Go out

This is an ordinary and simple box. In the center of the box, there is a large pool of dark red blood flowing against the wall. There are scattered people lying in the blood. Most of these people are dead, and only one is about to die.

The survivor, who was about to die, was lying on the ground, his body twitched slightly, and a hand that was fished out of the blood was stretched forward, and the index finger and middle finger scratched out a small ripple on the ground.

A pair of feet stepped on the water and approached silently, then a bloody scabbard was lifted up and inserted into the survivor's mangled back, and then, the hand and even the owner of the hand were killed Drive up and down.

Those feet stepped on the red lotus waves, and they bloomed to the center one by one. They grew out of the water, and swayed into buds clustered against the opposite wall.

Extending out the index finger of his left hand, he tapped in the meandering stream of Chixi, put it on the wall, and began to sketch awkwardly and jerkyly with a little hesitation.

Xi Mo was the first to enter this heavily made-up box, and Wen Wen, who came in later, couldn't help falling backwards when she saw the scene in front of her, and immediately turned around and covered An Qianqian's eyes who caught her.

In the silence of the people in front, Zhao Kai, who came last, interrupted the concentrating artist on the opposite side with a scream without hesitation.

The artist only paused for a moment, then continued, humming an unknown tune.

An Qianqian pursed her pale lips in the strong smell of blood, but she didn't push Wenwen's hand, nor did she ask the phrase "what happened".

Zhao Kai finally realized something, stopped shouting, but leaned back against the wall, groped around in a hurry, picked at the tight wall, finally his eyes fell on those corpses, his face was pale, and his voice was hoarse: "It's not, it's not..."

"It's the player who was killed in the last level." Wen Wen also noticed, and she tried her best to finish the sentence calmly, but the hand covering An Qianqian's eyes couldn't help shaking.

The artist seemed to have finished his work, so he stopped humming, turned his head, straightened up, and watched the visitors.

The blood splashed up from her chest, and dripped half of her face from bottom to top. As she turned her head, a drop fell heavily from her chin as soon as it gathered.

She smiled lightly, and greeted politely and enthusiastically: "Yo, here you are."

Wen Wen thought of a possibility almost as soon as she finished speaking, so she looked at Xi Mo warily, and stepped back cautiously to a psychologically safe distance.Seeing this, Zhao Kai also looked at Xi Mo, and pressed himself against the wall.

"Your Majesty." The artist raised his hand and touched his scabbard proudly, with a casual provocative air all over his body: "You know, there are some things that you can't see. Once you see them, you can't forget them. They rot in your heart." .”

Xi Mo didn't move, and called without emotion: "You Ke."

You Ke's lips moved suddenly, but he didn't speak.She seemed to have turned into another person the moment Xi Mo spoke, shy, naive, and humble.

She clenched her hands awkwardly, and then noticed the blood on her hands, so she wiped it on her chest helplessly.

She was like a child who was caught and reprimanded by adults for being mischievous. She put her hands behind her back with little success, lowered her head, and lightly rubbed the soles of her shoes.

Xi Mo took a step forward, and saw what was written in blood on the wall behind her. It was a word: "Xi", and there was more behind it.

Xi Mo took another step forward and saw "Mo" who was blocked by a third.

You Ke suddenly raised her head, looked at her cold and gloomy eyes dripping water, and said word by word: "I hate it."

The scabbard arrived carelessly, throwing a long line of blood droplets in the air.Xi Mo raised his knife to block, and was shocked to take a step back.

Wen Wen and Zhao Kai quickly moved a few steps to the side.

You Ke approached menacingly, making moves to kill him.

Xi Mo couldn't block it, and was quickly forced to a corner. He carefully opened his four fingers holding the knife, and looked at the opponent with good eyes.

You Ke was about to stride forward, but was slipped by the blood on the ground, and suddenly became unstable.Xi Mo took the opportunity to kick the wall to jump up, and at the same time raised the knife with both hands to slash with all his strength.

