I am the villain on the infinite set [Infinite]

In the depths of my fiery home, the calling bell will ring.

Encouraging you and everyone to join our lineup of evil sycophants.

This is a song created by the Metallica band in 1991. This metal wave swept North America. It is said that many criminals loved it back then, and even the prison played the song "Jumpin the Fire".

While listening to the song, Zhuo Yu tapped the armrest of the wheelchair lightly with his fingers, as if he was beating the time with the devilish singing.

"Listening to such loud heavy metal again." A middle-aged man sat opposite him impatiently: "It's just noise."

Zhuo Yu's fingers paused, and he retorted: "Strictly speaking, it's thrash metal."

"I'm not here to talk about music with you. The deadline is approaching, and overseas publishers are rushing you. You..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the slightly hoarse voice of the young writer: "I'm going on a long trip."

"Are you serious? Running around at a time like this? And you can't move on your own in this situation. You push the wheelchair? You should just stay at home." The editor asked several questions in succession, clearly disapproving.

Zhuo Yu didn't retaliate, he knew that this worry was not without reason.

Because since three years ago, there have been a large number of missing persons cases across the country, with more than 700 million cases recorded alone.And this kind of situation is not limited to domestic, even abroad is happening one after another.

No matter how much manpower and material resources the police deploy, these people who disappeared for no reason are like stones dropped into the sea, without any news.Scientists also tried to find results in their own fields, but still found nothing.

In the beginning, the government could keep it a secret, but when this kind of unexplained disappearance has affected most of the people and become a world-class disaster, this unsolved case can no longer be suppressed.In the first year, the people panicked and took to the streets to parade, but in the third year, everyone got used to it, and even accepted the rhetoric that "the changes in the earth's magnetic field cause people's senses to be abnormal, and they become particularly easy to get lost."

It is nothing more than not going to the streets when it is dark, but choosing places with surveillance video and implanting location chips distributed by the government for free.

Human beings have always been very adaptable, and most people continue to live as usual, even though the number of missing people this year has reached the highest in history.

Zhuo Yu's silence made the editor a little embarrassed. He didn't know if his words offended the other party. After all, no matter how famous Zhuo Yu was, he was also a disabled person.And Zhuo Yu has always been very concerned about this.

When he first met Zhuo Yu, Zhuo Yu had already spent all his wealth on the treatment of his legs, and it has been the same until now. Every time the high manuscript fee arrives, it will be invested in the treatment fund, but the money is basically paid for. Fucking, he didn't understand the other party's morbid attachment at all.

In the silent atmosphere, the music is still playing.

There's a mission and I'm the one doing it

you people chose me

Now your destiny is at hand, I will not hesitate

push you into the pit

The violent sound of the electric guitar was like a chainsaw, which made the middle-aged man a little anxious. Just when he was hesitating to say something, Zhuo Yu handed over a tablet, ending the battle between heaven and man in his heart. .

The above is an anonymous forum, and the domain name is very complicated and secretive. On the first page, there is a red post, and the font is scarlet and dazzling.

[Fire friends, my cousin has returned home, but some changes have taken place in him that I cannot accept...]

The editor's curiosity was aroused, he clicked in, and found that the person who posted the post was very disturbed, and he could almost imagine the appearance of the other party as a headless chicken.In the chaotic words, he pieced together a complete story.

The sunny and cheerful boy disappeared after school for no reason, and returned inexplicably three months later. His whole personality changed drastically and he was extremely violent, but the most frightening thing was that this boy was once disabled.

He played in his father's factory when he was a child, and his left hand was cut off by a machine, but now he is intact, his left hand appeared out of nowhere, and there are exactly the same moles on it as before.This is not something that can be explained by science at all.

Recovery from disability... The editor was startled suddenly, he raised his head and stared at Zhuo Yu suddenly, and suddenly had a bad association in his mind.

"I discovered this forum three years ago. Many people with missing relatives and friends gathered here on their own. Of course, there are also people like me who have had nightmares for a long time and found it by following the clues."

Zhuo Yu shrugged innocently, but the fanaticism in his tone made the man opposite him stand on end.

"According to my investigation, many missing people often had a weird dream like me. In the dream, we were all burned by fire, and the pain was almost real. And after waking up, they would involuntarily want to touch flame."

