Chapter 275 Sixth Station
Youxi obtained the third memory fragment in the "Sleeping Beauty" area. This memory fragment was not a reward for the night playground game, but a prompt that appeared on her phone immediately when she stepped into the "Sleeping Beauty" area, and a time limit was set for finding it.
The prompt was: it is a thorny fortress and also soft and beautiful.
According to the story of "Sleeping Beauty", this prompt is almost very clear.
After the princess fell asleep, the thing that protected her and the people in the entire castle was the roses that grew wildly outside the castle. They entangled and surrounded the castle. It was a thorny fortress, but it bloomed the most beautiful and soft flowers.
The clues were easy to guess, but it was not easy to find the right place, because there were five rose gardens in the entire "Sleeping Beauty" area, and there were six or seven hotels, inns, restaurants, and dessert houses named after roses...
and the time was only two hours.
Although Youxi ran fast, it was not suitable for her to run like a normal person during the day, and she would be easily caught by the guards here.
Later, she remembered the "suspended step-substitute skateboard" she had stockpiled before, so she took out two, and she and Xiyuan each took one, and went to the rose places one by one to check in at the fastest speed, and finally got the third memory fragment within the specified time.
Compared to the key information in the second fragment, this memory fragment does not contain much information. According to the picture, it should be a continuation of the second memory fragment, which is her daily life in that single room: changing into white clothes, washing and sleeping, getting up on time, eating, and then being taken to a place similar to a medical room for a full body examination.
But this fragment of memory matches the new memory fragment obtained by Tang Yatong and Lin Wu. The Easter egg memory fragment they obtained in the night game this time also has similar pictures, especially some details, such as clothes, inspection items and the appearance of the room.
But they also got some other information, such as wearing a helmet and entering a virtual training ground through a consciousness connection to conduct various physical strength and reaction training.
"It seems that we all entered here in the same way." Now everyone is almost certain that the endless train world is a virtual world. Of course, the place where they are now is only the virtual part, just like the consciousness entering a computer simulation training ground.
It's just that this venue is larger, more detailed, and the feeling is also very real.
Therefore, if they want to complete the world mission, leave this world, and return to their original place, it may not work in this virtual part, and they have to find a way to return to the real part of this world.
So the question is, how can they get out of the virtual part of this world and go back to the real part?
Maybe when someone pieces together the complete Easter egg and obtains all the lost memory fragments, they can find the answer.
At the same time, there is another problem that bothers them.
Obviously, it was Leng Mian who gathered Tang Yatong and the other four and sent them to Youxi in order to deal with the system tower together, but now, they have been wandering between stations. What method should they use to deal with the system tower?
What is so special about this world? Do they need to find a way to deal with the system tower here, or do they use some other method?
The last question is, will Leng Mian come by herself?
"She said that if she comes in by herself, she will be immediately noticed by the system tower." Xiyuan said.
"When did you say that? Before you came in?" You Xi looked at him.
Xi Yuan didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, and was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously didn't want to deceive You Xi, but these words were not told to him by Leng Mian before he came in this time, but decades ago (in his timeline), when he went back to the Seven Hells to save You Xi, Leng Mian told him.
"What's wrong?" Obviously, You Xi noticed his pause.
He remembered himself hiding in Yin Yin's body at that time, who was so close yet could only stare at her quietly, because he couldn't speak at that time. Now he can say it, but it doesn't seem to be a good time.
He only wants to share those important scenes hidden in his life's memory with her alone.
So he spoke, and simply explained, "Not this time, but before."
Youxi nodded. In fact, she also wanted to know whether Leng Mian would come by herself.
It had happened many times before. From before, Leng Mian used his own power to send the help that could assist her to her side. But she herself never showed up once, and she never knew the reason.
It was the first time she heard Xiyuan's statement that "if she came in by herself, she would be immediately detected by the system tower", but if it was because of this reason that Leng Mian could not come to her in person, the previous doubts would be explained.
She hoped that the situation this time would be different from before.
The part about memory fragments ended, and everyone began to organize the props again. This time they stayed in the "Fairy Tale Paradise" for 22 days. In addition to Youxi's night game every night, Tang Yatong and the others probably participated in about thirteen night games in total.
Because they could get props as rewards as long as they cleared the game, each of them got at least thirteen props. Although most of them were not very practical and somewhat absurd like the "dwarf bread" that Youxi got, they looked pretty good when they were displayed.
Afterwards, Youxi took out Xiyuan's pile of props. The props he got alone were only half of the props of the four of them.
Xiyuan said that these were all obtained in the fairy tale park. Because of his special identity every time he stepped into the station, he rarely received mission rewards in the previous stations. He still didn't get space for it until now, and his item slot was 15, so he couldn't carry much.
But because of his identity as an aboriginal, he has reasonable savings and even a place to live at each station. He appears at each station near the designated accommodation, so he doesn't need to stock up on a lot of things.
The bracelet space in Fairyland is the first space he has in the Endless Train World. When he found out that he could get props after becoming a Nightmare Park NPC and surviving the game, he went to work every day for a while, just to be selected to participate in the nightclub, and the props accumulated little by little...
"Many of the props here are duplicated. You can divide the duplicates and put the other non-duplicate ones in Youxi's place." He spread his hands to indicate that he would have no space after leaving Fairyland, and the item grid could not hold so many.
There are many kinds of props, including enhancements, weapons, and special effects, such as obtaining a skill for a limited time. Of course, which skill you get depends on luck. There are also many personal bunk upgrade tickets and two team bunk upgrade tickets.
