Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Chapter 18 Apple Paradise 18

Completed the transformation within 15 minutes, turned into a fish-like monster, lost his sanity for a short time, and experienced the pain that Yibo experienced...

Now that everything is over, rationality returns, and all the pain in the body disappears, Zhou Qian is about to face the final test - to survive Yibo's attack.

But Zhou Qian's consciousness still seems to be scattered.

He was trapped in a certain long-standing nightmare that he could not let go of until now.

So much so that when his jaw was pinched by a god with a strong killing intent, he stared closely at the eyes of the person in front of him, and actually uttered accusation-like words in a deep voice——

"Bai Zhou, you are a coward!"

"I will hate you. I will hate you forever!"

In the end, what really woke Zhou Qian up was a few lines of system prompts.

【warn!The player Zhou Qian is about to be attacked by the Great God Yibo! 】

[Judging by the system, the player Zhou Qian is completely powerless to resist! 】

[Player Zhou Qian, the system will prepare an ordinary cemetery for you, you can go there with peace of mind.If you spend 300 gold coins, you can upgrade to an advanced cemetery. If your balance is insufficient, the system will provide you with hospice care services. Now you can enable the funeral donation function——]

After quickly understanding his situation, Zhou Qian looked into the eyes of Yibo who was close at hand through his sweaty hair.

Those were a pair of clear and clean eyes, extremely beautiful, reminding him of blue star-like scales.

But at the same time, those eyes were very cold, revealing a merciless killing intent.

Zhou Qian saw his own reflection in his beautiful eyes, as well as his extremely bad situation.

A powerful god, the killing intent has been brewing to the extreme.

At the very moment, Zhou Qian poked his fingers out of the bag, and there was a black pill inside.

Smiling slightly at Yibo, Zhou Qian turned his head slightly, put his lips next to his ear, and then said softly: "Da Lang, it's time to take medicine."

Yi Bo: "..."

After a while.God Yibo obediently took the black pill from Zhou Qian's hand and ate it.

Immediately, he froze.

A loud bang.

The time limit of one hour came.

The door to Apple Paradise finally opened.

Panting for breath, Zhou Qian got up from the ground, looked at the open door from a distance, and said to the three stunned teammates beside him: "This medicine can immobilize him for 3 minutes. Let's leave now!"

·

In the paradise, the huge apple tree is full of red and extremely attractive apples.Under the apple tree, there is a field of snow-white fallen flowers.

There was a wind in the palace, blowing the shadows of the trees, and the fallen flowers fluttering like snow, but the blue lake in front of the giant tree didn't even have a single wave, as if the entire lake was made of crystal.

The surface of the lake is so calm, just like Yibo's eyes.

The God Yibo, who is so beautiful that people can't help but marvel, hovers in mid-air under the entanglement of branches and leaves and the effect of medicine.

His mirror-like eyes are watching a group of players leave.

He watched helplessly, watching them stepping on the snow-colored fallen flowers, stepping over the crystal bridge, and rushing into a blue apple grove, and finally rushing to the door that was just opened, never turning back...

·

The four players ran desperately towards the gate of the palace.

Zhou Qian was exhausted at first, and in the end he was almost lifted up by Qi Liuxing and Gao Shan to run.

When the distance from the gate was 30 meters, the time limit of 3 minutes ended, and Zhou Qianneng felt a gust of wind behind him—I don’t know if it was the great god Yibo who was trying to teleport him there, or the great god himself appeared behind him.

Zhou Qian didn't bother to look back at all.

"Three two one jump!"

He commanded loudly, and the three teammates dragged him to jump up, and fell out of the palace in unison!

[The player successfully clears "Apple Paradise" and gets a treasure chest, which can be opened to get random props]

[Players who achieve hidden achievements will receive special rewards, please wait for the ending animation]

[Player Zhou Qian successfully "turned into a god" and achieved the ultimate hidden achievement]

……

Along with line after line of prompts, a treasure chest appeared in front of each of the four players.

They all put away the treasure chest for the time being, and did not open it immediately.

Because there is still an end animation that hasn't finished playing yet.

Looking back, they looked towards the gate of the palace together, and found that the entire paradise was undergoing tremendous changes—the gate, stone pillars, and countless apple trees were all twisting and tilting towards the ground, and eventually fell into the soil and turned into branches Part of it, and then crawled towards the center of the paradise like a snake...

