The ten people slowly descended to the ground.

The Man-Snake was just about to say something when Qi Xia pulled Yu Nian’an along and directly pushed open the wooden door to walk out.

“Hey?” The Man-Snake was startled. “Qi Xia, I haven’t said goodbye to you yet.”

Without looking back, Qi Xia continued walking forward. This long corridor was just like the one in his dreams.

Everyone also followed out one after another.

“Hey, liar, why are you in such a hurry?” Qiao Jiajin asked from behind.

But he didn’t acknowledge anyone, only moving forward with Yu Nian’an on his own.

Arriving before the Man-Dragon, the Man-Dragon was just about to speak when Qi Xia interrupted him again.

“No need to explain,” Qi Xia said. “Just give the ‘Dao’ to the people behind me.”

He pushed past the Man-Dragon and walked out the door. Fortunately, someone was already waiting here.

That person wore Chu Tianqiu’s face.

Jin Yuanxun, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time, stood beside him, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Seeing Qi Xia and another unfamiliar woman descend from above, Chu Tianqiu was slightly stunned, but he quickly managed his expression and walked forward to greet them warmly.

“Qi Xia.”

“It’s been a while,” Qi Xia said coldly, reaching out to embrace Yu Nian’an. “Which Chu Tianqiu are you? What’s the situation this time?”

“I am myself,” Chu Tianqiu paused. “I came to find you this time specifically to congratulate you.”

“Congratulate me?” Qi Xia said neither warmly nor coldly. “Why?”

“You’re the ‘strongest person’ I’ve ever seen,” Chu Tianqiu said. “A few days ago, the entire ‘Land of End’ trembled because of you.”

“Is that so?” Qi Xia revealed a cold smile. “So you directed and staged a massacre yourself.”

“That’s right!” Chu Tianqiu also smiled happily. “Qi Xia, you also know that in this godforsaken place, although you and I are cooperating, we can kill each other at any time for any idea of our own. It won’t affect anything.”

“You’re right,” Qi Xia nodded. “Thanks to you, I’ve also found something incredible.”

“Oh?” Chu Tianqiu turned to look at Yu Nian’an. “I heard about your situation from Aunt Tong… so…”

Just as Chu Tianqiu was about to say something, he suddenly felt his train of thought somewhat blocked.

This woman was Qi Xia’s “missing wife”?

He had found his wife…?

Or rather… was this a product of “Life After Life”?

But Qi Xia didn’t have an “Echo” this time, so how did this woman appear?

He took a breath and looked at Qi Xia again, discovering that Qi Xia’s eyes seemed somewhat dazed.

He seemed unwilling to consider this question.

“So he’s really about to go mad?” Chu Tianqiu smiled bitterly. “Fortunately, I found the answer before you went crazy.”

“Since you’ve finished congratulating me… what’s next?” Qi Xia asked. “Are you here to invite us to ‘Heaven’s Mouth’?”

“Of course!” Chu Tianqiu smiled and walked over to grasp Qi Xia’s hand. “You’re my best partner in the ‘Land of End’!”

Qi Xia’s other teammates also slowly descended from the void. Officer Li still held four “Dao” in his hand. Everyone immediately spotted Chu Tianqiu.

“Oh, everyone’s here?” Chu Tianqiu smiled, but immediately noticed there were nine people.

He scanned everyone—most of the people here he had seen before, except that pale-faced young man who was a stranger.

“Oh?” Chu Tianqiu quickly understood the reason and nodded. “You could even escape from that—truly impressive.”

The pale-faced man saw Chu Tianqiu and slowly put away his smile, his eyes carrying a trace of contempt.

“Well? Isn’t this the heartless Tianqiu?” Qiao Jiajin said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Coming to find people to work themselves to death for you again?”

“Not at all, you flatter me too much,” Chu Tianqiu said with smiling eyes. “Speaking of which, I still need to thank you and Li Xiangling. You actually managed to hold ‘Heaven’s Mouth’—truly unexpected…”

This statement struck a nerve with Qiao Jiajin.

After Qi Xia died, he and Li Xiangling had indeed held “Heaven’s Mouth,” but the situation at that time was exceptionally bizarre, making Qiao Jiajin think he had gone mad.

“So have you finished cleaning up your ‘Heaven’s Mouth’?” Qiao Jiajin asked.

“We’re cleaning it now!” Chu Tianqiu answered. “If you don’t mind, come along too. I’ll give you some food, and you can help me clean up a bit.”

This tone of training dogs made everyone uncomfortable.

Qiao Jiajin said nothing, but instead looked toward Qi Xia.

After thinking for a while, Qi Xia revealed a smile. “Sure, I’ll join.”

The two shook hands again.

Lin Qin and Qiao Jiajin didn’t quite understand Qi Xia.

The Chu Tianqiu before them was clearly not a good person. He was terribly insane—what reason was there to still join him?

…

Everyone followed Chu Tianqiu and Jin Yuanxun all the way to “Heaven’s Mouth.” During this time, they explained the situation to Lawyer Zhang and Tiantian.

The two still looked completely incredulous.

Lin Qin also asked the “tenth person” his name. He seemed able to communicate with anyone without any barriers.

This person looked at the dark red sky of the “Land of End,” the smile on his face gradually diminishing, as if accepting some unacceptable truth.

“My name is Chen Junnan,” he said.

“Chen Junnan?” Lin Qin paused, then asked, “Have you seen me before?”

“Yes, this is the third time,” the young man said with a smile.

“Only three times?”

“Yes, only three times.”

Seeing she couldn’t get anything more out of him, Lin Qin could only let him be. This person dying again and again in the interview room had too small a probability of being an “Extreme Path” person.

Qi Xia turned to look at Qiao Jiajin. There was a question he was very concerned about.

“Fists, you held ‘Heaven’s Mouth’?”

“Yeah,” Qiao Jiajin nodded.

This obviously didn’t make much sense.

Even if Qiao Jiajin and Li Xiangling had martial arts skills, how could they possibly defeat a group of fully armed “Echoers”?

“Did you ‘Echo’ at that time?” Qi Xia asked.

“No,” Qiao Jiajin shook his head. “Liar, you’ll know in a bit. If I haven’t gone mad… then the situation is truly too bizarre.”

As they spoke, several people had already arrived at the school entrance.

As soon as they approached, a fresh putrid smell rushed into everyone’s nostrils.

The smell of corpses that had just begun to rot was extremely pungent. This situation would continue for about ten days or so.

At this moment, Li Xiangling was moving corpses in the schoolyard. She immediately spotted the approaching group.

“Qiao Ge!!” Li Xiangling hurriedly waved her hand, nearly dropping the corpse she was holding.

“Kung Fu Girl!” Qiao Jiajin also greeted her. “Wait there, I’ll come help!”

Qi Xia looked out and found the corpse Li Xiangling was moving somewhat familiar.

The next second, he slowly widened his eyes.

All the people behind him also froze at this moment.

Li Xiangling was currently holding a corpse of Qiao Jiajin and slowly moving it. Looking across the entire playground, there were currently seven or eight corpses of Qiao Jiajin neatly arranged together.

Some had been blown up, some had been cut, and others had been pierced through the body with wood—they had all died differently.

Turning to look at the other side, there were all corpses of Li Xiangling.

A full twenty or thirty of them, piled into a small mountain of corpses.

“Phew… Qiao Ge, I just finished moving my own corpses… I’m really exhausted…”

“It’s fine, I’ll move my own,” Qiao Jiajin said with a smile.
