a ghost pretending to be human

Yan Ming hung on the Ferris wheel for a while, then climbed down little by little.

The owl mask and the husky mask were still chatting there.

The owl mask was chatting enthusiastically, completely oblivious to the fact that someone had quietly climbed off the Ferris wheel and left.The husky mask glanced there intentionally or unintentionally, but did nothing else.

There were quite a few people on the road, most of them looked distraught and muddled.Yan Ming was not interested in causing trouble, so he tried his best to hide in the shadows and avoid walking.

"Did you know?" He strolled through the buildings around the Ferris wheel.

"Huh?" Li Zigui floated to one side neither far nor near.

"I am the protagonist of this world."

"Ah."

"Don't express your thoughts?"

Li Zigui thought for a while: "If you die, will this world collapse?"

"Not necessarily." Yan Ming shrugged, "Actually, I really want to know what would happen to the world if I ended my life on the Ferris wheel."

"Lu Yiyi said that it depends on you to save the world."

"Yeah," Yan Ming looked up at the sky, "so I thought about it."

The illusion of the starry sky has dissipated, replaced by boundless darkness.

"The protagonist, you must die to save the world."

Li Zigui paused and looked at Yan Ming.

"Here we are." Yan Ming said.

They stopped in front of a pale gray building.The top of this building is low and flat, but it occupies a large area, like a short and fat mound.In the middle is a heavy door, above which there are dim light spots, forming the two big characters of "Shooting".

"Why this?" Li Zigui was curious.

"Because someone is likely to choose to come here. Therefore, someone must come here first." Yan Ming explained very insincerely.

Push open the door and enter into a hall.There was only one desk in the hall.Behind the desk sat a boy with his head down and writing.The boy raised his head and looked at Yan Ming.The left side of his face seemed to have been deeply scratched by a sharp knife, and the horrible appearance of his flesh and blood still remained before his death.His right eye is in the shape of a flat peach, the pupil is bright amber, and he is staring at Yan Ming without blinking.

Yan Ming looked around, saw the door behind the boy, didn't say much, walked around the desk and prepared to go there.

The boy stood up, limped to Yan Ming's side, stretched out his bruised hand, and gently pulled Yan Ming's clothes.

Yan Ming looked back at him.

He quietly held up a card.

The card reads: The game cannot be quit midway.

Yan Ming nodded, opened the door directly, and walked in.

Li Zigui, who just wanted to follow, was stopped by the boy.

The boy silently shook his head at him.

"Why?" Li Zigui said, "Because I'm a ghost?"

The boy nodded.

"Okay." Li Zigui said, "Then shall we chat here for a while?"

The boy shook his head.

"Hmm..." Li Zigui sized up the boy for a while, then said to himself, "You should be pretty in the first place, right?"

The boy trembled in surprise.He lowered his head subconsciously, then raised his head quickly, the pupil of his right eye constricted, staring at Li Zigui compulsively.

"Sorry." Li Zigui said after apologizing, "I want to go. You can't stop me."

The boy bit his lip tightly, showing an unwavering expression.

"Okay." Li Zigui sighed and floated out of the gate.

The boy stared at the door for a while before slowly moving back to the desk.

Li Zigui's phantom dissipated after a short distance. He appeared next to Yan Ming, and saw a plump female ghost wrapped in a colorful cheongsam casually talking about the rules of the game.

Leaning against the wall, she put all her weight on her right leg, revealing a graceful curve, her voice seemed to be whispering: "...there are six bullets in total, five points for hitting the target's head, and one point for other body parts .Get ten points to complete the game. Put on the protective gear and you can start." She held up a pair of metallic handcuffs in her hand.The handcuffs were attached to a not-so-long chain, and the ends of the two chains were fixed to the swing ropes of a swing.There is a cockroach hanging on the swing.

Li Zigui made a bold guess.

It seems to be a fighting game between players. "Protect" is used to limit the player's range of action.

"What if I don't wear it?" Yan Ming said.

The female ghost raised her eyes slightly, and was about to say something when she suddenly saw Li Zigui.

She straightened up abruptly: "How did you come in! A Huan, he..."

"That boy? He's fine." Li Zigui replied, "I sneaked in."

The female ghost breathed a sigh of relief.

She lazily leaned back and said to Yan Ming, "You can't go in without wearing protective gear."

"Oh?" Yan Ming smiled.

