Let Me Shoulder This Blame!

Chapter 144: final assessment

Views:

The patrol has not gone far, any movement may lead those data back. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhuo dared to attack immediately. The man instinctively raised his gun to fight back.

"No, you are not the host..."

The man's eyes suddenly showed a little panic, and he staggered back a few steps: "You are a high-level data-you really have data that can go this far?!"

Compared with the host, it is extremely difficult to upgrade the data. If it has reached the level enough to independently enter the assessment world, it must have extremely terrifying strength.

Lu Zhuo didn't answer, just took a step towards him, and a cluster of flames jumped out of his palm.

Almost instantly deciding to protect himself first, the man gritted his teeth, suddenly took out a grenade, and threw it at the two of them forcefully.

The range of the light curtain was not enough to absorb the grenade, Lu Zhuo gave a low shout of caution, and turned around to protect Su Shi firmly. There was a deafening explosion, but a cloud of white smoke rose up behind him instantly.

Under the cover of thick smoke, the man staggered up with his hands on his shoulders, and disappeared into the jungle as soon as he moved.

Feeling that something was wrong with his lover's state, Su Shi frowned slightly, and raised his hand to hold Lu Zhuo first: "Such a big movement will definitely attract patrols, let's avoid it first, and deal with him later... "

The news had already been spread, and the words fell, and the sound of the huge engine of the pursuit ship quickly came from far to near, and it was already deafening in a blink of an eye.

The dust flew instantly, and the last light in the forest was also covered. Su Shi's heart sank slightly, and he didn't care to say anything more. He grabbed Lu Zhuo's wrist and dragged him to the depths of the jungle.

There are endless patrols, and no one wants to actually confront them head-on. Although the deep forest outside the base is dangerous, it is already the only way out of the predicament.

Su Shi took a tense breath and did not dare to relax, and pulled him into the dark jungle. He hasn't completely absorbed the energy of the crystal nucleus, so he can only rely on pure physical strength to evade the pursuit. It didn't take long before he felt that his footsteps gradually became heavy. Enduring the dizziness, he stopped.

He clearly remembered that he never let go of his hand.

Suddenly, he was the only one left in the overgrown forest.

Lu Zhuo was nowhere to be found, and the person who took advantage of the fire probably didn't go in this direction, and the scattered mental power seemed to blend into a non-returning space of another dimension without sound. Su Shi took a few steps forward, suddenly felt that something was wrong, thoughtfully supported the tree trunk and raised his head.

No wonder it was said in the survival instructions for the final assessment that it is necessary to avoid entering the depths of various jungles outside the base as much as possible.

He seemed to know what was going on.

The next moment, a dazzling revolving lantern appeared in front of him.

Even he himself doesn't remember that he has experienced so many desperate situations, tortured, tortured, framed, abandoned, isolated and helpless, and destroyed faith. dark.

This is [Tree of Fear].

When he was dispatched to the end of the world to be a son of hell, he briefly possessed the ability to manipulate plants, and there were such plants in that vampire forest.

It is actually a derivative of Bailian Space, which can have a similar effect to a certain extent, but it does not reincarnate real memories in different ways, but directly creates illusions to trap people in it. Once the fear cannot be overcome, it can only become the nourishment of the fear tree.

The revolving lantern that I saw just now is that the Fear Tree is reading the prey’s memories, and if it finds what the prey fears the most, it will directly project it in an exaggerated hallucination.

Su Shi waited for a while, but still couldn't see any projection.

The picture in front of him finally disappeared, and it changed back to the dark and silent forest. For the time being, he didn't have any extra thoughts to pay attention to his own situation, so Su Shi speeded up to absorb the last bit of energy from that crystal nucleus, and his body sank into the forest.

Some of the past is indeed heavy, but it is not really scary. He has always been the type to watch horror movies with popcorn in his arms, and he lives a happy and contented life. If Fiannianshu finds him as a prey, he probably has nowhere to say anything.

There is no need to worry about his own situation, but he is not at all worried about the lovely person.

Looking at the opponent's state during the fight, it's not quite right. Maybe the breath of the tree of fear has already dispersed there, so Lu Zhuo will be affected. If the hallucinations come, it will be very troublesome.

The more Su Shi thought about it, the more worried he became. He accelerated his speed and walked through the almost pitch-black woods, searching for his lover who he had lost at some point.

The sight is limited, and the mental power cannot be spread, so the direction can only be judged by hearing. Sensing the faint sound of footsteps coming from the bushes beside him, Su Shi hurried over and looked through the bushes, only to see a palm-width blade of grass with a few cleanly washed fruits on it.

