For a moment, Mr. Z thought he was back in the snow again, because there was a snowstorm in front of him.

The wind howled and whistled, and the withered branches could not bear any snow, and were bare, like the claws of the devil stretching out the earth.

This is not a snowy field, because it is much darker than the snowfield. There was not a single cloud in the lead-gray sky, the sun was nowhere to be seen, and the desolate snow reflected a bleak white light as if it were the surface of the moon.

It's not like the environment on earth!

Soon, Mr. Z's eyes were drawn to the building in front of him. A small, weather-beaten house stood abruptly on a desolate snowy field, and an oil lamp hung on the low eaves of the small house, which was emitting a dim light. The cold wind kept plucking the lamp along the eaves, causing the halo of light cast on the ground to sway back and forth.

It's like a soul lamp.

But Mr. Z did not hesitate, and he walked towards the small house with vigorous steps, the snow on the ground creaking under the feet. I don't know what the content is, but the content must be hidden in this small house, and that's what Mr. Z has in mind at the moment.

As it passed a dead log, a strange bird suddenly sprang out from the top of the most desolate branch, and with a screeching sound, the strange bird quickly disappeared into the lead-gray sky.

It's here. The little dilapidated door of the little house is right in front of you. The "Soul Lamp" was still flickering, casting a dim light on Mr. Z's handsome face from time to time. Just as Mr. Z was about to reach out and knock on the door, the door opened on its own.

Inside the door stood an old lady, as if she had been dug straight out of the grave. The bone-like hand grasped the same withered doorknob, and a pair of eyes filled with stagnant water stared at Mr. Z without blinking, and I don't know if it was because the eyes that had seen the world really lost the ability to blink.

"Hello." Mr. Z was the first to say hello.

There is a strange feeling of being stared at by these eyes, as if being stared at by countless pairs of eyes at the same time. The long table looming inside the door was looking at him, the soul lamp swaying under the eaves outside the door was looking at him, the crumbling handle on the small door was also looking at him, even the endless snowfield, the lead-gray sky covering his head, and the invisible Xiao Suo who could never escape were staring at him, but only these eyes did not look at him!

"Hello." Seeing that the old man did not respond, Mr. Z repeated it again.

At this moment, the old man blinked. No, it can't be said to be a blink, because she is only halfway through the blink. The "two pools of stagnant water" disappeared, and the old man closed his eyes.

Mr. Z instantly felt a lot more relaxed. Because as the old man closed his eyes, all the sight that had been placed on him disappeared at the same time. At this moment, whether it is the long table or the doorknob, whether it is the soul lamp or the snowfield, whether it is the sky or Xiao Suo, he no longer stares at himself.

At this moment, the only thing looking at him turned out to be these closed eyes!

It's really an indescribable weirdness, and Mr. Z, who has always been calm, actually feels a little numb in his scalp.

"You ......"

Just as Mr. Z was about to say hello for the third time, the old man spoke, and it was an unexpected word.

"Do you know you're going to die?"

"What?" Mr. Z was stunned.

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of the old man's lips, "It seems that I know." ”

……

When Agoru finished reading out the results, everyone was stunned.

"All around, all around, all around, what do you mean?" Anxin asked first.

"That is, there is no one around us." "Because this body can't pick up the life impulses coming from around it. ”

"But, but this is only the semi-finals?" An Xin muttered, "Could it be that there is no one on the other isolated islands?" ”

"I can only think so," said Gorilla, "that the result is infallible." ”

"Then," Anxin said in turn, sweeping over the other three islands that swirled around the central arena along with the white islands beneath his feet, "where have all the people gone up here?" ”

"No, they won't all be killed, will they?" Rey said tentatively.

"Probably not." Miki-sensei said, "If it's really like what you say, wouldn't we be the ultimate victors?" ”

"Perhaps," Mika said after a moment's thought, "everyone else has been sent out of the game?" ”

"Sent out the game?" An An looked shocked and asked, "Isn't that still dead?" ”

"Maybe the god was just joking with us?" Mika frowned and muttered to herself, "Even though she has the power to do anything, she doesn't really want to kill?" ”

"Mika, what are you talking about?" Anxin asked.

