Striped Retriever

The relationship between players has the potential to devolve into competition.

"Maybe we can get rid of them before they change their minds." Jin Xin doesn't think this is a problem. Those players are not considered life in his opinion. Everyone is already dead. There is no Tinder program to intervene. All have to be buried in the ground, and obviously in Jin Xin's cognition, the work that he needs to complete has a higher priority.

"Try not to." Ke Chenlin shook his head.

"Players at this stage are the most troublesome." Jin Xin's voice was not soft at all, and the players around them must have heard it, "There are too many self-righteous idiots who have just been promoted from elementary to intermediate. Many of them are used to harming people, if you don’t kill them, they will attack you.”

Players around looked over, and Jin Xin snorted disdainfully: "They will only bite back at me when they attack me." Jin Xin and Qiu Yu are completely two extremes.

Qiu Yu and the others must have entered a lot of dungeons, but they didn't dare to be too big in the last dungeon, and they wouldn't be like Jin Xin who almost wrote the five words "I am Long Aotian" on their faces .

"No." Ke Chenlin still refused to directly kill the other players when they hadn't done anything.

Jin Xin snorted, and leaned on Ke Chenlin's shoulder: "Are you such a virgin? Obviously..." Not a person, Jin Xin didn't say the last three words, he looked at Ke Chenlin frowning displeased He couldn't help laughing out loud.

The reason for Ke Chenlin's refusal to kill directly is simple, he still wants the identity of "Ke Chenlin", especially in front of the referee.It is meaningless to directly abandon human nature and draw swords to each other, and that will give the referee a reason to be firmly against himself.

He didn't want to be like this, he had to firmly hold the initiative in his own hands, watching the referee's tangled and contradictory appearance filled with guilt made Ke Chenlin feel physically and mentally happy.

But other players obviously don't think so.

At least from the conversation just now, Ke Chenlin seems to be a principled and honest person.

So when we got to the place where we went into the water, some players we didn't know very well came over to say hello.

"What's your name, brother?" The person who came was a fat man. Ke Chenlin couldn't tell how old the other was, because the other had a round face, and there were marks from the eyes on the root of the nose, and the temples were slightly white. He couldn't be called handsome, but he looked really young.

Ke Chenlin couldn't figure out whether this person had gray hair or simply looked small.

"Ke Chenlin." Ke Chenlin turned his head and looked in Jin Xin's direction, only to find that Jin Xin had already taken off his clothes and shirtless and entered the water.

That thin physique... Ke Chenlin was really worried that he would come up after a while.

"Is that friend of yours particularly awesome?" The man continued to ask, "What he just said..."

"What's your name?" Ke Chenlin interrupted him.

"She Lizhi, that She of Mrs. She." She Lizhi laughed twice, although Ke Chenlin's facial expression now shows that he may not have much intention to talk, but She Lizhi is still trying to find a topic, "Brothers, we are all players , in fact, it’s a faction. To put it bluntly, everyone wants to live, and I don’t mean anything else..."

His tone was gentle, but it carried an inexplicable sense of comfort. From this point alone, Ke Chenlin was basically sure that this person was not too young.

This kind of speaking skills with a layer of familiarity and warmth floating on the falsehood can be regarded as unique to adults.

"Sorry, I won't cooperate." Ke Chenlin didn't wait for She Lizhi to finish speaking, and took off his shirt and jumped into the icy water.

The water is actually warmer than the outside, and Ke Chenlin opened his eyes after jumping into the water.The bottom of the water is still densely packed with dead bodies, and the lower body of the dead bodies is buried in the mud, so it may take some effort to get rid of them.

Ke Chenlin swam towards the corpse closest to him. Ke Chenlin adapted well to that hideous face.

The only thing he is curious about now is why these corpses died here in such a posture.

When Ke Chenlin held the wrist bone of the corpse, he saw some black shadow swimming towards him.Ke Chenlin was slightly startled, then took a closer look and found that it was a big carp.

Like the two when I entered the game yesterday, the only difference is that this fish has a pair of human eyes. When swimming past Ke Chenlin, those black pupils turned, and the eyes were always the same from the beginning to the end. It fell on Ke Chenlin's face.

gross.

Ke Chenlin especially wanted to click his tongue, but he didn't want the corpse here to flow into his mouth.

That dragged the corpse out twice, but failed to drag it, so he could only swim to the waist of the corpse to dig the mud, to see if he could dig the corpse out.

— "They're all still hungry."

what?

Ke Chenlin suddenly raised his head.

He was pretty sure he heard a woman's voice just now, it was so clear it didn't make sense, and now it was underwater.

