The scroll is very retro and well preserved. The old man seems to browse and touch it frequently. The scroll is smooth and oily to the touch, without any burr belonging to the paper.
Xie Chi spread it out and painted an ugly and cute creature on it.
The creature was extremely short, with a flat and pointed mouth, a frog-like emerald green body, extremely long arms, a powerful back arch, and a turtle shell on the back. The top of its head is sunken into a dish, which can store water. In the painting is a rain scene, the green creature hides under a lotus leaf, waiting for the rain to roll down the lotus leaf into the reservoir above its head. It was laughing funny, grinning at the corners of its mouth.
The handwriting in the lower right corner of the painting is skewed and faintly visible. It is "Kappa".
Xie Chi knew this creature.
This creature is a creature in the mythology of the Sun Country. It has excellent water quality, kindness, closeness to humans, and is innocent.
Xie Chi found out the habits of this legendary creature from his memory, and began to recall what the old man said before.
The old man accidentally mentioned the kappa while lamenting that **** randomly dropped layers and changed layers.
Xie Chi lowered his head in thought, a flash of inspiration in his mind, the old man wanted to talk about the birth of the Kappa.
According to legend, a creature like Kappa can decide whether he is born or not.
In the country of Kappa, when the Kappa mother is about to give birth, the Kappa father will invite the Kappa doctor. The Kappa doctor does not rush to give birth, but first lie on the Kappa mother’s belly and ask if the little Kappa in the belly is willing to be born in such a Family, let these two people be their own parents.
Doctor Kappa will ask if the parents of Kappa are competent and whether he is satisfied. If Xiao Kappa’s answer is that he does not want to be the children of these two people, does not want to be born in such a family, and does not want to come to the world, then the Kappa doctor will disregard the parents' obstacles, induce labor for the little Kappa, and let the little Kappa reincarnate.
The birth of Kappa and the system of **** are completely opposite.
The floor where the prisoner falls is completely random, and the floor where he reappears after the 15-day period expires is also random.
The little kappa can decide his origin, but the prisoner cannot.
Xie Chi was a little curious about the origin of this painting, and he flipped through the old man's notebook hidden in his pocket.
The notebook is small, the index finger is as long, the thumb is as wide, and the edges are fluffy. The old man should have obtained the paper, cut the paper to the size of the palm, and then perforate one by one, and tie the small pieces of paper together with the thread hooked out of the cloth.
Very delicate and boring work, but the most important thing in **** is time.
Xie Chi glanced at the paper, an accident flashed in his eyes. This is a diary. The old man has the habit of keeping a diary, and keeps one per day. Because of the small size of the paper and the pitiful small characters on the paper, Xie Chi took a lot of effort to recognize it.
He read it page by page, and ten minutes later, he found a record of kappa paintings:
"Today I killed a cellmate and turned over this thing from him. He said that he found it in the snow on a certain layer of the Eight Cold Hells. I feel that it should be compared with the random layer drop and random change here. Layer, but I don’t know what's the use, just put it away first."
Xie Chi rolled up the picture, thoughtfully, this thing was found in hell, a bit like...opportunity.
Xie Chi frowned, the **** was boundless, finding this thing would take a lot of manpower, it shouldn't be useless.
He glanced at the date under the old man's diary: January 20.
The last page of the diary is March 23. Two months have passed, and the old man has yet to find out the usefulness of this thing.
Xie Chi spread out the painting again and touched it carefully from top to bottom, without ignoring any corners, but still nothing.
[I think there is a problem with the painting? ]
[Impossible, it's been two months, the old man who should touch must have touched it]
[Will it be pour a special liquid on the painting, there will be words appearing]
[You have watched a lot of TV series, let’s talk about it, where is the special liquid from this broken place-ah! I rely on! ]
Xie Chi found the thinner part of the ice layer, and used the knife left by the old man to smash the ice layer. The cold water under the ice layer was exposed, and Xie Chi plunged the painting into the water without hesitation.
[What is he doing? Ruin the painting? ]
[Fuck! ]
Xie Chi heard a "plop", like the sound of a frog jumping into the water. Perhaps it was too quiet around, and Xie Chi even heard the subtle ripples of duck webs splashing water.
Something jumped into the water from the painting.
Under the transparent ice layer, a green object was swimming happily. After a few seconds, the object plunged into the deep water and disappeared.
