On the Seven Towers

Selinda pulled the knife out of a monster's body. The monster fell down and turned into light spots floating in the air. She bent over and put her hands on her knees, panting.

Those monsters are getting stronger and stronger. The power of the dead monsters will be enriched into the remaining monsters, making them stronger and more agile. Fortunately, these monsters still lack fighting skills, otherwise Selinda would find it difficult to survive the battle just now.

One against four, those monsters with long arms and legs surrounded her from all sides, making it difficult for her to take advantage of her dexterity. She had to resist several attacks, leaving several deep bloody marks on her back and arms.

"You, are you okay? Your back was injured by those monsters. We have to find something to bandage you." Li Jia's voice came from behind. This Li Jia was wearing sportswear and holding a mop in his hand. , he also participated in the battle just now, but although his courage was commendable, the result of the battle was that Selinda suffered two more attacks. "I'm really, really sorry. I'm not good at fighting and I'm dragging you down."

Selinda rolled her eyes at him and whispered: "Fortunately you don't know how to do it, otherwise I would have been doomed a long time ago."

"What did you say?" Li Jia asked confused.

"Nothing. Let's continue." Selinda straightened up, checked the status of the two knives in her hands, and prepared to continue looking for bad luck on the monster.

"But what about the injury on your back?"

"Am I bleeding?"

"Hey, it really doesn't happen. How could this happen?"

"You don't understand even after I tell you." Selinda sighed, "This is a body made up of consciousness. This is not the real world. Wounds that don't bleed are the same regardless of whether they are treated or not."

"Are you saying this is a virtual space?" Li Jia asked.

This time Selinda couldn't understand. But there was a look of surprise on her face: "Do you understand what I mean? Can you think about it?"

"I... I don't know. After you killed those monsters just now, my thinking seemed a little clearer. It's like... I washed my face after waking up from sleep, and I felt a lot more energetic." Li Jia wiped it. He said with confusion on his face.

"Then do you remember me?"

"I...didn't I just meet you? There seems to be a biological crisis here. You rescued me from the monsters, and then we walked all the way here."

Selinda looked disappointed, but she quickly cheered up again.

"It doesn't matter. Once we kill all the monsters, I believe you will remember it. Let's go."

Li Jia didn't move. He dropped the mop, held his head, and asked in confusion: "Is this world a god game? Or is it a time travel? Why are there only two of us normal people here? Why are there no police and military here? ? No, no, you are not a normal person. Normal people will not kill these monsters with such a straight face. You must have fought like this many times. Who are you? where?"

Selinda tightened her grip on the knife handle, fearing that the other person would suddenly turn into a monster again. But this time, Li Jia seemed to be much more stable. After he questioned her a few times, he just stared at her blankly without any further changes.

"I am your fiancée." Selinda thought with some self-deprecation. I am afraid that no fiancée needs to emphasize her identity in front of her fiancé so many times. "This is your and my world. I don't know what a policeman is. It’s just you and me here anyway.”

"Fiancée? Fiancée." Li Jia repeated the two words in confusion.

"I hope you will remember my identity before my patience runs out. Otherwise you will be miserable." Selinda waved the knife in her hand and said confidently.

"I...I don't know what this fiancée means, but when I hear these three words, I feel very happy." Li Jia's eyes swept across Selinda's face, as if to remember her appearance , after a while, his face turned slightly red, and he whispered: "I don't know why, but I really want to hold you. Is that okay?"

Selinda's hand holding the knife trembled more and more violently. She stared at him for a long time before softly uttering two words: "Okay."

He opened his arms and hugged her, and she stabbed his chest with a knife.

"Why..." The face of "Li Jia" began to twist and change, turning into the face of a monster dying, "How did you find out... I look so much like him."

"Don't underestimate a woman's feelings!" Selinda suddenly drew her knife and plunged it into the monster's chest again. "You greedy monsters, you will never know how he looks at me! Damn you bastard! Go to hell!" Go to hell! Go to hell!”

She stabbed hard, and again and again, the monster fell to the ground, turned into a tattered doll by her.

