The familiar interface appears again.
"She regained consciousness." Ou Ranyu said.
Venatchis raised his golden eyes and said calmly, "I know what you're here for. Get out of here as soon as you're done. I can't wait much longer."
Venatius shook out a crown from her sleeve and tied up her white hair.
She is like a porcelain doll with skin as white as cream and as cute as ice and snow.
Unfortunately, his behavior is not that of a baby at all.
Venatchis walked around Chen Can, kicked open the dormitory door, and stood at the doorway, shrieking, "What bad luck! A dead person is lying here."
When Chen Can heard the word "death", his mind was filled with the pale "corpse" with his face on top.
"Don't you dare come out and take a look?" Venatsis turned the "corpse" over. "Blood is oozing from under the head."
This is not fun to watch.
"Shut up." Chen Can couldn't stand it anymore and locked Venatis outside the door.
Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang were unable to go out, but they could see the face of the "corpse" clearly through the window from a distance and were scared to death.
"Damn... is that a lamp...?" Zhu Baifeng couldn't help but whisper, "What a tragic death."
"This game is illegal." Li Yachang frowned.
"It's fake. I'll go out and take a look." Ou Ranyu pushed the door open and went out as if nothing had happened.
Chen Can turned his back and squatted on the ground without saying a word.
"Light Bulb, you have to be strong. You must be alive and well in reality, although it is unlucky to see that thing. Don't worry, we will report this broken game as soon as we get out." Zhu Baifeng comforted.
Chen Can still kept his head down and said nothing.
"Duck intestines, stop looking at him and try to persuade him." Zhu Baifeng pulled Li Yachang over.
Li Yachang said: "Light Bulb, I just saw Ou Ranyu moving the body away."
"Yes, yes, they've all moved away," Zhu Baifeng agreed, then turned around and asked in a low voice, "Where did they move to?"
"You pulled me away before I even saw me." Li Yachang said truthfully.
"Really? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"You gave me a chance to speak."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Chen Can stood up, pushed the door and left.
Only the two of them were left staring at each other in confusion.
Zhu Baifeng asked, "Is this a case of being possessed by an evil spirit?"
Li Yachang said, "It's strange, let's follow and see."
When Chen Can came out, Ou Ranyu didn't know where he had taken the "corpse", and Venatis was squatting under a tree waiting for him.
"Kid, if you have something to say, just say it quickly." Venatis said impatiently.
Chen Can said: "I only ask you three questions, just answer them."
Regardless of true or false.
Is the person lying on the ground dead?"
"Dead."
"Why die?"
"Must die."
"Who are you?"
Venatsis paused for a few seconds and replied, "Venatsis."
After asking this question, Chen Can already had a guess in his mind and said, "Okay, then take us out of An Ning Town now. You must know how to get out alive, Venatchis."
"Just destroy this place." said Venatis.
Chen Can couldn't help but gasp in surprise. He only spoke halfway through his speech. Is he really not an NPC?
"How to destroy it?" Chen Can asked patiently.
"Just destroy my heart and brain," Venatchis said bluntly, "but you can't do that."
"Especially you, kid, don't be so self-righteous." Venatis raised his head with disdain.
Chen Can was speechless for a moment, wondering how he could be considered self-righteous just because he asked a few questions. This kid was too self-indulgent.
"Mute."
Venatus snorted and ignored Chen Can. He called out faintly towards the tree behind Chen Can, "What are you hiding for, you damned kids?"
Behind the tree: “…”
Chen Can couldn't stand it any longer: "Who do you two think you're stupid? Get out of here right now."
"I didn't hide, I just wanted to avoid disturbing your conversation." Li Yachang walked out slowly from behind the tree, bringing Zhu Baifeng with him.
"Are what you just said true?" Zhu Baifeng asked out of the blue.
"You can't even tell a lie, you silly pig." Chen Can laughed at him mercilessly.
"That's not nice, Lamp Light, you're really becoming more and more like a villain." Zhu Baifeng laughed in anger, pointing at Ou Ranyu who had just returned from transporting the corpse and said, "Even more like him."
"Tsk!" Chen Can was surprised. He changed the subject and said, "But I am indeed a villain." His expression was firm and his tone was unquestionable. It was not like his usual jokes. Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng began to believe him.
