Unlimited Cycles of Death: 56. Library (2)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Infinite Retracing Death!
On the face of the inverse star card, there is a beautiful woman with long silver hair. She is wearing a white gauze and dancing dress. She walks down from the star screen of the night sky to the water of the galaxy.
The stars are shining on the background behind her, a few golden carps surround the woman, and pale chrysanthemums are blooming on the ground.
It is said that carp represents vitality, while chrysanthemum symbolizes hope.
The text on the back of the reversed star card says these few lines:
She gave desert travelers an oasis.
She gave the snow-capped visitors a glow.
She will always give you hope.
Or despair.
ps: The group curse card, the human side will be shrouded in the shadow of despair, so that everyone's movement speed will be reduced. Every time a scene prop is destroyed, the speed of the human side will gradually decrease,
Mu Qin roughly understands the role of the reversed stars, which is to reduce the speed of the entire human side, and it seems... as long as the human side can destroy the items available on the map, the human speed can be lower. This is an extremely useful card for ghosts, which can greatly reduce or prevent humans from escaping the game map.
But at the same time... Muchin feels that the game in the fringe world is fair. Since such a card that is extremely beneficial to ghosts appears in a game, then the human side will also draw correspondingly, which is also very beneficial to humans. Favorable cards, so Muqin can't be happy too early.
Muqin put the reversed star in his hand back into his pocket. He lowered his head and started thinking. Since he entered this new game with the Grim Reaper that he brought in from the outside, and he drew an inverse star at the beginning of the game... Then in this game, there will be another player who will randomly Draw the death card. Therefore, the so-called "dual ghost" game was formed.
Muqin has to face not only human players, but also a "ghost" player like him.
In this game, there will probably be one or two or even more "newcomers". They have a high probability of getting a new hand card Fool, of course, there is also the possibility of getting other cards. In addition to the newcomers, of course there will be one or two "veterans", and there may be people like Muqin who enter the new game with various cards bought from the mall or card dealers.
So everything is unknown.
Mu Qin stopped thinking, he began to look around to make sure he was in the scene.
He is in a library.
And it's a very, very huge library.
This library has four stories high, which is a very wide and huge space. The first floor is a spacious lobby. Muqin visually measured about a few hundred square meters, except for the library entrance gate, front desk, upstairs and downstairs. Except around the elevator, other places are filled with various wooden bookshelves.
The design of those bookshelves is very beautiful. Look carefully at the edges of the bookshelves and there are exquisite carvings. Some bookshelves are even equipped with decorative lights. The colors of the decorative lights are mild, and they are decorated in an ancient Chinese style. The ink color and scholarly feeling.
The bookshelves are neatly arranged side by side, forming intricate passages like a maze, with rows of tables and chairs in the middle for people who borrow books and read. These tables and chairs are also designed in ancient Chinese style. They are the kind of rattan chairs. The staff of the library also intimately put dark brown square pillows on each chair.
On all corners and walls of the hall, there are small wooden shelves specially designed for people to put books at hand, as well as floor lamps with an antique feel. There are even ink stickers on the windows. Some signs and warning posters were hung on the walls, requiring no smoking, no noise, no loud talking in the library. At the same time, people who read and borrowed books were allowed to take away all the **** they made.
This huge library adopts an open design, which is the same as the chapel of the orphanage in the first game of Muchin. From the first floor, you can directly see the roof of the top floor. The roof is very high and hanging on it. A huge ornate chandelier, but the light source of that chandelier is not turned on.
Standing in the lobby on the first floor and looking up, you can vaguely see the second, third, and fourth floors of the library, but because the lights upstairs are not turned on, the largest chandelier on the roof is not turned on, and it’s all black. Yes, that piece of pitch black seemed to be the sharp claws of some kind of ghost, completely isolating the second, third, and fourth floors from the first floor where Mu Qin was.
The only light source in this huge library seems to be the floor lamps and wall lamps in the lobby on the first floor, as well as the small table lamps on the front desk.
The library is not dilapidated. At least it is completely different from the map of the orphanage and Despair Paradise that Muqin has experienced. The bookshelves here are well-preserved, and the ground is clean and tidy. It looks like it is often maintained by people. There was no one in the huge space, and it was so quiet that the needle could be heard.
Mu Qin moved his steps and walked to the front desk of the library. He picked up a poster on the desk of the front desk. The name of the library was written on the poster—X City Center Library.
"City Center Library..." Mu Qin muttered to himself while holding the poster, he remembered! He knows this place! Mu Qin High School went to school in X City. Every weekend, when part-time work is over, Mu Qin would go to this downtown library to read and borrow books. In addition to borrowing extracurricular books, there are also learning materials and papers for borrowing.
