Chapter 41 Illusion
"Star Cup game rules:
You can kill opponents, mutant beasts, and mutant plants. The points are 10 points, 5 points, and 3 points. The optical brain automatically accumulates points. In case of special species, the points are determined by the system itself.Set up random levels in the middle, and the stars obtained by clearing the level will be included in the final score.
Game time: 24H"
Very simple and easy to understand rules, not limited to individuals or groups, anyway, it is possible to kill each other in the end.However, a small group with strong loyalty among military school students has an advantage, because they trust each other and know how to coordinate and score.
Neither Kirk nor Hoon attended, and Shi Zhou was of course alone.His purpose is not pure in the first place, and it is not good to drag others down.
The use of mechs is set in the last level of treasure hunting. Before that, all real people went into battle, fighting against the crisis of the flesh and the jungle.
After the emperor and the crown prince made short and powerful speeches to announce the official start, all the people who had been waiting for a long time flew out. With such strength gathered, the ground under their feet sank for a moment, and there was a rumbling and trembling sound, as if the whole small planet was roaring.
How did everyone work so hard at the beginning?
Shi Zhou sighed, reluctantly falling behind, slowly keeping himself from falling behind, quickly observing the surrounding environment with his eyes.
The students of the first army who did not participate in the competition gathered together in various places with big screens. When the camera swept across the thin and salty fish figure, people who knew Shi Zhou couldn't help hesitating: "Such a salty fish, with Time and weeks are really similar."
Shi Zhou has always felt that he has a characteristic, that is, if he is serious, he will be unlucky.
There is a saying: When you make up your mind to work hard, the whole world will make way for you.
But when you put it on Shi Zhou, it becomes: when you make up your mind to work hard, the whole world is running on the road trying to slap you in the mud.
Giant trees in the sky, red frozen soil, dark blue smoke, ravines and ravines, the planet seems to condense various scenes in strange movies.
In order to add more fun, the organizer specially set up some small checkpoints. It is all luck to encounter them. After clearing the checkpoints, you can get the stars with accumulated points. After wandering around for a long time, you can't find a single one.Wherever he walked, he couldn't bump into a classmate, let alone a wild animal.
The sea is calm and the world is beautiful.
There is no fight, where can I get points?
After Shi Zhou walked for a long time, he expressed genuine and confused doubts.
The mobile small satellites following each player are not far and near, but the white light is not flashing, which means that the monitoring camera mode is not turned on.Generally, only star players and people with gimmicks can have this kind of treatment. People like myself who are unlucky at the beginning will definitely not have a name.
In fact, what he didn't know was that for a short period of time when he didn't pay attention, the small satellite once flashed white dots violently, and a few spectators who bumped in by mistake saw everything and couldn't help complaining:
【Hahahahahahahaha, is this person here for a tour? 】
【Other players are already fighting and killing him. He is still in peace. Let me come and relax. 】
[The pressure of competition is too great now, and I have felt the stability here for a long time, live broadcast of health care!like! 】
【poisonous!I have watched this live broadcast for half an hour without knowing it, and I don't want to quit to find other popular live broadcasts. 】
[Hahahahaha I burst out laughing!He actually asked a dog's tail grass just now, "Can you open up your wits and let me kill you?" The child was driven crazy! 】
When Zhou raised his head to look at the top of his head, the satellite broadcast signal had been cut off, so he never knew that for a period of time he brought happiness to everyone!
【Zhou Zhou, what are you doing? 】Even the Buddhist system, which only knows how to watch movies, didn’t hold back the reminder,【Shi Qing seems to have scored a lot of points. 】
More than just a lot of points, it's simply the best.
It itself is not smart, thinking that Shi Zhou has its own rhythm and ideas, so it only dared to quietly inform Shi Zhou in a low voice and quickly shut down the microphone.
It has been three hours since the start of the race, and Shi Zhou also walked non-stop for three hours. During the three hours, he only saw a few ducks swaggering past. Other than that, he chose a thousand-mountain-bird-flying route. A road where thousands of people disappear.
The system looked anxious, but it couldn't help, and Shi Zhou didn't believe in evil and didn't want its help.
"Huh?" After passing through a grass field, there was a brown cliff covered with turf in front of him. There seemed to be flowing water flowing under the huge gap in the middle. Shi Zhou stopped, observed for a moment and jumped off without hesitation.
Long live!The child couldn't think about committing suicide!
The system's howling like a slaughtered pig just got stuck in its throat, and it swallowed it back immediately.
