Chapter 176 Giant Amusement Park (End)

It was the first time that Baklie saw such a place.

This is more like a library than a factory.

Passing through the archway with the words "Soul Transfer Station" written on it, in front of you are rows of shelves that combine retro and modern decorations, and each shelf is filled with a large number of books.

Unlike books in the real world, these books have no introduction to the content of the book or the name of the author from the spine to the cover, but only people's names.

It seems that every person is a book.

There is a human head painted in the center. The circular image looks like a shining coin embedded in the cover of the book.

Bakri picked up a red book from a shelf with a picture of a woman with big wavy hair on it.

【Yan Shujing】

[Occupation: hair model (57%), online blogger (25%), part-time mother (18%)]

[The decomposable professional props are speculated to be: hairdressing tool set, self-media work set, mother's life schedule, etc. ...]

[Waiting for decomposition... Estimated recoverable soul coins: 34,800, A-C grade props, and a number of prop raw materials...]

Buckley opened his lips slightly, looking at the book in his hand in silence.

What's this?

Instructions for a list of values ​​after the player dies?

A thin book with just a few lines of description is filled with all the value that can be squeezed out of a human player after his death.

Compared to his shock and contemplation, Basson seemed much more at ease, moving quickly among the shelves as if he was figuring out the direction.

"Just read one or two books, don't waste time, we still have things to look for."

Bassen frowned, and when he saw that Baklie not only took another book, but was also muttering to himself the contents of the book, he said with a click of the tongue: "Forget it, forget it. You read it first. I'll go find it. I'll call you if I need help later."

"But I have to remind you that it's useless to just take the things here. You still have to go to the job conversion machine to pay for them before you can take them away. And it's best to choose the one that suits you. If there's nothing familiar in the job that takes up a large proportion of the front row, you won't be used to it if you change it to a suit."

As if he had spotted what he was looking for, Bassen's eyes lit up quickly and he trotted towards that direction.

During this time, he looked back at his brother vigilantly. Seeing that Baklie seemed more interested in the books on the shelves, he quickly put his mind at ease and concentrated on taking out a whole roll of electric wire, ready to notify Boss Cai.

And Buckley's palms were slightly sweaty. He could feel a piece of paper about the size of a bug in his pocket, crawling up his back. It was in the shape of an eye.

The other broken ear had already been put into his palm, continuing to listen to him read -

【Shi Yanjun】

[Occupation: full-time daughter (61%), private cake customization (30%), part-time dog walking (9%)]

…

【Wen Jiayin】

[Occupation: Product designer (45%), amateur long-distance runner (35%), food blogger (20%)]

…

Qiao Song listened and watched the scene here remotely, and seemed to understand what this so-called soul transfer station was.

This place is really just as Basson said, it is a factory for the soul.

These books organize and record the game attributes of the players in a special way.

No one will only do one job for their entire life, and these top-ranked job names seem to be the jobs that support and constitute the soul strength of these people.

Either it provides food and clothing, or it provides emotional value. In short, these superficial but important things constitute a person's life.

The data and information recorded in these books are straightforward and cruel, even taking into account the rewards before death and the value of recovery after death.

Just as Baklie and the broken version of Qiao Song, the little paper man on his body, continued to show the interior scene of the Soul Factory, they suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the ceiling.

A downward pulling mechanical arm appeared at some point, and Bakri suddenly tensed up all over and subconsciously retreated.

Unexpectedly, the robotic arm seemed to have its own goal. After falling to a certain height, it moved horizontally and quickly found a row of a bookcase and picked out a blue book from it.

The robotic arm walked away carrying the blue book.

However, Bakri discovered that in the place where the book that had been taken away originally was, there was suddenly a book with a white cover and was almost transparent as a whole.

Bakri's attention was instantly attracted, and he subconsciously raised his hand to take out the book. The little paper figure on his shoulder realized that something was wrong, but she had no mouth now. After Qiao Song's strategic retreat, only a small piece of paper with an ear and an eye was left on Bakri, so she couldn't make a sound to remind him.

