Mu Qin told Peng Zhe that those who pursued and killed Mu Qin wanted to get this blank tarot card from Mu Qin.
After listening to Mu Qin’s account, Pengzhe had an expression of "You seem to be teasing me", then took the tarot card in Mu Qin's hand and looked at it carefully. Finally, he returned the card to Mu. Qin said, "Anyway, I can't see the mystery of this card. It's too common. It can be torn off with a single tap. Why would the group chase you for this card?"
Mu Qin smiled bitterly: "If I tell you, the statement that'they are chasing me for this card' is completely guessed by me, would you still believe me?"
"Conjecture..." Pengzhe looked at Mu Qin in surprise, "What do you mean by this, why don't I understand?"
"I don't have any evidence to prove that they checked my home, checked Zhou Yue's ward, and even drove an Audi to kill me in order to find this tarot card." Muqin tried his best. Briefly express what I mean to Pengzhe, "I mean, the idea of'They chased me for this card' is my personal speculation and my own feeling. I think they came to me for this card. Brand, although this idea is inexplicable, but I don’t know why...I just believe it."
"In other words, it’s just your intuition. You shouldn’t know who those people are and why those people are chasing you down. You don’t know these, but you chase them down and kill you inexplicably. The blame is on such an ordinary white card, right?" Peng Zhe finally understood what Mu Qin meant.
Mu Qin nodded: "Yes, it's amazing, right, I don't even understand why, it feels like...the kind of unspeakable, something in my subconscious dominates my thinking. ."
Pengzhe listened to Mu Qin's narration, thought for a while, and finally came up with an idea: "Are you being hypnotized?"
"Hinting?" Once Pengzhe's statement was put forward, Muqin felt an inexplicable sense of horror: "Why do you think so?"
"I think this is totally a kind of spiritual hint." Peng Zhe said, "The average person is tracked down and killed, and he will find out the cause from various aspects. He will think that maybe it is because of his previous sins. Maybe it is Some mistakes made unintentionally led to the scourge of death, but you didn’t think about these things, and you just thought that the reason for the other party’s chasing you down was this card... Isn’t it like some kind of spiritual hint? "
"I don't think I was ‘suggested’." Muchin put the card in his hand into his pocket.
Peng Zhe continued: "People who have been hinted by the spirit generally do not know that they have been hinted like this."
Mu Qin shook his head slightly: "I'm serious, Peng Zhe. If you are Xu Haoyu's subordinates, you should know what status I have before. Normal spiritual hints have little effect on me, and...no matter how godly It is impossible for me to blame all the reasons on a white card in a short period of time because of the spiritual hints of its skills, because this idea is very anti-logical, and this kind of anti-logical hints usually will not succeed."
Pengzhe does know Muqin's former identity.
As far as Peng Zhe knows, some departments, occasionally the more mysterious and special departments above, will specifically look for those soldiers who have no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason in the team, such as Muqin is the best. Choosing, they let these soldiers enter a special organization, specially trained for two or three years, and trained as... spies.
This kind of person does not need many excellent combat qualities. It is enough to know several weapons and basic fighting methods. The key is psychological quality and some intelligence gathering skills, reconnaissance and counter reconnaissance, interrogation and counter interrogation, criminal investigation diplomacy Psychology, according to different departments, the mastery of these skills will be different.
Of course, even after these trainings, some soldiers did not continue to serve in this kind of department in the end, such as Muqin. In the end, he returned to his hometown and became an ordinary person in a small city.
However, the knowledge he has learned and the training he has received are still engraved in his bones, which will bring him many conveniences. As he said just now, Mu Qin’s excellent mental qualities are destined for Mu Qin. Will not be defeated by simple spiritual hints, so the speculation of spiritual hints does not hold.
"This is why you are always so calm." Peng Zhe sighed, "No matter how dangerous the situation, you seem to give people a feeling of being too calm."
"It is not a good thing to be too calm." Muqin said, "Sometimes the panic that should be expressed is not expressed, but it will lead to suspicion."
Peng Zhe originally planned to chat with Mu Qin for a while, but when Peng Zhe was about to say something, a policeman suddenly approached him and called Mu Qin's name. Mu Qin raised his head to respond and saw a policeman in a police uniform with his head down. Standing at the end of the corridor, he called Mu Qin's name and asked Mu Qin to "come here."
Mu Qin didn't know what was going on. He thought he was going to be interrogated about the car accident, so he stood up and said to Pengzhe beside him: "Wait for me."
Then Muchin walked towards the policeman.
Just when Mu Qin walked in front of the police officer, the police officer turned around and walked into a room. He signaled Mu Qin to follow. Mu Qin followed honestly. As soon as he entered the house, the police officer The door of the house was closed.
Muqin took a look at this small room. It should be a room specially used for interrogating prisoners. Except for a door, there is only a vent in the corner of the ceiling above the head. There is a table and a table in the center of the room. A chair, nothing else.
