"Yes, yes, Jiang Bai would not have done such a thing!" Paimon also tries to reassure her.

Hu Tao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "The top priority is to find Xiao, and if you find him, you will naturally know what happened." ”

"Zhongli, did you sense where Xiao is just now?" Paimon looked at Zhongli.

Zhongli raised his hand, and a talisman lit up and flew towards the depths of the cave.

"Follow it."

Several people followed the talisman all the way inside, and the original maze was like nothing under the guidance of this talisman, and finally, the talisman stopped in front of a stone wall.

"No way." Paimon spreads his hands.

Yelan took a closer look, "There's a hidden seal here, wait a minute." ”

Breaking through the formation, a new path appeared.

As soon as you step into it, the road behind you suddenly disappears, and the passage reverts to the appearance of a stone wall.

"Huh? Where are we coming? ”

Ichito was about to go back and have a look, but he hit his head on the stone wall.

"Hiss~" He covered his forehead and kicked hard at the stone wall, but the stone wall did not move at all.

Zhongli shook his head slightly, "It's useless, we've come to a new space." ”

"New space?" Kuki Shinobu looked at the knowledgeable Mr. Keqing, waiting for the other party's answer.

"Well, this underground should be a special space formed by multiple spaces overlapping together, let's try to shout Xiao here again."

Paimon did as he was told, and it didn't take long for Xiao's illusory voice to resurface, much clearer than before.

His form is clearly poor.

"Xiao, you should be able to come over now." Zhongli spoke softly.

Xiao nodded, and soon, he appeared in front of everyone with a spear in his hand.

Sora hurriedly supported him, looking at the blood marks on his body with some distress.

"Why did you hurt so badly?"

Xiao didn't care about his injuries, looked at Zhongli, and didn't dare to look up.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not protecting Jiang Bai well."

Zhongli was a little helpless, "You are not at fault, and you don't need to apologize to me." ”

Xiao was silent.

Obviously, Jiang Bai came down with him, but he lost Jiang Bai, and he couldn't pass his own level.

Yidou was really a little unfamiliar with Xiao's appearance, "Little brother, you are so seriously injured, let's take medicine first, don't faint for a while, even if you faint, then you have to tell us what happened before fainting." ”

"Boss!" Kuki Shinobu warned.

With a pout, he found a corner and squatted down to play by himself.

"Treat the wound first, don't rush this moment." Hu Tao helped Xiao sit down, but he was surprisingly calm.

If Jiang Bai really made a move on Xiao and injured Xiao like this, it means that Jiang Bai's condition is much better than Xiao's.

"I'll bandage you, I've got a medical certificate. I also brought food and water, and everyone took a break. ”

Kuki Shinobu took out bandages, food, and water.

I don't feel like I've been in this space for long, but I'm very tired, and it's necessary to take a proper rest.

Hearing this, Paimon, who had been feeling tired and panicked, suddenly became alive.

"What's so delicious?"

"There's sunset fruit."

Several people sat on the floor, resting and replenishing their strength.

Kuruma and Kuki Shinobu bandage Xiao's wounds.

took off his coat and wiped off the blood stained all over his body, and Xiao's wounds were completely exposed.

It was a sharp knife wound, and there were several knife wounds that even hurt the heart, and there was no mercy.

Hu Tao stared at the wounds, his expression darkened.

"What the hell is going on?"

She really couldn't figure out what happened to make Jiang Bai have such a heavy hand on Xiao.

"Jiang Bai and I dispersed when we entered this space, and then I came to the space where he was, but I didn't see his figure. I continued to go deeper, but he suddenly appeared in front of my eyes......"

"And then?" Hu Tao asked nervously.

"He's very different from usual, I don't get any response when I talk to him, and when I see me, it's like seeing an enemy......"

Xiao recalled the appearance of Jiang Bai he saw.

That Jiang Bai was embarrassed, exuding a decadent and crazy aura, his eyes did not have the slightest brilliance, if he didn't look exactly the same, he would have thought that it was two people.

"I don't know what's going on, so I can only passively dodge, but he doesn't have the slightest intention of sparing......"

One side has a lot of scruples, and the other side has a dead hand, Xiao can only passively take his attack.

It's just that Jiang Bai's style of play is the same as not wanting to die, and he doesn't care about the injuries on his body at all.

"How so?" Hu Tao was puzzled.

Zhongli thought for a moment and came up with a conjecture.

"I think it should be because of this space, what you encounter is not the real Jiang Bai."

There are many explanations as to what that is.

Perhaps it is the thoughts of the heart projected by the strong desire to intercept this space, perhaps the silhouette of the past intercepted from the long river of time, or the filth turned into by the siltation of the earth's leylines......

Perhaps, all three of the above are combined.

Xiao nodded slightly, "This space is weird, and as the wounds increase, I feel like my soul is becoming weak. ”

This space seemed to be using that "Jiang Bai" to devour his power.

"Then where is Jiang Bai?" Hu Tao was a little uneasy.

Xiao met Jiang Bai, did Jiang Bai also meet a similar Xiao?

Xiao shook his head, "When the idea of helping me find Jiang Bai becomes stronger, that [Jiang Bai] will appear in front of my eyes." ”

"Doesn't that mean that as long as I want to find him very, very, very much, then I can see the Jiang Bai you are talking about?"

Hu Tao no longer suppressed the overly strong desire in his heart to find Jiang Bai.

As if sensing her wish, a figure quietly appeared in the dark corner.

Hu Tao was stunned.

It was someone she knew all too well, but it looked so strange.

He was dressed in a scarred robe, his hair was disheveled, his skin was pale as paper, his eyes were sunken, and there was no brilliance in his pupils, with a deep exhaustion and depression.

He was holding Bai Yuan in his hand, and he was murderous when he looked at it.

His appearance was very different from the person she remembered, but it reminded her of the first time they met.

At that time, Jiang Bai was rescued and placed on the shore in such clothes, his skin was the same pale, but his eyes were closed at that time, and he did not have any breath of life.

Hu Tao looked at those eyes, they were so similar, yet so different.

Is this what he looked like before he lost his memory......

Hu Tao felt sour in the nose.

She thought she knew Jiang Bai very well, but now it seemed that it was far from enough.

She couldn't imagine what had happened to make that brilliant Jiang Bai look like there was no light in her eyes.
