Chapter 65
Wang Shiyu didn't understand all this.
She never thought Shen Yunzhe would go to this extent.
She always felt that Shen Yunzhe had ulterior motives. Every player would be wary of fellow players because 95% of them were innocent people dragged into the game field by other players. After coming out of the novice game field, they understood that players would not have unwarranted kindness. Even if they cooperated temporarily, it was to leave the game field.
But Shen Yunzhe put this cursed hairpin on his head.
Wang Shiyu finally realized...Shen Yunzhe was just helping her, without any purpose or reason, simply because he was a kind person.
"You might die!" Wang Shiyu shouted.
Shen Yunzhe swung on the swing, his voice still so relaxed, "I won't die."
This sentence was said with absolute certainty. Shen Yunzhe didn't know why he was so sure. He felt that as long as he didn't want to die, he would not die.
This feeling is very abrupt, but also feels natural.
Shen Yunzhe's remaining rationality told him that this was not right, but at the same time, nothing seemed to be wrong...
The white hairpin swayed on Shen Yunzhe's head, but he didn't care, nor did he look like he was being controlled. However, Wang Shiyu's heart ached. She couldn't help but think: What if Shen Yunzhe died because of this? This was her fault.
If she hadn't been so scared, Shen Yunzhe wouldn't have done this.
As she thought about it, she remembered the surprise Easter egg live broadcast some time ago. Shen Yunzhe was the only player in it. Mr. S communicated with the official and finally rescued all the ordinary people trapped inside.
He obviously could have chosen not to do this, and could even have pretended not to see the live broadcast and barrage, but he still did it.
"It's okay, let's go." Shen Yunzhe calculated the time. He knew nothing about the code name locksmith, so he could only go with the flow and go wherever he went.
Shen Yunzhe then smiled, looking quite bright and kind. "Let's go to the next attraction."
Wang Shiyu didn't know why she nodded, even though she was very worried before.
Maybe it was because Shen Yunzhe's smile was so contagious, she couldn't help but follow Shen Yunzhe's words.
Fortunately, there was no problem afterwards. The hairpin was always pinned in Shen Yunzhe's hair, and Shen Yunzhe did not show anything wrong. Wang Shiyu almost thought that Shen Yunzhe was not wearing that hairpin.
There were quite a few rides in the playground that weren't obviously wrong, but not too many. They finished playing them all during the whole day. But what was more surprising was that they followed the plan but didn't see any other players. Wang Shiyu keenly realized that maybe they didn't miss any of them, but were avoided.
Those people gave up on Wang Shiyu and also gave up on Shen Yunzhe.
【Shen Yunzhe.】
Shen Yunzhe raised his head. He heard a familiar voice and the scene in front of him was reflected in his eyes.
[Stay awake.] The system reminded him, [This is a playground, not your home. Don't be fond of every place.]
What? He's taken over the playground?
Shen Yunzhe blinked, looked around, and then looked at Wang Shiyu next to him.
At this time, Wang Shiyu was cursing. She became angry after realizing that she was abandoned. She was sure that all the players matched in this game field were a bit selfish, otherwise they would not have abandoned their teammates at the beginning. Shen Yunzhe was the only exception.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Shen Yunzhe tried to comfort her, "We've been playing all day, and it's getting dark. Do you want to eat?"
"Don't be so kind. Don't treat everyone as a good person. They won't be so kind to you!" Wang Shiyu said earnestly, "How did you get through the first three playgrounds? If you're so kind, you'll be screwed by others. You have to be responsible for yourself."
Shen Yunzhe took a look, then turned and walked to the small room next to him. Wang Shiyu was choked and followed him with an awkward look on her face.
Shen Yunzhe is wearing a hairpin now. What if he is dragged away by a female ghost?
She pointed the electronic ticket at the ticket machine in front of her. With a click, a pale hand stretched out from the small window, holding a bottle of water and a bag of bread. Wang Shiyu looked at the water and food in surprise. She took two steps back to look at the sign of the small house.
——Leyang Canteen.
It turned out to be the meal that came with the ticket.
So the two of them squatted on a moss-free bench in the evening, drinking water and eating bread.
The sky gradually darkened. Shen Yunzhe chewed bread and looked up at the sky. There were no street lights on, and he realized that he would soon not be able to see the road clearly. Thinking of this, Shen Yunzhe took out his cell phone, turned on the flashlight and put it beside him. Wang Shiyu looked at his actions strangely.
"What are you doing?"
"It's too dark, but if you see the light you'll know where to go." Shen Yunzhe replied.
Wang Shiyu subconsciously judged that Shen Yunzhe was not talking about her... he was talking about someone else.
Those who are lost in the darkness can see this light and follow it.
