Mirror Connection, Mirror Tail, Lamb Group

The second alarm sounded over the entire city, like a second countdown to death, pricking everyone's eardrums.

Rewind time.

The world re-reads.

All players healed their injuries and returned to where they were in the game, where they were to be, like pawns at the mercy of others.

Everything is just to serve the rules of the game.

The beauty suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.

Panting slightly, her chest heaving a little, her messy hair falling down her cheeks, she looked around and found herself back in her second-floor room at 92 Lexington Avenue where she had started.

[Judge] was right, not only had the wounds on her body healed, but even her hair, which had been wet from being pressed into the lake by the black blade, dried up in an instant.

It is only at this time that she will realize that this is different from the real world, maybe all the changes can be achieved through the change of code, going back in time, it is as simple as pressing the button set by a certain game, all games may be read and repeated, but the time and space in the real world are always one-way driving with one arrow. Those who missed, those mistakes that were made, once they became a thing of the past, are hard to change.

Maybe...... Can this also be regarded as a benefit of the [Minghe System]?

The sunlight shone into the room through the light-colored window lattice, fell on the windowsill, and also warmed her bed, and she raised her hand to block out a bit of dazzling light, as if a person who had lived in the dark for a long time suddenly saw the bright sunlight and repulsed.

She hated everything shiny.

As if to sarcastically say that she will remain in the darkness forever.

The beauty lowered her head, she saw that she was wearing a slender red rope around her wrist, the red rope loomed, only when she noticed it seemed to be able to feel her vision from transparent to visible, and the other end of the red rope spread upwards, penetrating the ceiling version, through the sky of the world on the opposite side of the mirror, it seemed to extend to the world on the other side of the mirror, and at the end of the red line that spread, it should be her mirror connection partner - the Duke.

She sounded the rules of the game she had heard before, realizing that she was in a world on the opposite side of the mirror.

She is a member of the Lamb group, in which five butchers will hunt down her, the Lamb, and the five of them have only one goal, to kill her and become the new Lamb.

Only in this way can the partner on the other end of the mirror become a butcher, so that others can be surprised.

Two people connected by a red thread share life.

She remembered her mission.

Try to avoid the butchers until the Duke on the other side of the mirror slaughters all the lambs.

Now is not the time to let your guard down.

They became the target of other players in the first place.

They have the advantage that the Duke is the only butcher at the beginning, and the disadvantage that her beauty has to evade five felons.

It can be said that the two worlds of the mirror are opposite.

The disadvantage in the world on the opposite side of the mirror, in the world on the front side of the mirror, is the advantage.

This also responds to the concept of mirror reflection.

It is worthy of the [Minghe system].

Thinking so, the sound of a noisy electric current came from the beauty's headset, and then, she heard the duke's voice coming from the other end—

"Beauty, it's me, Duke."

The sound transmitted by the headset is very stable, and previously all players could not talk to each other through the headset, but the special setting of this game allows two players to connect to each other to talk through the button to turn on the headset.

The engineers of [Minghe System] have done every detail for them.

Everyone, it seems, is looking forward to this game.

The beauty frowned and lifted the quilt and got out of bed barefoot: "I heard it." ”

As she spoke, she casually put on her coat and walked out of the room and down the stairs to the first floor.

Sure enough, the floor on the first floor was frozen with blood droplets, and the body was still lying in the study.

"Beauty, you immediately find a weapon to defend yourself and hide." On the other end of the headset, the duke's voice was heard.

The beauty snorted coldly: "The two of us entered the game in the same round, and my ranking is above you, so I don't need you to teach me." ”

The beauty said as she walked to the kitchen and pulled out a knife from the cupboard.

The blade was sharp, and she looked at the blade that shone with cold light, and there was deep meaning in her eyes.

She has no right to attack.

There is only the right to defend and the right to escape.

This is not an easy war to win.

"Beauty, you have to be careful, now we are tied by the same rope, if you die, I will be eliminated." The Duke's voice was a little wary.

