Chapter 60: Fragments of Memory

Xiao Yao tried several times but couldn't climb up, and finally relied on Shen Jie to pull him.

When the two of them left the water dungeon and began to look for a way out, they found that it was a dark labyrinth.

The narrow passage was dark and damp, the walls were slippery as far as his fingers could reach, the iron railings and chains were rusty, the smell of iron and blood in the air mixed with the smell of tetanus, and there were still deep or shallow puddles on the ground, Xiao Yao could hear Shen Jie walking in front, and every step of the way made a "poof" and "poof" sound of water from his shoes.

"Go as high as you can, shouldn't it be good?" A cold drop of water fell on Xiao Yao's forehead, making him shiver.

"Probably so." Shen Jie's right hand held a small flame hanging in the air, and the torch illuminated the way ahead a little bit.

"So, you're an archmage now?" Xiao Yao sighed: "It's really like a game." It's a pity that I don't know how to use my knightly abilities yet? ”

"I can't tell you, I don't ...... myself" Shen Jie felt very uncomfortable with the wet clothes sticking to her body, but there was no way now: "Didn't you get Don Quixote's badge earlier than me?" ”

"Hmmm......"

"By the way, who the hell is this Mary or something?" Shen Jie looked at the "badge" in the palm of her left hand again.

"You don't even know her, why did you summon her?" Xiao Yao asked puzzled.

"I don't know ...... either"

"If I'm not mistaken, maybe, maybe, probably, a medieval Queen of England...... I can't remember the specifics," Xiao Yao tried to recall: "It's said that it's quite a burner, and it's called Bloody Mary - don't blame me if you remember it." ”

"Ae? When you talk about Bloody Mary, I have the impression that it is a cocktail that I like very much," Shen Jie said eloquently: "Mixed with vodka, tomato juice, lemon slices or something, it looks like blood, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, it is very ......exciting."

"Is it better than a glass bottle of Coca-Cola?"

"I don't want to talk to you."

"Say," Xiao Yao asked another question, "Why are you all queens, but I am only a knight?" ”

"Or else?"

"If you are the queen, I should be the king."

Shen Jie burst out laughing.

"Oh, don't start again." Xiao Yao said.

Fortunately, Shen Jie didn't start her wild laughter: "Wang only walks one square in one round, do you plan to retire here?" ”

"What's the point?" Xiao Yao didn't react for a while.

"Chess, if you don't, I'll teach you another day." The girl said proudly.

"Okay, that's what you said," Xiao Yao keenly used this as another dating excuse: "Miss Shen is really versatile, Qin Qi-"

Xiao Yao was halfway through his words, and Shen Jie suddenly turned around and pushed him away.

"What are you doingβ€”"

A thing flew in front of Xiao Yao with a "whoosh"! When he looked back, he saw that a crossbow bolt had been driven deep into the crack in the wall.

"What the hellβ€”" Xiao Yao was shocked.

Before he could react, Shen Jie had already taken a few steps forward, raised her left leg, and threw the fireball in her hand in the direction where the arrow came from in the posture of a baseball pitcher.

The fireball slid quickly and illuminated a panicked figure, and Shen Jie rushed forward without hesitation.

Xiao Yao also hurriedly followed, but the two figures in front of him quickly disappeared into the darkness as the small fireball was extinguished, leaving only the echo of fists and feet breaking through the wind and shouting in his ears.

Although Xiao Yao was very worried about Shen Jie, the dark environment around him and the slippery ground under his feet forced him to slow down. At the same time, the sound of the fight ahead also stopped abruptly.

"Shen Jie!! Are you okay? ”

The sudden silence made Xiao Yao nervous, and he wanted to run a few steps fast but his feet slipped and he fell painfully.

"Wife!" Xiao Yao's voice trembled a little.

There was suddenly another light in front of him, at first it was just a candle-like point of light, and then it quickly extended into a cross-shaped flare, and then the heat wave that swept over followed by the strong light like a supernova explosion, making Xiao Yao feel like he was in a burning hell in an instant.

Fortunately, everything came and went quickly, and when Xiao Yao regained his eyesight, Shen Jie had already returned to him.

"What are you calling old-" Shen Jie said angrily.

