Neverland
Chapter 2 Selection
The riot broke out.
The high-power spotlights that were originally hung on the ceiling were extinguished at the same time, leaving only a circle of incandescent lamps hanging near the edge of the platform still emitting a faint light dutifully.
The dim light instantly made the platform turbulent, and the large shadows aroused the uneasiness and panic in people's hearts. Xu Muzhou stood where he was, and the shouts and curses from afar reached his ears.
But his eyes were still staring at the screen in front of him, the light green frame reflected a light halo on the neckline of his cheeks, the screen quietly suspended in mid-air, stretching out a thin sliver of light in his dark pupils. line.
"... to the destination." He repeated softly.
The mechanical radio rang three times before returning to silence.Xu Muzhou withdrew his gaze from the screen and subconsciously looked to the left, but the platform, which had a wide field of vision, seemed to be covered by shadows. Xu Muzhou could only see three carriages with all his strength, no matter how far away The part seemed to be swallowed by darkness, and even the sound gradually weakened.
- The game has started.
Xu Muzhou confirmed it with great certainty.
The ultimate goal set in the task screen is to reach the destination, and the high-speed rail in front of you should be the only transportation channel.And the last departure time on the LED screen should be the time limit for this game.Xu Muzhou didn't want to experience the consequences of not boarding the train if the departure time was zero, but the problem was that even though the vehicle status on the screen began to show the ticket check, the door of this car was still not opened.
Xu Muzhou didn't think this was a game bug, on the contrary, this might be the first level in the game settings.
The girl who had just come to talk to her was startled by this series of unscientific scene changes, she stood beside Xu Muzhou in a daze, and stopped talking about the plausible reality show theory just now.
Originally standing in front of the same train compartment as the girl was a well-dressed middle-aged woman. Seeing the girl talking to Xu Muzhou, she finally plucked up the courage to approach them and try to talk to them.
"Did you... see this screen too...?"
The woman pointed to the light green transparent screen in front of Xu Muzhou, Xu Muzhou simply nodded and admitted.
The middle-aged woman was flustered immediately, and her eyes hesitated twice between Xu Muzhou and the girl.It seemed that Xu Muzhou seemed much calmer. The middle-aged woman finally grabbed Xu Muzhou's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and asked eagerly: "Little brother, what should we do now?" ?”
The woman's voice was very soft, and it was not difficult to see that she had been well-bred when she was young. Even though she had lost her mind visibly, she still subconsciously controlled her volume and attitude, which was rare and not offensive.
Xu Muzhou pushed her hand away without any trace, and said calmly: "According to the above, get in the car first, and then drive to the destination."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the man in front of the car door. The man still maintained the posture just now. If he could not see the breathing ups and downs of his shoulder line from behind, Xu Muzhou would almost have thought that this was an NPC placed here.
It stands to reason that if it is a novice participating in the game together, even if it is a freak with a withdrawn and surly personality, there is a high probability that they will subconsciously gather in the crowd.Man is a creature in prison who instinctively seeks a sense of collective identity, not to mention living in a brand new world that contradicts cognition.
But it was strange that the voices of Xu Muzhou and the others did not deliberately lower their voices, and they were only three or four steps away from the man, but the other party had no intention of talking to them at all.
Xu Muzhou looked at the other person's back, and temporarily divided men into a category in his heart.
The information he can know now is that everyone present is not the same, such as young girls and middle-aged women who know nothing about the situation, and himself.Xu Muzhou couldn't be sure whether the man was the same as himself or had other specialties. There was too little information, so he could only take one step at a time.
Just as he was thinking, the radio above his head suddenly rang.
"Ding—the passengers in car No. 16 are already in place."
This seemed to be a signal, and then the frequency of the announcement suddenly increased, and the passengers in the No.12 car, No.14 car and No. [-] car were all reminded to be in place.
——Someone successfully boarded the car, Xu Muzhou's expression turned pale.
The middle-aged woman finally couldn't bear this sense of helplessness without seeing the future. She stepped on low-heeled sandals and stumbled on the door of the car, reaching out in vain to try to open the door.
The girl subconsciously looked at Xu Muzhou, only to realize that he was just quietly watching the woman's movements without moving.
Useless movements are useless except to spread panic, Xu Muzhou looked away from the woman, he took a few steps towards the front of the car, and looked inside through the window.
There were other passengers sitting in the vehicle, and the power of the incandescent lamps was insufficient. Xu Muzhou tried hard for a long time but couldn't see the specific situation inside. He could only vaguely see the densely packed passengers sitting in the vehicle.
The countdown to departure hanging above his head was getting shorter and shorter, Xu Muzhou bit his lip, forcing himself not to look at the sword of Damoris hanging above his head, trying to find something worthwhile from the existing details clue.
Xu Muzhou is a fan of inference games. He is used to holding all the clues in his hands. Even if it is confusing information that is not used in the main line, he will subconsciously gather it up and look for the part that can be used in the main line.
The radio above the head fell silent again after a period of intensive broadcasting. Xu Muzhou recalled the frequency of the broadcast just now, and found that there are already six cars in place here.
