When Lin Yining woke up, the two companions had already returned, and they were sitting and eating not far from him, but they didn't come over.
Because of the plant beside him.
The relationship between Lin Yining and this plant began during Jasmine's second pass. When Lin Yining was being hunted down by the gorilla orcs, he used him to fight back and was caught up. In Lin Yining's memory, this plant has a gentle and harmless appearance, and mostly uses poison to attack people, but it is different now.
It has dark green leaves, coquettish red flowers bloom at the top, and pale spikes on the branches, a bit like a beast.
After Lin Yining saw it, he knew that this seed that had put him in trouble had a special connection with him after being catalyzed by his blood.
"What are you going to do with this little guy?" Duanmu Xiao was at the side, eating fried chicken, and said inarticulately: "He won't let us get close to you, Lao Ge means to get rid of it, I think we should wait until you wake up. "
The plant heard the word 'dispose of', as if consciously, the topmost flower shook slightly a few times.
Lin Yining didn't answer him, and approached the plant, wanting to touch its leaves.
The plant seemed to be frightened, and avoided it. The spikes on the branches were about to move. Lin Yining stared at him without blinking, and continued to approach him.
It guarded against Lin Yining, but did not fight back, allowing Lin Yining's fingertips to touch its leaves.
"Good boy." Lin Yining whispered.
This seemed to comfort the plant, it gradually relaxed, and then a white light flashed, and he disappeared in place. On the knuckles of Lin Yining's wrist, there was an extra tattoo.
"It's quite obedient." Duanmu Xiao smiled, holding a fried chicken nugget close to Lin Yining's wrist: "Do you want to eat?"
The tattoo on Lin Yining's hand didn't move at all.
"Okay, stop making trouble." Ge Sinian said: "Let Lin Yining come over for something to eat first, time is running out, we have to talk about business."
Ignoring the large hole in the floor, Lin Yining sat next to the two of them and asked, "How is the situation?"
"There is a feeling of being regarded as a rape." Duanmu said.
Ge Sinian glanced at him and said, "In the book, apart from the plot in the book, I also saw some unpleasant past events."
"It seems that I'm not an exception." Lin Yining tapped the table a few times with his fingertips, and said: "The plot in the book, my past, and a strange girl are roughly in this order. If the task If the target wants to use your memory to attack, the situation is not too bad, he has no idea."
"Girl..." Ge Sinian thought for a while, took out the phone from his pocket, rummaged through it, and found a photo: "The one I saw inside was her."
The photo is in Ge Sinian's circle of friends, with the accompanying text: It rained again today, as heavy as the day you disappeared, Jiajia, I hope you can come back safely.
"Missing?" Lin Yining was surprised. He took the phone and flipped through it. Among the more than 30 messages before and after this circle of friends, there was no more information about this girl.
Thinking of everything he experienced in the book just now, Lin Yining returned the phone to him and said, "The person I met in the book said that I killed a girl, and I think it was her."
"If this is the case, then it can be inferred that she died. As one of the people targeted by the mission, the role you played said no. Then in her death, the role you played must not be innocent."
The atmosphere in the triple room was silent for a while.
"So, that perverted white coat brought us in because of her?" Following Lin Yining's train of thought, Ge Sinian pondered, "Then what consequences does he want to see when he does this?"
"We kill each other."
"Kill the other players."
Lin Yining and Duanmu spoke in unison.
"Eight ready-made murderers." Duanmu twirled a knife in between, chuckled: "Obviously, he is telling 'us' that he wants to avenge this girl. Unfortunately, his thoughts are too naive, Too eager to expose myself. In addition to killing other players, I can also choose to kill him."
"Very good, you are fighting with the mission target. This is the mantis catching the cicada. Jiang Mengchen is sitting behind waiting for the harvest. This is the oriole behind." Ge Sinian sneered: "Where do you think you are? In the dream of the mission target , Is it easier to fight him than to kill Jiang Mengchen?"
"So?"
"Try to kill a player from Jiang Mengchen's side." Lin Yining said, "It's best if you don't have to fight him, if it's enough to kill a little guy."
"Stop fighting for Shu Boxuan?"
"It's the player who killed Jiang Mengchen." Duanmu Xiao leaned on the chair casually, and said, "Jiang Mengchen has one of his confidantes, and Shu Boxuan has someone under him who was sent by Jiang Mengchen. It's not too difficult to choose two out of three. "
Lin Yining's tone slowed down, he raised his head thoughtfully, and looked at Ge Sinian: "If our deduction is correct, the mission target in this dungeon will read our memory and use it to attack us. Now think about it , Before entering the library, I was indeed distracted for a while, and then I remembered that person. Before you entered the library, did you have any omens?"
