"But a pious and kind man like you is destined to be rewarded with the best. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Reno comforted, "Layla, I know you grieve for those two sisters who didn't survive. But it's not your fault, you're great enough, look at those empty cells next door, those wandering ghosts, it's all your credit that we can survive so much. ”

Layla shook her head sadly, "But ......"

"Blame yourself for not letting your friends survive in Hell, Layla, you're underestimating Hell!"

Reno patted his shoulder vigorously: "Don't think about it, it's a good thing to be able to turn danger into a disaster again, and there will be no sorrow when you fill your stomach." ”

Layla nodded and took a gentle bite, but only felt bitter in her mouth.

But this time, Layla's heart was always throbbing, and she found an opportunity to go to the side of the plant alone, and saw the green leaves, which seemed to be a little excessively green, and for some reason tears wanted to flow uncontrollably from her eyes.

It seems that the plant is breathing, gently and undulatingly like a human.

Layla could even hear it crying.

A very ominous premonition came over her, and Layla shook her head desperately to shake away the terrifying thought that had suddenly appeared in her mind, but finally she picked up the torn hem of her linen skirt and knelt down, and frantically reached to dig the dark soil where the roots of the potatoes were hidden.

Although she harvested potatoes every day and turned over the soil layer, today she suddenly felt that this extremely familiar soil layer had an unfamiliar smell of blood.

The round, pale yellow fruits lay intact in the soil, but Layla rudely plucked them off and tossed them aside, then slashed deeper, her fingernails broken and blood stained all over her fingers.

Eventually, Layla let out a low exclamation and didn't breathe for a full minute, tears pouring down like a waterfall.

Buried in the deepest part of the soil is a dead girl, one of the "both" that Reno mentions.

She was wounded in the back of the head, apparently killed by a sneak attack.

Layla suddenly understood everything-

She was killed by her companions and buried here.

Because Layla's crops need nutrients again.

Every time someone disappears, there is a small harvest of potatoes, and this time it was, as did the last so-called "betrayal".

It turns out that these plants thrive by absorbing human blood, and they are a dark secret that must not be exposed to the light!

Layla suddenly felt that those cute potatoes that were round and white seemed to have human faces.

No wonder I can't chew potatoes at all, and I feel inexplicably bitter and scared.

It turned out that the crops he had carefully cultivated had long tried to tell himself the secret.

In extreme grief and terror, Layla did not see a tall and capable figure slowly approaching behind her.

"If you don't know anything, that's fine. The speaker's tone was bone-chilling.

Layla stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "Reno, did you do all this, you murderous demon!"

Rino shrugged helplessly, the crystal shard in his hand glistening: "That's right, the first time I cut off Kahran's neck, then buried her here, then destroyed one of the potatoes, and smashed myself unconscious, lying that Kahlan betrayed everyone. The second time, I tried my best to break Dela's neck, make a hole in Lucy's heart, bury them as fertilizer, and lie that the black oil droplets made them fight and fall off the cliff. Hehe, the ghost knows what the black oil droplets are actually for. ”

"Why ......" Layla is extremely painful, containing both the deep mourning for the deceased and the sharp pain of discovering the true face of her friend.

"Remember the conversation between the two of us? Plants are great beings, and with soil, light, water, and air, they can create nutrients that allow other lives to survive. But this is hell, and there is no more place to plant seeds, and the only way to increase production is to make the barren soil fertile."

Reno said with a smirk, "So you see, you made me do this." ”

Layla yelled, "I've never let you do such a cruel thing!"

Reno crossed his waist lightly, "That's right, Layla." You are a saint, and I am a person who just wants to live. You know, if I hadn't done that, the crops wouldn't have gone up at all, and if I hadn't done anything, we'd all be dead by now. ”

Reno slowly approached, smiled wickedly, and said, "Isn't your guilt even stronger if your companion is starved to death?" But until you know everything today, my actions have not added any burden to you, you are still shining, still full of hope and will not give in, you are a pure white and clean flower blooming in hell, what's wrong with that. I'm just snatching the sin for you. ”

Reno continued, "Fellows who starve to death are also used as fertilizer, right? So nothing has changed, it's just that the order in which they die is a little bit earlier." ”

Layla was shocked and barely regained a little sane: "Reno, it turns out that you are really thinking about me?"

