After bidding farewell to Antonio, Du Ze and Xiu continued on their way. The questions that followed became more and more obscure, such as the name of the third emperor of the Moon Empire and how many people died in the Battle of Light. Rachel and Old John knew nothing about the human history, but fortunately, Xiu answered all the questions. Du Ze remembered that the author had written that Xiu's grades in the Magic and Martial Arts School were very good. Whether it was magic combat skills or theoretical knowledge, the cute master was the well-deserved first in the grade, so he aroused Princess Kelly's jealousy.

Du Ze glanced at the handsome but gloomy face of the lich beside him - being too good is not necessarily a good thing.

Du Zeyuan thought that this dungeon would be easy to pass by answering questions, but the facts told him that he was too naive. In this space that looks like a library, they need to guard against not the monsters in the dungeon, but the people who climb the tower like them. No one can be sure that they can answer all the questions of the statue. If they can't answer, they can't go to the next level. In addition to looking for answers in the vast sea of ​​books, all climbers have another choice, which is to rush to the next level - if they can't answer, it doesn't mean that the next batch of climbers who come can't solve the puzzle. As long as they rush in after the other party has answered the questions, or simply kill the other party, they will not be stuck.

Compared to searching for answers in more and more bookshelves, this method of passing the level is more efficient. Along the way, Du Ze and Xiu have met many climbers who tried to break through the level. For those who wanted to reap the benefits, Xiu was ruthless and killed them one by one. After dealing with another group of people who wanted to break through, Du Ze stared at the gradually disappearing corpses and felt a sense of mockery: there were basically no monsters that actively attacked in this dungeon, but the climbers chose to kill each other.

Everyone entered the portal, walked past the long bookshelf, and when they were about to reach the statue, they heard a noise coming from the front.

"Enoch!"

"Hey... don't worry, the thief won't... die that easily, cough cough!"

"Miss, get out of there! It's dangerous!"

Huh…?

Du Ze took two quick steps and turned around the bookshelf to see the Golden Mercenary Team under attack. Enoch, Mi'er and Bart were all there, and at this moment, the three of them were being attacked by the Sphinx. This was the case when they answered the question incorrectly. Only by destroying it could they wait for the next statue to refresh.

The situation of the three people is critical, and Mi'er is even caught by the Sphinx. Du Ze can't help but look at Xiu. The relationship between the mercenary team and Xiu can be said to be bad. He is not sure whether Xiu will save people.

Under Du Ze's watch, Xiu silently took out the Death Sickle, and with one swing, a black crescent-shaped blade flew towards the mercenary team, cutting off the statue's front claws just as it was about to crush Mi'er. Seeing Xiu had taken action, Old John and the others joined the battle without hesitation, and quickly dealt with the Sphinx.

Mi'er, who had escaped death, watched all this in shock. When she realized that she was not dead, the little girl burst into tears: "Wuwuwu... It's so scary! I want to leave the God Tower..."

Bart was trying to comfort Honey helplessly, while Enoch walked towards Xiu with a gloomy face and wanted to thank him.

"Thank you guys, brothers—Ah!" Enoch pointed at Duze and shouted, "You're here too?!"

Before Duze could respond, Enoch saw the phoenix on Duze's shoulder and Old John beside him, and immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Could it be that the scary dwarf is also nearby?!"

Old John smiled and didn't answer. Du Ze glanced at Xiu. It seemed that the cute master had left that idiot with severe psychological trauma.

Not seeing the dwarf, Enoch seemed to feel relieved and continued to talk to Du Ze in a silly way: "Hey! Where's Brother Xiu?"

The object of your fear and the object of your desire are both before you, Saonian.

Xiu looked at Enoch with his lifeless eyes. The thief subconsciously guarded himself, but heard the lich say, "I'm here."

Huh? Du Ze was a little surprised that Xiu actually responded to Enoch. Enoch looked at Xiu in a daze, then looked at Du Ze. Seeing Du Ze nodded to confirm his thoughts, Enoch began to speak incoherently: "Xiu, Xiu, why did you become like this?"

Xiu answered calmly: "An accident."

