Master Swindler

Lu Qingjia looks good, thanks to the genes of his unreliable parents. Of course, the inherited good appearance is the only positive asset they left to Lu Qingjia.

Lu Qingjia's mother is beautiful, and her matrilineal genes are good. It is said that her grandfather was also a well-known big man back then. The old black-and-white photos wearing military coats at the time are still more stunning than many refined celebrities at first glance.

The mother looks good, but the old uncle looks better.

The age difference between the old uncle and his mother was five or six years, and the mother got pregnant and dropped out of school with his father before graduating from high school. In fact, the age difference between Lu Qingjia and his uncle was only twelve or three years old.

After his parents died and were involved in the incident, the uncle who took Lu Qingjia over and raised him was only in his early twenties.

He is younger than Lu Qingjia's current age.

When he was a child, the age difference in his teens seemed conspicuous, but as Lu Qingjia grew up, especially after the height of junior high school, the two did not look like relatives of the younger generation, but like brothers.

The old uncle is either because of her excellent genetics, or she is diligent in exercising, and as a game player's spiritual nourishment, in fact, it hasn't changed much over the years.

Only the temperament is more mature and stable. After the last trace of greenness has faded from the appearance, it is frozen in a best state.

The old uncle in the photo is like going back in time, back to the way he found him.

He was still a little immature, but he reached out to himself: "Jia Jia, I will be your guardian from now on."

Lu Qingjia's eyes were a little hot, and her nose was sore and uncomfortable.

Feeling the soft touch on his arm, he lowered his head and found that the black cat was comforting himself with a meat pad.

Lu Qingjia took a deep breath and forced herself to return to reason.

This is undoubtedly the original copy of the old uncle, which belongs to the exchange student copy of the horror game.

Except for a few cases, most of the world of the dungeon is also a secondary real world. If the information feedback from the photo is true, then after the old man entered the dungeon, the role must be the eldest son of the family.

Not only the photos, whether it is the style of the room layout, the collection of tea sets, and the hobbies to pass the time, and even the books he prefers on the shelf, all of them make Lu Qingjia feel deeply familiar.

Because in his house, the room that has been sealed in dust is like this.

I just don't know what form the second son of the family, Lu Qingjia is currently replacing, existed when the old uncle came in.

It's no wonder that before his death, the old uncle almost desperately asked himself not to avenge him, nor to have anything to do with the game.

He has always guarded against Lu Qingjia from setting foot on the road of no return, but after entering this game, if he finds that the younger brother who replaces the role looks exactly like his nephew, the fatalistic sense of absurdity may instantly drown him.

And why the'Scam Master' can't wait to let him enter this copy that might unearth the real body of the Scam Master, Lu Qingjia seems to have some signs.

Lu Qingjia sat on the bed, followed the cat's hair, seemed to be talking to him, and seemed to be muttering to himself: "Because the old uncle's mission failed, the consequences were not just his own death, right?"

This can also explain why the old uncle is so afraid of his revenge, because he knows his nephew's ability very well, and there is a high probability that he will find a copy of his death.

However, this copy was marked with a curse the moment he stepped in.

The scammer not only didn't stop him from coming here, but also tried his best to make it happen, but also because he knew there was a dead end waiting for him.

Except for blood relatives who had been here, Lu Qingjia couldn't think of any more reasonable clues to inspire the curse.

Lu Qingjia previously guessed the possibility that all members would be cursed collectively after a certain period of time after entering the dungeon. Even before he had verified it, he directly judged that the probability was lower than the latter possibility.

And taking it for granted, it was just a tentative appetizer that made Lu Qingjia a rare embarrassment. The difficulty of this copy really increased. It is Lu Qingjia's current ability, and alone cannot guarantee 100% to avoid the dead line.

Because this is the same as Ouyang Bai's halo bounce, almost a kind of unsolvable difficulty.

And Lu Qingjia is almost certain that the rule of temporarily evading the dead line here is to find a player for himself as a dead ghost.

The old uncle and the others were afraid that they had also experienced a tragic intrigue, but in the end he lost, or gave out their trust at an untimely time, the price was his own life.

