Chapter 1: The Beginning of Death
My name is Tang Jun, 22 years old, a sophomore, from a poor family, in this materialistic era, there is always a faint inferiority complex hidden in the corner of my heart.
Not long ago, the life that had been peaceful gradually left me, and the shadow of death was with me at any time; After that inexplicable night, I became a stranger to myself.
It started a month ago, it was an ordinary night, my favorite game is the most popular League of Legends right now, although the technology is not very good, but it can't stop the hot heart in my heart.
The room I stayed in was a one-bedroom apartment not far from the university. Recently, under my relentless pursuit and stubborn fighting, my sister's heart seems to have finally shown a hint of loosening, and for the sake of sexual happiness in the future, I made preparations early and rented this house; Of course, Durex is also indispensable.
That day, I came back from a drink with a group of teases in the dormitory, and I suddenly wanted to masturbate on a whim before going to bed, and that game turned out to be the beginning of my nightmare.
Tang Jun looked around, dead silence, obscure, without a trace of life, everywhere there were ruins, scorched trees and earth, collapsed tall buildings, just like the movie After the world war, the world left by the destruction of mankind, a world that has lost its spirituality, is slowly moving towards death, and a chill quietly spreads in his heart.
"Where is this, and why am I here?" But my mind couldn't help but flash the moment when I almost smashed the keyboard at the end of the League of Legends game just now, and I was depressed because of failure, a row of red letters flashed on the screen, do you want to continue playing!
This row of red letters made Tang Jun's heart ache, he couldn't be more familiar with the game, he had never seen such a dialog box come out at the end of the game, could it be that it just came out after the update? Thinking in his heart, his fingers clicked uncontrollably on the "yes", and then he felt that his eyes were dark, and when he regained consciousness, he appeared in this strange environment.
After half a ring, Tang Jun slapped his face self-deprecatingly, "I'll go, it looks like I'm really masturbating, I'm physically and mentally exhausted, I didn't notice when I fell asleep, I saw that this dream was too real, and it hurt so much to slap my face." ”
Touching his face that was a little painful, Tang Jun swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat, which was a little dry, and suddenly a feeling that made his cold hair stand on end came from not far from the right side.
The stiff neck turned his head to look in the direction where the cold came from, and he felt that his legs were weak, and he sat down without a butt, and kept silently thinking in his heart, "Dreaming, this is dreaming, it must be." ”
A pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "Player Tang Jun, twenty-two years old, the spirit test meets the standards, an unknown creature has been found, and the equipment has been put into the package, and the operation guide is now uploaded, I wish you a happy game." ”
When Tang Jun was still thinking about what this situation was, a tingling pain came from his brain, and he felt that there was something more in his memory, but he didn't have time to understand what it was.
Because not far away, a gray-brown giant wolf stood there, about the same height as an adult Tibetan mastiff, with a murderous and bloodthirsty light in his eyes, grinning teeth, and the cold light of his sharp teeth flickering, which made people shudder.
In Tang Jun's daze for a few breaths, more than 20 meters away, the giant wolf pounced in front of him in the blink of an eye, opened his bloody mouth and bit him, Tang Jun screamed "ah", turned around and ran, with a "tear" sound, Tang Jun felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, and a chill came from his crotch.
His inferior pants saved his life, and at the moment when even his underwear was torn and bitten off by the giant wolf, his pants shredded into strips of cloth, and two deep blood grooves were left on his buttocks by canine teeth, and the blood was wild, and he lost more than a pound and two pieces of flesh, and his body was also thrown out, and he didn't care about the pain to get up and run again, but he didn't run a few steps and plopped on the ground.
The giant wolf behind was stimulated by the blood, threw the rags aside with a swing of his head, and roared excitedly into the sky twice, Tang Jun, who had been frightened in his brain, couldn't even feel the pain, he felt that his lower body was hot, and the feeling of wetness came.
Yes, he was scared to pee, and what was even more tragic was that a stone tripped him to the ground, and the giant wolf stopped and slowly circled around him with a cat-and-mouse look, only to soon realize that the mouse was not fun at all.
If it's not fun, then eat it, as if feeling the thoughts of the giant wolf, Tang Qing wanted to get up and run, but he felt that his limbs were soft and had no strength, tears and snot were coming out uncontrollably, and he wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound in his throat.
Looking at the approaching slowly, he could smell the bad breath emanating from the mouth of the giant wolf, the desire for life, and the will to survive burst out in his heart, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die.
He was on the verge of collapse, and at the moment when the giant wolf opened his mouth to bite his neck, a cold light appeared in his hand, facing the big mouth of the giant wolf, penetrating from the back of the head, a fatal blow, and the giant wolf didn't understand what happened until Tang Jun died.
The inertia of the bite pressed Tang Jun under the corpse of the giant wolf, and I don't know how long later, Tang Jun crawled out from under the corpse of the giant wolf covered in blood.
Dumbfounded, he collapsed on the rubble pile on the side, the pain in his buttocks was numb, and when the soul began to recover little by little, the extra memory in his mind came out.
