Arcade of Death

Chapter 224: The choice of fate

Views:

When Yi Xuan first received this task, he was in a state of anxiety. After entering, he began to look forward to it. When playing the game, what he thought was that he must win the game, but he really waited until he won, and didn’t face the reward. Knowing why, the mood was so calm this time, step by step, he walked to the front of the devil and looked at the two cards in his hands.

The two cards printed on the game console are not the same. In addition to the large size, the texture looks more upscale, and there is even a kind of metal matte.

The one on the left has a white texture, gold trim, and eleven large heart-shaped marks in the center.

The one on the right has a black texture and silver trim, but the center position is a skull-like mark.

However, unlike the past, there is no explanation on these two cards, except for the two marks, there is no hint.

Yi Xuan looked at the two cards carefully, and the Demon King was not in a hurry. He raised his hand for a long time, waiting for Yi Xuan to ask questions.

"These two cards are...?" Yi Xuan did not act rashly. He should be more cautious when dealing with the Demon King. In case he reaches out and takes one, the Demon King tells him that you can go to death now. .

However, he is very familiar with the patterns on these two cards. He has been in contact since the day he first entered the game hall. These two groups are the front and back sides of the game currency produced in the game hall. It is a skeleton and a red heart. When I first got the game currency, I even studied it carefully. So what do these two cards mean

Although it was only two cards, combined with the mysterious signs about this task before, Yi Xuan felt that he was facing a major decision that would determine his future destiny, so he didn't ask how he could do it casually.

Seeing Yi Xuan’s cautious look, the devil replied blankly with an echo: "These two cards represent two different lives. You see the card on the left, which represents the peaceful life of a normal person. If you choose it, you can leave everything that annoys you and quit this game hall forever. Of course, all the abilities you learned before will be eliminated. On the contrary, the life you have consumed will also be filled, no matter it is What you lose accidentally, or lose yourself.

And the benefits you get in reality that have nothing to do with the game hall will not be affected in any way. "Speaking of this, the Demon King's eyes with black holes in the skull mask suddenly blinked at Yi Xuan, seeming to be telling Yi Xuan that I also know everything about you in real life.

Yi Xuan's heart burst, and he asked why the demon king specially emphasized the benefits he obtained in reality, as if he knew the tens of millions he had won because of the ability of the game hall, but without waiting for Yi Xuan to think carefully, the demon king has continued. Continued.

"In other words, once you choose this card, you will leave the game hall forever, no longer enjoy the benefits of the game hall, and you don’t have to worry about the threat of death, and you will never be able to come to this place again. Now, even if you have an invitation card, it won’t work. How about it, isn’t it very attractive?” The devil grinned mischievously after speaking.

Yi Xuan's heart lighted upon hearing this. He didn't know if this was attractive to others, but it was definitely a good thing for him. Unlike other people who voluntarily entered the game hall to gain abilities, Yi Xuan came by himself. The game hall was foolishly tricked into coming in. If he knew that Shen Pengfei brought him to such a place, he would not come to say anything, and now he is so desperate to play invitation cards, the main reason is life span. Now the life span is fully replenished, and I live to let go of the twenty years that I have passed, and the life span of 60 years old.

And I am now a multi-millionaire, so in the future life, in Shanghai dialect, don't be too comfortable. Without the threat of death, traveling around the world with money, I feel that it is more enjoyable than coming to this game hall every day. If you quit now, you will definitely enjoy the rhythm of a lifetime happily.

Yi Xuan thought so in his heart, and there was a hint of joy on his face. Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out for the card, but when he reached out into the air, Yi Xuan suddenly felt something wrong.

I'm afraid of owning everything. If Yi Xuan is still the ordinary person before, someone asks him if you get 10 million a day but lose it again, what do you do? He will definitely say, what to do then, live. But when he really lost 10 million again, it is estimated that no one would be so calm when he replaced it.

He is in this situation now, but what he wants to lose is not money, but the ability of his body to surpass ordinary people. If he just gives up, can he bear it

Yi Xuan withdrew his hand hesitantly, with mixed feelings in his heart. He had always thought that he wanted to leave the game hall, and he had a resentment towards Shen Pengfei from beginning to end, but when the opportunity really appeared When he was in front of his eyes, he suddenly felt as if he could not make up his mind again.

"What about the other card?" Yi Xuan didn't think about the problem that made it difficult for him to make a decision. Instead, he set his sights on the other card.

Seeing his reaction, the Demon King seemed to be very satisfied with a smile, seeing that he had expected that Yi Xuan would not help asking. So he handed the card with the skull pattern forward. Continued: "This card represents the choice of destiny. Choose this card and you will be able to go to the second floor of the game hall with this."

"Second floor?" Yi Xuan asked subconsciously, with a heartbeat. This is something he has always pursued. Although I want to go to the second floor for my life, this is already a goal that has been deeply imprinted in my mind. inside. Unexpectedly, the invitation card on the second floor was actually obtained like this.

