Chapter 250: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Paths
"That'...... That one. β
In the mist, someone said timidly.
Hearing this, Bering glanced behind him.
Thanks to the seal, the white mist was now much less obstructive to their vision. So it's easy for them to see the person behind the fog.
It was a modest girl with long braids and black-rimmed glasses on her face, with lenses as thick as beer bottles.
She looked cramped, her hands folded uncomfortably over her chest, her braids diagonally to the side.
From the outside, this looks like an academic girl who is immersed in learning and completely ignores the outside world. Although there is a bit of stereotype, there is no doubt that her simple appearance and simple eyes are deepening the impression of "harmless to humans and animals".
However, none of the people present were ordinary people.
Needless to say, at least Xu Zhongxing and Xiao Liu were vigilant in their hearts as soon as they saw this girl.
They glanced at each other imperceptibly, and soon saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
This guy in front of you...... Something suspicious!
As an old man in the countermeasures bureau, Xu Zhongxing has experienced more things and doubted more. Even if he saw Bering, he didn't really trust him all at the beginning. It was still in the aftermath that he gradually confirmed that Bering was not an accomplice of Paradise.
And Xiao Liu ...... As a professional, she was taught in school to keep an eye on everything.
In fact, she did. Up to now, she has rarely expressed her opinions, mainly watching and listening more, and only occasionally has a disagreement with Xu Zhongxing. Most of the time, she is willing to follow Captain Xu's arrangement, which is a valuable experience taught to her by the class.
On the battlefield against xenomorphs, experience is more important than anything else.
So when they saw the girl in front of them, Xu Zhongxing and Xiao Liu didn't move.
They just silently watched the girl approach, neither stopping nor accepting, but watching and examining with cold eyes.
On the other hand, the girl was probably a little "scared".
Her hands trembled slightly, and even her voice trembled a little: "I...... I heard your voices before, and I thought there were people like me, so I came here to take a look. No...... I didn't mean to scare you. β
"My name is 'Han Jing', and I ...... It's a student at Yanzhou No. 1 Middle School," the girl said in a trembling voice, "This is my student ID card......"
As she spoke, she held up a document in both hands and motioned for the three to show it.
After Xu Zhongxing glanced at it, he nodded slowly: "This is indeed the student ID of Yanzhou No. 1 Middle School." β
His friend's children go to Yanzhou No. 1 Middle School, and he knows that the school's certificates are only available to students and teachers, and it is quite difficult to forge them - nowadays, in order to prevent the threat of different species, many documents must be made with the countermeasures bureau, so there may be some "small means" on the documents that the parties do not know.
And Xu Zhongxing did see the "anti-counterfeiting logo" on this document.
At least this can prove that there is indeed a person named "Han Jing" in Yanzhou No. 1 Middle School. But whether this "Han Jing" is the original "Han Jing" or not, it's hard to say.
Thinking so, Xu Zhongxing turned his head and glanced at Bering.
And Bering still carried out the methods he had been using all along, with a expressionless face, like a statue.
On the other side, the girl Han Jing probably noticed the disbelief of the three people in front of her, and her voice trembled more and more: "I ...... just now I heard your conversation. Ah, I didn't mean to hear it, but there was no one else here but you, so I accidentally heard ......"
She fingers stirred her clothes: "You just said that someone may have been replaced, I don't think I have ...... is replaced. Because you guys are talking about replacing it with a game facility. But I haven't played a single facility until now, and my brother has always operated it......"
Speaking of this, Han Jing's eyes were a little dark: "I haven't exchanged my game currency either, I heard from the loudspeaker that if you exchange it for someone who exists, there will be a 'fog' sign on the inside of your elbow." This means that a part of you has been swapped and a part of your being is missing. When the presence is completely gone, the fog will ...... Devour people. β
As she spoke, she lifted her sleeves to reveal her smooth and white arms.
Xu Zhongxing and Xiao Liu could see it clearly, just as Han Jing said, there was not a trace of her arm.
And they ......
All three slowly lifted their sleeves.
Not surprisingly, they saw a similar sign on their arms.
Pulling down his sleeves, although he still didn't fully believe it, Xu Zhongxing was at least a little kinder: "Classmate Han, right?" You said that you are Yanzhou No. 1 Middle School, so do you know xxx? β
It was the name of a class teacher in Yanzhou No. 1 Middle School, and he was a little celebrity in that school. Of course, if you are not a student in the school, someone who has not been in the school for a while, you will never know the name.
