Chapter 225 Snake's Treasure Game
Snake's treasure hunt area.
A small number of players were whispering to each other and preparing to leave the central coral area.
There aren't many players in this area, so if a small group leaves, they'll be particularly noticeable.
It is a sure win for players to exchange the jars on their bodies for skill cards. The exchange rate in the central area is higher than that in the edge, basically reaching 50%. Judging from the exchange speed, these people should not have reached the limit yet, and they all have unopened jars hanging on their bodies.
Not far away, several players with snake-shaped heads also noticed this scene. They were like market managers, always watching every little movement in the trading market.
“Have you completed today’s coral indicators?”
The two leading men did not expose their heads but wore hoods.
Someone immediately responded: "The number of players entering and leaving today is 63, which is a little short of the target."
Of the two hooded leaders, the one on the right spoke first: "Go check what's going on with the players over there."
One or two people left, probably because their jars had been used up and they had to find other ways to exchange for skill cards, but one-fifth, almost a quarter of the people were persuading their companions to leave together, which was something wrong.
A black line spread in the water and soon turned into a handful of fine sand, floating onto the finger on the left.
A female voice popped up: "No need to check. I used the Gu worm to monitor their conversation. You Yitong, your old enemy does have a lot of friends. She probably encountered the little snake's clone and is calling her friends to evacuate."
friend?
As soon as Miao Tingting spoke, You Yitong made a sound of "tsk". He probably realized that Qiao Song had already entered the coral:
"This haunted guy is not dead yet."
Miao Tingting couldn't understand why You Yitong looked like he had a deep hatred for the other party. She had also encountered Qiao Song in the Paper-Zha Town and thought that this player had great potential. She even recommended him to the president. But for some reason, the president meant that there was absolutely no possibility for Qiao Song to join the Newcomer Alliance.
Sometimes she wondered if the president and You Yitong knew something that she didn't.
Seeing You Yitong gritting his teeth, it was likely that he had suffered some trauma in the past. Miao Tingting raised the corners of her mouth slightly:
"Bringing her in was originally an agreement reached between Snake and Dragon. Other players can leave if they want. If they try to stop her, she might have some stress reaction in the coral. Of course, we also don't want other players to leave too smoothly. We should find a way to interfere. As long as there is a fight, new jars will be created."
"If we mend the seams a bit like this, we should be able to achieve today's target."
You Yitong seemed to be sneering: "Then you are really good at calculating. Your own family can also make up the remaining indicators. Do you think that the little snakes that split off will be grateful to you?"
Miao Tingting glanced at him sideways, seeming a little surprised.
"You Yitong, why are you so aggressive lately? I used to like your pretentious and roundabout way of speaking. But now you're like a resentful husband, trying to bite anyone you see."
"Miao Tingting, do you want to die?"
The sound of teeth grinding was heard. Miao Tingting stopped while she was ahead and had no intention of confronting this guy who was competing with her for the second-in-command position:
"It's just a joke. The battle in Zootopia has entered a white-hot stage. Now all the zodiac signs are leaving the battlefield. You should know who we are supporting this round. He must win so that our guild can survive. When that day comes, we can go to the new world."
Speaking of the guild's mission, the magician's expression was finally forced to smooth out bit by bit.
The word "new world" soothed his fluctuating emotions very well.
Yes, new world.
He wants to stay in the new world. Those players who are trying their best to return to the real world are no different from fools in his eyes. What is good about the reality? It is full of lies, violence, and all kinds of painful memories.
The Infinite Highway can also create things that exist in reality, and only here can you truly start over.
Qiao Song is just the dumbest and the one who jumps the highest among those players.
All those who want to go home can only become nutrients for that river.
You Yitong put on a magician's top hat, and Miao Tingting beside him took off her cloak, revealing a national costume surrounded by silver ornaments.
"Then let's get started. First, complete the skill card's quota, then cut the coral. Hurry up, or the coral will be destroyed by the one inside before we start. It is said that she has obtained the power of the zodiac. If she wins a few more times, there will be too many variables in this selection."
You Yitong put on gloves, and large clumps of densely packed bloody and fleshy bird heads began to emerge from his fingertips, looking quite creepy.
