There was a rustling sound in the silent night.
Xu Zhixi was woken up and frowned slightly. She sat up and turned on the bedside lamp switch.
There was no one around, and the inexplicable noise just now disappeared.
She stretched out her hand to rub her brows, turned her head and saw that a few pages of the notebook that had been casually placed on the bedside last night had been opened. She took it, and the page that was opened was written with the name Lin Zhi.
Forest system...
Lin Xian's younger brother.
According to what Lin Xian said, Lin Zhi was among their group of people who were sacrificed. So he is dead and has become a ghost loyal to Death.
But...she roughly flipped through the people in front and behind, and there were more or less twenty or thirty people.
Lin Zhi is still there, but what about them?
Is it hidden here or has it completely disappeared?
She always felt that the previous records were a bit strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange at the moment... She turned to the page where their names were recorded, and it said that their survival period was only five days.
Deadline is before August 14, XXXX.
date!
Xu Zhixi received enlightenment.
That's what she found strange. It is obviously a death note, but there is no date of death of the deceased. It is obvious that there is a date when the death is predicted, but there is no reason why it should not be recorded after the death.
Xu Zhixi desperately wanted to find the God of Death for answers.
"Bang bang bang——"
There was a rapid knock on the door.
Xu Zhixi's back tensed.
"Miss, are you still alive? Open the door for me while you are still alive!"
Shen Su's voice.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Zhixi relaxed slightly for a moment, but then became alert again. She wasn't entirely sure whether it was really Shen Su outside the door.
"Do you know who my favorite person is?"
The person outside the door seemed a little confused, "Huh? How did I know..."
"Fool!"
The cold female voice cursed lightly, and then she said in a loud voice: "She is confirming our identities. Xu Zhixi, according to your character in the dungeon, the one you like should be the pretentious Zhou Jibai."
Xu Zhixi opened the door and was slightly surprised.
The two people outside the door looked a little miserable, especially Shen Su.
Her hair, which was always well-kept, was messy, and there was a faint bloodstain on her handsome and handsome face. Although Su Yan didn't see any wounds, her hair, which had been tied in a ponytail, was spread out, her brows were condensed, and she was in a very bad mood.
"What are you two doing?"
Xu Zhixi turned aside to let them in, and then locked the door with her backhand.
"Don't mention it." Shen Su waved his hand, "Su Yan came to me before and said she saw a line of words in mid-air. We were discussing when we met the God of Death, and we were attacked by the masked ghost standing next to him. Want to If I hadn't pulled Su Yan to run fast, we would all have died."
"Words in mid-air?"
Xu Zhixi said doubtfully.
Su Yan nodded, "I saw a line of words in mid-air that said, 'If you want to live, kill someone to die for you.' I guess it's because my name appeared on the notebook yesterday."
"I think those who, like me, will die early will see this line of text."
Su Yan's words further confirmed that Xu Zhixi's previous speculation was correct.
Those who are declared dead in advance will intensify the killing of their fellow travelers if they learn that they can exchange the lives of others for their own.
She told them her speculations, as well as her previous doubts about Zhao Yin's sudden change of name to Su Yan.
The two of them were also lost in thought.
Su Yan thought: "There should be some kind of power controlling this notebook, and the date of death must be hidden. Then the date of death must be a key point. Could it be...the God of Death?"
But Xu Zhixi knew it wasn't the God of Death, but she couldn't tell them directly.
"Why don't we watch it tomorrow. Let's get some sleep first?"
Shen Su spread his hands and shrugged, looking at the two people left and right.
Su Yan glanced at him coldly, "Do you still want to sleep? Don't forget that my brother escaped from the God of Death. However, the God of Death doesn't seem to be interested in killing us and just stood there without moving. On the contrary, The not-so-powerful ghost next to him has been attacking us."
Ghosts...
Is it forest system?
"What does that ghost look like?"
