Chapter 106
Cheng Yiyi looked cautiously at Codename Hope who was following behind them.
Shen Yunzhe forgot a lot of things. He forgot what happened after entering the game field, and he also forgot who was present. He only remembered himself.
For this reason, Qiu Shurong felt that Shen Yunzhe might have encountered something terrible in the hotel, and maybe he was no different from those dead people now. Shi Xingxiang was also a little confused, but he still introduced himself briefly and then told him roughly what had happened before.
He listened attentively with a smile on his face. Perhaps because he had forgotten about something, he looked a little quiet and innocent.
"You really don't remember what happened in the hotel? And your hair..." Qiu Shurong didn't dare to get close to Code Name Xiwang, so he asked him from a distance.
Codename Hope thought about the surroundings when he emerged, his voice hesitant, as if frightened and shy. "I don't know. When I woke up, I saw a wall of portraits and lots of red words. I jumped out the window."
It matched the scene in Cheng Yiyi's memory.
Shi Xingxiang looked at Cheng Yiyi, and Cheng Yiyi nodded in agreement.
On the fifth floor where he left, there were a bunch of portraits of deceased people pasted on the wall, densely packed with them, no less than a hundred people.
Qiu Shurong whispered, "Is there something wrong with his brain?"
"You are the one with a problem in your brain!" Shi Xingxiang glared at him.
"It's really like those multiple personalities in novels," Qiu Shurong muttered. "He was like a psycho at the beginning, but that was fine. Yesterday he suddenly became normal, like a normal person. But now he's a different person again, with a personality like a little white rabbit."
Indeed, this is really confusing.
"But he said he was a forensic doctor and a police officer." Shi Xingxiang tried to say, "These kinds of jobs don't recruit people with mental illnesses, do they?"
"Let's not talk about the fact that he just said this profession himself. Maybe it's the profession of his main personality, or maybe it's due to work pressure that has turned him into a mental illness. He doesn't necessarily need to be a police officer now." Qiu Shurong began to speculate, "Otherwise, how could he be a police officer with such an unstable mental state?"
"Okay, after all, there are only four of us left now. Shen Wei is the most sensitive among us to the playground, regardless of whether he has any problems or not." Cheng Yiyi sighed, "Shen Wei and I found the pile of portraits and the village chief's suicide note on the fifth floor."
"We have determined that the medium should be the original statue. Now we are going to find the medium."
Qiu Shurong shrugged, "Okay, but we need to see that suicide note."
So Cheng Yiyi walked up to Codename Hope and asked, "Do you still have that suicide note?"
Codename Hope looked at him, "Suicide note?"
"It's the letter we saw in front of the portrait, from the village chief."
Codename Xiwang touched his pocket but didn't find a suicide note. He only found a hairband, which Shen Yunzhe had stuffed in his pocket when he left.
So Codename Hope said with regret and joy: "No more."
Are you so happy that the suicide note is gone? But that suicide note is evidence!
"Alright." Cheng Yiyi withdrew her hand doubtfully. "Anyway, I remember the suicide note saying: The statue was taken away by Widow Zhang. Widow Zhang relied on the statue to become the richest woman in the village. I guess the statue is still in Widow Zhang's house. If we find this place, we will most likely find the statue."
Shi Xingxiang nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, she looked in the direction of the hotel. Dense red words were still piling up until the outer walls of the hotel turned red. Dead bodies surrounded the hotel, and no one knew what had happened.
Behind the shops on both sides of the street were some residential houses. They had gone to see them at that time, but there was no one in these houses. They entered two houses at random and saw only messy objects thrown all over the floor, covered with a thick layer of dust.
I don't know how long it has been since anyone came in.
"With so many houses, how are we going to find this Widow Zhang?" Qiu Shurong asked, "Don't you have a real name? Only the name of Widow Zhang?"
"Stop complaining, search room by room, and make sure there are more paper documents."
After that, they started looking for Widow Zhang's house from the village head, searching the house inside and out.
Codename Hope picked up a piece of paper with two fingers and looked at the dusty table. Then he threw away the paper and started drawing on the table with his fingers. When Cheng Yiyi went over, she saw that Codename Hope had drawn half of a human face, with eyes but no mouth.
"Shen Yunzhe?" Cheng Yiyi looked at the painting he had drawn. "What are you doing?"
"If we followed the normal process, one of you would have died on the fifth floor, and then we would have received information about Widow Zhang and used that information to find her home." Codename Hope said with a smile, "Unfortunately, none of you died, so we can't get that information. We can only conduct a large-scale search for this person's home like this."
Cheng Yiyi was stunned for a moment. He looked at Codename Hope and asked, "Huh?"
"This is a game after all. It's customary to sacrifice yourself before obtaining clues." Codename Hope stood up. "By the way, what's your name?"
"...Cheng Yiyi, I introduced her before."
