After the joyous celebration banquet, Qi's four fans sat together and discussed where to find the pass.
At that moment, there were two gentle knocks on the temple door, and the four of them stopped talking. It was the children's nap time, and everything was quiet, so the faint knocks were easy to hear.
Qi Mi opened the door and found Sister Li and her four children.
Sister Li still wore the beautiful attire she wore when she got married this morning, but her complexion looked a little pale. When she heard that all the food in the Kuai family had turned into insects, Zheng Yuanyuan hurriedly heated up the leftover lunch for them to eat.
Sister Li pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly and stood at the door without going in: "Just let the child eat some, I, I don't need it."
She never imagined that as soon as she got married into the Kuai family, the gods turned into monsters and were killed by Qi Mi, and the food turned into disgusting insects. Now the big family was in chaos. Maybe it was really fate.
"Come in and have something to eat." Qi Mi reached out and pulled her.
If she had realized earlier that the god worshipped by the Kuai family was a monster, she would never have let Sister Li marry him this morning. It would have been better than now, where Sister Li happily married him but ended up with nothing.
Sister Li pulled her hand away and rubbed the corner of her clothes awkwardly. Her words were filled with emotion. "No need. I'm here to pass on a message. Miss Qi, the master of the main house wants you to come over."
Qi Fan was stunned: "He is looking for me?"
"Yes, he said he was waiting for you in the old hall of Kuai's manor."
Qi Mi looked at her and thought for a moment, "Okay, let's go."
Lang Yu was worried and followed.
Sister Li looked at him and said nothing. She just told the four children to stay here obediently and then took the two of them to the old hall of Kuai's manor.
I didn't expect that after just two hours of not seeing him, Kuai Weitian had actually aged even more. He was sitting in a rocking chair, on an IV drip, his sharp eyes dim and cloudy, his hoarse and weak voice sounding as if he was only breathing out but not in.
Seeing Qi Mi approaching, he raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at her. His mouth moved slightly, unable to open, and he squeezed out a vague word from his throat. The old woman beside him hurriedly leaned over and listened, then relayed the story: "The old master said that you, the culprit, are actually you."
Qi Mi frowned: "What?"
Kuai Weitian opened and closed his mouth and said something in a muffled voice. After the old woman listened carefully, she said in a clear and melodious voice, "It's all because of you, an outsider. You have disrupted the good life of our Kuai family!"
"...a good life?" Qi Mi scoffed. "If you think eating poisonous insects is a good life, then I apologize. I'm sorry."
As she said this, she politely nodded slightly to apologize.
Unexpectedly, when he saw her like this, Kuai Weitian suddenly became excited, pointed at her and talked excitedly, but Qi Mi didn't understand a word he said.
She stared at the old lady, wondering what she was saying.
After the old lady calmed them down, she conveyed the main idea of the master of the main family with an expressionless face: "The old master said that you, an outsider, have ruined the good lives of so many people. You will be struck by lightning!"
Qi Mi sighed softly, "So you called me here just to scold me?" Her face darkened, and she turned and pulled Lang Yu over. "Since you're my elder, I'll endure it. I don't want to reason with you fools. Let's go."
“Ugh! You! %￥#%…”
Kuai Weitian was very emotional. He stood up suddenly and pointed at her and shouted again.
Qi Mi left without looking back. As soon as he stepped into the door, he heard the old woman loudly translate: "You outsiders just want that piece of paper! I tell you, you will never find it in your lifetime! You will never leave here. You can't survive even if you kill the gods. You will just wait for death like the people in our Kuai family!"
Qi Mi paused and turned around: "Where is the pass?"
Because the situation at the end of the world this time was a bit special, she almost forgot that the pass would usually be in the hands of the base commander. If this Kuai family manor was regarded as a base, then the master of the main family was undoubtedly the base commander.
It was simply because she didn't want to step into this base at all. Her physical aversion affected her judgment and caused her to ignore this crucial information.
After all, in other doomsdays, the base is equivalent to a safe haven for mankind, but the Kuaishi Zhuangzi is like an abyss that eats people without leaving any bones. It is an existence like the end of the world, making people eager to avoid it.
