Chapter 761
Silent Tao Yi
Reality, a regional center in an unknown province and city.
This was originally a prosperous commercial area, where many players lived, but gradually, for some reason, the players here died one after another. They died silently, as if they had inhaled some fatal and hard-to-detect poison gas.
Soon the whole area returned to silence, and when no one paid attention, a grand space merger quietly opened the curtain. After all spaces merged into one, this area became lively again.
It's just that the heat brought here is no longer the players in the 【Faith Game】, but strips, plants, clusters of... it.
Just like the giant skyscraper tightly wrapped by "Boston ivy" in a corner of this area, looking from a distance, the abandoned high-rise seems to have been occupied by plants, turning this place into a paradise for them to grow wantonly. But only by observing at close range can one find that the densely entangled things on the surface of the building seem not to be plants, but more like clusters of tangled, coiled... tentacles!
They are alive, and they are wriggling!
Not only that, various distorted and hoarse voices occasionally came from the pile of tentacles, mostly like unconscious murmurs, but listening to them in human ears, they were clearly whispers from the abyss!
These whispers should have made people afraid. Not bad, it is people. There are people in this building, but at this very moment, these people huddled together didn't show excessive fear, but looked around with solemn faces, guarding against the approach of these tentacles.
Once a "branch" spread over, someone would grit their teeth and take a step forward, ignoring the endless murmurs and whispers, and launch an attack, blasting these small tentacles back from far away.
And after they completed this round of defense, they would be pulled back into the "position" by others with ropes and straps for debridement surgery.
As for what this so-called trauma is...
I saw a female player in the position flipping a knife flower, accurately piercing the "pus bag" on the back of a male player under her, and then another player with a solemn face quickly nailed the tentacle that spilled from the pus bag to the ground.
Just like that, a simple "debridement surgery" was completed.
But not everyone is so lucky. There are individual players whose bodies are covered with "pus sores," and in the process of removing these weird "newborns," they don't all "obediently" fall out. Some newborns that grow too fast clearly have the instinct to survive. They will burrow into the "mother's" body to seek shelter the moment they are attacked, but they don't realize at all that this behavior, besides killing their "mother," has no use, and will even attract more fierce attacks from the outside world.
So in a big fire to eliminate future troubles, the faces of the people in the position became even uglier.
"Count the casualties, scouts alternate, priests start treatment, the second shield row moves forward, singers fill up the state, free players pay attention to checking the array eyes, wounded soldiers take time to rest."
Instructions were issued in an orderly manner from the mouth of the golden-haired and golden-eyed man in the middle of the array. All the players around flew into action after hearing these instructions.
Not long after, the hunters who were alert and on guard at the outermost periphery completed the rotation. The light of healing rose and fell in the position. The mages in the second row stood behind the first row of hunters to take a nap. They also had ropes on their bodies. It looked like the wave of wounded soldiers who had just retreated. They were reserves who needed to "go to battle." Several singers sang harmonious tunes at the same time, and holy light of different colors was sprinkled on everyone's heads again and again.
Everything looked orderly, like a strong army capable of fighting, except... the lady who checked the array eyes was tightly dragged by the array eyes and couldn't walk no matter what.
So she had to shout helplessly: "The array eye is intact, but I am not very good. Can anyone come to save me?"
The faces of the people around turned black, and they turned their bodies away, pretending not to hear. Even the player who was commanding in the middle ignored the content behind after hearing the first four words with a twitching mouth.
It seems no one wants to pay attention to her.
But it's not that no one paid attention to her. At least the array eye has been talking, and it has never stopped since she came over.
"I recognize you, you are a big star, the one who acts in TV dramas!
Why did you dye your hair pink? I don't think pink suits you. Do you want to consider changing a color?"
Although she had long been warned by the previous free player not to respond to any of the array eye's chatter, Tao Yi finally felt grateful for the life-saving grace of this array eye, so she tried to squeeze out a smile and replied awkwardly:
"What color?"
"Transparent!"
"?"
"Just like me, don't you think a bald head is your destination?"
"..." Tao Yi was stunned for a moment, blinking frantically, looking at this bald array eye, confused, "Are you... serious?"
"Of course true!
Aren't you an actor? Shaving your hair can allow you to better wear various headgear, just like in the drama you acted in. You changed so many hairstyles back and forth, it must be very troublesome, right? But as long as you shave your hair, everything becomes easy.
I remember correctly, right, Song Xiaoxiao is who you acted."
"... That is the female lead."
"Oh, right, right, you are the female supporting role, acting as that annoying cousin of the princess, Qin Wanxi! You acted quite like it, I was annoyed when I watched it."
"..." Tao Yi's eyelids twitched fiercely. She struggled with her arm, but didn't break free, so she could only turn around silently.
"Wrong again?" The bald array eye frowned, looked at Tao Yi's back, and suddenly realized after measuring for a moment, "So you are not Tao Yi, sorry I actually recognized the wrong person."
"... I am Tao Yi." Tao Yi was numb. She struggled with her hand again, just wanting to escape this place that made people silent.
"You are Tao Yi? Then who did you act, it can't be that female prince who likes Song Xiaoxiao?
Tsk tsk, being able to interpret same-sex love so excellently, you have gained a lot.
However, I generally don't like to pay attention to the lead actors when watching dramas. I have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty, and I can always find people with great potential in various supporting roles.
I am actually quite interested in that little maid who has been trying to match you and Song Xiaoxiao in your drama. I think her acting is not bad, and she is young and promising. Are you on good terms with her? Tell me about her?"
"..."
Tao Yi was stunned. She turned around dumbfounded to look at the bald array eye, pointed at herself with her other finger, wanting to say "That is me," but after opening her mouth for a long time, she gave up.
Because she felt that not listening to advice and paying attention to this person was a mistake from the beginning. This silence was what she deserved.
So Tao Yi, who had no love for life, squatted in place and began to close her eyes to rest.
Free players are not always free. In the gaps of everyone's rest, they also need to seize the time to rest, so that they can fill in the first time when the mage echelon is short of people. Otherwise, relying only on more than a hundred long-range mages and hunters, this unstable position will sooner or later be broken by these tentacles.
After all, they are endless, and it seems they don't need to rest at all.
Seeing that the star in front of her no longer paid attention to her, and there was sadness on her face, the bald man who had been chattering just now suddenly stopped talking. After a moment of silence, he looked at Tao Yi and said:
"Don't be afraid, as long as I am here, you won't die."
Hearing this, Tao Yi opened her eyes suddenly and looked at him, hope flickering in her eyes.
"You... are not as... as the rumors say..."
"As what? Whose rumors? Is someone gossiping about me in front of you? Who is it? Do I know him? Have I been ranked with him? Does he understand me? Is he jealous of my beauty so he is slandering me?
You have to believe me, I am not that kind of person. On the contrary, I am a very reliable person.
Because I am a..."
"Legendary what?" Tao Yi's brain didn't keep up with the other party's speed.
"Legendary drama critic, the female prince you acted is indeed not bad."
"..."
Tao Yi had never wanted to escape here as much as she did at this moment. What prompted her to make this decision was not the crisis surrounding her, but this... chatterbox God's Chosen who saved them all!
