Chapter 68
【This is a level you must pass.】
[No matter how despicable, extreme, or weird your counterparts are, you must accept them and let them become your supporters.]
If you insist on asking why, I can only say: most of your peers died in the playground, and they have a natural hatred for the playground.
Shen Yunzhe was still a little dazed. He sat on the ground, not knowing how to deal with the current problem.
Wang Shiyu is dead, and Ji Yu is obviously not well. If this continues, this ability will erode other people. At that time, it may really be a bet on who is more evil, him or the game field.
"Shen Yunzhe? Are you okay?" Zhang Xian patted his shoulder. "Can you hear me?"
Shen Yunzhe turned to look at Zhang Xian. Zhang Xian's eyes were still clear, but he remembered that his reaction after he talked to himself last night was: I'll be fine after a good night's sleep.
Are you awake or not?
So Shen Yunzhe asked directly, "Don't you think it's strange?"
"Are you referring to Wang Shiyu? That's really strange. This is the first time I've encountered a player who would actively help someone else die. Is this just a side effect of this game? And Ji Yu doesn't seem quite right either."
"That's not it." Shen Yunzhe shook his head. "Didn't you find it strange when I was talking to myself just now?"
"ah?"
Shen Yunzhe stood up with the force of his outstretched hand, and then sat on the chair next to him. Ji Yu saw Shen Yunzhe stand up and followed him, but her eyes were still looking at Wang Shiyu reluctantly. She seemed to have lost her mind and did not interrupt such an ordinary conversation.
It looks like he lives apart from the crowd.
"Mumbling to myself..." Zhang Xian was a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a few seconds before speaking. "Excuse me, I'm from the official side, working for Yue Ding. I heard about you from Director Yue before I met you at the game field. I've also seen your official profile."
"Director Yue, he once said that your mental state was not stable and you often talked to yourself."
Shen Yunzhe: ...
It turned out that he was not influenced by others, but was mentally prepared after being told by others that he had some problems with his brain.
Haha, he would rather Zhang Xian was influenced now.
"But Director Yue also said that Mr. Shen is a quick thinker who can turn the tide in the game field!" Zhang Xian hurriedly defended his boss. "He also told us that if we meet you in the game field, we must follow you. This way, we have a high chance of survival!"
Zhang Xian was actually very excited when he first met Shen Yunzhe, although he didn't show it on his face.
Shen Yunzhe has been in the spotlight during this period. First, he was in the same game field with Yue Ding and was considered capable by Yue Ding. Later, he was involved in a strange event that invaded reality. He was also suspected of knowing a player who could directly harm strange objects. Everyone wanted to meet him, but unfortunately Shen Yunzhe was not an official person, so of course he could not be seen without a mission.
When he met Shen Yunzhe at the playground, he began to observe him, wanting to know what kind of person Shen Yunzhe was, but surprisingly... he was different from every Shen Yunzhe he knew.
From what Director Qiao learned, Shen Yunzhe is a relatively well-behaved person, very cooperative, speaks very politely, and has a good nature; but Director Yue said that he has a bit of an evil nature, and when he lets his personality go, he can become enemies with all players, and he can even scold strange creatures and live broadcast viewers until they cry. He is so arrogant that he doesn't know what the world is, but he has the capital to be arrogant.
Later, he also looked at Shen Yunzhe's information. He was born in an orphanage, had excellent grades, went to a good university and had a good job, but he just liked collecting dolls. There was an entire wall of cabinets in his house, and they were all filled with dolls.
He does look like a well-behaved person, but he also looks like an evil person.
But after meeting him, Zhang Xian unexpectedly discovered that this was a sunny and cheerful young man, but also a little confused who couldn't figure out his current situation.
He would comfort Ji Yu, play the rides happily, chase after Wang Shiyu to save her when she felt something was wrong, and even put the hairpin on his own head to save Wang Shiyu. He was too kind and gentle, and also too simple to be fatal. No matter which side of the information he was given, it didn't match up!
He felt mixed emotions, but when he saw Wen Hai was about to separate, he chose to follow Shen Yunzhe.
It wasn't until last night when he heard Shen Yunzhe talking to himself that he finally felt relieved.
Finally, there is one that matches the information.
So humble.
"Oh, by the way, when Ji Yu and I were looking for Wang Shiyu, we found something." Zhang Xian took out a piece of paper from his pocket. The paper was folded and stuffed into his pocket, and there were obvious creases on it.
Shen Yunzhe subconsciously looked at Ji Yu. Ji Yu looked at him with bright eyes, as if asking if she had helped.
"Thank you." Shen Yunzhe thanked him subconsciously.
Then she saw Ji Yu smiling with satisfaction, and his whole body was filled with happiness, but Wang Shiyu's body was not far away.
Zhang Xian frowned, rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, and handed the paper to Shen Yunzhe.
