Midnight Ship Says [Unlimited]

Shang Huannian struggled to get up.

The pitch-black knife disappeared, and everything just seemed to be just his illusion.

And his biggest dilemma now is facing the four people in the room.

The four of them held [-]% hostility towards this uninvited guest who fell from the sky, and they surrounded him one by one.

Someone chattered out a sentence in Japanese.Ishii turned around, looked at Shang Huannian, and said to him in English, "Are you listening?"

Shang Huannian did not speak, but tried his best to adjust his breathing.With a glance, he realized that there was a small scroll on their table.The scrolls are written in Chinese—Japanese ancient books are mostly written in Chinese.The exposed part above reads that incense can be cited.

Cited?

Ishii could see all his small movements: "Boy, if you want to look around, you might as well care about your own life."

Business year is not feeling good.

The Japanese on the left moved and rushed to him.Shang Huannian had a premonition, turned around, and avoided his punch.

The other three people also surrounded them. At this time, the man who attacked first stopped them, and the three people did not move.

Shang Huannian put his hands on the table, trying to jump over the low table in the middle of the room, but the man grabbed his shoulders.

Ignoring the severe pain in his shoulder, Shang Huannian suddenly turned around, grabbed the man's wrist, twisted his body, and forcibly turned the man's hand around.

The man cursed, and he jumped up again to hold down Shang Huannian.

However, Shang Huannian was prepared and dropped his center of gravity suddenly. While the man was rushing forward due to inertia, he grabbed his wrist with one hand and pressed his elbow joint with the other hand, and twisted him fiercely.

"Ah—" the man screamed.However, the three people next to them didn't show any fluctuations, and didn't even want to come forward to help.

fraudulent.Shang Huanian thought to himself.

The next moment, the man got up, held the broken right arm with his left hand, took a sip, and said in broken English: "Have you learned Kung Fu?"

Shang Huannian got up in a hurry and looked at him warily.

The man's left hand kneaded his right arm a few times like kneading dough.The arm that was hanging down just now, and seemed to be about to fall to the ground in the next second, immediately returned to its original state!

He is a banker!

The three Japanese next to him were his employers, and they were looking at Shang Huannian playfully against the paper wall with their arms folded.

The shore guest has infinite recovery ability in the midnight world, and this man seems to have practiced it himself.

Shang Huannian was ready to die, but they didn't give him this chance.

No matter which direction he went, the banker always came to meet him head-on, taking all his attacks.The other three also joined the chase and surrounded him.

Shang Huannian's kung fu is just something he learned when he was young, and he never picked it up after he went to college. Not to mention that the Japanese shore guest has almost instant recovery ability, just the first four people can bring him down .

He was pinned down on the tatami by those four people.

One of them made a gesture of wiping his neck, but the banker shook his head, just tied up Shang Huannian, gagged his mouth, and stuffed it into a cabinet inside a paper wall.

Probably after he was stuffed into the cabinet, the four Japanese returned to the process of incense, and the outside was quiet again.

The inside of the cabinet was very dark, but the door of the cabinet, like the paper wall, was not soundproof, and the sound from outside could clearly reach his ears.

Shang Huannian didn't know why these people didn't kill him, but hid him in the cabinet instead.

However, no matter how many questions he had, he could only keep them in his stomach, because the outside situation had changed, which attracted all his attention.

The footsteps outside became louder.Someone else is approaching the room.

The houses here are very old.The frame of the cabinet door is made of wood, and the front is made of paper. The connection between the paper and the wooden frame is slightly cracked due to the years.

Shang Huannian struggled to half-sit up, and turned his hands tied behind his back to his body - after all, those Japanese still underestimated his flexibility, which is the basic skill of kung fu.The knot tied by the banker was very special, and he couldn't break free for a while, so he could only use his bound hands to push aside the corner of the paper that had been turned up, and then observe the situation outside from the hole.

The four Japanese were standing at the door, looking out.

What are they waiting for?

About 2 minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

To Shang Huannian's surprise, when they opened the door, there was Chu Tu standing outside.

"Why are you?" Chu Tu's first words when he saw the four people in the room turned out to be like this.

Ishii laughed frivolously: "Chu, this is my room, no matter what, it's your turn to ask this question."

At this time, the banker suddenly poked Ishii with his elbow, and glanced at Chutu's hand.

Ishii understood, and also looked at Chu Tu's hand, and immediately couldn't suppress his exaggerated expression: "Chu, are you injured?"

Chu Tu raised his right hand, there was a small cut on his thumb, and he said indifferently: "It was accidentally cut. I'm sorry to bother you, have you seen Shang Huannian? Just walking with me boy."

"No, I'm sorry." Ishii's tone softened, sounding a little friendly, "Then don't bother Chu looking for someone."

