Chapter 31: Being and Not Being
Three days later, Ye Qingmian was at home.
Ye Qingsha has no news, as if she has disappeared from the world, Ye Qingmian has nothing to do. Playing with the reincarnation badge in his hand, he was considering whether to exchange it for huge wealth and power to help him find Ye Qingsha. But there always seems to be a consciousness telling himself that Ye Qingsha is very safe, which is really inexplicable.
"It's so boring, Lao Ye, when can I go out, I'm about to suffocate. Yu Hanzi exuded a strong smell of alcohol, lying on the sofa, shouting with his eyes closed.
"Try not to go out if you can, I feel like we're being targeted, and although there is no actual evidence, don't take any chances. Isn't there still wine at home?" Ye Qingmian thought that as long as there was wine, Yu Hanzi would be able to live.
"But my aunt and grandmother have been eating instant noodles for several days. Braised beef noodles in the morning, braised beef noodles at noon, braised beef noodles in the evening, I'm going to die!"
"I still have Laotan sauerkraut here, or not?" Ye Qingmian said indifferently, but it caused a roar to roll.
Yu Hanzi wailed on the side, and when he finally shouted tired, when he saw Ye Qingmian, he finally found something interesting. Ye Qingmian was holding a little rabbit, trying to stuff it in his arms and keep it quiet. "Eat this?"
When Ye Qingmian heard this, he felt a chill, it seemed that he was about to call for takeout, and continued to feed Yu Hanzi instant noodles, it was difficult to ensure that the rabbit would not be burned in the next moment. "Don't fight this rabbit idea, I'm doing experiments, I just bought it. ”
"So cruel?!"
"Bastard, you see the rabbit drooling, who is cruel?" Ye Qingmian was nervously picked up by Yu Hanzi and half frightened, "Today should be the day to enter the reincarnation game for the second time, I want to try to see if I can bring other creatures in the case of direct contact." ”
"What can I do if I bring it in or not?" asked Yu Hanzi.
"It's just an attempt to try to understand the reincarnation space, and I want to see if I can bring the creatures selected from the non-reincarnation game into the reincarnation game. If the rabbit can show up then, it will prove that things are possible. ”
"Not bad, not bad, a good boy who has the courage to forge ahead. Do you have any other ideas?" asked Yu Hanzi uninterestedly.
"Yes, if we had physical contact, for example, would we be in the same game?"
"Interesting, try it, if it works, I'll have a thigh hug in the future." Yu Hanzi watched Ye Qingmian tossing there with interest, and suddenly found a camera next to him, "What is this camera for?"
"Filming what happened after we left. ”
"After leaving? do you mean after entering the reincarnation game?"
"yes. Ye Qingmian narrowed his eyes, "When you enter the reincarnation game, all the traces of the existence of the chosen ones will be erased, disappear from all textual, archive, audio and video records in the world, disappear from the memories of all the people you have come into contact with, and disappear from the long river of history. If he is eliminated in the game of reincarnation, everything that he has ever existed is gone. But what about the victors? According to the Gray House Notice, when the victors return, all traces of erasure will be restored. People's lost memories will be restored, the forgotten people will be remembered again, and the written and archived records will be recreated. ”
"Yes, is there any problem?" Yu Hanzi was puzzled.
"There is a problem, of course there is a problem, and it is a big problem. Ye Qingmian looked ahead with empty eyes, as if all his energy was thinking about something. "If I enter the game of reincarnation, the game of reincarnation lasts from 12 noon to 6 p.m. Then in these 6 hours, but for this world, I do not exist, because I disappeared in this world, and with it all traces of me were erased. But if I return victoriously, the traces of my erasure are restored, people have memories of me again, and my records reappear in society. So for the world, I'm there from 12 noon to 6 p.m. So in the period from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock, am I still there or not?"
"It's... You're sick!Isn't it okay to find something for yourself?" Yu Hanzi pondered for a moment, feeling that he was confused by Ye Qingmian. "But that's a good question..."
"So I'm going to use the camera to record the footage of us leaving, and I'm curious to see if there will be another me, in my place, to complete a life, and when I return, I will transmit that memory to everyone involved. ”
"If this 'me' really exists, then in what form does it exist? The first experience was when we went from the café into the game of reincarnation, and when the game was over, we were in the same place. But if I'm in the airport lounge before I enter the reincarnation game, I'm going to be very Beijing from Hangzhou. Before boarding, the reincarnation game begins. So after the reincarnation game, will I show up in the waiting hall in Hangzhou, or BJ?"
"If I win in the game of reincarnation, then I still exist in the world, which means that my traces here will continue, then historically, I will board the plane and arrive at BJ at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. So I should be in BJ. But let's say the plane crashes and all the passengers are killed, and 'I' is one of the dead. And then I come back to the world at 6 o'clock, where will I be? Am I alive or dead?"