Lu Zhuo obviously wouldn't do such a thing, and the system didn't follow. This kind of forest is uninhabitable at first glance, maybe it is food for small animals, scared away by the sound of my own footsteps, but I didn't have time to take the fruit away with it.

The body under high tension is easy to feel tired. Su Shi stopped on the spot and took a few breaths, and helped drag the grass blades into the grass, and then moved some grass to cover them, and then continued to start a new round of search.

This forest seems to be very large, and finding people has never been his specialty, so he walked around the second time without finding anything, his footsteps became heavier, and his throat was so dry that it was hot and smoking.

After following the abnormal rustling sound again, he still couldn't find the figure in his heart, but saw the blade of grass again.

On top of the blades of grass there were new fruits, and there seemed to be writing on one of them.

The strength in his body was almost exhausted. Su Shi supported the tree trunk and knelt down halfway to give his tired body a little rest. After all, he couldn't help being curious. He picked up the fruit with the engraved characters and identified it for a while under the faint light. , Only to find that it says "To Su Shi" written crookedly on it.

Su Shi suddenly had some premonition in his heart, raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and looked around, but still couldn't see any movement.

The body was very thirsty, but these fruits came just in time. Su Shi smiled, picked up the fruit and shook it into the darkness, and said warmly, "Thank you, it was a great help."

The grass swayed, and a black shadow quickly merged into the further darkness.

Su Shi laughed helplessly, lifted the fruit and tried to take a bite. The sweet and crunchy taste was refreshing, the juice moistened the dry throat, and the body seemed to have regained some strength.

After eating the fruits and taking a short rest, Su Shi entered the jungle again.

The darkness can easily blur people's perception of time. Su Shi didn't know how long he had wandered around in this woods. He failed to find his lover, but received a lot of small gifts.

As if encouraged by the first success, the little black shadow appeared more and more frequently, and after a few times of fruit delivery, it was replaced by bright and beautiful flowers, shiny stones, washed clean old toys. Su Shi had vaguely guessed his identity, and wanted to ask him to help him find Lu Zhuo, but every time he got closer, the black shadow immediately fled into the darkness as if afraid of life.

The little guy is undoubtedly kind, but the lover is still nowhere to be seen. In such a dark forest, maybe the two of them have passed by countless times, which really makes people feel a little anxious.

Su Shi rubbed his forehead and couldn't help sighing softly. Just as he avoided a tree trunk that he could only see clearly when he was close at hand, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He saw a little light.

In the woods where you can hardly see your fingers, the light is made small and bright, and it falls steadily under a tree, like a street lamp that was left behind on purpose.

Su Shi couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and slowed down, took off the little light ball, and the shiny little ball fell on the palm of his hand, which felt warm and soft to the touch.

Feeling the familiar power contained in it, Su Shi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but chuckled dumbly, put the warm light on his lips and kissed, leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes, his body finally lost strength Slip and sit down.

Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps came.

The temperature of the light ball was getting hotter and hotter. If Su Shi felt it, he leaned over and looked over. Lu Zhuo had already quickly walked to his side, half-kneeling down panting, and hugged the whole person into his arms.

"It actually made you think of this method. Sure enough, you are much more skilled than me in finding people..."

The breath beside the ear was rapid and heavy, and it was obvious that he had searched for him in a large circle in the woods, maybe the two were really busy looking for each other, and missed it several times unknowingly.

Su Shi chuckled, hugged his strong and broad back with his backhand, and patted lightly: "I thought you would be trapped—are you not afraid anymore?"

"I'm afraid, but I know that if you promise, you will definitely do it."

The arms around him were carefully tightened, the voice next to her ears was slightly hoarse, but with a firmness and softness that made one's heart burn.

"It's meaningless to be afraid of you in the illusion. What I want to find is the real you, find you, and then protect you..."

Although he fell into an illusion for a short time, he was not trapped at all just because he realized that it was just an illusion. Not long after Su Shi started looking for him, Lu Zhuo also started searching for his lover.

It was too dark in the jungle, and because he was worried that he and his lover would be missed due to the limited vision, Lu Zhuo deliberately left light clusters after a while. As long as Su Shi can find any of them, he will feel it, and then rush back to his lover as quickly as possible.

Su Shi's eyes were slightly astringent, he smiled at him, and kissed the corner of his lips: "You protect well."

"It's not good at all, otherwise it wouldn't hurt you."

