"Mu Qin! Mu Qin! Great, you're awake!" When Mu Qin opened his eyes, a hurried voice sounded next to his ear, and Mu Qin subconsciously followed the sound and looked aside. Seeing Peng Zhe holding his hand tightly, squatting on the edge of his hospital bed, and seeing him open his eyes, Peng Zhe instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Qin felt dizzy in his head, as if something was roaring in his mind, ringing non-stop, drowning all his thoughts and emotions with this roar. After a long time, Mu Qin came back to his senses and said to Peng Zhe, "What happened? What happened to me?"
"You were hit on the head by a falling cabinet in the police station." Peng Zhe said, "Your head was smashed, and your face was covered with blood. After I sent you to the hospital for emergency treatment, you were in a coma for a day and a night .”
"In a coma... one day and one night?" Mu Qin felt dizzy even more. He looked around subconsciously. He found that he was in a hospital ward, not a single room. A white gauze curtain separated his bed from other beds. From time to time, I could occasionally hear the low groans of the patients on the next bed.
It seems to be broad daylight now, because Muqin can see the sunlight coming in through the window. The weather was fine, and the golden sunlight shone on the white porcelain floor tiles, giving the pure white ward a sense of peace and tranquility. From time to time, there were birdsong outside the window, and a few chirping sparrows perched on the branches, singing like singing.
Seeing Mu Qin looking around, Pengzhe subconsciously explained to him: "It's ten o'clock in the morning the next day, and the doctor said that you were hit with a slight concussion. If there is a serious problem, you can leave the hospital."
Mu Qin stretched out his hand and touched his head. There was indeed a thick gauze on his forehead. Seeing him touching his wound, Peng Zhe reached out his hand to stop him and said, "Your wound is not healed. Don't touch it."
"I was hit by a cabinet... that's why I passed out?" Mu Qin suddenly asked.
"Yeah... weren't we at the police station yesterday? I don't know what the policeman was thinking. He suddenly said that he would take you to the interrogation room... the interrogation room is also the interrogation room, but the interrogation room is so small. Put a big cabinet inside, and the cabinet is even more evil, and the door just hits your head."
After listening to Peng Zhe, Mu Qin was a little confused, and then asked Peng Zhe, "Why was I dragged into the interrogation room by the police? Did I commit any crime?"
"Have you forgotten? We had a car accident yesterday. An Audi's brakes failed, causing a series of rear-end collisions at the intersection of the highway. Our car was also rear-ended. More than a dozen cars were blocked there. Fortunately, although the injured There were many, but no one was killed, the police took all the drivers and passengers of the cars to the police station to investigate the responsibility."
Pengzhe's words made Mu Qin full of doubts. Mu Qin said, "Serial rear-end collision? Isn't the driver of that Audi dead?"
"Dead?" Pengzhe also looked puzzled after hearing this. He reached out and touched Mu Qin's forehead, and felt that Mu Qin's forehead was not hot. Pengzhe said, "Where did you hear that the Audi driver died?" Already?"
"Is he not dead?" Mu Qin felt a little confused.
"Of course he didn't die, he still went to the police station with us." Pengzhe said helplessly, "Did you break your brain?"
"I don't know." Mu Qin muttered to himself, "I think I seem to have some more memories in my mind. I remember that the Audi car directly hit our car, and the Audi car hit our car. and then the two cars collided with a large truck in front of the corner. You and I jumped out of the car wisely to escape, but the driver of the Audi car died on the spot... "
"You must be dreaming." Peng Zhe touched Mu Qin's forehead again, "Could it be because of the concussion that the brain made up extra memories?"
"No, it's not a dream." Mu Qin covered his face, "I still remember that after I arrived at the police station with you, a police officer inexplicably called me to go to the interrogation room to talk to him alone, and then in the interrogation room, the policeman Shot in the head... I can even remember what it felt like when the bullet went through my head."
