Herding sheep on Zha Gong's head

"Wei Chong led people to find a water pipe and pour water into the pothole from a high place, but the location was wrong. It was about one meter away from the rock on Xia Yan's side."

"So even if we know there is water, we can't drink it?"

96: "Yes."

"Water?" Xiaobai said in his heart, his pupils lowered a little bit, he looked at the ugly centipede-shaped scar on his palm, blood, in essence, is also water, and it is very nutritious water.

"Xiaobai?" 96 was surprised by a certain thought in Xiaobai's heart.

"They won't agree."

The corner of Xiaobai's mouth curled up quickly, and he regained his composure in an instant: "After a day or two, they don't have the strength to refuse."

Xia Yan was delighted when he heard the tick-tock sound behind the stone wall. If he guessed correctly, the sound was probably the sound of water.

"... Come and listen, there seems to be water behind this." Xia Yan's eyes were full of excitement and joy.

Xiao Bai turned his head and looked at Wei Chong, who was obviously not as surprised as Xia Yan.

Xiaobai and Wei Chong got up to go to Xia Yan's place, so Tan Yao had to let go of Xiaobai's hand.

The ticking sound is indeed the sound of water, but the question also arises, how can they drink it.

As soon as Wei Chong's question came out, Xia Yan was stunned, and then the joy on his face disappeared at a visible speed.

Not to mention that they couldn't move the stone, but if it moved away, if it caused landslides again, their luck would not be so good all the time.

"You don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault." When Xiaobai turned to leave, he noticed that Xia Yan's expression dropped instantly. He probably thought that it was something to be happy that everyone could drink water, but it turned out to be cruelly proven. , that voice is like a flower in a mirror, which can be seen but never touched, so Xiaobai patted Xia Yan on the shoulder lightly.

Xia Yan turned his eyes and stared into Xiaobai's eyes, where the light was shining brightly and breathtakingly, filled with endless calmness and tranquility, which instantly soothed Xia Yan's depressed mood.

"Everyone will be fine, trust me." Xiao Bai's eyes slowly swept over the three people around him.

Another day later, without getting a drop of water at all, several people in the ground were sitting against the stone wall, and they didn't even have much strength to speak.

Today, the time should be in the afternoon.

Xiaobai vaguely smelled a breath of blood, which gradually approached him, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a hand in front of him that was dripping with blood.

In addition to the shocked expression, he was also very surprised in his heart.

It was also at this moment that the original owner's obsession completely disappeared. In other words, Xiaobai's task of torturing the scum was completed, and his soul could leave this body and rush to the next world with System 96.

As long as he is willing, the soul can escape from the exorcism shell now and immediately.

96: "Xiaobai, aren't you leaving?"

"Don't go, I will leave after they are all rescued."

96: "I don't think it's realistic."

"Why is it unrealistic? Isn't there still three days left for the excavation work?"

"It's true that it's three days, but..."

"Then there's nothing wrong with it." Xiaobai raised his hand, and tightly pressed the bleeding mouth on Tan Yao's palm.

The blood on Tan Yao's face faded long ago, and his body didn't move once in a few days, and his body felt more and more stiff.

He never felt that he was such a great and selfless person, but here, if someone had to make some sacrifices, he thought that he was the best candidate.

The boulder stuck on his leg, it seems that any movement will bring the opposite side effect. Even if the excavation comes here, the rescuers don't know the situation below, and his leg is crippled. It is his luck. I have had a lot of imaginations, but none of them are crippled and crippled.

But he wanted to sacrifice his own idea, and as soon as he implemented it, Xiaobai stopped him.

Tan Yao was very anxious, shaking his head, let Xiaobai let go of his hand.

"Don't...you have to live." Tan Yao's voice was completely hoarse, and Xiaobai could read his lips and knew what Tan Yao was talking about.

"I don't know what you think in the bottom of your heart, but if it's what I think, I refuse. I don't want to bear anyone's life in the future. It's good to owe anyone, but you can't."

"Why?" Tan Yao asked again.

Xiaobai smiled, but his brows were full of sadness, he said: "Why, how can I let the person I like do it for me..."

Tan Yao was stunned, and Xia Yan and Wei Chong, who were listening to their conversation, also changed their expressions.

