Chapter 333: Inhuman (141) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
No one answered Xiao Tang's incredible question for the time being. Everyone except her was watching the comments in their own live broadcast room.
Bai Jinshu suspected that the live broadcast was actually going on normally when he was in the [Mirage]. However, in his remaining fragmentary memories, he had no memory of checking the live broadcast or flipping through the comments. He could only attribute it to when he was in the [Mirage]. In order to prevent them from discovering the problem, the live broadcast panel was temporarily hidden from everyone.
The situation of not being able to see the live broadcast room and barrage continued until they got on Yuan Shanming's boat.
After coming out of the [Mirage], the live broadcast panel and barrage that were previously invisible in that building returned to normal. Bai Jinshu was able to recognize that these two people were not newcomers just now because someone in the live broadcast room volunteered to go and see what was going on on the other side.
When this was said, many people came back, but after a few minutes, everyone came back one after another, and no one could find the live broadcast room on the other side.
[Are these two people new? ]
[Has anyone found the live broadcast room? ]
[No, the location of the No Man's Land has always been very vague. Sometimes the anchor gets close to other surrounding areas and will be assigned to other areas, which makes it difficult to find them.]
[This place is still far from the edge of the no-man's land, and we can't locate anywhere else.]
[Anchor, these two people don't seem to be newcomers? ]
[Have you met an aboriginal? ]
[Where did the indigenous people in the no-man's land come from? 】
【Guess why the No Man's Land is called the No Man's Land. 】
[So how did these two people who were neither natives nor newcomers appear? ]
[How do I know? Maybe it's just a weird story of a newbie trying to trick people? ]
As soon as this sentence flashed across the barrage, Xiao Tang obviously suspected this.
"Are these two ghost stories lying in wait for us?" She whispered softly. She squatted down with a bit of suspicion and lifted up the girl's chin to look at her face, and then observed her exposed skin. "They don't look like it... They look like people, how can they be ghost stories?"
"What are you doing!" The girl glared at her fiercely, paused, and cursed with a stuttering tone, "Are you crazy? You... why are you looking at me?"
"To see if you are human," Xiao Tang said calmly, "What if you have eighty tentacles hidden under your ordinary appearance and you are waiting for me to let down my guard and kill me, or drag me into your copy to occupy my exploration position? Then I will be in trouble..."
Yuan Shanming was obviously a little worried about this, and whispered, "Xiao Tang, these two people are from unknown places, why don't you stay away from them first?"
"No need—" Xiao Tang raised his voice and replied, "I just confirmed it, it's not a ghost story or a dead ghost."
This girl is indeed a living person.
Warm body temperature, a beating heart, normal skin without scales or other patterns. Even if they were really undead or pretending to be from a ghost story, she didn't make a move even though she was so close to them. She probably didn't intend to drag them into the ghost story from the beginning.
"Dead spirits and ghost stories?" The girl was stunned for a moment, "What is that?"
"Ah?" Xiao Tang lowered his head in surprise, "You don't know?"
"Should I know?" the girl replied fiercely, seeming to feel that this was not impressive, and added, "I was just passing by, and it was you who came up and grabbed us. We were planning to hide behind a tree to avoid you!"
Xiao Tang frowned and looked at the other person next to him.
The man's face was also filled with pure anger, and a little confusion about the unfamiliar words in her previous words.
Strange...
She thought quickly in her mind that if these two people were not pretending, it would be very strange for them to appear here.
In an area without any human habitation, two young boys and girls appeared. They were wearing industrial clothing, had no wilderness survival equipment, and looked to be at least sixteen or seventeen years old.
These two people knew nothing about the undead and ghosts, and they didn't seem to know the unspoken rule that if two teams met on a narrow road in the No Man's Land, they would definitely fight. And the one in the live broadcast room was not a newcomer from the investment bank.
It can't be that he really appeared in the no-man's land for no reason, right?
They walked from the subway for several hours and should still be in the center of the no-man's land. If these two people were not newcomers or team leaders, they would not be able to use the subway in the Novice Village. There were no means of transportation around, so they could only walk into the no-man's land.
She didn't know how long it would take to walk from the edge of the no-man's land to the central area, but it was definitely more than a day or two. After such a long journey and covering such a long distance, how could these two people still be dressed like this?
Could it really have fallen from the sky?
For the first time, Xiao Tang began to doubt his life.
When she was in doubt, she asked Er Si. She immediately looked up and said, "Er Si?"
Bai Jinshu stood there, his expression looking unclear.
"Where are you two from?" He held a torch, walked directly to Xiao Tang's side, squatted down and looked at the two men.
