Baichuan City on the fifth level of the Well World.
After leaving the community, Bai Wu originally wanted to observe the world more.
He actually wanted to target someone, such as the teenage boy, and get to the bottom of the matter.
How did you give birth to such a big son in his thirties
I also want to ask the old lady wearing the construction safety helmet, can she withstand going to the construction site at this age
But he didn't speak.
As time passed, he was going to be late.
This is a very strange thing.
Bai Wu is certainly not a workaholic who regards 996 as gospel. He doesn't even care about work at all.
But the problem is that when the time gets closer to the last minute to punch in for work, he feels inexplicably anxious.
So Bai Wu said nothing, asked nothing, and quickened his pace.
This feeling is very strange.
Bai Wu had this strange feeling as early as when Yan Jiu called out the word "dear".
It was as if he had instantly accepted that he was Yan Jiu's man, and even had to play this role well.
Bai Wu had experienced this kind of game of pretending to be a house before, and that was in Violet's manor.
It’s just that if I didn’t act well at that time, I would suffer some painful things.
Almost everything has to follow the procedure, otherwise you will be punished.
But now it’s different…
When Bai Wu left, there was no long banquet and no punishment.
But he felt that everything became even more terrible.
“In the manor, although everything is forced, the inner resistance is real.”
"But now... I have no objection at all, I even think it's reasonable..."
Bai Wu now possesses powerful mental power, and there is even a mental power ceiling in his body.
Even so, he still felt that he had subtly accepted this setting. It can be imagined that... others might have been completely hypnotized.
There is no need for punishment. Once they enter this city, their identities and social relationships are all determined.
And their hearts will also be influenced by some force and they will completely accept this setting.
It just seems that at present... the disadvantages brought by the distortion have not yet been fully manifested.
The nightmarish urban experience of hunting for strange things has just begun.
At the entrance of the community, Bai Wu’s car was scratched by Yan Jiu not long ago and is still under warranty.
He was quite puzzled by this memory, as it suddenly emerged in his mind that a major traffic accident occurred in the center of the city.
At this point, Bai Wu still didn't understand why the traffic accident happened.
Until he arrived at the gate of the community and called an online taxi.
There were many people waiting for the bus, but not many people in the elevator. Bai Wu didn't notice it at the time, but only realized it now...
There are quite a few evil people among those waiting for the bus.
Nearly half of these evil creatures are missing limbs, so it is not surprising for people to see them.
Bai Wu, on the other hand, was very concerned about these evil creatures and humans. Why were so many of them incomplete
After getting into the car, Bai Wu said the address very naturally. The taxi driver yawned and said in an extremely tired tone:
"Okay... Then you, sit tight."
This familiar voice is Zheng Yue again.
Bai Wu was stunned. Everything was exactly the same as in Zhou Zeshui's memory.
Yan Jiu was his wife, and Zheng Yue became a taxi driver.
So will the next image ambassador be Lin Wurou
But before Bai Wu had time to complain too much, he realized something was wrong.
Zheng Yue stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and kept pressing it without releasing it, and the speed of the car continued to increase.
As we drive out of the community, there are more and more vehicles on the road.
Every car... is running at full speed!
With Bai Wu's current dynamic vision, even if these cars were running at full speed, in his eyes they would be no different from being stationary.
But this does not mean that what is happening now is not worth paying attention to.
"Hey...would you like to try to drive slower?"
Zheng Yue did not respond to Bai Wu, because although Zheng Yue's feet were on the steering wheel, his upper body was almost lying on the steering wheel.
He fell asleep.
This is very Zheng Yue. This person is always in a half-asleep state, and his eye bags are so big that they can hold two watermelons.
But Bai Wu didn't expect to be able to fall asleep at this critical moment.
And through the car window, Zheng Yue was not the only one seeing this strange thing. There was a young child with hands too small to hold the steering wheel driving the car, and even a pacifier in his mouth. Damn it, how could this child step on the accelerator in this situation!
There are also old people with blurry eyes and wearing reading glasses driving, and the expressions of the passengers are very real... but also very strange.
Bai Wu could see the panic on the faces of these passengers.
But the passengers' only choice is to fasten their seat belts and wait to die.
It's really like waiting for death. In such a traffic environment, extremely tired driving, a child driving a large car, a person with low vision driving... it would be strange if there were no major traffic accidents.
But once these passengers get in the car... it's like they accept the passenger's settings and just fasten their seat belts.
I was scared to death, but I didn't scream...
It feels like sitting in a perfectly normal car.
Then, another car accident belonging to this city occurred on the overpass.
A series of car accidents occurred and a major traffic accident occurred on the overpass.
Countless drivers, passengers, humans, and evildoers were thrown dozens of meters away in the collision.
Bai Wu thought this was a scene that could only be seen in San Andreas or Los Santos... Unexpectedly, he saw the real-life version in this place.
Zheng Yue's car was deformed after being hit.
Zheng Yue's face was covered in blood. He looked at the broken car window, wiped the blood off his face, yawned, and fell asleep again.
Bai Wu had to look at the pages of the book above his head, hoping to get some answers.
This time, the book pages were really generous and revealed some of the rules of the game.
The car door opened, and it was obvious that the car had not completed its mission. After the countdown was over, it might be assigned to a worse role.
However, Bai Wu's brief stint as a passenger has ended, and he did a great job, without yelling or even showing any panic.
Although he did not kiss his wife in the morning, which resulted in him not doing a good enough job as a husband, he still had a chance to make up for it in the evening. He could do something that even the will of the world would not allow to be described.
Bai Wu understood...
Everyone plays many roles every day.
When you return home, you are part of the family, like a son, a father, a daughter, a mother.
Or husband, wife.
But when you go to different places, your identity will also change.
In school, you will become a teacher or a student; in a company, you will become a boss or a subordinate.
In the car as a passenger or driver...
But no matter what, once an identity is established, you have to play that identity well...
According to the description on the page, it is very likely that the countdown is a period of assessment and evaluation.
If the countdown ends, the role-playing will end, and their new identity will be determined based on their performance during the time period.
Some people may get a better status, some people may get a worse status.
The dragon slayer thought that this world was not bad. At least it gave everyone a chance. It was not like the real world, where the road to more wealth was blocked by capitalists...
As long as you play the role of a good employee, a good husband, and every role around you well, you can get a better identity and better living conditions. What a perfect world!
The words on the pages of the book appeared, and these thoughts instantly emerged in Bai Wu's mind. These words seemed to appear in his consciousness.
But soon, he noticed this mental invasion:
"You can't change my will, so save your effort."
After getting out of the deformed car door, Bai Wu, with his strong physique, naturally didn't care about the swelling and his skin wasn't even scratched.
He was even surprised that Zheng Yue was bleeding.
But the moment he stepped out of the car, Bai Wu still felt the distortion and collapse of this world.
The overpass was full of vehicles that had been deformed by speeding, and more vehicles were gathering behind them.
When the passengers were identified, many began to call for help.
But the people around were extremely indifferent and no one came to the rescue because they were busy at work and had to play their roles well.
Are there people in this world who can play every role well in life
Bai Wu believes the answer to this question is no.
Someone may play the role of a boss or a hero well, but to the woman who is waiting for him, he is not even a qualified boyfriend.
In order to provide better living conditions for his children, the father starts working hard, but he may also neglect to discipline his children.
Human identity is… often complex.
Who is going to judge whether a role is played properly? Who is qualified to comment
Standing on the intricate overpass, I watched some people wipe the blood off their faces, drag their broken bodies, and walk towards the company with expressionless faces...
Seeing the cars behind him getting into accidents at full speed, seeing the pedestrians leaving indifferently, and seeing someone finally unable to bear it, his survival instinct made him give up his role and choose to call for help...
Amidst the vast crowd, in the center of the city... Bai Wu saw an extremely sick and deformed city.
At the construction site, many elderly people fell to the ground because they could not bear the heavy physical work.
As for the management of various places, because the managers were the children who were assigned the positions of managers in the last countdown, they neglected management and problems began to occur in many buildings.
Fire, smelly sewers, car accidents, buildings without power...
Various accidents happened constantly, and in every corner of the city, due to the confusion of identities...
This leads to a lot of problems.
How easy is it to play every role well in a city like this
Bai Wu finally chose not to save people. He was sure that this was the norm in this city, and if he didn't find the source of all the distortions... he wouldn't be able to truly save these people.
Otherwise, they will still die in various accidents tomorrow.
Bai Wu took a step forward and headed towards the company like those indifferent people.
But deep down in his heart, he had already buried some anger...
…
…
Baichuan City, an unknown corner.
In a dark alley, a child held a knife to an old man's chin.
"It's so fun! It's so fun! Last time I made a wish for the identity of a chivalrous hero! I really got this identity!"
"I want to rob the rich and give to the poor!"
The children's excited shouts could be heard by people outside the alley.
However, no one outside the alley wants to meddle in other people's business.
The next time this child is assigned an identity, some memories will be deleted and some will be retained.
Maybe he will remember the pleasure of doing evil, and next time, he will become an even more perverted villain.
But no one cares. Everyone just wants to play their own role well before the countdown begins.
If you rashly participate in something, you will rashly create a new identity.
It’s like there is a convenience store outside the alley, and the convenience store owner has a good identity this time. He is assigned a role where both his parents have passed away and he has no wife or children.
He doesn't even have any friends. He just runs a convenience store and all he has to do is play the role of a convenience store owner.
If he helps the old man who is being "robbed of the rich to help the poor" at this time, he will have to temporarily add the identity of a "caring citizen".
God knows if this identity will bring me trouble
As long as you don't mind your own business... once the countdown is up, you will get a better status.
He's just an old man and a bad kid, there's no need to bother with them.
“Hurry up, call out the money, hahahahaha… Don’t resist! Old man, the role I’m playing allows me to stab you to death!”
The blade almost pierced into the old man's dry skin.
The child's face showed a perverted fanaticism.
He had been watching TV a few days ago and liked the heroes who wielded swords and robbed the rich to help the poor. Although... he was later assigned to the "gangsters", in his opinion, he was a hero.
This old man's money is just ill-gotten gains from greed! I am doing good things!
"Should I try to kill someone? It's not a big deal anyway, right? Even if I did something like this in this identity... I'll be a good guy again in the next identity, right?"
An even crazier idea emerged in the child's mind.
"I changed my mind! I'm going to kill you, hahahahahaha, kill you!"
A few tears squeezed out of the old man's eyes...
He suddenly regretted that he should not have wished to be an old widower.
He originally had a son who was dependent on him, and an old partner who was hoping he would die soon so that they could divide the inheritance.
Such a son and wife are naturally the embodiment of his failure in life, so he hopes that in his next identity he can be alone.
Now he is truly alone, and in this critical moment, no one is even willing to help him.
He was about to die, feeling the tip of the knife going deeper and deeper, and the blood flowing out bit by bit... He was filled with fear.
There is no real death in this city. Death will only be counted as a failure... The next time you change your identity, you will be assigned a worse one.
He was afraid of such a life... He only hoped that the next time he was assigned an identity, his memory of his previous identity would be completely cleared.
But just when the knife was about to pierce his throat, the tip of the knife... suddenly moved away.
"Let me go! Let me go!" The boy widened his eyes and looked angrily at the man who was only a head taller than him but had seemingly endless strength.
"I'm killing bad guys! I'm robbing the rich and giving to the poor! I'm a hero!"
The act of "robbing the rich to help the poor" was stopped, which made the children who played the gangsters angry and embarrassed.
"Don't insult the word 'xia'."
The man already had a face that was intimidating even without being angry, but once he got angry, his eyes would become even more terrifying.
Bang! He slapped the naughty kid so hard that his front teeth flew off.
Snap, snap, snap…
After several slaps in a row, with the force controlled with incredible precision, the child's face became swollen like a pig's head.
Then he nodded to the old man:
"you can go now."
“Thank… Thank you!”
The old man thanked him sincerely. He never expected that someone would come to rescue him.
Every time they change their identities, they lose a lot of memory.
It was like starting over again, but deep down I knew one thing...
You must play each identity well, otherwise you will get a very painful identity next time.
Over time, everyone hopes that their identities will be simpler and the roles they play will not be too complicated...
No one likes to meddle in other people's business.
So being rescued surprised the old man...
This young man who looks only about 1.6 meters tall might be new
Out of kindness, and because the other party had saved him, he decided to teach the other party some experience of surviving in this world:
"Young man, thank you for today, but in this city, you must learn not to meddle in other people's business... Otherwise, you may get into some very troublesome things, which will bring you some very troublesome identities..."
This man is Wujiu.
Wujiu plays the role of a chef this time, and his restaurant is nearby.
At this time, many of his memories had been erased. He was not like Bai Wu, who could retain his own memories.
But Wujiu still felt that he seemed to have very important things to do and a very important person to protect.
This feeling lingered, so he tried hard to recall and figure out who he was supposed to protect...
He couldn't figure it out, so he went out to get some fresh air, and then he ran into a kid dressed as a robber in the alley, robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
Although many memories have been cleared, Wujiu is still Wujiu in his heart.
Hearing the old man's words, Wujiu frowned with a bit of disgust:
"I don't care about your identity. You are not young anymore. Before you play various roles, I hope you can play the role of a person first."
