At this moment, Kou Dong felt that he had reached an unexpected pinnacle of life.
—He, a person who doesn't even have a boyfriend/girlfriend in reality, only opened his first peach blossom at the end of his twenty-three years old, which has not yet fully borne fruit.
I was caught off guard and became the father of hundreds of children.
Q: What was your first reaction when you saw a large group of children stumbling towards you
Answer: run.
Kou Dong didn't even look back, and tried to run out of the cave without saying a word.
joke! This large group is not his!
And it's not human at first sight!
What is he staying for
Is it just a pacifier that is not enough at all, left to be snatched by this group of sudden children
His legs are also considered long, and he walked quite fast, and he reached the cave entrance in a few seconds. However, these strange children were faster than him. They obviously had short legs like lotus joints, and there were a few joints on them, but they walked quite quickly. Before Kou Dong ran out of the cave, his feet suddenly felt cold, a child hugged his feet, and smiled at him with his face raised.
Kou Dong: "..."
He swallowed, and tried to pull his feet out of its embrace, but it was useless to move them twice—they were all so powerful that it was completely unscientific, and they were able to pull him, an adult, staggering slightly.
Could it be that they all grew up eating gold trash
Kou Dong felt despair from the bottom of his heart, so he had no choice but to try to reason with it: "Can you let go?"
The child didn't answer.
Its eyes are huge, and the two black eyes are misty. If you look closely, you will find that there are no pupils that ordinary people should have—
It was a piece of pure black, matched with the innocent face of a child, it would even make people creepy after a long time.
Its hands were still wrapped around the young man's calf, and its head was raised.
"Relax," Kou Dong's voice became softer, "Hey - if you are obedient, brother will give you sweets."
This is nonsense, his pockets are empty, there is no sugar at all, just a pacifier with no sweet taste at all. Dirty adult lies are never drafted.
I don't know if the child understands or not, but the strength is really relaxed. Kou Dong was about to pull his legs out immediately, but the child's reaction was faster than him, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he hugged him tightly again without saying a word.
It can't speak either, it can only frown, open its mouth, and let out a few anxious cries.
Kou Dong: "..."
If you have something to say, don't cry!
He quickly squatted down, trying to appease this one, desperately recalling the content of coaxing children he had seen in TV dramas, and repeatedly patted it on the back with his hands awkwardly.
But there is not a very important thing filmed in the TV series.
— Crying is as contagious as laughter.
If he knew this, Old Kou's father would definitely regret that he made a child cry.
At first, it was just a grin, like some terrible virus, but in a blink of an eye it spread into two, three, five, and then a group. When hundreds of children opened their mouths and wailed collectively, Kou Dong finally understood the difficulty of the kindergarten teachers—he would believe that the voice was the sound of a monster piercing his ears.
He kind of knew how postpartum depression came about. The boundless sea of crying makes him depressed too.
Kou Dong was forced to stay where he was, and a group of children who had just landed desperately hugged his legs and crawled on top of him, those who pulled his clothes hem, those who pulled his arm pulled his arm, and he was caught by them in an instant. Drowning in the ocean, I could only frantically try to hug a few, fished one and dropped the other, hugged one another and pulled his cuffs, and finally could only hold two or three in my arms with difficulty, and coaxed them desperately.
His footsteps stopped in the cave, and because of their pull, he had to take a few steps back, turning his back to the cave entrance.
footsteps.
It is hidden in the cries of children, not very conspicuous. Someone was slowly approaching from the snow outside with a broad ax in hand.
The cold light and the snow light melt together.
The children's cries suddenly stopped, and their dark pupils stared out of the cave, falling into a strange silence.
click.
click.
"..."
In this silence, the sounds outside gradually became clearer. The big boat-like feet stepped on the snow, trampling the soft snowflakes relentlessly, howling and creaking.
Breathing heavily.
The man held a huge ax in his hand and looked around. If he ran out just now, he would be found in such snow immediately, and there was no place to hide.
These kids weren't trying to hold him back.
— to save him.
This idea gradually became clear in Kou Dong's mind. He hugged the two children in his arms, and quietly stepped back—
The snow was empty and there was no trace of people.
The tip of the ax dragged on the ground for a long time, slowly approaching the cave. Those eyes patrolled the entrance of the cave not far away, as if they had found something, they walked towards him again.
It's footprints.
Kou Dong touched the bow and arrow in the luggage rack, and held it tightly. Without Ye Yanzhi, he didn't know whether the arrow could actually hit it; they used the remaining points from the rewards to repair the arrow before entering the instance, but the success rate was only 40%.
