Then without waiting for Shen Mu to ask again, Liu Bo told the story: "We are all students of Professor Niu's network management center. For some reason, Professor Niu was in a bad mood that day. You hit the muzzle of Professor Niu's gun. The professor is angry and wants to drag you to the electric shock room for 'classes'." At this point, Liu Bo suddenly fell silent, his voice disappeared suddenly like a stone sinking into the bottom of the water.
But Liu Bo quickly continued: "He...Xu Wenhao helped you talk, and was dragged to the electric shock room by Professor Niu. After a while, we heard that something happened, and you and Xu Wenhao were also sent to the hospital. Xu Wenhao, he..."
Speaking of this, Liu Bo's eyes seemed to be red, but he didn't stop, and continued, "Xu Wenhao's rescue failed, he... died. You, Shen Mu, are still under observation. Although he didn't die, he didn't wake up either. "
Speaking of this, Liu Bo smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, it happened just a week ago. Xu Wenhao's family had some power, but Professor Niu couldn't suppress it, and the shady scenes in the Internet Center were naturally exposed, and we all came out, but I didn't expect to enter this life-sustaining game just after I came out, probably the sky wants me to die!" After saying this, Liu Bo's face revealed a somewhat gloomy look of death.
Hearing the truth of the matter, Shen Mu had mixed feelings in his heart. Such a reason for amnesia was completely beyond his expectation.
It seems that my amnesia has something to do with Professor Niu's excessive electric stimulation... Shen Mu was a little lost, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: What is the basis for the system of this life-hanging game to choose players? Is it drawn immediately... How come even a seriously injured and comatose patient has to become a contestant.
Liu Bo seemed to be in a bad mood, looking at Shen Mu with complicated emotions in his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Shen Mu could vaguely sense that this had something to do with another victim, Xu Wenhao. After thinking about it for a while, he comforted Liu Bo: "Liu Bo, don't panic. I have also carefully read the rules of the game, and they are not too strict. , especially the good people side, where there are more people and less difficulty.”
After a pause, Shen Mu said again: "And... you can also feel it, this so-called hanging game should have supernatural power."
"Yes." Liu Bo answered quickly, "One second I was walking on the street, and the next second I appeared on the bed in the room, with a lot of news about this game in my mind. With the current technology It is absolutely impossible!" At the end of the speech, Liu Bo became faintly excited again.
It turned out that they entered the game awake. Shen Mu continued calmly: "So, maybe after winning the game, it is possible to realize a wish that cannot be fulfilled by real power? Of course, these are all speculations, and it may just be an ordinary return..."
Before Shen Mu finished speaking, Liu Bo slammed his fist on the hard window next to him, making a heavy noise: "Yes, yes! It's said in the novel!" Liu Bo gasped excitedly: "It must be so Yes! The victor can fulfill his wish, or gain superpowers!" The look in Shen Mu's eyes also changed: "Good brother, thank you!"
Shen Mu smiled and said: "It's nothing, you can guess it yourself when you calm down. It's probably because I lost my memory and I have nothing to worry about, so my thinking is relatively clear. But what kind of existence is the Suspended Life Game, I think it can only be passed Only this preparatory match is eligible to know."
Liu Bo had thoughts in his heart, and his mood was much better than before. Seeing Shen Mu mentioning his amnesia, his mood was a little depressed, and he took the initiative to comfort Shen Mu: "Don't worry too much, when you win, you can make a wish to restore yourself memories. But recovering memories may not be... Forget it, it’s not up to me to make decisions about your affairs.”
Liu Bo's words were vague and Shen Mu didn't pay too much attention. Seeing that Liu Bo's mood was much better, Shen Mu asked casually: "By the way, brother, do you know how long I stayed in Professor Niu's network management office?"
Liu Bo replied quickly: "You came here in July, about three months. By the way, it is the beginning of November 2019."
"In this case," Shen Mu asked the real question in his heart, "I didn't just come to Professor Niu's network management center recently, I should already know Professor Niu's rules well, and I wouldn't commit any taboos by looking for trouble. Why did I suddenly let Professor Niu down?" Such a dead hand?"
