Chapter 165
Song Jingchen pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a forced and bitter smile.
It's not that he couldn't hear the pleading in his tone, nor could he see the hope in his eyes. Fu Hengyi also smiled and replied gently and cruelly:
"Ajing, there's no such possibility."
The light in Song Jingchen's eyes disappeared, and he made an almost inaudible shattering sound.
He didn't say anything else, but turned and walked towards the stone gate.
Huasan silently watched his thin back as he left, without trying to stop him, but suddenly said:
"A Jing, you'd better not go and meet up with the Red Queen and the others."
Song Jingchen turned his head slightly, frowning.
"Xie Yan has already sold your information to someone else."
Huasan knew the news not too early, and no one knew how many people knew about it before that.
Although the Red Queen has no real enemies, her rise is bound to make some people quite unhappy.
On the surface, Xie Yan seemed to be targeting him and Song Jingchen, but this matter might not have nothing to do with the Red Queen.
After all, Fu Hengyi is a veteran in the gambling game and has a sharp eye. He can always see things more accurately than Song Jingchen.
Since the establishment of Han Palace, which tied them together to form a community of interests, it can be said that one move has a ripple effect on the entire body.
What Song Jingchen thought was probably not what he thought.
Fu Hengyi didn't say it explicitly because he didn't want Ajing to think that he was quibbling or making excuses on purpose.
He didn't want Song Jingchen to dislike him any more, even though things had come to this point.
Fu Hengyi stood there waiting for a long time. Before leaving, Song Jingchen just glanced at him lightly and left without saying anything.
Fu Heng gave a bitter smile, and once the people left, the man was completely deflated, his brows filled with decadence and melancholy.
In fact, Song Jingchen did not ignore Huasan's words.
He has long passed the stage of being emotional. Maybe Fu Hengyi is not good at being a human being, but he is really good at gaming.
Song Jingchen took Xie Yan's ID card and looked at it. All the information on it was familiar to him.
If this person just wanted to deal with him and Fu Hengyi, there would be no need to set up such a situation.
For three whole months, Xie Yan accompanied them to the card room frequently and carried out rigorous training.
To say that you have gained any benefits, apart from the basic JR points, it can't really be said that you have taken advantage.
On the contrary, Xie Yan's existence is more like a tool used to cheat points. He is hardworking and obedient to follow orders.
His contributions were obvious to everyone, so Yitu didn't ask too much about his background.
However, this thankless person wasted three whole months hiding beside them just to deal with him and Fu Hengyi?
How is that possible? Song Jingchen put the ID card back into his pocket, and he had already guessed something in his mind.
Before entering the tower climbing activity, Xie Yan repeatedly suggested that the two of them bind their spouses under the pretext of increasing their survival rate.
At first, Song Jingchen felt a little puzzled. Xie Yan had always been steady and proper, and would never make any extraordinary requests.
But at that time, Xie Yan tried to persuade him several times, and Song Jingchen agreed in order to repay the favor.
Looking back now, perhaps all of this was exactly what Xie Yan had planned.
He was the one who asked someone to pass the news of binding spouses to Fu Hengyi. Xie Yan even calculated that he had an 80% chance of not being able to defeat the Queen of Spades, and he had thought of a foolproof escape route in advance.
As long as Song Jingchen is alive, he will definitely be able to get out alive.
Xie Yan's calculations were very good, and the reason why he did this was...
I'm afraid he just wanted to disgust Huasan on purpose. Apart from that, Song Jingchen really couldn't think of a more appropriate reason.
But the truth was pretty much the same as Song Jingchen guessed. Xie Yan and Hua Shan had no direct conflict of interest, and it was even their first meeting.
But Xie Yan had been holding a grudge against Huasan for a long time.
The cause of this incident ultimately stems from the Queen of Spades's amorousness. Fu Hengyi likes to sympathize with the weak in the game, especially men and women with outstanding looks.
