Chapter 171 No One Will Cover for Me in the Children's Park
Chapter 171 "Children's Playground" No one will cover for me
Jiang Qian had a very strange experience watching a man break down and cry in front of him within a minute.
The other party's emotions rushed over, and through the transparent wall of glass-like material, he vented his suffering, frustration, and regret without regard for the measure.
Although some emotions are difficult for people with emotional disorders like Jiang Qian to fully understand.
But this does not prevent him from getting some objective conclusions through the other party's superficial reactions:
This person is likely to be in loneliness, depression or anxiety for a long time, resulting in extreme nerve weakness and sensitivity, and a bipolar cycle between "hysteresis" and "overreaction".
This abnormality is likely to be related to the failure of the copy clearance and long-term imprisonment.
After the other party calmed down a little, Jiang Qian asked again: "Are you the person whose ID was called?"
The man with the severed finger wiped away his snot and tears, and the emotions in his eyes gradually stabilized.
He said something that moved Jiang Qian:
"I am the first person to complete the game of Blind Touch."
Jiang Qian frowned slightly:
"You are a person who has completed the game, why do you stay at this level of transit station? Did you choose to stay voluntarily?"
"Yes, I chose to stay at the beginning..."
The man with the broken finger then showed a painful look.
He gave the reason: "This copy is too cruel. I paid a huge price to complete the game of Blind Touch. My teammates are dead. I can't continue on my own... I have never regretted choosing to stop."
Jiang Qian was silent.
From the beginning of "Children's Paradise" to now, Jiang Qian has experienced four transit stations, including Fruit Man, Handkerchief Throwing, Hide and Seek, and now Blind Touch.
It is true that the number of people in the transit station decreases step by step with the advancement of the game, and it decreases drastically.
Jiang Qian just didn't expect that there was only one person staying at the No. 4 transit station corresponding to the Blind Touch Game.
And the only person claimed to be the first person to complete the game of Blind Touch.
This is unreasonable.
"Sorry, I haven't seen a new player for a long time. I'm very excited about your appearance."
The words of the man with the broken finger brought Jiang Qian back to his thoughts:
"I don't know how long I have stayed here... maybe a few months, a year? A few years? Maybe a life sentence... In the meantime, I have also seen people who have passed the level like you and arrived here, but no one has ever been as calm and comfortable as you are now."
The two looked at each other.
Although Jiang Qian was stained with blood, his clothes were still neat, his calm and determined look, and his unhurried tone made the man with the broken finger suddenly flash a look of resistance.
"Where are your teammates?" Jiang Qian asked.
"Dead, died in the blind copy, died in the rules of the game!" The man with the broken finger said with great sorrow.
"They all died from the water gun? No one was sent to the transfer station?"
The man with the broken finger shook his head: "I don't know, but no one was sent to the transfer station..."
Jiang Qian's heart sank!
At this moment, he had a question mark over the safety of Hong Hu Yu Fei and Ye Qing Ting!
He quickly reviewed the rules of the blind game: the player who was touched and whose name was said would be fatally injured, and if the wrong name was called, the injury would rebound...
In the blind game, there are only a few ways to be eliminated:
Attacked by a water gun, having the ID called, and rebounding when the wrong ID was called.
But the water gun attack was clearly indicated to cause "real death", which overrides the betting rules.
In this way, in addition to the real death of those hit by the water gun, there are at least two other types of eliminated people who can be sent to the transfer station, but they were not seen!
"In other words, except for those who passed the level, no one else has been sent here?" Jiang Qian said with concentration.
"Yes, there is no one else." The man with the broken finger echoed.
"Where will the others go?"
"Dead... Where else can they go?"
"Dead..." Jiang Qian felt a surge of anger rising from his chest, "Will this dungeon allow something that is not mentioned in the rules to happen? People who have bet on the super crystal cannot save their lives?"
The fingerless man sighed: "That's why I chose to stagnate!"
He seemed to have hated the cruel rules of the dungeon, and looked at Jiang Qian with a wry smile:
"You have experienced the dungeon until now, don't you understand?"
"This dungeon has been free from the betting rules since the beginning of hide-and-seek! It has many prohibited operations, and there are all kinds of means to torture you and wipe you out!"
"It's still unclear what I will face in the next level. I've had enough of this kind of 'game'... I don't want to experience it again!"