Where there was a rush of water at the bottom of the cliff, it clearly fell into an air-raid shelter with the top floor dug out.
"The flow of water is still." Shi Zhou thoughtfully and systematically explained his "suicide" behavior.
The aisle is dark but clean, it should be the legendary special mission point.
What will it be?organ?arms?Chamber of Secrets?
Shi Zhou was thinking aimlessly, until he met a figure in a black officer's uniform sitting on a chair, with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.
his guardian.
Shi Zhou knocked on the iron table, and walked carelessly through the back door:
"Si Lin, I want stars."
"This?" There was a bright golden five-pointed star on Si Lin's flat palm.
Shi Zhou hasn't seen one until now, so of course he couldn't answer Si Lin's question very well: "Huh? I don't know either, it should be."
Si Lin nodded, but never retracted his hand.
Shi Zhou blinked his eyes several times, hesitantly reached out his hand to Si Lin, the two palms touched quickly, and the five-pointed star arrived at his hand after sweeping away the warmth.
Big release?
Shi Zhou cheekily continued to ask: "Don't you want to clear the customs? What is the customs clearance?"
Si Lin handed the Rubik's Cube in front of his eyes: "The Rubik's Cube."
"Just align the colors?" Shi Zhou was a little confused when faced with the psychedelic scene. He even wondered if Si Lin was playing with him. This Rubik's Cube was obviously the one he sent out before.
Confused, helpless and puzzled, it didn't affect him to remove the stool and sit down to skillfully unify the color blocks on one surface one by one.After matching all the pieces perfectly, Shi Zhou stood up and leaned over the table, leaned in front of Si Lin and showed him the completed Rubik's Cube: "Look."
"Well. Si Lin miraculously found a brass five-pointed star under Shi Zhou's suspicious and expectant eyes, placed it flat on his palm and released it accurately, falling into the middle.
There was a dead silence, and the system crashed immediately.
Shi Zhou laughed so hard his teeth could not see his eyes, his eyes were bent into extremely narrow and long crescents, glistening with water, and the pink gum flesh was rarely seen.
Si Lin—a good man who opened the floodgates!
It was like launching a submarine to catch him!
Especially with such a serious and abstinent face of "whatever I do is right, you can't have an opinion", Shi Zhou seemed to be poked into his laughing hole and holding two stars, laughing unsteadily.
Relying on the table not far away, Si Lin stretched out his hand and patted Shi Zhou's head lightly. The hard silver button on his cuff slightly touched his forehead. The cold touch made him subconsciously close his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were still raised. The height is tilted upwards.
"Happy?" Si Lin asked.
"Of course! Are we cheating?" Shi Zhou tossed two five-pointed stars slightly, and the tinkling and crisp sound of metal colliding was really pleasant, echoing in the empty space.
Si Lin didn't hesitate at all: "It doesn't count, I gave it to them, and they won't have any objections."
"Then I'm leaving, and I'll contact you after the game." Shi Zhou stuffed the two stars into his pocket, and looked back every step of the way, worried that Si Lin would set some trap for him.
Of course, it was obvious that he took the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Throughout the whole process, Si Lin shrugged and criss-crossed his fists to show that he would not make any moves.
[I have a sense of unreality, why did I win the lottery all of a sudden. 】The system has never recovered from such a bizarre operation, and mumbled to itself in a daze.
Knowing people, knowing face but not knowing heart, I didn't expect Si Lin to be such a shameless person, so shameless and open-minded, he subdued his unifying heart.
It was noon when the game started, and now it is evening, and the last ray of the setting sun is about to dissipate.
The night is the highlight. The ferocious beasts that lurked at night in the dense forest opened their eyes, and the surge of people broke the ecological balance inside, making the beasts even more manic.With every breath, a plant may break out from the ground under your feet at any time, wrap around your ankles and drag you into the soil.
Similar to wilderness survival games, they do not allow players to bring their own food.I had nothing to eat, so I had to do it myself to get enough food and clothing.
Shi Zhou frowned slightly throughout the journey, full of heroic and tragic sense of sacrifice, and carried out hunting and bloodletting and burning fires.
"How much dressing should I sprinkle?"
On the surface, it seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact, the voice of the system frantically flipping through the recipes came from his mind: 【Five hundred milliliters of seasoning!No no no!Three hundred milliliters is enough!No no no! 】
With a trembling of Shi Zhou's hands, he had already thrown everything down, looking up in a daze, at a loss for what to do.