"What do you mean?" the boy shouted in a timid tone, "You want to bully us by relying on your numbers?"
"If we wanted to bully you, you wouldn't be able to yell at me like this now," Bai Jinshu looked over, "This is an uninhabited area, no one lives here, no humans, millions of square kilometers of grassland and woodland, wandering dead spirits and ghosts everywhere, only the team leaders and newcomers who come here to complete the ghost stories will enter here, you two are neither newcomers nor team leaders, you showed up in the evening on our team's route, isn't that suspicious enough?"
"It's good enough that we didn't cripple you right away." He said calmly.
Perhaps this attitude, which was completely different from Xiao Tang's, frightened the boy. He stared at Bai Jinshu for several seconds before he stammered, "I...we don't know."
"You don't know what?" Bai Jinshu said patiently, "You don't know that this is our route, or you don't know where this is. Or you want to say that you don't know about undead and ghosts?"
The boy's surprised and stunned expression didn't look fake.
"I... I don't know anything." He moved his lips a few times and finally uttered these four words.
The girl was more aggressive than him. She pushed him back to protect him and said fiercely, "I don't know what's wrong? Can't we two be unaware of this? Is this common sense that everyone needs to know?"
"Indeed," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows, "This is not normal. Do you know what this place is? Even two or three-year-old children in this violent city of pure humans know what undead spirits and ghosts are. If you two didn't know, there's no way you could have lived this long."
According to his observation, the attitude of the undead and ghosts towards humans is not very good. In the City of the Dead, they are neutral during the day and hostile at night. If these two people were completely unaware of the undead and ghosts, how could they have lived to this age?
"Well..." The boy hesitated for a long time, and finally gently pulled the sleeve of the girl in front of him, "We two... really don't know."
"We have no memory of what happened before," he said softly.
"Why are you telling them this? You..." The girl glared and turned around to curse, but was suddenly interrupted by the other party's voice.
"We definitely can't get out by ourselves!" the boy pleaded, "They seem to know something, so why don't we ask them!"
“You…you,” the girl wanted to curse angrily, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything. She could only let out a long sigh and rolled her eyes. “Alright, alright, alright, alright, he’s said it and I’ve said it too. We two just don’t know. We don’t even know where this place is or why we’re here. We don’t know what the new team leader, the undead ghosts, or anything else you’re talking about are!”
"You've messed with the right person because I can't retaliate against you! You can't get any information from me!" She said in an unhappy tone, "Are you satisfied?"
"Hmm..." Bai Jinshu touched his chin and said in a strange tone, "That's not necessarily true."
Isn’t the appearance of these two people here a very clear message?
If what they said was true, then two natives who knew nothing about the Novice Village appeared deep in the uninhabited no-man's land.
"Brother Er?" Huang Mao came up and looked at the two men. "What should we do now? Let them go?"
These two people don't seem to have anything to do with this place, so why don't we let them go?
"If we let these two go, they won't live long," Xiao Tang whispered. Seeing the fierce look in the girl's eyes, she curled her lips and said, "Why are you glaring at me? Didn't you hear what Ersi said just now? This place is several million square meters. It will take you several months to get out if you rely on your legs. You two have no equipment, no food, and no skills. You will die here sooner or later."
Although her words were unpleasant to hear, they were indeed the truth.
The girl was not indifferent to good and bad. After hearing this, she lowered her eyes, and her tone was vaguely confused and pitiful: "It's not my intention to come here. I don't know why I am here."
Several team members and Yuan Shanming behind him also came over.
Now it is pitch black all around, the temperature is gradually dropping, and the various tiny animal calls around are increasing. After night falls, many wild animals in the uninhabited area begin to move, and the undead and ghosts are also mixed in.
If these two people who seemed to know nothing about this place just left like this, they would probably die here tomorrow, not to mention a few months.
"Let's set up camp here first," Yuan Shanming glanced at the time and observed the surroundings. "It's not safe to go forward in this weather. Let's set up a few tents together and rest for a night first."
Before he could finish his words, a loud grunt was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. The girl they were staring at dodged their gazes awkwardly for a few times, then stiffened her neck and said, "What's wrong? I haven't eaten since morning, and you don't allow my stomach to growl?"
"Alright," Xiao Tang got up from the ground, fished out a bag of biscuits from his luggage and threw it over, "Fill your stomachs first, be careful if there's an ambush by wild beasts tonight, you two won't have the strength to run."
The people behind him had already started setting up the tents. Now that things had come to this, no matter how stupid these two were, there was no way they could run away. Xiao Tang simply turned around and went to help set up the tents.
