Downtown, 12th Block, Apartment

When the first harsh siren sounded, the black man who was resting against the wall opened his eyes slightly, only to find that the original bright sunlight had disappeared imperceptibly, and the gradually gloomy dark clouds had obscured the sky for some time, leaving a large shadow in the urban area.

He tried to move his body, but in addition to his right hand, he lost sensation in his torso, legs, and left upper limb, and could not move freely.

(It's fine.) ）

(The right hand can still move.) ）

He thought so, but heard a deliberately low footsteps approaching him.

(Someone is coming.) ）

His heart tightened, and the black man silently stretched out his right hand to his lower back and groped for the dagger hidden in his lower back.

The footsteps approached, and he closed his eyes, counting the distance remaining between them.

(5 meters)

(Three meters-)

He held his breath and tightened his grip on the hilt.

(two meters-)

(One meter-)

Suddenly opened his eyes, he resolutely raised the knife in his hand, but saw that it was only a seven-year-old girl, he was stunned, the strength of his right hand changed, the dagger changed direction when it left his palm, brushed the tips of the little girl's hair, and inserted it into the wall beside him.

The little girl screamed, and the white box in her hand fell to the ground in fright.

"Please, please...... Don't, don't kill me......" Her voice was full of tears, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

The black man's gaze swept over the white box that had fallen at her feet, only to find that the white box seemed to be a medical box, and the bandages, gauze, alcohol cotton, and red potion inside fell to the ground, and the little girl shrank next to the medical box, shaking like chaff.

“……”

A little puzzled, a little glad, the black man withdrew his gaze.

Thankfully, not the faces he hated.

(But...... ）

He looked at the sky.

(A second alarm could go off at any moment.) ）

(The person who comes at that time may be some "old friend".) ）

"That's, that'......"

The timid voice of the little girl sounded in her ears, and the black man turned his eyes to her, and met her eyes like a panicked fawn.

“……”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you."

“……”

"I see you have blood on you, so I ......" Ogar glanced at the medical kit that had fallen beside him, "I should have said hello to you, but I saw that you didn't get up just now, and I thought you were resting, so I didn't dare to make too much noise...... Scared you, sorry. ”

“……”

Who scared whom?

The black man looked at the little blonde girl in silence, noticing that her calves were still shaking, and felt a little funny.

“…… No, you don't. The black man's deep voice welled up in his throat, and the mask that wrapped around his entire jaw closed as he spoke.

"But I see you're bleeding a lot, if you don't bandage it soon......"

"That's not my blood." He interrupted rudely.

"Huh?"

(Not his blood...... ）

(Is it someone else's blood?) ）

A wave of fear welled up in Ogar's heart.

（…… Did he kill someone? ）

"Not bad." As if seeing through her thoughts, the black man added calmly, "This bloodstain comes from three people, you guessed it, I am indeed an out-and-out murderer, a man, and a criminal." ”

“……”

The atmosphere was suddenly cold to freezing point.

He stared at her like a lone wolf lurking in the jungle in the dark, and he was stared at by such eyes, and Ogar not only shivered.

"Okay little thing, you can get out." The black man retracted his gaze indifferently and continued to lean against the wall with his eyes closed.

The little girl on the other side lost her voice.

After a while, only a "click" was heard, and the black man opened his eyes, and found that the dagger he had just thrown was placed in his hand, and he raised his head to meet the clear eyes of Ogar.

"I think you need it, you're wary, as if you're scared of something...... "Ogar plucked up the courage to say what he thought, "I hope holding it will make you feel safer." ”

(Scared?) ）

The black man's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were a little sharp.

It was the first time someone had said he was afraid of something.

The word sounds so harsh.

He doesn't like it when anyone uses that word to describe himself.

“…… I wasn't afraid. He paused for a moment, with a strong hostility in his tone, "Little thing, you'd better get out of the way before I lose my patience, or I'll kill you right away, and do what I say." ”

"I'm not leaving." Ogar plucked up his courage.

