MTL - First Player-Chapter 2 two

   Chapter 2 Chapter 2 · Novice copy TE · She who disappeared

  —Am I dead?

  Su Ming'an's heart was still beating, and the sense of powerless death was still there. He found himself floating in a void.

   "The game has started." He muttered to himself: "What is the purpose of the game...?"

   Obviously, the moment he stepped out of the cafe, he was pulled from reality into a game. His victory condition should be "dodge Shen Xue's attack" or "kill Shen Xue".

   Logically speaking, he should have been killed. But now, he was dead, and two pictures appeared in front of him.

   One is a picture of him standing on the street in the afternoon. The text on the picture is [Archive time point 1·Afternoon streetside].

   One is a room screen with a dark night, and the text on the screen is [Save time point 2 · Night room].

  Su Mingan's finger tentatively clicked [Save time point 2 night room]

  …

   He opened his eyes.

The vision in front of    was still a little blurry, Shen Xue was looking at him with a smile, snacks in his hand. It was half an hour ago, and he was in Shen Xue's room.

   He seems to have the ability to save and read files. After death, after selecting the corresponding time point, he can return to the previous time point.

   He didn't know why his daily life turned out like this, but he had to survive before he could know more - he needed to avoid this girl who was killing him at every turn.

   "Games?" Su Mingan took the snacks and whispered tentatively, then heard the system prompt:

  【Hint 01: You are currently in the world game · novice level. 】

  【Tips 02: Current goal: Survive】

  【Tips 03: Your words have triggered the clue mechanism, you can search for clues, change your actions, and achieve different plot endings! 】

  [Hint 04: The currently achievable plot endings:

  HE (Happy Ending): Angel's Heart

  TE (True Ending): She who disappeared

  NE (Normal Ending): Two Hearts]

  …It really is a game.

  Looking at the text introduction, this is a "novice level", and he is still confused.

   Then, once the "novice level" is over, it should be the so-called "Opening Ceremony of the One Billion Human World Game", where the specific rules should be explained.

   "Let's have some snacks." Shen Xue said aside, looking extremely normal.

   But when Su Mingan looked at her, he clearly saw the words appearing in his field of vision:

  【*Get Clue Three · Strange Bump】

  【(strange bulge): I found the girl in front of me with a bulging skirt... What is it hiding? I'm curious about it, but I probably don't have the courage to reach out and look. 】

  【Clearance progress: 10%】

  【The clue has been recorded in the clue column and can be viewed at any time. 】

   He saw that a [Clue] section appeared in the lower right corner of his field of vision. As soon as the consciousness moves, it can be opened, and the clues placed inside can be seen.

  Su Mingan put down his snacks: "I'll go to the bathroom."

   He needs to go to some other places first, at least out of Shen Xue's sight.

   First of all, Shen Xue's skirt was bulging, obviously hiding the 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 blocks the eyes of the other party.

   He got up and walked towards the locked room. When passing by the hanger, he saw a white overalls hanging on the hanger with a tag hanging on it.

  [*Get Clue II·Liu Anna, Deputy Dean of Xiaoshu Academy of Sciences]

  【(identity name tag): "The main person in charge of double-heart surgery·Liu Anna"】

  【Clearance progress: 20%】

  …

   He suddenly smelled a strange smell, and drilled directly into his nose.

  【*Get Clue 3·Formalin】

  【(Formalin): Why does it smell like formalin in Shen Xue’s house? Could it be that...she likes to eat it with formalin side dishes too? 】

  [Noun definition: 35%-45% aqueous formaldehyde solution, colorless and transparent in appearance, corrosive, widely used, and also used for corpse embalming. 】

  【Clearance progress: 30%】

  Su Mingan quickly entered the bathroom, locked the door, the height of the window is not high, Shen Xue's house is on the second floor, he jumped from the window, he should not be seriously injured.

   He stepped on the tiles and hung his body on the edge of the window, but suddenly his feet touched something.

  …has a dark grid?

