Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 16 No Rules
There was a faint white color on the horizon. Su Heng and Messiah stood outside the phantom, looking at the Qiming City rescue convoy arriving in the distance.

The powerful infected person that had been plaguing Qiming City for a long time was finally solved, and the administrators breathed a sigh of relief. The somewhat timid administrator who had done nothing had not hesitated to praise him. After expressing his gratitude to the officials, he continued to praise them. The Awakeners sent this time.

Messiah and Su Heng exchanged some polite words with the administrator and saw Gu Lingxin and Gu Yu from a distance. Gu Lingxin was holding Gu Yu's hand, but Messiah could see it more clearly. Yu grabbed Gu Lingxin's sleeve tightly.

Su Heng still carried his advanced sniper rifle and introduced to Gu Lingxin: "This is my boss, the youngest scholar in the Scholars Association."

"Scholars Association..." Gu Lingxin suddenly felt familiar when she heard this word. This is an official organization organized by a group of awakened people with the ability to awaken wisdom after the end of the world. They have decision-making power in political affairs, and their power is equivalent to that of a great commander. official. Their information can also be found on the official forum, but when she visited the forum before, she only briefly looked at the awakening abilities of the scholars and did not pay attention to their names.

However, she had some understanding of this in her previous life. Before the end of the world, the scholars were all senior professors in various fields. To put it bluntly, they were some elderly people. The Messiah... was too young?

But with his wisdom and awakening ability, he does have this capital.

Messiah nodded slightly, and Su Heng continued: "Captain, she is the awakened one I mentioned before. Her ability is to control fire."

Control fire? Gu Lingxin couldn't help but glance at Su Heng, maybe.

"Really?" Messiah responded casually, but his deep gaze looked directly into Gu Lingxin's eyes.

Gu Ling didn't really want to look into the eyes of the owner of [Insight], lest her secret be seen through.

She turned away and hummed softly.

"Sister, have you seen the handsome guy shy?" Gu Yu opened his mouth to finish the attack at the right time.

At this time, the blond official awakened person said seriously: "Madam, as an official awakened person, I formally invite you to join my team."

Gu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then keenly realized what Messiah said, joining his team instead of joining the official.

The Messiah is the awakened one of the Scholars. Doesn’t he represent the official body?
"What's the benefit of joining the officer...joining your team?" She deliberately said it wrong, so that Messiah knew that she heard the difference between the two.

Talking to smart people always saves a lot of effort. Seeing that she understood, Messiah did not criticize her, and continued: "We have all the survival supplies, including meat, vegetables, food, new weapons, and merit points. You will not be missing anything."

"Achievements?"

"It's Spirit Crystal. Officially, Spirit Crystal is used as a new energy source. After proper processing, it can be made into weapons and armor. By completing the tasks assigned to us by the official, or by killing infected people, we can obtain Spirit Crystal. Spirit Crystal can also be regarded as the official awakening. It has become the common currency among people." Messiah took out the spiritual crystal cut out from the big fox's brain and stuffed it into Gu Lingxin's hand.

Gu Lingxin's eyes widened and she immediately threw the spiritual crystal back to Messiah: "I know! No need to look anymore!"

She just touched it and felt a steady stream of energy pouring into her body. She was all too familiar with this feeling - spiritual crystals can be [swallowed]. If she holds it for a while, all the energy in the spiritual crystal will be transferred into her body. There are two official awakened people standing in front of her. If [Swallow] is exposed, there will be no place to run...

But Messiah blurred the concept. He was talking about the treatment of the officially awakened people, not the treatment of "his team members".

Messiah put away the spiritual crystal, patted the phantom behind him, and turned a blind eye to Gu Lingxin's reaction: "Since you agree, let's get in the car and talk."

Did she agree? Gu Ling looked at the Phantom, which cost millions more than the HQ9. The Messiah's car was even more luxurious than Su Heng's.

Then just agree.

She originally planned to join the officialdom in this life. Compared with not knowing when someone would answer the phone, Messiah's side was obviously a shortcut.

"I'm willing to join the official." Gu Lingxin only thought about it for a short time before climbing into the Phantom. She changed the title back to "official", but this time Messiah seemed to have no reaction. Gu Lingxin continued, "But my sister has to be with me."

After Gu Yu followed Gu Lingxin into the car, he took out a stick of waxy corn from the storage space and nestled it on the car seat to gnaw on it. His eyes almost popped out when he heard this: "Ah? Do I want to join in?"

