Welcome to Nightmare Game III

It was late at night, and Xiao Xiao and Mr. Qi were sitting on the platform of the steam train in Lucky Square. Under the watery moonlight, she unconsciously opened her heart.

Xiaoxiao is confused.When living in the real world, her life was assigned a clear path: study hard, work hard, start a family, have children, and finally die of old age, completing her ordinary but absolutely correct life.

She never thought of skipping any step, let alone thinking that one day she would be like a derailed train, crazily rushing out of this crowded track with countless people, and came to a completely different new world.

Most of the time, she can be regarded as a well-behaved girl, tamed and obedient by the rules of the world. If her parents and teachers let her study hard, she will study hard, and if she is not allowed to fall in love early, she will not fall in love early.Although she is more curious and emotional than others, she only secretly studies celebrity gossip on her mobile phone in her spare time, discusses with her classmates who is a couple with whom in the class, and sighs and sighs for the love stories in TV novels. Nothing out of the ordinary was attempted.

But from the moment she got the [Troublesome Mind-Reading Girl] in Xinshou Village, she was destined to no longer need to be a well-behaved and obedient little girl.

In this crazy world, she can do whatever she wants in the shadow of power.This kind of power that will only bring rewards and will not be punished has given her secret happiness, and also watered her endless curiosity to grow wildly.But while doing whatever she wants, the original her in her soul is constantly questioning herself. This voice is getting weaker and weaker. If you don't pay close attention to it, one day it will be lost in the shadow of the ever-expanding power.

Before the voice disappeared, Xiao Xiao struggled to ask: "Mr. Qi, is it a good thing to have power?"

"Of course. Without strength, we can't even protect ourselves, let alone those who are important to us." Mr. Qi replied.

Xiao Xiao looked at him, and said softly: "But I feel that power is more like a forbidden fruit. A very ordinary person like me has always been controlled by powerful people. It is stipulated that once you do something out of line, you will be condemned by the people around you, and you will go to jail if you are serious. Many times, we don’t want to go crazy, but we don’t have the ability and can’t afford the price. We just Can be honest. But, it's different now."

Mr. Qi listened to her quietly, under the moonlight, there was a kind of tenderness almost pity in his listening side face.

"I only have a little power, and I often get carried away. If I become stronger, have more power, and even be like you, I can control the life and death of the entire field. What will I look like on that day? ?Those who oppose me, will I kill them? Anyway, no one will punish me, maybe I will really do this, just like that Xun reporter who slandered you all day long, if I were you, he would now ..." There was a trace of innocent killing intent in Xiaoxiao's well-behaved expression, and she said something that she would not say on weekdays but had already sprouted in her heart, "Maybe he is dead."

She couldn't help but began to imagine the joy of manipulating other people's life and death, imagining those people who hurt her in her past life, when she just moved her finger lightly, and could make those annoying ghosts who made her angry disappear on the spot... …

Mr. Qi sighed softly.

This sigh pulled Xiao Xiao back from her crazy delusions, she suddenly woke up, uneasy and afraid, unknowingly, thoughts that she would not have before had begun to grow.

Mr. Qi still didn't blame her, he stroked the top of her head, as if comforting a kitten or puppy who had done something wrong.

"You know that the original power I have is rebirth, right?" he asked, and after seeing her nod repeatedly, he continued, "Just like you, I got a very special skill card SL in Novice Village Dafa, have you understood it as saving and loading in the game. As long as I save before dying, death will bring my physical state back to the moment when saving, that is to say, I am resurrected from the dead.”

Xiao Xiao suddenly showed envious eyes, this ability is too open.

Mr. Qi: "Of course, this ability has many restrictions. I just briefly describe it so that you can understand what kind of ability it is. My Novice Village is also very difficult. It's extremely rare. I just got this skill card. When I was there, I felt very lucky. Without it, I would have died a long time ago, and it saved me. You see, we have the same mentality again.”

Xiao Xiao smiled shyly and listened more seriously.

Mr. Qi: "I rely on this ability very much. The tombstone on Undead Island is the evidence. I have also summed up the best way to use this skill card. You can understand it as a way of fighting to the death. Although some people advise me to use it less, I also knew they were right, but I didn't really listen to it. If I used it, maybe there would be sequelae later, but if I didn't use it, maybe I would die now."

Xiao Xiao asked curiously: "And then?"

Mr. Qi: "Then I will continue to use it."

Xiao Xiao laughed, she felt Mr. Qi's waywardness.

Mr. Qi said: "At that stage, I couldn't see clearly. Later, when I looked back at that period of experience, I suddenly realized that the power was tempting me, and at that time I was already lost."

The smile on Xiaoxiao's face faded.

