Chapter 28 Un Entertainment "Honey~ He might be dead here~"...
"Good afternoon, everyone. The topic of the second half of our lesson is 'Secrets'..."
"Please, keep your secret."
Despite the changes in the curriculum, the options that pop up in the system remain unchanged for Nan Ke.
[An anomaly was detected in the artist's login location. Currently, the available artist mazes are:]
This means that he can only enter the secret Roue mentioned by escaping the maze, though in his view there is no difference.
Suddenly, something occurred to me: "If I go into the maze of other artists, can I come back?"
He asked his trial assistant, though he wasn't particularly keen on returning, but just to be on the safe side, he asked again.
"I don't know, honey, maybe you'll die in there, hehe," which means you can come back.
The boy was already used to its extremely malicious attitude, rolled his eyes, and looked down at the options provided by the system.
Because of Hu Xiaofeng's coincidence, he began to carefully filter through each name, which was unusual for him.
There were twenty people in each row, roughly ten rows in total. Hu Xiaofeng was the fifteenth in the third row, and so on...
Hu Jin! Hu Yuan! And those two security guards he asked for at noon are also there!
Does this mean that they were also entertainers before they became security guards?
However, when he asked the two men what they did before at noon, neither of them mentioned it.
Suddenly, the boy's pupils dilated slightly, and he saw a name he didn't recognize.
However, when he encountered a figure from his memory, he was quite surprised. He switched back to the chat window with Jiang Yang, but the difference in their dimensions prevented him from contacting Jiang Yang directly for the time being.
After thinking about it, I decided to redeem a Class A auxiliary communication device in the store.
[Player Nan Ke was detected using the item "Auxiliary Communication"]
A chat window has been created for you to chat with player Jiang Yang.
[Due to restrictions imposed by Un Entertainment Trial, this communication will last for 5 minutes.]
Five minutes is not a short time, which shows that there is a difference between his position and Jiang Yang's position, but not a big one.
He had encountered this once before, and that time he could only use it for one minute, which made him break down and just want to curse.
As the countdown began, he typed three words into the panel and sent them to Jiang Yang.
"Li Tangyi".
Nan Ke and Jiang Yang were not familiar with this name, but they had just had a fight with him that morning.
After the man was taken away by security guards at Roue's behest, Jiang Yang wondered why there were still 160 people even though one person was missing. So Nan Ke kept an eye on it and asked around.
Someone who didn't even participate in the assessment became an option in the artist's maze.
Nan Ke sneered; he wanted to see what was really going on here!
For some reason, the message sent to Jiang Yang appeared with a red exclamation mark after it circulated several times.
Initially thinking it was a content violation, but the same thing happened after resending it, Nan Ke finally couldn't resist the urge to curse.
Having no other option, I asked my assistant again, "What's going on?"
"Honey~ He might have died here~"
Nan Ke was exasperated, barely suppressing his anger, "I'll give you one more chance, talk it out properly."
The boy pointed to his wrist in mid-air and a white line emerged from his sleeve, as if breaking through some kind of barrier. The white line climbed up his fingers to the panel that only he could see.
A crack instantly appeared where the white line had crawled, and the panel flickered with what appeared to be an unstable white light.
The assistant shouted anxiously, "You're making things difficult for me! It shows he's lost connection to the system! He's dead!"
"Help me contact Ji Yang," Nan Ke said with a gloomy face.
The assistant tried to explain, "You're not in a team, so you can't send messages, dear."
"Use the auxiliary communication device I just bought? Hmm?"
The purchase reset time for the auxiliary communication is 48 hours. If Nan Ke can buy a second one now, he will directly take action against the dead assistant.
The trial assistant resigned himself to his fate and quickly modified the usage status of the auxiliary communication device purchased by Nan Ke in the background.
A chat window has been created for you to chat with player Ji Yang.
[Due to restrictions imposed by Un Entertainment Trial, this communication will last for 1 minute.]
"Why is it only one minute?!"
"This isn't my problem, but I'm not entirely sure either..."
Sensing his assistant's confusion, Nan Ke realized that the problem probably lay with the cage.
Without further hesitation, he withdrew the white line. The flickering on the panel gradually stopped, leaving a crooked crack that silently demonstrated Nan Ke's attitude.
"Pay for the repairs yourself," Nan Ke added. The assistant quickly nodded and slunk off the computer.
Nan Ke didn't have much to say to Ji Yang, only saying, "Come to my cage, quickly."
Jiang Yang, who was declared dead by Nan Ke's trial assistant, is now curled up in the box. As far as A Zi is concerned, he is indeed disconnected from the system.
The pain from the moment the soul lock ensnared my heart five minutes ago still lingers in my mind.
When he suggested using this skill, Huang Er earnestly tried to dissuade him, but unfortunately...
