Chapter 144 Are We Friends? certainly.

The most crucial part of the plot came to a successful conclusion.

Shi Xu exhaled, feeling unprecedented relaxation. His tense nerves of the past few days finally relaxed. He looked at the temperature that was rising straight to a level beyond his expectations, and felt cheerful.

"No wonder some actors can't get out of their roles." The young man stretched lazily, "These days of being forced into schizophrenia, I almost forgot my name."

"I haven't appeared in a long time!" A ball of light popped out from his head, using Shi Xu's hair as a nest, and nestled inside like a glowing egg.

Guangqiu's mood was also better than ever before.

The psychological quality that was forced to become strong could not be sustained at the moment of seeing the heat value, causing this great world consciousness to scream and fly around in an instant, leaving its own traces in the entire space.

"Great! With so much heat value, there won't be any problem even if the next plot point exceeds the advance!" It shook its body, "Finally, it's the plot I'm most looking forward to!"

"Ha, that should indeed be the plot you are most looking forward to."

Shi Xu raised his eyebrows and replied, "Get used to it. There will be times when the heat value will be even higher."

At this moment they have not yet left the government. The young man straightened his sleeves that were blown by the wind and looked back at the building in the east that was already far away. The standing building became tiny in the sight, and naturally it was impossible to see whether there were still a few disheveled people standing on the rooftop.

The knock shouldn’t be serious, right? Shi Xu thought idly. After all, he had no intention of adding insult to injury, and the force he used was carefully considered, so it was definitely just for the sake of hearing the sound.

Never mind. Everything will be fine anyway.

Stop thinking about the questions that pop up out of nowhere. He took out three teleportation talismans and decided to go on a super-fast long-distance journey.

"Three days have passed, and the people in the dungeon should have dispersed." Shi Xu picked up a talisman and swung it. The talisman ignited without being lit, and the indigo flame spread from the front. A familiar feeling of weightlessness came over him. "Let's go, it's time to collect our things."

That half of the soul and the key to unlocking the next plot node are still hidden underground, waiting for someone with a destiny to dig them out.

——

The land is barren.

Areas that have been eroded by fog will choose to let it grow freely. The black fog devours the originally dense trees and grass like a robber, and the originally lush forest is forcibly bald in the center, expanding in a circular shape.

The wreckage of the tent and the car were taken away by the employees, and the final result after several days of observation was zero. It looked like it was going to rain, so those who had been diligently searching for clues returned to their rooms, leaving only a number of pits and small piles of earth.

Shi Xu looked around, jumped down from the tree trunk, and walked towards the center of the area.

The soil is dry and hard to the touch, and dust sticks to the fingertips. He leaned down and gently placed his palms on the ground. Somehow, an inexplicable sense of closeness attracted him to stop.

He closed his eyes: "It's time to start, Xiaoguang."

The ball of light nestled in the young man's hair moved. The next second, it emitted an even brighter white light, floating beside him in an ethereal manner.

Tiny bits of light emerged from his hands, and the power of world consciousness seeped into the ground, looking for a force that was similar to yet opposite to Him. The abundant heat value was transformed into sufficient energy, and the warmth was transmitted through Shi Xu's body.

As time passed, the two of them remained in this position quietly, continuing to search patiently.

After the copy disappeared, the part of consciousness belonging to Qi Heng fell into the ground along with that existence. The pure white consciousness tightly entangled the pure black, binding it tightly and not allowing any struggle. In this way, it avoided the search of others who dug three feet deep into the ground, and quietly hid in the deepest part and fell into hibernation.

Although the light ball protected the fragile consciousness with layers of protective films, the explosion also brought a considerable impact to the consciousness, reducing Shi Xu's connection with it.

After a long moment, the ball of light exclaimed softly.

“Found it.”

The energy, which had been deep for who knows how long, emitted waves of joy and moved forward in one direction with joy. Shi Xu felt the vague feeling of pulling the wire and felt like a gold miner as steady as Lao Zhong.

And now he has struck gold.

Just like the stronger WiFi, the consciousness from his own body once again became attracted to the main body after losing its carrier, and it wanted to fly straight to his brain from a distance and merge the two halves of the consciousness that were forcibly separated into one. You can understand how hard it is from the stage when we finally separate.

"I feel it." Shi Xu frowned at this strange feeling and asked for a quick solution. "It's okay, Xiaoguang, increase the energy. It won't hurt at this level."

The ball of light responded.

But there is no need to take this step.

The attraction of the entity to consciousness is like the carrot hanging in front of a donkey. Even if it is dormant, it will make the runaway consciousness subconsciously run over and want to grab the carrot immediately and swallow it into its stomach to feel at ease.

So the pulling force that was originally accelerating at a constant speed suddenly increased to a very fast speed and flew towards them like a cannonball. The excitement of looking forward to returning home was transmitted along with the pulling force, which scared the two guys who were frowning and being cautious.

"Wow wow wow be careful! Shi Xu, quickly block it!"

The ball of light screamed, "It's still wrapped around that bad thing! If it gets into your brain, I can't guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen!"

