Deceitful Game

Chapter 266 The Eye of the Demon

When Mingpo woke up, he vaguely heard the two talking and melodious music.

It seemed someone noticed what was happening on his end, and the conversation fell silent for a moment.

"You're awake?"

Ai Shiping's voice came from in front of me.

Looking up, I saw Ai Shiping sitting at the table with his hands tucked in.

Mingpo then realized that his body seemed to have been moved slightly, and he was lying face down next to a table where the tableware had been removed. Ai Shiping was sitting opposite him, and Chen Bingwen was standing next to him.

The two of them seemed to have been talking about something.

But after Mingpo woke up, those vague memories in her mind quickly faded away.

"……Um."

Mingpo gave a vague reply.

He didn't stand up, but simply looked around.

But as soon as he turned around, he was startled.

The once tidy food cart was now covered in blood!

It looked as if a massacre had just taken place here; the once pristine white dining table was now covered in blood.

A row of corpses hung in the train aisle.

Their heads were tilted to the side, and two gleaming iron hooks pierced their backs, locking tightly to their cervical vertebrae.

The corpses, like slabs of pork, hung silently in the corridor. At first glance, one might mistake them for hanged bodies, swaying gently in the breeze.

The hanging corpses were densely packed together.

Those who followed Ai Shiping and Chen Bingwen to carriage number seven all died.

In addition, there is also Liu Jianguo.

That dark-skinned old man... he was also hung on the roof of the car by an iron hook.

"...What happened to you?"

Mingpo turned to look at Ai Shiping and questioned, "Why did you kill so many?"

He could tell at a glance that these people had been strangled.

Without a second thought, Mingpo knew that Ai Shiping must have done this.

Because only he can do these things.

"What's wrong?" Ai Shiping said with a smile, "Do you think I'm too evil, little lamb?"

"Don't disgust me."

Mingpo leaned back with a look of disgust on her face.

He didn't want to seek justice for these people.

After all, Mingpo knew Ai Shiping... This guy couldn't possibly do something meaningless. Even if he had some "past life memories" that he didn't know about, his fundamental personality wouldn't change much.

If Ai Shiping really did such a cruel thing, it can only mean that these people provoked him first.

Moreover, strangling all of these people would be very risky and difficult.

Not to mention hanging them here.

I just don't know... why doesn't he use a weapon?

In this game, you can find highly effective killing weapons, like that poison needle.

Even if Ai Shiping wanted to kill all those people, he could have searched for weapons first.

That's how confident Mingpo is in his friends.

"See, I told you so."

Ai Shiping turned to look at Chen Bingwen and said with a smile, "He will definitely trust me."

Mingpo ignored Chen Bingwen.

He glanced around and asked, "Where are the others?"

"They went to find the heating system, didn't they?"

Ai Shiping said lazily, "The food trucks are already activated."

He glanced at Mingpo, who was still a little sleepy, sighed, and his playful and frivolous smile faded somewhat.

He put his leg down and looked at Mingpo, explaining, "I didn't hang those people up. Their bodies appeared here the instant we finished repairing the food cart."

"This is·……"

Mingbo paused for a moment, then immediately realized: "Oh, I see, it's the [dining cart]."

Because this is a "food truck," and they are "meat."

"The sheep in the sheepfold are destined to end up on the dinner table."

Ai Shiping said with a smile, "But it's a bit careless. These 'lambs' that died naturally should not be eaten according to food hygiene standards."

"Died of natural causes?"

Mingpo glanced at him sideways: "Isn't it 'slaughtering'?"

"What you say makes sense."

Ai Shiping agreed.

Mingpo rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache. Ever since waking up, he'd felt a tightness and soreness there, along with dry, itchy eyes. He hadn't experienced these symptoms in a long time.

That was when he was very, very young; his eyes would swell up due to allergies.

It was around that time that Mingpo often felt a stinging or soreness in her eyes, as if she had overused them.

But Mingpo clearly hadn't used her eyes much... This symptom was interpreted by Mingpo's father as one of the signs of "poor health." Anyway, after Mingpo was sent to the laboratory, the symptom quickly disappeared.

By now, Mingpo has almost forgotten about it.

Now he finally remembered.

Along with it, a memory he had long forgotten was retrieved.

He was strapped to the operating table, his eyelids were pried open, and a large light was shining into his eyes.

His vision became extremely blurry, and he could hear people talking all around him.

"Let's increase the power."

"No... the power of the Twilight Seed is waning."

"So be it, let it be a recession. The most important data has already been collected."

"What nonsense are you spouting? This is a rare copy!! You'd better watch out, Professor Li will beat you to death!"

"It's pointless. The company has given a firm order: clear out the Dusk infection as soon as the experiment is over."

"…Huh? Are we clearing it? Wait, you don't mean…"

"That's right. This kid's lucky."

"I understand... then let's increase the power."

After that, the lights in front of Mingpo brightened again, and her consciousness instantly became blurred.

He felt his mind being steamed by something scorching hot, and the boundary between reality and dreams became completely blurred.

When Mingpo first woke up, those memories faded quickly, just like how one forgets their dreams as soon as they wake up. But now, Mingpo has finally regained those memories.

He covered his eyes, feeling that familiar soreness and swelling.

But this time, the situation is completely different from before.

After being freed from the constraints of the physical body, the power residing in Mingpo's eyes was finally fully unleashed!

When Mingpo opened her eyes again, all that remained was a deep, dim yellow.

Upon seeing this scene, Ai Shiping and Chen Bingwen were both stunned.

Ai Shiping was only slightly stunned, while Chen Bingwen was startled.

Because it doesn't look as beautiful as wearing yellowish colored contact lenses.

Instead, the entire eye, including the whites, turned a dull yellow, while the original pupil remained jet black.

It looked as eerie and terrifying as if it had been possessed by a demon.

When Mingpo opened his eyes, he felt a power emanating from the depths of his eyes.

With his last ounce of self-control, he forced his gaze away from Ai Shiping and toward Chen Bingwen beside him.

The moment their eyes met, Mingpo heard a strange "pong..." sound.

The sound was somewhat like a plastic bag being filled with air and then forcefully popped open.

With that strange sound, the entire world before Mingpo's eyes slowed down to almost a standstill. Or, one could say that his thought process accelerated many times over.

Apart from Mingpo and Chen Bingwen, everything around them disappeared.

Or rather, everything around us transformed into countless layers of kaleidoscopes.

The kaleidoscope mirrors shift and intersect, countless reflections transforming into countless symmetrical illusions, constantly rotating, shattering, and piecing together new scenes, leaving one dizzy and disoriented.

Only Chen Bingwen, at the center of their vision, remained unchanged. He stood frozen in place like a puppet.

The next moment, the world around them changed.

It is no longer that infinite train, nor that shattered kaleidoscope.

It wasn't even the cyber city that Mingpo was familiar with.

Rather... it was something he thought he had forgotten: the original appearance of Earth.

That was Earth before World War III began!
