What is your choice? ?

You have chosen [C. Take the pen and paper from the other party and ask if the other party has mutual friends with you]

———————————————————————————————————

You've confirmed that the shampoo boy is not breathing, so it doesn't matter what happened to his body.You guessed that the body of the boy who washed his hair was probably carried away by Cheng Jin, so your attention fell back on the dream you had just realized.

You silently took the post-it note and fountain pen handed to you by the shampoo boy, bowed your head and started writing quickly.

"Do we have mutual friends?"

You see the obvious confusion on Cheng Jin's face after reading your note.You can't help but feel a little bit disappointed, and the premonition in your heart was confirmed again after seeing Cheng Jin's reply to your note.

"I remember you once said that you dreamed of me, and in the dream we didn't get along very well. I said we were just strangers at the time, and now I answer the same. This is the first time we have dealt with each other , how could there be mutual friends?"

Your eyes were glued to the note, and you pursed your lips unwillingly, but there was nothing you could do.

You think that the other party must know something, and the recurring appearance of Cheng Jin's name in your dream can't be a coincidence.But the confusion in his eyes is indeed genuine, making you anxious and speechless at the same time.

Cheng Jin really doesn't seem to know anything - at least on the surface.

Just when you were annoyed by this, the other party suddenly handed you a note with writing on it.

"Although we don't have mutual friends, maybe we can be friends."

You raised your head and looked at the other party with a complicated expression, but you saw Cheng Jin's eyes were calm, with a calm look on his face.

You feel that the situation is a little ridiculous and out of place.A murderer who kidnapped you to this place asked you if you want to be his friend?Even if Cheng Jin is not the perverted murderer, he is still the culprit who planned this game.

You can't see through Cheng Jin, and you don't understand what he really thinks about you.The hair-washing boy said that the other party likes you, but apart from the previous kiss and his gentle and considerate demeanor, he doesn't treat you like the person he likes at all.He did leave half a tube of sleeping pills before he left, allowing you to solve the biggest hidden danger at present by accident.But if you didn't inject the needle containing the "nutrition agent" into the shampoo boy's body, but instead injected yourself with the drug, wouldn't you be the one who died suddenly due to hyperthermia?

——The potion is not the key to your success in solving the shampoo boy. After all, if there is any mistake in the process, death awaits you.

You start to recall the scene when you came into contact with Cheng Jin, and you find that his position and attitude are extremely contradictory.On the surface, he dutifully monitors and plans the progress of the game for Sheng Jing, but secretly he ignores the rules of the game and secretly talks to you without telling Sheng Jing.He said that he was fascinated by you, but he was indifferent when you were skinned to death by the shampoo boy.He said that you are strangers, but not long ago, he also said that he is a stranger to you, but you are not to him.

And that remark about the same kind.He clearly had words when he spoke, but when you asked him about his intentions when he spoke, he stopped abruptly and avoided talking.

Cheng Jin is like a clay figurine without a firm stand, making it difficult for you to figure it out.

You were immersed in your own thoughts, until Cheng Jin handed you the newly written paper, and you broke free from thousands of thoughts.

"This game is supposed to be endless, but you have passed my test, so I intend to end this game."

Your gaze froze on the note for a moment, then suddenly raised your head to look at Cheng Jin.

game over?

Does that mean you can finally get out?

But before you were overjoyed by this sudden surprise, the next note sent you back to hell in an instant.

"You're lucky, but naivety and stupidity will ruin you sooner or later, it's too dangerous for you outside."

Cheng Jin saw that you had quickly read that line of words, and lightly turned the note over, and the words on it instantly plunged your lucky heart into the ice cellar.

"I decided to keep you. I will protect you."

When you read that line of words, a bad premonition suddenly arises in your heart.But without waiting for you to think about it, Yu Fang held your shoulder and stuck the needle into your skin.

Your brain started to feel dizzy after a while, and it didn't take long for your calf to go limp, and you fell down, but your body didn't hit the ground, and a clear breath surrounded you.

——Cheng Jin hugged your limp body.