Liu Bo's eyes flickered, and he was a little uncomfortable. Seeing Shen Mu's resolute expression, he seemed to feel that things about Shen Mu himself should be spoken out. Professor Niu taught you to "cure diseases". After your "disease" was cured, Professor Niu stopped staring at you. This time, for some unknown reason, Professor Niu suddenly stared at you again, saying that someone was lying to him. Made him very angry, pretending that he was cured of his disease, but in fact... "
Liu Bo didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear.
Shen Mu's heart trembled: there must be a demon if something goes wrong.
Liu Bo's voice lowered: "Then...he...Xu Wenhao actually stood up and publicly challenged Professor Niu, saying that homosexuality is not a disease." Liu Bo's voice was like laughing and crying, "That idiot, can he resist Professor Niu? ?!"
Shen Mu already knew the final result, and felt a heavy weight in his heart. Liu Bo's voice sounded again: "Don't think too much, you and Xu Wenhao are not familiar at all, Xu Wenhao is my roommate, he is a straight man of steel, he stood up purely because of his sense of justice in his heart, that's how he is Man, I have stayed with Professor Niu for a month, and my heart has not changed at all. I thought... I should have... "
Liu Bo's voice became lower and lower until it was as soft as a whisper, inaudible.
Xu Wenhao is a straight man, what about you
Shen Mu understood a little in his heart, and didn't ask any further questions.
Seeing that Shen Mu didn't seem to react much, Liu Bo hesitated: "Don't you have anything to ask?"
Shen Mu shook his head: "No matter what it is, I am very grateful to Xu Wenhao for his willingness to help me and speak for the homosexual group. He is a brave person, and I admire him very much."
It is irrational to openly resist Professor Niu under Professor Niu's dictatorship, and there will be no good results except for physical and even mental torture. But if you can compromise everything because you are afraid of torture, then even if you get out alive, even if you are not a walking dead in the end, I am afraid that it will be difficult to bring up the courage in your heart for the rest of your life.
But probably no one thought that Professor Niu's attack was out of balance. Xu Wenhao, who resisted fiercely, was shocked to death by electric shock, and Shen Mu, who was "seriously ill", was also seriously injured and unconscious.
Shen Mu's answer made Liu Bo's expression even more tangled, and after hesitant to speak a few times, he still asked: "...you... don't you have any thoughts about being gay?"
"No." Shen Mu replied simply.
Seeing that Liu Bo's expression became more complicated, Shen Mu thought for a while and added, "Sexual orientation is innate, yes or yes, no or no, there is nothing to tangle with."
Seeing that Liu Bo's eyebrows were still furrowed, Shen Mu patted Liu Bo's shoulder: "Okay, now is not the time to think about these things. Have you ever thought that among the 12 players, you and I are both Professor Niu?" From the network administrator, will the remaining 10 players also be students of Professor Niu?"
"Yes, it's possible!" Liu Bo was shocked, "Come on, let's go downstairs and have a look!"
"By the way, Liu Bo," Shen Mu said on the way downstairs, "Thank you for telling me about the past, I want to ask you one thing. Can I not mention my amnesia to others?"
"Success." Liu Bo quickly agreed without asking any further questions.
The rooms of Shen Mu and Liu Bo are both on the second floor. There are four rooms and a restaurant on the second floor. Shen Mu's room is next to the stairs, that is, the outermost room of the building, and Liu Bo's room is next to Shen Mu's. There is a silver house number on each room, and there are two rooms, No. 11 next to Liu Bo and No. 10 next to the restaurant. After the restaurant is the other end of the second floor, and there are also stairs leading upstairs and downstairs.
After a brief understanding of the entire structure, Shen Mu and Liu Bo went downstairs from the corridor next to the restaurant to the first floor, which is the game hall mentioned in the game rules.
