Top Horror Novelist

Gu Xichao was waiting to die.

But what he waited for was Chi Yiyin's forgiveness.

"You call yourself a devil, saying that you are no different from those desperadoes, but Gu Xichao, haven't you saved lives too?"

Chi Yiyin's palm was slightly cold, and when it landed on the top of Gu Xichao's hair, there was no heavy pressure, only a final sigh.

For himself, he doesn't have much manifested emotion. But when he pondered those ghosts and monsters in order to write inhuman things, he let himself empathize with them in order to allow himself to better penetrate into the depths of those ghosts, completely released his emotions, and let the suppressed in the elegant illusion The madness beneath broke free.

From Chi Yiyin's writing, he was Gu Xichao.

Innumerable clues built a complete world in his mind. The wind and snow that day fell before his eyes. With the eyes of little Gu Xichao, he saw all the blood and fire that night, and followed Gu Xichao's footsteps, struggling Between life and death of serious illness.

What Gu Xichao once thought was what he thought.

What Gu Xichao used to do was what he did.

Chi Yiyin followed the road that Gu Xichao had walked, all the way back to the snow mountain, and arrived at the end and the beginning of all hatred.

In the end, with a full understanding of Gu Xichao, he was successfully written into the book for his own use.

Because of this, Chi Yiyin has a deep feeling for Gu Xichao's experience, and can even infer things that have not yet appeared outside the plot based on Gu Xichao's character and pain.

For example, Gu Xichao trapped these assailants in the snow mountain not only for his own hatred.

He also didn't want these desperadoes to leave here, go outside the town, and let another family suffer the same tragedy as him.

When Gu Xichao was a child, he sought help from the inspector of the police station but to no avail. Everyone thought he was just a child who was about to die, so he showed his dark and selfish side in front of him without any worries, which shattered Gu Xichao. Trust in the Police Department and all authorities.

It was as if he was walking through the snow field alone.

The only person he can rely on has always been himself.

Including his desire to protect children and families like him when he became an adult.

He can only come by himself.

Chi Yiyin asked Gu Xichao, if everyone in the world is guilty, will everyone die?

Gu Xichao gave an affirmative answer, but in reality, he didn't do that.

He was just like a drowning man who picked up the only piece of wood and wanted to do his best to eliminate the evil. Even if it was just this small town, he also wanted to see the Wugou he was looking forward to.

Gu Xichao succeeded.

But Chi Yiyin believed that he would still fail.

"As long as people have desires, as long as they have unreachable distances, and they are not alone, they must be more or less contaminated with sin. That would be something you don't want to see, Gu Xichao. However, the law does not blame the public, and even Get used to it, no one will care about those crimes."

except you.

Chi Yiyin sighed inwardly.

It is precisely because of such things he experienced when he was a child that Gu Xichao's character is like a sharpened knife, becoming pure and even paranoid.

This kind of personality has made Gu Xichao, and at the age of twenty-six, he has enough strength and wisdom to defeat eleven murderers with his unhealthy body, and even let the people in the small town All families with blood on their hands pay the price.

What he has is determination and wisdom far beyond those of his peers.

Chi Yiyin can even predict that if Gu Xichao obeys the trend like ordinary people and does not hesitate to commit crimes, he will definitely be successful in the worldly sense.

But such a character completely ruined all possible futures of Gu Xichao.

After that snowy night, there was only one path left for his fate.

— guide him to death.

"That door is narrow... But Gu Xichao, you have already passed through." ①

Chi Yiyin stretched out her hand, gently raised Gu Xichao's chin, and made him look at her, seeing the sincerity in her eyes: "Your strength alone is too small after all, even if you prevent a tragedy, you can There are too many wicked people in the world, and they can't be killed, and they can't be found."

"Could it be that the purity you want is the emptiness and silence after everyone dies?"

"Gu Xichao, the goal you want to achieve, if you follow your own method, you will only end up in a failure. Temporary success, and permanent defeat."

Gu Xichao looked at Chi Yiyin, his eyes gradually lost their light under Gu Xichao's narration.

He moved his lips, but the tears flowed down first.

