What is the right thing?

Mu Qin can’t actually recognize it at all.

He didn’t want to talk to this man who claimed to be his father anymore, because every word and word that the other party said was like a pot of boiled mush, bubbling from Muqin’s forehead. Mu Qin felt dizzy, and his ears buzzed like a bee.

Mu Qin is not afraid, but he refuses to accept these things that make him feel uncomfortable. It feels like if he admits the words from the man’s mouth, it is as if he admits that his feelings for Zhou Yue are also false.

He can scream loudly and repeat it a thousand times. He loves Zhou Yue very much.

Even if he was so confident, Muchin was still in fear. He always felt that some things were slowly deviating from his grasp, and he couldn’t help but start to panic, but in the depths of his heart, he looked at everything coldly.

Muqin knew what he said was true.

Mu Qin knew that there was indeed a monster-like existence in his body without the slightest emotion. That monster was lurking in the depths of his subconsciousness. Qin’s brain, it will become the dominant body of this body, it will swallow up the pitiful feelings in Mu Qin’s heart, and it will turn Mu Qin into a cold-blooded executioner.

It will make Muqin forget Zhou Yue’s existence.

Aware of this fact makes Muchin feel extremely painful. There is an invisible hand tearing at his heart. He can’t even tell whether this painful feeling is his real emotion, but he is really uncomfortable now. This feeling of suffocation made him difficult to breathe and his heart was throbbing.

The painful Muqin could only stretch out his hand to cover his face, he took a deep breath to calm his messy thoughts, he had to calm down, he would calm down, he was always calm like a monster.

“I don’t know if you are thinking about escaping.” The man noticed the change in Mu Qin’s expression without a trace. He first saw Mu Qin’s sad expression, and then quickly covered his face, but he didn’t. After a long while, he released the hands covering his face, the expression on his face returned to normal, and even began to become extremely cold.

Looking at Muqin’s changes, for this son who is like a stranger, the man deeply feels that it is difficult to approach. Even if Muqin who has no emotions feels sadness and sadness and other emotions, this emotion will quickly disappear. Mu Chin will soon return to calm, so others can’t speculate on his true thoughts at all.

The man regretted: “Muchin, I hope you can face these words…Although this is cruel to you, you are her last gift to me, so I will help you , All your requirements, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you.”

“Even if I wanted to kill you, would you satisfy me?” Muchin said indifferently.

The man sighed: “I said before that you will be bound by this throne if you kill me. This is not a good choice for you. If you really want me to die, you can find someone to kill me. .”

“Forget it.” Mu Qin lowered his head and took a deep breath. He was much calmer. He slowly swept away the turbulent emotions in his mind. He really calmed down, “I killed you. It’s really useless to say, so let me ask you some questions. I think you know a lot about the fringe world.”

“You ask.” The man nodded and prepared to answer.

“I’m very curious.” Mu Qin said, “I grew up in the real world to this day. I am twenty-seven years old this year. Even though the real world and the game map have different time flows, they are based on the real world time. Well, you should have entered the fringe world for some reason more than 20 years ago.”

Mu Qin stared at the man with gloomy eyes: “However, as far as I know, this game was only opened about four years ago… It was many years in the middle. What happened, do you know?”

The man thought for a while and replied: “The Edge World game will be updated.”

“Update?” Mu Qin was completely caught off guard, startled by the man’s sudden words.

“Yes, it’s an update.” The man frowned slightly, “Like many online games we play, every once in a while, the official server will be suspended for maintenance and updates. The edge world is the same and needs to be updated. .”

“There is actually a system update and upgrade…” Muqin thought it was amazing, but after thinking about it, this seems to be a matter of course.

There is no absolutely perfect thing in this world. Even in the fringe world, there must be some loopholes and flaws. These vulnerabilities and deficiencies need to be regularly updated and maintained, plus upgrades, to be completely patched.

Although I can understand, but vaguely feel that things have become more complicated. Thinking of this, Mu Qin couldn’t help feeling a big head, so he had to press and massage his temples gently to relieve the headache that would come up at any time.

Then Muqin laughed self-deprecatingly: “So, how is the fringe world updated?”

