The Easter Egg Game

Lin Jue's eyes blurred, and when he came back to his senses, the surroundings had changed.

He was in a dark room with a huge metal archway in front of him.Lin Jue immediately went to look for Song Hanzhang, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him standing not far away.

Except for Song Hanzhang, the other four were also present... Four?

Lin Jue glared viciously at Shan Liang who was in the corner, the corner of Shan Liang's mouth twitched, and suddenly flew towards Liu Qingqing beside him, with the dagger in his hand resting on her neck.He smiled mischievously, whispered something in Liu Qingqing's ear, and then dragged her to the ground, the two of them rolled on the ground several times, and when they parted, Shan Liang's figure disappeared on the ground.

Instead, there were two identical Liu Qingqings.

From appearance to clothing, even the notch on the back of the hand, and the skill totem on the wrist are exactly the same!

The two Liu Qingqing who were at a loss pushed each other away, and looked at the shocked Gu Fengyi in fear.

Lu Yan, who was leaning against the wall to watch the show, let out a "huh" and praised with interest: "Interesting skill."

Lin Jue was already confused. He looked at the one on the left for a while, and then at the one on the right for a while. He couldn't see where the flaw was at all, so he could only look at Song Hanzhang for help.

Song Hanzhang frowned, and asked Gu Fengyi: "Can you tell the difference?"

Snake Sensation couldn't tell the difference between the smells of the two, Gu Fengyi looked solemn: "It's not difficult, just ask about something that only Qingqing and I know."

"Fengyi, don't ask any more." One of them, Liu Qingqing, said in embarrassment.

"I...I can't say it now." Another Liu Qingqing said in awe.

Gu Fengyi was stunned, and asked inexplicably, "Why can't you say it?"

"What Shan Liang said in Liu Qingqing's ear just now is probably some kind of skill or a very intimidating threat. Considering that Shan Liang only has one new reward, which is transformation, Liu Qingqing can only speak It's some kind of threat." Song Hanzhang said lightly, as if he had seen through everything, "I'm a little curious, what kind of information did Shan Liang get about Liu Qingqing, so that he can be so sure that he won't be exposed?"

Both Liu Qingqing's complexions were not very good, but they still gritted their teeth and refused to speak.

"Why don't you kill both of them?" Lu Yan said suddenly and faintly, and the faces of the two Liu Qingqing changed in shock, but he still took it for granted with an innocent face, "You want to kill Shan Liang, There is one of them, if you kill both of them, you will definitely get one of them right, which is much higher than the correct rate of blindly fooling high-number multiple choice questions."

Gu Fengyi said coldly: "Killing people is not such an easy thing to do."

Lu Yan said with an unfriendly expression: "Hey, do you know how hard I worked to pass the high math?"

Even in such a serious and weird environment, Lin Jue almost couldn't hold it back. Lu Ren's "God's Word" can make people laugh to death. Besides being funny, Lin Jue distractedly gave this sentence a thumbs up, because He also almost failed the semester.

The knocking sound of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" came not from behind the magnificent metal gate, but from a small wooden door facing the gate. Pushing open a gap, a girl in a beautiful tutu squeezed in, dragged a suitcase behind her, and waved to them with a smile: "See you again, everyone."

Lilith, the one who distributed Easter eggs to them!

Lin Jue didn't know whether she was a human or an NPC. There were many secrets hidden in her body, but she rarely talked about it.

To be honest, he didn't want to see her, because seeing her was never a good thing.As in the first round of Joker, her presence meant that one of them was going to die.He sincerely hoped it wouldn't be the case this time.

Song Hanzhang obviously thinks so too, but his thinking is more complicated. The string of year numbers he received in his brain before entering this room has already given him some associations and guesses. When he answered the doubters, he immediately asked the question: "Is there any other team besides us?"

Lilith snorted softly, and put the suitcase at her feet: "Yes, there are still two teams."

【数据载入……2002……2012……2022……载入成功。】林觉记得当时自己脑中出现的提示，他们所在的年代是2012，这么说来还有2002年和2022年的队伍？可是他们处在不同的时空啊，怎么可能在同一个地方出现呢？

He did ask this question, but Lilith said with a chuckle: "Let's put it this way, it's like a long river of time. The source, middle and downstream of the river represent different times. If this The river continues to flow, so you who are in different river sections will never meet. But now there is an existence beyond the long river of time, scooped a ladle of water from each of these three places, and put it in the same basin , so you met and the story began.”