Based on the car numbers he heard, the largest number was no more than sixteen.The number of standard carriages of long-distance high-speed rail is a multiple of eight, so in terms of probability, the possibility that these so-called qualified carriages will not turn after sixteen is very small.In addition, the sixteen carriages also meet the specifications of long-distance high-speed rail, so the number of qualified carriages is almost half.
This is by no means a small amount.
What's more, most people don't have the innate acceptance of games like Xu Muzhou, which means that the conditions for getting in the car will not be very harsh, at least they will be associated by ordinary people.
The middle-aged woman is still working hard, but the door of the high-speed rail car is tightly closed, and the woman's rounded nails are broken in the gap, and the door is still motionless.
Bright red blood flowed out from the gap between the broken nails, and the woman retracted her hand in pain, before stumbling back a few steps as if she had suddenly regained consciousness.
The time on the LED screen was shortened from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, the radio gave a short time warning, and two more carriages were announced to be in place one after another, and the pass rate rose to 50.00%.
"What should I do!" Cracks finally appeared in the middle-aged woman's demeanor, a few strands of her neatly combed sideburns were scattered, blood was dripping from her fingernails, and her words finally became urgent: "If you don't get in the car, the car will leave!"
The middle-aged woman looked around at the people around her. Except for the man who hadn't moved, Xu Muzhou still seemed not in a hurry. He was immersed in his own world, and he didn't seem to hear what she was saying at all. What.The girl was more like a partner, she just subconsciously followed Xu Muzhou one step behind and followed him aimlessly along the edge of the platform.
The middle-aged woman suddenly felt that she could not count on them. She bit her nails nervously, looked away from the high-speed rail, and inspected all the possible targets around her.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, the middle-aged woman suddenly found a black SUV parked quietly by the wall near the exit in the shadow behind them all, the driver's door of the vehicle was half-opened, and most of the body was sunk in the In the darkness, only half of the car door was exposed, reflecting a cold ray of light.
The anxiety on the woman's face was instantly replaced by ecstasy, and her eyes lit up, as if she had finally found a glimmer of life in despair.
She couldn't help smiling, and walked towards the car in a daze.The woman brushed past the girl and did not forget to give her a hand.
"Who said we're going to get in the car!" The woman's eyes were frenzied, she pointed at the car, and said happily: "We can drive there, anyway, as long as we reach the destination - who of you can drive? "
The girl is less assertive than the woman, she clutched the plush breast of the little yellow duck's backpack, and followed the woman in the direction of the SUV hesitantly.
In such an extreme environment, individuals with insufficiently independent personality will subconsciously transfer responsibility to other people, and as long as someone makes an opinion, they will subconsciously agree and implement it.
But the girl herself doesn't know how to drive, so she pinned her hopes on Xu Muzhou.She stood still and turned around to greet Xu Muzhou.
"Hey, that—"
Xu Muzhou turned his head when he heard the sound, but suddenly opened his eyes wide in the next second.
His eyes looked over the girl's shoulders and fell behind her. The girl looked suspiciously at the sudden change of his originally calm expression. His footsteps turned slightly, his hind legs were slightly bent, and he was in a posture ready to go.
Xu Muzhou shouted loudly: "Don't—"
The girl turned her head subconsciously, but was blinded by the sudden wave of air behind her.
The middle-aged woman's hand was about to touch the door of the SUV. She seemed to be afraid that the car would disappear, so she opened the door almost as soon as she grabbed the door handle.
Dim light flows into the car along the wide-open door, and the dormant crisis suddenly opens its bloody mouth, swallowing people up in an instant.
The SUV suddenly made a shocking and complete explosion, and the joy on the face of the middle-aged woman hadn't faded before she was blown to pieces.
Xu Muzhou froze in place for a moment.
A living human life exploded into a firework before his eyes. It was the first time Xu Muzhou had suffered such a psychological shock in his 26 years of peaceful life.
There was a burnt smell in the air, and the unevaporated blood flowed rapidly down the cracks in the floor tiles until it reached the girl's feet, as if it was isolated by some kind of air wall that could not be captured by the naked eye.
The flames of the explosion and the shattered flesh and blood were all stopped within a three-meter range centered on the SUV. The girl stopped and was caught in this life-and-death line, and the broken limbs of the middle-aged woman rolled to the ground scatteredly. , a finger painted with bright red nail polish landed at the girl's feet.
The girl stood there in a daze, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, her throat hissed with difficulty in breathing, she gasped continuously, and even forgot to breathe for a while.
Veins from suffocation appeared on the girl's neck, her eyes were empty, and she wanted to suffocate herself to death.Xu Muzhou bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to move his lead-filled legs. He cursed silently, rushed up and slapped her hard on the back, the girl trembled violently for a moment, and broke out with her breath. Let out a sharp scream.
"what--!"
The high-power spotlights that were originally hung on the ceiling were extinguished at the same time, leaving only a circle of incandescent lamps hanging near the edge of the platform still emitting a faint light dutifully.
