"Hmm?" Su Jue looked at Kiana puzzledly. "It's okay, I just wanted to call your name." Su Jue was confused and didn't understand the other party's idea. He could only continue to swallow the dry and hard bread with oatmeal porridge. Now he was just an ordinary person and needed a lot of energy to replenish himself to keep warm. Almost all the remaining time was spent on cleaning the house. Time went by quickly with the tacit cooperation of the two. By the third day, this shabby little house finally looked like a home. If we continue like this, a smooth transition to the first Honkai outbreak will not be a problem. However, on the fourth day, there was a knock on the door of the cabin. Chapter 273 Attack Although this world is just a fake to Su Jue, as time goes by, he gradually adapts to the life with one more person around him. From the beginning when he had nothing, to now when he barely has the breath of life, his mentality is also slowly changing. If I could live like this, maybe it would be nice. Of course, this was just a fleeting thought. This was an illusion created by the cracks in his heart and the core of his rationality. It was aimed at his feelings for Kiana. If he was really addicted to it, he would lose himself sooner or later. Therefore, he had to remind himself all the time that the other party was just an illusion, and kill her with his own hands when he wavered.
It is precisely because of this sense of illusion that he would do some illegal things without any burden and use any means to survive. As the family gradually became complete, his self also found an anchor in this world. Slowly, he gave up those obviously unsuitable ways of making money and began to learn to cooperate with Kiana. On the fourth day, the temperature in Berlin dropped significantly again, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it would collapse at any time. The flame in the fireplace grew weaker and the temperature in the room gradually dropped. Su Jue walked to the wall where the firewood was piled, ready to add some, only to find that the firewood had been used up. He subconsciously looked around, the room was empty, with only his own shadow on the wall. He then remembered that Kiana had gone out alone to prepare firewood an hour ago, and had not returned yet. In the illusion, Su Jue's power was completely sealed, and even because of the rejection of the core, his physical fitness was greatly compressed, even worse than Kiana. It is for this reason that Su Jue, who always said "I can do everything", had to learn to rely on Kiana. He was responsible for the clerical work and left some physical work to her. "You haven't come back yet? It's getting dark soon." Looking at the increasingly dim light outside the window, Su Jue felt a little worried. When he was considering whether to go look for someone, there was a knock on the door. "Ok?" Su Jue did not open the door immediately. This was not a civilized and harmonious era. There were many homeless people and fugitives in the city. Especially now that the weather was getting colder, it was difficult to ensure that everyone had a shelter. The knocking stopped, and Su Jue walked to the door cautiously, ready to confirm the other party's identity. But just as he approached, the fragile wooden door was violently broken open, and the sharp axe almost brushed his nose. Fortunately, Su Jue reacted quickly enough and twisted his body at the moment of being attacked to avoid the fatal blow. After failing to hit the target with the axe, the intruder immediately prepared to swing the axe again. With the help of the long-handled weapon, killing a weak boy was not a difficult task. However, when he swung the axe and even the image of Su Jue lying in a pool of blood appeared in his mind, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He lowered his head and saw Su Jue with cold eyes. A dagger slipped out from Su Jue's sleeve and accurately pierced into the intruder's abdomen. As Su Jue turned his wrist expressionlessly, a bloody hole was torn out in the man's abdomen. Blood gushed out, soaking Su Jue's clothes. He loosened his hand, moved his feet, accurately dodged the opponent's crazy counterattack, and then, like a perfect machine, sent another dagger into the opponent's heart. The desperate intruder never expected that he would be killed in return. He opened his eyes wide and swung his axe wildly, trying to kill Su Jue, but in the end he could only kneel on the ground under Su Jue's calm gaze. The room was filled with a bloody smell. The counterattack against the intruder did not make Su Jue feel the slightest bit emotional. Instead, the blood splattered by the other party before his death made him frown. This was the home that he and Kiana had spent four days to clean up.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the traces, the sound of whistling wind came from behind him. Sensing the threat, Su Jue raised his dagger to block, but the enemy was obviously prepared. Amidst the flying wood chips, the wooden stick hit him hard on the back of the head. Su Jue suddenly became dizzy and his eyes went dark. Then a huge force kicked him away. The force was so strong that Su Jue rolled several times on the snow before stopping. The blood mixed with the snow obscured his vision. In the blurred field of vision, several figures were approaching him. This was not a simple homeless attack, but a planned murder. Click. The hard sole of the boot stepped on the back of Su Jue's hand and crushed it into the mud. The attacker grabbed his hair and lifted his face from the snow. Severe pain spread throughout his body, and his head was filled with tinnitus. Su Jue couldn't hear what the other person was saying at all. But even so, Su Jue did not panic. He knew very well that this must be the illusion world targeting him. After all, it is a trial. It is unlikely for him to spend these twenty days peacefully. As long as he is in the illusion, he will