Chapter 54: Yinghu Park (Part 7)
On the left side of the field of vision, the larger bride is the normal size of an adult male, while the smaller one is about the size of a rag doll, sitting delicately on a small stone.
The two brides have exactly the same sitting posture, and their bodies are enlarged and reduced in equal proportions. It is simply a normal version of Mu Yu and a reduced version of Mu Yu.
Lu Zhongnian examined the two figures calmly.
...This copy actually uses this kind of trick.
When the two brides are put together, the younger one looks very fake, but precisely because she is too fake, she seems more real.
At the same time, Mu Yu was also making judgments in his mind.
The "Lu Chongnian" who just passed by was too huge, but precisely because he was too huge, he seemed more real at this moment.
The two were half a meter apart, and the same thought came to their minds at the same time.
——The (big) person in front of me doesn’t seem trustworthy no matter how I look at it.
…
The wind was blowing and it seemed like raindrops would fall at any time.
Lu Zhongnian's gaze suddenly turned to the two brides' hands on their legs.
At first glance, these two pairs of hands look exactly the same, with slender fingers. Although they have been holding pens and studying hard for many years, they do not have too many calluses. They are very beautiful, but one pair of hands is normal size, while the other is a smaller version.
Lu Zhongnian observed quietly for a while, then walked towards the bride of normal size without hesitation and knelt on one knee in front of her.
Mu Yu heard a click, and then... his right hand was handcuffed with a pair of silver handcuffs?!
During the entire process, their hands did not have direct contact, so it was not considered a violation.
After the handcuffs were put on, Lu Chongnian picked up a small key and waved it in front of Mu Yuhong's vision under the veil.
"Since it came out of a vending machine, the monster shouldn't be able to be replicated."
The boy whispered, "We may not be able to use the electronic scale after the game is over, so we should go get the clue first and come back later. It shouldn't take long."
He seemed to be talking to himself the whole time, but Mu Yu knew that he was talking to him.
After saying this, Lu Zhongnian stood up, turned around and disappeared from his sight.
Mu Yu's heart was beating fast and he let out a breath.
——Compared to the one with a weirder body shape, the one with a normal body shape seems even less trustworthy in this game.
When Mu Yu thought of this just now, he also thought, would the copy want to take advantage of this point to induce them to make wrong judgments and miss each other?
This is very likely.
It is even possible that the two Lu Chongnian who appeared before and after were actually fake. No matter which one Mu Yu chooses, he will die without a burial place.
Fortunately, although the copy is dangerous, things have not yet become more complicated.
Lu Chongnian's action of handcuffing him was simply and crudely curbing all possible tricks that might appear in the copy.
The handcuffs came out of a vending machine. This was the "off-field assistance" provided by the copy to the players. Monsters should not have the ability to copy, so the only person who could open the handcuffs was Lu Chongnian who truly returned.
All Mu Yu had to do was wait for Lu Chongnian to come back.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the silver handcuffs on his hands, his heart beating wildly.
...It’s really exciting, no wonder so many young couples love to play it!

Let’s go back a few minutes.
Ye Sui finally ran out of the woods and came to the lawn.
At this moment, a feeling of impending death came over him. Ye Sui noticed that there were two candles burning in the candle array, so he quickly ran over there and blew hard.
However, only one candle was successfully blown out, and the other one could not be extinguished no matter how hard he blew.
Ye Sui frowned, didn't argue any further, turned back to the branch, peeled off the four sticky notes and took a look.
The candle that couldn't be blown out no matter what was done was the one that Jiang He couldn't blow out in one breath at around 11:35?
But what does it mean if the candle does not go out?
Ye Sui continued to read with doubts, then turned around in surprise and looked at Li Mingke at the park gate - did Li Mingke have the ability to see the future?
At this moment, Li Mingke was waving desperately, as if he had something to say to him.
Ye Sui ran over and discerned the message Li Mingke wanted to convey through his lip movements and hand gestures: "... Two new players have entered the game?"
Ye Sui was stunned.
This copy actually attracts new players midway?
Why? Is it because two people have died and the game must be kept to eight players?
Li Mingke also said that the two dead people might be Lu Bin and Qin Jiang, and if you meet "Lu Bin" again, you must be careful.
When Ye Sui went back to read the message left by Jiang He this time, he suddenly understood something.
Jiang He must have known the identity of "Lv Bin". The reason why he didn't write it down on the note was probably because he was afraid that the monster would see the information they left and alert the enemy.
But the game cannot be played this way. Having important clues but not sharing them for fear of monsters finding out will only make problems more likely to occur.
