Unlimited Cycles of Death

Chapter 56: Library 02┃ will only be as good as hi

On the board of the Inverse Star card, there is a beautiful woman with long silver hair. She was wearing a white gauze dance dress, walked down from the star screen in the night sky, and walked to the water of the galaxy.

The stars shone on the background behind her, and several golden carps surrounded the woman, with pale chrysanthemums blooming on the ground.

Carp is said to represent vitality, while chrysanthemum symbolizes hope.

The text on the back of the inverse star card reads these lines:

She gave desert travelers an oasis.

She gave the snow mountain visitors a fire.

She always gives you hope.

Or despair.

ps: group curse card, the human side will be shrouded in the shadow of despair, reducing the speed of everyone's movement. Every time a scene prop is destroyed, the speed of the human side will gradually decrease.

Muqin generally understands the role of the inverse star, which is to reduce the overall speed of the human side, and it looks like ... as long as the human side can destroy the props available in the map, the human speed can still be lower. This is an extremely useful card for ghosts, which can greatly reduce or prevent human progress from the game map.

But at the same time ... Muqin feels that the game in the marginal world is fair. Since such a card that is extremely beneficial to ghosts appears in a game, the human side will also draw a card that is also very beneficial to humans. So Muqin couldn't be too happy.

Muchin put the star in his hand back into his pocket. He lowered his head and began to think, since he entered the new game with the death card brought in from the outside, and in the beginning of the game, he was still drawing an inverse star ... then in this game, there will be another player who will randomly Draw a death card. Therefore, a so-called "double ghost" bureau has been formed.

Muqin faces not only human players, but also a player who is also a "ghost".

In this game, there will probably be one or two or more "newcomers" who have a high probability of getting a novice card fool, and of course there is the possibility of getting other cards. In addition to the newcomers, of course, there will be one or two "veterans", and maybe some of them will enter the new game like Muqin with various cards bought from the mall or card dealers.

So everything is unknown.

Muqin stopped thinking, and he began to look around to determine the scene he was in.

He is in a library.

And it's a very, very huge library.

This library has four floors and is a very large and huge space. The first floor is a spacious hall. Muqin visually measured a few hundred square meters. Except for the entrance to the library, the front desk, and the elevators upstairs and downstairs. In addition, the rest of the place is full of various wooden bookshelves.

The design of those bookshelves is very beautiful. Look carefully at the edges of the bookshelves and there are delicate carvings. Some bookshelves even have decorative lights. The decorative lights are mild in color and go in the style of Chinese antique decoration. feel.

The bookshelves are neatly arranged side by side, combined into a labyrinth-like intricate passageway, and rows of tables and chairs are arranged in the middle for those who borrow books to rest. These tables and chairs are also designed in Chinese style. They are rattan chairs. Library staff thoughtfully put dark brown square pillows on each chair.

All the corners and walls of the hall are furnished with small wooden shelves specially used for people to put books on hand, floor lamps with antique feel, and even ink stickers on the windows. There are some notice boards and warning posters hanging on the walls, asking the library not to smoke, noisy, or speak loudly, and at the same time let the people who read and borrow books take away the trash made.

This huge library adopts an open design. Like the chapel of the orphanage in Muqin's first game, the roof of the top floor can be seen directly from the first floor. The roof is very high and there is a huge hanging on it. Gorgeous chandelier, but the light source of that chandelier did not turn on.

Looking up at the lobby on the first floor, you can vaguely see the second, third, and fourth floors of the library, but because the lights on the upper floor did not turn on, the largest chandelier on the roof did not turn on, and it was all painted in black. The darkened claws of some kind of ghost completely separated the second, third and fourth floors from the first floor where Mu Qin was.

The only light source in this huge library seems to be these floor lamps, wall lamps in the lobby on the first floor, and a small table lamp on the front desk.

The library is not dilapidated, at least very different from the orphanage and the map of Despair Park that Muqin experienced. The bookshelves and books here are kept intact and the ground is clean and tidy. At first glance, it is often maintained, but it is just a huge space There was no one in it, and the needle fell quietly.

Muqin moved his steps and walked to the front desk of the library. He picked up a poster on the front desk desk with the name of the library-the X City Center Library.

"City Center Library ..." Mu Qin held the poster to himself, remembering it! He knows this place! Muqin High School is studying in City X. Every weekend when work is over, Mu Qin will go to this downtown library to borrow books. In addition to borrowing extracurricular books, there are also learning materials and thesis materials available here.

