"What should we do now?" Li Muyuan looked at the two of them and asked.
"We seem to have only two choices," Xia Hua said, "leave here, or stay here and wait for reinforcements from the association."
Li Muyuan turned to the Taoist Priest, "What does the Taoist Priest think?"
"I'm thinking..." The Taoist priest frowned in thought, his tone hesitant, "Can we really leave?"
Xia Hua and Li Muyuan were startled.
"Although Jiutian and I have not yet explored the edge of the bridge," Taoist priest continued, "but I think that since the enemy has found a way to change the world around us like this, they should also have a way to trap us here.
"
"Then are we still waiting for reinforcements?" Luo Jiutian asked worriedly.
"Let's wait and see," Xia Hua sighed, "Maybe... there will be new changes after dawn."
"The premise is that it will be dawn." The Taoist priest suddenly said.
Everyone looked at him.
The Taoist priest pointed to his watch, then pointed to the night outside the window, and said, "It's already 4:30 in the morning. At this time yesterday, the sky was already starting to turn white, but look at the sky now."
The sky cut out by the small square window is like a pure black curtain lowered at the end of the stage, isolating the colors, stories and everything about life to a place where the audience cannot see it.
The night outside the window remained unchanged from a few hours ago.
"I'm afraid it will be like this for a few more hours," the Taoist priest put down his watch and said calmly, "What we have to face is not only an empty city, but also a long night."
There always seems to be something lurking in the darkness.
It will bring uneasiness.
"What are we going to do?" Luo Jiutian asked with a pale face.
Before the Taoist priest could give the negative answer, a faint groan sounded from the corner behind everyone.
"Well... uh..."
It's that man.
The man covered his forehead, his eyes blurred and confused. He slowly pushed himself up and sat up from the ground. Luo Jiutian's clothes covering him also slipped to the ground.
Several people exchanged glances in unison.
Woke up just in time.
Xia Hua immediately stepped forward and squatted in front of him on one knee.
"You're awake."
The man's blank eyes focused on Xia Hua. After a while, his pupils suddenly dilated. The man screamed, picked up the coat on the ground, and huddled towards the corner, trembling.
It seems he still remembers who knocked him out.
"Don't be afraid," Xia Hua smiled softly and tucked up the man's clothes, "We just want to ask you a few questions."
The man became even more frightened, and was even so scared that he turned to the other men present for help.
The men shrugged and thought to themselves that fortunately this woman was their teammate. If she were an enemy, then this man would be them now.
"Look at what they are doing, look at them being useless," Xia Hua stroked the man's hair and said in a soft tone, "What's your name?"
"I..." The man wanted to say, but he didn't dare to say, "I..."
"Don't worry, Tianpei is far away and he can't hear you anymore." The Taoist priest also squinted his eyes with a kind face, "This is just an unimportant question. You'd better answer it. If you don't ask a question,
Answer, the head of the Xiahua family may lose his temper. In this case..."
"My name is Zhou Ye," the man said without hesitation. He swallowed, looked at Xia Hua timidly, shrank his neck and said, "They usually call me Xiao Zhou, or Xiao Ye, what do you think?
You can call me whatever you want..."
The Taoist priest nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that this guy is pretty good.
"Zhou Ye," Xia Hua smiled, "your name... fits the current scene quite well."
Zhou Ye squinted his eyes and glanced secretly out of the window, "It's still... it's not dawn yet..."
"That is to say, we also find it strange." Xia Hua pretended not to know anything, stretched out her wrist, and showed the dial of the watch to Zhou Ye, "Look, it's almost five o'clock, and it's still dark.
It’s so dark, it gives me a headache.”
Zhou Ye took a trepidating glance, and then, something other than fear finally appeared in his eyes.
He slowly straightened his body and stared at Xia Hua's watch for a long time. Then he raised his eyes and looked out the window, his eyes going back and forth between the watch and the window several times.