The editor swallowed, and lowered his eyes unnaturally, not daring to look at Zhuo Yu.Because the things in Zhuo Yu's eyes were too hot, as if some nameless belief had arisen in vain, as if it was going to set the whole person on fire.

bring it on

jump into fire

bring it on

jump into fire

The harsh music intensified the panic. The editor wanted to stop Zhuo Yu, but he couldn't speak at all.

"I didn't pay much attention to this matter before, I just tried my best to avoid the flames until I saw this post." Zhuo Yu still kept his smile, "Thirteen cases, I found thirteen cases of recovery from disabilities. case, it's no accident."

The middle-aged man couldn't listen anymore, he said incoherently: "Why are you telling me this? No, what are you going to do, you..."

"Hush...shh." Zhuo Yu put his fingers on his lips: "Look into my eyes."

The editor raised his head subconsciously, and his gaze hit the other party's dark and bottomless eyes. Soon, he calmed down, and the anxiety that was about to get angry disappeared.He found that every time he looked into Zhuo Yu's eyes, he felt inexplicably calm, so he couldn't get angry, and agreed to many things in a daze.

"I just need a witness." Zhuo Yu said, "You know I am a person with a great sense of ritual."

As he spoke, he pulled out the necklace from his neck, and what hung on the necklace was a beautifully crafted lighter inlaid with jewels. If you don't look at its function, it is almost a work of art.

"Don't be impulsive!"

The editor screamed, and his heartstrings that had just calmed down rose again. He had completely believed the other party's unrealistic remarks, because... just like Zhuo Yu said, he himself had such a dream.

With a click, a cluster of exuberant blue flames burst out, and Zhuo Yu's delicate face that was too young and too superior was set off by the flames, and there seemed to be flames dancing in his eyes.

The last moment the editor saw him was Zhuo Yu's silent lips.

——My friend, I'll wait for you over there.

[Welcome the trainee actor "Zhuo Yu" to enter the set, the movie "Lakeside Strange Talk" has been loaded~]

[This film is rated as: Murder (10v1), please survive to the end of the film, I wish all actors good luck. 】

Zhuo Yu was awakened by the night wind, the humid air was mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees, and there was also a smell of soil after the rain.

When he opened his eyes, he saw several strangers gathered not far away, and everyone's faces were filled with fear.

"10v1, the system wants us to die! Ten people fight against a BOSS, what a joke!"

"Damn, don't talk about us, those senior actors may not be able to hold on."

"Wait, there are six newcomers on this set?!"

As soon as the words fell, four men and women of different ages looked at Zhuo Yu, and the despair in their eyes became more and more real.

"Not only are there newcomers, but there is also a fucking paralyzed man!"

A middle-aged man disturbed the anger in the air. His face was pale, and he stood up scrambling and yelling: "What's new? Where is this? I'm going to call the police! I'm telling you, kidnapping is a felony!"

The girl next to her was different. Looking at the dark sky and the completely unfamiliar environment, she was trembling.

"This is missing, so this is missing..." The girl seemed to think of something, she fell to the ground in despair, covering her face and muttering to herself.

Zhuo Yu got a headache from the noise, he came back rationally, and found a dilapidated old wheelchair under him, a spacious road in front of him, and a few cars parked nearby, it was no longer the scene of the living room.

It succeeded... He really succeeded!

Unlike others, what he felt was not fear and panic, but a kind of extreme ecstasy, but he couldn't express it, so he could only purse his lips and restrain his overly strong emotions.

"Just smoking a cigarette, what happened, who can explain to me?"

"Help! I was cooking at home last second!"

The surroundings are already in chaos, but no one can explain their confusion. The only thing they have in common is that they touched the flames.

The group of four looked at the newcomer with grim teeth, and then leaned against the big car and discussed something by themselves, with dissatisfaction and anxiety on their brows.The muscular man in the lead stopped their complaints with a big wave of his hand: "Don't talk about this, it's better to think about how to survive."

He finally set his sights on the newcomer, and said seriously: "Long story short, you are in a horror movie now, if you want to survive, you can only follow the tasks given to you by the system, all you need to know now is enough .”

Zhou Wu raised his wrist: "Touch the tattoo on it, it is more convincing than me."

Zhuo Yu lowered his head when he heard the words, and sure enough, he saw a flame-shaped red tattoo on his wrist. When he touched the flame with his fingertips, his vision was suddenly occupied by strange icons.

As if playing a game, the time and text appeared in front of his eyes, and what was scrolling in front of his eyes was a series of brief announcements.

