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

Chapter 41: Paradise of Despair (8)

The trace broke at the door of the haunted house.

Zhou Yue lowered her head and searched. The roads of the amusement park were paved with stone brick floors. Since the Paradise of Despair was abandoned at the moment and no one repaired and maintained it, a lot of weeds grew in the gaps between the stone bricks on the ground, and moss was everywhere near the water source. These tenacious grasses can emerge from almost any gap, and they largely hindered Zhou Yue's grasp of the trail.

But Zhou Yue possesses "hunter's intuition".

Yes, "Hunter's Intuition" is a skill.

A skill exclusive to ghosts.

In the fringe world, players can learn two sets of skills, one for humans and one for killers, which can be learned separately without interfering with each other.

At the beginning of the game, players can enter the game with a set of human skills and a set of killer skills. One set is three skills. That is to say, players can bring six different skills into this new game.

However, after entering the new game, if the player does not draw the Death card, then the set of killer skills brought by the player will become "unavailable", and vice versa.

The skills of ghosts are relatively rare... In other words, when the system awakens skills for players, most of them give priority to awakening human skills for players. Moreover, the player cannot control the choice of skills by himself, it is completely random by the system, there is nothing to say: "I want a 'ghost' skill", and then the system will actually awaken a ghost skill for you.

After all, the blessing of the God of Death card has already strengthened the players who become "ghosts" to the greatest extent. If there are a few more skills, then humans don't have to live, just wait in line to be slaughtered.

Therefore, players who can awaken ghost skills are very rare, but Zhou Yue happens to be one of the lucky ones.

Zhou Yue now only has one ghost skill, which is the "hunter's intuition", a skill that helps him find prey as soon as possible. After opening it, he has a keen observation of the marks left by prey on the ground, walls, and various objects force. This skill is not very good, because Zhou Yue is a special soldier in the real world, and has received special training in investigative ability, and this skill is nothing more than an icing on the cake for his investigative ability.

But in some cases, hunter intuition is still very useful, such as facing those extremely experienced and experienced old players.

Zhou Yue remembered that when she was a ghost, she met some humans who were very, very good at hiding. They had no noise, were good at disguising themselves, had some good skills, and could use various main cards to hide themselves. At the initial stage when the identity of the ghost has not been ascertained, Zhou Yue can still have close contact with these people, but once Zhou Yue's identity is revealed, they will run away and hide. The hunter's intuition is almost impossible to find them.

Later, Zhou Yue also failed to kill these cunning and hiding humans. In the worst round, Zhou Yue almost didn't even get the two guaranteed heads. At the stage, two humans made a mistake and were caught up by Zhou Yue, who mercilessly killed them.

What's interesting is that now Zhou Yue seldom meets such excellent old players. In the games he starts now, he basically meets novices who have just joined the game or have only experienced one or two games.

Zhou Yue doesn't know much about the system of recruiting newcomers in the fringe world. He can roughly guess that in this game, about 20 to 30 newcomers will be forced to join the game every month, and then some people will be forced to join the game. Those who were unlucky at the beginning died tragically at the hands of the killer, and some of them were also eliminated in the second to fourth rounds. In the end, there were only a few people left...not even one.

Zhou Yue didn't know how long he could survive in this world. It was a long time. He vaguely recalled that he came to this world after suffering an accident almost two years ago. In other words, he has been in this weird game for nearly two years, and these two years have passed so fast that Zhou Yue didn't even realize it.

He fled frantically in countless maps, and lived until now, only because he was unwilling to die so easily without seeing Mu Qin.

But now that he saw it, Zhou Yue became even more dissatisfied.

He wants to live even more, to live well, he wants to hold Mu Qin's hand, he wants to take Mu Qin out of here.

But how can we leave this terrible world?

Zhou Yue hesitated for a while in front of the haunted house. He knew in his heart that this dark haunted house was probably a trap set by Lu Jiayi and Shi Wen for him. Zhou Yue calculated the cards owned by the enemy. If Jiayi didn't buy other extra cards, probably only the Reversed Demon in Shi Wen's hand.

The Devil card is a good card, whether it is upright or reversed, it is a very good card, but at the same time it is a bit extreme.

The effect of the reversed demon is to turn a human being into a puppet for him to drive. In short, it is to "fake death" a human being and make him obey the killer's orders. This "pseudo-death" human will get the same buff as the killer, his physical attributes will be enhanced in all aspects, and he will have the same self-healing speed as the killer in a short period of time, and he will also go berserk , to maximize one's power... To put it bluntly, the Devil Card is a "Death Card" that can only last ten minutes.

