Chapter 85: The Colorful City 14 He has privileges here
An Rao felt that he had never been so crazy in his life. Just a kiss was enough to make his heart unable to bear it. He seemed to be possessed just now, and the outburst of emotions was completely out of his control. An Rao tightly grasped Bai Chuan's hand and suddenly let go. After opening his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was Bai Chuan's mottled white hair, which stung An Rao's eyes.
"What were you thinking about just now?" An Rao didn't bother to look at the results of his experiment. He grabbed Bai Chuan and asked. His hands had been plasticized and it hurt Bai Chuan's arm.
"So you know what pink represents." Baichuan changed the subject.
"You know it too, don't you?" An Rao looked back at his pink snow which had accumulated to almost one-fifth of its thickness, then strode towards Baichuan's crystal hourglass, and then stopped in front of the layer of blue snow which was almost the same height as his pink snow.
"What on earth were you thinking about just now?" the young man turned around and questioned. His face, which always had a smile on it, was unusually serious at this moment. The corners of his mouth were slightly bent downward, and one could even say he was depressed.
Even if Baichuan has feelings, they are not pink like himself. Li Ke once said that in a movie he had seen, blue represents sadness. Does it also apply here? But what is he sad about?
When kissing someone, why is he sad? Is he sad because he doesn't like it? Or is he sad because... he hates it?
An Rao stared at Bai Chuan's face closely, and clenched her hands slightly behind her back. From a rational point of view, it was best that Bai Chuan didn't like her, and she should have stayed away from him. However, she seemed a little unwilling, at least she was unwilling that he hated her.
"Have you noticed that the Colorful City will amplify our emotions and make people more likely to act on their emotions?" Baichuan tried to pull An Rao away from his research on the blue sand.
More likely to be emotional?
An Rao felt his face getting hot. Although he knew that what Bai Chuan said was the truth, and that he couldn't continue to indulge his feelings at this moment, and that what he needed most at this moment was to be calm, it was the first time he kissed someone - although his original intention was to test what the pink represented, and the first time he loved someone - although it might be because of the influence of the Colorful City, he still couldn't help but get angry.
"Maybe." After saying that, An Rao turned around and left. Bai Chuan's rationality made him feel wronged and embarrassed. At this moment, he just wanted to stay away from Bai Chuan, the farther the better.
When he reached the third floor of the apprentice dormitory area, An Rao saw Papa standing at the door of his room.
"Are you satisfied with my arrangement?" Papa stood in the shadows with a cane and asked with a smile, "I promised to give you the real No. 14. You should also know what I want."
"I didn't promise you anything. I just wanted to use Baichuan to test what that pink color represents." An Rao shrugged.
"Really?" Papa's grey eyes fell on An Rao's beautiful collarbone wrapped in lace. The young man's pale skin was still tinged with pink, which could not fool anyone. "Do you remember what I told you? Love is about being close to each other involuntarily."
Papa approached Anrao, and placed the tip of the cold diamond cane on the pink patch of clavicle, rubbing it intriguingly until the hard diamond left a bright red mark on the skin: "Love is the easiest emotion to be physicalized."
"I give you and Fourteen the privilege of dating freely, but the price is your feelings." Papa is a snake without feelings. "You are destined to die here, so why don't you give me what you can give me before you die? You can enjoy your love before you die, and I can get the color I want. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"
Before dinner, Shi Yirou stared at An Rao with a pale face: "Doctor Lin, your hair! And the hair of other players in the restaurant is almost white, including mine..."
"Ah, Brother Bai's hair has turned a lot whiter!" Shi Yirou was a little horrified. Doctor Lin and Bai Chuan were the calmest and most collected people in all the games she had played. If even they were caught, it was hard to imagine how low the survival rate of this game would be.
"Try to stay calm as much as possible. The rule of death in the Colorful City is emotion. The more your emotions fluctuate, the more sand representing emotions will accumulate in the crystal hourglass, and your hair will become whiter and whiter. When the sand fills up your hair and it turns white, you will die." An Rao reminded in a low voice.
"Ah!" Shi Yirou was shocked, and a chill ran down her spine. Emotions are the most difficult to control, or even the most uncontrollable things. Just now, she was clearly told the truth and the rules of death, but weren't her subconscious shock and fear just emotional fluctuations?
