Chapter 106: Office outside

Views:

After going through so many rounds, Lu Chu has long been familiar with the process and has a clear understanding of the process.

Back in the pure white space with the square screen floating, he looked down at the time on the wristband—144′59″.

It was nowhere near twenty-four hours—one thousand four hundred and forty minutes, and he had not even half of that fraction.

The long battle line means that in the process of leading to the ending, everyone's life will be in danger again and again, and it must be repeated hundreds or thousands of times before reaching the end.

Besides, they don't yet know if there is really a path to the future at that end.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Lu Chu waited quietly, and then when the door leading to the illusion appeared and the time on the bracelet changed to 139′59″, he stepped into the door without any hesitation.

After stepping out of the door, Lu Chu saw a wide field of vision. It was strange that the illusion this time was night.

Except for entering the illusion for the first time, Lu Chu rarely saw the illusion at night. I still remember that the first illusion he experienced was a snack street, with the fragrance of various foods in the brightly lit night alley.

The illusion this time seems to be at a lantern festival. All kinds of strangely shaped lanterns are decorated and placed in the park. There are big ones and small ones. The big ones are as tall as two people, and the small ones are as big as children. They have different shapes, including pure animals and plants, familiar cartoon characters, and villains in New Year pictures.

Lu Chu raised his head and found that the top of his head was also covered with small colorful lanterns. Some of these lanterns were regular circles, and some were in the shape of stars and moons, full of childishness. They are threaded, intertwined, and hung from tree to tree. The dwarf bushes were also hung with colorful lights, dressed up like cute Christmas trees.

The moonlight is clear in the dark blue night sky, and the galaxy is shining brightly, dotted with glittering dots on the night, like a beautiful picture scroll.

This illusion looks very transparent and warm.

Lu Chu looked at the lanterns, but he didn't go far. He was waiting for his teammates.

Soon, Luo Qi came out, and when she saw Lu Chu standing at the entrance of the illusion, she nodded as a greeting, and stood beside him, waiting for the others with her arms folded.

After waiting for a few people that Lu Chu had never met before, Song Gui, Yuan Kejie, and Qian Zhen arrived one after another.

When Song Gui saw the crowd, he raised a smile and stretched out his hand, "Yo."

Luo Qi taunted: "Put away that face of yours."

Song Gui smiled and shrugged.

Yuan Kejie couldn't help asking: "One more game is over, and five minutes of the illusion will be subtracted from ten minutes. In fact, the single mission can only get five minutes of time increase. If this continues, when will it reach twenty-four hours? You Haven't found a suitable multiplayer mission yet?"

When it comes to important matters, Song Gui regains his composure: "I was just about to tell you about this. I found a suitable multiplayer mission. This mission is very different from the types of missions we have done in the past."

Luo Qi raised her eyebrows: "Which type?"

Song Guidao: "Team battle."

Yuan Kejie was surprised: "Team battle? With whom?"

Song Gui explained: "You should all already know that 'rules' are not unique."

Lu Chu immediately understood: "You mean, we will play against players under other rules."

"Well," Song Gui looked at several people, "Are you afraid of killing people?"

Qian Zhen shook his head.

Luo Qi sneered: "What do you think I relied on to survive until now?"

What Lu Chu thought of was the scene where 7 held his hand and inserted the knife into his body.

They will have blood on their hands after all.

And the first person he killed was his lover.

Only Yuan Kejie hesitated: "If possible, I don't want to hold back, but my actual combat ability is really weak, I'm afraid I can't kill anyone."

"It doesn't matter," Song Gui said, "A good team can't be all fighters."

Lu Chu's idea is consistent with Song Gui's statement. In a complete team, the team members must have their own specialties and division of labor, and cooperate with each other to win. I have to say that Song Gui would be a good leader in the real world.

"This team battle is based on the number of surviving people in each team to evaluate the score. There are several teams participating. I don't know the exact number yet. When I see it, I will choose the number of people in this round." Song Gui continued to comment Everyone explained, "The number of this type of 'rounds' is rare, and the news I got from people who existed in the game earlier than me is that if the final result is qualified, then the people who died in the team battle will also die." will survive, which is why I chose this round."

He wants to reduce the risk, and the team he has finally formed must not miss a single person.

Luo Qi wrote down the key points, and then said: "I'm curious, where did you get so much information from?"

Song Gui said helplessly, "It's just a wide circle of contacts."

Luo Qi questioned: "The social circle in this kind of game?"

Song Gui didn't explain much.

