Chapter 97: Thousand Faces of All Living Things (5)
After the middle-aged couple finished explaining all the matters, such as how Xie Xin should take good care of his younger brother, they said they had to go to work and left.
Lu Jinghong felt that the couple would not live long. As the origin of their escape, Xie Xin should have the urge to kill them after seeing their behavior in front of him, right?
As she thought this, she lowered her eyes and inadvertently met the gaze of Xie Xin, who was in child form.
Then, Lu Jinghong was slightly stunned.
Xie Xin’s eyes were as if they were a real object.
Can he see himself?
But it’s no wonder. This is the world created by Xie Xin himself. It is natural that Xie Xin can see himself.
I just don’t know what timeline this Xie Xin is in?
Soon, Xie Xin's behavior confirmed Lu Jinghong's guess. He sent his newly adopted brother away, and without other creatures present, Xie Xin's eyes fell on Lu Jinghong even more openly.
Lu Jinghong couldn't help but gently touch his teeth with the tip of his tongue.
She hadn't felt this creepy in a long time.
"You can ask now." After Xie Xin, who was wearing the skin of a little boy, took off his disguise, only his expressionless face was left. This made him look weird and out of place in this young body, and even gave off a bit of creepy feeling in the backlit rental house.
Lu Jinghong couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
Xie Xin had obvious murderous intentions towards her.
Is it an illusion?
The moment Lu Jinghong tensed his body, the murderous intent receded like the tide.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Jinghong's senses were extremely sharp, but when facing Xie Xin, she became uncertain again.
Xie Xin has no motive to kill her, right?
After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Jinghong cleared his throat and asked the first question: "Why did you kill that boy just now?"
"He is the original incarnation of X. X is trying to use this body to control my brother's mind and body." Xie Xin answered flatly as he said.
Lu Jinghong took a breath. In fact, this was pretty much what she had guessed, but she was still shocked by the drastic changes that had taken place over the years without her knowledge.
Under the illusion of peace in the real world, no one probably thought that they had a close brush with death, right?
Lu Jinghong asked: "Is your brother... very important to you?"
Some unknown emotion seemed to be ignited in Xie Xin's black pupils.
Emotions? Could this high-dimensional creature also have emotions without any instruction?
Lu Jinghong was secretly puzzled, but Xie Xin soon gave her the answer: "It is indeed important."
"That Gu... an old friend of mine said his guess, this child was raised by you. It shouldn't be the X behind the game, right? Is it you?" Lu Jinghong couldn't help asking, "Or that adult?"
"Yeah." Xie Xin didn't say much this time, but just affirmed Lu Jinghong's question.
"You... I will assume that you are god-like beings," Lu Jinghong asked, "Are there two factions of so-called gods? What exactly are humans in this fight? Are they fighting beasts in the gaming field?"
Xie Xin raised the corners of his lips: "Smart."
Lu Jinghong asked again: "What is the special connection between me... and that god?"
Xie Xin said: "Eyes. Your skills are specially made by Him to restrain the game party."
Lu Jinghong asked: "What kind of existence are you?"
"The offspring of God, that's probably what you should call it." Xie Xin said, "My only responsibility is to ensure that my brother grows up safely and without worries. As for the rest, I don't want to control anything and I don't want to change anything."
This is Xie Xin ten years ago.
Lu Jinghong's survival radar, which was alert to danger, suddenly started blaring at this moment.
The boy sighed as if speaking, his voice mixed with a hint of old-fashioned cruelty: "So I will eliminate all possibilities that may disrupt this vision, including..."
"That god's long-cherished wish."
Lu Jinghong's neck was stiff.
She was not quite sure what Xie Xin was going to do, but at this moment she suddenly realized that Xie Xin's position was subtly different from hers in some respects.
"That god wants to save mankind...Xie Xin, what about you?" Despite this, Lu Jinghong still gritted her teeth and asked a thunderous question, even though she knew that this might anger Xie Xin and even make him kill her.
"So, I will settle all this." The boy's face was cold and ruthless. "What do humans, the world, and games have to do with us?"
"He can't go any further. City A is not where he should go." Xie Xin said, "Lu Jinghong, you are going to die."
"I hope you die and all your plans fall apart."
His figure was once again entangled in the black fog, and the sound of dislocated joints came from the fog. Lu Jinghong looked at the black fog that was getting longer and longer, and realized that it was the adult Xie Xin coming to find her.
Lu Jinghong smiled with a cold sweat and said, "Are you really not afraid of your brother getting angry?"
She had to find a way to escape!
Lu Jinghong quickly guessed the reason why Xie Xin was so eager to kill her. It was simply that she had had direct contact with his younger brother. As long as she thought about it more deeply, she immediately connected it to the clown with the residual warmth in his palm.
As long as she delays until she finds a way to get out and return to Xie Xin's brother, Xie Xin will probably be afraid of revealing his true nature in front of his brother.
