Having witnessed the friendly jungle law with his own eyes, Wen Shi's expression was truly wonderful. He pointed at the curtains and said, "Please draw them all."
The insects that were broken into two pieces on all sides began to wriggle again, and went over to pull the curtains. In order to allow for the other party's vision, they considerately turned on the floor lamp.
Being able to bend and stretch without any spine, Wen Shi made a strategic summary: "You must not have a shadow either."
The fleshworms nodded one after another.
Wen Shi looked at them and pondered for a few seconds. These large fleshy insects behaved very much like humans. They carried luggage when going out, and the utensils in their backpacks were also items commonly used by humans.
Everyone's original intention is different, and the insects' original intention is clear at a glance: they will do anything to survive. An idea popped into his mind, and he bent down to look directly at the half-insect.
Seeing the big killer bending over, the insect knelt on the ground with half of its body, and then crawled on the ground, humbled in the dust.
In short, always maintain an inferior attitude.
Although he was a refreshing young man, his smile turned sinister at this moment. Wen Shi asked with a smile: "If we had just passed through this carriage, you wouldn't kill anyone except the ghost child, right?"
Meatworm hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Wen Shi smiled: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
The air was silent.
"Speak," Wen Shi tapped his fingers lightly on the suitcase handle, emitting a silent threat, "I know you can speak human language."
Just now, Fatty called him short and fat.
"Let me, let you crawl over on your knees."
"Drink toilet water."
"Wash our feet."
Not daring to tell all by themselves, the flesh worms talked one after another, and proposed many ways to torture people.
The last one said, "If anyone is willing to obey, we will eat his arms or legs. If he is not willing, we will eat him completely."
They thought they would be beaten to death by the rage, and after saying this, the insects huddled together and shivered. However, unexpectedly, no storm came, and Wen Shi calmly pulled the suitcase past them.
The newcomer quickly followed and said from behind, "If the player chooses to submit in order to survive, will he also turn into a bug?"
Wen Shi nodded: "It's very likely."
Just as Qian Laiye initially questioned the tour guide, when only primitive impulses remain, what is the difference between humans and animals?
The game gave thirty minutes to return to the position, but Wen Shi took three minutes dragging the suitcase.
All players successfully returned to their original carriages.
"Side quest - Return to position, completed."
The system's notification didn't bring much joy. Xiaohua said worriedly, "What should I do about the president? It's one thing to face Shadow, but also..."
Suddenly, Xiaohua met the eyes of the person in the suitcase. She stopped talking and looked even more worried.
Wen Shi's face looked a little strange, and he refrained from speaking. However, Yu Xingzhou's shadow sneered and said bluntly: "What are you mourning about? You have a share of his misfortune."
All the players noticed the shining look in Xiaohua's eyes when she was tying up Shadow, and they looked away uncomfortably.
"…" Xiaohua was silent.
Because he used Wen Shi as a reference, Song Yan considered all high-level players to be gods. He hadn't yet realized the horror of the person in the suitcase and flattered him: "You can tell at a glance that you haven't had a rebellious period. You've always been a good person."
Most of those who had a rebellious period have returned to their teenage years.
A thin arm stretched out from the box, startling Song Yan. The hand waved at Wen Shi, who came over and whispered to everyone, "My grandmother said she has a special physique. The game can't reverse her physical condition, but her shadow is the state of her youth."
The old lady came in as her real self, and she was obviously not a normal human being. The game couldn't easily "rejuvenate" her like the player.
Song Yan whispered, "Can you ask your grandmother how rebellious she was when she was young?"
Wen Shi relayed the original words, and after a moment, he said with a complicated expression: "She will kill you all. I hope I can only rely on her."
"…"
Song Yan trembled and drew inferences from one instance: "The carriage where the shadow is..."
Wen Shi knew what he was thinking: "The game must have some kind of restrictions in advance."
It is impossible to let Shadow end up killing people indiscriminately.
After a long silence, Song Yan's soul asked, "Why is your grandma also in the game?"
Wen Shi remained calm and rambling, "Second generation of gamers. My adoptive father and his family are all in the game. Some have passed away, but some are still here. The ones who are still here can retain some sanity and help me."
