His mind suddenly became clear. The two people beside him hadn't kept up with his speed of thinking, and frowned: "...what?"

Kou Dong took a slight breath.

"I'm the little embolus."

This sentence was spoken word by word, and it was so clear that Song Hong couldn't think that he had heard it wrong.

He couldn't believe it.

"But that doesn't mean—"

"Yes," Kou Dong said calmly, "it has been tricking us from beginning to end."

The dog forced the system!

"Now that I think about it, it was a game from the beginning," Kou Dong pointed to Song Hong, "It only told you the task, within seven days, take Xiao Shuanzi out."

"It's the sixth day now."

"But what if from the beginning, there are certain players who will play the role of Xiaoshuo? What if we don't need to find any NPCs at all?"

From the beginning to the end, the teenager never admitted the identity of Xiao Shuanzi.

He should have thought of it long ago. Xiao Shuanzi's name sounds very rustic, but it doesn't quite match the NPC's behavior. It's a shame he thought it was the system that wanted to neutralize the murderous aura of his NPCs that sounded cute, but it turned out to be used on himself... Damn!

Song Hong: "Didn't they say it's in a circus?"

"Then it depends on what's in the circus." Kou Dong's thoughts were all sorted out, and he replied, "The original small embolism may indeed be buried here."

But he will never be there with the kidnapper, otherwise, the young man will still have the handle in the kidnapper's hand. Now that the circus members can start, it means that the only obstacle is still broken.

The little embolus didn't stand in his way, only possible within the circus's own boundaries.

When the NPC locked up in the house described Xiao Shuan to them, it wasn't him, but the person who would be inseparable from him when they mentioned him.

Throughout the dungeon, the system played a lot of language games with them, leading them to think in the wrong direction.

In fact, there is only one person who really needs to escape.

It's him.

Kou Dong felt the bad taste from the system. It deliberately set up the last blocked room, making Kou Dong mistakenly think that this room is related to Xiaoshuozi. But in fact, this is a Pandora's box, from which Kou Dong personally released the demons that coveted him.

It was rare for Song Hong to start to feel numb in his scalp. He swallowed, "So, our mission should be to bring you out of Taoyuan Town within seven days?"

Kou Dong nodded.

Song Hong: "..."

Song Hong silently cast his gaze on the tightly closed wooden door, and rolled his throat again.

"So," he said with difficulty, "we are now..."

Kou Dong nodded sadly.

"We're being locked up."

"..."

"..."

The three of them were silent for a while, and they all felt an uncontrollable heartache for this fact.

It was easy to get out, so why did they lock themselves in instead?

Kou Dong lowered his head: "...my fault."

Speaking of which, he was the one who led the way and released the final boss without stopping...

Now, he can also taste the taste of shooting himself in the foot.

Thief hurts.

"But you can't hit me," Kou Dong looked at the two of them and quickly added, "I'm expensive now, so I can't beat me!"

If he was crippled, how could he be rescued?

Kou Dong was very conscious of the key figures, and shrank back, trying to avoid the teammates who were trapped.

Song Hong's face was cloudy and uncertain, and there seemed to be a vague urge to hit him. Ye Yanzhi stood up from Kou Dong's shoulder vigilantly, staring at him without blinking, but Song Hong finally exhaled and shook his head.

"Forget it," he said sadly, "it's all about them..."

One match one pit!

Kou Dong nodded again and again, clearly agreeing with this.

The big-headed doll was still guarding the door, and when he heard the movement inside, he put his thin hand on the door and knocked loudly. The three inside lowered their voices and discussed what to do next.

Now, the goal is clear, they just need to take Kou Dong out.

But the question is, how to take people out under the nose of NPC?

Several people began to worry, but did not dare to rush through the door. After looking at each other, Song Hong said solemnly, "Search this room first to see if there is anything left."

They started rummaging.

This room is huge, and it has all the internal organs in it, and there are even tubs and buckets next to it. Living here, you don't need to take a step out of the door.

He was the first to sit on the big four-corner bed, and reached out to rummage among the soft bedding. touched it, but didn't find anything, but found a thin gold chain.

Pure gold, long and faintly glowing. The end is decorated with a white jade ring, but the material is a bit strange, it looks like it is made of sand. It was covered with a layer of soft fluff, and when Kou Dong touched it, his fingers would sink in, like fine rabbit fur.

He tried to tug, but it didn't move—the gold chain was attached to the bed.

