Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 7 Did God let her live just to die again?

Gu Lingxin took a deep breath. The game's clearance method was very simple. Only when the player dies will the level advance. Like Bell, being locked by a level but relying on his abilities to escape will also be defined as death.

And when there are enough players left, the interview can begin.

The interviewer is a will-o'-the-wisp, and the interview content is to defeat the will-o'-the-wisp.

She was initially misled by the interview registration form with the numbers increasing in an orderly manner. The remaining one person was not a condition for completing the task as stated in the rules. No matter how many people were left, there was only one condition for passing the interview: defeating the will-o'-the-wisp.

In other words, it is wrong to guess that only two people, or one person, can get out alive.

In addition to successfully completing the game, it is possible to fail. Perhaps no one would survive. And the latter may be larger.

Rules must tell the truth, but they can also be misleading.

When Yang Chengye asked a question, the rule said that "non-working hours" did not mean that the final process could not be carried out directly. It was to guide them to reduce the number of people in other levels first, so as to prevent the players participating in the game from having multiple powerful awakened ones and attacking directly. Customs clearance situation.

After sorting through the information in his mind, Gu Lingxin came to two conclusions. First, the rules themselves do not know the strength of the players. To prevent this, a level is set before the final boss until the number of players decreases. Judging from the player configuration of this game, no one has the ability to defeat the will-o'-the-wisp, but the rules still imply that they proceed to other levels first, which is a good confirmation of this point.

The second conclusion is that the game should be someone's awakening ability, and besides the game she is in, there should be other games in the outside world, and the time in the game is chaotic. The end has just arrived, and Ruan Ningning is involved in the game. , and has failed and become an NPC in this game. Therefore, the owner of this ability cannot fully control the game process.

The will-o'-the-wisp roared and spit out a large flame. Gu Lingxin gathered the flames and counterattacked in the same way. Sparks flew everywhere, and the interview registration form on the ground was stained with sparks and burned.

Neither party had any intention of stopping. The flames spattered on the curtains and scattered documents, and the whole room burned. The air was compressed by the extremely high temperature, creating ripples. The girl's hair was stirred by the heat wave, and sounded in her ears. Side swaying.

Invisible vortexes of heat were flying at high speed in the small space. In the end, Gu Lingxin and Ghost Huo each staggered half a step back. However, the girl's skin was fair and delicate, unlike in her previous life, which had been roughened by the doomsday and overheated. The temperature caused large pink blisters on her forearms, as if they had been burned by fire.

Gu Lingxin took a deep breath, but she didn't inhale any fresh air. The hot air poured into her body along her nose, and she didn't feel very comfortable.

She suddenly remembered that when she was about to die in her previous life, there was such a sea of ​​​​fire.

Did God let her live just to die again?
Gu Lingxin straightened her body, and the fighting spirit in her eyes grew stronger. She had already killed the will-o'-the-wisp twice. No matter how strong the rules made him, she didn't want to lose this third time.

The flames condensed again, and the two fire pillars approached the face of the will-o'-the-wisp, like two hunting snakes.

The abilities she had collected in this life were too few. Will-o'-the-wisp had a natural immunity to high temperatures, and the impact of the flames could only slightly scratch his skin. He didn't even need to put in any effort, just waved his hand and defused Gu Lingxin's skin. offensive.

The high temperature gave Gu Ling a headache. She gave up the idea of ​​attacking with fire and raised her fist to face the huge body of the will-o'-the-wisp.

But this method didn't work very well. The body of the ghost fire was like a hill, and Gu Lingxin was knocked away by him the moment they clashed with it.

With a "boom", Gu Lingxin was knocked down in front of the burning filing cabinet. The flames burned through her clothes and licked her back. The sharp wooden thorns pierced her waist and arms. She was like a thrown The firewood that enters the bottom of the stove will be burned and broken the next moment.

The will-o'-the-wisp opened its bloody mouth and bit her shoulder.

[Awakening ability: Devour]

Awakened people with powerful abilities are his best food. Cheng Qiu, who was dying by the wall, moved his fingers with difficulty, and against the choking smoke, he made a voice from his throat: "Please... wait a moment..."

The movement of the will-o'-the-wisp was frozen in place, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. The female voice was like cold and deep well water, lying on the sky above the burned small world——

"Hello player, please inquire."

Cheng Qiu was extremely weak. He felt that his blood was about to run out. Pain and dizziness came up at the same time. His voice was dry and hoarse, and the words were beating in his throat, making it impossible to piece together a complete sentence.

Gu Lingxin recovered quickly. Taking advantage of Cheng Qiu's difficulty in articulating words, she ducked behind the "suspended" will-o'-the-wisp and picked up the blood-stained fruit knife from the chaotic ground - when she had just been reborn. , stabbed the will-o'-the-wisp into the chest with this knife.

She picked up the knife. Compared with the current will-o'-the-wisp, this knife was like an inconspicuous thorn, and it might not even be able to penetrate his skin.

But this is the gaming world.

This game has some logic, but not much.

Gu Lingxin glanced at the stopped will-o'-the-wisp and Cheng Qiu, who was dawdling for a long time not knowing what to say. Is this a bug? Regardless of the game progress, when a player asks a question about a rule, the game will pause until the answer is completed.

She held the knife with both hands and stabbed the will-o'-the-wisp in the back.

"Poof!" The knife sliced ​​through the hard skin easily, and blood as hot as magma spurted out - just like the scene when she killed the will-o'-the-wisp in the real world a few hours ago.

The will-o'-the-wisp still maintained the posture of attacking forward, but his blood had dried up, and the huge heart in his chest was slashed to pieces by Gu Lingxin's blade.

In the end, Cheng Qiu couldn't hold on any longer. Blood poured from the back of his mouth into his trachea, but he no longer had the strength to cough. He could only utter a few indistinct words from his mouth: "No...problem..."

"Ask timed out, game continues."

The stagnant time began to flow again, and Cheng Qiu closed his eyes in the scorching sea of ​​fire.

The will-o'-the-wisp's body collapsed, and the burning wooden desk collapsed on top of him, burying him in the middle of the fire.

"Passed the interview. Congratulations to the player for successfully passing the level. The game is over." The charming voice sounded again.

The scene in front of me gradually blurred, the pain gradually disappeared, and my body became healthy and energetic again. In her unclear vision, Xin Chang's figure slowly walked towards her. Gu Lingxin narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth to Su Heng's figure, "You..."

……

The firelight in front of her dissipated, and the warm sunlight shone through the windows in the exquisitely decorated office building. The girl stood in front of the desk, staring at the empty room in a daze.

All kinds of documents are neatly stacked in the cabinet, and the neatly packed briefcase is placed on the table, waiting to be taken home after clocking in from get off work. The strapless leather bag was thrown aside casually. Large gray-brown dried blood stains were spread on the ground. A small fruit knife fell into the blood stains.