"If the snake can't entertain her, we will entertain her well."
Although the atmosphere outside Coral has changed, You Yitong was right about one thing: the little snake is indeed a little unable to deal with Qiao Song now.
This woman was much more difficult to deal with than he had originally thought.
"Strange, you actually have more than two composite zodiac powers, but you don't have the smell of rule cards."
Sishe has changed many kinds of props in his hand, and the shape of Qiao Song opposite him is also changing continuously. Because Shirobako let her turn into a snake in advance to adapt to the underwater environment, Qiao Song looks more like a dragon than the little snake opposite.
She possessed the characteristics of many animals, with hands like chicken claws, a furry tail like a dog, and horns protruding from her forehead: "You are weaker than I thought. If I didn't have those props, I would have torn you apart long ago."
The little snake on the opposite side was not angry either: "I am not a complete body. If I only rely on the skills of this skin, I will definitely not be able to beat you, but this is the Coral Canal. Everything in the water here can be used by me, and you——"
The little snake's eyes were fixed on the objects that were emerging like bubbles on Qiao Song's skin.
"The longer you stay here, the more valuable items you will drop. You don't have to care about those props and skills now, but I feel that you still care about the friendship between players. Aren't you afraid that your memories will also fall out?"
Qiao Song stared at him intently, his mouth cracked, revealing his jagged teeth: "It just so happens that I have some memory problems, so this saves me from having to bypass the programmer to find the source. When the time comes, I can just hold a ball of memory and unlock it directly."
After hearing this, Xiaoshe felt that Qiao Song had something wrong with his brain.
For players, this coral liquid is just like sulfuric acid. No normal person would feel at home here, or even look like they are enjoying it.
Qiao Song turned into a snake-like creature and soon found an opportunity. She rushed over like a sharp sword. After the little snake dodged, she didn't even bother to turn around and directly crashed into the coral wall, creating a big hole.
There were screams from outside the cave. Not only did the liquid in the coral not flow out, but it was trying to absorb something from the outside in.
Fortunately, the coral heals very quickly, and the hole, which was as big as Qiao Song’s head, healed itself in minutes.
"If your intention is to destroy the corals, then I advise you not to waste your efforts."
The little snake tilted his head slightly, and he turned back into human form, only his head was still in the shape of a snake.
"The corals heal very quickly. You can only make a few holes by breaking the wall, which can help me suck in a few more players. What a pity! I originally wanted a few more paper toys. But it doesn't matter. After you die completely, all the similar toys on your body will slowly precipitate out."
His tone was as calm as if he was a thief who was about to kill someone and then pick up the equipment.
Qiao Song smiled and said, "You can try."
Qiao Song, who was much bigger than the little snake, seemed determined to fight with his physical strength. The little snake was just a clone of the snake. After suffering a bit, he decisively chose to use props to get back at the snake.
"Well, let me think about it. Where exactly is your weakness? Since you said there's something wrong with your memory..."
Although the little snake had turned into the appearance of a boy, the tongue in his mouth was still a forked snake tongue. He tasted the flavor of the coral liquid and quickly made a decision.
He took out a new prop, which was a pair of glass eyeballs, as clear and transparent as crystal balls, with a few tufts of hair wrapped around the outer edge.
That is the spoils from the Sheep.
This thing is a consumable. One less is needed after each use. He had almost used up all of it in order to seduce those players riding the dolphin boat. In order to deal with such difficult players, he decided to take out a new pair of eyeballs.
The props he used were not the cheap stuff dropped by players, but things with zodiac signs that could directly affect other zodiac signs.
【Eyes of the Lost Sheep】
[The eyes of countless psychological counselors, with similar skills as psychiatrists combined.
You ask me, how do goats jump in dreams?
They jumped from the burnt marshmallow into the burning sea water. If you don’t like burnt candy, let’s go to the sky together and pick another one from the clouds.
You don’t need to restrain your desires. You can do whatever you want in this dream, but the premise is that you must protect the person who brings you to the dream. 】
Qiao Song met a pair of magical eyes. There seemed to be two whirlpools spinning inside. The coral liquid gradually disappeared into the air, and the world around him turned white.
