Devil's Playground

As soon as the next day dawned, most of the bee swarm outside the pit disappeared. When the sun was three poles high, Yang Jin and others were finally able to remove the rocks and walk out of the pit.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Conch stretched with emotion, then turned to the others and said, "While there is still time, let's go to another island to see?"

"Liu Ke said that you can't get over it, what memory do you have?" Lily immediately gave Conch a pair of supercilious eyes.

"Believe what it says." Although Conch still remembered that they had just completed the difficult purple task under Ruoke's guidance, they still couldn't help muttering something in a low voice, bickering with Lily habitually.

"Trust me, it's good for you to believe me." Ruoke said with a smile.

Conch blushed, laughed twice, and hid behind Joe.

"Stop wandering around, return to the safe zone to recharge your batteries, and wait for the next stage to start." Sulker gave his own suggestion, and then added, "If you want to continue to the next stage."

"Go back to the cabin." Joe made a decision on behalf of everyone.

In fact, the five people had reached a consensus to continue the next stage of the mission long before the completion of the main mission, so when Rick suggested that they return to the log cabin, Joe made a decision without consulting anyone.

As it turns out, trusting Thioke does have benefits.The five people were still on the way when the voice of the valet No. 18 sounded again.

"Toys on Strange Island, there are still 20 hours before the end of the first stage. Please hurry up to complete the main task and enter the teleportation platform before the end of the first stage. Note: If you fail to enter the teleportation platform at the end of the first stage, Toys that have completed the first stage of the task will be sent out of the game field, and toys that have not completed the first stage of the task will be obliterated."

"How long before we can go back to the cabin?" Lily asked casually.

"It should be soon." Joe glanced at his watch. "If I remember correctly, we have walked this road before, and it is only over an hour away from the wooden house."

"Great, I can rest for a while longer." Lily patted her chest, as if relieved.

Conch looked at Ruke curiously, "Ruke, do you know the content of the next stage of the mission?"

"No, I don't know." Rick smiled slightly, "But I can speculate based on what I know, and guess that you will be teleported again in the next stage."

"Then what do you know?"

"Where will we be sent?"

Lily and Conch asked one after the other.

"I'm sorry, but I can't answer both questions." Rick spread his hands pretending to be helpless.

"Can you answer a question for me?" Lin Yu asked suddenly.

"I can't give you an answer until you ask the question." Rick replied eloquently.

"What I want to ask is..." Lin Yu paused, "Is the world we live in real?"

"It depends on what your definition of truth is." Ruke blinked, as if he was interested in Lin Yu's question, "Material truth, or truth in a philosophical sense, or existence is truth."

"Stop!" Conch raised her hand to interrupt, "Can we stop discussing this kind of tongue-twister topic?"

"You can plug your ears." Lin Yu gave a negative answer.

Conch rolled her eyes, and took out two earplugs to plug her ears.

"Please continue." Lin Yu looked at Rick again, "How real is this world, or how real is it?"

"I like the way you ask questions." There was a bit of regret in Ruoke's tone, as if he was sad why his contractor was not Lin Yu, "However, before answering, I also want to ask you a question: when you are alive Do you think the world on the Internet is real?"

"You mean, the world we live in now has something in common with the virtual world we have come into contact with before?" Lin Yu asked without answering.

"I like smart humans." Rick smiled.

"I understand." Lin Yu nodded, "This world is also 'created', but the numbers 1 and 0 make up the virtual world, while the world is made up of atoms, molecules or some kind of substance we don't know .”

"You can really understand it that way." Rick nodded solemnly.

But Lin Yu changed his voice and asked suddenly: "So, are you a hacker or a virus?"

Rick's smile immediately froze on his face.

Lily, who had been paying attention to them, couldn't help laughing out loud, and even the corners of Joe's lips curled up.

"This question is not so flattering." Ruker tried hard to control his smile, but the tone he used was more like saying: Human beings are so annoying!

"You don't have to answer." Lin Yu didn't hold on to it, "Anyway, I have deduced the truth based on your reaction, at least part of the truth."

Hearing this sentence, Yang Jin couldn't help laughing.

In terms of quarrels alone, Lin Yu may not be stronger than Lily and Conch, but when it comes to bickering in word games, Yang Jin has never seen Lin Yu lose.Gu Zuo said about him, turning the truth into lies, and cursing people around the corner. These are what Lin Yu is good at and likes to do. Yang Jin and Lin Yu have been bickering for so many years, and the results are nothing more than two: serious You lose, and if you don't take it seriously, you're finished.

Liu Ke has already lost a round, and should he continue to lose next, or is he like himself back then, thinking that he would be serious, so he changed to a non-serious attitude and perfunctory, and then was completely KO by Lin Yu?

