Between life and death [unlimited]

"Brother? You don't have a fever, do you?"

Shen Yingying hurried to her brother's side, with a tense expression on her face, she stretched out her hand to touch her brother's forehead and messed up his hairstyle by the way, muttering in a low voice: "The forehead is not very hot...why is it so hot?" It was burned like this?"

"Go, go..." Shen Yu was very speechless about his sister's behavior. He knocked off Shen Yingying's evil little hand, and then simply arranged his hair, "... good hair, you It's all messed up for me!"

"I'm telling you the truth, Shen Yingying! Don't be a joke!" Shen Yu repeated again: "He really played us all!"

After Shen Yingying heard this, she sat on the small sofa beside her with a face full of indifference, as if her left ear just went in, and the other right ear went out again. She asked her brother: "Father Si doesn't look like that?" That kind of person, he has always helped us before. Besides, why did he lie to us this time?"

"What a silly sister... Could it be that 'I am a liar' is written on the liar's face?"

"Then tell me, how did Father Si deceive us?" Shen Yingying listened attentively, but at the same time, she also seemed to be ready to refute.

Shen Yu was not disturbed by his sister's appearance.He just snorted softly, and then said loudly: "About the interpretation of this mission, he definitely played a trick with us!"

Before Shen Yingying could speak, Shen Yu immediately asked again: "The content of this mission is for us to make our 'only debut', right?"

"Yes." As if surprised by her brother's menacing posture, Shen Yingying really began to cooperate with her brother's question, "So?"

"So... Didn't you notice that Si Yufeng deliberately missed a key point during the interpretation task?"

"The key point?" Shen Yingying thought about it in her mind, but she didn't understand what her brother said, so she asked again: "What do you mean?"

Shen Yu sneered coldly, and said: "Although Si Yufeng directly provided us with a seemingly direct 'shortcut' choice before, according to his understanding of our personalities, we know that we will definitely not choose that shortcut. right?"

"It's true..."

"That's right. Don't you think it's strange?" Shen Yu immediately pointed out the crux of the problem, and only heard him say: "If you look directly at the system's description of the tasks and the patches applied after the system, this There should be only two mission results this time."

He suddenly stretched out two fingers and made a "V" shape in front of his sister's eyes, "One is that we players finally won the chance to debut, and everyone is happy, because everyone can survive this way; but there is another one, which is The indigenous NPCs in the mission world won the game, guess what will happen to us?"

"What? Tell me quickly, don't play charades with me, okay?"

Seeing that Shen Yingying's emotions had been mobilized by himself, Shen Yu smiled contemptuously at the corner of his mouth, and replied: "The NPCs have won, and of course the end result is that the player group will be wiped out."

"But the result of the latter group's destruction... Si Yufeng, has he never mentioned it to all of us?"

Shen Yingying quickly mobilized her memories of the past few days, and found that Father Si really didn't seem to have mentioned this possibility.This also caused her to subconsciously think that everyone in this mission could survive. After all, the system also said that the players who died in this mission were not really dead.

But hearing her brother's well-founded analysis, Shen Yingying's originally firm heart was shaken, so she couldn't help asking Shen Yu: "So...brother, why didn't Father Si tell us all? Could it be that, Do you know the reason now?"

Shen Yu was not in a hurry to answer his sister's question, but continued to analyze slowly: "His words and deeds have always given us the feeling that this mission can be 100% passed. The reason... I guess , he should just think that the players will definitely win."

Shen Yingying: "..." Why did she feel that her brother seemed to be talking nonsense...

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Shen Yu naturally noticed the speechless expression on his sister's face, and he stopped hiding it, and directly announced all his thoughts.

"Think about it, among our five players participating in the mission, Jiang Li, Si Yufeng, Zhang Jian, me, and you, are the first two the strongest? You need to have good looks, and special skills. , even, their conditions can surpass those of NPCs in the indigenous world. Regarding this point, as the PD of 'Pretty Girl Factory', I think you should know better than me."

Her brother's words were indeed correct, and Shen Yingying recalled the results of the online audience's favorite votes in the past few days, and the fact was also true.

"That's true, but bro...you haven't gotten to the point yet." She reminded cautiously.

Shen Yu's face immediately showed a helpless look of "I have no choice but to guide you slowly, who made you so stupid", and then said: "I've already talked about this...you still don't understand? This mission is for Jiang Shui, him, and you, is it the third mission for the three of you? If only one person wins in the end, does the system say that it will reward that person with the opportunity to enter a high-level organization?"

