Views:

Qian Zhen was dumbfounded: "What... what?"

Song Gui immediately leaned forward and backward with laughter, clapping his hands happily.

Luo Qi half understood, she looked at Yuan Kejie blankly, Yuan Kejie patted her on the back: "Good boy, you don't need to know that much."

After playing around like this, Qian Zhen finally understood the relationship between Lu Chu and Qi Li, and after the initial shock, he gave the most devout blessings, and confessed that he really has a very powerful boyfriend.

Song Gui laughed again when he heard the words.

"Okay, put your emotions away," Song Gui wiped away the tears from his laughter, "Let's continue to talk about important things. So, what should we do next, do you have any ideas?"

Yuan Kejie shook her head: "Not at all. To be honest, the two most important problems we are facing now cannot be solved in a short time. We can only take one step at a time."

Song Gui tapped his fingers on the table: "Now first determine a problem, and then solve it, that is how we should enter the 'round' we have already carried out."

In fact, this question is not aimed at everyone; in other words, this question is only aimed at Lu Chu and Song Gui.

The reason is well understood—

For them, Lu Chu is the key "man in the game". Based on this premise, Song Gui had already entered the world of "the whole city lost sense", and because of this, he met another "Lu Chu" and learned of Lu Chu's true identity. And Lu Chu broke away from the world of "the whole city lost sense" as a player, which actually means that he has entered the world he has lived in, and he can no longer choose that world from the "rules".

In this way, neither of them has the conditions to enter the round of "the whole city loses sense".

On the other hand, Luo Qi, Yuan Kejie, and Qian Zhen have never entered the world of "the whole city loses sense", and they will not need to go in to bring back the target person in the future, so they have not violated the rule that "every player can only enter the same game." "once" law.

Even Qi Li has the ability to travel through any round at any time.

So this question is limited to only Song Gui and Lu Chu.

It's good to be confined to Song Gui, and the others can still continue on their way home. However, limiting Lu Chu is equivalent to limiting their hope.

Lu Chu also understands this truth, and it is not convenient for him to reveal his identity now. It's not that he doesn't trust Yuan Kejie and the others, but so far, they don't know the way forward, and there is a "cleaner" who is not an enemy but a friend watching from the dark. Lu Chu doesn't know how much that "clearer" treats him Understand, however, that the fewer people who know his true identity, the safer. When he finds the answer to the question that Song Gui raised just now, he will naturally confess to the others.

Song Gui naturally understood this truth, so he never mentioned it.

Several people discussed for a while, but without any result, the time of Lu Chu's bracelet was about to run out quietly.

Lu Chu looked at Song Gui: "Do you want to do other multi-player dungeons?"

Song Gui shook his head: "I haven't found a suitable one yet. I'd better be more careful. In the last round, Yuan Kejie died unexpectedly... Fortunately, it was a dungeon that can be resurrected. The next round may not be so lucky."

"Okay, I see," Lu Chu nodded, "Then I'll go back to my room first and accept the next solo mission."

Even if they know other ways to return to the real world, they can't relax when it's time to do the task. Because if there is really no way for players who have completed a certain round to enter that round again, they can only try the "twenty-four hours" method that Song Gui said at the beginning.

Either way, give it a go.

Song Gui warned: "Be careful in everything."

Yuan Kejie and others also said goodbye to him.

When the time was about to end, Lu Chu returned to his own white space. Looking at the thirteen square screens floating in the air, he did not hesitate to choose a suitable single-player task.

At this time, Lu Chu always thought that if he had difficulty in choosing, it would be very difficult.

Soon, Lu Chu's eyes were attracted by one of the tasks—

"Requirement: survive

Clue: Ghost Game

Hint: The first person to be killed by it will become its slave"

Ghost

Lu Chu heard legends and stories about it when he was a child. It is said that ghosts refer to despicable ghosts that become servants of tigers after being eaten by tigers. They often lure their relatives to be eaten by tigers.

Because he knew a little about ghosts, Lu Chu thought for a moment and chose this task.

After choosing a mission, Lu Chu walked into the door that suddenly appeared, and after experiencing the sudden weightlessness and confusion, he gradually integrated into the scene he was in now.

After seeing the scene clearly, Lu Chu opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

I saw that his current position seemed to be on the deck of a ship, the ship was shaking slightly with the waves rolled up from time to time in the endless blue sea, a full moon was bright in the dark blue sky, dotted with stars, behind him was Luxurious cabin with lights on.

