Matryoshka Off-Limits

Chapter 71: Crazy Love Season (revised)

Views:

A terrifying shock wave swept over, and Wen Shi’s explosion-proof suit came into play. Others fell to the ground and spit out blood, but he just coughed twice.

A little scarecrow's head popped out of his arms, with all the straw going into his mouth. After spitting out a straw, his big eyeballs rolled around in his eye sockets.

As they stared at each other, Wen Shi brushed off the dust on him and said, "Fortunately, your eyeballs didn't pop out."

When the scarecrow was lying down earlier, the cat's tail rolled up the scarecrow in time, as it was almost blown into the sky. Now the bat's wings were still holding the slender and soft tail, with the little head resting on it.

The scarecrow's hat was blown off, and slender fingers helped to tidy up the straw on his head.

Wen Shi treated Jian Qingrong with a little more patience than he did with other people. In the last copy, he used half of his life to plot against this man and had been using him to pass the level, but Jian Qingrong did not ask for anything from him.

This is contrary to Wen Shi's style of doing things in a way that neither party owes the other.

Wen Shi stood up and looked back at the blazing sea of fire. Half of the city was reduced to ruins in the flames.

The young man's sexy Adam's apple moved guiltily, and his cat ears trembled. He stood there for three seconds, and his guilt was gradually replaced by doubt. The game didn't send a warning. Was it confused by the explosion

It’s clear that the mechanical voice was complaining about his nesting dolls over a trivial matter not long ago.

Wen Shi had no idea that the blame lay with the handsome uncle, and in essence he was still himself in the parallel world.

So this performance in which he was almost blown up is called karma: I am the nesting doll.

If you are a spectator in the game, when you see someone busy running around, you might even give him a reward in the live broadcast room.

Wen Shi didn't know what he was thinking. He ran back for a distance, climbed up a telephone pole and looked into the distance.

In the back, the host was so angry that he rushed to the sea of fire as soon as possible: "Camera! Is the camera okay?"

The staff tried their best to hold him back, saying with a sad face: "It's gone, it was blown away. Fortunately, we still have a few drones to follow it."

Host: "Quick, send a drone back."

Facing the drone hovering overhead, he wanted to wipe the dust off his face with his sleeve, but his suit got burned even more, so he had to give up.

"Dear viewers, an unexpected situation just occurred. But it also proves the watchability of our show. Please stay tuned to see which enemies will appear next!"

At this moment, even Big Eyeball was shocked by this kind of professional ethics.

Employees who leave large factories are willing to devote themselves to their work, but I never expected that there are people out there who would not stop working until they die.

"Pei, Wen, Wei!" A resentful voice came from below.

Wen Shi looked over and saw Tian Wanling, who was standing next to a trash can not far away, with her eyes rolled up due to the explosion. She said grimly, "Is it you?"

Wen Shi shook his head, as if to say, "Don't talk nonsense."

"If it's not you, why are you wearing an explosion-proof suit?" Tian Wanling got up and asked bitterly, "How did you survive to this day with so many powerful enemies?"

Looking at this scene, even arms dealers are there.

Wen Shi told the truth: "As you can see, they are all dead."

For those who are not dead, the crimes they committed are enough to sentence them to life imprisonment.

Tian Wanling closed her eyes tightly. At this moment, all the players, including her, finally understood why the game set the resurrection time at three seconds.

What can you do in three seconds

A: You can press the fire button.

Wen Shi jumped off the electric pole. The strongest wave of enemies had already left, and things should be much easier from now on.

Previously, he was most worried about encountering Tu Bianxi's [Ghost Wall] The combination of a maze that made it impossible to escape and hail of bullets would mean a dead end. However, the ghost wall did not appear yet.

Could it be that Tu Bianxi is still alive

Thinking of this, Wen Shi bowed to the sky: "Thank God."

No, we should thank Tu Bianxi for his hard work.

He dragged his heavy steps to meet up with Liu Yun and the others. After meeting them, he said directly: "Now we can find a place to hide."

