Chapter 187 Stone
Chapter 187 Stone
On the side, when he heard Zhou Qian's words, he glanced at him and then at Xiaolong, He Xiaowei's heart was about to break.
He hurried forward and picked up Xiaolong and covered its ears, then looked at Zhou Qian and said anxiously: "Well, Qian'er, don't say such things to children..."
Halfway through the conversation, and the rest, seeing Zhou Qian's expression, He Xiaowei couldn't say anything.
——For so long, when did he see Zhou Qian with such an expression?
Sighing heavily, He Xiaowei helped Xiaolong wipe away his tears, then turned around and looked around, carried Xiaolong to let Yindao take care of him, and then returned to Zhou Qian's side.
Taking out a tissue, he wiped the sweat off Zhou Qian's forehead, opened his mouth several times, but said nothing.
He had no choice but to look at Qi Liuxing again.
At this moment, Qi Liu walked over and accompanied Zhou Qian.
But obviously he wasn't the type to comfort people, he just sat silently and didn't speak.
He Xiaowei looked at him, intending to ask him to help and comfort him, but he was a little dazed staring at the broken flesh and blood left behind by Ke Yuxiao's explosive body.
Well, Xiao Qi is not feeling well right now.
He Xiaowei didn't know who to comfort for a while.
Taking a deep breath, He Xiaowei sat on Zhou Qian's other side, and lightly pressed his shoulder with his palm: "Qian'er... that, that, don't worry. Didn't the system say that if we clear this dungeon, we will have a chance to meet him?" God? So... so what... We still have a chance to resurrect him!
"We still have a lot of things to do, don't be afraid, we are all with you. We want to replace Gao Shan's body, and we can also revive Boss Bai Zhou..."
Zhou Qian continued to lower his eyes, and after a long time, he said in an extremely hoarse voice: "He lied to me."
He Xiaowei couldn't understand for a moment, and asked in a soft voice as much as possible: "Who? Who lied to you?"
"Bai Zhou." Zhou Qian turned his upper body slightly, raised his eyelids, and stared straight at He Xiaowei, almost making people feel hairy. He asked, "I'm not easy to be deceived, am I?"
"Yes. It must be true." He Xiaowei said with certainty, "Who can fool you?"
"But Bai Zhouneng."
Zhou Qian's voice was very low, and he seemed very depressed, "He lied to me. He tricked me into eating his Ni Lin, and then swallowed him whole. He tricked me into absorbing all his life force, even his soul .His soul lived with me for a brief moment. In this way...he can trick the Word Spirit Box and die for me."
He Xiaowei felt very sad when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say next when he yelled "Qian'er".
"Either he won't lie to me, or he will lie to a big one..." Zhou Qian asked He Xiaowei again, "Tell me, did I do something wrong this time? Did I kill him?"
He Xiaowei couldn't answer a single question.
He always asks questions and Zhou Qian answers them.
Zhou Qian is young, but his SQ has always been high. Whether it is a dungeon puzzle or a human relationship, he can see through it at a glance.Where does he need others to answer his questions?
This kind of him really made He Xiaowei unable to adapt, and it also made He Xiaowei feel so distressed that he couldn't stand it.
After a while, Yindao came over with Xiaolong in his arms.
Yin Dao's arms were still trembling a little, and his eyes were also a little red.
Obviously, he also couldn't accept that his comrade-in-arms Bai Zhou left so abruptly.
When he spoke to Zhou Qian, Yindao's voice was very hoarse, but also very serious: "Zhou Qian, you are right. You really have a lot of responsibility for this matter. You didn't do any research, no matter how much you insisted on Walking into this dungeon without sufficient information, and bewitching such a large group of people to follow you...
"But we are also responsible. We are the ones who finally decided to support you and come with you. We didn't stop you, didn't stop Bai Zhou, and didn't discover the relationship between Ke Yuxiao and Wu Ren... This is also our problem.
"So, you are responsible for Bai Zhou's death, I am responsible, we are all responsible...
"But now is not the time to worry about who is right and who is wrong. Xiaowei is right, you cheer up first, and we can talk about it after clearing the level. We can find a way to get him back together."
"Why do you have to cheer me up. Can't you pass the level by yourself?"
Facing Yindao's heartfelt words, Zhou Qian only replied with this sentence.His tone sounded very broken.
Yin Dao clenched his fist, his chest heaved violently, obviously suppressing some kind of anger.
Zhou Qian stared into his eyes, and then asked softly: "Why do you have so many demands on me, because I am usually very strong? But...
"But, can't I have times when I feel uncomfortable and collapse?
"Aren't I just like you, I'm just an ordinary person?"
