Doomsday Game

Old man Zhao looked at the watch on his wrist with a bit of bitterness in his eyes:

"I wait here at [-]:[-] every day. After waiting for so long, I finally waited for you."

This old man Zhao is actually a reincarnation?

Lin Yue was a little surprised.

The appearance of the old man Zhao before did not look like a reincarnation at all, but an ordinary rural old man.

But now... something is different.

When the old man Zhao showed the tattoo on the back of his hand, he straightened his waist and stood upright, his gray eyes became deep and cunning, and the plain clothes on his body could not conceal his sharpness.

This guy's acting skills are really strong!

Thinking about it now, this old man Zhao really has so many doubts, but Lin Yue had preconceived them before and unconsciously ignored those doubts.

Feng Mo couldn't help laughing and asked:

"You actually have the memory of those two previous times? Then why didn't you expose me last time?"

Old man Zhao looked at Feng Mo and smiled:

"The first time I met you, I wanted to tell you this directly, but you cut my neck without saying a word, and it hurt so much. I wanted to take revenge on you, so I deliberately asked you to give me I chopped firewood all night."

"Then you are holding a grudge. You deliberately didn't tell us your full name, because you were worried that we had heard your name in the bone area, so that you would not be able to retaliate against us?" Feng Mo smiled innocently, pretending that he could not see The complaint in old man Zhao's eyes.

Old man Zhao admitted frankly, with an upright face:

"Yes! I am so narrow-minded."

Lin Yue was silent for a long time, and at this moment he asked the only question he was currently interested in:

"Then your granddaughter's diary is also fake?"

Old man Zhao nodded:

"Yes, it's also fake. I wrote the diary temporarily when you were chopping wood, just to remind you. When I delivered the bedding to your room, I slipped the diary into that box. Your card is space, right? Give me a pack of cigarettes, and I'll tell you a secret."

Lin Yue took out the cigarette and lighter from the space ring and handed them to old man Zhao.

Old man Zhao was smoking a cigarette, and while puffing, he explained:

"This Four Seasons Mountain world is very interesting.

All novices who die in the bone area will be sucked into this reincarnation world as NPCs. These NPCs do not have reincarnation cards and have lost their memories of being reincarnations. Their lives are also arranged by the reincarnation world. In the infinite cycle of death, there is no happiness at all.

Only reincarnations in the novice protection period can enter this world with memories and cards, and our mission is to save those people trapped in the death reincarnation and give them a relatively happy life.

Thinking about it this way, the world of reincarnation actually has a benevolent side. "

After smoking a cigarette, old man Zhao put the cigarette into his pocket, and solemnly said:

"You were also brought in by Yulia, right? Let me introduce myself to you again. My name is Zhao Tianming. I was the first reincarnated person to discover the entrance of Four Seasons Mountain and the first to enter Four Seasons Mountain. Unfortunately, I Failed and trapped in this small world."

Lin Yue looked at Zhao Tianming coldly:

"You tell us this, do you want us to rescue you?"

Zhao Tianming rolled his eyes:

"Of course! Otherwise, why would I help you! Do you have a reincarnation card? Give me one, my card energy has long been used up, replenish it, and I can help you later, the three of us Together, it is very easy to kill that Balrog female corpse."

Lin Yue's space card is quite special. It consumes no energy every time it is used, so as long as it does not upgrade, it does not need a card.

However, considering that Feng Mo's cards need to replenish energy, Lin Yue still stored more than a dozen first-level and second-level cards in his space ring.

He took out a first-level card and handed it to Zhao Tianming:

"enough?"

Zhao Tianming nodded, took the card and melted it into his tattoo:

"Not enough, at least five more."

Lin Yue hesitated and shook his head:

"Let me see what your abilities are first."

Zhao Tianming agreed.

After the energy was replenished, the color of the tattoo on the back of Zhao Tianming's hand became more obvious, and it was slightly lighter before.

Zhao Tianming stretched out his hand, the tattoo on the back of his hand glowed golden.

At the same time, a layer of golden light lit up on Feng Mo's body.

Zhao Tianming pointed at Feng Mo, his finger swiped in the air, and landed on the roof more than ten meters away.

Feng Mo only felt that his feet were light, and the next moment he was standing on the snow-covered roof.

Zhao Tianming explained to Lin Yue:

"Mine is a level three card, [Soul Transmission], which can teleport people and objects to a specific location. The longest teleportation distance is 20 meters, but there must be attachments, and the teleportation location cannot be in midair."

