The four of them sat on the bed in silence.

Fang Qi was hugged tightly from behind by Pang Yang, his lips were as pale as his face, haggard and desperate.

Pang Yang said to Fang Qi sullenly: "Qizi, you must calm down. The human pupae master is really scary, **** and violent. Not only will you not be able to save that person, but you will also be tortured and killed."

Pang Yang was also very sad. Two days ago, the boy said to them, "It's fine."

It's good that the favorite dead player didn't come to him when he came to them.

This means that if the person he wants to find is in the game, he will not die.

Who knew, that person was turned into a pupa.

I don't know which is better, death or turning into a human chrysalis.

Fang Qi kept silent, just staring in the direction of the Human Chrysalis Master.

For so many days before, the human pupae master didn't take out the human pupae. After discovering that Fang Qi knew the human pupae, she kept spinning the human pupae bucket.

Fang Qi said hoarsely, "Did he not look at me? Why didn't he look at me?"

Even being dumb couldn't hide the panic inside.

Pang Yang didn't know what to say.

Ning Su glanced at the human pupa.

After the driver lady came out to maintain order, the boat became much quieter, and the ghouls who had made a big fuss sat silently on the bed.

At this time, the most excited person in the ship is the human pupa master, and also the only one excited.

She kept turning the chrysalis, looking at it with interest.

Ning Su asked Pang Yang: "Is the pupa conscious?"

When he saw Pang Yang hugging the human pupa in the storage room, the human pupa reacted.

Pang Yang said: "Some people may have pupae, whether they have or not, they are completely controlled by human pupae masters."

Ning Su: "Can I leave that person's chrysalis tank?"

Pang Yang: "It's not impossible, but why did they leave..."

How to live.

Pang Yang didn't say anything.

The reason why the Human Pupa Master is so frightening is because of her terrifying skill weapon, the Human Pupa Vat. She can use the Human Pupa Vat to cultivate human pupae. If the human pupa leaves the Human Pupa Vat, even those who lack arms or legs may not survive. ah.

Fang Qi still muttered hoarsely, "Why doesn't he look at me, he doesn't look at me, doesn't look at me..."

The voice was more anxious than before.

Ning Su: "You subconsciously think that he won't look at you, so you think that he deliberately doesn't look at you, and that's why you're so anxious."

Fang Qi has been looking for this person.

It's just that he's looking for it.

He only wanted to find it by himself, never thought that that person would find him.

He subconsciously felt that that person would not look for him, even if he saw him.

Otherwise, he would not enter this dungeon.

Before entering this dungeon, they didn't know what the base time of this dungeon was. It's hard to say the virtual time of the dungeon, but the base time is between three days and half a month, and the preliminary round of the individual competition was a week after the day they entered the dungeon. start.

To be on the safe side, he will prepare for the individual competition. The individual competition is open, and all players in the base can see it. If he performs well in the individual competition, there is a high possibility of being seen by that person.

But he didn't participate in the individual competition, but continued to enter the dungeon, looking for that person like a needle in a haystack.

Obviously, he felt that even if that person saw him, he would not come to him, and might avoid him.

Fang Qi froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at Ning Su stiffly.

He seemed to have finally come to his senses, he no longer just muttered that sentence, but he was about to cry.

"Yes, he wouldn't want to see me."

Pang Yang couldn't see him like this, so he comforted him: "Why, you are looking for him desperately."

He patted Fang Qi on the shoulder to divert his attention, "What's your relationship?"

Fang Qi: "His name is Lin Zhongxi, we, we grew up together."

Pang Yang: "It's a bamboo horse. The relationship must be very good. What kind of enmity can there be at such an age? Just let it go."

Fang Qi didn't speak in a daze, his eyes looked at the human pupa again, and his eye sockets were wet and red.

"You want to help him?"

The two children sat on the deck fishing and grilling fish, Ling Xiao was in charge of fishing, the two children were in charge of cleaning, and Ning Su was in charge of grilling fish.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Ling Xiao asked him.