Players have long suspected that those eliminated from the game will actually turn into ghosts and stay in it forever, but it is also very strange that an entire family is absorbed as players.
They had no way to verify Wen Shi's words, and felt that it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.
Xiaohua still remembered the power of the old lady's kitchen knife and frowned, saying, "I hope the train arrives at its destination soon."
The sooner we do it, the safer the president's side will be.
…
Yu Xingzhou, who was missed by everyone, was now on another speeding train, thinking to himself.
It was an old green train with no creepers or luggage. The curtains had been closed since departure and the air was quite stuffy.
The shadows are much more heat-resistant than players. There is no order among them, and all their repressed natures are released, just like this hot steamer environment, they need a venting point.
Shadow Xiaohua got up and went to the bathroom. An inconspicuous thin man followed closely behind her. Looking at the good figure in front of him that could not be covered by the loose short-sleeved shirt, the evil thoughts in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
The thin man pretended to go to the pool, but the moment the toilet door opened, he grabbed Yingzi Xiaohua's arm, stepped sideways and entered, and locked the door directly.
Shadow Flower looked at him calmly, "Do you know who I am?"
The thin man's eyes swirled obscenely: "Without any skills, you are a woman..."
Shadow Xiaohua launched a powerful mid-air kick. The skinny man dared to attack because he had years of Sanda training and was known for his many underhanded tactics. As he blocked, he swung a punch, sharp glass shards caught between his fingers. In such a confined space, even a slight delay could have resulted in a blow. But Shadow Xiaohua was much faster than he'd imagined. Hugging the wall, he bent his knees at a tricky angle and kicked the man in the vitals.
The thin man was in severe pain and his neck was strangled before he could even scream.
"Do you want to live?"
The thin man couldn't move his neck, so he could only blink desperately to express his desire.
Shadow Xiaohua's eyes were filled with anger: "It doesn't make sense that there is nothing wrong here."
The train gradually slowed down as it entered the station. She had previously seen some monsters waiting for the train on the opposite platform. It was in dire straits over there, but it was calm here. No matter how she thought about it, something was wrong.
"I suspect there's a spy. Later, find a way to shift the suspicion to Yu Xingzhou's shadow."
The thin man didn't understand.
Shadow Flower: "First, I know him. His skills are very suitable for dealing with us. Second..."
The smile gradually became distorted: "I really want to use the rope to tighten the skin of the president little by little, and watch him lower his proud head."
"…"
The thin man followed her out of the bathroom like a quail.
Shadow Xiaohua couldn't wait to go back, but found that two people were missing.
Knowing what they were looking for, Shadow Linan smiled and said, "They said that being too comfortable is not right. They are going to check the safety of the carriages."
He also suspected there was a spy among the shadows, surely one of the powerful players. He had originally planned to start with Yu Xingzhou, but unexpectedly, he had called away Pei Wenwei's shadow. Shadow Li Nan then changed his plan, deciding to test the others first and wait for the two to return to see what happened.
On the other side, after walking out of two carriages in a row, Yu Xingzhou stopped.
The boy went up to the middle bunk. He hated his current height and asked, looking down at me, "What do you want me to do?"
The steel pipe in his hand was stained with blood, and even though the blood had long since dried up, it still emitted a faint fishy smell.
Yu Xingzhou said calmly, "I'd like to ask you to stay here for a while so I can do something."
"Do something?" Shadow gently touched the steel pipe, and finally said with a hint of interest in his eyes: "You want to kill someone."
Yu Xingzhou nodded.
The young man suddenly moved his legs, and Yu Xingzhou took two steps back to avoid having his chin lifted up by someone's toes.
"I'm sorry," Shadow Wen said without any guilt on his face, "I just thought you should look up at me when you speak."
The shadow has doubled and magnified the characteristics of its own parallel world, for example, like the devil, it likes to dominate people.
Yu Xingzhou had only one thought: Ji Yuanzhi, you blind bastard!
In reality, what he wanted most to deal with was Pei Wenwei's shadow, as there were too many variables. However, according to Ji Yuanzhi and the intelligence gathered by his subordinates, the other party seemed to be able to obtain powerful helpers in the name of family in this dungeon. He had to consider the worst-case scenario. In this dungeon, Pei Wenwei also called in helpers, who also had a shadow.
