Chapter 168
The woman's sudden breakdown and crying caught everyone present off guard.
Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua looked at each other, they looked at the crying woman blankly, and then looked at Shen Yunzhe who was comforting the woman in front of them blankly.
"Do you think Shen Yunzhe is a bit..." Huang Yihua looked at Shen Yunzhe and whispered to Li Yiluan, "Just like those men who are good at lying."
"The kind that provokes women and makes them cry?"
"right."
Li Yuluan thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because we chose a woman. Maybe she can make men cry."
Huang Yihua: …
To be honest, if I hadn't entered the playground with them, I would have had no idea that these two people could be so outrageous.
Shen Yunzhe comforted the crying woman and winked at them, "What are you standing there for? Hurry and look at the record book!"
The two men walked forward without changing their expressions, and finally walked behind the crying woman. They soon saw the small notebook hanging behind the door. Thankfully, the notebook was hanging not far from the door, so they didn't need to walk far in to see the words on it.
Sun Kui, a 7-5 player, does not belong to the organization or the official, and is an undiscovered player.
No one knew how she got the news about the mountain village and how she was chosen to appear here.
But now, she is dead, and even her identity has been taken over by something unknown. It is really pitiful.
Li Yiluan flipped open the file. Sun Kui's notebook was very thin, with only a dozen lines of words on it. Because Sun Kui had been here for such a short time, he could only record half a page of words.
【Residents from 7-5 have moved in. 】
Someone's walking around outside. Puzzled, you peer through the peephole and discover it's your neighbor. All of them are strangely moving around in the hallway, constantly walking and mumbling to themselves. You wonder if this is a cult. It's really inconvenient that this neighborhood doesn't have property management.
A neighbor knocks on the door and wants to invite you to join them, but you pretend not to be home.
But you forgot that this is Xiangsheng Community, where the residents are friendly and kind, living in peace. You are not a qualified resident.
The neighbors have all gone home, and it's finally quiet outside.
Li Yiluan stared at the words on the notebook. The previous ones were nothing special. Weird neighbors were something every player experienced on the first day.
What they want to see is the records after ten o'clock.
[22:03: Someone rang the doorbell. You looked out the peephole and saw nothing. Perhaps someone was playing a prank?]
[22:05: The doorbell rings again, but no matter how you look, there's no one outside. You try to ask who it is, but no one answers.]
[22:10: The ringing sound comes again. You finally can't stand it anymore. You decide...]
You decide to open the door and take a look.
You opened the door, and the air outside was cold. You tried shouting twice, but still nothing came. So you were about to close the door and go home, but just then, you saw a shadow flash by. When you turned around, you saw a man standing in your house.
【He stood there, standing...there.】
"Man?" Huang Yihua said silently to Li Yuluan.
The two men turned to look at the woman who was still crying, with a hint of subtlety on their faces.
"You're right." Huang Yihua whispered, "Shen Yunzhe is really someone who can make men cry."
The two of them came out of the room quietly. When Shen Yunzhe saw them come out, he knew they had finished watching.
Shen Yunzhe looked at Sun Kui in front of him. After their original purpose was achieved, he was finally ready to get some additional information.
"Why are you so tired?" Shen Yunzhe asked her with a hint of lightness in his voice.
This voice was different from that of the Virgin Mary. The Virgin Mary gave people an extremely sacred feeling, but Shen Yunzhe's voice was a kind of calmness that made people feel at ease, as if every word he spoke was to soothe people's hearts. Li Yuluen and Huang Yihua were shocked.
Although they didn't show it on their faces, they were already in turmoil inside.
They considered themselves friends with Shen Yunzhe and had seen him many times, but they had never seen him this way.
It was obviously the most ordinary sentence, but everyone who heard it instantly felt aggrieved and wanted to tell him all their grievances. This impulse was difficult to stop, and even Li Yuluen and Huang Yihua almost fell into it.
They finally realized that Shen Yunzhe's ability to make strange creatures cry... rather than human special abilities, was more like an infection and erosion of the playground.
Sun Kui's tears were hanging on her face. She grabbed Shen Yunzhe's sleeve and said, "It's the Virgin Mary."
"What happened to the Virgin Mary?" Shen Yunzhe continued to ask her.
"Our Lady can grant wishes, but not everyone can have their wishes fulfilled. That's why our Lady's supporters built this community. Residents of the community need to be selected, and only by entering the community can they have the opportunity to have their wishes fulfilled. The community opens once a year, and becoming a resident of the Saintly Community is everyone's dream!"
Shen Yunzhe nodded, "So, everyone is vying for an opportunity, right?"
"There are only so many spots available, and you can't buy them with money. No one knows the selection criteria for Xiangsheng Community." Sun Kui continued, "I wasn't selected, but I must be selected!"
"How pitiful." Shen Yunzhe looked at him with worry in his eyes, "Why does such a rule exist?"
