Ye Xia is dead? how is this possible!

"I just met Ye Xia in the fantasy world. She, Ning Zhou and I were pulled into the witch's fantasy world and possessed the witch three years ago. All the props and skills could not be used..." Qi Leren said, but was interrupted by Lu Youxin.

"Possessed? That is to say, what you saw was just a person calling herself Ye Xia? As for whether she is or not, how can you be sure?" Lu Youxin tilted her head and looked at him mockingly.

Qi Leren swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but feel a chill behind his back.

Yes, how did he know that the person he saw was really "Ye Xia"? What he saw and talked with, from beginning to end, was just a person calling himself Ye Xia who was attached to an NPC. With his shallow understanding of Ye Xia, he couldn't tell clearly.

"...Why do you have such doubts?" Qi Leren felt that something was wrong, why did Lu Youxin suspect that the "Ye Xia" he met was not herself.

"Of course it's because Ye Xia's body doesn't look like he just died." After Lu Youxin finished speaking, she frowned in confusion and irritability, and looked at the new prompt on the stone wall.

"I'll take a look." Qi Leren said.

"What's so good about dead people." Lu Youxin studied the text on the stone wall with concentration, and said in a cold tone, she couldn't see that she was still chasing Ye Xia not long ago.

"At least know who killed her!"

Lu Youxin turned around and looked at him with a half-smile: "Oh, maybe it's me?"

Qi Leren froze for a moment: "No, it can't be you. If it were you, why did you tell me about her death?"

Lu Youxin tutted: "Then go and see, you will understand after seeing it. But I advise you not to be too serious. Dead people are common in missions. There is no foolproof mission, and there is no player who can only win but not lose. One day I will die, you will die, Ning Zhou will die, everyone will die, this is the fate of our group."

Although Lu Youxin spoke in a relaxed tone, Qi Leren's heart was extremely heavy. Not long after he entered this world, he had already vaguely felt the despair and fear of precariousness: "Is there really no way to leave this game?"

"Who knows, maybe when you die, you will find that you opened your eyes on the bed in your room, everything here is just a nightmare." Lu Youxin shrugged, "Or maybe, when you jump out of the player With this identity, after entering another level, you can become a chess player, which must be wonderful."

"Out of the player's identity?" Qi Leren asked curiously.

"Hmm, so after completing this mission, I will probably try the mission to open the Land of Dawn. I hope everything will be different when I get there." After Lu Youxin finished speaking, she glanced at the stone wall and left the hall.

Qi Leren hesitated for a while, but he was still uneasy, so he decided to go there and have a look. Before leaving, he explained to Sister Ellie that if they saw Isabelle and Ning Zhou come back, let them wait for him here.

The corridor outside the hall was still gloomy and cold, and Qi Leren took a deep breath of the cool, dirty air and walked to the corridor on the right.

He can't tell whether the Ye Xia he met in the fantasy is real or not, but he remembered that Ye Xia said that his original body was slightly injured. At that time, he asked her if she had fought with Xie Wanwan, and she ordered head.

If Ye Xia is real, then she should have met Xie Wanwan again after leaving the illusion, and was killed. If Ye Xia is fake, then who is impersonating Ye Xia, and why did she do it? Is it Xie Wanwan? But there is no evidence...

The thinking became more and more chaotic, and Qi Leren had to put aside the doubts and continue to move towards the corridor on the right.

There was a faint smell of soil and blood intertwined in the air. Qi Leren touched his nose and walked lightly around a corner with his dagger in his hands. In the depths of the corridor ahead, countless vegetation came from the gaps in the wall. Drilling out, it enveloped the surroundings like a green spider web, and in the center of the greenery, Ye Xia, covered in blood, was pierced through the abdominal cavity by the branches, and countless vines and branches hung her in the air, like a hanged man. Corpse!

With a buzzing sound in Qi Leren's mind, he stood there dumbfounded, watching someone he knew die, the feeling was far more shocking than seeing a dead stranger, especially when they chatted not long ago about love This kind of private topic, seeing her unrecognizable death in front of her now, the unbelievable shock lingered in her heart.

Turns out she was really dead.

When Lu Youxin said it, he still didn't associate this fact with Ye Xia. It wasn't until he actually saw Ye Xia's body that he really realized that the mission started with him in the same carriage. Ye Xia is dead.

Before he knew it, his hands and feet became icy cold. Qi Leren took a few deep breaths to calm down a little. Then he climbed on the branch that grew out of the crack, cut off the vines and branches, and put Ye Xia's body down.

Her body was already cold and stiff, she was lying on the ground lifelessly, her eyes widened and she stared blankly in front of her, her unbelievable expression frozen in this moment by death.

Qi Leren glanced at her waist, and the belt and other items had disappeared with her death. She was like an ordinary person, saying goodbye to the world in this dangerous underground palace, and even the murderer was unknown. do not know.

I can't say I don't know, although Lu Youxin didn't say who killed Ye Xia at all, but as long as they saw Ye Xia's death, Qi Le and she both understood.

It was Xie Wanwan, the player who could control bugs and plants.

Qi Leren sat next to Ye Xia and thought. Ye Xia's body did not look like it had just died. The blood had coagulated and the body was stiff. The appearance of a dead person, but it took at most half an hour between leaving the illusion just now and discovering Ye Xia's body. That is to say, the person he met in the dungeon was most likely not Ye Xia himself. Who will it be

It's not Ye Xia, it's not Lu Youxin, a few NPCs are even more impossible, then the only option is Xie Wanwan. Although she has a feud with Ye Xia, she should know something about Ye Xia. I'm afraid it won't be possible to pretend to be Ye Xia in a short time. question.

What was her motive for doing this? At that time, she could completely kill him with one knife.

Oh no, she was also trapped in an illusion at the time and desperately needed to find a way to leave, and he quickly revealed that he knew the clues. It is possible that he saved his life because of this. Although he has no use value after that , but they soon met Ning Zhou...

A feeling of fear pervades Qi Leren's mind. If Ning Zhou hadn't appeared at that time, would he have died

Recalling that when Ning Zhou went to attract the witch, "Ye Xia", who was wiping the long knife, spoke to him in a low voice, and Qi Le people shuddered. At that time, did "Ye Xia" intend to kill the defenseless and defenseless opponent? If it wasn't for Ning Zhou who just led the witch back to end the illusion, would he have become a cold corpse like Ye Xia

When he carefully chewed each frame of memory, he was full of Ning Zhou at the time, and he finally realized the belated fear. She clenched the hand of the knife, wiped the movement of the knife, the strange smile, the inexplicable question, And the murderous intent that the knife on the bed almost pierced his skull, everything became eerie and terrifying, making people shudder.

It turned out that he had brushed past death before he even realized it.

PS: A bite of candy that will not necessarily be written in the future (there is a girl who guessed it, like it), in fact, Leren’s guess about the conditions for being selected into the fantasy world was right at the beginning, which is the “sacrifice” in the witch’s reminder. , "betrayal" and "love", sacrifice corresponds to a happy person, betrayal corresponds to an unknown person, I don't need to say who love corresponds to... hehe.