"You mean..." Ge Sinian was thoughtful.
"I met him in the library today, and I mentioned your name, and his reaction was very intriguing." Lin Yining said, "Now may I ask, what is going on between you and him?"
After a long silence, Ge Sinian let out a sigh of relief and said, "In my first novice mission in the game, my partner was Shu Boxuan's younger sister."
Hearing this, Lin Yining had some guesses in his heart.
"That mission is more difficult, it's... a battle royale game." Ge Sinian said, "She saved me first, then I protected her, and we hid together for a while."
Lin Yining noticed something: "Is it the battle royale game at Jingcheng Subway Station?"
"Yes." Ge Sinian said, "You are the number one in that game, right?"
Lin Yining didn't speak.
"You also remember the rules of the battle royale game. Kill a player, you can get a ticket to go out, and kill a hunter, you can get five tickets. It stands to reason that with the strength of their internal test players, it should be easy. It’s right to go out. Let you go out first because they are looking for easter eggs.”
The easter egg is the reflection of the galaxy that Lin Yining got.
Ge Sinian's tone was very indifferent: "In order to find the easter eggs, they used many methods, one of which was...killing other players. Shu Boxuan's sister was also killed by mistake."
"...Shu Boxuan definitely knows that his sister is dead..." Duanmu murmured: "The internal beta player has an inquiry ticket. As a senior player of a big power, he will definitely not be able to afford it... He has been checking this matter, so ...Jiang Mengchen is wary of him intentionally or unintentionally, this is probably one of the reasons."
"It's more than that." Ge Sinian said: "At that time, in the dungeon mission of the subway station, it was Jiang Mengchen himself who decided to kill the player to find the easter eggs."
This is something Jiang Mengchen and his Chenxi can do.
When most players started to enter the game, Dawn also began to expand. If Chenxi was just a small workshop during the closed beta, then Chenxi after the official start of the game is a company with a good scale. Under the rapidly expanding rights, differences between Jiang Mengchen and Shu Boxuan were inevitable.
"Give Jiang Mengchen ten years, maybe he will ascend the throne." Someone said in the forum.
Pisces under the control of Jiang Mengchen has an extremely harsh system, far above other forces. A strict system is not without benefits, which makes the entire Dawn develop rapidly.
The word harsh is by no means as simple as the definition of dozens of words in the dictionary. Lin Yining is an example. He is very lucky. He has enough strength to give him a chance to fight against Chen Xi. More players, under Chen Xi's suppression, have nothing.
Against him, die. Block the way of dawn, or die. Like a player in a subway station.
"Isn't this just right?" Duanmu said, "Shu Boxuan is slightly better than Jiang Mengchen, but it's not a good thing. If you make good use of this point, this will be the last straw in the relationship between the two of them."
"All of this is based on a smooth plan." Lin Yining narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't forget, besides that side, we have another boss to deal with, and now we are still in his territory."
"Dealing with him is no easier than dealing with Jiang Mengchen."
.
In the afternoon, Lin Yining and Ge Sinian went back to the dormitory where they were in the game.
According to what they discussed, it will be divided into three parts. First, it is still necessary to figure out what happened to this girl. Second, they are staring at the player next to Jiang Mengchen. Third, when the next mission comes, if this time If the task target still wants to continue attacking them with their memories, they can go along with the flow and try to win over Shu Boxuan.
Lin Yining and Ge Sinian are students of different majors in the same college, and his dormitory building is on different floors of the same building. After returning to the dormitory together, Lin Yining opened the door.
A voice came from inside: "Boss, did you bring me food back?"
Lin Yining didn't know which of his roommates this was, but judging from his comments in the roommate group, Lin Yining was not the boss in this dormitory, so he didn't answer.
There was a bed on the upper bunk. He opened the curtain and poked his head out. After seeing Lin Yining, his eyes became indifferent for a moment, and he closed the curtain again.
Lin Yining looked at his face, and finally matched his face with his identity.
He ignored the man, returned to his seat, and looked around. There was a prominent book on the shelf, the autobiography of the murderer he had entered last night.
Lin Yining opened the book, flipped through it, and found a photo inside, which said: On May 16, the horror travel agency was in Du's old house.