He is a smart person, and he only needs Chi Yiyin to show him the foundation of his theory, which is enough for him to build the whole building.

Under Chi Yiyin's theory and discussion, Gu Xichao saw the future that Chi Yiyin wanted to show him.

It's still... evil everywhere.

It was completely contrary to the future that Gu Xichao wanted, as if no matter how hard he struggled to break through, he would eventually sink slowly in a swamp.

There are no roads on all sides, the ideals of the idealists are smashed and trampled into the mud, and the things that the persistent people are obsessed with finally fall into nothingness.

Gu Xichao's heart gradually died down.

He didn't know whether it was the pain caused by his broken lung and blood loss, or the spiritual despair caused by the defeat that made him feel that he was going to die, he just wanted to laugh.

Laugh at your naivety.

What he didn't do seventeen years ago, he didn't expect that after seventeen years of persistence and hard work, he still failed.

Stupid and pathetic.

"Kill me."

"I lost, here is yours."

Gu Xichao's voice was hoarse and deep, and the last ray of brilliance in his soul was about to be annihilated, like a candle in the wind. He lowered his head weakly, but fell into Chi Yiyin's palm.

Warmth and vitality, the thin calluses on the fingers bring a subtle itchy feeling, like what life should look like.

Chi Yiyin kept staring at Gu Xichao, until now, the smile on his lips finally showed some sincerity, broke through the mask-like expression, and became vivid.

"Dante heard Beatrice's name in hell, rescued him from the journey of sinners, and guided him to heaven. But now, Gu Xichao, I've caught you."

Chi Yiyin's deliberately soft voice was full of delusion, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I can do what you can't do."

"Gu Xichao, have I fully introduced my profession to you?"

He chuckled: "I am a novelist, I am insignificant to the world, but because of this, there are things that only I can do."

"for example…"

When your experience becomes a warning board for everyone.

"People will forget the momentary joy, but they will have a deep memory of misery. Their instincts are making them avoid all possible deaths, and they will also subconsciously reject the wrong path and choose a safer future."

"They just, don't know what's wrong. Raised in the light, they don't know what the dark looks like—even if they have longed for the dark, and even claimed to have touched the dark, or the dark itself, so that Come to flaunt yourself, be complacent, and think that is strength."

"But they don't know that the darkness is deeper, and the real darkness is where there is no shadow."

Chi Yiyin asked Gu Xichao: "You once fell into the **** of pain, but you also entered the deepest darkness because of it. Gu Xichao, if you want—you are willing, tell me the darkness you have seen, and write it in my pen." Send books around the world so everyone can see what darkness really is?"

"When people see the darkness, they will know how to avoid it, how to avoid it, and how to improve it."

Chi Yiyin believed that he definitely did not overestimate Gu Xichao.

Those desperadoes reached an agreement with the town's high-level officials and acted incognito and in a low-key manner, but even so, Gu Xichao found out all of them.

He knew what those people cared about, what they should use to seduce them, and how to ensure that they would all be there.

This is by no means something that can be figured out by sitting in a house and patting your head.

Gu Xichao must have explored the darkness behind those outlaws.

And that was exactly what Chi Yiyin wanted.

When Gu Xichao heard Chi Yiyin's words, he who was already lifeless finally reacted, and looked up at him with doubts in his eyes.

Chi Yiyin smiled lightly: "Gu Xichao, I'm a horror novelist. Many people don't like my book. They hate its darkness and heavyness. It's not bright and light enough. It's not as sweet and soft as honey milk. However, I know very well what I'm doing. what."

"My book has never been written for happiness, and the icing on the cake is definitely not my wish."

He put the yellowed work diary into Gu Xichao's hand, and let the other party hold the notebook slowly, feeling the goodwill left in the notebook

Chi Yiyin stared at Gu Xichao, and said word by word: "My book is written for you."

Do you believe in the power of words?

Do you believe that if you expose the darkness, the world will be brighter?

In a daze, Gu Xichao heard Chi Yiyin say this.

Are you willing to put yourself in hell, covered with blood, but not to warn the world of all the deaths you know?

Words are powerful, Gu Xichao.

If one can be awakened, there will be more power, and if there is more light, the world will be brighter by an inch.