"Hey, Ersi," she lowered her voice and moved closer to Bai Jinshu, "What do you think is going on with these two people?"
"There is a problem," Bai Jinshu answered quickly, "but I can't think of any problem right now."
"I think there's something wrong too..." Xiao Tang muttered, "Do you think these two people, coming from the direction we're targeting, were made into this state by that S ghost story?"
"It's possible." Bai Jinshu nodded.
"So these two people...are they newcomers or team leaders who lost their live broadcast room, or are they NPCs who escaped from the ghost story?" Xiao Tang scratched his chin. "I think their amnesia is true. Could it be that this ghost story is like [Mirage] and can erase people's memories? That's too harsh, isn't it? These two people don't remember anything about the dead and ghosts. They have become idiots!"
"I don't know," Bai Jinshu said after thinking for a while as he hammered nails into the bottom of the tent to secure it. "But these two people are indeed not normal. Let them go to the tent in the middle tonight and take turns to keep watch over them. I feel that the S ghost story is probably related to them. Otherwise, how could someone appear here for no reason?"
"I think so too," Xiao Tang looked at the tent that had been set up in front of him and scanned the surrounding area with a flashlight, "Is there any wild animal coming here at night? How about we light a fire around the tent?"
"The fire will attract the dead," Yuan Shanming came over, and after making sure the tent was set up, he whispered to Bai Jinshu, "I think those two people may be related to the ghost story we are going to."
"That's what I thought, too." Bai Jinshu stood up from the ground and clapped his hands. "Let's ask them to take us to the direction they came from tomorrow morning."
Regardless of whether they are related to the S ghost story, the direction they appear in is definitely abnormal.
Tomorrow's affairs were arranged like this. Two natives who appeared here inexplicably were not sure whether they were pretending or real. When Xiao Tang asked them what their names were, the two of them couldn't even remember their names.
Although the roars of wild beasts were frequent around, fortunately nothing happened that night. At dawn the next morning, Bai Jinshu walked out of the tent and saw the two aboriginal girls standing outside and talking to Guan Hongyan.
"Er Si?" Guan Hongyan saw him and waved her hand and said to him, "Xiao Tang has gone over there to fetch water. If you get up, please collect your things."
"Are you in such a hurry?" The girl curled her lips and looked over.
"Did you tell her that we are going to the place where they woke up today?" Bai Jinshu looked at Guan Hongyan.
"What else can we do?" the girl crossed her arms. "We can't beat you. We don't have equipment or resources and we can't survive here. What else can we do if we don't follow you?"
"I told you," Guan Hongyan shrugged, "Xiao Tang had a quarrel with this girl when he got up this morning. Didn't you hear it?"
After all, they were in the wrong in this matter. This was an unexpected disaster for these two people, but they could not give up this clue.
Bai Jinshu rubbed his forehead, vaguely remembering that he did hear a commotion outside the tent before dawn: "What about adults and non-adults?"
"Ah... yes," Guan Hongyan also rubbed her head, "When Xiao Tang was looking for breakfast this morning, she saw two packs of milk she brought from N Port yesterday in her bag, so she threw them to the girl, saying that children need to drink more milk to grow taller, and the two of them started arguing."
"I'm an adult!" the girl emphasized angrily.
Bai Jinshu looked at her strangely and said, "You have forgotten everything, haven't you? You have even forgotten your name, and you can still remember your age?"
"That's the weird part," Guan Hongyan spread her hands. "She really doesn't remember much, but I talked to her this morning, and it seems like 'coming of age' is something extremely important to her, and it takes priority over everything else, even over her name."
"She had almost no idea about the Novice Village. She had no idea about the undead ghosts, the new team leader, etc. However, she remembered some common sense very clearly. It felt like she had lost all her memories and appeared in the subway like us."
Bai Jinshu nodded thoughtfully.
Guan Hongyan meant that "adulthood" might be related to some important content of this strange story, and the status of these two people is very likely that they are not the natives here, but amnesiac newcomers who have neither a live broadcast room nor know anything about the Novice Village.
But if they are really newcomers, how did they lose their live broadcast room and come here?
Bai Jinshu narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the two people for a while.
It seemed that this girl did not get along with Xiao Tang. After Xiao Tang came back from fetching water, he quarreled with her for a few words. Finally, after packing up their things, the group headed back in the direction the two people came from.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or they really met.
The direction in which the two amnesiac aborigines appeared yesterday was exactly the same as the direction Shi Pang pointed.
The deserted area during the day returned to its desolate state with no one around. It was ok to walk in groups on such a plain, but if you walked alone, you would inevitably feel panic and loneliness as there was no one around.
