Chapter 112 Sea Amusement Park (Twenty-one)
Although the guide wanted to rip off this human skin and transform into a monster to strangle this fragile human's neck, unfortunately, according to the rules, it couldn't attack the human player directly. It had to abide by that damn professional ethics! And...it wasn't sure it could defeat the ghost next to the human woman.
Thinking of this, the tour guide had to readjust the skin on his face and put on a professional smile.
The circus tigers were quite strong, and even I couldn't guarantee that I could kill them silently, not to mention that the clowns were right next to them.
No wonder, if he didn't have such strength, how could his eyes be destroyed?
The tour guide had been covering his eyes and there was a strange "gurgling" sound under his hands. That was because the human skin was growing flesh and blood again and has now recovered.
The second third arrives in a flash.
Just like a minute spent on the computer is always much shorter than a minute spent waiting outside the toilet, they were so tense that they didn't really notice the loss of time. Before they knew it, they had reached another critical moment.
Even if they don't want Ningjian to pass, Ningjian is ruthless.
At this moment, the forty-minute quiet time has arrived.
Lin Hui looked up and caught a glimpse of Ji Ning in front of him, his face pale.
"It's coming... again."
As she finished speaking, the long-lost and familiar broadcast voice appeared again.
“Ding Dong Ding——”
"Ningjian is here for you."
"You have already spent forty minutes. Please take some time."
The announcement was exactly the same as before, but perhaps because they had experienced what had happened before, when they heard the broadcast now, they felt that its flat electronic sound was mixed with a sinister feeling.
It was as if he was holding a death warrant.
As the broadcast ended, the rustling noise outside the car began to sound again. It was stronger and closer than last time, as if it was passing through their ears and brains, making people feel cold all over.
The young man could no longer bear it and no longer cared about his image.
"What the hell is going on?! Are we going to get eaten by bugs in the Novice Village?
I beg you, no matter who is experienced, please stand up, I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to be bitten to death by insects, I really don’t want to——!”
He was so anxious that he was spinning in circles and even didn't know where to go.
The young man was already in tears, but no one paid attention to his expression, and no one scolded him for his misconduct, because everyone else was already as terrified as he was.
Xia Yingnuan was not that worried because she was mentally prepared and she had already figured out some clues and key points.
Lin Hui was standing next to Xia Yingnuan. She was trembling slightly with panic and subconsciously moved closer to Xia Yingnuan.
Xia Yingnuan glanced at her sideways and didn't say much, just silently letting her come closer.
At this moment the whole situation has become a mess.
Xia Yingnuan was surrounded by panic and screams, and it was a mess, as if the end of the world had come.
No, the current scene is even more terrifying than the end of the world.
She was in the center of the panic, but her expression didn't change at all.
Xia Yingnuan lowered her eyes calmly, her expression indifferent, her jaw thin and cold, her thin lips gently pursed, as if she remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her.
The shaking of the car was more violent than before. There was not only a sticky crawling sound outside the car, but more of a sound of things hitting the window glass.
It wasn't just the feeling of a heavy limb colliding with me, it was also the feeling of my teeth...
Or the sound of some kind of mouthparts colliding, making a creepy, sharp sound that makes people shiver.
"What should I do, wuwu...what should I do?" The female student knelt on the ground and hugged herself in fear.
Xia Yingnuan took a step forward and was about to move forward, but was suddenly grabbed by the hand.
She turned her head and saw Lin Hui's worried eyes, "W-what are you going to do?"
Xia Yingnuan didn't know whether she was worried about her doing something wrong or worried about her own safety, but because she had a good impression of Lin Hui, she gave her an answer without hesitation.
"I've got the answer."
Lin Hui is the calmest one among the others. Even in such a critical situation, she is still able to keep thinking.
After hearing Xia Yingnuan's answer, her eyes suddenly lit up and she grabbed Xia Yingnuan a little harder.
"Do you know the answer? Do you know who the undercover is?!"
Xia Yingnuan nodded.
Lin Hui asked again: "Who is it?"
Xia Yingnuan turned around and looked ahead. "It's him."
Lin Hui frowned slightly and looked in the direction Xia Yingnuan was looking.
In the middle of the chaotic carriage was their group of players, and at the front was the driver who remained unmoved from beginning to end, indifferently carrying out his mission and concentrating on driving.
He is not a player, and it is not even known whether he is an NPC. In short, he is a person with a different identity from them.
The players speculated and suspected each other, but no one ever thought of the driver.
Lin Hui's lips moved, "Are you kidding? You said he was an undercover agent? Didn't the broadcast say that the undercover agent is among us?"
Xia Yingnuan nodded and asked her again, "So you think that since we're all on the bus, the driver doesn't count as 'us'?"
Lin Hui was stunned, her expression blank for a moment. "I..."
She subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she paused before the words came out of her mouth because she suddenly realized that what Xia Yingnuan said seemed to be right.
Yes, the passengers are the people on the bus, but isn’t the driver also?
The broadcast said that there was an undercover agent hiding "among you".
Xia Yingnuan hadn't thought of this at first, because she, like everyone else, subconsciously ignored the driver and thought that the so-called experienced person was among the six of them.
But in fact, the broadcast did not clearly state this point, and all the "conditions" were formulated and restricted by their assumptions.
The broadcast only said "There is an experienced person among you", and this "you" naturally included the driver.
The reason why they subconsciously limit themselves to players is related to the latter sentence.
"Players, please communicate and find out his existence."
The two sentences are separate and there is no connection between them. The subject of a sentence only limits this sentence, but they created ambiguity and defined the subjects of both sentences as players.