"Tall and thin, wearing a mask, he looks like Lin Xian."
"He is Lin Xian." Shen Su was very sure this time and put away his careless look, "I am very good at recognizing people. I can spot this guy at a glance. You guessed it right before, this one Lin Xian did not die, but followed the God of Death."
Xu Zhixi continued to ask, "How do you know it's Lin Xian and not someone very similar to him?"
Shen Su confidently said: "The person's appearance may be similar, but he has covered up his appearance, and his temperament and body shape are exactly the same. So, there is only one possibility, he is Lin Xian. And the way he attacks people is to chop with a dagger, which is not the case at all. Like a ghost."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows, "I didn't expect you to observe people so carefully."
"Harm-" Shen Su smiled proudly, "Being an A-level player must have some skills. My skill is to have a photographic memory of a person."
The three people's preliminary inferences only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
Lin Xian was not dead and was following the God of Death.
A person whose death is predicted can kill someone in exchange for his life.
The notebook hides the dates of those people's deaths.
In addition, Xu Zhixi also knew that the God of Death would not control the contents of the notebook. In other words, there is a force secretly controlling the contents of the notebook.
The hands point to eight o'clock in the morning.
Xu Zhixi and the others went downstairs with their notebooks and bumped into Zhou Jibai and Zhao Yin who were going out together.
They came out of a room at the same time.
Seeing Xu Zhixi, Zhao Yin's eyes showed shock, as if he didn't expect that she was still alive.
"Didn't you already..."
"You were sacrificed to the God of Death, right?" Xu Zhixi curled her lips and smiled, continuing her unfinished words.
"Sorry, it seems my sacrifice failed."
There was no sacrifice at all.
Because Lin Xian, who was the first person recorded in the notebook, "escaped to death", he did not take over the "killing someone in exchange for a life" link. Therefore, they did not know that the real sacrifice could only be completed by killing the person.
The sacrifice was not a person at all.
But everyone.
This notebook is for everyone to die with...
Zhou Jibai's eyes were intertwined with light and dark. He pursed his lips and looked at Xu Zhixi with a hoarse voice: "Zhixi, just hope you're okay." He gently pulled the corners of his lips, as if he was relieved.
Xu Zhixi took out the notebook and turned to their page. "The content here has changed again. The death dates of Su Yan and Zhou Jibai have continued to this day."
Zhao Yin was surprised and said: "Is it because you didn't make the sacrifice successfully, so you still have to die in vain? We all have to die too?"
Xu Zhixi raised her eyebrows and replied, "That's right."
"Then how can I sacrifice you to the God of Death?"
Chen Su hugged his chest and frowned deeply, "You mean to ask Xu Zhixi to sacrifice again. You are too vicious."
"I -" Zhao Yin's quiet and gentle expression broke for a moment. She hid behind Zhou Jibai and said timidly: "I just want to save all of us. Sacrificing her alone can save everyone." Is it not good?"
This made Shen Su laugh angrily, and he snorted coldly: "Then why don't you be the person who sacrifices himself for others."
"That's why Xu Zhixi drew the 1. It's because of her bad luck."
Zhao Yin whispered.
"alright!"
Zhou Jibai frowned and said, "Let's let this matter go. Let's deal with tonight first."
He was the one who got the bad draw.
He glanced at the girl aside. The girl was listening to Shen Su's speech with her head tilted to the side, with a calm smile on her lips.
Shen Su seemed to notice his gaze and rolled his eyes at him.
Zhou felt angry, but when he thought about the lottery again, the depression in his heart disappeared. So what if she and Shen Su were talking happily now, she was willing to die for him, which is something Shen Su would never get.
Xu Zhixi didn't know what Zhou Jibai was thinking.
Too many questions piled up in her mind, and she felt too uncomfortable.
She just wanted to rush to the God of Death immediately and get to the bottom of it.
Also, be intimate.
I wonder if the God of Death missed her...
