"I should say 'I'm sorry' to you, but I don't think you want to hear some boring comfort." Su He took a sip of the black tea, put down the beautiful white porcelain teacup and said.
Qi Leren supported his profile, looked at the boundless blue sky outside the tower, and hummed.
"Actually... I don't quite understand it." Su He's voice called Qi Leren's attention, he frowned slightly, showing a confused look, "In my opinion, there is no essential difference between males and females. For human beings, spirituality is the same, all attractive qualities, all good qualities will not be different because the other person is male or female."
Su He smiled and looked into Qi Leren's eyes and said seriously: "If I will fall in love with you as a woman, I will definitely fall in love with you as a man, because you have the same soul, and this is a gender difference. indelible."
Su He's speech was slow and his voice was gentle, and Qi Leren, who was staring at him, even had an illusion that he was special to Su He. This realization made him a little uneasy, and he immediately expressed an objection: "It's still not the same... There is an inherent attraction between men and women, even if they don't have good feelings, they can't help but pay special attention... "
"Are you trying to talk about sexual attraction?" Su He asked with a smile.
"Ah?" Qi Leren was a little stunned.
Su He rested his cheeks with one hand, looked at him leisurely, and smiled a bit inscrutable: "It depends on the skills. All kinds of... skills."
Qi Leren felt as if he understood something, but he would rather not understand anything. He coughed twice: "We went too far."
"Ah, because the flow of time in the realm is very different from the outside world, I forgot I was still on the mission before I knew it, and it was really pleasant to chat with you... Let's get down to business." Su He did it straight and crossed his hands. Put it on the table and ask solemnly, "Do you want to get rid of that thing on the back of your neck?"
Get rid of the Seed of Killing? Qi Leren raised his head in amazement and looked at Su He blankly, as if he didn't understand for a while.
"You heard that right, I said before that I still have some research on the power of demons. I guess the demon brand on your body should be the Seed of Slaughter. This thing can indeed enhance a person's combat power in a short period of time, but it It will gradually erode people's sanity, and you will find it more and more difficult to control it, until one day...you become its slave completely."
The warm morning sun fell on the tower, and they were on the terrace under the circular dome supported by four pillars at the top of the tower. The air was ventilated on all sides, and only a half-person-high fence surrounded the terrace. The Land of Dawn in Suhe Domain is sunny and breezy, but Qi Le people's mood is unspeakably heavy.
He wanted to agree immediately, and agreed without hesitation, so that he could get rid of this dangerous time bomb immediately, but he always remembered his contract with the courthouse. To break the contract? Should he do this
"How to get rid of it?" Qi Leren asked sternly.
"It's a bit complicated to say, you need to go to a very far place. If you want, after this mission is over, I'll take you away. I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to Twilight Land for a while." Su He's proposal was full of temptations Li, "There are many, many unknown places in this nightmare world, there are all kinds of wonderful things, and naturally there are ways to remove the demon's brand... I can't be 100% sure, but there is still a 70-80% certainty, even if If it doesn't work, I'll help you think of other ways, in short, I won't watch you go to a dead end."
- I won't watch you go to a dead end. Qi Leren's heart throbbed like a spasm, and there was a bit of wetness in his eyes. He didn't tell anyone, and he didn't dare to tell anyone how helpless he had always been, constantly injured, constantly dying, resigned to fate, the road ahead was slim, he had no certainty about the future, and no one could share what he had endured. Stress is not only about his own life and death, but also about the fate of this nightmare game.
He was very afraid, afraid that he would die suddenly one day and would never be able to wake up again, and then this heavy secret would follow him to sleep in this world, along with the hope of redemption that no one knew about.
For a moment, he wanted to tell everything and tell Su He the secret of "Nightmare Game". He is much stronger than him. Maybe he has a way to solve it easily and save the world.
But the moment his lips moved, the line of blood in the drawer reappeared in his mind - keep this a secret. The words that had come to his lips were choked again, and swallowed back together with the saliva.
Qi Leren closed his eyes, and for a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you. But... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll betray your kindness."
He had to refuse, and if he didn't, sooner or later he couldn't help but say everything.
Su Hewei's inaudible sigh came from the wind: "Is that so? I understand."
"I'm really sorry." Qi Leren apologized again.
Su He shook his head: "I know, you must have your reasons. If you need my help one day in the future, you can contact me as much as you can, and I will help you find a way."
Qi Leren nodded silently, and his inner doubts came up again: "But why..."
Why help him
Su He's calm expression finally revealed a hint of confusion and melancholy: "I don't know either. People are always faced with many, many choices in life, and sometimes, you don't even know why you do this. Like this time, I understand why I came here, the system will not make the same mistake twice. Assuming that the last time was because the murderer disturbed the order of the novice village, what about this time? This time, the system issued False alarm?"
Qi Leren's nerves suddenly tense, and cold sweat drips down from behind. How could he forget that Su He was not here to catch up with him! Under that gentle appearance, his keen observation had already seen through him. How many things did he discover
"I..." Qi Leren tried to say something, but Su He gently put his index finger on his lips to stop his words.
"Don't say it." Su He said.
"But why..." Qi Leren really couldn't understand Su He.
"Don't ask." Su He said again.
"… "
"The moment I made the choice, it wasn't your business anymore. Now it's a secret for both of us, but if you say it now, I can't keep it for you. Don't ask me why , I said, many times, people always make choices that they don't understand." Su He laughed at himself, "But since you have made a choice, you will never regret it."
