Chapter 13: Script

"Is she dead?" the cowardly man followed behind Ling Yi, panting as he ran.

"Dead...... By my hand. ”

The strong man glanced at Ling Yi and said in a deep voice, "Her identity has been revealed...... People are dead, so why do we have to run?"

As the lights began to flicker violently, Ling Yi responded, "Because our main mission is to survive to the end station, when you killed her just now, there was no prompt in my mind that 'the mission is complete'. ”

"This shows that the game will continue. ”

Before the words fell, the carriage was plunged into darkness!

Ling Yi and the three of them hid in the dining car in a panic and leaned against the gate with their bodies.

"She's probably not coming......

Before the cowardly man finished his sentence, he only heard a harsh sound of metal rubbing coming from the sleeper car!

Then there was a muffled sound, and the heavy footsteps on the floor were approaching the dining car little by little!

"It's really ghostly!" the strong man gritted his teeth, patted the cowardly man beside him, and took the scalpel from his hand.

"Wait a minute......

Ling Yi pressed the strong man's wrist: "The safest place now is the seventh carriage, let's find a way to escape in first." ”

"He's right, the space-time there is separated from the other carriages, and no matter how strong it is, it will never be able to get there!"

After negotiating countermeasures, the three of them quietly retreated, holding hands and heading towards the position of the seventh carriage.

In the darkness, the footsteps of that thing were very heavy, and the sound of broken items in the sleeper compartment sounded one after another, and it was also looking for Ling Yi and the others.

"Big brother, where are you hiding?"

The monster's voice was neither male nor female, but it was sharp and abnormal, making people feel furious when they listened to it.

It smirked as it smashed the door of the carriage: "Don't run...... You're all going to die here tonight!"

Gently covering the door of the eighth carriage, Ling Yi didn't even dare to come out, for fear of being heard by that thing.

In the process of escaping, Ling Yi also continued to explore the ideal way to clear the level: the reason why the monster pretended to be a little girl was that it could hide its identity, and secondly, it could use its body to determine the location of the target and improve the success rate of killing the target in the dark!

In other words, if it doesn't know the player's information in advance, it may not be able to successfully complete the kill every time the lights are out!

"If so...... The time on the electronic watch does not move forward according to the number of deaths, but according to the number of times the lights go out!"

Ling Yi's pupils slowly contracted, and he muttered, "If we hide separately from the beginning, or work together to fight against it, as long as we ensure that no one dies during the lights out, then it is not impossible for everyone to survive." ”

"So...... It deliberately summoned people with different locations, occupations, and personalities to participate in the game, just to calculate that these people would not cooperate with each other......"

Groping his way open the door of the seventh carriage, Ling Yi said secretly in his heart: "What really kills people is not monsters, but the indifference and selfishness between people...... From the moment they step on the train, their fate is like in-game data, predestined. ”

"Bang!"

The door of the eighth carriage was knocked away by a punch, and in the darkness, the strange voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "Hehe, I found you!"

Frightened, Ling Yi took the lead in running into the seventh carriage, the biting cold wind was blowing in his face, and Ling Yi secretly said that the temperature here should have exceeded minus 30 degrees!

In the dark, Ling Yi grabbed an arm, and then slammed him into the door, judging by his weight, he was a cowardly man!

"Where the!"

The strong man's voice sounded from outside the door, and in the panic, he was actually lost!

"Run this way!"

Ling Yi shouted loudly without thinking, giving the strong man directions.

Hearing Ling Yi's shout, the strong man rushed to the location of the sound source with his head down!

"Wow Kick ......"

The sound of the strong man's footsteps getting closer and closer, Ling Yi leaned out and stretched his arm out completely.

At this moment, a rapid metal grinding sound began to be heard on the roof of the carriage!

"Run! it's coming from above!"

The speed of the monster was very fast, and the location of the metal grinding sound was already catching up with the footsteps!

In a hurry, Ling Yi didn't care about his own safety, and rushed out of the door of the seventh carriage to help the strong man! Judging by the sound of footsteps, the strong man was only a few steps away from himself!

Holding the cowardly man's arm with one hand, Ling Yi reached out and grabbed the strong man's shirt!

"Pull back!"

At the sound of an order, the three of them exerted force at the same time!

Ling Yi staggered back into the carriage, and the strong man's figure finally stepped through the door!

The seventh carriage has a special structure, it has a separate time and space, and although it appears to be brightly lit from the inside, when you step out of the door, it is no different from the other carriages, and it is in darkness.

Looking at the strong man leaning into the upper body of the carriage, the corners of Ling Yi's mouth moved: "Succeeded......"

