[Prologue: Social Background]

Wake up very early in the morning, brush your teeth and eat in a hurry, squeeze the bus to school or work;

Come home late in the evening, have dinner, relax a little, and immediately fall asleep for tomorrow.

Life is a muddy and difficult road paved by rules.

"Rules", yes, as here, are deadly, disgusting, boundless rules everywhere.

Who likes "rules"? Those things that are hard to break, and the whole world must abide by them.

Everybody lives by the rules. When you pick up this book, or read these words on the Internet, it means that you haven't encountered the rules storm in the book. You're in luck. On the other hand, there are also people who are unfortunate, and the catastrophe of life and death has taken away all their influence on the world...... Really, try to break the rules if you can.

Here, there are thirty intrepid adventurers.

And among these thirty, there is a "rulemaker" who makes the game.

……

The story takes place in Lingguang City, a city that never sleeps on a grand scale. And in the huge Lingguang City, there is a very conspicuous middle school.

Our story begins with the sixth class of the second year of high school.

[Prologue: Character Tandem]

It's a very large middle school, and the students in it are uneven, which is also a very normal thing. For example, the second (sixth) class of high school where Zheng Brown's [Judgment] is located is a place where all kinds of characters gather. It was not easy for everyone to meet here, and the existence of several characters with strong organizational skills in the class made the sixth class extremely united.

On Monday morning, Zheng Brown Xie pushed open the classroom door, he usually came early. Now there are only a few guys sitting in the classroom.

"Hey, hey, you're here? Lend me your English Handbook on Critical Points, and ...... quickly" As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by a boy with a punk haircut. This guy's name is Pang Ke [Perseverance], and he is a well-deserved handsome guy in the department. Although a man will be a little jealous of him, his open-mindedness and cheerfulness are not something that anyone can have.

Zheng Brown Xie helplessly glanced at Pang Ke who was blocking in front of him, and obediently handed over his homework. I hope this guy's hand speed can be a little faster this time, don't think about the same as last time, and copy until the end of the homework.

"Thanks—" Pang Kefeng took the job and returned to his seat. Immediately afterwards, a girl came over and touched Zheng Brown.

Mi Wei [Courage], wearing a white children's dress today, just changed a mushroom hairstyle on the weekend. She was pursing her lips embarrassedly at the moment, and whispered softly:

"That comic book of yours...... I'll give ...... I lost it. Mi Wei drooped her pretty face and looked at the ground, "I'll buy it and give it back to you this weekend." ”

"Oh...... It's okay, I thought something was wrong. Zheng Brown looked through her hair and looked into her eyes, "I've seen it all anyway." ”

Mi Wei was very upset, and just wanted to add something, Zheng Brown Evil preemptively said: "It's really okay, I've seen it many times, so I should give it to you." ”

In fact, the truth is that the comic book store is far away, and he has to go around several traffic lights, and he doesn't want her to make a special trip.

Seeing Zheng Brown evil like this, Mi Wei was embarrassed to say anything, and returned to her seat to turn on the Xueba mode - picking up physics notes to review. When Zheng Brown sat down, another girl slowly entered the classroom-Shi Beier [Force].

She sat down softly in her place, not wanting to disturb the crowd. Although there is only one person who is really engaged in learning, the vast majority of people are copying homework. For example, Pang Ke, who was copying homework and his hair flew up, just put down his pen at this moment and looked up at Shi Belle.

"Pang Ke, can you come here?"

Shi Belle was the first to speak, and the sweet and soft voice made the hearts of the boys sitting here flutter.

Pang Ke stood up, his red punk head showing his handsomeness and freedom.

"What's up, Belle?" He tilted his head and said with a hippie smile.

"You can't come to my house again tonight, my uncle has returned from a business trip. ......," she said in trepidation.

"It's okay, buddy, I'm so good, I just went to meet my parents, what are you afraid of." Pang Ke looked indifferent, the stars on his sportswear were very shining, which made him a little ruffian and naïve.