If he took action directly, it would easily lead to revenge from Shadow. Yu Xingzhou could only choose a bold move: self-destruction.
"I have a mission to hunt two shadows. How about you designate the spots?"
Unlike Wen Shi, Shadow's eyes were also clear, a purity that came from lawless indulgence. Shadow saw through the reason behind Yu Xingzhou's weakness: fear.
Be wary of your own helpers.
"As you guessed, I have a way to get someone to kill you."
Yu Xingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, not doubting the truth of this statement. There were no dead ends in the game. If Shadow could kill him, there must be a possibility that he wouldn't.
Looking at the arrogant young man, he knew that he had to find this possibility as quickly as possible.
The two sides looked at each other with one higher than the other. Gradually, a smile appeared on the boy's face, which was a sign that his patience was running out and he was about to kill.
Yu Xingzhou briefly considered the possibility of kidnapping Shadow and forcing his helpers to surrender, but ultimately decided to take the safe passage. "I will help you deal with Pei Hongxin and his wife, and make them pay the absolute price."
If memories are copied, then hatred will also be inherited. No matter how powerful the shadow is, it is impossible to get out of the game.
"You're confident you can kill the original body. If Pei Wenwei dies, your real-life enemies will be at large forever." In the dark carriage, Yu Xingzhou said calmly, "And I have a death substitute. Even if we lose the team battle, I can still survive."
"...I can even bring that couple into the game. You have Pei Wenwei's memories, so you should know about the Jie Yin Society."
"If you're worried, we can use props to sign a contract."
The young man leaned forward slightly, his smile widening. "Congratulations, you've found the code to survive."
As the two were talking, a few inconspicuous long hairs hung down and quietly moved towards the blood vessels in Yu Xingzhou's neck.
A chill came from his back, and the sixth sense formed from long-term gaming made Yu Xingzhou turn sideways without thinking and use the skill [Time Pause] at the same time.
Just as Wen Shi had speculated, the game hadn't completely sealed his ability, merely downgraded it to its lowest level. This was an extremely rare and terrifying ability that, as the name suggested, allowed time to stop for a moment.
During this one second pause, Yu Xingzhou took a few steps back, and there was one more person where he was originally standing.
The girl was wearing a white dress and had her hair tied up with red flowers at the end. She had been hiding somewhere before, so her hair was a little messy.
The boy was obviously surprised by this sneak attack and used a steel pipe to stop the still moving hair.
The girl's face was filled with regret: "If the kitchen knife was still there..."
I just succeeded.
"You can only rely on me." Then she said weakly and aggrievedly: "How can you accept help from others?"
juvenile:"?"
The girl took another step forward. Although she had an extremely young face, she kindly took the boy's hand and said, "We will depend on each other from now on. He..."
The boy spoke in time: "Unless you can help deal with the enemies in another world."
The cruel murderous intent in the girl's eyes was barely suppressed.
Yu Xingzhou raised his hand silently.
The girl nodded almsgivingly: "Speak."
"I'll just kill two shadows. The sooner I kill them, the sooner I can leave," Yu Xingzhou said self-deprecatingly, looking at Shadow Wen, "so that he won't get mixed up with a shady guy like me."
The girl seemed to think this through carefully. "There's a guy with lustful eyes. I don't like him. You can kill him. There's also a guy wearing a bracelet. Not only did he not greet my grandson with a smile when he got on the bus, he even made a couple of sarcastic remarks. You can kill him too."
Good grandson?!
"By the way," the girl's voice was so soft and gentle that it could make anyone's bones soften, "You can also kill that pretty girl in the short-sleeved shirt. She's planning how to tie you up and suppress you."
Yu Xingzhou: "…"
A blind Ji Yuanzhi, a little girl who wanted to rebel, plus a car full of shadows, thousands of words turned into sighs under the lifeless mask.
When Yu Xingzhou was lamenting that the world was not worth living, Xiaohua kept sneezing on the K6666 train.
"A-choo." Her nose turned red. "Is someone saying something bad about me?"
Wen Shi likes people who are confused like this, because he is sometimes the same.
In just a few minutes, the train completely slowed down and stopped.
