"Three, two, one..."
As the countdown ends.
The surrounding scenes began to fester.
All is gone.
Just like rotten dust, the smoke flies away with a gentle push.
They seemed to have entered another world.
All the surrounding buildings visible to the naked eye disappeared little by little like squares.
Only then did Cheng Ye understand what Tang Huan was talking about about hide and seek.
In this world, corpses are piled up.
A dark blood-red color enveloped everyone.
All the children can see each other at this moment.
The whole body shines with a milky white light.
And around the child, there were thirteen red monsters standing tall and tall.
They kept bleeding, and I didn't know if they were the children of the third group.
Their heads become larger and larger, like a round ball, gradually occupying the entire body.
His eyes moved quickly, as if he was trying to remember the children's locations.
Cheng Ye frowned.
Something was connected to him in an instant.
Reused names, reused bodies.
Fixed at 7-8 years old.
Everyone is screened...
An idea gradually became clearer and clearer.
He felt that he was getting close to the first secret.
at this time.
A row of walls made of vines suddenly rose up to his left and right.
Then everywhere appeared such intricate walls.
A maze of red vines was formed.
It kept flowing blood-red liquid downwards.
It gave off a disgusting fishy smell.
Tang Huan looked at Cheng Ye and his face turned pale: "No, it's different."
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows.
"There are no such vines, not last time." Tang Huan stumbled, very nervous.
Cheng Ye reached out and touched the vines.
Warm, like human blood vessels, still beating.
He thought for a moment and punched the vine hard.
They just shook, leaving no scars.
Cheng Ye tried to pull out another leaf.
It still didn't work, no matter how hard I tried, the vines wouldn't budge.
There's something wrong with this vine, too.
He looked around. There was an exit in front and behind them, and he couldn't see whether it was to the right or left.
He remembered what Tang Huan said, the last ten minutes were for running.
At this moment, the game scene has changed, and you may not be able to escape just by running.
"Let's stay still for now." Cheng Ye said calmly.
Tang Huan nodded. He followed Cheng Ye's example, leaning against the vines and nervously looking around to see if anyone was coming.
Cheng Ye made a defensive gesture while thinking about the meaning of this game.
The key to letting children participate is that they don’t resist yet. Why?
And that teacher.
The sewing thread on her body...is it because she is not a living person?
Cheng Ye's mind was filled with questions. He felt that he could only get clues by going to the principal's office.
The voice in my ears became clear.
The cries of children.
The sound of a huge ball rolling on the ground.
[Caught, caught. ]
[Three groups of Li Jiajun children were so brave that they actually captured three children at once. ]
[Everyone, please start running~]
The ethereal girl's voice sounded again, echoing throughout the world.
Cheng Ye frowned.
If those monsters were now balls...
He looked down at his short arms and legs. He must not be able to run a ball.
"Tang Huan, let's climb up." Cheng Ye suddenly thought of the vines.
He pointed to the breathing vines next to him and said to Tang Huan.
Tang Huan still had tears on his face, but he quickly nodded and followed Cheng Ye up.
They climbed all the way up.
In fact, this vine is only four meters high. It took a while to climb to the top.
At the top, you can clearly see most of the maze.
Thirteen balls move freely in the maze, and some lucky children can stand still and not be chased.
There are also children who are unlucky and are chased by the ball.
Contrary to expectations, the speed of the ball is not very fast. It is about the same speed as a child running. It seems to give the child time to escape.
Cheng Ye felt increasingly confused.
In the first two stages, as long as you are caught, you will die.
Why does the third stage become merciful?
In other words, what Tang Huan said is actually not right, and seeing may not necessarily mean believing.
Perhaps the first two stages also left room.
After all, Cheng Ye has never seen any children arrested until now.
All processes are deduced from what Tang Huan said.
Moreover, the original intention of hide-and-seek should be to find the hidden people, but in the second stage, the red monster had already found them, but would not catch them.
Tang Huan's explanation was that as long as his legs didn't move, it would be fine.
