Enter the survival game

This is an abandoned village.

Xu Wen finished visiting this place in less than 10 minutes and came to this conclusion.

The walls are mottled, weeds are overgrown, and the corners are covered with cobwebs. It seems that no one has been active for a long time.

He returned to the entrance of the village, and turned his gaze to the dilapidated bulletin board again.A few sheets of paper were pasted on it, the paper surface was yellowed and cracked, and the handwriting was blurred, as if it would be weathered in the next second.I can't see the detailed content above, I only know that it is a missing person notice, and it seems that many teenagers and girls are missing.But right now, it seems that not only young people are missing, but the entire village is gone.

When Xu Wen entered the game, he stood at the entrance of the village.After leaving the coffee shop, he quickly said goodbye to Lomo and entered the game alone.Although his mood was difficult to calm down, he could only try to divert his attention.There are more important things now, no time to waste time on love.

He was not with Lomo, and there were no other players around.

It was still early at this time, and the place looked ordinary, as if the whole village had moved out of here.I don't know what will happen after nightfall.

Xu Wen turned around and wanted to go to the surrounding area to investigate again.After walking for a while, I found a golden pocket watch on the ground, which was really dazzling.He looked around and picked up his pocket watch.The pointer is pointing to 12 o'clock and seems to be functioning normally.

Immediately afterwards, another high-pitched voice came from beside his feet.

"Hey, that's mine!"

He looked down, but what he saw was not a person, but a white rabbit in a small suit, and at this moment it was beating Xu Wen's calf with its small hand, urging it to return it.

Talking bunny?Xu Wen asked back, "Your?"

"My name is engraved on it, my name is White Rabbit!"

Sure enough, there was a string of small characters engraved on the side of the pocket watch, which was exactly the name White Rabbit said.He really lives up to his name.Xu Wen tossed the pocket watch to it, and pointed to the village not far away: "Where did the villagers go?"

The white rabbit held the pocket watch and looked at it carefully - the watch was the size of Xu Wen's palm, so it could hold it with two hands.After confirming that there was no damage, he put it in his arms: "Listen kid, if you want something from someone, you'd better be respectful."

A rabbit no higher than his knees would say that.

Xu Wen felt a sense of disobedience, but still changed his tone: "Then White Rabbit, may I ask..."

"Call me Mr. White Rabbit."

"Mr. White Rabbit." Xu Wen changed his words again, "Do you know what happened to that village?"

"do not know."

"..." Xu Wen resisted the urge to kick it, "Then what about you, where did you come from?"

"I said to use the honorific title!" Mr. White Rabbit complained, but replied, "I come from the Kingdom of Hearts, and I will always remain loyal to His Majesty the King." As he said, he put his hands on his chest and bowed lightly in a certain direction.

Kingdom of Hearts?Hearing such a playful name, Xu Wen thought of something.The white rabbit, the pocket watch, and the king of hearts all seem to point to a fairy tale.The setting of such a girlish feeling has nothing to do with the uninhabited village on the side.However, Xu Wen does not think that the game will give redundant information.Maybe there will be some clues about the so-called Kingdom of Hearts.

He was about to ask something more, but when he saw the rabbit took out his pocket watch and looked at the time again, he was shocked: "It's going to be late!" He jumped away in a hurry.

Xu Wen immediately followed.It is obviously an important character, and it also speaks the same lines as in the fairy tale. Maybe this copy is based on that fairy tale.And what I have to do now is probably to follow this rabbit to the kingdom of hearts in its mouth.

Mr. White Rabbit didn't stop Xu Wen—or he didn't pay attention at all.Its speed is not fast, but Xu Wen can't close the distance no matter what, let alone take the opportunity to talk.

There are no people living here, only solitary stones and woods, looking around, I can't see any buildings that can be called kingdoms.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the white rabbit finally stopped in front of an unknown cave, and jumped in without hesitation.

Xu Wen paused.The appearance of the entrance was still expected, but it reminded him of the bug swarm in the last game.

He shook his head and followed suit.

Surprisingly, there is no sense of weightlessness.The passage was very long, and he almost fell straight down, but there seemed to be a force supporting him to keep him falling at a constant speed.

At first, the surroundings were just ordinary dirt, and then it began to change, brighten and widen.It was as if a ray of light enveloped him, and then slowly disappeared after his feet touched the ground.Then, the surrounding scenery came into view.

Xu Wen couldn't help being taken aback.

The world seemed to lose its color, and the heavy dark clouds weighed down, making it hard to breathe.He was standing outside a thick wall, not far from a two-meter-high gate, held by two gray guards, with a black plum blossom pattern on their foreheads, with a dull expression, more like a gate stuck to the wall playing cards.

He originally thought that this fairy tale world would be more colorful, but in such a contrast, the uninhabited village outside looked cute and amiable.

Mr. White Rabbit disappeared.Xu Wen looked around, except for the gate in front of him, everything was in the shape of snowflakes, like an old black and white TV in disrepair.

Xu Wen walked towards the gate.The eyeballs of the two guards seemed to be glued to his body, moving towards the middle with an extremely strange trajectory.He stood still: "Hello, I just chased a white rabbit down, did you see it?"

