Chapter 57 Un Entertainment "I am never afraid of death."...
Upon hearing Tian Yu's name, Jiang Yang's first reaction was, "Is she still a player?"
After all, they had previously become security guards due to mission requirements, and if she was only working as a nameplate guardian, she might not lose her player status.
Unfortunately, Huang Er said, "Judging from her appearance, there's a high probability that she'll become a monster."
Jiang Yang then asked, "Which box is she in?"
Huang Er replied, "The silent lamb."
Jiang Yang's thoughts were suddenly sparked. He stood up straight abruptly, gently kicked Nan Ke's shin twice with his toes, and called out urgently, "Nan Ke, wake up."
Startled by the sudden interruption, the boy sat up with his eyes half-open and half-closed, a hint of anger at being woken up. His gaze swept over Jiang Yang with a silent question.
Jiang Yang held out his hand in front of the person, and Nan Ke deflated in less than ten seconds. He grabbed the person's wrist, used the leverage to stand up from the ground, and asked irritably, "What?"
"Let's go upstairs and take a look."
The tempting offer immediately dispelled Nan Ke's dissatisfaction at being disturbed, and his eyes lit up with excitement.
"We'll be back soon."
Jiang Yang didn't forget to tell Huang Er that Huang Er's next test was coming up, so he naturally couldn't be with them.
After saying that, Jiang Yang patted Nan Ke on the shoulder, signaling her to follow. Then he turned around and walked quickly toward the elevator. Nan Ke followed closely behind.
The elevator stopped at the 33rd floor, apparently having gone up after all the test participants had entered the test floor. Jiang Yang pressed the up button, and Nan Ke caught up and stood beside her. Taking advantage of the wait for the elevator, Nan Ke finally remembered to ask, "Where are we going?"
Jiang Yang turned her head and looked at Nan Ke with a firm gaze. "There's something I need to confirm."
Nan Ke asked, "What is it?"
"Let's confirm who the examiner is."
The elevator had descended, and the doors slowly opened in front of the two. The empty elevator car seemed like an invitation to enter a trap. Jiang Yang stepped in first, and Nan Ke finally gave in under his gaze.
Neither of them pressed the floor button. In the silence, Jiang Yang asked, "What are you thinking about?"
“If you don’t just want to pass the level, we have many other ways to stop this trial, but you seem to be…” Nan Ke hesitated, but still stepped forward and pressed the button for the 26th floor.
Jiang Yang chuckled and picked up where he left off, "You're very persistent about the truth behind it all, aren't you?"
What if you were to die because of this truth?
"I am not afraid of death."
When the elevator reached the 26th floor, Jiang Yang gave Nan Ke a nudge. When Nan Ke turned around, he saw Jiang Yang smiling and waving at him, "See you downstairs in a bit."
Nan Ke stared at the gap in the elevator door, her lips moving as she muttered softly, "See you in a bit."
The 26th floor is "Animals", and the 27th floor is "The Silence of the Lambs".
Jiang Yang stood in the elevator and pressed the button for the 27th floor without hesitation. His heart was racing. He was so eager to confirm the examiner's identity because he suddenly realized that the replacement of the nameplate was most likely related to the examiner.
Or perhaps... it's due to a power struggle behind them.
His participation in musicals was the result of their negotiation.
Jiang Yang recalled the series of events that had occurred in the past few days. Each event seemed to point to an impending storm, and as the eye of the storm, he had to jump into the swirling vortex.
Nan Ke asked him why he was so persistent about the truth. It was because he knew that the result he wanted was never to leave Un Entertainment, nor to shut it down.
Instead...destroy, destroy this furnace-like place.
However, even though he was prepared that the assessment content would be different on each floor, he was still taken aback when he got to the Lamb.
Unlike the bright lobby on the 25th floor, the dim and oppressive lighting, combined with heavy metal music, made people feel dizzy. The smell of blood filled their nostrils with every breath, and every organ in their body screamed for two words: "Run!"
The elevator doors opened and closed repeatedly, as if urging Jiang Yang to get off quickly.
When the lights from the elevator car shone into the 27th floor, he could see the situation inside clearly. At the same time, the human-bodied rabbit-headed and rat-headed human-bodied beings all turned to look at this incongruous outsider. On his blue-faced, fanged face, there were unchewed limbs hanging from the corners of his mouth. Jiang Yang didn't know whether to run away first or vomit first.
After a moment's mental struggle, he calmed down. First, this was indeed the Silent Lambs assessment floor, and second, the reason it was like this might be related to the content of their assessment.
Thinking this, Jiang Yang moved to the elevator near the buttons without changing his expression, and silently pressed the button for the 25th floor, his arm stuck in the corner.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and Jiang Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But at that moment, the elevator stopped closing for a moment, and then opened to both sides again.
No one came in, but the young man's emotions were stirred. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Without thinking carefully, his fingers trembled as he pressed the button hard, making a loud clanging sound.
But the elevator doors always seemed to open just before closing. After two such incidents, Jiang Yang finally realized something was amiss.