With that, they closed the door.

The four gathered together at once and began to whisper.Shang Huannian couldn't understand their Japanese, but judging from their reactions, what they said should be related to Chutu.

Shang Huannian was a little puzzled as to why Ishii paid so much attention to the injury on Chutu's hand.

He is very familiar with Chu Tu, the scar on Chu Tu's thumb should be bitten out by himself.When he was extremely nervous and excited, he would bite his thumb hard, and he didn't care if the bite was bloody.

The Japanese probably mistook this scar for other reasons, and this reason is what they care about.

He felt a little regretful all of a sudden, Chu Tu couldn't find him, and it would be bad if he got into more trouble because of this.

However, there is nothing he can do now.The knot tied by the banker is very special. The more he struggles, the tighter he is, and when his hands and feet are tied, he can only stay there.

For the next day and a half, he stayed in that cabinet.

Nothing strange happened in the room anymore.Those four Japanese didn't pay attention to him either, they seemed to be busy with something.

This small world has a timing system that represents the circulation of the sun and the moon. In addition to the timing of the game progress, there are also days and nights.

When the day came, the birds outside the house sang sweetly.

Shang Huannian lay down in the cabinet with his mind blank, his eyes glazed over.The sound of birds chirping came into the room and into the cabinet. It seemed peaceful, but he knew that a lot of blood must have been shed under this peaceful sky.

At the same time, he felt something wrong with his body.There was a spot on his shoulder that looked like it had an ice pack on it, and it was very cold.This area is narrow and small.

At first, he thought it was caused by the lack of blood circulation after his hands were tied, but the feeling became stronger and stronger, almost occupying his nerves.

The turning point occurred on the second dawn.

All four Japanese were out.

A figure slipped into their room.

Shang Huannian's slack pupils suddenly shrank, he propped himself up on his elbows, and slammed against the paper door frantically.

It was the Chinese girl who slipped into the room.She was startled when she heard the sound, and then realized that the sound came from the cabinet door.

She was also a bold one, she opened the door and found that it was Shang Huannian who let him out later, removed the ball of paper that blocked his mouth, and helped him break the hemp rope with the knife she carried with her.

She was grinding the hemp rope, and Shang Huannian hurriedly asked her, "How's it going outside?"

The girl made a hissing gesture to him and said softly, "Two Americans are dead."

Chu Tu was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the girl immediately said, "The Chinese who was with you is gone."

Shang Huannian suddenly became nervous: "What happened to him?"

"I don't know. The situation outside is too chaotic, and the information is not equal. We can't understand the NPC's speech at all." She said, "To be honest, I still don't understand what this small world is doing. This Everything is led by those four Japanese. They seem to have a way to control Ghost Knife. I and two Americans are hiding from them. I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be locked here by them. "

Shang Huannian's mind was suddenly in a mess: "Then what did they do?"

"After dark, there will be many floating samurai knives in the corridor, but it will be fine if you just hide in the room." The girl said, "Those four people seem to have found a way not to be attacked, and they took the initiative to break into other people's rooms , forcing others into the corridor to be attacked with knives."

"Chu Tu, the one with me, do you have any news about him?"

The girl frowned: "He seems to be looking for you, but he hasn't seen you since. I don't know."

Suddenly, she stared at Shang Huannian's shoulder and stopped talking.

Shang Huannian was puzzled by her look, and looked back at his shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Only then did he realize that the clothes on his left shoulder had been stained black and red by blood, and he had no pain before.The cold feeling before came from a slowly festering wound on his shoulder.

Shang Huannian and Chu Tu were sitting face to face across most of the room.When Shang Huannian talked about this, Chu Tu suddenly said: "So, this injury is very special, and those Japanese made a mistake? They took the injury on my hand as the one they were looking for?"

"You really don't remember anything." Shang Huannian smiled wryly.

Chu Tu scratched his head: "I don't remember."

Shang Huannian said: "Actually, in the end, I didn't know exactly what I should do. After I came back, I went to that shore guest. I figured out some things." Behind the word "come back" is the little An unforgettable experience on the island.

"what?"

"First of all, it means that incense can be cited. The old man in the ancestral hall actually gave a hint. They found the scroll according to the hint. From it, they saw that incense can be cited. There is no incense in the whole house. The only incense is We woke up to that white candle in that room. That candle was a key prop, and their clothes were fully stained so they couldn't be attacked."

Chutu asked: "What does that have to do with the wound? Why do they drive others out of the room?"

"That white candle burns quickly, and it actually burns out before you knock on the door. There is another thing recorded on the scroll." Shang Huannian said, "That's the meaning of 'leading'. When the candle burns At that time, there will be a curse at the source of the fragrance. People who have been stabbed by the ghost knife will automatically move closer to the source of the fragrance."

