Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao, one dares to sleep, and the other really dares to accompany them.

So that dignified dark copy, the door was wide open and waited for them for more than an hour before Xu Rendong woke up from her deep sleep.

"You're awake!" Lian Qiao moved his stiff body, but his expression was extremely satisfied.

Xu Rendong's eyes were slightly red and swollen, obviously she was crying hard just now. He rubbed his eyes and replied in a hoarse voice, "Wake up."

Lian Qiao patted his head with a smile, as if to praise him for his great sleep. Xu Rendong looked at him blankly, as if he didn't quite remember what happened just now.

Since he doesn't remember, even Joe has no intention of reminding him of his embarrassment. He staggered to his feet, rubbed his numb legs, and asked, "Are you ready? Are we going out now, or do you want to wait?"

Xu Rendong looked out of the elevator subconsciously. When he saw the bottomless darkness, his eyes shrank painfully. He quickly lowered his head, opened his mouth several times, but stopped talking.

Lian Qiao noticed his retreat and suddenly smiled.

"The first time I saw you cry, to be honest I'm a little happy."

Xu Rendong: “…”

Even Joe seemed to realize that what he said was very perverted, so he coughed awkwardly and corrected: "I mean, the first time I saw your vulnerable side..."

Xu Rendong blushed slightly, looked away and said, "Are you disappointed?"

"Disappointed? Why?"

Xu Rendong: "I'm obviously older than you, but I can't even control my emotions..."

Lian Qiao was both distressed and funny when she heard this. He rubbed Honeysuckle's hair and said with a smile: "You're only a few years older than me, so you say things like that. Besides, everyone has emotional breakdowns when you actually..."

He paused, and in a more gentle and firm tone, said slowly: "You don't have to be strong all the time. Although I am younger than you, I am already an adult. Occasionally Also try to rely on me, okay?"

Xu Rendong was stunned.

In his more than 20 years of life, no one has ever said to him "You don't have to be strong all the time". He grew up in an orphanage. Although the dean treated him well, he always felt inferior to his origin.

He is an abandoned child. His biological mother didn't want him, and neither did those who wanted to adopt orphans.

He always felt that he was worthless.

So he suppressed his desire and swallowed the pain alone. He felt that he was not qualified to ask for anything, nor was he qualified to complain. Even if he was injured, he just wanted to hide in the corner and lick the wound silently.

Until I meet Lian Joe.

It wasn't until he met Lian Qiao that he realized that he could be counted on and loved. So he desperately protected Lian Qiao and tried to show the maturity of the older side. He wanted Lian Qiao to live happily and to be a boy who never grew up without any worries.

But such Lian Qiao suddenly said to him: You don't have to be strong all the time, you can also rely on me.

He raised his mouth slightly, raised his hand to stroke Lian Qiao's eyebrows, and said softly, "You are already an adult man..."

He couldn't help blushing slightly, and pushed him away angrily and funny.

Lian Qiao finally felt relieved when he saw that his mood had eased, and decided to go out to challenge the dungeon.

If the elevator has spirituality, it must be full of tears at this time: You can think of me!

Lian Qiao was about to step out of the elevator, but Xu Rendong pulled him and said, "We have to find a weapon, or we will die."

Weapons?

Where are the weapons in this empty elevator?

Lian Qiao looked around, his expression brightened, his eyes fixed on the elevator door.

Making miracles. Hearing a loud bang, Lian Qiao broke the door down with his bare hands. Not too big, not too small, just like a dragon slayer.

Elevator: ...you might as well not think of me.

Lin Dong looked at the half of the elevator door with a horrific expression on her face, thinking to herself: Even Qiao, an adult, is really not a personal thing.

Despite being mentally prepared, Xu Rendong still felt stiff when she stepped into the darkness again.

It is natural. Not to mention that Xu Rendong has died twice here, any normal person who is suddenly thrown into a large unfamiliar forest and loses his eyesight will panic.

.

The two walked in the dark for a long time. This time, like last time, the two walked in the direction of the wind. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but as we walked downwind, the swampy smell in the air became less and less. The screams of human beings are still heard from time to time in the distance. Lian Qiao was still nervous at first, but when he heard the voice getting further and further away from him, he calmed down.

He tried to say some jokes to lighten the atmosphere, Xu Rendong kept chatting, and a doubt gradually emerged in his heart:

Five Zang Temple, literally refers to the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. The folk saying "worship the temple of the five internal organs" refers to having a good meal and making the internal organs happy. But the dark forest, the vines, the blind man, all of which are obviously not suitable for the "Five Zang Temple".

Why is this copy called "Five Zang Temple"?

Xu Rendong fell into contemplation.

until there was a voice in the dark.