She saw a gentle goat, who was asking her softly, "Qiao Song, do you want to go home?"
The goat's face kept changing, and finally turned into a face that she was extremely familiar with.
"Xiao Song, what's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted to show mom the dish you just learned yesterday?"
Qiao Song found himself carrying a bag of food and walking home with his mother.
There were people walking their dogs in the neighborhood. She got off work a little late, and the street lights were on. It was already past dinner time, but many of the puppies out for a walk seemed to be very familiar with their mother, and they circled around them affectionately.
Qiao Song has never been liked by animals since she was a child. When other small animals saw her, they either clamped their buttocks together and barked wildly, or trembled with their ears in front of their ears, as if she were some kind of monster.
This situation started when Qiao Song was three years old. Whenever she went to the zoo, it was a disaster for the animals there. No matter how the keepers persuaded them, the animals would stick to the corners and did not want to stay in the sightseeing area for even a second. They just wanted to go back to the cold cages in the backstage.
But her mother could see that her daughter actually liked these animals. To be precise, Qiao Song was curious about all living and moving things in this world.
Whether it’s the rocking cars in the shopping mall or the big dogs in the community.
Qiao Song's mother, Shu Ruyue, is an extremely gentle and smart lady. She didn't know what method she used, but even though she didn't have a dog at home, she became familiar with all the dog owners in the community.
Later, Qiao Song still remembered the soft feeling she felt when she first touched the puppy. Her heartbeat would be transmitted along her belly and gradually overlap with her human heartbeat.
The heartbeats of small animals are different from those of humans, but magically, Qiao Song could feel that they were all alive, soft and fragile beings.
Although the dog was almost scared to death by her, after many persistent attempts, many big dogs in the community no longer tuck their tails between their legs when they see her. Occasionally, they will approach her hesitantly, waiting for her and her mother to touch their heads.
Ms. Shu had just finished petting the golden retriever and the Samoyed, and turned back to look at Qiao Song and smiled, "Does our little Song not like dogs now?
Why are you so silent today? Did you encounter any unhappy things at work? "
Qiao Song was silent for a while, and finally showed the smile that Shu Ruyue was familiar with: "It's not that I don't like them. Everything is normal at work. It's just that I haven't been home for a long time. I'm afraid they are not familiar with me. I will play with them when we take a walk tomorrow night."
Shu Ruyue stared at her for a while but didn't ask anything: "Your room is cleaned every day. I just changed your bedding yesterday. Have a good sleep tonight. Okay, have you eaten? If you have, you don't have to cook tonight. Mom is not hungry."
Qiao Song knew that Shu Ruyue had a bad habit. She didn't like to eat at night. Most of the time, she would just cook a bowl of soup for herself and didn't eat much staple food.
It's not about losing weight, but simply because I don't like eating.
Shu Ruyue has a mild anorexia, a problem that developed after her father passed away. She eats purely to maintain her vital signs.
When Qiao Song first started working part-time, the places he went to most often were hotel kitchens and restaurants.
No matter how good or bad her cooking was, Shu Ruyue would always praise her and try her best to eat the food.
Sometimes, when Qiao Song lived in the school dormitory and did not go home for a long time, her mother would take the initiative to send her a text message to report what she had eaten that day.
But in fact, the text description says that cucumbers and corns were eaten, but the actual situation may be that only a quarter of them were eaten.
Qiao Song was born with the ability to distinguish lies from emotions. She knew her mother did not lie to her, but she did not tell the complete truth either.
Later came the era of smart phones, and then 4G and 5G. Software could send pictures and videos instead of cold texts that could be exploited. The food that was taken to report to her daughter could not be wasted, so Shu Ruyue was forced to be a little healthier than before.
Except for the fact that Shu Ruyue was a worry when it came to eating, Qiao Song always felt that his mother was the best person in the world.
Qiao Song has been different from other children since she was young. Her curiosity about the world seems to exceed that of ordinary people.
Wanting to know why the TV was showing pictures, the five or six-year-old Qiao Song fumbled with the tools at home and dismantled the expensive TV.