Reno smiled exaggeratedly, "Of course! I'm just going to help you in this way, and it's dishonorable, but it's effective enough." ”

Layla said calmly, "Then why are you hiding a crystal shard behind you?"

Reno stopped, his face expressionless, his dry hair fluttering slightly.

"Reno, actually, you...... He has long since fallen into a demon. Layla pointed at Reno and said with a round glare, "Although I am sad, I have to accept this fact! My most trusted friend has always been, if you are not a demon now, how can you decide how they should die for others so calmly!"

Reno grinned slightly unhappily and let out a cutting sound.

Layla exclaimed, "Yes, without our companions as fertilizer, sooner or later we will all starve to death, but this sad ending is decided by the god of death Volo and the goddess of fate, so let's just accept it quietly." I will indeed gather the dead under the plant, and the plant will become lush and the food crisis will be alleviated. But when we eat our food, we are filled with gratitude and nostalgia, instead of taking a bite of a potato and smelling of sin all over our mouths!"

Reno suddenly changed his face, became angry, and scolded: "You are really pedantic! What a god, don't you understand! This is the realm of Knox, the god of darkness, and it is a place where other gods can't interfere at all! Only by really embracing the darkness can you survive here!"

Reno took out the shards of the hedron and pounced on them, sneering wildly and saying, "I'll tell you the truth, I've long been very unhappy with your useless kindness! The reason why I didn't kill you is because I don't have the ability to make potatoes bear fruit in a day, so I have to let you continue to live for use." ”

"W-what!" Layla took a step back in shock.

"Do you think I really want to help everyone survive together by staying at the bottom? Either live together or die together, I didn't expect you to believe this kind of stupid thing one by one!"

Reno pointed frantically upwards: "I'm just waiting for the fight above to end! I'm not stupid enough to plan to break through to the end, although staying at the bottom at the beginning means waiting for death, but now from another point of view, isn't the bottom of the unsupervised bottom the best place to hide? Stay at the bottom and pretend to be good people and wait for them to die, I will go up and make up for it again, and become the last survivor, and I haven't violated the rules at all." ”

Reno licked the blood on the sharp hedron, and the pain suddenly contracted: "The biggest villain will always choose to stay in the deepest hell, this is the orthodox plot, hehe, this kind of thing, you didn't expect it, right?"

Reno raised the hedron and stabbed at Layla, "Okay, since you don't cooperate, I don't have to act." I'll kill you first, and then turn this bottom into a hell of blood pools that slash each other, I don't need your potatoes anymore, and then I can continue to hold on to the top until the top stops. ”

The hedron pierced into the heart, and scorching blood gushed out.

It wasn't Layla's heart that was pierced.

Reno got carried away and stumbled over the roots of the plant, the weapon in his hand piercing his chest.

Layla felt that the fire of her soul had been extinguished, and she sat on the ground and let the blood of her old friend stain her red, her body pale and stiff, unable to move.

She didn't know that it was the plants she had carefully cultivated that saved her.

Or the spirit of her companion who was mutilated by Reno demanded her life.

In short, this desperate betrayal caused Layla to lose almost all of her will, and when she came to her senses, she found that her living companions had already surrounded her.

I don't know when their conversation has been listened to, and there is no secret anymore.

"So...... If it weren't for Reno killing people as nutrients, Layla, your crops wouldn't be able to feed everyone at all, would they?"

"So, to be able to live together to the end, was it a lie from the beginning?"

Layla felt that the eyes of these companions were cold and unfamiliar.

None of them seemed to think Reno was at fault.

They even think Layla is really inexplicable. What is the need to expose such a truth, and what is wrong with maintaining the status quo all the time, and no longer killing people as fertilizer, is there another bad harvest? Isn't famine coming again?

But one of the girls said happily, "However, we have killed four people in total, and even if the production is still as small as before, the number distributed to each person can be increased." ”

She was glad that her companion had died!

Layla feels confused and isolated. Where are they, who are they, do I really know them?

Layla sees them as inhuman, they see Layla as an alien, old-fashioned, pretentious and inflexible, relying on their own magic to grow vegetables, and even to force the so-called "everyone can't do evil" naïve rules.

In everyone's eyes, Layla has long ceased to be a radiant flower of hope.

It's just a nuisance stumbling block.
