Chapter 1200: Tathagata Leaves
Wen Yongxin, this name is quite charming.
I still remember that after the Nong Yueke mission, Shao Yongan and others asked him what kind of suspense novel he wrote and whether it was a big hit.
This young man, who was frivolous on the surface but delicate on the inside, just flicked his bangs and smiled.
There are many such clerks in the ten branches.
Why is Tianhai Hotel said to be a world where "geniuses are worse than dogs"? Because it is really cruel to the extreme.
Genius here is just a threshold for survival. Surviving one or two missions does not mean that you can really live forever.
For everyone, time is also fate. It is not an excuse after failure, nor is it humility after success, but a real and cruel underlying logic.
Zhan Xun was like this in the past, and Wen Yongxin is the same now.
Those who leave have the sadness of leaving, and those who live have the difficulties of survival.
The Trojan horse stopped, and there was still a tourist on the No. 5 horse, but Wen Yongxin was "out".
This shattered all the previous speculations and the premise of all efforts, and Chen Jie's eyes were bloodshot.
Because to be fair, Chen Jie did not think that Wen Yongxin was worse than her, and her previous thoughts were not wrong, but what caused the current miserable situation...
Chen Jie sat on the wet and sticky No. 6 horse, half of her body was bleeding, her brain was running fast, looking for the reason in the empty wooden horse field.
"He proposed that the ghost was targeting the wooden horse and not the people, but it was wrong later;
He also proposed that the ghost was targeting the tourists first and then the clerks, but it was also wrong later;
Now it is confirmed that the position of the ghost is unknown, the ghost's attack has no process, and the ghost's method is unsolvable..."
The more Chen Jie thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and she couldn't help but look around the wooden horse project again, especially staring at the fixed pattern on the ceiling for a while.
If the wooden horse did not rotate, there would be an ordinary oil painting, depicting a cute and warm cartoon character.
Everything was full of a strong sense of powerlessness, as if no matter what he did, it would be impossible to win and leave from this wooden horse.
But...
"Miss Chen, if everything is wrong, then maybe we can only try this last method."
Just when Chen Jie seemed to be about to draw some conclusion, Ji Li suddenly spoke, as if he was going to bring up a plan that had been brewing for a long time.
Chen Jie's expression suddenly froze, which was a sign of interrupted thinking. She looked at Ji Li, who had never moved from beginning to end, and subconsciously asked:
"What method?"
Ji Li moved his slightly stiff body, put his arms on the horse's head, looked forward and said lightly:
"Don't do anything, wait for the game to end."
Chen Jie frowned, her hand supporting the No. 6 horse trembled, and her eyes kept rolling.
At first, her face was slightly confused, followed by a touch of relief, but immediately changed to gloom and resentment.
Three stages represent three states of mind.
Confusion is that she didn't understand why Ji Li's so-called "plan" was to wait for the end at the first time.
Relief, she had a flash of inspiration and realized the other party's intention;
Resentment, she realized that it was too late after she realized it.
After more than four minutes of long and short time, near the end of the game, Ji Li said the way out - "Don't do anything, wait for the game to end."
In fact, just now, Chen Jie was very close to this way out.
She realized that all her previous conjectures were overturned, and all her thinking logic was wrong...
Under the premise that ghosts are unsolvable and death is not obvious, how can the living win this game?
The final answer is hidden in the rules of the game - "sit for 5 minutes."
This game summary, which was once vague and ambiguous in their eyes, turned out to be the only way out that was told to everyone early.
Ghosts are unsolvable, and games are unsolvable, so the way out cannot be found from both "ghosts" and "games".
Looking back now, Ji Li has never taken the initiative to change the game since the game started.
Horse No. 12, Horse No. 2, Horse No. 3, the passers-by closest to him, were eliminated one after another, but he became the one who jumped over perfectly.
Ji Li did nothing, why was he not attacked?
The answer can only be "nothing".
Similarly, why was Wen Yongxin eliminated? It was because he was extremely active and constantly interfered with the operation of the Trojan project.
Until this moment, Chen Jie finally grasped the core gameplay of the Trojan game.
3 clerks and 8 tourists, 8 of whom would die, completely played a deterrent and intimidating role.
The ghosts used their death stimulation to constantly anger and force the clerks to have a self-crisis, thus generating resistance and resistance.
And as long as they resisted, it would be a dead end.
Chen Jie forced herself to move her eyes from Ji Li to Wen Yongxin, and a sense of sadness surged in her heart.
In this short period of more than four minutes, she and he racked their brains to calculate and tried their best to test, but the final result was a complete failure.
Who could have thought that in such a tense and dangerous game, the only way to survive is to stay true to yourself and remain unmoved?
Who could have thought that the "sit for 5 minutes" that they once regarded as ambiguous and unclear is actually a clear way to survive against the routine?
At least, neither she nor Wen Yongxin thought of it.
Chen Jie's eyes fell back on Ji Li, and this look contained admiration and hatred.
She respected Ji Li for being able to be steady from the beginning to now, and never let out a sound.
What she hated was that after Ji Li realized this way out, he was still using her and Wen Yongxin to test other ways out, which led to a situation that was beyond redemption.
Chen Jie was doomed.
Her actions were no less than Wen Yongxin's, even more and more intense. It was not over now, perhaps just a matter of luck in time.
The piano music came from all directions again. The gentle and peaceful music was not a panacea to soothe the madness before death, they were just catalysts.
The five minutes were finally up.
The layout of this venue was still so beautiful and warm, but it formed a more dazzling and absurd scene with those unbearable dirty things everywhere.
Chen Jie glanced at the unaware young man on horse No. 5. At first glance, it seemed like she was looking at an idiot, but then she laughed at herself.
"He is, and so am I."
After thinking about it, she took off her dirty coat, put on a thin red skirt, and jumped off the horse.
The piano music at the end was melodious and heartwarming, like the dusk in the mountains, soothing people's hearts.
Ji Li jumped off the No. 1 horse with difficulty, leaned over to pick up the crutches placed on the side of the field, and walked towards the exit with slow and heavy steps.
With his back against the brilliance of the afterglow and the long night, and the various broken limbs and arms.
Every word of unwillingness that Chen Jie and Wen Yongxin said before their death seemed to echo in his ears again, but his heart was not disturbed at all.
When Ji Li left, he was just as he came.
