Chapter 120
The earthquake continued, and there were cracks everywhere. Shen Xinlu ran out with the child in her arms. It was raining outside and there was nothing she could do.
It’s better for a child to be sick than to be crushed to death!
There was chaos outside because the earthquake was really big. Houses were collapsing and the ground was cracking. Shen Xinlu took the children to find a safe open space to squat. The children were crying in the rain. They had been crying for too long. Some of them fell asleep while crying.
"Where's Xiaoxi?" the dean asked Shen Xinlu.
Shen Xinlu then remembered that she hadn't seen Codename Hope outside, "I didn't see him!"
"Where did this child go?" the dean asked worriedly. "The earthquake was so big!"
"Dad, don't worry! He's very capable!" Chen Xinlu quickly comforted him, "Look, he was the one who helped us block the ghost before. He's not even afraid of ghosts, so how could he be afraid of earthquakes? He must have gone to find Xiaozhe. With such a big earthquake, he must be very worried about Xiaozhe!"
The dean thought it made sense, and since all the children really needed comforting, he could only nod and take care of the children first.
On the other side, Shen Yunzhe and code name Xiwang hugged each other. The earthquake finally stopped and the survivors stuck their heads out in horror, but at this moment, a miserable cry came from not far away.
Shen Yunzhe came out from Code Name Hope's arms and looked towards the place where the crying sound came from.
The rotten corpse in the withered flower was crying, hugging another rotten corpse and crying continuously.
“Ah!! No, no! None of it is right!!”
"They're not townspeople! They're not the ones who killed me! They're strangers!"
"I killed innocent people!"
Miss Zhu cried miserably, "I did the same thing as them! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!"
The vines were melting away, the red flowers were withering, and Miss Zhu was crying in the rain while hugging the rotting corpse.
Finally, she picked up the corpse, and the two corpses walked step by step in the rain. Shen Yunzhe saw Miss Zhu walk to the split grave. She put the corpse back into the grave and covered the body with her rotten hands. She waited until the grave was completely closed before she lowered her head and cried.
She melted little by little in the rain, turning into little bits of red, like brown sugar melting in hot water.
Finally disappeared.
【Shen Yunzhe.】
Shen Yunzhe heard the voice again. He raised his head and tried to find the speaker in the rain, but there was nothing in front of him, only empty rain.
Code Hope knew that he was looking for the system, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Code Hope reached out and tried to shield Shen Yunzhe from the rain, but his hands were too small to block the rain at all, so he took off his coat and held it high to block some of the raindrops for Shen Yunzhe.
Shen Yunzhe looked at him and into his eyes.
His face was reflected deeply in the silver eyes, as if nothing else could live there.
【Shen Yunzhe.】
[The game is about to end. I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance, but this is mainly to deceive the game. The only way to make the game really think you are the code-named doctor is to succeed.]
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Shen Yunzhe repeated. He didn't really know what he was talking about, he just repeated it casually.
Now he can be said to have little thinking ability, only a little instinct left.
Codename Hope pinched Shen Yunzhe's cheek with interest and poked his forehead. Shen Yunzhe just looked at him without saying a word or resisting. He looked very obedient, which was completely different from the obedient appearance that Codename Hope pretended to be!
Very suitable for holding while sleeping!
Your counterpart died in this game field, so you enter this game field as a dead person. This is a very necessary condition because the audience is in a different place than the code name. The audience is the dead players, representing the negative emotions of the dead, and only the dead can be exposed.
[After entering the game field as a dead person, you can link to a person. 】
Shen Yunzhe raised his head and saw a picture inexplicably.
He saw the world covered in darkness, saw people fleeing, saw strange creatures crawling on the tall buildings, the world was falling, the entire world was being eroded by strange creatures, a single person or a single organization had no way to stop all this.
When the strange thing came, he opened his hands.
"I once said, 'Before I actually die, I'll get rid of all of you sooner or later.'" He said, "Do you think now is a good time?"
"I feel so bad. I don't want to see this ending."
"Let's do something fun!"
[Codename: Sleep Disorder Patient, Special Ability: Connecting to Another Dimension.]
He was obsessed with the livestream audience, but the livestream space was a place where people died. Codename Sleep Disordered Person didn't want to die for such a thing, so he didn't take action until the moment the world was destroyed.
[At the moment of his death, he connected to the live broadcast space and successfully invaded as a dead player, but he couldn't think of a way to clean up the place in a short time, so he could only fall into a deep sleep. He had been waiting for an opportunity.]
[When you entered the game field as a dead person, you awakened him and gave him this opportunity.]
[The conditions provided by the codename Doctor, the spatial connection of the codename Sleep Disordered Person, and the mental control ability of the codename Corrosion can destroy the entire live broadcast system.]
Shen Yunzhe's eyes trembled slightly.
