Chapter 813: Sorrowful Snake
When Qi Xia heard Qin Dingdong's question, he just remained silent.
"Isn't this scary?" Qin Dingdong shuddered slightly, "The friends around me are not my friends, and my parents may not be my parents. I will live a life I thought was normal in a completely unfamiliar place. Life, it was even possible for me to forget everything and become intimate with those people... It was so creepy, who were those people? Where were my real friends and family at that time? "
"I said it before." Qi Xia reiterated, "It's possible that your memory has not been tampered with, but your personality has been tampered with."
"But I don't believe it!" Qin Dingdong retorted, "Classmate Qi, I will believe everything you said before, but not this time... because I am also a liar. Your expression betrays you. You are obviously here. Deceive yourself! Even you are not sure of the answer to this matter..."
"Qin Dingdong." Qi Xia looked at her coldly, "As a liar, if you don't even lie to yourself, who can you deceive?"
"you……"
When Chen Junnan saw that the two were about to quarrel, he quickly stepped forward and stood between them: "Sister Dong..."
Only then did he understand why Qin Dingdong had always been very concerned about her life being changed, because she wholeheartedly wanted to return to reality and live a normal life.
Yes, she is only in her twenties, but she has been here for decades. The best years of her life have been dedicated to the "Land of Ending". Why can't she return to her own life?
"Calm down, Sister Dong." Chen Junnan said softly, "Brothers, let's think of a solution together and try our best to focus on one place."
Qin Dingdong looked at Chen Junnan standing in front of him, gradually calmed down his emotions, then stretched out his hand to gently push him away, and continued to say to Qi Xia: "Classmate Qi, I want to go out. I've had enough of this place. I have to find my right life and get back there exactly."
"Don't be stupid..." Qi Xia replied, "Qin Dingdong, no one has been able to go out in seventy years, how do you know you can succeed?"
"Because I am more awake than anyone else." Qin Dingdong said resolutely, "Not just seventy years, I can even wait for seven hundred years if necessary. As long as you give me enough time, even if I am not as good as you and Chu Tianqiu is smart and confident to escape from here. "
"I hope you will always be so confident." Qi Xia said, "I also hope you will never be crazy."
"Then sister also lends you good words." Qin Dingdong replied, "If you find that when you are able to liberate this place, you find that I have not confirmed which period of my life is my real life, please keep me here forever."
"Are you sure?" Qi Xia asked.
"Sure." Qin Dingdong nodded, "Sister's ideas have always been so wild and unconstrained. I think as long as I stay here, my timeline will stop forever, and my important friends and family will not disappear. You won’t be trapped in a lifetime of confusion because of this.”
Qi Xia stopped talking, just nodded solemnly to Qin Dingdong, and then walked slowly towards the direction of the snake. Seeing this, several people behind him also followed.
Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin looked at each other as they walked forward, feeling that the situation was still a bit tricky.
No matter how many times the same question appeared to Qi Xia, he would always give the same response.
He refused to talk to anyone about Yu Nian'an, and he absolutely refused to admit that Yu Nian'an's story was even remotely false. Even if a lot of evidence points to this, he will never let go.
But this time there is a clear difference from before - that is, Qi Xia's answer of inviting the three people in front of him to "guard" this "Yu Nianan" actually sounds like asking for help.
He gave a piece of trust to the three of them, but Chen Junnan had a very ominous premonition in his heart - Qi Xia seemed to be wavering.
Although Chen Junnan didn't know what would happen if Qi Xia wavered, but being able to make him make such a request for help must have very serious consequences. Would Yu Nian'an's existence directly affect his layout?
Chen Junnan looked at Qi Xia's slightly lonely figure and sighed heavily. Now Qi Xia is like a candle flickering in a heavy rain. He can no longer believe 100% that "Yu Nian'an" must exist based on his own psychological suggestion. He needs constant reminders from others to stay true to his true self.
"But who is Yu Nian'an..." Chen Junnan looked at Qi Xia's back not far away and muttered to himself, "Why does it have to be this person?"
If Yu Nian'an really does not exist, what did Qi Xia rely on to create a completely non-existent person? If you really want to find someone to care about, there are so many people in "The End", why not find a real "participant"?
The four of them walked on the street in silence for about two hours before they almost saw the ground snake's game ground.
The building was obviously a store, but at first glance you couldn't tell what kind of goods it sold.
There are glass walls on both sides of the wall, and rows of wooden frames are reflected in the walls, but the wooden frames are all empty.
Qi Xia walked closer and didn't find "Ground Snake", so he looked up at the store's sign. On the very mottled and rusty door, the word "bookstore" could be vaguely seen.
These two words also made Qi Xia frown slightly——
"The bookstore..." He looked at the empty shelves in the store, "Where are the books?"
In just a few seconds, Qiao Jiajin and Chen Junnan also arrived.
"Old Qi..." Chen Junnan called, "Is this the place?"
Qi Xia took out a map from his pocket and lowered his head to confirm: "That's right."
"Why is there no one?" Qiao Jiajin also asked, "Is the game going on?"
"It's possible."
Qi Xia nodded and looked at the door of the store. It was locked from the inside. It seemed that onlookers were not allowed to watch the game while it was going on.
Before the four people could come up with a countermeasure, a figure slowly began to emerge from behind a wall inside the door. About three or four "participants" walked out of the invisible place in the house. Everyone lowered their heads, looked lonely, and slowly came to the door.
Behind the crowd followed a white-skinned snakehead man, holding a rope in his hand, and looked a little sad.
"Oh, it's still a white snake." Chen Junnan said, "Is this thing not poisonous?"
Qi Xia didn't answer. He stared at the participants in the house and came to the door to open the store door, and then slowly walked out.
Qi Xia stared at them and felt curious. These people had tears on their faces.
"This...?" Qiao Jiajin was slightly stunned, "Why are these people crying?"
The "participants" wiped their tears and turned back to say goodbye to the Earth Snake reluctantly. Some even turned back to hold the Earth Snake's hand, muttering something like "You must be well".
The Earth Snake calmed everyone with an expressionless face, saying only that he "got it".
The situation in front of them made Qi Xia and the other four look puzzled.
