"Dad!" Little Mu Qin, who was only four or five years old, pushed the door into the study from the outside, trotted and jumped, and then fell on his adoptive father Mu Xuan's lap.

Mu Xuan was practicing the piano, and when he saw such a little carrot head lying on his back, he couldn't help but smile softly. He stopped playing, picked up Muqin, and let him sit on his lap.

Mu Qin sat in Mu Xuan’s arms, poked his head out of curiosity and looked at the black and white keys in front of him. He subconsciously reached out and touched the smooth and cold keys, but didn’t dare to touch them too much. He just touched it. , So he put his little hand back.

Seeing the child so cautiously, Mu Xuan smiled again, grabbed Xiao Muqin's paws, put his little hands on the keys, and said at the same time: "Is it okay for Dad to teach you to play the piano?"

Little Muqin was innocent, raised his furry head and looked at Mu Xuan, nodding vigorously and saying, "Okay."

Although Mu Xuan said that he was going to teach him to play the piano, Mu Qin was too young at the time, only under five years old. He was a lively and cheerful little carrot head and did not have much discrimination and learning ability. When Mu Xuan tried to press a certain key, he asked Mu Qin to follow his actions to press the key he pressed, but the little Mu Qin pressed the wrong key, and the child jabbed another key at random. , The piano immediately made a loud and harsh sound, scared the child to shiver, and shrank into Mu Xuan's arms.

Mu Xuan felt funny, and stretched out his hand to squeeze the child's face. The child grabbed Mu Xuan's clothes and shouted: "Dad...you play, you play, you play nice!"

"Then dad will play the piano for you. You sit still and don't move, okay?" Mu Xuan gently whispered to the child.

Little Muqin nodded vigorously and muttered: "Play the piano!"

Mu Xuan pressed the child’s head, and then kissed him on the cheek. Then he sat up straight and began to play the piano. His fingers were long and white, like butterflies dancing on the keys of a piano. Or the white keyboard hovered left and right, and then the beautiful music was born between his hands. The tune was long and mellow, like the sound of insects and birds in the mountains and forests.

After the song was over, Mu Xuan just wanted to continue teasing the little carrot head in his arms, and his wife's voice sounded outside. Mu Xuan’s wife’s name was Shi Shilan, and there seemed to be something, Shi Shilan shouted: "Mu Xuan, come here for a minute!"

Mu Xuan had to hold the little Mu Qin in his arms to get up, then put Mu Qin on the chair in front of the piano, and said to Mu Qin: "Baby, Dad is going to help mom. You can play here. Play the piano, okay?"

Little baby Mu Qin nodded obediently, and said with great popularity: "Go, Dad, Mu Qin can play alone!"

Mu Xuan is not worried that this child will play the piano badly, because Xiao Muqin is a cute and obedient child. He has **** eyes, small pink nose, rosy lips, and a fat baby face. It was so cute that Mu Xuan was itchy, so he leaned over and kissed Mu Qin’s little cheek. After rubbing the soft hair on Mu Qin’s head, Mu Xuan got up and left the study and went out to look for it. His wife went.

Leave Muqin to sit at the piano alone.

He is too small. Even when sitting on the piano chair, the keys are still level with his sight, and his small arms are short and out of reach.

So Muqin kicked off his shoes, leaned on the chair to get up, and then stood swayingly on the piano chair. If he was standing, he could indeed reach the keys, but the keys seemed too low. , Pressing a key he needs to bend slightly, which is not convenient and uncomfortable, so Xiao Muqin constantly changes his posture, and finally chooses to kneel on the piano chair.

This makes it more comfortable.

Mu Qin was very happy, and began to follow the steps of his adoptive father to press those keys one by one. However, his musical talent was terribly terrifying. After pressing a few keys, the piano made a messy sound, and Mu Xuan just now The beautiful and moving tones are completely different.

Little Muqin doesn't quite understand why this is. Why can dad play so nicely, but he can only make such a bad sound?