You drooped your eyelids and wanted to ask what he meant, but the effect of the medicine had already taken effect, so you could only close your eyes unwillingly.

Soon you are falling into a deep sleep.

"What's your name?"

"........."

"Don't you like talking?"

"........."

"I heard people say that you are the same age as me, isn't it?"

Just hearing a "bang", the book that was originally opened was suddenly closed.

"You are noisy."

The person who made the sound was obviously less than 10 years old, and his voice had a softness unique to children, but his tone was light, giving people an unreasonable sense of alienation.

"My name is Cheng Jin, I don't like talking, and I'm the same age as you."

When you open your eyes, what you see is the man's chin in the mask, and only then do you realize that you are lying on the man's lap.

The masked man seemed to realize that you were awake, and lowered his head to meet your gaze.

Looking into his calm eyes, you immediately realize that the other party is Cheng Jin and not Sheng Jing.You opened your mouth to ask the other person, but suddenly realized that you didn't have a pen and paper in your hand.

You can't speak, because you will be heard by Sheng Jing in the opponent's body.

Your entanglement didn't last long, because Cheng Jin took out the plastic package from his pocket again, which contained the needle tube that you are all too familiar with.

You were taken aback for a moment, then straightened your back, trying to distance yourself from the other party.But Cheng Jin quickly grabbed your collar and pulled you back.

The moment the needle pierces your skin, a sudden wave of fear overwhelms you.

——What will happen if the other party keeps not communicating with you, but just blindly injects you with sleeping pills?

But you didn't have time to think more, and soon you fell into a coma again.

"Why do you always read "Flying Birds"? Do you like this book so much?"

"........."

"You've been here for so long, I seem to be your only friend."

"........."

"You are so out of gregarious, you will be isolated like this."

At this time, you heard a slight sneer, as if expressing disdain for your words.The sound of pages turning was accompanied by a peaceful child's voice.

"Groups are built for mediocre people, who satisfy their self-indulgence by crowding out people who are different from themselves. I don't watch "The Birds" because I like it, but because I deeply despise the love and equality advocated by Tagore .”

"It is precisely because I do not understand this disgusting fraternity that I need to delve into it."

At this moment, a beam of scorching eyes glued to your cheek.

"Doudou, we are friends, do you understand what I mean?"

You woke up from the dream, and this time you sat up immediately after becoming conscious.But no matter how fast you reacted, Cheng Jin who was always by your side still held you down.

The needle goes into your skin again.

You keep dreaming, waking up, and being injected with sleeping pills by Cheng Jin.

In these lucid dreams, you can't see anything but hear the back-and-forth conversation of two little boys.You are the more lively one, always persevering in talking to another quiet little boy, and the other boy also went from disliking you to acknowledging the relationship between the two of you as friends.On the surface, these dreams tell the story of two children with different personalities gradually developing a friendship, but you are an adult, and you have a maturity and calmness that the protagonist in the dream does not possess.

From your point of view, the taciturn child never opened up to you, and his answers seemed more like merciful handouts to you.There is no childlike innocence in his tone, but only indifference to the world and ridicule of the people around him.

He does the same with you, he despises your innocence, and scoffs at your friendship.

But you, who were still a child in the dream, were unaware of this. You admired his maturity beyond his peers, and were relieved by his non-sociality.

Because then he will always be yours alone.

Your previous premonition came true—Cheng Jin really didn’t communicate with you anymore, but silently and firmly injected sleeping pills into your body every time you woke up.During this period you tried to resist, but never succeeded.You feel grief, indignation and despair, and you don't understand why Cheng Jin did this.

You're confused and terrified, but even so you don't speak.You faintly feel that even if you communicate with the other party, he will not give you a reasonable explanation, and if you talk to him, you have to risk the other party switching to Sheng Jing at any time.

Mori is not one to listen to your explanations - you already have a deep feeling for this fact.

Gradually, your drowsy time is getting shorter and shorter, but the feeling of dizziness after waking up is getting stronger and stronger.Your eyeballs start to tremble and your breathing becomes slow.You feel that the breath from your nasal cavity is getting weaker and weaker, and the heartbeat in your chest is getting more and more dull, as if being tightly wrapped by someone's palm.

