It was almost at the fork in the road, but the poker master stopped.

Because there was a man standing right at the fork in the road.

"Is that you? What are you doing here? Lord Poker asked.

"I, I don't know, I just feel too stuffy, I can't breathe, but I have nowhere to go." The person said timidly.

But there was a faint excitement on his face, as if he was happy to meet Master Poker.

"You're just in time." Master Poker walked over to the person without saying anything, "I was about to go to you." ”

The person who came was none other than the Chimera rat.

"Looking for me?" He said suspiciously.

"Yes, yes." Master Poker grabbed him by the shoulder, "I need your help in an emergency." ”

"Help? But like me, can something like this help you? The Chimera rat was even more confused.

"Yes, sure." Master Poker slammed his hand and said, "Let's go, we don't have much time, I'll tell you the details on the way." ”

"Okay." The Chimera rat agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Because for all the time of the Chimera's life, only Master Poker regarded him as a human being.

Only Master Poker has ever told him that you're not a monster.

So in his heart, he has long regarded Lord Poker as a god.

"Right ahead." After Mr. Poker finished speaking, he began to gallop forward.

"Okay." The Chimera Rat followed closely behind Master Poker.

An unprecedented sensation instantly filled his whole body.

It was an indescribable feeling, at least not with the poor vocabulary of the Chimera rat.

The galloping Chimera Rat just felt comfortable all over his body, and his heart was very relaxed, which was a feeling of running towards freedom.

"To put it simply...... Master Poker said as he ran, "it takes four people to open the door, and there are only three of us." ”

After saying this, Master Poker wanted to add a few more words, but he found it difficult to describe something, so he had to give up, and wait until he reached the hut.

So the two ran silently.

Soon, a small house appeared in front of the two.

The Chimera Rat felt that this hut was similar to the one he lived in, only more elaborate and luxurious, as if it had been built with various precious stones.

"We're here." Master Poker said.

There were also two people standing in front of the hut.

"These two are my friends, Ziqi and Lingling." Master Poker paused and introduced the Chimera Rat.

"Ah, hello." The Chimera Rat walked up to the two of them and said timidly.

I've never met so many people at the same time, and how would they see themselves?

The Chimera rat has no bottom in his heart.

"Hello." The spirit smiled in return, and there was nothing unnatural.

"Hello." Ziqi's expression was not unusual.

The Chimera's heart gradually relaxed.

"Lord Poker, you're too fast, aren't you? Only five minutes passed. Lingling said.

"Luckily, I saw him just a short time away."

"Oh, I see."

"Alright, this is the house, it takes four people to open it." Master Poker said as he walked to the door, "What you're going to do is very simple, I'll show you how to do it." ”

"Oh, good." The Chimera rat nodded repeatedly.

Master Poker pressed his hands on the ruby door at the same time, and the image that had been repeated once appeared on the pale green window.

But this time was different from the previous two times, this time the vicious dog was extremely fierce, almost like an angry beast. In her frenzied pursuit, the hen was threatened much more than the previous two times, and she ran so fast that even the feathers on her wings fell off one after another, and she lay down on the container without a moment's delay, and laid an egg in an instant.

"Alright, alright." Ziqi was stunned.

A strange thought popped into his head that it was a role-playing game.

The game begins when the player presses their hands on the door, and the aim of the game is to force the poor hen to lay eggs, and the player's role in this game seems to be that vicious dog?

The strength of the player's own strength determines the ferocity of the vicious dog, and he is very weak, so the vicious dog is also weak, so weak that the hen can wander around looking for a place to lay eggs.

And the poker master is obviously much stronger, so the vicious dog is extremely vicious, forcing the poor hen to complete the task against time.

"So fast?" The poker adults themselves were surprised.

"Hmm." Ling Ling nodded and said, "There are already three eggs, Lord Poker, you can let go." ”

"Okay."

Master Poker walks towards the Chimera Mouse.

"See, right? Just put your hands on the door of the hut and you're good to go. It takes four people, but fortunately I found you, so I'll ask you next. ”

"Okay."

The Chimera Rat said as he walked towards the small door.

He heard Master Poker's words very clearly, but the clearest thing was this one, "It takes four people." ”

He was nervous, and his heart was beating non-stop.