"You're just lucky, you were handcuffed one step later than me, and you became a member of the butcher group, otherwise you would be the one who is being hunted down now." The beauty said unconvinced.

The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it.

If you had held on for a few more seconds and not been handcuffed by the black blade, it would have been a completely different situation.

But in the face of such a terrible person as Black Blade, her persistence has also reached the bottom line.

After all, how long can a person who has been drowned in water again and again not give in?

The beauty remembered the cold water of the lake and the pain of being held down by the black blade, and her heart sank.

Just then, she heard someone knock on the front door—

"Knock knock."

Someone's coming.

Her heart tightened, she didn't dare to pay attention to the knock on the door, held the knife, and crept to the study.

"Duke, you'd better slaughter more lambs, you damn you, or you'll be sorry for me." The beauty muttered, pushed open the documents on the desk, and sure enough, she saw a key, picked up the key, she opened the drawer of the desk, and saw a gun in the drawer.

She guessed that a rich man like the deceased usually had a gun hidden in his study to prevent him from being killed by others when he disagreed while negotiating business.

For a moment, the beauty suddenly wondered if this person was also thinking about escaping to the study to find his pistol before he was killed?

Unfortunately, before he could open the drawer, he was shot.

Death is often only a matter of moments.

"Knock knock."

There was another knock on the door, this time, a little more urgent than the previous one.

The beauty stood up and pushed open the window of the study.

"Knock-"

The knock on the door was a little impatient.

The person who knocked on the door was not a stranger, but an old friend, Icarus, and behind him, stood Lorraine, also in a police uniform.

"Knock-"

Icarus, who was outside the door, saw that no one had opened the door, and guessed that the beauty was planning to escape.

They enter House 92 from the very beginning of the game as detectives and wake up for the second time, and they are also the closest to the location of the beauty and the butcher who is most likely to find the lamb.

He put away his gun and slammed the door open!

As soon as he entered the house at 92 Lexington Avenue, he felt a slight coolness of the oncoming wind, which had not existed before, and he looked up vigilantly to see the window of the study open.

"Did you let her run away?"

Lorraine followed Icarus and followed him into House 92.

She also saw the open window of the study.

Lorraine trotted to the study, she walked around the blood on the ground, bypassed the corpse, and watched as the window of the study was pushed open, and the curtains covered half of the window, which was being gently blown by the wind.

"Dah."

Suddenly, there was a strange noise from the second floor, and Icarus was instantly alert.

"No, the window is just a trick," Icarus pulled out his gun and ran towards ......the second floor, "Beauty is on the second floor!" ”

Icarus ran up to the second floor, turned the corner of the stairs, and saw three rooms on the second floor.

Of the three doors, only one was ajar, the furthest room from the corner of the stairs.

But Icarus did not rush into the half-hidden door, but seriously remembered from which direction he heard the sound when he was on the first floor.

It seems to be ...... The first room around the corner?

So, will it be in the third room, or in the first room?

Icarus pondered for a moment, his shoes lightly stepping on the cold wooden floor, his gun in both hands, he bent his knees slightly, step by step, towards his goal.

Gently holding the handle of the door, he first held his breath and listened carefully for a while, through the door panel, he did not hear any other sound in the room, and then, he gently turned the doorknob and pushed open the door of the second room!

"Click." The moment the door was pushed open, Icarus raised it in a well-trained manner, and when he broke into the room, he met the slightly surprised eyes of the beautiful woman sitting on the windowsill.

"Heh, it seems that the three tricks have not been able to hide from you."

The beauty narrowed her eyes and smiled charmingly.

"You're doing it too obviously." Icarus held his gun and stood by the door frame, "First of all, if you really escaped from the door of the study on the first floor, then it is impossible to half-cover the curtains in front of the window, which is not conducive to you jumping out of the window. Secondly, you deliberately leave the door of the third room ajar, but everyone knows that if you want to delay time, you must close the door tightly to buy you enough time. Also, just in case, you made a noise in the first room, and you probably threw some small object on the floor in order to lead me to the first room. Actually, you're in the second room. ”

The beauty raised her eyebrows and slowly brushed her hair behind her ears: "It's worthy of Icarus, nothing can escape your eyes." ”

As soon as the beauty finished speaking, Lorraine also appeared behind Icarus.