At this time, Bart came over with Honey, who had cried herself to sleep, and nodded to them. Enoch looked at Honey's face, which was still stained with tears, and seemed a little depressed.

"…What's wrong?"

"Teacher and Senior Belodis don't have much time left. I came here to see if there is any way to save them. Mi'er is here to help me." Enoch said with a frown, "I didn't expect it to be so dangerous here. Now I can't quit even if I want to."

Tower climbers can abandon their certificates and leave the tower, but they can only abandon them in the round hall, which is one of the reasons why the death rate in the tower is high. Once you enter the light gate, you can only die in the dungeon unless you clear it.

Xiu was silent for a while, then said: "I'll take you for a ride."

Du Ze couldn't help but glance at Xiu. Xiu didn't tell Enoch and the others that Antonio was looking for Mi'er.

Hearing Xiu's words, Enoch's eyes lit up instantly, and the fool happily handed the Black Flame of the Golden Mercenary Squad to Xiu.

"Excuse me, brother."

Du Ze vaguely saw the title of "professional teammate seller" rising above Enoch's head. As Enoch's new teammate, a certain silly cute suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Just like that, three more people joined their team. After many twists and turns, Enoch and others finally became the cute master's subordinates. This thief was unexpectedly familiar with various historical knowledge.

"Because if you don't know the historical background of the treasure, you can't judge whether it has 'value'." Enoch complained: "Back then, that old man asked me to carry historical data as high as a mountain, and he wouldn't give me food until I finished it!"

The "value" the thief mentioned was obviously the value of the stolen goods. Xiu glanced at Enoch. "You have good taste."

——Twice, he stole his most important treasure.

Enoch felt a little cold for some reason, and ran to Bart's side, instinctively keeping a distance from Xiu.

Mier woke up after a few levels. She was very happy to meet Xiu, a little girl who was taught by the first magic god and was good at different magic systems. After passing a few more levels, the group encountered difficulties again.

"Why did Edward kill his blood relative during the famous Bloody July incident?" asked the sphinx.

"How is it famous? I have never heard of it." Vera complained: "Why don't they ask some questions about the demons? Alice has read a lot of books, she is very familiar with this."

Alice smiled shyly beside him. Enoch thought for a while with a frown on his face, then said uncertainly: "This is a secret of the Star Empire. The teacher mentioned this matter, but did not explain it in detail."

"Stupid Enoch." Mier snorted, "I can't count on you!"

This was the second time Xiu and his group got stuck. This time, without Antonio's kind help, they could only search for the answer in the sea of ​​books according to Antonio's advice. Du Ze glanced around. There were too many bookshelves now. They were no longer winding like large intestines, but formed a maze around the statue. This kind of terrain is very conducive to hiding and attacking. I don't know whether the divine tower intentionally or unintentionally promotes the killing of climbers.

Faced with countless bookshelves and books, even if they would not scurry around like blind flies according to Enoch's information, it would still be too troublesome to search. Du Ze felt that he really needed a search engine at this time, and a certain stupid cuteness had to admit that it was a perfect idea to let other climbers help them answer questions and then challenge the level. Everyone discussed it for a while, because they didn't know when the next batch of climbers would appear, they decided to split into two groups, one group stayed at the statue, and the other group tried to search in the sea of ​​books. Although the hope was slim, it was better than staying where the group was and doing nothing.

Du Ze chose to join the search team. In addition to finding the answer to the question, he also wanted to find out if there was any information related to the God of Creation. Xiu never let Du Ze leave him too far, so Du Ze and Xiu were divided into one team in the search team. Except for the people who stayed behind, each team received a magic ball for communication and each chose an entrance to enter the bookshelf maze.

Although it was a maze, since each entrance led to the end, they would not get lost. Du Ze quickly scanned the bookshelf. The books on it were arranged in a relatively humane way according to a certain pattern, which made searching easier.

"Millennium War", "Dark Conspiracy", "Isolated Age", "A Brief History of the Stars"...

