Unlimited Cycles of Death: 63. Library (9)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Infinite Retracing Death!
Occasionally, Muqin feels that there is another self in his body.
The other one is very cruel and cold-blooded, has no emotion, and does not sympathize with others, just like a doll with a steel heart and no soul.
This soulless puppet will inadvertently occupy Muchin’s surface consciousness, slowly eating Muchin’s brain with cold and darkness, causing Muchin to perform various extreme behaviors under certain circumstances. Whether it was the gold store robbery many years ago or the double ghost game in the library, Mu Qin could clearly realize the extreme indifference in his heart. He had no complaints about depriving others of their lives, as if he was born to be. A murderer.
Awareness of this fact makes Muchin feel scared, but the most terrifying thing is that he sometimes doesn't even feel the fear.
Muqin found that his feelings were disappearing. As he wielded the blade one by one to take the lives of others, all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys left him, as if a part of his soul was taken away by something. He changed from a sound human being with all kinds of emotions to something else, another species, an indescribable monster.
This feeling is terrible, so Muchin will instinctively try to forget it. He tries to ignore the sense of disharmony and focus on what is in front of him.
The last "human", Qiao Yuanfei, had been pleading for mercy and begged Mu Qin to let him go, but Mu Qin had no relentless heart. He still killed Qiao Yuanfei and slit his throat with a knife.
The process was quite easy. There was only one medical card left on Qiao Yuanfei's body. In the process of being chased by the killer, it didn’t make much difference whether this card was used or not. Qiao Yuanfei knew that he had no way. Retire, so he chose to catch it with his hands. He stood there waiting for Mu Qin's slaughter. Mu Qin even witnessed Qiao Yuanfei's desperate look before he died.
This made Muchin realize that the other party really wanted to live.
"I'm sorry...I probably didn't have one." After killing people, Mu Qin apologized calmly, not sincere but appeared very sincere. He stood in front of Qiao Yuanfei's body and whispered to him. Saying to myself, "I don't have... the guilt you said."
After saying this, Muqin stretched out his left hand to cover his eyes, then took a deep breath and tried to calm the weird emotions that were slowly spreading in his heart. It took him a long time to relax, and then he slowly disappeared from the kind of "all emotions disappeared." After he recovered from the state, he trembled and spoke to Qiao Yuanfei: "Don't be afraid, after death, we will all go to the same place."
But in this fringe world, where will the dead players go?
Mu Qin has been thinking about this problem all the time. He has always felt that since the fringe world connects dreams and hell, then the dead players must also go to hell.
But does **** really exist?
Mu Qin gasped slightly, and was stunned to think in place. He suddenly heard an unexpected sound from the bookshelf next to him.
It was the kind of chucking sound made by a book falling on the ground, mixed with the clatter of pages turning, this sudden sound made Muqin, who was still in a sensitive state after the battle, turned his head abruptly. Quickly look at the sound source—there are rows of side by side bookshelves, on which books about history are placed, and a book with a red cover is dropped on the ground. It is unfolded, and you can see the densely packed characters on the pages. .
Mu Qin hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the book that fell on the ground. He walked to the side of the book, bent over to pick up the book that fell on the ground. It was a thick and very thick book. There is a heavy book. Mu Qin glanced at the title of the book cover. The big characters "xX City Chronicles" came into view. This is a book that records changes in the city. Mu Qin simply flipped through it, and it was all boring. And also piled up rhetorical words.
The book was not too unusual, and Mu Qin closed the book. Then I glanced at the bookshelf beside me. There was an empty space among the densely packed books on the bookshelf. It is estimated that this chronicle fell from here.
But it’s weird that the books on the shelf are arranged so closely, one by one is closely attached to each other, and each book is tightly clamped. If someone deliberately pulls it out, the book shouldn’t be easily removed from the shelf. It fell, but it fell, and it attracted Muqin's attention.
Mu Qin thought for a while, raised the chronicle in his hand, put it back on the shelf, and then Mu Qin stepped back and left the shelf. He walked only a few steps away, and soon heard behind him again. There was the sound of books falling to the ground.
So Muqin looked back again and found that it was the same chronicle, which had fallen to the ground again.
Muqin walked over again, walked to the side of the chronicle, and looked down at the open page of the book.
