After a few short sentences of explanation, Ji Heng looked at him with a soft expression, "Thank you."
Looking at each other, his eyes gradually shifted from Sur to the Book of Reincarnation.
The hand holding the book was a little hot, and Sur realized that there were more urgent things to do now.
Ji Heng: "Don't be in a hurry, helper is coming."
He turned his head, and at about the same time, the door was slammed open. The crying child had a limited use time, and the sound of the rag doll's crying was covered by the cracking sound of the wooden board. Without interference, the pity in the eyes of the blond demon gradually dissipated, and the whole body exuded a violent breath.
"You... dammit."
At the critical moment, Ji Heng said indifferently what seemed to be urgent: "It's just in time! Come and help."
Ye Xiaocen's face sank suddenly.
Over there, Sur deliberately shook the book of reincarnation in his hand. Ye Xiaocen clenched his fists slightly, making sure that he was the first to get there. Then he looked at the demon who escaped from the formation with more than half of his body, and finally went out of control and ruthlessly gouged out Chen Bu. abandoned. If he hadn't been tricked into going to the bamboo house by this person, he would have had the opportunity to get the book of reincarnation.
Chen Buqi didn't know whether it was numbness or calmness, and he said with no expression: "Stop the devil first."
Anyway, anyone who is not strong can step on him and simply speak more directly.
After being played by a fool, Zhou Que, who had endured it for a long time, said in a bad tone, "They take the benefits, so why should we contribute?"
Chen Buqi didn't bother to respond to such stupid remarks. In comparison, Ye Xiaocen was sullen and sullen, and his reason was still there. Before the demon came out, he didn't burn the book of reincarnation according to the mission requirements, I'm afraid everyone has to explain it here.
As for Sur already starting to set fire to the book at this time, the power of a match is too weak. Ji Heng cut off a leg of the table, wrapped the tablecloth and made a makeshift torch and handed it to him.
The strength of the devil is unknown, but no one chose to attack with melee, and even Ji Heng did not dare to ask for it, and hurriedly stepped forward to start a contest with a dagger.
The quest only mentions burning the Book of Reincarnation, and does not mention dealing with demons, which is enough to show that the power of demons is not something that players can contend with.
Ji Heng threw a dozen talisman papers successively, and the effect was mediocre. Taking advantage of the demon's distraction, Ye Xiaocen whistled, and a delicate mechanical bird flew over, spitting out a string of small steel balls that would explode. A few bounced into the shoulder blades, burning a small hole.
"It's useful!" Zhou Que's eyes were bright, and he secretly said that his own captain was really powerful.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the devil squeezed lightly, no matter how fast the mechanical bird was, it couldn't escape his palm. With a click, the parts fell apart, and the mechanical bird let out an unwilling cry and turned into a pool of molten steel.
The blond demon stared at his fingertips for two seconds before sneering, "Useless toy."
"It's coming out soon!" Seeing that the demon was only below his ankles still in the formation, Chen Buqi hurriedly went to see Sur, only to find that the book was only half burnt, and his eyes suddenly showed despair.
Sur was still calm, and the situation did not allow him to worry, so he could only burn books patiently, explaining by the way: "These are not ordinary papers."
Ordinary books want to be damaged in less than half a minute. The book of reincarnation is still very slow to burn with torches, and as soon as it leaves the fire, the flames on the pages will immediately go out and stop burning.
Ji Heng glanced at Zhou Que, who was basically useless: "Go and help him."
Zhou Que couldn't carry it clearly, and was a little reluctant.
"Go away!" Ye Xiaocen ordered in a rare stern order when he saw his manner.
Zhou Que shivered all over, and hurried over to help burn the book.
Su Er raised his eyebrows. No wonder Ji Heng, who was basically stubborn, just asked Chen Buqi to take Ye Xiaocen away instead of directly killing him. This person was still useful at critical times.
I took time to look at the statue. I used it as a hidden weapon to smash the demon before. After it played a delaying role, the statue was bounced back to a dead corner. If I wanted to use it again, I had to take the risk of bypassing the demon. , think about it can only give up.
