At six o'clock in the morning, a messy little garden.

Every inch of the land has been turned up, and the flowers and plants are lying lifelessly on the ground with their heads wilted.

"No."

Fei Zhengqi said dejectedly, and thrust the shovel in his hand into the ground.

Starting at zero o'clock, they conducted a blanket search of the entire castle, from the kitchen, dining hall, and studio on the first floor to the attic and rooftop on the third floor. They found nothing except two answer cards marked No. [-].

The little garden was the last place that hadn't been searched.

Fei Zhengqi turned over the soil with a brute force to see if there might be an answer sheet hidden under the ground, but he found nothing.

Jian Hong stood aside, habitually touched her nose with her index finger and began to think.

No, this is not normal.

He was confident that they didn't miss any corner, how could they only find two answer sheets?

The only possibility is that other cards have been pre-empted!

But who?

Geng Yanbin and Bo Yiran spent two hours lobbying other groups to form an alliance with them, the speed could not be faster than them.

Although Kuai Anhe and Ran Xiaoxin were also looking for them, their physical strength and speed were not as good as Fei Zhengqi's, so it was impossible to find the card before them.

The other two groups were disturbed by Geng Yanbin and Bo Yiran, and a lot of time was wasted.

Could it be...Lang Qiu and Ke Chun?

Haven't seen them both since the game started!

But it's not right...

First, what do they want everyone's cards for?

Second, if they have already got all the cards of No. [-], why didn't the broadcast prompt them to answer the question successfully?

Jian Hong looked at the magnificent castle.

It's been six hours and not a single broadcast cue.

That is to say, the game has not yet had a group of successful answers.

what is the problem?

"Xiao Hong, what should I do?" Fei Zhengqi had no choice but to ask Jian Hong for help.

Jian Hong said in a deep voice, "Don't look for it anymore, we need to exchange information."

He showed the two number two answer sheets in his hand: "Someone should want them."

The object of information exchange is naturally the person who may have the most information at present.

Jian Hong led Fei Zhengqi to find Geng Yanbin and Bo Yiran in the cafeteria first. The two seemed to regard the cafeteria as the battle center, and they were discussing the battle plan with the other two players.

Seeing Jian Hong and Fei Zhengqi, Geng Yanbin smiled happily and warmly greeted them.

Jian Hong showed his usual gentlemanly smile, and said straight to the point: "I have two cards here, which are useless to me, do you want them?"

Geng Yanbin immediately leaned forward and whispered, "What's the date?"

Jian Hong raised her index and middle fingers, and Geng Yanbin's smile became deeper: "What do you want?"

"I want number one, do you have any?"

Facing such a frank Jian Hong, Geng Yanbin's eyes widened.

The second generation of officials handed over their cards so quickly, aren't they afraid that they are opponents?

Fortunately, however, Team One was exactly what they were looking for now.

He led Jian Hong to Bo Yiran and the other two, and happily introduced: "There are two more companions, they are the first group."

Then Geng Yanbin turned around and explained the situation to Jian Hong and Fei Zhengqi: "We now have numbers [-], [-], and [-]. You are number one, and Bo Yiran and I are number two. Your two cards are very important to us, and they are Three. We just happen to be helping each other."

"How many cards did you find?" Jian Hong asked.

Geng Yanbin sighed: "We only have one No. [-] card now, and these two cards of yours are really a blessing in disguise for us!" As he spoke, he was about to reach out for the two cards in Jian Hong's hand.

Unexpectedly, Jian Hong took it away: "Equivalent exchange. One No. [-] card for one No. [-] card."

Geng Yanbin's expression froze for a moment, and he immediately returned to his smile: "Yes! That's how it should be!" He clapped his hands together and shouted, "Brothers, let's continue to search on the second floor. Remember to gather and discuss after an hour, and we can't put it in any corner. Pass!"

After they dispersed, Jian Hong followed Geng Yanbin and asked, "How long have you been looking for?"

Geng Yanbin thought for a while: "Three hours? We just turned the first floor from inside to outside. It's just a No. [-] card. I really didn't lie to you."

"Don't you think it's strange? There are six cards in each number, a total of three groups, there should be eighteen cards. It has been more than six hours since zero o'clock, and the six of us have only found three cards, and now It is very unreasonable not to be reminded that someone has successfully answered the question." Jian Hong analyzed it in a straight-forward manner.

Geng Yanbin frowned slowly: "What do you mean? Is that masked guy playing tricks on us again?"

Jian Hong lowered her head and thought about this possibility, but why?

Fei Zhengqi was pure-hearted: "Maybe someone found it first, but didn't answer the question. Isn't there still six people?"

"That's not bad!" Geng Yanbin exclaimed, "If the other side also forms an alliance, and they have more cards than us, aren't we doomed?"

The three hurriedly accelerated their pace and dispersed to the second floor.

Behind them, Bo Yiran followed unhurriedly, with a cold light shining from his wise eyes.

An hour later, the large cafeteria on the first floor.

The six people gathered together and shook their heads.

This hour of searching, the number of cards harvested is zero.