Sighing, Yindao held back the soreness in his heart, and said: "If there are only a few of us, and you feel uncomfortable and collapse at will, let's think about how to pass the level later.
"But Zhou Qian, you have to know that there are many new recruits waiting for you behind you. For example, Meng Bie, he may be difficult to deal with.
"It was you who said that you should take the opportunity to fight a beautiful battle and make the name of the Peerless Legion famous. In this case, you can't let them see you like this. Otherwise, how can they convince you? How can Wushuang become bigger? Can you compete against Taohong?"
Hearing this, He Xiaowei also felt that Yindao was a little too strict.
He couldn't help standing up, and said something for Zhou Qian: "Master, that...give Qian'er some time, after all, he lost...
"A few of us first... Those of us who have no problem will definitely be able to take others out. They don't have to see Qian'er as an example. We can do it too. We are also the leadership team of the legion."
"We know Zhou Qian. But other people are different. They believed in Zhou Qian's performance in the past few waves, so they dared to do the ultimate hidden mission with him. If they see Zhou Qian like this and collapse, how can they trust him in the future—— "
Speaking of this, Yindao was also thinking about whether to change his style and say soft words, let Zhou Qian persist for a while, and then collapse after going out.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian glared at Yindao angrily, grabbed the divine bone suddenly, and used the skill [Bone Nightmare] directly at him, trying to make him fall into a dream.
and then?
Then did he want to kill himself?
What would other newcomers think if they saw that he would attack his own people casually?
At the critical moment, Yindao quickly threw Xiaolong towards He Xiaowei.
He Xiaowei caught Xiaolong steadily, Yindao summoned the arc-shaped long knife and held it in his hand, countless skeletons bloomed on the blade like snow-colored flowers.
Hidden Knife originally minored in control skills, and had enough experience in dealing with Zhou Qian's control skills.
While letting the skeleton open its mouth to swallow the nightmare power coming from the god bone, Yindao approached Zhou Qian with a more serious voice than before.
"Zhou Qian, you are not in good shape now, don't use this trick! Your skills have a certain chance of backlash, and you will let yourself fall into a dream!"
"Let myself fall into a hallucination? Wouldn't that be nice?"
Zhou Qian's voice sounded like a dream.
Probably stimulated by a certain word in Yindao's words, Zhou Qian looked at Yindao viciously, with murderous intent in his eyes.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly appeared a little dazed again.
Yindao subconsciously noticed something was wrong, and then heard Zhou Qian say: "It's not that I don't have the ability to perceive emotions, it's just that after an accident, my brain has a magical ability. Whenever I encounter Fear, sadness, including happy things, it will temporarily put these emotions into a 'box' for self-protection.
"Of course, this is not to say that my brain has really grown a 'box', this is just a metaphor made by the attending doctor for my situation."
"The capacity of this 'box' is limited. When the emotions it can hold reach the upper limit each time, a large amount of emotions inside will overflow uncontrollably. Whenever that happens, I will go crazy.
"The doctor also mentioned that the most unfavorable situation is that if I encounter some extreme situations, this 'box' will directly blow up in my head. At that time, all the emotions I have suppressed before will rush out out. That's when I'm going to have a total meltdown."
"Yin Dao, I didn't enter this game just looking for some excitement. I actually just wanted to bring Bai Zhou back to life. I entered the game for him. Look what happened to me now?
"You're not me, you can't empathize with me, and you have no right to criticize me. Besides, I've always been selfish, so I can't control that much anymore.
"Bai Zhou is dead, so why do I care so much? You can also lead the legion. I gave you management authority. As for me—"
"I can feel the 'box' blowing up right now. I'm about to blow up. What will happen after that, I don't know, I might be completely nuts.
"And if... if this skill can make me fall into a dream, it may be good for us all. So, don't stop me. Let me fall into the dream. Maybe there is Bai Zhou in the dream. In reality, I can't see him , I can’t touch him. Then I go to find him in my dream, and it’s the same.”
He Xiaowei couldn't help crying after hearing this passage.
——It seems that Zhou Qian really loves Bai Zhou very much.
He must be dying of grief right now.
Of course Yindao also felt sore when he heard it, but at the same time he felt it was incredible.
He never doubted Zhou Qian's feelings for Bai Zhou.He just never expected that someone like Zhou Qian would be a "love brain".
But soon he felt that Zhou Qian should not be described like this.
It's true that Zhou Qian's brain is sick.
Next, Yin Dao didn't have time to think about it.
Because he suddenly heard a loud noise from the sky.
Looking up at the sky, he saw countless stones falling down one after another.
The sky suddenly began to rain stones?