"So, brother...you mean, Father Si actually wanted to seize this opportunity?" Shen Yingying heard Shen Yu's words, she thought about it and suddenly realized it.

And after Shen Yu gave her an affirmative look of "As expected, my sister finally realized it", he also nodded and said: "Bingo! Congratulations, you finally got the answer right. You can teach me..."

"But I don't care about this opportunity... If Father Si wants it, then give it to him, I don't care..." Shen Yingying just wanted to stay by her brother's side all the time, so she didn't want to join that Laoshizi's high-level organization Woolen cloth.

Hearing this answer, Shen Yu gave her a complicated look.But his eyes changed extremely quickly, so Shen Yingying didn't notice her brother's abnormal behavior.

"...Yingying, you need to know that in the living world, if you want to gain powerful power, the easiest and most direct way is through these high-level organizations." Shen Yu suddenly said in a deep voice: "After all, the resources they have are ours. These ordinary players can't imagine."

"Also, do you think Si Yufeng has nothing else to hide from us? Do you still remember the rainforest hunt last time?"

The vast and dense tropical rainforest left a deep impression on Shen Yingying, so after hearing Shen Yu's question, she nodded and replied, "Of course I remember. Could it be... this has something to do with Father Si?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Shen Yu sarcastically said, "Could it be that they came to hunt you down on purpose? You are a nobody, do you need that battle?"

Hearing her brother's words, Shen Yingying suddenly realized: "It seems that Father Si really... hid a lot from us... But brother, how do you know this?"

"Of course I have my own channel."

"Then why don't you join those high-level organizations?" Shen Yingying asked her brother again.She wondered why her brother, as an old player who entered the living space five years ago, didn't join any organization.

Sure enough, Shen Yu paused immediately when she asked her.He also had no way to tell her the real reason, so he had to lie and said: "Uh, well... it was because I didn't get this chance in the third game, so I regret it very much now, as a person who came here and you Share these experiences... Don't always think that the people around you are good people, and you should be more careful in the future."

"If you join those organizations, even if something happens to me in the future, you won't be incapable of protecting yourself..."

"Isn't it? Brother!" Shen Yingying's focus is not on the sensationalism behind, but only cares about Shen Yu's answer in front.

Her eyes widened immediately, and her mouth was incredulous: "Senior Zhang Jian has joined the God's Bless Knights! Are you really my biological brother? Don't you just crash into it when you entered the living space?" Think about it..."

Shen Yu: "..."

If he can focus on the key points like this, it really is his silly sister who is right.Shen Yu quickly changed the subject: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about it... You said that you are off topic, eh, right, where did I just say it?"

Shen Yingying immediately replied cooperatively: "Father Si wants to seize the opportunity to join a high-level organization!"

She immediately wondered again: "But... But, didn't Father Si form a team with Brother Bingshan? Then why did he still think about joining other high-level organizations?"

Regarding this point, Shen Yingying has never failed to figure it out.She couldn't help thinking - could it be that the private relationship between Brother Bingshan and Father Si is actually not very good?If this is the case, brother Bingshan, who was abandoned by Father Si, is too pitiful...

Thinking this way in her heart, Shen Yingying said directly: "Brother Bingshan probably doesn't know yet, right? Then he is too pitiful. Father Si's actions are simply too hurtful..."

"Oh, did I say that Si Yufeng went to fight for a place in order to join a high-level organization?" Shen Yu said with a mockery.

Hearing her brother's rebuttal tone of disdain, Shen Yingying immediately asked strangely: "Eh? Isn't that so?"

"What is the purpose of Father Nasi?"

Shen Yu suddenly sneered coldly, and the color of the bottom of his eyes became more gloomy than before, "He probably wants to get this opportunity to join a high-level organization through himself, and then refuse it after the game is over."

"Ah?" Shen Yingying was completely dumbfounded, "No...brother, did you say something wrong? Father Si obviously got the chance, why did he refuse in the end?"

She didn't understand what her brother meant at all, or in other words, she didn't understand the meaning of what her brother said about Father Si's behavior. "It seems that you don't know yet, right?" Shen Yu turned around this time and faced his sister directly.

The corner of his mouth suddenly curved into a mysterious arc.

Then Shen Yingying only heard him speak slowly, but her voice was very clear: "The reason why Si Yufeng did this is all because..."

"He likes Jiang Shang."

——I imprison you in the name of love.

Only by destroying all the possibilities of your escape with your own hands can you be absolutely sure that you will always stay by my side.

……

On this day, someone got up early and pushed open the glass door leading to the beach. The outside sunlight shone into the three-story villa without any hindrance.