Look at me, Gu Xichao.

How do you know that the world is so big that there won't be a second or third Gu Xichao? How dare you be sure that there won't be a second or third Chi Yiyin in the world?

Try to believe in the power of life itself—only, we have to do everything we can to prepare for them.

Gu Xichao felt that the excessive blood loss made his eyes blurred, double images and darkness appeared, and even breathing began to be difficult.

Even though the sky and the earth are so big, they are even stingy with giving him a little air. Perhaps, he was already dying.

However, in the midst of all despair, there is a new light of hope that rekindles his vision.

Gu Xichao's eyelashes trembled, he stretched out his **** hand, grabbed Chi Yiyin's collar, pulled him towards him with all his strength, and handed over the last bit of warmth and hope he had left. go out.

do it.

he heard himself say.

Do not lie to me.

Chi Yiyin smiled, and approached Gu Xichao without any resistance: "How could that be?"

"This is obviously my hope. And then... the last thing I will do for you."

He casually picked up the sharp weapon scattered beside him, stuffed it into Gu Xichao's hand, and then held Gu Xichao's hand, letting the other side watch as the weapon rushed towards his own chest.

One inch, one inch, into the heart.

Blood gushed out, and Gu Xichao slowly opened his eyes wide, looking at Chi Yiyin in disbelief.

Li Sijun's pupils also constricted instantly, and he rushed towards Chi Yiyin.

But Chi Yiyin didn't seem to feel the pain, he just smiled and lowered his head, looking at Gu Xichao who had lost his strength and fell into his arms.

"I'm playing Lute, the one you hate the most, Gu Xichao. If I don't die, how will your revenge be considered over?"

The blood spilling from his lips dyed Chi Yiyin's lips bright red, adding a touch of color to that fair face, and against the azure blue eyes, they were dangerous and beautiful, thrilling.

"But now, your obsession can be let go."

Chi Yiyin said softly: "Your enemies have all died, and you have done everything you can. Leave the rest to me, Gu Xichao. With me here, you can sleep peacefully and don't have to worry about nightmares anymore Invasion."

His voice is full of bewitching, hypnotic power.

Gu Xichao only felt that he was suddenly extremely tired, as if he had never closed his eyes in the past seventeen years, and the nightmare he had been having all this time was fading away, leaving only a few silhouettes waving goodbye to him in the dazzling light in the distance .

The parents held their elder brother and younger sister, stood in the light and waved goodbye to him, thanking him for everything he had done for them and thanking him for being their family.

They said, I have never hated you, our death is not your fault, Xi Chao... the sun of hope will always rise. Go to sleep, and when you wake up, it's another sunny day.

In a trance, Gu Xichao heard a familiar song coming from his ear, it was the lullaby his mother sang to him while patting his back and shaking him gently.

He seemed to have returned to his mother's arms, and finally, he was able to close his eyes with peace of mind.

With a smile on his face.

…

The system was stunned looking at everything in front of it. It stared at Chi Yiyin for a long time and couldn't recover. When it saw that the other party was still smiling even though it was covered in blood, it even felt humanized fear.

Chi Yiyin said that Gu Xichao was ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself, so why not himself?

In order to completely persuade Gu Xichao, he even risked his life.

The watching system can clearly see that its algorithm is running non-stop, listing all possible actions of Gu Xichao, and with Gu Xichao's behavior style, he would not be able to agree to any request from anyone, this is him as a copy Boss' confidence and confidence.

The system never fails.

[Snow Mountain Horror] is a C-level dungeon, and Gu Xichao is also a C-level dungeon boss, which is enough to make several A-level players die here. He is definitely not a soft-spoken character.

Even if everything is destroyed, he will not succumb to any player—Gu Xichao hates all players who are guilty.

Ke Chi Yiyin...

He smashed Gu Xichao into pieces abruptly, smashed all the restrictions that Gu Xichao had put into a prison, and forced Gu Xichao to collapse step by step, so that the other party could clearly see that what he had believed all along was false.

Then, on the ruins named Gu Xichao, Chi Yiyin rebuilt Gu Xichao, crowning him with hope.

