Chapter 171
Shen Yunzhe smiled, but it was hard to tell whether the smile was of happiness or sadness.
"Shen Yunzhe." Li Yiluan came over. "Do you want to keep going forward? If you go any further, you'll be out of the area we're in."
"Let's go, why not? We have finally come out here, of course we have to find all the clues." Shen Yunzhe smiled.
Li Yiluan looked at him for a moment and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine." Shen Yunzhe said, "I'm very good at comforting myself."
Afraid that Li Yilun wouldn't believe him, he smiled and spread his hands to emphasize, "It's true."
Codename Fraudster is really good at comforting himself. He is positive and can always find a way out. He thinks he is satisfied. Although he is unlucky, he finally left according to his own ideas. This is enough. After all, he is so easy to satisfy.
The world will not give complete preferential treatment to anyone, and it is very normal to die in the game field.
He wasn't even a playground kill! Cool enough!
Li Yuluan nodded, not sure whether he believed it or not, but he did not continue asking, probably because he knew that asking would not get him anything.
They walked forward with the faint light of the flashlight. They remembered that they came out from this place. They didn't see anything strange at that time. Now they came out late at night and groped their way in the light. As they walked, Shen Yunzhe looked around.
"Is it foggy here?"
"Fog?" Li Yiluan raised his phone and shone it into the darkness before him. "I do think I saw something white."
At this moment, a shadow flashed by. Li Yuluan saw it at a glance because he was looking around. The small light from the mobile phone illuminated a woman's face. Li Yuluan's hand trembled and he put down the phone tremblingly.
"Fuck." He cursed softly, "Did you see that?"
"I saw it." Shen Yunzhe nodded, "There was a woman."
"What should we do now?"
Shen Yunzhe was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Do you often say: I'm really unlucky?"
"Yeah, so what?" Li Yuluan turned and looked at Shen Yunzhe.
At this time, Shen Yunzhe was holding a mobile phone, and a faint light was emitting from the phone. Li Yuluan opened his eyes slightly, and he saw a pair of pale hands appear on Shen Yunzhe's shoulders. The hands were clutching Shen Yunzhe's clothes, and a head slowly rose from behind him.
Li Yuluan held his breath, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Shen..."
"I know." Shen Yunzhe said, "From now on, we will separate and search for clues in different places. We will meet at the gate of the community at four o'clock."
"But!"
"It doesn't matter." Shen Yunzhe said expressionlessly: "Don't forget, I still have Yunxi here."
Oh, yes! Shen Yunzhe's brother who can directly attack strange objects!
Because he hadn't seen his younger brother for a long time, he even forgot Shen Yunxi's existence.
If it was Shen Yunxi, there shouldn't be any problem with Shen Yunzhe. After all, he is the only player who can directly attack the strange creature.
After making sure that Shen Yunzhe would be fine, Li Yuluan turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Shen Yunzhe waited until Li Yuluan's figure disappeared before he slowly exhaled. At the same time, the thing behind him began to speak.
"I liked you the first time I saw you. I love you."
"Who are you? Why do you make me fall madly in love with you?"
"No one has ever said such words to me, and no one has ever cherished me so much. This is the first time I have felt warmth."
“Are you the God who came to save me?”
"Can you stay with me forever?"
The woman stretched out her pale head, and a line of bloody tears fell from her gouged eyes. If you look closely, you will be surprised to find that her face is exactly the same as the sculpture in front of the Virgin Mary.
The more Shen Yunzhe listened to her words, the more he wanted to frown.
Why is it like this again...
"Aren't you in front of the Virgin Mary?" Shen Yunzhe said, "If you come to me like this, the Virgin Mary will blame you."
“Holy Mother, Holy Mother,” the woman murmured. “No, actually, you gave me a reason to tell me that there are people in this world who care about me besides the Holy Mother.”
The woman hugged Shen Yunzhe from behind and said, "I love you. I want to be with you."
Just then, Shen Yunzhe heard footsteps.
Hearing footsteps at this time is a very scary thing.
Because the footsteps were neither fast nor slow, it was obvious that someone was walking slowly towards them. It definitely couldn't be Li Yuluan. Li Yuluan would not do such a thing that would harm others and benefit himself. Even if he was really stupid enough to run back, he would not walk so slowly.
The woman obviously heard the sound as well. She raised her head and tears of blood flowed down her cheeks.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and she was visibly panicking.
"No, no!" the woman cried in fear. "Holy Mother! I didn't betray you!"
"Holy Mother! I am your believer! I sacrificed my own children to you! I just met the one I love!"
"Please forgive me! Please let me be with the one I love!"
