The Easter Egg Game

[In 2022, 1 person will be reduced, the number of survivors will be 4, and 5 marks will be transferred. 】【In 2022, 1 person will be reduced, the number of surviving people will be 3, and 4 notches will be transferred. ] This sudden reminder fell on Lin Jue and the others like a bolt from the blue. The four people who had already evacuated the building stopped and looked back at the building that was constantly disintegrating. In the dark night, they could only hear The sound of successive collapses, large and small stones peeled off from the wall, fell to the ground, fell into the magma, slowly and unstoppably dismembering the dormitory building.

Gu Fengyi asked in horror and bewilderment: "What's going on? Could it be their internal strife?"

Song Hanzhang glanced at the time - 02:09, then looked at the roof of the building, a deep dark light flashed across his eyes.

Is it already by this time?As the only one in the team who knew what happened but remained silent, Song Hanzhang sighed in his heart.These two reminders are like a signal that has not been agreed but is well known, symbolizing that a cruel future is coming.

But even though it is so cruel, it is also the safest and most likely way to allow more people to live to the end.

Song Hanzhang rubbed the cold and heavy dagger with his fingertips, recalling the conversation he had with Lu Yan not long ago - Lu Yan from 2022. Although Lin Jue didn't recognize him, Song Hanzhang could easily recognize him.

When the three teams met at the Corpse Ball, he felt that the two cloaked people in the 2022 team were weird. Just as he guessed, they wore cloaks to avoid being recognized by their former teammates.One of the two cloaked men is Su Tian, ​​who was originally a player in 2002, so who is the other?

Although the man in the cloak did not use the iconic Tang knife, his fighting style and behavior made Song Hanzhang suddenly suspicious.If that person is really Lu Yan, why did he appear in 2022?Did he spend ten years in this game?

Song Hanzhang immediately ruled out this absurd possibility. In this game, time is actually meaningless-it has proved this point by bringing together teams from three different timelines.They have broken away from the passage of time in the conventional sense. Even if you have experienced ten rounds, one hundred rounds, one thousand rounds of games, you are still in the water basin of your age, and it is impossible to suddenly jump into another water basin .

So could it be that they won the final victory in 2012, returned to reality, he and Lin Jue returned to normal life, and Lu Yan entered the game again ten years later?

No, it is impossible, "Liliths" cannot agree to this kind of behavior of going back and forth, which will become an uncontrollable variable and completely disrupt the game.Besides, with Lu Yan's character, even if he wins, he won't want to return to reality.

Excluding the option of the 2012 team winning and returning to reality, the biggest possibility is that Lu Ren died like Su Tian, ​​and then resurrected in 2022.This is Song Hanzhang's conjecture after the Corpse Ball.However, this leads to a more terrifying question - where is he and Lin Jue?

Lu Ren appeared in the 2022 team, but neither Song Hanzhang nor Lin Jue appeared. Why?

Because they are dead.

This is a painful guess for Song Hanzhang, he is unwilling to admit this future.

Destiny laughed at him wantonly, laughing at his efforts is a complete joke.

Lu Yan is dead, he and Lin Jue are most likely dead too, what does this mean?It shows that the 2012 team is the end of the group destruction!His hard work, his hard work, and his tricks, what is the point of all this?

This hit him no less than he guessed that the world was fake. In the great frustration, Song Hanzhang tried to hide his emotions, but Lin Jue still noticed his strangeness and asked him cautiously.

Song Hanzhang understood for the first time what it meant to be unable to speak.He trusted and entrusted his life wholeheartedly, and was willing to help him bear all hardships and hardships, but he failed this trust, what a sad and shameful failure.

He had to figure out a way, a way out of this tragedy.

Then the key figure appeared, and on the way to the square to join the 2022 team, they met Lu Ren—the land Ren of 2022.

In fact, it was not until that time that Song Hanzhang really confirmed that the cloaked man in 2022 was Lu Ren. He tied the long knife with a cloth strip and carried it behind his back. He looked the same as him ten years ago, and greeted them with a smile.

At this moment, Song Hanzhang suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

It is so.

The script in the box has been opened to him, and the person who wrote the script is himself.

Gu Fengyi and Lin Jue kept guessing about the situation in the 2022 team, but there was no result for a long time. Listening to their "wonderful ideas", Song Hanzhang finally couldn't help but reminded: "There is a 2022 team The unknown factor is that there will be a sudden reduction of 2 staff, and I am afraid it cannot be separated from him."

Gu Fengyi thought for a while: "You mean the guy in the cloak?"

Song Hanzhang nodded.

