Chapter 13: first round

Since being born, he has been in a state of "can't see". Lu Chu has never had such a profound understanding of the word "seeing".

The tower is not completely dark, and the candlelight is evenly arranged on the edge of the interior wall. I don't know how many years it has been burning. The wax oil has dripped and mottled, but it has not yet burned. The dim yellow candle light is on and off. In fact, Lu Chu cannot be described as open, but Lu Chu's eyes are astringent with this light. He took a deep breath, calmed his inner fluctuations, closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened again.

The original blurry light became clear, and the internal appearance of the high tower was completely displayed in front of his eyes. Although only the monotonous yellowness and the old black peeling off of the tower's inner wall were seen in front of him, Lu Chu was still moved by this.

After a brief look around, he turned to look at the man beside him.

Lu Chu hasn't seen anyone's face. Similarly, he doesn't have any knowledge of the so-called "handsome" and "beautiful", but looking at the man's face, he thinks this is good-looking.

People's feelings about beauty is an instinct.

Instead of thinking that the man said that he would know everything he wanted, Lu Chu turned to write and ask in the palm of the man.

As soon as he took the man's hand, the man said, "The death of your parents and the chaos in this town is not an accident. Strictly speaking, the only accident is you."

With just one sentence, Lu Chu was shocked and didn't know what to ask, so he could only consciously tremble his fingers and wrote-"What did you say".

"I know what you want to ask." The man finished his words, untied the ropes on both hands, and continued. "Now, with your eyes closed, don't look at anything, walk down the steps to the end, and then tell me, you see What have you got. "

——How to tell you.

The man still hasn't recovered his double sense. When Lu Chu reached the top of the tower, no matter how far away, the sound can still reach, even if the sound can reach the bottom of the tower, the man can't hear it.

"When you see the truth, I will recover both senses." Having said that, the man added, "I feel that the prohibition is for you and has nothing to do with the town itself."

Lu Chuwenyan looked up at the internal structure of the tower, and looked down from the bottom. There was nothing in the middle of the tower. It should have been clear at a glance, but the top of the tower could not be seen. A swirling staircase without a handrail winds up along the mottled wall, and it is likewise invisible. The staircase is narrow and can only accommodate two people side by side. If you walk along this staircase without a handrail with your eyes closed, you will step empty if you accidentally fall down from a high place.

Fortunately, for Lu Chu, who is already accustomed to the unknown and the darkness, this is not difficult.

All of this, the sudden loss of sensation, the broken peaceful life ... and the death of the parents without warning, may be explained after walking down the stairs to the end.

"Remember, don't open your eyes unless you hit the end."

Lu Chu turned his head and took a deep look at the handsome man beside him. The man still covered his eyes and showed no expression, but Lu Chu heard the prudence in his tone.

--it is good.

Lu Chu wrote the last word in the palm of the man, and then went to the stairs.

He closed his eyes, supported the wall with one hand, and started to walk up.

Step by step, Lu Chu didn't know how tall the tower was, and when he was about to go, but his mood was extraordinarily calm.

When the muscles began to sore, it became a habit to lift his footsteps. Lu Chu finally stopped because he almost stepped on the air in one step-the steps had disappeared. He continued to move forward without touching a wall in a few steps, blocking the way.

It seems to be over.

Lu Chu opened his eyes as he thought, and the dazzling candlelight almost flashed his eyes. After he got used to it, he found that the walls around the top of the tower were transparent and could overlook the entire town. However, when he When he looked in the distance, he stayed where he was.

At the bottom of the tower, the man who restored sight and hearing closed his eyes.

"Tell me, what do you see?"

The voice of a man came, clearly should be far apart, but the voice sounded like ears, clear and calm.

Lu Chumuran didn't answer, just stared at the scene in front of him.

However, what makes Lu Chu so is not the world where the sky, the moon, and the green grass and colorful forests have been heard by others since childhood.

At this moment, the man's voice sounded again, saying one word at a time: "Lu Chu, tell me what you see."

Lu Chu finally reacted, his eyes blinked, and he said blankly, "I ... didn't see anything."

Yes, he didn't see anything.

The tall tower is really tall, and the buildings in the town are mostly low. Although it is late at night, the moon is exceptionally bright and bright, and the entire town illuminated is so bright that Lu Chu stands here and overlooks. Nothing left. Lu Chu's sight crossed the villa area, park, square overpass, Lu Chu's home that he and the man came all the way through ... to the edge of the town.

