Shi Qi reacted, and immediately felt that the thing he was holding was tightly grasped by the monster behind him.

The monster was very strong, so he had no choice but to let go of the little girl's hand decisively, and ran forward with Xuan Mu.

The surrounding environment turned into an endless grassland, Shi Qi Xin counted the distance, stretched out his hand to grab it, and successfully grabbed the folding ladder on the entrance of the cave.

Suddenly screaming and howling erupted behind him. Xuan Mu glanced back and saw that Jack grabbed the little girl with his sharp claws and twisted the little girl's limbs.

Is it really a choice between the two...!

Xuan Mu resisted the urge to retch, and followed Shi Qi up the folding ladder.

Back in the dimly lit hall of the haunted house, the grassland disappeared, and the monster also jumped up, so they had no choice but to keep running.

"He...has no end!" Xuan Mu shouted out of breath, "This is a fitness game!!"

A lot of exercise...

Shi Qi glanced at the fork in the road, pointed to one of them and shouted, "This way!"

Due to the closure, the mechanism of the haunted house became more sensitive. The two of them dodged back and forth to avoid the rushing things, and their movements couldn't help slowing down. Seeing that Jack was only a few meters away from them.

Shi Qi led Xuan Mu to turn left and right, and came to a single-plank bridge.

The fire was reflected on the wall, and hot magma was bubbling under the bridge, making a crackling sound.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Qi reached out to Xuan Mu's knees without hesitation, picked him up and hugged him, and Xuan Mu was stunned.

"Hmm! You..."

He hugged Shi Qi's neck reflexively, and before he had time to say anything, Shi Qi had already rushed up the single-plank bridge decisively.

He skillfully stopped for a few steps, dodged the swinging pendulum, and quickly came to the opposite bank. Then, while Jack was chasing to the bridge, he raised his leg and swiped the single-plank bridge under the magma.

Jack lost his balance at once, and fell hard into the magma along with the single-plank bridge.

Unwillingly, he roared miserably, stared at the two of them, and kept struggling in the magma to climb up.

Shi Qi glanced down, put Xuan Mu down, still panting heavily, "I came here when I was looking for you before... I'm afraid you won't be familiar with the mechanism."

Seeing Shi Qi Xingyun's smooth operation, Xuan Mu immediately guessed it, and then asked him, "Am I heavy?"

"It's okay," Shi Qi shook his head, "Eat more, you've lost weight."

Xuan Mu responded, and after a while, the top of Jack's head was completely submerged in the magma, and the surroundings returned to silence.

I thought it was some kind of big boss...too good...

That's not right... Maybe it's because Shi Qi is too strong.

"What should I do?" Xuan Mu glanced at the single-plank bridge submerged in the magma, "I can't get through."

"You can go around here," Shi Qi led Xuan Mu forward, glanced at his watch, "Let's..."

Before the words fell, there was a slight "bang" from his side. He paused for breath, conditioned reflex to protect Xuanmu, and looked vigilantly at the source of the sound.

It seemed like something had fallen from the ceiling.

After waiting for a while, Xuan Mu and Shi Qi looked at each other. After getting permission, he took a tentative step forward and picked up the gadgets on the ground.

"What's this……"

The ground suddenly shook violently, and some gravel fell from the ceiling, but before the two of them had time to react, the movement stopped, as if nothing had happened.

Xuan Mu: "...?"

This is really implementing the operating rules of the haunted house, and it will come out from time to time to scare you.

It's annoying enough...

"Let's find a safe place to stay first." Shi Qi put the gadget in his pocket, frowned and looked around, "Liu Yang should still be around here."

"Yes." Xuan Mu agreed to Shi Qi's proposal.

These supernatural things are scary enough, he really doesn't want to be tricked by players anymore.

Besides, my legs are a little sore and weak, my heart is still beating wildly due to strenuous exercise, I am hungry and tired, maybe I accidentally fell somewhere.

After thinking about it for a while, the two agreed that the light in the operating room was a little more adequate, and it was barely safe if they didn't pay attention to the corpses on the hospital bed and the dead babies on the ground.

The two paid attention to the movement around them, returned there carefully, and climbed into the operating room along the big hole in the door.

The legs of the chair were broken by smashing the door, and the two had to sit on the ground against the wall.

Xuan Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Look at the clues?"

Shi Qi let out a "hmm", took out the fragments from his pocket, and only then had time to examine them carefully by the light.

Xuan Mu leaned forward and squinted at the gadget in Shi Qi's hand. It seemed that there was a pattern of a sword drawn on it, and it glowed strangely under the light.

Shi Qi stroked the texture of the fragment with his fingers, "It's a fragment of a stone carving."

Xuan Mu nodded, took out a pen and paper from his bag, wrote down the words "Shards of Stone Carving", and tried to draw the pattern.

Shi Qi took out the previous photos and notebooks, and read them carefully several times.

"Do you think this place looks familiar?" Shi Qi finally pointed to the words 'Linjiang Avenue' in Marion's notebook.

"Huh?" Xuan Mu looked at the notebook, thought for a while, and shook his head.