Seemingly satisfied with Qi Mi's shocked expression, Kuai Weitian struggled to force out a very ugly smile, stared with his cloudy eyes, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Qi fans are waiting for translation.
Old Madam: "Yes, it's all in my hands! I know that as long as you don't have that piece of paper, you can't leave. You can only stay here forever to strengthen my Kuai family!"
"Now that you've killed the Kuai family's deity, you must stay here to atone for your sins! You will be spurned by my Kuai clan forever! I will never tell you the whereabouts of that piece of paper!"
The old lady was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, and she glared at Qi Mi fiercely.
"Very good, disrupting the order of the game is my job." Lang Yu came to life when he heard it. He turned around, raised his head slightly, and walked over vigorously in his Martin boots.
Kuai Weitian was surprised. He looked carefully at the pair of red eyes and immediately recognized his identity. His arrogance subsided a lot in an instant and he sat down obediently.
At this moment, Qi Mi seemed to have thought of something. He pulled Lang Yu and let out a chuckle. "Wait a minute, Lang Yu. I have a way to find those passes. He's still a little naive if he wants to threaten me."
Lang Yu tilted his head with interest: "Oh?"
Qi Mi smiled, raised his hand to control time and space, and called Zheng Yuanyuan over in minutes.
Zheng Yuanyuan's summoned creature is good at manipulating consciousness. It can seal off a person's consciousness, so it can naturally read the consciousness. Especially for people with strong emotions like Kuai Weitian, the more he doesn't want Qi Mi to find the whereabouts of the pass, the more likely it is that the hiding place will appear in his mind.
A few minutes later, the black ball completed its mission and returned to Zheng Yuanyuan's head, rolling twice as if to ask for credit.
Only its owner, Zheng Yuanyuan, could understand its meaning: "It seems to be at the bottom of a large, dark stone statue, with a very small cellar inside a wooden box."
"Mmmm!" Kuai Weitian hurriedly shook his head to deny it, and there was even a whimpering sound in his throat.
Qi Mi knew it was right when he saw his expression, and smiled and took Zheng Yuanyuan's hand: "Let's go to the underground palace."
Kuai Weitian stood up and tried to stop it. He called Zhao Qi Mi over because he couldn't swallow this humiliation and wanted to demonstrate to her intentionally. He used the things in his hand to threaten her to work for the Kuai family. As a result, he lost more than he gained. He didn't expect that there was a girl who could read people's minds and found the things he had carefully hidden.
He staggered forward a few steps, his body twitched violently, and he lowered his head and vomited a pool of blood.
Qi Mi looked back and left expressionlessly.
The three of them walked on the scattered papers and headed straight for the underground palace. After the monster broke through the ground, only a huge deep pit was left.
Zheng Yuanyuan stayed upstairs waiting for them, while Qi Mi and Lang Yu jumped down and landed on the undamaged spiral staircase. They slowly walked down the stairs and landed lightly on the ground when they reached almost the middle.
After the statue shattered, all that remained was a cold stone seat.
"It's right in front of the base of the stone statue. Just turn the incense burner on the altar." Zheng Yuanyuan shouted while lying at the entrance of the cave.
"good!"
Following the reminder, Qi Mi turned the incense burner, and with a loud noise, a secret passage was opened.
The secret passage was very narrow and short. After sliding down, you would arrive at a secret room of several meters square. The secret room was completely exposed with only a black wooden table on which a wooden box was placed upright. An old scroll was hung on the wall.
After confirming that the wooden box contained the real pass, Qi Mi picked it up and moved his hand towards the painting.
"Wait..." When Lang Yu saw the person in the painting clearly and was about to reach out to stop her, he saw that she had already taken the painting in her hands and was looking at it carefully.
The painting is quite old and has many damaged areas. The only thing left is a girl in the center of the drawing. The girl's clothing is quite reminiscent of the old Republican era. The plain white top is fresh and elegant, and the skirt is a pale blue, elegant and low-key yet charming. Her amber eyes are very lively.
But his movements were a little awkward, as if he was a little embarrassed, and his two hands were tightly clenched on the corners of his clothes.
And for some reason, someone drew a big cross on the scroll with a red pen.