"From the point of view of force value, it is not impossible. But what is the motive? Why did he want to kill his teammates? If this causes their team to fail in the end, even he will not be able to return to reality." Gu Fengyi proposed A little doubtful.

Song Hanzhang smiled, the standard Song's smile, combined with his eyes and tone, always made people feel mocking: "Who among us has the strength to challenge him?"

Lin Jue looked at the shoes with a guilty conscience, he could bend and stretch, and he would confess when it was time to confess, which is also a good quality - he comforted himself.

Gu Fengyi whispered unwillingly: "If the target is targeted for assassination..."

"Don't worry, there are only three of them now, and there are five of us. Didn't Zuo Linyuan still get shot by you? We still have an advantage. At worst, let Lu Ren fight together." Liu Qingqing comforted Gu Fengyi.

"Not five, but six." Song Hanzhang corrected.

"Shan Liang... that guy didn't know where he went." Lin Jue finally found a chance to interject, and he became angry whenever he thought of Shan Liang. It is also a skill to run away immediately when there is something wrong, and to jump to the present while being chased by everyone.

"He's nearby." Song Hanzhang said firmly.

"Ah?" Lin Jue immediately looked around nervously, "Where is that?"

Seeing his reaction, Song Hanzhang pursed his lips: "With his character, he will not miss any opportunity to watch the excitement. I guess he didn't go far, but found a place where he can see here and observe the surroundings. It's just that it's hard to find him."

Lin Jue's feeling suddenly turned bad. The feeling of being peeped by someone was so disgusting that it gave people goosebumps.

Gu Fengyi caressed the body of the hand crossbow, and the stringed crossbow reflected dangerous light under the dim street lamp: "What shall we do next?"

"Just wait and see." Song Hanzhang looked up at the crumbling building again, saying meaningless admonitions.

The "antenna of Song Hanzhang's emotional sensor" on Lin Jue's head stood up again, and he gave Song Hanzhang a strange look, feeling that something was wrong.It stands to reason that Song Hanzhang doesn't really like to wait and see what happens. Even if there is a need, he has already listed the next plan one, two, three before the "watching" is over, but now he doesn't seem to be active.

"Then let's lie in ambush here. People in 2022 must leave this dormitory building as soon as possible. Let's wait nearby. The building next door is still complete, so we can go there and guard it." Gu Fengyi still didn't want to miss it. With this opportunity to ambush the opponent, victory is close at hand.

"Yes." Song Hanzhang did not object.

The feeling of strangeness in Lin Jue's heart became more and more intense.Sometimes he is like a small animal with keen instincts, and he will always be more sensitive than humans to detect changes in the weather.

There was applause of "Papa Papa", and a laughing voice sounded from above the four people's heads, and they looked up in response, only to see Shan Liang lying on the window sill of the dormitory building they were planning to use as an ambush, grinning Say, "I agree too!"

"Fuck!" Gu Fengyi raised her hand and shot an arrow, but Shan Liang easily dodged it because the distance was too far, she asked murderously, "Chasing or not?"

"Chase." Song Hanzhang said.

Gu Fengyi licked his lips, rewound the crossbow, pulled Liu Qingqing and rushed into the dormitory building, Lin Jue and Song Hanzhang did not delay, and then stepped into the relatively well-preserved dormitory building.

The lights in the corridor were dimmer than the street lights, and the emergency lights radiated a green light, which was eerie.

Gu Fengyi and Liu Qingqing ran fast, as if they wanted to catch up with Shan Liang before he escaped. Gu Fengyi's sense of snake was frighteningly sharp in such a small environment. Combined with her lurking skills, she had to lock Shan Liang's position and find another Ambush and shoot him in the right spot was a piece of cake.

Shan Liang has already considered this point. Although he doesn't know about Gu Fengyi's lurking skills, he is still in awe of the snake sense, but he has already retrieved the breath desalination spray from the square, and now he has nothing to fear.In addition, he originally lived in this dormitory building in the south dormitory area, while Gu Fengyi and the others lived in the north dormitory area. The internal structures of the dormitory buildings on both sides are different. The corridors here do not lead to the end, but L Type, there are two places to go up and down the stairs, and it is not that difficult to avoid each other.

Gu Fengyi's pursuit went smoothly, but Lin Jue encountered a problem here. The seemingly solid concrete stairs were not as strong as imagined. Lin Jue just ran past when he heard a sound of collapse behind him. It collapsed, exposing heavily corroded steel bars.Seeing that the platform under his feet also began to crack, Song Hanzhang said decisively: "I will come up from the stairs on the other side."

