41. Game Termination(3/3)
What he wanted to say was interrupted by the program team, and Zhou Ziheng simply stopped talking. This silence was considered by Xia Xiqing to doubt the truth of his answer.
"You go out first." Xia Xiqing stretched and walked to the bed and lay down.
"Um."
After a few seconds, the signal was interrupted.
Xia Xiqing looked at the ceiling and counted the time quietly. One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Suddenly, everything in his vision turned into infinite darkness, with no starting point and no end point. The edgeless darkness was like a mountain range that collapsed in an instant, pressing heavily on him, making him breathless.
The announcement from the program team rang.
"Players Shang Sirui, Zhou Ziheng, and Ruan Xiao successfully escaped from the room. Player Xia Xiqing was trapped in space-time No. 3, lost his qualification to escape, the room was locked, waiting for other players to finally pass the level."
The discomfort reaction comes too quickly and the brain begins to feel dizzy.
Those desperate memories are waiting for an opportunity to enter the darkness. When I was locked in the darkness, my soft and timid heart was swallowed up little by little by little by fear.
No one cares whether he is afraid.
When they knew their weaknesses in fear of black, they used this as a weapon to force him to tame him.
Every second in the darkness was particularly hard, and there was an infrared camera shooting. Xia Xiqing could only endure the fear as much as possible, not go, gritted his teeth until a fine cold sweat oozed out of the forehead.
Even though I knew this would happen, I still wanted to gamble.
There is no timer in the room with power off. Since meeting Zhou Ziheng, every time he is in the dark, he will lend a helping hand to himself. Although Xia Xiqing knew that he should not rely on others, he still couldn't help but tentatively.
Xia Xiqing did not realize that at this moment, he had undergone subtle changes when he was in darkness in the past. In addition to the fear that could not be concealed, there was a trace of expectation. The black that swallowed everything was more like a bait at this moment, seducing him and the person outside the door.
But no matter what, this ruthless bait still covered his mouth and nose, gradually taking away his breath.
The expectation value has been decreasing again and again, and has been eroded by the darkness.
In the illusion of no light, Xia Xiqing fell into the abyss only one step away.
"Player Xia Xiqing, dies."
"Player Xia Xiqing, dies."
The long-awaited death notice finally appeared. Xia Xiqing let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile weakly and proudly in the darkness.
The door opened with a click, and the light split the dark pupa like a sharp blade.
"Player Xia Xiqing is asked to leave the room and enter the exit seat and wait for the exit."
Xia Xiqing restrained his violently undulating chest and walked slowly to the door step by step. Without surprise, he saw Zhou Ziheng standing outside the door and his frowning brows.
He actually wanted to speak, but he had already been killed and had lost his right to speak. Sweat from his forehead to his jawline, and he looked as haggard as if he was seriously ill. He looked pale and curled the corner of his mouth towards Zhou Ziheng, smiled, and then walked around him, looking at Shang Sirui and Ruan Xiao behind Zhou Ziheng last year.
"It's really exactly the same as what you said..." Shang Sirui couldn't figure it out.
Seeing the doubts on their faces, Xia Xiqing could not explain more, so he turned his head with a funny look and signaled that they should not forget what they had said. Then he walked to the circular area with a familiar look that said "Exit the seat".
It was the three countdown of the program team again, the floor in the circular area opened, and Xia Xiqing fell down.
Zhou Ziheng, who was still facing the dark room, finally turned around. He licked the corner of his mouth, wrapped his arms around his chest and leaned against the wall, and looked at Ruan Xiao and Shang Sirui.
The ending couldn't be clearer.
"When I vote out, you can get half of the evidence in my hands." His sharp eyes made his already sharp face more aggressive.
"Are you really a killer?" Ruan Xiao couldn't help asking.
"That's right, the male protagonist I represent did save the heroine in Time and Space 3, which is Ruan Xiao. In addition, I also indirectly killed Shang Sirui. However, none of these are enough to prove that I am a killer." He curled the corner of his mouth and smiled like a real murderer. "After I got what I thought was a happy ending, I killed the male protagonist, who originally existed in Time and Space 3, that is, Xia Xiqing."
"Because there cannot be two me in the same time and space."
He continued, "Originally, my plan was going well, to deceive your trust, escape from my room, get the clues of the other half, and kill the holder of the other half of the rope before opening the door. It was almost a sure win." At this point, he smiled mockingly and lowered his head.
