Chapter 177
"Is this the medium?"
Huang Yihua murmured.
The corpse in a white robe was displayed on the rooftop. Even though there had been a heavy rain before, she didn't get wet. She lay there quietly with a beautiful and holy temperament. Even her death made people sad. Huang Yihua looked at the corpse and subconsciously wanted to walk over.
Shen Yunzhe grabbed her, she was stunned for a moment and looked at Shen Yunzhe, the next moment her face turned pale.
At that moment, she actually wanted to go over and accompany the corpse. Huang Yihua gasped and immediately stepped back.
Huang Yihua then looked at the surrounding buildings. "What is that? Why are there so many buildings? And if I'm not mistaken, every room in every building is filled with strange objects!"
"Aren't these buildings exactly the same as the Xiangsheng Community where we live?"
Shen Yunzhe was also looking at the buildings, frowning slightly.
"Two possibilities."
"First, Xiangsheng Community is very large, and these are all residents recruited over the years by Xiangsheng Community, and they are crammed into other buildings. Second,..."
Huang Yihua looked at Shen Yunzhe in confusion, "What's two?"
“Second, the ones we saw were all playgrounds.”
It's just a playground that was formed after eroding countless parallel worlds. Each building is a playground, and there are twenty players struggling in it. Finally, they are combined together to form such a huge scale that it is daunting.
"So what should we do now?"
"Let's go down first." Shen Yunzhe said, "I guess it's an invisible rule that we can't go to the rooftop and the basement. No one will touch the body here. Even if we get the medium now, we don't know what to do, but at least we know where it is."
"Once we determine where the media needs to be placed, we can move it."
That's all we can do.
Huang Yihua sighed silently in her heart. She took a last look at the corpse on the rooftop, then at the densely packed high-rise buildings outside, and finally frowned and turned to go downstairs.
It’s better not to look at it anymore. If you look at it again, you might really have to accompany this corpse.
This corpse was so terrifying that even she could hardly control her attraction to it.
When Shen Yunzhe returned to the first floor, he saw code name Xiwang flipping through the notebook in his hand. This time, not only two doors, but all the doors on the first floor were open. There was no trace of any strange creature, and he could only feel the cold wind in the corridor.
"Is this the huge statue of the Virgin Mary that I have seen?" Codename Hope asked Shen Yunzhe.
"Yes and no." Shen Yunzhe pulled the notebook out of his hand. "The Virgin Mary in the background story was innocent and kind, but she's dead. I've never felt there's any connection between the living and the dead. They need to be viewed separately."
Codename Hope smiled. He looked at Shen Yunzhe and said, "Don't you think you're cold and cruel?"
"What's so cruel about that? So far, all the weird creatures in the game field have had a tragic past. At least they weren't terrible people in life, but after death they still became weird creatures. Once they become weird creatures, they will be dominated by negative emotions. This is an unchanging fact."
"As long as there's no way to turn them back to their original form, we can't treat them as they were before."
Simply linking them together out of foolish kindness will only hurt yourself.
Shen Yunzhe is a good young man educated in modern society, but he is not stupid, nor is he foolishly kind.
He would not let his guard down against the Virgin Mary just because of her miserable past life. This was a horrible playground that destroyed almost all parallel worlds.
Before Codename could praise Shen Yunzhe, Shen Yunzhe suddenly said, "By the way, you should go back first."
The smile fell in an instant before it even appeared. Codename Hope looked at Shen Yunzhe aggrievedly, tears already gathering in her eyes.
"Shen Yunzhe, you want to drive me away!"
"Because you wear the same clothes as the Virgin Mary, I can't help but wonder if you are the Virgin Mary's son, or even her reincarnation." Shen Yunzhe said righteously, "To prevent me from having wild thoughts, you must go back now."
"Okay, okay, next time we meet, I'll take you home."
Before Codename Hope could react, she found herself back in the dark little box.
Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and Codename Hope casually wiped away the tears that came suddenly. In fact, he didn't want to cry, he just wanted to make Shen Yunzhe soften his heart. But unfortunately, Shen Yunzhe had already seen through his tricks and would not soften his heart at all.
"System," Codename Hope called out, "Shen Yunzhe said I'm the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary. What's going on?"
[Shen Yunzhe investigated the Holy Mother's background story. She possesses the ability to purify strange objects and wears the same white robe as you.]
Codename Hope glanced at the clothes on her body. "I've long forgotten when I changed into these clothes. And what about the ability to purify strange objects?"
"This isn't the ability to purify strange things; it's the ability to kill them directly. Saving and killing are completely opposite things."
"But it seems this Madonna is quite dramatic." Codename Hope looked up at the boundless darkness. "From ultimate good to ultimate evil, this polar reversal is truly a heavyweight."