Lang Yu silently watched Qi Mi's expression, and when he saw her frown, he hurriedly reached out to take it back. However, just as his fingertips touched the paper, she raised her hand to block it.
"This painting..." Her face was a little conflicted.
Lang Yu swallowed, his voice suddenly becoming a little hoarse: "What's wrong with this painting?"
"I don't know who is so wicked as to cross out a perfectly good painting."
“…” He breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Mi didn't notice anything, so he hung the painting back on the wall, picked up the wooden box, and looked at Lang Yu: "Shall we go?"
"Um."
Lang Yu nodded, deliberately slowed down his pace and took the drawing paper. The person on it was drawn in an ordinary way with some traces of time, so it was normal that no clues could be seen.
He folded the drawing paper carefully, put it in his pocket, and walked out of the secret room.
As soon as the two of them came out of the underground palace, they found that some people from the Kuai family were surrounding them.
The girl who burned her pass before was also among them.
"I heard that the real pass is here?" she asked.
Qi Mi looked around at them and opened the box. "All the passes for players in this world should be here." She took out the dozen or so passes they needed and handed the wooden box to the girl. "Give the rest among yourselves."
The girl took it, and suddenly her nose felt sore. She bowed her head and thanked you: "Thank you, I thought I would never be able to leave this place for the rest of my life."
Qi Mi said nothing, her gaze passing the woman to the man in the white coat at the edge of the crowd. His face was swollen like a pig's head, so conspicuous it was hard not to notice him. After a closer look, she recognized him as Kuai Bo. Like the yellow-haired man from the end of the polar night, he was clearly Lang Yu's handiwork.
She glanced sideways slightly: "Well done."
Lang Yu's eyebrows curved: "Thank you for the compliment~"
The two returned to the temple. After receiving the pass, the children couldn't wait to leave. They didn't even plan to eat dinner here. They quickly packed their small backpacks and took some messy things with them, saying they would keep them as souvenirs.
When Kuai Liang saw that they were all leaving, he, who had just gotten used to the hustle and bustle, couldn't help but feel the desertedness. He bowed slightly to Lang Yu and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, I will definitely take good care of this temple and will never let anyone destroy it."
Lang Yu: “Yeah.”
They left in such a hurry that Chen Banxianer was reluctant to let them go. She looked at Qi Mi eagerly, "You still have several things to do for me, and you're leaving now?"
Qi Mi smiled and said, "Keep it for now. I'll come back to see you later."
Anyway, she now has the ability to manipulate time and space, so it would only take a few minutes for her to come back here and check the situation.
Chen Banxianer's eyes were filled with excitement when he heard this: "Really! Then next time you come to see me, remember to buy me a phone like yours! You owe me this, you can't shirk it!"
"Okay~" Qi Mi agreed immediately.
After two seconds of silence, she looked up at Kuai Alua, who was standing behind them, and walked over. "You stay here. Sister Li will be back soon. As long as you work hard on the farm, you won't go hungry."
Kuai Alua sniffed reluctantly: "Well, I will study hard like Sister Li."
Qi Mi nodded. She was worried about the child who had just escaped from prison, so she asked Chen Banxian'er and Kuai Liang to make sure she ate on time. However, before Chen Banxian'er could even offer a firm promise, Kuai Liang, who always disliked trouble, spoke first: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."
"Yes, are we two grown men afraid that we can't take care of a little girl?" Chen Banxian patted his chest.
Qi Mi thanked the two, looked at the light in the distance, then looked at the dark land above him: "How about I help you open up this piece of land to see the sun, otherwise these vegetables won't grow very well."
After getting the knife given by Lang Yu, she always felt itchy and wanted to cut something.
Upon hearing this, Chen Banxian'er and Kuai Liang quickly waved their hands and refused: "Let's wait until we get used to it. We've been living underground for so long that we've almost forgotten what it's like to live in the sun."
"Okay then." Qi Mi could only give up.
According to the small map on the back of the pass, the portal is on the ground, and the group must leave the underground and go to the ground. So Lang Yu went up first to explore the way. After waving Guichen to get rid of those paper people who were still breathing, Qi Mi controlled the space and brought them down smoothly from underground to the ground.
