"You don't understand human beings at all, so don't think of human beings as too fragile. Sometimes don't talk too much, otherwise it will hurt your face when the time comes... How about we have a fight? How about discussing it?"
"Not negotiable."
When he said this, there was a slight coldness in the words of the voice.
"Those who have perished cannot be restored and can only be destroyed. Death is the best ending."
"Since you chose this role, I think you must be somewhat affected by her memory, right?"
Bai Zhi lowered his head and looked at the other person, frowning slightly.
"Can you just bear to watch her sink in endless pain and despair until her last trace of consciousness is wiped out? How about giving her a chance?"
"That's her wish."
"What?"
Bai Zhi was slightly stunned.
"You think she is escaping, but in fact she is facing it. You think she wants to live, but in fact she just wants to sleep. Everything is her own choice, and you can't change anything. If you want a chance, then Prove it to me."
It seemed that he didn't want to say anything more. The moment the other party said his last words, the whole world came to life again.
The noises, prayers, and curses beside the underground cell... mixed with the rancid smell of the underground cell, once again surrounded his figure.
"..."
Feeling the changes happening around him, Bai Zhi frowned fiercely.
The other party has left, but the conversation did not get the result he wanted.
- His initial guess in his mind was not wrong. The person behind all of this was none other than the book that had swallowed up countless people.
The scores for the stories they had participated in before were all given by the other party.
The so-called players who found a way to save Hitomi through the dungeon are all false. Their real purpose is to completely destroy Hitomi in this endless cycle of despair.
There is only one main reason for letting the other party do this, even at such a big fanfare, and that is that conventional methods can no longer kill Hitomi, and this extreme method can only be adopted.
And what kind of situation, what incredible thing happened to Hitomi, that made her unable to even die
After throwing away all the impossibilities, no matter how incredible the remaining option is, it is absolutely correct.
"...A descendant of the evil god?"
Bai Zhi let out a small breath in his mouth.
He is no stranger to the existence of dependents. It was Qingyi who first introduced this concept to him. Anna herself is a dependent of the Doll Princess.
After a world is destroyed by kaidan, an ultimate kaidan will be born on top of the remains of that world. This was the case with the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] he had seen before.
It's just that the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] does not belong to the evil god. He has developed his own [Doll Princess].
After becoming a dependent, everything about you will no longer belong to you, including your life and soul.
Anna's condition is not bad, [Princess Doll] is still asleep, so she can still have most of her autonomy.
But judging from Hitomi's current situation, which is not willing to use this method to completely kill herself, the existence that favors her is not sleeping like the [Doll Princess].
-Death is insignificant, but some things are far more terrifying and terrible than death.
"That huge black shadow has been targeting Hitomi. Maybe we can find clues about the evil god in it... Access control card, it looks like we have to go to the town center to lie down later."
While having such an idea in his mind, Bai Zhi stepped forward looking at the figure lying on the ground not far away.
It's just a pity that the other party's breathing has stopped. Or maybe the other party just held his breath and died peacefully after hearing the news about Hitomi's safety. Or maybe in the original story, the other party was already dead, and everything was controlled by that book... Who knows? Woolen cloth
After releasing all the people who were still alive in the cells below, Bai Zhi reduced them all to ashes with a fire.
Then, without paying attention to the other people who noticed the movement here and cautiously came forward to see if they could take advantage of it, Bai Zhi turned around and left here.
Behind him, flames lit the sky.
… … … … … … … … …
In the northeast corner of the town, there is a garbage dump full of garbage. Corpses, rats and cockroaches are everywhere here, and the smell is so bad that even the poorest homeless man is not willing to spend the night in such a place.
But when Bai Zhi came here, he found that this place couldn't be called a garbage dump at all. It was more appropriate to call it a garbage mountain.
The garbage piled up into more than a dozen peaks with a height of more than ten meters. It was filthy and full of feces and urine. The weird and nauseating smell could be said to be drilled into the mind, and even the eyes were a little bit smoked. It hurts.
The only ones who can survive in this kind of place are the tenacious cockroaches and the ubiquitous corpse rats... Can humans really survive here
To be honest, Bai Zhi was a little skeptical.
For more than ten years before, Hitomi and her friends had been living in this kind of place and depended on each other.
"I think this place should be suitable for Meng Qi..."
After walking a few steps inside, he stepped into a pool of foul-smelling yellowish substance. Looking at his feet, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel like he had a toothache.
There is no place to stay here at all, the ground is full of mines.
And finally he aimed at a relatively clean foothold. Just as Bai Zhi stepped over, his feet suddenly gave way, and he fell into a pothole about two meters deep. in.
"The trap is pretty well made, but it's a pity that dozens of sharply-sharpened bamboo strips were not inserted underneath..."
Bai Zhi covered his nose with one hand and looked around at the situation, and made a comment in his mouth.
At this time, a slightly nervous voice came from the side.
