Chapter Eighty-Six: The Foggy Maze
Without hesitation, Qin Manjiang pressed the answer.
"Hello?"
He asked aloud first.
He was met with endless silence.
After a while...... Only then did he hear a confused and deep female voice:
"Who am I?"
Strange things happen all the time, but it's hard to include a sudden phone call from a person asking you who she is.
Glancing at the name stored for this number on his phone, Qin Manjiang chose to be silent.
"Here it is...... Where? ”
In the mobile phone, the deep female voice was not only dazed, but also a little more helpless and panicked.
"Didi!!"
The sound of a short car horn shuttling through her mobile phone, Qin Manjiang seemed to see a dense crowd of vehicles passing by her quickly.
This woman, what the hell is going on?
"You're on the road?" Qin Manjiang asked.
"Highway ......"
On the other side, a woman in a white dress, with her hair disheveled, extremely thin, and sickly pale skin, swayed through the middle of the road and back onto the sidewalk.
Qin Manjiang heard an obvious problem in this woman's voice.
Her mind was so trance-like, like she had just woken up from a nightmare.
"You name a landmark that you can see nearby, and I'm coming for you."
Qin Manjiang thought for a moment and said.
"I'm ...... under a tree"
“……”
"Another."
"Mermaid Fountain ......," she said again.
Mermaid fountain?
After thinking about it carefully, Qin Manjiang determined the approximate location, she was in the west of the city.
"Don't wander around, wait for me to come."
He didn't hang up the phone, took the little yellow dog home, and after placing it, he immediately went out.
This woman's state is very weird, her identity is even weirder, she can't even remember who she is, and she will subconsciously call this mobile phone, which must have a lot to do with the owner of this mobile phone.
The approximate speculation was formed in his mind, and when Qin Manjiang was rushing to the west of the city, the other people in the strange talk game also started to discuss the unfamiliar code name and the strange talk that suddenly cleared the level.
"Is it a newcomer?"
"If a newcomer clears the novice mission, he can rush to the position of chief?"
"Isn't that evening primrose too, no one has ever seen her, but she suddenly rushed to the sixth seat."
"No...... This isn't a hint for new players to clear the game, it's just a weird story. ”
"So, there's only one possibility."
"Which?"
"A strange story with no deadline, it has been going on, and today something suddenly happened, breaking a certain balance and ending the strange story."
"This kind of thing...... Is it possible......"
The discussion fell silent, and while it was hard to believe, it was the most likely thing to happen.
The question is, how long did the strange talk of [The Man in the Coffin] last, and even made a stranger suddenly rush to the chief position?! It's simply ......
Among them, Chen Zhiyuan's shock was particularly strong, he knew how many spirit pupils Yang currently had, and the number of spirit pupils held by Yang was about the sum of the last five of the ten seats.
But even so, that person still surpassed Yang in one fell swoop!
What kind of strange talk did that person named Nie Yunzhen clear the customs......
————
Cat Face Cafe.
After reading the various information that suddenly appeared in the strange talk game, Shen Ji put down his phone.
He smiled at the girl across the coffee table, "I said, you don't have to thank me. ”
The girl sitting opposite him was naturally a leaf, a willow leaf.
In three days, the two of them cleared [Aging Me], and she also obtained a spirit pupil that was not too low.
Moreover, the real way of life is the same as what Shen Yu said, do not have any physical contact with the "person being cared for", and secondly, you must be flexible and flexible, and you cannot agree to "it" at will.
"Of course not!" Yang Liuye looked at him seriously, "This is a life-saving grace, if it weren't for you, Mr. Shen, I would have died of old age like everyone else......"
Her expression was a little hesitant, and Shen Yu's brows furrowed slightly.
He hated this waste of time.
Taking out his pocket watch and looking at it, he smiled and said, "If you want to ask anything, just ask, and I will answer you." ”
Yang Liuye breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, held the coffee cup in both hands, and asked, "Mr. Shen, I want to know...... How did you arrive at those inferences? ”
"It's not difficult, after reading the opening speech and mission requirements, you have a general idea." The coffee in front of Shen Ji didn't move, and he still said with a smile.
"Huh?" Yang Liuye said it was a little incredulous.
"We've all analyzed the opening speech and the game's mission requirements, but ......" her puzzled look didn't seem to be fake at all.
Shen Yu looked at the city that suddenly became foggy, and said, "The opening remarks and the task requirements are both hints and traps, and I simply distilled two words. ”
"Excuse me...... What are those two words? Yang Liuye recalled the opening remarks and task requirements of [Aging Me].
Opening Remarks: I'm getting older. Why is this happening? Why can't you stop aging? His teeth fell out, his hair was gray, his waist was bent down, his legs could no longer support his body, and his eyes were getting cloudier and cloudier day by day. Why did this happen to me? Is this what it is...... Retribution......
Game requirements: 7 p.m., arrive at the dusk apartment. After midnight, take turns taking care of the elderly for one hour. Game duration, three days. Latecomers will be deemed to have failed the game. Those who leave the apartment are considered to have failed the game. If you die, you will be considered a game failure. The game fails, obliterates.
"Retribution, care." Shen Ji's gaze fell back on her from the fog outside the window.
"Retribution...... Take care of ......" she savored the two words and asked, "I still don't understand ......"
Shen Ji also did not sell Guan Zi, and explained simply: "Retribution means talking about the victim, and it is not innocent. All attempts to save her are self-defeating. ”
"They said they rescued the female college student named An Ran, but in fact, you always knew that it was a dead end?" Yang Liuye's eyes suddenly widened.
Shen Ji shook his head: "The speculation needs to be verified, only if I really died because of saving her, can it be said that there is no problem with my thinking." ”
"As for ...... Take care," Shen Ji smiled more gently, "Don't you notice that taking care is an active word?" ”
"The person being cared for is on the weak side of the context, and the ghost is constantly making demands on us, and using all kinds of means to imply that if we don't meet its requirements, we will die a tragic death."
Shen Ji said it lightly, as if this was an extremely simple matter: "Everything is requested, don't dare to refuse, this is not care, this is a slave." ”
"If we are in such a position in this strange story, then the requirement of the game should be to 'serve the elderly', 'serve the elderly', not 'take care of the elderly'."
Yang Liuye was dumbfounded when he heard it, everyone grabbed the opening speech and the game requirements and watched it for a long time, but they didn't come to a conclusion that could convince everyone, but they were combed by Shen Ji like this, it seems that this is really the case?
"Excluding the first March of death, the unknown, the rest of the people have had physical contact with it, and then died of old age, from the description after they came out, it can be known that the ghost's request is also deliberately letting us have physical contact with it, coupled with the misunderstanding of the word 'care', the fear of death does not dare to refuse, almost everyone will be forced to have physical contact with it."
"Actually, it's not necessary."
Shen Ji suddenly looked at her and said with a smile: "Didn't you do it too?" It later asked you to carry it to the toilet, but you said that for its good, don't move around too much, and go straight to the bathroom to get the basin so that it is convenient to put it directly on the bed. ”
"This is the way to live, change your thinking, and not be led by the nose by the ghost's request," he stood up and bowed slightly to Yang Liuye, "Under the rules of the game, we are equal to them." ”
His smile was soft and bright: "Thank you for the coffee, goodbye, miss." ”
