Thriller Hunting Program

Ling Chengmu had just finished drinking the bowl of purple sweet potato porridge, and was thinking about whether to serve another bowl, but inexplicably, such a thing suddenly happened.

She raised her head and looked at the group of emotionally excited big men in front of her, expressionless.

"Who's it called?" She pointed to Lu Ling next to her, "The warden is here, keep your voice down, don't scare other players."

"How could he be the warden?" Jin Xia glanced at Lu Ling in shock and suspicion, and then seemed to understand, "Yeah... That's right, he should have taken over for you... When you were in office that year, more than He's still young."

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about." Ling Chengmu waved his hand, "You probably recognized the wrong person, I'm a wanted criminal, why don't you ask this guy, he knows my identity better."

She pointed to Qin Ce.

Unexpectedly, when they looked at Qin Ce, Jin Xia and his teammates were even more shocked, and there was even a trace of anger in the shock.

"Qin Ce?!"

Seeing Ling Chengmu calling the warden, and seeing Qin Ce calling him by his first name, with different honorifics, this is very intriguing.

The cold color between Qin Ce's brows and eyes gradually deepened, and his tone was also half unceremonious.

"you know me?"

"Can you not know each other? You arrested us back then, or we could enter the time and space prison?"

God knows what kind of impact Jin Xia's remarks will have on the others present, this is definitely a shock.

Wu Shijiu was demented with a half-pulled sesame cake in her mouth. She, who has always been articulate, started to be incoherent at this moment.

She mechanically patted Lu Ling on the shoulder: "So who is the warden? My sister Orange is also the warden? Is my sister Orange so awesome?"

Lu Ling was also dumbfounded, but he was barely able to regain a trace of reason, even though the answer that was about to come out made him very reluctant to face it.

"She... may be the warden in front of me. She didn't leave, and I had nothing to do with her..."

"Didn't you say that the former warden died in the line of duty?"

"It's recorded in the bureau that he died in the line of duty! It's just that there is no detailed file except for this sentence of death. I don't even know who it was!"

Chang Su was also startled: "So, Miss Ling is not...not a wanted criminal, or a prison...the warden? Is it the chief?"

"I'm not." Ling Chengmu was clearly disgusted, "I have nothing to do with the Time and Space Supervision Bureau."

"You really are." Jin Xia looked at her, and the man about 1.8 meters seemed to be about to cry, "We even discussed at that time that such a one-of-a-kind beauty turned out to be the warden, how can we admit it wrong? ?"

"...Then why am I a wanted criminal now?"

"I don't know." One of Jin Xia's teammates said in a low voice, "We can't remember a lot of things, but I remember that when I woke up one day, I was lying in a strange system, and I didn't even get out of prison. impression."

Xu Xiao asked slowly: "If Cheng Cheng and Executive Qin are both chiefs of the Supervision Bureau, why do you have different attitudes towards Cheng Cheng?"

"There are no good people in the Time and Space Supervision Bureau, except for the warden." Jin Xia answered decisively, "It wasn't for her to protect us, and we wouldn't be alive today at all. She is different from those lackeys. She is our light."

Even if there is a problem with their memory, they can't piece together all the past events, but as long as they remember Ling Chengmu, it's enough.

No matter how long it takes, they will still be able to recognize her in the vast crowd.

The gratitude, respect and admiration engraved in the bones are instinct and will not dilute with the passage of time.

They finally meet her again.

In their eager eyes, Ling Chengmu saw the truth that she was unwilling to accept no matter what. She understood that their words were not adulterated, and the part of her memory that she lost was probably related to this.

The cloud layer that has been deposited all the year round has broken a gap, and a faint light of flying dust is streaming in.

She raised her hand to support her forehead and closed her eyes in annoyance.

"What else do you know? Please tell me in detail."

"I'm sorry, the warden, we don't know much." Jin Xia was ashamed. "We are just prisoners. We couldn't get in touch with the outside world in those years, so we couldn't help you."

"Then..." Ling Chengmu pondered for a while, then pointed at Qin Ce with his backhand, "How was my relationship with him at the Time and Space Supervision Bureau?"

Jin Xia scratched his head in confusion: "He has been to the prison a few times, and every time he comes to send new prisoners. You are just handing over the work normally. You don't talk much, and you don't even greet each other. I guess they don't like each other very well."

"..."

Lu Ling couldn't help but add a sentence: "The Time and Space Supervision Bureau does not allow the relationship between the chiefs to be too close, and it is expressly forbidden to fall in love."