Mu Qin also brought Zhou Yue to come with him. However, Zhou Yue has not come after one or two visits. Zhou Yue is not very interested in the books in the library. There is also a special arrangement for Zhou Yue’s Zhou Family Mansion. Zhou Yue's large study room is full of all the books Zhou Yue needs. As long as there are books he wants to read, Zhou's family will prepare them for him.
Because it happened many years ago, this library has never been here since Muqin went to join the army. This downtown library was probably renovated after Mu Qin left, because the shape of the library is completely different from what Mu Qin remembers.
Before, this library was a very common and closed building. It was also a four-story building. There were seven or eight rooms on each floor. There were various types of rooms in the rooms. Books, readers go to the separate compartment to find any books they want.
But now, the library seems to have demolished the internal rooms or compartments, and the whole building has been transformed into an open large space. All the bookshelves and books are laid out, which is not only spacious and bright, It also invisibly expanded the space, allowing more bookshelves and books to be placed.
With the beautiful design, it can attract more readers.
But now, Muqin doesn't like this design very much.
It’s too spacious to hide.
Muchin, who has become a "ghost", just needs to hide himself very much,
Then Muqin found a knife caught in the magazine on the magazine shelf next to the front desk. Mu Qin heard Zhou Yue say that when players become ghosts, a knife will be randomly refreshed near their spawn point. This is considered a weapon for ghost players, but if you don’t take this knife, it’s up to the player’s own wishes. Can be taken and used by humans.
Mu Qin chose to take it. He held the handle and looked at the blade, watching his face faintly reflected on the sharp blade.
Hide yourself in front of the humans, and then destroy each human one by one. This kind of game model is not bad, but Muqin feels it is too slow.
He doesn't have time to spend with others. Since he wants to kill, let's be thorough.
It's not that he hasn't killed anyone anyway.
Speaking of which, the judge was right about the gold shop robbery. Muqin was not defending himself by taking the gun, he was killing.
The moment he raised the muzzle and exploded the head of the robber, what he thought in his mind was—in the middle of the bullseye!
Mu Qin felt a little suffocated in his chest, and his hand holding the blade trembled slightly. He took a deep breath. He held the handle of the knife with his right hand and slashed the palm of his left hand with the blade. Blood suddenly appeared from the cut wound like a pearl. Then Mu Qin squeezed the injured left hand, and when he opened it again, the wound on the palm of his left hand was healed. Except for the blood remaining on the hand, the wound disappeared completely.
"The pain is reduced, but there is still a slight pain." Mu Qin felt the sensation of hurting himself with a blade just now. Zhou Yue said that the killer is immune to pain and dizziness. I am afraid that he is not completely immune, but is very sensitive to pain. Strong resistance, this is probably to alleviate the discomfort caused by the killer when he is heavily injured and heals himself at a high speed.
Because of the reduced perception of pain, general dizziness does not help the killer too much. If you want to stop the killer, you must do a great deal of damage to the killer, or use cards in the Tarot card that can stun or control the killer. It’s no wonder that the viscount of the card merchant told Muchin that as long as you are a human, you must never let the killer get the rebellious pope, and the rebellious pope is immune to all negative influences. The killer who gets this card cannot be immortal and cannot be controlled. It is invincible.
Mu Qin squeezed his fist again. When he squeezed the fist, the bones and joints of the fingers made a creaking sound. He could clearly feel the strength of his body. This was a very mysterious and unspeakable feeling, but he Knowing that his power is very strong now, he believes that he can lift the huge bookshelf full of books next to him with one hand.
With such power, and will not die, it is no wonder that in the eyes of the killer, humans can be slaughtered just like soft white rabbits.
But still can't be rushed, because Muqin hasn't figured out the "hole cards" in human hands. At least he has to figure out what cards they are holding and what their effects are before Muqin can really start playing.
Mu Qin then took away a newspaper from the bookshelf at the front desk, glanced at the library area distribution map hung on the front desk wall, and remembered the general division of the library and the location of the upper and lower entrances and exits. . Then he left the front desk area. He walked along the edge of the wall. There should be a toilet on the first floor of the library in front of him. He was going to walk around in the toilet.
Because Muqin feels that the library toilet is very likely to be a "birth point." The map of this game is such a big library. Apart from the gate of the library’s exit, Muqin vaguely remembers that there is a back door. These two doors are probably the "exit" of the map. Find the keys to these two doors. , Is the key to escape the map, which is the main task of the human side.
