Isn't it water when the snow melts?

No matter how you drink this bowl of water, it is tasteless, and people don't need to add any condiments to drink water, and you can't find anything wrong with this dish.

Xie Yinxue raised her eyes, and a pair of willow eyes stared at Ah Jiu's pale vertical pupils, as if she wanted to engrave these eyes in the depths of her memory. He stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked the water that the man fed to his lips, and said coldly, "I'm very satisfied." ”

As if he couldn't see his indifference, Ah Jiu leaned over and leaned closer to Xie Yinxue. Then he raised his right hand and touched Xie Yinxue's lips with his index and middle fingers - these lips are always pale in color, as if all kinds of vermilion have been covered by sickness, but the blood coughed up when he was seriously ill is on his lips, but it is as bright as a layer of rouge.

Ah Jiu's fingertips pressed back and forth on the young man's soft lips, and only after his fingertips were stained with these blood stains did he remove his right hand and swipe the blood on his mask, outlining a smile painted with Xie Yinxue's blood.

He said: "I am most happy to be able to satisfy Mr. Xie. ”

Everyone dared too dare to see what Xie Yinxue's expression was now.

In the death-like silence, Lu Shuo, who talked the most, couldn't bear it at first, and said quietly: "Is this what it feels like to have a heartache?" ”

Ah Jiu raised his eyes to him, his eyes were piercing cold, and he said violently: "I hate snow the most." ”

"And this dish is made of snow, don't you think I don't feel heartache?"

Facing Ah Jiu's questioning, Lu Shuo was silent.

But the man was not interested in Lu Shuo, he quickly turned his head and looked at Xie Yinxue condescendingly, although his voice was much softer, it was not soft, it only made people think that he was provoking: "The most important thing is that Mr. Xie must be very heartbroken now." ”

"So this dish made of snow is impeccable and peerless for you and for me."

As he spoke, he gently lifted Xie Yinxue's face with his bloodstained fingers, rubbed it against the snow-smooth skin, and bowed his head towards the young man, as if he was saluting, and as if he was bewitched by something, he involuntarily chased in the direction where it was.

"You're so good at it—"

Xie Yinxue didn't laugh angrily, and when she heard this, she also raised her hand, and seemed to pinch Ah Jiu's mask gently, pulling his head down, pulling it until it almost touched her own face before stopping, raising her head slightly, staring at those vertical pupils, and saying in a gentle voice like a lover's whisper: "Then I hope Ah Jiu you will have a chance in the future to wash your hands and make soup for me." ”

When Xie Yinxue let go of the five fingers, the indestructible mask that the chefs wore on their faces like cold iron poured indestructible, the surface was full of traces of aggression after being ravaged by the five fingers, just like the pear blossom bracelet left in the cuff, so that the smile that Ah Jiu drew with blood on the mask was no longer a smile.

"I hope so, too."

However, Ah Jiu no longer needed this smile to express his emotions, he chuckled in Xie Yinxue's ear, straightened up and picked up the tray with Xie Yinxue's pear bracelet and left.

Xie Yinxue also turned around and sat down, wiping his fingertips without stains with a tissue, his hands were white and slender, as fragile as jade branches condensed by frost, as if they could be broken with a slight break—but it was not his phalanges that were broken, but the necks of others.

Everyone present was silent and silent.

Xie Yinxue's slightly drooping eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, draining all the emotions in his eyes, and everyone could only hear him whisper: "Butler, let's take the next dish." ”

The author has something to say:

Xie Lao (vomiting blood.jpg): Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself.

NPC: It's hurt in you, it's in my heart.

Xie Lao: ?

Chapter 24

Only the last three dishes of tonight's feast have been served.

And the last three dishes were ordered by Chen Yun and her dormitory.

There is already a meat dish tonight, so everyone thinks that the next three dishes will either have only one meat dish like last night, or just like the day Xia Duoyi and Chu Li had an accident, there will be a meat dish that will not be served.

"The tenth dish is "Bright Crystal" ordered by Miss Wei, which is made by Chef Eleven, please taste it."

The old housekeeper, who still had blood stains on his face, didn't know what everyone was thinking, and continued to read out the names of the dishes in an emotionless voice, while Wei Qiuyu, who was full of fear and fear, closed his eyes, put his hands together on his chest and prayed: "Don't be a meat dish, don't be a meat dish......"

Perhaps her prayers were sincere enough to be heard by the gods, and when the red cover of the dish was lifted, a plate of crystal dumplings made of potatoes and cornstarch wrapped in cabbage and tofu filling appeared in front of everyone.

"It's really a vegetarian dish!"

Wei Qiuyu covered his mouth, his eyes were red, and he almost wanted to cry with joy. She held Chen Yun's arm and thanked desperately: "Hahaha "Bright Jingjing" is really a plate of vegetarian dishes! Chen Yun: Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to click ......."

Wei Qiuyu, who ordered the vegetarian dish, was naturally happy, and thanked Chen Yun incoherently.

Chen Yun listened to her words, tugged at the corners of his lips, and barely smiled.