Qi Leren's heart was blocked, and the urge to talk about everything appeared again, but he still couldn't say it.
Keep promises and keep secrets, even with lies.
"I... I still have some questions... About this mission, there seems to be something involving demon beliefs." Qi Leren forced himself to divert his attention, and took the time to ask Su He, who had studied it quite a bit.
Su He listened to him seriously, even if the two had just had a regretful conversation, even if his kindness was rejected, his tolerance and cultivation made him not show any negative emotions, and he was as calm as ever.
It was not until Qi Leren finished the battle with Madame Madam and told the story of how he lost control and killed Madame Madame in the Seed of Slaughter, Su He said, "Dr. Lu also told me about this mission before. , you found something very interesting."
"How to say?"
"In the past few years, many players have discovered that demon power has also appeared in the dungeon world outside the main world, but it is not clear why the demon in the main world interfered with the generation of the dungeon world, but its existence has been very Generally speaking, the system will not report an error to this kind of contaminated copy, nor will it purify the copy. There will be some unusual changes in these contaminated copy worlds, at least the difficulty will be improved to varying degrees, which leads to Many players have encountered dungeons that surpassed their own strength, resulting in accidental deaths." Su He explained.
"..." Well, it seems that the difficulty of playing the D-level difficulty is not all related to his luck, and Qi Leren is slightly relieved.
"However, you still made a lot of mistakes during the boss battle. Otherwise, you could solve this crazy lady more easily. Of course, it is also possible that I looked at the problem from your narrative point of view, but fell into a misunderstanding of thinking." Su He said and smiled apologetically, as if a little embarrassed to point out his mistake, "Do you want to hear it?"
"Of course!" Qi Leren said without hesitation.
"The first is about the shadow that is entangling you. The first time it occurs when you climb down with your lighting phone in your mouth, and the second time after the candle in the basement lights up, but after your explosion causes a large Part of the candle goes out, when you're in the dark, it's gone, the third time the candle that went out after the howl of the Mad Lady lights up again, but this time the shadow can't hurt you, who is being controlled by the Killing Seed. Apparently , this shadow appears because of the appearance of the light source, so in this battle, the light source you carry should not face you, including those candles, it is best to extinguish them. Considering that this is a double copy, the two players should Collaboration, but you went down alone, making the situation you face more dangerous when you are isolated and helpless, this is the first mistake." Su He calmly said his analysis.
Qi Le's people were full of energy, yes, the shadow that made him frightened and disturbed was actually not difficult to deal with, but in a critical moment, he couldn't think about such a problem calmly.
"Second point, you were completely head-to-head against Madam Madame, but do you remember? You said that at first she was holding a rag doll and carefully placed it on the rocking chair. After you grabbed the doll, it seemed to be a reactive living thing. I am afraid this rag doll is not simple. It is connected to the clue of the miscarriage of the mad lady. This rag doll should be her weakness. If you go straight to the rag doll at the beginning, it will be If it kills, maybe the battle will end sooner. The other is the sacrifice of the devil, I think these things are not just to reveal the truth of the year to the players, but can have an impact on the BOSS, but you didn't bring any of them , they are all placed with Dr. Lu."
Qi Leren nodded solemnly.
"The last point, it's not the boss's mistake during the war." Su He laughed suddenly, his handsome eyebrows were tender in the glow, "You actually slammed your head into the wall and forced yourself to wake up from the control of the Seed of Slaughter. ."
Qi Leren touched his forehead and smiled bitterly: "I can't help it..."
"But I think you still have a choice." Su He smiled.
"What?" Qi Leren's voice just fell, and a thought flashed in his brain like lightning.
"I remember that you saved a file before being controlled by the Seed of Slaughter, if the save time allows..." Su He's voice lowered, and finally turned into a faint sigh, "I'm not sure about the principle of your skills, but it is possible to kill The seed will also 'degenerate' back to the state at the moment of the save because of your file reading. For you now, one less outbreak of it means you can live a while longer. Is reading the file more harmful, or killing The danger of the seed is great, you can consider it yourself."
Qi Leren opened his mouth, he couldn't say whether it was a surprise or helplessness. He still had to rely on SL skills to survive. Su He's guess should be correct. The Seed should also return to the state of the archive with his death, but only if he can grasp the brief clarity, otherwise he will fall under the control of the Killing Seed.
Su He stood up, walked slowly behind him, and said warmly, "Bow your head, let me see how it goes."
Qi Leren lowered his head, the back collar of his clothes was gently pulled open, and the cool air poured into his neck, making people shiver. Su He's fingers touched the tingling spot from time to time, and it was a little cold and itchy.
"The spread of the Seed of Slaughter is usually done through specific rituals, but I believe you won't be willing to degenerate to seek help from the followers of the Slaughter Devil, so it was an accidental infection?" Su He asked, standing behind him.
"Well." Qi Leren briefly explained the accident that happened on the spacecraft.
"It's growing faster than normal in such a short period of time." Su He sighed, tidied up the pulled collar for him, and returned to his seat, "It's almost time to leave, let's go. ."
Qi Leren clutched the back of his neck and nodded silently.
The world of the Land of Dawn in the realm began to darken, and in the blink of an eye, they had returned to the castle.
