Chapter 18: Office outside

Views:

Song Gui turned around and took a few steps, then stopped suddenly. He patted his head and said to himself in frustration, "Oh? I just forgot to ask him to bring some things like bed pillows back from the illusion. …”

The things in this illusion are fake, but the taste and touch are all real. The houses of each of them are empty and there is nothing, except for the little time they can come out, and the time to accept the task and enter the "bureau". At other times, everyone can only stay alone in that lonely and cold world. Only lying on the ground, Song Gui and the others, who are already considered "old people", will look at the opportunity to add something to their "house" within the scope allowed by the rules.

Although they are in this space, they are not old or dead, not lacking or tired, but they still want to try their best to add some popularity to themselves.

After self-examination for a while, Song Gui sat at another food stall, ordered food, and muttered while eating: "Forget it, I will remind future allies tomorrow."

———

At the same time, Lu Chu returned to his own space.

There was a huge gap between the bustling street and the feeling of returning to calm in an instant. Looking at the pure white world with no boundaries, Lu Chu could imagine how terrifying it would be if he stayed here like this for the rest of his life.

It would take at least 20 hours before seeing Song Gui again the next day and asking him about the situation, so Lu Chu simply walked to the floating screen to observe the "rules" that Song Gui mentioned.

Speaking of which, he didn't completely trust Song Gui either. After all, he was just meeting him for the first time, and in such a situation where he didn't know the unexpected and who would come first tomorrow, anyone would be wary.

Although Song Gui will not be honest with him, he should not deceive him in the general direction. Lu Chu believes that he can get these basic things from the rules, but there are objective hints from the rules and subjective suggestions from people who have experienced it. saving grace. So far, the only thing that is unclear is Song Gui's purpose.

After all, he couldn't really be so friendly and polite to him just because he was having fun

Thinking about it this way, maybe it is also possible...? Well, Lu Chu felt that he was thinking too much.

In any case, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being vigilant with a little trust.

After thinking about it, Lu Chu has come to the area where the square screen floats.

The existence of these "rules" made Lu Chu feel uncomfortable being watched.

He looked at these screens one by one, and found that every screen he moved, after changing the hands and feet of paper figurines, appeared—

"Request: XXX

Lead: XXX

Prompt: XXX".

This should be to enter the "bureau" and the task. Each different "bureau" has a different number at the bottom of the screen. Lu Chu thinks this may be for the purpose of distinguishing. There is a button to choose to enter in the lower right corner—look at it this way Come, on the surface, it gives them relative "freedom" and the right to choose. Everyone knows the truth. Next, Lu Chu discovered that some rules were still marked at the end, the number of people who could enter this "game".

And this is probably the two-person or even multi-person task that Song Gui said, asking himself if he wants to complete it together.

Lu Chu already has a deep understanding of how dangerous each "game" is. Under such circumstances, choosing someone who doesn't know the truth to enter the "game" together is far less enjoyable than doing it alone. At least you don't have to worry about being betrayed. Here, Lu Chu didn't understand Song Gui's intention even more.

Afterwards, Lu Chu spent a while browsing through all the "rules" that had appeared. The reason why he said they had appeared was that before the start of the last round, Lu Chu clearly remembered that there were thirteen squares here. The screen, that is, the thirteen rules, and after he completed the previous game, the rules here are still thirteen, and none of them are the same as the previous game.

From this point of view, the number of rules in the space is certain, and if there is a shortage, it will be filled.

Lu Chu tried to communicate with the "rules", never thinking that they really answered his question.

From the inquiry of the rules, Lu Chu knew the most basic needs to know-these were not too different from what Song Gui told him. In addition, he also knew that the tasks on the thirteen screens are not static and will be replaced every once in a while. If there are some tasks that people have intended before but have not made up their minds about whether to choose, they can remember them first. Remember its number, and the rules will naturally find out that "round" for him at that time.

At the same time, the rounds that have been played cannot be repeated; other people can enter the rounds that have already been played.

In other words, everything in the game is repeated.

Some people repeat disasters, some people repeat death.

Furthermore, Lu Chu knew that people who were controlled by the same rule would get double the free time when more than one person was performing a task, 20 minutes for two people, 30 minutes for three people, and so on.

It's just that the more people there are, the more difficult it is.

Of course, the mission will only be considered complete if the people who carry out the mission together have to come out of the game alive at the same time.

Lu Chusi, it seems that Song Gui has taken a fancy to this.

The task of two people is more difficult than that of one person, but it is not so difficult, it is not as difficult as the team task. However, Song Gui didn't know anything about Lu Chu, but he wanted to join forces with him. Was he willing to go all out to believe in Lu Chu's ability, or was he too confident in himself

Knowing these things, Lu Chu decided to let go of his thoughts first, so that the brain and tense nerves that had been running at high speed for too long could have a rest, so he sat on the spot casually and closed his eyes. The whiteness of this empty place is not as reassuring as the blackness in which nothing can be seen.

After resting for a while, in order to pass the time and increase his chances of surviving each round, Lu Chu started doing sit-ups, jogging and other exercises. By the way, he activated his brain during this process. He has already discovered that he will not feel tired at all here, let alone sleepy.

In this case, Lu Chu could not even feel the passage of time.

In this way, in the blink of an eye, a day passed, and the bracelet on Lu Chu's hand beeped, which caught his attention. He looked down and saw that the time displayed on it started counting down from "54'59". Very soon Apparently, five minutes were deducted from Lu Chu's free time after one day.

At the same time, a door appeared in front of Lu Chu.

Without hesitation, Lu Chu raised his foot and walked out.

The moment he stepped out, the dazzling warm light made Lu Chu squint his eyes. After he got used to the light, he suddenly realized that the outside world had turned into a children's park in warm spring. Entertainment facilities such as playgrounds, childlike slides and swings, and colorful Ferris wheels not far away. During the period, the trees are green, and the sound of birds can be heard occasionally, and the warm sunshine is shining down in large swaths.

Looking at such a scene, Lu Chu was stunned for a while, and then he got out of the unreal feeling that he really had eyesight.

"Yo! Chu Chu!" Song Gui also walked out through the same door that Lu Chu came out of. When he saw Lu Chu, he greeted him enthusiastically. After he saw the outside world clearly, his tone couldn't hide his joy, and he raised his eyebrows. , "This time is not bad, you can have fun."

Lu Chu said politely, "Mr. Song."

"Hahaha—" Song Gui leaned back and laughed when he heard him addressing himself, and walked over to stop Lu Chu's shoulder while laughing, "You are so cute, don't be so polite, just call me Song Gui." !"

"Song Gui."

Song Gui was amused when he heard the words, and dragged Lu Chu to the children's slide: "Come on, let's play first."

Lu Chu stood in front of the slide silently, and after repeated pushbacks, Song Gui finally gave up the idea of letting him go on the children's slide, and climbed up by himself.

It is said that it is a children's slide, and the height and width are naturally designed according to the height of the child. Song Gui is tall, at least 1.8 meters, and the whole person is nestled at the mouth of the slide. With a sound, he slid down from below, and at the end he called Lu Chu to come closer so that he could admire his heroic appearance.

Lu Chu was speechless, and slowly turned his back.

At this time, another twelve-year-old girl walked out of the door, it was the little loli that day, she was carrying a machete, and she saw Song Gui who was trying to climb up the slide again at a glance, her mouth curled up, and she rolled her eyes and said : "Retarded." Then I couldn't help but glanced again, rolled my eyes even more and said, "Idiot,"

Then he walked towards the entertainment facilities without looking back.

Lu Chu was surprised by her age, and asked Song Gui, "She is also..."

This problem is obvious, but Lu Chu can't imagine why such a big child would be involved in such a dangerous thing.

Song Gui nodded: "You don't think she is small, she is only fourteen years old, but she has a very hard heart. You must not underestimate any 'old man'. By the way, you may not believe it—"

Lu Chu was curious: "What?"

"She came—" Song Gui smiled slyly at Lu Chu, "before me."

This really surprised Lu Chu, and felt very strange in his heart.

During this period, several people came out of the door one after another. As for the middle-aged man Lu Chu saw yesterday, he never appeared.

As for his ending, it is self-evident.

"Oh, oh!" Song Gui jumped down from the children's slide, grabbed Lu Chu's shoulders and led him to the entertainment facilities, shouting, "We don't have much time, Chuchu, you don't even look right I..." As he spoke, he put on a very aggrieved look, his shoulders slumped and he said, "Forget it, let's talk about business."

Realizing that his so-called serious business refers to two people carrying out tasks together, Lu Chu followed his strength and followed him on the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel started, and Song Gui smiled: "Haha, if you talk about things here, you won't be discovered."

"Are you saying that you can avoid the constraints of the 'rules' by entering the Ferris wheel?"

"Does not."

"..."

Following the slowly rising Ferris wheel, Song Gui looked down and said, "Let's have some psychological comfort. In fact, whether it's in the illusion, or in our respective houses, or in every game, we are all beaten by three hundred and six Ten degrees of perfect surveillance."

Realizing that Song Gui didn't want to talk too much with him on this matter, Lu Chu didn't ask any more, but asked instead: "Then, is the time here synchronized with the 'bureau'? If I If you choose 'Boundary' and enter the 'Boundary', will the five minutes per day be deducted as usual?"

This question is very important. If the time in the "office" is synchronized with the time here, when he enters the "office", the time will be deducted correctly, and his task happens to be in the "office" for a long time , By the time he completes the task and comes back, the free time may have already become a negative number.

Song Gui shook his head: "You don't have to worry about this. Although the 'bureau' is synchronized with the time here, as long as you start the mission, the time in the bracelet will not change."

In this way, the problem that Lu Chu is most worried about at present will not happen.

Now that things have come to an end, he suddenly finds that everything in his life is false, and things have developed to such a weird point now. Now that the future is full of fog, Lu Chu can only take one step at a time, and learn about it from these people who were also selected. Issues.

On the other side, Song Gui looked at the time on his bracelet, then at Lu Chu's, and decided to make a long story short. His attitude became serious, and he said to Lu Chu: "Since your problem is solved, then come and answer me. How do you think about carrying out missions together?"

Lu Chu looked at Song Gui solemnly, but did not speak.

Song Gui continued: "I think you also know something from the 'rules'? So you can rest assured that I am really interested in the multiplied free time in multiplayer tasks. At the same time, we are the same The 'rules' constrain the supervision. In this case, we must be companions in multiplayer missions. If any party fails to meet the requirements and comes back alive, it will be considered a failure. Based on this, you don't have to worry about me harming you at all. Besides—"

Since he asked about the rules, Lu Chu had already thought about these key points before, and now he was moved by Song Gui's words, but when he heard his "besides" turning point, he asked unconsciously: "Besides what? "

Song Gui's serious expression changed, and he wailed, "Besides, I really fell in love with you at first sight, Chuchu!"

Lu Chu smiled softly, and pushed his face away from her.

"About the mission you mentioned, I agree."

No matter what Song Gui's purpose is, he can't do anything to himself when the rules require "two people survive at the same time".

Song Gui was naturally happy, and immediately told Lu Chu the number of the task he had chosen. The two agreed that when Lu Chu's time came, Song Gui would also directly enter the door, and the two of them would accept the task at the same time.

After the two reached an agreement, Song Gui pulled Lu Chu excitedly, saying that he wanted to have fun before his time ran out. Song Gui's purpose is that every illusion is different, so he should enjoy it every time, and he can travel around for free.

It is true that Lu Chu has never played these entertainment facilities, but he is not afraid, but has expectations.

When the jumping machine fell from the highest point, Lu Chu asked: "If the facilities here break down, will we be fine?"

After all, Song Gui said that there is only one way for them to die, and that is to die in the "game".

Director Song is handsome and handsome, but he always likes to laugh—I can’t say anything else, at least he is stupid, I saw him waving his hand and laughing: “Of course, after all, we are immortal, no—”

Lu Chu was puzzled: "Nothing?"

Song Gui blinked innocently: "No shit."

Lu Chu: "..."