You gradually lose your memory of what happened in your lucid dream, and you no longer resist when Cheng Jin administers the needle.In a daze, you felt someone gently brushing away the broken hair on your forehead, and lowered your head to press a kiss on the center of your brow.You lift your eyelids with difficulty, but what you see is not the familiar white mask.

Cheng Jin took off the mask at some point.

You froze for a moment, and your unconscious brain instantly woke up, but when you looked at his facial features carefully, your vision was doubled and parallaxed due to excessive sleeping pills, and you couldn’t see his face clearly. Face.

That's when you feel afraid.This lucidity is like a flashback before your death, and you clearly understand that you have no chance to go back in time.

If you die, it will all be over for good.

- You will never have a chance to do it again.

Thinking of this, your body suddenly surged with a force, which is the desire for life, the strongest desire to survive before death.You held his hand holding the needle, and pulled down Cheng Jin's collar until his lips touched yours.

You understand that kissing the other party has no way to get the chance of death regression, only the other party actively kisses you will work.So you moved your lips slowly and awkwardly, hoping that the other party would kiss back after you kissed him proactively.But his lips just stayed on top of yours, without any reaction.And your consciousness has gradually faded after a moment of sobriety, and a chilling numbness rushed from your heart all the way to your lips, until your lips were as heavy as a stone and could no longer move.

Your heart was ashamed, and you watched as Cheng Jin held your shoulders and withdrew from your lips at a gentle and slow speed.

——Until the end, Cheng Jin didn't respond to your kiss.

Why?Why didn't he kiss back?

He obviously kissed you before.Even if he doesn't really like you, he still has a good impression of you, doesn't he?

You thought to yourself, the thirst for life was dying away.

You looked at Cheng Jin's double-imaged face, and the scene in front of you became more and more blurred, as if soaked in a cloud of water mist and wrinkled.A finger landed on your lower eyelashes, gently wiping away the overflowing tears.

At this moment, Cheng Jin's lips moved silently.

You can't see what he's talking about, so you can't do anything about it.

It wasn't until he was silent for a while that he finally lowered his head and brushed your lips lightly with his lips.

"Did the kiss just now be your own will?" His voice fluctuated from near to far, with a hint of hesitation in his emotion.

After speaking, he raised his head.

At this time, he was no longer Cheng Jin, but Sheng Jing.

You opened your eyes, subconsciously touched your cheek with your fingers, and as expected, you touched a tear.

After Cheng Jin spoke, the masked man switched to Sheng Jing, and asked about your relationship with Cheng Jin through gritted teeth.At that time, you were already unconscious, so you didn't really hear what he was talking about.

But even if you can't hear his words clearly, you can still feel the hands that grabbed your neck fiercely.

You just felt that his five fingers holding your neck became more and more forceful, and the air circulating in your throat became thinner, and soon you couldn't breathe, and your cheeks turned purple.

In less than a moment, you were strangled to death by Sheng Jing.

Death itself is frightening and certainly not a pleasant experience, but you have to be thankful—thankful that Cheng Jin gave you an inexplicable kiss in the end, allowing you to regain your life.

You suddenly remembered what Cheng Jin said before he became Sheng Jing. He asked you whether the kiss was of his own will.

You think his question is ridiculous - can you still be forced to kiss someone?

You just think that this is the nonsense of the other party, and stop thinking about the deep meaning, because time does not allow you to fall into contemplation.

Cheng Jin, who is wearing a white mask, is standing in front of you, holding the sticky note and fountain pen that he took out of his pocket just now.

At this point, you decide—

【A. Silence】

[B. Pick up the needle tube with "nutrients" on the side]

[C. Take the pen and paper from the other party and ask the other party if you have mutual friends]

【D. Take the pen and paper from the opponent's hand, then tear the note in two】

[#Reminder: Life -1, Life +1, the current number of times the protagonist can die is 0]
