Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and people subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound. When they turned around, they found that the person they were looking for to interview had appeared here at some point, holding a pretty girl.

But it was different from what they expected, the posture between the two of them was really a bit strange.

And Mr. Chu of the Dark Horse Company, who was rumored to have a bad temper and never show his emotions, now had a look of grief on his face.

The girl in his arms hugged him tightly, and at this moment, there was a large area of ​​bright red on her back.

The black-clothed man with the knife saw that the person he was going to stab had changed from Chu Xi to this suddenly appearing woman, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. However, his tracks had been exposed now, and he could no longer continue. Just when he turned around and was about to escape without caring about the knife, the guards from the building followed closely and ran over at once. After several chases, they finally captured him.

“Call an ambulance!”

"Mu Ci, wake up, don't sleep, Mu Ci! Don't sleep!"

Chu Xi gently patted the person in his arms who was slowly falling into coma. His usual calmness and composure were completely gone. Even his well-fitting and tidy suit was in disarray. His forehead was covered in sweat and his face had lost all color with fear.

His face seemed even paler than Mu Ci who was injured in his arms.

Along the way, Chu Xi kept calling Mu Ci's name, as if he was afraid that if he called it less, the person lying there so quietly and quietly would never wake up again.

At this moment, Mu Ci's physical condition was sealed, but his consciousness was still clear.

The system told her that this time she was really leaving this world. No matter what the reason was, she could not stay in this world.

Some of her main plots have already been completed, and her mission has been accomplished, so there is no need for her to stay in this world anymore.

Moreover, as the tasker completes his task, the virtual world will automatically react synchronously. As soon as she leaves, everything here will turn into sapphire photons and disappear in the entire virtual world.

The system's mechanical voice reappeared in the depths of Mu Ci's consciousness.

There was something coldly businesslike about its sound.

"So, 054, do you understand? No matter how you feel in your heart, your mission is now completed, this world has come to an end, and soon, everything will become nothingness."

Mu Ci remained silent and said nothing.

She understood all these things, but some things were beyond her control. She tried hard to exclude everything, but some things and some people were completely beyond her expectations.

"This kind of test is a road that every newcomer must go through. 054, this world only has one day left for you. I hope you can handle all your affairs well. On the second day, you will automatically pop out of this world, and this world will collapse and disappear bit by bit."

After the system finished explaining the matter, it fell silent.

Before Mu Ci could react, when she opened her eyes again, she was already lying on the hospital bed. The man beside her seemed to be on the phone.

He seemed to have not had a rest for a long time, just like a few years ago.

But this time, the situation is different from last time. This time she is really going to leave this world.

When Chu Xi saw Mu Ci woke up, he said something to the person on the other end of the phone, hung up immediately, and hurried over to Mu Ci's side.

But when it came to Mu Ci, I suddenly felt a little at a loss and didn't know what to say.

Mu Ci was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen tube inserted in his body, staring at Chu Xi quietly. There was no other unnecessary emotion in his eyes, he just looked at her calmly.

There seems to be a kind of gentleness that is peaceful and eternal.

"I will definitely heal you."

Chu Xi leaned over slightly, then put his fingers in Mu Ci's hair, stroked it gently a few times, and then said firmly.

He said this lightly but with great determination.

Mu Ci was close to him, but she noticed the trembling hidden deep inside. She looked at him for a long time, and then suddenly said with effort: "Chu Xi... take me to see the place I have been to before... "

Her voice was as thin as a thread, as if saying this sentence had almost consumed all her strength.

As she finished speaking, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she was so calm, as if she had expected this day to come.

Chu Xi looked at her like this, and his eyes felt swollen and painful.

In fact, Mu Ci's condition was very strange. The knife stabbed her back and the wound was not deep, but for some reason, her physical condition began to weaken at a noticeable speed along with the knife wound.

Even now, when she spoke, her voice was weak and she had no strength at all in her body.

Chu Xi consulted many people and even invited foreign experts to take a look, but no one could explain this strange phenomenon.

But they could all conclude that her current physical condition would only allow her to last for one day.

Su's mother and father don't know about this yet, because Mu Ci told Chu Xi in advance when he was injured, asking her not to tell them about this first.

In fact, the time she spent with Su's mother and father was not very long. It was even short compared to her previous mission world, and there was also the role of the time machine.

She was grateful for their love for the original owner, so before this world was about to disappear, she didn't want them to be sad for her. It was good enough now.

As for Chu Xi...

Chu Xi stared at her for a long time, then turned around and went outside the ward and found a corner, squatting there. He pinched the cigarette between his slender fingertips, lit it, and smoked for a long time, puff by puff, frowning.

Finally, he got rid of most of the smell on his body, rinsed his mouth, and then went back.

Chu Xi has never smoked much. Normally, he would only smoke a few cigarettes when he had no choice. Normally, he never touches cigarettes.

He felt that the stuff was harmful to the body and smelled bad, so there was nothing good to inhale.

But this time, he needed to use it to make himself more sober and think carefully about what decision to make.

