Chapter 217
Jun Matsumoto is not Chinese, and similarly, he is not a player from the Chinese region.
The gaming region that Matsumoto Jun originally belonged to was Liudao District. Among the eight districts, the overall strength of the players in Liudao District has always been ranked at the bottom.
Although the player systems of the eight regions in the Gambler Game are not interconnected, the relevant data of players from other regions can still be seen on the leaderboard.
Aside from the Easter Egg Game that takes place every four years, where players from all eight regions meet each other, there are certain rules that prevent players from different regions from being matched into the same game.
But this does not mean that players cannot change their fixed game region.
As long as a player stays in an area divided by a fixed region for more than a certain period of time, the game system will forcibly change the game region on the grounds that it cannot match regional players.
Once a player's game region attributes change, his game status will be forced to downgrade and his JR points will be deducted.
The system defaults to a stay of at least one year, which takes up a quarter of your gaming career.
After the area change, some props and weapons were affected by the area and were almost scrapped and could no longer be used.
It is precisely because of the various restrictions on changing regions that most players have given up the idea of changing regions.
But there are still a small number of people who choose to transfer regions in order to obtain more important benefits.
Matsumoto Jun is just one of them.
In the god-level card field of Death Code, there are still two players in the jumping zone.
They are Zoya and Andrei from Greater Europe. Both of them are Russian citizens, and Zoya is the former Queen of Hearts from Greater Europe.
After transferring to another zone, Zoya's ID card was naturally downgraded by the system, turning her into a seemingly ordinary max-level player.
If they had not appeared in the Death Code card game, Yitu might never have met them.
But people always gather here for some kind of benefit or unknown secret.
Andrei and Irina, who came in with Zoya, are a couple with a strong bond, and are most likely lovers in real life.
But on the third level, at the Cliff of Forgetfulness, Irina decided to make way for her companions and chose to sacrifice herself.
So far, the three players from the European region have not been very prominent.
But Yitu knew the moment he saw them that there might be more powerful enemies than just the Night King.
Thanks to the power of the Divine Mind Card, Yitu was able to get a rough idea of the background of these people, including the Japanese player Matsumoto Jun.
So Yi Tu was not surprised to see that Matsumoto Jun was resurrected.
Although all the resurrection cards in Matsumoto Jun's hand have been used up, all three items on him are still there.
Yitu only has one resurrection card and one pain card left in his hand.
"The rules of the game require us to kill each other."
Matsumoto Jun's Chinese pronunciation is very clear, and if you don't listen carefully you won't be able to tell that he is a foreigner.
"But I won't waste my energy on you, because..."
At this point, the man smiled:
"Someone will step forward and take the initiative to clear the area."
Matsumoto Jun turned and walked towards the darkness, raising his hand without looking back and said:
"どっちがlast まで风がいいか见てみよう."
(Let’s see who of us is luckier and can survive to the end.)
Yi Tu frowned slightly and watched Matsumoto Jun leave quietly.
Despite the rules of the game and the fact that Matsumoto Jun was the only lone wolf among the seven of them without any companions, Yi Tu had no intention of attacking him.
"Why don't you kill him?"
After Matsumoto Jun left, Huasan looked at Yitu and asked in a deep voice.
Yitu looked at him calmly:
"That's not necessary."
"Matsumoto Jun won't pose a threat to us, but those two from Greater Europe..."
Having said this, Yitu paused for a moment and then continued:
"Once you encounter it, you will die."
------------------------
After putting some distance between himself and the two players from the Chinese region, Matsumoto Jun wandered aimlessly in the birch forest.
The dagger in his hand flashed a cold light at his fingertips. It was the one he took out of the red box.
"Strange, it's a little too quiet." The man said to himself.
From the beginning of the game until now, the entire forest has been very quiet except when he opened the red box and triggered the scream of the crow.
The figures of the death servants are always looming in the depths of darkness, and you will run into them if you are not careful.
And that thing is incredibly fast. Once discovered, in most cases, there is only death to be had.
Matsumoto Jun had the good fortune to experience this once, and he was originally confident that he could shake off the death servant with his excellent sprinting ability and sense of direction.
But who knew that thing could teleport.
He had clearly run a long distance, and his figure was completely hidden in the darkness, so it should be impossible for him to be found.
But the thing still appeared behind him, silently and ghostly.
Matsumoto Jun couldn't dodge and had nowhere to hide, so he was chopped into two pieces on the spot.
After wasting his last resurrection card, Matsumoto Jun no longer dared to provoke the NPC guarding the gate.