"Oh my god! You've made up some messed up brains!?" Pengzhe said helplessly to Muqin, "You really fainted because your head was smashed by a cabinet. How could a policeman shoot you suddenly? What? Then the police have no grievances with you, so why would they kill you for no reason? And if you were shot in the head, it wouldn’t be a pediatric problem like a concussion.”
"Then why did he ask me to go to the interrogation room?" Mu Qin asked again.
"The policeman seems to have mistook you for another suspect. They were dealing with a robbery case at the police station and found a suspect whose name sounds like yours. His name is Mu Qin, Mu Shepherd, Qin Shihuang Qin."
Peng Zhe continued: "I'm afraid I called you Mu Qin, and I took you for Mu Qin, so I told you to go to the interrogation room to investigate and interrogate, and then you had the accident of being hit on the head by a cabinet."
Everything Peng Zhe said was very reasonable, and Mu Qin also felt that the extra memory in his mind was unreal like something experienced in a dream. He rubbed his temples for a while, Then he said to Peng Zhe, "Well, I'm afraid I really took the content of the dream as a real memory."
Peng Zhe then stood up and said to Mu Qin: "Wait a minute, I'll call the doctor to come over to show you. Your injury is not serious, and you should be discharged from the hospital in a while."
Seeing that Pengzhe was about to leave, Mu Qin suddenly reached out and grabbed Pengzhe's arm, and held him back, saying: "Pengzhe... wait a minute, I still have some questions for you."
"What's the question?" Peng Zhe turned to look at Mu Qin, obediently waiting for him to ask.
"I can't remember... This concussion is really terrible. What I want to ask is, how did I meet you?" Mu Qin asked a question that surprised even Pengzhe.
Pengzhe looked horrified: "Don't you even remember the meeting and meeting with me?"
"If I still remember, I don't need to ask you." Mu Qin actually remembered, but he was afraid that his memory was different from what Pengzhe said in reality, so he wanted to ask Pengzhe for confirmation.
Peng Zhe said: "We met because... you called my officer Xu Haoyu and asked him to help take care of a vegetative person, and then the officer brought me here and said that I would protect you."
"You also said that you have been targeted by some unknown group of people or organizations recently. These people illegally invaded your home and turned over your vegetative friend's ward, so don't worry, I hope my officer can help."
So it turns out that the memory is different from the time of the car accident? After listening to Peng Zhe's general narration, Mu Qin could probably figure out the point where his memory was chaotic and divergent.
"Are you really okay?" Seeing Mu Qin's distraught look, Pengzhe felt a little embarrassed, "If you have anything to do, please tell me, I will do my best to help you."
Mu Qin showed a weak smile, and said to Peng Zhe, "Thank you, I'm fine."
"Then I'm going to call the doctor." Peng Zhe said, "You wait here. There is the takeaway I ordered on the bedside table. If you are hungry, you can eat that. Don't worry about the money for hospital treatment. The policeman who found the wrong person paid for it." gone."
After speaking, Peng Zhe left Mu Qin's ward, and Mu Qin watched his back as he left.
After Peng Zhe left, Mu Qin lowered his head and continued rubbing his temples.
Mu Qin felt a little scary... because he didn't forget about the marginal world, and the memory of everything he and Zhou Yue experienced in the marginal world. Yes, Mnuchin remembers everything now, clearly, every detail.
This is exactly why Mu Qin felt terrified.
"I remember... why?" Mu Qin stretched out his hands to hug his head. He felt that his head was in great pain, and he felt dizzy. This kind of dizziness even made him a little confused whether he was awake or still In the dream.
According to Zhou Yue, the will of the marginal world will repair the unreasonable events related to it in the real world. As long as Mu Qin still remembers the existence of the space of the marginal world, it stands to reason that the will of the world will clear Mu Qin's memory. , but now... Mu Qin has not forgotten.
Mu Qin's head was so dizzy that he even had a feeling of vomiting. This vomiting made Mu Qin's stomach twitch and hurt. He slowly got off the bed, put on his shoes, and skipped a lying patient next to him. bed, walked to the bathroom at the innermost part of the ward, and then faced the sink in the bathroom, washing his face with clean water.
