Instructor, can I tag you?

The dim yellow light illuminated a small area of ​​the world, and the surrounding translucent gray-black glass tightly sealed this area that was less than one square meter in size.

After stepping into Qin Ran's spiritual world, as soon as Chen Yu opened his eyes, he found himself trapped in such a small airtight cabin.

Moreover, the feeling of emptiness under his feet told him that this cabin seemed to be rising all the time.

Just as he frowned slightly looking at such a scene, someone suddenly grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Brother, are you here to accompany me?" The clear boyish voice sounded.

Chen Yu looked down, only to see a boy with black hair and black eyes, a boy in his teens was watching him quietly from bottom to top, his eyes were full of surprise and expectation that couldn't be concealed.

However, for some reason, under such an expression, there was also a drop of tear on the corner of his eye, as if he had just cried not long ago.

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't believe it. If this is Qin Ran's spiritual world, then the soft and obedient boy in front of him is actually... Qin Ran?

After confirming this possibility again and again, Chen Yu twitched his lips. Could this be the power of time?

Just when he was in a daze, Xiao Qin Ran tugged on his sleeve again, with a nervous expression: "Brother?"

When his brother called out, Chen Yu inexplicably felt that his heart was hit hard and lightly, and even the tone of his speech became softer unconsciously, and he decided that he could coax him reluctantly: "Well, I'm here to accompany you. Yours. But first, can you tell me where this is?"

Xiao Qin Ran bent his eyes and smiled, revealing two small canine teeth that just came out. He shook his head and said, "Actually... I don't know very well, but my father told me that I can call this place, Xiaotian Ladder."

Little Huya is quite cute.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows while thinking: "Xiao Tian Lai? Why is it called this name?"

Qin Ran lowered his eyes, seemed to think for a while, and then said: "Because, this is the passage leading to heaven. Below the ladder is hell, and above the ladder is heaven."

Chen Yu frowned slightly, but before he could understand the deep meaning of this sentence, an alarm red light flashed on the gray-black glass covering them: "Please pay attention to the testers! Please pay attention to the testers! 30 Seconds later, this machine, namely Xiaotianti No. 0003, will rise from the eighth level of hell to the seventh level of hell!"

Hearing the electronic sound of the alarm, Xiao Qin Ran's face suddenly changed, and his hand holding Chen Yu's sleeve became even stronger, and there was even an unconcealable panic in his eyes: "No, brother, help me!" Help me, I don't want to, I don't want to go outside again!"

Chen Yu knelt down and looked at him at the same level: "Tell brother why you don't want to go outside, okay?"

Xiao Qin Ran didn't answer him immediately, but took the opportunity to plunge into his arms, big tears rolled down from his eyes: "Why can't you stay here, why did Dad send me in, The hell outside is really scary, they... many of them died, and those who didn't die all wanted to snatch the next ladder I got, brother, I'm really scared."

As he spoke, Xiao Qin Ran began to sob, two lines of tears fell down like he didn't want money.

Seeing Qin Ran like this, it was the first time in Chen Yu's life that he felt a little distressed towards a person. He let him rub back and forth in his arms, and he didn't mind the tears and snot all over the place. He clumsily stretched out his hand and patted him on the back, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, brother is here."

However, in the next second, a scalp-numbing chill suddenly rushed up Chen Yu's back.

Suddenly, a dagger appeared in Xiao Qin Ran's hand, and the sharp point of the knife was right now touching Chen Yu's left chest.

"So, brother, let me guess, are you here to take me out, or are you here to grab my ladder?"

Chen Yu's hand stroking Xiao Qin Ran's back was stiff, and he turned his head to look at him in disbelief.

At this moment, for some reason, Xiao Qin Ran's eyes had turned into a mass of pitch black just like in the real world, and the hostility that was so thick that it made one feel uncomfortable even to look at it gathered in the pupils, staring at Chen Yu closely.

Then, a glimmer of light exploded in Chen Yu's mind, and Xiao Qin Ran's bits and pieces of memory fragments flooded towards him like a tide.

He saw, in front of the monstrous sea of ​​flames, a man whose face could not be seen was holding Xiao Qin Ran's hand tightly, and said earnestly, "Son, listen to Dad, as long as you can pass this test, you will be able to ascend to the top of the mountain." Layer after layer of ladders, finally reach heaven, and even see the real God!"

"You must remember that you can't go back! You can only go up! You have to know that countless people will compete with you, but there are only so many places in heaven, so you have to defeat them, defeat them, and even kill them. kill them!"

Xiao Qin Ran trembled a little: "But...but I don't want to kill people."

The man broke Xiao Qin Ran's shoulder and held it tightly: "Did you forget, Xiao Ran, as long as you get to heaven, you will be able to see your mother. Don't you want to see your mother again?"

When we got here, this fragment of memory suddenly shattered, and the screen in front of us flickered, and then began to switch again.

This time, Chen Yu saw that on the huge black altar, Xiao Qin Ran was holding a gun, standing in front of the gray-black glass cabin suspended by iron chains, looking forward angrily and helplessly: "You... You clearly stated that you would like everyone to sit on the same ladder together, what do you mean now?"