Xie Chi smiled and took the painting from the water, the kappa on the painting was gone.
The center of the scroll is blank, and only the word "Kappa" in the lower right corner proves that the painting was originally a lifelike Kappa.
The old man treats the picture scroll as a treasure, and keeps it so well, hiding it close to his body, it is impossible to let it get wet.
He kept scrutinizing, trying to unravel the hidden secrets. In fact, the kappa's habits have told the prisoner what the way to get the opportunity.
Kappa likes the water, just fill the painting completely into the water.
The app that has been silent for too long rang--
[Congratulations, you got an opportunity in hell: Kappa's choice was born. Human children cannot choose what kind of family they are born in. They can only be forced to accept it, but Kappa can. Happy Kappa can choose their parents and choose the environment they want. ]
[In the next layer change, you can choose the place of birth (except for Elysium), only once. ]
Xie Chi smiled, is this an alternative balance? He was unlucky and dropped to the bottom in the start, but got the opportunity by accident.
This way he doesn't have to worry about falling to the bottom again next time he changes floors.
The purpose has been unlocked, the blank picture scroll is useless, Xie Chi rolled the picture scroll, and then stuffed it back into the ice water.
Others are hell, and this thing cannot be seen by later people.
It will soon be covered by heavy snow. No one knows that there is a picture scroll and a cheerful kappa floating beneath the ice.
Xie Chi had only been busy for ten minutes, and his body was covered with a thick layer of snow. Fortunately, with the energy of the old man, he could not feel cold. It was already dark, and he was going to find a cave for the night.
The app sent a message, and the time here is going by 5 times faster, fifteen days, actually only three days, very fast.
It's beautiful here. The sky is as blue as filtered by water, and rootless snowflakes are overflowing. Maybe there will be aurora. If the brother is still there, they might be able to watch together.
Xie Chi had no choice but to say that the app was not so kind to separate him from his brother. It turned out to be acting alone. No wonder he generously promised to compensate 300 points after the shooting.
[Wow, basically killed inmates]
[Two died, so fast, how long is this time]
[Fortunately, there are many actors this time, almost twenty]
[Wait, Xie Chi got the choice of Kappa to be born, then can't Xie Chi go to the first floor of the eight heat in 15 days? ! ]
[The eighth heat layer is too comfortable, it's blooming in spring, Su Qing and this eye-born brother are very lucky, they will be here as soon as they land]
[Distressed my pool for three seconds, one in the sky and one underground, my pool is almost a caveman, it’s so hard to climb up]
...
This is the first floor of Bare Hell, and there are peach blossoms everywhere. The climate here is warm, the river is gurgling, and the scenery is pleasant. In the distance, there are even cabins for people to live in, looming in the shadows of the trees. The sky is dark, the white petals in the pink swirling and falling, quiet and beautiful, like a fairyland on earth.
The two walking in it walked without saying a word, the atmosphere was dull and depressing.
"May I help you look at the marks on the back of your neck?" Su Qing hesitated, or suggested.
"No." Xie Xinglan said.
Su Qing knew that he didn't believe in himself, and didn't force it anymore, after all, they were almost strangers.
Su Qing tilted his head to look at Xie Xinglan, and he noticed that the darker the sky, the more gloomy this person's face became. Su Qing is very sensitive. He can feel that this person is in extremely bad mood, and the feeling of manic depression is permeated in his bones. Of course, the manic depression has not affected his judgment. He is still calm and alienated, but he obviously has no mood to take care of himself.
Xie Xinglan is obviously not a lively character. Su Qing now feels that the person who laughed when communicating with Xie Chi before seemed to be his illusion.
He noticed something strange.
When Xie Xinglan looked at him condescendingly again, Su Qing stopped and clearly stated his feelings: "You want to kill me."
[what? ! ]
[Fuck? ? ]
Xie Xinglan didn't bother to look back, and said coldly, "You guessed wrong."
"Why?" Su Qing chased up and asked persistently, "Why didn't you try to kill me?"
Su Qing couldn’t understand it. This is obviously the most comfortable first level. He and Xie Xinglan do not have any competitive relationship. What is Xie Xinglan’s rudimentary killing intent? Killing him is obviously to Xie Xing. There is no benefit to lan.