This is not because Huasan is attracted by beauty, but simply a gift from a strong person to beautiful things.
Just like the beautiful flowers and grasses you encounter by chance on the roadside, there are very few who have one or two stunning roses, such as the handsome Song Jingchen.
Fu Hengyi is a broad-minded and passionate person. He has saved or protected so many flowers and plants that he can't even remember their names.
He enjoyed the grateful and admiring expressions of others, but was annoyed by the repeated harassment of everyone.
That's why Song Jingchen said that people like Fu Hengyi are just bad people wearing a hypocritical mask.
Those who can't survive can't survive anyway, but you insist on saving them and giving them hope.
However, the next second he turned around and abandoned her without mercy.
During the time Song Jingchen and Fu Heng were together, they had argued countless times about this matter, but each time ended in failure.
The man fiddled with the lighter in his hand, and the blue flame that ignited was faint and without any temperature.
He is not a savior who can save people again and again.
He saved many people by giving away his opportunities, but naturally, he also ruined many others.
Everyone's life should be in their own hands. It is ridiculous for a dodder to rely on others for survival.
Of course, Ajing is not a dodder, but the rose growing in my heart.
At that time, Song Jingchen seemed to understand but didn't quite understand, he just felt cold all over.
All he wanted was the simplest sense of security, and a clean circle with no one else in it.
However, the man didn't understand and thought that he was just being unreasonable, so he patiently coaxed him.
He was held in the man's arms, who gently kissed away the tears on his cheeks, and spent one torturous night after another eating honey mixed with poison.
Huasan once saved Xie Yan’s fiancée, who was also an exceptionally beautiful crabapple flower.
She cried with tears in her eyes, her eyes were pitiful, and she begged softly. Fu Hengyi couldn't bear it and saved her.
At that time, the man had not met Song Jingchen yet, and Haitanghua also stayed with Fu Hengyi for a while.
She relied on the flower umbrella to carry her through the card room and enjoyed the feeling of being envied by everyone.
Despite her various attempts to please him and even her willingness to sell out her body, the man just didn't buy it.
The people around Huasan often change, and as soon as the novelty wears off, he will turn around and leave.
You could say he was playing with people's hearts, or you could say he was just killing time.
Not surprisingly, Xie Yan's fiancée eventually broke up with him, saying that she had found a better option who could take care of her.
However, just when Xie Yan let go and wanted to sincerely bless them, he received the news that his fiancée was cruelly abandoned and died in the card room.
The fiancée was pierced by a sharp bamboo pole and turned into a hedgehog. Her body was covered with blood holes and her pretty face was distorted.
Xie Yan watched that replay no less than a hundred times. The more he watched, the more painful and numb he felt.
He didn't even need to ask, as many players told him that the man next to his fiancée was called Hua Umbrella.
Queen of spades, umbrella.
------------------------------
Yi Tu didn't know that Xie Yan was dead, and Song Jingchen was trying to find him alone.
I also don’t know about the incident where Shen Yueshu ran into an old friend and almost got into a fight with Wei Zhou in the Spade Tower.
He just looked at the green train slowly approaching from a distance, and subconsciously squeezed the ticket in his hand that was beginning to heat up.
The 49th floor of the Heart Tower is a dividing line. Players who cross it are officially considered to have entered the middle floor of the A-shaped Tower and become a minority of advanced players.
However, this level is not so easy. The weird nursery rhymes and the extremely tragic ways of death are extremely terrifying.
Even Yi Tu was not completely sure. After all, the lyrics of the nursery rhyme about train tracks were simple and the meaning it could express was very shallow.
"Train number nine is about to leave! Beep beep! Beep beep!"
"Eight kids are playing games, one kid is taking a break, and the number nine train is beeping!"
"Green carriage, red front, blue driver, no axle."
"Left sidestep, right turn, a kid truck axle."
"The driver quickly got out of the car to check..."
"Eight children lying on the ground, and one child looking for his head!"
