Chapter 54: How many true feelings are there in recalling 08?

"Dad!" Only four or five-year-old Muqin pushed the door into the study from outside, trotting and limping, and then lay on the knees of his adopted father, Mu Xuan.
Mu Xuan was practicing the piano. When she saw such a little carrot lying on her head, she couldn't help but smile softly. He stopped playing, hugged Muqin and let him sit on his lap.
Mu Qin sat in Mu Xuan's arms and curiously poked his head to look at the black and white keys in front of him. He subconsciously reached out and touched the smooth and cold keys, but he didn't dare to touch them too much. Little hands closed it back.
Seeing that the child was so careful, Mu Xuan smiled again, grabbed Muqin's paw, put his little hand on the keyboard, and said, "Daddy teach you to play the piano?"
Little Mu Qin was innocent, raised his furry head to Mu Xuan, and nodded his head and said, "Okay."
Although Mu Xuan said he was going to teach him to play the piano, at the time Mu Qin was too young, only under five years old, and was a lively and cheerful little turnip head without much discrimination and learning ability. When Mu Xuan tried to press on a certain key, he asked Mu Qin to learn his movements and press the key he had pressed, but the young Mu Qin pressed the wrong key, and the child stabbed another key with his hands. The piano immediately made a high-pitched sound, which scared the child into a shudder and shrank toward Mu Xuan's arms.
Mu Xuan was so funny, he reached out and squeezed the child's face, and the child dragged Mu Xuan's clothes and shouted, "Dad ... you play, you play, you play nice!"
"Then my father will play the piano for you. You sit still and don't move, will you?" Mu Xuan said softly to the child.
Little Muqin nodded vigorously, muttering, "Play the piano!"
Mu Xuan pressed the child's head and kissed him on the cheek. Then he sat up straight and began to play the piano. His fingers were long and white, like butterflies dancing on the keys, one by one in black or white. He wandered around the keys, and then the beautiful music was born between his hands. The melody was long and gentle, like the sound of a barking bird in the mountains and forests.
After the song was over, Mu Xuan just wanted to continue to tease the little carrot head in his arms, and his wife's voice rang out. Mu Xuan's wife's name is Shi Shilan. There seems to be something wrong. Shi Shilan shouted, "Mu Xuan, come here!"
Mu Xuan had to get up holding the little Mu Qin in his arms, and then placed Mu Qin in a chair in front of the piano, and said to Mu Qin, "Baby, Dad is going to help my mother. You play the piano here, Okay? "
The baby Mu Qin nodded obediently, and said with great popularity, "Dad go, Mu Qin can play alone!"
Mu Xuan didn't worry that the child would destroy the piano, because Muqin was a cute and obedient child. He had big dark eyes, pink nose, rosy lips, and a face with baby fat. It was really cute. He died, seeing Mu Xuan's heart itch, so he took another kiss on Mu Qin's face and rubbed the soft hair on Mu Qin's head, Mu Xuan got up and left the study, went out to find his wife Already.
Muqin was left alone to sit at the piano.
He was too small, and even sitting on the piano chair, the keys were flush with his sight, and his little arms were short and out of reach.
So Mu Qin kicked off his shoes, helped the chair to get up, and then staggered to stand on the piano chair. When he stood, he could indeed reach the keys, but the keys seemed too low. Press one He needs to bend down slightly, which is not convenient and uncomfortable, so Muqin kept changing his posture, and finally chose to kneel on the piano chair.
It's much more comfortable.
Mu Qin was very happy, and began to learn how to adopt the keys one by one as an adoptive father. However, his musical talent was terrible. I did n’t know how many keys were pressed, the piano made a messy sound, and Mu Xuan just played The beautiful and moving tones are quite different.
Little Muqin didn't quite understand why, and why his dad could play so nicely, but he could only make such a bad voice?
"That's because you haven't learned it."
Just as Muqin Xiao was thinking like this, a vague female voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Little Muqin stumbled and turned to look at the sound source, and found a woman in front of the window next to the piano.
A translucent woman, like a ghost. She wore a white dress with her bare feet slightly suspended from the ground, she had black hair growing to the waist, and her skirt and hair flowed without wind. Perhaps because of the translucency, her features and features were not clear, and there was a hazy sense of seeing flowers in the mist.
Little Muqin saw such a "translucent female ghost" in vain, and she was not afraid, she reached out and shouted at the woman, "Mom!"
Then the child jumped down from the piano chair, crawled down and down, and immediately fell down and fell into a dog-eating style. Fortunately, a furry carpet was laid on the floor of the study, and he did not fall. He quickly got up and rushed towards the translucent woman.
The woman is translucent. Of course Mu Qin can't touch her. He seems to know this too well. When he comes to the woman, he no longer moves forward. Instead, he sits on the carpet and lifts his head to see the floating "Mom." .
