Chapter 25 The First Round of the Game
“Dear Ms. White Crow:
According to your wishes, I entered the copy of "Rose Manor" to explore and made considerable gains.< br>
I found the traces and remains of that existence. His honorable name is:
'The Lord of the Gods who is exiled outside the rules of the world,
The soul master who holds the power of contract transactions
is a great existence that is older than history. ’
The copy NPC Miss Anna once made a deal with Him, and I am willing to believe in the authenticity of this honorable name. Hopefully this time, our ceremony will be successful.
There were some twists and turns during the process. I was killed in the copy by someone who broke the rules first. The man was very cautious and I didn't see his face.
As expected, there will be three players surviving, claiming to be Chang Xu, Qi Si, and Lin Chen respectively. The first two of them are suspicious, and I suggest that the church pays close attention to them.
I can no longer return to Xiangcheng to see you. I only hope that my death can build a ladder to the apocalypse.
Weirdness will eventually run rampant in the world, and mystery will eventually come to the world.
As soon as I saw His statue, I died without regrets.
Yan"
In an elegantly decorated study room far away from the bustling city, Zou Yan is sitting at the desk, typing out lines of text in an email.
After checking it to make sure there were no errors, she clicked "Send".
The automatic reply of "Already acknowledged" appeared in the inbox. Zou Yan pressed the edge of the desk, supported her body with her arms and stood up, staggering towards the bedroom.
I don’t know whether it was the fear of death or the coldness of losing her vitality, but she began to tremble.
It was difficult to raise her strength, and her teeth could not help chattering, making a "gurgling" sound.
Fortunately, the distance from the study to the bedroom was not far, and she finally lay down on the bed before she was completely unable to move.
She no longer had the strength to cover herself with the quilt, so she lay on her back and stared at a spot on the ceiling, as if trying to carve something into her eyeballs.
There was blood overflowing from her mouth and nose. She took a lick and found it was a bit salty.
The weird game will allow players to die in a reasonable way in reality. Zou Yan endlessly guessed what kind of terminal disease he was suffering from at the moment.
She twitched the corners of her mouth, raised her hand and drew two triangles on her chest, forcing herself to smile peacefully, but tears fell down the corners of her eyes.
There may be someone in the world who can face death calmly, but it will definitely not be her.
She knew that sacrifice was necessary and had the consciousness of martyrdom, but when the end came, she always felt unwilling to accept it.
She also wants to witness the prophesied doomsday judgment and the subsequent apocalypse; she also wants to walk in the light, laugh, chat, listen to stories and observe people; she also wants to adopt her own child The church takes a look at those children...
She doesn’t want to die, but what can she do?
The consciousness gradually sank into darkness, and in the haze of half-consciousness, a fragment deep in the memory that should have been erased became vivid.
That was the first round of Rose Manor.
...
There were nine players who first entered the copy of "Rose Manor".
When the copy started, the nine people in the first round, like the six remaining people in the second round, sat around the long table and introduced themselves.
Among them, two people claimed to be entering the dungeon for the third time; there was also a little girl, although it was the second time to enter the dungeon, she had a prop that could indicate clues.
In comparison, Chang Xu, Ye Zi and others appear less dazzling.
Zou Yan's approach was to hide her capabilities and bide her time. With so many players that could cause changes, she didn't intend to show her face too early.
She uses her professionalism to observe everyone and conduct psychological profiling.
At first glance, she noticed Qiss, who, like her, hid himself in the crowd.
The young man lowered his eyes and remained silent, but the gaze behind his eyelashes always followed everyone who spoke, and his deep and bottomless eyes reflected the light of thought.
He is also thinking and observing.
When the rooms were divided later, there were three people to one room, and Zou Yan decisively invited Qisi.
The number of "nine" is too many. In the complicated situation, she needs a rational and calm ally.
Qis agreed, and the two of them recruited a new person and chose Room 1 to live in.
On the first night, Miss Anna went downstairs and knocked on the doors of each room.
The new guy in the room with them was so frightened that he yelled, triggering the death point as expected. The vines penetrated the crack in the door and came over the sky. Zou Yan saw Qisi's slightly opened eyes in the darkness. They were as terrifying as the pupils of a beast and as bright as the fire on the ice field.
The indifferent young man didn't even get up. In just one second, he pulled out the awl from the special bracelet on his right hand and knocked out the newcomer who had caused trouble.
The vines in the direction of the door are still growing and spreading, with no intention of calming down the trouble.
