"Although you can now enter Qi Ya's inner world, after Lily's memory plagiarism, his inner world is riddled with holes and is very fragile, so this time you can only go alone, I can't help you gone."

"Little Jie, you must find him who is sleeping somewhere in your inner world in the shortest possible time. The sooner the better, otherwise it will be too late."

Xiao Xiang raised his hand, put away the umbrella, put his hands against the tip and handle of the umbrella, and at the same time slapped it hard, turning the virtual shadow umbrella into a six-sided dice the size of a thumb.

He spread out his palm, and the snow-white dice were spinning above his palm.

"You haven't used the opportunity to use the ability dice today. I have combined three opportunities without authorization. In this way, sixteen sides will become six."

"This is the only chance. If you still can't wake up Qi Ya after you find him, then try this again."

Xiao Xiang raised his hand, and the dice in his palm turned into a white awn and he threw it out, and was grabbed by Xiao Jie who suddenly stretched out his hand.

"Ah."

With a serious face, Xiaojie nodded heavily.

"By the way, I'm confirming for the last time."

Xiao Xiang turned sideways, pointed to Qi Ya who was leaning on the side of the box and covered under a piece of plastic sheeting, and raised his chin at Xiao Jie.

"Because I can't go in with you this time, so I can only guide you in the way I go in, but not the way out for you. Once you get lost in Qi Ya's inner world, maybe you will fall into a long sleep with him , I can't do anything about it."

Xiaojie smiled.

"Well, it's okay, I can do it."

Xiao Xiang stared at Xiao Jie for a while with that phantom face without facial features, and finally shook his head.

"Okay, I'm talking too much."

"Don't think too much, just walk in, I will guide you, are you ready?"

"it is good."

Xiaojie swallowed, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then raised his hand and patted his face.

"Get ready... let's get started, Xiao Xiang!"

Xiao Xiang nodded, and suddenly his figure collapsed, condensing into the appearance of a handbook.

The manual was suspended in the air, and the pages automatically turned into a golden light without wind, linking to Xiaojie who was in the soul state and Qiya who was sleeping on the ground.

Xiaojie faintly felt the familiar attraction of Qi Ya, and his back was sweating nervously, but there was a pure smile on his face.

"...Thank you, Xiaoxiang."

Then he stepped out, and the moment his toes touched Qi Ya's abdomen, his whole body fell into Qi Ya's body instantly like a drop of water falling into the water surface, without a trace.

After Xiaojie disappeared, the light of the handbook left in the distance dimmed, and the next second it fell to the ground and was covered with dust, turning into an ordinary notebook.

There seemed to be a faint sigh from Xiaoxiang in the air.

"Thank you, thank you, who told me that I am a carefree guide..."

"Remember to leave me a red envelope after you succeed, Xiaojie."

After Xiaojie entered Qiya's inner world, he didn't go directly into the corridor full of picture frames as usual, but landed on a huge broken stone step covered with green ants.

"!"

The moment he landed on the ground, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the soles of his feet. He raised his feet and found that the soles of his bare/bare feet were dripping with blood, and there were countless small blood grooves.

Xiaojie took a closer look and found that in addition to the blue and greasy steps, there were some black thorns growing densely on the ground. Because the thorns of these thorns were only one or two centimeters long, they were tightly adsorbed on the surface of the stone steps, and the material was similar to the stone steps. , so it is difficult to be seen by the naked eye

feel.

"This is Qi Ya's heart... No, this should be the 'lock' on Lily, to prevent external consciousness from entering Qi Ya's heart."

The stone steps were more than one meter wide, and the left and right sides were plunged into a deep black nothingness. He looked up along the long blue stone steps, and found that the top of the stone steps was also plunged into darkness, with no end in sight. The height that can be reached is probably thousands of steps.

And it seems that, apart from the thorns all over the ground, the road above is not easy to walk, and every one or two hundred steps will disappear inexplicably, leaving only a few pieces of gravel the size of feet floating in the void.

In this space, Xiaojie seemed to be the same person he hadn't practiced two years ago. His body was terribly heavy, and he couldn't run at all. He could only walk like an ordinary person.

While Jay didn't know what would happen if he fell into the darkness around the stone steps, the result must have been unpleasant.

"...It looks quite challenging, I have to be more serious."

Xiaojie raised his lips and smiled, and walked up without hesitation.

In just a few steps, the soles of his feet were bloody and bloody, and there was no good piece of flesh, but his face did not change at all, and he seemed to feel no pain—if it wasn't for his fists clenched by his sides, which were bruised and slightly bruised. trembling words.

[It's okay, it's okay, after walking this road, you can see Qi Ya later. 】

[I don't care what I do, only him I can't lose. 】

With a smile on his face, Xiaojie walked up the steps firmly step by step.

