Chapter 13 The first game
Dean's Office.
Hannibal sat opposite the dean, and in his hand was holding an application for entry.
The reason why I use the word "Pong" is because the application for employment... is as thick as a pile.
Why do you call them "one"? It is because these applications are really the same, regardless of the content, handwriting, etc., except that their papers are somewhat different. The application at the bottom looks like the page is brittle and it has been more than decades since then.
And the top one was the one submitted by Hannibal yesterday.
Hannibal looked around casually for a few times, then smiled: "Haha, it seems that I have been in this hospital at least a few hundred times."
The dean shook his head: "In fact, it's much more than these, but I don't know how many times there are, because my memories don't exist from the beginning."
"Oh, that's really interesting." Hannibal put the application aside and leaned on the sofa: "So, are you sure you want to tell me what's going on?"
"Of course." said the dean.
Hannibal raised his head slightly: "Okay, I would like to express my gratitude for your selflessness first, but...I have another question: Why do you tell me?"
The dean suddenly laughed helplessly: "Haha——As it turns out, you can still notice these details even in such a time of urgency. Okay, I'll answer your question... The reason I want to tell you all this is because I want to make a deal with you."
"trade?"
"Yes, transaction, this transaction is good for you and me, but the content of the transaction... I have to explain the whole story to you before explaining the whole story."
Hannibal nodded: "Well, a good reason, I like trading... Then, please tell me, I will listen carefully."
The dean nodded with a smile.
......
"You should already know that this is a game, and the location of the game is this world simulated by the Hall of Thoughts. The participants are you, and the old man lying on the bed: Will——As for us, it's just some npcs."
“npc!”
"Yes, we were just Will, in order to practice his profile, read a lot of news and newspapers about murderers, and his personality was simulated in his heart. We were just NPCs, which were props in the game between you two. Even at the beginning of the game, we didn't know that we were just a profiled personality."
"In that game, you fought alone, and Will led nearly a hundred murderers to kill you in the city. Well, as long as you have a head, you can see that this is a very unequal battle. No matter how powerful a person is, how can you fight against us, the army of murderers. However, Will repeatedly reminds us not to underestimate you, this battle is fair."
"Of course, we treated his words as farts. At that time, we were too arrogant. Many people even thought that they could kill you by their own strength... and you, using this, deliberately left some clues, lured a few of us, and let them leave the team one night and go to chase you."
"As a result... those people are gone forever. A few days later, we received some express delivery, which contained the cut off limbs on their bodies. There was also a bottle of valuable red wine. The card on it said that someone's gallbladder was broken, causing the liver to taste a little bitter, and it needed some brandy."
"Yes, I have to admit that you have completely angered us, so we started a large-scale search in the city regardless of dissuasion, and wanted to pull you out and kill you, but the facts were beyond our expectations again. Since the search began, our members have begun to disappear one after another. When we realized something was wrong, more than thirty people had been lost in the team."
"Finally, we began to be alert, gathered together every day, and even... a little scared, but when we thought we would never find you again, you suddenly appeared, and with you were the missing murderers. It took you more than a month to turn them all into your servants."
"Then, the real battle began, a big melee between the murderers. In fact, I had no idea what was going on at that time. I was just killing people, or ensuring that I was not killed. In the end, we seemed to be retreating step by step, and the survivors were trapped in this hospital."
However, when I felt that I must be finished, another huge reversal occurred. A person in your team suddenly turned against you and gave you a fatal blow. It turned out that the person was deliberately letting Will go away and then letting you control it. That guy seemed to be a congenital mental disability or a criminal with a dual personality. In short, your control seems not to be effective for him for a long time, and when he commits mental illness or a second personality appears, he immediately breaks away from your control.
At that moment, your spiritual power suddenly lost control, all the murderers were out of control, and we won!
Oh, no, it was Will who said he had the qualification to replace your body. In fact, it was not until then that we realized that we were just a group of NPCs.
But - do you think this is over? Haha, of course not, because just when you were about to die, your spiritual power seemed to have a breakthrough. At that time, you were completely matched with something you became [Super Brain]. Although I don’t know what a Super Brain is, in short, you overwhelmed Will and seized the ability to control this thinking world, so you sealed this hospital with all your strength! And formulated new rules of the game.
That is...only the dead can escape from the seal and escape from this world of thinking.
And just after you made this rule, you died because of excessive blood loss!”
Hearing this, Hannibal frowned...
After seeing Hannibal's puzzled expression, the dean continued, "Oh, I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, if you can escape as long as you die, wouldn't you have left this world at that time... Haha, of course it's not that simple... Because just before you die, your whole person's consciousness began to dissipate, but the moment when your heartbeat had not stopped, Will took over the palace of thinking in time. He wanted to transfer the rules, but... it was too late, and he could only add one to the original rules.
That is, this one traps you here, and at the same time, we and ourselves are trapped in this world."
Chapter completed!