However, these clues and judgments are too general. Lu Qingjia is still not clear about the specific details of the operation, so there is no way to talk about customs clearance or even find a fraudster.

At this time, Mother Lu's phone came in again, to check whether Lu Qingjia had gone home.

Lu Qingjia probably also guessed how Lu Mu's current irritability came from, so he became more patient.

He replied, "I'm home, how about you?"

Mother Lu heaved a sigh of relief, "Just get home, don't run around, I won't be able to come back later, your cousin is dead, and they are making trouble now."

Lu Qingjia calmed down, and based on the memory and appearance of the seats at the time, he inquired about several players he had identified with Mother Lu.

Since they all had to bear the curse, they were mostly members of their own family. Sure enough, Mother Lu quickly checked the information and told Lu Qingjia the names of the players and their relationship with the family.

Lu Qingjia has been chattering endlessly at home, not socializing, and even his relatives have forgotten.

After Lu Qingjia finished the call, he looked through his address book and found that everyone in it actually had contact information.

Even if there is no phone, at least in the same family WeChat group.

So he pulled a small group directly, and pulled several people in.

He replaced the portrait with his own selfie. As long as he had seen him at the banquet, he should have an impression.

As a result, Lu Qingjia received fast feedback. In less than ten minutes, all the players who had met at the wedding bubbling.

[For players in the same game, competition is not mentioned in the rules for the time being. Of course, it is best if you work together to make a fortune, right?An extreme game player said.

[That is, of course we hope to unite and unify the outside world. After all, most of our horror game players are also working together.It's just that your extreme games and unlimited games-certainly not meant to be biased, but because of the special screening conditions and competitive environment, there are not a few things that stabbed teammates in the back.We are happy, but what about your sincerity?

[Oh, it's just like the gold hunters and hunters of your horror games are vegetarian.

It is relatively easy to report groups between infinite games and extreme game players. There are also many players who know about the exchange system and other games.

[Stop the scene, right?Now the rules are not clear, it is too early to say anything.It's just okay to exchange information.

[The premise is that there is an exchange of information of equal value.

Lu Qingjia was impatient with this step. In the final analysis, it was just clearing the customs. He didn't take this difficulty into his heart.

Even if the difficulty of this copy exceeds any time he has experienced before.

He doesn't need the cooperation of players, but he doesn't want these guys' smart actions to trouble him.

It is necessary to grasp and guide their customs clearance ideas, which involves absolute information gap.

So he directly said: [The mission of this dungeon is to survive the curse. Although we can’t guarantee that we are all players in this game, we belong to the same family and inherit a curse together. The bridegroom who died today is because this.

[It's not a car accident or a plot arrangement, it's just that he should die.

[The difficulty of the copy is very high, the setting is a bit similar to the death of death, in short, there are countless accidents and beyond common sense, although everyone has their own abilities at this stage, I will only say this once.

[Don’t be too confident in any means of life-saving. Finally, I wish you all good luck.

The WeChat group was quiet for more than a minute.

I just talked about exchanging information, and everyone has speculations about what they see and think, so they must conceal them so that they will not reveal the clues that determine the key opportunity.

But Lu Qingjia shook everything out in one breath, and it was something they hadn't dug out at all, so generous that even made them feel like they were stomping on the air.

The first reaction is that this guy is crazy?The second reaction was that I was afraid that it was not deliberately making up stories to deceive people in order to disturb the muddy water.

However, the reality is that as soon as Lu Qingjia's voice fell, the mission of the game was released.

[Trigger main line: The mystery of the family curse.Task: Live for fifteen days.

"..."

Is this really not a lie?

Although there are only two short sentences, the news from the side is no less.

Lu Qingjia only announced the task after he finished speaking, indicating that at least what he said was correct in the general direction, so there was no need to discover the incident, and the game was announced directly.

And this copy of the so-called XX mystery, the general basic task must be to solve the puzzle, right?But the task benchmark here only requires the player to survive, and does not even make any exploration requirements, you can imagine the difficulty.

Then Lu Qingjia's words just now are not alarmist.

At this moment, everyone has not faced the power of this curse directly. No matter how you describe it, those who can enter the exchange student scene are the best in the game they are in, and they are not enough to destroy their confidence.