Behind him, more and more bloody footprints appeared on the black moss, soaking up little by little, and being slowly absorbed.

As the walking time increased, the muscles on Xiaojie's body became more and more tense, and the smile on his face became slightly stiffer.

Sweat soaked his pale green shirt, which clung tightly to the contours of his body.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he felt that his legs were no longer connected to his body, but two machines for walking.

And he found that no matter how he went up, the top of the steps was still wrapped in a thick fog of darkness, and it was impossible to see where the stone steps ended.

In a trance, Xiaojie felt that he had returned to the first round of the hunter exam a long time ago, running in the underground corridor with no end in sight, with darkness in front of him and behind him, without end.

But the difference is that although the journey was long that time, at least he had companions and examiners by his side, and he still knew in his heart that no matter how long the journey was, it would have an end.

However, this barrier set up by Lily, he was the only one walking silently throughout the whole process. On this lonely road, there was no companion who could talk, and there was no light at all... Maybe even the stone steps are just a blindfold, like The tricks like ghost hitting the wall can also

Maybe he will always just circle in place, and he won't be able to notice it at all.

【Maybe there is no end...】

Such thoughts flashed through Xiaojie's mind, and he quickly extinguished them.

(How long have I been walking, how long is this stone step, what is the situation at Qi Ya's side, whether Lily has successfully treated me...)

(Could I have lost it?)

These thoughts buzzed in his mind like flies that could not be extinguished.

Although Xiaojie repeatedly reminded himself not to think too much, people's subconscious mind is out of control, and the more he stops himself from thinking, he will fall into an embarrassing situation with counterproductive effects.

He lowered his eyes, trying to clear the messy thoughts in his mind.

Every time he walks a distance, he will repeat a question to himself.

【Can I continue walking? 】

After the first fall with his leg weak, a large piece of skin was scratched on Xiaojie's knee by thorns, and no matter how hard he tried, the injured leg shook like chaff, and he couldn't fully control it.

Xiaojie chooses to ignore it and move on.

forward, forward.

So there was the second time, the third time... numerous falls.

There are more and more bloodstains on Xiaojie's body, and they are getting deeper and deeper.

At the end, he was almost half crawling on the ground, slowly wriggling forward.

"Kiya... help me."

Xiaojie raised half of his face, the light in his dull eyes became weaker and weaker, like a candle flickering in the wind.

He didn't shed tears, but the bloodstains on his forehead, which had been knocked to pieces, were like silent tears of blood.

Suddenly a breeze blew past Xiaojie's ears, and a faint blue light, like a light butterfly, lingered on the tip of his nose for a moment, then was suddenly swept up and quickly fell into the darkness under the steps.

Xiaojie stared blankly at the light disappearing into the darkness under the steps.

"Kiya, is that you?"

He muttered to himself.

Afterwards, a big smile appeared on Xiaojie's face, and together with the light in his eyes, it lit up like a bonfire suddenly rising.

"Are you telling me to go down, I understand."

"I'll come right away."

In the next second, Xiaojie stood up without hesitation, and flew into the void outside the steps.

The familiar feeling of falling came, and it continued to fall without stagnation, as if it would not stop until it fell into the abyss of hell.

Xiaojie opened his arms loosely, and his whole body was spread out in the air that kept falling.

At this moment, he didn't think about anything, just relaxed his body and mind.

He didn't consider whether this was another trap of Lily's to lure him into getting lost in this void, and he didn't consider whether this impulsive move was a decision made by his inner collapse.

He just felt Qi Ya's aura at that moment, and whether it was his illusion or not, he was willing to devote himself to this aura.

After that, endless falls.

It was another period of falling for an unknown period of time. When Xiaojie fell into the sea-like blue smoke again, he finally opened his eyes.

The second he landed lightly, the soles of his feet clicked, and he fell to the ground weakly.

[···Is there still time? 】

When walking up the steps before, he didn't feel the passage of time at all. Xiaojie even had the illusion that a month had passed in the outside world... However, he has not been forcibly summoned back into his body, which means that Lily has not yet successfully treated him. him.

He stood up slowly, supported the cracked gray wall beside him, and raised his eyes to look around.

This is indeed Qiya's inner corridor before, but now the blue fog is still there, but the surroundings are dilapidated, and even the portraits hanging on the wall are scattered, most of which are missing.

Xiaojie silently felt the degree of damage to his body, suppressed the severe pain all over his body, and after panting for a while, gritted his teeth and walked forward while supporting the wall.

He didn't know where Killua was, or where he might appear.

But he had a feeling that as long as he kept walking, he could be found.