When Chu Xi arrived at the ward, he had already recovered to his usual state. He even took a special shower and tidied up his appearance. Then he walked to Mu Ci's side and gently picked her up.

"Come on, I'll take you to see it."

No matter where you are, I will be with you.

In this world, schools are generally closed for the holidays. Chu Xi informed the school leaders in advance and was allowed in.

He carried Mu Ci to the first high school, where they had met again. Mu Ci didn't have the strength to speak, she quietly lay on Chu Xi's warm back, her face resting on his neck, listening to him talk about what happened in the past bit by bit.

From the corner, the basketball court, the corridor on the fifth floor, the campus cafeteria, and even the playground where Mu Ci accidentally mentioned that they were dating for the first time.

Chu Xi carried Mu Ci on his back with great patience as he walked every section of the road. Every time he walked a section of the road, he would call her name softly again, as if he was confirming her existence, as if she would turn into smoke and fly away if he was not careful.

Mu Ci lay on his back, leaning against him softly, and responded softly every time.

"Muci, are you listening?"

"exist."

"Muci, are you listening?"

"Um."

…

In this way, Zi Chuxi talked about the things between them, some interesting things about his former classmates, and even a little bit about the future.

Time passed quickly, and it was already afternoon.

After leaving the school, Chu Xi put Mu Ci in the car. He gently tidied up her slightly messy hair, fastened her seat belt, and then leaned in, as if treating a precious but fragile treasure, and gave her a kiss on the forehead that could not be gentler.

He said.

"I'll take you somewhere."

There, my secrets are kept. It is also my most precious treasure besides you.

Chu Xi took Mu Ci to a place, a small villa, with a large space, an independent courtyard, and even a small garden. The furniture inside was also very complete, and it seemed that everything had been renovated. It was in a unified villa area, with excellent public security and a very good environment. It was a very suitable place for long-term residence.

Mu Ci held the door and looked inside slowly, and found that almost every piece of furniture inside, including the overall design style, was what he liked. Is this the gift that Chu Xi has been preparing?

Unfortunately, the person I want to give it to is myself.

Chu Xi didn't care about these things. He took him directly to a room. However, when he opened the door, Mu Ci was a little dull, but he still felt Chu Xi's nervousness.

After the door slowly opened, Mu Ci's eyes were filled with shock when he saw the scene inside.

"These..."

“These are all you.”

This is a very large room. The first impression when seeing inside is that it looks like a large art exhibition hall, but the most common painting inside is a pair of familiar eyes.

Mu Ci could recognize that this was himself, and even there were many bits of his younger self in it.

"I didn't tell you that I had a head injury before, so I don't know why, but I have completely forgotten your memory. I just vaguely remember that there was such a person. This person is very important to me, and I must not forget her."

Chu Xi glanced at Mu Ci after he finished speaking, and then continued, "I only remember a pair of familiar eyes, so that's why I deliberately chatted with you every time later."

Mu Ci looked at him like this and stared at him blankly.

She didn't expect that the person in front of her had been looking for her for so long.

Chu Xi whispered, subconsciously holding Mu Ci's hand, and then said: "But fortunately, fortunately you still remember me, fortunately we are still together in the end."

There is a bench over in the small garden, and everything there has been arranged very well. In addition to other places around the flowerbed, there are also many plants that are very easy to grow. There is also a ready-made swing on the other side. The whole yard exudes a quiet beauty.

Chu Xi pulled Mu Ci to sit on the bench. Mu Ci was already feeling a little exhausted at the moment. She even had difficulty keeping her eyelids open. It seemed that time was almost up.

She leaned on Chu Xi's shoulder and raised her head weakly to look at his handsome profile.

With a deep sense of attachment and reluctance.

This person is the first one in her life who has always followed her and protected her no matter what happened.

He was also the first person for whom she would even like to stop at this moment and stay in this virtual world to cuddle with.

At this moment, she seemed to understand those people who failed in their missions in the virtual world. They lost their emotions in the virtual world and wanted to stubbornly hold the sweetest candy in the world in their hands.

Even if the candy was made of a sword.

Mu Ci withdrew his gaze, tilted his head and leaned on Chu Xi, looking up at the sky with tired eyes.

At this moment, large patches of red clouds appeared in the sky, and orange light shone through the thick halo and illuminated the two people.

It is eye-catching and looks like a gorgeous curtain call.

The two of them snuggled together, looking at the light in the sky that seemed to shine through everything, quietly, holding hands tightly.

There is nothing in the world but you.

Mu Ci curled the corners of her lips, the orange light shone on her fair face, making her look soft and peaceful. She smiled and slowly closed her eyes.

The other hand slid down helplessly.

There was no expression on Chu Xi's face at this moment.

He maintained that posture without moving, his hands clenched tightly, for a long time, and a tear fell on their clasped hands.

The boy's hoarse and low voice echoed in the quiet little garden.

"I'm always with you."

No matter which world you go to,

No matter who you are,

No matter what you become.

The world of thousands,

I want to find you too.
