I'm a heartthrob in escape games

The White Pagoda was heavily surrounded, like an isolated island floating on the sea.

Those walls seem to have been deliberately dirty, forcibly distorted from day to night.

Qiao Yizhou stood in countless black mist, surrounded by many resentments.He raised his fist expressionlessly, and punched the opponent's body.

The dust and sand suddenly rose, causing his body to fly far away, and a big hole was broken in the solid white tower.

This is a unilateral crush without any suspense.

The fist didn't just hurt the body, the severe pain went straight to the root, which made him dare not underestimate Qiao Yizhou, the S-level boss who came out of the limited-time game dungeon.

How can I get his black core?

His eyes were full of greed, driven by the instinct of a ghost, even under such circumstances, he still did not forget to plot.

Qiao Yizhou walked up to him slowly and grabbed his collar.

Just when 'He Wenxuan' thought he would drop his fist again, tears fell down: "He Wenxuan, do you really want to give up on yourself?"

There was a sharp pain somewhere in his soul, which made his whole body tremble.

Is it from the instinct of the body?

He frowned and pressed down forcefully.This body was the best he had ever taken, how could he let it go so easily?

Qiao Yizhou: "He Wenxuan, wake up!"

Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing.

"If it wasn't for self-destruction, how could I occupy a strong man who has unlocked the third-level evolutionary lock?"

Such shouting is impossible to be useful at all.

Qiao Yizhou's heart sank to the bottom, and he understood that this struggle was nothing but self-deception.

The strength of the two confronted each other, and the building inside was unable to withstand it, causing countless tiny cracks.There were pieces falling and the whole building was crumbling.

The things outside that followed Qiao Yizhou all the way also took the opportunity to squeeze in through the gap, and countless black mist surrounded Qiao Yizhou.

Since words cannot convey, use force.

The two confronted each other completely, and there was no longer any mercy.

With the next punch, the White Tower has broken a big hole, and the body of 'He Wenxuan' has been thrown flying.

The fighting outside stopped abruptly, and when Lin Ge looked over there, Qiao Yizhou had already gained the upper hand.It's just that the opponent still wants to cheat, and the arm that was strangled has been rebuilt from resentment.

All the arms were dyed black, like sharp claws, not like a human being at all.

This was He Wenxuan's knot in his heart. Even though he possessed great power, he hated his monster-like body after unlocking the evolution lock.

When the sharp claw was about to hurt Qiao Yizhou, Lin Ge finally couldn't help shouting: "He Wenxuan! That's Zhou Zhou!"

The claw strike was a step too slow, and was kicked away by Qiao Yizhou with a horizontal kick.

His body was knocked back a few meters, he wiped the blood from the corner of his lower lip, and glanced over coldly——

What an eyesore.

"So what?" He still wanted to confuse and make trouble, "Don't you sympathize with the weak most? I have been beaten so badly by Qiao Yizhou, but he still doesn't want to stop. Lin Ge... I need you ..."

Lin Ge was trembling all over, and his eyes were already red.If he had seen Qiao Yizhou unilaterally crushing him before, he might really have felt that he was too ruthless and disregarded his teammates.

But now...after knowing Qiao Yizhou's identity and Chu Liao's actions, he no longer thinks so.

He... They have been driven to the end of the road.

Lin Ge: "Keep your eyes open and take a good look, who is suffering?"

Hearing this sentence, 'He Wenxuan' couldn't help laughing: "Are you trying to talk about him?"

Lin Ge pointed at Qiao Yizhou, almost growling: "He came all the way, how is he not in a mess? How is he not in a mess?"

Lin Ge knelt down, almost crying: "Just tm, to save you..."

In this case, perhaps only wood pigeons who were well protected by their teammates would speak out among the people present.

There was Jiang Shi in the front and Qiao Yizhou in the back, both protecting him, making him not like a player who has experienced the game.

They have experienced too much, their emotional perception has long been numb, and their understanding of pain has never been so deep.Even Qiao Yizhou and Chu Liao themselves would not express it like this.

Precisely because it is full of pain, the indomitable progress is commendable.

Yu Xi quietly looked at Qiao Yizhou, only to feel that his side face was completely hidden under the darkness.

He took a step forward and said as he walked: "I know what you mind, I am also a monster, and we have not been able to get what we want most. You are afraid, why am I not?"

Qiao Yizhou stretched out his hand towards him, his eyes softened: "I don't look like a person, so I can live like a person, wouldn't it be fine?"

He Wenxuan's body was shaking constantly, and he twitched on the ground in pain.

It was as if the hand stretched out to him was like a sharp sword, piercing those fears and unease.

What's ridiculous is that Qiao Yizhou is the frightening aggregate, but he pierces the fear of others.

