Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 4 The end at :
"This should be the place for the interview." Ruan Ningning looked around and observed the large blood stains on the ground.

A sharp fruit knife fell into a pool of blood.

Gu Ling coughed twice with guilt: "So, we have to wait here for the interviewer to show up now?" And then eat them all?

"The task is to 'pass the interview', so the game should also be a normal interview process." Cheng Qiu walked to the desk and opened Su Heng's resume with only his name written on it, "Start with this first?"

Gu Lingxin looked at the blank space on her resume and interrupted: "I've been wanting to ask since just now, why do you each have a resume?" If this is part of the game process, why doesn't she?

Several people looked at each other and then looked at the documents in their hands.

"Where did this stuff come from? I never had any intention of finding a job."

"It seems that we have been holding it since we entered the game..."

Gu Lingxin looked at the resumes in the hands of several people. Unlike Su Heng's blank resume, their resumes were very detailed and even included a large paragraph of rhetoric about planning their career development.

She was the only one left empty-handed, without any interview information.

Gu Ling thought for a while, reached out and took out a pen from the leather bag with a broken strap, took out an interview registration form from the drawer of his desk, and wrote his name in the name column at the top.

She casually glanced at the other columns, and suddenly stopped writing - the bottom column clearly read, Interview pass rate: 20%.

Su Heng also caught sight of this line of text next to her. He leaned forward quietly, letting his shadow cover most of the paper, and changed the subject: "What are we going to do now? Are we sitting here preparing questions and waiting for the interviewer?"

Yang Chengye raised his right hand and shouted: "Please wait a moment!"

Everyone was silent.

Does this use up the opportunity to ask questions?

A familiar female voice echoed in the midnight office: "Hello player, please inquire."

"Where is the interviewer?"

"It is currently non-working hours and the interviewer is resting in the staff dormitory. The questioning is over and the game continues."

Yang Chengye scratched his head and tried to ask: "Then, let's go to the staff dormitory now?"

"I suggest you don't go. The rule says 'non-working hours', which should mean that the pre-interview process has not been completed." Gu Lingxin shook her head. If the logic of this game world is smooth, then the interviewer is a ghost fire. That guy? What's the difference between going to him and delivering him luxury takeout?
Su Heng covered her blank resume on the interview registration form with Gu Lingxin's name on it, and then stuffed the two documents together to Gu Lingxin: "Please keep it for me."

At the same time, Ruan Ningning pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "But the time has not changed."

Everyone looked at it together. The clock was fixed at six forty, and the minute and second hands were motionless.

"Is the battery out?" Bell moved a chair and stacked it on the desk, then pushed the desk and chair to the wall, stepped on the chair to remove the clock, and showed the back of the clock to everyone, "Look, there is no Battery."

No, that's not right. Gu Lingxin realized that six forty was the time when the end came. On the other hand - this time represents the end.

Bell held the clock in his arms and supported the wall with one hand, planning to jump off the stacked chairs.

"Huh?" She looked back at the wall in confusion.

"Wait a minute-" Gu Lingxin wanted to stop her, but it was too late. The hard wall suddenly began to flow, constantly pulling Bell's hand inwards.

Bell's pupils shrank. She was shocked by the sudden change and lost her balance. After reacting, she threw the clock aside and struggled to pull her arm outwards.

"Use your power! Quick!!!" Gu Lingxin shouted again.

Without her reminding, Bell also subconsciously activated her awakening ability: [Crazy Transformation].

Her eyes were scarlet, and veins suddenly popped out on her slender and well-proportioned arms. Her muscles expanded rapidly, and the strength of her arms increased exponentially. She struggled desperately against the strange wall.

Using this ability is a bit like the process of mutating into an infected person. Gu Lingxin broke into a cold sweat as she thought of the sight of the will-o'-the-wisp turning into an infected person in front of her.

Finally, Bell screamed and pulled his hand out with brute force, but a large piece of flesh and blood in the palm of his hand had been torn off. The blood and flesh were rolled into the groove together, and the wall that had been full of food returned to being flat and smooth. .

Bell held his bloody hand, collapsed on the ground in exhaustion and fear, and said softly: "I don't feel anything."