Seeing that the expressions of the three of them were almost the same, Xiaobai laughed outright, but the sadness that was still there just now disappeared in an instant.

He looked down at Tan Yao, who had a layer of stubble growing on his chin. Although he was in a mess now, he was unexpectedly handsome with a decadent look. He really was the protagonist of the world.

Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled happily: "I lied to you."

Tan Yao's eyes trembled.

Xiaobai continued to smile: "Do you really believe it? Hahaha, Tan Yao, you are so funny, you still believe me, it's so funny, your expression is so funny. I never, from the beginning to the end, never liked it. But you, what I hate the most is people like you, self-righteous."

"Arrogant, with eyes always on the top of your head, you feel that the world revolves around you, don't you? Do you think it's fun to play other people? How does it feel to be played by others? It's hard, right?"

"That's right, I like to see you in pain."

Xiaobai grabbed the stone wall with one hand and stood up slowly.

He left Tan Yao and Wei Chong, and walked to a corner alone.

The three pairs of eyes behind him were all staring at him, Xiaobai just pretended not to know, found a seat, and sat down.

Keep a distance from the other three.

Tan Yao's palm was still bleeding, he looked at Xiaobai, then at his own palm, and then held it tightly.

The anger of being humiliated occupied his whole body for the first time, and he was so angry that his body was shaking.

"...Ye Yang." Xia Yan didn't know why Xiaobai chose to say these words at this time. He was not Tan Yao, but a bystander. He thought he could see clearly than Tan Yao. At first, he really felt that what Xiaobai said It's too much, but after calming down and thinking about it, I feel that Xiaobai did this for Tan Yao.

Tan Yao has the right to choose to sacrifice, but on the contrary, Xiaobai also has the right to refuse.

None of them is wrong, if there is something wrong, it is this sudden natural disaster.

Because of the completion of the mission, Xiaobai naturally no longer has the restraints of the world on him, his soul can already leave his body at will, and once he leaves, this body will immediately decay at an extremely fast speed go down.

In principle, the body exists only because its soul exists.

As for now, the body is a corpse, a corpse that can still move.

Xiaobai could clearly sense the sudden drop in body temperature.

This is a relatively novel experience. He has died in various ways in the past, but he has never died like this.

There is no pain, life and death, just at the moment when the task is completed.

The soul still has control over the body, and a corpse will naturally not be sensitive to any pain, nor will it have any drowsiness, and its mental power and consciousness have reached an unprecedented level of clarity.

The others all looked as if they had lost their strength and were gasping for half their lives.

On the other hand, Xiaobai's face was pale, but the light in his eyes was as bright as a flame.

Time passed by quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye. The flashlight of the mobile phone was turned off, and the surroundings were plunged into absolute darkness.

The three people on the opposite side all closed their eyes and fell asleep, while Xiaobai still kept his eyes open in the darkness.

"Let's light up." Xiaobai said to 96.

96 Youyou rose from mid-air, the furry top of her head suddenly lit up, like a candle.

Taking advantage of the bright light, Xiaobai walked towards Xia Yan first.

He picked up a stone on the ground, and it was difficult to pass the time in the cave. He was always looking for something to divert his attention, so he slowly polished the stone. Now one side of the stone has been sharpened like a knife edge.

He cut his wrist with a stone blade, and scarlet blood burst out instantly.

Xiaobai moved his wrist to Xia Yan's lips.

"Don't let him wake up." Xiaobai asked 96 to help.

96 slammed into Xia Yan's mind with a whoosh, immersing him in a dream, and found a pool of water, thinking that the liquid he drank into his belly was the water in the pool.

Using a completely similar method, Xiaobai fed his own blood to Wei Chong and Tan Yao.

After everything was over, Xiaobai licked off the blood around the incision with his tongue, and the blood that was flowing suddenly stopped spontaneously.There was only one bloody mouth where one could see the red and white flesh inside, and Xiao Bai returned to the place where he was sitting just now as he put down his sleeves.