Its effect is similar to that of the Chariot card to some extent, but there are also obvious differences. For example, the gain of the Chariot card is not as high as that of the Demon card. If it is so serious, at least after using up the chariot, the player will only become weak and slow to move, but after the effect of the demon card ends, the player will directly enter the dying state. If there is no one to help, the player will really die.

There is not much difference between the upright demon and the reversed demon, but the upright demon is a card actively used by humans, and the upright demon will not be controlled by the killer. Humans can actively dedicate their souls to the demon, so that they can get ten minutes "Pseudo-deathization" of him, and use this power to fight against the killer.

No matter which of Lu Jiayi and Shi Wen is the killer, Zhou Yue will use the inverted demon to control the other person, turn him into his own puppet, and work together with the puppet to encircle and suppress Zhou Yue. Zhou Yueming knew it was a trap, but he had to act.

The first is that Zhou Yue's head count is not enough, at least he has to find a way to kill another human being other than Mu Qin. Secondly, if Zhou Yue doesn't step on this trap, then Lu Jiayi and Shi Wen will definitely go back to find the bodies of Mu Qin and Rong Yuxi. If they find out that Mu Qin is not dead, Mu Qin will be in trouble .

After much deliberation, Zhou Yue decided to meet Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi. Zhou Yue is confident. With his physical fitness and mobility, it is not a problem to fight against the two "Reapers". No matter how tough Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi are, they will not be as tough as a trained person like Zhou Yue.

So Zhou Yue went in. He stepped briskly into the eye sockets of the huge skull, and walked down the stairs of the haunted house. It was pitch black below.

At the same time, Mu Qin on the other side also found the vicinity of the Ferris wheel. Mu Qin quickly found Duan Qun's body. Mu Qin knelt down and stretched out his hands, closing Duan Qun's eyes, regretfully saying to Duan Qun, "You shouldn't have died."

After saying this, Mu Qin Qin began to grope around Duan Qun, trying to get his Hanged Man card from Duan Qun, although he knew that this card might not be of any use.

But a weird thing happened, Mu Qin groped for a long time, but he couldn't find the Hanged Man on Duan Qun!

Strange, was it taken away by someone?

Looking at Duan Qun's death, Mu Qin estimated that he was killed, maybe Zhou Yue chased him and killed him, or maybe it was "another killer" Lu Jiayi in the team.

So it was either Zhou Yue or Lu Jiayi who took the cards from him, but what's the use of the killer taking the right cards?

Mu Qin went in without knowing it, and he had a premonition in his heart that something was wrong, so he stood up and prepared to follow up to have a look. Although Mu Qin's investigative ability was slightly inferior to Zhou Yue's, he was still very good. He quickly continued to search for the faintest traces on the ground. Walking in the direction of the haunted house, he found that he had actually made a detour along the way, and walked back to the "birth point" where he had just woken up in the amusement park.

When Mu Qin slowly got closer and closer to the haunted house, Mu Qin had vaguely seen the huge skull of the haunted house. The strange thing is that when he passed the haunted house at first, the door of the haunted house was still lit, but now the two The lights were also turned off, and the entire skull melted into the darkness.

Then Mu Qin seemed to see a person standing at the door of the haunted house.

Just as Mu Qin was approaching the haunted house, Zhou Yue had already entered the interior of the haunted house, and it was really pitch black. Even though Zhou Yue had obtained various enhancement buffs from the Death Card, Zhou Yue did not have the night vision function , In such an environment, he can only rely on his keen sense of hearing and smell.

Then, he heard some small voices coming from the front, which seemed to be coming from far away, but also seemed to be very close at hand. It might be the sound of footsteps or breathing. Those rustling sounds seemed to be luring him, luring him. As Zhou Yue went deeper, Zhou Yue knew that the enemy was ready and was waiting to fight him.

Zhou Yue reached out and groped the uneven wall beside her, and continued to walk forward. The underground haunted house was very shady, and the temperature was very low. It felt like the temperature was only about ten degrees. Although Zhou Yue was not afraid of the cold, the coolness still reached In the bottom of my heart, Zhou Yue's restless mood was much quieter.

Just after Zhou Yue walked a certain distance, Zhou Yue could indeed feel someone waiting for him in front of him, because the sound of the other party's breathing was too close, it was a bit of rapid breathing, which was very obvious in the dark and quiet environment .

After hearing the sound, Zhou Yue stopped, feeling that there would be a battle waiting for him ahead, so Zhou Yue simply closed his eyes that could not see anything, and pulled out his own blade from his pocket, he calmed down. With the desire and restlessness in his heart for fighting, he had to calm himself down and get ready.

