"Is this the truth?" Mu Qin was silent for a moment after hearing this.
Zhou Yue nodded and continued to smile, "Of course it's the truth. I would never lie to you, Mu Qin."
Mu Qin doesn't know much about the specific setting of this so-called killing game. He only knows roughly that it is a terrifying game in which five players do their best to avoid a killer. But now this so-called "killer" is standing in front of Mu Qin. Mu Qin is sure that Zhou Yue will not hurt himself, but he can't imagine Zhou Yue hurting others.
"If you were a killer, would you kill me?" Mu Qin asked Zhou Yue very bluntly. He didn't seem to understand what tact was.
So Zhou Yue gave the most intuitive answer: "I will."
This sentence stunned Mu Qin for a moment, and Zhou Yue saw Mu Qin's astonishment, so he approached Mu Qin, reached out and touched Mu Qin's chin: "Do you think I won't kill you?"
Mu Qin didn't ask stupid questions like "Why did you kill me?" He thought for a while, and seemed to think of something, then squinted his eyes at Zhou Yue, and said, "Then what should I do so that you don't kill me?" And me?"
Zhou Yue didn't answer, he smiled, moved his face closer, and gently rubbed his lips against Mu Qin's lips, his ambiguous movements filled the air with a sense of fascination. Then Zhou Yue held Mu Qin's waist with one hand, lowered his head and bit Mu Qin's neck.
When Zhou Yue bit Mu Qin's neck, his mouth was a little heavy. Mu Qin couldn't see it, but he felt that Zhou Yue's teeth marks must have been left on his neck. This conjecture made Mu Qin a little embarrassed.
Zhou Yue whispered softly in Mu Qin's ear: "The mechanism of this game requires that the killer must shoot and kill all other players. Because if I don't kill, I will be the one who dies."
Mu Qin understood immediately: "Does it mean that if you don't act, you will be obliterated by other things?"
"I will be directly eliminated by the game system." Zhou Yue hugged Mu Qin happily, and was not about to let go. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, for some reason, this reunion did not seem unfamiliar at all, but became more and more When Fafa became intimate and was hugged by Zhou Yue like this, Mu Qin could always recall those youthful pasts they had shared together.
Those days when they went to school together, played ball, traveled together, and did shameful things in hotels during high school.
Zhou Yue was quite patient, and began to briefly introduce the detailed setting and content of this killing game to Mu Qin.
Zhou Yue said: "The name of the game we are in is Border World. It is said to be a gap world between death and dreams. It is specially used to accommodate the souls of people who have died in this world. After resurrecting them, they will be thrown into the Border World. Each time a map ends. Afterwards, the escaped players will be sent to a safe house, where there is a surreal sci-fi style virtual computer, and the opening words of the computer are: 'Welcome to the frontier world'."
"How did the frontier world appear? Who created it? We don't know all of this... Of course, it's useless even if we know it. This magical power that can bring people back to life, the truth of this terrible world, isn't it We ignorant mortals can easily get involved, and we don't have the power to change the world. We have only one purpose in this world, which is to survive by whatever means."
"Live, and then?" Mu Qin asked, "If we survive, can we return to the original real world that belonged to us?"
Mu Qin's question made Zhou Yue ponder for a while, and replied: "It is said that it is possible."
"... It is said?" This vague word caught Mu Qin's attention.
"Yes, it is said." Zhou Yue looked at Mu Qin seriously, "I have never seen anyone who can really escape. Most of them survived the novice level by performing well in the subsequent maps. But after five or six maps of reincarnation, there is still no hope of escape, and the mind is already on the verge of collapse. Once the mind collapses, death will be inevitable."
"In various places in the safe house, such as walls, floors, tables and chairs, you can see the marks left by other players."
"It is said that there is only one safe house in the border world. All players will come to the same safe house after finishing the map, but they seem to be in different dimensions, and they cannot see each other. If that is the case, that word can be interpreted by other players, and although it will soon be eliminated by the safe house’s self-healing function, this is almost the only way for players to communicate with each other in this game.”
"From the marks left by these players, I learned that this game can escape and return to the real world, but this is just word of mouth from others. Specifically, who escaped and how to escape Go, there's no real conclusion."
Mu Qin was able to understand some other deep meanings from Zhou Yue's words, and this meaning made Mu Qin inexplicably a little creepy. Mu Qin said: "What about you? Since you know so clearly, then you stay in this game How long has it been?"
"I don't remember." Zhou Yue still stared at Mu Qin with deep eyes, "I've been here for a long time."
Mu Qin couldn't imagine how Zhou Yue felt when he said this. He stretched out his hand to touch Zhou Yue's face, his tone revealing a bit of imperceptible panic: "I don't understand, Zhou Yue...does this mean that you are in a bad situation? Very bad?"
