Chapter 2
Chapter 2
——Am I dead?
Su Ming'an's heart was still pounding, and the powerless sense of death was still there. He found himself floating in a void.
He can feel the physiological fear, which is the fear and clamor of death in the cells of the whole body. Death is a terrible thing for man.
"Just heard a sentence - 'the game begins'?" Su Mingan said to himself: "What is the game...?"
Obviously, the moment he stepped out of the coffee shop, he was pulled from reality into a certain game. He is not clear about the purpose and source of this game for the time being, but his victory condition should be "dodge Shen Xue's attack", or "reverse kill Shen Xue", at least to ensure that he survives.
Logically speaking, he should have been killed. But now that he was dead, two pictures appeared in front of him.
One is a picture of him standing on the side of the street in the afternoon, and the text on the picture is [archive time point 1 afternoon on the street].
One is the picture of a dark room at night, and the text on the picture is [archive time point 2 · night room].
Su Mingan's finger tentatively clicked on 【Save time point 2 Night room】
...
He opened his eyes.
The vision in front of him was still a little blurry, Shen Xue was looking at him with a smile, with a snack in her hand. This was half an hour ago, and he was in Shen Xue's room.
He seems to have the ability to read files. After death, after selecting the corresponding time point, he can return to the previous time point.
He doesn't know why his daily life has become like this, but he must survive to know more information-he needs to avoid this girl who is about to kill him at every turn.
"Game?" Su Mingan took the snack, whispered tentatively, and heard the system prompt:
[Hint 01: You are currently in the World Game Novice level. 】
[Hint 02: Current goal: survive]
[Reminder 03: You have triggered the clue mechanism, you can look for clues, change your actions, and achieve different plot endings! 】
[Hint 04: The currently achievable plot endings:
HE (Happy Ending): Angel Heart
TE (True Ending): She who disappeared
NE (Normal Ending): Two Hearts]
...It really is a game.
Looking at the text introduction, this is the "novice level", and he is still confused.
Then, once the "novice level" is passed, it should be the so-called "Opening Ceremony of the One Billion Human World Game", where specific rules should be explained. There should be an explanation for his inexplicable start of a game.
"Have some snacks, come on, ah—" Shen Xue smiled.
But when Su Mingan looked at her, he saw the text appearing in his vision:
【*Acquire clue 3. Strange bulge】
[(strange bulge): I noticed that the corners of the girl's skirt in front of me were bulging...what was hiding? I'm curious about this. 】
【Clearance progress: 10%】
[Clues have been recorded in the clue column and can be viewed at any time. 】
...
A [Clue] section appeared in the lower right corner of Su Mingan's field of vision. As soon as the consciousness moves, it can be opened, and the clues placed inside can be seen.
He put down his snack: "I'm going to the bathroom."
First of all, Shen Xue's skirt was bulging, obviously hiding the stun spray. Secondly, her relative Liu Anna is still in the kitchen, and she is at an away disadvantage. He needs to find a space that isolates the opponent's line of sight.
He got up and walked towards the locked room. When passing the hanger, he saw a snow-white overalls on the hanger with a hang tag on it.
【*Clue 2 obtained · Vice President of the Academy of Sciences · Liu Anna】
[(identity name tag): "The main person in charge of double heart surgery Liu Anna"]
【Clearance progress: 20%】
...
He suddenly smelled a strange smell, which went straight into his nose.
【*Get the clue 3. Formalin】
[(Formalin): Why does Shen Xue's house... have the smell of formalin? Could it be... She also likes to eat with formalin as a side dish? 】
[Term definition: 35%-45% formaldehyde solution, colorless and transparent in appearance, corrosive, widely used, and also used for embalming corpses. 】
【Clearance progress: 30%】
Su Mingan quickly entered the bathroom and locked the door. The height of the window is not high. Shen Xue's home is on the second floor. He jumped from the window to escape, and he should not be seriously injured.
He was stepping on the tiles, his body was hanging on the edge of the window, but his feet suddenly touched something.
...has a hidden grid?
Su Mingan stopped climbing over the window and opened the hidden compartment under the tiles.
He found a pile of surgical instruments, anesthetics and other items packed in a toolbox, as well as a diagnosis notice.
【The First People's Hospital of Xiaoshuo:】
[Patient Shen Xue is currently receiving intermittent treatment in our hospital. Although he is actively treating him, his condition is getting worse, so a critical illness notice is hereby issued. 】
[I hereby inform you of the possible consequences...]