On the opened page, among the densely packed characters, there are a few words marked with a red water-based pen—that is, the specific characters are circled with a red pen, and these circled words are combined into a sentence The words are: Break the wall and let me out.
Mu Qin bent down and picked up the chronicle again, read the circled words on the page again, then he raised his head and looked at a wall not far from the bookshelf.
Mu Qin had read a newspaper on the magazine shelf at the front desk of the library before. The newspaper reported about the haunted incident on the second floor of the library. It is said that a few years ago, a female student killed her cheating boyfriend in a single room on the second floor of the library, chopped up the body and covered the whole wall with blood, and then committed suicide. Then the administrator of the library asked someone to close the single room on the second floor, and blocked the door of the single room with cement and bricks.
After the single room is blocked, such supernatural events will often occur on the second floor of the library, such as women crying, tables and chairs moving, books on the shelves falling by themselves, etc...
Muqin believes that the remaining information on the map is not all groundless. The system must hope that the player will find and find it before placing these information in various obvious locations.
So Mu Qin has to believe that there are indeed ghosts and ghosts on the second floor of this library. Except for Chu Xin, the human beings are dead, and Chu Xin hasn’t moved on the first floor. , Mu Qin looked down from the railing on the second floor platform, and he could see Chu Xin in the lobby on the first floor looking through the books on the shelf intently.
Therefore, this "Chronicles of XX City" will never fall off the shelf inexplicably without human intervention. If you think about it carefully, only the reason for ghosts can be believed.
After all, the fringe world is a "magical" world, and it is normal for a few ghosts to exist.
These words circled in red pen are probably the messages left by the ghost to Mu Qin. The other party hoped that Mu Qin would help to break the wall open. Mu Qin thought about it and felt that after the wall was broken, it might be inside. What export props? Although Mu Qin as a ghost can't use these props, he can find them for Chu Xin.
Therefore, Mu Qin found a fire axe in the stairwell on the second floor and took the axe back to this wall.
There are indeed many single study rooms on the second floor. The doors of each study room are arranged neatly and orderly. Two of them are very far apart, and there are traces of fresh paint on the wall in the middle, which is very interesting. You can see the traces of this new painting, which are the bricks, the cement, and the wall paint to plug it up.
Mu Qin observed for a while, holding an axe and starting to smash these newly painted walls. The power of Death was extraordinary. When he smashed it down like this, he instantly cut a big hole in the wall.
Behind the hole in the wall is a small, dusty room with little space, filled with tattered tables, chairs and bookshelves, and dusty. After Mu Qin chipped away the wall, the dust inside overflowed, and it also brought out a rotten stench, which made Mu Qin frown.
After the dust dissipated, Muqin walked in and took a look. This small room has a small space. After entering the door, there are bookshelves on the left and right walls, and there are many broken tables and chairs piled together in the middle. A simple and generous chandelier hung from the ceiling. Mu Qin fumbled for the light switch on the wall. After pressing it, he found that the wiring in the room was still working because the light was turned on and everything was illuminated in an instant.
Probably because it is a study room, the light source is a cold light for eye protection, and it is very bright, illuminating the small room at a glance.
This closed study room seemed to have been cleaned up before it was closed. The valuable things inside were removed. Only the shabby desks and chairs and the shabby bookshelves were placed on the bookshelves with some old books. The kind of books with broken pages, broken, unrecognizable books were randomly stacked on the shelves and corners of the ground.
"It seems that I have piled up unnecessary books and garbage here." Muqin muttered to himself, and began to search for something in this small room.
He remembers that he read in the newspaper that this girl who killed and then committed suicide in the study room once wrote a "novel" in a notebook with her own blood and hid it in a certain library in the library. It’s just that no one has found this "blood book" on a bookshelf, so everyone else thinks it is a false statement.
However, in the fringe world, there is nothing false or false, as long as there is this clue, it proves that it exists.
So Muqin began to look for the old books piled on the shelves in this "reseeing the sky" study room. He flipped through them one by one. When halfway through, he suddenly heard a woman's laughter.
It's not Chu Xin's voice, Chu Xin's voice is soft. Muqin could tell that it was the voice of a woman he had never heard before.
So Muqin turned his head and looked at the sound source.
Immediately afterwards, Muqin saw a ghost in the innermost corner of the room.