— "Get out! I'm going to get out!"

Ke Chenlin looked at the corpse he was digging. The corpse was too rotten, and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. The main reason was that the clothes of the people here were similar, and there were no small floral patterns or cartoon patterns. .

He hadn't learned about the human body either, so he didn't know which body types were male and which were female.

Ke Chen had to go up for a breath after digging for a while before continuing.

And after taking two breaths, Ke Chenlin felt an urge not to swim anymore, he was afraid.Fear reaches out and touches only the water, and its feet are buried in the mud.

His body was getting colder and colder, but he couldn't do anything, until a certain moment he couldn't even feel the cold, and that was when he should die.

Never see the light of day again.

Ke Chenlin knew that he was affected by the corpse under the water, he reached out and wiped his face, then took a deep breath and dived again.

The closer to the corpse, the deeper the fear.But Ke Chenlin didn't stop.

Because he clearly knows that fear of death is an illusion for him.

Fear of death is an emotion that only those who have nostalgia for this world will have, and it has nothing to do with Ke Chenlin.

Ke Chen used all his strength to drag the corpse ashore, then sat alone on the bank to wipe off his body, put on his clothes and panted heavily.

This kind of mental influence is too weird, and now Ke Chenlin is cold and hungry, and his mind is empty when resting on the shore.

"Are you okay?" Jin Xin seemed to be adapting well, he had more dungeons and recovered faster, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this dungeon."

"If there is something right about the game copy, there will be problems." Ke Chenlin retorted.

"Indeed." Jin Xin nodded, "But don't you think we're colder and hungrier after moving out a corpse?"

"Just entered the water, now it will be even colder when the wind blows on the shore. Swimming is not an easy exercise, and we have to maintain a high level of concentration. It is certain that we will be more hungry if we consume a lot." Ke Chenlin stretched out his hand Pressing his temples, he always felt that his brain hurt from being blown by the wind.

"But I just used a skill card." Jin Xin shrugged, "I shouldn't have such a reaction."

Ke Chenlin was silent, he looked at Jin Xin, and he didn't know if it was because of the dungeon effect, he wanted to eat Jin Xin so much now, the kind that the bones were chewed to pieces.

"It's not that I don't want to share with you. Doesn't it mean that you are chatting with other people?" Jin Xin let out a sigh, and then continued to talk about his discovery: "It is very likely that we were affected by those corpses. Hunger, cold , what if this feeling gets deeper every time a corpse is dragged out?"

"The influence is second to none." Ke Chenlin sighed.

The biggest problem is still the players. There are still four players who have not been able to drag out a corpse. They dare not go into the water at all, obviously because they are affected by fear.

Twenty corpses have to be brought out today.Ignoring the ghosts hiding inside, there are ten players in total, and no one needs to pull two up. If they are too scared to move, the pressure will be shared with other players.

One more corpse is one more influence.

Jin Xin walked up, and when a certain player climbed out with strength, he stepped on it underwater.

"What are you doing!" A player on the bank exclaimed.

"What are you doing? Let him finish his work well, can't you see?" Jin Xin clicked his tongue, "Why don't you help him move the extra corpses?"

He squinted at the player: "If you can't even complete your own tasks, you might as well die here, at least it won't make my mentality unbalanced."

"Did you hear that?" He turned back to the players who were still in the river, "If you can't move a single corpse out and want to go ashore, I'll kill the last one."

Well, Ke Chenlin thinks that Jin Xin's strength should be quite good, after all, he is so capable of attracting hatred, yet he is still alive.

Ke Chenlin rested for a while, then took off his clothes again and jumped into the water.

With experience this time, Ke Chenlin quickly dug out the second corpse.

It's just that when he was swimming back, Ke Chenlin himself almost lost consciousness, choked on several mouthfuls of water, felt a little more cold and hungry, and he began to fear water.

The voice of the male corpse "Climb out" is all around my ears.

After going ashore this time, Ke Chenlin immediately began to check the parts on these corpses after putting on his clothes.

There are quite few things on these corpses, and some corpses have so many patches that they can be remade into a new set of clothes.

There were bags tied to several corpses, which reminded Ke Chenlin of the cloth bag around his waist when he first came to the game, which contained two sizeable fish.

Are they in it for the sake of catching fish?

But Ke Chenlin always felt that something was wrong, diving in to catch fish?Catch such a big fish?Regardless of whether a person has the strength to fish out such a big fish in the water, how can diving get stuck in the mud?

It's more like they stepped in like that.

"Cough, cough, cough." Ke Chenlin pressed his fist to his lips, his throat was itchy now.

