Since we are no longer heading to the fourth building, the exploration of the Ninth Mental Hospital is over.
However, Bai Wu has an intuition that helps him know which places have been explored.
Wujiu did not have such talent, so he asked:
"I think every area has its own meaning to us. In the past, it could be considered as rescuing those suffering, or obtaining some key props, or pieces of the doomsday puzzle."
"But what is it this time? Is there something else hidden in the Ninth Mental Hospital?"
If this were a real-life scenario, it would probably be just like the many times before when people went out of the tower, just to seek survival resources, and there wouldn't be much to gain.
But this place is not reality, it is heavily distorted. How do you tell if an area has been explored
Bai Wu shook his head:
“Just trust me on this matter. This world is similar to the world we know but completely different. We will see many distorted and familiar scenes.
Each of these scenes has a guardian, and as long as this guardian is redeemed from a severely distorted state, we have completed the exploration.
As for the meaning... it's hard for me to explain it clearly, but after getting Hong Yin's approval, I did feel some subtle changes. "
Wujiu actually wanted to know how Bai Wu knew all this. This was not something Hong Yin could tell Bai Wu.
If he asked at this moment, Bai Wu would probably answer truthfully that there were strange pages of fate above his head.
Through the words on the pages of the book, through the experience just now, and through the inexplicable changes in his body after redeeming Hong Yin, Bai Wu came to a conclusion -
To correct this severely distorted world.
If he had the Eye of Prell, he would be able to know that the change was related to an extremely terrifying sequence.
But even if not, Bai Wu could still feel it.
When he first faced the yellowed page, he felt fear. After the captain's behavior was changed, he even felt a sense of powerlessness and despair.
But the captain also relied on his iron will to prove that there were some parts of the yellowed pages that could not be controlled.
This gave Bai Wu the confidence to fight against the pages.
Now, after gaining Hong Yin's approval, Bai Wu felt that those words were no longer scary.
When he raised his head and his eyes met the pages of the book, a sense of heroism emerged in the white mist.
He seemed to think that he had regained the power to fight against fate, but how did he know that this was not part of fate's calculations
Thirty-five kilometers ahead, you will see a huge city. Along the way, Bai Wu and his friends will encounter many powerful monsters...
Uh, okay, let's skip over their journey through the thorns and turn the page.
The pages of the book actually turned, as if the hand of fate pushed the exploration of the entire scene to the next stage.
The surrounding scene kept changing. Wujiu and Baiwu saw countless plants, trees and mountains retreating in an instant.
In that brief moment, many evil creatures appeared in the sight of the two, and continued to retreat like the scenery.
The evil ones seemed unable to see Bai Wu and Wujiu. In their sight, the world seemed to be still.
Only Wujiu and Baiwu were feeling this world that seemed to have shifted gears.
A full ten seconds later.
Words were written on a new page of the book.
The story of how they searched for a city, looked for the next area, and fought monsters and struggled to survive along the way is omitted here... 8,000 words.
Well, anyway, they arrived at the entrance to the next game.
The great dragon slayer came to a city with many familiar buildings. He recognized the place at a glance. This place was called Baichuan City.
He sensed human presence, and it seemed that the evil spirits did not dare to approach here.
Baichuan City here seemed to be a refuge, but it was much more prosperous than the refuges he knew.
Uh... As if that wasn't enough, let's speed up the game again and skip the boring observation stage.
The scene had originally stopped changing.
Wujiu felt the presence of countless humans through Xinluo. The density of the crowd was even more exaggerated than when he was in the high tower.
Only cities in the pre-tower era could have such a flow of people.
But just when Wujiu wanted to ask what happened, the last paragraph of words was written on the yellowed pages of the book - Let's speed up the game again.
Then the accident happened again.
"Bai Wu, what happened—"
Before he could finish his words, Wujiu disappeared.
Wujiu, who was standing next to Bai Wu, disappeared.
Bai Wu was startled, but quickly calmed down.
The captain is no ordinary person after all, he is one of the most powerful beings among humans.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
The dragon slayer seemed to think he could talk to fate, so he asked: "What exactly are you going to do?"
