Unlimited Cycles of Death

"The mission is being released—"

"Many players who gallop in the marginal world, hello! I am the host of this event, you can call me 01."

Inside the white safe house, each player's personal system opened a virtual screen to show the player a live video. The background of this video is all black, and a solitary floor lamp is lit in the darkness. The man with a clean face is telling in a low voice:

"I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, because of the unexpected things, I have delayed a lot of time, but it doesn't matter, the remaining time is enough for players to successfully complete your task."

"From now on, I will post the important points of this mission. Players are reminded to listen to me so as not to miss some messages that should not be missed."

"I originally wanted to publish a unique task for each of you, which was exciting, but then I thought that this model is too wasteful of time. For fairness and efficiency, your tasks will be unified and very simple."

"First of all, each of you will issue a tarot card to your personal system, but please note that this tarot card is not a skill card."

Cruz frowned, staring at the man in the video freely to speak. From his figure, he was obviously Zhou Yue.

"I think your personal system has issued cards to your hands." While Zhou Yue said this, Cruz gave a slight meal. He felt that something was in his palm and looked up. A glance at the hand revealed that there was an extra card in his hand.

This tarot card is very simple and clear. The back is the universal star and moon print of the tarot card, while the front is in the middle of a blank background, marked with a standard "10" in Arabic numerals.

10?

The number ten?

"Did you see it?" The man in the video continued to speak, while raising his right hand. He didn't know where to get a card exactly the same as Cruise's hand.

The man brought the card closer to the camera, changing the front and back, so that each player across the screen could clearly see the card.

"The card you get is marked with the number '10', which represents 'ten'."

"The lowest is zero, the highest is one hundred, and the passing score is sixty, and now you each have ten. Your task is self-evident, that is, to win points from others."

"I don't require each of you to score a hundred points, but you must have at least sixty passing points, that is, you must hold six ten-card cards to qualify for this mission."

"People who touch the standard line can go out of the marginal world, and you can really return to the real world! And you can also get a brand new body that is very beautiful and truly resurrected."

Zhou Yue spoke with a strange sense of pleasure. Although he could not see his face in the video, Cruise could still imagine his distorted smile.

"Of course, if someone can't collect six cards after the rest of the time ... then it's a pity that these people can only be destroyed along with the marginal world."

"You don't have to question me, anyway, even if you question me, I can't hear you." Zhou Yue seemed to be able to foresee the players' panic. He made a weird smile in the video, "Just believe me."

"Well, I need to add a few extra rules for this mission-"

"First, in this mission, all players will be deprived of their abilities. This means that you cannot use any skills and props, and your physical ability will be deprived. You will become the most ordinary human being, and only have You have learned in the real world. "

"Second, I will open the voice dialogue and visit system. Now you can search for the player ID to make a voice call with other players, or visit the door directly ... provided that the other party is willing to accept your call or visit. "

"Third, the personal system's mall will be closed and no more products will be sold. At the same time, the system will no longer provide players with anything other than safe food in the safe house."

"The above three game rules have been explained. Players who do not understand can consult other players who understand it on the blackboard. I hope you will not be too eager to help others."

Zhou Yue touched her chin in the video and seemed to remember something, and said, "Oh, right!"

"You will probably be very confused. You have no props, no skills, and your body has become a normal person. Even if you go to get a card from someone else, you still have to agree to it. What should you do? In order to successfully collect six cards What about cards? "

In the video, Zhou Yue raised the index finger of her right hand towards the camera, and made an action like "hush". The dim light hit him but could not reflect his face, and only saw the corner of Zhou Yue's slightly raised mouth. And listened to him softly: "Let me give you a little tip."

"Just persuade others. As long as you have a good tongue or a strong will, someone will obediently hand the card to you."

As soon as Zhou Yue's words fell, the video was over.

Cruise stared at the screen turning into a snowflake screen for a long time.

After a while, there was a loud noise from Cruise. Zhou Yue appeared in Cruise's safe house. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Of course, you are an exception, Cruise."

"Exception?" Cruise turned to look at him.

"Because you won't die, you can return to reality after the end of four hours, there will be no sense of oppression, and you never have to be afraid."

Zhou Yue beckoned in Cruz's safe house. A sofa that looked extremely comfortable appeared behind him, and Zhou Yue sat down with the opportunity.

"However, I hope you don't get burned out because of this, and be able to play games with this group of players." Zhou Yue leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa, squinting her eyes, "to experience the feeling of being in the game."

"Extremely boring, is this the game you tried to play with me by all means?" Cruise thought it was stupid, silly.

"I'm bored before I start, really impatient guy." Zhou Yue's face was injured.

Cruise: "This game ... doesn't make any sense."

"It doesn't make sense if you have the final say." Zhou Yue took it for granted. "It's my last decision. After all, you accepted our agreed terms, so from now on, you can only follow my pace."

Zhou Yue laughed: "There is no room for refusal."

Cruise said, "What about you? I'm playing this stupid game here, what are you going to do?"

"Relax, I'll be here with you, I won't go anywhere." Zhou Yue sat upright on the sofa and waved at Cruise.

"That's pretty reassuring." Cruise said, walking to the "blackboard" in the safe house, watching the densely popped message fonts appearing on it.

Players are starting a heated discussion on the blackboard, discussing the video just played by Zhou Yue to a group of players, and disagreeing with the series of game rules Zhou Yue said in the video.

— "That's weird! It's impossible!"

"Yes, that's weird! Without any means of attack, voice and visits must be approved by others, so how can I take cards from others?"

"Meaning that you can only persuade others through rhetoric? Let people hand over their cards obediently? This is impossible! Who the **** would be so stupid!"

"My player number is 3340. Welcome to a voice call!"

"3340 above is a liar, this number is empty!"

"My player number is 3360. Welcome to start a voice call with me!"

"This guy is fishing on Hu Yan's fake number, don't believe it!"

"Hello everyone, I'm an old player numbered 794, and I'll give you some tips here. The video just said two keywords clearly,‘ Clever Tongue ’and‘ Strong Will. ’”

"The clever tongue is like a spring. It's very simple. It just makes you think of ways to persuade others and let people take the initiative to give you cards. This is something most people can't do unless they know the art of language.

"'Powerful will' is more difficult, but old players should understand that the fringe world is a dream world, and dreams are always free-spirited, and what you want to accomplish is what this means."

"Is that the old 794 player above true? Why didn't I understand? What does it mean to be strong? It means that whenever I want, others will obediently bring the cards to the door?"

Beyond the blackboard, Cruise is also watching the communication of these groups of players intently. He also saw the message of the old player number 794, and could not help frowning slightly, seeming to think of something.

Cruz turned to look at Zhou Yue, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Do you want these players to take others' cards by‘ wish ’?”

Zhou Yue spread her hands and shook her head and said, "The game has already begun. I won't give you any hints, so don't ask me, guess for yourself."

This is kind of interesting. Cruise thought so.

Cruz turned back and continued to peep at the players' conversation on the blackboard.

Zhou Yue suddenly spoke and said, "Do n’t just watch it, didn't I say it? I want you to get in touch with these players at close range, so you are now a player, your number is 1408, How about trying to send the number and let others contact you? "

"1408? This number is really interesting." Cruz said, "I thought you would give me a new number. I remember that the number of players in the fringe world has now been ranked to nearly 5,000. Will become empty. "

"No way, I don't think you are a newcomer. If you give you a newcomer number, it may mislead other players. This is not fair to other players, is it?"

"Are you mocking me?" Cruz asked.

"No!" Zhou Yue waved his hands quickly and smiled. "How do you think so?"
