Chapter 141 Autobiography (VI)
They looked at the man in admiration.
Forget killing monsters with bare hands. Who would dare to put their hands into that weird black hole?
I can only say that he is worthy of being called Brother Xi...
"How are you doing here?" Mu Chenxi asked, "I just tried out a question book called "Hedgehog"."
"Is this the book?" Hong Yang took out the book from the pile of books in his arms and frowned, "But the borrowing card for this book is missing. It must have been mixed with the other borrowing cards."
Ye Sui adjusted his glasses and said, "In fact, we can go directly into this book. When our name appears on the library card, that card will be for this book."
"Oh, right. So, who owns this book? What does the author's name have to do with you? Whose name is so powerful?" Hong Yang muttered.
Mu Chenxi and Ye Sui listened, thought about it, and glanced at him at the same time.
"That's it," Ye Sui cleared his throat, looked up and said to Mu Chenxi, "Brother Xi, I'll leave this to you and Principal Dou."
"OK."
They put the rest of the books back on the shelf, then came to the study table with a pile of library cards and the book "Hedgehog".
Hong Yang and Ye Sui adjusted their identities, opened the book, and turned into two beams of light and drilled in.
Soon, their names appeared on a card among a pile of library cards.
Principal Dou immediately inserted the card back into the plastic shell on the back cover of "Hedgehog".
Mu Chenxi looked at the table.
Now, they have four books.
If there are five problem books in this copy, then they are still one book short of finding it.

When Su Mingyun returned to "Violence", Mu Yu was still in the living room on the first floor.
But while she was away, he had already visited the second and third floors, and found that Lu Chongnian and the small house had disappeared.
The two met again, and Mu Yu asked in confusion: "What happened just now?"
Su Mingyun explained the whole story, and Mu Yu frowned, "Do you still feel something is wrong?"
Su Mingyun touched his chest: "It seems to be gone..."
Principal Dou should have adjusted the plot to the beginning for them, right? Then the factor that triggered the black hole should have disappeared.
Mu Yu put his fingers on his chin, thought for a moment, and asked another question: "When the mysterious man attacked you before, do you think that with your original personality, you would stab him with a knife?"
Su Mingyun moved her lips: "I think so, but..."
Her voice lowered. “After I stabbed him… I also turned the knife. I didn’t dare to tell you before. I don’t really understand why I did that.”
Fight back to protect yourself.
But it seems a bit too bloody and cruel to do such an action even though he had clearly stabbed the person.
Su Mingyun's mind went blank at the time. She didn't know why she did that and kept wondering if she was scared silly.
But if she was frightened by the sudden attack of the mysterious man, then her subsequent action frightened her no less than the former.
Noticing Mu Yu's expression, she was slightly startled: "Do you think... I was influenced by this book?"
"It's not just you," Mu Yu said solemnly, "When I was attacked by a mysterious man in the bathroom, I also had an uncontrollable impulse."
It’s just that Su Mingyun arrived in time, so he didn’t have time to do anything.
"The title of this book is "Violence". I suspect it is difficult for us to control the urge to commit violence here," Mu Yu frowned and analyzed, "In order to lure Lu Chongnian out, the mysterious man wanted to kill us first. When he attacked us, we would have an impulse. The black hole appeared on you, and I suspect it is related to the violence you used against him."
"And do you realize that when you pushed the mysterious man down the stairs, he disappeared into the black hole - the black hole is his entrance and exit. If we use violence against him, our bodies will also become his entrance."
Su Mingyun's face turned pale.
That’s right, that’s how the mysterious man used her body to attack Lu Chongnian.
"But..." She opened her mouth, "But our goal is to untie the rope around Lu Chongnian's neck and rescue him, right? Then we must meet him in person, which means we must fight a round with the mysterious man, and we must delay time as much as possible so that the little house can appear intact..."
"Yes." Mu Yu took a deep breath.
And the longer you wait, the more violent impulses will surge into your heart.
It's a closed loop.
"We still have to find a way to untie the rope around Lu Chongnian's neck first. Once we find it, we can rescue him as soon as we see him. He will be able to move freely and won't be so passive."
Su Mingyun quickly asked: "Have you found a tool that works well?"
