Screaming Cycle

Ren Jian silently watched Ji Tuan finish the chocolate, and saw that there were only four hours left before dawn, and suggested that they should not blow the cold wind on the bell tower and should go back to sleep.

But Ji Xiaoniao didn't know what was wrong with him. Instead, he became hypocritical at this time. Haw Haw was reluctant to go downstairs.

Ren Jianmo did not urge him, but only asked: "Why?"

"Why, why..."

Ji Tuan couldn't explain it clearly, and was speechless for a while.

In his heart, he urged himself to quickly think of an excuse, his eyeballs squirming around, anxiously sweating out of his forehead.

Captain Bird usually thinks that he is a very clever person, especially a big heart. Even in the finals of the World Championships, when he is behind the Jedi counterattack by a big score, he can do not blush or breathe, and his mentality is so good for the whole team. No one refused to accept it.

But somehow, when facing Ren Jianmo, he is always very easy to make a fool of himself, and even if he is too nervous, he can even blow up his hair and leak electricity. What a shame and shame!

Ji Tuan disliked himself in his heart, while casting his gaze out of the round window of the clock tower, he blurted out:

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"

Ren Jianmo: "..."

"No, no, no!"

Ji Lu suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and could only wait to swallow his tongue, and even his explanation became incoherent:

"No, no, I didn't mean I like you! Ah! No, no, I don't like you either!"

He scratched his wool roll anxiously:

"The point is, what I want to say is not that the moon is very bright, I, I mean..."

Ji Xiaoniao was in a panic, seeing a few scattered lights in the distance, blessing his soul:

"I, I mean, it's too dark here, just want to see the lights!"

He pointed to the distance and said pitifully:

"Look, you can see the light on the bell tower..."

Ren Jianmo's eyes flickered:

"So you are afraid of the dark?"

In fact, Ji Tuan didn't have that dark, narrow and terrible slender nerve, but now it seems that there is no other way than to borrow the donkey from the **** and follow the words of Ren Damei to recognize the pot "be afraid of the dark".

So he could only nod his head, "Yes, a little bit."

"Oh."

As expected, Ren Jianmo didn't mention going back to bed.

The two stood side by side in front of the hanging window, silently watching the dim lights in the night.

Ji Tuan glanced aside quietly.

His movements were very concealed. He did not dare to raise his face sharply and look blatantly. Therefore, in his field of vision, he could only see Ren Jianmo's stiff shoulders wrapped in white girdle overalls, and the smooth flow of his jaw to his neck. Beautiful lines.

He is more than half of his head shorter than Ren Jianmo, and when standing side by side, he can almost lie on the other's shoulder by tilting his head.

Ji Lu can't help but fill his brain for a while. He leaned on Ren Dameiren's shoulders, making a bird like a human, and then shivered by the picture in his mind. He quickly raised his chest and raised his head, standing more than military training. When the military posture is still straight.

At this moment, a hand reached out quietly and touched his shoulder.

Ji Xuan raised his head reflexively and looked at Ren Jianmo.

I saw that Dame Ren didn't know when to light up the torch, and hit the tip of her chin, showing the effect of a classic horror film.

"Well……!"

Ji Xuan was so frightened that he almost screamed.

However, just before the voice uttered, he returned to the cage sensibly, and tightly covered his mouth with his hands to prevent the screams from being too loud and alarming the monsters who did not know where they were hiding.

"You, what are you doing!?"

Ji Yu pressed his chest, and was dumbfounded by Ren Jianmo's mischief, "What if I scream in fright!"

"Will not."

Ren Jianmo turned off the flashlight and smiled badly at the victim who had just been scared by him:

"If you really want to yell, I will cover your mouth before you speak."

Ji Shu: "..."

-Fuck!

He thought, how could this sound so strange!

Covering your mouth with your hands at any time, it's almost like flirting, it's not a straight man!

Seeing Ji Shu's dogish eyes widening, with a shocked and aggrieved expression on his face, Ren Jian bent his eyes silently and cheerfully, "Didn't you just say that you are afraid of the dark."

He pointed to the flashlight in his hand, "Look, doesn't this have light?"

Ji Shu: "..."

-Fuck! It really makes sense, how can I refute it!

At this time, Ren Jianmo threw another heavy hammer, "Moreover, my face should be pretty, right? Then what are you afraid of?"

Ji Lu: "!!!"

His face blushed.

Originally, he had always thought that Ren Jianmo should be a low-spoken male god, and when this guy was in front of other people, it was true.

But Ren Jianmo is now teasing him brightly. The former indifference has completely faded away when he is alone. That attitude can be called familiarity and intimacy...

--All right.

Ji Shu can only comfort himself.

Therefore, he and Ren Dameiren'er can already be regarded as...good...friends, right?

"Actually, I think..."

Ji Yu turned his head away, and turned his gaze back to the emptiness of the night sky, "These'worlds' that we are experiencing are not so-called games, or virtual spaces like this."

He touched the hard stones of the clock tower with his palm, "because they are so real."

Ren Jianmo: "..."

He didn't speak, just turned his head to look at Ji Shu.

Ji Xiaoniao is a little embarrassed. It is too difficult for a sports student to explain these advanced physics conjectures: "Before, I have heard the theory of plane space... Now I want to come, will we be the real The'outsiders' are arranged by the'Peach Blossom Spring' to different planes..."

"Oh?"

Ren Jianmo continued his words and asked: "What are you doing here?"

Ji Shu shook his head, "I don't know."

He thought hard for a while, "Test? Trial? I can't tell."

Ji Xiaoniao said, looking back at Ren Jianmo's pupils with different colors, "What do you think?"

Ren Jianmo curled up the corners of his lips, revealing a self-deprecating and sneer expression, "I don't know either."