Ning Su turned the fish over, and said "huh" uncertainly.

Among the people who got into the hearse together, Ning Su and Zhu Shuangshuang have the best relationship, because Zhu Shuangshuang regards him as family here.

For Fang Qi, it's another kind, strangely feeling like a comrade-in-arms.

This comrade-in-arms is not fighting side by side, but looking for someone in this unknown and terrifying world together in an incomprehensible way.

It was seeing Fang Qi so determined to find that person that Ning Su came up with the idea of looking for Ling Xiao in the world of "Flower Slave", so he kept walking in the Black Ze, and he must find him.

He found his heart, which in turn found him.

He found it.

He is very happy.

This was something he had never imagined before. It turned out that the person who had been serving as food, companionship, and safe haven when he was a child could be alone.

For this happiness that he never thought about, he also wanted to help Fang Qi.

I want to bring about another perfection.

But he wasn't sure if he could help.

Ling Xiao: "Why don't you ask the opinion of the other person involved first."

Ning Su was taken aback, then raised his eyes to look at him, "You're right."

"I don't want to see him."

Ning Su didn't expect that the chrysalis could still speak.

After eating the grilled fish, Ning Su brought the two children to find the Human Pupa Master. The Human Pupa Master was very interested in this matter and did not stop him from communicating with his own Human Pupa.

The human chrysalis stretched out its long neck, with its back to the human chrysalis vat, facing the direction of the window, and said these words stickily.

Ning Su: "He hardly took a break when he entered the game base, and he was looking for you regardless of his life."

"He is very kind to me." The man named Lin Zhongxi said.

"I have had vision problems since I was a child. When it was the worst, I couldn't see clearly. He has always held my hand and led me to school."

"When I couldn't see the blackboard clearly, he was the one who took notes for me and whispered each sentence to me."

After Fang Qi's grandmother brought Fang Qi to their place, Fang Qi stayed with him all the time, not only in the same class but also at the same table.

Lin Zhongxi's body was covered with sticky and cold liquid, but he still remembered the smell of sunshine at that time.

In summer, the campus was hot and noisy, the teacher was explaining boring formulas on the blackboard, Fang Qi lay beside his ear and whispered the blackboard writing to him, his voice was clear and hot.

He listened quietly, as if he suddenly heard the cry of a bird, and turned to look at him.

The sunlight fell on him through the sycamore leaves outside the window, brightly printing on his blurred eyes.

He smelled the sun, the smell of sycamore leaves wrapped in washing powder and soap locust, which has accompanied him for many years and never left.

Lin Zhongxi said stickily: "Except for my mother, there is no one who treats me so well."

"He is my blind rod, the clearest and brightest existence in my world, because of him, I no longer resist going out, and no longer resist school."

Fang Qi said to Pang Yang in a daze: "When I first moved to my grandma's place, the children there didn't want to play with me, only him was different."

"Because of his eyesight problems, he has no friends. Those kids call him a little blind."

"It's okay, we play together, luckily we have each other."

"From the first grade of elementary school to the third year of high school, I have been at the same table with him and accompany him to and from school almost every day."

Fang Qi still remembers the first grade of elementary school. When he took Lin Zhongxi's hand to school, the children followed them and shouted: "Outsiders and blind people!"

The two children kept holding hands, going to school and then going home.

In a blink of an eye, it was the scene of him riding a bicycle to take him home when he was in middle school. He was holding on to his school uniform tightly behind him, talking to him with a smile.

"Thinking about it, we are closer than our parents and family members."

Going to and from school together every day, sitting at the same table every day, even my parents don't have such a long company.

What's more, his parents spent no more than a week with him in total.

"He is a very quiet and comfortable person. From his appearance to his aura, he is very reassuring. If possible, I would like to stay with him like this forever." Fang Qi said looking in that fixed direction.

Lin Zhongxi said to Ning Su: "Look, I'm not what I was then. I'm like this now, and it's uncomfortable to look at it even more. Why bother to say goodbye, let him keep the memories of that time."

