Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] v. 22
The pupils dilate slightly. Even if the danger had been discovered, the curly hair, which was half a minute slower than usual, was still difficult to dodge accurately at that moment, and he shifted his body slightly, only allowing the syringe to avoid his eyes and stab at other places.
At this kind of critical moment, no one could see how fast Yuan Yuxue's reaction was, and he saw that he was in front of Curly Hair, and the sharp needle tip seemed to collide with something, making a sharp sound. Yuan Yuxue tilted her head slightly, and kicked away the nurse who pounced in the next second, and the needle it threw fell to the ground.
The mutation suddenly appeared, Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, and his reaction speed was unexpectedly fast, and his body seemed to completely exceed the limit of what it could do, and it was simply bounced off the ground all at once. Ah Jin took out the last cross prop and slammed it into the body of the fish that had slipped through the net, with a kind of relief and anger.
Beams of golden light cracked through its body, and it barely had time to resist before it was threatened, but even so, it couldn't make up for the damage caused. Ah Jin came back to his senses, his face turned slightly pale, and he asked in a tense voice: "Yuan Yuxue, did it stab you just now?" ”
That green liquid is not like a good thing, not to mention injections, I am afraid that if I scratch a little skin, I may suffer a catastrophe. In a supernatural copy like this, it is possible to directly turn into a monster that is neither human nor ghostly.
Curly's tired mind almost suddenly became so frightened that he couldn't wake up anymore, he instantly tugged on Yuan Yuxue's arm and stammered, "Let me see, it seems to be hurting somewhere-"
"Nope." Yuan Desire Snow is off the beginning.
He replied with a slight hesitation, probably because he was still in a state of confusion. Yuan Yuxue lowered her head, holding a falling, shattered fragment of the mask in her hand. After a pause, he muttered to himself, "...... The mask is broken. ”
That's actually a very flat tone. But for some reason, what fell on the ears of the other two was plain and a little frustrated. Ah Jingangshu's breath came up again, and he felt that Yuan Yuxue was a little aggrieved, so he hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, you can buy it again if the mask is broken, it's good if nothing happens to you." ”
Curly said dryly: "Wait back to the safe zone, I'll buy it for you, change it for a new one, and change it for ten." ”
Yuan Yuxue said: "Hmm." No, you don't. ”
Ah Jin cautiously asked, "Does this mask mean anything to you?" ”
Yuan Yuxue replied quickly this time: "No." ”
It's just that the mask is made of a special material mechanism, and it is difficult to reattach it after it is broken, and the lower part is easy to scratch the body. Yuan Yuxue simply took off the mask completely, carefully wrapped it with the fragments, and carried it on his body, waiting for the moment when it could be repaired.
It was only after all this that he raised his eyes.
The mask was taken off, and the face was no longer covered, and it was completely revealed.
The skin that had not seen the sun for a long time was really as white as melting snow, almost as bright as a layer of cold white moonlight, and when Yuan Yuxue raised his eyes and looked over, it was silent and audible.
Of course, Curly Hair had imagined what Yuan Yuxue looked like, a little curious, but not too curious.
Even judging from his eyes alone, he should have thought that Yuan Yuxue's appearance would not be much worse.
But he didn't expect it to be so ......
All kinds of speculation are not as good as just in case.
Chapter 23: Tricky Game
Yuan Xuxue lowered her eyes slightly, her black hair was unbound by a mask, and her softness was scattered next to her snow-white face. His lips were soft and red, and he jumped in the picture in an instant, grabbing people's eyes, and almost no one could take their eyes off.
That face is pure, condensed to the extreme, delicate beauty. And this beauty is very cold at the same time, as if it contains wind and frost, unattainable, and it is shameful to touch.
If it is really so cold to the end, maybe no one dares to take a few more glances at this sharp beauty, but Yuan Xuxue lies on the tail of the silkworm's eyes, and there is a little red mole, which suddenly melts this indifference into a strange softness, which makes the soul of the color and soul reversed.
There are thousands of beauties in the world, but this extreme appearance and contradictory and harmonious temperament are unique and cannot be reproduced.
Aesthetics is a very subjective and personal science, just like beauty in different hearts, it is difficult to distinguish the ranking, but at this moment, the idea of curly hair and Arkington time pouring into the bottom of the heart is ...... It's hard for them to see better people.
- When the first generation of war robots was created, everything was perfected to the extreme, so not only did they give them great power, but they also created their overly stunning faces, which were far beyond the limits of human beings.
And Yuan Yuxue is the only exception to this.
Even his creator sighed, as if God had borrowed his hands to create a miracle.
