On killing the protagonist

The tragedy of Gao Lei's death shocked everyone, Lu Yanping couldn't help taking a few steps back, and screamed: "Ah..."

The moment the words came out, Liu Yingxue beside her quickly covered her mouth with her eyes and hands, but it was too late.

The hamster in the cave instantly became agitated, and squeaked and ran towards them.

Everyone present was a little timid, and no one had forgotten that not long ago, it was because of these hamsters that they separated, which resulted in the loss of the lives of two companions, Ye Hanjiang and Gu Qinuo were seriously injured, and even the bones of one of the victims still lying before their eyes.

Zhang Li was the first to react. He unscrewed the igniter he found in the store, threw it into the pile of hamsters with his hands, and quickly threw a few glass bottles of unknown liquid to the place where the igniter fell. The liquid touched the flames. In an instant, there was only a bang, and the flames several feet high instantly swept across the narrow space.

But there are only a few hamsters who are afraid of the fire, and more hamsters are still trying to break through the flames.

Ye Hanjiang threw the shotguns and guns he picked up from Yang Buyan to Ye Qiu, and reminded him, "Third brother, use that bottle."

Seeing this, Ye Qiu couldn't help shouting and cursing: "Grandson, grandpa has some good things here, come and taste them all!"

As he spoke, he took out a glass bottle from his pocket, aimed at the place with the most hamsters and threw it there, then raised his hand to pull the trigger, and the bullet hit the glass bottle accurately.

With a loud "bang", the liquid scattered in the air along with the glass shards, and a stench filled the entire cave in an instant.

The hamsters that were rampant before smelled the stench, and suddenly became bewildered, as if they were facing an enemy, and they all turned around and fled.

Ye Qiu didn't care about wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, and sat down on the ground, muttering, "His grandma's, this little bottle really works."

Everyone who survived the catastrophe breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Qiu just got up from the ground when he heard an exclamation from behind.

A black shadow quickly passed over his head, Ye Qiu turned his head sharply, and saw Ye Hanjiang falling straight forward.

At the critical moment, Gu Qinuo rushed forward with a stride, using his body as a pad to prevent him from falling with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Seeing Ye Hanjiang frowning tightly, sweating on his forehead, and yelling about having a headache, Ye Qiu and the three of them looked at each other and immediately knew the reason.

The hour hand quietly pointed to eight o'clock, and at this moment, the group of hamsters receded like a tide.

The fourth day came, and the number of survivors was seven.

Ye Qiu and the others didn't care to collect Gao Lei's body, they lifted Ye Hanjiang and ran to the apartment.

Half an hour later, Ye Hanjiang woke up. When he saw the person guarding the bed, he shook his dazed head and asked in doubt, "Arnuo?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Qinuo's eyes: "You remember?"

Ye Hanjiang rubbed his sore forehead: "That's right!"

A glass of water was handed to him, Ye Hanjiang thanked him, took a sip from the glass, and then said something that surprised Gu Qinuo.

"This is my second foray into the world of punishment."

Gu Qinuo's eyes flashed, and he said: "No wonder you are so familiar with this place, then have you fully recovered your memory?"

Ye Hanjiang shook his head: "I only remember the memory before leaving the punishment world for the first time, and I don't remember anything after that. In addition, the memory with the main god has also been sealed."

Gu Qinuo changed his mind when he heard the words: "So, we knew each other before your first punishment?"

Ye Hanjiang looked at him in surprise: "Don't you know? The world where I met you is the second world of punishment I experienced!"

As he spoke, he explained: "At that time, I failed in the first mission of punishing the world, and the Lord God threw me into the second world. It was that experience that made me realize that the Lord God was playing tricks and deliberately asked us to protect The World Pillar, in fact, as long as the World Pillar is successfully out of danger, the Lord God will seal part of our abilities and memories on the World Pillar."

Gu Qinuo was slightly startled, then smiled wryly and shook his head: "It wasn't long before I entered the system, and I didn't even figure out how to do the tasks. world."

He recalled: "Then I met you, and you know what happened next. You found the law of room changes within an hour, and how to move forward is the safest way. It only took half a day to lead all People successfully escaped from the killing phalanx."

Speaking of which, Gu Qinuo laughed at himself: "That is the easiest task I have completed since I entered the system. How can it be linked with the world of punishment?"

Ye Hanjiang blushed: "Sorry, I was in a hurry to verify my thoughts, so I cleared the level faster."

But Gu Qinuo shook his head and said: "No, if you hadn't cracked the mechanism so quickly, maybe I would have died there long ago."

"By the way." Ye Hanjiang suddenly remembered something: "I forgot to ask you before, why did I appear in the punishment world for the second time?"

Gu Qinuo frowned: "I don't know either, it should be two years after we met, you suddenly came to me with a watch and said that you had an idea that needs to be verified, if one day the time on the watch stops , let me find a way to fail in the next mission, enter the world of punishment to wait for you, and said something about the pillars of the world, which is what I told you before."