"Fuck!" After lighting a few matches, Zhou Que unexpectedly saw the scene ahead, and suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Come out!"
The demon who was completely free smiled and looked at the players present as if looking at an ant.
His long golden hair fluttered in mid-air. He wanted to hang a nearby object, but Ji Heng hid quickly, and the bookshelf behind him was affected and shattered.
The situation changed, and everyone invariably changed their focus from attacking to using self-defense props first. Sur used the last coal face to meet people, and Zhou Que also pinched the defective product from the old woman. As for the situation of Ji Heng and others, their sight was blocked by the fluttering golden hair, and Suer squinted his eyes, unable to see clearly.
A scream came, and it sounded like Chen Buqi.
There was a rain of blood in the air, and one arm flew to Sur in front of him. After landing, he bounced abruptly. He said softly, "Go on."
Chen Buqi desperately crawled to the corner clutching his wound, and said weakly, "TOEFL, he's still alive."
Only the last third of the Book of Reincarnation remains.
The demon's attack became more and more intense, and in the end it was almost indiscriminate. Ji Heng and Ye Xiaocen joined forces at all costs to approach him around the formation, limiting the area of activity.
Seeing this, Sur felt a little relieved, and suddenly realized that too much in the past is not a good thing. The Book of Reincarnation that belongs to him is obviously a little thicker.
A strand of hair floated over without warning, and Sur came to his senses. When he was dodging, he was scratched and a piece of flesh was missing from his arm. Blood splattered on the torch, the flame dimmed for a moment, and the torch's light was much weaker when it was re-burned.
Taking a deep breath, Sur tried to relieve the pain by adjusting his breathing. After feeling a little better, he stretched his arms reluctantly, reached towards the nearest side, and pulled off the sofa cushion as a new round of combustion support.
"How long?"
Ji Heng didn't know when he appeared at the nearest location.
Sur looked at the charred bookcase and the slowly disappearing paper, and said helplessly, "About three minutes."
Before he finished speaking, a few strands of hair shot towards him like arrows.
Ji Heng blocked in front of him and slashed like lightning.
The demon has also learned to be smart, no longer attacking the player, but concentrates all the output around the book of reincarnation. Sur and Zhou Que's force values are very average, even if Ji Heng is blocking them, they have suffered a few secret losses.
hurry up! Hurry up!
Sur's arms were covered in blood, and all his attention was focused on the book of reincarnation. It took longer than he expected, and when the last page was burned, the speed was extremely slow. To use an analogy, it is like watching a video when the buffer is loaded to 99%, and the small circle keeps turning, but it is only a little bit short of the last.
The time period for seeing the face of the coal face has completely passed, and Sur clenched the pendant that could resist the attack of the ghost, not sure if he could withstand this wave of attacks.
"I found you." The devil's whispered voice drifted to his ears, and at the same time, there was awe-inspiring killing intent.
I saw that his slender fingers were slightly bent, and the light group was wrapped in the palm of his hand, and it was still expanding.
Ji Heng walked away at the critical moment and gave Ye Xiaocen a gesture to attract the devil's attention.
The latter is naturally unwilling to do such a dangerous thing.
Ji Heng whispered: "Five seconds."
Ye Xiaocen agreed in the end, and there was no third way in front of him. Even if Sur died, another person to burn the book would only take a greater risk of death.
The moment he made his move, Ji Heng went around behind the demon, even though the flesh on his back was scratched by the golden hair, he didn't show the slightest sluggishness. Ye Xiaocen thought he was trying to sneak a backstab, even the devil thought so, sneering and waiting for the useless attack to hit him. At the critical moment, Ji Heng actually put away the attacking posture, used the speed-up prop to appear beside the statue, and quickly raised it and smashed it towards the devil.
statue:"???"
The devil waved his hand at will, like watching a clown.
The distance between the two sides is too close, and it is too late to change the direction of the parabola, unless the space moves to another place, but this means that the identity will be exposed.
While the statue was still thinking, this random blow landed on the side of the cheek, and he was slapped and slapped out.
