The index finger turned over a page, and the novel came to another scene.
"I walked on this road for a long time until the street lights went out, but the sun did not rise."
"I was trapped in this place. The extra footprints on the ground were in the shape of my blood. I don't know when. I hid the kitchen knife in my belly and used needle and thread to mend the cracks."
"I can't find him."
"The barking of hounds started coming from behind me, and I started running, running wildly in the endless alleys until I reached a dead end. When I turned my head, I saw my own body."
"My belly was torn apart by a kitchen knife during the jolts. The dog barked and approached. It was a stray dog. He came to me and excitedly lowered his head and sniffed. Yes, he found the food he wanted, but I haven't yet.
.”
"Snowing."
"I can't find him."
"After my body decomposed, the stray dogs left contentedly, and the remaining traces were buried in the snow. I stepped over my body, enjoying the pleasure of stepping on the pile of rotten flesh. The soles of my feet were stained with blood. I walked for a long time, and came here
When you get to where the snow melts, it’s a path with no end in sight.”
"I walked on this road for a long time until the street lights went out, but the sun did not rise."
"I was trapped in this place. The extra footprints on the ground were in the shape of my blood. I don't know when. I hid the kitchen knife in my belly and used needle and thread to mend the cracks."
"This is the murder weapon, I know it, so I have to hide it."
"To the man buried in the snow just now, I was just a stray dog with bloody teeth. I lowered my head, smashed his belly with a kitchen knife, and then got the food I wanted most, but I
I don’t know how long I can go.”
"The barking of hounds started coming from behind me, and I ran until I died."
"The sun still rises as usual."
…
The reader let out a sigh. She seemed to understand this passage, but she seemed to understand it vaguely. But it was obvious that this author had never let her down. She would buy this new book and take it home to look for the hidden meanings in it.
Answer.
The girl picked up the book and walked to the checkout counter of the bookstore. Several junior high school students came in noisily, but the administrator whispered to stop them and asked for silence.
"Hello, I'll place an order for this new book by Yun Xia, "Reincarnation"."
The cashier raised his head to scan the QR code and said with a smile: "This book is selling very well. Young people nowadays seem to like reading this kind of mystery novels."
"Maybe." The girl did not want to attribute her love for this book to her youth, but she did not refute it. Only those who read it seriously will know that this is not curiosity, but some kind of resonance deep in the soul.
.
Just like the last novel called "Rot".
…
In early January, the cold wave that came all the way from the bay enveloped Yakin City, and the city fell again with snow, which was like goose feathers, covering the sky and the earth.
There are still many people on the commercial streets in the city center. On the first day after the snow stopped, they came out one after another to release the anguish they had been holding back at home.
The same goes for student parties and office workers. Heavy snow has made travel more difficult, leaving them with no more free time except for two points and one line.
During lunch time, at the entrance of a restaurant with quite good reviews online, several people wearing masks opened the door and walked out of the store. They blended in with the crowd and were not noticeable, but whenever someone approached, they would involuntarily
I would like to express my appreciation for how seductive this group of people is.
Although the whole face cannot be seen clearly, at first glance, the figure is very tall and straight, and he has a natural temperament that stands out from the crowd.
"It's not bad. It's to my liking. I decided to eat here tomorrow too." Carlos' gray-blue fur was more eye-catching, but he didn't have this consciousness at all. He turned his right hand and took out a rose.
Come and put it in front of the store's welcome desk, and received a surprised smile from the welcome lady.
"No one will invite you tomorrow. You have to pay for it at your own expense." Yu Xing saw his cool behavior and did not comment. He stretched out his hand in front of the mask and rubbed it casually to warm his hands.
"Did I ask you to invite me? Do you look down on the financial situation of an excellent magician?" Carlos immediately frowned a little, and then he saw Qu Nianqing standing next to Yu Xing, with delicate features, and he swallowed the rude words behind him.
Go down.
We just met, so I don’t dare to be bold yet.
Yu Xing chuckled lightly, glanced behind him, and after confirming that the silent Jiu Ge was being held by Zhao Mou on his shoulders and had not been lost, he led these people towards his home.
More than half a month has passed since the last live broadcast. After Yu Xing successfully received an S-level evaluation, the system upgraded his level from struggling to mourning as promised, and all the remaining seals in the cage were unlocked.
In addition to the need for an in-depth assessment when first entering the differentiation line to determine the differentiation route, no additional assessment is required from struggle to mourning, from mourning to despair. The system will inform the player of a deduction in advance, "The next deduction is about you.
Level", other than that there's nothing special about it.
The mourning class does have many new privileges, including the frequency of deductions. The hard rule is relaxed to once every two months. If delay props are used, it can be longer.
Other permissions are also very interesting. In addition to unlocking more options in the mall and video area, there is also a [System Negotiation] function. This function seems inconspicuous like the "Contact Customer Service" in most games, but it actually does nothing.
It's very big. This is where Han Yan and the others can squeeze out some benefits from the fairness of the deduction.
In addition, even in the deduction, if the aura is also released, the aura of the mourning level will suppress the struggling level.
Not only did Yu Xing improve his level, but he and Zhao Yijiu, as well as Siren, Bead Vendor, Rubik's Cube and others, all reached the threshold of star performers because of that live broadcast that received too much attention. Now it is also shown in the speech.
A person with a real name.
After getting the new things, Yu Xing was no longer in a hurry to enter any deduction. Instead, he seemed to suddenly calm down and recuperate at home. It was not until January that he struggled out of the quilt and started to form a team.
.
Ridiculous does not have a fixed team template but does have a guild. Although the guild cannot let its members choose to enter a certain deduction together at will, it can at least give the gathered deduction players a status, so many teams take advantage of this convenience to form
There are small guilds whose rankings cannot be seen.
In fact, the Survival Investigation Team is like this. They are just too strong and stand out as a team.
Yu Xing entrusted Zhao Mou to find Carlos in reality. Of course, it is not as easy as it sounds. The deduction system even uses the laws of cause and effect and rules to cover up the information of the deduction. Even if the real name is known, there is no way to check the person. I am afraid that the whole
In the real world, only the Zhao family, which focuses on intelligence among the three major families, has this ability to find people.
After finding the information about Carlos, Yu Xing did not directly fly to deliver the surprise. Instead, he made a phone call first and confessed that he had investigated him, and received a irritable speech from the magician.
Then, he asked Carlos if he wanted to form a team.
Carlos did not hesitate for too long. His strength was obvious to all in the tomb, and Carlos also remembered that Shen from the experiencer world seemed to have mentioned that he and Yu Xing should be teammates in the future.
With some strange expectation, Carlos agreed.
Yu Xing applied for a guild through the system, and the tentative quota was seven people. When the system asked him to fill in the names of the initial members, something went wrong.
There are actually only five of them: Yu Xing, Qu Xianqing, Zhao Mou, Zhao Yijiao, and Carlos. However, after some system testing, Zhao Yijiao needs two places here, and Yu Xing cannot expose the absurd fugitive Li Gui.
The existence of ghosts will implicate Zhao Yijiu, who has become one with the ghosts.
So he filled in "another personality of member Lengjiu's schizophrenia" and barely managed.
The last spot was for Yi Qing. The system said that the ghosts in the sacrifices were not counted as members. Yu Xing was very stubborn and insisted on writing this name. Later, I don’t know if the system discussed it with Yi Qing himself. Anyway,
The final result is yes.
At this point, on January 2nd, "Broken Mirror" was officially established. Although Yiqing wanted to pretend that the name was proposed by him, Yu Xing had heard the name in advance from Yu Fengchen and thought it was pretty good. Maybe he really wanted to do it himself.
Come on, that's it.
For this reason, Yu Xing also thought about where the name came from. Could it be that due to the influence of time, the broken mirror Yu Fengchen saw in the future was precisely because of his words in the tomb.
Which one is the cause and which one is the effect?
Yu Xing was thinking in bed at night to no avail, and was quickly sealed away by the quilt.
On the morning of January 3rd, that is, today, Carlos arrived in Mijin City by plane. For him, where he lives is not a big deal. He is a person who travels to various cities and has no burden.
So... Yu Xing took the others with him and had a meal together, which he invited.
The original intention was for everyone to get to know each other, but the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little weird.
Maybe...it was because of Qu Nianqing's problem. Although this woman was the youngest, her aura was too strong. Even if Yu Xing told her not to be reserved, the other three men still felt inexplicably unable to let go of her.
Carlos met the legendary witch for the first time. Although Qu Xianqing's reputation has been reversed, it is still true that he is decisive in killing. Before he wants to skin him, he must consider whether it will break.
leg.
Fortunately, Zhao Mou adapted quickly and can now joke with Qu Xianqing. As for Zhao Yijiu, Qu Xianqing always used the word "little sister" to bring back bad memories for him. Now poor Jiu Ge sees
When I see Qu Nianqing, I want to hide.
"The weather is really cold." Zhao Mou pushed up his glasses to relieve the rising fog from the lenses, and complained a little, "Although it's not snowing anymore, the thaw is really not something that an elderly person like me can bear."
Zhao Yijiu was held in his arms, and he probably felt it was too cold, so he replied: "Yes, you can't hide your cold legs anymore."
