Chapter 55 Un Entertainment Ji Yang tugged at it a few times, confirming its sturdiness...
Ji Yang's discovery gave Jiang Yang a new perspective.
These poor souls trapped in high-rise buildings, nothing can stop their determination to leave.
If the blind man's initial goal was simply to find an empty room...
Therefore, a four-person dormitory that is already occupied by four people will certainly not be their target.
Unfortunately, the room Jiang Yang was in had a window that had been opened before.
Regardless of what's outside the window, in the blind people's established routine, this is the gap through which they can leave the tall building, which is why they all rushed in.
The question is... should we open the window for the blind person...?
Jiang Yang passed the idea to Ji Yang, since only Ji Yang currently had the ability to do so.
Ji Yang stared thoughtfully at the empty eye sockets of the blind people reflected in the glass, then turned to look again at the endless stream of blind people entering the room, and whispered, "We can give it a try."
Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Yang waved the miniature camera in her hand. The camera could freeze a frame, making it easier for Ji Yang to go down and open the window.
But to his surprise, Ji Yang stopped him and asked, "Didn't the instructions say how many photos you can take?"
Ji Yang had no player identity, and the system did not provide any explanation when he obtained the camera.
Jiang Yang opened the panel and carefully examined the camera's description, her brows furrowing slightly. "It seems...it didn't mention anything..."
Ji Yang turned his head, calculating the distance between himself and the window, "Then let's not use it for now."
The miniature camera is most likely film-based, and judging by its appearance, the length of film it can hold is not particularly long.
"Then you..." Jiang Yang asked, somewhat worried.
Ji Yang put his white gloves back on and moved to the head of Hu Yuan's bed.
He then tore a long strip of cloth from his clothes, grabbed the outermost railing with one hand, raised his chin and gestured to Jiang Yang, "Help me tie this up."
Jiang Yang realized the other person's intention and quickly wrapped the strip of cloth around the railing and tied it together with Ji Yang's hand that was holding it. Ji Yang tugged at it a few times to make sure it was secure, then lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Can you hold onto me?"
"Huh? Where should I grab it?"
One observer exploded, "No way! What are you trying to point to! I watched every single episode, did I fast-forward and miss something?!"
One observer remained calm, saying, "Thinking about Hu Yuan's sleeping 'husband,' I've already made peace."
Ji Yang shook his bound left hand, then knelt on his left knee, raised his upper body, and pressed his knee forward into the gap of the railing.
Jiang Yang found a convenient spot to grab onto the person's arm, and then, feeling the strength emanating from the muscles in his arms, Ji Yang's entire upper body was lifted off the bed.
His entire weight hung on his arm, which was gripping the railing. The bright, heavy feeling in Jiang Yang's arms made him imitate Ji Yang and wed his knees into the gaps in the railing. The two sides were silently resisting each other, trying to find a balance, but they both knew that the most crucial moment had not yet arrived.
Ji Yang reached out, his fingertips barely touching the glass. A blind man spotted him and tore his sleeve.
The nail wound on the wooden figure under the sleeve had healed, leaving only a scabbed scar. Jiang Yang's eyes darkened, and the arm holding Ji Yang's arm tightened involuntarily.
To avoid attracting the attention of more blind people, Ji Yang gritted his teeth and probed forward a little further.
His wrists were marked with red welts from the cloth strips, and his veins bulged. Finally, he wedged his fingers into the window sill and pushed hard without much hesitation.
The window was half open, and the cold air from outside made the blind people stop what they were doing. They all raised their heads, their noses twitching as if they were greedily sniffing the air.
The warmth emanating from Ji Yang's body was slowly swallowed up, and Jiang Yang quickly pulled him back after touching something icy cold.
Ji Yang's lips were pale. In a moment of panic, the young man pulled the blanket over him and wrapped him up. Ji Yang wanted to say something, but he was wrapped up so tightly that only his eyes were visible.
As the blind men disappeared one by one from the window, Jiang Yang suddenly realized that although there was a cold wind, it was nothing like the first time they opened the window.
He remembered that he could feel it even when he was furthest from the window that time, but this time, apart from Ji Yang reacting a little when he opened the window, he didn't seem to feel anything.
Ji Yang pulled off the blanket covering him, looking helpless. "I'm fine."
"Hmph," Jiang Yang turned his head away arrogantly, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After relaxing, the pressure on his knees almost made him fall. When he rolled up his trouser leg, he saw that it was covered in bruises.
Ji Yang removed the bandage from his wrist, revealing another new external injury, but fortunately, it wasn't very serious.
The blind man left quickly. After the dormitory was mostly empty, Ji Yang stretched his limbs and said, "I'll go close the door first."
"Okay," Jiang Yang replied, but Ji Yang suddenly stopped getting out of bed.
Before he could even ask, Ji Yang hissed and gasped, saying, "Go close the door, I think I'm injured."
Although it was strange, Jiang Yang obediently got out of bed and walked to the bedside. Her movement caused a transparent white line that was completely imperceptible to others. As the white line fell to the ground, it disappeared instantly.