Fell into a language trap.
Xia Yingnuan had always thought that she had overlooked something, which was the driver.
She was still trapped in the language trap until the young man's words woke her up.
He said, "Watching from a high position."
This made Xia Yingnuan realize that it wasn't just the six of them playing the game, there was also a driver watching.
He said nothing, watched indifferently, and was unmoved.
He is also one of "you".
As for those who are experienced, none of the six of them are actually experienced.
Because the information they exchanged with each other was enough to prove that they were indeed newcomers who had just woken up on the bus and were selected, and none of them were veterans.
But the drivers are different.
As a driver in the "Newbie Village", who could be more experienced than him?
Since the bus exists as a novice copy, it is not necessarily disposable and is likely to be recycled, because this novice copy is also like a novice guide and a novice village.
It is impossible to rebuild a novice village every time a new person comes. It is possible but not necessary.
Therefore, it is obvious who the experienced ones are among them.
It doesn't necessarily mean that they are the only "passengers" being pulled in. There must be a constant stream of new people being pulled in before and after them.
As the "helmsman" of the Novice Village, the driver pulls a car full of newcomers through the Novice Village. He has seen a lot and knows a lot. Only he is the one who deserves the title and has experienced a lot.
He is like a ferryman, pulling wave after wave of newcomers "across the river".
However, some of the newlyweds successfully crossed the river, while others capsized and died in the river.
Thinking of this, Xia Yingnuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
She may not be 100% sure about her guess, but at the moment, this is the only choice that looks most like the correct answer, so she will not regret it.
The bald Ning heard the conversation between Xia Yingnuan and Lin Hui and asked loudly, "Did you guess who the undercover is?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the others stopped screaming in panic and looked towards Xia Yingnuan.
There was doubt in their eyes, but also hope for peace in desperate situations.
The female student stood up suddenly. Although her legs were a little weak because of fear, she still managed to hold herself together.
"Really? Did you really find it? Are you sure it's the correct answer?"
She looked at Xia Yingnuan with tears in her eyes, as if as long as Xia Yingnuan nodded affirmatively, she would regard Xia Yingnuan as her savior.
Although Xia Yingnuan didn't really want to be the savior, this mission could be considered a group mission after all, and there was no need for her to hide it, so Xia Yingnuan nodded.
Seeing Xia Yingnuan's affirmation, everyone else's faces lit up.
"Really? Who is it?"
Xia Yingnuan expressed her guess.
Originally, everyone subconsciously wanted to refute, but with Xia Yingnuan's analysis, they gradually quieted down, and even ignored the noise from the outside world, and just listened to Xia Yingnuan's speech carefully.
When Xia Yingnuan finished speaking, they were completely convinced.
"Looking at it this way, it's indeed the case..."
"Yeah, that seems to be the case! Why didn't I think of that?"
"This, you are really amazing, you can actually think of this level."
Xia Yingnuan nodded, "So, I want to go and take a look."
Although they stayed on the bus for a long time, no one thought of talking to or looking at the driver.
One is that they don’t dare, and the other is that they subconsciously assume that the driver does not participate in this game.
The young man's expression changed. "Why are we looking for him? Can't we just vote directly?"
Xia Yingnuan said, "I want to confirm it one last time."
Young man: "Then you... go by yourself."
Xia Yingnuan didn't originally want to drag him along; she originally wanted to go there alone.
When Lin Hui heard his words, she became angry and took Xia Yingnuan's hand without saying a word, then said, "I'll go with you!"
After saying that, she glared at the young man to show her indignation.
The young man shrank his neck, but didn't say anything else.
Xia Yingnuan lowered her eyes and glanced at the hands of the two people. She felt a little uncomfortable, but did not refuse.
She wasn't one for adventure, so it didn't matter to her if someone came with her.
The two walked to the front row.
The driver was sitting in the driving seat, wearing a large hat that pressed down so deeply on his head that his face couldn't be seen.
He was wearing dark work clothes that looked a bit bulky and tightly wrapped around his neck, wrists and ankles.
The whole person seemed to exude a gloomy and damp aura.
Seeing this, Lin Hui couldn't help but squeeze Xia Yingnuan's hand. Her lips moved slightly as she whispered, "This driver doesn't look a little strange."
Xia Yingnuan naturally felt the same way.
This state doesn't seem like that of a normal person, but - is it understandable?
After all, you are driving in such an environment. A normal person may not be able to do it.
But whether the driver is normal or not has nothing to do with them, and Xia Yingnuan’s task is not to care about this.
Xia Yingnuan said, "Hello."
The driver ignored it.
Xia Yingnuan said bluntly: "The experienced person hiding among us is you, right?"
This time the driver reacted. He slowly raised his head and looked over, revealing his face hidden under the brim of his hat.
Lin Hui suppressed a scream in her throat and subconsciously pulled Xia Yingnuan back.
"Whether it's resurrection or a substitute, the cost of using this kind of props should be quite high." Ning Hanqi suppressed the excitement of a certain young lady.
"Of course it's not small. He got his stand item from Scarecrow. The price of using this item is that regardless of whether he successfully escapes the game or not, his soul will belong to Scarecrow after his death."
Ning Hanqi didn't have a deep understanding of the various copies, but Gao Yu had been studying it for more than a year. She had also heard of the Scarecrow copy. The Scarecrow filled its body with souls, and falling into its hands was equivalent to endless torture.
"Forget it. If I die at the scarecrow's place, maybe it would be better to die here." Gao Yu sighed. No wonder the man still looked so bad even though he survived.
