Chapter 42 Un Entertainment Yeah, you don't even know who I am, I...
In the fourth round, there were still four wooden figures in the corridor.
The good news is that there are indeed fewer wooden figures in the ward now.
The bad news is that there probably aren't many wards left that are protected by wooden figures.
Jiang Yang stood at the door watching as 9151 and 9152 dragged the players back.
As if sensing Jiang Yang's needs, the wooden figure initially started from the reset point, but later seemed to consciously avoid the 915 where they were located.
He looked somewhat dejected.
"Cough cough..." Ji Yang, lying on the hospital bed, clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, coughing violently as he bent over.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Yang turned around and quickly walked two steps to the person's side, her face full of worry, "Why do you seem to be in even worse condition?"
Ji Yang shook his head, his other arm supporting him behind his back, but it trembled involuntarily twice due to the pain.
To avoid further evasion, Jiang Yang simply bent one leg and propped it up on the hospital bed, supporting herself on the edge of the bed with one hand and pulling the other person's arm over with the other.
Blood soaked through his shirt, and Jiang Yang carefully rolled it up, deliberately concealing a cold iron nail emanating from the back of his elbow.
The nail pierced through the flesh and embedded itself in the bone. Ji Yang quickly explained, "It's an external injury, all external injuries."
But Jiang Yang remained staring at the wound without saying a word.
"When we get back at noon, can you help me trick Nan Ke into buying medicine?"
Nan Ke's inner monologue (when he wasn't there): A bunch of living dads.
Jiang Yang remained silent, which only made Ji Yang more anxious, until he accidentally touched the wound and gasped for breath.
"Huh?" The young man was still in a position almost straddling Ji Yang, thinking that he had hurt the other person, and quickly got off the bed.
Ji Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "It's nothing." A strange sense of guilt made him change the subject. "Did you just think of something?"
Jiang Yang pointed to a small section of thread protruding from the tip of the nail and explained, "This is a wood screw, mainly used on wood."
If Ji Yang has it, then the wooden figure must have it too.
Jiang Yang was just wondering, "Do you have... a magnet?"
Now it's Ji Yang's turn to be confused.
Jiang Yang explained, "Most screws are mainly composed of iron and copper. If we have a magnet, we might be able to give it a try."
"First of all, we don't have a magnet that big; you want to pull him over from a distance..."
"No, I just need to hold him in place for a moment, just enough for me to slap him."
Ji Yang gasped and asked tentatively, "What do you use to inhale?"
Jiang Yang flicked her finger and landed on the bed next door.
Fortunately, Hoshino isn't here.
There were definitely no giant magnets, but Ji Yang gave Jiang Yang two large speakers.
Jiang Yang frowned and glanced at Ji Yang, her lips twitching slightly.
Ji Yang touched his nose. "They were making a fuss about wanting to set up a karaoke room in the union, complaining that I... bought too big one."
“It’s okay, if you can’t sing, you can do square dancing,” Jiang Yang’s cold-blooded words knew how to stab people.
With wheels underneath, Jiang Yang pushed the speaker to the open space in front of the hospital bed.
After some fiddling, I successfully removed several small magnets from the back of the speaker.
I helped Hoshino up and tested the suction power against people. It was okay, but the distance was a bit too close.
Jiang Yang glanced at the scattered debris on the ground, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and knocked Xingye down again.
Next, he used wires to attach the bottom wheel plate that he had removed from the speaker to the sole of Hoshino's shoe.
With Hoshino on wheels, there's no need to worry about distance anymore.
With everything ready, Jiang Yang stood back by the small window and observed for a while.
After the three new players, 9011, 9151, and 9152, patiently waited for them to pass by, Jiang Yang secretly opened the door.
Jiang Yang only learned later, when he was with Ji Yangyue, that besides writing a self-criticism, another way to get out of solitary confinement was to pick the lock.
Talent is useless, tools are useless, the hidden lock is easy to use. Just take a small card, find the right spot in the gap, and snap it in place!
I knew it! Hoshino told them the method so easily back then; he was just being cunning!
The door opened, and Jiang Yang angrily pushed Xingye out.
The pulley scraped across the ground, and the direction was carefully controlled. Many players looked out through the small window, which naturally attracted the attention of the wooden man.
Crouching low, he hid himself completely behind Hoshino, as the wooden figure slowly approached.
Jiang Yang pushed Xingye with all his might. Xingye swayed and almost fell. He looked down at the wheel and saw something he didn't know was tangled in it.
Turning my head again, I was met with a malicious face through the small window.
There's still half a meter to go before the magnet can attract your attention...
Jiang Yang sneered, flipped the playing cards Ji Yang had given him over in his palm, and threw them forcefully into the small window.
The sharp edge grazed the corner of the man's eye, and a scream came from the ward, mixed with the sounds of him falling and rolling on the ground.
The wooden figure took another half step forward.
Before Jiang Yang came out alone, Ji Yang had already considered the unpredictable nature of people's hearts during the trial.
When Jiang Yang was given a couple of quick lessons and still didn't get the desired results, a magnet was wrapped around the back of the playing card, so it was no longer a light and uncontrollable metal card.
