Mu Qin's words were actually intended to provoke Shi Hai and the others. Mu Qin couldn't really tell whether there were any so-called "ghosts" among the three of them.
However, the trained Mu Qin has excellent and accurate intuition, which tells Mu Qin that these three people are "safe" for the time being. In terms of appearance, temperament and expression, Mu Qin didn't have any special feelings. So Mu Qin's provocation is just to disturb the human side's vision and thinking. As for whether they will be fooled by Mu Qin's provocation, Mu Qin doesn't care very much.
What Mu Qin noticed... Everyone is connected with the map, but the map of the library is the same as the last Paradise of Despair, it is a map that anyone can enter, as long as anyone comes here to read a book, it can be called The map is linked.
Mu Qin didn't know whether Shi Hai and the others were connected to the map simply because they came here to read books, or were sent to this map for other reasons... The former is fine, but the latter is worthy of Mu Qin. Think it over.
Mu Qin didn't know what cards the three of them were holding. Shi Hai and Qiao Yuanfei obviously agreed to enter the game at the same time on purpose, and they were successfully matched as teammates. They are all old people. Or the cards from card dealers like the Viscount enter the game, plus the new cards they draw in the game, they should all have two main cards in their hands.
I don't know what cards the human beings are getting, and I don't know how to deal with it. After thinking so much, I still can't think of any good way. Mu Qin took a deep breath and slowly relaxed his mind.
After that, the two groups of people who had their own thoughts really parted ways like this. Mu Qin took Chu Xin to the elevator. He planned to go upstairs to find out the situation first, because he saw the lights upstairs were on, and the person who hadn't appeared among the six people should still be upstairs.
After Shi Hai, Qiao Yuanfei and others watched Mu Qin and Chu Xin get into the elevator, they gathered together to discuss for a while. After the discussion was over, Mu Qin paid attention to their movements and found that they seemed to be really planning to look for them. The basement that Muchin mentioned hides the escape route.
In the elevator, Chu Xin dared to ask Mu Qin, and Chu Xin, who was still a newcomer, asked, "What is the 'ghost' you are talking about?"
Mu Qin also thought it was necessary to explain the situation to Chu Xin, and just briefly explained the rules of the game and some elements of the fringe world.
Chu Xin had a half-knowledge, but at least she understood. She asked Mu Qin without hesitation, "Are you a ghost?"
Mu Qin also readily admitted: "Yes."
"Then will you kill me?" Chu Xin asked obediently.
"You will be fine if you are obedient." Mu Qin replied.
Chu Xin really nodded obediently: "Don't kill me, I will listen to you."
The girl was so obedient that it was unbelievable that Mu Qin couldn't help turning his head to look at Chu Xin, and Chu Xin also looked at Mu Qin. The two looked at each other for a while, and Mu Qin stretched out his hand to pinch Chu Xin's small face. Chu Xin's face was also small, with a bony body, but there was some delicate soft flesh on her face, which was very comfortable to pinch.
Chu Xin couldn't help squinting her eyes on one side of the cheek being pinched by Mu Qin. That little movement was cute like a cat's.
"You are very good at reading people's faces." Mu Qin lowered his eyelids, looked down at Chu Xin, and said softly, "And you are very good at grasping your own advantages. You know that as long as you act weak, you can make me feel soft towards you."
Mu Qin saw through Chu Xin with one sentence, but it didn't make Chu Xin flustered. Of course, Chu Xin said honestly: "I am very weak. If I want to survive, I must make good use of other people's sympathy."
Mu Qin understood that this is how this girl has survived all along. She is weak, powerless, and has no ability to protect herself, so she can only rely on others, obey others, act according to other people's faces, and endure everything she can endure. As long as she can let herself survive.
In this regard, she is very smart. She has learned to find someone she thinks is suitable to rely on in any situation. In order to let others accept her, she knows how to look at that person's face, and will not hesitate to sell her body when necessary.
Mu Qin sighed slightly: "You will survive, and live better than I imagined... But I hope that one day in the future, you can try to live on your own."
Chu Xin just looked at Mu Qin and didn't speak. Mu Qin didn't know if the girl understood his words, and then Mu Qin thought, maybe she had already understood.
After that, in the elevator, Mouchin began to sort out some clues he got from this library.
"There have been some strange reports in this library before." Muqin first took out the newspaper that he had kept on his body from his pocket. He took it from the newspaper rack at the front desk of the library. The reason why he took this newspaper was that It was because there was a large-character report in the newspaper, which read: The central library is haunted.