"You admitted that we have actually left this long river of time and are in another closed time and space, which is Xinshou Village No. 0708, right?" Song Hanzhang asked sharply.

Lilith smiled slightly, but did not answer.

"Do you not want to answer, or can't answer?" Song Hanzhang asked.

"I don't have the authority, and I don't have the obligation to tell you." Lilith said flatly, "Okay, the puzzle-solving time is over, and the dance is about to begin. It would be impolite not to prepare well."

With that said, Lilith opened the suitcase, and there were all kinds of masks inside, the kind used when attending masquerade balls.

"Come on, everyone chooses a mask, this is the standard equipment for a masquerade ball." Lilith said with a smile.

"Why do we wear masks? What's the point? To prevent other players from seeing our faces?" Song Hanzhang asked again. He was born with many questions, always trying to figure out everything, this instinctive thirst for knowledge Let him not easily accept vague explanations.

Lilith sighed, and said helplessly: "You have too many questions, I don't like curious babies. You can choose to wear them or not, and I have no opinion."

Song Hanzhang looked deeply at the pile of masks. No matter the style or color, they were all ordinary masks. Some could cover the entire face, while others only covered the upper half of the face.

Lu Ren picked up a mask, put it on his face after making a few gestures, and turned back to Gu Fengyi and Liu Qingqing with great interest: "Is he handsome?"

Gu Fengyi and the two Liu Qingqing: "..."

"Then I'll open the door. I hope we're not the slowest team. It doesn't like people procrastinating." Lilith said, walked to the heavy metal door, and pushed the door open.

The door opened slowly, and the melodious music came to everyone's ears through the crack of the door. Lin Jue put on the mask in a hurry, and everyone else had already put it on. Don't want to stand out among a crowd of masked people—impressiveness isn't a good thing in a place like this.

There is a dance scene in front, Lin Jue thought so, followed Lilith's footsteps and walked out of this room.

This is a huge dance venue without a dome, with faint mist and fireflies lingering around every pair of dancing guests, and a band in the corner playing brisk dance music, this should be a happy party venue, however ...

The stench from rotting corpses rushed into Lin Jue's nose crazily, and he looked at the corpses that lightly made way for them with hair on end - yes, this group of dancing guests turned out to be a Another mutilated corpse, the dead ones seemed to be summoned by a mysterious force, and came to the dance scene from the place where the corpses were buried.

Countless thin threads hang down from the dark sky, wrapping around the hands, feet and heads of these corpses, allowing them to sway to the music and perform moving dances. Every movement is as standard as if it has been rehearsed countless times.

This scene is too horrifying, not because of how horrific and bloody the picture is, but because of the treacherous power that hides the horror deeply under the magnificence and feasting, which makes the fear more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

What is the "person" who summoned hundreds of corpses to this place and made them dance like marionettes?

When Lin Jue looked up at the pitch-black sky, he could only see thousands of thin threads hanging from the sky, while manipulating these costumed corpses to dance.Some of them have been mutilated, without head, hands, or feet, but they are still dancing; others have rotted beyond human shape, and even exposed their bones, but they are still wrapped in the flower bed. Take it, and dance as if you were alive.

Whether it is Lin Jue or others, at this moment, they cannot help but imagine a scene.

The "person" holding the puppet string is overlooking this lively dance venue, looking up at "him" as they look like ants.

"He" is the god who controls everything, so powerful and so huge that it cannot be observed; they are crickets locked in a cricket pot, so weak and humble that they cannot be noticed.

It's like a person who dives into the sea suddenly sees a giant whale slowly swimming up from the bottom of the sea.At this moment, in the face of the absolute size comparison, human beings stared at this monster in a daze. It passed in front of him slowly and unstoppably. It can hold a dozen of his living creatures.

Amidst the rancidity and trembling, Lin Jue tightly held the spear in his hand, trying his best to follow Lilith steadily.

He saw several familiar faces among the corpses: Zhao Liangsheng, Gao Yifei, Chen Lu, Xia Huan...all players who died in the first two rounds.

Lin Jue couldn't help guessing, could it be that all the corpses that appeared here were players who died in the game?From 2002 to 2022, spanning a full 20 years, they gathered here to watch the survivors die.

