I paused, "I thought you would say 'how dare she walk in the front alone'."

Ji Xiao laughed, "No."

There were eleven players in total. Because Ding Shan insisted on moving forward, the female players followed subconsciously in a group, showing a distinct formation of women in front and men in back.

The male players are also divided into three groups.Two newcomers, two veterans, plus me and Ji Xiao.

Before I knew it, Ji Xiao and I were at the end.

In the dark surroundings, the light from kerosene lamps cannot actually travel very far.The position where the two of us are is already the intersection point of halo and darkness.

However, Ji Xiao was not worried, and continued to analyze: "Ten people, 'can eat ten meals of black bread'-go down, there is a high probability that you will find running water. From this point of view, the time left for players in this game should be It's about three days. After that, the physical strength really can't keep up."

Although he generally agreed with the idea that "we won't stay in the 'game' for too long", he still couldn't bear to teach me.

I heard, objectively: "Three days? This must be based on the fact that the person who draws the black bread is willing to share it with other players. Besides, including you, there are now eleven people."

Ji Xiao: "Since Mr. Jiang can tell about the bread, he will definitely share it with others." He seemed very optimistic, "For me, um, maybe I can share your meal?"

I was speechless, and felt that his mentality was too good.

Ji Xiao added: "Even if you can't, just drink more water."

I thought to myself: It may take less than three days for someone to die.

"Hey," Ji Xiao reminded me, "I can hear you."

I looked at him and told him: "I know, but you can't deny it."

Ji Xiao blinked, "That's right."

We gradually quieted down, and there were other voices in front of us.

Wang Luyao supported Bai Wei, and asked for advice by the way: "Actually, I still don't quite understand, what kind of 'game' is this? What is 'evil god'?"

Bai Wei said softly, "'Cthulhu' should be the existence we have to face in this round."

Wang Luyao: "Hiss, that sounds scary."

Bai Wei paused, "That's right. I'm not very clear about 'game'."

Beside the two, the middle-aged woman was talking to the ponytail girl again, as if closing her mouth for a moment could kill her: "My daughter is about your age."

The ponytail girl replied: "Auntie, don't panic."

The middle-aged woman sighed, "Oh, your parents know, how worried you should be!"

The ponytail girl paused for a moment and didn't speak again.

A little later, among the two male newcomers, Chen Xiaowei pushed Zhang Xin, saying, "You really believe their way? Let me tell you, let's—"

Before Zhang Xin said anything, Teacher Jiang coughed first.

Chen Xiaowei's shoulders trembled, and he temporarily closed his mouth.

Teacher Jiang turned his head again and asked Pei Hao beside him: "Mr. Pei, you said earlier that this is your No.20 game?"

"That's right," Pei Hao said, "It's also due to luck that we can live until now."

Teacher Jiang sighed: "Luck. Luck is also very important."

In such a dark cave, the continuous human voice seemed to be a way of emboldening one's courage.

Even Ding Shan gradually joined the topic of Bai Wei and Wang Luyao, and reminded Wang Luyao to watch the road carefully.

Bai Wei was very grateful to Ding Shan and Wang Luyao, and mentioned: "During my last round of games..."

Their voices are not loud, but the surroundings are so quiet that they can always be heard.

I wasn't interested in these conversations, so I brought it up to Ji Xiao again: "You said before, how often does this sacrifice happen?"

Ji Xiao was distracted by the topic of bread before, but now he remembered again: "Yes. After three days, we can't just walk here. Since 'Cthulhu' appears in the game description, it must have a meaning. About' The clues to the way of life' are likely to appear in the ruins of the sacrificial offerings ahead."

He had a clear mind and told me categorically: "...it's still at the beginning of the game, and it is impossible to have a 'must die' situation. Generally speaking, only if every choice in the early stage is wrong will lead to the end of death."

I said, "Choose?"

Ji Xiao gave a soft "huh" and said, "The simplest. If we had chosen to stay at the entrance, or even return to the direction of entry, it would be a 'wrong choice'."

I said, "You think the same as Ding Shan."

Ji Xiao earnestly corrected: "It's not 'the same idea', it's like a math problem on a test paper, the standard answer is very clear. You'll understand after you've experienced a lot."

I don't answer.Ji Xiao thought about it, but sighed first, and said, "However, you should not go through too much."

It seemed to be worrying again.

We walked all the way, stepping on shoes made of grass.Frankly, not very comfortable.

When the footsteps land on the stone ground, there will be a slight movement.

When we were walking, Ji Xiao and I's arms occasionally rubbed against each other.The white robe is very smooth, almost without any extra noise.After rubbing like this a few times, I suddenly reached out, grabbed Ji Xiao's hand, and held it in the palm of my hand.

