At this moment, Kou Dong felt that he had reached an unexpected peak in his life.

——He, a person who doesn’t even have a boyfriend/girlfriend in reality, only opened the first peach blossom that has not yet fully blossomed at the end of the age of twenty-three.

It was unexpectedly upgraded to the father of hundreds of children.

Q: What was your first reaction to seeing a large group of kids stumbling toward you?

Answer: run.

Kou Dong didn't even look back, and without saying a word, let go of his legs and tried to run outside the cave.

joke! This large group is not his!

And it's not human at all!

What does he stay for?

Is it just a pacifier that is not enough at all, left to be robbed by these sudden children?

He had long legs and walked quite fast, and he reached the entrance of the cave in a few seconds. However, these strange children are faster than him. They clearly have short legs like lotus roots, and there are several nests on the top, but they walk quite fast. Before Kou Dong ran out of the cave, his feet suddenly became cold, and a child hugged his feet and smiled at him with his face raised.

Kou Dong: "..."

He swallowed and tried to pull his foot out of its arms, but it was useless to move it twice - they were all powerful and completely unscientific, and they could actually pull him, an adult, to a slight stagger.

Could it be that Chengdu grew up eating gold waste?

Kou Dong felt despair from the bottom of his heart, so he had to try to reason with it: "Let go, okay?"

The child did not answer.

Its eyes are huge, and the two black eyes are foggy. If you look closely, you will find that there are no pupils that ordinary people should have—

It was pure black, and when paired with the innocent face of a child, it would even make people horrified after watching it for a long time.

Its hands also wrapped around the young man's calf and raised its head.

"Relax," Kou Dong's voice became more gentle, "Goodif you are obedient, my brother will give you candy."

It's bullshit, his pockets are empty, no sugar at all, just a pacifier with no sweetness at all. Dirty grown-ups never draft a lie.

I don't know if the child understands it, but the strength is really relaxed. Kou Dong was about to pull out his legs in a hurry, but the child's reaction was faster than his, the corners of his mouth drooped down, and he hugged him fiercely again without a word.

It can't speak either, it can only frown, open its mouth, and let out a few anxious cry.

Kou Dong: "..."

Say something nice, don't cry!

He squatted down quickly, trying to appease this one, desperately recalling the content of coaxing children he had seen in TV series, and clumsily slapped it on its back repeatedly.

But a very important thing was not filmed in the TV series.

——Crying and laughter are so contagious.

If he knew this, Old Kou's father would definitely regret that he made a child cry.

At first it was just a grin, just like some amazing virus, and it spread into two, three, five, and then a group. When hundreds of children collectively opened their mouths and howled, Kou Dong finally understood how difficult it was for the kindergarten teachers—this voice, he believed even if it was a demonic voice piercing his ears.

He knew how postpartum depression came about. The boundless sea of ​​crying, even if he wants him, he is also depressed.

Kou Dong was forced to stay in place, a bunch of children who had just landed crawled up to him holding his legs desperately, those who pulled at the corners of his clothes pulled at the corners of his clothes, those who pulled his arms pulled his arms, and he was instantly captured by them. The ocean was submerged, so he could only scramble to hug a few, grab one and drop the other, grab one and the other and pull on his cuffs. In the end, he could only put two or three in his arms with difficulty, coaxing him in a frenzy.

His footsteps stopped in the cave, and because of their pulling, he had to step back a few steps, with his back to the cave entrance.

footsteps.

It was hidden in the cries of children and was not very conspicuous. Someone with a broad axe approached slowly from the snow outside.

The cold light and the snow light melted together.

The crying of the children stopped abruptly, and their dark pupils stared out of the cave, falling into a strange silence.

Click.

Click.

"..."

In this silence, the voices outside gradually became clearer. The big feet like a boat stepped on the snow, mercilessly stepping on the soft snowflakes to wailing and creaking.

Heavy breathing.

With a huge axe in his hand, the man looked around. If he ran out just now, he would be found in such snow immediately, and there is not even a place to hide.

These kids are not trying to stop him.

- to save him.

This idea gradually became clear in Kou Dong's mind. He hugged the two children in his arms and silently stepped back——

The snow was empty and there was no sign of anyone.

The tip of the axe dragged on the ground for a long time, slowly approaching the cave. Not far away, those eyes roamed towards the entrance of the cave, as if they had found something, and came towards him again.

are footprints.

Kou Dong's hand touched the bow and arrow in the luggage compartment and held it tightly in his hand. Without Ye Yanzhi, he didn't know whether the arrow could actually hit; they repaired the arrow with the remaining points of the reward before entering the dungeon, but the success rate was only 40%.

