Hyperreal board game

The dark outer edge is scarlet flames, and the white light area is surrounded in the middle, like a snowball thrown into a furnace, shrinking visibly with the naked eye.Several people gradually accelerated their pace, and finally turned into running all the way.

The shadow of the elevator appeared in the distance ahead, which boosted everyone's morale and made them more motivated to run.

However, Yi Zai, who is supposed to be the strongest in combat, ran slower and slower, and fell to the back of the team.

An Ge turned around and grabbed his arm, half dragged and half pushed forward, but felt that the person he was dragging was extremely heavy, as if he was dragging a six-ton ​​hummer.

"Leave me alone, Brother Clay, you take Xiaoguang and go first." Yi Zai said suddenly, and gave An Ge the child in his arms. Not only was his body heavy, his face was also ugly, and his breath was messy.

An Ge had no choice but to take the little boy over and hug him. Because he was too confused, his brain was on the verge of a short circuit, and he called him repeatedly in a panic: "Yizai? Yizai? What's wrong with you?"

Yizai didn't answer, but just pushed him hard, "Go!"

An Ge touched Xiaoguang, and took the time to comfort him not to be afraid, then stuffed Xiaoguang into Xianxian's arms, turned around and grabbed the boy's wrist, and dragged him to the elevator where the elevator was located without saying a word. direction forward.

The person he dragged was not only getting heavier and heavier, but also getting hotter.

"Let go...Brother Clay." Yizai's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was enduring some great pain, and it was hard to squeeze out just these few words.He walked as if he were stuck in the mud, entangled in the gluey mud, as if about to be dragged into an endless abyss.

An Ge could already feel the astonishing heat of the flames. The tongues of flames rushed towards them like twisted snakes, gradually approaching from the zenith and all directions.The only exit is the front elevator door, which is close at hand and out of reach.

It seemed like the history of the maze adventure was repeating itself, but this time it was Yizi who was left at the end, which made An Ge completely flustered.

When saving Liu Fenghuixue back then, he had assessed the current situation. Although he would have taken a certain risk, it was still based on the premise that he would be able to retreat completely.If he had fallen into the despair he is now, he definitely would not have put other people's lives above his own.

However, at this moment, he couldn't think about anything, he couldn't figure anything out, he only knew that he was holding on to this person tightly and wouldn't let go.

As if hearing Yue Zimo saying to let go, he shook his head subconsciously, and retorted vigorously: "I won't let go, I won't let go! Don't let go!" The voice was almost heart-piercing.

Xianxian and Xiaoxing called Brother Clay anxiously, dragging him desperately into the elevator.

The surroundings of the elevator whose walls became transparent were instantly engulfed in flames, engulfing the figure of the boy along with it.

An Ge's brain went on strike, refusing to understand what was happening in front of him.

He was stunned as if he was in a daze, and he knelt behind the elevator door. The fire in front of him filled the sky and the earth, as if he was in hell.

No one bothered him, and the elevator was as quiet as a tomb.

It took an unknown amount of time before An Ge was stimulated by the dryness of his eyes. He opened them for too long, causing the surface of the eyeballs to become dry and hot, so he subconsciously blinked.

The scene in front of him changed instantly.

A vortex appeared in the depths of the fierce sea of ​​flames, and the steadily burning flames became extremely chaotic, as if they were absorbed by something. Pieces of crimson monsters scrambled towards the center.

But in just ten seconds, the sea of ​​flames that covered the sky and the sun seemed to wither into a shallow lake, and a huge humanoid creature rushed out of the waist-high flames.

It is said to be a living thing, because it seems to be acting according to its own consciousness.It has a human-like head and body, but it is all made of flames, like a burning Pyro.

But it was far larger than a human body, and An Ge could even clearly see the same flaming single fire wing behind it and the long horn on the top of its head.

And the cruel topaz-colored eyes full of evil.

An Ge and the creature's eyes met.