Ji Xiao looked sideways at me.

The light was dim, and I could see the shadow on his cheek and the jagged rock wall beside him.

When viewed from the outside, the mountain is already considered tall.Now that I am in it, I feel that the cave is deep and difficult to explore.

The voices of others gradually became softer.It's like being in a noisy classroom, there will always be a moment when everyone is quiet together.

Ding Shan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

She still carried the kerosene lamp.I looked at her back and heard Wang Luyao and others asking her, "Sister Ding, what's wrong?"

As soon as Wang Luyao's voice came out, Bai Wei pinched her arm.

Wang Luyao was shocked.

Ding Shan looked restrained and tense.After a brief pause, her voice was slightly higher than before, and she said, "Go on."

At the same time, Ji Xiao's thoughts fell into my mind, "There is something."

Under this "trunk", there are many more complicated thoughts.

It was a mess, and I caught some fragments, which were: "The person who walks last is the most likely to have an accident, but the two of us have been side by side, which actually reduces the danger."

"What will it be?"

"In this way, the most 'alone' is..."

"That ponytail girl? Ding Shan? Since her kerosene lamp is a 'prop', it might not be affected by the appearance of ghosts. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

These thoughts are numerous, but it only takes a moment to flash through Ji Xiao's mind.

In addition to this, I also heard a lot of "floor noise".

"Protect him protect him protect him—"

"Don't let him have an accident."

"Get him back safely."

"I got him involved..."

"Protect him before he starts hating me."

I finally couldn't help it, and squeezed Ji Xiao's hand.

Ji Xiao looked sideways at me.I saw his tight lips, the sharp and beautiful line of his jaw.And under the dim kerosene lamp, there are cat-like eyes showing many vigilance and fierceness.

When seeing me, Ji Xiao's eyes melted, as if he wanted to smile at me.

At this moment, I clearly saw the black figure passing from behind him.

Although Ji Xiao didn't turn his head back, he was extremely keen, as if he had noticed the flash of coolness behind him.He told me: "Shao Zuo! Calm down, remember when we were on the boat? Don't let 'it' find out that we found 'it'—"

This is a very convoluted sentence, but I can understand it.

That which covets us in the dark will do nothing to us as long as we behave normally.

But I can be calm, and veteran players can be calm, but it doesn't mean that newcomers can also.

The speed of the team moving forward is changing, getting faster and faster.Ji Xiao held my hand tightly, and slowly, we were going to stand side by side with Teacher Jiang and Pei Hao.The two turned to look at us with similar emotions in their eyes.After a little exploration, it quickly flashed past.I don't care about it, more, I still listen to Ji Xiao's heartbeat.

"It will be fine..."

Ji Xiao thinks so.

Because of the sudden crisis, the walls he had built up in his mind were crumbling down, and I could hear many movements.

He is clear and sure, but there is still a trace of worry.This prompts him to react.

Ji Xiao suddenly let go of the hand that was holding me, and then clasped my shoulder without waiting for me to say anything.

He is obviously a little lower than me, but holding me like this, he seems extremely firm.He wants to be my reliance, to protect me from the wind and rain.

I am almost overwhelmed by the love in my heart.

The pace of the players is faster.I can see that Ding Shan must be trying to control her.But after her, the middle-aged woman Huang Yuzhen and the male newcomer Chen Xiaowei-these two are the two with the worst emotions.Huang Yuzhen looked panicked, and I could occasionally see her profile.She was almost like the frightened person in the oil painting "The Scream", her originally sallow complexion revealed a more bleak pale yellow under the kerosene lamp.

But this fear, after all, was only suppressed in her heart and was never vented.

This allowed Huang Yuzhen to escape.

Half a step behind her, Chen Xiaowei suddenly stopped.

He made a "ho ho" sound from his throat, and looked in the direction where Wang Luyao and Bai Wei were.

Chen Xiaowei: "This, what is this?!"

His voice echoed in the cave.

The steps of the players stopped because of this.Ji Xiao's thought density reached a new peak, but his face was only calmer.

We looked at Chen Xiaowei together, watching his arm trembling, pointing at Bai Wei.

Then we heard a soft gasp.This time the sound came from Wang Luyao.

Wang Luyao originally supported Bai Wei, but at this moment, she couldn't help but took a step back, and gradually let go of the hand that was holding Bai Wei's arm.

Under the kerosene lamp, behind Bai Wei, a black shadow slowly floated up, like a living thing.

And Bai Wei didn't know anything about it, so she asked blankly, "Lulu, what's wrong?"

This sentence seemed to be the last straw that overwhelmed Chen Xiaowei.

Chen Xiaowei screamed, stumbled and ran into the darkness.
