106 Me and “I”

◎How do you like to die?◎

There was no electricity supply in the old world, and the power stored in the laptop was almost exhausted. Qi Qiuxue formatted the computer before shutting it down, leaned against the wall with her head tilted back and closed her eyes to rest.

After the faint light of the computer went out, the room suddenly became dark. The sound of soft conversation could be heard outside. Perhaps knowing that she was busy, both players and NPCs gathered outside and did not come to disturb her.

Until there is no more light coming through the crack in the door—

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a very soft knock on the door.

"Enter."

"Axue." Qingqing walked into the room with some chicken and bread. Liu Ge had secretly given them a lot of food, with a wide variety, enough to last them for several days. "Sorry to bother you."

"Let's have something to eat." Relying on her memory, she groped for a candlestick placed nearby, lowered her eyes, and lit it. The candlelight quickly dispelled the darkness around her. She slowly walked forward in the candlelight until she reached Qi Qiuxue's side. "Tonight's dinner is very sumptuous."

"Okay." Perhaps it had been too long since she had eaten a decent meal, but when she suddenly smelled the aroma of chicken, Qi Qiuxue really felt a little hungry.

"Then I'll help you open the package~" Qingqing smiled and sat beside her. She tore open the bread package with her small hands and handed it to Qi Qiuxue. Then she picked up the milk beside her and carefully inserted the straw for her.

"Thank you." Qi Qiuxue raised her lips to thank her, then lowered her eyes to enjoy this hard-earned "sumptuous" dinner.

During this time, Qingqing did not leave, but stood by and watched Qi Qiuxue quietly, with her figure and the flickering candlelight reflected in her eyes.

She seemed to always like staring at herself like this, with complex emotions in her eyes that others couldn't understand. This kind of look was totally not what a seven or eight-year-old child should have.

"What are you thinking about?" Qi Qiuxue spoke the next second and asked softly.

"I'm not thinking anything." Qingqing shook her head and asked for her opinion, "Axue, can I get closer to you?"

"sure."

So Qingqing moved closer to Qi Qiuxue until she was right next to her. The two of them snuggled together in the dim candlelight, and their relationship seemed very intimate.

"Are you feeling tired lately?" Qingqing whispered, continuing to talk to her, "I believe that with Axue here, no matter how difficult the problem is, it will be properly resolved."

"If the chip disappears completely in the future and everyone regains their freedom, is there anything Axue wants to do?"

In the future.

Qi Qiuxue silently bit off the bread in her hand. After the chip disappeared, she was ready to return to reality, rest for a while, and prepare to enter the next dungeon: "Eat something good, sleep in, and then continue to play the game I haven't finished."

"Game?" Qingqing seemed a little curious. "Is it difficult?"

"There are some," Qi Qiuxue said. "You only have one life in the whole process. If you die, it will be completely over."

"Huh?" Qingqing frowned, her tone somewhat incredulous. "How could there be such a game?"

"Yes." Qi Qiuxue echoed her words, "How can there be such a game?"

"But I believe it won't be difficult for you. In my heart, Axue is the most powerful."

"You will definitely pass it successfully." Qingqing said, looking seriously into Qi Qiuxue's eyes, "You will definitely pass it."

"Yes." Qi Qiuxue met her sparkling gaze, subconsciously raised the corner of her lips and gently stroked her head, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words."

Her palm was warm, her fingertips soft. Qingqing grabbed her hand before she could withdraw it. She was a little bit stubborn and refused to let go. "It's a pity that I don't know how to play games."

"Then let Sister Aqing protect Axue for me." She said this, and slowly lowered her eyes when Qi Qiuxue was not noticing. The dim candlelight fell on her cheek, dividing it into light and dark shadows.

Obviously, the two people have completely different faces, but perhaps because their expressions are too similar, Qingqing at this moment looks very much like Li Yiqing.

Once again, Qi Qiuxue couldn't understand what Qingqing was thinking. Only she could understand her thoughts.

About some missions engraved in life.

Whether it is me or "I", we will protect Qi Qiuxue.

-

Qi Qiuxue got some new clues from Liu Ge.

The area where the decision makers are located is tightly guarded. People of higher status are mostly suspicious and sensitive, and rarely leave that area. Even if they really need to go out for something, they will definitely be followed by many fully armed subordinates.

On the contrary, some people of lower status will not do that. They are actually no different from ordinary office workers. They work on time and rest on time. In their spare time, they will watch movies, play games, or drink.

For example, two dark-skinned men have been going to the bar where Liu Ge works to drink every night for three consecutive days, and there is a high possibility that they will appear again tonight.

They were not residents of this small town, but were brought in from outside by the decision makers. Perhaps they were hired for money, or perhaps they were controlled by the chip. Qi Qiuxue tried to verify this, and deliberately staked out near the bar in advance with Li Yiqing and Wu Shanyue.

