Countdown: 1:01:02

Xu Zhaohe heard Xiaoying's unabashed confession.

"Zhao Zhao, I like you."

"I like it very much."

……

The arms around him were tight, Xu Zhaohe's face was still buried on his neck, and he replied, "Yes."

The hot breath from his breath hit it, making it sore and numb, and he said, "I like you too."

Xiaoying tilted her head and pressed her face against his soft short hair.

Although he knew that what he said didn't mean the same thing, but at least he was special in his heart.

One day, he will let this "like" completely belong to him from the inside out.

……

After hugging him for a while, Xu Zhaohe raised his hand and rubbed his head, then stood up.

The time for sensationalism is over, it's time to get down to business.

He looked up at the countdown timer hanging on the ceiling, and consumed too much time in the video, and until now, no one else has come out.

If this continues, the customs clearance rate will be too low. There should be some way to end all this from the outside.

His eyes slowly swept across the room again, and finally, Xu Zhaohe set his sights on the player.

The video was still rewinding continuously, and there was a crisp "swipe" sound inside.

The blond-haired doll was still staring at the TV, but the picture inside had changed from "A Day when Xu Zhaohe was 16" to eight other people.

Happiness and pain are different, and they are the most memorable moments for everyone.

Xu Zhaohe walked over, frowned, knelt down and stretched out his hand to study the old player, then looked at the TV, paused, and pressed a red button.

With a "snap", the non-stop rewinding of the picture stopped instantly, and then the video tape suddenly started to go backwards crazily.

In just a few minutes, the time returned to the time when they first entered the video, and everyone fell out and fell to the ground.

In fact, as long as one person comes out first, it will be over soon.

But the hard part about it is that there is no first person until now.

The blankness in his mind gradually dissipated. Tang An held his head in pain and groaned, then sat up slowly.

It was the same with most people at that time. They had just come out of the past time, and before they could react to the sudden change, they sat blankly, and tears began to flow slowly without knowing it.

Xu Zhaohe silently looked at the players who stared blankly, somewhat understanding their mood at the moment, and suddenly pulled away from a real memory, and it was too late to take back their feelings.

But the clearance time is endless, so it's not worth it to be so sad.

He looked down, and the blond doll, who had been watching with relish just now, suddenly disappeared.

Xu Zhaohe squeezed his pockets tightly, squatted down and said to Xiaoying, "Xiaoying, can you watch them for me?"

Xiaoying glanced back at a group of useless gamers, nodded perfunctorily, and then received Zhao Zhao's head-touch kill.

Taking a last look at the people who hadn't recovered their mobility, Xu Zhaohe walked out, but before he reached the door, he heard the voices of Guan Bin and Tang An: "Brother Xu, wait for me!"

The two shook their painful heads, stood up, their legs were weak and crooked for a moment, and they hurried to catch up before they had time to adjust.

At this time, it would be too useless for Brother Xu to find a way to clear the customs alone.

Xu Zhaohe waited for the two to stand in front of him before reaching out to open the door, and the three of them walked down the corridor slowly.

"Huh—Brother Xu, where are we going?"

The blue veins at the temples hopped and hopped because of the pain, Tang An stretched out his hands and rubbed them, heaving a sigh of relief, and asked.

"Go find Xiaochen."

Xu Zhaohe said that the dungeon has not been cleared until now, and the key lies in Xin and Xiaochen in his hands.

"Where will Xiaochen be?" Guan Bin looked back at him and asked.

"I think probably," Brother Zhao looked around, "in the basement."

Tang An: "How do you know?"

Brother Zhao: "Guess."

"........."

So, the three of them started walking towards the basement.

They had been there once before, but that time there were dolls leading the way, and the entrance to the basement was usually not visible.

But since the blond doll was found, bedrooms that had never been seen appeared. Xu Zhaohe guessed that the villa was already in the open period, and the basement should be accessible again.

Sure enough, after reaching the first floor, a door appeared at the top of the stairs that should have ended. They stepped forward to push it open, seeing darkness in front of them, and the stairs continued to wind down.

They came to the basement again, and the dim light turned on in an instant, slightly illuminating the dark space.

It was still a zigzag corridor, and there was the sound of panting like a wild animal eating in their ears. The three tensed their nerves and began to search the basement like a carpet.

