Chapter 79 The reversed entry and exit system will ensure the safety of every NPC...
"Wait a moment!"
The gate is one-way. Once a player enters, there is no way for them to return.
Leung Yung's body reacted first.
She grabbed Gu Keke's clothes at the waist and pulled her back sharply.
Because of the force, she was jolted into Liang Jun's arms. The impact was quite significant; both of them groaned softly, rubbing the spots where they had collided.
Seeing Liang Xun and Gu Keke blocking the exit, and wondering what the two were up to, the players behind them curiously peeked out and gathered together, including the green-clad girl who was about to leave, all of whom were surrounded in the middle.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Cailei leaned out from the back, a faint smile on his face, "You suddenly blocked us here, don't you want us to pass?"
Liang Jun snorted coldly, "You don't need to judge others by your own standards. Every word you say is sarcastic—don't you know how to speak properly?"
Having endured it all along, Tang Cailei didn't expect her to retaliate. His lips twitched twice, and surprisingly, he didn't say anything more.
Liang Jun was simply driven to desperation.
They clearly had more pressing issues at hand, but Tang Cailei insisted on jumping in and trying to smooth things over.
If people's hearts aren't on the same page, how can they work together towards the same goal?
Taking advantage of this moment, Luo Chuange and Shao Feng squeezed forward. Although the encirclement became smaller, they used their bodies to keep Tang Cailei behind the crowd, minimizing the possibility of him causing further trouble.
While all of this was happening, the girl in green stood obediently to the side.
She had intended to leave the moment the players gathered, but someone grabbed her clothes. The girl in green looked down and scanned the area for a while, but couldn't find the culprit. When she looked up again, she was already surrounded in the very center.
At this moment, she lowered her head timidly, like a little girl who had done something wrong, and even her voice became softer and more gentle.
“If you still have any unresolved issues, you can take care of them yourselves first,” the girl in green said, her smile fading as she looked innocent. “Once you’re done, you can just leave from here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
She turned around, about to leave Qi Zhixia's side.
As she lifted her foot, Liang Jun questioned, "Where's your employee ID?"
She seemed to have anticipated Liang Jun's thoughts, and immediately turned and ran, trying to break through the crowd.
She was short and moved quickly, making it impossible for an average adult to catch her immediately.
But for Qi Zhixia, who is in a wheelchair, this is not a difficult task.
The two are almost on the same level.
As early as when Liang Xun called Gu Keke to stop her, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong, so she took it upon herself to keep the green-clad maid who was originally planning to leave.
But to her surprise, the other party became extremely suspicious of everything, which made Qi Zhixia pay even closer attention.
Before anyone else could react, Qi Zhixia stretched out her arm and heavily blocked the green-clad girl's abdomen.
Since she was immune to all physical damage, Qi Zhixia wasn't afraid at all. On the contrary, the girl in green hadn't expected this attack and was once again stunned and punched to the very center.
At this moment, her seemingly harmless appearance appears extremely ironic.
Seeing herself thrust into the center of public opinion, the girl in green pouted, looking quite aggrieved.
"What kind of employee ID card are you referring to, tourist?"
“Normal staff members in the amusement park all wear a metal badge on their chest to identify themselves.”
Liang Xun stretched out her finger, keeping a certain distance from the girl in green, and pointed to her bare chest. "But you have nothing there. There's not even a trace of a name tag on this outfit."
She withdrew her hand and instead placed her hands on her hips in preparation for any unexpected situations.
"Are you really a staff member?" Liang Jun asked coldly.
"Of course I am..."
The girl in green looked like she was about to cry.
She was already petite, and now she was surrounded by a group of adults in the center, making it seem as if they were bullying a child.
"I just happened to be on a last-minute shift today and I was in such a rush that I forgot my name tag. The clothes are brand new work uniforms that I haven't worn before, which is why there's no trace of the name tag you mentioned."
The girl in green raised her face, her large, watery eyes looking directly at Liang Xuan.
"Big sister, I'm really just an ordinary staff member, please don't make things difficult for me anymore..."
They stopped calling her "tourist" and started calling her "big sister" instead.
Liang Jun was both amused and exasperated. Did even the NPCs know that you had to be friendly to get things done?
That's so incredibly "human touch"...
But she clearly wasn't going to let it slide like that.
NPCs hold their lives in their hands; how could they joke about something like this?
She shook her head and presented all the evidence.
"First of all, the yellow-clad staff member who initially greeted us wasn't telling the truth. The most obvious example is that when the project was about to start, he told us we only had sixty seconds to prepare; but in reality, the swing didn't start even after sixty seconds. The real mechanism was the remote control in his hand."
"Based on our known rules, both the third and fourth rules emphasize that staff must be 'correct'; in other words, by working backward, we can conclude that there will be 'incorrect' staff in this project."
