Muqin sat on the throne for a while, and the time passed by a minute and a second. The map of the throne was still silent. Without Muqin's drive, the thorns and vines around him shrank calmly and firmly.

The faceless person has never appeared again. Muqin couldn't understand the faceless person's thoughts, but he felt that the faceless person would definitely come back to find him.

Before the faceless man came back to find him, Mu Qin knew he could not sit still. He pondered for a long time and decided to take some risky actions.

For example, try the power of the Butterfly Throne.

The king who had been killed by Muqin before had the power to possess and control the mind of some ordinary people in the real world. Zhou Yue's mother, who was once possessed by the king, is a typical example.

Mu Qin feels that he should also be able to do it. If he can control people in this world, he may be able to determine Zhou Yue ’s situation through the body and eyes of others. Mu Qin wants to see if Zhou Yue is in the real world. Wake up safely ... whether you have a good life.

However, the idea of ​​"going to see Zhou Yue in the real world" just made a spin in Mu Qin's mind and was quickly rejected by Mu Qin.

This idea was rejected because Mu Qin was worried that if he returned to the present world and controlled someone to see Zhou Yue, would this behavior be discovered by faceless people? If the faceless person finds out, what will the faceless person do to Zhou Yue ... Mu Qin's inestimable behavior?

Muqin was scared. Although he looked very calm now, sitting calmly on the throne with a calm look, but in fact Muqin was so scared that he could not restrain his body from shaking.

He was afraid that Zhou Yue would be killed by a faceless person.

Before, the faceless person just destroyed Zhou Yue's corpse in the marginal world in front of Mu Qin, which made Mu Qin like a bird of surprise.

Mu Qin does not know whether the faceless person has hurt Zhou Yue's soul or destroyed Zhou Yue's body in the real world. But whenever he thought of the possibility, Muqin felt terrified.

He didn't want Zhou Yue to die.

Despite this fear, Mu Qin still could not ask the faceless person about the matter related to Zhou Yue, because it is likely to offend him.

Faceless people are the will of the world, controlling the entire marginal world, and can even control all players in the marginal world. The power of Mu Qin is inestimable. Once annoyed, Zhou Yue is very likely to lose his life.

For now, Muqin can only do his best to keep his own footsteps and act conservatively.

As long as he is no longer connected with Mu Qin, Zhou Yue will become a normal person again, and he will live normally in the normal world.

Although Mu Qin still wanted to see him, he wanted to put aside the burden and desperate.

In this duel, Muqin was not completely without chips.

Muqin knew that the faceless man should have some strange ... attachments to him?

Like the feeling of wanting to be together forever.

Muqin did not know if he had inadvertently spied the memory of the world's will, as King said. In short, those dreams that Muqin dreamed of ... those dreams about the two brothers of Amuashin.

Through these dreams, Muqin grasped an important message. He believed that the faceless man was likely to have evolved from one of the brothers Amuashin.

But he wasn't sure which one it was.

Muqin glanced at the character of the faceless man. Judging from the current behavior and personality of the faceless person, although the faceless person claims to be Ashin, Muqin believes that he is not Ashin.

A Xin in the dream is more lively, cheerful and wanton. A Xin has a favorite girl and is a very laughable teenager.

And Axin's brother Amu is more in line with the image of the faceless person now, gentle and a bit indifferent, and has a very deep obsession with his younger brother.

However, this is just Mu Qin's personal thoughts. How can the truth not be studied? After all, what Mu Qin dreamed of is incomplete. What happened to the brothers Amuashin later and what caused one of them to become today's faceless person, Muqin still knows nothing about this.

"He claims to be Axin and considers me his brother Amu." Muqin reached out a little anxiously and grabbed the messy hair on his head, sinking into a mystery like a bottomless pit.

There must be something wrong with it,

Muqin is sure that he is not Amu or Axin. He is not one of the two brothers. He exists independently in this world. He has pure self-will ... This kind of unfounded confidence is strange, but Mu Chin never questioned himself.

But if Muqin is no one, why did he appear here, why was he selected, and why was he born?

Don't think again.

If you want more, you won't get the exact answer. It's better to deal with the things in front of you.

Muqin decided to put aside his heavy thoughts temporarily, to empty his mind and relax his body. He stretched out his hand to rest on the armrest of the throne, and slowly realized the new power that the throne gave him.

...

At the same time, Kim has ended the map of the "sports hall" on the board and successfully escaped, returning to his own safe house.

