Mu Qin did not ask such stupid questions as "Why are you killing me". He thought for a while and seemed to think of something, so he squinted at Zhou Yue and said: "Then what should I do to make Don't you kill me?"
Zhou Yue didn't answer, he smiled, brought his face closer, and gently rubbed his lips against Mu Qin's lips. The ambiguous movements filled the air with a fascination. Then Zhou Yue held Mu Qin's waist in one hand, lowered his head and took a bite on Mu Qin's neck.
When Zhou Yue bit Mu Qin's neck, his mouth was a bit heavy. Mu Qin himself couldn't see it, but he felt that he must have left Zhou Yue's tooth mark on his neck. This conjecture made Mu Qin a little bit ashamed.
Zhou Yue whispered softly in Muqin's ear: "The mechanics of this game require that the killer must kill all other players. Because. If I don't kill, the one who died is me."
Mu Qin understood as soon as he heard it: "It means that if you don't act, will you be obliterated by something else?"
"I will be directly eliminated by the game system." Zhou Yue hugged Mu Qin with joy, and was not ready to let go. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, but I don't know why, this reunion did not seem strange at all. On the contrary, he became more and more intimate. When held by Zhou Yue in this way, Mu Qin could always recall the youthful past that they had together.
The days when they went to school, played ball, traveled together in high school, and did shameful things in the hotel.
Zhou Yue was quite patient, and began to briefly introduce Mu Qin about the detailed settings and content of this killing game.
Zhou Yue said: "The game we are in is called Frontier World. It is said to be a crevice world between death and dreams. It is designed to accommodate the undead of the dead in this world and throw them into the border world after resurrection. After finishing a map, the escaped player will be sent to a safe house. Inside the safe house is a virtual computer with a surreal sci-fi style. The computer’s opening remark is: “Welcome to the border world”."
"How did the frontier world appear? Who created it? We don’t know about these...Of course, even if we know it, it’s useless. This magical power that can bring people back to life, this terrible world The truth is not something we foolish mortals can easily set foot in, nor do we have the power to change the world. We have only one purpose in this world, which is to live by unscrupulous means."
"Live, and then?" Muqin asked, "If we live, can we return to the real world that belonged to us?"
Mu Qin's question caused Zhou Yue to ponder for a while, and replied: "It is said that it is possible."
"...It's said?" This vague word caught Muqin's attention.
"Yes, it is said." Zhou Yue looked at Mu Qin seriously, "I have never seen anyone who can really escape. Most people will perform well in the subsequent maps even after passing the novice level. Luckily survived, but after five or six maps in the reincarnation, there is still no hope of escape, and psychologically it has begun to be on the verge of collapse. Once the mind collapses, death will be inevitable."
"In various places in the safe house, such as walls, floors, tables and chairs, etc., you can see the marks left by other players."
"It is said that there is only one safe house in the border world. All players will come to the same safe house after finishing the map. If you write on the wall, that word can be interpreted by other players. Although it will be quickly eliminated by the self-repair function of the safe house, this is almost the only way that players and players can communicate with each other in this game."
"From the marks left by these players, I learned that this game can escape and return to the real world, but this is just word of mouth from others. Who escaped? There is no real conclusion on how to escape."
Mu Qin can understand some other deep meanings from Zhou Yue's words, and this meaning makes Mu Qin inexplicably creepy. Mu Qin said, "What about you? Since you know so clearly, then you are here. How long have you been in the game?"
"I don't remember." Zhou Yue still looked at Mu Qin with a deep gaze, "I have been here for a long time."
Mu Qin couldn’t imagine Zhou Yue’s feeling when he said this. He reached out his hand to touch Zhou Yue’s face, and his tone revealed a somewhat imperceptible panic: "I don’t understand, Zhou Yue... does this mean? Are you in a very bad situation?"
"At least after I met you, it won't be bad anymore." At this time, Zhou Yue still had the heart to talk sweetly to Mu Qin, and he held Mu Qin's waist and rubbed him against Mu Qin. After a while, Zhou Yue’s tone suddenly became heavy, “I’ve been alive until now, in fact, what I have always thought of is that I can go out to meet you. When I was still in the real world, I was hit by a stray bullet while confronting terrorists. I lost consciousness on the way to the hospital. Before I died, I thought that I didn’t have time to find you. Why didn’t I go to you earlier? Just think about it..."