Besides, Jiang He couldn't do it alone if he really wanted to solve the monster. What was the point of him being the only one who knew the clue?
Ye Sui wrote on the sticky note:
1. 11:37, blow out a candle.
2. Two newcomers enter the dungeon. It is possible that Lu Bin and Qin Jiang have been killed. Li Mingke said that the monster will turn into Lu Bin's appearance, so be careful.
3. In the northeast of the park, there is a little bride in a tree hole. I don’t know if she is a player or a monster, but judging from her figure and body shape, she looks like a girl.
Leaves stay.
Then, he looked at the location information left by Jiang He, which was suspected to be that of Mu Yu or Hong Yang's bride, and turned back to look at the electronic scale placed in front of the game base station.
...Or maybe you should give it a try first.
He walked over and put all the things he had on him onto the scale, including the sticky notes, pens, devil coins, and shirt. All added up to a weight of only 0.5g.
Ye Sui: “…”
have no choice.
You can't expect surprising numbers. After all, this is a "love weight exchange scale". It's a miracle that he can still weigh 0.5g.
But now, their lives are at stake and they need clues. If only this miracle could be bigger...
Ye Sui paused, took off the glasses on his nose, and put them on the electronic scale.
The number displayed on the electronic scale instantly jumps to: 500.5g
Ye Sui: “…………”
He closed his eyes and opened them again after a second.
The number was still 500.5, without any change. It wasn't that he was mentally ill or his eyes were blurry.
The boss came out and said, "Oh, it's one pound now. Can we change the clues now?"
Ye Sui was strangely silent for a few seconds, then said firmly, "Yes."
The boss took out a photo. Ye Sui took a look and saw that in the center of the photo was Hong Yang, wearing a red veil.
He was sitting in an open area, with all the trees two or three meters away from him. This environment was very similar to the location information left by Jiang He.
Ye Sui immediately set off, ran towards the woods, and headed straight in that direction.
It was at this moment that the radio in the park suddenly sounded.
"The partner of tourist Su Mingyun has gone missing. The game for this group is over. Please go to the game base station as soon as possible after hearing the broadcast and repeat it again..."
The elegant female voice spread throughout Yinghu Park.
For a moment, all the players scattered throughout the woods paused.
Su Mingyun's partner is Jiang He... Something happened to Jiang He? !
*
Outside the gate of Yinghu Park.
Li Mingke could not hear any sound from the park and paced around anxiously. At one point, he suddenly noticed that the thick fog on his right had retreated a distance, revealing a luxury car parked on the side of the street.
He was stunned, stopped, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
...Another new player was pulled into the dungeon? !
After waiting for a few seconds, the door on the driver's side of the luxury car was opened and a man got out of the car.
The other person was wearing a white shirt, well-dressed, handsome and elegant. He moved the phone away from his ear, probably because he had just hung up a call.
As soon as he saw the man's face, Li Mingke recognized him immediately - this was the strange man he had seen in the park after midnight!
He...he was actually a new player who was pulled into the dungeon halfway!
Different from the couple that were pulled into the dungeon just now, and even different from the performance of all the newcomers including Li Mingke at the beginning of the dungeon -
The man's face showed no surprise or confusion about the current situation. He just put one hand on the car door and scanned the thick fog around him. His eyes were fixed on Li Mingke: "Student, could you explain what's going on now?"
Li Mingke stammered and gave a scientific explanation, and the man let out a breath as if he had a headache.
"I see." The man checked the time on his phone. "It's already 11:38, which means there are still more than 40 minutes left, right?"
Li Mingke continued to stutter: "Yes, yes!"
"I'm the only one added to the dungeon this time. Does that mean only one player died in it this time?"
Li Mingke was confused again.
Before he could react, the man closed the car door and walked into the park.
After entering, the man stopped, turned sideways, raised his hand, and pointed at the air towards Li Mingke.
Li Mingke was stunned.
……What's the meaning?
Ah, radio?
Radio playing in the park right now?
By the way, broadcasting is necessary in this situation... Li Mingke's face suddenly changed, and he realized that something was wrong!
In the original timeline, Jiang He was shocked when he saw this man after midnight!
It has been deduced before that there is only one possible reason for this situation, that is, before this, no broadcast had been made in the park due to the entry of new players.
Because it has not been broadcasted, other players have no idea that new players will be added to the copy!
This also means that, in the original timeline, the strange man who entered the copy now must have come in as a group with another new player!
——After Qin Jiang and Lu Bin died and a pair of new players were added, another pair of players died. This may be the real development on the original timeline.
But now, the course of events has changed, and the second wave of death is not "a group of players" but "a single player".
