Ten Days End

Qi Xia thought about countless questions in his mind, and now only this question can determine the direction of the next conversation in the fastest time.

"As expected." Qi Xia nodded, "Let's make it short."

He took out the map given by Qinglong from his arms, unfolded it in front of Di Niu, and then asked: "Do you know these people?"

Di Niu glanced at Qi Xia, then reached out to take the map, looked at it for a long time, and asked: "What do these words represent?"

"Zodiac." Qi Xia said, "Are these people as trustworthy as you?"

Di Niu looked at the map for a long time, then slowly shook his head: "I don't know."

"I don't know...?"

"I just came to this city, and I haven't had time to understand the distribution of these "zodiacs" so comprehensively." Di Niu sighed, "But I'm telling you the truth, Qi Xia..."

Qi Xia felt a little sad when he heard his name being called out by Di Niu.

"We have basically lost contact since I put on the mask. "I'm not even sure what kind of masks they are wearing, and we have no way to confirm our identities by reporting our names, so we are all alone to anyone."

Qi Xia frowned slightly after hearing this: "You mean, even if you meet the remaining seven people face to face, there is no way to confirm who they are?"

"That's what I mean. If you can't ask all eight people on this map with eight "Heavenly Snake" beads, no one is truly trustworthy." She folded the map again and stuffed it back to Qi Xia, "Even if they are really them, too many things have happened in the past ten years. "Participants" can fast forward their own time through death, but "Zodiac" can't. We spend every day in reality, and anyone may completely collapse at a certain moment. "

Qi Xia knew that what Di Niu said was true. In the long-term loneliness and doubt, even the closest teammates may split.

Besides, "Tianlong" and "Qinglong" don't look stupid. They not only have the wisdom to lure these "zodiac signs" into the abyss step by step, but also have strong means of threat. Under the double pressure, even the firmest determination may be shaken.

"Besides, this is not the most fatal point." Di Niu said.

"Oh?"

"The most fatal point is that each of us is independent. Even if we are sure that we have not gone astray, no one can guarantee that you are still sticking to your original intention." Di Niu said.

"I...?" Qi Xia glanced at her.

"We are like walking on a tightrope at an altitude of 10,000 meters." Di Niu replied, "The reason why we are not afraid of this fatal height is because there is still a tightrope under our feet."

"I understand..."

"It's just that the tightrope has been stepped on for more than ten years... Everyone is afraid that it will break." Di Niu shook his head with a gloomy face, "Qi Xia, after seeing you, I realized that the tightrope is still strong. I can put my heart at ease. I hope others are the same."

Seeing Qi Xia silent, Di Niu stared at Qi Xia for a while, and then asked softly: "Your eyes... Did it succeed? Did you hurt "him"? "

Qi Xia nodded slightly after hearing this: "It's possible."

"What do you mean by "possible"? " Di Niu asked puzzledly, "Are you going to tell me that the road you have planned for so long... is now in an uncertain state?"

Qi Xia sighed deeply after listening: "Yes, I'm not sure, my memory is stuck."

"Memory is stuck? ”

“A plan that spans too long always has some details that are missing.” Qi Xia replied, “I’m working on this. My memory is very strange now…”

“Why is it strange?” Di Niu asked.

After hearing this, Qi Xia slowly turned around, facing the earth pit next to Di Niu, and then kicked a pile of sand down.

The sand fell into the pit, but it was far from filling the huge hole.

“A lot of memories have been filled in, and these memories are enough to constitute decades of life in fragments.” Qi Xia stared at the earth pit and said, “But the pit is far from being filled, and I still feel that I have forgotten too many things.”

After Qi Xia finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Di Niu, and said, “There are not many “zodiac signs” I can trust, and I need someone to help me connect my memories.”

“So you found me.” Di Niu smiled, “Then you may have thought too much.”

“What do you mean?”

“You always stick to your principles. "Each of us is a pawn in your plan. We only know what we should do and know nothing about other things, so I can't tell you what you are missing.""Then you can tell me what your part of the plan is." Qi Xia said.

"That's a pity." Di Niu walked to Qi Xia step by step and said seriously, "You have explained it yourself. Even if you ask me, I must not mention it."

"Oh...?"

"Qi Xia, you can trust me 100%, but I may not trust you." Di Niu said.

"I see." Qi Xia narrowed her eyes and looked at her.

"You told me that if you can't rely on your own efforts to join forces with your past self, it only proves that your level is just so-so." Di Niu said, "We can't take risks. We'd rather not release them temporarily than let anyone escape from here." Qi Xia nodded slightly and said, "It's better this way." "Really?" "If you told me the answer easily, I would even think that this is a trap left by my past self for my present self." Qi Xia said, "This is too much like what I would do. I'd rather let my future self die in advance than let the plan go wrong." "In that case, do you have anything else to ask me?" Di Niu asked again. "I..." Qi Xia thought for a while and replied, "Now I have found some new partners with the same ideals. They are also the few people I can trust in the "Zodiac" except you. You can find a chance to meet tonight." "Which one?" "The game name is "Narrow Road Encounter" Di Hu. "Qi Xia said, "He should be very famous among the earth-level "Zodiac" recently. You can go meet him tonight."

After hearing this, Di Niu opened his mouth to say something, but was still a little worried about being monitored, so he just nodded.

"There is another question." Qi Xia said again, "Can you tell me about the current "Earth Dragon"? "

"Earth Dragon"..." Di Niu frowned slightly after hearing this, "You mean... someone among us has become an "Earth Dragon"? "
