The candlelight is flickering.

Mu Qin saw a lot of candle lights on the ground, the kind that has a small round metal candlestick with candles on it. There are many candle lights. They are placed everywhere on the ground in the corner and in the small space sunken in the cave wall. Each lamp is burning with a flame, which is a very warm yellow light.

Although these candlelights are not very luminous, once they increase in number, they can illuminate the cave behind the waterfall curtain so that the scene in this cave can be seen in front of Muchin.

Mu Qin could see a huge chair in the depths of the cave. Many vines and thorns grew in the rock walls and cracks beside the chair, which surrounded or even wrapped the huge chair.

The chair is a typical European-style throne, but it does not have a soft seat backrest, golden trim or European-style carving. It is made of ice crystals, with sharp ice cones erected on the back of the chair, and the armrests are random and irregular polygons. It is very huge, and there is no problem with three or four people sitting on it.

Moreover, there are a lot of vines and thorns entwined around the chair, entangled in the back and armrests of the chair, and the person sitting on it will be stabbed by the thorns if it is not paying attention, and the pain will be unbearable.

This cold and painful chair, the only thing worth admiring is the butterfly. Large swaths of red flowers bloom on the thorny vines, attracting many butterflies that emerge from nowhere. They are colorful butterflies. It seems There are more than a dozen of them, constantly surrounding the Ice Crystal Throne.

Muqin passed through the countless candlelights placed by his feet, and approached the butterfly throne. Through the dense vines and thorns, he could see the person sitting on the throne, and that person was sitting there. With his head down, sitting motionless, it was like falling into an eternal sleep.

Mu Qin approached him (her). When he walked close enough, the thorn vines blocked Mu Qin’s progress. Without thinking about it, Mu Qin reached out and grabbed the thorny thorns and pulled it away. , He ignored the pain caused by the stabbing on his hand, countless his **** hands, his attention was completely focused on the man sitting on the throne, he knew he was going to pass, he must pass.

Mu Qin, who had passed through countless thorns and was covered in blood, finally walked to the throne. Through the flickering candlelight around, he could see the people sitting on the throne, but then Mu Qin was surprised to find... A person!

Yes, there are two people sitting on this butterfly throne!

It's just these two people, one is sitting and the other is lying down. The Butterfly Throne is very big, there is no problem lying on it, but the person lying there must be curled up.

However, the man who was lying curled up was dead, and after a long time, he turned into a set of white bones. Based on the shape of the bone and the size of the pelvis, Mu Qin could speculate that it was a woman’s bones. Gu Baigu was also wearing tattered and tailored clothes, which should be the fixed gray clothing of the players in the game.

The sitting person is still alive. Unlike the woman who has become a boneless woman, this is a flesh and blood man. His hair grows to the waist and his head is bowed in a disheveled manner, so he can't see his face. He had no clothes on his upper body, only a pair of tattered trousers with a lot of trouser legs missing.

The living man sat close to the woman's bones, and let the head of the woman's bones rest on his thigh, his hand even gripped the phalanx of the woman's hand tightly. He seemed to maintain this posture for a long time, his whole person looked stiff, and his body was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Mu Qin could imagine that when this woman died, the man had been holding her hand tightly, and they sat on this chair together, in the dark cave, welcoming the end of the world.

Mu Qin’s sudden arrival did not cause the man to react at all. He still sat in silence with his head down. Mu Qin quietly looked at him for a while. He was not sure whether the man was asleep or not. Purely sleeping, Muqin decided to get closer to each other.

So Mu Qin stepped unhurriedly and moved closer to this butterfly throne. The place he stepped on left his own blood footprints, because he just passed through the thorny thorns, Mu Qin's hands and feet -The body was full of thorns and blood was flowing, but Muqin didn't seem to feel the pain.

Muqin was close enough to this man, he was already standing in front of him.

Then Muqin thought for a moment, stretched out his hand to touch the man's hair, he wanted to look at his face.

But just as Mu Qin stretched out his hand, the person sitting motionless on the throne suddenly reacted. As soon as Mu Qin stretched out his hand, the opponent quickly raised his other hand and grabbed it. Lived on Muqin's wrist.

Mu Qin was taken aback by him, and he subconsciously stepped back and tried to shake off the opponent's hand, but the man grasped very tightly, his nails were very long, and he almost fell into Mu Qin's flesh and blood. Here, for some reason, Mu Qin, who had just been pricked by thorns, didn't feel any pain. When he was pinched by this man's nails, Mu Qin frowned with pain.