Yan Zhi next to her couldn't laugh too much, because it was still unknown whether her dish was meat or vegetarian, although it should be safe for her to snatch Chen Yun's dish name, but for some reason, she always had an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

And this uneasiness was finally condensed into an exposed substance when the disc of "Fortune at the Head" was brought out of the backyard.

Because they smelled an extremely strong aroma of meat—stronger and thicker than the meat dishes that Chu Li and Xia Duoyi had ordered before.

"Impossible......"

As the dish approached, Chen Yun slowly closed her eyes, but Yan Zhi was stunned as if she had no soul, and the pupils in her eye sockets shrank to a very thin one, and she collapsed and trembled with her body.

Her voice also gradually became sharp and harsh: "Impossible! ”

"Why! Why is this a meat dish?! And pulled Chen Yun's collar and asked loudly, "Chen Yun, didn't you let me choose this dish?" Why is it a meat dish! ”

"Don't worry, let's see if there's anything wrong with this dish first......"

Chen Yun's temper is really good, she was pushed back and forth by Yan Zhi like this, and she didn't refute and get angry, she just hoped that Yan Zhi could calm down, after all, she had discussed with Lu Shuo and Xiao Siyu during the day, even if the meat dishes were ordered at night, everyone would find a way to brainstorm together, and it might not be impossible to withdraw the dishes and survive.

"You hurt me, you want to hurt me!"

It's a pity that Yan Zhi didn't listen to the persuasion at all, her eyes were cracked, her face was full of tears, she looked hideous but a little pitiful, and she blamed all the fault on Chen Yun.

"Don't fight!" Gao Qiao, who was sitting next to her, pulled her wrist and persuaded her, telling the truth, "And Chen Yun didn't let you choose this dish, this is the dish she wants to choose, you grabbed it!" ”

Yes, of course Yan Zhi knew that she grabbed the name of the dish.

But the more this happened, the more unacceptable she became, because she couldn't figure out why Chen Yun would choose such a dangerous dish name for herself.

Seeing that the meat dish was about to be served on the table, Yan Zhi didn't have time to argue with Chen Yun about the name of the dish anymore, but got up directly and threw herself in Xie Yinxue's direction, crying and asking him for help: "Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie!" Help me—"

She didn't have a very good attitude towards Xie Yinxue before, so now that Yan Zhi uses an honorific title, she is afraid that Xie Yinxue will reject her.

But what Yan Zhi didn't know was that Xie Yinxue had been waiting for her for a long time, and Xie Yinxue would never refuse the business sent to the door, as long as he could live, he would do anything.

So Xie Yinxue readily agreed: "Okay." ”

"However, you have to pay a small price."

Xie Yinxue is the ferryman NPC in the eyes of everyone, his reply, the old housekeeper said on the first day that everyone just entered the game, and Xie Yinxue also mentioned it before Qiu Yuxing's death yesterday, so everyone was not surprised.

They were just curious - what was the price Xie Yinxue was asking for?

Yan Zhi bit her lower lip and asked him in a low voice, "What price?" ”

Xie Yinxue replied: "Time and pain. ”

Time, in fact, is another word for lifespan.

But the former doesn't sound as oppressive as the latter, don't ask Xie Yinxue why he knows that he doesn't want to go through the pain of business failure a second time.

"After successfully getting out of this game copy, you will have a month's rest, and I, I only need you half a month, this is the reward I want. Trade once and I'll protect you until the end of the quest. ”

Xie Yinxue slightly hooked the corners of her lips and smiled lightly, and tried to make herself look gentle, because it would be easier to persuade the guests to relax and accept the "price" he offered.

"Half a month?" Yan Zhi really hesitated, and had the heart to retreat, "I will only have a month after I clear the customs, will I give you half a month directly?" ”

"Don't worry, you won't lose a second in half a month, but you need to bear half of my usual illness, and there is a high probability that you will be sick in bed for half a month." Xie Yinxue was still smiling, her voice was still soft and gentle, but there was a strange indifference, "Or-"

"You're going to die now."

Once you enter the "Lock Immortality", before you completely leave the game, everyone will only have a one-month break from this dungeon to the next dungeon, regardless of the length of their lifespan, and there is no point in sharing life here.

Xie Yinxue entered this game, not only to prolong his life, what he asked for was immortality.

But why didn't he do anything that made his life more comfortable?

Yan Zhi's body trembled when she heard this, and she said in a panic: "I ......"

"Yan Zhi, don't make a deal with him yet." After all, Chen Yun still felt that the price to pay for trading with the ferryman NPC was only that simple, and when it came to meat dishes, it was not a certain way to die, wouldn't Liu be unscathed if he didn't spend it? She patiently persuaded Yan Zhi and said, "Let's take a look at what that dish is and taste it first, if we really can't find the problem alone, can we ask Xie Yinxue for help?" ”

Yan Zhi looked at her in a daze when she heard this, her eyes were full of fear, and tears fell down her eyelashes in the blink of an eyelash, and anyone who saw it would feel pity, and the same was true for Chen Yun.

