Chapter 208 Everyone Knows
This woman, Shen Sangning, is really awful.
Even a big boss of a villain organization like Reporter Ye would think so from the bottom of his heart.
The bad thing about Shen Sangning is that she really treats each dungeon as a game. Although she knows how to solve the puzzle, she will never spoil the plot. She sincerely wants Lin Xi to have fun.
As for whether Lin Xi was having fun or not, or whether others would suffer as a result, she didn't care at all. She had been like this when she was alive, and when she dragged Lin Xi to play escape rooms or script-killing games, she had the same idea: as long as she had fun, that was all.
Lin Xi wasn't actually happy playing. Every time she played these games, she felt like her IQ was being crushed. But as long as she was with Shen Sangning, she would feel very happy.
Shen Sangning felt that Lin Xi was happy, so she was happy too. She didn't think Lin Xi disliked playing this kind of game at all. Although the Rule Ghost Story dungeon was difficult and easy to kill, as long as she was there to protect Lin Xi, she would be fine.
She even enjoyed the time when Lin Xi was worried.
Chen Sangning saw Reporter Ye's look and knew what she meant. However, she took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I don't care what happens to the others. Besides, you've already designed the dungeon. Even if I kill you now, the Rule Monster World will still bring others in when the time comes."
"If I'm guessing correctly, the Rule Ghost Story game itself is a 'game' that has been mutated by the white fog. You just designed the levels in advance."
Without Reporter Ye's answer, Shen Sangning could clearly see the answer from her eyes.
"Chen Sangning, you're scarier than I thought." Reporter Ye looked at Chen Sangning and said this. Then, she added, "Does Lin Xi know you're this kind of person?" She was actually trying to irritate Chen Sangning, but she didn't get angry. She simply replied, "She knows."
How could Lin Xi not understand Chen Sang Ning? She already knew that Chen Sang Ning was a bit mean and didn't care at all. If you like someone, you should tolerate all her shortcomings, even if neither Lin Xi nor Chen Sang Ning thought that her little bit of meanness was a shortcoming.
At this moment, reporter Ye was silent, and she began to regret putting the key of choice in the hands of the two people.
Shen Sangning also saw this in her. She finished the water in the cup and did not plan to refill it. Instead, she said, "Anyway, you are already tired of this world. How it will develop in the future will be decided by Lin Xi and me."
Reporter Ye's little thoughts were completely transparent in front of Shen Sangning.
Ghosts have no heart, so they do the same thing day after day. But if they had a heart, would they get bored with what they did before? The answer is yes.
This can be seen from Sun Kege. She first came into contact with the human Zhu Zhu, and gained a broken soul, evolving a second personality. Her second personality became bored with her previous life, and then through contact with Lin Xi, she developed a complete heart.
So she felt even more resistant to her previous life and thought about leaving.
Reporter Ye, through unknown means, gained the heart, but she herself had already made changes, even secretly running away to another city and bringing Xia Cui with her. She was tired of this world, longing for more contact with the living, and at the same time had to keep this world going.
Maybe reporter Ye has long wanted to escape from his current life, but he has no way to entrust the world to a group of people who have no "heart" or only have incomplete hearts.
Now, reporter Ye finally found this opportunity and threw the world away.
However, at the moment Lin Xi made the wish, even if reporter Ye didn't want to hand over the world, there was nothing he could do, because the key had already been in Lin Xi's hand.
Reporter Ye also realized that Shen Sangning had seen through her. She pursed her lips and looked at Shen Sangning for a long time, but couldn't help it and asked a second question: "Why did you come to me?" A guy who already knew everything came to chat with the final big boss. This situation was very strange no matter how you looked at it.
Shen Sangning didn't keep her hanging and answered directly: "Because Lin Xi is not here, I'm bored."
No joke, Shen Sang Ning is serious.
Reporter Ye understood this and was even more speechless.
After Lin Xi returned to the real world, Cai Hua said something similar to Lin Xi, namely: Reporter Ye from 404 next door is very likely the chairman of the committee and the ultimate boss.
Faced with this situation, Lin Xi's mouth dropped open. She recalled the scene where Reporter Ye quickly slid to his knees. She believed Cai Hua, but this conclusion made her a little unconvinced: "Isn't that Big Boss a little too unrefined?"
"No one said that the big boss can't slide down on the spot, and maybe he is just pretending to trick you." Li Lana added.
Lin Xi, who had been deceived, closed her mouth and took a deep breath: "Then why did she do this?"
Li Lana shrugged: "Who knows? Besides, there is no need to know."
After all, they are not ghosts, and cannot sense the specific thoughts of ghosts. Cai Hua really doesn't care what reporter Ye thinks. The most important thing is that they must kill reporter Ye.
