Chapter 85
Master Fu is Huang Yihua's official code name. Huang Yihua was immediately interrupted from all thoughts by this title.
Because she couldn't understand why this mysterious player knew who she was and could even call out her official code name.
This is not Shen Yunzhe's problem, because Shen Yunzhe obviously doesn't know her identity. He only knows that she is an official member. If Shen Yunxi was born based on Shen Yunzhe's consciousness, she shouldn't know things that Shen Yunzhe doesn't know. Huang Yihua was suspicious and full of questions about Shen Yunxi's origins.
Li Yiluan looked at this and that, and finally fixed his sight on code name Hope.
Because he realized something, or rather, he had discovered it before, but he didn't think it was a big deal. It was not until Codename Hope suddenly appeared alive in front of them that he had this doubt in his mind, that is, Codename Hope was a living person in his eyes.
Yes, Shen Yunxi is a living person with a destiny and a future.
"Talisman Master?" Shen Yunzhe looked at him. "Are you talking about Huang Yihua?"
"Talisman Master is the official title. She's a treasured member of the government because her abilities are contained in her talismans, which she can bestow upon others. Unlike me, I can only see them in person." Codename Hope sat on the ground, twirling her hair, her eyes fixed on Huang Yihua. "As long as she lives, perhaps someone can use her talismans to gain a chance to survive."
Therefore, the existence of talisman masters is extremely important.
Huang Yihua frowned. "You know me well? And you know the authorities well?"
But Codename Xiwang usually played dumb. He no longer answered and ignored Huang Yihua. He saw Shen Yunzhe put a box of cigarettes into his pocket, so he stood up and pounced on it like a cat, determined to get the box of cigarettes. Shen Yunzhe stuffed the cigarettes into his pocket to prevent him from catching it.
Because he knew very well that if he was caught by Codename Hope, he would immediately light up all the cigarettes for fun. Lighting a box of cigarettes in one breath in such an airtight environment would choke to death.
"Shen Yunzhe, let me see."
"Just give it to me and I'll forgive you."
"Shen Yunzhe."
Shen Yunzhe was annoyed and said, "Your throat is still swollen and your injuries haven't healed yet. You can't smoke. Follow the doctor's advice!"
Upon hearing this, Codename Hope stopped. He blinked and finally looked at Shen Yunzhe with an innocent and confused look.
"But Shen Yunzhe, this injury was caused by you."
"How can you be like this? You are the perpetrator and you want to be the victim's doctor."
"Do I have to follow your orders?"
The amount of information was so overwhelming that Huang Yihua shut up and didn't even want to ask the question he had just asked. Li Yulun silently spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know it would be like this.
Shen Yunzhe doesn't look like a violent person at all, let alone someone who looks like him.
In the end, his cigarettes were snatched away. Shen Yunzhe watched him squatting at the car door and lighting up a whole box of cigarettes. Codename Hope stared at the burning cigarette butt, and then threw the burning cigarette out, like an unruly child without anyone to discipline him. The people present silently endured the smell of cigarettes, and no one dared to say a word.
"If it was a normal subway, we would have called the police and put him in jail." Shen Yunzhe clicked his tongue.
Li Yiluan watched him stretch out his hand to pinch the cigarette butt, and felt his fingers begin to hurt. So he silently withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Yunzhe, "What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know, it appeared very suddenly." Shen Yunzhe sighed.
Huang Yihua smiled, "But he seems to be very familiar with the official?"
"Then what?" Shen Yunzhe asked her.
"Your brother is so familiar with the government, he's obviously an official. Would you like to join us? We will provide the best resources. If you need them, we have them." Huang Yihua recruited him naturally. "Non-staff personnel are also fine. We are not picky."
Li Yiluan silently changed the subject, "The most important thing now is how to get off this train, right?"
Just as he finished speaking, they heard a click, and the train that had been parked at the station for a long time suddenly started moving. Subways are generally stable, and even the lit cigarette butts did not shake. Li Yuluan looked out the window, and it was pitch black everywhere, and he could not see clearly where he was.
"Next stop: Train Square." The mechanical voice continued to prompt.
"The train circles around this place and stops right here," Li Yiluan said. "This is quite different from Shen Yunzhe's residential complex. That complex is isolated, but it still exists. I feel like our train and this station are not in our real world."
Huang Yihua nodded. "Compared to reality, it's more like the space in a playground."
"Then think about how to destroy the medium?"
"But the medium is this train. We can't blow it up even if we want to."
"Even if the main body is a medium's playground, it still has a core." A voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
The three people turned around, only to see Codename Hope sticking his head out, staring at them with bright eyes. His silver eyes looked a little strange, but at this moment, it was as if light resided in them. It was just the messy marks on his neck that made him look particularly... Forget it, he couldn't say this.