Countless grievances flew out of his body, and when he was about to flee, he was stopped by Qiao Yizhou and swallowed it up like he was eating.

But He Wenxuan became even more unstable: "Oh!!"

Everyone wanted to check his condition, but Chu Liao stopped him: "Don't go, he is degenerating."

Yu Xi gasped, "Degenerate?"

Chu Liao's expression was exceptionally calm: "I've degenerated too, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Looking at this scene, Yu Xi felt mixed emotions, extremely complicated.

Chu Liao's posture seems to be mocking those who pursue power and do everything they can.

- She is one of them.

The heart felt like it was being put on a grill, scorching and aching.

In her mind, for some reason, a sentence that has been circulating in area c emerged.

——After entering the game, if you want to survive, the first thing you give up is your humanity, but if you want to live longer, you need to regain your humanity.

I didn't understand it before, but now it is unforgettable.

There were ghosts and ghosts surrounding them all the time, they didn't dare to surround them all here, but just expanded a circle for them, leaving a few of them alone.

There is fighting outside, but it is very calm inside.

Qiao Yizhou looked at Lin Ge: "Aren't you going to score points?"

As long as you can reach the top five, you have a chance to go out.

Lin Ge shook his head: "No, I don't want to go out yet."

He saw Jiang Shi among the group of ghosts, but he just glanced at each other from a distance, but he couldn't speak to him yet.

There are still many things he hasn't figured out, just like flowers growing in a greenhouse, he has to see and go by himself.

The three of them quietly accompanied He Wenxuan in this way, until a huge opening was torn in the sky, the space outside and inside was distorted, and there was even a projection of reality.

The bustling streets and crowds are so familiar and yearning.

Chu Liao raised his head, his pupils were pitch black.The main system feeds off of players killing each other to replenish itself.Naturally, he can also use this power to tear apart the space in the main area.

The rules he tampered with back then were based on this principle.

He Wenxuan's condition had stabilized, and he slowly opened his eyes, but his whole body was completely wet with sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.

He looked at Qiao Yizhou, opened his mouth, and shouted, "Old..."

Qiao Yizhou knocked on his head: "What's so old!"

He Wenxuan was fully conscious, and found himself in the middle of the crowd, and immediately opened his teeth and claws: "Why are you all around me... Fuck, Lin Ge, you are still crying? Hold back the tears for me, I hate this kind of nasty thing the most .”

Qiao Yizhou chuckled twice, and raised his eyes to the uppermost sky.

The crack has already spread down and is about to reach the height of the White Tower. I believe that it will reach the ground completely in the near future.

The strong wind rolled up, blowing people's hair messy.

Chu Liao's hand quietly attached to the top of Qiao Yizhou's head, and this moment finally came.

He told a big lie, and there is no so-called top five points to get out of the main zone.The purpose of doing this is to lure players to kill ghosts, so as to obtain the power that can tear space.

His strength has degenerated, and he is powerless to change anything.

This was the only way he could do to get Qiao Yizhou out safely.

S-level boss, no one can tolerate his existence.

Perhaps such 'protection' can be called selfish.

Qiao Yizhou didn't know it, and smiled on his face: "Great, I finally have the chance to leave!"

Chu Liao: "...um."

Qiao Yizhou: "You said, if we all had the chance to go out, would we be in the same place?"

Chu Liao squeezed his hands white in pain: "... yes."

The crack grew bigger and bigger, until at last it was just around the corner.

Ten meters...nine meters...soon to touch the ground.

The ghosts naturally refused to let them go, and they gathered together to block the front.Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but despair: "What should we do? We can't break through!"

Qiao Yizhou walked to the front, controlling the evil spirits that came out of the voodoo place, and started fighting with them.

Several clusters of black air collided with each other in the sky and shattered into black ash like white snow.

The black ash stained the skin, making it extremely piercing.

Qiao Yizhou's head was covered with cold sweat, and the violence in his instincts could hardly be concealed.If he continued to abuse his power like this, he might not be able to control himself again.

After all, a ghost is a ghost.

Qiao Yizhou clenched his teeth so hard that his lips were bleeding.

Chu Liao who was beside him suddenly took his hand and whispered something in his ear quickly.

Qiao Yizhou woke up suddenly, and stopped biting himself.When I looked over there suddenly, I saw the black air colliding with each other in the sky, like exploding fireworks.

Chu Liao stood there, the black lines on his cheeks were stained with black ash, and he wriggled as if alive.

Qiao Yizhou: "How could it be...it's already..." It has been reduced so much.

Chu Liao pushed him forward forcefully, causing the unsuspecting Qiao Yizhou to take a big step backward.The torn gap behind him seemed to have a huge gravitational force, and it sucked the first 'object' close to it.