When Selinda stopped the knife, she found herself paralyzed on the ground. The monster had long since turned into a point of light and returned to the world, and she was already in tears. "Li Jia... Li Jia... don't test me anymore. I... I can't hold on anymore. I'm really afraid that one day I will see the real you and stab you with a knife..."

"Am I asleep or am I awake?"

"If I'm awake, why is it so dark?"

"If I was asleep, why would I be thinking this way?"

"Or am I dreaming?"

"However, people always seem to be involved in turbulence in dreams, and they can't help themselves. But I know that I can think and think; I can also think about nothing and let my mind fall into peace. Peace is like death..."

"But now I don't want to be calm."

"Because in addition to distinguishing between awake and asleep, I have more important things to figure out. Very important things. So important that they are like a part of me."

"But what is that?"

"What exactly is it?"

"Maybe, maybe I should remember from the beginning..."

"I am..., the name is not important, a child born in a big city."

"My father is from the north, with the boldness of the north. My mother is from the central region, and she also has the fierceness of the central region."

"But I am not like them, I am... silent. I think behind the boldness is hypocrisy, and behind the fierceness is timidity."

"I choose to be silent quietly."

"Silence is not a reason, nor an excuse, nor an escape, it is just my nature."

"People always admire their own kind, but I am an outlier at home."

"So I planted silence and harvested loneliness."

"They think loneliness is a cage I found for myself, but I think loneliness is a quiet ark."

"This ark has taken me to many places, elementary school, middle school..."

"Until it took me away from the city where I grew up and came to..., yes, to Shanghai."

"In college, someone told me to get off this boat. But I can't find such a reason."

"In that boat, I have everything I need. Hey? Do I really have everything?"

"Do I really want nothing else?"

"If so, why is there a touch of red in my memory that makes me so excited? I want to dig out all my internal organs and put that thing in?"

"It seems that I should get up and look for it."

"Then, back to the first question. Am I asleep or awake?"

"The simplest answer to this question is actually in front of me. I just need to... open my eyes."

He opened his eyes and found himself standing on the roof of the school library. He vaguely felt that this was a very important place, but he couldn't remember why he was here. He leaned on the railing and looked at the campus, and found that the school was empty, and there were almost no pedestrians walking on the road.

Is it vacation? Did I fall asleep on the top floor of the library?

Suddenly, he heard shouting from the other side of the building. He went through the roof and looked down from the fence on the other side, and found that there was a fight under the library.

No, it was not a fight between people, but several monsters with long arms, besieging a girl with red hair. The girl held a knife in each hand and fought hard with those monsters.

This is!!

He suddenly felt that something very important was violated. When he saw those monsters for the first time, he did not feel scared, but angry!

He shouted involuntarily: "Let her go, come to me!"

The monsters heard his shouting and looked up. He heard them shouting in hoarse voices: "The last one, that's the last one! We must do it before he remembers!"

As they shouted, they gave up besieging the girl and climbed up along the wall of the library.

"Run! Li Jia, run!" The red-haired girl shouted loudly.

He felt that she was calling him. The monsters had long arms and could easily climb up on the windowsill. In the blink of an eye, the fastest few had climbed to the third floor.

The library was only more than ten floors high, and he estimated that the monsters would climb up in half a minute at most.

"Run, Li Jia! You can't beat these guys!"

He left the fence, opened the door to the top floor, and ran down the stairs.

"Li Jia, Li Jia! By the way, I have remembered my name, my name is Li Jia."

Li Jia thought while running, who is that girl? Why did she call my name like she had called it a thousand times?

He started thinking about this question from the top floor, but he didn't find the answer when he ran to the second floor. But at this time, the answer came to him by itself.

The red-haired girl ran up the stairs. She looked very embarrassed, covered with scars and blood stains, giving people the feeling that she would fall down at any time. But when she saw Li Jia, she stumbled and rushed over.

The two knives fell to the ground, and she held his arms with both hands, only in this way would she not fall down because of exhaustion. The two people looked at each other at a distance of half a meter, and Li Jia could clearly see every scar on her face. These scars were staggered all over her forehead, nose, cheeks and even lips. The bloody and rolling appearance was beyond description. But Li Jia felt strangely that she was very thrilling and had a fatal attraction to him.