“How to update…” The man didn’t seem to like to mention this process, his brow furrowed even more, “The Will of the World will first close all maps. Whether it is the player playing the game on the game map or Players who rest and sleep in the safe house will be’forced to quit’ the moment the game starts to update.”

Muchin suddenly horrified: “If I understand correctly, what you call “forced quit”…Does it mean that all players will die?”

The man nodded affirmatively: “Yes, you understand correctly. Once the edge world starts to update, all data in the entire game world will be deleted. We players, in the eyes of the system, are just a bunch of data. , They will easily “delete” us.”

“This also means…everyone will die?” Muqin’s heart was shocked by the man’s words.

“There is a dead end.” The man confirmed, “Except for the players who are sitting on the throne like me and relying on the death card and the power of the throne to get the power of’eternal immortality’, everyone else will die and disappear with the map or the safe house. .”

Mu Qin faintly understood. He squinted his eyes and put forward one of his own thoughts: “Is it possible that the will of the marginal world is actually encouraging players to find the Butterfly Throne?”

“I think so.” The man is not so sure, “After all…if we don’t look for the Butterfly Throne, we will be deleted along with the system update, so the players have no choice but to use them all. Let yourself survive by all means, even if the price of surviving is sitting on such a chair that will bind you forever.”

“How long does it take to update the game?”

“Fifteen years.” The man continued, “I said fifteen years is the time in the real world…Because the flow of time in the game is different from reality, in the game, the player may not feel the time of fifteen years. Time has changed, they only think that one or two years have passed, and maybe even shorter.”

Mu Qin looked at the man thoughtfully: “How do you know this? Will Edge World report you before the game is updated?”

The man answered Mu Qin with a serious face: “Yes, of course the system will send a notice to the players. A few days before the game is about to be updated, the system will send a message to all players, and this message is directly transmitted to the players’ brains.”

“The general content is to tell you that the game is going to be updated, the server is going to be shut down, the data is going to be cleared, and you are going to die. It also said that it will take 15 years for the game to be updated and the specific time when the game will be reopened.”

“Will the power of the Butterfly Throne still work when the system is updated and all the game maps are closed?” Muqin threw his own questions to the man one by one.

The man also calmly took these questions and answered them one by one: “Of course it works. The Butterfly Throne can stabilize the throne map, so that the throne map will not be deleted along with the system update… How to describe it, the throne is probably a small The server, it supports this map, so that the throne map and the power of the king can operate normally even when the entire fringe world is closed.”

Mu Qin touched his chin and meditated: “I know that the Butterfly Throne has a chance to refresh on every map. Then do you know if there are any other kings sitting on the throne besides you, and how many?”

“Yes, but not many. As far as I know… I am afraid there are only three, including me. All three of us are the’kings’ left over from the last game version update. As for the new system now I don’t know how many kings there are in the game.”

The man told Muqin, “As long as the map has been around for long enough, the Throne of Butterfly will be displayed on the map, but you know…If you want the map to always exist, you must have at least one human player and The ghost player stays in the map all the time, and it takes a long time.”

“Because each map is a closed environment automatically generated by the system extracting some scenes that the players have been to, the resources inside are limited. If human players want to stay for a long time, they need a lot of water and food, which is very difficult. .”

“It’s lucky to be like me.” The man recalled something, “This map has a lot of water and some edible wild fruits, so she is willing to stay with me, but even so, we I also waited about three or four months before I saw the Butterfly Throne come out.”

Mu Qin was surprised: “So long?”

“The probability of each map is different.” The man said in a dull tone, “At that time, she was pregnant for two months, and I trapped her after the throne was brushed out. She seemed to be unaware that she was being caught by me. I’m bound to sleep, lying in my arms every day, she smiled at me at the time…I can still remember.”

The man lowered his head and hugged the bones on his legs. He hugged him for a while and said to Mu Qin: “I’m sorry…Mu Qin, even though I hate myself for selfishly forcing your mother by my side. , But for a long time, I was very thankful that I kept her here.”

Mu Qin said: “I can probably understand the reason why you want to forcefully keep your mother, because you know that the game is going to be updated, even if you send her out, it will be a dead end. Sorry, if this is the case, you also want to keep her. Normal.”