Mu Qin also brought Zhou Yue together, but Zhou Yue did not come after a couple of times. Zhou Yue was not very interested in the books in the library. Zhou Yue also had a special layout for Zhou Yue ’s mansion. The large study room is filled with all the books that Zhou Yue needs. As long as there are books he wants to read, the Zhou family will prepare them for him.

Because it was many years ago, this library never came back after Muqin joined the army. This downtown library was probably renovated after Muqin left, because the shape of the library is very different from Muqin's memory.

In the past, this library was a very common and closed building. It was also a four-story building. Each floor had seven or eight rooms. The rooms were divided into different types of books, and readers. If you want a book, go to that separate compartment.

But now, this library seems to have demolished the internal rooms or compartments, and changed the entire building into a large open space. All the bookshelves and books are displayed, which is not only spacious and bright, but also invisible. Expanding the space allows for more bookshelves and books.

Coupled with the beautiful design, it can also attract more readers.

But now, Muqin does not like this design very much.

Too spacious to conceal.

Muqin, who became a "ghost", needed to hide himself.

Then, Mu Qin found a knife sandwiched in the magazine on the shelf next to the front desk. Mu Qin heard Zhou Yue said that when they become ghost players, a knife will be randomly refreshed near their birth point, which is a weapon for ghost players, but if you do n’t take this knife, you will do as you want, and this knife Can be taken away and used by the human side.

Mu Qin chose to take it. He held the handle to look at the blade, and watched Xueliang's blade dimly reflect his face.

Trying to hide yourself before the human side, and then destroy each human one by one, this game mode is not bad, but Muqin feels too slow.

He doesn't have time to spend with others. Since he wants to kill people, let's be thorough.

He didn't kill anyone anyway.

Speaking of the case of the gold shop robbery that year, the judge was right that Muqin was not in self-defense, he was killing.

The moment he raised his muzzle and exploded the robber's head, the thought in his mind was-hitting the bullseye!

Muchin felt a little suffocated in his chest, and his hand holding the blade trembled slightly. He took a deep breath. He held the handle with his right hand, and made a knife stroke on the palm of his left hand with the blade, and blood suddenly burst out of the cut wound like a pearl. Then Mu Qin clenched the injured left hand, and when he opened it again, the wound on the palm of his left hand healed. Except for the blood remaining on the hand, the wound completely disappeared.

"The pain is reduced, but there is still a slight pain." Mu Qin felt the feeling of hurting himself with the blade just now. Zhou Yue said that the killer is immune to pain and dizziness. I am afraid that he is not completely immune, but he has strong resistance to pain Ability, this is probably to alleviate the discomfort caused by the killer when he is seriously injured and heals at high speed.

Because of the reduction in pain perception, general dizziness does not have much effect on the killer. To stop the killer, you must deal great damage to the killer, or use cards from Tarot cards that can stun or control the killer. It ’s no wonder that the card merchant Viscount told Muqin that as long as you are a human, you must not let the killer get the inverse pope. The inverse pope is immune to all negative effects. The killer who gets this kind of card ca n’t be controlled without immortality. That ’s completely Is invincible.

Mu Qin squeezed his fist again. When he squeezed his fingers, the skeletal joints of his fingers made a squeaky sound. He could obviously feel the strength of his physical strength. This was a very mysterious and unspeakable feeling, but he knew that he was now He is so powerful that he believes he can lift the huge bookshelf full of books next to him with one hand.

With such power, and it will not die, it is no wonder that in the eyes of the killer, the human side can be slaughtered just like a soft white rabbit.

But he still can't be rushed, because Mu Qin hasn't figured out the "hole cards" that human beings have. At least he has to figure out what cards they hold and what effect they have before Mu Qin can really start.

Muqin then took a newspaper placed on the front desk shelf and glanced at the distribution map of the library on the front desk wall, remembering the general division of the library and the location of the entrance and exit. Then he left the front desk area, and he walked along the wall. There should be a toilet on the first floor of the library in front of him. He was going to go around the toilet.

Because Mu Qin feels that there is a high probability that the toilet in the library is a "birth point". The map of this game is such a large library. In addition to the entrance of the library, Mu Qin vaguely remembers that there is a back door. These two doors are probably the "exit" of the map. , Is the key to escape from the map, which is the main task of the human side.

Although the library looks quite large, as a battlefield for six people, it is actually very, very small. Therefore, Mu Qin can easily guess that six players should be refreshed in different places of the library, first floor, second floor, third floor, and fourth floor. Each floor may be brushed by one or two people. The location is really easy to guess.

