The first time Bai Tao woke up after her death, she found herself thrown into a world of uncanny rules by the world's consciousness, becoming an ordinary human.
Her neighbor is a talking ...
Chapter 019 Biological Laboratory (VII)
Upon learning that Bai Tao had found a piece of paper that looked like it had the rules written on it, Luo Hong and Qian Qian became excited.
The three players split into three groups and search for the note at the same time.
Qianqian paused, then touched something. She took it out and saw that she had won the prize. It was the same note.
"Come here quickly, I found the note?"
Turning around with the note in hand, her voice changed from excitement to fear: "? Bai Tao? Bai Tao? Luo Hong, Bai Tao is gone!"
The three were just talking, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Tao disappeared.
Qianqian and Luo Hong looked at each other and both saw fear in it.
As we all know, if the rules say nothing, then that thing will definitely appear.
For example, there are non-existent staff, gym equipment that cannot speak, and there is no observation area in the Mouse Fitness Plaza!
A sign with the words "Observation Area" appeared and landed precisely at Bai Tao's feet.
Bai Tao, whose most attention was on the NPC at the time, was accidentally tricked and stepped on it, so he was teleported to the observation area.
She has been scammed, how many times has this happened?!
Next time, we should break the legs of these Dream City monsters or props that try to scam us!
There is a telephone in front and a signboard in the back. The people in Dream City are really simple and honest.
[If you accidentally walk into the observation room, please close your eyes and shout "I am in the Mouse Fitness Square" three times, and you will return to the square. ]
That's what the rules say, but before leaving, Bai Tao plans to take a look at the observation area.
Although it is called an observation area, it is more like a food processing factory.
A quick glance was enough for Bai Tao to take in the general situation of the observation area.
There were blood and flesh residues all over the ground, and layer upon layer of bloodstains that had turned black due to oxidation by the air.
The blood dripping from the ceiling brought strange whispers.
A wet and sticky sound came from a strange-looking machine in the middle, accompanied by the echo of chewing and the roar of the machine.
What went in were the remains of unknown creatures, and what came out were the breakfast provided to the players and all the humans in the glass house in the morning - those uniformly packaged bread and milk.
Although she didn't have breakfast, Bai Tao still felt nauseous.
After just one glance, Bai Tao's eyes began to sting. Feeling painful, Bai Tao immediately closed her eyes, but she could still clearly see everything in the observation area.
She saw six pairs of eyes of the unknown machines staring at her, staring at her arms, thighs and chest, as if thinking about where to start.
The monster said: "Hehe, new ingredients have arrived."
The strange whispers swirled around Bai Tao's ears, hehe, food, food, so miserable and sad, it was the wailing of countless victims.
Her ears began to hurt, too, and then her head and then her soul.
The pain of being torn apart tortured Bai Tao, and she was whipped by the wind from hell.
As long as you walk into that huge mouth as tall as a person, the pain will disappear.
That's what the wind whispered to her.
"I'm at the Little White Mouse Fitness Plaza, I'm at the Little White Mouse Fitness Plaza..."
Enduring the pain and speaking in a voice that was almost a whisper, after repeating this three times, Bai Tao's figure disappeared from the observation area.
Bai Tao returned to the square, but it wasn't really a return to the Little White Mouse Fitness Square.
A huge rest area sign is hung on the ceiling, and the rest area is also part of the Little White Mouse Fitness Plaza.
At this moment, Bai Tao suddenly understood why she couldn't find any clues about the rest area after searching the entire square.
To enter the rest area, you must pass through the observation area.
——The observation area that was almost like a slaughterhouse.
She held her breath, made no sound, and carefully observed the rest area.
The lounge area was a mess, with a chair broken in two, a sofa overturned, signs of a fight, and the smell of blood.
Someone has been here before. The rest area is not big, and there are only a few places where people can hide.
Bai Tao heard voices, it was someone, she lowered her steps and approached the sofa carefully.
Behind the sofa, two men, an old man and a young man, were sitting and lying on the ground.
