Chapter 179 So Let's Explain the Situation
10 minutes ago.

After discovering that the door couldn't be opened, all the players in the room panicked in an instant.

Although such external dangers do not seem to be that much to worry about, if the room is really peaceful according to Pale Flame's statement, and according to the rule that this rematch must die enough people to end, maybe they will To be stuck here forever.It is not difficult to think of this point, it is better to say that people who have been paying attention to this aspect must have thought of it.

Even considering all kinds of deaths outside, the possibility of being trapped here forever is not high, and I really don't want to kill people for no reason and cause more troubles. It's worrying to think that others can think of this .

No one can know what other people are thinking, and no one can be sure of what other people are.What's more, the people in this room have been full of distrust among each other from the very beginning, and if they don't keep it together, that person's brain will twitch and he will kill himself with an irregular attack.So maybe it's better to act first - considering this, it is even more important to prevent others from acting first.

This kind of mental journey sounds very long, but in fact it only takes a short one or two minutes.Although Xiao Cang didn't think so much, he still sensed the tension sensitively, and made the correct judgment that these people need to be settled.

As a result, the contestants in this room, under the coercion of the Pale Flame, began to look for a way to leave the room before someone made the first move.Although this is contradictory to what Xiaocang said about defending against external threats, no one is making complaints about it at this time.

According to their observations, the decoration and layout of this room is similar to the interior of a building called a "game hall" in this world.Because of the limited space, there are only three game machines with strange shapes and a counter.

These three game consoles use red and black as the main color, and the patterns drawn on them are chaotic and crazy. Although they can’t see what the paintings are, they give people the impression of three clear words, "darkness", "flame", "Blood", if you put it together, it can be said to be hell.The initial screen of the game displayed on the screen is a string of text with the same distorted color and shape.

Besides, although the NPCs in this room come from many different countries, when they saw this string of text, they all understood its meaning as easily as if they saw their native language.

"Despair game machine, you only need to experience the deepest despair once, and it can provide you with an astonishing number of points. It is really a must-have for murder, arson, self-abuse, and suicide. You deserve it."

Although this thing looked wrong, but they couldn't find anything else worth noting in the room, they decided to send a representative to try this thing.After Xiao Cang volunteered to be the representative, the others immediately expressed their enthusiasm to eliminate all difficulties in using the machine for Xiao Cang.

Behind the counter, an unlucky player got three game coins by accidentally sacrificing three fingers in a curious machine that looks like a cash register and will be cut off if you put your fingers in. The small-eyed Xiao Cang brought a breakthrough.

After the surrounding people retreated to make a huge circular open space, Xiao Cang briefly familiarized himself with the joystick and buttons on the game console with confidence, then gave a thumbs up to the surrounding people with a smile, and finally turned the game on. The coin was thrown into the groove, ready to go—then, the screen of the game machine suddenly began to fluctuate, creating a strong suction...

…………

just now.

"How is it?" The concerned greetings made people feel extremely warm.

Paleo Flame crawled out with a smile on his face, adjusted his posture, and gave a thumbs up to a large group of people with concerned faces: "Don't worry! I have no problem! You see, there is no hair injury, and my face is full of red!"

"We're not asking this—" a young man muttered, but before he could finish his sentence, he closed his mouth under the unkind eyes of the surrounding people.

A relatively mature player in his 30s coughed twice, calming the others down. As a representative, with a friendly and concerned smile on his face, he said, "Really? That's great. That is to say, Is it safe inside?"

"Yeah." Maybe Xiao Cang didn't hear what the boy said before, maybe he didn't think too much, maybe he didn't care whether these people cared about himself or the situation inside, in short, he still maintained the same attitude as before. With a sunny smile, "I didn't do anything after I went in, I just had a meal with a very kind family, and it was over."

"Really? That's really great." The player representative said so, but his eyes and expression clearly showed doubts.

A group of players looked at each other with suspicion and confusion for a while, and then, the previous player representative continued to speak: "Well—is it just a meal? Is there anything else—I Not suspicious of you, just—"

Xiao Cang grinned and laughed twice: "I know, I know, after all, the shape of this thing is so curious, the decoration is so distorted, and it has such an unlucky name as 'Desperate Game Machine', and the content is so kind. Believe."