But after washing with clean water twice, Mu Qin started to vomit. His stomach was empty, and he didn't vomit anything, only the sour water in his stomach.
Mu Qin hugged the sink and vomited for a while, wiped his mouth with water, looked up at the mirror in front of the sink, from which he could see his own face, with a gauze wrapped around his head, pale and haggard face.
Mu Qin looked in the mirror for a long time, finally wiped his face and went out again. He returned to his hospital bed and found the clothes in the bedside cabinet. The clothes on Mu Qin were a set of hospital gowns. His original set of clothes I'm afraid it was taken off by the nurse or Pengzhe and put in the cabinet.
After finding the clothes, Mu Qin fumbled in his trouser pocket, and soon found the white card.
White card.
According to Zhou Yue, this white card is the key to the Butterfly Throne, and the person holding it can unlock the throne and let people board that seat smoothly. At the same time, the meaning of this card is the same as the king's scepter and the emperor's seal. It is the identity proof of the king. If the "king" wants to transfer the throne to someone else, just hand over this white card to that person.
The mysterious person on the Butterfly Throne gave this white card to Zhou Yue in a dream, and selected Zhou Yue as the heir to the throne. When Zhou Yue woke up from the dream, this white card would appear on Zhou Yue's body out of thin air. hand.
This card seems to have the function of automatically locking the heir. It will first lock Zhou Yue's soul, so that Zhou Yue cannot escape from the marginal world. As long as Zhou Yue's physical body in this world does not die, even if he dies a hundred or eighty times in the marginal world, under the influence of the white card, he will return to the marginal world to continue reincarnation.
The function of the white card is not only to lock Zhou Yue's soul, but also to randomly open a door in any map Zhou Yue experiences. Through that door, Zhou Yue can enter the map where the Butterfly Throne is located, and After the person handed over the position, Zhou Yue will become that person's stand-in, replacing that person and being bound to the throne.
Generally speaking, the person on the Butterfly Throne cannot force Zhou Yue to hand over the position. He can only seduce and persuade Zhou Yue by harassing Zhou Yue's dreams, and let Zhou Yue take the initiative to sit on the throne.
Therefore, Zhou Yue can remain completely unmoved, he can keep delaying time, he can choose not to enter the map of the throne, and not to hand over the position with the person on the throne, so that he will not become a substitute, but he will never be able to escape fringe world.
In particular, if Zhou Yue's physical body in the real world dies, Zhou Yue can't be like before, even if she dies in the marginal world, she can return to reality, and then re-enter the game and reset the account.
If Zhou Yue's physical body in this world dies, Zhou Yue will only have one chance left in the marginal world. If he wants to survive, he can only go to the person on the Butterfly Throne to hand over his position. After sitting on the throne, he will find it himself. Another substitute to replace myself.
So the problem came, Zhou Yue didn't want to hand over the throne, but because of the white card, his soul was bound to the edge of the world and couldn't get out. In addition, Zhou Yue's physical body in the real world had an accident and became a vegetable, which caused his physical body to be sleepless, so Zhou Yue's soul was also trapped in the marginal world and never woke up.
The goal is, how can Zhou Yue not hand over the throne, but get rid of Bai Ka's soul bondage
Zhou Yue said: "Just kill the king."
People on the Butterfly Throne are not invincible. This "king" can be attacked and can die. As long as the "king" dies and the heir does not sit on the throne, the Butterfly Throne will lose its effect, the throne will disappear, and the map where the throne is located will also disappear.
If the "king" sits on the throne as a "killer", then he can indeed remain immortal and sit on the throne all the time. At this time, if Zhou Yue wants to kill the king, he must first have the identity of a ghost and enter the throne map with a death card. Only ghosts can kill ghosts.
But even having the Reaper card wasn't enough.
The "king" cannot leave that seat, but that seat itself has extremely powerful power, and its power covers the entire throne map. The king can use the power of the throne to easily manipulate other people's will and behavior, and firmly control the throne map within himself. in the palm of your hand.