"Fuck!" Geng Yanbin kicked down the chair violently, "I'll ask the remaining six people about the situation."

He was about to go out when the person he was looking for walked towards him.

Kuai Anhe, Ran Xiaoxin and the other two walked into the cafeteria together in disgrace.

"How many cards did you find?" Geng Yanbin asked the leader Kuai Anhe directly.

Kuai Anhe shook his head.

Ran Xiaoxin was always afraid of Geng Yanbin, so he shrank back behind Kuai Anhe, and the other two also lowered their heads, like bereaved dogs.

"What's going on? Where are Ke Chun and Lang Qiu?"

Everyone looked at each other and said they didn't know.

"Now there are two possibilities."

At this time, a cold voice sounded.

Everyone looked sideways, and saw Bo Yiran sitting leisurely at the dining table with his legs crossed, as if he had nothing to do with him.

He glanced at everyone present one by one, and said: "One, there are no eighteen cards at all, we were tricked by the program team..."

"Damn! What about my bonus? They want to swallow it themselves?" Geng Yanbin said angrily.

Fei Zhengqi couldn't listen anymore, and shouted at him: "When are you still thinking about bonuses? If that's the case, they want us all to die!"

His voice resounded like a bell, striking heavily on everyone's heart.

There was no sound in the room for a while, and the air was like a mountain, making everyone breathless.

"Is there another possibility?" It was Jian Hong who broke the silence.

He folded his hands on his chest, put one hand on the back of the chair opposite Bo Yiran, looked at the person and asked.

Bo Yiran didn't change his face, and said Youyou: "If no one present is lying, there is another possibility that the remaining cards are monopolized by Ke Chun and Lang Qiu."

"How is it possible?!" Someone immediately screamed.

Jian Hong lowered his face and said, "Ah Qi and I have searched every room very carefully since zero o'clock, without missing any corner."

"No matter how detailed your search is, there will always be a sequence. Besides, searching without focus is extremely inefficient." Bo Yiran pointed out their problems mercilessly.

Regarding this accusation, Jian Hong had nothing to say.

As Bo Yiran said, they searched the rooms in order, because each room was searched very carefully, and it was bound to take a lot of time. No matter how fast Fei Zhengqi was, it would definitely not be as fast as a purposeful search.

"They, how do they know where the card is?" Ran Xiaoxin asked weakly, hiding behind Kuai Anhe.

Bo Yiran looked at Jian Hong: "Take out your two cards, the answer should be on it."

According to Jian Hong's words, she took out two cards from her pocket and put them on the table, covered the cards with her hands, glanced at everyone, and said seriously: "These two cards are number two cards, but for the sake of fairness, I hope that the number two cards Brother, bear with it for now, don't rush to answer the questions, and don't rush to destroy them. After we figure this out, we will determine the ownership of these two cards in a fair duel."

No one objected.

Geng Yanbin and Bo Yiran also nodded to Jian Hong in agreement.

Only then did Jian Hong let go of her hand, and the No. [-] card was displayed in everyone's eyes.

The card is a rectangular sheet made of metal, with the traditional Chinese character "二" engraved on the top of the front, and the large paragraph of text below it is the text of the title.

[Please fill in the lyrics below, name the song, and sing the song with affection.

The stars in the sky do not speak, __________________.

The eyes of the sky blink and blink, __________________. 】

"Lu Binghua!" Someone yelled out the title of the song, and he was immediately stared at from all directions, and he himself was immediately slapped on the head by his companion.

Fei Zhengqi picked up the card, looked up, down, left, and right, and asked puzzledly: "I don't think there is anything special about this card. It will tell us where the next card is?"

"What's the title of the other card?" Geng Yanbin asked urgently.

Jian Hong read out the title of the second card:

"Please hum three "Lullabies" and name their composers."

Geng Yanbin shouted urgently: "Then the answer is not unique, how could there be a clue?"

While everyone was frowning at these two cards, the two people who had been missing all this time arrived late.

"Yeah, good morning everyone!"

Ke Chun grinned and greeted everyone heartily.

A black leather bag was slung over his shoulder, which was bulging and full of things.

"How is it? Is the game going well?" He asked carelessly, but the faces of the people in the cafeteria became even worse as they were not opened and lifted.

Kuai Anhe went forward to meet him, and pulled Ke Chun aside regardless of Lang Qiu's staring eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Where have you been? We were just talking, but the cards are all gone."

Ke Chun smiled slyly, bypassed Kuai Anhe, walked in front of the crowd, patted the small bag on his waist, and said loudly, "Everything you want is in it."

There was a lot of noise.

Geng Yanbin roared even more aggressively: "What do you mean?"

Ke Chun blinked his big innocent eyes and said, "Only in this way, you will listen to me."

Geng Yanbin rushed forward excitedly, wanting to make a move.

It was too late to say it, but when his hand was about to touch Ke Chun, Ke Chun's body was pulled, stepped back, and fell directly on Lang Qiu's body.

Lang Qiu protected Ke Chun behind him, while Fei Zhengqi stood up in front of Geng Yanbin and said firmly, "Listen to what Ke Chun has to say first."

Bo Yeran, who has always remained neutral, also unexpectedly said: "If he wants to harm us, he won't show up now."

Under the eyes of everyone and under the surveillance of countless cameras, Geng Yanbin had no choice but to hold back his anger and retreat to the back.

Ke Chun pushed Lang Qiu aside, walked to the front, and said to everyone: "I have already told you what I think in advance. The reason why I withheld everyone's answer sheets is not only to let everyone listen to me. I don't want you to I will regret it in the future. I don't want you to be the indirect murderers who killed your companions."

The audience all bowed their heads, only Kuai Anhe gently persuaded Ke Chun: "I understand your feelings, but you killed all the members of the rat team in the end. They can't answer the questions, and they will all be executed in the end. You can also see Here, the cruel execution, you are indirectly killing them."

However, Ke Chun was very firm: "I am also in the mouse group. I will not hand over the answer sheet unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Are you threatening us?" Jian Hong's eyes became sharp, and the pampered childhood made him feel more oppressive at this moment.

"You can understand it this way. There is no winner in this game. The only way for us to survive is to work together to resist. If we follow the rules of the game, we will only fall into the death trap of those bad guys."

Ke Chun's words didn't have much effect. Everyone in front of him was either indifferent, afraid, suspicious, or disgusted.

No one supports him.

Lang Qiu put his hand on Ke Chun's shoulder, walked over him and walked in front of everyone.

In the silence, his deep and hoarse voice sounded.

"On the first day I entered the castle, they gave me a bucket of water, and several of our heads were pushed into the bucket by a giant arm. I held my breath, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes... 5 minutes, 10 minutes Minutes, 10 minutes. I couldn't hold it anymore, and I was bubbling in the water. Some people were whimpering, some were struggling, some were silent..."

"On the third day in the castle, it was an electric shock. We were tied to the electric shock chair, and millions of volts of electric shock penetrated every corner of the body. Pain, numbness, convulsions, life is worse than death. I want to die..."

"On the fifth day after entering the castle, we were tied up and brought to the edge of a cliff. He made us jump off one by one. I stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the abyss, my legs couldn't stop shaking. I was afraid that I would fall to pieces. , but I want to die..."

"We have been in the castle for 1 and [-] days, and today we still let us kill each other. My knife cut bloodstains on my companion's body, but he can no longer scream. I looked down at my body, which was already riddled with holes. But I forgot what pain is. When will I die?"

Lang Qiu's voice stopped abruptly.

Someone asked tremblingly, "What are you talking about?"

"Experiment." Lang Qiu replied coldly, "This is the text on the back of each answer sheet, and it should record the experiments that have been done in this castle."

"What's the matter with this man..." Ran Xiaoxin asked, "Why didn't he die?"

Lang Qiu lowered his eyebrows and murmured: "Yes, why didn't he die?"

Jian Hong's reaction was quick, and she turned over the two cards on the table, and there was indeed a large paragraph of text engraved on the back.

"On the seventh day of the castle, my arm was removed. They said my arm was broken, and they replaced it with a new one. But the new arm feels weird. I can't hold the needle and thread, and I can't use it..."

"Castle No. 14 days, today I finally changed my stomach. They said that the new stomach will no longer be hungry, will no longer reproduce bacteria, will no longer hurt, and will no longer want to vomit. Starting today, I can stop eating ..."

As soon as Jian Hong finished reading the two paragraphs, she heard a loud "bang".

Fei Zhengqi pounded his fist on the dining table, still shaking unceasingly.

Ke Chun continued Jian Hong's words, telling the experience of this person: "Her facial features, lungs, and limbs have been replaced with machines, which will not age and can be repaired infinitely, and when she is told one day that she must change her womb , She collapsed. She cried and begged not to replace the uterus. Without the uterus, she would never have a child in her life. But those people told her that the child could be extracted from her DNA and recreated. Humans no longer need a uterus. Resisting to no avail, she stabbed a fruit knife into her unreplaced heart and ended her life."

Everyone took a deep breath.

"What's another story like?" Bo Yiran asked Ke Chundao calmly.

Three sets of cards should have three stories.

Ke Chun took two steps forward, getting closer to everyone, and then slowly said: "The last story records the escape of a couple. They fled from the cold castle to the outside world, but they found out in despair. There is no difference between the world in the world and the castle. Cold, rational, profit-oriented, and strict, it seems that they are the only people with flesh and blood and feelings left in the whole world..."

"In the end, they chose to die." Bo Yiran finished filling in the ending, and showed the number three card in his hand, which recorded the ending of the story.

Loving couples become hysterical, they doubt the world doubt the world doubt each other doubt themselves, there is only one way to end this doubt - death.

After sharing these three stories, the atmosphere in the cafeteria became more dignified.

The air seemed to solidify little by little, squeezing everyone's body.

It was the same when Ke Chun and Lang Qiu discovered these three stories for the first time. The long silence was finally ended by Ke Chun's words - "We must live."

And this time, it was Ke Chun's words that broke the heavy air, as light as a breeze, but as heavy as Mount Tai.

"We have no way out except to trust each other."
