The Trial Game of Life

The East Cross Street in District F of Eternal Night City suddenly became turbulent.

Thirteen people disappeared into their room, leaving only a pool of blood, some of which had already dried up.No one knows who the murderer is.

And Tang Cuo didn't realize that the atmosphere outside East Cross Street was not quite right until he walked out of East Cross Street.Moreover, there were more players hovering at the exit of East Cross Street.

As soon as Tang Cuo walked out, he noticed that several eyes were fixed on him. He had received professional anti-reconnaissance training, so he was particularly sensitive to this.

He walked a few more steps as if nothing had happened, and then turned back immediately.

Jin Cheng occupied Tang Cuo's room again, and was reading the information sent to him by the Ruby Tavern.Seeing Tang Cuo coming back, he looked up like his master, "You're back?"

Tang Cuo: "Are there no chairs next door?"

Jin Cheng: "You guessed it right."

Tang Cuo: "..."

Only then did Jin Cheng explain: "Little brother Chi used it as his base camp, and now the death toll has reached 14, he might come to you crying later."

Tang Cuo poured himself a glass of water, "Aren't you checking?"

"You mean this?" Jin Cheng raised the paper in his hand, and said, "This is not the murder case, but Chi Yan's. Do you want to see it?"

Tang Cuo was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jin Cheng to copy Chi Yan's bottom line so quickly, but after thinking about it - this is Jin Cheng, his former instructor, and it's not surprising that he can do this.

Chi Yan's information is only a thin sheet, which records his basic movements from Area E to Area F, which is roughly the same as what he himself said.The rest of the paper records the known content of the copies in Area F, some of which are written in great detail, and some of which are only a few sentences.

Jin Cheng said: "There are all kinds of dungeons in Eternal Night City, and the ones here are actually only a small part. With our personality, it may be difficult to come across common dungeons, but be prepared. Take a look first and get familiar with the basic routines."

To put it bluntly, these materials are just dungeon strategies one after another, even if they are vague, at least they are hooked.But Tang Cuo wasn't too surprised, because it can be seen from the dungeon of Fengxueye Guiren that it is very difficult to randomize the dungeon so that he just knows the strategy.

Moreover, the price of these strategies must not be cheap, and I am afraid that ordinary players cannot afford them at all.

He scanned roughly and turned to the last page, but saw a familiar name, "An Ning?"

Jin Cheng said casually, "A young girl who entered the dungeon by herself is bold, careful, and her equipment looks good. Don't you find it curious?"

I think you are free.

Tang Cuo didn't have much curiosity about An Ning, Qian Wei, and Peng Mingfan. As long as they didn't make trouble for him, he didn't care who they were.

But what is written in this information is a bit interesting.

"Brother!" At this time, Chi Yan came again, entered the house and closed the door, and he called Tang Cuo for help, "It's too evil, and someone found it missing again, and more than a dozen people died but there was no shadow of the murderer. Didn't see it."

Unexpectedly, Tang Cuo poured cold water on his head again, "I'm afraid there are more than a dozen, and there is something wrong outside."

"How?" Jin Cheng asked.

"Judging from the dryness of the blood, this kind of thing has happened for several days. The reason why it was not discovered until today is because the new and old players have been fighting a few days ago, and the limelight is too strong. Moreover, I want to kill people to seek revenge Such things as robbing and seizing treasures should be very common in Eternal Night City, even if it happens every day, it is not surprising, unless there is a concentrated outbreak like today." Tang Cuo said.

Chi Yan pondered: "Could it be that a group of people are fishing in troubled waters? Taking advantage of the opportunity to kill and grab points when none of us noticed? Can points be directly robbed?"

Jin Cheng: "Of course. You'd better remind them to be careful. If they are killing people indiscriminately and there is movement outside, you can restrain them from making trouble for others. It doesn't mean that others won't come to make trouble for you. And the murderer To be able to get it that many times without anyone noticing is a testament to strength."

Chi Yan gasped, feeling a toothache.After he ran back in a hurry, Tang Cuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Jin Cheng, "Why do I feel like you know something?"

Jin Cheng spread his hands, "I know a lot, which one do you want to ask?"

After finishing speaking, Jin Cheng stood up and walked to the window.Today's Eternal Night City looks too quiet, which reminded him of many things, "Eternal Night City is a place outside the law, do you know what is the most difficult thing here?"

