Unlimited Cycles of Death: 41. Despair Paradise (8)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Infinite Retracing Death!
The trace broke off at the door of the haunted house.
Zhou Yue looked down and searched. The roads in the amusement park were paved with stone brick floors. Since the Desperate Park has been abandoned at the moment and no one has been repaired and maintained, a lot of weeds have grown in the cracks of the stone bricks on the ground, near the water source. All over the moss. These stubborn grasses can emerge from almost any gap, and they greatly hinder Zhou Yue's grasp of the trace.
But Zhou Yue has "hunter's intuition."
Yes, "Hunter's Intuition" is a skill.
A skill dedicated to ghosts.
In the fringe world, players can learn two sets of skills, one is exclusive to humans, and the other is exclusive to killers. They can be learned separately without interfering with each other.
At the beginning of the game, players can bring a set of human skills and a set of killer skills into the game, one set of three skills, that is, players can bring six different skills into this new game.
However, after entering the new game, if the player does not draw the death card, the killer skill set by the player will become "unavailable", and vice versa.
Ghost skills are relatively rare...In other words, when the system gives players awakening skills, most of them give priority to players awakening human skills. And the choice of skills is not controlled by the player. It is completely random by the system. There is nothing to say: "I want a "ghost" skill", and the system will really wake you up with a ghost skill.
After all, the blessing of the Death Card has greatly strengthened the players who have become "ghosts". If there are a few more skills, then humans don't have to live, just wait in line to be slaughtered.
Therefore, players who can awaken ghost skills are very rare, but Zhou Yue happens to be the lucky one.
Zhou Yue now has only one ghost skill, this "hunter intuition", a skill that helps him find the prey as soon as possible. After activation, he has traces left by the prey on the ground, on the wall, and on various objects. Perceptiveness. This skill is not very good, because Zhou Yue was born as a special soldier in the real world and has been specially trained in investigative ability, and this skill is nothing more than an icing on the cake for his investigative ability.
But in some cases, hunter intuition is still very useful, such as facing those extremely sophisticated and experienced old players.
Zhou Yue remembers that when he was a ghost, he met some human beings who were very, very good at hiding. They had no noise, were good at disguising themselves, had some good skills, and could use various main cards to hide themselves. At the initial stage when the identity of the ghost has not been ascertained, Zhou Yue can still get in close contact with these people, but once Zhou Yue’s identity is revealed, they will run away and hide. At that time, as long as Zhou Yue does not leave himself The hunter's instincts can hardly find them.
Later, Zhou Yue did not succeed in killing these cunning humans who were good at hiding. In the worst round, Zhou Yue almost didn't even get the two guaranteed heads. He even thought he was going to die. Fortunately, in the final stage, two humans made a mistake and were caught up by Zhou Yue, and Zhou Yue killed them mercilessly.
Interestingly, Zhou Yue rarely encounters such good old players. In the game he is starting now, most of the players he encounters are new players who have just joined the game or have only experienced one or two games. .
Zhou Yue doesn’t know much about the system of recruiting newcomers in the fringe world. He can roughly guess that in this game, about 20 to 30 newcomers will be forced to join the game every month, and then they will Some people were unlucky and tragically killed by the killer at the beginning of the game, and some people would be eliminated after two to four innings. In the end, only a few people were left...not even one.
Zhou Yue didn't know how long he could survive in this world. For a long time, he vaguely recalled that he came into this world after an accident about two years ago. In other words, he had been in this weird game for nearly two years, and the past two years passed so quickly that Zhou Yue didn't even react.
He flees madly on countless maps, and he lives to this day, just because he was unwilling, unwilling to die without seeing Muqin.
But now that he saw it, Zhou Yue became even more dissatisfied.
He wants to live even more. To live well, he wants to hold Muqin's hand, and he wants to take Muqin out of here.
But what can be done to leave this terrifying world?
Zhou Yue hesitated for a while in front of the haunted house. He knew in his heart that this dark haunted house was probably a trap set by Lu Jiayi and Shi Wen for him. Zhou Yue calculated the cards owned by the enemy. , If Lu Jiayi hadn't bought other extra cards, probably only the inverse demon in Shi Wen's hand.
The devil card is a good card, whether it's upright or inverted, it's very good, and at the same time a bit extreme.
The effect of the reversal demon is to turn a human into a puppet driven by itself. In short, it is to "pseudo-deity" a human being and let it obey the killer's orders. This "pseudo-death" human will get the same Buff as the killer, his physical attributes will be enhanced in all aspects, and in a short period of time will have the same speed of self-repair as the killer, and he will go crazy. , Explode your own power to the maximum... To put it bluntly, the devil card is a "reaper card" that can only last ten minutes.