Now that it is irretrievable, Shi Zhou began to improvise like Van Gogh possessed.
Reluctantly, he brought the operation over, and the food gradually gave off the taste it should have. He tried it with full expectation, but put it down speechlessly.
excuse me.
A mutated pig followed the firelight and waited for a long time. It bit the thrown away food, chewed and swallowed it, and suddenly turned over to reveal its white belly. The food was surprisingly outrageous.
Time Week: ...
He didn't even eat pigs, so he understood.
Squinting his eyes, the sporadic fires in the distance attracted his attention, and he followed the guidance. A team of five people sat in a circle, and the fish cooked on the grill erected by tree branches was plump and juicy, and the animal meat was golden and flowing. Oil.
"Shizhou, have you eaten? Do you want to join us?" The classmates of Shoujun's major jumped up happily when they saw him and warmly invited him to join.
The people in the same team were probably classmates from other schools, and their eyes ranged from goodwill to hostility. Shi Zhou was so hungry that he took out the blood-activating medicine from his bag, and said concisely: "Exchange."
"What is this? Is it to stop the bleeding? We have a lot." The classmate politely refused, stuffing something into his hand desperately, while explaining to the guarded companion, "This is my own, there is no need for a collective one, you can Don't be so concerned."
A girl with a bad look flickered her eyes, and said sarcastically, "You're the only one who got so much food in exchange for a few bottles of hemostatic medicine."
"No, it's for blood circulation." Shi Zhou carefully covered it up for them, grabbed the half-dead rabbit they captured, and poured the medicine on the rabbit's wound, and in an instant the rabbit's wound spewed out another stream of blood Zhu, completely hiccupped.
The innocent look on Shi Zhou's face that killed people with his hands had a huge impact on them, shocking everyone at once, like a beautiful fallen angel.
There are popular players in this group, so the satellite focused on them. It just so happened that this scene was broadcast, and the people of Xingwang were suddenly beaten up:
[Within 3 minutes, I want all the information about this little brother. 】
[It's too scary to do such devilish things with such an angelic face! 】
[Fuck so exciting!Who is this person and why is there no live broadcast!I want to see! 】
"Eh!"
After hearing the voice, Shi Zhou turned his head and waited for the speaker to finish speaking.
"Your medicine is too expensive, is it looking down on us by exchanging so little of us?" The same girl, still with a bad tone, gave Shi Zhou a lot of things like alms.
Gradually, she blushed under Shi Zhou's smiling gaze, and angrily threw the burning wood in her hand towards Shi Zhou's feet: "Would you like me or not, I know you don't remember me."
"Why don't you remember?" Shi Zhou sighed with a smile.
The arrogant and glamorous eldest lady in the empire, duplicity and using the worst way to help him, did not expect that there is still no change after so many years.
"Then do you want to form a team with us?" The eldest lady said with joy, and managed to hold back the impatience she had shown.
Shi Zhou shook his head: "No need, I'm not suitable for groups."
Her face immediately wanted to stink, and without waiting for a reaction, Shi Zhou packed up a few pieces of food that were estimated according to their portions and disappeared into the darkness.
"I told you to take more..." she muttered softly.
When she turned her head and met the clear eyes of her companions, she flicked her hair stiffly and subconsciously: "Shi Zhou! You are so annoying!"
When I accidentally annoyed others again, Shi Zhou found a secluded place and managed to stuff some dry food to wrap his belly, carefully put the rest in his backpack, and secretly vowed to be careful and careful.
Si Lin may be his lucky stone. Since meeting him, his luck of "no grass will grow once he walks along the way" is much better. At least he can meet some existences who can score points.
"Remind me when there are only two hours left before the end of the game." Shi Zhou instructed the system, raising his eyes to look around.
The trees stood tall, and there was nothing unusual about them.
Ever since the fight with Shi Qing and his recovery from the hospital, the system found that it became increasingly difficult to guess what Shi Zhou was thinking. His eyes seemed to hide a lot of thoughts, and he became less and less talkative. Eliminated several points.
Whether the time and week have changed, it often quietly doubts.
grown up?Indifferent?Got to hate?
【good. 】It agreed.
There is a big swamp ahead, it seems to have come to a dead end.A small star hangs above the reeds at the edge of the swamp, clearly telling people, "Come and pick me!"
Heh, how could such a determined person like Shi Zhou be overwhelmed by such a small temptation, of course he knew he couldn't get it, so he turned around and left without hesitation!
