The Game Show of Death: Demons of Reason

"Xu Qixiang, June 2022, 6." At the end of the year, he was a little surprised: "It's him..."

"It's his tombstone."

Chen Luyao swallowed the steaming barbecue, threw the stick into the stick, and carefully examined the name again: "I also just found this trace today. His tombstone is here, which means that his body is buried under it, right?"

"When did you know about the tombstone?" Nian Weiji asked, taking another step towards him unconsciously.

"The first day." Chen Luyao recalled, "Qin Guican told me that a person's name and date were engraved on the ground of the amusement park, and I thought it was a tombstone."

"Zizi——" the flames in the charcoal stove licked the skewers, and the oil dripped down the sticks onto the ground. Chen Luyao turned it over and said, "This statement may be a bit superstitious, but I In some respects, I am more sensitive than ordinary people. Every time I pass a cemetery or a cemetery, I can feel a chill, as if I am being silently watched. On the first day I came to the first floor, I also had the same feeling. It's not just us, it's a lot of other things. These tombstones confirm that, we're literally surrounded by them, and that's why the atmosphere on the first floor is so still, so ominous."

Chen Luyao's incredible speech did not convince Nian Weiji, he said lightly: "Consciousness is based on matter."

"I know." Chen Luyao looked at him and smiled kindly.Nian Wei already guessed that they might have been trained in how to appease the victim because they worked in the police force, that's why he had this kind of smile that made people put their guard down. "I know it's hard to describe to someone a world they haven't seen, just like it's hard to describe a feeling to someone they haven't felt. You haven't seen that world, and I'm not going to force you to believe it."

"It's interesting." Nian Weiji also smiled, and asked again: "Are you a theist like Mick?"

Chen Luyao shook his head: "I don't have religious beliefs, and I can't be sure whether there is a god. I only believe in things that do exist. Do you want to stand there all the time? Why don't you come and chat with me? I won't hurt you .”

Nian Weiji firmly refused, "No, I won't go."

Chen Luyao: "Why are you so wary of me? Think about it carefully, I have never troubled your team outside of the game. Xu Qixiang beat Wei Zixu, Zhou Tong wanted to provoke the relationship between your team, Mick from you Grabbed 3 points, Jin Jue attacked you... Outside of the game, only our two groups were safe. Even Qin Guican used 'Queen' on the fourth day, and in the end it didn't hurt you two Did it cause any damage? If I wanted to do something, why wait until now. If you pay attention to the point changes, you will find that we have not grabbed points in any group, everything is forced in the game."

What Chen Luyao said was true.

"That makes sense, then I'll go." Nian Weiji walked over without a stand.

"Uh..." Chen Luyao didn't expect Nian Weiji to turn against him so quickly, Nian Weiji sat opposite him, took away a bunch of charred meat skewers, and threatened, "Don't play tricks If you are against me, Director Wei will never let you go!"

What a weak threat!Does he really know how to threaten others?Chen Luyao smiled wryly: "Yes, I am the one who should be on guard. You stuck a piece of glass into my ribs yesterday. If Qin Guican hadn't found an anesthetic in the entertainment room, I would still be bedridden."

Nian Weiji took it for granted, "It's to compensate for the pain you suffered from suffocating Wei Zixu. It's reasonable to retaliate."

"Then you lured a wolf to bite me and Qin Guican this morning, what do you count?"

"That's because you made me sleep in the open all night, and it's reasonable to retaliate."

"Hmm..." Chen Luyao squeezed his chin, and said cooperatively, "It's well-founded and convincing."

"I didn't misread you." Chen Luyao continued: "Sure enough, you are the most sensible of all. When I first came here, I wanted to escape from here, but after today and yesterday's game, I found that DEATHSHOW is definitely not what the director said, it's just an entertainment program that kills people for fun. I have been in the bureau for so many years, and I have seen criminal investigation methods become more and more developed, but I have never heard of DEATHSHOW. The technology and facilities in DEATHSHOW are amazing , but eradicating it entirely from the outside world would require far more terrifying power."

"Are you trying to say that the director is not the mastermind of DEATHSHOW, but actually has a very tricky organization behind him?" Nian Weiji asked, lowering his head and biting a skewer, and immediately gasped from the heat.The oil coming out of the skewers was still sizzling. I don't know how Chen Luyao could swallow it raw without paying attention.