It's as if what is in a small circle will only circulate in the circle, and people outside the circle will basically not know about it.
Han Jing was slightly stunned when she heard this: "I've heard of it, but she didn't lead our class, so I haven't seen it much." β
After hearing this, Xu Zhongxing bowed slightly.
A lot of things can be right, and it doesn't look like a monster. After all, there is no way for a monster to take classes in Yanzhou No. 1 Middle School, let alone stay for such a long time and write down an insignificant teacher.
Now the question is, is the other party being "replaced"?
There is no way to verify this issue.
To be honest, the question of whether you are "yourself" or not is actually difficult to prove if you are not familiar with it.
This is also why Bering can only mention the other two people, and cannot use the ability to predict the future to find out little by little.
It will take a long time to get used to it, but if you don't know each other well, then the ghost knows if the other person is abnormal. You may know what music your parents like to listen to, but you will never know what your neighbor's dog likes to mix with.
Again, this is based on the sillier and simpler example of a replacement, and if a replacementist is very thoughtful and intelligent, it may only take a few minutes for him/her to be able to wrap himself or herself as exactly like the original person. In this case, it is difficult to tell if you are not a close relative, but only a friend.
The "replacement" of memories is such a complicated thing.
"And you can't leave it alone," Xu Zhongxing sighed, "If she is replaced, then you have to watch her closely and prevent her from doing bad things in secret." After all, enemies on the surface are at least easier to detect than enemies in hiding. β
If not......
So as a person from the countermeasures bureau, Xu Zhongxing definitely can't leave ordinary citizens alone.
So in the final analysis, it is best to keep this person by your side.
Thinking so, Xu Zhongxing turned his head and glanced at Bering.
He was actually more worried about Bering's opinion.
According to Xu Zhongxing's thoughts, Bering is a person who does not hesitate to give up everything in order to save his "sister". At such a time, if a burden is added, will he agree with it?
When his gaze rested on Bering.
Bai Ling also turned his head and glanced at Han Jing in front of him.
"According to you, you weren't alone in the first place?" He asked, "What about the man with you?" Where is he now? β
Hearing this, Han Jing's face became more and more sad.
He ...... was replaced," Han Jing's voice was bitter, "to protect me." β
"Although we didn't know about it at first, my brother felt that exchanging existence for currency was not a good thing no matter how you looked at it. So he decided to rely on him for everything and not let me into the facility. β
Han Jing: "At the beginning, my brother will win a lot, according to the words on the loudspeaker, we only need to win three times more before we can leave this paradise." But then, things went wrong. My brother kept losing, losing, and losing until the end, not only did he throw all the coins he won, but he ...... even himself."
At the end, Han Jing's voice choked.
She covered her face, as if she couldn't bear to continue.
Such an expression made Xu Zhongxing and Xiao Liu soften their attitudes a little after seeing it.
Anyway, at least for now, Han Jing still has a human face. With the personalities of Xiao Liu and Xu Zhongxing, it is naturally impossible to be so hard-hearted that they do not react.
With a sigh, Xu Zhongxing said, "I understand." So, what do you want to do? β
Hearing this, Han Jing sobbed and said, "I...... I just want to win my brother back. β
"I don't have the luxury of leaving this place, we probably won't be able to leave this place for the rest of our lives," she whispered, "so I won't do anything to you, all I want is to win my brother backβeven if the two of us have to reincarnate in this place, that's my only wish." β
"So my request is, if you want to enter any facility, just tell me a little bit about your experience, I won't ask for your coins, all I want is to listen to your analysis, because my brain is not particularly good, if I just go in, I can't win......"
She stretched out her hand and revealed a seal: "And I also have this thing, and it is because of it that I am able to walk through the white mist." I can give it to you if you need it......"
Hearing this, Xu Zhongxing's originally vigilant heart let go a little again.
This condition can be said to be very harmless.
Han Jing doesn't influence their actions, but just wants to listen to their analysis, which can almost be said to make her a "stone" who can't have an impact on them.
If it is really a "ghost", then it will inevitably encourage them to participate more, or put forward those opinions that seem to solve the problem, but in fact make people fall deeper. It won't be as well-behaved as a rabbit like it is now.
Not to mention that she was able to give up the seal.
You must know that the "tourist area" is terrible, but the ghosts are afraid. Otherwise, how could the scout, who had been replaced as a "ghost", not be heard from after entering the tourist area?