After Bai Jinshu cleared the way, he gave his position to Huangmao who was following behind him and walked towards Yuan Shanming.
Yuan Shanming has rarely watched the live broadcast room since entering the No Man's Land. According to him, most of his viewers are regular viewers of the City of the Dead. After he left the City of the Dead, many of his regular viewers went to other people's live broadcast rooms.
The audiences in each area of the Novice Village have strong preferences and are divided by region. Although Yuan Shanming is considered to be one of the more famous and professional leaders, he is only within the scope of S City.
Outside of S City, not many people know him, and he may not even be as popular as Bai Jinshu, who has a sign that says "Welcome" on his body.
"Come to think of it," Yuan Shanming looked at Bai Jinshu thoughtfully, "your [Welcome] seems to be a little different from what I heard."
According to legend, this BUFF will become popular in the later stages. When the affinity is too high, even animals, except for the undead, will unconsciously approach it.
But along the way, let alone animals, they didn't see any living creatures except those two people.
"The no-man's land is too big," Bai Jinshu replied casually, "It's hard to encounter wild animals here, let alone meet people."
As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow-haired guy in the front suddenly shouted, "Damn it!"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Tang looked over quickly.
Bai Jinshu also looked up.
Just in front of their team, a group of figures seemed to appear vaguely.
They met the other team!
Unfortunately, this time it really was a team.
"There is someone in front!" Huangmao didn't need to say anything.
As soon as these words fell, the figure in front rushed towards them.
"Damn it," Xiao Tang cursed in a low voice, "Just rush up and fight? Without even asking a single question?"
"I think this is the city of violence!" She said this with gritted teeth, and was forced to fight with the first person who rushed over.
Bai Jinshu had no choice but to increase the synchronization rate a little and use Cen Bingqi to meet him.
The good news is that the number of people on the opposite side is slightly smaller than theirs, a total of six people.
The bad news is that the only ones who can fight here are himself, Guan Hongyan and Xiao Tang.
Huai Jiamu...don't even think about it.
If the ghost story takes action, these newcomers on the opposite side will be useless.
And perhaps there are some inexplicable restrictions after becoming a ghost story. For so long, every time Huai Jiamu took action, it was against a ghost story, not against a newcomer.
As a weirdo who left the spawning area without permission, it seemed that his presence in the eyes of others was intentionally suppressed to the lowest level. Just like now, when five people from the opposite side rushed up to fight, all of them subconsciously ignored each other.
Yuan Shanming didn't seem to want to fight with the other teams. In between their fights, he kept trying to get the other team to stop: "We are a team from Port N, not from Area W. We haven't encountered any ghost stories before coming here, and we haven't snatched any of your ghost stories!"
"Stop shouting," Yuan Shanming shouted several times but these people didn't stop. Xiao Tang curled his lips, dodged the whip from the opposite side, and continued to entangle them, saying while beating them, "Brother Yuan, can't you see? These people don't believe what you say at all! The team in this damn place has a strong sense of territory like a dog guarding its food! If they don't surrender, we can't talk! Normally!"
She beat him and scolded him: "In our place, dogs that guard their food must be sent to dog trainers for education. How could no one send you there in the first place? What a dereliction of duty!"
This mouth is real...
Bai Jinshu sighed in his heart. After these words came out, even if the other party wanted to reconcile, he couldn't save face.
If they reconcile, doesn't that mean they admit that they are dogs and they are dog trainers?
As expected, the opponent fought even more fiercely afterwards.
"Stop fighting!" Huangmao shouted at this time, "There seems to be something ahead."
The more they hit, the more off the target they were, and they didn't even know where they were hitting.
Bai Jinshu looked up and didn't know whether it was a dead spirit or a ghost in front of them. Just to the side of their direction, there seemed to be something triangular.
"Want to divert attention? No way!" A man in off-road clothing from the opposite team replied, "You are so mean. Didn't you brush your teeth this morning? Although the conditions in the no-man's land are not good, you can't be so unhygienic, right?"
Guan Hongyan was stunned. She was about to look at that "thing", but suddenly her gaze turned and looked over there.
At this moment, the attack suddenly intensified, and for a moment no one had the time to pay attention to what Huangmao was saying.
"No, there really is something!" After a few minutes, Xiao Tang looked back and shuddered, "Stop hitting, stop hitting, that's a building!"
Buildings in no man's land?
What's going on?
Bai Jinshu was startled and turned around to look.
Just now, the triangular object that was still in the distance had become clearer as they moved.
It turned out to be a real building.
It's a church.
The human church in the no-man's land.
