Infinite weird games

In the Colosseum where Chang Xu was, the time came to the third day.

The players all got up early, pushed open the stone door of the room, and gathered on the high platform of the Colosseum.

Except for Chu Xun, Green, Dong Xiwen and Lena'an who looked radiant because they had enough food, the other players were all in a state of embarrassment.

The bodies of Chang Xu, Liu Yuhan, Qin Mu, and Nian Fu were covered with large areas of lime. Their necks, arms, and ankles were covered with traces of petrification, and their skin was hard and cold with the texture of marble.

The lack of food will whet the appetite, causing players to move closer to the stone statues, and the curse treats all creatures in the Colosseum equally.

He knew his physical condition well, and it only took two times of starvation in total to turn a person completely into stone under the influence of the curse.

They have experienced it once, and if it happens again, it will be a dead end.

"Two people are missing." Liu Yuhan raised her eyelids and looked at the crowd for a while, then said, "Fan Zhanwei and Lin Ye are not here."

Dong Xiwen scratched his head: "Something must have happened. There were no rat men coming out last night. How could they still be in such danger?"

"Let's go and have a look." Nian Fu shrugged nonchalantly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Those two guys are in relatively poor physical condition, and they might just starve to death."

The animal fighting game has not yet started, and the animals have not arrived yet. The players are walking towards Fan Zhanwei and Lin Ye's room in a sparse manner.

The stone door was tightly closed. Green clasped the door leaf with both hands, pulled it to both sides, opened a gap, squeezed half of his shoulders in, and used his elbow to exert force to the side, opening the door gap wide enough for one person to pass through. .

The players filed in and saw Lin Ye's body lying next to the straw bed at first sight.

Half of his body had turned into stone, and a blood hole penetrated his temple, with a congealed brown blood scab protruding from the edge, and yellow-white brain matter overflowing.

He opened his eyes in disbelief, obviously not expecting his own death, and the remaining resentment in his eyes showed his unwillingness.

Chu Xun knelt down, stretched out his index finger and touched the wound on his forehead, and made a judgment: "It was a gunshot wound, and it was the player who killed him."

Before the players enter the room, the stone door is tightly closed from the outside. If other uninvited guests break through the door before the players, it is impossible not to leave any traces.

The only person who would kill Lin Ye would be his teammate who shared a room with him, that is, Fan Zhanwei.

Lenaan looked around, but couldn't find the target at first, so he couldn't help but ask: "Where is Fan Zhanwei going? Did he abscond in fear of crime after killing his teammates?"

"He didn't escape." Chu Xun adjusted his glasses and said, "After Fan Zhanwei killed Lin Ye, he got all the points of his entire team and went to find the Sphinx to fulfill his wish."

He said, walking step by step towards the wall hanging the lion mask.

Only then did the players notice that an equally old and decaying stone statue stood in front of the gray and mottled wall. It was dim in color and almost blended in with the surrounding environment.

There are many strange rocks on the surface of the stone statue. The uneven stones are as high as an adult, and the outline is so rough that it is difficult to distinguish the human shape.

But combined with the cause and effect, the identity of the stone statue is easy to come out.

"Fan Zhanwei is dead." Chu Xun said with a sigh in his voice, "It seems that in this copy, the price of finding the Sphinx to fulfill your wish is to be completely petrified.

"He paid the price and got his wish."

But...what wish would you rather turn into a stone statue than come true?

Players have no answer.

The only person who knows the answer has been sealed in stone forever, silently.

It is undeniable that things have become troublesome. Originally, everyone only needed to let Chang Xu accumulate enough points and realize his wish to kill Qisi, and everyone would be able to pass the level.

But now they are told that fulfilling their wishes means sacrificing their own lives.

How could someone let themselves die just to kill someone?

Chang Xu looked at Fan Zhanwei's stone statue, also thinking and weighing.

He wanted to kill Zeiss because Zeiss had killed him and made him feel dangerous.

The survival instinct in his biological genes and his past experiences have made him accustomed to eliminating dangerous factors, and Zeiss is undoubtedly the largest and most difficult dangerous factor he has encountered since he can remember.

— would not only pose a threat to him, but also cause damage to the people and environment around him, causing him to lose everything he hoped to maintain.

But what if the situation came to a point where he had to trade his life for Zeiss' death?

Does he deserve to die with Zeiss to prevent him from coming back from the dead and killing more people?

"Let's just complete the original main mission and pass the level honestly." Chu Xun said with a wry smile, "The Sphinx's wish is like a temptation to drink poison to quench thirst. It will only bring bad consequences. Whether it can be truly realized is yet to be seen. .

