Cook in full swing in an escape game

Chapter 56 The Mystery of the Platform Part 2

Mumu Restaurant was successfully launched on the mall. As a partner, Qian Ying was very helpful, and put up a big screen advertisement with great fanfare. Lane, on the first day of going online, Lin Sheng was blinded by the non-stop beating turnover.

Looking at the constantly jumping balance numbers, Lin Sheng suddenly remembered a sentence, saying that workers exchange time for money, while capitalists use money to make money. In an instant, Lin Sheng felt that he did not need to work hard for the rest of his life. The trance feeling that counting money is enough.

However, this is just... the game currency, Lin Sheng shook his head, not letting himself indulge in virtual bubbles.

Without returning to reality, everything is meaningless.

Lin Sheng recalled asking Qian Ying which side she was on. Naturally, Qian Ying did not answer the question of her position. Such a reaction was in line with her usual style of doing things. However, whenever Lin Sheng recalled her paradoxical With a smile, a far-fetched thought always pops up in my mind——

Perhaps, Qian Ying is not on either side.

A few days later, the three of Dai Yi came back from the dungeon smoothly. Lin Sheng now has a lot of money, so he simply bought a holiday villa for them to relax. In addition, he also planned to use this place as their base to use.

Du Ming was originally disheveled, but when he saw Lin Sheng and the novelty big villa behind him, Du Ming's eyes lit up immediately, he rushed towards Lin Sheng, and couldn't wait to tell him what happened in the dungeon .

"Lin Sheng, you don't even know, it's too thrilling, I almost won't be able to come back."

Du Ming was lying under the sun umbrella, drinking watermelon juice through a straw, while telling Lin Sheng about the thrilling experience in the dungeon.

"We drove all the way to remote places, and when we arrived at No. 15 days, a village suddenly appeared beside the road."

"The people in that village put nails on the road in advance, our tires were punctured, and we had to stop."

"There are not many people left in the village. A few men blocked our way with sticks. Zheng Yuzhe proposed to give them some food to save their money and safety. Who knows that those people are cruel and merciless, so they have been ambushed by others , The man had a gun in his hand, and he shot me."

shot?

Lin Sheng was terrified when he heard that, he looked Du Ming from head to toe, "Then are you injured?"

Du Ming shook his head, seeing that he didn't seem to be mentally injured, he sighed again, and took out a notebook from his bag while getting up.

Lin Sheng felt familiar when he saw the cover of the notebook. He remembered that when he was at the Antarctic scientific research station, Du Ming always wrote and drew in the notebook...

Du Ming felt a little sentimental. He stretched out his hand to caress the cover of the notebook, and then turned the notebook to the back.

Lin Sheng was taken aback, only to see a bullet hole on the back of the notebook!

"It's what protected me." Du Ming murmured, "At first I was also puzzled, how could an ordinary notepad be able to withstand the attack of bullets, but after I opened it, I immediately understood."

Du Ming turned to the last page of the notepad. Lin Sheng looked over and saw a scorched bullet hole on the snow-white page. Other than that, there was nothing else.

"Do you still remember?" Du Ming said to Lin Sheng, "I wrote Qu Ying's name on it before leaving the dungeon in the basement of the Antarctic scientific research station."

"I have kept this habit since then." Du Ming held the notebook with a sad expression on his face, "Before I met the three of you, this notebook has already recorded the names of six or seven people..."

Of course, Lin Sheng remembered that Du Ming valued love and righteousness, and that Qu Ying's sister died unjustly. He felt very sad, so he wrote her name in his notebook and remembered it forever. there is none left.

Lin Sheng paused after hearing the words, and immediately understood Du Ming's meaning.

"You mean, they protected you?"

The dead teammates blocked a bullet for Du Ming, and then their names disappeared.

Du Ming nodded, "After much deliberation, this is the only explanation I can make."

Zheng Yuzhe has been listening by the side, this matter is too unbelievable, he and Dai Yi did not understand the reason, at this moment he couldn't help but sigh, "The former teammates just met by chance, they probably didn't expect that you will always remember Look at yourself, maybe this is their reward for you."

Everyone sighed, along the way, who has never experienced life and death, "Sky Curtain" is like a sharp knife hanging above the head, no matter how happy and comfortable it is now, it is still at stake.

