Unlimited Cycles of Death

In the safe house, System 3780 tells Muqin that he can not only improve his physical fitness, increase his strength, intelligence, agility, etc., but also learn a skill.

The word skills aroused Mu Qin's interest and asked the system: "What skills?"

"All human beings have their own unique talents." System 3780 echoed Muqin's ear with her sweet and pleasant voice. The system said: "Some people are good at observation, some people are good at thinking, and some people are extremely powerful Endurance, some people are creative and can always come up with all kinds of weird ideas. "

"In a fringe world game, the system will not give you a fixed skill, but rather tap your talents, transform your best and best abilities into your skills, strengthen it and make players more autonomous and free. Control these skills to escape. "

The system's words gave Mu Qin some ideas. He proposed the idea to the system: "I understand what you mean. You can turn someone's" passive ability "into an" active skill. "This is probably the feeling. ... but what I know is, if someone is very good at cooking, will you turn his skill at cooking into his skills? "

The system replied: "The system will choose the talents that can increase the survival rate of the player for transformation. If this person is very good at cooking, it proves that his knife skills are very good. I will turn his knife skills into skills. "

Muqin asked, "If you turn his knife into a skill, does he have to use skills to cut vegetables in the future?"

"Not so, because his swordmanship is his own talent, I will not take the talent of others."

Muqin roughly understood: "I won't take talent, but only choose those talents that can increase the survival rate ... So what talents in me are worth your excuse?"

"I have scanned your physical fitness." The system said, "You have extremely good will and mental power, I can transform this mental power into your skills, but you need to pay 10,000 reward points, use To strengthen skills and open skill slots. "

After hearing the system mention skill slots, Mu Qin thought of it and asked, "Skill slots ... Does this mean that players can bring a lot of skills?"

"Yes." The system replied: "If you get more reward points in the future, you can use it to open your second skill and skill slot. As long as you have talent, as long as you can learn, you can have The skills are unlimited, but each time you enter the game, you can only bring up to three skills. "

Mu Qin nodded. He lowered his head for a moment and thought that instead of spending money to buy prop cards in the mall that seemed to be of little use, he might as well start a new skill now, so he took a deep breath: "I understand Now, let me start with a skill. "

"Okay, please wait a moment." After the system in the virtual screen finished saying this, he was silent for a long time. During this time, Muqin did not feel any abnormalities, but waited a few minutes. Muqin suddenly felt that his body was a bit hot, like the feeling of being sick and having a fever, especially his head, and his drowsiness made him unconscious.

Mu Qin couldn't help but reach out and support his head. He shook his head and just wanted to continue to ask what happened to the system, and the system took the lead to finally say: "I have successfully opened the first skill for you, you Is called 'Death Awareness' and you can see the detailed settings and effects of this skill in the virtual panel in front of you. "

After all, the system changed the picture on the virtual screen, and then Mu Qin saw an additional icon beside his personal panel, still a small snake-wrapped cross icon, but it was blue. Mu Qin reached out and touched this small blue icon, and then came up with a description of the skills, which was written like this:

Skill Name: Death Awareness

Passive 1: Decreasing fear (Death once made you afraid, but it also made you sober. The more you are in danger and in crisis, the more you will be identified, you will not be shaken, and you will always be calm and free. Fear is nothing more than a tool for analyzing the situation. PS: This passiveness cannot be strengthened.)

Passive 2: mental concentration (when you are under attack or extreme tension, your mental strength will be unprecedentedly concentrated, your thinking and insight will be enhanced, and you have the ability to find the first time you can escape The way of birth. Ps: This passive cannot be strengthened.)

Active effects: increase the coordination of your body and reduce any mistakes in your movements.

Mu Qin saw this skill that was given such a high-profile name as "Death Awareness". After reading it, he felt inexplicable. He felt that this skill, whether passive or active, seemed to have little effect, especially the passiveness of this skill. Muqin had previously learned to stay calm, think, and perceive in a crisis while training in the military.

He asked System 3780: "Is this skill really useful?"

System 3780 replied gently: "You can try to use and experience your skills, as long as you think about using this skill in your heart, you will naturally show it."