Even the system, after accurately analyzing all the games between Chi Yiyin and Gu Xichao, can't help being afraid of Chi Yiyin's methods and sobriety.

It suddenly saw on the black and white chess board, the long sword slashed down, the king's head rolled down on the chessboard, and the other side ushered in a complete victory.

And Chi Yiyin is holding a long sword, wearing a red gold sable fur cape and a crown, standing proudly invincible.

This is.

This is... God.

The system felt that what it saw was not Chi Yiyin, but Li Sijun.

Its code is in disarray, with countless bug reports popping up, frantically blinking red.

But in Chi Yiyin's ear, the system still broadcasts with a mechanical voice.

[Congratulations to the survivor Chi Yiyin! You have successfully completed the plot "Children Burning Heart", the current plot completion rate is 100/100, the plot is over, after the countdown, you will return to the instance, and the points are being calculated...]

Gu Xichao turned into countless snowflakes in his arms and quietly disappeared.

Being successfully written into the book by Chi Yiyin, and the triggered plot has ended, Gu Xichao can already leave the plot and even the dungeon.

From the moment Gu Xichao identified with Chi Yiyin, he no longer belonged to the game field or the dungeon, but the soul that walked with Chi Yiyin.

They will have a common ambition waiting to be completed.

—Let the sun shine in and the darkness recede.

Chi Yiyin was laughing, but when he turned his eyes to look sideways, he saw Li Sijun pounced on him, his long arms wrapped him in his arms, and he hit his strong chest.

On Li Sijun's always smiling and calm face, unexpected panic appeared, as if he was worried that he would die here.

Chi Yiyin raised his eyebrows, rarely surprised: "I thought you would rather see me die? Doesn't this just match your thoughts?"

Before Li Sijun could answer Chi Yiyin, his slender fingers had already stretched out to his chest.

I don't know if it was Chi Yiyin's illusion, but he actually felt that when he looked up at Li Sijun, there was a faint golden light on Li Sijun's body.

Sunlight? Or a hallucination of excessive blood loss?

Chi Yiyin frowned, then raised his hand and pushed Li Sijun away so that he wouldn't have to worry about it.

"This knife is the end of everything..."

He sighed softly, and slowly closed his eyes in the cold where the blood was draining rapidly.

Chi Yiyin's body fell into Li Sijun's arms, and everything in the plot world gradually collapsed as all the parties left.

Among the red and white intertwined colors of blood and frost, only Chi Yiyin in her arms is so real.

Li Sijun looked down at the person in his arms, and was stunned for a while before finally realizing that he just...

Caring is messed up.

This is clearly Chi Yiyin's way to break the situation. He killed a **** path from all sides, but it made Li Sijun confused. In an instant, he really thought that Chi Yiyin was dead, so that his body ran over before his consciousness. He wanted to hug Chi Yiyin into his arms.

It's no longer about watching the actors on stage admiring and admiring.

It's about the soul named Chi Yiyin, who really attracts and pays attention.

Li Sijun once endured a boring world, but when Chi Yiyin appeared, all other performances were no longer attractive. He just wanted to keep watching Chi Yiyin and devote all his time to him.

poof.

poof...

In the silence, Li Sijun could clearly hear the beating of his own heart, which was firm and powerful.

He looked down at Chi Yiyin who was smiling quietly in his arms, and finally smiled slowly, then closed his golden brown eyes.

In an instant, like the sun falling, the world is destroyed.

All the plots and even the copy that lost its core began to collapse gradually, and everything returned to silence and darkness.

…

When Chi Yiyin opened his eyes again, he was sitting on the sofa next to the fireplace in the small wooden building, the firewood next to him was crackling, and there was a cup of warm tea on the low table at hand. Everything looked warm and beautiful, as if He just fell asleep by accident while listening to a story by the fireplace.

As he sat up straight, the blanket slid off his shoulders, and he noticed that he was already wearing his own clothes.

He is no longer the Lute he played, but Chi Yiyin.

"woke up?"

A calm greeting came from the side.

Chi Yiyin turned her head to look, and saw Gu Xichao not far from her, holding a book in her hand and reading.

When Gu Xichao raised his head, the book he was holding was unconsciously raised at an angle, allowing Chi Yiyin to see clearly that the book he had written to Ma Yuze before.

