Cheng Xiao asked, "When is your next game?"
"And the next one?" Ge Xiu was a little surprised.
"..." Cheng Xiao glanced at Ge Xiu with a complicated expression, and then said, "Do you think it's over after one time?"
Gossiu: "..."
He really thought so at first.
"Have you never read this type of online novel?" Cheng Xiao couldn't believe it: "There are quite a few movies and TV series of this kind, have you never been exposed to them?"
Ge Xiu: "...No."
Cheng Xiao looked at him for a while in amazement, trying to find clues from the other party's expression.
Ge Xiu looked bewildered.
Cheng Xiao sighed: "Forget it, I'll send you the link later."
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "Add a WeChat?"
Ge Xiu glanced down at the phone in the other's hand and replied, "I don't."
"No WeChat?" Cheng Xiao turned off WeChat and clicked on the little penguin icon on the screen: "What about QQ?"
Ge Xiu: "I don't have a cell phone."
Cheng Xiao: "..."
?
He looked up at the calm young man in front of him, and said slowly, "...Are you kidding me?"
"… no."
"Do you simply don't want to know me?" Cheng Xiao was shocked: "Do I look like someone with bad intentions?"
Ge Xiu: "...you think too much."
Two minutes later, Cheng Xiao finally accepted the reality.
He was puzzled: "So, you don't have a mobile phone and haven't been online?"
Gossi nodded.
—At least that's how he is in this world.
Cheng Xiao was stunned. He stared at Ge Xiu as if he was looking at rare species: "Could it be that you lived in some remote rural area without internet access before?"
There is no internet connection in prison.
And it's still on the edge of the interstellar, so it's quite appropriate to say that it's a backcountry.
Ge Xiu: "Almost."
Cheng Xiao shook his head and sighed:
"Although this game is indeed very tricky, this is the first time I know that it can trick people to such an extent... Brother, you are too miserable."
"Then... do you have a place to live now?" Cheng Xiao asked sympathetically, looking at the young man in front of him.
Gossi shook his head.
He looks so good-looking, and his life experience is a blank sheet of paper, not to mention being pulled into an escape game, and being trapped in a strange city where he is unfamiliar, which is simply tragic.
Cheng Xiao felt a surge of protection.
He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and hesitantly proposed: "Then... do you want to come to my house?"
At that moment, Cheng Xiao suddenly felt an eerie coldness coming through his bones, and that cold feeling instantly covered his whole body, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
Cheng Xiao sneezed, looked around suspiciously, and shrank his shoulders.
- Why is it suddenly cold
He didn't care, but turned to look at Ge Xiu who was standing in front of him, and continued:
"I rented an apartment nearby. I live alone. It's quite big. If you have nowhere else to go, I can take you in for a while."
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you worried that I have bad intentions?"
Cheng Xiao sighed: "Alas, after entering this game, who knows how long he will live."
and…
He raised his eyes and glanced at Ge Xiu, then coughed lightly and swallowed the rest of the words back into his mouth.
In terms of looks, it's easier for the other party to be targeted by people with bad intentions!
Cheng Xiao looked at the other party carefully. Although he was absolutely straight, when he saw the other party's face, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken by his sexuality that he had insisted on for more than 20 years. When he was in the middle of the school, he was surprised by the appearance of the other party. Now that he can observe the appearance of the other party up close, he has to admit that... some beauty is really gender-neutral.
He asked himself, if this newcomer looked ordinary, when the other party stood in the middle of the road and was almost surrounded by onlookers, he might not be so kind to help.
Humans are superficial visual creatures.
Cheng Xiao stared at the face of the young man in front of him for a while.
At this moment, the temperature around him suddenly dropped sharply.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
Cheng Xiao sneezed twice in a row. He rubbed his still itchy nose and looked up at the sunny sky above his head.
Strange, why the temperature suddenly dropped
Ge Xiu nodded: "That's fine."
Seeing the other side nod, Cheng Xiao also felt better.
·
Along the way, Cheng Xiao walked and introduced Ge Xiu the rules of the game he knew.
No one knows where this escape game came from, whether it is a high-tech product or an experiment made by aliens. What they know is that as long as the players who are pulled into the game can successfully pass ten copies, they can leave game, and get a chance to make a wish, but until now, no one has really survived ten games.
Players who successfully passed the first round of the game will have a watch distributed by the game on their wrist. This watch only appears in the real world, and it shows the time to enter the game next time.
Counting the previous experience with Ge Xiu, Cheng Xiao has already experienced three dungeons.
He turned his head to look at Ge Xiu, who was seriously listening to the rules of his popular science game, and once again burst into arrogance, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! If you have anything in the future, feel free to come to me! I will definitely answer any questions and answer any requests!"
