The bedroom was quiet, Hang Xiutu closed the book, looked at Hang Yang on the bed, and couldn't help chuckling.

He put down his book, walked to the bed and sat down, gently stroked the top of Hang Yang's hair: "can't sleep?"

Hang Yang still closed his eyes tightly, and his whole body was lying on the bed. When he closed his eyes, he was so beautiful and harmless, like a soft doll.Hang Yang replied stiffly: "I can sleep."

Hang Xiutu laughed softly: "If you can't sleep, just get up."

Completely different from the cruel and indifferent ice sculpture beauty in front of outsiders, Hang Yang frowned, and looked indescribably funny with a serious look: "I can! If the master lets me fall asleep, I will definitely be able to sleep."

The camera silently showed Hang Xiutu's eyes—his light brown eyes were full of smiles, so gentle and thick that they could hardly melt away.

The barrage turned into a groundhog screaming crazily:

[Ahhhhhhhh Teacher Hang's eyes are the beautified version of me! ]

[Who wouldn't want to have such a housekeeper, Zai Zai! ! !Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ]

[Please realize one household, one Yang as soon as possible, thank you! ]

[Catch a limp young cub and suck it!Whoa whoa! ]

[Mr. Hang, let's talk straight!I'm greedy for your wife! ]

"Open your eyes, get up," Hang Xiutu's voice became a little more serious, "I said so."

Only then did Hang Yang open his eyes, a pair of big blue eyes blinked helplessly, sat up carefully, and leaned closer to Hang Xiutu: "Do you think I'm annoying? I can fall asleep!"

The barrage broke out for the second time, resembling a monkey scene:

[Ahhhhhh help!He wants my life! (Oxygen inhalation.jpg)]

[Ahhhhhhhh, do you know how cute you are? ! ! ]

[The nosebleed can't be stopped at all, wc! ]

[Is it true that the beauty butler accidentally released Baby Yang Yang? ! ]

……

"No." Hang Xiutu patted his head and smiled, "Let's go for a walk."

"But!" Hang Yang gently took Hang Xiutu's hand on top of his head, and solemnly held it in front of him, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at the next room with chills, "But, they want your life."

Hang Xiutu held Hang Yang instead, put his slender hand in the palm and patted it gently: "You will protect me, right?"

"En!" Hang Yang nodded vigorously.

As if being coaxed by Hang Xiutu's words so that his heart melted, Hang Yang showed the first bright smile from the heart since the program started, which can be seen by everyone - his heart and eyes are all about the person in front of him.

"Alright then," Hang Xiutu smiled slightly, "Let's go."

In the next room, Gu Yuan was lying on the bed, looking up at the ceiling: "Why are you here? It's obviously a trap."

Xun Xu looked at him and sighed softly: "What about you? Why are you here?"

Gu Yuan laughed: "Actually, the means of controlling people are complicated and complicated, and simple and simple. It can only be said as 'coercion and temptation'."

"You know, my teacher is a fanatical defender of the heliocentric theory. I finally changed his name and sent him abroad, but Duke N got his exact location, and even, other more secret and more accurate information," Gu Yuan weary Sighing deeply, "Then tell me, here, I can completely get rid of this deadly trap. I have no choice but to step in even though I know it's a trap."

Xun Xu sighed again: "I knew it."

"What about you?" Gu Yuan sat up, "What do you have—"

"Same, he sent me something similar to yours, and attached a photo of you boarding the train," Xun Xu said in a low voice, "I know you will definitely come. Then I have no choice, I have to go with you. "

The moment he heard "I have to be with you", Gu Yuan's calm mask seemed to be cracked with a hammer. He let out a low "Oh" and lay down again, burying his face in the white quilt.

The barrage looks silly:

[? ? ? ?It turns out that these two really have a relationship!I am a big grass! ]

[I I I!I've always thought they were a good match!Start knocking from the leading film!Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]

[md knockout scientist is so cool today! ]

[I can do it again! ! ! ]

The comment area is also more exciting than one:

[Today, these two couples are the kind of confidantes who live and die together, I really like this kind of ambiguity! ! !Ah ah ah ah ah! ]

[1L: Right, right!That's how it feels! ]

[2L: ambiguous feeling yyds! ! ! ]

[3L: The key is why I can smell a strong be atmosphere?I've been in the academic world for many years, and I've never seen a "friend of life and death" or a "confidant" who can he...]