Events related to the map often hint at clues about props and exits in the map, so Mu Qin subconsciously accepted the newspaper. He decided to take some time to read the event description in the newspaper carefully, so he took the elevator , Mu Qin quickly glanced at the newspaper.
The incident in the newspaper is like this, it is said that there are frequent hauntings in the X downtown library, and it has been going on for about two years. Readers who borrow books at night, as well as library maintenance and cleaning staff, often hear strange crying sounds from the second floor of the library, which is the sound of a woman crying hoarsely, and books often come out of the bookshelves inexplicably. Various strange phenomena such as falling, tables and chairs moving, and objects scattered on the ground appeared. In the surveillance video of the library, we can clearly see the strange occurrence of this strange phenomenon.
No one can explain why this is. Many people think that this is just a publicity stunt by the library. If the edited surveillance video is released, it will be regarded as a supernatural phenomenon. After they came to experience it in the evening library, each of them changed their minds and said that there must be ghosts in this library.
When haunting incidents became more and more widespread and attracted public attention, someone picked up a murder case in the library two years ago on an online forum.
The location of the library in the city center of X is very close to a key high school in the city—yes, it is the high school that Mnuchin attended. Because the school is close to the library, a large number of high school students will come to the central library to apply for library cards and borrow books in their spare time. Even the school has cooperated with the library to encourage and help students collectively apply for library cards.
So every weekend, the library is almost full of students from nearby high schools.
The murder case was also caused by this group of high school students. It seemed to be a pair of puppy love couples in the second grade of high school. The man cheated and dumped the girl to pursue someone else. In the evening, I invited the boys to the second floor of this library, because there is a separate study room on the second floor, which is a very narrow room with tables, chairs and small bookshelves for students to do their homework and study alone. For use, it is only for students, so you need a student ID card, a library card, and a certain amount of rent to open it. In this small study room, a girl killed a boy with a butcher knife.
It is said that the girl was quite cruel. After killing the boy, she spent the whole night dismembering him and chopping him up. The boy's flesh and blood covered all the walls of the study room, even though there was a lot of blood on the ceiling.
Then the girl wrote a suicide note and put it on the table, and then she committed suicide in the study room.
There is nothing in the content of the suicide note, it just mentions that I am sorry to my parents, saying that I did this kind of thing because I couldn't control my anger for a while, and I hope to repay my parents for their upbringing in the next life.
The murder had such a profound impact at the time that the downtown library was closed for a long time, and the key high school also terminated its cooperative relationship with the library, no longer encouraging students to borrow books from the library, and even prohibiting students from visiting the library. Books are borrowed from this library.
The library reopened after a long period of rectification. They sealed off the study room where the murder occurred, and even blocked the door of the study room with cement paste. But despite this, the facade of the library is still very depressed, unlike the bustling scene of a crowded city like before.
When this vicious murder case gradually faded out of people's sight, the library suddenly began to be haunted by strange incidents, and it lasted for two years. People who borrow books often hear crying from the second floor and see various supernatural phenomena in the library. Gradually, people began to spread rumors that the soul of the girl who murdered was trapped in the cement-sealed study room and could not get out, which caused the terrible phenomenon today.
However, what is interesting is that the host of the post on the Internet who deeply picked up on this matter broke out a very special information. The host of the post said that he knew the girl who committed suicide after killing two years ago, and also learned of the girl's life. A little secret. The landlord said that in this library in City X, there is a novel written by the murderous girl using her own blood as ink. This novel was hidden on a shelf in the library by the murdered girl, and it was mixed with other ordinary books. If you find this book and burn it, you can end all kinds of weird and supernatural phenomena in the library.
However, this statement has been questioned by many people, because many old readers who have borrowed books in the library have never seen this "blood book" on any shelf, so they think this statement is nonsense. Attacking the host who posted the post is superstitious and spreading rumors.
All kinds of weird incidents in the library were recorded by newspaper reporters and published in the newspaper as headlines. The writing was quite detailed, so Mu Qin could fully understand the whole process of the whole incident. He learned some important things from these reports. clues, such as the cement-sealed study room on the second floor, and the possible "blood book".
The reason why Mu Qin wanted to read these reports and organize them was because Mu Qin thought of the reversed star card on himself. The effect of the inverted star, as long as Mu Qin continues to destroy the map props that humans can get, the speed of humans will become slower and slower. Therefore, as long as Mu Qin gets some props first and destroys them, it can cause great obstacles to the human side.