"Next time you have to be careful, you can't jump straight out of the chair. I can't touch you, I can't catch you." This translucent woman softly told Mu Qin that she held out her hand, as if to touch Muqin's head, but her fingers penetrated Muqin's hair, which seemed to make her very helpless, and then put her hands back.
"And, don't call my mother at this house, you already have a new mother." The woman continued to Mu Qin, "I will not come to see you often again in the future."
"Mom!" Mu Qin actually didn't understand what this translucent woman was saying. He was very stubborn at a young age and said, "You are a mother!"
"I'm not your mother." The woman shook her head. "No more."
"No, you are the mother!" Mu Qin was so stubborn about this problem. When the woman repeatedly denied it, he started to cry, crying, "Mom!"
Mu Qin's cry so immediately caught the attention of Mu Xuan and his wife Shi Lan outside the room. The two quickly put down their work and came to the study to appease Mu Qin. Hearing Mu Qin crying to his mother, Shi Shilan rushed to pick up Mu Qin, hugged him and touched his head, soothed softly and said, "Mom is here, baby won't cry."
But Mu Qin was still crying. He subconsciously held Shi Shilan's clothes in one hand and kept yelling at his mother.
"Mom is here." Shi Shilan touched Mu Qin's head and wondered, "Why are you crying? Is there something to hold?"
After speaking, Shi Shilan turned her head and stared at her husband with questioning eyes, and said to Mu Xuan, "What did you do with him just now?"
Mu Xuan suddenly couldn't help crying: "No, absolutely no good! This is not just that you told me to move things in the past ... I just put him on the piano chair and let him play ..."
"Putting on a piano chair? He must have fallen on such a high chair! No wonder he would cry!" Shi Shilan held Mu Qin to coax left and right, then quarreled with Mu Xuan, rebuked: "You ca n’t even take care of a child it is good!"
Mu Xuan stunned the soft carpet on the floor, but he couldn't refute, and had to admit wrong: "Wife, I was wrong."
Mu Qin did not cry for a long time. After being comforted by Shi Shilan a few times, he stopped crying. He opened his red eyes and looked at Shi Shilan, and shouted at Shi Shilan his mother again. She was so cute, Shi Shilan couldn't help but kissed Muqin in the past, and said happily, "My babies are so cute."
Mu Qin, who was kissed, had a silly expression on his face, Shi Shilan hugged him to leave the study because it was almost time for lunch.
But Shi Shilan didn't know that Mu Qin, who was lying in her arms, lay on her shoulders and stared at the window in the study.
Because the translucent white dress woman was standing by the window.
"Mom!" Muqin shouted at the woman.
In response, Shi Shilan rubbed Mu Qin's head and said, "Baby is so good."
...
It was a long-forgotten memory.
Mu Qin opened his eyes. In front of him was the pure white safety house and the virtual screen of the system suspended in the center of the house. That screen was displaying a snake's cross, a proprietary symbol of the fringe world.
Muqin stared at the snake cross for a long time, and then thought to himself, "Ah ... I'm coming in again."
Entering this game for the first time, Mu Qin thought it was because of psychiatrist He Qiu and his music box. The second time he entered the game, Mu Qin believed that he had the white card on his body and was shot by the king's possessed police ...
But the third time, why?
Returning to this safe house money, Mu Qin remembers lying in Xu Lin's hospital. Zhou Yue was sleeping beside him. The two of them were put together to sleep next to each other.
When Mu Qin saw Zhou Yue falling asleep, he had no memory of the marginal world at that time, and fell asleep while holding Zhou Yue's hand. The night was very peaceful. The security work of Xu Lin Hospital was good, and the door of the ward was locked by the nurse. In addition, Zhou Yue and the king have made an agreement, so the king will no longer have someone to harass them, they should not have any danger, they are well protected.
Before he fell asleep, Mu Qin felt that he was in good health, and it was impossible for him to die suddenly during sleep, so he should not have died. He was alive and well alive in the real world.
Why did I come in?
Mu Qin lowered his head and thought, the white card was taken away by Zhou Yue. The two were likely to be "media" music boxes and crosses, because they had been kept in Peng Zhe's bag before. When Zhe attacked, Peng Zhe took the bag and pressed Mu Qin's foot on the accelerator, so the two things were always on the car that Mu Qin rented.
Later, Mu Qin was taken to Xu Lin's hospital. Mu Qin asked Xu Haoyu to return the car, and Xu Haoyu temporarily took it away and placed it in the hospital's locker.
It should be that there is nothing that can serve as a "media" that can guide Muqin's soul to this world.
But Muqin still came.
Or ... is it something I have to do with this world?
