hell make me fall in love

Thick clouds covered the sky, and it was dark all around.

This is an old road in the mountains and forests that leads to nowhere. It is full of lush green trees and weeds. Only the road in front of them is a long dirt road without flowers or grass.

This dirt road is full of potholes, scattered stones and branches, and dead old tree trunks are lying in the middle of the road. If you look closely, you can find that most of the horizontal old tree trunks have been corroded by time.There are endless trees and weeds on both sides of the road. Those weeds are untended and grow crazily, almost as high as an adult's waist.

The wind kept blowing past them, rustling the lush tree shadows.

Liu Xu stood there, speechless for a long time.

He was also holding Shen Anxing in one hand, and the things needed for the trial in the other.

Shen Anxing didn't dare to speak either, and turned to glance at him furtively, and saw Liu Xu with a complicated expression, the corner of his mouth twitching as he looked at the deep forest scene in front of him.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Xu held back his words: "Is there something wrong with him?"

Knowing that he was talking about Chen Liye, Shen Anxing smiled helplessly, and said, "It's true that I owe you a beating."

"He really doesn't do anything about personnel matters." Liu Xu cursed with an ugly face, then adjusted his glasses, posted a note to Shen Anxing, then turned his head and pointed to the road in front of them, saying , "Shall we go along this road to that side first?"

"It should be, but wait a moment." Shen Anxing said, "There is something I need to explain to you, and I haven't said it before."

Liu Xu turned around and looked at Shen Anxing: "What's the matter?"

"That's right, Yang Hua."

While speaking, Shen Anxing gently grasped his hand wearing the ring, raised it up, and lifted up the ring on his own hand, showed it to him together, and said: "I didn't tell you before, it's because of this that I can go to hell with you, so don't take it off your hands."

Liu Xu saw that his ring was so rusted that he could hardly see its original shape, but the one on Shen Anxing's finger was still the same as before, shining brightly with silver light.

The corners of Liu Xu's eyes twitched, something shook in his eyes.

Shen Anxing didn't notice, he looked down at his ring, and said: "Besides, the next thing is the most important thing, I didn't come in as an ordinary participant."

"...?"

Liu Xu was suddenly brought back to his senses by his words, he was startled, and asked: "What do you mean, "general participant"? You mean that you are not the same as a participant, but you are still a participant?"

"Yes." Shen Anxing said, "I established a connection with you by relying on this ring, and came in with you. But I am a night watchman after all, and I am not qualified as a participant, so I cheated of your participation You can come in with you only if you have the status of a vigilante. That is to say, to the night watchmen and NPCs, you are Liu Xu, and so am I."

Liu Xu: "..."

Shen Anxing knew that it would take some time to digest this amount of information, so he didn't go any further, and quietly closed his mouth, waiting for Liu Xu to understand.

After Liu Xu was silent for a moment, he almost understood the meaning.He bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "You said "for the night watchmen and NPCs", then listen to what you said, for other participants, isn't that the case?"

"That's right." Shen Anxing said blithely, "For them, our session is nineteen participants."

"...how do you explain that?"

"It doesn't matter, the participants are all wearing sins. After there are too many hells, they will become very vigilant and sensitive, and they will find explanations for themselves." Shen Anxing continued, "For example, among the participants Ghosts or something—but they're right, I'm not alive either."

Liu Xu: "..."

Liu Xu didn't say a word, she lowered her head and began to meditate.

Shen Anxing knew what he was thinking without even thinking about it, so he asked, "Do you want to open the skylight and speak honestly from the beginning?"

"I was thinking." Liu Xu said, "After all, if they think there are ghosts in it, people will lose their minds, right? That doesn't seem to be good for customs clearance."

"I personally suggest that you don't." Shen Anxing said, "Unlike you, most of the participants are wearing the body of guilt, and suspicion of each other is a common thing here, and, unlike you, the identity of night watchman is very important to most of the participants. It's not very friendly to the participants, and probably won't win trust at all. If they think you lied and I'm your means of harming others, they will probably kill you before you idea."

After saying this, Shen Anxing said again in a fluttering voice: "Think about that Nan."

"..."

Liu Xu was speechless and funny: "Her name is Qi Nan."

"It's all the same anyway." Shen Anxing said, "Can you guarantee that there are no such participants?"

