Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Road to Encounter
Selinda pulled the knife out of a monster, and the monster fell, turning into a point of light and scattering in the air. She bent over her hands on her knees, gasping for breath.
Those monsters are getting stronger. The power of the dead monsters is replenished to the remaining monsters, making them more powerful and agile. Fortunately, these monsters still lacked combat skills, otherwise Selinda felt that it would be difficult for her to survive the battle just now.
One against four, those monsters with long hands and feet, surrounded from all sides, making it difficult for her to use her dexterous advantage. She had to resist several attacks, leaving several deep blood marks on her back and arms.
"You, are you alright? You've got a wound on your back from those monsters, and we're going to need to find something to bandage you. Li Jia's voice came from behind him, this Li Jia was wearing a sportswear and holding a mop in his hand, he had just participated in the battle, but although his courage was commendable, the result was that Selinda was attacked twice, "Really, I'm really sorry, I'm not very good at fighting, and I'm dragging you down." β
Selinda gave him a blank look and whispered, "Fortunately, you won't, I'll be finished long ago." β
"What did you say?" Li Jia wondered.
"Nothing. Let's move on. Selinda straightened up and checked the status of the two knives in her hand, ready to continue looking for the monster's bad luck.
"But what about the wound on your back?"
"Am I bleeding?"
"Hey, not really, how can this be?"
"You can't understand it. Selinda sighed, "This is a conscious body, not the real world. Wounds that don't bleed are the same whether they are treated or not. β
"You mean, is this a virtual space?" asked Li Jia rhetorically.
This time, Selinda didn't understand. But there was a look of surprise on her face: "Do you understand what I mean? Do you think?"
"I ...... I don't know, after you killed those monsters just now, my thoughts seem to be clearer, just ...... It's like sleeping and waking up and washing my face, and I feel a lot more energetic. Li Jia wiped her face and said with doubts.
"Do you remember me, then?"
"I ...... Didn't I just meet you? It's like there's a Resident Evil here, you saved me from the monsters, and we've made it all the way here. β
Celinda looked disappointed, but she quickly picked herself up again.
"It's okay, once we've killed all the monsters, I'm sure you'll remember. Let's go. β
Li Jia didn't move, he threw down the mop, held his head, and asked in confusion: "Is this world a game of the main gods? Or is it a crossing? Why are there only two normal people here? Why are there no police and troops here? No, no, you are not a normal person, normal people will not kill these monsters so unchanged." You, you're skilled. You must have fought like this many times. Who are you, who are you? Where is this?"
Selinda clenched the handle of the knife, for fear that the other party would suddenly turn into a monster again. But this time, Li Jia seemed to be much more stable, and after he questioned a few times, he just looked at her in a daze, and there was no further change.
"I'm your fiancΓ©e. Selinda thought to herself a little self-deprecatingly, I'm afraid no fiancΓ©e needs to assert her identity in front of her fiancΓ© so many times, "This is your world and mine." I don't know what a police officer is, it's just you and me here anyway. β
"FiancΓ©e? Li Jia repeated two words in confusion.
"I hope you will remember who I am before my patience runs out. Otherwise you'll be miserable. Selinda waved the knife in her hand and said with an oath.
"I ...... I don't know what this fiancΓ©e means, but I feel blessed to hear these three words. Li Jia's eyes swept over Selinda's face, as if he wanted to remember her appearance, and after a while, his face turned slightly red and he whispered, "I don't know why, I really want to hold you." Is that okay?"
Selinda's hand holding the knife trembled, becoming more and more violent, and she stared at him for a long time before she spat out two words: "Yes." β
He embraced him with open arms, and she stabbed him in the chest with a knife.
"Why ......" the face of "Li Jia" began to distort and change, turning into the dying face of a monster, "How did you find out...... I look so much like him. β
"Don't underestimate the feeling of a woman!" Selinda slammed her knife and plunged into the monster's chest again, "You greedy demons, you never know what he looks at me! Damn bastards! Fuck it! Fuck it!"
She stabbed hard, and again and again, the monster fell to the ground, and she poked it into a tattered doll.
