Ten Days End

Qi Xia peeled the peanuts without stopping. He rubbed the thin red skin off a peanut with his fingers, blew on it, and threw it into his mouth.

"Clean up this place... Then why don't you do it?" he asked.

"Because I don't want to be exposed so quickly." Ringo looked forward and took another sip of wine.

"I don't want to hear this answer." Qi Xia lowered his head and looked at the peanuts in his hand and said, "I want to hear the truth."

"Because I want to invite you to join the "Extreme Dao" so that we can better protect the "End of the World." Ringo said again.

"That's not right either." Qi Xia shook his head, "Give me another reason."

Ringo was silent.

Qi Xia was more sophisticated than she thought.

"Qi Xia, how about you tell me what you think?" Ringo threw the question back, "What kind of person am I in your speculation?"

"You are weird. "Qi Xia said expressionlessly, "You have helped us many times, so it is difficult for me to infer your motives. I only know that you have no ill intentions, but are just planning something."

"You can even infer this?" Ringo smiled, "Are you kidding me?"

Qi Xia ate another peanut and turned back to say, "Ringo, you can't possibly clean up the "Heaven's Mouth" because your "echo" is "inspiration."

"What..." Ringo was stunned at first, then quickly calmed down. She smiled bitterly, shook her head and asked, "How could you know this?"

"Ringo, what do you want to do?" Qi Xia said with his head down, "Are you my enemy or my teammate?"

"I haven't determined my position." Ringo still smiled and said to Qi Xia, "It's a pity that you have been patient and guessed my identity but didn't say it. "

Qi Xia paused: "The book says that 'a good warrior must first be invincible'. Before you attack, I will not take the initiative to reveal my flaws."

"Haha!" Ringo covered his mouth and laughed, "I don't believe in 'The Art of War', I only believe in 'The Theory of War', because the theory of war says that 'attack is the best defense'."

Qi Xia didn't want to argue with the other party. He patted the peanut crumbs on his hands and turned his head to ask: "So you took the initiative to mix into our team and 'inspired' three 'echoes'? Is this your means of attack?"

"Yes." Ringo nodded, "I was the first one to wake up in the whole room. I touched the man next to me, so he 'echoed'. After I stood up, I touched Han Yimo, so he also 'echoed'. The last time we found Officer Li, I ran up to check his injuries as soon as possible, and he successfully got the 'echo'. "

The "inspiration" described by Ringo is no different from what Qi Xia thought. When each "echo" in the team gained abilities, Ringo had touched them.

Ringo continued: "Originally, I could have not triggered the "bell", but who knew that the woman named Xiaoxiao was determined to kill you, so I had no choice but to show my ability to prove my identity, and then I saved you. But I didn't expect you to be so cruel. You ran away from home the next day. Lawyer Zhang and I have been looking for you for seven days. "

"Oh?" Qi Xia frowned. There seemed to be two doubts in what Ringo said. He was ready to ask one by one. "Ringo, you and Xiaoxiao are both from the "Yudao" organization, but you don't know each other?"

Ringo took another bottle of beer from the side and handed it to Qi Xia: "Can you help me open it? "

Qi Xia picked up the bottle opener beside him, opened the bottle cap, and handed it to her.

She took a big sip of wine, and then said: "First of all, "Jidao" is not an "organization". We have no leader, no rules, no fixed members, and no fixed plans. We have nothing except "Long live Jidao". "

"What...?"

Qi Xia originally thought that "The End of the Land" was a three-legged tripod of "Zodiac", "Participants", and "Jidao", but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Secondly, every member who calls himself "Jidao" is protecting this place in his own way. I don't know who the other "Jidao" are. I don't know their plans at all. "

Ringo looked at Qi Xia with some melancholy: "It seems that not only I want to attack you, but the duo named Jiang Ruoxue and Xiaoxiao also have high hopes for you. "

Qi Xia no longer entangled with this question, and asked again: "Why can you not trigger the bell when you use your ability?"

"This question is very interesting. "Lingo sat on the chair and stretched, and said casually, "Qi Xia, if you hear the bell, there must be someone "responding", but someone "responding" does not necessarily mean there is a bell."

"You mean..." Qi Xia carefully understood this sentence and inferred"Some people here will not alarm the giant bell when they "echo"?"

"That's right."

Qi Xia felt that he had some preconceived ideas.

After all, every time the bell rings, it will be accompanied by "echoes", but who said that the bell must ring when someone "echoes"?

At that time, he asked Jiang Ruoxue about the principle of the bell ringing, and the other party only answered "hearing the echo" or "the echo disappears". She never said that "echo" and "bell" are necessarily related.

"This is "Pavlov's dog"..." Qi Xia frowned, "Is someone playing tricks on us with the bell?"

"It's not playing tricks on you... When you can control the "echo", you will naturally understand what I mean." Ringo wiped his mouth gently and asked again, "Then Qi Xia, do you think among your teammates... Is there anyone who is obviously an "echoer" but has always concealed his identity? Do you think someone has been deceiving you all the time? "

It must be said that Ringo's words made Qi Xia's back cold. If there really is such a person, then this person's scheming is too deep.

But how much can Ringo's words be believed?

Everyone I meet in this ghost place is lying. How can I crack it?

"I don't even care about the "Yakuza" in the team, how can I care about an "Echoer" who hides his identity? "Qi Xia looked at Ringo meaningfully, "Now I don't want to talk to you about others, I just want to ask your position. How should I treat you in the days to come?"

Ringo lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Qi Xia, I have a "big plan", but I can't do it myself, I want to pull you in. "

"What plan?"

"As I said, the "Yakuza" has been protecting this place, but I think they are wrong." Ringo showed a serious expression, "I will lend you my power, let's destroy this place together. "

"You mean..." Qi Xia seemed to have thought of something.

"My "inspiration" can greatly increase a person's "echo" probability. Let's form an "echo army", then mess up this place, and finally return to the real world."