Of course, she wasn't a prodigy who could put the TV back together perfectly; she was just curious and wanted to see what was inside.
Occasionally, relatives would say that Qiao Song was a freak. He would stare at you with his eyes and would always say something shocking when something went wrong:
"Aunt, you just lied. Your bracelet was not given to you by your cousin. You bought it yourself. Last weekend at the jewelry store, you had a quarrel with your uncle because the bracelet was too expensive."
When her aunt was stared at, she would quickly explain with a red face that her money was given by her son and the quarrel was because her uncle wanted to buy it for her but she didn't want it.
When Qiao Song felt that she was lying and was about to expose her again, his aunt would take the initiative to change the subject.
Later, even if relatives occasionally came to the house for a gathering, they would try not to brag in front of Qiao Song. This kid can really tell who is lying.
Qiao Song, who was only a few years old at the time, would ask his mother with a stern face: "Why did Aunt lie?"
Shu Ruyue actually explained to her seriously: "Well, because she wants others to think that her cousin is living a good life and is very filial to her. She wants everyone to envy her."
"Will mom be jealous?"
Ms. Shu burst out laughing: "I don't need to be envious, I already have the cutest Qiao Qiao in the world!"
Qiao Song stared at Shu Ruyue at that time and asked, "Will mom also want me to buy her a big bracelet in the future?"
Shu Ruyue immediately smiled charmingly, and soon touched her head tenderly: "Mom, I just want you to always be happy and do what you want to do, and live your life without regrets."
truth.
Except for the issue of eating, her mother never lied to her.
Little Qiao Song gently hugged his mother's waist, buried his head in her arms, and rubbed against her: "Then I won't dismantle the TV or furniture in the future. Auntie said that those things are almost as expensive as her gold bracelet."
She was still a child, she couldn't give her mother a bracelet, but she could prevent her mother from losing more bracelets.
After hearing this, Shu Ruyue almost laughed to the point of tears. She lifted her daughter up high, hugged her in her arms, and caressed her cheeks back and forth:
"Xiao Song, no matter what you do, you are always your mother's good daughter. If you like to tear things apart, go ahead. I don't watch TV that much at home. If you don't like the toys I bought for you, then everything in the house is your toy."
The big TV at that time was a large square color TV, very bulky and really expensive. After Qiao Song became price-conscious, he stopped wasting time on things at home.
Later she started going to school.
Qiao Song is also a good student who is very strange in the eyes of the teacher.
She has excellent grades and is serious in class, but the weird thing is that she likes to go outside the school very much. She doesn’t go out to play, but to go out to earn money “very sensibly”.
But Qiao Song's family is not short of money. Although his father passed away very early, the family assets he left behind are quite substantial, and his mother also has a decent job.
She likes to try different things.
In the past, people had no concept that child labor was illegal. As long as the child was willing to help, Qiao Song would be given anything from a bag of fruit to a meal or even some pocket money. He would actively save money and do anything that interested him.
In the first half of her life, it was as if she was living the lives of dozens of people. She was curious and even a little impatient, wanting to understand everything about this world in the shortest time possible.
When Qiao Song was a student, he worked in almost all the ordinary jobs that an ordinary person could come into contact with in his life. Relatives, led by his aunt, would occasionally gossip with Shu Ruyue, asking Qiao Song to focus on his studies.
As a result, Qiao Song, who was said by them to be too distracted by his studies, ended up attending a top university that his cousins failed to get into.
Shu Ruyue would cover her mouth and smile gently: "The child can do whatever she wants, as long as she is happy."
It was like Versailles, and it made my aunt and the others very angry.
But Qiao Song knew that his mother never lied, that was what she thought.
The teaching in the university was more flexible. After Qiao Song got all the credits he deserved, he disappeared from the school more and more unscrupulously.
She might be working as a temporary central control receptionist in a restaurant today, working as a tour guide in a tourist attraction in the city tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow she might transform herself into a mason helping with bricklaying in a decoration company.
Qiao Song is also a weirdo in the eyes of her classmates. She doesn't seem to be busy for money, but to experience these professions. Of course, most of them are related to food.
