Ten Days End

The two of us sat in the empty hut as the end was approaching. What we saw and heard these days filled our minds with questions.

"Zhichun, are we wrong?" Zhang Qiang asked on the side.

"I... don't know..." I sighed, really not knowing how to explain this.

In such a big city, there should be at least thousands of people active here, but we only found one "Tao" from beginning to end.

Which link went wrong?

"I think there are two possibilities..." Zhang Qiang muttered to himself, "Maybe we experienced a low-probability event... We two are the only ones who have preserved our memories... Others besides us have no concept of hiding the "Tao" at all..."

"But this is impossible." I interrupted Zhang Qiang and said, "'Echo' is the key point of 'preserving memory'. The bells here ring every day. How could it be that only we have preserved our memories? ”

“Then all this is really contradictory…” Zhang Qiang shook his head in annoyance, “So many people have preserved their memories and participated in the game continuously, but no one has hidden the “Tao”… Did all these people die in the game? If not… How can they be reborn with the “Tao”? ”

Speaking of which, our guess should not be biased. There are indeed many people here who preserved their memories earlier than us and started collecting the “Tao” earlier.

In any environment, I will assume that I am not the strongest, and there must be people who are stronger than me, and the same is true here.

For example, I heard that there is a “participant” who is very powerful recently. He always gathers a group of people to plan something, and you can often hear about them on the road.

After all, Zhang Qiang and I are not sociable, and we didn’t ask what the purpose of those participants was, so every time we saw people organized by them, we left in a hurry.

I always believe in one thing-

After all, a participant is a participant. No matter how strong he is, he can’t be stronger than Aries.

That leader can't stir up trouble, and she will hit a wall when she meets Aries.

But where did their "Tao" go? Can't the entire "organization" store "Tao"?

"Brother Qiang, what is the second possibility you mentioned?" I asked again after coming to my senses.

"That is... there are other "thieves" here." Zhang Qiang said seriously, "What we can think of, others can also think of. Maybe there is a larger and more tightly organized gang that is also collecting "Tao" and hiding them in a place where we can't find them at all."

Zhang Qiang's idea made me feel that there are still many doubts.

As I said, if there are thousands of people active in the city, and many people have received "echoes"... then they should have earned a lot of "Tao".

No... To be precise, "Tao" is the only bargaining chip here, and everyone will try their best to preserve it.

Even if there is only one "Tao" on the body when annihilated, it is absolutely impossible to throw it away.

From this, it can be inferred that there should be a huge number of "Tao" hidden here. If the other party's theft gang can sweep away this number of "Tao" in one net, leaving only one fish that slips through the net, it can only mean that the scale of this gang is even more amazing, requiring at least hundreds to a thousand people, but this is obviously unreasonable.

In a place where even the "Zodiac" cannot unite with each other, could someone organize a gang of thieves with hundreds of people?

No matter how the two of us discuss, we can't come to a conclusion. Perhaps the complexity of this place is far beyond our imagination.

"Fechner's Theorem" says that people have two ears but only one mouth, which means that people should listen more and talk less.

I am ready to wait quietly for annihilation, and then go to listen to what Aries says. He said "cooperation" instead of "utilization", which proves that his proposal is also good for me and Zhang Qiang.

I choose to believe in powerful people.

Although he chose to commit suicide in violation of the rules, I don't know why... I always feel that he will come back.

As I expected, when I opened my eyes in the room again, I saw three neatly arranged "Zodiac" in the room.

Except for me and Aries, everyone else looked surprised.

Aries seemed to have just calmed down. He took a deep breath and said softly, "Fortunately, I made it in time."

Before Zhang Qiang and I could speak, Aries became excited.

"Aries...you..."

"To make a long story short, I'm in a hurry." Aries interrupted anxiously, "Do you believe me now?"

"You...you..." Shar Pei also stared at Aries with an unbelievable expression, "You clearly violated the rules...what's going on?""So I say, sometimes you don't need to read what's written in the contract, but you have to use your brain."

Aries reached out and touched his mask, and found that even the muzzle of the gun on his temple was gone, so he was relieved and continued: "Let's cooperate, what we say here can't be monitored, because as you said, everyone who comes to the "interview room" cherishes their lives more than others, so no one dares to violate the rules. "

"But how did you find out?" Sheep said.

"I can't tell you." Aries decisively refused, "Human dog, sheep, let's talk business, are you interested in rebelling with me?"

After hearing this, Zhang Qiang and I felt our hearts tightened instantly. The situation seemed to be exactly the same as last time. We needed to quickly grasp our "memories".

Although Aries is powerful, every word he said is enough for Zhang Qiang and I to die ten thousand times.

We still didn't discuss it, and tried to get ourselves "echo" as soon as possible.

But this time, the feeling was strange. There was only one bell outside. I seemed to have found a subtle critical point. When I got the "echo", I could immediately cut off my thoughts and stop the swinging bell.

Aries treated Zhang Qiang and I as if we didn't exist from beginning to end, and just looked at the two "zodiac signs" with a pair of extremely cold eyes.

"Rebellion...?" Sheep was slightly stunned, "Rebellion means..."

"Everything in this place is a scam, even the paper on us... There is no truth. Rebellion means that we let "Tianlong" get down from that seat and become the master ourselves." Aries said, "Otherwise, you will regret missing this opportunity sooner or later."

"You..."

The Shar Pei and Sheep both widened their eyes instantly, and Zhang Qiang and I quickly lowered our heads.

Although we are not "zodiac signs", we also know that this is enough to kill us.

"Who do you want to get down..." Shar Pei asked in a trembling voice.

"Tianlong." Aries said, "Let's kill him."

After hearing this, the Shar Pei reached out and slowly pulled Aries, then turned to the sheep and said, "Something is wrong, go call for help!"