Lin Yue looked at Feng Mo on the roof, pondered for a moment, took out five first-level cards and handed them to Zhao Tianming——

"I also know how to deal with the corpse of the Balrog. Come, let's discuss the details together."

Zhao Tianming took the card and moved Feng Mo off the roof again.

The three of them had to study the battle plan carefully, and also had to practice tacit understanding. These were not suitable for doing on the street. The three of them started to walk to Zhao Tianming's house.

After walking a few steps, a boy in a brown padded jacket came oncoming on a bicycle.

Seeing this boy, Zhao Tianming extended his hand to greet him:

"Wang Baogang, school is over? Your mother made braised pork for you tonight. It smells so good. Hurry up and eat it!"

The boy named Wang Baogang ignored Zhao Tianming, his attention was attracted by Lin Yue and Feng Mo, he looked at Lin Yue and Feng Mo curiously, with envy in his eyes.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old Xiaocun boy has also reached the age to start paying attention to famous brands. He can tell that the down jackets on Lin Yue and Feng Mo are all big brands and very expensive.

"Rich people...what are you doing in this poor place like ours?"

When passing by Lin Yue and Feng Mo, the young man slowed down, muttered sourly, then immediately sped up the bicycle a few times, and left in the air.

Hearing the boy's muttering, Zhao Tianming cursed with a smile:

"Little brat! Repay the rich."

The three of Lin Yue ignored the boy and continued walking forward.

It was dinner time now, and there were not many people outside. Every time he passed by the door of other people's houses, Lin Yue could clearly see the situation of those villagers' homes through the window.

Most of them are sitting on the hot kang, the family is eating, watching TV, talking and laughing.

When Zhao Tianming was passing by, he would occasionally share a few stories about these villagers with Lin Yue——

"This old Zheng's man is a gambler, and his little finger was cut off when he failed to pay his debts. To be honest, the family is doing well now."

"The daughter of the old Wang's family has a very good life. Once she was tricked by a bastard to the back mountain and was almost ruined. In the end, a lone wolf sprang out from nowhere and scared the bastard away. Daughter of the Wang family, it seems that the wolf had an affair with the dog raised by the old Wang family."

"Old Li's family is just the old couple. They can have children, but neither of them wants to. The old man writes some manuscripts to earn some manuscript fees to support the two of them. They live in seclusion in this small village. They have been in love for decades."

"You can see that they can live a small life. As long as the corpse of the flame witch does not slaughter the village, they can live in peace forever."

When Zhao Tianming said this, he had a smile on his face, as if he was full of longing for the bright future of those villagers.

Lin Yue could see that he had a deep relationship with these villagers.

Feng Mo was also very curious about the stories of these villagers, and he didn't find it annoying to listen to Zhao Tianming's nagging all the way.

Back at Zhao Tianming's house, Lin Yue simply studied a set of combat plans. The three of them raised their opinions and found problems with each other, perfected this set of plans, and added two sets of alternative tactics.

Then the three of them started to practice cooperation in the courtyard of Zhao Tianming's house.

The main purpose is to get used to Zhao Tianming's teleportation ability.

After dozens of trials and wasting the energy of two cards, both Lin Yue and Feng Mo got used to Zhao Tianming's rhythm completely.

Then Lin Yue only left food and cards in the space ring, and piled up the other things in the yard of Zhao Tianming's house, covering them with a tarpaulin.

His space ring needs to contain something more useful.

He had experimented before when he was bored, and the things put into the ring would not interfere with each other, water and fire were incompatible, and everything could be put in it except life forms.

Zhao Tianming turned on the water pump in the kitchen and started pumping water into the water tank.

Lin Yue aimed his ring at the faucet.

He absorbs as much water with the ring as he pumps out.

Until the remaining space in his ring is filled with water.

After getting ready, the three of Lin Yue walked to the end of the village and waited on the only way for the corpse of the Flame Witch.

She must be stopped from a distance, and she must not be allowed to enter the village to cause trouble.

After standing on the path for about half an hour, a group of red flames suddenly appeared on the mountain in the distance.

The fire flickers on and off, getting closer and closer!

coming!

Lin Yue took off his bulky down jacket, climbed up a nearby big tree, squatted on a branch, and waited quietly.

Feng Mo also took off his down jacket, picked up the shield he brought over just now, and stood in the middle of the road, staring at the trail of the Balrog's corpse.

closer...closer...

When the corpse of the Flame Witch was only a dozen meters away from Feng Mo, Feng Mo saw the right moment and rushed forward with the shield on his head!

He discovered yesterday that the heat from the body of the Balrog female corpse would be restrained when it attacked, so as long as it didn't directly touch her body, it wouldn't be burned.

