Chapter 121

Chapter 121

The stairs in the orphanage turned into piano keys.

The sound of the piano was intermittent, far and near in the empty corridor, and occasionally two or three overlapping tones sounded, without any discernible pattern.

It was as if someone was holding a young child's hand and pressing the keys erratically on an old piano that had been in disrepair and had changed its tune.

…

Yu Tang straightened up from Zhan Chen's arms and opened his eyes.

The teleportation user huddled in the corner. He cooperated with his partner to attack Yu Tang secretly, but was caught by Zhan Chen. Now his entire arm was in pain and could not move.

He was the No. 19 picked by the NPC when the game world first learned from players and promulgated the "assimilation" rules.

He had woken up from his previous coma and witnessed his partner being swallowed by the keys. His spirit was on the verge of collapse and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Yu Tang walked over.

"Spare me...please!"

No. 19 shrank back desperately: "I don't know anything... He created the illusion! I am only responsible for hiding and sneak attacks when people are trapped in the illusion..."

Yu Tang asked: "How many haunted illusions have you generated here?"

No. 19's voice paused, and he opened his mouth, with a hint of guilt on his face.

"Tell the truth when answering questions." Yu Tang said, "Tell me everything until you finish."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air near Yu Tang suddenly fluctuated invisibly for a moment.

No. 19's face changed slightly.

Once superpowers rise to level A or above, they can sense each other's "field". Even if they cannot break the rules of the field, they can at least feel the fluctuations when the field is unfolded.

No. 19 didn't know what the rules of Yu Tang's domain were, but he hid in the dark and saw Yu Tang confronting students. At least he knew that Yu Tang had the ability to crack other people's domains.

No. 19 moved, moving backward inch by inch with difficulty: "I, I don't know... He has generated a lot, this space is very weird!"

The background of the game is still running, and through the message area, they also understand the rules of the spaces outside.

Each space can only accommodate one player. If there are two people in a closed space at the same time, one of them will be swallowed up and become a wandering line.

The rules in the orphanage are different from those outside.

In this entire space, ten people can be allowed to exist at the same time.

They were lucky enough to be two of the ten people. After discussing in the dark, they decided to occupy the orphanage.

They happened to be in the library corner of the orphanage. The students read the horror stories there and decided to use their powers to create a large number of illusions, creating the illusion of being "haunted" and driving other players to this corridor.

No. 19 is responsible for hiding in the dark, waiting for the enemy, and taking out these players one by one who are frightened out of their wits by the illusion.

"But there is something weird in this space...I don't know why, but there must be something weird..."

No. 19 swallowed it dry. He seemed to remember something extremely terrifying, and his face turned pale: "We counted..."

Regardless of guessing based on the comments section or searching with mental power, there were only ten people in the orphanage including the two of them.

Even if there are hidden superpowers, and they are careful never to reveal their position, this number will never exceed too much.

According to the original plan, if they wanted to occupy this orphanage, they only needed to kill the remaining eight players.

No. 19 looked a little dazed, and his voice lowered: "In this corridor... we killed 23 people."

Yu Tang met Zhan Chen's gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly.

No. 19's expression suddenly changed.

He realized that he had made a mistake, and he couldn't help but start to wonder if Yu Tang's field had any hypnotic effect, and he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart.

"We, we have nothing to do!" No. 19 hurriedly explained, "Only if the number of survivors is less than ten, can everyone escape. Do we have to be trapped here forever? If this continues, everyone will die..."

Yu Tang interrupted him: "What is that student's specific ability?"

"His power is illusion, and the domain rules are 'story'!"

On the 19th, as if there was an amnesty, I poured out my words: "He is a top student in the literature department! His field is limited and cannot be created out of thin air. He must first have a book, or write it on paper and turn it into a book...…”

That student's real number is No. 45.

As of this game, he has successfully survived seven rounds of the game, and his ability "Illusion" has gradually been upgraded to A level in the game.

Before each game, he would look for a strong enough physics partner in advance, and when entering the game, he would pretend to be a novice who fell into a box, letting everyone down their guard.

Many players are forced to attack other people in the game. Even if they have to kill each other, they will try to count the number of people and stop immediately when there are only ten people left in the world.

Few people realize that a "newcomer" who died at the beginning is still alive, and there are actually 11 players in the game world at this time.

In each round of the game, while these people are negotiating a truce and waiting for the game to end, No. 45 will generate an illusion and naturally replace one of them.

"He only found me during this game. I don't even know what happened before!"

No. 19 was still talking. He was frightened, his face was blue with pain, and his voice was trembling uncontrollably, but he never stopped.

"I'm just a thug who listens to his orders... With physical powers like teleportation, even if you reach A-level and have a field, you can only move in different spaces, and there is a limit on the number of times... I don't cooperate with others.Don’t live to the end!”

"His 'illusion' must be based on a paper, formed storybook. As long as it is a book, it can be written by himself."

"As long as the book is not destroyed, the illusion will not disappear."

