Strange story player

Without hesitation, Qin Manjiang pressed answer.

"Hello?"

He asked first.

He was answered by endless silence.

After a while...he heard a confused and low female voice:

"who I am?"

Strange things are happening in the world all the time, but it rarely includes a person calling you out of the blue and asking you who she is.

After taking a look at the name saved for this number on his mobile phone, Qin Manjiang chose to remain silent.

"Where is...where?"

On the phone, the deep female voice sounded a little confused and panicked.

"Beep beep beep!!!"

The short sound of car horns shuttled through the mobile phone, and Qin Manjiang seemed to see a dense number of vehicles passing quickly past her.

What is going on with this woman?

"Are you on the highway?" Qin Manjiang asked.

"highway……"

On the other side, a woman in a white dress, with disheveled hair, extremely thin, and sickly pale skin swayed across the middle of the road and returned to the sidewalk.

Qin Manjiang heard an obvious problem from this woman's voice.

She was in a daze, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.

“You name a landmark that can be seen nearby, and I’ll come find you.”

Qin Manjiang said after thinking for a moment.

"I'm under a tree..."

"..."

"another."

"Mermaid Fountain..." she said again.

Mermaid fountain?

After thinking carefully, Qin Manjiang determined the approximate location. She was in the west of the city.

"Don't wander around, wait for me to come."

He didn't hang up the phone and took the little yellow dog home. After settling it, he immediately went out.

This woman's state is very strange, and her identity is even stranger. She can't even remember who she is, and she still subconsciously calls this phone. She must have a close relationship with the owner of this phone.

A rough guess formed in his mind. When Qin Manjiang was rushing to the west of the city, other people in the Kaitan game also started discussing the strange code name and the Kaitan that suddenly cleared the level.

"Is he a newcomer?"

"Can a newbie reach the chief position after clearing the novice mission?"

"Isn't it the same with Primrose? No one has seen her, but she suddenly rushed to the sixth seat."

"No...this is not a prompt for new players to clear the level. This is just a weird story."

"So, there is only one possibility."

"What kind?"

"A strange story with no deadline. It has been ongoing. Something suddenly happened today, which broke a certain balance and brought the strange story to an end."

"Is this kind of thing...possible..."

Everyone's discussion fell into silence. Although it was unbelievable, this was indeed the most likely thing to happen.

The question is, how long did the strange talk about [Man in the Coffin] last before a stranger suddenly rushed to the position of chief? ! This is simply...

Among them, Chen Zhiyuan was particularly shocked. He knew how many spiritual pupils Yang currently had. The number of spiritual pupils Yang held was probably the sum of the five people from the bottom ten seats combined.

But even so, that person still surpassed Yang in one fell swoop!

What kind of weird story did that person named Nie Yunzhen clear?

Cat Face Cafe.

After reading the various messages that suddenly appeared in the Kaitan game, Shen Ku put down his phone.

He smiled at the girl across the coffee table: "I told you, you don't have to thank me specifically."

The girl sitting opposite him is naturally Ye Zi, Yang Liu Ye.

In three days, the two of them cleared [Aging Me], and she also obtained a not-too-low amount of spiritual pupils.

Moreover, the real way to survive is just as Shen Kui said, not to have any physical contact with the "person being cared for", and secondly, to be flexible and not to agree to "it"'s requests at will.

"Of course not!" Yang Liuye looked at him seriously, "This is a life-saving grace. If it weren't for you, Mr. Shen, I would have died of old age like everyone else..."

Her expression was a little hesitant, and Shen Su frowned slightly.

He hated this waste of time.

Taking out his pocket watch and taking a look at it, he smiled and said, "If you want to ask anything, just ask and I will answer you."

Yang Liuye breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, holding the coffee cup in both hands, and asked: "Mr. Shen, I want to know...how did you come to those inferences?"

"It's not difficult. After reading the opening remarks and task requirements, you will have a general idea." Shen Kui said with a smile without taking a sip of the coffee in front of him.

"Ah?" Yang Liuye said a little unbelievably.

"We have all analyzed the opening remarks and the mission requirements of the game, but..." Her confused look didn't seem to be fake at all.

Shen Kui looked at the suddenly foggy city and said, "The opening remarks and mission requirements are both reminders and traps. I simply extracted two words."

"Excuse me...which two words are they?" Yang Liuye recalled the opening remarks and task requirements of [Aging Me] Ghost Story.

Opening: I'm getting older. Why is this happening? Why can’t we stop aging? His teeth are falling out, his hair is gray, his waist is bent, his legs can no longer support his body, and his eyes are getting cloudier day by day. Why would something like this happen to me? Is this...retribution...

Game requirements: Arrive at Dusk Apartment at 7 p.m. After midnight, take turns taking care of the elderly for one hour. Game duration: three days. Latecomers will be deemed to have failed the game. Anyone who leaves the apartment will be deemed to have failed the game. Anyone who dies is deemed to have failed the game. Game failed, obliterated.

"Retribution, take care of her." Shen Zu's eyes fell back to her from the fog outside the window.

"Retribution...care..." She tasted these two words carefully and asked, "I still don't quite understand..."

Shen Ku did not show off and simply explained: "Retribution means that the victim of the ghost story is not innocent. All attempts to rescue her are seeking death."

"The soup dumplings they said rescued the female college student named An Ran, but in fact you always knew that it was a dead end?" Yang Liuye suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Shen Kui shook his head: "The speculation needs to be verified. Only death caused by saving her can prove that there is no problem with my thinking."

"As for...care," Shen Kui smiled more gently, "Didn't everyone realize that care is an active word?"

"The people being cared for are on the weak side of the context, but the ghost keeps making demands on us, and uses various means to imply that if we don't meet its demands, we will die tragically."

Shen Ku said it in an understatement, as if it was an extremely simple thing: "I will respond to everything I ask for and dare not refuse. This is not taking care of me, this is being a slave."

"If we are in this position in this weird story, then the requirements of the game should be 'serve the old man', 'serve the old man', not 'take care of the old man'."

Yang Liuye was dumbfounded after hearing this. Everyone looked at the opening remarks and game requirements for a long time, but no one came to a conclusion that could convince everyone. But after Shen Ku sorted it out like this, it seemed like this was really the case?

"Excluding the first one who died in March, who is unknown, the other people had physical contact with it and then died of old age. From their descriptions after they came out, we can know that the ghost's request was also to deliberately let us have contact with it. Physical contact, coupled with the misunderstanding of the word 'care' and the fear of death, almost everyone will be forced to have physical contact with it."

"Actually, this is not necessary."

Shen Su suddenly looked at her and said with a smile: "Didn't you do it too? He later asked you to carry him to the toilet, but you said it was for his own good not to move around too much, so you went directly to the bathroom to get a basin and let him go directly Convenient in bed.”

"This is the way to survive. Change your thinking and don't be led by the ghost's demands." He stood up and bowed slightly to Willow Leaf. "Under the rules of the game, we and them are equal."

His smile was soft and bright: "Thank you for the coffee, goodbye, miss."