Mu Yu shook his head. This was a more serious problem than the mysterious man.
In fact, when he came down from upstairs just now, he was thinking, if the dagger couldn't cut the thing on Lu Chongnian's neck, then what else in this house could they use?
Even if he spent the devil coins to exchange for a lucky wheel in the vending machine, and got an ordinary pair of scissors from the wheel, could the scissors really solve the fog?
After hearing this, Su Mingyun also realized the problem.
"But there can't be no solution, right?" She murmured, "The copy can't be so unreasonable, right?"
Mu Yu was silent for a moment: "He had already thrown Lu Chongnian into the fog in the previous instance."
When He has enough power, He certainly doesn't need to reason with a bunch of mortals as long as He wants.
Su Mingyun fell silent.
The two of them stood in the darkness for a moment, and Mu Yu said, "So, I was thinking, maybe I can only try to max out my attributes."
Su Mingyun was stunned.
Mu Yu said calmly: "Wheel of Fortune, max out the attributes, and see if you can get something different."
*
Of course, if He wanted to kill Lu Chongnian on purpose, then they certainly couldn't expect the props He provided to ruin His own plan.
But Mu Yu just wanted to take a gamble and see if there would be any loopholes in the rules that could be exploited.
"Maximum attributes" - this extremely unclear bonus item seems to be full of unpredictability.
But the problem is that it takes 10 demon coins to exchange these two items, and Mu Yu does not have enough coins on hand now, only 5, and this is the result of Lu Chongnian often supporting him with his own coins.
——The two copies of Evening Self-Study and the Museum of Life Sciences consumed too many coins at once, so it’s lucky that he still has some left.
There were only two coins left in Su Mingyun's trouser pocket, which was still not enough when added together.
She said, “I’ll go back to the library and see if I can get it together!”
In this round trip, in addition to bringing back the demon coins, she also brought back a piece of news.
——The man in the black hole actually followed her away from the book, went to the library, and was killed by Mu Chenxi!
And he is actually Lu Zhongnian's father!
"Oh, I don't know. I wouldn't have gone out if I had known," Su Mingyun said guiltily, "I don't know if I would bring monsters out again when I went out just now... It shouldn't happen this time, right? After all, I didn't do anything just now..."
Mu Yu comforted her: "You were also afraid of getting me into trouble at that time."
Compared to this, what he cares more about is——
"Was that monster killed so easily? Why do I feel like he's not that weak in combat in the book?"
It can't be that he and Su Mingyun are too weak, right?
Although his brother is stronger, the gap doesn't seem to be that big...? ?
Su Mingyun quickly said, "Your brother also mentioned this. He said that the monster that appeared in the library might not be the monster in the book itself. It could also be a replica or something. Anyway, we can't let our guard down in the book just because he killed that monster."
"Well, I know this," Mu Yu thought for a moment and said, "So there is only one key character in this book, and that is Lu Zhongnian's father. The one in the bedroom is him, and he was also the one who attacked us."
The bedroom on the second floor was dark and gloomy, full of a weird atmosphere.
In this copy, the monster-like man seemed to be able to live only in such a dark lair, unable to see the light.
He couldn't walk out of the bedroom normally and could only jump back and forth between the bedroom and the black hole.
This setting seems to be some kind of inner reflection, but who did it come from? Lu Chongnian?
If this book is based on Lu Zhongnian’s inner world, why would the middle-aged man wear his skin...?
I can't figure it out.
Perhaps they can only get the answer after seeing Lu Chongnian again.
Mu Yu collected his thoughts and asked, "Did they collect enough demon coins?"
"That's enough!" Su Mingyun took out the devil coins from his pocket. "Your brother gave me two, and Principal Dou gave me one. Add ours together, it's just enough!"
"good."
The two came to the vending machine.
Mu Yu first used 1 demon coin to exchange for the small yellow disc, and then used 9 to exchange for "maximum attributes".
This slot in the machine was empty, and after the exchange was completed, they didn't hear any sound of anything falling.
Only Mu Yu felt that the small prop in his hand seemed to have become heavier.
He squatted down, touched the place where he could pick things up, made sure nothing had fallen, and exchanged a glance with Su Mingyun.
"Let me try spinning the wheel first," he said cautiously.