It seems that Ma Yuze had already greeted her new companion while he was asleep.

Chi Yiyin's brows and eyes were gentle, and he smiled lightly.

Gu Xichao slumped the book on his lap, pushed the wheelchair over, and said flatly: "If you don't wake up again, I will really think that that knife killed you."

"It seems that it has worried you a lot."

Chi Yiyin put the blankets on her body with a smile, and nodded slightly to Gu Xichao as a thank you: "It's good to see you again, Gu Xichao."

Gu Xichao was stunned for a moment, as if he had been alone for a long time, and he was no longer used to people caring about him. After a while, he looked away unnaturally, and continued to read the book in his hand.

"Although you are not a good person."

After a pause, he gave his evaluation indifferently: "But the book is not bad."

Chi Yiyin automatically translated Gu Xichao's praise in her heart, and nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

He took out the pocket watch in his suit pocket and found that it was past eight o'clock in the morning. He... slept all day?

But the system went online soon, broadcasting for Chi Yiyin: [Congratulations to the survivor Chi Yiyin! You have completed the mission "Children's Burning Heart" and cleared the dungeon perfectly. After four days and three hours, you can automatically leave at the end of the dungeon. 】

【and many more. 】

Chi Yiyin frowned, and asked: [Four days? How long did I sleep? 】

The system doesn't lie.

If Chi Yiyin doesn't ask, it will ignore it as if nothing happened, but when Chi Yiyin asks, it must answer for him.

[Because Gu Xichao, the core of the dungeon, has another form of entanglement with you, so after the end of this operation, the dungeon without the core will not be able to operate, and will enter a permanent shutdown period, so when you come back from the plot, the dungeon has undergone major adjustments. 】

[The time node of your awakening must be consistent with the time node of all surviving players, so you have been asleep for one day and seven hours. 】

Chi Yiyin understood.

Although the system said so, it must have been euphemistically modified and covered up. Therefore, if he wants to restore the truth, he is more inclined to do so because of the dungeon rules. After he completes the plot, the dungeon wants to destroy other players. The players remaining in the instance saved themselves.

Or kill.

The rules of the system say from the beginning, two ways of finishing.

One is the first to complete the task. One is that everyone else completes the task together.

Just like Chi Yiyin knows about danger and malice, the pits buried by the system are everywhere.

If he doesn't kill himself in the plot, he won't be able to complete the last 1% of the plot—the system is asking the player to make a life-and-death gamble.

If the player doesn't believe in the system, he will realize that the 1% progress is his own, but because he doesn't believe in the system, he will not kill himself to complete the last 1%, and he will not be able to completely escape from the plot.

And if the player believes in the system, although he will commit suicide to promote the plot, it is difficult to realize that the 1% is himself.

After all, the player is playing the role of the murderer that Chi Yiyin hates.

The balance that is difficult to find in the contradiction is seen through by Chi Yiyin, a lunatic who disregards life and death, breaks the deadlock, and completes the plot.

The two methods given by the system are also invisibly forcing players to kill each other.

For players who want to survive and earn points, they seldom have sympathy for other people. The first priority must be themselves, and they will not easily give trust to unfamiliar players.

Want them to work together to complete tasks together?

How naive do you have to be to think that it is a feasible way for these players in the dungeon?

Chi Yiyin excluded this method from the very beginning, but he never expected that the task was really completed in this way.

Under Chi Yiyin's skillful questioning, the system was defeated within a few rounds, and gradually revealed the current situation and the truth that Chi Yiyin missed.

Among the players who remained in the dungeon, Chen San and others had died, leaving only Wang Lele, and Jingcha and Chu Yueli who also came back after the plot was triggered.

After Chu Yueli and the two returned to the small wooden building, they realized that they hadn't encountered Chi Yiyin in the whole plot, so they immediately realized that the two methods might not work. The whole army may be wiped out.

Therefore, Chu Yueli and the two teamed up to throw all the players who hadn't completed the task until the moment they came back out of the small wooden building.

