Strange talk about the rules: I fast travel with my deskmate

Chapter 17 Doomsday Convenience Store (17)

At dusk, it rained again in the convenience store.

Looking at the pattering raindrops outside the glass door, Xiong Qingqing felt a little excited.

There is one last night before they can go home.

"jingle--"

A bell rang, and the door of the convenience store was suddenly pushed open.

A familiar person entered the store, tall and tall, wearing a dark green raincoat.

"It's the man in the raincoat who came at dusk on the first day!" Xu Lingze was also a little excited, because this man had given them an important reminder.

He walked to the counter and took off his raincoat hat. This was the first time that Xiong Qingqing could see his face clearly. There was a scar on the left side of the thick eyebrow.

She always felt that this guy looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

"Little girl, why do you always stare at me? Do you think, uncle, I'm handsome?" The man in the raincoat smiled.

Xiong Qingqing was stunned for a second, then nodded, "Uncle, you are so cool, especially the scar on your eyebrow, which is super masculine!"

In short, she hates Xu Lingze's kind of boy who looks weak and motherly.

"Ha ha……"

The man in the raincoat laughed heartily, and then nodded, "Little girl, you are very discerning!"

"So, uncle, do you want to give me some reliable advice when you come today?" Xiong Qingqing looked forward to it.

The man in the raincoat moved closer to her, "I don't have any reliable advice. Don't you figure out everything here? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to live until now."

"Uh... so can I ask a question?"

The man in the raincoat thought for a while, "Yes."

Xiong Qingqing pointed to the ceiling, "There's a clerk up there... what's going on with it?"

"The loser of the last mission." The man in the raincoat said flatly.

Xiong Qingqing unconsciously opened his eyes wide, and his heart skipped a beat.

The end of mission failure is really death!
That guy on the ceiling is a living... a dead example!
She thought it was because that guy died, that's why she traveled to this place to temporarily take over this role.

"Why did I come here, and..."

"You've already asked a question."

The man in the raincoat interrupted her with an uncompromising smile on his face.

"I……"

Xiong Qingqing also wanted to ask about the electric box, but it seemed that he couldn't get an answer.

"It seems that you are still very worried? But we are very optimistic about you, you should be able to go home."

"Uncle... am I with Xu Lingze?"

Xiong Qingqing suddenly thought of this question, Xu Lingze on the other side of the screen was also a little flustered, what did he mean by this?Misexpression, or intentional?
"Xu Lingze... who is it?" The man in the raincoat frowned.

"It's the decision-maker! It's just... I'm the executor, he's the decision-maker! He's in a place where there's no one, there's nothing there, it's blank, there's only one screen, and a decision-making button, which can control my The decision can also stop time for ten seconds!"

Xiong Qingqing was a little excited, and the man in the raincoat waved his hand, "No, girl, what are you talking about? Aren't you the only one here? What decision maker?"

"Yes! The decision maker, Xu Lingze! He is my deskmate!" Xiong Qingqing pointed to his ear, "Only I can hear what he said!"

The man in the raincoat raised his eyebrows, "This is...you imagined it?"

"Impossible, no!"

"Maybe you came to a strange environment and were too lonely, so you imagined a partner to help you make choices. In fact, this guy doesn't exist at all."

"No! How come, I also heard the sound of the system! The system said..."

The more Xiong Qingqing spoke, the more excited she became, the man in raincoat interrupted her again, "Girl, no matter what you are imagining or what, I only know that whoever can survive at the last moment here will be considered as having completed the task."

"uncle……"

The man in the raincoat put on his hat and left the convenience store.

Xiong Qingqing sat down on the chair and fell into deep self-doubt.

Could it be that the voices she has heard all this time are really her imagination?

Xu Lingze was not here at all, she was the only one who came here through time travel.

"Xiong Qingqing." Xu Lingze's voice came suddenly, "You don't really believe what he said, do you?"

"I don't know..." Xiong Qingqing closed her eyes and sighed.

Xu Lingze glanced at his body, and then looked around. This place is really fake.

"That guy seems to know everything. He also said just now that they are very optimistic about you, which proves that he is also a member of a certain organization, and even understands everything that happens here. Maybe there is still a screen, and someone is watching it. Every move." Xu Lingze analyzed.

Xiong Qingqing shook his head, "I don't want to worry about these things, I just want to go home. But... what do you do? Could it be that you just travel through consciousness?"

Xu Lingze pinched himself, shook his head after feeling the pain, "No, it's not consciousness, I'm here."

Soon Xiong Qingqing also felt the pain, "What did you do just now?"

"I pinched myself."

"Could it be... the pain you feel is actually mine?" Xiong Qingqing guessed.

"If it's just that I can feel your pain, then it's possible, but if my injury can also be transmitted to you, then it's not true." Xu Lingze held his forehead and thought for a while, "Maybe...that raincoat man is here today , just to remind us of this."

"What? Didn't he want to tell us that if we fail the mission, we will die?"

"I asked this question myself, not as a reminder from him. He just deliberately mentioned 'you should be able to go home' just now. Maybe he just wanted to tell us that only you can survive the two of us."

After Xu Lingze said this, Xiong Qingqing panicked even more.

She is still more accepting of consciousness time travel, or imagining these two concepts.

"No, Xu Lingze, I can't let you die here! We must find a way to live together!" Xiong Qingqing suddenly got up and said.

"But none of us know where I am now..."

Xu Lingze was also very desperate. After persisting for so long, could it be that the end would be death?
Suddenly, Xiong Qingqing felt that he was on the verge of starving to death, his whole body was weak, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Xu Lingze looked at Xiong Qingqing on the screen, and just about to ask her what's wrong, he instantly felt the same way.

"Quick, it should be the time limit for the nutrient solution."

Xiong Qingqing took out the medicine bottle of nutrient solution from his pocket, opened it, took out a small packet and put it in his mouth. As a feeling of nausea flowed into his stomach, he gradually regained consciousness.

Thinking that he couldn't go back, Xu Lingze's eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth to hold back his impending collapse, and said, "Xiong Qingqing, when you get home, tell my parents that I love them very much."

"No matter what holidays we had, you are my deskmate. Xu Lingze, we still have a whole day, I will definitely find you."