The three of them looked at each other.
The old man spoke first: "Bai Tao, you are here too?"
The old man and the young man were exactly Qingnian and Xiao Zhou who had disappeared on the bench press rack before.
Bai Tao: "You? How did you become like this when you were young?"
The young man was originally a middle-aged man, but now his hair is gray and his beard is thick. Even if he claims that he is in his seventies this year, some people will believe him.
On the other side, Xiao Zhou's age had not changed, but he also looked miserable, with a bruised face and nose, and limp limbs. He lay powerlessly on the ground.
"It's a long story." The young man sighed and shook his head, then recounted their experiences.
Like Bai Tao, they were led into the observation area by the sign. After escaping death with great difficulty, they came to the rest area, only to find that they could not get out.
The two are veteran players and have memorized the rules of the Little White Mouse Fitness Plaza early on.
I turned the rest area upside down but couldn't find a way out.
As it was getting closer to 12 o'clock, Qingnian and Xiao Zhou had to give up looking for a way out and instead prepared to exercise in the rest area.
The rules clearly state that players can only use four pieces of fitness equipment for free.
The point is not usage, but free.
The changes in them are the price of using the rest area equipment.
The youth was taken away from the young man, and Xiao Zhou's tendons were cut, leaving him paralyzed on the ground.
The young man knocked on the floor and said to Xiao Zhou, "You are still young, are you willing to die like this? Show some energy and think about your relatives who are waiting for you outside."
Xiao Zhou's eyes were filled with despair and he was now waiting to die.
Hearing this, he raised his eyelids: "I am an orphan."
"Then think about the object."
“No one.”
young:"……"
It’s not that he has no words to say, he’s just afraid that the child will become even more depressed after he finishes speaking.
The young man spread his hands and said, "Look, we are old and disabled now. We can't help you at all. You don't need to worry about us."
He turned his head, looked as if he had given up, and hid in the corner like an emo.
Baitao: "..."
If you really want to die, why would you say so much?
She finally realized that the old man and the young were acting for her.
If you don't show the benefits, the two won't cooperate.
Bai Tao raised the corner of her mouth and told the story of what happened in the fitness square, focusing on the part about turning into a mouse.
When Xiao Zhou heard the part about Luo Jiang's flesh and blood being restored, his eyes suddenly lit up and he subconsciously looked towards the young man.
Bai Tao lowered her eyes and allowed the two men to exchange glances. Her limbs were intact, so she was not the one who should be anxious.
"I didn't expect so many things to happen there. I gained very little here. I only found a piece of paper that was relatively valuable."
Bai Tao raised her head and smiled: "That's really a coincidence, I also found a note, let's check it out?"
The young man agreed: "Okay, the copy is really insidious."
He didn't move his hands, but just kept sighing as he looked at Xiao Zhou's hands and feet.
Bai Tao took out the flesh and blood regeneration reagent, and Nian Qing took out the note.
The two pieces of paper fit together seamlessly.
Bai Tao's note: 1. Your race is human, belonging to the standard humanoid family. Please do not mistake yourself for another species.
Young note: 2. The biological laboratory is a neutral unit. When within the laboratory territory, it is prohibited to use any means to attack others.
There is one rule on each piece of paper.
After seeing the young man’s note, Bai Tao understood why Shiyi and Luo Jiang turned into mice.
Zhao Xiaodong was assimilated because he violated the second rule.
Shiyi and Luo Jiang killed three humans in the copy and turned into mice. Zhao Xiaodong indirectly killed the player Fu Nan and became a member of the copy.
The punishment varies depending on the degree of violation of the rules.
The reason why Qingnian and Xiao Zhou looked like this was also related to the fact that they kidnapped Zhao Xiaodong.
Apparently they had forgotten about Zhao Xiaodong and regarded the accident as bad luck.
The blood and flesh regeneration reagent was used up and Xiao Zhou regained his ability to move.
He stood up and jumped twice excitedly, looked at Bai Tao with gratitude, and took the initiative to reveal the situation in the rest area.
