Chapter 69

"How pitiful! The owner of the amusement park is so mean. How could he treat a girl like this?" Ji Yu followed them and said as he walked.

It's already afternoon now. They have received the brochure, which has filtered out the dangerous games. The rest can be played.

They finished exploring these places before night fell.

The playground is very afraid of the night. The night means that it is difficult to see clearly and that things hidden cannot be found. Therefore, they prefer to rest in one place at night to protect their own safety.

But along the way, Ji Yu kept repeating these words over and over again.

Zhang Xian kept looking at Ji Yu. At first he would say a few words, but later he stopped talking and let Ji Yu talk to himself.

"That girl must be very sad. She's being used like this a year after her death." Ji Yu murmured. "How pitiful."

Zhang Xian couldn't help but say, "It's not certain whether the female ghost in this playground is this girl."

"First of all, this marketing campaign was launched a year after the girl's death. It was a crooked idea by the amusement park owner to boost its sales. It's more likely that this ghost was born from this marketing campaign than from the girl herself."

"That is: a ghost born from supernatural legends."

"That's also pitiful." Ji Yu said: "She definitely doesn't want to live like this in reality."

Zhang Xian sighed and almost slapped himself.

I shouldn't have said this to Ji Yu, who was obviously not okay.

"Shen Yunzhe, what do you think?" Ji Yu looked at Shen Yunzhe expectantly.

Shen Yunzhe was silent for a moment before speaking, "This form is wrong. This female ghost shouldn't have been born in the first place, so it's right to say she's pitiful. She probably didn't want to appear like this."

"Look, Shen Yunzhe thinks what I said is right." Ji Yu said happily.

"I was wrong, you are right, I will reflect on it." Zhang Xiancai would not argue with someone who was not right.

He couldn't afford to make her even more perverse by taking it seriously, or even get killed for it.

After trying all the rides except the dangerous ones, Zhang Xian watched expressionlessly as Shen Yunzhe and Ji Yu put a plastic bag over him and took him to go rafting because the playground was too dilapidated and the equipment creaked, making people wonder if they would fall off. They put a plastic bag over him and took him to go rafting.

For some reason, he always felt that he was the only adult among the three people, the remaining one was abnormal, and the other was a child.

"This is my first time rafting." The child Shen Yunzhe looked out curiously from the boat. "Will it be fast? Will the water be cold?"

Ji Yu suddenly felt distressed, "How come you haven't even been to an amusement park? Shen Yunzhe, you have to be nicer to yourself."

Zhang Xian once again looked expressionlessly at the pool below, which had long since dried up and was now empty, and wondered if there was any need to wrap a plastic bag around this thing.

Maybe Shen Yunzhe just wanted a sense of ceremony. The three of them got off the boat wearing plastic bags. Shen Yunzhe looked down with shining eyes, even though there was no water in the pool.

It was already getting late after they climbed out, and they were sure that they had completed the last non-dangerous project. The most important thing for them now was to find a small canteen to exchange for food, and then find a place to stay for the night, preferably a small space with lights.

Because they were in a hurry to leave, they even forgot to take off the plastic bags on their bodies until they met Wen Hai and his group in the small cafeteria.

Wen Hai and the others looked at the three people in the blue plastic bags in surprise, their eyes full of confusion. Only then did Zhang Xian notice that he hadn't even taken off these things.

“What are you doing…?”

"Nothing." Zhang Xian inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility as an adult taking care of a child. He stood in front of Shen Yunzhe and the others and replied, "We'll leave once we get food and water."

So Wen Hai and the other three looked at them blankly as they left with food in blue plastic bags.

Because he was watching so intently, player Tang Feng didn't even notice the raised stone slab in front of him. He tripped and was about to fall face first when someone pulled him up.

Tang Feng looked at the place where he almost fell in horror. There was a raised rock there. If he really fell there, he would at worst get a bloody head.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"You're welcome. Just be careful when walking." Shen Yunzhe answered gently while holding a bottle of mineral water.

Tang Feng was stunned for a moment, then he slowly looked up at Shen Yunzhe.

Shen Yunzhe has a good appearance. Even though he is now wearing a blue plastic bag suit and a plastic bag hat, his gentle face makes him look extremely approachable. After making sure that he was fine, Shen Yunzhe stood up, and Zhang Xian was already calling him.

"Are you okay?" Xie Yiyun from the Wenhai team came over and kicked him. "Hey, is Wang Shiyu gone?"

"I didn't see her there, so she must be dead. After all, she was wearing that hairpin." Jing Lianzhong joined the conversation, "I think Shen Yunzhe is almost dead too. He tried to be a hero and saved someone, but in the end he didn't save anyone and even lost himself."

Wen Hai sighed, "After Shen Yunzhe dies, we will contact Zhang Xian. Zhang Xian might have some life-saving tricks that we must get."