The girl had a small flame against her fingertips, and there were some dried stains on her body and face, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Yao rushed forward and hugged the girl in his arms: "I was really anxious to die just now!" ”

Shen Jie opened her hands wide, and she didn't push him away, nor did she hug him back: "Good, what can I do, you're okay, Your Majesty the King with short legs." ”

"Are there any injuries?" Xiao Yao suddenly found that the clothes of the two people were already dry, and they were very comfortable.

"Nope." Shen Jie quietly broke free from Xiao Yao's embrace, summoned the small flame again, and took Xiao Yao to see the human-shaped coke on the ground. Not far from the coke, a small hand crossbow and a few scattered crossbow arrows were dropped, and it looked like the attacker.

"How did you do that?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"I don't know very well, after there is no light, it catches me in the dark, I can't see clearly, so I have to hug it, and then that's it."

"Ah, that's so detailed." Xiao Yao muttered in his heart and didn't say it out loud.

He picked up the crossbow and checked it, and it seemed that it was still usable, but when he tried to open the string, he tried several times without success because one hand could not use it.

"Okay, no, you." Shen Jie took the crossbow with her hand, opened the strings, and finished loading a crossbow arrow.

"My wife is just capable." Xiao Yao tried to shoot, the function was normal, and the accuracy was good.

"Can you not take a bite of a wifeβ€”β€”!" Shen Jie was annoyed and ashamed, took the empty crossbow and pointed at Xiao Yao's neck.

"Yes, Miss!" Xiao Yao failed to test the boundary and immediately withdrew.

"Alright, you'll have a weapon if you have anything to do." Shen Jie teased Xiao Yao while re-winding: "Your Majesty the King, who takes one step at a time and shoots one shot at a game of chess, protect me." ”

Xiao Yao wanted to say "love the concubine flat", but forget it after thinking about it.

After this encounter, the two men became more cautious as they advanced, in case of another sneak attack.

Thankfully, they didn't get into any more trouble.

"Could this be an exit?" Shen Jie stood on tiptoe, but still couldn't reach the plank on her head.

Xiao Yao waved his hand and jumped, but he couldn't reach it, so he consciously squatted down.

Shen Jie rode up with a familiar car and raised her hand to push the plank away.

Xiao Yao let out a loud shout and pushed her up.

Shen Jie reached out and grabbed a ceramic-like ring, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

The place where I got out turned out to be a big, dry ...... Toilet?

It's disgusting!

Shen Jie got off the ground, reached out and scooped Xiao Yao up from the toilet, and the two stood in the toilet cubicle, looking at each other.

This is the toilet cubicle of St. Francis Middle School, and the light is very bright, Xiao Yao couldn't help but squint for a while.

The girl's hair was all messy, there were several mud marks on her face, whether it was clothes, pants, shoes and socks, the original color could not be seen at all, and the wide-legged pants even cracked twice, revealing the skin that was no longer snow-white.

But even so, she is still very good-looking, Xiao Yao thought.

Shen Jie stretched out her hand to unlock the door of the compartment, opened the door a crack, and when she saw that there was no one, she walked out, followed by Xiao Yao.

The two were just about to walk to the door of the bathroom, but a "Zhou Qi" ran in in a panic.

"Damn." Shen Jie didn't hesitate at all, preemptively attacked, and rushed straight over with flames, but passed through that "Zhou Qi" and didn't touch anything - that "Zhou Qi" just flickered.

Then, the "Zhou Qi" went straight through Xiao Yao's body, flashed again, ran to the corner and squatted, holding his head.

"It seems to be a phantom ......," Xiao Yao said.

If you look closely, this "Zhou Qi" is not dressed by Seckel, but wearing a uniform of junior high school students in the magic capital - a white T-shirt top, a red scarf, and black shorts.

Before the two could react to what was going on, several more girls in the same uniform walked in and walked past them as if no one was around.

Xiao Yao watched in amazement as four or five girls surrounded Zhou Qi in the corner, and one of them, who looked like a "big sister", took tap water with a bucket and poured it on Zhou Qi's head.

"Don't look at it, let's go." Shen Jie pulled Xiao Yao, and when he went out, he couldn't help but look back again.

When I came out of the bathroom, it was not a hallway, but an unfamiliar classroom.

For this unreasonable spatial structure, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie have long been surprised.

"It doesn't look like it's a classroom at your school." Shen Jie said.

"Not really."

The classroom was full of students who turned a blind eye to them, and there was no teacher around, and there was a commotion around, thinking it was a self-study class.

Zhou Qi, who was wearing a junior high school uniform, walked in from the door of the classroom and moved back to his seat step by step.

