Lu Chu's eyes blurred, and he was already standing in the gradually familiar white space.
The contact between the lips just now and Qi was obviously fleeting, but there still seemed to be a warm touch on Lu Chu's lips.
He raised his lips unconsciously, his ears were hot, his eyes were moist and soft, and his cheeks were also burned, stained with a thin layer of pink.
"Drip—" At this moment, the sound of the bracelet brought back his wandering thoughts.
Lu Chu shook off the sweet emotions in his mind, and looked down at the time on his wrist.
Before the start of the last "game", the remaining time on his wristband was 74′59″. After experiencing a multiplayer mission, the remaining time increased by 65 minutes.
Lu Chu didn't know the rules and basis for the increase in the time of multi-person tasks. At this moment, seeing the 139'59" displayed on the watch, he was at a loss.
Just as he was staring at the unchanging number and meditating, "139'59"" jumped to "134'59"", and then the still time began to move, decreasing second by second.
Lu Chu withdrew his gaze from the bracelet and looked into the white space. Sure enough, a door appeared in front of him.
He didn't think about it any more, but walked through the door.
———
The moment he stepped out of the door, his vision suddenly widened, and the dazzling warm light made Lu Chu unable to open his eyes for a while. After his eyes got used to the strong light, Lu Chu finally saw the illusion in front of him clearly.
This is—the playground
All I saw was a wide circular plastic runway, and Lu Chu himself was standing in the center of the green fake lawn surrounded by the runway, and there were two iron football goal frames at the end of the front and rear lawns. Looking far away, Lu Chu saw the words "Shaw Building" written on the nearest building to the west, and the buildings behind it looked like a cafeteria; to the east were basketball courts, libraries and other buildings that were blocked things.
This time the illusion appears to be a large university campus.
While thinking this way, Lu Chu had already taken a few steps aside, so as not to block the way of people coming out from behind.
I don't know if Song Gui and the others have come out, maybe not, Lu Chu thought. He came out as soon as the door appeared. If someone entered the illusion before him, he should not be far away, but the place is so wide open that at a glance, he can't see anyone else except himself.
As his thoughts drifted away, a person suddenly appeared from the door behind him.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lu Chu immediately turned his head to look, only to find that it was a man he had never seen before. The man's expression was chilling and indifferent, the furrow between his eyebrows was extremely deep, his face was black and yellow, and he looked fierce. After he came out, he didn't even look at Lu Chu next to him. After confirming the surrounding situation, he walked in one direction.
This person is probably one of more than 20 known surviving people in the rule Song Gui said.
The next one to come out of the door was Luo Qi.
When Luo Qi saw Lu Chu, she nodded to him, and then stood beside Lu Chu, as if she was going to wait for the others with him.
After that, several people that Lu Chu had never seen came out one after another.
In the past, Lu Chu always appeared in the illusion a few steps later, or went to other places after coming out, and rarely coincided with other people's time. This was the first time he saw so many strangers.
Soon, Song Gui, Qian Zhen and Yuan Kejie all appeared in the illusion.
Because the identities that 7 told them are players under the management of other "rules", they can complete tasks with them, but after all, the "rules" are different, so they cannot enter the same fantasy territory, and no one else has any doubts or doubts.
In this way, their people are all here.
Song Gui glanced at everyone: "It's inconvenient to guard the gate of the illusion here. Let's find another quiet place to talk."
Lu Chu nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Several people came to a forest behind the Southwest teaching building.
This place seems to be a relatively undeveloped area. It is located in a remote area, with luxuriant trees and shrubs, and beside it is a small lake that is covered with green water plants and has a slightly unpleasant smell. There is a small pavilion above the lake that has not been cleaned for a long time. Some corners of the eaves on the top of the pavilion have fallen off, and the wooden poles in the pavilion for sitting and rest also have signs of decay after a long period of weather.
Seeing this, Yuan Kejie couldn't help sighing with emotion: "The university I attended also had such a place. At night, it was a sanctuary for young couples to have an affair. Wave after wave of men and women, or two men and two women."
Qian Zhen: "..."
Luo Qi walked into the pavilion first. She bent down and picked up a scattered brick on the ground, threw it up and caught it again. She was very satisfied with the smoothness of the brick.
Song Gui went in to find a place and sat down regardless of whether it was dirty or not, and then asked a few people: "How much time do you increase? I am sixty-five minutes."
Song Gui reported the numbers first, and the numbers were the same as theirs. Lu Chu and the others replied, "Me too."
