Unlimited Cycles of Death: 95. The Butterfly Throne (4)


lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Infinite Retracing Death!

This is an anti-theft seal, it will be replaced after one hour.  The kind of courtyard with towering fences and iron gates. The tops of the fences and iron gates have sharp corners and iron gill nets to prevent theft and intrusion, which can not only prevent people from coming in, but also prevent people from going out.

The courtyard is not big, so I can only visually inspect the area of ​​the two basketball courts. There are a few dead trees and weedy flower beds in the yard, as well as some equipment for children to play, slides, Sandpit and swing.

But these things are too shabby. They are covered with dust, leaves, mold, and rotten stench.

It seems to be a courtyard that has not been taken care of or patronized for a long time.

Mu Qin raised his head to look at the sky. The sky was gray, but it was not at night. It was just very dark. There was no sunlight... it was gray and full of dark clouds. It is the kind of dark clouds that are ready for a storm, and the very low clouds that make the air solidify with a depressive taste. This storm is destined to be very manic, able to wash away everything that is dirty.

Mu Qin didn't know how he appeared here, his memory only stayed at the moment the truck rushed towards him, and then what he could feel was cold and dark, and the blood in his body slowly went out. The terrible touch that flows... an unprecedented death experience.

If I am not dead in a car accident, I should be in the hospital.

Thinking about this, Mu Qin looked at the dilapidated and desolate courtyard around...not in such a place where weirdness was revealed everywhere.

What's even stranger is that my body does not seem to have any injuries, no wounds, and intact.

Mu Qin touched his face and torso. He found that he was wearing a gray prisoner-like costume, a gray shirt and gray trousers. The trousers have two trouser pockets, and all the pockets on the clothes. No. On his feet are a pair of old-style cloth shoes, which reminds Muqin of the cloth shoes issued by the school during military training when he was a student.

This is not my clothes, nor my shoes...Is anyone changing my clothes? As Mu Qin thought, he fumbled for his clothes. He found something in his only two trouser pockets... I'm afraid it was something that the person who left him here put in his pocket.

A...Tarot card?

Mu Qin was right. It was a tarot card with an image of "The Fool" painted on it, and an image of a young man walking on the edge of a cliff with a dog carrying a package.

This image seems to be much more refined than traditional Tarot cards. The picture is beautiful, the color tone is soft, the people on the image are lifelike, and the clothes are flying, just like the exquisite game original paintings in some online games. It caters to contemporary youth. Human aesthetic trend.

The bottom of the image is written in English: 0, Fool.

"The Fool?" Muqin muttered to himself while holding the card. He didn't know much about tarot cards, but he had heard who said that the first card of the tarot card, zero, represents the beginning. It may be A little girl in the company who was obsessed with horoscope divination made him remember it inadvertently.

Mu Qin took a closer look at the card again, except that the picture of the Fool was so exquisite that it made people feel amazing, but he didn't see anything unusual, so Mu Qin turned the tarot card over and found its back. It is an image of a pentagram faintly revealed under a dark blue starry sky background, and there are several lines of beautiful characters printed on it.

Fortunately, it’s Chinese, because Muqin doesn’t learn English very well. It’s written like this—

The journey of adventure has just begun, and the abyss of death is right in front of you.

Are you ready to start or end?

PS: This card can increase your luck.

"What do you mean?" After reading these few lines, Muqin became more and more inexplicable. He checked the card over and over again. It felt useless, but because it was the only thing on his body, he was still honest. He put it back in his pocket.

Then Muqin began to explore the surrounding environment.

The courtyard is too dim. Muqin doesn’t plan to see the dilapidated swings, slides, and sandpits. His goal is on the largest iron gate in the courtyard, and he can vaguely pass through the railings of the iron gate. Seeing the outside scene, there is an asphalt road and a dense forest.

Can I go out?

Mu Qin thought while looking at the iron gate. He stepped towards that door. Mu Qin still wanted to go out because he felt that this place made him feel very weird, and he didn't want to push the one behind him at all. A door carved with the strange meaning of a snake wrapped in a cross.

But when Mu Qin walked through the courtyard, walked through the paths covered with rotting branches and dead leaves, and walked to the iron gate in the middle of the courtyard, Mu Qin found that there was a huge iron lock hanging on the door. The upper part was rusty, Mu Qin stretched out his hand and shook it twice, and the iron lock and the iron door made a crisp collision sound.

It's tightly locked.

Mu Qin thought after checking the lock. He raised his head and looked at the entire big iron door. The railings on this door are all vertical bars, which are not easy to climb, and there are spikes and wires on the top of the iron door. , So it’s impossible to climb over the iron gate.

Just as Muqin was thinking about this iron door, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Who is where?"

The sudden sound made Mu Qin tremble all over. He turned around and looked back and found a tall man standing on the path at the other end of the courtyard. Because of the dim sky and lack of light, Mu Qin could only vaguely see this man clearly. The clothes he wears...the same clothes as Muqin wears.

The same gray clothes and gray pants.

Muchin felt a little weird.

Although Muqin didn't know what to answer, he still had a conversation with this strange man. He raised his hands and said that he was friendly without weapons. Muqin said, "Hello... Um, you know where this is. Right?"