Zhou Yue started to tremble as he spoke. He hugged Mu Qin tighter, and finally revealed a trace of pain and sorrow: "Mu Qin, if only time can go back, it would be great. Go back to our high school. One year, I must keep you before you leave. Even if I give up everything, I will hold you tightly by my side and will not let you go anywhere."
"Zhou Yue." Mu Qin called out Zhou Yue's name and hugged his back with his backhand. He felt Zhou Yue's body trembling, and he couldn't help feeling sore, but he couldn't say a word.
The two people hugged each other for a long time before Zhou Yue came to his senses and smiled and said: "I miss you so much, Mu Qin...really miss you."
"I'm sorry." Muqin's nose became sore when he heard this.
"I said this, not to make you feel guilty." Zhou Yue gently shook his head, "So don't say sorry to me, you are not wrong, I am too useless."
Mu Qin said sadly: "But you eventually became like this because of my departure."
"Many people will leave, and many people are reuniting, and I am just trying to reunite with you. I am so stupid, stupid to die easily." Zhou Yue took Mu Qin's hand, "I have been looking forward to it. Meeting with you, although I can see it today, it makes me very happy, but I still hope to see you in the real world."
"I'm sorry, Zhou Yue." Mu Qin finally couldn't help it. He stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, his voice was choked, "I left without saying goodbye, I'm really sorry."
Zhou Yue reluctantly touched Mu Qin's head: "Don't be sorry for what you said."
After a while, Zhou Yue said: "I'll continue to tell you about the things in this game, and finally see the above, I can't bear to let you cry all the time."
Mu Qin wiped his eyes and said, "I didn't cry."
"Your eyes are red." Zhou Yue seemed very happy to see Mu Qin crying, so he leaned over to kiss Mu Qin's eyes, "I like you, Mu Qin, so don't cry."
"The role of the killer in the game is not fixed, and at the beginning of each game, each player will be randomly assigned a tarot card." Zhou Yue continued to explain some in-game settings to Muqin "You should have it. At the beginning of the game, you will find a tarot card in your pocket."
Mu Qin reached out and took out his Fool's Tarot card from his pocket after hearing the words: "Is it this?"
Zhou Yue glanced at Muqin's card, nodded and said: "This tarot card is actually a prop card, I think you should guess it."
"I do think it is an item card, but I haven't figured out how to use it." Mu Qin took the Fool's card and pondered it. It seemed that Mu Qin didn't feel anything unusual about this card.
Zhou Yue said: "The Fool’s card is the starting card, which means starting from scratch. It is also an exploration card. It will lead you in the right direction. It’s so complicated. In fact, this card is to help you find The exits and props are used in the same way as a compass. You hold it and turn around in place. If the pattern on the card surface lights up when you aim at a random direction, it means there are hidden exits and props in that direction."
When Zhou Yue said this, Mu Qin instantly understood, and he really took his Fool's card and turned it around. When it was pointed in a certain direction, Mu Qin found that the pattern on the Fool's card was slightly shiny. He stopped turning his head and raised his head to look in this direction... It seemed to be the direction of the church.
"The Fool’s card is the easiest card for novices, because most newcomers can’t figure out the danger they are in. It’s best to use such a card to guide them in the right direction. But after passing the novice level , This card is very difficult to get."
Zhou Yue continued: "Six players are fixed in each game. Among these six players, one of them will get the ‘Death Card’ randomly."
"Reaper card?" Muqin felt that he vaguely grasped the point.
Zhou Yue glanced at Mu Qin meaningfully, and said with a smile: "There is a card representing the'Reaper' in the Tarot Major Arcana. The person who gets this card will become a killer. This card It has the effect of disguising itself, if I show it to you..."
Speaking of Zhou Yue, he actually took out a tarot card and showed Mu Qin a glance. Then Mu Qin was surprised to find that Zhou Yue had taken out the same Fool's card.
"This card will automatically be disguised as the face of other tarot cards. This is to hide my identity as a killer. Its disguise is indistinguishable from the naked eye, but it can only be disguised and cannot be used. It has the same effect as other tarot cards." Zhou Yue said, "The death card has only one effect. It makes me a **** of death...that is, it makes me immortal."