"What did you say?" Yang Chengye asked in a loud voice.

"I said, I don't feel anything." Bell shook his right hand, which could see the bones of bones, and threw blood all over Yang Chengye.

"There are no feelings in the game?" Cheng Qiu guessed, but this guess was quickly denied by him - he pinched his arm and it hurt.

Gu Lingxin flipped up the resume and form in her hand, and the number in the "Interview Pass Rate" column changed to 40%.

If Bell hadn't had [Crazy Transformation], I'm afraid she would have been "eaten" by the wall at this time. Gu Ling understood clearly that other people had senses, but Bell did not. So it was not that there were no feelings in the game, but that Bell should be dead according to the logic of the game.

She got an additional message from this: when the doomsday comes, she will be eliminated.

So, from 20% to 100%, four players need to die in the game before she can get out?

Gu Lingxin felt goosebumps all over her body. Does anyone else know how to pass this level? Why did Su Heng help her cover up this data that could show the progress of the game?

"It's moving!" Ruan Ningning pointed at the clock that Bell had taken down just now.

The hands ran several times and then settled on nine forty.

Nothing happened.

"Wait until it changes to the interview time? Nine a.m.? Or ten a.m.?" Cheng Qiu took apart the clock casing and tried to move the pointer to fast forward the game.

After the hands turned clockwise a few times, the time was fixed at ten o'clock, and the surroundings suddenly darkened.

The office lights went out along with the street lights outside.

Rule 1: Don’t lose sight of other players.

This rule suddenly popped up in Gu Lingxin's mind. She shuddered and immediately released a fireball, using the firelight to observe the people around her. Cheng Qiu was the first to react and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. He didn't know what the situation was like in Yuan City outside, but in the "game", no matter how advanced a smartphone was, it could not receive a signal and could only serve as a flashlight and note-taking device. Book.

After everyone turned on their mobile phone screens, Gu Lingxin put away the fireball and glanced at the time Cheng Qiu finally adjusted to: ten o'clock sharp.

There was an occasional faint light flashing outside the window. Ruan Ningning leaned against the window and glanced outside. She looked unhappy: "Zombies..."

Gu Ling looked over and saw several infected people in humanoid form wandering downstairs. They did not rush to grab food just because there was human movement here. They wandered regularly in front of the office building, and a few infected people even fought. With flashlight.

Gu Lingxin breathed a sigh of relief. Facing all the unknown rules of the game, the infected were the least scary thing.

"I'll deal with them." Gu Lingxin said.

"Are you sure?" Yang Chengye asked.

Gu Lingxin glanced at him and said, "90% sure." She was not a hero, but for her who had successfully obtained [Fire] and had experience in using it in her lifetime, it was easier to deal with infected people in the early stage of mutation than to deal with them. It's easier to figure out game levels that are difficult to figure out.

"I'll go with you." Su Heng said suddenly.

Gu Lingxin glanced at him suspiciously, and Su Heng explained: "I suspect that when the rules say 'don't disappear from the sight of other players,' it means don't let us act alone."

Gu Lingxin wanted to say something else, but Su Heng added: "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble to you, but Heroine, can you go down the stairs?"

After thinking about it, Gu Ling nodded and followed Su Heng out of the office door.

She and Su Heng walked side by side in the corridor. When they were far away from the others, she asked softly: "What do you want to say when you lure me out alone?"

After a brief silence, Su Heng slowed down and flicked the two interview materials in Gu Lingxin's hand with his knuckles. "Only two people can get out of this game, and everyone else will die."

"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity." Gu Lingxin answered ambiguously.

"Looking at your reaction, have you guessed this?" Su Heng smiled, "Every time the interview pass rate increases by 20%, every time it increases, one person will stay in the game forever - becoming an NPC."

"It's not a puzzle game or a role-playing game. The conditions for passing the level are very simple. Each level is the same - as long as someone dies, the rest will enter the remaining levels."

Gu Lingxin stopped and asked, "If I kill you now, you can move on to the next level, right?"

Su Heng didn't take her threat to heart: "You can give it a try."

Gu Lingxin snorted coldly, "'Don't disappear in the sight of other players', that's what it means on the surface. You deliberately induced others to misinterpret the rules. You want to use the rules to kill them all after we leave, right?" "

Su Heng glanced at her in surprise.

