Shi Qi took out the card machine from his pocket, clicked on the screen, and opened the map page. There were still 4 survivors left in the upper right corner of the screen.

The last safe zone was refreshed, and the countdown counted down for two hours. A solid red dot landed in a small building at the foot of the other side of the snow mountain. The two of them stopped wasting time and quickly moved down the mountain.

"Wait..." Shi Qi paused, "I always feel like I forgot something?"

"..." Xuan Mu frowned and thought about it for a while, and it took him a long time to think of something, and he slapped his head, "Josi!"

Turning around and returning to the mountain, they took back the trolley fixed behind the rock, and the two of them pushed it down the mountain.

Xuan Mu glanced at Josi who was lying in the cart like a dead dog, couldn't help kicking him, and muttered, "Why isn't he awake? He's dead already?"

"..."

Josi: How dare I wake up? ?

As soon as he opened his eyes, he realized that he was lying in an old cart, and when he looked up, he saw the two lying on the snow, whispering, so he suppressed the movement with great insight.

"Going down the mountain is easier than going up." Shi Qi looked around for a while, caught a glimpse of a few long planks under a tree not far away, and took a step forward to move them over. "Use tools to slide down, it will be faster."

"Alright," Xuan Mu nodded, and pointed to Josi in the trolley, "Then what should he do?"

Shi Qi thought for a while: "Have you ever seen a dog sled? It just so happens that the trolley has wheels, so you just pull the rope and let the trolley slide our board."

Joss: "...???"

"Is it safe?" Xuan Mu patted the board and tried to sit on it, "Would the cart not overturn?"

Shi Qi said with a smile: "Probably not...if it is properly controlled?"

"...??" Josi was shocked and raised his hand from the trolley tremblingly, "Brother... I woke up! Brother!! Please don't let me roll over..."

Shi Qi couldn't help laughing "puchi" - he had actually noticed that the person in the car had woken up a long time ago, but the atmosphere was just right, and he didn't want to be distracted to take care of him.

"Finally awake?" Xuan Mu raised his eyebrows, "I thought you were going to sleep until you cleared the level?"

"Don't dare dare... how dare you let the two brothers push me to pass the level..." Jos quickly climbed out of the cart, patted the ashes on his body, and took a wooden board from under the tree.

Shi Qi spliced ​​together several wooden boards to increase the stability of the hand-made sled, and sat on the wooden board with Xuan Mu in his arms, holding a wooden stick to control the direction.

Xuan Mu turned his head and said to Qiao Si: "You control the car, don't overturn the car, we won't catch you if it overturns."

"Oh, oh..." Jos moved his butt carefully, "I'll try my best..."

So they didn't waste any time, each took a simple homemade sled and slid to the foot of the mountain against the wind and snow, and the whole process went smoothly.

The three of them followed the map to find the location of the solid red dot. After walking about 500 meters, they found that the building at the foot of the mountain had been buried by the wind and snow, leaving only a roof protruding from the snow. It is the Linjiang Avenue reached after the previous game ended.

"Is this where 'her' used to live?" Xuan Mu asked.

"Yeah." Shi Qi nodded.

The three of them carefully climbed up the dilapidated roof, stood at the position marked by the red dot, and took out the card machine—but the screen showed that they were not within the safe zone.

"How could this be?" Josi slapped the screen hard, "A malfunction?"

"Could it be that we have to wait for the countdown to end?" Xuan Mu glanced at the one-hour countdown on the screen.

Shi Qi frowned, clicked on the blood volume in the upper left corner, and then clicked on the number of survivors, but there was no response: "Besides us... there seems to be another player."

Jos was taken aback: "Then it won't be too obvious when we stand here..."

"On the way here just now, I looked around for a while, but I didn't find anyone else," Xuan Mu said, "And the round of Linjiang Avenue ahead is not within the safe zone."

Shi Qi thought about it for a while, and tried to click on the solid red dot, and then a dialog box popped up on the screen immediately——(28) marked in white font and (493,0,-28,493) marked in red font.

Xuan Mu's brain was blank for two seconds, and he quickly realized: "Coordinate axis?"