Mu Qin feels a little strange, this is just a car accident, as to bring him into this kind of interrogation room? And there was only one policeman who brought him in, and it seemed that he was going to talk to Muqin alone.
The policeman who brought Mu Qin in over there still lowered his head, pulled away the chair and said to Mu Qin, "Please sit down."
Mu Qin went over and sat down without knowing it, while the police officer walked across the table and opened the chair to sit down. The policeman was also a little strange in his actions. He kept his head down and he wore something on his head. The police cap covered most of his face. He seemed normal, and Mu Qin didn't feel any uncomfortable breath from him.
But as soon as he sat down, Muqin began to feel that this small interrogation room began to be filled with cold and gloomy, making this narrow space suffocating.
Muchinton felt bad, and asked the police officer: "Is there anything you called me here?"
The police officer put his hands on the table, still lowered his head, and spoke slowly: "I want something from you."
Muqin felt that his mind was a little confused when he heard this sentence. He was vaguely guessing the identity of the police officer in front of him. He knew that those who pursued him might be a group, but this group Why can there be such a sky-reaching ability to get into the police station, or to say that there are undercover agents in the police station?
"I want the card on you, the card you got from Zhou Yue, I know it's on you, give it to me." The police officer's tone became a little hastily, but he was still low. Muqin could only see his lips moving up and down.
Mu Qin lied routinely at first, and asked to divert his attention: "I don't understand what you mean, what card? And... how do you know Zhou Yue?"
The policeman seemed to have no endurance at all. As soon as Mu Qin finished speaking, the other party yelled: "I said give me the card on you! Are you deaf!?"
He yelled, and finally raised his head, raised his head grimly, his face looked completely strange to Muqin, but his eyes...
That is a pair of pure black eyes!
No matter the pupil iris or the white part of the eye, it is all a pitch-black eye, as black as if it has been hollowed out, leaving only a black hole in the eye socket. The other party looked at Mu Qin with such eyes, this Mu Qin It was taken aback. Even though Muchin was so calm, he couldn't keep his usual calm after seeing such a super-realistic thing.
So Muqin stood up abruptly from his seat, stood up and stepped back a few steps, and retreated to the door behind him. His keen intuition made him feel that the man in police uniform in front of him... Like a monster in human skin.
Moreover, the other party exuded murderous intent. The man stood up and stretched out his hand to his waist. Muqin saw that there was a holster hanging from his waist. Inside was a police standard pistol. He moved quickly, quickly drew the pistol, and immediately aimed at Muchin's head.
"You don't have to give it to me." The monster said in a low and hoarse voice, "I can take it from your corpse."
Obviously, the other party did not intend to negotiate with Mu Qin at all. Mu Qin knew that he had a murderous intention by seeing his actions, and suddenly felt bad. Mu Qin was absolutely incapable of avoiding pistol bullets at close range. The speed of the bullets was too fast. , As long as the opponent aims at Mu Qin's head, Mu Qin will undoubtedly die.
So at this moment, Mu Qin felt that his thinking was blank. He didn't understand how things got to this point, why he was easily forced into death and end, obviously he didn't do anything. , Obviously he just wants to be with the person he loves most.
On the other side, Peng Zhe sat in a chair and waited for Mu Qin to come back, and waited. A policeman came next to him. When he saw Peng Zhe, he said strangely: "Where is your friend?"
Peng Zhe was also a little strange after hearing this: "Didn't you call him away?"
"If you want to call, I also ask you two together. How could you call someone away alone." The policeman shook his head inexplicably, "We just turned out the traffic surveillance video on that section of the road, and want to ask you to come together. ……"
Peng Zhe’s face suddenly changed with this police officer’s words. He suddenly stood up, and quickly walked in the direction where Mu Qin was called to go, leaving the policeman in the same place confused, and then quickly. Pengzhe kept up and said, "Wait, where are you going? The interrogation room over there..."
Pengzhe turned a deaf ear to the police's call, and walked directly to the door of the interrogation room, shouting Muqin's name loudly. He reached for the doorknob and just wanted to push the door when he heard a gunshot from a distance.
The gunshot frightened Peng Zhe and the police around him for a moment. Peng Zhe immediately reacted and suddenly opened the door of the interrogation room, and he saw the policeman who called Mu Qin away standing inside. Holding a pistol, the muzzle is still smoking.
Peng Zhemai stepped to lower his head and looked at the door, and he saw Mu Qin lying on the ground against the wall, limp and motionless, his face covered with blood.
Peng Zhe felt that his heart had missed a beat, and he immediately squatted down and pressed Mu Qin's shoulder, and shouted anxiously: "Mu Qin!"
The policeman who followed Pengzhe also recovered from a daze, and then took a gun at the policeman on the opposite side, and yelled at him: "Axu! What are you doing!?"