As for the azure blue lake that had always been calm before, suddenly there was a huge storm, and amidst the turbulent waves, the blue lake turned dark red.The bloody torrent gathered into a huge wave that soared into the sky, and then poured down into the bottom of the giant tree's rhizome.

The giant tree seems to be able to breathe, but in an instant, it has swallowed up the lake water.

Probably the lake water was originally the blood flowing in the stems and leaves of the giant tree.

It seems that everything in the paradise is a part of the giant tree, or Yibo.

Now the phantoms are gone, and they all return to the original.

The giant tree became even bigger, with countless branches trembling among it. From a distance, it looked like a monster with countless tentacles.

And the central position of this monster is the Great God Yibo.

His long hair and green branches and leaves wrapped around his clean and slender body.

He hovered in mid-air, bending down to look at the world with the posture of a god.

Kneeling in front of him now are the two goddesses in white dresses.

They no longer smiled innocently and romantically, their expressions were full of fear, and they were trembling all over.

At this moment, since the player has already cleared the level, of course he can watch everything up close.

So they walked to the original central location of the paradise.

Seeing the scene of kneeling down to the goddess from a distance, Yun Xiangrong couldn't help saying: "The goddess is lying. They are definitely not gods who eat apples and turn into gods. Otherwise, they would have been killed long ago just like believers. They are just coaxing, Tempting believers! By the way—”

Gao Shan took her words and said: "I remember! Adam and Eve were warned by God not to eat the forbidden fruit. But they were lured by the devil snake, and they finally ate the forbidden fruit and were expelled from the Garden of Eden. And the devil snake is actually... …yes……"

"It's the incarnation of Satan."

When Zhou Qian took this sentence, the two goddesses fell to the ground and writhed in pain.

Afterwards, Yi Bo sighed softly, and they turned into flying ashes.

God created angels, but angels tried to usurp his position and fell into the devil Satan.

Corresponding to the story of this dungeon, the great god Yibo created the goddess, but the goddess gave birth to evil.

They lure humans to eat apples and become gods.What's next?Will they unite the disciples of Huashen to deal with the Great God Yibo?

While matching the meanings of various images with the legends one by one, Zhou Qian found that Yi Bo in midair turned his head and looked in the direction of the four players.

Raising his hand, Yi Bo waved lightly, and there was a matchbox-like object floating in front of each of the four players.

After Zhou Qian took it and opened it, he found that it was indeed a matchbox, and there were actually several matches inside.

Raising his head, Zhou Qian looked at Yi Bo and asked, "Is this our reward for completing the hidden mission?"

Covered by branches and leaves, Yibo's expression is hidden in the shadow cast by the paper, so it looks a little unpredictable.

He looked at Zhou Qian, and just said: "God said that there must be light, so there will be light in this world. Now, God bestows on you -'fire'."

[The player gets the item: Tinder]

[Description of function:? 】

【grade:? 】

Such prompts came from the system panels of the four players at the same time.

Since they didn't understand the function of [Tinder] at all, the players were extremely confused, but they were all thinking about one thing - Zhou Qian had obtained the ultimate hidden achievement, what would be his special reward?

Everyone looked at the Great God Yibo who was in mid-air.

Yi Bo in mid-air tilted his head slightly, looking down at Zhou Qian in the crowd.

He raised his right hand, with slender fingers, but extraordinarily powerful.

Not long ago, he put this hand on Zhou Qian's neck, intending to kill him.Now he used his hand again, but it actually penetrated his chest directly and entered the inside of his body.

Blood dripped down his pale hands and body.

But his eyes were still indifferent, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.

Finally, he broke off a rib alive and took it out.

The giant tree disappeared in place together with Yi Bo, and then teleported to Zhou Qian.

Leaning down, Yi Bo handed the bloody rib to a place where Zhou Qian could reach out and touch it.

"Take it."

These two words rang in Zhou Qian's ears, but they seemed to come from the sky.

The first human being created by God was called Adam.

In case he was too lonely, God took another rib from him and turned it into his wife Eve.

Now Yibo also took away one of his ribs, made it into a weapon and gave it to Zhou Qian.

Lifting his eyelids, Zhou Qian saw the palm covered with bright red blood, and the rib wrapped in thick blood.

"This gift is quite special." Zhou Qian smiled, and then said, "Wait for me for a while."

Yi Bo didn't say anything.

Everyone else: ? ? ?