"What did you see?" Xia Hua stopped smiling and asked quietly.
Zhou Ye struggled to get up, but no one stopped him. He held on to the wall and moved to the window. The dark night outside the window was reflected in his dark pupils, trembling with his pupils.
"It's impossible..." Zhou Ye stepped back a few inches in disbelief, his legs softened, and he almost fell to the ground, "How is it possible..."
Luo Jiutian picked up a stool and put it behind him in time, and Zhou Ye slumped down on it.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xia Hua tapped her fingernails on the back of the chair, "You look surprised too."
"Is there... no one outside?..." Zhou Ye came back to his senses and asked dryly.
"Yes," said the Taoist priest, "it's empty."
"There are no animals anymore." Luo Jiutian added.
Zhou Ye was stunned and his body went limp again.
"It looks very serious," Luo Jiutian supported his body and said, "Look at him, he's so scared."
"As long as we are not assassinated without knowing it, it is not serious," Xia Hua said casually, "Why, boy, aren't we dead?"
"No...it's not..." Zhou Ye's eyes were red, "To be precise, not yet..."
Quite a bluffing statement.
"Don't despair too soon," the centenarian Li Muyuan patted Zhou Ye on the shoulder and said, "You may not be able to solve it yourself, but we are there."
Zhou Ye raised his head and looked at Luo Jiutian.
"You've played the Ten Days Banquet, right?"
"Ah?" Luo Jiutian didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, "Yes... yes, otherwise how could I have seen you?"
"What level have you reached?"
"I probably..." Under the gaze of everyone, Luo Jiutian's face suddenly turned red. He pretended not to remember his pitiful record and said hesitantly, "About...four or five levels?...five
Six levels?...Four, five, six, and seven levels..."
Zhou Ye sighed and said unceremoniously, "No, you are too weak."
"You..." Luo Jiutian wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he was right, "Can you be a little polite..."
"Now we have entered a world similar to that in the Ten-Day Banquet," Zhou Ye said. "If we can't find a way out, we will die here."
"The world in the game?" Xia Hua said contemptuously, "What's so difficult about this?"
Li Muyuan also nodded and said, "Although I have never played it, there are many guides on the Internet. I have read the guides."
"It's different," Zhou Ye said, "I mean, similar."
"Isn't it the same thing?" the Taoist priest asked patiently.
"You don't know," Zhou Ye said feebly, "the ten levels in Ten Days Banquet seem to be virtual, but in fact they can be found in reality. If you have played Ten Days Banquet, you will know,
As the difficulty of the levels increases, the player's degree of freedom in the game will become higher and higher. At the last level, the player even has the opportunity... the opportunity to connect the game with reality, although I don't know the principle behind this.
, but this possibility exists...and our current situation is the result of the infinite expansion of the game world."
"Infinite expansion?"
"Yes," Zhou Ye said, "that is to say, the game becomes reality and reality becomes a game. Our degree of freedom reaches the maximum, which is no different from reality. But at the same time, our death... also becomes easy.
."
Xia Hua gave up understanding and simply asked, "Then what is the way to leave here?"
"I said, the player's freedom is infinite," Zhou Ye said, "The method of cracking is naturally unlimited, and players need to explore on their own... I didn't expect that he actually sent me here...
…”
"Then let's go explore," Xia Hua said, spreading her hands, "What are you waiting for?"
"But you can't leave this room at all?" Zhou Ye looked at the two people on the bed, "There are many dangers here. If you leave them here, they won't survive long."
"That's not a problem, we can take them to the car," Li Muyuan said, "Zhou Ye, according to you, we are in a virtual world now, right?"
"It's not virtual..." Zhou Ye said, "But... I don't know how to explain it. Forget it, just understand it like this."
"Those people who disappeared didn't really disappear, right?" Luo Jiutian asked.
"Of course," Zhou Ye said, "it's just that we can't see them anymore."
"Then can they see us?" Luo Jiutian asked.
