At this moment, Duan Qingni held two sharp daggers in his hands.

He was only thinking whether to stab each of the two smart people next to him, or to stab himself with a backhand.

After all the calculations, it seems that self-killing on the spot is the most cost-effective of all the results.

however……

Duan Qingni thought about it, he was afraid of pain, and he was also afraid of their pain, so he couldn't do anything to anyone.He glanced at Qi Zhou, but he couldn't help it, and turned his troubled eyes to Yu Su, hoping to get a ready-made answer from him.

Yu Su said dumbly: "There is only one left, you choose."

Duan Qingni's throat choked up, a little sad, and she didn't know what to say.

"Ah Qing, I don't want to embarrass you." Qi Zhou said softly, "...you can't bear to kill him, so you can let me do it."

Duan Qingni's eyes moved slightly, and she stood still, silent for a long time.After a while, facing Qi Zhou's outstretched hand, he took a step forward and firmly held it.

Behind him, Yu Su's expression changed suddenly, and his cold face shattered, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

And Qi Zhou's astonished expression also instantly transformed into joy, and the ecstasy of regaining what was lost.

"I knew you wouldn't leave me..."

"I'm sorry, Qi Zhou."

Duan Qingni patted the back of his hand, her voice was very soft, and then she slowly released her strength: "...I can't stay here with you."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Zhou's smile froze suddenly.

"I only represent myself, and I don't want to stay in the dream of memories and stand still." Duan Qingni closed her eyes and said in a concentrated voice.

Qi Zhou: "Ah Qing, you..."

"Whether it's passer-by X or Duan Qingni, my thoughts have never changed." Duan Qingni interrupted him, and said calmly, "Being a complete person, staying away from the cage, getting rid of the shackles... This is what I pursue. freedom of."

Qi Zhou moved his lips, intending to refute something, but he couldn't say anything more.

Because he found sadly that they were not in the same position from the beginning to the end; even if they tried their best to persuade each other, it would be meaningless... No matter which side wins, the forcible bondage of thought is a kind of blasphemy against personal freedom.

Duan Qingni continued: "Qi Zhou, you and I have different wishes and wishes, and I will not force you to complete every journey. But it is about my own destiny, can you... also respect my decision ?”

Until now, Qi Zhou can hardly hear every sentence and every word of Duan Qingni.

His gaze no longer moved, and his eyes were lowered to the abyss, inch by inch cold and hollow.

"it is good."

After a while, Qi Zhou suddenly laughed.He retreated half a step, avoiding a certain distance, and whispered: "Duan Qingni, is this the answer you gave me?"

As soon as Duan Qingni could speak, Qi Zhou turned his wrist suddenly, and the strength of his palm increased dramatically—then there was a loud "bang", and his most cherished plain white mask disappeared in the blink of an eye. The room was torn apart, and the fragments drifted down in the wind, like withered petals resting at the feet.

At the same time, the sky is full of red clouds, and the setting sun is like blood.

From the other end of the wandering dream, there were faint and deafening roars; the ground under his feet began to shake unsteadily, colliding with rows of masks on the stalls, overlapping and swinging, emitting a series of whisper-like chants...

It's like making a last reluctant farewell to this past memory.

"Pray for the week!!"

Duan Qingni called out involuntarily.

The mask is Qi Zhou's most important carry-on.With it, you can travel back and forth in time.

Once it is destroyed by hand, the consequences will be disastrous.

Duan Qingni opened his eyes wide, he could almost clearly see the surrounding streets, tree shadows, brick and stone ground...all the things within reach, the moment the mask shattered, collapsed like bubbles!

——Suddenly a strong wind blows, and the whole picture is blown away, like a weak half-roll of thin paper.

Including Qi Zhou himself, out of the dream of this memory, he could not be separated from Yu Su, so his entire face was shattered, and most of his body also collapsed and disappeared.

With a little half of his consciousness remaining, he tried his best to hold on to the last bit of stubbornness, leaped forward, and charged in the direction of Duan Qingni and Yusu!

"!!!"

Duan Qingni couldn't react in time, Yu Su pulled his shoulders back and forcibly pulled the dagger away to counteract it.

But they all underestimated the powerful suppression brought by Qi Zhou.After the mask is shattered, the time in the scene no longer flows, and tends to be in an unbalanced static state—so much so that the moment the dagger is thrown into the air, the bodies of Duan Qingni and Yu Su have no center of gravity, and they cannot stand due to the sudden loss of strength. stable.