As he said that, he took out a watch from his backpack and handed it to Ye Hanjiang, "It didn't take long for me to hear from the other members of the ninth group that you went to the Lord God, but no one knows the specific reason, about half a year later, I found that the time on this watch stopped suddenly, so I managed to sneak into the world of punishment. According to what you told me, if there are two pillars of the world, kill one and keep the other; off."

Ye Hanjiang took the watch and found that it was the same as the one in his hand, except that the hands of the watch in his hand were white, while the hands of the watch that Gu Qinuo handed him were black.

He put the two watches together, and suddenly found that the combination of a certain scale was a complete sentence - linked clock.

He pressed the prohibit button on his watch, and sure enough, the moment the white watch stopped, the black watch that Gu Qinuo handed him made a click, and started to move along with the hands.

Ye Hanjiang thought to himself: It seems that Gu Qinuo didn't lie to himself, he was really called in by himself, but why did he do this?What do you want to verify?Also, what happened after going to see the Lord God?Will he let himself enter the world of punishment again?

He buried these questions in his heart, and then asked, "Where is my third brother?"

"He and Zhang Li went to the town to look for urea, saying that they wanted to make more bombs, so as not to run out of supplies in this situation again."

Ye Hanjiang nodded to indicate that he knew, then he remembered the hour hand pointing to eight o'clock in the morning, and had a bad guess in his mind, so he immediately asked Gu Qinuo to inform the others, take the time to rest in the morning, and gather under the big tree at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Although Gu Qinuo didn't understand the intention of his order, he still nodded in response.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered under the big tree. Ye Hanjiang had already been waiting there. He looked up at the yellow moon in the sky with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Why did you suddenly change to gather here?" Ye Qiu asked suspiciously.

Ye Hanjiang said without any fluctuation, "It's more convenient here."

Ye Qiu murmured to himself, "There's no tea, and no tables, chairs and benches. What kind of convenience is this?" '

"What are you looking for us for?" Liu Yingxue stopped when she was about ten steps away from the big tree, and asked Ye Hanjiang with a vigilant expression.

Seeing that everyone was here, Ye Hanjiang pressed his left arm lightly, suppressing the faint pain, and said, "I called everyone here because I have something to discuss with you."

Everyone looked at him intently, waiting for his next words.

Ye Hanjiang looked around at the three members of the archaeological team, and said: "I hope that from tonight, everyone will gather in one house for accommodation. Of course, I know you can't trust me, but at this juncture, unite all the forces that can be united." , is what a wise man should do.”

Liu Yingxue looked at him and smiled disdainfully: "If it's a friend or ally, it's right to do so, but if it's an enemy, it's hard to say."

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes: "It's really a dog who bit Lu Dongbin and doesn't know good people. My Xiaojiu wants to help you. Some people just don't appreciate it, but they still put shit on us."

Liu Yingxue was not moved at all, and said with a firm expression, "If what you want to talk about is this matter, then we have nothing to talk about, professor, let's go."

The negotiation broke down, and the three members of the archaeological team turned and left here with the same hatred.

Ye Hanjiang looked at the backs of them leaving without any disturbance in his heart. After recovering part of his memory, he was no longer so eager for the task of saving the pillar of the world. Rather than resurrecting Ye Qiu, he wanted to find out what made him Made a move that was diametrically opposed to the original intention?

He looked at the remaining three people and said, "Let's ignore the three members of the archaeological team. I'll tell everyone about what I found."

"This morning, I noticed that the time when the red moon disappeared was still eight o'clock in the morning."

Ye Qiu was puzzled and said, "What's so strange about this? Didn't this point disappear a few days ago?"

Ye Hanjiang shook his head and said: "That's true, but you forgot one premise, that is, the time when the red moon appeared yesterday was early at midnight."

Only then did Ye Qiu and Zhang Li realize this, and then frowned: This also means that the red moon has a total of eight hours from its appearance to its disappearance, and the added time is exactly the time of the disappearing Ziyue.

Ye Qiu stroked his chin and guessed, "It can't be such a coincidence, right? So, the disappearing moon is related to the number of people who died?"

Zhang Li also guessed: "For every two people who die, will a moon disappear?"

Gu Qinuo shook his head: "No, the number of people is not right."

Ye Hanjiang tapped his knee with his right index finger: "Arnold is right, whether it is six moons or seven moons, it does not match the number of us, and the sample is too small to make a reasonable guess."

Seeing his pensive look, everyone immediately looked at each other tacitly. Ye Qiu asked tentatively, "Xiao Jiu, have you discovered anything?"

Ye Hanjiang nodded: "Indeed."

"What guess?"

Ye Hanjiang looked at the full moon in the sky, and said thoughtfully: "I was wondering, is there a choice in who dies?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison: "I don't understand."

He sighed: "I'm not sure yet, but if someone dies tonight, and the person who dies happens to be the same as I guessed, then it can basically be concluded."

The three looked at each other and asked in unison, "Who?"

With deep eyes, Ye Hanjiang slowly said a name: "Professor Lin!"
