Chapter 13
Before he reached the hall, Sun Yuancheng was blinded by the strong wind blowing from the narrow corridor beside the hall. He moved along the wall while trying to reach out and grab the hem of Li Ziyue's shirt. Unexpectedly, he touched Zhang Lian as soon as he stretched out his hand.
Zhang Lian stood between him and Li Ziyue. When he felt someone touching him, he lowered his eyes and looked at Sun Yuancheng expressionlessly.
Sun Yuancheng thought that he was one year older than Zhang Lian, and logically should not be intimidated by this man. However, he still swallowed his saliva cowardly, and then crawled along the wall with difficulty, "physically disabled but mentally strong".
The wind was so strong that Li Ziyue was annoyed by the tangled hair on his forehead. He thought about shaving his head bald after the copy.
He used one hand to steady his flying black hair, and felt someone poking his shoulder. He subconsciously turned his head to look.
Zhang Lian took out several colorful cartoon hairpins from his "Doraemon" treasure box and pinned a few Hello Kitty hairpins on his forehead first. When he saw Li Ziyue turning his head, he grabbed the back of his head with his hands without saying a word, making him unable to move, and then pinned the hair on his forehead with two green frog hairpins.
Li Ziyue: “……?”
[I am so happy, Brother Li is so gorgeous]
[No, how can Zhang Lian be so partial? Why doesn’t he also give the two people next to him a hairpin? (dog head)]
[Shh, the wind is too strong, Zhang Lian can't see the two people next to him]
If Zhang Lian took out a few packs of sanitary napkins from his backpack in the future and explained that they were for use in shoes to absorb sweat during military training in the campus copy, Li Ziyue would not be surprised.
Li Ziyue turned his head away, and although he felt uncomfortable, he did not take the frog off his head.
Zhang Lian didn't say anything behind him, but secretly winked.
Li Ziyue moved to the back door of the room and saw that it was pitch black inside. He stretched out his hand to test it, but was pushed out by a stronger wind.
There seemed to be an invisible wind barrier at the back door, and people could only move past it with difficulty and were unable to go deeper to explore.
He looked up at the front door and found that its structure had changed.
In other words, the room looked as if it had no front door.
A long giant cylinder similar to a ventilation duct had "grown" in front. The cylinder was slightly curved and connected directly to the back door of the room further forward.
And that room was exactly the fruit and vegetable storage room where Li Ziyue and Sun Yuancheng had hidden before.
Glancing sideways, I saw that the window next to the corridor in the fruit and vegetable storage room was wide open. A stronger wind was blowing in through the window. The wooden window was blown directly against the surrounding walls, making a continuous "clang clang" sound.
But when I glanced through the window, I found that it was empty. I didn't know where the fruits and vegetables that were previously placed there had gone.
"Hiss," Sun Yuancheng exclaimed from behind, "What a strange house structure. It looks like the fruit and vegetable storage room and this windy house are connected through the front and back doors."
"Well," Li Ziyue nodded, and fixed the frog hairpin that Zhang Lian had not fixed on his forehead. "If my guess is correct, the other side,"
He clicked on the virtual structure map of the underground space and pointed to the unnamed room on the right side of the hall. "This room will also be windy. It is connected to the front and back doors of the fruit and vegetable storage room."
"Ah?" Sun Yuancheng was stunned. "Brother, why do you guess like that?"
Li Ziyue led everyone to the back and walked towards the house on the other side of the hall. At the same time, his hand drew two circles on the virtual structure diagram.
[This posture... I understand. Teacher Yue's small class has begun.]
[My friends, who wants melon seeds, benches, and anti-drowsiness wind oil? ]
[Oh my god, I didn’t understand the class that Teacher Yue taught in the last instance. Where is the class representative? Remember to summarize the notes and post them in the live broadcast room later~]
"Don't think of this virtual structure map as some kind of underground space. Just look at it as a map."
Li Ziyue traced the front and back with his fingers: "The front end is small, where air flows in, and the back end is also small, where water flows out."
"The left side of the upper middle part is the most important place in the entire area - the lobby, and the lower end is where food will be circulated."