"How did Codename Sleeper die?"
"He won't seek death, nor will he sacrifice his life for the sake of a livestream audience. He will hold on until the very end, and only when the world is about to end will he begin studying his own death."
"He wants to tear down any audience he dislikes without any regard for the consequences."
[Synchronization is canceled, the game field is about to disappear. ]
[Shen Yunzhe, this is all possible because of your existence.]
【Thank you. 】
Shen Yunzhe blinked his eyes. He felt the rain falling on his face and even into his eyes. It was very cold and painful. Codename Xiwang held up his coat, but quietly put her chin on Shen Yunzhe's shoulder from behind, like a coquettish puppy.
Shen Yunzhe asked him to put his clothes down. Codename hoped to understand and put them down although he was a little reluctant.
He also wanted to pretend that his wrists, arms and legs hurt so that Shen Yunzhe could take a look.
Shen Yunzhe knew what he was thinking, but he just patted his hair.
The earthquake started again, and this time the tremors were even louder. Shen Yunzhe staggered and almost fell to the ground. Codename Hope helped her up. Shen Yunzhe frowned and looked forward, but vaguely saw a picture.
There were three people standing in front of them. Their faces were blurry, but Shen Yunzhe recognized them immediately.
Codename Doctor, Codename Sleeper, and Codename Erosion.
They were the same height as Shen Yunzhe, wore different clothes and had different hairstyles. They seemed to have made eye contact with Shen Yunzhe, but also seemed not to have.
"After that, it's up to you."
They walked forward, step by step into the rain and fog, until they could no longer see their figures. Shen Yunzhe subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if wanting to hold on to something, but Codename Hope grasped his outstretched hand and helped him retract it little by little.
"Don't do this. Don't try to stop me." Codename Hope hugged Shen Yunzhe from behind. "They came here for this. Do you remember? The system said that all your parallel worlds have the same goal: to destroy the playground."
"The same to you?"
"Of course not." Codename Hope watched the three figures in front of him completely disappear. "It's only me, who came here for you."
Three figures stepped into the white mist, as if crossing the world and entering another space.
The man in the middle raised his hand as if raising a flag.
"Grandsons!" he shouted. "Buried together!"
With a crackling sound, the entire playground collapsed completely. The heavy rain and earthquake threw the people waiting outside to the ground. Qiao Dong and Pentagram watched in surprise as the playground disappeared, and the survivors ran out crying.
Shen Xinlu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She felt her wound hurt again, and she could finally let the pain go.
In the ongoing game, a player was pressing his phone strangely and looking at the other players.
“Why is the live broadcast screen black?”
"Black screen? It's the same here!"
"And the audience and comments seem to have disappeared, and the game difficulty has dropped to 1?! What's going on?"
At the entrance of the shopping mall, several yellow-haired teenagers were discussing the latest hot information. One of them said mysteriously that he had a video and asked them if they wanted to see it.
"Come and see."
"Whoever is afraid is a dog!"
Huangmao smiled and took out his cell phone, opened the surprise egg and handed it to them, waiting for them to scream or pretend to be calm.
"What's this? A black screen? Is it banned? You can't. Why don't you download something like this right away?"
"Ah?" Huangmao was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly took back his phone, but saw that the interfaces of the surprise easter eggs turned black one by one, and the screen disappeared completely, leaving nothing.
The surprise easter egg disappeared?
…
This was the first time the official met Shen Yunxi, the mysterious player who had only heard of but never seen, and who could directly harm strange objects, but there was no way for the official to talk to him alone.
After being soaked in the rain for so long in this winter season, more than half of the survivors caught a cold and had a fever. Shen Yunzhe was one of them. He was emotionally unstable and fell asleep curled up beside Codename Hope after leaving the playground. Codename Hope let Shen Yunzhe lean on him wetly, with tenderness in his eyes.
Qiao Dong sent Shen Yunzhe to the hospital. As a wounded criminal police officer, Shen Xinlu's wound worsened and she was also admitted to the hospital for further treatment.
There were also a group of children in the orphanage who were frightened and almost all of them had high fevers.
Before he could arrange this matter, Qiao Dong immediately received the news that the surprise easter egg had disappeared. The shocking degree of this news was no less than the game field whose main body was the medium appearing in reality. Qiao Dong asked repeatedly five times before he really dared to believe that this was true news.
After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly turned on his phone and clicked on the surprise easter egg interface. He stared at the dark screen in a daze.
Did the surprise Easter egg really disappear?
Pentagram came over with a cane and sat down next to Qiao Dong. Qiao Dong turned to look at him and said, "Did you know? The surprise egg disappeared."
"I know." Pentagram nodded. "My subordinates reported this news to me. Isn't this a good thing? At least no one will be tricked into entering the game again."
"Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?" Qiao Dong looked bewildered. "The surprise Easter egg and the playground appeared together and existed for so long. Why did they suddenly disappear?"
Pentagram smiled and said, “It seems you haven’t received the other message yet.”
"What? Any new news?"
"A new group of players came out of the game and they all said: the live broadcast system is broken, the audience has disappeared, and the game difficulty linked to the audience has completely failed."
Qiao Dong stood up and asked, "Really?"
"It's true," Pentagram said. "You can't distrust our officials. Even if you can't trust just one of them, if everyone who comes out says the same thing, it can't be a lie."
"But why?"
Pentagram sat upright, composed. He said, "Did you notice something? The surprise eggs disappeared at the same time as the destruction of the Weiyang City North Playground. Oh, and I just had my subordinates find out what this playground was through the survivors' accounts."
"'Jiahua Films.'" Pentagram said, "This is a very special playground. The audience is the audience, and the players are the actors in the movie. It is a playground that is very dependent on the audience's presence."
"Its collapse was not only due to the destruction of the medium, but also due to a general strike by the audience."
Qiao Dong looked at the pentagram with some surprise, "...Do you think the surprise easter egg and the disappearance of the live broadcast are related to Shen Yunzhe?"
"It can't be that everything happens by chance."
Pentagram sighed, leaning on his cane. "I also saw that mysterious player who could directly damage strange objects. How should I put it? His entire body was covered in traces of special abilities. The light was so strong that it almost blinded me a second time. He didn't look like a human, but more like a ghost with special abilities."
"Horrible, really terrible."
Qiao Dong sat down and asked, "Is he a human?"
"It's a human, a living person. I don't know how, but he is definitely a human." Pentagram's voice was also quite strange. "Has Shen Wei's research reached the point where he can create a human?"
Qiao Dong looked at him and said, "I must remind you of one thing. He looks exactly like Shen Yunzhe."
"It turns out to be a first-rate replica of an artificial human."
Of course, a blind person doesn't understand what it means to be exactly the same. Even twins have differences in appearance and genes. But Qiao Dong knew at a glance that there was no difference between Shen Yunxi and Shen Yunzhe. Except for their hair and eye color, they were exactly the same, even their small movements were the same.
It was like two Shen Yunzhe appeared one after another.
After smoking a cigarette outside the hospital, Qiao Dong turned around and returned to the hospital after the smoke had dissipated. He now felt that even if he did not die in the playground, he would die from overwork in reality.
What is going on?
Before entering the ward, Qiao Dong knocked on the door. He didn't hear anyone from inside saying they were allowed to enter, but he heard a strange sound, as if something had fallen to the ground. Worried that something might have happened to Shen Yunzhe, Qiao Dong pushed the door open and walked in, then froze at the door.
He saw Shen Yunzhe lying on the hospital bed in hospital gown, Shen Yunxi lying on him, her long silver hair hanging on the bed, her hand still grabbing Shen Yunzhe's collar.
What fell to the ground was a small table used for hospital beds, lying on the floor in a pitiful manner.
Shen Yunzhe turned to look at Qiao Dong, his eyes full of accusations, "You let me stay in the hospital here, why don't you throw this guy out?!"
"Shen Yunzhe, don't you want me anymore?!" Codename Hope's eyes immediately turned red, as if she was about to cry. "I did everything you said, and I've been very good. Please don't throw me away, okay?"
Qiao Dong suspected that he had entered some strange late-night eight o'clock show...
"Get out of here." Shen Yunzhe pulled his hand away. "Believe it or not, I'll kick you down now."
Codename Hope refused to listen and even got down on him, "Then kick him."
With red eyes, she is shameless to the extreme.
Qiao Dong stood at the door of the ward, not wanting to go in. He looked at Shen Yunzhe and then at Codename Hope, "What happened?"
"He wants to wear my hospital gown." Shen Yunzhe looked at Codename Hope with a crazy look in his eyes. "He insisted that everyone in the hospital was wearing the same clothes as me, and he wasn't wearing them, so he got jealous and insisted on wearing this outfit."
Qiao Dong: ...
He retreated silently and heard the sound of a strange object falling to the ground again.
But who is Qiao Dong? He is the official Director Qiao, an all-round talent who can handle all kinds of field work. Qiao Dong went to the nurses' station and asked for an extra set of hospital gown. He used his official identity and asked the nurse to send it to Shen Yunzhe's ward.
After giving the instructions, Qiao Dong sat on the bench next to him to rest, feeling that this mysterious player was different from what he had imagined.
The imagined mysterious player: mysterious, powerful and terrifying, with a cynical smile on his face, just like the protagonist's secret grandfather.
The actual mysterious player: In order to wear couple outfits with Shen Yunzhe, he even took off his hospital gown.
...the filter is broken.
