Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1384: There is nothing in the room
Even if everyone knew that venting their anger on the masked volunteer would have no effect, as soon as he finished speaking, a man rushed out from behind Lin Sanjiu and shouted at him: "It turns out it was you who did the good deed!"
She looked back and hurriedly reached out to stop Nuyue - the masked volunteer took two hurried steps back, coughed and said, "I have no choice but to do it...you can't attack the volunteers."
"Welcome to this new game conference!"
A cheerful female voice suddenly froze everyone in the room.
When Lin Sanjiu looked up, she realized that the original projection content on the wall had changed. It turned out that the projector also had a sound-producing device; a fresh-colored, chubby cartoon character bounced on the wall and said with a smile: "This game is very interesting, I think everyone will like it. ”
A cartoon elephant slowly walks into the frame. It has a pair of small black eyes and round ears, which can even be called a bit cute - as long as you don't look at the dense human eyes all over its body.
"After the press conference is over, please go in that direction,"
The little cartoon girl waved her hand, and everyone turned their attention to the door that appeared at the other end of the room. Ji Shanqing looked at it and said "Huh?" slightly from his nose, which happened to be heard by Lin Sanjiu.
"Go out of that door and enter the room where the game venue is. When the game starts, everyone must arrive. If you have any questions, you can consult the on-site volunteers."
The volunteer, now far away, nodded.
"After entering the game room, everyone will find a row of backpacks on the ground." The little cartoon girl turned around, revealing the schoolbags on her back, and said: "Each backpack represents a job, please Each of you choose one. You must continue to do the corresponding 'work' in order to maintain your survival state... If you don't work for three consecutive days, you will usher in true physical death."
Even though they looked ugly, everyone was still listening without saying a word.
"The goal of the game is that you have to successfully find the exit and leave the room." The cartoon girl turned back, raised a finger, and said as a warning: "Be careful, when you are in the room, your ability or force are not the same. It's not always effective. If you provoke a counterattack, you will suffer irresistible physical damage in the room."
Who will fight back? Physical harm from whom?
Lin Sanjiu always felt that something was missing from the cartoon girl’s explanation, and she probably had to continue listening to understand it completely. She looked closely at the projection on the wall, but unexpectedly saw the cartoon girl bow and smile. He said: "Then, the game conference is over. The game will start in one minute. Please rush to the game venue."
While she was stunned, someone blurted out: "What? That's it?"
"Strange," Han Suiping also murmured and asked, "What is the role of the elephant?"
Nv Yue was still angry just now, and now her anger increased a few inches. She asked the masked volunteer: "Does this new game conference only have so much information? We just have to go into that room and work with our backpacks. , just find the exit and leave?"
"Don't waste time, otherwise you will be punished." The masked volunteer raised his hand as if directing traffic, gesturing for everyone to speed up and go to that door, "I can only tell you, whether it is stated explicitly or implicitly , in fact, all the main rules of the game have been included in the new game launch conference."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at the gift bag subconsciously - his brows were frowning tightly.
"As far as I know, there will also be text prompts to a certain extent in this game room to help you adapt to the game as quickly as possible... Okay, it's time to go in quickly." The masked volunteer said as he opened the door for them .
The door was just an ordinary iron door, and there was nothing surprising about it. However, as soon as Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on the door, she couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh?" with mixed surprise and suspicion.
In the room, there is a gray elephant standing.
It's not a cartoon character anymore. Whether it's the faded spots and fine wrinkles on the skin, the long trunk swinging in mid-air, or the dozens of cattail ears... it all shows that this is a real Asian elephant - except for it Except for the densely packed eyes all over the body.
"What... what is this?" Nuyue exclaimed as she followed everyone into the room, "Why is it so disgusting..."
The gray elephant's skin has holes one after another, and there are hundreds of human eyeballs in the holes. They were all bare with no eyelashes, only black and white eyes; some were turning up to look at the ceiling, and some were hanging down to look at the ground. When they saw people walking in, they all turned around and stared at them.
...Nv Yue is right, it is indeed disgusting.
The height of this room is only about three meters. When the elephant paced slowly in the room, its back almost touched the ceiling. Because there was an elephant in the middle, it was hard for Lin Sanjiu to judge how big the room was. But when a group of eight people poured into the room, she felt as if everyone was occupied everywhere. There isn't even much space left for movement.
"I wish you good luck," the masked volunteer said with his head at the door, and before anyone could react, he closed the door with a "dang" - and as soon as the iron door closed, it disappeared from the wall. There was no shadow, as if it had never existed. Only his voice faintly echoed: "Everyone is here, the game officially begins!"
Someone took a breath and said in a low voice: "Is this...is this going to start?"
Since most of the field of view was occupied by the elephant; after a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu finally realized that there might be a prompt text there until she saw other people stretching their necks to look behind the elephant.
The reed painting closest to the wall, as the only one who could read the text clearly, was telling everyone loudly: "In the next three minutes, we have to choose our backpacks. The backpacks are placed on the floor against the wall. It’s on... Do you see where the backpack is?”
Horst knelt down, glanced through the elephant's legs, and replied loudly: "I saw it, at the other end of the room, it happened to be——"
"Shut up!"
Sbaan suddenly shouted angrily and cut off his voice immediately. Hoster was startled and stood up inexplicably, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't know whether he should ask or not - the room suddenly became quiet, except for the elephant's heavy footsteps, which made the floor tremble slightly.
"There are only eight of us here," Ji Shanqing said in a deep voice, his voice clear and clear without any fluctuation, "Do you understand?"
Everyone looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces, but no one said anything.
"Yes," Sparan responded, "Look, we are in the same room now."
And there is an elephant in this room... This seems to be the second half of his sentence that he didn't finish.
Lin Sanjiu slowly came back to her senses.
In the entire game conference just now, the little cartoon girl didn't mention the elephant next to her at all, acting as if it didn't exist. Now think about it again, isn’t the saying “elephant in the room” a metaphor for an obvious problem that is collectively ignored? There were no rules put into words at the game press conference, presumably "don't discuss the elephant in the room", right?
So, the missing piece in the little girl's explanation just now should be the elephant - if we use force against the elephant, it will cause them to fight back and hurt them that they can't resist, right? Fortunately, Nuyue's comment just now was made before the game started, otherwise...
"I understand~IndoMTL.com~ Han Suiping said in a low voice, "Then let's... go and get the backpack now? ”
That’s what you say, but it’s not easy to do. The elephant with human eyes all over its body happened to slowly walk towards the wall where the backpacks were placed, firmly blocking it; everyone quickly gathered towards the empty space at the other end and bent down to look away. He glanced around the ground.
Although some were blocked by elephant legs, a row of backpacks could still be seen neatly lined up under the wall. A timer hanging on the wall nearby showed that they had two minutes left.
"Let me hook up the backpack," Lin Sanjiu turned to everyone in the middle of the sentence, and quickly added: "If you are too lazy to walk over and get it."
Nv Yue stared behind her and suddenly let out a low exclamation.
Lin Sanjiu turned around hastily and realized that while she was speaking, the elephant stopped in front of a backpack. It used its proboscis to open the lid of the bag, stirred inside a few times, then rolled up the entire bag and put it into its mouth, chewed it a few times, and finally ate it.
...Now, eight people only have seven backpacks.