Lu Qingjia also got the clues he wanted from the attitudes of the people, and there was no need for them to deliberately explain. On the contrary, if the other party asked directly or indirectly, if the other party was vigilant, it might even lie or mislead.

But now it seems that he is the only one who did receive the curse. As long as anyone feels the cold lingering from the inside out, he will not be questioning his first direct showdown.

Lu Qingjia talked with the players again, agreed to contact at any time, and went to the kitchen to order three bowls of noodles.

Thanks to Lu Mu's phone call in a few minutes, Lu Qingjia can accurately control their location.

After waiting for his face, Lu's father and Lu's mother will just be home.

There was something wrong at the wedding banquet, and the two of them were hungry.

Mother Lu was originally full of anger and anxiety, but when she saw her son at home, her emotions eased slightly.

The expression on his face was restrained, and he sighed, "Let’s eat first."

Halfway through the meal, Lu Qingjia suddenly asked, "Mom, did my brother have close contacts with anyone at that time? Do you still have an impression?"

With the old uncle’s temperament, he would not let his anxious parents leave the customs clearance. If he and the fraudster were the asylum and asylum roles at the time, it was possible that Lu father and mother Lu had seen fraud. Deceive the teacher.

Of course, it is also a way to find from the younger generation in the big family. After all, if it is the same copy, the fraudster is very likely to be one of the young people cursed in this family.

But if the opponent passes the customs smoothly, then the remaining characters will either disappear or the world line will adjust to return to normal life. It is difficult to find clues from clues alone.

When Mother Lu heard him mention his eldest son, she paused with chopsticks and looked up at Lu Qingjia, her eyes a little scary——

"Why are you asking about this? If you don't mention it sooner or later, you have to mention your brother now? Do you think your mother's life is too good?"

As she slapped the chopsticks in her hand, the action was so heavy that even the bowl on the table almost turned over. Father Lu, who ate the noodles opposite, shrank his shoulders in shock, wishing to erase the sense of existence.

However, Mother Lu, who had already started, couldn't calm down. She grabbed Lu Qingjia's hand with surprising strength.

"I want you to listen carefully to what your mother said. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't think about what you shouldn't, ask less about some of them, and don't talk and ignore people who just know how to raise cats and dogs. Why not Follow the instructions?"

"Your brother was curiosity at the beginning, now my mother is the only one left. If you have any shortcomings, what should I do?"

Lu Qingjia glanced at Father Lu, the other party avoided the sight, did not say anything to dissuade, probably knowing that once he made a sound, the conflict would only escalate.

But he couldn't hide. Lu Mu saw Lu Qingjia's sight, and the whole person was like a petrol drum being lit, and it exploded all at once.

"You fucking eat, so you can't afford it, why don't you look at your son?" He sneered, and his voice was full of hate and poison: "Yes, with a son, you will naturally sit back and relax."

"How are you worthy of disgusting stuff?" Then he throws away Lu Qingjia and fights his father unilaterally: "How are you worthy of my son to replace you?"

He said madly again: "Today the strong son died. He died well, so as not to harm the next generation, and told me that your family should die."

Lu Qingjia hurriedly pulled the two away, held Mother Lu's head, and looked at each other: "Mom, calm down, it's okay, I'm still here, I'm okay."

The powerful mental power suppressed the madness and irritability in Lu Mu's heart at the moment, and after alleviated the huge exhaustion.

Lu Qingjia directly picked him up and sent him into the room, put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Only then did he return to the living room, and saw Father Lu shrinking his shoulders alone, and he was less than fifty. At this time, he was rickety and desolate.

Seeing Lu Qingjia coming back, he sighed: "You have grown up and become more and more like your brother."

Lu Qingjia declined to comment on the choices he and his family made for the time being, and only continued: "Do you have any impression of what I asked mom just now?"

Father Lu didn't resist telling Lu Qingjia everything like Mother Lu, on the contrary, he was just afraid that Mother Lu would go mad when she knew it.

He agreed with Lu Qingjia: "In fact, it's better to let you choose this kind of thing than to hide it. People in our family have to go through this."

So Father Lu told the story of this family.

