Seven Evil Slips Chapter 4:


Go back to the corridor again.

Xiaoqi hummed the song "Banka" of "Broken Bamboo and Continued Bamboo", and shook Kiyo's shoes in his hand.

Kiyo lowered her head and looked at her feet. Walking in this corridor was not harsh. She didn't care if she had shoes or not. She also took off her socks and stepped on them barefoot. There was a thin layer of fine sand on the soles of her feet. Is it her years, experience and life that are stepping on the soles of her feet now?

Kiyo said: "Xiaoqi, you told me a lot of lies."

Xiaoqi's humming stopped abruptly, and her voice sounded very excited: "How can I! I'm a good person!"

"So, you want to send me out wholeheartedly?"

"Yes, yes."

"Since you are so good, why did you always harm people in that world, but you became a Bodhisattva when you came here? I have never heard of the mirage, but I know that the mirage is formed by the refraction of the atmosphere. A kind of virtual image."

"My real life is still in that world. The Guansi Mirage is just a virtual image of my life—or, like a maze, you have been disturbing me, stopping me, and not wanting me to go out."

Xiao Qi said: "Is there any?"

Its slender body softened and collapsed on the ground, as if cheating, as if it would roll around on the ground in the next moment: "You wronged me."

Kiyo said: "You have been with people for too long, you have grown into a human form, you can speak human language, and you have learned how to deceive and harm people cleverly. But is a person a good person? It's not from my own mouth, nor is it from being clever."

She stepped over Xiaoqi, and this time, she walked resolutely, without panic or in a hurry.

Xiaoqi lay on the ground for a while, seeing that she didn't look back, she shouted like a demonstrator: "You wronged me, I won't play with you anymore, I'm leaving?"

Kiyo ignores it.

Some devils have smiling faces and cute words and deeds, but they are still devils.

One of Xiao Qi's arms slowly got into the mountain wall of the corridor, and the end floated up and down on the other side of the mountain wall until it grabbed another fierce Jane's arm.

A moment later, it let out a strange chirping laugh, retracted its slender arms quickly, then got up, and hurriedly chased after Kiyo.

——Oh, I got angry just like that.

—Just kidding.

—Okay okay, I'll tell you the truth.

Kiyo stopped: "What is the truth?"

Xiaoqi said: "Guansi Mirage has five entrances of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, like a five-pointed star. The five of you are approaching the center by walking each of these corridors."

"The center is the exit, the door is there."

"When you arrive alone, the door won't open. You need at least two people, understand? At least two people are needed for the door to open."

Kiyo weighed in his heart whether this was the truth or nonsense: "Is this difficult? This is very simple. Why couldn't the previous people complete it?"

Xiaoqi screamed: "Is this easy? You have meddled in your past, it's not that you can't change it, but there are too many possibilities for the direction of things - if Wenwen ran away at that time, it was not stupid Come back to save you, will your life change? Say what you say!"

"You are lucky, you are still on the normal track, but what about your friends? Can you guarantee that they are still in the same direction as you?"

Speaking of this, its waist straightened up suddenly, and its thin arms pointed straight at the wave shadow beside it, pulling it straight like a string.

Kiyo looked in the direction it pointed.

In the fine wave shadow, she saw the facade of a familiar bar.

Get together and part with fate.

Subconsciously, she looked up at the surface of the sundial. The pointer of the sun shadow was close to a quarter of the disk.

According to the time calculation, at this time, Wan San should be working in a bar, and she is about to come into contact with that... story about the fierce Jane.

Can you guarantee that they are still in the same direction as you?

Verify it, just verify it.

Gritting his teeth, Kiyo was about to step in, when Xiaoqi suddenly stopped her.

The tone is sly and gloating.

"Let me tell you, before, your life was basically repeated. Repeatedly, there were two of you. Therefore, when you entered Boying, there were two of you. If you don't repeat yourself..."

"What happens if you don't repeat it again?"

Xiaoqi said: "Then there is only one left."

Kiyo listened ignorantly, and stepped in hesitantly.

Yunnan, Lijiang, blue sky, low clouds, this is a day with fine air, and you can faintly see the snow peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the middle of the sky—I don’t know if it’s because of global warming, but Yulong’s The snow line is getting higher and higher every year. Once, Aunt Hong even said with emotion that maybe in a few decades, there will be no snow on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Kiyo pushed open the courtyard door of the bar and went in.

Uncle Zhang was decorating the exterior wall of the bar, winding colorful wine bottles with iron wires, and hanging them high and low on the nails on the exterior wall. When he saw her, he smiled and greeted her: "Little Boss."

Kiyo's scalp suddenly went numb.

It's different from the previous times, Uncle Zhang can see her, she doesn't need to enter that Kiyo's body again, there is only one herself in Bo Ying - so this is what Xiaoqi called "no repeat".

Why no more repetitions? what changed?

She looked into the bar, at the bar, a bartender with dyed white hair and big silver rings on his ears was shaking his head and practicing drinking.