Lin Xi was even more confused: "Wait a minute, according to what you said, isn't Reporter Ye planning to hand over the power in his hands?"
"That's true, but handing it over doesn't erase what she did. And... there's no guarantee she won't change her mind and try to replace you again. So the best thing to do is to stab Reporter Ye to death."
Li Lanna's words made sense, but Lin Xi couldn't wrap her head around them. She still didn't understand what the rights they were talking about were. Cai Hua saw this and told her bluntly, "It's the 'game' itself. If nothing unexpected happens, Reporter Ye should have captured the 'game' that mutated into a strange story. This strange story can connect to other worlds and even create copies. Lin Xi, you must seize this thing."
Lin Xi was confused by the large amount of information and felt that she couldn't be confused alone, so she went to find He Sitong and asked her to be confused with her.
He Sitong was able to get out of bed now, but the problem was that getting out of bed was one thing, and being able to walk was already good enough. Trying to run or jump was almost impossible. Entering the dungeon like this was basically a death sentence.
But He Sitong was quite optimistic. She even thought: I am lucky to have lived so many times. If I can survive until the end, she would wonder if she is also a character with the halo of the protagonist.
Hearing what Lin Xi said, she was also surprised: "Ah? It turns out that the big boss has always been by Sister Xi's side? That guy is too bad." The two of them chattered for a long time, and He Sitong suddenly invited Lin Xi to come to the hospital to eat hot pot with her tomorrow.
Lin Xi was quite surprised after hearing this: "You are in this state, and your boss will let you eat hot pot?"
"Maybe this is the last meal, let's eat first."
He Sitong's words silenced Lin Xi. He Sitong realized she'd said something wrong and tried to make amends, but her words only grew more and more bizarre. "Oh, I just hope to have a good meal before I die... I'm not saying I'll definitely die in the next instance, but anyway... well, I'm craving hot pot."
With He Sitong already in this state, what else could Lin Xi say? She agreed immediately. When she finally arrived, she discovered the hospital had specially prepared a large table, and Lin Xi wasn't the only one enjoying the hot pot. He Sitong's parents, her best friend, and others were also there.
Not only did He Sitong feel that she would not be able to survive the next level, her parents and friends also felt so.
But when eating hot pot, everyone was smiling and showing their happiest side, at least to prevent He Sitong from entering the dungeon with regrets and sadness. After eating hot pot, He Sitong's family and friends said goodbye to He Sitong, leaving only Lin Xi and He Sitong alone.
At this time, He Sitong burst into tears.
Sitting in a wheelchair, she looked exactly like the one Lin Xi had seen in the book world. However, there was no hatred in her eyes, only deep sadness: "Sister Xi, I don't want to die! Woo, I really don't want to die!"
No one wants to die, but at this moment, Lin Xi can feel He Sitong's attachment to this world.
Lin Xi didn't have any attachment to this world. She couldn't say any words of comfort to He Sitong and could only put her hand on her shoulder.
He Sitong wiped her tears and looked up at Lin Xi. "Sister Xi, you must live on with Sister Ningning. Let that shitty rule-based world and Reporter Ye suffer!"
"I will." Lin Xi could agree with He Sitong on this point.
Deep down in her heart, she actually has a small wish, which is: to let other anchors survive.
This wasn't easy to explain, but Lin Xi already had a rough idea in mind. If Cai Hua and the others were to follow, then the next dungeon would most likely determine the final winner. The essence of the Rule Ghost Story dungeon was a game created by a game editor. Combined with the library dungeon, one could actually draw a conclusion—
You can clear customs in advance.
If Lin Xi had cleared the game ahead of time, reached the real body of the "game" ghost story, and closed the game ahead of time, He Sitong would have been able to get out alive.
But she couldn't guarantee that she could do it, so she could only say to He Sitong: "Sitong, try your best to survive. In the last stage, do your best to survive."
He Sitong pursed her lips, looked at Lin Xi and nodded: "I will do it, it's just a game, I will definitely pass it!"
You're right, it's just a game.
Lin Xi came back from He Sitong, and Cai Hua found her again. She said to Lin Xi: "Chen Sangning's parents submitted an application and hope to meet you. Do you want to meet them?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. Looking at her expression, Cai Hua knew that Lin Xi was probably thinking: What are those two old men up to again?
Cai Hua explained: "The reason I told you this is because they seem to have realized their mistakes."
In other words, they regretted it. They regretted treating Shen Sang Ning like that, and they also regretted treating Lin Xi like that.
But Lin Xi shrugged his shoulders: "That has nothing to do with me, I won't see you."