Shi Qi was a little uncertain, "Do you still remember... the roadside stall where we ate curry fish balls?"

"Curry fish balls?" Xuan Mu was taken aback, "...you mean the waiting area?"

He seemed to have thought of something, recalled it for a few seconds, and a familiar image came to his mind, "Ah...the signboard of that stall seems to say - special snacks on Linjiang Avenue...is it?"

Shi Qi nodded, making sure that there was no mistake in his memory.

Xuan Mu suggested, "After customs clearance, shall we go to the waiting area to check?"

"Okay." Shi Qi put away the clues together, and vaguely heard a "goo" coming from beside him.

He glanced sideways at Xuan Mu, reached out to search in his pocket, and took out something and handed it to Xuan Mu.

"?" Xuan Mu saw the chocolate in the opponent's hand clearly, and took it over, "Why do you still have chocolate..."

"I thought you would be hungry, so I took a few more." Shi Qi said.

"Oh," Xuan Mu was not polite, tore open the package of chocolate, took a small bite, and asked vaguely, "What time is it?"

Shi Qi raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "It will be a while before dawn."

Xuan Mu noticed the watch on Shi Qi's wrist, thought of something, and suddenly stopped chewing.

"?" Shi Qi looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"No," Xuan Mu immediately came back to his senses, and stared straight ahead in a blink of an eye, "...it's nothing."

Shi Qi observed Xuan Mu's expression, did not speak, took out the thermos cup and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

Xuan Mu remembered that Shi Qi gave him a watch on his birthday, but he didn't seem to have seen that watch since entering the game.

The watch in Shi Qi's hand...why does it look like...the couple model of his watch? ?

In the past two years when he liked Shi Qi, Xuan Mu never thought that it was actually a double arrow. Now combined with Shi Qi's performance these days, everything is actually obvious.

He took a deep breath and took a bite of the chocolate in his hand.

The people around glanced at Xuan Mu's somewhat dry lips, put the rim of the cup to Xuan Mu's lips, and said, "Drink some water."

Xuan Mu responded, and took a sip of cold water on Shi Qi's hand.

Shi Qi seemed to have noticed something, hesitated for a while, "Did you remember something?"

Xuan Mu paused.

Shi Qi stared at him for a while, then said, "Your tone has never been right."

Xuan Mu seemed to be scalded by the scorching eyes, and immediately turned his eyes away, and said in a small voice, "Just a little bit."

Shi Qi gave a soft "oh".

Xuan Mu finished the chocolate in two or three bites, took out the card machine to check the time, and sat there quietly with his knees hugged, without speaking.

The air suddenly fell silent.

Shi Qi couldn't help but asked again, "What did you remember?"

Xuan Mu was stunned for a while, then turned his head to look at Shi Qi for a few seconds, then hesitated and whispered.

"You... don't you think this scene seems familiar?" He paused, "The first time I saw you outside the school, we sat next to each other like this... Do you remember?"

Shi Qi glanced at him suspiciously, and said "hmm".

"It's okay." Xuan Mu's expression was slightly restrained.

Shi Qi: "?"

"Fortunately, I met you that day." Xuan Mu seemed to have experienced a long psychological struggle, "Fortunately, I had you."

Shi Qi frowned, noticing that the other party's tone was wrong, "What?"

Xuan Mu leaned back against the wall, his whole body relaxed, but his voice trembled unconsciously, "I couldn't control myself that day, I fought with them... Fortunately, you stopped me..."

"What do you want to say?" Shi Qi interrupted him.

Xuan Mu raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Qi, and couldn't avoid meeting the other's eyes, he couldn't help feeling flustered, "..."

The air was silent for a long while, and Shi Qi felt inexplicably agitated, "Say it."

Xuan Mu sighed, his eyelids slightly closed, and he opened his mouth slowly, "Because I found out..."

"If I hadn't met you that day, if you hadn't pulled me away... I might still be the Xuanmu who is easily dominated by rage and would fight with others if there is a disagreement."

Shi Qi: "..."

Xuan Mu lowered his eyes.

During the two years of knowing Shi Qi, Xuan Mu has actually been able to control himself very well, trying not to care about those ugly words.

However, during the time when he lost his memory, Xuan Mu discovered that after being irritated by Lin Xianghua and Liu Yang, he always wanted to do it habitually, and there was no other better solution.

If there is no time...

"So I know... The hurdle that I really struggle to overcome is not domestic violence, nor is it the weak self who cannot resist authority, but the violent tendency engraved in the bones, which is inherited from that person's genes."

He finished speaking in one breath and closed his eyes.

Maybe it's genes, maybe it's the deep-rooted influence of the acquired environment, he has always lived in that depressed state.

Just like the low self-esteem and extremes hidden in my heart, I can't tell when I will come out and stab myself.

"I've always been afraid," Xuan Mu's voice trembled, "not because I was afraid of those dark childhood experiences, but... because I was afraid that I would gradually become like him, the person I hated the most. kind……"

"Shut up." Shi Qi interrupted him coldly.
