End of ten days

"Qian Wu did lie..." Qi Xia muttered to himself.

"how?"

He told everyone his guess in a few words, with a different look in his eyes.

It is indeed possible that Qian Wu deceived all the people in "Cat" and made them work together without knowing it.

But for "cat", for Qian Wu...

What other choice did he have?

Although the "Cat" team is small in number and everyone has a naughty character, they are all excellent "responders."

These people may have really made mistakes in the real world, or they may have wronged their families, but at this moment they are working hard for their families, and they will never regret it even if they die miserably here again and again.

This is the "road to salvation" they are looking for in the dark hell.

Qian Wu will not expose this lie, nor will they themselves. Even if the members of the "Cat" team discover clues in some aspects, they will definitely unconditionally believe that their family will really become rich in the future. This It is probably the last line of defense that has maintained their sanity for a long time.

If you think carefully about what Chu Tianqiu and Qian Wu did, you will find that their "deal" with the "zodiac" is a very abnormal thing.

Everyone here says that "the land of death" is full of sinners who should go to hell. Everyone has either broken the law, done wrong things, or has been immersed in regrets for life. They say that everyone was dragged here on the way to hell. Choose a "god".

It is obviously a place where everyone sounds evil, but the irony is that the two people who chose to take risks and make deals with the "zodiac", whether it is Chu Tianqiu or Qian Wu, none of them started out for themselves.

They can completely be selfish and give up this option.

Chu Tianqiu worked hard to establish an organization to provide food and help to everyone, while Qian Wu established an organization to allow everyone to become stronger and gain redemption at the same time.

But in the end, it was these two leaders who really had nothing. Chu Tianqiu had completely given up on this path, but Qian Wu was still persisting.

Compared with other members of the organization, these two leaders not only did not receive any substantial rewards, they also dug out the eyeballs of countless teammates as currency, and then covered their own eyes with hands stained with the blood of their teammates, deceiving them. Everyone ends up bearing a heavy psychological burden.

Even if everyone can be redeemed in the organization one day, there is no way for these two people to go back to the past.

If there is a "cause" for this situation... then the cause of Qian Wu must come from Chen Junnan, and the cause of Chen Junnan comes from himself.

What about Chu Tianqiu?

Qi Xia touched his chin and felt that the answer was very obvious - his origin came from Wen Qiaoyun, and he was shouldering the tasks that Wen Qiaoyun should have completed.

Everyone here is holding on to a hope that is almost invisible.

How important is "hope" to a life that can still think?

In the 1950s, Dr. Kurt Richter, a scientist at Johns Hopkins University, conducted an experiment on "hope."

It threw a white rat into a bottle filled with water, and the white rat struggled in the water all the time in order to survive. After struggling for fifteen minutes, it found that survival was fruitless, and finally drowned from exhaustion. in the bottle.

Later, he improved the experiment and reached out to pick up the white rat when it was about to drown, gave it a moment to breathe, and then threw it into the water again.

The results of the experiment have also completely changed from this time. How long did the white rat struggle after being thrown back into the water?

Not fifteen minutes, not an hour, not even a day.

It struggled in the bottle filled with water for sixty hours, always thinking that a hand would pick it up at some point, but unfortunately it never did.

This is the power of "hope" to life.

As long as there is hope, even if everyone in this ghost place is drowned in deep water that cannot breathe, people will not choose to give up.

"I think Qian Wu didn't lie to me." Qi Xia said, "Although he made a deal with Zodiac, I guess even he himself doesn't know where those eyeballs are used."

"Is it possible..." Chen Junnan said, "He himself also knows that the abilities of "Xuanwu" are "immortality" and "forgetfulness of worries". Wouldn't he have expected it?"

"He was very curious, but he couldn't figure it out," Qi Xia said. "After all, he didn't know what the "Sky Snake" was doing, and he had no way to combine those eyeballs with the ability of the "Sacred Beast" in the first place."

"That's right. No one except a madman would think of such a thing, right?" Chen Junnan said, "Who would be so good as to pluck out his eyes and put them on someone else's back?"

"Now we can basically have a general understanding of the abilities of the "Mythical Beast"..." Qi Xia said, "'Cat' has brought all these people with different "echoes" together, and it just so happens that it can reveal the "Mythic Beast" to us for the first time. "The ability, now that I think about it, even Xuanwu's "Tan Nang" comes from "Cat" in the final analysis."

After Qi Xia finished speaking, he was stunned, then looked up at the street here.

"Wait a minute... If you put it this way... could this city also come from "echo"... and it is most likely an "echo" of "cat"..."

Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin on the side were startled at the same time and said: ""Craft thing"...?"

"No wonder...no wonder..." Qi Xia said with twinkling eyes, "no wonder only cities can be found here...five cities floating on the huge nothingness...how on earth can a crazy person do this?"

"What...the city is floating on nothingness?" Chen Junnan asked, "What did you think of again?"

"It's a long story..." Qi Xia shook his head, "I suspect that someone created the world out of nothingness and created a city out of thin air... because I don't have it anywhere else..."

At this point, Qi Xia decisively stopped speaking and swallowed what she was about to say.

"Ah...? What do you mean by "out of thin air"...?"

"Didn't you notice?" Qi Xia came back to his senses and pointed at the dilapidated buildings here. "It's hard to tell the age of the buildings here. It seems that there are shops from every period. There are not only high-rise buildings here, but also How could a farm, a school, and a prison be so close together under normal circumstances?

"It seems like every song is like this." Chen Junnan said, "Is there any problem with this?"

"No problem, except that I know who built this city..." Qi Xia said, "This is really an amazing move."
