Cheng Ye closed his eyes.
Think carefully.
The process of the four games was constantly being decomposed, reorganized and summarized in his mind.
He suddenly discovered something.
The reminders he sets for himself make him very vigilant to a large extent.
This fits his character very well.
He would subconsciously be wary of information that was given to him for no apparent reason.
And because he has four chances of death, he always wants to maximize these four chances.
I feel that I should not waste it, I must use death to explore more information and try different methods of solving problems.
He wanted to leave some experience for the official copy, but he didn't expect that it was this bold attempt that made him lose four opportunities unpreparedly.
I can't help Huanhuan...
Her appearance was like a variable.
The biggest problem is...
Cheng Ye thought seriously, his expression serious.
The dark environment made him become one with the fog.
Just like his current train of thought.
So far, it's not impossible to help Huanhuan, but every time she appears, it makes her want to use death to explore more information.
The fundamental reason was that what he had to do was very dangerous, and he had to turn off the switch at 10:58.
Since it's so troublesome, it's better to give it a try and get more information and do it smoothly.
Yes, here's the problem.
Huanhuan is the variable that drives his own death.
Starting from the intermediate dungeon, will some variables be added based on each player's habits?
Are these variables a reminder of death?
What is the reason for setting this in the copy?
Let humans stop helping each other?
What can be gained from indifference?
Cheng Ye stopped thinking about this for the time being.
His fourth and last death.
He died faster than before.
Because of the addition of not drinking drinks, he relaxed his exploration of drinks.
He silently ranked down the fact that there was indeed something wrong with the drink.
I already know there is something wrong with the drink, and it will be the same if I try it tomorrow.
Instead, all priorities became turning off the power switch.
The first few times he waited until the next day to smash the wall and turn off the electric switch, it was because he wanted to personally test whether drinking the drink was what he imagined, and wanted to personally feel the impact of the drink on the body.
But in the fourth game, Tang Huan chased him and refused to let him drink. Although he firmly believed that there was something wrong with the drink, he completely shifted his attention to the drink in another direction.
Secrets about the orphanage.
Conclusions can also be drawn by searching the surrounding details.
Therefore, Cheng Ye essentially wanted to try boldly.
Now, he has three hours to think about it, what should he do in the last game?
This is his last chance.
After Cheng Ye summarized the points where he failed in the four games, he began to collect all the areas where he felt doubtful.
One, thirteen identical beautiful teachers.
They are really beautiful, just like the girls, like they were carefully selected to be beautiful.
But the scary thing is that they look exactly the same.
Their expressions, appearance, body movements, and outfits are all exactly the same.
why?
Second, girls are growing, but boys are fixed.
If the appearance of Huanhuan is not an interference item, but a useful item.
So, what exactly is her role?
Apart from letting myself discover that the boy's growth button has been pressed, what else does it do?
Third, the orphanage is full of contradictions.
It is very concerned about the growth of children, and the ingredients used for meals are all first-class.
In stark contrast to the accommodation environment.
If what matters is growth.
Can it be understood that the dean actually cares about the children's health?
Just for some reason, the boys stopped growing?
Thinking of this, Cheng Ye opened his eyes.
He suddenly remembered the room next to the control room.
There are thirteen dolls of different sizes inside.
They wear the same red skirt as the teacher and dean.
Their skirts are the same color but different styles.
They are both big-headed dolls, but their looks are different.
And among them, there seemed to be a doll that looked particularly like the beautiful teacher.
Cheng Ye tried hard to remember.
Yes, that's right.
That's right.
Cheng Ye suppressed his trembling hands. He knew what those dolls were for.
He looked at the dolls four times, and each time he tried to think about it, he was thrown into the next game.
It was only now that he realized what that vague subconscious reaction was.
This wasn't the first time he saw the doll.
That fat, big-headed doll is the auntie in the cafeteria.
Her red dress is a little different because of the apron, so it looks different.
The thin, big-headed doll is the dormitory aunt.
The biggest one, the big-headed doll guarding the other twelve dolls, should be the dean.
Not only do the teachers look exactly the same, but so do the aunts.
They are all copied and pasted from the appearance of a doll.
There is sticky liquid on the doll's body. Although I don't know what it is, what is certain is that——
This is what links them.
Maybe it's a doll, controlling this orphanage.
Their location...
Cheng Ye suddenly remembered.
Their positions are very particular.
Because the room was too dark, he didn't immediately observe the location every time he entered.
But at least he went in and searched four times.
Cheng Ye stood up, closed his eyes, and simulated cleaning up the doll after breaking into the room.
Here is the skinny doll.
Here is the chubby doll.
Here is the most exquisite doll.
…
Here, is Dean Doll.
Cheng Ye opened his eyes, and his brain completely mapped out the placement of the dolls.
This is……
If the location of the dean's doll is regarded as an office building, the location of the dormitory aunt happens to be the boys' dormitory. Beautiful teachers are piled around the dean. Between the boys' dormitory and the office building is the cafeteria aunt...
Yes, they all stick to their positions, every doll is the same.
This is a map.
so.
Cheng Ye looked at the skinny baby in the most remote place. He was very sure that this place could not be found in the orphanage.
That means:
This is the girls' dormitory.
The purpose of Huanhuan's existence is to let herself find out about the girls' dormitory.
The girls' dormitory and the boys' dormitory are not in the same space, or in other words, they are not in an area that boys can reach.
Orphanages don't have that many restrictions for girls.
Their existence is more like making money.
It takes a lot of money to open such a large orphanage and run so many equipment.
Cheng Ye finally understood why the orphanage was so contradictory. Sometimes it had money, and sometimes it didn't.
