Chapter 55: Rules of the Game
"Everything is inferior, only reading is high! Although there is no half penny, the article is a treasure!"
Shi'er hid all the sewing kits in his collection, and saw through the gap in the window that Cui Shusheng was busy with a branch on the side of the corridor.
He hurriedly put down the tub and walked down from the attic, the scene in front of him made Shi'er feel a little surprised and a little curious.
The originally empty corridor was entangled by a white scroll more than ten meters long, and the ink of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing was walking in the scroll, Shi'er walked forward slowly, and carefully touched the white paper with his fingers, for fear of damaging it, and the space of the entire corridor was occupied by the white paper and the scroll.
Shi'er bent down slightly, avoiding the white paper around him, when he saw the ink on the white paper, Shi'er would always stop for a while, and look at it curiously, for him who had never read a book, these picture scrolls and articles were rare things.
Shi'er walked very slowly in the corridor surrounded by scrolls, and after walking a few steps, he saw the scholar holding a large pile of white paper in his hand.
Cui Shusheng smiled kindly at Shi'er and bent down, ready to continue posting his Mobao articles that were wet from last night's torrential rain.
"The article is wet, I'll dry it!" Cui Shusheng was about to go around from Shi'er to put the white paper, but suddenly a gust of wind blew over, Cui Shusheng didn't hold it, and saw that his ink treasure was about to fall into the pool, thanks to Shi'er's quick eyes, he immediately jumped to the edge of the pool and gently caught the white paper with his feet to prevent it from getting wet again.
Cui Shusheng leaned over, hurriedly picked up the white paper with the branch in his hand, and Shi'er also retreated.
"Thank you!" Cui Shusheng smiled gratefully at Shi'er.
Shi'er's face has always had an innocent smile like a child, he clenched his fists with both hands, and also learned to look at the latter like Cui Shusheng did before, Xu was infected by the smell of books in the corridor, and suddenly became polite.
Cui Shusheng couldn't laugh or cry at Shi'er's intentional move, but he could see that Shi'er was still quite yearning for literacy and hyphenation.
Shi'er put his hands behind his back and learned to walk as a literati, but before he had taken a few steps, he couldn't hold on anymore, and returned to his original big pace and ran out of the corridor.
Looking at the back of Shi'er leaving, Cui Shusheng's eyes were both appreciative and funny, "What a strange person! But his heart is very good, but unfortunately he is a dumb person! Since he is interested in words, I will teach him some words to recognize some words at some time!
When night falls, everything is silent, the empty house is gloomy during the day, and the terrifying atmosphere is even stronger at night, Cui Shusheng is relatively timid, so he closed the doors and windows early, and he can feel a trace of warmth under the lamp, spread out the dried scrolls, and began to read at night, I have to say, this house is a good place to read, because there is no one around, sparsely populated, and the market is very far away from the house, so there will be no external factors to interfere with his study.
Several people in the hidden space had begun to get impatient because they had been in the space for too long.
"How long are you going to stay here!There's nothing in this place!I'm really going crazy!" Liu Lingfeng grabbed his hair and said angrily.
Wang Xuan's heart was also a little annoyed, but after all, he had done a few tasks, and his mental endurance was naturally much stronger than that of the others.
"Didn't you quarrel with Liu Ting earlier, she had a good quarrel! Why did you get into it at night?" Wang Xuan said with a smile, wanting to relieve the oppressive atmosphere.
"Ahh
The faces of the other two were not very good, but Lao Yan's excitement was still there, after all, the two stone lions outside the house were treasures, and he wished he could stay here longer.
"Don't worry, everyone! Be patient! I think we should be able to get out of this space after the master Yan Chixia of Shi'er appears! After all, letting us out now may ruin the plot of the story! So, I can only temporarily wronged everyone!" Wang Xuan patiently explained.
Liu Ting, who was silent on the side, suddenly said in a cold voice after listening to Wang Xuan's explanation: "From what you said, you can feel that you are very familiar with the relevant settings of this world! I don't think you seem to have come to this kind of world for the first time, what kind of person are you!"
Liu Ting's words immediately made Lao Yan and Liu Lingfeng next to him look at Wang Xuan with suspicion.
Liu Lingfeng also continued, "Hearing you say this, I think about it, from the fog at the beginning to the plot of the white-haired monster, it seems that he is pushing in the middle, and the communication with the clue characters is quite natural, not as rusty as a novice!
"Actually, I seem to have seen him in real life, but I can't remember it!" Lao Yan also had doubts about Wang Xuan's identity.