You Ke hurriedly crossed the sheath to block it, but was pressed so hard that she sat in the pool of blood under her feet.Seeing that the momentum was unabated, Xi Mo suddenly turned and slid towards her neck halfway.You Ke immediately leaned back to dodge, Xi Mo stretched out his hand and pinched the opponent's right hand, then quickly kicked away the scabbard that fell on the ground, and kicked it with his foot.

You Ke lay down directly.Xi Mo immediately leaned over to suppress, lowered her head, and stared into the opponent's eyes.She can even see the two small selves in You Ke's eyes.

Xi Mo paused, turned his head slightly, and looked at the word "Xi Mo" written in blood on the wall next to it, which was blocked by You Ke at first, and after that, there was a clumsy and small red heart.

Xi Mo looked away and looked at You Ke.Ding Dong's music suddenly sounded, and she heard Zhao Kai asking not far away: "Is this the key? Why is it so broken? Can it open the door?"

Wen Wen replied: "It is not necessary to open the door, maybe as long as you take it to the destination."

An Qianqian spoke again: "I hear this is a music box?"

"Yes." After Wenwen finished speaking, Zhao Kai continued: "It's quite delicate. It looks too brittle, so I dare not hold it. Is this made of glass? It's made of glass! Why do I think this Is the tune a bit familiar?"

The discussion of several people came to an abrupt end.Xi Mo thought to herself: Because You Ke hummed just now.

You Ke suddenly struggled violently, ignoring the blade around his neck, trying to escape from the shackles.Xi Mo noticed that You Ke's eyes were wrong, so she immediately withdrew her knife and suppressed it with all her strength.

Then, You Ke seemed to realize that she couldn't break free, so she stopped, but began to tremble all over, and a kind of expected despair slowly appeared in her empty eyes.

Xi Mo watched and let go of her hand.

You Ke didn't escape, but carefully curled up into a ball, and adjusted her body bit by bit until she faced Zhao Kai and the others, and then her eyes also turned in that direction, desperately longing for something.

Xi Mo thought of the hug that You Ke begged her underwater.She bent down and heard You Ke whispering indiscriminately—it was Camus' "The Stranger".

"'He received me in a curtained room, and at his desk there was only one lamp, which illuminated the chair in which he placed me, while he himself sat in darkness.'"

Xi Mo raised her head and looked in Zhao Kai's direction. Wen Wen was holding an open music box with a key inside, which was indeed very broken.

"...'I even wanted to reach out and shake his hand, thankfully I remembered in time that I had killed a man.'"

Xi Mo suddenly thought of something, got up and walked over, and stretched out his hand in the doubtful eyes of the three: "Music box."

Wen Wen took out the key with some hesitation, and handed over the music box after seeing no negative from Xi Mo.

Xi Mo walked back to You Ke with the music box, and put the music box in front of her eyes.

You Ke closed her mouth, looked at the music box, slowly approached it, pressed her forehead against it, and closed her eyes.

She looked sad, full of resistance to being robbed, until Xi Mo closed the box and the music stopped.

When You Ke opened his eyes, he was still dazed for a moment, and his body was inadvertently on guard.

"...I don't know." Xi Mo pondered for a long time, thought about it in her heart, and continued: "I don't know, do you?"

Xi Mo thought a lot and wanted to say something.

The box tilted suddenly.

All the unfixed things slid to one side, Xi Mo immediately pulled You Ke back to the corner, but was unexpectedly hit by You Ke's fist in the waist.She quickly moved a few steps sideways, turned her head and found that You Ke was staring at not far away, trying to crawl over.

The original ground became steeper and steeper, and the blood on the ground gathered and flowed quickly, soaking through the music box and flowing down first.

Xi Mo was pushed away, watching You Ke staggering forward, watching the corners of the music box tumbling with blood stains, watching the corpses falling down faster than it.