With the movement of supporting Hoshino becoming lighter, the wheels were no longer restrained when they moved again.
Jiang Yang was surprised. What he didn't know was what significance Ji Yang's playing cards held in the No Man's Land.
Without hesitation, his subordinate gave a strong push, and Hoshino successfully connected and attached to the wooden figure.
The wooden figure tried to struggle, but Jiang Yang found the right spot a second before it broke free.
Across from Hoshino, Jiang Yang straightened up, closed his eyes, and passed his arm over Hoshino's shoulder before slapping the wooden figure on the shoulder.
My mind was a complete blank, and I felt a pulling sensation as if my soul was being pulled away.
Then, as if someone had forcibly stuffed him into a small box, a wooden, unbeating heart appeared before his eyes.
He also saw Hoshino's soul, half-lying on his heart, eyes closed, his body shrouded in black mist.
Hoshino wasn't pushed out as he expected, which meant he couldn't fully control the wooden figures and kept them in an unexpected state of balance.
Such bug-exploiting behavior would not occur during a trial.
He tried taking two steps forward to Hoshino and said, "Hey, wake up."
There was no reaction.
After thinking for a moment, the young man shouted, "Now it's my turn to be the ghost! Are you cheating? Are you going to break the rules?"
Of course, it wasn't just something he said to Hoshino.
As he expected, Hoshino, who was trapped in the black fog, suddenly woke up and looked bewildered when facing Jiang Yang.
His bright eyes blinked, and the man in front of him asked, "Who am I?"
Jiang Yang suddenly thought of the wooden man who was influenced by his talent.
And... Hoshino said that Tsukie wasn't in good condition.
So, did Hoshino actually switch back with Tsukie...?
Is he really Yuejiang...?
Jiang Yang retorted, "Who am I?"
He shook his head. "I don't know."
"Yeah, you don't even know who I am, so how would I know who you are? But I do know who knows who you are, so..."
"Why don't you go outside and wait for me? I'll take you to see him after I'm done with my work, and then he'll tell you who you are?"
...
"good..."
The next second, it was unclear whether it was Hoshino's or Tsukie's soul that slowly emerged from the edge of the box.
Jiang Yang urged, "Remember not to open your eyes."
After all, Hoshino is still face-to-face with the wooden mannequin.
However, Jiang Yang, who had completely mastered the wooden figure, discovered that there was no operating module inside the wooden figure that he could control.
The hoarse sound inside the wooden figure was like a rusty handsaw pulling back and forth on the wood.
Jiang Yang instinctively covered her ears and quickly switched to the panel to select a replacement target.
[Due to the difference in identity, the replacement time will be shortened by two-thirds. Based on the player's level, the replacement time this time is 10 minutes.]
[Whether it can replace]
Jiang Yang remembers that the first time he replaced a train conductor was due to the difference in roles.
At that time, there were still ten minutes left in the replacement time.
But when it comes to Ji Yang, there is not only a difference in status, but the time he spends replacing him is even shorter than that of an NPC.
What could the difference in identity be?
Jiang Yang pressed down hard.
【yes】
After regaining her senses, Jiang Yang had already returned to her hospital room.
He instinctively got up, but the intense pain only made him struggle on the bed for a while before he broke out in a cold sweat.
Beneath his palm lay the torn bedsheet that Ji Yang had clutched. He couldn't imagine the intense pain Ji Yang must have endured alone.
Amidst the chaotic commotion in the corridor, Jiang Yang stood up, supporting herself on the bedside table. The finger that had been hovering over the "End of Replacement" text on the control panel ultimately didn't press down.
From the direction of the wooden figure, a familiar face rushed towards them carrying someone he knew even better.
Jiang Yang could tell the difference as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Is Jiang Yang dead?"
Yes, the person who came was Hoshino, and the one he was carrying on his shoulder was Jiang Yang himself...
That confirms it; the only one who doesn't know who she is is Yuejiang.
Jiang Yang didn't intend to reveal her identity to Xingye, so she mimicked Ji Yang's tone and uttered two words in a cool and aloof manner, "It's nothing."
"Alright, my brother's finished his morning classes, we can go out now."
"it's over?"
"Yeah, you have no idea how badly that wooden figure is broken. This place probably can't be held up anymore. They said they'd let us know this afternoon."
...
Waiting for notification...
"Is there a heart inside the fragment?" Jiang Yang asked.
"Where would a wooden doll get a heart?" Hoshino couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Jiang Yang seemed to be deep in thought.
Ji Yang's panel displayed a warning after his long neglect.
He decisively clicked the cross, and as he moved his finger, he also clicked the "End Replacement" button.
"Where's my brother?!"
Jiang Yang, who had been thrown to the ground, came to her senses and, unable to bear it any longer, got up and kicked him.
Ji Yang was unsteady on his feet, so Jiang Yang reached out and pulled Xingye over to be someone's partner, saying irritably, "Wait here, I'll go find it!"
After the third round, Hoshino entered 917, and now that his identity is confirmed, it is naturally Tsukie who is in 917.
Before he could push the door open, it was pulled open from the inside.
Yuejiang said, "It's over, let's go back."