His voice gradually became low and astringent, as if he had exhausted his energy after saying these words.

His head hung slightly on his slender neck, and his eyelids drooped loosely.

Ning Su let out a "huh".

He didn't say much, and left with the two children.

After Ning Su left, the human pupa's head drooped completely, its wet and greasy forehead pressed against the ship's plank, corroding the plank.

The sound of "" sounded very lonely and sad.

Xue Wei said: "The reason for your refusal is a bit far-fetched. If he is really that good, if it is me, I will return to him no matter what, or tie him by my side."

Lin Zhongxi's voice was no longer human-like, "He's really nice."

"Even though, after being ridiculed, he once threw me on the mountain."

"Even if he left me not just once..."

In the third grade of elementary school, Fang Qi became familiar with the environment here, and was no longer that poor and rustic "foreign household".

But his eyesight is still poor, his parents failed in business, and he is no longer a rich man there.

He was with him and was laughed at all the time.

How can an eight-year-old boy lose his temper all the time? He was ridiculed all the way that day, and he lost his temper. He threw him on the mountain and ran away.

He once thought, if this is the case, why did he still say to take him to the mountains to play, he would rather stay at home alone.

At that time, his eyes hurt, and when he fumbled and stumbled down the mountain, his whole body was injured.

He cried and apologized to him, "With so many injuries, do you feel pain? I will never leave you like this again in the future."

He is only an eight-year-old child, who can not forgive him.

At the age of eight he dropped him on the mountain, at the age of eighteen he dropped him again.

At that time they were in love.

He was the one who first realized that he liked Fang Qi. Fang Qi escaped for two months, and finally they secretly got together.

They were discovered within less than a month of being together.

Among them, they cannot fall in love in high school, but this is not a serious problem, the serious thing is that they are all boys.

One of them was also half-blind and out of tune with the class.

The teacher asked them to read the review in front of the whole school and asked their parents.

Fang Qi's grandmother is gone, and the school wants to call his parents who are far away.

He panicked.

Even though his parents haven't been with him much, even though his parents have already started their own families.

He still wants to leave a good image in the hearts of his parents like crazy, but he can't explain why.

Xue Wei was very interested in such things, she sat on the lower bunk bed, bent over and approached the head of the pupa, "So, what did he do?"

"He took the love letter I wrote to him and went to the teacher and said that I seduced him. He thought it through clearly, it was not love, he was misled by me."

"I was the only one who was reviewing in front of the whole school when the flag was raised. Not only was I blind and gay, but I also seduced the only classmate who was willing to play with me. I became a joke."

"They said I was sick, they said I was a scourge, and they laughed and bullied me every day."

"I was locked in the toilet that day, and I always thought he would come to pick me up again."

"No, I was discovered by the janitor in the middle of the night, and I went back in a daze. My eyesight was even worse at night, and I didn't see the car."

Xuewei: "You hate him, so you don't want to see him."

The head of the chrysalis kept touching the floor, and more and more sticky liquid gathered there.

Xuewei patted his neck, "Number 12, you know, you are my favorite human pupa, that's why you are so complete, I will always support you."

Human Pupa's voice was hoarse and indistinct, "Then I won't live long, can I?"

Fang Qi cried and said: "I didn't expect them to bully him so much. His parents can accept that he is gay, so I was encouraged to say that. What I think is that this matter will calm down as soon as half a year later. We can go to a foreign university together."

"I went to find him, and I sent him to the hospital."

"He woke up once before he died and said he was going somewhere I would never find him, he hated me, he didn't want to forgive me."

Fang Qi covered his face with his hands, "I am too cowardly, I have been a coward since I was a child."

Ning Su turned his head and glanced at that man's pupa.

He thought for a while, then walked back, "There is one thing I still want to tell you."

"Before Fang Qi entered this game, he died because of a fight with his classmates."

Speaking of this, Ning Su has nothing more to say.

When he returned, Fang Qi had already calmed down.

He wiped off the tears on his face, and walked slowly to the human pupa master.