In this case, he is not sure whether he will survive to the New Year's day.

Ke Chenlin coughed for a while, knowing that someone was patting him on the back, Ke Chenlin glanced at it, and it was indeed the referee.

"Are you uncomfortable?" the referee asked.

"It's okay." Ke Chenlin coughed a few times after finishing speaking.

"Your voice is hoarse." The referee frowned and said, "This dungeon is too tortured."

Ke Chenlin asked back: "It will be much better if you die?"

"Should be." The referee did not refute.

Ke Chenlin thought it was funny, he was still having difficulty breathing, and wanted to take this opportunity to lie down on the referee, preferably with his eyes closed and squint for a while, but was abruptly interrupted.

"Brother!" The man named She Lizhi came over in a short time, "How do you feel now, I feel very uncomfortable."

Ke Chenlin and the referee silently looked at the man who barged into the topic.

"Who is this?" She Lizhi pointed to the referee.

"Stability." The referee nodded at She Lizhi, "I don't think he's in a good condition. Come and take a look."

"You're not feeling well, brother?" She Lizhi asked Ke Chenlin.

Ke Chenlin frowned, and the referee guessed that Ke Chenlin would want to retort, "Who is your brother?", but Ke Chenlin didn't say anything.

"That friend of yours is quite scary." She Lizhi turned the topic to Jin Xin again.

"It's okay." Ke Chenlin knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only chat with this guy, "He's quite gentle, but you haven't been with him for a long time, so you can't tell."

When he said this, She Lizhi was silent for a few seconds.

After all, it is really inappropriate to apply the word gentle to the person who threatened everyone to die without moving the corpse.

"It's just that he's young and has a quick temper." Ke Chenlin, like all the parents of bear children, attributed all the reasons to the fact that the child is still young, "Although he was a little impulsive, what he did was not wrong."

Jin Xin was the one who stood out, but when he realized that some players might not be able to complete the task, the expressions of the other players, as if they had eaten shit, proved that they were not in a very beautiful mood.

At this time, it would be too late to say that there is something wrong with Jin Xin.

"What's the relationship between Jin Xin and you?" She Lizhi asked Ke Chenlin.

"I'm his uncle." Ke Chenlin recalled Jin Xin's mouthful of uncles before, and simply said, "This kid has been like this since he was a child."

"No way, I don't think you are very old." She Lizhi opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Ke Chenlin was very eye-catching, with the air of a gloomy handsome guy. She Lizhi guessed that Ke Chenlin was probably in his early twenties.

"36, it's time for four." Ke Chenlin said.

"Huh, then you look really young." She Lizhi scratched her head in embarrassment, "I thought you and him were a young couple before."

"What did you say?" It was the referee who spoke this time.

"Your nephew has pink hair and lipstick, he looks alike, that...do you understand?" She Lizhi laughed again.

He just wanted to ease the atmosphere with a smile, but the referee looked at the cheerful bared teeth of the person in front of him, and his mood became unbeautiful in an instant.

"He's a straight man." Ke Chenlin said, "It's just that he's as thin as a monkey and has no blood, so he put on some lipstick."

Ke Chenlin chatted with this She Lizhi. The two of them were not too different in age, and they had some common topics. Only the referee sat beside him silently.

"Are you talking about me?" Jin Xin sat next to Ke Chenlin when he came over, and then he noticed that the referee's eyes fell on him.

Jin Xin was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the referee meant.

The referee didn't say a word. After watching for a while, he turned his head and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

This made Jin Xin full of question marks.

After the referee and She Lizhi left, Ke Chenlin said to Jin Xin: "He is not very happy."

"Did I mess with him?" Jin Xin looked confused. He didn't communicate with the referee the whole time, okay? The referee looked at him and frowned. What did the referee do?

"She Lizhi thought we were a couple." Ke Chenlin said.

"Fucking shit!" Jin Xin reacted very strongly, even though he has been in the game, has never had a date, and has no intention of having a date, but he really doesn't have that kind of interest in men.

"Who asked you to put on lipstick?" Ke Chenlin thought it was funny, "The referee probably felt upset when he heard that." Actually, this is also quite strange, the other party just said this, and the referee usually doesn't show his emotions so easily.

"Fuck, what kind of prejudice is this!" Jin Xin poohed a few times, probably because he felt that his thoughts had been tainted by other people's thoughts. After he finished poohing, he asked Ke Chenlin again: "Do you find it difficult to breathe?"

"It's very windy here now," Ke Chenlin said.

Jin Xin nodded, this damn negative buff is really too troublesome: "We have to catch fish later, it should not be in this water area, the fish here are not looking right."

