Xiao Huai raised his head and drew a very light line on his lips.

"I'm betting everything I have, from body to mind, from soul to spirit. I'm betting that one day, you'll want to exist because of me, breathe because of me, and your heartbeat because of me."

Time began to slow down from that moment on. The sound of breathing, the sound of wind, the sound of blood flowing... everything gradually became slow, even tending to stop.

A soul contract emitting golden light appeared in his hand.

This is the highest level soul contract.

Once signed, there is absolutely no room for regret.

There is no winner in this bet.

Lu Yuanshi suddenly laughed out loud.

Xiao Huai raised his eyes and looked at him, but only saw Lu Yuanshi reaching out and tapping him on the forehead.

"what--"

Xiao Huai took a step back. Being hit on the forehead hurt the most. He covered his forehead with his hands. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Yuanshi smiling brightly.

Very pure.

There is no falsehood at all.

"Gamblers can't steal it." He smiled until tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and put his knuckles at the corners of his eyes, half-closed his eyes.

Lu Yuanshi approached him and seemed to say something, but at that moment, the crows were released from the backpack.

The cries, the flapping of wings, and the shouts of the players echoed across the desert.

Xiao Huai's voice was drowned out as he stared at Lu Yuan.

"What did you just say?"

When the crowd's voices died down a little, Xiao Huai asked in a low voice.

Lu Yuanshi shook his head: "I didn't intend for you to hear it."

Xiao Huai: "..."

When Xiao Huai squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Yuan, he was very curious, but now was not the best time to satisfy his curiosity.

There is ample time.

Maybe Lu Yuanshi appeared in his life just by coincidence.

I almost got serious just now.

I almost gambled on something I was not good at at all.

How could he, a man who knew nothing about love, easily make others exist because of him, breathe because of him, and have their hearts beat because of him?

Xiao Huai's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and he took a deep breath inwardly.

What did I just say?

I feel inexplicably ashamed.

But his face remained expressionless.

Only the tips of her ears were slightly pink.

Without thinking twice, he took the contract and walked into the crowd.

On the other side, Cheng Shan had released nearly a hundred crows.

Everyone used a big net to catch them, and there was a bit of longing in their eyes when they looked at the crows.

They are really about to die of thirst and hunger if this continues.

We are really losing our humanity.

Cheng Shan panted, with a satisfied smile on his face: "That's great, this way I don't have to worry about dying of thirst on the road."

When night fell, everyone shared the crow, and everyone was smiling more or less.

Even the players who were afraid of Xiao Huai before would ask: "Um... Azhuolang, do you want to eat something too?"

Perhaps because Xiao Huai was much better than expected, some people began to have a good impression of him.

Especially Lu Zhi.

He even dealt with a crow in advance and handed a goblet filled with blood to Xiao Huai.

"This...this is what I prepared. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you."

Xiao Huai looked at Lu Zhi, wondering why his face was still so red.

Could this also be one of the aftereffects of the soul worm?

He took the goblet and said calmly, "Thank you."

The corners of her mouth are slightly raised, and her eyebrows and eyes have a lingering beauty.

The other players were all peeking over here, their eyes widening slightly.

It turns out that Azhuolang can smile so normally and beautifully.

Over the course of the night, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

As long as there is no conflict of interest, humans can still maintain superficial kindness.

Once their interests are threatened, they become enemies.

Just for a brief moment.

----

At night, everyone goes to sleep.

That night, Xiao Huai couldn't sleep. He left the crowd alone and looked up at the vast sky.

The stars kept twinkling, as if they were going to swallow everything.

The wound on his left hand had clearly stopped bleeding before, but now it began to sting.

It was as if an invisible knife grew out of the air, tearing the wound bit by bit.

Xiao Huai untied the bandage wrapped around his left hand, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.

The moment he landed, it was as if a sleeping spirit had been awakened. The sandy ground within a one-meter radius with him as the center was emitting a faint blue light.

Like the bright moonlight.

moon.

Xiao Huai raised his head and saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

Rule 4: "Please don't look directly at the moon for too long. It's dangerous."

He kept staring at the moon, and the faint blue light became deeper and deeper.

Xiao Huai kept a calm heart, and all the details were magnified infinitely.

He smelled a faint scent.

That strange aroma.

[Warning, Spirit value decreased by 1 point, currently 90]

After arriving at the "Witch's House" copy, Xiao Huai's spirit value only recovered a little naturally.

Staring at the moon actually reduces your mental level.

Rule four is most likely correct.

But what if he keeps staring?

He suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from all around.

The blue light enveloped him strangely.

The tip of his ear moved slightly, and he heard it.

I heard people talking.

It is not the voice of the players, but the most primitive sound that can only be heard in the market.

"Fruit is three cents a pound."

"Give me two pounds of this."

Xiao Huai suddenly came to his senses and looked around. There was nothing except a faint blue light.

But what did he just hear?

It's definitely not an auditory hallucination.

He glanced at the ground and saw a small blue bug the size of a finger lying on his leg, its two antennae twitching constantly.

Xiao Huai grabbed the insect's two tentacles and lifted it in front of his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the blue worm.

In the moonlight, you can even see its internal organs clearly.

Is this the soul worm?

The next second, the soul worm seemed to have left its body, its shell became shriveled, and the white smoke that came out penetrated into the wound on Xiao Huai's left hand.

Xiao Huai's pupils dilated slightly.

The sounds in my ears became louder and louder.

"They are coming, help, run!!"

"Live, you must live..."

"What a nice view--"

The children seemed to be smiling bitterly: "Here...we can't grow up."

Xiao Huai seemed to be dragged by some force. He was many times more sensitive than Lu Zhi. All kinds of dreamy images broke through his five senses and penetrated into his mind.

Numbing hallucinations followed.

It was even more dizzying than eating countless hallucinogenic mushrooms raw. He even couldn't tell the directions for a moment.

In the illusion, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky, and in the prosperous ancient capital, children are running and playing.

He raised his head and looked directly at the sun. Suddenly, a completely black three-legged bird swooped down from under the sun and flew towards Xiao Huai at the speed of a bullet.

Xiao Huai's pupils shrank slightly and he bit his lips hard!

The moment the blood was squeezed out.

The hallucination is gone.

What followed was an overwhelming feeling of dizziness and nausea.

My ears were filled with system notifications: [Warning, Spirit Value is decreasing... Currently 87]

[Warning, Spirit value continues to decline, currently at... 85]

Xiao Huai raised his hand.

I saw densely packed green insects lying on my left hand, trying hard to drill into the wound.
