Chapter 109: Sea Amusement Park (XVIII)
Another body of a strange fish was thrown into the sea. This time it was Xia Yingnuan who took action. She carried the extremely frightened Gao Yu back to Ning Hanqi. When the young lady was rescued, she was almost caught by the strange fish and dragged into the deep sea. Fortunately, Ning Hanqi predicted this situation in advance and asked Xia Yingnuan to pay attention to the situation on her side in advance, so that Gao Yu was rescued in time.
The consecutive deaths of two of their kind caused chaos among the fish. These strange fish looked strong but their fighting ability on land was relatively weak. They mainly used singing to pull their prey into the sea and then fight in the sea.
Once the prey breaks free from the illusion, these strange fish can easily be killed. They also know their own weaknesses, so they continue to evolve and grow in mental control, which gradually becomes a more difficult ability for players.
For example, Ning Hanqi just realized that he was hallucinating, but he still couldn't get rid of the illusion. The fastest way to get out of the predicament was to find the caster in the illusion and kill it.
Xia Yingnuan: "Out of nowhere, a strange app appeared on my phone that I can't uninstall..."
After she briefly summarized the course of events, the others showed the same excitement.
“Yes, yes, I have this on my phone too!”
"I was just filling out something random, thinking I wouldn't get charged for it anyway, so I just filled it out hoping to get rich, but then—! Who knew I'd end up in this hellhole!"
Listening to other people's narration, Xia Yingnuan slowly lowered her eyes, concealing a certain discovery.
Among all the people, it seemed that she was the only one who was teleported here directly after filling out the wish. For the others, it was already some time since today.
This also resulted in them not being able to react immediately.
The expression on the female college student's face was a little ugly, "So, it turned out to be true..." She wanted to cry, but couldn't really cry.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have controlled my hands and not filled it in randomly."
The bald man also sighed, "Who said it wasn't true? In this modern scientific society, who knew there were so many supernatural beings?"
The young man also said: "What should we do now? We don't even dare to get off the bus. Are we going to let the driver take us to the end? And..."
He swallowed fearfully, "I'm not saying anything, but we've made such a big noise here, and the driver didn't react at all, really..."
The female office worker continued, "You don't look like a human at all, do you?"
Young man: "You said that! I didn't say anything!"
The female office worker curled her lips. "It's common knowledge that the driver isn't a human being. Have you ever seen a driver who can drive in an environment like that?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the dark car window.
Seeing this, the young man didn't dare to say anything.
Xia Yingnuan said, "Since we're in an infinite dungeon, there must be a way to clear it and solve the puzzles. So I'm thinking, since we're on a bus now, will we be able to get off after we solve the puzzles?"
The female college student nodded. "But the problem is, there are no clues at all. How are we supposed to solve this puzzle?"
Right here, the car horn suddenly sounded.
“Ding Dong Ding——”
The voice of the bus broadcast is extremely familiar, but it was suddenly broadcast in such an environment. Not only did it fail to make people feel familiar and at ease, but it also gave people an unexpected sense of creepiness.
The originally plain electronic sound seemed to have a more rigid and mysterious quality.
Everyone else was startled and almost jumped up subconsciously, with the hair on their backs standing up, looking around in horror.
"What's going on? What's that sound? What's going to be announced?"
Xia Yingnuan frowned.
After she mentioned the puzzle-solving aspect, the announcement began. The content...
"Welcome everyone to the first dungeon of the Strength World. This dungeon is the Novice Village, where new players can get familiar with it, practice, and adapt quickly."
"In the Novice Village, there will be no elimination or casualties, so players can rest assured."
"Novice Village Quest Announced: There is a highly experienced person among you. Players are requested to communicate, inquire, and explore. Finding their existence will allow you to clear the dungeon. Limited to one Ning and one Xiao Ning."
“Ding Dong Ding——”
"Friendly reminder: Please do not try to open the door and leave the car. Forcibly getting off the car to escape the copy will be punished."
