End of ten days

He said that after "Zodiac" killed enough 3,600 people, it might be "eradicated" and completely disappear from this world.

The reason is that he heard that every "prefecture level" is working hard to kill people, and there are even strong people who have been successfully promoted, but those so-called "zodiac animals" who have been successfully promoted have never shown up again. Some people say that they escaped.

But since there is no evidence to prove that they escaped, it can only be assumed that they disappeared.

He also said that after the "participants" collected 3,600 "Tao" stones, they would undergo a major reshuffle, and everyone would lose their memory and start over again.

This place has probably existed for longer than we imagined. We did not come here in batches, but appeared neatly from the beginning until now.

What’s interesting is that all the “interview rooms” here are like hatcheries, constantly hatching “good eggs” and “bad eggs”.

Our room has been a completely broken egg for a long time. No matter how we hatch it, there is no response.

The only person who can walk out of our room and open the door at the last moment and stand in the corridor is "Zodiac". I wonder how many rooms are like ours in the entire corridor?

After all, we have no way to obtain "echoes" and no way to preserve memories, so we will make the exact same choice to die here every time. Without any external interference, we will never be able to hatch life.

And Aries is our "external force".

At this moment, he is like a teacher, telling us about a world that is completely different from what we remember.

No matter what we have heard, seen, or imagined these days, they have all been subverted by his words.

I admit that I am not as calm as Aries. When I heard that the world was built on a huge lie, I really couldn't stabilize my mind.

This means there is absolutely no way we can escape, and anything we do is hopeless.

"Sorry." Aries said to us, "These are the results that I have investigated for many years. It is really difficult for you to fully digest and absorb them within an hour. There is still some time. If you have any questions, you can just ask. I."

I really have so many questions to ask, I just feel like my brain is in chaos and I don’t know where to start.

For example, if we can’t escape from this city, what are we doing?

Where no one is allowed to escape, why are there so many ways to escape?

Who built this place?

What brought us here?

Oh my god... I feel like my brain is going to explode.

This is completely different from what I had imagined before, as if my life suddenly had no direction.

If what I strive for every day in the real world is to "become a strong person", then the reason why I am willing to cooperate with anyone here is to "be able to escape."

But if I can't escape...which direction should I work towards?

"Survive"?

I turned my head and looked at Zhang Qiang. He obviously had many questions to ask, but he tried to open his mouth several times, but couldn't speak.

The room fell into silence, except for the ticking of the clock in the center of the table.

"That..." Zhang Qiang finally spoke, but he didn't ask the question in my heart, but said something that only he could say.

"Say." Aries said.

"What are the benefits of us cooperating with you?"

"Is it good..." Aries nodded, "This is indeed a question that needs explanation."

"Yes..." Zhang Qiang said anxiously, "It sounds like if we cooperate with you, you may become the "master" here... But what about us?"

"I have already said the first benefit. I will make you "absolutely safe". Although there is no time to explain, you have to believe that these five words are definitely the most precious guarantee in "Taoyuan"." Aries He sighed slightly and said, "As for the second "benefits", that is, when I become the master, I will find a way to change this place. At that time, as the veteran figures who created this place with me, you will definitely receive preferential treatment." "

"What..." Zhang Qiang was slightly startled, "Change...?"

"Yes." Aries nodded, "But I can only make a verbal guarantee, and I don't have anything substantial to give you, so whether you believe my words or not depends mainly on your decision now."

After hearing this, the two of us hesitated again. We can only say that this time the time left for us to think was too short.

If I guessed correctly, the Aries in front of us should have spent several years or even more than ten years collecting this information, but he had to pour it all into our minds within an hour.

This is really hard to accept.

"Then how long will it take you to become the "master"?" Zhang Qiang asked again.

"It's hard to say." Aries replied, "Three years to five years, ten years to eight years, a few decades, a hundred years."

"What..." Zhang Qiang swallowed, "A hundred years...? Are you really lying to us?"

"I really can't say for sure." Aries' eyes dimmed slightly, "To be honest, clearing this room can only be regarded as the first step of the entire plan. There are many steps to follow, spanning several years. Involving hundreds of people, I can’t guarantee that every step will be successful, and I can’t guarantee that every word I say will be fulfilled. If I can succeed, then everything I have said so far will be true. If I If it fails, then I will tell you a big lie.”

"This..." Zhang Qiang lowered his head and quickly thought about the pros and cons of this matter.

"You don't need to be nervous." Aries seemed to have seen something and said to the two of us, "Even if you reject me, there is absolutely no possibility of being "silenced". In the future, Sheep will be your long-term "Interviewer", as I said, only one "zodiac" in this room is enough, I will leave voluntarily, nothing will change for you, I will find a way to let the sheep host three interviews game."

"You mean..." I blinked, "You want to tell us this isn't a 'threat'?"

"Yes." Aries cast an approving look at me, "I'm afraid that you will be forced to cooperate because of my threat. In that case, I will recruit inferior teammates, and you will not be able to exert your true strength. So now I want to declare that you are safe, and no one will harm you because of your choices. At the same time, you must ensure that your next choices are all based on your heart.”

I always feel that although Aries doesn't know those effect theorems, they know psychology and conversation skills very well.

He wants us to let our guard down before we make a choice.

"Um..." I looked up at him and asked seriously, "What does "absolutely safe participant" mean?"
