Chapter 61 Yinghu Park (End)
10:55, at the entrance of Yinghu Park.
Everyone perked up, and when they looked carefully, the thick fog had dissipated.
Su Mingyun, Ye Sui, Hong Yang and Mu Yu stood together, and the four of them still maintained the alert posture before the copy came.
Xu Dong and Wang Jia were walking towards each other, below the sidewalk.
A luxury car was parked on the side of the road. Inside the car, Yan Shaowen heard the person on the phone asking, "Hey, why is there no sound? Can you hear me?"
“…I can hear you.”
Yan Shaowen came back to his senses and answered casually, then raised his eyes and saw a pair of pedestrians talking and laughing as they passed by his car.
A boy with naturally curly black hair was quietly watching his fellow travelers talking next to him, his eyes curved.
A gust of wind blew by, and he subconsciously turned around, his eyes falling on the windshield of Yan Shaowen's car. The two people's sights inadvertently passed each other in the air.
The boy's eyes curiously swept over Mu Yu and the others, while Yan Shaowen lowered his eyes and said, "Let's talk later," and hung up the phone.
…
"Hey, where is Lu Chongnian?"
While Wang Jia and Xu Dong were looking around, Mu Yu and the others looked to the side.
Qin Jiang and Lu Bin walked side by side into the distance with expressionless faces, and Jiang He also left quietly.
Li Mingke put away the panicked and lively expression from the previous second, looked across the street with his dark and calm eyes, and walked away.
Mu Yu's hands hanging at his sides tightened slightly.
He recalled the last moment before the copy ended, and he couldn't help but whisper the question to Lu Zhongnian.
“…Is it true that the past and the future cannot be changed?”
They knew that something would happen to Li Mingke, but they couldn't change the outcome.
It was like after the copy was completed, time went back, they clearly returned to the time before everything started, but the dead people still didn't come back.
It is said that the past cannot be changed, and the only thing humans can change is the future.
But a huge force messed up their past and future together and turned their lives into a maze. They were all trapped in it and could not find a way out.
Mu Yu vaguely remembered Lu Zhongnian's silence at that time, and the boy's hand that gently rubbed his head.
He didn't know what Lu Zhongnian was thinking at that moment, but he knew that he was feeling more and more unwilling.
I am unwilling to be controlled like this.
Mu Yu took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Hong Yang and Ye Sui.
Hong Yang had been silent since a while ago, and now he lowered his head.
I know he is blaming himself, but there are still some things I need to clarify.
"How on earth did you two get into this mess?"
Ye Sui paused, glanced at Hong Yang, and said, "...Yang Yang encountered two monsters."
Su Mingyun was shocked: "Two?!"
"right."
When Ye Sui rushed to Hong Yang's location, the scene he saw was two monsters surrounding Hong Yang.
One monster stood aside, and the other monster handed the phone under Hong Yang's red veil.
When he heard Hong Yang answer "yes", it was too late to stop it. The monster's wedding scale had already hooked Hong Yang's red veil.
Ye Sui didn't even think about it at the time, he rushed over at an accelerated speed and lifted off Hong Yang's red veil before the monster.
He vaguely remembered the moment when Hong Yang raised his head and the astonishment on his face when he saw the scene in front of him.
He himself turned into a reverse candle and fell to the ground.
later……
Hong Yang lowered his head.
Later, after Ye Sui turned into a candle, he felt a sudden sense of impending death.
But at that time he had not yet recovered from the shock of the scene before him, so he had no time to take any action.
He himself was soon turned into a reverse candle.
At this moment, Xu Dong and Wang Jia were listening on the side. Wang Jia's eyes were a little red because she cried at the last moment.
She asked in a daze: "Did Ye Sui violate the fifth rule of the couple's game rules and the fifth rule of the groom's precautions?"
Rule 5 of the Couple Game: When the groom finds the bride and they successfully confirm each other’s identities through communication, they can lift the red veil.
Groom’s Notes Article 5: During the one-on-one questioning process, other grooms must not interrupt.
She asked again: "What about Hong Yang? If he had dodged at that time, would he have been fine?"
"No, the fifth rule of the bride is a fake rule." Mu Yu said.
Tips for brides: When the groom comes to lift the red veil without asking, please move away from him immediately.
This rule is completely inconsistent with the other rules.
If the groom lifts the red veil without asking, it means he has violated the rules. In this case, the bride should be completely blameless.
——The groom didn’t ask, so how should the bride answer?
Therefore, at this time, the bride should just follow the rule of "please don't move your body and don't talk".
That is, if she just sits where she is, she will be fine.
However, Ye Sui must have acted too quickly. Before the copy had time to punish him, he had already forcibly removed Hong Yang's red veil. At that time, what Hong Yang should have really followed was the second rule of the bride's rules.
