"Is this the truth?" Muqin was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Zhou Yue nodded and continued to smile: "Of course it is the truth, I will never deceive you, Mu Qin."

Mu Qin doesn't know much about the specific settings of this so-called killing game. He only knows roughly that it is a terrible game where five players try their best to avoid a killer. But now this so-called "killer" is standing in front of Mu Qin. Mu Qin is sure that Zhou Yue will not hurt himself, but he can't imagine Zhou Yue hurting others.

"If you were a killer, would you kill me?" Mu Qin asked Zhou Yue very bluntly. He didn't seem to know what euphemism was.

So Zhou Yue gave the most intuitive answer: "I will."

Mu Qin was stunned for a moment. Zhou Yue saw Mu Qin's astonishment, so he approached Mu Qin and touched Mu Qin's chin: "Don't you think I won't kill you?"

Mu Qin did not ask stupid questions such as "Why are you killing me?" He thought for a while, and seemed to have thought of something, so he squinted at Zhou Yue and said: "Then what should I do to get Don't you kill me?"

Zhou Yue didn't answer, he smiled, brought his face closer, and gently rubbed his lips against Mu Qin's lips. The ambiguous movements filled the air with a fascination. Then Zhou Yue held Mu Qin's waist in one hand, lowered his head and took a bite on Mu Qin's neck.

When Zhou Yue bit Mu Qin's neck, his mouth was a bit heavy. Mu Qin himself couldn't see it, but he felt that Zhou Yue's tooth mark must have been left on his neck. This conjecture made Mu Qin a little bit ashamed.

Zhou Yue whispered softly in Muqin's ear: "The mechanics of this game require that the killer must kill all other players. Because. If I don't kill, the one who died is me."

Mu Qin understood immediately: "It means that if you don't act, you will be obliterated by something else?"

"I will be directly eliminated by the game system." Zhou Yue hugged Mu Qin with joy, and was not ready to let go. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, but I don't know why, this reunion didn't seem strange at all. , On the contrary, became more intimate. When held by Zhou Yue in this way, Mu Qin could always recall the youthful past that they once shared.

The days when they went to school, played ball, traveled together in high school, and did shameful things in the hotel.

Zhou Yue was quite patient, and began to briefly introduce Mu Qin about the detailed settings and content of this killing game.

Zhou Yue said: "The game we are in is called Frontier World. It is said to be a crevice world between death and dreams. It is designed to accommodate the undead of the dead in this world and throw them into the border world after resurrection. After finishing a map, the escaped player will be sent to a safe house. Inside the safe house is a virtual computer with a surreal sci-fi style. The computer’s opening remark is: “Welcome to the border world”."

"How did the frontier world appear? Who created it? We don’t know about these...Of course, even if we know it, it’s useless. This magical power that can bring people back to life, this terrible world The truth is not something we foolish mortals can easily set foot in, nor do we have the power to change the world. We have only one purpose in this world, which is to live by unscrupulous means."

"Live, and then?" Muqin asked, "If we live, can we return to the real world that belonged to us?"

Mu Qin's question caused Zhou Yue to ponder for a while, and replied: "It is said that it is possible."

"...It's said?" This vague word caught Muqin's attention.

"Yes, it is said." Zhou Yue looked at Mu Qin seriously, "I have never seen anyone who can really escape. Most people will perform well in the subsequent maps even after passing the novice level. Luckily survived, but after five or six maps in the reincarnation, there is still no hope of escape, and psychologically it has begun to be on the verge of collapse. Once the mind collapses, death will be inevitable."

"In various places in the safe house, such as walls, floors, tables and chairs, etc., you can see the marks left by other players."

"It is said that there is only one safe house in the border world. All players will come to the same safe house after finishing the map. If you write on the wall, that word can be interpreted by other players. Although it will be quickly eliminated by the self-repair function of the safe house, this is almost the only way that players and players can communicate with each other in this game."

"From the marks left by these players, I learned that this game can escape and return to the real world, but this is just word of mouth from others. Who escaped? There is no real conclusion on how to escape."

Mu Qin can understand some other deep meanings from Zhou Yue's words, and this meaning makes Mu Qin inexplicably creepy. Mu Qin said, "What about you? Since you know so clearly, then you are here. How long have you been in the game?"

"I don't remember." Zhou Yue still looked at Mu Qin with a deep gaze, "I have been here for a long time."

Mu Qin couldn’t imagine Zhou Yue’s feeling when he said this. He reached out his hand to touch Zhou Yue’s face, and his tone revealed a somewhat imperceptible panic: "I don’t understand, Zhou Yue... does this mean? Are you in a very bad situation?"

"At least after I met you, it won't be bad anymore." At this time, Zhou Yue still had the heart to talk sweetly to Mu Qin, and he held Mu Qin's waist and rubbed him against Mu Qin. After a while, Zhou Yue’s tone suddenly became heavy, “I’ve been alive until now, in fact, what I have always thought of is that I can go out to meet you. When I was still in the real world, I was hit by a stray bullet while confronting terrorists. I lost consciousness on the way to the hospital. Before I died, I thought that I didn’t have time to find you. Why didn’t I go to you earlier? Just think about it..."