"We don't have to think about it anymore. We can accumulate points according to the original process of the beast fighting game, decide the winner, meet the evil god, make a wish to become a god, and then come back to see other people, so that everyone can pass the level. "

The players responded one after another and returned to the venue of the beast fighting game.

I wonder if it is because the rat people were lifted from the curse by Zeiss and became a factor of instability, which made the players who were hostile to Zeiss have a united front value, and the goat's attitude towards everyone was much better.

He first announced with a smile that because of the deaths of Fan Zhanwei and Lin Ye, every player can get two pieces of food today.

Later, he distributed six game coins to each team and informed the players that today's game rules have not changed compared to yesterday.

Players entered the Glazed Tower as they did yesterday to exchange for points.

Although many players were slow to move because their bodies were partially petrified, they finally completed the levels in the tower with great effort and received rewards.

By the end of the day, almost everyone had accumulated 3,000 points, meeting the requirements for fulfilling their wishes.

But most players made it clear that they would never risk petrification to find the Sphinx to fulfill their wishes.

At the end of the day, no one chose food as a reward, and naturally there was no food distribution link.

Although Chu Xun and Green still led in points, thanks to the deaths of Fan Zhanwei and Lin Ye, everyone got enough food to survive the day.

The third day passed smoothly, the points ranking did not change much, and nothing special happened at night.

On the fourth day, Chu Xun disappeared unexpectedly.

Green held a notebook full of plans and pointed to the extra stone statue in the room.

No one thought that Chu Xun, like Fan Zhanwei, also had a wish that he would rather turn into a stone statue to fulfill.

"He succeeded." Green said, "He and I kept in touch for a while through props, and his wish really came true."

Chu Xun's wish was to save someone. That person was very important to him, and he entered the weird game just for that person.

He made up his mind to realize this wish at the beginning. After confirming that the situation would not change much in the future and that his analysis was no longer needed, he died with peace of mind.

Because of Chu Xun's death, each player got a portion of food, but there was still one missing, which needed to be obtained by completing the tower level.

Everyone knows that the food obtained through the tower should be distributed to the person with the highest points. If others give up the points reward and choose food, it is a pure loss.

But the points rankings of the remaining teams are very close. Even if the team with the highest points chooses food in one link and does not choose points as a reward, it will drop to second place.

Based on this, all players can only roll points crazily if they do not want to harm their own interests.

If no one provides food, it will inevitably lead to a lose-lose situation. After all, people will really die after their appetite is aroused.

Unless... kill one person in advance so that everyone can get another portion of food.

Green, who ranked first in the total points, and Qin Mu, who ranked second, reached an alliance and called on the players to put aside their grudges and each set aside a game coin to exchange for food, and the other game coins were freely distributed.

They repeatedly guaranteed that no matter who was responsible for the final distribution, it would be fair and just.

The players looked at Green's tendon meat and finally did not act on their own, but each of them chose a food reward.

Green also distributed the food equally to everyone as agreed.

The fourth day passed smoothly, and the audience became dissatisfied.

They wanted to see bloody and violent fighting and killing, not lifeless negotiations and peacemaking.

The goat had to make a promise that the game format would be modified to a certain extent the next day.

On the fifth day, the goat told the players that there must be a death before others can get food.

As compensation, as long as one person died, the food that others would get would no longer be one, but two.

The food reward in the Glazed Tower was cancelled, and Green chose action points as a reward, wanting to eat Nian Fu on the chessboard.

Fortunately, Nian Fu also got a lot of action points and barely avoided Green's pursuit.

The distance between the two on the chessboard was very close. Green pulled out a big knife from the prop column and chopped at Nian Fu's neck.

Nian Fu reacted very quickly and leaned back to avoid it. A long whip appeared in his hand and swung it at Green, entangled with his blade.

During the stalemate, Lennar quietly approached Green and pretended to attack.

A black light flashed, and Chang Xu blocked him with a broken blade and knocked his dagger away.

The melee was about to break out, but it was fleeting. The players were not sure of each other's trump cards. After the sneak attack failed, they returned to their positions.

At the end of the beast fighting game that day, no one died, and naturally no one got food.

Liu Yuhan used [Strange Talk Notes] to deduce the ending of this copy, and the result that emerged made her pale.

The notes said that if this continued, only two people could survive to the end.

These two people would naturally not be one of her and Chang Xu.

After all, Green, Dong Xiwen and Lennar had never experienced food shortages, so there was still a chance.

She, Chang Xu, Qin Mu and Nian Fu were all in a semi-petrified state, waiting for the second half of the night, or their appetites caused by hunger would be completely petrified.

The players returned to their respective rooms in a gloomy atmosphere.

In the room with a fox mask, Nian Fu held the pendant on her chest and said silently: "Sister, I will commit suicide later, so that there will be enough food."