King is the only human survivor on the gym map, and he walked back and forth with the ghost many times, so he received a considerable reward.

At this moment, Jin is clearing his reward points, visiting the game mall, and visiting the card merchants on the "blackboard" to see if there are any items or cards that can be bought and sold.

While King was talking to the card merchant through the blackboard, a blond stranger left a message next to the handwriting he engraved. The stranger wrote in Morse code: Have time? I need to talk to you, number 13.

At the end of this sentence, the stranger also carved a simple butterfly pattern.

After seeing this stranger's message, Jin shrinks his pupils and even stops breathing, but he calms down quickly and chats with this stranger who is inexplicably connected. Morse code and some special titles, carved line after line of dialogue.

King wrote: I think you should have a good life, butterfly.

Stranger Back: Butterfly? Your puzzles are as bad as ever.

Jin Xiao continued to write on the blackboard: If it really sucks, you wouldn't use butterflies as signs ... So how are you doing now?

Stranger: I don't know, maybe it is monitored, so I borrowed the hand and pen of a strange friend to talk to you.

Jin Jinghuan: Are you attached to others? On a player?

Stranger: Of course, since I got this "power and power", I naturally use it well, but I am a newbie and can't persist for too long. We need to make a quick decision.

Kim Hui: OK, what do you want to know?

Stranger: I need you to explain your situation.

King seemed to understand the other party's meaning, and wrote: I also want to explain, but there are too many things involved. One by one, I will tell you the most important ones.

King then wrote a lot of dense characters on the blackboard, using Morse code mixed with various pinyin symbols, traditional Chinese characters, and italics. Because there were too many mixed passwords and passwords, strangers could not read it all at once. Bring a pen and paper, and copy the handwriting of gold on the blackboard.

These contents of Jin are written very slowly, and it seems to be intentionally stuck on the erasing time of the blackboard, so when a stranger writes down this large series of contents, the erasing effect of the blackboard slowly begins to erase the contents written in front of Jin. Off.

Kim: I think you should copy everything I wrote with a pen, you can slowly read it.

Jin: The situation is a little bad. My defense mechanism is on. In order to avoid being discovered by the Lord, we will disconnect first. I will immediately start a new game to confuse the audiovisual. After eight hours, I will be on the blackboard again. leave a message.

After saying these words, Kim no longer continued to lettering on the blackboard, and the handwriting on the blackboard completely disappeared with the passage of time, because there are other players on the blackboard to write messages, and many new handwritings will gradually emerge. The stranger's conversation is like a drop in the ocean in this "message of ocean", which is soon forgotten.

The "stranger" who talked to Jin was a newcomer who had just joined the marginal world. His name was Wang Yu, male, 35 years old, and died of murder. His system code was 4657.

Not long ago, Wang Yu had just gone through the first level of his novice, and escaped with a lifetime of death. After returning to the safe house, his personal system began to tell him some basic knowledge of the marginal world.

However, halfway through the system, Wang Yu suddenly trembled, bowed his head for a while, then turned to ignore the talking system. Wang Yu walked to the blackboard for players to communicate with, and came with a knife, pen, and paper, and talked to someone on the blackboard by himself.

Each player has a personal system. The personal system takes one-on-one service for life, in addition to taking care of the player's daily life in the safe house and related to the game. In other respects, the personal system is also a monitor, which will transmit the player's behavior in the safe house in the form of data to the "main system" of the marginal world.

The "main system" of the marginal world is equivalent to the deputy of the will of the marginal world, an all-round AI deputy, responsible for the maintenance and repair of the marginal world, and manages the sub-systems of the players-the personal system of the players, and the monitoring in the game map The system, the operating system of the card mechanism, and so on, all belong to the branches of the main system.

Whenever a player dies, the player's exclusive personal system will be deleted by the main system accordingly, but the personal data of the deceased player will be saved in the database of the main system.

Every day, these sleepless and hard-working personal systems constantly upload data to the main system. The data is the pictures recorded by the personal system when the player is moving in the safe house.

There are thousands of players in the marginal world, and everyone's videos will be uploaded simultaneously. Because the data is relatively large, the main system will only scan it roughly to confirm the physical and mental status of the players.

Most of the players in the marginal world are actually not very good in mental state, especially those who have been in a closed and depressed environment for a long time, their behavior and words are a little crazy.

