"It's not that I didn't think about leaving her somewhere by myself."

With a crisp sound of opening the bottle, the bottle cap silently rolled down on the thick carpet. Qing Jiuliu held up the bottle like an old cow drinking water. After drinking a few mouthfuls without tasting it, he sighed with great satisfaction; As soon as the wine was drunk, his eyes gradually brightened, as if reflecting the night pool of broken stars.

"... especially when I realized that you didn't appear in any of the twelve realms in the second year."

He looked at the bottle in his hand and whispered, "I was carrying another unconscious body alone at that time. I didn't bear to leave her alone, and I knew that I would be greatly dragged down... I was trapped in anxiety and helplessness day by day, and I had to wait. When the situation forced me to take her with me, I could be forgiven by my conscience while leaving her."

Lin Sanjiu couldn't say anything, because there was nothing that could stuff her anxiety and urgency in those days and her shame and gratitude now into Qing Jiuliu's hands; She couldn't think of anything that could iron out his struggles and hardships over the years.

"Sorry," finally she can only say these weightless words, "I..."

"I know, you probably have too much time for yourself."

Qing Jiuliu glanced at her and said, "I tell you, at that time, as long as someone is willing to listen, I will scold you. If no one listens, I will scold you at the big witch. Don't look at me racking my brains to scold you so many times, but I know that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you will rush here desperately... The reason why you don't appear must be because you can't appear."

Lin Sanjiu felt his blood was burning all over. For a moment, he wanted to laugh, appreciate his understanding, and bury his head in his lap and cry softly.

In the midst of her emotional agitation, there was a very clear idea: if Qing Jiuliu had the opportunity to exchange swearing experience with the puppet master, she would have no good life.

"Speaking of it, you did something that even my former psychological counselor didn't do."

Qing Jiuliu leaned on the chair and stretched a long stretch. "Because of taking the big witch, I can't live a leisurely life like the mud before. I can't put her aside. I'm looking for wine everywhere, and I'll sleep on the roadside for a night when I'm drunk. Don't say no one cares. When I watch her, I don't know how many ghosts and monsters come. If I turn my head, the big witch will dare to give me a set of skin."

"Then what happened?" Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice. I don't know why, and I couldn't help laughing. "How did you fall into this copy?"

"What is' falling '," Qing Jiuliu waved his hand, very offended: "make you say as if I was trapped here, I chose this myself."

Lin Sanjiu was stunned. "Did you choose to be a copy employee?"

"More than that," Qing Jiuliu slowly swallowed a mouthful of wine before saying, "I took the initiative to find this copy."

"What?" Lin Sanjiu simply stammered a little, "why, why?"

Qing Jiuliu seemed to have held back his scheming and intelligence for too long by himself. Now he was finally able to show his beautiful feathers to others, and his face lit up with dazzling pride: "after entering the Karl Museum, I realized that you might not come, but I couldn't live like this with the great witch, so I came up with a way."

Lin Sanjiu almost fell on the table, but Qing Jiuliu looked down at his watch and suddenly said, "ah, I almost forgot."

"What?"

"When you enter the VIP room, you must start gambling, or you will be expelled." Qing Jiuliu said, patting the gambling table, and the next second, countless gambling tools fell from the air; Some Lin Sanjiu knew, some didn't know, and many others seemed to have nothing to do with gambling, which was even mixed with a clanking soup pot.

"The gambling content can be decided by the dealer. What are you good at? We can choose an easy one and say while gambling."

Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth and couldn't tap into the potential of many gambling kings on himself, so he had to choose a game he had heard of: "HMM... black, Black Jack?"

"Hey, I can't see. Do you know Black Jack?"

Qing Jiuliu stood up and raised his hand in the air. A string of playing cards suddenly flowed up like a dragon, snapping together in his palm. It's just a simple deal, but it's easy for him to do it; Especially when qingjiuliu is clean and tidy without camouflage, it's like a magnet with its own dragon palace effect - people can't help looking at it, but after you think you've only seen it for a few minutes.

"At that time, I thought that the best situation I could pursue was to let me and the great witch not be transmitted and stay in a place safely, so that you would have the greatest possibility to find us. Secondly, this place could not cause danger to me and the great witch... Not only me at that time, I'm afraid that in anyone's view, this is impossible to achieve. In the whole doomsday world, there is no place that can accommodate this desire... So I know, I We must jump out of common sense. So I thought of a copy. "

When Qing Jiuliu finished, he had two more cards in his hand; Lin Sanjiu also put a red Q in front of her, and a card with her back to her.

