Chapter 32 Punishment Mechanism
After being separated from Nanshan, An Wujiu kept feeling strange.
This round of games has no additional tasks except leaving the closed containment center, and does not even add settings to players that may disintegrate trust.
I'm afraid the task hidden behind it is to figure out what this shelter center does.
What did the children in the shelter center look like in the end?
This shelter center is larger than he imagined. According to the evacuation map, the floor area of this floor is already very considerable. If that American is really just a philanthropist, this kindness can be seen by heaven and earth. But it is strange that why this building was built into the shape of a pagoda.
It must have some special meaning.
In order to better figure out the direction, An Wujiu and Shen Ti made small marks of the direction at the four corners of the corridor, and then walked forward.
They did not meet anyone along the way.
What is most incredible is that after four corners, when you return to the first place where you mark, the mark disappears.
Go down, go down, all the four marks made before disappeared.
An Wujiu and Shen Ti's eyes touched under the light, and they actually developed a tacit understanding.
"We and others should be isolated from some kind of force." An Wujiu said calmly.
Shen Ti spread his hands, "So there are supernatural things in this game."
"Maybe." An Wujiu had a natural resistance to supernatural things, and he couldn't tell the reason. But it would be very tricky if it really appeared in the game.
"What I'm worried about now is Yirou, it seems that she is the only one who is left alone."
I thought Shen Ti would agree or give him empathy for his concerns. Unexpectedly, he pointed out a fact inexplicably, "She has a surname."
An Wujiu looked at him, his expression was a little unclear.
Shen Ti hugged his arms and continued to emphasize, "Her surname is Zhong, Zhong Yirou."
An Wujiu couldn't understand this, "For people with good relationships, they can omit their surnames in terms of their names."
"Then you can try to omit mine, too." Shen Ti said suddenly.
After hearing this, An Wujiu looked puzzled.
He made another pitiful expression and sagged his mouth, "Are we not a good relationship? Just because I had dueled you before, are you unwilling to forgive me now?"
If someone else is changed, such as Wu You, you may turn your head and leave.
But An Wujiu accidentally denied this trick and denied it with a straight face.
"No, I've never held a grudge. Of course our relationship is good."
"Then you ask."
An Wujiu was in place, as if he had swallowed three eggs in one breath, which were stuck in the throat and could not be raised or laid.
Beware...
He finally shook his head, "Your name is strange, it's like visiting a stranger's house and answering his question of "Whether to have coffee or tea."
A disappointed expression appeared on Shen Ti's face.
But he thought about it and found that this might be An Wujiu’s trick. For example, when he called everyone, he removed his surname and only called his full name, which was also special.
After all, he is very different. Some people call other people's names repeatedly, which is only annoying, but someone can pronounce a person's name with some wonderful feeling, like a butterfly ribbon attached to a gift.
"Okay, An Wujiu."
An Wujiu had already forgotten what they had just discussed. He put his finger on his ears and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ti asked. But An Wujiu quickly made a move to silence him.
"Yirou, I just found out that our right ear is equipped with intercom function..."
Chen Ti noticed the black dot on An Wujiu's auricle. This guy's ears were like a snow-white shell, and anything else was clearly visible on it.
Could it be that this made him contact Zhong Yirou?
Chen Ti also touched it, and there was something on his ears.
At this moment, the signal An Wujiu received seemed to have stopped. He called Zhong Yirou's name several times and then gave up.
"The signal suddenly broke." An Wujiu looked at Chen Ti, and suddenly saw a huge ball wrapped in dark green mucus from behind him. It was not exactly a ball, because countless hands stretched out from the ugly and disgusting mucus.
Young little hands.
At that moment, An Wujiu felt a huge shock, but the next second he immediately came back to his senses, reached out to grab Chen Ti's arm, and pulled him over, "Be careful!"
The next second, the spherical giant covered in slime disappeared without a trace.
An Wujiu felt surprised. Could it be his illusion? But that was too real. He even smelled the strong smell of rottenness.
Suddenly, a pair of arms hugged him. An Wujiu was stunned and looked up vigilantly, finding that he was too close to Chen Ti. When he raised his head, his lips could almost touch Chen Ti's lower lip.
"What are you doing?" An Wujiu's tone was unexpectedly panicked. This was because he was not feeling emotional even if he was on the verge of death.
Chen Ti also let go of the hand that was buckled against An Wujiu's back.
His expression was very pure, like a child who had just learned to hug.
"You pulled me." He retorted in advance, then put his hands behind his back, "I just think this distance is very suitable...to hold it."
Really a weird guy.
An Wujiu turned around, "It's because I just saw something very dangerous and appeared behind you."
After explaining, An Wujiu left Chen Ti and walked a few steps forward. He found that his heartbeat was much faster for no reason.
Then, as expected, another attack of heartache occurred.