inevitably be targeted in various ways. Fear, despair, Su Jue has experienced these emotions too many times. An attack of this magnitude cannot shake his heart. "Good evening, Su Jue." Just as Su Jue was thinking about how to get out of the predicament, a pair of snow boots stepped on the muddy ground and stopped in front of Su Jue, and a gentle young man's voice fell into Su Jue's ears. He forced his eyes open and saw the young man with short blue hair whom he had met two days ago. "Cough." Su Jue spat out blood foam and asked calmly, "The attack seems to come later than expected?" "Yeah, if you had gone home earlier, maybe there wouldn't have to be so much trouble. Who would have known that you would be hiding in such a shabby house." Yis stared into Su Jue's eyes, as if he wanted to see the fear in his eyes. But he failed. There was an unfathomable depth in Su Jue's gray eyes, as if they wanted to absorb him. It turned out that I was right to reject the other party at the beginning. If I had really believed this harmless guy, I might not have survived the next day. "I'm curious why you didn't just take action when you first saw me. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with a person of unknown origin." The young man Yi Si laughed unscrupulously after listening to Su Jue's words. He squatted down and looked down at Su Jue: "No, no, no, killing the prey is not the process of hunting. Watching the prey struggle is the fun." Su Jue looked calm and asked, "What should I call you? Yi Si? Or Joyce?" But facing Su Jue's question, a little confusion flashed across Yi Si's face, and he subconsciously replied: "What Joyce, is he a figure in your family?" guessed wrong? Su Jue was stunned. He thought the other party was the First Ruler, but he didn't expect it to be just an ordinary native? For Su Jue, there is not only one way to pass the illusion. The normal process is to safely pass the first collapse. Another way is to find Walter's consciousness and erase him to pass the level. Chapter 274 Home "Hey, I'm asking you a question!" The young man took Su Jue's silence as a provocation. He grabbed Su Jue's collar and stared at his eyes fiercely. He wanted to see Su Jue's weakness, but after confirming that the other person was not Joyce, Su Jue's eyes were calm, as calm as if he was looking at a dead person.
With a startled heart, Yi Si quickly let go of his hand and subconsciously took a step back. After realizing that he had embarrassed himself, he stopped looking at Su Jue and turned away. "I hope you can be this calm when you see your companions die in front of you later." After saying this, the young man walked towards Su Jue's cabin in a dignified manner. He didn't notice that Su Jue's palms had unconsciously clenched. The fully armed attacker pinned Su Jue down again and dragged his legs to plow a long trench in the snow. Just when the other party was about to cripple him, there was a click, and Su Jue forcibly twisted his body and threw the last dagger in his sleeve into the attacker's throat. Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy was stunned, he broke free from the restraints on his hands and feet, and hit him hard on the back with a wooden stick, making a dull sound. But Su Jue said nothing and took the dagger back from the dead man. He stood up again, the dizziness made his vision a little blurry, but when the enemy attacked him, he was like an erratic ghost, always finding the perfect angle to dodge. If Su Jue had not been ambushed and in order to find out who attacked him from behind, no matter how weak he was, he would not have been suppressed by these melee guys. 呲. Blood spurted out from the enemy's throat, the hot blood melted the snow on the ground, and Su Jue's cheeks were also stained with a hint of crimson. He was like a ruthless machine, quietly harvesting the lives of his enemies, and like a butterfly flying through flowers, fluttering over the gushing blood. He heard a thud from behind. The young man turned around in horror and saw not Su Jue's body, but a pair of cold eyes. "You, monster." Fear gripped his heart, turning his blood cold, and he ran into the house in panic. Su Jue's murderous intent became even stronger after seeing this scene. The scenes of cleaning up with Kiana in the past two days emerged in his mind. The dagger in his hand became brighter and brighter in the light of the fireplace. "This is my territory." A silver line flashed through the air, followed by a burst of blood, but Su Jue's pupils shrank instantly. The next second, gunfire rang out. boom--! He tilted his head, the bullet flew almost close to his face, the wind pressure scraped a bloody mark on his skin. The man who had fallen into madness covered the wound on his neck and pulled the trigger at Su Jue recklessly. Bullets were flying around the room in a random pattern, and Su Jue could only temporarily avoid the threat of guns. Click. The glass that Su Jue had polished to a clear shine was shattered, the rope hanging on the wall was broken, and the debris broke off the wooden wall and fell into the fireplace mixed with flammable cloth. In just a few seconds, the vigorous flames swept across the wooden floor and pillars. "No!" The sound of the bullet firing ended, and Is's pupils dilated as his life was completely exhausted. The gun in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he fell down powerlessly. But Su Jue didn't even look at him. The blazing flames were reflected in his eyes. He tried to put out the spreading fire, but the wood was very dry in winter, and once a fire started, it was impossible to put it out. Moreover, most houses in this era were made of wood, and Su Jue's strength alone was not enough to stop the fire from spreading. This world is just an illusion to him. He can watch others die without caring and will not get angry if attacked. Even if he wipes out this world with his own hands, his heart will not be shaken in the slightest.