But in a second, the strong man's eyes became extremely stunned, and then his upper body slapped heavily on the gate connection like a dead ball!

Seeing that this was wrong, Ling Yi grabbed the strong man's hand hard, trying to pull him closer to the carriage.

Started lightly, Ling Yi stayed in place...... It turned out that he dragged into the carriage only the upper half of the body of a strong man!

"Him!"

The cowardly man was so frightened that he ran away: "He should have already come in......"

Ling Yi put down the strong man's palm, although many of them had died before, this was the first corpse he had seen on the train.

The constant death had already made Ling Yi's psychology begin to numb, whether the next target was himself or not, Ling Yi knew that this would be his last chance to survive.

"Why did it go to the trouble of moving the corpses away?" Ling Yi pinched his chin and kept thinking, "Could it be that there are some secrets left on these corpses?"

After waiting for a few seconds, Ling Yi looked at the cowardly man and said, "It's not okay to go on like this...... We have to get out ......."

"Get out again!"

The cowardly man obviously couldn't understand Ling Yi's thoughts, the strong man was dying in front of him, and the monster should be squatting outside the door at this time...... At this juncture, he actually wants to go out?

"There's no way around it...... The temperature inside the carriage was still cooling, and the time we spent inside seemed like a split second from the outside...... No matter how long you stay, the lights will still be turned off. ”

Ling Yi hugged his shoulders and explained, "We must go out first and hold on until the lights out time is over before returning here...... In this way, if we come up with a way to escape, we can rush out directly, and it will not be able to do anything to us if it returns to its childly form. ”

Nodding, the cowardly man took a deep breath: "Okay, listen to you!"

Pointing to the door on the other side of the carriage, Ling Yi motioned for the two of them to go out from this side.

"It has always relied on brute force to kill...... Even if it wants to break the rules of the game and start killing us, it will have to go through the seventh carriage to catch us. ”

Ling Yi gave the cowardly man a reassuring pill: "Don't worry, we can just stand at the door...... If there is any emergency, just retract it directly. ”

Losing the scalpel, the cowardly man clenched his fists nervously, and then followed Ling Yi into the sixth carriage.

Within a few seconds, the lights in the carriage were back to normal.

"What the hell are these coffins for?"

The cowardly man looked at the two neat rows of black coffins in the carriage, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Ling Yi silently stared at the black coffin, shook his head, and then turned back to the seventh carriage.

"Big Brother ......"

As soon as they entered the door, Ling Yi and the cowardly man were almost scared out of their bodies!

At this time, the little girl was dragging the body of the strong man and walked towards the two of them step by step!

"We forgot...... She's free to come and go here in her normal form!"

The cowardly man was about to run out in a panic, but was caught by Ling Yiyi.

"Aren't you going to help me?" the little girl looked at Ling Yi with a wicked smile, "You are warm-hearted and kind, can you bear to see me suffer?"

Ling Yi and the weak cowardly man unconsciously gave the little girl the way to the road, and she threw half of the strong man's body directly out of the car door, and then clapped her hands and walked back.

"You've already killed so many people, can't you let the two of us go?"

The cowardly man knelt down with a "poof" and kowtowed to the little girl one after another: "Please, let us go!"

The little girl smiled happily, only to see her bend down slightly, her eyes were red, and she whispered, "That's not good...... The game isn't over yet, and you're still going to die. ”

As soon as the little girl's words came out, Ling Yi was like being struck by lightning, he froze in place stupidly, looked at the little girl, and muttered in a low voice: "Game?"

"That's right, the game!"

The little girl seemed to enjoy Ling Yi's shocked expression, and the smile on her pale face was even more terrifying!

Staring into her eyes, Ling Yi suddenly asked, "For the sake of me dying, can I ask you a question?"

"Uh-huh!"

The little girl nodded triumphantly.

Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you are not an NPC in this game at all, but just like me, you belong to the player, right?"

Slightly stunned, the little girl's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by an unbelievable surprise: "You guess?"

Seeing the little girl's reaction, Ling Yi knew that his speculation was correct.

"Suppose that the real world we live in is actually a game created by high-dimensional beings, and we, as characters in the game, will never be able to think outside the mindset set for us in the game. ”

"We can never think of what the meaning of the world's existence is, why it exists, and we will never say in a categorical way that 'our world is a game'. ”

"If the story of the Train of the Dead is a complete script, then you and I are actually people outside the script...... You can only understand the concept of a script if you know that it is a script. ”

Ling paused and said slowly, "You are also one of the participants in this game, but you have chosen the villain...... Am I right?"