And the policeman who was called "Axu" and shot Mu Qin just now, his eyes are no longer as dark as Mu Qin saw just now, and they have restored normal eyes. His expression also seemed very dazed. He stared blankly at the smoking pistol in his hand, and then blankly at Muqin who fell on the ground, as well as his companion who was holding the gun at him. He seemed to be completely confused about the situation.
"I..." A Xu only suffocated one word. He put down the gun and scratched the back of his head strangely, "What did I do just now?"
Due to professionalism, even though Axu is a companion who has been working with him all the time, when the policeman next to Pengzhe saw him put down the gun, he rushed forward quickly, grabbed his arm and knocked out his hand. Pistol, and put him down on the table in the interrogation room.
Immediately after the other policemen and staff in the police station who heard the gunfire rushed to the interrogation room following the gunfire.
……
"Welcome to the fringe world, here is the gap between **** and dream."
Mu Qin was in a daze when he heard a soft female voice resounding in his ears. He opened his eyes and found that he was standing in a large white room with a relatively large space.
A square white room with an area of about 100 square meters. The walls, floors and ceilings are all white, without windows and doors, it is an independent space completely enclosed.
In the middle of this white room, there is a virtual computer similar to that in a surreal science fiction movie, which is the kind of screen that projects a 3D screen and floats in mid-air. Some scenes are playing on this projection screen. When Mu Qin looks closely, he will find that they are the scenes of his death.
Mu Qin in the screen is sitting on the ground, his back leaning against the wall, his body is limp, his body is scarred and wrapped in some gauze bandages, but his face is full of blood.
Pengzhe knelt beside him, pressed Muqin's shoulder, and shouted at him anxiously and silently.
Mu Qin looked at the picture played on this virtual screen, and felt a little confused in his mind. He said to himself in confusion: "Am I dead?"
"Only the dead can enter the fringe world." At the moment when Muqin muttered to himself, a soft...but full of mechanical female voice came out on the virtual screen. "This is the **** and the dream Edge."
"What do you mean by the edge of **** and dreams?" Muqin didn't quite understand, and asked again.
The female voice answered Muqin calmly and patiently: "It means this world is connected to **** and dreams."
Mu Qin felt a little confused: "Connecting **** and dreams, is **** the kind of hell? The kind of place where people who commit crimes go?"
"Yes." The female voice continued to answer patiently.
"What about the dream?" Muqin asked, "What does it mean to be connected to the dream?"
The female voice said: "People in the real world will peek into the edge of the world in dreams, and we... can also observe people in the real world through dreams."
Mu Qin suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence, and he was surprised: "It means that we,'dead', can carry out dreams? Tell people in the real world what we want to express through dreams, right? ?"
The female voice said: "If you can do it, of course you can do it."
"Then how can I do it?" Muqin asked the female voice.
"I can't tell you this. I can only provide you with the services you need in the game and answer some of your basic questions." The female voice is still soft and pleasant, like a bird chirping in the spring, with crisp The voice sang a long melody.
"The game..." Mu Qin recalled this vaguely. He said in a daze, "Yes, it's a game... I went through a game. I escaped. I should be teleported to the safe house. ...Is this a safe house?"
The female voice replied to Muqin: "This is a safe house in the fringe world."
Mu Qin felt a little horrified. He stretched out his hand and hugged his head, "No...Nothing, I was still in the real world just now. I was with Peng Zhe, we were at the police station, and I was gunned down. Point to your head..."
Mu Qin couldn’t help shaking his head to try to sort out his thoughts. He felt that he had forgotten something, but he seemed to remember all those forgotten things. He continued to ask the female voice: "All finished the game , The humans who escaped from the map should be sent to the safe house immediately, right!?"
"Yes, every player will be able to be teleported to this safe house the moment they escape from the map."
"That's not right!" Mu Qin pointed his finger at the virtual screen in front of him, pointing to the scene of his death on the screen, "I was there just now, I was there! In the interrogation room of the police station! I escaped from the map, but I returned to the real world. What happened! Didn’t you say that only the dead can enter this world?"
"Only the dead can enter the fringe world." The female voice did not reveal impatience. Her voice was still sweet, but she repeated this sentence, "You are dead, so you are here. You did not Back to the real world."
"I remember very clearly!" Muqin was in confusion and couldn't help but exclaimed, "I advanced to the game, and returned to reality after escaping from the map, and then came to this safe house after being attacked! Did not die before!"
The female voice repeats without hesitation: "Only the dead can enter the marginal world. You are dead, so you will appear here."
Mu Qin almost laughed: "Then you mean I died twice, right?"
The female voice said mechanically: "I can't answer your question. You can ask about other events, or inquire about the rewards you get in the game, or buy the props you need in the mall, or strengthen your skills and physical fitness."
Mu Qin understands that this female voice is just an artificial intelligence-like existence. She will only answer some questions that Mu Qin can answer within her limits, and will only serve Mu Qin game-related things. Others, what is she? Will never tell Muqin. "