Amid the woman's screams behind him, a figure slowly emerged in the darkness illuminated by Shen Yunzhe's cell phone.
It was wearing a black robe, and its whole body was blended into the darkness. If it weren't for the light shining on the folds, Shen Yunzhe couldn't even see the person walking towards it. Finally, the Virgin Mary stopped about two meters away from Shen Yunzhe. Shen Yunzhe held his breath and looked at her, his heart beating constantly.
The Virgin Mary raised her hands.
The woman behind him let out a scream, dropped her arms that were hugging Shen Yunzhe, and rolled on the ground, howling miserably.
But the howl only lasted for less than three seconds. Only a creaking sound was heard, as if nothing had happened. The whole world was silent, so silent that Shen Yunzhe felt creepy.
The woman behind him disappeared.
The one before him was the real Virgin Mary.
Just as Shen Yunzhe was about to shout out the code name in the hope of fighting, and the system was nervously preparing to contact, the Virgin Mary's raised hand turned and pointed in a certain direction.
The next moment it disappeared into the darkness, as if it had never appeared.
Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment.
He subconsciously looked at the location the Virgin Mary pointed to. After a long moment, he finally spoke, "...Did the Virgin Mary point out a location for me just now?"
Don't ask me, I don't know.
[I haven't had any contact with it since the mountain village. Everything depends on you.]
Shen Yunzhe looked towards that location and asked, "Should I go over and take a look?"
[You make the decision, don't worry, the parallel world system has your back. As the only miracle, your counterpart and I will not let you die. As long as there is a possibility, we will find a way to save you, so go ahead fearlessly.]
"Now that you say so."
Shen Yunzhe stepped forward and said, "Then let's go over and take a look."
Before leaving, Shen Yunzhe glanced at the time. It was now 01:03 in the morning, and there were still about three hours left.
That's enough.
He used the light from his cell phone to illuminate the way ahead. After walking for about ten minutes, he saw a small house. Shen Yunzhe shone the light over there and finally saw a house number.
"Security room?"
Shen Yunzhe looked at the sign in surprise, "It's the security room?!"
Almost every community has a security room, which is standard in modern communities. However, this is a playground, so it is not surprising that there is no security room. However, I did not expect that this community has a security room. However, they are restricted by rules and cannot leave the community during the day. They cannot run around freely during the pilgrimage at 3 pm and must return to the community after the pilgrimage.
Only after 10 o'clock in the evening can you leave the community through the loophole and find this security room.
The process is complicated and dangerous.
It simply makes people afraid to move forward.
At this moment, Shen Yunzhe discovered that there was also a notebook hanging at the door of the security room. The notebook looked even older than the ones inside the community. It was obvious that it had been placed here for too long.
Shen Yunzhe tried to open the notebook and found that there were words on it, and there were even a lot of words.
This security guard is a chatterbox, and there are all sorts of random things written on it.
Shen Yunzhe thought: Thank goodness the security guard is a chatterbox.
On my first day as a security guard, I never imagined I'd end up working for the famous Xiangsheng Community. It's said that this community has a Madonna who can grant people's wishes. My senior said that if I worked diligently, I'd eventually become a resident and maybe even see the Madonna.
Who is the Virgin Mary? I've been asking this question to my seniors for a long time, and they told me: The Virgin Mary is a great woman who is kind to everyone.
[We caught several petty thieves on patrol at night. They actually tried to sneak into Xiangsheng Community in the middle of the night and pretend to be residents. How despicable!]
My senior suddenly resigned and left. He had clearly been working for another year and would have become a resident of Xiangsheng Community next year. Before leaving, he told me mysteriously, "The Virgin Mary has changed. She has lost her power. She has used up all her kindness in this life and can no longer help people realize their wishes."
[But I didn't come to work in this community to ask the Virgin Mary to fulfill my wishes.]
[A few more thieves who tried to crawl in were caught.]
Someone in Xiangsheng Community jumped from a building. It seems to be one of the 1-2 residents. She climbed to the top floor early in the morning and jumped directly from the ninth floor. The fall was so severe that she died instantly. The community was completely silent. But why would someone commit suicide in Xiangsheng Community? It's unbelievable.
[Another person died. This one was in an elevator accident. A piece of his head was cut off.]
[What's going on? More and more people are dying!]
I came to the statue of Our Lady, knelt on the ground and asked Her what was going on. To my surprise, Her Lady actually appeared before me and told me that this was because these people were not sincere enough, and even had dirty hearts. Her Lady could not fulfill their wishes, but they were demanding that their wishes be fulfilled.
