Shen Yunzhe, who grew up in an orphanage, was laid off by his company. After failing to find a job, he was tricked into a thrilling live-stream game.
The process was full of hardships and ter...
Chapter 64
The woman in the white dress laughed happily, her voice so loud that it was particularly obvious in this amusement park where only music was played, but it seemed that no one saw or heard it except Shen Yunzhe.
The old wooden horse made a creaking sound as parts collided with each other, and the babbling music became more and more distorted.
Finally someone couldn't stand it anymore.
"When will it end? This song is so weird." Player Tang Feng asked the people around him.
"One round of the carousel only takes ten minutes. Just hold on a little longer. If you leave early, you might be considered as not having completed the race." Wang Shiyu, who was sitting in front of him, answered.
Only Shen Yunzhe was looking to the side, his eyes fixed on the laughing woman in the white dress.
Seeing her laugh, Shen Yunzhe found that he couldn't help laughing too. He realized that he shouldn't laugh now, because there was a strange thing in front of him that was not a player. Laughing would be too scary, but he couldn't help but smile, as if he was really immersed in the joy of this ghost.
The players in groups around him all gave him complicated looks.
Wow, something's wrong.
This doesn't seem to be a sunny and cheerful boy.
[Codename Locksmiths cannot carry out normal social activities because they treat everyone equally.]
Shen Yunzhe slowly put a question mark in his mind.
[Regardless of gender, age, child, rich or poor, he sees them all as the same and treats them all the same, without any prejudice or bias. Even strange creatures cannot be treated as monsters. You can ride the carousel with this female ghost because you don't think she is a ghost at all.]
But Shen Yunzhe knew that she was a female ghost, a scary creature different from humans.
Shen Yunzhe still had some rationality, but he could only suppress the impulse of Codename Locksmith to get close to others.
The carousel turned again, and there was a bang, and the laughter of the woman in the white dress stopped abruptly. Shen Yunzhe subconsciously turned his head to look at the carousel beside him, but saw that there was no one on it. The woman fell to the ground, and blood flowed from her forehead.
She fell from the highest point of the carousel and landed on her head.
The carousel was still turning with a creaking sound. Shen Yunzhe watched as the horse turned a circle and rolled over the woman. No one present noticed this.
The singing stopped, the carousel stopped, and everyone got off the carousel. Shen Yunzhe stood there looking at the woman under the horse. After a moment, he took out his mobile phone and looked at his e-ticket. The red stamp on the ticket was particularly conspicuous.
"Shen Yunzhe?" People who left the carousel called him outside, seemingly confused as to why he wasn't leaving yet.
Shen Yunzhe looked at them and then said, "I want to sit here again."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's expression turned unhappy.
"Ji Yu, there's good news!" Shen Yunzhe waved and shouted, "Check your e-ticket. Is there an extra stamp?"
Ji Yu was stunned for a moment. She looked at Shen Yunzhe's smile with some surprise. After staring at Shen Yunzhe for a few seconds, she suspiciously opened her e-ticket and then unexpectedly found that there was indeed an extra stamp on her e-ticket. This stamp was a commemorative badge...
"Is it a pirate ship?!" Xie Yiyun, the girl next to her, said in surprise.
"Yes, I saw that woman too." Shen Yunzhe leaned over the railing of the carousel. "I saw that woman because she stole your e-ticket and used your number of times to play this game, so there is an extra stamp on the e-ticket."
Shen Yunzhe said, "I have to ride the carousel one more time because she stole my chance, so the last time doesn't count."
Everyone was stunned. They looked at Shen Yunzhe in surprise, their eyes gradually lighting up.
To be honest, Shen Yunzhe's behavior in this playground was really strange. He laughed while playing on the carousel and seemed to have no sense of crisis at all in the playground. He talked to people and acted quite cheerful and sunny. Even Wang Shiyu wondered if she had recognized the wrong person.
Where was that amazing player who turned the tide during the Easter Egg Live Broadcast?
Until now, Shen Yunzhe discovered the secret of the woman in white with just one ride on the carousel, and everyone realized that even though Shen Yunzhe looked like this, his observation skills were so sharp.
They never imagined that it was the woman in white who was stealing their e-tickets.
If they don't realize it before, they might be surprised to find that they can't leave the game field and end up regretting it for the rest of their lives.
"So that's how it is." Ji Yu's eyes lit up, "So it was that woman who stole my play times when we passed the pirate ship, so that's not actually a death condition."
"Thank you, Shen Yunzhe." Ji Yu looked at the stamp excitedly, "That's great."
Shen Yunzhe waved at her and then went to punch his card again. The clock punch made a beep and Shen Yunzhe returned to the carousel. Although he was the only one there, the carousel still started. When he passed the place where the woman in white had fallen just now, he found that the woman had disappeared.
There were no signs of being crushed on the green weeds, only a faint reddish-brown color could be seen at the roots. Shen Yunzhe sat on it and hummed a song with interest. The abandoned playground seemed to be a beautiful paradise.
Although it was a bit strange, Shen Yunzhe unexpectedly liked the code name Locksmith.
Unlike other codenamed isotopes, the locksmith is truly happy and is happy no matter what happens.
I was happy to help others, happy to discover new clues, happy to go to the amusement park for the first time, and happy to ride the carousel with the female ghost.
As for whether others find him scary, that is not his problem.
While Shen Yunzhe was playing the second round of the carousel, the remaining players were looking at the map. They took advantage of these ten minutes to find the amusement projects that felt safe, and then play them one by one. They were so tired of studying that they looked up and saw Shen Yunzhe having a lot of fun.
It was as if they were not entering the same playground.
The carousel stopped. Shen Yunzhe opened the electronic ticket again and found that the red stamp on the ticket had disappeared. He left through the exit, but when he got down, he found that everyone's eyes were not right.
Instead of looking at the map, they seemed to be hesitantly looking at Wang Shiyu who was in the front.
Um?
"We have made a plan." Wang Shiyu showed the map to Shen Yunzhe. Shen Yunzhe looked at Wang Shiyu and finally found that there was an extra hairpin in her hair.
The hairpin is white with small yellow flowers and green leaves on it.
Shen Yunzhe reached out to grab the clip on her head, but Wang Shiyu turned around and dodged it.
"Does it look good?" Wang Shiyu asked Shen Yunzhe with a smile.
"It looks good." Shen Yunzhe nodded, "But you haven't worn this clip before?"
Wang Shiyu put away her smile and stared at Shen Yunzhe with suspicion and distrust in her eyes.
"I knew it. You wanted to steal my hairpin. You all wanted to steal my hairpin, but this hairpin is mine! None of you can steal it!"
After shouting, Wang Shiyu ran out. Shen Yunzhe didn't have time to catch her. The people around her watched her run away without paying any attention to her.
"But my hair is not long, so I don't need a hairpin." Shen Yunzhe said in a low voice.
Wen Hai sighed and patted Shen Yunzhe on the shoulder. "Don't worry about her. She won't listen to anyone right now. Something's obviously wrong."
Wang Shiyu picked up this hairpin around the carousel. At that time, Shen Yunzhe was still on it. They were planning their route while looking around for any clues. As a result, after just a few seconds of not looking, a strange hairpin appeared on Wang Shiyu's head.
They all tried to take the hairpin off, but Wang Shiyu became very strange. She did not allow anyone to touch the hairpin. If anyone made any move, she would think they were stealing it.
"She holds that hairpin in her arms like she loves it more than a red banknote!" Jing Lianzhong, the usually taciturn middle-aged player, also chimed in. "We can't snatch it away, and there's no way we can take it away. It's so weird. Everyone, please be careful not to pick up trash randomly in the future."
Shen Yunzhe ignored the person who was speaking. He acted very quickly and avoided the person in front of him and chased after him in an instant.
The other players who were about to explain something shut their mouths silently.
"Is he being a pushover?" Che Qing, the last female player, whispered.
"That's their wish." Wen Hai glanced at Che Qing and said, "Don't worry about them. Let's follow the plan first."
They turned around and left in a mighty manner, leaving only Ji Yu standing there. She turned her head to look at the huge pirate ship in the distance, sighed softly after a moment, and caught up with the large group in front.
…
Shen Yunzhe chased to the bottom of the pirate ship. Wang Shiyu was standing there at this time. She raised her head to look at the sky, with her mouth open and empty eyes. Shen Yunzhe walked over and pulled off the hairpin on her head. Wang Shiyu blinked as soon as the hairpin was pulled off.
She lowered her head blankly, then turned to look at Shen Yunzhe blankly.
"Shen Yunzhe?" she asked, "Why are we here?"
Shen Yunzhe smiled and raised the hairpin in his hand, "Does it look good?"
"...It's a bit ugly, not in line with my aesthetic taste." Wang Shiyu frowned, "Why are you asking me if a weird hairpin looks good?"
Shen Yunzhe nodded, "It seems to have returned to normal."
"What's the meaning?"
"So, I took it from your hair." Shen Yunzhe put the hairpin on the ground. "You came here alone wearing this hairpin, and I came after you."
Wang Shiyu was stunned. She subconsciously reached out to touch her hair, her face pale.
She knew what Shen Yunzhe was talking about.
"So you caught up with me? And you even pulled this hairpin off?!" Wang Shiyu looked at Shen Yunzhe with an unpleasant expression, "Are you a fool? What is your purpose? Do you want me to repay you in the future? But Shen Yunzhe, none of us knows what will happen in the future."
Shen Yunzhe looked at her puzzledly, "What are you talking about?"