“……”

Ogar looked the black man in the eye: "I don't know why you want to kill, but you are so vigilant, you may be hiding from the enemy, but I think you are in trouble, I should do something for you." Release, call the police, call for help, etc., although there is not much I can do, but I will do my best. ”

“…… Didn't anyone teach you not to be nosy. ”

"It doesn't seem to be. But I was taught to do my part to help people in need. The little girl was conclusive.

Hearing this, the black man's brow furrowed.

“…… The fool who told you this must have been killed by himself. ”

Ogar blinked, she hadn't thought about it.

"The person who told me this? I forgot who it was...... It's weird, I always feel like I've forgotten a lot of things, but I can't say what they are......"

The black man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept over Ogar several times, as if to see through her hidden secrets.

After a while, he asked in a low voice—

“…… Little thing, what do you call it. ”

"Ogar."

"Last name."

"Huh? This ......"

Never thought about this question, Ogar was stunned for a long time, his head suddenly went blank, he opened his mouth, and he didn't hold back a word with a red face.

“…… It turns out that you are a new player. The black man muttered in a low voice as if he were talking to himself, "But how many sins can a little girl who is only six or seven years old commit?" ”

(However, it's not easy to jump to conclusions.) ）

(After all, there's another little girl in this game who is almost terrifying.) ）

Thinking so, the black man looked at Ogar and unconsciously became a little more guarded.

The little girl in front of her is not tall, she looks only 120 cm, with a white whistle hanging on her chest, tied with two double ponytails, her light braids sway gently with her movements, and her soft golden hair is like the warm sun that once fell on him. At first glance, she looks no different from the little girls on the street who only clamo for her mother to buy candy, and judging from the previous conversation, she really doesn't look like a murderer.

(But why would such a person be sent to the [Minghe System]...... ）

The black man was bewildered for a moment.

"What about you?" Ogar looked at the silent black man and asked curiously, "What's your name?" ”

"I don't have a name, just a code name."

"Codename?"

"Just like your code name is [Ogar], I also have my own code name."

"Your code name?"

Ogar blinked in bewilderment.

The black man opened his mouth and was about to answer, but at this moment, a woman's charming voice came from behind Ogar, and instead of answering the question-

"His name is Black Blade, cutie."

The two of them followed the voice, and saw a woman standing at the entrance of the alley. Dressed in a low-cut narrow skirt, the brown apron slightly obscured the lines of her body, with her right hand behind her back, the corners of the woman's mouth with a hint of curvature, staring at the black man and the blonde girl with a little excitement, as if she had seen a leopard of its prey.

(Still coming.) ）

Seeing this, a little cold light appeared in the black blade's eyes.

"[Beauty], it's you."

"I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to hide here." The proprietress of the cake shop, codenamed [Beauty], walked over unhurriedly, and her eyes fell on Ojiaer, "I didn't expect that the little cutie was also here, and what I didn't expect was that she was also a gamer." It's so pitiful, she's still so young, she has to ...... Die here. ”

(Dead here?) ）

Not understanding the conversation between the two, Ogar looked at the black blade behind him, and then at the beauty, a little at a loss.

The black blade pursed his lower lip, grimacing his face and clenching the dagger in his hand in vigilance.

"Oops, hey, Black Blade, even if it's you, do you still have the strength to use a knife now?"

"You can try. Anyway, the pistol behind your back should be loaded. "The Black Blade is like a wolf ready to attack.

The beauty smiled charmingly and raised the gun in her hand.

The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the black blade.

"You can try it too...... It's a pity that none of us can kill anyone until the second alarm sounds. But, I can torture you slowly, can't I. ”

"Coincidentally, that's what I thought."

Downtown hospitals

Colin stood by the window, looking at the mess of the street, smoke billowing from the street a few blocks away, and a violent explosion had just been heard, which seemed to be in the direction of the police station.

Originally, he didn't believe in what Icarus said about the [Minghe System] and the [Three Laws], but then the actual sound of the sirens and the chaotic streets confirmed the other party's point of view, telling him that all this was not an illusion, it was true.

"Something terrible seems to be happening out there."