Mr. Qi: "There is a little problem with my mentality. I don't regard death as a serious matter, but a means to achieve an end. I always easily exchange death for success. You see, ability is easy It makes people get carried away, and it is easy to make a thing that should be vigilant become habitual. Your mind reading skills and my SL Dafa have changed our thinking, and this change is just the beginning.”

Xiao Xiao was thinking silently, she recalled the changes in her mentality over the past year, she had indeed been changed by this world that overturned the rules.

"Is this kind of change necessarily a bad thing?" Xiao Xiao asked the question in his heart, "If I adapt to such a change in mentality, keep using my abilities, and keep getting stronger, what will happen to me in the end?"

"Have you ever taught the history of the nightmare world in school? During the Second World War six years ago, you still have the impression of power, fraud and killing the three demon kings." Mr. Qi asked.

Xiao Xiao nodded.

Mr. Qi said lightly: "They chose to obey the power of the source, and let the divinity in the source swallow up humanity."

Xiao Xiao asked: "What will happen after human nature is devoured?"

Mr. Qi: "Maybe they will rule the world."

Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

But Mr. Qi laughed: "I'm lying to you, this world doesn't belong to anyone yet. However, I and many others believe that one day we will take over the authority of this world. When that time comes , maybe even the rules of the world can be changed, then there will be no more tragedies and regrets. In order to achieve this goal, we must not surrender the power of the world to depraved careerists, and we must not lose our humanity, otherwise , We who have gained authority will not create a beautiful world."

Xiaoxiao seems to understand but not understand.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Mr. Qi said softly, "Xiao Xiao, you just need to remember. It is you who use your power, not your power. Decide on a principle, when you should use it, and when you shouldn't. You don't have to figure everything out now, you still have a long time to think about it, and it doesn't matter if you can't do it for a while, as long as Every time you use it, you have to ask yourself, did you use it right this time? If not, do it next time. Only by restraining the greed and desire in your heart, can you not get lost in the power Under temptation."

"I understand a little bit." Xiaoxiao said in a daze, "I learned when I was a child that a gentleman should introspect himself, restrain himself, be cautious of independence, and be tolerant of others. Is that what it means?"

Mr. Qi seemed to think about it seriously: "That's right, that's what it means."

Xiaoxiao cheered up: "Then let me think about the principle again..."

With a smile on his lips, Mr. Qi calmly flipped through the old accounts in the small notebook: "First of all, you can't just read what the man sitting opposite on the spaceship looking at the scenery is thinking because of curiosity, and you can't peek around when no one is around. Things that others ask you to pass on, oh, you can’t read the minds of colleagues casually.”

Xiao Xiao, who was publicly executed, covered her face and screamed: "Mr. Qi, stop talking!"

He knows it all!See it all!

Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and jump down.

Mr. Qi smiled in a low voice, looking very happy.

"In the future, I must find clear doubts before reading minds. For example, there is something wrong with this person's expression, or that person's tone of voice. Is this okay?" Xiao Xiao asked with a blushing face.

"I forgot to mention one thing." Mr. Qi suddenly remembered something, and restrained his smile, "There is a principle that overrides all principles."

"What is it?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"Live well," he said.

Xiao Xiao stared at him blankly.

"Xiaoxiao, strength is not about doing whatever you want, but it's not about being slaughtered by others. I let you set up principles, not let you tie your hands and feet. Trust your intuition, and you must read your mind when something is wrong. Your life is prior to all principles , understand?" Mr. Qi asked her.

A layer of warm mist floated in front of Xiaoxiao's eyes, she lowered her head and responded softly.

With a heavy head, Mr. Qi touched the top of her head encouragingly, and his voice was warm in the cold winter night: "This is a very big and long topic, and it is worth spending a lot of time thinking about it slowly. That's all for today, it's getting late, I'll take you home."

Xiao Xiao stood up and followed behind Mr. Qi.She was looking at Mr. Qi's back, he was so steady and reliable, as if anything that bothered her could be easily resolved with him.

How hard does she have to work to become a person like Mr. Qi?Even if she can't be that good, at least she can be braver and more determined than she is now, right?

Xiaoxiao took out the [Troublesome Mind-Reading Girl]. She was really troubled before, but now she doesn't seem to be so troubled anymore.

She felt that she was a little more mature than before, which was good.

One day, she will stop being confused and be able to take responsibility. At that time, she hopes that in the eyes of others, she will be as reliable as Mr. Qi.

"Little?" Mr. Qi stopped and looked back at her who was behind.

"Here we come!" Xiaoxiao replied, and quickly chased after him, showing him a confident and cute smile, trying to make herself look reliable.

Mr. Qi was very appreciative and returned a smile.

As they walked, they chatted.Mr. Qi asked: "I have another curious detail. In what form does your mind reading skill read your heart? Seeing the picture or hearing the sound?"

