cross

Why do I ask that sentence!

I almost fled from the Red Church. My heart was full, and I didn’t know how to muster up the courage to ask that question. I didn’t even dare to look at Joseph’s expression. I regretted it almost as soon as I said it.I blushed and ran back to the manor, which surprised Marta, who didn't know the reason, for a while, and then held complicated emotions until the next game started.

The scenery of the Red Church is the same as yesterday, except for the extra cameras in the venue, there is no other change.

I had known the news in advance, and I was prepared in my heart, so I found a place to hide at the beginning of the game.

Joseph never eliminated me, although at the beginning he said he would only let me go three times, but every time I met him, I was always the accident that was ignored.He's always taking care of me, and to be honest, I haven't fought against him at all, except for the first two times when I was bewildered.

I came out of the hiding place after the sound of taking pictures. The reason why I did this was because I had made an appointment with him to really try to play a game-after all, even if he let me go, I might not be able to watch him Eliminate my teammates.I can't brazenly enjoy Joseph's eccentric victory, and at the same time interfere with his work greedily... It can be said that I am a bit hypocritical, but I still want to try to win by myself.

The cipher machine deciphers very slowly for every photographer’s session. Once the mirror world collapses and the effect of time folding is projected into reality, the deciphering progress of the cipher machine will roll back... Unless the deciphering is successful before the end of the mirror world, time will It will be doubled and extended, which can be said to be very exhausting.

Among survivors, it is quite rare to be able to completely decipher a cipher machine while the mirror image exists.As far as I know, both Helena and Tracy can do it, but Joseph is not easy to be restrained by other survivors, making it difficult for everyone to decipher it at ease, which is also very distressing.

I found a cipher machine in the corner of the ruins, and went all out, because it took a little time before, and it was almost deciphered before the end of the mirror image. When the light above the cipher machine was on, a teammate also fell to the ground.

I glanced over there. When the situation is not critical, I generally have no plans to save people, so I went straight to find the next cipher machine.

The antenna above the cipher machine was shaking, the printing paper was spit out and swallowed back, and the shaft on the top kept turning. I was gradually immersed in the rhythm of the keyboard tapping, and there was only one thing left in my mind-deciphering, turning this cipher The machine deciphered it!

A shrill scream sounded suddenly, accompanied by the explosion of the air, which woke me up. I looked up in astonishment, and saw a chair-shaped black shadow rushing up into the sky, leaving behind bursts of desperate cries Hover over the field.

Wait...why, no one came to the rescue?

I realized this, and the deciphering actions of my subordinates stopped unknowingly. Just when I felt that my mood was a little complicated, there was a sound of footsteps.

... There is no crisis warning, it is a teammate.

The magician trotted over from the other side of the ruined wall, saw that I was deciphering, greeted me and ran to the next place.

The magician's deciphering speed is not slow. If we decipher together with the two of us, it will reduce the efficiency a bit.And in Joseph's scene, if he didn't decipher it fast enough, he would only be dragged to death a little bit.

Another cipher machine was deciphered, and another teammate who had not met also sat on the carnival chair.There is a cipher machine not far from the cipher machine I deciphered. I rushed over and saw the magician deciphering it.

He put his magic wand aside, stared intently at the keyboard, and kept working, as if he didn't know that someone had been arrested again. When he saw me, he smiled slightly: "Miss Yeager."

I stopped in a bit of a tangled pace: "Want to help?"

He glanced at the time and said casually: "Alright, there is not much time until the end of the mirror image, let's decipher it together."

I went up to help. This cipher machine has just started deciphering, and the progress bar is still far behind. The magician can’t finish deciphering it alone before the mirror world collapses. No wonder he invited me to decipher it together, but...

"Aren't we going to save people, sir?" I glanced hesitantly at the carnival chair in the distance to remind me that the captured survivor couldn't last that long.

As soon as the words were finished, I noticed that the magician gave me a weird look, with some surprise in his eyes, he took a deep look at me, and said slowly: "If you want to save him, I have no objection."

"Because I won't go, and I don't suggest you go there either."

