A true demon with a mysterious charm and outward humility;

Never deliberately approach anyone, because there is always someone who will walk towards it.

……

In the dream, ugly and twisted creatures flashed in front of his eyes, and they did not make Xiaobai afraid.

But when that handsome face came to him with a soft smile......

She screamed in fear!

……

Xiaobai woke up and found that he was lying in his mother-in-law's arms.

Looking at her mother-in-law's worried eyes, she was stunned, and immediately sat up and looked around.

Surprisingly, nothing ......

The tense snow elves are all gone; The "savior" who once trusted him unreservedly, but gave himself the deepest despair in the end, is also gone; And the man with glasses who seemed to have said something strange to himself before he fell unconscious was also gone.

It was clear that Fang Fang was still facing an annihilation, and on the snow in the center of the village in front of him, there seemed to be nothing left except some blood stains mixed with the snow.

And the villagers, like herself, who are still a little frightened at the moment sitting in the snow.

OK......

The villagers are still there.

Xiao Bai stood up a little confused, his whole body was exerted, but there was pain in his neck, he couldn't help but snort softly, and subconsciously touched one hand.

Seeing this, the mother-in-law was so worried that she forgot her crutches, and hurriedly got up and came over to support Xiaobai, and asked, "Child, does it hurt?" You can't stand like this with a neck injury, go home and lie down. After that, he wanted to send Xiaobai in the direction of her residence.

This burst of pain made Xiaobai's mind resurface the "savior...... No, it's the face of the Snow Elf Lord.

Even though she was choked by the neck at the time, she could still see clearly the person's sudden transformation from a human face to an elf face.

Xiaobai shook his head, didn't think about him, and asked instead, "Mother-in-law, what happened?" What about the 'sub-people'? ”

When she asked her like this, her mother-in-law's heart, which had calmed down a little, trembled again, and even the hand holding Xiaobai was a little unstable.

Seeing her mother-in-law's embarrassment, Xiaobai felt more and more that things were not so simple, so she didn't force her mother-in-law to answer, and took her mother-in-law to a wooden stake to sit down, and then began to sort out her chaotic thoughts.

Because she received a double blow from her body and mind before she fell into a coma, her head was also a mess and cloudy at the moment.

She remembered that it was the man with glasses who had stayed in the village for the night, who led the second person to persecute his own villagers, and who brazenly claimed that the method of controlling people's nerves was not slavery, but a kind of mercy.

She remembered the unspeakable humiliation when the mighty snow elves treated the villagers like bundled animals.

She remembered the smug smile on the face of the lord who had toyed with them in the palm of his hand, and ...... The Snow Elf Lord also refers to humans as "subhumans".

The secondary, as the name suggests, the secondary, or ...... Inferior creatures, not people.

In this real world, where there were only humans a few years ago, these snow elves who suddenly emerged from the other world are not subhumans? Xiaobai doesn't know when this title came about, maybe after the disaster a few years ago.

But why, is it the human side that is facing the crisis?

Xiaobai gritted his teeth and shook off these distractions that were not what he should think about at the moment.

After a while, the mother-in-law seemed to come to her senses, and said softly in a voice as if she was afraid of being heard, "Just now...... I've never seen ...... in my life Horror, horror! ”

Calming down, the mother-in-law covered her heart, looked around, her eyes were fixed on the blood stains on the snow, and Xiaobai also followed her gaze.

"These blood ......," Xiaobai said uncertainly.

She hadn't had time to count the number of villagers, and the ominous premonition in her heart was still there.

The mother-in-law shook her head slightly and said, "This is the blood of those sub-people." ”

Xiaobai was dumbfounded.

"You fainted, and you don't know what happened...... When those sub-people started tying us up, the air suddenly cracked like this, no...... More than one, many seams. ”

The mother-in-law's tone began to hurry: "There are many pairs of blue and purple hands, stretching out from those cracks, tearing the seams like tearing paper, and the more they tear, the bigger and bigger they are, so big that those monsters that look like people and don't look like people squeeze out of them." ”

She looked at Xiaobai and blinked, and said in a trembling voice: "There are too many monsters coming out of the cracks, and they are constantly pouring out, as if there is no end...... The monsters that had already rushed out rushed madly at those sub-people, and then ...... Then, like a hungry ghost seeing food, he grabbed them with his hands, and bit them with his mouth, and threw them to the ground...... The sub-creatures began to fight back, but the guys slashed at the monsters, even if they cut off their legs and feet, it didn't work at all...... The monsters didn't know it hurt at all, but they bit harder. ”

The mother-in-law pointed to the snow and continued, "When a person was pounced, more than a dozen monsters came forward to eat him, one after another...... In the end, the whole ground was full of monsters, and it scared me......"

