Suspended Life Game

Shen Mu walked into the room. Du Xiulin was still sitting on the bed with a smile on her face, but her body was motionless and did not mean to speak.

At this time, Du Xiulin seemed a little different from what he had seen before. Shen Mu's eyes fell on Du Xiulin's body, and he responded with a smile. Although he smiled like a spring breeze, he did not speak.

"Click" Yan Yuze closed the door, and the snap lock made a crisp sound, and some subtle atmosphere was broken at this instant. Yan Yuze walked into the room and said casually, "What's wrong? Don't you want to talk about the rules of the game, don't talk?"

After speaking, he did not wait for a response, but went to the window and picked up a glass of water there. With his long fingers holding the glass, Yan Yuze casually looked out the window while drinking water.

Looking at Du Xiulin sitting on the bed and Yan Yuze standing by the window, Shen Mu went straight to the topic: "Did the two have encountered other players on the way? I mean the other three of the 15 players who were eliminated. "

"No encounter." Yan Yuze drank the water, and the glass was spinning in his fingers like a pen.

"Neither do I." Du Xiulin took off his glasses and said a few shakes. At this time, Du Xiulin seemed to change back to the gentle and elegant look in Shen Mu's previous impression. Just now Du Xiulin gave Shen Mu a faint feeling. As he spoke, the feeling disappeared.

"Don't you think it strange?" Shen Mu watched Du Xiulin's movement of throwing her glasses, and suddenly reacted. She left the topic that she wanted to say for a while, "why can glasses be kept?"

The clothing of each game of this game is systematically configured. Except for the red bead, everything else on Shen Mu's body is issued by the system, what clothes, mobile phone.

Yan Yuze also hesitated for a moment. His eyesight is 20. He has seen more people wearing glasses from outside. It is commonplace to wear glasses subconsciously. I have been in the game for a while and I do n’t think there is anything wrong.

Du Xiulin thought about this problem, and at this time was slowly returning the glasses to the bridge of the nose: "I noticed this problem. Did you notice? Not only the glasses, the hairstyle is also reserved." Du Xiulin pushed the glasses again, finally It adjusted to a comfortable position, and then said, "Not to say the lion head like No. 7, but to the little sister like No. 9 who has been ponytailed, and No. 10 is also ponytailed, their hair ring It ’s all retained like glasses, or is it hair tied in air? ”

"..." Shen Mu was speechless for a while, and she hadn't noticed anything so obvious before.

"Actually, I did research on this." Du Xiulin suddenly said that he slowly spread out his palms, and the room was not large. Although Shen Mu was standing in the middle of the room, he could clearly see a light-colored scar on his palms. .

"Self-harm is very suitable for you." Yan Yuze apparently noticed the scratches on Du Xiulin's palm, apparently scratched with a blade.

Du Xiulin's mouth was slightly hooked, and instead of taking Yan Yuze's provocation as he said before, he went on to say: "This is what I scratched before entering the game. The injured state is also brought to the game. Although in reality The body is not brought into the game, but the state of the body in the game is completely 'custom', imitating the state of the body in reality. My understanding is that the scar was judged to be a kind of state, and the sick, including drunk, were also Judgment is a kind of physical state. "At this point, Du Xiulin stopped. At this moment, Shen Mu remembered what Xie You had told him before, that Du Xiulin came with Yunhui Ru.

Sure enough, Du Xiulin went on to say: "On the way, I met No. 5 who was out on the first night. She was not drunk at the time. Therefore, you can be sure that the state of being drunk, sick or injured will be brought into the game. "

Shen Mu's eyes flickered slightly. 'First night out', Du Xiulin said that the content of the game was safe. Of course, the first night out on the 5th is a definite message that everyone knows. Saying this is not considered off-site and cheating. No one answered this sentence, nor did it constitute 'discussing the content of the game outside of discussion time'.

Regarding the rules of the game, Shen Mu has kept in mind:

‘No one is allowed to cheat, including but not limited to interoperability, talking about games outside of the discussion’

Watching Du Xiulin push his glasses habitually, what Shen Mu felt concerned about was that he knew this, had absolute confidence, and completely controlled his speech within the rules-or did he really speak unconsciously? .

Du Xiulin said: "So I think the characteristics of the head like glasses and hairstyles are also classified as one of physical conditions, like being sick, drunk, or injured."

The head can be cut off, the blood can flow, and the hairstyle must not be messed up. Shen Mu's lips were slightly raised. I don't know if the system of the suspension game is a living creature with the same thinking ability as a human or a dead creature like a computer program. But it doesn't matter.