A group of players, including the player representatives, showed embarrassing expressions, and some tried to explain: "No—"

"Actually, I also find it incomprehensible. But the truth is as simple as that." Xiao Cang directly interrupted those people's denials, ignoring their embarrassment. After smiling, he frowned and began to think, "Yes Now, how long have I been in there? Did something happen just now?"

At this time, the dense crowd finally gradually dispersed, Wu Ansu was able to squeeze in from the outside, and said with a smile: "You just stayed inside for 2 minutes, even if something unexpected happened, it would be too late."

Xiao Cang's eyes widened: "Is it only 2 minutes? But I feel that I ate there for at least two hours... Well, then, no matter whether you have any plans to experience it, anyway, come here and listen first. Be prepared."

Xiao Cang thought for a while, and then said loudly to a large group of players in front of him: "Maybe I haven't noticed something, and I don't know if these two points are common. However, based on my experience this time , in this so-called 'trial', there are only two points that need attention."

"First, when I was eating with that family just now, if I remember correctly, my identity was a 12-year-old child. From the height reference of other people and buildings, and the appearance in the mirror, I should have been a 12-year-old at the time, yes, and it wasn't me."

Having said that, Xiao Cang paused for a moment, seeing that the players were arguing about the point he mentioned, and felt very proud of his ability to grasp the key points for a while, so he waited a little longer, waiting for those people At the end of the discussion, when he focused on himself again, he cleared his throat and continued:

"Second, during the period of time before leaving after entering, I lost my memory of the previous events. And it's not the kind of memory loss that I know all at once, but the impression of the previous events has become blurred , Uh, and, I don’t know if it’s because I’m stupid, I didn’t try to recall the past, or I didn’t think in that direction at all.”

Xiao Cang scratched his head embarrassingly: "Anyway, during the period before I left after eating, I completely regarded myself as that 12-year-old boy—wait a minute, that guy in the mirror always feels very Familiar, and kind of annoying..."

As Xiao Cang talked, his voice became softer and his head lowered, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were narrowed, and he bit his thumb subconsciously, as if he was thinking about something seriously, until Wu Ansu came up and patted him head, this is considered to have come back to his senses.

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Ansu asked with a gentle smile as she helped Xiaocang tidy up her clothes.

"No, it's nothing, it's not a big deal." Xiao Cang responded with a smirk. Seeing his smile like this really made it hard to believe how deep he was thinking about just now...

At this moment, one of the contestants who were discussing next to him suddenly said, "Wait a minute, if you lose your memory, what's the point of discussing this? Rather, from the very beginning, what he said made sense—" ……"

Halfway through this buddy's speech, he felt that the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became stiff, and even the temperature dropped several degrees. Then he realized that he was complaining about a person whose combat power was so much higher than him that he didn't know where to go, and The brain seems to be a bit of a strong man who is not working well. In other words, he is trying to die.More importantly, this buddy is an NPC.

After experiencing the change in the atmosphere, this buddy, who was not thoughtful but quick-witted, realized the stupid mistake he had made in a blink of an eye, swallowed uncontrollably, and turned his head slowly, His eyes met with the pale Yan who was looking at him seriously.

At this moment, he hated himself so much that he didn't listen to his parents' teachings honestly in the past, pay attention to keeping his mouth shut, and deeply reviewed his wasted years in the past, and felt that it was against him. The earnest teachings of the primary school teacher of "Refined", lamenting that the future time that has never been imagined seems to never come——

He was immersed in such complicated emotions and stared at Xiao Cang for a full minute, then finally accepted the reality, his eyes closed slowly, all the people and things he encountered in the past, big or small, were like a revolving lantern The same flashed before his eyes, no matter what he thought those things were good or bad at the time, now he greedily wants to experience them again, and is extremely nostalgic for them.

At this moment, the voice of Pale Flame representing the end finally sounded: "That's right! It makes sense!"

"Just like that, my life is over. Although it's not a pity, but I don't feel satisfied. Is this the feeling of death? Is this the feeling of death--ah?" An NPC, belatedly realized what Pale Flame was saying, and looked over in disbelief.

Obviously, Pale Flame wasn't saying some harsh irony to sarcasm, he just walked towards him with sincere respect and goodwill, and said at the same time: "You are very smart. Speaking of it, you can see it too Right? I'm not very brainy-cough cough, I mean, I'm slow to react, and sometimes I can't react all at once. Can you help me think?"

"……Ugh?"