Tips for brides: If the red veil falls accidentally, please pick it up immediately, cover it, and sit back in your original position.
——The feeling of impending death that Hong Yang felt at that time should be the copy urging him to pick up the red veil.
Unfortunately, Hong Yang didn't have time to react, and he eventually violated the rule, and was therefore also turned into a reverse candle.
Xu Dong and Wang Jia were shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help asking Ye Sui: "What were you thinking at the time? Why did you think of removing Hong Yang's red veil?"
Su Mingyun also admired Ye Sui's courage at the time: "Have you ever thought that the consequences of matching the wrong pair might be more serious than the consequences of violating the rules?"
Ye Sui adjusted his glasses, looked at Hong Yang again, and said nothing.
To say how calm and rational I was at that time, actually it didn't exist at all...
His mind was completely blank at that moment.
"You can't let him face death alone. He's afraid, but he never says it."
——Before he rushed over to snatch Hong Yang's red veil from the monster, this was the only thought that really came to his mind.
Hong Yang remained silent and never raised his head.
Mu Yu patted his shoulder and whispered, "Anyone could fall into the same situation you're in. Don't feel guilty."
Whether it was him, Su Mingyun or Wang Jia, they all encountered a monster in the copy.
One monster is enough to confuse them, let alone two monsters together?
All I can say is that Hong Yang had very bad luck. The first time he entered the dungeon, he encountered a situation where the difficulty was set to the maximum.
Hong Yang still didn't say anything, just silently looked in the direction where Li Mingke had just left.
No one knew how to comfort him. Perhaps, what Hong Yang needed at this moment was not comfort, but digestion.
Su Mingyun asked hesitantly: "Speaking of which, how did Li Mingke know that the candles transformed by the players would burn in reverse?"
Mu Yu said slowly: "He may have seen the bodies of Lu Bin and Qin Jiang."
The "truth" that Li Mingke could see that they could not see was obviously far more than just the true face of the monster.
Before the copy was about to end, Mu Yu actually thought about the situation of Lu Bin and Qin Jiang.
First of all, they did not find the bodies of these two people, so they were definitely not killed directly by the copy. It is very likely that they also turned into human candles.
But again, they didn't find the bodies of these two people, so the monster obviously didn't blow out their human candles.
The problem is, these two people got into trouble earlier than Hong Yang and Ye Sui. If they also turned into reverse candles and continued to burn, they should have burned to their full length long ago.
But the rest of them searched the grove so many times, and apart from the two candles that Ye Sui and Hong Yang transformed into, they did not find any other "very long candles".
So is there a possibility that -
In different situations, the candles that players turn into are also different?
Now they already know that no matter whether it is Hong Yang, Ye Sui or Jiang He, they were all turned into reverse candles because they violated the rules.
So could it be that Lu Bin and Qin Jiang turned into different candles because they were paired incorrectly?
For example - what they turned into were normal burning candles?
The flames burned from their heads to their feet, so the monster didn't need to blow them out. When the flames covered their heads, they were all dead.
...Of course, this was all based on the situations of Ye Sui and Hong Yang, and Mu Yu only came up with this analysis at this moment.
Li Mingke found the bodies of Lu Bin and Qin Jiang, and discovered the most important secret of this copy from their bodies. If it weren't for Li Mingke's discovery, the eight of them might not have been able to get out of this copy smoothly.
A luxury car drove up to them and stopped.
The car window was lowered, Yan Shaowen sat in the driver's seat and said to them, "I have something to do today, so I'll leave first. When you have time in the next few days, tell me the ins and outs of these copies."
He didn't want to be dragged into such a troublesome matter, but now that he has been dragged into it, Yan Shaowen naturally would not let himself fall into a passive situation.
Mu Yu suddenly asked: "Yan Shaowen, do you remember Lu Zhongnian?"
Yan Shaowen paused, tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, and said only three words.
"I'm sorry."
Mu Yu didn't react much after hearing this.
He nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the road, I'll contact you later."
Yan Shaowen drove away, and Su Mingyun whispered, "I saw that he spoke to Lu Zhongnian in a very familiar tone in the dungeon..."
So you haven’t remembered it yet?
Mu Yu knew that although Yan Shaowen looked humorous and approachable, he was actually the most difficult one to deal with.
He is calm only because he is smart.
Now thinking back, the friendship between him and Lu Chongnian is probably not exactly what outsiders think.
*
Around midnight, four new partners joined the "Win 100 Million Tomorrow" group, all of whom were brought in by Mu Yu.
Jiang Shuyue: "... woke me up in the middle of the night."
Jing Qiao: "This is..."
