"brush--"

With the familiar light, the bus returned to the road again.

It took about three seconds to adjust to the light.

Cheng Ye asked the child: "The moment we entered the tunnel, were we no longer in the carriage?"

The child looked at Cheng Ye in surprise: "How do you know?"

Cheng Ye smiled, but his eyes glanced at the first row of people.

That man, dressed in black, curled up in a chair. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was nothingness.

Does this person have any special significance?

Is it the same person as him, or something else?

Cheng Ye was thinking when a child's voice came to his ears: "I'll share a few clues with you."

"First, the bus leaves at 2 a.m., with ten minutes of light and ten minutes of darkness, and so on."

"Two, every time you come out of the tunnel, one more person may appear, or someone may disappear."

"Three, the bus journey takes about four hours. As soon as the sun appears, this horrific incident will be over."

...

Cheng Ye recalled that he happened to wake up about three minutes before he was about to leave the tunnel.

In other words, everyone in the car was pulled here directly. During those ten minutes of darkness, they were in a state of chaos.

"At the beginning, there was no one next to you, right?"

The child nodded: "You appeared in the sixth round."

Round six.

Cheng Ye did the math and found that it would be almost 4 o'clock.

It's at most an hour until dawn.

"How do you know that as soon as the sun comes out, we will survive?"

"I guessed."

"Then, what is the significance of the existence of buses?"

"I don't know either. I was in the car when I woke up." The child replied calmly, with a very calm tone.

"I should have been the first one to show up. There was no one in the car when I came. I was sleeping at the time, and when I suddenly came here, my first reaction was not to act rashly."

"I waited for a long time, counting the time, and deduced that there would be ten minutes of light and ten minutes of darkness."

"During this period, people were pulled into the car one after another. Some were impulsive and disappeared as soon as they left their seats, but some were cautious and died because they triggered other fatal injuries."

"In the end, there are only four of us left."

The child shrugged and said slowly.

"No."

Cheng Ye raised his head and showed a strange smile.

His gaze went to the first row in front of him.

There was another person sitting there.

Be one with the darkness.

The child glanced at Cheng Ye and said calmly: "Ah, it turns out someone is hiding."

Cheng Ye refused to comment and just said: "This is a game."

The child raised his head, his clean eyes full of doubts.

Cheng Ye squinted his eyes and his vision gradually became blurry.

June 1, 2060.

A game takes the world by storm.

It focuses on horror and challenges the lower limit of horror.

The game is an AI setting that automatically generates things that people are really afraid of deep down in their hearts.

The unexpected gameplay and immersive realism made this game popular all over the world overnight.

However, as the popularity of the game continues to rise.

Suddenly one day, something went wrong.

People started disappearing from the game.

I was just lying in the game warehouse, and the next day I found that the person had disappeared.

As more and more people disappeared, the game was forced offline.

The animation at the beginning of the game is a bus.

Driving slowly towards death.

Cheng Ye concluded that this was the bus.

However, that is just the opening animation of the game. The animation has no meaning. There is no decryption or clearance in the animation.

Therefore, the child's statement that it would be nice when the sun comes out is just wishful thinking.

The animation is cyclic, that is, there is no concept of time, and the bus will cycle between light and darkness forever.

There is no end.

Is he going to be stuck in this looping animation for the rest of his life?

...

Cheng Ye came back to his senses and glanced at the child from the corner of his eye.

[This is the death bus. It appears once a month. All people who get on the bus ride according to certain rules. Anyone who messes with it will die.]

The words the child said still echo in my ears.

Why do you say this?

Once a month, where did it come from?

Could it be that this child has seen this bus before?

Cheng Ye looked into the distance. It was still pitch black. Apart from the shallow street lights, there was no sign of dawn.

"You said the sun would rise."

The child nodded, not understanding why he asked this question repeatedly.

"But look at the sky. Is there any change from two hours ago?"

Cheng Ye's tone was very calm, just like asking someone if they slept well last night.

The child didn't speak, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

But the voice sounded a bit panicked: "Difficult, could it be... maybe it's because of the longitude position..."

Cheng Ye interrupted the child: "Where did you originally live?"

The child hesitated for a moment, with a stiff expression: "Yongye."

Cheng Ye's face didn't change and he said softly: "Hmm."

Yong Ye, which county or district is this? Why have I never heard of it?

Cheng Ye is from Haishi, so it seems that everyone in this car is not necessarily from the same place.

Cheng Ye raised his head slightly and squinted his eyes, trying to see the man in the hat in the darkness.

What is the purpose of our existence?

The tunnel is close at hand, and as the last light disappears, darkness swallows everything.

Cheng Ye closed his eyes.

There was no sound of wind whistling in his ears.

The whole world seemed to have fallen into eternal darkness.

When the light is bright, even if it is quiet, there are still tiny sounds in my ears.

We are indeed no longer in the same time and space...

"The sun rises", "disappears", "different spaces".

"Game", "Loop"

And "Eternal Night"...

Um?

Eternal night?

Cheng Ye's eyes suddenly opened. Although he couldn't see anything, he vaguely felt that he had caught something.

He sat up straight, his whole body upright.

His face was serious, as awe-inspiring as ice and snow.

The slightly bright eyes shone with joy, and all the clues suddenly came together.

The corners of his mouth finally slowly raised.

"Bang--"

The bus exits the tunnel again.

A burst of bright white light shot straight over him instantly.

Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

Child.

It's an NPC.

His clues and precautions.

Aren't all NPCs saying things to every player...

Cheng Ye smiled and turned his head slowly.

At this moment, all the dark clouds covering the moon dissipated, and the pale moonlight poured down, passing through the glass, outlining a thin bright edge.

A harmless smile appeared on his face, he lowered his head and said in a voice that only two people could hear:
Chapter completed!