In front of him, there was a man whose legs were sawn off irregularly by a sharp weapon, sitting on the edge of the deck, leaning his back on the side railing of the ship. The man seemed to have had his legs amputated alive, his head was covered with cold sweat from the pain, his lips were white and tightly closed, and he seemed to be trying his best to endure the severe pain. The pair of his sawed off legs were neatly placed on both sides of his body, and the shredded meat and warm blood splashed all over the ground.

On one of his severed legs, there was a long, sharp, blood-stained dagger sticking upright, presumably the man was slowly amputated by this dagger.

"Lu Chu...you...kill...kill me..." Enduring the severe pain, the man opened his scarlet eyes and looked at Lu Chu word by word, with pain and hatred for the murderer in his eyes.

Lu Chu frowned when he heard the words, and couldn't bear it. It seems that this man must be in too much pain, so he asked himself to give him a relief.

Seeing Lu Chu's pitiful and sympathetic expression, the man struggled and trembled even more, stretched out his fingers to land on Lu Chu with the last bit of strength, and said in despair: "You...killed me..."

At this time, a man and a woman ran out of the cabin, and they seemed to be friends of Lu Chu's current status.

Seeing the scene in front of them, they gasped. The blond foreign woman said in fear, "This is already, the third..."

Hearing this, the dying man pointed out that Lu Chu's hand hadn't been put down, and he repeated feebly: "Kill...kill me..."

Seeing this, the three couldn't bear to turn their backs.

The woman who spoke just now covered her face: "He is in too much pain, I must want you to give him a good time."

Lu Chu closed his eyes, got rid of the pity in his eyes, and finally pulled out the knife on the broken leg to give that person a good time. The feeling of the knife being inserted into the flesh made Lu Chu's body tremble slightly, and the person who was in extreme pain finally breathed out.

After doing all this, Lu Chu took a deep breath and turned to look at the cabin behind him.

Looking in from the outside, the cabin is brightly lit and resplendent. It should be a decadent scene of singing and dancing, but now it is cast a shadow of death for no reason.

"Chu," the foreign woman looked at Lu Chu, "let's go back first, this place is too scary..."

Lu Chu nodded, and followed the three people into the cabin.

After the luxury ship enters, the first thing you see is the magnificent hall, dozens of people in suits and dresses, exquisitely dressed, talking proudly, talking and smiling while holding goblets, or gracefully dancing on the dance floor. Go in circles. The waiter in a tuxedo shuttled around carrying silver plates, and on the steps beside him, there was a classical band playing a soothing faint. These people didn't seem to notice what was happening outside the cabin, as if even in the end of the world, they still want to live and die in a state of luxury.

The foreign woman couldn't stand it anymore. She walked aside, picked up a goblet, and slammed it on the iron wall beside her. The sound of the glass breaking was especially harsh in the soothing classical music. The people who were dancing and talking stopped their movements, even the band beside them stopped playing, and turned their eyes to the blonde woman.

Among them, a man who knew the blonde woman wondered, "Ai Li, what's wrong with you?"

The foreign woman named "Ai Li" said excitedly: "Just now, on the deck, another person died. This is already the third person on this journey!"

As soon as these words came out, a pot exploded on the dance floor, and people began to panic and discuss in a hurry.

"What, another person died?! Didn't it mean that the cause of the previous murder was found out, was it a murder of love? The murderer committed suicide!"

"My God, could this cruise ship be cursed..."

"It must have been done by those filthy civilians down there! I just said don't drive them..."

"Where is the captain! I want to find the captain!"

"..."

Amidst the loud shouts, these people were all lost their proud etiquette by the sudden shadow of death. Someone even went to the deck, and retreated back covering his mouth after seeing the man's death.

In a panic, the waiter hurriedly retreated to look for the captain.

Not long after, a man wearing a captain's uniform, slender and handsome, with a deep and handsome face came out.

The man spoke calmly and comforted everyone: "I am the captain of this cruise ship, Shen Mingyi. I already know what happened on the cruise ship. We will find the murderer as quickly as possible. Please stay calm. In addition, the murderer may be Among us, here, I can only regretfully ask everyone to stop the entertainment and go back to their rooms to protect their lives."

When the others heard him say that the murderer might be among them, they were startled, and immediately began to suspect the people around them. Some people were terrified, and obeyed the captain's words, and hurried back to their rooms.

Not long after, the lively and gorgeous banquet hall became empty.

Lu Chu bid farewell to Ai Li and stayed in the banquet hall.

After seeing that everyone had evacuated, the captain ordered the bodyguards behind him to seal off the crime scene first, and strode towards Lu Chu.

Lu Chu smiled: "Captain Shen, good evening."

7 rubbed the top of his soft hair: "You are my captain."