In the center of the photo, a gentle girl smiles sweetly.
During the conversation in the morning, the three of them went through the information in the social software on the mobile phone, and finally found out the identity of the girl. Zhu Tian, a member of the horror travel agency, has always been the little princess in the club because of her beauty and good personality. In June of the last semester, the last activity of the club was to explore an abandoned hospital nearby. In the middle of the expedition, she insisted on coming back, and a boy went out with her, but unexpectedly, only one person came back.
Zhu Tian disappeared.
Of course they were interrogated afterwards, the teacher and the police. But the group of them can corroborate each other, and there are enough photos as evidence, Zhu Tian's disappearance has nothing to do with them anyway, so everyone in the club broke away.
But there are still some people who don't believe it, for example, the buddy on the bed has since broken up with the original Lin Yining.
It's early October, and Zhu Tian has been missing for more than three months.
There were some other things in the book, Lin Yining saw the bookmark that Zhu Tian gave to the original owner.
Under the girl's graceful handwriting, the original owner repeated over and over again in anxious handwriting: I am guilty.
Well, it seems that the mission target in this revenge is not aimless.
Lin Yining took the book and read it carefully. The book is very new, there is no handwriting, the original owner should have just read it briefly.
While he was reading, the bedroom door rang again. A tall and burly boy dressed casually, like an ordinary college student, was watching with a mobile phone in one hand and a lunch box in the other.
After he entered, he didn't seem to see Lin Yining, and raised his voice to the boy on the bed, "Fourth, come down for dinner."
Unexpectedly, the person on the bed just snorted lazily: "I'll eat it later, you can put it there first."
Only then did the boss see Lin Yining, and saw him standing there, flipping through the book carefully, turning a deaf ear to his roommate's complaints, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He pulled Lin Yining into the corridor and said, "Don't argue with him."
"En." Lin Yining responded casually, and said, "I'll leave later."
"Don't," the boss said in a hurry, "You still don't live in the dormitory anymore because of him? This is the eleventh holiday, and the school doesn't care. How can I explain to the instructor when the holiday is over?"
Lin Yining glanced at the mobile phone in his hand, and said, "They are all adults, I don't need to explain, after a while, I'll go and make up the formalities."
The boss had no choice but to say: "Whatever."
Lin Yining returned to the dormitory, and stuffed the original owner's computer and the book into the schoolbag, seemingly unintentionally, Lin Yining brought the cup of the person on the bed to the ground.
"What are you doing? Courting death?" He opened the curtain fiercely and cursed at Lin Yining.
Lin Yining ignored him at all, slammed the bedroom door, and walked out swaggeringly.
"Fourth brother!" There was a loud noise from behind, and the boss was persuading the man. Lin Yining didn't seem to care at all, took out his phone, but actually clicked on the app of Doomsday Game.
From the friend list, he selected Duanmu Xiao and clicked the communication button.
"I found one of Jiang Mengchen's subordinates, so I don't have to wait for the task at night." Lin Yining said, "I don't know if he recognizes me, but you guys should come first."
"What are you planning?"
"Let's fight." Lin Yining smiled softly: "Do you want to fight? If you want to come, I will wait for you in the coffee shop here in the dormitory area."
"Wait." After the other party dropped this sentence, he hung up the communication directly.
Lin Yining looked at the mobile phone in his hand, his eyes darkened. When they have a communication tool like a mobile phone, they usually embed the app in it, so...
Just now Lin Yining saw the interface of the forum on his mobile phone.
He waited in the cafe for a short time, Duanmu Xiao and Ge Sinian both arrived. Lin Yining said: "I asked him to come over, find a hidden place and wait."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm afraid he will lure Jiang Mengchen or Shu Boyang over." Lin Yining said, "To deal with him, I alone is enough."
"Are you okay?" Duanmu Xiao asked.
Lin Yining smiled slightly and said, "Very good."
From his seat, he dialed the number of the boss stored in his mobile phone and said, "Hello, boss?"
A voice came from over there: "Where are you? Why don't you come back tonight, I'm afraid you will fight with him like the fourth child."
"Well, I'm in the cafe. Come here and bring me something. I forgot my key." Lin Yining said in a natural tone.
The voice of the person over there paused and said, "Okay."
The dormitory area is not far from the cafe here, and after a while, the 'boss' came over with Lin Yining's key.
When he came over, Lin Yining's mobile phone was placed on the table, and it was the interface of the doomsday game app.
