【Quan Zhen】According to the script, we should kiss now?

Sena unloaded all the equipment on the horse's back, then took off the reins and saddle, stroked the mane of his beloved horse and said: "If I haven't come out in three days, you can go, don't be in this kind of place. Death in a ghost place."

As if the steed had sensed its master's intentions, it reluctantly arched its head on his shoulders, while Sena just showed a rare gentle expression, patiently patted its neck and softly comforted it.At this moment, Yuki felt that he was still the Sena Izumi who was always gentle to animals.The German Shepherd next to him came over and licked the back of his hand, Youmu stroked its head, and then looked at the dark entrance, everything seemed less scary.

Walking into the gate, the two were greeted by stone steps extending all the way down, and the front was hidden in the bottomless darkness.Sena lit a torch to lead the charge, and Lobster followed Yuki vigilantly.They walked for a while, and the slope under their feet gradually slowed down. At the end of the stone steps was a narrow tunnel only the width of one person's shoulders.

"Change the lobster to the front." Yuki wanted to take the torch from Sena, and noticed the other party's hesitation, he smiled firmly, "I am more familiar with places like mazes and tombs than Mr. Sena."

The stone tunnel is very narrow, just crawling forward is very difficult, Yuki can't even walk forward with a bag on his back, he wants to take off the backpack and tie it on his feet, but Sena can't help but snatch it, signaling Yuki to go through the tunnel quickly .There are water bottles, sleeping bags and notebooks in the backpack, which are heavy and will be very hard to drag, but Sena doesn't even frown.

I don't know how long the long silent crawl lasted. The lobster in the lead suddenly screamed a few times and disappeared in front of Youmu.

Connected with the stone path is a wide hall with a very low ceiling and vague lines carved on the walls. You Mu leaned up to take a closer look and found some weird murals. Most of the paint was peeled off. The lines were deep and shallow, obviously Has experienced many vicissitudes.

Sena also came over to look at the wall, frowned and said, "It's really an uncomfortable mural."

Yuki took it for granted, just the wall illuminated by the firelight was full of scenes of killing and death with different techniques, it was like a collection of ancient criminal laws.The two tacitly looked away, focusing on the closed door.The stone door is very high, the top of the door is connected to the ceiling, and there seems to be no hidden mechanism like the entrance around it.There is also a series of pictures and texts engraved on the gate, which seems to be related to the murals.

A system prompt window pops up in front of you: {Investigate the mural. }

It seems that if you want to move on, you have to find clues from these weird patterns, Yumu thought so, he raised the torch and wanted to walk around the room, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't lift it up, he couldn't help but staggered and fell down, Fortunately, Sena picked it up.

"Sorry..." Yumu said embarrassedly, the soles of his feet seemed to be stepping on a thick sponge, which made him lose his center of gravity, "Maybe I'm tired from climbing for too long."

Sena looked at him carefully, and suddenly asked: "Chest tightness?"

Youmu was stunned, the other party's words seemed to remind him that he felt dizzy and uncomfortable from just now, he thought it was the lack of oxygen caused by keeping a low posture and crawling for too long, but after thinking about it carefully, all the discomfort came from this room. The hall just started, and even the lobster was a bit out of order, very restless, even a little startled.

"One thing, I have no strength in my limbs." Youmu glanced at the torch, the flame at the top was even smaller than in the tunnel, "Maybe the ventilation is too poor and the oxygen is thin, the further you go in, the situation will get worse."

"We'd better improve our efficiency," Sena said, "You Jun is looking for clues here, I'll go next door and have a look."

You Mu followed his line of sight to the ear room next to it, it was darker than the hall, maybe it was full of traps, it would be too dangerous to rush in.

The system pops up a key branch selection: {Let the lobster accompany Sena; let the lobster stay where it is. }

Demu, who has always been calm and reliable, became uneasy at this moment. You Mu didn't think it was wise to let him go to the ear room, but he didn't feel at ease to let Sena go alone. He wanted to say that the two of them could act together, but As if reading his mind, Sena shook her head and said, "Time is limited, I'll just go, You Jun, don't waste your energy."