As time passed, although one or two funny dolls popped up from the corner from time to time, threatening them with their long tongues, Xiaochen was never seen.

It wasn't until 30 minutes before the final clearance time limit that Xiaochen with black hair and black eyes suddenly appeared in front of them, holding a long machete in his hand, dragging it on the ground and walking towards them.

"Whoa, whoa-"

Just like the madman with the murder weapon that night, he walked extremely heavily step by step, and there seemed to be thick fog flowing in his eyes, or black magma.

Tang An and Guan Bin's hairs stood on end for a moment, and their vigilant eyes stared straight at him. At some point, they grasped their natal props in their hands, and their white knuckles kept exerting force.

Come, come, the last test of the dungeon ghost before clearing the level!

Just one step away!

Xu Zhaohe suddenly squatted down, with a look of unaware of the strong hatred coming from him, and said with a smile: "Xiaochen."

Xiaochen looked up at him, but there was no shadow in his eyes without a trace of white.

He tilted his head, raised his hand holding the machete, but hesitated when facing him, and did not swing it stiffly, as if he felt that the voice was familiar.

"Xiao Chen," Xu Zhaohe looked at him, and also raised his hand, holding a white letter inside, he said with a smile, "here, this belongs to you."

"?"

Xiao Chen tilted his head again suspiciously, and when Xu Zhaohe raised his hand again, indicating that he could look at it, he finally stretched out his hand covered in dust and red blood, and slowly took it.

He lowered his head and opened the letter with pure black eyes.

Unexpectedly, there were only a few short sentences in it, but the black air around Xiaochen's body suddenly dissipated, and his eyes gradually became clear, and his eyes were red in an instant, and then burst into tears.

This letter comes from a mother's last weak whisper, just a few sentences, but it carries a thousand words of tenderness and love:

Xiaochen, thank you for growing up bravely without me, because I was worried that my departure would bring too much harm to you, so I never told you, Xiaochen, in fact, my mother loves you very much, Always, always, love you very much.

Every little sun with a guardian white cloud is the most dazzling and warm little sun.

"what……"

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, the hand holding the letter was trembling constantly, he seemed to want to shout something, but the tears were faster than the words, and the bitter tears flowed into his mouth, blocking the endless sadness welling up in his throat.

Sorry, he didn't grow up, he didn't grow up.

He was forever stuck in the past, wandering and waiting.

"...Mom, mom, mom, mom..."

The broken voice finally squeezed out of the throat, as if a sharp cross had been nailed to the chest cavity, if it was pulled out rashly, an empty hole would be left, but if it stayed inside, there would be dull pain from time to time .

Like all cubs who lost their mothers, Xiaochen slowly fell to his knees, and pressed the letter tightly to the place where the cross was crucified, with wailing bursts from the corner of his mouth.

The machete was thrown on the ground randomly, and the ghost at this moment lost all its attack power.

Guan Bin and Tang An felt complicated, watching Xu Zhaohe in front of him gently caressing his head with his hand, comforting him silently.

What is the relationship between ghosts and humans?

"It's the enemy." This was the first word that came to their minds.

"But they can also be friends." This is what they see now.

……

"Little baby, go to sleep, I will accompany you in your dreams..."

It was the familiar song from that night again, which suddenly sounded.

However, this time, instead of being an illusory phantom in the retrospective timeline, it actually appeared in front of their eyes.

A dirty golden doll stopped in front of Xiaochen with small steps. It was stained with the helpless tears of a mother, and kept all the secrets about this family.

"Laugh with you and be tired with you, cuddling with me..."

Xiaochen raised his head, and the clear and clean tears left two white marks on his small gray face.

He stretched out his trembling hands, hugged the doll violently, and cried loudly on her little shoulders.

The letter in his hand was tightly held in the palm of his hand, a tear dripped accidentally, and a small cloud fainted quietly.

The doll smiled: "Little baby, go to sleep, how many times will you dream of me..."

"Dreams are the most beautiful with me, and they are comforting when you wake up from the dream."

Xu Zhaohe stood up, and the last image left in front of them was the back of a small person holding a doll and leaving, a strong and brave, no longer lonely back.

From then on, the endless waiting was finally over. They grabbed Xia Ye's tail, sat by the window, and listened to the crisp chirping of cicadas together.

