Chapter 59: The Mystery Player
Fucheng, evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun fills the sky, and in a golden and red sunset, a few birds flutter their wings.
The evening breeze blows through the streets of the city, and it is so comfortable that you almost fall asleep.
If there are no ghosts in this apartment......
Ye Zi took a deep breath, it had been a night.
Counting yourself, there are still six players around.
However, almost all of them are not sure that they will survive.
[Strange talk: I am aging. 】
[Opening remarks: I'm getting older.] 】
Why is this happening? Why can't you stop aging? 】
[Teeth fell out, hair turned gray, waist bent, legs can no longer support the body, eyes are getting cloudier day by day. 】
Why did such a thing happen to me? 】
[Is this what it is...... Retribution......]
This concludes the opening remarks.
And the final text is-
[At 7 p.m., arrive at the dusk apartment. 】
[After midnight, take turns to take care of the elderly for one hour.] 】
[Game duration, three days.] 】
[Latecomers will be deemed to have failed the game.] 】
[Those who leave the apartment will be considered a failure in the game.] 】
[Those who die will be considered a failure in the game.] 】
[The game fails, obliterates.] 】
[Good luck, strange talk player.] 】
The requirements are very clear, and compared to ordinary strange talks, it seems that it is not difficult at all.
But...... Yesterday afternoon, they came to the dusk apartment as required by the time, and after a preliminary understanding of the situation, almost all of them had a blank brain for a while.
The apartment was eerie in the setting sun, without the slightest warmth.
There is no person in charge, no security, no nurse.
In a huge apartment, there is only one "person......
That person is also the "old man" who needs them to take turns to take care of in the requirements of the game characters.
But that person is not old at all!
It was a woman of nearly forty years old, and although she was bloated, so fat that she could barely walk, and her appearance was extremely ugly, she was not old in any way.
Until...... The woman, who was so fat that she almost became a ball of meat, said:
"Help me...... I'm only nineteen years old, and I'm getting older all the time...... I don't want to die......"
"Woo ......"
After seeing everyone's frightened eyes, she cried.
There is no beauty in crying, and a huge mass of flesh trembling and crying only makes people more frightening.
No one knew what to do with this woman who claimed to be nineteen years old, she was so strange, so weird, that the curse of the old man must have something to do with her, both from the name of the strange story and the content of the opening speech.
Nothing good will happen to be close to her, but the task requires everyone to take care of her for another hour.
When everyone hesitated, he stepped forward.
With his back to the sunset, he showed a gentle smile to everyone: "Tonight, let me be the first to take care of her." ”
Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, everyone's heart is beating heavily, and at this moment, it is easy for those who take the initiative to stand up to gain everyone's favor.
Ye Zi also has a good impression of him.
He is the only one who has remained calm and optimistic from the moment he came to this apartment.
He was always smiling, playing with a delicate pocket watch in his hand, opening it from time to time to glance at the time.
Just looking at his tall and upright voice and shadow is extremely reassuring.
Because......
He's the third player in this weird world.
"Mr. Shen, please be careful......"
Ye Zi whispered, her heart beating fast, I don't know if it was because of fear or shyness.
The player's surname is Shen, he is in his twenties, and it is appropriate to call him a sir.
When he heard this, he smiled and met everyone's gaze.
"Don't worry, trust me, I'm ......"
"Third seat."

"Shen Ji?"
The light and shadow of dusk were projected onto the hospital bed, Liu Jingqing leaned on the pillow, looking at Zhong Xueran, who was full of interest, and she was chattering about some people she knew.
"Mr. Shen Lu, is that the third player?"
Liu Jingqing's face is still a little pale, but her condition is undoubtedly much better, the doctor's surgical skills are very good, just like Zhong Xueran said, if he can't do it, there will be no other doctors.
"Ah...... Right. ”
Zhong Xueran picked up a grape, threw it up, raised his head to catch it, and wiped his mouth after eating it deliciously: "I'm not very familiar with that guy, most of the players in the top ten seats have accumulated spirit pupils by playing games again and again, exchanged for exclusive permanent props, and become the top ten." ”
"So the more players with the number of pupils, the greater the probability of getting to know each other, because we have too many games and will always meet each other."
"There are two guys who are exceptions, though."
Zhong Xueran held her chin and yawned and looked out the window: "One is the sixth seat, evening primrose." One is the third seat, the player. Especially the third seat, it is the guy named Shen Ji. ”
"There was no name for him in the ten seats, who knew that guy had cleared an ultimate game, and he didn't know how many spirit pupils he had obtained, so he rushed to the third seat in one go, tsk."
Zhong Xueran seemed a little unconvinced, and muttered:
"I didn't even finish the game ten times, and I rushed to the third seat, what shit luck ......"
Liu Jingqing smiled: "The ultimate game has to destroy players at least four times, so many people have died, only he succeeds, Mr. Shen Ji must be very powerful, Xue Ran, don't underestimate him." ”
Zhong Xue stood up angrily: "How do you speak in a tone with Yang, of course I know that guy has some strength, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Liu Jingqing looked at her suspiciously.
"It's just that Yang said that Shen Ji may become the new chief, so I don't want it!" Zhong Xue ran away angrily, and after a while, she showed her head at the door of the ward, "What snacks do you want to eat, I'll go to the supermarket now and bring you some." ”
Liu Jingqing shook her head: "I'd better follow the doctor's instructions......"
"Humph!"
Zhong Xueran left again.
Liu Jingqing looked funny, and Zhong Xueran seemed to have a different kind of good impression of Yang.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that most of the men and women selected by this game are still young.
Struggling in fear and despair, the recognition and affection cultivated by experiencing life and death together again and again are much deeper than going to a haunted house and a place like script killing.
It is inevitable that some people will regard the throbbing between life and death as love and fall into it.
Maybe...... Yang once saved Zhong Xueran?
In an environment where there is constant uneasiness, it is easy to be tempted by someone who can give a solid sense of security.
But Liu Jingqing knew that it was just a momentary heartbeat.
Because of that throbbing, she has had it too.
Not so long ago.
In such a precarious game, it is superfluous to talk about any feelings.
Wish...... Xue Ran, don't be too obsessed.
The sun and the snow are never a couple.
Looking out the window at dusk, Liu Jingqing opened her notebook and suddenly had some inspiration for a new novel.
But just as he typed a word, the shadow of a person appeared in his mind.
This time, he was chosen again, and I don't know how he is now.
I hope Mr. Qin, everything goes well.

What to do?
Will you be able to make it through?
Liang Yue and Wang Wanwan's bodies stiffened, and cold sweat flowed.
The butcher's knife of the proprietress has been moved.