Listening to the fingerless man's endless chatter, Jiang Qian's heart was even more turbulent.
Could it be that Night Dragonfly and Swan Yufei are really dead?
Doesn't that mean that I killed two people who trusted me without reservation with my own hands... Jiang Qian stretched out his hands and spread his palms.
In his mind, he recalled all the details of the death of Ye Qingting and the other two!
Death was so close to him at that time, could it be a real death?
Jiang Qian's open palm trembled unconsciously...
I was speculating and calculating them the whole time, and even putting down the water gun and taking off the human leather gloves before walking into the living room were part of the calculation. But they chose to trust, to give way to others, and to be honest, but they faced real death... Jiang Qian's fist slammed into the transparent wall!
The fingerless man on the other side of the wall was startled by this action.
Then a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes.
There was still more than an hour of call time left on the countdown timer.
...
Jiang Qian spent more than ten seconds to calm the anger in his chest.
This anger was directed at the copy rules of "Children's Paradise": let those who are good at calculations and scheming win, and let those who are honest, kind, and altruistic die.
This copy is a trick, not a way of heaven.
"What's wrong with you?"
The voice of the fingerless man came through the transparent wall.
Jiang Qian raised his eyes and his eyes slowly and sharply swept across the face of the fingerless man.
When he spoke again, his tone had returned to normal: "Nothing, I have to go."
"Go?"
The fingerless man was surprised: "You mean, we are going to the next level? Aren't you afraid of... real death?"
Jiang Qian did not answer.
He stood up, holding the countdown timer and turned to leave.
"Hey! Stay!"
The fingerless man suddenly leaned against the glass and shouted:
"It's useless! I have seen people go up from here, and I have also hoped that someone can break through this devil's copy and set everyone free! In the end, there is no news..."
"Later I understood that no one can pass this copy. The meaning of this copy is 'no solution'!"
"The game will be reincarnated forever, and it will never reach the end... The real end is only death!"
Jiang Qian paused and looked back at the fingerless man.
The fingerless man breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded in a gentle tone: "Stay, stop when you are satisfied, at least the two of us can still be companions!"
There was expectation and desire in his eyes.
Apparently, he was almost driven crazy by the loneliness and darkness...
He had given up hope of freedom and settled for the next best thing, hoping for the company of a living person.
Jiang Qian looked at him.
He thought of the same rhetoric used by Lin Zhuo when he persuaded Fei Mo Shi Huo to take him in, and succeeded because of it:
Loneliness, long-term and endless loneliness, is enough to make a living human being wither and die.
"Stay..."
The desire of the man with the broken finger has turned into a plea.
Now there are two ways for Jiang Qian to go:
First, continue to move forward, and you may face a more cruel game, and the betting rules of the super crystal will no longer be valid.
Second, choose to stay, save your life, and hope that the latecomers will have a chance to pass the level...
Jiang Qian looked at the man with the broken finger calmly: "Sorry, I can't stop."
What he thought of at this moment was the old Buddha who was over 70 years old, his sister who was about to get married, his mother who was away from home, and Jiang Yang whose whereabouts were unknown.
"No one will cover for me."
He had to move forward, and staying meant handing over his fate to others. He didn't think that someone would come to cover for him and everyone else.
…
The fingerless man's pleading and expectation were frozen on his face.
He turned his eyes left and right, as if trying to find other arguments and change his mindset to persuade Jiang Qian:
"Okay, okay, even if you think this copy has an end, does it have to be you who takes the biggest risk?"
"Why not stop and let the next more capable person experience those unknown risks and crises?"
"You and I, wait for the next person together, and then we persuade him to move forward!"
The fingerless man looked at Jiang Qian again with expectation, hoping that his calculations would impress the player who was about to go to the next level.
"If everyone thinks this way, will anyone be willing to move forward?"
Jiang Qian said, turning off the countdown timer.
This means that the call between the two ends here.
He no longer looks at the fingerless man's reaction.
Walk back to the starting position, waiting to enter the next level.
The brown floor under his feet vibrates slowly, like a giant elevator starting the lifting program.
Jiang Qian's figure slowly rose along the floor, and under the stunned and unwilling gaze of the fingerless man, he rose to the upper level...
Then, Jiang Qian's vision also opened up!
He saw that above the level of the fingerless man, there was a replica of the living space that was exactly the same!