Seeing that Zhou Qian took out a tissue from his luggage and wrapped it around his palm, he reluctantly accepted the rib.

Everyone: "..."

——Your cleanliness is a bit too much, isn't it? !

After receiving such a bloody and strange reward, Zhou Qian asked Yi Bo while wiping the blood with a paper towel: "God's rib... Could it become a girl, like Eve? I don't want a wife, I want a weapon." .Can it be used as a weapon?"

The system panel replaced Yibo's answer.

[Player Zhou Qian's level: F→D]

【Health Points: 300→2000】

【Skill value: 300→2000】

[Initial skill points: 100]

[Suggested development skills: agility, control]

[Acquired Weapon: Rib of God]

[Weapon function: D-level players can only unlock one function - slow down the flow of time; range: 10㎡; other functions to be unlocked]

·

In the mountains and fields, dusk has fallen.

After wiping his ribs clean, Zhou Qian raised his head and looked at Yi Po who seemed to be about to turn around and leave.

"Are you just data, or a real person?" Zhou Qian asked again.

Yi Bo turned his head to the side, his emotionless eyes met Zhou Qian's gaze, as if he still didn't understand what he was talking about.

Zhou Qian raised his right hand, and what wrapped around his index finger was a strand of Yi Bo's hair.

"Can I see you again? Yibo."

Yi Bo still didn't answer his words.

So Zhou Qian asked again: "So at the end of this story... what is your ending? Will you leave forever?"

"Yes, I will leave forever."

God passed by a land and found that humans lived here. They were backward, poor, and without any special skills.

God is willing to bestow favors and satisfy the wishes of mankind, as long as people are willing to believe in him and become his believers.

People in the world think that God must not be selfless, and there must be a conspiracy behind the grace he bestows.

But the world is wrong, God has no plan.

Human power is too small for him, too small for him to use.

God exerted the purest kindness to human beings, and also won the most pious belief.

But because it is so easy to get, believers take God's grace for granted.

Therefore, when one day, the power of God diminished and could no longer satisfy the wishes of the believers, he began to be hated by the believers.

In order for believers to vent their hatred, God is willing to let them hurt themselves.

But God's favor ends here.

When the believers push forward and want to become a god, want to possess his power, and even stand side by side with him...

God has murderous intentions.

"So you hate humans, hate us?" Zhou Qian asked again.

When Zhou Qian asked this question, he certainly didn't mean to be really curious about Yibo's thoughts.

It wasn't even his intention to try to see if he could dig deeper into the plot, or trigger other hidden sidelines.

His main purpose is to find the real background of this game.

The level design of the game can reflect the character of the designer behind the game.

So, can the dungeon plot in the game also reflect the selfishness of the designer?

To be able to build such a huge game world, this kind of power must be beyond the scope of human comprehension.

Then, like Yibo in this story, is the game designer also a god?

If he is really a god, what is his purpose in designing games?

Will he hate human beings like Yibo?

Will he, as the name Epoh suggests, deprive humanity of hope?

Looking down at Zhou Qian from mid-air, Yi Bo said indifferently: "Humans are not worthy of God's hatred, he is just disappointed. He is disappointed with humans and this land. So he chose to leave. God abandoned humans and this land. "

Sometimes the opposite of hope is not despair, but disappointment.

Zhou Qian raised his head, and there were tiny spots of light in the depths of his eyes, which were the sparks reflected in his eyes.

Looking at Yibo with these eyes, Zhou Qian said, "I still have questions to ask you.

"You just said... God is selflessly exerting goodwill on human beings. I don't think so. You fulfilled Li Dafu's wish, but you killed a little boy. What's wrong with the little boy?"

Yi Bo replied indifferently: "God only cares about his believers."

"Oh, because the little boy didn't believe in you, so his life and death don't matter to you? Li Dafu committed crimes, so you don't care if such a villain is your believer?"

Zhou Qian's long and narrow eye sockets narrowed, his eyes looked very oppressive.

"Actually, human life or death, good or evil, are not important to me."

Yi Bo looked at Zhou Qian without a trace of pity on his face. "Do you care if an ant is good or evil?"

After finishing speaking, the branches that trembled like tentacles all over the sky closed together, completely enveloping Yi Bo's body.

Immediately, the giant tree soared into the sky and reached the sky in an instant, like a retrograde meteor returning from the earth to the sky, and finally disappeared completely in the vast night.

