Chapter 10: The Game Begins

"Young man?"

"Young man?"

"Are you alright?"

Qin Manjiang tilted his head slightly, stretched out his left hand to block in front of him, although the sunlight was soft, but the sudden appearance was also very dazzling.

After a little bit of habituation, the blurred vision gradually came into focus.

In front of him is an uncle who looks like a sanitation worker.

Qin Manjiang sat up with his hands on the ground and held his forehead.

"Did you drink too much last night? Go home, there was a fire here the night before, unlucky! ”

...... the night before yesterday

Fire?

Qin Manjiang's memory was reconnected, he touched his face, and his glasses were gone......

Sure enough, it's not a dream, it's real.

After thanking the uncle, he got up from the ground and turned his head to look—

The Critical Cinema has burned to ruins.

Coming to the sidewalk, Qin Manjiang just wanted to turn on his mobile phone, but hesitated.

After a moment of silence, press on.

Time, August 13, morning, 6:15.

"Not awake yet......"

The sanitation uncle looked at Qin Manjiang, who was standing on the sidewalk, staring at his mobile phone in a daze, muttered in a low voice, and swept the street away.

Suddenly, Qin Manjiang's gaze fell on the screen of his mobile phone!

Compared with before, there is an extremely conspicuous icon on the mobile phone screen - a black smiling face.

That's it......

It's called a game, but it's actually an eerie link to the real world.

After a glance around, it was just past six o'clock in the morning, and there was no one on the street except for the sanitation uncle.

Qin Manjiang stared at the icon for a moment and nodded without hesitation.

As before, the screen went black suddenly.

Strange smiling faces emerged from the darkness and then disappeared quietly.

All the words seemed to know that Qin Manjiang had finished reading, and they collapsed in an instant.

Immediately after, a never-before-seen interface appeared on his phone.

【Player Leaderboard - 10 seats】

【Chief - Yang】

[2nd Seat - Doctor]

[Third seat - player]

【Fourth Seat - Shin Shin】

[Fifth seat - Chen Zhiyuan]

[Sixth seat - evening primrose]

[Seventh seat - let me out]

[Eighth seat - Jungle]

[Ninth seat - singer]

[Tenth seat - annoying]

Qin Manjiang looked at them one by one, these ten people are the ten people who have survived the longest time in this so-called game?

At this time, the list of the rankings also melted into the black background, and in its place, it was Qin Manjiang's code name.

【Welcome Players - Abyss】

【Join the game】

One by one, the code names appear on the screen of the phone.

Mid-levels: "Another unlucky guy." ”

Horsehead with sword: "This is not something to be congratulated. ”

Farmer: "Male or female?" ”

Shi Qingshan: "I hope you can live a little longer." ”

Leziren: "Abyss? This code name is stronger than the tenth seat. ”

Leziren: "There is also a seventh seat. ”

“……”

Qin Manjiang extinguished the screen.

There are far more people involved in this real-life weird game than he expected, and the game is not ordinary.

It seemed to have other functions, but Qin Manjiang didn't care at all at the moment.

He had an idea that needed to be confirmed right away!

Stopping a taxi, Qin Manjiang said quickly to the driver:

"Go to the Tiannan Road Branch!"

The driver stole a glance at him and quickly started the vehicle.

It seems that he felt Qin Manjiang's eagerness, or it may be that there are no vehicles on the road early in the morning, the driver's speed is very fast, and when he arrived at the Tiannan Road Branch, only the police on duty were there, and he had not officially gone to work.

"Thank you."

After getting out of the car, Qin Manjiang almost rushed into the police station.

The officer on duty stopped him and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Tiannan Road, Critical Cinema, have the identities of the deceased been confirmed?"

The policeman on duty looked Qin Manjiang up and down and asked, "Are you a reporter?" ”

"No, my friend is missing, he went to the Critical Cinema before he disappeared, I want to know...... Is there him in the dead? Qin Manjiang's attitude was urgent.

This convinced the police.

After all, this level of anxiety is hard to fake.

"This classmate, you wait first, we understand your feelings, but please tell us the basic information of your friend, the DNA test results have come out, but our DNA database is not perfect, many missing people have not been sampled before, and the deceased found this time is also, the DNA of the corpse does not match the information in the database, as if it came out of nowhere, and we have not received other reports about missing persons."

When Qin Manjiang heard what the police said, he immediately told the other party Li Xi's basic information.

After waiting for a while, the policeman came to tell him that there was indeed information about Li Xicheng in the database.

"That'...... Is that him? ”

Qin Manjiang had already packed up his emotions during this time.

The officer shook his head and said, "This should be good news, the DNA of all the deceased we found is not comparable to that of the classmate named Li Xijiao." ”

Qin Manjiang's heart trembled suddenly, and he asked, "So, he is not among these dead?" ”

The police officer nodded: "We have searched the ruins, there can't be other corpses, since Li Xi's classmate is not there, it means that he may have left after going to the cinema." ”

"Come, you fill out a report form, and we will continue to investigate Li Xi's disappearance."

Qin Manjiang was arranged to sit down and handed over a watch.

He finished it very cooperatively, but his heart was full of excitement and doubt.

Li Xi has already turned into a ghost, but his body has never been found.

Although from the perspective of possibility, there is almost no probability that Li Xi is still alive, but for Qin Manjiang, Li Xi seems to have become the cat in the box again.

As long as there is a glimmer of other possibilities, there is hope.

Walking out of the police station, looking up at the sky, after this pass, the time was almost noon.

I can't talk about the relief in my heart, it's just ......

Before Qin Manjiang's thoughts in his heart could unfold, suddenly, his phone rang.

Looking down, the person who called turned out to be the squad leader?

Qin Manjiang's complexion changed.

The squad leader only learned about his number when he was asked to take care of his sister yesterday, and he called today, could it be that Qin was satisfied with an accident?

Qin Manjiang immediately pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

"Hello? It's me, Qin Manjiang. ”

On the other end of the phone, the squad leader's voice was a little excited, and there were some other indescribable emotions, she whispered:

"Classmate Qin, come to the hospital soon, your sister is awake!"

Qin Manjiang was stunned and immediately replied:

"I'll come over here!"

"But...... Qin ...... Classmate Qin, please be mentally prepared......" the class leader said hesitantly.

Qin Manjiang's hand that was about to hang up the phone stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your sister, she'...... Killed! ”
