Views:

The dim light flickered, and the light hit Mu Qin's slightly pale face. He looked at the instructions on the medicine bottle in his hand under the dim light. The font on the medicine bottle was too small and the light was too dim. Qin had to squint his eyes and concentrate on it, in order not to miss any effective information.

After Mu Qin eliminated these medicines one by one, he finally found the antipyretic medicine he wanted. This made Mu Qin overjoyed. He held the hard-won medicine bottle tightly and stuffed it into his pocket. Immediately afterwards, he When Mu Qin was about to put the other medicines in his hands back into the cabinet, Mu Qin suddenly heard footsteps outside the door of the infirmary.

The sound of stepping on the marble floor of the corridor outside the door.

Mu Qin is very nervous now, so nervous that the slightest sound will make his whole body shudder. One is that he was worried that Xu Fu might come back at any time. If Xu Fu injured his foot, there was a high chance that he would come to the infirmary to find medicine, so the gauze, bandages, alcohol, etc. that were taken from the medicine cabinet were probably taken away by Xu Fu. The highest, Mu Qin knew this, but he came anyway. He came to the infirmary not only to find antipyretics for Han Li, but also to confirm Xu Fu's location and injury.

It is best to test whether Mu Qin has a chance to subdue or trap the opponent when Xu Fu's legs and feet are injured.

Muchin believes that with his own speed, it is impossible to outrun a cripple.

But even with this confidence, Mu Qin still can't relax. He is very sensitive to the sound of footsteps. Because he has undergone strict training, Mu Qin will instinctively remember the footsteps of others, as long as it is someone he has come into contact with , the way these people walk, their physique, the size and weight of their steps, Mu Qin will have a general impression, so he remembers the footsteps of Qiu Zijia, Han Li, Cheng Guoxu and Xu Fu.

However, Mu Qin was horrified by the sudden sound of footsteps outside...he didn't recognize it!

Mu Qin's first reaction was to think: It's not Xu Fu... who is that person outside!

And the second reaction is to hide, and hiding is the best way to deal with sudden problems.

Mu Qin's body was superior to his mind and started to act, and he quickly found one of the few hiding places in this infirmary... There are curtains in the infirmary, which are used to separate the beds and protect the patients. The white movable curtains for patients' privacy, but most of the curtains are very worn out, so worn that the original white color can no longer be seen. The fabric is yellowed and stained with large black stains. on the ground.

Although the way of hiding behind the curtain is easy to see through, at least it can delay some reaction time for Mu Qin, and Mu Qin can also use this curtain to block the opponent... For example, use the curtain to cover the enemy's head, If the other party is hostile.

So Mu Qin took action. He put all the medicine bottles in his hand back into the medicine cabinet, and walked quietly to the back of the infirmary curtain without making any sound.

Then Mu Qin found that the curtain was not completely down to the ground, and there was a hollow under the curtain, which might not be able to cover Mu Qin's feet. Mu Qin had no choice but to back off as much as possible and hide in a corner. The lights in the infirmary were very dim , Behind the curtain was shrouded in pitch black shadows, Mu Qin wanted to use this darkness to hide himself.

Just after Mu Qin took a deep breath to take cover, Mu Qin heard footsteps outside getting closer to him. The other party might be wandering in the corridor on the first floor of the apartment building, just outside the infirmary. Qin realized that the strange footsteps were only a wall away from him.

This was the first time that Mu Qin felt nervous and panicked after leaving the army for several years. Even when facing Xu Fu's pursuit just now, Mu Qin didn't feel such panic.

Although he never showed this panic on his face.

Mu Qin was very puzzled, who is that person outside

According to what Xu Fu said, there should only be six people in this closed orphanage map, one killer and five players, and now two of them are dead... Although Mu Qin did not see Cheng Guoxu's death, he was sure he died.

But now, Qiu Zijia was following Mu Qin's instructions, carrying Han Li on his back and walking slowly along the wall at the edge of the courtyard. As for Xu Fu, Mu Qin wasn't sure where the other party was, but the footsteps outside Mu Qin didn't sound like Xu Fu's at all.

Xu Fu's footsteps are a little heavier, because Xu Fu is very tall, he is nearly 1.89 meters tall, with strong muscles and a strong physique, which also makes Xu Fu very heavy, and his weight is very heavy . Therefore, when he walks, his footsteps will be heavy, and he will make loud footsteps. He himself seems not very used to controlling the strength of his footsteps.

In particular, his leg was injured, so he must be limping when he walks. This limping sound is very easy to distinguish, even ordinary people can easily recognize it.

But now, Mu Qin heard that the footsteps of the person outside were normal, not limping, it was the pace of a normal person, and felt that his footsteps were very light, and the other person seemed to be deliberately controlling himself to walk slowly.

Who is it!

Mu Qin had countless possibilities in his mind. He didn't think that the person outside would be any of Xu Fu, Qiu Zijia or Han Li... Could it be that there is a seventh person in this orphanage? or…

Muchin thought of the dead body in the next stairwell.

Is it possible for the dead to come back from the dead

In the past, Mu Qin would not believe it. Of course he has seen death, he has seen others die, from a fresh life to a pile of rotten flesh, he is deeply convinced that the process of death is irreversible, once a person dies, he will never be resurrected.

