A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 118 Luo Min
Muscles tense, heartbeat rapid.

The faint fragrance floated into his nose, and when it touched her delicate skin, Quinn suddenly thought of a theory -

Humans do not have body odor.

But if you think she smells nice, it means your genes chose her.

"Ha ha"

Quinn was panting, her delicate body pressing against his, urging him to go faster, faster.
Celia's pretty face turned slightly red.

"Did you just say 'if only it could go on like this forever'?"

She looked up at the man whose forehead was covered in sweat from the intense exercise and said cunningly, "Don't deny it, I heard everything, okay?"

Quinn didn't stop.

"Yes."

"Hey, why do you say that?"

“Because it was downhill.”

Quinn was pushing the bike and sweating profusely.

Not only was there someone sitting on the bicycle, but there was also a little loli on his shoulders. He was following the little loli's instructions to find the other three missing students and Amamiya Ningning.

Although his physical fitness has been enhanced by the characteristics of a useless person, it is still within the range of humans. It is not easy to run while pushing a bicycle, and now he has to carry one on his back. Sprinting at full speed in a hurry is no less than running a marathon with a load.

Lin held a long staff in her hand and pointed Quinn in the right direction from time to time.

It's more like a straight branch than a magic wand.

The texture of the bark was as mottled as weathered rock. There were no arcane arrays or runes carved on it, nor were there gems or special cores for storing energy. There was only a silk ribbon tied around the thicker part of the top. It was a beautiful lake blue color, very similar to Lin's hair color.

"Ha, how far is it?"

Lin rode on Quinn's neck and looked at his long hair with a little dissatisfaction.

A bit prickly.

"Front."

Lin closed her eyes, as if she was feeling something.

".350,000 millimeters."

This measurement is very academic. The arcane array needs to carve out enough and precise circuits in an extremely small area, and the unit of the drawing is millimeter.

Quinn calculated it and found that it was more than 300 meters. That means it was the intersection ahead.

I need to thank my fellow countryman for unifying the measurement of the other world, so that he doesn't have to calculate miles, feet, or inches.
Quinn blinked, switching into the Eyes of the Demon King.

But his vision was still clear. He did not see any strings tied to Celia, nor did he see any traces of strings anywhere in front of him.

But in the real world, he could see the "thread" that connected the vice-president to the students.

Could it be that the Eyes of the Demon King at Sequence Nine cannot be effective in the Abyss?
"That."

Lin pointed to the high school ahead. Quinn pushed the shared bike to the door, then held Lin's armpits like a cat and carefully put her down.

This place is about a kilometer away from the CBD area of ​​Guomao, in the heart of the old city. The city government, the city museum, and the city children's palace are all nearby. Jianghai No. 2 Middle School, located in front of us, is a renowned public high school. Many of its students are children of civil servants. While their academic performance may be average, they still receive a significant number of admissions to prestigious universities each year.

The teaching building of No. 2 Middle School is an old building left over from the last century. Looking from the outside, it has almost collapsed. The inside is a complete ruin, with only a newly built multimedia building still standing there.

"School's over. Who are you looking for?" Celia looked at the silent ruins of the school and whispered, "We're not wearing the No. 2 Middle School uniform. The security guards won't let us in, right?"

"Where's the security?"

"In the security room."

Quinn looked at the security room in front of him, where only half of the wall was left, and felt inexplicably terrified.

Lin held her wand and walked inside on her own.

"Little sister, you"

Celia wanted to call out to her, but was stopped by Quinn.

"Wait at the school gate, we'll be out soon."

After quickly catching up with Lin, Quinn asked solemnly, "What happened to her?"

After knowing that everything he saw was not an illusion, a creepy thought lingered in Quinn's mind and could not be shaken off.

Could she really be Mi Yutong?
"Possession."

"Possession?" Quinn repeated with a frown.

As the little girl walked, she said briefly, "She is playing the role of an Abyss character. Her personality and memories have been assimilated by the Abyss."

"You mean, a spirit possessed Celia?"

Quinn couldn't help but look towards the school gate.

Celia stood there, leaning against the half of the wall that had not yet collapsed, her left leg stretched straight, her right leg slightly bent, her bored expression exactly like that of the girl who had died many years ago.

Lin shook her head.

"The abyss, there is no soul."

"Inside her body are the memories that make up the abyss."

".memory?"

Lin raised her head and looked calmly at the roof of the only remaining multimedia building.

"there."

Quinn looked over when he heard that and immediately found Megan on the rooftop.

Like Celia and Quinn, she changed her clothes and wore the blue uniform of No. 2 Middle School. She had already climbed over the rooftop fence, and the evening breeze blew her hair.

Megan at this moment was completely different from the taciturn girl that Quinn remembered. She looked sad, and her eyes were empty and numb.

Quinn, posing like Sun Wukong, covering his eyes while gazing at the Flowing Sand River, asked in confusion, "What is she doing?"

"do not know."

Lin shook her head. "She's going to do whatever the Abyss character she plays does."

Quinn quickly recalled why the high school girl ran to the roof and climbed over the fence -

1. A cat is about to fall. According to the principle that cat’s life is greater than human life, you must take the risk to save it.

2. This is a Caodong fan, preparing to take a photo to post on WeChat Moments, with the caption "Three, two, one jump, jump into the dye vat——"

3
Quinn's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "No, she's going to jump off the building—"

Before Quinn could finish his words, Megan loosened her grip on the railing and, like a cup teetering on the edge of a table and finally losing its balance, she leaped down, face to face, with her arms spread out, like a bird giving up flight, in free fall.