He listened nervously to the sound, trying to curl himself up in the darkness behind the tree.
near.
The ax had already been picked up, it was full of rust, and it was mottled like brown blood that hadn't been wiped off. I don't know how many layers it was splashed, and it almost became a muddy shell.
Kou Dong saw his smirk clearly, his arms were raised high, strong and powerful. One of them is in front of the tree and the other is behind the tree. The shadows cast by the dense branches and leaves were somewhat covered, and Kou Dong was caged in the shadow of the tree.
Only one probe remains.
As long as the man with the ax sticks his head out from the side, he will find him—
The child's little hands suddenly pushed him down forcefully, one at first, and then countless—these hands pressed hard on the top of his head, using ten to ten percent of their strength. Kou Dong was like a bamboo shoot, his feet gradually sank into the hard ground, his limbs became stiff, and he couldn't move for a moment. He only felt that the things in front of him were shortening rapidly, as if they were touching the ground.
At the same time, the figures of the children beside him also quickly shrunk down, turning into fruits with five sense organs again. They swayed slightly on the ground, bumping the fruit in the middle back without any trace.
"Hide it!"
Kou Dong heard the thin voice, the immature voice of a child.
The fruit seemed to be speaking to him.
He seems to understand.
…
What is he then
"Hide it..."
A thin voice urged him.
"He's coming!"
"He wants to see you!"
A head with black hair smiled strangely, leaned over, and the corners of the bright red mouth curled up.
The figure of a man appeared above them.
The smell was very strong, but it was difficult for people to describe what kind of smell it was; it made Kou Dong inexplicably think of those old people who could not move.
This is what they smell like when they are lying on the bed, unable to take care of themselves, and waiting to die with half-open eyes.
— the taste of being surrounded by death.
He guessed that he should have become a fruit now, and it was incredible that he could smell the smell.
The man carrying the ax didn't leave. He stared down at the fruits all over the ground, and then dropped the ax suddenly, and chopped it down.
Kou Dong didn't even have time to dodge, the fruit in front of him withstood the blow for him. They are safe and sound, but the facial features on the surface are wrinkled, obviously not without pain.
This time the slash was useless.
The man struck again and again several times, punching out several holes in the ground.
However, these people were still motionless, his attack was in vain, and he could only pant heavily like a trapped animal, pacing heavily in front of him. After a while, he lowered his body and pinched the fruits one by one.
The fruits trembled in his hands, struggling desperately, and he was helpless for a while. Watching them trembling, Kou Dong vaguely realized that he could not be pulled out of the ground.
He shouldn't be able to withstand such an attack.
He didn't dare to move casually on the ground, for fear of attracting attention. But the man's hand had already squeezed many fruits one by one, and finally reached out to him, and pulled him up with force—
The child's cry suddenly became louder again. The voice was so loud and harsh that the man carrying the ax couldn't help but frown. At the same time, another fruit suddenly jumped up and landed heavily on his feet.
The man curled up in pain, let go of his hand, and turned to grab the fruits that were scurrying all over the ground.
"Run!"
The child's voice urged Kou Dong.
"Run!"
Kou Dong was caught in the fruit running around, with no hands or feet, he could only rely on the strength of his waist to lift himself up and jump forward with difficulty. He staggered and nearly stuck his head in the soil.
He dodged the man's outstretched palm and the falling axe, lost his footing a few times, and bumped into him with the fruit beside him.
Thanks to their help, Kou Dong was not caught until the end. Suddenly there was a thunderbolt outside, and the scene in front of him split apart quickly, leaving only those fruits. They also pulled out their bodies, turned into children again, and stretched out their hands trying to hug him.
It's just a moment. In front of Kou Dong's eyes was an extra piece of talisman paper, the handwriting on it was quite immature and crooked, it looked like a messy code drawn by a child carelessly.
There are a few lines written in cinnabar on the back.
"Look straight at him;
Light a fire and hide it in your hand.
The yellow talisman burned up in a blink of an eye,
One becomes nine, nine becomes one—
He will carry your order! "
Kou Dong understood, this is a talisman of exchange order.
He stretched out his recovered limbs, stuffed them into his clothes, and strode out of the cracked scene. After he walked out, other figures appeared in front of him, they appeared at the same time as Kou Dong.
Song Hong was panting, one hand was still touching the back of his head, and his expression was rarely flustered.
A Xue also had an ugly face, and after she came out, she leaned against the wall to rest, and it took a long time to scratch Yin Qi who was staggering towards the corner with her eyes.
"Is this vomiting?"
