Chapter 14 Moths Don't Fight Fires
Forget that this is the first time I have been disappointed...... In my memory, there have been several times when I had a sudden whim like this and my heart beat faster, although it was a disappointing result. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After committing suicide, the character automatically returns to the resurrection point in the city, and the loss of such a death is meaningless to her.
She chose the original underground line.
stared at the screen for a while, and then fell directly on the table...... For a moment, she was still lying on her stomach, but she reached out and opened the drawer.
Her arms and palms trembled slowly, and there were items in them that would allow her to pull herself out of this loss and pain for a short time.
It was a delicate knife.
She took the knife in her right hand, and little by little pulled the rest of her left arm, pressing the cold blade against the skin of her arm—an almost flawless skin, if the slender scars on it could be erased.
Always...... One night, after the man had left, she had found that the pain of the split had soothed her a little.
Her gaze began to fade, and the sharp edge began to draw a small slash diagonally on her pale skin, and blood began to spread along the edge of the blade to both sides.
But she couldn't go on, and for a moment the pleasure of the act vanished when there was a sudden knock on the door outside the room. She heard the voice of another man—the man she hated but couldn't leave.
"Xiaorou, the maid said, you haven't eaten again, haven't you? Xiaorou! Did you hear me! Answer me!"
She silently looked at the door of the room and subconsciously walked to the door.
"Xiaorou, you speak!"
"Don't you want to see me so much? Don't you know if the door is locked?" she ...... Xiao Rou covered the wound on her arm, and then quickly pulled down her sleeve.
"I'll ask the maid to give you something to eat, remember to eat. The man was silent for a moment before he spoke calmly.
But just as the man was about to turn around and leave, the door of the room was opened suddenly, and Xiao Rou behind him shouted angrily at him: "Lan Kai, are you so unwilling to see me?"
Her voice resounded almost throughout the floor, and the maid who was cleaning downstairs heard it, and hurriedly ran away, quickly opened the glass window door of the living room, and walked out into the garden.
Lan Kai stopped here, then slowly turned around, his pupils contracted slightly.
Xiao Rou sneered, and at this time, she brushed her hair away little by little, and on the left side of her face, a scar that was pulled down from the corner of her eye until her jaw was like a hideous centipede, crawling on this originally delicate face, "Do you dare to look at it again?"
Lan Kai took a heavy breath, exhaled again, looked sideways, and said indifferently: "If you want, these injuries can be corrected at any time, the current plastic surgery technology is very good, and it will soon be the same as before." ”
Xiao Rou looked at Lan Kai and sneered, shaking her head as she retreated into the room, like a ghost, her pale expression was embellished by the scars on her face, and her smile was extremely cold.
She bit the word and said, "I won't let it go away, I want you to always remember, remember how you did it to me...... Yongyong, far away!"
It wasn't until the door of the room was closed that Lan Kai leaned against the wall as if he had drained all his strength, holding his forehead with one hand, gasping for breath.
After a long time, Lan Kai seemed to have regained some strength, and slowly walked down the stairs, and the maid outside the courtyard quietly saw it at this time, so he quickly opened the window door and walked in, "Sir......
The servant stopped talking.
Lan Kai shook his head and waved his hand, "Get some food and send it up, and let it go if you don't eat it." ”
"I see. The servant sighed and silently took the kitchen.
Lan Kai took a bottle of red wine and went to the study by himself...... Sometimes, he really didn't want to come back to this cold place.
......
......
Qian Xiu looked at Xiaobao silently for a while, and the resurrection point flashed a few times, some people left in a hurry, and some people went offline.
Just as Qian Xiu was about to say something, Xiaobao suddenly said: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." Boss, are you still doing the task? If you don't, I'm offline! I haven't been home from work for a few days, and I want to go back tonight. ”
Qian Xiu nodded silently, and then whispered, "Okay." ”
Before going offline, Xiaobao said again, "It's better not to see each other, but what if you can't forget?"
Qian Xiu was stunned, Xiaobao had disappeared.
He glanced up at the sky, which was more real than real, the world was a quiet orange-red under the remnant sun, and finally understood why he wanted to be here.
Because I can't forget it, but I can't see each other...... We can't see each other.
If you escape into this world, you don't have to suppress this crazy longing that can't disappear - because if you are separated by two different worlds, you will know that there is no possibility of seeing each other again.
If you want to find something to do, the more trivial and troublesome things are best, when you are too busy to think about it......
