Chapter 2: The First Game
On the player's side are seven humans. Among them were three young people, two old people, and two small children. One of the children looked to be three or four years old, and the other was probably in his teens.
They looked at each other for a moment, and a young man stood up and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Ye Lingjie, I don't know what's going on, I ate a cookie and came to this place inexplicably." Now shall we introduce ourselves? Then discuss how to get out? With that, he looked at the others.
A young woman nodded and introduced herself. The others were the same, but the kid just cried, crying and saying that his name was Zhang Ao and that he wanted to go home.
Li Changying, who had just gotten closer, had a headache, how could there be children? I must be reluctant to start......
However, the original text also seems to have said that in the past three days, only humans will be eliminated by any player, and Tang Mo in the original book is the one who will find a book with the god stick to determine the winner or loser...... Why don't you go through the motions yourself?
Well! Li Changying, who had made up her mind, walked towards the players, followed by the gingerbread villains who had been baked.
Players who already know each other are discussing the gingerbread figure and how to get out of the forest. Zhang Ao stopped crying and was concentrating on telling the elders the story of the gingerbread villain he had heard from kindergarten.
There was a middle-aged and elderly woman holding him, called He Hongmin, who said that she was the nanny of Zhang Ao's family.
Ay...... Li Changying sighed, a little reluctant to break the peaceful atmosphere, and hindered by the warning of the Black Tower in his mind, "Please release the task to the player as soon as possible", so he let the gingerbread villains push aside the bushes and walked out.
Just as Zhang Ao's story was finished, the seven players saw a girl wearing a straw hat, a low ponytail, long beige gloves on her hands, a pale green dress, and a white apron coming out of the woods. There was also a circle of cookie men around his feet.
The two young men who had been sitting immediately stood up and showed a defensive posture.
"Who are you?" "Hello everyone?" Three voices overlapped, two were men's and one was Li Changying's.
Li Changying saw that the man named Ye Lingjie was holding a thick and long branch, and shook his head with a wry smile:
"My name is ......"
Li Changying, a traverser, is forbidden to mention his true identity to the creatures of this world!
Heita's voice suddenly sounded, Li Changying didn't expect to use a male voice this time, and it shook her brain.
She quickly thought to herself: I know, I know......
"Ahem, my gingerbread kids are just out of the oven and bored, so you can play games with them. Considering that there are elderly people, just play...... Throw away the handkerchief. β
Li Changying wanted to continue, but she didn't expect that Heita had already broadcast the rules of the game with children's voices.
"Ding-dong! The team game 'Throwing Handkerchiefs with Gingerbread Villains' has officially begun. During the gameβ"
"First, no violence."
"Second, the player and the gingerbread figure sit in a circle, and the gingerbread figure or the person sitting when the player drops the handkerchief is forbidden to turn back."
"Third, after the handkerchief lands, the rest of the people are forbidden to remind; The person closest to the handkerchief must grab the person who lost the handkerchief, and the latter will make two circles before sitting down in the empty seat of the former. β
"Fourth, if no one moves 10 seconds after the handkerchief lands, the person closest to the handkerchief is out. If the captor fails to catch the person closest to the handkerchief for three consecutive rounds, he will be directly out. Players who have been caught a total of 3 times are directly out. β
"Fifth, the person who loses the handkerchief must start moving after the gingerbread girl sings, and he must keep walking in one direction, and the gingerbread girl will stop singing and the handkerchief will fall to the ground."
"Sixth, the game will end in half an hour!"
"The gingerbread girl is very distressed that no one likes gingerbread, and the gingerbread children are also boring, kind children, come and accompany them and let them smile again!"
Li Changying and seven players: ......
A young man named Jiang Hongzhong asked, "Are you a gingerbread girl?" Now are we going to play the game? β
Li Changying nodded, thinking to himself why these players were a little stupid, not as smart as Tang Mo.
So the three young men began to mobilize the others to sit in a circle, and the gingerbread little people next to the gingerbread girl also happily joined in.
After a minute, it was basically completed, and seven players plus seven gingerbread villains sat at intervals.
It is in line with the principle of fairness in the Black Tower. Li Changying, who stayed out of the matter, thought.
"Then begin," the gingerbread girl sang, "drop the handkerchief, throw the handkerchief, and put the ...... gently."
At the same time, Li Changying saw the fox rushing out of the forest, smiled evilly at her, and then turned into a fiery red handkerchief, floating behind the players with the song of the gingerbread girl, spinning in circles.
After turning around, everyone saw the "floating handkerchief", and the little boy Zhang Ao wanted to look back several times, but was put back by the nanny He Hongmin, so he cried.
Everyone frowned.
The "handkerchief" floated behind Zhang Ao again, and he quickly turned around, and the nanny's hand was a step slower.
"Ahhhh The child screamed suddenly, and He Hongmin also looked back.
Then the bodies of an old man and a small man suddenly disappeared.
is different from the way the magic stick disappeared in the original book, Li Changying guessed that this was probably to send the two back to reality, and then slowly disappeared.
The gingerbread girl closed her eyes, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and finished singing the children's song: "Hurry up and catch him." β
As soon as the sound stopped, the handkerchief immediately fell, right behind a gingerbread villain and the player Shi Shilin, which was considered the center.
The gingerbread figure didn't seem to react, and then the other gingerbread figure seemed to be reminded, and then the latter's body instantly cracked, turning into cookie crumbs.
The rest of the people looked frightened, and Shi Shilin was also scared, but looking at the gingerbread villain next to him, he also noticed it, got up and asked, "Then, sister gingerbread, did the handkerchief fall between me and this gingerbread villain?" β
Li Changying smiled: "Well, smart, so let's go catch my gingerbread villain?" β
Shi Shilin didn't reply, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it; Unexpectedly, the gingerbread villain reacted faster, and he pounced.