It's exactly the same way as when I came here, but it seems to be a little different.
The trees next to them seemed to have eyes, and they all looked at Shi Zhou's body and moved together.
Shi Zhou turned his head abruptly.
brush.
There was no movement.
Only the sound of my own heart beating.
Shi Zhou frowned, turned around, and took another step.
Swipe a roll, and the wrist-thick dead branches under his feet consciously wrapped around his calves. Shi Zhou was startled, and he sideways blocked the banyan tree whiskers that were thrown violently like a whip. The seven-inch size of a blue-purple scaled venomous snake with its bloody mouth wide open.
Under the heavy cover, the intertwined vines automatically separated to reveal strange red flowers.
Too bad, Shi Zhou couldn't dodge in time, he didn't even have time to raise his hand to cover himself, he sighed secretly about his bad luck with a thud in his heart.
I didn't expect to meet the enchanted flower here.
The ecstasy flower is a plant with high-level intelligence. As the name suggests, it can emit hallucinogenic smoke and make the poisoned person indulge in hallucinations silently.Either he will never be able to get out, or he will be dismembered by wild beasts while he is unable to move.
Shi Zhou froze, his limbs seemed to be firmly shackled and he couldn't exert any strength at all, his blood stopped flowing, only his eyes could move on his face, and his lips could open slightly to make a sound.He heard the ecstasy flowers giggling strangely in his ears, and the rotting and stenchy fragrance was inhaled by his eyes and noses which were still working hard.
He clearly saw a few wisps of green smoke fluttering from the flat ground, and his consciousness was in a trance following the ups and downs with a strange rhythm.
wake up.
He closed his eyes heavily, but because he couldn't move, he couldn't use the most extreme pain to regain his sobriety, and let the hands of the illusion drag him into the boundless white mist.
There are countless smiling faces hidden in the white mist: "You are here."
After a closer look, they are all the same batch of dead test subjects in the laboratory as him, who have entered his dreams every night since he escaped from birth, disturbing his never-ending dream of peace.
Wearing white clothes in the laboratory, they numbered their faces sequentially and pushed Shi Zhou forward desperately:
"Look at it!"
"Why aren't you dead yet?"
"Yes, why are we all dead and you are not dead yet?"
Shi Zhou avoided their crowding hands, stared at them coldly with his eyes, extremely impatient with their touch: "I can bear the pain myself, why should I die?"
The crowd in white clothes was quiet for a long time, and they were clamoring and arguing but couldn't hear the specific content. The moment before they dissipated, they deliberately slammed into Shi Zhou, staggered Shi Zhou, and raised their heads when they stabilized their steps. One by one floated in front of them. The phantom is clearly displayed.
That was the picture of him getting along with these people after he came to Interstellar, rewinding the time and making him make another choice.
Shi Qing had a high fever due to an assassination, the wounds on his body were inflamed and rotted, his lips were chapped, and he might die at any time.
The voice was harsh: "Kill him, and you won't be a test subject, and you won't have to suffer from bone erosion pain!"
In the dark alley, Percy was dying. A group of hooligans mocked wantonly at his lowly blood and weak mental strength. The dagger in his hand was blood-stained and gleamed sharply.
The voice sneered: "If you don't save him, he will die here. You don't have to be a sharp knife in his hands, and you don't have to end up in pieces!"
The young, thin and vicious Anda was surrounded by servants in the palace, disgusted by his unsociable and decadent temperament, he tensed his toes and left undetectable dark wounds on his body.
The voice was angry: "Don't pay attention to him, his hands will be abolished by those servants, and everything will dissipate from the source."
Lance was decadent to the extreme, clutching a book to cover his face and weeping. Today is the anniversary of his mother's death, but his father criticized him in front of everyone. He regretted the existence of his son. Not a word of affirmation from my father.
The voice bewitched: "Humiliate him, and he will never recover from a setback. Even the pride of the royal family will be severely trampled!"
All the pictures stand still for a period of time, waiting for the next action.
When Shi Zhou stood in front of these pictures, the light and shadow in his eyes flickered, like a quietly flowing river.
Cause and effect traction, the source of everything spread out in front of him.
Some things, if they hadn't started at the beginning, wouldn't be in the current situation. If they were eliminated from the source, it would seem that there would be results easily.
The things in his memory are constantly being intercepted and magnified, Hulala turned back to the original starting point, waiting for him to live his life again.
