Devil's Playground

"Contractor, you humans have a saying that curiosity kills cats." Li Ke looked at Yang Jin with a half-smile, "Too much curiosity is really not a good thing!"

"But it's obvious that you need souls, especially the souls of living people." Yang Jin tentatively said, "In this case, why don't you trick me into killing people so that your needs can be completely satisfied?"

"Contractor, you humans have many interesting proverbs, such as you can't become fat in one sitting, and Rome wasn't built in a day." Ruk said solemnly, "There are reasons for me to do this, please rest assured that I Not killing chickens to get eggs, not crossing rivers to tear down bridges - don't forget, we signed a contract, and you should believe in its efficacy."

Yang Jin really wanted to tell Liu Ke that he couldn't believe it, but before he could say anything, he realized that such a rebuttal was meaningless.

"Okay, Contractor, it won't be safe to talk any longer, let's see you in the playground." Ruoke grinned and disappeared into the screen.

With the disappearance of Sulker, Yang Jin's memory light screen also automatically turned off, returning to a controllable state.

Yang Jin looked up at Lin Yu, "Did you hear that?"

"I can only hear your voice, but I can more or less guess what you are talking about." Lin Yu nodded.

"It said that there is a soul in the soul stone." Yang Jin took out the remaining two soul stones and repeated what Ru Ke had said with lingering fear.

"It should be true that there are imprints hidden in the soul, but it may not be a real imprint, and it may be some kind of special technology similar to a monitoring program. Otherwise, the voice that appears in our minds every now and then is another Where did it come from? There must be a channel, right?" After listening, Lin Yu said calmly, "As for Rick, we had a premonition from the beginning that its help must have ulterior motives, and now it's just another boot that fell Earth, you should be at ease."

"Anxin?" Yang Jin raised the soul stone in his hand, "There are two big living people inside!"

"Why didn't you think that they were two big living people when you killed them?" Lin Yu rolled his eyes back at him.

Yang Jin suddenly lost his voice, and said in his heart, he really didn't think about it at that time.

"Don't you think it's not you who stabbed the last knife, so you can be irresponsible?" Lin Yu continued to ask.

Yang Jin was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "I really didn't think I killed them, I just..."

"I just threw a spell on them." Lin Yu finished the sentence for him, "It's like someone is singing on stage, and you threw them a stack of banknotes."

"It's almost like this feeling." Yang Jin shrugged mockingly, looked down at the soul stone in his hand, quickly flipped his fingers, and put them back into the memory, "You said, why did Rick choose me? Isn't it just a coincidence?"

"Coincidence is made up of necessity." Lin Yu replied, "There are fewer summoning professions here than healing professions, and there are very few who can become demon warlocks. In addition, you still have a balanced talent..."

As he spoke, Lin Yu frowned and fell into deep thought.

"What did you think of?" Yang Jin asked.

"I have always had a question." Lin Yu turned to look at Yang Jin, "Normally, even if you are selected into the game field, you should go to District N instead of District E, because no matter from any angle, you are not eligible for E. Mister's screening criteria. If that's the case, what is the reason why you were selected into District E? It couldn't be Mr. E's whim, right?"

"I always thought that I came here because of you—you are here." Yang Jin said seriously.

"How is it possible." Lin Yu was speechless, "With Mr. E's personality, would he send my friend to me because he hates me? What's the point of doing this?"

"Disgusting you?"

"It would be more fun to kill me directly, right?" Lin Yu's head was full of black lines, "Stop talking nonsense, it is absolutely impossible for you to be chosen by Mr. E because of me, but the balance talent is more doubtful—you say, Mr. E will Don't you know about the existence of Rick?"

Yang Jin was taken aback, and quickly understood Lin Yu's meaning, "Do you think my entry into Area E has something to do with Ruke?"

"When we met Mr. E in the museum hall, he once said something to you. Do you think that sentence was really meant to you?" Lin Yu looked into Yang Jin's eyes and asked word by word. road.

"Do you think it's not warning me, but Liu Ke?" Yang Jin asked in a daze.

"Maybe you should convey that warning to Rick." Lin Yu shrugged, "For example, next time we meet."

"...I suddenly have a subtle feeling that they are shouting through me." Yang Jin murmured, "Maybe I should go talk to Mr. E about Rick?"

"Are you sure you won't be directly obliterated by Mr. E after talking about it?" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ru Ke only asked you to go to Mr. E when you had to, but didn't ask you to go to Mr. E when nothing happened. Go to Mr E and expose it."

"I don't believe in Liuke." Yang Jin replied without thinking.

"Then you believe in Mr. E?" Lin Yu asked, "I'm afraid you have forgotten who you are now—we are toys, and our existence is to make fun of Mr. E or some guys we don't know. From From the day of resurrection, we will lose the right to trust and doubt, and can only be played by these administrators like marionettes."

"Don't you think the current state is more free?" Yang Jin couldn't help but said.