Its effect is similar to that of a battle license plate to some extent, but there are also obvious differences. For example, the gain of a battle license plate is so high that it does not have a devil license, and the battle license plate does not have the self-repair of the devil license, and the sequelae of the battle license plate will not It is as serious as the devil card, at least after the chariot is used up, the player will only become weak and slow in action, but after the demon card is over, the player will directly enter the dying, if there is no rescue, it will really die.
The difference between the upright demon and the reversed demon is not big, but the upright demon is a card used by humans actively, and the upright demon will not be controlled by the killer. Humans can actively dedicate their souls to the demons to make themselves Get ten minutes of "pseudo-death" and use this power to fight the killer.
Regardless of who is the killer, Jiayi and Shi Wen, Zhou Yue thinks that the killer will use the inverse demon to control the other person, turn it into his own puppet, and work with the puppet to attack Zhou Yue. Encircled, but Zhou Yueming knew this was a trap, but he had to act.
The first is that Zhou Yue's head count is not enough, at least he has to find a way to kill another human being except Muqin. Secondly, if Zhou Yue does not step on this trap, then Lu Jiayi and Shi Wen will definitely look back for the bodies of Mu Qin and Rong Yuxi. If they find out that Mu Qin is not dead, Mu Qin will be in trouble. .
Thinking about going, Zhou Yue still decided to meet Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi. Zhou Yue is confident. With his physical fitness and mobility, it is not a problem to fight the two "death gods". No matter how strong Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi are, they will not be as strong as a trained person like Zhou Yue.
So Zhou Yue went in. He stepped briskly into the eye socket of the huge skull, and walked down the stairs of the haunted house, and it was pitch black below.
At the same time, Muqin on the other side also found near the Ferris wheel. Mu Qin quickly discovered Duan Qun's body. Mu Qin squatted down and stretched out his hands, closing Duan Qun's eyes that were not staring at him. He regretted to say to Duan Qun: "You shouldn't have died."
After saying this, Muqin began to explore Duan Qun. He tried to get his Hanged Man from Duan Qun, although he knew that this card might not be of any use.
But something strange happened. Muqin fumbled for a long time, but he didn't find the hanged man on Duan Qun!
Strange, was it taken away?
Mu Qin looked at Duan Qun's filaments and estimated that he was killed by someone. Maybe Zhou Yue was overtaken and then killed. Maybe it was the hand of the "other killer" Lu Jiayi in the team.
Then it’s either Zhou Yue or Lu Jiayi who took the cards from him, but what is the use of the killer with the upright card?
Mu Qin didn't know what to do. He had a foreboding in his heart, so he stood up, ready to follow. Although Mu Qin's investigative ability was slightly inferior to Zhou Yue, but it was also very good. He soon continued to trace the traces on the ground. Walking in the direction of the haunted house, he found that when he walked this way, he actually spared a circle and walked back to the "spawn point" position when he had just awakened in the amusement park.
As Mu Qin slowly got closer and closer to the haunted house, Mu Qin had vaguely seen the huge skull in the haunted house. Strangely, when he passed by the haunted house, the door of the haunted house was still lit, but now The two lights were also extinguished, and the entire skull merged into the darkness.
Then Muchin seemed to see a person standing at the door of the haunted house.
As Mu Qin approached the haunted house, Zhou Yue had already entered the interior of the haunted house. It was really dark underneath. Even though Zhou Yue received various enhancement buffs from the Death Card, Zhou Yue did not Night vision function, in such an environment, he can only rely on his keen sense of hearing and smell.
Afterwards, he heard some small sounds coming from ahead, which felt like they were coming from a long distance, but also as if they were close at hand. It might be the sound of footsteps or breathing. Those rustling sounds seemed to be tempting. He tempted Zhou Yue to go deeper. Knowing that the enemy was ready, Zhou Yue waited to fight him.
Zhou Yue stretched out his hand to explore the uneven wall on his side, and continued to walk forward. The underground haunted house was very shady and the temperature was very low. It felt like a temperature of about ten degrees Celsius. Although Zhou Yue was not afraid of the cold, it was like that. The coolness still reached the bottom of my heart, making Zhou Yue's restless mood quiet a lot.
Just after Zhou Yue walked away for a certain distance, Zhou Yue could indeed feel someone waiting for him in front of him, because the other person’s breathing was too close. It was a bit of rapid breathing, in a dark and quiet environment. It is very obvious.
After hearing the sound, Zhou Yue stopped. He had a foreboding that there would be a battle waiting for him, so Zhou Yue simply closed his eyes where nothing could be seen, and drew his blade from his pocket. , He calmed down the desire and restlessness in his heart for fighting, he wanted to calm himself down and get ready.
Zhou Yue did not have the terrible power of keeping calm under any circumstances like Mu Qin... For a long time, Zhou Yue did not understand why Mu Qin was always so calm.