But this is not Mu Qin's main goal. His goal now is to find another "ghost" as soon as possible, and then kill him, so that Mu Qin can slaughter human beings in the next time without any worries.
Shi Hai, Qiao Yuanfei, and the newcomers around them, Mu Qin concluded that there is no "ghost" among the three, although he guessed, after all, there may be many variables in this game. But Mu Qin still decided to trust his intuition, and his feelings seldom go wrong, so... since none of the three people seem to be "ghosts", then "ghosts" is likely to be the remaining guy who has not yet shown up.
When Mu Qin was downstairs before, he saw the lights on the fourth floor turned on.
Mu Qin felt that the other party might still be on the fourth floor, hiding in a certain corner, and then brewing or planning some conspiracy, especially since the fourth floor has a great advantage of vision, the other party might be observing Mu Qin and Shi Hai upstairs The movements of the two of them, and all the actions of Mu Qin and others were under his panoramic view.
If the other party saw Mu Qin and Chu Xin coming upstairs, they would definitely make some preparations, such as setting some traps and the like. But Mu Qin can't be coaxed, since he has the awareness to choose to be a ghost actively in this round, he must have the courage to kill another "ghost".
So when he went upstairs this time, he deliberately went to find trouble with the other party.
In order to prevent Chu Xin from being used by the enemy to restrain Mu Qin, Mu Qin decided to hide Chu Xin. He quickly found a suitable place to hide. There was a storage cabinet for brooms and brooms in the stairwell. The cabinet on the wall, after opening, there is a very narrow space inside. Mu Qin picked up Chu Xin and stuffed her into it. Fortunately, Chu Xin was short, so although the cabinet was not big, it could still accommodate Chu Xin.
Chu Xin curled up obediently and let Mu Qin carry her around. After hiding Chu Xin, Mu Qin softly told her not to come out when she heard any sound, unless Mu Qin called her.
"If you are in danger, the card on your body can save your life." Mu Qin decided to teach her how to use the card, "If someone wants to hurt you, you can touch the judgment card on your body with your hand, and then stare at it. Just look at your enemies and think of the words 'Use Judgment' in your mind."
Chu Xin nodded to show that she had listened, so Mu Qin closed the door of the storage cabinet with confidence, then walked up to the fourth floor alone, and looked at the lights on the fourth floor.
The fourth floor of the library is not used for reading books. It has been transformed into a place similar to a tea and dining bar. It is still designed in an ancient style of ink and wash, with soft sofas and small round tables, wooden ceilings, windows with venetian blinds, and a counter at the door All kinds of tea drinks and snacks are sold, and there are one or two rows of bookshelves against the wall, which are filled with fashion magazines or popular novels. It is estimated that this is a special place for readers who are tired of reading downstairs to come up to drink tea and rest. In order to avoid the noise of chatting while drinking tea from affecting the readers who are quietly reading downstairs, the entire tea and dining bar on the fourth floor is surrounded by soundproof glass. stand up.
Although it is surrounded by glass, you can still look downstairs through the glass. The hall on the first floor can be seen in a wide view from the fourth floor.
Mu Qin entered the door of the tea and dining bar, first turned on a desk lamp on the counter next to the entrance, and looked around the entire tea and dining bar on the fourth floor under the dim light of the desk lamp. The innermost floor lamps in the tea and dining bar were turned on, the light was not very bright, and most of the places were dim, but at least there were lights on here, so whether it was tables, chairs or other objects, Mu Qin could clearly see Seeing... He didn't see that anyone else was there.
No one... Could it be in the toilet
The tea bar on the fourth floor also has a toilet, not only the toilet, but also a tea room behind the counter, where the service staff specializes in making tea drinks. Mu Qin thought for a while, then took out a flashlight from the counter drawer, and took the flashlight into the tea room behind the counter. The tea room is not big, and it looks a bit like a small kitchen. Coffee machines and such.
Mu Qin carefully stood at the door of the tea room and took a flashlight to illuminate the inside, but found nothing unusual, then went in and turned on the lights in the tea room, but there was no one there.
Mu Qin quickly withdrew from the tea room, took a flashlight, and then went to the toilet next to him. The toilets in the entire library building are similar in structure. Mu Qin went into the men's room with a flashlight and looked around, but saw no one, and then went into the women's room, still no one.