The silent Dai Yi suddenly said: "I used to think that when a person dies, everything is gone, but now it seems that it is not entirely true."

The four of them were silent for a while, Dai Yi was right, death does not mean that everything is lost, because in a sense, they themselves have "died" once, but now they are sitting in the courtyard of the villa Eat, drink, and drink... Thinking of this, Lin Sheng put down the barbecue from his hands.

Thinking that he was still trapped in the virtual world, his mouth suddenly lost taste, like chewing wax.

Although he achieved financial freedom in "Sky Curtain", Lin Sheng's desire to return to reality has never been shaken. If there is a mistake, no matter how much wealth is accumulated in the account, it will not help.

Dai Yi said that although a person dies, there is nothing left. Lin Sheng couldn't help thinking that on the other side of the starry sky, in the distant real world, relatives and friends are probably also remembering his own passing. How will they react when they are miraculously "resurrected"?

Under the quiet starry sky presented by the binary algorithm, Lin Sheng told the other three people his future plans for the first time.

"...The last meeting between Qian Ying and I was like this. If there is no accident, we can go back to reality after going through the nightmare dungeon again."

When he heard that he could go home, Zheng Yuzhe rejoiced, "I can finally leave this horror game!"

Zheng Yuzhe, who is so afraid of ghosts, can't wait to enter the nightmare dungeon tomorrow, but this matter can't be rushed. According to Lin Sheng's plan, they have to make full preparations for this final battle.

"Brother, do you still watch horror movies after you go back?" Du Ming asked.

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, if he can really go back, Zheng Yuzhe will definitely cherish his ordinary but safe life even more. He patted Du Ming on the head with a smile, "You stinky boy."

The atmosphere relaxed for a moment. Seeing the two fighting, Lin Sheng smiled for a long time. Although this world is fake, his friends are all real.

"Tomorrow, let's go to the black market to shop for goods!" Hearing that Lin Sheng is making a lot of money every day, Zheng Yuzhe boldly said: "Let's bring all the props we can buy, I don't believe it, this nightmare dungeon... ..”

Du Ming immediately stopped Zheng Yuzhe's "rhetoric words", "Brother! You can't set the FLAG!"

Lin Sheng noticed that Dai Yi hadn't participated in their discussion about the nightmare dungeon, and Dai Yi didn't seem very interested in returning to reality.

"Dai Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Dai Yi's eyes fell on the prickly pear, which Lin Sheng brought from his last residence.

"I don't have anything, it's just..., if you are going to the nightmare dungeon, then we will have different paths in the future."

Lin Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and the laughing two beside him also fell silent after hearing this.

Zheng Yuzhe: "Different paths? What do you mean, don't you want to go back?!"

Under the stunned gazes of the three, Dai Yi nodded, "I never told you about my past, since we are going to part ways after tonight, you should just listen..."

It turned out that Dai Yi was just an ordinary player before becoming the codename "D" on the leaderboard. At that time, he and his teammates struggled in the game and gradually found some experience and tricks. Like Lin Sheng and the others, they want to return to the real world wholeheartedly.

However, when entering a dungeon with a desert background, Dai Yi's teammate died unfortunately.The two of them persisted in the barren desert for more than a month, during which they lived on the naturally growing cacti.

They relied on and encouraged each other in despair, but Dai Yi's teammate died the day before the game was cleared.

As for the details of what happened that day, Dai Yi is no longer willing to mention it.

"That's it."

All three people present could feel the turbulent emotions contained in Dai Yi's short words. Lin Sheng looked at those ancient and calm eyes, and suddenly understood a lot about him.

"Nightmare dungeons are very difficult and require players to have a firm will, but I... I have no motivation to go back." Dai Yi put his fingers into the cactus pot, feeling the humidity of the soil, Lin Sheng saw that a faint smile suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Dai Yi chuckled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I'm worried, and I don't know if the souls of people who died in the real world and those who died in the game go to the same place..."

Although Lin Sheng was very surprised by Dai Yi's choice, he still decided to respect his wishes. At the same time, this incident also made him realize that not everyone is willing to leave "Sky Curtain" and return to reality.

In order to prepare in advance, Lin Sheng and the other two started buying props. It has to be said that the difficulties of being poor and those of being rich, faced with the dazzling variety of commodities on the black market, the three of them did not know what to buy for a while. something.

