Chapter 66
Finally fell asleep.
However, because he was worried about the code erosion, he subconsciously came to the place where he thought he could solve the problem.
This is where the code-named Hope is located.
They haven't seen each other since Codename Hope left. Surprisingly, Shen Yunzhe was not affected by Codename Hope. The system said that this was because Codename Hope was dragged over, and it was not Shen Yunzhe himself who had to bear the spirit of Codename Hope, but only Codename Hope could do this.
It was still a familiar wording, because Codename Hope was Shen Yunzhe's only living counterpart.
At this time, Codename Hope was sitting in this dark little box. He closed his eyes and looked like he had fallen asleep. When Shen Yunzhe walked over, he opened his eyes. The moment he saw Shen Yunzhe, a little joy welled up in Codename Hope's eyes.
It seemed that the three days of acting in sync with Shen Yunzhe had completely exposed his true nature, and he no longer spoke those disguised and cheesy words.
When he saw Shen Yunzhe coming over, he immediately hugged him.
Shen Yunzhe raised his hands in a daze. Codename hoped to hug him and stay still, nestling in his arms.
"It's warm and has flavor." Codename Hope murmured and rubbed it.
Shen Yunzhe tilted his head, thought for a moment, then reached out and patted his back lightly, to comfort him.
"It's been so long since I last saw you. I always feel like these three days were just a dream. But even dreams aren't allowed in this place. I can't possibly dream of a happy world filled with dazzling lights." Codename Hope said, her hand constantly reaching upwards. "Will I ever be able to have a dream like this again?"
Shen Yunzhe held his hand down, "Your hand, can't go any higher."
Codename Hope was not happy. He held Shen Yunzhe's hand instead, looking a little awkward.
It is not synchronized with the code name now, but based on Shen Yunzhe's understanding of him, he can easily judge what he means.
Codename Hope feels that the world is unreal and that what he has experienced is a dream, so he is subconsciously looking for something that can prove that it is reality. Shen Yunzhe happens to be here, and Shen Yunzhe happens to be the best proof, so he wants to spend more time with Shen Yunzhe to calm him down.
He didn't like it because of the layer of clothes between them.
Does he know that he looks like a gangster?
Shen Yunzhe put his hand down. He found that he seemed to be quite normal in the dream? At least his thinking ability was back.
"If you're affected by your counterparts even in your dreams, then you won't be able to have a peaceful dream." Codename Hope stared at him, her long silver hair draped over Shen Yunzhe. "If you have a less than elegant dream, wouldn't your counterparts besides you also see it?"
"...Okay, I know I'm normal in my dreams."
Shen Yunzhe did not let go. His beloved beautiful doll was right in front of him, so he should hug her more.
Of course he still remembered why he came here subconsciously.
"Do you know what codename Erosion is?"
"I don't know." Codename Hope answered quickly, "We are the same person in the parallel world, but I don't have the ability of parallel worlds, and I only know you. Codename Erosion is someone in another parallel world that I have never come into contact with and will never come into contact with."
It turns out that I don’t even know the code name, so do I still have to ask the system?
But Shen Yunzhe will be affected after returning from the dream, and the system doesn't seem to be able to tell him.
"But I noticed something." Codename Hope said.
Shen Yunzhe looked at him doubtfully, "Have you noticed anything?"
"How did you notice it?"
"I placed a little spiritual core in you, so I can sense when you're in danger." Codename Hope didn't hide anything. He nestled in Shen Yunzhe's arms, feeling at ease. "I sensed something was wrong after you synchronized."
Shen Yunzhe looked at him and wondered if this person really just released some spiritual core?
He still remembered that the system said that codenamed Hope was his strongest isotope. His mental power was very strong and he could actually seize Shen Yunzhe's consciousness. He was completely different from the guy who was sticking to him now.
Now it's just a matter of "monitoring".
"Is it troublesome?"
"It's very troublesome." Codename Hope pointed at the darkness around him, a pitch-black world where nothing could be seen except the two of them. "The power of erosion is the same as theirs."
Shen Yunzhe was really surprised this time, "Playground?!"
"Negative emotions give birth to monsters. You can think of the spread of the playground as the spread of extreme emotions losing control." Codename Hope narrowed his eyes slightly. "That Corrosion possesses a power of the same nature. He can unconsciously spread kindness, and even use this shared kindness to counter the playground."
Shen Yunzhe thought about this scene and asked, "Do you mean to persuade?"
"It might be even scarier than persuasion." Codename Hope smiled, looking quite interested. "The person being influenced might not even notice the change, unconsciously becoming the same. Everyone present will lose their emotions and become just amiable."
"It's like the spectators in a playground who only radiate unwarranted malice."
Two different directions, but equally terrible infections.