【…】
【...In summary, the patient voluntarily gave up chemotherapy and went through the discharge procedures. 】
[Patient's signature: Shen Xue]
...
A short notice of diagnosis.
Su Mingan looked at this thin piece of paper, his hands were trembling.
...So it is.
Because the terminal illness was at an advanced stage, Shen Xue wanted to entrust Liu Anna, who is the vice president, to use his heart as the source of the organ to perform surgery to extend her life.
So, before he died.
Although this operation seems to have no scientific basis, people who are on the verge of death will desperately take it as long as they see the last straw.
She wanted to kill him and use his fresh life to support the rest of her life.
He stared at the piece of paper, and suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance, which suddenly appeared, which caught people off guard.
...here.
... He was even more sure of Shen Xue's intentions.
His eyes were a little heavy, and then his breathing became more and more rapid...
Before he fell into a coma, he saw the bathroom door being pushed open, and Shen Xue with an indifferent face... and Liu Anna, the vice president holding a scalpel behind her.
At last only the voices of their conversation can be heard:
"Shen Xue, this is a private operation, and I lack a lot of medical equipment, so the pre-operative examination will be relatively weak."
"The time is urgent, and the corpse will be dealt with later. Hurry up while he is unconscious..."
That silver-white scalpel was dazzlingly bright.
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know where he was moved. It pierced his chest, and the bright red blood flowed over his peripheral vision, depriving him of his life.
...
【You are dead...】
...
In the afternoon sun, the shade of the trees casts cracked halos.
A young college student dressed in ordinary clothes stood under a tree on the street, with a bright screen in his hand.
[Shen Xue: Su Ming'an, don't forget about the party at night. 】
"Shua!"
The splashed water from the vehicle next to him splashed all over him directly.
"Mother Gan Lin! You're flying so fast, you're in a hurry to reincarnate!" The pedestrian who was also splashed with water breathed out her fragrance.
"..." Su Mingan's breathing was suffocated all the time.
It wasn't until this moment that air flowed in from the outside, cooling his chest.
After his death this time, he chose the first screen, which is [archive time point 1 afternoon street], and returned to the time point of waiting for the bus in the afternoon.
"..." He touched his waist and accurately felt the cold touch of the dagger he carried with him.
He quickly took a taxi and made his way home. During the period, he asked several classmates, and they all said that there was no such thing as a gathering of classmates.
"Brother Ming'an, you've been staying up too late, aren't you?" Bo Long said, "I told you to eat less food and watch less pink websites..."
"I didn't see it." Su Mingan said.
He had no previous relationship with his high school classmates, so he had no prior knowledge. It turned out that Shen Xue had only invited him to this party.
His memory stays in the living room that seems to be flickering with dark fire.
His pale skin, flushed cheeks, and the scalpel piercing his chest...
"Is there a personal panel?" he said tentatively.
A blue screen suddenly jumped in front of his eyes.

"Ding dong" the phone beeped.
The phone had rang several times before, but Su Mingan ignored it all the time. He picked up the mobile phone on the sofa, and what caught his eyes was Shen Xue's continuous text messages, one after another, like a series of reminders.
[Shen Xue: Why didn't you call me back? 】
【Shen Xue: ... aren't you coming to my birthday party? I have prepared your favorite tea and snacks for you. 】
[Shen Xue: ...why didn't you come? Am I doing something wrong? 】
[Shen Xue: ...]
...
[Shen Xue: Open the door, I'm coming. 】
...
"Dingling, Dingling, Dingling~" the doorbell made playful music.
Su Mingan looked towards the door for a moment——
On the screen, a pretty girl with black hair and a shawl in a floral dress, with one hand behind her back, revealing a corner of a spray bottle.
"Open the door, Brother Ming'an." Her voice seemed a little chilly.
...
Su Mingan got up immediately, opened the drawer in the sofa cabinet, took out a bottle of transparent liquid medicine, and mixed it with the tea on the table.
In his own home, he has some "little hobbies" of collecting things.
Having done all this, he opened the door.
Outside the door, the girl with black hair and shawl was extraordinarily beautiful and moving.
"You kept me waiting for a long time." Shen Xue said half coquettishly.
"Come in." Su Mingan confirmed that he did not see anyone other than her.
Then, he led her to the sofa and served her tea and a stack of bozai cakes.
He quietly looked at the girl in front of him, watching her eat snacks.
Shen Xue inexplicably felt a chill.
She choked a little, put down her mind: "Brother Ming An...why are you looking at me..."