And now, the best way to delay is to disturb Xie Xin's mind as much as possible.
Lu Jinghong spoke thoughtfully: "You said that you hope your brother can live an ordinary life, but you don't seem to care much about his wishes..."
She was thinking deeply, and her intuition told her that there must be a deeper reason why Xie Xin wanted to kill her so eagerly!
But these can only be explored if she gets out alive!
Lu Jinghong pulled out the knife that had been hidden in her waistband. This was a high-level item she had obtained in a copy before her death. It was directly bound to her soul and could be used at any time no matter where she was.
This knife is not a physical knife in the ordinary sense, but a knife that can be combined with her purification skill!
I don’t know how effective it is against other creatures, but Lu Jinghong is still somewhat confident that he can deal with a creature like Xie Xin!

After Gu Qiufeng and Xie Xin entered the city, they discovered that Duan Jiangli had chosen a doomsday zombie world.
"I don't know if this is good luck or bad." Gu Qiufeng couldn't help but sigh, "It's really rare to see a creature that can be dealt with by direct thermal weapons without mental attacks."
Xie Xin suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qiufeng asked.
"It's okay." Xie Xin quickly put away his strange expression and pointed to the supermarket on the street and said, "Do you want to go stock up on some goods first?"
Gu Qiufeng couldn't help but say, "You are quite sensible, stockpiling goods for the end times."
Xie Xin said helplessly: "This instance is a battle of physical exhaustion. I'm afraid you haven't eaten for too long and you won't be able to hold on."
"You are so powerful in fighting." Gu Qiufeng said, "You won't let me get hurt, right?"
Although he said this, he still pushed open the door of a supermarket as he was told.
There were a few zombies hiding inside, but the moment the door opened, they were shattered into pieces by Xie Xin's thoughts.
The supplies on the shelves must have been cleared out several times, and there was nothing left. The beverage shelves and instant noodle shelves were completely emptied. However, Gu Qiufeng still found a few small bags of compressed biscuits and chocolates in the corners. They must have been accidentally dropped when they were hastily evacuating and had no time to pick them up.
It's a good deal for him.
But eating compressed biscuits dry would be too choking, so Gu Qiufeng took a few bites and stuffed them into his trouser pocket. Facing Xie Xin's puzzled look, he said helplessly: "We have to find some water."
"Yeah." Xie Xin turned and walked towards other supermarkets.
Gu Qiufeng hurriedly followed him.
He said, "Xie Xin, why did you accept the endorsement of that game before? And you kept it secret from me."
Xie Xin said: "I'm afraid X is up to something and wants to harm you, so I want to go and see for myself first."
Gu Qiufeng opened his mouth and thought that this was really an unexpected disaster.
If he hadn't gotten on the bus out of spite, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
"Don't think too much." Xie Xin just glanced at him and said calmly, "X has been trying to lure you into the game. The bus is just one of his means."
Gu Qiufeng thought about it and agreed. Even if there was no bus, there would be some other objects that would serve as an opportunity for X to pull him into the game.
It was impossible for Xie Xin to keep an eye on him all the time.
"There are quite a few zombies locked up in this supermarket." Gu Qiufeng found a good spot. He knocked on the glass door, and the sound immediately attracted the zombies inside to rush over. "There should be a lot of supplies still there... Xie Xin?"
He suddenly realized something was wrong and turned around to see that Xie Xin had disappeared.
Gu Qiufeng frowned slightly.
But he soon figured it out. Xie Xin must have suddenly discovered something was wrong and went to deal with it.
Anyway, if Xie Xin couldn't handle it, he probably couldn't handle it either. There was no point in thinking so much.
Xie Xin is not the kind of person who would suddenly abandon someone.
There are more important things right now. ^o^
Ever since Xie Xin slaughtered all the NPCs in the background, Gu Qiufeng has been afraid to summon NPCs in front of Xie Xin. He always felt that Xie Xin had a strong hostility towards these NPCs who became his skills.
Just when Xie Xin was away, Gu Qiufeng could call Gu Jiu out to ask him about Xie Xin's abnormality.
Gu Jiu is very smart and can always hit the nail on the head on many issues.
But before Gu Qiufeng could take out the card, he was suddenly slapped hard on the shoulder. Gu Qiufeng's body stiffened slightly and he instinctively elbowed.
A human's cry of pain echoed throughout the street.
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Qiufeng saw Duan Jiangli squatting on the ground behind him, holding his chest, and said, "Senior, your way of greeting is really unique."
Gu Qiufeng was speechless: "Who told you to be so scary?"
Duan Jiangli also felt aggrieved. He saw Gu Qiufeng standing outside a supermarket full of zombies. Although the supermarket was closed, who knew if the zombies would suddenly break through the door and rush out? He was so anxious to remind him that he forgot that this would scare Gu Qiufeng.
"Oh, by the way, senior," Duan Jiangli suddenly realized, "Why did you suddenly come to this dungeon to find me? Did something happen?"
