lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Infinite Retracing Death!

This is an anti-theft seal, it will be replaced after one hour. As the only child of Zhou’s parents, Zhou’s family members have placed heavy expectations on Zhou Yue. From childhood to adulthood, he has to undergo strict elite education and needs to learn a lot of things related to business and finance, corporate management, etc., because he will sooner or later Taking over the enterprise of his father's generation, his life was arranged from the moment he was born, and the road was paved, and he only needs to move forward impartially on this road and keep moving forward.

Piano is only Zhou Yue's hobby that his fairly enlightened parents allow him to learn. Even if Zhou Yue's talent in music is high, even if this is Zhou Yue's own dream, in the end, he still can't pursue what he loves. His music cannot be a musician on his stage.

Mu Qin asked Zhou Yue about his future plans. He thought that Zhou Yue would resist the life arranged at home, but Zhou Yue shook his head and said, "That's it."

"Don't you feel a pity?" Muqin looked at his beautiful hands disappointedly. "You should stand on the stage, sit by the piano, be illuminated by the spotlight, and win everyone's applause. This is not you. Your dream?"

Zhou Yue said: "If it is so easy to achieve, it is not a dream. It is also very good for me to take over the enterprise of my father's generation, and I can make a lot of money. I can also take you around the world!"

Zhou Yue said that he was very happy, but Mu Qin vaguely saw the gloomy future between himself and Zhou Yue.

He and Zhou Yue secretly dated for three years, and he had a detailed understanding of Zhou Yue’s family background. Zhou Yue’s parents were the kind of sleek, but in fact, very old-fashioned people. This can be seen from the fact that everything was arranged for him at birth.

There are some strange rules in their family. They do not allow Zhou Yue to communicate with ordinary classmates in the school, saying that Zhou Yue's friends must be heirs of a large family with status and status.

They don't allow Zhou Yue's grades to be lower than the top ten in the world, otherwise they will put pressure on him and find various tutoring classes until his grades improve.

They didn't allow Zhou Yue to fall in love yet, but they allowed him to have more contact with some socialites.

Mu Qin can fully see that Zhou’s parents are actually laying the foundation stone for Zhou Yue’s future, allowing him to get in touch with some people and things in the society since high school, forming a wide circle of interpersonal relationships, and waiting. In college, Zhou Yue can work in his own company for an internship. The grades and extensive contacts he established in high school will enable him to quickly gain a foothold in the company. As soon as he graduates, he can officially take over the company.

So Mu Qin can guess that the shrewd Zhou family’s parents would never allow Zhou Yue to go into inexplicable evil ways. Being with the same **** is even more laughable and generous. It will only destroy Zhou Yue’s reputation and make others. Prejudice against him has become a stain on his life path.

Zhou Yue’s future must be bright. He will sit on a world-famous large company and earn money that Mu Qin can’t make in this lifetime. He will enter the marriage palace with a noble and beautiful wealthy daughter. One or two children.

This is pretty good, it's the life that many people dream of but can't ask for.

It's just that Mu Qin, who was young and sensitive at the time, would feel unwilling to feel sad whenever he anticipated that Zhou Yue would not have his own existence in his beautiful life in the future.

He thought about fighting for it. Even if the status of the two is huge and the difference is huge, Mu Qin feels that his ability is not bad. No matter what the future, as long as Mu Qin is willing to work hard, he may be able to go to the same level as Zhou Yue. Position, standing at the same height, he will always get everything he wants.

But Muchin was scared.

He was poor and white at the time. The old uncle squandered all the money in the family. Even the house was secretly resold behind Muqin's back. Muqin had nothing, but he was still facing the high tuition fees of the university and couldn't pay him. You can't go to the same university as Zhou Yue, but if Zhou Yue is asked to help, Mu Qin is very worried that if Zhou Yue pays double the tuition, his family's life will be suspicious.

So at that stage, Muqin was always scared, and fragile, he couldn't help thinking...what if I fail in the end?