But now, Mu Qin can't continue to be so confident about this. Because he knew that he was already dead, and the memory of his death still remained in his mind. He was hit to death by a truck, and the truck carrying tons of cargo ran over him directly, crushing him into a meatloaf. But now he is alive, not only alive, but also standing in this strange orphanage, being hunted down by a strange killer.

Such bizarre and terrifying things happened. So what's so strange about a dead man coming back to life

The point is, why can he be resurrected

Mu Qin subconsciously reached into his pocket. He still had the Fool's Tarot card in his pocket. He remembered that the Tarot cards were divided into major arcana and minor arcana. The major arcana has 22 cards in total. 0 to 21, from No. 0 Fool to the last No. 21 world. The Minor Arcana has four sets, scepters, chalices, swords, and coins, each with 14 cards, for a total of 56 cards.

In this killing game, the functions of the Tarot cards are the same as the prop cards in some games. Since it is a game, it is normal to have a resurrection card!

It's a pity that Mu Qin didn't think of this at all before, because he didn't know the specific rules of this killing game or the actual effect of the Tarot cards very well, and the only person who knew it was identified by Mu Qin as the killer.

It was too late to realize this now. Mu Qin heard footsteps outside and walked into the door of the infirmary, which proved that the other party was already standing inside the infirmary, maybe standing in front of the curtain that blocked Mu Qin. Mu Qin He couldn't help holding his breath, he didn't dare poke his head out to spy, so he could only listen to the sound silently to identify his position.

The sound disappeared for a while, and the unidentified person who entered the infirmary didn't seem to do anything, maybe just stood there quietly.

Mu Qin didn't move. He covered his mouth and nose and waited patiently. At the same time, he stared at the curtain in front of him tightly. The curtain covers the opponent's head, so that the opponent will be briefly confused for a second or two due to loss of vision, and one or two seconds is enough for Mu Qin to escape.

But after waiting for a long time, the other party did not make the move to open the curtain as Mu Qin expected, but walked to the medicine cabinet in the infirmary, and seemed to be opening the cabinet to search for some medicines and the like. Mu Qin heard the noise made by the other party when he turned things over.

He didn't seem to notice that a large, living person was hiding behind the curtain beside him.

Mu Qin hid behind the curtain and thought so, but Mu Qin still didn't dare to be careless, he still tensed his body and nerves and waited silently.

While waiting, Mu Qin kept telling himself in his heart: Don't be impulsive, keep waiting, and wait for the best time.

While Mu Qin was waiting, the other party finished looking through the medicine cabinet, but still did not come to pull Mu Qin's curtain, but left the infirmary with light steps. Mu Qin heard his footsteps gradually drifting away. sound.

Realizing that the other party might have gone out, Mu Qin couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. He sighed silently, but still didn't dare to leave the cover of the curtain. He decided to continue hiding here for a while, because he guessed that the other party might not have gone far.

Then there was a long waiting time. Mu Qin waited for almost ten minutes, but still did not hear a sound from outside. Mu Qin finally confirmed that the other party had left, so he slowly relaxed his tense and stiff body , gently lifted a corner of the curtain, and took a peek outside.

The infirmary still looked empty. After the unidentified guy turned over the medicine cabinet, he didn't close the cabinet, and some medicines were scattered on the ground.

The door of the infirmary was wide open, and the lights in the corridor outside were turned off at some point, and it was pitch black.

Seeing that no one else was in the house, Muqin pulled the curtain and walked out. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he felt relieved, clutched the antipyretic medicine in his pocket, and walked out the door. But unexpectedly, the moment Mu Qin stepped out of the infirmary door, he felt a strong wind blowing from the side. It came so suddenly that Mu Qin couldn't react in time, so he could only instinctively raise his arms to protect his vitals .

Immediately after that, there was a sharp pain. Someone punched Mu Qin hard in the stomach. The force was not small. Mu Qin felt like a dumbbell was hitting his stomach, which made him feel his stomach and intestines were overwhelmed for a moment. , stomach acid will spit out.

This knocked Mu Qin into a daze. He was surprised to realize that the enemy was standing by the door of the infirmary, waiting for Mu Qin to come out to ambush him, and the other party waited silently for a full ten minutes, as if guarding Patient like a hunter of traps.

Mu Qin, who was beaten up, did not lose his ability to move. He insisted on retreating to distance himself from the enemy, but the opponent rushed up again, this time instead of throwing a fist, he kicked Mu Qin's left leg. On the knee, the damage to the joints made Mu Qin unable to continue to stand, and could only kneel on one knee in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the man stepped forward and kicked Mu Qin in the stomach. Mu Qin was kicked by the opponent and fell backwards, but Mu Qin struggled to turn over and tried to get up.

Soon Mu Qin realized that he was in a very passive situation. The enemy obviously had strong fighting skills. He used every move skillfully, and he tried to hit the joints and the parts that could feel the pain most. People feel severe pain and quickly lose the ability to resist, and become slaughtered like fish on a chopping board.

What Mu Qin had to do at this time was to get out of the opponent's attack range as soon as possible and restore his body's coordination and combat effectiveness, otherwise he would definitely be beaten to death.

Fortunately, the opponent didn't seem to have any weapons such as blades, otherwise it would have been a knife instead of a fist just now.