"Obviously." Chen Luyao spit out the meat after seeing that Nian Wei had been scalded, and frowned slightly: "Blow it cold before eating, don't waste it, people who waste food will become pigs in their next life."

At the end of the year, he remembered that Chen Luyao had said this sentence twice, so he asked, "Who said that?"

"My wife, she always said that when I was in college, forcing me to eat clean." When Chen Luyao said this, small wrinkles appeared at the end of his eyes.

"Well, do you have a good relationship?"

"Very good, very good..." Chen Luyao's speech slowed down: "She has always been considerate and has a quiet personality. So many years after she passed away, she still seems to be still there. Every time I eat Think of her."

It turned out to be a survivor.Thinking about it at the end of the year, Chen Luyao's wife should not be very old when she died, she died young, Chen Luyao has not continued until now, maybe she really loves her.If there is no new person to make up for the eternal separation between life and death, it may not be possible to get out of it in a lifetime.But the end of the year is not in the consultation room now, there is no need to take care of Chen Luyao's mood, he just wants to continue the topic of DEATHSHOW just now, and ask what else Chen Luyao discovered.

"You said DEATHSHOW—"

At the end of the year, he just asked the question, and found that Chen Luyao had put out the charcoal fire and started to pack his things.

"Where are you going?"

"I've been resting here for a long time, and now I'm going to do something serious." Chen Luyao said, raising his eyes to look at Nian Weiyi: "I shouldn't have delayed until now, but I'm also afraid, until I'm with you." You have a little courage after talking. My wife passed away, so I know how painful the widow is. Now that he has survived until now, I still want to do my best to save his life."

At the end of the year, he knew who Chen Luyao was referring to without thinking. The "Old Dominion" game has been over for nearly two hours. Although everyone else is silent now, looking peaceful, Chen Luyao reminded him again: there is another person trapped on the fifth floor. If no one reaches out to help, the Marquis of Jin may be consumed to death in isolation and helplessness.

After Chen Luyao finished speaking, he watched Nian Weiji quietly, as if waiting for his response.At the end of the year, he vaguely felt that Chen Luyao's rhetoric was full of loopholes, but he seemed to be infected by Chen Luyao's awe-inspiring aura, and felt that he could not ignore the Marquis of Jin.Afterwards, at the end of the year, he often recalled Chen Luyao. After that day, they never met again, but Chen Luyao was really a very special person he met.Chen Luyao claimed that Nian Weiji's negligence at the time was influenced by the "justice" card, but Nian Weiji felt otherwise. Chen Luyao lied unwaveringly, which was far superior to Wei Zixu's, because he knew at that time that he was Deception is nothing more than a detour. "Justice" is an awe-inspiring and obscure skill like him. It may be that the side effects of "justice" interfered with Chen Luyao's choice, or maybe he was the only one walking on the right path from beginning to end.

"I'll go with you." Nian Wei heard himself say.

"huh-huh"

Wei Zixu ran out of the woods out of breath. He was too anxious just now, and jumped directly from the wall of the second floor. There was no cushion for the landing, which made him dizzy.I didn't notice that Jin was there before, otherwise he wouldn't have climbed so close to listen to the wall. What's even more annoying is that I haven't heard anything, only heard the nondescript tunes written by Mick, and some theists' nonsense. Make up.

Wei Zixu bent down and panted for a while, and there was a continuous drumbeat in his ears. This sound could not go away, and Wei Zixu found out that it was his heartbeat after careful identification.At the same time, he had a splitting headache, his temples throbbed non-stop, and the lack of rest and short-term quick escape consumed him a lot. At this time, they worked together, making Wei Zixu just want to lie down and fall asleep quickly. Mick passed by just now, wondering if he would block people at the entrance of the building. To be on the safe side, Wei Zixu walked around the building and climbed back to his room with the help of trees clinging to the wall.

The sweet aroma of strawberry milkshake lingered in the room, and a human figure sank into the bed, and the year that should have been lying there was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh?" Nian Weiji was in a deep sleep when he left, it was only less than 10 minutes, where did Nian Weiji go? .Wei Zixu quickly glanced at the ground, the shoes were not there, he walked out by himself at the end of the year.Wei Zixu opened the door, and sneaked into Nianwei's room with a cat body.He wasn't there either.