We have arrived at Fengzhang Station.
The cries of vendors drifted in through the window. Wen Shi lifted a corner of the curtain and saw a bustling scene outside. Fengzhang was a large station, crowded with passengers and vendors pushing food carts.
Fat bugs got off each carriage one after another. The new passengers had animal faces and human bodies. After getting on the train, they did not look for seats directly. Instead, they grinned at the carriage where the players were, with their sharp fangs completely exposed.
The frightening suitcase actually had a reassuring effect at this time. The player didn't pay much attention to the monster and was considering whether to get off the car and check out Yu Xingzhou's situation.
Li Nan paused for a moment and said, "We'll wait and see. If he's safe and sound, he'll find the right opportunity to come back."
Furthermore, Yu Xingzhou was thrown into the Shadow Group, and he must have a hunting mission. If the mission is not completed, he cannot come back.
The tour guide appeared, always enthusiastic and enthusiastic: "Dear tourists, the train will stop at Fengzhang Station for 20 minutes. You can get off and walk around. This station has a lot of passengers, so please pay attention to the safety of your belongings!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the system prompt sounded immediately:
[Collective side quest: Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils
Players need to find ten human travelers and say hello to them.
Tip: If you accidentally say hello to monsters, they will warmly invite you to their home table as a guest.
[Side Quest: Wallet Guarding Battle
Among the endless stream of passengers, there are some thieves who specialize in stealing organs. Money is their medium. When your wallet is visited by them, you are not far from being torn apart.
Protect your property and don't let them take a penny from you! ]
[Note: Existing players in this car are not allowed to join the k9999 train, and vice versa.]
After two consecutive side quests, Li Nan was the only one left watching Shadow, and the others had to get off the car even if they didn't want to.
Wen Shi respected the old man's opinion very much and bent down to ask, "Do you want to go out with me or stay in the car?"
The fingers of the suitcase were pointing directly towards the door. Wen Shi understood and went down with the suitcase.
A wave of heat hit me.
The air below was not much better than that inside the carriage. This station was packed with passengers. Monsters of all shapes and sizes and those with normal human appearances were walking around peacefully. The sunlight shone down, seeming to refract a circle of light, and the whole world was in a bizarre atmosphere.
There were two tasks, the first one was very time-consuming, and Wen Shi almost immediately walked through the dense crowd.
It was too crowded, with people jostling each other, and I had to be careful from time to time to prevent my suitcase from being squeezed.
A beautiful woman passed by him, turned her head away in disgust, took two steps, turned back and spat.
"…" First, let's rule out the possibility that this person is human.
The Blood Bride's Blessing is sometimes quite useful.
The suitcase moved and the old lady threw out a small ball of paper. Wen Shi picked it up and took a look: She has such a bad temper and cannot be a granddaughter-in-law.
At first, Wen Shiduo saw that the other person looked like a human being, so he took a few more glances, wanting to further observe whether it was a human being. The old lady thought that her grandson was interested in someone else.
Wen Shi shook his head: "Absolutely not."
His other hand tightly clutched his wallet. Suddenly, the crowd curved into a second squeeze, nearly pushing Wen Shi off the platform. He jumped up and looked, his eyes like radar, automatically locking onto the boy across from him who looked just like him. He was holding a steel pipe and had just pierced a passenger's shoulder.
The game cannot completely replicate the power of a kitchen knife, and the power of the steel pipe has been weakened. This has both advantages and disadvantages, but the impact on the mind is within a controllable range.
Wen Shi vaguely felt that something was wrong, and while complaining about his current height, he jumped a few more times.
There was actually a young girl standing next to the young man.
Red flowers, white skirt, the pure white skirt was stained with blood.
In the few seconds when he jumped up, Wen Shi's eyes made brief contact with the girl's. They were like a pair of snake eyes, cold and slippery. For a moment, Wen Shi even felt that her pupils were vertical.
After a moment of hesitation, Wen Shi prepared to go over and find out what was going on.
"Make way." After looking at all kinds of faces for a long time, no matter how weird the passenger's appearance was, it would not create any visual impact. Wen Shi squeezed out a crooked and narrow path.