"Oh! Soga!" Guanyue Lingzi, a small gossip expert, found an excellent blind spot. "Maybe the captain and Mr. Qin deliberately kept their distance in order to cover up their office romance."

Chang Su and Xu Xiao next to her secretly said that her analysis was very reasonable, and Wu Shijiu buried her face behind the bowl and snickered.

Being able to associate with brain supplements is a necessary quality for nibbling CP.

"Okay." Ling Chengmu stood up indifferently, "Get ready for class, don't study useless."

Seeing that she was leaving, Jin Xia followed a few steps more regretfully.

"Warden, you really don't remember us?"

"It's not that I don't remember you, I don't remember anyone." Ling Chengmu said, "I have forgotten what I should and shouldn't forget. Instead of thinking about it, it's better to give myself less trouble."

"..."

"Your top priority is to clear the competition area, don't be distracted by this kind of thing, be rational."

She quickened her pace and left the cafeteria without looking back.

＊

It is true that the amount of information brought by Jin Xia was too huge, not only Ling Chengmu, but also Qin Ce fell into a deep daze.

The wanted criminal on the black list, who was originally to be arrested, suddenly became his former colleague in the bureau. No one could understand this change of identity.

Today's class is mathematics.

The NPC in a suit on the podium was talking about linear algebra like Hong Zhong. Many players below were desperately taking notes, and many players didn't understand and gave up immediately, lying on the table and pretending to be dead.

It is inaccurate to describe it by cramming. What is the difference between this and cramming?

Ling Chengmu held her cheeks and looked at the display screen. Those equations and matrices went through her mind once, and nothing was left, so she didn't know where they went.

She sighed deeply, and turned around to find that Qin Ce was also staring at a certain point in the void.

She raised her hand and shook it in front of his eyes. Seeing that he didn't respond, she tapped his shoulder hard.

"Silly?"

Qin Ce's eyes quickly recovered, and he looked at her sideways: "What?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's a little awkward for us to sit together like this."

"Me too."

Then there was silence for a long time, until Ling Chengmu spoke again.

"How true or false do you think what Jin Xia said?"

"He doesn't have to lie to you, let alone this can't lie to anyone."

"I can't remember anything."

"I can't remember either." Qin Ce whispered, "But can't remember doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I believe in the authenticity of this matter."

He once harbored many unresolved doubts about himself, the Supervision Bureau, and the misty past.

Later, when he met her, they were clearly opposite ends of each other, but the longer they got along, the more hesitant he became, and the more he wanted to inquire about her hidden secrets.

Now Jin Xia's appearance has revealed her other identity, which is unexpected but reasonable.

This may be the beginning of all answers.

"What's a good thing then?" Ling Chengmu sneered, "If I was really a qualified prison warden, would I be reduced to being a wanted criminal? For you guys, no matter what, I must be a deviant villain. , is it a wanted criminal or a former warden, is there any difference?"

"Of course there is." He looked at her and replied word by word, "If you are the former warden and we have known each other for a long time, then your story may be mine."

"..."

"Last time in the Wall of Life and Death, you said that you saw messy things, and also said that another person's painful emotions were conveyed to you, it was very confusing - have you ever thought that that person is actually yourself?"

Ling Chengmu didn't say a word, she recalled the experience that day, her expression became colder, and she finally looked away.

"What about myself? Is it me who was shot and told that I failed and I must die?"

Qin Ce frowned when he heard the words, but he stopped talking.

"It is recorded in the bureau that the former warden died in the line of duty, right? Anyone with a discerning eye can guess that this is definitely not the truth." She said to him, "Qin Ce, you and I may not have been friends before, but there is a high probability that we are still enemies."

"..."

"We don't always seem to be on the same side."

The NPC seems to be getting more and more excited, and the volume keeps increasing. I don't know, I thought this was really a famous teacher's lecture hall.

Ling Chengmu was already in a bad mood, but now she felt her eardrums tremble, making her even more impatient.

She suddenly picked up the notebook on the table and threw it out as a hidden weapon, hitting the npc in the face impartially.

npc: "..."

Other players: "..."

Indeed, the rules of the system did not say anyway, that the teacher was not allowed to be hit in class.

Today's test result is still six to one, and only Xu Xiao passed the test.

Xu Xiao originally wanted to hand in a blank paper and share weal and woe with his teammates, but after discussions within the team, everyone agreed that since Guanyue Lingzi can only protect two people, and now that Jin Xia has been added, there is really no time to care about him. , and his combat power can not play any necessary role.