"Oh." Ou Ranyu suddenly responded.
Chen Can always feels powerless because of Ou Ranyu's understatement.
"Kid, get going quickly." Venatchis pointed to a mountain that rose high in the sky. "Go there and you'll find a way to destroy An Ning Town."
Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang exchanged glances with each other.
Without any tacit understanding, Chen Can was baffled by the hints from Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang.
Chen Can turned his head away with an evil heart, and just met Ou Ranyu's face, as if he was staring at him.
Chen Can had no choice but to go see Venatis.
Venatchis rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you looking at? Get on the road."
"agree."
"Agree"
"Let's go then."
"OK."
The four of them answered in turn.
There were no goblins or ghosts along the way, and even the eerie fog gradually dissipated. But four people, with eight legs, were walking much slower than a little girl, which was indeed suspicious. But Venatus neither slowed down nor turned to look back at them.
"She's entered the cycle again." Ou Ranyu said, looking at Venachis from a distance.
"Don't move, we're about to change venue," Li Yachang signaled everyone to stop.
Venatius turned his head and gave them a dim glance. In an instant, everything changed. The mountain slowly twisted into a vortex, and the ground kept folding and twisting.
The whole world seemed to be crumpled into a ball like a piece of white paper.
"You're not a good kid."
At the last moment, Chen Can heard Venatchis's voice in his ear.
Chen Can stood with his eyes open, Ou Ranyu stood diagonally across from him, Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang lowered their heads, kneeling on one knee. Venatus stood in front of a bare tree, looking up at something.
Time seems to be frozen at this moment.
Everyone is trapped in the vortex of time, unaware of the present day.
Chen Can moved his fingers with difficulty and cursed inwardly.
Time was awakened.
Ou Ranyu turned his head to look at him. Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng raised their heads and stood up, confused. Venatius said calmly, "We're here."
I finally arrived at the place where I found the way back—that mountain. But there was nothing there except a tree.
"Does this tree have a hidden secret? Are you deliberately trying to help us?" Zhu Baifeng stood up and questioned.
Venuschis stood without responding.
"Don't say anything. Let's see what tricks you are going to use." Zhu Baifeng looked fearless, but his voice was actually trembling.
The top of the mountain shook slightly and the four people almost fell.
"What is she going to do? We can't just sit here and wait for death." Zhu Baifeng said to the three of them.
"Just shake it for a while. Let's see what she's going to do first. If that doesn't work, knock her out." Li Yachang said, and at the same time glanced at Chen Can. Chen Can avoided eye contact.
"Look at me, I won't comment."
"Don't you want to go out?" Li Yachang asked back.
"I want to, but I can't get out." Chen Can said jokingly, "But seriously, maybe she is helping you leave here."
"Who are you on the same team with?" Zhu Baifeng also felt that Chen Can was abnormal.
"A traitor." Ou Ranyu pointed out simply and clearly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are the one who is in cahoots with the traitor." Zhu Baifeng retorted bluntly.
Chen Can felt a headache when he heard the word "traitor". Before he could say anything, his feet shook violently again. The four of them lost their balance and scattered.
Boom——
The ground under Zhu Baifeng's feet suddenly cracked. Before he could call for help, his feet had no support and he fell into the crack. Although Li Yachang, who was closer, grabbed him, he was dragged down with him.
"you--"
Chen Can saw them falling, and he rolled and crawled over to them, but the mountain was shaking so violently that Chen Can still didn't catch up.
At this moment, Chen Can cursed his ancestors a thousand times in his heart.
"It's so noisy."
Venatchis's voice broke through the noise. "If you make any more noise, I'll throw you all out."
In just two sentences, Venatius pulled Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang out from the crevice of the mountain, holding one in each hand and throwing them in front of Chen Can.
"Useless stuff."
Venuschis said something to Chen Can and returned to the bald tree.
This statement really has no lethal power.
Chen Can waited and shrugged, pretending not to hear. He said to the two frightened people, "Why are you still sitting there? It's not shameful to be rescued by your own people."
"No, you..." Zhu Baifeng hesitated and turned to look at Li Yachang.
Li Yachang was also quite embarrassed: "...We thought you thought the traitor was Venatchis."