Ke Chenlin recalled those human eyes, and sighed: "It's not right, and I always feel that this dungeon gives me a strong sense of disobedience."

"We don't have time to take care of this right now, we have to catch fish and chop firewood." There is only one fish in their family, and at the current level of hunger, Jin Xin doubts that the gastric juice will digest him first.

There is also firewood. He must not have enough firewood at home now, not for the New Year.

Ke Chenlin got up, and staggered when he got up.

"What's wrong?" Jin Xin supported Ke Chenlin, "What's wrong with Dong?"

Tiredness was Ke Chenlin's first feeling.After recovering, Ke Chenlin began to wonder, could he really live until the New Year in such a state?

"Take it easy." Jin Xin reminded Ke Chenlin.

"It's cold and hungry, and it's starting to be hard to breathe." Ke Chenlin coughed twice, and then continued after he calmed down: "Are we outside now, or in the water?"

Jin Xin paused: "What do you mean?"

"I don't know what the hunger state is, but if it has something to do with the dungeon itself..." Ke Chenlin paused, and then said something weird: "Maybe we can't get enough to eat because we've been eating all the time. They're all hungry."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Xin already understood: "Are you suspecting that this is an illusion?"

Ke Chenlin shook his head, didn't want to say more, turned around, took off his jacket and outer pants and jumped into the water again.

The corpses under the water piled up one after another, most of them were white bones, densely packed like a lawn made up of corpses, Ke Chenlin swam in it for a long time, and then dived in after taking a breath.

He finally saw what he was looking for.

When he saw the face of the corpse, even Ke Chenlin couldn't help but his pupils dilated.

He swam over, dug away the mud under the body, and dragged the body out.

Jin Xin was waiting on the shore, and most of the other players went fishing.

And when Ke Chenlin appeared with the corpse, Jin Xin couldn't help but fucked.

Although the corpse that Ke Chenlin was dragging was somewhat rotten, it was indeed Ke Chenlin's face that could be seen.

"The corpses we are going to dig up are not those of strangers." Ke Chenlin coughed up the water from his mouth, he choked when he saw his face just now, "It is our own corpses. "

"I feel better now, but I probably have more than one dead body." Ke Chenlin looked back at the river, "Why did I get stuck in there, or how many times did I die?"

Wanting to escape from underwater is not influenced by other monsters, but the "self" under the water has a relationship with the id, and the "self" wants to escape here.

Jin Xin's expression became serious, and he also jumped into the water. After a while, he fished out a corpse that looked quite similar to him with a black face.

"We may not have just entered the game." Jin Xin said in a deep voice, "It shouldn't be, I have no reason to die in a game of this level." This seems to be arrogant, but he is really just pure doubts, After all, he is a veteran who is used to scrambling in the most dangerous dungeons.

"Referee." Ke Chenlin said, "The biggest problem is the referee."

The wooden box that the referee came to deliver the meal was carved on the spot. This may be the result of the combination of the referee's heaven-defying knowledge reserve and strong physical fitness, but it may have been prepared long ago.

When they came in, they heard the sound of the system, but it might not be the "yesterday" they thought, their memories had been cut and spliced.

"You said the referee killed us?" Jin Xin was a little surprised.

"I don't know, but this dungeon was definitely not that complicated in the first place." Ke Chenlin shook his head, "Perhaps we only had one body buried at the bottom of the river in the first place."

"This is the only one with my face I found." Jin Xin pointed to the corpse lying on the ground.

"And those bones." Ke Chenlin reminded him, "Can you tell which one is yours from the skull?"

If you find the wrong corpse, the accumulation of negative emotions will only get worse.

"Hey, let's put it aside for now, so as not to be discovered by the referee." Jin Xin didn't know what bargaining chip the referee had in his hand, and under such circumstances, even with his temperament, he didn't dare to move rashly.

"Maybe it's late." Ke Chenlin coughed twice, and then shouted loudly: "Honey, are you around here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee who was hiding in the woods came out.

The referee glanced at the body thrown on the ground, then looked at Ke Chenlin: "You found it again?"

"Again?" Ke Chenlin laughed twice, he looked very friendly now, and he didn't mean to be angry at all, "My dear, did you kill me?"

"No kill." The referee said.

"Jin Xin, can you catch fish and chop firewood?" Ke Chenlin turned his head and asked, "I may have some personal grievances that need to be resolved."

"Success." Jin Xin walked away with a cold face.

After confirming that no one was there, Ke Chenlin kicked his body aside and waved at the referee: "Come here, dear."

The author has something to say:
