A crisp sound suddenly fell.

The pointer of the black watch moved from 0 to 1.

Chapter 22: Let's start from zero here!

Where...is this place?

The end of the memory is endless pain and almost crazy despair.

And when the pain is over, what you feel is endless falling, falling towards the bottom of nowhere in the infinite darkness.

Until the body touches something.

Maybe the ground?

Maybe another nightmare?

Until consciousness wakes up again from the chaos.

Until I open my eyes again and look around.

What I see is a brightly lit city.

Pedestrians come and go on the streets, wearing all kinds of clothes and showing all kinds of expressions.

Cars drive silently, stop at traffic lights, or move forward.

Tall billboards light up colorful lights, projecting a bit of psychedelic charm.

Under the night, everything looks orderly.

This seems to be a bustling city, an ordinary big city with nothing special.

It's just that I can't hear any sound.

Gao Hai, who was standing in the center of the city square, couldn't hear any sound.

He opened his mouth, smiled and spoke.

The lights of the cars were on, flashing, and maybe there were horns?

The pictures on the advertisements were constantly changing, and I didn't know if there were any corresponding sounds.

And Gao Hai couldn't hear any of these.

This is a silent city.

A city that was almost silent and without any sound.

Where exactly is this place?

Why can't I hear any sound?

"Ah..."

In his hazy consciousness, Gao Hai made a sound subconsciously.

It was very clear that he could hear his own voice clearly at once.

So he realized that he could still hear the sound.

He just couldn't hear the sound of this city, that's all.

[……]

Everyone on the street stopped.

All the cars stopped at this moment.

Even the figures on the billboards stopped moving and turned their heads to look over.

"This is not a city..."

Mumbling, Gao Hai gradually regained consciousness and looked around again.

The ground was full of corpses, and those terrified expressions had not yet stiffened, but the dark red blood had already covered the ground.

The blood-red color gradually covered the sky, just as the sky reflected the color of the ground, spreading the fishy light.

The broken city was on fire, and there was no sound of any living creature struggling in the ruins.

The vitality here had long been cut off.

Everything has been sacrificed.

Everything has ended.

Everything has ended.

They are just waiting for the next target...

Dang!

The crisp sound of the bell rang on one side of the dead city.

Gao Hai raised his head and looked at the source of the sound. He saw the huge clock tower and the dark pointer, which slowly moved from the 12 o'clock position to 1 o'clock.

At this moment, Gao Hai suddenly felt that something had been taken away from him. It was like things that originally belonged to him, like fingers and eyeballs, like heart and blood vessels, no longer belonged to him completely from this moment on.

Ding!!

In the second crisp bell ringing, Gao Hai reached out and gently covered his ears.

He gradually understood.

He understood what happened to him, and understood what he would face.

"There are still... 11 times?"

Before the pointer reached the end, he was allowed to have 11 lives.

So that's it, is that so?

Even if he died, he could come back again.

Even if everything was irreversible, he could reverse everything and start over.

The remaining number was 11. Before the number returned to zero and the pointer completed a circle, he still had 11 opportunities to overthrow everything and start over.

And when he had used up all his opportunities, this phantom-like ghost city would no longer be a phantom, but a grave that would keep him forever and would not give him any chance to escape, becoming his final destination.

Ding!!!

The third bell rang loudly.

Gao Hai had already raised his head and looked around, at the people who were walking around again, as if they were still alive, at this city that was nowhere to be found, but was actually dead but still pretending to be alive.

"After all this time, the cheat of the protagonist like me, can only be triggered after dying once?"

Gao Hai laughed softly.

He struggled desperately for such a long time.

In the end, he had no choice but to face the end of total destruction.

But at this last moment, he had the opportunity to start over.

What? Don't you think this development is old-fashioned?

"To be honest, I don't really like this kind of desperate turn of events, but since it happened to me, I'll just accept it with a smile."

"After all, even if it is a cruel hope, it is still hope."

I always feel a little 486.

But even for the protagonist in 486, there is no situation where the number of times to return to the game is strictly limited, and he will be killed after using up the number of times, right?

Of course, this kind of thing is not important now.

All he has to do is to change everything that happened before.

The bloody city gradually melted away.

Everything was returning to darkness.

And he knew that this was a sign that he was about to start over.

"I don't like anything deep and depressing, I don't like the dark and cruel style that pretends to be profound."