She was like an inexperienced auxiliary police officer, one step behind in everything.

Icarus took a step forward.

"But most importantly, before knocking on the door, I carefully checked house 92, there is only one room with a big tree in front of the window, this is the best way for you to escape." Icarus added, "The room facing the big tree is the second room. ”

The beauty shrugged: "In that case, why don't you shoot?" ”

Icarus did not answer.

The beauty continued, "Kill me, and you will make your partner a butcher on the other side of the mirror, and you will be one step closer to victory." ”

“……”

"What's even stranger is, why are you knocking on the door? Startling the snake, Icarus, you can't fail to think of this. The beauty squinted at Icarus, as if trying to find the answer in those sharp golden eyes.

She knew that Icarus was not an impulsive person.

He is scheming, and every action has its own purpose.

Ordinary people may not be able to see through him.

"I'll kill you, but not now." Icarus spoke coldly, a little less gentlemanly, as if such ruthlessness was what he was.

"Oh, I see, it must be because the girl with the short silver hair is here." The beauty sneered, "Once you really succeed in killing me, you will be the next lamb, and it will be easy for Lorraine to kill a person who can't resist." ”

Lorraine, who had been watching from the "......" all the time, was suddenly cueed, and she looked at Icarus with wide eyes, and then at the beauty.

That's when the young girl discovered that there was a fatal flaw in the game - two butchers and lambs could not be present at the same time.

Because once one of the butchers kills a lamb, that butcher will become a new lamb.

And the butcher who is watching will become the new victor.

This is the best concrete manifestation of the competition between the sandpiper and the clam and the profit of the fisherman.

Two butchers hunt down the lamb at the same time, but they can save the lamb's life.

That's why the lamb was hunted down by five butchers in time and still survived.

It was also why Icarus didn't bang directly on the door at first, but knocked on the door first, thus buying time for the beauty to escape.

Because he has long seen the loopholes in the game!

He knew that as long as Lorraine was present, he couldn't kill the beauty!

Rather than that, it's better to let her go, and then split up and kill her.

After that, he ran to the second floor one step ahead of her, also trying to kill the beauty on the second floor, and then escaped from the room on the second floor through the big tree outside the window.

He had already designed an escape route for himself before he dared to attack the beauty.

It's just that he underestimated Lorraine's speed and beauty's tricks, he may have just wanted to kill the beauty immediately at first, but he didn't expect that it took a few seconds longer than he expected to find the beauty, and Lorraine also took advantage of these seconds to follow closely to the second floor.

Now that there are two butchers and one lamb, Icarus can't do it.

This man.

It's horrible.

Lorraine subconsciously glanced at Icarus and noticed that he had also glanced at her.

“…… Do you want to shoot a beauty? Icarus asked Lorraine.

"No!" Lorraine replied hurriedly.

She's not stupid either.

I don't want Icarus to be a fisherman.

"Okay guys, since you haven't decided who shoots yet, why don't you discuss it slowly, and then tell me after you have discussed it." The beauty smiled slightly, leaned back, and climbed out of the window.

"Oops!" When Icarus and Lorraine chased after the window, they saw the old tree swaying its branches and leaves, and the beauty jumped off the branch with agility and climbed the trunk to the ground.

She also raised her hand to give Icarus and Lorraine a farewell kiss, played with the gun in her hand, walked to the police car in a graceful manner, opened the door, and got into the police car.

No one started the engine, adjusted the rearview mirror, stepped on the accelerator, the police car rushed forward, she hit the steering wheel all the way, and the police car made a sharp U-turn and went in the opposite direction.

She turned on the police car's wireless receiver, tuned in to the music program, and turned up the volume, filling up the gas pedal to the rhythm of the music.

Now other butchers are also coming towards the house at 92 Lexington Avenue.

She just didn't go in the same direction as before, but left in the opposite direction.

How long will this first lamb live?

We'll see.