Tang Cuo's rare cooperation, "What?"

Jin Cheng: "It is here to establish a new order."

At this moment, Tang Cuo seemed to see the former Lieutenant Colonel Jin, even if he was not wearing a military uniform, his back was always tall and straight.But in the next second, he was leaning against the window sill again, "When I mentioned the prison, I suddenly thought of something. Half a year ago, the six districts jointly issued a wanted warrant. The whole city was encircled and suppressed, and probably hundreds of Personal. Counting the time, it seems that someone is coming out recently, and his knife skills and behavior style are very similar to criminal suspects."

Tang Cuo: "Six months in jail?"

"Of course not." Jin Cheng smiled, "I killed him back when he was released from prison."

Fine.

Tang Cuo suddenly felt that he should write a big-character poster and hang it on the outer wall, saying that Jin Cheng lives here, has many points and many enemies, so he should keep an eye on him and kill him so as not to make others suffer.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden commotion on Heishi Long Street.

Jin Cheng and Chi Yan next door poked their heads out almost at the same time, only to see someone fighting at the end of the long street, one of them took a magic path, and the scene was extraordinarily gorgeous.

"Boom—" A group of magical elements exploded, like fireworks during the New Year, causing people around to scurry like firecrackers.One of them hit the street lamp straight, bounced back to the ground, twitched a few times, and then dissipated into white light.

Chi Yan's eyes widened, he turned around and rushed downstairs.

Jin Cheng's movements were faster than his. With one hand he pushed himself out of the window, and his whole body fell to the ground like a roc, standing steadily in the middle of the long street.The battle at the end of the street has not stopped, and there is a tendency to escalate.The surrounding players hid and shouted, and the scene was in chaos.

But before Jin Cheng could make a move, a giant red net suddenly fell from the sky, covering the heads of those who hit hardest. With a sound of "swish", a pretty girl with short hair appeared on the lamppost, firmly grasped the rope in her hand, and tightened the net.

The few caught in the net immediately struggled, and one of the strong men looked up at her, with red eyes angrily said: "What are you doing?!"

The girl's face was full of frost, "I just wanted to ask you what you want to do?"

The strong man gritted his teeth, "I avenge the boss, why are you stopping me? Are you with them?!"

"Fart!" The girl jumped off the lamppost and gave him a kick without saying a word.That kick on the butt looked fierce, but in fact it didn't hurt anyone. Then she glanced around again, her eyes fixed on Jin Cheng.

"I can explain," she said.

"Explain what?" Jin Cheng folded his arms and looked at An Ning with a half-smile.The new players who were beaten to the ground just got up and hid behind Jin Cheng, glaring at An Ning one by one.

One of them gasped and snapped back: "Just now you rushed over to fight, we clearly didn't provoke you, and we didn't go outside to fight at all! It's too bullying!"

"Who did we provoke?!"

"Crazy, all fucking crazy!"

"You might as well hack me to death!"

New players who have just arrived in Eternal Night City have not yet experienced the baptism of game missions, and are almost driven crazy by this series of dangers.Who died and who was killed, what does it matter to them? !

But the boss is also unreasonable, Jin Cheng cast a cold look, "Shut up."

An Ning took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "Our boss was murdered early this morning. You may have heard of Cheng Ke from Area F."

Tang Cuo also came over.

An Ning nodded at him, and continued: "He died very strangely. There are basically no traces of hands in the room. Looking at the entire F area, there are very few who can do it. It happened that there were two people in East Cross Street. Great characters, so—they're impulsive."

Tang Cuo of Cheng Ke in Area F had seen it in the information about An Ning.This is probably one of the more powerful players in Area F. They have their own team, and An Ning is one of them.

Logically speaking, their team is not weak, and they should have advanced to Zone E long ago, but Cheng Ke is a person who seeks too much stability, and has been pressing not to advance.On the other hand, he still has people under him, that is, Huang Mao's group of scammers, who strengthen themselves by defrauding new players' points, which is a benefit that is not available in other districts.

Other than that, Cheng Ke was pretty safe.