The young man sat up slowly, without hesitation, picked up the collar of the fainted newcomer and threw him towards the door.
The vines dragged the newlyweds out of the room. The young man stared at the scene in front of him without any unnecessary expression.
At that moment, Zou Yan realized that this player named "Qisi" was the same person as her, a similar person she had not seen for a long time.
She said: "Let's cooperate."
Qisi tilted his head and looked at her. After a while, he smiled brightly and said, "Okay."
And the previous one Zou Yan's indifferent face was completely different. He could not feel the emotion of happiness, but he was smiling so happily. This kind of contradiction made Zou Yan interesting.
She thought that the next three days would not be boring, and Qisi would be a good person to observe.
Complex situations are prone to variables, and trying to crack the worldview will only cause more trouble. The two of them decided without any objection on the plan to kill other players and trigger the "guaranteed death toll" mechanism.
Things developed smoothly. After killing another person, they formed an alliance with Shen Ming and Ye Zi, forming a numerical advantage.
Chang Xu, Lin Chen, and the little girl named "Xu Xinyi" were no match for them and were quickly controlled by them.
Lin Chen and Xu Xinyi only cried and cried, but Chang Xu, who had a bad temper and was as hard as a rock, found an opportunity to snatch Qisi's special bracelet and cut a large gash on his heart.
Others subdued Chang Xu in time and planned to throw him outside the castle at night and kill him through the mechanism of the copy.
However, Qisi covered the wound on his heart and stopped him with a smile: "Keep him, this guy is quite interesting."
The life and death of a person is innocuous. Chang Xu had his limbs broken, but he survived. .
On the third day, the four of them chose Xu Xinyi to kill and got the prop that could indicate clues.
A large number of clues about the world view of the copy surfaced. Zou Yan vaguely realized that something was wrong, and after some investigation, he confirmed the existence of "time loop".
It turns out that killing three people does not mean that the level is cleared. The reincarnation will not stop. Those who survive will lose the corresponding memories and go back to the beginning to replay the same scene until everyone is buried in the Rose Manor. .
She told this discovery to Zeiss, who looked at the sea of roses outside the window and smiled nonchalantly: "The six-person game is much clearer than the nine-person game. At least if you want to collect clues in the second round of the game, it won't be as troublesome as now. "And, after all, we still have two chances, right?"
For a moment, Zou Yan suspected that the young man had known all this and had planned to use the first round of the game to consume people. Even keeping Chang Xu was to prepare for the second round of the game.
But she gave up the idea - how could someone have laid such a trap before her?
The clock struck nine at night. She looked at the young man's erratic figure behind the candlelight and asked in a strange way: "If there is a conflict of interest in the future, will you kill me?"
< br>The young man smiled with a crooked eyebrow: "Don't you know? We are the same people."
The answer is clear, their choice has been finalized in their hearts, no need to say more.
Zou Yan’s rationality tells her that unstable factors that may cause changes should be eradicated as soon as possible.
But she hesitated.
Three people have died, and the remaining six people constitute exactly two three-day reincarnations. She is not sure whether one more death will cause the game to end early, leaving her with insufficient time to decipher the worldview.
Furthermore, in the first round of the game, Ziss seemed to have no threat except for his calm and indifferent qualities. He did not have many props in reserve and could only rely on her. How much trouble could it cause?
After all, Zou Yan didn't dare to gamble on the game's mechanism with her unfounded doubts.
She thought it wouldn’t be too difficult to wait until the next round of the game to kill Zeiss.
What's more, I haven't seen such an interesting person for a long time, so why not keep him for another game?
So, she watched Qisi leave the room, walk out of the castle, and stand in the middle of the sea of flowers, maintaining a wary and distant distance from her.
No obstruction.
When the castle bell strikes twelve, a new cycle will begin. Players will forget their grievances, disperse the bloody sins they have committed, and sit at the long table as innocently as passers-by. Gathering around, we got to know each other again.
Zou Yan knew that she only had three hours to chew on the memories of these three days.
She stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the young man standing in the sea of flowers.
After the heavy rain stopped for a long time, the moon peeked out of the clouds, and its pale light shone horribly on the blood-stained white shirt.
The young man stood, motionless, silent, silent.
He was alone, with his back to the castle, as cold as a god and as lonely as a beast.
Let me ask you, is this copy worth a monthly pass? (akimbo) If you have a recommendation vote, you can vote for it or leave a comment. I really want to know how many friends have seen this... I am single-player every day and I can’t write any more/cry
