I rely on copies to build infrastructure

Aga screamed and ran away.

The rest of the teenagers felt sorry for each other, and their faces showed a bit of timidity.

The teenagers really didn't expect that the "trash" who has always been submissive would actually resist sometimes, and he shot without reservation, and even injured a companion.

Edmund touched his face.

He didn't think he couldn't beat that trash. According to common sense, people with good looks would be excellent in all indicators, including physical strength and reaction ability.

What's more, there are so many of them, one person can beat that kid half to death with one punch.

But, who is willing to take the risk of disfigurement to provoke a desperado?

The life of a waste is worthless, but if one's face is broken, one's life will be ruined, so it's not worth it.

Thinking of this, the feeling of retreat became stronger, and he hastily threw down a few symbolic cruel words. None of the young people wanted to stay longer, and soon they parted.

Qin Lu looked up at the sky.

It is still square, the sky covered by tall walls.Today's sky is very blue, the sun is a bit dazzling, and the temperature of the wind blowing on the face is chilling.

The sun cannot be seen in the shelter, and the weather can only be perceived through changes in light.The sun never crossed the little square of sky above their heads, as if this was a forgotten corner of the world that deserved only some residual heat.

Qin Lu retracted his gaze, and suddenly caught sight of a figure.

Before the brain could react, the body had already acted first, and the familiar name blurted out.

"Slow blade!"

The man stopped, turned around, and blinked his brown eyes.

"you know me?"

When he said this, Qin Lu was slightly taken aback.

"I……"

He paused, and the memory in his mind gradually became clear.

"I know you."

He said softly, slightly closing his eyebrows, but his footsteps unconsciously leaned over.

"Didn't you finish your mission?"

"what?"

The man was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes were stained with a layer of vigilance.

"who are you?"

"You don't remember me."

Qin Lu frowned slightly.

He was sure he was not mistaken.

Chi Ren's smell is very special, like the faint rosin in the snow, even if it is submerged in the filth and stench, it is particularly eye-catching, making him feel comfortable and calm.

It's not normal that they separated only last night, but they have no memory at all after one night.

That's right, since waking up this morning, many things have deviated from his memory.

For example, the weird performance of administrator 219, and Otto who disappeared out of thin air, the world returned to the starting point of the cycle, but deviated from the original track.

"This, you gave it to me, do you remember?"

Qin Lu took out the gray card and asked softly.

Chi Ren's eyes scanned the card, paused, and tentatively reached out to take it.

The touch is extremely familiar, exactly the same as the cards in his hand.

Turning over the front, the word "bubble" gleaming on it made Chi Ren's pupils constrict for a moment.

bubble? !He has this card too!

Subconsciously, he began to rummage through his card slots, only to find that one was missing, and the "bubble" that was originally classified as a dungeon card was gone!

"You said... I gave this to you?"

Chi Ren's complexion was a little bad.It was only half an hour after he entered the copy area, the card in his hand not only disappeared out of thin air, but also appeared in the hands of an NPC, how is this possible?

"it is true."

Qin Lu said calmly.

"If you don't believe me, you can check the cooldown time of the card. You gave it to me at seven o'clock last night. I used it at twelve o'clock midnight. It's still 07:30 in the morning, and the cooldown time is 160.5 hours."

He said it with certainty, and couldn't help but hesitate to believe it.

What's more, this kind of thing is also easy to verify. The cooling time is displayed on the "bubble", so there is no way to lie.

"You are also a player?"

Chi Ren asked.

He had a bit of indigestion when he received such a large amount of messages just after entering the instance.

But one thing he can be sure of is that only the player can use the item card, and the NPC in the dungeon cannot activate the card function and view the cooling information inside.

So the person in front of him is not a resident of the original world, but a player with the same identity as himself!

Now, the confused person was replaced by Qin Lu.

"Player? What's that?"

He frowned, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

"Do you think this is a game?"

Unexpectedly, the other party actually nodded.

"That's right, it's the game."

Chi Ren had a natural look on his face.

I don't know why, but he just trusts this unknown guy very much.Even though he had only entered the dungeon less than half an hour ago, even though he was sure he hadn't seen the person opposite him at the player drop point, but there was no reason, he believed every word he said.

It's as if... There is some kind of connection in the dark, pulling him to this corner, the trajectory coincides with the same point, and they are destined to meet.

