Infinity Game: I want to live

"What to do, there are only two of us left... Am I going to die too..." A pale girl anxiously grabbed her trousers and hid in the innermost part of the room tremblingly, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die ..."

There was only one oil lamp in the room, and the dim yellow light barely illuminated the whole room with the beating of the flame.Everything in the house had burnt marks, and piles of ashes could be seen in some places. I don't know what was left after it was burnt.It was pitch black outside the window, there was no moonlight or starlight, and even though it was summer, there was no sound of cicadas singing.Everything was silent, and the girl's sobbing seemed extremely loud here.

"Shut up if you don't want to die!" Lin Dong's nerves were already tense, but this girl would only cry aside, which made him even more irritable, "You know how to cry, how did you survive the last game?"

The girl looked at Lin Dong in horror, and immediately covered her mouth, not daring to speak, but she could see her shoulders trembling, and she let out uncontrollable sobs from time to time.

Although Lin Dong was irritable, he still forced himself to calm down and find a way to survive.

This time the game is called "Ghost Groom".The game location is a mansion of the Republic of China where Lin Dong is at this time.Almost everyone in this house died in a fire, and the night of the fire was the young master's wedding night.

The young master is obsessed with his bride, and stays in the world as a ghost, refusing to leave.

Everyone speculates that the way to clear the death game this time is to find the ghost's fiancée and complete his unfinished wedding.

The previous progress was carried out perfectly under the leadership of a fifth-level veteran player named "Yu Shuri".They successfully found the only servant who survived the fire because he left the house to discard the waste.

They also found the letter written by the young master to his fiancée and the young master's bow tie among the waste that the servants were going to discard back then, and even followed the clues to find the bride's natal home and found the bride's relics.

The game gave them three days to complete the task. On the second day, Yu Shuri confidently brought the bride's relic—a pair of jade earrings—and lit the incense to summon ghosts.

Everything after that was like a sudden nightmare, and everyone was trapped in it, unable to escape.

Yu Shuri was bitten off by the male ghost on the spot, and blood was sprayed into the air, splashing blood all over the people in the front row.Lin Dong couldn't forget the stench from the evil spirits, and several novice players vomited on the spot.

The punishment that would have come three days later had been brought forward.

Every day, one person will die, and the order of death is calculated according to the player's level from high to low.The veteran players with high levels and experience died in the first five days, leaving only a few rookies who just finished a game or two.

And the introduction of this game clearly stated that this is a "welfare" game...

"Fuck!" Lin Dong scolded, sitting in front of the table with a very bad expression.I thought it would be easy to survive this death game with a few old players, but they died faster.

On the table are the clues that everyone found together.

A pair of jade earrings, a men's bow tie, a love letter written by the young master to the bride, and a copy of the words of the surviving servants recorded by Yu Shuri.

There were three hours left before the ghost appeared.Both he and the girl were novices who had just finished a game. According to the previous experience of ghosts eating people, if the players were of the same level, they would eat the male first and then the female.

In other words, Lin Dong's life was almost only three hours left.

what to do.Lin Dong clenched his fists tightly, his palms covered with cold sweat.

He frowned tightly, staring at the four things in front of him.It must be too late to look for clues. Lin Dong knew that if he had any chance of surviving, then this chance of survival must be hidden among these four things.

Jade earrings, bow tie, love letter, servant's words... There must be some connection among these four things.

What is the connection?

Lin Dong looked at the paper in his hand that recorded the words of the surviving servants, and fell into deep thought.

"Hey, I didn't survive because I was ordered by the master to throw away some trash..."

"Our young master, he had just returned from overseas and had his wedding less than a month after returning. The bride is the daughter of the Li family, a wealthy family in the town. She is a well-known lady, but who knows, oh..."

"The young master left the country at the age of 14, and he just turned [-] when he came back. Ah, by the way, it seems that he had a big fight with the master and his wife because of the wedding, saying that the wedding was too hasty, and he was afraid of wronging the bride... ..."

The young master who came back from overseas, the wedding held right after he came back, a big fight with his parents, fear of wronging the bride...

As Lin Dong read it, he always felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience, as if the young master didn't want to get married... Lin Dong smiled wryly, how could he not want to get married?This love letter on the table—how could one not want to write such a love letter to the bride?

Opening this old letter, Lin Dong's hands trembled slightly.

