Survival Paradox [Infinite]

"It's too late, what are you doing?"

At some point, Ji Jingzhe had already arrived behind Wei Chi, and he didn't know how much he had heard.

Wei Chi shook his head, it's not appropriate to say much now, he thanked the old lady kindly, stood up and followed Ji Jingzhe away, asking as he walked, "How is it going?"

Ji Jingzhe: "The gate is locked, so it shouldn't be possible to force your way in with a carriage. There is a small gate next to people, and they decided to enter through there."

Wei Chi thought it was all right: "Success."

After a group of people entered the amusement park, they didn't know what to do.No one has come to Happy Valley Park so early, there is no one in it, but standing on the wide welcoming avenue feels creepy.

Wei Chi felt that he should not be too outstanding in this world, but fortunately Ji Jingzhe thought of it with him, pointing to the stand not far away: "Let's go and look at the map."

The map of the whole park is displayed on the notice board, and the colorful and cute paintings outline castle-like amusement facilities: "Super Big Horn", "Deep Sea Python", "Feathered Serpent God Ring", "Sun Fan" Spin", "Pantheon Square"...

Wang Biao said: "The names of these amusement parks are quite exaggerated. At that time, we were all like 'frog jumping', 'big flying hammer', 'swinging' and so on... Now these names are not enough at all. Know what it is."

Yuan Qi pointed to a place: "Could it be that?"

Holy Grail of Joy.

Wei Chi took a look at the location of the "Holy Grail of Joy". The shortest road would pass through three bridges, two squares, and some entertainment facilities. He said, "For the sake of caution, I suggest that we try not to pass by these entertainment facilities. .”

Su Delun was originally the owner of the escape room downstairs in the board game hall. He knew the game routines quite well, and agreed: "Yes, it is very likely to trigger a dungeon or something."

The last group of people took a long way around, almost three-quarters of a circle around Happy Valley, passed through three small woods, and finally reached the so-called "Holy Grail of Joy".

It was a huge cup-shaped facility, with at least [-] seats around the mouth of the cup, just like an enlarged version of the "rotating cup".

There is a protruding spike in the center of the cup, at least four meters high, almost level with the edge of the cup, and a golden "Holy Grail" is placed on the top of the spike.

Ji Jingzhe said: "Look at the material and exquisiteness of that little Holy Grail...it doesn't look like the original facilities of this playground."

It's like a real gold work of art, the flat bottom is placed on the needle-thin spikes, as if suspended.

Yuan Qi: "How can I get it?"

Wei Chi has already looked around the cup: "I speculate... once people enter, the game will begin."

Ji Jingzhe: "And it can't be an ordinary game."

Yuan Qi: "What do you mean?"

Ji Jingzhe shrugged: "For example, 'increase the speed ten times' or something, imagine that you are a cat falling into a straight-drum washing machine, the huge centrifugal force will press you firmly against the wall of the cup, and it may even shoot your internal organs Flatten it, or fling it out - it depends on how tight your mouth is."

Yuan Qi was so frightened that he hugged Wei Chi's arm.

"It's all guesswork, maybe it's just an ordinary game." Wei Chi said, "Take off all the clothes and make a rope, tie it to the person who goes down, and pull it out immediately if the situation is wrong."

Everyone did as they said, and when making the rope Tang Yin asked, "Who will go?"

Wei Chi: "'Rock, paper, scissors'? Fairer."

Su Delun said: "But... I think you may not be able to pull me." He is tall, two fingers taller than Ji Jingzhe, and he is the kind of thick-backed, fat and strong style. He said, "I have more than 200 .”

Yuan Qi also hesitated: "I... I might not be able to climb that spike..."

Wang Biao said confidently: "I can't climb up either."

Ji Jingzhe was delighted to hear that, and patted Yuan Qi's head: "Then what are you talking about? I'll go." Looking into Shang Weichi's eyes, he made a "stop" gesture, "Climbing along the pole must be me If you are better than you, don't fight with me."

Wei Chi sighed, tied the last knot, checked it again, and tied it around Ji Jingzhe's waist: "Be careful."

Ji Jingzhe patted the back of his head: "Alright."

Everyone stood in the high control room, which was the only place suitable for pulling people, at least four meters away from the big cup.

Tang Yin: "It doesn't look so far from below... How can I live like this..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Jingzhe actually jumped onto the rim of the cup.

The moment the person touches the rim of the cup, the cup starts to spin and the game music starts to play.

Ji Jingzhe's words became a prophecy - that cup really spins so fast!Even the music speeds up. It was originally a cheerful and relaxing nursery rhyme, but after playing it at double speed, it looks very weird.

Holding the rim of the cup with one hand, and stepping on the seat inside the cup, Ji Jingzhe actually stabilized her figure, got used to it for a while, and jumped towards the spike in the center——

He drew a parabola in the air and landed in the middle of the spike.

The radius of the circle is smaller, which will only make you more dizzy.

This time he didn't stop, and quickly climbed up to the spire, nimble like a monkey, the moment he held the Holy Grail——

Everyone could see that the resplendent and solid thing turned into flakes of ashes in his hands.

The Holy Grail is fake?

Wei Chi shouted: "Quick pull!"

