Volume Three, Second Floor, Abyss, Chapter 123, Ending
The man and woman who were pressed by Lu Yaosan, at the moment when their mobile phones were pierced by the sharp knife, as the electronic device buzzed with electricity, their bodies exploded with the last whimper of the mobile phones,
Like a bomb, the fuse was lit at that moment and detonated quickly. Lu Yaosan, who was closest to the two of them, was blown away with a "bang" sound by the explosion airflow that was neither big nor small.
The metal knife inserted into his abdomen stood upright, and then gradually began to melt into liquid, flowing along Lu Yaosan's fallen body to the ground, and finally evaporated and disappeared like water vapor.
"Ahem!"
Lu Yaosan lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment. His body was covered with scarlet plasma, and there was a smoky smell. The wound on his abdomen was tearing and painful every time he coughed. Lu Yaosan tried to sit up, but he had already stopped.
Use up extra energy to struggle.
After destroying the phone, Tang Ling quickly dropped the long knife, ran to Lu Yaosan and squatted down. She looked at the blood all over Lu Yaosan's body, and he was still coughing out blood in his mouth, looking miserable.
He looked like he was dying. Tang Ling didn't even dare to reach out and touch him. She was afraid that she would accidentally poke Lu Yaosan's wound and aggravate his injury again.
"I, probably can't get out." Lu Yaosan's vision was a little blurry. He used all his strength to turn his head towards Tang Ling beside him. He couldn't see the original appearance of Lu Yaosan, who was covered in dirt. He reluctantly pulled
He smiled.
"A rotten person like me has no right to escape alive. I even forgot myself and took on someone else's identity. It's really... despicable."
Perhaps death was approaching, perhaps life had come to an end. At this time, Lu Yaosan finally realized his sad and absurd life and how many mistakes he had committed. It was obvious that at first he just wanted to win other people through his hard work.
Attention... No, that's not right, what he wants most is probably his own attention.
Ah, he finally understood. He had forgotten about himself from the very beginning, so how could he win the favor of others?
A trace of annoyance and regret flashed across Lu Yaosan's face. He is really a stupid person. Obviously, he is the one who should see him the most. Lu Yaosan's face gradually turned gray, and he smiled at himself, quietly
He quietly felt that his eyes were getting darker and his body began to become stiff. The pale white spotlight above his head coldly displayed his death.
Tang Ling just watched quietly as Lu Yaosan's life came to an end. His clenched fists opened weakly little by little, and his curled fingers slowly straightened stiffly. Tang Ling did not cry, nor did she feel sad.
, she just watched Lu Yaosan's death quietly, like an audience immersed in the plot. This stranger, whose name would not be remembered by others, quietly left in the cold pit.
Tang Ling stretched out her hand and slowly covered Lu Yaosan's open eyes. She didn't care about the blood on his body and used her coat to wipe out his original appearance bit by bit.
Until his flawless face appears in the field of vision, his peaceful face looks like he is asleep, it will definitely be an extremely beautiful dream.
"Sister, we won! We can go out!"
Yan Yan behind him suddenly cheered with joy, but Tang Ling ignored him at all. After finishing her final farewell to Lu Yaosan, Tang Ling slowly stood up and picked up the things she had thrown away.
The long knife on the ground, and then slowly turned around. The weight of the long knife still made it difficult for Tang Ling to hold it. She clenched the handle of the knife with both hands and looked at Yan Yan behind her, who was still full of joy.
The expression on his face slowly changed from happiness to confusion and fear.
"elder sister?"
"Why do you know?"
Tang Ling interrupted Yan Yan's uneasy questioning. She looked at Yan Yan indifferently, letting the sadness and fear on his face get stronger and stronger. She looked at Yan Yan with long-lost and nostalgic eyes, as if
She looked at an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time, but with an increasingly strong resentment that couldn't be concealed. Even after so long, Tang Ling was still full of doubts and resentment towards him.
"When did you discover it?"
Yan Yan put away the childish fear he pretended to have on his face and regained his indifference. With a maturity that a child of this age would never have, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't have any big reaction when Tang Ling exposed him. He was casual.
asked.
"No one knows that I can block control, and you weren't around at that time."
The resentment on Tang Ling's face became even more intense, and her mind began to keep flashing back and forth. That person patiently taught and encouraged her, and kept persuading her to be full of hope. Sooner or later, she could escape from that nightmare underground.
He was always gentle and kind, until the last gunshot broke all Tang Ling's beautiful yearning and dependence on him. Although he no longer looked like a mature man and turned into a ten-year-old boy, he brought
It gave her a clear and intuitive aura that was so familiar that it made her want to strike at him with a knife. She would never forget it and it was unmistakable.
"I didn't expect you to be smarter than I thought." Yan Yan closed his eyes, with a smile on his face, raised his hands above his head, and clapped. The crisp applause seemed particularly abrupt and weird in the dead silence.
, Yan Yan's eyes were filled with approval, an approval that Tang Ling was both familiar with and disgusted with.
It was this look that had satisfied her more than once and made her feel that she was his pride.
"Then what will you do next? Tang Ling." Yan Yan raised his head and opened his eyes again, looking at her expectantly and contemptuously, "In the third level of this game, everyone except you
We are enemies, and only one person can survive. So what will you do?"
