[BL, MTL] Unlimited Cycles of Death (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 33: Backtracking (7)

A pure white world.

Like a piece of white paper that has not been polluted by pen and ink, although it is clean, it is so clean that it makes people feel a little scary.

This is Mu Qin's entire impression of this safe house, a completely enclosed space without doors or windows. But to Mu Qin's surprise, the air in this closed space is not dull. Mu Qin found that the air was flowing, but Mu Qin did not find anything like a vent in this pale room.

It was the first time Mu Qin came to the safe house, and after a period of panic and daze passed, Mu Qin calmed down and began to check himself and his surroundings.

What he is wearing is not the clothes in the real world, but his gray suit in the game that looks like a prison uniform, and nothing else on his body.

A standby screen flashed on the virtual screen in the center of the room.

This is Mu Qin's second discovery. If the player does not talk to the mechanical female voice of the game system for a long time, and does not operate the virtual screen to inquire about other things related to the game, then a standby screen will appear on the virtual screen, which is very disturbing. A familiar picture.

A snake cross logo with an all black background behind it.

This logo is exactly the same as the small model of the snake cross that Mu Qin got in Zhou Yue's bedroom in the real world. The patterns carved on the cross, the angle at which the black snake wraps around, and even the slightly reflective scales on the snake's body are all the same. Exactly the same on that little model.

Mu Qin knew that these were not coincidences, he thought to himself, if he could use these imprints on the wall to leave a message and contact Zhou Yue, he must ask Zhou Yue a lot of questions.

Regarding the meaning of the snake cross symbol, there is also the fact that Zhou Yue did not die in the real world but became a vegetable, and why did Zhou Yue carry that white card with him when he became a vegetable in an accident? And who is trying to fight for this card?

Mu Qin wanted to ask Zhou Yue too many questions, but he failed to contact Zhou Yue.

He groped around on the wall behind the virtual screen, and there were many marks and messages left by other players on the wall, some of which were just graffiti, and some were words that he did not understand.

And most of the messages left by these players are full of negative energy.

Mu Qin saw a lot of words like this on it-

"I'm going to die, and I will definitely die in the next game!"

"I want to go home or die."

"You can commit suicide in the safe house. Is there anyone who commits suicide with me?"

"Above You're talking nonsense, you can't die in a safe house, all injuries and damage will be repaired, you can only hurt yourself and feel the pain."

"I'm going crazy I'm going crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy!"

"Last game I killed five people hahahahahahahahaha!"

This kind of messy, inexplicable, and some curse words emerged endlessly, engraved on the wall, feeling like a group of lunatics carnival on the wall, venting their inner pain wantonly.

Some people maliciously carved their own handwriting very large, engraving a huge "death" character on the entire wall. As the safe house's self-healing function took effect, these handwriting were also very slowly updated and disappeared.

Mu Qin didn't find Zhou Yue's handwriting. Of course he remembered Zhou Yue's handwriting. Zhou Yue had practiced calligraphy for a while, and his handwriting was always very beautiful.

This kind of fine brushwork combined with seal script feels like some kind of master-level artwork. In high school, Mu Qin, who was infatuated with Zhou Yue, would secretly keep the notebooks and papers written by Zhou Yue every time. The words written by Zhou Yue above were cut out and pasted in his own notebook for collection. This kind of behavior once made Mu Qin feel that he was a bit perverted.

But later, because the old uncle sold the house of Mu Qin's adoptive parents, he also sold off many things in the house. Of course, those books that Mu Qin collected and collected Zhou Yue's handwriting were all gone. Qin is very sorry.

Can't find Zhou Yue's handwriting, Mu Qin didn't give up, he decided to squat to guard the wall. Mu Qing thought, if Zhou Yue in the safe house hadn't been in touch with Mu Qin, Zhou Yue would definitely be anxious. Judging by Zhou Yue's personality, he would most likely take the option of leaving a message on the wall every two hours. In order to insist on getting a dialogue with Mu Qin, Mu Qin only needs to wait by the wall to see Zhou Yue's message.

Of course, Mu Qin can also take the initiative to contact.

Just like Mu Qin can recognize Zhou Yue's handwriting at a glance, for Zhou Yue, Mu Qin's handwriting is also very easy to recognize as if it has been highlighted, so Mu Qin can also follow the engraving on the wall for Zhou Yue to see .

In order to engrave letters, Mu Qin needs a sharp weapon such as a knife. So Mu Qin looked around, and there was nothing in the pure white safe room, except for the floating virtual screen in the middle, there was nothing else.