Mu Qin was a little shocked: "Isn't it a resurrection?"
"It's immortality." Zhou Yue emphasized the difference, and at the same time, he played the tarot cards in his hand, letting the light paper fly up and down with his fingers, "It will give me terrible self-repair ability, right I am immune to pain and anesthesia. Any injury can be recovered with my will. At the same time, my body functions are greatly improved, so that I can reach the realm of immortality."
After that, Zhou Yue shook his head: "But the tarot cards in every game are disposable items. If I don't draw the death card in the next game, there will be no such power."
Mu Qin touched his chin and thought: "That said, at least you are invincible in this game."
"Yes, the killers in the game are invincible. You can cause temporary damage to him, but he will quickly recover in a short time to continue chasing you." Zhou Yue said with a wry smile: "But it's not without restraint The method of killer, for example, there is a card called'trial' in the tarot card. This is a card specially used for killer. If used for killer, it will make the killer lose the ability to act for a long time."
"This is in trouble." Cheng Guoxu's words made Mu Qin frowned embarrassed.
And Qiu Zijia said: "Don't worry about her, since she is left behind, it means that she is looking for death on her own."
"What I want to know is whether she left by herself or was taken away. If the former is okay, we can leave it alone. But if it is the latter..." Muqin sighed, "It is very Trouble."
Qiu Zijia said: "Do you think that woman will go away by herself?"
"I don't know." Muqin shook his head.
As soon as Muqin's voice fell, everyone suddenly heard a sharp scream from the stairwell at the end of the corridor.
This scream was obviously a female voice. Mu Qin and the others instantly recognized that it was Han Li's voice. They looked at each other. Qiu Zijia was still a bit hesitant, but Mu Qin had already walked towards the source of the sound.
"Wait a minute!" Qiu Zijia reached out to stop Mu Qin from letting him go, and said at the same time, "Don't go there, what if it's a trap?"
Mu Qin turned to look at Qiu Zijia: "So you don't want to save her, right?"
Qiu Zijia was a little embarrassed, so she didn't reply. He really didn't want to save Han Li. To put it bluntly, Qiu Zijia was not a just and awe-inspiring person. In the face of possible and unknown dangers, he only wanted to protect himself.
Mu Qin didn't speak either. He stared at Qiu Zijia with dark and deep eyes. He was so calm that Qiu Zijia couldn't help feeling horrified.
Qiu Zijia found that Mu Qin seemed to be too calm. Since the first time they met, Mu Qin's face has not changed much. Whether it is a smile, anger, or surprised expression, he is faint, and his tone is also cold.
Muqin said: "This is the second floor. This apartment has five floors. Only the left end of the corridor has a staircase for up and down. Unless we jump from the window in the corridor, it doesn't matter if we want to go up or down. You have to go through that stairwell."
"And Han Li's voice just came from the stairwell. No matter what, if you don't want to be blocked here, you must pass." Mu Qin said and looked towards the end of the corridor, on the corridor over there. There seems to be something wrong with the lamp, which is flickering and dimming.
Han Li made no other sound after screaming, and the apartment building of the orphanage fell into deathly silence.
Mu Qin took the lead. He broke off a steel pipe as a weapon from the heating pipe on the side of the corridor by the window. The steel pipe was so corroded that it was easy to break off.
Cheng Guoxu and Qiu Zijia followed him, they walked lightly and quickly towards the stairwell, and then they found that the lights at the corner of the stairwell had been turned off by somebody. It was obvious that they had all turned off when they came up. The light is turned on.
"Han Li!?" Mu Qin shouted at the pitch-black stairwell. His voice echoed in the narrow aisle, but he could not hear any response.
If only there was a flashlight.
Mu Qin thought so, but had to hold the rusty steel pipe in his hand, bent his back against the wall, and started walking downstairs.
Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu stood at the top of the stairs and hesitated for a while, but they still leaned forward to heel.
Mu Qin walked down a flight of stairs against the wall, and touched the light switch at the corner of the stairwell. At this time, Mu Qin smelled a strange fishy smell in the air. He was familiar with the smell, so he felt With some preparation, I pressed the switch to illuminate this small area.