"..." Zhao Mou was just trying to make a fool of himself. It didn't mean that others could call him old. He nodded Zhao Yijius' head with a smile, "Brother, I'm only twenty-eight. Twenty-eight is a flower."
, the age of formal youth, where did the old cold legs come from.”
"Tsk." Qu Nianqing was very disrespectful.
Zhao Mou: "..."
"To be fair," Zhao Mou said, "I had no intention of joining this team. If Yu Xing hadn't threatened me with ajiu, I wouldn't have agreed so easily."
When Yu Xing's name was called, he paused slightly and was very dissatisfied: "So?"
Zhao Mou raised his eyebrows: "So you should respect me a little more and don't always let your team members attack me personally."
"Oh, you can also try to control your brother yourself and prevent him from attacking you personally." There was a smile in Yu Xing's narrow phoenix eyes, and then he was put on the shoulder by Carlos, and the other end
The blue hair rubbed against the fur collar of Yu Xing's down jacket, and it seemed that the material was the same.
"Hey, when you broadcast live last time, I was recuperating because of the pollution in the tomb, so I didn't go to see it. I heard that you were awesome, but I didn't feel much about it. I just found out today... that you really have no respect for your predecessors.
None." The magician squinted his eyes, "I always feel that you have too many secrets. Why don't you reveal some to me so that I can know who my captain is?"
Carlos didn't notice that Yu Xing was looking at his hair, which had become a little dry due to frequent hair dyeing. He was not an honest person to begin with, so Qing Mimi just wanted to get information.
Yu Xing put one hand in his pocket and pushed Carlos' head away with the other: "Want to know?"
Carlos twitched his lips: "Stop beating dumb fans."
"Actually, I am a two-hundred-year-old ghost." Yu Xing curled his lips, "I have been surviving among humans by absorbing other people's life force, huh? I actually said it, that's not okay, you know too much
.”
He stretched out his hand and instantly clamped down on Carlos's arm, then pulled hard, and Carlos was pulled forward without the ability to resist. A strong arm pressed against Carlos' head, making him lean backward.
Carlos: "Ah!"
"Childish." Zhao Yijiu snorted coldly.
"You can be more childish." Zhao Mou pushed him, but accidentally used too much force. Jiu Ge stumbled a step and was hit by Yu Xing as a sneak attack.
Zhao Yijiu: "..."
Yu Xing: "...Ah this."
Being beaten up innocently made him very unhappy, so Zhao Yijiu beat him back while Yu Xing looked at him in astonishment.
"... Damn, you're bullying someone." Carlos was very dissatisfied. Yu Xing only dodged and did not confront Zhao Yijius head-on, but still clamped down on him! He struggled, "Forget it if you don't say it, let it go, don't let a magic trick happen."
The teacher has lost his grace."
Yu Xing heard him begging for mercy and then let go.
On the street, a few men were playing and fighting like children. Maybe there is no difference between boys in their twenties and teenagers.
"...Ah, I used to think," Qu Xianqing followed coldly, "Yu Xing has experienced too much, so he has an old mentality."
"Now it seems that I am not really old, I just have no friends."
"He will be sad if he hears what you said." Zhao Mou was more mature and did not participate. He pushed up his glasses, clicked his tongue, and showed a fox-like smile.
Qu Nianqing sneered: "He will only take the opportunity to show that he is very young. Maybe if he is thicker-skinned, he can call me sister, which makes me feel unbearable."
Zhao Mou thought for a while and said, "Isn't that great? I got a younger brother for nothing."
Qu Xianqing: "No."
Zhao Mou: "Huh?"
"It's not good, because I really can't bear it." The 23-year-old tall woman looked a little complicated. The reason for this was impossible to explain to Zhao Mou.
Imagine that the slut who looked like this had taken her for a while like a child since she was a child, and now he had become her younger brother. Just thinking of such a scene made Qu Nianqing feel very... ashamed.
Very life-saving.
Zhao Mou was keenly aware that there might be some story in this, so he coughed twice and changed the subject.
After walking along the road for about twenty minutes, the bustling crowd gradually became smaller and smaller. From the commercial area to the residential area, Yu Xing led them upstairs to the floor where he lived.
Before entering the door, Yu Xing thought of something and asked, "How are Zhang Yu and Zeng Ranran?"
Qu Xianqing said: "It's not bad. They are both very smart. They performed well in the deduction and were very stable."
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows: "Have you paid attention to them?"
"I'm not paying attention, could it be you?" Qu Xianqing gave him a white look, "Hurry up and open the door, I'm thirsty."
He treats himself very much like an outsider.
