Chapter 243 Chapter 241 "Sheep in the Rain"
Chapter 243 Chapter 241·"Sheep in the Rain"
[In Xinzhou, there is a profession called "Sheep Supporter". 】
[They are responsible for rescuing sheep from the rain. Because wool is too absorbent, and the heavy wool after absorbing water will make them fall to the ground, they can easily drown in standing water. 】
[In the eyes of humans, water droplets that are light and harmless and can fall easily with a flick of the eye are, in their eyes, like droplets hanging on their bodies, making them sink step by step toward a heavy burden of death. 】
[Humans don’t understand, so humans can think. 】
【——Why are some sheep afraid of water drops? 】
[They may think that the "sheep" are too timid, too afraid of water, too unable to withstand blows, unable to withstand strong winds and heavy rains, and too fragile. They should be allowed to step into the rain and see everything real, so that they can be "trained" so that they will not be afraid. 】
[Dongxue has read this story. 】
[At first, she had no feelings at all. 】
[Because she is not a sheep, she is not afraid of rain. 】
【...But until one day. 】
[They said that she was obviously a boy, but she wanted to grow her hair long, wear a red dance skirt, white dance shoes, and learn the swan dance. 】
[They said that she is obviously a boy, but she doesn’t like to play ball or do sports. She likes to read romance novels and speaks softly. 】
[They said, Dongxue, you are so disgusting. 】
[Her emotions were bloodyly uncovered, with pain like tearing apart skin, flesh, muscles and bones. 】
[She was pushed into the abyss to become a "normal person". 】
[The old pain has been secretly beating in her heart, until the scars of the past remain in her skin and flesh and between her ribs. 】
【She became a sheep in the rain. 】
【……】
[Dongxue has been crying. 】
[On the verge of collapse, she found that a person suddenly appeared next to her. 】
[Unlike my humble and dirty self, the other person is sunny, kind, and beautiful, and has all the conditions to become an excellent woman. 】
[Dongxue named the other party Yangxia. She said that the two of them must escape from here. 】
[But everyone is saying that Yang Xia is fake - she fell in love with her own illusory creation. 】
[Dongxue doesn’t believe it. 】
[She promised Yang Xia that they must live together forever. 】
…
[You get the key clue·The truth about Baisha Paradise·1]
[(The Truth about White Sand Paradise·1): The narrative from Flax helps you understand part of the truth about this place. 】
[The truth about Baisha Paradise·Collection progress: 1/3]
…
Su Mingan stood up and watched the scent of linen dissipate little by little.
The sunlight scattered on her hair, creating a brilliant halo.
She fell to the ground, and the blood gradually spread over the scattered sawdust, and the scattered glass shards sparkled.
Her figure was completely covered in blood, and after a moment, only a piece of broken wooden tables and chairs were left in that place.
"Ding dong!"
He saw a ball of light flowing into his backpack.
[Obtain props (Fax's Emotional Potion)]
[Props (Fax’s Emotional Potion)
Type: strategy props
Effect: Only the player can take it. After taking it, you can sense the emotional emphasis in other people's words, so as to help capture the hidden information in other people's words.
Obtaining requirements: The special reward obtained by the player for defeating Flax head-on for the first time alone is given to those who have the courage to challenge the powerful.
Introduction: "She once had a vast world with blue seas and blue skies - when she was developing this bottle of potion, did she ever regret her previous self?"]
[Since the player has already received rewards from Flax before the copy was reset, no experience points will be awarded for this victory. 】
…
This bottle of potion is different from the wrong blue potion before. It is completely pink and still bubbling.
Su Mingan hesitated for a moment and drank it.
The rewards obtained by following the route will generally be helpful to the subsequent plot.
There is no special smell when the medicine enters the mouth, and there is not even any reaction on the body.
He opened his taskbar.
In the task bar, the item [Retrieve my real name] is still blank.
He opened the blank column and entered the word "Yangxia".
The next moment, he heard the system prompt:
[The identity mission has been completed. 】
[Rewards have been included in the comprehensive evaluation. 】
…
...It’s really me.
Su Mingan couldn't understand.
Yang Xia is a virtual woman imagined by Dong Xue, an unrealistic existence, but her body is a real man, a body that exists in reality.
How are the two connected?
He suddenly remembered that in the previous meeting in the library, Dongxue had identified herself as Yang Xia.
...So, in fact, she was not hallucinating at that time.
She actually didn't admit her mistake.
Moreover, winter snow during the day and winter snow at night are definitely two different people.
He felt strange at that time why Dongxue was wearing a red dance skirt at night and why she looked so much more beautiful.
...Now it seems that the winter snow at night is probably something like "obsession".
Dongxue, who cannot become a woman, is obsessed with the beautiful herself wearing a red dance skirt.
He turned around and looked at the seven people in the classroom.
Two students went crazy and fell to the ground with blood on their faces.
The other two students looked quite normal. One of them was a tall, thin young man, and the other was a little girl with braids. Their faces were full of tears, and their eyes were filled with panic, as if they were waking up from a dream.
Dongxue stood by the podium. She seemed not to be affected by the storm in the middle. When she saw the look in his eyes, a look of peace appeared on her face.
"Yang Xia, you really succeeded in protecting me." Dong Xue murmured to herself: "Originally you just talked to me and silently watched me endure everything. Now, you have really come to save me."
"I am not your illusory creation, Dongxue, I am a living person." Su Mingan said, "You see clearly, I am not a woman."