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Ji Yang's Perspective]
One second they were discussing Ji Yang's poor acting skills, and the next second a series of "Holy crap!" were being uttered.
A warning popped up on the screen, urging viewers to watch in a censored manner, but it couldn't stop the observers from exclaiming in surprise.
At the same time, Miguel's perspective was switched to the next screen. Facing the wall, he, who had been unconscious, had opened his eyes at some point, his expression full of resentment.
After carefully avoiding the blind man and getting out of bed, Jiang Yang passed by Miguel and murmured unconsciously, "Why hasn't anyone woken up yet? Could something have happened?" Unfortunately, she received no response.
Just as he closed the door, the last blind man followed him out of the dormitory through the window, and new content popped up on the panel.
[Note: Un Entertainment's collapse offset exceeds 75%]
...
When the men gathered on the top floor of the building received the notification of the collapse and shift, several of them smashed their wine glasses as if venting their emotions.
A servant opened the door from the outside. Maple, now dressed in a different outfit, looked elegant and graceful. Her slender high heels stopped as she stepped over the glass shards, the toes slightly upturned. Her heels inadvertently pressed down, causing the shards to shatter and embed themselves in a few people, prompting them to quickly get up and brush them off.
She sat in the spot the man had vacated, her gaze fixed on the large screen, a wine glass swirling between her fingers.
Cain, sitting diagonally across from him, asked, "What do you mean?"
[Judgment authority has been delegated; Un Entertainment's management team's authority will be upgraded to Level A, effective immediately.]
Maple raised her glass, "Here it comes!"
...
The new notification was sent to all players simultaneously. Jiang Yang turned around, still trying to figure out what the notification meant.
Ji Yang slammed the window shut at the other end of the dormitory, and then Hu Yuan woke up.
His first words were, "Ali! Save Ali!"
Fear made him gasp for breath. After a long while, as if realizing something, he continued in disbelief, "No... Ali is dead..."
Ji Yang stood on the lower bunk, and the calmness emanating from him calmed Hu Yuan down considerably. Ji Yang asked, "Do you remember what happened to you before?"
"I... let me think..." Hu Yuan rubbed his face vigorously.
Seeing that he was about to get into a certain state, Jiang Yang reminded him, "Weren't you and Hu Jin waiting for Nan Ke in the dormitory? Why didn't we see you when we came back?"
“I remember now!” Hu Yuan suddenly spoke faster. “Hu Jin left on his own. When I was chasing after him, I don’t know how I ended up on the 23rd floor. Ali asked me if I could do her a favor, and I agreed.”
"What kind of help?"
"She asked me to bring you the booklet..."
[Management used Level A privileges to eliminate Hu Yuan]
Hu Yuan didn't say anything. Jiang Yang watched helplessly as the person disappeared in front of him. Although he had a rough idea of what Hu Yuan was going to take, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.
Permissions! Permissions!
Screw those permissions!
Jiang Yang slammed her fist on the bed frame. Miguel silently breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his head, and sat up groggily, pretending to be woken up, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yang patted Jiang Yang, took the booklet out from under Hu Yuan's pillow, fiddled with it casually for a moment, and then showed it to MiG. "Our team member sacrificed his life. Before he left, he left this for us. Do you know what this is?"
In fact, Jiang Yang and Ji Yang had suspected Miguel's intentions in approaching them from the very beginning.
As they headed to the hall to register, Hoshino and Nanko practically wore their menacing expressions on their faces, and everyone deliberately avoided them, except for Miguel.
If he had greeted Jiang Yang openly and naturally, Jiang Yang probably wouldn't have thought much of it. But he deliberately acted as if it were a chance encounter and even conveyed to Jiang Yang that he was alone.
It's like he opened the door to room 1006 in advance and found out that Hu Yuan was there.
Faced with the vacant bed, Jiang Yang inexplicably mentioned Miguel, and even said when he was sharing a room with Nan Ke, "I can't ask someone to come while I'm not here, can I?"
This shouldn't be something Jiang Yang would say. After all, based on his relationship with Nan Ke, Miguel could never replace Nan Ke as his first choice.
Ji Yang found it strange, Nan Ke found it strange, and Huang Er didn't know what was strange about it.
They all understood when Nan Ke's white thread got tangled in the nematode that Miguel had placed on Jiang Yang.
[Player Mig's Skill Card: Holy Grail IV]
[Personal Talent: Parasite]
[Instructions for use: This allows you to control the movement and even the life of the creature you parasitize]
【Usable range: 5 meters】
[Number of attempts remaining for this instance: 0/3]
Hu Yuan is now dead.
Jiang Yang's tyrannical nature was unleashed, and he was determined to force Miguel into the puzzle, even if it meant pressing down on a piece that was missing a large section.
It must be said that Miguel's acting was truly flawless.
After getting out of bed, he cautiously examined the booklet in Ji Yang's hand and slowly shook his head.
Ji Yang rolled up the booklet and stuffed it into Jiang Yang's pants pocket, saying casually, "You can keep it. I can't take the test, so I won't be with you guys later."
Daylight broke.