Chu Liao: "Zhouzhou, you probably won't see me. I forgot to tell you that after you go out, you will return to the moment you entered the main area. Even if I can go out, there is... a seven-year gap between us. "

Qiao Yizhou opened his mouth wide: "Chu Liao!"

He had too many words to say, and Chu Liao clearly said... he would never face danger alone like this again.

His life should not be a cheap bet.

Chu Liao: "I'm sorry, everyone can't tolerate you. This is the only way I can think of to protect you."

His voice was finally drowned under the ruins of the collapsed White Tower.

—

Qiao Yizhou returned to the abandoned warehouse, was rescued and sent to the hospital.

Along the way, he kept calling Chu Liao's name in a blurred state.Qiao Yizhou didn't wake up until the mother of this body arrived.

He looked around in a daze, and had the illusion that he was still in the game.

Sometimes I will be in a trance, and I will always hide the fruit knife quietly at night, and I dare not close my eyes at all, for fear of being cut my throat in my sleep.

When Mother Qiao saw him like this, she thought her son was crazy.

She couldn't help crying bitterly, thinking that her remarriage had caused this.

"Zhouzhou, mom knows you've been frightened, and no one will harm you here."

Qiao Yizhou: "...Where's Fang Yan?"

Mother Qiao: "What Fang Yan?"

Qiao Yizhou: "He is my brother! He is the child of your remarried husband!"

Qiao's mother was even more devastated: "There is no Fang Yan at all, the child in that family...you are the only one."

After learning this information, Qiao Yizhou was completely scared.

His memory has not been fully restored, and he can no longer remember who his parents were in the past.Only those companions, he remembered extremely deeply.

But now everyone told him that he had imagined it himself, and there was no such person at all.

Although he escaped from that terrifying place, everything around him was full of horror, like a strange species, lingering in the gap of time.

By the way... Chu Liao.

On the day Qiao Yizhou was taken home by Qiao's mother, he stumbled and fled here before entering the house.

19-year-old Chu Liaoyuan was seven years ago.

If he came out, he should be 26 now!

The memory became more and more vague, Qiao Yizhou didn't even know if Chu Liao was in this city.He found dusk from daytime, and night from dusk until he stood alone in the cold wind and returned home in a daze.

He couldn't imagine what happened to Chu Liao.

Everyone can't tolerate him, but Chu Liao wants to use his own strength to protect him under his wings.

Isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?

Qiao Yizhou stood at the door of the house, and the lights were still on inside.Mother Qiao found the figure, and immediately ran out of the house, hugging his body tightly: "Zhouzhou, don't make mom worry so much, I won't be able to find you this day."

Warm tears wet his shoulders, and only then did Qiao Yizhou feel the truth.

The tip of the nose was sore, and tears fell suddenly.

Will Chu Liao come back?

"Woooo..." The suppressed emotions were released at that moment. He rarely cried like this, as if the world was dark.

Chu Liao will definitely come back.

Even as he said, he will go back to the age when he entered the main zone, his 19 years old.

That's a gap of seven years.

—

A few months later, winter came.

Finally arrived at the door of the house, the moment Qiao Yizhou opened the door, he saw Fang Yan sitting quietly in the living room.He looked bruised, his white shirt was disheveled, and his hair was slightly long over his eyes.

Qiao Yizhou shouted in a daze, "Fang... Yan?"

Fang Yan finally had a reaction, and slowly raised his eyes to look back at him: "You're not called brother anymore?"

Qiao Yizhou's throat choked up, thinking that he could finally live like a normal person.It turns out that even in the past few months, those things are still engraved in my mind and never forgotten.

Qiao Yizhou walked to his side in two or three steps, and hugged him tightly: "Just come back."

Mother Qiao came out with the dishes, and was stunned for a long time when she saw this scene: "What are you doing?"

She still remembered that Fang Yan always looked down on Zhou Zhou when the two brothers did not get along.

She always felt that after a period of time, she would become a family, so she didn't get too involved.But Qiao Yizhou's appearance a year ago frightened her, so she was worried about everything.

Mother Qiao said in a panic, "If there is any conflict, sit down and talk, and stop fighting."

Fang Yan: "We won't quarrel anymore."

Mother Qiao asked suspiciously: "...Really?"

Qiao Yizhou smiled: "Really."

The traces of the former companions that were erased were finally rediscovered.

After that, they had a peaceful dinner.Such a warm scene can never be imagined in the main area.

As the night was getting dark, Qiao Yizhou came to Fang Yan's door, holding a cup of hot milk: "How did you make yourself like this? How long ago did you leave the main space?"

Fang Yan felt a pain in his head, and put his hands on his forehead: "It seems that no matter how long you come back, you will always return to the time when you entered the space in the main area."

Fang Yan's words shattered Qiao Yizhou's hopes.

He clenched his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Then... where is Chu Liao?"