Since Muqin was "born" on the first floor, and the first floor is very wide and still lit, Muqin didn't hear footsteps, and no one was seen, then it is assumed that someone is "born" on the first floor like Muqin If so, the other party must be somewhere that Muqin can't see on the first floor. Where is it?

One is in a closed elevator going upstairs, and the other is the bathroom.

After all, the elevator is a tool for going up and down the stairs. If people refreshing upstairs come down, it is easy for Mu Qin to hit more than one person. So Muqin decided to try his luck in the toilet and see if he could hit an unlucky egg.

If Muqin didn't meet anyone in the toilet, he would go in and cut his own hands ... and wash his blood off.

Mu Qin quickly found the toilet. When he approached the toilet, he slowed his pace and lowered his footsteps. Walking quietly was an important part of what he learned in the army.

The reason why Mu Qin was walking quietly was because he heard the sound coming from the toilet-he was right, the toilet was indeed the birthplace of one of them, and someone was refreshed here.

Not only was it refreshed here, but the faucet was also turned on. After putting in the water for a while, Mu Qin heard the other party turn off the faucet.

The voice came from the women's toilet on the right, but the other party was male or female.

Mu Qin didn't rush into the women's toilet. He thought about it at the door, took out the knife and cut a knife in his own hand, then threw the blood on the ground, forged the bleeding traces, and then dripped the blood while calmly calmly. Step ... quietly walked into the men's toilet next to him, he deliberately pulled the door of the men's toilet, made a sound, and then hid in the shadow behind the door of the men's toilet.

It depends on the man being fooled.

If the other party is a newcomer, when they hear the sound, and then see this blood, they may be curious and worried, especially for those who have compassion, when they see the blood, they are worried that someone is injured? So he would definitely come in and take a look. As long as the man did this, he would immediately fall into Muqin's trap. Muqin could cover his mouth from behind him and cut his throat.

If the other party is not fooled and turns away after seeing the blood stains, then it is likely to be a veteran. Of course, some veterans will be full of confidence, even if they know it is a trap, they will come in to investigate, and they will be tense at all times to guard against the attack of the killer.

Thinking about these possible situations, Mu Qin took a deep breath and then calmly waited. He has already figured out how to play this game. He doesn't plan to appear in front of anyone, because he is too lazy to disguise himself, it takes time and energy to lie, and it is a waste of time, especially Muqin. He must not let go of this inverse star. Therefore, Muqin decided to take the form of assassination.

Assassination has a great advantage. As long as Mu Qin is fast enough and hides enough, he can kill the opponent without even playing cards.

In this way, Muqin does not have to ponder over how to deal with human side cards.

After all, there is another killer. Mu Qin does not know who the other party is, or the strength of the other party. This method is the best.

In this way, Mu Qin continued to hide behind the door of the men's toilet calmly, and waited for less than a minute. The person next to the women's toilet seemed to be unable to bear it, and came out slowly from the inside. The sound of the toilet door, and the sound of careful footsteps.

The other party seemed to find the blood on the ground, and he must have seen the hidden men's toilet door along the blood. Mu Qin could feel the other party was hesitating. He saw the blood, and what would he do? Come in and check it out, or are you afraid to turn around and leave?

Mu Qin was motionless. He was very patient and was not afraid or worried about what would happen next. For the first time, he found that he was actually similar to Zhou Yue. To a certain extent, they were quite cold-blooded and ruthless. people.

The bait was sprinkled, and the prey outside finally failed to resist the vigorous curiosity. Muqin heard the other's voice moving towards the men's bathroom, and his footsteps were getting closer to Muqin.

Mu Qin stepped back without a trace, completely immersed himself in the darkness, holding his breath and listening intently to the outside movement, he clearly heard that the other party came to the door of the men's bathroom.

Then the man started to push the door. The door was gently pushed open a gap, and the light from the outside came in, and the light formed a long and thin strip on the ceramic floor of the toilet. Then the man seemed afraid, and didn't walk in immediately, but probed his brain outside and whispered into the toilet, "Is anyone there?"

It's a woman's voice.

Very thin, very soft and young voice, seems to tremble with fear.

The female voice gave Mu Qin a slight stun, but still waited in silence.

The woman saw that there was no response from the men's toilet for a long time, swallowed the throat and pushed the door more open, and the door squeaked with her push, and then she took two steps inside and began to explore the wall next to the door. Seems to be looking for a switch to turn on the toilet light.

