The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

At dawn, Ersie was on the road again.

Xin still followed him far behind, and Erxi had already given up chasing this guy—because the other party corrected the direction from time to time, so that he could avoid many detours...be patient.

From the mouths of some candidates who met on the road before, Erxi already probably knew where the end point of this exam was (Xin also said it, but Erxi pretended not to hear it) - after crossing this snow mountain, the end point is on the other side at the foot of the mountain.On the way to the snow mountain, there are already many monsters blocking the way. Presumably, there will be more difficulties after going up the mountain. Erxi himself is not afraid, but he is a little worried about Heluomi——

Not only does this guy not have the aura of the protagonist, but he may also be eliminated by the world system as a threat at any time. For example, the accident in the first test yesterday was a random disaster. Erxi seriously suspected that it was "maliciousness from the world" (from Words of the World Salvation System), fortunately, I acted in time at that time, if Heluo Mi was really pulled into the magic circle that looked bad at first glance, I don't know what more troublesome things will happen.

Hope that kid lasts a little longer.Ersey thought.But don't be killed by a monster and get out early...

After walking for half a day, Erxi and the others met an acquaintance.

— Cecil.

Since they set foot on the snow mountain, they rarely saw candidates acting alone.After all, the terrain on the mountain is more complicated than that at the bottom of the mountain, and monsters basically move in groups. Even though Erxi disliked Xin in every possible way, he had to join forces to fight the enemy temporarily when he was besieged by monsters several times, so he saw that Cehir was actually alone When they reached the mountainside, Ersie was a little surprised.

However, Cecil was even more surprised.

As Xin's "most loyal little brother", he wanted to join Xin as soon as he was teleported here, but unfortunately there was no way to find him in the vast snowfield.

Thinking that since the end point is the same, they will meet each other sooner or later on the road, so Cecil rushed non-stop to the foot of the snow mountain. As a result, he encountered a group of storm eagles on the road, and was accidentally led by a huge storm eagle during the fight. In the sky, the other party took him all the way to the towering snow-capped mountains, as if he wanted to bring him back to the lair as a delicious snack.Cecil resisted fiercely, and finally succeeded in stabbing the Storm Eagle. The opponent let go of his sharp claws, and the boy also fell rapidly towards the ground from a high altitude. Fortunately, he had obtained the flying magic scroll when he knocked down the monster before, thus avoiding the fall. The fate of turning into a pool of mud-compared with being able to survive, the embarrassment when landing and the rolling and crawling when evading later can be ignored.

After hiding in the snow pit for a long time, Cecil tremblingly crawled out of the snow-covered pit until he was convinced that the annoying and cunning Storm Hawk had finally left.His intuition told him that the environment here was worse and more complicated than the environment at the foot of the mountain. Without weapons and sufficient magic scrolls, it was wise to find someone to form a team and go with him.

But Cecil really didn't expect that the first person he waited for was his long-cherished friend, Xin.This must be Goddess of Luck taking care of me! !

——Of course it would have been better if I hadn't seen that annoying and arrogant silver-haired guy.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Xixi?" The nasty guy greeted him with a smile, "Meet you again."

If it wasn't for being hungry, tired and lacking strength, Cecil swore that he would have beaten someone up.

"My name is Cecil, not some little Xixi!" The gray-haired boy gave Erxi a vicious look, strode forward, and grabbed Xin, "Let's go, ignore him."

"Let's go, let's go." Ersie was just wishing for it, and immediately beamed with joy, "Let's go!"

But Shin didn't move.Cecil tugged a few times without moving, and couldn't help but look at his friend in surprise.

"The situation on the mountain is too complicated, and it's dangerous to act alone." Xin said, "Let's go together."

"Of course," Cecil said inexplicably, "Isn't it just me walking with you?"

Xin turned his head to look at Erxi, and then looked at Cehir again.Cecil also glanced at Erxi in a daze, then turned back to meet Xin's gaze.

half an hour.

"Wait, are we... are we going to go with this guy?!!"

***

When the heavy snow fell halfway and the people on the road had to find a shelter from the wind for a temporary rest, Sehir still hadn't recovered.

He numbly lit the bonfire, numbly sat down against the cave wall, and numbly watched his best friend and the person he hated the most "bargain" in front of him.

"I don't need these two attack scrolls, here they are for you."

"You think my place is a garbage collection point? Just throw it to me if you don't want it?!"

"You can use it."

"Ha, I don't need any attack scrolls to deal with monsters... I said no! Take it away!!"

"Then it will be stored with you... here."

"Don't!!!! Can't you understand human language!!!"

"%W$%$..."

"#Q%R$%#&..."

Cecil: "..."

You don't want me! !I don't even have an attack scroll! !Give me a chance to show off! !Shameless me who can only hide behind you when you fight monsters! !

Cecil, who was full of grievances, looked at Xin eagerly, but unfortunately, the other party did not receive his begging signal at all, and in the end the scrolls were forced into Erxi's hands.Seeing Erxi's disgusted expression like being forced to swallow a fly with his head pressed down, Cehir almost wanted to immediately beat this ignorant guy into a pig's head.

The bonfire burned quietly, and the wind and snow outside the cave was slightly less than before.The waiting time was very boring. Xin Ben didn't talk much, Erxi was too lazy to talk, and Cecil was so shocked that he didn't want to talk at all. In the silence, Xin simply took out the map and continued to study the route. Erxi glanced at him With a glance, he also took out the map and looked at it "seriously"—although all he could understand was the hourglass pattern in the upper left corner.

