At this moment, right in front of Song Yang.

The young man's appearance is as beautiful as before.

His black hair hangs down slightly, and the ends of the hair can't hide the pair of narrow, beautiful phoenix eyes. When these eyes stare at others, no one can not be shaken.

Slender hands, cool fingertips, clear voice... This young man is like the most perfect work of art in the world, and no one dares to touch it easily.

And at this moment, this perfect work of art has become a piece of cracked ceramics.

Those cracks seem to be alive.

The moment Song Yang touched Xia Jing's arm, another thin crack appeared under his fingertips and on Xia Jing's skin.

Song Yang froze completely.

After the rest of the more than 100 players recovered, they also fell silent when they saw this scene.

Seeing Song Yang's expression, Xia Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Scared you?"

He straightened up and said, "Before I completely disintegrate, I can use the faceless woman's mask for a while..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, wanting to touch the small icon on the back of his neck.

Song Yang froze, and reached out to clasp his wrist.

Xia Jing stopped and tilted his head to look at Song Yang, as if he wanted to see what this man was thinking at the moment.

Song Yang's eyes had completely darkened, as dark as ink.

Jia Qing tremblingly said: "Brother Jing, why...how did you change into this?"

At the moment, almost everyone knows Xia Jing's identity.

Bian Ya and You Ye looked at Xia Jing with complicated expressions, and Sun Qianqian covered her mouth, unable to believe that Xia Jing had become like this.

Zheng Shu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Xia Jing's real face to be so beautiful, let alone Xia Jing's real identity to be so mysterious.

Tang Yi worried: "Brother Xia, are you... all right?"

and many more—

Liu Yi, Wang Yueran, Sha Yu, Yang Leliu, Gu Chen, and Gu Xing who fought side by side with Xia Jing in the copy, Chai Feng who fought against Xia Jing, those who have entered the safe house, those who have been on the forum The people who discussed the beauty store manager together... They all looked at this scene with different expressions, shocked and worried.

Someone stood up and said with red eyes: "Shop Manager, you didn't mean to save us..."

Song Yang asked the young man in front of him in a hoarse voice: "Is this the price you paid for stepping into the chaotic zone?"

Xia Jing paused, and his tone was still as calm as before: "It's sort of."

Song Yang clasped his hand and tightened it slightly.

In the next second, Song Yang stood up completely.

He pulled Xia Jing into his arms, and whispered to Feng Shi: "Please take care of me here, don't let some people mess around."

After saying that, he led Xia Jing straight to the depths of the corridor.

After walking two steps, he simply picked up Xia Jing, opened a room, and slammed the door behind him.

Safe houses are disintegrating.

Under the attack of those shocking cracks, some walls in the house have begun to collapse.

Outside the safe house is a black chaotic world, and looking up, you can see the huge gray vortex that is still rotating.

However, those chaotic spaces have not affected them for the time being.

The hut acts as a protector, as it has every time the player has seen it in the past.

There are many more sofas, tables, chairs and other furniture in the safe house, and many guest rooms have also been added. Xia Jing must have foreseen the current situation and used most of the monster's body parts for expansion.

Feng Shi knocked on the door of Song Yangxiajing's room and asked for his opinion.

Then he opened all the doors of the guest rooms in the safe house. After some players moved to the rooms to rest, the whole house finally took a breath.

Lu Chenfei and the others sat around the dining table.

Fei Shengxiao was holding the limp dumpling in his arms—the Golden Retriever's body was also full of cracks right now.

It seemed to be sick, with its tail drooping, and it was a little unmotivated.

Fei Shengxiao gently stroked the dumpling, and said with a complicated mood: "I used to want to enter the safe house because of curiosity. At that time, I really didn't expect that one day we would really have to hide here collectively for refuge."

The safe house became the only place they could take a breath during the storm.

"In the past, everyone was curious about the safe house and the store manager, and it was somewhat of a pleasure." Lu Chenfei said with downcast eyes.

But now, no one is happy anymore.

He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "I don't think the safe house will last long."

Li Mian's voice was a little sour: "Then Xia Jing..."

What will happen to that young man?

No one speaks anymore.

Everyone's heart is a bit heavy, and at this moment, there are people who are suffering more than them.

……

In the room at the end of the corridor.

After closing the door, Song Yang went straight to the bed and put Xia Jing down.

Xia Jing sat on the edge of the bed.