The lyrics sing about a moral choice question about human nature. A total of nine children are playing on the train tracks. One of them is tired and sits on the side to rest, while the remaining eight continue to play.
At this time, the train was coming and the driver had no time to brake, but he could change lanes.
There are eight children on the left and only one child on the right, but the original train track is on the left. If it were you, would you choose to save eight children or sacrifice one child?
The driver in this nursery rhyme gave what seemed to be the most sensible answer: he turned right and killed one child, but eight children survived.
However, in reality, the eight children he thought would survive did not actually survive.
The last line of the nursery rhyme, "Eight children are lying on the ground, and one child is looking for his head," already hints at the wrong ending.
Although such a dialectical question will increase the number of people by hundreds of times, sacrificing a small part to save the large base is an inevitable choice.
But in a game with ironclad rules, this is a mistake.
Everyone should pay for their own mistakes rather than sacrificing the interests of others.
When players are asked to get on the bus, it is simply the game asking them to change the correct answer.
However, the truth of the answer has been modified and concealed, and most players are shrouded in fear, so they can't see where the solution is.
Yi Tu guessed about 70% of the answer, but still didn't dare to let his guard down.
You have to know that the players in front died as soon as they got on the car. There must be something blocking them on the car.
The locomotive with a carriage stopped steadily in front of everyone, and the door opened automatically with a "creak".
Under the gaze of everyone, Yitu calmly stepped into the car without any hesitation.
As soon as he entered the carriage, a pungent smell of blood hit him in the face. Yi Tu looked down and saw blood all over the floor.
The shoes on his feet were already stained with blood, and when he lifted them up, they brought up sticky threads.
The car door quickly closed behind him with a clang.
Then, an unusual yet very suppressed faint sound was heard in the silent space.
It sounded like the gasping of a dying person, the kind of gurgling sound as someone with a hole in their lungs was trying their best to draw air.
The next second after the sound rang out, Yitu's alarm bells rang, and he subconsciously released the Wind God's Binding to protect himself.
A blood-red shadow came at an incredibly fast speed, suddenly swooping down from the top of the car and slamming hard into the door behind it.
Yitu groaned, and when he looked up again, he saw the whole thing.
A skinned, bloody humanoid monster, its neck cut by something unknown, now drooped to one side, its dead white eyes staring at the living person in front of it.
Yi Tu felt a chill on his back. The carriage was too small. The thing was huge and fast. If the player didn't dodge in time, it would be easily caught by it.
Especially since this thing pounced down from the top of the carriage, most players were caught off guard and were killed by it before they had time to use props.
Yitu had no intention of fighting this thing, and quickly used the power of wind to cut off its limbs.
However, what he never expected was that this monster, which had lost its head and broken limbs, was still crawling on the ground, as if it could not die at all.
Yitu quickly realized that the monster's neck might not have been broken by itself, but was most likely broken by a player's prop.
However, even so, it did not die and was still crawling on the ground gasping for breath.
Yitu tried to push the door of the cab, but it was locked and could not be opened.
Seeing that the train was about to enter the designated right track, Yitu released his divine sense without thinking and invaded the monster's mind.
In just a few seconds, Yitu already knew where the key to the cab was.
The key was hidden in the monster's neck, which was not completely broken, or to be more precise, in its throat.
Yitu moved quickly, cutting the monster's throat with a knife, and felt a tiny key in the bloody mess.
He immediately opened the door of the cab. There was no operating console inside, only a lit blue screen panel.
There are only two simple options on the panel, Left or Right.
When Yitu pressed the left button, the train made a loud roar.
The children's screams and wails suddenly rose, and soon weakened.
Through the glass window, Yitu saw a large amount of blood flowing out of the tracks, which was very serious.
The train moved forward steadily and stopped at the station after a while.
After getting off the bus, Yitu saw the stone gate standing at the exit.
Without stopping, he pushed open the stone door and entered the next level of the tower.
