The disfigured man approached Zhou Yue and the young Mu Qin slowly. His speed was very slow at the beginning, but he gradually accelerated halfway through, and he almost ran fast at the end.
The disfigured man stabbed at Zhou Yue and Zhou Yue with his sharp blade. His aura was too fierce and his speed was too fast. !
Interestingly, the disfigured man's primary target was not Zhou Yue, but Mu Qin, a young man next to Zhou Yue.
The disfigured man ran up to the young Mu Qin in an instant, pointing the knife at the young man's heart, intending to take his life directly, the murderous intent revealed in his eyes and movements made people get goosebumps all over his body.
Zhou Yue also took action at that moment. He grabbed the young Mu Qin's arm and pulled him back quickly to avoid the killer's head-on blow. Zhou Yue even clenched the boy's arm tightly, and threw the boy back like a sandbag.
The young Mu Qin was too slender and light, so it was not difficult for Zhou Yue to throw him out.
It's just that Zhou Yue didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so he threw the young man out with great force, causing the young Mu Qin's body to fly slightly into the air and then fell heavily on the ground. He fell dizzy and rolled several times.
Seeing that his prey was thrown out by Zhou Yue, the disfigured man strode past Zhou Yue and wanted to chase after him. Of course Zhou Yue couldn't let him succeed, so he stretched out his arms and threw the disfigured man down!
The disfigured man was thrown from the side by Zhou Yue. He was caught off guard and could only lie on his side on the ground. Zhou Yue pressed on top of him, immediately held down the wrist of the disfigured man holding the knife, and tried to pull the knife out of the way. He snatched it from his hand.
Dare to take the knife from the killer's hand, such a bold act is rare in the world.
So Zhou Yue failed of course.
The disfigured man's grasp of this short knife was obviously far beyond Zhou Yue's imagination. When Zhou Yue controlled the right hand holding the knife, the killer instantly used his skill to throw the knife in the air, and the knife was thrown high In midair, draw a perfect parabola.
Before Zhou Yue raised his hand to catch the thrown knife, the disfigured man raised his unaccused left hand, caught the blade, and immediately slashed at Zhou Yue's face, Zhou Yue I had no choice but to instinctively raise my right hand to protect it. The knife failed to scratch his face, but cut a deep bone scar on his right arm.
In Zhou Yue's eyes, this man with a dimpled face and an unrecognizable face was really a wonderful person.
Zhou Yue doesn't dislike his completely destroyed appearance at all. He doesn't think he's ugly or even beautiful, and he has a pleasant smell that Zhou Yue likes. His hands are also beautiful, and he has a well-proportioned body shape. Let Zhou Yue have the desire to hug...
As if possessed by a demon, Zhou Yue thought that he must have been brainwashed by some strange thing, so much so that he actually felt that...he liked every part of this disfigured man's body, even madly.
But such a beautiful person has sharp thorns, Zhou Yue will be stabbed with blood as long as he gets close. He knew that no matter how much he liked, he had to save his life to get it, and he couldn't foolishly jump into the flame like a moth, even though he really wanted to just jump towards the hot flame like this.
However, the instinct of self-preservation prevailed. After being stabbed by the disfigured man, Zhou Yue had no choice but to back away and distance himself from him. Immediately after taking a deep look at the disfigured man, Zhou Yue picked up the young Mu Qin who had just got up from the ground, turned around and ran with him, and quickly went downstairs to avoid the killer's pursuit.
After they ran downstairs, the disfigured man also got up from the ground, and looked down at the blood on his blade.
The abnormally sharp blade was stained with Zhou Yue's blood, and it could still vaguely reflect the ugly face of the disfigured man.
He was robbed of his appearance, as well as his voice.
Not being able to speak means not being able to tell Zhou Yue the truth, especially when Zhou Yue has no memory at all, the situation will become even worse.
Quite sinister.
Put an end to the opportunity to communicate with Zhou Yue, put on a face of Mu Qin's youth to sow discord, intensify the conflict between the two sides, kill each other, and even more shamelessly directly create a "backtracking" skill - just to prevent things from going You can start over when you get out of control.
To a certain extent, the birth of this backtracking skill is precisely because the Faceless Man was intimidated by Mu Qin's "ruthless" speech before the game started. The Faceless Man was afraid that Mu Qin would really cross the river and destroy the bridge. Do two things endlessly, kill Zhou Yue directly in this game, and escape from the marginal world by yourself to be happy.
In order to prevent this from happening, the Faceless Talent specially developed the backtracking skill... just to save Zhou Yue's life. Kill yourself immediately to restart the game.
The effect of this "backtracking" skill is probably similar to that of restarting after death in many stand-alone games. It's just that Mu Qin can guess... no, he can even confirm it without even thinking about it. If the game is really played again, Zhou Yue's memory will be washed out again, and Zhou Yue's memory will be cleared over and over again at the beginning of the game.