Where did it go?Doesn't he know that it's dangerous for him to go out alone?Or is he not voluntary, and other people's skill cards have the ability to manipulate similar to "demons"?Wei Zixu's thinking ability seemed to be disconnected. He ran out and looked around the first and second floors. He couldn't find it anywhere, and there was no wax figure of New Years beside the fountain. Finally, he only found it outside the main entrance of the building. A pair of suspicious little Mazars.

Wei Zixu couldn't figure out Nian Wei's actions, and the open area was so big that he didn't have enough time to find people.Wei Zixu turned his palms over. He has distrusted communication tools since the second day, but now he can only try his luck.

"Hello? Can you hear me, Doctor Nian? Where are you?"

Dialogue sounds came from the terminal, but the noise was serious, as if it was in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference.

Two suns rise on the shore of the lake, the uneven steps and walls, the dead city built on top of the tomb, I never expected to return to this place at the end of the year.

"Is this also made by projection?" Chen Luyao said while touching the sticky city wall.After they entered the sixth floor, they discovered that the environment on this floor was quite different from that in the game.Carmichael's mansion disappeared, and there was a lost city beyond the elevator. The image of Carcosa swallowed the entire space. Chen Luyao, who had never been in Carcosa, was very surprised and walked deep into Carcosa.There should be no danger here outside of game time, Nian Weiji thought so, and had to go in with Chen Luyao.

"This floor is really too big, and it's changed now. How can we find Marquis Jin?" Chen Luyao said troubledly: "Even if he calls his name, he may not have the strength to return."

Nian Weiji followed behind Chen Luyao, and when he looked up, he could only see his broad back. There were no ups and downs in his words, and he couldn't tell whether the worry was true or not. "You just mentioned the organization behind DEATHSHOW, what did you find out?"

"It would be too arrogant to say that there is a discovery. We are all fish in the net, and we can't even control our own destiny, let alone investigate DEATHSHOW. It's just that after these days, my attention has shifted from my own life and death to DEATHSHOW. We who were kidnapped to this place have one thing in common, that is, the stains on DEATHTHEATER's performance. But DEATHTHEATER didn't give the parties a chance to defend themselves, we don't know how credible it is, how DEATHTHEATER knew these secrets is even more suspicious."

"Do you remember Song He?" Chen Luyao asked suddenly.

"Of course, I was very impressed."

At the end of the year, he was wondering why Chen Luyao mentioned Song He, when he heard something even more unbelievable. "Song He doesn't know me, but I remember him. He is a little famous in our urban area. He doesn't earn a lot of money as a teacher, and a large part of it is donated to children's welfare institutions. I heard that he often goes to those little girls. Buy toys and clothes. If I haven't seen his death theater, I don't know that he...has that kind of habit. Song He is a very good person in the eyes of others. Without his help, the lives of children in the orphanage will be inevitable It would be much more boring. But since knowing what he did to Anya, even the good deeds he has done have aroused suspicion."

"There is only one perverted and shameless Song He in DEATHTHEATER, but is that all? Is that what he deserved?"

Going further, Nian Weiji felt that the air was dull and he was a little out of breath.They have already reached the depths of the Lost City. The scattered streets and stairs make people dizzy. Through the gaps in the buildings, they seem to be able to see flashing figures. They are dressed in costumes, as if they are guests at a masquerade. .The longer they stayed in Carcosa, the more figures surrounded them, laughing and whispering came from behind the street wall, like reptiles flooding in like a tide.

When Chen Luyao asked that sentence, a small open space suddenly appeared at the end of the layered streets.There should have been a clock tower here, and it was already the end of the year when he looked up at the sky. He and Wei Zixu saw the king in yellow and those beasts with wings on the top of the clock tower. Maybe the king in yellow came to Carmichael's stage and the clock tower disappeared. Now, at the end of the year, you can only see the swollen and blue sky.

The pendulum of the grandfather clock echoed in the open space, but the grandfather clock could not be seen around. The false environment covered up the real building.The air was extremely thick, making Nian Weiji uncomfortable just like Chen Luyao's problem.