Youxi also saw several round balls that looked like crystal bubbles. It is said that after using them, they can be transformed into thick transparent balls of human size. There is a hole to enter the bubble ball, which can be closed from the inside after entering.
If the person rolls inside, the bubble ball will also roll forward. In addition, the ball is light and elastic, so even if it hits an obstacle, it will bounce back and continue to move forward in the direction of the person rolling inside.
It sounds a bit tricky, but this bubble ball has a certain defensive effect. It can resist external attacks while rolling to escape. However, it needs to be used with a breathing mask for a long time, otherwise it is easy to suffocate after the oxygen is consumed.
Xiyuan said that he tried one during a night game. At that time, he happened to encounter a very powerful and fierce tourist who chased him and attacked him for some reason. He was annoyed at the time because he wanted to get props but didn't want to work hard (fight back), so he hid in this bubble ball directly. The opponent attacked outside for half an hour, and the bubble ball didn't move at all.
"What happened next?" You Zhenzhen listened with great interest.
"The game ended, and of course he left."
"Not bad!" She nodded in approval.
Afterwards, everyone unanimously decided to leave these crystal bubbles to Youxi, the only one without a shield - yes, Xiyuan also has a shield, because his skill is also his bound weapon, a black long sword with a burning function, and he also brought several high-point defense cards in his initial item slot.
Youxi looked at the pile of crystal bubbles and imagined himself hiding and rolling inside...
Youxi: ...
I was speechless.
However, among the props counted this time, the one that was unanimously recommended as MVP by everyone was the prop that Youxi obtained in the special scene.
It is a retractable "happy family of four tree house". The prop looks like the kind of accessories that decorate mobile phones. There is a hanging ring and a small green tree ornament below. It looks like an ordinary toy.
However, after this prop is activated, a tall and lush simulated tree will appear in the original place. On the branches, there is a tree house room for a family of four.
It is an open space inside, but there is a toilet and a simple kitchen. Because it is equipped with a generator and a water tank, as long as there is fuel and water, the toilet and kitchen can be used normally.
Although it is a tree house for a family of four, it is okay to sleep six or seven people as long as you make a floor bed.
It is similar to the function of an RV or a yacht, but it cannot be moved when in use. At the same time, you must choose the right place and take various defensive measures.
In short, this tree house replaces the functions of a series of items such as tents, self-built toilets, camping tables and chairs.
Considering that Xiyuan had no space and it was inconvenient to carry too many tents and items, Youxi wanted to let him put away this "tree house" and use it when needed, but he refused.
"I have the identity of an indigenous person at the station. I have a place to live, and even if the situation is not right and I have to move, I can't sleep anywhere. This is the most suitable for you. Only you have enough fuel and water. Leaving it to the rest of us will not be of much use. When we enter the station, let's gather as soon as possible."
So Youxi put it away again.
Later, she wanted to share some metal ice and nutrient solution with Xiyuan, but he only had fifteen item slots, and each slot could only store a nutrient solution or a bottle of metal ice.
Metal ice was better, as it released a large amount of water, and one bottle could last for quite a while. But the nutritional solution was a bit of a rip-off, as one bottle took up one slot and could only last for three days.
She thought about giving him a box directly, but according to the item slot law, once the items were unpacked, they could not be put back, unless they found a sealed box and repacked it tightly...
In the end, Xiyuan took a bottle of metal ice and put it in the item slot, and took ten spare nutritional solutions and put them in the backpack.
Everyone was very happy during the whole process of researching and organizing the props. They were busy for three or four hours before they finished organizing all the things and went to rest.
After Youxi chose a bed, Xiyuan quietly chose her lower bunk, and then quietly climbed up the stairs after the compartment door was locked and the lights were turned off, poked his head at the person on the upper bunk, and leaned over to her pillow to look at her.
"Go to sleep." You Xi closed her eyes and whispered.
"You haven't touched me today..." He leaned his face towards her again.
You Xi: ???
She opened her eyes and looked at the beautiful features so close to her, with an incredible look on her face: "How old are you? You have the nerve?"
"Pfft..." From the other end of the sleeping compartment, You Zhenzhen's suppressed laughter came faintly. She was not asleep yet, and she heard it.
Xi Yuan didn't care about being heard, and deliberately revealed grievance in his voice: "Then you touched me before..."
You Xi didn't say anything this time, but looked at him with a look of sigh and regret.
Xiyuan understood the look, sob, as expected, humans are not as good as wolves...
He said goodnight unhappily and was about to climb down the stairs, but a hand reached out from the darkness in front of him and gently pressed his hair.
"Goodnight, Xiyuan." Youxi's voice came, "I'm happy to see you again here."
Xiyuan felt the remaining warmth of the other's fingers, and his eyes were quietly red in the darkness.
He was also happy to see her again, very, very, very... happy.
**
This is an old and dim platform, the walls are yellow and black, covered with pieces of dirt and sticky substances of unknown origin, the lights above are also flickering, and the whole platform exudes a sense of desolation.
Almost at the same time when the train door opened, the passengers waiting inside covered their noses.
A strong stench drifted in, like facing a huge pile of rotten fish and shrimp, or a smelly garbage dump full of maggots. They were unprepared and almost vomited by the smell.
Fortunately, Youxi had stockpiled breathing masks at the previous station and distributed them to everyone. At this moment, everyone took out the breathing masks from the space (Xiyuan from the backpack) and put them on their mouths and noses.
According to the previous announcement, there was no puzzle solving at this station, so it was a physical station. They could get off the train together from the same door, but they only had 20 minutes.
"I've never smelled such a disgusting smell on the platform before. What exactly is this station?" You Zhenzhen looked at the dirt and sticky ground outside and planned to leave with the shield on.
