Help, I've become a paper man

"The Duke" shook her head. She didn't look frustrated by being rejected. She even looked quite excited, which made Song Yi feel a chill down his spine. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that those who refused the mission would die here today?

Fortunately, the "Duke" did not take action. She was still trying to solve the problem with words. She told everyone: "This is a task about the garden and the river. You can hear what happened here in the game and decipher the related stories to get clue cards."

Song Yi's originally tilted balance fell perfectly to the other side after hearing these words.

He was sure that this "Duke" could not take direct action against the players and was still in the process of coaxing them, not like he was telling them a story.

Song Yi asked: "Are the clues that can be obtained in the game random or self-selected?"

The Duke blinked and asked, "Is there anything you want to know?"

Song Yi said frankly: "Yes, I want to know the relationship between the chef and Yutian."

The Duke sighed, still looking at him, and said lightly: "You have seen the truth."

He did not understand for a moment, but as they looked at each other, his heartbeat suddenly quickened for a moment, and an image emerged in his mind, the "turtle" chasing him.

Song Yi asked: "Is it in human form?"

The Duke said calmly, "Unlike you, that was his sin, and the punishment for it."

At this point, Song Yi no longer had to guess, as he had confirmed that the chef and the "turtle" were the same person. The "Duke" did not reveal more information, such as feeding him a "tasting package" and that he needed to complete a task if he wanted a "regular meal".

Song Yi sighed and asked, "Do you need to use your brain?"

Ever since he came into this world, his originally plain and simple brain has become even more powerful than that of a child.

Among the "little friends" he was talking about, there were some who disliked him. Without waiting for the "Duke" to reply, Jian Nuanyang sneered first. Without Song Yi's protest, she continued:

"The mission is the mission, and what you get is just the story. You need to figure out the final answer yourself. Forget it, it's not suitable for you."

She didn't clearly say who "you" was referring to, but Song Yi had already acknowledged it and looked over helplessly. However, facing the face of an underage person, he was helpless, so he could only shrug and pretend he didn't hear it.

Jian Nuanyang glanced at him and said, "Battle-related ones are not allowed either."

Song Yi was not happy to hear this. To say that he was not smart was indeed not as good as others, but to say that he was bad at fighting was unacceptable. You know, when he first arrived in this world, he thought he had traveled to a fighting game.

Just as Song Yi was about to speak, Jian Nuanyang spoke again, interrupting him and saying, "In battle, you either use your brain or your skills, and you..."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Jasmine and continued, "She and I are both special types."

The Duke became interested and asked, "How do you say that?"

Jian Nuanyang replied: "Use your intuition."

There was a brief silence in the atmosphere. This time, she did not intercept him. Song Yi was able to speak successfully. He said leisurely, "You successfully scolded two people with one sentence."

Jian Nuanyang glanced at him and said, "No, this is a talent."

It’s better to have no explanation than to explain it well.

The air became even quieter, and they seemed bored standing there. Jasmine covered her mouth with her hand, yawned, pretending to be sleepy, turned her head and winked at Song Yi, trying to hint to Song Yi to continue with her eyes.

Song Yi didn't understand the meaning, but asked: "Are you sleepy?"

Jasmine sighed and shook her head at him. When he was confused and gave her an inquiring look, the "Duke" took two steps forward, closing the distance between them and instantly drawing everyone's attention back.

The Duke asked, "You should have discovered that a lucky person will be chosen every day until everything ends and the final answer is obtained. Before that, have you decided who will bear the fate today?"

These words were disgusting, and Song Yi subconsciously clenched his fists. He did not fight back or sow discord, and then he heard the voice of "Duke" again.

She said: "If there is no way to defeat fate, why not try another way and escape from here?"

"I admire her, but I also fear her, I fight for her, and I pity the travelers who are swept up in it."

"At midnight, take the treasures found on the negative first floor and return to the first floor. You can unlock the passage and leave here."

The words were full of "consideration for others", which made Song Yi's vigilance go wild. He shouted "crisis" and used the truth to blur the concept and deceive them to move forward.

Song Yi refused without hesitation, showing a tough attitude for the first time and no longer relying on Jasmine to make the decision. He took the two children away and did not continue to the garden, but returned to the banquet hall to prepare to enter the "dinner" script in advance.

Today is a sunny day, and he is going to base one, not to escape, but because the "chef" will appear in the image of a "turtle", and more information is hidden here.

Everyone returned to the long table again. The moment they pushed open the door of the banquet hall, the scenery outside the window changed naturally. Just like yesterday, it skipped the afternoon and went directly to night. Perhaps because they came in first this time, the time changed. Dinner was no longer a buffet, but fixed food.

Five maids came in from the door with trays, stopped beside the player, and placed dinner on the long table. Song Yi took a glance and saw that meat accounted for the majority, with staple foods and vegetables not much different, which was his favorite combination.

He looked to his side and quickly scanned the area, and found that everyone's food was different. It seemed that a "suitable" dinner was put together based on the meals of the past two days, which was quite catered to the players' tastes. If this was a project in a scenic spot, Song Yi really wanted to give it a good review.

But unfortunately, this was not the case. No one was in the mood to savor the food carefully. Jian Nuanyang only took one bite, put down his cutlery first, stood up and was about to leave.

He doesn't look like Song Yi's "fellow traveler" at all.

Song Yi's eyebrows jumped, and he stood up, quickly chased after him, and called out Jian Nuanyang's name.

They had known each other for a short time and their relationship was not harmonious, but at this moment, Song Yi saw familiar traces on her face, with a sense of "going to die", as if she was going on a journey alone. At the same time, the provocation of "the Duke" emerged in his mind, and the voice about "who will bear the fate" was particularly clear.

Jian Nuanyang stopped walking, without looking back, and said coldly: "Don't be a pushover."

It's really inexplicable. Song Yi cursed in his heart. This girl had ill will towards him from the beginning. She was just squeezing him. The two of them were completely out of sync. Now one wanted to explore the way and the other was blocking. What was going on?

but……

Song Yi subconsciously explained: "I can be a shelter for troubled teenagers."

This is a continuation of his previous complaints.

Maybe he is just a pushover. He lives in a peaceful era and has received education. It is difficult for him to watch a minor die. What's more, Jian Nuanyang's "malice" towards him only appears in his expression and words, and does not even have any lethality. His behavior at this moment is simply like that of a young girl who is unable to get over it. He is a little worried that this man is deceived by the spirit of dedication, or is provoked by the words of the "Duke", and is acting on impulse.

In any case, on the first day, when they met on a narrow road, Jian Nuanyang did not take advantage of the situation, and he was somewhat grateful.