Now, three to one, Wang Xuan's situation is very unfavorable, which is beyond his expectations, but he didn't expect his kind explanation to reveal his identity, but Wang Xuan naturally can't tell the other three that he is the host of the system, if he says that he will definitely be torn apart by three people, but with the help of ghost hands and ghost pupils, Wang Xuan is not very afraid of the three people, but once he uses ghost hands and ghost pupils, he will definitely see blood, and the ghost hand vampire pupil will swallow it, otherwise there will be the ramp that ran away from the back mountain.
At that time, even if he killed the three of them, he would still be punished by the system, and if he violated the rules of the game, he might be trapped in another world forever, so Wang Xuan didn't dare to try it easily, and the only way to do it now was to make up a reason that would convince the other three.
Wang Xuan's mind began to work wildly, and after a few minutes, the uneasiness in his heart gradually stabilized, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth, because he had already thought of a reason that was enough to convince them.
"Yes! I admit that Liu Ting's analysis is completely correct, and I am indeed not a newcomer! That's why I can communicate with the clue characters without any sense of strangeness at all, as Liu Lingfeng said! However, I don't admit what Lao Yan said, because I have never seen him in real life, how can he know me?" Wang Xuan explained.
Because when Lao Yan and Tian Wen went to step on the point, Wang Xuan was arguing with Xia Hanxi, so he didn't notice the two of them at all, when Wang Xuan took Xia Hanxi into the museum, Lao Yan and the two just left, so the two of them were perfect misses, and the reason why Lao Yan said that did not rule out that he deliberately increased Wang Xuan's suspicion.
Wang Xuan continued to explain: "Let me tell you the truth! This is the third time I have done a mission! Everyone who enters here is a criminal person in real life, and every time a mission is carried out, the system will immediately extract the evil body within the scope of it, and you are my third batch of companions. Entering here, there is a halo on the back of everyone's hand3, which represents the number of our lives, because every different world will have a variety of potential threats, in the process of completing the task, it is inevitable to encounter some unknown dangers, and the number of lives is particularly important at that time! Once the number of lives on the back of my hand reaches zero, not only will I die in another world, but the heartbeat of my body in real life will suddenly stop, similar to a vegetative state, and I will never wake up again! Don't think I'm joking! If you don't believe me, you can give it a try! I once saw a person turn to ashes in front of me because the value on the back of his hand was cleared to zero. If memory serves, Liu Lingfeng only has 2 on the back of his hand, so you'd better be careful in the future plot, otherwise you may be eliminated first. ”
After listening to Wang Xuan's words, several people's faces changed instantly, especially Liu Lingfeng, his face was the most ugly, because he lost an important life because of his recklessness, so he had to be extra careful in the later plots.
Wang Xuan saw that his words had unexpectedly frightened the three of them, and his mood became even calmer, and he continued, "As a veteran who has experienced two missions, those are my kind reminders to you! However, the loss of lives is not a bad thing! Because, whenever someone loses a number of lives, then the system will give a hint to pass a certain plot. For example, in the previous foggy plot, it was because Liu Lingfeng lost a life, so the system would so obviously let the welcoming team constantly appear in front of you, in order to give you a hint. ”
Wang Xuan didn't know if he was right, but combined with his understanding of this system, coupled with some of his own guesses, through language processing, it seemed quite reasonable, and after saying this, Wang Xuan himself admired himself a little.
Liu Ting and the others carefully recalled what Wang Xuan said, Wang Xuan's eyes did not wander when he spoke, and combined with some of the things that happened to several people before, Wang Xuan almost made a perfect explanation, which made the three of them have to believe that everything Wang Xuan said is true.
"Is there any way to increase the number of lives you have!" Liu Lingfeng cast an eager look at Wang Xuan, he didn't want to really die in this place.
This, how do I know? Wang Xuan almost blurted out, embarrassed, thinking holeholes! He coughed, pretending to be profound, "There is no way! The number of lives cannot be recovered, unless it is the next time the game starts." As I said earlier, when a person's life is consumed, the system will give a prompt, so if you want to live and want to get a prompt, there is only one way, to consume other people's lives!"
When Wang Xuan finished saying this, Liu Lingfeng's eyes subconsciously looked at Liu Ting, who was relatively weak, and the latter gave him a look full of coldness.
Wang Xuan added, "The loss of everyone's life must follow the rules of the game, and if you don't consume someone else's life through the storyline, but take some other way, then that person's life will be directly reduced to zero." ”
The more Wang Xuan said it, the more wrong it became, because he felt that these words were all said through his own mouth under the influence of the system, and they were not his own nonsense.
Wang Xuan's words completely dispelled Liu Lingfeng's evil thoughts that flashed just now.
