Different from Lu Chu and Song Gui's astonishment, Luo Qi and Qian Zhen's most intuitive feeling is that this person is very strong, and they are not opponents.
Yuan Kejie was stunned on the spot, the hand that was about to close the window was still in mid-air, her movements froze, she blinked and said in confusion: "This..."
Luo Qi knew that she couldn't beat him, so she simply put the shovel in her hand back on her shoulder, and turned to look at Song Gui: "Do you know him?"
While Luo Qi was speaking, Yuan Kejie still went to the window and pulled down the iron curtain, closed the window, and lit the candle that was searched before, then turned around and said to Song Gui: "It shouldn't be an acquaintance... I'm not sure Are we five on a multiplayer mission?"
Qian Zhengang frowned, stared at 7, and said, "Who are you?"
7 stood up, raised an ancient Japanese sword and hung it in front of him, and put it aside, signaling that he was harmless. This ancient knife is simple in shape, with a length of 80 centimeters on the wooden handle. The slightly curved blade reflects the bright white light against the candlelight. Lu Chu has heard of this kind of long sword, an ancient Japanese weapon. It belongs to the category of Tai Dao. Tai Dao is a weapon used in immediate combat. It has a long blade and is not as convenient to use as a sword. Combat on foot.
Qi Junyi's face looked even deeper under the candlelight. Orange candlelight danced in his black eyes. Looking at the people present, he said calmly, "Do you mind having one more teammate?"
Song Gui frowned and asked, "Aren't you in the game?"
7 put away the sword and looked at Song Gui: "I am the same as you."
The implication is that, like you, I am a player in countless "games".
Although the others had already guessed it, they were still extremely surprised when they heard him say it.
The "rules" stipulate that in multiplayer missions, the captain selects teammates and then enters the "game". That is to say, if they do not choose, players under the same rule will not enter the same "game" at the same time as them.
Qian Zhen hit the nail on the head: "So, you belong to different 'rules' from ours?"
7 nodded in acknowledgment.
Yuan Kejie shook her head: "That doesn't make sense. It stands to reason that only one group of players can enter each 'round'. Even if other players belong to different 'rules', the task that someone chooses at the same time will only be sent to another player. Parallel worlds, you must know that there are infinite number of the same 'rounds'."
This is why each person can only enter the same game once, and different people can choose the same task.
When he heard the word "infinite", Lu Chu raised his head and glanced at Yuan Kejie. He had already thought about this question the moment he heard it—the same "game" is infinite, and the same people in the game are Infinite, so is it true that the existence of "Lu Chu" is also infinite.
Lu Chu didn't dare to think deeply.
Lu Chu knew 7's identity, but he didn't know how 7 planned to tell others, so he kept silent, just looked at 7, calmed down, and put away the messy thoughts about infinite himself in his mind.
7 didn't beat around the bush, but showed his identity generously: "I do belong to a different 'rule' from yours. The 'rule' I belong to is only me. I am looking for a partner to carry out multiplayer missions."
Hearing this, Song Gui contacted the "game" they played together before, and automatically made up other plots. He guessed: "Is it true that you entered the same 'game' with me and Lu Xiaochu before, for the sake of Pick teammates who belong to other 'rules'?"
Song Gui's guess was not 7's original intention, but something he had already decided after listening to Lu Chu ask him the question in the last "game"—that is, to stand in front of other people, to be honest about his identity, to seek cooperation, and to be a teammate. Protect Lu Chu with his identity openly and aboveboard.
Maybe they can find a way out of the "rules" together.
Luo Qi shook her head: "I still haven't heard that two people with different 'rules' can enter the same 'game'."
Of course, just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean you don't have it.
7 is decisive: "You have already believed my identity."
Luo Qi sat down, raised her legs and dangled, with an innocent expression: "Believe it or not is the same thing, I'm just a little curious."
Luo Qi and Qian Zhen entered the "rules" earlier than Song Gui, but they didn't know as much as Song Gui about many things. Yuan Kejie came in later than Song Gui, and knew even less.
After hearing a few words from 7, Song Gui guessed some truths again, he said: "As far as I know, the 'rules' and the players are actually in a symbiotic relationship. If a player in the 'rules' If they all die, then this 'rule' will die with it."
Luo Qi raised her eyebrows: "Why don't I know? How many things are you hiding from us?"
Song Gui shrugged helplessly: "Didn't I say it before, when this mission is successful and we are sure that we can continue to carry out multiplayer missions like this, I will tell you what you want to know. Besides, in the 'rules' we are in, there is no There are more than 20 survivors, and it is not yet time to talk about extinction."
