With a thin "ding", Ning Gu cut off a corner of the nine-winged dog-head mask.

Nine Wings stopped and stared at Ning Gu.

Ning Gu knew why he was staring at him. Nine Wings was a bug. He was once strong enough to see an administrator who was not just a brain. Although after hiding in Lost Valley and becoming Nine Wings, no one knew what he had for so many years. He has the same strength, but he is also the irreplaceable boss of Lost Valley.

Now after getting back the part of the poet, Ning Gu cut off a corner of the mask with a trick, which is somewhat surprising.

Just like if Ning Gu cut off a lock of Lian Chuan's hair, Lian Chuan would be surprised.

… No.

It will probably crush the throat bone directly.

"Sun Yi is very beautiful." Ning Gu said.

Nine Wings raised his head abruptly.

"Although the savior she was expecting turned out to be just a piece of code that was running incorrectly," Ning Gu's hand slowly groped into his clothes, pinching the corner of the paper, "Nine Wings."

Nine Wings didn't move, just looked at him.

Ning Gu held the piece of paper between his fingers, and shook it lightly: "Jiuyi, come back, we have agreed, you will get half of the main city."

Lian Chuan didn't look at Ning Gu, his gaze was always on Jiuyi. This is a bug that chose to delete itself. It can even forcibly lock the mental power in Lost Valley. Ning Gu's move "remembers our old days Friendship" may not be useful.

"The person you said you never want to see again," Ning Gu said, "is Sun Yi."

Lian Chuan reached out and grabbed Ning Gu by the collar, and dragged him out of the cave.

And the cold light on the nine-winged fingernails also filled the entire cave at this moment.

"Did I say something wrong?" Ning Gu pulled the collar forward twice, "I thought I could call out the former Nine Wings... Is he torn in two like Ye Xi?"

"The real Ye Xi was only in that hut in the end," Lian Chuan said, "never came out."

"You mean Nine Wings won't come back?" Ning Gu looked at Nine Wings standing among the silver lights in the cave, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Leave here first," Lian Chuan said, "The poet has just returned to Jiuyi's mind, give him some time to stabilize."

"What if Jiu Yi is fighting the poet in his head?" Ning Gu was not at ease, "What if he didn't fight the poet in the end?"

"Don't underestimate Nine Wings," Lian Chuan said, "Nine Wings is a bug that appeared in order to cooperate with the exit. The poet was not voluntarily locked in the Valley of Lost to sleep, but Nine Wings forcibly split his consciousness. The poet cannot be him. opponent."

At the same time that Lian Chuan and Ning Gu jumped to the next level of the figure-eight cave, the entrance to the Valley of Lost Path was suddenly sealed by silver light, just like the light net that sealed the poet before.

Lian Chuan turned his head, and Jiu Yi was standing in front of the upper hole, looking down at them.

"Where are you going?" Nine Wings asked.

"Find something to eat." Ning Gu said.

Nine Wings laughed, almost audibly dangerous when it came from behind the mask.

Lian Chuan suddenly jumped up while Jiu Yi was laughing, and rushed towards Jiu Yi.

Ning Gu quickly followed with a wave of his arm, and when the dark silver strokes moved towards Nine Wings, Lian Chuan had already knocked Nine Wings to the ground, pressing his fingertips on his throat.

But Jiu Yi suddenly raised his hand and blocked Ning Gu's attack.

Then he grabbed Lian Chuan's shoulder sideways, turned over from the ground, and stabbed his finger into Lian Chuan's shoulder.

"Betelgeuse!" Ning Gu climbed the cave wall and jumped to the upper floor, "Wake up!"

When he threw a heavy punch at Jiu Yi, the silver light wrapped in the wind he brought hit Jiu Yi's face at the same time.

"Received." Lian Chuan bumped his knee on Ning Gu's back at the same time that Jiu Yi was thrown backwards by Ning Gu.

Nine Wing's finger pricks almost brushed against Ning Gu's eyes.

"You're crazy!" Ning Gu roared, "Nine Wings! I know you don't want to choose!"