Muqin couldn't help thinking this way, and he felt that the direction of this thinking was correct. He may indeed have a strange connection with the world ...
Although Mu Qin himself couldn't remember it, coupled with the early death of his adoptive parents, their departure has always been the shadow of Mu Qin's heart, so Mu Qin has always been resistant to remembering himself.
But as a child, Muqin remembered having two "mum".
One is naturally the mother-in-law Shi Lan, the wife of his adoptive father, Mu Xuan. Since the adoption of Mu Qin, the couple has always regarded Mu Qin as their biological child. Mu Qin and their relationship are naturally very deep, because the bond is too strong. After they left, Muqin couldn't return to God for a long time.
The other "mother", Muqin couldn't remember.
Mu Qin didn't remember what happened in the orphanage when he was zero to three years old. When he asked his adoptive parents, his adoptive mother Shi Lan once said to Mu Qin: "I asked the staff in the hospital and said you were in the hospital. I often call my mother in an empty place. "
After he was three years old, Mu Qin was taken home by his adoptive parents before he was officially named "Mu Qin". At the beginning, Mu Qin was more restrained and unaccustomed. He was very afraid of strange environments and would not call his parents. Mom, although Mu Xuan and Shi Shilan have been patiently guided, but Mu Qin was silent and did not speak until one day, somehow, Mu Qin went to Shi Shilan and called his mother, which made Shi Shilan happy at the time It was terrible, and he held Muqin three turns.
After that, Mu Qin could call adoptive parents father and mother fluently, and completely integrated into their family, was attracted by all kinds of attention and petting. Mu Qin now remembers that when he was full with adoptive parents, A happy life that is calm and occasionally full of surprises.
Although they later left, they left Muqin a huge indelible wealth. They were the best mentors in Muqin's life. They also shaped Muqin now.
Muqin is very grateful to his adoptive parents, but occasionally, Muqin also feels guilty about them.
I don't know where this guilt comes from, but it kept coming to Mu Qin's heart. He couldn't find the reason, he just felt sad.
In Muqin's initial memory, one of the two moms was a "ghost mom", who always appeared in front of Muqin in a translucent floating posture. With the exception of her beautiful white dress, Muqin could never see her. Mu Qin knew that it was this ghost who brought Mu Qin to Shi Shilan. The ghost pointed at Shi Shilan and said to Mu Qin, "Mum."
Muqin looked at her puzzledly. So the ghost repeated again: "Come on, call her mother! From now on, she will be your only mother."
Muqin was just a child at that time, and after being urged several times, he instinctively called after his mother.
But how much sincerity is there in this title?
After six years old, the ghost mother disappeared and never appeared in front of Mu Qin's eyes, so in the following time, Mu Qin gradually forgot this ghost mom, and even remembered when he grew up, he felt that It was just a hallucination in his childhood, a memory that mixed dreams with reality. He didn't have any "ghost mother". He only had Shi Shilan, a mother.
Later, Mu Qin became more and more convinced that what he saw as a child was just an illusion. He was busy living and working, and gradually forgot all these things until today.
"Illusion ... It's just my hallucination." Mu Qin soothed himself. He wandered around the system screen for several times in the safe house, and finally felt that he calmed down a little bit, and then returned to the system screen and shouted. One sound system.
"Welcome back to the marginal world. System 3780 is at your service. Mr. Muqin, may I have any needs?"
The female voice, who was very familiar with the system, was like a bird's song softly and gently. Mu Qin was inexplicably relaxed and said, "Check the results of my last game."
"Inquiring, please wait ..."
"Your last game map was 'Despair Paradise'"
"A total of three people were killed and the killer triumphed. Two humans escaped. You are one of the survivors."
"You get a total of 16,877 reward points in the last game, and your remaining rewards are 16,877. You can use any purchased items or skills."
The reward score was much higher than Muqin imagined. In fact, it was quite a surprise to Muqin. After all, he felt that he didn't do anything in the game ... but the last game was a double ghost game, and the mechanism for getting reward points and other ordinary There are some differences in the game, and in the end he and Zhou Yue walked in the amusement park for a long time, and the "chasing" with the ghost seemed to be able to continue to score.
In this way, Muqin feels that the rules and mechanics of this game have a lot of holes.
However, it is precisely because there is time to drill, that some people become greedy when they gain, and they want to gain more points, but greed often hurts themselves.
Mu Qin hasn't figured out how to spend such a lot of money. He decided to contact Zhou Yue first, so he ran to the wall where he talked with Zhou Yue before, squatting, and looked at the various things on the wall. Doodles and messages.
Some people still paint some strange and confusing calligraphy on the wall, and some people want to make a transaction to leave a message. Muqin also saw a lot of conversation messages that may have been encrypted.
