"It's normal to hide it. Why do you think I lowered my mental force field to allow you to sneak in?" Zhou Yue sneered and said to Xie Zhu, "I just let you come to see me on purpose."
Xie Zhu didn't panic, she calmly shook off Zhou Yue's hand that was holding onto her wrist, and stood up straight. The moment she stood up, Mu Qin next to her noticed that the woman's eyes had turned pure black... Even the white part of the eyes is black, I have seen it on Peng Zhe before, this "black eye" symptom means that Xie Zhu is under control, but Mu Qin discovered that this "black eye" can be temporarily hidden of.
Smiling at Zhou Yue: "Then why did you ask me to come to see you?"
Zhou Yue didn't answer immediately, but after a moment of silence, she squinted her eyes and said to Xie Zhu: "I think you have noticed it yourself, right? Our situation is very embarrassing."
Zhou Yue said: "I understand your purpose. You want to find a substitute for yourself, a new body. You came to me because you fell in love with the background and power of the Zhou family. You hope that after you get out of the marginal world , and can live a pampered, prosperous life... At the same time, in order to avoid falling into that terrible world again, you need money to make a lot of preparations.”
"The identity of the only son of the Zhou family makes you very coveted, that's why you found me."
"It's a pity that you underestimated me." Zhou Yue chuckled softly, "You may think that I'm just a dandy with a prominent family background, you think you can easily confuse me and subdue me with a little trick... But in the end, you wasted so much time And energy, but I'm still standing here."
Xie Zhu seemed to be irritated by Zhou Yue, she glared at Zhou Yue with vicious eyes, and said, "Zhou Yue, don't get carried away too much, do you think I really can't cure you? I hope you understand clearly , what I am occupying now is your biological mother's body, I may not be able to commit suicide directly, but if I really want her to die, there are too many ways!"
"I know, just like how you dealt with Mu Qin before." Zhou Yue looked disapproving, "As long as the death is not directly caused by you, the will of the world will not repair it, so you can use Xie Zhu's body to walk On the top floor of a high-rise building, you stand on the edge of the roof, and then you leave Xie Zhu's body. When she regains consciousness, she may stagger and fall by herself. She will definitely die, because you are no longer in her body at that time. Here, the power of the world's will will not work."
"Since you understand! Aren't you afraid!?" Xie Zhu reached out and grabbed the clothes on his chest, "I will kill her."
"Then go die." Zhou Yue looked at Xie Zhu indifferently, his eyes were really indifferent, the pitch-black eyes were like obsidian drowning in the cold deep sea, making people feel cold all over.
Even though she had such indifferent eyes, Zhou Yue smiled just right, "Do you really think I care?"
"How could you not even care about your biological mother's life!?" Xie Zhu couldn't believe it, at least in the performance just now, when she hugged Zhou Yue, she could still feel Zhou Yue's touch, so Zhou Yue's current indifference It's just a disguise, Zhou Yue will give in in the end, Xie Zhu firmly believes.
But Zhou Yue's attitude made her confidence begin to shake. The indifference and ruthlessness in Zhou Yue's eyes did not seem to be fake, he said indifferently; Strangers, so...why should I care about a stranger's life?"
"She gave birth to you!" Xie Zhu stood up straight, looking down at Zhou Yue who was sitting on the hospital bed.
Zhou Yue almost sneered: "Do you think I look like the kind of filial son who will repay the kindness of birth?"
"I don't believe you will turn a blind eye to your biological mother's life." Xie Zhu said this as if to comfort himself.
Zhou Yue spread her hands and said helplessly; "I used to care about it, but now I have been reincarnated in that world for countless times, do you think I will still have... something similar to conscience?"
Xie Zhu was speechless and could only stare at Zhou Yue silently.
Zhou Yue just smiled at her. When he smiled, his eyes were full of sarcasm, but his tone was slightly gentle. He said slowly: "Actually, I don't want to continue to entangle with you, because I'm too tired, and neither of us wants to make a move." If you make any concessions and continue this stalemate, except for wasting time, there will be no benefit to both parties, you must be very tired of me, you want to change the heir, but I don't want to die."
"Then what do you want to do?" Xie Zhu said.
"Let me find you a usurper." Zhou Yue said it seemed very relaxed.
Xie Zhu couldn't understand, she said angrily: "Usurper? Are you kidding me? You can only usurp the throne if you kill me. Your so-called usurper is just finding someone to kill me."
"Before that person kills you, I will go to your map first and give you a wheel of fortune." Zhou Yue replied softly.
Then Xie Zhu fell silent, and after a moment of silence, she hesitated and said, "Are you serious?"