Shu Ruyue has also tried almost all kinds of food from all convenience stores in the city. Qiao Song is talented in everything except cooking. But like Shu Ruyue, she likes to eat life-sustaining meals and thinks that as long as she is healthy and full, it is enough.
But Shu Ruyue eats less than her, so Qiao Song is extremely strict in this regard.
It was not until Qiao Song went to college and only returned home once every one or two months or even half a year that Shu Ruyue returned to her previous thin figure.
Because those gossipy relatives are not very welcome to come to her home, Shu Ruyue's only social interaction now, apart from her daily work, is taking a walk after dinner and saying hello to the dogs in the community one by one.
Qiao Song asked if he wanted to raise a puppy, but Shu Ruyue said, "Not yet. I'll see after I retire. Besides, raising a dog is a family matter."
But there are only two people in the family. Qiao Song agreed to keep a dog, and Shu Ruyue also likes it.
The past memories in my mind are stacked up layer by layer, making me feel as if they all happened yesterday.
After Qiao Song entered the house, he put down the bag of vegetables in his hand, which contained some ingredients he had just bought from the supermarket.
The disconnected memories in her mind slowly connected into one piece, and Qiao Song remembered that some time ago she had worked part-time at a home-style restaurant that did pretty good business, and learned how to make several delicious stews from the chef.
"Why did you buy coriander? Don't you dislike coriander?"
Shu Ruyue rummaged through the bag and saw that Qiao Song had already brought the ingredients when she came back. Only then did she realize that her daughter was planning to make beef stew.
"This dish calls for coriander roots, that's ok, I can have beef and carrots."
Qiao Song doesn't like to eat any food with a pungent smell, but his mother likes it very much. Including his aunt's family, everyone likes this kind of dish with a special fragrance, as well as tong gao and celery.
Qiao Song walked into the familiar kitchen and picked up a knife from the chopping board.
She stared at the sharp blade of the knife in a daze.
Behind me, a shadow began to move in the darkness, as if it was about to make a move.
But Qiao Song did nothing, she quickly started preparing the dishes and getting ready for dinner.
Among the dishes cooked by Qiao Song, only the stew was decent. Shu Ruyue was very considerate and finished a bowl of rice today after a long time.
Qiao Song picked some carrots and beef to eat. Shu Ruyue wanted to wash the dishes, but Qiao Song sent her to the living room to watch TV.
“Don’t you have a dishwasher at home?”
Shu Ruyue's expression was blank for a moment, and after a few seconds she responded: "Yes, it seems to be the gift you bought for Chinese New Year last year."
The little snake in black eyes let out a cry of surprise.
The dream plot actually took the initiative to fill the logical loopholes without his control.
Qiao Song returned to the kitchen and started washing dishes. She did not use a dishwasher because there was no such thing in the kitchen.
The beef for dinner did have a hint of coriander in it, but she ate it anyway.
She hasn't had a meal with her mother for a long, long time.
"You know, the last guy who let me see his past memories, I almost plucked all his feathers out of him."
Qiao Song turned on the faucet. Amid the sound of rushing water, she muttered to herself and pulled out the knife next to the chopping board.
Behind him, a wriggling black mass twisted into the shape of a snake.
A child's voice slowly sounded: "Aren't I helping you? Didn't you say that there was something wrong with your memory?"
The corners of the snake's mouth cracked open little by little, and its tongue hissed out from its deep red mouth.
The little snake's eyes narrowed into crescent-shaped slits, and he looked at her maliciously: "I didn't expect to find such a shocking secret in your memory, Qiao Song, you are not a human player..."
With a clang——
The kitchen knife was chopped directly into the corner.
The kitchen knife pierced the wooden table used for preparing food.
"Oh, why are you so angry? Although I don't know how you sneaked into the real world, you smell like the River of Life and Death. How did you sneak across?"
Qiao Song stared at the evading shadow and said, "Your coral solution was also obtained from the River of Life and Death."
The little snake wagged its tail nonchalantly. "So what if you guessed it? Every second you stay in this dream, your body outside will collapse faster and faster. No one can walk out of that river alive, and its fake is no exception."
"You also know that it's a fake?"
