It was a human corpse. It was cold and cold. It had been folded in a box for a long time, and its joints were twisted. There was a strong smell of blood and resentment full of resentment.

"Cha-"

Qiuran didn't hesitate even for a moment, just with a glance, she recognized that the Specter who suddenly appeared in front of her was not the kind of guy who was easy to deal with before. The trajectory of the short knife in her hand was like a diving falcon, stabbing the opponent's heart as quickly and skillfully as before.

Pierce, stir, destroy or dig out the ghost core - this is the most standard ghost removal process.

But what she didn't expect was that something blocked the way of her knife!

A star-shaped logo!

The knife was supposed to stab into the chest of this sudden attack, but it slammed into something - an extremely hard thing that looked like just a dyed piece of cloth, but it was touching When it reaches the sharp edge, it flashes.

Her knife was bounced off!

"Well!"

Qiu Ran never expected this to happen. She was originally a player who mainly focused on long-range combat, and the use of short swords was only a self-defense measure in the most unavoidable situation.

The ghost screamed and rushed towards her. In all fairness, this ghost should have been a fairly handsome man when he was alive, but now, there is no other expression on his face except indifference and bloodthirsty.

"Well!"

Qiuran couldn't dodge in time, and in an instant, her arm was cut with a deep hole that was visible to the bone, and the edge of the wound even exuded a thick black gas. She didn't have time to think about the pain, so she rolled and crawled to the other side to dodge.

Li Gui looked down at the human blood stained on his hands. His expression was pale and stiff, completely lacking the look of a human being - there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he should have been a man who loved to laugh when he was alive. But now, he no longer has a soul that belongs to human beings, and what belongs to him is only the cold and dark killing intent.

He just mechanically and cruelly removed the intruder in front of him. His attack was so fast that Qiuran didn't even have a chance to look back at his teammates——

But that might be a good thing. Otherwise, she would see the faces of her teammates, who were always calm, turn pale the moment the box was flushed open.

"impossible……"

He whispered.

A paper bomb exploded on Li Gui's body, but all the damage seemed to be blocked by his black and white uniform.

"You, you were a player during your lifetime?!"

All this has only happened in a few dozen seconds from the time it was opened to the present. After shouting out the last sentence, Qiuran was already strangled by the ghost and lifted into the air.

"Save..." She struggled to make a voice from her throat, "Save..."

There was a crackling sound from her neck bone, which was almost shattered. If it wasn't for her body strengthening at the base, her throat would have been cut off now.

She was dying, Qiu Ran thought vaguely.

All the air was squeezed out of the lungs, and the things that were readily available in the past suddenly became extremely precious at this moment. She struggled to call out the word "save", but in the corner where her vision was blurred, she saw Xia Xingye crossed them and walked towards the black box.

She suddenly realized...

Yes, Xia Xingye didn't have to save her at all.

He just needs to take out the note and go to the next space, she and the ghosts in this space will be locked here.

And he... would go on safely... without paying any price.

Yeah, isn't that his way of doing things?

Qiuran smiled hard, she couldn't breathe anymore. In front of her eyes, a revolving lantern began to appear.

She is an orphan, her parents died in a car accident, and her family property was occupied by relatives. When she was desperate, she was raised by the old director of an orphanage who was not her relatives or her husband. This kindness made her accustomed to being nice to others, and accustomed to believing that everyone in this world will be fine.

Maybe it was fate that compensated for her bad luck in childhood, or maybe it was because people with a simple mind improved their strength particularly quickly. After she entered the game, her luck was very good. Not only did she survive, but she even had a Friends... Yes, after all, Ye Xiangxiang is her first friend in this world.

Ye Xiangxiang always said she was stupid, and she also knew that Ye Xiangxiang would use her strength from time to time to ask her to help with certain things. But she knew that this girl was always just a knife-mouthed tofu heart. The only thing she felt embarrassed about was that she couldn't help her enough.

...It's just a pity, she had planned to accompany Ye Xiangxiang into the black crack where the crow opened the door. She is now dead here, and will never... see her again.

She... was deceived again.

"flutter!"

The sound of something being pierced sounded in front of her, followed by the loosening of her throat.

Qiuran's last memory of being pinched in the air was a knife that pierced Li Ghost's heart from behind.

A large volume of air poured into her lungs again, and with it came the hope of survival. Qiuran clutched her bleeding throat, her eyes darkened, and she coughed hard.

It wasn't until a long time later that she calmed down and looked over there.

