I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Xiao Mo looked puzzled, "Since it is correct, then the room will not change after passing through, so there is nothing wrong with this being the correct solution, right?"

Kugisaki growled as if he was giving up on himself, waving his hands with a crazy look on his face: "So how can you still get out of the broken door that has no effect at all?"

Kugisaki's brain

Almost turned into a mess by the irritability.

Then Xiao Mo walked back from across the door frame, stood on tiptoes, and reached out to hold Kugizaki's cheek.

An icy chill penetrated from the part where Xiaomo touched his cheek, and it seemed to be spinning around in his mind, making Kugisaki shiver all over.

Kugisaki immediately stepped back and broke away from Xiaomo's hands.

"what did you do to me!?"

"You were affected by the cursed atmosphere here because you stayed here for too long?"

After being reminded like this by Xiao Mo, Kugisaki suddenly came back to his senses. Only then did he feel that his brain, which had been so hot before as if it had been cooked in a steamer, became more enlightened, and his thoughts were no longer occupied by all kinds of terrible random thoughts.

"Ah...did you help me?"

Xiao Mo nodded: "It's only temporary. Sister Kugizaki said that you are a human being and I am a curse spirit. I used my own power to temporarily isolate your spirit from this realm, but if it continues like this, Sooner or later you will be affected by my power."

Kugisaki felt a chill in his heart, rubbed his shoulders and said, "Well, that's better than going crazy right away. At least it buys time."

Looking at the broken iron door that was still creaking and shaking, Kugisaki looked at Xiao Mo beside him: "So what do you think about this?"

Regarding the first cooperation with the curse spirit, Kugizaki finally chose to let Xiaomo express his thoughts.

After all, the curse spirit may have a better understanding of the curse spirit than she does as a human being, although she expressed her inability to understand various human vocabulary from the beginning...

But what if, what if...

"Hey, I don't have any ideas. I just did what Sister Kugisaki said."

——She has no ideas of her own at all!

Kugisaki immediately wanted to cover his head and cry.

But Xiaomo continued: "Sister Kugisaki said that the way out of this maze is probably related to [opening the door] and taking the right path..."

If you take the wrong path or encounter a trap or dead end, the space will be reorganized and disrupted, and you will definitely return to the room with four doors.

So among the four doors, excluding the door behind you that cannot be opened, there are three doors, and among them is the correct path.

The logic is very simple, but the problem is that some walls and doors were destroyed by Xiaomo, and Kugisaki subconsciously thought that those doors had lost their function.

"But actually not." Xiao Mo shook the creaking door panel, "The essence of getting out of the maze lies in [opening the door] and [taking the right path] after that. It does not say that you must open the [intact door]. Only then can we go on the right path.”

Just like the concept of "binding" in the magic formula, "opening the door" is an act.

And [opening the intact door] is a conditional behavior.

The act of opening an intact door is included in the scope of the act of opening a door, so [opening a damaged door] or [opening a door that has been broken and deformed but reassembled] both fall into the category of [opening a door].

In other words: the program still runs correctly.

This approach is within the rules.

Later, in order to confirm this speculation, Xiao Mo took the initiative to destroy a door with the wrong route under the witness of Kugizaki, put it back together, then opened it, entered the room... and closed the door.

Standing in the broken room with Xiaomo, listening to the sound of the surrounding space reorganizing, Kugisaki felt as excited as if he had heard the most beautiful music.

"incredible..."

She is right!

Although it took a lot of effort for the two of them to find the right path again, there is no doubt that the accurate consistency of their thoughts and ideas for overcoming the barrier rekindled Kugisaki's hope.

One person and one curse spirit work together to get out of this maze that exudes a gloomy atmosphere. The two have a clear division of labor - Kugisaki is responsible for remembering and finding the door that leads to the right path, and then Xiaomo is responsible for dealing with the ones he broke.

As the two finally began to officially advance the progress of cracking the long maze step by step, Kugisaki gradually realized that all this was just the beginning of despair.

Chapter 136 Sincerity

"How long have you been gone..." Kugizaki's throat seemed to be on fire, dry and stinging, and every word he spoke was mixed with pain.

This seems a bit too long, right? !

Kugisaki felt that he and Xiaomo had been walking in this maze for two or three days. Since a long time ago, no door panels or walls had been damaged.

It shows that the two of them have really gone deep into this maze.

His abdomen was burning and cramping, and his feet were weak. Kugisaki had not had a drop of water since he broke in, and he had not had any food sources to supplement him.

Could it be that Teacher Campbell, Hu Zhi and Fushiguro were all eliminated by the miscellaneous fish outside? ! Why have I been trapped here for so long, and this realm of life is still alive and well? !

This answer was given by Xiaomo.

The space in this birth realm is completely cut off from the outside world, and even the flow of time is different.

To be precise, the internal time has passed——

"Three days and seven hours, twenty-one minutes and nine seconds."

"Is it so accurate..."

Xiao Mo shrugged, "People are very good at counting in the dark because there is nothing else to do."

"How many did you count last time?" Nagisaki asked hoarsely, lying on Xiaomo's lap pillow.

"Nine thousand

Nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand years, three hundred and sixty-four days, twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds. "

"...."

"Is it really that long?" Kugisaki asked with a wry smile in disbelief.

Xiao Mo shook his head and replied: "I didn't count anymore after this, because I don't know how to count further."

"One hundred million years." Kugisaki replied.

"Eh?"