Du Ze stopped walking, took out the "A Brief History of the Stars", opened the catalog and started reading. This book roughly describes the history of the Star Empire, and Bloody July is mentioned a little bit. It says that in order to ensure peace and prosperity, Edward had to kill his tyrant father to ascend the throne. Du Ze looked at the "A Brief History of the Stars" in his hand, and always felt that something was wrong - because it was too official. Du Ze, who was influenced by the official since childhood, knew very well that it was not that the official was untrustworthy, but because it was the official, it would always cover up some dark sides.

Du Ze felt that he seemed to be looking in the wrong direction. Since Enoch said it was a secret, he certainly couldn't look for the answer in these history books. History is always written by the victors. They are history, but not necessarily true. Du Ze scanned the bookshelf again and found that the area in front was a biography. He scanned it again and finally found Edward's autobiography on a bookshelf.

After a quick read of the autobiography, Du Ze could only sigh that the aristocratic circle was really chaotic. Edward's father, Charles, also killed his father to ascend to the throne. Because of this reason, Charles was particularly jealous of his own children, suppressing the princes everywhere, and even trying to control his children with drugs. Edward was the best among the princes. He found a way to get rid of the control of drugs, and then usurped the throne in July. The result was very successful. Charles died and Edward ascended the throne. However, when Edward sat on that position, he suddenly deeply understood his father's fear, and for this reason, Edward killed all his brothers.

——In the famous Bloody July incident, why did Edward kill his blood relative with his own hands?

Because of selfishness. Like Charles, Edward could not tolerate anyone who threatened his throne.

Du Ze turned the book to the last page, on which was Edward's monologue.

[Loneliness, loneliness is the king, loneliness is unique, the unique king must always accept loneliness, and does not need anyone's recognition and understanding.] Almost subconsciously, Du Ze thought of the protagonist of "Mixed Blood". He turned his head, but did not see Xiu.

Du Ze:?

At the corner of the bookshelf, Du Ze found Xiu. The lich was standing in front of the bookshelf, holding a book in both hands and reading it seriously. Du Ze glanced at the title of the book - "The Application of Combination Magic".

Noticing Du Ze's arrival, Xiu closed the book in his hand and put it back. Seeing Du Ze staring at the book in confusion, Xiu explained calmly, "I read this book before in school, but I left before I could finish it."

Xiu's voice didn't have much ups and downs, or even much emotion, but it made Du Ze feel very uncomfortable.

When Xiu got stuck for the first time, he couldn't answer because he hadn't finished learning. He left because those people couldn't accept Xiu as a ghost. Even though Xiu's essence hadn't changed much, everyone only saw his ghostly appearance and chose to expel him.

Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

It felt like a needle was piercing his heart, causing a throbbing pain. Du Ze took the initiative to hold Xiu's hand. The skin under his palm, which had no body temperature at all, made him feel even more heartbroken. He couldn't help but clench his hands, trying to warm the lich's cold hands.

"We can go back after we leave this tower." Du Ze suggested. He said to Xiu seriously, "I will accompany you to do what you haven't finished yet."

If you have not finished learning something, go back to school and learn it again; if you have not finished doing something, go back and continue doing it - even if you can't go back to the past, you can still make up for some regrets, right?

Xiu lowered his eyes, staring at the two people's clasped hands, the soul fire flickering faintly in his lead-black eyes.

"Are you comforting me?"

After hearing Xiusha's hoarse statement, a certain socially challenged fool felt nervous - could he have messed up?

The lich's expression was always gloomy. Du Ze watched with wide eyes as Xiu stretched out his pale fingers, stroked his face, and then lifted his chin.

"Then comfort me a little more." Xiu said softly, his voice almost whispering.

He leaned down and pressed his bloodless lips on Du Ze's. Du Ze felt like a soft snow falling on his mouth, cold and icy, as if it would melt in his mouth. He couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the other's lips. Xiu lured the tongue that was carefully extended into his mouth and sucked it gently as if he was holding a piece of honey that he was reluctant to swallow.

This kiss was unusually long, and even though it wasn't intense, Du Ze felt like he was about to suffocate in the end. Xiu hugged Du Ze, who was breathing heavily, and put his hand into Du Ze's clothes. At that moment, Du Ze felt like a piece of ice suddenly stuck to his belly button, and he shuddered violently.

Xiu felt the delicate trembling of his skin. His eyes were very dark, as if they had absorbed all the light around them.

