MTL - Unlimited Cycles of Death-Chapter 1 Iris 01┃Mu Qing wakes up in front of a huge European carved mahogany door.

Muqin awoke in front of a huge European carved rosewood door.

The wooden door is carved with the strange sign of a snake-wrapped cross, and the multiple faces of different colors of diamond-shaped glass are combined. It seems to have the common meaning of religion and death, and it seems a little familiar.

Behind this door appears to be a large church-like building, with a European-style appearance and white walls and red roof, like a small castle.

It was strange that Muqin woke up standing. Because he should have lost consciousness, and should lie on the ground dripping with blood. In any case, how could he unconsciously "stand up" and wake up?

Mu Qin was too late to figure this out. He quickly felt a gust of wind blowing on himself, blowing his skin around him. He froze a bit, raised his head to look around, and found himself in a very dilapidated courtyard. in.

In the courtyard with towering fences and iron gates, the tops of the fences and iron gates have sharp corners and a barbed wire burglar-proof setting, which can not only prevent outside people from entering, but also prevent people inside from going out.

The courtyard is not large, and the area of ​​the two basketball courts is about to be visually inspected. There are several dead trees and weed beds in the yard, as well as some equipment for children to play, slides, sand bunkers, And swings.

But these things are too worn, covered with dust, leaves, mold, and rotten stench.

It seems to be a courtyard that has been left unattended and visited for a long time.

Mu Qin looked up at the sky, but the sky was dark, but it was not night, it was very dark, and he couldn't see the sun ... It was gray and covered with clouds. It is the kind of dark cloud that is ready for a storm. The low-pressure cloud makes the air smell of depression. This storm is destined to be manic, capable of washing everything dirty.

Mu Qin did not know how he appeared here. His memory only stayed at the moment when the truck whistled towards him, and then he could feel the coldness and darkness, and the blood in his body was flowing out terribly. Touch ... an unprecedented death experience.

If I haven't died in a car accident, I should be in the hospital.

Muqin thought so, and looked around the run-down and desolate courtyard ... not in this weird place everywhere.

What's even stranger is that there doesn't appear to be any scars on my body, no wounds, and no damage.

Muqin touched his face and torso. He found himself wearing a gray outfit like a prisoner, a gray shirt, gray pants, two pants pockets, and no pockets on the clothes. On his feet was an old pair of cloth shoes, which reminded Mu Qin of the kind of cloth shoes issued by the school during his student military training.

This is not my clothes, nor my shoes ... Has anyone changed my clothes? As Muqin thought, groping his clothes, he found something in the only two trouser pockets ... I'm afraid it was something that the person who threw him here put in his pocket.

One ... Tarot?

Muqin was not mistaken. It was a tarot card with the image of "Fool" on it. A young man carrying a parcel and a dog walking on the edge of a cliff.

This image seems to be much more refined than the traditional tarot cards. The picture is beautiful, the colors are soft, the people on the image are lifelike, and the robes are fluttering, just like the exquisite original games in some online games, which is quite suitable for the aesthetics of contemporary young people. trend.

The bottom of the image is written in English: 0, fool.

"Fool?" Mu Qin said to himself with a card. He didn't know much about Tarot cards, but he heard who said that the first card of the Tarot cards, zero, meant the beginning. It might be a certain company in the company. A little girl who was obsessed with horoscope divination made him accidentally remember.

Muqin carefully watched this card again. Except that the fool's picture was exquisitely stunning, he did not see anything else, so Muqin turned the Tarot card and found that the back was a dark blue. Under the background of the colored starry sky, the image of the pentagram is faintly revealed, and there are also a few lines of small print on it.

Fortunately, it is Chinese, because Mu Qin's English is not very good. It is written like this--

The adventure has just begun, and the abyss of death is at hand.

Are you ready to start or end?

pS: This card can increase your luck.

"What do you mean?" Mu Qin felt more inexplicable after reading these lines. He turned the card over and over and checked it twice. It felt useless, but because it was the only thing on him, he still honestly said it. Put it back in your own pocket.

Then Muqin began to explore the surrounding environment.

The courtyard was too dim. Muqin did not plan to see those dilapidated swings, slides, and sand pits. His target was on the largest iron gate in the courtyard. He could dimly see through the railings Scene, there is an asphalt road and a dense forest.

Can i go out

As Muqin looked at the iron gate, he thought, he stepped towards that door. Muqin still wanted to go out because he felt this place made him feel weird. He didn't want to push away the sculpture behind him. The snake encircles the strange allegorical door.