The suburbs of the town, as the people in the town say, have several mountains, but that mountain is not a continuous mountain, nor is there another town, but a void.

Real nothingness.

The walls around the high tower are all transparent. Lu Chu took all the surrounding scenes into his eyes. This town surrounded by "mountains", after passing a few mountains, there was nothing outside. The lonely town seems to be connected with the "mountain" that protects it. It is built in different time and space, and it is empty space to go out. There is nothing and nothing exists.

Lu Chu looked at the bewildered "deafnesses" in the distance struggling with each other, his face paled: "Why ..."

Suddenly, memories of the past two decades have flowed.

Self-sufficient quiet and peaceful town.

"We haven't been here before", the elders repeatedly said.

They defaulted not to approach deep mountains.

All buildings are low except for high towers.

...

Originally, this was an "overhead" town. Naturally, no outsiders would come. Because Lu Chu could not see it, he would not leave home easily, and had no intention of leaving. However, why have others been in peace for so long, and no one has had any questions for so many years, or has the idea of ​​"I want to go to the world outside the mountain". Furthermore, people in towns and cities never build taller buildings, thus avoiding the possibility of standing at a high place and seeing the mountain side.

"Why ..." Lu Chu felt that his life had been greatly impacted. "What the **** is ..."

It seemed as if the man who had expected everything faintly said, "It's a 'game'."

Lu Chu murmured: "'The bureau'?"

"Yes, there are many types of" Bureau "." City loss "is only one of them, and the people living here are derived from the" Bureau "itself, following the" rules ", just to make the" Bureau "smooth. Go on. "

Lu Chu became more and more confused: "What are we, then?"

The man's voice without emotion fluctuated: "The spinoff belongs to the 'inning' itself and is bound by the 'rules'. To those who are selected to participate in the 'inning', it is equal to npc."

Lu Chu hadn't responded yet, so he heard the man continue to say, "You are an exception and a loophole. In the" bureau "of" city loss ", all the derivatives will live normally until the day when the loss of feeling disappears, and then because Never experienced symptoms such as 'blindness' and fell into chaos, and civilization collapsed. Those selected in the real world will be required to live here for seven days, and if they have not survived for seven days, you will be out. You are 'blind' when you are born. Disrupted the balance of this "inning". Soon after, your parents accidentally saw the scene of the mountain in order to help you heal the disease, completely breaking the "rules" that the spawner cannot know that he lives in a fiction. , So they died without warning under the constraints of the "rules."

Hearing here, Lu Chu's eyes were moist, and he couldn't believe that everything he experienced was a derivative of the so-called "bureau." For them, all feelings are real: "Since I am the exception to the" bureau " , Why didn't you destroy me before I was born? "

But his parents were obliterated because of him years later.

"Your parents died because they found out the truth and violated the setting of the 'inning'; you are a loophole derived from the 'inning' and in principle belongs to the 'inning' itself, and the 'rules' cannot do anything to you."

Lu Chu had been shocked to numbness: "So, who are you?"

This time the man didn't answer him, but just said to himself: "In this 'inning', no one in the real world has been selected. When the bell at twelve o'clock midnight sounds, you will see a fan in front of you. door."

At this point, the man paused, his voice became solemn: "Lu Chu, open the door, and then go out, you will get rid of the identity of the spawner, 'rules' will default you to be selected from the real world. "

As soon as the man's voice fell, the bell sounded at midnight, the transparent wall in front of Lu Chu's eyes slowly fell off, and the outside world slowly disappeared in front of Lu Chu's eyes. What followed was a tedious and rusty pattern. door.

"Lu Chu, open the door and walk in."

Lu Chu didn't move.

"Lu Chu, don't forget your parents."

Parents ... Lu Chu still remembers when his parents were weak, choked and made him swear to live well. One day, you will leave here—Kamama, Lu Chu remembered that his parents had said this to him.

Lu Chu took a deep breath: "What about you?"

The man replied, "I will go to you."

After hearing the words, Lu Chu finally opened the door in front of her and lifted her feet into the white light.

At the same time, the man at the bottom of the tower suddenly felt a terrible pain and fell to the ground. He twitched, his skin began to crack and exudate bright red blood.

"7, you violated the 'rules'."

The man who suffered from severe heartbreaking pain slowly stood up. He covered his chest and leaned against the wall. He allowed the skin to tear and heal, and his blood was stained, but his voice was exceptionally calm.

"Ok, I know."
