Chapter 124
Although he didn't understand, Shen Yunzhe still called Qiao Dong.
He has never joined the official side, but he still trusts Qiao Dong. Qiao Dong is a good person and will make things convenient for Shen Yunzhe in practical situations. That is enough.
"The Madonna statue keeps getting closer?" Qiao Dong didn't quite understand what he was saying. "What an abstract statement."
Shen Yunzhe was lying on the bed, leaning against the bedside table. Codename Hope was dozing off on him. He looked like he was asleep but also seemed to be somewhat conscious, half asleep and half awake. He seemed very well-behaved. Shen Yunzhe reached out and rubbed his long hair. It was very smooth and slippery, and he didn't move.
"Could the Madonna statue be a nickname for the playground?" Shen Yunzhe began to guide him. "There's a playground called the Madonna statue."
"Speaking of which, what exactly is the Madonna..."
[World B03415, codename: Sleep Disorder Synchronization, synchronization rate 100%.]
Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment.
But at the moment of synchronization, something emerged in Shen Yunzhe's mind.
It was a pitch-black night, and countless strange creatures appeared in reality. Shen Yunzhe had seen this scene before. It was the memory of the person with code name sleep disorder before his death. At that time, he only paid attention to the inner thoughts of the person with code name sleep disorder, and really did not look at this memory carefully.
The sky seemed to be breaking apart, and black fog filled the entire world. People screamed and ran away, but there was no safe place in all directions.
The man named Sleep Disorder should be standing on the roof of a very tall building, but even so, the appearance of that thing was still unbearable for him.
Even Shen Yunzhe felt incomprehensible shock when he saw the scene from his memory.
It was a very tall stone statue, so tall that its head was about to pierce the clouds. Humans and even tall buildings were just tiny ants in front of it. The sense of enormity that was difficult for the brain to comprehend made everyone who saw it feel panic.
The white statue of the Virgin Mary raised her hands and faced the sky. There were tears in the corners of her eyes and black mist kept flowing from her eyes.
Its appearance in the world means that the world is coming to an end, and the entire world will be eroded by the playground.
【Synchronization canceled.】
Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment. He took two rapid breaths and didn't know where to look.
"Shen Yunzhe?" Qiao Dong called him on the phone, "What's wrong? Why haven't you said anything?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Yunzhe quickly replied: "Anyway, please help check this statue of the Virgin Mary. I'll talk to him over here."
Qiao Dong was silent for a few seconds before responding, "Okay, but be careful not to go out and meet them. If you can dig up some information, that's great. If not, that's fine too. The authorities are currently investigating them."
"Yeah, okay."
So far, among the peers who can achieve 100% synchronization, only Codename Sleep Disorder survived to the end, and the others died halfway. Not to mention reading the memories of other peers, the scene of Sleep Disorder alone made him feel extremely resistant.
Is that thing really a statue of the Virgin Mary?
It's too scary.
"What is that?" Shen Yunzhe asked the system.
[The image of the Virgin Mary is really hard to understand, you can also think of it as a medium.]
"Such a big medium?!"
【The medium is the main body's playground, and of course there can be such a large medium. 】
That makes sense. Shen Yunzhe rolled his eyes silently, thinking that you said before that there is no medium in this playground. Then he turned around and lay down to take a nap.
But the phone was not going to let him sleep and kept making message alerts. Shen Yunzhe picked up the phone with resentment, and it turned out to be the person with the Virgin Mary statue who was sending him a message.
[Chen Wei is a very hateful person. When he left, he told us about the statue of the Virgin Mary, which made us feel that the playground was impossible to resist.]
[But he also said that the playground is not completely unmanageable. The playground is also the place where obsessions and resentments are formed, and they can be dealt with.]
He didn't say anything else after that, but now the live streaming system has disappeared.
[How did you, or he, do it? ]
Shen Yunzhe looked at the message and chose to block it, then put the phone next to the pillow and went back to sleep. Codename hoped to be woken up by his movements. He opened his eyes in a daze and glanced at Shen Yunzhe, then reached out and took Shen Yunzhe's phone.
Use your fingerprint to open the phone screen and start typing.
[Shut up, you're annoying. I hate noise.]
The other party was silent. I don’t know if he was shocked by the reply or really felt that I disturbed him.
Codename Hope flipped through the chat history and frowned slightly, as if he remembered something.
It's not entirely true to say that he has recovered his memory. After all, he has been in that place for more than 20 years, and a lot of his memory has been more or less worn away. When he saw the word "prophet", he remembered something.
In his world, the code name Prophet belongs to Li Yuluan.
He was a fortune teller who could see a person's destiny. In the end, he grew to the point where he could see the future, including the future of the world.
He still remembered that Li Yiluan made his last prediction when he finally entered the game field.