"Then, can you tell me what's on the second floor?" When Yi Xuan first knew the second floor, he was very curious about the second floor. It was mysterious and weird. Later, after the black-clothed man said, Yi Xuan is a place where he can expect eternal life, but after all this and facing the devil today, I don’t know why Yi Xuan vaguely feels that there seems to be something he can’t speak on the second floor. Fear.

The Demon King squinted his eyes and stared at Yi Xuan for a while, as if he wanted to penetrate his brain to see his consciousness. Yi Xuan was a little hairy when he stared at him: "What's wrong?"

The devil finally said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't tell you, because the second floor has a different meaning to everyone. There are huge threats and endless opportunities. You may be miserable in fear and pain. If you die, it is also possible to obtain infinite power and eternal life. Everything is possible there, but what you can find there, only you can find the answer by trying it yourself."

This answer is too ambiguous. It sounds like the second floor is a purgatory on earth and a world of opportunity. What kind of place is there in such a contradiction? Yi Xuan's curiosity was stirred up by the devil's words.

"Okay, then make your choice, whether to go back to your past peaceful life, spend your days leisurely, or go to an unknown world, adventure and hard work?" The demon king is very good at grasping the opportunity, and he is in a dilemma at Yi Xuan. At that time, he immediately urged him to make a choice. While talking, looking at him, there was a strange smile on his face.

This smile always flashed on his face when he first entered this room and saw the devil, especially when the expression was expressed from a skeleton.

He seemed to be observing Yi Xuan, and he seemed to be testing Yi Xuan. It seemed that behind such a choice, there was a bigger opportunity or crisis waiting for Yi Xuan.

Looking at the devil's expression, Yi Xuan was lost in thought about the choice of two cards. The devil did not continue to urge him, but kept holding the two cards patiently and stood in front of Yi Xuan.

End all this and lead a normal life? Traveling around the world, marrying and having children happily like a normal person? Just imagine that Yi Xuan already feels very happy, but what about after doing those? Continue to live a dull life

Yi Xuan suddenly thought of Yang Kai. In order to enter a place like the game hall, he did not hesitate to spend ten years of his life. And I am here, and I still want to quit like this. Yi Xuan shook his head silently. The adventurous cells in his blood began to become active. Since he lives for a lifetime, why not let his life be more exciting and exciting? There was no such opportunity before. Now in the midst of an opportunity, how can one give up

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan finally showed a firm expression on his face, and suddenly said loudly: "I choose to go to the second floor!"

Speaking fiercely, he stretched out his hand and snatched the skull card in the Demon King's right hand, for fear that he would regret it.

"Hahaha." The demon king was amused by Yi Xuan's actions. He laughed loudly, as if he was very happy for Yi Xuan's choice, but in Yi Xuan's eyes, he felt a little hairy in his heart. This card is the feeling that the devil hopes for.

The Demon King ignored his suspicious look, turned his left hand, and the white card disappeared. In this way, even if Yi Xuan wanted to go back, it would be impossible.

"Okay, your task has been completed. Now you can go out. With this card, you can go to the second floor at any time, but remember that once you enter the second floor, you can't leave easily, so Please do all the things you should do before you leave, so as not to leave any regrets." With that, the devil patted Yi Xuan's shoulder gently, as if he was comforting a child who had done something wrong.

Yi Xuan is more worried now than when he made the choice just now, what is it? Can't leave easily after entering the second floor? Why does it sound a bit unpleasant.

"Can't leave? What do you mean?" Yi Xuan asked loudly, but the demon king turned his body, and his figure had already walked into the void behind him. The surrounding area was plunged into the deadly darkness that Yi Xuan had just entered.

I would regret it because it was definitely too late. Yi Xuan sighed and said to his heart that he had chosen this card wrong? At this moment, there was a little light in front of Yi Xuan's eyes. The light formed a rectangle, which looked like a door. He fumbled and walked over and touched the door handle.

Gently unscrewed, the noise of the outside game hall suddenly came, bringing Yi Xuan from the void back to reality. Looking back, there was still a black that could absorb all the light inside.

Stepping out and closing the door, Yi Xuan looked down at the card in his hand. The texture of the black card was very hard, and it felt like some kind of metal. Because I was too anxious when I took the card just now, the sharp corners don’t know anything. At that time, he pierced the palm of his hand, and a little bit of blood stained the pattern of the skeleton, which looked like a bloodthirsty monster with a hideous feeling.

"Hey, you finally came out." Vera's voice suddenly came over, and Yang Kai followed her. Although Yi Xuan raised his head for only a few hours apart, he felt like a world away when he saw them all again.

Vera looked very excited too, leaped forward and hugged him, jumping and jumping happily. "Thank God, what's the matter? Is the task completed?"

"En." Yi Xuan nodded, it was successfully completed, and then he lighted up the card in his hand. "This is the invitation card to the second floor."