"What are you doing to lie to you? I was worried that if I went to your map, I would be plotted against you." Zhou Yue continued to laugh, "You must be aware of the effect of the Wheel of Fortune, that is a ten-minute world. It has the power to compete with the world, so even if the usurper comes to you with the world, you don’t need to be afraid. When the usurper is caught by the throne, you can use the wheel of fortune to escape from the map, but unfortunately... escape After the map, you will become a player in the world again, and you will lose the chance to escape back to this world, unless you meet a new throne in the future."
"I don't believe you." Xie Zhu said in a muffled voice, "Zhou Yue, I've seen through you, you're an extremely cunning old fox... Instead of doing these risky deals with you, I might as well continue to talk to you like this. Consumption, and if we want to consume it, I can definitely consume you to death. After all, I am immortal on the throne, and you are just a fragile ordinary person, and you may encounter a fatal crisis anytime, anywhere... However, I am not unable to agree Your deal, as long as you meet one of my conditions."
"What condition?" Zhou Yue asked.
Xie Zhu pointed at the silent Mu Qin beside him, and then grinned: "I want him to be the usurper."
Following Xie Zhu's fingers, Zhou Yue turned her head and glanced at the bewildered Mu Qin next to her. Mu Qin, who had lost his memory of the marginal world, heard the conversation between them in a fog, and felt what they said Mu Qin understands every word, but the combination is like a heavenly scripture.
"What is a usurper?" Mu Qin couldn't help asking.
Zhou Yue didn't answer. Even if he did, Mu Qin would quickly forget his answer, so Zhou Yue didn't say anything. After staring at Mu Qin for a few seconds, he turned to Xie Zhu and said, " He can't."
"Why not?" Xie Zhu seemed to feel that he had caught Zhou Yue's vitals, and laughed wildly.
Zhou Yue said: "He is not from that world, he can't even get in, how can he be a usurper?"
"If you can't get in, let him in by force." Xie Zhu suddenly took out the white card that he snatched from Mu Qin out of nowhere, and the white card was even stained with what Mu Qin and Zhou Yue had left on it before. Then Xie Zhu continued to grin: "Let him hold this card and kill him, and he will definitely enter the marginal world."
Zhou Yue said: "This card should only lock me, and it cannot have an effect on Mu Qin."
"The white card is indeed just to lock you, but it has the same effect as a 'medium' in the real world, it will strengthen the connection between the person holding it and that world, and the media effect of the white card is the strongest, holding it Even if its people are not sinners, they will still enter that world after death."
Xie Zhu stared at Zhou Yue thoughtfully: "I believe you really don't care about the lives of your parents, but you definitely care about Mu Qin. If he can be a usurper, then he would be perfect."
Zhou Yue remained silent, and after a long time, he replied; "I will not allow you to do this."
"I can find anyone to be a usurper for you, but only Mu Qin can't." Zhou Yue was quite determined.
Xie Zhu seemed very dissatisfied: "Does it mean that you would rather consume me to death than use him as a usurper?"
"Yes." Zhou Yue raised her head slightly: "And you look down on me too much. It's not sure who will die first. In fact, I already have a usurper. He said that he is very interested in that throne and is willing to I went to the throne map to kill you. Because that guy has long wanted to escape from that world, and he has made all the preparations for it, but he was very unlucky and never met the throne."
"So..." Zhou Yue threatened the other party, "Do you want to spend time with me now, waiting to be killed by the usurper in the future, or agree to my conditions now, and I can save your life."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xie Zhu's voice suddenly rose, the king occupied the woman's body, and when she raised the volume with her vocal cords, there would be that shrill and sharp sound, which was creepy to hear.
Xie Zhu said loudly: "I will never believe you! Are you fully prepared? Want to get the throne? There is no such person in this game! The old players are almost dead, and the new players don't even have the throne. I don’t know anything, I have been in this ghost place for so long, if there is a player who wants to get the throne, do I still need to fight you here?”
"Just because you didn't find it, doesn't mean I haven't met it." Zhou Yue tilted her head and looked at Xie Zhu with a sneer; "I have met the oldest player in the game, the system number is 13, and he is alive and well." , alive and kicking, he is what I call a usurper who wants to 'usurp the throne'."
"...Thirteen?" Xie Zhu stared at Zhou Yue, as if extremely surprised, "Impossible, this is impossible."
"Why is it impossible?" Zhou Yue expressed his puzzlement.
"The people whose number is less than 100 should all be dead..." Xie Zhu took a few steps back, her face suddenly turned pale, she couldn't help reaching out to grab her chest, as if she couldn't breathe . After Zhou Yue saw Xie Zhu's appearance, he bit his lower lip unobtrusively. He knew that his mother, Xie Zhu, had a heart problem. It was not serious, but very mild. He just took medicine and avoided too strenuous exercise.