The small yellow disc disappeared the moment it was moved, and a huge shadow fell from the sky.
He and Su Mingyun quickly took a step back. The shadow fell in front of them, making a metallic sound, and the ground seemed to shake.
——It was an exaggeratedly huge bronze door!
There was a small sign on the door with a witty line of words written on it.
"The upgraded version of the lucky wheel, only one person can enter!"
Su Mingyun was dumbfounded: "So awesome?"
There was no handle on the bronze door. Mu Yu pressed it and pushed it gently, opening a crack.
It was pitch black inside, and it felt a bit deep.
It's like an independent different-dimensional space.
Mu Yu turned around and said to Su Mingyun, "I'll go in, you stay here and be careful."
"good!"
He pushed the door open completely and walked in.
*
The heavy bronze door closed behind him.
Mu Yu took two steps forward cautiously in the darkness, and suddenly a light appeared in the space.
He stopped, surprise in his eyes.
...I thought there would be some evil spirits in it, but it turns out to be so simple?
In front of him at this moment were three more bronze doors. They were adjacent to each other, forming an arc, blocking his way.
There are signs on each door.
The door on the left is "Your Deepest Desire".
The door in the middle is "9 Demon Coins".
The door on the right is the "Item You Want Most".
A pillar appeared in front of Mu Yu, and on top of the pillar was a red button with a line of white words printed on it - "Five chances in total".
He pondered for a moment, but he didn't see anything in the space reminding him to start, which meant that he could start whenever he wanted.
Mu Yu didn't think much about it and simply pressed the red button in front of him.
Suddenly, as if at some lottery event, the door frames of the three doors lit up one after another, from left to right, from right to left, crackling, over and over again.
After 1.5 seconds, the light stopped - it was the door on the right, "the prop you want most".
Mu Yu was shocked.
I’m so lucky that I hit the target on the first try?
He walked over and pushed open the door. It became dark again behind the door. A beam of light shone in the center of the room. There was a slender stand with a square transparent glass cover on it. It felt like there must be something powerful under the cover!
Mu Yu's heartbeat quickened, and he ran over to take a look impatiently, and instantly: "......"
Under the square glass cover, there is a piece of paper.
[You have too many ideas in your head, and I have difficulty choosing on the turntable. I can't decide which item to give you. I'm sorry. I'll come back next time TAT~]
——How could he have so many ideas? He just thought that a dagger, a pair of scissors, or a machete would do!
You can't decide which one to choose for me. Is this my problem? Do you want to wake up?
Mu Yu was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.
He turned around angrily and walked back to the room outside, and pressed the red button again.
After 1.5 seconds, the light stopped at the middle room, "9 Demon Coins".
Mu Yu pursed her lips, walked over and opened the door.
You won’t tell him this time that “I’m short of money so I’m sorry, balabala”... If that’s the case, then this is simply a scam tool!
Fortunately, the moment he stepped through the door, he was greeted by a torrential rain of coins hitting his face.
Mu Yu hissed in pain from being hit. When he opened his eyes, the door had already closed mercilessly in front of him, and exactly 9 coins were lying on the ground under his feet.
……Tolerate!
The third time, it was still “9 demon coins”.
The fourth time, it was still “9 Demon Coins”!
After being hit by coins three times in a row, Mu Yu's expression became serious.
Now he has 27 demon coins in his hand. He is rich, but he has not got what he wants.
Although he could continue gambling with the winnings if it didn't work this time, wasn't his luck too bad? He would have to let Su Mingyun come in later... If it doesn't work again, he would have to let his brother come in, as his brother has always had good luck...
Mu Yu pressed the red button for the last time with nervousness and caution.
The light flickered between the three doors.
The eyes behind the lenses stared at the light, from left to right, from right to left. Mu Yu prayed silently in his heart, the far right, the far right, the far right!
The light stays.
On the far left – “Your deepest desire.”
Mu Yu: “…………”
Five times, five times! ! Could it be that the backend has adjusted the parameters and changed the drop rate? Was it intentional? Was it intentional? !
When people are extremely unlucky, they will start to doubt everything, and that is what Mu Yu is like now.
If he had the choice to report it, he would have done so.