"I'm sorry." An Ning finally had a look in the dungeon at this time, "I guessed it was you when I heard the news from East Cross Street before, but it was too late when I knew they were coming to make trouble. Yesterday Brother Wan Cheng has already decided to go to Zone E, and didn't want to conflict with you, but who knew it would—"

Jin Cheng interrupted her, "Two options, twenty points or go to jail."

An Ning's face changed slightly, as if she didn't expect Jin Cheng to be so merciless.The brawny man struggled even more violently, "Don't listen to him! Why do you have to pay twenty points, and send me to prison if you have the ability, and I can still be with the boss!"

"Why? Just because this is my rule." Jin Cheng smiled, but his tone became colder.

"Stop talking!" An Ning was furious, she didn't believe that Cheng Ke's murder had anything to do with East Cross Street.What is Jin Cheng's identity, would he care about a player from Zone F?

The chopper gang probably has nothing to do with them at all.And after getting along with one dungeon, An Ning felt in her heart that Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo were not the ones who just killed people to vent their anger.

"I'll hand it over." An Ning made a final decision, ignoring the calls of the strong man and others, and resolutely reached a settlement.Her attitude also made the new players around her feel a lot better.

I saw her swipe in front of her casually, and a trading box jumped out, exactly twenty points.Jin Cheng didn't answer it, turned his head and glanced at Chi Yan, "Come here."

Chi Yan: "Me?"

Jin Cheng: "Take it first, and give it to the unlucky ghost who was killed just now when he gets out of prison."

As soon as these words came out, Chi Yan didn't think there was anything wrong, but old players like An Ning and Zhuang Han were stunned.They all thought that Jin Cheng wanted to keep it for himself, but they didn't expect to give it away.

Is this his rule?

Maybe it was because Jin Cheng's rules were too unexpected, the strong men and the others stopped making trouble, their minds were forced to calm down, and everyone kept their faces sullen and silent.

Tang Cuo said: "Take me to the scene to see."

An Ning is wishing for it, "This is a strange thing. Brother Cheng was sent to prison for no reason, we definitely can't just let it go."

When Chi Yan told her about the situation on East Cross Street, An Ning was surprised at first, and then puzzled, "Who would do this? What is the purpose?"

Although he was talking to Chi Yan, An Ning looked at Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng, expecting them to give an answer like in the dungeon.But Jin Cheng didn't answer, and Tang Cuo certainly couldn't explain it.

A quarter of an hour later, the four of them, together with the strong man, came to the duplex apartment where Cheng Ke lived.The situation in the apartment is clear at a glance, except for a large pool of blood on the ground, there are very few traces of fighting.

But very little doesn't mean none.

Jin Cheng raised his hand to touch the knife mark on the corner of the table, carefully observed the trend of the knife mark, and scanned along the knife mark for a week, and found some other marks. At this point, he finally had a final judgment in his heart.He found a pen and paper and scribbled down a few lines, then threw something to Chi Yan casually.

It was only after Chi Yan received it that he realized that it was a small red horn. He looked at the paper again, tilting his head in doubt, "Meng——Yu Fei? Who is this?"

"Suspect. You just need to read what is written on the paper, and the whole district will broadcast it. If you can lure him out, this speaker will be given to you."

Chi Yan got through at once, "Broadcasting in the whole area, isn't that the same as the public screen in online games? Can you really hear it?"

Jin Cheng urged, "You can try."

Chi Yan did what he said, and was a little excited when he thought about it.Thinking back then, he was also an all-powerful figure in online games, how could the world channel lack his heroic demeanor?

"Cough." Chi Yan cleared his throat, but when he read the contents of the paper, he almost choked on his saliva.An Ning leaned over to look suspiciously. If he didn't look, he wouldn't know.

Tang Cuo didn't know what they saw, but he didn't expect it to be a good word.Sure enough, Chi Yan's subsequent broadcast confirmed his thoughts.

"The following is a missing person announcement."

"The following is a missing person announcement."

Under the district-wide broadcast, Chi Yan's voice expanded infinitely through the loudspeaker, echoing in every corner of F district.

"Meng Yufei, serial number H13131, your survival assessment report has been lost. Please note that your survival assessment report has been lost. Please come to East Cross Street to collect it from Mr. Jin Cheng as soon as possible. In order to show our sincerity and credibility, accept We will announce the content of a report every 5 minutes, please confirm carefully with Mr. Meng Yufei."

