Chapter 63
Everyone entered the game field at the designated time. It might not have been easy for everyone, but everyone was calm and composed, and it was clear that everyone had experience.
Shen Yunzhe looked at the people around him, counted them and confirmed that there were nine of them, including him, five men and four women.
"Mr. S?" A woman suddenly spoke. She wore black-framed glasses, loose bell-bottom pants and a white shirt. Her long hair was loose. She was tall and pretty.
Shen Yunzhe blinked.
He suddenly remembered that he had been live-streamed to all players in the community...
"I felt like it just now, but I didn't expect it to be true?" A man also spoke up, "Is it really S?!"
"What is S?" Some players didn't know.
Shen Yunzhe took two steps back and explained, "No, the person you're looking for isn't me. He's not here."
The two who recognized Shen Yunzhe exchanged a glance, then smiled. "What are you talking about? Even if you're not that mysterious player, it doesn't matter. We've all seen your performance. You must be a veteran player. We're relieved to have you around."
The people around him looked at Shen Yunzhe in surprise after seeing this scene, and confirmed that he was a big boss.
After all, the players are random and no one knows each other. How is it possible that two people can get close to one player in one game?
"Anyway, everyone, please introduce yourselves. We're not new here, are we?" The woman who spoke first introduced herself. "My name is Wang Shiyu, and I'm in the fifth game. I'm quite courageous and I'm willing to go to dangerous places. That's why I'm still alive."
"Wen Hai." The man also began to introduce himself, "I am the sixth game."
Soon everyone introduced themselves. Shen Yunzhe did not hide and said his name and game number.
Not surprisingly, Shen Yunzhe was the only one in the entire venue who was playing the fourth game.
The people present looked at Shen Yunzhe in confusion. After a moment, they seemed to understand something. Shen Yunzhe realized that they seemed to have imagined something, but Shen Yunzhe didn't want to explain. No one would believe him anyway. Wouldn't all game venues be like this in the future?!
It's so troublesome.
After introducing each other, it was time to start their mission. They looked ahead and saw that the dilapidated playground looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. Weeds had grown on the ground that were taller than their ankles, and there were patches of rust on the amusement equipment, making people suspect that the equipment would malfunction if they sat on it.
But we have to do it, the task is to let them play on all the amusement equipment in the amusement park.
"This mission doesn't require exploration. We just need to follow the route." Wang Shiyu took a photo of the route to the amusement park entrance. "This way, we don't have to split up to look for things. We can all work together to build equipment, which ensures everyone's safety."
Wang Shiyu said, "The closest rides to us are the pirate ship and rapids next to us, and further ahead are the carousel and Ferris wheel."
She looked at everyone and asked, "Which one should we play first?"
"Let's put the Ferris wheel aside for now. There are too many horror legends here, so we'd better avoid all potentially dangerous places." Another player, Zhang Xian, answered. He was an old player of the sixth game. He looked very young and spoke in an elegant manner, like a child from a scholarly family.
"Avoid high places too." Shen Yunzhe said, looking at the Ferris wheel, "If you fall off, you'll be dead."
Everyone nodded and they immediately decided to go to the carousel first.
Of these options, a carousel appears to be the least dangerous device.
They walked together towards the path leading to the carousel. Shen Yunzhe lowered his head to look at the weeds under his feet. The weeds were growing well. They had obviously grown out of the cracks in the concrete floor, but they were very fat, with thick roots and tender green leaves. It looked like they had no shortage of water or fertilizer.
This path passes by the pirate ship. As Shen Yunzhe walked, he looked up at the stationary flying ship in front of him. Players walking along the path will more or less observe their surroundings.
Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look at them. At this moment, Shen Yunzhe saw that the face of a girl in front of him suddenly turned pale. She looked at the pirate ship in horror, not knowing what she saw.
Shen Yunzhe turned his head and continued to look at the pirate ship, confirming again that there was nothing on the pirate ship.
"Woman..." The girl said with a pale face, "There is a woman on the pirate ship!"
Shen Yunzhe still remembered her. When she introduced herself, she said her name was Ji Yu and she was a graduate student. This was her fifth game.
Everyone was startled by her and everyone quickly determined the woman's location.
But no matter how you look at it, the pirate ship is empty, there are no women at all.
Then their frightened eyes gradually turned into confusion.
"Where did this woman come from?" Wen Hai asked, "Why didn't I see her?"
"Me neither," said Zhang Xian.
"It's right there! She's hanging on the pirate ship with her head down. Can't you see it?!" Ji Yu was anxious. She looked at everyone in panic, and then looked inside the pirate ship. Her panic was gradually deepening.
Everyone present looked at each other, and finally looked at Ji Yu with a strange look.