No. 19 swallowed, his voice already a little hoarse: "If you use books written by himself, there is a limit on the number of times. He can only write three books by himself at a time, and they have already used up, so we used OrphanThose horror novels in the library corner of the college..."

Yu Tang asked: "Where are these books after the illusion is generated?"

No. 19 glanced at Yu Tang fearfully.

"I don't know." No. 19 whispered, "Every time he is born alone in an illusion..."

…

No. 19’s eyes widened in astonishment.

He didn't want to tell the truth anymore, what he was thinking and what he was saying were obviously the same.

...But he seemed to be suddenly stripped of his body by an invisible force.

The next moment he had the idea of lying, he turned into a shadow that overlapped with his own body.

The "No. 19" who was huddled in the corner with a solid body continued to answer: "These books are in the A-level card of 'instant memory'. They were bought for him by the boss of the company who bet on him.."

"In the field of instant memory, the rule is 'book collection', which just matches his superpower."

"No. 19" lowered his head: "Now that he is dead and the card is destroyed, those books should be ejected and scattered in different places in the orphanage."

"I am now going to use my teleportation ability to escape and find these books before you do. I will burn all these books."

The phantom of No. 19 has eyes that are about to burst.

He didn't know how his secret plan could be revealed by his body, so he kept roaring, trying to stop his body.

"No. 19" still continued: "If the book is destroyed, the illusion will be destroyed, and you will be burned to ashes together with the illusion. This orphanage belongs to me alone..."

No. 19's eyes were so wide that they almost bled, and there was incredible despair in his eyes.

...He said "forbidden words".

They have been lurking in the orphanage for a long time. While hunting other players, they also figured out the only rule.

This orphanage is very tolerant and will not devour the player, but will only trap the player in the orphanage without being able to get out.

The only forbidden word is "This orphanage belongs to me alone."

Anyone who has said these words will be retaliated by the suddenly angry world and become a line worthy of shrinking in the shadows.

"I regret it!" No. 19 hissed, "I changed my mind, I don't think so anymore! I want to help you! I can lead you..."

When he said this, his shadow merged with his body and became one again.

At this time, No. 19 was desperately trying to escape from this troublesome body. He struggled desperately, but for some reason, that strange feeling of separation could no longer be found.

No. 19 has noticed that the color of his body is being stripped away. He has been completely defeated by despair. He has no choice but to ask Yu Tang: "Do you have any idea? Please help me. We have found out about this orphanage., I can lead you! Please help me..."

As soon as his voice came out, it was quickly squeezed and swallowed by the surrounding air.

As long as the "forbidden words" are not said out loud and kept in the mind, nothing will happen.But I don’t know why, in Yu Tang’s field, he actually said these words like this.

The furious will of the world stripped away his color in an instant.

The line number 19 stared at Yu Tang: "What are the rules of your field? What the hell did you do..."

Yu Tang: “The rules of my field are ‘rules’.”

No. 19’s eyes widened in astonishment.

He remembered what Yu Tang had said at the beginning of the conversation.

“Answer the questions and tell the truth.”

"Tell me everything until you finish."

…

The only remaining lines of No. 19 have fallen to the ground.

He couldn't figure it out anyway. The sound came from another dimension, like the weird noise made by sandpaper rubbing against rust: "How could this be...how could there be such a superpower?"

Yu Tang didn't answer. He stretched his knees and stood up: "Senior Zhan."

Zhan Chen came over.

While they were talking, the strange sound of the piano kept playing. Zhan Chen did not go downstairs hastily and had already explored the entire corridor area.

This is an abandoned manor, and they are in the villa of the manor.

Due to lack of maintenance over the years, the walls and floors of the villa are mottled and aged, and many facilities have lost their original functions.

"We are on the third floor, which is the activity area for children."

Zhan Chen: "Most of these rooms are closed and abandoned. There are music classrooms, libraries and painting studios that are open to the public. However, there are no musical instruments in the music classroom and no paint in the painting studio."

Yu Tang nodded: "Where's the library corner?"

"There are two rows of low bookshelves in the library corner." Zhan Chen said, "I checked and found signs of books being left on each floor. The total number is about fifty."

Yu Tang released the system from the sack in the sea of consciousness: "Senior Zhan, how many books are left now?"

"There's nothing left." Zhan Chen said, "There are still bookshelves."

Yu Tang: "..."

Zhan Chen asked warmly and curiously: "What's wrong?"

Yu Tang took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.

...They are facing a nascent world that is still observing and learning from players.

We visited the book corner on the 19th and 45th. They probably only took the horror stories from the bookshelf and used these storybooks to create a haunted illusion.

But now the gaming world has learned this method too.

The orphanage that absorbs the original books in the book corner and is re-modified by the game world may not still be a fantasy.

Yu Tang took the page handed over by Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen found a list of old books in the library corner. When Yu Tang interrogated No. 19, he had sorted out the general contents of these books based on the number of pages, categories and traces left on the bookshelves.

These books were donated by various parties. They are very mixed and include all kinds of books.Most of the children in the orphanage have never been to school. In fact, most of them are difficult to understand.