"My god!" Qiu Zijia immediately cried out in horror when the lights turned on. He jumped three feet high, and he couldn't help but stick to Mu Qin's back.
In front of them, a person who didn’t know whether he was alive or dead was lying on the steps at the corner of the stairs. The person was covered in blood. The blood was splashed on the wall. There was a huge wound on his back, which was obviously What sharp weapon did the person use to scratch.
The man seemed to be struggling for a long time before he died, and the **** handprints remained on the wall beside him.
"He... is he dead?" Qiu Zijia has lived for 28 years and basically hasn't seen blood. The conditions in his family are good, and his parents are very spoiled. He has not been allowed to do heavy work, and there are no chickens. Killed one, let alone suddenly saw such a **** dead person.
At this moment, Qiu Zijia was trembling with fear, hiding behind Mu Qin and shaking, but Cheng Guoxu next to him was much calmer than him, although Cheng Guoxu's face was a little pale.
Mu Qin stabilized his mind for a while, walked over to squat down, and stretched out his hand to feel the pulse on the opponent's neck. He started to feel a little warm. It may be that there was residual temperature shortly after he died, but he couldn't feel the pulse anymore.
Mu Qin said solemnly: "It seems to be dead."
Qiu Zijia shivered: "This guy is not Han Li, he looks like he is a man."
"It's not Xu Fu, he doesn't have a similar body shape. It should be the one among the six people mentioned by Xu Fu that has not been found." Mu Qin stretched out his hand and grabbed the corpse's arm, trying to turn the person over. face.
"Don't, he is full of blood!" Qiu Zijia seemed afraid, and wanted to stop Mu Qin, but Mu Qin had already turned the person over. But turning it over was useless, because after turning it over, everyone found that the corpse’s face was also full of blood, and it looked like it had been scratched with a very large mouth of blood, from the left eye to the right chin, so the whole face was flesh and blood. Fuzzy.
Qiu Zijia leaned her head to take a look at the corpse's terrible face, and couldn't help covering her eyes with her hand: "Mom, it's so miserable, I can't see what it looks like at all."
Mu Qin did not pay attention to this. He carefully observed the body shape of the dead body. The figure of the deceased was actually very good. It should be a big man of about 1.8 meters. His arms, chest and abdomen were very strong. Mu Qin pulled away. On the sleeves and placket, tight and strong muscles can be seen.
Such a man of very good height and physique shouldn't be killed easily, especially since he didn't make any noise before he died.
Just now, Mu Qin, Qiu Zijia and others were searching on the second floor, and the man died at the corner of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor.
If he is struggling to call for help, Muchin and the others can hear him.
Unless this stairwell is not the first scene of death, someone dragged his body to the corner of the stairs after killing this guy.
However, this behavior is meaningless, time-consuming and laborious, and Muqin can't think of a reason for the murderer to do this.
Thinking Muqin couldn't help grasping the arm of the corpse, and Bala looked at the neckline of his clothes carefully, trying to discover more details from the corpse.
Then, Muqin discovered that the fatal injury to the corpse was probably a bone-in-depth cut in his neck, which may have damaged his carotid artery. Therefore, there were a lot of blood stains on the ground and the walls everywhere.
Mu Qin is not a forensic doctor, and cannot identify the severity of these injuries, but he guessed that this person might have encountered the so-called "killer" or "ghost", and then he was stabbed in the neck by the ghost, and he covered his neck. He wanted to escape, but was hurt by the ghost on his face and back.
Because of a stabbing on the neck, the vocal cords may have been damaged, so there was no voice calling for help. This is why Muqin and others did not hear a voice on the second floor.
And...
Mu Qin followed the blood stains under the corpse and looked down the stairs. This person may have come from the outside courtyard. A lot of blood was dripped along the way he came. Following these blood stains, you should be able to find this person's encounter. The first scene of the attack.
Qiu Zijia has calmed down a bit now, not shivering as before. Although his face is still pale, he still mustered up the courage to cover his nose and squat beside Mu Qin.
"The female teacher probably screamed when she saw the corpse." Qiu Zijia muffled and said to Mu Qin, "She might have seen the killer, so she ran away."