Kou Dong was a little confused.

As far as he knew, this was the bed prepared for him by the NPC.

Where did the chain come from on that bed?

He stared and thought for a while, suddenly swallowed, and slowly gestured the jade ring to his hand. Bai Yuhuan is quite small, and at first glance, it can be seen that it is not the size of an adult, but it is just enough to fit on his wrist.

Kou Dong: "..."

isn't it?

Is it...

perhaps……

Could it be...

Was the NPC's original plan to lock him up here? !

Seriously, if Kou Dong's body is not too young now, and the NPC looks like an immature, he would have suspected that the boy was a pervert.

After being abducted and sold, you want to lock people up, what logic is this?

He was stunned when he heard the quiet voice of the little girl: "I found it."

She opened a small secret compartment from under the table, and inside was a thin booklet. When she opened it, there were many names written on it.

Most of them are nicknames, what Erzi, Heizi, Chunchun... I wrote most of the books. Followed by a number, like their age.

Looking back, there is only a short line of words.

"The twelfth lunar month was abducted from Sanlizhuang, and the two sons and Sanya led it. It was useless, used for harvesting and cutting, and died on the twenty-seventh day."

"Abducted from Shanhe Village on March 7, Heizi and Ningning led him to beg."

"Abducted from Shanhe Village on April 23rd..."

Song Hong frowned, noticing the unusual wording here, "What is citing?"

He pointed to the two words, "This is followed by the child's name, right? - What does this mean, he was brought up by two children?"

The little girl said calmly: "This means that they were all led out by the children here."

This statement makes my heart chill. Kou Dong frowned, staring at the page.

"You mean..."

"Think about it," Axue said quietly, "they kidnapped so many children, if they approached by their own looks, how low would the probability be?"

Any kidnapper with blood on his hands will always show a vicious look on his face, and he can't hide it at all. Although there are irresponsible parents in this world, there are also many more who regard their children as their lives, teach them since childhood, and take care of them personally.

Song Hong's palms became cold. He clenched his fists and whispered, "So, he let these kids go."

How easy it is.

Children who seem innocent and do not understand the world, just need to change their clothes and hold one or two playthings in their hands, and they can easily lead unsuspecting other children away. At this time, it was still a rural society, and it was common for children in the village to go from house to house and play in groups.

Kidnappers don't need to spend much effort, two candies, throwing an introduction, they can all be attracted to the bait. The newcomer can still be an introduction, and continue to introduce other children... In this way, it can naturally ensure that he will not worry about food and clothing.

Song Hong gritted his teeth, and his voice became harsh: "Beast!"

"It should be more than that." The little girl said lightly, "They—should do it voluntarily."

Song Hong was stunned: "How come?"

He was a little speechless, and after a while he muttered: "They are still young... How could they be willing to do such a thing?"

"What if you can make them stop smoking wooden people?"

A Xue's white fingers pointed to the name of one of the introductions, and it was written on it that it was for begging. Looking at the others, they are all for begging, and they did not enter the circus.

"What if this is a kind of forgiveness for them? For example, the more people who are kidnapped, the better the food will be, and the more they will be safe-"

The room fell silent for a while, and everyone remembered the first day they came.

The least begging child was pushed out that day, and the rest just watched indifferently.

They make small gestures and rejoice at the suffering of others. People's selfishness and indifference seem to be manifested in this group of children. When they are uncovered, all they see are ugly.

Kou Dong somewhat understood the meaning of the boy's words.

"Under the human skin, who said they were all human?"

What kind of mood did he have when he said this?

After a long while, the little girl said, "Let's look down."

Kou Dong turned down page by page, and when he turned to the middle, he finally saw the three words Xiaoshuanzi.

Following Xiao Shuanzi, the kid who was kidnapped in the same village as him was called Ye Yan. Twelve years old.

Kou Dong's hand covered the half of the paper. There was a buzzing sound in his head, and after a long time, he gently moved his hand away.

Those two lines of black words finally broke into their eyes.

"The twelfth month of the twelfth month, he was kidnapped from Yejia Village, and Yingzi and Erzi led him. At first he was a beggar, but he wanted to escape, so he put a stick and burned him after he died."

"On the twelfth month of the 12th month, he was kidnapped from Yejia Village and came with another son on his own. He summoned more than 20 sons to escape, but he was blocked halfway after leaking. In order to alert others, he slapped his companion with a stick and chopped him off. Take your legs off and inflict capital punishment."

