non-human reincarnation

The small space in the carriage made all the whispers clear and private, and Chi Wu stared at Cheng Yan intently, with an unbiased gaze, making it impossible for Cheng Yan to avoid this question.

"Is it strange to be nice to you?" Cheng Yan asked back.

Chi Wu didn't answer, insisting on knowing the answer to the previous question.

Cheng Yan leaned back against the wall again, and after a while, he rolled his Adam's apple and met Chi Wu's unchanged gaze.

"From the first time I saw you, I had no choice." Cheng Yan said.

Chi Wu's breathing fluctuated for a moment, and he saw his own shadow in Cheng Yan's pupils.

During the long waiting time, he didn't make any guesses about Cheng Yan's response. His mind seemed to have experienced a snowfall, and he buried all the answers he didn't want to hear regardless.

But now, Cheng Yan said an answer that made him even more at a loss.

Chi Wu's sluggish expression made Cheng Yan squint his eyes and smile. He raised his hand and rubbed Chi Wu's wet hair: "Are you happy?"

Chi Wu's beautiful eyes drooped and bent into a clear and shallow moon.

Cheng Yan was by his side, like a starry sky embracing him.

a long time.

"Cheng Yan," Chi Wu said, "I have no choice—"

"Let's talk about it after we go out." Cheng Yan interrupted him, "Now is not the time to talk about these things, and I also..." He said in a lazy tone, "I'm a little dizzy."

Chi Wu's chest heaved a little, and then he got up: "I'll get you something to eat, you can go to sleep after eating."

"Instant noodles?" Cheng Yan asked.

Thinking that he was disgusted, Chi Wu persuaded: "Don't choose, what else do you want to eat in the ladder, the instant noodles are all snatched."

"I didn't say I wouldn't eat, but I was eager to eat, and I was really hungry." Cheng Yan stood up with his hands propped up, "Do you still have to boil water?"

"Well, it's uncomfortable to eat dry," Chi Wu said, "but there's nothing to burn now, so I'll look for it."

"I am with you."

The door of the previous carriage was not closed. Cheng Yan went over and swayed twice, stopped in the middle of the aisle, and raised his hand to knock on the small table in the middle of the seat: "It should be made of board, ask Yuan Dian to come and have a look, and if you are sure, we will dismantle it." Come down, and cut some more filaments for the fire."

In the end, most of the tables in the carriage were chopped down by Wulilu with a bone knife and split into long wooden strips suitable for burning.

They sat around the crude fire, pried open cans of chickpeas, put them on to heat, and took off their coats and set them aside to dry.

Cheng Yan and Chi Wu, the two "hollow" contestants, couldn't take it off, sitting cross-legged by the fire and waiting for the water in the can to boil.

"Next time I will wear two T-shirts." Chi Wu complained in a low voice. After thinking about it, considering Cheng Yan's combat needs, two T-shirts might not be enough for him, so he said, "You also wear two."

"Okay." Cheng Yan said with a smile, "Crossing the ladder takes a lot of T-shirt."

Chi Wu blinked in the chatter.

"When you didn't come, I thought you would clear the level by leaving the car." Quan Wenlin said, "I didn't expect you to go through so much."

"Anyway, it's boring now," Wulilu suggested, "Can you tell me?"

Only Yuan Dian came in with Cheng Yan and Chi Wu. The first two obviously didn't want to talk, so the question fell on Yuan Dian.

Yuan Dian shrugged, with a familiar smile on his face: "Speaking of which, that's a long story..."

The story will be more exciting than Chi Wu expected, especially with Yuan Dian's excellent expression management.

"Cheng Yan, are you okay?"

The female voice suddenly appeared in it, which was very abrupt, and Chi Wu stared at the canned eyes and raised it up quietly.

"much better."

Cheng Yan's answer was very short, maintaining basic politeness.

The woman's elbows were propped up on her knees, her eyes were full of "interest" that Chi Wu had seen before, and as expected, she said in the next sentence, "I didn't see that you were injured so badly before."

Cheng Yan let out an "um" from his throat.

"This is the first time I have experienced this kind of ladder." The woman took a box of roasted chickpeas. If you can pass the test based on your personal ability, if you can choose the captain, you will do your part."

The water was gurgling and boiling in the can, Chi Wu pouted his nose, lowered his head, pulled out his saber from the left side of Cheng Yan's combat pants, squeezed into the bottom of the can, and carefully shook the can off.

"stupid."

A low male voice sounded from the back, and then a layer of warmth covered the shoulders. Cheng Yan's right hand circled Chi Wu from behind, and finally held his right hand holding the saber, lending him a lot of strength.

The can fell steadily to the ground.

Chi Wu moved his hand, broke away from Cheng Yan's palm, and took off the second can.

Looking up, Chi Wu realized that the story would stop at some point, and everyone's eyes were on them.

Wulilu had an aunt's smile on his face, but most of Yuan Dian's smile was suppressed, and Quan Wenlin was even more exaggerated, constantly observing each other between Cheng Yan and Chi Wu.

The woman who had secretly praised Cheng Yanming just now said uncertainly, "Did I misunderstand? You... really have the rumored relationship?"

Chi Wu leaned against Cheng Yan, lowered his head and carefully put the seasoning into the instant noodle bowl, making him very thin by Cheng Yan.

"Are you ready?" Cheng Yan wrapped the can with his sleeve, "Shall I pour water in?"

"Well," Chi Wu pushed the bowl over, "pour."

They cooperated as if no one else was there, until the smell of instant noodles wafted out.

The chickpeas in the mouths of the others were all stale at the same time, and Quan Wenlin was frustrated in love, so he took his own can and left first.

"How long do we rest to go to the next carriage?" Wulilu asked.

They waited for Cheng Yan to speak, but Cheng Yan seemed to be concentrating on testing whether Chi Wu's hair was completely dry.

"Cheng Yan, how long do you want to rest?" Yuan Dian asked.

Cheng Yan raised his chin: "Everyone get some sleep, and we'll set off."

"I want to sleep twice." Chi Wu spoke willfully.

Cheng Yan was helpless: "I will notify you when we leave."

They each looked for a place to rest, and Chi Wu and Cheng Yan returned to their previous positions.

The instant noodles were still for Cheng Yan, and Chi Wu took the last sip and the noodle soup. After putting away the bowl, they leaned together. Cheng Yan exhausted most of his energy and closed his eyes again.

"Go to sleep in a corner with your head resting on it," Chi Wu suggested.

"It's too hard." Cheng Yan said, "I don't want to rely on it."

Chi Wu: "..."

The subtext was too obvious, Chi Wu took a breath, and moved a little further: "Then you just sit here."

Cheng Yan followed Chi Wu, and landed on his shoulder unceremoniously: "Patients need love and care."

"You go against the wall." Chi Wu pushed him.

The head on the shoulders is very firm: "They say it's too hard."

Chi Wu: "..." He straightened his lips, sighed, and let his shoulders find balance.

He's not as tired as the others, he's been on the ladder too many times, he's very adaptable, he just likes to sleep on the first ladder.

The difficulty of the first ladder is not high, but his teammates are stupid. After a long time, Chi Wu learned to use sleep to avoid taking in too many useless and wrong suggestions and reasoning.

"Cheng Yan," Chi Wu called him in a low voice, "are you asleep?"

"Not yet," Cheng Yan said, "Your bone is astounding."

Chi Wu: "..." He shook his shoulders, "If you don't like it, don't rely on it."

Cheng Yan: "Alright." His voice was deep and he was about to fall asleep, "What do you want to ask me?"

"How do you feel about the difficulty of this ladder?" Chi Wu asked.

"It's more difficult than before," Cheng Yan said, "but our ladder has never been easy."

Chi Wu: "This kind of illogical ladder, the escape method of each car is very nonsensical, and it is difficult to pass the level with reasoning." He said, "I heard from a senior at the eighth level in the third world before that his eighth level A ladder is an illogical ladder."

"That means someone has encountered it before." Cheng Yan said, "Actually, this match is even more strange. I tried them just now, and it seems that they only have some physical attack-type abilities. For this ladder, it is almost It's useless."

Chi Wu frowned slightly, his fingers stuck on the corner of his clothes.

Suddenly, there was a hot touch on the top of his head, and Cheng Yan patted his hair: "The hair is dry, go to sleep for a while, if you are curious, let's talk about it after we get out of this ladder."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to pass that soon." Chi Wu said, "Do you still remember the ring in the prophecy of Wuli Road?"

Cheng Yan: "I know what you mean, but at least we have to go through all the carriages before we can see what it means."

Chi Wu nodded, closed his eyes and took a rest.

Probably Cheng Yan's fever just made Chi Wu feel very comfortable, and the drowsiness came quickly. He pressed Cheng Yan's head and fell into a deep sleep.

----

Chi Wu was awakened by the subtle discussion sounds in his ears, his eyelashes trembled, and he leaned towards a warmer place.

The tactility of the ears and neck is special. Chi Wu opened his eyes and found himself leaning on Cheng Yan's shoulder, while Wulilu was squatting on the side, with his aunt smiling again.

"..."

"Are you awake?" Cheng Yan pushed his forehead, "I got up when I woke up. I scratched my neck and it was so itchy from your hair."

Chi Wu touched his upper lip with the tip of his tongue, got up quickly, pulled off his clothes and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything, I just woke up and came to see you," Wulilu said, "It happened that Cheng Yan asked me what I saw before I came in."

Chi Wu's throat and hair were dry, and when he was about to get up, Cheng Yan handed him a bottle of water in a timely manner. Chi Wu licked his lips, reached out to take it, hugged the water bottle, his shoulders slumped lazily, bit by bit Drink slowly.

"What is that ring you mentioned?" He asked Wulilu.

Wulilu shook his head: "What I see is a ring, what does it look like... like a hula hoop."

"Is there anything on it?" Chi Wu asked, "Twisted patterns and the like."

"Things..." Wulilu fell into deep thought, and clapped his hands half a minute later, "I remembered! There are four small depressions on the ring."

Chi Wu and Cheng Yan looked at each other at the same time.

"What's your expression?" Wulilu asked, "Four depressions, what's the problem?"

"Maybe." Cheng Yan said, "After the next carriage, we will have a chance to go out."

Wulilu: "Why?" He looked at Chi Wu, "Do you understand too?"

Chi Wu forgot that in the eyes of Wulilu, he seemed to be a little waste. He hadn't played well for a long time. Chi Wu missed it a little, pouted, and shook his head: "I don't understand, I don't understand anything."

"Then why did you look at Cheng Yan just now?" Wulilu asked.

"Hmm..." Chi Wu tried to say, "In order to pretend that I understand?"

Wulilu: "...Farewell." He turned to ask Cheng Yan, "Did you think of a way to get out?"

Cheng Yan was in a good mood, and with a faint smile on his face, he teased Wuli inscrutablely: "No."

"Then why are you looking at Chi Wu?"

"Maybe it's..." Cheng Yan thought seriously and said, "For love?"

Wulilu: "You two go to sleep, and call me when you leave."

Cheng Yan sent off five miles away with a suppressed smile, got up and patted his clothes and pants, and reached out to Chi Wu: "Let's go, next section."