The piece of paper turned out to be a flyer.
"And this, a brochure." Zhang Xian took out another thing from his pocket, which turned out to be a pair of folded brochures.
Shen Yunzhe was just about to ask him what they were looking at after he gave it to him, when he saw Zhang Xian rummaging through his pockets, pulling out two flyers and brochures, and very naturally handed one to Ji Yu.
He couldn't help but stare at Zhang Xian's pockets, thinking that he had never realized his pockets could hold so much.
This curiosity obviously does not come from Shen Yunzhe himself, and it is probably codenamed erosion.
So Shen Yunzhe forced himself to shift his attention from Zhang Xian's pocket to the flyers and brochures in his hands.
The content on the flyer is very ordinary, just exaggerating the amusement park and talking about the projects in the amusement park, but what makes people pay attention is the section introducing the haunted house.
The real haunted house "Girl in White" is now exposed!
A girl who died at the amusement park has reappeared in the haunted house, bringing a sense of relief. What injustice did she suffer? Come and discover!
"The girl in white is easily reminiscent of the white-clad female ghost that appeared before us before. And the fact that she died in an amusement park makes it hard not to speculate." Zhang Xian's analysis was quite serious and official. "We still haven't been able to identify the medium. Perhaps this thing can provide us with a clue."
Shen Yunzhe nodded, "So we're going to a haunted house? I've never been to a haunted house before."
"Is it fun in there? Is it scary?"
Zhang Xian looked at him with complicated eyes, "What haunted house is scarier than an amusement park?"
Shen Yunzhe suddenly realized, "You are right."
Why is he so silly? Is he really that powerful?
"And this brochure." Zhang Xian flipped it open. "This brochure was probably written by someone outside the amusement park, not someone from within. It could also be a marketing ploy for the amusement park. I'm not sure yet, but the content is very interesting. You can take a look."
Shen Yunzhe opened the brochure and the next moment he saw the recommended attractions, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
This seems like a travel guide.
Le Yang Amusement Park, Recommendation Index: ★★★★☆
Leyang Amusement Park is the largest amusement park in Qingcheng City. It has relatively complete amusement projects and is the best place for couples and children. However, amusement parks can be found everywhere, so why does the editor recommend Leyang Amusement Park alone?
A year ago, a game accident occurred at Le Yang Amusement Park. The fence of the pirate ship fell off, causing a woman to fall from the pirate ship and die.
Le Yang Amusement Park shut down the pirate ship project for a major overhaul and paid a huge compensation. However, on the same day a year later, a woman in white who looked very similar to the deceased a year ago appeared in Le Yang Amusement Park. At the same time, all kinds of strange things happened in the amusement park.
Someone discovered that the theme of the amusement park's haunted house had changed from the original bride in red to a woman in white, but the amusement park was unaware of it. Later, a tourist found a white hairpin under the pirate ship, and another tourist said that while he was playing, he saw the deceased sitting next to him and playing with him.
So, this is a supernatural adventure!
Shen Yunzhe opened the brochure and looked at the next page, where he saw the ghost spots and the check-in page. It was completely made in a commercial way.
"In my opinion, it's just a scheme to attract tourists, and it's not very clever at all," Zhang Xian said. "It's probably because there were no tourists at the amusement park after the accident a year ago, so they took a risk and used this incident as a gimmick."
“I don’t know if it attracted tourists, but this is what it has become.”
Zhang Xian frowned. "This is the same tactic used in most gaming venues, turning a supernatural legend into reality."
"You know quite a lot."
"I've come across quite a lot of information," Zhang Xian said modestly. "Game fields have patterns. These patterns can even be considered stereotyped. There are certain similarities, but the manifestations are different. We've been studying these similarities, hoping to find the weaknesses of the game fields."
"This thing is expanding faster and faster, attracting more and more players, and the probability of it appearing in the real world is also increasing."
Shen Yunzhe looked at Zhang Xian. Ji Yu next to him said nothing, as if he was reading the brochure carefully.
Only Shen Yunzhe thought of something.
"Since you are official, I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Xian asked.
Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment. "95% of the players were innocently dragged into the game through surprise Easter eggs, but the remaining 5%... could it be that they are the survivors of the strange events that invaded the real world?"
Zhang Xian's face turned pale.
“You, you…”
How did you know?!
"I made a guess. After all, think about it, if you can be pulled in even to see the Easter eggs, it's unrealistic to stay outside after actually experiencing it." Shen Yunzhe said.
Zhang Xian silently covered the lower half of his face. He finally understood why Director Yue said that his mind had become sharper.
That's not what he said, he didn't tell anyone the confidential information at all.