"I bought all the ones that can be used to improve the basic attributes. I can only bring one more item at most." Zheng Yuzhe has been confused for a long time, but it is a pity that the space is limited, otherwise he would have moved the entire black market there.

No one thought that Sharp, who only knew how to play with orange cats, would come in handy at this time. Perhaps it was because Sharp himself was a dungeon boss. The lies made up by the black-hearted merchants, under Sharp's suggestion, except for the basic booster props, the three of them each picked one to bring with them.

After returning to the residence, the three of them got together to discuss tomorrow's arrangements. Lin Sheng released the orange cat to play with Sharp, but Sharp's interest tonight was all on them.

Seeing a few people going out for a big purchase, Sharp shook Lin Sheng's sleeve and asked curiously:

"Lin Sheng Lin Sheng, where are you going? Are you going out to play? Will you take me with you?"

Lin Sheng had a problem. What they were going to was the nightmare dungeon. If they cleared the level successfully, they would return to reality. However, Sharp was originally a character in "Sky Screen". Lin Sheng didn't know if he could go to the real world with him, but If you fail to pass the level, you will face an unknown punishment. No matter how you think about it, bringing Sharp is not a good choice.

"You don't go, Sharp, you stay here."

Lin Sheng copied some of the functions of the recipes with the duplication props. In the future, even if others are not on the "platform", the restaurant's business will not be affected. As for Sharp...

When he returned to the "platform" last time, Lin Sheng had actually established a trust account for Sharp. Even if something happened to him, the money was enough for Sharp to spend his life in "Sky Curtain" safely.

Sharp didn't know this, and he was obviously very disappointed with Lin Sheng's decision to "go out to play" without bringing himself.

The three continued to discuss the matter of returning to reality, while Sharp turned his back to be with the orange cat. The three of them said so, but they didn't deliberately avoid Sharp. You can't understand what "returning to reality" means, right?

You are talking to me here, and no one noticed when Sharp came over.

"What do you mean by back to reality?"

Zheng Yuzhe turned around and took Sharpa into his arms, just about to give him an easy-to-understand explanation, when Sharp continued:

"Aren't we in reality now?"

The three choked together. For Sharp, this is indeed his "real world".

What Sharpe said next, however, came as a surprise.

"I know who Qian Ying and Zhou Muchen you are talking about."

Zhou Muchen participated in the copy of Happy Children's Channel. It's not surprising that Sharp recognized him. The strange thing is how could Sharp know Qian Ying?

Hearing their question, Sharp broke away from Zheng Yuzhe, threw himself into Lin Sheng's arms, smiled and said, "Qian Ying is the same as Lin Sheng."

Lin Sheng was taken aback for a moment: "How are we the same?"

"You are all very good, you brought me here, and she brought Zhou Muchen here."

The child's words are unscrupulous, but one stone stirs up thousands of waves.

"What do you mean? Zhou Muchen was brought to the 'platform' by Qian Ying? Could it be that he is also the boss in the dungeon???" Zheng Yuzhe was surprised.

Lin Sheng held Sharp's shoulders with both hands, and he looked straight into the other's eyes, the little boy's eyes were crystal clear.

Lin Sheng said seriously: "So, is Zhou Muchen the NPC or BOSS in the dungeon? Sharp, please answer me seriously."

Zhou Muchen's identity was not an important issue, but because Qian Ying was involved, Lin Sheng thought it was necessary for him to clarify this matter.

If Zhou Muchen's identity is an NPC or a BOSS, then why did he become a player again?

If he is not, then based on the experience of dealing with the white whale last time, Lin Sheng deduces that Qian Ying should have used the black box to pull Zhou Muchen out of the dungeon, but why?What is the relationship between them?These two are the first and second on the richest list respectively. It is no exaggeration to say that if the two join hands, they will completely control the economic lifeline of "Sky Curtain". Could this be a coincidence?

Facing Lin Sheng's question, Sharp thought about it carefully, and then said something even more puzzling:

"He's not, the copy he was originally in didn't have NPC and BOSS."

The author says:

I have to say that being ridiculed for ugly writing and being misinterpreted as misogynistic has had a greater impact on me than I imagined. During this period of time, I turned on the computer countless times, but unfortunately my mind went blank, as if I had completely lost In order to express my desire, it is finally better now, thanks to all those who have encouraged me, now I just want to complete this story according to my heart, and update it irregularly.