“No, not so.” The man shook his head and denied, “The game update happened some time after her death. Before her death, I had a chance to send her out, but I didn’t.”

“What if I send her out?” Muqin seemed to see something through. “She can only escape from this map, but not from this world… It turns out that everyone is going to die in the end. “

The man listened to Muqin’s words and hugged the bones in his arms tighter, his voice muttered: “I love her so much that I can’t let go, even if she dies, I think I’m crazy .”

“…” Mu Qin didn’t speak, and was silent for a while, suddenly as if he was thinking of something, he asked the man in a puzzled tone: “Is the fringe world game automatically updated?”

“Automatic update?” The man didn’t quite understand what Muqin meant when he asked. He thought about it, “I don’t understand what you mean. Isn’t it automatic update? I said before. The game is in All players will be notified three days before the update.”

“Then the game restarts? When it starts, will the system send you a notice to restart the game?” Muqin asked.

The man shook his head: “This is not true. If you didn’t come today, I don’t even know that the fringe world has restarted. I have been sleeping…and I haven’t heard any sound in the middle.”

After hearing this, Mu Qin narrowed his eyes strangely: “That’s interesting.”

“What’s interesting?” the man asked.

“I heard a message from someone else.” Muqin said, “Someone once told me that the fringe world was opened by a group of players’personally’ four years ago.”

Mu Qin remembered that not long ago, when Zhou Yue confronted and talked with the king who was possessed by his mother Xie Zhu, Zhou Yue mentioned that he knew a player with the system number “13”, and that was possessed at the time. As soon as the king on Xie Zhu heard it, he shouted in disbelief. What he said roughly meant, “The first batch of players who entered the game are all dead, and it is impossible for a player with the number 13 to exist.”

And the king also mentioned that “the first players to enter the game were also the players who started the edge world. They restarted the edge world, so all disasters were caused by them.” Such words.

Mu Qin, who listened to these words at the time, subconsciously believed that the fringe world was opened artificially, but now Mu Qin’s biological father told him that the fringe world is automatically turned on and off in a loop, and it is necessary to update the system every once in a while. Turn off, then turn on again, and so on.

But what is the truth, or is there any misunderstanding in it?

Mu Qin couldn’t figure this out. He told his doubts to the man on the throne. The man thought for a while and informed Mu Qin when the game was updated. He said, “I remember the last game update. When World Will shut down the server, it was after your mother left… I sent you to the real world, and then became a ghost. She took care of you for three years and kept watching you were sent to your adoptive parents before leaving. Soon afterwards, I received the news that the system update was closed.”

“This means that when I was three years old, the last version of the fringe world was closed because of the update.” Muchin began to record the specific timeline based on the man’s words.

“I’m twenty-seven years old now. As far as I know, this version of the game was launched four years ago, which is when I was twenty-three years old… Was it reopened after being silent for twenty years?”

As recorded here, Mu Qin looked at the man suspiciously: “Didn’t you say that after fifteen years after the game is closed, the system will automatically reopen the marginal world?”

“The system message I received did say so, saying that the game will be reopened after being closed for fifteen years, but this is just the rhetoric of the system. In addition, since I have been sleeping all these years, is there any Reopen on schedule…I don’t know at all.”

The man guessed and said: “Maybe something went wrong with the system, which delayed the reopening of the game.”

“Of course, it’s also possible that someone used some means to seal the marginal world…” After speaking, the man smiled himself, seeming to be amused by his own conjecture.

He said: “Although this conjecture is almost like a fantasy, if someone really did it, a group of heroes ended the game, making this terrible reincarnation no longer continue. However, four years ago, A group of dead guys opened it again, like opening Pandora’s box.”

“If that’s the case…” Muqin said, narrowing his eyes, “Then those players who reopened the fringe world are indeed the culprits of all disasters, and the opportunity to end everything…it was then destroyed.”

“We don’t know the truth, maybe our thoughts are all wrong.” The man pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Mu Qin: “Mu Qin, to be honest, I don’t want you to enter the fringe world and continue reincarnation, but I can’t think of a way to take you out of this world.”