"Farewell...... My family has a very bad temper......" "Okay. Shi Bei'er's tone was obviously a little pleading, and Pang Ke didn't force it, but only asked, "Then, you can go to my place after school." ”

"Hmm...... I've got to go home first. "Okay, I'll pick you up later."

It's dog food again! Several boys cast jealous glances at Pang Ke.

Everyone knows that Pang Ke and Shi Beier are a young couple, although the two have not met each other's parents, they have always been the most prestigious CP in the department - of course, most of the reasons are because of Pang Ke.

Chatting and chatting, Yanchen [Vitality], who was leaning on the side and eavesdropping, leaned against the wall with his shoulders and smiled sunnyly: "Boss Pang, did you have a good chat?" ”

"Hah, so-so. It's you, Yanchen, when will you find one for Lao Tzu to see? ”

…… Zheng Brown, who was reading the novel, unintentionally went down, turned his face to look at Yanchen Pang Ke, and then looked at Mi Wei.

Pang Ke tilted his head and looked at Zheng Brown, pointed at Zheng Brownevil with one hand, pointed at Rice Fenn with the other, and then drew a big heart shape, looking at Zheng Brownevil proudly, Yanchen looked at him with a mockery on the side.

"Come on, you two." Zheng Brown Xie replied to the two of them with an expression of "Wow-" with a face full of disdain.

In front of the door, I don't know when there were two more figures.

Zheng Brown Evil turned around and saw that it was Cui Tiequan [Combat Power] and Pan Yiyou [Insight]. These two goods are small, and I heard that the relationship has been very good since childhood. One is full of force, and the other is a little bit of a small Zhengtai feeling, these two goods are also very suitable for group CP......

Oh no, no, no, what do I think. Zheng Brown shook his head and threw those rotten boy thoughts out of his mind.

"Lao Cui is here too?" Pang Ke returned to his seat with a smile and said, "If there are more people, I will copy my English first, and then talk about it after school." ”

Lao Cui turned his head to look at Pang Ke, who was working hard, and said unhurriedly: "Pang Ke, I heard that our English teacher is going back to his hometown, and he has been on leave for a few days...... "Really?!" Pang Ke threw away his English homework and smashed it on the table in front of Pan Yiyou.

"I'm sorry, haha, I'm so excited. In this way, you don't have to charge English homework! Finally, I don't have to listen to her growl. ”

Pan Yiyou picked up the difficult manual without moving and returned it to Pang Ke.

The class is quite noisy, almost all of them are boys, Zheng Brown's words, he rarely talks here, but occasionally interjects a few words. It's usually Pang Keyanchen Cui Tiequan or something, and he likes to shout. Of course, there will be other girls-

Squeak –

A man and a woman pushed the door and walked into the classroom, and as soon as the girl entered the door, she began to say angrily: "Damn! Didn't you say good heating? Why is it like a freezer, and the old lady has been frozen into popsicles. ”

This girl with a relatively loud voice is none other than a little witch in our class - Ye Naoxian [Sharpness].

And the skinny boy who followed him as a little transparent, drooping his head and not saying a word, is called Gong San [self-control]

"Humph! Our school has had more than a year of experience in managing our hot and cold. This is a broken school that only seeks admission rates. ”

Pang Ke casually touched the cold heater, "What is the use of these rusty iron pipes except for the scam inspection!" ”

The girl named Ye Haoxian sat open-mindedly in the seat, and the boy behind her sat next to her with some trepidation - they were at the same table and boyfriend and girlfriend.

However, the success rate of this pair is obviously not as good as the Pang Keshi Belle combination just now in the eyes of everyone, the main reason is that Gong San is too introverted, even if he is silent about his girlfriend. It's not Archimedes and Hawking who are really worth a word, but the stuffy gourd in front of them.