"After 10 million, it's 100 million." Although Xiao Mo didn't take the initiative to ask, Kugizaki still answered it for her.

"Oh..." Xiao Mo nodded, "But what's the use of knowing this? My memory is not complete. I only remember very few things. I even forgot why I counted this."

In this dark, empty and boring maze, in order not to go crazy first, Kugisaki could only keep communicating with Xiaomo.

But as the exchange between the two deepened, Kugisaki gradually developed inexplicable complex emotions towards the cursed spirit next to him who he would have definitely considered an [enemy] before.

Maybe he will eventually die, and only Xiao Mo will be around. Maybe the hope of getting out of here has gradually extinguished in Kugisaki's heart.

It wasn't until a certain moment or moment that Kugisaki truly regarded Xiaomo as his friend.

She thought this was the craziest thing she had ever done. A high-level magician actually became friends with a super-level magic spirit.

Just hearing this kind of thing would make me call it impossible, but now I actually do it.

Maybe it’s because I have no choice, maybe I’m not willing to be alone, maybe I don’t want to be destined to die alone.

In this complex maze with almost no end, only she and she can rely on each other.

Under such circumstances, what's the point of shouting about killing and shouting about the stance of human beings and the stance of cursed spirits?

It's just this kind of wonderful friendship where we don't want to believe each other until death, but we still rely on each other.

"But you won't know until you lie down...Xiao Mo, your legs are so comfortable."

Kugizaki's rest breaks inevitably increased due to lack of physical strength, and every time he rested on Xiao Mo's lap, the two of them whispered to each other about trivial matters, almost face to face. It made Kugisaki want to hold on for a while longer.

Sleeping was impossible because Kugisaki didn't know if he would wake up again once he closed his eyes, so he could only keep himself thinking.

I don’t know how long has passed...

"Xiao Mo, I can't hold on anymore...to be honest."

The fallen Kugizaki was held in Xiaomo's arms and lay flat in her arms.

"No! Sister Kugisaki, you can do it, as long as you hold on for a while...just hold on for a while!"

Kugisaki's cheeks were almost completely pale, and his dry lips were cracked, but no blood could flow from the wounds.

Excessive water loss, hunger and fatigue had completely overwhelmed Kugisaki.

"I have no feeling in my legs...Xiao Mo."

"They will cure you, they can cure you!"

Kugisaki moved his eyes with difficulty and glanced at Xiaomo, who had her hands covering her legs. There was fear and bewilderment on her cheeks.

"It's useless...this is not a wound." Kugisaki smiled bitterly.

"How could...how could it be! You promised to go out with Xiao Mo. We want to choose useful cosmetics together, right?"

Now I still want to play together...

Kugisaki was speechless and could only think bitterly in his heart.

Moving his fingers, Kugizaki tapped Xiao Mo's wrist.

what time is it? Or rather, how long has passed. Probably asking this question.

Xiao Mo bent over, holding the dying Kugizaki in his arms, shaking his head vigorously, his shoulders trembling.

"I don't know... Xiao Mo doesn't know about that kind of thing! People can count the time accurately all the time just because they are bored."

"But...but!"

"I have always been very happy when I spent time with Kugisaki-san...I was so happy that I didn't know when I had completely forgotten to count."

"It's different from Xia You, Hua Sister, Hu Bao, and Tuo Gen... Sister Kugizaki, she talks very interestingly, can make others happy, comfort others, and act coquettishly... although she sometimes has a bad temper. Yes, but I still like to be friends with Sister Kugisaki!"

That might be a [real friend], Xiao Mo thought.

There is no longer any fear of one's own power, no other purpose of using oneself, just to kill each other's boring time, and to give each other support to continue going forward.

Two people who depend on each other for life while walking with death, or on the way to death.

Xiao Mo no longer felt tired and disgusted by the disappearance of Kugisaki, a human in his arms.

It's another kind of emotion that is completely incomprehensible, which makes something in the chest feel tight and tingling. My nose is sore and my eyes can't see clearly.

"Don't die...! Sister Kugisaki... don't die... Xiao Mo hates you dying... This feeling is so strange... What is this?"

A faint hissing sound came out of Kugizaki's throat, and Xiao Mo quickly put his ear to her mouth.

"Hiss...hoo..."

Can't hear clearly, can't hear, or Kugizaki

I no longer have the ability to speak.

Her eyes began to become cloudy, and her pupils gradually dilated under Xiao Mo's gaze.

"no, do not want...."

Xiao Mo's voice trembled, and she suddenly felt fear growing crazily in her heart.

This should be impossible.

Those negative emotions belonging to human beings should have been their own food.

But I don't know why it happened to me.

...

Before——

"Kugizaki-sister, so what does it mean to be a true good friend?"

"Well, let me think about it." Kugizaki leaned against the wall, keeping a distance from Xiao Mo, and then replied: "I probably thought of something good and wanted to share it with them immediately, and I was the first to think of something delicious. They are also the ones who play together... fight side by side. Move forward together for their respective ideals..."

"In order for them to survive, maybe I can sacrifice my life without hesitation... Maybe that level of not being good friends anymore, what should I call them - brothers?" Kugisaki chuckled, and then said: "But girls should call each other sisters."

Xiao Mo tilted his head: "Sisters, can Sister Kugisaki and I be considered sisters?"

"Ha, it's impossible, absolutely impossible! Don't think that if you keep calling me sister, we will be sisters!"