Luo Qi didn't ask any more questions, she got to the bottom of it, she would know what she should know sooner or later. No matter how much Song Gui knows, as long as he has no ill intentions towards them, there is no need to worry.

Luo Qi pulled out a straw from the nearby bushes and bit it into her mouth, "Since the business is done, I will withdraw." After speaking, she put her pockets in her pocket, turned and left.

Seeing this, Yuan Kejie hurriedly said, "I'll go with Qiqi."

After finishing speaking, she trotted after Luo Qi. Luo Qi seemed impatient, but she did not refuse Yuan Kejie's company.

The taciturn Qian Zhen also said goodbye to the two, and then walked elsewhere.

In a blink of an eye, only Lu Chu and Song Gui were left.

Seeing no one around, Song Gui asked Lu Chu in a low voice, "Can you tell me about your experience?"

When Lu Chu heard the words, he knew that he was referring to his experience as a "person in the game": "You are very interested."

"Of course," Song Gui nodded as he should, and said with a smile, "It's all because of Lu Xiaochu that you are too mysterious, which made me so interested."

"But unfortunately, you still don't have a chance to find out this time." Lu Chu raised his hand with the bracelet and smiled, "Because I don't have much time left."

He didn't resist telling Song Gui about his experience, after all, Song Gui, who had met another "Lu Chu", already knew his biggest secret. As long as you know the people in his game, you can guess most of the facts.

Lu Chu looked at his remaining ten minutes - he really didn't have time.

Song Gui didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the lantern in front of him, and asked another important question: "Can Qi Li find us and complete the mission with us?"

Qi Li is a powerful person, his joining will greatly increase their chances of winning.

Song Gui himself and Qi Li do not belong to the same rule management and cannot communicate with each other, so they cannot know his situation. But for some reason, Song Gui felt that Lu Chu knew Qi Li's news and would give him the correct answer.

Sure enough, Lu Chu replied directly: "Yes."

The tone is full of determination.

Hearing this, Song Gui turned his gaze to stare at Lu Chu, feeling that he was a little different.

This change is subtle.

Lu Chu was originally a warm person, humble and courteous, which made people feel good at first sight.

But the sunshine and softness on his body now do not only come from his own tenderness, it is a kind of aura that can only be seen in a loved and happy person. The air will be softened.

Song Gui was a little confused, and then thought of the atmosphere between Lu Chu and Qi Li, Qi Li's concern and protection for Lu Chu, and Lu Chu's familiarity with Qi Li... He had a little guess in his heart, but he always felt that it was unrealistic. It's unbelievable, but the smile on Lu Chu's face couldn't stop him from thinking about it.

So he tentatively asked: "You and Qi Li, you..."

Hearing this, Lu Chu looked up at him: "Well, what?"

"The atmosphere between you is very strange. You..." As he spoke, Song Gui paused, even though he didn't believe his guess, he still expressed his thoughts, "Are you...together?"

Lu Chu was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Song Gui.

Looking at his expression, Song Gui knew that his unrealistic thoughts were actually right, so he dispelled the strange feeling in his heart and explained: "The feeling you have is different from before."

"Different?" Lu Chu asked.

"It's like knowing that I will be accompanied by someone to keep walking, so I become more determined and warmer." Song Gui tried to describe his perception to him, and as he talked, he felt envious in his heart.

Hearing this, Lu Chu smiled softly and admitted directly: "We are together."

There is not even fear and hesitation about the future. It is precisely because of such a right fit that falling in love is so natural.

Lu Chu said again: "But I'm very happy, you said that I became firm and warm, because he brought me these."

Song Gui said seriously: "Lu Xiaochu, you are a person who can give others trust and warmth."

Lu Chu looked at him in surprise upon hearing this.

"You are the only one who stands in front of me now, isn't it?" Song Gui asked with a smile. For the first time, his eyes were no longer disguised and concealed, and he looked at Lu Chu tenderly, "Love your own life, be humble Gentle, with a clear distinction between good and evil, without overwhelming sympathy, but respecting all life from the bottom of your heart. You must have given light and warmth to many people, but you didn’t realize it.”

Hearing this, Lu Chu was stunned, then curled the corners of his lips, and said softly, "If this is really the case, that would be great."

He has indeed always had a stable trust in life. When he calms down, even if he cannot see, he can still see light and warmth from the bottom of his heart. When you feel that life is not easy, just think about the green trees and blooming flowers that you have never seen before, and there will be a coldness flowing in your heart, bright and warm.

If this inadvertent emotion has ever given power to a person.

That's great.