He said that he saw a crying woman, with black tears flowing out of her eyes. She was holding something in her hands. She was so big that he couldn't see her face when he looked up. There were only tears falling on the ground.
Statue of the Virgin Mary?
Codename wanted to put the phone back, and he nestled obediently in Shen Yunzhe's arms.
If you really want to deal with the playground, you will always encounter it.
On the other side, Qiao Dong carefully looked through all the things left by Shen Wei. Not to mention the statue of the Virgin Mary, he did not see any elements related to the Virgin Mary at all, not even a stone statue.
Qiao Dong called his men and said, "Collect all the information about Shen Wei after he left the officialdom and carefully check if there are any elements related to the statue of the Virgin Mary."
In Qiao Dong's opinion, this statue of the Virgin Mary must be very important, so important that the other party has been struggling with Shen Wei's achievements for so many years. After the live broadcast system disappeared, they kept pestering Shen Yunzhe, wanting to know the reason for the disappearance of the live broadcast system. Shen Wei must have revealed something to them.
"What exactly is the statue of the Virgin Mary?" Qiao Dong murmured.
The pentagram sitting next to Qiao Dong looked up at him and said, "The Virgin Mary statue? Are you looking for this?"
"What do you know about the statue of the Virgin Mary?" Qiao Dong looked at him in surprise.
"No, I just seem to have heard of one thing." Pentagram recalled, "After Shen Wei left, only his disciple Wu Yan could communicate with him. One time, Wu Yan asked us a strange question."
Qiao Dong nodded, "What's the problem?"
"Wu Yan asked us, if there is an amusement park where you can revive your loved one, would you revive your loved one in the amusement park, or even spend the rest of your life there?"
"This is obviously not normal. Why would he ask such a strange question?"
“He said Shen Wei asked.”
Qiao Dong was stunned for a moment, "Chen Wei? Asking?"
"Yes, we even joked at the time, saying this wasn't the miracle of the Virgin Mary's resurrection." Pentagram spread his hands, "We all know that once you leave the playground, you will never enter the same playground again. No matter what Shen Wei thought, he made a choice. He chose reality and didn't indulge in the false playground."
"You suddenly mentioned the Virgin Mary and said it was related to Shen Wei, and I remembered this past event."
Qiao Dong thought for a moment, "Although I don't know if this has anything to do with the Virgin Mary, Shen Wei probably wouldn't ask such a strange question so easily, so it's better to record it."
"Unfortunately, Wu Yan is the only one who knows about this past event. He disappeared into the 'mountain village' and has not been heard from since. He has long been presumed dead." Pentagram sighed. "If Wu Yan were still alive, many things might not be so complicated. Shen Yunzhe might not even have gone to the orphanage."
Shen Wei may not trust anyone in the officialdom, but he trusts his only apprentice Wu Yan. As long as Wu Yan is there, he will entrust his only child to him.
"Speaking of this..." Qiao Dong asked, "Why would Wu Yan, the only one who could contact Shen Wei, go to the 'mountain village'? It's so dangerous there."
"In the past, it was Shen Wei who handled the issues in Shancun. But Shen Wei left the official, so this job has to fall on Wu Yan, who has been dealing with this issue with Shen Wei. There's nothing we can do about it. None of us understands Shancun better than he does."
"But the mountain village has suddenly experienced new changes, and Wu Yan has disappeared without a trace." Pentagram murmured, "Whether he is dead or alive is still unknown."
"The talisman master said he might still be alive. It's like they can stay at the train station temporarily. If he can endure the loneliness, he might really survive."
"After all, Wu Yan, as Shen Wei's student, is also a very perceptive mystic."
…
Codename Hope went back. The system said at the beginning that it could only keep it secret for a week at most. Codename Hope couldn't stay outside for too long. Shen Yunzhe could only sigh that he had to spend the New Year alone again.
After codenamed Hope left, Shen Yunzhe started doing another thing, visiting relatives and friends.
The children in the orphanage are all hospitalized, including Shen Xinlu. Shen Yunzhe has not visited them in the past few days.
Although Codename Hope had never shown any hostility towards them, he was truly an uncontrollable person. Who knew what he would do in the end? Rather than taking him to see patients and enduring the child's voice, it would be better to let him go alone later.
He first went to see the dean and the group of children. The children were almost well again. The dean stayed with them, and the life teacher went back to take care of the other children.
Seeing Shen Yunzhe coming, Dean Shen smiled at him.
"Xiaozhe." Dean Shen smiled and waved to him, "Come sit next to me."
Shen Yunzhe walked over and distributed the snacks he had bought to the children. Then he sat down next to the dean and said, "Sorry, I have something to do and I came just now."
"I'm so happy you're here," the director said. "Very few children who leave the orphanage come back. They all have their own lives and don't come back. I send batches of children out, not to make them come back."