Dongxue opened her eyes, looked at him, and stayed where she was.
Su Mingan did not stimulate her any more, but went to see Mo Yan's condition.
After being stimulated by the drug Flax and being affected by the boss battle, Mo Yan now looked like a wooden stake standing motionless.
Mo Yan stood there, holding his sword, with tears on his face.
"Mo Yan." Su Mingan patted him on the shoulder but did not respond.
"Snapped!"
He slapped him directly.
Under this slap, Mo Yan seemed to be shocked and came back to his senses.
His dull eyes gradually glowed with light, and his consciousness returned little by little.
"...brother?"
Mo Yan called out tentatively and suddenly found that the classroom was in chaos.
"Holy crap! What happened? Why, why are the tables and chairs... Hey, wait, why does my cheek hurt so much... Mo Yan screamed and suddenly covered his left cheek.
"Good will." Su Mingan expressed his rare appreciation.
He originally thought that Mo Yan could not be saved, just like the previous players who suddenly went crazy during the boss battle.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yan was crazy, but not completely crazy.
One slap actually woke the person up.
"Hey, wait, brother, what's going on? Where is that crazy woman? She..."
"The boss battle is over."
"Ah? I couldn't help..." Mo Yan sighed in shame, and then suddenly woke up from a dream: "Wait a minute, the boss battle... Big brother, big brother, you defeated that 2000 combat power guy by yourself. Crazy woman?”
Su Mingan didn't answer.
In his minimized live broadcast room, barrage flashed across like crazy:
[Holy shit...I really defeated that guy with 2000 combat power by myself...]
[I had already written a eulogy for the first player, but I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to send it out...]
[The first player has taken a completely new route...]
[No one can kill Flax, only the first player can. 】
[Not necessarily, maybe Edward can, his equipment has been updated again...]
【And Noel! Why can't Noel? His mental blast cannon must have an effect on NPCs like Flax, and there are also soul gems, which have special effects on this kind of judgment. 】
[I think Miss Mizushima can do it too. Her mental reflection shield is very effective against this kind of boss...]
[Mainly, no one is as reckless as Su Mingan, who insists on taking a route that others dare not take...]
Following a wave of side-tracking, the barrage once again shifted to the question of who is the strongest.
This kind of topic, just like the topics of "What exactly does the organizer want to do" and "What kind of world will the next copy be", are topics that have been active in people's speech for a long time and are enduring.
Su Mingan glanced at Dong Xue: "Get ready, we are leaving here."
"Ah...ah?" Dongxue obviously hasn't reacted yet.
"Take what you need to take away and leave." Su Mingan said: "A new teacher will come tomorrow. We must find a way to leave here before the end of today."
"Leave...leave?"
Dongxue murmured.
Through the warm light of the afternoon, a sparkling water shone in her eyes.
"Can we really escape?" The little girl standing next to her with scars all over her body asked in disbelief.
Su Mingan frowned.
The mission requirement was to take Dongxue away, but he was not prepared to take these two, who looked like they were dragging their feet.
"I know the route out." Another young man who was not crazy yet said immediately: "-Please, as long as you can take us out of this door, I can tell you the route behind."
"I, I can do it too." The little girl mustered up the courage to say.
Living in such a place, they have long learned to show their value.
"I'm strong and I'm good at fighting. If another teacher catches up with me, I can fight with him..." the little girl said.
But looking at her thin and small appearance, this statement does not seem to be credible.
Su Mingan said nothing.
At this time, he heard the system voice:
[Get the escape line and side mission: Escape from this place (point rewards will be given based on the completion of the mission)]
[Task description: Protect the remaining "normal" students from escaping from Baisha Paradise, while ensuring the survival of others. (When the task is settled, the more people are alive, the higher the task evaluation will be.)]
[Current number of survivors: 5. (Su Mingan, Mo Yan, Dong Xue, Zhuang Guo, Suzunako)]
…
"Follow," he said.
The two surviving students' eyes lit up, as if they had received permission, and they immediately nodded desperately.
After hearing the news about their escape, they began to act quickly.
Su Mingan walked around again. When he passed by the clue that had not yet been revealed, he touched the layer of wallpaper, but he still couldn't tear it open.
"for you."
A soft voice came from the side.
The girl with messy black hair handed him a flashlight.
[Obtain key props·White Sand Flashlight]
[With this prop, you can travel freely at night and see some hidden clues. 】
Su Mingan took the flashlight.
He remembered that in the information Noel gave him, it was written that the flashlight was a key prop.
This thing is in Dongxue's hands, and the player may need to brush her favorability level before it can be obtained.
But if the player's initial identity is Yang Xia, he may directly gain her trust.
...But he still couldn't figure out why he was Yang Xia.
He turned on the switch and the light swept towards the wall.
No wonder the wallpaper cannot be uncovered. It turns out that this clue requires a flashlight to see.
Under the light, the lines of writing gradually became clear before my eyes.
[1. There is a door in the basement with a password lock, but do not try to force the door open, as it will trigger an electric shock and disturb the security guard.
2. The teachers will update the punishment mechanism and learning content on the night of the third and fourth days. They will leave the White Sand Paradise briefly. This will be a good time to escape.
3. The passwords in the combination lock are distributed in every corner, with a total of five numbers. The props on other students will have these scattered numbers.
4. Don’t try to find your parents after going out, because “rebellious” children will be sent back to the treatment center by their parents. 】
…
[Hopefully, we can escape successfully this time. 】
