Chapter 156

Shen Yunzhe slept uneasily, or rather, no one could sleep well after knowing such a thing. In this situation, he even began to miss the mental state of the person code-named as a sleep disorder patient.

It’s so nice that you don’t need to care about anything and just go crazy when you’re unhappy.

This is a good mental state, he needs to learn from the code-named sleep disorder patient.

Then Shen Yunzhe was awakened by the suffocation.

He opened his eyes, hoping to withdraw his hand in time. The bastard who pinched Shen Yunzhe's nose and suffocated him turned his head silently to the side, but didn't look at him.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yunzhe asked him.

Hope finally turned to look him in the eye. "I sensed you were in a bad mood, so I was wondering if you needed a chat to lighten the mood."

"And then you woke me up?"

"Yes!" Codename Hope said confidently.

Shen Yunzhe opened his mouth towards him and said, "Believe it or not, I will bite you."

"Okay!" Codename Hope was actually excited. He looked at Shen Yunzhe excitedly and held out his arm to him. "Just bite here!"

Shen Yunzhe couldn't bring himself to bite. After all, he was a human of the new era. Even if he wasn't from this world, he was still human! He never had any strange hobby of biting people, especially when someone stretched out their arm to be bitten. Shen Yunzhe pushed his arm away in disgust.

"You're so annoying."

"You were the one who wanted to bite me, and now that you're not biting me anymore, you're saying I'm annoying and difficult to please." Codename Hope pouted, his angelic face pitiful, looking as if he'd suffered a great injustice. "Now I'm the unhappy one."

Shen Yunzhe looked at him and saw that he was pretending to be serious.

As long as Codename wants, he can pretend to be any kind of person, after all, he is a person who is used to pretending to be pitiful.

"Shen Yunzhe, I'm so sad." Codename Hope pulled his sleeve, "You must tell me what's making you unhappy so that I can cheer up."

Shen Yunzhe poked him, "You have to be unhappy before you're happy?"

"Not necessarily. If you're unhappy, I might be even more unhappy." Codename hoped to take the opportunity to squeeze himself into Shen Yunzhe's arms. "But no matter what, I really want to hear it."

I don’t know when it started, but Shen Yunzhe’s emotions have affected his emotions. Although for Code Name Hope, this emotional impact is equal to excitement and joy for him, whether happy or unhappy is a tangible reality.

Codename Hope always gets bored easily with one thing, but this is the first time that he is so eager for someone.

Or maybe he had stayed in this dark place for too long, and Shen Yunzhe had become his only stimulation. This stimulation after a long time had turned into a thorn, piercing his heart, making him numb with pain, but he couldn't stop, and he had developed a disease that loved pain.

"Shen Yunzhe." Codename Hope pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly, "I want to listen."

Shen Yunzhe did not answer. He just looked at the pitch-black surroundings. He could not see anything in the small black box where Codename Hope was. Only he himself seemed to be glowing. Codename Hope was forced to enter for twenty years and struggled alone until now.

This dead silence and darkness turned out to be his home.

"I seem to be from the playground." Shen Yunzhe finally said this.

Codename Hope tilted her head, "Hmm?"

"I'm from the playground." Shen Yunzhe pointed at the darkness, "I'm the child that Shen Wei stole from the playground."

After a long silence, Codename Hope touched his chin in confusion.

"Is there anyone else alive in this place besides me?" Codename Hope said this.

The gaming field is nourished by human negative emotions, which means that the core gaming field is full of negative things, and normal people simply cannot survive in it. Even the live broadcast system is a symbolic puppet, a tool that provides a vicious cycle of negative emotions.

Only Codename Hope, this pure anti-game field setting, can truly survive in this extreme space for more than 20 years.

Even if he hadn't died, his emotions had been affected to the extreme. He was like a ghost, not a human being.

Shen Yunzhe looked at him and said, "I guess he is also a human being."

"Well," Codename Hope thought for a moment, "Does that count as me living in your house?"

Shen Yunzhe:?

"I've been living in your house for twenty years. Are you going to take responsibility?" Codename hoped to burst into tears in an instant. I really didn't know where his tears came from. They fell without a second's notice. "I've been living alone in an empty house for twenty years. Why did you only come back this year? Irresponsible! Scumbag!"

Shen Yunzhe frowned and looked at him, "Is that what you think?"

"What else?" Codename hoped to return to his original appearance in a second. "Shen Yunzhe, many things are unpredictable. The future is never something that humans can determine."

"I've never had any hopes for the future, nor have I ever complained about the past. Even if I'm forced into this little black box and can't leave, I feel this is what life has to offer." Codename Hope reached out, as if caressing the darkness. "Hate or resentment, I'm just someone who lives life to the day."