Zhou Yue didn't have the terrifying power to keep calm under any circumstances like Mu Qin... For a long time, Zhou Yue didn't understand why Mu Qin was always so calm.

Whether it is the various exams that you usually have to deal with in school, or performing on stage in campus activities, or facing a group of gangsters who are third-rate and fifth-rate to find fault, or even encountering robbers armed with knives, the more critical the situation is, The more Mu Qin waited calmly, he never expressed his panic to Zhou Yue, he would not seek any comfort from Zhou Yue, he always liked to smile at Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue will always remember his gentle smile, a smile that made Zhou Yue very obsessed and disgusted.

Zhou Yue began to slowly approach the slightly heavy breathing sound in front of her step by step, and the enemy also realized Zhou Yue's approach. Zhou Yue judged from the sound of his breathing that it was a man's breathing sound, probably the one named Shi Wen guy.

When Zhou Yue approached slowly, Zhou Yue heard a new sound, that was the sound of the blade being unsheathed and slicing through the air. Zhou Yue immediately realized that the enemy in front of him also had a short knife in his hand.

Shi Wen's breathing was very heavy and a bit chaotic, as if he was extremely suppressing his own pain, and even felt a little short of breath. Zhou Yue interpreted his chaotic breathing, and he had a bit of understanding in his heart. He began to determine that Shi Wen was being forced to The puppet of a demon, the effect of the reversed demon made him very painful.

In this way, the other woman named Lu Jiayi is another killer.

Even though he could have guessed such a result a long time ago, Zhou Yue was not surprised. He lifted his blade gently. He felt that he was very close to Shi Wen. Yue expected that the other party's situation should be the same as her own, and Shi Wen also couldn't see clearly, and the two could only fight desperately in the darkness.

And Zhou Yue had almost foreseen his own victory.

It is a very wrong move for the enemy to make the underground haunted house completely dark. For Zhou Yue, the darkness is not only not an obstacle, but also suits Zhou Yue's wishes. Zhou Yue is actually very good at fighting in the dark. Since the first time he was a ghost, he has been used to fighting in the dark.

But Zhou Yue, who was full of confidence, suffered a big loss.

When Zhou Yue was holding his knife and was about to make two moves with the enemy and finish him off, Zhou Yue heard the sound of the opponent's breathing disappear.

There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.

This sudden situation made Zhou Yue stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but put down the blade in his hand, and then walked slowly to Shi Wen's side in the dark. He found that Shi Wen was sitting On the ground against the wall, he stretched out his hand to touch Shi Wen's arm, then moved up along the other's arm, and soon he touched a large amount of warm...blood.

There was a huge wound on Shi Wen's neck, and he seemed to be holding a short knife in his hand. It was obvious that the sound of the blade cutting through the air that Zhou Yue heard just now was the sound of Shi Wen cutting his own throat with the knife. , and his increasingly chaotic breathing sound was the patience of cutting his own throat while holding back the pain. He was not controlled by the so-called reversed demon.

This guy actually committed suicide! ?

Realizing this fact made Zhou Yue terrified... Yes, he terrified! He even felt goosebumps all over his body, he realized that he had made a mistake, he originally expected that the enemy would attack him back and forth in this underground haunted house, and he was confident that he would not be defeated, but now Shi Wen has died! But why did he have to die? Why did he commit suicide! ?

That woman... Where did that woman named Lu Jiayi go! ?

Zhou Yue stood up immediately, ignoring Shi Wen, he turned around and ran out of the haunted house!

...

Mu Qin unconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Lu Jiayi who was approaching him.

Under the faint light of the street lamp, this petite and beautiful woman looked very pale, as pale as a ghost.

In fact, according to Mu Qin's prediction, Lu Jiayi may really be another ghost in this game. The moment Mu Qin saw her, Mu Qin should choose to run away, but this place is very wide and there are not many obstacles , Lu Jiayi with the God of Death buff must be faster than Mu Qin, and he will be caught up if he runs, and...Mu Qin didn't see Zhou Yue, which made Mu Qin a little worried.

So at this time, Mu Qin decided to simply pretend that he didn't know that she was a ghost, and talk to her to delay some time, Zhou Yue might be nearby.

Thinking of this, Mu Qin said to Lu Jiayi with a relaxed and thankful expression: "Great, are you okay?"

"You are not dead?" Looking at Mu Qin with suspicion and distrust in the depths of his eyes. Then she looked Mu Qin up and down, found a lot of blood on Mu Qin's clothes, and laughed, "You're not dead!

" The killer stabbed me, but he ran after you before checking whether I was dead or not, and I saved my life with my medical card."