"Didn't you just say you were going to the capital?"

Gu Yu chewed some corn kernels. She said that she wanted to follow the powerful awakened people to make sacrifices, rather than join the official body and work for her life.

But she thought about it and nodded: "Oh, okay."

"Now if you have any questions, you can ask me." Messiah sat in the driver's seat and glanced at Gu Lingxin through the rearview mirror.

There was nothing wrong with Gu Lingxin herself, but she was distracted and did not answer Messiah's words. She was only thinking about how many spiritual crystals the official would give. Then he suddenly remembered the Cullinan that Su Heng drove earlier, and he got behind Su Heng and asked, "Where is your car? Just leave it there and not drive it?"

Messiah:"……"

Su Heng turned his face and whispered: "I am a student party member. The world will end before I graduate. Where can I get the money to buy a car? That car also belongs to the boss." To a certain extent, he does have the intelligence of a top student. Brains and the crystal clear stupidity of college students.

Gu Lingxin slumped back on the car seat with a face full of shock. The two cars combined were enough to buy the company of Ghost Fire. Messiah is so arrogant?
Then she stopped talking again, and the only sound in the car was the sound of Gu Yu gnawing corn.

Messiah no longer paid attention to the movements in the back row, and turned to Su Heng: "Notify the official that the ninth team does not need to come, the infected people have been eliminated."

Su Heng nodded: "It has been reported to the official, but the ninth team was already on the way yesterday."

"Then tell them to go back."

"...They couldn't be contacted, and the official side also lost their location information."

"Oh." Messiah responded lightly.

Su Heng was unsure of what the captain meant and asked, "They encountered an infected person and were destroyed by the regiment?"

"Even if it is eaten into the stomach of an infected person, the location can still be traced." Messiah suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gu Lingxin and Gu Yu in the back row, "What do you think?"

Gu Yu said nothing. He took the corn cob that was gnawed bare and debated whether to throw it out the window. In the end, he decided that it was immoral to throw garbage everywhere, so he put the corn cob into the space and planned to look for a trash can later.

After Gu Lingxin heard their conversation, she slowly uttered two words: "Game."

Messiah nodded with satisfaction, his team was finally not full of idiots.

Su Heng suddenly lost contact some time ago. Later, he contacted him and told him about being trapped in a game in Yuan City. According to Su Heng, after reporting it to the authorities, Messiah became very interested in this weird fictional world. He asked Gu Ling: "What do you think of the 'game'?"

Gu Ling thought for a while and replied: "This should be someone's awakening ability, and the awakened person himself cannot fully control it. He can only make rules, and he himself has certain rules restrictions."

"The players who enter are random, the NPCs who appear are random, and even some levels are random." "As long as you kill the boss at the end of the level, the game will end."

"Also... the time in the game is chaotic." This last point was what Gu Lingxin just thought of. The time in the game changes according to the level settings, although she just spent the time waiting in the last game. It was valid for the twelve hours of the game, but Ruan Ningning was already an NPC at that time, which meant that before their game, Ruan Ningning had experienced other games and died in the game, so it became the next game. NPC.

"Yeah." Messiah did not question the authenticity of the information, because it was almost consistent with his guess. He parked the car on the side of the road and looked at the empty road ahead wordlessly.

[Awakening Ability: Insight]

Rich golden light covered his eyes, and the deep green pupils were as clear as topaz at this moment. If Gu Lingxin looked directly into his eyes at this time, he would truly feel that he was completely "insighted" from deep inside. Feel.

Gu Lingxin knew that this was Messiah using his ability, so she quietly activated [Insight] from behind, trying to figure out what Messiah was looking at.

With the blessing of [Insight], on the empty cement road, clouds of gray-white mist floated gloomily in mid-air.

Not only in front of them, but also in the air around them, this mist was everywhere, squeezing every space depressingly. It seemed that they were surrounded by these things.

Withdrawing [Insight], there was still a smooth road in front of me.

Based on what Messiah asked her just now, Gu Lingxin asked tentatively: "Game?"

"Well, let's get out of the car." Messiah also put away [Insight], a rare smile appeared on his cold face. This new team member's mind is really bright.

The four people got off the Phantom, and Gu Ling felt a little regretful, having only been in the luxury car for a few minutes.

Su Heng saw her dull expression and thought she was nervous. She pointed at Messiah's back and whispered, "Don't be nervous. We will pass the level soon this time."