Zhang Xian's silence meant acquiescence, so Shen Yunzhe lowered his head and continued to read the brochure. He was mainly looking at the check-in locations. If this game field really became strange because of this brochure, no matter who the active party was, the check-in points marked in this brochure must be very dangerous.
[Carousel/Pirate Ship: It is said that scattered white hairpins will occasionally appear under this place, exactly the same as those of the deceased.]
[Ferris wheel: Someone saw a girl riding a Ferris wheel and spinning around and around, and there were people sitting with the girl.]
[5D Happy Cinema: Don't look back, or you'll see the girl sitting at the back. Note: The amusement park director appears randomly, so run away if you see him. He's a mean and annoying old man.]
[Haunted House: The wedding room turns into a morgue in seconds, and it is said that the corpse looks like the deceased no matter how you look at it.]
[Roller Coaster: Someone opened their eyes while riding and saw a girl falling. They screamed and got off the ride, but they found that no one was missing.]
[Brooch: Randomly dropped, someone has picked it up.]
"How disrespectful." Zhang Xian complained as he watched. "If this is fake, they're completely exploiting the innocent girl who died here. They're making money off her and forcing a fabrication to promote her."
"If a ghost really appears because of this, it's quite what they deserve."
"But even so, we can't deduce the media." Zhang Xian frowned. "The media can't be this kind of marketing. Maybe it's a form, but the media is tangible."
Shen Yunzhe was silent for a while, then he said, "People can be touched, right?"
Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment. He looked at Shen Yunzhe, "What did you say?"
"You can touch a person, and you can touch a corpse." Shen Yunzhe said, "Do you think the medium could be the body of the dead girl?"
"There's no precedent." Zhang Xian shook his head. "So far, there haven't been any human corpses used as a medium. Newbies use mobile phones, followed by some relatively common dolls or sharp weapons, and then the corpses of small creatures like cats. I've never seen a human corpse before."
"If cat corpses are allowed, why not human corpses?"
Shen Yunzhe murmured as he looked at Wang Shiyu's body in front of him, the blood reflected in his eyes.
Zhang Xian looked at Shen Yunzhe in a daze. There was no panic in Shen Yunzhe's eyes at this moment. He was very quiet, and his eyes were very calm, as if this guess was just a guess. But such a quiet Shen Yunzhe seemed out of place at this time.
People who are too quiet will stand out in the playground.
"I believe Shen Yunzhe." Ji Yu, who had always been insignificant, suddenly spoke up. "I think Shen Yunzhe is right. Why can't there be human corpses?"
"That's not what I meant. The rules of the game field are generally centered around the medium. We don't have clear rules around the evidence of the corpse right now."
Shen Yunzhe looked at Zhang Xian, "That's what the media wants."
"Yes, yes..." Zhang Xian nodded. "If we achieve what the media wants and complete it, we can leave this playground. But if the media gets what they want, then the playground will connect to reality, which is another problem."
"We haven't finished all the rides here yet, but two people have died. We still don't know what the medium is or what the rules are."
Zhang Xian thought for a moment, "The information about the gaming venues I've been to before wasn't this vague."
"Is it possible that the previous medium of the playground was this booklet?" Shen Yunzhe asked.
"ah?"
"When we first entered the amusement park, the audience said it was a low-level playground, but now it has been upgraded," said Shen Yunzhe.
"Huh?!" Zhang Xian hurriedly turned on the live broadcast and began to try to find a clue. Unfortunately, the live broadcast audience was noisy and completely ignored Zhang Xian. Then Zhang Xian watched a scene that gave him goosebumps. The audience on the barrage were discussing whether they were kind?!
Zhang Xian felt his fingers were numb.
The problem with the media is unclear, so they can only continue to complete the task and finish all the amusement projects first. If they really follow the routine, they will definitely not be able to succeed in some projects, as they have to complete certain things before they can enter.
While walking, Shen Yunzhe was thinking about another problem.
Codenamed Erosion gained a large number of supporters because of this ability, and he also destroyed several game fields. Let’s not talk about how he did it, the key point is how did he die with such powerful power?
He still remembered that the system said that all his counterparts were dead except for codename Hope.
Shen Yunzhe thought about committing suicide, but denied it. Codename Erosion is different from normal people. He cannot live a normal life among the crowd because he treats everyone equally, and this equality includes himself. He is neither selfish nor saintly, and can fully accept others dying for him.
As such, he would never commit suicide. He took it for granted that it was right for others to die for him.
Although Codename Erosion possesses a kind and impartial mindset, it doesn't mean he's brainless and can't think.
He also has questions and wants to know the answers.
Shen Yunzhe blinked, "He has questions?"
"What's the question?"
Zhang Xian glanced at Shen Yunzhe. He was not surprised by his mumbling and even felt close to him.
The only feature that is the same as the information!
He often wondered why the people around him seemed happy, but he always felt that they were not.
Are they really happy like this?