[4L: Upstairs shut up!I'm on top, don't force me to do it! ]

[5L: Get the third floor out!Can you just talk nonsense! ! ! ]

……

After a long while of silence, Gu Yuan changed the topic a little bluntly: "Do you think this castle is strange?"

Xun Xu looked at him: "Huh?"

"The castle is the last line of defense for the nobles to defend their territory. But this castle is backed by a cliff. To the left is an inaccessible dense forest, and to the right is a vast expanse of wasteland where no one can see a ray of human habitation. Once it encounters heavy snow, or In other accidents, you can’t get out at all, and the master himself will have to be trapped here. Tell me, what is he planning?”

Xun Xu also fell into deep thought: "Indeed, this castle has no doors and windows. Although it is exquisite and beautiful, I always feel that it is like... like a tomb."

"I have a guess," Gu Yuan jumped off the bed suddenly, and looked at Xun Xu, "Shall we go for a walk?"

Xun Xu was given a headache by his temperament, so he rubbed his temples: "Our next door—"

"Oh! We are next door to Duke N, I know!" Gu Yuan glared at him, "Why are you so wordy! Don't worry, let me put my words here, he won't kill us."

Xun Xu frowned: "In the current situation, life and death are just a matter of the other party's thought. You are putting your throat in the hands of others—"

"So what if we are really dead? Even if we die for love, isn't it good?" Gu Yuan smiled and picked up the gorgeous candlestick from the table, and put it in Xun Xu's hand, "Go, open the way ahead."

The barrage has become the hardest hit area of ​​"?" and "!" again:

[? ? ? ? ?What just happened? ! ]

[? ? ? ? ?Am I wrong? ]

[What kind of straight ball attack is this! ]

[! ! ! ! !I was a good guy on the spot! ]

[Report!Wishing CP Chaohua has been built overnight! ]

There is also a group of mother fans in the cp party who single out Xiaohang and Erhang:

[Yang Yang!Teacher Hang!Hurry up and learn!Don't let the old mother worry about your marriage! ]

[If you have this speed, you probably have a second child!I hate iron but not steel! ]

[Hurry up and give the camera to these two useless scoundrels!My wife wants to see them fall in love quickly! ]

With the sound of the door opening, Gu Yuan poked his head to look outside, then reached out and tugged at Xun Xu's sleeve: "No one."

In the pitch-dark castle, Xun Xu walked ahead holding a candlestick, followed closely by a tail.

The entire hall was silent, only the very light footsteps of two people.

"What did you come out to see?" Xun Xu asked Gu Yuan in a low voice.

Gu Yuan maintained the enigmatic riddle character design, and then vaguely said: "Regardless of winning or losing, this is probably our last night in this castle, let's see."

Xun Xu stopped asking, and let Gu Yuan walk slowly by his sleeve.

"Masaccio's "Out of Paradise"," Xun Xu said in a low voice, looking at a painting on the wall, and he took a few steps forward. "It's very strange, really strange. As we all know, this Duke N is obviously a religious absolute. Defender of power, but these paintings he favored..."

Xun Xu raised the candlestick a bit higher: "The color tone is full of enthusiasm and focuses on realism. I also like this "Madonna on the Grass". You really should take a closer look under the natural light during the day."

Xun Xu's voice softened, and Gu Yuan saw an immersive smile in his eyes: "The colors are very, very rich, unbelievably dazzling but also unbelievably soft and soothing. Raphael is really a genius. There are many 'round' elements, and with brush strokes, the colors you see are turned into light."

He stared at the painting for a long time before withdrawing his gaze reluctantly, and glanced at the hall: "The owner of this castle has really good taste, but judging from the hanging paintings—over there, Giotto's classic perspective works are still Paintings with the three masters of the Renaissance abound. Love nature, humanity, and fully respect the self-worth of "being human", shouldn't this be the value orientation of Duke N?"

Xun Xu sighed lightly: "It's really against harmony. With such a castle and such an owner, shouldn't the layout of his house be a rigid religious story with a strong medieval style? Why? The dog of the Holy See is actually an admirer of these masters of art. ?”