Xi Mo only had time to support An Qianqian, who had fainted and fell, when she saw You Ke lying on the ground under the pressure of several corpses, completely covering the handwriting and the red heart that said "Xi Mo", never letting go of a single stroke .

The sound of the music box rolling down stumbling along with the ding ding dong dong music.

At that time, the blood-stained arm wrapped in gauze had just stretched out from the corpse, and it was struggling to reach it.

Xi Mo was still supporting An Qianqian, it seemed that she and You Ke separated thousands of mountains and seas from a few steps away in an instant.

The broken sound did not appear.

Xi Mo squatted down and clutched the gorgeous and fragile little box, and placed it in that thick and colorful hand with preciousness, then thought, she really didn't know.

The hand was trembling, and he clenched what was in it for an instant, the knuckles were turning white, and the veins on the back of the hand were bulging.

After that, several corpses were moved, and a small head protruded from them.You Ke looked at the music box in her hand, her eyes were bloodshot, her pale face and blood stains made her look like a corpse.

Seeing her lower her head, Xi Mo moved her lips, and said in a small and stagnant voice, "Thank you."

Wen Wen walked over with An Qianqian on her back, followed by Zhao Kai.

Xi Mo was about to pull Youke up when she saw the music box smashed by him.

Xi Mo was stunned, but You Ke still lowered his head, slowly crawled out from the pile of corpses, and sat there.

Under the cover of her bangs, she could only see the corner of her mouth hanging slightly, as if she was smiling.She pulled out a roll of paper from the fragments of the music box, unfolded it, and laughed strangely.

Xi Mo took it and looked at it, then frowned and handed it to Wen Wen.Wen Wen took it and looked at Zhao Kai, her face turned pale instantly.

The note read: "Complete reorganization. Death to anyone who touches the key."

"This is a conspiracy!" Wen Wen immediately retorted: "You, you are in collusion!"

Xi Mo frowned and said nothing, Zhao Kai swallowed dryly and said, "Sister Wenwen, is it, is this Rubik's Cube reorganized, we, just..."

"No." Xi Mo shook his head, "These two sentences are parallel, not causal."

Wen Wen tried to calm down, took a few deep breaths, and looked down at the note again, but her hands couldn't stop shaking.

Zhao Kai pursed his mouth and did not speak.

You Ke suddenly smiled at them, got up and got into the hole.

Xi Mo looked back, Wen Wen said: "Aren't you going to help? Or, are you going to kill us here and then go?"

Zhao Kai suddenly looked at Xi Mo in horror: "No, no, no, right?"

Xi Mo shook her head, Wen Wen immediately said: "Aren't you going to kill us?"

Without waiting for an answer, Wen Wen said again: "Then we're leaving, Qianqian is dizzy."

Xi Mo nodded, Wen Wen and Zhao Kai supported An Qianqian to another cave entrance, and finally Wen Wen turned her head and said, "Whether you have cooperated or not, you should know better than us what that You Ke is like."

After the hole was closed, Wen Wen supported An Qianqian to sit down, panting heavily, and took out the key.

Zhao Kai took a few steps back in fear and said, "Sister Wenwen, I wanted to say it just now, why didn't you throw away that key?"

"Why throw it away?" Wen Wen stared at the key and said, "The three of us have already touched it, and it doesn't make any difference if you hold it and throw it away. Besides, you can't trust everything you find from You Ke."

As she said that, she put the key back, took out the note and unfolded it and continued: "Even if the note is true. You know, there are two conditions for customs clearance, and you can't just touch the key."

An Qianqian woke up at this time, Wen Wen asked her if she was not feeling well, An Qianqian shook her head.Zhao Kai asked: "Then what should we do now?"

An Qianqian didn't understand, so she asked, "What happened?"

"Xi Mo said that this is juxtaposition, not cause and effect. Then, completing the reorganization is a task. So, we just don't let them complete the reorganization." Wen Wen opened the map she drew and marked Youke's whereabouts on it. , then got up and said to An Qianqian: "Go! Talk while walking."