He lowered his voice and said, "Let go of me."

The opponent did not respond, and still held Muqin's hand tightly, but relaxed a little. Then the man was silent for a long time before slowly raising his head and looking at Mu Qin.

Mu Qin finally vaguely saw the other party's face from the cracks in the other's noisy hair, a dirty face, covered with dust and black dirt, and a pair of muddy eyes.

From the look of his face, this man is probably in his thirties. He has a good-looking appearance. He has a strong temperament and a strong body. Moreover, his face... makes Mu Qin look familiar, but Mu Qin looks familiar. Qin can pack a ticket and say that he has never seen this man before.

So who is he?

The man and Mu Qin looked at each other for a long time. The eyes of the other party were quite muddy, giving people a feeling of unconsciousness. Mu Qin could not even confirm whether the other party was really looking at him. Mu Qin felt that this guy seemed to see through Muqin was staring at "others."

For a long time, the man talked with Muqin in a hoarse voice. He said, "Who are you?"

Mu Qin thought a little and replied: "My name is Mu Qin."

"Mu...Qin...?" The man's voice made a crackling gong, probably because he hadn't spoken for a long time. The voice was really not good, but Mu Qin could hear the voice of the other party. With a trace of astonishment, as if very incredible, the man asked: "Why did you come here... You shouldn't be here..."

Mu Qin pursed his lips: "Why shouldn't I come?"

The man no longer looked at Mu Qin, but lowered his head and released his grip on Mu Qin. He continued hoarsely and said, "There is nothing here, there is nothing you want, and I can't give you. Yes, so go back...leave me alone."

"Who are you?" Muqin also asked this crucial question.

The man replied: "You will not be interested in knowing who I am."

"Of course I am interested. I want to know who you are now." Muqin asked persistently, "Tell me who you are."

"I don't remember." The man compromised slightly under Muqin's questioning. He said, "I have been here for too long, and I have forgotten who I am."

"What about this woman?" Muqin moved his gaze to the bones curled up beside him.

The man said: "She is my prisoner."

"Prisoner?" Mu Qin puzzled.

The man laughed suddenly. He made a weird laugh with his bad gong voice and said to Muqin: "Yes, I imprisoned her here, so she is my prisoner."

Muchin paused at what the man said, and then said: "But she is dead and turned into a skeleton. Can you call it your "prisoner"?"

Mu Qin made the man's head lower with a word. Mu Qin noticed that his hand holding the woman's phalanx was shaking, trembling severely. He trembled for a long time, and said to Mu Qin: "Even if I die, I am still a prisoner. ."

After that, he seemed to get excited, raised his volume and shouted unkindly at Muqin: "Don't dangle in front of me, get out of here! Get out of my world."

Mu Qin ignored his unfriendliness, looked around, and said to the man: "You said this is your world?"

The man said: "Of course this is my world! I am the only master of this world!"

The man said that he was getting a little impatient. He was eager to drive Muqin out of here, and then he began to control his own power. Under his will, the vines surrounding the Butterfly Throne suddenly became active, like It was a twisting viper, rushing up to Mu Qin swiftly.

Mu Qin felt the threat, and subconsciously stepped back and tried to avoid the attack of these vines, but this place was full of vines and thorns in all directions, and Mu Qin had nowhere to hide. The more he backed up, the more one he became. The foot stepped into the thorns behind him.

Just before he stepped on the thorns, the vines rushed up to tie him up, and vigorously lifted Mu Qin. Mu Qin was entangled in the vines and hung in the air.

After catching Mu Qin, the man continued to say to Mu Qin: "You should leave here, don't come back."

Mu Qin was unwilling. He couldn't get rid of these weird but powerful vines, so he shouted: "You have to tell me who you are!?"

"Why should I tell you?" The man seemed to disdain, "I don't know you and have nothing to do with you. You are just a stranger who broke into my world. Of course I want to drive you out."

"Nonsense!" Muqin suddenly became angry. He felt a layer of anger surged in his chest. He shouted to the man: "You know me clearly!"

The man finally raised his head and stared at Mu Qin with those turbid black eyes: "No matter if I know you or not, you shouldn't come here. This is not the place you should pursue. You live your life well. Is life bad?"

