Chapter 37
When I opened my eyes again, this is the scene before me.
The eyes of the three were so clear that Pei Zhao actually realized in an instant that he had been dreaming. The warmth brought by the floating fireball made Pei Zhao calm down quickly, and he recounted all the scenes he saw in his dream.
Pei Zhao's eyes widened after learning that he had obtained the defense line of Hall City.
"You mean, the protection of an entire city is now on me? This... How can I be worthy of this!"
Bai Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "As an enlightener, you should have this. How can you be so virtuous as to talk about this?"
Lan Ji also smiled, raised his hand to pinch an ice cup, threw a piece of ice into it, and after Bai Zhou melted it with fire, he handed it to Pei Zhao.
"Drink something to moisten your throat."
Bai Zhou said: "Actually, you don't have to feel burdened. Perhaps extinction is the fate of Hall City."
After drinking the water, Pei Zhao felt much more awake. Don't dwell on this topic anymore, just say, "If possible, we can go back and take a look."
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhou and Lan Ji both burst out laughing. Lan Ji smiled and said, "Zhou Yuli just agreed to our request."
This surprised Pei Zhao: "Oh?"
Zhou Yuli's face was calm, and he could not tell if he was happy or sad. He nodded gently: "Yes."
Pei Zhao was inexplicably happy, but he couldn't tell why: "Well, he has the final say."
·
The things in Pei Zhao’s dream were not completely fabricated.
The four of them worked together to put out the fire, pushed aside the vines, and saw the scene below clearly.
There is not just one blue eye, but many.
They walked side by side, as if on patrol, covering the entire park densely.
"I'm starting to develop trypophobia," said Pei Zhao.
"Trypophobia? What is that disease?" Bai Zhou asked.
"It's a psychological effect that when you see densely packed things, you will feel uncomfortable all over." Pei Zhao spoke quickly, rubbed his arms, and moved closer: "What are they doing? Can anyone tell?"
"Looks like he's looking for something." Lan Ji frowned.
Those dark blue eyes lined up in a neat row, wandering in the dark playground like ghosts. Their figures could be vaguely seen, but as he looked at them, they became blurry. Pei Zhao rubbed his eyes and could only see the dark blue drawing a thin line in the darkness.
His breath was choked, and the narrow eyes of Zhou Yuli in his dream came to his mind again.
The four of them just wanted to take a look and didn't think about doing anything. Pei Zhao leaned on Zhou Yuli, but he was no longer sleepy.
This time, they didn't even know what to do to return to their original world, but Pei Zhao was still frightened by that bizarre dream and was no longer sleepy at all.
They leaned against each other in the darkness, and for a moment the only sound was their breathing.
Until a scream pierced the sky.
Pei Zhao shuddered and subconsciously grabbed Zhou Yuli tightly. Zhou Yuli immediately hugged him and quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid."
On the other side, Bai Zhou and Lan Ji had already leaned against the glass, looking down.
The sky was already getting light, and the faint blue light was mostly absorbed by the skylight, so it was not as dazzling as before.
The scene below became clearer. Pei Zhao saw that all the people were wearing gray clothes, but the strange thing was that the gray seemed to blend in with the surrounding environment, even...
He squinted his eyes and looked carefully. Why did those people seem to have no feet? It floats in the air.
Among them, a short-haired woman was sitting in the middle, hugging her knees and crying.
The woman was wearing a white vest and shorts, and holding a doll in her hand. From her attire, it was obvious that she was a tourist visiting the park during the day. The scream just now came from her.
At this time, the woman was surrounded by five or six blue-eyed men, screaming and begging.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, can you please let me go...?"
Pei Zhao and his companions were too far away to hear anything, but by looking at the situation, they could roughly guess the situation.
Pei Zhao just turned his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Zhou looked up and raised an eyebrow: "Save people?"
Lan Ji, who was standing next to him, had already formed ice spikes in his hands: "Save."
Pei Zhao's gaze swept across Zhou Yuli's face again. The man said nothing, but stared at him closely. Many tiny vines had spread out from the palm of his hand, waiting for his order so that they could take action immediately.
Pei Zhao retracted his gaze and pursed his lips: "Do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the vines that were entangled with the Ferris wheel were released instantly, and the next second, they all ran towards the blue-eyed person below.
Those Blue guys seemed to have eyes on their backs. They reacted extremely quickly and immediately jumped out to defend themselves. However, the next second, the vines seemed to ignore them and ran straight towards the girl in white.
The vines wrapped around the girl and took her to a height of a hundred meters. They didn't react in time and looked up. With the slightly brighter light from the sky, they saw four figures standing there.
The girl was taken into a glass chamber and then the door was closed.
However, they had no intention of catching up, but just turned their heads together and looked at the person in the center.