Qiao Yizhou was so frightened that he even lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

What if Fang Yan said that Chu Liao was still in the main area?

Unexpectedly, after listening to his words, Fang Yan stood up at some point and hugged him in his arms: "We don't know if Chu Liao has come out, sorry."

He had already heard what Qiao Yizhou had experienced from his companion, and wondered if he could give him the strength to support him.

Just do nothing and he will hate himself.

Qiao Yizhou was stiff all over, and the hope that had been ignited was once again extinguished.

Even if his heart is numb, he can still feel Qiao Yizhou's pain at this moment.

Fang Yan quietly narrated that his experience in the main area for half a year may only be described in two words: tragic.

The main area has been completely reduced to a large game, with all kinds of ghosts appearing frequently.Even after some players die, they will become new ghosts.

The remaining players had no choice but to break the shackles of the five major districts. The doors of the main district were completely gone, and they began to form camps with each other to fight back.

The trace of Chu Liao also disappeared during this time.

Some of the former companions have already come out, but they have not yet met in time.

Some... are still trapped in the main space.

Only then did Qiao Yizhou finally understand why Professor Fu used Chu Liao to enter the game.I'm afraid Professor Fu is one of the players who came out of the game, but because his companion is still in the main area...

"Chu Liao paid an unimaginable price when the rules were revised."

Fang Yan let go of Qiao Yizhou, and said solemnly, "Someone said...he went to the Undead Casino again."

Qiao Yizhou returned to the room, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

He tightly held on to the dark dawn that was about to completely shatter, and curled himself into a ball.

Outside the dark window, the first snow of winter is coming.

He still vaguely remembered that Chu Liao also used almost zero broken words to ask that sentence on such a cold day——

Qiao Yizhou, would you like to be my root?

"Chu Liao..."

The words that seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of the throat were also completely broken.

Qiao Yizhou was extremely cold, and the cold air from the dark crept up from all around, lingered around him, and froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A ghost is a ghost, and its instinct is violent, dark, and dirty.

He never denied these things, but he really lost the most important thing.

death.

Such a profound death, as if the world was silent, it turned out that after Chu Liao left him, the feeling would be so strong.

Qiao Yizhou had a nightmare all night, as if he had dreamed of the most painful thing, and when he woke up, the feelings that had accumulated to the peak broke out again.

Seeing his appearance, Fang Yan's pupils were faintly reddish, and he secretly cried out that something was wrong.

Fang Yan chased him out, but found that he had lost Qiao Yizhou.

He is no longer the strong man who opened the evolution lock in the main area, but has completely become an ordinary person.

But Qiao Yizhou was different. He was the boss in the first place, even if he left the main area, he only lost a small part of his abilities.

Fang Yan punched the wall: "Damn it!"

After returning from the main area, he has been thinking about his own affairs, and never thought carefully about how Qiao Yizhou spent the past few months in the real world.

When he was in the main area, he could hardly restrain himself.Back in the real world, how could it be normal suddenly?

Every night, is he in pain?

From the dark part of the corridor, a person suddenly came out: "I should know where he went, I will take you there."

Only then did Fang Yan see that person clearly: "You left the main area too?"

—

Winter snow covered the streets thinly, and hoarfrost hung on the dead branches.

Qiao Yizhou was in a trance, not knowing how long he could last.

Regret poured out of his heart, why can't he remember anything, he can only peep a little bit from Chu Liao's memory?

Tears were about to blur his vision. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a school came into view.

Is it... the place he saw in Chu Liao's memory fragments in the limited-time game copy?

Qiao Yizhou's legs were so heavy that he couldn't take a step.

An umbrella suddenly hit his head: "It's almost wet, how long do you want to stand?"

He was only wearing a thin layer of clothing, and he was already numb from the cold.

After hearing that voice, Qiao Yizhou suddenly turned around: "Chu Liao..."

Even if life and death are separated, they will meet again.

The distance between two spaces is just a mere distance, so is it still farther than the original death?

—

Fang Yan and Feng Yuchen stood in the dark, watching this scene, Feng Yuchen snorted and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

During those six months, they all deeply understood who Chu Liao was.

His feelings are thin, and he is only motivated by profit. Even if his strength degenerates, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is more like a person.What's more... There are rumors later that he is still in charge of part of the authority of the main system, and is further eroding it.

Such a monster cannot be called a human being at all.

They have all seen the display of the specific data of the main area once, which is a huge and scary thing that is born with the player's life as the cornerstone and resentment as the catalyst.

And Chu Liao accepted those, how could he still be a person?

Fang Yan looked over there deeply: "If you simply call that guy's feelings desire and possession, it would be too superficial."

Feng Yuchen: "What could that be? Do you still want to tell me that's love?"

"No, far above that."