"Why?" I can already see that the supervisor is not near the carnival chair: "This is a good opportunity!"

The magician didn't even look at it at all, and only concentrated on deciphering his cipher machine.

...Obviously his magic wand didn't work even once.

I was so entangled, and my reason told me that since I have the ability to save people and choose to watch, I should not act, but maybe I have gotten used to the enthusiasm of Marta and Nebu, which made me start to care about being in the same game Companion, I still can't bear to do so.

The magician frowned: "Beth Fernley!"

"If it weren't for the extremely slow deciphering speed of the photographer, I really don't want to remind you, you will regret it."

I was at a loss and didn't know what he was referring to: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety."

So I rushed towards the carnival chair, regardless of the complicated eyes of the magician.

"If possible, can I ask you to treat everyone equally in the next game? Although I am very grateful for your kindness, but... I don't want to be a vase that has been dragging you down and can only rely on your blessing."

She lowered her head with a blushing face. In fact, from the girl's face, one could still see the weakness after being eliminated by the regulators, but her eyes were still gentle and firm.

In fact, there is hardness in her personality, and she will not change it once she is determined, just like the "Bible" she was holding in her hand that day, and if he didn't accept it, he would not give it up.

Joseph asked her why she thought this way, and she said, I'm sorry, the supervisor knew about their marriage contract and caused him trouble.

In fact, he revealed it voluntarily.

Such a simple request, Joseph agreed, and took the first photo in anticipation of her performance.

Stepping into the mirror world, everything turned into lifeless gray and white. Joseph found mirror images one by one along the distribution of cipher machines, but only one was missed.

"...Have you hidden it? It's not stupid." After pondering for a while, he realized what was going on, and he chopped down a mirror and tied it to a carnival chair.It doesn't matter, there are still opportunities in this game.

Find the fallen survivors, eliminate the first one, and enter the mirror image again.

It was impossible for her not to decipher it, so this time, he still found it.

Probably when the photo was taken, he was rushing to the next cipher machine. The mirror image stood in the open space, with big eyes that should have been purple, watching him slowly approach without moving.

Everything faded to gray and white, like an old-fashioned photo, without any extra colors. The girl's mirror image is like a puppet that has lost its vitality, with its chin raised slightly, and its blank and empty eyes looking forward, as if it can be played by anyone.

White porcelain-like fingers caressed her face, long and sharp nails inserted into her tarnished black hair, Joseph's eyes lingered on her eyebrows, lightly pressed the tear mole at the corner of her eye, and touched her small lips.

She is very in line with the aesthetics of the upper class, with her fragile beauty, plus the moles at the corners of her eyes, and her vivid expression, there is an extra temptation in her frailty, every frown and smile is charming, making people want to protect her, care for her, Imprisoning her and torturing her is full of contradictions.

Little liar.

Joseph recalled her frightened appearance, and the appearance of her blushing and bowing her head, and sighed slightly—the mirror image is far less interesting than the real person. With a flip of her wrist, the cold blade passed through the girl's mirror image.

He lowered his eyes and looked, even if he was injured, he would not scream. He stood there without any reaction, which made him lose interest. Just as he was about to knock down the mirror image, he heard a faint movement.

I saw a survivor hiding next to a nearby cipher machine. She originally deciphered it there, thinking that the mirror world would be safer and would not be deterred, but unexpectedly the supervisor came here.

Then she saw a scene that broke her usual impression of regulators.The very good-looking supervisor caressed a mirrored face, his eyes seemed to be looking at a lover, gentle and dangerous, as if he could kiss him lightly in the next second.

It is true that Miss Yeager is indeed a beauty... The picture of the two beauties together is indeed pleasing to the eye, but... these days, are the supervisors trying to plot against the survivor's mirror image?Thinking about the rumors she heard before, she just felt ridiculous.I wanted to sneak away, but because I was too surprised, I accidentally made a movement in a trance.

...I'm going to die, is it too late to say nothing now... Facing the supervisor's cold gaze, she thought desperately.

The author has something to say: Joseph: Silence.