He grabbed his chest and stopped there.
"What dangerous thing? It's not that someone wants to kill me, right?" Chen Ti deliberately made a frightened tone, chased after him, and stuck to An Wujiu, "You want to protect me."
After he leaned over, An Wujiu was so painful that he could hardly stand, but he still put down his hand as he pretended to be fine and walked forward slowly.
"It should be an illusion..."
"We are probably in hallucinations."
As soon as they finished speaking, a nine palace appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of them, and numbers appeared one by one on it.
But soon, the Nine Palaces disappeared again.
"Did you see it?" This time, An Wujiu confirmed to Chen Ti.
"Yeah, Nine Palaces."
It turns out that he didn't read it wrong.
An Wujiu stood there, staring at the connection line between the wall and the floor.
This corridor that is always in circles. If it is a visual illusion similar to the Penrose ladder, then the ground will at least have a certain degree of tilt, and it cannot be horizontal.
Plus they haven't met anyone...
In a trance, An Wujiu heard the sound of a blunt attack, but it was not close to him, which seemed to be more auditory hallucinations.
"Hey? Hey..."
Chen Ti seemed to receive a message from someone, said "hello", and even said Moshimoshi in Japanese.
"Who?" An Wujiu got closer.
"Ah?" Chen Ti shrugged, "Your Brother Wujiu is next to me... I don't, I won't beg me as a melody... Ha, am I still immature? I am the most mature and reliable adult man here. You are just a minor brat..."
An Wujiu held his forehead and said, "Stop quarrel."
Chen Ti became more honest, "Okay, I'll be a melody for you."
Then he calmed down, listened for a few words, then turned into a poker face, and said to An Wujiu: "Brother Wujiu, Nanshan and I met a ghost to hit the wall. Later, he used the Bagua Nine Palaces to crack it, and then we found him, which is the workplace of e07."
It's really similar to learning.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ti continued to listen, but his face changed subtly.
An Wujiu saw it and knew that they must have discovered something.
After listening to An Wujiu, Chen Ti said to him.
"Nanshan is a special worker."
"That's right." An Wujiu nodded, "The work clothes he wore were different, and he also had a mask." After saying that, he seemed to have some bad guess.
Chen Ti told him, "It's the burning worker."
"There is a very large incinerator in the house where he works, and there are broken bones with remaining heat. The bones are very thin and belong to a child. I also found a work log that records the relevant information of the incinerator. It has no name, but it is not big in terms of height and weight."
When he said this, Chen Ti's tone was too calm, but An Wujiu was stunned and immediately appeared in his mind that the ball covered with small hands and feet just now appeared. For a moment, he even wanted to vomit.
He resisted his strong nausea and raised his eyes and asked, "How many?"
Chen Ti conveyed his words.
They got an unclear but still shocking result.
“A lot, very much.”
In An Wujiu's heart, this shelter center has now become a purgatory on earth.
Why are so many children dying here and being cremated quietly?
What exactly happened?
At this moment, new children's songs came out in the corridor.
"Pick up small pebbles, draw grids on the ground, large grids, small grids, and draw grids and hopscotch..."
At the moment when the crisp childish voice appeared, a new grid appeared on the ground in front of An Wujiu and Chen Ti, which was different from the previous Nine Palaces. This seemed to be an outdoor game that children liked to play in a certain era.
The grids are connected in a vertical forward direction, marked with numbers 1 to 9. Among them, the grids with 4 written and the grids with 5 written and 5 are parallel horizontally, the grids with 7 and 8 are also parallel, and all the other grids are in separate columns and fall together along a straight line.
Behind the grid marked 9, there is a final grid with a golden glow.
There are two words written in it - heaven.
The rumor continued, and An Wujiu suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. When he turned around, he found that behind them, there was an extremely gorgeous bronze relief gate, full of lifelike young angels.
An Wujiu walked towards the door, but he pulled up the back door knocker and couldn't open it. Instead, many red warnings popped up in front of the door.
[!pleasedonotbeabadkid
!pleasedonotbeabadkid
!pleasedonotbeabadkid
!pleasedonotbeabadkid]
Four identical English sentences warn him to be a good boy.
But strangely, in addition to this warning, there is also a blank input box below. An Wujiu clicked it and found that he could enter characters.
When he tried to type, a prompt appeared in front of him.
【You only have one chance.】
This is too risky.
"I want to play this game."
Hearing the voice of Shen Ti, An Wujiu turned around and saw that he was already standing on the starting point marked with the number 1.
"It may be a fraud." An Wujiu said, and asked him again, "Can you play this game?"
Chen Ti would not know, he would not know a lot of things. However, he observed the ground and there were a single numeric grid and two side by side, and he had to go from the starting point to the end point.
"I guess it's just walking over or jumping over, using one foot for a single grid, and two for two."
An Wujiu suspected that he just pretended not to.