Mu Qin thought for a while, but instead of leaving the wall, he squatted at the corner and raised his voice, shouting, "Hello... are you there?"

"Are you calling me?" The mechanical female voice came out, with an invariably sweet voice, "Excuse me, what help do you need?"

"What should I call you?" Mu Qin said to the female voice, "I can't keep shouting 'Hello, Hey'."

"You can call me I'm '3780', or call me the system directly, or give me a name that you like and can call me easily." The female voice of the system is gentle and patient.

Mu Qin was puzzled when he heard the words: "Why 3780?"

"Because I happen to be the 3780th system." The female voice said, "Each system corresponds to a player, and I will only provide you with exclusive services. "

Mu Qin understood: "It means that I am the 3780th person to enter this game."

"Yes, you can understand it that way."

Mu Qin thought for a while, and then said to the system: "Then I will call you the system... Then the system, if I rest in the safe house for three days, how can I But , why don't you just sit here without eating or drinking?" The

system replied: "If you need to eat, please tell me about the food you want to eat."

Mu Qin tilted his head to think for a moment, and made a difficult request on purpose: " I want to eat French steak." The

female voice of the system is still sweet: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Although Mu Qin was told to wait a moment, Mu Qing didn't wait long at all, and within two seconds, Mu Qin saw A food truck... that's right, a food truck! This dining car appeared out of thin air, it was the kind of high-end and luxurious metal dining car in the hotel, it was polished so that it could perfectly reflect Mu Qin's face.

No one was pushing the dining car, and it miraculously moved in front of Mu Qin.

There was a white ceramic plate on the dining car, and the plate was covered with a stainless steel cover. Mu Qin lifted the cover and saw a plate of steaming, delicious and tender French-fried steak in front of him.

Served with some delicate breaded vegetables and drinks on the side.

Mu Qin stared at this perfect dish and had nothing to say for a long time. The female voice of the system continued to speak: "Do you need a dining table and chairs? I can put them in the place you specify."

Mu Qin felt that he might be able to After understanding the situation of this safe house, Mu Qin asked, "Is this place where you can create anything I want?" The

system said, "Yes, no matter what your needs are, I can satisfy you."

"If I say I'm sexually motivated and want a woman to fuck me, can you make me a woman too?" Mu Qin said these words shamelessly.

The system is more shameless than him, because she is only artificial intelligence, the system said: "The safe house cannot create living things, so I can't conjure a living woman for you, but it can be a fake doll, and I can ensure that the doll has temperature and can have a certain dialogue, and the texture feels like a real person."

Then the system further added: "But as far as I know, your sexual orientation is not the opposite sex. If you need it, I can create a perfect match for you. Your aesthetically pleasing male doll."

Mu Qin felt his head hurt a bit, and he couldn't help rubbing his head. Then he said to the system: "Forget it, I don't need a woman or a man, just give me a knife."

Then a knife immediately appeared on the dining car in front of Mu Qing.

The system continued to add instructions over there: "You can get anything I can make in the safe house, but please note that the things in the safe house cannot be taken out or brought into the game map, you can only get them in the safe house Use it."

Mu Qin understood this, did not answer, and began to carve words on the wall with a table knife.

Mu Qin didn't know what to engrave, he tried his best to engrave his handwriting more beautifully, because it was written in seal characters, and he didn't worry about being recognized what he was writing, so he boldly engraved Zhou Yue's handwriting. Name, and wrote: I love you.

He wrote five or six rows of "Zhou Yue, I love you" in the corner of the wall.

After finishing writing, Mu Qin himself blushed, thinking that it would be better to cross out these words with a knife, but before he could do anything, he saw that someone answered him, "I love you too." ".

Looking at the handwriting, it was clearly Zhou Yue's.

Mu Qin suddenly became ecstatic, and wrote excitedly: "Are you there? Are you okay?"

"I've been here, I'm fine."

"Are you really Zhou Yue?"

"Of course, Aren't you Mu Qin?"

Mu Qin was even happier, wishing that Zhou Yue was right in front of his eyes so that he could rush forward and hug her.

It's a pity that Zhou Yue is not in front of him.

The feeling of only being able to talk through text made Mu Qin very sad, and he had a sense of sight of an "untouchable lover".

"I miss you so much." Mu Qin wrote on the wall, obviously he had a lot of questions to ask Zhou Yue, but now that he really got in touch, he only focused on writing his feelings for him, "I want to see you."

Zhou Yue also engraved Reply: "I think too, don't worry, we will meet soon in the next game."