"Great, you're not dead!" Lu Jiayi smiled Splendid, she took a step closer to Mu Qin, and stretched out her hands to Mu Qin, trying to grab Mu Qin's arm.

For some reason, Mu Qin had a subtle sense of foreboding in his heart. He stepped back half a step without any trace, avoided Lu Jiayi's hand, and kept a distance from her.

Lu Jiayi seemed to be too lazy to put on a show with Mu Qin. She said with a smirk, "Since you are not dead, that's fine! I'll use you as my puppet!"

After Lu Jiayi said this , she immediately turned to Mu Qin. Qin rushed forward, and Mu Qin was slightly taken aback by her action, but even though Mu Qin was frightened, he still concentrated and calmly made an evasive move, and he subconsciously used his new skill "Death Awakening" ".

Speaking of which, this skill that once made Mu Qin feel useless, after Mu Qin tested it in the training ground in the safe house, he began to gradually understand the efficacy of this skill. In short...death Awareness of this skill is to enable Mu Qin to "micro-manipulate" his body better and more flexibly.

The passivity of death awareness allows Mu Qin to be extremely concentrated in a crisis state. The extremely concentrated Mu Qin will produce an interesting effect similar to "bullet time", that is, everything around him, the actions of people or animals, will Muchin's eyes looked very slow, like the super slow motion of the video deceleration.

Of course, the movements of these people or animals are not really slowed down, but Mu Qin's spirit...or his nerves are running too fast, because his thinking is too fast, so everything passes through his The eyes are clearly and quickly captured by him, and these images flow into his brain, and the information processing speed of his brain has also increased dozens of times, so in his highly concentrated mental state, everything around him is in his eyes They are extremely slow, and he can think about how to act in a slow manner.

This highly concentrated skill, coupled with the active effect of increasing body coordination, allows Mu Qin to perform micro-manipulation of his body in this state of concentration.

Generally speaking, no matter how concentrated the human spirit is, no matter how slow the things in front of him are in his eyes, the human body cannot keep up with the thinking. Because the muscle reaction speed of the body is limited, assuming that Mu Qin can use this mental concentration ability to see the bullets shooting at him at high speed, he can see the slow motion of the bullet flying and rotating in mid-air, and he will want to avoid the bullet , but his body couldn't keep up.

So this ability to increase body coordination is to allow his body to keep up. It allowed him to adjust his body in a short period of time, and made him tilt his head slightly within a few tenths of a second, just to avoid the bullet that was shot towards his forehead.

It's an amazing skill, but it takes a period of training and adaptation. Mu Qin has mastered it pretty well, so at the moment Lu Jiayi is rushing towards him, Mu Qin can subtly take a small step back to let Lu Jiayi The appropriate pounce fell through.

The frustrated Lu Jiayi was still a little dazed, she thought she could catch Mu Qin, but at the moment she rushed towards Mu Qin, Mu Qin retreated just right to make him dodge.

It was as if he had predicted her movements, and the moment she bent down and rushed out, Mu Qin had already started to back away.

At first, Lu Jiayi didn't realize that something was wrong, so she speeded up and tried to attack Mu Qin, but inexplicably, every time she attacked, she failed, and her hand was always dodged the moment she was about to touch the opponent, Mu Qin Qin's series of movements were as nimble as a slippery loach!

After several times of chasing and attacking in vain, Lu Jiayi realized that something was wrong, she glared at Mu Qin: "With your reflexes and dodging speed, it is impossible for you to be stabbed by that Zhou Yue!"

Mu Qin spread his hands Answer: "How is that impossible? His movements were indeed too fast. I didn't react, but I avoided the fatal injury at that moment, so I didn't die."

Lu Jiayi didn't catch Mu Qin, and was not discouraged. He kept laughing happily: "Very well, I just need someone like you, only you can fight against Zhou Yue! This idiot Shi Wen is useless at all, I wanted to use him as a puppet at first, but after thinking about it, even if his physique has With the blessing of the devil, there is no way to do two tricks under Zhou Yue's hands, it's too wasteful, it's better to let him use the Hanged Man to resurrect a better person."

Mu Qin vaguely knew that the inverted knife on Duan Qun's body disappeared. Where did the hanging man go, but he still didn't understand what the woman meant: "What do you want to do?"

Lu Jiayi said, "You are indeed very flexible, I guess this is probably the effect of one of your skills? But No matter what kind of skill it is, you can't use it all the time, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever!"

Then Lu Jiayi started to speed up crazily, she played the death card to the limit, and her petite figure also made her Speed ​​brought a huge advantage. Her speed at that moment was even close to the nerve reaction speed of Mu Qin's mental concentration. Mu Qin found that he underestimated this woman a little bit!