Gu Yu looked around and found nothing wrong. She didn't pay attention to what Messiah and Gu Lingxin said just now. She couldn't figure out what happened for a moment, so she asked, "Where are we?"

Gu Lingxin didn't say much, she just said comfortingly: "Protect yourself and follow us closely."

In fact, she was not as nervous as the first time she entered the game, but more curious.

After all, Su Heng even threw the amazingly powerful sniper rifle in the car, which shows that he has full confidence in the Messiah.

Messiah wore a white men's long trench coat outside his suit, and a gold brooch that looked valuable as decoration on the collar. Gu Lingxin could vaguely guess that this guy must be before the end of the world. The young master of a wealthy family, even when faced with a regular game that could put his life in danger at any time, he looked dignified, elegant and calm.

They were located in the urban village area outside Qiming City. They were surrounded by bungalows with closed doors. After walking about a few dozen meters, they saw a small medical clinic with lights on in front of them.

No one else was seen along the way, only at the door of the hospital, a child with blood-stained clothes staggered inside.

"Is he wearing a Taoist robe?" Messiah said.

However, Su Heng, Gu Lingxin and Gu Yu couldn't answer this question. They didn't usually dabble in this area. Messiah thought for a moment, then quickened his pace and followed the little Taoist boy into the medical center.

This should be a private medical clinic. The owner of the medical clinic is not a regular doctor. He has long shawl hair and is not wearing a white coat or protective clothing, but a loose black robe.

No need to disinfect? There is obviously the smell of medicine and disinfectant everywhere. Gu Lingxin watched the "doctor" bandage the wound on the little Taoist boy's arm. He didn't even apply iodine and just wrapped it with a bandage.

Bacteria...are all wrapped up...

But she quickly thought that this was a game world, and these two people might just be NPCs pushing the main plot, so she didn't dwell too much on this. Instead, the doctor in black robe raised his head and looked at the four of them.

His face is quite delicate and fair. Unlike the exquisite modern handsome guys like Messiah and Su Heng, his face has a kind of gentle elegance and long hair that has been carefully taken care of, just like the literati in martial arts novels. Scholar.

Gu Lingxin was the first to react, "Hello, we brothers and sisters went back to our hometown to visit grandma today. On the way, we saw this child covered in blood. We were a little worried, so we came over to take a look."

"..." Messiah looked back. To clear the game, he still had to make up lies with NPCs to fit into the plot?
He couldn't let go of his arrogance, but still nodded stiffly.

The doctor responded, "You guys really have kind hearts."

"Thank you, my injury is not serious." As soon as Xiao Daotong spoke, everyone realized that she was a little girl. There were still tears on her face, and she endured the pain of the wound to thank them.

Doesn't this hurt? Gu Lingxin clearly saw that a piece of flesh was torn off her upper arm.

"Can you please send her home later," the doctor added.

The four of them looked at each other. Is this triggering the plot?

Gu Lingxin immediately replied: "Okay."

"Thank you, brother and sister, thank you Mr. Pei." Xiao Daotong thanked him again. "Mr. Pei" should refer to the unprofessional doctor.

"Sit down, please, and I'll prescribe some medicine for him." Mr. Pei pointed to the tables and chairs on the side, turned to the back hall and called: "Ye Yan, make some tea."

No one responded to him.

A few people sat down, and Messiah lowered his head and glanced at the furniture they were using. The other three people grew up in ordinary families, so they couldn't tell clearly, but Messiah had seen many such furniture and recognized it at a glance. Come out - although it is a bit old, you can still tell that this is a high-quality rosewood table and chair. A set is worth nearly a million. Even in many well-off families in the capital, it is necessary to buy a set of furniture of this quality. After thinking about it, appearing in a remote village is a bit unreasonable.

And since you have the conditions to buy this kind of high-end furniture, why don't you replace it even though it's so old?
Mr. Pei took out several Chinese medicines from the small cabinet and weighed them, and suddenly stopped stiffly. The little Taoist boy also stopped wiping away his tears.

"The number of players is sufficient, the game begins!"

Gu Lingxin was startled and turned to look in the direction of the door. Three figures were standing there. From left to right are a man with glasses in white clothes, a tall and thin middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, and a woman carrying a large box.

"Main mission: kill the boss." The soft female voice continued.

……

Several people waited for a while, quietly waiting for the voice to tell the "rules" of the game, but until Mr. Pei and Xiao Daotong started moving again, no other voices came.

No rules?