Yuan Kejie asked 7 after hearing the words: "So the 'rules' you are in chose to protect you for their own sake, and gave you the ability to carry out missions with other 'rules' people?"
7 nods, this is very close to things already. He has already confessed to these people his identity other than the "clearer". As for the reason for not revealing this identity, it is just to prevent Lu Chu's original identity as a person in the game from being discovered.
Luo Qi was a little excited immediately, and whistled: "It feels the same as fighting across servers."
Song Gui rolled his eyes at her.
In fact, Song Gui had already believed in Qi Li, he could feel the huge disparity in combat power between himself and Qi Li, and I'm afraid that all of them here were no match for Qi Li. If Qi Li wanted to harm them, he could have done it with absolute strength long ago, so why wait until now, confess his identity, waste his tongue, and waste his time.
After a brief discussion, Lu Chu, as the temporary captain, reached out and shook hands with 7: "You are welcome to join."
7 shook Lu Chu's hand, and the corners of her lips curled up.
Song Gui looked at Lu Chu, and suddenly felt that he had found something, but he couldn't touch it vaguely.
7 let go of Lu Chu's hand, and said to everyone: "Qi Li."
7 chose to use the temporary name "Qi Li", firstly because of the pronunciation "qi" in this name, and secondly because Song Gui also knew this name.
Everyone else switched names with him.
The few of them knew that they were not Qi Li's opponent, and at the same time, the team they wanted to form was always short of personnel, and Lu Chu had just met the bottom line of five people for multiplayer missions. Now if you add Qi Li, who has explosive combat power, the task will be completed more smoothly.
So 7 strangely integrated into Lu Chu's team as an outsider.
The process is surprisingly harmonious and simple.
That night, several people dragged the bed sheets they found to the living room on the second floor and put them together, taking turns to sleep and watch the night.
Nothing happened overnight.
When he woke up in the morning, Lu Chu still felt unreal.
Luo Qi, Song Gui, and the others are the kind of people who won’t give themselves reason to doubt once they’re confirmed. Every decision they make will affect their probability of survival, and they are responsible for the decisions they make every moment. the result pointed to. So now that they have made a decision, they will no longer hesitate to look forward and backward. Although they know that Qi Li may still have something to hide from them, as long as it is not something that harms each other's interests, it doesn't matter.
It just passed overnight, and several of them had fully accepted the status of 7 teammates. Yuan Kejie even began to worry that if they really became regular teammates in the future, how would Qi Li, who belonged to different "rules", find them.
7 said they don't need to worry about this.
Thinking of something, Yuan Kejie asked everyone, "Does anyone have a watch?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then it's hard to determine the time," Yuan Kejie said, "When we came out of the tower, we didn't have a watch, so we can only guess the approximate time. What time is twenty-four hours, we have to judge by our own feelings. "
Song Gui said: "You are not very good at this."
Yuan Kejie was helpless: "The time I determined based on the sun must be inaccurate! If we go late, we are afraid of losing the game; if we go too early, we will be exposed to an open area for a long time. What if we are surrounded by such monsters? ?”
"Then face the butt." Luo Qi didn't care, sharpened her shovel, and finally put the whetstone on the table, and asked, "Who will use it? If not, I will put it away."
Lu Chu laughed: "I didn't expect you to carry this with you."
7 stood aside, looking at the weapons that Lu Chu put together in his hands, seemingly thoughtful.
Several people were still struggling with the issue of time, but soon discovered that what was more important than time was to fill the stomachs of several people.
For those of them who are used to walking on the front line of life and death, it is not a problem to go hungry once or twice, but starving for too long will always affect their fighting level and reaction ability.
Lu Chu first suggested: "This house has been searched, there is no food, we need to go out and look for it."
7 decided to go to the west alone to collect food. Considering his strong fighting power, no one raised any objections. After discussing with the remaining few people, it was decided that Luo Qi and Qian Zhen should go to the east to collect together. Lu Chu, Yuan Kejie and Song Zhirui would be responsible for guarding the villa, protecting the stronghold and receiving the returnees.
After the others went out, Lu Chu conveniently packed up the bedding that several people had slept in.
Song Gui laughed and said, "Yes."
Lu Chu smiled and said nothing, maybe other people regard these "bureaus" as tasks, but he lives them as a life.
He was already in the game.
These worlds that are false and constructed in the eyes of others, in his view, are flesh and blood, affectionate and righteous.