Yang Jin was looking forward to it.

Liu Ke’s choice was to divert the trouble to the east, and it flew to Yang Jin’s side, chatting up with him as if nothing had happened, “Contractor, are you too silent? Could it be that the questions they raised are not of interest to you?” ?”

"No, I'm just thinking about another question." Yang Jin replied with a half-smile.

"Speak and listen?"

"Rescind the contract with you." Yang Jin's smile was full of malice, and he secretly slandered in his heart: Lin Yu's suggestion to let him train another contracted creature was indeed prescient, and he remembered that he was a contracted creature because of this need. Human contract creatures really don't matter!

Sulker's expression became more and more rigid. It seemed that it was not good at handling such embarrassing scenes. It would only play tricks instead of gags. Playing stupid seemed to be its limit. Being threatened by Yang Jin so much, it couldn't say any flattering words to ease it. atmosphere.

In the end, Lily stood up and smoothed things over, "No, if you cancel the contract, we will never see Rick again, and there is no way to ask him for help!"

When Lili said this, Rick immediately calmed down, showing a proud expression of "you must be reluctant to give up on me".

Yang Jin smiled, but didn't answer.

Lily changed the topic and led Ruoke back to her side.

——Look, I forgot who your contractor is again.

Yang Jin couldn't help but slander.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Jin and his party returned to the wooden house.

In order to avoid wasps in the potholes and to save some trouble, the five people all ate nutrition capsules yesterday, but now it has been more than 24 hours since the last time they ate, and all five of them felt hungry again.

While it was still early, Lily and Conch cooked them a dinner with sulfur gram, and Lin Yu also swallowed another nutritional capsule.

After eating and drinking enough, the five of them went to bed early, did not arrange any vigils, only took out the alarm clock, and set the time at four o'clock in the morning - the deadline for the first stage was six o'clock in the morning, even if some of them stayed in bed, Allow an hour or so for prep time.

Silent all night.

The next morning, five people got up on time and sat on the chairs on the transmission platform before six o'clock.

The slime has been taken into the training room by Yang Jin, but Liuk still hasn't disappeared, floating leisurely beside Yang Jin.

Yang Jin hadn't teleported with the contracted creature yet, but seeing Liu Ke's calm look, he didn't bother to ask any more questions, and just waited to see the teleportation result.

When six o'clock came, the voice of the valet No. 18 rang on time.

"The first stage of Green Game Money Strange Island' is now all over, the number of toys entering the game field is 10, and the number of toys that have completed the first stage task is 9..."

"Ten people?" Lily couldn't help but exclaimed, "Where are the other five guys?"

"Quiet!" Joe stopped coldly.

"...Toys that have entered the transmission platform but have not completed the main task of the first stage and toys that have completed the task of the first stage but have not entered the transmission platform will be sent out of the game field and the game will be suspended; Toys that can enter the teleportation platform will be obliterated." The valet No. 18 seemed unable to hear Lily's question, and continued to talk to himself, "The first stage of settlement has been completed. Teleport one person, obliterate one person, and execute immediately. Note: Teleportation and erasure take time to execute, please wait for other toys."

What reassured Yang Jin and the others was that none of the five of them suddenly disappeared after the "kill" order was issued. Obviously, the one who was killed was among the other five and had nothing to do with them.

About 1 minute later, No. 18 valet spoke again, "From now on, all toys will be divided into two camps, the Fishman Island team and the Ghost Monkey Island team, according to their positions in the first stage, and start the next stage of tasks in a competition mode." .Since the overall mission of the Murloc Island team in the first phase is more complete, as a reward, after the start of the second phase, the Murloc Island team will get an aircraft equipped with supplies. This aircraft has limited defensive functions. Use Please be careful when doing so.”

"Yeah!" Conch and Lily exclaimed excitedly.

"Note: After the start of the second stage, the defensive light screen in the safe zone will be revoked, and the corresponding protection and isolation functions will also disappear. Note: There is no time limit for the second stage, and completing the mission is the only way to leave here. Note: The first After the second stage starts, the difficulty of the game field will be raised to the blue level, please choose to continue or leave within ten seconds, ten, nine, eight, seven..."

The countdown sounded again, and Yang Jin and others hurriedly pressed the green button in front of the table.

"...five, four, three... Everyone has been selected, a new scene is about to be constructed, and the second teleportation is about to start." This time the countdown did not end, but a new countdown will follow immediately, "Ten, Nine ,eight……"

Before the number 18 male servant finished counting, Yang Jin had already lost consciousness in the dizziness.