But even if the world is fake, memories are real. From the coldness at the beginning, to the warmth of the cabin, to the increasingly cozy residence now, all of it was arranged bit by bit by him and Kiana. Su Jue has always been like a drifting duckweed, treating everything as a game without any emotion, because he has the ability and willpower to act alone. However, after entering the illusion, his ability is restricted and he has to rely on the girl beside him. What is stored here is not only his own efforts, but also the memories of working with Kiana. Because of this, this hut almost anchored all his emotions towards this virtual world, and in this burning fire, Su Jue's heart was moved for the first time. That is the emotion called loss. Under the encouragement of the cold wind outside, the flames burned more fiercely and gradually spread to the whole house. Su Jue was surrounded by the flames, and the broken wooden structure hit the ground around him, rolling up waves of flames and approaching him. The sequelae of the intense battle and injuries seized the opportunity to brutally tear at his body and consciousness. Under the reflection of the flames, Su Jue's vision became increasingly blurred, and finally, in the irresistible weakness, his body slowly fell down. thump. The sound of firewood falling to the ground rang out from the snowfield. Kiana, who had just returned, looked around in panic at the corpses and rushed straight into the sea of fire. Su Jue, who was in a daze, only felt himself being held in a cold embrace. He opened his eyes with difficulty and whispered in an apologetic tone. "I'm sorry I failed to protect our home." So, is this the existence called [home]? This thought flashed through his mind, and then Su Jue's consciousness fell into complete darkness. "Su Jue!" In the fire that burned the entire night red, the girl immediately walked out of the house, carrying the unconscious Su Jue on her back. The burning and broken beams fell from great heights one after another, making a roaring sound in the flames. The black stone brick walls continued to collapse, covering up all the memories. The moment the two walked out of the door, the hut behind them was completely engulfed in flames. Kiana led Su Jue step by step towards the dark snow. The night had completely fallen, swallowing up all hope. "Su Jue, Su Jue." Tears streamed down her cheeks, and Kiana gritted her teeth in pain. In order to keep the illusion from being discovered, she had been suppressing her emotions. She didn't dare to let Su Jue see her identity, fearing that Su Jue would leave. But now she couldn't help but call his name over and over again. "It's okay, I'm still by your side, I will always be here." She lifted Su Jue's back higher so that his head could rest better on her shoulder. Their cheeks were pressed together as they whispered softly. The biting cold wind once again blew across Berlin in 1951. Amid the flames and snow, the figures of the young boy and girl gradually faded away. Behind them were corpses all over the ground and burnt-out huts. Chapter 275: Melting Ice In the cold snowy night, the sudden gunshots woke up most of the residents in the city. People were frightened by the flames and cried for help in panic. Soon, the city firefighters arrived at the scene and used water to put out the fire on the burned building. "Gunshots, we heard gunshots." The police station that intervened in the investigation immediately questioned the surrounding residents, but this cottage had been vacant before Su Jue and his friends moved in, and no one knew the specific situation after a long time. Of course, there must have been some residents nearby who had seen Su Jue entering and leaving the cottage, but looking at the corpses and blood all over the ground, everyone remained silent. While the police were investigating the scene, several strangers in black robes walked into the house with the police and searched for something on the charred ground. Finally, one of them stopped in front of the charred corpse, and with his toes he gently pulled the empty pistol out from his carbonized fingers, and finally picked it up with his white-gloved fingers. His fingers gently brushed away the dust on the gun handle, and a few abbreviations fell into his eyes.
After confirming the identity of the deceased, the man made a gesture to his companions, and they hurriedly left the scene. …… The biting cold wind scraped Kiana's cheeks, piercing her skin like a knife, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she covered Su Jue more with her clothes. She stopped and looked back in the direction of the hut. The burning flames had gone out, and it was obvious that someone had discovered the fire. There was only deep darkness on the road, and she waited quietly until she was sure that no enemy was catching up, and then she continued to move forward with Su Jue on her back.