That’s why it’s called: Codename Erosion.
But he should be a kind person.
Shen Yunzhe thought back to what he did on his first day in the game field. The influence of Code Erosion was truly terrifying. Apart from his basic thinking ability, he was completely led astray. Many of his actions were contrary to his own personality, but he knew that was what Code Erosion wanted to do.
He comforted Ji Yu, saved Wang Shiyu despite the danger, and did not hold a grudge against Wen Hai for his deliberate exclusion.
He is indeed a very nice person, although this kind of equal kindness sounds particularly troublesome.
"It's okay, I'm here." Codename Hope reached out and pinched his cheek. "No one can influence others more than me."
Shen Yunzhe is stuck.
Yes, he still remembered the chain reaction after the first synchronization with Code Hope, the tyrannical interest and terrifying catharsis, the impulse to destroy everything and himself, even the sadness was a joy that made him happy. Code Erosion was far less dangerous than Code Hope.
…
When Shen Yunzhe opened his eyes, he found that it was still dark, but a little light could be seen from the horizon. In the dim light, he could see a person busy at work.
He stood up and walked over, only to find that it was Wang Shiyu who put down the bread and water, which were the meals provided in the canteen.
"You're awake." Wang Shiyu smiled, looking very gentle. "I brought everyone's food here. You can eat it when you wake up."
Not every place in the amusement park has a canteen that provides meals. There are only two small canteens on both sides of the playground, which are nearly twenty minutes away from their current location. Wang Shiyu got up early and went to the canteen in advance, and did not forget to bring theirs with her.
She smiled softly and looked content.
"It's far, thank you." Shen Yunzhe said seriously: "Next time you can wake me up and I will go with you. It's dangerous to go alone."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just getting some food." Wang Shiyu shook her head. "Besides, you saved me before and even put on that hairpin. I'm just getting some food. It's not dangerous at all."
So Shen Yunzhe smiled and looked very happy.
Seeing Shen Yunzhe relax and smile, Wang Shiyu felt even happier.
She didn't know why she woke up early in the morning. Everyone was asleep at that time. She sat on the bench and looked at Shen Yunzhe who was quietly closing his eyes. She suddenly thought about whether she could bring breakfast for everyone. It was only after she went there that she realized it.
She was also a little hesitant, but after seeing Shen Yunzhe's smiling face, she felt that it was all worth it.
It’s great that he smiled. A good person should smile like this. Such a good person should not be sad.
Shen Yunzhe and Wang Shiyu were talking quietly, but the players were now on edge and woke up when they heard the noise. Wang Shiyu quickly called them over to eat something, and after eating they could go play other rides. They would definitely be able to leave this playground!
Looking at Wang Shiyu's smiling face, Shen Yunzhe's eyes darkened slightly.
"Wang Shiyu." Shen Yunzhe called her name.
In fact, Shen Yunzhe didn’t know what he was doing or what he felt in his heart. He just wanted to ask a question urgently.
Wang Shiyu turned her head and looked at him in confusion.
Shen Yunzhe asked her, "Are you happy now?"
Wang Shiyu blinked, then smiled heartily, a smile so genuine and bright. She said, "I'm very happy. There has never been a happier moment than now."
She was so happy, so content, and loved this place so much.
Why hadn't she thought of this before? It turned out that helping others would bring her this wonderful feeling. Everyone loved each other, they were close and intimate. This was the most perfect relationship. From now on, she should do more good deeds. And Shen Yunzhe, such a good person, must not be hurt.
That’s great, she’s very happy.
Shen Yunzhe looked at Wang Shiyu and smiled. He hummed a song and looked very comfortable.
But as he hummed, his voice stopped. He looked at Wang Shiyu who was chatting with Ji Yu and thought: Is she really happy?
Why should he care whether other people are happy or not?
He is not codenamed Erosion, he is Shen Yunzhe. He was born in an orphanage and because he couldn't get what he wanted, he eventually developed a collecting habit. He is a person who wants to have stable social relationships but has high requirements for social partners. He got a very satisfactory social partner and doll.
That person's name is codename Hope.
He is not Codename Erosion, Codename Erosion treats everyone equally, but Shen Yunzhe is partial, he is partial!
Shen Yunzhe's pupils suddenly dilated, his expression changed abruptly, the spring-like smile on his face disappeared, the broken emotions were withdrawn from his face, and he briefly regained consciousness.
He frowned slowly and pressed his temples because his head began to ache sharply.
[Excellent! You were able to regain your sanity despite the effects of the code erosion.]
【Now you can be free from the emotional influence of code corruption. 】
Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked up at the sky. He couldn't see anything. Of course he couldn't see anything. That was what the system said.
