Extra three
Chapter 187
Chen Qi doesn't like the playground, and he dislikes the weird things in the playground even more.
No one likes ugly desires, although it is not normal to indulge in them to some extent.
He always followed the rule he followed every time he entered the game field: clearing out all the strange objects in the game field in advance.
He is the only player in the world who can directly harm strange creatures. Although he is an official member, the official cannot control him. This also makes Shen Qi quite famous, because the presence of Shen Qi in the same game field means that the threat of this game field can be ignored.
Everyone can leave the playground alive.
This is a game field related to mirrors, named "Mirror City". There are many phantoms of players in the mirror. The phantoms will replace the players at some point and trap the players in the mirror forever.
It's a pity that this is a game field where Chen Qi can't completely clear out the weird things. After all, they are the shadows of all the players. He can't be with these people all the time, and he can't be completely sure whether these players have been replaced. So Chen Qi happily gave up.
Even if he plays badly, no one can say anything to him. If he really dares to go to the authorities to complain, he will only be thrown out.
He is Shenqi, the only official player who can directly harm strange creatures, and he can't even treat them as treasures.
Instead of acting with other players, Shen Qi strolled around the game field with his hands in his pockets. Although it was a game field, these places were real venues and spaces. Every time Shen Qi came here, he treated it as a trip. After all, he was a person who got bored easily, so if he didn't want to be bored, he had to find something to do.
Perhaps he realized that Shen Qi was not someone to be trifled with, and since no strange creatures came to provoke Shen Qi, he just watched the players around him like a spectator, trying to figure out who was replaced by the mirror and who had framed another person.
Because the other party strongly argued, they asked Shen Qi to deal with this person to see if he would be hurt by Shen Qi.
Shen Qi yawned, casually dealt with the strange object, and then turned and left their temporary resting place.
Sometimes you get bored if you watch too many plays.
He went into the nearby bathroom, casually turned on the faucet and splashed water on his face. When he felt sober, he raised his head, but his eyes were fixed on the mirror in front of him.
It was here that he first encountered the strange creature.
It was a mirror covered with cracks. A player had seen a reflection in the mirror that was different from his own, so he broke the mirror. The broken mirror reflected countless copies of himself. In the end, the player was dragged into the mirror by the shadow. When others heard the noise and came over, they only saw the broken mirror.
At this moment, Shen Qi clearly saw a person standing opposite the mirror. He was standing in the same position as himself. In the reflection of the mirror, water was dripping slowly from the faucet, and the water fell into the ceramic sink, making a dripping sound. Shen Qi shook his hand, splashing a string of water, but the person in the mirror was unmoved and seemed not to want to touch the water at all.
What? The weird thing is afraid of water?
"You're a very incompetent creature." Shen Qi said, "You could at least pretend to be my shadow. Who would be scared if you stood straight like this?"
The shadow in the mirror looked at him doubtfully. After a long while, Shen Qi heard him speak, "You look a lot like me."
"That's not the case." Shen Qi said, "You are my shadow, so of course you look like me."
"Really?" A shadow that looked exactly like him put his finger on the crack of the mirror. Shen Qi watched his finger move from the top of the crack to the bottom little by little. He didn't seem to care much about what Shen Qi said. He was more interested in the crack on the mirror than talking.
"This is a mirror that a player smashed." Shen Qi said, "Can you break it from the inside?"
Shadow thought about it, and he seemed to use a little force. In an instant, Shen Qi heard the harsh sound of the mirror rubbing against each other, and the next moment one or two pieces of mirror fragments fell from the mirror surface.
As if this had been proven, Shadow stopped pushing forward and withdrew his hand to look at himself.
The eyes in countless mirror fragments were all looking at him, which would indeed put a lot of psychological pressure on people, especially since the shadow was himself. But Shen Qi was not an ordinary person. He didn't care at all about the strange creatures in the mirror looking at him, and even found it quite interesting.
It was also during this eye contact that Chen Qi discovered that Shadow's eyes were black, completely black, like a pitch-black night, with nothing but black.
"Will you attack me?" Shen Qi asked this question.
The shadow looked at him meaningfully with a slight smile on his lips. The next moment, the mirror returned to its normal reflection, and the strange creature did not take any further action.
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing, "It seems like I encountered something interesting."
According to Chen Qi's years of experience in the playground, most of the strange creatures in the playground have a fixed process of scaring people. In other words: these strange creatures are stupid in mind and stiff in body. They are dominated by negative emotions and can only come out to scare people.
However, this strange creature not only did not scare him, but also did not come out to try to replace him, as if it really realized that he was a person who could threaten its own safety.
A weird thing that is different from other weird things?
There was interest in his eyes again.
A strange creature that has its own thoughts and can decide its own actions must be well protected.
But until he left the playground, he never encountered this strange object again. Before leaving, Shen Qi dismantled all the mirrors and tried to find its trace in every reflection. Unfortunately, he found nothing. There were glass and mirror fragments everywhere.
In the end, he did not choose to destroy the medium. He thought: If this playground came to reality, he might see this interesting weird thing again.