"You always say I'm too extreme, but if I weren't a little more extreme, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the energy to live."

Codename Hope smiled and said, "So, it's just that the place of birth is a little special. What's the big deal?"

Shen Yunzhe looked at him. He said nothing, but his heart was quite complicated.

To be honest, although the synchronization rate with Code Name Hope had already reached 100%, Shen Yunzhe did not understand Code Name Hope. He had only one word to describe Code Name Hope's inner world: extreme.

He has extreme emotions and extreme disguises, wrapping himself up in the appearance of an angel, but his mind is full of destructive desires, and when he goes crazy he can implicate everyone.

But Shen Yunzhe never thought that he would be a person with a very low will to survive. He had been in this place for more than 20 years and had not died. He insisted on living even if he lost his mind. When he just synchronized with him, he immediately grabbed Shen Yunzhe hungrily, as if absorbing vitality.

Such a person would actually be someone who has no strength to live.

But then I think about it, he does things so extreme, and it seems that he really doesn't care about his own life. He never considers the future as long as it is exciting. The way he lives is different from others.

"Do you want to live the same life as me?" Codename Hope asked Shen Yunzhe, "Look at this pitch-black place. There's nothing there. It's not exciting or fun at all. One day in there feels like a year. I don't want to die, but I don't want to live either."

"I still remember you said you would take me home," he said. "But if this is your home, does that mean I've been taken home by you?"

"If that's the case, you can stay here with me this time!" Codename Hope suddenly got excited.

Shen Yunzhe reached out and patted him, stopping his nonsensical excitement, "This is not my home."

"Hmm?" Codename Hope blinked and looked at him innocently.

"My home is not like this." Shen Yunzhe said, "And I have no memory of being here, so it doesn't count."

He didn't know why he was born, and why he was stolen out of the playground by Shen Wei again, but Shen Yunzhe didn't like the playground filled with negativity. He longed for normal social relationships and hoped to stand in the light instead of walking into darkness.

If possible, he would also pull the code name Hope out of it.

If this guy stays here any longer, he might not have the strength to live anymore.

The next day, Shen Yunzhe stretched, got up and took a look at the refrigerator. He took out yesterday's leftovers and put them into the microwave.

He was obviously in a much better mood than before.

Codename Hope was right. It didn't matter where Shen Yunzhe was born. He only knew that he was a normal human being. He had no relatives since he was a child. He had lived well to this age. How could he be depressed because of a piece of news?

He wouldn't consider this little black box his home.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunzhe talked to the system while eating after the meal was ready.

"What exactly is Shen Wei's plan?" Shen Yunzhe asked, "Tell me in detail."

【Have you figured it out?】

"I can't force him to become my dad," Shen Yunzhe said vaguely while eating leftovers. "Plus, the way he looks at me is the same as looking at a collaborator. So I feel like these isomorphs, who are obviously more than 20 years older than me, are the same age as me because they died too early."

"You can't rely on your age to gain sympathy."

Codename Qianmian is the only one who has entered the mountain village. Relying on his special ability, he enters the core game field. He discovers a huge statue of the Virgin Mary in the core game field. At the same time, Codename Qianmian hears the voice of the Virgin Mary, who wants to fulfill his wish.

Of course, Shen Wei would not make a wish casually. After all, this was an amusement park. Making a wish in an amusement park seemed strange, and he did not believe that the wish would really come true.

At this moment, he unexpectedly heard the crying of a child. He followed the sound and unexpectedly found a baby on the statue of the Virgin Mary. At that time, Shen Wei's child had just been confirmed dead for only three days. When he first saw the child, Shen Wei thought that the Virgin Mary had secretly read his wish and fulfilled it, but in the end he found that this was not the case.

[Time in the playground is static. In other words, you are actually the same age as them, but time has been static since your birth, so you won't grow up. It's not until Chen Wei takes you away and you enter this world that you slowly grow up.]

Shen Yunzhe swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "So why did you take me away?"

Because only when you grow up will your abilities awaken and grow stronger. After learning about the existence of parallel worlds, Codename Thousand Faces began researching them and concluded that a single player couldn't compete with the game field, but you could.

[You are a native of the game field. After connecting to the parallel world, you have countless abilities. You are the only miracle that can compete with the game field.]

Okay okay.

Shen Yunzhe finished eating the heated leftovers.

Now there is only one question, that is why he has a parallel world system that can synchronize with his isotope?

That’s a really good question, and I guess the system doesn’t know either.