"I used to think pitch-black places were interesting, but now I don't like them that much," Shen Yunzhe said. "I have a friend who is extremely afraid of the dark. He wishes the whole world were lit up at night. Then I started to hate the night, because it makes my friend so sad."
"Day and night are natural laws and cannot be changed."
"Yeah, so I can only turn on a light for him." Shen Yunzhe looked ahead, "As long as there's a light on, he won't be so scared."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a click and a light suddenly lit up not far away. Along with the light was a burst of music, which was particularly obvious in this dark night. They turned their heads to look over there, and the flashing neon lights were particularly dazzling.
"Is it a pirate ship?"
Shen Yunzhe nodded, "It seems so."
"The pirate ship will operate at night?" Wang Shiyu was surprised.
"Just go and take a look and you'll know."
They got up and walked towards the pirate ship, and when they were still a street away from the pirate ship they heard screams.
The pirate ship started and they rushed over quickly. As a result, they saw a person on the pirate ship shaking with the hull. She screamed and grabbed the railing tightly, but was still thrown out by the bumpy pirate ship, again and again, and was about to be thrown out.
"Che Qing!" Wang Shiyu still remembered her.
At this moment, someone came over from behind. They looked at the starting pirate ship breathlessly. They were other players.
"What's going on?!" Wang Shiyu questioned them.
Wen Hai looked at the pirate ship with a grim expression. After hearing the question, he subconsciously looked at Wang Shiyu and Shen Yunzhe. When he saw the hairpin on Shen Yunzhe's hair, his expression suddenly changed.
"It's a hairpin!"
All the players present took a step back.
Shen Yunzhe turned to look at him, "What's wrong with the hairpin?"
"You are still normal?!" Ji Yu looked at Shen Yunzhe in surprise.
It turned out that after they separated from them, they started to play the amusement projects according to the route. Soon they encountered the same thing as Shen Yunzhe. Che Qing's electronic ticket was swiped away by a ghost, and they had to wait for Che Qing to play again, but when Che Qing came down, they were horrified to find that there was a brooch on Che Qing's chest.
Che Qing, who had an extra brooch, was just like Wang Shiyu. She felt that everyone wanted to snatch her brooch.
Wang Shiyu became like this, and even Che Qing became like this. They finally determined that this kind of thing would continue to happen if they didn't find a way to stop it, so they held Che Qing down and prepared to take the brooch off.
"She put up a fierce resistance, and the three of us couldn't hold her down, so she ran away," Wen Hai said. "She disappeared without a trace. We split up and searched for her all afternoon, but couldn't find her. Then we saw the lights suddenly turn on here."
I didn't expect to see Che Qing on the pirate ship as soon as I arrived.
Crack, another crisp sound, they watched the guardrail on the pirate ship fall off, and Che Qing was thrown out screaming.
She frantically grabbed at the fallen guardrail, which was hanging on the hull and tightly stuck around her neck.
It was a teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking, accompanied by shrill laughter. At the other end of the pirate ship, a woman in a white dress was sitting there. She kept laughing, her skirt and hair fluttering in the wind. Under the neon lights, they saw a white brooch on her chest.
Whoosh, the pirate ship swayed to the other end again, and the broken railings and corpses fell down due to inertia.
Wang Shiyu subconsciously pushed Shen Yunzhe away, and Che Qing's body fell to the ground, with blood splattering on everyone's shoes.
Shen Yunzhe was almost pushed to the ground by Wang Shiyu, but because of this, no blood splashed on his body. He steadied his steps and walked forward, only to see that Che Qing's neck was broken. Because he fell face down, there was also a big gap on his head. It was obvious that there was no way to save him.
They stared at the corpse at their feet in silence, unable to utter a word.
"I also ran under the pirate ship before." Wang Shiyu's eyelids trembled. "Shen Yunzhe, if you hadn't held me back, I would have gone up there."
"I don't know." Shen Yunzhe replied: "You were standing there without moving, so I took the hairpin off for you."
As he spoke, Shen Yunzhe took off his coat and covered the dead Che Qing with it. After thinking for a while, he took off the hairpin on his head and placed it next to Che Qing.
"Shen Yunzhe?" Wen Hai looked at his actions strangely.
"This hairpin should be hers, right?" Shen Yunzhe pointed at the woman in the white dress still on the pirate ship. "I want to return it to its original owner."
Jing Lianzhong said without thinking, "This thing has fallen on your head. Can you return it if you want to? You will be hanged up when the time comes!"
"Jing Lianzhong!" Wen Hai shouted at him.
Jing Lianzhong's face turned grim, and he muttered softly, "I'm telling the truth."
Wen Hai sighed and looked at Shen Yunzhe. "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else. You've seen that some people have died because of this thing, and it's very random. I plan to split the two teams and try to find more solutions."
"What's the connection between your first and second sentences? You just think it's dangerous because we all wore hairpins." Wang Shiyu glared at him, "Wenhai, I thought you were a nice person."