At the moment he touched the book, he felt an inexplicable suction in his hand.

He realized something was wrong and tried to shake off the thing in his hand with trembling hands, but it was too late. He seemed to be stuck to the book and couldn't get free. At the same time, it seemed as if all the blood in his body, or some unspeakable things, were being sucked away by the book.

This transparent book is like an empty box, inside which lies a black hole that continuously absorbs souls and flesh.

Buckley felt that the missing part of himself seemed to have been transferred into this book.

Qiao Song, who had turned into a paper man, could see that a black and white pattern soon appeared on the cover of the white book, which looked very similar to the tattoo on Buckley's body.

And Bakri seemed to be gradually sucked dry, and his whole body weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Qiao Song was thinking about whether to use the paper man fragments to transmit some tools, a voice came from the other end of the shelf. Little ears and eyes drilled into Baklie's collar, and Bassen on the other end soon popped out.

"Hey, how did you get into this state?"

Bassen came out a step later, wearing a strange white glove on his hand, and quickly pulled the book out.

The book that had just made Buckley almost dead was actually dropped by him in an instant.

However, Bassen did not immediately run to comfort his brother, but quickly opened the black book whose portrait was almost transformed into that of Bakri, and quickly browsed through it.

After reading the occupational information above, he looked at his brother with a deep gaze, and then he quickly helped him up.

"I forgot to remind you just now. If a book on this bookshelf is taken away by the robotic arm and there are blank books on it, don't touch it, otherwise you will become one of the books on the shelf."

Bakri took two deep breaths and finally felt his strength gradually returning. The book in the corner was also slowly fading.

He turned to look at his brother: "What were you looking at just now?"

He already knew what was in the book, and he felt that Bassen really wanted to use him as a reserve food.

Was he just secretly looking at the career structure in the book to judge its value and consider whether to get rid of it and replace it with real professional skills?

Bassen patted his shoulder and said, "You think too much. There are hundreds and thousands of rows of shelves here and there are so many jobs waiting for me to choose from. Why would I want to rob yours? I'm just a little curious. Don't worry, I don't mean that."

After catching his breath, Bakri asked him to let go. Looking at his expression, he couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.

Bassen pointed in a distant direction and said, "We have already completed half of the work assigned by Boss Cai. Let's go over and give him a hand. If this order is successful, we will have enough seed capital to open a chain of map stores."

Baklie ignored the big promise he made. He had said the same thing to his previous companion before, but now the other party had become a jade carver according to his skills.

However, as he walked a few steps forward with his brother, his eyes gradually widened.

At the end of the rows of shelves is a strange pool of water with countless spots of light floating in it. Robotic arms constantly appear above it, grabbing a book from somewhere and putting it into the pool, stirring it to make the book melt, and then grabbing the next one.

With this pond as the center, like the sun's radiating rays, there stand countless bookshelves that seem to have no end.

"Do you see that robotic arm in the sky? That's the only eye of the main system here. Try not to touch it, and then insert these water pipes. Boss Cai will also open up the suction pipes as soon as possible to suck out more souls."

Bakri squatted down almost woodenly and held the pipe. This was far beyond his understanding of road games.

So many people, so many players, are just a book, a piece of raw material, melting like ice in the water.

No one knew where Bassen had taken out these wires, but now they had become a full meter wide and were rapidly absorbing the water from the pools.

Bassen's promise to help Boss Cai turned out to be to smuggle a large pool of solution out of the Soul Factory using wires.

The other end of the wire led directly to a palm-sized jade box in Bassen's hand.

"That guy opened too many new stores on Infinite Road, and there was not enough raw materials. For some reason, he got crazy this time and actually wanted to go to Zootopia to personally participate in the celebration. The gap in raw materials was too big, so we have the opportunity now... Bakri, what are you daydreaming about?"

Baklie looked at the pool of water and murmured, "I saw this pool when I failed the game and became a Trojan horse."