"Life?" Mu Qin suddenly sneered at the man, "Are you referring to the countless reincarnations of life and death in the fringe world? Or the Butterfly Throne sitting under your butt? This is my life, you want me to live it. Is it such a day?"

Mu Qin's words seemed to make the man stunned. He glared at Mu Qin and said unbelievably, "No...you can't...she didn't touch the white card to you, you can't get into the edge. This is impossible in the world!"

The man's words almost enabled Muchin to confirm his identity.

Muqin said: "You are right. I am indeed no longer interested in who you are, but I want to know your prisoner. I am not here to find you."

"The prisoner...she is dead, as you can see, she is not there anymore." The man suddenly became very depressed. He stopped ordering the vines to hang Muchin, but put Muchin down, and then the man He lowered his head again: "I am the only one left."

"You are the only one left...what am I?" Muqin reached out and wiped the blood from his face, then sneered.

"Mu Qin... listen to me." After a moment of silence, the man said to Mu Qin, "You should not have died, but you have entered the fringe world, right?"

"Yes." Muqin recalled the ghost girl in the library map before, "Someone told me that this is because I was born in a fringe world."

"You were indeed born from a fringe world... you were born here." The man lowered his head, holding the finger bones of the woman's bone, "She gave birth to you, and she wants to send you back to reality World, and we did it."

"Is my biological father you?" Mu Qin asked calmly.

"Yes." After a long period of silence, the other party answered Mu Qin calmly, "I have the death card on my body and I won't die, so I have always maintained this appearance."

Muqin said: "So you tied her to death like this?"

The man did not speak, as if by default.

After a while, he said: "I can't bear her, so I tied her here and let her stay with me forever."

Mu Qin ignored the man’s answer. Mu Qin approached the man two steps. He mainly wanted to see the bones around him. The bones of this dead woman were very thin and the bones were very thin, so Mu Qin could imagine her life. That kind of skinny and fragile appearance was just like the ghost mother he had met many years ago.

"You killed her." Muqin realized that he couldn't look away at all. He kept staring at the bone in silence, "You killed my mother."

"If you want revenge, you can kill me." The man said to Muchin, "but I don't recommend you to do this, because once I die, you will be the next target of this throne."

"I won't kill you." Muqin no longer looked at his mother's bones, but turned his gaze to the disheveled and exhausted man, "I want you to sit in this chair forever."

The man smiled bitterly at Muqin, and clenched the finger bones of the female corpse in his hand: "It's great, I think so too, I want to sit here forever with her."

"So did you get what you wanted? It's really infuriating." Mu Qin sneered at him, "You pushed the person you love into the abyss."

The man closed his mouth again and said nothing. The air became quiet for a moment. After Mu Qin took a deep breath, he said to the man: "Tell me what is going on, I want to know everything."

The man seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally compromised and said: "Yes, I do have to tell you everything."

"Actually, this is a very simple story." The man said, "I teamed up with her and entered the game together. I won the Death card, but we met a very difficult master. I didn’t have any of them. Kill, they all ran away, only she stayed, because as long as she goes, I will be obliterated by the system along with this map."

"She didn't want me to die, she said she would stay here with me forever."

"This is a good map, because there are waterfalls as water sources, and there are many trees and plants growing on the cliffs, among which are edible wild fruits, and there is light on the tiankeng. Although most of the time is cloudy, Occasionally, I can see a ray of sunlight coming in. No matter what, I can feed her my flesh and blood."

The man paused, seeming to fall into the memory: "I admit that I am selfish, I don't want to die, so I tried my best to keep her here... It was good at first, we are all fine, but with As time passed, she always looked up at the light projected on the tiankeng. The entrance of the tiankeng was the exit from the map. There were two ways to go out. One was to find the rock climbing tool in the cave and climb up directly, and the other was to find There is a road to the outside in the maze of caves."

"I was very worried. I thought she wanted to leave. We stayed in this map for a long time, a dark place with no sun. There was no one but each other... staying in this place for a long time, let’s Everyone is going crazy, so there is nothing wrong with her wanting to go out, but I am scared...I don't want to be left behind."

"Then at this moment, I found such a chair on the map, a butterfly throne made of ice crystals."

Mu Qin could almost think of the ending, and he laughed: "So you sit on this chair and use the power of the throne to trap her with these vines and thorns. She has become your prisoner in the true sense. ', and she was still pregnant with your child."