This is just an illusory sixth sense, but what is ridiculous now is that he can only rely on the sixth sense.

Because he didn't even have a clue, but time was running out.

"Kiya..."

The light and flowing blue mist around him surged endlessly as Xiaojie walked by, and he also walked more and more slowly. Due to excessive blood loss, snowflakes began to appear in front of his eyes, and his body was also light.

He raised his hand amusedly to look at his scarred palm, and said softly.

"It's obviously a spirit body, why does it feel the same as the real body?"

"Qi Ya is locked up alone now... Is he also afraid?"

Just like Xiaojie now, fear of the unknown, and fear.

In order not to miss a chance, Xiaojie whispered Qiya's name almost every step he took, but the surrounding was eerily silent, except for the rustling of the blue mist and the slight sound of his feet stepping on the ground. , and there was no other sound.

Xiaojie felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and he even wanted to retract his hands that were holding on to the wall to embrace his gradually icy body.

He faintly felt a suction coming from afar.

Alluka's healing may have begun!

"No, not yet, absolutely not going back."

Xiaojie opened his frightened eyes, clinging tightly to the wall, trying to hold on to the cracks in the wall to resist the stronger and stronger suction.

"Please, wait a little longer, at least let me find him!"

Xiaojie fell to his knees in pain, clasping the ground with his hands, his body struggling violently, resisting the inexplicable suction force.

I don't know how long it took, when Xiaojie's whole body was limp and sweaty, the confrontation between him and the suction finally came to an end.

He temporarily won the confrontation, kneeling on the gravel-strewn ground, lingering on his last breath.

But he knew that this was just the first wave, and there would definitely be stronger attractions in the future.

[You must use your ability, otherwise it will be too late. 】

He took out the dice that Xiaoxiang handed him, and checked the words on each side with trembling hands.

"Whispering? No, I'm not reading it right now, and I can only convey it up to 50 meters away. What if Qiya is 50 meters away from me... a letter? No, what else is there..."

Xiaojie looked anxiously at the abilities above, and suddenly his eyes focused, and he saw one side.

Wife Peeping.

his original abilities.

He doesn't have Nian now, so he doesn't need to use Nian to determine the level of Whisper, but this ability has already been upgraded long ago, and it doesn't require Nian power to activate, but it can be used.

And a radius of 500 meters is enough.

He raised the dice in his hand, bowed his head and kissed the side where peeping was written.

"···please."

Then, he threw the dice without hesitation!

The dice thrown by him instantly fell into the blue mist on the ground, causing Xiaojie to bend down to watch.

His eyeballs rolled nervously with each turn of the dice.

"···three."

"two."

"one."

Little Jaymo counted the countdown when the dice stopped, and Qi Ya's smile flashed across his mind.

[It must be peeping! 】

【Qi Ya, if this is your world, please bless us. 】

I don't know if Xiaojie's prayers had an effect. Three seconds later, while the dice was spinning on the ground, before it stopped on the side of the letter, it suddenly hit a small stone and bounced again.

Xiaojie's heart suddenly tightened.

But very fortunately, after the dice hit again, the side that was about to stop on the letter was forcibly turned to peeping.

He let out a long breath, and quickly picked up the dice on the ground.

The moment his fingertips touched the dice, the dice turned into a puff of cold smoke and instantly sank into his forehead.

Xiaojie opened his eyes, shivering from the cold breath.

A virtual map slowly opened in his mind. In the map, a dilapidated corridor stretched left and right, gradually becoming clearer.

Xiaojie's heart is constantly lifted as the map gradually unfolds.

[Don't be 500 meters away, Qiya! 】

Fortunately, when the corridor extended to about 400 meters, a striking red dot suddenly appeared in the picture.

Afterwards, the extension of the map came to an abrupt end, turning into a puff of green smoke and disappearing.

Yet this is enough!

Xiaojie got up suddenly, but with the screaming pain in his body, he ran wildly towards the direction he had glimpsed just now.

As if his potential had been aroused all of a sudden, it took him more than ten seconds to run across the distance of hundreds of meters, but when he finally stopped at a certain point, he was stunned.

nobody.

At the place where Qiya’s red dot was displayed on the map, there was no one there, only a huge picture frame hanging in the air.

Xiaojie collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with bewilderment and despair.

Misfortunes never come singly, the previous suction that Xiaojie forcibly resisted swept back again, and this time the suction was a hundred times stronger than before.

At that moment, he almost thought that he would be taken away like this. ,

Yet again he resisted.

"...There is still hope!"

Since it was shown on the map, it meant that Qi Ya must be here, but he didn't find it.

Xiaojie has never been the kind of person who would give up easily. Even if he hits the south wall, he will definitely break the wall stubbornly and continue walking.