"No." Su Mingan quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist, and suddenly put his hands on Shen Xue, pressing her down directly.
"Brother Ming'an...!" Shen Xue panicked, and immediately wanted to take out the spray, only to realize that she had gradually lost her strength.
"Where's that person in your family?" Su Mingan said.
"What, Brother Ming'an, let me go..." Shen Xueqiang laughed.
"It seems that the other one didn't come." Su Mingan looked at the display screen at the door, there was no one there.
"Brother Ming'an, there is something I haven't told you..." Shen Xue, who regained her strength, looked at her sweetheart in front of her, her heart was pounding, she ignored the dagger in front of her eyes, her cheeks gradually stained with blush—
"I like..." she said.
"Shua!"
A deep bloodstain exploded in the girl's throat.
【—HP-200! (Fatally wounded!)]
【You killed Shen Xue (human race), Exp+20】
"If you want to be with the corpse, first turn yourself into a corpse." Su Mingan wiped her face with the dagger.
If he doesn't, she'll strike first, stun him with spray, and slice out his heart.
After knowing that this is a game, he will not show mercy.
Shen Xue's eyes gradually lost their brilliance.
Su Mingan looked at her corpse.
There were no tears in her eyes, which made people think of the vast wilderness and the wind on the prairie. The light shadow sprinkled on the tips of her hair. She looked like an ordinary, beautiful, youthful and beautiful female student.
...Why did she make such a choice.
Kill him and implant his heart into her dying body to keep her alive. Then, with his fresh heart, to see the sea she wants to see?
... This is what she called "a free and independent life"?
...This is the "full and passionate journey" she hoped for?
So, is his beating heart buried in her chest beating for her so-called "like", or... for her bright and brilliant future?
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Liu Anna was standing outside the door.
"Shen Xue, Shen Xue, are you in?" Liu Anna knocked on the door, a little anxious.
Su Mingan knew that this was the surgeon who was in the same boat as Shen Xue.
He looked at Shen Xue's body, but without using his hands, he pushed the death spray out from the bottom of Shen Xue's skirt with the handle of the dagger, picked it up, and walked to the door.
"——Shen Xue, Shen Xue? Answer?" Liu Anna didn't get an answer, she was a little anxious, and gradually moved her hand towards the weapon behind her——
"Boom!" The door flew open in an instant.
Holding the spray, Su Ming'an covered his nose and sprayed it out, and suddenly pressed down with his fingertips!
Liu Anna was unprepared, her legs went limp, and she fell unconscious in an instant, and there was no more movement.
Su Mingan put down the spray.
...is really a meaningless farce.
But at least, he survived without her heart being cut off.
In front of him, Liu Anna's cell phone fell to the ground in a coma, making a crisp clicking sound.
He picked it up, just in time to see a QQ message record.
The time this message was sent was exactly ten minutes ago.
【Shen Xue (15:56): Sister Anna, after transferring my heart tissue to him, remember to help him clean up the blood, so that he can go back safely without being suspected. 】
【Liu Anna (15:57): I see. 】
"..." Su Mingan was stunned.
At this moment, there seemed to be a howling cold wind in his chest.
He turned his head and looked at the girl who was asleep on the sofa, and saw the light whiteness hidden between her black hair.
He could not see the wilderness that had been in her eyes.
His fingers quickly slid up, flipping through the chat records between them.
The first chat on this matter came from a week ago.
...
[Shen Xue: Sister Anna, I want to give up the treatment. The doctor said... I can only live for more than a month at most. 】
[Liu Anna: I respect all your decisions, child. 】
[Shen Xue: Sister Anna, is the "double-heart surgery" you are researching... for real? 】
[Liu Anna: Although outsiders think this operation is ridiculous, I think it just lacks qualified experiments, and there is no living body for us to experiment on. Seemingly impossible experiments will experience many doubts and ridicules before they are actually practiced, just like Bruno who was burned to death, but I think that if the experiment is successful, people with two different types of heart tissue will definitely be able to prolong their lifespan. 】
[Shen Xue: ...]
[Shen Xue: Sister Anna, is the file I saw earlier true? Su Mingan, did he really have a terminal illness?]