Chen Can was speechless. He did suspect Venatis, but after asking those three questions, he quickly denied it.
The person who died was Chen Can, Chen Can who had to die. Venatis knew who he was.
The traitor was not Venachis, nor Ou Ranyu, but himself.
No wonder they never suspected Ou Ranyu.
He guessed that his main quest and side quests were either different from or opposite to those of others. He didn't need to leave here, he just needed to survive, stay or destroy this place, because the real "Chen Can" had died in front of the dormitory building, and he was going to be the next "Venachis".
This would explain why Venatchis brought him here, perhaps she needed a "successor".
She can protect her teammates and escape unscathed.
Although she looked down on this "successor", no one could replace Chen Can.
Crazy, this world is really crazy.
"I told you before, I am the traitor." Chen Can said indifferently.
Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang's faces turned from disbelief to pale.
As everyone knows, if you want to leave here, you must kill the traitor.
What would happen if he died? It was probably similar to what Chen Can was thinking. He would never wake up in reality and would remain an NPC in the game world forever. If he survived, then they would all have to die.
And he couldn't get out.
The sixteen-year-old boys were in desperate situation for the first time
"Forget it, this is just a crappy game. I don't believe we can't get out of this." Chen Can waved his hand.
Zhu Baifeng blamed himself: "Light bulb... I'm sorry..."
"Don't take responsibility. Let's think of another way... Lightbulb, are you sure you're the traitor? I don't think something's right." Li Yachang went over the clues in his mind. "Why do I think the traitor is still Venatchis? After all, Venatchis should be an NPC in the game. Considering her previous behavior, I'm more inclined to believe that some variable caused your identities to be swapped."
Chen Can, Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng exchanged "mission details".
"Comparing our main and side quests with our teammates' progress bars, your main quest is to kill the traitor, and your side quest is to continue talking in Anning Town. If you are the traitor, killing yourself is a contradiction, isn't it?"
"Also, why is your [Teammate] progress only at 95%, while we've already reached 100%? Assuming you're the insider, then there's no [Teammate] progress bar. Unless there's more than one insider, then it should be 100% by now."
"So, I might be inclined to believe that you weren't a mole in the first place, and that some variable changed the outcome."
"You mean..." Chen Can understood a little and looked at Ou Ranyu. The other two also followed his gaze.
If I'm not mistaken, it's because of him.
Chen Can recalled that the progress bar increased when he found Ou Ranyu, but stopped after he met Venachis.
Ou Ranyu left inexplicably once, so he did have the opportunity to do something.
"Ou Ranyu." Chen Can called him from a distance, "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Ou Ranyu turned his head as if to look at him, but did not go over. He stood on the edge of the crack, one step forward and the abyss would be just out of reach.
Chen Can's heart skipped a beat, feeling a sense of foreboding.
He was going to jump, but he might really die.
"Damn, he's not going to jump, is he?" Zhu Baifeng was terrified.
"Light Bulb, please call him over quickly." Li Yachang was also very anxious.
No one wants anyone to have an accident. After all, that person is a living person, their classmate in real life.
"I didn't talk about him just now, he is too sensitive." Zhu Baifeng muttered softly.
Chen Can thought to himself, it wasn't that he was sensitive, it was just that the clues were too strong and their hints were too obvious.
"If the intervener chooses to leave on his own, the procedure will automatically return to normal." Ou Ranyu's voice, as usual, without any fluctuations, came faintly.
It seems like he is stating something, but also like he is thinking.
"Ou Ranyu, come here first. Even if the intervener leaves, what can be changed? What has happened has already happened, and things may not necessarily return to normal." Chen Can said hurriedly.
"Yes, yes. We haven't found out what the intervening factor is. Can't you come over and discuss it together?" Zhu Baifeng also advised.
"What I just said is not true, because there is already a bug in this game, so it is natural for the plot to change," Li Yachang added.
"I am indeed an intruder. I came in here and forcibly changed the original plot. I should leave."
Ou Ranyu's words were flat, as if it didn't matter to him at all, and even if he was facing death, he was indifferent.
Then jump.
Ou Ranyu's body was already leaning towards the abyss. Chen Can cursed inwardly, took two big strides, and flew over, almost failing to catch his feet. Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang followed closely behind, the former hugged Chen Can's legs and the latter seized the opportunity to grab the former's clothes, and his feet got stuck in a stone.
