At one o'clock in the morning, they walked down the stairs, but Shen Yunzhe was obviously absent-minded and walked very slowly.
Cheng Yiyi didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear of causing problems.
Although Shen Wei was a little weird at first, like a lunatic, he didn't have the problem of talking to himself.
At first I thought Shen Wei was normal, but I didn't expect that this might be a sign of illness! If he could go back alive, he must learn a few things about mental patients!
Shen Yunzhe didn't continue talking to himself. He just looked to the side. That was the fifth floor. The stairwell on the fifth floor was closed. There was a rusty lock on it. Shen Yunzhe thought for a while and turned to look at Cheng Yiyi. .
"We can go back just the way we came. You go back first."
Cheng Yiyi was startled, "What about you, Shen Wei?"
"I'll take a look here." Shen Yunzhe shined a flashlight on the corridor door. "The stairs from the second floor to the third floor are sealed. The third floor is full of stone statues. There should be other things on the fourth and fifth floors. I'm going to go there. Take a look, maybe you can find some clues."
"Then I'll go with you." Cheng Yiyi said quickly: "To be honest, I don't want to go alone among the pile of rocks!"
The pile of stone statues was very weird. The eyes had been staring at them when they came. It was okay when he was with Shen Wei, but he really wanted to cry when he thought of facing those overwhelming eyes. , he would rather stay here and investigate with Shen Wei.
Shen Yunzhe looked him up and down, and then said, "How about you call me Shen Yunzhe."
"ah?"
"Everyone in the bureau is used to this name, so I'm not used to being called Shen Wei all of a sudden." Shen Yunzhe said.
Cheng Yiyi:......
He began to wonder if Shen Wei had been lying from the beginning. In fact, his name was not Shen Wei, but the Shen Yunzhe he mentioned just now.
Isn't it? Did you lie when you first came in and knew this place was called a real town? ! He must be overthinking.
"Okay." Cheng Yiyi nodded, and then he asked cautiously: "Then can I call you by your name in front of other people?"
Shen Yunzhe glanced at him meaningfully, and then said: "No."
Opening the door to the corridor on the fifth floor with a piece of iron wire, Shen Yunzhe walked in first. The inside was very messy, as if no one had been in for a long time, and there were even spider webs. There were not many rooms inside, like It's a whole big space, filled with boxes of junk.
Bypassing these sundry boxes, Shen Yunzhe came to the innermost part of the fifth floor. His flashlight shone on the wall. A black and white portrait hung on the wall. The photo of a middle-aged man on the portrait seemed to be looking down at him. them.
Shen Yunzhe took a look around. Next to the portrait was another portrait. Countless portraits were stacked on the wall, which was even more oppressive than the small house behind.
Cheng Yiyi closed her mouth and dared not speak out. He stood behind Shen Yunzhe and looked nervously at the portraits.
"Ordinary portraits." Shen Yunzhe said, then he walked to the base of the wall and picked up a piece of paper from the ground.
Because of the time, the handwriting is a little blurry, but it has never been difficult for Shen Yunzhe to read.
"Who wrote it?" Cheng Yiyi asked quietly.
"Village chief." Shen Yunzhe replied.
"Suicide Note"
[In this situation, I know that I am not even qualified to write a suicide note, but there is no way. I must leave something to prove what happened here and record what I saw and heard. Best way I can think of. 】
[I am the village chief of this town. It is not called a real town. Its name should be Happy Town. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. Although there are some conflicts, everyone is united. Until one day, a group of thieves come We caught a thief in the village and found a stone statue in his stolen goods bag. 】
[The thief said it was Guanyin Bodhisattva, how is that possible! 】
[Unexpectedly, Widow Zhang from the village took this stone statue away. Before I could recover the stolen goods, something strange happened in the village. 】
[First, Kong Fang's husband died violently, and later Kong Fang was insulted and committed suicide by a bachelor in the village. I accompanied the police comrades to investigate for a long time before I found out that it was Widow Zhang who was behind the scenes. She said that Kong Fang's husband was dead, and that Kong Fang and the village I don't know whether the bachelor inside was there, but the stone statue listened and turned all these things into reality. 】
[The stone statue listens to everything, and whatever it hears will become true. Everyone started to fight for the stone statue. At that time, the stone statue actually opened its mouth and spoke. 】
[It said that it would only be owned by those who tell the truth, it said that those who lied would be punished, it said that it wanted a real temple, and it said that the village should mass-produce real incense. I was not clear-headed at the time and thought this was a small town. With the opportunity of development, a real temple was built, a suggestion box and a confession box were set up. Widow Zhang became the richest man in the village because she owned the statue of the god. 】
[But gradually... the suggestion box was filled with notes of accusations. Widow Zhang was afraid that others would take away the stone statue and kept making false accusations. Others who wanted to get the stone statue also kept making false accusations. 】
[Widow Zhang is dead, many people are dead, adults, children and old people are all dead, only the stone statue is still there. 】
[I finally woke up, but there is no point in waking up. There are real incense and real images everywhere, and there are dead people who were punished and had their tongues cut out. I was also thrown into the suggestion box. I am going to die too, but Even now, I still regret, regret...]