"That's because you haven't learned it yet."

Just as Xiao Muqin was thinking like this, a vain female voice suddenly sounded next to him.

Little Muqin turned his head in a daze and looked at the sound source, and found a woman in front of the window next to the piano.

A translucent woman, in a state like a ghost. She was wearing a white dress, bare feet floating slightly off the ground, she has waist-long black hair, and her skirt and hair flowed automatically without wind. Perhaps because of the translucency, she can't see her facial features clearly, and she has a hazy feeling of looking at flowers in the mist.

Little Muqin was not afraid to see such a "translucent female ghost" in vain. He stretched out his hand to the woman and babbled, "Mom!"

Then the child jumped off the piano chair, and climbed down with a rolling belt. As soon as he jumped down, he immediately fell into a dog-style. Fortunately, a fluffy carpet was spread on the floor of the study. Without falling him, he quickly got up and rushed towards the translucent woman.

Women are translucent. Of course Muqin can’t touch her. He seems to know this very well. He doesn’t move forward when he walks in front of the woman. Instead, he sits on the carpet and raises his head to see what is floating. "mom".

"Next time you have to be careful. You can't jump directly from the chair. I can't touch you. I can't catch you." The translucent woman whispered to Muqin. She stretched out her hand as if thinking Touched Muqin's head, but her fingers penetrated Muqin's hair, which seemed to make her very helpless, and then put her hand back.

"Also, don't call my mother in this house, you already have a new mother." The woman continued to Muchin, "I won't come to see you often in the future."

"Mom!" Mu Qin actually didn't quite understand what this translucent woman was talking about. He was very stubborn when he was young and said, "You are a mother!"

"I'm not your mother." The woman shook her head, "It won't be anymore."

"No, you are a mother!" Muqin was very persistent about this question for some reason. When the woman repeatedly denied it, he started crying, crying, "Mom!"

Mu Qin's cry like this immediately caught the attention of Mu Xuan and his old wife Shi Lan outside the house. The two quickly put aside their work and came to the study to comfort Mu Qin. Hearing Mu Qin crying to his mother, Shi Shilan rushed to pick up Mu Qin and touched his head while holding him, softly soothing and saying: "Mom is here, the baby won't cry."

But Mu Qin was still crying, he subconsciously grabbed Shi Shilan's clothes with one hand, and kept calling his mother.

"Mom is here." Shi Shilan touched Mu Qin's head, while wondering: "Why are you crying? Did you knock it somewhere?"

After speaking, Shi Shilan turned to stare at her husband next to him with questioning eyes, and said to Mu Xuan: "What did you do to him just now?"

Mu Xuan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "No, there is absolutely nothing good! Not just now you told me to move things... I just put him on the piano chair and let him play by himself..."

"Put it on the piano chair? He must have fallen on such a high chair! No wonder he would cry!" Shi Shilan hugged Mu Qin left and right, then quarreled with Mu Xuan, reprimanding: "You have a child I can't take care of it!"

Mu Xuan glanced at the soft carpet on the floor, but couldn't refute it, so he had to admit his mistake aggrievedly: "My wife, I was wrong."

Mu Qin didn't cry for a long time. After being comforted by Shi Shilan for a few times, he stopped crying. He looked at Shi Shilan with his big red eyes, and then called his mother to Shi Shilan. , The appearance is still very cute, Shi Shilan couldn't help it, leaned in and kissed Mu Qin, and at the same time happily said: "My babies are so cute."

Mu Qin was kissed with a silly expression on his face, Shi Shilan hugged him and prepared to leave the study, because lunch time was approaching.

But Shi Shilan didn't know, Mu Qin, who was nestled in her arms, lay on her shoulders, staring at the window in the study.

Because the translucent white skirt woman has been standing by the window.

"Mom!" Muqin called to the woman.

It was Shi Shilan who responded. She rubbed Mu Qin's head and said, "The baby is so good."

……

That is a long forgotten memory when I was young.