Mu Qin declined to comment on Qiu Zijia's opinion. He is still observing the body.
"There are two footprints." Muqin said suddenly.
Qiu Zijia did not respond: "What?"
Mu Qin pointed to the blood stain next to the corpse, where there were obvious footprints left by the foot stepping on the blood stain.
"One is a woman." Muqin pointed to the footprint that looks relatively small, and then pointed to the obviously larger footprint next to him, "This should be a killer."
"The two footprints were very close, and the woman's footprint disappeared within a few steps. I am afraid it was caught by the killer and carried away." Muqin used simple traces to infer what might have happened in the scene.
And Qiu Zijia looked at Mu Qin in shock: "Brother, you are amazing. Are you a soldier or a detective?"
Mu Qin sighed and said, "This is the basic investigative ability."
After speaking, Mu Qin stood up from the corpse, he was still holding the corpse's arm, and now he subconsciously wanted to let go. However, at this moment, I don't know if it was Mu Qin's illusion, Mu Qin felt the arm of the corpse in his hand tremble suddenly.
This made Muqin startled, his eyes widened sharply, and he stared down at the corpse.
But the corpse is still a corpse. This man who looks good in shape has already lay on the ground and turned into a piece of dead flesh that is beginning to rot.
Maybe it is the muscle contraction caused by nerve twitching after death. Mu Qin thought to himself, but still squinted at the corpse for a long time.
Until Qiu Zijia next to him felt something was wrong, he watched nervously the wind and grass around him, the sky had completely darkened, and it started to rain, the air became damp and cold, and he could still vaguely hear raindrops falling on the concrete floor. The sound on the dirt.
This behavior is cruel, but Qiu Zijia's behavior is heartless at first glance, and Mu Qin is not a kind person.
Mu Qin was trained by the instructor to be calm and composure when he was in the army, see the situation clearly before acting. Even if the best companion is abused and killed by the enemy in front of his own eyes, he will wait calmly, weigh his own abilities and think about it. Whether you can save people, you must not lose your judgment on the situation because of impulse.
This teaching is regarded as truth by Mu Qin, and Mu Qin has been carrying out this truth even after leaving the army.
So after a moment of thinking, Mu Qin said: "The risk of saving Han Li is too great. We don't have weapons, and you don't have any fighting ability except me. And...now it is obvious that the killer is Xu Fu. After all, the three of us are here, and we haven’t done any superfluous things. The last person who didn’t show up is now dead, and Han Li has been taken away, so only Xu Fu is left."
Speaking of Mu Qin, he also recalled: "Xu Fu's physique is the best among us. I predict that his height is 1.8/9 meters, and his weight is about 85 kilograms. He may hold a handful of length. The short knife, which is about 30 cm in length, has excellent response and strength."
"Xu Fu was a murderer before, and he has more experience than us in this game. He is definitely not weak in psychological quality and will not be easily confused by words or traps. We have no possibility of defeating him, recklessly save People will just take all of us in."
Mu Qin’s analysis put a lot of pressure on Qiu Zijia. Qiu Zijia took a cold breath and said: "I knew it was the murderer, and he looked fierce at first sight!"
Mu Qin didn't speak, he still frowned, always feeling something was wrong.
If the killer is really Xu Fu, why did the other party deliberately separate from them in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to stay with them all the time? Pretend to accompany them to find the key to the orphanage, and then kill them one by one when they are exhausted, and ensure that the key to the exit can be in their hands, so that the probability of all fugitives succeeding in escape will be reduced lowest.
Mu Qin couldn't think of it, so he decided to temporarily abandon these complicated thinking and adopt an adaptable mode of action. He led Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu towards the chapel opposite the apartment building.
Now the rain is getting heavier, and the blood stains left by the deceased in the courtyard were quickly washed away by the rain. This storm came at a bit out of time.
Walking across the courtyard to the steps of the chapel, Mu Qin’s clothes were completely soaked by rain. The temperature in this orphanage was very low. Mu Qin felt that the outdoor temperature was only about ten degrees Celsius. The group only wore thin gray shirts and trousers. Not only could they not keep warm, they also had a lower body temperature because of getting wet.
