Chapter 8: Anchors
"Ah Qian, what are you doing in a daze, come to help!"
β¦β¦
The same scene, the same lines, but Jiang Qian was inexplicably a little resistant.
After all, he had just seen his family killed.
Tragedy, it still happened!
Jiang Qian threw the fruit knife on the picnic mat, threw down an excuse, turned around and ran in the direction of the parking lot!
"Please find out the culprit and stop all the tragedies from happening", Jiang Qian chewed on this sentence repeatedly, trying to stop the damn van from crashing into his private car before the drunk driving happened!
If the truck hadn't crashed into the car, neither the mother's accident nor the subsequent incident of being riddled by a lame driver would have happened.
Wait a minute.
Jiang Qian stopped suddenly.
Stopping the wagons, will the "tragedy" really stop?
By this time, he had reached the "T" junction of the parking lot, and he was not sure which direction the truck came from and hit his private car.
Jiang Qian was hesitating, and Jiang Yang's voice came from behind:
"Jiang Qian, what are you doing? Mom asked me to call you back. β
There's a way!
With Jiang Qian's understanding of Jiang Yang, this task of "sabotage" belongs to him!
Jiang Qian walked towards Jiang Yang, and said bluntly: "You came at the right time, help me keep an eye on a car at this intersection, a yellow truck, and the license plate number is XA05052...... As long as you stop this car, my pocket money for the next month will be yours!"
The task is clear, the information is complete, and the price is clearly marked.
Jiang Yang was about to refute, but when he heard the words "pocket money belongs to you", he hesitated.
After a brief hesitation, he began to bargain: "Hey, if you do this kind of bad thing, you will be scolded." β
What's the point of being scolded? As for your urine, itchy skin if you don't hit for three days...... Jiang Qian looked at Jiang Yang's reaction and stretched out two fingers: "Two months, it can't be more." β
"Deal!" Jiang Yang proudly agreed.
It's worthy of you, as long as you use money, you don't bother to ask the reason...... Jiang Qian's hanging heart relaxed slightly.
The happiness of children is so easy to satisfy!
Without further ado, Jiang Qian repeated the license plate number to Jiang Yang twice, and described the appearance of the car again, and after making sure that Jiang Yang had memorized it, the two rushed to both sides of the intersection to prepare to stop the car.
"Hey, stay safe!"
"You're verbose!"
Looking at Jiang Yang's high-spirited back, Jiang Qian sighed and rushed to the other side......
He ran about fifty meters away, and there was a piercing roar behind him!
Where did the truck appear on Jiang Yang's side?
Jiang Qian quickly turned around and ran in the opposite direction towards Jiang Yang!
But before he had gone a few steps away, he watched the familiar truck rampaging from the intersection!
The out-of-control body scraped down Jiang Yang, and after rolling him under the car, he drove for more than ten meters before staggering and stopping on the side of the road.
The driver scolded and got out of the car, and when he saw the person, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground and peed......
Wen Han, who was calling for her two sons, just happened to witness this terrible scene, she ran over screaming, but before she reached Jiang Yang, she fell to the ground with weak legs, crying bitterly!
Jiang Qian's whole body froze in place.
What's going on now?
Jiang Yang is dead......
Could it be that tragedy will happen as soon as I try to do something......?
This conjecture is being tested.
But if I don't do something about it, how can I stop that accident from happening?
Jiang Qianqian asked himself.
Tremendous pressure enveloped him.
The sound of his mother's crying and the dark blue hue of the "Choice" poster crossed in his mind at the same time, making him dizzy.
The familiar sound of prompts is coming!
[Coming soon to the viewing session]
[The film "Choice" is based on the real experience of the trialist, and you will appear in this film in your true colors to get an immersive peak experience]
[Please find out who is responsible for all the tragedies and prevent all tragedies from happening]
γScene 4-ActionοΌ γ
"Here we go again......"
β¦β¦
A familiar and gentle voice called to Jiang Qian: "Ah Qian, what are you doing in a daze, come and help!" β
It's like the beginning of a cycle of tragedy.
Jiang Qian lowered his head, the white blade in his hand flashing with a bright luster.
It gradually coincides with the white boat inserted into the whirlpool in my mind......
Against a dark blue background, a huge vortex gives a dizzying warning, and a white sail bursts into the vortex like a sharp knife inserted into the bull's-eye.
"Break the game, the initiator ......"
Jiang Qian's eyes contracted suddenly!
"Every tragedy comes based on my attempt to change the past and avoid tragedy, and as soon as I start to make efforts, something will happen......"
He clenched the fruit knife, and there was excitement in his eyes, and there was nervousness about the storm!
Find out who is responsible and stop all the tragedies from happening......
"I am the one who started the tragedy!"
The tip of the fruit knife shimmered sharply in the sunlight.
So, this is the so-called way to break the game, right?
