17 Cave 01 ‖ See you in the next game

Yan Shuang said in surprise: "Wait...disappear like this?"

Jing Ning replied calmly, "What did you expect? The game will design death scenes based on real-life situations. If you are killed in the game, it will also seem logical that you will die in real life, just as you saw."

Yan Shuang was silent for a moment, then asked, "...Then why did you say at the beginning that this was your first time in the game?"

Jing Ning smiled slightly and explained, "When people suddenly arrive in an unfamiliar environment, they tend to feel uneasy and fearful. In such situations, they are more willing to trust people who have had the same experience as themselves. If I told you at the beginning that I was familiar with this game, you might doubt or distrust my words. On the contrary, if I said that this was my first time entering the game, you would be more likely to believe everything I said. This is the weakness of human nature, isn't it?"

That's right, Yan Shuang felt that Jing Ning was right. If someone came up and told her that she had entered the game, Yan Shuang would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word.

"Get ready, see you in the next game." Jing Ning said, "The difficulty of the game will increase based on the number of times you pass it. The next game may be more difficult than the previous one. But as long as we find the clues, everything will be fine."

Yan Shuang made a bitter face: "I think the last game was quite difficult!"

Jing Ning: "You'll get used to it slowly."

Yan Shuang's inner thoughts: Groundhog screams, I can't get used to it! Is this something I'm used to? This is a matter of life and death for me!

"How about I bring two knives next time I enter the game, at least I can refute it if I encounter that situation." Yan Shuang said.

As soon as Yan Shuang had an idea in her mind, Jing Ning ruthlessly trampled it: "I advise you not to waste your energy, it's useless."

Yan Shuang: "Have you brought it before?"

Jing Ning: "I did bring it. The knife turned into a piece of scrap metal as soon as I brought it in."

Yan Shuang suddenly didn't know what else to say. The next time they met, it would be another life-and-death struggle.

"Well, see you at the next game." After saying that, Yan Shuang hung up the phone.

Yan Shuang suddenly realized a very serious problem, but she had forgotten to ask Jing Ning. If she resigned, the game would be installed on the company computer, and she couldn't take the computer with her! Was she locked in with the company for the rest of her life? How vicious!

For a moment he began to think that this was a trick played by the company's leaders.

Work hard and don't get fired. If you get fired, you'll die because you can't enter the game. You won't even be able to enjoy your last moments.

I stayed at home for two days over the weekend, and on Monday, Yan Shuang went to work in a lifeless state.

Ye Jing'an ran mysteriously in front of Yan Shuang early in the morning, "Hurry, help me choose one."

Ye Jingan's fingers slid quickly across the phone screen.

Yan Shuang yawned: "What is this?"

"The ring." Ye Jing'an smiled mysteriously, "I'm going to propose, buddy, get ready to drink the wedding wine."

Yan Shuang: "You can do it, kid!"

"Now is the most important first step. Help me choose. These ones look similar to me." Ye Jing'an said.

Yan Shuang scrolled through the pictures. "I'm not married either, but I think the designs of these are pretty good. I think they're all good. The most important thing is the thought behind it."

"You're right, I'm not exaggerating, but these are all designed by the most famous private designers I've managed to find. How could they not look good?" Ye Jing'an said proudly. "See that J? The signature of a great designer is just so charming, simple and unpretentious."

Yan Shuang: "You've spent a fortune. As far as I know, these things are not cheap."

"Of course, the charges are simple and crude." Ye Jing'an shouted, covering his face.

Yan Shuang was happy from the bottom of her heart, feeling like her eldest daughter had finally grown up and was about to get married.

"What about you?" Ye Jing'an asked.

"What's wrong with me?" Yan Shuang was puzzled.

Ye Jingan: "Look, I'm getting ready to get married. How long will it take for you to find a girlfriend?"

"Why rush? It will happen naturally when the time comes. Besides, I'm alone and free now, how nice." Yan Shuang said.

Ye Jing'an shook his head and said helplessly, "You are always so carefree. But having said that, when you find the right person, you will understand my feelings." Ye Jing'an glanced around and lowered his voice, "Who do you like? If you are too embarrassed to tell me, I will help you."

Yan Shuang also raised her head and looked around, finally her gaze fell on Ye Jingan's face.

Ye Jingan immediately put his hands on his chest and said, "No, no, I have a girlfriend. We are not suitable."

Yan Shuang rolled her eyes silently.

Ten days later, Yan Shuang sat in front of the computer nervously, always paying attention to the changes in the game.

A whole morning passed and the game hadn't changed at all, except that the countdown below had turned to 0.

Nearing seven o'clock in the evening, the game suddenly changed, from the previous dark red cover to yellow-gray.

But in a moment, a huge suction force came over her. Yan Shuang opened her eyes wide to see the content on the game cover clearly, and in the blink of an eye she entered the game.

This was the second time Yan Shuang saw such a scene. Although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster.

Because the light was too bright, Yan Shuang squinted her eyes and took a while to accept the dazzling sunlight.

Yan Shuang looked around. The surroundings were surrounded by mountains and water, a completely different style from the previous game. She stood in the sun, with a high mountain not far away.

"This way." Xu Yaoyu called out.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw seven or eight people standing at the entrance of a cave on the mountain. In addition to the four people from the previous game, there was another one I knew.

The other newcomers were either curious, frustrated or terrified, and were loudly questioning Lin Haichen about what he was doing.

Yan Shuang walked over, not paying attention to anyone else. She just nodded to Jing Ning, then walked up to an old man and called out with a sad face, "Old Man Li?"

The person I knew was the old man Li next door.

Yan Shuang was trembling all over, in disbelief. How could an old man like Li, who was nearly seventy years old, survive in this game where people were killed without blinking an eye?

"Why are you here?" Yan Shuang asked in a trembling voice.

When Old Man Li saw Yan Shuang, a kind smile appeared on his face, and his tone was very gentle: "I was playing chess with Uncle Zhang downstairs. Later, when I was about to go home after the game, he suddenly said that his son bought him some good tea, and he insisted that I go to his house and sit for a while, so that we can have some tea together before going back."

"When I got to his house, he said he was going to boil some water, so I was sitting in front of the computer watching TV. I don't know how I ended up here."

"But...but here..." Yan Shuang was really anxious. He didn't want Old Man Li to get hurt here, and he didn't want him to have any accidents.