Behind him, Icarus's steady voice was heard, and Colin looked back at a pair of sharp golden eyes.

"As you say...... That female nurse codenamed "Duke" just now is actually here to kill you? ”

"Not bad." Icarus leaned lazily, "You'll protect me, right, Officer Colin." ”

"I ......," Colin was momentarily speechless.

"Come on, glasses boy, I need you to push the wheelchair by the window, that woman will come back at any time, but I can only move my upper body now, according to your body shape and personality, your combat power is only one-third of that of a normal adult male, and you are not her opponent at all, so we have to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible."

It makes sense, he was speechless for a while.

Colin sighed, pushed the wheelchair by the window, and he bent over, holding Icarus's arm, and with some effort transferred him to the wheelchair.

"What do you want me to do?"

"This is a hospital, there must be elevators that can accommodate wheelchairs at both ends of the corridor, now, cover me to the elevator room, and go to the first floor first." His tone was steadfast, as if a commander was giving an order that could not be ignored.

"Zizi-"

Before Icarus could finish speaking, there was a shrill electric sound from the TV next to him.

No one turned on the TV, but the TV turned on on itself.

Both of them looked at the TV at the same time, one with "Did anyone tell me what the hell this is" and the other with "Oh, that's expected".

After the cacophony of electricity, a man dressed in black and wearing a black top hat appeared on the TV screen, his dress was clearly in the style of the Middle Ages, and his clothes were also in the style of foggy London, and the hat had a white feather stuck in it, and the wide brim of the hat covered the middle of the bridge of his nose, covering most of his face, revealing only his thin chin.

At the same time, the signal relay system was also activated throughout the city, and all televisions, computers, mobile phones, and car broadcasts broadcast this picture simultaneously, including, naturally, Arthur's ambulance, Lorraine's police car, the one-eyed black car, the street corner radio in the apartment area, and Icarus's hospital room.

……

"Zizi-" The screen froze for a moment, and in the next second, the TV screen returned to black.

There was an awkward silence in the hospital room.

Icarus, who was in a wheelchair, looked at Colin, who was standing in a daze. Icarus was silent, waiting for his question.

"Who is he?"

"Judge." Icaros paused and patiently added, "As we all know, for a game to start smoothly, it is not enough for the player to start, but also to have the rules of the game, and a person who enforces the rules, and his task is to read the rules of the game and clean up the players who break the rules. ”

Before he could finish speaking, someone pushed the door in, and it happened that it was a female nurse codenamed [Duke], perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her a gamer or a female killer at this moment.

"The game has already begun." The duke leaned against the door frame, looked at Icarus in a wheelchair, and smiled faintly, "What, are you going to escape?" ”

"Where's Dr. Tom?" Icarus's gaze swept over the blood on the corner of her skirt, but he had an answer in his heart.

"It's dead, a knife to death, it's a pity that this skirt is dirty, to be honest, I like it a lot."

"Yes, I like it too." Icarus added.

The Duke gave him a blank look, turned and closed the door to the ward.

"Canary...... Are you going to kill me? Icarus leaned back in his wheelchair and asked lightly.

He seemed to be saying something that didn't concern him, but Colin, who was standing behind the wheelchair, was highly nervous, for fear that the female nurse would throw a throwing knife or shoot him in the next moment, after all, the current situation was not guilty.

"I want to kill you, isn't that an obvious conclusion." The female nurse lazily walked to the side of the cart, she glanced at the blonde man, and saw that the other party's handsome face did not have a panicked look, such a composure made her unhappy, "You are my prey, I will cut your throat and let you die a little bit." ”

She picked up the blade on the cart and rubbed it lightly on the back of her hand.

"Nice way to die, but it's just a little familiar, like ...... The last round I killed you like that? Icarus raised an eyebrow.

“…… It's good that you remember. Her tone was a little colder.

"Of course, Canary, I always remember things about you."

"I'm not called a canary." She corrected coldly, "My code name is [Duke]. ”

[In the next second, outside the window, a second alarm sounded-]

[Warning: The killing game of players has officially begun.] 】