It is said that there is an ancient mountain village isolated from the world, closed and conservative, and the villagers have worshipped a mountain god for generations.

However, the mountain god needs a pair of virgins every three years. In the past, everyone was ignorant and ignorant. Later, time entered the modern era and education spread to the countryside.

The young people learned about the outside world through school or part-time work, realized the ignorance and cruelty of the mountain village, and organized and asked the old people in the village to stop offering worship.

The result naturally caused an uproar and even bloodshed. The elderly who had the right to speak even no longer allowed the children in the village to go out.

But after seeing the prosperity of the world, how can you be willing to continue to be poor?

So a group of young people planned to escape and succeeded at the time, but unexpectedly, their behavior also angered the mountain god.

Children and grandchildren are at risk of death after they are eighteen years old. Only when the child is born, the curse will be transferred to the child, dormant for eighteen years, and the fate continues to reincarnate.

Whether it is patrilineal or matrilineal, as long as those young people's direct bloodlines are on this list.

It has been almost forty years, almost two generations, and if the patrilineal and matrilineal lines are counted, except for those who attended the wedding banquet today, who have come closer in recent years, most of them are people who have little contact or are scattered all over the country. .

Everyone knows that this is the curse they fled back then, and it's not that no one tried to bring their offspring back to worship the mountain god and beg for forgiveness.

But without exception, there is no return, and people outside know that there is no possibility of reconciliation.

Fortunately, this kind of thing happens once every three years, once every fifteen days, as long as it survives, it can go away for three years and take advantage of this time to get married and have children.

And not every time there were too many dead people, even for several years, no one had died, but the last time was too tragic, plus Lu Qingjia's brother (old uncle), a total of seven people died.

Mother Lu also became irritable in the blow of the death of the excellent eldest son, and had a strong desire to control the remaining youngest son.

But it stands to reason that if you want to ensure that the youngest son lives, the best way is to arrange for him to give birth to children quickly during the three years.

But Mother Lu, who had lost her son, didn't want to see her grandson inherit this tragic fate. The pressure torture made her more mad. She became angry when she touched a little bit like today, which is already common at home.

This can also explain why when entering the game, Lu Qingjia's judgment is that the original owner is a dull and gloomy person.

Losing the grief of the brother and the difficult knot of the mother, the curse and the depressing family atmosphere, it is strange that the spirit can be normal.

When Lu Qingjia asked Lu's father, he used his mental abilities, so that Lu's father could speak freely and tell himself what he knew without hiding.

After confirming that Lu's father and Lu's mother would not get any more useful information here, what Lu Qingjia wanted was to send the two out of the game field.

This copy is too cruel, but Lu's father's claim is that the mass death was only three years ago, and the previous one dates back more than ten years ago.

Either this dungeon will not be open to players every time, or depending on the group, there are other family groups, but they have not exchanged news with their own family.

Lu Qingjia took out two tubes of medicine from the space, which was a medicine bought from unlimited space.

It can erase people's painful memories in a short time, so that the spirit and mood can reach the best level.

This thing in Infinite City was originally a drug-like evasive existence, but unlike that, the body is not addictive and does not have side effects.

It's just that it's hard to say that it's addictive. After all, you can forget your worries and be happy once you use it. People can't refuse.

Lu Qingjia fed a tube to Mother Lu in her sleep, and poured the other tube into the water to trick Lu father into drinking it. In a flash, Father Lu was also sleepy.

While he was resting, Lu Qing Jiading airline ticket hotel packed his luggage and prepared his passport.

After the two woke up, they used their mental energy to guide them and lied to them: "It's too late. Let's have something to eat on the way to the airport. I have ordered first class. The food should be good. I can make up for it at that time."

It implied that the two had a travel plan long ago and sent them out of their homes. Three hours later, they would fly to a country where visa on arrival is possible and spend the next 15 days.

In view of Lu Qingjia's physique that the god of death is here now, he does not intend to send Lu father and mother, but the other party did not force it.

Although some inexplicably led by the nose, I was in a good mood when I went out.

As soon as the two left, Lu Qingjia arranged the following matters. Anyway, he had to return to the small mountain village first.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to take the cat out the next day, the cousin's family came to the door.