What the hell is this? !
Yin Dao subconsciously took out a defensive cloak and put it on, but he quickly looked around, no one made the same move as him, and none of them even looked up, as if they didn't hear any strange movements at all.
Looking up at the shape of those stones again, Yindao found that they were exactly the same as the broken stones that existed everywhere on the top of the mountain.
In this way, it is already obvious what the real situation is.
Those stone rains were all illusions created by Zhou Qian.
The so-called creation of illusions is either to arouse people's inner demons, so that people can have terrible fantasies on their own, and then fall into an inextricable dream; or it is to use ready-made things to make people unable to distinguish between real and fake.
In short, illusions are difficult to fabricate directly out of thin air.
It was the stones scattered everywhere on this mountain, and Zhou Qian saw them, so he was able to use its shape to create the illusion of a rain of stones.
Sure enough, Yin Dao stretched out his hand to catch it casually, and when the stone fell, it passed through his palm directly, and he was not injured at all.
But Yin Dao didn't dare to take it lightly, who knows which one of these stones is real?
If he stood here without defense at all, he might be hit by several real stones in the next moment.
Hidden knife is right.
Accompanied by He Xiaowei shouting: "Master, be careful!"
Immediately, Yin Dao turned his head, and several stones that were exactly the same as in the illusion slid past his ears.It was undoubtedly thrown by Zhou Qian.
What the hell is Zhou Qian doing?
Even though he used skeletons to resist negative buffs, he could still allow himself to see illusions, which was really not easy.But what does he want to do?Do you want to smash a god-level player with a few stones?This trick is difficult even against ordinary players.
Or did he just want to vent on himself?
He was very dissatisfied with what he said just now?
Am I being too strict with him?
Is he really broken, is he really crazy?
Hidden Blade slashed, and more skulls emerged from the blade, completely sucking up the power of nightmare spreading from the divine bone.
The stone rain completely disappeared, and the cracks in the sky no longer existed. After confirming that the phantom disappeared, Yindao looked at Zhou Qian worriedly.
This time the situation was different again.
Seeing He Xiaowei holding Zhou Qian's arm, he didn't know what to say to him, Zhou Qian pushed him away, quickly picked up a stone from the ground, and mercilessly threw it at his head.
"Qian'er! It's me! You pay attention, your son is still in my hands!"
He Xiaowei immediately turned sideways to avoid it, and the stone fell to the ground with a "dang".
Zhou Qian's left wrist trembled, and he looked up to see that it was a message from the doctor Li Xuehai.
——[Zhou Qian, your situation is very unstable now, you need to get out of the game immediately to receive treatment!I don’t know if the system has blocked me, I will try to enter your ward to see]
During the game, Dr. Li would send messages to Zhou Qian from time to time.
Zhou Qian was always easy to miss before, but from a certain point on, his gamblers seemed to have decreased a lot, and there would no longer be screen swiping, so it was easy for him to see the news of Li Xuehai.
This time was the same as all the time before, Zhou Qian didn't pay too much attention to the news.
Lowering his eyes, he just looked at another stone on the ground in front of him with a curious expression.
Immediately afterwards Zhou Qian picked up the stone, but this time he threw it directly at his arm. His move was so unexpected that no one had time to stop it.
Zhou Qian's left arm was injured immediately, the sharp part of the stone cut the skin, and blood flowed out immediately.This is not the worst part, the area below the wound was immediately reddened, and it is estimated that it will be red, swollen and purple soon.
"Fuck, Qianer, calm down!" He Xiaowei hurriedly took out his lyre, trying to heal Zhou Qian.
But Zhou Qian made another move.
——He actually turned around and rushed towards the most dangerous miasma!
He Xiaowei still wanted to chase, but Qi Liuxing, who moved faster than him, took the first step.
He immediately chased after Zhou Qian with his sword, and said to He Xiaowei without looking back: "Time is running out, you guys find a way to pass the level. I'll stop him!"
Qi Liuxing chased Zhou Qian away, while Liu Yindao and He Xiaowei looked at each other on the ground.
For a moment, neither of them could accept what happened just now.
Zhou Qian has always given them the impression that——
Although he likes to pursue excitement and challenge the most difficult levels, he has always strategized and has everything firmly in his hands.
He often looks so obedient and smiles like the silly son of the landlord's family, but he always controls the thoughts and even emotions of everyone in the team.His mind was terribly meticulous.
A person like him...is he really crazy?
Yin Dao sighed deeply.
But Zhou Qian's situation really has to wait until later.
If you don't find a way to clear the customs as soon as possible, all of them will die here.