Because the orphanage itself is poor.
Every dollar it spends needs to be spent wisely.
Therefore, we cannot economize on areas that must be invested, but things like quilts, playgrounds, and teaching buildings can be used as long as they are used, and we will make do with it.
Girls are accessories to the orphanage,
Their role is to make money.
An important part of the entire orphanage is the boys' dormitory and office building.
The other equipment is all for... training boys?
This is not certain yet.
But the game of hide and seek is too much like a training exercise.
But why, they stop growing and lose their memory.
It feels like all children have seven seconds of memory.
What's wrong with that drink?
Cheng Ye continued to be lost in thought.
…
More than an hour passed.
Cheng Ye suddenly showed a strange smile.
He thought about a lot of things and deduced many possibilities from the known clues.
The dungeon that originally felt like a fog seemed to have a lighthouse and could be seen clearly.
He seemed to have figured out how to solve the game.
He stood up easily and stretched.
There were still more than two hours to rest, so he decided to take a short nap and make all preparations before reentering the game.
…

…
Cheng Ye waited for a long time.
But after the words 'I wish the players a happy game', there was no other voice.
Nothing at all.
It was his last game, but he remembered nothing.
He thought it was his first game.
Exactly like last time, he began to observe his surroundings very cautiously.
Like a newborn baby curiously exploring the world.
It was clearly his fifth time observing here, but he didn't even feel familiar.
As before, he quickly deduced that it was a large lounge, surrounded by children.
very quiet.
Naturally, he also thought something was wrong.
Children will not be so quiet.
There must be something wrong...
at this time.
Something unexpected happened.
He touched the sharp piece of paper in the quilt.
He froze for a moment, then cautiously grasped the paper.
Why are there cards?
The card has always been placed in the quilt.
Cheng Ye didn't notice it last time because he was too cautious, making his movements very small and focusing on his surroundings.
And this time?
An accident? Or just lucky?
13% luck value?
Cheng Ye tried to take out the card and read the words on it clearly, when footsteps came from outside the door.
He immediately stopped moving and pretended to be sleeping.
The fat woman started counting just like last time.
In the dark environment, Cheng Ye revealed a pair of dark eyes.
He quietly observed the visitor.
It seems that he wants to absorb all the clues he can.
The fat woman was the same as the last time, the last time, and every time Cheng Ye came.
Holding a counter in your hand, while counting, put it on your chest and press it gently.
"...one hundred and sixty-eight..."
"Click..."
"One hundred and sixty-nine."
"Click."
The fat woman stopped in front of Cheng Ye. For some reason, she felt that this child looked so familiar.
I had an inexplicable feeling of love and hate for him.
I really want to strangle him to death.
The fat woman stretched out her hand.
At this time, Cheng Ye was pretending to sleep.
Close your eyes tightly and breathe evenly.
The fat woman's hand first stretched out towards Cheng Ye's neck, then Zhuan'er changed direction and touched his face.
The skin is very smooth and has the tenderness unique to children.
The fat woman looked at Cheng Ye's face, love and hate in her eyes constantly intertwined.
The force in her hand became slightly stronger, but she quickly restrained it.
"These are my good children."
She comforted herself in her heart.
After touching it around, she reluctantly moved her hand away.
I was wondering if the rebels who invaded could be this child.
Otherwise, why would you dislike him so much?
I really want to pluck his head off and crush him flat.
The fat woman would never know that this innocent, cute, harmless child had broken her dolls four times.
And, this is most likely the fifth time.
She also had all her memories wiped away, but her heart was filled with hatred.
The fat woman left the lounge.
Cheng Ye opened his eyes.
"169 people." Cheng Ye sighed in his heart again.
He didn't expect so many people to sleep together.
But yes, the children are not very tall, and the beds are connected in rows.
Doesn't take up much space.
Soon, the time came for the early morning alarm clock.
The sharp sound woke up all the children.
They are so fast and neat and tidy.
It's like he has been trained in this area.
The quilt is folded like tofu cubes.
Cheng Ye crumpled the card into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket, and followed suit.
Prepare to squat down and get his toiletries.
At this time, a face came over.
What he said was exactly the same as in the last game.
"You didn't eat last night, did you?"
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
The child was anxious and looked around. It was exactly the same as last time: "I told you not to drink that drink. Did you disobey me?"
Cheng Ye thought for a while and felt that the clues he had obtained should not be wasted. He followed his words and said, "Why? I think the taste is pretty good..."
"Why?" Xiao Ziyi said with a face full of hatred: "As long as you don't drink, you will know why. Do you hear it!?"
Cheng Ye thought for a while and nodded obediently.
So far, everything is going the same as last time.
No deviation occurred.
Because Cheng Ye's character is like this: he is bold while being cautious, and he seeks verification through inference.
At the beginning, the variables have not appeared yet.
At this time, the beautiful teacher arrived belatedly.
Cheng Ye also discovered that she was wearing exactly the same clothes as the fat woman.
Red leather shoes, red dress and black mesh stockings.
The pretty teacher was just like the previous game. After giving a brief explanation, she was ready to take them to wash up and do exercises.
Everything is so natural.
Cheng Ye still found something strange.
How can these children be so good?
Maybe it's because you took sleeping pills that you slept well at night without making any noise, so why are you waiting in line now?
Are the teachers’ education so great?
"It feels like that kid just now seemed to know something. I'll ask him later when I'm free."
Cheng Ye thought so, and now the crowd was lining up obediently.
The last game begins.
The protagonist will definitely not die, right?
PS: No one will guess the ending, just like I am surprised that I would write it like this.