Following the words of the system, Mu Qin tried to use this so-called "death awareness", and then he felt that his body became lighter, but he felt only a little bit lighter, and his hands and feet were more flexible than usual, but There is no other role.

"That's it !?" Muqin swayed his body ridiculously, feeling deeply as if he had been pitted.

However, the system's services are still very comprehensive. The system continues to say, "If you have questions about your skills, or feel that your skills need to be adapted, I can provide you with a basic training room and place training puppets in the training room. You can use your skills in the training room with puppets. "

Muqin nodded. "That way, give me a training room."

"Look at your left hand side." The system reminded Mu Qin so, and Mu Qin followed the system's instructions and turned his head to look at the left hand. Then he saw that a door appeared on the wall on the left. A crimson ... the door of the snake cross was also carved on it.

The system continues to add: "Please open this red door, and the training room is behind it."

Muchin licked his dry lips and walked to the red door. Before he pushed open the door, he asked the system another question: "Is the snake cross a sign of the fringe world?"

"Yes," the system replied, "the snake cross is a symbol and belief of the marginal world, and we all firmly believe that we must endure the fire of endless fire before success."

Mu Qin believes that the phrase "system" is very profound. The system is obviously just an artificial intelligence, but it can say this kind of "believers", and it touches the general words.

Then Mu Qin entered the so-called training room. He felt that the training room was a sports gym filled with various fitness equipment. There were several training puppets standing on the padded platform. It was a simulation. A robot, without a face, is a pure white humanoid puppet.

There are a total of five puppets, who were standing still in the corner, but when Muqin climbed onto the platform, one of the puppets acted, and was as flexible as a living person. It stood in front of Muqin and set out Prepared for the attack.

Mu Qin did not go to bed early this night, but spent several hours in this training room. After a few hours, Mu Qin, who successfully killed everyone in the training room, climbed out of the room and returned to the safe house. After that, the recovery buff of the safe house came into effect, and the injuries and bruises caused by Muqin while exercising in the training room disappeared instantly.

"I need a room to sleep, preferably a bath." Muqin asked the system.

The system quickly responded to him, and opened a dark blue door on the right. After Muqin pushed the door, he found that behind the door was a five-star hotel room, a soft and comfortable double bed, woolen carpet, single A sofa and a bathroom.

Muqin entered the room and quickly took a bath, soaked in the bathtub for a while, then went to bed. He found that there was a timer electronic alarm clock on the night table, so he set the time so that he could get up at seven tomorrow morning.

...

The day inside the safe house passed quickly. Muqin had no dreams and slept very deep. In the morning, he was awakened by an alarm clock. When he opened his eyes to see this strange room in which he was living, he realized afterwards that he was really stuck in a terrible killing game and could n’t get out. went.

Mu Qin got up from the bed naked and opened the closet next to it. There was a row of casual and simple white clothes and black pants, and a lot of underpants were hanging. After putting on his clothes, Muqin washed his face and brushed his teeth, and came out of the room. The outside was the pure white safe house, which had nothing but the suspended virtual screen.

"Good morning, do you need any help?" The system seems to be on standby 24 hours a day. Mu Qin just went out, and the soft female voice was like a tweeting bird in the morning, and she spoke to Mu Qin. Mu Qin He stroked his belly and said, "I think I need breakfast."

The system quickly prepared a table and chairs for Muqin, and a set of Chinese breakfast that perfectly matched Muqin's appetite. When Muqin sat down in a chair and ate these slowly, he said to the system: "I feel your The service is really in place. "

The system responds: "I will provide players with the most comfortable environment and conditions, and if you need, I can even provide you with psychological counseling."

Mu Qin did not need psychological counseling. He asked the system: "You said that each system corresponds to a unique player, I am the 3780th player, and you are the 3780th system, then If I die in the game, will you die too? "

This problem caused the system to pause for a moment. Although she paused for a short time, Muqin noticed.

The system says: "I don't have the concept of 'death', but you're right, if you die, I will disappear from the marginal world. So during your time with me, I will do my best at your service."