But there was no response from anyone around him. So he suddenly thought that a new game had begun, and perhaps there was a clue in himself. Let's observe the surroundings~
Destiny awaits your choice.
The new game has begun.
Bai Wu looked around and found himself in a house decorated in a modern light luxury style.
This is probably the simplest two-bedroom house in the original world. In Baichuan City, where every inch of land is valuable, it is considered a considerable property.
He was wearing a formal suit and sitting at the dining table.
Clearly, the white fog was still on the outskirts of Baichuan City the second before, and the next second, as the words were typed on the yellowed pages of the book, he came to this room.
"calm… "
Bai Wu looked at the pages of the book again. There was no text on the pages for the time being, just a truthful record of Bai Wu's actions.
However, it is worth noting that next to the yellowed pages, a countdown of 47:59:54 appeared.
The next second, it became 47:59:53.
This is obviously a countdown, starting from forty-eight hours.
However, under the current conditions, Bai Wu is not able to understand the meaning of this countdown.
Seeing that he couldn't get any clues, Bai Wu began to observe his surroundings, so that the milk in his cup and the toast on his plate were not touched at all.
"What's wrong? Is today's breakfast not tasty? Are you feeling unwell, dear?"
A familiar voice was heard. Bai Wu looked over and found Yan Jiu, who was wearing an apron, looking at Bai Wu with gentle eyes.
"Another fake scene like this... How boring! Is this your test? I've already experienced this in Zhou Zeshui's memory in the memory palace."
The moment he saw Yan Jiu, Bai Wu guessed that this was probably another very strange fake scene.
In Zhou Zeshui's distorted memory, he and Yan Jiu were husband and wife, Zheng Yue became a model worker, Shorty and his wife got married, and by the way, Shorty was 1.9 meters tall in human form.
Lin Wu Rou became the city's cultural ambassador, and Bai Xiao Yu became a gangster boss.
Very confusing and distorted memory, everything is the opposite of reality.
So when Bai Wu saw Yan Jiu wearing an apron, he probably understood...
I became husband and wife with Yan Jiu again, and I found myself in a familiar predicament again.
But this time... Bai Wu guessed wrong.
He thought so, and felt that the test of the will of the Well World was nothing more than this. This time he was experiencing a distorted reality. In the distorted reality, if he could find the source of the distortion, he would be able to solve everything. But he was obviously... too arrogant.
Bai Wu didn't think about the words on the pages of the book first. Instead, he drank the milk in the cup and then ate the toast slowly.
He didn't know why he did this...
But this is the case now. When Yan Jiu said the three words "dear", he instinctively felt in his heart that I cannot make her feel sad, she is my beloved.
This feeling made Bai Wu feel a little uncomfortable.
In fact, he shouldn't be awkward.
He should be completely unaware and think that this is how it should be.
It was only because of Hong Yin's recognition that his willpower and mental strength were strengthened, so he was able to retain his original memory.
"No... something's wrong..."
"Great, I thought you didn't like it, dear, you should go to work, there are still forty minutes left, you will be late if you don't go."
Yan Jiu looked at Bai Wu with love, but there was no smile on his face.
Bai Wu knew that Yan Jiu's smiles were all fake smiles meant to make people around him happy.
He told Yan Jiu that there was no need to do this in front of him.
"This isn't reverse reality... There's something wrong here..."
In Zhou Zeshui's memory copy, everything was distorted, even Bai Wu couldn't remember who he was.
But this scene is different, the white fog has its own memories.
But when Yan Jiu said the word "dear"... Bai Wu found himself instinctively accepting this setting.
He finally realized something... This game was completely different from the previous ones... The weird part must be somewhere else.
So he decided to follow Yan Jiu's words and go to work to see how it goes.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Okay, can I have a kiss?" Yan Jiu looked at Bai Wu expectantly.
"Ah?" Bai Wu was at a loss as to what to do.
In the real world, he is good at dealing with all kinds of emotional issues, including female fallen friends, male fallen friends, and socialites of the Tower Investigation Corps. It seems that he understands the affairs between men and women better than Liu Chengzi.
But the truth is... he is not interested in matters between men and women.
Who has time for romance during the apocalyptic adventure
This also led to Bai Wu not doing many things.
"Ah what? Kiss me before you leave, or I won't let you go to work."