The earth was vast.The magnificent palace disappeared, as if it had never existed.

This land has since been abandoned by the gods.

Shino fell into silence, and all the backgrounds were slowly fading away.

This means that the end-credits animation will disappear, and players will return to reality.

Still looking at the original location of the palace, Zhou Qian heard Yun Xiangrong ask himself: "Why did you ask him that question? I always feel that you don't look like..."

Zhou Qian noticed that Gao Shan was also looking at him.

It seemed that they all felt that they didn't seem like people who would care about the life and death of a little boy NPC at all.

"Probably because—" Zhou Qian said calmly, "I almost fell into the same situation as him."

The three people who heard this were obviously a little shocked, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Zhou Qian looked up at the black sky that had almost faded to transparency.

"I am very satisfied with Yibo's answer, and it should be like this. When you are in trouble, no one will come to rescue you. Don't even think about begging the so-called gods. No one cares about your good or evil, or life and death. Except yourself."

·

When the player logs out of the game, all visuals disappear completely.

In a pitch-dark environment, Zhou Qian found a little light coming from his body.

When he looked down, he realized that he was belated - he is still the appearance after "transformation", he is a monster that looks like a human but not a human.

As for the source of the light, it lies in the scales on his body.

The scales shining like stars in the deep sea inevitably reminded him of that night when he was dying, and the dragon that came towards him through the maze.

In a daze, Zhou Qian noticed that the webs on his hands were slowly disappearing, and the luster of most of the scales gradually faded away.

As the part of logging out of the game is about to be completed, he is slowly returning to the appearance of a normal human outside the game.

Finally, with a "ding" sound, three scales fell to the ground.

Zhou Qian picked them up, the darkness disappeared completely, and he returned to the ward.

[Player Zhou Qian got an item: Scale of God]

[Function description: The shiny scales come from monsters that the system has never seen before. What kind of human beings grow such glowing scales out of what kind of obsession?Small scales, great effect, it can become a little dragon that is completely controlled by the player, [-]% obeys the master's words, used to play pranks on people, or as a cute ornament, it is a very good choice! 】

[Note 1: The little dragon transformed into scales was born from a living player, so in appearance, it has similar vital signs to the player. Want to let it sneak up on someone to carry out an assassination?The system advises you to dismiss this idea, because it is easy to spot!It does not have attack power, nor does it have any skills]

[Note 2: Scales are consumables, and the little dragon transformed from each scale can only exist for 24 hours; please cherish the time spent with the little dragon]

·

Spring Hill Mental Hospital, Ward 302, Ward [-].

Zhou Qian left the game and found himself lying on the hospital bed.

Picking up the mobile phone on the bedside table and checking the time, it was only 8:10 in the evening.

It was 8:10 PM when he left, and after hours in the game, only [-] minutes had passed before he came back to reality.

After leaving the game, the pain on his body has all disappeared.

But the loss of mental power is huge.

Zhou Qian felt very tired. After taking a bath, he lay down again.

But he couldn't sleep.

Once he closes his eyes, he sees the colorful dream, and the lingering scales and dragons.Otherwise, it is the sycamore path where the boy left.

The boy waved his hand and said "goodbye" to him like saying goodbye after school, but we never saw each other again...

Turning over, Zhou Qian opened the bedside table, found the sleeping pill that Li Xuehai had prescribed for him earlier, and took a piece of it, before he finally fell asleep.

Zhou Qian slept until noon the next day.

After getting up and washing up, he went to the cafeteria in Ward No. [-].

He glanced at the lunch in the cafeteria with disgust, but he left without taking anything.

Back in the ward, I opened the system panel, and found that the gold coin rewards for clearing "Apple Paradise" had already arrived, and there were 600 gold coins.

According to the system, one gold coin can be exchanged for 1 yuan.

Zhou Qian tried to exchange 3 yuan, and after success, he quickly picked up his mobile phone and called the star hotel he used to frequent.

The person who answered the phone was a manager who was familiar with Zhou Qian.

After hearing that Zhou Qian was here, he was a little embarrassed: "But you are bankrupt, that..."

Zhou Qian directly threw the money over. "Look at your WeChat."

"Hey! I'll deliver it to you right away!"

"As for the dishes, you can arrange them for me, remember my habits?"

"Remember!" the manager replied professionally, "You don't eat onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, celery, cumin, star anise, fish with spines and shrimps without shells. Right?"