Layer by layer, transparent walls made of glass, circular corridors, and brown closed outer walls.
The difference is that the people in these circular corridors are not awake, some are lying on the ground, and some are leaning against the wall, and they seem to be in a coma.
Judging from the color of the blood stains on their clothes, the higher they go, the fresher the color of the blood stains.
The "giant elevator" rises faster and faster!
Jiang Qian watched carefully and observed these unconscious people.
Finally, in the last circular corridor, Jiang Qian saw two familiar figures...
The vision was filled with daylight.
Jiang Qian felt his body suddenly floating, just like the first time he entered the dungeon, unable to control himself.
But soon, he was back on the ground.
A familiar voice came from his ears.
The words were clear and loud, but it took Jiang Qian a while to understand the sentence:
"Congratulations to the player: Qianlong Wuyong, the first to complete all the entertainment activities of the Seagull Children's Park:"
"Fruit Man, Handkerchief Throwing, Hide and Seek, Blind Touch... Please go to the Director's Office to receive your special reward for clearing the level!"
In the latter sentence, he heard voices from different people:
Giant Auntie, Little Good Boy and Naughty Ghost, Maid Liu Huifen, Pretty Cook...
And the last voice... was the one with the broken finger.
Then, Jiang Qian's sight was restored.
At this moment, he was in the corridor of a building, with offices with beige wooden doors on both sides.
A sign extended from the porch at the end of the corridor, with the words "Director's Office" engraved on it.
Seagull Children's Park, the principal's office.
Jiang Qian walked towards the end of the corridor.
As he walked, he recalled his experience from the blind game to the encounter with the fingerless man, and sighed that the copy was bad.
If he was persuaded to quit when he was about to complete the game, it would be a big loss.
The doors of the rooms along the way were half-open. Jiang Qian glanced at them casually and found that each room corresponded to a game scene.
Each door means a small world.
And there are hidden ladder-like connections between these small worlds.
At the moment, all the game scenes are empty, the whole corridor is sunny, and Jiang Qian came to the door of the principal's office with the soul massage of light music.
He knocked on the door politely.
"Come in~"
A gentle female voice came from the door, which was a tone he had never heard before.
Pushing open the door, a spacious and bright old-fashioned office space came into view.
Wooden tables, TVs, banners, posters, potted plants, a certain office atmosphere, and a warm and comfortable life atmosphere. It was out of tune with the cruelty of the "Children's Playground".
Jiang Qian's eyes were focused. In the middle of the room, a middle-aged woman was fiddling with a radio that looked like a baby face.
The voice of the broadcast came from the baby-faced radio:
"Congratulations to the players who cleared the level: Qianlong Wuyong Xiaoyou! Congratulations to the players who cleared the level: Qianlong Wuyong Xiaoyou!"
The middle-aged woman's appearance was not outstanding, but she had a unique charm, relaxed and mysterious.
She looked up at Jiang Qian, who had a calm face, with a deep and playful look.
Finally, she smiled and pointed to the chair in front of her:
"Please sit down, smart passer."
Jiang Qian didn't say politely to the other party: "Are you the dungeon boss?"
"Dungeon boss?" A trace of curiosity flashed across the woman's face, but her smile did not diminish, "Is this what you call us? Hmm... Interesting."
Jiang Qian didn't know what was interesting about this name.
But judging from the other party's attitude, she seemed to have a different level of cognition from other dungeon bosses.
Compared with the dungeon bosses that Jiang Qian had encountered before, the demon clones and the weird things in the Duke of Highland's mansion, both of them have their own fixed procedures.
They default to the relationship between the player and the evolutionary dungeon, and follow the program to interact with the player.
And now this woman, when facing the clearer, showed a unique emotion: curiosity.
Well, you are a one-time dungeon boss after all. Considering that this is your first time to receive a clearer, I will reluctantly help you advance the process... Jiang Qian went straight to the point:
"I am the "Children's Paradise" that has already cleared the level, right? In this case, please transfer the reward to your account as soon as possible. Everyone's time is precious, so I won't talk about other topics. "
The female head looked at Jiang Qian in surprise: "You are the first person to come here, but you don't seem to be very surprised?"
"On the contrary, you look happier than me." Jiang Qian said bluntly.
"Yes."
The female head gently stroked the tape recorder in her hand, and said with a deep look:
"Because I have been waiting for this day for a long time! ”
