Chapter 583 Above the Posing (End) [VIP]
The doubts on the bullet screen obviously did not affect the exploration team members on the screen. After everyone had filled in the rules in advance, they looked at each other, nodded, and prepared to fill in the rules at the last minute.
If we were to say who was the most uneasy person at the scene, it would probably not be the members of Team 2 who were about to fill out the fatal rules, but the members of Team 1 who were unsure whether they could leave.
Except for Fu Yiran, whose expression was calm and his mood was hard to tell, many people had obvious anxiety and uneasiness on their faces. Several team members were walking around the room, unable to sit still. They wanted to stretch their heads to see the contents on the panel of the second team members, but they were afraid of being judged by the rules, so they could only walk around in place.
In just a few minutes of filling out the rules, the atmosphere near the pharmacy changed drastically. Even the "gaming god" who was discussing auxiliary equipment with Qiu Zihan a few minutes ago fell silent. Only the uneasy look in her eyes that floated in the air revealed her nervousness.
At the edge of the crowd, Aunt Qin clasped her hands in front of her chest, muttering something and even looking like she was praying.
Many investors on the bullet screen saw this scene and felt a little bit sorry:
[Auntie Qin, hey, I hope Team One can leave successfully, otherwise her daughter will be very pitiful. ]
[Aunt Qin has been in this unknown space for so long, her daughter probably thought she was dead.]
[People who are not aware of the Foundation cannot be informed of the Foundation’s related information. Her daughter should think that she has suddenly disappeared, and she may still be recruiting people.]
[That's pretty tragic. I hope Aunt Qin can go back.]
[No, I'm saying that all of you who are praying for Aunt Qin to go back, is there anyone who can crack the loophole left by the rule of Aoshen? The other rules have little to do with the members of Team 1. Is his rule the key for them to go back?]
[Good question, do you think we don't know? I want to crack it, but I can't. I don't know why Skao told Wen Qi and the captain about the wrong rules alone.]
[So why? Has anyone figured out what the rule of Aoshen is? ]
[My friend and I discussed it, the blank in the front is not clear, but the blank in the back should be the two words "Yinshi" and "Yangshi". This paragraph should say "When the residents of Yangshi die and enter the Yinshi, those who mistakenly enter the Yinshi will recover their memories and return to Yangshi"]
【What about the space in front? 】
[I don't know. It would be great if we knew. Obviously, the one in front of us is the correct information that Ao Shen has concealed, right? ]
There were only a few words of sympathy on the barrage before the topic returned to the strange rules filled in by Scarao.
Key information was missing when filling in the rules. It was difficult to figure out the meaning of the rules he wanted to fill in based on just a sentence without a main body.
The instigator seemed to have fallen asleep leaning back in his chair after filling out the bracket, regardless of the flood of comments and speculations flying around.
[As for Wen Qi and the captain, the only difference between them and the others is that they are indigenous people, so could it be that Aoshen thought Wen Qi was a student and only told her this correct rule that is not considered a rule? ]
【? You should read the nonsense you are talking about. How can there be a correct rule that cannot be recognized? Even if there is, how can the God of Ao verify it? What if it is a real rule and I am taken away after filling it out?】
[…Could it be some news that only the indigenous people could know? ]
【Hot knowledge, Xu Ke is also an aboriginal. 】
[Xu Ke is obviously in opposition to Aoshen and the others now. Will you tell the correct information to the people you are in opposition to? ]
【To be honest, it is still unclear whether this is correct information or not. As we all know, there is no room for trial and error in filling out the rules this time. Once you fill it out, you will be kicked out. Ao Shen told others rule A, but filled in rule B. The normal brain circuit should not be that A is fake news, and B is the real rule. Is what Ao Shen told them both fake news? 】
[Oh, yeah... so why did Aoshen tell them false news? ]
The barrage paused for a few seconds, then quickly started to refresh again, but there were more confusing messages.