"Oh, Yiyi." Codename Hope nodded. "Keep looking. You'll find it eventually."
Cheng Yiyi watched as Code Name Xiwang turned and went into another room with confusion in his eyes. Before he could figure it out, he heard a quarrel outside. He hurried out of the house and saw Qiu Shurong and Shi Xingxiang arguing outside. Code Name Xiwang frowned slightly, covered his ears, and followed him out.
He hates noise.
"Do you really think this is okay?! You're looking for Widow Zhang's house like a headless fly!" Qiu Shurong shouted, "There are only four of us, and there are at least 100 houses here! It will take us forever to find one!"
"We have no other choice. If you don't want to find me, just get lost!" Shi Xingxiang didn't want to give him any slack. "If you want to die, go ahead and die on your own. Don't drag us down with you!"
Qiu Shurong's face turned pale and purple. He said, "It's obvious that the real temple is the most problematic, but you're here looking for Widow Zhang."
"We should explore the Real Temple again!"
Codename Hope smiled at the noisy Qiu Shurong, and he walked up to Qiu Shurong with a warm smile.
"You're so noisy." Codename Hope said, "Can you be quiet?"
"I'm just making reasonable assumptions for our survival! How could you do this!" Qiu Shurong shouted, "There's no point in wasting time here!"
Shi Xingxiang wanted to go over and continue arguing with Qiu Shurong, but was pulled back by Cheng Yiyi. Shi Xingxiang looked at Cheng Yiyi in confusion, but saw Cheng Yiyi shaking her head.
He looked at Code Name Hope with a hint of subtlety in his eyes.
"There's something wrong with Shen Wei."
I hope the code name is not Shen Yunzhe. He is the spokesperson for extreme emotions. He can do everything that Shen Yunzhe cannot do.
He only has patience in front of Shen Yunzhe. Only Shen Yunzhe is worthy of his endurance of darkness and loneliness, and only Shen Yunzhe can make him willing to retreat in order not to lose.
He only promised Shen Yunzhe to help him for a period of time, but he did not promise Shen Yunzhe to do everything according to his personality.
Codenamed Hope is very good at tormenting himself, and he also knows how to torment others. His madness is much more terrifying than sleep disorders.
What is this Qiu Shurong?
"Again, be quiet," said Codename Hope. "I hate noise."
“Who cares about you?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Codename Hope slapped him decisively. Qiu Shurong was stunned. He looked at Codename Hope stupidly. Before he could react, Codename Hope kicked him out. Shi Xingxiang and Cheng Yiyi were both dumbfounded.
They looked at Code Hope blankly as he grabbed Qiu Shurong's collar from the ground and dragged him out. Qiu Shurong finally reacted and let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
The two of them reacted and quickly chased after him.
Codename Xiwang dragged Qiu Shurong to the real temple. The door of the real temple was closed, but he didn't care at all. He dragged Qiu Shurong to the front of the temple. To his surprise, the real temple suddenly opened with a slam as if it was hit open by something.
Qiu Shurong was thrown inside, hoping to close the temple door when he tried to climb out. With a bang, the temple door blocked out Qiu Shurong's screams.
"Help! Let me out!" Qiu Shurong knocked hard on the temple door, "I'm sorry, I was wrong! Chen Wei, let me out!"
"You're killing people! Killing people!"
“Ah!!” Qiu Shurong’s scream broke through the sky, “It’s Zhang Luqing, Zhang Luqing died here!”
"Let me out!"
Codename Hope said nothing, and the two people who followed him didn't dare to breathe. They just looked at the real temple and Codename Hope outside the temple in horror.
What's going on? How did it get to this point?!
They just had a quarrel, that's all. Although Qiu Shurong is not a good person, but, but...
Cheng Yiyi said cautiously: "Well, Shen Wei, what if he is locked up in there like this and something goes wrong?"
"Dead? He deserves it." Codename Hope replied with a smile.
His voice and expression were as innocent as ever, with a hint of kindness, but his actions and words were extremely horrifying, making people shudder.
The scene was dead silent. Shi Xingxiang and Cheng Yiyi were pale. Qiu Shurong in the temple was still howling in fear, but because Codename Hope was holding the temple door, Qiu Shurong couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried and couldn't get out. He could only tremble and huddle beside the door, his eyes fixed on the stone statue of Zhang Luqing.
The stone statue's eyes rolled around and finally fixed on him, making Qiu Shurong scream again.
"Let me out, I was wrong!" Qiu Shurong cried out, "I shouldn't have said that, I won't say it again."
"You're wrong." Codename Hope kicked the door. "You shouldn't make noise. I hate noise."
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have made such noise." Qiu Shurong was crying, and even her crying became much quieter because of this. "I won't be so loud anymore."
"Please, let me out."