"Yes," Shi Qi pointed to the ground, "Depth -10, it's underground."

The three hurriedly climbed down from the roof, observed the exposed roof, and successfully found a glass window leading to the interior of the building.

Shi Qi smashed the glass window with the help of a wooden stick, and found that the building was pitch black, so he took out a flashlight from his bag and took a look inside—the interior of the building has collapsed to varying degrees, the ground is full of bones, and the surrounding environment cannot be seen clearly. too real.

He led Xuanmu, tried to get into the window and walked a few steps forward, and after confirming that it was safe, he motioned for Josi to follow.

"The 0 coordinate has become -2," Joss tugged at Xuan Mu's sleeve, motioning him to look at the card machine, "Should we continue?"

"Well," Xuan Mu handed him a flashlight, "Look for the stairwell."

The walls and floors of the building were stained with a thick layer of dust, and the air was a little stale. Xuanmu couldn't help coughing a few times.

Shi Qi seemed to have noticed something, took out a tissue from Xuan Mu's bag, and wiped the dust on the wall beside him - only to see a 'Caution xx' icon on it, two of which were stained black with ink.

Xuan Mu caught a glimpse of the sign, and was stunned for a moment, and the memory immediately flooded his mind: "Is it the 'Be careful of radiation' at the entrance of the CT room of the Psycho Hospital?"

"Correct."

Shi Qi led them to move on, and soon came to the stairwell on the third floor of the original hospital.

The moment he successfully stepped on the ground of the second floor, the scenes outside the windows on both sides of the corridor slowly lit up. Not far from the left is the Linjiang Avenue in the undecided area, and on the right is a small villa. There was a five or six-year-old girl lying on her stomach, it was Xia Yue who was still young back then.

After a while, the girl seemed to see something suddenly, and the corner of her mouth curled into a smile.

Everyone followed the girl's gaze, and found that the red-eyed and blond-haired Ilya who was seen in the photo of the first game was lying on the left side of the window, waving at Xia Yue.

"There is the last piece of stone carving left," Xuan Mu said, "Is it possible that it is Illya?"

Xia Yue and Yi Liya should be half-sisters, and Yi Liya happens to be the child more favored by his father.

Shi Qi shook his head: "Continue to look down first."

He glanced at his watch, and the time was more pressing than they thought, so he led them to continue towards the stairwell on the second floor.

The collapse on the second floor was more serious than that on the third floor. The stairwell was completely crushed under the huge stones. The three of them had to move quickly along the corridor to find other passages, and soon found a small hole in the collapsed floor.

The coordinates on the card machine changed to -7, and everyone went straight to the stairwell leading to the basement, still unable to move on.

At this moment, the scene outside the window lit up again—the girl Ali, who was seen in the third escape room movie, was lazily sitting in the corner of the dance studio and resting with her eyes closed.

15-year-old Xia Yue quietly hid behind the door of the dance studio, staring at the girl like stars in her eyes.

He approached Ali with light steps, and stared at her for a while, as if hesitating.

"...What is she going to do?" Jos asked a minor question.

After the picture was still for dozens of seconds, Xia Yue finally made a decision, slowly approached Ali, and planted a pious and solemn kiss on her lips.

"??!" Jos was shocked, "Is this the relationship between them?!"

Xuan Mu: "... Isn't this obvious?"

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang from the walls on both sides, and the window glass suddenly shattered into spider webs. The sound of crying and scolding came with 3D surround effects, and everyone stepped into the hall at the same instant.

The phantom Xia Yue was crucified on the cross in the lobby on the first floor, and the phantom 'Ali' seen in the window just now was throwing the lighter in his hand back and forth, signaling others to pour gasoline on Xia Yue.

She smiled and kicked Xia Yue's body, and lit the cross.

The fire became more and more intense, and after tens of seconds, Ali suddenly let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground as if she had seen a ghost.

The bronze door behind the cross turned into the No. 4 Emperor Tarot Card. Xia Yue showed a sad and desperate expression in the fire, and shifted his gaze to the three of them.