For the next three days, Xiaobai secretly drank his own blood while Tan Yao and the others were asleep, but Tan Yao and the others only faintly felt the smell of blood in their mouths in the morning, but when they looked carefully Each other, no one was injured, or there were any blood stains, and the temporary insensitivity of taste also made them attribute it to their personal hallucinations, so that they would not bite someone or drink whose blood in the dark at night, although I felt that things were weird, but I didn't feel too thirsty for the time being, so I suppressed this doubt in my heart.

On the eighth day, a roaring sound woke up several people from the silence. Both Xiaobai and Xia Yan stood up from the ground, and then looked up at the cave.

Tan Yao and Wei Chong also stared at the top of their heads.

"The rescue team is here." Xia Yan murmured in a low voice this time, not letting the people around hear him.

"We will be saved immediately." The four people heard the voice, and it should not be an auditory hallucination. Wei Chongchen breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at Xiaobai, and it seemed that he only noticed at this time that Xiaobai seemed to have lost a lot of weight in a few days, because Xiaobai always sat and was a little far away from them before, now he is so Look, it made Wei Chong's heart tighten.

For some unknown reason, the uneasiness in Wei Chong's heart was rapidly expanding.

The joy of being saved immediately was greatly diluted by the situation on Xiaobai's side, Wei Chong grabbed the stone wall and approached Xiaobai's side.

When he finally walked in front of Xiaobai and saw his whole face clearly, Wei Chong felt that he might be dazzled.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. The face in front of him still remained unchanged, without any blood color, even the lips that should have been scarlet were pale, and the eyes that turned to look at him, the once bright light, Haven't seen much inside.

It's clearly a look of exhaustion.

Wei Chong touched Xiaobai's body with trembling hands.

It was cold between the tentacles.

Wei Chong's breathing stopped suddenly, and he tightly grasped the thin wrist in his hand.

The sound was like scraping rough scrub.

"Ye Yang, you...how could..." Wei Chong felt something strange in his fingertips, his expression froze, he slowly took Xiaobai's hand, and lifted the cuff of his clothes.

Lowering his eyes, he took a closer look, and in the next moment, Wei Chong gasped, which directly attracted the attention of the other two.

So the three of them saw that there were four new red scars on the inner side of Xiaobai's thin wrist. Looking at the scars, it was clear that they were scratched out recently.

It was also at that moment that Wei Chong felt that the inexplicable smell of blood in his mouth became stronger.

An obvious fact is in front of them. Without drinking water directly, they can persist until now. It cannot be that their physical fitness is so good that they can persist for so long without eating or drinking. All because of someone else.

Wei Chong slowly loosened the strength in his hand, worried that if it was heavier, it would crush the fragile wrist under his palm.

"It's really great." Xiaobai paused every word, his whole body revealed a kind of weakness, his voice was low as if he was dying.

His eyes lit up, and he said, "It's really great that we can be saved."

"You, don't talk, save some strength." Wei Chong's voice was a little choked.

Xia Yan walked over without a sound. Tan Yao's legs were stuck by the boulder and he couldn't move. Both hands were clasping the ground, his nails were almost split, his lower lip was trembling slightly, never had he hated himself so much, hated himself so much. , Weak and weak, unable to come to Xiaobai's side.

Xiaobai shook his head slowly, his body slid down the wall, he bent his legs, and looked at the cut mark on his wrist.

He smiled calmly: "You...don't have to worry about it. I haven't regretted it. Compared to all four of us dying here, it's better to die alone."

Xiaobai raised his head, and the smile on the corner of his mouth brightened the dark space, as if they had returned to the ground from a depth of tens of meters.

Xia Yan clenched his fists tightly by his side, looking at the smile on Xiaobai's face, his heart felt a sense of sadness that he had never experienced before.

Xiaobai walked away with a smile at the end, as if he was waiting for this moment, walking very peacefully, if one ignores the pale complexion, it looks like he just fell asleep.

His corpse sat there quietly, and the people next to him kept their eyes on him, until the machine above punched a hole in the cave.

Then someone hung a rope and went down to the bottom of the cave.

Seeing the situation in the cave, the rescuers were very surprised. Two of them were sitting and two were standing, both like sculptures.

The stone above Tan Yao's feet was punched out from around and dragged out.

The person who rescued him helped him up. Tan Yao didn't know where the strength came from, and pushed the person away. Huo, wanted to say something, followed him to see Tan Yao's movements, and stopped the words in time.

