Spring City Mystery 3
"These tentacle monsters are already dead. There is no danger. These people are really brave."
Nanyu said to Yan Ke: "How far are we from the next place?"
Yan Ke did not try to stay, because his sixth sense told him that if he stayed here for too long, he would really get into trouble. Those tentacles looked just like the girl he met. Combined with the experience that day, why did those people use that girl as a sacrifice? Before Yan Ke could ask anything, the girl turned into a tentacle monster on the spot.
"Let's leave here first. Apart from the players, few people will come out of the fog alive. Moreover, the current situation is too complicated. If we rush over without any clues, it will be troublesome if we encounter the same situation again."
Nan Yu said, "This is not your style. Why don't you go check the situation?"
"The official dynamic information is already very complete, and many players have become members of the official team. I am not the only survivor. I don't think I have the ability to save the world. I just want to know the purpose of this weird game and the truth."
Then, Yan Ke said, "The last thing you can bet on right now is human nature."
"Then you are a kind-hearted person in the game copy."
Yan Ke replied: "Haha, really? If I don't investigate these tentacles, will I become a cold-hearted person?"
Nanyu replied: "Are you that kind of fool?"
"A kind-hearted fool?" Yan Ke said with a smile. In fact, he was. It was unexpected that the girl suddenly turned into a tentacle monster, but Yan Ke felt unusual information from the Internet. If it was a person asking for help, he would save them because he felt they were human.
The reason he didn't go to check now was because he felt that he couldn't handle this matter. No matter how capable he was, he was fighting alone. Even though Nan Yu was by his side, Yan Ke remained vigilant even though he was tempted.
It's not that he is afraid of death, but he is afraid of dying in a confused and unclear way. In addition, Yan Ke has experienced so many things, so he will not be reckless or impulsive.
Only a teenager would lean towards the problem even if his sixth sense told him that there was a problem. It's not like he's tired of living.
Just like Nanyu said, he is too fragile. The reason why he can pass these dungeons one by one is because he is useful. He is a player and a human being. He is the best among players, but he is nothing in front of the weird boss.
Under the current situation, Yan Ke is even willing to become that chess piece. After clearing the level, the fog will disappear, and the weird boss will get the answer or freedom, and he wants to get the answer alive.
Nanyu is not a human being. This is the truth that Yan Ke has known for a long time. However, Nanyu is willing to follow Yan Ke. No matter if he is teasing or playing with her, Yan Ke accepts it. She is willing to become Nanyu's prey and chess piece. Rather than becoming a chess piece of the weird game main system, it is better to be a chess piece of Nanyu.
In the face of this apocalyptic disaster for the modern world, all human beings are nothing but ants.
Nanyu is mysterious and powerful, and can even travel freely through the fog and strange game copies. The truth that Yan Ke wants can only be found by staying with Nanyu.
As for Nanyu’s true identity, Yan Ke had never asked before and would never ask in the future. He wanted Nanyu to tell him when she truly trusted him.
This is the humble wish of Yan Ke, a human being.
As for liking someone, you can bury your feelings.
Nan Yu didn't care what Yan Ke was thinking. Humans just like to feel sad about the passing of time and have emotions that are jaw-dropping. In this strange world, strength can ignore the rules, and these inexplicable thoughts of humans are a burden.
But in the previous copy, Nanyu witnessed with his own eyes how Yan Ke passed the level not by relying on his strength but just because of his impulsiveness.
Yan Ke is more cunning than others. After all, what he is betting on is never luck, but whether Nanyu will take action.
As for those weird bosses, they have no grudge against the world that Yan Ke lives in, and their methods of dealing with players are also very different. Especially those weird bosses who want freedom, they will not take action easily. Most players will die due to the rules. They will die if they let the players win, let alone not letting the players win.
The fragility of human life has led to many strange surprises.
To the extent that players like Yan Ke are extremely precious.
The perspective from which Nanyu looks at Yan Ke is a miniature of how the weird bosses look at him.
The electric car was moving slowly, without stopping for a moment because of the strange scene in the community.
The harmonious atmosphere between the two of them blends particularly well with the quiet environment in Quancheng where only the rustling of leaves and the chirping of insects can be heard.
However, this harmonious atmosphere did not last long. Yan Ke saw a person stumbling onto the spacious road. He was not close to them, but Yan Ke, who was riding a tram, could see the person clearly. Could it be that there were still many people in Quancheng who had not evacuated?