"Um."

Tang Feng sat on the ground, his mind full of the scene just now.

Shen Yunzhe pulled him up, Shen Yunzhe smiled at him, Shen Yunzhe... They said Shen Yunzhe was going to die soon?!

"Shen Yunzhe won't die!" Tang Feng suddenly roared, "He will live, he will live forever!"

"He's such a good man, he won't die!"

The people around were stunned for a moment, and they looked at Tang Feng in surprise and weirdness.

"ah?"

"Shen Yunzhe is a good man. I've never met anyone better than him. Why should he die?" Tang Feng held his head and kept talking to himself. "If he were alive, he could help more people. This world should let people like him live. He can't die."

"I won't let him die."

Xie Yiyun and Wen Hai looked at each other, both of them with confusion in their eyes.

"Tang Feng, what's wrong with you?" Jing Lianzhong squatted down and asked him, "Didn't you call Shen Yunzhe a lunatic yesterday and say he would die here sooner or later?"

"Shut up!" Tang Feng roared, "You are the crazy ones. You always think that if others die, you can live. Shameless!"

Wen Hai signaled to Xie Yiyun with his eyes, and Xie Yiyun understood. She hit Tang Feng on the back of the neck from behind. Tang Feng twitched, closed his eyes and fainted.

"Maybe it's the playground that's causing the problem." Wen Hai said, "It's evening now, let him get some sleep. Maybe he'll be better tomorrow."

Jing Lianzhong nodded, and he carried the unconscious Tang Feng back to their temporary base.

Wen Hai stopped walking and said, "No."

"What's wrong?" Xie Yiyun asked.

"Let's get some blue plastic bags, the ones they're wearing," Wen Hai said. "Even Zhang Xian is wearing one. He's an official. Maybe these bags are some special props, or maybe the ghosts here are afraid of them. We have to wear them too."

Xie Yiyun suddenly realized, "That makes sense. I'll go find it now."

Not to mention that the people on Wenhai's side were looking for the blue plastic bag in the middle of the night. Shen Yunzhe and his friends found a new temporary place to stay overnight. Zhang Xian had to coax and deceive him to take the plastic bag off Shen Yunzhe. Ji Yu was easier to deal with. If Shen Yunzhe took off his clothes, she would follow suit.

I can’t walk around wearing this plastic bag anymore, it’s embarrassing!

After eating the bread, Zhang Xian began to analyze the media of this playground and tried to find more information from the brochure.

For example, they now only have a small premise, which is what they might encounter in this amusement park, but it is not detailed. They don’t know more now, so it is difficult for them to avoid danger accurately.

"Let's go to the 5D cinema tomorrow morning. Although it's a small place, you won't fall down and die." Zhang Xian said as he analyzed: "The female ghost will probably steal one of our tickets, and that person will go in again. Then..."

"No." Shen Yunzhe suddenly interrupted Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian looked up at Shen Yunzhe, "What?"

"The owner of the amusement park is inside." Shen Yunzhe replied: "I was taken there by a female ghost before, and I met her when I was leaving."

Zhang Xian blinked, remembering that the brochure did say that the director would appear randomly.

"Can we communicate?" Zhang Xian asked.

Shen Yunzhe thought about it and said, "Maybe."

"So, can we find out why he released this marketing campaign? Did something truly horrific happen and he's exaggerating it, or was it all a fake incident?" Zhang Xian said. "Perhaps something else happened afterwards that we don't know about."

"But it's very dangerous." Ji Yu said: "Shen Yunzhe can't do dangerous things."

Zhang Xian and Shen Yunzhe subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Ji Yu. Three seconds later, the two of them looked away and decided not to take any of Ji Yu's suggestions.

In the end, I decided to go to the 5D cinema first. The temptation to get subsequent clues was too great.

After the discussion, they started to sleep. As a girl, Ji Yu was well taken care of. She lay alone on the bench, covered with Zhang Xian's coat. As for Shen Yunzhe... he had already covered Che Qing's body.

Shen Yunzhe sat there quietly. He looked up at the sky, but there was only darkness before his eyes.

"A starless night." Shen Yunzhe murmured, "It seems there are no stars in the playground. What a pity."

"This is not reality. It is probably an unknown space. Of course, there are no real stars here." Zhang Xian was also awake. He joined in when he heard Shen Yunzhe talking.

Shen Yunzhe gazed at the night sky quietly. "But the night without stars is also beautiful. I like it very much."

"Come on, I don't like it at all. I just want to go home and have a good sleep. My bed is so comfortable and this chair is so hard." Zhang Xian leaned back in his chair. "When we go to the cinema tomorrow, keep an eye on Ji Yu. She's not acting right right now. I doubt she would hesitate to die for you."

Shen Yunzhe turned to look at him, "How scary."