Looking at the sky above, another round of brand new sunrise slowly rises from the sea level not far away, and the time has officially entered a new day in this calm atmosphere—at the same time, it is also the time when players enter Sixth day in the world of missions.

Everyone was still on duty last night, but luckily nothing unusual happened throughout the night.After discovering that no one was injured or injured, the NPCs in the mission world cheered without exception, but only the players could feel the dark waves hidden under the calm and lineless water.

Just like the old saying "a dog that bites doesn't bark", they all know that the current situation is calm and they are probably all laying the groundwork for the next thing.

After chatting with her brother for a long time last night, Shen Yingying learned a lot of information that she hadn't fully digested so far, so when she woke up this morning, she was not in a good state of mind, and she looked sickly.

However, she still cheered up and announced to everyone the order issued by the program team last night—that is, the news that today is the last competition, but the final ranking will not be known until tomorrow.

This sudden order really shocked the players.Everyone seems to have never expected that this deadly variety show would end so soon?This exciting good news came quite suddenly.

But everyone's professionalism is also very high.Since today is the last final match that can directly affect the final outcome, everyone began to prepare more carefully for the afternoon match.

Jiang Lai, who "has no skills", really didn't know what to perform, but recalling the enthusiastic response from the audience when he was chopping vegetables a few days ago, he decided to just perform a part of his usual training process this afternoon.

As for whether he can get the first place in his final successful debut, he was already very entangled and decided to leave the final decision to God—whether he can get that opportunity or not, he thinks he should be able to accept the final decision calmly. result.

However, before the competition, Si Yufeng found out that Jiang Xun hadn't rehearsed in advance, and asked him in a mysterious tone: "Jiang Xun... Are you ready? Why didn't you see your rehearsal just now?"

"Yeah." Jiang Shi replied in a very standard way.But for the last question, Jiang Shang gave a simple reason and replied: "I don't want to rehearse."

It was rare for Si Yufeng to show a nervous and complicated look on his face.He only heard him ask his teammates again: "Could it be...you, don't you want to get the only chance to debut?"

This was also the first time the topic of rewards for this mission was mentioned between the pair of teammates.

Jiang Xun obviously didn't expect Si Yufeng to ask him this question directly.Now that the task has come to an end, he thought that according to Si Yufeng's personality, he might not care about this kind of opportunity.

But he didn't hide it, and admitted frankly to his teammates: "I thought about it."

"Haha... that's right, after all you..." Si Yufeng still kept a smile on his face, but Jiang Xun always felt that his expression looked a little strange, "After all, you have such outstanding abilities, and you want to go to a more advanced level. The organization is also normal."

Seeing that Jiang Xun didn't say anything, and the expression on his face didn't change much, Si Yufeng felt a sour feeling in his heart for some reason.

In fact, he wanted to ask again: What if you really got this opportunity?So will you leave your current team and join those high-level organizations?

However, what position does he have to ask him?

They were originally a temporary team formed under the arrangement of others.Si Yufeng originally thought that after getting along for such a long time, there would be at least a trace of nostalgia or reluctance in Jiang Xun's heart...

But he also remembered how unreasonable his teammates used to be. Now that Jiang Xun can tell him these inner thoughts—even if he wants to leave him, it means that a lot has changed between them, doesn't it?

Up to now, Si Yufeng can only comfort himself in this way in his heart.

Seeing that Si Yufeng didn't speak for a while, Jiang Lai suddenly asked back: "What about you?"

"me?"

The image of the two of them on the beach last night flashed through Si Yufeng's mind, and the sourness in his heart became stronger.But in the end, he just shook his head, imitating Jiang Lai's answer and replied with a smile: "Naturally, it's similar to what you think, after all...a good bird chooses a tree to live in."

The conversation ended here without a problem.

However, Si Yufeng, who was deep in the vortex of his heart, didn't notice the complex look in Jiang Xun's long and narrow phoenix eyes when he heard his answer...

Zhang Jian has been troubled by lack of alcohol to help him sleep these few days, so Shen Yingying, who came to inspect the players at noon this day, saw the two thick dark circles under his eyes, comparable to national treasures.

"Zhang Jian, have you not rested recently?" She asked.

Zhang Jian nodded wearily, and did not mention the real reason, but made up an excuse casually, "The lights are too bright every night, and I can't sleep."

"But the competition is going to be in the afternoon!" Shen Yingying was a little worried about him, "Do you want to apply some concealer to cover it up? Otherwise, it won't look good on the camera..."

Zhang Jian thought about it slowly, nodded and said: "Okay."