"Shut up the old lady. Yu Hanzi rubbed his temples and shouted, "I'm about to be vomited by you, can you be more simple and less routine." ”
"If the 'me' I guessed doesn't exist, then what am I doing in the history of the period from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock?" Ye Qingmian ignored Yu Hanzi's complaints, and began to talk to himself, while finding multiple cameras and starting to place them in various corners of the room. "I've already made an appointment with a few of my classmates to leave for a spring outing in a while, and I want to see what kind of surprises the video will give me when I come back again. ”
Yu Hanzi was originally full of wine and alcohol, but he became more and more sober by Ye Qingmian's words, and his body, which was not warm in early spring, began to chill a little, "Listening to you say this, how do I think our existence is so casual, as if it can be modified and manipulated." ”
"yes, it's like a cage. We are trapped, controlled, watched, and indulged. Ye Qingmian looked up at the window, the total solar eclipse was about to begin.
turned on all the cameras in the house, grabbed the rabbit with his right hand, and grabbed Yu Hanzi's hand with his left hand.
"Don't pull me, what if you run into a game where only one person can pass the game?" Yu Hanzi said and was about to shake off Ye Qingmian, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it, it seems that having a thigh hug is always reassuring.
The sun in the sky was gradually covered, the light began to be obscured, the darkness in the sky began to expand, the world began to lose color, everything was dilapidated like old painting paper, slowly withering the brightness of the landscape, and black, white and gray soon took over.
With darkness in front of him, Ye Qingmian began to lose consciousness, and he knew that the second round of primaries had begun.
When the light appeared in front of him again, Ye Qingmian found himself on an ancient and huge pirate ship, surrounded by an endless sea, silent and blue. The sky is cloudless, and the bright sun shines on the intoxicating warmth.
This scene is somewhat inexplicable, Ye Qingmian was a little surprised, surrounded by an endless ocean, there were five people on board, and Yu Hanzi was standing next to him holding hands. It seems that the experiment was successful, and sure enough, both of them are the chosen ones of the reincarnation game, and they will be sent to the same scene in the case of physical contact. Of course, this requires multiple tests to ensure the accuracy of the results.
The rabbit in Ye Qingmian's right hand is gone, and it seems that the creatures of the original world can't be brought in. Ye Qingmian was thinking about whether to use a non-selected person to do the test next time.
Now Ye Qingmian's only worry is the rules of passing in this case, if Ye Qingsha also encounters the same level, can she pass it safely? She should be okay now? Now she should also enter the second round, will she pass it smoothly?
After confirming that Yu Hanzi was by his side, Ye Qingmian let go of his hand as soon as possible, and opened the distance between him and Yu Hanzi, his indifferent and cautious face made it seem that the two did not seem to know each other.
Although Yu Hanzi, who was a little sluggish, he also understood that the acquaintance of the two could not be revealed. Once it is known by others, I am afraid that it will be the first to be targeted.
Ye Qingmian observed three other strangers, two men and one woman. The two men, like themselves, cautious and serious, frowned slightly, and did not say much, scrutinizing every detail of the ship, and occasionally sweeping their gaze over themselves. And the woman, whose face was full of youthful energy, looked less than 20 years old, looked relaxed in casual clothes, admiring the retro pirate ship like a landscape, and did not have the slightest worry about what she was about to face.
A blue ball of light lit up on the deck, and Ye Qingmian knew that it was finally time to state the rules, and found that the young woman's gaze was looking at her, and Ye Qingmian smiled at her in response.
"You have grabbed 100 gold coins, and you will propose the distribution of the gold coins in order. After the sound of the ball of light ended, the heads of the five people on the pirate ship lit up in turn.
The number on the head of the woman with a casual face is 1, the numbers of the two strange men are 2 and 3 respectively, Yu Hanzi's number is 4, and Ye Qingmian is 5.
"Oh no, it can't be a pirate trick, right?" said No. 2 with a-eaten expression on his face, looking at No. 1 with great melancholy.
"No, if that's the case, it's doomed to win or lose. No. 3 seemed relatively calm, but Ye Qingmian could see that there was worry in his eyes that could not be hidden.
Sure enough, the statement after the ball of light verified the uneasiness in the hearts of several people present.
"First the number 1 proposes the distribution plan, then the 5 people vote, and the plan agreed by more than half is passed, otherwise he will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, and so on. After 1 hour, the game begins, and each round is divided into two parts, the proposal time and the voting time, each 10 minutes each. After the end of each round of proposals, the voting order is 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Those who did not vote during the voting period were eliminated. ”
With the statement of the ball of light, a striking countdown is reflected on the huge sail.
"This is one of the few levels where everyone has a chance to survive, and I hope you all can make it to the next level. At the end of this level, you can exchange the gold coins you get for reincarnation badges, and each gold coin can be exchanged for one badge. Any violence is prohibited during the game, and violators will be eliminated. During the game, any cooperative alliance behavior is prohibited, and violators will be eliminated. After the first round of voting began, everyone was silenced, and violators were eliminated. ”