The rookie player Ge Xiu nodded obediently: "Well, thank you."
"Ah!" Cheng Xiao sneezed again deafeningly.
He wiped his nose with a tissue and began to seriously consider whether to buy some cold medicine later.
Cheng Xiao asked, "So, when is your next game?"
Ge Xiu looked down at the watch on his wrist. It was an electronic watch, and the numbers at the end were flashing, as if it was counting down.
"Generally speaking, the more times you have played the game, the longer the interval will be." Cheng Xiao gushed: "But you don't have to worry, the game will take into account that you are a newcomer. Generally speaking, the first You will be given three or four days to prepare between the second time and the second time, like I waited for almost three and a half days..."
"An hour," Gossiu said.
Cheng Xiao suddenly got stuck: "... what?"
Ge Xiu patiently repeated: "There is an hour left on the watch."
"How is that possible?!!!" Cheng Xiao's voice suddenly increased, he leaned forward in disbelief and looked down at the watch in Ge Xiu's hand.
The passers-by around were startled by Cheng Xiao's shout, and they turned their heads back and looked over.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Seeing the sudden excitement of the other party, Ge Xiu changed his words understandingly: "Yes, there are fifty-five minutes left."
Cheng Xiao: "..."
What the table shows is that there is really so much time left.
He slowly raised his head to look at Ge Xiu: "...You must have offended this game."
Ge Xiu raised the corners of his lips, his eyes were slightly curved, and a starlight was brewing in the dark eyes: "It's possible."
The two soon came to Cheng Xiao's house.
Cheng Xiao took out the key and twisted the door, and ran towards the room at a sprint speed of 100 meters. He took off his backpack, and then stuffed some supplies that might be used in the dungeon into the bag. , flashlight, first aid medicine, compressed biscuits, blah, blah, bulging the shriveled backpack that he had basically consumed in the last instance.
He handed the backpack to Ge Xiu's hands, and then said bitterly:
"After entering, don't rush to complete the task. Let other players explore the way first, and it is important to save your life first."
"Well." Ge Xiu listened carefully to what he said.
"If you encounter something strange, don't rush forward. As soon as you find something wrong, run away. Don't worry about getting hurt. As long as you can survive the copy, all the wounds on your body will be healed. It's the same as a copy." Cheng Xiao stomped his feet: "Look, am I still fine?"
Ge Xiu nodded: "Mmmm."
"But you don't have to worry too much, often the first two dungeons for newcomers are not too difficult..."
Only halfway through the words, Cheng Xiao choked.
He recalled his previous experience of being instantly slapped in the face, and suddenly he didn't dare to set up any more flags.
"Have you remembered what I said just now?" Cheng Xiao was worried: "In short, I want to be cowardly and save my life, you know?"
Ge Xiu nodded again: "Okay."
An hour is so fleeting, and before you even notice it, the countdown on the watch on Ge Xiu's wrist has come to an end.
3, 2, 1
At the moment when the countdown was over, the young man who was standing in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving nothing but empty space.
Cheng Xiao stared at the open space worriedly, feeling the worry of being a mother for the first time at a young age.
but…
He raised his hand and touched his arm where the goose bumps slowly receded, sniffed, and turned his head to look at the sky outside the window in surprise.
Why did the temperature suddenly warm up again
What's going on with the recent weather
Ge Xiu's eyes darkened, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
When he opened his eyes again, the simply decorated and warm apartment had disappeared, replaced by a wasteland.
Different from the thick darkness last time, this time the sky is gloomy and foggy, almost blending in with the barren and charred land. Not far away is a small village. The houses in the village are crooked and dilapidated. It was rotten, the dirt road between the houses twisted and twisted towards the distance, engulfed in the jagged gray walls, and looked extremely dilapidated and desolate under the dark sky, unpopular.
Several players who had already arrived stood in the open space, several experienced veterans, and several newcomers who looked panicked.
Ge Xiu saw a dark shadow flashing past the end of the road in the distance.
At this moment, the mechanical female voice sounded from above her head:
"Welcome everyone to..."
Before he could finish his words, the young man with the backpack ran towards the ghostly-looking village, chasing after the place where the shadow flashed just now without hesitation, but in the blink of an eye. disappeared in the village.
The sound of the game got stuck for a moment without a trace: "… a large-scale real-life escape game."
The remaining players stared at the rapidly shrinking back of the opponent, dumbfoundedly watching him disappear out of their sight, and did not recover for a long time.
This... what's the situation
This must be too big, right
The author has something to say: Cheng Xiao: What about cowardly or saving your life? ?