Yu Xing brought a few people here, mainly because he wanted to have a meeting. The dinner table would be more relaxed and everyone could get to know each other. Now is the time to understand their abilities and discuss future plans.
After entering the house, the heater was turned on, and everyone took off their coats and hung them on the coat rack at the door.
Carlos looked around and found that the house was relatively simple in decoration, but in very good taste. The modern furniture gave it a faint antique charm.
If you look carefully, any small piece of furniture is worth a lot of money. Even the smaller the ornament, the more expensive it is. Carlos said casually: "Don't I want to settle here? Your house is quite big. Do you need roommates~
"
Yu Xing casually answered: "There is no shortage of roommates, but if you want to find a house, you can live upstairs or downstairs. They are all mine."
As soon as these words came out, except for Qu Nianqing, everyone else paused in their steps and looked at him with strange eyes.
"Are you that rich?" Carlos couldn't believe it. "How rich are painters these days?"
"I've been a ghost for two hundred years, can't I still accumulate some wealth?" Yu Xing snorted, and Carlos immediately shut up. He didn't want to recall the scene of being suppressed on the street just now.
A few people sat down on the sofa in the living room, and then Yu Xing summoned the dream of shooting green. As the green color spread, Yi Qing's figure appeared in the air.
This time, Yiqing chose to completely reveal himself. His figure appeared in everyone's eyes. As his clothes fluttered, the crystal ornaments collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
Not being in the deduction, Yiqing's ability has no limit. He simply turned into a physical entity, and sat down next to Yu Xing carelessly in the eyes of others who were either surprised, wary, or confused.
"Hello everyone, I am Yiqing. I am very honored to meet you." Even though he sank into the soft sofa, Yiqing was still sitting upright, like a well-educated gentleman in ancient times. He
The fan bones in his hand merge together and the sound is gentle.
There is a saying, if Yiqing is not restricted by the system and is willing to cooperate with the action, then he will be the most powerful person in the Broken Mirror Team. However, these two conditions are not so easy to achieve, just like in the Horror Hospital
In the last room, he would rather watch the show with his arms folded than make a sound.
"Wait a minute, this sound..." Carlos frowned slightly, and his lazy posture became more serious. His eyes turned slightly and fell on the pendant on Yi Qing's body, hesitating, "This sound of crystal collision
Why does it feel familiar to me? It seems that when I was walking in the tomb with my eyes closed, the ghost that harassed me also had this kind of sound."
Yiqing: "...ah, really."
Yu Xing: "Well..."
"He has always been with you?" Carlos locked eyes with Yu Xing, "So it was you who was teasing me at that time."
"I won't take the blame." Yu Xing let out a laugh in his throat, "For a formal introduction, this is Sheqing Ligui, you can call him Yiqing. I brought him out of the deduction using the convenience of sacrifices. He
If you want fun, I want help, it’s mutual benefit. But... I can’t control what he does, unless I beg him pitifully."
After saying that, Yu Xing faced Carlos very sincerely and gave him an excellent suggestion: "So your debt should be settled on him. Why, do you want to come back with revenge? Really, while he is incarnate now,
beat him."
"The green-shooting ghost..." Carlos was very interested, but also very serious. He kept flipping a coin on his finger and looked very flexible. "Well, wait until I have the strength to beat him."
"I'm looking forward to it very much." Yiqing smiled.
"Now that everyone knows each other, let's get down to business?" Zhao Mou looked at the time.
Yu Xing nodded, spread his palms, and motioned for Zhao Mou to speak.
Zhao Mou is the vice-captain of the Broken Mirror Team. Due to various factors involved and Qu Xianqing's expression that he was not interested in becoming the captain, Yu Xing gave Zhao Mou the position of vice-captain and vice-president of the guild.
Zhao Mou is indeed a very suitable candidate. He has connections, IQ, and is good at calculations and layouts. He is already a good military advisor.
"I want to talk about two things today. One is to determine our own position within the team. This requires us to share a large part of our sacrifice abilities. Yu Xing should have mentioned this in advance when he invited you to join the team." He
This was mainly meant for Carlos. Among the people present, only Carlos was a stranger to him and had never cooperated with him before.
"Uh-huh." Carlos knew clearly and responded lazily.
As for the team, although it is usually difficult to schedule them into a deduction, the absurd system will launch some live broadcasts or activities that can lead people from time to time. At that time, the team's advantage is too great.
When teamwork and team fighting are required, knowing each other's abilities will be the basis for tactical arrangements and on-the-spot reactions.
Zhao Mou nodded. When they got together, they didn't need to show any seriousness and obedience. They just needed to listen: "The second thing is to discuss the event released by the absurd system five days ago."
"Deduction assessment, admission ticket to the secret team competition mode."