Of course, Yan Jiu is not like this. The real Yan Jiu would faint from joy if he was kissed by Bai Wu.
Of course, it’s hard to say. Maybe the setting of this game is that Yan Jiu and I are an old married couple...
"Okay, stop messing around. I have something urgent to do today, so I came back to bring you a gift."
Bai Wu decided not to take advantage of this.
Bai Wu fled in panic, his heart pounding... Well, his heartbeat was normal. He was an emotionless man who focused on drawing his sword.
Bai Wu did not comment on this review. It was not as interesting to be a woman as to be an explorer.
We still need to figure out what the rules of this city are.
"According to Hong Yin, there are several areas in this world. It is very likely that I have experienced these areas in reality..."
"But the rules of these areas have been distorted. The Ninth Mental Hospital should have been empty, but it was filled with patients. Although it was discovered in the end that the patients were actually transformed by the resentment emitted by Hong Yin."
"Then this place, in theory, is also an adventure I have experienced, but because of severe distortion, it has become unrecognizable to me..."
"Which scene is this..."
These thoughts flashed through Bai Wu's mind in an instant.
At this time, the elevator door opened. Bai Wu lived on the twelfth floor of a building on Xuefu Street in Baichuan City.
It was rush hour in the morning and there were other people in the elevator.
A little boy of 11 or 12 years old, a middle-aged man with a school bag, and an old woman wearing reading glasses and a construction hat.
Bai Wu thought it was strange that the old woman was wearing such a hat.
This is usually the hat of the construction site contractor, and it even has the words "Safety First" written on it.
But he was not familiar with these people and did not speak to them, but it was normal for old people to behave strangely.
Just looking at the middle-aged man who looked a little tired and unhappy, I guessed that this middle-aged man was probably in a hurry to go to work, but had to send his children to school.
The displeasure on his face probably came from the fact that this was something that should have been done by the child's mother.
He ignored it and returned his gaze to the countdown next to the yellowed pages.
What will happen after forty-eight hours
In any of the scenarios you have experienced, have you ever had the concept of countdown
He thought about it carefully, but found that he couldn't remember anything at all.
"First of all, we should not limit our thinking to Baichuan City."
"Since the Ninth Mental Hospital has appeared in Food City, this means that the map has completely changed."
"This place is Baichuan City, but it is also possible that the guardian of this city is distorted and comes from other areas other than Baichuan City."
The elevator arrived at the sixth floor, and a little girl about the same age as the little boy walked in with a garbage bag, ready to take out the trash.
At this moment, I felt a little weird.
Shouldn't this little girl go to school? If this teenage boy also goes to school
The little girl came in, looked at everyone, and then said something very normal yet very strange:
"Sending the kids to school?"
Bai Wu hadn't noticed the look in the little girl's eyes at this time.
Because he was still staring at the countdown.
Although the atmosphere in the elevator was a bit strange, it wasn't to the point where Bai Wu immediately noticed something was wrong...
until…
The little boy spoke:
"Yeah, I'm sending my kids to school. Where are your kids?"
"He went to school early with the child's father."
"That's great. He's not like my kid who just loves to stay in bed."
The elevator stopped at this time.
Bai Wu's Tong Kong also trembled at this moment.
The huge sense of disobedience finally erupted in an instant.
Bai Wu looked at the two children in surprise. The little boy and girl, who were about ten years old, felt a little uncomfortable facing Bai Wu's strange gaze, but they nodded out of politeness.
The little boy didn't like Bai Wu's look, and said to the middle-aged man next to him:
"You have to behave well today and listen to your teacher at school, okay?"
The reluctant middle-aged man nodded uncomfortably.
The phone suddenly rang, coming from the old woman in the helmet.
When the old woman saw the caller ID, she immediately nodded and bowed:
"Hey, Brother Li, I'm Xiao Hu. I'm sorry to bother you so early. The main thing is that the construction site... really can't start work! Can you help to speed up the process?"
Can you imagine an old man speaking slowly but should be speaking quickly
Everyone in the elevator seemed to be in a strange position...
Not only identity but also social relations have become distorted.
At this moment, Bai Wu finally realized—
This game is related to the area you have experienced.