Yin Qi didn't turn his head, and vomited in the corner of the wall.
Only Ye Yanzhi and Kou Dong looked normal, and after they calmed down, they briefly talked about what they had seen and heard.
Everyone's scenes are the same, so it seems that those doors are just for them to enter the mission alone, and it doesn't mean they are different.
What I encountered was roughly the same, a cave, a tree in the cave, and a man with an ax outside the cave.
It's just that the encounter is very different.
Song Hong has always been the most cautious. He didn't dare to move after seeing the faces of those fruits clearly. He was just startled by the faces protruding from the cave wall, and ran out without thinking. As a result, he happened to bump into a man, and immediately the back of his head was opened, as in a nursery rhyme, his fingers were chopped off one by one.
"It's fine if it's just like this," Song Hong said in a low voice, "but I've always been sober..."
Kou Dong understood.
Even when turned into a sticky pot of meat soup, he was awake. This kind of horror itself is far greater than others, and it is too real. For them, it is a real death.
But how did the faces get on the wall
"It's okay if you can't see it," Song Hong couldn't help sighing, "The carvings are all human faces—but I can see it."
As soon as you see it, they are growing out of the wall.
Kou Dong recalled that he also found that the walls were uneven, but he didn't think about people's faces at all. Now it seems that it is a good thing.
After he finished speaking, the next one was Axue. The little girl's experience was rather tough, so she fought the man a few times with a knife on her shoulders, but she couldn't escape in the end.
other people:"… "
To be honest, since Ah Xue finished taking care of the scumbag father, her courage and combat effectiveness have increased significantly, and she has even become a little fierce.
Can this be carried hard
"But it was useless in the end," Ah Xue stated lightly, "I didn't escape, I was boiled."
Yin Qi whispered: "I was boiled too. It was cooked thoroughly..."
Song Hong added: "There are still fruits."
"Yes," Yin Qidao, "with Guozi..."
Kou Dong: "With Guozi?"
He felt a slight tug in his heart.
Those are all his children.
Yin Qi nodded, and cast inquiring glances at the others—the rest also nodded, apparently having encountered the same thing as him.
"Since making soup, there must be condiments." Song Hong smiled wryly, "It's just that we seem to be the staple food."
They looked at the last two people.
Ye Yanzhi said calmly: "They beat me together, but they didn't win."
With a simple sentence, the rest of the people who said it almost broke down in sweat. Yin Qi exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes widened, and he confirmed with him: "Does it mean that Guo Zi beat you together with that person?"
The others are all one side, and the fruit is just a condiment—however, Ye Yanzhi has changed.
Ye Yanzhi was not surprised, the NPCs left and right didn't want him well, they regarded him as a thorn in their side, a thief trying to steal treasures from them. Now he seems to have stood on the opposite side of them.
"But how do they fight?" Yin Qi struggled, "They have no arms or legs..."
Kou Dong said dryly: "It can be changed."
As a former fruit, he felt offended.
"Yes," Ye Yanzhi said, "it can change into a child."
When he said that, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, obviously not a pleasant memory. He turned his head to look at Kou Dong, and suddenly said, "I don't want a child."
Kou Dong didn't hear the deep meaning in his words, so he hesitated and said, "I think it's okay..."
Ye Yanzhi: "I don't want children."
He rarely spoke twice.
Kou Dong's old father's heart rose again, and he looked at Ye Yanzhi as if he was looking at the boss who was angry with his parents who wanted a second child, and said kindly: "Okay, listen to you, then don't .”
Although children are cute, it is more important to raise them by yourself.
The trio listening to them talk about their kids: "…"
They looked at each other, unable to break into this topic for a while. Yin Qi moved a little to the side, away from the pair of gays who seemed to be worried.
Kou Dong briefly talked about his own experience, probably one NPC protected him and fought against the other, and everyone who listened was dumbfounded. The old teammate is okay, I have seen Kou Dong being favored by many NPCs a long time ago, and it is no surprise; Yin Qi's eyeballs are about to fall off, and asked several times if it is true, and finally Song Hong stopped him Used to it.
"Anyway, people's hearts are biased," he concluded. "How can you expect their hearts to be biased?"
Although it's rare to say so...
They began to discuss what this mission represented. Unexpectedly, Ye Yanzhi said that the image of the man holding the ax looked like some kind of symbol, such as death.
This is the first time that he rarely involves NPC images or games in this kind of analysis.
After hearing this, Song Hong found it both absurd and reasonable, and hesitantly asked, "Could it be the god of death? Impermanence?"
