Chapter 18.3 - Holy city
As for resistance… In itself, there is a contradiction between these pa.s.sive and saboteurs 1a person who engages in sabotage and those who were actively trying to survive. In addition, the Holy City disposes these ‘waste’ taskers through the dungeon quests. It can only be said that this is the end of the troubled waters.
It was worth mentioning that the [Copy Thread Contribution Rate] at the back of the copy log was recently developed by the system, and it was only implanted in the personal panel not long ago.
If the taskers in the ‘Send to Prison’ dungeon checked it out, they would find that most of the [Dungeon Clue Contribution Rate] in their personal panel are lower than 3%. And some had higher, more than 85%, but in their history, the harvest reward points were shared with others more than 3 times in a row.
For example, Lin Cheng and Chen Chengen.
The Holy City can reward hard-working taskers but there is no need for an ‘all-round nanny’, especially this kind of all-round nanny who was very good at raising giant babies. They will make all children lazy and bad.
As for Chen Chengen and the others, Xiang Nu didn’t worry even more when he knew that they wouldn’t die. As they were kind of ‘Slaves’, they should be 007 2here it meant to work in a bada.s.s way to go to work. Anyway, don’t even think about being lazy.
However, Xiangnu still had some doubts, because there was a third category of people in the last dungeon. For example, newcomers like Xiangnu who didn’t know how the Holy City judged the ‘Innocent Newcomers’ like him and why will they be stuffed into this kind of copy. Is it because he is disabled, so the copy thinks that he may be useless?
Xiangnu couldn’t figure it out, thinking that if he could meet Yu Su again in the future, he could ask him.
Thinking of Yu Su, Xiang Nu’s heart could not help but tremble slightly.
Looking back, when he read the fourth page in the diary of the flight attendant, he saw the flight attendant mentioned his colleague… Did he mean Yu Su?
It should be. Wasn’t it just me who was let go in that mission? The person who let me go is Yu Su. Xiangnu thought in a daze and turned to the list of taskers on the next page. Except for Xiangnu’s name in the list, all of them were greyed out. They were not dead, but they were all regarded as failures in customs clearance.
And among them… there was no Yu Su’s name.
Xiangnu sighed softly, not surprised.
He felt that something was wrong with Yu Su long before, from the beating frequency of Yu Su’s heart at the beginning, to his uniform and clothes that were obviously different from ordinary people.
But these could all be explained by other reasons. For example, didn’t Feng Hejia come up with the term ‘monsterization’ later, and Yu Su might also be the tasker who chose monsterization?
As for the uniform that was covered with all kinds of decorative epaulettes, it may be his hobby. Xiangnu was also carrying a backpack with mineral water.
As for the unhappiness after seeing the tasker in carriage 7 being swallowed by the monster… that may also be the reason for his temperament, not necessarily angry about that incident.
It was also possible that he discovered the mechanism when he opened a secret pa.s.sage in the bathroom to bring Xiangnu into the cab. When Xiangnu used this excuse to fool Chen Chengen, Yu Su did not refute it.
When on the train, Xiangnu always silently found reasons for Yu Su’s abnormality in the bottom of his heart, even if Yu Su did not hide it and was about to tell Xiangnu that he was not a human being but Xiangnu always pretended to be stupid.
It’s not that Xiangnu was too old-fashioned, he could accept Fenghe Jia as a monsterized tasker and had no dislike for her existence. But the monster taskers who have changed from a human to a monster and still have human nature are different from a real ghost.
Xiangnu also dared not to think deeply about it after the mission was over. On the train, he was afraid that after he thought deeply and showed a little abnormality, Yu Su would directly tear the weak mask, completely turn his face in front of him, and Xiangnu had to stay in that copy forever.
Yu Su sometimes felt very, very dangerous to him, Xiangnu respected him, but also liked him.
In all fairness, the copy of ‘sent to prison’ is not difficult.
If there was no Yu Su’s presence, Xiang Nu could also open the cab through the dungeon rules and the pa.s.sword of the screening door, and obtain a notebook and a life jacket.
Although the number of life jackets was very small, there was a notebook, so everyone could pa.s.s the customs directly. It’s just that after 1 million life points are equally divided among more than 300 people, one person would have more than 3,000, and to cure his eyes, those points will not be enough.
Without Yu Su, Xiangnu’s appearance and his novice experience couldn’t convince everyone, and after the second stop, the No. 4 car would be destroyed, and the No. 1 car would be invaded by monsters.
Without Yu Su’s protection, Xiangnu would have to go through at least two random inspections of the carriages to find out the rules. By the time he found out the rules of the random inspections, the No. 1 carriage would have been occupied, and first-timers like him would be the first to be caught in the chaos and pushed out to block other’s guns.
Therefore, Yu Su’s existence was very important to Xiang Nu.
Other taskers only have two endings: being a slave under the warden or dying, but Xiangnu had an additional option to restore his freedom. In the end, Xiangnu was indeed escorted by Yu Su to clear the mission.
