Chapter 80: Abandoned Building No. 7 10 (Kindergarten)
Little Yili slowly opened his eyes and found a person squatting next to him, staring at him.
She was startled, and her groggy head immediately cleared up, but due to her heavy and clumsy body, she did not bounce off the spot.
"Did you get lost here too?" It was a little boy who looked only four or five years old.
"I... yes." Yi Li looked at the child in front of him and immediately changed his words: "I got lost and came here too. Do you know where this is?"
"This is the Memory Palace." The little boy pointed to a dark, half-open door in the distance, where a faint light shone through. "It's filled with other people's memories. I'm responsible for guarding it and keeping anyone out."
"My name is Bill. What's your name?"
The little boy looked at Yili in front of him and asked.
"You can call me Xiaoli."
Little Yili did not tell Bill his real name.
"Little carp? Which carp?"
"Koi carp."
"A koi fish that brings good luck?"
"Um."
Little Yili looked at Bill, whose eyes suddenly curved with laughter, and said, "What are you laughing at? Is my name funny?"
"I'm just happy."
Bill had a beautiful, harmless smile, his eyes full of stars.
"You are a gift from God, bring me good luck and help me get out of here."
Little Yili looked at Bill, who was laughing till tears came out of his eyes, and said, "I know you're very excited, but don't get excited yet. Aren't you afraid that I might break in?"
"You're the first person to come to me, so let me tell you, the moment you laid eyes on me, it meant you were dying." Bill pulled Little Yili up from the ground. "I also have another name: Undead. In the game's rules and regulations, it represents the abandoned one-third of the dead. Only the lucky ones on the verge of death have the privilege of meeting me."
"Undead? Game Code?" Little Yili pointed at himself: "Am I dying?"
"Uh-huh, yes, you're dying."
Little Yili fell silent when he remembered how he had just jumped into the swimming pool without hesitation.
Good news, she seems to be able to regain her lost memory.
Bad news, she's dying.
However, this is not a bad thing for little Yili.
Since I can come here, I can definitely get out.
"How should I get out?" Little Yili asked Bill directly.
Bill didn't hide it. "I don't know. I've been here since I opened my eyes. I want to go out, too. If you want to go out, I can help you. But you need to take me out too. I want to see the sun tomorrow."
Little Yili didn't expect this person to be so easy to talk to. He agreed without hesitation, but instead had doubts: "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Bill looked at Yili sincerely: "If you don't believe me, you can take my most important heart."
"Heart?" Little Yili subconsciously touched her heart. She always felt that Bill's words were somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember it.
In front of little Yili, Bill took out a red heart-shaped ruby, which emitted a fiery red light, and the light waves danced with his breathing.
Bill carefully placed the heart in Xiao Yili's hand: "If I lie to you, you can crush it at any time."
Xiao Yili suddenly felt his hand was burning: "...Are you serious?"
"You can try." Bill raised his eyebrows, his tone relaxed, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Little Yili looked at Bill's calm appearance and felt that there were two big words written on his face - sick.
The monster guarding the gate couldn't wait to take out his letter and hand it to my uncle when he saw the stranger, and took the initiative to help the other party.
There is definitely something fishy going on.
If he wanted to get out, he could just threaten himself. After all, a dying man could easily be strangled by an undead.
But this little brat doesn't follow the usual path.
Aren’t you afraid that you’ll just crush him to death?
Little Yili tentatively pinched the red gem heart secretly, only to see Bill's face instantly turn red, and a muffled groan escaped from the corner of his mouth.
"You can... use something heavier." Bill looked at little Yili, his ears swollen with bloodshot, and spoke shyly.
Little Yili: "..."
I have the illusion that I am not very healthy.
Is this really the vital point?
She is young, still a child.
I really don't understand anything.
She really wanted to throw the ruby back, but for her now, it was indeed an extremely tempting and favorable situation.
"What if I break this heart?"
"It doesn't matter. My soul will just be shattered. But I'm not the only undead here. Once I die, other undead will find you. I'm not sure if they will be as friendly as me. I suggest that we cooperate." Bill said with a smile.
Little Yili: "..."
As expected, she was too naive and did not accept the beatings of society.
Either cooperate with Bill or fight a group of undead in a game of eggs hitting stones.
Even if Yi Li dies, she will never succumb to such threats!
"Since you invite me so sincerely, I'll reluctantly agree." Little Yili held the red heart gem and looked at Bill: "I'm afraid this heart will be damaged. Can you put it somewhere else?"
"sure."
Bill smiled and snapped his fingers, and the heart immediately melted into Xiao Yili's palm, and her wrist immediately showed the mark of a heart gem.
Little Yili's eyes widened: "What is this?"
"My heart, when you want to take it out, just say it in your heart and it will appear."
Bill answered patiently.
Little Yili looked at Bill, extremely unsure whether he was the victim or this undead named Bill was the victim.
Is this a pie in the sky or a nuclear bomb falling from the sky?
"Are all your undead brains like this?" Little Yili looked at Bill excitedly.
Bill smiled slightly: "You will know later."
Little Yili: "..."
She really wanted to know what Bill was planning.
But her best option now was to work with Bill and get out of here.
She is dying, and if she really dies, there will be no hope.
"Do you know how to get out?"
"I really don't know about that." Bill thought for a moment and looked at Yili seriously, "Don't forget your past, don't trust your future. Roses don't grow counterclockwise, and we will eventually be crushed by their wheels."
Little Yili was confused: "What is this? Is this your improvisation?"
Bill took a deep breath and said, "You must remember this. This is the first nameless poem I wrote when I was conscious. It is engraved deep in my soul and should be the starting point of my life."
Little Yili: "..."
Sometimes, being smart is not easy.
It feels like the CPU is going to explode.
When the bell rings, the story in the gears will move towards the final stage. - "The Necromancer's Notebook, Volume 1"
…
Undead:
People have a past, present, and future.
People have childhood, youth, and old age.
When you abandon one of them, it will be left behind by you in the torrent of time.
It is the one-third of the dead that you have abandoned. Only the lucky ones who are on the verge of death can see them.
If you are one of the unfortunate third who are abandoned, please wait for the lucky one who takes you back.
Game Rules Code Warm reminder: Please don't abandon them, they are lonely and also longing for tomorrow's sun.