“…… I said Gong San, you have to be a little more proactive, don't just be silent. Behind Gong San, Yanchen touched his arm.

Beside Gong San, Ye Haoxian glared at Gong San and said angrily: "Alas, if you adopt someone else's words a little, I won't have to fall in love with a piece of wood." ”

……

This is probably just a corner of our class.

Originally, there were 30 people in our class who "played" and studied in harmony, happily and painfully.

Zheng Brown Evil dropped the pen in his hand, and the black gel pen left the word "rule" on the white paper.

Until that day......

[Prologue: The game is about to start - I am the ruler]

It was a fine morning, and when everyone was in line, an inexplicable guy walked into our classroom.

He/she? Standing on the podium, he glanced at the circle of people below and shook his head.

"Be quiet."

At some point, a word that seemed to have a magical power caused us to stop and return to our seats and sit upright. Even the boys who were fighting in the back took the initiative to return to their seats, facing the stranger in front of them who looked about their age, but it was difficult to distinguish between men and women.

"Looking at the waves, there is no way out of fate."

What we hear is clearly the sound of wooden planks rubbing!

They began to be strange, Cui Tiequan wanted to ask something, and suddenly, he felt that his body was fluttering, and everyone around him looked at him in horror - he realized that his 210-pound body had been vacated!

"Three-dimensional world, witness the oblique waves."

"The truth hides the fake, and the ship spins and sounds."

"When the three treasures are gathered, the rules are broken."

“……”

"30 of you, I'm sorry, I'm just doing a test with you. Next, you're going to go through four games. Whether you want it or not, it's inevitable, it's the rule. He glanced up at the surprised Cui Tiequan, and continued: "I'm sorry for you, I just want to use you to prove my strength, as an illustration - I am a 'ruler', I can control everything, and people worship me as the 'god of rules'." ”

It was silent, and it was quieter than the streets that would be swept away by the Japanese.

"Please."

"Note."

"Meaning."

"Believe it or not, listen carefully to what I have to say. First of all, there are 30 people in your second year of high school and 6 classes, and you will participate in four life and death games, without exception, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, high or low, high or low, high or small, and ability. ”

"The four games you have to go through are on a ladder of difficulty, and you have to pass one level before you can move on to the next. There will be three days off between the levels, which may be for you to prepare for the next level, or ...... A chance to say goodbye to this world. ”

"For all levels, there will only be one condition for clearing the level - to get a mysterious orb. It's as simple as that, but this orb needs to be found by yourself, within the range I have delineated. ”

"Since it's a game, of course there will be wins and losses, of course there will be injuries, and even ...... Dead man. ”

"You can guess for yourself what the purpose of this game is. As for me, if you want to know, after all the tests are passed, there will be a chance. ”

"Let's guess when it will be over? Or in which 'chapter' of the game will you die? Historically, no one has ever been able to break through my game, even if I select the best people from all walks of life, even if it is a battle-experienced special forces, the third and fourth chapters will also make them fall. ”

"Why did you choose you? Well, that's a good question. Because each of you has a valuable 'attribute', a 'force' attribute. Oh, I don't want to reveal more, the game starts tomorrow, tomorrow, see you there. ”

The "ruler" smiled at the dazed classmates below, and added another sentence, and this sentence caused everyone to fall into a situation of mutual suspicion in the next four levels of the game - "The 'ruler' is a member of your class......"

This voice was very light and light, but even Cheng Lei Chain [Intelligence], who was sitting at the end, could hear it very clearly.

See you or leave you!

The ruler smiled, as if he was already looking forward to what was coming next.

Everyone watched Cui Tie's mountain-like body slowly descend back to the chair.

Pang Ke was the first to come back to his senses and asked tentatively: "...... Guys, do any of you know what just happened? ”

After a while, the others came back to their senses, and Yanchen turned his head and replied, "I...... I'm not sure, Boss, are we in a dream? ”

"It's class!"

