End of ten days

Qi Xia, Chen Junnan, and Qiao Jiajin faced the afternoon sun and headed towards the edge of the city again.

Chen Junnan looked at the team in front of him and felt that this should be the first time in Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin's memory that the three of them acted alone. But little did he know that in his own memory, the three people had walked on this street dozens of times.

The dry plants, cracked earth, dilapidated houses, creaking signboards and the rotten smell brought by the breeze have never felt so familiar to Chen Junnan.

"Lao Qi, Lao Qiao." Chen Junnan looked at the sun in the sky and said with a smile, "Do you know... I look so heroic today..."

Qiao Jiajin became interested as soon as he heard this: "Oh? Handsome boy, what did you do?"

"Master, I fooled a rabbit today." Chen Junnan continued to laugh, "Even I thought I might die, but I didn't expect to live again."

Qi Xia frowned and said coldly: "Don't say depressing words."

"Old Qi, you don't know..." Chen Junnan shook his head, "Every time I want to tell you about my heroic appearance in the game, but every time I meet you, I will think of you, kid. Much better than me."

Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin walked to the middle of the street together, moved a rusty street lamp that had fallen on the ground blocking the road to the side, and then looked back at Chen Junnan.

"What do you want to say?"

"Compared to monsters like you, I really have to risk everything just to keep up with you two..." Chen Junnan's hearty smile had a hint of sadness, "Say, you won't abandon me one day. Are you ready? Although I don’t want to go out, I can’t be kicked out of the team by you two. You still have to understand this difference.”

Chen Junnan's words made Qi Xia feel a little awkward.

"Chen Junnan..." Qi Xia frowned and said, "You are keen on confronting the Zodiac. Do you just want to prove that you and the two of us are at the same starting point?"

"What else?" Chen Junnan's eyes moved away from the sun in the sky, and he lowered his head to look at Qi Xia. His broken bangs slightly obscured his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression. Intelligence can overcome all difficulties, and one person can defeat all obstacles with his fists...I am standing with you now, do you know what I look like?"

Neither of them spoke, they just looked at him quietly.

"I'm like a child who wants to attract your attention." Chen Junnan said with a grin, "I always hope that I can do something awesome to impress you, using my not-so-strong body and my not-so-nimble mind. , and then use my "scapegoat"... I will fight the opponent again and again, just to prove that I can actually do it..."

"Ah, handsome boy..." Qiao Jiajin looked at Chen Junnan unbearably, "Actually, you don't look thin either. If we really get into a fight..."

"Yes, I know." Chen Junnan nodded, "I guess I can knock down one of you out of seven or eight."

"Don't compare with me..." Qiao Jiajin tried to comfort Chen Junnan, but he felt that his mouth was a bit stupid. He thought for a long time before he said a word, "Say, maybe five or six will do..."

Chen Junnan smiled and sighed: "So... Lao Qi, Lao Qiao, if one day I can't keep up with this team, you can always...

…”

Seeing that Chen Junnan was about to cry, Qi Xia could only frown and said, "Stop being pretentious."

"Ah?" Chen Junnan choked on Qi Xia's words, and the unfinished words were also stuck in his throat.

"What you did before was not like a child at all." Qi Xia shook his head and said, "What you say now is like a child."

"What do you mean, Lao Qi?" Chen Junnan pushed Qi Xia impatiently, "Young master, I have only sensationalized this once in my life. Why did you fail me?"

"It's not necessary." Qi Xia said, "If you really know me, you should know what kind of character I am. I never care whether the people around me are "qualified to stand by my side." I only care about the people around me. People treat me with sincerity. I rarely rely on the strength of others.”

"you……"

"Even if the people standing next to me are old people, children, or even unfortunate people without any "echo", I can't be cruel enough to abandon them at any time." Qi Xia turned around, and the cold voice came again, "What's more, you are not."

"Oh!" Chen Junnan smiled instantly, "Lao Qi, when did you become so glib? Have you learned a lot from me?"

"Look up to me." Qi Xia continued to walk forward, and a calm voice came over, "I can't imitate a grown man standing in the middle of the road and being pretentious."

"You kid!" Chen Junnan wanted to curse, but he didn't know where to start.

"Why don't you talk to me if you have some spare time." Qi Xia changed the topic and said, "What kind of person is the Weiyang you are talking about...?"

"Old Wei..." Chen Junnan recalled as he walked forward, "I only had a few contacts with him. Anyway, he was a fierce big brother who was not easy to get close to and there was no need to get close. He was once your subordinate. He is a general, but he is not very honest. You kicked him out of the team a long time ago. "

"I kicked it?" Qi Xia confirmed.

"That's right." Chen Junnan nodded, "Old Wei not only has a bad temper, but also doesn't tell the truth. He was a famous scammer before he entered the "Land of the End"."

"Wait a minute..." Qi Xia paused, "Are you a fraudster again?"

"Yeah..." Chen Junnan was about to agree, but suddenly found that Qi Xia's words were a bit strange, "Wait a minute... Lao Qi, what do you mean by "another scammer"? Are scammers very common here?"

"Huh...?" Qi Xia felt that Chen Junnan's question was a bit strange.

"Scammer?" Qiao Jiajin smiled after hearing this, "I lost it. Isn't that a coincidence? Wasn't the scammer a scammer before he came here? What's going on in this place? There are scammers everywhere. "

Although Qiao Jiajin was talking to himself on the side, Qi Xia's eyes never left Chen Junnan. Looking at Chen Junnan's hesitant expression, he seemed to have thought of something very strange.

Chen Junnan turned his head and looked at Qi Xia very seriously, as if he was confirming whether the person in front of him was the Qi Xia he knew. There was an irrepressible doubt in his eyes, and he felt that even his own memory had problems.

After holding it in for a long time, he slowly uttered a sentence:

"Lao Qi...when the hell did you become a fraudster?"