It is definitely a ghost, because "she" is semi-transparent, very fuzzy in bright light, with only a human silhouette. The clothes she wore seemed to be school uniforms. The high school summer uniforms are uniform white short-sleeved shirts and loose trousers for both men and women, so this ghost is also dressed in this dress.
She has long waist-length hair, long and straight black, and draped softly over her shoulders. She was about the same height as Chu Xin, and seemed to be a little shorter than Chu Xin. She seemed to be floating without touching her feet...Because the contours of her feet were too transparent, it looked like she had no feet, so Muqin could not tell whether she was standing on the ground or floating a few centimeters above the ground.
Other than that, Mu Qin basically looked down on her face, the translucent ghost was too vague, and there was a feeling that it was about to disappear.
It was this ghost who laughed, and when Muqin looked at her, she was still laughing.
She laughed for a while and found that Mu Qin was looking at herself, so she stopped smiling, seemingly surprised, and said to Mu Qin: "Are you looking at me?"
"Who else can I see?" Mu Qin is not afraid of ghosts, because looking at this ghost girl, Mu Qin suddenly recalled the "ghost mother" he had seen in his childhood, which was once considered an illusion by Mu Qin. "Mom".
Now that I think about it, it may not be an illusion.
The ghost girl was surprised and happy, and said to Muqin: "It's really happy and regrettable that someone can see me."
"Happy...and regretful?" Muqin was puzzled, "Why regret?"
"Because you are leaving soon." The ghost girl said, "You won't stay in this map for too long. You will leave here. When you leave, we will never see each other again, so I feel sorry."
Mu Qin was very surprised by what the ghost girl said, he said in amazement: "Do you know this is... a map?"
"Of course I know, because I was created by the will of the marginal world." The ghost girl floated out of the corner. She swayed to Mu Qin and moved closer to Mu Qin.
She went on to say, “Will the world created this map when it created everything related to the map. The map was perfectly copied according to the real world scene, and I... was also when the map was born. The product derived from it."
"The real me has died in the real world and has become a kind of magnetic field similar to a ghost. When World Will copied the library, it copied this magnetic field... Yes, I was just a copy. "
Mu Qin was shocked at how this ghost girl could understand the truth: "You know how you were born, don't you feel scared or have other feelings?"
The ghost girl listened to Mu Qin's words and seemed to tilt her head to think about it, and then replied to Mu Qin: "Probably because I am not a real human being. I don't have much feeling. And, even if I feel it. It's useless, I don't have the power to change my situation, I can only choose to go with the flow."
"My existence is very short. After you leave, the map will disappear, and I will also disappear...unless another player wants to enter this map next time, so the world will reopen the map, I Will wake up again. But when will the next batch of players come? The chance of reopening the map is very slim, so I will say that this is the last side of you and me."
When the ghost girl said this, Muqin also began to feel sorry, and whispered: "Initially and in the end..."
"By the way, the props you're looking for are on the top floor of the bookshelf, the fifth one on the left." The ghost girl pointed out the items he needed for Muqin, and said: "That's the real world. There is a real “novel” I wrote. Some people say it was written in blood, but it’s not so exaggerated. It was written with an ordinary red water-based pen. At the beginning of the novel, there was only a red pen on hand. , I didn’t want to change back to black, so I kept writing with red pen."
Mu Qin raised his head and stretched out his arms to take the book on the top shelf of the bookshelf, and successfully touched the so-called "blood book"-a beautiful and delicate notebook covered with a blue patterned book cover.
After opening it, I glanced at it randomly, and it was covered with beautiful and clear red writing.
The ghost girl whispered in Muqin’s ear: "If you want, you can read this novel. Although I am not very good at writing, I would be very happy if there are readers. You will be I am the first and last reader."
"What kind of story is it?" Muqin touched the beautiful font on the notebook with his finger.
The ghost girl laughed like a silver bell: "The stupid love story of a stupid girl."
"Of course, you can choose not to watch it, because this story is really boring." The girl wandered back and forth in the room, "There is a key hidden in the cover of this book. This key corresponds to the door of the basement. .Finally, whether you look at it or not, I hope you can burn this book before you leave, and I will disappear after burning. I don’t want to disappear with the map, so I hope to disappear now."
"Even if it burns, if the map restarts next time, you will still be awakened, right?" Muqin thought.
The ghost girl replied: "It doesn't matter, I just don't want to disappear silently by myself after everyone is gone or die. It feels too uncomfortable."