After this, there was another line of blood-red small characters: "This son was very dangerous after his death, and his bones were specially selected to draw a spell to secure it."

Just a few lines of words made Kou Dong tremble from top to bottom.

It was as if someone had slapped him hard on his heavenly cover, and his vision was erratic, and he didn't know where he was in a trance.

The wind and rain are turning, the cock is not crowing—

On that day, it snowed heavily in Yejia Village.

He saw two children who were almost frozen in front of the door.

Both of their faces were flushed with cold, and they forced a slight smile at him. The older boy took his hand and asked him, "Is there any hot water in the house? Could you give me a bowl?"

At the end, I added another sentence, "Don't tell the adults."

The people in the village are simple and honest. He didn't even think about it. He poured half a bowl of boiling water into the thick porcelain bowl and carefully held it out. At the age of four, he could already help with some simple chores at home. He brought the bowl to them and whispered, "Drink slowly."

After the two finished drinking water, they asked him the way out of the village.

"This snow is too heavy to see the path..."

He asked, "Which family are you from?"

The tall boy pointed to him and said vaguely: "We are from the next village, we came here for fun, but I didn't expect to be able to get out..."

In Xiaoshuanzi's house, there is only one grandma who depends on each other. Because of her old age, she is still asleep. When he went out, he hesitated, hesitating whether to call brother Ye Yan next door - in this village, brother Ye Yan loved him more than his grandmother, and accompanied him wherever he went. He had an apple face, was delicate, and looked like a girl, so Ye Yan called him nan, very close.

But Ye Yan helped go down to the ground yesterday, looking very tired.

So he didn't shout. But at a distance of 100 meters, he just took people out.

There was a carriage parked at the gate of the village, which he had never seen before. On the contrary, the tall boy looked at Xinxi and said that it was the family who came to him.

Then he said, "I must thank you, and let my parents get you a candy!"

Xiao Shuan shook his head and said that he wanted to go back, so he turned his head and walked back. But the boy's father got out of the carriage. He was tall and fierce. He covered his mouth all of a sudden, and immediately stuffed him into the carriage. It was snowing heavily that day, and there was a vast expanse of white outside, and there was no half-person figure. He kicked his legs desperately and looked around eagerly, but he could only see snowflakes like rubbing cotton and fluff, falling one after another.

The man driving the car laughed and said that it was a good snow, "We'll be gone later, no one will know!"

Rut marks, footprints, can be covered by this heavy snow.

He thought so too, knowing that he was afraid that he had met a bad guy, so he could only hide in the car and try not to say a word. But after a while, someone behind caught up with the difficult carriage and slapped the carriage desperately with his hands.

"Stop, stop!"

When the curtain was lifted, he saw a familiar face.

Ye Yan appeared in front of him.

He chased after him as if he had just discovered it. At this time, the weather was freezing cold, and the villagers were all asleep, and they didn't have time to call anyone. In front of this group of adults, the young man didn't have the strength to resist. He just said something to the kidnappers. Immediately, he opened his legs and sat in.

"Shh," he whispered, "I'll accompany you."

He took the man into his arms. There was still snow outside, only his chest exuded a warm warmth.

"—I'll accompany you."

Kou Dong's forehead was hot, as if he was having a high fever. In a daze, he seemed to hear Song Hong's voice talking to him.

He wanted people to speak slowly, because he couldn't hear a word at the moment. When he tried desperately to open his eyes, there was neither Song Hong nor A Xue in front of him. Only the young man hugged him and sat on the big four-corner bed, patting him on the back.

It's still a weird circus here. Ye Yan's legs were empty, with only two dangling trousers. The trousers were now splattered with bits of blood, and they exuded a sweet smell.

There was also a drop of dried blood on his face, sticking to his cold and white skin like a dark red mole.

Ye Yan hugged Kou Dong, but his expression was extremely gentle.

"Nah, be good."

Kou Dong heard the sound of clattering, and looked down at his wrist, only to realize that it was the golden chain.

The jade ring was put on his hand. When he looked again, Kou Dong realized what it was.

At that time, the ring made of Xiaoshuozi's ashes was used by the teenager to lock him in the house.

No wonder he has such memories.

"Nah, nah—"

Ye Yan repeated it again, hugging him tighter.

"Brother this time, I will definitely protect you."
