Chapter 24 Unbeautiful scenery
"High Priest, next time Yao'er can open the door by himself." After entering the door, the girl helped the old man, who was called the high priest, back to his seat and sat down. "What are you looking for for Yao'er?"

Although the high priest is over seventy years old, his eyes are deep and shrewd.

"Yao'er, those people have to be let go."

"Why?" As if she didn't understand, the girl looked at him puzzledly, "You often tell Yao'er that people outside have ulterior motives and impure thoughts, but I don't think they are like you said."

"Oh... that's all. If you want to stay, just stay for a few more days..."

Xie Jinge could clearly see that his perspective was following the girl.

If he saw and guessed correctly, he might be in that person's past.

Xie Jinge looked along from the girl's perspective, and the memory of being summoned by the high priest was the most numerous.

He was curious.

Who are they?

Why was the high priest so resistant to them staying?

Following the girl out of the house, the moment Xie Jinge stepped out of the room, he clearly felt that the sky seemed to be getting darker and the atmosphere began to become heavier.

"Alas...those people can't stay with us after all!"

"Yao'er, listen to the high priest and let them leave as soon as possible!"

"I heard that the high priest asked Yao'er to ask questions again. When did you think this was the leader?"

The kind women persuaded them distressedly. Everyone in the tribe was talking about "them", except for the girl who still persisted.

"But I don't think they are really bad people -"

Just all to no avail.

After some time, Xie Jinge looked at the girl who walked out of the high priest's room again. She looked downcast and walked to another place with reluctance.

The white and fat little boy had two cute little knots on his head, showing two small teeth. He stumbled towards the girl with a wild flower in his hand.

"Sister, here you go!"

Behind him was a couple.

The girl picked up the little boy and spoke in a low tone.

"I'm sorry... outsiders are not allowed to participate in the Panhuan Tribe's Begging Festival. The high priest said you have to leave..."

Is this what the tribesmen have been referring to as “them”?

The fantasy continues.

The couple held their child and kept thanking the girl. The girl's eyes were red and she waved goodbye to each other reluctantly.

what--

Why is it so hot all of a sudden? It smells like burning wood?

Xie Jinge looked back——

The scorching and violent fires were scurrying around, and the tongues of fire clinging to the ground were licking at everything they could devour. There was a muffled crackling sound, and the black smoke swept in and reflected each other in the firelight.

Snapped--

There was an almost inaudible sound, and the fire that filled the sky disappeared.

The charred ground, no human-like corpses, collapsed wooden houses, and a burning smell filled the nose.

Among them, only the high priest's house in the east is intact, which is very eye-catching among the burned houses.

Xie Jinge hesitated for a few seconds, walked slowly on the charred ground to the door of the high priest's house, and then gently opened the door——

The sound of rustling pages was heard in the quiet room. The girl sitting beside the bed lowered her eyes and looked at the medical book in her hand seriously, and occasionally opened her lips and muttered a few words.

The girl's lips were slightly raised, her eyes contained a faint smile, and her feet swayed happily.

A gust of cold wind blew by, blowing the dilapidated wooden door, making intermittent creaking sounds.

It seemed that the girl was disturbed. After she turned the last page of the book, the other party slowly raised her head.

It’s really——

Xie Jinge sighed clearly.

The girl put down the medical book in her hand, stood up slowly, squinted her eyes, and looked at him carefully.

After a while, she said with a smile: "Long time no see, old friend carrying old things."

"..." Why does it feel like the other party has forgotten him?
After thinking again and again, Xie Jinge took a few steps forward and said hesitantly: "Dare I ask..."

"I am a university doctor, but... I prefer others to call me [doctor]."

"As for this -" [Doctor] raised his eyes and looked around the house, with a trace of nostalgia and sadness in his eyes.

She carefully groped for the old wooden table in the room, smiled gently, curled her jade fingers slightly, and tapped lightly on the table.

knock --

Suddenly, the illusion that had trapped Xie Jinge for a long time was easily torn into pieces like thin paper, and the fragments were flying in the air, like titbits flying all over the sky.

"I'm really sorry for letting you see such an unbeautiful scenery."

Xie Jinge looked at [Doctor]. [Doctor]'s eyes were rare and gentle. In a daze, he seemed to see a pair of bloody holes.

The aqua dress was stained red with blood, [Doctor] lay miserably on the yellow mud floor, two tears of blood flowed from his empty eyes.

Sob, cry, scream——

He seemed to hear——

"You're wrong——"

"I hate--"

"This ridiculous world——"

Is that her past?
【Doctor】What happened in the past?

Snapped--

The fantasy ends here.

Xie Jinge inexplicably felt that [Doctor] seemed to be in a low mood, and the indelible sadness hung tightly on her body.

But there was one more important thing that forced him to bother [Doctor].

Xie Jinge had just looked for the ruins of the explosion over there, but there was no trace of [Yi Sheng] at all.

This is impossible. If [Yi Sheng] dies, Xie Jinge himself will also be hit hard.

Without him, everything was thanks to the ghost chain that he had previously tied [Yi Sheng]'s aura to.

Xie Jinge even took advantage of himself to comfort [Yi Sheng] and put his hands on her shoulders to bind the trump card that had been stored in the space.

If [Yi Sheng] dies, not only will the ghost chain bite him back and cause heavy damage, but the trump card will also react.

That is an S-class ghost prop that can unconditionally offset a death!

"[Doctor], where is the girl who has been with me?"

"Ah..." Si Yu sighed.

"she……"

【etc! etc! 】

As soon as it appears, the system will say something bad.

[Now I have good news and bad news for you! The good news is that your mission as a player NPC has been completed. The bad news is that the protagonist is too imaginative——]

[The only life-saving prop that will be of great use in the future is used on you...]

"so?"

[So the player's body was originally going to die, but the main system considered that your death would not only seriously injure the protagonist, but also not promote the development of the plot, so it was revived! 】

???

System, don't be too outrageous!
[Now we need you to stabilize the Son of Destiny so that we can arrange the next things! 】

Xie Jinge waited for a long time and asked again: "What's wrong with her?"

If there was no one around at the moment, Si Yu would have wanted to change her face and start scolding her. She suppressed her temper and raised a smile that was not stiff:

"She..."

 A little late, folks!
  I originally expected to finish writing before six o'clock, but something went wrong, but——

  I've accomplished my mission! Then tomorrow, I will return to the normal 2k word count! The next 4k PK will probably be in the second round, so dear friends, I wish you a helping hand and advance to the second round!