"One more thing, did you notice it?" A lot of thoughts suddenly turned into her mind, but Shen Mu continued to talk about Du Xiulin, "As far as the players of the suspension game I met, most of them were about 20 years old. Young people, less than 10 years old and more than 30 years old, seem to be few, and older people, I have not encountered them at all. Of course, this is only the first game, and the amount of information is not enough. "

"This has something to do with the rules of the game itself." Yan Yuze said indifferently. "If you lose, you will sleep for a few years, and then you will sleep for decades. Werewolf killing. Is n’t this much like a college exam? The hover game is like a university. In addition to the hover game, there may be life games, desperate games, like a workplace or a primary school. The rules for selecting different games are different. "

Shen Mu nodded slightly, and Yan Yuze's metaphor was vivid, although speculative, it really made sense.

Yan Yuze also said, "Moreover, this doesn't matter. It's already irresistible. What is it? Why is it not important?"

"What's important is" how to do it? "" Du Xiulin chuckled. "Although the suspension game is unfair in some sense, such as retaining the sick and injured state of the weak. However," Du Xiulin's eyes flashed, smiling The intention is to become a little fuzzy after the lens, "How can there be absolutely fair. Besides, won't it be possible to achieve a wish in the end? All challenges are opportunities, and suspension games have forbidden cheating to the greatest extent possible. , To ensure the fun of the game itself, and ... fair. "At the end, Du Xiulin's smile is even more ambiguous:" So-called weak people, wherever they are weak people. "

"Yo, is Mr. Du pretending to be nice?"

It seems that he did not hear the irony in Yan Yuze's words, Du Xiulin chuckled: "I have always been like this." After speaking, the words turned around, no longer accepting Yan Yuze's words, but suddenly said to Shen Mu: "If you guessed right, 2 No. On your way, did you meet the eliminated player? "

"There is one." Pulling the topic back to the original question that she wanted to discuss, Shen Mu said strangely, "Don't you find it strange? Although 15 players are prepared, if more than 3 players are damaged, On the way, wouldn't it be enough for 12 players? "Although she had her own speculation in her heart, Shen Mu only threw out the problem.

"The game does not stipulate how long it will take to come to the meeting place. Then there are three possibilities." Du Xiulin said while thinking. "One is if there have been players who have been late, but these players are still alive, Then the system will either let us wait until 12 people get together ... or wait for someone to die. Second, there is a hidden time point limit. After reaching a certain point in time, if there are still players who have not arrived, then they have not arrived. Players are eliminated directly. As for what little people do, this is similar to the third situation. "

"The third scenario is when more than 3 players are dead before they come to the game meeting point. Of course, it will never be enough for 12 people. In this case, I think the system will assign new players to come in. Although sleeping Players have to sleep enough years to participate in the next game, but I think that in the case of years, if the player needs to wake up in advance, the system will let the player enter the game in advance, and some differences in the number of days can be ignored . "

Du Xiulin's analysis was reasonable and reasonable, but Shen Mu thought of another question: "what's the date when you entered the game? What are the specifics, remember?"

"Zero on November 10, 2019."

"same."

"Me too." Shen Mu nodded and asked, "What about the preliminaries? I was two days ago, the 8th."

Yan Yuze: "Five days ago."

Du Xiulin: "Thirteen days ago."

As soon as this remark was made, all three were a little surprised. The preliminaries are at different times, but the notification time for the official matches is the same.

"Our group of players, I don't know how many there are, but I'm afraid they will be bound." Shen Mu looked at the sunlight outside the window, and said something a little bit dreamy.

'Player Shen Mu ’s first round of games will start at 00:00 on November 10, 2019 in the real world. The second round of games will start about a week after the first round ends, and the third round of games will end about two weeks after the second round. After the start, and so on. The time velocity in the game world and the time velocity in the real world is 100: 1 ’

Based on the overall rules of the hover game, all players with the same time in the first round will have the same time in each subsequent round. Then it can be judged that in a certain time domain, the players participating in the preliminaries are the same group of players, which is probably equivalent to the candidates of this session. Although the reporting time is different and the test room allocation may be random each time, the test time must be the same.

After discussion, it seems to be the case. However, Shen Mu had other thoughts and speculations about the distribution of players in each round, but he did not mention them here. Although it has not been discussed, Shen Mu is certain that An Yu must know about these, and also know more issues that have not been thought of for the time being.

These questions, Shen Mu is not really anxious to know the answer. As Yan Yuze said, in the case of 'what' has been nailed down, even if 'why' is impossible to change, the consideration is 'how to do', and Not 'why'.

The scene fell into silence for a while. Looking at Du Xiulin who was not talking, Shen Mu felt the weirdness when she first entered the house. She had exchanged a lot of information. Shen Mu had no intention of staying for a long time. As a "prophet", she should visit. Take a look at other players, such as "looking like a wolf, may also be the little sister who really speaks badly No. 9".