After that, it became quiet again.
really.
This report was full of information. It not only explained the environment they were in and gave them ways to leave, but also issued the task and gave them peace of mind.
But - why is the novice mission limited to Ning Yi Xiaoning?
Even if the broadcast clearly stated that there would be no elimination or casualties, what if they still didn't find the experienced person hidden among them after a small period of time? What would their fate be when the next period came?
No one knows the answer, but no one dares to take the risk.
The sound of the broadcast caught everyone's attention, including the middle-aged woman who had become depressed after her previous madness.
When she heard the broadcast, she raised her head in a daze.
After a brief silence, the female college student spoke first: "In other words, there is an undercover agent among us?"
With these words, the atmosphere suddenly changed;
Everyone immediately began to look at each other mercilessly, and the little trust and affection that had just been established was directly shattered. The distance between everyone became distant, isolated and vigilant again.
Xia Yingnuan's eyes passed between them, but she couldn't tell anything from their expressions alone.
Their expressions were frozen with excessive tension, and Xia Yingnuan thought this wasn't a good direction. Excessive emotions could only lead to a breakdown in thinking.
Xia Yingnuan then said, "It may not be an undercover agent. The broadcast just said that the person hiding among us is someone who has experienced a lot. So, it may just be... a game."
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately attacked: "What are you talking about? In such a horror game world, you actually think this is just a simple game? I think you are a very suspicious person."
"And after all, all of this was caused by you taking the lead, and you were so calm. All of us were panicking because we suddenly came to this new environment, but you were the calmest. So it seems that you are the one with experience!"
The young man seemed to think this made sense, and immediately said, "I want to vote for her!"
Xia Yingnuan:......
She exhaled, and instead of rushing to defend herself, she glanced at the young man, "Are you sure you want to vote for me? Just for this reason?"
The young man said, "Why, are you scared? I just thought it must be you."
Xia Yingnuan nodded gently, "You can vote for me, I have no objection, but if you vote for the wrong person, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."
Although she was scaring the young man like this, there was still one thing Xia Yingnuan was still unsure about: would the final result of the vote be determined based on the overall result or the individual vote?
The broadcast didn’t say it explicitly, so we have to be careful.
Although Xia Yingnuan said this, she was also certain that the young man would calm down temporarily because of her words.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the young man hesitated.
The female office worker said, "Just based on her calm attitude, can we conclude that she is an experienced person?
You're being a bit too arbitrary. Do you think someone with experience would expose themselves so easily? It's precisely because they're experienced that they have the experience to disguise themselves.
"In other words, in an environment like ours, is it better to hide yourself by appearing calm and rational, or by appearing timid and fearful?"
After hearing what she said, the expression on the young man's face began to waver, and it was obvious that he was convinced.
Female office worker: "Besides, I actually think she's doing a good thing. If it weren't for her analysis just now, we might not know how to get off the bus until we die. Now that we have the broadcast and the mission, isn't that a good thing?"
The young man felt embarrassed after being rebuked by the female white-collar worker, and turned his head away mumbling.
Xia Yingnuan was first suspected by one person and then "protected" by another person. The extreme contrast between the before and after did not make her have a good impression of female white-collar workers, nor did she let down her guard.
The female white-collar worker was right in one point of her analysis: it is indeed easier for experienced people to hide if they disguise themselves as novices.
only……
Xia Yingnuan frowned slightly, feeling that there was something she had overlooked, and that overlooked point was crucial.
The middle-aged woman from Ning Hou had already figured out the situation. "So, if we find that experienced person, we can leave, right? We can leave now, right?"
The female college student said, "It's likely that we can't leave... We've already reached the infinite world, is there any way to leave?"
As she spoke, there was some sadness and fear in her expression.
The female college student usually reads a lot of infinite flow novels. She even loves this type of novels very much and often searches for them accurately to read.
