Chapter 40 Un Entertainment He suddenly realized, even though he and Huang Er had already...
Finding Tian Yu in the dark was not difficult for Nan Ke and Huang Er.
The problem is that the stage is now in complete chaos, with screams rang out every now and then, accompanied by gasps from those around them.
No one knows what is hidden in the darkness.
Talent can help them identify their goals, but it cannot prevent them from avoiding risks.
When Huang Er sensed danger again and pulled Nan Ke back, the two had to stop.
"What happened?" Huang Er asked.
Nan Ke was still a little shaken. "I think I just...walked to the edge of the stage..."
"Did they disappear because they fell?"
Nan Ke didn't speak. The white line in his hand pointed exactly to the spot where he had just missed his step. "The stars don't lie."
This means that Tian Yu was indeed offstage.
So... how should we actually proceed?
Nan Ke dislikes using his brain, which is why he asks Xie Lu or Jiang Yang to accompany him.
...
"Tell me, if it were Jiang Yang, how would he leave?" Nan Ke suddenly asked Huang Er.
It seemed they were nearing the edge of the stage; even now, face to face, they could barely see each other.
Huang Er didn't know which way Jiang Yang would go, but he might know which way Ji Yang would go.
Before they parted, Ji Yang told him, "Nan Ke has my cards in his hand."
At this moment, the metal card held in Nan Ke's hand reflected a beam of light. Huang Er stared at it for a while, then dripped a drop of smoke onto it, instantly igniting a ball of flame.
The fact that they couldn't find a road with even smoke and stars only proves that everything they faced was completely real.
That's why they need to add a fire to illuminate this real darkness.
The metal plaque melted into the flames and pierced through the darkness, attracting many people who followed the light.
A step appeared before Nan Ke, leading down a flight of stairs. After exchanging glances with Huang Er, the two carefully took their first step.
The stage lights gradually dimmed, and someone rushed over, only to slip and fall into the darkness.
Nan Ke recalled the great fire he encountered in the maze.
Immediately afterwards, a completely new idea popped into my mind.
It goes on and on, in an endless cycle.
There were only four or five steps, and after Nanke landed, the white line's guidance became even clearer.
Huang Er followed behind Nan Ke, and soon his vision also became clear.
Tian Yu was sitting quietly in the first row of the audience.
Nan Ke stepped forward and casually asked, "Aren't you going to class?"
After a long pause, she hesitated and said, "Let's not go yet."
Nan Ke glanced at Huang Er, who was talking as he moved to sit down next to Tian Yu.
Do you remember what happened on the first day?
"Don't sit!" Tian Yu was so agitated that Huang Er jumped up in fright.
Tian Yu grabbed Huang Er's arm, her face contorted with rage, "Did you sit down?"
Huang Er felt a tremendous pulling force on the spot where she pressed down. He tried to twist his wrist to break free, but Tian Yu did not let go.
She only completely relaxed when Huang Er said "no".
"Who told you to sit here?" Nan Ke asked.
Tian Yu looked confused, and Nan Ke continued, "It's Maple, right?"
"I don't remember."
"Then why..." Huang Er paused, "why wouldn't you let me sit?"
“Pain, the resonance tells me, this place is full of pain.”
Nan Ke asked the same question he had at the beginning again, "Aren't you going to class?"
“I can’t go. They were all drawn here by the resonance. I’ve ruined everyone’s lives.”
Tian Yu doesn't remember what happened, but when the scene from her dream reappears before her eyes, a truth she has to face also follows.
Nan Ke walked back to the edge of the stage, where darkness lurked around the edge, like a giant cage.
He suddenly realized that although he and Huang Er had left the stage, they were still trapped in this maze called the stage.
While the wooden figure went back to reset, Jiang Yang, Ji Yang, Xing Ye, and Yue Jiang began to choose new rooms.
The people in the other rooms also came out, standing in twos and threes, whispering to each of the closed doors.
Everyone started changing rooms in this round. Jiang Yang counted briefly and found that there were about 35 people in the corridor now.
The people who died in the two rounds were 901 and 903 respectively. The ward door was wide open, and you could see NPCs standing stiffly inside.
Two other doors were sealed off, which Jiang Yang guessed were the two rooms that couldn't be unlocked.
He couldn't help but have a slight doubt about the mortality rate of the diction classes.
Excluding the two who died at the hands of the wooden figures, only three people were unable to unlock the lock in two rounds.
Overall, this is inconsistent with the dangerous image Un Entertainment initially projected.
The group of people took two steps toward the wooden figure.
Hoshino, who was following behind, suddenly stopped and reached out to open one of the doors.
915
There is only one spot.
"Brother," Hoshino called out to Tsukie unusually, "you stay with the two of them."
Yuejiang nodded, her face expressionless. Hoshino closed the door, and Jiyang stepped across from 915 without hesitation.
In front of 916, Ji Yang raised his hand and stroked the iron doorplate, his fingertips making a harsh sound as they traced the metal.
Then, with a forceful snap, the doorplate was completely torn off. Then, in the same way, they went back to 915 and snapped off the doorplate for 915.
The room numbers were swapped and handed over to Yuejiang and Jiangyang respectively to hang up again.
