Chapter 62
The players looked at the gloomy expression of the yellow duck doll, and when they turned around, they found that the expressions of the cute plush dolls around them were also gradually becoming weird.
After seven days in the toy city, the system prompt sounded:
[The Toy City Battle Royale officially begins! Players are requested to escape from the toy town before dawn and take the train to the central city! 】
Players who received this system notification were stunned!
After all this trouble, it turns out that the real copy content will only begin when the toy doll display conference ends on the seventh day!
Then what does it mean that they worked hard and spent all their points in the first seven days?
"Why is this crappy copy so bad?"
"No wonder Wen Xingxue didn't take this competition seriously at the beginning!"
"Ahhh, I worked hard to save up points for several years! I spent more than half of them just for this competition!"
"You've only spent half? I've almost spent it all!"
The players were indignant and felt resentful when looking at these dolls with weird faces.
"Don't say anything now, let's run! They are just a bunch of D-level and C-level monsters. We can get out if we are careful."
In this B-level copy, players have already stepped on the biggest pitfall with tears in their eyes.
Most of the dolls are of average strength, and if the escape game is taken out alone, it would be a C-level copy at best.
No wonder before entering the dungeon, most players said that the clearance rate of this dungeon was higher, but the dungeon level was ranked B.
The players turned around frustratedly and ran towards the gate of the toy town according to their abilities.
Behind them was a series of teddy bears, ducks, white geese, etc., with red eyes and ferocious looks following them closely.
In the chaos, no one noticed that Wen Xingxue disappeared.
When he appeared again, it was at the entrance of the toy factory.
Because a toy doll exhibition is being held today, the brown bear security guards at the processing plant have been assigned to maintain order at the competition.
At this time, the brown bear security guards should have started chasing after several humans.
Wen Xingxue stood at the door of the processing plant and reached out to touch the clown doll in his pocket which had started to sleep again.
Instead of waking up the clown doll, he slipped into the factory alone.
There was not a single doll in the empty factory. The roar of the machines had disappeared and everything was so quiet that it was frightening.
Wen Xingxue walked down the stairs. The clatter of her footsteps echoed in the corridor, waking up Xingnuo who was sleeping.
Xingnuo began to sleep before the game was over. He yawned and patted his ugly face with his little round hands, trying to wake up.
His hairy little head poked out of his pocket, looked around, tilted his head back and asked:
"Brother, is the game over? Where are we going?"
Unconsciously, Xingnuo has become very dependent on this big brother who gives him a sense of security.
However, once he comes out of this strange doll town, Xingnuo will still leave and embark on a journey to find his father.
He will not be a doll forever, Xingnuo thought.
Wen Xingxue didn't lower her head. She just stretched out a finger and, without even looking, accurately poked the little doll's head that was sticking out.
"Hide inside and don't fall out."
Wen Xingxue has said this sentence countless times since she picked up the clown doll.
Every time, Xingnuo would obey obediently, let out an "oh", and shrink his little head inside.
This time was no exception. Xingnuo retracted his head, scratched the edge of his pocket with his hands, and asked again:
"Big brother, aren't we going back to the mushroom hut?"
After living in the mushroom hut for a few days, Xingnuo has already regarded it as a temporary home.
Wen Xingxue did not stop and walked all the way to the basement of the processing plant.
He was silent for a while, then shook his head and said:
"No, I won't be back anymore."
Xingnuo scratched his face in confusion, yawned lightly, and continued to ask like a curious baby:
"So where are we going?"
Wen Xingxue stopped in front of a door and paused. Instead of answering the question, she looked down at the clown doll.
"Where do you want to go, clown doll?"
Xingnuo held up his little face and answered naturally:
"Go home, find dad and brother, go home, little cloud bread~"
There was no expression on Wen Xingxue's cold and pale face, and even his gloomy eyes always had a sense of cruelty.
But at this moment, he smiled and asked a question he had always wanted to know:
"How about changing the option and accompanying me to experience a different world?"
Wen Xingxue walked alone for a long time, escaping and breaking through levels to become stronger. Apart from the goal of killing Chen Wen in his heart, he did not have much meaning to live.
But this clown doll is different. It makes Wen Xingxue feel a different kind of warmth for the first time.
He is ugly and seems to have nothing special except that he is a little optimistic.
But Wen Xingxue just thinks that the clown doll is great.
It was like the cub he had given birth to. Wen Xingxue himself found it incredible that he had tolerated all of its shortcomings.
Wen Xingxue thought that if this little guy was with her on future journeys, she would not be so lonely.
Wen Xingxue lowered his head, watching the clown doll resting its chin in deep thought, and did not urge him.
Xingnuo thought for a long time, raised his little head and shook it gently.
"No, big brother. I miss my dad and brother. They will get anxious waiting for me."
Wen Xingxue was silent for a moment, then smiled again.
"Oh well."
Pushing open the only door in the factory basement, Wen Xingxue put the clown doll into his pocket.
"Hide for a moment. I'm going to look for something."