God says you will be punished for your sins.My wrath will come down from heaven and burn the guilty to ashes and will cause you to die in long, cruel pain.

The creatures in the raging fire were unparalleled in strength and evil. Just a glance made An Ge's whole body icy cold, it was difficult to breathe, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by terrible palms.

Soon, the last trace of flame disappeared, leaving only endless dark space.

The flames of the burning creature in mid-air dissipated, and a much smaller human figure fell down in the middle, just in front of the elevator, and slapped the elevator door with its palm.

Looking at the man's face, An Ge rudely pressed the button to open the door and dragged him in.

Yi Zai hurried in when the door was half opened, "Let's go..."

His words were interrupted by loud slaps.

The boy showed a shocked and hurt expression, turned his head in a daze, and stared blankly at An Ge who had just slapped him.

Before he could speak again, An Ge buried his head in his arms and hugged him tightly with both hands.

With all my strength, I was trembling.

Yizai soon felt his chest was wet by warm water.

"Bastard...!" An Ge whimpered angrily, "You-you-"

The strong emotions made his throat muscles uncontrollable, and he couldn't say a word. He just tried his best not to cry, but it turned into a severe cough.

Yizi's expression softened, and while wiping An Ge's face with his sleeve, he comforted An Ge in different ways: "Brother Clay, don't be angry, I was wrong, I frightened you... Are you okay... Would you like some water?"

On the other side, Xianxian & Little Xingxing: "...I always feel that I am redundant."

Yizai took the time to look back at them, stuck out his tongue with a smile, glanced left and right, and then showed a questioning expression.

Xianxian understood, he was asking where Du Xiaoguang had gone.

She spread out her left palm, gestured a few times, and finally pointed to her right hand.

There was an old gray-green stone seal in her palm, about half the size of her palm.Du Xiaoguang disappeared after entering the elevator, leaving only this old seal.

Yi Zai nodded to show that he understood, and continued to hug An Ge, gently stroking the back of his head and back.

An Ge actually calmed down halfway through coughing, but because she was too embarrassed just now, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to raise her head to see others, so she simply gave up on herself, buried her face in the boy's arms and continued to be an ostrich.

The elevator fell into an embarrassingly weird silence again.

The so-called, I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

In the end, Yizai coughed and continued to pat the back of An Ge's head, "Brother Clay, there are two identical buttons, what should we do now?"

An songs:"……"

Yizi tilted his head slightly, and listened carefully: "Brother Clay, what are you talking about? The wind is too strong and I can't hear clearly..."

An Ge: "What just happened!"

Yi Zai: "Blood and blood have evolved. I thought they would be dragged over and eaten, but I didn't expect to be eaten by me instead. Hehe... This is the cruel nature of nature."

An Ge: "Strictly speaking, creatures in nature are not evolving, but have been evolving. This is a translation problem. The biggest difference is that the essence of evolution is the survival of the strongest, while the essence of evolution is the survival of the fittest." Survival. In your situation, it is obvious that the strong survive, not the essence of nature."

Yizai: "Hey, it's starting to get serious, which proves that you have calmed down."

An Ge covered his face, wanting to be an ostrich again for a moment.

Afterwards, he bit the bullet and went to talk to Xianxian and Xiao Xingxing, got all the information, thought for a while and said: "That old seal is probably an important prop used to destroy Du Yiyu's plan, so keep it safe."

Xianxian shook his head again and again, and hurriedly stuffed it into the security singer as if holding some stinging bug, "The person who holds it has to pass the sancheck every hour, so I'd better leave it to you for safekeeping."

In this way, it is really most suitable to leave it to An Ge for safekeeping.

Then An Ge went to check the elevator buttons.

The previous button was on the top, but now the number light next to it has dimmed.Next to the second and third buttons down, two identical numbers are lit: 20300502

The only difference is the number of question marks after the numbers.

Little Xingxing tugged on his sleeve again, "Brother Clay, come and see this."

