Chapter 19: The Disappearance of Line 5 (3) “The third game is about to begin…

Bo Bei's answer was finally written down.

Most passengers calculated different results, whether it was due to differences in cognition or genuine omissions or over-calculations. Almost no one came up with a consistent answer, which was obviously wrong. The problem led them astray from the beginning.

Xie Jianshan originally thought that he should not really count the objects in the car, but Bai Bei's words made him realize it.

The question itself is indeed not clear enough, and the answer may not be a clear number. 0 can be viewed from a philosophical perspective, and infinity can be said to be both broad and narrow, not to mention that the question is about "things".

Air itself is also a matter.

【Have you come across this strange story before? 】

Bo Bei's answer, which came out without a second thought, struck the system as odd. It had assumed that such a strange story, hardly a high-risk one, wouldn't be remembered. "So this is the answer? Or one of them?"

"Infinite." Bai Bei said casually, "The 0 is used to fool them. After all, they can fill in multiple answers."

system:【……? 】

That's bad. Xie Jianshan seems to have imagined a lot.

"But I didn't expect it to be this title." Bai Bei was indeed surprised when he saw it. "I remember there were five players in each carriage. There were eight carriages in total, but there was only one game in each carriage."

"Once you finish the game in your car, you can move on to the next car. Some cars have a limit on the number of people, and the last car requires no fewer than 25 players."

The system curiously asked: [If there are less than 25 people, will they not be allowed into the carriage? What should I do then?]

Bai Bei was indifferent, "Just wait to die."

system:【. 】

System: [This doesn't sound like the difficulty of a B-rank game. Are the games in the last few carriages difficult?]

"...No." Bai Bei's eyes were a little complicated. He stared at the white door not far away, and the voice of the broadcasting box announcing the correct answer was in his ears. "After you complete the game in the last car, the true content of this strange story will be revealed."

"The domain of the strange story is Line 5. The line is very extensive, and the subway cars are just one part of it."

The system followed up on his words. Bo Bei had rarely mentioned anything about his experience in the Kaidan game. It actually wanted to hear about it, but it was too embarrassed to pester him. [Could it be that there were also some in the tunnel?]

"Yeah." Bai Bei was now very afraid that the white door would suddenly disappear. "At that time, the connection between the carriages was directly severed. The broadcast told all players to find a way to get down on their own. The safety of the car could not be guaranteed."

"That was my third time doing a dungeon, but it was also my first time getting tricked by a ghost story dungeon. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I would have died there."

System: [……] I don’t dare to speak, I want to laugh.

Perhaps because of talking about the dungeon experience, Bai Bei remembered more things, "Wine was also in that dungeon. I first met him in this strange story. We were in the same car at the beginning, and later we cracked several games together."

In the beginning, before Wine founded the U Guild, Bo Bei had worked with him in the ghost story game more than once, and they cooperated very well. After the dungeon was released, they added contact information on the panel communication channel and occasionally discussed some ways to pass the dungeon.

It can be said that their relationship was pretty good at that time. After all, there was no conflict of interest and they were all newcomers.

Later, Wine established the U Guild and invited Fei to join, wanting him to serve as vice president, but he was rejected. By then, Fei and Wine had both left their rookie status behind and were ranked very high on the overall leaderboard, attracting much attention.

Not long after, another guild named "Pyramid" appeared in the players' field of vision. They focused not on tactics, resources, or points, but on intelligence. The accuracy of their information on survival paths in dungeons was terrifyingly high, attracting players to apply for registration.

These two guilds are also in their start-up phase and are in urgent need of growth, so the competition is quite fierce.

All players know who the president of U and Pyramid is, but there are also rumors that the real person behind the Pyramid is not Que, but Fei. This sentence reached Wine's ears.

During a dungeon run, a single member of U's group deliberately hid the rules, and combined with their misguided use of skills, ultimately implicated multiple players, further lowering their already low survival rate. Fei showed no mercy and allowed that member of U's group to remain in the dungeon.

But that guy is one of the core members of U, and relying on this, he has always acted unscrupulously, bullying lower-level members and even murdering other innocent players.

The fact is that no matter what, Fei took action against the core members of U. What's more, the president of Pyramid is Que. Even if Fei is not the person behind it, he will not have no connection at all.

This is also one of the reasons why the relationship between Wine and Fei took a sharp turn for the worse. The more he admired Fei in the past, the more he wanted to kill him later. Fei, who was not planning to become a member of the U Guild, should be more of a threat to him than his companions.

Fei, who was on the U blacklist, didn't feel anything about it. He even jokingly asked Que whether he wanted Pyramid to make a whitelist.

