Ten Days End

Qi Xia walked in the dark tunnel for a while and found that it was a staircase leading down, but the structure was very simple.

The smell here was very strange, and the cross section of the staircase was very neat, as if no one had walked in since it was built.

"What a pity..." Qi Xia touched the wall beside him, with a slightly regretful look on his face, "You cleverly integrated the theory of the five elements into your game, but no one could understand it at all, and even you had to wear a collar to play the game."

After a left turn, the stairs began to climb upwards. Qi Xia touched the wall to confirm the direction, and soon saw a button with a faint green light on the wall in the distance.

He decisively reached out and pressed the button, and the wall in front of him trembled slowly, and then slowly rose.

In front of him was Qiu Shiliu.

"Rat House...?" Qi Xia raised the corner of his mouth, "That really greatly reduced the difficulty of the game."

Qiu Shiliu turned around in shock and looked at Qi Xia holding four fruits and walking out of the wall, and he didn't know what to say.

"You...you came from..."

Qi Xia didn't say anything, just put all four fruits on the table, then opened the door again and walked out.

Time is very tight now. Although Qi Xia has found a way to win, each night is only ten minutes long.

"Hurry up..."

...

The mole sat quietly in the "cat house" for a while, then reached out and took out a slightly faded photo from his suit pocket.

The photo was a photo of a man and a woman. The girl pouted and made a cross-eyed expression, looking particularly lively, while the boy stared at her with a wry smile, his eyes full of pampering.

The mole gently stroked the photo, then carefully placed it on the ground away from himself, as if he was afraid that the explosion of the collar would destroy the photo.

It's not a big deal to have your head blown off, but this photo can't be lost.

"I'm sorry, I've tried many ways, but none of them are a way to survive." The mole said in a low voice, and choked up in a few seconds, "I've thought of all the ways I can think of... but I really can't get out... I don't even have a glimmer of hope..."

The mole looked at the cute girl in the photo with his monster eyes for the last time. He reached out and touched the girl's face in the photo, and then touched his short-haired head, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yes, I can't go back.

Why did I naively think that turning into a big rat with brown hair all over my body would be a closer way to go back?

The original me was always ten days away from escaping from here, but now I am not even a human.

The most ridiculous idea of ​​human beings is to never give up and always have hope.

"Click".

The door of the "Cat House" opened, and the mole slowly stood up, tidied the hair on his head, and then put on a desperate smile again and walked into the corridor.

The five doors in front of him were all locked.

The mole opened the doors one by one from the outside. There was neither a "mouse" nor any fruit inside.

There were only five empty rooms in front of him.

The leader understood the game too quickly. There were six rounds in total. He used one round to verify his guess. In the second round, he completely understood the rules. Now in the third round, all the fruits have been moved back to the "mouse house". In the days to come, the "cat" will not find any fruit or catch a mouse.

The "cat" will starve to death.

"Why is that..." The mole slowly smiled bitterly, "Everyone doesn't want me to live... but I've been trying so hard to live. Am I too willful?"

He moved forward with heavy steps, mechanically opening and closing each door.

"This damn game should have ended long ago..." the mole whispered, "A place where you need to kill others to escape... no one should be able to escape..."

The mole crossed the corridor, only to feel the collar around his neck tighten again, this time making him feel completely suffocated.

Finally, he stopped in front of the door of the "mouse house".

"Dongdongdong".

After a while, a voice came from the door.

"Speak."

The mole slowly raised his head after hearing this and said, "It's over, I'm leaving."

"Oh?" Qi Xia whispered, "Don't play anymore?"

"No need." The mole shook his head, "This is my best ending."

"What do you want to say?" Qi Xia asked again.

"Although it's not appropriate to say this, I have something to ask of you..." said the mole.

Qi Xia looked at the whole person behind him inside the door.The four teammates stood in a neat row, and then said to the mole: "You are obviously asking for help, but now you don't even call the "leader"? "

"No need." The mole said, "I will be killed by the collar after this round. There is a photo in my "cat house". I am afraid of damaging it, so I left it there... Can you please help me put the photo back in my pocket after I die...?"

Hearing that Qi Xia did not respond, the mole said again: "I just want to die with it, so that even if someone sees my bones... at least they know who I am."

"I refuse." Qi Xia said, "That's your own business, there is no need to trouble us."

After hearing this, the mole sighed slightly: "You look like a very good fraudster, but at this moment you are too lazy to even lie to me?"

"I don't need to say nice things to lie to you here." Qi Xia replied, "I don't know you, and I don't know how important the photo is. It is possible that I will tear it up after you die. After all, out of sight, out of mind. "

"You..." The mole smiled bitterly again, "Is it necessary? Since we don't know each other, why do you have to kill me...?"

Qi Xia finally took a serious look at this time, and said through the door: "To be honest, if you continue playing this game, you will die sooner or later, and you will never become "Heaven". "

"Really..." The mole turned around expressionlessly and leaned on the door, "Does joining you mean there will be a way out?"

"Do you know?" Qi Xia asked, "When you find that all roads are dead ends, you must choose to break the wall at the first opportunity."

"I don't think so." The mole replied, "Even if I don't break the wall, there will always be someone who will break the wall. The best way for me is to follow the person who breaks the wall, which saves effort and worry, and can ensure my own safety."

"But you are already in extreme danger." Qi Xia sneered, "I put a gun to your head, and you are not going to break the wall?"