Xingnuo hid in his pocket, feeling an irrepressible surge of sleepiness. He tried to pat his face to keep himself awake, but in a daze, he seemed to have fallen asleep.
When Xingnuo woke up again, before he had time to ask Wen Xingxue if he could come out, he seemed to sense something and hurriedly stuck his head out.
What caught Xingnuo's eyes was a beautiful large glass with a sparkling gem floating in the air.
All the light in the basement seemed to be gathered on this gem. It was oval in shape, and seemed to have life, beating gently.
Xingnuo opened his mouth in shock, his little face illuminated by the light so brightly that for a moment he didn't seem so ugly anymore.
Turning his head, Xingnuo poked Wen Xingxue, who was staring at the gem, and whispered:
"Big brother, is this Sen?"
Wen Xingxue seemed a little embarrassed, with a knife in his hand and a tear in the clothes on his arm.
But he didn't seem to care at all. He stared at the gem and replied:
"It's 'Toy Heart'."
It is the original creation of the toy town. The vitality of the toys comes from it. After humans become rag dolls, the vitality also flows into it.
Players who failed to clear the dungeon were turned into rag dolls, but there was actually no way for them to turn back into humans.
Their consciousness and thinking will gradually become blurred, they will become more and more sleepy, and in their dreams, they will gradually forget everything that happened before.
Eventually, they become a real rag doll.
When a person becomes a stiff, motionless, and unconscious doll, his or her vitality will completely disappear and be completely sucked away by this "toy heart."
And among the dolls in the toy town, there will be one more doll with consciousness and thinking.
In this way, the Doll Heart maintains and expands the life of the Doll Town.
"Your life is being sucked away by it bit by bit."
Wen Xingxue lowered his head, glanced at the sleepy clown doll with a sleepy face, and picked up the knife.
"Clown doll, I still don't know your name."
Wen Xingxue said as he chopped down with a sharp knife.
The glass windows shattered, and countless glass windows reflected brilliant light, making the entire basement room sparkle.
The glass fragments fell to the ground with a clatter, and the refracted light shone into Wen Xingxue's dark eyes.
Wen Xingxue had several small cuts on his body caused by glass. He walked in with a knife in hand, and at the moment he touched the toy's heart, he asked again:
"May I have your name?"
Maybe they will meet again in the future.
Xingnuo was amazed by the rain of glass all over the sky. He came back to his senses and replied a little slowly:
"My name is Xingnuo, big brother, what's your name?!"
Wen Xingxue's eyes seemed to be filled with surprise, and she was stunned for a moment, but soon she pursed her lips and smiled.
"Xingnuo, no wonder."
Wen Xingxue didn't stop, he raised his knife, and chopped at the toy heart with a bunch of strange stuffed bears behind him trying to stop him.
The SSS+ grade knife was facing the Doll's Heart that was about to gather power to become a higher level. Although it was not as smooth as chopping the dolls, the feeling of blockage only lasted for a moment, and it successfully split the Doll's Heart in half.
After the doll's heart cracked, the light suddenly became bright.
Xingnuo's eyesight improved several levels after he became a rag doll, but at this moment he was stabbed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.
He quickly raised his hands and covered his little eyes.
The dolls behind him with bared teeth and red eyes all stopped under the shining light.
The dolls fell down one by one, and the light called vitality on their bodies dimmed in an instant and dissipated into the air.
After all the dolls in the toy town fell down, the Doll's Heart turned into an ordinary oval stone with a dark gray color.
The doll's heart, which doesn't glow, looks bumpy and ugly.
Wen Xingxue walked forward, picked up the doll's heart which looked no different from an ordinary stone, and put it into his own space.
At this time, Wen Xingxue's pockets were empty.
***
Central City.
In the square, a system notification came:
[In the Toy Town dungeon, the core "Toy Heart" was destroyed and the dungeon is permanently closed! 】
[Congratulations to players Chen Ke, Bai Luo... Wen Xingxue for completing the dungeon! 】
As the system announcement sounded, countless players looked up at the rankings on the big screen.
"As expected of a big boss! Not only did he clear the dungeon, he also destroyed the core!"
"I should have chosen this dungeon earlier! Wouldn't it be easy to clear it without any hassle?!"
Amid the noise of the players, in an alley a few streets away, the green-headed doll that had never been sold suddenly woke up from its sleep.
He was now standing outside the glass cabinet, looking at his human hands and feet, staring with tears streaming down his face.
It's back!
It turns out that the only way to change it back is to destroy the toy's heart!
After hearing the notification, the green-headed doll wiped his tears, whimpered twice, and looked at the clown doll Xingyuan next door.
"You've changed back too?! Didn't you escape on your own? That's weird, is your name Xingyuan or Xingnuo?"
Xingyuan looked at his hands, a twist flashed across his gloomy face. Just as he was about to say something, he felt a pain in his neck.
Lying on the ground with his eyes open, Xingyuan's eyes were full of reluctance.