[Compared to you, Shen Yunzhe meets this condition better.]
"Didn't you hear what Shen Yunzhe said? The dead and the living are not the same thing." Codename Hope said, "If it's true, you should pray it's false, because the Virgin Mary's child is already dead. If it's false, you should be thankful, because at least the savior you're looking for won't defect to the Virgin Mary's camp."
Codename Hope doesn't know what the Virgin Mary means by purification, but when people are alive, they are alive, and when they are dead, they are dead.
There is no possibility of the resurrection of the dead.
…
Huang Yihua went downstairs. Unless it was a special situation, she would stay in the room. She looked at the time as she walked. It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and there was still some time before ten o'clock. She was thinking about whether she should go out and take a look.
She became disturbed after seeing the body of the Virgin Mary.
She sensed something was wrong, but even when she applied the Heart-Clearing Talisman to herself, her mind was still filled with the image of the Virgin Mary's corpse.
She should have gone back to her room immediately, and she knew very well that if she wandered outside she might end up on the rooftop to accompany the corpse, but she just couldn't convince herself and was unwilling to go back to her room.
Huang Yihua leaned against the wall in the corridor, she felt panic.
This was the first time she felt so panicked in the playground.
She kept sticking talismans on herself and then kept trembling. While trembling, she raised her head uncontrollably and looked up, as if she could see the body of the Virgin Mary on the rooftop at a glance. She realized belatedly that she could not be separated from Shen Yunzhe now.
But it was too late to say anything.
Huang Yihua stood up slowly, turned around and walked up the corridor. She raised her head and walked up step by step, each step was resolute and hesitant.
And just like that, she went up one floor.
No, we can’t go any further!
The above is taboo! You will die!
Huang Yihua, you are the official talisman master. You retain the last hope of being able to harm the strange creatures. Your blood can help many ordinary people. If you die now, everything will be meaningless.
Huang Yihua bit her tongue, the pain penetrated into her heart, but she couldn't stop at all.
Just when her thoughts were about to disappear, suddenly, someone grabbed her. Huang Yihua gasped for breath instantly, and those controlled thoughts came back all at once. She opened her eyes wide, but the person in front of her in a trance was not anyone she was familiar with.
"Hu...Hu fame and fortune?!"
The replaced Hu Mingli twisted his neck and pressed Huang Yihua against the wall with an expressionless face.
"What are you going to do?!"
"Only you know." Hu Mingli said in an inhumanly shrill voice, "Only you know that I am not me! Are you going to complain to the Virgin Mary?"
"I won't let you go."
"Kill you, if I kill you no one will know!"
"I will become a resident of Xiangsheng Community, I will realize my wish, and I will become the most successful person."
Hu Mingli grabbed Huang Yihua's neck, and Huang Yihua couldn't breathe instantly. She kept coughing and slapping the person in front of her, and took off the talisman from her body and stuck it on him, but unlike that night, Hu Mingli did not let go even when the talisman was burning.
He laughed wildly and exerted force, and the talisman burned a big hole in his arm, exposing the pale skin inside, exactly the same as the strange creature outside.
Huang Yihua felt her vision blur and her consciousness began to fade. She knew that this was due to suffocation and lack of oxygen. If this continued she would die soon.
But now she couldn't even make a sound, let alone resist.
Just when she was about to lose consciousness, there was a bang, and the sound of porcelain breaking rang in Huang Yihua's ears. The hand that was strangling her neck loosened instantly, and Huang Yihua fell limply to the ground. She slowly and forcefully opened her eyes and found a familiar person standing in front of her.
"Hey, are you okay?" Li Yiluan shook her. "Are you dead?"
Huang Yihua coughed violently, her eyes looking behind Li Yuluan.
Li Yuluan turned his head and saw that there was a big hole on the back of Hu Mingli's head, and his arms were covered with burnt white skin. He stood in front of Huang Yihua and Li Yuluan, his dead white eyes full of jealousy.
Li Yulun stood in front of Huang Yihua and said, "Don't be impulsive. I saw your end."
"There are two of us, and we both know you're not Hu Mingli. You can't catch both of us at once. If one of us escapes, we can tell the Virgin Mary, and she will disqualify you." Li Yiluan said, "I've seen your end. You'll be punished by the Virgin Mary and thrown out of the Xiangsheng Community, and you'll never be able to return."
Hu Mingli's face changed.
"You're still hurting our neighbors. We're residents of Xiangsheng Community. Residents of Xiangsheng Community live in harmony and no disputes are allowed." Li Yiluan looked at him. "You've violated the rules. The Virgin Mary will resent you."
Hu Mingli stared at them viciously.