Five stories high.

Quinn studied finance and was very good at arithmetic. A falling speed of at least 60 kilometers per hour would generate an impact force of hundreds or even thousands of kilograms based on Megan's weight.

It would be difficult for me, with my extraordinary physique, to catch her safely, but it would be okay for an athlete.

But her body had already moved first. Quinn, with his superb eyesight, was able to catch it and adjust his posture before Megan landed, so that she wouldn't be hit. He also caught her with his hands to relieve some of the force.

As for whether his hand would be broken, Quinn didn't have time to think about it, but if he took it like this, Megan should still be able to survive.

In vain, the figure that was rapidly enlarging in front of his eyes became as slow as a turtle and fell to the ground as lightly as a feather.

"Eh?"

He turned around in surprise and found that the little girl had already raised her wand. A circle of crystal clear bubbles wrapped around Megan, and she finally landed safely.

".Arcane can still be used in the Abyss?"

"Sure." Lin added calmly, "I can."

Quinn's eyes couldn't help but become scrutinizing.

It's still okay in the shallow layers of the Forbidden Forest, but once you go deep into the abyss, the rules of the world will be completely disrupted. Except for arcane devices with their own complete power sources and closed structures, it is almost impossible to use arcane magic in the abyss.

Even if it can be used, the effect may be greatly reduced and the casting cost will increase exponentially.

"Wait, if you can use arcane magic, why don't you just teleport over here? And why do you want me to carry you?"

"Mana, not enough."

After explaining, Lin slowly walked over to Quinn and raised her hands.

"Pizza, go."

Quinn laughed angrily. He was riding his buddy like a horse?
After landing, Megan seemed unable to believe that she was still alive.

"I-I. Eh?"

She asked blankly: "What just happened?"

Quinn folded his arms across his chest and stood in front of her.

When Megan saw the long-haired man she didn't recognize, she had a social anxiety attack and subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

"What's your name?" Quinn asked bluntly.

".Luo Min."

Like Celia, although she speaks Tamil, her name is pronounced in Chinese.

The voice was small, but not Lin's emotionless and unwilling to speak voice. Instead, it was full of timidity and shyness, exactly the same as when Megan introduced herself for the first time in class.

罗敏
It was an ordinary name, but Quinn instantly remembered who "Luo Min" was.

Last semester, Mi Yutong came to ask him out that day - that is what just happened, but Quinn refused because he had a class schedule in Northern Europe. That night, when he was playing the piano, he heard the guests talk more than once about a girl who had jumped off the building nearby.
Afterwards, the manager and colleagues also chatted about this matter.

The girl died because she was pregnant, but she found out that her boyfriend outside the school had a mistress.
The incident was so egregious that the media kept it under wraps, leaving only nearby residents to learn about it. The manager, a wealthy second-generation businessman with extensive connections, knew more about the situation and used it as gossip to claim the boyfriend, a junior high school dropout, was in the pool hall when the incident occurred and fled overnight after hearing Luo Min jump from the building.
Quinn and Luo Min didn't know each other.

He didn't know Luo Min's boyfriend and didn't care about it at the time, but he didn't expect it to happen again in this way.

".She and Celia play different roles?"

"Ah."

"Is there a pattern?"

If someone else asked, Lin would not answer at all.

But thinking about him making pizza for himself
"It fits."

".Match?" Quinn began to use the Little Tigers confidential card to decipher Lin's encrypted call.

"Is it that the role you play and the body you possess are a good match?"

Lin nodded.

“Only those who are most similar in character, soul, and experience will play the role.”

Quinn suddenly realized.

He had felt more than once that Celia and Mi Yutong were very similar. However, they were not completely identical. Celia did not have Mi Yutong's temper, and Mi Yutong did not lack confidence like Celia.
Is it to choose the one with the best fit?

But why would the scenery on the third layer of the abyss be like this, and why was it chosen from the memories of the people on Earth?
Quinn fell into deep thought. He had just been wondering if other travelers knew about this, but only the brave had ever been to the fifth layer of the abyss, the "Layer of No Return."
The Forbidden Forest was sealed by Merlin.

What is the relationship between this world and the earth?
"Just now, what happened just now?"

Megan came back to her senses and asked in panic. She thought of herself as just an ordinary person.

Suddenly losing weight in the sky and then slowly floating down is a real supernatural event.

Quinn didn't have time to explain. After considering that Lin was beside him, he asked bluntly, "Why did you commit suicide?"

The tone was fierce.

Megan immediately fell silent again.

"Because of studying? Did your parents beat you? Or your boyfriend?"

When Megan mentioned her boyfriend, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"me"

"What do you mean?" Quinn said fiercely, "Follow me. Your boyfriend asked me to come and talk to you."

"Really, really?!"

Megan just raised her head, but immediately became as lifeless as before.

“We have nothing to talk about.”

"What the hell, why should I care how you talk?" Quinn said impatiently, "Come here, I have something else to do later, I don't have time to waste with you."

After saying that, he left.

Megan hesitated for a moment, and actually followed him in small steps.

Quinn was amused. It was true. She would rather die than cause trouble to others, right? She was an outstanding female high school student of our time.

But before he took two steps, he found that Lin was still waiting there.

Quinn turned his head speechlessly. The little girl still had her hands stretched out, looking at him quietly, like a kitten waiting for its owner to hold it.

"Pizza, go."