Although the library looks quite large, it is actually a very, very small battlefield where six people fight. Therefore, Mu Qin can easily guess that the six players should be refreshed in different places in the library. The first floor, the second floor, the third floor and the fourth floor. Each floor may be refreshed by one or two people. It’s a big place and refreshed. The location is really easy to guess.
Since Mu Qin was "born" on the first floor, and the first floor was very wide and light was on, Mu Qin did not hear footsteps or saw any human figures, so suppose there are people who were "born" like Mu Qin. On the first floor, the other party must have appeared in a place that Mu Qin can't see on the first floor. Where is the place that he can't see?
One is in the enclosed elevator up and downstairs, and the other is the toilet.
After all, the elevator is a tool for going up and downstairs. If the person refreshing upstairs comes down, it is easy for Muqin to bump into more than one person. So Muqin decided to try his luck in the toilet and see if he could run into a hapless guy who was alone.
If Muqin didn't meet anyone in the toilet, then he would go in and wash off his own blood stains that he cut out on his hands.
Muqin quickly found the toilet. He slowed down his steps intentionally when he approached the toilet, and at the same time lowered his footsteps. Quiet walking is an important part of what he learned in the army.
The reason why Muqin wanted to walk quietly was because he heard the sound from the toilet—he guessed it, the toilet was indeed the birthplace of one of them, and someone refreshed it here.
Not only refreshed here, but also turned on the faucet. After putting the water for a while, Muqin heard the sound of the other party turning off the faucet.
The voice came from the women's toilet on the right, but it is still unclear whether the other party is a man or a woman.
Mu Qin did not rush into the women’s bathroom. He thought about it at the door, took out the knife and cut his hand again, then threw the blood on the ground, faked the bleeding, and then dripped blood without moving. He walked slowly... quietly and quietly walked into the men's room next to him. He deliberately pulled the door of the men's room hard, making a sound, and then hid in the shadow behind the men's room door and waited.
It's up to the person to be fooled.
If the other person is a newcomer, if he hears the sound and then sees the blood, he may be curious and worried, especially the compassionate person. If he sees the blood, he will worry about whether someone is injured? So I will definitely come in and check it out. As long as that person does this, he will immediately fall into Muqin's trap. Muqin can cover his mouth from behind and cut his throat.
If the other party is not fooled and turns around when he sees the blood stains, then he is probably a veteran. Of course, there are some veterans who are full of confidence, even if they know it is a trap, they will come in and explore, and they will be tight all over to guard against the assassin's attack.
Thinking about these possible situations, Mu Qin took a deep breath and calmly waited. He has already figured out how to act in this game. He does not intend to appear in front of anyone, because he is too lazy to pretend to be himself. It takes time and energy to pretend, and it is a waste of time to lie and lie, especially Muqin. He must not let go of this inverted star on his body. Therefore, Muqin decided to take the form of full assassination.
Assassination has a big advantage. As long as Muqin is fast enough and hides enough shade, he can kill the opponent without even the card.
In this way, Muqin doesn't have to ponder over and over how to deal with human side cards.
After all, there is another assassin. Mu Qin doesn't know who the opponent is, and doesn't know the strength of the opponent. This method is the best.
Mu Qin, who had planned this way, continued to calmly hide behind the door of the men’s bathroom, and waited less than a minute. The man in the women’s bathroom next door seemed unable to bear it. He walked out slowly from the inside. Mu Qin heard The sound of the other party pushing open the toilet door, and the sound of cautious footsteps.
The other party seems to have spotted the blood on the ground, and must have seen the empty men's room door along the bloodstain. Muqin could feel that the other party was hesitating, he saw the blood, and what would he do? Come in and check, or turn around because you're afraid?
Mu Qin was motionless. He was very patient. He was not at all afraid or worried about what would happen next. For the first time, he discovered that he was actually very similar to Zhou Yue. To a certain extent, they were quite similar. Cold-blooded people.
The bait was dropped, and the prey outside finally couldn't resist the vigorous curiosity. Muqin heard the sound of the opponent walking towards the men's room, and the sound of footsteps got closer and closer to Muqin.
Mu Qin stepped back without a trace, completely immersed himself in the darkness, holding his breath and listening intently to the movement outside, he clearly heard the other person walking to the door of the men's room.
Then the man began to push the door, and the door was gently pushed open a gap by the man. The light from outside spilled in, and the light formed a long thin strip on the ceramic floor of the toilet. Then the man seemed to be afraid, and did not walk in immediately. Instead, he probed his head outside and asked in a low voice in the toilet: "Is anyone there?"
It's a woman's voice.
Very thin, soft and young voice, seeming to tremble with fear.
Mu Qin was taken aback by this female voice, but he settled down and waited silently.