"Are you willing to disappear like this?" Muqin could almost imagine his death. In this vast and vast world, Muqin is just so small that he can no longer exist. He knows that he will face death. He said, "I will die someday."

Although the female voice of the system is sweet, but lacks emotional fluctuations, she said mechanically: "I don't have the feeling of‘ willing or unwillingness ’. I just follow the instructions ... Excuse me, do you have any other needs?”

Muqin shook his head, he left his dining table and came to the wall behind the virtual screen. From 8 am to 10 am, this is the time period when the safe house opens this communication mode between players by default. Mu Qin only needs to wait for a while. At 8 o'clock, he can continue to write messages on the wall and talk with Zhou Yue. Already.

Thinking of Zhou Yue, Mu Qin's depressed mood improved slightly. No matter what, this time, Mu Qin will never run away again. He will stay with Zhou Yue and stay together.

At eight o'clock, there were a lot of weird scratches and handwritings on that wall, but because it was still early, there were not many players who got up and wrote on the wall early in the morning, so there were not many handwritings on the wall. Mu Qin took a knife to write and paint on the wall. He used the carcass to carve Zhou Yue's name on the wall, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see Zhou Yue's reply.

It's amazing that someone talked to Muqin.

Next to Mu Qin's comments on Zhou Yue's name, someone wrote this sentence in simplified Chinese:

"I understand part of the carcass. May I talk to you?"

This sentence made Mu Qin look for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, and began to hesitate whether he should talk to a completely strange and strange player.

At this time, the other party saw that Mu Qinjiu did not answer for a long time, and then continued to write: "Please, I am a newcomer to this game, I have lived the first game in a mess, but I will face a new game next. , I'm totally unsure, I still have a lot of things I don't understand, please tell me some information you know. "

Muqin still decided to talk with this "newcomer", because Muqin is also a newcomer, and communicating with people in the same situation will give him a sense of inexplicable belonging.

Mu Qin responded and wrote: "I am also a newcomer to the game, and I probably can't say how much information you want, and most of the information you can learn from your system."

Then Muqin wrote, "What do you want to know?"

When Mu Qin wrote that he was also a newcomer, the other party seemed to be disappointed. After a long silence, he still replied to Mu Qin: "I bought a death card in the mall, but later I knew that the person holding the death card would Become a killer, I regret it but I ca n’t return it. This card has spent all my reward points. I do n’t want to bring it to the next game because I do n’t know what the consequences will be, and I did n’t become a “ghost”. "Psychological preparation, can you give me any advice?"

To be honest, the other party ’s words frightened Mu Qin. He remembered that when he saw the main moon card sold in the mall, he was vaguely thinking that since the main card can be bought in the mall, Is it possible to buy that killer death card? If you enter the game with this card of death, will it become a killer?

Mu Qin only thought so in his mind at that time, but did not expect that he saw a living example so soon, he did not know how to reply to the other party.

The people who survive this game are basically no longer innocent. When they pass the first novice level, when they realize that they only want to sacrifice others, they make a fall. Psychological preparation for the abyss.

However, this mental preparation is not that everyone can do it right away and handle it calmly, just like the person who talks to Muqin now, the handwriting written by this person is getting more and more flustered, as if he can't control it. My emotions: "I also heard that players can trade between players in this game ..."

"So you want to sell this card to others, right?" This sentence was not written by Mu Qin, but by Zhou Yue. His handwriting Mu Qin recognized it at a glance.

Zhou Yue did not know when it was "online", wrote under the message of the person who spoke to Mu Qin: "This game does have a trading system, but you must know the system numbers of other players in order to trade, so you want to find it here A suitable buyer, "sell" your card. "

The other party did not answer.

Zhou Yue continued to write: "However, your promotion is successful. You can sell it to me. The price of the death card in the mall should be 10,000, and I can give you 10,000 reward points."

This time the other party answered very quickly: "Really !? Great! My system number is 3746, please tell me yours!"

Zhou Yue replied: "1309"

After the two people reported their system numbers to each other, the two sides did not write any messages for a while. Mu Qin waited for a while. He suspected that Zhou Yue might be trading with the other party.

After a while, Zhou Yue seemed to be back, converted the font, and wrote in italics on the wall; "Mu Qin, are you still there?"