Therefore, Feng Mo only needs to deal with her for a while to buy time for Lin Yue.

The Flame Witch Corpse noticed Lin Yue who was squatting on a nearby tree branch. Her body was attacking Feng Mo crazily, but her head was turned 180°, and her red eyes kept staring at Lin Yue.

As for Lin Yue, expressionless, he gestured towards Zhao Tianming who was a few meters away.

The golden light enveloped Lin Yue's body.

In the next second, Lin Yue disappeared from the branch and appeared behind the corpse of the flame witch!

With a flick of the ring in his hand, a jet of water sprayed out, cooling the body of the Balrog Witch.

The flames above her head and around her eyes went out instantly.

The hot breath from the body of the Balrog girl also disappeared, and the temperature became a little easier to approach.

Feng Mo at the side took the opportunity to use the strong shield as a blade, and cut off an arm of the flame witch's corpse!

Because he was worried that the broken arm of the flame witch's corpse could be reattached, Lin Yue rushed to the broken arm, trying to put it into his space ring.

Very good, the body parts of the Balrog female corpse do not belong to the category of living things, they can be put in!

Zhao Tianming pushed the card.

Lin Yue and Feng Mo's bodies glowed with golden light again, and they were pulled back to Zhao Tianming's side at the same time.

Zhao Tianming's prediction was quite timely.

Before the afterimages of Lin Yue and Feng Mo disappeared, the corpse of the flame witch regained consciousness.

She cried and howled and punched the afterimages of Lin Yue and Feng Mo, her movements were so fast that it was extremely difficult for the naked eye to catch them!

If it weren't for Zhao Tianming's timely transmission, Lin Yue and Feng Mo would have become two corpses now.

After landing, Feng Mo opened his data glasses, and reminded Lin Yue and Zhao Tianming——

"18!"

This number represents the remaining seconds of the Balrog Corpse's berserk state.

Because the speed of the Balrog female corpse is too fast, the signal must be brief, otherwise there is no time to respond.

As long as it survives for another 18 seconds, it can attack the Balrog female corpse again!

At this time, the corpse of the flame witch only had one arm left. Because of the injury, she was extremely violent, and her cry was more shrill and ear-piercing than before.

Relying on Zhao Tianming's help, Lin Yue and Feng Mo deliberately stepped forward to harass the corpse of the Flame Witch.

Zhao Tianming's soul transmission is also very powerful, and every transmission can be pinched at the most perfect time point, so that Lin Yue and Feng Mo are not in any danger.

The situation is completely opposite to yesterday.

This time, it was Lin Yue and Feng Mo who were beating the flame witch's corpse!

Even so, Lin Yue and Feng Mo still kept an eye on Zhao Tianming's actions so as not to be stabbed in the back by him.

After using the soul transmission to survive for 18 seconds, Lin Yue and the others repeated their tricks and poured water on the flame witch's body again, extinguishing the floating flames on her body.

This time, Feng Mo cut off her other arm.

After the Balrog female corpse woke up again, her figure shook even more, she could hardly maintain her balance, and she could no longer attack Lin Yue and Feng Mo with her arms.

Feng Mo opened his glasses and took a test. The Balrog's body that lost both arms only had 42 points of combat power——

"16! 42 combat power!"

After receiving Feng Mo's reminder, Lin Yue and Zhao Tianming's spirits were lifted.

Their tactics went very smoothly!

As long as the torture continued like this, the flame witch corpse would be killed soon.

When dealing with the flame witch's corpse, Feng Mo's eyes fell on the legs of the flame witch's corpse, his eyes were burning.

Next time, Feng Mo decided to remove one calf of the flame witch's corpse.

……

The wailing of the flame demon girl's corpse spread throughout the small village, and the eerie sound made chickens and dogs bark all over the village.

The villagers were also frightened by the cry, and stood at the door of their own houses, looking nervously at the direction of the back mountain, but they didn't dare to move too far away from their door.

Some timid children hugged their mother and cried loudly. The mother herself was very scared, but she didn't dare to show it. She could only look at her man complaining.

And those men were all pale, and some of them were obviously guilty.

Some of them guessed that she was the female corpse in the air-raid shelter just by hearing the cry of the Balrog female corpse.

Even though some people were not familiar with her voice, they could guess who she was. After all, their small village was only that big, and they knew in their hearts what major events had happened in the village.

The villagers were crying and cursing. Some young and middle-aged men gathered at the end of the village with weapons in their hands, intending to check what was going on.

When they bravely came to the battlefield, Lin Yue's battle had come to an end.