The boy across from him seemed to sense something, and he paused, his gaze cold. His previous brutality had given him more room to maneuver, and when he saw Wen Shi, sweating profusely, squeezing towards him, he raised the steel pipe in his hand.
Wen Shi originally thought that the steel pipe was meant for him, but unexpectedly at the last moment it changed direction and went straight towards a passenger next to him who was acting recklessly.
The spurting blood splashed on the sleeves of his sportswear, and Wen Shi frowned slightly.
The people around them moved further away from the twin-brother pair of evil stars, and the air began to circulate a little.
From beginning to end, the boy's gaze never shifted. He calmly played the role of an observer, watching Wen Shi, who clearly had the ability to not be bothered by the crowded environment, but insisted on squeezing into the pile of monsters.
"Hypocrisy," he commented impersonally.
Compared to his peers, Wen Shi possessed extreme rationality in his youth. In contrast, his shadow had no restraint in killing.
Wen Shi knew very well why his rebellious nature was projected onto killing. He had wanted to go back and secretly kill Pei Hongxin and his wife several times, returning the favor.
When the boy took the initiative to get close to Wen, the two identical faces revealed completely opposite expressions, which were harmonious yet extremely strange.
"I stretched my neck so long, you could have just cut it off with a single blow. Since the mission didn't directly require a fight, and I didn't initiate a fight, you wouldn't have done anything..."
Behavior that is easily seen through is no fun at all.
This man's rules were annoying, and the boy began to think about the most fun way to kill him, drain his last drop of blood, and then pull out his bones.
Faced with murderous intent, Wen Shi just watched quietly, as if looking at his teenage self, reaching out his hand to poke the hostile frown.
The young man waved his arms vigorously, "People who are dominated don't deserve to live in this world."
Wen Shi reflected seriously and was sure that he was not so annoying at the beginning. After all, this child performed exceptionally well.
In the silent confrontation, the unconcealable murderous intent lingered in the treacherous minds of both sides.
"That's over a hundred words."
A faint voice floated over, breaking the silence.
The girl's voice was filled with sick patience. She looked at the boy and said, "You talked a lot to him, but only said a few words to me."
At the end, he almost revealed a tearful expression: "My grandson..."
"Cough cough..." Wen Shi almost choked.
"I didn't call you. I can only have one grandson." The girl looked at him and said, "You have a group of people who care about you, but I am my only grandson..."
The boy subconsciously said, "I can have a lot too."
The girl said softly, "No, I will kill them all."
It was hard to describe Wen Shi's expression at the moment. He stared at the suitcase, unable to put it into words. The old lady said timidly, "I was ignorant when I was young."
Wen Shi tried hard to force a smile: "It's okay, your transformation was quite successful."
The thugs turned into social terrorists, and this turn took more than 1,800 degrees.
The girl's cold gaze was glued to the suitcase. Knowing that she couldn't kill the original body that was in the way for the time being, she dipped her fingers into the blood on the boy's steel pipe and licked it to ease her desire to kill.
Ignoring the scene of licking blood, Wen Shi calmly captured the information points obtained from this meeting.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't played the game long, leaving limited data for creating a replica, that his shadow was too overbearing. Another point was that the shadow in the parallel world didn't have any special feelings for him. Wen Shi suspected it was due to possessiveness. As the girl in the white dress had said, she had many people who cared about her, and she simply didn't have the ability to kill them.
Wen Shi looked at the boy with sympathy. He was not even allowed to have friends. The degree of his being dominated was far beyond his own.
The boy's face looked a little ugly.
"ah!"
The screams penetrated the crowded crowd layer by layer, and the sound was not loud here, but the despair inside could not dissipate for a long time.
The voice sounded familiar, and Wen Shi rushed over immediately.
Whether it was the players or the shadows, they were all heading in that direction.
To put it bluntly, human life is the best pathfinder for the rules of death. Through the player's experience before death, valuable information can be obtained.
Cruelty has its advantages. The boy accurately found the passengers with reptilian nature. According to his observation, such passengers are often timid and cowardly. After seeing the steel pipes being violently greeted, they would choose to retreat.
Wen Shi took advantage of the free passage and quickly found the source of the sound.
The young man walked behind and tried several times to pierce Wen Shi's heart with a steel pipe, but the latter was not completely defenseless. In the suitcase, the old lady's eyes never closed.