Among the chaotic messages, two messages flashed across the screen quickly and were immediately drowned in the sea of comments:
[…Damn, I think I know why. ]
[Fuck Skao... Skao... He is worthy of being called the God of Ao, no wonder he dared to say these things just now... He is not afraid of any accidents at all. ]
Bai Jinshu was indeed not afraid of anything happening.
He leaned back in his chair, half-closed his eyes and rested, looking peaceful as if he was going to catch up on some sleep before the final moment came.
Just as the comment said, he was not afraid of any trouble if he announced the news here, because the rules he stated were false rules in themselves.
He deliberately avoided everyone and only spoke these words to Wen Qi beside Huai Jiamu's bed where no one was gathered. Of course, this was to prevent other team members from hearing this wrong information and making wrong judgments.
At first, Huai Jiamu didn't seem to realize that he had deliberately sent out wrong information, and even activated the time stop to try to fight against the copy mechanism... Fortunately, Huai Jiamu understood quickly, and when he asked Huai Jiamu to unlock the time stop space and insisted on telling this message in front of Wen Qi, he believed that Huai Jiamu had heard his subtext and understood his intentions.
As for why this false news had to be sent to Wen Qi's ears, it was of course for another person present.
Bai Jinshu opened his eyes slightly, walked through the crowd around him, and looked at the bandage on Huai Jiamu that was faintly stained with blood.
Both he and Skao are people who will avenge themselves. Ever since Huai Jiamu was stabbed by Xiao Guo because of his identity, he decided to make everyone involved in this matter pay the price.
The Yin and Yang worlds are not connected, and it would be dangerous for the exploration team to rashly enter the Yang world. So they should find someone who can reach the Yang world.
Wen Qi's dual souls in one body was an accident. She was indeed the candidate favored by Skao, but even Skao did not think at the beginning that Wen Qi could split her soul and go to the world of the living.
So his goal changed from training Wen Qi and letting her go back to take revenge to manipulating Wen Qi to take revenge in the world of the living now.
Wen Qi has a miserable life, so she is naturally extremely obedient and quick-witted when facing her only savior. She is several times more perceptive and wiser than ordinary people in these matters. She is almost the most similar talent to herself that Scarao has ever seen.
Wen Qi lived up to his confidence and in another world, she followed his instructions and committed perfect crimes time and time again.
From immature to skilled, from obedient to designing things on one's own, Wen Qi's growth rate is astonishingly fast. Skao seems to see himself picking up a blade for the first time in high school, but Wen Qi is more harmless and faces more difficult targets.
But that’s not enough.
In this growth path that Scarao carefully designed for her, there is an obvious turning point - the death of Wen Qi's parents.
With this designed disaster, it only took a few seconds for Wen Qi to go from an invisible person who was ignored and bullied by everyone to the only second heir to a family fortune worth tens of millions. Another competitor with the same family fortune and inheritance rights was obviously no match for her.
So everything Wen Qi had wanted in the past appeared in her arms so easily.
She wanted to escape from this life, wanted to leave her parents and this home, wanted to be someone who would no longer be ignored and bullied, wanted to live a peaceful life, and for this reason she had even given up her legal life and name as long as she could achieve her goal.
This is one of the reasons why Skao was able to persuade her to obey his orders, and it is also one of the reasons why she is willing to do what Skao says.
But the death of my parents made this goal come true too quickly.
Wen Qi is still a minor, but she has this huge fortune. She can do nothing in the future. Even if she gives the property to a professional agent, she can still earn money every month. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The "big shot" wants to destroy the property of this couple, and the little residue that leaks out of his fingers is enough for Wen Qi to enjoy for a long time.
So here, a factor that clearly conflicts with Skao's training goals emerges.
Wen Qi has gotten what she wanted, even more than she wanted. No one will bully her anymore, so she doesn't have to fight back against these people. She lacks the motivation to move forward.
So... the teacher who had always stood behind her, supported her, educated her and guided her, finally showed his fangs a little bit -
He said that the way of heaven is unfair, there are too many bad people in the world and good people often do not live long. Only by killing those bad people can the good people return to the world of the living.
He also expressed this to Xu Ke in an obscure way in front of Wen Qi, but Xu Ke showed his absolute disapproval of such behavior.