She couldn't help but recall that Yan Zhi was the least courageous one in the dormitory, even if there was a lone guard in the dormitory, Yan Zhi would turn on the small table lamp when she got up at night, and every time she went out to fetch water, she would call Chu Li, or she and Wei Qiuyu would go together...... If it weren't for this inexplicable game, they would have been the most ordinary college students, and they would also be roommates who love and help each other......

Chen Yun saw that Yan Zhi was stunned and didn't speak, thinking that she had listened to her own advice, so he wiped her tears for her and was about to help people sit upright, waiting for the little maid to bring the plate of "Fortune to the Head" to the table and take a closer look to see if they had reached the point where they had to ask Xie Yinxue for help.

As a result, Yan Zhi grabbed Chen Yun's wrist to wipe her tears, and said as if holding a life-saving driftwood: "Chen, Chen Yun, you helped me choose the wrong name of the dish, otherwise you can make up a few days for me...... It doesn't take much, just a week! ”

Hearing this, Chen Yun was stunned.

“…… Did I choose the wrong name for you? Chen Yun felt that Yan Zhi's words were inexplicably sarcastic, she looked at the girl in front of her, and also felt that Yan Zhi, who she was familiar with, was now unfamiliar and terrible, "The name of the dish I chose for you is not this." ”

Yan Zhi's lips pursed, but she couldn't speak, she only looked at Chen Yun with eager eyes.

Chen Yun blinked, her eyes turned red, she took a deep breath, and said in a dumb voice: "Okay, I'll make up time for you, a week is too little, I'll directly help you make up half a month." ”

"After I go out, I'll take a break from school and go home, and then we'll each have our own game copies, and nothing to do with it."

At the same time that the tail note disappeared into the air, the plate of "Fortune at the Head" was also put on the table by the little guys, and only the red cover cloth was not lifted.

Chen Yun didn't look at the dish either, he didn't even bother to give a look, as if he didn't want to bother Yan Zhi anymore, he looked directly at Xie Yinxue and said, "Mr. Xie, I want to make a deal with you......"

"Don't make a deal with the ferryman NPC!"

But before Chen Yun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Duoyi.

Everyone looked at her in amazement, including Xie Yinxue - he didn't know what Xia Duoyi was stirring up here, and it was not her who was obviously going to suffer from half a month's illness.

Since Xia Duo entered the Qinfu Courtyard from the first day, she gave the impression that she was beautiful but had a poisonous tongue and a strange temper, although she was also an old game participant, she was not as close as Wei Dao Ji Tao and they showed at the beginning, no one loved to talk to her except Dai Yue, Gao Qiao was pure enthusiasm and kindness, and she would go to help when she saw that she had a broken leg, and none of the girls in Chen Yun's dormitory had communicated with her.

And Chen Yun and Yan Zhi were arguing here, their other roommate Wei Qiuyu hadn't said anything yet, but Xia Duoyi opened her mouth in front of her, and when everyone looked at her, she pursed the corners of her lips, frowned, as if she had finally made up her mind, looked at Chen Yun's eyes and emphasized again: "Don't make a deal with the ferryman NPC." ”

This sentence was repeated twice by Xia Duoyi.

Seeing this, Xie Yinxue smiled slightly, and always felt that Xia Duoyi was going to spoil him.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xia Duo looked serious and said solemnly: "Because the price you have to pay is far more than that." ”

"Do you know why they are so generous to tell you all the news about the ferryman's NPC?" Xia Duo raised his hand and pointed at Wei Dao and Ji Tao, and asked everyone, "Obviously, as long as you find out the ferryman's NPC, it is equivalent to getting the key to direct customs clearance, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can easily clear the customs by asking the ferryman for help, isn't it?" Then why would Qiu Yuxing rather risk his life than ask Xie Yinxue for help? ”

"Xia Duoyi, are you sick?" Wei Dao and Ji Tao couldn't sit still when they saw that Xia Duo was about to tell their true purpose, so that they no longer had the possibility of relying on the clues obtained by trading with the ferryman NPCs, so they couldn't sit still, and got up to stop her, "Are you crazy?!" You're a long-time participant, too! ”

If it weren't for the fact that the game prohibits game participants from directly attacking each other because of the non-copy requirements, Wei Dao and Ji Tao would probably have pulled out their guns to make Xia Duoyi shut up completely, so Xia Duoyi is not afraid of them at all, and she can even be sure that before she completely tells the truth, all newcomers will protect her.

She didn't look at Ji Tao and Wei Dao, she didn't even look at it, and sneered: "But I'm not like you, I only know how to use violence and deception, and I don't know how to use my brain." ”

"In Greek mythology, Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx, will take you across the River Styx after receiving the money, but where is the end of the River Styx?" Xia Duo couldn't stand anymore without her legs, but her back was straight, and every word was deafening, "It's Difu!" ”

"Once you make a deal with the ferryman in exchange for a clue to clear the level, 'Lock Immortal' will completely target you, and it will continue to increase the difficulty of your next dungeon until you die miserably."