"No one knows, but I must become a resident of Xiangsheng Community!" Sun Kui cried. "My son is seriously ill and has only one year left to live. I must become a resident saint to help me realize my wish and save my son."
"I'm going to be a resident no matter what!"
"Our Lady, Great Lady! Please help me realize my wish! Save my son!"
Shen Yunzhe looked at him gently, "But, I seem to have heard something."
Sun Kui looked at him, tears in her eyes, confused, "What?"
"I heard that the Xiangsheng Community can no longer grant wishes. The Virgin Mary can't help anyone anymore. This is a scam. Everyone has just wasted a year."
"impossible!"
Sun Kui screamed, "Impossible! The Virgin Mary must still be here! The Virgin Mary will heal my child, the Virgin Mary, the Virgin Mary..."
She said in a dazed voice, "This is my last hope, so it must be okay, my child will survive."
She stood up and walked slowly into the room. With a click, the door closed in front of them.
Shen Yunzhe tilted his head, he seemed a little confused as to why this person just left like that, but he had a good temper, and even if the other party was rude, Shen Yunzhe would not be unhappy. He just stood up and looked at the wish list next to him. On the wish list was a wish that had been crossed out and rewritten.
I hope my son can survive.
Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua did not say anything because they had noticed that Shen Yunzhe was not in a good state.
If he still looked like a person who could deceive people at the beginning, now he looked simple and innocent. This simplicity and innocence was not a disguise, but more like he was just like that. He looked calmly at others leaving rudely, and also looked calmly at the wish written by the strange object in front of him.
One even has to sigh: Poor guy.
So weird, so weird.
This strangeness made Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua afraid to approach, which is the human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
"You say: Does this Virgin Mary still exist?" Shen Yunzhe suddenly asked them.
They were startled and didn't know how to answer.
Shen Yunzhe didn't seem to care much either, and simply said, "If the wishes of everyone were granted at the beginning, but now only wishes of a certain community are granted, it can only mean that something happened to the Virgin Mary, and this has prevented her from freely granting wishes."
"Hmm." Shen Yunzhe looked at them, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Yiluan coughed and looked at Shen Yunzhe. "Is it Shen Yunzhe?"
"What else?"
"I just felt that you didn't seem like yourself anymore." Li Yiluan said, "To be honest, Huang Yihua and I were a little scared of you just now."
Huang Yihua nodded.
Many times people will instinctively feel that something is wrong, especially those with special abilities like Li Yulun and Huang Yihua. Li Yulun can see the fate of human beings, and Huang Yihua is from a dojo. Her talismans can harm strange objects, but she has been influenced by the dojo for many years and her sensitivity is higher than that of normal people.
Shen Yunzhe put them under tremendous mental pressure at that moment, because they subconsciously realized that if they continued to talk to Shen Yunzhe, they would lose their ability to control their thoughts.
There is a high possibility that they will follow Shen Yunzhe's words without even noticing.
"Really?" Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment, then smiled. "What about now?"
The moment Shen Yunzhe laughed, Li Yuluen and Huang Yihua subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they realized what they had done.
At that moment, the invisible mental pressure was swept away. Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua were a little surprised, but looking at Shen Yunzhe's smiling face, they did not ask.
They quickly told Shen Yunzhe what they saw in the room.
"As soon as the door is opened, they will be replaced. Perhaps because the candidates for the community are the same, even if they replace the original person, they must use this person's appearance." Shen Yunzhe speculated, "Then there is a new problem."
Shen Yunzhe raised his finger.
"What's the problem?"
"How do they disguise themselves as players?"
Huang Yihua frowned slightly, "You mean... there are conditions for disguising yourself as someone else?"
They had never thought about this problem, because it was a very normal thing for strange creatures to disguise themselves as players. The reason why strange creatures are strange creatures is because they can do anything, but now that Shen Yunzhe raised this question, they had to think in this direction.
Because of this, they suddenly realized that these strange creatures are currently following certain rules.
The weird creatures that are chosen to become residents, the weird creatures that try to replace others, and the weird creatures that try to replace others try every means to become residents. In some ways, they are really like humans.
Therefore, Shen Yunzhe's theories and ideas are actually logical.
"Tsk." Li Yiluan frowned, "How can we be sure of this?"
Shen Yunzhe thought for a while and said, "I have an idea."
"What?"
"Let's bribe those weirdos who want to replace others."
Li Yulun, Huang Yihua: ...?
The two honest and serious people were full of questions and had no idea what Shen Yunzhe meant.
Shen Yunzhe snapped his fingers. "Since those things want to become residents, then the player's resident status is an identity, and the resident status of the weird things is also an identity. You see, I can open the door, and we can definitely pick the lock to help the weird things outside get an identity."
"One resident ID in exchange for one document, what a bargain."
"It's better to deceive two more people and integrate their information to avoid being deceived by strange things."
