Chapter 2 The Choice of Life and Death
"If you are given a chance, do you want to live or die." Xu Yuan was in darkness, and the cold voice of the machinery sounded in his head, Xu Yuan seemed to be in a dream, but he was extremely awake.
"To live, of course." Subconsciously answering the unknown voice, Xu Yuan fell into darkness again and lost consciousness.
"Brother, wake up, brother!" Xu Yuan felt that he was being shaken vigorously, opened his eyes and shook his mind, his mind was blank, and the place where he saw was a simple thatched hut, and in front of him was his sister Xu Shan, only then Xu Yuan noticed that he and his sister were wearing similar coarse cloth clothes, disheveled, and looked very ragged and embarrassed.
"You're finally awake, how's it going, is there anything wrong with you?" Xu Yuan was stunned for more than ten seconds before he recalled everything that had happened before, until he was called back by Ding Qing's voice and met the concerned gazes of her and Wei Zedong on the side.
"How's it going, remember, we had a car accident." Wei Zedong frowned tightly and looked at Xu Yuan, "You must be very strange, we are all the same, we are here as soon as we wake up, and there are many people who have woken up one after another, and now we are outside, we seem to have appeared in this place for no reason." Wei Zedong pointed to the door of the simple thatched hut, Xu Yuan looked in the direction he pointed, and there were indeed a few figures dressed similarly to his group not far away.
"Brother, we seem to have been kidnapped." Xu Shan's voice was filled with a hint of fear, and she nervously grabbed Xu Yuan's arm. But at this time, Xu Yuan was also confused, if he was kidnapped, but he didn't see any robbers, what was going on?
After Xu Yuan felt that there was no discomfort on his body, he got up from the dusty ground and called Wei Zedong to walk outside the house.
"You two wait here, let's go out and have a look." Xu Yuan turned his head to Xu Shan and Ding Qing and said, he wanted to see a few figures outside the house, hoping to learn something from them.
Looking over from a distance, several of them also noticed the movement here, but they only glanced at Xu Yuan, and one of them shrugged his shoulders to show that he was also uninformed.
At this time, Xu Yuan had the opportunity to observe the scene outside, it was daytime, cloudy and sultry, which made people irritable, surrounded by mountains, it seemed to be a wilderness, and he and the others were in a village, except for a small thatched hut and these dozen or so people, and they couldn't even see a single figure.
"Xu Yuan, before I woke up, I heard a voice asking me whether I chose to live or die." Wei Zedong patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "I have already asked Xiaoqing and your sister, and they have all heard it, and then said that they chose to live and came here when they woke up, so what about you, have you heard it." ”
Xu Yuan frowned, and his puzzled expression was even worse: "I also heard it, could it be that the voice of the robbers, we were abducted to the wilderness?" ”
Without waiting for Wei Zedong to answer, the next voice answered everyone's doubts.
At this time, the cold mechanical voice sounded in everyone's minds again: "Welcome to all those who died unexpectedly chose this opportunity to be reborn, came to the werewolf killing space, and obtained the qualification to become a novice player." ”
Several people looked at each other, obviously not believing the fact that they had died, although the memory of dying was still vivid, but in the face of this situation, it was still difficult for people to accept it easily.
"I'm a system judge, so let's introduce the novice game: This game is a simple mode for novices, with a total of 10 players, including a prophet, a witch, a hunter, four villagers, and three werewolves. Werewolves are in the bad guy camp, and the rest of the identities are in the good guy camp. If the werewolf kills all the good guys or the good guys kill all the werewolves, one side wins. The game adopts a rating point system, in the winning camp, the surviving player gets 50 points, the dead player gets 20 points, and the losing camp gets 50 points. There are 3 rounds in the novice round, which will be settled after 3 rounds, and players with less than 50 points will be wiped out. After 30 minutes, the first round of the novice game will begin, please identify your own room before the game starts, after the night falls, the good guys can't leave the selected room, the werewolf camp can choose to open one of the rooms and kill the players in it, after the game will return to the real world, and then summon the werewolf kill space at least once a week to participate in a novice game, otherwise it will be wiped out. ”
"What are you kidding, what the hell is this, what kind of werewolf killing space, what kind of entertainment trick show is this? Are you all in this group? Don't think you're going to tease me! I'm getting out of here! A man in his twenties suddenly became very irritable, and after shouting all around, he walked angrily to the outside of the village, but when he came to the gate of the village, it was obviously an unobstructed road, but there seemed to be a transparent barrier, blocking his pace and making it difficult for him to leave. Looking around, he found that all the barriers blocked him, and under the eyes of everyone, he angrily came back to everyone and asked, "You guys, what kind of high technology do you use?" Let me out, or sue you for kidnapping!" ”
There were a few people who wanted to persuade him to calm down, but seeing that he looked like thunder, it was not easy to step forward for a while. Seeing that everyone was silent for a while, the man thought that everyone else had acquiesced, and took a few steps forward and grabbed a person's wrist and asked loudly: "I don't care what your intentions are, I won't let you succeed, how did you turn me into this appearance, where are my belongings?" Give it to me! ”
The person who was grabbed by the arm was Ding Qing, and she herself was confused, so how to answer his question, before Ding Qing could open her mouth, the man's arm was grabbed by Wei Zedong, and then the man's face was in pain, and the arm became more and more painful, so that she had to let go of Ding Qing, and looked up at Wei Zedong's eyes with warning.