Tan Yao lay on the ground, using both hands and feet, kneeling and crawling in one direction.

His fingers left mottled bloodstains on the ground, but he could no longer feel the pain, and his heart was numb from the pain.

Finally crawling in front of Xiaobai's body, Tan Yao stretched out his trembling hand a few times, but he didn't touch Xiaobai's body, he was too scared, afraid that this touch would be an irreversible situation, he still had a little extravagant hope.

I hope that Xiaobai is still deceiving him this time.

If he had a choice, he really hoped that Xiaobai could come to deceive him again.

"Ye Yang..." Tears welled up in Tan Yao's eyes, he tremblingly grabbed Xiaobai's shoulder, and shook Xiaobai lightly.

Xiaobai shook his crooked head, then Xiaobai fell into Tan Yao's arms.

Tan Yao's hand was pulled away violently, and a cold body bumped into his arms.

There is no trace of the heat of the past, as if he did not die just now, but died for a long, long time.

"Stop playing, someone is here to save us, open your eyes and see, don't you hate me, what do you mean by throwing yourself into your arms now?"

"Wake up, Ye Yang."

"You can do whatever you want, as long as you wake up."

"I will stay far away from you, and I will never appear in your sight."

"I beg you, open your eyes."

……

Tan Yao's mournful cries echoed in the narrow hole, and those who came down to rescue were infected by the sad atmosphere below, and did not go to disturb him immediately.

"Let's go, send Ye Yang up first, he probably won't like the environment here, it's too dark." Xia Yan put his hand on Tan Yao's shoulder and tightened slightly.

Tan Yao cried and laughed: "That's right, no one would like this place."

Tan Yao picked up Xiaobai's body from the ground, even though one leg hadn't moved for a long time, and he couldn't use his strength because of the numbness, he still tried his best to hug Xiaobai.

Xia Yan was on the other side helping.

"Pull him up first." Xia Yan said to the rescuer.

"Okay." The rescuer nodded, and then beckoned his companion to come over and tie the rope to Xiaobai's body.

Four people were pulled up one by one.

Xia Yan was the last one.

Many people gathered on the ground at this time, including Tan Yao's and Xia Yan's parents.

When they saw that their son was still alive, several parents ran up together.

However, the next moment, my own children didn't greet them with hugs, but they all looked in a certain direction together, looking at someone there.

Xie Caijue and Fang Qiu were always there, no one left, the first person to come out was Xiaobai, they both walked forward, but before they were completely settled, they discovered something unusual.

That's not the face that a normal person would have, it might as well be a dead body.

I can't feel the slightest breath of living beings.

The person was at Xie Caijue's place, he squatted down, looked at the person lying flat on the ground without breathing, and stretched out his hand to caress Xiaobai's cold cheek.

When Wei Chong came out the second, he asked, "How did you die?"

Wei Chong was supported, someone took clothes, put them on him, and gave him a bottle of water.

Wei Chong didn't drink it right away, his mouth still smelled of Xiaobai's blood, if he drank water, the taste might fade away.

"……Excessive bleeding."

The simple four words were enough for Xie Caijue to deduce the specific reason. He looked Xiaobai's body up and down, from head to toe, and saw no obvious wounds. His eyes wandered to Xiaobai's wrist covered by his sleeve.

He dropped his hands and pulled open his sleeves.

There were gasps all around.

Xie Caijue's complexion did not fluctuate, but his eyes changed instantly, it was so cold that he could freeze people.

With a sudden movement, Xie Caijue picked up the corpse lying on the ground.

Just at this time, Tan Yao rose from the bottom of the pit, saw Xie Caijue was about to leave with someone in his arms, and shouted hoarsely: "Don't touch him, Xie Caijue, let go of Ye Yang."

Xie Caijue didn't listen to Tan Yao's voice, he walked directly outside, and got into a car parked outside in a blink of an eye.

Then drove away from the newly opened road.

Fang Qiu followed to the outside of the street, got into the car, and followed Xie Caijue all the way.

Seeing the car behind from the side view mirror, Xie Caijue didn't take it seriously, the speed of the car didn't slow down, and he drove faster and faster.