After a long while, Huang Yihua finally spoke, "...It's a good thing you're not a businessman."
All the capitalists have to kowtow to him, and their calculations are all on the weird creatures!
…
Perhaps the game venue has never thought that any player would get clues in this way, and no player would believe that any player would actually use strange objects.
But Shen Yunzhe did just that, and even brought two accomplices with him.
"Will they really listen?" Huang Yihua followed Shen Yunzhe in a daze, and kept asking worriedly as they walked: "Do strange things really have thoughts? What if something goes wrong?"
"I still think we should take a long-term view."
Li Yiluan patted her shoulder and said, "Your dissuasion will not work."
"Because Shen Yunzhe is a person who doesn't listen to others. He will only act immediately after making a decision without considering other people's opinions at all."
Including the playground where they knew each other, Shen Yunzhe suddenly threw the sparrow out without telling anyone. It was so sudden that Li Yuluan was almost scared to the point of tripping, and he regretted it for the rest of his life in the playground.
From then on, Li Yuluan knew that Shen Yunzhe had such a bad habit.
"Are you saying bad things about me?" Shen Yunzhe turned around and looked at them.
"No, no, how could we dare?" Li Yuluan said expressionlessly.
Shen Yunzhe: ...
Okay, now is not the time to be angry, we need to implement the plan first.
After returning to Shen Yunzhe's home, Shen Yunzhe walked to the curtains in the living room as usual and opened them as usual. The next moment, Li Yuluen and Huang Yihua saw the pale man x3 sticking to the window.
Those people were clinging to the glass like geckos, staring at Shen Yunzhe and the other two quietly. After staring at each other for a long time, jealousy appeared in the eyes of the three pale-faced people at the same time.
They are jealous of them.
Shen Yunzhe reached out and knocked on the window glass. He looked at Li Yulu and Huang Yihua and asked, "Can you guys go outside and wait for a while?"
"What are you going to do?"
"That's right, be careful not to affect you." Shen Yunzhe smiled, "After all, didn't you say you were afraid of me before?"
Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua understood. They nodded and turned to leave the room.
Shen Yunzhe waited until the door clicked shut before turning around to look at the people outside.
He walked over and opened the window directly. The wind rushed in, and all kinds of sounds were heard in the wind. After realizing that Shen Yunzhe had opened the window, the three pale men immediately crawled over, as if they wanted to climb in through the window. Unfortunately, there was a layer of diamond net on the window, and they couldn't climb in at all.
So they thrust their fingers in with all their might, even though the diamond net instantly cut their fingertips and caused red blood to flow out.
“I want to become a resident of Xiangsheng Community!”
"No, I'm the resident!"
"The Virgin Mary will take care of me, you are just a foil!"
Shen Yunzhe listened to their quarrel with a calm look in his eyes. After a long time, he sighed slightly.
"Shh." Shen Yunzhe shushed them, signaling them to be quiet. "Be quiet, don't argue."
Shen Yunzhe said: "I have a way to allow you all to obtain resident status."
The three pale men were stunned for a moment. They stared at Shen Yunzhe, and even their eyes changed.
"Can you enter the complex?" Shen Yunzhe said, "As long as the residents open the door, you can replace them, right? I can make it easier for you because I can unlock the door. When the time comes, I can help you open the door, and you can quickly obtain your identity."
The pale man looked at Shen Yunzhe expressionlessly.
"Why?"
"He seemed to say he wanted to help us?"
"But why?"
"Because you are so pitiful." Shen Yunzhe said: "Poor people should be helped, just like people who want freedom should be free."
Shen Yunzhe smiled and said, "You also have the right to realize your wishes."
The pale people stared at Shen Yunzhe. After a long while, one of them spoke, "What do you want?"
"Yes, reward, what reward do you want?"
"Do you want us to help you take revenge on someone?"
"No, I don't want to retaliate against anyone, because I think everyone has their reasons for what they do." Shen Yunzhe leaned on the windowsill with both hands. "As long as I can help you, I'll be happy."
"In other words: whether or not you want to help me is your choice."
The pale man looked at Shen Yunzhe, "What do you want us to help you with?"
"I want to know about the Virgin Mary." Shen Yunzhe said, "I also want to know how you got into the community and how you replaced them."
"Can you tell me?"
The pale man leaned against the window. "We'll tell you at the entrance at ten o'clock tonight."
After saying that, three pale hands withdrew their fingers from the diamond net, then climbed down Shen Yunzhe's window and disappeared the next moment.
Shen Yunzhe watched them disappear. He tilted his head and whispered to himself, "Does this mean you agree?"
"Okay, I agree."
Shen Yunzhe turned his head and looked behind the door. The next moment he smiled, and the calmness and gentleness on his body disappeared completely.
"You can choose the victim."
Shen Yunzhe said: "All those weird things that like to cause trouble for others, get out of here!"