It was almost a sure win. But it was not calculated that Xia Xiqing, who was subjected to so many restrictions, still saw through everything in an instant. He did not calculate that his desire for victory or defeat was so strong that he would rather use himself as a condition of exchange than to prevent him from becoming a winner.
Shang Sirui, who didn't know that Xia Xiqing was suffering from dark phobia, couldn't figure it out at all. Zhou Ziheng had already guessed Xia Xiqing's plan, so why did he jump into the fire pit?
The second round of voting began, without any surprises. Ruan Xiao and Shang Sirui, who knew the identity of killer, went out with Zhou Ziheng, who was only one step away from winning, and took away the last clue in his hand.
"I lost this game, it has nothing to do with my ability." Zhou Ziheng willingly walked to the exit seat.
The winner of the escape room in the last issue became the killer in this issue. He thought he could continue to win the championship, but he was still rebelled by Xia Xiqing. Shang Sirui still hasn't figured out why Xia Xiqing said so confidently.
"After Zhou Ziheng comes out, I will be killed within ten minutes. If everything is as I said, you will win or lose in the second round."
Why did Zhou Ziheng have to kill Xia Xiqing? If he didn't kill, Xia Xiqing would be locked in the room, which would not pose any threat to him at all. Why did he risk his identity and attack someone who would no longer have any chance of escaping?
These two people are so strange.
Zhou Ziheng, who fell to the basement, did not expect that the first person he met was Xia Xiqing. Whether he won the previous episode or he failed this episode, the first person he met after he came out was always Xia Xiqing.
However, this person in the previous episode chose to self-destruct in order to get him out, but this episode forced him to appear in a self-harm manner.
Xia Xiqing's expression had not recovered yet, especially her white lips. This time he did not rush up to hug Zhou Ziheng, but just stood less than a meter away and looked at him and smiled, like a child who had succeeded in a prank.
Zhou Ziheng took off the wheat from his body with a gloomy face, "What are you laughing at?"
Xia Xiqing, who was raped by him, stepped forward to him, tilted his head, "I laughed at you for being dead with me."
"If you do this again in the future, I won't care about you." Zhou Ziheng lowered his eyes and did not look at the smile on Xia Xiqing's face. Xia Xiqing could not imagine how worried he was, so he repeatedly asked him to switch time and space, but unexpectedly it became the handle for Xia Xiqing to threaten him.
Zhou Ziheng doesn't like this way of killing 800 enemies by himself, and he doesn't like it very much.
Seeing Zhou Ziheng being unhappy, Xia Xiqing, who had both hands in his pockets, gently kicked Zhou Ziheng's calf with his feet, "How old is he? Is he so unhappy after losing a game?"
Passing by several staff members who were carrying props underground, Zhou Ziheng nodded and greeted them, and then bypassed Xia Xiqing and left the underground passage. "It doesn't matter whether you lose or not, it's because you use me."
It's because you don't care about yourself.
Xia Xiqing turned around, looked at Zhou Ziheng's back, and chased after two steps, "Is this a use? I just..."
"Don't refuse to admit it."
Xia Xiqing paused, "Okay, even if I use it." He had a rather indifferent smile on his face, "You can't jump into the fire pit."
After saying this, he felt a little regretful. In fact, he was more tempted than using it, but even Xia Xiqing himself was reluctant to admit this.
Zhou Ziheng stopped, turned around, and walked towards him quickly. I wonder if he had been in the dark for too long, and his mind was hallucinated. Xia Xiqing felt like a fire was burning on Zhou Ziheng's body.
He grabbed his collar, his voice suppressing his anger.
"I'm willing to be threatened by you, but this doesn't mean you can hurt yourself at will."
The heart seemed to be hit by a fire, burning hot and violently in its beating.
The collar was loosened, and Xia Xiqing stood there blankly, as if he had been swallowed by Zhou Ziheng's powerful deterrence. He had always been so clever and could not resist.
Seeing Xia Xiqing stunned like this, Zhou Ziheng, who was still furious just now, sighed, glanced at the surroundings where there were not many people, and used his superb acting skills to act like he was playing with his friends.
He hugged Xia Xiqing, and his hearts were beating wildly in his chest, which were tightly pressing against each other.
In his ears was his soft voice, carrying a helpless sigh that was lighter than the night wind.