“I said that you have no soul and no emotions. You were a’dead’ when you were born. I can’t describe your existence. Although you are a child born to her, I think part of you comes from the marginal world. In this abyss.”

“I don’t understand what you mean.” Mu Qin looked at the man coldly.

The man said: “I mean…”

The man seemed to be unable to think of any words to express his thoughts. He thought for a long time, first sighed, then looked at Mu Qin for a long time, and was silent for a long time. In the end, the topic suddenly turned off and talked about the past: “When I was young, I was with your mother.”

“At that time, neither the economy nor the science and technology developed very well in China. There were many poor people… I was a poor man who came out of the countryside. I went out to work before finishing high school. In order to make money, I was always working. The big cities and the bosses are running freely.”

“Your mother is very different from me. She is a rich lady who came from a wealthy family. The family conditions are good. She plans to send her to study abroad. I don’t know how she likes me, but we met and we were dating. We were together a few times later. For me, she gave up the opportunity to go abroad, stayed in China to complete her studies and then started work.”

“She’s very good, her work is very serious, and her salary is several times that of mine.” The man laughed at himself as he said, “I was still feeling inferior at the time and felt that I was not worthy of her. I wanted to break up many times. Thoughts, but as soon as I saw her smiling face, I immediately threw this thought out of the sky.”

“None of us were married, we didn’t get a certificate, we just lived together all the time. After working for a few years, we had some savings and started a joint venture business. I can run all over the world to get business and talk about investment. She is good at managing financial funds carefully. We both The cooperation is very good, unbelievably good, so our business grows bigger and bigger.”

“The tree attracts the wind, but unfortunately I didn’t understand the truth at the time. With the money on hand, I started to become arrogant and provoke some people who shouldn’t be offended. So we were quickly suppressed by the opponent’s signal from the competition. Her business started to go downhill. She wanted to stop the loss in time, but I was not convinced and wanted to take a gamble. She just invested all the money in the project she was optimistic about at the time. As a result, the more she gambled, the more she lost, it was a mess.”

“She didn’t blame me, she said she wanted to regroup and start again, but I was in a trough at the time and felt that I was very useless. I used alcohol to relieve my sorrows. Once I drank too much and became unconscious, and then In the bar, I met the guy who shouldn’t be offended.”

“He was a fat man, he didn’t have much ability, but the family had money and rights. The reason why he provoke him at the time was because he made fun of your mother and asked me to give him a fun. I immediately became furious. , Punched him face-to-face, so he remembered it, and asked people to suppress us in various ways.”

“I haven’t seen this matter, so after seeing this fat man in the bar again, I got drunk and went to trouble him. I fought him, and I missed him and beat him to death. .”

“For manslaughter, I went to jail and was sentenced to seven years. The fat man’s family threatened to let me die in jail. Your mother looked for relationships in various ways, hoping to help me turn around and get through this difficult situation. But. Because she tried to beg for help everywhere, she was also targeted by the family behind the fat man.”

Speaking of this, the man suddenly stopped continuing. Muqin listened intently. Seeing that he was silent, he subconsciously asked the follow-up: “What then?”

The man’s face was gloomy: “They found a few **** to want to □□ your mother.”

Mu Qin clenched his fists: “Did they succeed?”

The man shook his head: “I don’t know. She didn’t tell me what was going on. I only know that she killed all the gangsters and used a short knife that the gangsters brought over.”

“She went home immediately after killing people to clean up herself. She changed her clothes and came to the prison to see me for the last time. When she came to see me, her face was full of sunny smiles. She was just like her normally. I even I didn’t know that she killed someone, and then she told me that she used all of our assets to buy insurance. The beneficiary was me. After I was released from prison for seven years, the money would be transferred to my account.”

“I realized something was wrong and asked her what was going on, but she refused to answer me, and then left the prison. A month later, I heard news from her that she was sentenced to death for intentional homicide , There was no reprieve, and she did not appeal, so she accepted it.”

“Two months later, I didn’t want to drive, and committed suicide in prison.” The man used these words to put an end to their story. After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Mu Qin and continued: “When I woke up again, I came to the fringe world and met her again in the second game.”