No one can control their emotions, and those players who are killed are just more emotional! The helpless part of Colorful City is that it is a horror game that plays with human life, so players are bound to have many emotions, the most common and unavoidable of which is fear and terror, and fear and terror will accelerate death. When facing the coming of death, players will only be more afraid and terrified. This is an unsolvable vicious circle.
"I'm very relieved about Su Ming," An Rao suddenly laughed. "His crystal tube is colorful, as colorful as the hair of the citizens of the Colorful City. But no matter what color it is, it's only a thin layer. This child's emotions come and go quickly, so he's not something to worry about."
As soon as Su Ming was mentioned, he arrived. The boy in a white robe and blue pants saw An Rao and Shi Yirou and dived towards them like a seagull seeing a fish.
"Ah, boss!" Su Ming stared at the three people in front of him, "Your hair has turned a lot whiter!"
"Yes, don't worry, everything will be fine once you get out." An Rao looked at Su Ming's black hair, and he and Shi Yirou smiled knowingly. The boy was so heartless.
"You two should remember what I said. No matter what situation you encounter, you must remain indifferent and calm." An Rao warned.
"Why?" Su Ming refused to do it.
"Just do as I say." An Rao tapped Su Ming's head.
Baichuan was standing in the distance. He was too tall and was wearing armor. Every time he entered the restaurant, he brought a murderous aura with him, which made other players either feel fearful or jealous of him for being too pretentious.
Baichuan did not come over to talk to everyone. He just glanced at An Rao indifferently and walked straight to his seat and sat down. It was not that he didn't want to, but he felt that what An Rao needed more at the moment was to calm down and not have any more emotional fluctuations.
Shi Yirou looked at Bai Chuan sitting down and sighed, "If emotional fluctuations can affect the sand in the hourglass and the color of hair, I can't think of any situation that would cause Brother Bai's emotions to fluctuate... He is such a calm person!"
"I don't know either," An Rao looked at the people who had already sat down at the dining table. Bai Chuan's white hair was blinding to him. "I don't know what kind of emotions he would have."
After the dinner prayer, Papa tapped his red wine glass and said, "I have two announcements to make. First, number one will move into room number fourteen. Second, all classes will be cancelled starting tonight. You can walk around the castle freely and enjoy the beauty of the Castle of Light."
Hearing this, there was an uproar at the table. Everyone looked at each other with disbelief and suspicion in their eyes. But in the end, everyone's eye contact turned into jealousy towards An Rao and Bai Chuan. Why can the two of them live together? Why?
An Rao looked at the person sitting opposite him. He couldn't guess what Bai Chuan's attitude towards him was. This was a question he had never thought about before entering the Colorful City. Bai Chuan was just a good teammate who was suitable to fight side by side. He was also someone he would avoid whenever possible in the real world or even in the Happy Square. It didn't matter what kind of feelings Bai Chuan had for him, or what kind of feelings he had for Bai Chuan. He didn't need to waste his time on someone who would definitely go their separate ways after leaving the amusement park.
But now it’s different. He saw the blue snow that belonged to Baichuan, and he couldn’t deceive himself into not caring.
An Rao knew clearly that the thick layer of pink sand on his body was all caused by Baichuan. It was a pity that Baichuan did not return her the same pink color. Such a blatant color difference seemed like a ruthless mockery and a public execution.
"Why can the two of them live together?!" a player couldn't help but ask. They couldn't talk since the meal hadn't started yet.
The Colorful City will magnify people's emotions. A jealous person will become more unable to control his emotions under the deeper and deeper influence of the Colorful City. He has reached the point where he cannot control himself even in front of Papa. I am afraid that he will be in great danger tonight.
After the player blurted out the question, he realized that he was questioning and offending Papa, and immediately covered his mouth with a look of horror.
"He is the most outstanding apprentice, and excellent apprentices always enjoy privileges here." Papa showed great tolerance and patience at this moment, and answered the player's questions seriously. Papa snapped his fingers elegantly behind him, and the waiter immediately came forward to pour wine for each player, and a special glass of golden champagne was prepared for An Rao.
"Let's celebrate my most outstanding apprentice together." Papa proposed with a toast.