In the pool filled with all kinds of souls were floating the shouts of countless people. He felt that he was very close to the water surface at that time. He was almost suffocated in despair, but he met a fool who pushed him out after a few kicks.

Bassen suddenly laughed: "The pool you see may not be the pool here. It is very likely the River of Eternal Life. Some old men in the big guilds also like to call it the River of Styx. This pool is just a part of the River of Styx."

"The first time I knew about this river was in that special dungeon. Speaking of which, the people who passed through that dungeon together back then now have different identities, and some have even become guys like Boss Cai."

He couldn't help but sigh:

"Why would any player want to return to the real world? Isn't it better to stay in the game? As long as you understand the operation rules of the factory and the river, you can live forever. You have endless props and soul coins to spend. As long as you have a copy of your own and join the 12 committees, then even if you don't return to the real world, what's there to regret?"

"The system is so rigid and easy to fool. As long as we are on the same side with it, there won't even be any cops chasing us anymore."

Bassen spoke passionately, and Bakley suddenly said, "I've been in the game for so long, and you've never told me these things."

At that time, they just wanted to get a small broken car, pick some simple copies to do in various maps, and then slowly do their old business.

Only this time it's all legal stuff.

They resold props and sold information. People in the team came and went, and in the end only he, his brother, and his brother's childhood friend of more than ten years, Li Fei, were left.

Both he and Li Fei wanted to return to the real world. Li Fei had a fiancée. He had been a jade carver for so many years and had already saved up money to get married.

Bakri also has a small shop specializing in tattoos. In that chaotic area, apart from helping Bassen, he rarely gets involved in things that he shouldn't. He really likes tattoo-related work rather than reselling stones.

Only Bassen, in the real world, dreams of becoming a new legend in a certain triangular area. He doesn't want to be an ordinary guide who can only draw maps and help with smuggling and transporting goods.

The dream that could not be realized in reality is actually about to come true in the game.

With the added temptation of eternal life, how could Bassen not be tempted?

Buckley held the heavy pipe in his hand, keeping the mouth of the pipe facing the lake surface instead of sinking it completely into the water.

There is still a robotic arm above my head, moving back and forth according to some established rules, taking out a book and then putting it back into the water.

He suddenly asked, "Brother, have you guessed where I hid the other half of the map?"

Bassen, who was holding the electric wire, paused for a moment. He rarely heard Buckley call him brother. Then he smiled indifferently: "You only have a few places to hide things. The hardest one to find is the tattoo on your back."

As for that thing, as soon as he met his younger brother, he copied it down in advance with the requirement of passing the level.

Bakri was silent for a moment: "What is hidden in that place called Happy Cemetery?"

This is the only information that can be read on the map, an area full of tombs. Some people say that it is also a special copy, but no player has entered it yet.

There is a boundary marker over there with these four words written on it.

"I don't know either, but this map is indeed very important. It's another stepping stone for my cooperation with that display screen. Of course, if you want to go, we can go and take a look later if we have a chance."

Baklie lowered his voice and sneered: "Will you give me that chance?"

The moment he heard these words, a mechanical arm just fell down from above his head. Bakri instantly swung the pipe in his hand to the side. The huge pipe was very heavy, and Bassen reacted quickly and dodged to the side to avoid being knocked over by the pipe.

But a huge black and white tiger had jumped out from Bakri's tattoo.

A circle of green particles was also suspended around Bassen, all of which were jade Buddhist beads that had been polished in advance, protecting him firmly inside.

"What are you doing, asshole?"

Bassen raised the thinner tube in the water and pointed it directly at Buckley's face, pushing the solution that had just been drawn out back out.

These lake waters that can directly restore the books composed of players into skills and soul coins seem to have extremely strong corrosive power. Bakri was only splashed with a little bit of water, and he felt himself weakened.

Bassen seemed extremely angry: "How dare you attack me first!"

But Buckley smiled: "Otherwise, am I waiting for you to kick me down later?"