  Su Ming'an stopped jumping over the window and opened the hidden compartment under the tile.

   He found a pile of surgical instruments, anesthetics, etc. in a toolbox, as well as a diagnosis notice.

  【First People's Hospital of Xiaoshu:】

   [The patient, Comrade Shen Xue, is currently receiving interval treatment in our hospital. Although he is actively receiving treatment, his condition is deteriorating, and a critical illness notice has been issued. 】

  【I hereby inform you of the possible consequences...】

  【…】

  […In summary, the patient voluntarily gave up chemotherapy and went through the discharge procedures. 】

  【Patient Signature: Shen Xue】

  …

   A short notice of diagnosis.

  Su Ming'an looked at this thin piece of paper, his hands were shaking.

  …So it was.

  Because the terminal illness was in the late stage, Shen Xue wanted to entrust Liu Anna, the vice president, to perform surgery using his body as the source of organs to prolong her life.

   So, he will die before.

  Although this operation seems to have no scientific basis, people who are on the verge of death will fight to the death as long as they see the last straw.

  …as it is now.

   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 scent, which suddenly appeared and 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, Shen Xue with an indifferent face... and Liu Anna, the vice president holding a scalpel behind her.

   That silver-white scalpel was so bright that it was dazzling.

  I don't know how long it took, and I don't know where he was moved, it pierced his chest, and bright red blood flowed through his peripheral vision.

  …

  【You are dead...】

  …

  In the afternoon sun, the shade of the tree scattered with a shattered halo.

   An ordinary college student standing under a tree in the street, the screen in his hand lit up.

  【Shen Xue: Su Mingan, don’t forget the party at night. 】

   "Sigh!"

The vehicle next to   , the water splashed directly on him.

   "Mother Gan Lin! So fast, rushing to reincarnate!" The pedestrians who were also splashed with water spit out fragrance.

  "..." Su Mingan's breathing was suffocated all the time.

   Until this time, that air flowed in from the outside world, cooling his chest.

   After his death this time, he chose the first screen, which is [Save time point 1·Afternoon Street Side], and returned to the afternoon time point.

   "..." He touched his waist and accurately felt the cold touch of the dagger he took with him.

   He quickly took a taxi and went all the way home. During the period, he asked several classmates, and they all said that there was no such thing as a class reunion.

   "Brother Ming An, you don't stay up too much." The iron buddy Bolong said: "I told you that there should be less takeout and less viewing of some pink websites..."

   "I didn't see it." Su Ming'an said.

   He was not familiar with his high school classmates, so he did not know beforehand. It turned out that Shen Xue had only invited him to this party.

   His memory stayed in the living room that seemed to be flickering with dark fire.

  white skin, red cheeks, and the scalpel that pierced his chest...

   "Is there a personal panel?" he said softly.

   A blue screen suddenly jumped in front of his eyes.

   "Ding Dong" sound from the phone.

   The phone rang a few times before, but Su Ming'an never paid attention to it, and now the screen was lit up, attracting his attention.

  【Shen Xue: Why didn't you get back to me? 】

  【Shen Xue: ...Aren't you coming? 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 here. 】

  …

   "Jingle ding ding ding bell~" the doorbell makes playful music.

  Su Ming'an's gaze, for a moment, looked towards the door—

  On the screen, a beautiful girl with a floral dress and a black hair shawl put one hand behind her back, revealing a corner of the spray bottle.

   "Open the door, Brother Ming An." Her voice seemed a little cold.

  …

  Su Mingan got up immediately, opened the drawer, took out a bottle of transparent potion, and mixed it with the tea on the table.

   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 a shawl is extraordinarily beautiful and moving.

   "You made me wait for a long time." Shen Xue said half coquettishly.

   "Come in." Su Mingan confirmed that she didn't see anyone other than her.

   Then, he led her to the sofa and served her tea and a stack of bowls.

   He quietly looked at the girl in front of him, watching her eat the dessert he gave him.

