The snores of the other three people around him sounded like drums, making him feel even more upset...
In the end, Kawakiko said nothing.
He just said "take care" and returned to the hall.
Chen Xiaowei was also driven back to her house by him, and everything seemed to be running normally on track.
However, this moving train seems to be constantly dropping things...
When Kawakiko asked in the yard if he would save other people, his thoughts were suddenly pulled into the memory of "Amada High School".
At that time, he was still a "novice instructor", telling others how to survive in the horror world.
At that time.
The same thing happened...
Naiya, who was shorter among the crowd, raised her hand tremblingly and asked Qianye in front of her: "If we are in danger...you, you will save us, right?"
They hope to survive.
I also hope that Qianye, who is capable, can help everyone.
But.
Why?
Qianye's only thoughts at that time were these few words, why.
He can't even take care of himself, so why should he take care of a complete stranger?
He didn't even know whether the other party would stab him in the back.
Take the risk and go to the rescue.
Why is this?
Qianye didn't understand this idea at all from the beginning. He felt that the so-called heroism was just to comfort his heart and make him feel that he was barely human.
Add glory to the heart...
This is something Qianye has always felt was very vain.
after all.
If he were a normal person with no brain damage and could think about this matter rationally, then he would not give up himself in order to obtain the so-called inner vanity.
A hero is just a comfort to numb fools...
"Save? Just give me money, but you don't want to give me money. You just open your mouth and let me go through fire and water. Who are you..."
Chino was inexplicably angry as his thoughts were fighting.
He cursed to himself, not knowing exactly who he was scolding.
In a trance.
The scene in "Mom's World" where everyone fled to Yanta Mountain reappeared in his mind.
The bright moonlight reflected on Qianye's face.
His mood slowly calmed down...
An Zhi's embarrassed appearance on the top of the mountain, covered in blood, appeared again. He held an unburned cigarette in his hand and explained to Qianye the purpose of doing this without thinking.
...
"Aren't people in the organization afraid of death? Hmm...I mean I've learned about your rewards. I don't think the money is enough for a person to sacrifice his life. Although the curse source has special abilities, it's not completely safe, right?"
This is what Chino asked at that time.
Because he cannot understand the so-called righteousness.
I don't understand why some people would rather give up their lives to become a "hero" with no real gains.
He thinks.
People in organizations are stupid.
Those people are a bunch of idiots who have been brainwashed and cannot think for themselves.
Even if you think about it for a moment, you will know that you are going to suffer a loss, but you still have to bear it...
This is so stupid!
"I don't know...Have you ever heard of a kind of spirit? It's the heroic spirit of fearless dedication and sacrifice when necessary. Even if you know you will die, you will not shrink from it. I guess maybe everyone has that kind of spirit in their bones.
The spirit exists..."
This was the stupidest thing An Yu ever said, but Qianye thought it was the stupidest thing.
He still remembers the other person's expression when he said this.
...
"Then how come everyone has this idea? Do you have this so-called spirit?"
"I don't know, but I think...if one day the emergence of the horror world reaches a point where it completely affects reality and requires me to make sacrifices, then I will do it."
...
The answer given by An only.
Qianye felt extremely speechless.
He even thought that with An Zhi's IQ, if he wanted to defraud him, it would be easy.
Time seems to be going back...
Qianye, who was lying on the bed with his eyes open, looked at the ceiling above. The reasons An Zhi had given were echoing in his ears, appearing in his mind word by word...
...
"All right."
"That's what I'm telling you..."
"If one day a disaster strikes and everyone I care about is involved, then I can't possibly let my elderly father deal with it, right?"
"Someone has to step up."
"Since, I happen to have the ability."
"The person who stood up..."
"It would just be me."
...
"And everyone I care about is involved."
"People who stand up."
"It happens to be me..."
Qianye murmured these words in his mouth.
He remembered that half an hour ago, he asked Kawakiko why she was crying.
"Is there someone you care about? Do you want me to save him?"