"who are you!?"
Volume One: The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 616 Chapter 608 Tong and Bai Zhi
Garbage mountain.
"Me? I'm just a passing Kamen Rider."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi answered to the top.
"Your name is Hitomi, right? I brought your friend's information. Can you please let me go first..."
"Where is she now!?"
Before he finished his sentence, Bai Zhi saw a head popping up above the pit and asked him eagerly.
"She didn't come back all day yesterday. I was almost worried to death. She obviously promised to come back at noon!!"
"... Just let me go up first."
Looking at the face of the girl above his head, his eyes flickered slightly for a few times before Bai Zhi spoke.
—He suddenly understood why the other person's name was Hitomi.
Different from the deathly silence he saw in the first copy where the light in the opponent's eyes was all extinguished, looking at Hitomi's eyes at this moment... he felt as if he was seeing stars.
There are stars in your eyes.
A few minutes later, under the leadership of Hitomi, Bai Zhi followed him to a well-hidden "cave" deep in the garbage mountain.
The belly of this garbage mountain was hollowed out and supported by various fragmentary supports. A dozen well-fixed rotten wood supports formed a space inside the garbage table, which can be regarded as a space. A huge cave.
Unlike the mess outside, the inside was kept quite clean and tidy. There were even two pots of plants at the door. A circle of light yellow powder was sprinkled around the interior to drive away the dead rats and cockroaches.
Although the interior layout seems very simple, it clearly exudes a hint of warmth. There are two beds, a square table with broken legs made of bricks, and a half-broken bowl. It is old but has been used. Very clean kettle…
"Xing and I have been building this home together for five years, and now it can be considered completely completed."
Wearing a shabby yellow raincoat that looked like it had been rummaged through a mountain of garbage, walking ahead, Hitomi proudly introduced Bai Zhi.
"In the beginning, there were only countless corpse rats and cockroaches, and those..."
"Is it really okay to trust me so much?"
Stopping at the door, Bai Zhi interrupted Hitomi's words.
"It's just our first meeting. Is it really okay to bring me to your home so generously?"
"No problem, because only Xing knows my name. Since Xing told you my name, it means you can trust me."
After taking off the yellow raincoat and hanging it on the back of the door, Hitomi turned around and spoke to him seriously.
"We will not tell others our names easily. This is the agreement between Xing and me."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi bent down and followed the other person into the cave.
"By the way, can you tell me? Where is Xing now?"
After carefully pouring him a bowl of tea from a broken bowl, and then sitting down at the square table, Hitomi asked him expectantly.
"Before going out yesterday, Xingke said that he would give me a surprise today."
"... Today is your birthday?"
Picking up the bowl on the table and taking a sip of the slightly bitter water, Bai Zhi suddenly asked the other party.
"It's not a birthday, it's an anniversary. We don't have such luxury as birthdays."
Hitomi had a serious look on her face.
"It is an anniversary to commemorate that our home is finally completed and we can welcome every day full of hope in the future."
"…home?"
Bai Zhi once again looked around at this very warmly decorated cave.
Bai Zhi sighed slightly, looked directly into the eyes of the girl in front of him, and spoke slowly.
"Although some things are hard to say, you have to learn to accept them after all. I did bring it back..."
"Wait, wait, I'll help you pour a bowl of tea..."
As if she had realized something, Hitomi's face turned pale little by little as she listened to his words.
Before he could finish his sentence, the other party interrupted him and at the same time reached out his hand to the tea cup in front of him in a panic, as if this could change something.
-Bai Zhi grabbed the other party's hand.
"Escape can't solve problems, you have to learn to face them."
Bai Zhi looked directly into the other person's eyes.
"Yes, she died, but I also avenged her. That's why I know your name."
"..."
After saying this, Bai Zhi saw the light in the other person's eyes dim in an instant.
"Although it is difficult for you to accept it, you have to face it."
Bai Zhi let go of the other party's hand and spoke calmly.
"some things… "
"... Get out, you've never been here before."
The girl dug her nails into the flesh and spoke in a low voice.
"you… "
"go out!!!"
"There is hope only when you are alive, and death is meaningless. I hope you can understand this."
With a slight sigh in his heart, Bai Zhi stood up from the table before the other party grabbed the broken bowl on the table and threw it at him.
"I'll come over and see you later."
After saying this, Bai Zhi turned around and left the cave.
—Inside the cave, there was deathly silence.
… … … … … … … … …
"Sure enough, this kind of thing still doesn't suit me..."
Without stopping too much at the garbage mountain, Bai Zhi walked straight towards the market after leaving there.
Although he wanted to take the other party away from that dirty place, after seeing the home that they had carefully decorated, Bai Zhi gave up this idea in his heart.
"Protective clothing, oxygen bottles... I don't need these, but Hitomi must carry these things. Is it a black market?"
There are still three days until the fog reaches the city. Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, he still has three days to prepare.