Youmu had no choice but to nod: "If there is a situation, just yell or shoot."

Sena smiled, as if asking Yuki for help was a very novel and interesting thing.He lit the fire and left, Yuki stroked the lobster's head reassuringly, and began to study the murals.

The result of the realistic experience of the player mode is that when the fountain pen runs out of ink, you have to replace the refill by yourself.Youmu opened the backpack, and suddenly found a tightly sealed document bag, which he wanted to see but failed to see when he first entered the game, but now he can open it.

The file bag is very heavy, and inside are three neatly bound research notes, all of which are obviously written by You Muzhen of this world line. The contents are all about the research results of the legendary rock lake water sand palace, and even the language and characters of the lost civilization. All are recorded.With the help of these notes, Yuki quickly understood the meaning of the murals. These are indeed about death, but not to punish the crimes of that era, but to all "intruders" who tried to explore this underground palace. It is a kind of mechanism trap, and there are probably hundreds of ways to die in the entire underground palace.Youmu flicked through the notes in a hurry. It turns out that the maze is divided into sections as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. There are twelve kinds of entrances. When you come to the rocky lake at different times, the corresponding entrance switches will be triggered.Fortunately, the route they entered was not the most bumpy, at least they were not poisoned to death by poison gas as soon as they entered.

Yuki found the mechanism of the hall where they were located in the densely packed murals. The switch to open the door is one of the left and right ear chambers, but one of the two wrenches is the correct answer and the other is a trap. If the wrong wrench is triggered, it will be locked. An arrow pierces the heart.He kept flipping through the notes, trying to find more clues to solve the puzzle, but before he could study them carefully, the German shepherd wandering not far away suddenly barked, and a gunshot came from the left ear chamber.

The heart almost jumped out of Youmu's throat, he didn't care about picking up his notes, pulled out his dagger and rushed to the side room.In the flickering flames, he could only see a huge black shadow coming towards him, it couldn't be called a living thing at all, its whole body was glowing with dark green phosphorous fire, most of its fur and flesh had peeled off, revealing the white bones.

In the blink of an eye, Sena suddenly rushed over from the side, hugged Yuki and rolled to the side, barely avoiding the monster's attack.

"Run back to the tunnel! This guy is too big to get in!" Sena yelled at Yuki, and shot the monster twice in the head, but that only made the latter take a few steps back.

Youmu remembered that there was a record of this kind of monster in his research notes. It was originally an ordinary guardian beast. In order to protect the treasure for a long time, it was poisoned and turned into a decayed walking dead. It has an extremely cruel temperament and no effective countermeasures.

"Mr. Sena, don't waste bullets."

"What are you going to do, You Jun—!"

Taking advantage of Sena's time to reload the revolver, Yuki broke free from his embrace, picked up the torch and ran towards the depths of the ear chamber.The monster sensed Yumu's presence and immediately turned around.Sena wanted to catch up, but the monster leaped up and completely blocked Yuki and the fire, he dared not shoot easily, for fear of hurting Yuki.

With the help of the bright light, Youmu finally saw the wrench placed in the deepest part, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his chest tightness became more serious, but he didn't care about that, the roar of the monster was right next to his ears, and he could even smell the stench of rotting corpses , the huge shadow engulfed him.

You Mu suddenly rolled sideways. Having played too many action games, he was already familiar with the grasp of the critical point. He calculated that the monster would charge up and jump, and he also predicted where the opponent would land.Although it is too dangerous, he is very good at "seducing the enemy".

With a sound of "click", the switch was flipped, and You Mu felt a chill behind him, and when he turned his head, the monster had been firmly nailed to the ground by dozens of iron arrows, and even the convulsions stopped quickly.

Just thinking that Sena might touch this wrench made Yuki feel extremely terrified.But just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, there was another rumbling sound above his head, and a stone slab came down at the entrance of the ear chamber.Yuki tried to stand up, but the previous adventures consumed too much energy, and he fell to the ground before he could stand still.