Three days later, in a cemetery, a pitch-black coffin was slowly being placed into the pit.

There were quite a few people seeing off, Xie Caijue, Fang Qiu, and Tan Yao were all there.

No one spoke, and the mountain wind blew over.

Blowing into the hearts of everyone, with a biting chill.

A chubby panda floated behind the crowd. It looked at the coffin containing the corpse, which was covered by brown soil a little bit.

After a while, it turned its furry little head.

Look at the soul in a transparent state beside it.

"It's all over now, Xiaobai, you still refuse to leave, why?" Or in this world, there is already something that makes Xiaobai obsessed.

96 wondered if there was, what it would be.

Xiaobai shook his head: "I want to give them another gift."

"Gift?"

"Let's be a puppet." Every time you complete a task, you can get a certain reward, which is what Xiaobai wants here.

"Okay, what kind?"

"The one in the coffin."

96 stared at Xiaobai with distinct black and white round eyes, puzzled.

"The puppet produced will not have a soul, but just a body, which is considered a living dead."

"It's okay, let them think about it, otherwise it will appear that I'm too cruel." Xiaobai looked at several familiar faces across from him, showing a gentle smile.

When Xie Caijue and the others left from the cemetery, the souls of Xiaobai and 96 were blown away by a gust of wind.

Extra

Walk down the hill and board your respective cars.

Xie Caijue's car drove at the front and made a detour on the mountain road. After about half an hour, he left the mountain road and entered the spacious road in the suburbs.

Unexpectedly, a person walking on the sidewalk next to them appeared in sight.

As the car drove past, Xie Caijue seemed to be aware of it, and subconsciously glanced at him in the car mirror.

At this glance, he suddenly stopped the car.

The cars behind saw Xie Caijue suddenly stop, felt strange, and then looked to the right.

Then he made the same action as Xie Caijue.

The person walking slowly has the exact same face as Xiaobai, height and hairstyle, except for the different clothes, every part of his appearance seems to be a direct copy.

'He' looked at the people who surrounded him and blocked his way, blinked his eyes, and looked ignorant and dazed.

"You...you are..." Standing in front of the boy, Xie Caijue wanted to ask the other person's name, but when he met the boy's eyes as clear as glazed glass, he knew he had misunderstood the person.

'He' smiled, a silent laugh.

Walked towards Xie Caijue, then leaned over and threw himself into Xie Caijue's arms.

Like a cat, she buried her face in Xie Caijue's neck and stroked it lightly, as if seeking pleasure.

Xie Caijue hesitated for a moment, raised his arms, and embraced the man.

Xie Caijue took a special plane back to school with someone who looked like Ye Yang the next day.

The boy did not have an ID card on him, and there was a note with a phone number on him. He asked someone to find out. The phone number was from a mental hospital. The boy suffered from day travel when he was young, and he ran away from home several times. After being hit by a car, the family was mentally exhausted. Later, the mother gave birth to a healthy younger brother, so the family sent him to the hospital. The family moved to other places, and no contact with the boy was made.

Ye Yang's ID card was still with Wei Chong, Xie Caijue asked for it, and then placed him in a property under his name.

When there are classes, I go to school to attend classes. When I don't have classes, I take 'Ye Yang' to see or walk around.

Tan Yao, Fang Qiu and the others in another city would fly there from time to time to visit 'Ye Yang'.

This day may be everyone's heart-to-heart connection. On the day of Ye Yang's birthday, everyone rushed over together to wish 'Ye Yang' a birthday.

But before they could show any joy, the boy suffered from day-traveling again, and walked to the middle of the road alone. When the street lights turned red, a large truck accelerated and rushed over from a distance.

A few seconds later, the boy's body was directly hit and fell back to the ground from midair.

Scarlet blood spread out in an instant.

As for the few men standing on the side of the street, they just looked at him with blank expressions. Obviously, they never expected such a result. Call the police.

"You can go." On a tall building, Xiao Bai, who was in a state of soul, said to 96.

96 looked down at what was happening below.

Xiaobai seemed to know that 96 was confused, and said with a smile: "The one named Ye Yang looks the same as the one named Xiaobai, and they won't live long."

There was no warmth in his smile, only a coolness.