The letter is very old, and because of the years, many handwritings are not very clear.In the past few days, Lin Dong has read this letter countless times, and he knows that he probably won't find anything.

But he still opened the letter again with a hope that was almost begging, hoping to find some useful information.

"...Thinking so much, I can't sleep or eat at ease... I miss you every day, but I can't sleep at night. If you can see the ceremony in ten days, can you see it? It must be seen, my heart is at ease, and it is delicious to eat!"

"...the ancients said 'a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold', every time I read this, I miss Qingqing..."

"It's a ten-day gift, you can wear this to relieve my lovesickness, please! I love you, my dear! Attach a kiss to relieve my lovesickness."

The letter ended here, signed by Xie Zhuoyan, presumably it should be the name of the ghost during his lifetime.

The love letter is full of lovesickness, even written too explicitly, but it is not surprising that this young master Xie has been abroad for six years, even the last sentence "Iloveyou" can be regarded as a kind of interest in the lover's world.

The whole love letter is clearly saying, I miss you to death!We will get married in ten days, you have to come dressed up, I will be so happy to see it!

Before he died, he would be sprinkled with dog food, and Lin Dong couldn't laugh or cry.

This young master is not willing to get married, he is obviously too willing.

Lin Dong put down the love letter dejectedly, slumped in the chair, and couldn't help but smile wryly.If marriage isn't a ghost's wish, what is?Have you found a bride?But the bride died a long time ago, where can I find him?

Is it possible to find the ghost of the bride for him?

Lin Dong stroked the Peppa Pig watch on his wrist and remained silent.This is Qu He's 20th birthday present to him, wishing him to be three years old forever.However, Qu He disappeared after that, and there has been no news for five years.

Are you going to die?Thinking to himself, Lin Dong took off the pink watch on his wrist that was incompatible with his temperament, and turned it to the back.

A line of letters "QLOVEL" was engraved on it. Lin Dong stroked the notch on the watch and suddenly thought of Qu He.

Lin Dong has always regarded Qu He as a close friend, and Qu He's thoughts...seeing the letters on the watch, any fool would know what they mean.

"QLOVEL"

Qu He loves Lin Dong.

People will always leave some traces on the things they like to express their feelings.

Lin Dong put on the Peppa Pig watch again, picked up the pair of jade earrings, and observed carefully.

The light green earrings are of ordinary workmanship, but they are the relics of the bride, which is what the letter said, "The ceremony will be completed in ten days, and you can wear it before you come."

Putting down the earrings and looking at the bow tie, Lin Dong sat on the chair, quietly waiting for his death after three hours.

……

and many more!

Earrings, "Put it on here"... Lin Dong was thinking, and the sense of disobedience appeared again. He seemed to have found a thin rope in the chaos, and for the first time he had a direction of thinking.

A pair of jade earrings, "Pear this here" on the letter... Lin Dong has not forgotten that this pair of earrings is a relic found at the bride's natal home!

Although the earrings are of ordinary workmanship, they have no trace of being burned at all, that is to say, the bride did not wear this pair of earrings on her wedding day...

Lin Dong's expression changed, and he immediately opened the papers that recorded the words of the survivors.

"The young master left the country at the age of 14, and he just turned [-] when he came back..."

"The wedding was held less than a month after I came back..."

"I had a big fight with Mrs. Master..."

"Hey, I didn't survive because I was ordered by the master to throw away some trash..."

The sense of disobedience became stronger and stronger. Lin Dong couldn't tell what was wrong, but he always felt that the truth was right in front of him, separated only by a thin layer of paper, but he couldn't grasp or touch it.

Where, what is wrong?

Lin Dong read the love letter again and thought about it together with the words of the survivor.

"I think about you every day, but I can't sleep at night. If the ceremony is completed in ten days, can you see you?"

"The wedding was held less than a month after I came back..."

"...the ancients said 'a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold', every time I read this, I miss Qingqing..."

"The bride is the daughter of the Li family, a wealthy family in the town, and she is a well-known lady..."

"It's a ten-day gift, you can wear this to relieve my lovesickness, please! I love you, my dear! Attach a kiss to relieve my lovesickness."

"I even had a big fight with Mrs. Master, saying that the wedding was too hasty, and I was afraid that the bride would be wronged..."