The king who possessed the body and released the bamboo naturally would not have time to care about the health of this body, with a look of astonishment and panic: "They are all dead, and the players with numbers below 100 no longer exist. This is what the system told me personally. .”
"I traded with him." Zhou Yue said calmly, "The system shows that his number is indeed thirteen... Does this mean that he is the first batch of people to enter the game?"
"They're all dead!" Xie Zhu almost screamed loudly, "The first batch of people who entered the game at the same time were fifteen people in total, and they were also the ones who started the game. They were the ones who opened the border world four years ago. All the disasters are caused by them!"
"I don't understand what you mean." Zhou Yue heard that Xie Zhu's words contained a lot of information. This guy probably knew a lot of inside information, which also made Zhou Yue very interested, but he didn't have time to chat with the king right now. Many, at least not in front of Mu Qin, because Xie Zhu mentioned the word "marginal world" in the topic just now, which is very likely to cause the revised law of the marginal world's will to take effect.
So Zhou Yue said to the other party simply and clearly; "Just tell me, are you willing to accept my conditions? I can give you the wheel of fortune and let the usurper be your substitute, and at the same time you stop Harassment by me, and those around me. As long as you agree, the matter will be resolved perfectly."
Xie Zhu began to gasp, and said intermittently: "Don't lie to me, Zhou Yue! I will leave the white card to you, and I want you to come and see me with the wheel of fortune within three days."
"This proves that you agreed to my conditions." Zhou Yue smiled, "But no, my identity is more sensitive. After all, I am the heir locked by the white card. If I go to the throne map, I will be easily controlled by you. If you take Turning against me when the wheel of fortune comes, that would be bad."
"Then what exactly do you want?" Xie Zhu took a deep breath.
"I will negotiate with the usurper. I will give him the Wheel of Fortune. When he comes to usurp the throne, he will give you this card first." Zhou Yue said.
"You're kidding, the usurper is here to kill me!"
"The usurper kills you to usurp the throne, as long as you can get that chair, it doesn't matter much if you save your life." Zhou Yue said, "And that 'Thirteen' is not a difficult person to talk to, I will convince him. "
"But how can I be sure that you have the wheel of fortune, and that Thirteen will really give it to me? In case you just want to delay time and deliberately make up these words to scare me, I will go back and wait foolishly for the usurper Come to kill me? Isn’t it ridiculous!?”
"Then you can choose to keep fighting with me." Zhou Yue didn't want to give in. "Anyway, I won't die for a while, and you just wait for the usurper to come and kill you."
Xie Zhu seemed to be extremely angry, and her anger made her face even paler. She thought about it for a while, and finally compromised. She threw the white card on Zhou Yue: "Okay, but I will only give you five days. Time, on the fifth day you let that usurper come to me. But, Zhou Yue, don't get carried away."
Xie Zhu stretched out his finger and pointed to himself, "I made some manipulations to this woman's dream, and I gave her some hints. The effect of this hint has nothing to do with the power of the throne, so the correction of the will of the world will not work. Therefore , When the usurper came over on the fifth day, if he didn't bring me the wheel of fortune, I wouldn't lift the hint, so this woman would jump off the building and commit suicide. If the usurper brought the wheel of fortune, I would Kade instantly lifted her hint."
"So you still want to threaten me with Xie Zhu's life, do you think it's useful?" Zhou Yue seemed amused.
The other party was not irritable because of Zhou Yue's ridicule, and also laughed: "This woman has something wrong with her heart. When I was just angry, this body began to show some symptoms of qi deficiency. Although you said you didn't care at that time, you are perfect. There are still flaws on the mask."
Zhou Yue stared at her without speaking.
Xie Zhu grinned grimly and said, "Our agreement has been made. After five days, you must let the usurper come to see me with the wheel of fortune."
After Xie Zhu finished saying this, he suddenly collapsed and collapsed on the ground as soon as he closed his eyes.
Zhou Yue didn't pay attention to her either, but turned to look at Mu Qin who had been silent by his side.
Mu Qin also looked at Zhou Yue. The two looked at each other for a while, and Mu Qin suddenly said, "You're lying."
Zhou Yue blinked: "Why do you say that?"
"I don't know." Mu Qin smiled lightly: "But when you lie... I can feel it."
"I don't know what you guys are talking about." Mu Qin turned his head slightly to look away from Zhou Yue, and continued, "It must be something that I wouldn't understand even if I said it."
Zhou Yue didn't answer, but stretched out his hand to Mu Qin. Seeing him stretching out his hand, Mu Qin also reached out and put his finger on Zhou Yue's palm subconsciously. Then he heard Zhou Yue say: "Mu Qin, no matter what happens... I will definitely will come back to you."