Mu Qin opened his eyes, and in front of him was a pure white safe house and a system virtual screen suspended in the center of the safe house. On that screen, a unique symbol of the edge world-the snake cross was displayed.

Mu Qin stared at the snake cross for a long time, and then said to himself afterwards: "Ah...I'm here again."

The first time he entered this game, Mu Qin also thought it was because of the psychiatrist He Qiu and his music box. Entering the game for the second time, Muqin thought it was because he was carrying the white card on his body and was shot down by the policeman possessed by the king...

But why is it the third time to enter?

Back to this safe house, Mu Qin remembered lying in Xu Lin's hospital with Zhou Yue sleeping next to him. Their beds were put together and they could sleep next to each other.

When Mu Qin saw Zhou Yue fall asleep, he, who had no memory of the marginal world at the time, fell asleep peacefully while holding Zhou Yue’s hand. The night was very peaceful. The security work of Xu Lin Hospital was not bad, and the door of the ward was also good. They were locked up by the nurse, and Zhou Yue had made an agreement with the king, so the king would no longer possess others to harass them. They should not be in any danger, and they were well protected.

Mu Qin felt that he was in good physical condition before going to bed, and there was no possibility of sudden death during sleep, so he should not have died. He is alive in the real world, and is alive.

Then why did I come in?

Mu Qin lowered his head and thought. The white card was taken away by Zhou Yue. Those two music boxes and crosses were probably "medium" because they had been kept in Pengzhe's bag before, and then Mu Qin was attached. When Pengzhe attacked, Pengzhe held the bag and pressed Muqin's foot on the accelerator, so the two things had been in the car that Muqin had rented.

Later, Mu Qin was sent to Xu Lin’s hospital. Mu Qin asked Xu Haoyu to help return the car, and Xu Haoyu temporarily took away the contents of the car and put it in the hospital locker.

There should be nothing that can serve as a "medium" that can guide Muqin's soul into this world.

But Muchin still came.

Or...Is there any connection between me and the world?

Mu Qin couldn't help thinking like this, and he felt that the direction of this thinking was correct. He was indeed likely to have a strange connection with this world...

Although Mu Qin himself can't remember it a bit, and the early death of his adoptive parents, their departure has always been a shadow in Mu Qin's heart, so Mu Qin has been patient not to remember.

But when he was young, Muqin remembered that he had two "moms."

One is naturally adoptive mother Shilan, the wife of his adoptive father Mu Xuan. This couple has always regarded Mu Qin as a biological child since they adopted Mu Qin. The relationship between Mu Qin and them is naturally very deep, because of the bondage. It was so strong that Muqin couldn't recover for a long time after they left.

As for the other "mother", Muqin can't remember.

Mu Qin did not remember what happened in the orphanage when he was between 0 and 3 years old. When I asked his adoptive parents later, Shilan, the adoptive mother, once said to Mu Qin: "I asked the staff in the hospital and said you When I was in the courtyard, I would often call my mother to empty places."

After the age of three, Mu Qin was officially named "Mu Qin" when he was taken home by his adoptive parents. At first, Xiao Mu Qin was more cautious and unaccustomed. He was very afraid of unfamiliar environments and would not shout. Adoptive parents, parents, although Mu Xuan and Shi Shilan have been patiently guiding, but Mu Qin remained silent until one day, inexplicably, Mu Qin ran to Shi Shilan and called his mother, provoking the Shi Shilan at the time. Lan was so happy that he hugged Mu Qin around three times.

After that, Mu Qin was able to call her adoptive parents as mom and dad very smoothly, and was completely integrated into their family. He was attracted by all kinds of attention and pampering. Now, Mu Qin recalls it, and his memory is full of being with his adoptive parents. The kind of peaceful and occasional happy life full of surprises when we are together.

Although they left later, what they left to Muqin was an indelible wealth. They were the best mentors in Muqin's life, and they also shaped the current Muqin.

Mu Qin is very grateful to his adoptive parents, but occasionally, Mu Qin feels guilty for them.