After coming out, Mu Qin couldn't help frowning, he thought: Did I guess wrong
Is the guy who hasn't shown up until now not on the fourth floor? If he wasn't on the fourth floor, he probably went downstairs, he didn't use the elevator, because he didn't hear the sound of the elevator starting, he probably took the safety stairs next to the elevator... wait, if he took the safety stairs... Chu The heart is still in the storage cabinet in the stairwell, so it shouldn't be found, right
Thinking of this, Mu Qin felt a little worried, and immediately turned around and left the tea restaurant on the fourth floor. He started to walk back, and he wanted to go back to find Chu Xin.
When Mu Qin walked back to the stairwell where Chu Xin was hiding, Mu Qin saw a figure standing in the middle of the corner between the third and fourth floors.
The stairwell was a bit dark, and Mu Qin couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but it seemed to be a man, about 1.76 meters tall. Noticed something in the glove box so thought I'd open it up and check it out.
But the movement of the man was interrupted by the movement of Mu Qin when he went downstairs. Hearing Mu Qin's footsteps, the man gave up opening the door of the storage cabinet, but turned his head to look at Mu Qin, Mu Qin You can feel the other party's sharp gaze, stabbing Mu Qin's body like a sharp knife.
Mu Qin took advantage of the situation and raised the flashlight in his hand, shining the light of the flashlight on the man.
He seemed to be a very ordinary man, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with a very well-proportioned body, his appearance could only be regarded as ordinary, his facial features were ordinary, and he looked more refreshing with a cropped cropped head. His expression was peaceful, seemingly harmless, but he gave Mu Qin a lifeless feeling.
The man turned his head to see Mu Qin with a surprised expression, and greeted Mu Qin, "Hello."
Mu Qin moved a little closer, and then noticed that the man was holding a knife in his hand.
The other party also noticed that Mu Qin was staring at his blade, so the man casually raised the blade and said, "Oh... I forgot to put it away."
"You don't need to put it away." Mu Qin was calm, took a slow and deep breath, and took out the blade from his pocket by the way, "We will use it anyway."
Seeing Mu Qin taking out the knife, the man was even more surprised, and murmured hoarsely: "Double ghost game, it's really bad, are you going to fight as soon as you come up? You are also courageous, and you came directly to the door."
"I don't have the intention to hide my identity and play around with you." Mu Qin said in a low voice, "I want to end this game as soon as possible, so I hope you die quickly."
The man seemed a little helpless, and said: "It's so straightforward... Well, I don't want someone to steal my head, so let's compete."
It is Mu Qin's most hope to be able to start the battle so directly, but when Mu Qin held the blade and was about to go up to fight the opponent, a thing that Mu Qin did not expect happened suddenly, and Mu Qin realized that The "ghost" in front of him may have an extra reversed card, or have some skills that Mu Qin doesn't understand, because this guy, he is actually invisible in front of Mu Qin's eyes!
right! He is invisible!
The enemy suddenly disappeared in stealth, which surprised Mu Qin, and immediately stood still in place. Mu Qin couldn't see the enemy anymore... But the stairwell is already very dark. There is a light in the stairwell, but it is a voice-activated light, and it will turn on when you shout. The light is so dark that it makes people crazy. significance.
But the complete invisibility of the opponent still made Mouchin uncomfortable, because he had never fought an 'invisible enemy'.
The good news is that although Mu Qin can't see the enemy's voice, Mu Qin can hear the slight breathing sound of the opponent when he gets close! Especially when the enemy swings a knife to attack Mu Qin, Mu Qin can still hear the sound of the blade cutting through the air!
Therefore, as soon as Mu Qin heard the sound, he instinctively raised the back of his knife to resist, just enough to block the enemy's blade swung at him.
The man seemed to be surprised by Mu Qin's ability to respond, he let out a "huh" and said, "You are very good."
After finishing speaking, the man appeared in front of Mu Qin again. He didn't fully reveal his body, but his body showed a vague posture, which was very strange. He said to Mu Qin: "Should we try to cooperate? The head you Two of me, two, although it can only guarantee the bottom line, at least there is no need to worry about excessive losses."
"That's too few points." Mu Qin was merciless, "I want more points."
"Does it mean that you don't want to cooperate with me?" After the enemy finished speaking, he completely disappeared from Mu Qin's sight, but his voice continued, "Greed is not a good thing, do you really think I am so Is it easy to deal with?"