"Don't bother her!" Miki-sensei grabbed the peace of mind, he knew that his daughter was about to enter the most critical place.

"Death in the game is equivalent to death in reality." Mika muttered, "It's an undeniable phrase, because it's implanted in everyone's minds. But what did the Flame Man say when Binks disappeared? ”

Meiguo looked at the Central Arena and said slowly, "Don't worry, he was just eliminated." It's just eliminated, and the smell of death is completely inaudible from this sentence. True, Binks just disappeared, and no one can be sure that he died. Gone, gone......"

"I see." Mei Guo Huo Ran turned around.

"Look." Miki-sensei smiled, he looked at Anxin and said, "Stopped you, right?" ”

Without waiting for Anxin to ask, Meiguo had already spoken: "We have all overlooked one thing, the eliminated people actually present two completely different states. ”

"Two states?" Rey asked.

"Brother Rey, on this point, in fact, you have the most right to speak." Mika said.

"Me?" Rey froze.

"Think about it." Mika stretched out a finger and nodded her little head, "Only in the round you participate in, the eliminated person takes on another state." ”

Rey began to recall the scene of the second round, and although it was not long ago, it was like a dusty memory.

Rey is a kind person after all, and as scenes of "shattering into slag" flashed through his mind, the corners of Rey's mouth involuntarily trembled a few times.

"How?" Mika asked.

"Death." Rey finally understood, "Only the round I participated in had people who actually died in the game. ”

"That's right." Mika nodded, "The other rounds of eliminated people just disappeared. ”

"Is there a big difference between the two?" Anxin asked.

"Absolutely." Mika exclaimed, "Death in the game is equivalent to death in real life, but in the second round in the game, only Rey's brother participates in the person who has died. In other words, only these people are really dead! ”

"So, what about the others?" Anxin asked.

"They just disappeared." "It's likely that she was safely sent out of the game." ”

"That guy," Anxin said after a moment's thought, "I mean that God, is that merciful?" ”

"Maybe we all misunderstood her." "She's not a murderous god. Although in the second round she killed several people. But those people, those people were the most heinous and deserving people! ”

"Maybe it's all about getting rid of those people." Rey pointed around and said slowly, "That's right, I remembered. At that time, the fly man said something like this: Lan Xiaofang, you have nowhere to escape. Because it's all about catching us wanted criminals in the Birdman Market! ”

"Is it just to get rid of those people that we need to do this? And," Anxin thought for a moment and continued, "Is it interesting to scare us?" Everyone is a good person, even if they are eliminated, they are just sending out the game, and they have to be linked to death, which makes people panic. ”

"If you don't, will you kid give it his all?" Teacher Miki said with a smile, "Maybe you will surrender the gun in the first round, can you still see the good show in the future?" ”

"Even if that's it...... that's all there is to say, because Miki-sensei is right, so much so that he has nothing to say.

"There's one thing that the old man doesn't understand," said Miki-sensei, "why do those so-called social elites, such magicians, artists, scientists, politicians, and entrepreneurs, rush into this game?" ”

"They should have entered voluntarily." "It's as if you can bring the abilities in the game back to reality after breaking the level, and that's what they're here for." ”

"It's too much of an appeal, but what about us?" Miki-sensei continued, "Even if you're right, what are we here for?" We didn't know there was this perk until we got here. ”

"That's just as well." "When I'm in the arena, I feel weird, like I'm from two worlds with those people. ”

"Two worlds?" Mika's eyes widened suddenly, "Brother Rey, what did you just say about two worlds?" ”

"I mean," Rey muttered, "we got into the game for different reasons and for different purposes than everyone else. We weren't even in the same virtual world, at least not at first, just ......"

"Just what?" Mika asked loudly.

"I can't tell." Rey scratched his blonde hair, "It's as if a force suddenly came and forcibly connected the two worlds." ”

Rey knew that his words were messy, and he didn't expect Mika to understand. Because, as he himself said, he couldn't tell.

But as soon as the words fell, Mika spoke.

"I see!" Mika almost shouted.

"I finally understand what the discordant feeling that kept coming up before!" Mika said with a twinkle in her eyes.
