Every day I'm on the verge of death

Lu Jifeng stood in the wind and snow and looked at the door of Yuanshen's stepfather's house from a distance. The people who gathered at the door in the morning hadn't left yet. Now that he knew that he would be resurrected constantly, he decided to sneak around in order not to alarm those people. Go and listen to the situation.

The strong wind and snow, coupled with his small size, under the cover of the wind and snow, he quickly walked to the back of the wooden house. Everyone was at the front door, and no one would notice him in this position.

Because the wind was relatively strong, he couldn't hear the sound in the room very clearly. He looked around and found that there was no one there, so he went to the window and tiptoed to look at the situation in the house.

He couldn't see clearly through the glass, but it was roughly certain that there was no one there. The curtain behind the window sill in the room was quite large, so he hid behind it at the beginning of last night, and he could hide in now that there was no one there.

He can't die in this game, otherwise the game will reset again, and if he keeps resetting, he may never have the chance to leave the game, so he must be careful to avoid all possible fatal events.

The window is a small glass window that can be pushed left and right. Because of his small size, he has no pressure to climb up. After successfully climbing in, he gently pushed the glass back and hid behind the curtain.

The two people who were lying on the ground were no longer there, they should have been taken away, there should be someone in the room, Lu Jifeng didn't dare to go out, so he didn't know what they were doing, but he could hear some sporadic words.

"Just tie her like this all the time...if..."

"We must find...the breakthrough of the devil, and we can't let the whole town continue..."

The two people who spoke were men, and some of their words were relatively soft, so Lu Jifeng couldn't hear clearly, but it can be guessed that they tied Rita up, or that Yuanshen's mother was not dead, so in order to prevent her from getting sick. tied up.

The purpose of their doing this should be because they no longer want to continue the current cycle of life, such a bad weather environment, and a demon that may kill them at any time.

And they want to find a breakthrough point. From a normal situation, the stepfather's family, which will be resurrected like Lu Jifeng, is the best choice.

Lu Jifeng felt that if he still failed in this mission, he would probably be directly killed by these people every time he was resurrected in subsequent missions.

After all, when people are in extreme situations, they can do anything, not to mention that they are just npcs programmed in this game.

It was already afternoon, and it was very close to the end of the game. He still didn't see Rita's cheap sister in the room, and the two people in the room didn't say anything else after the initial conversation.

He couldn't spend all his time here, at this moment there was a voice coming from the door, the voice was a little familiar, and a few seconds later, several people walked in from the door and sat at the small table that was a long time away from Lu Jifeng.

Lu Jifeng opened a corner of the curtain and saw the boss sitting on the chair, and the young man who came with him because he was worried. In addition, there were two accompanying men, who should have been guarding the door.

"What are you doing here?"

The person who asked the question was one of the gatekeepers. His tone was respectful. It can be seen that the owner of the roast duck restaurant should have a high status in the town.

The boss behaved generously. He pointed to the inner room with his hand on crutches: "I heard that the mayor decided to break the current situation, so let's see how your research is going."

The man guarding the door looked in the direction of the room, then stood up politely.

"It's not very good. You can go in, of course, if you like."

The boss waved his hand, with a look of lack of interest, he looked at Lu Jifeng's direction intentionally or unintentionally, and continued to ask.

"I heard that little girl Rita also bought matches from that man. How is she doing?"

Hearing the boss's question, the gatekeeper, who was still smiling, suddenly became serious.

"She lit the match hidden by us last night when we were not paying attention, and now she has entered a state of obsession."

The boss tapped the crutch with the tip of his hand again and again, and said in a flat tone.

"That means there's still no way to prevent the match from being lit."

The two gatekeepers seemed to be a little afraid of the boss, and their bodies trembled slightly after hearing the boss's light words.

"Not yet, but we'll definitely find it."

The boss was not talking, he stood up and smiled slightly in the direction of Lu Jifeng, Lu Jifeng didn't know whether the other party was laughing at himself, or the man who said he would definitely find a way.

But he's sure the boss's laugh offended him a little.

The boss had already left and got the answer he wanted, and Lu Jifeng didn't need to stay any longer. After everyone left the room, he climbed out of the window again.

He left against the wind and snow, and he met the boss who seemed to be waiting for him not far away.

"What's your purpose?"

Lu Jifeng looked at the boss with vigilant eyes. From the conversation between the boss and the two men, it can be seen that the identity of the owner of this roast duck restaurant is definitely not as simple as the owner of the roast duck restaurant.

Lu Jifeng's gaze was too obvious, but the owner of the roast duck shop didn't seem to care about his vigilance, he looked past Lu Jifeng and looked into the distance.

"I have no purpose."

The more the other party is like this, the more Lu Jifeng feels that the other party is hiding something from him.

"You think I'll believe it?"

When the boss's eyes returned to Lu Jifeng again, there was a hint of helplessness on his face when facing the child's unreasonable troubles.