The slate door fell too fast, even if he was full of energy, he could barely run over it.Yuki smiled wryly, he didn't expect this round to end like this, he didn't even get to the final level with Sena.

Suddenly, something hooked Yuki's wrist, and a tyrannical force pulled him out of the ear room, and he fell into a warm embrace. The stone door tore the hem of his coat and landed heavily behind him.

"You know what you're doing, don't you want to live!"

Sena yelled angrily, her voice trembling like the rest of her life after a catastrophe.Without the lighting of the torch, all emotions were hidden in the darkness, Yuki didn't look up.Although Sena reprimanded loudly, he didn't push Yuki away.

"If you're dead, I—" Sena suddenly paused, his hand grasping Yuki's shoulder was very strong, his nails were about to dig into the opponent's flesh, as if something was about to burst through his body, and he tried his best to force it restraint.

Yuki leaned his head on Sena's shoulder, the trembling of survival made him tremble uncontrollably, he said softly, "I'm sorry for making Sena-san worry."

Sena embraced him fiercely: "You Jun is really an idiot..."

"Well, I'm sorry," Yuki closed his eyes obediently, "Thank you, Sena-san."

After opening the wrench in the right ear chamber, the two tentatively passed this level.After walking through a lifeless corridor, they came to a circular hall with a high dome. There are two one-meter-square trays on the end, one facing the entrance, and the other with weights facing the exit.

Youmu hurriedly dug out the transcribed mural records, compared with the research notes and said: "This is 'between the sands of the balance', you have to put enough weight on the pallet to move forward."

"Does it mean that if you want to leave, you have to pay the corresponding price." Sena murmured.

Yuki unloaded the backpack, took out the unfinished notebooks, and poured sand into the gap in the bag.The backpack full of sand became very heavy. He put the bag on the tray, and the central pillar turned a slight arc and stopped.

The weight was not enough, Yuki thought about whether he could put more sand on the tray, but the narrow tray had many gaps, and the fine sand could not accumulate on it.

Sena took back her backpack and wrote lightly:

"Let me do it."

Yuki naturally refused to agree, but Sena's expression was calm, and he was already mentally prepared: "This is the best way. In this way, You Jun can continue to move forward, and I can't escape."

"What do you mean?" You Mu felt uncomfortable.

Sena smiled wryly, and rolled up his sleeves, and Yuki noticed that the other party had put down the long sleeves at the elbows at some point, and now he opened the sleeves again, and the exposed forearms were no longer white Thin, but swollen with a terrible bruise, covered with dark green lines, just like the monster that was shot into a sieve.

"I was bitten by a sneak attack. For You Jun, I'd better leave the team."

"It's just poisoning, maybe there's a way...I, I'll figure it out." Youmu opened his notebook in a panic, and he had never been so out of his mind when he narrowly escaped from the mouth of a monster.

He doesn't care if he dies in the game, as long as he starts over again.But he didn't want to lose Sena Izumi in any world anymore, he was fed up with being forced to separate from Sena because of various accidents and irreversible tragedies, he didn't want to see Sena's peaceful smile pretending to be relieved, I don't even want to hear the other party's remarks that he will be satisfied if he protects You Jun.

He doesn't want him to die for himself, he just wants to be with him.

His vision became blurred, and Yuki could hardly read the words on the note.

Sena stretched out her healthy hand, rubbed Yuki's hair, and kissed his forehead lightly: "Do you still remember, σ'αγαπ? Unfortunately, it can't be realized."

Yuki was so angry that he cried and laughed: "What are you kidding now!" He wanted to grab Sena's hand, but the other party avoided it.

"Everything will be in vain if you get infected with You Jun. Hurry up and take your pocket watch and gun." Sena took out the revolver. When Yuki held the pistol last time, he still pointed it at his temple.His eye circles were red, but he still refused to leave, stubbornly looking forward to the possibility of a turnaround.