Tang Ling's hands holding the handle of the knife were shaking constantly. Her already red eyes were now even more swollen and red due to the anxiety and irritability in her heart, as if they were about to burst. Yan Yan knew clearly that she was just holding on.
She surrendered and obeyed him involuntarily from the bottom of her heart. Even in the fierce confrontation, her legs in her baggy pants were already trembling uncontrollably.
She has never killed anyone.
Even if the person in front of me is not a real "person" at all.
She did not dare to take action against humans of her own kind, even though too many people had died because of her along the way, even though she had seen countless humans killing each other in order to survive.
Yan Yan knew her weakness and had always known it. The shred of kindness and cowardice that still remained in her bones gave her no courage to attack humans or children of her own age. Even now they
Even though they were all trapped in this deep pit, Yan Yan was still the aloof and sure-win leader she once respected and hated.
No one spoke anymore.
The surrounding electronic screens were still operating, and dim light from all directions shone on Yan Yan and Tang Ling. Only Tang Ling's extremely panicked and tangled face was displayed on the screen, as well as the slightly trembling long knife she was holding.
.
Tang Ling was struggling with her courage, and Yan Yan was waiting for her to take action. He was forcing her until she had no choice but to do so.
"I...used to respect you very much."
After a long time, Tang Ling suddenly lowered her head and said in a low voice. Her voice sounded a little hazy, with a hint of hoarse crying.
Above the spotlight, as Tang Ling spoke, the small circular light spot was expanding little by little, swallowing up the insignificant white light of the spotlight, and the bright blue sky was revealed little by little with the expanding circle.
, the dazzling sunlight, the light from the real sky, shined into the bottom of the pit, shining on Tang Ling and Yan Yan.
Yan Yan slowly raised his head and closed his eyes with some comfort, feeling the warm temperature. The long knife on his chest was completely swallowed by his body. The tip of the knife that pierced his back was stained with crystal blood.
It fell to the ground with a "clack", and the gray coat was dyed black and red by large swaths of bright red. Yan Yan never opened his eyes. There was a trace of relief on his face, feeling the presence in front of him.
The man was holding the handle of the knife, his body was shaking slightly, and he was choking slightly.
"Tang Ling, you did it."
Tang Ling let go of her hands holding the handle of the knife, and stood stiffly on the spot, letting the child in front of her slowly fall to the ground as she let go, with wet red tears on her face.
She sighed and murmured to the person who fell on the ground, and then slowly lost the breath of life. Tang Ling's eyes were empty and numb. Without any unnecessary mixed emotions, she seemed to have lost the last trace of human consciousness.
Ren Kong stood there in a daze, looking at his hands, still shaking.
Her body became even colder than the freezer she had been in. Tang Ling felt that her limbs were no longer under her control. She stood there blankly, staring at her hands. In a daze, they
Becoming clean and scarlet.
Waves of warm applause and cheers came to my ears, just like the guests who had watched the performance, giving the most sincere and straightforward feedback for the performance when the curtain slowly fell. Everyone was laughing and cheering.
As they laughed and talked about their impressions, Tang Ling's vision became blurry, and she seemed to see the scene that was originally in the darkness becoming clearer bit by bit.
People wearing solemn and elegant evening gowns, with the most exquisite and noble hairstyles, wearing a black and white clown mask on their faces, all with evil smiles, looking at the particularly scary and weird people, they cheered and held their hands in their hands.
The champagne glasses clinked and made a crisp chirp. They all looked at her, full of ridicule and sarcasm.
On the other side of the spotlight, lights shined on the ground one by one, eventually forming a long passage, like salvation. On the far side, there was a ladder that led directly to the exit of the big hole above the top.
Tang Ling's brain couldn't think. She just relied on instinct to bypass Yan Yan's body and slowly walked towards the ladder. Every time she passed a light, a light would go out, leaving only the top of the pit.
In the sparse sunlight, the lights behind Tang Ling were extinguished one after another, as if extinguishing her dark experience. Finally, Tang Ling reached the end and stood in front of the ladder.
The rusty ladder has a silver-gray body covered in auburn rust, and its slender structure looks precarious.
Tang Ling slowly grabbed the ladder, stepped on the ladder frame with one foot, and then the other foot, moving it bit by bit, repeatedly mechanically lifting her foot and moving up, the old ladder kept moving.
The ground let out a creaking gasp, telling Tang Ling how old it was. Tang Ling's empty expression continued to rise until the dazzling sunlight shone on her face, feeling warm and comfortable.
There was finally some light in his eyes.
She didn't look back, she didn't want to and didn't dare to look back. Tang Ling didn't know how long she had been climbing. She felt her breathing getting heavier and heavier. Sweat began to secrete on her forehead, and dripped down her face on the ladder, and on the top of her head.
The bright blue sky was getting closer and closer, almost within reach. A long-lost nostalgia rose on Tang Ling's face. Tears filled her eyes. She didn't know how long it had been since she had asked about the fresh and natural scent of grass, trees and soil.
fragrant.
"Click!"
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand, wanting to feel the sky above her head. The howling wind blew up from the bottom of the pit. Tang Ling's hair was messy on her face. The smile at the corner of her mouth was still vivid and bright, and the expectation in her eyes was
Before retreating, the suddenly broken frame, the hanging body, and the feeling of weightlessness happened in an instant. Looking at the blue sky so close at hand, it became farther away from me little by little, falling into the endless abyss...