This is a provocation, but also a clear identity.
"Let's go, let's go outside and talk." Lin Yining leaned on the sofa cushion in the cafe, staring at him lightly.
There was a flash of panic in the man's eyes: "What are you talking about? What are you going out to talk about?"
"Talk about the fourth child, he has been treating me like this is not a solution." Lin Yining said: "You are the boss in our dormitory, help me persuade, I will treat you to dinner then."
"Alright." He forced a smile and sat on the sofa without moving.
Lin Yining stood up before him as if he didn't notice, and walked towards the door. Just when he opened the curtain and was about to go out, he suddenly heard a commotion from the cafe behind: "Student, what are you doing?"
'Boss' broke the window and is about to jump out of it!
On the other side of the cafe is a forest with a fairly large area.
Lin Yining turned his head and saw Duanmu Xiao also jumped out of the window.
At the corner of the cafe, a man stood up and smiled at them.
Shu Boyang!
It's a trap. Not only Lin Yining and the others had plans to lure each other out, but Shu Boyang and the others also had plans. Shu Boyang took one of them as a bait, and when the bait was about to run away, he lured out Ge Sinian or Duanmu Xiao who were with Lin Yining.
The strength of that Chenxi player is only in the middle of the big rankings. Lin Yining, or the other two people, said that the spike is not counted, and it couldn't be easier to solve him.
But it's eleventh now, and this cafe is considered one of the most crowded places in the whole school. Because of the good environment, many people are willing to bring their homework over to kill time.
That's why they couldn't kill this person with great fanfare in front of everyone.
Lin Yining didn't respond to Shu Boyang's smile, turned around and left the coffee shop, and chased in the direction where the 'boss' was escaping.
After all, they are not ordinary human beings, they run fairly fast, and after a while, they disappear from everyone's sight.
When Shu Boyang arrived, the 'boss' was already under the control of Lin Yining and the others.
Ge Sinian didn't show up, Lin Yining talked with Duan Muxiao for a few words, and finally decided not to kill him.
"If it was Jiang Mengchen, he probably wouldn't be here now." Duanmuxiao said, "Is there a good chance of winning against the two of us alone?"
"You are wasting time now, just tell me this?" Shu Boyang's eyes were stern: "You should think about it, how soon will Jiang Mengchen come over?"
"We didn't plan to fight two against five, so..." Lin Yining had a cold expression on his delicate face. "A few minutes is enough," he said.
"You should think about how to gain a foothold in the morning light after you go out." Lin Yining said.
"To sow dissension? This is too low-level." Shu Boyang said: "As long as I'm not stupid, no matter what you say, I won't listen."
"Then you might as well listen to what he's saying." Lin Yining pointed at the person caught by Ge Sinian and said, "I know that a person who pretends to be asleep cannot be woken up."
Shu Boyang no longer intends to talk to Lin Yining anymore, the few words just now were just delaying time. With the ear strength of a few people, they could all hear that Jiang Mengchen was about to come, and there were still two minutes at most.
What can you do in two minutes
Lin Yining chuckled unhurriedly: "You heard Ge Sinian's name and decided to let me go, which means you still want to know something. You are very clear about your situation, and Jiang Mengchen didn't believe it that much. You, right."
Before the words were finished, the 'boss' who had been kneeling on the ground suddenly burst out with blood in his throat.
"If you want to know, just wait quietly for our next surprise."
In 30 seconds, Lin Yining and Duanmu Xiao left the scene. This is the woods, the home of the elves. If they want to escape, Shu Boyang alone can't stop them. Besides, Shu Boyang doesn't dare to chase them alone.
He looked at his subordinates who were gradually losing their breath on the ground, and suddenly understood what Lin Yining was going to do, and he suffocated for a while.
A minute later, Jiang Mengchen arrived, looked at the dead Chenxi player and Shu Boyang who was clean, his expression was complicated for a moment.
"They ran away." Shu Boyang said.
"Nothing." Jiang Mengchen said: "There is still a chance next time."
Shu Boyang hummed, collected the corpses of his subordinates, and cleaned up the blood. They still have to do missions on this campus. It is not a good experience to be watched by the police.
"Bo Yang," Jiang Mengchen looked at his background and said, "I believe you, do you believe me?"
"Of course, are you the permanent boss of our dormitory?" Shu Boyang didn't see anything on his face, in fact, he almost blurted out a sentence just now.
Do you really think that I heard something in his mouth, so I chose to kill him