Shen Yunzhe reached out and pulled him up, then zipped his pants up to the top to cover the red and purple marks on his neck.
After he finished, he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Literally." Codename Hope lay on Shen Yunzhe's lap, "I don't have the ability to destroy an entire game field, right?"
Shen Yunzhe realized that the code name was referring to the previous playground, the Le Yang Amusement Park whose main body was the medium.
"What does core mean?"
"The operating mechanism of a playground." Codenamed Xiwang held his chin with one hand, and his long silver hair hung on Shen Yunzhe. Shen Yunzhe frowned and pulled him up, then reached out to tidy his hair, but he didn't have a hair tie in his hand. At this moment, a hair tie was thrown over. Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look at the back of the car. Those ordinary people who were protected looked up at the sky and down at the earth, but not at him.
Shen Yunzhe picked up the hair tie and tied up Codename Hope's hair.
Codename Hope always looks gentle when his hair is loose, but when he ties his hair up, you can feel that he has a sharp edge.
Of course, normal people wouldn't care about this. Li Yilun and Huang Yihua had only one thought in their heads:
Shen Yunzhe was full of disgust, but he still helped him tidy up his clothes and tie his hair.
Is this really disgust?
"The core of the amusement park is the ticket." Codename Hope continued, "Its core is where the tickets are sold. If you take out the ticket booth, you can destroy the entire amusement park. The same is true for the subway, but the core of the subway isn't the ticket; it's probably something else."
Huang Yihua thought for a moment, "The driver's cab? The train needs to run."
"Carriage?" Li Yiluan said, "Trains need to accommodate people, so they need carriages."
Shen Yunzhe finally spoke, "It's a site."
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded, overlapping with Shen Yunzhe's voice, "Train has arrived: Train Square."
The train stopped and the three of them looked at each other. They stood up and looked out the window. It was an empty station. The doors of every carriage were open and a gust of wind blew in from the doors. Above the dark station was a line of blood-red words: Train Square.
When they looked carefully, they found that there was a person standing behind the station sign in the train square. The person seemed to be wearing a station staff uniform and was sitting behind a table.
There was a sign on the table that read: Lost and Found.
"The train always stops at this station, so this station is the core of the playground." Huang Yihua looked ahead, "But we can't get off the train. If we do, we'll die. So we can't get close to it. What should we do?"
"Do you need my help?" Codename Hope lay on Shen Yunzhe from behind and hugged his neck. "I can get over there."
Huang Yihua and Li Yulun turned to look at Code Name Hope, only to see that Code Name Hope's eyes were shining and he seemed very happy to help.
So they turned to look at Shen Yunzhe.
Shen Yunzhe didn't pay any attention to their gestures and simply asked, "Hope, are you sure that as long as we destroy this site, we can leave here?"
"Yeah." Codename hoped to rub against him, "As long as we destroy the site, you can get off."
"Then what?" Shen Yunzhe didn't trust what he said at all. "What are we going to do after we get off the bus?"
"After getting off the bus..." Codename Hope replied with a smile, "And then there's nothing else. We just have to wait together at the station."
"What's the meaning?"
Codename Hope whispered, "What it means is: try your luck. If you're lucky, you can leave here. If you're unlucky, you'll need to wait here until someone finds you. Only then can you leave."
Huang Yihua looked at him suddenly and said, "Tell me about this matter in more detail!"
"Special playgrounds are different from ordinary playgrounds. The strange erosion they cause is also different. Ordinary strange erosion only erodes one place, but special playgrounds are different. They usually open up a new space. Even if the medium is destroyed, it will not be destroyed normally. It will always exist somewhere."
"Then how can we leave?"
"Wait until the people outside discover the intersection." Codename Hope answered seriously. "Once they discover this point, and simultaneously destroy the medium inside, it's like breaking the balance between inside and outside. Only then can we return to reality."
Huang Yihua looked at Codename Hope seriously and said, "I won't ask you why you know this. On behalf of the official, I thank you."
After that, she began to figure out how to get to the site ahead.
Li Yilun was a little puzzled. He looked at Shen Yunzhe, "What's wrong with her?"
"Because she realized that if that was true, then there might not be survivors from that strange erosion incident twenty years ago." Shen Yunzhe said, "They were simply trapped inside and unable to get out."
"As long as we have a direction, maybe we can really save the person."
Li Yiluan nodded, "So that's how it is. Then I'll work with her to figure out how to get to the other side."
With that, Li Yiluan left to find Huang Yihua, leaving this place to Shen Yunzhe and codenamed Hope.
Codename Hope liked to join in the fun, so when he saw that they had all left, he got off Shen Yunzhe and wanted to run over to see, but was pulled back by Shen Yunzhe from behind by his hair.
