Chapter 39

Bai Liu's figure completely disappeared under Mu Sicheng's crazy jump.

Mu Sicheng bit his fingernails and walked anxiously around the place where Bai Liu disappeared. He knelt down and brushed his hair a few times, bit the lollipop in his mouth, and finally he was so depressed that he gritted his teeth and said The icon of "Burst Last Train" on the screen followed Bai Liu into the game.

One second before entering the game, Mu Sicheng was still talking to himself depressingly: "Damn, Bai Liu made me curious too, I have never entered the second level game without making any preparations." !"

[The game "Burst Last Train" has gathered two players, and five players are needed to start]

Two minutes after Mu Sicheng disappeared, four players with almost the same height, figure, and appearance appeared outside the screen.

They all wear weird oil painting masks of puppetry on their faces. They walk like puppets on strings being led by someone. Every step has a strange sense of pause in the limbs and joints. It looks like it was made by a skilled craftsman. The four identical puppet toys, the difference is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

The leader, or the puppet, asked in a low tone: "Has Bai Liu entered this game?"

When this "puppet" spoke, its mouth moved up and down in a large arc, much like a puppet show pretending to move its lips under the string to speak, and the deep and hoarse voice came from the string puller behind him.

Another puppet with a butcher knife behind his back flashed a vengeful look in his eyes, and he bowed his hands respectfully and answered him: "Yes, Lord [String Puppeteer]."

"Is it "The Last Train"?" The ink eyes painted on the puppet's face narrowed realistically, and finally gave a wicked smile, "A level-2 game, it seems that even if I don't attack Bai Liu, Bai Liu is unlikely It’s a pity to die alive with such a high talent in this game, just to be my puppet.”

"Walk!"

The four puppets moved in a neat manner, clicked on the "Burst Last Train" on the screen, and disappeared at the login entrance in unison.

[The game "Burst Last Train" has gathered six players, and one more player is needed to start]

Wearing a pullover, wearing thick plain glasses, and holding a thick tome in his hand, a man who looked like a student appeared on the screen next to the login entrance.

His pair of square-rimmed glasses with thick beer bottle lids were so big that they covered half of his face. On the lower half of his face exposed by the glasses, there were scattered freckles on the bridge of the nose. If Bai Liu took a closer look, he might recognize this player as Jeref in "Siren Town".

But he looks weaker and normal than Jeff, and he looks like a normal student.

But this is in the game, a student dressed normally, looks surprisingly abnormal.

"Hey, let me see, which game should I choose..." The player pushed his glasses, looked closer to the screen as if wearing presbyopic glasses, and opened the management panel of his game manager while watching.

The personal panel on his game manager is impressively displayed:

[Player Name: Du Sanying]

[Today's Rising Star Ranking Ranking: 3rd place——you have surpassed Mu Sicheng, who is ranked fourth in the Rising Star Ranking, by 170,000 points. He will definitely not be able to catch up with you in the short term. Please make persistent efforts to widen the gap and catch up with the front player]

[Achievements obtained: The winner who has nothing to do, the only lucky one who survived, the player who was ignored by monsters for no reason, the fighter who always misses your attack]

[The items you bought in the game store are being discounted from 10,000 points to 1 point. Do you want to buy it? 】

[Congratulations to the player Du Sanying for winning the top player gift package with a winning rate of 1 in 100,000! Do you want to get it now? 】

...

Du Sanying seemed to be so used to these windfalls that he became numb. He didn't receive a single reward or gift. He crossed out these interfaces all the way to the personal panel on the last page. Du Sanying pushed his glasses , almost put his face on the panel and squinted his eyes to search for the panel information he wanted:

[Luck value: 100 (you are also the luckiest person in the world today, you are the darling favored by the god of luck, choose the game you want according to your intuition! You choose the one that will make you the luckiest!) 】

"Is the lucky value 100 today?" Du Sanying glanced at the entire screen hesitantly, "If that's the case, then it's better to choose according to your intuition, then—"

He glanced around, and finally his eyes fixed on the icon of "The Last Train Exploding". Du Sanying hung his hand above the icon, and a creepy premonition suddenly surged in his heart, as if clicking on this icon would happen very lucky It's a very unfortunate thing, this is the feeling that Du Sanying never had when choosing a game when his luck was 100%.

He used to have a certain feeling that he would be very lucky if he chose it. How does he feel that if he chooses this game this time, something will happen that will make him suffer a lot but at the same time make him very lucky...

This is all a mess, Du Sanying shook his head, hesitated for a long time, and clicked twice on the game icon of "Burst Last Train".

[The players of the game "Burst Last Train" are all collected, and the game begins——]

On the big screen, a [full] mark popped up in the lower right corner of the icon of the burning train in "The Last Train Exploding". The next second, Bai Liu opened his eyes at the crowded subway station.

At the same time, seven small TV screens lit up in the hall, and one of the small TVs showed Bai Liu's calm and calm face in a crowded subway station.

Standing in the lobby looking for Bai Liu, Wang Shun's game manager suddenly vibrated one after another:

[System prompt: The player Bai Liu, who has saved your small TV, has logged into the game~ Please go and watch~]

[System prompt: Mu Sicheng, a player you have collected a small TV...]

[System prompt: You have favorited... Player Zhang Puppet logs into the game...]

[System prompt: Your favorite... Du Sanying logs into the game...]