He has been paying attention to Song Yang's expression.

Song Yang half-knelt down in front of him, looked up at him for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "Will it really disintegrate completely?"

"Yes, it won't last long, just like a safe house," Xia Jing said, "But I told you that it might become like this, didn't I?"

That's right.

In fact, when they realized that the people who opened Smiley City more than 200 days ago were probably not the same people who created Smiley City four years ago, the two of them talked about this topic.

At that time, in Song Yang's personal space, Xia Jing once told him a bold plan.

Xia Jing and him analyzed where everything might go, how he would become, and what the two of them needed to do.

No one knows that it has not completely exceeded their expectations so far.

Everything is still within their plan.

It was still difficult for Song Yang to remain calm just seeing this Xia Jing.

Just like when he saw the safe house cracked like that before, he was still afraid and didn't want Xia Jing to stay in this place anymore.

Song Yang actually didn't want the situation to turn into this.

——Because the plan they prepared was a road full of risks, and he never wanted to embark on it unless necessary.

Song Yang has never been a person who is afraid of risks, but the premise is that the person who faces the risk is not his most important person.

Xia Jing raised his hand to caress Song Yang's face, and said, "Actually, forcibly breaking into the chaotic zone is only part of the reason why I became like this."

"'They' are now forcibly rebuilding Smiley City, and of course they want to take this opportunity to completely wipe out my 'heresy'. Before I went to you, I was already attacked by 'them', and cracks began to appear."

"But that's exactly what I want."

"I'm afraid that they won't succeed in destroying the safe house in one go. They will just shut me up in the chaotic zone. That will make things more troublesome. I have to think about whether to use the remaining monster body to repair the safe house. Wait The next opportunity is to directly implement the plan now."

Xia Jing said calmly: "They attack the safe house and me so desperately, and it saves me from making choices."

If Xia Jing wanted to fight back, then things might not have turned into what they are now.

However, sticking to each other will only waste time. If you want to really solve the problem, you need a clear decision.

Xia Jing waited too long in Smiley Face City.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

He would choose to enter the four-star dungeon with Song Yang and the others before, also to speed up all this.

Now, the four-star dungeon has been cleared, and the people behind Smiling Face City have started to make big moves.

The safe house is about to be destroyed, and Xia Jing will also be wiped out along with it.

But in fact, this is what Xia Jing wanted in the end.

This is the most important stage of their plan, a transition that will be calculated.

Song Yang held his hand tightly.

At this moment, there are actually many things he wants to confirm.

Everything will go the way they envisioned, right?

Their plan is bound to work, right?

They're going to leave Smiley City together, right?

However, when these questions came to his throat, Song Yang fell silent again.

Just because trust is a topic that they don't need to talk about anymore.

Xia Jing trusted him.

He also trusted Xia Jing.

In this world, there is no problem that the two of them cannot solve together.

Maybe because he felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Xia Jing said, "Doctor Song, we will be separated for a while soon, are you sure you don't want to use this last moment to talk about other topics?"

Song Yang's Adam's apple rolled down.

He said: "The space of Smiley City was distorted just now. All of us saw a corridor. That place seems to be Smiley City four years ago. Back then, Smiley City was still called 'Shadow'?"

"Ah, did you see that?" Xia Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right, Smiling Face City four years ago was such a prison-like place."

Song Yang said sensitively: "Your memory has all been restored?"

"Well, at the moment those people crushed me completely," Xia Jing said proactively, "'Shadow' was indeed created by Jiang Ying."

"Jiang Ying is a person with supernatural powers. His supernatural powers are so powerful that his body has stopped growing since he was 17. His parents and people around him are very afraid of him, and he is also very afraid of his own supernatural powers. It makes him feel inferior and cowardly, even though he is a 27-year-old adult, he is still often bullied by people much younger than him."

Song Yang heard of this case for the first time.

Someone actually stopped growing physically because the ability was too powerful?

Xia Jing continued: "His ability is also related to 'Shadow'. The City of Shadows is a product of the explosion of his ability."

"The operation method of Shadow City is similar to what we guessed before. Jiang Ying created a framework, and the subsequent energy replenishment comes from the players' negative energy such as fear, despair, and sadness."

"Jiangying has kidnapped many people, including those who bullied him, and strangers who passed by him. He is not only taking revenge, he is also enjoying the taste of torturing others, even if those people have nothing to do with him. Nothing to do."