"You think so?" Lin Yu looked at Yang Jin suspiciously, and then smiled mockingly, "It seems that our definitions of freedom are different."

"What kind of freedom do you want?" Yang Jin reached out and grabbed Lin Yu's hands.

"In my opinion, freedom is not that you can do whatever you want, but that when you encounter something you don't want to do, you don't have to do it." Lin Yu lowered his head, watching Yang Jin playing with his fingers, "But the freedom here is the former one, the one I can't identify with."

"Is there anything here that you don't want to do but have to do?" Yang Jin raised his head and looked at Lin Yu inexplicably.

"The method of killing." Lin Yu replied indifferently, "Death should be disorderly and sudden, instead of leading the death according to the established script as it is now."

——killing, script, death?

Yang Jin suddenly felt thick black lines falling from his head, and it took him a while to squeeze out a smile, "Honey, you've confused me."

"You probably can't understand this feeling." Lin Yu pulled out his hand, "Of course, you don't need to understand."

Yang Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught Lin Yu back, "What I can't understand is only the part about the script, but I can understand the part about disorderly death—really, I can understand, if death can be predict, and life loses its fun.”

"Really?" Lin Yu raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

"Everyone is bound to die. We are doomed to die from the day we are born." Yang Jin put Lin Yu's hands to his lips and kissed softly, "The reason why we can live knowing that we are going to die is because Because no one knows exactly when death will come, maybe the next second, maybe a hundred years later—that’s the joy of life.”

"...Are you always thinking about this?" Lin Yu's expression was a bit complicated.

"I'm free, you know that." Yang Jin shrugged.

Lin Yu sighed, "Has anyone ever told you that you are actually quite strange?"

"More people think this is just Wen Qing's habit of moaning without illness." Yang Jin replied with a smile.

"Maybe." Lin Yu squatted down, exchanged a soft but intimate kiss with Yang Jin, and then said calmly, "But now is not the time to talk about romance, I'll go to Hailuo first, and wait for it to be confirmed." Where to go to eat tonight and come back to find you."

"Go, man of science." Yang Jin raised his neck, kissed Lin Yu again, and watched him leave the basement.

At 05:30, Yang Jin put on clean clothes suitable for going out, and went to the living room with Lin Yu to meet other people, and was going to have dinner in the cafeteria outside the central area.

Lin Yu originally wanted to buy some of Conch's favorite foods through the sales system, but Conch felt that it was too boring to be stuck in the house all the time, and wanted to go out for a stroll.Lily also fanned the flames and asked Lin Yu to treat guests outside.So Joe recommended the cafeteria located outside the central hall—it is also the industry of Delicious Restaurant, but the service targets are members of the other three districts, and the tastes are more abundant.

Lin Yu accepted Joe's recommendation, but then said, "Since it's a cafeteria, then AA is ready. I'll pay for the conch, and you will pay for it yourself."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yu transferred [-] survival points to everyone.

The four of them were stunned for a moment, and they all stared at Lin Yu with wide eyes, not understanding what kind of trick he was playing.

After seeing enough of their surprised expressions, Lin Yu calmly explained: "This is an extra reward from the last game. Because I am the one who used the computer to clear the portal and the one who answered the last multiple choice question." , so in addition to the normal income, the system gave me [-] survival points as a reward. The so-called "seekers get a share, I won't do more work, just distribute it equally."

"Then why is it [-] instead of [-]?" Lily asked suspiciously, "Don't tell me that [-] points is your commission."

"It's not a commission. I'm going to give [-] points to the tourist. After all, he also contributed." Lin Yu shrugged, "Of course, if we can meet him again."

"Since you have prepared the survival point, you obviously feel that there is a high possibility of meeting him again." Qiao raised his eyebrows and said.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, "If the attraction of the bronze game field is as low as we see, and he continues to be a firefighter, then we will probably see him in the next game."

"What if we don't meet?" Lily asked.

"Then I've embezzled the five thousand points." Lin Yu shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"I'd rather you be corrupt." Lily pouted, "I'd rather meet that Baganda than meet him again."

"Why?" Conch interjected, puzzled.

"Don't you think this guy is weird? It's like a voyeur, pervert!" Lily complained.

"I always thought we were all perverted, especially you, Lily." Lin Yu stood up, "Let's go, let's eat."

"How can a beautiful girl like me who is loved by everyone and flowers bloom every day be a pervert?!" Lily chased after her angrily.

"That room full of dummies alone is crazy enough." Conch muttered from behind, "Won't you be frightened when you wake up in the middle of the night?"

"I'm not as timid as you are!"

"Because you are perverted!"

"Shut up, say one more word, and I'll show you what a pervert is!"

"Come on! Come on!"

"Wu that kid—"

Before Lily finished speaking, Joe kicked her into the portal.Conch was about to gloat, but Joe lifted his other foot and kicked him in too.