The terrifying Balrog female corpse lost her two calves at this time, and could only stand on the ground with her knees, dragging her body forward with difficulty.

Even with this appearance, Lin Yue and Feng Mo couldn't get too close to her due to the heat from the body of the berserk Balrog. They could only wait for the next time to water her to cool down before chopping off her head.

When the Balrog female corpse saw that the villagers had also come, her crying stopped abruptly.

The mournful cry suddenly turned into a grievance accusation, and she screamed hysterically——

"They sealed me in the air-raid shelter! Every household has their hands! No one is innocent! They all deserve to die!"

them?Who is the "they" in the mouth of the Balrog's corpse?

Lin Yue looked at the villagers coldly.

The faces of the villagers were a little unnatural. It seemed that there was indeed something hidden in it.

This thought disappeared in a flash, and Lin Yue decided not to dig out the story behind the corpse of the Balrog.

Even if the villagers are at fault, in order to complete the task, the corpse of the Balrog must die!

At the end of the seconds, Lin Yue gave Zhao Tianming a gesture.

Zhao Tianming understood and teleported Lin Yue behind the corpse of the Flame Witch.

Ice-cold water poured down my head.

The water extinguished the flames on the body of the flame witch, and Feng Mo was also teleported behind the body of the flame witch for a moment.

The deformed shield in his hand swung down towards the back of the Balrog's corpse!

The skull of the flame witch's corpse rolled on the ground, and Lin Yue took it into his space ring.

In the sky, several messages appeared——

[You have completed the task. 】

[Waiting to switch scenes, please wait patiently. 】

[Data settlement... Estimated completion time: 30 minutes later. 】

Before switching worlds immediately, this time it takes 30 minutes to enter the next world?

It seems that the next world should be more complicated.

Lin Yue also put the body of the flame witch's corpse into his space ring.

Just when Lin Yue finished picking up the body parts and stood up straight, Zhao Tianming's voice came from behind him——

"We are like fish, and the sea is just a big fish tank with boundaries. However, being trapped in the sea is much happier than being trapped in a fish tank."

For some reason, this time Zhao Tianming's voice was full of regret and sadness.

What does Zhao Tianming's words... mean?

Lin Yue looked back at Zhao Tianming.

But where Zhao Tianming was standing, no one was there.

Where Zhao Tianming stood, there lay a reincarnation card quietly.

Judging by its sheen, it should be a tier three card.

Feng Mo stepped forward and picked up the reincarnation card, feeling confused:

"It's a level three [Soul Transmission] card...how did Zhao Tianming die?"

Lin Yue also felt confused.

Why did Zhao Tianming die suddenly?

Could it be that once the flame witch's corpse died, he would die with him?

Then why did he deliberately hide this issue?

In order to confirm his guess, Lin Yue pointed to the young man named Wang Baogang in the crowd——

"Come here."

These villagers looked at Lin Yue and Feng Mo with gratitude, but there was also fear and hostility in their gratitude.

The young man was relatively simple. He felt that Lin Yue and Feng Mo were handsome when they killed the monster just now, so he was not afraid of Lin Yue and walked in front of Lin Yue.

Wang Baogang asked Lin Yue:

"Brother, are you exorcists?"

Lin Yue nodded:

"We are exorcists. Did you see where Zhao Tianming went?"

The boy's cheeks were red from the cold, he rubbed his face with his hands, with a dazed expression:

"Brother... who is Zhao Tianming?"

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, and added:

"He lives in the first house at the entrance of the village, and there is a black-and-white native dog at home."

The boy's face suddenly became a little strange:

"Ah? But... that family has moved to the city a long time ago, and no one lives there at all! The black-and-white dog... the old Wang's family has a black-and-white dog, and that dog goes around like a wild dog every day. It’s not surprising to run anywhere. Anyway, it’s definitely not raised by the family at the head of the village.”

Lin Yue was a little unbelieving, and continued to add the description:

"Just a 60-year-old man with small eyes, a high nose, and a height of less than 1.7 meters."

The teenager was apologetic, and a little panicked:

"I'm sorry, brother, I've never seen such a person. I pass by here every night when I go to school, and I've never seen his house with lights on! Brother... the person you mentioned, could it be the same? The hallucination made by that female ghost?"

Lin Yue had a bad association, and with a cold face, he asked several villagers the same question.

The result was the same—these villagers remembered what the Balrog Corpse had done, saw the bravery of Lin Yue and Feng Mo and their appearing and disappearing figures, and saw the group of monsters that suddenly appeared on top of the Balrog Corpse's head. ice water.