While Hu Mingli was motionless, Li Yuluan immediately helped Huang Yihua up and dragged Huang Yihua downstairs. He ran very fast.
They all knew that the one who could ignore the strange objects now was Shen Yunzhe. Only he had the method to deal with the strange objects, and they would have no way out if they faced the strange objects.
It happened that Shen Yunzhe did not return to the room. After all, the code name wanted to clear out all the strange things on the first floor. Once the room was empty, a lot of record books appeared. Shen Yunzhe was reading the records one by one, making archives in his mind while reading.
Then he heard crackling sounds in the corridor. Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look at the corridor entrance and happened to see Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua rolling down from above.
Shen Yunzhe: ...?
Li Yilun immediately got up and dragged the semi-conscious Huang Yihua. When he saw Shen Yunzhe, he shouted, "Come and help!"
The next moment, a familiar player walked out, and Hu Mingli seemed to understand something.
"She can't escape anymore. Kill you, then come back and kill her!"
Hu Mingli raised his hand.
But the next moment he suddenly felt a pressure on his body. He moved his eyes but his whole body could not move. He was frozen in place.
Li Yuluan gasped as he watched him stop moving. Huang Yihua had not regained consciousness yet.
Shen Yunzhe ran over, and he and Li Yuluan quickly carried Huang Yihua up and ran into the room. They ran all the way to room 1-1 and locked the door heavily. Only then did Shen Yunzhe breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?"
"How should I know!" Li Yiluan looked very innocent. "I just came back and saw him strangling Huang Yihua's neck. In an emergency, I could only drag him out and find you immediately."
Shen Yunzhe looked at Huang Yihua who was lying on the ground. The marks on her neck became even redder and swollen after the commotion, which looked particularly glaring on the woman's delicate neck. Shen Yunzhe frowned and picked up the person on the ground and put her on the sofa.
"Something's wrong," Shen Yunzhe said. "Huang Yihua just returned to her room. She should have known better than to leave. So why did she leave the room and get grabbed by Hu Mingli?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the door of 1-1's room was kicked hard.
"Come out! You damn bastard! Come out!!" The door was slammed hard.
Shen Yunzhe walked to the door and said, "Li Yilu, go to Huang Yihua."
Li Yuluan didn't ask why. In most cases, he believed in Shen Yunzhe unconditionally.
After making sure that Li Yuluan was with Huang Yihua, Shen Yunzhe opened the door and with a bang, Hu Mingli fell to the ground.
"Synchronous codename erosion."
[World C07390, codenamed Corrosion Synchronization, synchronization rate 100%.]
Shen Yunzhe looked at Hu Mingli who had fallen to the ground. He showed a worried expression, "Neighbor, are you okay?"
Hu Mingli raised his head and stared at Shen Yunzhe with pale eyes, "Hand him over!"
"What are you talking about? Aren't we all neighbors? I'm sorry, but I just can't agree with you."
Hu Mingli was stunned for a moment, and it could even be said that this stunned state was very strange. Li Yuluan quietly observed Shen Yunzhe and Hu Mingli. In reality, the strange creatures would not listen to what the players said at all, but this Hu Mingli not only listened to Shen Yunzhe's words, but also listened to them all.
"Agree?" He even asked back!
"Isn't this Xiangsheng Community?" Shen Yunzhe looked at him. "Every one of us is a resident of Xiangsheng Community. We must coexist peacefully."
"Why do you have such malice towards your neighbors? Aren't you one of our residents?"
"But if that's the case, you can't be standing here." Shen Yunzhe smiled at him.
“I think honest people are the most qualified residents.”
Hu Mingli stood there in a daze. He looked at Shen Yunzhe, his pale eyes trembling.
After a long time, he slowly knelt at the door, kneeling in front of Shen Yunzhe. He carefully raised his hand and looked at his palm. After a long time, he slowly covered his face with his hands, his eyes wide open.
"I'm not an honest person."
"I don't deserve to be a resident of Xiangsheng Community."
“I am an unqualified person.”
He began to cry and roar. Li Yuluan watched Hu Mingli tearing off his facial skin. He cried out in pain. The layer of skin covering his face was torn off by him forcefully, leaving broken skin fragments everywhere.
He was tearing his body apart as if in real pain, crying and saying that he was not an honest person.
"I actually did this kind of thing. I am a bad person. I am so despicable."
“Why would I do this?”
"I should die!"
He stood up with torn skin and rushed directly to the window in front of the elevator. Li Yuluan heard a bang, the sound of broken glass. It was not difficult to imagine that he broke the glass and threw himself out.
This time, he really couldn't become a resident of Xiangsheng Community.
Shen Yunzhe slammed the door shut.
He exhaled, looking very satisfied.
"I helped another good person today."
Li Yilun: ...
hehe.
