Ten Days End

"How should I know?" Qi Xia asked back.

"It's obviously your own "echo" and what you did, but you pretend not to know?" Chu Tianqiu asked.

Qi Xia shook his head helplessly after hearing this: "Chu Tianqiu, don't say I don't know, even the "Sky Snake" can't read my own thoughts."

"Oh...?"

"He is much more sober than me." Qi Xia said.

Chu Tianqiu frowned slightly after hearing this: "So when I wrote these two notes, I was also confused by your thoughts?"

"You have to ask yourself." Qi Xia replied, "I am not you, and I don't know what you are thinking at all. Maybe I didn't hide anything, but you went crazy."

"I... went crazy?" Chu Tianqiu nodded, "That's right, I didn't go crazy after killing Wen Qiaoyun, I went crazy before I killed her."

After saying that, he looked at Qi Xia again and asked: "Then when did you go crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. "Qi Xia replied, "I've never been in such good spirits as I am now."

"I see." Chu Tianqiu laughed, "Real madmen never think they are crazy. It seems that I am a little worse than you."

"You can't say that." Qi Xia shook his head, "You have a natural advantage over me. As long as you are in "Echo", you can become a rational madman, but I can't. If I don't destroy all my psychological defenses and rebuild them with the most terrifying things, I will never reach my current state."

"Destroy all my psychological defenses...?" Chu Tianqiu was slightly stunned, "and rebuild them with the most terrifying things...?"

"That's right."

"Is this something a normal person can do?"

"Are we... still normal people?" Qi Xia asked.

"We..." Chu Tianqiu smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Yes... maybe we are not even considered "humans", right?"

"Yes, no "humans" can get out of here. "Qi Xia said.

"Then how did you destroy your "psychological defense line"? "

"Have you... ever felt fear?" Qi Xia asked again.

"Fear?" Chu Tianqiu thought the word was interesting. He stretched out his slender finger stained with blood and pointed to the dark red sky here, "Qi Xia, do you know why the sky is dark red?"

Qi Xia raised his head: "Because there are the rotting flesh and blood of all the people who have turned into powder in the past few decades."

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpses scattered on the playground: "Then do you know why those people are lying there?"

"Because someone needs them to die, they have to die."

"That's right." Chu Tianqiu said, "This place has neither "common sense" nor "laws", and everyone can kill for their own preferences. We live here to die, but the purpose of our death is to live. Those who want to save you may want you to die, and those who want to kill you may want you to live..."

"That's it. "

"Walking on this sticky land, you asked me if I have ever felt "fear"?" Chu Tianqiu grinned, "Qi Xia, every day I am here, my back is cold and my scalp is numb. I am really scared."

"Oh?"

"But does that work?" Chu Tianqiu shook his head, "Many people put their hopes on me. I can only pretend that everything is fine, pretend to be stronger than anyone else, and then tell everyone that there is hope ahead. I have been wandering in this hellish city, but you asked me if I have ever felt "fear"?"

"But that is far from enough." Qi Xia said, "Just having a cold back and a numb scalp for decades, how can it be considered "fear"?"

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu snorted, turned his head and looked into Qi Xia's eyes and asked, "Then tell me...what is "fear"?"

Qi Xia said expressionlessly, "The fear I am talking about is about people in love."

"Ha. "Chu Tianqiu laughed dumbly after hearing this, "The one you love? The one you love was kidnapped? Or the one you love was killed? Is this a very scary thing for you? Qi Xia, I killed Wen Qiaoyun with my own hands."

Qi Xia took a deep breath and said, "If Wen Qiaoyun was replicated into countless copies uncontrollably, one of the eyes was "giantized" and hung in the sky as the sun, and the others were broken into flesh and bones and recast into a city, her flesh would be paved on the ground, her bones would be cast into walls, and her blood would be gathered into rivers here, and even fish would not be able to breathe in such rivers. And you walk on it every day, and every step you take is stepping on her broken flesh and blood, causing her great pain, and you can smell the smell of rust every day. This cityIt's beating all day long, like a huge living thing, but you don't know how to save her, and she doesn't know how to save you. And Wen Qiaoyun, the only one who can move, pretends that nothing has happened, and makes food for you every day with maggots and her own flesh and blood... How about that? "

Chu Tianqiu fell into silence for a long time after hearing Qi Xia's words.

If what he said was "fear", then the scene described by Qi Xia could no longer be described as "fear".

There is no accurate word in the dictionary to describe this feeling.

If he stood in a city made of Wen Qiaoyun's flesh and blood, how would he feel?

Shocked? Horrified?

No, that feeling is indescribable.

"Qi Xia, are you still saying that you are not crazy?" Chu Tianqiu asked.

"Maybe I have passed the stage of "crazy". "Qi Xia replied expressionlessly, "I feel that I have reached a realm that I have never set foot in. To deal with the thoughts of this realm, "crazy" is not enough. ”

“Is this what you said… After destroying all your psychological defenses, you built it with the “most terrifying things”, and those things are Yu Nian’an’s flesh and blood?”

Qi Xia nodded after hearing this: “Yes.”

“But even the “Echo” can’t do this.” Chu Tianqiu slowly frowned, “How did you do it?”

“It’s a long story. I can’t do this kind of “miracle” by myself. I not only need a “god” who can destroy the entire city, but also a “dream” who can rebuild the city.”

“The two people you mentioned…” Chu Tianqiu was slightly stunned, “No, this is obviously one person, right? “He” can do it all by himself… Not only did you control the “Qinglong”, but you even calculated the “Tianlong”?”

Qi Xia slowly closed his eyes: “Chu Tianqiu, we have several “battlefields”. I can’t control the other “battlefields”. There is only one place that I control. "

"The battlefield under your control...?"

"This has nothing to do with you. It's my own business." Qi Xia said.