The tone of the game hall is white, but the lighting is darker yellow, giving people a depressing feeling. There is a big round table and 12 round stools in the center of the hall. Each position has an obvious silver number embossed on the table, and the number exudes a soft silver light, which seems to imply that the player's status is "surviving".
There are two big soft sofas around the hall, and sure enough, some players have already arrived first.
There are 5 people in total, all of whom are relatively young in age, three men and two women.
A girl with a short ponytail, although sitting, has a look of eagerness, seems to be a high school student;
A girl with maroon curly hair that is permed over the shoulder, looks a bit reserved, seems to be a college student;
A tall and strong boy, he looks very fit and handsome;
A boy standing next to a girl with a short ponytail is a few years older than her, and the two seem to be relatively close;
The last young man was older, about 30 years old, and seemed to be working.
Seeing Shen and Liu walking in, the five of them stopped talking and looked at the two newcomers, their eyes lingering on their faces and badges for a moment. The tall and strong boy was the first to welcome him: "Hello, I am contestant No. 4, Young."
No. 4? It is next to my speaking order. Shen Mu paid special attention to Yang Ge, but happened to meet Yang Ge's gaze. The other party's gaze swept across the "3" on Shen Mu's chest, and then introduced others: "This is Jiang Shuyi, a primary school girl from C City Technology and Business University." .”
"Hi, hello!" No. 2 Jiang Shuyi, a girl with maroon curly hair, greeted nervously, her eyes still a little red.
"This is Brother Zhang Ji."
The older young man Zhang Ji nodded: "He runs a fried chicken shop. The milk tea shop opened by my wife next door, sometimes people come to play board games at night. Please close your eyes when it gets dark. One day will enter the live-action version of Darkness, please close your eyes."
Sitting on the sofa, the girl with short ponytail who looked like a high school student stood up and introduced herself: "My name is Li Fengmei, I am 17 years old, a sophomore in high school. This is my brother Li Xuesong, who is 5 years older than me." She smiled and turned her head to the side and stood Then said, "Please close your eyes and play with your roommate in the dark, I hope we can all get the good man card, win together and live!"
Li Fengmei, Li Xuesong... good names.
The confident aura of the young girl Li Fengmei made the atmosphere a little more lively. Yang Ge glanced at Li Fengmei appreciatively and nodded in agreement: "Yes, a good person wins. Nine people have the hope of surviving. I hope we can all get the status of a good person." Card!"
Jiang Shuyi was not moved by the atmosphere, and her mood was even lower than before: "But, if you draw a killer, you are basically dead... Even, even if you draw a good guy, the rules of the game may not be the same as we used to play ah… "
"...and even... I don't know how to play at all..." Jiang Shuyi whispered.
"It's okay." On the contrary, Li Fengmei, who was younger, patted Jiang Shuyi's back next to her, "From the current point of view, it is very likely that it is the kind of game we often play, please close your eyes when it is dark. Even if it is not, it will soon You will know the rules of the game and don't put so much pressure on yourself."
"That's right," Shen Mu also interjected, "Looking at it, even if the rules change, it's still a logical speech game. And the rules also say that violent personal attacks are not allowed. Don't be too afraid. Only by keeping your emotions steady can you win .”
"Thank you, thank you..." Jiang Shuyi looked anxiously at the big round table where she spoke, as if she was comforted, and also seemed to be even more frightened.
Then Shen Mu and Liu Bo also introduced themselves, saying they were ordinary college students.
At this moment, Li Xuesong looked at his watch and said, "It's already 5:50, it's been 50 minutes since we came in, and the others haven't come over yet, should we go look for them?"
"How can it be so easy to accept..." Jiang Shuyi said unwillingly, but her tone was not strong.
Some people may not be able to accept that they are selected into the Suspended Life Game, but the surreal power displayed by the Suspended Life Game makes it impossible to question its power and rules.
"You said, did our bodies directly enter this space, or did our real bodies remain in reality?" Li Fengmei said thoughtfully.
Li Xuesong patted his sister on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "Now we know too little information, no matter what, let's pass this so-called preliminaries first!"
While everyone was talking, there were new footsteps at the door.