Just like that, he returned to the real world.
The official has a very complicated process, that is, every official member will submit a detailed game field process after entering the game field. This is to collect clues about the game field. Chen Qi yawned and wrote a few words casually. Anyway, he did this every time. Just write a few words casually, and the official will not care about him.
Li Yiluan was sitting in the office. He glanced at Chen Qi, then suddenly sat up straight and began to look at him openly.
Shen Qi signed his name on the last line, then turned his chair to face Li Yiluan.
"What are you looking at?"
"Hiss, something's wrong with you." Li Yiluan said, "The red star is moving, you are going to get married."
"Get married?" Chen Qi threw the white paper aside. "No matter how you look at it, I'm a man, right? You don't need to use random adjectives to insult me."
Li Yilun held his chin and shook his head in a daze, "No, no, I didn't make a mistake, you really are a peach blossom blooming."
"It just seems like a black flower in spades, bringing bad luck."
After saying that, Li Yiluan walked away muttering to himself, leaving Shen Qi alone in the office.
Chen Qi clicked his tongue. He had no interest in the Red Luan Star Movement that Li Yuluan mentioned. He was born to dislike people, and he didn't like hanging out with people. If he was really forced to live with someone, he would probably get so annoyed that he would kill the person the next day.
Then on the third day, he went for a mental evaluation and was sent to a mental hospital.
He picked up his cup and went to the empty rest room and poured himself a glass of warm water. He picked up the warm water and looked at the mirror. The person in the mirror was also looking at him. As he looked, he remembered the strange and weird object in the mirror.
I really don’t know what that thing was and why it disappeared afterwards. Or is that thing really a strange thing?
So strange and interesting.
Shen Qi picked up the cup and took a sip of water, but at this moment his pupils suddenly contracted, because in the mirror opposite, his own shadow was still standing there steadily. It was not drinking water, and it was not even holding a cup in its hand.
Shadow seemed to have discovered something and tilted his head.
The water cup fell to the ground, and Shen Qi immediately rushed to the mirror, "Hey, don't..."
He pressed his hand against the cold mirror, but the shadow in the mirror had long since disappeared. He could only see himself panting and the shattered pieces of the cup behind him.
Chen Qi panted, and he touched his hand from the top to the bottom of the mirror. After about a minute, he seemed to react and took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Li Yuluan.
"Hello?" Li Yuluan had already arrived at the subway station, and there was still some noise around him.
Shen Qi said: "There is something, I seem to be entangled by something dirty."
Li Yilun: ...
Shen Qi added, "That thing was in the mirror. It followed me home from the playground!"
Li Yilun: ...
"I'm serious!"
"I know what you said is true. Can you please stop laughing?" Li Yiluan touched the goose bumps on his arm. "Blame Shenren."
"I'm not worried about you at all. I'm worried about the ghost that accidentally haunted you. How unlucky is it to follow you?"
Shen Qi: ...
Hang up the phone quickly and pretend you didn't hear it.
In the days that followed, Chen Qi began to search for this ghost, whose hiding place was unknown, and treated it as an interesting game.
This ghost doesn't hide at all, and he often finds clues. However, this ghost doesn't seem to want to meet him at all. After being discovered by him, he will find a new place to hide and no longer try to talk to him.
But Shen Qi didn't sense any trace of danger from him.
This shows that he has no intention of hurting Shen Qi, nor does he have any evil thoughts. It is even very likely that he is not a strange creature created by negative emotions.
How interesting! A mysterious species that looks like a weird creature and even mingle among weird creatures, but is not a weird creature.
He mostly hid in the mirror, so every day Shen Qi would buy some sticky notes, write down what he wanted to say on the sticky notes and stick them on the mirror; he would occasionally come out of the mirror and stand on the balcony, so Shen Qi put a writing board on the balcony to greet him every day; he would also flip through the books on the bookshelf, so Shen Qi would put a bookmark with the word "Hello" in each book.
"But even so, he ignored me." Shen Qi lay on the table and complained to Li Yuluan, "He ignored all my attempts to please him and didn't respond to me at all!"
Li Yuluan held a cup of coffee and listened to the little things between him and the ghost, making clicking sounds.
"Can't you just hurt the strange creature directly? Just tie him up and lock him in a small dark room."
"I can, but I can't control my strength. Any strange creature will die if it hits my hands. I want to get to know him, not kill him."
Li Yiluan tutted his words again, "You've considered it quite comprehensively. She can indeed get married."
"I came to you for advice, not for you to laugh at me."
"How would I know how to please a ghost?" Li Yiluan finished the coffee in his cup in two gulps. "If you want to go, go ahead. Didn't you say it didn't mean to hurt you? Then go ahead and try. It's not like you'll die anyway."
Shen Qi looked at Li Yiluan. After a moment, he frowned. "Huh? Dead?"
It seemed that the strange creature hiding in his house and never wanting to talk to him was somewhat curious about his life. He had never been hostile to Shen Qi, and even occasionally cared about his living conditions. In other words: he didn't really want to see Shen Qi die.
