Chapter 9 Why don’t you call for help?
Such a discouraging thought was just a thought. Lin Han still didn't want his journey to the "new world" to come to an abrupt end just a few minutes after it started.
Frankly speaking, he was very interested in the "academy" he had seen before. The people he met were Alfred, who was very special compared to other guides, Jiang Xuchen, a child with a delicate and cute appearance but respected and loved by everyone, and Su Fu, who looked very unusual. They were all very good.
His keen gaming sense told him that the "Academy" must be hiding a lot of secrets. After all, according to the original process, even if he didn't fall into this dungeon, he would have to enter a simpler dungeon - starting the ranking competition shortly after the start of the game was unusual in itself.
And this unusual thing is what makes him special - an ordinary student who has just received an admission letter.
It’s very playable, and Lin Han doesn’t want to give up just like that.
All he could do now was to try his best to free his hand from the iron ring, even if it meant breaking his hand.
In fact, at this time Lin Han had already set his sights on Su Fu.
He had previously seen Su Fu easily heal the injured student's broken arm bone without any effort. So, he thought that healing a broken hand should not be a problem, right?
Furthermore, Lin Han still remembered clearly that Su Fu had given him a BUFF because of the rookie assessment, but compared to the immediate effect of the white light, the buff on him did not take effect.
Thinking of this, Lin Han hesitated for a moment and took some time to check his information.
If there really is such a buff, he might be able to find clues in personal information.
【Player Information】
Name: Lin Han
Race: Human
Role: An ordinary student who just received an admission letter
Rarity: Hidden-Hidden
Plane: Academy
Comment: Oh! Congratulations! You were born in Rome!
Lin Han frowned and made a silent sound.
Therefore, the character he drew is a hidden character among hidden characters. He can see the specialness of the "College" from the fact that the "College" itself is a plane.
The New World official has released some game data and statistics, but some of them are not told to all players, such as planes and hidden characters, which are all compiled spontaneously by players. Lin Han has seen a summary of data before, which showed that there were one hundred and eighty game planes, and the same was true for hidden characters.
These are all the information exposed by other players. Naturally, there are also people who hide everything tightly.
That data did not include the hidden character that Lin Han had drawn, and according to Lin Han's memory, it also did not include the "college" where he was currently.
In other words, as long as Lin Han doesn't say it himself, no one will know the character he drew, nor will they know the plane he is in. Even during the live broadcast, as long as he starts the blocking setting, the audience will not be able to see the relevant information.
But now is not the time to think about how hidden his hidden character is. Lin Han successfully found the buff that Su Fu gave him.
【state】
Su Fu's blessing: May the Son of Light bless you through the endless darkness. Once again, you are a very lucky person. Lucky!
Lin Han: ...
He looked up at his hands. Because of the previous struggle, the iron ring was about to scrape his flesh and make him bleed.
So, the buff Su Fu gave him was not actually healing?
Yes, if there was any treatment, even if it was just continuous treatment with poor therapeutic effect, it should have been effective long ago.
Lin Han sighed. It seemed that there was really no good solution now.
Facing death, he could only try a not-so-good method.
It is said that one way to break free from handcuffs is to dislocate your thumb.
Lin Han had only heard of it but had never tried it, and he vaguely knew that this operation would have serious side effects and was not something an ordinary person like him should imitate.
But he could only hope that after clearing the dungeon, his injuries would heal, or even if he could take them out, Su Fu would help him with the treatment because they were "one of us".
Lin Han: If he can get out alive.
Because of his previous resistance to holographic games, until Song Ziyi sent him the game cabinet without prior authorization, Lin Han had too little time to learn about the new world. It can be said that he regretted it now.
No normal person should intentionally dislocate their thumb, and no normal person would do so.
Lin Han was hanging there, so it was difficult for him to exert any strength. He tried many times, but apart from bending his right thumb until it hurt, it had no other effect.
It was also at this time that Lin Han truly realized how disadvantaged it was for an ordinary person to appear in such a game world.
According to the routine of the novel, or the setting of an ordinary game, the protagonist, regardless of gender, when faced with a situation where their wrists are bound by an iron ring and they will die if they don't break free, will remain calm, not even frown, and will dislocate their thumb without hesitation, and then escape from danger.
This is probably something that the protagonist in novels and games can do. No, not only the protagonist, but also the villain, passerby and even cannon fodder can do it. After all, if they don't do it, they will die.
But Lin Han couldn't do it.
He is an ordinary person.
An ordinary person who knows that he will die if he doesn't do it, knows that he will die if he delays any further, and knows the best solution for him but dares not do it.
He is afraid of danger and death, but at the same time he is afraid of the pain of survival - because he knows this is a game.
Why would people do something that is no different from self-harm just for a game?
This is a holographic game, he feels pain, he knows that when he will be sucked into the machine and cut into dozens or hundreds of pieces in a moment, he will not feel any pain at all, so he will be afraid of the pain he may suffer if he struggles at this time.
So what if I just lost the chance to play games?
Unwilling to accept it? Afraid of embarrassment?
At this moment, he even thought that what he had experienced did not seem to be a normal gaming experience. Could this experience of death at the start allow the new world to give him another chance to play the game?
Human beings are very complex creatures, and sometimes their thoughts and feelings are beyond their control.