Was it his interference that affected the development of the copy...?
One less person died, and at first glance it seemed as if he had saved a person, but Li Mingke did not feel any relief at this moment, only endless panic.
Because the death of both players in a group and the death of a single player are bound to correspond to two completely different situations.
Is the player who died now one of the players in the group who should have died together, or is he a separate one?
...If this change happened because of his reminder, then the one who got into trouble couldn't be... Ye Sui or Jiang He...
Because so far, only the two of them knew about Lu Bin’s group, and the others had not had time to come out to check the note. But Ye Sui had just returned to the woods, so it was unlikely that he was the one in trouble. Then... could it be Jiang He... ?
Li Mingke's face instantly turned pale.
He wouldn't kill Jiang He, would he?
*
The broadcast was repeated three times, and then the content was suddenly updated.
"Tourist Su Mingyun's partner, Yan Shaowen, has been found. Yan Shaowen, please come to the game base station as soon as possible so that the group can continue the game!"
"I repeat, tourist Su Mingyun's partner, Yan Shaowen, has been found. Please ask Yan Shaowen to go to the game base station as soon as possible so that the group can continue the game!"
The stone broke the earth.
Su Mingyun, who was sitting quietly somewhere in the woods, looked confused... Who was "Yan Shaowen"? Was he a new player? Could this dungeon bring in new players midway? ?
Ye Sui staggered and looked up at the night sky in astonishment.
...The person who entered the dungeon in place of Jiang He was Yan Shaowen? He was also at the park entrance just now?!
Hong Yang, who was deep in the woods, looked confused, and Mu Yu was equally shocked.
Lu Zhongnian stopped and was slightly surprised.
At this moment, all they were thinking about was...
How did this guy get in?
…
Yan Shaowen, who made such a grand appearance, was feeling very unlucky at the moment.
Just a minute ago, he pulled over to the side of the road to answer a phone call. When he looked up, he saw Mu Yu, Ye Sui and Hong Yang gathered at the entrance of Yinghu Park. At the same time, his cell phone had lost signal.
There was no response on the other end of the phone, and the time on the phone jumped from 10:55 to 11:38.
Yan Shaowen got off the car and found that his old classmates had disappeared from the park's gate. The sudden thick fog around him made him realize that he was finally involved in a strange incident that he absolutely did not want to be involved in.
At this moment, his three old classmates had apparently been playing in the park for a while.
Yan Shaowen walked towards the game base station and first stopped in front of the branch that stood abruptly towards the sky, and looked at the several sticky notes stuck on it.
Then he came to the door of the wooden house, knocked on the door, and observed the environment inside calmly.
The boss came out quickly and handed him a photo of a girl: "Here, this is your partner Su Mingyun, take a closer look, go in and change your clothes before coming out again."
The girl in the photo was smiling sweetly at the camera. Yan Shaowen took a look and put it down.
The bride will be covered with a red veil, so what's the point of him just looking at her face?
After he went into the cubicle to change his clothes, took the wedding scale, and read the groom's rules again, the boss told him he could set off into the woods at any time.
The feeling of impending death continued to intensify, but Yan Shaowen calmly walked back to the electronic scale at the door, thought for a second, opened Alipay on his mobile phone, and placed the phone on the scale.
The boss came out to watch and laughed, "Just now, two guys tried it with their phones, and they both only got a few tenths of a gram. Hahaha—huh?"
The electronic scale clearly shows: 30g.
However, Yan Shaowen’s Yu’ebao account currently shows 1 million.
boss:"……?"
Yan Shaowen smiled and said, "Only fools don't like money."
He took off the expensive watch on his hand and put it back on.
Electronic scale shows: 100g.
boss:"…………"
Throw down another car key, 110g.
Yan Shaowen raised his eyebrows slightly.
That car is worth 10 million, but its weight gain is less than the previous two?
Don’t his teammates love cars?
He didn't have anything else on him, so it was impossible for him to perform a live striptease. Yan Shaowen picked up his phone and directly opened the bank app this time. He showed a number that was almost blindingly bright and put it back on the scale.
The weight has indeed increased, but only by 5g, which is less than before.
Yan Shaowen: “?”
What? Are his teammates completely numb?
The boss wiped his nonexistent saliva and said with hatred and gloating: "The love that money can buy is limited after all!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhongnian ran out from behind the game base station.
The two boys looked at each other from a distance. Lu Zhongnian stopped and looked at him for a few seconds, then lowered his gaze to the phone.
Yan Shaowen narrowed his eyes.
He swore that he saw a hint of contempt in the eyes of this inexplicably familiar stranger.