A group of people roared and slapped the door rudely, opening their mouths just to care that Lu Qingjia wanted the woman who made the wedding yesterday.

"At that time you took her away, you have to hand them over."

"I don't care, my son was killed by her. The murder pays his life, and she can't run."

Lu Qingjia didn't have the slightest affection for this family, and said with a smile: "You don't know where the cousin has been with her for five years?"

"I just watched it fight quickly, because I was afraid that the police station would cause people to be pulled out. Then she left. I didn't know her and of course I didn't know where she went."

"Bah! Who knows what you think about all day? You are the loneliest child, why didn't you die?"

"Auntie, it's all right, don't say that as a family."

"We went to find the woman, but she had already moved away, and the company where she was working didn't go. We suspected that she just ran away."

"The death of Qiangzi can't be explained. Since you took people away, you have to be responsible for finding them."

Lu Qingjia laughed, "Why didn't you count your cousin's death? What's the use of finding her?"

"Don't worry about this, you will always help find someone."

Lu Qingjia raised her eyebrows. It stands to reason that the woman was squeezed out of value by the cousin's family. Changing the groom's family to an ordinary person might indeed irritate the woman, believing that the other party killed someone.

But this family knows their own affairs in their hearts. At this moment, the anger turns to anger and understands it, but the woman has given up everything, and even the real estate that was going to be contested before should not just run away. Objectively speaking, they should relax and give up the fight. of.

If you want to find someone deliberately, don't you worry that the other party will tear your face and continue to fight?Anyway, she really did not have to pay any responsibility for the death of the groom.

The bridegroom’s parents are not sober because of hatred. What happened to the others?

Then the conclusion is that the woman took something they must take back.

Lu Qingjia pressed this point temporarily, and decided to go back to the mountain village first.

Conveniently said: "Okay, but I have something to go out. I will accompany you to find it when I come back."

"Your cousin is dead, don't you go out after finding someone? Do you have a conscience?"

"Where are you going?"

Lu Qingjia smiled: "I will go back to my hometown."

When a few people heard it, they suddenly showed an expression of looking at a madman, and they heard Lu Qingjia say again: "Oh, yes, I started to be unlucky yesterday afternoon, and I was almost killed by a steel pipe falling from the garage. It is estimated that I am too old, you leave me Too close."

That said, the few people took a big step back, and they didn't dare to approach anymore.

After leaving the family, Lu Qingjia received a message from an extreme player and an infinite player. The other party also set the curse from his family.

Thinking of Lu Qingjia who knew a lot of clues at the beginning, he was a bit of an alliance.

So he asked him if he wanted to go back to the mountain village together.

Lu Qingjia didn't refuse, because there were no coordinates there, and Lu Qingjia couldn't use his ability, and was afraid that ordinary people would be harmed by transportation, so he rented a car with three people and drove back.

When I left in the morning and arrived at the destination town, it was already evening.

After a long mountain road, Lu Qingjia and the three left their car in the town and headed straight towards the village.

The reason why the village is isolated from the rest of the world is that there are several major mountains in the middle. If you take a mountain road, there are nine bends and eighteen bends, and the distance of tens of miles is enough.

But in a straight line, the distance is shortened by nearly ten times. All three players are elders in physical skills. It is not a problem to cross the mountains and cross the river.

So it didn't take long to reach the village before the sun went down.

From a distance, I saw a dead cat hanging on the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. There are still a lot of this kind of customs in rural areas. Cats are not buried after death, but the body is hung on the tree.

When the three of them approached, Lu Qingjia suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned over the dead cat with a branch.

The cat's corpse turned around, and on the other end was still tied up with a purple, swollen, and somewhat rotten dead baby.

Players of the infinite and extreme games generally have a greater challenge to the physical limit when they pass the level, but they rarely have such a ghostly visual impact.

Seeing this, subconsciously stepped back.

As a result, he ran into someone. Looking back, a face was like the bark of an old tree, covered with age spots, and teeth fell out, but the old woman with seeping eyes in triangular eyes did not know when she appeared here.

Staring at the three people, as if satisfied, smiled and showed black teeth: "Are you back?"