Turning around and walking to the crystal door, the hidden knife approached it, and then looked at the balance inside.
He glanced in from outside the crystal door before, and he remembered that the tray on the right side of the balance was dragged by something, so the tray couldn't really fall down, and the reversal of the two worlds couldn't be completely completed.
Now that it is so close to this door, the original purpose of Hidden Knife was to communicate with the spirit of the world in order to find more clues.
During the process, he passed the door by the way and carefully looked at the thing holding the tray, only to realize an extremely important thing, that thing was actually a rock!
——The stone is an ordinary stone that can be seen everywhere on this mountain, exactly the same as the one that Zhou Qian used to attack him madly just now.
Realizing this, Yindao's pupils suddenly tightened.
——Could it be that the rain of stones just now...was actually Zhou Qian's hint to me?
Zhou Qian kept hinting to himself.
He was just pretending to be crazy?
But why?Who is he crazy for?Priest?But that doesn't seem right either.
Although Zhou Qian's behavior is indeed no different from that of a lunatic.
But this point, even he and He Xiaowei find it hard to believe it.
Would a suspicious person like the pastor believe that he was really crazy?
These questions slipped through Yin Dao's mind one by one.
But now is not the time to explore them, he frowned and stared at the stone, thinking about what Zhou Qian wanted to imply to himself.
Suddenly, another accident occurred.
That was the sound of fighting from his three apprentices!
Immediately, Yin Dao rushed over with his sword in hand, and saw the scene of Xu Yang and his cronies attacking his three apprentices.
Originally, the two sides were fighting.It was just interrupted by Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou's changes.
Seeing that Bai and Tuesday were dead and crazy, and Yindao and Qi Liuxing left again, Xu Yang seized the opportunity and killed the three apprentices of Yindao first.
"You all stand back and leave it to me. He Xiaowei, take care of everyone."
After saying such a sentence, Yindao raised his knife and slammed it directly at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang didn't expect that Yindao's move was so fierce and domineering, and he immediately used all his strength to counter it.
But counting He Xiaowei, Yin Dao had four apprentices helping him, but Xu Yang had only him and his cronies, and the two of them undoubtedly had a hard time coping.
When Shan Sheng, who is also a god-level player, rushed to join the fight, Xu Yang was completely defeated, and his defeat was immediately revealed.
In the end, Xu Yang and his cronies both knelt on the ground, looking like they were waiting to be punished.
Shan Sheng held a long stick and pressed it on the head of Xu Yang's confidant.
As for the hidden knife, he held the knife himself and pressed the blade against Xu Yang's neck.
In fact, from the moment Ke Yuxiao exploded and died, Xu Yang knew he was defeated.
He is just not reconciled, he wants to try, if he kills one more person, he will immediately meet the condition of killing three people proposed by the spirit of the world, and then pass the level and leave!
When kneeling on the ground, Xu Yang blamed himself and Ke Yuxiao as well.
——How did he know that Ke Yuxiao would be such a lunatic? !
If he knew this earlier, why would he choose to cooperate with Tao Hong? !
Starting from choosing to stand in the Taohong team, the pastor directly abandoned everyone, and Ke Yuxiao even sacrificed his own life for another. These behaviors seemed to Xu Yang to be simply unimaginable, and he could never understand.
At this moment, he was so regretful that he was about to vomit blood, but he couldn't turn back time, and all regrets were in vain.
He could only temporarily forget all regrets, including the pain and hatred related to his sister's death.
He shivered his shoulders, then forced himself to raise his head, and squeezed out a smile towards the hidden knife in front of him.
Looking at Yindao, Xu Yang said: "I just chose to stand with Taohong at the stage of the wristband. But I haven't joined their army yet. There are still many of my people outside!
"When I go out, I will lead everyone to join Wushuang. At that time, our territory, props, and legion treasury will all be dedicated to the Peerless Legion. Is this okay?
"I beg you... please let me go!"
Glancing at the cronies beside him, he clenched his back molars tightly, exhaled, and Xu Yang said again: "Three people need to die to pass the level. You see, one Ke Yuxiao and one Bai Zhou have already died. You just need to die again." Killing one is enough! You...you don't need to kill us both..."
On the side, when the confidant heard this, he was still kneeling, but his back suddenly straightened.
Then he felt Xu Yang looking towards him out of the corner of his eye, and said in a begging tone that he had never seen before: "You have always been loyal to me, and you have gone through fire and water for me. I am very touched. So...you are willing to die for me. Right? You exchange my life, okay? I, I... When I truly become a god, I will be the first to resurrect you.
"Your death is only temporary, I will definitely bring you back, you believe me. OK? Do this last thing for me..."
