Chapter 73 Withering

Things are developing simpler than expected.

When Duan Xu successfully returned to the hotel after five minutes, he found that Qin Nianbing was pressing No. 4 backhand on the ground, stepping on one foot.

The man next to him also dodged his eyes and did not dare to look at her.

"What are you playing?"

Duan Xu was a little confused.

He had noticed the pile of rotten meat on the ground. Judging from his clothes, the owner of the pile of rotten meat was No. 5, the person who won just now.

Qin Nianbing was a little surprised when he heard Duan Xu open the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, if there is still someone like her in such a world, she can feel some peace of mind.

"I caught her, and the sound of making trouble behind her is her." Qin Nianbing pointed his chin and signaled Duan Xu to see the number four under her feet.

"What are you talking about? Let me go!" Number Four struggled violently, with a rough voice.

"Why did No. 5 die?"

Duan Xu asked.

Qin Nianbing stepped on No. 4 and said, "It was because No. 5 that I realized this boring game."

She looked at Duan Xu and said with certainty: "This is not a game of winning or losing at all. The real meaningful link is to roll dice and choose the punishment item, because the winner or loser has been decided from the beginning."

Duan Xu looked at her unexpectedly, and he did not notice this at all.

"Where did you see it?"

"The bell sound." Qin Nianbing stepped on No. 4 hard, then looked at Duan Xu and explained: "At the beginning, when we entered the hotel, three bells rang, and four bells rang at the beginning of the first game. Then the winner in the first game was No. 3 and the loser was No. 4."

Duan Xu thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"Then the fifth bell rings, the winner is No. 5. If I follow my logic, the loser should be No. 6. The fact is the same. After you left, the six bell rings appeared. Maybe it was because you broke a certain cycle. No. 6, who should have been punished, is still in the hotel, but... No. 6 is fine, No. 5 is dead, do you understand?"

Duan Xu nodded, looked at No. 4 who was trampled by Qin Nianbing, and said: "Because of the death of No. 4, except for No. 1, 2, 3, everyone's number was forward one, so you are not No. 4, you are No. 5, and now the fifth one who died is No. 6. The second round of the game starts from No. 5 to No. 8. You, who originally No. 5, jumped a round of games after becoming No. 4. There was no you in the first round, and no you in the second round, because you knew that as long as you sit on the poker table, there would be no winning or losing, and there would be only a set punishment. Is that right?"

Number Four's expression changed wildly, but he still strangled his neck and struggled desperately: "Let me go! What are you talking about? I don't know! Let me go!"

"Okay, you won."

A calm male voice appeared in the air.

In an instant, time solidified.

The hotel was quickly covered with dust, the walls gradually became mottled and cracks appeared, and the air was filled with a smell of decay.

The moonlight outside the window suddenly disappeared, and the sunlight came in through the window, counting the dust in the air.

But at this moment, Duan Xu noticed that even the dust in the air was still still.

Except for him and Qin Nianbing, everything in this world has solidified.

No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 6 quickly spread into ashes as the sudden change.

Qin Nianbing withdrew her feet in disbelief. She could not imagine that the living person who had just stepped on her feet turned into ashes in a blink of an eye.

"Squeak--"

The door to the hotel is opened.

A young man stood there wearing a white mask.

There was clearly sunshine behind him, but no shadow could be left on the ground.

He was obviously not old, but both Duan Xu and Qin Nianbing felt a strong, dying dusk aura in his body.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Duan Xu looked straight into the other party's eyes.

The man standing at the door just stared at Duan Xu.

His eyes made Duan Xu's heart tremble.

Duan Xu did not see murderous intent in his eyes, but instead... apology and recollection.

"I'm a coward."

His voice was lifeless, although not loud, but it could clearly make people feel his pain.

"Who are you?" Duan Xu wanted to ignore the feeling in his heart, but he found that he could not even hate the person in front of him.

"I just don't want you to see me again." He did not answer Duan Xu, but suddenly said something that shocked Duan Xu.

"I have killed you thousands of times, and you have escaped thousands of times, but only this time... there is one more person around you."

He looked at Qin Nianbing.

Qin Nianbing was uncomfortable when he was watching.

"Tell me, your name."

His eyes under his white mask suddenly burst into a scorching light, and his tone became a little anxious.

Duan Xu didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't want to answer any questions about this person who almost killed him, but his body responded on his own initiative.

Before the word "Li..." was released, Duan Xu was suppressed severely.

That consciousness that did not belong to Duan Xu appeared out of thin air.

If... this world really has no meaning of Duan Xu's existence, maybe he will immediately occupy this body.

But at this moment, change has already happened.

"Duan Xu, my name is Duan Xu."

"Duan...continue..."

The man wearing a white mask raised his head and murmured the name softly. When Duan Xu frowned and looked at him, he was already in tears.

"You succeeded...you really succeeded..."

"But you know, your success is exchanged for your eternal disappearance..."

"Is it worth it..."

"Li Jingnian, is it really worth it..."

It's this name again, it's this name again!

Duan Xu's personality is not fierce, but Li Jingnian, who is always mentioned, is like a thorn in his heart, making him lose it. Who is he? What is he?

He is his past life? He is his present life?

If there weren't ghosts, Duan Xu would never believe such nonsense.

The man wearing a white mask suddenly lowered his head and looked at his hands.

Duan Xu and Qin Nianbing also realized something and immediately looked around.

This hotel filled with a decay is turning into powder.

Roof, walls, tables and chairs...

Soon, Duan Xu and Qin Nianbing were exposed to the sun. They discovered that not only this hotel was turning into powder and disappearing, but also this world!

The man wearing a white mask suddenly laughed out loud: "I moved... I moved! Is it successful... Is this... alive?"

Duan Xu looked at him, his soft black hair swayed gently in the breeze.

A large number of green plants suddenly appeared in this strange symmetric world. In the wilderness, green vegetation flew in the wind, like layers of waves. Occasionally, a few weeds that were blown away were flying in the air.

Duan Xu suddenly discovered that the man wearing a white mask was also turning into powder and dissipating!

He saw that the man closed his eyes and half of his body had already transformed into the wind.

He didn't open his eyes until he was about to disappear completely. His voice was no longer calm, and he was full of gratitude and joy, and... hope.