Xiang Slave’s feelings towards Yu Su were quite complicated. Generally speaking, his favour towards Yu Su was greater than his fear but after the two were balanced, there was no such thing that could make Xiangnu abandon those fears caused by different races and strength levels.
Yu Su said that he would come back to look for him after he cleared the customs, but he did not have the contact information of Xiangnu and did not know how Yu Su was going to find him.
Actually, it’s not bad if You Su couldn’t find him, Xiangnu still didn’t know what kind of monster Yu Su was, and whether he was ugly to look at.
The beautiful young man sat on the sofa for a while before getting up and wandering around the room.
He never thought that he would see the world with his own eyes. Anything could fill him with curiosity.
The living room was very big, and the floor was covered with a thick grey-blue woollen blanket. Xiang Nu looked down at his shoes that were not very clean, felt extremely uncomfortable and hated himself for not taking his shoes off before taking a step into the house.
Xiang Nu quickly took off the shoes on his feet, stepped on the soft and dense blanket with his bare white feet, walked to the door and put the shoes into the cabinet.
There was a turquoise gla.s.s vase on the cabinet. When Xiangnu raised his head, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of his blurred reflection.
The red mole in the palm of his hand gradually heated up and became hot. Xiangnu opened his hand in a daze, and quickly reached out and tapped on the red mole. Then he was surprised to find that the green panel had turned red, and the small human avatar in the contact column had turned into a large exclamation point that kept pulsating.
There was a thump in Xiangnu’s heart as if his heart was jumping out of his chest and his ears started ringing loudly.
The young man couldn’t help biting his index finger, tilted his head and frowned at the screen. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly clicked on the exclamation mark with trembling hands.
The screen jumped, and the message sent to Xiangnu was an avatar with an exclamation mark in a triangle, and the nickname next to it also displayed ‘? ? ? ’, just looking at this style of painting gave people a very unfriendly feeling.
? ? ?: Baby, I’m right outside your door, open the door for me.
Xiangnu became sluggish after seeing it. Was this Yu Su? Was this really Yusu?
Why does the colour of his chat page feel so creepy?
Xiangnu was tangled to death. Normally, Xiangnu felt that Yu Su would not harm him, but Xiangnu felt that Yu Su was abnormal sometimes like this time. In addition, his ghost ident.i.ty was there, and he was afraid and hesitant.
Xiangnu hesitated, but his hand trembled towards the door handle, but he never pressed it.
? ? ?: Why don’t you open the door for me, do you regret it?
Xiangnu took advantage of the situation to withdraw the hand that was about to open the door, his beautiful face was full of solemnity, he could not type in ‘pinyin’, so he replied by handwriting, word by word but halfway through, ‘? ? ?’ Messaged again.
? ? ?: Are you regretting now? Were you using me before?
? ? ?: I will be very angry.
Xiang Nu slowly swept through the messages, no longer wrote a long sentence slowly, and sent the already written words directly.
Slave: You wait!
Slave: Wait a minute!
? ? ?:?
Xiangnu: I write slowly, you let me answer slowly.
? ? ?: No, just open the door for me.
Xiangnu was desperate, nervous and scared. ‘What should I do?’
? ? ?:That…
Xiangnu watched his new message closely and his breathing almost stopped.
? ? ?: I’m in.
‘But I didn’t open the door?’ Xiang Nu looked at the doork.n.o.b and thought dizzily, his eyes gradually moved down and landed on the crack of the door.
Black shadows spilt in through the gaps, eroding the silver-grey thresholds and brick-red floors like ink.
‘What are you doing in such a hurry? Mr, let me have a few minutes to calm down!’
Xiangnu wanted to cry but had no tears, so he immediately raised his head, exited the ‘Delivery to Prison’ log with trembling hands, returned to the directory page, and clicked the grey b.u.t.ton.
on the second line, select ‘Yes’ on the pop-up window that popped up.
‘As if being forced into a closed and narrow box’ swept Xiangnu again. At the same time, the black shadow instantly rose from the ground and tightly clasped Xiangnu’s ankle.
Before Xiangnu did anything, the surrounding environment changed. From the gorgeous living room with a strong modern style, he appeared on a very desolate half-waisted mountain.
Xiang Nu glanced around vigilantly, and half squatted down to check his ankles, only to see a layer of indescribable but a weird and beautiful pattern that was caught by the shadow just now, reflecting on his eyes. On his white-skinned ankles, the pattern looked both wicked and treacherous but could not hide its beauty.
Xiangnu pursed his lips and was secretly annoyed, but things didn’t stop. Xiangnu’s left palm felt hot again. He opened his palm in disbelief. The blood-red screen was even more dazzling and evil in this desolate wild background.
? ? ?: We agreed…if you hide from me and reject me, I will be very angry.
? ? ?: You can’t escape.
The blood-red screen suddenly collapsed and disappeared. The beautiful young man’s eyes widened and he kept poking at the mole on his palm with his fingers, but there was no response at all, and he was angry to death.
The personal panel can’t be opened in the copy? It turned out that he couldn’t open it unilaterally, but others could?!