"Below, there is a long object that is bent, folded and piled together to form a "Z", which is related to the theme of the entire copy - a pseudo-human, or so to speak."
"people."
"What can you think of? What similarities are there between these points and people themselves?"
[Thinking of...thinking of something...what should I eat later? ]
[The one in front, if you touch your body, you will understand what Brother Li is talking about]
[What are you talking about? I'm not narcissistic. Who would touch themselves for no reason? Oh my god]
[Ah? I'm already touching it]
Li Ziyue moved a little closer to Sun Yuancheng's throat: "The top is small and ventilated."
Moving down further: "Connect the two lungs."
"The hall corresponds to the heart, and below the heart is the stomach."
"Brother..." Sun Yuancheng followed his instructions, and an absurd idea naturally popped up in his mind. He stepped back uncomfortably, with goose bumps all over his body, "No... No way..."
"Here," Li Ziyue pointed at his abdomen, "the intestines, corresponding to the 'Z'-shaped room area."
“And at the very bottom, water is flowing out.”
"We can now boldly speculate that the entire underground space is constructed based on the simulation of human organs. This can also be related to the theme of the dungeon," Li Ziyue said with a serious expression, "but what does this have to do with the final solution of the puzzle?"
"Oh my god..." Sun Yuancheng clung to the wall in panic, looking up at the dark ceiling of the corridor, and said in disbelief, "Brother, are you saying that we are now 'inside the human body'?"
"Not really," Li Ziyue shook his head, "It's just an abstract simulation."
He suddenly asked Sun Yuancheng: "What is your world like?"
"Well," Sun Yuancheng recalled, "it was just a very ordinary residential building..."
Li Ziyue nodded and did not ask in detail. "A simple infinite flow dungeon scenario is a complete model. For example, a school will be built based on the conclusions drawn from big data analysis."
"A classroom must be equipped with desks, chairs and benches. There must be NPCs such as teachers, deans, and dormitory managers in the school. The main quests are also very formulaic, either about school violence, or about the dark conflicts between teachers and students, or the legend of the campus pen fairy..."
"For the dungeon scenes with medium or higher difficulty, you are selected," Li Ziyue looked at Sun Yuancheng, then moved his gaze to Yu Yu, and finally fixed on Zhang Lian, "You, and you, and me, or the world built by other contestants is the basic framework, and the main quests also vary depending on the builder."
"If I have been hurt by domestic violence, my world will most likely be an expansion of my original home address, and the main quest will also be related to my trauma. However, if my mental state is very unstable, it is not impossible that my world will be as abstract as my father's fist hitting my mother."
"So," Li Ziyue rubbed his brows and said a little tiredly, "If you want to solve the main task, you may have to guess what kind of trauma the world master has suffered."
"It is basically impossible for a normal person to build a world based on human organs. Of course... if he is a medical student who is going crazy because of his final exam review..."
Li Ziyue waved his hand: "Then just pretend I didn't say anything."
[Only masochists love to study]
[I totally agree with Brother Li’s guess. I vote for the crazy medical student… (wiping tears)]
[Friends, don’t listen to those people’s nonsense. Studying medicine is great. A 20-year-old medical student looks like an 80-year-old grandfather/mother. You can save yourself 60 years of detour.]
Everyone came to a sheltered room, and as soon as they stepped in, they heard the system speak.
[The pseudo-human is confirmed dead, data is being updated, and humans will be resurrected soon]
Li Ziyue raised his eyebrows and glanced at the lower right corner of the electronic screen hanging in the room, which showed that there were three hours left until the end of tonight's copy.
"Others are having conflicts, so we have to step up our efforts as well."
He took out five English test papers and a stack of draft paper from his backpack, and slid a black signing pen across the paper.
"We now have three key clues and one hidden clue, and we speculate that the background is related to human trafficking."
"'I' was very thin and called the other person 'mother', so I guess it was a child."
"My mother is five years older than me. According to normal human reproduction, it is obviously impossible. Considering the background of trafficking, my mother may not be related to me by blood. We were both trafficked."
“So there are still these problems.”
"First of all: 'Two people went in' and 'One person came out', what does that mean specifically? According to the context, the people who went in should be 'me' and my mother, so who is the one who came out?"