"It's a matter of life and death," Wen Hai said, "everyone decides for themselves."
Shen Yunzhe frowned. "Dividing people into groups in this situation is extremely irrational. You just said that even three grown men can't hold down the person being controlled."
"He just wants to get rid of you, Shen Yunzhe!" Wang Shiyu interrupted Shen Yunzhe, "You want to help others, but now they think you are a nuisance!"
"We don't have to act with people like this!"
Shen Yunzhe looked at Wang Shiyu who was standing in front of him like a protective child, and suddenly one, two, three question marks appeared in his mind.
What I just said does not seem to be consistent with my personality, but was Wang Shiyu like this before?
Seeing that Shen Yunzhe was silent, he stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on Wang Shiyu and Wen Hai. He looked a little pitiful after he fell silent. It was unknown what words made him sad. Ji Yu sighed and walked to Shen Yunzhe's side. "I'll go this way."
Wen Hai was a little surprised, but when she thought about how Shen Yunzhe had helped her before, she understood.
I didn't expect that players entering the game field would have this kind of mentality. Well, if I die, I will be implicated by others.
Just as he was cursing in his heart, a man stood up quietly and walked over there. It was Zhang Xian.
"Zhang Xian?!"
Wen Hai was a little panicked now.
Zhang Xian has a special background. He has connections with the official, which means that he knows the game field better than ordinary players. He does not need to be too defensive and can even help other players block damage. After Wen Hai knew that he was an official, he decided to stick with him.
"I'm sorry, Shen Yunzhe did us a favor." Zhang Xian continued to speak politely, "Our leader told me to repay the favor."
Wen Hai's expression changed, and he quickly forced himself to laugh, "I was just joking, that's not what I meant. Let's act together, it's safer with more people."
"You big-headed ghost who lied to your father!" Wang Shiyu cursed and pulled Shen Yunzhe away.
Ji Yu and Zhang Xian followed behind and soon separated from Wen Hai and his group.
"I didn't expect you to follow me." Wang Shiyu looked at the two people behind her, "Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"
"Forget it, people like Wen Hai will only bring trouble to others." Ji Yu sneered, "I really don't know who he thinks he is. He issues orders as soon as he enters the game field. He really thinks he is an official. If he really has the ability, it would be fine. But in the end, he doesn't care about anything that happens to me, and he doesn't care about anything that happens to you either."
"He said so nicely about Che Qing, but in fact he never seriously looked for her."
"Right, Zhang Xian."
Zhang Xian nodded, his eyes always on Shen Yunzhe.
It was getting dark, and spending the night was the most important thing now. They quickly found a pavilion with a bench and decided to spend the night there. Zhang Xian and Ji Yu told them about their progress, and then learned from Wang Shiyu that the train tickets could be exchanged for food.
Seeing that they quickly started chatting together, Shen Yunzhe tilted his head.
It’s really harmonious, but can players really be so harmonious with each other?
Basic thinking ability has not been eroded, and logical thinking ability is still there. Shen Yunzhe's brain is bathed in kindness, but he can still find something wrong.
For example: the players become friendly; for example: they seem to be gathering around me; for example: why does this hairpin have no effect on me?
Playing amusement rides for a whole day is very tiring, especially since they are now on edge to deal with any scary things that may appear in the playground at any time. The exhausted players soon fell asleep in their chairs. Shen Yunzhe sat on one of the chairs, his eyes fixed on the dark night sky outside.
"Can I change my counterpart?" Shen Yunzhe asked.
【Can't. 】
"Why?" Shen Yunzhe murmured, "I feel something is wrong, it's very strange..."
[You need to adapt. Many of your peers possess special abilities, which are the most likely to cause damage in the game field. The previous synchronization was just to help you adapt. Now that you and your codename have reached a satisfactory synchronization rate, you can also withstand the mental pressure of other peers.]
Shen Yunzhe frowned slightly, "Then you have to tell me what this ability is."
[Codename: Locksmith, also known as Codename: Erosion.]
"Codename: Erosion?"
"What are you talking to yourself?" A voice interrupted Shen Yunzhe.
Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look to the side, only to see Zhang Xian sitting there looking at him. His eyes were open and he didn't look tired, and he didn't know how long he had been looking.
"Aren't you sleepy?"
"Is this your only idea?" Shen Yunzhe asked him.
"It's normal to feel stressed out in the game room. Go to sleep, and you'll feel better after a good night's sleep," said Zhang Xian.
Wow, so kind, Shen Yunzhe thought happily.
But this kindness was really strange. He still remembered that when he was talking to himself in other game venues, the audience and other players thought he was possessed by ghosts when they saw him, and even called him a little lunatic. But here, he was just comforted and told to sleep.
What kind of person is Codename Erosion?