Not wanting to disobey Papa, An Rao raised the only glass of champagne in the room, clinked glasses with Papa, and drank it all under Papa's smiling gaze. The wine tasted fine, just like ordinary champagne. An Rao shook his head gently at Bai Chuan who was looking at him inquiringly, indicating that he was fine.
After dinner, the players who had been completely domesticated fell into a new state of confusion, as if they were animals that had been locked in cages for a long time and were at a loss after being released back into the nature.
There are no more classes. What should I do now that there are no more classes? Where should I go now?
"Should we consider going out for a walk?" Li Ke suggested, pushing his glasses.
"Go out? Have you forgotten the first apprentice rule that Papa told us after we got here? Enjoy life in the Holy Light Castle, which means you can't go out."
"Yeah, and Papa is obviously the boss of this level. The exit will only be in the Holy Light Castle. What am I going to do outside? To see the rainbow candies all over the street?"
"Instead of discussing whether we can go out, let's think about why this androgynous Apprentice No. 1 has the privilege in front of our Papa."
"Yeah, why? We all attend classes and study the same way, why are you superior to us?"
"Fuck, I remember you were one of the first people to enter this game. You must have hidden some clues!"
"Look at him, he looks neither male nor female, he must have used some despicable tricks!"
"Damn it, if anyone kills me, I will be the first one to not let him go!"
Just as Su Ming was about to fight back, Shi Yirou stopped him and said, "Have you forgotten what your boss said just now?"
"Then, are we just going to watch my boss get bullied?!" Although Su Ming was no longer excited, he frowned.
"Look, Brother Bai didn't say anything. They must have their own ideas." Shi Yirou comforted him. It is too difficult for a human being to be free of worries and indifferent. However, Bai Chuan was able to remain calm when An Rao was attacked. He was really inhuman!
"Everyone, I really doubt how you managed to get through the first three games. Did you rely on points or flattery?" An Rao wiped his hands with a tissue and teased, "The current situation is clear as day. I suggest you all go see an ophthalmologist after you get out. Oh, but you have to survive to get out."
I originally wanted to keep to myself and live my own life, but since you attack me for no reason, don't blame me for being rude.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the players who were already jealous and resentful of the privileges enjoyed by Apprentice No. 1 instantly exploded with anger, and the voices cursing An Rao became louder and louder, using the most filthy methods, until someone rushed forward and raised his hand to hit An Rao, and Baichuan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the man's wrist.
The man struggled but failed. He suddenly laughed and stared at Baichuan with resentment in his eyes and said, "My arm has become a puppet. My whole body is almost a puppet. I am also a decoration of the castle. If you crush my arm, what do you think Papa will do?"
"Since he lets me live with the privileged Apprentice No. 1, do you think I have any privileges?" Baichuan asked coldly, and the crisp sound of plastic being crushed could be heard from his hands.
“Aaaaaaah——!”
Amid the players' terrified screams, An Rao came over and held Bai Chuan's hand, gently shaking his head and saying, "No."
Baichuan let go of the man's hand and turned around to leave with An Rao when he heard the man rubbing his arm and muttering, "What a bastard, he looks like a fairy, he must have sold himself to get this privilege! Ugh!"
This time, even An Rao didn't have time to react. He only saw the black cloak in front of him fluttering up, and the man's arm had been crushed by Baichuan.
"Even if you are a decoration of the castle, it is difficult for you to be priceless."
"Baichuan let go of the player's hand as he screamed, and the ground was covered with debris crushed by gravity.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in a daze, not realizing what had happened for a moment, but it was obvious that Baichuan in silver armor and black robe had since become the embodiment of evil and indifference.
"Wow!" Li Ke clapped his hands. "This is really wonderful. I'm sure you've accumulated a lot of stuff in your crystal hourglasses since dinner."
An Rao looked at the young man with glasses with some surprise. He had a baby face and looked young, but every discovery made An Rao surprised. This sentence also showed that Li Ke had fully understood the real rules of the game in Holy Light Castle.
"What do you mean?" a player asked vigilantly.
"Do you think I should say it?" Li Ke ignored the player who asked the question and turned to An Rao for advice.
An Rao shrugged: "You have the right to decide the facts you discovered."
"Okay, then I have the final say on how to explain it and how much to say," Li Ke bowed politely to An Rao, then said to the remaining two players, "If you want to know the secret of the rules of death and the hourglass, then follow me to the hall."