Near the thick pillar, the new player who was teleported into the game with Song Yan had his wrists and ankles broken at the roots. His whole body was convulsing, and blood was pouring out like a flood.
"Hmm..." His tongue was gone and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Some passengers nearby came over after smelling the blood, and some of them showed strong interest in his severed torso.
A human who looked like a lizard couldn't help himself first and stretched his forked tongue towards the blood vessel.
The tongue burrowed into the flesh, causing the player to feel so much pain that he wished he were dead.
Players and shadows had already arrived, but stood still without moving. With their limbs and tongue missing, there was no way to get any information out of them. Given that, it wasn't worth the effort to clear the monsters.
Song Yan and Qian Lai also happened to squeeze in from the other side. Qian Lai was not surprised, but Song Yan felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
For the first time, he witnessed the cruelty of the game.
"Lower your head!"
Before Song Yan could react, Qian Laiye kicked him in the knee, his legs buckling as he fell to the ground. A kitchen knife flew through the air, swept over him, and pierced half of the lizard's head with a steady, accurate blow.
Wen Shi rushed over from behind and pulled the knife out of the lizard's head.
The young man who came with Wen Shi was also going to take action, but his target was not the monster.
"Useless stuff."
In the newcomer's horrified eyes, the boy gave him a useless evaluation and thrust the steel pipe in his hand straight at his throat.
The steel pipe was chopped crookedly by the kitchen knife in mid-air and hit the concrete floor with a loud thud.
"Pei Wenwei's shadow is too ferocious." Someone among the players muttered.
The young man stood still, and before the steel pipe could be swung at him, Wen Shi, who had just tried to stop him, said expressionlessly, "At least he knew how to give people a quick death instead of being eaten alive by a monster."
The newcomer kept spitting blood foam from his mouth. Wen Shi frowned and half-knelt down, giving the newcomer a few bottles of medicine. "Grandma, is there any hope for him in this condition?"
Newbies wouldn't be brave enough to take on group side quests, most likely because they made mistakes while protecting their wallets. The penalties for failing side quests were relatively mild, but if they triggered the true death rule, they definitely wouldn't be around to see them.
The old lady beckoned Wen Shi to come closer and whispered, "Find a jar. I can soak him to life."
The game does all kinds of business, and Wen Shi directly bought a big jar from the mall.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, he placed the newcomer into the jar: "Hold on."
The old lady was muttering something, and black lines appeared on the newlyweds' broken limbs. The blood turned into black water and kept falling to the bottom of the tank.
After the newcomer lost his tongue, the blood in his mouth flowed even more violently as he screamed.
Gradually, the pain subsided. In fact, when a person is in severe pain, his perception will become numb. The blood became darker and darker, and he finally stopped yelling at the top of his voice.
In the eyes of the onlookers, the mouth full of blood and the almost stiff and dilated pupils were simply in a state of soul leaving the body.
The monster passengers who had rushed over earlier actually felt a sense of guilt: if we had shared and eaten him earlier, perhaps the pain would have been less.
Wen Shi said calmly: "Do one good deed a day. We can't give up hope for other people's lives easily."
The newcomer's expression was distorted.
"I'll try to finish this book as quickly as possible. Just keep soaking in it for a few days. As long as you can return to the virtual world, you'll be back to normal."
The scorching sun burned the bloody severed limbs. The newcomer struggled to move his eyes, looking at the steel pipe in the hands of the boy next to him. He suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he was stabbed in the throat.
Wen Shi always respected the fate of others: "To live or to die?" He asked the newcomer: "If you choose to die, blink."
Whenever there is a glimmer of hope, people will hesitate.
The broken end was blocked by strange black lines. The newcomer could hardly feel any pain now, but it was psychologically difficult for him to accept the state of a human pig.
He didn't blink for a full half minute. Wen Shi had another task later, so he assumed that he would choose to live.
"Okay."
He carried the jar and went to the car to fill it with water.
The platform was still crowded, and this time everyone around, whether human or monster, automatically took a step back.
After taking two steps, Wen Shi thought of something and turned back to the stunned shadow boy and said, "Remember, respect life."
"…"