"Rule 5: Meng Yufei, you happy five-year-old still wets the bed, 3 points will be deducted. If you wet the bed and frame a dog, [-] points will be deducted."

Tang Cuo: "..."

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Jin Cheng, his expression was indescribable.Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't slander him. He was not sure about his survival report last time, so I accidentally saw it. It's just that he didn't urinate until he was five years old, but he did."

I don't care if he pees or not.Tang Cuo felt that he was sick so he discussed this topic with him, and at the same time made up his mind not to let Jin Cheng see his survival assessment report.

If he had seen it, the headline on the front page of Eternal Night City that day would be "A Murder Case Caused by an Evaluation Report".

"Mr. Meng Yufei, please come to East Cross Street as soon as you hear the broadcast. We will broadcast the second one on time in 5 minutes. A friendly reminder, your Qzone message board and Tieba account are in our hands, please be careful."

After Chi Yan finished the first episode, he couldn't help covering his face.I don't know why, this is clearly not about his own affairs, but there is still a huge sense of shame when he reads it, which makes him can't help but recall the embarrassing things in the past, as if he has also been tied to the rack of shame.

Of course, Jin Cheng didn't write that detailed, and the sentences weren't that serious.It was Chi Yan who had been in the online game guild and the student union for a long time, and gave speeches every three days, so he naturally polished it up.

He also specially used the broadcast cavity.

People in the entire F area heard the report in a straight voice, and knew the heroic deeds of Meng Yufei who wet the bed at the age of five and planted it on a dog.

A mysterious embarrassment filled the streets and alleys of District F, occasionally mixed with a few words of "fuck" and laughter.Everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing, those who were drinking put down their glasses, those who were fighting withdrew their fists, and some were even sleepy, a carp sat up straight.

"Oh my god, who is this? It's too embarrassing." The person who said that was looking forward to the next content with his ears open.

Mr. Meng Yufei, who suddenly became popular in the F area, what did he leave behind in his QQ zone and Post Bar?

5 minute later.

Chi Yan followed Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo to East Cross Street, adjusting the horn while walking, and An Ning brought him a bottle of mineral water beside him, in case he would get thirsty if he talked too much.

"Hello? Hello? Mr. Meng Yufei, can you hear me?"

"Please answer if you hear me."

"Please answer if you hear me."

"Okay, if you don't answer, we will broadcast the second content right away - friends in F area, Meng Yufei's hair is fake! Please remember, his bedwetting is real, and his happy face is real Yes, his short legs are real, but only his hair is fake!"

"Meng Yufei has one hundred and eight wigs."

"Every wig is different."

"Once Meng Yufei and the dean were walking together, a strong wind suddenly blew, the wind force was 4, and the direction was southeast. Ask: Which wig falls off the fastest, Meng Yufei or the dean? Which one blows the farthest?"

"..."

The small Chiyan trumpet was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah all the way, all the players along the street stared dumbfounded.This operation was so shocking, it was the only one I had ever seen in my life, and it was so shocking that people couldn't help following him to see what else he could say.

After a while, a large group of people followed the four-person team, and the number tended to increase.

Tang Cuo was expressionless.

What crime did he do to be surrounded by people like this.

Jin Cheng was in a good mood, however, he felt that Chi Yan was really a genius, and if he ran out of money in the future, he and Wen Xiaoming could have a cross talk on the street and make a lot of money by keeping it.

He also asked Tang Cuo, "Why don't you smile?"

Tang Cuo: "The face is frozen in the dungeon, it's not good."

You are so funny.

Jin Cheng was about to praise him, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a cold light flashing on the roof of the house on the right from the corner of his eye.Just as fleeting as that light, there was also the killing intent in Jin Cheng's eyes.

"Here we come." After the words fell, Jin Cheng summoned his long bow and shot an arrow into the void, like lightning.

"Clang—" The metal sword tip hit the blade directly.

Tang Cuo raised his eyes, just in time to see a thin figure appearing in mid-air, slashing down a long arrow.Accompanied by the sound of metal falling to the ground, there was also the sound of his gnashing of teeth.

"Jin, Cheng!"

The author has something to say:

Small tip for survival in Eternal Night City: Don't mess with Jin Cheng if you mess with anyone.

(An Ning is too miserable. Just after the dungeon came out, several people in the comment area asked who she was?)