"You are here to save people." The female ghost said, "All the players inside are hanging on the swings. If you want to break in, I will open the mechanism that breaks all the ropes of the swings to ensure that the people you want to save One doesn't live."

"It's useless for you to threaten me with A Huan." She added, "The other ghosts inside can also open the mechanism at any time. Unless you can kill all our ghosts at the same time, otherwise, just obey the rules."

After listening to the female ghost's words, Yan Ming thought for a while, and then took the handcuffs from her.

"Don't wear it, just break in." Li Zigui said, "I'm here, they don't have the ability to open the mechanism."

Yan Ming paused and stroked the handcuffs.

The female ghost raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Zigui: "I thought...you wouldn't make a move."

"Then you think you're wrong." Li Zigui curled his lips.

The female ghost sighed, and leaned slightly towards Li Zigui: "Who do you want to let out? I'll arrange it right away."

"Everyone." Li Zigui said directly.

The female ghost lowered her neck, her face remained motionless: "Then you need to come with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince everyone."

"can."

The female ghost straightened up and smiled at Yan Ming: "You wait here. Everyone will be led here later, you claim it yourself."

Yan Ming simply nodded, glanced at Li Zigui, and said nothing.

The female ghost dematerialized herself and floated up.

Li Zigui followed the female ghost, passed through the overlapping walls, and floated into a room.

For a moment, all the ghosts in the room who were controlling the mechanism, communicating the situation, and recording information stopped working, gathered together, and looked at the female ghost.Their gazes quickly passed over the female ghost, looked at Li Zigui, and then lowered their heads one by one.

One of the ghosts stood up, bowed his back and said softly, "Follow the order."

As soon as the words fell, the ghosts dispersed one after another, returned to their respective posts, and started the work of releasing all the players in the game in an orderly manner.

"This is the main studio." The female ghost introduced.

Li Zigui was thoughtful: "It's so easy for you to compromise."

"We are all rational ghosts, and we won't provoke beings stronger than ourselves." The female ghost watched the surveillance video and sighed again, "These young people are so beautiful. "

"You're a ghost, you can become whatever you want." Li Zigui also watched the surveillance video, "It's just a thought."

The format of the game was as expected.There are ziplines hanging on the swing mountain, and they move randomly between the wall and the wall mechanism.Players are all trapped on their swings, maintaining a high level of tension, wary of enemies that may appear at any time.

Just when the ghosts announced that everyone would be released immediately, many people lost their lives because of a moment of relaxation.It seems that there is another player who has achieved the conditions for completing the game by relying on this, and is clamoring for a ghost to beat the chapter.

"Before I died, I was most used to the way I am now. I can't lie to myself, and I can't change it." The female ghost smiled and shook her head, "It's better than those who were tortured for a long time before they died. They turned into ghosts and lost their human appearance. "

Li Zigui was silent for a while.

"You don't look like you would like to do this kind of thing," he said suddenly.

"I really don't like it." The female ghost smiled with a touch of bitterness, "However, for me, this kind of thing is not a big deal, it's just a little sacrifice to achieve my ideal."

She turned to muttering: "Actually, sacrifices have always been there, but usually people choose to 'avoid sacrifice', but they just turn visible sacrifices into invisible sacrifices."

"Because you share the same ideals with the ghost king, you work for him?"

"I don't believe that he can realize his ideal, and I don't agree with the way he realizes his ideal." The female ghost replied, "...I just feel that the world can't be worse anyway."

Li Zigui nodded and returned to silence.

At the same time, Yan Ming also waited for a large number of players to be released.

With his back against the wall, he watched the players who still had doubts leave each other warily.Some people wanted to find the boy named A Huan, but all the doors leading to the hall had been quietly sealed just now.

After a while, he saw Wang Suren carefully supporting Ran Jingtian and walking out slowly.Ran Jingtian seemed to have suffered a gunshot wound to one leg, bleeding profusely.

Lu Yiyi lowered her head and fell behind, her face was ashen.She raised her head inadvertently and saw Yan Ming.

Yan Ming nodded at her.

Lu Yiyi's expression was mixed with surprise and disbelief.

Important plot characters are still there.There is still hope for a rescue.

What Yan Ming has to do is to turn hope into reality.It wasn't difficult, at least it seemed to him.

But for some reason, a deep uneasiness shrouded his heart and he couldn't get rid of it.
