Weird Talker

Chapter 87
Without hesitation, Qin Manjiang pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

He asked first.

What responded to him was endless silence.

After quite a while...he heard a confused and deep female voice:

"who am I?"

Strange things happen in the world all the time, but that hardly includes a sudden call from someone asking you who she is.

Glancing at the name stored on the phone for this number, Qin Manjiang chose to remain silent.

"This is...where?"

In the mobile phone, besides being dazed, the deep female voice was a little more bewildered and flustered.

"Beep beep!!!"

The short sound of car horns rang through the phone, and Qin Manjiang seemed to see densely packed vehicles passing by her quickly.

What is going on with this woman?

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

"highway……"

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

Qin Manjiang heard obvious problems from this woman's voice.

She was so dazed, it was like waking up from a nightmare.

"You said a landmark that can be seen nearby, and I'll come to you."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Manjiang said.

"I'm under a tree..."

"..."

"another."

"The Mermaid Fountain..." she said again.

Mermaid fountain?
After careful consideration, Qin Manjiang determined the approximate location, she was in the west of the city.

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

He didn't hang up the phone, took the little yellow dog home, put it in place, and went out immediately.

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

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

"Could it be a newcomer?"

"The rookie can rush to the chief position after clearing the novice mission?"

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

"No... This is not a reminder for new players to clear the level, this is a strange story."

"So there's only one possibility."

"Which?"

"A strange talk with no deadline, it has been going on, something happened suddenly today, broke a certain balance, and ended the strange talk."

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

Everyone's discussion fell into silence. Although it is hard to believe, this is indeed the most likely to happen.

The question is, how long did the strange talk of [The Man in the Coffin] last, so that a stranger suddenly rushed to the chief position? !It's just...

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

But even so, that person still surpassed Yang in one fell swoop!
That man named Nie Yunzhen, what kind of strange story did he pass through...

----

Cat Face Cafe.

After reading all kinds of information that suddenly appeared in the game, Shen Kai 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 cleared the [Aging Me], and she also got a not too low amount of spiritual pupils.

Moreover, the real way to survive is the same as what Shen Li said, don't have any physical contact with the "care recipient", and secondly, be flexible and not arbitrarily agree to the request of "it".

"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 Li frowned indiscernibly.

He absolutely hates this waste of time.

Taking out his pocket watch and looking 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, held 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 mission requirements, I have a general idea." The coffee in front of Shen Kai didn't take a sip, and he still said with a smile.

"Ah?" Yang Liuye expressed some disbelief.

"We all analyzed the opening words and the mission requirements of the game, but..." Her puzzled expression did not seem to be fake at all.

Shen Ke looked at the city that was suddenly covered in fog, and said, "The opening statement and mission requirements are both hints and traps, and I simply extracted two words."

"Excuse me... which two words are they?" Yang Liuye recalled the opening words and task requirements of the "Aging Me" strange talk.

Opening statement: I am getting older.why?Why can't I stop aging?The teeth fell out, the hair was gray, the waist was bent down, the legs could no longer support the body, and the eyes became cloudier day by day.Why did such a thing happen to me?Could this be...retribution...

Game requirements: At [-]:[-] p.m., arrive at Twilight Apartment.After midnight, take turns to take care of the elderly for one hour.The duration of the game is three days.Latecomers are considered game losers.Those who leave the apartment are deemed to have lost the game.Those who die are considered game losers.Game lost, obliterated.

"Retribution, take care." Shen Rui's gaze fell back to her from the thick fog outside the window.

"Retribution... Take care..." She savored the two words carefully and asked, "I still don't quite understand..."

Shen Kai didn't play tricks, and simply explained: "Retribution means that the victim is not innocent. All attempts to save her are seeking death."

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

Shen Shen shook his head: "The conjecture needs to be verified. Only by saving her and actually causing her death can it prove that there is no problem with my train of thought."

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

"The person being cared for is 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 end up tragically."

Shen Kai said it lightly, as if it was an extremely simple matter: "Anything I ask for, I dare not refuse, this is not caring, this is a slave."

"If we are in this position in this strange talk, then the requirements of the game should be 'serve the elderly', 'serve the elderly', not 'take care of the elderly'."

Yang Liuye was stunned when he heard it, and everyone read the opening words and game requirements for a long time, but they didn't come to a convincing conclusion, but after being sorted out by Shen Kai, it seems that this is really the case?

"Excluding the unknown March, the first person who died, the rest of the 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 is also deliberately letting us have a relationship with it. Physical contact, coupled with a misinterpretation of the word 'care', fear of death, and almost everyone is forced to engage in physical contact."

"Actually, it's not necessary."

Shen Kai looked at her suddenly, and said with a smile: "Didn't you do it too? It later asked you to carry it to the toilet, but you said that for its own good, don't move around too much, go directly to the bathroom to get the basin, let it go directly Convenient in bed."

"This is the way to survive, change your mind, and don't be led by the ghost's request." He stood up and slightly bowed to Yang Liuye. "Under the rules of the game, we and them are equal."

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