Whether it’s the various exams that you usually have to deal with in the school, or the on-stage performance in campus activities, or the face of a group of gangsters coming to find fault, even when you encounter a robber with a knife, the more In the critical situation, Mu Qin calmed down. He never expressed his panic to Zhou Yue. He would not seek any comfort from Zhou Yue. He always liked to smile at Zhou Yue.
Zhou Yue will always remember his gentle smile, which made Zhou Yue very obsessed and disgusted.
Zhou Yue began to slowly approach the slightly heavy breathing in front of him step by step, and the enemy also realized Zhou Yue’s approach, Zhou Yue judged from his breathing, this is the breathing of a man, it is estimated to be That guy named Shi Wen.
As Zhou Yue slowly approached, Zhou Yue heard a new voice again. It was the sound of the blade being pulled out of its sheath and slashing through the air. Zhou Yue immediately noticed that the enemy in front of him also had a short knife in his hand.
Shi Wen’s breathing is very heavy and a bit chaotic. It seems that he is extremely suppressed by his pain, even some feeling of shortness of breath. Zhou Yue interpreted his chaotic breathing, and he felt a little clear in his heart. He began to determine that Shi Wen was The puppet of the inverse demon was applied, and the effect of the inverse demon made him very painful.
In this way, the other woman named Lu Jiayi is the other killer.
Although he could have guessed such a result early, Zhou Yue was not surprised. He gently raised his blade. He felt that he was very close to Shi Wen. The underground haunted house was completely dark and his eyesight was completely For the furnishings, Zhou Yue expected that the other party's situation should be the same as his own, and Shi Wen couldn't see everything clearly, and the two could only fight desperately in the darkness.
And Zhou Yue has almost foreseen his victory.
It was a very wrong move for the enemy to turn the underground haunted house into darkness. For Zhou Yue, the darkness is not only a hindrance, but it also fits Zhou Yue’s wishes. Zhou Yue is actually very good at fighting in the dark, from his entry into the edge world. At the beginning of the game, from the first time he was a ghost, he has been accustomed to fighting in the dark.
But Zhou Yue, who was full of confidence, suffered a big loss.
While Zhou Yue was holding his knife and preparing to make two moves with the enemy and then end the opponent, Zhou Yue heard the sound of the opponent's breathing disappear.
There seems to be a faint smell of blood in the air,
This sudden situation made Zhou Yue dumbfounded. He couldn't help putting down the blade in his hand, and then walked slowly to Shi Wen's side in the dark. He found that Shi Wen was sitting on the ground against the wall, and he stretched out his hand. He touched Shi Wen's arm, and then followed the opponent's arm upwards, and soon he felt a lot of warm...blood.
There is a huge wound on Shi Wen’s neck. He seems to be holding a short knife in his hand. It is obvious that the sound Zhou Yue heard just now was that Shi Wen cut himself with the knife. The sound of his throat, and the sound of his increasingly chaotic breathing, was the endurance of cutting his throat forcibly, and he was not controlled by the so-called reversal demon.
This guy actually committed suicide! ?
The realization of this fact made Zhou Yue startled immediately...Yes, he was startled! He even felt that he was getting goose bumps all over his body. He realized that he had made a mistake. He originally expected the enemy to give him back and forth in this underground haunted house. He was confident that he would not lose, but now Shi Wen has already died! But why is he dying? Why did he commit suicide! ?
That woman...Where did the woman named Lu Jiayi go! ?
Zhou Yue stood up immediately, ignoring Shi Wen, he turned and ran out of the haunted house!
……
Mu Qin narrowed his eyes unconsciously and looked at Lu Jiayi, who was close to him.
Under the light of the faint street lamp, this petite and beautiful woman looked very pale, pale as a ghost.
According to Mu Qin’s prediction, Lu Jiayi is really likely to be another ghost in this game. The moment he saw her, Mu Qin should choose to escape, but this place is very wide and there is no How many obstacles, Lu Jiayi with the death buff must be faster than Mu Qin, and he was caught up in running, and... Mu Qin didn't see Zhou Yue, which made Mu Qin a little worried.
So at this time, Mu Qin decided to pretend that he didn't know she was a ghost, and talked to her to delay some time. Zhou Yue might be nearby.
Thinking about this, Mu Qin said to Lu Jiayi with a relaxed and grateful expression: "Great, are you okay?"
"You are not dead?" Lu Jiayi asked directly, her half-dangling eyelids looked at Mu Qin a little bit maliciously, and the depths of her eyes were full of doubt and distrust. Then she looked up and down Mu Qin and found a lot of blood on Mu Qin's clothes, and laughed, "You are not dead!"