Nine Wings jumped up, turned over and hung upside down on the ceiling of the cave.

"There will be an exit!" Ning Gu looked up at him, "I am the exit! You know it! Sun Yi must have told you!"

"No one can decide whether those people will live or disappear," Jiuyi said, "There is no need to choose."

"I don't choose!" Ning Gu roared.

The finger pricks of Nine Wings gave off a cold light, like an overwhelming net, pressing down directly.

Lian Chuan pulled Ning Gu to the corner of the cave, and jumped up to the top of the cave against the cold light. A black spine pierced out of his swinging arm. When Nine Wings raised his hand to block, the spine pierced through his arm.

"Ning Gu," Lian Chuan said, "control."

I can't control it, I can't use it in the Valley of Lost...

No, the poet has already returned to Jiu Yi's body, and Qi Hang has also been temporarily dispersed.

Jiu Yi grabbed Lian Chuan and swung it upwards, and he swung Lian Chuan to the top of the cave, but at the same time, a second spine pierced out of Lian Chuan's palm and pierced Jiu Yi's shoulder.

Two vertebral spines nailed the nine wings to the roof of the cave.

Ning Gu lowered his head and took a breath, then raised his left hand.

The golden light blasted from the fingertips spread along the wall of the cave to the top of the cave instantly like a fire, dyeing the whole cave golden.

When Lian Chuan landed on the ground, Jiu Yi, who was pushed on the top of the cave, suddenly retracted his arms, peeling off his arms from the spines, and then his shoulders.

Before Lian Chuan could stand up, Nine Wings had already accelerated to the ground, and the metal under his feet hit Lian Chuan's back heavily.

Ning Gu didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that he heard a click on Lian Chuan's body.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Lian Chuan, and put down his raised hand.

His control doesn't work on Nine Wings!

Nine Wings injured Betelgeuse!

His eyes were burning hot from that "click".

When Ning Gu gritted his teeth and was about to jump down and fight Jiu Yi to the death, Lian Chuan suddenly raised his head.

"control."

The voice was calm and firm, Ning Gu flashed in front of Ning Gu's eyes the Betelgeuse who nailed the EZs all over the car in the ghost city, and was dragged back after losing all sanity.

"Control." Lian Chuan repeated.

"Who can—" Nine Wings roared, the metallic roar seemed to come from deep underground, when he stepped on the ground, the entire cave began to vibrate.

Then there was a crack in the roof of the cave, which expanded rapidly, and the falling black iron kept hitting the ground.

"Me." Ning Gu said.

The golden light from the fingertips exploded again, as if a hole had been blasted at the bottom of the golden lake, and the light poured out, rushing towards Nine Wings.

"Lost Valley?" Lei Yu jumped out from behind the cover, rushed to the entrance of Lost Valley, and pressed his hand to the ground.

"It's down here." Long Biao also knelt down on the ground.

The caracal walked back and forth outside the entrance anxiously, blowing air from its nose.

Everyone was stunned when the golden light burst out instantly from the ground.

Above the entire Lost Valley, golden light gushes out from the gaps in the Black Iron Wasteland, as if a tortuous map was drawn in the darkness.

The caracal rushed into the entrance.

"Boss!" Lei Yu shouted.

"Boss shouldn't be affected," Chunsan frowned, "What happened?"

"Be careful." Lei Yu looked at Long Biao, and in just a few seconds, his voice became hoarse.

"It will be fine." Long Biao glanced at him, "He is the strongest in the main city."

Before he could answer, Long Biao got up and walked away: "Cleanup team, be alert! Set up defenses in groups!"

The nine wings wrapped in golden light stood motionless in place, like a human-shaped fireworks.

Lian Chuan raised his hand, and two spines were nailed into Jiu Yi's shoulder, nailing him to the cave wall, and then two spines were also nailed to his leg.

After the golden light slowly disappeared, Ning Gu jumped down from the upper floor.

"Where is the injury?" He rushed to Lian Chuan.