The dancing corpses in front also moved away one after another. Lin Jue looked from a distance, and a door was opened on the left and right sides. A group of people were walking towards the indoor fountain in the center of the venue, just like them.

The person leading the team on the left was a young boy without a mask and looked very strange, but the leader of the team on the right had a face that Lin Jue could never forget.He dreamed of her countless times in his nightmares, sometimes under the steps of the library, sometimes in the dark corridors of the building, and sometimes on the roof under the crimson moonlight.She had a beautiful face, soft and demure in the twilight that surrounded her, just as she had been when she was human.

Lin Jue stared at her for a long time, and she noticed the gaze passing through the corpses. She smiled back at him, and silently pronounced his name with her lips: Lin Jue.

Lin Jue's heart suddenly stopped, and he looked at her in disbelief.

Her name is Zhou Yuxiu. She concealed the fact that she was bitten by a zombie in the first round of biochemical campus, and came to ask Judas for the virus antibody under the instigation of Judas, but because it was too late, the virus could not be reversed and turned into a zombie.Lin Jue sent her off for the last time, using a cruel way to make her close her eyes forever among the zombies.

Why is she here?After being shocked, Lin Jue's brain turned slowly. She was not wearing a mask, and there were six players wearing masks behind her...

Lin Jue looked at Lilith who was walking in the front, and suddenly realized Zhou Yuxiu's identity.

She is no longer a player, but an existence like Lilith—a monster who works for tigers.

"Lily?" One of the left team suddenly rushed out, knocked away the surrounding corpses, and grabbed Lilith's hand, "Lily, is that you? Are you still alive?"

Even though the mask covered his face, his anxious and joyful voice still easily exposed his excitement at this time.

Lilith still smiled sweetly, looking at him with cold eyes as if looking at a stranger: "No, I'm not."

"How is it possible! Lily, I'm Zhang Jia, your boyfriend! You disappeared after the last round. I've been looking for you for a long time. Su Tian said that I saw you leave the school. I don't...I don't Knowing where you have been, why are you here?" Zhang Jia even tore off the mask on his face, revealing a pale and haggard face, staring at Lilith blankly.

Because of Zhou Yuxiu's situation, Lin Jue vaguely guessed something. Obviously Lilith, like Zhou Yuxiu, survived in a different way after Game Over, but this kind of "living" is not really living anymore.Their individual wills may have been wiped out long ago, leaving only a familiar body filled with souls that seem human but not human, executing orders that came from nowhere.

The dancing corpses made way for them politely, and the three processions made their way to the vacant space in the center of the ballroom.Zhang Jia still refused to let go of Lilith's hand, and Lilith looked helplessly at the leader of Zhang Jia's team: "Take your team members away."

The young team leader without a mask said with a smile: "In just a few days, Lily has become ruthless to her boyfriend who is so gluey. She is really a fickle woman."

"A few days? For me, this is a very long time." Lilith broke away from Zhang Jia's hand, "Listen well, your Zou Lili is dead, although I have her memory, But at the same time, I also have the memories of hundreds of dead players, but I chose her appearance, I am not her."

Zhang Jiaru was struck by lightning and tried to grab Lilith's hand several times, but she slapped her away mercilessly.

"Don't be ashamed, don't come back to me!" A man in Zhang Jia's team snorted coldly.

This cold snort made Zhang Jia tremble, and he took a deep breath, as if trying to endure something.He glanced at Lilith one last time, and silently returned to the team.

At the same time, the team on the right was watching Lin Jue and the others with great interest. Lin Jue instinctively hated the probing eyes and stared back viciously, only to find that it was not him but Song Hanzhang.

Song Hanzhang looked back calmly, and his eyes met a tall and straight man with a compound bow on his back, and the mask only blocked half of his face.He didn't speak, but the man who was a little shorter beside him spoke, and the magnetic voice sounded amidst the beautiful music: "You are Song Hanzhang? Although I haven't met, I have been famous for a long time. I have the honor to read the papers published by your Excellency. I am very happy." Insightful, no wonder you have been missing for ten years, and the instructor still mentions you from time to time."

His smile was deeper, sincere to the point of hypocrisy: "My surname is also Zhang, and I will be your junior ten years later, from 2022."