The man stretched out his hand to cover his face: "Yes, that's it. At that time, she didn't show rejection or resistance to her being restrained by me. She only said that she hoped that I could think of a way to remove her after the child was born. Send it out, she doesn't want her child to be tied to this map."

"I agreed. Although I don’t know what to do, after you were born, I did use the power of the throne to send you out. You were born in this world with a very special physique. Like that white card, it can be shuttled back and forth between reality and the fringe world... But before sending you out, she became very weak after giving birth. She had been malnourished for a long time in this map, and the birth of the child was taken away. Her last strength, so after feeding you several times, she died of weakness."

"So you want to say that I was the one who killed my mother?" Muqin's tone was full of mockery.

The man shook his head slightly: "I didn't mean that...If I let go and sent her away from this picture, she wouldn't die at all, she shouldn't have died... I did kill her."

"Since she is dead, the ghost I saw when I was a child is indeed mother?" Muqin was puzzled: "Why did I see her soul?"

"The power of the throne allows me to save her soul." The man said, "This is amazing. I don't understand how I did it, but I did give her some power to make her soul. You can enter and leave the world freely. She said she wanted to see you and see you grow up, so I let her go. She would look at you for a long time every time, and then she would come back and tell me how you are. She was very happy. She was happier when she was alive, and I was so happy when she was happy. I thought we could maintain this state forever."

"But one day, she began to disappear, her soul became more and more transparent, no matter how much power I instilled in her, she was gradually disappearing, she also began to become delirious, she seemed to realize that she I really have to leave. After saying goodbye to me, I disappeared."

The man was very calm when he told these things, and he seemed to be sad, and there was pain in his hoarse voice: "I was left by someone in the end, no matter how many methods I use to keep her...in the end, she left it to I only have this bone, so I can only sit here and wait for the end of everything."

When the man said this, he was very sad: "I won't go anywhere, Muchin... But I hope you can leave here and leave this world."

"It's impossible." Muqin said, "I don't know what's going on. I am always being pulled back into this world. I am not dead, I have not been in contact with white cards or any medium, and I will enter Edge world."

Muqin's words made the man think for a long time, and then he sighed: "You are a child who shouldn't be born."

"Why do you say that?"

The man shook his head slightly: "Don’t mind. I didn’t expect your birth. When she was pregnant, I was very happy. We all thought that having a child would change this cruel situation. I’m really very Looking forward to your appearance, but thinking about it now, you really shouldn't be born."

"Is it because my birth directly caused my mother's death?" Muqin asked.

The man shook his head: "No, it’s not this... I mean... Muchin, your mother and I are all people who have died in the real world. We have been reborn in a different way in the fringe world, but This does not mean that we are alive. The child born after we two "dead" fell in love, that is, you...nor are you alive."

Muqin immediately understood what the man meant. He said, "In other words, I have been a dead person since I was born."

"Yes...you have no soul." The man raised his head and stared at Muchin. "You are different from me and your mother. Although we are dead, our soul is here, but you don't have...you From the beginning, there is no soul, no emotion, but you have your own will. You don’t cry or laugh when you are born, and you only use crying to express your needs when necessary. You are an empty shell that can think."

The man’s words made Muqin feel a little creepy. Muqin said, “You said I have no soul and no emotions? It’s impossible. I can fall in love with others... I will even feel that you killed my mother. Angry."

"It's just because you have lived in human society for too long and have gradually learned to imitate human emotions." The man told Muqin the truth cruelly: "The real you do have no soul and feelings, and I believe you have something in yourself. Experience. You can indeed have feelings for others in many situations, but this kind of feeling is only your sane brain tells you to do so, so that it conforms to the standards of society, conforms to the values ​​of human beings, and enables you to live better... ...To live more like a'person'."

Mu Qin felt that his heart twitched a little for no apparent reason, and it was beating too violently in his chest, which made Mu Qin feel painful: "You mean my feelings for my loved one, my feelings for my mother, and my feelings for you. Feelings, are these all false? Are they all the feelings that came out of my feeling that “it should be done this way” is better to do this?”

"I am not sure if it is false." The man said he could do nothing. "I don't think it will affect you. You are well educated by the foster parents. Even if you didn't have it, they all taught If you want to own it, you can choose to do whatever you want, as long as you feel it is right."