When Selinda stopped the knife, she found herself slumped on the ground, the monster had already turned into a point of light and returned to the world, and she herself was already in tears. Li Jia...... Li Jia...... Don't test me again. I...... I can't hold it anymore. I'm really scared that one day when I see the real you, I'll stab you too......"

"Am I asleep or awake?"
"If I'm awake, why is it dark around me?"
"If I'm asleep, why do I think this way?"
"Or am I dreaming?"
"However, people always seem to be involved in turbulence in their dreams, and I can't help myself, and I know that I can think and think, or I can think about nothing, and let my mind fall into peace, and calm is like death......"
"However, I don't want to be calm right now. β
"Because I have more important things to figure out than being awake or asleep. Very important thing. It's so important that it's like a part of me. β
"But what's the matter?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Maybe, maybe I should have started from the beginning......"
"I'm ...... , the name does not matter, a child born in a big city. β
"My father was a northerner, and he had the heroism of a northerner. My mother is from the middle of the country, and she also has the pungency of the middle people. β
"But I'm not like them, I'm ...... Silent. I think behind the heroism is hypocrisy, and behind the pungent is timidity. β
"I chose to be silent. β
"Silence is not a reason, not an excuse, not an escape, it is just my nature. β
"People always appreciate their own kind, but at home I am an outlier. β
So I planted silence and reaped loneliness. β
"They feel that loneliness is a prison for me, but I feel that loneliness is a quiet ark. β
"This ark has carried me to many places, elementary school, middle school......"
"Until it carried me out of the city where I grew up and into ...... Yes, to Shanghai. β
"At the university, I was told to get off this boat. But I couldn't find such a reason. β
"In that little boat, I had everything I needed. Do I really have everything?"
"Do I really want nothing else?"
"If so, why is there a touch of red in my memory that makes me so excited?
"Looks like I should get up and look for it. β
So, back to the first question. Am I asleep or awake?"
The simplest answer to this question is actually already in front of me, I just need to ...... Open your eyes. β
He opened his eyes and found himself standing on the roof of the school library, which he felt was a very important place, but he couldn't remember why he was there. He leaned on the railing and looked at the campus, and saw that the school was empty, with few pedestrians walking on the road.
Did I sleep on the top floor of the library?
Suddenly, he heard shouting from the other side of the building. He looked down from the fence on the other side through the roof and saw that there was a fight underneath the library.
No, it's not people fighting, it's a couple of monsters with long hands, besieging a red-haired girl. The girl had a knife in each hand, and fought hard against the monsters.
This is!!
He suddenly felt that something very important had been violated, and at the first sight of those monsters, he did not feel afraid, but angry!
He involuntarily shouted, "Let go of her and come at me!"
The monsters all looked up when they heard him shout, and he heard them shout in hoarse voices, "The last one, that's the last one!"
They shouted as they gave up their siege of the girl and crawled up the walls of the library.
"Run! Li Jia, run!" the red-haired girl shouted.
He felt like she was calling herself. Those monsters have long arms and can easily climb up on the windowsill. In the blink of an eye, the fastest ones had climbed to the third floor.
The library was only more than ten stories high, and he estimated that it would take him half a minute at most before the monsters would climb up.
"Run, Li Jia, you can't beat these guys!"
He left the fence, opened the door to the top floor, and ran down the stairs.
By the way, I have remembered my name, my name is Li Jia. β
Li Jia thought as she ran, who was that girl, and why did she call me by name like a thousand times?
He started thinking about this question from the top floor, but ran to the second floor and couldn't find the answer. But at this point, the answer came to him on its own.
The red-haired girl ran up the stairs, her appearance was very embarrassed, covered in scars and blood, giving the impression that she would fall down at any moment. But as soon as he saw Li Jia, he stumbled over.
The two knives fell to the ground, and her hands grabbed his arm so that she would not fall from exhaustion. The two of them looked at each other from a distance of half a meter, and Li Jia could clearly see every scar on her face. These scars staggered all over her forehead, the bridge of her nose, her cheeks and even her lips. The appearance of those flesh and blood rolls can no longer be described as disgusting. But Li Jia felt strangely: she was thrilling and had a fatal attraction to him.