If he could not be with Zhou Yue, if they were separated, if all his efforts were lost in the end, would he have to watch Zhou Yue and himself drift away and forget about each other?

Mu Qin has always been alone, with no father or mother, no one to take care of, no relatives or friends. The young and immature Mu Qin puts all his feelings on Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue’s existence is Mu Chin's motivation to work hard to live.

If you can't get it, it's better not to have it in the first place.

So Muchin left.

Despite such a decision, now thinking about it, Muqin feels that the original decision was both sloppy and erroneous and quite timid. It was a stupid decision. Mu Qin also regretted this for many years. He shouldn't leave without saying goodbye, at least he should say to Zhou Yue.

But he just left the world where Zhou Yue existed.

Mu Qin can almost imagine how sad Zhou Yue should be. Quite different from the perfect maturity disguised on the surface, Zhou Yue is actually as fragile as Mu Qin. During the time he was with Mu Qin, Zhou Yue liked to act like a baby to Mu Qin the most.

From childhood to age, Zhou Yue basically had no room for acting like a baby. The strict tutoring and arduous schoolwork of his parents forced Zhou Yue to mature prematurely. He once told Mu Qin himself that he had seen other people’s children and their parents when he was young. Rolling coquettishly, sticky together, I am very envious. However, whenever he wanted to behave like a baby or be close to his parents, his parents' indifferent and tough attitude always made him unable to help crying secretly in his room.

So after having Mu Qin, Zhou Yue was very clingy. As long as he had the opportunity, Zhou Yue would rush over to hug Mu Qin and bury his face in Mu Qin's neck. He will find every opportunity to get close to Mu Qin, hold Mu Qin's waist, kiss Mu Qin's cheeks, lips and eyes. Once Mu Qin is bothered by him and waved him away, Zhou Yue will swing An aggrieved expression stared at Mu Qin, until Mu Qin felt soft and beckoned him to come back.

Zhou Yue’s sticky attitude was somewhat restrained at the beginning, but it became more and more intense as time passed. By the last year of high school, as long as he didn’t see Mu Qin for a moment, Zhou Yue would be very responsive to Mu Qin. Qin’s cell phone was bombarded indiscriminately, filling Mu Qin’s cell phone memory with various calls and messages.

Mu Qin is a little bit reluctant to delete every text message sent by Zhou Yue.

The infinitely gentle and beautiful Zhou Yue in his memory, the Zhou Yue who kept Mu Qin from forgetting but still dare not look for him.

Now he appeared in front of Muqin, **** and dilapidated.

He should be a nobleman living a luxurious life, enjoying the process of being surrounded by people. His road is bright and wide, so he should not appear here. This orphanage full of killing and darkness should not be here. This is where Zhou Yue should come.

"Why are you here?" That's why Mu Qin felt completely incomprehensible, "You shouldn't be here."

Zhou Yue, who had been silent for a long time, finally broke the silence. He spoke, his voice was very low and dumb, probably because he was stabbed in the neck, his voice was not very nice, but Mu Qin was still OK He heard a familiar voice... After so long after a long absence, he finally heard Zhou Yue speaking to him again.

Zhou Yue said: "I am dead, so I am here."

"Impossible!" Mu Qin couldn't believe it, he stared at the man in front of him, "Why are you dead? How could you die!"

"Death will come at any time, today, tomorrow, or even now." Zhou Yue said hoarsely, saying that he put the hand on Muqin's belly back, and seemed a little reluctant at the end, so he half kneeled. In front of Muqin, he placed his hand on Muqin's thigh and raised his head to look at Muqin's eyes. He moved like a knight who swore to the princess in front of the temple.

Mu Qin looked at him, and then was stunned. Suddenly there was some unspeakable sadness in his heart. Mu Qin realized that if Zhou Yue really died, then think about it carefully, the goodbye ten years ago... it was actually a goodbye. .

If they don’t meet again in this game.