"Is that man your brother?"
Shen Yunzhe knew he was talking about the code name Hope, "I guess so."
"He's a lot like you," Dean Shen said, "but he's a bit more outgoing than you."
Shen Yunzhe looked at Dean Shen in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course I do. I'm very good at judging people." Dean Shen patted his hand. Although he looked much older than Shen Yunzhe remembered, he still smiled helplessly and gently. "The most outrageous thing you did in the orphanage was breaking a doll. Actually, I was quite happy at the time. At least you really knew how to vent your emotions."
"You're such a quiet child. You appear incredibly quiet on the outside, but you're actually quite restless on the inside. You're a bit too repressed, or maybe you've grown up too early."
"I was hoping you'd be a little more willful, and luckily you were, and it surprised me." The dean said with a smile, "I watched you throw the doll down."
Shen Yunzhe was a little surprised, "You really saw it."
"I happened to be up at night, and I saw it." The dean made a hushing expression to Shen Yunzhe, "This is our little secret, and no one can tell it."
Shen Yunzhe finally couldn't help laughing. He nodded and said, "Thank you."
"Every child should be a treasure to the world." The director patted his shoulder. "Okay, go see your sister. She's been so bored these past few days, she keeps asking to be discharged."
Shen Yunzhe nodded, said goodbye to the dean, and turned to go upstairs. The trauma department and the internal medicine department were not on the same floor. When Shen Yunzhe went up, he saw Shen Xin opening the ward door. She looked sneaky, and the moment she saw Shen Yunzhe, she showed an awkward smile on her face.
"I actually want to go to the bathroom." Chen Xinlu said, "Really, to the bathroom."
Shen Yunzhe stood there looking at him, as if asking: Do you think I believe it?
So Shen Xinlu sighed, turned around and went back to the ward.
Unlike the dean, Shen Yunzhe and Shen Xinlu were barely of the same age. Shen Xinlu kept complaining that her arms and legs were about to rust. She felt that she was almost healed and really wanted to be discharged. She also asked Shen Yunzhe if he really worked in the government? What was going on with that younger brother? Was it really his ability?
Shen Yunzhe told him that he did not work for the government, but his father had connections with the government, so the government was taking better care of him for the time being.
As for codename Hope... I can only say that he is a little mentally ill, so it's best not to bother with him.
"I see." Chen Xinlu said, "I've been a police officer for so many years, but this is the first time I've made a mistake."
"He hates anything stimulating, stimulating sounds and smells. Things that are too bright or too dark can easily make him lose control," Shen Yunzhe said. "He's like the kind of doll that only fits in a greenhouse. He needs to be carefully nurtured. He's infinitely more picky than the dolls in my cabinet."
"But I think you're quite happy raising him." Chen Xinlu laughed at him, "I think he's also very attached to you."
Shen Yunzhe shook his head and sighed, "I'm stuck, there's nothing I can do about it. It's just my bad luck."
"Why do you say...you plan to live with him?" Chen Xinlu sighed, "Other people live with kittens and puppies, but you live with your own artificial doll? Life is just cosplay?"
"Come on, even police officers are so gossipy." Shen Yunzhe waved at her, "Okay, I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Let's go quickly. Let me go downstairs for a walk alone." Chen Xinlu waved her hand, as if asking him to leave quickly.
Just when Shen Yunzhe was about to say that he was going to complain, Shen Xinlu suddenly disappeared in front of him. Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment. He looked at the empty ward and hesitated briefly. Then he rushed out of the hospital and ran downstairs. The ward of the dean and the child was also empty, with no one in it.
The phone rang and Shen Yunzhe picked up the call without even looking at it.
"The person disappeared!" said Shen Yunzhe.
"Bad news!" the people on the other end of the phone spoke simultaneously. "The game has been restarted! It pulled all the players into the game before the announced time! Now..."
The voice stopped abruptly. Shen Yunzhe looked at the call interface on his mobile phone. Qiao Dong's call had been interrupted. At this moment, he noticed that the surrounding environment had changed.
In front of him was a familiar yet unfamiliar environment, a building with an open door, and several players standing there.
However, every player looked as confused as he did, and some even remained sitting and squatted on the ground.
"What's going on? It's not time to enter the playground yet!"
"No, I'm still eating!"
"I'm in my pajamas! Or slippers!"
Shen Yunzhe looked around and asked, "What's going on?"
[The game is a full-player game to restart the "surprise easter egg" so that new media can appear in large quantities and new "surprise easter eggs" can be obtained.]
[For this all-player game, all players have been shuffled into random game fields. Shen Yunzhe, please be careful.]
[This could be a beginner's playground, or a high-risk playground with a difficulty level of over 10.]