"At least after meeting you, it won't be so bad anymore." Zhou Yue actually still had the heart to sweet talk Mu Qin at this time, he hugged Mu Qin's waist and rubbed against Mu Qin's body. After a while, Zhou Yue's tone suddenly became heavy, "I've lived until now, but in fact, all I've been thinking about is being able to go out to see you. When I was still in the real world, I was hit by a stray bullet when I was confronting terrorists. I lost consciousness on the way to the hospital. Before I died, I was thinking about not having time to find you, why didn’t I go to you earlier, thinking about it…”
Zhou Yue's tone began to tremble as he spoke, he hugged Mu Qin even tighter, and finally showed a trace of pain and sadness: "Mu Qin, if only time could be turned back, back to our high school year, I must keep you before you leave, even if I give up everything, I will hold you tightly by my side and won't let you go anywhere. "
"Zhou Yue." Mu Qin called out Zhou Yue's name, and hugged his back with his backhand. He felt Zhou Yue's body trembling, and couldn't help feeling sour, but he couldn't say a word.
The two hugged each other for a long time before Zhou Yue recovered and said with a smile, "I miss you so much, Mu Qin... really miss you so much."
"I'm sorry." Mu Qin's nose became sore when he heard this.
"I said this not to make you feel guilty." Zhou Yue shook her head gently, "So don't say sorry to me, you are not wrong, I am too useless."
Muchin said sadly, "But you ended up like this because of my departure."
"A lot of people will leave, and a lot of people are meeting again, but I'm just too stupid to try to reunite with you, so stupid that I would die easily." Zhou Yue took Mu Qin's hand, "I've been looking forward to meeting you , although I am very happy to see you today, but I still hope to meet you in the real world."
"I'm sorry, Zhou Yue." Mu Qin finally couldn't help it anymore, he reached out to cover his eyes, his voice was full of sobs, "I left without saying goodbye, I'm really sorry."
Zhou Yue patted Mu Qin's head helplessly: "I told you not to be sorry."
After a long while, Zhou Yue said: "I'd better continue to tell you about the things in this game. It's hard to see the above, and I can't bear to let you cry all the time."
Mu Qin wiped his eyes and said, "I didn't cry."
"Your eyes are red." Zhou Yue seemed very happy to see Mu Qin crying, and leaned forward to kiss Mu Qin's eyes, "I like you, Mu Qin, so don't cry."
"The role of killer in the game is not fixed, and at the beginning of each game, each player will be randomly assigned a tarot card." Zhou Yue continued to explain some in-game settings to Mu Qin, "You There should be, at the beginning of the game, you will find a Tarot card in your pocket."
Hearing this, Mu Qin reached out and took out his Fool's Tarot card from his pocket: "Is this it?"
Zhou Yue glanced at Mu Qin's cards, nodded and said, "This tarot card is actually a prop card, I think you should be able to guess it."
"I do think it's a prop card, but I haven't figured out how to use it yet." Mu Qin took the Fool's card and thought about it. Looking at this card, Mu Qin didn't think there was anything unusual about it.
Zhou Yue said: "The Fool card is the starting card, which means starting from scratch, and it is also an exploration card that will lead you in the right direction. It is so complicated, but in fact this card is to help you find exits and props It is used, the usage is the same as that of a compass, you hold it and turn around in place, and when you point it in a random direction, if the pattern on the card surface lights up, it means that there are hidden exits and props in that direction.”
When Zhou Yue said this, Mu Qin understood instantly, and really took his Fool's card and turned around in place. When he aimed it in a certain direction, Mu Qin found that the pattern on the border of the Fool's card was slightly bright, and stopped turning. He raised his head and looked in this direction... It seemed to be the direction of the church.
"The Fool card is the easiest card for novices to get, because most novices can't figure out the danger they are in. It is best to use such a card to guide them in the right direction. But after passing the novice level, this It’s hard to get cards.”
Zhou Yue continued: "There are six fixed players in each game, and one of these six players will randomly get the 'Death Card'."
"Death card?" Mu Qin felt that he had vaguely grasped the point.
Zhou Yue gave Mu Qin a meaningful look, and said with a smile: "There is a card in the major arcana of the Tarot card that represents 'Death', and whoever gets this card will become a killer. This card has self-disguise. The efficacy of it, if I show it to you..."
Speaking of which, Zhou Yue really showed Mu Qin a Tarot card, and then Mu Qin was surprised to find that what Zhou Yue showed was the same Fool card as him.
"This card will automatically disguise itself as the face of other tarot cards. This is to hide my killer's identity. Its disguise is indistinguishable to the naked eye, but it can only be used as a disguise, and it cannot use the same card as other tarot cards. It has the same effect as the Luo card." Zhou Yue said, "The death card has only one effect, it makes me a death... that is, it makes me immortal."
Mu Qin was a little shocked: "Isn't it resurrected?"
"It's immortality." Zhou Yue emphasized this difference, while playing with the Tarot cards in his hand, letting the light pieces of paper fly up and down with his fingers, "It will give me a terrible self-healing ability, which is effective against pain and anesthesia. Immunity, any injury can be recovered with my will, and at the same time, my body's various functions have been greatly improved, so that I can reach the realm of immortality."
After all, Zhou Yue shook her head: "However, the Tarot cards in each game are one-time props. If I don't get the Death Card in the next game, I won't have this power."
Mu Qin touched his chin and thought: "In this way, at least you are invincible in this game."
"Yes, the killer in the game is invincible. You can cause temporary damage to him, but he will recover quickly in a short time and continue to chase you." Zhou Yue said with a wry smile: "But it is not impossible to restrain the killer , For example, there is a card called 'Judgment' in the Tarot, which is specially used to target the killer, if used on the killer, it will make the killer incapacitated for a long time."