Mu Qin stepped behind her when she reached out to find the toilet light switch. She covered her mouth and nose with her left hand to prevent her from speaking out, and right-handed the knife against the woman's neck. He should have done it immediately. Muqin hesitated for a moment while cutting the throat of the poor woman.

If the other person is a man, maybe Mu Qin will start, but the other person is a woman ...

It's not because the other person is a woman that Mu Qin would look down on her, but this woman is obviously a pure novice, the toilet is so dark, there is blood on the ground, and the situation is obviously so dangerous. She still ventured in and wanted to turn on the lights. Depending on the situation, it was so stupid that Muqin couldn't bear to look straight.

So Mu Qin hesitated. He didn't choose to cut the sword immediately, but restrained her and let go, so the woman instinctively began to struggle. This was also the first time Mu Qin realized the power of the death card. The woman's fierce struggle struck him. It was tickling, and she didn't even feel like she was struggling.

Mu Qin covered the woman's mouth with her left hand, and grabbed her neck with her right hand holding the knife. She dragged her back to the shadow of the toilet. Muqin was slightly relaxed in the middle, and she let go of her hand covering her mouth and nose, because she felt that covering her mouth and nose made her almost choke. Then the woman got rid of Mu Qin's shackles, she made a strong gasp and stumbled to try to escape, but she was very fragile, and she just fell a foot and fell to the ground immediately after taking a step.

So Mu Qin crouched down, grabbed the woman's shoulders and turned her over, holding her by the neck and pressing her to the ground.

In fact, Mu Qin was only holding her neck lightly and lightly, but she still seemed to be narrowed and rolled her eyes. She grabbed Mu Qin's hand and struggled hard. Mu Qin carefully took advantage of the light projected from the toilet. A glance at the woman's face.

This is a very young woman ... or should be called a girl. She is at least 19 or 20 years old, with a thin body and a height of about 1.6 meters. She is more than a little shorter than Muqin and weighs less than 100. Fortunately, Mu Qin can hold her up with one hand. She has long black hair up to the waist, looks very pretty, has a goose egg face, and has small and exquisite facial features.

The girl was terrified, especially when Mu Qin took hold of her, and raised the chilling blade in her hand, she was frightened to cry.

She didn't cry, Mu Qin was holding her neck so that she couldn't speak, she could only suffocate to the extreme short breath, and she kept tearing, and Douda's tears came from her eyes. pop up. Mu Qin glared at her, holding the knife and not knowing where to go, but finally sighed, let go and let her run away.

Seeing Mu Qinsong letting go, the girl froze, and sobbed up. Her feet seemed to be really stumped, and she couldn't run fast when she stood up. She ran to the door of the toilet one step at a time and just wanted to go out, but Mu Qin walked in two steps and reached out to grab the girl's arm. . "

The girl was frightened by him, and she didn't dare to move. She stood obediently and breathed quickly.

She seemed to understand that at this moment only the obedient can let the perpetrators let go of themselves.

Holding the girl's hand, Mu Qin kept sighing. He still overestimated his consciousness. He felt that he could kill anyone without a word. In fact, he could do it, but he didn't think about it. In the beginning, I faced such a girl who was so innocent and was out of breath that there was no way to start! ?

Obviously there are no real innocent people in this game.

Muqin still couldn't be truly cold-blooded, because he was so well-educated, especially in the years around his adoptive parents, his adoptive parents were good people, they only taught Muqin to do the right thing, After receiving such an excellent education from an early age, the best side will be engraved on Muqin's soul. Muqin will eventually only become as good as his adoptive parents.

So in the end, Muqin couldn't help sighing, he thought:

Just let's not kill the girl first, stay with her and use her as a cover.

Originally, Mu Qin wanted to assassinate all human beings and another killer, but now that this variable exists, he becomes even more responsive.

Muchin made up his mind and asked the girl in a low voice, "What's your name?"

The girl trembled slightly and replied, "Chu ... Chu Xin, my name is Chu Xin."

Mu Qin thought for a moment and continued to the girl: "Chu Xin, listen, from now on, my identity is your boyfriend and you are my girlfriend. Everyone else you meet next, if you ask you, you You have to tell people I'm your boyfriend, you know? "

Chu Xin slowly returned: "Know ... Know ..."

"Don't leave my sight, don't leave me." Mu Qin said lowly and gently, "As long as I am by my side, no one can hurt you."
