Free thinking...
This is the most expensive luxury in the mechanism of thriller script-killing.
Su Yi still remembers the heat from the collar bomb, just because he had the idea of hiding it, and Liu Ge's tragic death in the electric chair, just because he said he wanted to go home.
After a brief silence, Su Yi decided to believe in the life-saving system. He completely let go of his restrained thoughts, and his mind was like a floodgate, thinking rapidly about various prohibited contents:
There is definitely a way to escape from this horror script-killing game, otherwise the system would not be so strict on people. Most players choose to gradually become numb and not resist, but there are definitely players who are willing and able to resist, such as Bai Dashao.
The eldest master told him that there was a chance to [think?], and the fact proved that he was not lying, which showed that the eldest master himself had also experienced [thinking?].
So, what is the ultimate purpose of this thriller script-killing game that controls players and audiences so strictly?
As soon as he came in, the light screen of the script-killing game told him that all his wishes could be fulfilled here, as long as he could collect enough gold coins, everything would come true.
Su Yi decided to give it a try at first, after all, he was already dead and had no other choice. But after observing the horror script murders for some time, he was highly skeptical of what the light screen said at that time, "fulfilling all wishes."
The development of things in this universe is in accordance with certain laws. Su Yi remembers the law of increasing entropy in physics:
In an isolated system, entropy is always increasing, and the thermal motion of molecules is always moving from a concentrated and ordered state to a chaotic and disordered state. All living things in this world, the earth, the sun, and even the entire Milky Way cannot escape the law of increasing entropy and will inevitably rush towards the end of extinction.
He is dead. His body is gone.
If he could really be resurrected successfully and even obtain a healthy body, then there must be a brand new energy that changed his already dead and disordered body system.
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created out of nothing. However, Su Yi cannot see this kind of energy that can bring him back to life in the current horror script-killing games.
If the gold coins he collected really had an effect, it would prove that the energy he accumulated by reasoning, attracting the audience's attention, and being frightened by ghosts in a virtual script-killing game could revive an already extinct system, make the disordered molecular thermal motion orderly again, and bring a person back to life.
——Is this possible?
The brain that had been holding back for a long time burst into countless thoughts in an instant. Su Yi only took one second to think of all the thoughts, then stopped, emptied his mind, and waited quietly for two seconds...
Nothing happened.
There were no collar bombs, no electric chairs, no bloody words popping up as warnings.
Just as the life-saving system said, the light screen of the script-killing could no longer control him, and he could think as much as he wanted.
Su Yi, lying in the pile of hair, smiled silently. He was not a naive child who would be overjoyed by getting a candy. He knew that pie would not fall from the sky. How could such a good system appear out of nowhere?
"You? Who are you?" Su Yi asked in his heart.
"No one." The life-saving system replied, "You can think of me as a virus, a virus on your side."
This magical virus infected his system, turning the originally bad system into a life-saving system that belonged to him.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
In the dark secret passage, Su Yi heard the friction sound of feet stepping on hair? Ghosts were crawling in!
Judging from the regularity and frequency of his footsteps, he should be crawling on all fours. His breathing is very heavy, and he seems to be sniffing around...
Life-saving system: "It's coming in! I'll count to three, you? Hold your breath and don't move..."
Su Yi closed his eyes and hid under his hair. The rustling sound was approaching him like a cockroach. He felt a sticky and hot breath floating above him...
This monster can generate heat, Su Yi thought, but the ghost young master who was holding his hand at that time was completely cold.
[Fuck! The ghost really came in]
[This newbie is hopeless, just wait for the gold coins to be snatched~]
【bite--】
The ghost was very, very close to him, and when his life was hanging by a thread, Su Yi heard a prompt from the light screen:
[Unfortunately, I have to inform you that your little TV has been stepped on by 513 people and has now fallen into the [Top 100 Newcomers’ Bad List]! ]
Then there was a series of sounds of gold coins flowing out. Sound:
[Due to your extremely poor performance causing dissatisfaction among the audience, your gold coins are now being poured into the audience pool]
The life-saving system reminded him in his mind: "Don't pay attention to it, don't be affected."
Su Yi closed his eyes tightly, emptied his mind, and ignored the sound in his ears:
[New player Su Xinniang's current savings: 726 gold coins, all of which have been poured into the audience pool, and the audience can grab them]
[Rules for grabbing gold coins: If the player Su Xinniang does not die, the audience who grabs the gold coins will become Su Xinniang's slaves and owe a debt of ten times the total number of gold coins, that is, each person owes Su Xinniang: 726X10, a total of 7260 gold coins. After paying off the debt, the slave status can be lifted.]