【Their death is the price of wish fulfillment.】
I felt relieved. I met the property management staff on the way and happily shared the Virgin Mary's message with them, but their faces immediately turned grim.
【They told me: Our Lady is dead.】
The record ends here and there is no more.
Shen Yunzhe put down the notebook and thought about the contents in it. He noticed a word: property.
The rules of the community say that they have no property management, but if you leave the community at 10 o'clock in the evening, you will find a security room. The records of the security room mention the property management. Perhaps there was a property management in the beginning, but now, like this security room, it is no longer included in the community.
It seems that I still need to find this property and take a look.
Shen Yunzhe turned around and prepared to leave, but the moment he turned around, his eyes suddenly widened and his body stiffened.
Because behind him, a man in security uniform was looking at him. He had no eyeballs, his pupils were white, and he was extremely conspicuous in the darkness.
"Who are you?" asked the security guard.
"I'm a resident of Xiangsheng Community, 1-1." Shen Yunzhe said, "Sorry, I accidentally left the community and haven't been able to go back. I saw a house here and came over to stay for a while. It's really dark outside."
"A resident of 1-1?" The security guard looked him up and down. "Oh, I remember you. You moved into the complex a few days ago, right?"
Shen Yunzhe raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at the security guard and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity from him.
Now I remember, it was the person who distributed food at 3pm!
"Don't run around in Xiangsheng Community." The security guard didn't seem to care much about how he got out of the community. "Especially at night, there are a lot of thieves wandering around at night."
Shen Yunzhe nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I have always wanted to go back, but I can't find the way."
The security guard looked at him for a long time before speaking, "I'll give you the directions. Go find the property management and have them open the door for you. Don't stay here at night. It's very dangerous."
"That's great, thank you, brother."
The security guard silently pulled out a piece of paper, drew a zigzag line on it, and handed it to Shen Yunzhe, "Here, let's go."
Shen Yunzhe looked at the map, which was so simple that it couldn't be simpler, with an expressionless face, thinking that the security guard's drawing skills needed to be improved.
Of course he couldn't say it out loud, so Shen Yunzhe left with many thanks.
When he met the security guard in the security room, he was not hurt at all. He even gave him the address to the property management. Except for the whites of his eyes, Shen Yunzhe felt that this security guard was surprisingly normal. He was the most human-like weirdo Shen Yunzhe had ever encountered in the playground.
It's so strange that there are strange human-like creatures in the playground.
Codename Fraud Master has always been versatile, and he can also see this extremely outrageous route map. Shen Yunzhe clutched the paper and walked step by step towards the property. Before leaving, he also confirmed the current time, which was 01:48.
It didn't take too long in the security room, and he still had plenty of time.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, Shen Yunzhe saw the new house with the word "Property" written crookedly outside the house.
There really is property.
Shen Yunzhe was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, and then began to think about the route he had taken. He would have to go back along the same route soon. If it was four o'clock in the morning, he would have to set off at three-thirty at the latest, and it would be best to go back at three o'clock to avoid accidents on the road.
After making the calculations, Shen Yunzhe took another deep breath and then stepped into the property management office.
Unlike the security room, the property room showed considerable damage, with dust everywhere, and it was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.
Shen Yunzhe avoided some messy things and finally found the innermost room, where he saw a table with messy documents on it.
Shen Yunzhe picked up the document and found that it contained the information of the owners of Xiangsheng Community.
From 1-1 to 8-9, everyone's information is very complete.
"What exactly are the selection criteria for Xiangsheng Community?" Shen Yunzhe flipped through the information. "It doesn't seem like there's anything in common. Is it really just random? A matter of luck?"
Shen Yunzhe took out a stack of information again, but this time he raised his eyebrows subtly. He saw something wrong in the information.
The first person in this information is someone Shen Yunzhe is familiar with, the girl 1-2 who smashed Shen Yunzhe's door in the middle of the night.
[Superiority complex: A girl who pretended to be from a wealthy family from a young age, started working part-time in middle school to buy luxury goods to maintain her status. She dropped out of high school but disguised herself as a student at a certain university. This strong sense of superiority has been her lifelong passion, and she longs to become a truly wealthy person.]
Shen Yunzhe had indeed felt her sense of superiority.
She baked cookies in her room every day and even opened the curtains and windows just to see the envious looks from people.
Her sense of superiority is strong and terrifying. It is probably her wish to enter Xiangsheng Community. After all, compared to a large number of rich people, it is the most difficult to become a resident of Xiangsheng Community.
"In other words: To become a resident of the Xiangsheng Community, one must possess some kind of strong desire?"
"Yeah?"
