Chapter 5: No Man's City (2) Game

I finally met another person who seemed to be mentally ill, and I think that the fear in my heart must have been so severe that I could not control it, so that my emotions could be so clearly displayed on my face that the man could understand it, and I must not look very good now.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything, it's just that I'm a little excited to see anyone else in a long time." The man spoke again, his voice had returned to calm and no trembling, and he seemed to have calmed down, "You are really not from the earth, I have been alone for too long, I didn't expect to see real people again." ”

"Real people... Can I ask... The sign of the earthlings you said is that there are real people... What are they? ”

I asked tentatively, with the difference between my size and this man, I definitely can't run, I heard that mental illness also has intermittent onset, and not everyone has violent tendencies, I hope to stabilize this person's emotions and not trigger his violent factor......

"Aren't you stuck in the Endless Room like me? Haven't you seen an earthling? ”

Seeing that I looked dazed, the man pursed his lips and stared at me for a while, under the staring of his narrow eyes, I obviously felt the pressure, uncontrollably nervous, while bearing the pressure of his staring, on the other hand, I had to be careful whether he would suddenly make any moves to hurt me, and my back was covered with a layer of cold sweat just now.

"Now... What year is it? ”

Listening to the man's deep questioning, I obviously felt that his emotions seemed to be a little unstable again, and after hesitating for a while, I decided to tell the truth: "I don't know, maybe it's still 2012... Probably. ”

"In 2012... 20...2012? ”

The man's voice was hoarse and trembling, with a shock of disbelief, as if he had heard something terrible.

That's right, 2012, December 21, 2012, the legendary end of the world. I looked at the man's shocked appearance, and didn't dare to say anything to stimulate him, but silently read this date that I remember in my heart - December 21, 2012.

Wait a minute... December 21st? I must have looked the same as a man now, because I suddenly remembered some details that I had overlooked.

If time starts to repeat itself after walking out of the room, then it should be winter now, but at this temperature, this cicada chirping, it is obviously summer now! Because I don't have to worry about the electricity bill, I keep the air conditioner on in my room, and I don't feel cold in my nightdress, but if it's December 21st, I'd have frozen out in this thin nightdress in winter.

And when I think about it, I remember very well that at 4:59 p.m., it was evening, but now it was the most sunny time in the middle of the day. And from the window of my room, I could see the still crowd outside, but now it was empty.

What's going on? What plane is this?

"Are you new to the Endless Room? New gamer? ”

The man's words brought my train of thought back to the present, and looking at him, I suddenly had a bold guess. He's talking about the new... Has the same happened to anyone before me? Like what... He?

"I encountered a time standstill in my room, and every time I opened the door it was a mirrored room, maybe the endless room you were talking about? I've been stuck there for a long time and didn't come out of my room until today. You just said that the game... What is the meaning? ”

The man glanced at me, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Come out? You think you've come out of the room? ”

"Isn't it? I'm outside now. ”

I looked at the man's appearance, and a bad premonition suddenly welled up in my heart.

"No, you're still in the room, it's not the real world, or maybe it's real, but it's not ours."

"Still... In the room? ”

I listened to the man's deep and serious voice, and although I had suspected that he was a psychopath, I suddenly remembered that such a thing as a room where time stands still and is infinitely replicated, if someone had told me this before, I would have also regarded this person as mentally ill. However, the one I have experienced has clearly taught me that all this is true.

What the man who spoke out of the Endless Room is also true.

I suddenly felt a little dizzy, I don't know if it was because the midday sun was too hot, but even in this scorching sun, I still felt the cold spreading from my spine to my limbs.

"So you don't know anything? It didn't tell you? ”

Perhaps the confusion on my face was too obvious, or maybe he already had his own speculation and already knew what kind of answer I would give, so he didn't feel surprised by my silence, but just continued.

"Or haven't you spoken to it yet? Was this your first game? ”

It? What is it? Male or female? Hell of it, the only living thing I've seen since that time stopped is you.

"I don't think I know who you mean by 'it', and I don't know what you mean by game, is everything I'm experiencing now a game?"

"Games? yes, it's a game. ”

The man's voice was very gentle, and the deep voice was supposed to be a relaxing tone, but I somehow heard a desperate death in it, an ominous premonition rising from the bottom of my heart, and there was a kind of evasive resistance to his next words, but I couldn't discern a trace of other thoughts, so I could only listen to him.

"It's just that if you fail the game, you will die."

Lips half-parted trembled twice, I wanted to say something but still didn't say anything, my heart was beating fast in my chest, and a burst of palpitations made me a little overwhelmed, I raised my hand and held the pendant inside through the nightgown to stabilize my mind, and then I said: "Game... If this were a game, who would have the ability to create such a space? Is that what you're talking about? Who the hell is it? What do you mean by still being in the room? ”

The man pursed his lips and let out a long breath: "Here... As I said, this is not our world, but it was created by it. It has the ability to control time and space, and create time and space. This is the room it created, a square area with invisible walls at the edge of this area, which cannot be broken or penetrated, and we are all placed here, and only by winning the game can we return to the room where we were trapped. And it... It is the earth in our mouths, and the earth has its own consciousness. ”

"Earth... Have a consciousness of your own? I subconsciously repeated this astonishing message, which was so ridiculous that I didn't feel any real thing, but what about what I've experienced so far that made me feel real? No matter how ridiculous it was, I knew in my heart that it might be true.

"So, is there a way to leave the endless room and return to our real world?" I asked the man, and suddenly knowing that I was in danger and could have lost my life was really not a good experience. I have long said that I am a coward, and I am afraid of death, so I will try my best to live.

"The way back? Yes. Saying this, the man's eyelids drooped slightly, and his voice became more muffled, with remembrance, determination, remembrance or whatever, the feelings in this voice were too complicated, and I couldn't read it: "Live, keep living, and the person who lives to the end can leave here and return to reality." ”

Will you live...... This is really the simplest and most difficult condition.

Listening to what this man had just said, it seemed that he had been in the Endless Room for a long time, and might be able to provide more useful information. But he had just followed me and tried to approach me from behind, and I wonder if he had any purpose. This person really... Can you believe it?

"The first game is just to familiarize new gamers with the rules of the game, and the difficulty is very low, so you don't have to worry too much about it for a while. And the game is generally multiplayer, the area of the game room is large, and the others should be scattered in other locations. It's easier to win the game when everyone gets together, so let's go find someone else. ”

On the surface I didn't see anything unusual or motive about the man, it really seemed like he just happened to meet me and I was going to help me through the game. However, I still haven't forgotten what happened just now, and the feeling of being watched made me believe that he definitely had bad intentions. So... All that is left is to obey him for the time being and think of him as a snake......

"Okay, let's go together. By the way, my name is Mo Li, and I don't know what to call you. ”

I pretended to look down at the road to avoid looking directly at him, but in fact I was hiding my eyes to observe his shoulders and crotch, it is said that when people have movements, the first thing to move is the shoulder, although I don't know if it's true or fake, but at this time, I can only hope to observe the shoulder to judge that the action really works.

The man was stunned for a moment, as if I had asked a very difficult question to answer, and I vigilantly secretly observed him who suddenly fell silent, only to hear his calm voice without emotion: "I... Just call me Wolffang. ”

Spike? Could this be the real name? I don't believe it!