[During the repayment period, all personal rights of the slave, including the right to life, will belong to Su Xinniang]
[If Su Xinniang dies, the gold coins will belong to all the audience. After the countdown ends, the money grabbing session will officially begin: 5, 4, 3...]
Su Yi didn't need to look to know what a carnival scene it was in the gold coin pool:
[This is so cool! Hahaha, hurry up and grab the money——]
[Oh my god, you guys are really robbing, aren’t you afraid of retribution?]
[Laughing? I've robbed gold coins so many times, and no newcomer has ever escaped death. Hehe, now my gold coins are in the five digits, and some people are just holding on to their single-digit gold coins and keeping their dignity!]
[Wow, my wife, please don't take the money I gave to my wife as a reward!]
Gold coins flowed out and were scrambled for by many people. The pushing, shouting, and sound of gold coins falling to the ground from the audience, one voice after another entered Su Yi's ears.
Life-saving system: "Hold your breath, the ghost is crawling towards you..."
Su Yi closed his eyes calmly. He felt strands of hair falling from the gaps in the hair covering his body and landing on his face.
…It’s so itchy.
Can't move. Su Yi endured silently, he memorized the characteristics of this monster in his mind: it has hair, it can generate heat, it crawls on all fours, its limbs are like human hands, and the skin on its hands is like dry branches.
The monster's head was moving back and forth above his body, sniffing roughly through a layer of hair. The hair was not very thick, and Su Yi felt that even if the monster had a dull nose, it should be able to spot that there was a person lying underneath, right?
After sniffing for less than thirty seconds, Su Yi felt the heavy breath was getting farther away. The monster actually ran to another place and began to sniff around, as if it really couldn't smell him.
——I don’t know if it’s because these hairs obscure his breath.
The monster wandered around in the secret passage but couldn't find him. Finally, it had to crawl out quietly, crawling faster and faster. It thought he had escaped and wanted to chase him.
Su Yi added a characteristic to this monster in his mind: low IQ.
After a while, the life-saving system in my brain said, "It should have run far away. You can get up now. We need to leave this secret passage."
Su Yi reached out and pushed away the hair covering his body. After this trim, he felt a little better. His legs still didn't have the strength to stand up, but they could support him to crawl some distance. Now that the monster had run away again, he had more time to survive.
Life-saving system: "Hold on, this fork is very short. Try to reach the end in three minutes. There is a vent on the left. Open the baffle and jump down when I give the command."
Su Yi hummed, and he crawled forward on the ground, not paying attention to what was happening on the small TV behind him. The comments were all over the place:
[??? Not dead???]
[What’s going on? Is that ghost mentally retarded? I’m speechless. He couldn’t even notice the person lying under his hair?]
[Rookie-level copies are so crude and illogical. Why couldn't they find out? How could they just let him get away with it?]
[It's just a moment of luck. Wait a little longer. This new guy will die sooner or later.]
[Hahahaha, some people are really anxious, right? They just grabbed the money so quickly, and now they regret it? It’s too late!]
[Let me help my wife do the math. 726 gold coins were just robbed. Let’s make a conservative estimate that only 100 trash viewers robbed my wife’s money. Now that he is alive, these 100 viewers will become my wife’s slaves. Each of them owes my wife 7260 gold coins, so a total of 726,000 gold coins can be provided to my wife!]
[Wow, that’s over 700,000 in one go! Oh my god, thanks to you guys who are foul-mouthed and nasty-handed, hahahaha, this became my wife’s first pot of gold!]
…
The secret passage was very narrow, and Su Yi's skirt often got stuck, so he had to spend more effort to crawl. I wonder if this fork in the road has become the monster's hometown, and the whole road is paved with hair.
Although the hair was very frizzy, it was better than the rough ground. Su Yi would not scratch his skin while crawling on it. He thought while crawling:
“Can a monster be considered a ghost?”
The script-killing rules announced by Guangping at the time stated that there was a ghost, but no monsters. Are monsters classified in the same category as ghosts, or are they counted separately?
If we count separately, the rules at that time should have listed how many monsters there were?
"I don't know." The life-saving system said, "Exploring the plot and the truth is your area of expertise. I can only be responsible for protecting your safety."