"This is almost an impossible task," she sighed. "When people think of copies, they only think of strangeness and danger... But you find life in the most terrible place?"

"I did a lot of research in the Karl Museum at that time," Qing jiuliusong smiled lazily, Say: "Of course, I don't want to become a replica creature, so how can I use it? The answer must lie in a replica with different rules. So I have studied almost all the tempting replicas in the karma Museum, whether it's the information obtained from the '100000 world transfer dream' or the oral narration in the streets... Finally, I realized that there was a desolate large replica on this island, Maybe it can be used by me. "

Lin Sanjiu listened intently, and when he stopped, he urged, "then?"

Qing Jiuliu looked at her, and the two stared at each other in silence for a second or two. Qing Jiuliu finally said, "what do you think I'm doing? You play cards."

"Oh, yes," Lin Sanjiu reacted. He quickly opened the card and saw a 10. "Then I should ask for cards, right?"

Qing Jiuliu narrowed his eyes, slowly knocked the card with face 8, and asked, "are you sure?"

Black Jack seems to collect points through cards. Although Lin San Jiu can't remember exactly how many points to collect, he remembers that it is bigger than the 20 points she has in hand anyway; She slapped the table with pride and said, "yes!"

"You burst," when Qing Jiuliu threw her a 5, he couldn't help complaining, "you couldn't play Black Jack?"

"How much should I pay you?" Lin Sanjiu didn't take it personally. "I made a lot of money outside, enough for you to finish the story."

"You're lucky. Your charge official is unfair, abusing power for personal gain, and is willing to accept another bottle of wine."

Lin San chuckled, took a bottle of whisky from the card library and handed it over: "you continue to say, I happen to have a lot of this kind of wine."

Qing Jiuliu looked at the bottle of wine that Yu Yuan had advised her to put away and used to appease the puppet master at the critical moment. He was very happy and praised "has your taste improved?", Then he continued: "dragging a dead witch from every road provided by the copy to the terminal casino... It's really not an easy thing. I feel tired to fight now. But I know that when I completely beat the challenges on every road and reach the terminal, I at least have a foundation for communication."

"Every one?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened, "have you walked through every road outside?"

"At that time, the copy has not developed so many ways," Qing Jiuliu waved his hand and said, "it seems that there are only twenty or thirty."

"So... Then?"

I don't know why, Qing Jiuliu looked at the big and small things on the gambling table and kept silent for a few seconds before quietly saying, "the conclusion is actually very simple. It's just a sentence... I'm the first human employee in this copy."

Lin Sanjiu sighed.

"Why?" She thought for a while and asked, "is it true that this copy started with you before deciding to recruit employees?"

"It may be incredible to say, but I negotiated with the replica for a long time and used all the means I think I can convince it... Although I still don't know the specific operation principle of the replica, I understood one thing at that time. Any replica must constantly attract people to enter in order to maintain. This replica,"

Qing Jiuliu said, raising his hand and comparing it with the surroundings, saying, "luck is not very good. He was born in the middle of the sea, and he is not reliable on all sides. He is not a particularly unlucky evolutionist. Generally speaking, he can't bump into it. At that time, it was said to be a hard life, and it was light."

"Now..." Lin Sanjiu looked around.

"A very important reason why I was able to convince the replica at that time was that I told it that humans can bring more humans to the replica... And with the participation of human employees, the replica path can be more diverse, targeted and complete."

Qing Jiuliu sighed and said, "but I can't have a clear conscience if I let more people die in the copy in the future because of my selfishness... So I reached a consensus with the copy that those who fail in the copy can be accepted as employees by the copy and punished for failure in the form of working for several years."

He said here, looking at the slightly shaking liquid in the wine bottle, Whispered: "in recent years, I have always felt like a giant sea animal. I don't know which small action will cause waves on the distant sea. I don't want to be unbalanced in the mathematical problem of human life, so I'm more and more cautious... Except for using a little means to finally attract you to the copy, I haven't made any real changes for the copy for a long time."

Lin Sanjiu originally wanted to ask "what means", but intuitively realized that before he finished speaking, I'm afraid the focus is still behind.

"Recently, I have become more and more suspicious that the copy eats marrow and knowledge from human employees, and wants to keep these people forever..." Qing Jiuliu looked at his hand and murmured, "I often think that I am now a kind of evolutor and a kind of copy creature?"

When Lin Sanjiu was startled, another insight suddenly came into her mind - which also made her fall into the ice.

"Shenpo..." she said to herself, "shenpo refers to 'powerful and beautiful creature'... So it's you."