Shen Qi suddenly had a good plan.
Looking at the expression on Shen Qi's face, Li Yiluan raised his eyebrows slightly. He silently pressed the button on the table to prompt the official members.
Stay away! Shen Qi is having another attack!
Shen Qi returned home. He didn't like cooking and the food he cooked was not tasty, so every time he came back he would buy fast food or take away the food. Ever since he discovered that magical strange creature appeared next to him, he started to pack away two meals, as if this would please the other person.
Unfortunately, the other party never touched the food.
Shen Qi first observed his surroundings to make sure that nothing in the house had been moved, and finally he walked to the balcony.
The balcony was exactly the same as when he left it. The newly added writing board still had the handwriting he left that morning, with a line of words written on it.
'Speak to me.'
There was no trace at all, and the other party didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
Shen Qi sighed. He wiped the writing on the blackboard, cleared all the sticky notes on the mirror, and threw everything into the trash can. Shen Qi took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and walked to the balcony to open it. The beer made a hissing sound when it was opened, which seemed particularly refreshing in this summer.
Shen Qi stretched lazily while holding his beer.
"Hey, are you here?" Shen Qi said.
The air was quiet and no one spoke.
Shen Qi took a sip of beer and then said with a smile: "This world is really boring, don't you think so? Come on, don't be silent, how about chatting with me for a while?"
He didn't seem to care whether Shen Yunzhe said anything or not, and just kept expressing his own opinions. "But I think the playground is even more boring than this world. It's empty and filled with only negativity, don't you think? How do you find fun living in a place like that?"
Shen Qi laughed. If an official were here, they would immediately get goosebumps from his laughter.
Because he laughed like that, it meant he was starting to have a seizure.
When Shen Qi was recruited by the authorities, they all agreed that he was a very good person, good-looking, well-behaved, with an angelic face and innocent eyes. Everyone felt they had found a treasure until Shen Qi had his first attack.
He followed the authorities to deal with an extreme player who became mentally ill after entering the game field. Not only did he keep arresting people and forcing ordinary people to watch surprise Easter eggs, he also took his anger out on ordinary people because he was the only one who entered the game field, causing the deaths of several ordinary people.
The man was quite capable and had several hostages. He even gathered a bunch of minions to block the police. After the police decided to shoot him directly, they also notified the authorities. The authorities went there more to collect information rather than participate in the operation.
That was Shen Qi's first mission, and they let him go in order to familiarize him with the official procedures. Everyone wanted to protect him well. After all, Shen Qi looked weak and the ability that could directly harm strange objects was only effective against strange objects.
Unexpectedly, this extreme player also took advantage of the innocent and simple-looking Shen Qi, and actually took him as a hostage, and successfully grabbed Shen Qi's collar.
It was at that moment that Shen Qi revealed his true colors for the first time. He grabbed the extreme player's neck and slammed him against the wall. The man fainted in an instant, with blood all over his forehead. Shen Qi was not going to let go and hit him a second time in front of everyone's horrified eyes.
His hit was accurate and fierce. By the time the officials reacted and stopped Shen Qi, this extreme player had already fallen into a deep coma. He was immediately sent to the hospital but could not wake up.
As a result, he was eliminated immediately in the next game and died in the intensive care unit.
From then on they knew that beneath Shen Qi's angelic appearance was a devil's heart.
He can really go crazy. When he goes crazy, he won't recognize anyone and will even hurt himself.
Shen Qi climbed directly onto the railing, sat on it and took a sip of beer before saying, "If you don't come out, I'll jump down."
He said it casually, as if he had said "It's time to eat today" in a calm and relaxed manner. After that, he loosened his hand, and the beer can in his hand fell from the tenth floor. With a snap, the beer hall was smashed directly, and the orange-yellow beer splashed far away. Shen Qi looked at the beer on the ground, and the scene of the beer flowing out was reflected in his eyes.
He didn't wait any longer, but slid down the railing directly. He really intended to jump down.
His body slid down, and he felt a moment of weightlessness. It was an uncomfortable feeling, but Shen Qi was still smiling. Just when he thought he might really fall down, a slightly cold hand grabbed his wrist, and in an instant all his strength fell on this hand.
Shen Qi raised his head and looked at the man standing on the balcony looking at him with a smile.
"I won." Shen Qi looked up at him, "Look, you finally came out."
"Are you sick?" The man looked at him doubtfully, "Are you really going to jump down?"
"That's not the point. The point is that you really came out." Shen Qi said smugly, "I know you're here, spying on my life every day, and pretending you're not here. I caught you, right?"
The man looked at Shen Qi speechlessly, with an expression that seemed as if he really wanted to let go and let him fall.
But in the end he still pulled Shen Qi up.
He also didn't want to watch another person die.
Shen Qi sat on the balcony floor and looked at the man. His eyes were bright as he grabbed the man's hand, as if he didn't want him to run away. "What's your name?"
The man seemed a little disgusted, but now that he was out, there was no need to hide any longer.
So he spoke, "Shen Yunzhe."
"My name is Shen Yunzhe."
