It's really too late.

Although there is no time limit for clearing the level in Puppet Town, the evil puppeteer sealed in the basement has awakened.

They didn't find the Cursed Spike that could kill the puppeteer, the hotel that was a safe spot had been destroyed, their panel stats were basically bottomed out, and there were few items left that could be used.

The attacking puppets outside have already drained the chapel, and it won't be long before the chapel can't protect them anymore.

"I didn't expect that I would die here."

Xie Zhi laughed at himself, looking at Shi Yunxiao who was sitting with the puppet Secia, he still couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do with the soul bead?" ”

Shi Yunxiao slowly turned his head to look at him, he had been fighting with monsters all night without closing his eyes, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, in the past in the copy, his eyes were always bright and firm, but at this moment his eyes were much darker, as if something was broken in his eyes.

Such a look made Xie Zhi dare not look at it, and even secretly scolded himself for being a bastard.

But his apology is unspeakable, he also wants to live, he is not wrong.

"Don't blame yourself."

Shi Yunxiao's voice was hoarse, and he stood up and looked out the door, "Even if the soul bead is in my hand, I'm afraid I may not be able to clear it." ”

Xie Zhi was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Shi Yunxiao didn't answer him, but made a deal with him.

"I have a way to get you out alive, but you have to promise me one condition?"

"On what terms?"

"Protect my sister, I will give you everything I have gained, you can get everything from me, and you must swear by your life, do everything in your power to protect her safety, and not let her be threatened by any life."

Xie Xiang agreed to this condition.

Then, for the first time, he saw the dungeon about to collapse, the panels pulsing with warnings flashing red, and the harsh sirens of the system filled his ears.

He didn't know how Shi Yunxiao did it, he saw that Shi Yunxiao just asked Secia to return to the altar and sit upright.

He prayed to her.

At this time, he actually believed in a puppet made by a puppeteer and worshipped her as a god.

But Shi Yunxiao did it and gained the power from the gods.

He also reactivated the magic array outside that could go back to the past, and took him to get a soul bead again.

Shi Yunxiao used this soul bead in front of him, praying for a girl to come back to life in good health.

After using up the soul beads, Shi Yunxiao opened the system backpack to him and gave him everything, including the system permissions he obtained.

He is a player, and he actually has the system permissions that only gods have.

Xie Zhi successfully came out of Doll Town alive, but he will not have the information to clear the dungeon, and the Doll Town dungeon has undergone a major cleansing, and will not leave any player information, including players.

After he came out, on the player ranking of the Falling Star City Square, he saw that Shi Yunxiao's name had been dimmed, indicating that he had died.

And Zhao Chengming and Xuan Ye were judged by the system to be a sixth-level punishment and sent to the abyss of evil ghosts.

He was the only one who quietly came out of Doll Town safely, and no player knew that he had entered Doll Town and came out alive.

He survived, but at a cost.

He needs to fulfill Shi Yunxiao's promise to protect his sister, a girl he has never met.

It's not that he hasn't met before, when he cleared the puppet town, he saw Shi Yunxiao's memory, and he even gave him his memory about his sister.

It was a girl with a cold and arrogant personality, but on the surface she always liked to pretend to be a little lamb.

But she is also very unlucky, she has always encountered all kinds of accidents since she was a child, often injured, and brushed shoulders with death, as if God couldn't get used to her and wanted to take her in.

Shi Yunxiao loves her very much, and she also relies on Shi Yunxiao.

The brother and sister grew up dependent on each other, only each other, which was an emotion he had never felt.

He saw Shi Yunxiao's sister Xiao Zhimiao in the hospital.

Much thinner than what he saw in Shi Yunxiao's memory, because he had been lying in the hospital bed for more than two months, without activity or sun, and his skin was very pale.

The doctor said that she had woken up and gradually returned to normal health from a vegetative state, which was a miracle.

There is no miracle, this is what Shi Yunxiao exchanged for his life.

He sat down beside her, looking at her face, which resembled that of the doll Cessia, and his heart was filled with shock and doubt.

What is the relationship between that doll and her? Shi Yunxiao only entered the game after she had a car accident, could it be just a coincidence that the two looked alike?

It makes sense, it's just a coincidence, their hair is different, and Secia's eyes are red.

It's just that the puppet looks like a sister, and Shi Yunxiao will show his love for the puppet.

Xie Zhi silently persuaded himself like this, but in the next second, he heard Xiao Zhimiao speak, although he didn't understand it very well, but he could hear the language she said, which was only available in the land of God's presence.

At that moment, he thought he was hallucinating, he looked at Xiao Zhimiao, her eyes were closed, and her mouth was muttering non-stop.

He leaned into her ear and tried to communicate with her, but she just spoke to herself, sometimes popping up a sentence or two that he could understand, but it was chaotic and illogical.