"No way..." Wang Shun fell into an unprecedented trance after checking the message reminder on his game manager, "This Nima, Bai Liu, the third and fourth star list, and the [String Puppet Master] actually Entering a multiplayer game, this is a fight between gods..."

———————

As soon as Bai Liu opened his eyes, he received a system reminder:

[Welcome players to "Burst Last Train"]

[You are a passenger, now, please use the tickets in your pockets, enter the station within ten minutes, and wait to board the last train that is about to explode]

Bai Liu reached into the pocket of his suit trousers, and took out a thin hard subway ticket, on which was written [Metro Line 4: Antique City → Antique City], Bai Liu raised his eyebrows in surprise. The departure station and destination station on the ticket actually have the same name, if it wasn’t for the fact that the two platforms had the same name...

Bai Liu turned his head and glanced at the inside of the subway station, trying to find the subway map in the station, and soon Bai Liu saw the map next to the ticket gate.

Line 4 is a very eye-catching red line, and Bai Liu immediately found this subway line from the line map.

"Sure enough, Line 4 is a closed-loop subway line." Bai Liu looked at the red Line 4 that circled the city clearly, "The starting station and the terminal station overlap, they are all the same, they are both This station is called Antique City."

Bai Liu wandered around in the subway station. Apart from reading a few more advertisements, he didn't find any other redundant information. The only thing he felt was a bit inconsistent was the design of the subway station. Generally speaking, there would be automatic escalator.

Generally speaking, for the convenience of passengers, the escalator at the exit should go up, while the escalator at the entrance should go down, but the design of the subway station here is reversed, which makes Bai Liu feel a little uncomfortable nature.

Another thing that made Bai Liu feel very strange - he glanced at the LED electronic clock hanging on the top of the subway station.

[07:34]

It seems quite normal, but Bai Liu looked at this time several times, and found that this time is not going forward, but going backward, Bai Liu's eyes blinked and it became [07:12], which made him He reacted quickly.

"This is a countdown clock, not a clock." Bai Liu was thoughtful, "And it looks like it's a countdown for me. I have six minutes left and I have to enter the station."

Even though there were only six or seven minutes left for the countdown, Bai Liu was not in a hurry. Once he left the subway station, he found that it was pitch black outside, with no sound, no light, nothing, and the passengers who walked out of the station into the darkness also disappeared. Bai Liu didn't try to go out, after turning back, he found that the countdown on the clock on the subway had changed to 【03:02】.

Bai Liu took a leisurely look at the map again. This time he focused on memorizing the names of the platforms on Line 4. The platform in front of [Antique City] is [Reservoir], and there is a platform called [Mirror Museum] almost a few platforms away. The platform caught Bai Liu's attention.

"The name of the Mirror Museum..." Bai Liu's eyes fell on it, and he fell into a memory that seemed to be enlightened, "Why do I feel like I've heard this name before..."

Bai Liu was recalling where he had heard this name before, when a male voice interrupted his memory: "Damn! Bai Liu! Why haven't you gone in yet!" Mu Sicheng looked back from the platform and saw a killer Te rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes at the subway map, and walked over speechlessly: "It's only a minute or so, what are you doing here? Do you remember the map?"

Bai Liu was not surprised that Mu Sicheng would chase him in. He glanced at the red LED light that had entered the countdown, said "huh" unhurriedly, and answered Mu Sicheng: "I was thinking, this place Have I been here..."

Mu Sicheng was startled: "Have you played this game before?" But soon he denied it, "Impossible, you are indeed a newcomer."

"Yes, I have never been to this place in the game." Bai Liu admitted.

Mu Sicheng frowned and looked at Bai Liu: "Then how could you have been to this place..."

"Just because I haven't been here in the game, doesn't mean I can't be here. I think I should have been here in reality." Bai Liu withdrew his gaze from the subway line.

"Reality?!" Mu Sicheng was startled, "Have you been to this subway station in reality? How do you know?"

"If I'm not wrong, this should be a horror game adapted from real events. Have you heard of [Mirror City Bombing]?"

"Just two thieves hid a bomb in an antique mirror, and when they were about to send it to the local museum, they robbed the museum with a bomb threat. As a result, the bomb went out of control on the way, and the entire subway exploded?"

Bai Liu chatted with Mu Sicheng while walking, he took out his ticket and made a [beep] at the entrance of the station, and entered the station smoothly: "I studied the distribution of subway stations and the subway map just now, this game is very likely to be It was designed based on the [Mirror City Explosion Case].”

"I've heard of it..." Mu Sicheng also took out his ticket and followed into the station, "But it's useless even if you know it, because the impact of that case is so important, and so far we don't know how the perpetrator hid the bomb in the mirror A lot of information about those who escaped the security check has not been released to the public.”

After Mu Sicheng's analysis, he spread his hands noncommittally and said mockingly: "Even if we know that the reference prototype of the game is this case, we still don't know anything about what will happen on the last train that is about to explode. We don't know the specific details. , I only know one source of inspiration, so it’s useless.”

"Maybe I really know what's going to happen on this train..." Bai Liu rubbed his nose and smiled kindly at Mu Sicheng, "I was on that subway that day, and I was on that train the day before the explosion. Get off at the station."

Mu Sicheng: "..."

Bai Liu innocently shrugged, and said kindly to the stunned Mu Sicheng, "Does this mean I have obtained important information to pass the game?"

"Of course, Mu Sicheng, I can tell you all the information I know, but I won't give it to you for free. If you don't believe me, you can verify whether what I said is true. I remember you have a tool that can detect lies."
