Since he promised Zhou Yue to enter the fringe world to play games with him, of course Cruise can't break his promise.

And Zhou Yue told him that the game he wants to play is very simple, there is no need to kill, intrigue, or fight with one's life. There is only one thing for Cruise to do -

Cruise must enter the fringe world as a player. The safe house, and then wait in the safe house with other players, waiting for Zhou Yue to issue tasks to them.

The game is officially over only when the task is completed.

During this period, Cruise can communicate with other players through the blackboard. All players can do, Cruise can also do, and Cruise will also have an exclusive player personal system.

"I have what all players have, but I will also die like a player, right?"

Zhou Yue's description reminded Cruise of other aspects, and he couldn't help guessing, "You want me to die on the edge In the world, is it convenient to trap me?"

According to the setting of the border world, the souls of players who die in the border world will also sink in the bottom darkness of the border world and become the nutrient that supports the world.

In that dark ocean, the soul will be slowly worn away emotional memory and will. As scary as it sounds, there is actually an upside.

At least, in the fringe world, the speed of soul collapse is much slower than outside.

The soul has freshness, just like many flowers, fruits, vegetables, egg milk fish. With the passage of time, the soul will slowly disintegrate and cleanse, becoming primitive energy, turning into breeze or drizzle, and blending into the heaven and earth.

The fringe world is a refrigerator designed by the Cruise family to maintain the freshness of the soul. But it can only maintain freshness to a certain extent, and cannot completely prevent the decay of the soul.

Clearly, Cruise has kept the souls of his kindred in the freezer for so long, and his kindred has pretty much rotted away.

And Cruise is still trying to combine these rotten souls with fresh human souls to save them.

However, the huge refrigerator in the marginal world cannot intercept living souls. Assuming that the player has a body of his own in the real world, and that body is still alive -

then at this time, the body will always be against his soul. It exudes a natural attraction, which is extraordinary, so that the soul is guided, and the confused soul will immediately embark on a special way home.

Unable to be affected by any external force, everyone's soul will return to their own body smoothly. But it was because of this that Cruise couldn't help but doubt Zhou Yue's... because Cruise was a dead soul.

His original body had been destroyed long ago...or rather, he died long ago, thousands of years ago.

"So you want to trap me somewhere so that you can implement your unknown plan..." Cruise almost saw through Zhou Yue's purpose, "Do you still want to kill me? In this way?"

Ke Ruth has a lot of spare bodies. Human, animal, and replica alien shells.

The human or animal body naturally cannot give Cruise's soul any "guidance". The cloned alien shell might light the way.

But because it doesn't adapt to the earth's environment, this kind of body cannot be used at will. So, even if Cruise returned to the cloned alien body, he would be trapped in a cramped hibernation cabinet at the mercy of others.

That's why Cruise felt that Zhou Yue's move was to trap him, or even kill him in this way.

"How is this possible?" Seeing Cruise's unpredictable expression, Zhou Yue dispelled Cruise's speculation and said with a smile, "I absolutely don't have any thoughts of killing you... Even if I did, it couldn't be Now."

"So you do want me dead," Cruise confirmed.

"Didn't you know this a long time ago?" Zhou Yue held back his impetuous heart and tried his best to stabilize the other party: "I said before that the condition for me to cooperate with you in the experiment is to let you die."

"I can understand your urge to murder me, but that must be after the experiment." Cruise emphasized, "You'd better not do any strange things in the game. I will prepare some safety procedures in advance, once I If something is wrong, I will leave the marginal world and return to reality."

"It's not fair at all." Zhou Yue acted as if he really wanted to play the game seriously, and refused to give in at all, paranoid, " All players are trapped in the fringe world to accept missions, but you are the only one who can enter and exit at will, so what's the point of this game?"

"So I have to accompany you to waste four hours in the game?" Crewe Si narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Yue.

"So what? You won't even be able to spend this little time?" Zhou Yue laughed at the other party, "If you really don't want to, I won't force you. Fishing and killing are what I'm best at."

Cruise gritted his teeth, Stared at Zhou Yue for a while. After a long while, he calmed down the anger that was churning in his heart a little, and took a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards, Cruise said softly: "Well, since you want to play such a boring game so much, I can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman."

"I can't leave halfway." Zhou Yue spread her hands and smiled, "But four After the hour game time is over, you can go out, isn't that great? Compared to those players who will be trapped in the marginal world forever."

"The condition of not being able to leave halfway is too harsh, at least one Emergency exit option." Cruise decided to win himself a trump card, "Once it detects that my spare body in the real world is destroyed, the system will eject me from the game, what do you think of this condition?"

"Yes, I No objection." Zhou Yue shrugged and agreed, not wanting to push too hard.

"Okay, let's start like this." Cruise said and operated the crystal stone console.

When Cruise operated the console, the console would emit some short sounds, strange sounds, syllables that humans could not understand.