Because the sunlight was too glaring, everyone closed their eyes and lowered their heads, and only opened them again after their eyes adjusted.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the ground was littered with shredded paper. Fearing further mishaps, Lang Yu simply reduced the paper figures, along with the paper houses and trees, to rubble. The wind blew through the air, sending confetti flying everywhere, the colorful bits looking like celebratory streamers.
If you look closely, the occasional breeze can lift the paper to reveal the corpses of men and women in bright red wedding dresses, but it will soon be covered again.
It is probably the poor person who marries a paper doll.
Fortunately, the children did not notice this and were happy to leave this shabby place.
"Teacher Qi, are we going to see mom and dad soon?!" Wang Xiaohu jumped up and down, unable to contain the joy in his heart.
Not only him, every child's eyes were shining with excitement, as if they couldn't wait to fly into the arms of their loved ones.
After completing the final stage of the apocalypse, Qi fans can finally confirm: "Yes, as long as we go through that blue door again, we can leave."
"Great!" the kids shouted in unison.
"However, you still have one last test." Qi Mi said seriously.
From her past experience, before leaving the game, that is, after entering the portal, everyone will walk alone on a road similar to a marquee, which records their review of the entire game, which may contain emotions, regrets, and even fears. If one's will is not firm, it is very likely that one will be trapped in this marquee and enter the game again and cannot leave.
Although I don’t know if this situation will happen to them if they come in accidentally, I still have to remind them first just in case.
"Make it clear that your goal is to get home. No matter what you see or hear, ignore it. Just run to the end of the road in front of you. Teacher Qi will be waiting for you at that door. Do you understand?"
The ten cubs raised their fists firmly: "I heard it!"
Qi Mi looked at the two teachers.
Zheng Yuanyuan and Du Rui nodded, their eyes filled with determination.
"Okay, line up, let's go!"
A few minutes later, the group saw from a distance the portal standing very abruptly on the flat and open ground.
Two guards wearing phoenix masks took their passes and made a rare sound, congratulating them on their successful clearance.
According to the usual queuing method, Qi Mi was at the end, Du Rui was at the head, Zheng Yuanyuan was in the middle, and the children held hands and lined up in rows and walked into the portal one after another.
"Congratulations! The judge's escort mission is finally complete." Qi Mi smiled and extended his hand to Lang Yu, celebrating their pleasant cooperation on this journey. "And thank you for the knife. I will cherish it."
Lang Yu chuckled: "No rush, just in case, I still have to make sure you get out."
Qi Mi tilted his head: "Then you still want to walk with me for a while?"
"Well, I'll accompany you to the end."
Qi Mi nodded thoughtfully, withdrew his hand and was about to step into the portal, when he suddenly seemed to notice something and turned his head to look at the sky.
The white clouds dispersed, and a temple similar to a mirage suddenly appeared. It was illusory but real. The jade-like buildings emitted a strange light, and the colored glaze shone with dazzling golden light, which made people fall in love with it at first sight.
Lang Yu was startled and quickly waved Guichen to make it disappear.
But it was too late. Qi Mi's attention was already drawn to it: "Is that... the temple?"
So that's the temple where wishes can be fulfilled as long as you can reach it?
As if being pulled by an unknown thread, she slowly took steps towards it.
"Don't go!" Lang Yu quickly grabbed her.
Qi Mi's body froze.
After she regained her sanity, this anxious and gentle voice gradually overlapped with the voice deep in her memory—
The voice said, "Don't look for the temple anymore. Leave here and live happily."
Qi Mi slowly turned his head and looked at Lang Yu.
At this moment, there were too many emotions in Lang Yu's eyes, and he could no longer hide the pity in his eyes.
He suddenly lowered his head, grabbed her wrist without saying a word, and pulled her into the portal.
"You should leave. That's where you should live."
As if afraid that Qi Mi would break free, he kept holding her tightly in his hands and led her forward. His already pale fingers became even colder.
The marquees on both sides passed by quickly and clearly.
There are Qi fans, a smaller version of Lang Yu, and a teenage version of him.