Xu Ke insisted on procedural justice, and personal trial was obviously a simple justice, based on the simple value that good people should live and bad people should die, and based on the personal judgment of the judge.
An unconstrained personal trial is almost equivalent to a one-man show, and Xu Ke would certainly not agree with this way of handling things.
But Wen Qi is different.
No matter how precocious she is, she is first and foremost a victim who has suffered greatly since childhood, and secondly an avenger who is now capable of fighting back. What's more subtle is that she has seen blood on her hands.
As a policeman, in this world full of villains, Xu Ke can be considered upright and brave. He is the kind of person Wen Qi has always wanted to ask for help but has never met.
After her parents' death, Xu Ke's arrival made her belatedly experience the feeling of being cared for. She briefly included Xu Ke in the ranks of her own people, and briefly developed a sense of intimacy with the police represented by Xu Ke.
Similarly, Xu Ke's disagreement with this way of handling the case will cause Wen Qi to subconsciously equate him with all police officers and the judicial system, causing her to have extreme distrust of this group.
There is often a fine line between love and hate, and Scario is a master at manipulating emotions, not to mention that Xu Ke's every move has been in his plan since he returned to the world of the living.
It was part of Wen Qi's plan that Xu Ke would rush over after Wen Qi's parents died. It was also part of his plan that Xu Ke would come back on the last day of the seven days to discover the arson. Similarly, it was also part of his plan that Xu Ke would disapprove of this way of handling the matter.
Amid the violent emotional fluctuations, Wen Qi, as a person who has seen blood, is torn between simple justice and the injustice accumulated over the years, and perhaps some dissatisfaction with Xu Ke and the negative emotions of having to go against him. She should have started to calm down after her parents died, with a car and a house, but instead, under this circumstance, she would step back into the path designed for her by Skao.
A path she was bound to take.
Both Bai Jinshu and Scarao understand human nature too well. Human desires are endless and have no end. After satisfying basic survival needs, people will pursue spiritual enjoyment. When abundance and enjoyment reach their peak, they will want to pursue spiritual stimulation again.
Obviously, it is exciting enough to challenge the legal system and get away with murder.
Once you get through it once, your body will remember the feeling of adrenaline rush, and you will only want it a second time. After so many times, you will seek higher levels of stimulation.
Skao is such a person, and so is Wen Qi.
As long as she is given a reason to continue, she will quickly embark on this path and reach the final destination without any guidance.
In Scaro's words, this was probably a kind of talent, but most people with this talent were constrained by the law and never discovered in their entire lives that they might be particularly "good" at killing people.
"Brother Skaao, don't fall asleep," Qiu Zihan came over stealthily, and when he saw Bai Jinshu had his eyes closed, he was horrified and said, "There are still more than ten minutes left. What will happen to the rules if you fall asleep?"
Bai Jin said: "...I didn't sleep."
Qiu Zihan's words suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"It's good that I didn't sleep," Qiu Zihan's shock faded away, and he leaned close to Bai Jinshu's ear stealthily, "Um, Brother Skao, what level do you think our project can be upgraded to?"
As soon as Qiu Zihan said this, several members of the second team not far away pricked up their ears.
When we enter the unknown space, one of the goals is to earn points, and the second is of course to upgrade.
When the unknown space is upgraded, the exploration team members in the unknown space can also be upgraded. Entering a higher level of unknown space will naturally earn more points.
It can be said that no one doesn't want to upgrade.
"One or two levels..." Bai Jinshu pondered for a few seconds, and under the eager eyes of a group of people, he slowly uttered the last two words, "Guaranteed."
"For level three or four, the final judgment will be made."
Due to the special nature of the companion space, [Above Posa] will definitely be able to upgrade by about two levels. There is no problem from D to C, but whether it can reach C+ or even B is hard to say.
After all, this unknown space, apart from the accompaniment of a mortal world, currently does not seem to have any rules that make it easy to upgrade.