As the conveyor belt continued to carry him forward and he was finally about to face the dark hole oozing out a strong smell of blood, Lin Han was not thinking about how to escape, but how to get another chance to play the game.
He had been avoiding the pain of his own struggle.
He is just an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person who knows that he is playing a game and everything he faces is just game data break his thumb so easily?
There's no need.
It's just a game.
Lin Han thought so as he watched the bloody entrance around the bend gradually being blocked by the pig hanging in front. Looking at the white skin and flesh in front of him, his heart began to beat wildly again for no reason.
It will be his turn in a while.
Don't want to die.
It doesn’t hurt anyway, I can just close my eyes and leave the game.
Don't want to die.
At most, he would be laughed at by Song Ziyi, and maybe the New World would find out that the difficulty was unbalanced and give him a chance to continue.
Don't want to die.
......
Lin Han's thoughts became gradually divided. He was afraid but also wanted to fight, wanted to fight but was afraid. He almost became a contradictory existence.
The thought of the next second overturned the thought of the previous second and was replaced by a new one. He almost didn't know what he was thinking.
People scold a person who accepts his fate in real life and never struggles, just living in misery, for not fighting. But at this moment, facing the impending death in a game, how many people can have the courage to resist like the people in the novels and TV shows they read?
Lin Han always thought of himself as an ordinary person, but he never expected that he was really so ordinary.
He thought of Song Ziyi.
Song Ziyi is an impatient person who is only enthusiastic for a short time. He has changed countless hobbies since he was a child, but he can never stick to them. In comparison, Lin Han, who has been running around his yard several times every day for decades, can be said to have much more perseverance.
But even Song Ziyi is like that. He has been working hard in the new world for half a year. He is still full of interest and has never complained. If he is in Lin Han's current position, what will he do?
Even if Song Ziyi was not by his side, Lin Han could imagine what he would do - he would break his thumb without hesitation, successfully escape from the conveyor belt, and then run to him after completing the copy to cry about the crisis he experienced in the game and ask him for a compliment of "You are awesome".
He couldn't do what Song Ziyi, who was considered a flash in the pan by his elders, could do.
In some aspects, he had long been left behind by Song Ziyi.
Lin Han didn't expect that a "life and death moment" in a game would make him think of these things.
The conveyor belt continued to move forward, and he was one step closer to death.
His panic made him not know how far ahead he was before the moment when his life would be taken. He just listened to the sound of mincing meat getting louder and louder, and the sound of blood foam spraying was almost next to his ears.
Lin Han's heart was pounding, and his originally cold naked body became uncontrollably hot in the humid environment, and the heat made his skin jump.
For a moment, Lin Han was in a trance.
Even if he had a chance to start over, he would definitely never be able to draw this new character called "Excessive LUKY" again. Although this hidden character seemed useless and he didn't experience any "LUKY", but switching to any other character would be like losing...
Don't want to die.
As those cruel voices became clearer and clearer in Lin Han's ears, he kept repeating these words frantically in his mind.
I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die...
Just a tour...don't want to die!
The dark entrance finally revealed itself to Lin Han. The pig hanging in front of him was sent into it by a conveyor belt. With the sound of "clicking", a blood mist splashed out and hit his face.
Lin Han was stunned for a moment and held his breath.
At this moment, he even forgot that he was playing a game.
There were only three words left in his mind - I don't want to die.
He had tried countless times before to dislocate his thumb but failed. But at this moment, he didn't know where he got the strength from, and he forcibly pulled his right hand out of the iron ring.
Blood dripped into his eyes, and in an instant the almost overwhelming pain made his vision go black, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
One hand escaped the restraint of the iron ring, and the weight of the body was all on the wrist of the other hand. The fragile skin finally couldn't bear the weight, and the iron ring dug into the flesh. Lin Han's arm tensed up and began to twitch, but he still subconsciously reached out to turn the knob.
He was getting closer and closer to the entrance.
Lin Han could already smell the thick, almost pervasive smell of blood. He desperately tried to turn the knob, trying desperately to get further away from the entrance, but he couldn't.
The knob maintained its original angle and did not move at all.
He was almost entering the entrance. He could even feel the wind brought by the spinning blades, and his toes were almost touching the wet covering cloth.
At this moment, what Lin Han was thinking about was not why such an inhumane copy appeared in the new world, and why such a cruel and ruthless way of death was designed. He just hated it. When he first found himself hanging here, why didn't he take timely action to save himself?
At least in the new world, he has forever lost the opportunity to "save himself".
At this time, even facing death, Lin Han did not give up struggling. He tried to pull his other hand out of the iron ring, but the pain and fear consumed a lot of his physical strength. His other hand could not even hold the knob tightly, let alone repeat the previous operation to pull the handle out directly.
Even though he kept leaning back, his knees still pushed open the covering cloth and he was immersed in the darkness. Lin Han closed his eyes.
He swore that if he was given another chance, he would never miss the opportunity to save himself at the beginning.
In the darkness, he heard a creaking sound as something was unscrewed.
Before his unclear mind could figure out what the sound was, he suddenly fell down, and then was strangled by the waist and hung in the air, almost vomiting.
He heard someone ask him, "Why didn't you call for help?"
Lin Han opened his mouth and moved his almost rusty head as the other party spoke.
Yeah, why didn’t you call for help?
The author has something to say:

Lin Han: Just ask, I can’t remember.