"This is my past," Xia Yue smiled at them, but the corners of her eyes kept streaming with blood and tears, "This is also my ending."

Shi Qi looked directly into her eyes, and slowly uttered two words: "Xia Yue."

Xuan Mu held Shi Qi's hand tightly.

"I played a game with most of the players," Xia Yue moved her body that was burned by the flames, and said slowly, "Some people are greedy, some are fearful, some become horrified, and some are like you. what you really want."

Joss: "..."

Xuan Mu looked at Xia Yue whose body was mostly burned on the cross, and couldn't help asking, "...What about you?"

Xia Yue slowly turned her eyes to him: "What?"

Xuan Mu asked, "Do you know what you want?"

"Good question," Xia Yue smiled, "Maybe it's clear, maybe it's not clear."

She went on: "I thought I'd found a home for my pain and ruined their lives...but that's not the case."

Shi Qi stared at her closely: "It is true that they have nowhere to escape in your spiritual world, but they are also tormenting you who created the world."

Revenge and forgiveness cannot be completely liberated, only letting go is.

Xia Yue smiled, and said in a hoarse voice: "I created this game to give all those who have suffered pain a chance of redemption, but it also brought a price."

"The little girl in your team made a wish to let the mother who hurt her die, but in the end, she felt that the family relationship is not so easy to let go, so that she has been unable to make this decision, and can only stay in the game world to escape reality... And Li Kuangyu was distracted by his girlfriend's unreasonable demands one after another, and turned to such a game for help, so that he didn't even realize that his family was sick."

There is no curse of not being able to return to real life at all, it is just an excuse they make for themselves.

"I created this world, and I wished to imprison those who have brought me pain in this horrible world I created, to use your hands to avenge me and destroy them...but they were indeed destroyed, but Also in another form, which is what you say, become an NPC and still exist in this world."

Shi Qi noticed what Xia Yue was clutching in her hand, looked at her nearly burnt body, and asked, "What about her?"

"Her?" Xia Yue glanced at Shi Qi suspiciously, followed his gaze to the gadget in her hand, and sneered inaudibly, "You saw it too... I was burned alive by her." Here, so I turned into a ghost and returned to her."

The dense white bones on Xia Yue's body fell to the ground piece by piece, and at the moment when the fire engulfed her, she uttered a sentence lightly: "I went back to her, cut her alive piece by piece, and made her a Evil..."

The ground began to collapse, and the three of them fell straight into the basement floor. The stone fragments of the 'scepter' in Xia Yue's hand also fell to the ground, and the surroundings began to burst into flames. Four bronze monuments with serial numbers appeared in front of them. .

"Ah Xuan! Fragments of stone carvings!"

Feeling the vibration of the ground and the high temperature of the flames, Shi Qi rushed over to pick up the fragments of the 'scepter' stone carving, and shouted hoarsely at Xuan Mu.

Xuan Mu moved quickly to take out the three stone carving fragments collected earlier. At this moment, the surrounding flames seemed to be catalyzed by something, and suddenly spread towards them.

Josi wobbled and stood up straight, glanced at the original bronze door on the first floor, and saw a time bomb/bomb placed on it: "There are still 2 minutes! Hurry up!"

With trembling hands, Xuan Mu put the fragments of stone carvings into the monument, but there was no response.

"How...how could it be!"

"Sequence!" Shi Qi dodged the stones that kept falling down, "If Jack represents 'Qi' - the beginning of the tragedy, the doctor represents 'Cheng', and the clown represents 'Turn', then The last stone fragment may be 'He'!"

Xuan Mu immediately reacted and quickly took out all the stone carving fragments from the grooves. At this moment, there were only 20 seconds left in the countdown.

"Quick!" Shi Qi raised the wooden plank and smashed the stones that fell on Xuan Mu.

Xuan Mu almost stopped breathing, and stuffed the last fragment of the stone carving into the groove, and then he caught a glimpse of a huge stone wrapped in flames flying from behind Shi Qi, hugged Shi Qi without hesitation, and threw him forward .

In an instant, the entire basement burned up, and the countdown was reset to zero, and the flames engulfed their bodies.