Xie Xinglan sneered: "It has nothing to do with you."
Su Qing froze in place.
Has nothing to do with him? That is related to others.
Xie Xinglan wanted to kill him because of someone else.
They just saw the rules of **** on the stone tablet at the entrance of the valley-if Xie Xinglan killed him, he would fall into the first floor of the cold hell. If you are lucky, the people on the first floor of the cold **** will accept him. If you are not lucky, they will exploit themselves, then kill themselves and drive themselves into the next hell.
This is totally bad for me, but not good for Xie Xinglan, but obviously he is in the way of Xie Xinglan.
Why would he get in the way of Xie Xinglan?
Want to kill yourself is related to others...
Su Qing suddenly had a terrible thought, and he froze in place, his heart trembled.
One possibility made sense-Xie Xinglan wanted to kill himself and open the way to the next level.
When he kills himself, he will drop the floor, and the passage of the next floor will be opened.
Xie Xinglan wanted to take advantage of him to jump to the next floor.
Xie Xinglan wanted to leave here and go down.
He most likely wanted to... find someone.
Xie Chi...? The person he is looking for is...Xie Chi?
Su Qing felt a great sense of absurdity in her own conjecture, and at the same time was a little jealous.
Is Xie Chi that good? This is true of Xie Xinglan, and so is Shen Yi.
Su Qing shook his head, shaking out those untimely thoughts.
He doesn't know much about Xie Xinglan, but Xie Xinglan is not like a hesitant person. He didn't do anything to himself, maybe for some other reason. He had also taken action to protect himself before.
Su Qing hesitated, preparing to catch up with Xie Xinglan and let him kill him. Xie Xinglan killed him. He just dropped one layer. He has props and some methods, so he won't die...
Su Qing was thinking, a huge hole suddenly appeared under his feet at the end of the road ahead.
Xie Xinglan stopped abruptly.
A rope fell from the hole.
Su Qing ran over, looked down the entrance of the cave, and saw Ji Xingchen on the first floor of Cold Hell.
When Ji Xingchen saw his acquaintance, Su Qing, who was also the most kind-hearted, a surprise flashed in his eyes: "Su Qing, you quickly pull me up."
Ji Xingchen's sword was stained with blood, and the blood still had warmth.
Su Qing felt a chill in her heart. On the first floor of the comfortable cold hell, Ji Xingchen still killed inmates for that little energy.
Ji Xingchen wanted to get closer to the Elysium, and the hot **** floor was above the cold hell, the closest to the Elysium, so he killed his inmates.
Right now, Su Qing stood on the edge of the cave with his arms folded. Ji Xingchen felt that this was enough. Even if Su Qing didn't help him, he would definitely not be the one who cut the rope.
"Are you alone up there?" Ji Xingchen smiled gently, and asked as he climbed up the rope while holding on to it.
"It's okay for two people. We don't have a competitive relationship." Ji Xingchen tried to persuade the second person above while climbing. "One floor can stay three people. You should know my strength. I might be able to help you find the Paradise of Bliss. Our goal is the same..."
Su Qing heard a laugh, turned his head in surprise, and found that the extremely indifferent young man actually laughed.
Xie Xinglan felt strangely grateful for Ji Xingchen. Ji Xingchen's selfishness opened up his upward path, and also completely opened up his own downward path.
Xie Xinglan jumped up and down without hesitation.
Su Qing's eyes widened, and he had already guessed that when this scene really happened, he still had a cardiac arrest, and his nose was slightly sour.
Does Xie Xinglan like Xie Chi?
Someone in this world is willing to give up the warmth and comfort of the topmost layer, give up abundant energy and readily available information for Xie Chi, jump into the dark hell, fall into endless fighting, and torment in the harsh environment, just to find him.
Xie Xinglan will go all the way down and will find him.
Su Qing was very sure, he smiled, full of envy.
[Fuck! ! ! How come you still jump down? ! ]
[Oh my god? ? ! I am not wrong, right? ? ! ]
[Damn! ! ! Does he not want the first floor of such a comfortable hot hell? ! ]
[The first floor of the cold **** is okay, too? It’s slightly worse than the first floor of the hot hell]
[I have taken this. Why? People can’t climb up if they want to climb. There is another one who jumps down actively. Opening this hole is for Ji Xingchen to climb up, hello! ]