His fingers also rubbed the rough stone wall of the clock tower twice, "However, I agree with you that this is not illusory data, but a real ‘world’."

Some guesses, Ren Jianmo did not say.

In fact, he doesn't think anyone can create such a realistic world one after another through any virtual carrier.

But "Peach Blossom Spring" never expressly expresses the nature of the "world" to these contestants, and only encourages them in disguise to treat themselves as actors and treat each "world" as a false space that can be squeezed at will.

All this is just to eliminate their compassion and empathy more quickly and completely, so that they can become victims of struggling to survive purely serving the "Peach Blossom Spring".

The two of them spent half an hour on the clock tower before finally deciding to go back to the cellar to sleep.

Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo walked down the spiral staircase one after another.

The corridors are cramped and narrow, with a fishy smell of dust and mold peculiar to old buildings.

Originally Ji Tuan walked in front with a flashlight, but when he was about to reach the exit, he was caught by someone behind him.

Ji Xiaoniao looked back suspiciously.

"Shhh."

Ren Jianmo stretched out his index finger and pressed it to his lips, making a "silhouette" gesture, and at the same time, he leaned to Ji Lu's ear and said two words in a breath: "Someone."

Ji Tuan trembled all over, his hairs stood upside down, and the little sleepiness that was finally brewing was also washed away with the cold sweat oozing from his pores.

He turned off the flashlight under Ren Jianmo's instructions.

Then they held their hands, supported each other, and walked the last step in the dark, quietly leaning against the door panel behind the closet.

Sure enough, Ji Lu heard the voice of someone pressing down on his throat.

The corner of the door leading to the clock tower is a place where the survivors in the town pile up supplies and solve their physiological needs, and the area where they sleep is diagonal.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Ji Shu to guess, this should be someone who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, specially chooses a corner away from everyone, and whispers a little bit of whispers.

He listened for a while with his ears erected, and quickly recognized the identities of the two outside the door.

Because their voices are so distinctive.

Although both of them kept the volume low, one of them had a hoarse and old voice, and it was the old priest's.

The other is a young female voice-among the fifteen people in the cellar, apart from Rose, who is also the participant, there is only one woman left. Since it is not the Rose's voice that Ji Shu and the others are familiar with, then It could only be another one.

The two seemed to be arguing about what happened.

At the beginning, Ji Tuan could only distinguish a few words together with a guess, but it was difficult to string them into sentences with coherent meaning.

Later, the argument between the pastor and Annie escalated into a quarrel, and the voice became a little louder uncontrollably, and Ji Xiaoniao finally listened to it.

"No, you can't just take care of yourself!"

The old priest said to Annie:

"I don't care when I'm old, but there are others here! You can't..."

"Haha, don't say yourself so noble!"

Annie fought back:

"To put it bluntly, you are just terribly afraid of death!"

Her tone was very sharp:

"Otherwise, why don't you take out'that'?"

"Annie!"

The pastor interrupted her eagerly: "We've already said it, and we won't mention ‘that’ again!"

He paused, his voice a little embarrassed:

"Besides, there is only..., not enough points!"

A few words in the middle of the old priest were really too vague. Even if Ji Xuan put his ear on the door panel and squeezed a baby face into shape, he still couldn't hear it clearly.

"Ah!"

Hearing the old man's answer, Annie ridiculed, "If this is the case, then don't bother me!"

She speaks faster:

"Furthermore, I will look for the Moon God Stone! As long as I find it, I will definitely come back to pick you up. Okay!"

"No... why are you so stubborn!"

He was obviously poked by Annie, and his voice was shaking with anger.

"Besides, that **** Su Lin, it's just..."

"Shut up!"

Annie never gave the old pastor a chance to finish her sentence.

Although she still remembers to control the volume, Ji Tuan can hear the anger mixed in the young woman's words through a door panel.

He didn't know who "Su Lin" was—anyway, no one called the name of the survivors in the cellar or the participants.

In a corner of the cellar next to the door, the old priest was shocked by Anne's tone, or the other party made some kind of threat by action, and he muttered sadly.

He changed his attitude and persuaded a few words in a gentle tone. He didn't know if Annie had even listened to it. He just perfunctorily spoke a few words and didn't bother to talk about it anymore.

After the two stopped arguing, their voices became smaller. Ji Shu could only hear the old man murmur again. Annie occasionally returned his short syllables, but he just said something. I can't really hear it.

About five minutes later, the two seemed to have nothing to say, and then there was a slight and rhythmic sound of heels hitting the stone slabs outside the door-the old priest and Annie left.

Ji Lu and Ren Jian squeezed silently in the dark corridor and waited for a while until there was no sound outside before they cautiously opened the door and slipped out in the dark.

Ji Xiaoniao's eyesight has been strengthened in the "Peach Blossom Spring". Even in the cellar where he can barely reach his fingers, he can still blur the outline of the object with the only light source of a candlestick in the corner.

He took the initiative to hold Ren Jianmo's hand, led the people around the clutter stacked in the corner, and returned to their original sleeping place quietly, without disturbing anyone.

"Do not worry."

Ren Jian silently stuck to Ji Lu's ear and said, "If you have anything, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Then he shook off the blanket and wrapped it around him, still facing the wall and lay down.

Ji Yu also slept next to him, covered with a blanket, closed his eyes, tried his best to force himself to stop thinking about anything, and lost his way.

The author has something to say:

Let me tell you in advance, this is a story of growth.

Readers should also see that the difficulty of the protagonist's current situation has actually been manipulated. In general, it is far beyond their current rookie level, so the protagonist will not block and kill the gods from the beginning. If the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, he will definitely have the deficiencies and innocence of the newcomer, but he will definitely try his best to do this within his own ability~