Seeing the tears in the green-clad girl's eyes gradually receding, Liang Xuan's tone became even more resolute.
"Initially, I was already suspicious of the yellow-clad staff member, but based on the principle that 'the system won't harm NPCs,' we still imitated his method of clearing the game and managed to survive. But that doesn't mean I'll completely believe what he says—"
Liang Jun looked directly into the other person's bloodshot eyes.
"They also do not trust the people he brings."
The girl in green was speechless.
Her fingers kept twirling the new work clothes she mentioned, her face flushed a deep red, which clashed sharply with the green of her outfit.
"The rules say we should follow the correct staff and leave through the correct exit. But right now, the staff's identities are questionable. Do you think we'll leave here obediently?"
Liang Xun stared at the green-clad girl who was biting her lip tightly.
"Since you say this is the exit, will you leave from here?"
Upon hearing this, the girl in green looked up in surprise.
She shook her head frantically, like a rattle-drum, "No...we don't go this way, we have a special employee entrance..."
"oh?"
Surprisingly, Liang Jun calmed down and patiently asked, "Did the staff member in yellow just now also leave through the exclusive staff passage?"
"Yes... no!"
Shaking your head is not an option, and nodding is not an option either.
At this moment, she is more like a single-threaded program. If the instructions she needs to process become too complex, she will fall into this dilemma.
She seemed to be trying every possible way to exonerate herself, so she hurriedly argued, "But this gate in front of us is a one-way gate, which means it can only go out and not go in—if it's not a specially designed exit, then what is it?"
People are most prone to making linguistic errors when they are flustered.
Liang Jun could easily dismantle her fragile logic without even expending any effort.
"According to you, the exit is the place where you can only go out and not go in, and the entrance is the place where you can only go in and not go out—"
She bent down to be at eye level with the girl in green. "That thing that can go out and in, is it both an exit and an entrance?"
The girl in green's pupils dilated briefly.
Liang Jun ignored her unusual behavior and continued, "I remember the staff member in yellow left through the same passage we came in through. Since it's a two-way passage, and he could leave normally, can't we go out that way too?"
The other person trembled visibly.
She was no longer the innocent and lovely little girl, but rather covered her painful face with her hands in a near-mad state.
"You can't go that way..."
Her voice also became hoarse, as if she had aged decades in an instant.
The girl in green teetered on the brink of collapse, her mind starting to wander. "The rules say... right, the rules say you can't leave through the entrance passage..."
"Since the staff can pass through smoothly, then it is the correct exit for us."
The system will ensure the safety of every NPC.
Liang Jun stopped wasting her breath on her.
The other party could change at any moment, and it was quite a distance from the gate they had come from.
Make the most of every minute and head towards the escape route.
Liang Jun helped push Qi Zhixia's wheelchair. Seeing that Shao Feng was a little weak, Tang Cailei took Jiang Chunhua off his back without saying a word.
It was rare for everyone to be united, and just like when they arrived, they all rushed towards the so-called "entrance" in a large group.
It seemed the other party had no idea the player would leave from here; the familiar gate wasn't locked at all.
Liang Jun threw away the loose iron chain hanging on it and pushed open the gate to escape from this place.
Behind us lies an abyss, before us lies hope.
And they are running on the road that symbolizes life.
My feet stepped onto that muddy ground once more, but the shadow of the swing was no longer looming overhead.
Liang Jun rested her hands on her knees, bent over and panting, when a pair of yellow sneakers covered in mud suddenly appeared in front of her.
She looked up and saw that familiar bald head again.
The staff somehow managed to get another hat, and as if it were a recurring design, they slowly put it on under Liang Yun's watchful gaze.
His eyes were once again hidden in the shadow of his hat brim. "Distinguished tourists, congratulations on your successful escape from here."
For some reason, hearing him say this always evoked a strange sense of sadness in me.
Before she could think about it, the rhythmic sound of gears entered her ears again.
The high-altitude swing is running again!
"Are they the new players?"
Liang Jun was so bright in the sunlight that she could barely open her eyes.
Yes and no.
The staff member in the yellow uniform chuckled, "This clever tourist, instead of worrying about others, why don't you worry about your friends first..."
He pursed his lips and looked behind Liang Jun.
Liang Jun turned around, puzzled, only to find that Wang Jianping, who had been able to walk normally just moments before, was now unconscious and collapsed at the gate.
Just as she was about to ask a staff member for clarification, a thick fog suddenly appeared out of nowhere, completely obscuring her vision.
In the thick fog, it seemed as if someone was calling their own name.
Liang Yan was unable to react.
Her limbs felt as if they had been ripped out, and she could only lie limp on the ground when she was conscious.
Then, she counted down, preparing to fall into a coma.