As soon as the ruler walked on the front foot, the homeroom teacher came in and took out the textbook and began to talk about homework as if he had never seen the ruler at all.

This inexplicable incident was quickly thought to be a prank by most people.

After class, Yanchen asked Cui Tiequan ridiculously how he flew up this tonnage, but Cui Tiequan replied solemnly, there was a powerful force supporting him to take off.

Cui Tiequan will not deceive people, his performance is in Yanchen's opinion, the truth is greater than the lie. But he still can't accept the existence of any "god of rules".

Cheng Leilian has no intention of sleeping, nor does he have the intention of playing games, he is the only one who clearly understands that judging from the situation just now, what the "rule man" said should be true! Because, Cui Tiequan's did take off, and it was lifted off under the effect of similar "telekinesis"!

"Guys, we should be well prepared!"

Cheng Leilian suddenly shouted at the restless class.

…… The air was suddenly quiet.

"Cheng Leilian, it turns out that your voice is like this, it's the first time I've heard you speak so loudly!" "It can't be that there's something wrong with the braincase, come on, come on, I'll get you a tube and put water in it." "What are you doing to scare people, cut!" ……

Zheng Brown turned his face back and glanced at Cheng Leilian.

Cheng Leilian himself knows that in fact, he is the one who suffers when he rises up at this time to appeal and reason with them. But for the sake of the "lives" of so many people, he must speak out with sarcasm and sarcasm.

"Whatever your intelligence, remember, in my opinion, that what the man said is likely to be true. Please be prepared. His 'game' is definitely not a good thing, it is likely to be all kinds of ......" Before Cheng Leilian finished speaking, Qiao Xueao [Power] turned around, pointed at Cheng Leilian's nose and said: "You are mentally retarded and brain-dead, who are you to scare!" Shut your mouth for the old lady! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, another girl chimed in: "That's right, according to what you just said, then the one who doubts the rules now is you-Cheng Leilian, how about it?" Because there's so much you know. ”

You...... You guys......

Cheng Leilian buried his head down, simply ignored them, and continued to rest on his stomach.

"Look, I'm acquiescing." …… Many pointed at him, thinking that he had nothing to say.

Yanchen just wanted to go over to see the situation, but Pang Ke grabbed his arm. He saw Pang Ke shaking his head, so he didn't go over to look. Pang Ke quietly made a lip shape - I believe him.

Zheng Brown Evil just looked in the direction of Pang Ke at this time, and his mouth shape was in full view of him.

I don't know what happened, but my judgment tells me...... I believe in him too.

……

That night, at 23:50.

"Brown Evil, didn't you sleep?"

In the boys' dormitory, Cheng Leilian, the top bunk of Zheng Brown, poked his head out, and his purple hair was messy and fluffy.

"Brown Demon, you believe in the daytime, right?"

The night was very deep, and the moonlight was like a black cloth, enveloping the outside world.

"It's a quiet night."

Zheng Brown didn't answer directly, but said slowly: "The rules said 'Three Treasures Gathered' or something, have you written it down?" ”

"Remember almost......" "Sleep!" A buddy on the top bunk suddenly shouted, "It's so late and you still haven't slept yet?!" Why are you so naïve, it's clearly just a prank. Brown Demon, you'd better stay away from people like him. ”

Cheng Leilian's popularity is very poor, probably because he is too cold.

Cheng Leilian himself didn't care about the outside world, he only stared at Zheng Brown, like staring at some fun toy, and after a while, he withdrew his head and continued to sleep.

The night was very quiet, as quiet as Zheng Brown's breath;

The night is very far away, as far as Yanchen's boundless dream;

The night was very deep, as deep as Belle's heart;

The night is very long, and it looks like Cui Tiequan's doubts;

The night is very gray, as dark as Cheng Leilian's thinking.

In fact, the game has already begun.

Thirty classmates, thirty people with their own "strengths".

Guess who's going to live; Who, the rulers again!