Among so many crazy players, this guy Wang Yu is particularly inconspicuous. Even though he talks with Jin on the blackboard for a long time, and is cracking some Morse passwords and various complicated passwords that he has never learned before, but He didn't get the attention of the main system at all.

This can't be blamed on the main system. Although the main system monitors and controls most of the systems and maps in the marginal world, there are still some places that it can't control: the throne map and the king.

Once a butterfly throne appears in a map and a player sits on it to become a king, then from the moment the king "embarks on the throne," the throne map is separated from the control of the main system and becomes an independent map. Its power also exists independently.

These throne maps and kings are not under the management of the Lord, but are monitored and controlled by the will of the world.

Maybe it is because the power is too strong. Long and long ago, the will of the fringe world was blocked by something called "rules". The rules made the will of the fringe can only be wanton in its own marginal world. The reality outside the world, it is not allowed to touch, and never reach.

Because it can't directly interfere with reality, Marginal Will has thought of a way. Although it can't directly control the life and death of people in the real world, it can invade the dreams of ordinary people in the real world and affect the will of the person by dreaming.

The early marginal world was established in this way. The marginal will constantly invaded other people's dreams, allowing these dreamers to record the things they dreamed of in various forms, so they left each in the real world. Various "media".

Those who come into contact with these media will be imprinted with the mark of the marginal world, and those who bear the mark will be drawn into the world free from the edge of death and dream after death.

Later, Marginal Will found a way to make it more convenient to interfere with reality.

That is to create the Butterfly Throne, let some confused souls wandering in the marginal world, board this seat to become a king, and give them a certain degree of strength.

The king's strength is much weaker than the fringe will, so the kings will not be easily obstructed by "rules."

Therefore, the king can directly invade the real world and attach to some people, which is also what the fringe will want.

It is a pity that these kings are too weak. Their possession time cannot last too long, and those who are possessed and controlled by them will have negative effects and destructive power during their actions. "Rules" amended, memories were cleared, and results were tampered with.

Previously, Mu Qin and Zhou Yue and other people thought that in the real world, the reason they would be erased from the memory related to the margins, modified by things related to the marginal world, these are the will of the marginal world ... Not at all.

It's all rules.

Marginal will ... In fact, it has always been expected that the world will be aware of its existence and that the world will know the existence of the marginal world, but it cannot.

Rule does not allow.

What exactly are rules, and when did they come into being? These ... Even if the marginal will is so strong, it still hasn't been completely understood.

The rule is a huge barrier that staggers between the edge and reality, perfectly separating the two worlds.

The more powerful you are, the more you are bound by the "rules."

But the marginal will is always reconciled.

It must return to the real world.

...

After a series of calculations, Wang Yu finally solved the secret left by him.

Don't look at the long list of contents left by Jin Yu to Wang Yu. In fact, after all the interpretation is complete, the content is not much.

King mentioned a lot of things, but some of them were already known by Wang Yu.

For example: the fringe world will "update". Every time you update, the edge world will delete files completely, all player data, map data, card props skills and other data will be completely eliminated.

The files are deleted, and the players will die. The only way to avoid death is to find the butterfly throne and climb onto the throne to become a king.

The renewal period requires fifteen years. Fifteen years later, the fringe world will automatically restart, absorbing new souls and becoming new players in the game.

These points are known to Wang Yu.

And those things he didn't know ... King wrote:

First, the next update of the fringe world will come soon. The update date is about six months after the full moon, almost half a year later.

Second, the last update of the fringe world was twenty-four years ago, and the update required fifteen years to completely close the fringe world. But fifteen years later, the fringe world did not automatically restart as scheduled, but was delayed for a full five years, and was artificially opened four years ago.

Third, the group of people who opened the marginal world four years ago are believers in the marginal world. This group of people have spiritual problems. It is reported that after being repeatedly invaded by the will of the world, they have been mentally oppressed for a long time, causing their minds to collapse Kim's parents are one of a group of people with abnormal behavior. King didn't know exactly what method they used to restart the game.

Fourth, Jin was regarded as a "sacrifice" by his parents. He was forced to kill and killed by his parents, and then came to the marginal world. Like his parents, he was invaded by the will of the world for a long time, so he formed a "believer" personality, and was also affected by some of the emotions of the world's will.

Fifth, King has done many investigations in the marginal world. The main investigation items are: why did the marginal world not restart as scheduled nine years ago, and how did his parents ’believers restart the marginal world four years ago?