The palm had already touched the blood on his lover's back, Lu Zhuo's arms were slightly tight, but he still gently kissed him back, found a stone and sat down, asked his lover to lie on his lap, and let out a ray of light to illuminate.

The warm light dispelled the cold darkness in the forest, and he carefully stripped off his clothes before Su Shi remembered the injury on his back.

The disadvantage of analgesics is here. In such wounds that only exist on the body, the pain can be completely shielded, but precisely because there is no pain at all, it is easy to make people forget that they have been injured, which often leads to wounds. not processed in a timely manner.

No wonder he gets tired so easily, Su Shi blinked his eyes, coughed lightly with guilt, relaxed his body and fell down.

Suddenly a little weight was added to the leg, Lu Zhuo raised his heart slightly, looked down, saw his lover's eyes were still bright, finally let go of his heart, and continued to deal with the injury on his back neatly.

Although he didn't feel any pain, his wound hadn't been treated in time, and he had already bled a lot, and even his clothes were stuck to the wound, which looked completely shocking.

Lu Zhuo asked several times and confirmed that his lover did not feel the pain, and finally carefully uncovered his blood-stained clothes.

Although it doesn't hurt, the dizziness is real. Su Shi blinked his eyes to keep his mind from slipping into drowsiness, but there were still waves of black mist rising in front of his eyes, and he was in the middle of the chaos when he suddenly heard Lu Zhuo's vigilant voice: "Who!"

The familiar voice quickly faded away from the grass, Su Shi's thoughts moved slightly, and he leaned forward to look over, but the grass had already returned to calm, and the people who had been hiding before had undoubtedly quickly hid again.

"It doesn't matter, it should be my friend."

Holding his lover's wrist, Su Shiwen said in a warm voice, telling him not to be too nervous, and took out those various small gifts from the pockets of his clothes that were temporarily put aside, and showed them to him.

"It's him?"

Lu Zhuo was slightly surprised, hugged his lover's body and lay back on his knees, and said slowly after a little memory: "I remember him, his code name is LD-09, because he added a lot of advanced skill codes, he was just When he was in primary data, he had gone through many worlds, but he had been playing various cannon fodder roles—but unfortunately, the first time he gave birth to self-awareness to play the leading role, he was assigned an extremely difficult end-of-the-world task …”

In the last days, that piece of data was put on the child of hell who was abused and abandoned as a test object, but gained power by accident, and was infinitely hostile and rejected by human beings.

Even Su Shi almost chose to blacken himself for that mission, and it was almost impossible to bear the desperate pressure for the newborn data who had just given birth to self-awareness.

"Based on the time when self-awareness was born, he should still be a child now, and he probably wants to repay you by seeing the world you walked through for him—but for him, the only clear memory is that of that world. In the first half, there will probably still be some resistance to humans, so we can only adjust slowly."

After confirming that it was not a threat, Lu Yan let go of his heart, sighed in a low voice, and took him into his arms: "I still have some things in my hand. When we leave, we will also leave some gifts for him in return. .Don't worry, he'll get better."

Su Shi nodded, Ren Airen dealt with the wound on his back, slowly looked through the "gifts", and carefully put away everything, tried to cheer up, and asked about the specific experience of the other party in the forest.

Lu Zhuo can resist those illusions, but it may not leave shadows. If he didn't care about it and fell asleep, the other party might be frightened again.

"I don't have any injuries on my body, and I am much more relaxed than you. The illusion it produces is too exaggerated, and it is almost unreal at a glance, so it doesn't feel scary."

While succinctly reporting his own experience, Lu Zhuo neatly bandaged him up, took out a piece of new clothes to help him put on, and hugged him into his arms: "How is your side, did you encounter anything?"

The situation here is similar to that of Bailian Space, but it is much easier to deal with than Bailian Space. He can see through it at a glance that it is just an illusion. After knowing that it is an illusion, it will undoubtedly be much easier to handle.

I am used to the feeling of being in that space, but the lovely person has no experience in dealing with these things after all. After searching in the woods for so long, Lu Zhuo is also full of uneasiness in his heart.

Hearing his inquiry, Su Shi remembered the strange situation he encountered at that time, smiled and shook his head: "It passed the revolving door for me once, and then returned to reality, without even hallucinations, probably because it discovered that I really There's nothing to be afraid of..."

He was just joking casually, but he didn't notice that his lover's eyes were darkened, he only felt that the arms behind him tightened slightly. Subconsciously grabbed the other person's shoulders and wanted to ask, but Lu Zhuo had lowered his head and kissed his forehead gently, the warm touch moved down gently along his eyebrows and eyes: "Don't worry, it will never happen."