But the cold system prompt told him that everything is a foregone conclusion, and there is no room for maneuver—{Leave Shajian. }

Sena stepped onto the tray, and the balance immediately turned, and the stone plate carrying him sank vertically. The platform where Yuki was on moved slowly with the quicksand and turned to the exit, while the platform at the exit moved to the entrance. All operations stopped, and Sena Na also got off the tray.

"If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." Sena stopped looking at Yuki, his voice cooled down, and the whip crackled, "An unexpected guest is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, several monsters and zombies burning with phosphorous fire rushed over.The narrow platform can't accommodate so many people and monsters, Sena avoids and circles around nimbly, but both he and Yuki know that this advantage won't last long.

"Come on!"

Tears burst out of the embankment, You Mu wiped away the tears indiscriminately, and rushed to the next checkpoint without looking back.He didn't dare to stay any longer, the screams of fighting monsters mixed with the gurgling sound of quicksand, like a tragic and desperate requiem.

Youmu continued to move forward with his pet dog. When encountering monsters, he tried his best to escape, and when he reached a safe area, he researched mechanisms and ways to move forward.When he turned the notes to the end and found that the ancient dialect spoken by Sena was still recorded, Yuki realized that the mysterious old saying that Sena said to him was not flirting at all, but the simplest And most affectionately I love you.

He didn't remember how he got out of it, as if the last checkpoint didn't even have a mechanism, everything was ordinary, and he just found the evil treasure that had devoured countless lives by accident, he should have been so excited—— ——This is what Yuki, who is an archaeological researcher, dreams of.But he couldn't be happy at all, thinking that this iron box ruined Sena's life, he wished he could throw it into the furnace.

When You Mu walked out of the Water Sand Palace, the sun had just risen from the horizon, and the morning light illuminated the rugged rocks. The morning wind was cool and gentle, and the wilderness was beautiful as far as the eye could see.

He knew that everything was over, and the familiar system default words emerged from the landscape: {NormalEnd: Journey alone}

What a mocking name, Yuki thought.

The lines of words gradually dissipated in the sunlight, and then condensed into a few new lines of words.

{Achieve "Wild World·Normal Ending" and get 100 points}

{please choose:

{continue game from critical branch;

{ restart in "spectator" mode;

{Exit "Wild World". }

Yuki chose to continue the game without hesitation.

【14】

After the white light passed, the reconstructed picture was in the first hall after entering the maze. Sena was about to explore the ear chamber. This time, Yuki decided to let the lobster accompany him.

After being attacked by monsters, there was still no change, but when Yuki escaped from the ear chamber and was hugged nervously by Sena and poured out his heart, he found that there was a large obvious scratch on the abdomen of the lobster, which had already begun to turn purple .

The response time of the animals after infection was very short. When they walked between the Tianping sand and the sand, the lobster was already dying. The beautiful brown fur fell off like a dilapidated wall, and the pale ribs were exposed from the wound. When he wanted to touch it, the originally docile German Shepherd tried to bite him.

They all understand that farewell is close at hand.

"I'll do it," Sena said, "it won't make it hard."

Yumu shook his head, even though it was extremely painful, he still decided to strangle his pet dog to death with his own hands. *After the warm body stopped shaking in his arms, Yuki took off his coat, carefully wrapped the lobster and tied it on his body.When he put the backpack into the tray, he didn't take away the notes. He remembered those materials firmly, and there was no need to carry them.

When leaving Sanda, Sena said that those people also followed in, but they seemed to go through different entrances.

"We must get out alive." Youmu said firmly.

Sena raised his eyebrows, as if he was quite surprised by this modest and shy young man's reaction, but in the end he just smiled: "That's right, I'm still thinking about how to ask You Jun to repay me."

Yuki couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he thought of Sena's mocking ancient dialect.This time, he will definitely leave with Sena safe and sound, and then he will ask the other party why he refuses to tell the true meaning of that sentence.

The two walked to the last hall, where there was a huge stone door on each of the four walls.Unlike the previous ones, the door was bare, without even a pattern of words.On the contrary, there is a cylindrical high platform in front of the stone gate, which looks suspicious.Sena climbed up first, and then pulled Yugi up with the rope.There is a protruding low stone pillar in the center of the high platform. The cross-section is several concentric rings, surrounded by some messy graphic fragments, and a groove in the middle. The outline is very familiar, which reminds Yuki of Sena's pocket watch.