Chu Tu opened his eyes wide: "You mean..."

Shang Huannian smiled bitterly: "Yes, the corridor is very dark. The scar on your hand is considered to be the scar planted by the ghost knife, and you came at the right time, just when the candle was burned out."

"But, in fact, you were the one who was planted by the ghost knife..." Chu Tu opened his mouth wide, "But this is a paradox! You were planted by the ghost knife that attracted you because of monitoring, but if you You didn’t get scars in the first place, so why did you follow them, and how did you get the seeds? It’s just a coincidence. Moreover, when you started following them, they didn’t even start lighting incense!”

This interlocking coincidence is exactly a Möbius ring.

This is because of his fruit, and his fruit is this cause.

"If I hadn't thought of monitoring that day, someone would definitely have the desire to follow others inexplicably, and the person being followed by him is destined to burn incense." Shang Huannian smiled bitterly, "This is the curse of karma. Small World The unlucky ghost must be selected."

Chu Tu frowned: "Then what's going on in this small world? How did you pass the level?"

Shang Huannian said: "I didn't know much at the time, I only knew part of it. I only found out about the whole game two years later when I went to the banker. The seed scars of the ghost knife will continue to fester, and then the person will die. This This kind of festering is irreversible. However, when someone kills others with a ghost knife, the assailant can make a wish for each person killed, and this wish power is the only ability that can heal the wounds of the ghost knife seed."

"There are two ways to clear the small world. One is that the unlucky ghost dies, and the other is that the unlucky ghost kills everyone else and heals his own wounds."

"It's not fair, it's a pair of nines," Chutu said.

Shang Huannian said: "So, in fact, the chosen person has privileges. He is the tester of the ghost knife. He can summon the ghost knife. In other words, he is the only person who can use the ghost knife to kill others and use his wish power. .”

"Then why are you trapped?"

"Because I didn't know that I could summon ghost swords at the beginning." Shang Huannian shrugged, "In that small world, only these four Japanese knew the rules, and everyone else was at a loss. They At that time, I felt that as long as the information imbalance is controlled, and then the four of them are not injured by the ghost knife, then as long as they kill the ignorant and unlucky ghosts, they can pass the level."

"So, in fact, they were going to kill me at that time. But I hid when I saw something was wrong. They didn't join forces with the Americans in order to control the unequal information. Instead, they relied on their own incense privileges to break into others at night. s room."

"Yes, in fact, they themselves are not sure that you are unlucky. Although they feel that you are not far from each other in their hearts, they also keep an eye on other people." Shang Huannian said, "The shore visitor said later that they first It’s running towards you, but in order to prevent you from being hanged on a tree like you, just force everyone else to die. There will always be one person who is chosen as the unlucky ghost. If you kill everyone, the game is not over and it will be If you can't find you, just grind slowly, anyway, there are four of them."

Chutu said, "Didn't they suspect you?"

"Because they don't know that the scars of the ghost knife are festering from the inside out." Shang Huannian smiled wryly, "They checked me when they tied me up, and there was no knife wound. The scar slowly surfaced to the skin On. But I think if they kill the three Americans and the girl, the game is not over, they will kill me before they find you. Fortunately, the girl thought of going to their house to find clues, Just let me go."

"The banker said that he didn't kill me just because it was a normal day and it was difficult to dispose of the dead body. Next door to them were four thick and thick Americans, and the room was not soundproof. It was too obvious to drag a dead body out. And they were worried at the time. Smell of rotting corpses, which would overpower the incense."

Chutu tilted his head and thought for a while: "This kind of method is like the people of Elbin."

"In fact, it is."

Chu Tu snorted coldly, and then asked: "Then what happened after that?"

Shang Huannian took a glass of water from the side, moistened his throat, and continued talking.

At this moment, Chu Tu suddenly thought of something.

Judging from Shang Huannian's words, he didn't die at the hands of those four Japanese, so how did he die?

Chu Tu raised his head slightly, met Shang Shang Huannian's eyes, and found that he was also looking at him.

His eyes, as usual, were calm like an ancient well.

But Chu Tu's heart was tugged.With that kind of game rules, he and Shang Huannian are destined to be unable to live together.

He had a vague guess in his heart.

Shang Huannian smiled, and continued speaking calmly.

In fact, although Shang Huannian didn't know that he could summon ghost swords at first, he still discovered this.

That was the night after he was released.

The girl and he joined the rest of the Americans, and the four of them stayed together for the night, going nowhere.

They completely tore apart their faces with the four Japanese.And as long as they are in the room and not affected by the knife in the corridor, they have no disadvantage against the Japanese.