"?"

Shi Xu opened his eyes instantly: "Is this something I can stop?!"

In a flash, the young man suddenly stood up and leaped backwards, using his body which was infinitely more flexible to quickly create distance. This not only provided ample space for the light ball prepared by holding his breath to capture it, but also allowed him to perform an exciting ghost-escaping operation when his consciousness brought the dirty stuff closer.

Getting closer.

Under the two people's nervous gaze, the pure white shadow rose from the ground! Wrapped in a barely visible black, he suddenly rushed towards Shi Xu.

It’s so close!

The energy net that had been prepared long ago also rose from the ground, and stretched the anxious consciousness to the ground with a snap, surging like a spring.

"Capture successful!" the light ball shouted.

Shi Xu, who was on high alert, breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and took a few tentative steps forward.

The consciousness that had calmed down a little suddenly jumped up with excitement again.

The piece of black fog that was bound by it lay limp and powerless, as if dead.

The ball of light also slowly approached and swung the net: "Put on your gloves first, let's go back to the space and separate these two."

"Hold it tightly in your hand. If it squeezes out from the gap, it will be troublesome!"

"I'm going to close the net!"

——

Finally, I returned to the space safely. Shi Xu put his hands together and felt the wonderful human strength in his palms. It was a mysterious feeling similar to when he touched a ball of light, but it was not clear through the gloves.

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's do a small operation first." The young man carefully caught Gu Yong's consciousness ball, held it in his palm and tried to negotiate with it, "You don't want your body to die the next second after you melt, right?"

Under the gaze of the light ball, he raised the delicate surgical equipment - his own hands, tore open the mesh and pulled the black mist out, wanting to complete the separation in the most unpretentious way.

It's a bit difficult. The dormant consciousness was unable to communicate, and it just bit tightly onto the mist that enveloped it before it fainted, and did not slacken its strength even though the tingling sensation continued. Therefore, this is destined to be a protracted battle.

This made things difficult for Shi Xu who was undergoing the separation "surgery". The young man moved with an expressionless face.

The space quieted down. The clock that Shi Xu had strongly requested to be installed ticked away, becoming the only sound in the air.

The high and mighty existence in the copy, once separated from the copy it parasitizes, is nothing more than a sheep to be slaughtered.

Shi Xu lowered his eyes and looked down at the dying black fog. The mist that had been completely blown up was incomplete and weak. It couldn't even corrode a layer of flesh when placed on the hand, and only caused an almost negligible stinging pain.

The fluctuations that Qi Heng could only catch by looking up were now actually held in his fingertips, and he pretended to be dead, unable to resist. The days following the explosion had tortured Him severely. After being away from his parasitic place, He had no strength left except to slowly die of thirst.

The only value left is His origin. He, who has the same origin as the external power, is the natural key, which is enough for the two to finally find the direction of the dark nest and enter the next plot node.

Hatred? Actually, no. As a character whose ending had already been determined in the script, Shi Xu was 90% sure that the plot could be completed successfully. The future glimpsed in the world line has been covered up, and the fluctuating emotions at that time have been forgotten.

It’s just that at times like this, there is always some incredible feeling coming to my mind.

"When I was checking the world line, I actually didn't think that "He" could be controlled so easily by us, even though he is just a tiny afterimage."

The ball of light floated aside and spoke softly.

"At the beginning, I didn't even think it would go so smoothly... Let's just consider it as going smoothly, if it weren't for your sudden ideas that stimulated my heart."

"When I woke up, the world was already seriously eroded by external forces. As a new body, I couldn't resist, so I had to use this strategy and use up my last bit of energy to find you. At that time, I was looking at the world line, looking at the nodes with countless deaths, and I remember that I was...desperate? I think that was the emotion."

The light ball was rarely depressed. Shi Xu sat aside and listened to it quietly.

But it soon became cheerful again, its mood changing as quickly as a child's. The young man breathed a sigh of relief... Why did he feel a sense of relief today?

"It's almost over, only two nodes left." The light ball moved closer to Shi Xu's hand, and said in a brisk tone, "When everything restarts, our mission will be completed. At that time, I will send you back to your own world and let you enjoy the life you deserve!"

It was silent for a while.

"...When that time comes, can we still chat?"

"Of course." Shi Xu responded the next second.

"By then you will have grown into a mature world consciousness, so it won't take much effort for you to come find me, right?" The young man's voice was gentle, and his movements also became gentle, instantly pulling out most of the black fog. "It's normal to keep in touch. We've been friends for a long time."

"friend."

The light ball repeated in a low voice.

Soon, its tone became high and it repeated several times: "Friends! Yes, we are friends! It is normal for friends to contact each other. I will chat with you as often as I do now!"

For the first time, the still immature world consciousness began to look forward to the future and couldn't wait to realize it. Freshness and joy burst out within its body, sizzling and steaming.

"Then let's quickly get into the dark nest!" It lay beside Shi Xu's hand, staring at his effortless movements and carefully admonishing him, "Don't forget the agreement we made today."

"Of course." Shi Xu still replied.