Everyone worked together to pull Ji Jingzhe back.

Ji Jingzhe fell into Wei Chi's arms as soon as he landed, covered in cold sweat, Wei Chi and Yuan Qi carried him out of the control room, and as soon as he returned to the ground, he vomited in the green belt next to him.

Su Delun boasted next to him: "Dude, you're so powerful, what are you doing?"

Ji Jingzhe vomited like this, and still found time to talk nonsense: "Pilot."

Su Delun: "Excuse me, no wonder." I completely forgot that when I introduced myself, this guy introduced himself as an honorable teacher.

Back in the carriage, King Arthur didn't make a fuss, and waved them back.

On the way back, there was still no one there.

Along the way, Wei Chi listened to King Arthur's breathing, and always felt that it was much weaker than when he came here.And as the journey progressed, it became weaker and weaker.

While driving, he was subconsciously distracted by the sound of breathing behind him. The breathing was intermittent and extremely difficult, as if he would die in the next second.

For a moment he could hear nothing, as if King Arthur had really died.

He listened intently, and the carriage almost fell into the green belt of the municipal traffic.

"Ahhhh-"

Suddenly there was a scream, so miserable that Wei Chi couldn't figure out whose voice it was for a while.

"Ah-uh!"

Accompanied by a crisp bone shattering sound, the screams came to an abrupt end.

Then, there was a crunching, crunching, crunching sound, which made Wei Chi feel hairy all over his body, remembering the story of "chewing peas" that he heard when he was a child.

He yelled with difficulty, and only after he yelled did he realize that his voice was broken: "Ji Jingzhe..."

Not only was it hoarse, but it was also low-pitched, almost breathless.

But Ji Jingzhe heard it, and replied from the back of the car: "I'm here."

This time it was Tang Yin who chattered his teeth and asked, "What happened?"

"It's Su Delun." Ji Jingzhe said, "He was captured by King Arthur."

Wei Chi asked without hope: "Then he..."

"Dead." Ji Jingzhe said concisely, "King Arthur is eating Su Delun's finger."

On the other side, Yuan Qi cried out with a "wow".

"Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up!" This is Wang Biao, "Hurry up and go back!"

Wei Chi always pays attention to the movement behind him. Although this vigilance may not be of much use when the danger is really approaching, it will never be like a person who has nothing to do.

Except for the chewing sound all the way, nothing happened after that.

They drove the carriage back to the downstairs of the "ghost town", where they set off in the morning, and at a certain moment, they entered the endless darkness again.

The "faceless man" mask stood in front of them and waited for them, followed by a row of female masks.

"Welcome back, knights." The mask didn't ask much, and turned his head to the side. "Dinner is ready, please move to the restaurant."

Wei Chi and the others followed the female masks to the restaurant. It was still there yesterday, and the food on the long table was still mouth-watering.

The others had already sat down in their seats, and when they came back, they all showed expressions of relief.

Wei Chi and Wei Yuan glanced at each other, and then glanced at the others, feeling that the number of people staying here has not been reduced.

The female masks helped them light the candles, and retreated in silence. The crystal lamp suddenly went out, leaving only the candles.Wei Chi glanced at the time, it was the same as yesterday, every second was exactly the same.

I don't know if it's a time issue or a setting issue in this world, Wei Chi's last meal was yesterday's dinner, but now he only feels a slight sense of hunger, as if it's just the right time to eat.

Others don't know what it feels like, but today basically everyone picked up the cutlery and ate.

"Let's talk about today's situation first." Wei Yuan said first, "Brothers, take a breath first, please let Boss Xi report to you about the situation on our side."

Xi Lianghe was shocked: "Why me?"

Wei Yuan: "You speak well."

Xi Lianghe swallowed what was in his mouth: "All right...we are doing coolies today."

Wang Biao: "Coolie?"

Xilianghe: "According to what they say, only King Arthur and his loyalists can enter 'Avalon', and horses cannot enter, so we are now preparing the 'fuel' for the king's carriage. .”

Wang Biao: "How to prepare?"

"It's just...playing games, clearing levels, and getting 'fuel' rewards." Xi Lianghe said, "After you left, the darkness suddenly disappeared, and we seemed to have returned to the real world, although it was regrettable to find out...we In this building, there are many board game bars, game halls, escape rooms, etc., just to play those things."

Wang Biao: "That's ridiculous..."

Wei Chi suddenly asked: "What will happen if you don't clear the customs?"

Xi Lianghe shook his head: "I don't know, we're all connected."

No one spoke for a while, only the sound of knives and forks clashing in the air.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Ji Jingzhe went straight to the point: "Su Delun is dead."

The air froze for a moment, and after a while, Wu Ke asked, "How did you die?"

Ji Jingzhe briefly described today's experience.

"One more thing." Wang Biao added, "We conducted a 'departure vote' before departure, and there were five blue tickets and one invalid ticket."

Xi Lianghe pushed his glasses: "Invalid ticket?"

Wang Biao: "Yes, there are two cards in the selection interface, either red or blue, how can there be invalid tickets?"

The crowd fell silent again.

Wang Biao looked left and right, and laughed: "If you don't want to say it, then I will say it——I think the 'ghost' is among the six of us."