Yan Ke frowned, the situation was very bad. According to Yan Ke's understanding, unless one became a player, the survival rate of others in the fog was infinitely close to zero.
When he entered Quancheng before, he saw many people evacuating the city in an orderly manner. Why didn't these people leave?
The authorities have long explained the dangers of fog. Even if there are many difficulties and dangers during evacuation, troops will come into the city to notify and guide the people.
When Yan Ke was about to step forward, he saw that the man's steps were a little stiff. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the man's lower body had long since turned into tentacles. His lower body was abnormally twisted, and those long tentacles were weathering at a speed visible to the naked eye due to the receding of the fog. Despite this, that man, no, that mutated monster was still struggling to find the fog with his last bit of strength.
The people who stayed in Quancheng were transformed into tentacle monsters after being invaded by the fog. Yan Ke did not stop, but his thoughts were extremely confused. All the people in the fog became like this ghostly appearance. Were they invaded by the rules of the weird game, or was it the result of the energy contained in the fog?
Yan Ke once learned from Nanyu that this world does not contain any energy, so that even someone of Nanyu's level would be restricted to become an ordinary calico cat, and could only regain humanity when the fog appeared.
The reason why Nanyu can maintain his humanity now is because of the crown ring he bribed from the strange BOSS in the previous copy. The energy emitted from that ring allows Nanyu to maintain his human state.
The human who mutated into a monster did not receive the same treatment as Nanyu. When the fog dissipated, what awaited him was the fate of perishing along with the tentacles.
"How long until we get there?"
Nan Yu's voice came from behind, and Yan Ke answered calmly, as if he hadn't seen the tentacle monster just now: "It should be soon, it's okay, we have a tram anyway, we will be there soon."
"Okay, there's nothing here, it's empty and looks even more desolate than the dungeon."
Thinking of the bustling scenes in the copy, this street is indeed empty. Coupled with the man who suddenly appeared and turned into a tentacle monster, this place looks more like a copy.
The humans in this world were so fragile that they were helpless and turned into tentacle monsters in the fog.
When the fog dissipates, there is complete death.
The pain in Yan Ke's heart was a sigh that innocent humans were implicated, and the weird game itself was the killer.
Even if all the people in this world died in the weird game, it would still not fill up the weird game.
"Yan Ke, what are you thinking about, hey!!" Yan Ke was originally talking to Nan Yu about going to the next city after finding a car. He saw on his mobile phone that there was a stone city not far from Quancheng, and its safety level had reached green, and a large number of people from Quancheng had gone to that place.
As a result, after seeing the innocent person who died after the mutation, Yan Ke's brain started working rapidly, his thoughts were in a mess, and he didn't hear what Nan Yu said at all.
Suddenly hearing Nan Yu's voice, he was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I've called you several times, Yan Ke. I said that after we find a car, we will go to the next city, Stone City. The security level there is very high, and we will definitely find some delicious restaurants."
Yan Ke replied: "Okay."
The events in Quancheng seemed to have opened the prelude, and humans were powerless to resist. The trend of praying to Buddha and gods on the Internet was also related to this. After all, most of them were ordinary people. Even if some players published their own reward cheats, it was in vain for most people. There was no energy in the air of this world to sustain their learning, and people could only learn some experiences and moves.
Even if you can study every day, it is probably just to exercise your physical fitness. Only those players who often enter the dungeon can learn real self-protection skills.
In this world, only soldiers or athletes can learn some self-protection skills through those rewarded cheats. If they mistakenly enter the fog and enter the dungeon as players, the final outcome will be the difference between early death and late death.
As time passed, the two people on the tram finally saw the iconic car-for-sale sign. Yan Ke told Nan Yu: "The car is parked there." After saying that, Yan Ke realized that the car that was hit by Nan Yu was probably scrapped. It was unknown how long it would take before the entire Quancheng City was open to the public. After all, the city was shrouded in fog.
"I was thinking, it would be great if there was no fog. And now..." He could only continue.
The changes and developments of things are essentially intertwined, and the changes in real life are even more illogical.
In a blink of an eye, the two arrived at the gate of the community and rode in on their electric bikes. Yan Ke felt that this community was a place frequented by urban white-collar workers. The community was also very empty, and because of the fog, it had become a deserted city.
Yan Ke quickly found the place where he parked the car, but it was empty. It was over. If he had known what would happen, he should not have changed the car.