   Shen Xue felt a chill inexplicably.

   She choked a little and put down her snacks: "Brother Ming An... What are you looking at me doing..."

   "No." Su Ming'an quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist, slammed into Shen Xue with his hands, and pressed her down directly.

   "Brother Ming An...!" Shen Xue panicked and wanted to take out the spray, only to realize that she had gradually lost her strength.

   "Where is that person in your home?" Su Mingan said.

   "What, Brother Ming An, let me go..." Shen Xueqiang said with a smile.

   "It seems that the other one is missing." Su Mingan looked at the display screen at the door, and there was no one there.

   "Brother Ming An, there's something I haven't told you..." Shen Xue, who had regained her strength, only felt her heart pounding. She ignored the dagger in front of her, and her cheeks gradually stained with blush—

   "I like..." she said.

   "Sigh!"

   A deep bloodstain exploded in the girl's throat.

  【—HP-200! (Fatal wound!)]

  【You killed Shen Xue (human species), Exp+20】

   "If you want to be with a corpse, turn yourself into a corpse first." Su Mingan wiped her face with the dagger.

  If he didn't do it, she'd do it first, stun him with the spray, and cut off his heart.

   He won't show mercy after knowing this is a game.

   Shen Xue's eyes gradually lost their brilliance.

  Su Mingan looked at her corpse.

   There were no tears in her eyes, which reminded people of the vast fields and the wind on the grasslands. The light shadows sprinkled on the tips of her hair. She looked like an ordinary, beautiful, youthful and beautiful schoolgirl.

  …why did she make such a choice.

  Kill him, implant his heart into her dying body to prolong her life. Then, with his fresh heart, to see the sea she wanted to see?

  ...This is what she calls "a free and independent life"?

  …this is the “full and passionate journey” she hopes?

  Then, the excited heart buried in her chest is beating for her so-called "like", or...for her bright and splendid future?

   "Boom!"

   There was a knock on the door.

   Liu Anna is standing outside the door.

   "Shen Xue, Shen Xue, are you inside?" 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 corpse, but without starting, he used the handle of a dagger to push the death spray from the bottom of Shen Xue's skirt, picked it up, and walked to the door.

   "—Shen Xue, Shen Xue? Reply?" Liu Anna didn't hear back, she was a little anxious, and her hand gradually moved towards the weapon behind her—

   "Boom!" The door opened instantly.

  Su Mingan held the spray, covered his nose, and pressed it down suddenly with his fingertips!

   Liu Anna was unprepared, her legs went weak, she fell unconscious, and did not move again.

  Su Mingan put down the spray.

  …What a pointless farce.

   But at least, he survived and was not cut off by her heart.

   In front of him, the unconscious Liu Anna, the phone fell to the ground, making a crisp snapping sound.

   He picked it up and happened to see a QQ message record.

   This message was sent 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 stains 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 sleeping on the sofa, and saw the stray whiteness hiding in her black hair.

   He couldn't see the wilderness in her eyes.

   His fingers slid up quickly, flipping through the chat records between them.

   The first chat record about this matter, from a week ago.

  …

  【Shen Xue: Sister Anna, I want to give up the treatment. The doctor said...I have at most just over a month to live. 】

  【Ana Liu: I respect all your decisions, child. 】

  【Shen Xue: Sister Anna, the "double heart surgery" you are researching...is it true? 】

   [Liu Anna: Although outsiders think this operation is ridiculous, I think it just lacks qualified experiments, and there is no living body that can allow us to experiment. Seemingly impossible experiments will experience a lot of questioning and ridicule before they are actually put into practice, but I think that if the experiment is successful, people with two different types of heart tissue will definitely be able to prolong their lives. 】

  【Shen Xue:…】

  【Shen Xue: Sister Anna, is the file I saw before true? Su Mingan, he really has a terminal illness?】

  【Anna: That's the certificate from Xiaoshu 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 you are already dying. Then it is better to give him my heart. 】