But no one saw Zhao Tianming.

Since the effect of Zhao Tianming's teleportation with the card can also be seen by the villagers, it proves that Zhao Tianming really existed, not a figure imagined by Lin Yue and Feng Mo.

But the villagers felt that teleportation was the ability of Lin Yue and Feng Mo.

Moreover, the performance of the villagers is also very strange.

Regarding the origin of the Balrog's corpse, they kept their mouths shut, as if they didn't know anything, but they could easily accept Lin Yue and Feng Mo's setting as "exorcists", taking it for granted.

However, now Lin Yue has no time to care about the secrets of these villagers.

Lin Yue began to fall into deep thought.

Maybe...only reincarnators can see Zhao Tianming?

For ordinary villager NPCs, although they used to be reincarnations, they have long lost their memories of reincarnations, integrated into the world of reincarnation, and were also given various identities and memories.

People like Zhao Tianming who are punished and trapped in the world are probably just "foreign objects" that cannot truly blend into the background of the world.

Perhaps Zhao Tianming is more like a ghost than the corpse of the flame witch.

When this world no longer has to go through the endless cycle of death, Zhao Tianming completely loses the need for existence.

If so...

So what kind of life did Zhao Tianming experience?

No one could talk to Zhao Tianming, and Zhao Tianming was unable to inform the villagers of the danger, unable to save the villagers, and could only helplessly watch the villagers die in front of him time and time again.

He knew everyone in the village, and he opened his mouth about each villager's preferences and personality. It could be seen that he had developed a strong affection for each villager through silent observation.

He was carrying an old coal bucket, and he would wait on the road at the entrance of the village at [-]:[-] every night. No one knew how many dusks he had waited in vain before he could finally feel the reincarnation of his existence. By.

Zhao Tianming must have known for a long time that if the new reincarnator completes the task, he will die.

But alive, he just continued to repeat the loneliness every day and night.

So he chose to help Lin Yue and Feng Mo complete the task, free himself, and save those fresh lives.

This old man can actually laugh and say "In fact, the reincarnation world also has a benevolent side".

The world of reincarnation is obviously extremely cruel to him!

Thinking of this, Lin Yue finally understood what Zhao Tianming meant when the flame witch's corpse fell down—

"We are like fish, and the sea is just a big fish tank with boundaries. However, being trapped in the sea is much happier than being trapped in a fish tank."

If the entire world of reincarnation is the sea, then this small village is the fish tank he was talking about.

Zhao Tianming is fully capable of letting Lin Yue and Feng Mo be trapped here with him, but he didn't choose to do that, because he didn't want to see more "fish" trapped in this desperate "fish tank". Help Lin Yue and Feng Mo return to the "sea".

After Lin Yue figured it out, he stopped asking the villagers.

He stood where he was, sighed, and smoked silently.

Feng Mo at the side also quickly figured out what was going on, he walked to Lin Yue's side, his eyes were confused:

"I think he's a bit stupid. If I were him, I'd make trouble on purpose and make the new reincarnator fail ten times, and everyone would be trapped together, so it wouldn't be so boring."

Lin Yue took a deep look at Feng Mo:

"Perhaps... Zhao Tianming deliberately caused trouble the first two times? Maybe the third time he suddenly showed kindness and couldn't bear to deceive us."

However, even if Zhao Tianming really hesitated the first two times, Lin Yue still felt that Zhao Tianming was worthy of respect.

Lin Yue asked himself, if he was put in the same situation, would he be as selfless as Zhao Tianming?

Lin Yue felt that it might not be possible.

Suddenly, Feng Mo pointed to the sky and patted Lin Yue on the shoulder——

"something wrong!"

Lin Yue looked up, and suddenly his heart tightened——

[Data settlement... Estimated completion time: 4 minutes later. 】

The remaining time for changing the scene just now is 30 minutes, why is there only 4 minutes left now? !

Lin Yue looked at his watch, it was clear that only 7 minutes had passed!

The time shown in the sky is not real time!

Lin Yue thought of a very important thing - the things in his space ring are still in the yard of "Zhao Tianming's house"!

Immediately, the little emotion in his heart was washed away by the tension.

If you don't put things back in the ring quickly, you won't be able to take it to the next world!

He ran at full speed and rushed towards the yard.

As soon as he rushed to the gate of the courtyard, Lin Yue felt a blur in front of his eyes.

Before the scene in front of him blurred, he caught a glimpse of a new line of writing in the sky——

[Data settlement completed. 】

Damn, most of the things in the ring were not taken away!

Lin Yue's heart sank to the bottom.

Ruined!