This strange behavior is neither from a rabbit nor a mouse, but from a deliberate act that carries a hint of "teasing," and such behavior can only come from one person.
Hoshino!
Fuck you!
[Un Entertainment Observation Room - Jiang Yang's Perspective]
"Hahaha, look how scared the child is!"
"It's really pitiful, but it's also really funny, hahaha."
"Hoshino, you've changed! You weren't like this before!"
Jiang Yang crossed his arms in front of him, leaning against the car wall. The cold metal seeped through his thin shirt, making him even calmer.
He waited patiently, waiting for the mischievous fellow outside the door to lose his temper first.
Only half a minute later, the rabbit's ears popped out first.
It was a dark gray rabbit with uneven, messy fur on its face. The stitches on its three-lobed mouth were still visible. Overall, it looked somewhat like the Jade Rabbit on the 25th floor.
The area where his eyes were was empty, now covered by something, and staring at it for too long gave off an evil power that forced him to look away.
Hoshino was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yang's performance. He angrily removed the blindfold from his eyes, revealing his disappointed and dissatisfied expression. Only then did Jiang Yang realize that he was wearing a huge rabbit headgear. The excessively long fur covered his neck, making him mistakenly believe that these players had grown animal heads.
"you..."
Jiang Yang wanted to ask why they were all silent. The music in the hall was loud, but everyone was quiet.
Hoshino raised his hand to his lips in a shushing gesture, and Jiang Yang swallowed the words he hadn't finished saying. Hoshino stepped in and casually pressed a button. Only after they were out of the 27th floor's range did he take off his hood and say, "We couldn't talk there."
The silence of the lambs, provided they are silent.
Jiang Yang understood that Hoshino seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and now that he had someone to confide in, he started to pour out his feelings.
The first rule he and Yuejiang received after entering the 27th floor was:
No talking is allowed until the assessment is completed.
Unfortunately, his number was too far down the queue, which made him really irritable!
"What about your brother?" Jiang Yang was preoccupied with getting back to the assessment and didn't have time to listen to his complaints. She focused on the parts she wanted to know.
Hoshino's anger level increased by 20 after being interrupted. "Is this the assessment?"
Jiang Yang asked, "Is it a mouse or a rabbit?"
Hoshino's anger level increased by another 20 points, and he spoke through gritted teeth, "Rat!"
Jiang Yang asked, "What were you tested on?"
Hoshino's anger level reached 70. "I don't know!"
The last question is, "Who are your examiners?"
Hoshino, his anger at 100%, roared, "Am I a criminal?!"
“We’re collaborating, Hoshino.”
"Tian Yu! That's enough!"
Having received a positive response, Jiang Yang reached out and smoothed Hoshino's hair, which was sticking up due to the headgear, and patted him on the head encouragingly, "Hoshino, good luck with the assessment."
"None of your business!"
The elevator stopped at the 25th floor and opened its doors. Hoshino forcefully shoved Jiang Yang out, cursing, "Get out! Don't let me see you again!"
Nan Ke was standing at the elevator entrance when Jiang Yang rushed out and caught him.
Once he had determined who the animal examiner was, seeing that the elevator wasn't moving, he simply walked back up the stairs. He then stood guard at the elevator entrance, watching it descend. Out of concern, he pressed the elevator button to come back up, which just happened to save Jiang Yang from angering Hoshino.
Similarly, Jiang Yang saw the elevator going upwards and guessed that it was Nan Ke's doing, so he waited until he was on the verge of Xingye's explosion to obtain the information he wanted.
In summary, only the world where Hoshino was injured was achieved.
The young man glanced around the hall. Miguel had already come out of the assessment and was now standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his head down, seemingly lost in thought. Nan Ke said, "Huang Er has been inside for seven or eight minutes."
Judging by the time, it was almost time for Huang Er to go upstairs.
"Also, the examiner for the 26th floor dance drama 'Animals' is Li Tangyi."
Jiang Yang gasped, realizing that his nameplate had been taken by Li Tangyi himself.
He had initially thought that Li Tangyi might simply belong to one of the factions, but if this was their method of transferring the nameplates...
So, the only way his nameplate could have been changed from a lamb to a brain is that it was Tian Yu who did it.
The problem is, Tian Yu didn't appear during the stage when Nan Ke and Huang Er exchanged nameplates...
Jiang Yang shook his head vigorously, trying to change his perspective.
His original plan was for Li Tang to exchange his nameplate for the lamb, which was Cain's arrangement.
If Li Tangyi is Cain's man and was indeed arranged by Cain, then it means that Cain did not want him to participate in "his" assessment.
Similarly, behind Tianyu... Maple!
Maple also didn't want Jiang Yang to participate in "her" assessment.
So Tian Yu was arranged to change Jiang Yang's nameplate to the musical again.
So, whose faction is the Jade Rabbit...?
"Hey, Jiang Yang," Nan Ke interrupted his thoughts.
Jiang Yang looked up and saw MiG approaching in their direction.
When there was no assessment, Miguel appeared exceptionally relaxed, and he asked without hesitation, "Do you think he'll come out?"
