"Here... where is it?"
In a simple but elegant European bedroom, on the white sheets, a young man in his early 20s opened his eyes in confusion. The blankness in his mind and the sudden flood of information made him a little dazed for a while.
Player No. 3, Suspense Game, Preliminaries... What are these
After a while, the blurred eyes of the young man—Player No. 3 gradually cleared up, and the chaotic information gradually became clear. However, after starting to think, No. 3 gradually became infected with new doubts.
After waking up, the rules and other information of the Suspended Life Game automatically appeared in the mind of player No. 3: "Congratulations, you have been selected by the Suspended Life Game and qualified as a preliminary contestant!" '
'You are the No. 3 player in the preliminaries of this round. The winners of the preliminaries will be able to successfully qualify for the official competition, the losers will be punished, and those who violate the rules, those who do not play the game, will be directly erased! Please read the specific game rules of this game on your mobile phone, everyone can only read and operate their own mobile phone'
"Mobile phone..." No. 3 found a palm-sized silver-white tablet from under the pillow. The front is a smooth screen, and the material of the screen cannot be seen. The back is silvery white throughout, with an obvious embossed number "3" in the center.
"It's really a mobile phone." No. 3's slender fingers quickly opened this special mobile phone. The screen of the mobile phone lights up when touched, but there are only 3 icons on the screen, which are written from left to right: "Game Rules" , Player State, and Identity Execution.
No. 3 clicked on the game rules, and an elegant thin black body appeared on the screen immediately:
'The preparatory mode of this round is "Please close your eyes when it gets dark, the primary version of the game". As a preparatory game, players have more room to survive'
'A total of 12 players, 3 policemen, 3 killers, and the rest of the players are civilians. The specific game rules will be announced after the identity card is issued'
Scroll down on the 3rd to see the detailed game schedule:
8:00 p.m. on the first day is the time for the system to issue identities. After 8:00 p.m., no player can go out. From then on, it enters the night time at 9:00 every night. After entering the night, except for the special characters within the specified time, they can go out to discuss actions together, and other players are not allowed to go out.
Every morning at 6:00, the death of the players last night will be announced. At 9:00, all players must go to the game hall next to the stairs on the first floor for a daily discussion meeting, and vote for a killer. The specific voting rules will be discussed in Announced during the first referendum one morning.
Then scrolling down, the font on the next page changed significantly, from elegant thin black to blood red bold italic:
'Anyone is forbidden to cheat! Including but not limited to sharing identities, talking about game content outside of discussion meetings'
'No one is allowed to violently hurt other players'
'Anyone who violates the rules of the game will be wiped out'
This is the last page of the rules.
Number 3 put down the phone and fell into deep thought.
Although the detailed rules of the game have not been announced yet, judging from the current clues, this is the so-called "preliminary game of hanging life" rules, which are very common rules of the game, please close your eyes when it gets dark.
Please close your eyes when it gets dark is also a relatively common game in the real world. Even if you don’t know how to play it, you should have heard of it. It not only tests the player’s logical reasoning ability, language provocative ability, and observation ability, but also understands specific analysis of specific situations , Different players have different personalities, and their reactions when they get the identity cards are also different, so they cannot be generalized.
Since the "primary version of the game, please close your eyes when it gets dark" is directly mentioned here, there will definitely be "intermediate version", "advanced version", and even other more complicated versions later, such as a multi-role werewolf killing game.
Thinking of this, No. 3 probably has some considerations about the current situation.
The "preliminary round" should be equivalent to a preliminaries. The players in the preliminaries are not considered official players. Apart from the game rules of the preliminaries themselves, the players basically know nothing about the official Suspense game. After passing the preliminaries, they get After obtaining the qualifications of an official player, it is estimated that more information related to the Suspense game will be obtained.
No. 3 tried to click the other two icons, "Player Status" and "Identity Execution", but the icons did not respond, it seems that the game has not started yet and has not been activated.
"Then there is another question left..." No. 3's slightly frowning brows stretched out, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but it was a bit of a wry smile, "Who am I?"
After waking up and going through the initial chaos, No. 3's brain and thoughts became clearer and clearer. It can almost be said that he was in a good state, but he couldn't remember anything about himself.
It is effortless to think about other issues, such as please close your eyes when it gets dark, various versions of the game rules, such as other common sense of life, such as the use of mobile phones. But once he thinks about his name, how old he is this year, and what year this year is, No. 3's brain goes blank.
"Could it be... because of being selected into the game of Suspenseful Life?" No. 3 was thoughtful.
The "Game of Suspended Life" is obviously a supernatural existence that subverts common sense, because the majesty and unchallenge of the Game of Suspended Life has become a part of the subconscious after waking up on the 3rd, making people unable to doubt its existence and power from the bottom of my heart. Although the possibility of a conspiracy by high-tech forces cannot be ruled out intellectually, No. 3 has actually believed in the surreal and unchallengeable game of Suspended Life in his heart.