Gu Lingxin read something was wrong from his eyes. She was just teasing, but looking at Su Heng's expression, she seemed to have guessed it.

She asked: "Is this really your plan?"

"You will get out alive." Su Heng did not respond directly, "The result of everyone trying to save us is that everyone will die."

You're going to call me Holy Mother in a roundabout way, right? Gu Lingxin rolled her eyes at him. After struggling for three years in the last days, she had long known the principle of ensuring her own safety first when she had no remaining energy.

She had such a big reaction just now, not because she panicked when she learned that Su Heng planned to kill four other people, but because Su Heng in this life was different from the previous one.

She had no major interaction with Su Heng in her previous life. When the official list of awakened people sent to search and rescue survivors was announced, there were also some humans on the forum who had entered the safe station to watch the fun. Su Heng's ability could not fight the infected. , but according to official records, he saved the most people among all awakened people. At that time, all discussions about Su Heng were full of doubts.

At that time, she had already used "Re-Engraving" to come into contact with many different awakening abilities. As long as they were used properly, every ability was of great use, and it was by no means as simple as it seemed. So she severely criticized the group of people who mocked Su Heng on the forum, and was once regarded as an official troll.

But Su Heng later calmed everyone's emotions on the forum and did not get angry because of some radical remarks. He also said that he would do his best to save every surviving human being. At the same time, he also privately chatted with Gu Lingxin to thank her for her work for him. say.

So in Gu Lingxin's impression, Su Heng should be a gentle and kind person. Why did he end up killing everyone else in this life?
While thinking, the two of them had already walked downstairs, and the infected with flashlights came towards them. Gu Lingxin raised her hand, and a wall of fire rose from the ground, separating the two from the infected.

But as if they didn't know the pain, they kept rushing toward the fire. The crackling sound of burning flesh and the smell of burning pervaded everywhere, but the burnt wounds quickly grew new flesh and blood.

One after another, there is no end.

Gu Lingxin carefully maintained the form of the fire wall, but the [Fire] out of control like in the previous life did not happen. The burning and beating of every flame was under her control.

"If no player is out, they will not die." Su Heng looked at this scene and reminded.

Needless to say, Gu Lingxin also realized this, but instead of exhausting herself in the endless tide of corpses, she chose another path - she used her right hand attached with flames to attack Su Heng at extremely fast speeds. 's throat.

Su Heng was worthy of being one of the top Awakened Ones in his previous life. He was very thoughtful. He revealed to her the hidden rules of the game to pass a level to the death, and at the same time used this as an excuse to lure her out alone, hoping to take advantage of the infection that appeared in this level. They exhausted her to the point of exhaustion.

She just thought about killing the infected first, and didn't think of this for a moment.

Bell is "dead", and Su Heng has concealed the fact that he is an awakened person from other players. If Gu Lingxin fails in this level, then Su Heng will be the only awakened person left in the game. Killing others will be a big step for him. easy.

Although she didn't know what Su Heng's strange ability was for, if someone had to die at this level, she might as well strike first.

The fire stayed on Su Heng's neck, and the hot air rushed towards him, making him squint his eyes.

No matter how Gu Lingxin controlled it, the scorching flames could no longer move forward.

"Players please abide by the rules of the game and pass the level together with other players." A female voice sounded at an inappropriate time.

Gu Lingxin retracted her hand.

"You are quite vigilant." Su Heng looked at her helplessly, "But what I just said was the truth, and I will let you get out alive."

Gu Lingxin raised her foot and kicked hard on the forehead of an infected person who stuck his head into the fire wall and tried to get in. The guy immediately flew out - "To put it nicely, we have only known each other for less than an hour. Will you sacrifice yourself to let me pass the level?"

"Sacrifice yourself?" Su Heng stood among the hunting fireworks with a blank look on his face. "Aren't there two people who can pass the level?"

Gu Lingxin shook her head and did not answer the question. She is a homebody, and she usually plays stand-alone games to break through levels and decrypt the puzzles. However, the "game" in front of her is not about stand-alone decryption, but the confrontation between players.