【Welcome the trainees to the set, the basic operation guide has been put in your backpack, please click to view. 】

Zhuo Yu clicked on the backpack icon in the void according to the prompt, and three grids came into view, one of which was occupied by a manual, and just by clicking, the contents of the manual flooded into his mind.

Zhuo Yu quickly understood the usefulness of the "menu interface".

To put it simply, they are all selected by the "studio", a small number of unlucky ones became "actors", and most of the remaining missing persons actually became "audiences" on the horror set.

As long as the film is completed according to the requirements of the system, you can get "flame points" as rewards, upgrade your level, exchange items, and even do things that are completely impossible in the real world.

Money, power, beautiful women in cars, for example, in exchange for perfectly healthy legs.

But on the other hand, if the actors are passive and sabotage, they will be punished by the system. As for the punishment method, it is to make their nightmares come true and burn their souls with fire. This kind of punishment will not kill people, and the actors can only suffer in extreme pain. Want to die.

This is just like a bad game, Zhuo Yu doesn't want to explore the reasons for the formation here, or the meaning of this killing show, what does the flame represent, he only knows that as long as he survives, his long-cherished wish will be fulfilled .

[It has been detected that the trainee actors are already familiar with the basic operations, and the horror movie "Wonderful Talk by the Lake" is about to begin...]

[Actor Zhuo Yu, your current role is: a traveler who suffered a car accident.Character Quality: Unknown. 】

[Current task: Lead four students into the lakeside hut.When you reach the target location, the main storyline will start. 】

In an instant, a memory entered my mind. In this world, Zhuo Yu was a traveler who hit a tree on the way to the Golden Lake. After waiting for a long time, he finally met four students who also went to the Golden Lake for camping. , and passers-by who came to help.

Zhuo Yu looked up, and sure enough, not far away, he saw a handicapped mobility vehicle crashed into a tree trunk. The poor car had overturned, with all four wheels facing upwards, and a puff of black smoke was emitting from time to time.

It's strange that he recalled those bloody characters on the mission thoughtfully.According to the guidebook, the goals of the actors are basically the same, which is to survive the movie boss and escape from birth.

However, his task seems to be different, the word "yin" is very subtle.

"Where did the system throw us?" Zhou Wu's voice interrupted Zhuo Yu's thoughts.

Zhou Wu was pacing back and forth with his chin pinched. He rummaged through the RV and the clothes on his body. He had no mobile phone or map. He didn't know the location or the time.

Other veterans echoed: "Is it true that there are no hints at all on this difficult set?"

"Everyone..." Zhuo Yu cut in abruptly: "If you want to know where this is, it's probably in the United States."

Zhou Wu was stunned for a moment, then sarcastically said, "What do you know as a newcomer?"

He didn't want to talk to this kind of person who could only hold back at first glance.God knows why a paralyzed person was put in on a difficult set.

He ignored Zhuo Yu, and looked at his mission with some confusion. The scarlet letter said to arrive at the Golden Lake before dawn. There was no clue left, and he didn't even know which direction to go.

Zhuo Yu was not angry, he scanned the surrounding environment, and his tone was still calm: "The highway we are on has two-way twelve-lane lanes, which is very rare in our country. Secondly, do you smell the fragrance in the air?"

Zhou Wu was taken aback by the words, and subconsciously nodded.

"This is the smell of bitter orange blossoms. They only bloom from April to June, and before I came here, it was September." Zhuo Yu tapped on the armrest of the wheelchair with his index finger: "So I choose to believe The voice in your head, you are probably the so-called 'studio' veterans?"

"By the way, I speculate that we are now in Florida, USA." Zhuo Yu once again pointed to the speed limit sign not far from the road, which marked the three capital letters of FSH: "That is the abbreviation of Florida Scenic Highway , Coincidentally, the specialty of Florida is oranges, and the state flower is bitter orange, which is planted in large quantities everywhere and is a common greening plant."

The other seniors were speechless, the three of them looked at Zhou Wu, and whispered: "This kid seems to be very familiar with this place, do you want to take him?"

Only then did Zhou Wu come to his senses and nodded. Obtaining information is an important part of the set. This newcomer seems to be good at it, and he also needs someone familiar with the local area to lead the way.It is a big deal to give up the other party when there is danger, and there is no loss for them.

"Our role is a student who is on vacation outside the town, and the goal is to go to the Golden Lake." Zhou Wu took the initiative to report the task to show his sincerity, and he patted the RV, "Come up."

