Outside the long streets and alleys, the lights are bright.

A gust of evening wind blew, and the masks hanging around swayed and collided with each other, making crisp and overlapping sounds, like tiny chess pieces settled on the chessboard, turning all the hoarse wailing...all into weak struggles on the line of fate .

Under the light and shadow, there is an unusually familiar face of a man. His eyebrows and eyes blend with the night, but the facial features are more and more clear and the lines are distinct.

There is no doubt that it belongs to Liu Ruxing's weak face - but when he thinks about it, he is not.

404 has taken over Liu Ruxing's skin, and has existed in this world as him since some time ago.

"When I first came down from Tianshu Mountain this morning, I had a hunch that you would definitely not let go of this opportunity."

Duan Qingni took a deep breath, and said softly: "Lucking for such a long time, laying a long line, and suffering from suffocation, and following us back and forth... What is the result? You have done so much, the main line is still It's twisted and twisted, and it's developing in the opposite direction——404, don't you feel tired?"

Not far away, 404 opened his eyes, and the inside was dark and bottomless.He moved forward, but couldn't take a step at all... A total of eighteen poisonous nails pierced into the muscles and bones and connected the veins of the whole body, and they would shatter immediately when pulled a little.

404 stepped back a little, his expression was not surprised, and his tone was still calm: "... When did you know?"

Duan Qingni took out the axis of fate, spread it out in the palm of his hand, and said flatly: "It's not too early, and it's not particularly late."

From the very beginning, the person here who is most aimed at Duan Qingni and who has the clearest attitude has always been Mu Xuan, who has always been hostile.But thinking about it now, Mu Xuan is just a shield to attract firepower, he has done all the evil things on the surface... so that once Duan Qingni encounters obstruction, his first reaction is to think that Mu Xuan is obstructing it.

Little did they know that there was another person behind him, who seemed to have no sense of existence, but in fact, every time a major change happened, he must be present in a silent way.

"On the cargo ship that day, it wasn't Mu Xuan who killed Chen Xianhai and Hao Daer at all... you were the one behind the scenes." Duan Qingni said, "Afterwards, I left a jade card to pray for Zhou, and I wanted to use this to break my respect for him. Trust, it just didn't work out, and it was a waste of time."

404 smiled, with an unpredictable expression, neither admitting nor denying it.

Duan Qingni said again: "Because the existence of Qi Zhou disrupts the main line that you control, but you have nothing to do with him. In order to lure Qi Zhou to show up again, you did not hesitate to pretend to be a fool, pretending to be captured by Yu Su, Follow us all the way down to the forbidden area—unexpectedly, Qi Zhou laid down a ruthless hand first and killed you and Mu Xuan directly, almost trapped there and couldn't get out."

All the above actions were originally only guessed by Duan Qingni. It may be that Liu Ruxing's purpose is not pure, and he is hiding in the dark to fish in troubled waters.

Until one day later, when several elders came to visit, Duan Wei Fu regretted telling the truth, and firmly expressed the attitude of the older generation towards the Duan family...

"It's you, 404. You poisoned my medicine."

Duan Qingni looked at 404, raised the fate axis again, pointed to the number on it and said, "You are afraid that the pointer will go to 12, and the ending will still be out of control. So from the time I first wore the book, I used slow poison to consume my body ...In this way, even if I can't die in the end, I don't have the consciousness to resist you."

Speaking of this, Duan Qingni glanced at Yu Su, and Yu Su stretched out his hand, pulled him to a safe position behind him, and silently pulled the sharpest dagger from his waist.

Qi Zhou once said that the beginning and end of this world is a temporarily safe place.

They can't kill 404, but they can suppress his actions first.Because of the existence of 404, Liu Ruxing's body was supported, which meant that he could not leave at any time - otherwise Liu Ruxing would be left with an empty body, which would be tantamount to giving up control of the main line of the full text.

"404, this is the end of the matter, it's better for you and me to take a step back." Duan Qingni said calmly, "You untie the axis of fate, and stop staring at me and Yusu. After that, you follow your main line and want to go to heaven It doesn’t matter if you enter the ground, we consciously go far away, and we will never interfere again.”

Hearing this, 404 couldn't help laughing and said, "Your ambition is really big..."

Duan Qingni: "Is this also called ambition? I just want to get back my freedom."

404 clicked his tongue and shook his head again, his expression became helpless and complicated.After a long time, he looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Duan Qingni, do you know what kind of trouble we are most afraid of when we wear books?"

"What do you want to say?"

"A short-lived, useless, arrogant chess piece that doesn't know it."

404 sighed, looked at Duan Qingni and said, "You don't really think that you are different, you are the unique and only person who wears books?"

"...?"

Duan Qingni paused, and wanted to say something, but 404 raised his voice and said, "You might as well tell me, what was your name before wearing the book? Where do you live? What relatives and friends do you have?"

Duan Qingni was stunned and said: "...what else can I call you?"

Isn't it called Duan Qingni?

404 asked: "Where are your relatives and friends? Whose name can you name?"

Duan Qingni's complexion changed slightly, she took a step back, was firmly supported by Yu Su, and asked doubtfully, "Duan Qingni?"

Duan Qingni froze completely, her mind went blank, and she couldn't even come up with any relevant information.

At this moment, he realized to his horror...it seemed that he had never thought about his real family members from the beginning to the end.If 404 hadn't suddenly asked, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to mention it, and he had no memory of it at all.

"It's fine, don't think about it...you haven't tied those settings at all."

At this time, 404 suddenly raised his palm, and dropped a stack of heavy files out of thin air.He turned to one of the pages and read aloud indifferently:

"Passerby X, unnamed. A cannon fodder character in an urban suspense novel—23 years old, died in an accident, and the location is the corridor of the editorial department."

With a snap, 404 closed the file and looked at Duan Qingni's pale face: "I made a mistake in my work. I didn't adjust your data in time when the character died. The world ports of the two books are in chaos, and you After staying outside for too long, I happened to bump into Duan Qingni who was born... I rushed to collect it afterward, but it was already too late."

Duan Qingni's expression was empty, and her whole body was in a state of complete numbness.Yu Su yelled several times, but he didn't seem to be able to hear him, and closed off all his senses.

"Because of my dereliction of duty, I have already compensated you for a brand new life. As Duan Qingni, you have survived for such a long time in "Jian Xian", which occupies a considerable part of the main content."

404 said: "Decades of glory and wealth, love and hatred. You, a passer-by who doesn't have a name, suddenly got so much, what is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Duan Qingni held her breath and looked at one row, two rows, three rows... all kinds of masks fluttering in the wind.

——He thinks that in this life, the most frightening thing is to become a pawn in the hands of others.

But until now, memories are blank, emotions are blank, and the connection with the outside world... is also meaningless blank.

Duan Qingni finally knew that there was another kind of chess that walked on the edge of the two worlds - he didn't even have his own name.

"Mr. X, a passer-by?"

404 slowly raised his hand and stretched out towards Duan Qingni: "Can you go back with me... This place doesn't belong to you."

The author has something to say: woo woo woo today is too short! !Will try to add more tomorrow!

【Small setting 2.0 not in the main text】

404 is a purely cold-blooded beater whose task is to manage the characters in each book.Once he makes a mistake in management, he will be punished very, very severely. Now that he has messed up two books, he can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

I racked my brains and thought about it for a long time, what is the biggest punishment that can be given to workers...?

Later, I asked someone else, and the answer I got was [unemployed and laid off] hahahahaha