"It's okay." Lian Chuan looked normal.

Ning Gu grabbed his hand and shook it, it was warm: "Nine wings are so strong?"

"Well," Lian Chuan looked at Jiu Yi, "he..."

"Ning Gu!" Fu Lu's voice came from the entrance of the cave, "What are you doing to the boss!"

"Boss—" Shouxi also rushed in.

"Don't get close to him," Lian Chuan said, "Just get it under control."

"Didn't I tell you to wait in the lair?" Ning Gu said.

"The Black Ring said that the Caracal has entered the Valley of Lost Way," Fu Lu pointed to the entrance of the cave while staring at Nine Wings, "Let's bring the Caracal here."

"Boss?" Lian Chuan turned his head and saw the caracal standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Boss?" Shouxi also turned his head, probably a little shocked that Lian Chuan put this name on the caracal cat, but quickly turned his head back, "What did you do!"

"He's fine," Ning Gu said, "he'll wake up in a while, otherwise there's no way of negotiating. The poet doesn't even give us a chance to speak, he just wants to kill us."

"Is the poet still there?" Floo asked.

"I don't know either." Ning Gu walked towards the entrance of the cave, wanting to say hello to the caracal cat, but found that it had already left.

"Just to see what happened," Lian Chuan said, "the cleaning team can feel it from above."

Ning Gu raised his head and found that a huge hole had collapsed above the cave, and it was dark outside.

"The outsides of these holes and passages in Lost Valley," he said softly, "are not solid."

"There seems to be a huge hole outside." Lian Chuan said.

"That coffin," Ning Gu looked at the blue sky and white clouds still floating in the darkness, a little dazed, "I know why Jiuyi doesn't want to come here."

"Seeing the beauty that will never be seen again," Lian Chuan said, "it will be very hard anyway."

"So he just wants to forget." Ning Gu sighed softly.

"I don't just want to forget," Jiu Yi, who had been nailed to the cave wall with his head down, suddenly said, "I'm afraid of remembering it."

Ning Gu turned his head abruptly: "Nine Wings? Nine Wings! Is it you!"

Jiu Yi raised his head slowly, stared at him, and said after a long time: "Guess."

"Boss!" Fu Lu jumped up and hugged one of Jiu Yi's legs.

"Boss!" Shouxi also jumped up and hugged Jiuyi's other leg.

"Let go!" Jiu Yi squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

"Put our boss down!" Fu Lu turned around and shouted at Lian Chuan.

"No." Lian Chuan looked at Jiu Yi, "Ask him if he wants to come down."

"Let's do this first." Nine Wings said.

"Does it hurt?" Fu Lu Shouxi didn't ask why he didn't come down.

"I don't feel it." Nine Wings said, "You two tell the Black Ring to look around and tell the cleanup team that the savior is back, and the scavenger must be moving. Travelers in the main city should be careful."

Fu Lu Shou Xi rushed out quickly.

"How do you know?" Ning Gu looked at Nine Wings.

"I was in that cave," Jiu Yi said, "I don't know how long I stayed there, from life to death."

"Why are you afraid of remembering it?" Lian Chuan asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"People who have nothing are the easiest to despair and fall to the bottom," Jiu Yi said, "I'm afraid that I will question the meaning of my life. After all, I just want to live, and it doesn't matter how I live."

Ning Gu turned to look at Lian Chuan.

"You are afraid that you will choose to end it." Lian Chuan said.

"Yes," Jiu Yi narrowed his eyes, "I don't allow anyone to choose to end either."

"We didn't choose to end!" Ning Gu was speechless, "You didn't even give a chance to speak, and you didn't listen to what I said!"

"Before the poet came back, I would have believed you," Jiu Yi said, "Now I don't believe anyone."

"What's wrong with you?" Ning Gu said.

"The poet is the part of himself that has been shaken by despair." Lian Chuan said.

Ning Gu frowned, barely understanding: "Can you throw it out again?"

"It can be thrown or it can't be thrown," Lian Chuan said, "We need the help of the strongest Nine Wings."