That would be even more strange. If you can’t move your legs, why should you hide yourself?
unless……
What needs to be done at each stage is different.
If you don't think of hide and seek as a game.
And see it as a test?
The first stage of testing is stealth.
The second stage tests composure.
The third stage...
Cheng Ye looked around and probably had an idea.
Is it a test of physical strength and strategy?
Under normal circumstances, he shouldn't be able to climb up to this place.
If it is really a reasonable game, really a game of tag, how could such a loophole be left.
"Gene Era"
To ensure the fairness of the game, bugs will be avoided as much as possible.
But now, he and Tang Huan were on top.
The children in the maze were crying and howling.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ye suddenly turned aside the clouds and saw the moon.
So finding a handkerchief requires carefulness and reconnaissance.
The eagle catching the chicken tests agility and flexibility...
After thinking about it one by one, Cheng Ye felt extremely clear.
As long as you treat this game as a test, everything will be clear...
only.
Why test?
Is this orphanage training its own army?
Moreover, there are still many things that don’t make sense.
Cheng Ye lowered his eyes.
The children showed no resistance or fear at all.
Too obedient and no one will run away.
And, the unknown medicine I need to drink every night.
There are too many doubts about this orphanage...
"Can we just sit here all the time?" Tang Huan said softly.
He was much calmer and seemed to feel safe.
Cheng Ye nodded: "It should be."
The ball won't fly.
Cheng Ye continued to observe the surroundings.
A red ball rolled towards him.
The speed is not fast, almost as fast as a child running.
Cheng Ye stared at the ball, watching it get closer and closer.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes.
He looked at the ball and then at Tang Huan.
Tang Huan's face was still stained with tears, and Roududu's face was wrinkled at the moment.
In the flash of lightning, Cheng Ye pushed Tang Huan next to him.
For a moment, Tang Huan was stunned.
He looked at Cheng Ye in disbelief with a look of horror on his face.
The distance between the two is getting farther and farther.
thump.
Tang Huan fell under the maze.
He tried his best to get up, but the ball was already close.
It was too late for him to run or climb up.
His fate was sealed the moment Cheng Ye pushed him down.
He stood at the bottom and said desperately to Cheng Ye: "I am your best friend."
The child was small, and the dark shadow fell on him, making him look so pitiful.
Cheng Ye nodded: "I know."
But I don't want to use my death count.
If you were a real person I might be soft-hearted.
But you are just a program, and you cannot die. In this repetition day after day, let the players experience it.
Therefore, I can only use you as an experiment.
Cheng Ye said expressionlessly: "You won't die."
Tang Huan yelled: "I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die now!"
The red ball was getting closer and closer to him. Because he had just been pushed down from a height of four meters by Cheng Ye, his legs were twisted and unable to move.
He collapsed and yelled, then glanced desperately at the giant red ball getting closer and closer to the side.
He suddenly raised his head, his wrinkled little face expressionless at the moment.
With hatred in his bright eyes, he stared at Cheng Ye, who was above him, and said word by word: "I will never let you go until I die."
Cheng Ye didn't care, he wasn't really a good friend.
He just looked at Tang Huan intently.
The red ball ran over mercilessly, and Tang Huan was smashed into pieces.
At this moment, Cheng Ye understood where the fragments under his feet came from.
They all die like this.
Bodies don't disappear into thin air.
So every time how many people die, there will be how many bones here.
The wreckage here is all the people killed by the orphanage over the years.
The red ball gradually rolled away.
With a trace of red viscous liquid, it turned a corner in front and rolled to the right.
Suddenly, Cheng Ye didn't know what happened.
Wei Sheng'an's half-smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind.
He was so casual, nestled on the sofa that no one could see his expression clearly.
What he said kept ringing in my ears: It can be the real world, or it can be the world described in writing.
He remembered the story Wei Sheng'an told casually.
If you live in a false world for ten years, isn't it true that you are living?
If everything in the past relied on memory as a carrier to become a real experience.