Mu Qin wrote the carcassed Zhou Yue as usual, and then waited for Zhou Yue to contact him, but waited for an hour to pass, waited until his writing on the wall disappeared, and did not wait for Zhou Yue's reply.
Mu Qin was not in a hurry. He calmly recalled his thoughts and realized that Zhou Yue might still be in a certain game now.
Previously, Zhou Yue ’s confrontation with the king may have erased his memory and therefore could n’t understand Mu Qin, but now that Mu Qin thinks back, he can instantly understand the meaning of Zhou Yue ’s words at that time.
The reason why Zhou Yue can "wake up" in the real world is to use some method to get his soul back to the real world for a short time. This temporary return is not difficult to think. After Mu Qin released his mind, he quickly thought Zhou Yue is likely to ask a "friend" for help. He asked a friend to play a "killer" role in a game and killed Zhou Yue. After his death, Zhou Yue's soul naturally returned to the present world, and then that friend used it in the game. The upside-down person resurrected Zhou Yue, and then he could easily pull Zhou Yue back.
Although it is impossible to witness or verify in person, this method Muqin imagined.
Knowing that Zhou Yue was in the game, Mu Qin had no other choice but to wait for him to come out.
Muqin asked the system if he could stay in the safe house for a few days, and the system responded: three days. So Muqin realized that the time he spent in the real world did not seem to be counted by the system during the three-day rest period in the safe house.
The three days were very short. Mu Qin could not confirm the exact time when Zhou Yue could come out of the game, so he would only be able to leave a message on the wall repeatedly every day, waiting for Zhou Yue's reply. If they were lucky, they might be able to In the game, if you can't, then the situation is very bad.
After all, the king on the throne of the butterfly said that only to give Yue Yue five days, Zhou Yue must find a usurper, and let the usurper take the wheel of fate to find the usurper.
However, Mu Qin judged that Zhou Yue had absolutely lied at that time, so that Zhou Yue did not find any usurper at all, and whether the wheel of fate was unknown or not, even Zhou Yue did not seem to have the so-called world card.
At that time, Zhou Yue said those words, just to stop the king from harassing them ... or just to protect Mu Qin, after all, if the king keeps chasing Zhou Yue's physical body, it will definitely affect Mu Qin next to Zhou Yue. As a result of the injury, Zhou Yue estimated that she was afraid that Mu Qin would be affected, so in order to drive away the king, Zhou Yue put down such a big word to deceive the king.
Although the King believed, Mu Qin, who was familiar with Zhou Yue, knew that he was lying.
Sometimes people tell a lie and need to lie with a bigger lie.
There is no world, no usurper, and maybe no wheel of fate. Mu Qin really does not know what method Zhou Yue will use to beat that king.
Deep in thought and entanglement, Mu Qin sat in the safe house and scratched his head with his hands, feeling that his chest was a little choked.
Come and think of a way.
Muqin said to himself.
He wanted to help Zhou Yue. He just wanted to help Zhou Yue. He knew that Zhou Yue was in a very difficult situation. Perhaps Mu Qin couldn't help anything, but Mu Qin didn't want to remain silent and didn't want to just stay there and do nothing. Muqin knew ... there would always be something he could do.
correct.
Muqin flashed suddenly, and he suddenly realized something.
At first he listened to the conversation between Zhou Yue and the king. The king said that he gave Zhou Yue five days. These five days ... the other party did not say that it was five days in the real world or five days in the game.
Because the time between the two is very different.
Muchin can roughly infer that an hour in the game is equivalent to one day in the real world, and the time in the safe house is synchronized with the real world.
If the king was talking about five days in the real world, there would be only five days. If he is talking about five days in the game, then Mu Qin and Zhou Yue will have a lot of time. Five days in the game is 120 hours. 120 hours is equivalent to 120 days in the world, which means that Zhou Yue and Mu Qin have four months to prepare.
Muqin believes that the five-day time referred to by the king largely refers to the five days in the game. After all, the king is now trapped in a game map. He is a veteran player. In the situation, he must also be able to guess that Zhou Yue is still in the game. The shortest game is two or three hours, and it takes an average of five or six hours, and sometimes it takes even longer. All three days are possible.
Staying in the game for two or three days, I don't know how long it has been since I came out.
So if the king asked for five days in the real world, then Zhou Yue could not keep up with the time to find the usurper and give him the wheel of destiny.
In the end, the king himself needs time to deploy. He needs to think about the plan to deal with the usurper. If he specified five days in the real world, wouldn't the king have only five hours in the throne map to find a solution?
Thinking about it that way, Mu Qin was suddenly open, and he was not in a hurry to contact Zhou Yue, anyway, now he can't wait.
So Mu Qin stood up, walked to the system screen, and opened the system's mall.