Looks like this guy doesn't have to be a ghost.
After figuring this out, Xu Zhongxing looked at Bai Ling: "Mr. Bai, what do you think?" β
Bai Ling looked at Han Jing indifferently.
It's a bad taste, paradise.
He thought to himself.
Suffice it to say, Paradise really doesn't really want to dictate their course.
Because as long as they continue to play this game, Bering will inevitably go to the place where the "fog of chaos" is.
According to Bering's observations, if he didn't do anything but follow along, then after visiting some facilities, they would be horrified to find that every time they played with a facility, there would be an additional mark. And once the mark of the seal is filled, the original effect of resisting the white mist will disappear.
The "Tourist Zone" will open its mouth to them after they have completely lost the protection of the seal!
Of course, the final result was that Bering easily crushed the head of the "dangerous" level xenomorph, but because of his shot, Paradise escaped with the "Chaos Mist", and even let Bering smell the exhaust.
And if Bering deliberately manipulated the route and let them go in the direction of the "fog of chaos......
Xu Zhongxing and they will notice that as the journey progresses, their existence becomes more and more thin. In the end, even the ability to maintain physical mobility is gradually disappearing.
This is because the exchange of "existence" relies on the fog of chaos, and the exchange of the park's currency is nothing more than a means to take advantage of the fog. As a result, the closer you get to the fog of chaos, the more obvious the weakening of this existence becomes.
Bering is okay, he is not a living person, so he is not too worried.
But Xu Zhongxing and they are miserable.
In many futures, Xu Zhongxing and the two of them are gradually losing their existence, until they are completely reduced to food for the fog of chaos.
But in the midst of these futures, when Bering stood in front of the fog of chaos, Paradise was far away from him.
The monster probably saw that the existence of the Chaos Mist weakened and was meaningless to Bering, so it sensed that something was wrong during the ordinary journey and quickly ran away.
It really made Bering sigh at his caution and timidity.
Therefore, the purpose now is to support Xu Zhongxing and the others to other places, and I myself and Paradise will move forward together. β
Rubbing his chin, Bering came to a conclusion.
Paradise probably wanted him, as seen in countless observations of the future.
She even made up a story about her sister saving her brother, just to corroborate each other with Bering's situation, in exchange for Bering's empathy.
Although it is a little old-fashioned, but the performance of the paradise is good, at least Xu Zhongxing next to him was both caught by her lake, and he believed it.
But Bering is not so easy to deceive.
Glancing at Han Jing's white elbow, Bai Ling sneered in his heart: "Of course you didn't exchange existence. β
Since this is your back garden, why do you need to do it?
As he spoke, he quietly wiped the black fountain pen off his elbow.
Bering didn't exchange it for existence, so he secretly wrote it in a black pen in the secret realm.
It's so simple and so realisticβat least Paradise can't even imagine that someone would draw the mark on his elbow before he even saw it.
It can only be said that the level limits the imagination of the paradise.
After a moment of silence, Bering held out his hand.
He grabbed Han Jing's shoulder, and then said to Xu Zhongxing, "Captain Xu, I think I can bring her with me." β
"I think my sister thinks the same way. So, I was able to understand her. Bering said.
Such a statement made Xu Zhongxing bow slightly.
However, in the next second, Bering's words made him a little nervous: "So, I think we should act separately now." β
He took the seal from Han Jing's hand, and at the same time threw his seal to Xu Zhongxing: "I have the same opinion as Miss Han - I am here to find my sister, and she is to win back her brother, there is no conflict between us, and it is completely mutually beneficial." I can help my sister analyze the process of finding her, and she can also help me find clues together. β
"And the two of you are here to remind your fellow people outside, and also to help others, and in such a situation, there is actually a conflict between us. After all, we can't always fight against the people in the park, and if there is something that needs to be collided, such as 'bumper cars', then we will inevitably fall into meaningless internal friction. β
Speaking of this, Bering looked at Xu Zhongxing calmly: "So I think we should separate for the time being." There are many benefits to this, at least Paradise will be detached. None of us had seen Paradise before, probably because he was taking care of the other participants. This proves that he can only interfere with one person for a while, so after separation, we can put Paradise in a difficult situation. β
"And we still have two seals, and the place we can explore after separation is even bigger, so in summary, I think it is the most appropriate plan to start with separation."
Look at Bering's face.
Xu Zhongxing was silent.