Chishu remembered his original plan to rebuild a weapon.
It's just that last time, because I broke the relationship between other humans who came to this game in addition to myself, in the end, there was still a small part of the materials left that was not collected, so I hurried back.
Since then, he has been in a state of slump - because he is afraid of killing a living person, and because of a kind of fear.
Later, I accidentally met Xiaobao, and I have been with him all this time, so there is no such thing as continuing to build weapons.
......
On the way to the material collection place in the novice village, Chishu always felt like something was missing around him...... There's one less guy who chatters a lot, but always manages to keep himself from hating.
But there wasn't much left of the materials left over from the manufacture of weapons last time. It only happened again, and it only took more than an hour to collect it.
Qian Xiu suddenly got a little tired of this kind of day of rushing to kill monsters every day...... This kind of high-intensity killing life has always been in a state of excitement, but once it stops, an unprecedented tiredness can quickly make people extremely tired.
At the moment he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to lie down, and if he could fall asleep - but it was obviously impossible in such a wild place.
He had already died once, and if he came twice, it would also mean that Qian Xiu would also disappear from this world.
He had asked himself why he was still alive, and perhaps a direct end was the best choice.
He had done the same, but in the end he couldn't overcome the fear of death, as if he had suddenly woken up from a nightmare, his whole body was cold, he was panting, his heart was pounding, and he was trembling...... After all, I didn't have the courage to take that last step.
"Mr. Knight over there, can you walk away, you might have stepped on the golden earthworm I'm about to catch. ”
Qian Xiu was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at the guy who was talking to him...... Very low level, level four, a weak mage.
Wearing the most basic novice tabula rasa mage robes...... It's been so long since the server was opened, and there is such a low-level number?
If you are a newcomer, you will generally choose a new server, so why would you deliberately come to this kind of service area for some time...... Is it someone else's trumpet?
LQ...... The ID of this mage.
The LQ mage was indeed squatting on the ground at this moment, with a small shovel in his hand and a basket next to him, and he was just squatting on the wet dirt ground, and it was not too dirty...... It's really digging earthworms.
Qian Xiu subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment...... It turned out that before I knew it, I had come to the edge of the lake. He was just going to find a random place where no one was around.
This quiet environment feels good.
Maybe because this trumpet is only level four, for Qian Xiu, it's like a little monster with one or two, even if he is allowed to attack dozens of times, it is impossible to break his equipment defense, Qian Xiu suddenly asked, "What are you doing catching earthworms?"
LQ said: "Fishing, fishing naturally requires bait, isn't it?"
Qian Xiu was stunned for a moment, such an answer was normal, but he suddenly asked a very redundant question by himself, "Do you plan to practice life and career?"
LQ stood up, "I don't have any plans for this for the time being, just to do a mission." I heard that this golden earthworm is needed. I didn't play for a long time each time, so I didn't finish a single task. Also, I'm not sure how long I'll be able to play this game. ”
Qian Xiu frowned, "You shouldn't be fishing for the Golden Carp King, right?"
"yes, is there a problem?"
Qian Xiu said helplessly: "What a lucky guy, no matter how many people want to do this task, they can't find it, but you are a person who doesn't play much, but you have encountered it." The official announcement of the Golden Carp King's quest said that it will be the only one that will appear randomly in all the service areas, and the rewards obtained are also limited, and they will not appear in the prize pool in the future...... Do you think you're lucky?"
LQ said: "I see, no wonder it's so difficult to do, it seems that I touched it, it's really a bit of a waste." ”
Qian Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not just a waste, it's just a tyrannical thing." ”
System: Player LQ has proposed to you to form a temporary team and share the quest 'Golden Carp King', do you accept it?
Qian Xiu was surprised: "What are you doing?"
LQ said: "I said, I may not be playing for long, since such a task comes to me, it is naturally wasted." How many players do you want to meet, including yourself, right? I'm just enjoying this kind of fun doing quests, passing the time, rewarding or whatever, it's useless for me...... Why don't you help me catch the earthworm and complete it together, and the reward will be yours?"
Qian Xiu has an instinctive resistance to this kind of kindness...... He didn't believe there would be such a pie dropping.
He shook his head and said, "No need, the task is yours, and the reward is naturally yours, I won't grab it." ”
LQ didn't insist on it, just nodded and canceled the temporary invitation...... The speed of being good made Qian Xiu feel weird.