He avoided the death servants who were patrolling like hounds and walked in the opposite direction based on his intuition.
The birch forest was extremely quiet, and the large black shadows of the trees were like ghosts frozen in mid-air, depressing and terrifying.
A touch of red embellishes it, making it particularly eye-catching.
That is another red box of death, which will either bring a surprise or a shock.
Matsumoto Jun hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
Although he knew that once a corpse was taken out of the red box, it would most likely attract death servants.
But in this level, even just one more game prop will become the key to the final comeback and survival.
Matsumoto Jun wanted to take a gamble and bet that his luck wouldn't be too bad.
However, when he squatted down and was about to open the red box, Matsumoto Jun suddenly discovered something terrifying.
The lid of the red box was not completely closed.
Someone had opened the red box before him!
When Matsumoto Jun realized this, he immediately wanted to get up and leave, but something bit his right leg tightly.
He looked down and saw a rotting undead dog with its bones exposed. Two dark holes were staring at him.
He felt a sharp pain in his calf, and without giving him time to think, Matsumoto Jun pulled out a dagger and stabbed it fiercely and swiftly.
The dagger pierced through the skull of the undead dog, and Matsumoto Jun even cruelly crushed its mouth.
The undead dog whimpered behind him and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Matsumoto Jun's back stiffened and he turned around to see a man and a woman who had appeared out of nowhere.
The man was wearing a long, stiff black trench coat. If it weren't for his striking blond hair and glassy blue eyes, he would almost blend into the darkness.
Andre looked at Matsumoto Jun with cold eyes, especially his 1.9-meter height, which gave people a strong sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
Compared to Andrei's strength and danger, Zoya standing beside him seemed not to be threatening at all.
The woman with delicate features had a faint smile on her face, and her emerald green eyes were lively and full of kindness.
If this was the first time Matsumoto Jun met Zoya, he might really be deceived by her appearance.
"No way?" Matsumoto Jun shrugged with an exaggerated smile on his face.
He ignored Andrei who was standing beside him, but looked at the petite Zoya.
"Am I so lucky...I'm the first one?"
Zoya looked apologetic, and her voice was as gentle as water. She said in an unfamiliar foreign language:
"I'm sorry, honey, I think..."
"Yusha Luo will be gentler on his old friend."
Zoya raised her hand and stroked the back of her white neck. The moment she finished speaking, a figure that looked neither human nor human walked out from behind her.
Matsumoto Jun's pupils suddenly shrank and he turned around to run away.
However, the next second when the dust settled, the humanoid weapon killed him in the blink of an eye.
Matsumoto Jun's body cracked into countless tiny cracks, and the white light that seemed warm but had no temperature leaked out from the cracks.
The man stretched out his hand to hold it down, but he was unable to stop the white light of life from escaping.
A few seconds passed, and Zoya glanced at Matsumoto Jun, who was almost a dried corpse lying on the ground. Her face was cold without a smile.
She communicated with Andrei in Russian, "There are 349 seconds left. We have to hurry and find the next player."
"Yes, the goddess of life."
The light footsteps of the two people faded away, and the surroundings fell into an eerie silence again.
At this moment, a soft sigh sounded in the air.
Matsumoto Jun's shriveled body did not come back to life, and still lay in the moist soil, waiting to rot.
A black cat came out of nowhere and nimbly jumped down from the tree, stepped on its own distorted face, and then disappeared into the darkness without looking back.
--------------------------
Yitu saw the light that suddenly lit up in the woods. Although it was so short and dim, it still gave people a general direction.
"Could it be the Night King and his men in the southeast corner?" Huashan frowned and speculated.
Yitu shook his head, "I can't be sure, but..."
"That seems to be the direction Matsumoto Jun left."
Huasan was stunned for a moment before realizing that although Matsumoto Jun had deliberately disguised the direction he left when he left.
But the other end of the road on the east side is blocked by thorn bushes, and players can only walk down to the southeast.
He and Yitu had originally come from the eastern path, so they were naturally familiar with the route there.
However, he didn't expect that just by walking through the dark birch forest that was like a maze, a specific map had already been formed in Yitu's mind.
And his quick thinking has long been beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"It's very likely that Matsumoto Jun encountered them," Yitu speculated.
"Either the two from Greater Europe, or the Night King."
"However, I prefer the former."
Huasan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take a detour."
Yitu nodded. Who would dare to act rashly in this dark forest where no hidden dangers could be seen?