Why can't the memories brought about by unforgettable dreams in dreams be real feelings?
Falsehood, or reality.
Is it that important?
Isn’t it all just a memory?
Cheng Ye suddenly felt a severe pain in his head.
His eyes looked towards the direction where Tang Huan died just now.
Wreckage, a wreckage.
The mess was all piled up, and it was hard to tell which one was Tang Huan.
He is just a piece of data, but to him.
To his world, to his limited time, to everything that happened.
And why can't it be a life with real weight and feelings?
Who will bear the weight of life?
In my ears, the cries of children were in a mess, rising and falling with each other.
The noise made Cheng Ye's head hurt even more.
He stared hard at the wreckage below.
It seems that he wants to find out the part that belongs to Tang Huan.
After a while, he said softly: "You will come back later."
Cheng Ye's eyes were serious and his fingers curled up slightly unconsciously.
The number of boys in this orphanage has always been 169.
The dead child will be replaced by another child.
In order to verify an idea in Cheng Ye's mind at the moment.
He can use himself to do experiments, or he can use his native best friend——
Tang Huan, go do the experiment.
But if you do the experiment yourself and it is different from what you imagined, you will have wasted a chance to die.
He wanted to put this opportunity further back.
For example, this time Tang Huan did not come back as expected.
At that time, it was time for him to conduct experiments himself.
Now it is not.
[Wow, the children in the three groups became more and more courageous as they fought, and they actually caught 20 more children in just eight minutes. It’s really annoying~]
[Other children, please work hard, we are about to come to an end. ]
[The one-minute countdown officially begins...]
Cheng Ye was expressionless, sitting high in the sky.
From a height of four meters, he could see most of the entire vine maze.
The red ball crushed the child mercilessly.
The smell of blood became stronger.
In mid-air, a blood-red countdown appeared.
Currently: 00:00:36
There are 36 seconds left.
The game is over.
Cheng Ye no longer looked at the scene in the maze. He kept staring at the countdown, blood red dyeing his collar and arms.
The sun is out.
The dull sunlight shone on him.
He stared at the red balls in the distance that suddenly disappeared at the end.
Suddenly he laughed.
I see.
[game over. ]
The radio said this sentence coldly.
In an instant, the scene changed again.
Cheng Ye still stayed in the playground.
The only difference was that there was no one around him.
The moment the time countdown ended, everything returned to the same state as before.
The speed was so fast that Cheng Ye felt that everything just happened was like a dream.
It was just the environment in the orphanage that brought him back to reality.
He is still in the copy.
Now, he is just guessing and finding nothing.
Cheng Ye lowered his head and looked at his hands.
All the blood stains just stained have disappeared.
It was as if he had just entered a different world and played a holographic game.
ha.
Cheng Ye smiled, his dark eyes devoid of any warmth.
Pretty consistent.
Didn't he just enter a copy of the game and play a small game in the copy?
Even if he chopped himself into a mess before leaving the game.
As long as the san value is not lost, won't there be no scars at all when you go out?
Cheng Ye raised his head and looked at the sun hiding behind the white clouds.
There are wireless matryoshka dolls lying around in the game.
There's a big problem here.
How could an orphanage let children play this kind of game and no one resisted?
There must be something wrong.
Everyone returned to the classroom one after another.
There was no dissent on anyone's face.
It was as if they didn't remember everything just now.
Everyone finds their seats, gets ready, and then waits for the teacher to explain.
The beautiful teacher came in.
She smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone is great. Only three of the thirteen of us were caught. It was actually the group with the fewest arrests among all the groups. Everyone performed very well."
Cheng Ye stared at the teacher, as if he wanted to see through her.
Something is wrong, nothing is right.
…
PS: Thank you everyone for your comments yesterday.
Because this copy is a bit sensitive, some content and settings that cannot be written have been deleted, and the length may be reduced.
If the chapter is still blocked, this copy may be ended as soon as possible.
I had a dream last night that I could open a copy again. It was so exciting. I almost died in the dream.
