"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan opened their eyes at the same time. Only they were left in the bedroom; Li Qianxia was gone.
"There shouldn't be any danger, don't worry," Yang Qinglan reassured Li Changzhou.
“I know.” Li Changzhou closed his eyes.
In the studio, Li Qianxia repeatedly stated that she had no interest in women, nor in being turned gay, and Xiaoyue reluctantly let her off this time.
"Alright, since she's unwilling, we won't force her into prostitution this time. Next is the formal interview... Hmm, this is so troublesome." Xiaoyue struggled for a while, but still couldn't get rid of the velvet worm's glue.
She snapped her fingers, and the glue disappeared.
“I already told you,” she said, straightening her disheveled clothes, “you have to wait until I take my clothes off before you spray me, I really can’t stand it.”
Li Qianxia: "......"
"By the way," Xiaoyue asked as she retied her scarf, "what is your name, Miss?"
"Li... Mosquito."
“Miss Li,” Xiaoyue looked her up and down, “your legs are so shapely, healthy and beautiful. May I touch them?”
"Thank you, Xiaoyue, your legs are very fit too." Li Qianxia moved a little further away from her, but it seemed the studio was small, so she didn't leave the screen.
Seeing her rabbit-like behavior, Xiaoyue covered her mouth with her hand and laughed three times in an affected "ho ho ho".
"Alright, alright, enough with the romance, many players are already complaining in their hearts."
Xiaoyue instantly became serious, and in the voice and manner of a female announcer, she said to Li Qianxia, "Ms. Li, there are a few questions that I need you to answer."
Li Qianxia nodded without saying a word.
Facing the camera, Xiaoyue said, "In this unprecedented upheaval, social systems, economic structures, customs, and ideologies have all been shaken and impacted..."
She turned to Li Qianxia: "What are your thoughts on this, Miss Li?"
"......No."
"So do you think it's better to have this change, or better not to have it?"
"...I never thought about it."
"It seems Ms. Li is quite cautious." Xiaoyue smiled at the camera like Dong Qing, then asked Li Qianxia, "I haven't seen Ms. Li on the subway yet, which means Ms. Li is still on the bus. How do you feel about life on the bus? Is it tiring? Do you have any opinions?"
"......"
Xiaoyue waited for a while, but Li Qianxia still didn't speak.
"Alright, since Ms. Li doesn't want to be interviewed, let's begin the formal program. Please look at the big screen."
The camera zooms out to the bottom right corner of Li Qianxia and Xiaoyue's screen, and the main screen is replaced with a PowerPoint presentation.

"By the way," Xiaoyue still spoke in Dong Qing's tone, with a slightly smiling friendliness, "I made this PPT myself. If it's not good, please don't laugh at me."
"Next, we will disclose some information to three thousand players."
With a smile, Xiaoyue asked Li Qianxia in suspense, "Miss Li, guess what kind of news there will be?"
"...I can't guess."
"From a contestant's perspective, what kind of information do you want?" Xiaoyue asked again.
"......rule."
"The rules have already been explained, but if Miss Li wants to know, I'll repeat them again. Players in front of the identity cards, please listen carefully as well."
"In Prague, three thousand players can do whatever they want. The game doesn't require players to plunder points. When only 500 players remain in Prague—of course, all the original players in Prague will be driven away—the game ends."
Li Qianxia had calmed down from the initial panic of arriving at the strange studio.
She carefully considered what Xiaoyue had said, and for the first time took the initiative to speak:
"If these three thousand players don't kill each other, will they live in Prague forever?"
"Yes," Xiaoyue replied with a smile.
Many players' hearts pounded wildly at this answer.
Players who weren't chosen felt a mix of relief and regret; those who were chosen felt a mixture of fear and anticipation.
Li Qianxia was also thinking excitedly. Prague was a foreign land, but as long as she could survive, she would be willing to live in any remote and impoverished place, let alone a tourist city.
But has it really been done?
Can humans and animals coexist peacefully? What about within humanity itself? What about white cards and black cards?
"It seems everyone has been thinking a lot, but now is not the time for reflection. Miss Li, what other information would you like to know?" Xiaoyue's voice brought everyone back to their senses.
Li Qianxia became a little bolder and asked, "What about the supplies in Prague? Does the fact that they are not affected by external interference mean that supplies cannot get in either?"
"The game will provide supplies to ensure that everything in the city remains the same as before."
Anything that is too perfect is likely to arouse suspicion.
"Is the game really that kind?" Li Qianxia asked, voicing the doubts of most people.
"You've misunderstood the game."
Xiaoyue suddenly switched to a curved female voice.
"In the first five mass extinctions, the game did not intentionally try to eliminate any species or destroy any place. Whether the dinosaurs could survive was entirely their own problem, and the game did not care."
"It just lost a meteorite, which contained the seed of wisdom. About 4 million years later, a group of monkeys found the seed, and they were the ancestors of humankind, winning the game."
"So whatever happens in Prague, the game doesn't care, everyone can rest assured."
Li Qianxia's breathing was hot. Now that there were sufficient supplies, the possibility of everyone getting along peacefully was greater.