Muqin suddenly wanted to ask the ghost girl a question. He asked: "If you are a ghost, can you see the soul of the dead?"
"Do you mean the people you just killed?" The ghost girl pointed out Muchin's thoughts sharply.
Mu Qin did not evade, nodded obediently: "Yes, can you see it?"
The ghost girl continued to laugh: "They left, unlike me. After the players die, their souls will leave the map immediately... As for where to go, I don’t know, but I think... it should be calm. Place."
"A peaceful place?" Muqin was slightly puzzled.
"Yes." The ghost girl said gently, "No need to think, forget everything, a cold and dark but very calm place."
Mu Qin talked a lot with this ghost girl, because this girl seemed to know some deep-level intelligence in the fringe world, such as...she knew what kind of will is in the fringe world.
"What kind of existence is it?" Muqin asked.
The ghost girl said: "I can't describe it specifically... Well, a huge mind without a body and deep wisdom. It's very, very great and shocking, although it is cruel and ruthless."
Mu Qin couldn't help saying: "Then do you know the will of this world, why do you want to create a fringe world?"
"Probably for screening," said the ghost girl.
"Screening?" Mu Qin was a little surprised, "screening what?"
"I don't know..." The ghost spread his hand and shook his head, "I only know that the will of the world has been looking for the right person, but it seems that it has not been selected."
Mu Qin said: "I'm surprised, you know so much, how did you know?"
"While the will of the world created me... how should I say, I seem to have spied the scaly phoenix horn with a huge thought...maybe not even the scaly phoenix horn, but I did get some information about this fringe world Game information." The ghost girl thought, "That great thought doesn't seem to mind my prying. It probably thinks that I can't be seen, communicated with others, and the time of existence is very short, so it doesn't bother to care about me."
The ghost girl knows so much that Muqin was surprised and surprised at the same time, mixed with some fears, but he still asked the ghost to prove: "Do you know the Butterfly Throne?"
"The Butterfly Throne...I know this, although I haven't seen it." The ghost said to Mu Qin: "So, do you want to know how to find the Butterfly Throne?"
"Looking for the Butterfly Throne?" Muqin was even more shocked, "Can that thing be found?"
"Yes." The ghost girl said surprisingly, and she smiled: "The Butterfly Throne is easy to appear. Generally speaking, the longer a map exists, the higher the probability that the Butterfly Throne will come out. In other words If you stay on a certain map for a long time, the Butterfly Throne will be 100% out."
"How long do you stay?" Muqin asked.
"Then I don’t know. It depends on the probability. Some maps can be displayed in a day or two, and some take ten and a half months, but they can stay on a map for ten and a half days. There are very few players. After all, the map is only this big and the resources in it are also limited. It is a question of whether food and water can last for ten days."
The ghost girl really knew more than Muqin had imagined. This made Muqin very excited. He wanted to get more intelligence and information from the ghost girl, so he continued to communicate with the girl.
Muqin and the ghost mentioned the Butterfly Throne, mainly to confirm whether the "king" on the Butterfly Throne can really be killed. Although Mu Qin and Zhou Yue discussed that the usurper would kill the king with the Death Card and the World Rebellion, this action was only planned and carried out in their imagination, and no one could guarantee whether it would be implemented.
But the ghost girl promised, she said: "A good combination of Death Card and Inverse World can definitely kill the king. In fact, Death Card and Inverse Destiny Wheel can also achieve the same effect, but there is time. Restrictions, and the effect of the wheel of fortune is weaker than the reverse world, which is prone to accidents."
"If I take these two cards and go to a certain throne map to kill the king on the throne, will I definitely become the'next king'? I mean, after all, I have an inverse world. , Can I use it to get rid of the shackles of the throne?" Muqin also wanted to know this.
The ghost shook his head: "No, the effect of Inverse World is not so powerful. The Throne is equivalent to a part of the map. It is a building that is always in an'invincible' state. Inverse World can only let you get rid of the king. Control, but it can’t get you out of the throne."
Mu Qin understood, and sighed helplessly: "In other words, if I want to kill the king, but don't want to be bound by the throne, I can only go to ‘other’ to do it for you."
"Can kill the king without wanting to be restrained..." The ghost girl touched her chin in thought, "I think, maybe it can be done."
Mu Qin stared at her: "Really? So what should I do?"