It was already the afternoon of the second day after they entered the snow field, and nearly half of the quicksand flowed from the hourglass, which meant that they only had a maximum of four days for this game.On the fourth day, if they have not reached the finish line, it means that they will become the losers who will be eliminated.

I don't know where Hei Luomi is now...

Erxi frowned slightly, but his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly looked up and looked out of the cave.

"What's wrong?" The other party's violent reaction caught Xin's attention.

Ersie didn't answer. He kept staring out of the cave with a focused expression. Then he showed a slightly confused expression and tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening carefully.

"What are you pretending to be doing?" Cecil said angrily.

"You..." Ersie hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Did you hear the singing?"

Both Xin and Cecil were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other.

"No." Xin replied.

"Are you hallucinating?" Cecil snorted coldly, "There is nothing outside except the sound of the wind."

Ersie frowned.

He was sure that he heard it right, although it was far away, he was sure that it was the singing of a young girl, ethereal and ethereal, beautiful and pleasant, like the fragrance of lotus in the night, penetrated the whistling night wind, and penetrated clearly into his body ear.

——And what made him even more concerned was that he felt the singing voice was very familiar.

It’s just that Erxi couldn’t remember where he had heard it. After all, he had experienced too many reincarnations, and each experience was different, so it was impossible to tell the difference.

"I'm going to take a look." Ersie stood up suddenly, and was about to walk out of the cave.

"No." Xin also stood up quickly, dodging in front of Erxi.

Erxi stared at Xin, and Xin also looked at Erxi, both of them were unyielding. The cave suddenly became terribly quiet, only the whistling of the wind outside could be heard.Cecil was startled by the sudden chilling atmosphere, he looked left and right, but didn't dare to make a sound for a long time.

Suddenly, Erxi rushed to the right, and at the same time, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the sharp black knife shot forward like a hidden weapon to block his Xin.The blond boy was clearly unarmed, but when the sharp blade was about to stab him, he raised his arm to block it. The knife hit the opponent's magic scroll that was suddenly horizontal in front of his arm, and was deeply embedded in it.

Ersie was taken aback, and in the next second, the magic scroll that was supposed to have been pierced and destroyed actually emitted bright green light, like soft water waves spreading, and Ersie felt his whole body go limp just by being illuminated by the green light. , he was in a bad mood, and wanted to quickly step out of the range of the green light, but he felt his feet sinking. When he looked down, the ground under his feet sank like a swamp. The more he struggled, the faster he sank, and it was swallowed up in an instant To the position of the calf.

...Ahhhhhhhhhh! !

The green light dissipated quickly, and the ground returned to its original shape, but Ersie's legs were completely sunk in the thick ground, unable to move.All of this happened extremely quickly, within a few breaths, but the reversal of the situation has turned the world upside down.

"Xin! Are you okay?" Cecil ran to Xin in shock, looked at his friend nervously, and then glared at Erxi angrily, "You, how dare you sneak attack just now!! Too Despicable!!"

More than a sneak attack.Ersey thought.If he could, he really wanted to kill this impostor with one blow, but it turned out to be the same as what the system assistant said before... Under the protection of the world system, this person can easily deal with any crisis.

"Cehir, don't be rude."

Xin Dandan blocked Cecil's righteous indignation and cursing with one sentence, and then he continued to sit down and study the map as if nothing had happened, the cloud was so light and breezy, as if he just patted the dust casually.

"Let me out." Erxi glared at the boy sitting in front of the campfire, and said bitterly.

Xin glanced at the increasingly violent snowstorm outside, then at Ersie, and shook his head.

"I can't let you out, it's too dangerous."

Ersey really wanted to curse, but no matter how much he yelled, Xin ignored him.

Helpless, Erxi could only sit down on the spot with a dark face, and Cehir muttered "I don't know what's good for you", and returned to the campfire to continue to warm up.

In this small cave space, peace returned.And the singing voice that echoed in Erxi's ear also gradually weakened until it turned into a wisp of mist that seemed to disappear and completely melted in the howling cold wind.At the moment when the singing disappeared, Erxi felt a huge sense of loss in his heart, as if a stone had been thrown into the lake of his heart. The feeling of regret rippled in circles in his heart until he returned to calm.

...still missed it.

He didn't know how he had such an idea, but he felt that all the strength in his body seemed to be drained with the disappearance of the singing, and drowsiness unknowingly enveloped his entire consciousness. The silver-haired young man gradually closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep .

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

In a trance, I seemed to hear singing.

Ethereal and misty, soft and sad, like a light smoke that seems to be absent, coming from a distant time and space.

——It also has a strange sense of familiarity.

In normal times, I would definitely search for the source of this familiarity, but now, I don't have any time to think.

There was a faint throbbing pain in my chest, just like countless previous reincarnations, this piercing pain in my chest will remain until the beginning of the next reincarnation—it will remind me of the end of the last time, and the beginning of the next time.

I know, I need to get out of here quickly, and after a while, those people will enter this cave.Of course, that person... will appear in front of me again.

But now I can't do it.

I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes, I just lay quietly in the blood coffin, motionless.

The singing still lingers in my ears, like an invisible hand gently soothing me.Although it was a very sad and bleak tone, I could also hear the tenderness and worry contained in it. For the first time, I had an irresistible urge.

I want to sleep.

I want to be immersed in this gentle and sad song, and fall asleep forever and ever.

— Never again, don't wake up.