If Zhou Yue entered rashly, he would easily be controlled by the "king" who was unsuspecting. Once controlled, Zhou Yue would realize in a daze that he had already sat on the throne and became the successor of the king.
Therefore, there is no way for Zhou Yue to easily enter the map of the throne, he must be fully prepared. At least he must find a way, after entering the map of the throne, he must not be controlled by the king, and then he must successfully kill the king.
"Among the 22 main cards, the last card is World No. 21. This card is the most heaven-defying card among all the main cards. It has only one function, which is to make the person holding this card 'successful' '." When Zhou Yue was still on the map of Paradise of Despair, she told Mu Qin about the effect of the world card.
Mu Qin also asked curiously at that time: "What does it mean to make people 'successful'...?"
"It means that no matter what you do, you will get the results you want."
Zhou Yue briefly explained, "If you are carrying this card and you are being chased by a killer on a certain map, and you desperately want to get rid of the killer, as soon as you want to get rid of the killer, you will find …you really get rid of the killer, and that killer will inexplicably fall into a pit on the ground that shouldn’t have appeared, or be blocked by other things that shouldn’t appear, helping you get rid of the killer’s entanglement.”
Mu Qin immediately understood: "That means this is a luck card, a card that can make you achieve your goal no matter what you do."
"The meaning of the world card is: 'The world is under my control'." Zhou Yue said, "But it is also the most rare card among all the main cards. The upright world is to increase human luck, and the reverse world is to increase The luck of the killer. And what's interesting is that even if you use a magician to turn into a world card, there is a probability of failure."
"Will the magician's card change fail?" Mu Qin received unexpected information.
Zhou Yue said: "Yes, it will fail. Aside from being unable to turn into the death card, the magician cannot 100% guarantee that it will absolutely become the card you specified. Once the magician cannot become the card you specified, the magician Master will randomly change into other cards by himself, although the probability of failure is not very high, but we must be mentally prepared."
"I have used a magician to transform into a world card before, but I failed several times. The world card is very difficult to play, no matter whether it is upright or reversed. I have experienced so many games in reincarnation, and I have never seen it once."
"I understand." Mu Qin was thoughtful, "You want to enter the throne map with a death card and a reversed world. The death card turns you into a ghost, so you can kill the king on the throne." The king. The reversed world will enhance your luck and make you unable to be controlled by the king. As long as you meet these conditions, you will not need to hand over the throne, but you can also get rid of the shackles of the white card."
Zhou Yue nodded: "Didn't I say it before? After the killer successfully leaves the map, he will get a special reward for the killer. This reward has a high probability of being able to draw a reversed main card. It is said that the probability of spawning a reversed world is very high. So I keep trying."
"That's why you always wanted to be a 'ghost'." Muqin asked.
"That's right." Zhou Yue lowered her head and pinched Mu Qin's paw, her tone was very serious, "I can go back and meet you after I kill the king on the Butterfly Throne."
"But now there is a problem." Mu Qin said, "I was attacked by the 'king' in the real world. The king controlled some people in the real world to attack me. You know, he seems to want to take me away. The white card on his body, why is that?"
Zhou Yue said: "That guy has been waiting for me to take the initiative to hand over the throne. I'm afraid he is in a hurry. He wants to change his heir."
"Change the heir?" Mu Qin asked in surprise, "Can you change it casually?"
"It can be exchanged." Zhou Yue frowned solemnly, "but the price is a bit heavy. He must kill the heir he originally designated, get the white card back, and then pass the white card to the new heir through the dream."
Mu Qin felt even more palpitated: "That means he is going to kill you, and then give the white card to someone else."
"But I'm not easy to kill." Zhou Yue said, "My body is still alive in this world, and my soul is reincarnated in the marginal world. If he wants to kill me, he must kill me twice. Once to kill my body in the real world, and then Once, I tried to find a way to kill me in the marginal world, and this white card can only be passed on to others if I die completely."
Mu Qin touched his chin: "This is very troublesome, I don't know what he will do."