Chang Sen: “Again…”
Li Ke: "...A copy appeared???"
Su Mingyun: “[Cat crying]”
Su Mingyun: "'Suddenly' Dafa really works, but when we realized that we were really caught in 'suddenly' this time, it was too late [sadness]"
Jing Qiao: "Oh my God, Mingyun, you got caught this time?"
Su Mingyun: “[Please hug me]”
Bird Brother: "Is it when I just said I suddenly wanted to order takeout?"
Fu Xiaoju: "Or when I said I suddenly wanted to go to the old bathhouse in District 1 to take a bath?"
Jiang Shuyue: "...Is it Yinghu Park...?"
Su Mingyun: "@Jiang Shuyuebingo"
Li Ke: "Not at the Polytechnic this time???"
Su Mingyun: “Yes.”
The group went into an uproar.
Bird Brother: "Has our Polytechnic finally escaped the clutches of the devil? [touched][crying]"
Jiang Shuyue: "[Picture] I just studied the map of the university town. Look at what I circled. The Polytechnic Institute and Yinghu Park are actually very close to the Wenshan Club. The core of the problem is indeed the Wenshan Club."
Jiang Shuyue: "The location of the dungeon is centered on Wenshan Club and is gradually spreading outward."
Chang Sen: [Frightened]
Jing Qiao: "Wait, does that mean that no matter where you go in the university town, you may randomly enter a dungeon..."
Jiang Shuyue: "I'm afraid so."
Yu Hui: "I think I should just take a leave of absence..."
Bird Brother: "@Yu Hui, what if the copies spread to the whole country in the future..."
Yu Hui: “…………”
Yu Hui: "How about we just destroy the Wenshan Club together?"
Yan Shaowen: “…………”
Chang Sen: "Who is this new friend?"
Fu Xiaoju: "Young Master of Wenshan Club."
Yu Hui: “…”
Chang Sen: "..."
Jiang Shuyue: “…”
Bird Brother: “…”
Everyone: “…………Excuse me, boss!!!”

With the arrival of new members in the group, everyone has to conduct a new round of science popularization.
Fortunately, Jiang Shu had read enough papers - he had already compiled all the content they had discussed into a PDF, and now he just had to forward it to the newcomers.
This PDF starts with a discussion of the possible causes of the duplicates and goes on to discuss how to determine whether a rule is true or false.
From the logical reasoning of the location of the monster generator in each copy, to the inference of the meaning behind the Demon Moon pattern.
Big title, small title, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Every item is carefully analyzed.
That's all a graduation thesis is about.
Wang Jia and Xu Dong were stunned.
Wang Jia: "As expected of a top student at Lotus University..."
Xu Dong: "Why do I feel like I'm reviewing for an exam? [terrified] [crying]"
Chang Sen: "Who says it's not true? I haven't studied so seriously since I graduated from high school [smoking]"
The group is bustling with activity, and the magical thing is that the styles of the new members who have joined are just like everyone else in the group, and there doesn't seem to be a feeling of "a bunch of unlucky people gathering together for warmth" at all.
After actually experiencing the copy and breaking free from it, they all changed their mindsets and tried to face the future that they were about to face, which would become even more dangerous, with a positive and optimistic attitude.
During these few days, Mu Yu, Ye Sui and Hong Yang were all silent.
Jiang Shuyue @Muyu in the group several times, but got no response, so he messaged him privately to ask "What happened?"
Mu Yu: "It's okay, I'm just not in a good mood."
Jiang Shuyue took a long time to reply: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"You are just an ordinary person. It is amazing if you can save one more person."
"Yeah, I know. Thank you."
Mu Yu was lying on the bed in the dormitory, holding a thousand paper cranes in her hands.
In the copy, after Lu Zhongnian lifted his red veil, he handed Lu Zhongnian a thousand paper cranes made of letter paper that he had prepared earlier.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chongnian also gave him a thousand paper cranes.
The paper crane was successfully taken out of the copy.
At this moment, Mu Yu was holding the paper crane and looking at it quietly.
The phone vibrated.
He thought it was Jiang Shuyue who sent the message again, so he picked it up and saw that it was from Hong Yang.
This guy was silent for a few days, and it seemed like he finally figured it out and recovered.
Hong Yang: "Come down and get to work."
He sent a photo. Mu Yudian opened the large picture and was stunned.
…What Hong Yang was holding was actually a stack of posters, and they were… Lu Zhongnian’s solo posters???
Judging from the background, Hong Yang has already arrived downstairs of his dormitory?!
Mu Yu sat up from the bed.
Ye Sui also sent a message: "Yangyang and I are downstairs of your dormitory."
"Let's go find our old classmates together."