Sixth, survey result 01: When the marginal world was about to restart nine years ago, an unidentified person took the core of the marginal world and "sealed" it by unknown means.

Finding 02: The group of parents including Golden Parents found the core and lifted the seal, restarting the marginal world.

King tried to list everything he knew and wrote it very briefly. At the end of what he wrote, he ended up with a sentence: "I never expected that I would escape the day of birth, but I want to end this all."

Wang Yu sat down on the floor with his head crossed and folded his hands on the knees. He bit the pen and flipped through the materials several times, then took out the lighter in his pants pocket and burned the paper.

Burning was still not enough. Wang Yu turned his head, pointed to the residual ashes of the burnt paper on the ground, and said to the system behind him: "Trash is cleared for me."

Wang Yu's personal system activated the safe house cleaning mode, and all garbage disappeared instantly.

Wang Yu didn't speak again, he sat still at the blackboard again, looking at the blackboard in a daze.

After a while, Wang Yu suddenly shook his body. He suddenly raised his head and stood up. He looked around and showed an inexplicable expression.

"What just happened?" Wang Yu felt as if he had briefly lost consciousness. "Am I asleep?"

Wang Yu's personal system responded to him: "The player is awake and not asleep."

"What?" Wang Yu was even more baffled, struggling to scratch his head, but wondering what was strange, he said to the system, "System ... You should have explained the rules of the game to me, right? Where did you say that? I don't seem to pay much attention to it. "

The system is very patient: "If the player does not pay attention to listening, the system can repeat it for the player. Do I need to explain the rules of the game from scratch?"

"Say, I'll listen to it again." Wang Yu forgot about the problem that just seemed unconscious and returned to the system.

...

In a deserted throne map, Muqin sitting on the throne opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that there was a person sitting next to him. This person appeared abruptly, making Mu Qin shiver without any trace. He had to admit that he was startled.

But even when frightened, Mu Qin had a hard time showing his face, and he calmly turned to look at the sudden appearance next to him.

"I thought you wouldn't come to me." Mu Qin said this intentionally. "After all, we get along ... it doesn't seem pleasant."

"How could that be?" The faceless man answered Muqin in a gloomy voice. "We still have a long time to spend together. There will always be friction between us, as long as we adapt."

After all, the faceless man paused and turned to look at Mu Qin, mainly to see the bruising on his neck, "I'm sorry, I can't control my emotions well, so I hurt you ... I won't do it next time. "

The sight of the faceless man also made Mu Qin touch his neck. Mu Qin laughed sarcastically, "It hurts someone ... there will be a second time when you have the first time. You can't convince me if you say it. . "

"I don't want to fight with you, Muqin." The faceless voice was mild and helpless. "I care about you, and I need you."

"So you have to give me a reason?" Mu Qin sneered. "I have never met you and don't know you. You are a stranger to me. Why should I respond to the expectations of a stranger?"

The faceless man seemed to be excited again: "I'm Axin, how could you not know me !?"

"You are not Axin." Muqin retorted, "I am not Amu either."

"Don't make me angry, Muqin." The faceless voice was full of threats.

It is true that Mu Qin is not afraid to anger the other person, but Wei Nuo Nuo does what he does not want to do in accordance with the wishes of others, which is not in line with Mu Qin's personality.

So Mu Qin looked at the vague face of the U Faceless man expressionlessly. There were some ripples in his heart, and he seemed to think of something interesting. So he smiled at the U Face Man: "A Mu and A Xin Are dead. "

This sentence was Muqin's temptation. In fact, he didn't know how the brother died or how he died, but he had such conjectures, although he was not sure.

But the reaction of the faceless man quickly confirmed Muchin's conjecture, and the faceless man gloomed: "Death ... is just a new beginning."

"Is the person who restarted really the original one?" Muqin asked again.

"Of course!" The faceless person emphasized, "of course the original one!"

"Someone told me," Muqin said. "The deceased will go to a place where there is darkness and peace, extremely calm, and nothing."

"They will lose all memories, no trace of emotion, no hate and no love. They will wander aimlessly and become one with the darkness. They will have nothing and will naturally lose nothing.

Mu Qin looked at the faceless person seriously: "Do you really think that the person who woke up from that place will be the original person?"

"Shut up, Mu Qin." The faceless man Ling Ling said, "Don't say these nonsense ... these things, of course, I know very well."