Mu Qin felt a faint and dull pain in his chest and heart. The pain was subtle and long. The pain made Mu Qin breathless. He couldn't help but asked Zhou Yue: "How did you die?"

Zhou Yue did not answer immediately. Instead, after a long silence, he raised his head and smiled at Mu Qin, but the bandage on his face made his smile not obvious at all. He said to Mu Qin, "Before... When you disappeared, I was very anxious, I looked for you everywhere."

When Mu Qin heard this, he opened his mouth and stopped talking. He wanted to apologize to Zhou Yue. His leaving without saying goodbye back then must have made Zhou Yue very sad.

However, Zhou Yue was as good at grasping Mu Qin's mind as before. Zhou Yue gently shook his head to him: "I know you want to apologize, but you don't need it."

"On the contrary, I should be the one who apologized... In fact, I was very aware of the tremendous pressure you were under. Your family situation is not good, the economy is so urgent, and the gap between you and me makes you feel that you don’t see any hope. , I know you may want to give up, and your departure is also in my expectation."

Zhou Yue continued: "But I was too confident at the time, thinking I could find you back."

"To be honest, I was very happy when I heard that you applied for enlistment to the provincial army, because I always wanted to find a chance to get rid of the control of my parents. Enlisting is an excellent reason. So I also asked my parents I suggested that I wanted to join the army for two years. My parents did not agree at first, but I said that for my future, training in the army would make me stronger. My parents thought it made sense, so they agreed."

Hearing what Zhou Yue said, Mu Qin looked at Zhou Yue with wide eyes in surprise: "But I haven't seen you in the army."

"Of course I haven’t seen it. Originally, I really wanted to join you in the same company. I also asked a higher-level officer to help me bridge the line. But something went wrong in the middle. It seemed that my father was intervening, so I was Sent to a more advanced troop training base."

"I stayed there for two years, you know...in a place like a troop, you would be a member of the country. Unless you retire, don’t want to come out easily. I was trapped there in a hurry, every day. I was eager to find you, but there are many trainings waiting for me every day. At that time, the instructor told me that I can only approve the vacation after completing the training, so I trained very hard..."

"So your hands became like this?" Mu Qin regretted, and looked at Zhou Yue's hands distressedly. They were no longer the hands that could play the piano gracefully in memory.

"It's okay." Zhou Yue saw that Mu Qin was sad for him, and in turn comforted Mu Qin. He couldn't help but reached out and carefully touched Mu Qin's cheek, "My hands are strong. It’s not that I can’t play the piano anymore."

After that, Zhou Yue looked at Mu Qin obsessively with his only right eye, "Mu Qin, you are still as good-looking as you were before."

Mu Qin took the document bag in Cheng Guoxu's hand and took out the documents from the bag. Then he found that the so-called documents were actually a few thin papers stapled together, plus a stack of quilts. Cut newspaper. Muqin casually put the candlestick he was holding on the tattered table on the stage of the church, and then began to look through the documents.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Qin realized that these yellowed papers recorded the employee files of the orphanage.

In fact, it is a thin resume, with the name, gender, age, date of birth, and ID number of each employee written on it, and a one-inch ID photo is posted on the upper right corner. The following is a messy handwriting record of each employee's career and family members.

All the resumes were stapled together by staples, but Muqin discovered that one of the resumes seemed to be torn off, because the staples were left with scraps of paper that had been torn apart.

The torn marks are new, as if they were just torn off.

Mu Qin who discovered this detail silently raised his head and glanced at Cheng Guoxu. Cheng Guoxu gave the documents to Mu Qin and did not leave. Instead, he stood next to Mu Qin and pretended to read the documents with him. . So Muqin didn't say much, and continued to look down at these documents.

From these resumes, it can be seen that there are more women in the orphanage, and there are only one or two men. Most of them are in their 20s to 30s, and they don’t seem to be very educated. high.

At first, Mu Qin didn't think these resumes had any meaning, until he found Han Li's resume in the resumes.