"Correct."

after an hour.Zhou Qian had a luxurious lunch in the ward.

When Li Xuehai came to make the ward rounds, he bumped into him drinking coffee.

Pushing open the door and walking in, Li Xuehai saw the messy cups and dishes in the ward at a glance.

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Li Xuehai managed to maintain the serious expression of the veteran cadre: "You should drink less of coffee. This kind of thing stimulates nerves—"

Zhou Qian looked at him with a smile, but asked curiously: "Doctor Li, what will happen if I take coffee and sleeping pills at the same time?"

Li Xuehai: "..."

Walking up to Zhou Qian with a straight face, Li Xuehai took out the notepad he carried with him, and asked a few questions routinely, such as how he slept at night, did he feel uncomfortable anywhere, and when did he feel out of sorts? , feel irritable, etc.

Zhou Qian pretended to be good, and answered all the questions honestly. After Li Xuehai finished recording, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked him: "By the way... Doctor, why did you come to the ward round this afternoon?"

Li Xuehai frowned and said, "Something happened. The hospital leader urgently called us for a meeting. I didn't take care of a patient with mild condition like you."

Zhou Qian asked him again: "What happened?"

Li Xuehai put the notebook with records of ward rounds at the foot of the bed, walked to the window with deep frown, put his hands on the window frame and sighed. "Two patients died in Area B yesterday. One committed suicide by jumping off a building, and the other died suddenly."

Behind Li Xuehai, Zhou Qian's expression became more serious. "Those two people... what are their names?"

"Wang Lu, Dong Xiang." After Li Xuehai finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhou Qian, as if he had caught something sensitively, "Aren't you always not interested in other people's affairs? Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Zhou Qian replied: "No, it seems that you don't know me well enough, but I'm actually quite interested."

Li Xuehai: "..."

Zhou Qian asked again: "Have many people died in the hospital recently?"

"Except for the two sudden incidents last night... the rest of the time is pretty normal. The first ward is fine, but the patients in the second ward and the X area are getting more and more serious. Some people try their best to commit suicide. Sometimes No matter how strictly controlled the management is, there will inevitably be omissions—" Li Xuehai frowned, "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Qian yawned and continued drinking coffee.

He and Dong Xiang are both from the Spring Mountain Mental Hospital, and they both appeared in the game. This incident is definitely not accidental; and when he made insinuations in the game, when Qi Liuxing mentioned that they were both mentally ill, there was no rebuttal , which means he guessed right.

So far, it looks like the game is screening players from mental institutions.

For the time being, the strange death cases in the Spring Mountain Mental Hospital did not occur on a large scale, which means that the game has just begun to infect this hospital not long ago, and there are not many patients implicated here.

He thought a lot in his heart, but on the face Zhou Qian was just chatting with Li Xue Haidong.

When Li Xuehai wanted to say something, Zhou Qian said, "Hey, why are you wearing the same pants as yesterday? Can you afford many pairs of this brand of pants?", and finally managed to drive him away.

Then Zhou Qian's gaze was placed on the booklet at the foot of the bed.

——Li Xuehai left his ward round records behind.

Driven by curiosity, Zhou Qian stepped forward and picked up the record booklet.

Some kind of keen intuition pierced his brain like a needle, making his temples twitch wildly.

Pressing the painful forehead with one hand, Zhou Qian opened the manual after a slight pause with the other hand.

The manual is actually classified by ward.Which actually includes the most dangerous area X.

——Is Li Xuehai also responsible for the patients in X area?

Zhou Qian frowned slightly, and turned the manual to the relevant records in Area X.

The first page of the X section is a list, recording which patient sleeps in which room.

Looking down little by little, Zhou Qian's eyes turned from curiosity to dignified and shocked, and he couldn't understand it.

Then his pupils almost shrank into a line, and his shoulders, neck, arms, and even his waist and abdomen were all tensed.

He saw the record of a certain line on the list.

——"Number 03X87, Bai Zhou".

·

The faint yellow phoenix tree path appeared in front of Zhou Qian's eyes again.

Time is like water, flowing forward with waves under the breeze, and the trail swayed along with it, going to an earlier afternoon.

Zhou Qian became the third person watching, watching his young self doing homework with the equally young Bai Zhou.

Or to be more precise, Bai Zhou was doing his homework and he planned to copy it.

At that time, the two had just entered the first grade of junior high school.