"Be careful."
Chen Ti nodded and started his game.
A tall man of 1.9 meters tall jumped in a small lattice with one foot, which was a little funny, and thought to himself.
But this mentality did not last long because Chen Di suddenly failed.
He landed steadily on the ground and stepped on the 4 and 5. However, when he jumped to the number 6 with one foot again, he suddenly seemed to have a transparent wall appear out of thin air, blocking him who was jumping, so he was careful of his unstable center of gravity and left the "house".
So a red exclamation mark appeared above the house, and the singing stopped and turned into an alarm.
"It's okay."
An Wujiu was about to check him, but found that his chest was covered with blood and the front of his shirt was almost dyed red.
"What's wrong?" An Wujiu grabbed Chen Ti's arm and checked his chest.
But strangely, Chen Ti was not hurt at all.
Where does this blood come from?
"I'm fine, not my blood." Chen Ti shook An Wujiu's hand, "Stand far away."
The alarm disappeared, and the tender and crisp childish voice appeared again, repeating the nursery rhyme of the previous hopscotch.
"Big lattice, small lattice, draw cushion hopscotch..."
"Single grid, jump with one foot, double grid, jump with both feet, stop and take a breath, it's not good if you fall."
Chen Ti knew this was a new opportunity.
He started from 1 again in order. He was like those children, his learning ability was very fast. If you give him a negative feedback, a threat, a shock, and a second time, he would know what he should do and what he should not do.
This is punishment education.
This time, my feet were stepped on 4 and 5, and Chen Ti stretched out his hand and touched the above 6, and found that there was indeed a completely solidified air wall here, even boiling hot.
He withdrew his hand, "I can't get through after 6."
An Wujiu nodded and remembered that number.
He stood there and suddenly found that there was a follow-up to the nursery rhyme.
"Don't be discouraged, go back and start jumping. Children, remember to do not run away when you encounter difficulties."
"This is what you meant to let you go back," An Wujiu said, "jumping back."
Chen Ti understood it too. He jumped back to the first square. An animation of a thumb appeared above the "house" immediately, and an extremely excited encouragement appeared: "You are such a good boy!"
Immediately afterwards, the nursery rhyme was played again, and Chen Ti moved forward again. He carefully stretched out his hand at 6. Sure enough, the transparent wall that blocked him disappeared, but he was still careful and stretched out his hand every time he moved forward.
From 8 to 9, his hand reached out and when he came back, he was covered in blood, blood beads connected into lines and flowed downwards.
“This time it’s 9.”
6 and 9, An Wujiu remembers silently.
This may be a hint.
When Chen Ti returned along the original road, the little house once again gave him a thumbs up and encouraged him.
What a good kid.
When he set out for the third time, the point where he was forced to stop fell on 6 again.
Is it a cycle?
"Try again." An Wujiu said.
Chen Ti tried again, and this time, from the beginning, he suddenly felt a sharp pain when he stepped on the grid with 1 written on it. Standing on it, his internal organs seemed to have been corroded and melted.
"What's wrong?" An Wujiu saw him squatting down and immediately went over. Chen Ti also retreated. As soon as he retreated, the severe pain from the inside out disappeared instantly.
An Wujiu watched him get up, and when he turned around, the corners of his mouth were filled with blood.
Although he knew that this was not Shenwei's blood, his heart also hopped hard for it.
Chen Ti also felt it. He wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hands and cuffs, and reported a few numbers to him, "6, 9, 6, 1, and the last time he reached 1, can't continue."
The grid on the ground behind them suddenly disappeared, along with the last sentence left behind.
"You are such a good boy."
An Wujiu recited this sentence silently in his heart, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
The red warning that appeared on the gate of heaven just now said that please be a good child.
He pulled Chen Ti to the gate, staring at the four lines of English characters on it, "We should fill in a result."
The scarlet, almost jumping letters, like bloody punishment.
Four lines of warning.
Four numbers.
"I understand."/"It's a password."
The two people spoke at the same time, and the voices overlapped.
Their eyes met again, and An Wujiu nodded affirmatively, "There is a password that specifically requires long text as ciphertext."
"Bill's password." Chen Ti continued, but he was a little doubtful about why he knew this. In his memory, he had not received systematic education, but his cognitive scope was somewhat abnormal.
An Wujiu said "Yeah", "The 6th letter of the first line..." He hesitated for a moment for a moment at the beginning of the exclamation mark, but after quickly passing the possible answer twice, An Wujiu was sure.
"To count this exclamation mark, then the 6th in the first line is s, and the 9th character in the second line is o."
He stared at the red warning, "The third one is s, and the fourth one is exclamation mark."
【sos!】
An Wujiu entered this result in a complicated mood and clicked OK.
He got a feedback, called him littlebird and informed him.
【You have no right to choose.】
Chapter completed!