Han Li’s resume is the last one. The name "Han Li" is clearly written in the column of name. Originally, Mu Qin thought it was the same name, but he saw a one-inch photo of Han Li in the upper right corner. The photo is small and yellowish. The Han Li in the photo is obviously much younger than the Han Li that Mu Qin sees now. She is probably what she looked like in her twenties, but her facial features can still make Mu Qin easily recognize her. come out.

Han Li’s resume is simple and clear, and there is nothing out of the ordinary, but since her resume appears in the employee files of this orphanage, it proves that she has worked in this orphanage. , And think of Han Li’s message that she had been a kindergarten teacher...

Mu Qin thought for a while, and found it a bit weird,

Since Han Li has worked in an orphanage, she seems to have worked for a long time, so she is undoubtedly familiar with the orphanage, but she did not truthfully tell her situation Mu Qin and others, she chose to conceal and kept silent, but why should she conceal it?

Actually, the answer is easy to speculate. Mu Qin first thought of the cause of Han Li's death. Xu Fu previously speculated that Han Li was killed by her students after being drugged.

Han Li is a junior high school teacher who teaches a group of students from the first to the third grade, aged between 12 and 16 years old. A teenage child knows **** someone with drugs, so what is the motive of the kid who kills his teacher by drugging it?

It’s also easy to guess. Most of them have irreversible contradictions with teachers. Generally, children’s psychological endurance is pretty good. It is common for teachers to be scolded by teachers for various reasons such as not doing homework. It is impossible to be brutally murdered after being scolded by the teacher. Maybe it is Han Li's corporal punishment or worse methods that caused the hatred of the students and even made the students murderous.

It can be seen that Han Li's character is not particularly good.

The next guess is even more obvious. Han Li said that she had worked as a kindergarten teacher, and this employee file that exists in the orphanage shows that Han Li's so-called kindergarten teacher job is probably to take care of orphans in this orphanage.

Reminiscent of various negative/face-to-face reports exploded in the Iris Flower Orphanage, the remarks accuse the employees of the orphanage of suspicion of child abuse, and Han Li is very secretive about the fact that she has worked in the orphanage. Han Li may have done such unscrupulous things as child abuse, so she dare not admit that she once worked in this orphanage in front of Mu Qin and others.

But so what?

Mu Qin took Han Li’s resume and thought about it... Now they are all in this closed orphanage, surrounded by high walls, iron gates, etc., trapped here, they can’t go anywhere. , There is a terrible killer chasing them.

In such a critical situation, Han Li's past... is not important to Muqin. He doesn't bother to care about what Han Li has done before. He just wants to know how to leave this place.

Xu Fu said that they were dead, and they were sent into this game by a mysterious power after death, and sent to this map.

Xu Fu's words have made Mu Qin dubious. Although Mu Qin does have the memory of his "death", he remembers a big truck hitting him head-on, and he can even recall the sound of his internal organs cracking.

But this kind of memory is like a dream. He is standing here now intact, with all his limbs still there, and he can hear his heartbeat and breathing. He is clearly alive, a real alive, this Muqin couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.

Mu Qin continued to flip through the documents that Cheng Guoxu gave him, and then saw a stack of newspapers under the staff resume.

This stack of newspapers, like those previously searched by Muqin, also reported various negative/face-to-face news about the Iris Orphanage, but there were several reports of extremely bad crimes, such as:

"An eight-year-old girl was found tossed in the wilderness and was suspected of being abused/humiliated before death."

This headline made Muqin couldn’t help but read this news carefully. It said that the body of an eight-year-old girl was found. She had been dead for several days and had begun to rot. It was a distance from the Iris Orphanage. Found in a suburban forest almost a few hundred meters away. The forensic medical examination said that she was raped/violent and beaten before her death. This girl was an orphan registered in the orphanage. The police speculated that she was assaulted by some employees in the orphanage. After a dozen nonsense, she said " The police are stepping up their investigation" at the end.