"Those dungeons that escaped death, the rule that you can leave with five thousand points, are all for torture."

Give people a sigh of relief, give people an untouchable hope.

All the players were constantly suffering both physically and mentally. Jiang Ying watched excitedly as these players writhed and struggled in his palm.

His own power, which he was once afraid of, finally brought him the satisfaction of controlling the life and death of others.

Song Yang frowned and said, "Then you were kidnapped by him because—"

Xia Jing: "Jiang Ying lives very close to my school. In fact, he has some mental problems. His parents don't care about him all the year round, so he always runs away from home and goes to the back door of our school to watch student activities. I I once bumped into him and was beaten, and I helped him."

Song Yang was stunned.

Xia Jing helped Jiangying, but was finally kidnapped by Jiangying and taken to the City of Shadows?

"But I'm not a very kind helper, you should understand me." Xia Jing said.

Xia Jing is not a nice person.

Of course he is not a bad guy.

He stepped on the boundary line between light and shadow. Whenever he reached out to others, it must be because he became interested in that person and that matter.

And this kind of "interest" that will disappear in an instant is obviously not what Jiang Ying really wants.

Therefore, the initial gratitude slowly turned into fear and hatred after Jiang Ying gradually understood Xia Jing's essence.

When the City of Shadows appeared in this world, Xia Jing also became one of the people Jiang Ying wanted to torture.

However, Jiang Ying's feelings for Xia Jing were obviously more complicated.

He hates Xia Jing, he wants to see Xia Jing showing fear with his own eyes, and he longs to enter the dungeon with Xia Jing, hoping that Xia Jing can protect him like he did before.

"He is quite an interesting person," Xia Jing described what happened that year very simply, "but then he and Shadow City were destroyed together."

Song Yang stared at Xia Jing.

"It's not quite right to say that," Xia Jing said slowly, "At the beginning I reached [-] points, successfully contacted his energy, devoured his spirit and energy, and closed the city of shadows, but after all, I was not There is no way for a supernatural being to completely digest his energy into my own."

"So it ended up being, a small part of his energy became my energy. This small part of my energy managed most of his energy and let it sleep for four years... until more than 200 days ago, there was a strange The supernatural being found this mass of energy and restarted it."

In a few words, Xia Jing told the truth enough to shock all the players outside.

Song Yang took a deep breath and said, "So, the reason why the City of Shadows will be transformed into the City of Smiles is..."

Xia Jing smiled: "Well, it's because of me."

Xia Jing could only destroy Jiang Ying's spirit, but he couldn't really destroy Jiang Ying's strength.

When the energy block in Jiangying was awakened again, Xia Jing couldn't stop the City of Shadows from starting to operate again.

He can only drive a small part of his own power, change the city of shadows, and give players room to breathe.

Thus, the City of Shadows became the City of Smiles.

The oppressive prison disappeared, a huge game hall appeared, and a comfortable personal space for players also appeared.

The official supermarket appeared, and the holographic large screen and the holographic small screen appeared. The tools and props provided to the players increased, and the dungeons were divided into different star-level difficulties for the players to choose.

In order to maintain this transformation, it was difficult for Xia Jing's energy to be separated from Jiang Ying's energy.

If he wanted to go deep into Smiley Face City and figure out who was playing tricks, he could only split a small part of his energy into a small part and turn it into an entity.

Thus, the puppet Xia Jing and the safe house appeared.

The safe house is an external creature, unable to hold its power, once it is damaged, it can only be repaired by external force.

Xia Jing is the power itself, the power circulates in his body, and it will not easily escape, so he will not easily die.

It seems very powerful.

However, because Xia Jing's power was restrained by Jiang Ying's inorganic energy and strange supernatural beings, he lost his memory as a small part of the entity, and he couldn't move freely through the entire Smiling Face City.

The safe house is his medium to go to different instances.

Every Monday is an opportunity he tries to create for himself.

In the final analysis, all of this is the result of the restraint and counter-constraint between Xia Jing, Jiang Ying's energy and the strange supernatural being.

And now Smiling Face City and Xia Jing will become like this, naturally because strange people with supernatural powers have finally occupied the upper peak.

Xia Jing took the initiative to take a step back.

He chose to wait in the shadows for the enemy to appear.

Song Yang quickly digested the amount of information.

