Chapter 439 Desperate situation?

Qi Xia walked forward in the dark tunnel for a while and found that it was a downward staircase, but the structure was very simple.

The smell in the air here is very strange, and the stair sections are also very neat. It seems that no one has walked in since it was built.

"What a pity..." Qi Xia touched the wall on the side with a look of regret, "You have cleverly integrated the principles of the Five Elements into your game, but no one can see it. Even you have to wear it. You can only play games if you wear a collar.”

After a left turn, the stairs began to climb upwards. Qi Xia touched the wall to confirm the direction. It didn't take long to see a button with a faint green light on the far wall.

He decisively reached out and pressed the button. The wall in front of him slowly trembled, and then slowly rose.

In front of him was Qiu Shiliu.

"Mouse House...?" Qi Xia raised the corner of his mouth, "That really reduces the difficulty of the game greatly."

Qiu Shiliu turned around with a shocked look on his face and watched Qi Xia walking out of the wall with four fruits. He didn't know what to say.

"You...you are from..."

Qi Xia didn't say anything, just put all four fruits on the table, then opened the door again and walked out.

Time is very tight now. Although Qi Xia has found a way to win, there are only ten minutes of darkness at a time.

"You have to hurry up..."

…

The gopher sat quietly in the "Cat House" for a while, then reached out and took out a faded photo from his suit pocket.

The photo was a group photo of a man and a woman. The girl pouted and made a cross-eyed expression, looking particularly lively, while the boy stared at her with a wry smile on his face, his eyes full of adoration.

The gopher touched the photo gently, and then carefully placed it on the ground away from him, as if he was afraid that the explosion of the collar would destroy the photo.

Having your head blown off is no big deal, but you can't throw this photo away.

"I'm sorry, I've tried many ways, but none of them are a way to survive." Gopher said in a low voice, and choked up within a few seconds, "I have tried all the ways I can think of...but I really can't. If you don’t go... I don’t even have a glimmer of hope..."

The gopher looked at the smart and lovely girl in the photo for the last time with his monster-like eyes. He reached out and touched the face of the girl in the photo, and then touched his short-haired mouse head, revealing a trace of wry smile.

Yes, I can’t go back long ago.

Why did I naively think that turning into a big rat with brown hair would be a closer way back?

The original me was always ten days away from escaping here, but now I am not even a human being.

The most ridiculous idea of ​​mankind is to never give up and always have hope.

"Click".

The door of the "cat house" opened, and the gopher slowly stood up, tidied the hair on his head, then put on a desperate smile again and walked towards the corridor.

All five doors in front of him were locked.

The gophers opened the door one by one from the outside. There was neither a "rat" nor any fruit inside.

All that lay before me were five empty rooms.

The man who led the team understood the game too quickly. It took him one round to verify his guess in the six rounds of the game, and then he finished the game in the second round.

\u003c/di\u003e

After thoroughly understanding the rules, all the fruits have been moved back to the "mouse house" in the third round. In the following days, the "cat" cannot find any fruits and cannot catch a mouse.

The "cat" will starve to death.

"Why on earth..." Gopher slowly showed a wry smile, "No one wants me to live... but I keep trying desperately to live. Am I too willful?"

He moved forward with heavy steps, mechanically opening and closing each door.

"This damn game should have ended long ago..." the gopher whispered, "A place where you need to kill others to escape... no one should be able to escape in the first place..."

The gopher crossed the corridor, only to feel the collar around his neck tighten again, this time making him feel completely breathless.

Finally, he stopped in front of the "Mouse House".

"Dong dong dong".

After a while, a voice came from the door.

"explain."

After hearing this, the gopher slowly raised his head and said, "It's over, I'm leaving."

"Oh?" Qi Xia said softly, "Aren't you going to play again?"

"It's not necessary." Gopher shook his head, "This is my best ending."

"Then what do you want to say?" Qi Xia asked again.

"Although it's inappropriate to say this, I have something to ask you..." Gopher said.

Qi Xia looked at the four teammates neatly behind him in the door, and then said to the gopher: "Obviously you are asking for help, but now you don't even call "leader"?"

"It's not necessary." said the gopher. "After this round, I will be blown up by the collar. There is a photo in my "cat house". I was afraid of blowing it up, so I left it there... Can you Please help me put that photo back into my pocket after I die...?"

When Qi Xia didn't respond, the gopher said again: "I just want to die with it, so that even if someone sees my bones... at least they know who I am."

"I refuse." Qi Xia said, "That is your own business, there is no need to trouble us."

After hearing this, the gopher sighed slightly: "You seem to be a very good deceiver, but at this moment, you don't even bother to lie to me?"

"I don't need to lie to you by saying nice things here." Qi Xia replied, "I don't know you, and I don't know how important that photo is. Maybe I will tear it up after you die. After all, I Out of sight, out of mind.”

"You..." Gopher smiled bitterly again, "Is it necessary? Since we don't know each other, why do you have to drive me away and kill me...?"

At this time, Qi Xia finally turned his expression serious, and said while holding the door panel: "To be honest, if you continue this game, you will die sooner or later. There is absolutely no way you can become "Heaven"."

"Really..." Gopher turned around expressionlessly and leaned against the door, "Is there a way out if I join you?"

"Did you know?" Qi Xia asked, "When you find that all roads are dead ends, you must choose to break through the wall as soon as possible."

"I don't think this is true." Gopher replied, "Even if I don't break the wall, someone will always break the wall. My best way is to follow the person who breaks the wall, which saves effort and worry and ensures my own safety. ”

"But you are already in extreme danger." Qi Xia sneered, "I put a gun to your head, aren't you ready to break the wall?"