The snake dodged Qiao Song's second knife with a giggle:
"Hey, don't change the subject. I know all the non-human administrators in the entire game world. Where on earth did you come from? Even if we put aside the administrator status that human players can also obtain, such as Zodiac, you are simply too weird, like a mushroom that was born and raised on the Infinite Highway."
There was no extra emotion in Qiao Song's eyes, and she didn't seem to be curious about her own life experience. She just kept drawing her sword and then chopping the snake's shadow with it, as if she was mechanically venting her dissatisfaction to the snake shadow.
For her, cutting the snake was no different than cutting beef that night.
Snap, the knife finally broke.
Qiao Song put down the kitchen knife and replaced it with a fruit knife. This made Si She wonder if there was something wrong with her brain: "You don't really think that such a small knife can hurt me? Why, you can't take out your toolbox in this world, so you are ready to jump off the wall desperately?"
Qiao Song still had that indifferent expression, but suddenly she smiled:
"As we go further along the Infinite Highway, many people, especially NPCs, seem to know me. I thought you would be the same as them, or as a part of the Snake, you can't share memories with other clones. Aren't you afraid that you will be used as cannon fodder and pushed in front of me by them?"
The boy was silent for a long while, and soon, he sneered, "I only know that in my coral canal, a fellow like you can't cause any trouble. Unless I agree, you have no way to leave this dream world. For you, I have consumed a whole pair of Weiyang's eyeballs, which were left by the previous administrator."
The eyeballs of the Sheep.
Qiao Song recalled the jingle he had heard in the Dog area for the first time in a long time.
[Rooster bones and blood are poisonous, Horse legs are chewy, Beef is eaten from the body but not the head, Monkey hair should be removed and not left, Tiger teeth should be kept on hands, Pig never eats oil, Rabbit claws are used to grind teeth, Rat is destroyed without worries, Sheep eyes cannot be seen, Snake scales should be scraped and then the head should be removed.]
She had to chop off this guy's head.
Qiao Song jumped high on the cabinet, and she had changed her hand to a bone-cutting knife. This time, the snake shadow was hit in the head by her, and it was split into two, but it was only a shadow, not the real body.
After the little snake dodged, its tone was full of gloating: "The way you struggle now is quite funny. You didn't kill me because you can't do it? Then how about I tell you something more infuriating?"
He wandered in the shadow of the kitchen with a gloating look on his face, as if in this depressing little space, just one word was enough to trap another depressed soul.
"What I said before was just to tease you. No one can sneak back to the real world, no matter if you were an administrator before. You can't do that. I have now confirmed that you are a native creature because your memories are completely different from those of humans. Look at this house and the ones around it. Do you know why they look so similar to human memories?"
The greedy snake showed a vicious but happy smile: "Because - the place you live in your memory is not reality at all!"
The snake's tail quickly expanded, and Qiao Songlian had to hide in the kitchen to talk to him, but the snake didn't care if people in the living room heard the noise.
Its body rapidly enlarged and soon penetrated the entire wall.
After the wall was broken, the scenery that could be seen from the 20th floor was revealed.
"How long are you going to deceive yourself? Look at the scenery outside. Does it look familiar?"
Qiao Song saw endless darkness, with several areas dotted with lights of different styles, marking several different areas.
She had seen this scene somewhere else.
She had looked down at this road after leaving Zootopia.
The entire broken kitchen was filled with the sharp laughter of a child. The lights were broken, and on the walls, countless black shadows were swaying like snakes, as if echoing the eerie city outside the window.
"How ridiculous! I was planning to use dreams to weave an illusion to fool you, but I've tasted so many human memories, and yours is the most tasteless."
The shadows on the wall were split one by one, and the snake was not afraid, but became more excited, as if it had discovered some big secret:
"This memory in your mind was fake from the beginning. Everything that exists in your mind is an illusion. I don't even need to process it. I just need to present it to you as it is."
Small glowing bubbles appeared around the snake's body, and on the surface of each bubble, a memory belonging to a human emerged.
"This is what real human dreams look like. What a coincidence! I got some very interesting memories from that old man on the dolphin boat before. There were characters in it that were the same as those in your false memory."
