Chapter 42: Never-ending
Doodoooooo β
Gu Qinghan was still waiting for Ta Luolan's answer, and the darkness suddenly covered all the vision again, and in a daze, the phone suddenly rang.
Gu Qinghan regained control of his body and rubbed his eyes instinctively.
He saw the scene in front of him, a room with gray tones.
Leaning against the couch, a layer of shredded paper scattered underneath him.
The heavy smell of blood on his body rushed straight to his nose.
"What kind of place is this?" he patted his face and said to himself, "Isn't it a classroom, it's out of the academy?" β
He wanted to figure out what was going on, but he didn't know where to start.
The phone is still ringing, and I can't get tired of it.
After hesitating for a moment, he got up and walked to the windowsill, where he saw vague pedestrians walking slowly downstairs.
In a staggering gesture.
At the same time, he noticed that at the end of the street, there were several people "lying" on the ground.
Looking around, Gu Qinghan didn't know what he was waiting for.
Most of what is happening so far is also easy to understand, but this unpredictable situation makes him puzzled. The former can temporarily understand that he is trapped in a situation that exists in "refutation", but the latter cannot analyze it, and these strange separated worlds are like movies and novels, without rules and order.
Gu Qinghan's thoughts were interrupted for a moment, because he saw the people on the other side of the street who had not moved getting up.
"So..."
Looking ahead, a man dressed as a sanitation worker staggered to his feet.
A couple of people trotted over from the other side, with headsets.
The crowd gathered and walked towards the middle of the road.
He turned his head slightly and saw a figure standing behind him.
"You..."Gu Qinghan opened his mouth in astonishment, and the next moment his sight was blocked by the bloody mouth.
Doodoooooo β
The phone rang again, at the same point in time.
Incomprehensible noises emerge along with the sound of breathing.
Gu Qinghan frowned and got up, stepped on the debris under his feet, and turned his head to look at the faintly gray sky.
Another reincarnation.
Can't waste time like this anymore, Gu Qinghan said into the room: "Okay, what do you want to do, Scp-3999?" β
Toot Toot Toot β
The only thing that answered him was the constant ringing of the phone, as if urging him to pick it up.
He glanced at the phone, which didn't even have a line of communication to connect to. Spit out turbidity, Gu Qinghan's eyes became impatient, he still had to go to Tomie for a meal...
Well????
What is he looking for Tomie?
Ignoring the still-disturbing bells, the windows were pushed open and the strange pedestrians walked slowly along the road.
He glanced at the time, 1:27:12 p.m.
What the hell is the point of all this?
Thinking back to the man who had just appeared behind him, he quickly left the windowsill again, walked through the hallway, and came to the living room.
The gate is facing itself, in a state of concealment.
Yes, I was killed by this thing last time?
While complaining, he stepped forward to close the door and lock it again, and there was a sudden commotion downstairs.
The main road, which was originally not crowded with many people, is indeed full of vehicles at the moment, and it seems to be extremely congested. There seemed to be a riot outside, and some drivers fled from their cars, their expressions frightened as if they had seen some extremely terrifying existence.
The streets below began to be chaotic, and people continued to fall, only to stiffen up after a while, chasing the other humans, knocking them down and eating them.
The miserable screams of women and children, the crashing of vehicles, the roars of monsters, the chaos and noise all mingled.
Gu Qinghan turned his head sideways, looking into the distance through the glass.
The other side of the city began to crumble.
He turned his head a little blessedly, but he didn't see the strange figure standing behind him.
"So... I skipped the point of closing the door to kill, didn't I? β
Gu Qinghan thought so, and at the same time ignored that there was an adult woman downstairs, threw away the high heels that were in the way, and crawled barefoot towards the floor where he was.
"What the hell is this trying to tell me, nonsensical worldview, cracking the game?"
[He thinks, not noticing that danger is approaching]
A female voice suddenly exploded in her head.
"What's that?" Gu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, and a bloody arm wrapped around his neck.
[He dies again, poor worm]
Toot Toot Toot β
The familiar telephone ringing woke him up from suffocation, and Gu Qinghan opened his eyes.
"Okay, you can play, you really know how to play."
Rubbing his aching head, this time he didn't get up immediately, but looked down at the confetti.
"It's not so bloody, is it..."Gu Qinghan muttered to himself, picked up all the confetti, and spent a few minutes piecing them together.
[Help, I admit defeat]
It's his own handwriting.
Gu Qinghan silently crumpled the confetti into a hemp ball and threw it behind him.
"This is the cheat! Playing the butterfly effect is still Inception! Once at a time, you don't get bored! β
After roaring for more than ten seconds, he fell back onto the couch in resignation, staring at the wall in front of him with a blank stare.
"What exactly do you want to do, and will this behavior have any specific significance?"
γRequired for testγ
"What trial? On how many times can humans endure death? You're from the former Soviet Union, right, sister? β
Not surprised by the sound in his head, Gu Qinghan came to the bedroom from the living room, and faced with the situation that had been repeated twice, he locked the windowsill and sat back on the sofa.
"Tsk, it reminds me of when I played the puzzle game in elementary school, and it was called a first ten big."
He looked at the pendulum on the wall, and the time came to 1:27:12 p.m.
"Great Lord of Time! Give me strength! β
After staring at it for a long time, Gu Qinghan yelled for no reason.
There was no sneer and nothing really popped out of the pendulum, and the man, who had not received any response, shrugged his shoulders and sank into the couch.
Screams and cries came from downstairs or from all corners of the city. Blood and explosions punctuate the dull time, but make him feel bored.
"If only Billy were here." Gu Qinghan suddenly said.
"So that we can take off his wooden head and use it as a racket."
Then the room returned to dead silence again.
It wasn't until the door of the entrance was pushed open and the foul smell came to his ears that he remembered that he had forgotten something.
Sharp pain came from the back of the head.
Doodoooooo β
"Lao Tzu plays with your stars..."
He woke up from the couch.
Fourth.
Eyes take their eyes off the confetti and land on the phone.
"Tsk... I forgot to lock the door, and I'm dead again. β
Rubbing his hair irritably, this time he finally focused on the telephone.
β¦β¦
"Look, I'll just say he'll be tempted to answer that call."
In the second-year library of the college, a man in uniform picked up a tea set, and judging from the name card he wore on his left chest, he could clearly know his name - Talolan.
"Heh... Bastard. Yu Zhiqiu didn't touch the black tea on his table, but kept bending and straightening the iron spoon, repeating it several times.
"As long as he picks up the call, the world will keep him completely, and there's nothing you can do to get him out of the shackles of Scp-3999."
The girl spat at him, looking at Talloran with extreme disgust and disdain, "Then let's see who loses." β
