Picheng.

Xu Beiwen stood on the balcony and looked at the high-rise buildings in the city below the mountain.

"Got something on your mind?"

Fang Nian walked out of the living room behind him.

This is Fang Nian's villa, after helping to dispose of Meng Feizhou's body, Xu Biewen was invited to Fang Nian's house.

Hearing Fang Nian's voice at this moment, Xu Beiwen didn't look back, still looking at the city below the mountain: "You say...... Why did the train put us back into the real world this time? ”

Fang Nian handed Xu Beiwen a cup of coffee and leaned on the balcony.

"You think it's the real world?"

He stared blankly at the city below.

"Isn't it?"

Xu Beiwen held the coffee, a little puzzled.

"Remember the date we got on the bus?" Fang asked in a young voice.

"December 9, 2025." Xu Beiwen said without the slightest hesitation, "That afternoon, I heard the sound of the train in the underground garage, and then called to inform you, and then ......"

"What day did we go back to when we got off the bus this time?" Fang Nian asked again.

Xu Beiwen seemed to have thought of something, and he said with some disbelief: "2026...... August 27th. ”

Fang Nian took a sip of coffee and looked sideways at Xu Beiwen: "To be exact, it's 1:05 pm on August 27, 2026." ”

"This is the time for Duan Xu, Bai Feiyu, and Wang Yuli to get on the car."

Fang Nian's voice was a little complicated.

Xu Beiwen shook his head in disbelief and muttered, "Why is this happening? Why is it the starting point to return to reality when they get on the bus...... Is it because they are the latest people to get on the bus? ”

"It's possible." Fang Nian smiled and looked at the bustling city below the mountain.

"But...... There is another possibility. ”

"What is it?" Xu Beiwen's subconscious was telling him that Fang Nian's next sentence might break his worldview, but he still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart.

Fang Nian closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, and said, "Their time is the effective time of the real flow, and ours ...... is false, solidified, useless time with a long definite ending. ”

"Impossible!" Xu Beiwen immediately shook his head, but the hand holding the coffee cup subconsciously forced, "If it's really what you said, then we, the train, and even the world, aren't they just a game?" We are all NPCs, only Duan Xu, Bai Feiyu and the dead Wang Yuli are players? ”

"It can be understood that way." Fang Nian didn't even deny Xu Beiwen's analogy, but said with interest, "You, me, the train, and the world, although they all exist, and time is flowing, but these are relative to you and me, for NPCs, the game world is the real world, and you and I can't detect the abnormality." For players, the logic and ending of a game have already been finalized, and it doesn't make sense whether the game's background setting is ten, twenty, a hundred, or ten thousand years, because the real flow of time is calculated from the moment the player enters the game, do you think...... Doesn't that look like where we are now? ”

Xu Beiwen was dumbfounded by what he said, but immediately after, Fang Nian continued: "And...... I found a very interesting thing, some people get in the car, and then they are erased by the so-called real world in front of them, and some people ...... Why is that still in the framework of the real world? ”

Xu Beiwen remembered something, and he replied: "Regarding this matter, I have heard that if you die in the train world, you will be completely erased by the real world, right?" ”

"This rule does exist, but ...... Some people, even if they don't die in the train world, are erased from the real world. Fang Nian said something that Xu Beiwen didn't expect.

"Won't it?" Xu Beiwen looked at Fang Nian in a daze, and he suddenly realized that he didn't know Fang Nian as well as he imagined.

"Of course, for example...... Meng Feizhou. Fang Nian's voice gradually lowered.

"After returning to the real world, the first thing I did was to check everyone's real identity."

Xu Beiwen suddenly felt a little chill in his back.

He knew that Fang Nian was telling the truth, with his family's background, as long as the names and appearances of the people on the train were remembered by Fang Nian, it would not be difficult for him to find out the real identity.

"Something interesting happened, in addition to the dead passengers in the train world, there are several people who have been erased from the real world, including Meng Feizhou." Fang Nian seemed to be talking about it, and he didn't notice that Xu Beiwen's expression was getting stranger and stranger at all.

"I'm thinking...... Could it be because we're natives of this world, and they're players who come in as some identity? Merely...... They don't have any relevant memories.,After getting in the car.,It means that their game begins.,The identity used to play it naturally doesn't matter.,Don't you think it's scary? Fang Nian looked up at the sky, his gaze seemed to pierce the sky, looking somewhere unknown, "I can always feel that there are a pair of eyes staring at us all the time. ”

"So...... Is this the reason why you killed Meng Feizhou? Xu Beiwen suddenly spoke.

Fang Nian didn't react at all, and after a long while, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Xu Beiwen: "I really can't hide it from you." ”

"But...... Can you tell me how you noticed it? Fang Nian asked curiously.