At this time, Zhou Yue on the opposite side of the screen suddenly spoke, and said meaningfully: "Whether we want to abide by the agreement between us depends on each other's self-awareness. After all, I am in a virtual dream, and you are in a cage of reality. Neither of us can interfere." The other party... I respect you, and I hope you can respect me, Cruise."

Zhou Yue's words made Cruise raise his head and look at Zhou Yue sharply. Cruise took his hands off the keyboard of the crystal console, and after a moment he smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are worthy of my respect."

Who knows?

After listening to Cruise's words, Zhou Yue frowned secretly, thinking darkly in her heart.

Afterwards, Cruise and Zhou Yue did not continue the conversation, and the two sides remained silent across the screen. Cruise lowered his head and was busy setting the console code. After a while of knocking, Cruise said: "I've got it done."

He looked up at Zhou Yue again, "When my body falls asleep, I will enter your The fringe world where you are, enter the safe house where you are, I hope you can welcome me, Zhou Yue."

"I will." Zhou Yue tilted her head slightly, grinning ferociously, "I am waiting for you here."

...

In order to enter the fringe world, Cruise must put the human body he hosts into a dormant state.

Ordinary human bodies cannot carry Cruise's soul, so Cruise specially made several transformed human bodies.

Although the transformed human body can indeed carry Cruise's soul, the transformation process is quite troublesome, and the transformation takes a lot of time and energy. As a result, these transformed human bodies are very precious, and Cruise does not want to destroy them easily.

In order not to destroy the valuable modified human body, Cruise decided to put it in a sleep cabinet. He got up and bid farewell to Zhou Yue, turned off the communication screen, and walked to the stable area full of sleep cabinets.

The hibernation cabinet is a high-strength container specially used by the Cruise family to preserve creatures.

At the same time, the dormant cabinet is filled with repair liquid, which can not only repair the damaged body, but also inhibit the growth and metabolic cycle, slow down the "time" of the creature, and stop it at this moment forever.

It's just that the repair fluid is easy to volatilize when exposed to the air, and it is expensive to make. It must be used with extreme savings and caution.

Therefore, Cruise specially installed a "stable area" in his spacecraft. Various dormant cabinets are displayed in the stable area. Each dormant cabinet is connected, and the repair fluid can be circulated and filtered inside.

When Cruise entered the stable area, he found a red light on the main console panel in the stable area.

The red light is on, which means that there is a problem with a sleep cabinet in the stable area, and it has stopped working. The automatic maintenance does not work, and manual maintenance is required, so the red light is on to give a warning.

Cruise frowned, he didn't have time to repair any cabinets, Zhou Yue was waiting for him.

And it's just a broken hibernation cabinet, not a big deal. Cruise didn't pay attention to this. He manipulated the console panel and called up a functioning and empty hibernation cabinet.

Taking off his coat and hanging it on the console panel, Cruise lay down in the withdrawn cabinet, and when the cabinet door was closed and the repair fluid was filled, he closed his eyes and entered a dormant state.

Less than two minutes after Cruise closed his eyes and "sleeped", the naked Mu Xing came out from a small dark corner, and carefully glanced at the sleep cabinet where Cruise lay in.

"He didn't notice us." Mu Xing whispered to himself. "Didn't you say that he has a special ability to detect enemies three kilometers away?"

Mu Chen said in Mu Xing's mind: "It's just a device to detect the surrounding environment, and it only detects when Cruise is out. In the spaceship, he is just a slightly stronger human being."

"So that's the case, then he has fallen asleep now, he must have listened to Zhou Yue's words and followed Zhou Yue to the edge of the world?"

Mu Chen said: "If the plan goes well, it should be like this."

Mu Xing was a little anxious, Said: "Let's not delay! Where is the bio-printer you mentioned?"

"Sorry, I only remember the appearance of the bio-printer and the room where it was placed. As for the specific route, I can't tell. I'm getting older, and there are many places I haven't been to."

"So we can only look for each room?" Mu Xing couldn't believe that his brother was such an unreliable guy.

Mu Chen was embarrassed for a moment, then remembered something, and said, "Don't worry, there is another way for us to quickly find that bioprinter."

"The bioprinter needs a lot of energy to work, and the high-power All the machines are connected to red 'cables' as thick as an arm."

"There is a 'meter box' on the wall at the door of each room that can be opened to check the 'electricity', as long as you see a red cable connected to the meter box, we will Then you can go into the room to check."

"I understand." Mu Xing understood, he nodded, walked out from behind the bunker, and walked towards the door of the stable area.

When passing by the main console in the stable area, Mu Chen said again: "Take Cruise's clothes away, he should have a spaceship pass card in his pocket, and..."

"...you have no clothes on." Chen was afraid that little Xingxing would feel cold.

"This is not my body." Mu Xing looked down at his naked body, and at a glance he saw the big bad guy below.

Mu Xing blushed suddenly, walked to the console without saying a word, and took away the jacket that Cruise had thrown on it.