In order to prevent children from turning over the books carelessly and damaging them, many books were bought unopened and wrapped in sealed plastic wrappers.

"At least get everyone together first."

Yu Tang said: "If I guess correctly, there should be ten people in this villa."

The reason why No. 19 felt strange was that he and No. 45 had been ambushing players in this corridor and did not notice the pattern.

The game world wants to leave ten people in the orphanage to play with Feng Qing, neither more nor less.

Every time a player is killed, the game world will pull out another person from other spaces and put them into the orphanage to ensure the number of people in the orphanage.

Yu Tang still retains Feng Qing's invitation to "come visit when he has time", so he can bring Zhan Chen into the orphanage as a guest. Not counting the two of them, there should be ten players scattered in the orphanage.

"The dean's office is on the top floor. I'll go up and have a look."

Yu Tang said: "Senior Zhan, we are still following the original plan. You and the system will find other people and meet at the stairs on the first floor."

"Host, host." The system was still a little nervous, reminding him in the sea of consciousness, "The stairs have become piano keys..."

The system failed to see the scene of the student being swallowed up by the stairs, but it was still instinctively wary of these keys and asked Yu Tang in a low voice: "If we play wrong, will there be any punishment?"

"There will be." Yu Tang said, "But we are 'guests'"

Yu Tang: "Guests don't need to play the piano."

The system still couldn't understand what Yu Tang meant. It looked at Zhan Chen who was already walking towards the stairs. It was so nervous that it kept flashing the red light: "Host! It's too dangerous. How about I try it first -"

Yu Tang asked him in the sea of consciousness: "Do you know why I can make rules?"

The system was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

"Because I tell the game world." Yu Tang said, "Players have the ability to change the rules of the game."

The system thought about it carefully and was suddenly stunned.

...Yu Tang did say this.

When confronting the student who controlled the illusion, in order to find a reason for himself, the student asked Yu Tang in desperation whether the player still had the ability to change the rules of the entire game.

Yu Tang’s answer is “yes”.

…

Immediately afterwards, Yu Tang's domain acquired the characteristics of "rules".

"The world keeps peeking at us."

"It wants to learn to be stronger and want to rescue Feng Qing, but the samples it observes are only conspiracy, calculation and cannibalism."

In the sea of consciousness, Yu Tang said: "But it is actually easy to deceive - just make it believe that one thing is natural."

Until now, the game world has not been able to control its own abilities.

If the player triggers the silence and says something it rejects, he will be punished furiously.

But if it believes what the player says and thinks it is right, it will do it.

Yu Tang said "players have the ability to change the rules of the game" in a matter-of-fact tone, and the game world would think this was true and give him the ability to make rules.

Yu Tang just tried it on No. 19, fixing the scope of the field on a certain target person, and formulating the rule of "no lying, you must tell everything". Every five minutes, it will consume about 30% of the energy.force.

After all, mental power cannot be squandered like this, so Yu Tang plans to take another risk and try another method.

"Guests don't have to play the piano."

Yu Tang said: “It’s the first time for guests to come here and they can even eat bubble gum.”

system:"……"

Zhan Chen: "..."

Zhan Chen stood on the first step safely. He cleared his throat, suppressed his helpless smile, and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Where Yu Tang was standing, the space began to tremble violently without warning.

The game world has become accustomed to swallowing and claiming, and this request has undoubtedly angered it. In the empty corridor, the overhead lights began to flicker irregularly.

Zhan Chen suddenly turned around and rushed towards him.

...This world has been taught to be moody, and every wrong step may lead to a violent counterattack.

Zhan Chen is still data, and even if he is seriously injured, he can still recover. Yu Tang knows this, so he did not stop Zhan Chen from trying the stairs that turned into piano keys.

But Yu Tang left the task of testing the bottom line of this world to himself.

From the moment he met the student, every word Yu Tang said was trying to figure out the bottom line of this game world, trying to draw a way back to the starting point.

He was not prepared to implicate others, but he still stubbornly wanted to bring back the crooked game world.

…

The oscillations in space are becoming more and more intense.

Yu Tang raised his hands to protect his head and neck, and a familiar embrace rushed towards him. Yu Tang asked Xiao Lanka to help, trying to push Zhan Chen down the stairs, but the arm protecting him was too strong to resist.

Zhan Chen's fighting skills were on par with Xiaolanka's, but the poor student's strength was not enough, and he was still unable to withstand the opponent's strength. In the midst of Xiaolanka's hatred of steel, he was defeated by Zhan Chen not long after.Suppressed in the corner.

Yu Tang only had time to stuff the system back into the sack, and was protected by Zhan Chen, avoiding the fierce and violent vibrations in the space.

A hand firmly wrapped around his shoulder, sealing him in the corner.

…

After a few seconds, Yu Tang poked his head out from the overwhelming objects falling down from the sky.

Zhan Chen put his arms on his side and looked up. His usually calm and gentle expression also showed a rare look of confusion.

... What hit them overwhelmingly was countless bubble gums with all kinds of flavors.