The more Xiaobai listened, the more frightened he became!

These monsters were seen by themselves in a flasha before they fell unconscious.

Suddenly, a sight flashed through her mind.

The last moment before the coma......

The abominable man with glasses, looking back at her with the mysterious look in his eyes.

She hurriedly asked, "What about the man with glasses?" What happened to him? ”

When her mother-in-law was asked by her, she immediately slapped her thigh, as if she remembered something important, and replied, "That person...... He didn't move the whole thing, but ......"

Xiaobai was a little anxious: "Mother-in-law, say it quickly!" ”

The mother-in-law clenched her fingers and said intermittently, "That person...... The man seemed completely indifferent to the situation at the time, but strangely...... Not a single monster ever attacked him, but ...... Instead, I saw him pointing with his fingers, and it was even more coincidental...... Wherever he pointed, the monsters pounced on him...... Hell yes. ”

Without looking at Xiao Bai's dumbfounded appearance, the mother-in-law stood up abruptly and said, "It's only been a few minutes before and after, and dozens of people have been overwhelmed by that group of monsters...... Or give it to eat...... Eaten...... Not even a single one ran away! Weapons, clothes...... Not even the scum left! And then...... And then the man with the glasses made a move, and it was just that......"

The mother-in-law actually did the same, and made a strange gesture of pulling back in front of Xiaobai.

The old man has a somewhat stiff posture, with an inexplicable sense of joy.

"Those monsters are scrambling to stuff themselves into those cracks in the air."

Speaking of this, the mother-in-law opened her mouth wide, and her eyes were like two melon seeds that she couldn't open for many years.

She looked at Xiaobai and said thoughtfully: "In my opinion, that young man with glasses is their commander!" ”

The corners of Xiaobai's mouth twitched.

Listening to her mother-in-law's emotional description, she felt that she had missed billions of dollars in this coma.

Totally incredible.

At the same time, of course, there is some gagging.

More than forty tall snow elves were eaten?

There's not even scum left, what kind of scene is that.

It's good that I didn't see it with my own eyes.

She didn't dare to think further.

Everything happened too suddenly, and Xiaobai calmed down his chaotic thoughts. The person who once believed unreservedly was the culprit who wanted to kill his compatriots, but the villain who was treacherous on the surface was......

But the hero who saved the whole village?

For anyone, it must be a little difficult to accept for a while.

If the man with glasses is a good person, why should he lead the second person to the village and put his compatriots in such a difficult situation?

Was it intentional? Pretending to be false to those sub-people, but in order to destroy them?

But if those monsters are really controlled by him and have this ability, why bother so much, just kill them directly to their lair.

Unreasonable, very unreasonable.

Thinking about it, Xiao Bai began to frown and look around.

"Mother-in-law, where's the man with glasses?"

I was entangled in my heart, and I had to ask him directly for clarification.

"He'......"

Before the mother-in-law could answer, the voice of the village chief came from behind her.

Xiao Bai turned around and saw two young hunters who were about the same age as himself, and the old village chief walked towards him, and said, "He left half an hour ago." ”

"Gone?"

Xiaobai exclaimed: "Village chief, just let him go?" ”

mixed a meal of food and drink, causing a catastrophe and bringing the rest of the catastrophe...... The appearance of this mysterious man with glasses has disrupted everything here and left too many mysteries.

But at this moment, the person is gone?

Whom to reason!

"This ......"

The village chief was a little puzzled: "Can we still forcibly leave him behind?" ”

After seeing the man's actions and finally showing his terrifying methods, even if everyone has more questions at this moment, it is inevitable that they will have lingering palpitations. As powerful as those snow elves, they were wiped out in an instant, how could these individuals in the village have ever experienced such a thing, in case ......

What if that person is not a savior, but a god, how can they resist? Besides, it's hard to say whether it's a savior or not.

It's easy to ask God to send God, and people want to leave by themselves, and the big guys are naturally happy to see it.