"Hi. Front."

Xu Rendong was taken aback. This voice—how is this voice so familiar? who is it?

Although the owner of the voice has not yet been recognized, Xu Rendong's back has already burst into white sweat. He tensed up instinctively, squeezed Lian Joe's arm, and silently reminded him to be careful.

Lian Qiao gestured back with a handshake. He said, "Who are you?"

In the darkness, the man said in a very kind tone: "I am also the player this time."

Lian Qiao identified the man's position by his voice, and pulled Xu Rendong back two steps quietly. The feet stepped on the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, making a small sound. When the man heard it, he chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, I only have one person. Besides, this dungeon is so difficult, I can't support it by myself, and I finally met a living person, how could I hurt you?"

"You are very reasonable." Lian Qiao's tone was sincere, and he raised the dragon-slaying knife in his hand.

The man sighed: "I don't expect you to trust me, I just want to walk with you. This place is so weird, I'm driving me crazy."

This remark is polite, presumably the other party is an elegant person. It was this elegant and polite manner that allowed Xu Rendong to finally confirm the identity of this person.

The gentleman who kills without blinking!

In the copy of "Butterfly in the Stomach", the gentleman took pleasure in killing people, and killed an unknown number of teammates. He even dismembered Xu Rendong alive, just to see if there were butterflies in his stomach.

But—isn't the gentleman dead? !

Xu Rendong not only smashed him to pieces with a sledgehammer, but also fed him a whole bottle of poison, and left after confirming that his heartbeat, pulse, and breathing were all gone. Make up for it without dying, this person is too perverted!

etc.

Xu Rendong's heart skipped a beat.

The gentleman may not be dead, but resurrected! He has killed so many people, there must be a puppet on him! And there's a good chance there's more than one!

This is bad!

He beat the gentleman to death, the gentleman must be impressed by him! I didn't expect to meet again one day, I'm afraid this is the person who cut off his hand in the last reincarnation!

Xu Rendong had a cold sweat on her back and an uncontrollable sense of fear in her heart.

No. calm down. clam down.

He probably hasn't recognized me yet, otherwise he won't ask to go with me easily.

Fortunately everyone is blind, he can't see me...but he must remember my voice, I must not speak for him to recognize!

Xu Rendong bit her lip and was about to order Lian Qiao to refuse, but Lian Qiao said, "Okay."

Xu Rendong was taken aback. Why is Lian Qiao talking to himself like this all of a sudden?

Why don't you ask him what he means? !

Lian Qiao added: "There are many people on the road, chat and relieve boredom, I guess I will not be so afraid."

After hearing this, Xu Rendong suddenly understood.

The gentleman appeared silently beside them, and if they hadn't spoken out, they wouldn't even have noticed that there was a third person around. If a gentleman wants to accompany him, he can stalk undetected even if they disagree.

Darkness is bad for everyone. Instead of leaving a scourge to follow in secret, it is better to promise him readily and talk to him all the way. Not only can he speak idioms, but he can also take precautions in time before he gives birth to a different heart.

In contrast, he is three years older than him, but his mind is far from his maturity. Truly a "stupid brother".

It's a pity that Xu Rendong was inconvenient to speak, and he couldn't use gestures to tell Lian Qiao the old and new hatred one by one. He could only follow Lian Qiao quietly, pretending that he didn't exist.

It is impossible not to exist, no matter how light he steps, the sound of stepping on dead leaves cannot be concealed.

The gentleman quickly asked: "There is another friend, why does he keep silent?"

Xu Rendong was silent. Lian Qiao said, "I don't want to ignore you."

Gentleman: "Why? Did I say something wrong to upset this friend? If so, I'll apologize to you first. I'm really sorry."

Lian Qiao: "It doesn't have to be. My partner has a cold personality and usually doesn't like to deal with people."

Gentleman: "So you are a couple. You sound quite young, how old are you?"

Lian Qiao said, "Twenty-four."

The gentleman asked, "Where's the little girl?"

Lian Qiao: "What little girl?"

The gentleman hesitated for a moment: "You... your partner."

Lian Qiao: "There is no little girl. He is a man, and we are gay."

Gentleman: "...sorry, I didn't know..."

Lian Qiao: "It doesn't matter, you are blind after all."

Gentleman: "…"

Xu Rendong raised the corner of his mouth silently in the dark. Although Lian Qiao doesn't know old or new hatred, he seems to have a natural hostility to gentlemen. Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between lovers.

Air flow is always in one direction. The three of them walked forward in the dark in the direction of the wind. I don't know how long they had gone, when Lian Qiao suddenly stopped.

"Do you think...the taste is getting stronger?"