Mu Qin flipped the newspaper back again, not only did he not see follow-up reports, but instead saw more news about orphans of about the same age being bullied/humiliated and then abandoned in the wilderness. Counted, Iris Orphans Approximately five children were killed in a row in the hospital. It seems that this was a series of vicious incidents involving the killing of children. However, Muqin turned the stack of newspapers to the end and saw no news of the police solving the case.

Thinking about it, the reason is that Muqin believes that these victims are just orphans, without fathers and mothers, and the social attention is very low, and I am afraid that they will not end in the end.

Seeing this, Mu Qin closed the file in his hand. He raised his head and looked at Cheng Guoxu again, but suddenly found that Cheng Guoxu was also looking at Mu Qin.

Cheng Guoxu’s facial features are not very good, the end of his eyes and the corners of his mouth are always drooping, and it looks like a "very unhappy" feeling, especially when he stares at you. , Those eyes seemed to reveal dark and dirty emotions.

Cheng Guoxu didn't seem to dare to look at Mu Qin for too long. Soon he lowered his head again and resumed his usual taciturn posture. Mu Qin squinted at him for a long time, and finally did not say anything to him. , But tossed the documents in his hand everywhere, and went to look for Qiu Zijia.

At this moment, Qiu Zijia has turned the entire chapel to one side, holding a candle and shook his head at Mu Qin: "There is nothing in this ghost place."

Mu Qin looked back at the second floor of the church. The second floor of this chapel is not closed, but open, with corridor railings, showing a "U" shape facing the stage on the first floor. That is to say, standing on the stage on the first floor, you can directly see the roof of the church when you look up.

Mu Qin glanced at the collapsed staircase to the second floor and said: "There must be something important on the second floor waiting for us to explore, but now we can’t go up, it’s better to find it. Ladder or other tools, it takes too much time to climb up with bare hands."

"I know where there are ladders." Cheng Guoxu said coldly.

When Qiu Zijia heard this, he asked strangely: "How do you know where there is a ladder?"

These words seemed to make Cheng Guoxu a little stunned. After a subtle pause, Cheng Guoxu said: "The church’s roof is very high, and the position of the wall lamp is also very high. If they want to clean the dust on the roof or give the wall lamp If you change the light bulb, you will definitely use a ladder...maybe there will be a utility room nearby."

Qiu Zijia nodded clearly after hearing this: "That's right, although this church is not big, but after all, the sacred place, the staff will definitely clean it daily, and the ladder may be placed where they put the cleaning tools... Let's go and take a look outside."

Mu Qin had no objection. Several people nodded and walked to the gate of the chapel. When they just wanted to open the door to go out, they heard a slight...wet footsteps outside. The sound of the foot stepping on the stone brick stairs, although the sound was not obvious on a stormy and rainy night, it was still noticed by Muqin's nervous people.

At that time, Mu Qin stopped Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu who were beside him, and said in a low voice: "Turn off the light and hide."

After Mu Qin blew out the faintly lit candle in his hand, the other two followed suit. The inside of the church was already very dim, but when the candles were blown out, it became even more dim. Mu Qin and the others followed the darkness, hunched their waists, and quickly hid among the rows of seats in the church, squatted down and climbed under the chairs.

This is a very critical moment, because the door of the church over there was pushed open from the outside as soon as Muqin and the others hid. With the opening of the door, the sound of wind and rain outside the church followed the movement of the door, tumbling into the interior of this small church, the cold and humid breath rushed towards him, Mu Qin shrank under the chair in the dark corner, He held the candlestick that had just been extinguished and was a little hot.

Mu Qin quietly fumbled with his fingers on the ground, and placed the candlestick with his hot hands on the ground gently and slowly, trying not to make any noisy noises, just when he concentrated on doing so. At that time, there was a woman's defensive voice from the door that was opened. The voice was very small and intermittent: "I really don't know... I left this orphanage many years ago... I Have never done that kind of thing!"