The three mirrors that surrounded the path mercilessly imprinted his image on it, and he glanced at it casually as he walked.

What an image that is.

Although he has two hands in the mirror that are no different from ordinary people, and it is not strange to look at body parts, he always has a strange head on his head.

A head indistinguishable from a mouse!

Yourself, can you really accomplish your goals?

The Chimera Rat was not sure, because he knew that it was a game that only humans could start.

Here's the question, are you really human?

No one but poker adults treat themselves as human beings, and although poker adults are sure of themselves, they are never sure.

Mirror.

The ubiquitous mirror is like a never-ending mantra in the ear, forever repeating a cold and clear word to yourself.

You're a Chimera rat!

The door to the hut was within reach, but the Chimera rat was afraid.

The two voices constantly clashed in their heads.

A voice said, don't be afraid, put your hand on it. Master Poker has said you're human.

Another voice instantly rang out, hum, that doesn't work, all you get when you put your hands on it is disappointment, because you're a monster.

Nonsense! I am human. Poker adults have said I'm human.

Hmph, why don't you take a look in the mirror? Take a good look at what you are!

It's an illusion, an illusion, and I'm just like him in the eyes of poker adults.

Hmph, that's not an illusion, that's the truth. Because you'll never know what you'll look like in the eyes of others other than in the mirror.

That's an illusion......

Hmph, well, that's an illusion. If you think you can make yourself better, then go ahead and do it, but don't put your hands on it.

Why?

Hmph, why? Isn't that obvious? Once you put your hands on them, you will immediately know that you are different from people, and you will never be able to continue dreaming.

I am human, I am human......

Hmph, don't lie to yourself, look at the image in the mirror, is that a person? You know, there are no psychedelic flowers on this path!

……

For a long time, the Chimera rat couldn't even raise his hands, as if it was the most difficult thing in the world.

It was the hardest time of his life.

Of course, he longed for answers, but at the same time he was afraid of them.

"Just put your hand on it." Seeing that the Chimera rat hesitated, Ling Ling said softly.

"Really, really?" The Chimera turned its head, and his eyes were full of confusion.

Through the confusion, you can also feel a longing, a longing for affirmation.

"Of course." Lingling smiled brightly.

"Okay." As if greatly encouraged, the Chimera rat raised its hands in an instant, and was about to touch the dazzling shell of the ruby.

Just then, that nasty voice rang out again.

Hmph, are you really going to do this? Isn't it good to live with hope?

You can continue to think of yourself as human and live with peace of mind. But what do you do when nothing happens when your hands touch that door?

Do you still have the courage to live?

Do you still have hope for survival?

Ling Ling and Ziqi didn't understand the situation, they just saw that the person in front of them hesitated again, they didn't understand how difficult it was to put their hands on the door at all.

But there is one person who understands.

The poker master instantly understood what the Chimera Rat was worried about.

He took a step forward, and then shouted, "Trust me, you're human!" People just like us! ”

These words were like a thunderclap in the mind of the Chimera Mouse, and like a clear spring that moistened his already dry heart.

He was no longer flustered, no longer afraid, and his hands were pressed tightly against the small ruby door.

It's slippery, it's cool, but it's comfortable.

He was willing to trade everything he had for a desired outcome.

This result was not long in coming.

Vicious dogs, hens, long and narrow containers, round eggs.

There is no doubt about it, he is human!

A crisp piece of music immediately emanates from the hut, and the game finally begins.

A new image appeared on the boxy screen.

"This, I'm better at this, let me do it." Ziqi shouted excitedly.

I can finally make a difference, because the picture on the screen is extremely familiar.

This is a legendary game that has been popular for more than 200 years and is still being played by many people today.

Tetris.

Despite the fact that there are new generations of gaming devices, although the game graphics are constantly leaping forward, and although many games have long since disappeared into the long river of history, some things will not fade with time.

A classic is a classic, and Ziqi is also a Tetris fanatic, and before his crystal was smashed, he didn't know how many days and nights he contributed to this game.

Stepping on the familiar and pleasant music, Ziqi came to the window and quickly pressed "START" with one hand.

"Thank you, let's enjoy Jiang Gongzi's heroism together." Master Poker said to the Chimera Rat with a smile.