There are scenes of their first meeting, scenes of their reunion, and many places that Qi’s fans have never noticed.
For example, when she was humming a little tune in Yaya's class at the end of the polar night, Langyu was standing outside the window looking at her tenderly.
For example, when Lang Yu was fighting against Qin Xunfeng in the arena on her behalf, his body was twisted into a ball.
…
For example, in the high-dimensional world of graffiti apocalypse, there is a conversation between Lang Yu and Lao Wei.
Lao Wei: "Do you like her?"
"Yeah, I like it." A gentle answer without hesitation.
Hearing this, Lang Yu's hand couldn't help but shrink, and his expression suddenly became more unnatural.
He forgot that he had discussed this with Lao Wei, and even more so that she would see his story on the ticker tape.
He pursed his lips tightly, remained silent for two seconds, and then tried to explain: "Well, it's not..."
"It's not what I thought, right?" Qi Mi couldn't help but chuckle after listening to his lame explanation. She pulled her hand away, stared at Lang Yu for a moment, and continued to walk forward.
"Once I send those cubs back safely, I will come back to ask you clearly!" she said.
“…”
Lang Yu knew that what was coming would eventually come, so he closed his eyes and sighed slowly:
"...Okay, I'll wait for you."
At the end of the revolving lantern, the distance between the two seemed to be as huge as a chasm. Lang Yu stood still, watching her silently as the distance between them gradually widened until she was finally lost in the light ahead.
He frowned, and gently fiddled with the small stone hanging on the red rope on his wrist with his fingertips. His eyes were filled with too many emotions.
A few minutes later, Qi Mi walked out of the marquee and saw twelve figures of different sizes gathered in front of a huge and tall golden gate, waiting for her with smiles on their faces.
Ten kids waved their hands at her: "You're too slow, Teacher Qi! You're the last one!"
"He said he would wait for us, but he's so slow!"
"Teacher Qi, Di Yuntong was the first one to arrive!"
Qi Mi's eyebrows curved, and she touched Di Yuntong's little head: "Do you miss your parents?"
Di Yuntong smiled: "Yeah!"
"Then let's work together to open this door."
"good!"
Everyone turned around and pushed open the golden door together.
Finally, this journey that lasted for who knows how many years came to a perfect end.
Ring, ring, ring——
At five o'clock sharp, the kindergarten bell rang on time.
The gates of Chunya Kindergarten were crowded with parents waiting to pick up their children, eagerly awaiting the return of their little ones. As the sun set, the parents' shadows stretched out long, casting a dense shadow over the clean, beautiful play equipment within the courtyard.
There are swings and slides here, and colorful patterns are painted everywhere.
There is no polar night here, and there will be no dead grass in the yard.
Immediately afterwards, the thirteen people seemed to have gotten used to the formation in the apocalypse, with Du Rui leading the way, Zheng Yuanyuan following, and Qi Mi at the rear. The kids in the Douding class were finally out of school!
These people were all covered in dust. The three teachers were not wearing kindergarten uniforms, and the children were not wearing the clothes they wore when they were brought in in the morning.
The parents of the Douding class looked at each other in confusion.
Without waiting in line to come out one by one, the ten kids almost broke down the door and rushed out, throwing themselves into the arms of their relatives, crying and laughing, and excitedly telling about their adventure in this apocalyptic adventure.
Zhao Yize gestured with his little hands in his father's arms: "Dad, do you know? We went to a place without the sun, a real polar night world! There are many, many insects there, some are this big, this big!"
Wang Xiaohu pulled his mother and pointed at Qi Mi with bright eyes: "Mom, Teacher Qi is really a female warrior. She defeated many monsters!"
Peng Yichen lay in her mother's arms and cried non-stop, feeling wronged. "I want to eat meat! I've only been eating vegetables these past few days, and I've lost weight!"
Ye Shushi and Ye Shuci held their father and mother's hands.
Ye Shuci: "Dad, we met a naughty little fairy in the hospital. I'm the only one who remembers everyone. Teacher Qi said I'm the best!"
"Isn't that because of the little fairy's prank? Teacher Zheng was also sick at that time." Ye Shushi pouted unhappily.