No one thought of the great commotion that would be caused behind this face. Some people fell in love with war robots because of this, protesting against letting Yuan Yuxue perform high-risk tasks non-stop, and even triggered a small range of thinking about whether the treatment of robots is reasonable...... This source of danger was quickly crushed. Before Yuan Yuxue's appearance was widely spread, a new rule appeared: in order to avoid accidents in future missions and avoid affecting the morale of fellow travelers, a generation of war robots must wear masks at all times.
It's simply a specially customized rule for Yuan Yuxue.
Compared to the resources required to reshape the face, direct masking is a fairly low-cost solution. What's more, for Yuan Yuxue, he would never violate the rules set by the laboratory without permission, so a trouble was easily solved.
Until now, Yuan Yuxue has never taken the initiative to violate this seemingly inexplicable rule...... But his mask shattered.
Without similar experience, Yuan Yuxue, who was forced to violate the rules, could only put away the mask fragments. When he wants to wait to get back to the lab, the researcher should be able to fix it for him...... If he hadn't destroyed it by then.
After accepting this accident, Yuan Yuxue quickly returned to his normal state of performing tasks, and he took a few steps forward before realizing that his teammates were not moving.
“?” Yuan Yuxue came back to her senses, "Is there anything else abnormal?" ”
Being watched by the owner of that face, Ah Jin only felt that his earlobes were slightly numb, and his whole body was about to fly, and he stammered slightly, "No, there's no problem." After she finished speaking, she realized how hoarse her voice was, and her whole person became even more embarrassed, and she wanted to bury her face in the hole.
This inevitably seems that she is too uncalm and strange!
But no one should be able to keep their composure in this situation.
Ah Jin comforted himself that Yuan Xuxue should have seen a lot and would not feel strange...... Then I felt even more embarrassed.
At this moment, she deeply understood why Yuan Yuxue was wearing a mask. Not to mention that in the infinite world, which is already chaotic and very dangerous, even in the normal world, Yuan Yuxue should be subjected to a lot of harassment and trouble, no wonder she will wear a mask.
Curly followed silently, taking a few numb steps. He hung his head down, his face buried in his palms, his broad palms covering his face, and only his exposed ears could be seen slightly hot. He pondered for a while before he said in a deep voice: "I will compensate you for a mask again, so it's too ......."
He choked out a few words: "It's too dangerous." ”
“?”
This evaluation is a little unfamiliar to Yuan Yuxue, but it is generally in line with the restrictions given to him by his rules. Yuan Yuxue groaned slightly and replied, "It will be as soon as possible." ”
Got the quest item and successfully escaped the pursuit. But on the way back, it was as quiet as if they had just sacrificed a teammate—
Yuan Yuxue has always said much, and it is strange that the curly hair is so quiet.
Curly walked ahead with a red face, walked through the familiar corridor, followed the dimly lit light strips on both sides, and finally saw the familiar bronze gate. Previously dismantled chains are piled up underground, and the erected railings shimmer with light, connecting the two worlds of the basement and the inside of the villa.
The servants, who were as strangely stiff as dolls, stood by the sides, and when they saw them return, they did not make any unnecessary moves, and silently opened the door for them, lifting a thin layer of accumulated ash.
When they stepped out of the basement, it was completely declared safe.
The game is won, and the initiative is still in the hands of the player. obviously escaped smoothly, but Curly Hair did not have the joy he imagined, but a strange sense of loss and emptiness in his heart...... This is the end of his and Yuan Yuxue's common game.
Ah Jin, who was silent all the way, was stimulated by the dust that was kicked up, his nose was slightly red, and he sneezed. Soon she covered her mouth again, looking a little embarrassed, and quickly glanced at Yuan Yuxue.
Curly: "......"
Forgot, there are others.
·
They returned to the banquet room, which was as warm as spring compared to the basement.
Even if Curly Hair deliberately walked in front, and even used his body to slightly cover Yuan Yuxue, it would be too self-deceptive to say what role it could play.
The moment they walked in, all kinds of eyes suddenly gathered. Over the shoulders of the curly hair, it landed on the ...... Yuan Yuxue body.
In the center of the hall there is a live broadcast of panoramic footage all the time, recording their gameplay and honestly giving back every detail clearly, almost as if they were there. When they were in distress, the players in the hall were also engrossed, staring at the screen, and in extremely dangerous situations, some even sweated from their foreheads.
Except for the three players who are wrapped in a "cocoon" and experience a fantasy that they can't see, and can only speculate about what happened at that time through their conversations, all of them get the same amount of information. Naturally, I didn't miss it, when the monster suddenly attacked, Yuan Xuxue stepped forward to help Curly Hair block the thrilling scene.
