Qi Xia made his way through the dark tunnels for a while, and found that it was a staircase going down, but the structure was very simple.

The smell is strange, and the staircase is so neatly cut that it seems that no one has walked in since it was built.

"What a pity...... Qi Xia touched the wall on the side, his face was slightly regretful, "You have cleverly integrated the principles of the five elements into your game, but no one can understand it at all, and even you yourself have to wear a collar to play." ”

After a left turn, the stairs had already begun to climb upward, Qi Xia felt the wall to confirm the direction, and it didn't take long to see the button with a faint green light on the wall in the distance.

He decisively reached out and pressed the button, and the wall in front of him slowly trembled for a moment, and then slowly rose.

In front of him was Qiu Sixteen.

"...... rat house?" The corners of Qi Xia's mouth raised, "That really reduces the difficulty of the game." ”

Qiu Sixteen looked back in shock as he looked at Qi Xia coming out of the wall with four fruits, and he didn't know what to say.

"You...... You're from ......"

Qi Xia didn't say anything, just put all four fruits on the table, and then opened the door again and walked out.

The time is very tight now, although Qi Xia has found a way to win, but each night is only ten minutes.

"Gotta hurry up......"

……

The gopher sat in the "cat house" for a while, then reached for a faded photo in his suit pocket.

In that photo, there was a group photo of a man and a woman, the girl pouted and made a cross-eyed expression, looking particularly lively, while the boy stared at her with a wry smile, his eyes full of pampering.

The gopher stroked the picture lightly, then carefully placed it on the ground away from itself, as if fearing that the explosion of the collar would ruin the picture.

It's not a big deal to blow your head off, but you can't lose this picture.

"I'm sorry, I've found a lot of solutions, but none of them are alive." The gopher said in a low voice, choking up in a few seconds, "I've thought of all the ways I can think of...... But I really can't get out...... I don't even have a glimmer of hope......"

The gopher looked at the cute girl in the photo with his monster-like eyes for the last time, and he reached out and touched the girl's face in the photo, and then touched his short-haired rat head, and couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Yes, there has been no going back for a long time.

Why did you naively think that turning into a big mouse with brown hair was a closer way back?

The original self is forever ten days away from escaping here, but now he is not even human.

The most ridiculous idea of human beings is to never give up, to always have hope.

"Click".

The door to the "cat house" opened, and the gopher slowly stood up, straightened the hair on his head, and walked back into the hallway with a desperate smile.

The five doors in front of me were all locked.

One by one, the gophers opened the door from the outside, and there was neither a "rat" nor any fruit inside.

All that lay in front of me were five empty rooms.

The leader of the team understood the game too quickly, a total of six rounds of the game, he used one round to verify his guess, in the second round to completely figure out the rules, and now this third round has moved all the fruits back to the "mouse house", and in the next few days the "cat" will not find any fruit and will not be able to catch a single mouse.

"Cats" will starve to death.

"Why the hell...... gopher slowly smiled wryly, "everyone doesn't want me to live...... I've been desperately trying to live, am I too willful? ”

He walked forward with heavy steps, mechanically opening each door and shutting it again.

"This damn game should have ended...... gopher whispered, "where you need to kill someone to get out...... No one should have been able to run away from ......"

The gopher straddled the hallway, only to feel the collar around his neck tighten again, this time leaving him feeling completely breathless.

Eventually, he stopped in front of the "rat house".

"Knock knock".

After a while, a voice came from inside the door.

"Say."

After hearing this, the gopher slowly raised his head and said, "It's over, I'm leaving." ”

"Oh?" Qi Xia said softly, "Don't you play anymore?" ”

"There's no need." The gopher shook his head, "This is my best ending." ”

"And what do you have to say?" Qi Xia asked again.

"It's not a good thing to say, but I have something I want to ask you to ......," the gopher said.

Qi Xia looked at the four neat teammates behind him inside the door, and then said to the gopher: "Obviously asking someone to do something, but now you don't even call the "leader"?" ”

"There's no need for it." "I'm going to be killed by the collar after this round, and I have a picture in my cat house, and I'm afraid I'll blow it up, so I stayed there...... Could you please help me put that picture back in my pocket when I die...... ”

Hearing that Qi Xia did not respond, the gopher said, "I just want to die with it, so that even if someone sees my bones...... At least know who I am. ”

"I refuse." Qi Xia said, "That's your own business, there's no need to trouble us." ”

After hearing this, the gopher sighed slightly: "You seem to be a person who is very good at fraud, but at this moment, you don't even bother to deceive me?" ”

"There's no need for me to lie to you by saying nice things here." Qi Xia replied, "I don't know you, and I don't know how important that photo is, it's possible that I'll tear it up when you're dead, after all, out of sight and out of mind." ”

"You ......," the gopher smiled bitterly again, "is it necessary?" If we don't know each other, why do you have to kill me all...... ”

Qi Xia finally made his expression more serious at this time, and said through the door panel: "To tell the truth, if you continue to play this game, you will die sooner or later, and you will never become a 'sky'." ”

"Yes......" the gopher turned expressionlessly and leaned against the door, "Is there a way out if I join you?" ”

"You know what?" Qi Xia asked, "When you find that all roads are dead ends, you must choose to break the wall at the first time." ”

"I don't think that's the case." The gopher replied, "Even if I don't break the wall, there will always be someone who will break the wall, and the best way for me is to follow the person who breaks the wall, which saves effort and worry, and can ensure my own safety." ”

"But you're in extreme danger." Qi Xia sneered, "I'll put a gun on your head, aren't you ready to break the wall?" ”