He resisted the urge to slam the door, and tried desperately to tell himself that at least he was no longer "9 Devil Coins", and to calm down... But if he pushed the door open this time and said to him "Sorry, you have too many thoughts in your head", then he would really be furious:)
Mu Yu took a deep breath and walked over with vicious steps.
——But then again, he didn't know what his deepest desire was right now.
Does “hope He dies soon” count?
Or maybe it's "give his boyfriend back and make the copy disappear from this world"?
Mu Yu sneered - Whatever he wanted, did He dare to make it happen for him?
Put your hand on this door and push hard.
With a creak, the door was pushed open a crack.
The dark area behind the door was no longer mysterious. It was obviously another room, and the lights were shining normally.
As the door was pushed open further and further, the view became clearer and clearer, and Mu Yu's expression changed from alertness and suspicion to confusion and puzzlement... and then slowly to stunned.
…
[The door of wishes will be open for 3 minutes, the timer starts now——]
A line of golden words appeared in his sight.
Mu Yu came back to his senses and immediately stepped inside, the door closing behind him.
However, he stood in this room, still confused.
In front is the circular nurses' station and on the right is the upward staircase.
Opposite him, across a nurse's station, was a room with a sign that read "Internal Medicine Clinic."
This is clearly a replica of the Museum of Life Sciences.
How did he get back to this copy?
Could it be that the Lucky Wheel detected that his inner wish was "Nothing should happen to Lu Chongnian at the end of this copy"?
Mu Yu tilted his head, confused - but for things that have already happened, he never thought "If only it hadn't happened", he only thought about solutions.
What's more, Lu Chongnian has now come out of the fog, and he is not obsessed with this matter.
……never mind.
There were voices coming from the left. That was the treatment room - Mu Yu turned around and walked there.
Now that you are here, go and take a look.
But what is he doing now?
Travel through time and space?
Can he change what happened in the past here?
Or is this just an illusion, and the so-called fulfillment of his deepest desire by the Lucky Wheel is just to let him have some fun in the illusion?
Mu Yu was absent-minded. When he arrived at the door of the treatment room, he heard the conversation coming from inside.
"... Lu Zhongnian, what kind of result do you think we will get in the end?"
It's the sound of music.
Accompanied by rustling sounds, the people inside seemed to be preparing something.
Mu Yu paused and did not choose to walk in. Instead, he leaned against the door and took a look inside.
This glance stunned him.
There were only Lu Chongnian and Qu Ge in the treatment room.
Qu Ge was tying a rope around Lu Zhongnian's waist, and the other end of the rope was pressed under a cabinet.
The two men had their backs to him.
Qu Ge said: "You seem to have always been certain that there must be an answer ahead, and the same is true for Mu Yu's matter. He disappeared, and almost everyone forgot about him, but you tried to make them remember him. Why did you do this?"
"Do you believe that there is still hope?"
A moment of silence.
A familiar cold voice sounded, and the tall boy turned his back to him and Qu Ge and calmly gave an extremely simple answer.
"I just can't get used to not having him around."
Qu Ge was obviously stunned.
"...Is that so?" He asked inquiringly, "...You and Mu Yu are just ordinary classmates, right?"
Lu Zhongnian's answer was a gentle laugh.
The meaning is quite complicated.
Qu Ge looked at him in disbelief, as if he had just met this person for the first day.
But he did not continue the topic, but said: "But you are sure of something."
"Have you noticed some strange props in the vending machines?" Lu Zhongnian turned his head and suddenly asked this question.
"I noticed, things like 'magic broom' and 'instant camera', it's hard to imagine the uses of these props," Qu Ge said, "He seems to hope that these dungeon games can become more interesting."
"Yes, these items will be refreshed in each copy. I have been waiting for a prop that appeared in the previous copy, and I have been imagining another use for it."
"What props?"
Lu Zhongnian suddenly looked upwards.
Qu Ge looked over.
Then the two of them lowered their heads together, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding - they did not intend to let a certain existence hear their plan like this.
Qu Ge sighed, "Okay, as long as you have a plan."
He finally tied the rope and took a step back: "I'm going to the explosion room now. I'll explode in two minutes. Should that be enough time?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhongnian was adjusting the knot around his waist.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned around and looked outside the door.