[Anna: That's a certificate from Xiaoshuo Hospital, I won't lie to you. 】
【Shen Xue:...】
[Shen Xue: Sister Anna. 】
[Shen Xue: Take me out of the hospital and go home. 】
[Liu Anna: Huh? 】
[Shen Xue: I think, since she is about to die. Then I might as well give him my heart. 】
[Liu Anna: Why did you make such a choice? You can have his heart too. child. 】
[Shen Xue: Sister Anna. 】
[Shen Xue: I once thought, what is the point of living for a person like me who is born with a disease... It consumes resources and equipment, counting down to my own death from the moment I open my eyes. I can't create, I can't give, and I can't even leave a trace. After I die, the relatives and friends around me will gradually erase the traces of my existence. 】
[Shen Xue: But one day, I suddenly discovered that there were things I didn't want to regret. 】
[Shen Xue: I suddenly, suddenly want to attend his graduation ceremony, I want to see him shining under the spotlight, I want to see him being loved by more people, I want to see him come to my tailor shop, I will give him Sewing new clothes, I want to see him and I become newspaper reporters, go to the field to interview together, see blood and sweat, banners, food and vegetables. 】
[Shen Xue: I suddenly, suddenly want to see him and embark on a glorious future. 】
【Shen Xue: ...I also want to go to the sea with him. 】
[Shen Xue: Is this what it feels like to like someone? I have no idea. Is my behavior a crime? I have no idea. 】
[Shen Xue: All I know is that people like me who opened their eyes just to sleep underground... can't go on anymore. 】
[Shen Xue: So, it doesn't matter even if he resents me. I just want...just want my heart to still beat in his chest when I'm dead. 】
[Shen Xue: I love very selfishly, and I won't be recognized in the eyes of others. 】
[Shen Xue: But as long as he lives, that's enough for me. 】
[Shen Xue: As long as he... lives is enough. 】
[Liu Anna: ...]
[Shen Xue: I'm sorry, Sister Anna. 】
[Liu Anna: I see. 】
[Liu Anna: I will prepare for the operation and give him your heart. 】
...
absurd.
Looking at this chat record, Su Mingan only felt it was absurd.
He dropped the phone.
Shen Xue planned and arranged everything. Even though she knew that this was against public order, even if she knew it was a crime, she still selfishly and undeniably wanted to give her heart to him.
She wanted to use that scalpel to open an opening in his heart, plant herself in it, grow along his blood vessels, and root her entire fiery heart into his body.
This is her unique and ridiculous, selfish and selfless "love".
...but he didn't have cancer at all.
Liu Anna, who lacked living materials, lied to her and turned her love into a farce.
He turned his head and looked at the girl's body.
Her pupils were dilated, and her expression was quiet and peaceful.
The gradually fading sunlight penetrated the curtains and sprinkled on her face, the black hair was lifted by the wind, and the wilderness-like eyes glowed with a light color under the light.
The moment Su Mingan took out his knife and killed her.
...has she ever regretted her actions?
...At the moment before she died, would she still want to give that heart to him?
... At the second before losing her vitality, she stared at him with such sad eyes,
Is it the last, high and short cry of her soul?
Looking at her dead body, he seemed to be able to hear the tremor of her soul.
Scarce and valuable.
Stupid and naive.
Su Mingan recalled that before each death, the scalpel in Shen Xue's hand pierced her right chest.
so,
Shen Xue wanted to keep his heart and give him another heart tissue.
However, they missed the only point.
The only thing that turned this farce into a tragedy.
...for his own heart,
...
grow on the right.
...
...
So, the previous him died of a broken heart.
So, now she had her throat cut and died because of a misunderstanding.
He was killed by "love", she was killed by "the one she loved". Love is misexpressed and becomes the knife that kills the loved one.
Therefore, this action named "love" that despises human nature, three views and order,
It has completely evolved into an extremely absurd farce.
...
He stood still, the smell of blood spreading from the tip of his nose.
The light warm mist of teacups and bowl cakes is rising among the sunlight.
...In an instant, his vision was filled with a gorgeous golden color.
...
After all, she could not see the sea.
...
[Ding dong! 】
When he put down the phone, a particularly crisp notification sound rang in his ears.

Note: Even if you have a death rollback, the difficulty of subsequent copies is still very high. There will be various timelines and power lines. Each puzzle requires a high IQ to solve puzzles. You have to intrigue with various characters and forces. Many puzzles cannot be solved by repeated deaths. Untie it, and the back file only plays an auxiliary role. (Compared to the dungeon that has been reversed dozens of times and the foreshadowing is buried from beginning to end, the novice dungeon is too simple. This is an intellectual plot game, not a rushing flow of fighting and killing. The death rollback is just a fault tolerance.)