[Why doesn't the stone statue belong to me? If it were me, I would definitely not let things develop to this point. 】
【if it was me......】
"He wasn't awake at all." Cheng Yiyi frowned after hearing the suicide note, "I'm still thinking about what he would do if he had a stone statue until his death. This kind of ghost should be burned on the spot."
Shen Yunzhe did not deny it. He folded the suicide note and put it in his pocket.
"It seems that the original stone statue was the medium." Shen Yunzhe said: "I just don't know where the medium is."
Cheng Yiyi sighed, "Are they so stupid? There is something wrong with this thing at first glance, but in the end they are all fighting for it."
"It has nothing to do with them." Shen Yunzhe turned around and walked back. "After being eroded by strange objects, the people inside will be affected by extreme emotions. In other words, they were not who they were at that time. , but an amplification of emotion, it is normal to do such a thing."
Cheng Yiyi was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
"Have you never seen any strange erosion events in reality?"
"You mean the subway?"
Shen Yunzhe thought for a while, "Speaking of which, it would be very troublesome for a big star like you to die. Do you know the official news?"
"Official..." Cheng Yiyi thought for a moment and frowned, "Although I know there is an official organization, I have never been in contact with it. Why are you an official?"
"No." Shen Yunzhe shook his head, "Not every police officer is an official member."
Cheng Yiyi curled his lips, thinking: Even with Shen Yunzhe's sudden abnormality, the authorities probably wouldn't dare to accept it.
"The official can't control it, and I don't like to be asked questions." Cheng Yiyi still spoke, "There are players in every industry, and the ones who tricked me are my colleagues. They A competitor of mine suddenly came to me when I was practicing my performance and asked me to show me an acting tutorial."
"I thought to myself, what could go wrong after watching a video? So I just watched it." Cheng Yiyi spread her hands, "So that's it."
"He didn't pass the second game, but he smiled happily when he died. He was probably happy that my competitor would have the same fate as him."
Shen Yunzhe nodded, then stopped suddenly, and Cheng Yiyi almost bumped into his back.
Before Cheng Yiyi could ask, he saw Shen Yunzhe lighting up the front with his mobile phone. The next moment, Cheng Yiyi saw the portrait on the wall staring at them.
They just turned around and walked towards the corridor entrance. After walking for a while, they saw these portraits that should be behind them.
Cheng Yiyi turned around and saw the dark corridor door behind them.
"Are you back here again?" Cheng Yiyi asked in a low voice, "Are ghosts hitting the wall?"
Shen Yunzhe tilted his head. After thinking for a while, he turned back and said, "Try walking again."
"...Oh." Cheng Yiyi nodded.
They continued to walk towards the corridor, this time they did not chat, but kept looking in front of them, so they saw a head suddenly sticking out of the dark corridor entrance in front of them, and the pale stone statue still had that His pale face was at the door, smiling at them.
The next moment, the corridor entrance disappeared, and a wall of portraits stared at them in front of them.
"F*ck!" Cheng Yiyi cursed, "It's back again! And what was that just now?!"
Shen Yunzhe looked at the portrait. He turned back and glanced at the entrance of the corridor behind him. There was a stone statue sticking out of the corridor door. The white eyes of the stone statue were staring at them.
Cheng Yiyi suddenly exclaimed. He pointed at the portraits on the wall. Shen Yunzhe raised his head and immediately saw that all the portraits on the wall had their mouths open. The mouths of the black and white portraits were all hollow black with no tongues. He Little by little, red tears flowed from the corners of their black eyes.
They stared at Shen Yunzhe and Cheng Yiyi, looking very strange in the darkness.
Gurgling, and there was a friction sound.
The stone statue held on to the corridor door and walked forward step by step. Because its body was made of stone, gray-white stone debris would fall down every step it took. Its dull face was frozen in that smile, but its stone eyes were wandering. He moved, and with every step he took, he could hear the sound of stones hitting the floor.
The corridor door is blocked and I can't get through, but even if I go over, I will return to the portrait.
"Shen Wei!" Even when he was nervous, Cheng Yiyi called out his familiar name.
"Smells! Really smells good!"
Chen Yunzhe turned around and saw three incense sticks appearing in front of the portrait. The incense sticks had been lit and wisps of smoke were floating out.
There were words written in blood on the wall, and Shen Yunzhe took a step back to read the writing on it.
【You lied! 】
[You can't lie in a real town! 】
【You have to accept the punishment! 】
[Cut off the tongue and dig out the internal organs! 】
Shen Yunzhe grabbed Cheng Yiyi and ran to the side. He pushed open the window and looked down. The fifth floor was already very high, and there was no support. It was difficult for normal people to get down from the window. Shen Yunzhe could do it, but Cheng Yiyi Unable to do it, Cheng Yiyi also thought of this. He glanced at Shen Yunzhe but said nothing.
If Shen Yunzhe abandons him now, he can be saved.
"I'll take you down." Shen Yunzhe said.
Cheng Yiyi was stunned, "Ah? Send me down?"
