Aoba Office

The snowflake screen lasted for dozens of seconds, which made me panic.

Then, it was like I was watching an old TV set.

Nangong Yao's figure and the snowflake screen alternately appeared. I tried hard to distinguish and saw that in those few fleeting pictures, the scenery around Nangong Yao was changing, and his clothes were changing. Sometimes it was students sitting in the classroom, sometimes it was soldiers running in the streets and alleys. , and sometimes he became a primitive man holding a stone ax in his hand...

Nangong Yao's face became clearer and clearer, and the fatigue on his face gradually appeared.

The snowflake screen lasted for a long time again, and then there was another long period of darkness.

I waited anxiously, holding my breath and staring straight ahead, not daring to blink. I was afraid that I would miss Nangong Yao in a blink of an eye.

But this time, Nangong Yao's appearance lasted much longer.

When I saw the blood, I felt sad. Even though I had expected it, when I saw Nangong Yao lying in a pool of blood with my own eyes, his body covered with ferocious black beetles, I still couldn't control my mood.

Nangong Yao's ghost appeared next to his body, looking dull and lifeless.

"Nangong..." I shouted and tried to get closer, but encountered a glass wall.

There are translucent graphics on the glass wall, which are a one-year countdown and a stick figure holding a baton.

Time was beating quickly, and Nangong Yao gradually had a look of regret on his face.

A task prompt appeared on the glass wall in front of me. I punched the glass wall angrily, but the glass wall didn't move at all. I groped along the wall and soon hit a wall. I seemed to be trapped in a black cube. Except for the glass wall on the front, all I could see was darkness.

Nangong Yao took action and left the place of death, which seemed to be an office building. He still acted with purpose. In the rapid passage of time, I saw him return to Qingye. The remaining three people in Aoba were doing their own things, and there was an oppressive silence in the office. Nangong Yao entered the office but could not contact them. Ye Qing should be able to see me, but he can't see Nangong Yao. Of course, he can't see me locked up now.

Nangong Yao left disappointed and found a young man. He tried to communicate with the other party, wandered around the other party, and tried to use the computer, but all ended in failure.

I didn't understand what he was going to do at first, guessing the young man's identity, but I soon figured it out. The young man is a "player" of the "game". He died suddenly and unexpectedly, and soon entered a countdown state after his death.

Nangong Yao sighed and continued his actions.

He found nine "players" along the way, but they were all killed by the "game" without exception.

Nangong Yao is still not discouraged.

I saw the countdown end. Nangong Yao completed mission one along the way and scared 100 people. After mission two appeared, he did not hesitate at all and continued to walk in the world in the form of a ghost.

I don't know how long he has been walking like this, but from the changes in the surrounding scenery, I can infer that it was not one or two years.

"Game" seemed to be surprised by Nangong Yao's tenacity and changed its strategy.

"Task 3: Please choose one person to be your resurrected body."

The writing on the glass wall changed.

My heart skipped a beat.

The mission this time is very clear. "Borrowing the dead to bring back the soul" is, in a sense, resurrection. Completely different from the previous trap questions. Of course, the premise of all this is that this "game" will abide by its own rules.

I have some doubts about this.

But Nangong Yao didn't even show the hesitation I had just now. He has traveled from China to abroad.

Hiking, taking public transportation... As a ghost, Nangong Yao can be said to be calm and rational, and also has an inexplicable richness of experience.

"Task 4: Please choose one person as a sacrifice for your resurrection."

The text on the glass wall changes content again.

Nangong Yao leaned in the cockpit of the plane and looked at the various instrument panels of the plane leisurely.

"Task 5: Do you want to be resurrected? Yes/No"

After the plane landed, Nangong Yao stood at the entrance of the airport for a while, then went to the taxi waiting point, got into a car casually, and drifted off the speeding taxi on the way, and happened to drift into another vehicle passing by quickly. Inside.

"Task 6: Do you want to resurrect now? Yes/No"

Nangong Yao changed a few cars, walked some distance, and gradually entered a small town.

I suddenly discovered that Nangong Yao hadn’t visited the “player” for a long time. My mood became excited. Has he found the key clue? Then I thought about Wang Yijun, who had just been killed.

"You should know that I do have the power to resurrect you. I am not on the same level as the game you once destroyed. I promise to resurrect you after you make your choice."

The text has become very humanized and is no longer a stereotyped game content.

Nangong Yao's pace has not slowed down at all.

"If you kill me, you will also lose the chance of resurrection."

Nangong Yao stood at the door of a primary school and said calmly: "After I am resurrected, I will not be able to find you again."

My heart skipped a beat.

It was time for school to end, and many students swarmed out and ran happily.

I saw the date and time of "15:31 on December 15, 2022" displayed on the school's electronic clock. I was in a trance. Because this time was yesterday... No, if there is a jet lag, maybe...

"I can resurrect everyone and promise not to kill humans again. This is my bottom line. I can use fear as my source, but I don't necessarily need life."

The moment Nangong Yao stepped into the school, the glass wall in front of me turned into darkness.

White words lit up in the darkness: "Do you want to save him?"

The glass wall lights up again.

Nangong Yao collapsed in the school's sports warehouse.

The two young men held the exaggerated and gorgeous firearms in the game and happily high-fived each other.

"Yeah! Killed! The first one!"

"I killed it! I killed it!"

"Obviously I was hit first!"

The two started arguing.

Nangong Yao's body began to become unreal.

Are you kidding me?

I can't believe it.

"Wow! Here we go again!"

Other ghost-like monsters appeared in front of the two young men, howling and rushing towards them.

They roared angrily, firing lasers from the guns in their hands, knocking the monsters to the ground.

The two looked serious and enthusiastic.

Moving red circles appeared on the glass wall, marking the heads of the two young men.

A line of text appeared: "Choose one of them as a sacrifice to resurrect him. A/B"

The letters A and B appear on each of the two red circles.

My body shivered.

"Countdown: 10"

"Countdown: 9"

I clenched my fists, "You want to play this kind of game again? Do you think I'm stupid!"

There is a line of words on the glass wall: "It's not a game, it's a multiple-choice question. I won't kill you, nor will I kill him after resurrection. You two can leave the game smoothly and you will never encounter me again." .”

My fists clenched tighter, and my teeth crunched as I bit them.

"Anyway, these two people will be killed by me sooner or later." Words appeared on the glass wall again.

My eyes were fixed on Nangong Yao on the ground.

"He almost succeeded in finding me, but unfortunately, I found the player first and then I was able to transfer."

"Countdown: 2"

I closed my eyes.

Nangong Yao didn't make that choice before the same question. How could I make that choice to resurrect him?

I opened my eyes.

"Countdown: 0"

Nangong Yao disappeared, and the glass wall returned to darkness.

"I will find you and I will make you never exist in the first place!" I whispered in the darkness.