Di Yuntong, who loves to cry the most, didn't cry for the first time. He kept a serious face and said, "Mom, I, I have grown up. I, I didn't cry. I have many new mothers."
Mother Di: “?” New mother?
Yang Shengzhuang raised his fist and showed off his kung fu skills: "Dad, I even beat aliens. Am I a little man now? I'm awesome, right?!"
Yang's father played with his phone and said perfunctorily: "Yeah, awesome."
Fang Xinyue's pigtails swayed as she introduced her new friend to her mother: "That pretty boy is called Langyu, and his eyes are as red as a little rabbit."
Compared with the quiet and well-behaved Yaya class next to them, the children in the Douding class were as lively as monkeys, which made the parents who came to pick them up look confused and asked what was going on.
As the lead teacher, Zheng Yuanyuan stepped forward and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, parents. Today, the Douding class played an imaginative game with the children. The children were so engrossed in the game that they accidentally got their clothes dirty, so they changed them first."
"What kind of imaginative play can get your clothes dirty?"
"My son stinks. What happened to you?"
"My daughter's clothes cost thousands of dollars and can't be hand-washed! Give them to me now!"
…
There was a lot of noise from the parents who had no idea what they were going through.
Zheng Yuanyuan had anticipated this situation. She calmly took out the black ball and whispered, "Let them calm down. It's best to forget these little details."
The black ball rolled in her hand, quickly leaped into the air and emitted radio waves, slightly blocking their consciousness.
Gradually, the parents forgot about their children changing clothes and became calm.
At this time, Du Rui cleared his throat, smiled slightly, and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, take care!"
In an instant, the parents and children, as if possessed, waved to him in unison: "Goodbye, teacher."
The three teachers smiled politely: "See you tomorrow!"
The pups finally came home.
After finally seeing off those noisy parents, the three teachers breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the apocalyptic game they experienced was basically seamlessly connected to the real world, with an error of only a few minutes at most. Even if they stayed in the world of the apocalyptic game for a few years, it would not affect their life in the real world when they came back.
Zheng Yuanyuan looked at the peaceful sky, feeling very happy. She lowered her head and looked at Yu Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, can mommy take you to see your grandparents today?"
After going through so many things, she finally had the courage to face the past. When she was on the verge of death in the strange barrier, she relied on Yu Jiaojiao and her parents to have the courage to fight again.
Yu Jiaojiao nodded excitedly when she heard this: "Then I can draw a peace amulet for them!"
"Okay~"
After finishing their simple packing, the mother and daughter waved goodbye to Qi Mi and Du Rui: "Then we'll be leaving. Teacher Du, Teacher Qi, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
Qi Mi smiled and waved, then quickly elbowed Du Rui and whispered, "It's your turn to show off, but you're still not taking the initiative. You've already experienced three apocalypses, so how long do you want to wait?"
Du Rui was stunned for a moment, then mustered up the courage to chase after him.
"Teacher Zheng, wait a minute! My uncle said he'd like to drive you!" Wu Muchen said, his hands in his pockets, staring at Du Rui helplessly. "Hurry up, uncle! I'm worried about you."
Du Rui: “?”
After waving goodbye to Qi's fans, Du Rui and Wu Muchen quickly trotted to catch up with Zheng Yuanyuan and her daughter.
In the orange-yellow afterglow, the four people and even the dark shadows under their feet were so harmonious and beautiful.
Qi Mi smiled and turned to look at the bustling street.
As if a gift from the setting sun, the city was bathed in warmth, a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Pedestrians chatted and played, feeling at ease. They were busy and fulfilled, unfazed by the sudden appearance of monsters, the source of their next meal, or the pressing dilemma of life and death...
This is the life that Qi fans want.
A free and comfortable life under the bright sunshine.
Qi Mi stretched lazily as if relieved, raised the corners of his lips, and whispered to the world: "I'm back."
Just as she finished speaking, a car horn sounded on the street ahead, as if saying to her:
Welcome back.
The author has something to say:
Thank you all for your company! The adventure of Doudingban ends here. I will expand on the past and future of the male and female protagonists in the extra chapters (bow) (scatter flowers) (spin in circles~)