Since Kawakiko has someone he cares about.
What about yourself?
Is there anyone you care about?
Yuma's figure seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and then disappeared again, replaying in Qianye's mind like a slideshow...
My mind went blank.
It seems that except for Yujian, Qianye really can't think of anyone he cares about.
And slowly, in this blank space, another person's rickety body appeared. Her face was both unfamiliar and familiar.
The kind smile on his face seemed to be asking Qianye.
"How have you been recently..."
She's always like that.
Ever since she was a child, ever since Chino could remember, she had been trying to take care of herself.
After finishing the meal, the bowls were placed in the kitchen. They said they didn't need her to do it and they would take care of it when they woke up. But when they got up the next day, the kitchen had already been tidied up, and even the sunlight shining on it made it look so beautiful.
The most common blame she expressed was why she didn't dress well because it was cold, and why she didn't eat well today.
It’s as if her life belongs to her, and it’s only reasonable for her to get involved no matter what...
Finally, she left.
It seems that I am free and carefree...
Qianye clearly remembered how many tears he shed because of the uncontrollable and unbearable sadness that filled his heart that day.
Except there is room.
He also has other people he cares about...
Grandma's figure gradually disappeared, and what appeared instead was a face that needed a beating.
That man still owed him several hundred dollars and had not paid back. If it had not been for the emergence of the horror world, he might still have continued to work as his psychiatrist.
Park Yunjin is one of the few people who has a lot of interactions with Qianye.
When other children were disgusted with Qianye's legs, he was willing to throw away his basketball and sit at home with Qianye watching TV series for an afternoon.
Although boring.
Although he even yawned when he saw it.
But he still pretended to be happy and talked to Qianye.
How high can a child's acting skills be...
Qianye knew what Pu Yunjin was thinking.
He also knew how much this childhood playmate cared about him at that time...
People who care.
It seems there is...
Although everyone went their separate ways after growing up, and everyone had their own things to do, Qianye still kept those things in mind.
Contact is not as frequent as it was when I was a child...
But when we meet again, we will still sit in front of the TV, put our mobile phones aside, choose a movie or TV series that the two of us have never seen, and sit there for several hours.
Not every good friend talks about it all the time.
It’s not like we have to stick together every day.
Like Chino.
He believes that as long as you are the first person you can think of when you feel lonely, you are a friend...
"Don't care about anything?"
Qianye thought about the basement.
The photo on the tombstone of Perrin's father Brown is exactly what Park Yunjin looked like.
Although he and the other party have not met yet here.
But he knew that the other party must be in this world...
Everyone who knows the world of horror will be invited to the invitational meeting.
"So that means... Ziliang is also here?"
The editor who only knows how to push manuscripts.
I don’t know if he is still alive now...
"What to do?"
"But it seems to be pretty good now..."
"And as long as I follow the rules and continue in my current state, I can live well."
"Muddy the waters..."
Qianye suddenly thought of something and sat up from the bed suddenly.
He made a decision that even he felt was against his character.
"Friends, you have to pay more!"
"Park Yunjin, you owe me more and more money..."
...
...
He quietly opened the door to the room, trying not to make too much noise.
Qianye squeezed out of the bedroom amidst the snoring of the three people and walked towards the hall.
Although a lot of effort has been put into decorating this villa, it's just that the world's technology doesn't seem to be too advanced, so it naturally doesn't have cameras or anything like that.
With the help of Xie Aishan.
Qianye scurried around the villa like a spider...
Either on the roof or in the blind spot at the corner of the wall, avoiding other people's attention and getting closer to the basement.
Fortunately, I have been here once before, so I still know where to enter the basement.
The big men on the second floor found no trace of Qianye.
Just like this, he successfully entered the basement...
Same as last time.
The temperature in the basement is much lower than outside. As soon as you come in, you can feel the difference in temperature between the two ends.
It's just that people have obviously come here frequently. The candles still burning in the recesses of the wall can explain everything very well.