"That's right." Liu Xu said, "Then let's take it one step at a time, and after confirming the characters of all the participants, decide whether to talk about it or not?"

Shen Anxing nodded: "Yes. But I haven't finished yet. In this state between you and me, there is one point that is not very good, that is, no matter who you or I trigger the mechanism and provoke ghosts or NPCs, In the end, they will all find you alone."

"……why."

"After all, I'm just a ghost who has lost my identity. To put it more simply, I'm just a ghost." Shen Anxing said, "You can understand me as your "shadow", and no one who beats someone will stare at you. The shadow did it, right?"

Liu Xu's face turned pale.

"Don't worry." Shen Anxing said to him, "I will protect you. Moreover, if you have any tasks that must be done, I can also do them for you in your name."

"...No need." Liu Xu said, "You don't have to risk your life for me."

Shen Anxing: "..."

I'm already dead.

These words lingered in his mind for a while, and when he was about to blurt out, they suddenly choked in his throat.

...Forget it, don't talk about it.

Shen Anxing's Adam's apple twitched, and the tip of his tongue turned, neither agreeing nor refusing, turned his head and said ambiguously: "Let's talk about the situation, let's go forward first."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Liu Xu up.

The coldness in his hands came over all of a sudden.I don't know if it's a delusion, Liu Xu inexplicably felt that his hands were getting colder.

He frowned, but didn't say anything, and let him drag him forward.

Shen Anxing walked straight forward. Seeing this, Liu Xu said, "Are you sure it's this side, could it be the back?"

Shen An didn't even look back: "Look back."

Liu Xu was startled, and obediently looked back.

Turning around, he saw that about ten meters behind the place where they were standing just now, there was a huge stone lying there, directly cutting off the road in the middle, almost saying "this road is blocked." "Four large characters were pasted up.

Liu Xu: "... Excuse me."

Shen Anxing laughed, didn't say anything, and then pulled him forward.

Liu Xu glanced at him, curled her lips, and looked down at the hands they were holding together.

That happened to be Shen Anxing's hand wearing the ring, and it also happened to be Liu Xu's hand wearing the ring.

He had noticed it as early as in Iceberg Hell, and Shen Anxing must have noticed the rusty ring on his hand as early as the beginning.

The two of them tacitly did not say anything, but Liu Xu knew that Shen Anxing must also remember.

This ring was bought in the summer seven years ago.

Seven years ago, after they finished the college entrance examination, Shen Anxing confessed to him seriously and formally. Although he stuttered and his face was redder than the sunset in the sky at that time, he finally said it out.

Liu Xu agreed, and then he took Shen Anxing to the mall and bought this pair of rings.

They still don't know that parting from life and death is just around the corner. When they were young, there were people coming and going in the mall, the big trees beside the school were in full bloom, and on the way from the dormitory to the teaching building, the street lamps cast a warm yellow light every night. .

At that time, only a few people knew that they were in love, but there were many things silently witnessing their love.

They fell in love that year, and their love was passionate.

That day, Shen Anxing told him that he loved him.

Shen Anxing also told him that in two days, when Liu Xu celebrates his birthday, he will give him a surprise.

Shen Anxing was in a panic that day, he talked a lot.He said that the college entrance examination should be okay, and he can go to that school.He said that when he went to that school, he would rent a house outside. He said that he would like Liu Xu very much. He said that he would take Liu Xu here and there. He said that he had nothing, but he would live a good life. Whatever he would give Liu Xu...

He said a lot that day, Liu Xu remembered every word.

But in the end, all of these came to naught with the harsh whistle.

But now, of these two rings, one is rusty and rotten, while the other is still as bright as ever.

Liu Xu's has been eroded by time to the point where it can no longer be seen as it was before, while Shen Anxing's is just like him, staying in the original years forever.

The ardor of the year was wasted by time and turned into a sad calm, leaving nothing but a sense of loss.

They all knew that it would definitely be full of sorrow to bring up the matter of this ring again, and it was not easy to meet again, so there was no need to rub salt on the wound.

They are trying their best to avoid what happened seven years ago, and neither of them wants to mention things that will make the other sad.

When Liu Xu bought these two rings, he never thought that there would be today.

He lowered his eyes and clenched Shen Anxing's hand a little bit.

The bone-chilling coldness spread to his palm even more intensely, Liu Xu clenched his teeth and refused to let go one bit.