"You'd better control your emotions, people here should be uninformed, please don't get angry with others." After finishing speaking, he shook off the man, the man took two steps back, and after knowing that a man with a strong figure like Wei Zedong was an existence that he couldn't provoke, he slowly calmed down, but he still kept this account in his heart.
Ding Qing rubbed his caught arm, his thin eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously angry at the man's actions.
There are about 20 minutes left before the start of the game, and gradually everyone is leaving alone, looking for their own houses and preventing others from following them to find their own residence, although there are many doubts in the heart, but what can be done at present is to obey the arrangement of the system judge, after all, the word erasure is smashed into everyone's hearts, so everyone does not dare to slack off, waiting for the arrival of the beginning of the game.
Xu Yuan silently left the crowd and walked to the hut where he woke up first, and at the same time secretly motioned for the other three to come in one after another.
As soon as the door was closed, Xu Yuan and the others began to discuss.
"We're all familiar with werewolf killing, and if what the system judge said is true, it's really a game of life and death." Ding Qing's brows never relaxed, she only felt that her heart was going up and down, and her intuition told her that everything that was going on was real and not a dream, and if it was erased, I am afraid that the living person would really cease to exist.
"Yes, there are 4 of us in total, if we are all in the good guy camp, it's okay to say, if someone is in the werewolf camp, it's the opposite, what should we do then, I'm afraid this is a long-term game, each of us can't avoid it, so we need to support each other in the future, in order to go further, that is, to live longer." Wei Zedong said solemnly, he just wanted to unite the strength of the four people at this time, after all, Xu Yuan and Ding Qing were his friends, but these two people had just known each other for a short time, for fear that the two would turn against each other because of different camps in this life-and-death situation, and that was the situation he didn't want to see.
Xu Shan trembled with fear when he first learned that he had died, and now he realized that he needed to do whatever it took to survive, and Xu Shan, who was only sixteen, understood that he couldn't rely on anyone except his brother with average game skills.
At this time, Xu Yuan raised his hand and grabbed Xu Shan's thin shoulders and said to Ding Qing and Wei Zedong: "The four of us, if any of us are in different camps, the minority will obey the interests of the majority, this is the first game, 50 points will be deducted, and then there will be a chance to earn it back, and if the situation is 2 against 2, I hope that my sister's camp will win." ”
"Why, brother, this kind of life-and-death matter ......" Xu Shan, who was kind-hearted, naturally couldn't agree to Xu Yuan's proposal, which was tantamount to invisibly depriving others of the possibility of survival, so he looked at Xu Yuan with a puzzled and embarrassed expression.
"I agree," Ding Qing took the lead in speaking, and Wei Zedong naturally put his mind at ease, "Because Shan'er, you are the weakest among us, of course I am not blaming you, but this is a fact, so we must try our best to protect you in the first game so that you can get points and live, because the three of us are confident enough to protect ourselves in the next two games, but we can't rest assured of you." ”
Ding Qing naturally guessed what Xu Yuan wanted in his heart, and at the same time felt that this was a very safe way to get Xu Yuan's approval, and in the future, they could indeed support each other in such a cruel game and go further, of course, in Ding Qing's heart, she also liked Xu Shan, a little girl.
"That's it, really, thank you very much!" Xu Yuan bowed to Wei Zedong and Ding Qing, and Xu Shan also bowed with him, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry: "Uncle Wei, Sister Qing, thank you for protecting me so much, I must work hard to become stronger in the future, and I won't hold you back!" ”
"Okay, okay, hurry up, now everyone is a grasshopper tied to a line, and they have been involved in this place, of course, we have to unite and live to the end, and none of us can be left behind." It's just that Wei Zedong himself doesn't know that the meaning of this sentence will become a luxury expectation in the hearts of many people in the future.
"Let's make a code," Xu Yuan said, "If you get a werewolf card for a while, bite your lower lip when you look at each other, remember not to let others find out that we are connected to each other, this system should not allow each other to report and leak the information of teammates, so in the case of not revealing the identities of others, let's induce it by speaking, remember to cover your own people at any time." ”
Ding Qing and Wei Zedong both nodded, but Xu Shan's mind was blank, and he only felt that he had become a real novice in this situation, and the remaining three were all experienced players.
"It's not too early, Shan'er, you stay here, let's go find our own house." Xu Yuan looked up at the weather that was still cloudy just now, and the afterglow of the sunset that had been sprinkled at this time was reflected red, looking into the distance through the invisible barrier, and the smoke curling from the mountain, and the scene of the wild geese not returning, couldn't help but make people's hearts be temporarily relieved.
"Brother......" Just as he was about to step out of the door, Xu Shan stopped Xu Yuan, even though he had a lot of thoughts, he didn't know how to express it.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Xu Shan smiled reassuringly, and the sunset reflected his back in a warm color, as if he was one with the world outside the hut.
"No...... Obviously not......" Long after Xu Yuan left, Xu Shan hid his face and cried.
What she wanted was not this, not that he would protect her, but that he would protect himself. Since childhood, my parents have been busy with work, and I often spend more time with my brother, and when I was a child, I relied on my brother for everything, and when I grew up, I liked to be willful to my brother and do whatever I wanted, and every time my brother came to take care of me, I really lived a happy life. Maybe it was the end of luck that allowed me and my brother to encounter this kind of thing.
Xu Shan was thinking crankily in her heart, and at the same time received a prompt message from the judge, she got a witch card, a good guy camp.
The night came quietly, Xu Shan closed the door, and while worrying about her brother, she shrank in the corner, staring at the movement at the door, and everyone was also worried about it, for fear that her hut would be chosen by those murderous wolves and become a victim of the first night.