……

【Ding!Clear the copy! 】

[SS level copy "Dear Doll" (crossed out)]

[Congratulations to player Xu Zhaohe for clearing the SSS level dungeon - "Dear Doll"! 】

[Point settlement...]

Xu Zhaohe heaved a sigh of relief after finally clearing the level. Although the time to clear this dungeon is not long, he has also flown back in the video for more than ten years, and the intensity is unexpectedly great.

【Ding!Points are settled.

Clear the SSS-level dungeon and get 20000 bonus points;

The first person to complete the task will be rewarded with 2000 points;

……

Get the favor of the dungeon ghosts, and get an extra bonus of 100005 points!

Players please make persistent efforts and work hard to pass the level! 】

Unsurprisingly, the high reward, Brother Zhao raised his eyebrows, and was about to wait for the copy to be sent, but suddenly felt something tug on his pants.

He lowered his head, and saw that the person pulling his pants was Xiaochen who had gone back for some reason, and Xiaochen was still holding a golden doll in his arms, and the two were looking up at him together.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Xiaochen grinned, stretched out his hand and beckoned him to squat down.

Although Xu Zhaohe was puzzled, he followed suit. Just as he squatted down, Xiaochen pounced on him and whispered in his ear, "Big brother, I have a secret to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Hee hee," Xiao Chen couldn't help but secretly smiled, and continued with his eyes bent, "What you see is what you miss the most."

"what?"

Xu Zhaohe frowned, and just as he was about to ask in detail, he saw Xiaochen flying away happily like a butterfly with the doll in his arms.

"........."

After going through all the details after entering the dungeon, Xu Zhaohe lowered his eyes and pondered, and finally chose a place that he was also puzzled about.

What Xiaochen said, could it be the memory of Bubble in the carousel room that night?

However, he no longer remembers, and he can't even tell whether the memory in it is his or not, or a false scene imagined by himself.

Just when he was once again agitated by that inexplicable voice, another childish and clear voice suddenly entered his ears: "Zhao Zhao."

Xu Zhaohe turned his head, his eyes lit up for a moment, "Xiaoying, let's go."

As he said that, he naturally stepped forward to hold his hand. Speaking of which, he stayed for a long time after clearing the level this time. Guan Bin Tangan on the side had already gone out, and he was the only one left in the basement at this time. Xiao Ying.

Standing in front of Xiaoying, Xu Zhaohe knelt down and took his hand, keeping his eyes on him all the time, so he naturally noticed something wrong with his face.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoying pursed the corners of her mouth and frowned, Baozi's little face looked soft.

"Zhao Zhao," he lowered his head, covered his face full of reluctance, and said bitterly, "I can't go back with you this time."

"........."

The smile on the corner of his mouth sank in an instant, Xu Zhaohe blinked, and his fingers couldn't help tightening, "Why?"

"Hey," Xiaoying sighed, and stretched out his other little hand to cover his hand, "I don't want to, but there is something wrong with the game world, and I will open the dungeon in the future."

"!!!"

Xu Zhaohe's eyes widened for a moment, feeling uneasy, and he said loudly, "Is there no one left in the spicy chicken copy? You are still so young, this is child labor!"

System: "..." It has been blamed again, life is difficult :)

However, who knows, Shen Lucifer and Xiaochen did not deny it after hearing it, instead of explaining it for it, they shamelessly left a misunderstood expression on the face of crying, and threw themselves into Xu Zhaohe's arms with all their strength. hugged him.

"Zhao Zhao, wait for me, we will meet again soon."

Xu Zhaohe felt uncomfortable, put his hand on the top of his head, and rubbed it gently.

Although he knew that there might be such a day, Xiaoying's sudden departure hit him far harder than he imagined.

It was as if a piece was suddenly missing in my heart, and a chilly wind poured in.

I am used to the life of two people, and I can't imagine the scene of returning to one person.

"Little..."

He couldn't help whispering, "Mmm" in a small voice, and finally remembered and added: "Remember to eat well, I've got someone to supervise you."

Xu Zhaohe: "???"

Before he could ask who to look for, the time the dungeon could procrastinate had already reached the end on crutches, his eyes suddenly blurred, and finally Xiaoying's face turned into countless colorful lights and shadows, and then disappeared.

【Ding!Random item generation...]