"Nonsense," Yin Qi laughed dryly, and moved his legs, as if he was numb from fear, "If it's really the god of death, why does it look like this? — It's too shabby."
His ability to focus is also top-notch.
Ye Yanzhi swept across his face calmly and said, "I'm just guessing."
After that, I won't mention it anymore.
Seeing that none of them mentioned the talisman paper, Kou Dong took out the talisman paper. Five people have studied its usage, and it has actually been written quite clearly—this is a tool that can change the order.
Besides him, Ye Yanzhi also had one in his hand. It seems that as long as successful people will have it.
If it was the other team, there might be internal strife over these two important clues that could turn things around. But the four of them have been working together for a long time, and they already trust each other quite a bit. Yin Qi doesn't seem to have the guts to do so, so they just watched it peacefully, feeling sincerely happy for Ye Yanzhi.
Anyway, if Ye Yanzhi gets this, at least he can change his order backwards. They have everyone's number now, and it's not difficult to change to eleven.
The hard part is psychological.
Using such props can always make people feel guilty, as if using them is to harm others.
Ye Yanzhi just looked at it, and then calmly stuffed it back into his pocket, without any intention of using it.
They walked back along the long corridor, back to the resting place. Those who explored also came back one after another. Brother Tao was caught in the middle, waving at a few players who didn't go to the tunnel today.
The few players followed him happily, and soon there was a voice of thanks, and then they ran towards the corridor - obviously, Brother Tao reminded them that there was a clue.
Kou Dong squinted his eyes at this scene, and suddenly asked Ye Yanzhi in a low voice, "Do you think he has talisman paper?"
Ye Yanzhi replied without asking: "What do you think?"
"He is an old hand," Kou Dong whispered his guess, "he should be familiar with the routine. In such a scene, there must be something important. Moreover, he should have something to save his life."
In this way, it is very likely that Brother Tao has such a card in his hand.
Kou Dong is not a person with malicious intentions, but after these few copies, he also gradually understands the sinister human heart that A Xue said. As far as Brother Tao is concerned, he is obviously malicious but afraid of them, and the rhythm of the three times is to keep him alive. Such a person is selfish and unscrupulous.
They must be guarded against.
Ye Yanzhi: "That's right."
He agreed with Kou Dong's words.
Kou Dong: "Then who do you think he will trade with?"
To be on the safe side, it should actually be No. 11. But Brother Tao looked away, obviously hesitating.
Kou Dong could also guess what he was worried about. He was afraid that after he used the talisman paper to change it to number eleven, any of the five of them would also use up the talisman paper and exchange it with him. That way, his order might become higher.
It's better to change to number 12.
No. 12 was hidden among these five people, and he has not been discovered so far, which shows that he is protected by others. The order change will not be notified. If he changed it quietly, those people would still think that No. 12 is one of these five people, and these five people would also think so.
In this way, he can be regarded as protected and can live to the end.
These two choices made Brother Tao hesitate, and finally chose to give up temporarily.
At this time, a veteran would choose to hide and wait, and would not make a choice so quickly. It won't be him who died in the past few days, his order is not so fast.
Unless he's already identified who Number Twelve is.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the replacement so quickly.
Kou Dong: "He still wants to be the last."
This is actually human nature, but Kou Dong and Ye Yan's non-exchange is more or less due to scruples - this is no different from the same person exchanging lives.
But Ye Yanzhi was the number two, Kou Dong struggled a little, suddenly his heart lit up, and said: "How about..."
"No," Ye Yanzhi said flatly, "I won't exchange with you."
His words blocked Kou Dong's way.
Kou Dong is still trying: "I can't die."
At most, this dungeon would want to possess him, in other words, it would be greedy for his body. As for killing him? That is reluctant.
This sequence can come to an end with him.
Ye Yanzhi: "No. If you change it, I will change it back."
He was obviously serious, so Kou Dong could only sigh.
"… Ok."
"Don't use ours first," Ye Yanzhi said, looking at Brother Tao, "use his first."
Kou Dong: "...?"
Kou Dong came to his senses, and was actually a little excited, "You mean..."
He couldn't help but gear up.
Is he there yet
Is it time for him to play the show
Ye Yanzhi nodded, "Yes."
His expression was still calm, bowing his head in the young man's ear, with an intimate and gentle expression, as if he was not talking about life and death at all, but sweet words of love.
"It's best if he doesn't do it."
"If he wants to change—"
There was a cold glow in his eyes.
"That would be pure suicide."
The author has something to say:
Kou Dong: Today is also a day of being favored by NPCs alone, smile.