Outside the window, the wind blows the leaves of the sycamore tree rustling down.

The sound of falling leaves is very similar to Bai Zhou's writing.

"Shusha", "Shusha", "Shusha"...

After an unknown period of time, Bai Zhou closed the homework, and Zhou Qian made a gesture to grab it, but he avoided it.

Zhou Qian poked Bai Zhou with his elbow. "Give me."

"Do it yourself." Bai Zhou's tone was unquestionable.

"I do not know."

"I can teach you."

Zhou Qian was bored and turned to a certain page of his homework. "This question will not."

Bai Zhou took out a piece of calculation paper, while writing down the calculation process, he explained it to Zhou Qian earnestly.

Bai Zhou was writing, so his head was lowered.

Zhou Qian sat up straight, looked sideways, and could see Bai Zhou's drooping eyelashes.

After a while, Bai Zhou asked him, "Do you understand?"

Zhou Qian was absent-minded, reaching out to grab Bai Zhou's eyelashes. "No. I don't understand."

Bai Zhou avoided Zhou Qian's hand, and said in a good temper, "Then I'll tell you again."

Zhou Qian refused to listen, and failed to grab the eyelashes of the person, so he planned to grab the person's hair.

Bai Zhou had no choice but to hold down his wrist, and then stare into his eyes.

At such a young age, Bai Zhou's eyes were already sufficiently intimidating. "Zhou Qian, sit down honestly."

If so, Bai Zhou patiently explained a simple question to Zhou Qian three times.

After three times, Bai Zhou asked him, "Do you understand?"

Zhou Qian continued to shake his head, then looked at Bai Zhou with a smile in his eyes.

——What else does he have to do?

Bai Zhou glanced at him indifferently, then handed over his calculation paper. "That's how it is. You copy my calculation process 10 times first. If you don't understand it after 10 times, copy it 100 times. Quantitative changes will produce qualitative changes. Copy it twice and you will understand. Start copying from now. How late I am with you."

Zhou Qian held his chin and sighed. "Why do you insist on me?"

——Because we have been classmates since the first grade of elementary school?

But Bai Zhou said, "Because of the one-on-one tutoring improvement plan, we were divided into one group. I promised that the teacher will be responsible for you."

Because of some secret past, Zhou Qian was already sick at that time.

When the illness is not attacking, he has a sweet mouth and a high emotional intelligence. He is very good at handling the relationship with his classmates, and he can get along very well with everyone.

But once the disease occurs, it will be difficult for him to control his emotions.

Usually, Zhou Qian has been treated with medicine for a period of time, and he has not encountered any troubles. He has not suffered from illness for a long time.

But even Zhou Qian himself didn't know why that day, when he heard Bai Zhou say that, he became angry, so angry that he couldn't control himself.

Reaching out and grabbing Bai Zhou's neatly written homework, Zhou Qian tore them into pieces.

Shreds of paper flew up like snowflakes, and then fell under the gazes of the two sitting side by side.

After that, Zhou Qian's words were full of malice and ridicule. "Don't rely on yourself as the class monitor and the first age, so you want to control me. In fact, no matter how well the homework is written, no matter how good the exam is, what's the use? Have you ever thought that maybe you can work hard all your life? You can’t afford my house in the city center. No, you can’t even afford one of my toilets.”

After venting his anger indiscriminately, Zhou Qian stared at Bai Zhou and thought to himself—Compared to himself, Bai Zhou's family background is too ordinary, my words should really hit his sore spot, right?He will be angry, angry at me, it is impossible to control me anymore, right?

In fact, it was a long time later that Zhou Qian wanted to understand his motivation for saying those words that day.

He was testing Bai Zhou and his bottom line in an almost pathological way.

——How could there be such a good old man as you?Under the gentle appearance, will you also hide another side that is unknown?

——When I am so bad, you will leave me and let go of me completely?

Zhou Qian didn't do it on purpose.

He just didn't believe that even his parents didn't care about him, but Bai Zhou was willing to care about him.

He who was still very naive once firmly believed that Bai Zhou should stay away from him earlier.Because he and himself are not from the same world at all.

Although Bai Zhou's family background is ordinary, in Zhou Qian's view, he has everything he should have. He has the most ordinary but normal and warm family life, the kind full of noisy fireworks.

But I am different.The Zhou family is only glamorous on the outside, but the inside is already rotten.