The man on the opposite side stood silent for a moment on the path and answered Muqin: "I don't know where this is, but you should come with me."

"Come with you?" Muqin questioned this sentence.

The man continued to say: "Someone knows what is going on now, you just go with me, we can't get out anyway."

Can't get out? Muqin was even more confused when he heard it. This situation was very strange to him. He appeared in a strange and strange place, a strange and strange man appeared, and he told himself to follow him.

"Did you get me to this place?" Although Muqin was full of doubts, he still walked towards the other side. The place is too dark and the surroundings are too dilapidated. It is not safe. A good place for exploration, Mu Qin didn't want to explore either.

Besides, it was very dark. It seemed that not only was it going to rain, but it was also dark. Muqin didn't want to stay in a weird place on a dark and cold rainy night. So following the man in front of him seems to be his only choice.

Mu Qin asked the man in an attempt to get more information from him. Whether it was kidnapping and trafficking, Mu Qin felt that he could face it calmly.

But he never expected that the other party would actually answer him like this: "I don't have the ability to bring you here. In fact, I was inexplicably appeared here as soon as I opened my eyes... Maybe the **** of death brought us. "

This answer made Mu Qin a little stunned for a while. After a moment's pause, he walked up again, getting closer, and Mu Qin finally saw the man in front of him slightly.

This is a man who seems to be about 30 to 40 years old. He is about 1.78 meters long, with a Chinese character face. The facial features of that face are drooping down, giving people a bitter melon face. It doesn't look like a kind person.

"My name is Cheng Guoxu." Seeing Mu Qin approached, the man introduced himself to Mu Qin, "It's a factory worker...just the kind of factory that makes children's toys."

Cheng Guoxu’s voice is a bit hoarse, it feels like the kind of voice that slowly recovers after losing his voice. It makes Mu Qin uncomfortable to hear, but Mu Qin still politely replied: "My name is... Mu Qin, It’s an ordinary company employee who does sales performance."

After the two briefly introduced each other, they had nothing to say. Cheng Guoxu seems to be a relatively taciturn and introverted person, and Mu Qin is not good at chatting with such people, especially when they are both wary of each other. Case.

He began to follow Cheng Guoxu. Cheng Guoxu didn't take him to the door with a snake encircling the cross. Instead, he walked through a quiet path in the courtyard by the wall, and then came to it. In front of a building that looks like an apartment building.

The weather is getting darker, and the air is filled with the smell of dampness. The dark clouds are still floating heavily above the two people's heads. Mu Qin thought that the rain would fall quickly, but the dark clouds floating in the sky didn't seem to be Anxious.

The surrounding area was very quiet. Mu Qin seemed to hear a small noise in the grass, which made Mu Qin look vigilantly at the place where the sound was made, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.

"This seems to be an orphanage." At this time, Cheng Guoxu had led Mu Qin through the hall of the apartment building, on the first floor to the left corridor, and then pushed open a door marked'Management Room', indicating Mu Qin went in.

Mu Qin went in after hesitating for a while. When he went in, he found that this so-called management room should be an office. It was not big inside. There were a few desks, chairs and bookcases, and it was still standing inside. Several people.

Three completely strangers, plus Mu Qin and Cheng Guoxu, a total of five people stood in this small office.

Maybe I saw Mu Qin brought by Cheng Guoxu. Among the three strangers, a tall man of about 1.8 meters tall stood up and looked at Mu Qin and said, "Here is another newcomer. "

Mu Qin became even more clouded and asked: "Who are you? Did you get me here?"

Almost everything valuable in the abandoned orphanage has been removed, but this obviously valuable piano is still placed here as if it has been forgotten. It is jet black and has been wiped out. There was a layer of lacquer, and a thick layer of ash fell on his body. Mu Qin approached it and touched the piano cover with his fingers, leaving a clear five-fingerprint on it.

Then Mu Qin opened the piano cover. Under the cover were the black and white keys. With the protection of the cover, they were well protected. Mu Qin chose a key with the lowest pitch, pressed it lightly, and the piano sounded. A muffled short note.

Although it was a short and deep tone, the sudden sound of the piano still shocked Qiu Zijia and Cheng Guoxu, who were searching for other locations next to him. Qiu Zijia moved in small steps to warn Mu Qin: "It's all this. At that time you still have the mind to play the piano!"

Mu Qin turned a deaf ear to Qiu Zijia's warning. He still looked at the piano with some fascination, because it aroused some memories of Mu Qin.

After the death of his adoptive parents, Muqin basically lived alone. He lived in an 80-square-meter house left by his adoptive parents, although this house was later occupied by an unscrupulous old man. And resell it to others, but Muqin still remembers that there was a beautiful piano in that house and in the study room of his adoptive parents.

Mu Qin has no talent for music. When he was a child, he was actually a naughty bear kid. He was full of energy and liked to play around, catching birds and climbing trees and rolling out of the mud. He didn't even have the mind to sit down and study quietly, let alone learn music. Things that require patience.

So the adoptive parents did not force Mu Qin to learn any specialties. The years they were alive gave Mu Qin a very happy childhood and allowed him to grow up carefree. This allowed Mu Qin to grow up carefree. To this day, I am very grateful for their nurturing.