"It's really scary to have someone suddenly show up and offer to die for you," Zhang Xian sighed. "It's eerie just thinking about it. We were all just casual acquaintances, and it wasn't like we were all acting heroically. This was supposed to be a death game designed to keep more people alive, and suddenly someone showed up to save you with their own life, and there were more than one."

"It's so scary and horrifying." Zhang Xian rubbed the goose bumps on his arms. "If you put me here, I'll go crazy."

"I'll be so guilty that I'll die."

Shen Yunzhe turned back and said, "Yeah, so I will stop her and won't let her do that."

Because he is Shen Yunzhe, not code name Erosion, so Shen Yunzhe will also feel guilty.

"Is it really impossible to change the isotope?" Shen Yunzhe suddenly spoke.

Zhang Xian looked at him strangely, because he didn't understand what this meant at all. After looking over, he realized that Shen Yunzhe was talking to himself again.

Zhang Xian silently kept the three words "alien" in mind and felt that this might be something similar to split personality.

Chatting with yourself to this extent can only mean you have a split personality.

Please don't talk to me in front of others. It might expose you, but you might scare people.

"Everyone thinks I'm mentally ill now. Is it really that important to be able to tell others about it?" Shen Yunzhe said unconcernedly. "I can't suppress this ability at all right now. I feel very passive. This is different from other isotopes."

[Of course it’s different. You will have many more opportunities like this in the future.]

"Then you have to give me some news."

[Codename Erosion did not die in the game field, he died in an official assassination.]

Shen Yunzhe slowly formed a question mark in his mind.

What had he just heard? Codename Erode was killed by the authorities? Huh? He wasn't killed by a ghost, but by a human?

Code Erode's ability is uncontrollable. In contrast, Code Erode itself is different from the thinking ability of normal people. Those affected will be 100% biased towards him. This is true in the game field and in reality outside the game field. The influence he unconsciously causes far exceeds his own contributions.

[The spiritual abilities that originate from the game field are incomparable to those of humans.]

So the authorities chose to eliminate him?

But this raises a question. During the heyday of Code Erode, there were more than 10,000 players who admired him. Even if the official wanted to take action, how could he die so easily?

[You are wrong, Shen Yunzhe. Your understanding of code erosion is still at its most narrow stage.]

Shen Yunzhe frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Codename Erosion possesses a benevolent attitude towards all, including himself. He takes it for granted that others can sacrifice for him, and of course, he also acknowledges that it is natural for him to sacrifice for others.

The moment the system finished speaking, Shen Yunzhe suddenly opened his eyes wide and his pupils dilated.

At that moment, he seemed to see something.

It seemed like the wind, or maybe it was noon, the sun was very strong, and you could smell the aroma of food carried on the wind. People were cooking and eating with smiles on their faces, and everyone had a bright smile on their face. They were so harmonious, almost too harmonious to be real.

You are here, I have been waiting for you here for a long time.

Why is it so peaceful? Is this so hard to understand? If everyone can die for me, I can certainly die for everyone. It's only fair.

I thought about it for a long time, and questions kept swirling in my mind. Can you tell me? Are they happy?

I understand that they are not truly happy, but since it is for their own good I can accept everything.

However, I never think that my abilities are useless, nor do I think that they cannot bring true happiness. There is nothing wrong with being kind, and honesty is beyond reproach.

I am waiting for you here to tell you that I am willing because they are not true happiness, not because I am a disaster.

Calm, tenacious, confident...

No matter how extraordinary Codename Erosion's thinking is, he is still a human being. He has his own temperament and persistence. He is more confident than anyone else. He possesses the most terrifying erosion ability in the world, but he is also the one who can stick to his original intention the most.

Shen Yunzhe pressed his temples, and the severe headache made him groan in pain.

"Shen Yunzhe?" Zhang Xian heard the voice and ran over in a hurry. He saw Shen Yunzhe falling under the chair with his forehead pressed down.

"What's wrong? Shen Yunzhe?"

[Codename erosion synchronization rate increased, 35%, 38%, 45%... 62%]

What's going on? Why did the synchronization rate suddenly increase? Did it hit the point of code erosion somewhere?

[Shen Yunzhe! Come back to your senses!]

[Emergency change to a parallel world, codename Forensic Doctor... can't change? ]

[Shen Yunzhe, don't lose consciousness! ]

Zhang Xian tried to support Shen Yunzhe, but found that Shen Yunzhe's eyes were looking straight ahead, and nothing could be seen in his black pupils. It seemed as if he was looking at something, but also as if he was looking at nothing.

"Even if it is erosion, it can also bring true happiness." Shen Yunzhe's voice was stumbling, as if it was squeezed out hoarsely from the root of the tongue.

"I am willing to do so because they are not truly blessed, not because I am a disaster."

"I'll prove it to everyone."