"It seems that the reward time for multiplayer missions is the same for everyone, but it's not fixed every time." Song Gui rubbed his chin, thinking, "It should take many factors into consideration, and there are many bonuses. "
Lu Chu heard this and looked at him: "For example?"
"The number of people." Song Gui said seriously.
Yuan Kejie was puzzled: "How many people?"
"Well, the number of people," Song Gui added, "specifically, it should be the number of people alive."
Lu Chu became interested: "How to say?"
Song Gui didn't answer, but asked him: "Do you remember that I told you that I once conducted a multiplayer mission?"
Lu Chu nodded. Song Gui said that only he and Luo Qi survived that time, and it must have been an extremely dangerous situation.
Seeing him nodding, Song Gui continued, "That time, the time we got to complete the mission was twenty minutes."
Yuan Kejie was surprised: "Twenty minutes?"
"Yes, twenty minutes," Song Gui glanced at Luo Qi, "if only Luo Qi and I survived."
The moment Luo Qi heard Song Gui say "the two survived", she raised her hand and gave Song Gui a brick.
Song Gui immediately stood up and swiftly dodged her attack.
Only then did Lu Chu remember that every time he saw Luo Qi before, Luo Qi would directly attack Song Gui with physical attacks. However, in the process of the last "game", Luo Qi did not take any other targeted actions except occasionally taunting Song Gui.
From another perspective, maybe this is also a kind of distinction between public and private
"Okay, Qiqi, stop making trouble," Yuan Kejie stopped Luo Qi, "We don't have enough time, this gathering is to discuss business."
Hearing this, Luo Qi immediately stopped attacking Song Gui, picked up a brick on the ground, threw it up and caught it again, and then stood back to her position silently.
At this time, Song Gui asked everyone: "I want to ask you, what do you think of our cooperation this time?"
Qian Zhen spoke first: "You can trust me."
Yuan Kejie added: "You can rely on your back, and you don't have teammates like pigs." Of course, Song Gui and Qian Zhen's non-chieftain luck is excluded.
Luo Qi also said: "Not bad."
"I think we can continue to cooperate." Lu Chu concluded with his lips curled up.
Song Gui showed a sincere smile after listening to the answers of several people, then immediately put away the smile, and said seriously: "I think so too, so from this moment on, we are officially on the same front. gone."
"So, next, I want to share a piece of information with you."
Luo Qi and the others had known for a long time that Song Gui had information they didn't know about, so they immediately looked at Song Gui with anticipation.
Although Lu Chu didn't know about it, he also had some guesses about what the information was related to.
At this time, Song Gui continued: "We all know that time is very important. This is not only reflected in the time we can stay in the illusion, but also in-"
Having said that, Song Gui lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of people's prying eyes, and whispered word by word: "How to get out of this game."
The other four people's eyes widened when they heard the words.
Break away from... this game.
This is the dream of many players, to get out of this infinite loop of suicide games and return to normal life, even if the normal life is ordinary, it will be a life of mediocrity and nothing, and it will be a peaceful and happy life.
Yuan Kejie frowned and said seriously: "Where did you hear the news, is it reliable?"
"The source of the news is something I have experienced in a 'game' before. Because it involves the content of the 'game', too many words will be harmonized by the 'rules', so it is inconvenient to explain the specific source. As for whether it is reliable—" Song Gui paused and looked at a few people, "I don't know if you have tried this method, in other words, even if someone tried it and succeeded, the successful person who has returned to another world cannot share it with us." The joy and experience of success, so whether it is reliable, we need to try it to know.”
Luo Qi raised her eyebrows: "So, what is the method?"
Song Gui glanced at his surroundings and said, "Do you still remember the law of this illusion?"
How could this be forgotten.
Yuan Kejie replied: "At the same time every day, the door of the illusion opens, leading to a different world."
"That's right," Song Gui said, "every twenty-four hours is a cycle, the door leading to the illusion will appear automatically, and the time that people can stay in the illusion is determined by the remaining time on the bracelet. Need to go back to their respective blank rooms. Then if the time on our wristband exceeds 24 hours, that is to say, we also stay in the illusion for 24 hours, until the moment when the illusion cycle changes , what will happen, have you thought about it?"
Several people were lost in thought.
Lu Chu thought about it, and replied: "This is a node, and it is also a breakthrough point."
"Yes," Song Guidao, "at this point, there is a possibility of breaking free."