……

Why do you only think about you every day and can’t sleep at night after only returning from overseas for a month? It's like the bride is running away; why did she not wear the pair of jade earrings on the wedding day when she clearly asked the bride to "come with these"...

Lin Dong thought so far, and suddenly realized a problem he had overlooked.The servant seemed to have said something—"Hey, I didn't survive because the master ordered me to throw some trash..."

And that love letter... was saved from being destroyed in the fire because it was trash and was thrown away by servants!

In other words, the bride did not receive the letter... But, how did the woman get the jade earrings that were given along with the letter?

And, why throw away this love letter?

……

While thinking, he squinted at his Peppa Pig watch, and something seemed to flash in Lin Dong's mind.

QLOVEL.

"I love you, my dear!"

The earrings are not the "here" of "Pear this here" on the letter. The young master didn't want to get married. Before getting married, the young master had a big fight with his parents, and the love letter was ordered by the master to throw it away...

"Could it be, shouldn't be..." Lin Dong's eyes suddenly turned to the bow tie that had been neglected on the table, and he picked it up with trembling hands.Seeing Lin Dong like this, the girl at the side walked over hesitantly, and also looked at the bow tie in his hand.

Lin Dong held his breath and slowly opened the tie.

Every step of opening the tie was suffering, Lin Dong forced himself to calm down, his heart was still beating violently.

The moment he untied the tie, Lin Dong saw the information on it clearly and let out a long breath.

He should have survived.

……

three hours later.

A mass of black, disgusting substance moved along the corridor and approached Lin Dong's room.

The mud-colored liquid kept slipping from the mass of matter, sticking to the places it walked, exuding bursts of violent, suffocating bloody smell.

Standing at the door of the room, Lin Dong wore a black tie around his neck. He suppressed the desire to vomit and tried his best to maintain a smile on his face. He smiled and stretched out his hand to the evil spirit that had bitten off the heads of countless people.

"Zhuo Yan, I'm here to pick you up," Lin Dong smiled, trying his best to control his body, forcing himself not to show the slightest fear in front of this terrifying black monster, "Come with me, we can't get married, let's elope. "

The black monster stared at Lin Dong for a long while, then suddenly let out a strange cry, rushed up, and was about to bite his head!

Lin Dong's pupils dilated, he never expected such an ending, and panicked for a while.At the very moment, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he shouted loudly: "I love you, my dear!"

"Huh", the huge black body stopped three inches in front of Lin Dong's eyes, and fell silent for a moment.

It was so quiet that Lin Dong could only hear his own breathing.

After a while, the black giant whimpered all over his body, and the sound became louder and louder, turning into a howl, which made Lin Dong's eardrums hurt, but he didn't dare to cover his ears, and kept extending his hand.

The body of the black giant collapsed in howling, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating, leaving behind a pale young man dressed in the Republic of China.

The young man looked at Lin Dong with nostalgia, reached out to hold his outstretched hand, and smiled.

Did you make it?Lin Dong's heart was beating violently. Even though the pale young man in front of him seemed harmless to humans and animals, he still couldn't guarantee anything.

The young man kept a happy smile on his face, just looking at Lin Dong like this.Lin Dong didn't dare to make a sound, so he confronted him and looked at him desperately, watching the smile on the young man's face begin to change.

The young man's smile became eccentric, and his mouth was not pursed like before, but opened slightly, forming a strange arc.

Suddenly, the male ghost's mouth split open to the back of the ears, and he spit out a tongue with a strong fishy smell, wrapping around Lin Dong's neck.

Lin Dong was wrapped around his neck by his tongue, his face turned purple, and the saliva in his mouth was secreted uncontrollably. He wanted to swallow it, but he was choked, and more saliva still flowed down his open mouth. flowed out.

Lin Dong felt that his vision began to blur, his head, lungs, and neck seemed to explode, and his ears began to hear a loud "buzzing" sound, because he couldn't inhale, he couldn't even smell the stench of the male ghost's tongue .

Are you going to die?Before Lin Dong lost consciousness, he thought of this.

……

"Congratulations to trainee player 'Lin Dong' and trainee player 'Zhao Xiaoxiao' for successfully clearing the D-level game."

"Player 'Lin Dong' scored 'B', the reward will be issued after exiting the game."

"Player 'Zhao Xiaoxiao' scored 'E-', the reward will be issued after exiting the game."

……

Listening to the system's broadcast, Lin Dong always felt unreal.Isn't he dead?