Li Ziyue drew a wavy line on the draft: "According to the reconstructed text, the mother hid the 'me', so the one who went out should be the mother."
"Finally we return to the main mission itself."
"Where am I..."
Li Ziyue lowered his head to paint, and before he could finish his words, he felt a shadow coming from above. He looked up suddenly and saw Zhang Lian reaching out and taking back the frog hairpin that was still on his head.
Without the restraint of the hairpin, the two strands of hair on Li Ziyue's forehead stuck up uncontrollably. Li Ziyue was about to reach out to smooth it down, but Zhang Lian was one step ahead of him.
With a calm and even open look on his face, he inserted his fingers into Li Ziyue's smooth hair. In front of the stunned eyes of everyone in the audience, he calmly and confidently smoothed out the bangs in front of Li Ziyue's eyes, and patted the top of Li Ziyue's head with satisfaction as if he was patting a dog.
"Huh..." Sun Yuancheng wanted to see it, but he knew he couldn't watch it in this situation, so he covered Yu Yu's eyes with his hands and pretended to be furious and lectured Yu Yu, "Yu Yu, why are you so ignorant that you don't know how to close your eyes and need me to cover them for you. Now, I'm sacrificing myself to help you... I am very aware of covering my own eyes, but I only have one pair of hands... So in general, Yu Yu, you are still ignorant."
Yu Yu: “……?” Actually, I had already closed my eyes.
Li Ziyue was talking about business with a serious face, but Zhang Lian acted as if he had no tact. Why did he have to take out the hairpin at any other time but now? Li Ziyue was about to get angry again, but he saw Zhang Lian took out two English test papers from him without him knowing.
Li Ziyue thought to himself, you are such a bad guy, Zhang Lian. There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you just come here. He became even angrier and was ready to settle all the old and new grudges together. He looked at Zhang Lian as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Unexpectedly, after the last criticism, Zhang Lian also made progress. He spread out the test paper, and found that he had carefully outlined the key points and difficulties in the long reading section. He also wrote his ideas for answering the questions in pencil on the stems. Only the column for filling in options was left blank - meaning that Li Ziyue could refer to his ideas for answering the questions to analyze the article. Everything was outlined in pencil so that Li Ziyue could erase them easily.
Li Ziyue was rarely silent for two seconds, then the tips of his ears turned red. He turned his face away, took the two test papers, and was silent for a long time before he said awkwardly: "...Thank you."
Zhang Lian pursed his lips and blinked twice slowly at Li Ziyue.
"Sun Yuancheng, have you seen enough?" Li Ziyue suddenly shouted.
Sun Yuancheng felt a chill running up his spine to the back of his head. He shuddered: "Uh... I didn't... Actually, it's just... I feel that I am very innocent..."
"I didn't ask you that." Li Ziyue looked up at him and suddenly smiled very amiably. "After listening to my analysis just now, what do you think?"
Although Sun Yuancheng seemed to be still sitting upright, he had actually already started writing his tenth suicide note in his mind.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked by Li Ziyue's smile.
[God damn it, please spare me, I'm just a viewer watching the infinite stream live broadcast, how can I have the nerve to be called up by the teacher to answer questions in class]
[Question Sun Yuancheng, Become Sun Yuancheng, Understand Sun Yuancheng (Amen)]
Sun Yuancheng shook his head from side to side for a long time, his brows knitted, his mouth turned up, his cleverness yet cunning, he looked like he was thinking in great pain: "Uh... my idea is very simple... this matter, ah, in my opinion, is very easy, I mean... ah, if... well, let's analyze it this way... you see... first of all... then..."
"Ouch!"
Sun Yuancheng rubbed his head, lowered his head and sobbed twice, feeling that there was no one in the world more wronged and innocent than him.
"Stick to the topic and don't waste any clues."
Li Ziyue wrote a few words on the paper.
Sun Yuancheng glanced over——Main Quest Title:
"return"
"As for the word '回'," Li Ziyue paused for two seconds, "please separate it and look at it."
"There's a bite of bread in the mouth."
"There are people hidden within people."