Not to mention, he also showed "bubbles".

"What's your name?"

Chi Ren asked.

"Qin Lu."

Qin Lu thought for a while, and added half a sentence by accident.

"Fawn's deer."

"Well."

Chi Ren hesitated for a moment.

He always felt that the name "Little Deer" seemed to have been heard somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

However, this is a very pleasing name, and it has a kind of cordial feeling when it is heard.

"My name is Chi Ren, the blade of the blade, and I am late. You said you met me last night, can you tell me about the situation at that time in detail?"

Qin Lu nodded.

He quickly sorted out the timeline, briefly introduced the past few days to him, and focused on the process from discovery to departure yesterday.

At the end, he added another sentence.

"I don't have much impression of what happened next, but it didn't seem to affect you when I was found out. It stands to reason that you should have left."

"I don't know why, you went back to the shelter today."

Chi Ren was surprised to hear that.

He has no impression of these at all, he only knows that he is a player in a certain dungeon of life and death, and he can only pass the level after completing the mission circle, and this shelter is his first mission point.

"You said that I gave you the card yesterday... But, I don't have any memory at all! I remember I just entered the instance for half an hour..."

Chi Ren opened his eyes wide with a sigh of relief.

"If you hadn't taken out the bubble card, and my bubble card just disappeared, I doubt that the one you saw was me in parallel time and space."

Hearing what he said, Qin Lu shook his head.

"It's you, yes, not parallel time and space."

He didn't know how he understood the meaning of "parallel time and space", but now is not a good time to delve into it, and he still needs to solve the current confusion.

"Our memories have all been changed, and now it is likely that a new cycle has been restarted, returning to the timeline of the first day."

Then, he told all the anomalies he had discovered so far, without reservation at all, and also included his own guesses.

"Oh my God!"

Now, Chi Ren took a deep breath.

"According to what you said, we are reloading the file."

Immediately, he shook his head again.

"If it's the second episode, then the plot and characters should be exactly the same as before."

"But you also said that the people you remember don't exist in this shelter. This logic doesn't make sense."

"make sense."

Qin Lu nodded.

"The plot is the same, and the roles of the characters are also the same, but the person who plays the role can be different."

"Otto and Edmund, to others, are only different in name and appearance, and their positions are the top boarders in this shelter. There needs to be such a person here, as for Otto who is missing a foot It doesn't matter whether Thor or Edmund with two heads."

"What about Otto from the previous round?"

Chi Ren asked.

"Dead, or exiled."

Qin Lu's expression was cold.

"The replacement is because he no longer has the qualifications required for the role, so this position now belongs to Edmund."

He spoke rationally, bordering on cruelty.

But Chi Ren had to admit that this was indeed the most reasonable conclusion.

He nodded.

"understood."

"The script hasn't changed, but the actors have been replaced. So there's a discrepancy between your memory and reality."

"This dungeon is really troublesome. It will instill false memories in the player and block the key information obtained in the previous round at the beginning of each round."

"So what is our mission? Escape from this shelter?"

Escape from the shelter?

Qin Lu repeated Chi Ren's words, and a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.

He was dragged back to the dormitory in Area C, and thrown into that cramped and cold garbage room.

When he came back, the entire corridor in Area C was glowing red.He couldn't find a source of light, and only looked at the reflection of the mirror next to the wall, as if there was some special frequency.

In his ear, Chi Ren continued to reason.

"So we are all players, but we were sent to different places. I received a task as soon as I entered the instance. I was asked to complete the preparations for this year's "Tianmei" system rating as a PV group evaluator. The task period is seven days."

"You said that my last round was the shelter that I left on the night of the sixth day, that is to say, you have already spent one round here. But you still don't know your mission, and you don't realize your identity , you have been instilled with the memory of the copy NPC, if you don’t wake up, you will live here forever in the way you remember.”

"In the last round, when you found a flaw in your memory, the shelter didn't respond. Instead, you were instructed after breaking the cognitive rules. This shows that the world view of the copy cannot be destroyed, at least not in public. The people in the dungeon found out. But why did I go back to the first day of the second week? Obviously you said that I left last night..."

Having said that, he stroked his chin, and hesitation appeared on his delicate face.

"If you speculate like this, then my mission...my real mission is not to find all these players who are mixed in the NPC group of the instance, and then pack them up and take them away together!?"