Just when he started to concentrate on solving the puzzle, Sena noticed that someone had also come to this hall.He left his pocket watch and pistol to Yuki, and jumped off the high platform by himself.

The familiar bridge section gave You Mu another bad feeling.Sure enough, in addition to the local ruffians who coveted the treasure, there were also several ferocious carrion monsters.He wanted to jump down and clear the enemies with Sena before solving the puzzle, but every time he reached the edge of the platform, the system forced him to retreat.

{Please solve the puzzle. }

Youmu, whose freedom was restricted, had to turn back to the stone pillar. After reading the research notes, it was easy to piece together the graphics around the section.Yuki dismantled the pocket watch with a dagger, took out the dial with light blue text patterns, and put it into the groove of the stone pillar.

Suddenly, the whole palace was shaken, the high platform where You Mu stood trembled and slowly rose, a gap gradually opened in the ceiling, and the stone doors on the surrounding walls also slowly opened, and yellow sand poured out. I am afraid that it will not be long. This hall will be filled with quicksand.

For the players standing on the high platform, this is already the escape link after solving all the puzzles, but Ke Sena is still fighting the enemy below.Youmu rushed to the edge again, and the system was still tirelessly reminding him not to leave the high platform.

"Mr. Sena!"

Sena raised his head in response, he seemed to have seen through his ending long ago, with a calm and fearless smile.

In the end, is the difference in key branches just witnessing different deaths of Sena in different places?Yuki lay on the high platform in despair, tears fell on the lens, he could hardly see Sena's expression clearly.

"If this is the end, I'd rather die now." He said resolutely, wiped away his tears, and jumped down without hesitation.

Everything stopped suddenly, You Mu was still floating in the air, and a line of cold warning suddenly appeared in front of him.

{Falling at this point will result in game over. }

"That's okay, I'm tired of watching Quan Sang die, even if it's just a game."

{Falling at this point will result in game over. }

"I know, let's end it!"

{Falling at this point will result in game over. }

{Falling at this point will result in game over. }

{……}

{……}

{Even so, do you still want to fall? }

The text actually changed, Yuki said categorically:

"Yes!"

The picture was vivid again, and the noise poured into You Mu'er.He jumped down from the high place as he wished, holding the dagger in his hand, and jumped onto the broad back of a monster with precision. The blade pierced into the neck of the monster. on the ground.

"You Jun?!"

Seeing the monster's headless torso crumbling, Sena hurriedly rushed over and opened his arms, making sure to catch Yuki before relaxing a little.

"Are you stupid!"

This time Yuki was no longer silent, and retorted confidently: "Mr. Sena is the idiot, a life-threatening idiot!"

"..."

Sena was speechless for a moment.They can't be gentle right now, and they still have a few enemies to deal with before being swallowed by quicksand.

The former lord who tried to monopolize the treasure really sneaked into the palace, but he suffered heavy losses. Most of the men he brought died from poisonous gas and monsters, and even he himself was infected with Gu poison. One leg was almost rotten, but he still did not die. Xin Xin brandished the knife, wanting to end Sena's life with his own hands, as if by doing so, he could regain the glory he longed for.

The revolver had already run out of bullets, but Sena, who only relied on the lasso and long whip, still had the upper hand.

"No matter how many times, you can't win," said Sena, who was facing the enemy as cold as ice, and the whip he threw out was so fierce that it seemed to cut people in half, "lose to an 'outsider' like me." You are not worthy of this position."

The long whip wrapped around the man's neck and broke his spine before he could struggle.

On the other side, Yumu cut off the monster's minions with the help of the quicksand movement. Although his body was still twitching, he could only sink into the fine sand and was unable to recover.Sena pulled out a scepter from the arms of the dead man, a white jade similar to his pocket watch, engraved with light blue ancient characters.

"When he was expelled, he refused to return the scepter. It really was for the purpose of stealing the treasure one day."