Gu Yuan didn't answer, but walked around Xun Xu with his hands behind his back, and finally stopped in front of him: "I saw "On Two New Sciences" in the priest's room."

"This book?" Xun Xu narrowed his eyes slowly, "It sounds familiar."

Gu Yuan smiled and said: "Galileo's masterpiece, but because he was sentenced to religious trials, this book was not allowed to be published in Italy, and Galileo was only published in the Netherlands four years before his death."

Xun Xu's eyes widened slightly: "This! It's so contradictory, I can't figure it out."

"That's right, this Duke N—I don't know how many civilians and religious reform radicals he killed." Gu Yuan pressed his chin, lowered his head and fell into deep thought, "Are you somewhat rebellious?"

As soon as the camera turns, I return to the guest room where the "rebellious" Duke N lives——

Under the warm candlelight, Hang Xiutu was sitting by the bed and talking face to face with Hang Yang. Suddenly, like a frightened noble cat, Hang Yang pressed his slender index finger on Hang Xiutu's lips: "Wait a minute."

Hang Xiutu could almost see the two cat ears on Hang Yang's head, and he didn't speak, just letting him hold his mouth.

"Master," Hang Yang knelt in front of Hang Xiutu, almost pressed his entire upper body into his arms, and whispered into Hang Xiutu's ear, "They're going out."

The barrage was ecstatic on the spot:

[I'm sorry!Mom was wrong!No straight ball confession needed!Fishing system yyds! ]

[Fishing without knowing yyds! ]

[Wipe the nosebleed hard, Yang Yang, you know how to do it! ]

[Ah ah ah!You two get lost and fall in love!I will fight for you! ]

Hang Xiutu smiled and patted Hang Yang on the back: "It's okay."

The two people here walked out the door.

"Where did they go?" Hang Xiutu looked at Hang Yang.

Holding the candlestick in one hand, Hang Yang slowly closed his eyes and whispered: "To the right, out of the corridor, they are now...in the hall on the first floor, they should be talking."

"Then let's go to the third floor," Hang Xiutu reached out and rubbed Hang Yang's hair, "Don't disturb them."

Hang Yang frowned, and unconsciously increased his strength with the hand holding the candlestick, but then Hang Xiutu's hand gently covered it, involuntarily "rescuing" the candlestick in Hang Yang's hand.

"It's a good thing," Hang Xiutu tapped lightly between Hang Yang's eyebrows, "What are you doing so hard for?"

"Master..." Hang Yang covered his eyebrows, his expression didn't change much, but there were two words clearly hanging in his big eyes - grievance.

Not only the audience, but Hang Xiutu couldn't resist the look in his eyes, so he took Hang Yang's hand and walked towards the stairs: "Let's go."

The two walked up to the third floor in silence. Hang Xiutu put the candlestick on the window frame of the small roof, flicked his robe, and sat down by the window.

He looked out the window and patted himself beside him: "Come on."

Hang Yang obediently walked over to him and sat down, wrapping his arms around his legs that were close together, and retracted habitually, the eyes he looked at Hang Xiutu were silent and gentle, so soft that the hearts of the audience trembled.

"The blizzard hasn't stopped yet." Hang Xiutu looked out the window, the moonlight sprinkled on the fine and majestic snowflakes in midair, reflecting a little silver light, which was too beautiful to behold.

"It will always stop." Hang Yang's blue eyes blinked, reflecting the wind and snow outside the window.

"Yes," Hang Xiutu smiled and looked at him, "It will always stop."

"But there is something I haven't told you yet," Hang Xiutu asked, "Do you know how everyone here is selected?"

"'Everyone who gathered in this villa today, everyone has a target they want to kill, and your target happens to meet here'," Hang Yang copied the contents of the letter from Duke N like an endorsement Memorized it meticulously, "You wrote it very clearly."

Hang Xiutu shook his head: "No, it's more than that."

Hang Yang's eyes slowly cooled down, he lowered his head a little, and the whole person showed an obvious gesture of rejection: "You don't need to tell me."

But Hang Xiutu gently pinched Hang Yang's chin, forcing him to raise his head to listen to himself: "Everyone who gathers here, apart from those personal grievances between them, there is another more important condition..."

At this critical moment, the camera was stuck on the other side just right, and there were "a lot of curses" on the barrage.