Zhou Yue started to tremble as he spoke. He hugged Mu Qin tighter, and finally revealed a trace of pain and sorrow: "Mu Qin, if only time can go back, it would be great. Go back to our high school. One year, I must keep you before you leave. Even if I give up everything, I will hold you tightly by my side and will not let you go anywhere."

"Zhou Yue." Mu Qin called out Zhou Yue's name and hugged his back with his backhand. He felt Zhou Yue's body trembling, and he couldn't help feeling sore, but he couldn't say a word.

The two people hugged each other for a long time before Zhou Yue came to his senses and smiled and said: "I miss you so much, Mu Qin...really miss you."

"I'm sorry." Muqin's nose became sore when he heard this.

"I said this, not to make you feel guilty." Zhou Yue gently shook his head, "So don't say sorry to me, you are not wrong, I am too useless."

Mu Qin said sadly: "But you eventually became like this because of my departure."

"Many people will leave, and many people are reuniting, and I am just trying to reunite with you. I am so stupid, stupid to die easily." Zhou Yue took Mu Qin's hand, "I have been looking forward to it. Meeting with you, although I can see it today, it makes me very happy, but I still hope to see you in the real world."

"I'm sorry, Zhou Yue." Mu Qin finally couldn't help it. He stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, his voice was choked, "I left without saying goodbye, I'm really sorry."

Zhou Yue reluctantly touched Mu Qin's head: "Don't be sorry for what you said."

After a while, Zhou Yue said: "I'll continue to tell you about the things in this game, and finally see the above, I can't bear to let you cry all the time."

Mu Qin wiped his eyes and said, "I didn't cry."

"Your eyes are red." Zhou Yue seemed very happy to see Mu Qin crying, so he leaned over to kiss Mu Qin's eyes, "I like you, Mu Qin, so don't cry."

"The role of the killer in the game is not fixed, and at the beginning of each game, each player will be randomly assigned a tarot card." Zhou Yue continued to explain some in-game settings to Muqin "You should have it. At the beginning of the game, you will find a tarot card in your pocket."

Mu Qin reached out and took out his Fool's Tarot card from his pocket after hearing the words: "Is it this?"

Zhou Yue glanced at Muqin's card, nodded and said: "This tarot card is actually a prop card, I think you should guess it."

"I do think it is an item card, but I haven't figured out how to use it." Mu Qin took the Fool's card and pondered it. It seemed that Mu Qin didn't feel anything unusual about this card.

Zhou Yue said: "The Fool’s card is the starting card, which means starting from scratch. It is also an exploration card. It will lead you in the right direction. It’s so complicated. In fact, this card is to help you find The exits and props are used in the same way as a compass. You hold it and turn around in place. If the pattern on the card surface lights up when you aim at a random direction, it means there are hidden exits and props in that direction."

When Zhou Yue said this, Mu Qin instantly understood, and he really took his Fool's card and turned it around. When it was pointed in a certain direction, Mu Qin found that the pattern on the Fool's card was slightly shiny. He stopped turning his head and raised his head to look in this direction... It seemed to be the direction of the church.

"The Fool’s card is the easiest card for novices, because most newcomers can’t figure out the danger they are in. It’s best to use such a card to guide them in the right direction. But after passing the novice level , This card is very difficult to get."

Zhou Yue continued: "Six players are fixed in each game. Among these six players, one of them will get the ‘Death Card’ randomly."

"Reaper card?" Muqin felt that he vaguely grasped the point.

Zhou Yue glanced at Mu Qin meaningfully, and said with a smile: "There is a card representing the'Reaper' in the Tarot Major Arcana. The person who gets this card will become a killer. This card It has the effect of disguising itself, if I show it to you..."

Speaking of Zhou Yue, he actually took out a tarot card and showed Mu Qin a glance. Then Mu Qin was surprised to find that Zhou Yue had taken out the same Fool's card.

"This card will automatically be disguised as the face of other tarot cards. This is to hide my identity as a killer. Its disguise is indistinguishable from the naked eye, but it can only be disguised and cannot be used. It has the same effect as other tarot cards." Zhou Yue said, "The death card has only one effect. It makes me a **** of death...that is, it makes me immortal."

Mu Qin was a little shocked: "Isn't it a resurrection?"

"It's immortality." Zhou Yue emphasized the difference, and at the same time, he played the tarot cards in his hand, letting the light paper fly up and down with his fingers, "It will give me terrible self-repair ability, right I am immune to pain and anesthesia. Any injury can be recovered with my will. At the same time, my body functions are greatly improved, so that I can reach the realm of immortality."

After that, Zhou Yue shook his head: "But the tarot cards in every game are disposable items. If I don't draw the death card in the next game, there will be no such power."

Mu Qin touched his chin and thought: "That said, at least you are invincible in this game."

"Yes, the killers in the game are invincible. You can cause temporary damage to him, but he will quickly recover in a short time to continue chasing you." Zhou Yue said with a wry smile: "But it's not without restraint The method of killer, for example, there is a card called'trial' in the tarot card. This is a card specially used for killer. If used for killer, it will make the killer lose the ability to act for a long time."