He listened nervously to the voice and tried to curl up in the darkness behind the tree.

near.

The axe had been lifted, rusted and mottled like unwiped, brown blood on it.

Kou Dong could see his smirk clearly, his arms raised high and strong. One of them is in front of the tree and the other is behind the tree. The shadow cast by the dense branches and leaves somewhat covered it, and Kou Dong was trapped in the shadow of the tree.

Only one probe remains.

As long as the man with the axe sticks his head out from the side, he will find him—

The child's small hands suddenly pressed him down hard, first one, then countless others-these hands pressed hard on the top of his head, with ten percent of their strength. Kou Dong was like a bamboo shoot, his feet gradually sank into the hard ground, his limbs were stiff, and he couldn't move for a moment, only to find that the things in front of him quickly became shorter, as if they were touching the ground.

At the same time, the figures of the children beside them also shrank down quickly, turning into fruits with facial features again. They swayed slightly on the ground, and bumped the fruit in the middle towards the rear without a trace.

"Hide it up!"

Kou Dong heard a thin voice, a childish voice.

The fruit seemed to be speaking to him.

He seemed to understand.

...

What is he?

"Hide it up..."

A thin voice urged him.

"He's coming!"

"He wants to see you!"

A head with black hair smiled strangely, leaning over, the corners of the bright red mouth raised upwards.

The figure of the man appeared above them.

The smell was very strong, but it was difficult for people to describe what it was; it made Kou Dong inexplicably think of those old people who were already unable to move.

They were lying on the bed, unable to take care of themselves, only half-opened their eyes and waited to die, this is how they smelled.

- The smell of being surrounded by death.

He guessed that he should have also turned into a fruit now, and he could smell it, which is incredible in itself.

The man who carried the axe didn't leave. He lowered his head and stared at the fruits lying all over the floor. He suddenly dropped the axe and chopped it down.

Kou Dong didn't even have time to dodge, and the fruit in front of him took the blow for him. They are safe and sound, but the facial features on the surface are wrinkled, obviously not without pain.

The slash was useless this time.

The man repeatedly hacked several times, smashing the ground into several pits.

However, these people were still motionless, his attack was in vain, he could only let out a heavy breathing like a trapped beast, and paced heavily in front of him. After a while, he lowered his body and pinched the fruits one by one.

The fruits trembled in his hands, struggling desperately, and he was helpless for a while. Seeing them trembling, Kou Dong vaguely realized that he couldn't be pulled out of the ground.

He should not be able to withstand such an attack.

He didn't dare move on the ground at will, for fear of attracting attention. But the man's hand had already squeezed many fruits one by one, and finally reached out to him, pulling him up with force——

The cry of the child suddenly became louder again. The voice was so loud that the man with the axe could not help frowning. At the same time, another fruit suddenly jumped up and pressed heavily on his feet.

The man curled up in pain, let go of his hand, and turned to grab these fruits that were all over the place.

"Run!"

A childish voice urged Kou Dong.

"Run!"

Kou Dong was caught in the fruit that was running around, and had no hands or feet, so he could only rely on the strength of his waist to lift himself up and jump forward with difficulty. He staggered and staggered, almost stabbing his head in the soil.

He avoided the man's outstretched palm and the falling axe, failed to stand firm several times, and hit him against the fruit beside him.

Thanks to their help, Kou Dong was not caught until the end. Suddenly there was a thunderclap outside, and the scene in front of him quickly split apart, leaving only those fruits, which also pulled out their bodies, turned into children again, and stretched out their hands to try to hug him.

It's just a moment. In front of Kou Dong's eyes, there was an extra piece of talisman paper. The handwriting on it was quite immature and crooked, and it looked like a garbled code drawn by a child accidentally.

A few lines of words are written in cinnabar on the back.

"Look straight at him;

A little fire, hidden in hand.

The yellow talisman burns out in a blink of an eye,

One becomes nine, nine becomes one—

He will carry your order! "

Kou Dong understood that this was a symbol for the exchange order.

He stretched out his recovered limbs, stuffed it into his clothes, and strode out of the cracked scene. After he walked out, the other figures appeared in front of him, and they appeared at the same time as Kou Dong.

Song Hong gasped for breath, one hand was still touching the back of his head, and he looked a little flustered.

A Xue also looked ugly. After coming out, she leaned against the wall to rest. It took a long time to use her eyes to smash Yin Qi, who was rushing to the corner.