"My purpose is the same as theirs, that is to end the current blizzard and restore the town to its previous life, but I chose a different direction from them."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lu Jifeng actually felt that there was sincerity in his eyes that was visible to the naked eye, because Lu Jifeng didn't speak, the boss' eyes met Lu Jifeng's, and when he spoke again, his tone was sincere.

"I trust you and my instincts, and I know you're the key to getting this town back to normal."

The cold wind was blowing on Lu Jifeng's body, and he could no longer feel the coldness. It seemed that the closer the game was to the end, his body temperature would gradually disappear.

He twitched the already stiff corners of his mouth, and showed a kind smile to the boss, but the next second, the two people on the opposite side were amused by his current expression.

Because of the loss of temperature, his body gradually stiffened, and his facial muscles became unresponsive. The result of forcing the corners of his mouth to smile was to make him look like the corners of his mouth were cramped.

"You will be in this state every time until the last day, but it feels that the time is much earlier than after the first death and resurrection."

The boss's explanation made Lu Jifeng realize that infinite death may not be endless. If he just went into a state of rigidity after waking up once, then he would lose any possibility of action.

In other words, he can only stay in place and wait to die, but how many times can he continue this cycle of waiting in place to die?Lu Jifeng squeezed his arm, he really couldn't feel the pain anymore, he sighed.

"Let's go, go back first."

Although it was not difficult for him to feel the temperature, the two people on the opposite side would still feel cold. Chatting in the cold wind was definitely not a wise choice.

The fireplace in the room was burning, and the three sat around the fireplace without talking, while Lu Jifeng was staring at the matches in his bamboo basket in a daze.

Since I have already tried everything I can think of, what options do I have now?

In fact, the method that Lu Jifeng wants to try most now is to directly wet the matches, but he knows in his heart that such a simple method should have been tried by his previous self when he was resurrected for the first time.

If the matches are sold, they will die if they are ignited. If the matches are not sold, according to the story of the boss, he will strike the matches one by one and die on the street.

Lu Jifeng patted his forehead, leaned his head back on the chair, looked at the snow-white roof above his head, and didn't know what to do.

This was the first time since he entered the game that he was in such a chaotic mood. He even had a feeling that he might not be able to get out of the game. He blinked his sour eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a flickering light in his eyes, and he remembered that he said to Yuanben's mother, 'You must use matches to light the fire tonight. '.

And when he gave the matches to Rita, although he gave advice, he did not clearly state the use time, so Rita still used the matches after he left even if someone was watching them.

That is to say, as long as he specifies the use time, the box of matches will be reserved for use at the time he specified.

He sat up straight and looked at the young man who was crooked into the boss's arms. He suddenly became upset. This was the first time someone sprinkled food in front of him since he met Tang Wuyin again.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Boss held my hand a day ago and praised me for being beautiful."

As soon as Lu Jifeng's words fell, the boy crawled out of the boss's arms. He stood up and turned his back to Lu Jifeng and the boss, and he trembled slightly from behind.

The boss seemed to be caught off guard by Lu Jifeng's coquettish manipulation, he stood up and hugged the boy into his arms.

"You know what kind of character you are. If I am not like that, you will come to me? Will you be willing to listen to me?"

"... "

Indeed, if it wasn't for the boss's behavior that misunderstood him, he really wouldn't take him for a fool, but he felt very impatient when he saw the actions of the two in front of him, and he wanted to see Tang Wuyin as soon as possible.

"I already know how to solve the problem of not being able to resist striking a match."

He speculated that he had the right to decide on the use of matches, and his previous self should have done a lot of experiments for this, otherwise he would not have left such a definite answer.

When all the impossibilities have been ruled out, the last remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, will be the correct answer.

"I'll sell you this box of matches, but please be sure to use them after you don't want to continue living in this world."

Lu Jifeng took out a box of matches from the basket and handed it to the boss. The boy seemed to want to object, but he remained silent after seeing the boss shaking his head.

The boss stared at the match in Lu Jifeng's hand for a long time, but he didn't take it, and Lu Jifeng was not in a hurry. When facing life and death, he always gave the other party some time to choose.

"I still say that, I trust you, and I trust my intuition."

The boss held the match in his right hand, and took out a coin with the other hand and put it in Lu Jifeng's palm. The system prompt sounded in Lu Jifeng's mind, and the boss continued to speak.

"If I die, no one can help you."

There was a slight smile on the boss's face, he squeezed the boy's hand a little tight, Lu Jifeng knew that the boy was still scared.

"You will not die, but you will never see me again."

"If possible, I really don't want to see you again."

Lu Jifeng understands what the boss said, if Lu Jifeng does not leave, the town will not return to normal.

Lu Jifeng leaned on the sofa and watched the wind and snow outside. According to the boss, if his method fails, he will start the next cycle after dawn tomorrow.

He slowly closed his eyes, lay down on the sofa and prepared to wait here for the dawn.