The doctor who came to check on the ward said to him: "She has slept for two months, and her consciousness is not particularly awake, she always wakes up and sleeps for a while, and it will take a while to recover slowly." ”

In those days, Xie Zhi often came to see her, but he staggered with the noisy young man named Lu Qingyang late at night.

In the few days when he accompanied Xiao Zhimiao, the word he heard the most was his brother.

She kept calling her brother in her mouth, saying some daily things to get along with, eating, studying, going out, training and playing games.

It was as if she was in a dream, and in her dream she was living a normal life with her brother as usual.

She loved it.

It's just Shi Yunxiao, her brother Xiao Yun is dead and can't come back.

Late at night, listening to the girl talking to her brother without saying a word, and sometimes laughing twice, Xie Zhi's mind will keep popping up about the fact that he snatched Shi Yunxiao's soul bead in the puppet town.

At that time, they still lacked a spell nail to clear the customs and could not seal the copy boSS, but he still didn't believe that Shi Yunxiao would not clear the customs if he had a soul bead.

If he can't clear the customs, then why can he come out again?

Shi Yunxiao even has system permissions, and he has a soul bead, so he can completely clear the level with the soul bead by himself.

It was he who killed Shi Yunxiao.

He always thinks that if a person like Shi Yunxiao hadn't snatched his soul bead, would he have taken him to clear Doll Town with him?

After all, Xie Zhi didn't dare to bet.

He didn't dare to bet that a man who had only met a few times in the copy would take care of him in the face of life and death, even though he had already classified Shi Yunxiao as a good person in his heart, he still didn't dare to bet.

The experience from childhood to adulthood has made him understand that the human heart is the most untrustworthy, far more terrifying than any monster.

In the final analysis, Xie Zhi actually hated Shi Yunxiao a little, hated why he met him, and hated why Shi Yunxiao didn't attack him in the copy several times, but wanted to cooperate with him.

The hater Yunxiao didn't have any blame for him snatching the soul bead, but planned everything in his heart, so that now he has to bear the same responsibility as him.

Why should he trust himself, trust him to protect his sister?

"Brother......

In the dimly lit hospital room, the girl's somewhat cold hand gently held his hand.

She opened her eyes slightly, mistaking him for Xiao Yun.

"Brother, it's good that you're still here."

"I won't go to summer camp anymore, and I won't skateboard with anyone else, I'll go to your store to work with you, and we can walk home together."

"I want to eat the new burger at the intersection, I heard that there will be salty ice cream, I really want to eat ice cream, why is it all sweet?"

"Brother, you are not allowed to go anywhere......"

The girl said these words in a daze, and when she saw that he was at ease, she fell into a deep sleep and stopped talking nonsense, and the room fell silent.

Xie Zhi looked at the hand holding him, the pale and thin even the blood vessels were clearly visible, and the slender ones seemed to break as soon as they were broken.

After a long time, he grabbed his hair, pulled his hand out and ran out of the room.

"!"

What a damn thing!

Thanks, you fucking damn it, what the fuck did you do?

In the corridor of the hospital late at night, Xie Zhi punched the wall one by one, roaring silently.

He has always been alone, whether it is reality or games, he never wants to carry anything, he hates Xiao Yun in his heart for letting him carry his promises, and he is tightly entangled by guilt, every time he dreams back at midnight, he will think of Shi Yunxiao calmly and said to him that it doesn't matter.

Fuck, why do you say it's okay, why didn't you give him two punches in the face, Shi Yunxiao, what the fuck are you a holy father, but I just deliberately wanted to make him feel guilty.

Xie Zhi couldn't forget Xiao Zhimiao's reaction when he came to his senses and heard that Shi Yunxiao was dead.

He wore a mask, hid outside the ward, watched her hear the news, and sat quietly for a long time, without saying anything.

Just when everyone thought that she would probably be able to accept it slowly, she suddenly got off the hospital bed, pushed away Lu Qingyang, who stepped forward to help her, and dragged the hanging water bottle out.

Lu Qingyang kept talking to her to persuade her, she grabbed him by the neck and pressed him to the wall, so strong that she knocked his forehead into blood, and then threw the person to the ground.

Everyone else was frightened and didn't dare to step forward, so they watched her drag the shelves hanging potions and move step by step to the outside of the hospital.

After lying in the hospital for more than two months, she was somewhat malnourished and had mild muscle atrophy, and she couldn't walk very fast.

He didn't dare to step forward, not because he was afraid that she would treat him like Lu Qingyang, but because he didn't dare to face her.

If Xiao Zhimiao could forgive him for beating him, he would hand her a knife.

But in Shi Yunxiao's memory, he knew that she would not forgive easily.

Shi Yunxiao is too important to her.

He just watched Xiao Zhimiao stubbornly walk out step by step, she fell at the door of the hospital, he stepped forward to help her, and was quickly pushed away by her.

In this way, she walked from the hospital to her home step by step, Lu Qingyang covered her head and followed her with a big bag, and he followed not far behind the two of them.