"Oh..." Qiu Zihan responded with regret. The regretful emotion did not last for a few seconds before he quickly shifted his attention, "What about Qiqi after we leave?"
What should Wen Qi do?
Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly.
She...of course followed the path that Skao wanted to take.
Before entering this world, he was prepared for what dangerous events might happen if Skao's synchronization rate increased to 100% in this world. In addition, after he came in, Huai Jiamu was suddenly injured and bedridden, and was unable to be by his side to lower the synchronization rate all the time. So in order to reduce the possibility of danger, Bai Jinshu has been gradually increasing Skao's synchronization rate to prevent him from doing something uncontrollable under high synchronization after a sudden increase.
Originally, judging from the configuration of this unknown space, Scarao should not be able to do anything too earth-shattering or dangerous. After all, his enemies are in another world, and if he wants revenge, he can only do so by training students.
But with the improvement of synchronization rate and the increase of usage times, it is inevitable that Bai Jinshu's understanding and recognition of Skao continues to deepen during the period when he cannot see Huai Jiamu.
Of course, Scarao had already planned how to manipulate Wen Qi step by step to walk the path he wanted her to take. When doing these things in the later stage, Bai Jinshu was even in sync with Scarao many times.
How to control Wen Qi's psychology step by step, to achieve perfect planning across two worlds, and to predict the follow-up of each step of the development of the incident...Skao is like the manipulator standing behind the puppet and pulling the strings, and Bai Jinshu occasionally also pulls the strings.
The higher his synchronization rate, the clearer his thinking was and the more accurate his judgment of the current situation was. Unknowingly, the synchronization rate had reached a very dangerous value.
But the subtle thing is that even though the synchronization rate has reached this point, Bai Jinshu has never wanted to kill anyone uncontrollably. On the contrary, the higher the synchronization rate, the more he miraculously understands Skao.
From understanding every layout from the perspective of the chess player to manipulating each character to make the actions he wants, Huai Jiamu's injury aroused his revengeful mentality of tit-for-tat. Under the catalysis of this mentality, Bai Jinshu often couldn't be sure whether it was because the synchronization rate was too high and Skao's thinking affected his judgment, or because he was in a revengeful mentality and wanted to do so himself.
Until ten minutes ago.
When Huaijiamu paused time, the moment he turned his head in surprise to meet those eyes, Skao's synchronization rate was indeed zero.
Bai Jinshu had no chance to not say that. As long as he didn't say that, according to the normal progress, even if Wen Qi, who suddenly inherited the family property, would think of pursuing spiritual stimulation, it would take several years.
After enjoying three or four years of a pampered life as a privileged class, perhaps she would become calmer, more tactful, and more decisive. Her style of doing things would no longer be so roundabout. Her social circle would become wider. She would have more resources and more connections, and become a completely different person from the current Wen Qi.
But no matter what, Wen Qi no longer appears to inherit Skao's will and has changed the way of seeking excitement. Those who hurt Huai Jiamu may never receive the same revenge again.
It was when the synchronization rate completely returned to zero that Bai Jinshu suddenly realized that Huai Jiamu's weight had unknowingly become heavier than many things.
At this moment, without the 0% influence of Skao, he still made the same choice.
Time resumed its flow, and the moment Bai Jin told Wen Qi about the wrong rule that misled him, he seemed to truly understand and identify with Skao, and truly became Skao.
He broke down the last wall between that and Skaol.
In the noisy pharmacy, Bai Jinshu lowered his eyes, seeming to understand where the subtle changes in his fixed attributes came from.
It is not so much that he has broken the barriers between himself and the characters he has "become" because he has used them enough times, but rather that his own emotions are truly aroused by these characters, he is in tune with them, understands what they do, and identifies with their code of conduct. Only then will these characters become a part of him and be integrated into his body.
Skao is not a superficial pleasure criminal. On the contrary, he has a long-range plan, is good at reading people's hearts, remains calm and composed, and acts with ease. He acts without restraint and does whatever he wants. No matter where he is, he is a terrifying person.
So at this moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps what was worthy of vigilance about Skao was not that he could escape unscathed from countless killing situations that he had initiated himself, but that he was too good at seeing through others.