In the game field, it happens that one person can see what others cannot see, but this is not a good thing because this special feature can only make them sure of one thing.
That is: anyone who sees it will be unlucky.
Ji Yu's face was pale. She could only rub her eyes helplessly and look at the pirate ship again and again.
In her eyes, a woman in a white dress was sitting on the pirate ship. She was stuck in the seat with her head down. She looked as quiet as a dead object. Ji Yu closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was horrified to find that the woman in white was no longer on the pirate ship.
She was hung from the tip of the pirate ship, the pirate ship's rope hanging around her neck, her body swaying in the wind.
"Look, there's so much blood here!" Wang Shiyu spotted something and pointed at the weed-covered tourist access fence. "It's all drying up under the grass."
Shen Yunzhe walked over and took a look. He looked at the traces of blood and then looked up at the pirate ship.
"Splash marks," Shen Yunzhe said. "From the angle of the spray, it looks like something was hanging on the pirate ship. Then, as the ship swayed, the body hit something, and the blood was knocked out, and inertia spread here."
Shen Yunzhe touched his chin, "Otherwise the blood wouldn't have gotten here."
Everyone's faces looked ugly, and Ji Yu's face looked even worse because she really saw the corpse hanging and swaying on the pirate ship.
Just then, a man pointed at the sign in front. There was a dark mark on the sign. He said in a trembling voice, "Could it be this?"
Shen Yunzhe estimated the distance and nodded, "Eighty percent."
"How do you know this? Do you have any evidence?!" Ji Yu shouted, "If you don't say so, then this is how things will develop!"
Shen Yunzhe looked at Ji Yu in confusion, and after a moment he spoke, "I'm a forensic doctor."
One sentence dispelled everyone's doubts.
If he were a forensic doctor, he could indeed tell.
It turned out to be a forensic doctor.
It is not easy to impersonate a forensic doctor. It requires a reasonable and solid knowledge base, and medical skills. Normal people would not pretend to be this profession. Since Shen Yunzhe dared to say it, it means that he has a certain degree of confidence, and it can only be true.
Even if it was fake, if he really had the knowledge and ability, then it wouldn't matter.
Seeing that everyone around him believed it, Shen Yunzhe looked calm, but he was thinking about something in his mind.
Did you match a new codename peer after entering the game? Or a forensic doctor?
[World C07390, codename Locksmith begins synchronization.]
Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment. What did he just hear?
【Synchronization successful, synchronization rate 30%.】
This is an abandoned amusement park, and the facilities are not under maintenance. It is normal for the locks to have problems. A locksmith can open almost any lock, making him a very useful codename peer.
Okay, Shen Yunzhe thought expressionlessly.
I just don't know what kind of personality this locksmith has and whether it will have any impact on him.
I can't notice it at all now.
Ji Yu obviously didn't want to give up. She began to avoid the pirate ship and observe the things around her. Everyone stopped here temporarily. Shen Yunzhe also started to look, and then found the notification panel that the pirate ship was under maintenance and suspended. Shen Yunzhe stared at this panel and realized: Even if there was no female ghost on the pirate ship, it would be difficult for them to complete this amusement project.
"It needs repairs." Wang Shiyu, who was standing next to me, also saw the sign. "It brings back bad memories. When I was a kid, I went to an amusement park for the first time and really wanted to ride the roller coaster. But when I got there, I found out it was under repairs, so I didn't get to ride it. I felt that regret for a long time."
Shen Yunzhe looked at her and spoke after a moment, "I've never been to an amusement park."
Wang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
Yes, Shen Yunzhe had never been to an amusement park, and his impression of amusement parks came from TV dramas.
After all, he is an orphan, and he has no money and no time to go to the amusement park. He worked part-time to earn a living in college and has never even had a love life. After work, he dedicated all his salary to his children and had no spare money left for the amusement park.
It seems that he won’t go there again after leaving this playground, as he will have psychological trauma.
Still no problems were found, and Ji Yu could no longer see the strange woman. They chose to go to the carousel and use this simple amusement project to determine the level of danger of the amusement park.
The ground of the carousel was covered with green weeds and the horse looked very shabby.
"How do we get up here?"
"Where's the ticket? Do I need to swipe it?"
Everyone took out their phones to open the announcement, and the next moment an electronic ticket popped up.
E-ticket!
"Pretty much keeping up with the times?" Shen Yunzhe complained.
Just after Shen Yunzhe finished complaining, he heard a short scream from someone. Everyone raised their heads and looked around vigilantly, and then they saw the ticket gate.
A pale hand stretched out from the window, holding a card reader, just lying there.
With a creak, the carousel door opened.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether they should go up or not.