Gao Hai said to himself, as if he wanted to imprint these words into his consciousness.

"Especially the kind of thing that dies for the sake of death, and deliberately kills the sister to prove the truth, I think each one is more disgusting than the other."

"Isn't it enough to just have some simple happy and healing plots? The bad guys get the punishment they deserve, and the good guys get the beauty they deserve. Even if it sounds a little fake, so what? Let yourself live a happier life, what's wrong with that."

"Damn it, isn't it just a rule story? Come on, I want to create a happy world without Old Kyon and Brother Kawaba!!!"

The darkness faded at this moment.

A familiar stale smell spread.

Gao Hai sat up from the tattered bed, and next to him was Kaguya, who also opened her eyes and immediately showed a defensive posture.

At this moment, the game in Shirakawa Apartment had just begun, and everyone had listened to the prompts of the strange voice. This was the very beginning.

No one had used the wall clock yet.

No one had died, turned into a monster, or been frozen.

"Yo."

Gao Hai got up from the bed and imitated the JO family in a slightly shameful posture. He turned his back to Kaguya, tilted his head back, and supported his nose with one hand at a slightly twisted angle. The other hand passed through the middle of this hand and pointed at Kaguya, while raising one foot.

"Well done, you are the one with the best quality among the newcomers this time. Well, as expected, I wanted to say this sentence a long time ago."

Gao Hai, who had satisfied his desire to show off, looked satisfied.

And Kaguya, who was still cautious just now, couldn't help but be stunned, and for a moment she couldn't understand what was going on.

Was I kidnapped by a psychopath?

Chapter 23: Some things are hard to hide after all

"Don't worry, the Dusk level mission is the lowest difficulty mission. As long as we can work together, we can get through it smoothly."

Old Guo said seriously with a smile, but Green beside him frowned.

He was not like the black guy who read too many Chinese online novels, thinking that this was some kind of infinite flow adventure, and wanted to follow Old Guo, an [old player], to adventure together. Humph, he is not a fool.

As an extremely lucky guy, when he was selected by the sacrifice game for the first time, he met three top players who used special props to form a team to enter the novice game for investigation, and ended up playing the whole game in a muddle. Green didn't know anything else, but he could still distinguish between the old players who were really capable and willing to help others, and the guys with ulterior motives. Although he was not well educated, he was able to distinguish a person's strengths and weaknesses, and whether a person was good or bad, as he had been hanging around at the bottom of society since he was a child.

As for Lao Guo, who looks very friendly but has basically no micro-expressions or micro-reactions, and whose real emotions are completely undetectable, Green will never approach him or team up with him. In his opinion, this kind of guy is mostly an old fox hiding his tail, and he might become a victim at any time.

If you want to hug a thigh, you have to see what thigh it is. Only the old players who will not take the lives of newcomers to explore the way are worth making friends with. Even if this kind of big guy may be disdainful of newcomers and is not willing to help at all, at least there is no need to worry about the danger from the human camp. At most, you will behave more like a licking dog.

So, let's observe and see if there are any other powerful players coming out.

Thinking of this, Green leaned against the door of Room 209 behind him, which was the room where he woke up, and looked around to observe the surrounding situation.

The first person to come out was a middle-aged man in Room 206. It is impossible to tell whether he is Chinese, Japanese or somewhere else, but as long as he is not a cosmic Chinese, it doesn't matter. However, he looked like a novice, and people of this age often find it difficult to adapt to such an emergency and dangerous situation as the rule ghost story, and it is estimated that it is difficult for him to survive.

Green said nothing and continued to observe other rooms.

Creaking——

With the sound of pushing the door, a door opened at this time.

"The lock of this door is broken."

Accompanied by a sighing voice, a tall and young man who seemed to be still a student, but with a strong body, walked out of the door of 204.

His eyes swept across the corridor, just glanced at the three people already in the corridor, and then turned to the diagonal opposite of 204, the door of 208, which was also opened at this time, and the four vigilant looking princess who just walked out of it.

"Another newcomer?"

The man whispered so that Green could not help but start to pay attention to the other party.

"You are..."

Shijo Shinki was a little confused. Although the man in front of her didn't seem to be anything special, she noticed a slight change in his expression when she first saw him. It seemed that he was about to show some kind of expression, but he suppressed it before that.
