"Draw the cards again?" Zhou Yue's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something interesting, "Shuffle the cards? Does that mean that I also have a chance to draw the Death Card? And then change my identity to become a killer?"
"Well...maybe it's possible? I'm not sure..." The young Mu Qin said something meaningful, and he smiled at Zhou Yue: "This game is a special two-player game. The rules are different from the five-player game. It's the same, I only know that players in a two-player game can draw two main cards, and can also bring in a main card from the outside."
"Both players participating in a two-player game will have most of their memory cleaned, but they will retain a basic understanding of the rules of the game... so you can know what kind of game it is, as well as the effects and usage methods of these main cards."
"I'm very curious." After the young Mu Qin gave a rough explanation, Zhou Yue narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "As an NPC, you know too much, don't you?"
Faced with Zhou Yue's question, the young Mu Qin rolled his eyes, and quickly thought of how to respond: "There is no way, the strength of people and ghosts in a two-player game is quite unbalanced, and the possibility of human death is very high, so there is a possibility of death." It is very necessary for me to have an npc who knows the rules and can help you."
"I don't trust you." Zhou Yue shook his head, he looked at the young Mu Qin with increasingly cold eyes, full of subtle malice, "From the beginning to the end, you told me all this on your own, and expected me to You trust me to act according to your wishes unconditionally."
"How could this happen?" The young Muqin looked up at Zhou Yue innocently, "As an NPC, I can't influence the player's will. How you act and where you want to go in this game depends on you. Things to think for yourself."
"But I think you're trying to lure me." Zhou Yue's eyes became colder, "It's normal, I don't remember anything now, and it couldn't be easier for you to guide a person with amnesia in the wrong direction. "
"Zhou Yue..." The young Mu Qin sighed and looked helpless, "I know that because of amnesia, you are now full of vigilance and uneasy, you don't have to believe every word I said. , but I am indeed standing here to protect you."
As he said that, the young Mu Qin even reached out and touched the wound on his shoulder, and he looked at Zhou Yue with seemingly sincere eyes: "NPCs will protect the human side without reservation, so I can act as a meat shield for you, you can Desperately block the knife for you, just like just now, if the killer's knife just missed and stuck on my neck, then I would be dead now."
"If you don't even believe the person who sacrificed his life to save you, I have nothing to say."
The young Mu Qin's words were sincere and touching, and there seemed to be no problem. Zhou Yue was also speechless for a while. Zhou Yue shut up and remained silent for a while. Seeing the young Mu Qin's eyes seemed to be much softer. He seemed to have believed in the young Mu Qin. if.
But in fact, Zhou Yue's suspicion is very serious.
At this moment, he discovered a problem - if the "backtracking" ability mentioned by the boy Mu Qin is true, then for the boy, death is no longer something that needs to be avoided... It can even be something that must happen, or even take the initiative. make it happen.
Therefore, even if the young Mu Qin sacrificed his life to save Zhou Yue, he may not have the true purpose of protecting Zhou Yue.
He might just want to keep restarting this closed little world.
At this time, the question arises, what is the benefit to the boy who is an npc by constantly restarting the game
Reshuffle? Lost memory? Return to zero
And there is another important thing... This young npc said a word before, he said: "Restarting means... your memory and the income you get in the game will be cleared, and you will draw cards again.",
But what the young Mu Qin said, Zhou Yue felt that there was some subtle ambiguity when he heard it, because the young man only said that "Zhou Yue" would be erased from his memory, etc., but he didn't say anything about himself or the killer.
In general, shouldn't it be said: "Our memory and the proceeds from the game will be wiped."
Or: "Everyone's memory and game earnings will be cleared."
But he didn't, he just emphasized that Zhou Yue's memory would be erased, maybe to intimidate Zhou Yue or make Zhou Yue pay attention to this matter. But in saying that, it's as if he, or the killer, hadn't had much influence in the matter.
Moreover, the tone of the young Mu Qin's words even gave Zhou Yue an illusion that he was the only one who would lose his memory repeatedly during the "backtracking" process of this game, while everyone else was safe and sound.
Things became more and more complicated in Zhou Yue's thinking, and he hadn't sorted out the messy thoughts yet. At this time, the young Mu Qin saw that Zhou Yue had remained silent, so he suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
The Npc said: "No matter what, you have to survive in this game and escape from this school alive... So, have you figured out how to go and how to do it?"