"My physical body in the real world is actually very difficult to die." Zhou Yue said, "Remember what I said? The will of the marginal world will correct unreasonable events in reality. In other words, if he controls others to directly kill my physical body, It is absolutely impossible, because it is unreasonable, and there is no reason for a stranger to come to the hospital and strangle a vegetable that has never met before."
"But he can find other ways to make your death more like an accident." Mu Qin can guess, "There are many ways for this kind of accident, such as adding some ingredients to the liquid food you eat, and then letting the nurses who take care of you Nurses come to feed these liquid foods, as long as they pass through the hands of others who don’t know the truth, the power of will in the marginal world will not easily interfere.”
Zhou Yue said: "Yes, you are very smart, indeed..."
"But during this period of time, I will take care of your physical body in this world." Mu Qin said, "I personally handle everything you eat and your daily activities, and I am more cautious. I did it myself, no one else could handle it, and I was by your side all day. The king couldn't find a chance to attack you, so he had to find a way to get the white card back first, and deter and intimidate me."
Thinking about it, Mu Qin said: "But why didn't he invade my dream to directly control me, let me go away and leave you alone."
"Probably because your mental power is too strong." Zhou Yue smiled, "The power of the Butterfly Throne can't work for some strong-willed people. Of course, it's different in the map of the throne. In the map of the throne, The power of the Butterfly Throne allows the king to control everyone."
"I understand. In the real world, as long as I'm by your side and guarding you, you're absolutely safe." After Mu Qin figured this out, he suddenly became a little anxious, and he said, "But it's a bit bad, because that guy keeps controlling others Come to attack me and threaten me, I don't know the truth, and I am very worried about your safety, so I hand over your body to my comrades in arms."
Hearing this, Zhou Yue couldn't help frowning and said, "This is really difficult."
"My comrade-in-arms is also a person with a firm mind, and I'm afraid he won't be controlled by the 'king' so quickly." Mu Qin bit his lip and said, "But I'm afraid I will forget everything in the marginal world immediately after I return to reality. Maybe there is no way to find your physical body in time, if your physical body dies..."
Zhou Yue held Mu Qin's hand tightly, and looked at him tenderly: "Don't worry, Mu Qin."
"I won't die so easily." Zhou Yue said.
Mu Qin smiled wryly: "It's not up to you to decide whether to die or not. You are a vegetable in this world, and anyone can easily kill you."
"I can return to my soul." Zhou Yue said, "As long as I die in the marginal world, I can return to my physical body in this world."
Zhou Yue lowered her head and held Mu Qin's hand even tighter, "If you go back to the real world this time, if you can't find my body immediately, then go to sleep. You should have a white card on you, and the white card won't be locked. Your soul, but it is also easy for you to enter the edge world, so as long as you sleep with the white card, you can return to the safe house."
"Then in the safe house, you tell me through the wall that you haven't found my body, then I will immediately start a new game and commit suicide in the game, so as to return to the real world, so that I can guarantee my own body survived."
Mu Qin said: "If you commit suicide... don't you want to start over again? You have been fighting for so long in the game just to get enough skills, strength, as well as the death card and the reversed world."
"But I can see you too." Zhou Yue leaned closer to Mu Qin's face and rubbed his cheek against Mu Qin, "Although I have to delete the account and start over again, I don't care if I can see you."
"I won't let you die." Mu Qin returned to hold Zhou Yue's hand, and he said firmly, "No matter what the price is, I will definitely protect you."
"That's great, Mu Qin." Zhou Yue's voice was hoarse, "God favored me so much that I was able to meet you."
…
After the doctor was called by Pengzhe to check Mu Qin, he said that Mu Qin was fine, he just needed to go to the pharmacy to prescribe a medicine, and then come back for a reexamination once a week, removed the sutures on his head, avoided some spicy food, and did not need to be hospitalized , he can go home and cultivate himself.