"Dead or alive, it's just in your thoughts, if you want to live, then try to make yourself strong, this is the world of bloody killing, are you ready to die! Welcome to the Game of Death,"
Tang Jun's godless eyes, revealing a trace of morbid excitement, stood up and shouted wildly towards the corpse of the giant wolf, "Is it a real game set up by aliens?" Hahahaha, I'm not scared at all, I really like it, I've never been so excited when I'm so big, ahhahahahaha, I'll fuck you spicy next door. ”
The trembling legs and hands betrayed the true feeling in his heart, Tang Jun's heart was so frightened, at this moment he found that he was so cowardly, and then that pleasant voice sounded in his mind again, "If the corpse of the creature after death is not obtained in time, it may be plundered by other creatures." ”
"Player Tang Jun, do you charge unknown creatures?"
Tang Jun's voice trembled a little nervously, and he didn't hear what he said, "Who are you, why did you arrest me here, send me back quickly." ”
"Kill an unknown creature, reward 150 experience points, if you want to return to the real world, you need to consume 100 experience points, whether to deduct 100 experience points to return to the real world and consume 20 experience points to restore injuries and repair equipment."
As soon as he heard that he could go back, Tang Jun didn't think about it, and he didn't pay attention to the so-called experience value at all, "Okay, okay, I'm going back immediately." ”
In the dimness of the whirlwind, Tang Jun suddenly woke up from the computer keyboard, and the computer monitor was still flashing with the prompt box after the game failed, surrounded by the rental houses he was familiar with, and everything just now was as if nothing had happened.
I felt like a large stone was pressed on my chest, I had difficulty breathing, my whole body was weak, and I stood up tremblingly, and said to myself in a weak voice, "It turned out to be a nightmare." ”
I walked to the window, took two deep breaths of the cool air of the night, and felt a little better, now it is late autumn, and the frost has already come down at this time in the north, and the south is only slightly colder at night.
Tang Jun found out for the first time that the starry sky at night was so beautiful, he was just an ordinary person, without the strong physique and tenacious will of a soldier, nor did he spend money like dirt, and he only hoped to live a good life in peace, find a satisfactory job after graduating from college, and spend the rest of his life with the company of his loved ones.
Gently closed the window, took a hot shower, and lay on the bed tossing and turning and falling asleep.
Early the next morning, Tang Jun felt very tired and felt unwell, so he ate something casually on the fritter bun shop outside, and went straight to school, because there were compulsory courses this morning, and more importantly, he made an appointment with the future source of sexual happiness to go to the movies in the afternoon.
The events of last night seemed to be really like a dream away from him, death turned out to be so terrible, and he was so vulnerable in the face of death.
Rushing forward across the bicycle, but the terrifying picture of last night flashed uncontrollably in his mind, the car braked sharply and the ground rubbed with a screeching sound, Tang Jun was pulled back to his senses by the heat in front of him, and found that he was lying on the hood of a Mercedes-Benz.
"You little rabbit cub, don't bother me if you're looking for death, but you're scared to death Daddy, what are you doing with it, are you looking for a beating? Poor B student, count yourself lucky, my brother is in a good mood today, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around, and even my car will dare to wipe flowers. ”
The person who drove the car had a fat pig-like figure and a pig-like appearance, pointing at Tang Qing and scolding, "Yes, yes, it's my fault that big brother has a lot..." A delicate voice came from the co-pilot, dragging a long nasal voice, interrupting Tang Jun's words, "Oh, I hate it, I'm starving to death, what are you talking about with these people, hurry up, I want to eat." ”
"Okay, okay, little baby, it's my fault, my fault." Before the fat pig got into the car, he looked at Tang Jun with a fierce look, "Don't get out of here." ”
Tang Jun shuddered, hurriedly picked up the bicycle that fell in the middle of the road, at the moment of the wrong car, Yu Guang saw a bewitching woman in the co-pilot, with disdain in her eyes, this woman he knew, she was the dream lover of the dormitory Wang Fatty, and Li Meng, the flower of the English Department.
Distraught, he walked to the park next to him, sat down on a stone pier, dialed the phone, adjusted his breathing, and said in a gentle voice, "Qian, I'm not feeling well today, I don't want to come to class, I'm watching a movie at night, okay?" ”
A crisp and brutal voice came from the other end of the phone, "What do you mean, release my pigeons?" Love doesn't come. "With a snap, it's already hung up over there.
Tang Jun smiled bitterly, lay on the grass with his head back, sat up violently, and shouted at the small lake in front of him, "I'm next door." He wouldn't have done that before, but yesterday's nightmare hovered in his mind like roots.
After shouting, I finally felt a little more comfortable in my heart, but the uncles and aunts who were exercising by the lake looked sideways, thinking about which neuropathy this was, and they didn't lock it at home.