He knows better than anyone what kind of person his brother is.

Basson had kept him until now not to exchange for red coins, but just to confirm his skills and help him complete the final task assigned by Boss Cai.

There are so many pipes, Bassen can't handle them all by himself.

Basson told him in advance what the books on the shelves were for, and did not stop him from flipping through them, just to make him make mistakes and touch the white books so that he could check all his skill potential.

Buckley suddenly laughed sarcastically and said, "I thought that since you have read my book, you would be on guard against me. I overestimated your brain."

When Bakri encountered the white book absorbing his soul to generate information, he did not have time to look through the book, but he was clear about his own skills.

At the same time, the small piece of paper with eyes on Baklie's body could also be seen clearly.

Paper Man No. 2 Qiao Song, who was riding a motorcycle towards this side, uttered a word.

"Mystic?"

How could a guy who studies tattoos know about this kind of stuff?

At this time, the yellow delivery truck had already reached the edge of the amusement park. The fire outside was indeed very big, but it was not accompanied by extremely high temperatures, but rather a bone-chilling cold.

Qiao Song used soul sharing to remotely control the paper mannequin, and she could feel the feeling that was almost freezing her mind. Soon, she saw the young security guard Wang Anning lying at the gate of the wall.

This guy was lucky. The fire was almost reaching the wall. His lips looked pale, but his pulse was weak. He was still alive.

Qiao Song No. 2 thought for a moment, pulled out a toolbox from his body, and randomly made a square paper box to temporarily protect the area. Then he entered the space with a hammer, ready to help along the pipe.

It wasn't that she wanted to take the risk of helping the tattoo artist, but mainly because she was very concerned about the map that he had talked about with her brother before.

Qiao Song even suspected that Bakri deliberately mentioned this map when he was talking to Bassen. After all, they had only reached a verbal agreement before. Qiao Song didn't want his brother Bassen to have an easy life, but that didn't mean he would risk his life to save his brother Bakri.

But she also wanted the map that the display screen wanted so much.

When she was rushing towards this side along the passage, Bakri had already used his most powerful skill to catch his brother off guard.

"Mystic?"

When Bassen saw the book belonging to Buckley on the bookshelf just now, his heart skipped a beat.

"When did you become interested in these weird things? You even awakened a skill!"

During his many years at the border, Bakri developed a hobby of dealing with some strange books. He met many people from different countries every day and gave them various tattoos. As a result, he came into contact with a lot of texts, literature, and mysterious things.

Of course, it is difficult for him to fully understand those things with his level of education, but this does not hinder his career share, with the second place being mystic.

[Entry-level occultist, tattoo overlay text in use]

【Mental confusion——】

A series of tiny and strange words had long been made into the style of tattoos, densely covering Bakri's skin all over his body.

Bassen, who was holding the pipe and preparing to attack directly with lake water, suddenly felt dizzy in his head. He quickly steadied himself and took out a carving knife from his arms.

"You ungrateful bastard!"

Bassen no longer cared about the task assigned by Boss Cai and prepared to clean up the house first.

Simply cut the pipe in your hand to maximum power, reverse the interface, and spray out the lake water sucked out.

The power of these solutions is more useful than any skills. When the gushing water hits the bookshelf, the books on the shelf that are visible to the naked eye melt quickly like ice cubes encountering hot water.

Bakri was running for his life between the rows of bookshelves. In his hand, he held a strange pen. One end looked like a tattoo and engraving pen, but the other end looked like a brush for coloring.

[Black curse is in effect, current curse balance is 1/2]

A large number of tattoos flew out of Baklie's body. Those ferocious beasts, even the evil ghosts with green faces and fangs, would melt instantly when they came into contact with the lake water after leaving his body.

Only the shackle-like curse penetrated the spraying lake water like a chain and directly locked Bassen's throat.

The latter was not paying attention for a moment and suddenly started coughing violently as if he had a bad cold.

In those few brief seconds, he almost coughed out his lungs, and when he looked up, a gleaming metal hammer appeared before his eyes.