Youmu took the scepter and looked it over carefully, the light was too dim, and the lettering on it could not be seen clearly, he had an intuition that there must be some escape clues, but there were more and more fine sand, and they were almost drowned.

Suddenly, the system popped up a line of words: {Insert the scepter into the stone pillar. }

This reminder is too kind, and it is almost completely different from the system that prevented him from jumping off the high platform in every possible way.But Youmu didn't care about thinking about it, he climbed onto the stone pillar, happened to see a hole with a similar diameter, and inserted it in.

For a moment, the world stood still.

The stone pillar stopped rising, and the fine sand pouring in from all sides also stopped.The rough-surfaced cylinder suddenly opened a gap, and it turned out that there was actually a spiral stone ladder inside the cylinder.

When they walked to the top of the high platform, they found that the platform had been raised back to the ground, surrounded by strange rocks, the breeze was blowing, and the sun was rising.

Sena did not bring out the treasure hidden in the stone pillar. Some treasures will bring people well-being and happiness, but some will only bring disaster and misfortune.He never needed to use this to show his success, not to mention that he had obtained something more precious than treasure.

The two walked back to the rocky lake, and Sena's beloved horse was still loyally guarding the spot.Although Yumu's horse has run away, the intimacy of sharing a horse does not seem to be a problem for the two of them now.

On the way back, Yuki sat behind Sena, struggling with the manuscript.Although in the maze, he vowed to have a showdown with Sena after escaping, but he hasn't asked the words until now, and he will return to the town soon, and there will be no such warm atmosphere in the future.

And Sena was also exceptionally silent, wondering if there was something on her mind.The two of them walked all the way like this, without even a dry chat without nutrition, until they arrived in the small town, Sena took Yuki to the door of the best hotel under his jurisdiction.

In all fairness, as a player, Yuki wanted to confess directly, but for some reason, he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. When Sena asked him what his plans were for the future, he actually said "continue archaeological travel".

Sena teased: "You Jun still owes me a favor, do you want to run away like this?"

The external force that forced Yumu not to speak nonsense prevented him from speaking again.After an awkward silence, Sena stopped insisting and was about to leave.

At this time, the system default word suddenly appeared between the two: {TrueEnd: unfulfilled wish}

What, Youmu was stunned, the TrueEnd he worked so hard to type, but it was an aggrieved ending that didn't even reveal his heart?Could it be that Sena and Yuki in this world line just passed by without expressing their intentions in the end?

The concluding line gradually faded out, and the subsequent explanatory text also emerged, but Youmu couldn't accept it at all.

"σ'αγαπ?, remember!" He tried his best to shout loudly, but there was still no sound out of his mouth.Sena stood in front of him, as indifferent as if she was separated from the CG screen on the TV screen.

"What Sena-san said hasn't come true yet, has it?"

Sena looked at him silently through the system text.

"I have the same mood as Sena-san," Yuki said persistently, "That sentence...I want to hear you say it again."

Suddenly, the words between the two disappeared, and Sena's eyes widened as if she had just heard those words, and then rushed up to hug him tightly.

"σ'αγαπ? It doesn't matter how many times you say it. I like you, You Jun. I wish I could tie you by my side forever with a rope."

Yuki couldn't help laughing, and put his hands on Sena's back, he could feel her trembling slightly.

"Even if I don't use this rough method, I will stay by your side. Because... I like you too, Quansang."

The picture in front of him gradually brightened, You Mu knew that this time was the real end.After the warm white light passed, he finally returned to the familiar selection interface. The light curtain of the wilderness world glowed with warm yellow light, which was different from the cold white of other world lines. That must be the proof that he played a perfect ending.

{Achieve "Wild World·True Ending" and get 500 points}

Yuki browsed the menu bar, although there are a few world lines that have been tried and still need to collect the real ending, but there is a world that has never been touched before, which looks very interesting, so he decided to try it first.

The background of the light curtain is the bustling urban night scene, and the silhouette is Sena Izumi wearing a cloak and a magic hat.
