Chapter 70: The Wind Clears and the Fog Clears
Qin Manjiang figured it all out, including...... The requirements of this weird talk game after the opening speech.
[Tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon.] γ
γArrive at Bailu Bay on time and head to Butterfly Island. γ
[There is no game time limit, the strange story of Butterfly Island has not been solved, and you cannot leave the island. γ
[Latecomers will be deemed to have failed the game]
[Those who leave the island will be regarded as a failure in the game]
[If you die, you will be considered a game failure]
[Game Failure, Obliteration]
Everyone was deceived, deceived from the beginning.
Because being late will be wiped out, but not erased, it seems to mean that everyone has indeed arrived at Butterfly Island.
But what the game asks is to arrive at Bailu Bay on time and go to Butterfly Island.
There are no traps at all with this phrase, it's just that they don't realize it......
There is only a time limit for arrival, and there is a requirement for Butterfly Island...... It is to go.
The ghost boatman's wooden boat came to a halt as it vanished.
At that time, whether it was Qin Manjiang or Yan Xiao, or the other four people who arrived in advance, they all subconsciously thought that the boat had stopped, and a strange place had appeared, that is, Butterfly Island had arrived.
Wrong......
Qin Manjiang turned his head and quickly shouted to Yan Xiao: "Go to the water's edge!" Find that wooden boat! Get out of here! This is not Butterfly Island, arriving at Butterfly Island is our way of life! β
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge arm fell from the sky and grabbed him.
The powerful squeezing sensation made Qin Manjiang directly suffocate, blood foam flowed out of his mouth, and his internal organs were already shattered under the majestic pressure.
"Poofβ"
He was instantly crumpled into a ball of minced flesh, thrown into the mouth of the terrifying troll, and swallowed.
Yan Xiao watched the three players disappear, and his expression became hideous.
The time limit for the scalpel is different, and he and Chen Yu still have nearly twenty minutes to go.
But the lives of Qin Manjiang and Youyu are less than ten minutes left!
Ten minutes......
Escape the ghosts, run to the water's edge, find the wooden boat, leave Bailu Bay, find the real Butterfly Island, and rush to Butterfly Island......
Can this kind of thing be done?
Even Yan Xiao felt a burst of despair in her heart.
Impossible, the time is too tight to be completely too late.
The time of their death has entered the countdown......
And at this moment, the terrifying giant ghost raised its head to the sky and let out a terrible howl, but suddenly it didn't move!
ββββ
Huge ghost belly.
Including being torn and eaten by a group of monsters before, he didn't lose consciousness.
But this time, he really felt the horror of death......
It was as if his life had disappeared out of thin air for a few seconds, and then, from the eternal silence and darkness, he suddenly woke up!
"Awake?"
Yu Ruoli's voice sounded beside him.
Qin Manjiang turned his head to look, the bloody flesh wall was constantly wriggling, and the surroundings were full of broken limbs and bones, while Yu Ruoli and Chen Yu were all intact in the stomach of the powerful ghost.
That scalpel works amazingly......
Qin Manjiang exhaled a breath of turbidity, got up and touched everywhere.
But I heard Yu Ruoli say: "It's useless, I tried just now, but I can't get out." β
Qin Manjiang put down his hand, but he didn't look at Yu Ruoli, but looked at Chen Yu.
"You should know this isn't Butterfly Island before we do, do you?"
Chen Yu didn't look at him, but lowered his head and covered his left chest with his right hand, where there was a deep knife wound, which was left by the doctor just now.
"Why did he save me?"
Chen Yu muttered.
"What do you want to say? Does he like you? Qin Manjiang looked at her coldly.
"He just doesn't want to see anyone die in front of him, you're not special." Qin Manjiang said mercilessly: "Frankly speaking, I think it's a bit of a waste that he's still willing to save you, a person who doesn't want to live anymore can't be saved." β
Chen Yu lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled: "You're right. β
She looked up at the bloody flesh wall, and there was no look in her eyes: "I can't hold it anymore." Yan Xiao is just a reason for myself to live. β
"Ghosts, curses, killings, frame-stakes...... There is no end to the game of death," she looked at Qin Manjiang in a daze, "Do you think it makes sense to keep struggling to live like this?" β
What is the meaning of being alive?
Qin Manjiang didn't avoid her eyes.
After Lao Qin's death, he also thought about what the meaning of human life was.
When he saw Lao Qin's corpse, it was Qin Manjiang's first intuitive and close contact with death.