Qian Xiu felt that this guy was very far away from him...... It's farther than the distance between the screen and the world.
LQ walked towards Qian Xiu at this time.
Except for Xiaobao, the Thousand Cultivators subconsciously refused this kind of active approach from other guys. He took two quick steps back, always keeping a certain distance from the other party.
But the fishing mage didn't say anything, just squatted down where Qian Xiu was standing, and continued to dig the dirt on the ground with a shovel, as if he was happy.
"Well, there's one here, too. ”
An earthworm with a faint golden glow emerges from the excavated dirt and is sent into the basket. LQ shook the basket with both hands, and walked straight towards the small wooden plank bridge that stretched out from the lake.
He took out the fishing rod, reached out and grabbed the golden earthworm from the basket, pinned it to the hook, threw it, and sat quietly at the end of the bridge.
It was only at this time that Qianxiu discovered something inappropriate......
Many of the movements of this mage trumpet look very natural, as if there are no unnecessary restrictions.
Even though he didn't have many expressions, he had at least some subtle body movements—something like Xiaobao and the like, and there would be no such subtle and expressive body movements in front of him.
Could it be that this fourth-level trumpet mage is also ......
Qian Xiu subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and clenched it hard, but soon relaxed again.
Last time, it wasn't too late because that guy's behavior completely crossed his moral bottom line, and he couldn't help but take action because he was angry...... And this, just fishing, doesn't do anything at all.
He has no position to attack the other party, even if the other party is the same as himself.
Besides, this place doesn't allow any PK, it's a completely safe place.
- I probably won't be playing this game for too long
Remembering that the other party said something like this, Qianxiu said secretly: It is probably because there is also a certain death limit, and after it is exceeded, it will disappear from the relationship, right?
So, if he has this kind of consideration, has this guy also considered the same problem in his heart...... After all, if he is really the same type as himself, he should also pay attention to his body movements.
Qian Xiu frowned, in fact, he hadn't encountered anything like it except for the guy he had killed last time - of course, it had a lot to do with how much he tried to avoid and hide himself.
Qian Xiu walked to the small bridge, came to the little mage's side, and stood and looked at the small lake, where it seemed to be able to calm down all of a sudden. The water vapor gathered in the center of the small lake and looked hazy, and Qian Xiu subconsciously exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, then took out a bottle of wine and sat down on the spot.
The fish mark on the lake sank for a moment, and there were ripples in circles, and the little mage pulled up the rod, only to see that the bait on the hook was gone. A fish also bites, but it is clearly not the golden king carp that needs to be caught.
Qian Xiu looked at it like this, and found that the little mage simply smiled, without any sense of loss, and loaded the bait again, and then threw it again.
Qian Xiu said coldly: "Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait." I'm here to be the one who took the bait?"
LQ looked back, "I don't fish people, I catch fish." ”
Qian Xiu shook his head and said, "You can't catch anything like this, it's not voluntary, and you won't take the bait." ”
LQ said: "Didn't you say that the carp king likes to eat this kind of earthworm? ”
Qian Xiu still shook his head and said, "But it is also quite smart, and if it knows that it is dangerous, its caution is enough for it to suppress this urge to eat." Besides, under the bottom of the lake, it has so many options. There is no need to put yourself at risk for the sake of temptation. ”
LQ smiled and continued to look at the immovable lake, "Then I'll have to try it, after all, this is the latest information I've found so far." ”
Qian Xiu took a sip, lay down, and looked at the sky, "No one will moths to the fire." ”
LQ said: "Then how did this idiom come about? ”
Qian Xiu turned around, pillowed his arm, closed his eyes, and said indifferently: "Who knows...... Or, in fact, no one has really tried it, so that's why I thought for myself. ”
LQ said, "Hmm...... But I still want to give it a try, otherwise the effort to catch earthworms will be in vain. ”
Qian Xiu said indifferently: "It's up to you, anyway, it's just you who is disappointed, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Quietly, quietly, Qian Xiu was a little tired and seemed to have forgotten everything.
Master LQ used up the last bait, but still didn't catch the Golden Carp King, so he smiled, "Come back tomorrow." ”
glanced at Qian Xiu, he should have fallen asleep.
The little mage also carried the basket and left slowly.
......
Maybe it's a little cool, even if he falls asleep, Qian Xiu instinctively wraps his body.
He had a dream in which he became a moth, entangled in fire and flying, and did not pounce.