If you are too good at seeing through a person, you will be able to change that person too easily, just like in this world, everyone shows a bright and beautiful front stage to the outside world, but only he can see their underlying code data.
Rather than calling those who died at the hands of people he guided and took another path his works, it would be better to say that the people who killed them were Skao's works, and Wen Qi was his masterpiece.
A masterpiece that is different from previous works in every sense.
Wen Qi's outstanding talent and the accidental exchange of the revolving lantern with Wangchuan Henei allowed her to see the true nature of Skao that other students had never truly seen, and also made her a different existence from those previous "students".
Even if Scarao no longer appears in this world, there will always be someone like Wen Qi walking on the path he has planned, and at every crossroads, following Scarao's creed to become his second self.
From a poor little girl who was ignored by her parents and bullied at school to the current heir to a fortune, it only took Scaro six days to shape her into the person he wanted to see.
"Get ready, Skao, there's only one minute left." Zhao Yinglai ran over and patted Bai Jinshu on the shoulder without noticing anything. "Those of you who have written long essays can start filling in the rules. I only have two words. I'll wait a little longer."
Following this reminder, the members of the surrounding second team of exploration team raised their watches, and Bai Jinshu nodded and opened the panel.
The rules that determine whether a team can escape from here and return to their original world are surprisingly simple—
[This space is a mirror image of the Yin and Yang worlds. The two spaces follow the principle of equivalent exchange. When a resident of the Yang world dies and enters the Yin and Yang world, those who mistakenly enter the Yin and Yang world will regain their memories and return to the Yang world.]
There has never been a judgment of right or wrong, good or bad. Scario is good at manipulating people's hearts and likes to make a fuss about good and evil. However, human nature is complex, and good and evil have always been complex. There is no absolute good or bad.
The reason why a team of explorers in the underworld were able to wake up was very simple, because someone died in the world of the living.
To put it in more detail, it is because the people who died in the world of the living were related to these outsiders.
The opportunity to discover this rule was also very simple, because the night before, the big shot stayed up all night, and in order to wake up his backers, he killed a lot of their death row prisoners as "reserve food". At the same time, other people except Team 1 recovered their memories, and among these people, only some were related to Lin Jianyu.
This discovery directly overturned their initial speculation—that after killing someone in the world of the living, people related to the murderer would awaken in the underworld.
Since this discovery, Bai Jinshu began to suspect that the people who woke up and regained their memories were actually random.
In fact, the awakened person seems to have no relationship with the murderer. Who wakes up is completely random, or who wakes up may follow some other rules of the underworld, such as "seniority" or the time of entry.
He always thought that the old man in the pharmacy treated them well because he thought they were police officers who came to replace someone, but now it seems that the truth is that the old man in the pharmacy mistakenly thought they were police officers who came to investigate the case. When he knew that the awakened person who was replaced was a random person but could not express it for safety reasons, he could only implicitly say that they gave them a lot of convenience because they were "official police officers."
So if the awakeners are random, the collective awakening of a team of members becomes strange.
Regardless of seniority or random awakening, it should not be their turn to recover their memories.
So at this moment, he thought of another possibility of the rules:
The team of detained underworld members are outsiders. Is there a possibility that their awakening is actually related to them, but in another way?
Referring to the group of people who woke up later, is there a possibility that the reason why one team woke up was because only indigenous people can replace indigenous people, and outsiders can replace outsiders.
This is also a principle of equivalent exchange between the yin and yang worlds.
In fact, the real rule should be explained in detail as the dynamic balance of the population between the Yin and Yang worlds. The detainees who have mistakenly entered the underworld and are not destined to die will gradually recover their memories after a considerable number of souls in the world of the living have died, and will eventually leave here and return to the world of the living.
Those who have "died" and returned to the world of the living will bring information from the underworld, causing more people to try to travel between the two worlds, and also bringing in more living souls who are detained in the underworld before their life span is over.
This also explains how these people represented by "big shots" learned about the underworld. They may have learned about the resurrected, or they may be such resurrected themselves.
