End of ten days

Qi Xia frowned and slowly stood up.

The situation in front of me seems a bit strange.

In his memory, he never remembered that "ants" would actively slap on the windows. Most of them would avoid living people.

Nowadays, there is a bonfire burning in the room. In any case, it does not look like a place where "ants" would enter. So what does this continuous slapping mean?

He looked back at Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin, who were sleeping. They seemed to be very tired and were not awakened by the slaps, so he could only walk to the window to check the situation.

In just two steps, the pale hand slapped the window twice again.

Qi Xia narrowed his gray eyes and looked down. This was the first time he had observed an "ant" at such a close distance.

His appearance is no different from other ants.

The eyes are two dark holes. Because the eyes were gouged out for so long, wrinkled lines have developed around the holes.

His mouth was wide open, and it was obvious that his teeth had been pulled out, only a small part of his tongue was left, and even his nose and ears were cut off. There was no protrusion on the smooth head, resembling a skeleton with a dry face.

There wasn't a hair on his body, just skin clinging to his bones.

At this time, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was open. He raised his head and was "looking at each other" with Qi Xia.

Qi Xia could clearly see that his face was stained with dried blood.

Who would have thought that the most terrifying thing in appearance in the "End Land" would have sufferings that are completely unmatched by others here?

Qi Xia looked at the "ant" in front of him through a glass window. He was not sure whether the other party had a visual system or whether the other party had noticed him.

The "ant" seemed to feel something. He slowly raised his head and made a sound from his open mouth, like an insect chirping.

Then he slowly raised his pale and bony arm. This time he didn't slap the window, but just pressed his dusty palm against the glass window.

Qi Xia was quite amused when she saw his performance, and then stretched out her hand and got close to the glass.

The two hands slowly faced each other through the glass, and for a moment, they retracted their hands at the same time.

Qi Xia felt the biting coldness of the palm on the other side of the glass.

But the "ant" seemed to be burned, and carefully retracted his palm to his chest.

His palms were as cold as a corpse.

"Who are you...?" Qi Xia asked softly.

The "ant"'s eyes continued to widen, and then he tried to reach out his hand again.

Qi Xia knew that the other party probably didn't have a visual system and was just acting based on his senses, so even he wasn't sure what he would touch. The sudden temperature of his palms just now probably shocked him.

Seeing the other party put his hand on the glass again, Qi Xia felt even more curious.

Why is this "ant" different from other "ants"?

What's so special about him?

Thinking of this, Qi Xia reached out her hand again and faced him.

This time the "ant" didn't flinch, and seemed to be feeling the temperature of Qi Xia's palm through the glass.

The expressions on his strange face changed one after another. Unfortunately, he had neither eyes nor other facial features. Qi Xia could not understand the meaning of his strange expressions.

"Are you looking for me?" Qi Xia asked again.

The "ant" kept opening his mouth, and his hoarse throat kept making sounds like crickets rubbing their wings, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Qi Xia thought for a moment, then simply unlocked the window and opened it. The "ant" also retracted his hand the moment he felt the window move.

He really reacted like a bug.

Qi Xia took a step forward, stretched out her hand to hold the window sill, then lowered her head and looked at the "ants" in front of her.

The human-like insect-like creature was lying on the ground outside the window on the first floor. The two of them now didn't even have the only glass partition, but the other party made no other moves. Not only did he not continue to stretch out his hand, he didn't even run away.

"Can't you see me or hear me?" Qi Xia asked.

He only knew that the other party's ears had been cut off, but now it seemed that the entire hearing system had also been destroyed.

The "ant" raised his head and turned around in confusion, then crawled forward.

He was silent for a long time, then tentatively stretched out his hand, and then slowly moved forward.

Qi Xia stared carefully at the "ants" in front of him, feeling something strange that was indescribable all over his body.

If the other party is a person, I can at least infer the other party's motives, but who is the other party now?

Within three seconds, the trembling, pale hand had already reached Qi Xia.

The opponent was now kneeling on the ground, with only one of his broken arms raised high. The scene was indescribably weird.

Qi Xia quietly watched the hand's path and roughly understood the opponent's goal.

He wanted his own eyes.

"Strange..." Qi Xia murmured to himself, "Aren't you looking for "chips"? Why are you aiming at my eyes?"

Seeing the fingers approaching his eyes like frozen firewood, Qi Xia suddenly reached out and grabbed the opponent's wrist.

"Ant" was startled by the hot thing, but could not withdraw his hand for a moment.

His expression changed dramatically, as if he was analyzing the situation in front of him.

"Wait a minute..." Qi Xia said, "I seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding."

The "ant" panicked for a while and then suddenly retracted his hand with great strength. Qi Xia also understood something at this time.

"I misunderstood..." Qi Xia slowly narrowed his eyes and whispered, "I naturally thought that you had become "ants", so you must have lost your mind, but "Qinglong" never said that he had taken the throne. It took away your reason, only destroyed your five senses, and then implanted an "idea" in your mind."

"Ant" stretched out his other hand and rubbed his wrist, as if feeling the hot temperature.

"So you are awake...?"

When he said this, even Qi Xia himself couldn't believe it.

But the other party is clearly able to make actions that the "madman" cannot. They respond to external stimuli and even have their own thoughts and judgments.

"This is really an eye-opener for me. I knew you were living a miserable life, but I didn't expect you were living such a miserable life."

Looking at the "ant" lying on the ground with a constant chatter in his throat, Qi Xia felt a trace of pity in his eyes.

What a pathetic creature is the thing in front of me?

"The "mad people" here have all the senses, but they have no sense." Qi Xia whispered, "But you have been deprived of all five senses, but your thinking is clear...? You are much more miserable than the "mad people" Okay, is this what you get for working for the two of them?"