In front of him, several adults with different expressions slowly approached him with their own spiritual bodies, and smiled triumphantly: "Hahahahahaha, brat, you have been in hell for such a long time, you Why are you still so naive? Then let the brothers and sisters tell you well, we are just trying to cheat you of this ladder in your hand, the beauty wants to sit with you, after all, no one can guarantee that several people will be together There will be no accidents on this ladder!"

"Also, look at this shitty place outside the ladder, hell is hell! Radiation, high temperature, extremely disgusting laboratory products, and those grandchildren who are eager to kill us, mom Yes, who wants to stay here?"

Having said that, their expressions gradually became ferocious: "So, you must die!"

As soon as the words fell, their mental bodies opened their bloody mouths one after another, and rushed towards Xiao Qin Ran with red eyes.

However, after a chaotic fight, they were also the ones who fell to the ground with disbelieving eyes.

"You little bastard... I... how could I... how could I not beat you?"

Xiao Qin leaned against the glass cabin, trembling all over his body, and kept talking to himself: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm using □□□, you won't die, don't blame me, I don't want to kill people, I really Those who don't want to kill..."

Recalling this point, Chen Yu suddenly felt that the entire spiritual world he was in began to shake violently.He couldn't even stand still, his body unconsciously leaned forward a little, the tip of the knife in Xiao Qin Ran's hand pierced through his white military uniform with a hiss.

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, forcing his consciousness out of Qin Ran's memories.

There is a sign of the collapse of the spiritual world, which is a manifestation of the state of deep night travel. If it is delayed, it will be extremely unfavorable to Qin Ran and him. It is very likely that the two will be trapped to death together in this damaged spiritual world. !

But, fortunately, he has found the source of Qin Ran's negative emotions - the fear of the world beyond the ladder.In other words, if this can take him out of the closed cabin representing the ladder, all the remaining problems will be solved.

Thinking of this, what Warner said reappeared in his mind: "Chen Yu, your ability is deception. So, you want you to know that as long as you are willing, no one can resist your bewitching, and Qin Ran is the same. He I will trust you unconditionally and rely on you, so only you can take him out of the night tour state."

The voice lingering in his ears faded away, and at the same time, the blood red color slowly rose from Chen Yu's eyes, but after a while, it completely soaked Chen Yu's entire pupils.

His eyes flickered slightly, and his slender five fingers climbed up to the hand holding the knife of Xiao Qin Ran and held it tightly, his voice was low and deep: "Qin Ran, listen to me, okay, this time, the outside world is not so scary. I'm here, no one can hurt you. So, be obedient, follow me out, okay?"

There was a moment of blankness in Xiao Qin Ran's icy eyes, and he opened his mouth to make a "good" mouth shape, but the next moment, he closed his mouth abruptly, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, Don't try to lie to me, Dad, and the original people, all said so, but in the end, they didn't all lie to me! I will never believe you again!"

Chen Yu didn't rush, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled lightly, the tiny red light spots in his eyes were reflected, which was amazingly beautiful: "But, you know, I'm not them, I won't lie to you. Trust me, okay?" , I will always, always be with you."

With a "bang", the dagger fell to the ground, and Xiao Qin Ran's tone faltered: "...Is what you said true? Will you really, always, always be with me?"

Hearing his question, Chen Yu froze for a moment.

Who would have thought that after more than ten years, Qin Ran, who was alone and unfettered, would ask such a question when he was a child?

But, after all, who is born to love solitude?And who would not want to get close to the person they like desperately, even without distinction between you and me?

"Will do."

Chen Yu replied.

"Ding Dong! Please pay attention to the testers! Please pay attention to the testers! Ladder No. 0003 has reached the seventh level of hell, and the hatch is about to open. I wish you pass the test and lead to heaven as soon as possible!"

In the background sound of the tablet, Chen Yu looked at Qin Ran and held his small hand that hadn't grown up.

Then, the cabin door opened, and the two of them took steps out together.

……

In front of the base in the real world, Chen Yu sat on his knees, one hand still resting loosely on Qin Ran's wrist.

And beside him, Qin Ran was buried deeply in his shoulder, his fingertips touched the back of his hand tentatively, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "...Thank you, my instructor."

Chen Yu twitched the corners of his mouth. It was rare that he didn't take this opportunity to choke him. Instead, he stretched out his hand to rub the soft black hair beside his ear, and said, "It's okay, it's over."

……

However, at this time, no one saw it. A man stood quietly by the window of the black tower in the distance. After looking at it for a long time, he said, "Su Liang, it's almost there. If we don't use that one again, we will use it this time." It’s going to come back in vain.”

A female voice came, a little hesitant: "But, isn't it a bit too much for us to do this? God's will, is it really that important? It's so important that we even have to give up our home planet and civilization?"

The man paused for a moment, and his tone sank: "Su Liang, you've changed. You used to never ask such questions, and even if you regret it now, it's useless."

The female voice was still hesitating, but after a while, she still spoke softly: "...Okay, then I will listen to you."

So, in the next second, a desolate and distant horn sounded suddenly over the base.

At the same time, the sacred meaning mixed in the sound of the horn made everyone's hearts tremble, and they all froze in place by coincidence.

At this moment, the communicator in Chen Yu's pocket rang crazily: "Major Chen! An SSS-level attack wave of mental power was detected from Qin Ran! Please stay away from the place immediately! Repeat again, please stay away from the place immediately!"