"Is this vomiting?"

Yin Qi didn't turn his head back and vomited in the corner of the wall.

Only Ye Yanzhi and Kou Dong looked normal, and after they had recovered, did they briefly talk about what they had seen and heard.

The scene for everyone is the same, so it seems that those doors are only for them to enter the mission alone, and it does not mean different.

What encountered was basically the same, a cave, a tree in the cave, and a man with an ax outside the cave.

Just encountered very different.

Song Hong has always been the most cautious. After seeing the fruits with human faces, he didn't dare to move, but was startled by the faces suddenly protruding from the cave walls, and ran out without thinking. As a result, he happened to bump into the man, and immediately opened the back of his head, and chopped his fingers off one by one as in the nursery rhyme.

"It's fine if it's just like this," Song Hong said in a low voice, "but I've always been awake..."

Kou Dong understood.

He was sober even when it turned into a pot of sticky meat. This kind of horror itself is far greater than the other, too real, for them it is a real death.

But how did the faces on the walls come from?

"It's okay if you can't see it," Song Hong couldn't help sighing, "The carvings are all human faces—but I can see it."

As soon as they came out, they grew out of the wall.

Kou Dong recalled that he also noticed that the walls were uneven, but he didn't think about it at all. Now it seems that it is a good thing.

After he finished speaking, the next one was A Xue. The little girl's experience was relatively sturdy, so she carried the knife and dealt with the man for a few laps, but she couldn't escape in the end.

other people:"……"

To be honest, since Axue finished dealing with the scumbag, his courage and fighting power have increased significantly, and he has even become a little fierce.

Can this be tough?

"But it was useless in the end," Axue said lightly, "I didn't escape, I was boiled."

Yin Qi whispered: "I was also boiled. I was boiled thoroughly..."

Song Hong added: "There are still fruits."

"Yes," Yin Qi said, "with the fruit..."

Kou Dong: "With the fruit?"

His heart twitched slightly.

It's all his baby.

Yin Qi nodded and cast an inquiring look at the others - the rest of the people also nodded, apparently suffering the same thing as him.

"Since making soup, there must be condiments." Song Hong smiled bitterly, "It's just that we seem to be the staple food."

They looked at the last two.

Ye Yanzhi said calmly, "They fought me together, but they didn't win."

With a simple sentence, the rest of the people who said it are about to sweat. Yin Qi exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes widened, and he confirmed with him, "Did you mean Guozi beat you with that person?"

Everyone else is one party, and the fruit is just a condiment - how did it change when it came to Ye Yanzhi.

Ye Yanzhi was not surprised, the NPCs on the left and right didn't like him, and regarded him as a thorn in the flesh, as a thief who tried to abduct treasures from them. He now seems to have stood on the opposite side of them.

"But how do they fight," Yin Qi struggled, "they have no hands or feet..."

Kou Dong said dryly: "It can be changed."

As a former fruit, he felt offended.

"Yes," Ye Yanzhi said, "I can become a child."

When speaking, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, obviously not a pleasant memory. He turned his head to look at Kou Dong, and said suddenly, "I don't want children."

Kou Dong didn't hear the deep meaning of his words, he just said hesitantly: "I think it's okay..."

Ye Yanzhi: "I don't want children."

He rarely spoke twice.

Kou Dong's old father's heart rose again, looking at Ye Yanzhi's eyes as if he was looking at the boss who was angry with his parents who wanted a second child, he said kindly: "Okay, listen to you, then—then do not want."

Although children are cute, it is more important to raise them by themselves.

The three listening to them talk about their children's problems: "..."

They looked at each other, unable to get into this topic for a while. Yin Qi leaned to the side, away from the gay pair who seemed to be worried.

Kou Dong briefly talked about his own experience, and it was probably that one NPC was protecting him and fighting against the other, and everyone who heard it was dumbfounded. The old teammates are okay. I have seen Kou Dong being favored by many NPCs for a long time. I don't think it's strange; Yin Qi's eyes are about to fall out. Used to it.

"Anyway, people's hearts are biased," he concluded. "How can you expect them to be biased."

Although it's rare to say that...

They started discussing what this mission really meant. Unexpectedly, Ye Yanzhi actually said that the image of the man with the axe looked like some kind of symbol, such as death.

He usually rarely involves NPC images or games in this kind of analysis. This is the first time.

When Song Hong heard this, he felt both absurd and reasonable, and hesitantly said, "Is it the god of death? Impermanence?"