It was originally an old-fashioned elevator that creaked as if it would fall apart at any time, but now it has a brand new look, with an additional LCD screen above the control panel.

A paragraph of text is displayed on the LCD screen:

Every decision you make will change the future, please choose carefully.

20300502?

20300502? ?

Little Xingxing touched the number with only a question mark first, and the video began to play on the screen. The first scene showed He Jiao smashing the computer like crazy, and then arguing with Du Yiyu. She scolded Du Yiyu for being abnormal, yelling and saying to divorce.

In the other video with two question marks, He Jiao is wearing earphones and singing softly. The camera zooms out within a few seconds, and it looks like she is doing a live broadcast.After singing, someone handed her a bottle of purified water, and she took it with a smile. She seemed to be in a good mood, and she didn't look like she was pretending at all.

Little Xingxing said: "This puzzle... is it for us to choose He Jiao's future?"

Yi Zai: "What kind of puzzle is this? Of course choose the one she is happy with."

Xianxian said: "Don't be fooled by the superficial appearance. Although the first one looks bad, divorce is not a bad thing. As long as the divorce is successful... no, no, just enter the divorce process, Du Yiyu no longer has to pretend that he is not. Unemployed, the lawyer will tell He Jiao the truth. If you tell the truth earlier, Du Yiyu will not be under a lot of mental pressure, so he should not go crazy and kill people."

Yi Zai didn't make a sound, and was nudged by An Ge's elbow before he said slowly: "There seems to be a little truth in saying that."

Xianxian glared at him: "You don't need to be so reluctant. Then Brother Clay, what do you think?"

An Ge said: "First of all, we need to clarify the time point. According to the previous plot, we are now at the scene of the fire on November 2030, 11, and we have not moved yet. So the date displayed in the elevator - May 7, is very important to us. It is not the future, but the past. Since it happened in the past, it is not up to us to decide. So this puzzle should be for us to choose a correct answer based on the previous clues."

As for the previous clues...

An Ge quickly sorted out the details in the first two dungeons, pointed to the smashed computer case in the first video and asked, "Why do you think she hates these computers so much and calls Du Yiyu a pervert?"

Yi Zai was the first to answer: "Could it be that the downloaded hard-core AV collection was discovered?"

Little Xingxing glanced at Yizai in surprise, "You say that...there really is, that perverted Du Yiyu in the first dungeon, his house is full of cameras, even secretly taking pictures of himself."

An Ge nodded, "Then in the second copy, eight years later, He Jiao still knew us and knew that we used to be members of the detective agency, but Du Yiyu didn't remember it at all. What does this phenomenon explain? "

Xianxian also wanted to be a good student in Teacher An's class, thinking hard: "According to the information provided by the mysterious knowledge, a human has only one living soul. In the first dungeon, Du Yiyu's living soul was killed. But in the second dungeon, his living soul came to hunt us down again. This means...in each dungeon, there is a living soul of Du Yiyu? Hmm, and... time is continuous?"

She hugged her head and groaned! !Yin, "My mind is a little messed up..."

An Ge nodded and said: "First, you're right, there should be Du Yiyu's in every dungeon... Probably not a living soul, but something that is responsible for the collection time. Second, We killed the perverted Du Yiyu who put the camera in the first instance, this change should affect the future."

In other words, if there were no players to attack the perverted Du Yiyu, Du Yiyu's perverted behavior would have continued, or had lasted long enough to leave enough clues for He Jiao to discover.

He Jiao found out about the secretly filmed video, so she went crazy with anger, smashed the computer and decided to divorce.

... makes sense.

Yizai pointed to the second button marked "2030??" and said complacently, "I just said you should choose this."

Xianxian had an unacceptable expression on his face: "Why do you guess right every time, it's so unscientific."

Yi Zai giggled: "No, no, occasionally mistakes are made. Then shall we go? Brother Clay?"

An Ge didn't move, he watched the second video and pondered for a while, "It's just... Who is that person in the second video?"