Codename Hope had a smile on his face. He didn't say whether it was good or bad, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
He was left like this for five minutes before Codename Hope finally took two steps back and let go of the door.
The temple door slammed open and Qiu Shurong flipped out. He rolled down the stairs with his face covered in tears and dust. He was so frightened that he kept retching as if he was going to vomit blood. But the moment he saw the code name Hope, he immediately covered his mouth and didn't even dare to make a retching sound.
"Are you okay?" Codename Hope squatted in front of Qiu Shurong and asked with concern.
Qiu Shurong shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her face.
"That's good." Codename Hope stood up. "Let's continue looking for a medium!"
The three people present looked at Code Name stiffly as he hoped to leave. Only after seeing him really leave did Qiu Shurong dare to cry out loud. Shi Xingxiang and Cheng Yiyi looked at each other.
"Is he really Chen Wei?" Shi Xingxiang asked.
Shen Wei claimed to be a forensic doctor and a policeman, and even at the beginning he maintained the excellent qualities of a policeman. He was keen on the game field and the rules, and all his bad intentions were directed at the live broadcast audience, so that these players had nothing to do except being occasionally choked by Shen Wei's operations.
After that, it was normal Shen Wei. At that time, he was more like a normal policeman.
But now, everyone can feel that Shen Wei doesn't care about Qiu Shurong's life or death at all. It doesn't matter even if Qiu Shurong dies. He can do it, and he can also watch Qiu Shurong die.
This action scared Qiu Shurong silly, and also shocked Cheng Yiyi and Shi Xingxiang.
"I don't know." Cheng Yiyi's fingers were also trembling.
"But in any case, we'd better not provoke him."
…
Shen Yunzhe sat on the chair, his eyes fixed on the front. He didn't even move his eyes when Codename Hope climbed up.
Because he knew that Codename Hope would definitely come, and because he was so afraid of the dark.
After coming in, Codename Hope ran to Shen Yunzhe, and after looking around for a while, he chose a position and snuggled into Shen Yunzhe's arms. Shen Yunzhe had no choice but to look down at him and pull him up before he fell. Codename Hope leaned in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shen Yunzhe, we have been flipping houses all day." Codename Hope said.
"House?" Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment, "Looking for Widow Zhang's room?"
"Yes, there were too many houses. We searched all day but couldn't find anything. It was getting late, so we just randomly checked into a house to spend the night. Then I came to find you." Codename Hope said, "Yiyi said there was a suicide note. Is it with you?"
Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment, then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, carefully folded it, and stuffed it into the pocket of Codename Hope.
Codename Hope nodded in satisfaction.
"I beat someone up today!" Codename Hope said to Shen Yunzhe in a rather proud voice.
Shen Yunzhe tilted his head, "Why do you want to hit people?"
"He always makes unpleasant noises, so I just scare him." Codename Hope rested his chin on Shen Yunzhe's shoulder. "You weren't here, and you didn't cover my ears. I get angry when I hear that noise. I'm not you, so I can't stand these people's clever little tricks."
"Shen Yunzhe, you should learn from me. Be more decisive and efficient. Just one move will teach them a lesson."
Shen Yunzhe tried hard to recall, "Zhang Luqing or Qiu Shurong?"
"It's a sapling." Codename hopes to directly change Qiu Shurong's name.
"Oh." Shen Yunzhe nodded, "It's not good to hit people, please restrain yourself."
Codename hoped to nod seriously, but in fact everyone knew he wouldn't listen. Shen Yunzhe didn't care and just looked out the window. White smoke was rising above the real temple, as if it was riding on clouds. That was the scene after countless real incense sticks were lit.
"I went to check it out during the day," said Codename Hope. "It was just a strange creature that had just begun to show some thoughts. It's easy to deal with."
Shen Yunzhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and incense was constantly lit in various places, especially at night when more burned. This was the real god's way of fighting against Shen Yunzhe's mental control.
This is a confrontation of homologous abilities in the gaming field.
"I can help you tear down that temple." Codename Hope said coquettishly, "You don't have to stay here all the time. Those players are not fun. Shen Yunzhe, please accompany me."
Shen Yunzhe retracted his arms and held Codename Hope tightly, "But you promised to help me, you can't give up halfway."
"Your ability can only harm strange things. At most, you can tear the real god of this playground into pieces, but that's not what I want."
He looked at the densely packed red characters on the wall, at the more than one hundred portraits behind him, and then at the densely packed small houses behind the hotel and the stone statues that filled the third floor.
Shen Yunzhe said, "I want it to be destroyed beyond repair. I want this playground to disappear completely."
"To send all the souls trapped here to where they belong."
They shouldn't have to kneel down and repent, they shouldn't be trapped in this endless place, with their thoughts and words controlled, and their tongues cut off so they can't defend themselves.
The one who should repent is the careless stone statue.