At this stage, it is better to show cooperation and pretend to trust, so that this so-called npc can relax its vigilance. Thinking this way, Zhou Yue replied in a muffled voice: "Let's go to the school gate to have a look later, maybe there will be some clues."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yue unconsciously lowered her head and rubbed her arm.
There was a scar on Zhou Yue's arm that the disfigured man had scratched with a knife. The bone was deep enough to see the bone, and there was a lot of blood. Zhou Yue simply bandaged himself with a cloth strip. Maybe the body's self-healing ability is working, and the skin of the wound is slightly itchy.
The injury seemed serious, but Zhou Yue knew very well that it was the result of the other party's mercy.
When he confronted the disfigured man at that time, the distance between the two of them was very close. With the power of a killer, he swung his knife over, let alone leaving such a scar. It was easy to chop off Zhou Yue's arm, but the disfigured man The man withdrew his strength at the last moment, leaving only this scar on Zhou Yue's arm.
Also, when we first met the disfigured man, the disfigured man stabbed Zhou Yue's face with a knife, but the young Mu Qin rushed up to block the knife. , Zhou Yue found that the wound on his shoulder was shallower than he imagined.
The supposedly cruel and cold-blooded killer has always been merciful to Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue believes that there must be a relationship between himself and the killer.
So... who could he be? My loved ones? friend? Even a lover
The possibility of a lover is high.
Without showing any extra emotions, Zhou Yue then took the young Mu Qin out of the sporting goods storage room on the playground. During this period, Zhou Yue observed the movement outside for a long time through the window, and found that the disfigured man hadn't caught up for a long time.
Then Zhou Yue went to the gate of this school, trying to search for clues to escape from the map.
Much of the school’s campus was in darkness, but there were dimly lit rooms or two in some of the teaching and office buildings, and a few streetlights lit the sidewalks around the playground.
The sky above the head was cloudy and cloudy, and there were no stars or the moon. The surroundings were quiet, without the slightest sound of insects and birds, and the cool and humid wind was blowing in the air, which seemed to be a harbinger of the coming storm.
When Zhou Yue led the young Mu Qin to the school gate cautiously, there was indeed a torrential rain, and within a few minutes, Zhou Yue and the young Mu Qin were drenched. Care about that.
Zhou Yue looked around the school gate, and he and the young Mu Qin were at the front gate of the school. The front door of the school was a huge iron gate, locked with a strong lock. This iron gate is like the railings of a prison. It is composed of long iron bars. There are spikes on the top of the iron gate to prevent people from climbing.
There is also a security room next to the gate, but the security room is also locked. Zhou Yue tried to push, but couldn't.
He also observed the windows of the security room, but the windows were equipped with anti-theft facilities, and the outer windows were covered with iron bars.
Although it is impossible to enter the security room, there is a small blackboard on the wall outside the security room, on which the school's access control time, holiday leaving time, and a list of students' lost items are written.
The messages show the school's front doors will open at 5am and lock at 11.30pm. The person in charge of the door lock key should be the security guard in the security room.
Zhou Yue looked outside the window of the security room for a long time, and vaguely saw a table and a chair in the security room, as well as a row of lattice cabinets for storing items.
There are compartments for lost or stored items, wallets, keys, backpacks, books and more - there's even a dedicated locker for couriers.
These things are various, almost filling every grid on the cabinet. When Zhou Yue saw these things outside the window, he intuitively felt that there might be some clues that could help him.
But before getting these clues, he must first find a way to enter the locked security room... Fortunately, this problem didn't bother Zhou Yue for a long time, and he quickly found a solution.
Zhou Yue found a note in the gap at the bottom of the anti-theft door of the security room. It may have been written by someone, and then tried to stuff it into the security room along the bottom of the security door, but left a corner outside.
So Zhou Yue took the note out, unfolded it, and found that there was such a line written in delicate handwriting on the note: "Uncle Yan, when I came to return the key, I found that you were not there, so I hid the key in The old place, thank you all the time."
This line of words made Zhou Yue come to a conclusion in an instant... A student borrowed the key of the security guard at the school gate for unknown reasons.
But what key had he borrowed? The school gate key? The key to the security room door? Or some other portkey
In any case, find the key first. Thinking of this, Zhou Yue began to wander around the potted flower beds near the security room. He guessed that the old place mentioned in the student's note should not be far from the security room. The little corner that stands out is really a good place to hide your keys.