Mu Qin explained the truth and falsehood in a half-hearted manner, and said with a surviving expression: "I was stabbed by the killer, but he didn't check if I was dead, so he chased you and ran away. I use myself His medical card saved his life."
"Great, you are not dead!" Lu Jiayi smiled brightly. She took a step closer to Mu Qin and stretched out her hands to Mu Qin, making a gesture to grab Mu Qin's arm.
Mu Qin had a subtle ominous premonition in his heart for some unknown reason. He stepped back without a trace, avoided Lu Jiayi's hand, and kept a distance from her.
Lu Jiayi seems to be too lazy to pretend to be with Mu Qin. She grinned and said: "Since you are not dead, that's right! I'll take you to be a puppet for me!"
Lu Jiayi finished this sentence and immediately rushed towards Mu Qin. Mu Qin was slightly startled by her move. However, even if Mu Qin was frightened, he still focused and calmly acted. In order to avoid behavior, he subconsciously used his new skill "Death Awareness".
Speaking of, this skill that once made Muchin feel useless, after testing it on the training ground in the safe house, Muchin began to gradually understand the effect of this skill, in short ... Death Awareness is a skill that allows Muqin to "micro-manipulate" his body better and more flexibly.
The passiveness of death consciousness makes Muqin extremely concentrated in a state of crisis. Muqin who is extremely concentrated will produce an interesting effect similar to "bullet time", that is, everything around, humans or animals. The movements appear very slow in Muqin's eyes, just like super slow motion under video deceleration.
Of course, the movements of these people or animals are not really slowing down, but Muchin’s spirit...or his nerves are running too fast, because his thinking is too fast, so everything is He was able to capture these images clearly and quickly through his eyes. These images flowed into his brain, and the speed of his brain's information processing was also increased dozens of times. Therefore, in his highly concentrated mental state, everything around him His eyes are incredibly slow, and he can think slowly about how to act.
This highly concentrated skill, coupled with the active effect of increasing physical coordination, allows Muqin to perform micro-manipulations on his body in this state of concentration.
Generally speaking, no matter how concentrated the human spirit is, and how slow the things in front of him are in his eyes, the human body cannot keep up with the thinking. Because the body’s muscle reaction speed is limited, if Muchin can see bullets that are shot at him at high speed through this mental concentration ability, he can see the slow motion of the bullet flying and spinning in mid-air, and he will want to avoid the bullet. , But his body can't keep up.
So this skill to increase physical coordination is for his body to keep up. This allowed him to adjust his body in a short period of time, and made him tilt his head slightly within a few tenths of a second, just to avoid the bullet that was shot towards his forehead.
It’s a magical skill, but it takes a period of training and adaptation. Mu Qin has mastered it pretty well, so at the moment Lu Jiayi leaped towards him, Mu Qin could take a small step back. , Let Lu Jiayi's rush to fail.
Lu Jiayi, who failed, was still a little dazed. She thought she could catch Mu Qin, but at the moment she rushed towards Mu Qin, Mu Qin just stepped back and made him escape.
It was almost as if she had predicted her movements. The moment she bent over and rushed out, Muqin had already begun to back away.
At first, Lu Jiayi didn’t realize that something was wrong, so she speeded up and tried to attack Muqin, but inexplicably, every time she attacked, she would fail, and her hand was always hidden when she was about to touch the opponent. Open, Mu Qin's series of movements are so flexible that it is almost like a slippery loach!
After several pursuits and attacks failed, Lu Jiayi understood that something was wrong, she stared at Mu Qin: "With your reaction ability and avoidance speed, you can't be stabbed by Zhou Yue!"
Mu Qin opened his hand and replied: "Why is it impossible? His movements were indeed too fast. I didn't react, but I escaped the fatal wound at that moment, so I didn't die."
Lu Jiayi didn't catch Mu Qin, and was not discouraged. Instead, she laughed happily: "Very well, I just need someone like you. Only you can fight against Zhou Yue! Shi Wen, an idiot, is useless. Originally wanted to use him as a puppet, but then I thought about it, even if his physique had the blessing of the devil, he couldn’t do two tricks under Zhou Yue’s hands. It was too wasteful. It’s better to let him use the Hanged Man to resurrect one. A better person."
Mu Qin vaguely knows where the disappeared upside down man in Duan Qun has gone, but he still doesn't understand what the woman meant: "What do you want to do?"
Lu Jiayi said: "You are indeed very flexible. I guess it is the effect of some of your skills? But no matter what kind of skills, you can't use them all the time. You can hide for a while, but you hide Not forever!"
Then Lu Jiayi started to speed up frantically, and her death card was used to its limit. Her petite size also gave her a huge advantage in speed. Her speed at that moment was even close to Muqin's mental concentration. Mu Qin found that he underestimated this woman a bit!