At this moment, Qi Zhou slashed down with his palm, surrounded by the turbulent airflow, with a clang, the dagger flew out easily, and Duan Qingni was rushed tens of feet away in an instant, rolling and hitting the brick floor behind, The back suddenly fell down, as if the bones and meridians of the whole body were about to be shattered and shattered!

"hiss……"

He didn't have time to breathe out the pain, followed by a deafening roar.

Qi Zhou pressed Yu Su's shoulder hard, and the two figures rushed further away, out of sight for a while.There was a burst of sand and rocks flying in the place where it passed, the walls and bricks cracked and splashed, and a large cloud of dark gray mist was suddenly thrown up!

"Since you and I have decided on a different path, I also have the right to choose."

The surroundings of the dream kept collapsing, and Qi Zhou was left with only half of his body broken, with broken five finger joints, but still oppressing Yu Su's throat, he said word by word: "Duan Qingni, don't you just want him? I'll help you take it apart and see It's clear, a bunch of data that can be cleared at any time, how persistent can he be with you?"

"Pray for Zhou!" Duan Qingni's voice became hoarse, her nails were deeply embedded in the ground, "You..."

Qi Zhou's eyes flickered, and a moment before he was about to make a move, a strong force suddenly struck from behind.Before he could react, Yu Su stood up forcefully, ignoring the pressure of time stillness, picked up Qizhou's wrist bone, and threw him violently to the stone wall next to him—in an instant, the fog and gravel splashed together, shaking The sound of roaring is endless!

Qi Zhou has no entity in the first place, and now the remnant body supported by the dream is destroyed, so fragile that it cannot withstand a single blow.

With a slap of Yu Su's palm, the internal energy of his whole body gathered together, and he slapped Qi Zhou until his eyes turned black, his consciousness was shattered, and he almost lost his soul.

However... the backlash from the stillness of time is immeasurable, and resisting rashly is tantamount to going against the sky.After Yu Su struggled like this, he was also strongly impacted by the retrograde movement. At that time, the meridians were broken and the blood flowed back, oppressing every corner of the internal organs.

"..."

He took a step forward, his figure was unstable, and his cuffs were covered with warm scarlet.Duan Qingni's eyes were already blurred, and she didn't have the strength to move forward, she couldn't even yell her name, and her ten fingers rubbed bloody scars.

"For you..." Yu Su looked away and asked with difficulty, "How much is this?"

Qi Zhou sank half of his face into the wall, his eyes narrowed sharply and beat fiercely, his sinister expression was stalemate, but gradually collapsed under Yu Su's pressure.

"In your eyes, I can disappear and be wiped out at any time. I am powerless and can only survive by relying on the main line." Yu Su said in a condensed voice, "Before you said these words, did you ever think that Duan Qingni is the same?"

Qi Zhou's crippled face moved slightly, the hatred in his eyes was still there, but his heart was slashed, causing an indescribable sharp pain.He really wanted to look back, even for a moment, but most of his body was shattered, a broken shell without a skeleton, and no extra movements were allowed.

After Yu Su finished saying this sentence, he also collapsed from exhaustion, supported by the wall behind him, so that he could barely stand firm in front of Qi Zhou.

"..."

Qi Zhou opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to refute something, but he didn't seize the last chance,

At this time, the sky above the entire dreamland trembled suddenly, and from the cracks where the red clouds gathered and dispersed, a heavy and mechanical voice slowly came out:

【……Time is up. 】

The three froze at the same time, and looked over as expected.

404 appeared out of thin air, and walked out from the sky full of light and shadow, dazzlingly bright.He was still wearing Liu Ruxing's skin, holding a stack of documents in his arms, his clothes were neat and spotless, and he had a dignified image of being able to do a job with ease.

It formed a stark contrast with the other three who were in a state of distress and fought to the death.

404 let out a sigh, looked at Duan Qingni, said helplessly and regretfully: "Mr. X, the passer-by, it's time to say goodbye, should we start our journey?"

"404, you liar!"

As soon as Duan Qingni saw him, he came up angrily: "You fucking, this is also called giving me time, so you don't have any regrets?"

404 asked in surprise: "It's strange, didn't I give you time? You guys started the fight yourself, and you didn't finish what you had to say, so can you blame me?"