This sense of guilt didn't know where it came from, but it kept popping up in Muqin's heart. He couldn't find the reason, he just felt sad.

In Mu Qin’s first memory, one of the two mothers was a "ghost mother" who always appeared in front of Mu Qin in a translucent floating posture, except for her beautiful white dress, Mu Qin always looked at Unclear on her face, Mu Qin knew that it was this ghost who brought Mu Qin to Shi Shilan. The ghost pointed at Shi Shilan and said to Mu Qin, "Call me mother."

Mu Qin looked at her puzzled. So the ghost repeated it again: "Hurry up, call her mother! From now on, she will be your only mother."

Mu Qin was just a child at the time, and after being urged several times, he instinctively followed his mother.

But in this title, how many true feelings are there?

After the age of six, the ghost mother disappeared and never appeared in front of Mu Qin again. So in the following time, Mu Qin gradually forgot the ghost mother, and even remembered it when she grew up. He would feel that it was just a kind of illusion in his childhood, a kind of memory that confuses dreams and reality. He does not have a "ghost mother", he only has Shi Shilan as a mother.

Later, Muqin became more and more convinced that what he saw when he was young was just an illusion. He was busy with life and work, and gradually forgot all these things until today.

"Illusion...It's just my illusion." Muqin soothed himself so, he wandered around the system screen in the safe room for several times, and finally felt that he calmed down a little bit, and then returned to the system screen. , Yelled the system.

"Welcome back to the fringe world, the system 3780 will serve you, Mr. Muqin, do you need anything?"

The very familiar female voice of the system, softly and tactfully like a bird's song, Mu Qin somehow relaxed, and said: "Check the result of my last game."

"Checking, please wait..."

"Your last game map was'Despair Paradise'"

"A total of three people died. The killer was victorious. Two humans escaped. You are one of the survivors."

"You got a total of 16877 reward points in the last game, and your remaining rewards are divided into 16,877. You can purchase items or skills at will."

The reward points are much higher than Mu Qin imagined. It actually surprised Mu Qin. After all, he felt that he didn't do anything in the last game... But the last game was a double ghost game, and the mechanism to get bonus points may be obtained. There are some differences from other ordinary games, and in the end, he and Zhou Yue spent a long time in the amusement park, and it seems that they can continue to score points by forming a "chase" with ghosts.

Calculating this way, Mu Qin feels that there are many loopholes in the game's rules and mechanisms.

But it is precisely because there is time to take advantage of it, so some people will become greedy when they get the benefits, and they want to take advantage of the loopholes to get more points, but greed often hurts themselves.

Mu Qin hadn’t figured out how to spend such “money”, he decided to contact Zhou Yue first, so he squatted on the wall where he had talked with Zhou Yue before, and looked at the various items on the wall. All kinds of graffiti and messages.

Some people still paint some strange and messy calligraphy and paintings on the walls, and some people leave messages when they want to make a transaction. Muqin also saw a lot of conversation messages that might be encrypted.

Mu Qin wrote Zhou Yue in seal script as usual, and then waited for Zhou Yue to contact him, but after an hour passed, he waited until his writing on the wall disappeared, and he did not wait until Zhou Yue. 'S reply.

Mu Qin was not in a hurry, he calmly recalled thinking, and then realized that Zhou Yue might still be in a certain game now.

Before, during the confrontation between Zhou Yue and the king, perhaps Mu Qin in the real world was erased from memory and therefore could not understand, but now that Mu Qin thinks back, he can instantly understand what Zhou Yue said at that time meaning.

The reason why Zhou Yue's real world can "wake up" is probably because of some method to make his soul return to the real world for a short time, and it is not difficult to think of this temporary way back. After Mu Qin let go of his thinking, It soon occurred to me that Zhou Yue might have asked a "friend" to help him. He asked his friend to play a "killer" role in a certain game and killed Zhou Yue. After his death, Zhou Yue's soul would naturally return to the present world. Friends can use the Hanged Man to resurrect Zhou Yue, and he can easily pull Zhou Yue back.