Su Shi couldn't help but be puzzled by this sentence. He wanted to ask in detail, but his lips and teeth were sealed by Lu Zhuo, and everything he wanted to say was swallowed.

In the pitch-black forest that was far away from the light, a small black figure came out without sound.

It was a boy with black hair and black eyes, with a thin body, holding a lot of discarded and carefully repaired and washed toys in his arms.

He patted his heaving chest, turned his head to see that no one was chasing him, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

I was almost discovered just now, but fortunately I ran fast.

The fear tree did not produce illusions, and returned directly to reality, not because the prey had nothing to fear, but because that person feared loneliness the most—the forest composed of fear trees was absolutely lonely from the very beginning .

Unexpectedly, Su Shi was already such a grown-up person, yet he was still afraid of being left alone.

He was not afraid, so with him secretly accompanying Su Shi along the way, Su Shi would definitely not be afraid.

Now someone is coming to pick up Su Shi. He has met that person before, and he will protect Su Shi very well. Anyone who wants to bully Su Shi will be bullied back by that person, so there is no need to continue to accompany him. .

The boy was relieved and felt that he had accomplished a very important event. He stood there contentedly for a while, but his thin shoulders slowly collapsed. He sat down on the rock, and his arms holding the toy gradually tightened.

But I still have a lot of treasured gifts that I haven't given him yet.

If I had known that I should not be reluctant to be in the woods before, I should have put a few more in the grass.

The chest suddenly overflowed with strange grievances, and the eye sockets quickly filled with water vapor. The boy secretly sniffled, raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and suddenly felt the sound of slowly approaching footsteps.

The vigilance he had trained made him instinctively want to hide, so he got up when he was suddenly covered by a warm embrace that was unfamiliar to him.

The boy had nowhere to escape, and raised his head in panic, but met a pair of gentle eyes with a smile.

With a gentle force on the top of his head, the boy shivered, and his body quickly froze in place, staring at him blankly.

"You have to let me say thank you in person."

Su Shi smiled and rubbed his head, let go of his arms and squatted in front of him, with one arm on his knee, and patiently wiped away the tears on his face: "You are the son of hell, aren't you?"

"I'm… "

Almost never talked to anyone, the boy's face suddenly showed some embarrassment and anxiety, but the light in his eyes lit up inch by inch, and he responded jerky and slowly, his pale cheeks were glowing because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. Pale blood.

His chest rose and fell a few times, and suddenly he seemed to muster up his courage. When he stuffed all the things in his arms to Su, he looked at him with bright eyes, and his voice suddenly became louder: "Thank you!"

Before he was thrown into this world and was responsible for guarding the forest of fear, he had seen the world that Su Shi had completed for him.

He had just evolved a sense of self-awareness, and if Su Shi hadn't come in time to take over and finish the plots that he couldn't go through instead, he would no longer exist by now.

The other party has done much better than him, not only protected the Infinite City, but also became friends with those humans outside.

He actually wanted friends too.

Su Shi got up with a smile and rubbed his head lightly. The boy's eyes became brighter, and suddenly he raised his hand to let a bouquet of flowers bloom from his hand. He picked off the flowers and handed them to him, with a pure smile on his face.

"We also have a gift for you, which is a gift exchanged between friends."

After picking up the things that he had stuffed all over his head, Su Shi smiled and pressed his shoulders, while Lu Zhuo walked over slowly, picked out a few materials that could be used to survive in the forest, and put them gently in his hands Wen Sheng said: "Thank you for being with him."

It was only at this time that he noticed Lu Zhuo's existence, and the boy instinctively wanted to hide again, then stopped abruptly, looked up at Su Shi, and then mustered up the courage to take the few supplies he handed over.

All his things have been given to Su Shi, and now there is nothing to return the gift. With a blushing face, he hesitated for a while, before handing over the handful of grass leaves that had just been deflowered in his hand: "Thank you..."

The author has something to say:

Gong: look. I can still get presents.

Involved in the previous article: The son of hell [the gentle and extremely evil one] was once tortured as a research material, and after the base was destroyed, he was mutated by radiation, and his ability was to control plants. There is a vampire forest, and what is protected in the forest is the infinite city that shelters the abandoned.

Because Su Shi was besieged by human beings without a bottom line, he almost chose to blacken himself and blew himself up and went back to the main space to accept the punishment of Bailian space. The attacker rushed to stop him in time.
