patel ran two steps to pick up his son, but unfortunately he pounced, and his son instantly dispersed into a pile of bubbles. It was only then that it dawned on Patel that the children in his illusory dreams were not real, but mirage-like images sketched by some wonderful gas. After a while, his youngest son was synthesizing his petite body again.

His daughter also ran over and shouted at Patel happily, "Daddy, I miss you so much!" ”

"I miss you too!" Although Patel could not hug them or touch them, he was satisfied to see them standing in front of him. He smiled happily as he wiped the tears that had spilled out of the corners of his eyes.