"You may feel that your body is out of control for a while, so don't resist."
Cheng Yiyi didn't know what this meant, but looking at Shen Yunzhe's serious eyes, Cheng Yiyi nodded and saw that he was ready. Shen Yunzhe put his hand on his shoulder, and the next moment invisible threads wrapped around him. On the joints of his hands and feet, countless silk threads tightly bound him.
After making sure it was tied up, Shen Yunzhe moved his fingers.
Cheng Yiyi was surprised to find that his body was out of control. He suppressed the desire to struggle and watched like a bystander as he jumped from the window sill on the fifth floor. He subconsciously wanted to close his eyes. But he couldn't even control his eyelids, and could only watch as he grabbed a gap.
Just like this, Cheng Yiyi landed on the window sill on the third floor using extremely difficult moves that Cheng Yiyi had never been able to do in her life. Cheng Yiyi finally felt that the control of her body was back.
His fingers were numb, his legs were weak, and he almost fell.
"Shen Wei!" Cheng Yiyi controlled her trembling and called to Shen Yunzhe upstairs, "You, come down quickly!"
"I still have something to do." Shen Yunzhe made a zippered expression towards him, "Quiet, wait until I get back."
In this way, he watched Shen Yunzhe walk back from the window. Cheng Yiyi squatted at the window for a while, and then lowered his head in silence.
Although he doesn't know what Shen Wei is going to do, he must be a burden to Shen Wei, so Shen Wei will send him away even if he exposes his own abilities. He can't repay kindness with enmity. In this case, he will Go on honestly to ensure your own safety and not cause trouble to Shen Wei.
No, it should be called Shen Yunzhe now.
After confirming that Cheng Yiyi had left, Shen Yunzhe looked at the wall behind him with more and more bloody words and the stone statue only two meters away from him.
"System." Shen Yunzhe asked: "What effects can the code-name erosion have when it is maximized?"
【......What do you want to do? 】
"Only those who were helped by Corrosion will have problems in the game field, and others will not. But you said that at its peak, he had tens of thousands of followers. I don't think Corrosion can grow in such a short period of time. Help tens of thousands of people."
[Shen Yunzhe, this is very dangerous! You just got out of sync with your sleep disorder! 】
Shen Yunzhe smiled, his voice was coaxing, but more of a weird and reckless tone.
Hesaid: "Be obedient."
The system still compromised.
[World C07390, the code name erosion is synchronizing, the synchronization rate is 100%, and the synchronization is successful. 】
[I will not let Codename Hope come to the rescue again, so this time you are the only one, and Codename erosion can only be handled and controlled by you alone. 】
【It's all on you. 】
Shen Yunzhe closed his eyes and slowly opened them again. There was a faint smile in his eyes. This smile was very pure and innocent. The steps of the stone statue stopped, and the bloody words that the portrait was writing crazily also stopped abruptly. It's like the whole world is suspended.
The most terrifying thing about Codename Corrosion: when his ability has evolved to its limit, even just a smile will make people follow him wholeheartedly.
He can be loved wholeheartedly and unreservedly by everyone.
"Good evening?" Shen Yunzhe looked at the stone statue in front of him and greeted him sincerely, "Are you the stone statue in the temple? Why are you here?"
The stone statue's eyes were staring at Shen Yunzhe, and the portrait on the wall was also staring at Shen Yunzhe.
They feel uneasy, but they don't know where this uneasiness comes from.
In the last game field, after the synchronized code erosion, the live broadcast audience was also affected by his ability. Because the ability of code name erosion has the same source as the game field, he can affect humans and the entire game field. The moving things include the indigenous people in the game field who died but have not disappeared.
Shen Yunzhe reached out and touched the face of the stone statue, "Is it stained? Do you want me to help wipe it?"
【Shen Yunzhe! 】The system is calling his name.
After shouting several times, Shen Yunzhe seemed to react. He blinked, then stepped back and stood between the stone statue and the portrait. He looked around in confusion.
"I'm sorry." Shen Yunzhe apologized, "Although I don't know whether I should say this, but I think lies are also a kind of kindness. If it is kindness, why should we care about the difference between truth and lies?"
"Right?"
The moment the words fell, the blood words on the wall quickly faded, and the blood and tears on the portrait no longer fell.
But soon more words appeared behind Shen Yunzhe.
The handwriting is densely packed, but it seems to be cheering for Shen Yunzhe. He is standing in front of the wall, with portraits behind him, but he seems to be standing in front of countless people, with his supporters behind him.
[I told my child that I took him out to a restaurant after the exam to encourage him to study. I didn't lie, he hadn't finished the exam yet! 】
[I told her that the hairpin looks good because she likes it. She likes it better than I do. This is not a lie! 】
[I didn't tell him about the car accident so that he could recover with peace of mind! 】
【I didn't lie! 】
【I did not lie! 】
【I shouldn't repent! 】
The stone statue in front of him was crumbling, and it made a piercing scream, but it still could not stop the speed of the collapse.
Shen Yunzhe opened his hands and looked into the sky with misty eyes.
He said: "Yes, no one here needs to repent for lying."