β¦β¦
A dim and quiet dungeon world.
AS1741 "Whispering of the Demons" -
A "No Disturbance" sign was hung at the entrance of Screening Room 2.
Inside the door, several voices with different styles whispered.
"He, will he die?" An affectionate voice asked.
"If he makes the wrong choice, yes." The voice of the mourning examiner replied.
In the enclosed and dark space, Jiang Qian's sleeping body floated in the void, supported by countless tentacles, pulling and scratching his clothes and body from time to time.
Hidden in the darkness, the mourning voice is from the owner of these tentacles.
"You look like you've taken him for a dead man, don't you? Aha, hee-hee-hee-hee......-hee-hee-hee-he
"I trust that he will follow the script I set for him and end this tragedy and his own life." "I've planted an anchor in his heart, it's only a matter of time before he dies, and after a painful struggle, he'll make that choice." β
"How?" The soulful voice exudes an alluring curiosity.
"Haha, this is my unique cheat!"
Ru Fu Kaoyan's voice rose, and the tone became more and more full of demagoguery: "The key is: in the doomed tragedy, give him hope to change the ending." Then, let him understand through repeated efforts and failures that the results cannot be changed! Whoever tries to change will hasten the tragedy! β
He will eventually come to a conclusion through reflection and verification: the person who tries to break free from the tragedy at all costs is the initiator! That's right, it's himself. β
Ru Mourning's voice trembled with excitement, as if she was showing off her masterpiece.
"Finally, he would clench the knife in his hand, and it was a little gift I had designed for him, a small white boat! Hehe, the white boat plunged straight into the vortex, breaking the chaos. That's the 'anchor' I planted for him. β
"He will listen to his inner voice and end his miserable life with that knife......"
An affectionate voice interrupted him: "Suicide is not a trivial matter. β
The implication is that people don't think it's easy to muster up the courage to hand a sharp knife to their chest.
"Under the impact of intense grief, people's willpower will be fragile. Even judgment can be inaccurate. β
"When he repeatedly witnessed the death of his loved ones, but there was nothing he could do, when he reasoned that he was the culprit, when he misjudged that he could only clear the level by pointing the sword at himself, he would do it."
The voice of the mourning test is conclusive, and she firmly believes in her own plan.
"Unless it's a pervert. Ahahaha......" The exaggerated and cheerful voice laughed more exaggerated than before.
"Yes, unless he's passionate about killing and lingering in a death loop."
Jiang Qian, who was floating among the many tentacles, closed his eyes tightly.
His body temperature was gradually dropping, his face was getting paler, and his life as a human was gradually weakening......
"What a pity...... What if he died like this, like this? We won't even get a chance to see him! The owner of the voice seemed to be in a state of flux, and could not even speak coherently.
But no one paid attention.
The fate of the trialists is mostly the same.
However, the affectionate voice was particularly enthusiastic about the matter, and continued to ask, "What is the correct operation?" β
"You mean, how did the Trialists survive?"
"Yes!"
"Impossible."
"Tell me, please~" The affectionate pleading voice is always hard to refuse.
There was silence in the air for a moment.
Rufu Kaoyan revealed the answer: "Do nothing, don't try to change anything." β
"Do nothing?" The affectionate voice seemed to be stunned, very unexpected, even a little disappointed, "It's just...... Such? β
"That's it." Ru Kaoyan's voice went on to explain, "But almost no one would choose this path. β
"When man has the power to change reality, he will not allow anything that harms him to happen again."
"On the other hand, he will take into account the possibility of failure in the end, so he will not take the risk of testing this path easily."
The voice of the mourning woman is triumphant, like a devil who has insight into human nature.
Unfortunately, there was silence around him, and he didn't even hear a word of praise.
"Still can't understand it?" Ru Mourning's voice obviously lost patience, and said sadly, "Alas! His brain is white, and he is not as good as a trialist. β
β¦β¦
"Who's not as brainy as mine?"
In the dimly lit room, Jiang Qian, who was "floating" in the air, had already opened his eyes, his expression and tone were very calm, and he was allowed to hold himself up with his tentacles.
The voice of the mourning examiner screamed and lost her voice!
And quickly withdrew the tentacles that lifted Jiang Qian, as if throwing away a hot potato! This caused Jiang Qian to land on his ass defenselessly.
"Hoo ......"
"You, when did you wake up?!"
The voice of the mourning officer was full of anger, and there was a feeling of helplessness to be slapped in the face on the spot.
Jiang Qian stood up from the ground.
Tired and weak, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground and spoke to the voice: "Probably...... From the time of saying 'perverted', right? β
ββ¦β¦β
"By the way, is it a friend from the next room who participated in the chat just now?"
Obviously, the other three "spectators" had already dispersed in a hurry and rushed back to their own territory to wait for them.
"I can't answer you." The voice of the mourning agent expressed helplessness.
"Thanks, but I already know."