  【Ana Liu: Why did you make such a choice? You too can have his heart. child. 】

  【Shen Xue: Sister Anna. 】

   [Shen Xue: I once thought, what's the point of living for someone like me who was born with a disease... It consumes resources and equipment, and counts down to my own death from the moment I open my eyes. I can't create, I can't give, I can't even leave a trace. After I die, my relatives and friends will gradually wipe away the traces of my existence. 】

  【Shen Xue: But one day, I suddenly discovered that I also have something I don’t want to regret. 】

[Shen Xue: I suddenly, suddenly wanted to attend his graduation ceremony, I wanted to see him shining in the spotlight, I wanted to see him loved by more people, I wanted to see him come to my tailor shop, I gave him Sewing new clothes, I want to see him and I become newspaper reporters, go to field interviews together, and see blood and sweat, banners, food and vegetables. 】

  【Shen Xue: I suddenly, suddenly wanted to see him and embark on a glorious future. 】

  【Shen Xue: ...I 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 action a crime? I have no idea. 】

  【Shen Xue: All I know is that people like me who open their eyes just to sleep underground... can't go any further. 】

  【Shen Xue: So, even if he resents me, it doesn't matter. I just want...I just want my heart to beat in his chest after I die. 】

  【Shen Xue: I love very selfishly and will not be recognized in the eyes of others. 】

  【Shen Xue: But I only need him alive. 】

  【Shen Xue: As long as he… is alive. 】

  【Liu Anna:…】

   [Shen Xue: I'm sorry, Sister Anna. 】

  【Liu Anna: I see. 】

  【Liu Anna: I will prepare for surgery and give him your heart. 】

  …

   absurd.

   Looking at this chat record, Su Mingan just felt absurd.

   He threw away the phone.

   Shen Xue planned everything and arranged everything. Even though she knew it was against public order, even though she knew it was a crime, she still selfishly and unreservedly gave him her heart.

   She would use that scalpel to open her heart in his heart, plant herself in it, grow along his blood vessels, and root her whole hot 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, deceived her and turned her love into a farce.

   He turned back and looked at the girl's body.

   Her pupils were dilated, and her expression was quiet and peaceful.

  The gradually fading sunlight filtered through the curtains and sprinkled on her face, her jet-black hair was lifted up by the wind, and her wild-like eyes glowed a pale color under the light.

   The moment when Su Mingan took out the knife and killed her.

  …Did she regret her actions?

  ... At the moment before she died, would she still want to give him that sinful heart?

  ... One second before she lost her life, she stared at him with those sad eyes,

Is    the last cry of her soul, a high and short whimper?

   Looking at her corpse, he seemed to hear the tremor of her soul.

   is scarce and precious.

   Stupid and naive.

  Su Mingan remembered that before each death, the scalpel in Shen Xue's hand pierced into his right chest.

so,

   Shen Xue wanted to keep his original heart and give him another heart tissue.

   However, they missed the only point.

  The only thing that makes this farce turn into a tragedy.

  …because of his own heart,

  …

   grows on the right.

  …

  …

   So, he died from a broken heart before.

  So, now she was cut to death because of a misunderstanding.

   Therefore, this action named "love" that despised human nature, three views and order,

   It has completely evolved into a ridiculous farce.

  …

   He stood still, the smell of blood spreading on the tip of his nose.

  The warm mist of the teacup and the bowl of cake rises in the sunlight.

  ...In an instant, his vision turned into a beautiful golden yellow.

  …

   She couldn't see the sea after all.

  …

  【Ding Dong! 】

   When he put down the phone, a particularly clear prompt sounded in his ear.

Note: Even with death rollback, the difficulty of subsequent dungeons is still very high. There will be various timelines and power lines. Each puzzle requires high IQ to solve the puzzle. It is necessary to fight with various characters and forces. Many puzzles cannot be repeated by dying. Disengaged, the backshift only plays an auxiliary role. (Compared with 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 the flow of fighting and killing, and the death rollback is just fault tolerance.)