Gu Yuan walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. The high-quality leather sofa made a soft "squeak", not loud, but it was very clear in the quiet night.

"Before, there were people making troubles every day, and there was no room for extra thinking," Gu Yuan said softly, "so that some obvious problems were ignored by us. Those who have died did have personal grievances with each other, but You and I should be the same, and have nothing to do with the nobles and commoners here, and my goal from beginning to end is - Duke N himself."

Gu Yuan continued: "That letter, the temptation that touched my heart at the end, he said, 'Get rid of the handles that hold you back forever, and take revenge on the class power that persecutes you - you will have the opportunity to kill N himself , and the only chance.'”

"I'm here for this," he looked up at Xun Xu, "I'm going to kill N, and make him pay for his years of contempt for life."

Xun Xu looked at him quietly: "I know."

Gu Yuan suddenly became excited: "But my plan may—"

Xun Xu interrupted him, his eyes were as quiet as a windless lake: "I know."

He thought about it and added: "We are the same."

In the quiet night, the two walked against the wall together, meticulously inspected every brick from the first floor to the third floor of the castle along the wall, and finally determined that the castle was a seam apart from the small roof on the third floor. None - not even a mosquito can fly out.

"No door, no window," Gu Yuan knocked on the brick at hand, "It's really like a coffin."

"Then let's do as he wished and let this be the tomb of Duke N."

The screen cuts back to the third-floor rooftop, and Hang Xiutu looks at Hang Yang intently: "Everyone gathered here, apart from the personal grievances between them, there is another more important condition."

"The nobles here hate me for being arbitrary and depriving them of some of their benefits; for the common people here, everyone has loved ones who died at my hands," Hang Xiutu said slowly, "everyone here and N The duke has a vendetta."

He glanced at the stairs lightly: "The two are flying around the castle like flies now, even if there is no promise of 'inheriting wealth', they will want me dead, they can't wait to tear off my flesh and drink my blood ..."

"There are too many people who want your life." In an instant, Hang Yang switched back to the cold and terrifying housekeeper in the daytime, "but 'thinking' is the most meaningless thing."

Hang Xiutu shook his head, "Put back the knife in your hand."

He pressed Hang Yang's shoulder, like coaxing a child: "Have you ever thought about starting again? Get rid of the identity of K beside N, everything in the past will no longer exist, no one knows who you used to be, Duke N's most trusted K died with him in this castle, and all he left was a blank slate."

Hang Yang slowly widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

"'From the moment you step out of the castle, you will be reborn, and no one will pursue the past'," Hang Xiutu repeated the end of the letter softly. He looked at Hang Yang with complicated eyes, and it was hard to imagine the two The murderous executioners would stare at each other and show such eyes, "It has nothing to do with those people, this is a gift I want to give you."

He caressed Hang Yang's side face: "tomorrow, tomorrow the snow will stop. Listen to me, get out of here and start over."

Hang Yang's gaze sank, and he stared at Hang Xiutu: "What about you?"

"Me?" Hang Xiutu laughed, "I will forever get rid of the shackles of sin, belief, class, family, identity, and position, and move towards freedom."

He patted Hang Yang on the face: “be happy for me, okay?”

Hang Yang stared at Hang Xiutu quietly, he had never shown such a pious look in his eyes: "Impossible."

Hang Xiutu's eyes dimmed, and he turned his face away: "If you die with me, I'm afraid that the devil will grab you when it catches you."

Hang Yang jumped down from the window frame without saying a word. He straightened his clothes and knelt down on one knee in front of Hang Xiutu: "Then go to hell, let's go together."

"I don't believe in God, but if you want me to, then I do; I don't like killing people, and if you want me to, I'll do it better than anyone else. Your wish is my wish."

"I have no faith, you are my faith"

The cp party exploded on the spot, so excited that it almost lost its language function. In addition to "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" on the barrage, it was spread layer after layer, so that people's faces could not be seen clearly.

[Ah, ah, ah, you are my belief! ]

[New love words get! ! ! ]

[I was wrong!I was wrong again!What is the fishing system? !Straight ball yyds! ]

[Ah, ah, you two are my faith! ! !Gan!Come out and fall in love with my old lady! ]

Hang Xiutu slowly widened his eyes, then lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and in the end a thousand words were condensed in a smile, and he just patted Hang Yang's head: "Get up, let's go back."