Xiaobai was speechless, and there was an inexplicable sullen feeling in his chest.

At this time, the village chief groped in his arms for a while, took out a piece of brown paper folded in half, carefully unfolded it, and then stepped forward and handed it to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai hurriedly took it, and when he looked at it, it seemed to be a somewhat rough map.

Before she had time to take a closer look, she heard the village chief tell her: "This is left by the man just now, he said that the sub-people in the vicinity have been cleaned up, and their old nest is still stockpiling a lot of useful supplies, and the location has been clearly drawn on it, let us go over and fetch it...... After giving this to us, he left. ”

When Xiaobai heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Could this be a trap?" ”

The village chief smiled bitterly: "I don't think so, if he wants to harm us, there is no need to go through such a big effort." ”

Holding the crutches in his hand, the old man closed his eyes and took a deep breath, drove the picture that frightened him just now out of his mind, and said slowly: "When those people poured into the village before, I thought everything was over...... I thought it was the bespectacled boy who was hurting us and hating him...... But on second thought, the whole thing may not be what we see. ”

He patted Xiaobai on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, everything has passed, and we should be safe." As the saying goes, we rely on misfortune and blessing, and now we are in great trouble and do not die, and we have picked up these life-saving supplies in vain, which is already blessed by God, and the rest ...... Look no further. ”

The village chief shoulders more responsibilities, and while his heart palpitates, he has not forgotten to consider the livelihood of the whole village, so he is very concerned about these materials that have not yet arrived. This village, tucked away in the snowfields, has a history of seventy or eighty years. Due to the cold climate, the perennial snow covers, and the nearby crop fields do not grow too many patterns, so the villagers mainly live by hunting. It's just that the snow ridge is bitterly cold, wild beasts are rarely infested, and the hunting conditions are a little harsh, even if they are hard-working, they can't save any surplus reserves in a year.

Extra supplies are a great way to get in the snow.

With that, he turned and said to the two young hunters, "Children, call a few strong men and take them back to the village according to the instructions on the map, remember, be careful." ”

"I'll go too!" Xiaobai hurriedly said.

Although she is a girl, since she came here, she has always been the child king of the village, and she usually leads the young people to hunt, and even the only rifle in the village is also kept by her.

So no matter what action he takes, Xiaobai will subconsciously put himself in the position of the leader.

But before the village chief stopped her, her mother-in-law was not happy at first.

"You can't go, you've got a neck injury, you've been hurting your muscles and bones for a hundred days, and it's very troublesome if you fall ill."

The mother-in-law patted her neck and said, "If you don't take care of it, you will have to be like me in the future, worrying about this cervical spondylosis every day." ”

Then he pulled Xiaobai and walked towards her residence.

......

The village is small, but it's just a short walk to Little White's wooden house.

After resisting to no avail, Xiaobai was still forcibly supported by her mother-in-law and laid on the bed.

After building a life for her, the mother-in-law carefully looked at the layout of the room again, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "You said that you are a child, every girl is like a child, and the room is messy." ”

The mother-in-law walked over to the pot and rummaged through it, sighed, patted her body and straightened up.

"Why don't you even have some firewood in the house, look at your ...... days"

Xiao Bai, who was reprimanded, blushed a little: "I've been sleeping in the plum house for the past few days, isn't it that I haven't had time to get it." ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she said angrily: "Hey, what do you say about your little girl...... The plum is close to the green onion these days, but the green onion and his parents stick their heads every day, hoping that his son can marry the plum back as a daughter-in-law. Seeing that things are about to be done, it's better for you to be a light bulb between the two every day, delaying the cultivation of feelings. I can tell you, if this matter is yellow, the old couple of the green onion family will have to reason with you! ”

Xiaobai sneered: "That's Meizi always pulling me, asking me to give him a reference and come up with ideas......"

"Alright, alright!" The mother-in-law scolded with a smile: "You don't have a word about your own affairs, and you give ideas to others, don't make jokes." ”

As she spoke, the mother-in-law picked up the kettle on the table and walked towards the door.

"I'll boil some hot water, and then get some herbs for you to compress, you can't delay this muscle and bone injury."

......

Listening to the sound of the door being closed, Xiaobai sat up from the bed.

The silence in the room at the moment, and the shouting and killing not long ago, seem to be two worlds.

Touching her neck, she didn't care about the trivial pain, after all, when she went out hunting a few years ago, she had suffered a more serious injury.