Qiao Song's hand that was swinging the knife suddenly paused.
Sishe continued, "The woman named Shu Ruyue actually appeared in other people's memories."
"But the child next to her doesn't seem to be you."
"How did you get the name 'Qiao Song'? Have you never thought about why your father's last name is not Qiao? Your mother who loved you so tenderly turned out to be a false shadow. Whose memory did you steal this from? Hahaha, Qiao Song, there is no difference between you and me. I am a snake that eats memories, and you are a thief who tampers with other people's experiences!"
The whole world suddenly became quiet.
Seeing that Qiao Song stopped moving, Sishe thought that she was about to be mad at him. Before he could hold up his tail in smugness for a few seconds, he saw Qiao Song straighten her back and tilt her ear as if listening to someone talking.
[Ding—I’m Bai Xue. The Fairy Tale team outside the coral reef has already evacuated. I also persuaded a few players I know to leave together. There are 4 of us in total.]
[Ding——This is Qian Sitian. Ge Jia, Hua Lifan, and Ni Chunlai have been rescued. We used the lanterns that were not completely damaged to rescue 13 other unknown persons. We have now evacuated the Coral Sea.]
[Ding—I am Xiang Hongliang. I have retreated back to the coast. Contact other members immediately and return to Maotu City.]
[Ding—This is Feng Huan, we are evacuating the players from the beach. We are trying to keep the players who are not in the water away from the beach. The NPCs in Maotu City have also joined us for no reason. Other than that, everything is going according to plan.]
The voices of the players in his ears pulled Qiao Song’s chaotic thoughts into another world.
Now, the only people left in the venue were the guild players who didn't have a good relationship with her, and those guys who completely ignored the advice and wanted to stay near the coral reef to exchange skill cards, and were blinded by greed.
Once the area is cleared, the rest is easy.
With only a small half of the kitchen left, Sishe suddenly felt that the emotions of the player in front of him were a little difficult for him to understand.
It seemed that Qiao Song's previous anger of hacking and killing was all pretended. Now he suddenly looked at him very calmly:
"Of course I know my father's last name is not Qiao. When I was a child, I thought I was adopted. Later, I was afraid that my mother would be sad, so I never mentioned this question. Now maybe I have the answer."
She put down the knife in her hand, her eyes drowned in darkness.
"Actually, I am somewhat grateful for your answer. Many memories in my brain are locked. It may not be possible to unlock them without spending one or two hundred programmers. Now you have told me part of the answer for free."
"Whether I am an NPC or a human, it doesn't really matter. At least you let me know that my mother exists in other people's memories. She is not fake, but a real living human being. She did not enter this game, which is good."
Snake just thought it was ridiculous. What was she talking about? Why wasn't she angry? Shouldn't she be angry?
Not only that, Qiao Song was so calm, but Si She suddenly felt an indescribable impulse in his heart.
It kind of wants to escape.
But Sishe didn’t understand why this happened. This was his dream space, the world he created using the eyes of Weiyang. Why did Qiao Song have the confidence to say such things?
Qiao Song took out a candy from his pocket. It was a gift that came with the bag of groceries he bought at the supermarket.
It was also in the Blind Box Paradise that Li Yuan asked Ms. Yang to give her candy before leaving Ghost Street.
"If you decide to wake up from your dream, eat it." At that time, Qiao Song didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
She peeled off the colorful transparent candy wrapper and quickly chewed the candy.
Crushed sugar cubes have no flavor.
It’s not even as sweet as the candies her mother used to buy her when she was a child.
The sky above the residential building began to collapse, and the figure quietly watching TV in the living room disappeared. Qiao Song did not look back at Shu Ruyue.
She didn't dare look back.
In the coral solution, the snake suddenly opened his eyes, and just as he jumped out a little, his neck was strangled.
An animal fusion that was even more bizarre and chaotic than before appeared behind him.
Qiao Song's eyes began to change color, and even looked a bit like the eyeball that Xiao She had taken out before.
"I think you are ready to pay the price for peeking into other people's memories."
For no reason, the Snake felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
He didn't understand why he felt like he had drilled through a gasoline barrel when he had only revealed a false dream.