Bassen was no fool either, he immediately raised the water pipe in his hand to flush.

When he saw the paper man coming to help, he didn't feel surprised at all. He knew that he had dealt with the little paper man too quickly and too strangely. The bastard Baklie had indeed communicated with that guy!

Logically speaking, a paper figure that requires soul power to control should melt quickly when it comes into contact with lake water. However, this guy simply swung the hammer around and blocked most of the lake water like a fan.

"Hey, brat, there's an electric bike outside, just ride it to the aquarium. You have the paper I brought with you, and those people will let you in."

Baklie was a little bit incredulous. Although he knew that he had deliberately mentioned during the conversation that with some special map, Qiao Song would most likely find a way to help him escape, he didn't expect it to be this method.

He was not stupid enough to waste the opportunity created by Qiao Song. Without looking back, he ran back to the Giant Park along the passage outside the factory.

Bassen was almost furious: "Do you know who you are against? You are such an ignorant and short-sighted guy!"

He waved a circle of green stones to protect himself firmly in the center, but Qiao Song didn't intend to attack him directly at first. This guy had a lot of prop cards on him. She had experienced this before when he was in the career conversion machine.

While provoking the opponent, Qiao Song also made a detour to lock onto his target.

When Bassen realized what Qiao Song was going to do, his eyes became flustered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qiao Song actually used a big hammer to smash the mechanical knob that was used to adjust the pipeline valve.

In order to avoid being controlled by the main system, everything on it needs to be turned on manually, otherwise the display screen will not specifically find a former player friend to help it do this remotely.

But once the things in your hands are locked, you cannot change them even if the system is remotely operated.

Bassen's face turned green instantly.

"Are you crazy? If the pipe is reversed, everything on the other side will be sucked back! Are you trying to make the lake water flow back? If so, the entire Giant Park, no, the entire Scream Game Hall, and even the Blind Box Mall will be affected!"

Paper Man Qiao Song smiled and said, "That has nothing to do with me. Anyway, the one who suffered the most loss must be the convenience store manager, followed by the administrator of the Screaming Game Hall, and finally me."

The main attack injures the enemy by one thousand, the enemy's neighbor suffers five hundred, and she suffers twenty herself.

These twenty yuan are for paper making.

"Besides, it was you who changed the valve from sucking water to discharging water, not me. If you don't die this time, your fate might be worse than death."

Qiao Song had watched the game for a while before just to figure out what all of this guy's pipes were used for, and this time she found a way.

She is now in the state of a paper man, and is not afraid of anything.

But Bassen was afraid of death. If he failed to smuggle the raw materials for the display screen and instead drained the raw material pool on his side and brought the raw materials here, he would encounter something more terrifying than death!

Basson gave up attacking with the water pipe almost instantly, and wanted to make up for his loss by switching it back to the water absorption state. However, another valve in his hand was inexplicably stuck.

[Black Curse 2, has taken effect, current curse balance 0/2]

When the skill prompt sounded in his ears, Bakri had already escaped to the vicinity of the park's wall. He saw at a glance the cardboard box at the door that had been half burned by flames, and the yellow electric scooter protected by heavy cardboard boxes.

He didn't dare to hesitate and got on the electric scooter. He took a look at the guy on the back seat, who didn't do anything. He also helped the security guard who he had cheated, and tried his best to rush towards the aquarium with him.

But this is the Giant Amusement Park, the players and motorcycles are very small, and there is almost only black in the park, which is the color of burning flames.

How long will it take to get to the aquarium at this rate? 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour?

But he had no other choice, his only hope of escape was there.

Just as Bakri was driving his electric scooter towards the aquarium with almost trembling teeth, he suddenly saw an ice cream truck that appeared out of nowhere.

A guy wearing an amusement park employee uniform came over helplessly, pushing a cart.

"I agreed to make this trip for 6,000 soul coins. I'm really at a loss."