But when he was about to leave, Shen Yingying suddenly reached out to stop him.I saw a tangled expression on her face, but she finally asked, "Well... do you think that Si, uh, Si Yufeng... what's wrong with him recently?"

"What's the problem?" Zhang Jian asked in confusion.

Shen Yingying couldn't directly say what her brother said to her yesterday, so she could only insinuate: "It's just... Do you think he really wants to get this 'only debut' opportunity?"

Considering that there is a body camera next to Zhang Jian, Shen Yingying hastened to add: "I just asked casually to find out about your players."

Zhang Jian gave a clear "Oh" and then yawned, thinking that the program group asked Shen Yingying to ask, so he replied formulaically: "I think he has worked hard recently, so he probably wants to get it. Besides, we Didn’t you come here just to debut?”

But obviously Shen Yingying thought Zhang Jian was telling the truth, and felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, so she just sighed and said, "Okay...then I know."

Then she told Zhang Jian where to find the concealer, "The concealer pen should be on the coffee table in the hall on the first floor, I just wanted to see it."

When Zhang Jian walked into the hall, he suddenly smelled a mellow aroma of white wine at the tip of his nose, and the long-suppressed alcohol addiction was immediately seduced. He followed the aroma of alcohol to find the security guard hiding behind the sofa. Uncle Bai.

As soon as he passed by, he saw Uncle Bai's mobile phone holding the commonly used thermos cup - it turned out that it was actually filled with liquor!

Uncle Bai was taken aback when he saw Zhang Jian coming. According to regulations, security guards are not allowed to drink during working hours, but too many things have happened recently, and he hasn’t had a drink for a long time. He just wanted to take advantage of the contestants’ rehearsal He drank a few sips in his free time, but he didn't expect someone to follow him.

"That...you listen to my explanation..." Uncle Bai's face immediately changed color. He knew that these contestants all had body cameras. If the superiors saw him violating the rules, he would definitely be expelled!

Zhang Jian somehow felt that he seemed to have seen such a frightened look somewhere.

But now that he is the most addicted to alcohol, Zhang Jian didn't think much about it, and directly interrupted Uncle Bai's powerless defense, and lied casually, "Uncle Bai, is that my cup you took? I haven't found it after searching for a long time. You picked it up~"

Uncle Bai reacted immediately - this little girl must have been too drunk to tell such a lie!

Fortunately, it was a friendly army, so Uncle Bai immediately "got off the donkey" and said, "Yes, yes, yes...I picked it up a few days ago."

Then he handed the thermos cup in his hand to Zhang Jian, and said with a smile: "Here you... here you are."

The two "drinking friends" looked at each other and smiled, and completed the "crime" transaction under the whole process of the camera recording.

After Zhang Jian took it, he immediately took two sips, but felt that the taste of the wine was a bit different from what he usually drank, so he smacked his lips and whispered, "Is it because I haven't drunk the wine in the real world for a long time? How do you feel, it tastes different from the one I made myself..."

This competition was held in the order of the rankings of the previous competition, so Si Yufeng was the first to perform, and after Shu Hua's death, his teammate——Jiang Shui was also ranked last.

Under the gaze of everyone, Si Yufeng entered the room where everyone filmed the promotional video with a normal expression.

After briefly testing the equipment, he said to Shen Yingying, "Let's start."

I don't know if the sound insulation inside is too good, or Si Yufeng's performance is too low. In short, the rest of the contestants standing outside the door did not hear what Si Yufeng performed in the last show.

The No.2 performer is naturally Bai Xue.

At this time, she should have been waiting in front of the door, but when Si Yufeng was almost finished, she was nowhere to be seen.

Therefore, Huajing, who usually interacts with her, was in a hurry, and whispered to Cinderella: "It's almost her turn, why hasn't she come yet?"

"Don't worry." Cinderella said, "I saw her going upstairs just now, and she should come down in a while."

Hua Jing watched the time go by, but Bai Xue was still missing, so she said, "Why don't we go up and look for her?"

Cinderella glanced at the time, the show was still far away from her, and thought that she could just go upstairs to change a dress, so she agreed: "Okay."

Jiang Lai noticed that they quietly left the team. Now there are only players left on the first floor, and the rest of the NPCs may be above the second floor.

A premonition of the approaching crisis came to my mind immediately, before Jiang Xun had time to think about it, his body subconsciously followed him quietly.

But when he just came to the stairs, he heard a loud "bang"!

——It was the sound of knocking on the door!

Immediately afterwards, there were several female screams that seemed to break through the sky.

"what!!"

"...Help! He, he is crazy!"