Knowing that they had accepted him, Zhuo Yu shook the wheels and came to the caravan, was helped into the car, and the wheelchair was also folded and fixed at the rear of the car.

But the treatment of other newcomers is different.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I was still in the company last second, how could I wake up and go straight to the United States!" The middle-aged man pointed at Zhuo Yu and the others: "I understand, you are cheating me, maybe you will return it to me!" Feed hallucinogens, you know I just raised 2000 million!"

The seniors looked at him with pity.

The middle-aged man seemed to be convinced of this, and quickly ran into the car next to him, turned the car key and stepped on the accelerator, as if he wanted to escape from the road, and drove forward with a buzz.

The other newcomers didn't dare to trust the nagging seniors. In addition, they had cars at hand and had the ability to leave here, so they followed in the footsteps of the middle-aged man, drove to the exit of the highway, and went home wholeheartedly.

Only the girl who murmured about the disappearance did not leave, she pleaded: "You take me, something is wrong here, please!"

But no one paid any attention to her, Zhou Wu didn't even look at this weak girl, and closed the car door, completely sealing off her only hope of survival.

As the RV started, Zhuo Yu silently looked at the girl who was getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror, and drank the mineral water that Zhou Wu handed over.

"Don't look at it, we won't take her with you." Zhou Wu sat next to Zhuo Yu: "The end of the incompetent is death, including myself."

He looked at the disabled newcomer inquiringly, and asked, "How did you analyze the location? Can you really know just by smelling the fragrance of flowers?"

Zhuo Yu shrugged: "I used to live in the United States for a few years to treat my legs. In fact, I can tell where you are just by looking at the license plate numbers."

Zhou Wu was startled and said, "Then what are you talking about, it's about flowers and road signs."

"I don't talk about that, and you won't take me with you." Zhuo Yu smiled slightly, and patted Zhou Wu's shoulder calmly: "Fooling people is also a kind of ability, come here, you won't take me Kick off the car."

Zhou Wu laughed angrily, but on the contrary he had a little affection for Zhuo Yu: "Good boy, you are amazing."

Zhuo Yu thought about his mission, and said casually: "Speaking of which, the air humidity here is very high, and the destination should be nearby."

"You're not fooling me again, are you?"

"how come."

"Then follow the road and pay attention to the road signs." Zhou Wuchao instructed his teammates who were driving.

He was just joking. He didn't think Zhuo Yu, a handicapped person, would be so bold as to deceive a senior person. After all, in this dangerous world, Zhuo Yu was just a useless person. If he didn't have his own protection, he would be the first to die. he.

Zhou Wu devoted himself to the task, but he didn't know that he had become someone else's task.

Zhuo Yu blocked the big words "Bring four students to the lakeside hut" from his eyes, and the icons and scrolling announcements also disappeared, and the cluttered vision finally calmed down.

At the same time, a huge screen was broadcasting every move of the five people.

[Look, there are so many new actors in the difficult area, how unlucky is this? 】

[Grass, there is actually a paralyzed person, long time no see, shouldn't this kind of person be protected by novices?How could it be assigned to the murderous difficulty? 】

[The appearance is indeed suitable for being an actor. She looks very young, which is a pity. 】

[Hahaha, it's really strange, I don't know how he will die?Paralyzed people can't swim, right?Since it’s called Lakeside Strange Talk, I bet he will drown~]

[Ignorance, this kid is definitely not as simple as it looks, but unfortunately he can't see the tasks assigned by the actors. 】

[So what, it's just a paralyzed man, I bet he was abandoned by his teammates and killed in the crowd of monsters! 】

[It's opening, it's opening~]

With the barrage in full swing, the number of viewers of "Strange Talk by the Lake" is increasing.Except for the very low probability of this film appearing, it is considered a rarity, and most viewers have never seen it. On the other hand, they want to see the second rarity—the paralyzed man in a difficult film.

And Zhuo Yu, who knew nothing about it, was enjoying the scenery leisurely.

He looked out of the moonlit window, the breeze, the swaying branches and grass, and the occasional chirping of birds all showed that this was the real world, not a thin roll of film.This is a supernatural power that humans cannot explain, and Zhuo Yu is not afraid of the power of "horror movies".

He is very at ease.

Unprecedented peace of mind.

As a terminally ill perfectionist, he finally had the chance to be "whole".