If this game is repeated many times, then every time the memory is cleared, it is very likely to cause mental and even soul damage to Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue can still remember that his name is Zhou Yue. If the game is repeated several times, he may not even know whether he is a human or a ghost. He may go crazy and become an idiot.
Zhou Yue whose memory has been washed thoroughly is also easier to control, but if Mu Qin is a little soft-hearted, he will not let Zhou Yue suffer endlessly like this.
Mu Qin is not worried that his memory will also be erased. The faceless man has no way to spy on Mu Qin's thoughts... Mu Qin's existence is very special, different from other people. This particularity also prevents the Faceless Man from interfering with Mu Qin the way he interferes with others. Not to mention clearing Mu Qin's memory like Zhou Yue's memory was cleared.
Therefore, this game is not so much a game between Zhou Yue and Mu Qin as it is a confrontation between Mu Qin and the Faceless Man.
Because Zhou Yue has long been reduced to a puppet of the Faceless Man.
Thinking of this, Mu Qin used the blade in his hand as a mirror, and looked at his ugly face that could not be seen at all. He would not be sad because his appearance was destroyed, but he was a little embarrassed by the predicament he was facing.
What should I do
What can I do to save my loved one
But I actually understand it in my heart, Mu Qin understands it very well.
If he wants to save Zhou Yue, he just needs to lose the game, and let Zhou Yue escape smoothly, so that Zhou Yue can leave the marginal world forever and no longer be bound by the power of the Faceless Man... The price for this is that Mu Qin must stay here instead of him.
But it's better than letting Zhou Yue keep losing her memory, start over, and turn into an idiot in this terrible cycle of reincarnation, isn't it
Mu Qin loved him so much that he even became timid.
Fear of all the people or things that will separate the two of them, thinking that if the other party cannot be by his side, he will have no desire to live.
Without Zhou Yue, it would be like living in hell.
No, he's already in hell.
…
Zhou Yue took the boy Mu Qin to temporarily hide in the sports equipment storage room on the school playground.
This storage room is quite large, and there are two doors that can be opened at the front and back, and there are a lot of various equipment and sundries in the storage room, which can form obstacles. If the killer finds it, you can go around with him here.
Zhou Yue, who was considerate in all aspects, also deliberately moved the equipment in the storage room, sorted out a smooth path, and arranged some small mechanisms, such as being able to push down certain debris to hinder the killer when being chased by the killer.
After Zhou Yue dealt with these things, he had time to look at the young Mu Qin who had been silent since just now. The young Mu Qin was sitting on a soft cushion with his head lowered as if he was thinking about something.
Zhou Yue looked at the young Mu Qin without any trace for a long time, and then said suddenly: "You really don't look like an NPC."
Zhou Yue's sudden words stunned the young Mu Qin for a moment, he recovered from his own thoughts, and looked at Zhou Yue with the corner of his mouth curled up: "I am an npc."
"Really?" Zhou Yue lifted a barbell that had collapsed on the ground and moved it to a corner, then he straightened up and patted the dust on his hands, "If you are an npc, why do you have to turn into 'Mu Qin' to deceive me?"
"It can't be my fault." The young Mu Qin said nonsense, "My image is determined by the system. The system insists on me wearing this face. Do I have any other choice?"
"You don't look like you have no choice." Zhou Yue thought for a moment, and looked at the young Mu Qin with probing eyes, "And that killer just now... Do you know him?"
Zhou Yue's question made the young man stunned for a moment, his face was subtly silent, and he said in a low voice, "Why do you think I know him?"
"Because his killing intent was aimed at you." Zhou Yue looked at the boy intently, "He was obviously irritated, and you were irritated, so he tried to attack you and kill you at the first time, but I think I don't understand why he is irritated, because of what you said? Something you did? What is the relationship between you and him?"
"You think too much." The young Mu Qin kept smiling. "He is a killer. He will try to attack and kill others at any time... Maybe he thinks I am an obstacle, so he wants to get rid of me first and then you?"
"After hearing that the game will restart after you die, you still try to kill you?" Zhou Yue smiled sarcastically, "Then this killer is really a bit stupid."
"Maybe he wants to try it out, to see if the game can really restart after I die?" The young Mu Qin spread his hands with an innocent expression on his face, "After all, you have to try some things before you know the result."
Zhou Yue didn't answer, he was still staring at the young man Mu Qin, as if trying to get a clue from his face. After looking at it for a long time, Zhou Yue said, "You are hiding something from me."
"You should see a doctor for your paranoia." Mu Qin, a young man, acted complacently.
Zhou Yue sneered and said, "If I can still see the doctor."
The young Mu Qin fell silent.
And Zhou Yue continued: "I don't want to talk too much nonsense with you, tell me what is your 'backtracking' ability?"
"Didn't I say that? After my death, the game will start again."
"What kind of restart method?" Zhou Yue asked, "It's just that we return to the birth point, will it be reopened?"
"No, restarting means..." The young man paused, "Your memory and the benefits you get in the game will be cleared, and you will draw cards again."