The firelight made the basement less dark, at least I could see the path under my feet clearly.
While thinking about the contents of the transaction Kawakiko said, Chino moved closer to the interior.
Perhaps because of the night, most people had gone to rest, so there wasn't much movement here.
After walking a certain distance, Qianye only saw two men with guns, standing listlessly at the entrance of the passage. They probably intercepted them here to prevent anyone from entering.
"Can you knock these two people out before they can react?" Qianye asked Xie Aishan in a very low voice.
He wasn't worried about the threat that gun could pose to him.
He has seen Xie Aishan's ability before, but with just two people, Qianye is confident that they will fall to the ground...
But here's the trouble.
The distance between the two is not close.
Even if Chino can dodge quickly, the other party will not be able to shoot him.
But once the trigger of the gun is pulled.
That movement can't be explained away with firecrackers.
Someone will definitely feel something is wrong and come over...
but.
Before he could wait a few seconds after Qianye asked, Xie Aishan had already controlled his body and rushed forward!
Just like a ghost!
The speed was so ridiculously fast that Qianye felt that what he saw was spinning around, and he could hardly see anything clearly. The two people fell to the ground, motionless...
"Are you telling me not to insult you..."
Qianye twitched the corner of his mouth and said stiffly.
Of course he didn't waste much time.
By the way, he put the two men's guns on his body and continued to move deeper.
At this time, Qianye was getting closer and closer to "Brown"'s grave.
He also felt more and more that the inside was different from when he came before...
Maybe Kawakiko is right, the organizers of the shelter may be doing something shameful.
And wait until you reach almost the end position.
Qianye's vision suddenly opened up...
He was stunned for a moment.
Because what he could see at this time was that all kinds of people were locked up in cages, their bodies were tied up, their mouths were sealed with tape and they could not speak. They were like balls of meat, looking at him in surprise with their eyes open.
"Good guy, if you don't tell me that there is no conspiracy behind this look, I won't be able to believe it."
It seems that Kawakiko didn't lie to herself.
She told herself everything she knew...
Looking around, Qianye was surprised to find that there was someone he knew inside.
You should remember before entering the invitation meeting.
Chino had once managed to become a half-baked teacher.
That was An Ji's trick on him.
At that time, there was a person who left a deep impression on Chino, and his personality was different from the others.
A shy boy who becomes cheerful when he puts on a hood.
Qianye thinks that he will never forget this guy in his whole life...
He didn't expect that he would see the other person at this moment... Although the boy was a little embarrassed now, even though he was tied up with a rope and his mouth was sealed with tape, there was still a feeling in the boy's eyes that ordinary people didn't have.
Observing...
He was still observing just now.
Maybe he was thinking about how to escape, or maybe he was thinking about other issues, but he didn't just lie in the cage like a corpse like the others.
After Qianye appeared, the boy naturally saw him.
It was just that the excitement he expected to see "teacher" did not appear. He just quickly looked at Qianye from top to bottom and made no other moves.
The others made whining sounds in their throats.
Struggling to ask Qianye to save them...
In response, Chino made a silent gesture.
"If you make any noise and get noticed by those people, I'm afraid I will be caught too."
There is a reminder.
Everyone's movements for survival gradually decreased.
At least Qianye feels that there is no such noise in her ears...
Think about it for a while.
Qianye felt that perhaps the only boy who could communicate with him well now was the boy who had been his "student".
So he approached the boy, preparing to tear off the tape and ask him something about this place.
But he didn't expect that.
The boy shrank back with great resistance, and at the same time there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, which made Qianye feel a little strange...
"What's wrong? I just peeled off some tape for you."
The inexplicable reaction made Qianye realize that something was wrong.
Two seconds later.
He turned his head suddenly and suddenly found someone standing behind him at some point.
"There is a room..."
Before the other party's name could be called out.
Qianye only felt a pain in his neck, and Yin Jian had already taken out a needle and stuck it in his neck...