"You... cough... cough, cough cough... cough..."

Duan Qingni was short of breath for a moment, her eyes went dark, she suppressed all the curse words, and suddenly coughed non-stop.

"Don't worry, Mr. X, passer-by. I'm just a data manager. After completing this work, the port of this book will be completely closed." 404 said, "At that time, no one will remember who, and in the future it will not See you again, there is no such thing as regret."

For 404's work, these so-called characters in the book are nothing more than pawns that can be moved at will - a carrot and a hole, and it's just a step-by-step procedure.Even if they have self-awareness for a short time, when the main line of a story ends, they stop at the end and stop moving.

And 404's task is to be responsible for supervising this main storyline, to ensure that it ends smoothly with no mistakes.

——If it weren't for the accident of "Jian Xian" and another book, the appearance of passer-by X caused the plot of the villain Yusu to collapse, and it would never start again, and go through countless reversion cycles.

Especially now, too many retracements have caused Qi Zhou to have such a big data loophole.

404 just felt a headache.He sighed, walked slowly to the wall, looked at the dissipated half of Qi Zhou's body, and said indifferently: "Oh, let's start with you..."

Qi Zhou's eyes trembled, and he turned to one side in despair, trying to escape back to Yu Su's body, but was restrained by 404.

"What are you running for? You are the one who should be accepted." 404 said, took out a blank form from the file bag, and covered Qi Zhou's face with his backhand.

[Number: Vulnerability X

Book: "Tired Fairy"

Processing method: Garbage data, non-recyclable, shredded processing]

A dense string of black characters continuously emerged from the top of the white paper.

At the same time, the speed of Qi Zhou's disappearance was getting faster and faster. With the gradual improvement of the form collection, even his last consciousness was wiped out bit by bit.

——What is even more sad is that the remaining sense organs of the whole body are still there, and the severe pain of data destruction is like a fire burning, forcibly tearing down every inch of the past memory from the heart, and finally throwing it to an unknown corner and crushing it .

Qi Zhou didn't close his eyes, he stared at the world, at Yu Su beside him, and at the condescending 404 with eyes of hatred.If there is still a chance to make a comeback, he must, must, let all of them suffer this unforgetable great pain, especially the person he loves the most and is also the least understood...

However, in the next moment, the white paper suddenly moved away, and the dim vision became brighter.

Before Qi Zhou came back to his senses, 404 chaotic exclamations suddenly came from his ears, the form was blown into the sky by the wind, and Yu Su vaguely heard a familiar name——Qi Zhou raised his eyes at first glance , seeing Duan Qingni pounce up at some point, and hit 404's lower back with his arm, there was a muffled bang!

Although the force wasn't that great, but Liu Ruxing's body was thin and weak, and he bumped it all at once, and all the files in his arms fell to the ground, and when the wind blew, they all scattered, and one by one was flying all over the sky. , like an overwhelming snowstorm.

"Are you crazy?!" 404 almost choked, "There are other books in there, don't..."

Hiss hiss hiss hiss——

In front of 404, Duan Qingni picked up a few sheets at random, folded them together, tore them into strips, and kneaded them into several big lumps with all his strength.

404 stayed there for a few seconds, and his face changed instantly, as if he had eaten more than a dozen catties of soil raw, his whole body was enveloped in a black air that was on the verge of collapse.

"Not yet? I don't want you bastard..." Before the 404 attack, Duan Qingni raised his hand abruptly, and the paper lumps hit him in the face, scattered like pickles, "You are the trash, Not recyclable!"

"you……"

Just as 404 was about to say something, Duan Qingni didn't give him a chance, and immediately rolled up a thick pile, and slapped him, half of his cheeks twitched, and both ears buzzed non-stop!

"Are there any other books?" Duan Qingni slapped her hand and asked, "Are there many?"

404's head is full of melon seeds, these slaps came too suddenly, there is no time to react.Duan Qingni tore up the paper in his hand, stuffed it into 404's mouth, pinched his chin, shook it again and again: "You were a liar in other books, did someone beat you like that?"

404's eyes were wet, and he couldn't speak. Just about to fight back, the back injury from being bumped felt a sharp pain, and then he fell down with a distorted expression, almost going crazy.

"No, right?" Duan Qingni slapped him again, and said for him, "...then you remember, I was the first."