Shen Yunzhe looked at the hand, he looked around, and finally he was the first to walk over. He waved the phone in front of the pale hand, and there was a ding sound, and a voice came from the machine.
"Verification passed, stamped."
Shen Yunzhe put his phone away and saw a small stamp on the electronic card in his phone. Shen Yunzhe frowned slightly, thinking: Isn't this just a ticket verification? How can it be directly stamped?
With this doubt in mind, Shen Yunzhe found a carousel to sit on and waited for others to come up. While waiting, he exited the announcement and clicked into the live broadcast area that he had not seen for a long time.
As soon as Shen Yunzhe clicked in, he felt a familiar taste.
[Carousel, isn't this a standard feature in romance novels? ]
[The standard feature is the Ferris wheel, not the carousel. It's pretty standard for a horror game.]
Everyone here seems very calm this time. There are no newcomers. Why do I remember this place used to be a low-level gaming place?
[I think it's upgraded. I've never seen a game like this start with a ghost.]
"So, you don't know what will happen?" Shen Yunzhe suddenly spoke.
The barrage was silent for two seconds. Perhaps the audience didn't expect that a player was peeking at the screen while they were happily discussing!
"Even you, the audience, are unfamiliar with the game field, or rather, the game field has changed. This means that your appeal to players has decreased." Yunzhe continued to analyze, "So, you are completely useless this time. You can't even deceive people."
"It's useless."
Shen Yunzhe turned off the barrage of comments, completely ignoring the question marks and curses that flooded the host's screen.
But Shen Yunzhe was very happy. He was an expert at high-difficulty games, and every audience in the game field hated him. Last time, the game difficulty dropped to 10, which was unprecedented. This time, the game field could start from zero! This must be a good way to stimulate the audience to celebrate.
After being happy for a while, Shen Yunzhe suddenly realized something.
It seemed as if all the code-named isotopes showed disapproval and disgust towards the live broadcast audience. Even the rational code-named forensic doctor remained silent. Silence did not mean that he compromised, but that he was unwilling to argue with the audience.
Seeing that Shen Yunzhe was fine, the remaining players swiped their cards and came in, and each of them chose a Trojan horse of their own.
Shen Yunzhe watched Ji Yu passing by him, so he lightly pulled her.
Ji Yu looked back at him in confusion.
"Just because you can see the ghost doesn't necessarily mean it's a dead end. It could be a clue." Shen Yunzhe whispered, "Don't give up. Now that you saw how she died, start thinking about how to avoid her. If you can't avoid her, how can you escape?"
Ji Yu looked at Shen Yunzhe and spoke after a moment, "Are you crazy?"
"Why do you say that?" Shen Yunzhe tilted his head, appearing particularly sincere.
"Every game field needs a pathfinder to find out the rules of the game and the methods of death, but you want me to survive." Ji Yu looked at Shen Yunzhe, "You are so weird."
Shen Yunzhe lay on the carousel, his eyes clear and gentle, "It's not like I have to die to find out the rules of the game. I have to think of other ways."
Ji Yu smiled and said, "I understand."
After Ji Yu chose his own carousel, the carousel under his feet started. Because it was too old, the carousel made a terrible sound, which was sharp and terrifying, and the music also changed its tune, but the carousel at least started to turn slowly.
Shen Yunzhe felt the carousel spinning with curiosity, his eyes full of joy, as if he was really just here to have fun.
This seems even stranger to others.
Wang Shiyu frowned slightly. Rather than being a powerful veteran player, Shen Yunzhe was more like a newcomer who had just entered the game field and had never experienced horror. The innocence in his smile and eyes was totally out of place in the game field and completely wrong.
Why are some people having so much fun in the playground?!
He was just saying those useless words to Ji Yu. They couldn't even soothe people. What did he mean?!
Shen Yunzhe opened his arms and was completely immersed in the carousel. Of course, he also realized something.
It seems easy to immerse yourself in happiness, as if your personality has become more sunny and cheerful, as if... you have become an ordinary sunny child.
A sunny child who is different from the one his code name hopes to pretend to be.
Wow, he had never been such a simple cheerful kid before.
The carousel was singing a song with a changed tune and moving up and down. At this moment, Shen Yunzhe heard laughter. The laughter was very clear and it came from a girl. The laughter was really close to him.
Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look to the side, and saw a woman in a white dress sitting on the carousel next to him. Like him, the woman opened her arms to welcome the wind, and laughter continued to come from her. Shen Yunzhe looked at the other players and found that no one seemed to notice this woman.
So Shen Yunzhe continued to look at her.
The woman slowly turned her head, with horrific wounds on her pale face.
She grinned and hummed happily.
Shen Yunzhe noticed that she had a broken and bloody cell phone in her hand, and in the phone was a stamped electronic ticket.