Shen Yunzhe was not satisfied with the coincidence, but it was also difficult for him to understand if it was not a coincidence. He put the plate in the sink, filled the sink with water, and watched the water gurgle all over the sink.

Shen Yunzhe thought: Just think of it as a reward from Shen Wei for stealing him away and giving him twenty years of peace.

Anyway, Shen Wei is dead, his child is dead, and there are no relatives of Shen Wei in this world. As long as he gets rid of the playground, no one will know even if he continues to live in this world with Shen Wei's child. Perhaps this is the benefit Shen Wei gave him when he made the decision.

Give him an identity that allows him to exist in this world.

Let him live in the sunshine until the end.

…

At noon, Shen Yunzhe received a call from Qiao Dong. After Shancun disappeared, they had not been able to find any trace of Shancun, but they had been trying. He called to ask Shen Yunzhe if he had any news, such as if there were any special landmarks in the mountain village. He had finally gotten to know the inside story of the mountain village, but now that Shancun was missing, he had no place to use his energy.

"A landmark?" Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment, "A kind female corpse, and a punishment room."

"A kind female corpse?" Qiao Dong frowned slightly. "I seem to have heard you say that the female corpse was fought over by the villagers and gave birth to a child."

"Yes." Shen Yunzhe said, "She might be the original strange creature. The punishment room is connected to the core game field. She might have been locked up in the punishment room for a long time, which led to her gradually becoming a strange creature. Yuehong and Xiaoqing were also locked up in the punishment room."

Qiao Dong nodded, "Then focus on finding villages with punishment rooms."

“Oh right…”

Before he could finish his words, Shen Yunzhe heard a crackling sound, as if the signal was interfered with. The sound was so sharp that Shen Yunzhe subconsciously moved the phone away from his ear. He looked at the phone screen in confusion. The call with Qiao Dong had been disconnected. At this moment, Shen Yunzhe saw the phone automatically enter an interface.

This is that strange APP. The APP lights up and then switches to the surprise easter egg interface.

Shen Yunzhe was surprised to see the surprise easter egg recovering.

Familiar pictures lit up one by one, and soon all the old surprise Easter eggs were restored, and the next moment a new window appeared.

The phone buzzed, and soon a new announcement appeared.

[Announcement: Surprise! A new surprise Easter egg has been created! Players, share it quickly!]

"What?" Shen Yunzhe looked at the announcement in surprise. "The surprise Easter eggs are back? And new surprise Easter eggs have been added?"

Shen Yunzhe clicked on this new surprise easter egg. During the live broadcast, countless barrages of comments were floating above it, with Chinese curse words and question marks everywhere. It seemed that it was not just him, other players had also received the notification. They gathered under the new surprise easter egg and released their fear.

In the narrow mobile phone interface, they can see a bloody fight.

People attacked each other with knives and sticks. Everyone looked like they had seen an enemy. Blood spurted out and the smell of blood seemed to be everywhere.

Until there was only one person left, he put down his weapon with pious joy, knelt on the ground and slowly moved forward. He kissed the hem of her skirt, and his bloody hands grasped her ankles. She was a dead body, her death was hideous, but her face gave people an indescribable kindness.

"I finally have you!" the victor shouted. "Haha, you are mine!"

"My love! My everything!"

Shen Yunzhe frowned, "Damn, isn't this the female corpse from the mountain village?! How did it appear in the surprise easter egg?"

At this time, the barrage was also constantly rioting.

[What? The surprise Easter egg is back!]

[Oh my god, what the hell is this? Why is someone snatching a corpse?!]

Don't you think this body is strange? I don't know why, but as I look at it, I really want to possess it. I feel like she's beautiful, very pretty, and something's not right.

[This must be a weird thing! Holy shit! I just came out of the playground, and I ran into this again!]

[Damn, she is so beautiful, so beautiful...]

Where is she? I want to see her.

[What's wrong with you upstairs? Hey! That's a weird thing!]

[No! She's not a weird creature. Even if she is, it doesn't matter. I'm in love with her and I want her!]

【Fuck! 】

Shen Yunzhe frowned slightly, and like countless others, he watched this player, or rather some players, express their fanatical love in the barrage of surprise easter eggs. They wanted to find this corpse and possess this corpse. This abnormal emotion made all the normal players panic.

Every player has entered the game field and knows what strange things are. They will not develop any feelings towards them. They have self-knowledge.

But it is precisely because of this that these players have such a strong and abnormal obsession with the female corpse in the surprise easter egg that makes them so terrified.

After turning off the surprise easter egg, Shen Yunzhe glanced at the time.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

I don’t know how many people had trouble falling asleep like him on New Year’s Eve.