Since the resurrected will return to the world of the living, they follow the principle of exchange. The team members who are "exchanged" by them lack the worldly identity of the natives of this world and cannot return to the world of the living like other awakened people. They can only leave here with the key they used when they logged out of the world.
Before the countdown ended and the second team left here, the passage connecting this space with the outside world had not yet been opened, so they naturally could not leave. Once the passage was opened, those people who did not belong here and were "replaced" would naturally follow them away.
As soon as the passage is opened, these team members with intact souls will naturally leave.
As for the remaining soul of He Chuling... the water of the Forgotten River will cleanse the soul. It is basically impossible for a soul that enters the Forgotten River to come out again. If Bai Jinshu and Zhao Ying had not come to take her away, I am afraid that her soul would really stay here, and He Chuling, the host of the original world, would also fall into a deep sleep and become unconscious.
From a certain perspective, the only person in Team One who was not left in the unknown space is precisely the most dangerous person. If Bai Jinshu had not met her once and suspected her identity as a member of the Foundation, even if the members of Team Two later entered this world and discovered the principle of equivalent exchange and rescued the others, her soul would not be able to return.
In the tens of seconds after I filled in the last rule, the comments were flooding in quickly:
[It's the last ten seconds. What you fill in now should be true, right? ]
[Uh... this can't be false. The last few words in the Aoshen line are easy to guess. Someone mentioned it before. It should be the underworld or the world of the living. It's just that the first few words are more important.]
[You said that if someone needs to add a glossary of terms to fill in the rules at the last minute, then everyone will be doomed...]
【Ahhhhhhhhhhh, stop being such a pessimist! 】
[Written! Aoshen wrote it! The principle of equivalent exchange! ]
【Ah... unexpectedly simple. 】
[I don't quite understand, waiting for an analysis. 】
[It’s too late to analyze the barrage. Only a dozen seconds are left. See you on the forum, folks…]
In the gaps on the screen that have been filled with barrages of comments, the countdown is approaching the last few seconds.
If someone closed the barrage at this time, they might be able to see that in the last few seconds of the countdown, Skao finished filling in the rules, suddenly tilted his head and looked in the direction of Wen Qi.
Wen Qi was standing far away, at the end of the road in front of the pharmacy with Xu Ke. Only a tiny corner of white could be seen due to his obstruction.
But Skao's eyes seemed to see through Xu Ke's back and see the "girl" in the white dress and long hair standing in front of him. He fell on her meaningfully and lightly, as if he saw her whole life at this moment.
——and the one being watched is unaware of it.
The author has something to say:
Finally - I have finished writing this difficult copy! All who see it will receive a bonus!
I am very very grateful to the readers who have accompanied me here. This dungeon has made everyone wait for a long time. Every day, I see that I am stuck and squatting to update until my legs are numb. From the sixth day of the day to the third day of the day, and then to the next day and every few days... I will give you a few kowtows and then catch Skao to bow to everyone.jpg Ao Shen is really too hard to write! How to find the balance between passing the review and Ao Shen's personality within the scope allowed by the review is really a brain-consuming thing. I feel that after opening this dungeon, I have a serious lack of brain cells. Every day I think about how to circumvent various review factors and complete one, two, three, and four kills... Fortunately, I still wrote it after being stuck for so long. I applaud myself and swear that I will never write something so embarrassing again. This ending is probably the most suitable ending for Skao that Hantang can think of. There is a student who was taught and trained by him personally, just like another shadow of him, the continuation of his spirit, doing things that Hantang cannot express in another world. Her follow-up has infinite possibilities.
Ah... just thinking about it makes Han Tang, a poor guy who asks his gay friends in small windows every day like crazy: "Do you think this will pass the review?", "Do you think it will be reported if you write like this?", "Please read this plot and see if there is anything that you think is too lawless", feel very happy.
Finally, finally… after more than half a year, I can finally change the cover! ...
As for the copy completion microblog...ah wait until Hantang wakes up tomorrow and tell me Zzzzzz