—— Not far behind, Qi Zhou's eyes were half dark and half blurred, his consciousness was already in chaos, and he was completely awakened by this blow.

Duan Qingni didn't have much strength left, he moved over from the brick floor, his nails were broken and turned outwards, his palms and arms were all worn out with red marks.

At that time, the dream was shattered, time stood still, and the power of backlash was like a torrent, pressing hard on that thin and slender body, irresistible.

That is a powerful resistance that no ordinary person can resist.But for a brief moment, Qi Zhou seemed to suddenly understand the true meaning of Yu Sucai's words.

Duan Qingni is free and easy by nature and prefers freedom, like an unfettered wild wind.He seems arrogant and conceited, but in fact he is stubborn and stubborn... just to cover up his hidden fragility.

Qi Zhou experienced all the pain, repeated the same mistakes three times, and was tortured by going back in time.He has his stubbornness and persistence, but he has never understood Duan Qingni's misery for a moment; a living person with a strong sense of self, once imprisoned in the past memories and stops, it is tantamount to an identification with the identity of a pawn , It is also the destruction and weariness of himself and even his soul.

Until now, Qi Zhou finally understood in a trance: why, Duan Qingni would choose Yusu without hesitation.

For two people who are equally confused and afraid of being alone, what he wants is not meaningless survival, but unswerving company until death... that's all, nothing more.

But at this time, it was too late.

"Mr. X, a passer-by...you should stop making trouble for no reason." 404's expression was cold, his face was swollen, and his voice trembled when he spoke.

With a wave of his sleeve, the edge of the dream was instantly broken, and the surrounding setting sun, lamp shadows, and bottomless long brick and stone streets all turned into nothingness in an instant, blending into the endless darkness——

Duan Qingni was still holding on to 404's collar, he didn't see anything clearly, but he saw a strong light coming across, piercing through his heart without a single sound.

"..."

His eyes trembled, his gaze was distracted for a moment, and then slowly focused...

Then he lost strength and fell on his back without any warning. The huge momentum brought by the strong light lifted him up, and he flew out fiercely, like a kite that was unthreaded, and fell back to the ground erratically. Rolled for a good distance.

404 said indifferently: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome. Recycling your data is a simple matter of wasting a piece of paper and closing your eyes."

"Cough...cough cough...cough...cough..."

Duan Qingni lay on the ground, exhaled a breath of cold air, which was stuck in the lung cavity, coughed a few times, and curled up her thin body into a ball.

From the depths of his thin sleeves, a familiar disc-shaped object rolled out with a bang.

That was his axis of fate.

The pointer shook and finally stopped at the 12 position.

This is the end of Duan Qingni.

The moment the pointer moved towards 12, his fingers, toes, hair... including the clothes on his body, began to shatter and dissipate inch by inch like Qizhou's damaged body, and every part turned into tiny mist and sand. sinking into the thick darkness around it, like frost melting in the sun.

It's just the disappearance of a chess piece, it won't turn into a shaped splash.

"Didn't you ask about my job? Let me tell you. I have erased so much data that I can't even count it." 404 bent down and picked up the scattered files on the ground one by one, "For me As far as I'm concerned, dealing with a small person like you is as easy as crushing an ant..."

His words were not finished.

For a brief moment, Qi Zhou's pupils constricted, almost supporting the broken shell, breaking through the darkness and rushing towards Duan Qingni.

But at the same time, someone is faster and more determined than him, just because of that powerful heart, passing through the stillness of time, thousands of obstacles, resisting countless times of forgetting, and desperately pursuing the lonely soul of another person... Hold him up and place him in the warmest sheltered harbor, so that he will no longer wander or be confused in the future.

At the very moment, Yu Su jumped forward and grabbed one of those files with his hands. Just before 404 raised his head, his five fingers gathered strength suddenly, and the strong wind of his palm carried the snow-white paper——

There was a bang, a loud bang.

Impartiality, it is covering the forehead of 404!

404: "!!!"

"Yu, Yusu?!" Duan Qingni's eyes widened.

I saw that the file paper was not completely blank, but a series of dense text forms.

A person's name was clearly printed on it.

【Willow, such as, star】

"Hiss...ahhhh!!!"

404 The canthus of the eyes were completely cracked, the facial features collapsed at that moment, and the facial expression was distorted to the extreme!