Facing what Zhou Qian did, Bai Zhou seemed unmoved in the slightest.

He just got up and went to the balcony to get a broom, cleaned up the scraps of paper meticulously, then returned to his seat and sat down again, picking up a pen to do the questions.

"I started my homework from scratch, and you happened to be with me."

Someday after a long time.

Zhou Qian apologized to Bai Zhou.

The sycamore leaves are still withered and yellow, and the autumn wind and sunshine are as warm as ever.

The same classroom, the same window.

Zhou Qian looked at Bai Zhou in front of him without blinking.

The breeze blew, and the hair on the forehead was blown, revealing Bai Zhou's beautiful eyebrows and eyes - the tip of his eyes was a little red, which was painted on intentionally or unintentionally by Zhou Qian with a red pen when he was fighting with him just now.

"Brother Zhou—" Zhou Qian spoke softly, with a clear rise in the end.

"Huh?" Looking up, Bai Zhou looked at Zhou Qian, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Qian asked him, "Why are you always so gentle?"

Bai Zhou just reached out and patted his head. "Do your homework."

Zhou Qian stared at him and blinked a few times, then suddenly said: "Actually, I didn't mean that last time."

Bai Zhou asked him, "Which time?"

"The time you said you couldn't afford my villa." Zhou Qian blinked again, and said seriously, "I don't know why, but I just wanted to make you angry that day. I can't take my words seriously. If you want, you can You must be able to make a lot of money. You can buy a thousand, no, you can buy 1 of my villa."

Bai Zhou laughed a little: "Why do you always ask me to buy your villa?"

Zhou Qian didn't answer this question, but just asked him for confirmation: "Actually, I usually have a pretty good temper, right? I don't get sick every day...

"Brother Zhou, my mother often calls me a little lunatic. Will you think I'm a lunatic?"

"No." Bai Zhou replied seriously.

"Bai Zhou, are you so gentle and friendly to everyone?"

"Bai Zhou, do you think this world is particularly beautiful?"

"Have you ever felt resentful or dissatisfied?"

"Will you feel that God is unfair to you at a certain moment?"

"Why is there such a perfect person like you in this world?"

"You're so perfect it's unreal."

……

Zhou Qian asked Bai Zhou a lot.

He still remembered Bai Zhou's answer.

And it was probably because Bai Zhou was too perfect that God took his life early.

Those who are strong are easy to break, and those who are too wise die prematurely. It is probably the same reason.

Withdrawing his consciousness from his memories, Zhou Qian looked back at the names on the list in front of him.

what happened?Is it the same name?

·

Three days later.

There is an extra patient in Zhou Qian's ward, and it is Qi Liuxing.

Qi Liuxing originally lived in the Second People's Hospital of the city next door, which is also a mental hospital.

After he came out of the game this time, a new patient entered the ward, and it was inconvenient for him to log in to the system and enter and exit the game through his mobile phone.

He contacted Zhou Qian through the system panel, and learned that he was the only one living in Zhou Qian's ward, so he simply went through the transfer procedures.

The two now live together in Ward 302 of Spring Hill Mental Hospital.

After Qi Liuxing moved here, he wanted to discuss with Zhou Qian which dungeon to go to next time.

But he didn't expect that he was first assigned a task by Zhou Qian - to help him out.

From 2 pm to 6 pm every day, some patients in the No. [-] ward can move outside in the designated area.

So at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Qi Liuxing was called by Zhou Qian under a tree at the edge of the park during the time for a walk.

He watched Zhou Qian climb up the tree, took out a high-powered telescope and looked in one direction.

As for his task, it was to stand under the tree and let Zhou Qian out, so as not to be discovered.

Regarding Zhou Qian's actions, Qi Liuxing was too puzzled. After looking around, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Zhou Qian asked back: "Have you heard of the composition of Chunshan Mental Hospital?"

"Divided into District [-], District [-] and District X? Apart from District [-], the other two districts are in the nature of prisons, right?" Qi Liuxing glanced in the direction Zhou Qian was looking at, "What you are looking at is X district?"

Zhou Qian was indeed looking at Area X.

In that manual, Bai Zhou's serial number is 03X87.

Using the excuse that he had a friend in District X and wanted to visit, Zhou Qian went out of his way to inquire about the situation with a familiar nurse.

The nurse's answer was: "What is your friend's number? If it starts with 01 or 02, there is still hope that you will be found."