You're right. If you continue to be oblivious to the effects of Code Corrosion, I will change the Code Corrosion's counterpart and delay its synchronization until the end. Your growth rate will be very fast, especially after you synchronize with Code Hope.
[Although I don't understand how one of you treats the other as a source of emotion, while the other treats the other as a child.]
[Since it works so well, I will consider extending the synchronization time you and Codename wish.]
If the system had a physical body, Shen Yunzhe would definitely kick it twice.
This guy did it on purpose.
You've only regained your sanity, not been unaffected. Furthermore, the Codename's erosion abilities remain steadily active. The system sensed Shen Yunzhe's murderous intent, but it remained unfazed. After all, it lacked a physical form, so Shen Yunzhe couldn't hit it. This is also intended to familiarize you with the true nature of the game field as quickly as possible. Your game will become increasingly entrenched in its origins, so be prepared.
Shen Yunzhe sat there sulking and began to sulk.
As Shen Yunzhe was sulking, he suddenly realized that he was not the type to sulk. Usually, when he was wronged, he would just curse back. But it was not him who was sulking, but Codename Erosion.
Even more angry.
"Shen Yunzhe, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly."
Shen Yunzhe turned his head and looked to the side. It was Wang Shiyu standing next to him with worry in her eyes.
She was worried about Shen Yunzhe, but she was also worried that others would give her a sense of happiness, so as she worried, she began to smile contentedly.
Shen Yunzhe felt the hairs on his back stand up when he could feel the changes in the players around him so clearly.
But what use is this ability? Besides turning the players around you into good people, it can't turn the female ghost into a good person too, right?
Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look at the Ferris wheel not far away, only to find that the Ferris wheel was turning, and a woman in a white dress was standing on the top of the Ferris wheel. The woman was standing too high and too far away, and at first glance she looked like a small white ant, but Shen Yunzhe knew: the woman in the white dress was looking at him.
……Um?
No way!
Can a female ghost really be turned into a good person?!
Is this really logical?! How did he die when the codename erosion was so severe?
It was so weird. Shen Yunzhe always felt that he was not in the game field, but somewhere else. In order to regain the feeling of the game field, Shen Yunzhe turned on the live broadcast. He still remembered that the audience in the live broadcast were a group of lunatics who had no brains and no normal thinking ability, and their minds were controlled by extreme emotions.
After turning on the live broadcast, Shen Yunzhe saw something even more surprising.
[Don't you think this person named Shen Yunzhe is very good? ]
[It doesn't matter if he's a nice person, he won't save us.]
[But we haven't seen such a good player in a long time. He actually risked his life to help other players. I don't know why I always feel sad. How did he maintain his composure and come here?]
[Feeling bad? Don't be silly. Even if some of us haven't harmed anyone, we've all watched other players die, cheered and even coaxed them into death, and we've actually thought we were good people. Even if you wanted to be a good person now, you have no chance, you bastard!]
"Is it not possible? Why not? I don't want to stay here any longer!"
Shen Yunzhe's pupils trembled. What? The live broadcast audience was fighting among themselves?!
"Where are we going next?" Ji Yu walked over and asked.
Ji Yu's eyes were not clear either. Her mind and eyes were full of him, as if she could rush up to him with just one word from Shen Yunzhe.
This is really a bit scary.
Slowly turning off the live broadcast on his mobile phone, Shen Yunzhe looked up at them. At this time, Zhang Xian finished eating the bread and walked over. His eyes were still clear, and he saw occasional doubts in the eyes of Wang Shiyu and Ji Yu. He subconsciously realized that something was wrong with these two people.
This means that Zhang Xian has not been affected for the time being, but Wang Shiyu and Ji Yu have been completely eroded.
The only difference between them is that Zhang Xian has never been directly helped by Shen Yunzhe.
Good god, he even has to control his hands when helping others?!
"Let's go..." Shen Yunzhe raised his hand, but the next moment a cold and pale hand grabbed his wrist. Shen Yunzhe was stunned for a moment. He slowly turned his head and saw the female ghost in a white dress.
The female ghost smiled at him with a big bloody hole on her head.
"Let's play games together."
"I lost my ticket. Can you lend me yours?"
"This is a full-game ticket. We can use it twice to play together."
"Come on, come on..."
When Shen Yunzhe came to his senses, he found himself sitting on a chair. He looked up and saw a giant screen. The screen was curved and the lights were on. It looked like a movie theater. Shen Yunzhe searched for the route in his mind and finally determined that this should be a 5D theater.
Shen Yunzhe felt himself being fastened with a seat belt. He turned his head and looked to the side. A woman in a white dress was sitting next to him, staring at the screen with her eyes wide open.
"We still have to wait for people." The woman in the white dress murmured, "We have to wait until everyone is here before we can start broadcasting."
"Soon, someone will come."