Xiaoxiao explained: "There are many forms, depending on the person involved. Most of the time it is text, sometimes it is pictures, and some are emotions and feelings. The human brain is very complicated, and some people do not appear in their brains. screen."

Mr. Qi asked with interest: "There are still people who don't appear on the screen?"

Xiaoxiao: "Yes! Because of the relationship between mind reading, I am very concerned about this aspect. I have consulted many people, and many of them have never had images in their brains since they were young. Also, when people recall, subconsciously There are often some details that the parties themselves have forgotten, and the perspective will change from No.1 to third person!"

Mr. Qi showed a thoughtful look: "It is true. It is a very strange feeling. Obviously what I experienced is No. 1, but when I recall it, I seem to see myself through the eyes of a third party."

Speaking of his professional field, the little chatterbox opened again: "There are still people who don't have a voice in their heads! When they read a book, they don't read the words in their minds, and when they think, they only have thoughts. activities, but thinking activities will not be translated into words. For example, they are thinking 'I'm going to have a barbecue for lunch later', neither the picture nor the sound of the barbecue appears in their minds, but they have already thought about it , Make a good decision. This kind of person is the person I hate the most for reading minds. Their thoughts are fuzzy and fleeting, and I can easily read them wrong."

Mr. Qi nodded: "What about emotions?"

Xiao Xiao: "Emotions are the best to read, I won't mistake emotions. But I don't like to read emotions..." As she spoke, she looked at the tips of her shoes, her tone a little low.

She can seldom read happy emotions in others, because human happiness is too short and rare, like dew in the morning sun, fleeting.But those painful emotions, sadness, depression, anger, despair, fear... have stayed in people's hearts for a long time, crawling out of memory over and over again, and entangle people endlessly.

When I was in class at the Newcomer School, the teacher introduced some original powers in the nightmare world.These negative emotional forces are always very powerful, and it is always easy to make people crazy. Perhaps it is because neither humans nor demons can escape these pains.

However, it is precisely because of the short-lived warmth and happiness in life that people with love and faith can resist the erosion of pain, stick to their principles, and walk bravely on the road full of thorns.

This is what Nightingale and Mr. Qi taught her.

When the time bell rang, she raised her head, looked carefully at Mr. Qi's expression, and found that he was looking at Lucky Square.

Amidst the bells ringing again and again, she didn't need to read her mind to know that he was feeling sad at this moment.

But this sadness didn't last long, and when the bell ended, he hid his emotions for that moment.

"Xiao Xiao, in the mind of the person who reported the disappearance, you read about the maintenance man and him exploring the shelter late at night, and you saw the maintenance man's face clearly in it. That is to say, what you read that time was Screen." Mr. Qi asked seriously.

"Yes, I saw the shelter." Xiao Xiao said softly.

"What else?" Mr. Qi asked.

Xiao Xiao racked his brains to recall: "There is also... the moon. There is a moon in the sky, which is about the same crescent as today."

Mr. Qi looked up at the sky: "Where is the location?"

Xiaoxiao suddenly understood why he asked such detailed questions, her eyes lit up: "From the picture, the position of the moon has just risen to the tower."

If she stood at the positions of those two people according to the memory picture, she could judge the exact time of the memory from the position of the moon.

Maybe there is something wrong with the shelter, it's just that none of them got into it at the right time.

Mr. Qi lowered his eyes: "Let's go to the shelter again. However, we need a little proper disguise."

Xiaoxiao is full of confidence: "I know how to put on makeup, and I even bring cosmetics! I can change my face and make sure it's different from what it is now."

Mr. Qi smiled: "Very well, I also have to put on some makeup, it must be the kind that others can't recognize."

Xiao Xiao said "Wow", looking forward to seeing Mr. Qi's makeup skills.In fact, girls have the advantage in this aspect. After all, no matter how boys apply makeup, it is difficult to form a disguise-level effect like girls.

Then she was severely slapped in the face.

Because the gentle and handsome Mr. Qi turned into the fairy and soft Miss Qi in an instant.

Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and because of this change, her chin left its proper position in horror, making a crisp "click".

She screamed in her heart, this is not makeup at all, this is a beautiful girl transformation!

The author has something to say:

PS: Why is the reliable Mr. Qi so proficient in women's clothing?Xiaoxiao: I lost.

PPS: I finally finished writing a very important part of the extra volume.Occasionally, I think about this question. Power and strength make people arrogant. If people who grew up in a civilized society suddenly have powerful abilities, they enter a world where supervision and accountability may be greatly reduced (such as unlimited stream world), can their mentality really be the same as before?

Maybe some people will treat everything as a game and start to run amok, maybe some people can't bear the psychological collapse completely, maybe some people can still stick to the bottom line after struggling in their hearts.But it is absolutely impossible to have no fluctuations in our hearts. After all, we are modern fragile Homo sapiens whose mobile phones will collapse for a long time when they fall into the water.