Although it is impossible to witness or verify with his own eyes, Muchin can imagine this method.

Knowing that Zhou Yue is playing, Muqin has no other choice but to wait for him to come out.

Muqin asked if the system could stay in the safe house for a few days, and the system replied: three days. So Muqin realized that the time he spent in the real world seemed to be not calculated by the system during the three-day rest period in the safe house.

Three days are very short. Mu Qin was unable to confirm when Zhou Yue was able to get out of the game, so he could only leave messages on the wall every day, waiting for Zhou Yue’s reply, if they were lucky enough. , May be able to contact in the game, if not, then the situation is very bad.

After all, the king on the Butterfly Throne said that Zhou Yue was only given five days, and within five days Zhou Yue had to find a usurper, and let the usurper take the wheel of fortune to find the king to usurp the throne.

But Mu Qin judged that Zhou Yue absolutely lied at the time, so Zhou Yue did not find any usurpers at all. Whether the wheel of fortune was unknown or not, and even Zhou Yue didn’t seem to have the so-called world yet. brand.

What Zhou Yue said at the time was nothing more than to let the king stop harassing them...or simply to protect Muqin. After all, if the king had been chasing Zhou Yue's body, he would definitely be next to Zhou Yue. Mu Qin also caused harm. Zhou Yue estimated that he was afraid that Mu Qin would be harmed. So in order to drive away the king, Zhou Yue put down such a big talk to deceive the king.

Although the king believed it, Muqin, who was familiar with Zhou Yue, knew clearly that he was lying.

Sometimes, when people tell a lie, they need to use a bigger lie to round it off.

There is no world, no usurper, and maybe even the wheel of fortune. Mu Qin really doesn’t know what Zhou Yue is going to use to fight the king.

In the midst of contemplation and entanglement, Muqin was sitting in the safe room scratching his head with his hands, feeling a little suffocated in his chest.

Think of a solution.

Mu Qin said to himself.

He wanted to help Zhou Yue. He simply wanted to help Zhou Yue. He knew that Zhou Yue’s current situation was very difficult. Maybe Mu Qin could not help much, but Mu Qin didn’t want to remain silent or just stay like this. Don't do it, Muqin knows... there will always be something he can do.

That's right.

Mu Qin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly realized one thing.

At the beginning, he listened to Zhou Yue's conversation with the king. The king said that Zhou Yue was given five days. These five days...The other party did not say that it was five days in the real world or five days in the game.

Because the time between the two is very different.

Muchin can roughly calculate that one hour in the game is equivalent to a day in the real world, and the safe house time is synchronized with the real world.

If the king said five days in the real world, then there are only five days. If he is talking about five days in the game, then Mu Qin and Zhou Yue will have a lot of time. Five days in the game are 120 hours, 120 hours is equivalent to 120 days in the world, which is equivalent to two months for Zhou Yue and Mu Qin to prepare.

Muchin believes that the five-day period the king said to a large extent refers to the five days in the game. After all, the king is now trapped in a game map. He is an experienced player. It is impossible for him not to know Zhou. In Yue's current situation, he must be able to guess that Zhou Yue is still in the game. The shortest time for a game is two or three hours, and it takes an average of five or six hours. Sometimes it takes longer. Players stay in there for a dozen or so hours. Hours or even two or three days are possible.

Stay in the game for two or three days, and I don’t know how long it has been since I came out.

So if the king asked for five days in the real world, Zhou Yue would not be able to find the usurper and give him the wheel of fortune.

Finally, the king himself needs time to deploy. He needs to think about plans to deal with the usurper. If he specifies five days in the real world, wouldn’t the king have only five hours left on the throne map to figure out a solution? Yet?

Thinking about this, Mu Qin suddenly became clear, and immediately went to contact Zhou Yue in no hurry, anyway, he couldn't be anxious now.

So Muqin stood up, walked to the system screen, and opened the system mall.