Then they saw the mask split into several petals, and Yuan Xuxue lowered his head to remove the broken item - at this time, the camera turned to his face very clearly, and at that moment, the players in the hall were not much less affected than the curly-haired two people facing Yuan Xuxue. It was like a heavy blow, and the thoughts in my mind flew out of my head. Even if it's out of place, I can't help but think...... Why is he so good-looking, will this shot automatically help people beautify?
Even if you beautify it, you can't do it to this extent.
Then it was all chaotic, and even the players themselves couldn't admit what they were looking at as they stared at the broadcast footage.
When the video was cut off, it was also when Yuan Yuxue and the others came back from outside.
Never before had their gaze shifted so consistently, and even the usual cold line moved their gaze subtly, falling on the newcomer.
Ideas have never been so consistent.
…… No beauty.
It's better than what is broadcast in the camera.
Obviously, when staring at the video, one by one was more focused, and when the person really walked in front of him, except for staring at it for a while at first, he retracted his gaze in a restrained and subtle manner.
The glasses lifted the frame slightly, and the fingers were propped up on the middle beam, blocking the vision. On the black skin and slightly black skin, a pale red flew very unroughly. The skirt lowered her head and bit her fingers lightly, but she didn't speak, but the embarrassed look was all written on her face.
Skirt and Yuan Xue are the first pair of players to do tasks, and Skirt has never hidden her closeness to Yuan Xuxue, but now she can't even open her mouth to talk.
She thought that if she had seen Yuan Yuxue's face in advance, she probably wouldn't have been able to act like a normal person at all.
Yuan Yuxue put the mission items in front of Andre. The small glass vial contained a specimen of the eyeball, soaked in a transparent liquid. Andre stared at the human specimen, the glass bottle reflecting his golden pupils, and he showed a very brief sneer before asking the butler to put away the three specimens and take them down. Then very perfunctory applause and "congratulations" to them, as before.
"The challenge was successful, congratulations on winning the game. Isn't this game fun and sobering you up? Andrei's words contained a bad connotation, but at this time, no one paid attention to his yin and yang weirdness.
Yuan Yuxue is still sitting in her original position as before.
The skirt next to him blushed even more.
The skirt hesitated, she wanted to compliment Yuan Yuxue's appearance - this was extremely heartfelt. But he felt that Yuan Yuxue must be tired of hearing it, not to mention that he covered his face, probably because he didn't want others to pay too much attention to his appearance, so he swallowed his words back.
At the end of the long table, Andre saw the players' various expressions, his face was slightly darkened, he glanced at Yuan Yuxue with annoyance, and threw out a new game to grab the players' attention.
"Everyone volunteered to sign up for this game, but I would like to remind everyone here that the more people who participate, the better." André smiled smirkedly, "Because this is a team game, as long as one person wins to the end, everyone can get some special rewards." ”
This time, it was the team that answered first, and he asked very indifferently and quickly, "What reward?" ”
Andrei put his fingers up in front of his lips and made a "boo" expression.
"My friends, some of you look tired. How about rewarding everyone with a good, quiet and absolutely undisturbed sleep? André said in a seductive tone that players couldn't refuse, "This will also be the last game." ”
Almost all of them were slightly shocked.
As long as you can complete this game, it is equivalent to clearing the game.
"Since it's voluntary......," said Andrei, "butler, bring pen and paper." ”
Players were given a paper and a pen in front of them, and André said: "Everyone can write their name on the paper and decide on the list of participants according to the name on it. If there are less than four players, the game will be skipped and the next game will be played. The next game must have at least three players, 'Self, Willing, Joining, and Joining', with no rewards. ”
He bites the word "volunteering" very hard.
The mechanic seems very free and human, but if you think about it, you can see how hellish the rules are.
First of all, this game is very beneficial for players, as long as someone from the player's camp wins, it is equivalent to clearing the dungeon directly.
If a player is not willing to take the risk, they can simply choose to lie down and win without signing up - there is no punishment mechanism for them anyway, even if they lose the game.
However, at this time, you will face the risk of skipping the game if the number of applicants is too small.
However, there is still a little loophole in the registration process: Andre did not explain, and what he left on the paper must be his name.
Or rather, it's not a loophole at all, but a rule that encourages players to sell each other.
It doesn't matter if you want to participate or not, as long as someone writes your name, it must be counted on the participation list.
In this case, will the player who has been selected – even if he has actually left his name – be able to continue to contribute to the team without any guilt?
Andrei did not put away his arrogant smile and gloomy scrutiny.