But as Muqin walked through the courtyard, through the paths covered with rotten leaves and dead trees, and walked to the iron facade in the middle of the courtyard, Muqin found a huge iron lock hanging on the door, and the iron lock was rusty. Everywhere, Mu Qin reached out and shook his hand twice, and the iron lock and the iron door made a crisp collision sound.

The lock is tight.

Muqin thought so after checking the lock. He raised his head to observe the large iron door. The railings on this door were vertical bars, which was difficult to climb, and there were spikes and wire on the top of the iron door. It is impossible to climb over the iron gate and over.

As Muqin thought about the iron gate, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Who is where?"

The sudden voice scared Mu Qin to tremble. He immediately turned around and looked back, and found a tall man standing on the other side of the courtyard. Because of the dim sky and the lack of light, Mu Qin could only dimly see what the man was wearing. The clothes ... are the same as those on Muqin.

The same gray clothes and gray pants.

Makes Muqin feel a little weird.

Although Muqin didn't know what to answer, he still talked to this strange man. He raised his hands to show that he was friendly without weapons. Muqin said, "Hello ... Well, do you know where this is?"

The man on the opposite side stood silent for a moment and answered Muqin: "I don't know where it is, but you should come with me."

"Come with you?" Mu Qin questioned this sentence.

The man continued, "Someone knows what's going on right now. Just follow me. We can't get out anyway."

can not go out? Muqin was even more confused. The situation was very strange for him. He appeared in a strange and strange place. A strange and strange man appeared and told himself to follow each other.

"Did you get me to this place?" Muqin was full of doubts, but he walked towards the other side. The place was too dark and the surroundings were too rundown. It was not safe to explore. Good places, Muqin didn't want to explore.

And it was dark, and it seemed that it was going to rain as well as dark. Muqin didn't want to stay in a strange place on a rainy night that was dark and cold. So following the man in front of him seems to be his only choice.

Mu Qin asked the man in an attempt to ask for more information from his mouth. Whether it was abduction or trafficking, Mu Qin felt that he could calmly face it.

But he never expected that the other party would answer him like this: "I didn't have the ability to bring you here, in fact, I also appeared here somehow with an eye open ... maybe death brought us."

This answer made Mu Qin feel a little dazed for a while. He paused for a moment and then came up again. He was close. Mu Qin finally saw the man's face slightly.

This is a man who looks about 30 to 40 years old, with a length of about one meter seven or eight, a Chinese character face, and the facial features of that face are pulled down, giving a bitter face, it looks like Not like a good person.

"My name is Cheng Guoxu." When the man saw Mu Qin approaching, he introduced himself to Mu Qin, "I'm a factory worker ... it's the kind of factory that makes children's toys."

Cheng Guoxu's voice was a bit hoarse, and it felt like the kind of voice that slowly recovered after losing his voice. Listening made Mu Qin uncomfortable, but Mu Qin replied politely: "My name is ... Mu Qin, an ordinary company Staff, the kind of sales performance. "

After a brief introduction, the two had nothing to say. Cheng Guoxu seemed to be a relatively quiet and introverted person, and Mu Qin was not good at chatting with such people, especially when they were alert to each other.

He started to follow Cheng Guoxu forward. Cheng Guoxu did not take him to push the door with a snake-wrapped cross beside him, but walked through a quiet path in the courtyard against the wall, and came to a place like Apartment building in front of buildings.

The weather became darker, and the air smelled of dampness. Dark clouds still floated heavily above the two people's heads. Mu Qin originally thought that the rain would fall quickly, but the dark clouds floating in the sky didn't seem to be in a hurry.

The surroundings were quiet. Muqin seemed to hear a small noise in the grass, which made Muqin look vigilantly at the place where the sound was made, but it was too dark and he could see nothing.

"This seems to be an orphanage." Cheng Guoxu had now led Mu Qin through the lobby of the apartment building, on the first floor to the left corridor, and then opened a door labeled 'Management Room' to signal Mu Qin to enter. .

Mu Qin Xiao hesitated after a while. He went in and found that the so-called management room should be an office with a few desks, chairs, and bookcases. There were also several people standing inside.

It was three completely strangers, plus Mu Qin and Cheng Guoxu, and a total of five people stood in this small office.

Maybe I saw Mu Qin brought by Cheng Guoxu. Among the three strangers, a tall man about 1.88 meters tall stood up and looked at Mu Qin and said, "Another new man."

Muqin was even more foggy and asked, "Who are you? Did you get me here?"