Her schoolbag was thrown to the floor, there was a suspiciously colored liquid on her chair, and her textbooks and homework books were scattered all over the floor.

Zhou Qi's lips were deflated, but she didn't say anything, just squatted down and began to pick up her homework book.

That is, until she lifted her desk and found it full of garbage.

Zhou Qi finally looked around angrily, but the whole class was indifferent.

"This, this is ......" Xiao Yao, who was watching this farce, made a sound.

"Looks like it's some kind of memory fragment, reproduced or something?" Shen Jie calmly assessed: "So, this world is all constructed by Zhou Qi's inner world? ”

"It's entirely possible," Xiao Yao nodded: "This Zhou Qi loves to bully people, but I didn't expect that she was also the one who was bullied." ”

Shen Jie shook her head: "I've seen enough, let's go." ”

The third room is still a classroom, but this time it is a classroom from St. Francis' secondary school.

Xiao Yao saw Zhou Qi at a glance, as well as Wang Ming with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and a few girls, and these people surrounded her again.

"Is she being bullied here too?" Xiao Yao muttered to himself.

"Stay away from that Xiao Yao, unless you want to be isolated together." That Wang Ming spoke.

"Wang Ming......" Xiao Yao clenched his fists.

"I know," Zhou Qi whispered, "Actually, I don't know that Xiao Yao at all, he has been ...... Haunt me. ”

Xiao Yao laughed sadly.

Shen Jie reached out and pinched Xiao Yao's hand, and squeezed it twice more to show comfort: "Don't look at it, let's go." ”

Xiao Yao shook his head, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The next room is the teacher's office, and Zhou Qi is sitting next to Teacher Yao's workstation.

"Teacher Yao......"

"He's your homeroom teacher?" Shen Jie asked.

"Teacher Yao......" Zhou Qi spoke: "I'm serious about you, please associate with me......"

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie were both shocked and looked at each other.

"No, you can't ......" Teacher Yao's phantom breathed shortly, stood up, and waved his hand repeatedly.

"I won't tell others about ......" Zhou Qi chased after him, stood up, and took a step closer to Teacher Yao: "Here, you are the only one who has always cared about me sincerely." ”

"That's where my duty lies, you, you, you're a student, I'm a teacher, isn't that ......" Teacher Yao pushed Zhou Qi's head away leaning on his chest: "And I'm already married......"

Xiao Yao was shocked, as if he had been robbed of his virginity by the director. He and Shen Jie didn't say anything, and silently walked into the fifth room.

"Actually, is it a church......" Shen Jie looked around curiously.

Xiao Yao recognized that this was the interior view of the Sacred Heart Church opposite the school.

"Father, I have sinned, please listen to my confession......" Teacher Yao's voice floated over the church.

"You are not a member of the church and cannot go to confession, but I can listen to your troubles." Father Yu's voice came from the confessional booth on the side of the chapel, and he held his head and leaned on the side where Teacher Yao was kneeling: "Actually, we can sit face to face and talk about ......."

Xiao Yao finally understood what happened to the person who was suspected of being Teacher Yao in the church before.

Seeing that Shen Jie could listen attentively, Xiao Yao pushed her: "Let's hurry up to the next room, Yu Luying told me that it's not okay to eavesdrop on the content of the confession." ”

"Yu Luying Yu Luying," Shen Jie pouted, "Didn't Father Yu say it, this is not a confession." And it's they themselves who want to say it loudly in this voice-over volume. ”

Despite saying this, Shen Jie still blocked her ears. Xiao Yao also covered his ears, and the two of them looked for the next exit together.

It's just that Mr. Yao's voice seems to appear directly in the minds of the two of them.

"My wife, Kang Qianshui," said Ms. Yao, "is an indescribably old-fashioned person. ”

"Uh-huh." Father Yu said.

"After being married for so many years, in the eyes of others, we are an enviable model couple, and it is my luck that I can marry her. But she is very uncooperative in this aspect of married life. ”

"Uh-huh." Father Yu said.

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie stopped and looked at each other silently.

"She refuses to try anything new except for the most basic position." Teacher Yao said with difficulty: "She won't even turn on the lights, let alone uniforms." ”

"Hmm......" Father Yu's expression seemed to be a little painful.

Seeing Xiao Yao's expression holding back a wicked smile, Shen Jie hit him hard.

β€œOUCH!”