After doing all this, Ji Yang finally opened the door to 914.
914 just happened to be able to get into the three of them, and at the same time, it also allowed them to keep an eye on the situation on 915.
The wooden figure set off again, but this time there was a series of wooden dragging footsteps in the corridor.
Every half hour, one more wooden figure appears in the corridor.
Jiang Yang peeked outside and saw an NPC who looked like it had come out of the house. It had a small tag on its body that read "9011".
"Has only half an hour passed?" Jiang Yang suddenly turned around.
Ji Yang glanced at the time. "Less than an hour."
Jiang Yang suddenly thought of 9033, wondering if he would make a comeback.
"The first round lasted nineteen minutes, and the second round lasted twenty-six and a half minutes," Yuejiang reported an accurate number.
The young man wrinkled his nose.
If the number of wooden figures increases after each round resets, and the time limit is also added during this phase, they are very likely to face the risk of having two more wooden figures added in the next round.
But... if there are multiple wooden figures present, will the death toll increase?
...
Picking the lock was no problem for the three of them.
When the third round of the wooden man's command was given, 914 peeked through the door.
A door popped open not far away, and 9011 dragged the player back.
The wooden figure walked in the opposite direction to the door of "915" next to 914, and the iron door popped open.
The sound stopped at the word "not allowed" and lingered for a long time.
finally.
As the last "movement" was uttered, the visibility in the corridor instantly dimmed.
A ghostly figure emerged from the door of room "916" behind him. Hoshino closed his eyes and slowly placed his hand on the wooden figure's shoulder.
"You lost."
"Now it's my turn to be the ghost."
The rules of the well-known "Statues" game.
Another rule is that whoever takes a picture of the "ghost" first can replace the "ghost's" identity.
Having witnessed the entire incident, 914 asked Jiang Yang, puzzled, "What is he trying to do?"
Ji Yang also came over, and after the wooden figure passed by the door, he opened the door and said, "Let's go out and take a look."
The doors to rooms 915 and 916 were wide open, and Hoshino stood between the two doors, his arms outstretched.
Tsukie lifted a corner of Hoshino's shirt, revealing that the human skin tissue beneath the clothing was completely stiff.
It is visibly more rigid than the previous 9033.
Jiang Yang asked uncertainly, "So, is Hoshino a wooden doll right now?"
Yuejiang withdrew her hand and looked at Jiyang, "There aren't many people I trust in this no-man's-land."
Jiang Yang noticed Yue Jiang's clenched fist, looked up and heard Ji Yang ask, "What do you want me to do?"
Yuejiang rarely showed such a change in mood. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Find out exactly what he's going to do!"
"Yes, the reward is Leviathan's Pandora's Box."
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Yuejiang's Perspective]
"I remember the magic box was empty, wasn't it? Why would he want an empty box?"
"So what's that box for?"
Just as someone started discussing something in the observation room, Yuejiang immediately switched perspectives to block their voices from reaching the observation room.
"Whose soul fragment do you want to be placed in?" Yuejiang asked bluntly.
"Do you agree?" Ji Yang didn't reply, but asked instead, his gaze fixed on the air.
"Rescue him."
"good."
[Player Yuejiang activates the talent card: Demon]
[Will they switch identities with Hoshino?]
【yes】
[Identity loading]
[Note: Don't forget who you are]
"I'm fucking suffocating."
The image of Yuejiang before him became clearer. He fell to the ground, clutching his chest. When he opened his mouth again, it was still the same face, but his body language had become that of Hoshino.
This was the first time Jiang Yang had ever seen such talent.
His gaze darted back and forth between "Yuehae" and the wooden figure "Hoshino," before he asked, "Where's Yuehae?"
“In that dead wood,” Hoshino got up and clung to Jiang Yang, almost exhausted.
Ji Yang grabbed the man's collar unhappily, "What exactly happened?"
Hoshino was forced to stand still, his expression changing to a serious one as he replied, "It's bewitching me."
"it?"
Is it a wooden figure?
"Yes, it figured it out."
Hoshino's talent made him exceptionally sensitive; when he passed by 916, he heard various faint sounds.
The wooden figure wanted to use him to activate the demon, so rather than remain passive, he simply took the initiative and went inside.
He stayed in the ward with 9151 and 9152, and at first nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But just as the wooden figure stood in front of the opposite ward, two NPCs suddenly walked up behind him.
The doorplates that Ji Yang exchanged gave him a chance to catch his breath, and the means to open the door were not limited to self-criticism, so when the NPC reached out his hand to him, he acted quickly, pulled open the door, and rushed out.
The wooden figures started moving again, and this time, just as Jiang Yang had predicted, there were two more of them.
The three returned to room 914, and because of Yuejiang, they did not plan to change rooms in the third round.
The door closed again, and Ji Yang asked, "How long can Yuejiang last inside the wooden figure?"
Hoshino thought for a moment, "One round, but I can switch him out."
Each exchange involves two people, meaning two rounds of rescue are required. They must rescue the person within two rounds at the latest.
However, before discussing the plan, Ji Yang asked Jiang Yang about his intentions.
"Do you want to come with us?"