A short knife pierced from behind, piercing Li Gui's heart. Specter looked at the sky, and still had the last cruelty and confusion on his face - cruel to murder, hesitant about who killed him.

But the person who killed him is self-evident.

The knife was drawn from his body. The ghost fell slowly. The slender young man wearing a black hood crouched down and looked at the corpse in front of him with a blank expression.

There was no expression on his face, no fright, no sadness, no laugh.

"You saved me..."

"Let's go."

Xia Xingye said concisely.

He pulled the slip of paper with the number of steps written on it out of the black box. Qiuran nodded, supported himself with his sword, and got up from the ground to follow.

The passing Haig was closed behind them, along with the corpse of the Specter. Xia Xingye never looked back.

"That ghost's clothes..."

"It's the sign of Chenxing." Xia Xingye said succinctly, "Chenxing's team uniform has a protective effect. If you want to pierce the heart, unless you pierce it from behind... at a specific angle."

"You know this? Yes, I seem to have heard that you used to be from Chen Xing... That person, was your former teammate?"

After Qiuran said this, she realized that she might have brought up Xia Xingye's sadness. But Xia Xingye just said: "Yes."

He paused, then added, "Yes, he's my teammate. I didn't expect him to be here."

"why?"

"Because he didn't die in this dungeon, even his body should have been chopped clean by cracks." Xia Xingye said lightly, "But maybe, he was transported here after his death. Or maybe, what appears in this box is just a fake used to disturb people's hearts... It doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter," he said.

Qiuran was quiet: "You and him... are you familiar?"

"He's the hero I mentioned earlier, the idiot."

"..."

The two walked for a long time, and after a long time, Qiuran didn't speak again. Xia Xingye said indifferently: "But the one lying in the box is nothing but a dead corpse. Even if it becomes a ghost, it is just a ghost that has lost its mind, it is no longer him."

The two walked slowly through the black and white chessboard. They didn't speak, but cooperated tacitly, beheading the ghosts that popped out of the box again and again.

"The puppet master should still be behind us, but I don't know if he has entered the chessboard." Xia Xingye said, "In any case, we need to get out of here quickly."

He smiled bitterly and said, "In the end, it's me and the tiger who seek skin and suffer from it..."

"not like this."

Qiuran said suddenly behind him, her expression was very serious and her eyes were serious: "You are different from him."

"What's the difference?"

"You just saved me." Qiu Ran smiled, "At that time, you could have taken the note and left, not to mention... that Specter, still."

She paused and didn't speak, but everything was silent: "So you and him are not the same. The debts between us have been cleared. From now on, we are teammates."

Xia Xingye looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

"Let's go." Qiuran reached out to him, "Let's leave here together."

Xia Xingye looked at her fixedly and smiled lowly: "Okay."

...

After the two left, a purple figure arrived at a black checkerboard.

"Huh, now I don't know if I look like an old general on the stage..." the man muttered, "Huh? Has anyone been to this grid next to you?"

The way this person is currently dressed can be said to be very unflattering. His back is full of various knives, some are knives, some are tridents, some are saws... If at first, after opening a bad box, Lin Huai would raise his eyebrows and haggle for a while, however, Later, as soon as he opened the box, he stabbed himself with the knife without changing his face...

Lin Huai always felt that his luck seemed to be much worse than others, even the puppets said so.

Puppet: "It stands to reason that a person can only encounter a box that causes damage to himself after opening about 30 boxes, so..."

Lin Huai:  …

Puppet: "So, your luck can be said to be very good!"

"My aesthetic is also good." Lin Huai said.

He Shi Shiran opened the black box in front of him, and inside the black box was a head. The puppet just glanced at it and said, "Your luck is not very good..."

Lin Huai: "I also want to know how much better my luck can be."

Puppet: "This box means decapitation..."

Lin Huai:  …

He glanced at the puppet blankly, and the puppet laughed awkwardly and said, "This, you can also replace it with other parts, such as ○..."

Lin Huai's answer was to take off his head without saying a word.

puppet:? ? ! !

"Wait a moment." Lin Huai's head said expressionlessly, "I'm a little uncomfortable with my current height... Okay."

This scene can be said to be very scary. He held his head in one hand and the puppet in the other, making sure that the two were on the same level: "Now we can guarantee our level of conversation."

Puppet: "Can you not be so scary!!!"

"Compared to this," Lin Huai's head obviously ignored him, "the grid here is more interesting..."

He looked at the corpse of Li Gui on the chessboard next door, and muttered: "Strange, I just saw this dress, it's not on this Li Gui?"