"So, don't worry, and don't be afraid."
…
Two days is really too short.
In addition, so many things happened in the middle, which made the already tight time even more urgent.
After Zhou Yue's mother Xie Zhu woke up, she returned to the original Xie Zhu. She only remembered that she received a call from Mu Qin, so she came to see Zhou Yue who was awake.
Although she didn't understand why she appeared directly in front of Zhou Yue in a trance, she recovered the original Xie Zhu, and her performance was completely different from that of the king who possessed her before.
Seeing that Zhou Yue really woke up, Xie Zhu seemed very happy, but she still maintained the reserve that a noble lady should have. After she expressed her condolences and care to Zhou Yue, Xie Zhu's tone became serious immediately, It smells like an office.
Xie Zhu said: "I will not inform your father for the time being, and you don't need to go back to the previous hospital, just stay here and recover. I will tell your father when you are almost recovered, and I will pick you up. .”
"And, I will talk to the doctor here later and transfer you to a better ward, and I will pay for the medical expenses."
"Don't ask if I want to go back?" Zhou Yue asked her suddenly.
Xie Zhu looked puzzled and said, "You are Zhou Xiyuan's son, and the Zhou family's mansion is your home. Where else do you want to go if you don't go home? Back to the army? Don't think about it, you have slept for two years, and the army has already There is no place for you."
Zhou Yue remained silent, then Xie Zhu turned his head to look at Mu Qin, and said to Mu Qin, "Thank you for your hard work, please help me take care of him for a while, and I will settle your medical expenses for you later." Yes, you will be rewarded later."
Mu Qin said: "Auntie, I don't want to be paid..."
Xie Zhu seemed a little impatient: "My son will go back to Zhou's house in the future, Mr. Mu Qin, although it has been hard for you during this time, I hope you still have some winks."
Xie Zhu's words are equivalent to telling Mu Qin: Don't miss my son!
Mu Qin had nothing to say, and bowed his head in silence. Seeing that neither of them spoke, Xie Zhu went out from the ward to find Zhou Yue's doctor.
"Look, it's normal for her to be like this." Zhou Yue waited for Xie Zhu to go out, then turned her head and smiled at Mu Qin, "This is her correct attitude."
Inexplicably, Mu Qin was a little uncomfortable by Zhou Yue's words. He felt that his heart seemed to be pulled by something, and it hurt. Mu Qin replied sadly; "Your mother...in fact, she still cares about you. She also came to see you when you were asleep."
"But not many times, right?" Zhou Yue didn't seem to care, "You don't need to comfort me, I'm used to her attitude, my mother rarely has violent mood swings, because she has a heart problem, She will deliberately suppress her feelings, and as time goes by... She doesn't have much affection for anyone, whether it's her husband or her son. She relies on the Zhou family to survive, because the Zhou family will provide her with a perfect life, so that she doesn't have to worry, this is her chosen path."
Then Zhou Yue said to Mu Qin: "Honey, I will still sleep deeply tonight, maybe five days, so you also wait for me for five days. After five days, I will finish solving the 'king' and get rid of the shackles. I will be able to officially return to you, so... don't leave me for five days, okay?"
Zhou Yue's eyes shone slightly when he said these words. Mu Qin could feel the hope brimming in his heart, which moved Mu Qin's heart. He held Zhou Yue's hand tightly, and said to him with a smile: "Okay, I will never leave you."
"I love you." Zhou Yue kept expressing her sincerity to Mu Qin, "Mu Qin, when I come back, we will leave here, just the two of us, and go wherever we want."
Mu Qin lowered his head, blinked vigorously, then opened it again, continued to look up at Zhou Yue, and said with a smile, "Okay."
Jin will soon revive Zhou Yue in the game and take away Zhou Yue's soul, and Zhou Yue's plan is to return to the edge with a white card. This white card is quite interesting, it can be used in the real world and the edge world Shuttle at will, wherever the person holding it wants to take it, it will go there, so after Zhou Yue grasps this card and falls asleep, the card will follow him back to the marginal world.
Zhou Yue always thought that the reason why Mu Qin would enter the fringe world was because of this white card, which was also one of the reasons why he took this card away, so that Mu Qin could not come over.
But he may have made a mistake, because before Mu Qin got this card, he had already entered the marginal world with the music of the wonderful music box given to Mu Qin by the psychiatrist He Qiu... No, not even this music Because of the music box, the psychiatrist He Qiu did not play the music of this music box when Mu Qin was hypnotized to fall asleep.
But Mu Qin still entered that world. He stepped into the edge of hell and dreams in those illusions about death.