He suddenly thought of something, and sharply said: "Just now in the space vortex of Smiling Face City, the first players to be strangled were those players who didn't enter the four-star dungeon until the end. Does this have anything to do with you?"

Xia Jing replied: "

My part of the energy that was still stuck with Jiang Ying and the strange supernatural beings sensed the change in Smiley Face City, and distributed some power to the more than 400 four-star dungeons. "

These are all things that Xia Jing didn't know until he regained his memory and re-established induction with another part of the energy block that belonged to him.

Let's call himself Little Xiajing, and call his larger part of the energy block that still covers the entire Smiling Face City and is still stuck with Jiangying and the others Great Xiajing.

At that time, under the invasion of strange supernatural beings, what Da Xiajing could do was already very limited.

It can only project its own energy into more than 400 four-star copies.

Players who have entered the dungeon have successfully absorbed his energy and naturally obtained his protection.

Players who did not enter the four-star dungeon were equivalent to facing the turbulent Smiley City naked, and naturally became the first wave of people to be killed.

As Xia Jing talked, he looked at Song Yang thoughtfully: "This doesn't seem like my way of doing things. Perhaps unconsciously, you really had a lot of influence on me."

Xia Jing would never spend so much energy protecting people who had nothing to do with him.

But Song Yang will.

Song Yang is a good person, this is the fact that Xia Jing knew very well from the very first time he knew this man.

Song Yang said softly: "But four years ago, didn't you sacrifice yourself to close the City of Shadows and protect more people?"

Xia Jing paused.

Although Xia Jing didn't say it, Song Yang could guess it.

Xia Jing's physical body must have been wiped out in the process of destroying Shadow City and Jiang Ying.

Of course, Xia Jing himself would have another explanation for this.

For example - devouring people seems to be a very interesting thing, he just made a bold attempt.

Song Yang could completely imagine Xia Jing saying these words.

However, no matter how you say it, the essence behind all these incidents is that Xia Jing is still protecting others.

Song Yang stared at Xia Jing and said: "Xia Xia, human beings are complex creatures. It is very normal for two contradictory emotions to appear on the same person. Humans often do things that are not It’s a matter of one’s own style, all because human beings are complex individuals with multiple emotions and motivations.”

"You will do these actions, which is enough to prove that you are always a human being."

Song Yang lightly rubbed Xia Jing's cheek with his fingertips: "A person with warmth."

Xia Jing also stared at him.

After a while, he raised the corner of his lips and said, "Song Yang, you make me look forward to returning to the real world even more."

His body began to shed debris.

The disintegration has officially begun.

Xia Jing suddenly tilted his head and asked, "What time is it?"

Song Yang said in a hoarse voice, "Tuesday morning, it should be past five o'clock now."

"It's more than five o'clock in the real world, so there should be morning light."

"Well, it always dawns early in summer."

"I don't know what the sunrise will look like."

"We'll see together later."

Xia Jing said softly: "Song Yang, I want to see your home and your room."

Song Yang exerted a little force on the hand holding the back of Xia Jing's head, and he gently pressed Xia Jing's forehead against his forehead: "When you return to the real world, you can watch as much as you want, and you can still sleep on my bed every day."

"Doctor Song's bed should be very soft?"

Song Yang smiled.

He said again: "By the way, I wanted to ask before, were you still a high school student when you entered the City of Shadows?"

"Well, I was 17 years old when I entered, and when it was destroyed, after these four years, I should be considered 22 years old, right?"

"One year younger than me." Song Yang paused.

If Xia Jing was studying and living normally, he would not have graduated from university yet.

The two did not speak for a while.

Both of them are imagining some illusory past that can never be repeated, and some fuzzy future that they may be able to touch with their hands.

After a while, Xia Jing blinked slowly: "Although my disintegrated appearance looks a bit scary, but Song Yang, do you want to kiss?"

Song Yang looked at him: "Don't say such things, you will always be the prettiest in my eyes."

That's why he didn't let Xia Jing use the human skin mask.

He doesn't need Xia Jing to continue to pretend in front of him.

They can always face each other with their truest selves.

Xia Jing laughed lightly when he heard Song Yang's answer.

Afterwards, he lowered his head, and Song Yang pressed his head down.

The two embraced and kissed.

After that, they are about to part for a short time.

The short-term separation is for a more permanent reunion.
