Chapter 1: Subway station with clown

The summer of 2093 was unexpectedly short.
At the end of April, the temperature gradually increased. It had not been hot for a few months before it was hit by an early autumn rain.
In the miserable wind and rain, fewer people even went out.
Lin Yining stood in the subway, grasped the handrails, and used his other hand to adjust the wet umbrella.
There must be no seats during the peak hours of get off work. Lin Yining tried his best to keep his balance and looked towards the other car. The carriage slowly shakes with the rhythm of the subway, accompanied by warm yellow lights, with a slight sense of magic.
boom--
The subway is running.
His eyes met a young woman with a sophisticated dress. It seemed that she raised her head unconsciously, her eyes did not stay on Lin Yining's face, glanced blankly around her, and then lowered her head again, staring at the phone, the phone was the forum page, she was flying fast Type four words in the reply column and your mother is dead.
There are many people here, but they are not noisy. They seem to be more used to hoarse on the Internet.
Especially today, when there are frequent cases of disappearances, no victims have returned. There is wine now and drunk now, to control others and tomorrow.
"The train is running, please stand firm and reach the station ahead..."
A fake and cheerful female voice sounded in the carriage, the subway arrived at the station, stopped, and moved on again.
There were more people in the car.
Lin Yining struggled to maintain his balance and took out his phone from his pocket. If he heard correctly, he heard his phone just rang.
There is an app on the desktop.
He didn't know if this was any junk advertisement he accidentally pressed, he tried to put his finger on the icon and wanted to uninstall the app. Unexpectedly, the screen suddenly went dark.
Immediately after the screen lights up, a bright and dazzling clown appears suddenly, as if to rush out of the screen.
Lin Yining frowned and pressed the phone. He was standing now, inconvenient to operate the mobile phone, thinking about handling it after getting off the bus at the station, but at this time, there was a burst of light music in his ears.
"The Doom Assistant installation is complete."
what sound? Lin Yining felt that he had listened.
He pressed the phone again, clicked on the app, and saw a clean and refreshing interface. At the top of the avatar column is a photo of him-much better than the photo taken by the ID photo and his crappy selfie technique. There are a few lines next to the avatar.
Lin Yining: 26 years old
Level: 0 (Experience 0/150)
The personal resume is empty in the next column, and there seems to be nothing further down, he didn't take a closer look. The app is swiped to the right. The second screen is the backpack interface. It has a total of 10 squares and is empty. There is a forum at the back, divided into several areas, chatting, transaction sharing, etc. The latest post list at the bottom has been refreshed. The title: this What is it? How can't this app be uninstalled?
Of course Lin Yining didn't know.
Lin Yining's strange appearance made him very strange. Looking around, the lively noise in the crowd gave him a sense of security. One day's work has exhausted him. Instead of tangling with this sudden appearance, he would rather go home after a supper and get a good night's sleep.
However, the train door did not open for a long time.
"What the hell." Someone whispered in a low voice.
The anxiety gradually spread among the crowd, at this time, the lights in the subway went out. A few wisps of light shone through the glass door and shone on everyone's face, with a hint of psychedelia.
With a bang, the lights suddenly turned on, and before anyone could react, they were surprised to find that the metal subway car turned into transparent glass.
· They clearly saw that there was also a subway full of passengers on the opposite side. The passengers inside looked at them with the same panic.
There were no passengers waiting for the bus in the open space between the two trains, no staff to maintain order, and even the elevator was gone.
Immediately, they were surprised to find that they were retreating, and the open space in the middle was growing rapidly, gradually becoming a hall with more than three times the original area.
A man with a clown mask descended from the sky and bowed to them.
"Good evening, gentlemen and ladies," he said.
Lin Yining found that the clown made him very familiar, he quickly reacted, it was the clown he saw on the app he just downloaded.
"This is a game developed by ma22 galaxy smile company, the Chinese name is Doomsday Carnival, the closed beta is just over, you are the first batch of official players." Clown's dark pupil Hitomi smiled with a little, "I am gm of the game Responsible for your novice guidance, you can call me a clown."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Actually, I am still the intelligent core of this game-I am an AI. If you can survive, we will often face each other." The clown tilted his head and smiled: "Then we will introduce the rules of the game now. Doomsday Carnival is an unlimited battle royale game. You can clear the copy to upgrade. You can complete the final challenge after completing the level. After completing the final challenge, you can leave the game. As for other rules, it’s gone."
"Here is a copy of Jingcheng Chengxi subway station. What are you going to do? It's very simple. After killing another player, you will get tickets to go out, or kill them -"
There were five platforms rising slowly around him, each with an animal on it, namely a vulture, a monkey, a wolf, a crocodile, and a bear.
These animals are similar to the creatures on the earth, but they are not exactly the same. They look malicious in the eyes of everyone. The monkey seemed to be interested, sipping his teeth at the crowd, and it was more human than a throat cut.
The clown bowed gracefully again: "Let's know each other, after all, you will have an intimate relationship that you have never had in the next few hours."
The words fell, and the five beasts all roared.
Other than that, there was no more sound, and there was death-like silence around.
Suddenly the vulture moved, passed through the layer of transparent glass, and grabbed a woman from inside. Her phone was still in camera mode. The monkey also ran out, carrying a man from the crowd.
"Very well, you seem to be very enthusiastic about participating in this game." The clown said: "Then use you to demonstrate the rules of the game."
The woman panicked, pale, and said, "I don't know who you are, what is the purpose of making such a prank, but I have already called the police, and the police will be here soon. You better not use any other means."
The monkey lay on the clown's shoulder and squeaked, his smile full of mockery. Indeed, I am afraid that women do not believe this. Only in an instant, the metal compartment of the subway became transparent glass, which was enough to make people uneasy.
The man shouted, "I didn't do anything!"
"I just hate thieves." The clown smiled and suddenly waved his hand. A pillar appeared on the ground. The man flew out of thin air and was tied to the pillar.
There was an extra knife in the woman's hand.
Lin Yining keenly observed that after holding the knife in her hand, the woman's movements no longer seemed to be under her own control.
She took the knife and walked forward step by step. The man on the pillar was dull and shook her head desperately, but the woman was even worse than him: "Help! Who will save me... I don't want to kill..."
After her, no one wanted to be the rafter in his early days.
Her hands were shaking, but her feet were still moving forward step by step, reaching for the thief.
This is a knife that should not belong to urban white-collar workers. It is clean, beautiful, and deadly.
Fortunately, the thief died quickly, and he did not suffer much.
After he swallowed completely, the blood on the ground, together with the corpse, slowly turned into a spot of light and gathered together to form a light cluster.
The clown stepped forward, reached into the light group, and took out a temporary subway ticket that they were no longer familiar with.
But what was printed on the magnetic card became a few distorted words.
"Kill a person, you can get a ticket to go out, every time you kill one of my friends, you can get 5 tickets, when they all die, all members pass." The clown said: "Relax, don't do this If you are facing an enemy, this is a novice field, it will not be difficult..."
He tucked the magnetic card into the woman's hand and whispered in her ear: "Learning to kill is the first thing to survive here. You are doing very well. Well, take your loot and go ,you deserve this……"
Regaining control of the body, the woman trembles with a trance, and then makes a harsh scream.
The wolf rushed up and bit off the woman's neck.
"It's too noisy." The clown shook his head and said with a smile.
"Five minutes after the barrier is opened, they will not attack you, you can make a choice."
"Okay, if there are no other problems, then let's start the game."