He didn't understand how he survived, and suddenly remembered the "key link playback" function mentioned by those senior players.

"Replay the key link?" Lin Dong said to himself, "How to replay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of light on the wall in front of him, and a picture appeared.

On the screen, Lin Dong is being wrapped around the neck by the male ghost's tongue, looking like he is dying, his mouth is opened ugly, his face is smeared, and a lot of it is on the male ghost's tongue.

Lin Dong couldn't accept that the reason he survived was because his saliva got on the male ghost's tongue—as for why Lin Dong knew it was because there was such a line on the screen, "The key link: kiss goodbye"

Lin Dong: "..."

Maybe some saliva would count as a kiss.

……

In the game just now, Lin Dong always felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience, but he still couldn't grasp the edge.Until he accidentally glances at his Peppa Pig watch.

"QLOVEL" was engraved on it, which made Lin Dong think of "Iloveyou" in the love letter.The question is, Master Xie has only been back to China for a month, how could he be so deeply attached to a woman he has almost never met?Thinking about the frank and naked longing in the letter, as well as the various abnormal behaviors before marriage, and the "this" that did not exist in "Peiqian Come", Lin Dong faintly had his own speculation.

It was not the bride who received the letter, but someone else.

Why did the parents force Young Master Xie to get married after only a month after returning home, even if there was a big fight, why didn't they back down?Families that allow their children to study abroad will not be so disregarding their children's feelings.In other words, Young Master Xie's parents thought that he must get married, and they did so right away.

Linking these pieces of information, Lin Dong's conjecture has basically formed, and then linking the words of the servants - "Oh, I survived because I was ordered by the master to throw away some trash..." It can be known that this letter and The bow tie is thrown away by the master of this house.

Throwing away the letter written by the son, throwing away the son's bow tie...it's too incomprehensible to say it.Finally, after untying the tie, everything finally came to light.

There is a line on the back of the tie after the tie is undone: "TOMYDEAR"

Obviously, this men's tie is not Master Xie's, but he wants to send it along with the love letter to others.In the letter, "Pear me here", this bow tie is what I want to wear.

As for why it was a men's bow tie... Lin Dong thought, probably this young master and Qu He are the same kind of person.

That way, the whole thing becomes clear.When Master Xie came back from overseas, his family found out that he liked men, so he was forced to marry him.He wrote a letter to ask his lover to snatch the marriage, but the letter was intercepted by the master's men on the way, and it was delivered to the master together with the bow tie he sent, which aggravated the conflict, which was the reason why the young master had a big fight at home.On the night of getting married, maybe it was an accident, maybe it was man-made, the whole house caught fire, no one survived, only the servant who was ordered by the master to throw away the waste escaped.

Because of his obsession, Master Xie turned into a ghost, waiting for his lover in the house, year after year.

In this game, the clues have been misleading everyone to focus on the bride, but they don't know that the pair of jade earrings are actually the most useless clues.

The real clue was the black tie that was ignored by everyone.

Some people also suspected the bow tie, but they regarded it as Mr. Xie's own bow tie and ignored it. Some people who saw "TOMYDEAR" when they opened the bow tie thought it was given to Mr. Xie by someone else, so they put it aside.

As for the conditions for kissing goodbye, Lin Dong rejoiced for his good luck—although he ignored the last sentence in the letter, "attach a kiss to relieve lovesickness", he still survived by mistake.

The key link turned out to be kissing the evil ghost, and Lin Dong felt a chill in his heart just thinking about it.

The game of death... is worthy of the name, even Lin Dong, who guessed the whole incident, would have died if it wasn't for luck at the end.

……

Lin Dong was not in the mood to lament for Master Xie, because this giant black monster almost killed them all, and Lin Dong himself almost died under his giant mouth.

Moreover, he didn't have time to think about this game anymore.

Because, he heard the system beep.

"Ding dong, trainee player 'Lin Dong' received a reward 'B-level dungeon' in a D-level game."

"The reward 'B-level copy' has been issued."

"Player 'Lin Dong' please get ready, the dungeon will be forcibly opened in ten seconds, ten..."

"Nine……"

"Eight……"

……

Lin Dong: "???"

Lin Dong: "!!!"

"God, I am □□!" Lin Dong pointed at the sky and cursed, and passed out with the last "one" from the system.

The game... begins.