Codename Hope covered her hair and looked at Shen Yunzhe aggrievedly, "Don't pull my hair."
"Shen Yunzhe, you're like the bad kid in elementary school who pulled girls' pigtails."
Shen Yunzhe sneered, "What? Are you a little girl who was bullied?"
"If you like, I can do it too." Codename Hope said something shocking.
Shen Yunzhe silently took out another pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one and put it in his mouth. Anyway, the car door was open now, and the smell would dissipate in a while. Codename Hope saw him light up the cigarette and came up to grab it. This time Shen Yunzhe let him take a puff, and then saw Codename Hope squat down and cough because of being choked.
This guy doesn't even know how to smoke.
In fact, Shen Yunzhe doesn't do it either. The one who likes to smoke should be the code-named Calligrapher.
Learn to smoke painlessly, you deserve it.
"Hope." Shen Yunzhe lit a cigarette and asked him, "What's your name?"
Codename Hope looked up at him with tears in her eyes, a little confused, looking particularly innocent.
"At first I thought since it was me, you should have the same name as me, but then you kept calling me by my name, and I thought no one would call their own name so intimately, so your name shouldn't be Shen Yunzhe."
"What's your name in your world?"
Codename Xiwang stood up and leaned against Shen Yunzhe like a coquettish cat.
"I like the name you gave me."
Shen Yunzhe raised his hand to prevent the falling cigarette ash from burning him, and let him lean on it. He looked at the station sign not far away and saw the red words "Train Square" flashing.
"I like you to call me Hope." Code name Hope spoke again.
Shen Yunzhe is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. The rules in the orphanage are always more numerous than those outside. Shen Yunzhe is both good in character and in study. After all, he is a peaceful child who grew up in modern society. His life is not as good as most people, but he is not unable to survive. However, code-named Hope has lived in poverty since childhood.
His parents died in a car accident when he was young, and the compensation money was seized by his uncle. He has been living under the care of others since he was a child, and his life is worse than that of an orphan.
His name is Chenqi, which means abandonment and forsaken.
When he grew up, the playground eroded reality more and more seriously. He joined the official, and Shen Qi became Shen Qi. The people in the official called him Xiao Qi, which seemed to be a name change for him.
But Codename Hope doesn't like Shen Qi or Shen Qi.
He liked Shen Yunzhe calling him Hope and liked Shen Yunzhe naming him Shen Yunxi.
It’s like: he has also become a person with a future and will not be abandoned.
How nice it is that he can also have a name that carries hope.
On the other side, the conversation between Huang Yihua and Li Yulun gradually became quieter. They were actually paying attention to Shen Yunzhe and codename Xiwang at the car door not far away. They saw Shen Yunzhe holding a lit cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke drifted out through the car door, while codename Xiwang leaned on him, like a pet lacking love.
They were so close to each other, like a couple in love.
Li Yiluan's teeth ached from his own associations. He hissed, "What's wrong with them?"
"At least Shen Yunzhe didn't lie about one thing. Shen Yunxi is an independent individual with his own thoughts, and Shen Yunzhe can't control him." Huang Yihua said, "It's just that their relationship may not be as tense as we imagined. Or rather: it's not as tense as we think."
"You seem relatively calm."
"After seeing so much, it's hard not to be calm." Huang Yihua said, "Besides, how can we make them unhappy at a time like this? We are all counting on Shen Yunzhe and Shen Yunxi for help."
Li Yiluan nodded, "True, but is Shen Yunzhe really okay? The guy over there is a bit too clingy."
"They look exactly alike, so they must be related. As for what that relationship is, I can't really guess." Huang Yihua looked at the schedule. "Even if they are related in that way, it's their private matter. We shouldn't interrupt and ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang. They turned their heads to look at the car door, only to see Shen Yunzhe squatting at the door with a cigarette in his mouth, but Codename Hope had already fallen out of the door.
The train seemed to be waiting for this opportunity. Almost in the next moment, the door creaked shut. They only saw Codename Xiwang rushing up before the door closed, and he threw himself into Shen Yunzhe's arms, his eyes full of fear.
It looks like a frightened cat, and it makes me feel pity for it.
Perhaps the person who wanted to be thrown off the train failed to do so, the train paused for a moment, and then drove forward desperately. Shen Yunzhe kicked the door, looking like he was venting his anger.
"Open the door." Shen Yunzhe shouted, "I'm going to throw him down!"
Codename Hope still looked frightened, "You don't want me anymore?"
"Where are you putting your hands?" Shen Yunzhe didn't care about his pretended appearance.
After hearing these words, Li Yuluan and Huang Yihua, who were about to stop the fight, squatted back in their original positions.
Well, they heard nothing.