They didn't hear what Fang Qi said to the Human Pupa Master, they saw Fang Qi stretching out his hand to Lin Zhongxi.

He seemed to want to hold his hand to school when he was a child, and subconsciously pulled his hand, but the hand he used to hold was gone.

His hands froze there.

Pang Yang rubbed his face in pain, "What's the matter, why is this happening?"

After Fang Qi walked over, he never came back.

Seeing that he didn't come back, Pang Yang asked Ning Su, "Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Ning Su said, "He may not come back."

"What's the meaning?"

Ning Su looked there with calm eyes, "Fang Qi may be joining the Yongming Society."

It was his solution, his choice.

Ning Su remembered that at the end of the "Huanu" copy, he, Fang Qi, and Ning Changfeng went to deal with the Lord and the others. Ning Changfeng asked Fang Qi if he had thought it through.

Fang Qi said that he had thought it over clearly. He was too weak and bloodless before, and lost the most important person.

His final choice was still cowardly to Ning Su.

But no one can judge him, none of them are him.

Pang Yang stared blankly at Fang Qi, he was surprised but also understood.

It's just that from now on, they are members of the hostile society.

He said again, "What's all this? The brother who slept on my upper bunk has become a member of my hostile society."

Ning Su turned over to the upper bunk, lay beside Ling Xiao, and told Ling Xiao about it in a low voice.

Ling Xiao actually saw it in the storage room, and heard what Fang Qi told Pang Yang just now.

In Ning Su's narration, he knew a more complete story.

He asked Ning Su: "Do you think Fang Qi's final choice is still cowardly?"

Ning Su said softly: "If Xuewei dares to turn the person I love most into a human pupa, I will definitely kill her with a knife, and then take away her human pupa jar."

In fact, after learning that Xue Wei bit off Shi Tianshu's foot with a human pupa, Ning Su wrote her down in his notebook.

"Of course I know that Fang Qi can't do it now, not to mention that he really wants to fight Xuewei in the storage room. This choice is just cowardly on me, but I don't think Fang Qi is cowardly now. people."

"He is cowardly, and it is also cowardly to put on him." Ling Xiao said with certainty.

"He wanted to kill the pupa master, but he took the initiative to cling to her. Isn't it cowardly?"

Ning Su looked up at him, is this what the gods think.

Ling Xiao said: "He was cowardly before, because he left Lin Zhongxi behind."

"He chooses to be cowardly now so that he won't leave Lin Zhongxi behind."

Ning Su was taken aback.

Because of cowardice, Fang Qi left Lin Zhongxi alone, left him alone on the mountain, left him alone in malice, left him alone in the abyss of death.

Therefore, Fang Qi became brave little by little.

He really got braver.

When the newcomer hesitated to back off, he dug out dungeons without any scruples, copy after copy, and dared to kill the king in the fifth-level dungeon.

He also dared to raise his fist against the human pupa master.

He truly became a brave man for Lin Zhongxi, but in the end he chose to be cowardly in order not to leave Lin Zhongxi behind.

Fang Qi's skills do not match the Yongming Society, and with his current qualifications, he is not yet welcome by the Yongming Society.

He may not be as simple as joining the Eternal Underworld Society.

For the first time, Ning Su knew that there is a kind of cowardice and bravery.

He looked back at Fang Qi again and pursed his lips.

As it was getting dark, the speed of the ship was getting slower and slower.

At this time, everyone thought of what the driver lady said, the destination is coming.

The other players had already started to appease the ghoul. When Ning Su got off the bed, Pang Yang had already recovered.

"It seems that we are about to reach our destination. Do we have to hurry up and do something?" He said to Ning Su in a panic.

"This is the first one I've seen. It's almost the last day, and the system prompt doesn't show it at all. I always feel something is wrong."

Ning Su: "If it's not in the process, it's the final customs clearance assessment."

Pang Yang: "What do you mean?"

Ning Su glanced at the old man and said to Pang Yang, "Come with me."

On this ship, the old man is by far the calmest of all the ghouls.