On the night he rushed home from school, he sat quietly next to Lao Qin's corpse, and Lao Qin lay quietly and motionless in the main hall.
He is not yet in the coffin.
Relatives, acquaintances from the same village, came one after another, they recited the events of Lao Qin's life over and over again, and then began to cry like singing, crying while telling about the past and future life.
After crying, step back and go up next.
The retreating man went to another room, and soon there were no tears, and he began to get into a family affair with his acquaintances.
At that moment, Qin Manjiang suddenly felt that life had no meaning.
Everyone comes with a cry and goes with a cry.
Life is very long and short, no one can escape death, once a person dies, the whole world has nothing to do with him.
Why did that person still live, and what is the meaning of life?
There is no answer to this question.
Or rather, everyone has their own answer.
Faced with Chen Yu's question, Qin Manjiang gave his own answer, which was also the answer he came up with after that night:
"To be alive is to be alive, and there is no meaning in the first place."
"You ask me why I want to live......"
Qin Manjiang thought back to the few seconds when he was swallowed by a powerful ghost just now, and he briefly lost all consciousness.
"We have too long to experience death, and in this short few decades, of course, we have to live seriously."
This was just Qin Manjiang's answer, Chen Yu didn't seem to agree, but she didn't refute it either.
"But this kind of life makes me feel depressed......"
She suddenly smiled with relief: "Catch!" β
She took out a prop from her arms and threw it to Qin Manjiang.
Qin Manjiang stretched out his hand to catch it steadily, and looked down, this is ...... Zhong Xueran's three clear bells?
No...... The pattern on it is not so mysterious, and the overall shape is far less primitive than Zhong Xueran's Sanqingling.
"This is a single clear bell, a one-time prop." Yu Ruoli recognized it at a glance, "You can make three people teleport anywhere within the game range." β
Qin Manjiang was stunned, he looked at Chen Yu, the female lawyer's face was completely devoid of any fear.
"This kind of life is not what I want, since I can't escape, then it's over."
At this time, Chen Yu's eyes were a little bright, and she took out her mobile phone.
But her eyelashes fluttered when she saw the phone.
"Don't die."
It was the message sent by Yan Xiao before, and it was sent when she faked her death last night.
There was a little smile on her face, and there was a faint sparkle in her eyes, as if it was an accident, and a little relieved, as soon as she stretched out her hand, she typed it word by word:
"Don't, you've lived enough!"
Send.
Turn on the front camera, and her face appears on the screen.
The huge ghost that was jolting forward suddenly stopped!
Yan Xiao guessed correctly, it was not that the ghost actively chose who was his "eye", but that the first person to see his face would passively become its "stand-in".
And Chen Yu has always been this person.
The terrifying trolls crumble in the wind and fog!
It was forcibly reined back into Chen Yu's body.
The bloated flesh and blood suddenly exploded, and Qin Manjiang and Yu Ruoli were instantly exploded out of their bodies!
Time...... There are only three minutes left.
The wind lifted and the fog quickly dissipated.
In the midst of flesh and blood, Qin Manjiang and Yu Ruoli slowly returned to their human form.
Qin Manjiang clenched Shan Qingling and tried to stand up.
Yan Xiao rushed over and pulled him and Yu Ruoli out, but no matter how they looked for it, they couldn't find any trace of Chen Yu.
A gust of wind blew, and the fog that enveloped the entire island disappeared without a trace.
And the corpses and flesh all over the ground are gone.
Yan Xiao was stunned, from this wind, he didn't smell blood anymore, only a faint fragrance of flowers.
The fog cleared, and everything on the water revealed its true appearance.
It turned out that they were less than thirty meters away from the place where the boat had stopped.
And in front of the side of this island, where the water surface was blocked by fog, it is clearly visible at this moment-
That's another island.
A ...... Butterfly-shaped island.
Qin Manjiang didn't speak, he turned his head to look......
The fog in Bailu Bay finally lifted.
Chen Yu is gone, and the island is in ruins, uninhabited for a long time.
"Jingle bellβ"
He picked up Shan Qingling and shook it gently.
The figures of the three disappeared in an instant.
And the moment before they disappeared, the fog rose again!
A terrifying roar came from the fog.
Bailu Wan ...... It's still White Dew Bay.
At their last glance before leaving, the three of them saw a thin woman figure in a trance, turned around and stepped into the fog......
[Strange talk: Butterfly Island.] γ
[Cleared.] γ