"Don't worry, I checked with the elderly. Apart from not being able to leave, there are no restrictions or rules in the rest area. It's very safe."
After thinking for a while, he added: "As long as you don't touch those equipment."
After saying that, Xiao Zhou started running and jumping in the lounge again. Anyone who has become disabled and then recovered to normal would be as excited as he was.
The younger one was much calmer. He sat there motionless, watching Bai Tao coldly as she searched for clues to escape alone.
He had completed three ghost story copies, but was still trapped in the rest area. What could Bai Tao, a kid who had just reached adulthood, do?
It’s better to take a rest and conserve your energy.
Bai Tao moved the sofa back and found the sweeping robot that had been torn into pieces in the corner.
She could see clearly that this sweeping robot was exactly the same as the robot that dismembered Fu Nan before.
Bai Tao asked: "Is this the original cleaning robot?"
Xiao Zhou touched his nose and said, "Ah, that one. I couldn't get out, so I got angry and dismantled the robot vacuum cleaner. It's really strange that the robot vacuum cleaner in the replica has a similar internal structure to the robot vacuum cleaner in the real world."
Bai Tao: “…” To be honest, Xiao Zhou is really lucky that No-Brain is still alive and well.
Bai Tao gently reminded: "Didn't you notice that all the monsters that appeared in this ghost story copy are related to machines?"
The robotic arms and sweeping robots are the fitness equipment for the staff of the fitness square, and there is also the weird food processing machine in the observation area...
Xiao Zhou's face turned pale: "Ha, aren't there still those humans..." He then fell silent. Those people were suspected to be the players who had passed the level before.
Seeing Xiao Zhou's pale face, Bai Tao decided not to tell him that it was this seemingly inconspicuous sweeping robot that dealt with Fu Nan's body.
“Can you put the sweeping machine back?”
Xiao Zhou nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I can."
Get started repairing the sweeping robot.
He looks so skilled that you can tell at a glance that his real job is related to this.
Xiao Zhou restored the sweeping robot to its original state in no time.
The vacuum cleaner robot, which had returned to its original state, stood motionless on the ground, without any sign of the brutality it had shown when it dismembered a person.
"You said that the internal structure of the replica sweeping robot is similar to that of the real world sweeping robot, so are their commands universal?"
Xiao Zhou was stunned by the question. He had never thought about this question.
He rubbed his head: "It should be about the same, right? I'm not sure."
Bai Tao found the production code and the robot number CL-34891 on the bottom of the robot vacuum cleaner.
"CL-34891, clean up the mouse fitness plaza."
The robot vacuum cleaner didn't respond. Looking at the two capital letters CL in front of it, Bai Tao changed the command: "Clean-34891, clean the Little White Mouse Fitness Plaza."
"Okay, start cleaning."
The sweeping robot moves forward slowly.
The young man, who had been careless all the time, widened his eyes, not knowing what to say. He followed Bai Tao with his eyes almost glued to the sweeping robot.
He was relieved in his heart, but Bai Tao's actions made the young man embarrassed, so he said stubbornly: "The copy is very strange, this sweeping robot will not take us back to the observation area, right?"
Xiao Zhou said, "It's better to go back to the observation area than to wait for death in the rest area."
You can go to the observation area and come back.
No one knows what will happen to them in the rest area once 12 o'clock arrives.
Xiao Zhou retorted the disappointing words, and the young man said no more.
Bai Tao took note of the young man's expression. She had met many people like him.
When they are your seniors, they are amiable and try their best to help you with anything. However, once they find out that you don't need 'adult care' or are more capable than them, they become embarrassed and start to act awkward.
Everyone is risking their lives to get through the dungeon, and Bai Tao has no intention of being a psychological mentor.
The three of them followed the sweeping robot, passed through a layer of water curtain, and returned to the Little White Mouse Fitness Plaza.
Qianqian and Luo Hong came over, especially Qianqian, who was very excited and hugged Bai Tao: "Thank God, you are okay..."