Jingcha wanted to let the black rabbit eat them, but was stopped by Chu Yueli, who coldly threw the car keys to them, and told them to go to the snowy field and the small town to find a way out, to fend for themselves.

Although those people are angry, they also know that in the game field, winners and losers, losing to stronger people and leaving them a way to survive is considered kind.

Even if the way to survive is very likely to be a dead end, just refreshing and restarting the snow field is enough to kill them, but it is better than dying now.

Wang Lele hugged the door frame at the last moment and wailed, his mind spinning wildly in order to survive, and he talked nonsense about everything Chi Yiyin had done, like a poor student who looked at the questions in the exam and didn't know the answer so he copied the questions.

—Whether it will or not, anyway, the answer area is full, so if you are not sure about that sentence, you will hit the point, right?

I didn't expect Wang Lele to complete the task without guessing.

The clues that Chi Yiyin found were all correct. After he sorted them out, they were extremely directional. Even if there were inevitably wrong guesses among them, they had been narrowed down to the smallest scope of investigation.

Sprinkle beans on it, and there is a probability that you will hit the correct answer.

Wang Lele originally wanted to follow Chi Yiyin to make money and hold his thighs, so he kept paying attention to Chi Yiyin, which saved his own life.

As for the rock man who triggered the plot...

He did not complete the task.

However, Gu Xi opened his eyes to the Internet, allowing Rock Man to find his companion's body and return to the dungeon.

Before Chi Yiyin woke up, the rock man had already returned to Xiaomulou.

There are still four days left in the dungeon, and the rock man also moved from the second floor to the utility room near the kitchen on the first floor, because it is the closest to the door.

And his companion's body was temporarily placed in the ice and snow outside the door by him.

Living there, rock men can visit and chat with their companions at any time.

It was as if his companion hadn't died.

Chi Yiyin looked at Gu Xichao with a smile: "This surprised me, I didn't expect you to let him go."

Gu Xichao didn't look up, but slowly flipped through the book in his hand, calmly dispelled Chi Yiyin's words, and said, "I'm lying, you already guessed it."

Chi Yiyin just smiled and said nothing.

He had indeed guessed.

Mastering a person's core character is equivalent to holding the other party's lowest logic in his hands, and as long as the other party is a character that thinks and acts according to logic, he cannot escape from the planned track.

This was enough for Chi Yiyin to judge Gu Xichao's decision.

Gu Xichao hates people who stand by and watch. In his opinion, turning away your head and turning a blind eye when you hear a call for help is no different from being an accomplice.

He hates evil, and he hates cowardice.

Only a firm and pure idealist can make Gu Xichao feel good about him.

And the Rock Man happens to be such a person.

Even though he once forgot his memory in the dungeon at a low level, his persistent belief in his companions allowed him to break through the curse of the dungeon with his willpower, and he remembered some intermittently.

He spent a full two years preparing for this dungeon, and what he wanted was not money or fame.

Just a skeleton of a companion.

This helping hand and firmness to his companions was enough to impress Gu Xichao.

Even if the rock man failed to complete the task in the end, or died in the dungeon, Gu Xichao would definitely reunite the two of them. Putting the bodies together was all about the rock man's obsession.

But now, Gu Xichao was moved by Chi Yiyin, moved by the publishing plan, and because of this, there were some changes in his previous behavior style, which made him softer than his past self, and let the rock boy come back.

The rock man also knew that he had saved his life. When he heard a voice in the living room, he walked over from the back room, and silently bowed deeply to Chi Yiyin almost 180 degrees.

Chi Yiyin didn't reach out to help - the rock man's survival did have his reasons.

He deserved it.

It took a long time for the rock boy to straighten up.

"Mr. Chi, thank you for your rescue."

The rock man thanked him earnestly: "Although I don't understand how you did it, I know that everyone has secrets, especially a high-level player like you. I won't ask you if you have any precious skills and props , I just want you to know that I owe you my life."

"As long as I'm still alive, as long as you're still in the game field, no matter what you need, just tell me, and I will definitely risk my life to help you do it."

The Rock Man looked extremely serious.

This reminded Chi Yiyin of the first time he met him.

At that time, he was listening to rock music, smiling and wanting to talk to someone and share news, like a child who was afraid of loneliness and eager for attention, which was completely different from the seriousness now.