Apart from the hearse and the car that fell into the ditch, there was no car on the street. Without transportation, the distance between the players was not too far. The previous changes happened too quickly, and everyone had no time to communicate. Now that they were gathered together, the male player panted and said, "Each of you should tell me the enemy you need to pay the most attention to, so that you can be prepared in advance when hiding."

The male player’s name is Sun Geng, and his skill is the same as Zhang Suihe’s, [Fishing].

Most skills in the dungeon overlap, and only a very small number of rare skills are possessed by a single player.

He proposed a very correct solution to the problem, but no one spoke.

Compared to that missile, it seems that no enemy can even stand a chance.

Wen Shi thought of the players like Luo Xiao he met in the endgame. They were very good at calculating people, but their physical attacks were okay. Most of the props in the mall were only for ghosts. The ones that could directly blow up the stairs of the castle needed to be obtained from the dungeon, and only a few players had them.

"I should be fine here." He said after thinking for a while.

The trust between people was about to be blown away. Ji Yuanzhi wiped the black dust off his lenses and asked, "Are you sure?"

Wen Shi nodded and looked back: "Besides, there probably aren't many enemies left."

The destructive power of the missiles swept across many places, and I believe that many people were killed as soon as they were resurrected.

Yes, this is a blessing in disguise.

After everyone adjusted their states, they regained their spirits and finally chose a skyscraper as their hiding place. This is a well-known tourist attraction in Tianhai City. There is a telescope on the top floor of the skyscraper, which makes it easy to get a glimpse of most areas of the city.

Half of the people stayed

The game is fair in this respect. Those who survive long are almost all players who can control their power alone.

They were not the only ones who ran to higher ground. About three streets away from here, a resurrected old player was very experienced. After climbing up and looking around, he started shouting with a loudspeaker: "There are drones! Pay more attention to where the drones are!"

"I go."

On the top floor, Tian Wanling's severe head injury could not be healed for the time being, so she had to drink potions every once in a while. She showed off another bottle and said, "Whose dragon and phoenix are these?"

Ji Yuanzhi took the initiative to claim the title, and even said in a nostalgic tone: "This person has been dead for many years. He is the player I met when I entered the first dungeon."

The air became quiet again.

The first instance killed someone? You are capable enough.

Tian Wanling never took her eyes off the telescope, adjusting the focus distance and capturing several suspicious moving black spots on the ground.

"I'll use [fabric] to make a few low-level fire-collecting dolls," Tian Wanling said to Ji Yuanzhi, "You try to see if you can confuse their perception."

She had dealt with players with hallucinogenic skills before. Ji Yuanzhi was able to escape from the main group in Fengguan Village without anyone noticing, so he must have similar skills.

Seeing them get off the elevator, Wen Shi hurried to follow them. At this moment, his tail was wagging like a puppy. He took the initiative to ask, "What do you need me to do?"

The two were silent, and finally Tian Wanling said, "You'd better stay here, you adult version of a fire-collecting doll."

The elevator door opened, and when they were about to walk in, Wen Shi suddenly said, "Don't do anything stupid."

Tian Wanling stopped suddenly.

Wen Shi returned to the huge French window and looked at the places where the firefights broke out: "This link is called soul-stealing and has nothing to do with the people who care about us."

It's just a chase, and the game doesn't waste effort in creating virtual characters that care about them.

Tian Wanling was not a brave person and was injured. She obviously had other reasons for going down at this time. When the host introduced the cause of death, her only immediate reaction was to ask if people could really turn into ghosts after death. Wen Shi probably knew what she was thinking.

When entering the elevator, Tian Wanling was a little dazed, and it was Ji Yuanzhi who pressed the door closing button.

Tian Wanling laughed at herself: "My mother died of heavy bleeding while giving birth to me."

She had thought about trying to find the other person in this city.

Ji Yuanzhi did not say anything to comfort her. When he thought of the four words "live towards death", his eyes darkened.

Some skills can be used in combination, like Ghost Wall and Missile, the power of one plus one is far greater than the power of two.

The two worked together to capture an enemy alive, and placed a fire-collecting doll on the enemy to attract fire and use it as a shield.

While others are working hard, Wen Shi just sits back and waits for the outcome.

He was studying the wings of Big Eyeball. Monsters could not leave the game at will. This body would probably be unusable once it left the copy. Wen Shi couldn't help but think of Tian Wanling's [Fabric Art] skill. He wondered if Big Eyeball could possess the doll.

Grabbing the little wings, Wen Shi whispered two words into the scarecrow's ear in a very low voice.

The breath floated to his face, and the scarecrow went from being shy at the beginning to having a serious look in his big eyes when Wen Shi finished speaking.

"Can you do it?" Wen Shi asked with a smile.

The scarecrow lowered his head, indicating that everything was left to it.

"Attention, there are three minutes left before this life-claim."

The system suddenly sent a prompt.

Wen Shi stretched his arms and legs and began to walk downstairs, ready to meet up with the program crew.

At this point, the surviving resurrected beings basically no longer pose a threat.

The players all began to move towards the hearse one after another.

Sun Geng picked up the dice. It was the only thing that was not affected by the explosion. There was not even a speck of black ash on the surface. Tian Wanling's experience in dice throwing told him that the result of the throw was related to the player's initial luck value, and the lucky props could not have a great effect in increasing the effect.

He threw it directly into the air and hit a [4].

As the second hearse did not arrive for a long time, the player resigned himself to his fate and got into the broken car.

The bloody smell in the air was completely covered by the smell of gunpowder. All the windows of the hearse, including the sturdy windshield, were shattered, and the outside of the car was pitch black.

Sun Geng took a quick look and saw that the seats were covered with broken glass, so he had to settle for the next best option, the upright handrails.

"Where's the host? Is he still there?" He originally wanted to guess from the host's expression whether they would encounter danger at the next stop. However, the staff of the program crew were all covered in black from the explosion, and the cameras carried by the camera crew were gone. At a glance, he couldn't tell who was who.

In a pile of black charcoal, the host was so angry that his eyes twitched.

The hearse without its doors is back on the road.

The damage to the external structure did not affect its takeoff at all. When it accelerated, the wind blowing from all directions distorted the people's faces.

Wen Shi's body transformation time was up again, and he did not continue for the time being. After losing the support of his tail, he clung to the long pole tightly.

"Bad review," the wind blew into his mouth, making a gurgling noise, and Wen Shi's cheeks were almost blown into a hamster, "Definitely a bad review..."

He hated this drifting hearse!

Everyone felt the same, but couldn't even open their mouths to curse.

The aftereffects of the explosion had not yet subsided. After the hearse had traveled 800 kilometers, the first thing the player did was to find a place to rest. Only after feeling a little better did he pay attention to what was at this stop.

The cold wind blew the fallen leaves around in the air, and there was nothing there.

"Great, it's a safe zone." Sun Geng smiled deliberately.

"… "

Wen Shi tentatively asked, "How about we take a break?"

Anyway, it was more than twenty hours in total and they had already covered most of the journey, so there was no need to rush.

That hearse is really not for human beings.

"Agree!" Everyone, including Sun Geng, answered almost in unison.

Across the street was the Green Park. As everyone was about to walk over there and find a bench to sit down, the hearse suddenly sounded a 'buzzing' siren.

Voice.

The explosion didn't take the car away, so the possibility of a malfunction was low. It was more like a silent urging for the players to get on board quickly. Seeing that they didn't move, the decibel level increased.

Wen Shi was silent for a moment: "This car has quite a bit of personality."

As I spoke, my legs felt like they were filled with lead and I got back into the car in slow motion.

Zhou Lulu: "Wait a moment."

She hasn't rolled the dice yet.

Ten seconds later, Zhou Lulu threw a [1 Wen Shi and gave a thumbs up: "Well done."

The compliment was completely genuine, indicating that they only had to take one stop.

The hearse sped towards its destination at lightning speed, and the area ahead was still a safe zone.

After one round, the dice came to Wen Shi again. Without any surprise, he closed his eyes and threw out [6].

Every time they arrived at a destination, there would be a corresponding punishment or reward. They had seen punishments and safe zones, but this was the first time they had encountered rewards.

Liu Yun suddenly completely believed what Wen Shi said when he was running for captain in the factory. His skill was [Lucky Star. This is no longer Lucky Star, it should be renamed Sky Full of Stars.

There was no trace of excitement on Wen Shi's face. He got out of the car and untied the bow on the love gift box, revealing six smartphones inside.

Crazy Dice is a collective task, and the rewards or punishments along the way are carried out for all players.

Everyone had a cell phone in their hands, and they looked at each other and turned on their phones at the same time.

[Group Task: Draw a circle and love you so much

Please enter the "I Love You" app within fifteen minutes, start from the university town, and run out a heart-shaped track to express your love for your paired guests.

The greater the love, the greater the final reward~]

The missions with skull levels are not only bloody, but also have no rewards. This time, it is just the opposite. The mission is almost not difficult and seems to be given for free.

The university town was not far from here, and everyone rushed over as quickly as possible while opening the software.

The interface design of the "I Love You" app is very vulgar. When you open the screen, you see a rabbit drawing hearts crazily and the screen is full of pink bubbles. After enduring these three seconds of uncomfortable images, the software will automatically enter the running map.

Zhou Lulu tied her hair up to make it easier to run.

Tian Wanling said faintly: "I really envy you for still having hair."

Looking at her head with the entire scalp shaved off, Zhou Lulu couldn't think of any words of comfort.

Zhou Lulu tied her hair up but did not run away immediately. She glanced sideways at Wen Shi and felt a strong sense of disobedience.

The game definitely cannot be considered to be kind to this player, otherwise it would not have thrown him into the advanced book one after another. From this point of view, the lucky feedback Pei Wenwei received when rolling the dice seemed very strange.

Wen Shi met her gaze and said with a smile, "The mission always talks about the paired guest, but since we entered the mirage, we haven't seen even a shadow of the paired guest."

He turned around to look at the production crew following behind him, his eyes focused on the host: "Dear, you have emphasized twice that everything in the mirage is related to life and death."

Every time the smile on the host's lips appeared for a short while, it would gradually disappear because of someone.

Wen Shi: "I heard an interesting news from the backup group at the ghost market. Ordinary monster villagers are not qualified to go to the ghost gate unless they can find a scapegoat."

Halfway through his speech, the host's eyes turned cold.

At the same time, when the player looked down and saw the software called "I love you to death", his scalp went numb.

This is a real psychological trap, which uses Pei Wenwei's apparent luck to make them subconsciously associate him with the word luck. When Pei Wenwei wins the reward, no one goes back to question it, and some even think it is their due.

Wen Shi sneered after saying this: "Why are you still hiding in the dark? At least come out and see the light."

Around

Silence.

Don't you even give Wen Shi any face

The big eyeball couldn't bear it. Although the scarecrow had limited power after being shrunk, its eyes played a big role. It flew to the corner of the intersection and accurately found a matching guest who was hiding there and preparing to assassinate the player.

Ji Yuanzhi took out a prop telescope and shook his head: "Someone is preparing to drop objects from a high altitude three hundred meters away."

Since the beginning of the dating show, the paired guests have been trying to assassinate the players and find a scapegoat.

This is what being a special guest means to them. Holding hands represents that both parties become one, you are in me and I am in you.

Zhou Lulu sneered: "No wonder every time one of us is eliminated, the paired guest will disappear soon."

It turned out that they all found scapegoats and ran to the ghost gate.

The key to this part is to catch the enemy by surprise. If the players let their guard down, they can successfully assassinate one or two people. Now that they are prepared, the danger is greatly reduced.

"If we all run together, we can take care of each other." Ji Yuanzhi looked at Wen Shi and said, "You lead the way."

Fortunately, I am not in cat form now, otherwise Wen Shi would definitely get angry: "Why?"

It was clearly he who provided the important clues, and compared to these veteran players, he was so weak.

Ji Yuanzhi took him to the glass window without saying a word.

In the blurry virtual image, Wen Shi was wearing an explosion-proof suit and a helmet on his head. He also got himself two breastplates, maintaining the image of being fully armed to the extreme from the previous round of the game.

Wen Shi was silent for two seconds. He deserved to be the leader.

The six-member team set off running.

The one in the front is invulnerable to swords and guns, the one in the middle can see in all directions, Liu Yun in the back is holding a whip to prevent sneak attacks, and there is a scarecrow in the sky to give information. The whole team is formed into an egg that not even a fly can bite.

The pairing guest hiding in the dark was almost furious. Are they so shameless

Following them all the way, they couldn't find any chance to attack. The paired guests felt that they had to do something. One of them jumped out and started cursing: "Aren't you guys a bit too much #¥%#..."

Just as he swore two dirty words, Wen Shi glared at him with an icy cold look.

After these two days of getting along, the paired guests were still a little afraid of him, shrinking their necks and saying, "How much, give me a foundation..."

"Crazy Love Season" has been aired for so many episodes, why is it so easy for others to find scapegoats, but it is harder than climbing to the sky for them to get their turn

With so many players around, Wen Shi didn't have to concentrate on dealing with sneak attacks. He focused on other things. When he turned his head to glance at the program team, he happened to meet Ji Yuanzhi's eyes. His gaze stayed for two seconds, and Wen Shi quietly pointed upwards with his hand and raised his eyebrows.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the distance they had walked through became clear and bright. The fires in the distant city had gone out, and the broken high-rise buildings were rising again.

Ji Yuanzhi nodded slightly.

After successfully completing a love route, the system will send a task completion notification sound:

"The collective task of drawing a circle and loving you to death has been completed."

"All players can advance to the 521st heart line!"

The rewards the game hands out are very practical, equivalent to a safe throw.

With the remaining distance, as long as they throw another six, they can get out of Tianhai City!

When Ji Yuanzhi picked up the dice, Zhou Lulu noticed that he did not use the luck-boosting props this time, and couldn't help but wonder. Although the props were not very useful, they were better than nothing, and there was no reason to be stingy at such a critical juncture.

While she was wondering, Ji Yuanzhi had already thrown the dice, [3].

I don't know if the hearse had a change of heart, but its speed finally returned to normal. God knows every time it speeds, what is more uncomfortable than motion sickness is the cold wind that causes people's temperature to drop sharply. The players' hands are still cold now.

Now that they are driving in a humane way, they are even in the mood to appreciate the scenery outside through the windows without glass.

Someone sighed: "Finally we passed the old town."

They were only a short distance away from returning to the place where they first pushed the door open.

The car suddenly shook violently.

Coming again

Just when the player thought the hearse was going to speed up, he discovered that this was not the case. The high-rise buildings on both sides and the neon lights on the street all shook.

The earthquake lasted only three seconds. After it ended, rows of fish-scale-like windows in the high-rise buildings opened wide. Light beams from nowhere shone on them, forming a strong reflection. Starting from the high-rise buildings, the puddles on the ground, the old bulbs of the street lamps, the shop windows... all the shiny surfaces were reflecting some kind of mysterious light beam. Thousands of lights gathered together and were cast into the distant sky.

A long rainbow pierced the sun, and the light from the sky stretched out for thousands of miles, finally condensing into a water curtain, which was displayed at the end of the city like a projection.

Tianhai City is also inside the water curtain.

The streets were the same, even the hearse moving along was the same.

The players were like looking at a mirage, except that the picture was much clearer than that of a mirage. The picture kept zooming in, and finally focused on the hearse. Aside from the production crew, the number of people on the hearse in the water curtain was exactly the same as the number of players at the moment.

"Mom?!" Zhou Lulu's relaxed expression was the first to freeze.

The hearse opposite seemed to be equipped with surveillance cameras, and everyone's every move could be seen very clearly.

Liu Yun's expression changed: "My sister is here too."

Not only them, every player has someone close to them on it.

Wen Shi also saw A Sang sitting alone in the last row holding a bowl.

The hearse on this side was moving, and the hearse in the mirage was also moving, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

The hearse stopped at the 6521 mark.

The player stood still on the car, and the host gave a warm reminder, saying excitedly: "It's time to get off the car and throw the dice."

The show's ratings have finally shot up again, and now the number of viewers is no less than when they were watching Wen Shi's matchmaking show!

The players still didn't take a step, but the host was very good this time and his smile got wider.

The hearse shook violently, driving the passengers away.

The dark clouds in the sky completely dissipated, and the sky was clear and blue, just like a curtain of water in front.

The production team handed over the dice, but Liu Yun clenched her fist and didn't take it. After a moment of distraction, she thought of the couplet on the door and murmured: "Those who leave this door will live, and those who enter this door will die..."

After circling around, they returned to the original place. The starting point was also the end point. When their hearse went out, the hearse over there came in.

The gate of death is exchanged for the gate of life. It does not mean to be born towards death, but to exchange death for life.

"It's time to roll the dice." The host's chilly voice floated over and repeated it again.

The drone descended and finally captured the most worthwhile sight besides motion sickness: the desperate expression of the special guest, which deeply pleased the audience in front of the small TV.

While Liu Yun was stunned, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her and took the dice.

Suddenly sober, Liu Yun raised his eyes and saw Wen Shi throwing dice and grabbing his arm: "What are you going to do?"

Wen Shi said calmly: "The number plate has disappeared."

Liu Yun lowered her head and found that the number on her chest had disappeared, which meant that anyone could throw the dice from now on.

She wanted to stop it, and not only her, but the players next to her also wanted to stop Wen Shi, but they were stopped by the staff.

The staff member who seemed easy to bully and was easily thrown out of the death gate before, now has great strength, showing the special power of monsters when they are not controlled by rules.

The host smiled and said, "Please don't be so extreme, guest, and don't forget the name here."

Mirage.

"Look, haven't the destroyed buildings been restored?" the host hinted that everything was fake. "Also, at a normal speed, no matter how fast you drive, you can't get back to the starting point in a few hours."

Illusion and reality

Combined, Mirage can do anything.

"It's not fake!" Liu Yun looked at Wen Shi who was about to roll the dice and almost lost her voice and said, "I was going to come in with my sister, but she inexplicably received a system message that banned her from playing the dungeon for four days."

She had never understood why the game restricted Liu Yuan from playing the game, but now she finally realized the problem.

Sun Geng looked at the trembling old man in the water curtain, his voice trembling, "Yes, it's real." Then he said, "That child, the child you call son, he can't be fake."

The host repeatedly emphasized that everything in the mirage was related to life and death. How could the program team be so kind as to reveal the topic for no reason? This was almost a clear indication of the ghost gate, and it could not escape the proposition of life and death.

"The guests this time all seem to have a bit of a bad temper." The host stepped forward and walked to the players who had not spoken yet. He first interviewed Zhou Lulu, "Can you share with the audience watching the show how you feel right now?"

Zhou Lulu pursed her lips into a straight line, trying hard not to let her true feelings show.

The host craned his neck to look around: "Who is your relative? Oh, it's that middle-aged woman, right?"

He has read the blind date information of all the guests, which actually includes not only the virtual world but also the real world.

Inside the water curtain hearse, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife was cooking at home a second ago. She was obviously confused about the situation. The girl with similar eyebrows and eyes to Liu Yun seemed to be saying something to her. The middle-aged woman suddenly saw her daughter at this time. She was still confused, but immediately stood at the pillar of the back door with a knife.

Zhou Lulu closed her eyes.

There is a STOP button for passengers on the rear door post. Generally, the driver can stop the car by pressing it.

The game must have told their close ones all the rules, at least the life and death doors, and how to park the car, otherwise her mother would not have reacted that way.

Others also thought of this. The passengers on the other side could stop the car at any time, and accordingly, the people on this side would never be able to leave. The middle-aged woman might not believe it at first, but when she saw Zhou Lulu, even if she didn't understand anything, she instinctively made the most favorable choice for Zhou Lulu: not letting anyone touch the emergency stop button.

Not getting an answer did not affect the ratings. The host observed their micro-expressions with satisfaction, and finally his sharp gaze was fixed on Wen Shi who was holding the dice.

He smiled and asked, "What about you? Do you still want to throw?"