Fei's ID has always been on the U Guild's wanted list. The members of U have tried their best to hunt him down in the dungeon and look for his traces outside the dungeon.

After Fei left the game, Wine went crazy and went looking for Que. It had almost become his obsession to kill Fei with his own hands. The commotion that day was too loud, and in the end, the dungeon system had to intervene to calm the situation down.

"I find it strange. Wine is such a free-spirited person, but he didn't kill you just because he wanted to recruit you again?"

After listening to Bobei's recounting of his past experiences, the system, with great interest, began analyzing Wine's inexplicable transformation: "Even if the U Guild became a U organization dedicated to protecting ghost stories, Wine wouldn't change his mind just because you join or not."

Bai Bei couldn't explain it clearly. There might be other reasons. Since it was a transaction between Wine and the system, there might also be interference from the overall game system. "I don't know. Why don't you ask him? You can get in touch with someone else."

"It's okay if you sneak into Wine's head and ask, but remember to avoid the main system and don't get caught."

The system, being led astray, subconsciously agreed and was about to do as Bai Bei said, but it quickly reacted, […Who are you leading astray?! I won't be fooled!]

Having failed to deceive, Bai Bei sighed. It was still rest time at the stop, so he closed his eyes and leaned back to rest. Xie Jianshan, on the other hand, was in high spirits, whispering something to a passenger on the other side.

"Congratulations to all passengers for successfully completing two games. The third game is about to begin - the survival game. After thirty minutes, only one person in the carriage can survive, otherwise everyone will die."

The broadcast did not even mention the punishment, but directly stated the result of "death".

"Only one person can be left? Isn't this just asking us to kill each other?!"

"That's too cruel... This is fake! The first two were just games, how could the third be like this?!"

Even though all the anomalies indicate that if the instructions are not followed, the death broadcast will probably come, no one wants to kill others. After all, they are all strangers with no deep hatred.

The atmosphere became a little subtle. Bai Bei opened his eyes. Since Shi Yu got on the car, the barrage of comments became active again.

[Don’t take Line 5. Don’t take Line 5. Don’t take Line 5. Don’t take Line 5.]

[? Where did this repeater come from? Is anyone here to take care of it?]

[I'm dying of laughter. What a stupid little game (x) Why is the random game in the carriage where Shi Bao is a digital bomb? Hahaha]

Passengers currently playing mini-games: Hehehe, passengers who will later discover the last one is playing a survival game: No hehe.

[I remember that in the third game, all the carriages seemed to be the same... How can I do this? There's no loophole to exploit. Do I have to smash the carriages and run away?]

The other passengers would be terrified...

Bai Bei lowered his eyes to look at the floor beneath his feet, loosened his grip on the handrail slightly, drew a short arc in the air with his index finger, and silently opened the game panel.

He was thinking about using props to knock all these people out and end the battle quickly, as Shi Yu's third game would start soon.

Bai Bei's eyes were fixed on a certain prop. He put one hand behind his back, intending to take it out when no one was paying attention, but was interrupted by Xie Jianshan's shout: "Put your hand down!"

"What do you want to do? Are you planning to murder others and ruin your life because of this game? If you really strangle him to death, what will you do after you get off the car?!" A series of low roars made Bai Bei put down his hands, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

Xie Jianshan grabbed the hand of the passenger with ill intentions, his face filled with fury. The man shrank back in fear, stammering and frantically trying to explain, "The radio said only one person could survive. I had no choice but to do this!"

"Being caught is better than dying... Do you want everyone on the bus to die together?"

Xie Jianshan couldn't help but tighten the strength of his hands. Although he was angry, he also felt powerless. Now he couldn't even leave here, let alone find a way to save all the passengers.

"Ah...! Something seems to have happened to someone in the next car!" The screams attracted all the passengers to look towards the white door that the hands were pointing at. The splattered blood blocked the glass and nothing could be seen, leaving only the spreading panic.

"Bang - bang bang -" The sound of knocking on the doors and windows was extremely rapid. The bloodstains on the car window glass were wiped off, and the face pasted on it still looked blurry, but it disappeared in a few seconds. It goes without saying what will happen next.

"What should I do... Do I really have to?" When Bai Bei heard the two high school students who were almost crying with fear, he suddenly thought of Shi Yu who was on another train. He had just graduated from high school, but he was so brave that he wanted to go even though he knew it was dangerous.

Shi Yu wanted to take all the passengers out, but would he be disappointed if those people pointed their knives at him in the end?

There was no time to delay. Bai Bei opened the game panel again, this time without any hesitation.

He had to get rid of this weird story as soon as possible.