Sure enough, after a long wait, she met the two people Liu Ge mentioned.

Compared to the new humans' bright and beautiful appearance, their attire was rather ordinary. Qi Qiuxue followed their footsteps all the way and surrounded them from the front and back when the two were about to cross an alley.

"Who?" Under the influence of alcohol, the man's body was shaking a little, but when he saw Qi Qiuxue approaching, he instinctively took out his gun.

Qi Qiuxue didn't say anything, but just walked slowly forward in the bright lights of the alley behind her, until the dazzling light covering her faded and the two men finally saw her appearance clearly.

——It was a woman I had never seen before, but judging by her clothes, she belonged to the old human race.

"What are you going to do?" There are no guns for sale in the town. The new humans can't get them, let alone the old humans. Even if the other party may have some weapons that can hurt people, in terms of speed and attack power, they can never compare to the guns in their hands.

After realizing this, one of the red-haired men suddenly became arrogant: "Stop, stand there!"

"What's going on? Are you starving and want to go out and rob people?" Another blond man spoke up with a sinister grin on his lips. He raised his hand and pointed the black muzzle of his gun at Qi Qiuxue in front of him. "Unfortunately, you've got the wrong person. I..."

Before he could finish his words, a metal arrow suddenly shot out from behind him, and the arrowhead hit the gun in his hand with incredible precision. In the next second, the pistol was shattered into pieces by the arrow like a fragile children's toy, and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

What? !

The blond man was stunned, not understanding what was happening. He instinctively said to his companion, "Watch out behind you!"

"Bang" another gunshot was heard behind him, and a bullet hit the gun in the red-haired man's hand. Just like the previous scene, the pistol was also completely destroyed. The man couldn't hold it for a while and let it fly out.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Qi Qiuxue had already arrived in front of the two of them, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips: "Good evening."

"What are you going to do?" The words were the same as before, but it was obvious that the attitude had changed drastically. The two men looked panicked and backed away against the cold wall.

"I just want to ask you something." Qi Qiuxue said, glancing at the red-haired man's right hand. The other man was doing some small movements that he thought would not be noticed, and quietly took out a communication device to try to contact his companions.

So Qi Qiuxue quickly pulled out the bone knife and smashed the handle against his wrist. The man felt pain immediately and his entire arm went numb.

"I won't hurt you, provided you are willing to cooperate." When she spoke again, her tone sounded a little unhappy.

"Okay, okay." The man didn't dare to act rashly anymore and even used polite language, "You say..."

"Have you ever had a chip implanted in your body?" Qi Qiuxue put a knife against one of the men's neck and went straight to the point. Even though she already had the answer in her mind from some of the men's previous behaviors, Qi Qiuxue still asked directly to be on the safe side.

"No, no." The men shook their heads and told the truth, "We were hired from outside."

"What about the others?" Qi Qiuxue asked again.

"I don't know." The man shook his head.

So Qi Qiuxue pressed the blade down, bringing it close to the man's neck.

"At least none of the people I know have it!" the man had no choice but to continue, adding more details to his previous answer. "But I don't know if the men around Mr. Simon have it. People of our level rarely come into contact with them!"

"Mr. Simon?"

"Yes, Mr. Simon, he is the ruler of the New World, the highest-ranking person!"

"Really?" Qi Qiuxue nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Where is his address?"

"In the central building of the administrative district!"

"I don't understand." Qi Qiuxue was too lazy to waste words with him. She gestured to Li Yiqing beside her and threw him a pen and paper. "Draw it for me."

"You want to go to Mr. Simon's residence?!" The man's eyes widened. In his opinion, such behavior was tantamount to seeking death. "Impossible, you can't get in. You will die..."

"Stop talking so much nonsense!" Wu Shanyue imitated Qi Qiuxue's angrily and said to him, "Just draw when I tell you to."

"And you." She looked at the other blond man and handed him a piece of paper and a pen. "You come too."

"Go over there!" In order to prevent the two from whispering to each other and secretly playing any tricks, Wu Shanyue deliberately separated the two. So after waiting for a while, Qi Qiuxue got two extremely ugly route maps.

The two men squatted on the ground, staring at her fearfully as they examined her.

After a few seconds, Qi Qiuxue raised her lips and smiled.

The men breathed a sigh of relief and smiled ingratiatingly: "Are you satisfied? Can we get divorced now..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qi Qiuxue.

She spread the two maps out in front of the man, and what appeared on them were two completely different routes.

"Tell me." When she spoke again, there was still a smile in Qi Qiuxue's voice, but that smile sounded a little creepy.

"Knife, arrow, gun...how do you like to die?"