"Really?" Vera snatched it over, looked at it over and over in her hand, and then reluctantly handed it to Yi Xuan's hand, "Congratulations, I'm so glad you finally fulfilled your wish. Saying that When are you going to go up to the second floor? After going up, remember to come back to see us and tell us what is going on there. If it is good, I will go up and see.” Seeing Yi Xuan successfully completed the task, Vera's words became more frequent. Up.

Yi Xuan smiled bitterly, he didn't know whether he was fulfilling his wish or jumping into another fire pit. But there was no need to say this to them, shrugged helplessly, and said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint you. Once you go to the second floor, you won't be able to come back." "Can't come back? Why?" Yang Kai asked in surprise. road.

Yi Xuan explained the situation he had just encountered inside to the two in detail. Anyway, according to the person in black, people who have gone to the second floor cannot disclose information to the first floor. Anyway, he has not yet gone to the second floor. , It’s not a foul to talk to them.

Vera and Yang Kai nodded as they listened, and sweated deeply for Yi Xuan's magical experience. "There is even such a rule. It seems that the second floor is really mysterious." That Yang Kai listened to the second floor. Yi Xuan said with emotion, as for what Yi Xuan said about the demon king against players, he didn't realize that it was too difficult, but it was only from fighting against computers to against people. I guess he would choose This task can also be easily won.

"Yes." Yi Xuan nodded. He didn't expect such a rule before he went in. "Eh, by the way, after talking for a long time, what about Neo?" Yi Xuan suddenly remembered that there was no shadow of Neo in front of him. Could it be that the guy hadn't come out yet

Turning around subconsciously, a white wall greeted him, and the door he walked out just now was completely gone.

Yang Kai and Vera were silent for a while when they heard Yi Xuan’s questioning. Obviously they didn’t see Neo come out. Seeing Yi Xuan’s worry, Vera comforted: “It’s okay, maybe he’s just better than you. It takes longer to choose the game."

Yi Xuan nodded, "Yes, it should be like this." However, an unknown premonition rose in his heart. Neo has always been a second-degree character, and he can patiently choose games for several hours. For Yi Xuan, such a scene is a bit unimaginable. According to his usual style, it is very likely that the first and second games have already pressed the confirm button. If that is the case, it is still not coming out. There are two possibilities. One, with the players, the confrontation has entered a white-hot stage, and neither side can win. But this possibility is too small.

Second, it is the result that Yi Xuan least wants to see. Neo may have failed. As for the result of failure, it is unknown.

But the three of them didn't want to admit it, and no one wanted to say this. Everyone held a ten-thousandth hope and comforted each other a few words.

"Anyway, twenty-four hours, maybe he wants to wait a little longer and wait for a game that suits him." Vera said with a cheerful smile.

"En, yes." Yang Kai also followed.

"Okay, let's wait for him to come out together." Yi Xuan also said loudly, saying that the three of them found a place to sit down, staring at the white wall in front of them without blinking.

Although it is impossible to wait to change the result, in any case, as teammates, they hope to do something for Neo, so that when Neo comes out, he knows that he still has such a strong backing, and no matter what Neo is inside, Everyone hopes to know the first time.

This waiting lasted for a whole day, the door never appeared again, as if it had never appeared before, and Neo never showed up. When the wait was hungry, the three of them went out to buy something to eat, and the wait was sleepy. , The three of them took turns to lie down at the merchant’s position and squinted for a while, and so on until about noon the next day, when Yi Xuan was sleeping on the merchant’s recliner, suddenly he felt someone grabbing himself and suddenly Waking up, Yi Xuan's first thought was that Vera and the others called themselves. Could it be that they said, "Did Neo come out?!"

Yi Xuan jumped up from the chair and almost fell. A person stretched out his hand to help. This stopped the momentum of his fall. Yi Xuanshun looked over and found that he was a businessman.

"why you?"

"Nonsense, this is my site, why? Can't it come yet?" The businessman asked with a smile, not being surprised.

"Oh, no." Yi Xuan said and sat down beside him.

"Aren't you staying here for the night? Haha, although there is no time concept here, it seems that you haven't been home for a long time." The businessman sat down on his recliner and shook it.

"I'm waiting for a friend." As Yi Xuan looked towards the wall through the door of the merchant, Vera was lying on Yang Kai's lap on the recliner beside the wall, Zhengxiang sleeping, and Yang Kai was also a Nodded vigorously, it seems that Neo still hasn't come out.

I looked at my watch. Twenty-four hours have already passed. It seems that I really failed. So Neo is dead? Yi Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow and death in his heart, which was a bit unbelievable.

"Hey, are you okay." The businessman seemed to feel something, and asked rarely in concern.

"It's nothing, it's just that this world is crazy." Yi Xuan said as he got up and came to the wall.

Woke up Vera and Yang Kai, and showed them the time they were holding. The two did not speak. Of course, they knew what time was over. After such a long wait, they actually had a vague idea in their hearts. I found the answer, but I didn't expect this answer to be so cruel.

"Go back, I'm all exhausted," Yi Xuan said, turning around and walking towards the outside of the game hall. At this moment, he felt extremely tired.