The eyeballs of the guards finally moved away, they looked at each other, and answered each other.

"He's talking about Mr. White Rabbit."

"Mr. White Rabbit has just entered the city."

"Mr. White Rabbit didn't say that someone would follow."

"And a man."

"What is his identity?"

"we do not know."

After the guard finished the conversation, he turned his gaze back again: "We only fulfill our duty—to prevent suspicious people from entering the Kingdom of Hearts!"

Xu Wen couldn't get in.Could it be that he took a step too late and couldn't keep up with the white rabbit?

"Sorry, I mean no harm, how can you trust me?"

The guards looked at each other again: "He's suspicious."

"Perhaps not suspicious."

"He has to prove himself."

"Smart kids can prove themselves."

The two looked at Xu Wen: "Then, answer our question."

Xu Wen didn't speak, but listened quietly.It seems that to enter this kingdom of hearts, one must pass the test.

"Listen, the Queen of Hearts is a big bad."

Hearing this, Xu Wen was taken aback.Aren't these two guards loyal to the queen? Even if it's for the sake of a question, they shouldn't say this.

It doesn't seem right.

He carefully recalled the White Rabbit's words, "Always remain loyal to His Majesty the King".Remember that in the original book, the king was just an insignificant peacemaker, but in this game he stole the queen's limelight?However, "The Queen of Hearts is a villain" is consistent with the original, but no one will point it out.

"The people who couldn't stand her oppression resisted."

"The Queen of Hearts is lost."

"where is she."

"She is having tea at the Duchess's mansion."

"Hiding under the dormouse's bed."

"Singing at the Mad Hatter's Workshop."

"Oh my, where is the Queen of Hearts?"

The tone of the guards seemed to be singing, but their accents were weird.After they asked the question, they turned their attention away from Xu Wen, as if the person in front of them didn't exist, and they didn't expect the answer.

Where are you?

Xu Wen thought about it.

She appeared in three places at the same time, but disappeared. What does this mean, she doesn't really exist in these places?

This question is really inconsistent.However, there is no need to think too complicated.A person can exist at the same time, but it is not her real destination, which can only prove one thing.

"The Queen of Hearts was dismembered, and her organs are hidden in these three places."

The guards looked at each other again, but they didn't say much, they just stood in front of the door from left to right, and pushed open the closed door for the visitors.

Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't answer the question itself, but just stated the reason, which was actually a bit tricky.What's more, this question is a bit like a brain teaser. If the answer is such an inexplicable answer as "the queen has a shadow/body" or "the queen actually has three", he can only applaud the surprise and think of other ways to sneak into the kingdom.

The guard didn't say much else, and handed Xu Wen a temporary pass, asking him to go to the castle to exchange for a real pass.The pass is ordinary, with only a plum blossom pattern printed on it.Xu Wen couldn't see anything unusual, so he put it in his arms.

The door is opened, and the whole picture of the Kingdom of Hearts is finally revealed.But as soon as he stepped in, he couldn't help frowning.

As if passing through a separation wall, there is a difference between cloud and mud inside and outside.Of course, there are clouds out there.The environment in the kingdom is even worse.

There is no sky, everything is wrapped in smoke and dust.This place seems to be a coal mining industrial city located in the depths. The air is filled with dust and black smoke, which makes the kingdom shrouded in smog all year round.Stay for one more second and you will get sick.Everything is foggy, whether it's buildings in the distance or pedestrians nearby.

All of them were dressed in uniform gray gowns with black plum blossoms on their heads. Except for the different clothes, everything else was the same as that of the guards.Xu Wen was dressed in ordinary casual clothes, but inside he looked very fancy and eye-catching.As expected, the pedestrians slowed down and looked at him together, but their faces were expressionless.

It's a bit oozing.For now, however, let's consider the pass order first.With the weirdness of this kingdom, if you don't get it in time, you don't know if you will be kicked out.

Xu Wen casually grabbed a passerby to ask for directions.The man's face was unrecognizable as male or female. When Xu Wen approached, he realized that even the hairstyle and body shape of the people around him were uniform, like clones produced by a factory according to the same specifications.

Playing cards.

Xu Wen thought of the poker soldiers in fairy tales.It's just that they are more flesh and blood than the group in front of them.

Fortunately, the passers-by could understand people's words anyway, so they pointed in a direction casually. When Xu Wen looked around, he found a corner of the castle looming in the mist.It is really a very conspicuous building, if it is not covered by fog, I am afraid that it can be seen at a glance.

Xu Wen thanked and left, and walked inside.Along the way, he feels like a zoo lion, or worse.The onlookers still had expressions on their faces, but they just stared at him silently, not knowing what to do.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xu Wen almost thought he was spinning in circles.It wasn't because the smog was so heavy that he couldn't find reference objects, it was just that all the buildings and people he saw were printed out like a mold along the way.If it wasn't for the gradual clarity of the castle's outline, he might really think that he has entered the infinite corridor.

At this time, he noticed that the people around him stopped walking and stood against the wall, as if they were queuing.The line was very long, and all the way forward, these people looked like inferior products that were about to be destroyed, moving one by one in an orderly manner.

"What are you doing?" Xu Wen tried to talk to one of them.

"The play is about to begin."