He was right.Dealing with any character is as easy as crushing an ant.

All you need is a file, the presence of the person, and the easiest skin-to-skin contact to achieve the purpose of data recovery.

And such recycling is irreversible, usually crushing and direct destruction.

14 years ago, at Jingzhe Villa. 404 shattered Duan Qingni's body in the same way, so that Yusu rummaged through more than 300 corpses, and the year after year of yearning became a demon. The pain went to the end, and the road was full of heart-piercing loneliness...

But at this moment, Yu Su slapped out a palm without any hesitation.

This huge torment of being played with by applause, wanton destruction, and breaking up and reorganizing fate is all given back to 404 himself, without reservation.

"..."

Yu Su trembled slightly, wanting to say something, but remained silent as usual.

The corners of his eyes, around his lips, behind his ears, and all corners of his body are oozing blood. Now he is traveling in a still time, and all the meridians of his bones are cracked. Every time he walks, he can hear a clear and dull vibration. Stronger and fiercer than a heartbeat.

However, the footsteps never stopped, the body continued to move forward according to the inertia, picked up Duan Qingni horizontally, hugged it into his arms, and rushed a long distance one after another!

Yu Su wanted to take him out of this darkness.

After all, he failed and fell down... Fortunately, Duan Qingni had support, pressed against Yu Su's chest, and his breathing was still warm.

"Duan Qingni." Yu Su called him hoarsely.

no respond.

Duan Qingni's eyes were closed tightly, her pale profile was melting and falling apart, her skin seemed to be covered with a layer of halo; her facial features were sharp and angular, all softened, like a cloud of snow at the time of her first lips.

"Duan Qingni..."

Yu Su couldn't cry anymore, struggling, trying to hug him up.They walked a little longer, and they could go a little farther, leaving this cold place.

Suddenly felt a chill in the wrist bone.

Duan Qingni raised her knuckles and quietly took Yusu's hand.He frowned and said softly, "Don't go."

Yusu's cuffs were covered in blood, and it felt half-cold to the touch.Duan Qingni said: "Yu Su, stay with me..."

Yu Su didn't say a word, and looked down at him, his eyes gradually becoming dull.

He was not a talkative person, his physical strength was exhausted to the limit, and he didn't feel much pain... The only thing he could feel was Duan Qingni pulling him, with five distinct fingers.That hand is slender and soft, and it doesn't take much effort to hold it, but it seems to take a long life.

For a moment, Duan Qingni suddenly regretted it.

In his life, he has experienced too much, and he can't count the things he has forgotten.Although I live with a clear distinction between love and hate, in fact, when it comes to reckoning, I don't have much hate, and I don't dare to say love out loud.

The only thing I regret is that when I met Yu Su, I didn't tell him as soon as possible... I like you.

Duan Qingni opened her eyes, her thin lips moved slightly, and struggled to squeeze out the broken syllable...but Yu Su stretched out her finger and gently resisted it.That is the body temperature of two people, they are very close, their eyes are facing each other, their heartbeat and breathing overlap, and they are inseparable from each other.

It turns out...it doesn't need too many voices of approval to love someone silently.

Meanwhile, the dark distance.

404's figure flickered twice.He couldn't stand still, looking down at the white papers all over the floor, his thoughts were in a state of confusion, his distorted body collapsed due to Yu Su's palm, and the entire bracket was in a state of complete scrapping, unable to support his next move at all.

There was a large area of ​​darkness around, and the vision was also blurred.

No one helped him, and no one took him away, lying alone on the waste paper, unable to complete even the most basic struggle.

No, can't, absolutely can't.

404 almost thought in horror, once Liu Ruxing's body disappears, the entire main line collapses, which means that the world in the book will also lose its support... All of them will be trapped here until they disappear!

At this time, there is a breeze floating on the ground.

Among the countless waste papers, residues, and crumpled file forms, another object floated up, and with a mysterious and unknown force, it was reshaped and gathered one by one in the midair.

It was a clean, white, uninked paper mask.

404 held his breath, his face twitched, and he collapsed hastily in the pile of papers, not daring to say anything.

"Hey, make a deal."

said the man behind the mask.

The author has something to say: Today is a long time late! !But... I am six days old hahaha~

I didn't want to cut off the important plot, so I released it together.

Tomorrow should be able to write a happy reunion! 404 will receive super punishment!