So Xu Xueba had no choice but to give up the idea, answer the questions earnestly, and go to sleep with a score of 96.

It's time for night training again.

That night, Jin Xia obviously had more topics with Chang Su and Guanyue Lingzi, but the two sides sometimes reached consensus and sometimes disagreed.

"Brother Jin, what kind of person was Miss Ling... used to be?"

"Our warden, beautiful, sassy, ​​and high-spirited, going to that stop is an immortal, a born king, no one will disapprove!"

Chang Su nodded and said yes, deeply agreeing.

Guanyue Lingzi sighed with emotion: "Executive officer and prison director, no wonder the captain and Mr. Qin seem to be such a good match."

"...What kind of match is it? Can Qin Ce be worthy of our warden?" Jin Xia retorted decisively, "He is a lackey of the Time and Space Supervision Bureau. He doesn't deserve to be liked by the warden, and the warden cannot like him!"

"Why is it impossible? Mr. Qin is a very good person, and he and the captain are destined to be a couple."

"He is a good man? Can a good man help Zhou to abuse? The warden has been demoted to a wanted criminal. He is still an executive officer, and he has to arrest the warden. I think it may be the warden he framed at the beginning!"

Guanyue Ayako was a little angry. It happened that at this moment, several ghosts in white with **** broken arms came from far away from the playground. One of them had their head chopped off in half, and they dragged on the ground.

The female ghosts walked faster and faster, and then they almost ran away.

"Simi Masai, Mr. Jin," she said. "You are an adult. You should rely on your own strength to fight ghosts. I have something to do, so I will go first."

After speaking, she pulled Chang Su and turned around.

"...Miss Guanyue!"

Seeing the female ghosts getting closer and closer, Jin Xia's whole body shuddered, for fear that she would be serious, so she quickly chased after her, and had no choice but to speak nonsense against her conscience.

"Actually, when I think about it carefully, the warden and Qin Ce have both served as chiefs of the Supervision Bureau after all. It is understandable that there is a little friendship between colleagues. We..." He gritted his teeth, "We should look at this dialectically. question!"

Guanyue Lingzi smiled: "Mr. Jin is very reasonable."

Chang Su also put his arm around his shoulder: "Okay... good brother."

"..."

Brutally coerced, but so.

Tonight, Ling Chengmu and Qin Ce were randomly sent to the library.

Standing at the door of the library, looking at the dim yellow light inside, Ling Chengmu was silent for a while, then turned to Qin Ce and said.

"Tomorrow you take the exam well, you don't have to accompany me to hand in blank papers on purpose."

Qin Ce's brows and eyes were calm, and his expression was calm.

"I didn't intentionally hand in a blank."

"Um?"

"I just can't answer, I can't pass."

Ling Chengmu was speechless: "Aren't you too lazy to think about lying now?"

"Otherwise? Who stipulated that the executive officer must be excellent?"

"..."

Ling Chengmu had nothing to say. When she thought that she had been a colleague with such a person, she felt that she must have fought a lot before.

She stepped through the door of the library.

Judging from the interior decoration and damage degree of the library, it is estimated that it has been a few years old. There are quite a few books scattered on the bookshelves, including ordinary printing and hardcover editions, all of which have been covered with a thick layer of ash.

She picked up a book, patted the soil on it, opened it to check, and found that there was not a single line of words on the page, only dried and smudged blood stains.

It was like this for several consecutive books, until she opened another hardcover book in the corner and saw that someone had dipped their fingers in blood on the title page and wrote a line of words crookedly:

I am across from you.

... She raised her head sharply, and saw that in the gap where the hardcover book had just been placed, there was a bloodshot, white and black eye staring fiercely at her.

She looked at that eye for two seconds, but didn't notice any change. She simply raised her hand and stuffed the book back to its original place, blocking the other's vision.

She turned around the bookshelf, and when she turned around, she realized that Qin Ce, who was following behind her just now, had disappeared strangely.

"Qin Ce?"

She called twice, but didn't hear a response, so she took two steps to another row of bookshelves.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that someone was lightly touching her shoulder, little by little, like a rhythmic tapping.

She paused for a while, then looked up—

On the ceiling of the library, a red-clothed female ghost was hung with hemp rope. The female ghost's tongue was hanging to her chest, her head was tilted, and a pair of dark eyes were staring at her.

Its feet swayed, and every time it swayed, it kicked her shoulders.