When Zhou Yue mentioned the next game, Mu Qin suddenly remembered the things he had experienced in the real world, and he really wanted to Explain one by one with Zhou Yue, but because the only way to communicate is by lettering on the wall, it is too slow and limited. In addition, anyone can write on the wall, the whole wall is very messy, and other people's handwriting is also very easy. Overshadowed Mu Qin's.

Mnuchin tried to describe everything he experienced in the simplest terms.

Mu Qin engraved words: "Zhou Yue, you are not dead, your body is alive in the real world and is a vegetative state."

After Mu Qin finished engraving a sentence, Zhou Yue over there did not reply to Mu Qin for a long time, and Mu Qin saw it after a while. His handwriting appeared on the wall: "I know."

Zhou Yue's words shocked Mu Qin. he knows? What else does he know?

Mu Qin originally wanted to continue engraving and writing something, but Zhou Yue continued to engrave one step ahead of him: "Mu Qin, the three days in the safe house do not need to be spent completely. Any player can choose to start the game in advance. We will set a Time, at 12:00 noon tomorrow, you and I will enter the game at the same time, and the chances of matching are very high."

Zhou Yue kept writing: "But if you fail, please live well Go down and wait for the next round, we still have a chance to meet."

"I have a lot to tell you." Zhou Yue engraved very fast, and soon there was a new row, "But I'll Can't say enough."

"So you just need to remember the important... In this marginal world, only I will help you, only I can be trusted, and only I will love you forever."

Later, Zhou Yue couldn't continue to communicate with Mu Qin through lettering, because The repair function of the safe house began to work. In just a few minutes, all the writing on the wall disappeared completely, and the whole wall became clean, smooth and bright. When Mu Qin wanted to continue to engrave on it, he found that his blade could not No marks left on the walls.

"What's going on here?" Mu Qin asked System 3780.

The female voice of the system answered him: "Players communicate by writing messages on the wall, which is the default communication method allowed by the system, but there is a time limit, from 8:00 am to 10:00 am, and from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The time period for leaving marks in the safe house. After this time period, your destruction will not be able to leave any traces in the safe house."

"Then what time is it?" Mu Qin asked the system.

"Eight o'clock in the evening." The system replied

to Mu Qin, "Is the time in the marginal world synchronized with the real world?"

"Yes, synchronized."

Hearing the system's answer, Mu Qin can really confirm that he is in the After escaping from the game map before, he did return to the real world. He stayed in the real world for two days, and finally came to this so-called "marginal world" because he was shot and died.

It felt as if he was playing well in a certain game, and then he was disconnected for two days in the middle of the game, and when he came back online, he was still at his original position, while Zhou Yue had already walked to the front.

Fortunately, players can start a new game at any time, so at least the gap between Mu Qin and Zhou Yue will not widen. Mu Qin must keep pace with Zhou Yue. He wants to be with Zhou Yue. If you live normally, at least here...

Mu Qin thought, lying on the wall where he and Zhou Yue had an inscribed conversation just now.

"I'm so sorry." Mu Qin said to himself, "I shouldn't have left at the beginning, I should have stayed by your side...I don't want to accept your help for my boring self-esteem, for the sake of my so-called backbone. I'm afraid of the relationship between us. I am afraid of the future we are going to face, so I ran away, I ran away, and I can only meet you in this kind of ghost place."

Mu Qin felt that his eyes were a little wet, he lowered his head, and put his head against the wall, And clench your fists.

"I'm really not reconciled, I actually died."

...

Since he couldn't continue talking to Zhou Yue, Mu Qin had no choice but to leave the wall and return to the virtual screen of System 3780.

Because Zhou Yue has already made an appointment with Zhou Yue to start the new game on time at 12 noon tomorrow, Mu Qin must make some preparations before that. The most basic thing is that he needs to know the basic rules of the game. For those, Mu Qin still has a lot to understand.

Mu Qin asked the system, "How many rewards did I get in the last game map?"

"You got a total of 13,200 reward points in the last game 'Iris Orphanage' map." The female voice of the system Always answer all of Mu Qin's questions so calmly.

Thirteen thousand and two.

Mu Qin recited this number silently in his heart...it was more than he imagined. Thinking of this, Mu Qin greeted the system and said: "Open the mall." The

system did not answer, and directly showed Mu Qin the so-called "mall" on the virtual screen.

The mall interface is the same as the electronic mall in many games, but there are not many things in it. When the system 3780 opened the mall, Mu Qin was dumbfounded when he saw it. There were only five things in the mall. It's five tarot cards.