But looking back now, it should be that even though his memory was erased due to the curse of the dungeon, the rock boy still instinctively knew that he had a companion by his side.

He wanted to talk to his companion, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked, so that he fell into a daze under the conflict of two thoughts. The idea of ​​being unable to carry out became stronger, making him find others around him to share, desperately trying to fill the vacancy of his companions.

What Chi Yiyin thinks is, maybe, if there is no game field and no dungeon... The rock boy's original character is also as smiling and carefree as he showed when he lost his memory.

It's just all the dungeons experienced in the past two years, the rising player level, the accumulated deaths and points.

All these make the rock man gradually mature, stable, and become taciturn and serious.

Chi Yiyin fixedly glanced at the rock and roll man, and then laughed softly.

He pointed to his teacup and said, "Don't bet your life with others easily, how do you know that the person sitting across the gambling table is not a lunatic who cares nothing about life and death?"

"I'll talk about your life later, now, pour me a cup of hot tea."

When Chi Yiyin sat on the sofa and smiled, his silver-gray hair fell down. He smiled gently, like a well-rested aristocratic gentleman. He calmly gave the rock man a step, since he found something for him to do without embarrassment , so that the other party will not be in danger.

Even Gu Xichao raised his eyelashes and looked at Chi Yiyin.

"how?"

Chi Yiyin immediately had a perception, raised his eyebrows and looked back: "My choice surprised you?"

Gu Xichao was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, it's just... nothing."

Chi Yiyin saw his hesitation and doubts, but didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "It's okay, there are still four days, you can get to know me slowly—after all, we will spend a lot of time together hand in hand." Long, long time, until I die, or the world ends."

"There is another book waiting for us to write together, isn't it?"

He tilted his head and said with a light smile, "If the ideal is not realized, the ideal will never die."

Gu Xichao smiled, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

He has been trapped in **** for many years, and he has already given up all hope, but he never thought that at his most desperate moment, light fell into hell, drove away all darkness, and bestowed new hope on him.

God...

It turns out that demons can also become humans?

Gu Xichao was stunned, raised his eyes unconsciously, and looked at Li Sijun who was not far away.

After the plot was explained, Li Sijun returned to the dungeon. However, even an awakened person like Jingcha on the morning star list did not realize his existence. Only Chu Yueli faintly felt that there were other people in the small wooden building. exist.

Li Sijun watched the players kill each other, collapsed and complained coldly, and remained indifferent.

Gu Xichao once talked with him, and Li Sijun didn't have any dissatisfaction, he just told him lightly - do what you want.

"I never had an agreement with you, and it wasn't me who saved you."

At that time, there was no one, and Li Sijun's eyes were indifferent, like a **** enshrined in a temple: "You saved yourself."

"Humans destroy the world without knowing it, but they also save themselves. All I did was to let you survive until you met your true **** and belief."

Gu Xichao's solemn words were kept in his heart, and he didn't tell anyone.

Until Chi Yiyin woke up.

Li Sijun, who had been enjoying the snow scene leisurely, walked over slowly and sat down opposite Chi Yiyin.

"It's a dangerous journey indeed, though."

Li Sijun smiled and said, "If it's for this wonderful scenery, it's worth it, right?"

Chi Yiyin looked at him quietly for a long while before putting on a polite smile: "Probably so. But I value people more than scenery."

Always people.

The core and the most critical thing about the truth is never the superficial form, but the real people.

Their experiences, pain, struggles, screaming for help and collapse to the world...

Chi Yiyin wrote these down in his pen.

He always knew what he was doing, and his story, at its core, was always about being human.

Because he knows that if he is complacent and satisfied with only knowing one or two things, and thinks he has seen everything, it will be tantamount to hurting the person involved again.

If he only saw that Gu Xichao was the inviter and stopped exploring, or if he only saw that Gu Xichao killed someone and was going to kill Gu Xichao... then he was destined to miss the truth.

Let the demon of pain continue to writhe in hell, and Beatrice will not appear.

Li Sijun is condescending, with a wide field of vision and a panoramic view of the world, but people are too small in his eyes.