Xu Beiwen looked down at Fang Nian's hand, and suddenly smiled: "You have had a habit since you were a child. ”

Fang Nian also looked at his hand and asked, "Oh? ”

"When you're lying, or trying to cover up something, your thumb is always subconsciously hidden in the palm of your hand." Xu Beiwen slowly raised his head and looked into Fang Nian's eyes, "Before you woke up from your dream, until we confirmed that Meng Feizhou was dead, your thumb was always in that state. ”

"Actually...... You've woken up a long time ago. ”

Xu Beiwen looked at him with complicated eyes.

Fang Nian looked at his hands in a daze.

Until then, he had always considered himself perfect.

I didn't expect ......

Fang Nian smiled helplessly.

He turned his back, leaned against the railing of the balcony, looked up to the sky, and said, "There are three reasons to kill him, two of them are dispensable, and one is ...... It's inevitable. ”

"Can you tell me?" Xu Beiwen asked.

"Of course." Fang Nian squinted, it seemed that the sunlight was too dazzling, and he didn't seem to care.

"My consciousness is directing me to find a knot, a ...... A knot depicting some strange pattern, Meng Feizhou's knot has always been mysterious and powerful, so I wanted to see if it was in his hand. Speaking of this, Fang Nian shrugged his shoulders, "It's a pity, his ghost tooth is not that knot." ”

"The second reason, as I just said, Meng Feizhou is very strange, obviously he did not die in the train world, but he was erased by the real world, he must have something different from us, I want to know...... If he did die, what would happen to the real world. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be a big deal. ”

The chill in Xu Beiwen's heart became stronger and stronger, Fang Nian didn't seem to intend to hide anything from him at all, but it was this attitude that made Xu Beiwen shake a little.

And at this time, Fang Nian said the third reason, the ...... in his mouth The reason why Meng Feizhou must be killed.

"The third ...... Do you remember those bloody words when you were on the train? Fang Nian's voice became more serious.

Xu Beiwen nodded subconsciously: "Remember, there are our names, and the names of the tasks." ”

Fang Nian shook his head, and an undisguised look of jealousy appeared on his face: "In addition to those, I also saw other things, in my eyes, my name was not blood red, but black, and...... Another line of black text appeared on the wall, telling me that I was ...... Untie. ”

"Solution?!" Xu Beiwen didn't expect that when the train released the mission at that time, there was still hidden information, "What is the solution?" ”

"I don't know," Fang Nian took a sip of coffee, "but those words tell me that my mission is different from that of the same group of passengers, not to survive for three days, but to kill everyone, or...... Kill at least one person. ”

Fang Nian said in a low voice: "During the three days in the mental hospital, I can sense the specific location of the ghost, relatively speaking, I am very safe, but if I can't kill a person according to the minimum requirements, I myself will be wiped out." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Nian smiled: "It just so happened that the doubts on Meng Feizhou had already interested me, so I chose him." ”

Xu Beiwen looked at Fang Nian in disbelief: "This is ...... It's true? ”

Fang Nian didn't answer this sentence, in fact, with Xu Beiwen's understanding of Fang Nian, he could also see that Fang Nian was not lying, on the contrary, Fang Nian was extremely honest today.

But......

Different from the "solution" of ordinary passengers, this is simply a time bomb buried in human beings!

Fang Nian seemed to sense what Xu Beiwen was thinking, he took the coffee cup and slowly walked into the living room: "I want to ...... In the other two groups, there is also a person with the same identity as me, who was selected as a 'solution', but I don't know if they will choose to kill only one or all of them...... What about the rewards? ”

"Reward?" Xu Beiwen looked at Fang Nian's back in surprise.

Fang Nian stopped, turned around, and looked at Xu Biewen meaningfully: "The reward for killing everyone is quite generous, but unfortunately, with you, I can't kill all of them, so I just kill one." ”

Xu Beiwen's heart trembled, Fang Nian's words ...... Although it seems to emphasize his importance.

But...... Xu Beiwen suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the thoughts that terrified him.

Would you like to inform those two groups?

Xu Beiwen just had this idea, but at this moment, Fang Nian's voice suddenly came:

"You...... Don't be overly eventful. ”

……

Xiaojia Town, villa.

Shu Wen'an suddenly smiled in the face of the powerful Qin Nianbing and Bai Feiyu.

He gently hugged Zhongqiu into his arms and looked at Meng Yue: "Except for me, there is no other sex here, that is to say...... You can die. ”

His voice was very soft, but the words he spoke made Qin Nianbing, Bai Feiyu, and Meng Yue feel a chill in their hearts.

They finally realized that Shu Wen'an didn't mean to deliberately murder Wu Shenxing at all, his goal was ...... All of them from the start!

Shu Wen'an hugged Zhongqiu, and then turned his head to look at Bai Feiyu: "Miss Bai, I don't have anything to explain, because...... My position is very different from yours. ”

He looked down at Zhongqiu, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "I'm Xie ...... I have hope only if you all die......"

Without speaking, he raised his head and looked at Bai Feiyu and the three of them calmly:

"So, please all die."