At the moment when one person and one ghost looked at each other, the hemp rope suddenly fell, and the female ghost's nails became longer and sharper, and grabbed it towards Ling Chengmu's face.

Ling Chengmu copied the blind stick with one hand, pressed against the female ghost's head on the spot, and slammed it back into the ceiling.

The blade popped out, instantly piercing the back of the female ghost's head.

The lights in the library flickered a few times, then suddenly went out, and the line of sight fell into darkness.

There were faint cries all around.

Countless pairs of blood-red eyes gradually appeared in the darkness, densely packed, making people shudder.

The road in front of her was too narrow, Ling Chengmu was irritable for a while, and jumped up and kicked over the nearest bookshelf.

A loud bang drowned out the rustling cry.

The blood-red eyes that were observing secretly around them collectively blinked for a moment, as if they had received a signal.

The slowly rising black mist is gradually eroding towards the center.

There was a slight distortion in the current space, and the next second, she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Amu?"

It was Qin Ce's voice, there was nothing wrong.

Reason reminded her that this situation should never be turned back.

But her instinctive reaction was one step faster than her reason, and she still turned around.

The ghost with blue face and **** eyes raised the sharp knife in his hand towards her.

She took a step back, and the blade of the blind stick made a sharp wind and stabbed the opponent in the chest.

...

The tip of the knife was only half an inch away from the opponent's heart, Ling Chengmu's five fingers folded together, and he just held back his strength.

That strong intuition stopped her from killing.

The opponent's blade was placed between her neck, and it also stopped at the most critical moment.

The black smoke dissipated, the lights in the library turned on again, Li Gui's face changed from blurred to clear, and finally changed back to Qin Ce's appearance.

It wasn't a sharp knife, but Qin Ce's throwing stick.

She exclaimed: "Did you call me just now?"

"No." Qin Ce took the weapon and replied in a deep voice, "I heard you calling me instead."

It's a hallucination, a hallucination for each other.

He took a step forward and wanted to get close to her, but he was blocked by an invisible barrier in the middle.

He tried again and found that even the weapon couldn't penetrate it this time.

After a long while, a mirror surface appeared like a ripple, reflecting him on one side and her on the other.

What he and her face are mirror images of each other.

What's more difficult is that the two of them are trapped in this square, unable to move forward, let alone retreat.

Ling Chengmu stroked the smooth and cold mirror, and his eyes stayed on Qin Ce's body in the mirror.

This seems to be a dead end, and no matter what you choose, you have to take a very high risk.

"We can only break this mirror," she said.

"Have you thought about the consequences?"

It may be like the formation in the mirror in the Infinite Horror Division. If the mirror is broken, the person in the mirror will die.

"I thought about it, but there's no better way, besides..." Ling Chengmu glanced back, "We're running out of time."

The space of the library is rapidly shrinking, and the walls on all four sides are advancing towards the center. If you don't leave as soon as possible, wait at most 30 seconds, and the two of them will be squeezed to death here.

Since it's a death no matter what, it's better to gamble.

Hearing Qin Ce ask her, "Are you afraid?"

Ling Chengmu smiled: "In my dictionary, there is no word for fear."

"great."

The two of them raised their weapons and faced each other's image in the mirror. With desperate momentum, Thunder shot down.

There were fine cracks on the mirror surface, but the people outside the mirror were not injured.

At the moment when the mirror surface was completely shattered, the wind suddenly rose and the library space collapsed.

Ling Chengmu stepped down and looked down to see the ground collapsed under her feet, and she had lost her focus.

She immediately felt a tightness between her wrists, and Qin Ce directly dragged her into his arms.

The smell of blood was strong, and in the shrill cry of ghosts, the two fell towards the bottomless abyss together.

...

Ling Chengmu didn't have a very good idea of ​​how long it had been falling.

In short, when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the playground of Hongfeng High School.

The space teleported her from the library to the outside.

The bones in my body hurt so much, I don't know why.

She touched herself, making sure she wasn't hurt, but...

The more you touch it, the worse it gets.

She looked down at her hand.

The knuckles of these hands are slender and powerful, and they look good, but they obviously belong to men's hands.

The watch on the left wrist, with a dark golden light flickering, has a low-key and luxurious design, which seems to be the chief standard of the Time and Space Inspectorate.

Her school uniform is blue and white plaid.

A chill appeared on her back, and she raised her head in shock.

Not far away, a figure was slowly getting up, and then came towards her facing the moonlight.

The woman was wearing a red and white plaid school uniform, still wearing a delicate five-strand braid.

...it's herself.