The woman saw that there was no response in the men’s bathroom for a long time, she swallowed and pushed the door wider. The door creaked under her push, and then she walked two steps inside and started to the wall next to the door. On groping, it seems to be looking for a switch to turn on the toilet light.
Mu Qin stepped behind her at the moment she reached out to look for the toilet light switch. She covered her mouth and nose with her left hand to prevent her from making any noise. He held a knife in her right hand against the woman’s neck. He actually The poor woman should have been cut and killed immediately, but Muqin hesitated for a while.
If the other party is a man, maybe Muqin will do it, but the other party is a woman...
It's not that Muqin would underestimate her because the other party is a woman, but this woman is obviously a pure novice, the toilet is so dark, there are blood stains on the floor, and the situation is obviously so dangerous. She still ventured in and thought Turning on the light to see the situation, it was so stupid that Muqin couldn't bear to look straight.
So Muqin hesitated. He didn't choose to slap her right away. He just restrained her and didn't let go. So the woman instinctively started to struggle. This was the first time Muqin had experienced the power of the death card, this woman's violent struggle It felt like it was tickling to him, and she didn't even feel like she was struggling.
Mu Qin covered the woman's mouth with his left hand, and his right hand holding a knife strangled her neck, restrained her and dragged her back to the shadow of the toilet. In the middle, Mu Qin relaxed a little, and let go of the hand covering her nose and mouth, because she felt that covering her nose and mouth was about to suffocate her. Then the woman got rid of Muqin's shackles, she let out a violent gasp, and stumbled to try to escape, but she was very fragile, and she fell directly on the ground with just one step away from the soles of her feet.
So Muqin knelt down, grabbed the woman's shoulders, turned her over, pinched her neck and pressed her to the ground.
Actually, Mu Qin just pinched her neck very lightly, but she still looked like she was about to roll her eyes, grabbing Mu Qin's hand and struggling vigorously, Mu Qin projected in through the toilet. The lamplight took a close look at the woman's face.
This is a very young woman...or she should be called a girl. She is at most nineteen or twenty years old. She is very thin, about 1.6 meters tall. She is more than a little bit shorter than Muqin, and she weighs absolutely nothing. At a hundred jin, Mu Qin can lift her whole body with one hand. She has long black hair up to the waist, and she is pretty, with an oval face and small features.
The girl was terribly scared, especially when Mu Qin grabbed her and raised the shimmering blade in her hand, she was scared to tears.
She didn't cry. Mu Qin pinched her neck so that she couldn't make a sound. She could only make the short breath of suffocation to the extreme, and at the same time she kept shed tears. The big teardrops came from her eyes. One by one came out. Mu Qin glared at her, holding the knife and didn't know where to go. Finally, he could only sigh, let go of his hand and get up and let her run.
Seeing Muqin let go, the girl was shocked, sobbing as she got up. She really seemed to have reached her feet, and she couldn't run fast when she stood up. She ran to the toilet door step by step and just wanted to go out, but Mu Qin walked over in two steps and reached out and grabbed the girl's arm, and whispered, "Don't move. ."
The girl was frightened by him, and she didn't dare to move. She stood there obediently, short of breath.
She seems to understand that only by obediently obedient can the perpetrator let her go.
Grabbing the girl’s hand, Mu Qin kept sighing in his heart. He still overestimated his enlightenment. He thought he could kill anyone quietly. In fact, he could do it, but he Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the game, there is no way to deal with such an innocent sister who is still crying, okay! ?
Clearly know that there are no real innocents in this game.
Sure enough, Mu Qin was still unable to be truly cold-blooded and ruthless, because he was brought up so well, especially in those years around his adoptive parents. His adoptive parents were all good people, and they only taught Mu Qin to do the right thing. With such an excellent education since childhood, the best will be engraved on Mu Qin’s soul, and Mu Qin will eventually become as good as his adoptive parents.
So in the end, Mu Qin could not help but sigh, he thought:
Forget it, don't kill this girl, stay with her and use her as a cover.
Originally, Muqin wanted to assassinate the humans and another assassin one by one, but now that this variable exists, he simply becomes more adaptable.
Mu Qin made up his mind and asked the girl in a low voice: "What's your name?"
The girl shivered slightly, and tremblingly replied: "Chu...Chu Xin, my name is Chu Xin."
Mu Qin thought for a moment and continued to say to the girl: "Chu Xin, listen, from now on, my identity is your boyfriend and you are my girlfriend. Everyone else I meet next, if you ask You, you have to tell others that I am your boyfriend, you know?"
Chu Xin returned slowly: "Know...know..."
"Don't leave my sight, don't leave my side." Muqin said in a low and gentle voice, "As long as you are by my side, no one can hurt you."