"Of course not. We are already in a completely different space," Zhou Ye said. "Don't expect others to save us. No one can save us. The only one who can save us is ourselves."
"As long as you understand this," Xia Hua said, crossing her arms, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's get to work quickly."
"Wait a little longer," Zhou Ye muttered, looking straight into the dark night outside the window, "wait until this wave of danger passes."
"Danger?" Luo Jiutian looked around, "Where is the danger?"
Zhou Ye still stared at that small piece of curtain.
"Coming."
***
filter.
Change.
This is the purpose of the Ten Days Feast.
"Insidious," Xiaolan said viciously after listening to her friends' reasoning, "luckily I still think that game is fun."
"Selecting potential players..." Qin Yin muttered, "I was not chosen, I have no vision."
"Besides spatial ability, can you do anything else?" the fool said.
"Then besides being strong, what else can you do?"
"But I won that game," the fool cocked his neck proudly, looking irritated, "What about you? What level did you pass?"
"None of your business!" Qin Yin was hit in a sore spot and muttered to himself depressedly, "There must be a shady story. I don't believe there is no shady story in this crappy game..."
"Then can we understand it this way," Baomu said, "Uncle Luo and the others are now imprisoned in another dimension. Doesn't this mean that they have entered the game?"
"It makes sense," Xiaolan said. "In this case, the situation will be much better, and the game should not be a problem for them."
"Yes," the fool said loudly, "it's very simple."
Qin Yin was so angry that he turned away and ignored him.
"...Really?..." Wen Ling said with a red face.
"Wen Ling, don't listen to his bragging," Qin Yin hugged Wen Ling's shoulders and said, "He won simply because he didn't touch me."
"But I'm worried that the world they entered... might be an enhanced version of the Ten-Day Banquet," Baomu said. "Besides, no matter how difficult the Ten-Day Banquet is, there are fixed methods to crack it, but Taoist Priest and the others have
This world, maybe... there is no way to escape at all."
After all, the enemy's purpose is to trap them. It is impossible to set a separate switch and they will escape with just one poke.
"Then we have to rush back to help them." Qin Yin became serious and said.
Everyone reached a consensus, and then looked at the baby who had been standing by and listening for a long time.
"Have Wu Ren and Lao Mu not finished talking yet?" the fool asked.
"There's no rush," the baby smiled and nodded, "it's almost over."
"Sister Baobao," Xiaolan leaned over and grabbed one of Baobao's sleeves, "What do you know, please tell us?"
The baby looked down at Xiaolan and suddenly laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Xiaolan asked innocently.
"It's nothing," Baobao waved his hand, "I just think... it's interesting that you call me sister."
"What's the fun in this?" Xiaolan retracted his hand angrily, "Don't you look like a sister?"
"It doesn't matter, you can call it whatever you want," said the baby, "I really have one thing to tell you."
"real?"
"What is it?" Everyone looked over with wide eyes.
"Only one thing," the baby gently stretched out his right index finger, "you can't save them."
Everyone was immediately dumbfounded.
"Save...can't save..."
"How is that possible?!" Qin Yin's face turned green, "You mean... they have already..."
"Ah? No, no, you actually understand it this way?" Baobao laughed at their appearance, "I mean, the world they live in requires their own efforts to escape. Even if you get to the bridge,
I can’t help them, they have to rely on themselves.”
"Then if we also enter that world, we can't help them," Qin Yin said, "There is strength in numbers."
"Since you understand this truth, your enemy also understands it," Bao Bao said, "and he will not let you in."
"Then shall we just wait?" Xiaolan asked anxiously.
"No," the baby's tone was still so calm and gentle, "You have your battlefield."
"Our battlefield?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"Their battlefield is in that world," Bao Bao said, "then yours will naturally be in this world."
Two worlds, fighting together?
"Little God, they are almost finished," the baby turned his head, and the door on the wall slowly appeared, "it's already dawn."