She had the awareness of sacrificing herself since she joined the Libra, knowing that no matter how many lives, they were not as important as the safety of "that person".

She was a chess piece in the hands of "that person", and at the critical moment, she was willing to die for "that person"...

Nian Fu once again thought of her encounter with "that person". "That person" was not looking for her, she just appeared by chance as an accident, and was taken back by that person.

Just like feeding a kitten or puppy, a casual act of kindness may not leave a mark in the heart of the benefactor, but in the eyes of the beneficiary, it is the whole world.

Nian Fu wondered for no reason: "If I really died for her, would the weight I held in her heart be a little different? Would she remember me?"

Maybe not, because too many people have sacrificed; maybe, because death is too heavy - who knows?

Time passed by, and Nian Fu raised her eyes to look at the mural on the ceiling, feeling the light dimming inch by inch until the specific strokes were blurred, making it impossible for her to see the details of the mural clearly.

She dilated her pupils and murmured softly: "I am suddenly so scared. What does death feel like? Sister, do you think it will be very painful..."

"Nian Fu, don't die." The voice in the pendant was as gentle as when we first met, "If you live, nothing will happen to you or me."

…

Under the black wolf mask, Chang Xu opened his eyes in the darkness and had long forgotten what he had dreamed about.

Hunger overwhelmed him like a tide, and his stomach twitched and tightened, causing severe pain.

Chang Xu could feel that his body was becoming stiffer inch by inch, and the lime was spreading all over his body, swallowing him up completely at any time.

There was a rustling sound beside her. Liu Yuhan sat up from the bed and lit a lamp. Her face was paler than white paper.

Traces of petrification crawled up to her chin. She put her [Monster Notes] on the floor with stiff hands and said very quickly: "I have written all the possible subsequent situations and various plans on it. You must survive." Go down, as long as you are still alive, [Dark Judge] will continue to take effect. Even if Qiss survives this copy, it will not help..."

This was completely the tone of his last words. Chang Xu frowned slightly: "What do you want to do?"

What do you want to do? What to do?

Countless voices asked questions in Liu Yuhan's mind, coming from the companions she had met in the past and followed her.

As a well-known theoretical and intellectual player in the forum, she often publishes dungeon strategies and makes certain conclusions, which are pursued and believed by other players like life-saving straws.

In reality and in the copy, those who follow her are willing to believe in her decision and execute it with full hope.

But after all, she is not a god, or even just a mediocre person who works hard. She will make mistakes and be negligent. Every decision-making mistake means the price of blood, which weighs heavily on her.

The familiar faces gradually disappeared, and she ended up alone.

This time, she didn't want to see her companions die in front of her.

"Only one person needs to die, and everyone will have food." Liu Yuhan opened her lips and showed a smile.

She formed a dagger in her hand and stabbed it into her heart, just like using wooden wedges to nail the limbs to a cross-like execution platform during the trial of heretics.

In an instant, blood burst out in front of his chest, and the extremely gorgeous blood flower quietly bloomed, its petals scattered, and slowly flowed down like red tears.

Qisi's words asking her about her desires were still in her ears. It was only at this moment that she finally understood that she was not living to kill people.

She wants to save people and let those who deserve to live live better...

Liu Yuhan's smile was relieved and bright: "I should have died long ago. Even if I don't die now, he will kill me when I leave the dungeon."

No one knew what Zeiss's plan was, so they could only assume the worst-case scenario that he would eventually be resurrected.

Once he is resurrected, all early efforts will be in vain, and the outcome waiting for the rebel is either death or deeper control.

"I died in the copy of "Hopeless Sea" a long time ago. I became a walking zombie with a manipulated soul, collaborating with others and lingering. I shouldn't be like this..."

Liu Yuhan thought of her childhood when her father put a pen into her hand and said awkwardly to her: "Yuhan, you have to study, understand the truth, and be an upright and kind person."

She thought that she had also had thoughts of depravity in hardships, but she could always restrain herself with morality and keep her true heart amidst temptations.

At that time, she thought, she wanted to stand in the sun. She should be as bright as flowers, how could she be as humble as a gnat?

She did not want to die easily, but it was not that she was afraid of death, but that she was unwilling to annihilate silence silently.

So what if you are alive? Everything she loved and loved her had left her, and she had no nostalgia for this world.

It's just that after finally climbing into the light, even if I die, I have to light a living bonfire...

At least at this moment, she still has the freedom to choose who she will die for.

The blood was slowly draining, but death was still early. Liu Yuhan saw Chang Xu's pupils dilating and shrinking, as if he had made some decision or had some enlightenment.

Then, she saw Chang Xu squatting down in front of her and saying word by word: "Liu Yuhan, don't die, live on. I know how to clear the level." (End of Chapter)