"… "
He wants to kill this demon who dares to slap him in the face!
"It's burnt!" The surprise voice was on the verge of screaming at an octave, attracting everyone's attention at once.
Sur's eyelids jumped: "What are you talking about?"
Speaking decisively, he was a few meters away from Zhou Que.
This was a wise decision. The demon's attention was refocused on this side because of the sound. If he didn't hold back, the devastating light group came over.
After the player completes the task, once the death is caused by not being teleported in time, the rules will strictly pursue the responsibility of the host afterwards. The statue regained its sanity, no longer caring about the indignation of being slapped in the face, blocking the attack of the light group and quickly teleporting.
Zhou Que thought he was dead, raised his arms to block in front of him, and closed his eyes tightly. He didn't expect that what was waiting was not pain, but that his body was dissolved little by little.
send
With a burst of ecstasy, Zhou Que screamed: "The mission is complete! Heaven will not kill me!"
Enraged by the harsh voice, the demon pulled out a strand of hair and slid into the space where it was teleported, directly disrupting Zhou Que's hands and feet. This was only when Ye Xiaocen had used him a body protector, otherwise it would have been impossible. Gotta be the brain.
Sur shook his head, deeply suspecting that the other party was the reincarnation of a stupid screaming chicken.
The figure of the demon in front of him gradually blurred, perhaps it was his illusion, and he felt that the strong killing intent from the statue far surpassed that of the demon.
At the end of the teleportation, there are countless fragments of light and shadow around. The people in the fragments are wearing various clothes and doing different things. Sur feels like he is standing in front of the intensive surveillance, peeping into the world of others.
It's not a transfer station, which is inevitably disturbing. Fortunately, Ji Heng was by his side, and Su Er opened his mouth, but he was worried about another thing.
"There is no intersection with the host this time, will there be no achievement points?"
Ji Heng glanced at him and said nothing.
Soon, Sur found that the worry was unnecessary, and the familiar thunder sounded in the sky, but there were no ordinary players around as spectators, and the game was more like speaking in a narrative tone:
[Congratulations to player Sur for getting the achievement point 'Abominable Merchant'. ]
[Congratulations to player Sur for getting the achievement point 'Skinning Master'. ]
[Congratulations to player Sur for getting the achievement point 'Gods and Ghosts'. ]
From notorious to god-hating, what does it mean? Show that you are making progress.
Thinking of this, Sur raised his eyebrows and counted his fingers again. He was only short of the last two achievement points.
I don't know if the game thinks the same way. Facing the players who came in in the second week, the dark clouds that have not dissipated once again gathered, and the thunder sounded, and the last two achievement points were awarded:
[Congratulations to player Sur for getting the achievement point 'Heaven has a way, you don't go'. ]
[Congratulations to player Sur for getting the achievement point 'There is no way to hell'. ]
Sur keenly noticed that Ji Heng's badge flashed at this moment.
Ji Heng: "The game makes up for my poor points."
The points settled are several times higher than the normal dungeons. According to normal circumstances, he would have to make two or three more dungeons to make up the 10,000 points for leaving.
Click when the broadcast is complete, and the game's voice is cold again: "Don't come again."
"… "
No subject was added, but Suer somehow felt that the sentence was only aimed at individuals.
Before being thrown out, he hurriedly asked, "What is the meaning of the existence of the game?"
The air was quiet for a moment, before the voice responded, "Create a relatively perfect world and make it real."
The world is virtual, but the players who live in it are real people. Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. These players have to pay the price for breaking out of the living environment they have always wanted to get rid of.
"I need to constantly check human nature and collect data to improve the virtual world. This is the highest order left in the creation of my existence."
Who created the game
Sur wanted to ask this question, but subconsciously knew that even if he asked, there would be no answer.
"Let's go."
The game really is not in the mood to pay too much attention to him.
The surrounding light and shadow fragments become illusory, and everything presented inside is real... That's what's happening at the moment. And those people didn't know that their lives were being recorded every minute and every second. Before they disappeared completely, the last words of the game came from their ears:
"Other players won't remember the intersection with you in the game, and you also can't take the initiative to clamber."