"Why should I help you?" Nine Wings said.

"Because you are nailed to the wall now." Ning Gu said.

"I can nail the destruction of the world here," Nine Wings said, "and continue living in my head."

"Then try!" Ning Gu said viciously.

Jiuyi didn't speak, and closed his eyes.

"What should I do?" Ning Gu asked Lian Chuan.

"Go to the main city," Lian Chuan said, "Look for the regiment leader, what Jiu Yi said is not a lie, we must be ahead of the scavenger, and we must not be passive."

"Where's Nine Wings?" Ning Gu glanced at Nine Wings who was motionless.

"It's up to him." Lian Chuan turned and walked out of the cave.

"Why can Nine Wings divide itself into two?" Ning Gu followed, and the two walked towards the exit together.

"Maybe a certain Ninggu got inspiration from Ye Xi," Lian Chuan said, "I don't know what kind of bugs can succeed, so I just try everything."

"Now I have to fight myself." Ning Gu sighed.

"Fortunately, he can split the other half of the contradiction," Lian Chuan said, "otherwise we might not have the chance to get to where we are now."

The members of the cleanup team are patrolling around Lost Valley.

When they saw Lian Chuan coming out, the team members all came over and wanted to say something, but in the end they all just patted on the shoulder.

In the final countdown with no direction, no expression has any meaning.

"This is the first time for me to see you clearly at such a close distance." Chunsan looked at Ning Gu.

"sh..." Ning Gu didn't even finish a word before being interrupted by Lian Chuan.

"This is Aunt Chun." Lian Chuan said.

It's Aunt Chun.

What Ning Gu wanted to say was this sentence, but he was sure that Lian Chuan thought he was going to say "handsome".

I don't know why he is such a stupid person in Lian Chuan's eyes.

"Aunt Chun." Ning Gu said.

Chunsan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him: "It's you."

"Huh?" Ning Gu was taken aback.

"Who dares to say that I don't exist..." Chunsan said, "It's your voice."

Li Xiang counted the supplies, mainly food and water. In addition to what they brought, there were also some collected from the ruins of the main city, plus some carried by bats. They stayed here for ten days and a half months. no problem.

Luzhu has not changed much. The team in the main city has surrounded Luzhu tightly. They sent a team of travelers to lurk around the periphery, and will send news back from time to time.

The flickering sunlight didn't change at all, and the frequency was always maintained.

The light and dark are particularly frightening.

What has been changing all the time is the cracks on the Black Iron Wasteland, two of which have cut into the city boundary of the main city.

The area occupied by travelers is a former shopping mall in District C, and there is enough space above and below ground to accommodate E's army of travelers in the warehouse.

Many residents of the main city also entered the shopping mall. These people who used to hide or call the police when they saw travelers, now stay in the same space without incident.

The devil-like traveler, now like the clean-up team, brings them the greatest comfort.

Although travelers do not share food, it is enough to have a safe place to stay.

"The golden light over there," the group leader came over and said in a low voice, "it's not Qihang, it's Ninggu. The travelers in Lost Valley have been identified."

"Already..." Li Xiang was a little surprised, "Is it so strong?"

"Why in the first place," the group leader looked at E, who was standing on the edge of the roof with his back to them, "I didn't want to take him to the ghost town, but because he was the most suitable for storing Qihang fragments Is it? I'm afraid it's not that simple."

E moved and turned around: "He has to leave the main city, that's all I know."

A traveler ran over and leaned into the leader's ear: "Ning Gu is coming this way, together with Lian Chuan."

"Is it safe?" Li Xiang asked in a low voice.

"No one followed them," said the traveler. "Lian Chuan was fast, and no one could follow him."

"Well," the leader nodded and turned to E, "do you want to avoid it or... see you?"

E didn't speak, and walked over to the stairs.

Before taking two steps, two black shadows jumped up from the edge of the roof and landed beside him.

When he turned his head, Ning Gu stood up, then froze.

Probably because they didn't expect to meet like this, E also froze in place.