So right after that, Peng Zhe and Mu Qin packed up their things and went through the discharge procedures and paid the follow-up medical expenses. Mu Qin then walked out of the hospital with Peng Zhe. At the moment when he walked out of the hospital, Mu Qin opened his mouth to say something to Peng Zhe, but Peng Zhe spoke first:
"Before the car accident, you said you were going to find the mother of your vegetable friend Zhou Yue's mother to Jie Zhu, but now because of the car accident, we have been delayed for a long time. Should we continue to go?"
"No, I don't need it." Mu Qin took a deep breath. Now that Pengzhe had brought up the topic, Mu Qin followed suit, and said, "Please help me to contact your chief officer Xu Haoyu. Zhou Yue is leaving."
Peng Zhe said: "Are you worried about Zhou Yue's safety? The officer should be able to take good care of him."
"It's not that I doubt that Xu Haoyu can't take care of him, but that I have to see Zhou Yue now." Mu Qin couldn't explain anything, so he simply explained his purpose straightforwardly.
Mu Qin's head still hurts very much now, a very, very severe pain. Although Mu Qin can bear it, this pain feels abnormal to him. The doctor had previously explained that headaches and dizziness are normal phenomena after a concussion, but Mu Qin felt that the abnormal pain might have something to do with his memory retention.
Muchin's memory of the fringe world hasn't been lost, for reasons unknown...but he just does. Mu Qin doesn't doubt the power of the fringe world. Just because he can remember it now doesn't mean he can remember it in the future, so Mu Qin must rush to Zhou Yue's side as soon as possible before he "forgets", and give himself some reminders. So that after he "forgets", he can still guard Zhou Yue as always.
"Are you sure you don't want to go to Zhou Yue's mother to relieve Zhu?" Pengzhe didn't quite understand why Mu Qin suddenly changed his mind, but his duty was to follow and protect Mu Qin.
"I must go to Zhou Yue." Mu Qin said, "Now, immediately."
"Okay, then I'll contact the officer." Pengzhe took out his mobile phone from his backpack, and took out a music box by the way. He held the music box and said to Mu Qin: "By the way, there are This, the things you brought out from that psychiatrist's house before, have been kept in my bag because I have a bag."
Mu Qin said: "Let's put this thing in your place for the time being. By the way, is there a small cross model in your place too?"
"Yes." Pengzhe nodded.
"Help me keep it temporarily, but... when you sleep at night, don't put these two things in your bedroom, especially not on your bedside table or on your bed."
Peng Zhe didn't understand, and said with a smile: "I wouldn't sleep with this kind of toy."
"That's good." Mu Qin nodded.
Then Pengzhe started to call Xu Haoyu on his mobile phone, and when he got through, he informed Xu Haoyu that Mu Qin was going to find him and Zhou Yue. Xu Haoyu asked Pengzhe to call Mu Qin.
So Mu Qin answered the phone and started talking with Xu Haoyu.
Xu Haoyu said: "Before I handed over the person to me, why did he come here by himself now? Did something happen?"
Mu Qin said, "Is Zhou Yue okay with you?"
"In my sister's private hospital." Xu Haoyu said, "My sister has found a special nurse to take care of her."
"Aren't you by Zhou Yue's side!?" Mu Qin asked anxiously.
Xu Haoyu said: "I have my own things to do. Of course, it is impossible to stay by Zhou Yue's side all the time. Didn't you ask me to help investigate Zhou Yue's previous affairs?"
"You don't need to check that!" Mu Qin squeezed the phone tightly, his heart was beating violently, "tell me where your sister's private hospital is, I want to go directly to see Zhou Yue, call your sister for me, and let your sister Look at Zhou Yue personally, and don't disconnect until I rush to your sister's hospital."
"Is it really that serious?" Xu Haoyu spoke solemnly on the other end of the phone.
"Come on, he's in danger, he has to be strictly protected," Mnuchin said.
"Okay, do as you say... Since we want to keep in touch, don't hang up the phone between us. I will use another mobile phone to call my sister. We can communicate in real time if we have any questions." The critical moment is always very reliable. Mu Qin is very grateful for his trust in Mu Qin and his excellent mobility.
Mu Qin couldn't help but said to Xu Haoyu: "Fortunately it's you."