"Light bulb, hurry up." Li Yachang blurted out through gritted teeth.
Needless to say, Chen Can used all his strength and almost broke his arm. Zhu Baifeng also gritted his teeth and moved in.
Finally, he was pulled back.
The three men conserved their last bit of strength and held Ou Ranyu down tightly, fearing that he would jump again.
Ou Ranyu allowed Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang to grab his ankles and Chen Can to clamp his wrists.
Ou Ranyu said coldly: "I'm just doing what I should do, you don't have to stop me."
Fuck you.
Chen Can couldn't help but curse in his heart, "You are really crazy."
This is the first time Chen Can uses this in front of Ou Ranyu.
word.
As soon as he said that, he realized that Ou Ranyu was really a psychopath. Calling a psychopath a "psychopath" didn't really count as an insult.
Forget it, never mind.
Chen Can continued, "Do you think you can save everyone by jumping? Who do you think you are? What are you? Don't be so self-righteous and overestimate your own abilities."
Ou Ranyu didn't reply, Chen Can kept chattering, and the air was terribly low.
"You said you--?" Chen Can wanted to curse a few more times, but Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang both covered his mouth.
The pig and the duck couldn't stand it anymore.
"Light bulb, that's enough," said Zhu Baifeng.
"He seems to be a little abnormal." Li Yachang said.
"I'm fine, you continue." Ou Ranyu seemed to be staring at him for a long time.
Chen Can also felt uneasy and kept his mouth shut.
Ou Ranyu said: "Chen Can, you always have to make a choice."
One or two people will die.
I almost forgot about the traitor. If Chen Can chooses to sacrifice himself and help everyone, then he might be trapped here forever like Venatice. If he completes the mission, then everyone will be left here, whether they live or die.
If...it's a dead end, but it's just a life in exchange for life.
"Is there no fourth way?" Chen Can asked from the bottom of his heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, the silence was replaced by another shaking of the mountains and the earth.
"I told you not to make noise." Venatis, who was looking at the tree devoutly, suddenly turned his head and glanced coldly at the four people squatting on the ground.
The four people squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands were so quiet.
The mountain gradually subsided
The four of them stood up at the same time and looked at Venatchis.
"What did she do?" Zhu Baifeng asked in a low voice.
Before anyone could reply, Venatus disappeared into the trees. Then, without warning, Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang both collapsed.
I feel dizzy again.
Chen Can's psychological endurance was pretty good. After thinking for a few seconds, he realized something.
"Puppet." Ou Ranyu expressed his thoughts.
Venatches may have controlled Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang, but now Venatches just walked away without saying a word.
Realizing this, Chen Can soon became restless and kept turning around the tree, sitting and turning again. No one came out for a long time.
No, whose teammate is this?
Chen Can had no choice but to find someone himself. After settling Zhu Baifeng and Li Yachang, Chen Can walked to the tree, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands together reverently.
"Please, the tree man has the capacity for trees. Don't bother with me. Let me find someone else."
The tree remained unmoved.
Chen Can muttered piously, but it still had no effect. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ou Ranyu stepping on the roots of the tree on the ground, reaching out to pull down a fork of the tree, and gently breaking it, breaking off two branches.
Tree:"……"
Chen Can: "...What are you doing?"
Ou Ranyu handed him a branch and said calmly, "Take it and go in."
"How do you know?" Chen Can took the branch doubtfully, and at the same time, he and Ou Ranyu went into the tree.
"Guessed." Ou Ranyu said lightly,
The moment you pass through, the mountain suddenly turns into a flat land, a vast open area with lush grass, blue sky and white clouds, and gurgling water.
There's an indescribable weird feeling.
Like painted red fruit!
It looks fake.
In front of Ou Ranyu and Chen Can was a small stream named "Heshijian". The stream lived up to its name, with clear water that was so transparent that you could see the bottom and the sand and stones were detachable.
It's so fake.
"Do you want to go over?" Ou Ranyu asked
The implication is that it may be dangerous to cross over.
Since you are here.
Chen Can gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and stepped over.
Nothing happened, and the scenery before my eyes seemed fake.