What she couldn't let go of was the weird man with glasses.

In other words, the appearance of this man with glasses made her touch something that she thought she would never be able to touch in her life.

Clue? Reason? The truth?

At this moment, she has no way to describe it, let alone be sure......

The appearance of this person was like the appearance of the "catastrophe" five years ago, suddenly and without warning.

Today's scene is very similar to what happened in my memory.

She fell into the memory.

......

Xiaobai, who was 14 years old that year, lived with his parents in Dongyuan City, the capital of the north. In his early years, his parents went to the capital to make a living, opened a butcher shop and started a small business, and with the ancestral secret sausage recipe, he was quite famous in the street near the rental house.

In school, Xiaobai's academic performance is not particularly good, but she is naturally enthusiastic and often helpful, always full of positive energy, and can also mingle with most of her classmates.

Happy family, happy campus, friendly partners......

Originally, everyone could enjoy such a peaceful day.

Until that day......

December 28, 2035.

Not only Xiaobai, but everyone in this world will not forget that day.

Xiaobai still remembers that when he went to school that morning, his classmates were happily discussing that the "Metaverse" would make a historic breakthrough today, and it was not clear what the specific content was, because there were different opinions. However, it should generally mean that users no longer need to go through external brain-computer interfaces to enter the metaverse, but have used advanced technology to achieve a high degree of integration with the real world with zero latency......

However, because the school does not support children's early exposure to the "metaverse", Xiaobai does not know about it, but only knows a little about it.

But just when the discussion had not subsided, the "city-wide alarm" sounded in Dongyuan City, which had never sounded before......

The school leaders and teachers rushed to organize the whole school to gather in the playground, and then police cars and military vehicles appeared at the school gate one after another, and the children were sent up in batches.

Xiaobai was also confused and hesitant, and was hugged into a military vehicle.

The car was speeding out of the city, and the students couldn't see the scene outside the window clearly in the car, but they could hear sounds similar to gunfights, explosions, and shouts of killing that can only be heard in movies.

It was also accompanied by some stiff comfort from the accompanying soldiers.

Immediately afterward, Xiaobai heard a loud noise, and immediately felt weightless. A powerful shock wave caused the entire military vehicle to roll out on its side.

One of the tall soldiers held Xiaobai in his arms, protecting her from the secondary injuries caused by the roll. When the military vehicle stopped, the soldier hurriedly carried Xiaobai out of the carriage and anxiously motioned for her to flee to the depths of the Linhai Snow Plain.

"Keep running! Don't look back! ”

After the soldier finished speaking, he picked up the rifle on the ground and rushed out reflexively.

She was too young and scared at the time.

So she listened to the words of the soldier and fled into the depths without looking back.

The moment he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a group of people rushing towards him.

A group of people who are twice as tall and twice as strong as normal, with greenish-yellow skin.

She didn't dare to look anymore, she kept running.

Until you are exhausted, until you fall in the snow.

I don't know if it's too lucky, but when she woke up again, she found herself lying on a bed in a room, with a mother-in-law watching over her.

It's this bed, this room, and the mother-in-law who went out to boil water for her.

......

Xiaobai, who came out of the memory, had tears rolling faintly in his eyes.

The village is self-sufficient and almost isolated from the outside world, and except for the occasional person who has fled from the outside and tells the rest of what he has seen and heard. To this day, she has never heard from her parents.

More than once, she wanted to leave here and return to Dongyuan to find her parents and find the truth about the catastrophe back then.

But the shadow of her youth was like a magic barrier in her heart, and this big net woven by fear firmly held the little white net in the village for five years.

Originally, what happened today, Xiaobai thought that it was the continuation of this big net, and it was the end of his fate that he had avoided for five years.

However, something happened to happen.

The man with glasses......

No one knew that that strange outsider was like a knife to her.

And this knife cut a small hole in this web of fear.

And he desperately wants to put his hand out of the net.

Xiaobai slowly stood up and stretched out his hand.

Grab the canvas bag at the foot of the bed.

......

"Boiling water!"

Outside the door, there was a mother-in-law's shout.

Seeing that there was no response in the house, the mother-in-law pouted and pushed the door into the house.

However, the room was empty, and the bag that had been placed there was gone.

Sighing deeply, her mother-in-law's wrinkled face was full of melancholy.

It looks a little older.