Su Yi smiled in his heart, thinking that this system was very cute. He continued to crawl forward, asking as he crawled: "Then how did you know there was a pit under my hair to hide a person? The monster won't be able to find me."
"This... you will slowly figure it out later." The life-saving system was guiding him. "You're here. It's nearby. Feel to the left. The vent is in front of your left."
Su Yi cooperated obediently. He stretched out his left hand and touched a cold steel net, which was the vent cover.
Click, click, slender fingers clasped the two sides of the hood and tried hard to pry them open——
A dark vent was revealed, like the mouth of a beast swallowing people.
Su Yi poked his head out and looked down through the vent...
Below was the corridor of the church. I didn't know which part of the church it was. There was no light and it was very dark. Su Yi couldn't see what was on the ground. He could only vaguely see the carved pillars. He felt a gust of wind blowing. He could leave the secret passage by jumping out of this hole.
only……
"How high down there is?"
Life-saving system: "You don't need to know how high it is. When the time comes, I'll give you the command and you'll jump down."
Su Yi: "..."
The corridor was quiet. Not knowing when the time would come, Su Yi waited quietly. He glanced at the small TV beside him. The comments were stunned by his continuous operations:
[What kind of foresight does this new guy have? How did he know there was a vent here?!]
[What does it matter if he knows about the ventilation holes? He doesn’t even need to look to know that it’s very high down there. If he jumps down from the ceiling of the corridor, with his heart disease, he’ll still fall to his death!]
Life-saving system: "The time is coming, get ready to jump——"
“…Wait!” Su Yi took a deep breath and his body tensed up.
He had never, and it was impossible for him to jump directly from two or three meters, without any protective measures, and only with an ambiguous opportunity...
“When exactly is that time…?”
Su Yi just asked in his heart, and before the life-saving system gave an answer, he saw the opportunity with his own eyes:
At the other end of the corridor, a beam of fire lit up. Under the blood-like light, Su Yi saw Baishen walking out with a knife in his hand and a murderous look on his face.
Su Yi: "..."
"Now!" The life-saving system gave the command, "Hold the skirt with both hands, pull up the hem of the skirt, get into the vent, I will count to three, and then jump down--"
"He... hasn't come over yet." Su Yi bent her knees and hugged her skirt, feeling a little worried. The cool breeze from the vent blew on his face, blowing up the bride's veil. His feet looked very dark and high.
"Can he... catch it?"
"Don't worry." The life-saving system paused and said softly:
"He will always catch you?"
Su Yi closed his eyes and fell down without a care in the world, letting gravity pull him down. The wind blew past his ears sharply, and the white wedding dress fluttered and spread out in the air...
Bai Shen looked up and saw exactly this scene. The bride he had been desperately looking for was jumping out of the dark vent, like a blooming white peony, falling from a branch and about to hit the ground...
Ding!
The metallic sound of the knife being thrown on the ground was crisp and deafening. Su Yi was startled for a moment, and the next moment he felt himself falling into a warm embrace.
——Bai Shen caught him.
Strong arms wrapped around his shoulders and held him tightly in his arms. Su Yi timidly opened his eyes and saw Bai Shen's chin.
...The jawline is clear, the facial contours are strong, it should be a very handsome face. This face is wearing a black bat mask, the eyes are staring at him, the lips are pressed into a straight line, and he curses:
"Do you want to die? How dare you jump so high!"
——So fierce!
Su Yi was so scared that he closed his eyes again, not daring to look at Bai Shen again. He was obedient and quiet, curled up in Bai Shen's arms without making any noise.
This look somehow made Bai Shen unhappy again, and he asked him in a cold voice:
"Speak up. How long are you going to remain mute?"
Su Yi didn't know why this guy was so fierce to him. He had just been tortured by the monster and had a heart attack. He almost died. He was finally rescued, but was scolded again. Su Yi felt a little wronged. He bit his lip and said:
"I... was captured by a monster, and then..."
"That's not what I'm asking!" Bai Shen interrupted him eagerly. Even if Su Yi didn't say anything, he knew everything that had happened:
"Don't you have anything you want to tell me alone?"
"..."Su Yi was completely confused by the question. What did this person mean?
Bai Shen lowered his head and kept moving closer, almost touching Su Yi's forehead, as if he wanted to seek some comfort. But he didn't get close to her after all, and stopped moving. His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was unwilling to give up:
"You still dare to pretend you don't know me?"
The tone was contrary to the usual coldness and indifference, but instead revealed a hint of gnashing of teeth:
"It's only been a short time since you graduated from high school, and you've already forgotten?"