The excitement of making extra money was no longer in his eyes. Instead, he looked at the miserable scene in the park with a bit of resignation.

"Forget it. I'm not the one who suffers the most anyway. If the sky falls, the taller person will have a more painful head."

He grabbed the motorcycle and the two little figures on it, and pushed the ice cream cart quickly, almost as if he was racing on ice. Once he arrived at the aquarium, he quickly threw the two passengers in.

With a puzzled look on his face, Buckley entered the aquarium and quickly bought himself a ticket, while the security guard next to him already had a ticket in his arms.

The two figures disappeared one after another, and soon appeared in the transparent passage full of people.

In an instant, everyone in the aquarium's viewing corridor looked over, including the surrounding fish.

The gaze was like a strange story, making the people in the middle feel a little uneasy.

Baklie held the young security guard in his arms, feeling that he was his life-saving shield. He carefully pushed him forward and said, "I didn't do anything to him, nor did I harm anyone. It was you, someone from your side, who asked me to come here."

Lou Keqing, Chi Xiaoyao and others looked at him warily. Soon, Qiao Song's somewhat tired voice came from the other end of the passage: "Let him come over. We don't have time."

This voice made Bakri's body tremble, and soon he saw a woman rubbing her forehead with an uncomfortable expression walking towards him from the other end of the passage. She seemed to be the leader of this group of people, and everyone was spontaneously moving towards her.

"Everyone is here, let's prepare to go straight through the customs, but before that, I would like to remind you of one thing."

Qiao Song exhaled and pointed at the group of strange things in the back. They were all dilapidated facilities in various areas of the amusement park. "These should be the guys who failed to pass the level. They are also on the list of people who can be redeemed outside. You can use rewards to exchange for the freedom of these people. When the system gives you rewards later, you can choose to exchange or not."

At this time, Baklie stared at her straight, his fists clenched with some nervousness. After all, one of the reasons why he cooperated with Qiao Song was that when they encountered the professional vending machine, a paper man whispered in his ear that he could provide a place for the reward for passing the level.

Rather than trying to get something from the tiger with that capricious brother, it is better to cooperate directly with this player.

At least in his eyes, this guy didn't even abandon the stupid security guard from before.

Qiao Song, who had been thinking about selling the security guard's walkie-talkie to make a fortune, slapped the unconscious man twice, but the latter did not react at all.

"Forget it, let's just go to that pile of items."

Tang Xiaoxiao had already sorted everything out, there were a total of 8 items. When everyone gathered together, Qiao Song took out the toolbox and took out a net bag from it, released Jin Jiaqi, whose eyes were deformed, and stuffed an aquarium ticket into her arms.

Then he took out a corpse from the toolbox with most of its body melted.

Bakri's heart beat twice, and soon returned to normal.

His emotions suddenly became complicated as he recognized who it was.

Basson.

That's his brother.

The brother who wanted to kill him but ended up dying tragically himself.

Before everything was over, Qiao Song suddenly said another sentence.

"After you get out, don't hesitate, leave the Screaming Game Hall immediately, and don't try to stay and participate in any other games to exchange blind boxes. Take the rewards and leave, it should be very dangerous over there."

Before some people understood the meaning of her reminder, a system prompt sounded in their ears.

[Ding——It is detected that all members have gathered. The current map status is special and is in an extra-staff state. All members have purchased tickets to the aquarium and meet the minimum clearance requirements. In order to avoid the impact of pollution, they will be cleared directly and the rewards will remain the same! ]

[Ding——Congratulations on clearing Giant Amusement Park! ]

At the same time, in a corner of the bustling Scream Game Hall, the edge of a game machine was icy cold, as if it had been wet and water was seeping out of it.

A small black flame soon burned on the inky water ball.

The author has something to say:

Bassen was directly attacked by the curse - only half of his body was left

Boss Cai, who was indirectly suffering from some higher-level crow's mouth curse and wanted to secretly transport raw materials, looked at the water level in his own warehouse which was decreasing instead of increasing:?