Kiyo's heart was pounding, and he asked Uncle Zhang with a trembling voice: "Uncle Zhang, where is 13,000?"

Uncle Zhang looked at her strangely: "What ten thousand three? I have heard of Shen Wansan before."

Kiyo's heart sank.

Thirteen never appeared.

This is the mirage of five people. In the last paragraph, they have a common life, and any one person will affect the others.

Xiao Qi is right, this is a world full of variables and 10,000 possibilities, and this world is a world where five people wrestle with each other, rather than her controlling it alone.

Sweat dripped from Kiyo's forehead, and Uncle Zhang suddenly pushed her: "Little proprietress, why are you in a daze, the proprietress is calling you."

Really? Kiyo collected himself, forced a smile and opened the door to go in.

Huo Zihong beckoned her to come over, with a gentle voice: "Muyo, do Aunt Hong a favor."

She handed over a note: "Help me go to Chongqing, this address."

Kiyo looked down, and there was a hasty note at the end of the long list of addresses.

——Laojiu Hot Pot Restaurant.

Chongqing, Jiefangbei, cableway, Wanfenghuo...

Muyo's eyes tightened suddenly: that was the first time she met Luo Ren and Cao Yanhua!

***

Backing to the tunnel, Kiyo quickly inspected the nearby Nami, the airport, the hotel...here it is, the Jiefangbei.

She stepped in.

It was morning, the river was covered with mist, the cableway had already opened, and the first wave of tourist traffic was about to move.

Kiyo couldn't remember the exact time he took the ropeway, so he simply didn't leave the station when he got up, and bought a ticket when he got to the opposite side, and then sat back and back.

She put her mobile phone in her outer pocket, half exposed outside, when someone touched her shoulder, she thought it was Cao Yanhua—but no, it was an old man with gray hair, who kindly reminded her: "Girl, put your mobile phone away." Put it away, it will be troublesome if it is stolen."

Kiyo was so disappointed that he forgot to thank the old man for his kindness.

She forgot the appointment with Wan Fenghuo's Laojiu hot pot restaurant, and kept going to the cableway repeatedly. After a few times, the ticket gate officer of the cable car knew her face by heart. As if joking with his colleagues: "This little girl, she won't sit until dark."

At noon, the fog cleared a bit, the cable car was shaking, the cableway rings above the head creaked, and the tourists beside him were taking pictures and having fun.

Luo Ren should have appeared earlier, but he didn't. Several times, she saw Xiao Qi hanging strangely from the opposite cable, his body stretched out, like winding a horizontal bar.

Her mobile phone continued to be half exposed outside, waiting lonely for someone to steal it.

When it was getting dark, Aunt Hong called and asked her, did you go to see Mr. Wan today?

Kiyo explained softly: "Aunt Hong, I feel a little uncomfortable today."

After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone. She was afraid that if she continued to talk, she would not be able to help but want to cry.

At nearly ten o'clock in the evening, the ropeway was out of service, and Kiyo followed the last group of people out of the station blankly. The road in the mountain city was uneven, and she didn't know where to go. Sit down on the street steps.

The wind picked up, blowing up the **** that hadn't been cleaned up on the ground, plastic bags floated past, leaflets rustled the ground, the cars coming and going seemed to be out of order, and the lights interspersed with each other in a mess Then, there was a screeching sound of brakes from time to time.

Luo Ren didn't come, and Cao Yanhua didn't show up either. Their world had changed several times, but she, sitting here, was helpless.

There were rustling movements on the eaves, and after a while, Xiaoqi's football-like head hung down.

Said her: "Oh, the world is unpredictable, and it's not your fault."

Kiyo was silent for a long time before asking it: "How is the time converted? How long has it passed in the real world?"

Xiaoqi said: "It's been a year or two."

A year or two? Will her body be covered with dust?

Xiaoqi said: "Let's go, don't be discouraged, don't you still have a friend named Hongsha? You know where she lives, you can go find her."

Red sand?

Yes, there is also Hongsha. At this time, she has not met Hongsha. If I remember correctly, in a short time, she will beg the elder brother to find a job that she can do, and the elder brother will bring her She went to Kunming, the house of old man Yan.

Kiyo stood up excitedly, just took a step, and stopped hesitantly: "What about Luo Ren and the others?"

Xiaoqi said: "Hey, you still miss them. They don't show up when they should show up. I don't know where the trajectory of life is going. Remember what I said, there is only one person, and you can't get out at the end. To go, at least two people are needed—you should pray to God to bless you to find Hongsha.”

It jumped down from the eaves, its arms stretched out suddenly, and wrapped around Kiyo's arm: "Let's go, let's go, hurry up."

The wave shadow is right in front of you, flickering finely, like a curtain hanging from the sky.

Suddenly there was a loud brake sound, and the lights of the car were flickering. Kiyo heard someone shouting behind him: "Little master, little master, I am Fatty Cao!"