Shi Zhou stood quietly, unmoved, blinking his sore eyes, his brain was having a headache because it was too late to process the huge amount of information.
With his hands behind his back, it was as if he was watching someone else's life.
Suddenly he moved, ran wildly and jumped into a picture without looking back.
This is a sunny park, connected to the road outside, the little girl hugged the ball and smiled sweetly. After throwing the ball high into the air, the ball rolled towards the road.
The sound of tires rubbing against cement floor particles when the vehicle braked suddenly, the screams of the girl's parents and the girl's crying sounded at the same time.
The girl raised her head with tears in her eyes, saw Shi Zhou's clean outline and gentle eyebrows, gradually forgot to cry, and wiped the dust on her face when Shi Zhou threw her to the ground with her little hand.
The girl's parents and the driver rushed to check the girl carefully. When they turned their heads to thank Shi Zhou, they found that the boy who had been there just now suddenly disappeared.
Shi Zhou walked in front of a person.
This person had exactly the same appearance as him, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment, kneeling on the ground, with bleeding marks on his palms, mixed with sand and gravel, which was terrible, and a wheelchair was tilted beside him.
This is him in the real world. He witnessed such an accident while relaxing in the park by accident. However, due to his poor health, his muscles did not atrophy when he stood up for a long time, and he fell to the ground just as he was about to stand up. I watched helplessly as the girl was deprived of a fresh life due to an accident.
If only I had a healthy body.
I can save her, I can avoid disaster.
At that time, he thought with regret that for a long time when he closed his eyes, there was blood spreading and loud crying.
That kind of thought was the reason why he agreed to the system to do the task.
Shi Zhou walked over, squatted down and looked at his past self, and the two pairs of foggy gray-blue eyes reflected each other's appearance——
One is immature and the other is more mature, but the years seem to have never changed.
He saw the transparent and clear relief and joy in the eyes of his past self, and grinned slightly.
The voice that dominated the illusion was sharp, out of breath, but full of deep doubts: "Why did you take action for unimportant things, but didn't solve your own demons?"
As if a drop of water fell into the calm water surface, all the pictures that were still at a certain point suddenly moved, and the sensual pictures spread like ripples.
At that time, Shi Zhou agreed to the system's mission and came to the current empire.
At that time, Zhou silently held the potion as he walked through the streets and alleys. The crowd carefully brewed a life-saving soup and waited for Shi Qing to survive the crisis of his life hanging by a thread.
At that time, Zhou rushed into the alley silently to stop the punches on Percy, pulled his arm around his shoulder and led him out of the predicament.
At that time, Zhou coughed lightly, causing the violent servants to panic and scatter, and then he quietly placed the food in his hand in front of Anda's door.
At that time, Zhou tilted his head, and finally chose to walk up to Lance, and handed him a handkerchief embroidered with honeysuckle.
Everything went on the same track as before, towards the ending I chose for myself.
Many people often hope that they can have the opportunity to rewind their lives, everything is brand new, and they can make current choices based on the future.
"I have a clear conscience." Shi Zhou looked at his past self who was brimming with joy at this moment, as if he was having a conversation, and also seemed to answer the previous question.
Regret needs to be filled, and he saves the girl.
At that time, several people really needed his help, and he made a choice that normal people would make under such circumstances.
There is no need to deny, no need to look back.The past is gone, his present and future will not change.
Si Zhou, who was sitting back in the wheelchair, smiled and took Shi Zhou's hand to take out the dagger hidden in his cuff, leading him to stab his heart fiercely.
The white light suddenly shattered into golden fragments and scattered on the ground, and the illusion collapsed layer by layer, showing its original appearance.
Shi Zhou held the dagger tightly and leaned forward, even though his sight had not yet fully recovered, he pierced straight into the pistil of the Mihun flower with the intuition honed thousands of times, breaking through the saw teeth that densely protect the flower heart, and pierced through to the end.Step on the ground with your toes, and pull up with your left hand, and the intricate rhizomes underground are connected to the mud and loosened and uprooted.
With a wave of his hand, he pulled up a whole plant of Mihunhua, poured blood-activating medicine into it, gurgled like the sound of boiling water, lit a small cluster of open flames and threw it on the flower, eliminating the last trace of its harm. sex.
[Kill the super mutant plant Ecstasy Flower, points * 30] The scoreboard that has not changed for a long time is refreshed.
[There are only two hours left before the end of the game. 】The system announced the curtain on time.