"Then I'll wait for you over there!" Lin Jue said immediately.

Song Hanzhang nodded to him, turned around and left him with a lonely back, gradually drifting away in the dirty corridor full of bloody smell, and disappeared at the turning of the corridor.

At this moment, Lin Jue felt lost.

Stop thinking about it, and go to the other side to meet up with the seniors.Lin Jue shook off the unformed thoughts in his head, and quickly ran to the stairs on the other side.

Song Hanzhang, leaning against the wall at the corner of the corridor, counted the time silently in his heart, and then glanced at the watch on his wrist: 02:14.

The increasingly strong smell of blood and rust around him made him very uncomfortable. For a person with a slight cleanliness, this environment was simply mental pollution. He didn't want to stay in this world for a second.

This L-shaped corridor is not long. With Lin Jue's speed, he can run it in half a minute at most. Seeing that he is not at the appointed place, he will definitely call him anxiously, like a poor man who has lost his master. Find people everywhere like pets.Lin Jue would suspect that he had entered an illusion after he couldn't find it everywhere, but he never thought that Song Hanzhang left him on his own initiative, because he was not willing to accept this possibility at all.

So in fact, he didn't have much time to get rid of Lin Jue.

However, a sense of burnout that was about to reach the end made Song Hanzhang hesitant to act. He even secretly hoped that Lin Jue could find him, even though this "accident" would be like walking around on the script with ink on his paws Like my cat, it messes up the whole story.

But this "accident" full of cat's paws is still cute, because in the eyes of the owner, it is so cute that it made the accident.

He has always thought that he is a person who is far more rational than emotional, as his experience over the past 20 years has told him-he lacks empathy than ordinary people, and it is difficult to empathize with others, although not to the point of anti-social personality However, he is very aware of his difference from others, and he is very careful to hide it.It was a last resort when I was young, and this habit has become an instinct when I grow up.

There is a missing piece in his soul, whether it is a regret caused by innate or acquired influence, it is no longer possible to investigate, and he does not want to pursue it, because it is meaningless.He is more concerned about what kind of impact this innate personality will have on his life.

This defect makes it difficult for him to establish sincere friendship with others, and it is very likely that he will not be able to form a family with others throughout his life. He has no intention of forcing himself to find a partner in order to strive for "normality". Hypocritical deceit, there is always one person who will feel pain in this kind of marriage, maybe both.

so what?Is he destined to spend his whole life alone?Even if he has extraordinary achievements in the future, at the end of his life, he is still alone.

Does he feel pain and regret about it?Yes, he suffered, and regretted it.

Because deep down in his heart, he still yearns for something he never got before - a relationship of equality, trust, respect and tolerance.

But now, he has it.

So he is full of ambition and reluctant to give up, but he still pretends to be calm, just because in his eyes, exposing his true thoughts is a dangerous thing, which will bring him a great sense of insecurity, almost like living in a world full of wild animals. Put down the only weapon in your hand in the jungle, and let the beast control his destiny.

He even instinctively wants to doubt and question why, even the other party's occasional fear of him makes him anxious, but this kind of behavior is undoubtedly stupid, he can only observe quietly, even cautiously Probe, until this feeling is repeatedly confirmed in crisis after crisis, until he himself is convinced.

Yes, when the wary old hunter was walking in the dark jungle, he accidentally rescued a cub. This innocent and brave little beast followed him with admiration. Shi Shi tenderly licked the back of his hand with his tongue, resisting fear to protect him when the ferocious beasts attacked, even if he was covered in bruises, he would not retreat.

His bravery is almost innocent, but it is not the courage of ignorance and fearlessness, but the choice he made after knowing the danger of life and death, and the innocence he will have after being tempered by danger and suffering.How can there be bravery without fear?Such Lin Jue, he couldn't help but be moved.

For the first time, he was glad that he would enter this game. If it weren't for such an extreme and terrifying environment, it would be impossible for them to get closer.If they had met in the real world, he would never look at Lin Jue differently, and Lin Jue would definitely not be able to stand his character, so he turned around and ran away. The probability of them becoming friends is infinitely close to zero.

But if he can't go back alive, this luck will be meaningless, and he won't even tell Lin Jue how he really feels.But if they really returned to reality, he would never allow Lin Jue to turn around and leave, he would hold him firmly and let him stay by his side willingly, no matter what the cost.

For this future, he is willing to try even if it is cruel, even if it is painful, even if it means risking his life. As long as the ending is good, he can endure all the hardships and pains.

For him, this is love.