When the ghouls realized their own death, the first stage was anger and resignation, which was reflected in the group fight in the morning.

The second stage is pain and despair, which is the state at this time.

The old man also felt restless and anxious in the first stage, but he did not participate in the group fight, and appeared calmer at this stage.

When Ning Su and the others passed by, the old man was holding two pieces of paper.

One is his blood-stained map, and the other is the painting that Manman and Guisheng gave him.

"Young man, I want to understand why there is blood on the map." He touched the dried blood on it and said, "This is my blood."

"I remembered that in our car, a man was crying and laughing suddenly. Someone went to comfort him. He killed the man with a knife, and then killed several people in the car. I was also stabbed in the chest. "

He touched the position on his chest, "The map was installed here at that time."

"I'm not sad, I'm just afraid that my daughter and little grandson will be sad when they find out. I hope they won't be sad, and don't feel a little bit of self-blame for it."

A player came over and said to the old man: "You are right, sometimes the living suffer more."

Ning Su remembered that this player was the second round, and the player who escaped death when his favorite dead player appeared.

He told the story of him and the player.

"I think she wants me to accept her death so that she can rest in peace. Now that I can accept his death, your daughter and little grandson can also accept it. It is best for each other to truly accept it."

On this dark road, the player and the dead body are opposite, and there is a certain complementarity in death.

Part of the resentment of the dead is for themselves, but more is for the loved ones.

The living may the dead rest in peace, and the dead may the living not be addicted, come out and live a good life.

The old man kept nodding his head, muttering in his mouth: "A Bodhisattva asks the cause, an ordinary person asks the result, why should life be sad, and why should death be bothered."

"There is no sorrow in life, and there is no pain in death."

The boy with the schoolbag on the upper bunk suddenly broke down and cried, "Why, I'm not afraid of death, but why can't you give me a little more time to show my mother the admission notice."

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have given her such a surprise. I should have called and told her."

"I should call her and tell her that I got the admission letter from Jin University, and call her to tell her that my mother has worked hard all these years."

The old man was still muttering with a sigh: "There is no sorrow in life, and there is no trouble in death."

The schoolbag boy cried and said, "I'm not afraid of going to hell. I've never done anything bad in my life, and it's safe to go to hell."

"I just regret it, and I just worry about my mother. She has worked hard for most of her life for me. How can she live alone after I die?"

Pang Yang quietly wiped away his tears, pulled Ning Su aside, and said to him, "I understand."

"Actually, I'm going to think about it that day."

"Corpse, ghost, good thing."

"Yin road, hearse, Wangchuan River, the next destination is the underworld."

Pang Yang said: "After listening to the words of the old man and the schoolbag boy, I realized that the system reminds us to do good deeds along the way, which is related to the destination."

Ning Su nodded, "As the old saying goes, the King of Hades' Book of Life and Death contains all records of good and evil."

Pang Yang confirmed his guess, "I heard that after people enter the underworld, they will be judged by the underworld based on their behavior during their lifetime. Only those who do good deeds and do no serious evil can be reincarnated."

"These players who were involved in the infinite game and died on the road or in the dungeon naturally cannot be reincarnated, so they are not the ones who are judged."

Ning Su nodded, "In this world of the underworld, it's us aliens who will be judged. The so-called reincarnation means returning to the world of the underworld, that is, leaving the copy."

"The basis of the trial is naturally not the behavior in life, but the performance on this dark road."

Pang Yang: "Is it possible to think of it this way, if we succeed in pretending to be a ghost, we will be judged like all living souls normally, but our trial result has an extra chance of reincarnation?"

Ning Su agreed: "If you think like this, you can match [but don't ask about your future if you do good things]."

Pang Yang: "Then, what if the trial fails?"

Ning Su glanced at the remaining players, "Those who cannot pass the first round of trials may have to be judged on the 18th floor, and finally survive the 18th floor of **** trials before they can be reincarnated. If they fail, they will stay in the here."

Pang Yang wiped his face.