Su Yi seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Bai Shen in confusion:
"…Who are you?"
Bai Shen couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed Su Yi's hand and put it on the mask on his face.
The five fingers wearing white lace gloves pressed against the black and gold bat mask. The cold iron material chilled the fingertips. Su Yi heard his heart beating, thump, thump. He moved his fingers slightly and slowly took off the mask...
Eyes as dark as the night, handsome eyebrows and nose, a very young face, with an expression of reluctance and ferocity, as if she was unwilling to take off the mask in front of him, but if he didn't remember after taking off the mask, she would eat him up in one bite.
Su Yi opened his mouth, with the pink tip of his tongue slightly exposed, and Bai Shen's eager eyes were always fixed on him.
"Bai...Bai Ye?"
Looking at this face, Su Yi finally called out the name.
A vague memory emerged from his mind, and he began to remember: Bai Ye, the ex-boyfriend he dated in high school.
Because of a king game instigated by classmates, number four and number five had to date for three months. Su Yi remembered that he drew number five, and Bai Ye was number four.
Then they had a blind date for three months.
There was no confession, no holding of hands, not even a touch of shoulders. Bai Ye asked him to go to the library to do homework twice, and for some reason she sat one seat away from him each time. She also asked him to watch two movies, and they just stared at the screen quietly the whole time, and they didn't exchange more than ten sentences.
Later, three months passed and Su Yi didn't think much about it. He sent a message to Bai Ye, saying that the time limit was up and they could separate. Bai Ye replied: Okay.
Afterwards, Su Yi went abroad to study and get medical treatment, and Bai Ye might have gone to take the college entrance examination. He didn't know where he went, and they never met again until now...
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Su Yi smiled awkwardly, twisting his body slightly, trying to get out of Bai Ye's arms. Bai Ye immediately realized that he was trying to escape, so he clenched his hands, grabbed him tightly, and held him in his arms:
"Still want to run?"
Su Yi immediately shook her head and lay in Bai Ye's arms like a little white rabbit, not daring to say a word.
Bai Ye was unwilling to let him go easily, and asked in a cold voice:
"You left so coolly at the beginning. You left abroad without saying a word? To study abroad?"
Su Yi was stunned. This didn't make sense. He remembered that he had clearly said this to Bai Ye.
When he was in his third year of high school, he received a notice from a hospital in Country M saying that a suitable heart was available for donation and they hoped that he could rush over as soon as possible. He had not originally planned to take the college entrance examination to study abroad in Country M, so he went ahead and left.
He passed away in a hurry because of the surgery. At that time, his classmates were busy preparing for the college entrance examination, so Su Yi did not publicize the matter too much.
Before leaving, he made two special calls to Bai Ye, but no one answered the calls.
Su Yi left a message on Bai Ye's QQ, and even sent another text message in case Bai Ye didn't receive it, telling him which hospital he had the surgery in, which university he studied at, and that if he had the chance to come to Country M in the future, he would treat him to a meal, and other polite words.
Bai Ye didn't reply to him.
Su Yi didn't care much about this matter, after all, he and Bai Ye didn't seem to be very familiar with each other. He got on the plane, crossed the blue sky and the ocean, and went to another country.
"...I clearly...told you." Su Yi defended himself: "...I sent text messages and QQ messages, and also made two phone calls."
Bai Ye was stunned and almost stood there.
Su Yi did not dare to look at him. Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster. Her nervous fingers unconsciously clenched Bai Ye's cuffs and she said in a low voice:
"But you didn't reply to me."
This voice sounded like a complaining kitten. Su Yi lay in his arms, petite and small, wearing a backless snow-white wedding dress, and she was talking about his faults in a soft and gentle voice. Bai Ye was itching to the point of being unable to bear it. If he wasn't afraid of scaring people, he really wanted to pick Su Yi up and kiss her hard right now.
The night wind blew, and the unlit church corridor was very dark, with only a floating torch prop emitting a warm orange light. Su Yi saw Bai Ye with his head down, like a big white dog drenched by the rain, revealing an indescribable grievance:
"I didn't get it."
Su Yi: “…?”
The carvings on the pillars of the corridor were hidden in the shadows. Bai Ye uncontrollably pressed his head against Su Yi's forehead, tightly pressed against it. He repeated softly, his tone sour and bitter, as if he had suffered a lot for this:
"I didn't receive your message."
"I thought...you didn't want me anymore."
