End of ten days

Qi Xia thought about countless questions in his mind, and now only this question can determine the direction of the next conversation as quickly as possible.

"As expected." Qi Xia nodded, "Let's make a long story short."

He took out the map given by Qinglong from his arms, unfolded it in front of Diniu, and then asked: "Do you know these people?"

Di Niu glanced at Qi Xia, then reached out to take the map. After studying it for a long time, he asked, "What do these words mean?"

"Zodiac." Qi Xia said, "Are these people as trustworthy as you?"

Di Niu paused for a long time while looking at the map, then slowly shook his head: "I don't know."

"have no idea……?"

"I just came to this city, and I haven't had time to fully understand the distribution of these "zodiac signs"." Di Niu sighed, "But I will tell you the truth, Qi Xia..."

Hearing his name being called out by Di Niu, Qi Xia felt inexplicably sad.

"We have basically lost contact since they put on the masks." Di Niu said, "I'm not even sure what kind of masks they put on, and we have no way to confirm our identity by self-reporting our names, so for anyone We are all alone."

Qi Xia frowned slightly after hearing this: "You mean, even if you face the remaining seven people, there is no way to confirm who they are?"

"That's what it means. If you can't bring eight "Sky Serpent" beads and ask all the eight people on this map, no one is truly trustworthy." She folded the map again and handed it back to Qi Xia , "Even if they are really them, too many things have happened in the past ten years. The "participants" can also fast forward their own time through death, but the "zodiac signs" cannot. We are all Really, anyone can completely collapse at some point.”

Qi Xia knew that what Di Niu said was true. In the long period of loneliness and doubt, even teammates with strong relationships may have a split.

Moreover, "Tianlong" and "Qinglong" don't seem to be stupid people. They not only have the wisdom to lure these "zodiac animals" into the abyss step by step, but also have strong threatening methods. Under double pressure, even the firmest determination may waver.

"Besides, this is not the most fatal point." Di Niu said.

"oh?"

"The most fatal thing is that each of us is independent. Even if we are sure that we have not gone astray, no one can guarantee that you will still stick to your heart." Di Niu said.

"I...?" Qi Xia glanced at her.

"We are like stepping on a steel cable at an altitude of 10,000 meters." Di Niu replied, "The reason why we are not afraid of this fatal height is precisely because there is a steel cable under our feet."

"I understand……"

"It's just that the steel rope has been stepped on for more than ten years... everyone is afraid that it will break." Di Niu shook his head sadly, "Qi Xia, after seeing you, I realized that the steel rope is still strong. I can let go, and I hope others can do the same.”

Seeing Qi Xia's silence, Di Niu stared at Qi Xia for a while, and then asked softly: "With your eyes... did you succeed? Did you hurt "him"?"

Qi Xia nodded slightly after hearing this: "It's possible."

"What does "possible" mean?" Di Niu asked puzzledly, "Are you going to tell me that you have planned a path for so long... and now it has entered a state of uncertainty?"

After hearing this, Qi Xia sighed deeply: "Yes, I'm not sure, my memory is stuck."

"The memory is stuck?"

"There are always some details that go wrong in plans that last for too long." Qi Xia replied, "I am solving this matter. Now my memory is very strange..."

"Why is it strange?" Di Niu asked.

After hearing this, Qi Xia slowly turned around, faced the pit next to Di Niu, and then stretched out his feet to kick a pile of sand down.

The sand fell into the pit, but it was far from filling the huge hole.

"Obviously a lot of memories have been filled in. These memories are enough to make up a life of several decades." Qi Xia stared at the pit and said, "But the pit is far from full. I still feel that I have forgotten too many things. ”

After Qi Xia finished speaking, he turned to Di Niu and said, "There are not many "zodiac signs" I can trust. I need someone to help me connect my memories together."

"So you found me." Di Niu smiled, "Then you may be overthinking."

"How to say?"

"You have always implemented your principles." Di Niu said, "Each of us is a pawn in your plan. We only know what we should do and know nothing about other things, so I can't tell you What is it that you are missing from your memory?”

"Then you can tell me what your plan is." Qi Xia said.

"That's such a pity." Di Niu walked up to Qi Xia step by step and said with a serious face, "You yourself have confessed that even if you ask yourself, I will never mention it."

"oh……?"

"Qi Xia, you can trust me 100%, but I may not trust you." Di Niu said.

"I see." Qi Xia narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

"You tell me, if you can't rely on your own efforts to join forces with the past you, it will only prove that your level is just this." Di Niu said, "We can't take risks. We would rather not be liberated for the time being. Let no one escape from here."

After hearing this, Qi Xia nodded slightly and said, "This is better."

"Yeah?"

"If you tell me the answer easily, I will even think that this is a trap left by the past me for the present me." Qi Xia said, "This is too much like what I will do. I would rather let the future If I die early, there will never be any mistakes in the plan.”

"In that case, do you have anything else to ask me?" Di Niu asked again.

"I..." Qi Xia thought for a while and replied, "Now I have found some new like-minded partners, and they are also the few people in the "Zodiac" that I can trust besides you. You guys will find a chance to meet tonight. "

"which one?"

"The name of the game is Earth Tiger, "Meeting on a Narrow Road." Qi Xia said, "He should be very famous in the "zodiac" at the prefecture level recently. You can go and meet him tonight."

After hearing this, Di Niu opened his mouth to say something, but was still a little worried about being monitored, so he just nodded.

"There is one more question." Qi Xia said again, "Can you tell me about the current "Earth Dragon"?"

"'Earth Dragon'..." Di Niu frowned slightly after hearing this, "You mean...someone among us has become an 'Earth Dragon'?"