"No breath, no temperature, isn't this form scary?"

Du Ze hugged Xiu tightly and shook his head vigorously.

"You are Xiu."

That's enough.

Xiu closed his eyes. How should we describe this person?

He thought of the thin sunlight he had seen in the orphanage, which melted the ice on the window bit by bit until it shone on his body, as if warming his heart.

It is a presence that is more dazzling than light.

This was the only person who had saved him since their first meeting.

Du Ze felt Xiu's hand reaching down. Although he didn't mind doing it with Xiu, wasn't this location a little inappropriate?

"Someone will come..."

Xiu chanted a spell, and a ball of ghost fire ignited, transforming into a ghost and floating in the direction he came from.

"I'll know if someone comes." Xiu pressed Du Ze against the bookshelf, his slightly cool hands wandering all over Du Ze's body. "You're warm..."

That's because you have no body temperature. Du Ze felt uncomfortable when he thought of what Xiu said before. He even hoped that the body temperature of the person in front of him could return to normal due to physical contact.

Because of the location, Xiu only unbuttoned Du Ze's pants. After he stretched Du Ze, he lifted him up in the air. Du Ze had to hold Xiu's neck with both hands and his legs around Xiu's waist, feeling the cold hardness gradually squeeze into his body - compared to the previous hot times, this invasion made him feel very strange, like holding a popsicle in his mouth. Du Ze couldn't help but hug Xiu tightly, but no matter what was inside him or the person he was holding, he could only feel a chill.

That is the temperature of death.

"Does it hurt?"

Xiu wrote a magic spell on Du Ze, which instantly burned and wrapped Du Ze. The pain caused by the invasion of foreign objects disappeared instantly. Du Ze recognized that this was the necromancy magic that Xiu had used on him during the experiment. Being used again in this situation, Du Ze didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At that time, he never thought that he would go to this point with Xiu. Now it's not him who talks to the author about life, but the author who talks to him about life - his own protagonist is gay with the reader, how can he tolerate this!

Without the interference of pain, other senses are particularly vivid. Stimulated by the cold temperature, the inner wall is slightly numb. Xiu slowly went in and out several times, and the cold penis finally became a little warm due to the friction and the wrapping of the inner wall. He hugged Du Ze and pressed him against the bookshelf, pushing up hard. Because of the body position, Du Ze always felt that he would fall, so he had to wrap his hands and legs around Xiu, and was shaken up and down by Xiu's bumps. The numb inner wall gradually softened due to the friction, and a sweet tingling sensation spread from the back to the whole body. Du Ze couldn't help but curl up even his toes.

"Um……"

The foreign substance in his body had gradually become consistent with his body temperature, and for a moment Du Ze couldn't even tell the difference. Du Ze let out a small low moan, and even though he knew this wasn't a real library and no one would come, he subconsciously lowered his voice, his nerves always in a state of tension. The soul fire in Xiu's dull eyes suddenly jumped, and being so tightly constricted, even he couldn't help it. The already hot penis thrust out repeatedly, Xiu wanted the flesh walls that wrapped around him to be less tight and less entangled, almost as if to melt him and keep him.

After being held like this for a while, Du Ze buried his face in Xiu's shoulder and ejaculated while panting. His vagina tightened due to ejaculation, and Xiu did not restrain himself much, and climaxed with Du Ze. Du Ze was stimulated by the cold liquid, and his clone trembled and vomited some white turbidity after venting. When Xiu put him down, his legs were so weak that he trembled and almost fell to the ground.

"I'll help you get it out." Xiu supported Du Ze and reached his finger into the back. "It's not good for that thing to be inside you."

The cold liquid dripped onto the floor, and after a while it turned into black smoke. The undead had no physiological mechanism, it was just a substance simulated by the dead air. After being cleaned up, even with Xiu's support, a certain stupid cute still walked like he was floating. However, Du Ze didn't have a chance to rest, because the magic ball used for communication suddenly began to flash rapidly.

This meant that something unexpected had occurred and they had to gather at the statue immediately.

The author has something to say: The explanation of loneliness in the article comes from Baidu Encyclopedia, and is hereby noted.