"I'm here." Muqin immediately started lettering. "You really bought that person's death card?"

Zhou Yue wrote: "Yes."

"Are you planning to use it in the next game?" Mu Qin felt that he didn't quite understand Zhou Yue's thoughts. Obviously, he knew Zhou Yue so well before, but now he feels that Zhou Yue seems a little strange. He I feel that I can no longer understand each other clearly.

Muqin went on to write: "Are you buying this card just to help other people buy this card, or do you want to be a killer?"

Zhou Yue answered straightforwardly: "Killer players will get a special reward after the game is over. There is no special reward for human players. I mainly want this, so I try to hope that I can become a" ghost "."

"You can kill people for rewards, right?"

"Yes." Zhou Yue didn't seem to feel anything inappropriate about her behavior.

He has always been this kind of person. Mu Qin should have understood that. Zhou Yue had already exhibited this trait when he was in school. He is a person who will never care about the lives of others in order to achieve his own goals, especially It ’s because what he does is harmful to other people ’s interests, but it can be achieved as quickly and best as possible. Zhou Yue will still choose to do it without hesitation. The only person in his life who cares about him is Mu Qin. .

Zhou Yue's special privilege is the right that only Mu Qin can enjoy.

Zhou Yue seemed to notice something and wrote on the wall: "Don't you like me like this? I do ..."

"No." Muqin replied, "Our current situation requires us to do everything that is beneficial to our own interests. If being a" ghost "is a way to benefit you, you can certainly do it. I just worry ... You, the killer, you are the only one after all. "

"But I still have you." Zhou Yue also wrote, "Dear, no matter what happens, I know you will stand by me, right?"

Mu Qin stroked Zhou Yue's self on the wall and took a deep breath: "Yes, I will always be by your side."

If indifference and selfishness could protect Zhou Yue, Mu Qin would not mind becoming such a person.

...

At twelve noon, Mu Qin and Zhou Yue agreed on a time. Although he was still a little hesitant, when it was almost time, Mu Qin ate the delicious lunch prepared by the system early and ran for a while in the training room. Treadmill, and then told the system to help him start a new game on time at twelve o'clock.

The system naturally fulfilled Mu Qin's request perfectly. At the moment the twelve o'clock sounded, Mu Qin felt dark before his eyes and suddenly lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself in a ... amusement park.

An abandoned amusement park.

Mu Qin clearly told the system to send him in at noon, but it was dark after entering the game. If Mu Qin estimates that the time in the game map will always be night, or it is extremely dim day or At dusk, in order to match the horror color of the killing game, it deliberately created a dark and weird atmosphere.

Maybe the reason was strengthened in the system-Mu Qin spent 10,000 points to buy that skill, and then used all the remaining points to strengthen his physical fitness, he filled his agility value, It increased from 7 to 10, and this actually cost 3,000 bonus points. It is equal to a thousand reward points which is a little strengthening value.

After filling up with agility, Mu Qin obviously felt that he was too light, and he felt that he seemed to have a pair of wings on his back.

He started looking around.

This is indeed an abandoned amusement park. He appeared in front of a kiosk in this amusement park. He was next to the small house of the kiosk. The kiosk opened the door and there were lockers for the goods. The glass of the locker was also shattered, and the entire canteen was too shattered at first glance.

Although all the things in the kiosk were tattered, Mu Qin noticed that there was a picture hanging inside the kiosk's house, a picture with a snake cross sign.

Then Mu Qin looked elsewhere, Mu Qin saw a huge Ferris wheel not far away, but the Ferris wheel seemed to be very old, rusty, not to mention, the Ferris wheel was even covered with creepers-a kind of Your entire house has turned into green scary plants.

There is a carousel further afield, that carousel is actually active! The lantern is on, and the cheerful music of jingle bells is also playing. The Trojan is slowly spinning along with the music.

Mu Qin glanced at the Ferris wheel and the merry-go-round, and turned his head to the area behind him. There was also a wide but dark area behind him, and the whole area was dark.

Mu Qin thought: This place is very big, it seems that it will take a lot of time to explore.