"No one will help others for no reason. This is a playground, a place where you can test the rules with your life."
"I just don't think this hairpin looks good." Shen Yunzhe said, "I want to grow my hair long in the future, so I'll probably get some hairpins then. If you want to wear a hairpin, pick one that looks good."
"Don't be so dead, we are all still alive."
Wang Shiyu could hardly understand what Shen Yunzhe was saying. It was indeed difficult for her to understand because Shen Yunzhe did not say his purpose, nor did he even say why he saved people. He just discussed with her very naturally whether the hairpin looked good.
"Okay, let's go. They should go to other amusement equipment." Shen Yunzhe pulled her wrist and walked back.
When they returned to the carousel area, they found that everyone had disappeared. Shen Yunzhe didn't care. He chose a seat and started playing the planned amusement projects with Wang Shiyu. He thought that since everything was according to the plan, they would always meet each other. After all, this amusement park was not that big.
Wang Shiyu didn't know how to react, so she could only be dragged up by him to check the ticket again and again.
They went to the swing area, Shen Yunzhe got on the swing first, and Wang Shiyu took out her mobile phone to check the ticket, but at that moment she was horrified to find a familiar hairpin on the ticket machine. Wang Shiyu hurriedly checked the ticket and put the mobile phone in her pocket, turned around and ran to the swing area.
It's okay, as long as she doesn't pick up the hairpin...
As the swing swayed, she finally remembered how she had picked up the hairpin.
Shen Yunzhe was on the carousel, and when she looked over, she saw a fleeting flash of blood. Wang Shiyu was really brave. She realized that there might be something there, so she walked over, and as a result, she saw the dried reddish-brown color on the carousel.
It was like someone had fallen there and blood was flowing down.
She remembered the bloodstains under the pirate ship, so she squatted down to look for the same traces, and found the hairpin.
The moment she saw the hairpin, she seemed to have lost her mind. Her eyes were full of the hairpin, and her heart was full of how beautiful it was. She couldn't help but pick up the hairpin and look at it over and over again, and put it on her head with joy. From that moment on, she was no longer normal.
I feel like everyone is peeking at my hairpins and that they all want to steal my things.
You have to leave quickly to save the hairpin.
The swing was swaying, Wang Shiyu was in a trance, and a flash of white was swaying in front of her eyes.
She suddenly raised her head and saw a woman in a white dress squatting in front of her. She grinned and slowly put a hairpin on her head. Wang Shiyu opened her eyes wide and wanted to scream, but found that she could not control her voice at all. She could not open her mouth and could not shout.
Yu Guangzhong and Shen Yunzhe were sitting on the swing next to her, playing with their heads down, as if they didn't notice this side at all.
Help, help...
Her vision became increasingly blurred and her consciousness became unclear. Just when she was in despair, a voice brought her back to reality.
"Do you like this hairpin so much?"
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked to the side. Shen Yunzhe was holding the hairpin in his hand, and her terrified expression was reflected in his eyes.
"Ah!" Wang Shiyu screamed shrilly, "This hairpin has been following me! A woman put it on my head!"
"I can't refuse!"
“Throw it away!!”
Shen Yunzhe watched her hysterically, and only spoke after her sobbing subsided, "If what you said is true, then there's no point in throwing it away. Even if it's thrown far away, it will be picked up and brought back to you."
"What should I do?" Wang Shiyu cried while sitting on the swing. "Is it impossible to avoid it? Why me? I just saw this hairpin."
Shen Yunzhe watched her cry and stood there in silence.
About a minute or two later, Wang Shiyu, who was in despair, heard Shen Yunzhe's question.
He asked, “Does it look good?”
Wang Shiyu raised her head in a trance, and Shen Yunzhe's appearance was reflected in her tear-blurred vision. He was a very handsome man, and even the heavy winter clothes looked fashionable on him. He was sitting on the swing and swinging, with a white hairpin with a small yellow flower abruptly stuck in his black hair.
Wang Shiyu opened her eyes wide and tears fell to the ground.
"Why? Why..."
"Adapt to life with long hair in advance." Shen Yunzhe replied.
…
Codename Hope frowned slightly. He opened his eyes and looked forward, even though there was only endless darkness ahead.
"That's not a locksmith." Codename Hope said, "Shen Yunzhe is seriously affected right now."
"You didn't tell Shen Yunzhe the truth."
"Codename Locksmith is just a facade. Shen Yunzhe has countless codenames. Codename Hope is Shen Yunzhe's strongest, but besides Codename Hope, he also has many other unique abilities." The system replied casually: "Codename Locksmith is just one of them."
Codename Hope thought for a moment, "What should the original name be?"
[Codename: Erosion.]
[Possessing extreme kindness that treats everyone equally, and gradually allowing this kindness to erode and infect the spiritual ability.]
He will not be controlled by the game field, because nothing is more likely to spread than his kindness.
