[Infinite] End Game

Doubt thou the stars sare fire;

Doubt that the sun doth move;

Doubt truth to be aliar;

But never doubt I love.

- Shakespeare

(You may doubt that the stars are torches; you may doubt that the sun moves; you may doubt that truth is a lie; but my love never changes.

- Shakespeare)

Tang Yu woke up in a closed compartment.

It was raining outside the window, and the rain was crackling on the glass, converging into a stream and then sliding down under the force of gravity.

The sky was dark and heavy, like the unfinished sigh of a long-term sick person. The cabin was stuffy, and there was only the sound of quiet breathing.

Tang Yu looked around, Si Yan was leaning on the seat and sleeping soundly, but he had only looked at it for about two seconds, when the boy's eyelashes trembled suddenly, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

To Tang Yu's surprise, the usually out-of-the-ordinary boy didn't make a sound, but looked around calmly, and after seeing the environment clearly, he gestured to Tang Yu and said in a low voice: " what's the situation?"

"I don't know, I just woke up." Tang Yu also lowered his voice very low, accompanied by the sound of rain outside the window, even if other players were still awake, they definitely couldn't hear their conversation clearly.

Tang Yu stepped back and looked out with Si Yan.

Through the thin rain curtain, they saw that they were on a winding mountain road paved with earth and stones.

Outside the window is a rocky cliff on one side, and a bottomless abyss on the other.There is only one path connecting the cliff and the abyss, but in the storm, it is like a piece of steel wire, and it seems that it may capsize at any time.

If there is a falling rock somewhere, it will probably be the end of the group annihilation.

Tang Yu couldn't help thinking.

The winding mountain road was fast and steep, but they were in a speeding bus. The wheels of the bus rolled over the stones and the wet and slippery road surface in rainy days, making a "swish" sound, and the body of the bus was violently bumped from time to time.

The bus is a bit old, the seat cushions are dirty, and the leather surface underneath is cracked, revealing the yellow sponge inside, and there is also a stench that comes from nowhere in the air.

It was dark in the carriage, but it could be seen that more than half of the seats were filled with more than 30 people.The players woke up one after another from the bumps, and they were a little flustered seeing such a strange situation, but there were only a few rustling whispers from a few places in the entire carriage, and everything was done.

It seems that most people are calm.

However, being able to keep calm in such a situation also shows that there should be quite a few veteran players in this instance.

And the more veterans there are, the more dangerous the copy will be.

Because of the cover of the back of the seat, Tang Yu and Si Yan could only see the people around and behind them clearly.And the movement of turning around was too big, none of them chose to look back, but just turned their heads to look at the seat next to the aisle, and then naturally withdrew their gaze.

There sat a young man and woman.

The boy wears glasses and has a gentle appearance, but looks a little haggard. The girl is very beautiful, with light makeup, and slightly curled brown long hair hanging over her shoulders.

There was no conversation between them, but Tang Yu noticed that the girl's gaze was always on the man's face. Even in the dimly lit carriage, he could tell the persistence and concentration in it.But the man just closed his eyes and rested his mind. There was an indelible bluish-black layer under his eye circles, which showed that he must not have slept well.

The car was still driving all the way, and the winding mountain road seemed to be endlessly spinning and climbing, like a giant snake tightly wrapped around the mountain range.

The higher you go, the wind that brings a lot of rain will jingle the iron sheet on the car body.

When turning at the top of the mountain, a stone rolled by the wheels suddenly loosened, and rolled along the cliff into the bottom of the boundless and dark cliff, causing the car body to tilt, but when everyone realized that the car was about to roll over, it was very dangerous. Stabilized and continued to gallop forward.

There were a few short exclamations in the carriage, and someone cursed in a low voice. Tang Yu slowly let go of the armrest, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his palms. On the contrary, Si Yan sat upright, his eyes sparkling a little excited look.

"Don't worry." Si Yan said: "The dungeon hasn't started yet, so it won't overturn."

Tang Yu nodded and leaned back on the back of the seat.Half of his face was reflected in the window, giving people a sense of chaos.

The bus kept driving, and the headlights were like fireflies in a cloth bag, barely illuminating the road ahead in the vast rain curtain.

After driving like this for about three hours, after turning over seven or eight hills, the road finally became smoother, and the trees on both sides gradually increased. Tang Yu felt that they were entering a forest.

At this moment, the bus suddenly stopped abruptly, and Tang Yu was caught off guard and slapped on the back of the chair in front of him.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

Tang Yu was not the only one who hit the back of the chair. When Tang Yu got up, he met several pairs of blank eyes.

The man in the seat opposite them also woke up, and looked forward suspiciously.

However, before they could all sit still, the bus slammed to a sudden stop, shaking the man to the ground, and the beautiful girl beside him immediately cried out in surprise and rushed forward to support him.

"Are you all right? Did you fall?" the girl asked anxiously.

"It's okay." The man pulled his arm out of the woman's hand, stood up by himself while supporting the seat, and said strangely, "Thank you."

It seems that the relationship between these two people is not a couple, nor is it like a relative.

But more importantly, Tang Yu found that neither of them was wearing a bracelet.

...not a player, is that an NPC?

Tang Yu was thinking secretly.

The trees on both sides became more and more dense, and after two sudden brakes, the dilapidated bus began to brake non-stop on the smooth road as if possessed by a demon.The whole car moved forward, and soon someone in the car began to retch, and Tang Yu's face turned pale, and he felt his stomach start to churn.

Finally, a man in black stood up unbearably. He strode over to the driver and scolded angrily: "How the hell do you drive?! You drive so fast on the winding mountain road, and you start to step on the flat road." Did you play with the brakes?"

The driver stared at the road ahead through the windshield and did not respond.

The man in black's face slowly turned into a liver-colored one, and he felt anger rising. Just as he was about to scold again, the driver slammed on the brakes. The man was caught off guard, and his waist directly hit the guardrail.

"Fuck you!! My mother..." The man leaned on the railing and twisted his body. Before he could get up, he reached out to grab the driver. swallowed it back.

In the next second, the man rolled and crawled back, until his back was pressed against the car door, and then he firmly grasped the railing beside the door.The man was trembling all over. He tried to stand up, but the two legs that were shaking like chaff could not support his body, and there were no people sitting in the first few rows, so no one could help him.

After stepping on the brake, the driver did not start the car immediately, but held the steering wheel firmly, turned his head slowly, and looked at the man in black accurately.

Being watched by the driver, the man in black opened his eyes wide in horror, his lips turned blue quickly, and he waved his hands in front of him indiscriminately, as if he was resisting something.

"Didn't you see it?" The driver seemed not to notice the abnormality of the man. His mouth opened and closed, and he stated in a rigid tone: "There are so many people outside. If you don't step on the brakes, what should you do if you hit him?" .”

For a moment, the carriage fell into a deathly silence.

Tang Yu silently clenched the armrest of the car seat, and could almost hear his own sudden and violent heartbeat.

The rain slowed down after entering the woods. From their angle, through the windshield, they could just see the outside.

And the dirt road leading to the depths of the trees, which was muddy because of the rain, was empty.

None of them.