The whole body was engulfed in darkness, Su Er and Ji Heng looked at each other and watched as the badge automatically detached from the body and merged into the darkness.
There were a few dog barks in the distance, and the dizziness ended. Sur lowered his head and stared at the tile for a few seconds, confirming that he had returned. The sound of the children chasing and frolic downstairs is so loud that even if you live on the upper floors, you can hear it.
Familiar world, familiar everything.
"I'm back." The emotion contained in this sigh was too complicated.
Ji Heng smiled: "We are back."
Sur was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled: "Yes, we are back."
They did not forget each other and returned safely and alive.
·
Although some things have long been tacit, but due to the college entrance examination this year, Su Er only moved to Ji Heng's house temporarily, and the further relationship did not develop. Life returned to the right track, and he also started the life that a normal high school student should have.
As the game says, except for each other, all the intersections in the game have been wiped out. For example, in Yao Zhi's eyes, Suer was simply a student, and even Zhao Sanliang, who had been in close contact with him in the past, had never met him again.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, Suer suddenly felt cold in his sleep and reached out to pull the quilt, but his arm seemed to be frozen. He sucked in his cold red nose, reluctantly opened his eyes, and in front of him was a pale, slightly swollen face.
It's been a long time since I faced this kind of scene, Su Er groaned in his heart, and brushed away the long, sticky black hair that was like algae hanging around his ears: "... Zhu Yun?"
A pair of hands caught off guard against the weak neck, and Sur breathed hard, trying to break the other's fingers.
"Feel sorry."
After becoming a ghost, in the face of humans, Zhu Yun was completely unable to restrain her instinct to kill.
The shocker disappeared automatically from the moment she left the game. While struggling in pain, Sur couldn't help but wonder how she came to the real world.
I don't know how long it took, the hand that was tightly stuck on the neck loosened a little, and Zhu Yun stared at him with her eyes that lost the focus of her pupils. After a while, she forced a few words out of her throat: "Sur..."
Calling his name coldly, Zhu Yun said with a stiff face, "I wish you... I wish you a good university."
A sentence was completely emotionless, but Sur was inexplicably uncomfortable.
The chest that didn't rise and fall, the eyes that didn't look bright, and the extremely cold hands that were pinching their throats, all of them no longer emphasized that their tablemates were really dead, turned into water ghosts, and stayed in the game world forever.
At this time, Zhu Yun finally let go and disappeared in front of his eyes.
When he was awake, he was in a cold sweat, and the depression in Suer's heart had not completely dissipated.
Ji Heng turned on the night light and handed him a glass of warm water: "Have you had a nightmare?"
Sur touched his neck, his throat seemed to be injured, and he felt a burning sensation, and said slowly, "I dreamed of Zhu Yun."
Ji Heng said 'oh', as if not surprised.
Sur held the cup in both hands, bowed his head and said, "She said let me get into a good university."
Ji Heng helped wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a soothing tone, "Go to sleep, you will pass the test."
After experiencing a strange dream, Sur's sleep was not affected in the second half of the night, and he was awakened by the alarm when he opened his eyes again. After eating a nutritious and hearty breakfast, Ji Heng drove him to the exam room. Since the first subject was Chinese, which was a subject that Sur was good at, he performed stably throughout the process.
After successfully answering the question to the end, only the writing is left. This year's proposition is very clear, and the theme of the article is directly given - the miracle of life. Listening to the rustling sound of writing in the examination room, Sur was silent for a moment, then picked up the pen and wrote:
There are hibiscus in autumn, and winter plum blossoms. The real blooming has nothing to do with the solar terms;
In a hundred years of life, the world is dejected, and there are many adventures for brave young people;
I have walked through the rotation of the four seasons and seen the alternation of the sun and the moon, but I have not waited for my own miracle. Then the flowers bloomed and I grew up, awkwardly opening my arms to protect the people around me. It was at that moment that I realized that rather than longing for a miracle, it is better to be a miracle itself.