Who would have thought that the last night of "Stairway" was indeed the only "Christmas Eve".

When Hang Xiutu, who was taking a nap, woke up from the bed, he found that Hang Yang was already fully dressed and standing at the head of his bed, as usual, appropriate, serious and cold.

"Good morning, master." Hang Yang put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly.

"Are they still alive?" Hang Xiutu asked.

Hang Yang's voice was cold: "as you wish, those two mice ran around in the castle until midnight, very energetic."

"Okay." Hang Xiutu nodded.

He got up and walked towards the door, but the moment he held the doorknob, he was held down by another hand.

"Release." Hang Xiutu looked at Hang Yang's sapphire-like eyes, and his tone was not serious.

But seeing that Hang Yang didn't let go, he made it harder: "Let go—open."

Hang Yang's hand in the white glove trembled slightly with a degree invisible to the naked eye, but still let go.

Hang Xiutu opened the door, but at this moment, a choking "white smoke" came to his nostrils!

"...Flour?" Hang Yang subconsciously covered his nose, he was confused for two seconds, and then his eyes widened suddenly, "Dust explosion!"

Even though he understood that Duke N came here to seek death, and understood that this castle was the "last paradise" he built for himself, Hang Yang still rushed towards the stairs as if out of instinct of protection.

"It's useless." Gu Yuan put his hand on the handrail and walked down slowly. He looked at Hang Yang and smiled, "Even if you open the window on the roof now, it's useless. The concentration has reached a critical value. You only need one pill." Mars, it will explode in an instant.”

"Rat," Hang Yang stared at him. If the eyes were real, Gu Yuan might have been delayed, "Rat in the gutter."

Gu Yuan just smiled and didn't answer him, but his eyes fell on Hang Xiutu who was behind Hang Yang.

"Why is your expression so ugly, Lord Duke?" Gu Yuan turned his head in confusion, "Isn't this the grave you prepared for yourself?"

There was a sound of footsteps behind Gu Yuan, and Xun Xu waved the matchbox in his hand and walked down the stairs. The two stood together with calm and crazy eyes.

Xun Xu slowly opened the matchbox in his hand: "Farewell."

At this moment, Hang Xiutu suddenly grabbed Hang Yang's wrist, kicked open the door of the nearest room and rushed in.

——In the corner of the small utility room, Hang Xiutu hugged Hang Yang tightly in his arms, and gently kissed his forehead: "Live, I..."

Before the words were finished, everything was drowned in the flames and heat waves

——This castle exploded.

The barrage also exploded:

[! ! !This, this, this! ]

[how so!It's too ruthless! ]

[Good guy Gu Yuan sent everyone away in one wave? ? ? ! ! ! ]

[I'm so torn! ]

[! ! !no!I do not believe!Teacher Hang must have protected Yang Yang in the end, right? ! ! ]

[Where is Yang Yang!Ahhh!The credits don't pop up! !Please! ]

[Yang Yang!Yang Yang! ]

It's over, but it's not over yet.

The pitch-black screen slowly lit up again, and the camera finally shifted from inside the castle to outside the castle—even if it was just a piece of broken bricks and tiles.

On the ruins, something suddenly moved slightly, a huge stone slab "bang!" was thrown on the bricks and rubble next to it with a loud noise, and another cloud of dust filled the air.

In the anticipation of everyone, Hang Yang dragged something and crawled out from under the ruins. His clothes were almost soaked in blood, and large areas of red and black dirt were intertwined. Only one face was so pale that it was almost terrifying. - as if alive, and as dead.

Without saying a word, he dug up a stone slab next to him that was bigger than his body, and dragged Hang Xiutu's half-charred "corpse" out of it.

Hang Yang held the man in his arms and looked up at the sky.

Just like what Hang Xiutu said last night - the blizzard has stopped, and a ray of sunshine can even be seen in the sky.

But he hugged the corpse, dragging a winding trail of blood, and walked towards the back of the villa step by step against the early morning sunlight.

The castle is backed by a cliff, with dense forest to the left and wasteland to the right.

Hang Yang walked to the edge of the cliff and glanced at the abyss below.He smiled slightly, without any hesitation, he jumped down holding Hang Xiutu's body.

The screen slowly went black, and a big character popped up in the center