When she is a viewer and reader, she can look forward to the further difficulties and horrors of the plot without restraint, can evaluate the protagonist's IQ and behavior without restraint, and stand in the God's perspective without any danger to participate in this infinite game.
But now that she herself has been chosen...
She really couldn't keep calm anymore.
The female college student even wanted to cry. She didn’t know why she had fallen to this point. Why was it like this? Why was she chosen? What did she do wrong?
She really didn't know that just clicking on the app would drag her in.
If she could, she would rather chop off her hand than click in.
The female college student has watched a lot of infinite flow, so she could probably guess that there was only one way to get out of the world of infinite flow, which was to go against the so-called main god space. If they destroyed the main god space, they would be free.
But... could she really do it?
The female college student's answer without hesitation left the middle-aged woman stunned. She was unwilling to accept this fact.
"How is it possible that I can't get out?" Her expression became dejected. "It's impossible that I can't get out. I can't do this... My son is still waiting for me outside."
"If we complete the mission it issued, we'll definitely be able to get out, right? For sure, right?"
As she repeated these words, the middle-aged woman seemed to regain her strength.
Her eyes fell on the female college student, and then pointed at her, "It's you, it must be you!"
The female college student was stunned, then yelled, "Are you crazy?"
The middle-aged woman pointed at her without hesitation, "It has to be you! You're the undercover! You're the one who understands the Infinite Stream so well, and you're the one who told us about it so confidently that you couldn't live without it. You're the undercover!"
As she said that, she was about to rush forward and pull the female college student.
The female college student screamed and stepped back subconsciously, "What the hell! Are you crazy?"
Ning, the bald man standing next to her, reacted and subconsciously stopped the middle-aged woman. Xia Yingnuan also took a step forward, glanced around, grabbed the female college student's wrist, and then stood in front of her.
She seemed to be protecting the other person, but in fact she was observing her reactions, expressions and movements more closely.
If you are an experienced person, then who knows what you might reveal when facing such a situation?
However, to Xia Yingnuan's disappointment, all the expressions of the female college student were extremely real, without any possibility of acting.
Because the middle-aged woman was stopped by the bald man, the target of the concentrated fire changed again.
"Why are you stopping me? You're also an undercover agent, right? Okay, you're both undercover agents. You're both covering for each other!"
The bald man was so annoyed that he finally couldn't help but push her to the ground.
"What the hell are you doing here?! Didn't I tell you to answer the questions properly and handle the situation calmly? Will you solve the problem by going crazy? Will you find the undercover agent? Just because you say this girl is an undercover agent, does that mean she must be? If we find the wrong person, will you be held responsible?"
He was probably extremely angry, and the veins on the bald man's neck were exposed because of his roar.
"You want to go out? Go ahead. The car door is right there. Go ahead! Go ahead!"
The middle-aged woman was shocked by the roar and stood there in a daze, and nothing happened again.
When the bald man saw that she stopped talking, he let out a breath and touched his bald head.
Xia Yingnuan said, "Let's review this now."
"I'm glad you're okay." Zhuang Meng looked at the puppet hanging around Ning Hanqi's neck. She knew Miss Xia must be watching her, so she said in a teasing tone, "It's a good thing Miss Xia is okay, otherwise we would have to face the terrifying Miss Ning."
Who could have imagined such a gentle person could be so terrifying when angry? Her aura inexplicably made Zhuang Meng imagine some terrifying ghosts, and the shadow in Haitu's heart directly erupted.
The puppet's eyes glowed red, and Zhuang Meng heard Xia Yingnuan ask, "What happened last night?"
"You don't know, Miss Ning was extremely aggressive in the bar last night and scared the tour guide, so we had to let you go back early..." Zhuang Meng stopped talking halfway because Ning Hanqi glanced at her indifferently.
Ever since seeing Ning Hanqi who scared the tour guide away last night, Zhuang Meng no longer thinks that she is a gentle beauty!
"What I mean is... be careful that the tour guide doesn't cause trouble for Miss Ning today."