"Nonsense," Yin Qi laughed dryly, moving his legs, as if he was numb from fear, "If it's really a god of death, would it look like this? - It's too shabby."

His ability to focus is also top-notch.

Ye Yanzhi swept his face calmly and said, "I'm just guessing."

Don't mention it anymore.

Seeing that none of them mentioned the talisman paper, Kou Dong took out the talisman paper. Five people have studied its usage, and in fact it has been written quite clearly - this is a tool that can reverse the order.

Besides him, Ye Yanzhi also had one in his hand. It seems that only successful people will have it.

If it was the team next to it, there might be infighting over these two important clues that could turn things around. But the four of them have been working together for a long time, and they have a lot of trust in each other. Yin Qi doesn't seem to have such courage, so they all just read it peacefully, and are sincerely happy for Ye Yanzhi.

Anyway, if Ye Yanzhi got this, he could at least change his order backwards. They have everyone's numbers now, and it's not difficult to change to eleven.

The hard part is psychology.

Using such props can always make people feel guilty, as if using them is harmful.

Ye Yanzhi just looked at it, and then put it back into his pocket calmly, without any intention of using it.

They walked back along the long corridor to the resting place. Those who were exploring also came back one after another, with Brother Tao in the middle, waving at a few players who didn't go to the tunnel today.

The few players followed him happily, and after a while, there was a sound of thanks, and then they ran quickly towards the corridor-obviously, Brother Tao reminded them that there were clues there.

Kou Dong narrowed his eyes to see this scene, and suddenly asked Ye Yanzhi in a low voice, "Do you think he has a talisman?"

Ye Yanzhi answered without asking, "What do you think?"

"He's a veteran," Kou Dong whispered his guess, "should be familiar with routines. In such a scene, there must be something important. Besides, he should have something to save his life."

In this way, Brother Tao probably has such a piece in his hand.

Kou Dong is not a person who harbors malice, but after these few copies, he gradually understands the sinister human heart that A Xue said. As far as Brother Tao is concerned, it is obvious that he is malicious to them but he is afraid. Such people are selfish and unscrupulous.

They have to be on guard.

Ye Yanzhi: "That's right."

He agreed with Kou Dong's words.

Kou Dong: "Then who do you think he will replace?"

The safest, in fact, should be the eleventh. But Brother Tao's eyes wandered, obviously hesitating.

Kou Dong could also guess what he was worried about. He was afraid that after he had used the talisman paper for number 11, any of the five of them would also use the talisman paper and exchange it with him. That way, his order might become more advanced.

Why don't you switch to number 12.

No. 12 was hidden among these five people, and has not been discovered until now, indicating that he was protected by others. The change of order will not be notified. If he changed it silently, those people would still think that No. 12 was one of the five people, and these five people would also think the same.

In this way, he is also protected and can live to the end.

These two choices made Tao Ge a little hesitant, and finally chose to give up temporarily.

A veteran will choose to hide behind the scene at this time, and will not make a choice so quickly. It won't be him who will die in the past few days, his order is not so fast.

Unless he has already determined who Twelfth is.

Otherwise, he would not have made the replacement so quickly.

Kou Dong: "He still wants to be the last."

This is actually human nature, but the fact that Kou Dong and Ye Yan do not change is due to some scruples - this is no different from changing lives.

But Ye Yanzhi was No. 2, and Kou Dong struggled in his heart, but suddenly his heart lit up and said, "How about..."

"No," Ye Yanzhi said lightly, "I won't exchange with you."

His words blocked Kou Dong's way.

Kou Dong is still trying: "I can't die."

At most, this dungeon will think about possessing him, in other words, it is greedy for his body. As for killing him? That's reluctant.

This sequence can come to an end when it reaches him.

Ye Yanzhi: "No. If you change it, I will change it back."

He was obviously serious, and Kou Dong could only sigh.

"……All right."

"Don't use ours first," Ye Yanzhi said, looking at Brother Tao, "use his first."

Kou Dong: "...?"

Kou Dong reacted and was still a little excited, "You mean..."

He couldn't help but gear up.

Has it come to him?

Is it time for him to play the show?

Ye Yanzhi nodded, "Yes."

His expression was still calm, he bowed his head to the young man's ear, and his demeanor was intimate and tender, as if he was not talking about life and death matters at all, but was talking about sweet love.

"It's best if he doesn't do it."

"If he wants to change—"

A cold glow flashed in his eyes.

"That would be purely self-defeating."

The author has something to say:

Kou Dong: Today is also a day that NPCs dote on, smile.