In this case, every player who may be selected for the qualifiers will lose their memory, but they will not lose their common sense. Maybe the system requires players to play the game without self-awareness, and after winning the game, they can Restore your memory.
According to this way of thinking, I don't know whether to win the preliminaries is eligible to restore the memory, or to win the final victory of the Suspended Life game to find the forgotten self
Thinking of this, No. 3 shook his head and stopped thinking about it. I looked at the time in the lower right corner of the phone screen, and it was 5:23 pm, less than 3 hours before the ID card was issued. There was a smile on the corner of No. 3's lips. Now it's time to go out to meet other players and learn about this European-style building.
Looking at this room alone, it is a bit like the structure of a hotel-a large bedroom with a bathroom. The whole bedroom is European-style in brown tone, the dark brown bed is covered with white sheets and quilts, the walls are light brown, and the floor seems to be wooden.
Pushing open the bathroom door, No. 3 looked up and down. The color of the washroom is mainly brown, supplemented by white. The washroom is large, with a bathtub, shower, washstand, and flush toilet. If it weren’t for the weird lack of a window in the whole room, it would almost make people think that this is a luxury resort.
No. 3 walked to the front of the sink, the huge vanity mirror reflected an ordinary and thin face under the orange warm light, even through the filter of the light, he could still see his pale face.
Trying to do a few movements, watching the expression of the person in the mirror gradually become vivid, No. 3 finally couldn't help laughing "puchi", looking at the strange self in the mirror, he really felt a little kind.
Then No. 3 noticed that he was wearing what seemed to be a European-style uniform, a white shirt, dark trousers, and a silver metal number "3" on the chest of the shirt. It seems that the clothes are prepared by the game system, and it is impossible to judge one's identity through the clothes.
Open the door and come to the corridor. The style of the corridor is exactly the same as that of the bedroom, but it is obviously different from the bedroom. There is a row of huge windows in the corridor. The windows are completely closed. Outside the windows is a darkness that swallows everything, which makes people feel daunted. .
At the other end of the corridor, there was another person standing in front of the window, who seemed to be staring at the blackness outside the window in a daze.
The light in the corridor was dim, and No. 3 couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he seemed to be a young man as well.
Hearing the sound, the young man at the other end of the corridor turned his head, and his body was visibly shaken. Before No. 3 could react, he had already rushed in front of No. 3, holding No. 3's shoulders tightly with both hands: " Shen Mu! You, why are you here! You, you survived?!"
No. 3—Shen Mu noticed the silver number "9" on his chest. The information in No. 9's words shocked Shen Mu even more, and he blurted out: "You...you know me?"
After getting close to No. 9, Shen Mu found that No. 3 was about the same age as himself, and his face was very haggard. I don't know if it was the impact of being pulled into the game of suspending life, or his mental state was not good.
When No. 9 heard Shen Mu's question, he was stunned for a moment, his urgent eyes became dull, and he didn't speak for a while.
Seeing No. 9's reaction, it was related to himself. Although Shen Mu felt that it was not a good choice to actively expose too much of his own state, he knew nothing about it now, and the speculation about memory just now had been overturned—obviously No. 9 had not lost Memory, so I still asked: "Excuse me, who are you? Do you know where this is?"
Hearing that No. 9 was startled, the hands holding Shen Mu's shoulders were also tightened, and the grip on Shen Mu's shoulders was painful, his eyes changed from dull to incredulous: "You don't know me anymore? I'm Liu Bo! We... Some time ago, you were still taking...classes...with Professor Niu...?"
Speaking of the latter, Liu Bo's voice on the 9th became smaller and smaller, gradually becoming inaudible, and he seemed to be in a daze.
Professor Niu? Shen Mu keenly grasped the key words.
Professor Niu... so familiar, is it Professor Niu from the famous network management center
Professor Niu's Internet Disciplinary Center has emerged in recent years. Meiyan helps young Internet addicts quit Internet addiction through scientific and reasonable methods, and fall in love with learning and real life again. However, there have been rumors that Professor Niu has been using violent methods such as electric shock and corporal punishment to abuse students. Although after the reporter's investigation he had rectified Professor Niu's name and allowed Professor Niu to regain the trust of his parents, Shen Mu absolutely did not believe that Professor Niu was "innocent".
Liu Bo's mood was obviously very unstable, and Shen Mu spoke softly to comfort him: "I just woke up, and only the rules of the game of suspending life are in my mind, but I can't remember who I am at all. To tell you the truth, I At first, I thought it was the rules of the Suspended Life game that made the players lose their memory, but now it seems..." Shen Mu shook his head helplessly, "Liu Bo, can you tell me something about me?"
Hearing what Shen Mu said, Liu Bo seemed to have calmed down, let go of Shen Mu's hands, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and finally showed a wry smile that was not a smile: "The matter of your amnesia should have nothing to do with this ghost game. .”