Although that person had blue eyes, his attire was different from the others, especially the bright yellow symbol on his chest.
A triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle.
The wide cloak revealed half of his face, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "Violators must be eliminated."
·
The vines wrapped around the glass warehouse again. The girl huddled in the corner. To be honest, after being pulled from the ground here, she didn't think the people in front of her were safer than those blue-eyed people.
She waved her hands wildly to prevent anyone from approaching.
"Don't come over here, I beg you, I'm not a violator, I came in to find my sister..."
With a "whoosh", a small flame lit up in front of my eyes. The warmth brought by the fire startled her, and at the same time, it illuminated the faces of the four people in front of her.
"...Uh," she stopped begging for mercy. She didn't want to admit that she was obsessed with looks, but looking at the four faces in front of her, she couldn't associate them with "bad guys". "Did you save me? Thank you so much."
Bai Zhou couldn't help but chuckle, and snapped his fingers. Another cluster of flames floated in the air. Bai Zhou put his arm around Lan Ji's shoulders and said, "She's so calm!"
Lan Ji broke free from his arm speechlessly, made a cup of ice and handed it to Bai Zhou expressionlessly.
Bai Zhou raised his hand angrily and continued to heat the food without complaint.
When the water reached the right temperature, Lan Ji patted his hand impatiently and handed the cup to the girl: "Drink some water? Calm down first."
Bai Zhou muttered: "What happened suddenly..."
The girl took the cup of water stupidly and took two sips before she reacted.
No, why did she drink the water given by a stranger?
Also, where did he get this ice cup? Did the boy with the indifferent eyes just now have fire in his palms?
But she drank the water as quietly as a chicken. After drinking the water, she put the ice cup in the palm of her hand. The slightly cool temperature made her sober.
A figure squatted in front of her.
"Tell us what happened, will you?"
The girl looked up at him.
The boy in front of me was very handsome, with a pair of indifferent and cold eyes, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised, revealing a hint of wisdom. Behind him, there was another man standing. She saw that there were still vines in the man's palm that had not been retracted. The man who had just pulled her over and was now surrounding the entire glass warehouse was this man.
The girl shrank slightly, then went back to hugging her knees.
"...My name is Xu Zhen. Today...yesterday, I brought my sister here to play. When the park was about to close, I went to the bathroom. When I came back, my sister was gone. I waited in the park for a while to find her...and then..." She seemed unable to continue. She sniffed, calmed down and continued: "I saw some strange people. I thought they were staff members. When I was about to ask for help, I found out...they had no feet. I was scared to death and quickly hid."
"Hidden just now?" Pei Zhao asked.
Xu Zhen nodded, then blushed and shook her head: "It's not really hiding, I was too tired during the day and fell asleep... Just now, I woke up from the cold and sneezed, and then... I was discovered."
"Did they say anything to you?"
The girl looked confused. “They just said… that violators… must die. Then they surrounded me. I was so scared that I ran away, but they caught up with me in the end.”
Pei Zhao nodded, indicating that he understood. Pei Zhao put the skin given to him by Zhou Yuli on Xu Zhen and stood up.
"It sounds like some kind of 'rule-based weird talk'." Pei Zhao glanced at Bai Zhou's blank look and explained, "It's a modern game theme that sets some rules in a certain area. Once violated, there will be punishment."
This is a new type of game that has emerged in recent years. He has also read many novel excerpts on the Internet, but he did not expect that the different world he came to this time would follow the same pattern.
Lan Ji frowned: "So the rule this time is that you must leave after closing time, otherwise you will die?" He showed a speechless expression, "It sounds really boring."
Lan Ji hid in a corner. Bai Zhou came over and lit a fire for him. The warm firelight reflected on his face, and Lan Ji looked better.
Pei Zhao had no choice but to look at the person behind him: "Zhou Yuli, what do you think?"
Zhou Yuli pressed his solar plexus and said simply: "Just follow the rules of the world."
Pei Zhao also meant this. He didn't care which world they came to. They were always coming and going anyway. After leaving this world, they would enter the next world. All he cared about was how to leave here and return to the real world.
Pei Zhao squatted down again, looked at Xu Zhen, and moved his lips.
In the dim firelight, Xu Zhen thought she understood something, but it seemed like she didn't understand anything. She subconsciously asked, "...Say it again."
Then he heard the handsome young man in front of him looking at him straight, with an embarrassed look on his face, as if he was trying to decide what to say.
This was the first time that Xu Zhen was so close to such a handsome boy. In her life, there had always been only her sister. She initially thought that she would never be so close to a boy in her life.
She couldn't help but hold her breath and finally heard clearly what the boy in front of her said.
He said, "Would you like to be my puppet?"