Five different tarot cards, namely the 3 of Coin and the Servant of the Coin, the Knight of Cups and the 6 of Swords, and the last one is the "Moon" in the Major Arcana.

There are different patterns on the five tarot cards, which are very beautiful and exquisite. They look like real objects when they are suspended in the mall interface, as if they can be taken out of the cards by reaching out. These only five tarot

cards made Mu Qin a little overwhelmed. He began to ask the system: "Are there only these things in the mall?"

Different products are provided, and the products are different every day. Players are welcome to choose and buy at their own discretion."

Mu Qin understood, and he asked again: "Does the mall only sell tarot cards?"

"Yes, the mall is only for players. Provide item cards."

Mu Qin leaned closer to the virtual screen and carefully observed the prices of the five tarot cards in the mall. All the tarot cards here are a little expensive, and each one does not cost less than 3,000 bonus points, especially The Holy Grail Knight needs 5,000 bonus points, and the last Moon Card of the Major Arcana directly reaches the high price of 10,000.

Mu Qin didn't quite understand, he actively asked the system: "I heard that every time a new game starts, the system will automatically draw a tarot card for the player who enters the map, 22 big cards from Fool 0 to World 21 In the Alcana Tarot, a random draw is performed, and the killer will draw the Death card regularly."

"Suppose I enter the game with this moon card I bought in the mall, then I can still get the time to enter the game, The tarot card that the system automatically draws for me?" What Muqin mainly wants to know is this, he wants to know how many tarot cards players can hold in the game.

The system answered Mu Qin's question: "The frontier world's item card system adopts the setting of Tarot cards, which are divided into 'main cards' and 'secondary cards'. The main cards are 22 major arcanas. Cards up to World No. 21 are the main cards. The secondary cards are the four minor arcanas of the scepter, the holy grail, the sword and the coin."

"At the beginning of each game, the system will randomly draw a main card for each player. This main card is a fixed card, and it is a card that you will definitely get in the game. Even if you have Holding other main cards at the same time will not be affected by them, but you can only bring an extra 'one' main card into the game each time."

"It means that I can hold two main cards in the game?" Mu Qin squinted He squinted at the cards in the mall.

The system replied: "Yes, you can hold two different main cards in the game."

Mu Qin touched his chin and thought for a moment, then he continued to ask the system: "What does that deck of cards mean? These coins, the Holy Grail And the sword, how many cards can I bring into the game?"

"The second card is a consumable card, you can only bring one into the game, after entering the game, the second card will be automatically consumed and take effect immediately."

Mu Qin stretched out his hand and pointed to the mall The sword 6 inside asked, "Does the sword 6 have any effect?"

"You can reach out and touch the cards in the mall, and instructions will appear next to the cards."

Hearing this, Mu Qin reached out and touched the cards on the virtual screen. The sword 6. I saw that this card that was "touched" by Mu Qin suddenly trembled, as if it was shy when Mu Qin touched it, and then it was enlarged on the screen, and a line of text appeared next to it:

"The swan soared up in the shadow of the crows, and took you out of the dark abyss."

"Consume cards, when you get keys or props that can open the exit in the map, your movement speed will increase slightly."

Mu Qin stared at The description of this card stared at it for a second, and finally came to a conclusion: "It seems... useless." The

system said next to it: "You can choose the card you need to buy, or store your reward points for Buy and upgrade better props in the future."

Mu Qin curled his lips, and reached out to touch another card for instructions, this time he touched the main card 'Moon' with a price of 10,000, and saw that there was something next to the moon card. A series of instructions appeared:

"Dreams, fantasy, lost, the moon is the representative of the night, the end of the day."

"Darkness will protect you, but death will not."

"Prop card, when you take this card and hide in shadows and dark corners, you will It will become one with the darkness."

"Merge with the darkness?" Mu Qin looked at the description of the moon card for no reason, and then he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked in surprise: "Does it mean that you can become invisible in the dark? "The

system didn't answer Mu Qin's question, so Mu Qin looked at the descriptions of the other decks one by one. Those coins, holy grails and sword cards are basically the kind of cards that... are completely useless, or have negligible effects. Among them, coins seem to be slightly better, especially coin servants. Its function is that after the game is over, players who successfully escape can get more bonus points.

After seeing so many cards, Mu Qin has no desire to buy any of them. The moon card seems to be useful, but it is too expensive.

Mu Qin wanted to look at something else, so he asked the system, "Can reward points improve my physical fitness?"

So the system changed the interface of the mall and showed Mu Qin's personal panel for him to see, and Mu Qin saw My physical fitness is listed as data, which is clearly displayed:
