"Shen Si?" Zeng Ren was spinning in circles like a headless fly, "Where is he? Does the trigram mean that Shen Si should be used as bait to ensure my safety? No way! I don't want to!"
"Above." Shen Si patted the cage, he put his hand down, blood dripped down his chin, fell on the iron cage.
Zeng Ren kept looking around as if he hadn't heard it at all. Shen Si even saw him raising his head and looking up, but even so, he didn't seem to see anything, but turned his head to the side with a panicked face. Looking as if he really couldn't see him, the cage had an invisibility effect?
"Shen Si, where are you? Don't you scare me!" Zeng Ren shouted in a breathless voice.
Perhaps it is indeed terrifying for a big living person to suddenly disappear in front of him, especially this is the route he chose. Shen Si watched him constantly shouting, and finally sat on the ground somewhat desperately. His lips were white and trembling constantly as if giving up.
Just three seconds later, once he put his gossip plate on the ground, he exhaled heavily, "I am a fortune teller, I will find you soon!"
It looks like he can not count on him at all, Shen Si held the cage to stand up. The iron cages were cold like a piece of ice, as if he had touched it a few more times his hands would be frozen on it. The cage outside the door he dragged in has disappeared, completely unable to find a way to leave from here.
Holding down the wound on his forehead with his hand, Shen Si tried to find something in his pocket that could send a message down the line, he rummaged through his pockets and finally found only band-aids, alcohol and the severance papers he brought back earlier.
Tearing off the last page with his name on the resignation procedure, Shen Si grabbed the paper into a ball, and then threw it from the cage. The ball of paper hit the former, but because it was too light, he didn't feel it at all. He still squatted on the ground looking at his hexagrams, his face was nervous but completely useless.
"It's so cold."
Shen Si tugged at the clothes on his body, but he couldn't stop the cold wind at all. He could feel that his whole body was cold, even in his lungs. Although there was no thermometer, the temperature was definitely more terrifying than imagined. Stay in there a little longer, and he might freeze to death.
But for a few minutes he could feel the blood on his face solidifying, Shen Si looked at the sky with his eyes open, and there was no emotion in his dark eyes, as if he didn't feel how critical the situation was now.
To be honest, Shen Si is surrounded by death. His parents, relatives and friends, and even the aunt's family who are completely unrelated to life, Shen Si does not see life as high as he imagined. He has the instinct to survive and wants to live, but he won't panic in the face of death.
He had long been prepared to die one day due to an accident.
"You can't die! Must wait until I come to save you!" Zeng Ren, who was still telling fortunes on the ground, shouted, "I'll figure it out right away!"
"Does the trigram tell me to look backwards, behind?"
Zeng Ren turned his head, he lowered his head and saw the paper ball that Shen Si just threw down, and hurriedly picked up the paper ball and unfolded it, because his hands were busy and almost tore the paper ball, laying the paper ball flat, Zeng Ren looked at the words on it, it should be a contract, the contract was written with Shen Si's name, and next to Shen Si's name was a blood word: up.
"Up? Up there?" Zeng Ren blankly backed up to look up, but all he could see was a dense cage, which was empty of anything.
Zeng Ren, who didn't understand what this meant at all, folded up the paper and put it in his pocket, with determination on his face, looking like he wasn't going to leave until he found Shen Si.
On the other hand, the special unit who received the news that the game field was open was having an emergency meeting. They sent their officers to surround the game field, but now they don't even know what the game field is, they are simply confused.
Ning Yangze walked around the conference room, "What about it? Any news from the inspection team?"
"Not yet. They said that this place is a non-hazardous area. They didn't do the testing here at the beginning, so this time we have to analyze from the beginning. It is not that simple to fully determine the attributes of the game field." Xia Leyu flipped through the information, "but I have a little gain here."
Ning Yangze's spirit lifted, "What is it?"
"This time the playground was opened in a suburban area. Although it was close to the subway, not many people were stranded. This time the number of people trapped should not be large. I searched for keywords based on this place and found that three days ago, the organization dark night published After the trailer, it is said that there will be a game field open here."
"What? Dark night? The organization that contacted the survivalists to help ordinary people enter the game field safely?" Ning Yangze frowned slightly, "that organization actually predicted the opening of the game field this time?"
"Yes, but the above does not say when it will be turned on. It just said that it will be turned on recently. I suspect that there are survivors who specialize in dealing with these." Said Xia Leyu and handed the information in his hand to Ning Yangze, "Since there is a game field. If it is turned on, it means that there are survivors returning in the game. I will sort out all the survivors in this area."
Ning Yangze looked at the information in his hand, "Isn't it none?"
"Yes, it's not." Xia Leyu nodded, "I thought at first that someone had concealed it, but in the end I found that the possibility of concealing was unlikely, because there were only three survivors who came back from that area."
If there are many survivors, it's normal to miss out. If there are only three survivors' areas, the possibility of under-reporting is not very high. In order to ensure safety, the specific group is divided into multiple groups, and the number of people in a specific area is counted. A group of more than ten people who can't tell if the three survivors are lying or not, it would be a ghost.
Ning Yangze instantly reacted, "It's the survivors who weren't counted on it?"
"That's right." Xia Lehua handed another sheet of information to Ning Yangze, "We had previously, for statistical purposes, specifically asked the survivors who had returned from the game field to write about the other survivors that they had an impression of, and I went looking for the information in here and finally found this person."
"Zeng Ren?"
"Yes, that's him." Xialu nodded, "He's a b-class survivor, so there are a few survivors who have an impression of him."
Ning Yangze frowned slightly, "So it was him."
"Hmm? Team leader, you know this person?" Xia Lehua murmured somewhat sadly, "I went to investigate the missing reported, but there is no one named Zeng Ren has disappeared, and no one reported, so I had to look for it from the household register, and the result is that there are no less than 20 people named Zeng Ren in this area."
"Is that so?" Ning Yangze put away the information, "Is there anyone to suspect?"
"This is true, but it's just a suspicion." Xia Leyu called out a person's information. "I started searching for information after confirming his name is Zeng Ren, and finally found that one person fits the situation. His name is Zeng Ren. Orphan, after he came out of the orphanage, he worshipped a fortune teller as his teacher, but soon the fortune teller was arrested because of feudal superstition, and later disappeared, only he was left alone to come out occasionally to tell fortunes To make ends meet."
"...... is the kind of person who has no attachments nor ties to other ordinary people?"
Xia Leyu nodded, "That's why there wasn't even a single person to report the disappearance after."
"That's him." Ning Yangze slapped the table, "Did the person in the same game field as him account for the game field type?"
"That's the problem, they don't even know what game field that is." Xia Lehua helplessly sat on the table, "I found all the survivor records that had contact with Zeng Ren, and finally found that these several survivors all came back to the same game field but none of them knew what game field it really was."
"I wonder what kind of game field that is?"
Xia Leyu nodded, "In their confession, the playground is very strange. There is black mist everywhere. It is full of things beyond human imagination, all kinds of weird bronze statues, dead bones, and cages. They are confused from the start going in to coming out."
"Even the survivors are not sure of the playground?" Ning Yangze frowned slightly, "Then we can only hope that the inspection team will get it done quickly, and Zeng Ren ......"
"Team leader, you know Zeng Ren?"
"I don't know him, I just heard of it." Ning Yangze had a strange face, "...if I remember correctly."
......
"I got it! Shen Si must be in the cage!" Zeng Ren looked up at the sky as if he had suddenly reacted, "The trigram tells me that the cage is the safest place, Shen Si is missing, and the paper that says it is above, yes, Shen Si must be locked in the cage."
Zeng Ren threw down the fortune teller, he rushed to the next small store next to carry away ladders, and put the ladders under the cage. Zeng Ren grunted and climbed up.
The small store is a mini store opened in the park, and occasionally does a little park maintenance. Although the door has not been opened due to the willingness of the survivors to return during this period, there are always ladders and they are strong enough to have Zeng Ren climb to the very top.
"Shen Si!" Zeng Ren was panting and standing on the ladder, "I'm coming to get you! Ugh? No?"
"Here." Shen Si said blankly.
Zeng Ren blinked, he looked to the cage next to him, Shen Si sat in it, blood coagulated in his face, looked a little wretched.
"Don't worry! I'm coming to save you now!" Zeng Ren hurriedly climbed down, while climbing and murmuring, "So amazing, obviously you can't see anything in the cage from below, but if you climb to the same height as the cage you can see the people in the cage, what kind of playground is this?"
Shen Si leaned against the edge of the cage, "I only know that if you don't come again, I will freeze to death."
"I won't let you die!" Zeng Ren murmured vowedly, "What if you die, will I become a person again? I don't want to continue that kind of life in my life, you are my only friend."
Shen Si lowered his head and looked at him through the gap in the cage. He once put the ladder/ladder under the cage, and then ran to the small shop just now to find the tools that he could use. Shen Si could see that he had been choosing the tools for a long time. Finally, he chose a pair of pliers, as if he wanted to try if he could cut the iron cage like this.
Climbing up the ladder, he once stepped carefully on the highest level. He grabbed the cage and cut it with pliers with the other hand. Because his feet were unstable, he could not use his strength, but Shen Si could see the effect of the pliers. Below, the rails of the iron cage left traces, that is to say, this thing is ordinary iron, which can be physically cut off.
"So hard." Zeng Ren frowned and exerted himself, and Shen Si was able to see that his fingers were slightly white from the exertion.
Just then, the ladder / ladder under his feet moved a little, and the next instant Zeng Ren was slanted backwards because of the focus.
He stretched out his hand to grab Zeng Ren from the gap in the cage, and Shen Si exhaled. His fingers were sore that he felt a little numb. He could only clenched his hands hard to prevent Zeng Ren from falling from here. Falling down from the ladder, Zeng Ren was estimated to be injured.
"That was close, thanks!" Zeng Ren looked at his feet in horror before grabbing the cage bars to stabilize his body, "Shen Si, your hands are so cold."
Shen Si released his hand after he was sure that Zeng Ren was okay. His hands were red and trembling irregularly.
The temperature in the cage has dropped to a certain level, and if he stays any longer he will definitely freeze to death because the temperature is too low.
"Hmm."
"Just answer one word?" Once Ren scratched his hair blankly, he watched Shen Si close his eyes, and then continued to cut the cage hard, "It's very cold inside, right? Don't fall asleep at this time! How about you and I talk? Just tell me what you are here for? I have been setting up a stall here for more than a month. This is the first time I have seen you."
Shen Si closed his eyes and replied in a whisper, "Didn't you see that separation procedure?"
"Tour company? I remembered that you are a tour guide. Don't say that you have worked so hard just now. A tour guide like you must have good physical strength!" Zeng Ren miscellaneously muttered, "In fact, my physical strength is also quite good, but it is all to avoid the city police from hiding out."
Slightly opening his eyes, Shen Si looked at Zeng Ren's strong hands. Those hands were very clean and there were no scars, because the fingertips of playing the fortune-telling chart were worn out a little more than elsewhere.
With a click, the cage was cut off, and Zeng Ren had a surprise in his eyes, "It can be cut!"
It looks like this cage is just an ordinary cage, and ordinary physical means can solve it. Is it really that simple?
The white figure he saw before never seemed to appear again, and I wonder what the thing that pulled him into this cage was. Is it a little too early to let down your guard, what is going on in this playground? Is it the same as collecting to put everyone in a cage?
If what Zeng Ren said is true and that other things can only be seen on the same level, then is the white thing higher than him? He was sitting in a cage completely invisible.
Thinking this way, Shen Si barely grabbed the edge of the cage to let himself stand up, and the white air exhaled from his mouth slowly drifted toward the outside of the cage.
"Oh? Why did you stand up?" Zeng Ren was a little strange, but the movements on his hands kept on.
Shen Si looked around, large and small cages were full of the sky, and there was nothing but pitch black wherever he could. At this moment, a white dot appeared unusually abrupt in the darkness, one meter higher than Shen Si's position. On the cage, a white shadow squatted on it. Its eyes were two dark holes, and it looked at Shen Si hollowly like that.
Sure enough, there it is.
Shen Si and it were staring at each other, three seconds passed, but it seemed like a century so long, in Zeng Ren's bewildered vision, the white figure stood up, representing the black hollow of the mouth curved up, as if it was a nasty smile. The next instant, it flew directly from above, like a hawk catching its prey.
"Get down now!"
"What?"
Completely not understanding the situation, Zeng Ren blankly looked at Shen Si. The next moment he was overthrown by a strong force, and the ladder fell directly. He hurriedly grabbed the cage, and the pliers in his hand fell into Shen Si's cage. Shen Si stretched out his hand to hold the former, the cage trembling constantly, Shen Si could clearly see the white figure climbing around the cage.
"What? What's going on?" Zeng Ren looked nervously to his left and right, "What's happening? Why is the cage trembling?"
Shen Si was taken aback for a moment, "You can't see?"
"See what?" Zeng held the cage, and then he glanced down carefully. "At this height, if I fall, will I break my leg?"
The white figure climbing on the cage was distorted. It crawled along the cage to the front and made a harsh sound, like a demonstrating beast. The outer layer of the cage it grabbed made a chuckle, and the iron cage was full of railings. It is corroded rust. According to this degree of corrosion, the railing will rot immediately.
"Watch out!"
The railing he had grasped fell off, and under the influence of gravity, he fell down fiercely, making a heavy landing sound, as if he had fallen stupidly.
The broken hole in the cage was blocked by the white figure, but it jumped straight down as if unsatisfied, Shen Si took the opportunity to walk out of this broken hole, the temperature outside made him shiver, this time not because of the cold, but because of the sudden return to a place that counts as warm.
"What the hell is this thing? Why does it keep chasing me?" Zeng Ren kept dodging the white figure's attacks, "No, the trigrams say this is the safest place, how can this be!"
Shen Si chased after him, but the white figure was like a recognition of Zeng Ren, completely ignoring Shen Si.
On the other side of the park, Jian Nian, who finally rushed over, looked at the white figure. He frowned slightly, then turned and grabbed the collar of the man behind him a moment later.
"Did the dark night tell you what game field this is?"
The man shook his head calmly, "I think you should ask about this. After all, you are the one who guarantees me to leave safely."
"Is that so? Then why is he here?" Janine let go of the man's collar, "It looks like you don't trust me, so you found another survivor, but you really have a poor eye to hire him."
The man looked at Jian Nian, "What do you mean?"
"Zeng Ren, this is a notorious guy." Jian Nian chased after him, "We can't let Shen Si hang out with this guy."
......
"Doom master? What is that?" Xia Leyu repeated the term strangely.
"It is the code name given to the former by other survivors, and some people call him a deceiver, if he is really the b-level survivor." Ning Yangze frowned, "This guy is the best among the b-level survivors, and is currently the survivor with the highest survival rate in the b-level. The reason is his ability. He will swap his own bad luck with the luck of others, so that he can be lucky. After the game, the person who was tuned for luck by him died in the game field inexplicably."
Xia Leyu jumped up in shock, "There are still such abilities? Then wouldn't he ......"
"Yes, this person is a villain who completely does not care about other people's lives." Ning Yangze closed his eyes. "Every game field opens he looks for his teammates and gains their trust in various ways because he starts out really thinking very much of others, so many people drop their guard against him, but it's not friends he wants, it's simply the luck of keeping himself alive. People who become teammates with him will invariably die in the game field."