Following this thought, he looked left and right again, but he couldn't find Qi Ya, and finally he set his sights on the giant picture frame behind him.

He is also very familiar with this painting, which recorded the scene of him and Qi Ya watching the fireworks of the confession in GI.

It is also Xiaojie's favorite, saddest and most touching painting.

This painting records Qi Ya's most youthful and passionate emotions at the beginning, and the fiery red night sky is the truest portrayal of his heart at that time.

Xiaojie has seen it. Before GI, the records between them in Qiya’s eyes seemed to be more about friendship. However, starting from GI, Qiya’s feelings for him really began to ferment and become different. .

Here, unlike the dark and bitter memory of Ant later, this relationship here is the purest and most beautiful time between them.

There seems to be something wrong with Qi Ya's movements in the painting now.

Xiaojie could tell something was wrong almost at a glance, after all, he had stopped and looked at the painting for a long time before.

In my memory, Qi Ya in the painting should have been looking sideways at Xiao Jie, but here, Qi Ya leaned his head on Xiao Jie's shoulder, closed his eyes, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

The painting is Qiya's memory. The memory that has happened is already an established reality, and it is impossible to change it. If there is any change, then there must be some kind of problem with the owner of the memory.

He immediately thought of the location shown by the red dot on the previous map, and a bold idea crossed his mind.

···Could it be?

Xiaojie stood up at once, threw himself on the frame, and slapped him heavily.

"Qi Ya! Qi Ya! It's me, Xiaojie! I'm here to save you!"

"If you are really here, then quickly open your eyes and look at me!"

Even the last resting place is also this memory, Qi Ya, don’t be so unambitious, I am clearly right in front of your eyes, don’t indulge in the beautiful past!

That kind of dream, I will work together with you in the future to make it a reality.

So open your eyes now and look at me!

"Qi Ya——!!!"

However, no matter how he slapped it, Qi Ya in the frame never moved at all.

The more he slapped and shouted, the more Xiaojie closed his eyes in pain.

The pulling force on his body from afar was already so strong that it was about to tear his flesh apart. On the contrary, his movement of slapping the picture frame gradually became slower and his strength gradually weakened.

[No, stop! 】

[Obviously I have found him... Could it be that all efforts are in vain! 】

"Kiya, open your eyes quickly... I'm right in front of you."

Xiaojie murmured.

He who had been holding back tears all this time finally couldn't bear it this time, and warm tears welled up in his eyes.

"I know that we had a lot of unhappiness during the period of the ants, but just like that, it made you a coward, don't you want to face reality again—Qi Ya, answer me!"

Xiaojie choked up his voice, and finally the hand that was patting the picture frame was unable to lift it up, but slowly slid down against the picture frame.

Qi Ya still didn't respond.

His figure began to become nothingness, and he was no longer able to resist the powerful attraction in the distance.

"I see. It's my fault. I made you feel extremely insecure. Every time I make you hide and cry, it's my arrogance."

"But... do the memories of the past really make you so addicted?"

"You... idiot."

Xiaojie raised his head and wiped away the tears from his eyes. In the end, a big smile appeared on his face.

He stood on tiptoe and lightly kissed Qi Ya's side face in the painting.

"Maybe it's the last time, and there will be no chance in the future."

"I only have time to say one thing, I hope you can listen to it this time."

"Kiya, I like you too."

Goodbye for real this time, Chiya.

I pray to God that I can only remember you when I wake up.

At the moment when he kissed it, before he had time to see Qi Ya for the last time, he suddenly turned into a cloud of crystal dust in the air and disappeared into Qi Ya's world.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away, Xiaojie, who had been repaired by Alluka on the hospital bed, moved his fingers and slowly opened his eyes.

Qi Ya, who had been waiting outside the hospital bed holding his right hand, stood up abruptly, and said joyfully, "Xiaojie!"

He pounced on him and hugged Xiaojie who got up dazedly into his arms, the corners of his eyes were moist with joy.

"You finally woke up!"

Xiaojie moved his eyes from side to side a little sluggishly, his eyes flicked across the faces of the excited crowd one by one, and finally fixed on Qi Ya's excited reddish face in front of him.

He slowly revealed a sunny smile that everyone is familiar with.

"Well! I'm back."

Xiaojie suddenly held Qi Ya's face, and when he was dazed and didn't react, he raised his head and kissed him.

Everyone immediately exclaimed, and then, led by Kurapika, everyone applauded continuously.

Xiaojie smiled and then pressed the back of Qi Ya's head, deepening the kiss.

"... Chiya, I miss you so much."

On his lips, the words gradually disappeared into the air.