Ouyang Qian sat on the desk drinking milk, squinted at Tang Jun on the side with big eyes, and said with an orchid finger, "Didn't you say that you are not feeling well, why are you here again!" ”
Tang Qing didn't smile on his face, and the apt description was a cheap smile, "Lafayette beckoned, even if you borrow a hundred small ones, the small ones don't dare not come, how about today's xiaolongbao, it's not appetizing." ”
Ouyang Qian snorted, "It's almost, but I can't watch a movie in the afternoon, I want to go shopping with my friends." ”
"Ahh Ancestors, but they all said yes, why can't they be a good one? ”
Ouyang Qian said impatiently, "If I don't go, I won't go, why are you so annoying." ”
After finishing class in the morning, Tang Jun watched Ouyang Qing and her roommate get into a taxi with a smile, turned around and didn't say hello, and left in the dust.
A heavy sigh sounded behind him, "Alas, brother, amorous hatred has been empty since ancient times, this hatred is endless, Ouyang Qian is obviously enjoying your kindness to her, and you are not involved with other rich sons, it's time to let go, your set is about to expire." ”
The person who spoke was 1.8 meters tall and dark-skinned, and he was the basketball player Zha Lei in the dormitory before Tang Jun moved out, nicknamed scumbag, righteous and trustworthy, and a friend of Tang Jun, but he was a little miserable.
Ouyang Qian is not the kind of girl who is very beautiful, she grew up in the county since she was a child, with the usual squeamishness of a small county town, but Tang Jun is like being drugged, he likes it very much, he works hard, he is in different classes in high school, at that time, Tang Jun fell in love with Ouyang Qian.
"Move back, brothers are thinking about you? It's not a solution to always lack one of the four, no, big brother, please go outside another day. ”
Tang Jun couldn't help laughing, "You want me to go back, has the dormitory not been cleaned for a long time?" ”
In the eyes of everyone, Tang Jun has a gentle temper and likes to be helpful, as long as people with a better temper come.
"It's all brothers, what are you talking about?"
Tang Jun glanced back a few times, "What about the fat people?" Why didn't you see it. ”
"The fat man is sleeping in the dormitory, and the flowers have not returned yet."
There were four people in the dormitory, Tang Jun felt that he was normal, and the other three were simply wild horses that had taken off the leash, not at all like students who came to school.
"Let's eat together, and after a while, if it really doesn't work, I'll move back."
There was no class in the afternoon, Tang Jun returned to the rented room, sat on the bed and read, wanted to call Ouyang Qian, but was afraid that she would be happy to be shopping and didn't want to answer.
After reading for an hour, he didn't turn a page of the book, and when he raised his head and saw the computer screen, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, because he found that the computer didn't know when it had been turned on.
He was sure that he had not been within a meter of the computer until today, and a dinging sound came through his head, "Enter the game world in three days." ”
Tang Jun's expression was like a lightning strike, he got up like crazy, picked up a chair, and slammed it into the computer, but the nightmarish voice still recalled in his mind.
"Friendly reminder, please remember to read the game operation guide carefully before entering, if you do not enter the game on time." The pleasant voice suddenly became eerie, "Reality obliterates." ”
Yang Xinyu, a forensic doctor in H City, took off his work clothes, changed into civilian clothes, and prepared to go out to take a shower and take a sauna, so as to get rid of the smell on his body, he has been working overtime recently.
Not only him, but everyone in the unit is about to go crazy, especially Wang Jing, the captain of the criminal investigation team, who has completely lost his nerves, and it is said that the morning will be called by the director of the bureau to spray the bloody head of the dog.
Picking up the test report on the table, Yang Xinyu frowned, shook his head and sighed, walked out of the office, handed the report to Xiao Tang, turned around and walked out of the Public Security Bureau, waved a taxi, "Go to Guangming Courtyard." ”
His idol since childhood has been Sherlock Holmes, who likes to find differences in details that others don't pay attention to, and then peel back the cocoon to discover the truth of the matter.
Therefore, he is also well-known in the bureau, and this time the director asked him to fully assist the criminal investigation team in solving this case, which shows how urgent the pressure is.
This is so because there have been more than 50 deaths overnight in the city, and they all have a common trait: they like to play games, and they are between the ages of 15 and 30.
What's even more strange is that the cause of death is brain death, there are no injuries or signs of a fight, and no connection has been found between all of them for the time being.
Maybe two cases together can be called accidental, but so many people have this kind of situation, and it is definitely murder, and the means and the clever murder.
Yang Xinyu rubbed his swollen head, killing people must have a purpose and motive, as long as they can be found, the case will have the direction and possibility of detection.
But what is a headache is that there is no way to find it at all, thinking of the work report the day after tomorrow, Yang Xinyu feels that a storm is coming.
Tang Jun has not gone to class since he smashed his computer, and he has not even answered Ouyang Qian's phone, he wants to tell others but has no way to talk about it, even if he says it, who will believe it?
Fear made him cold, and he ate a bowl of instant noodles after three days of huddle in the quilt, and suddenly he missed his father and mother, wanted to go home to eat the food cooked by his mother, and played chess with his father with a smile, and the family was happy.
A pleasant voice sounded in his head like a urge, "Count down two hours to enter the game,"