After all, among the four people, except for the shore guest, the remaining three are just young masters, so they can only rely on their number advantage.

To their surprise, the Japanese came over to cooperate with them that night.

They had just killed two of them, so it was naturally impossible for the remaining three to cooperate with them calmly.

However, they said such things directly as soon as they entered the door.

"A person with scars on his body for no reason can summon a ghost knife. And he can only pass the level if he kills us."

"We can make you body search and prove we are not. We are just trying to force that man out. He is our common enemy."

The Americans were furious for a while, and directly cursed: "You executioners, do you think we will cooperate with you?"

"Sir, everyone is an adult, you have to know that there is no absolute enemy in this world, nor is there any permanent friend." Ishii said with a smile, without the slightest awareness of being a murderer, "Coincidentally, I am like this Time-conscious people. That way you don't have to worry about it at night, do you?"

The Americans were silent.

Shang Huannian's back stiffened.Just now, he found a clean bathrobe from the room, and tore up another piece of clothing, wrapping it as a bandage in the large bathrobe.Others may not be able to see his abnormality, and regard his changing clothes as part of his rest after being locked up for so long.

But the girl knew.

He didn't turn his head to look at her, but he felt the girl's gaze.

Ishii continued: "I think everyone should be more open and honest, search each other, and the person who can find the wound is our enemy. If everyone can't find the wound, then naturally we can go to the one who is hiding. After all, He is our common enemy."

Cannot be frisked.

Cold sweat broke out on Shang Huannian's back.

However, at this moment, the girl stood up suddenly, grabbed his wrist, and lifted him off the tatami at once.

"I don't agree. He doesn't agree either," she said in broken English.

"How do you make decisions for others?" Ishii looked at her with a smile, "You will look like a ghost."

She couldn't understand Ishii's English, so she just puffed out her chest and pretended to be very imposing.

Shang Huannian said in a deep voice, "I really don't agree."

The scene suddenly froze.

"I don't believe every word you say." The girl said every word, "Your words have zero credibility with me."

Shang Huannian was taken aback for a moment, and translated the girl's words into English.

"That's really a pity." Ishii turned to look at the American, "That's right, this friend is very cooperative, right?"

The Americans were taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

A person rushed into the room from the corridor, and locked a Japanese man's neck with lightning speed!

"who is it?"

Everyone was attracted by such an accident.

The visitor didn't stop for their attention, and directly kicked a person next to him.

Suddenly, the peace in the room disappeared.The Japanese fought with the uninvited guests.

"Stop! Who said they would come to cooperate peacefully!"

Shang Huannian shouted loudly.

The chaotic battle situation stopped.

Ishii crawled to the side in embarrassment, wiped the corners of his mouth: "Oh, it's not us who pick things up."

It was Chu Tu who broke in. Panting heavily, he stood by Shang Huannian's side.

"I think we don't need to talk about our cooperation." Shang Huanian said coldly.

Ishii seemed to have heard the big joke, and shrugged his shoulders: "You guys, this is a matter of life, why are you so irrational? Check if this brother has any scars on his body."

Shang Huannian said: "But the scars and customs clearance methods are all your family's words? Your credit is very bad, sir."

"No need." Chu Tu stood in front of Shang Huannian, "In this way, everyone will take off their shirts, and all the scars and scars will be clear." As he said, he took off his shirt, and then said to The Japanese made a gesture of invitation.

Ishii sneered, turned around and gestured to the other three, who also took off their shirts like Chu Tu.

However, when they took off their clothes, their expressions were all wrong.

There was a cut on Chutu's shoulder.And there was a bloodstain on the back of a Japanese.

The Japanese immediately murmured something to his companions, which seemed to mean "this is being slapped by Chu Tu in a fight".

Chu Tu raised his chin towards them: "You said that the scars of the ghost knife appeared out of thin air. Then how do you know which scars were produced during the fight and which were the scars of the ghost knife?"

The expressions of the four people over there were suddenly ugly.

Suddenly, a female voice sounded: "That... I think what he said is very reasonable. I was also scratched last night. It is normal to be scratched in the midnight world."

The girl rolled up her sleeves, and there was also a bloodstain on her arm.

Before Shang Huannian could translate, Chu Tu translated the girl's words to them.

Afterwards, he added another sentence: "Do you really think it is impossible between the four of you?"

Everyone gathered in the room.The air freezes.

The girl whispered in Shang Huannian's ear like a mosquito, "Brother, you're welcome, we're all from our own family. Without you, I wouldn't be able to understand the birdsong."

Shang Huannian's heart was suddenly mixed with bitterness and warmth.

He raised his eyes and looked at the back in front of him, felt the anxiety in the air, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and couldn't tell whether the feeling in his heart was hope, despair, or guilt and determination.