After seeing the speed difference, the teenager looked embarrassed.
The gingerbread villain ran fast, running more than half a lap at once, Shi Shilin's eyes flashed, ran in the opposite direction, and bent down to catch the gingerbread villain who wanted to run over.
Then he sat down in the place of the gingerbread villain that he had caught.
The gingerbread figure looked distressed, and his mouth bent down with strawberry jam to reveal an "unhappy" expression.
Li Changying smiled imperceptibly and began to sing: "Throw away the handkerchief, throw away the handkerchief............ Get him. β
This time, the gingerbread man threw the handkerchief to the young woman. The woman got up instantly, but the gingerbread man had already run away.
The woman learned from Shi Shilin and ran in the opposite direction to fish for gingerbread people, but was turned around and avoided by one of them.
Now the woman was in a hurry, and actually began to wait for the rabbit - to stay by her place, waiting for the gingerbread man.
Li Changying wanted to laugh when she saw this.
I saw that the gingerbread villain was pacing anxiously, but he didn't dare to walk to that position.
Eventually, the gingerbread man got out of the way and rushed over at an incredible speed, but the woman was quick enough to grab one of the gingerbread man's arms.
Then, the gingerbread man fell to the ground - his arm was broken.
The woman was a little panicked when she saw Shi, and she looked at Li Changying for help.
"That's right...... Now that you've caught him, sit down. Come, child, and take your severed arm with you. β
Li Changying took the gingerbread villain's severed arm and fought it against the gap, and the crumbs began to recondense, and the gingerbread villain's arm was intact.
Then the little gingerbread man can only arrest people.
Ten minutes later, four more people left.
One is that the gingerbread man with the broken arm is very sad and has failed in the competition with his own kind and is out.
Ye Lingjie accidentally slapped a gingerbread villain to death, used violence, and both were out.
The old man Liu Xiuhui didn't react ten seconds after the handkerchief landed on the ground and was out.
"There is only one minute left in the game," Li Changying told the tired players with good news.
Then continue singing: "Gently put it on the back of the little one......"
At the end, all three players are scared, and the walking gingerbread figure throws the fox -
The unlucky Jiang Hongzhong was ordered 4 times and was out.
After the man disappeared, Li Changying suddenly laughed and shook his head at the same time:
"Half an hour is up, congratulations."
The gingerbread girl changed from sitting to standing on a tree stump, dug into her apron bag, and took out two small gingerbread man biscuits for Shi Shilin and the young woman named Gu Xuezhu.
"This is my gingerbread villain, and it's also your reward, in fact, it's a low-level version of my gingerbread man."
The two took it.
Suddenly, Li Changying stretched out her hand. The two players were instantly alerted.
"Don't be afraid, it's game over, I won't hurt you. So, can you hold my hand? β
Shi Shilin was a little hesitant, probably because of gender; Gu Xuezhu stretched out her hand in disbelief, and then, Shi Shilin did the same.
Li Changying held the two warm hands and smiled: "Thank you...... I wish you all the best luck and survival in the future. β
The two of them were suddenly touched in their hearts.
But when it was sensational, the children's voice of the Black Tower Machinery ruined the atmosphere.
"Ding-dong! The multiplayer game 'Throwing Handkerchiefs with Gingerbread Villains' ends. β
"Settlement of game reward ......"
"Player Shi Shilin, Gu Xuezhu won the mission and received the rewards 'Gingerbread Villain' and 'Gingerbread Girl'."
"Players Liu Xiuhui, Jiang Hongzhong, Zhang Ao, Ye Lingjie, and He Hongmin failed in their mission."
A white light, the hand that was originally holding suddenly dissipated. All traces of the player's presence are gone, leaving only gingerbread crumbs on the ground.
For a moment, Li Changying was a little stunned.
At this time, the fox had already come over and said, "Okay, those humans are gone, I'll eat the gingerbread man." β
But the fox didn't touch the living gingerbread figures, just licked the cookie crumbs on the ground.
Li Changying looked at the fox: "Fox, do you think I'm weird?" I actually blessed the player......"
"No," he replied.
The girl was stunned.
"You are an underworlder, and you are inherently human; And I'm a monster, and I'm different from you. It's normal for us to feel weird with each other. It's not strange that it's weird. The fox said and licked his mouth, "And we don't fit in well in our own races, so it's strange that it's normal." β
"Hahahaha," Li Changying laughed heartily.
Well, after all, I came through it, and which fox eats gingerbread, especially in the Black Tower......
Wait, SchrΓΆdinger's cat...... Seems to like to eat shi?
Burst......
In the fox's opinion, the gingerbread girl's expression is very wonderful now. He smiled helplessly:
"Okay, you strange woman, go back, I'm going to have lunch."
Li Changying laughed, and suddenly felt that this fox was quite interesting, so he said, "Then you carry me back?" β
Fox:......
But for a moment, he seemed to think of something, and said, "Are you sure?" β
The gingerbread girl nodded.
"Come on."
The fox's body became larger, and Li Changying collapsed.
As soon as he sat down, the fox sped at a strange speed. The gingerbread girl grabbed the fox by the back of her neck and lay down on the fox's back.
Dozens of seconds later, the fox stopped and motioned for Li Changying to "get out of the car".
I thought she would vomit and tremble, but Li Changying stretched her waist: "Cool~"
The fox laughed angrily.
Li Changying also smiled and didn't continue to tease him. Turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare gingerbread for the fox's lunch.
Not because of anything else, but after the people left the tea to cool, the gingerbread girl suddenly thought that there was an appointment this afternoon.
and two underworlders, or rather, the Black Tower Monster.
Snow White and the Queen of Hearts.