Fortunately, after he pulled on the white line, he quickly received a response from the other end, followed by a message from Meng Jiang saying that they were on their way, but he didn't know how far away they were.
About five minutes later, the lid suddenly disappeared, and the box exploded open in all directions, revealing a slightly bewildered young man inside.
If you look around and don't see anyone else, then there's only one possibility.
Someone opened the empty box, and he... became the ghost that was randomly released.
This situation is not good for them.
[Player Azi has returned as a ghost animal]
[Mission issued: Ghost, please bind to a player as soon as possible. After binding to the first player, a 30-minute countdown will begin. Before the countdown ends, Ghost and player must work together to eliminate two animals/one hunter.]
[Elimination Conditions: Eliminating an animal requires the player to feed the ghost with 25% of their health points; eliminating a hunter requires the player to feed the ghost with 30% of their health points. The player must know the hunter's identity before eliminating them; otherwise, the player's health points will not be refunded if the elimination fails. Eliminations using animal identity cards do not consume health points.]
[Note: The ghost is released immediately after the player opens the box. The ghost can refuse to cooperate with the player, and will only be able to re-bind and cooperate after 30 minutes.]
[At the end of the course, the player who eliminates the top three ghosts in total number of animals/hunters will be eligible to revive.]
Jiang Yang remained frozen, her fingers hovering over the panel, a clear sense of helplessness flashing in her timid eyes.
The rules of the ghosts will inevitably disrupt the balance of trust in the forest, so a smooth ending is probably...
The young man's eyes gradually hardened, as if he had made up his mind.
Jiang Yang turned his gaze away from the panel and walked along the wire suspended in mid-air to the other end.
He had walked less than a hundred meters when he passed a huge box. Suddenly, he discovered that, in addition to the one that had pierced his chest, there was another line that had pierced straight into the box next to him from the direction in front of him.
There was a "Open Box" label on the box. Jiang Yang's eyes rolled around twice, and his right hand tentatively reached up to it before he slammed it back to his side.
Hmm... actually, the rules didn't say that ghosts can't open boxes, did they...?
Furthermore, judging from the rules, the more ghosts you bind, the greater the power you gain, so perhaps...
The young man looked conflicted. He put his hand down again, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and forcefully peeled off the label.
The box popped open, and he was caught off guard, dodging to the side until all the dust that had been kicked up dispersed.
The box in front of me is empty!
Jiang Yang hurriedly tiptoed and looked around the forest in all directions.
Eleven ghosts, four empty boxes, and a total of fifteen bundles of smoke.
He extinguished two beams at first, and when he came out of the box later, there were 8 beams left on the field.
So, this box, which appears to be empty on the surface, must contain a ghost...
Could it be that the ghosts have activated it?
The young man rubbed his chin and circled the box again, the white thread extending into the box still hanging in mid-air.
Jiang Yang gestured from outside, indicating that the position should be higher than the one tied to her body.
Just as he was puzzled, the white line broke in the center of the box and floated lightly to the ground.
Behind her, she heard the sound of several people walking fast. Jiang Yang turned around and saw Meng Jiang carrying "Jiang Yang" on his back. Huang Erbai stared wide-eyed at the broken line on the ground, and when he pointed at "Azi", he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Azi" pursed his lips, smiled obediently, and finally, under Huang Er's indignant gaze, lowered his head as if realizing the problem.
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Jiang Yang's Perspective]
"Something's not right, I really feel something's not right."
"So what exactly happened? Maybe we should go check with Huang Er!"
"Don't go. I just came back and almost threw up from running around like that. The problem is, they don't understand it either."
Some observers feel that a first-person perspective makes them more immersed, but it is often too immersive.
Finally, Huang Er's trembling hand fell suddenly, and when he shouted at Jiang Yang, his voice even trembled with tears, "Do you know how long I was in pain just now!"
It turns out that when Jiang Yang came out of the box, the awakening of his ghost identity dealt Huang Er a heavy blow in his counterattack.
However, Jiang Yang didn't think that this alone could have affected Huang Er so badly. With her head lowered, she glanced at the open box to the side and silently added a question mark to her mind.
Meng Jiang put "Jiang Yang" down against the tree, turned to look at "A Zi", and asked, "Can you explain now?"
Having already obtained the information, Jiang Yang stopped lingering in Azi's perspective and pressed the button to end the substitution early.
This time, since the difference in the replacement was not significant, Jiang Yang did not feel any discomfort. Azi also returned to his original timid and submissive demeanor, and his eyes lit up when he faced Meng Jiang.
"Mengge! It seems someone just opened an empty box, so I opened this one. I didn't expect you to find me so quickly!"
Meng Jiang glanced at Jiang Yang, who was also curious about Azi's changed state, which gave him a more intuitive understanding of his own talent.
Azi explained the rules of the ghosts, and now they face new problems.
"So, who will be responsible for the binding?"
