Chapter 1200 The Tathagata of Time
Wen Yongxin, this name is quite charming.
I still remember that after Nong Yueke's mission, Shao Yongan and others asked him what kind of suspense novel he had written and whether it had been a hit.
This young man, who was frivolous on the surface but delicate on the inside, just flipped his bangs and smiled.
There are many such clerks in the top ten branches.
Why is it said that Tianhai Hotel is a world where "geniuses are worse than dogs"? Because it is really cruel to the extreme.
Genius is just the threshold for survival here. Surviving one or two missions does not mean that you can really live forever.
For everyone, time is destiny, not an excuse after failure, nor humility after success, but the real and cruel underlying logic.
This was the case with Zhan Xun in the past, and it is the same with Wen Yongxin now.
Those who leave have the sorrow of leaving, and those who live have the difficulty of survival.
The Trojan horse stopped, and there was a visitor on Horse No. 5, but Wen Yongxin was "out".
All the previous speculations and the premise of all efforts were severely shattered, and Chen Jie's eyes were split.
Because to be fair, Chen Jie does not think that Wen Yongxin is worse than her, and her previous thoughts were not wrong, but what is the reason for this tragic situation...
Chen Jie sat on the wet and sticky No. 6 horse, bleeding from half her body, and her brain was running rapidly, looking for the reason on the empty Trojan horse field.
"He proposed that ghosts are related to wooden horses and not people, but he was wrong later;
He also suggested that the ghost first attacked tourists and then shop assistants, but it was also wrong later;
Now it is confirmed that the location of the ghost is unknown, there is no process for the ghost’s actions, and there is no solution to the ghost’s methods..."
The more Chen Jie thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but look around the Trojan project again, especially staring at the freeze-frame pattern on the ceiling for a while.
If the wooden horse is not spinning, there is just an ordinary oil painting, depicting a cute and warm cartoon character.
Everything was filled with a strong sense of powerlessness, as if no matter what I did, it was impossible to win and leave from this wooden horse.
But...
"Ms. Chen, if everything is wrong, then maybe you can only try this last method."
Just when Chen Jie seemed to be coming to some conclusion, Ji Li suddenly spoke, as if he was going to bring a plan that had been brewing for a long time.
Chen Jie's expression was suddenly startled, which was a sign that her train of thought was interrupted. She looked at Ji Li, who had never moved from beginning to end, and asked subconsciously:
"What can I do?"
Ji Li moved his slightly stiff body, put his two arms on the horse's head, looked forward and said lightly:
"Don't do anything and wait for the game to end."
Chen Jie frowned, her hand holding the No. 6 horse shook, and her eyes kept rolling.
At first, her expression was slightly confused, then relieved, but immediately changed to gloomy and resentful.
The three stages represent three states of mind.
The confusion was because she didn't understand why Ji Li's so-called "plan" was to wait for the end.
Relieved, she suddenly had an idea and understood the other party's intention;
The resentment was what she realized after realizing that it was too late.
After more than four long and short minutes, near the end of the game, Ji Li said something about how to survive - "Don't do anything, wait for the game to end."
In fact, just now, Chen Jie was very close to this way of life.
She realized that all her previous conjectures were subverted, and all her thinking and logic were completely wrong... On the premise that there was no solution to the ghosts and no apparent death, how could a living person win this game?
The final answer is hidden in the rules of the game - "Sit for 5 minutes."
This summary of the game, which in their eyes was vague and unclear, turned out to be the only way out for everyone.
There is no solution to ghosts and there is no solution to games, so it is impossible to find a way out from both "ghosts" and "games".
Looking back now, Ji Li has never taken the initiative to make any move to change the game since it started.
Horse No. 12, Horse No. 2, and Horse No. 3, the passers-by closest to him, were eliminated one after another, but he became the one who jumped perfectly.
Ji Li obviously didn't do anything, so why hasn't he been attacked?
The answer can only be "nothing".
In the same way, the reason why Wen Yongxin was eliminated is precisely because he was extremely active and constantly interfered with the operation of the Trojan horse project.
It wasn't until this moment that Chen Jie finally grasped the core gameplay of the Trojan game.
3 clerks and 8 tourists, 8 of whom will be killed, completely serve as a deterrent and intimidation.
The ghosts use their death stimulation to continuously irritate and force the store clerks to have self-crisis, thus leading to resistance and resistance.
And as long as you resist, it is a dead end.
Chen Jie forced herself to move her eyes from Ji Li to Wen Yongxin, feeling desolate in her heart.
In these short four minutes, she and he racked their brains to calculate and test with all their strength, but the final result was a complete failure.
Who would have thought that in such a tense and dangerous game, staying true to yourself and staying still is the only way to survive?
Who would have thought that "sit for five minutes", which they once regarded as vague and unclear, would turn out to be an anti-routine strategy?
At least, neither she nor Wen Yongxin expected it.
Chen Jie's eyes fell back on Ji Li, her eyes filled with admiration and hatred.
What she admired was Ji Li's ability to be stable from the beginning to now and never let his guard down.
What she hates is that after Ji Li clearly realized this way of life, he still used her and Wen Yongxin to test the other ways of life, leading to a situation where there was no way back.
Chen Jie is dead.
Her actions were no less than Wen Yongxin's, even more and more intense. It didn't end now, maybe it was just luck of the timing.
Piano music comes from all directions again. Gentle and peaceful music is not a cure for the madness before death, they are just a catalyst.
Five minutes are finally here.
The layout of this place is still so beautiful and warm, but together with the unsightly filthy things everywhere, it forms an even more dazzling and absurd scene.
Chen Jie glanced at the unconscious young man on the 5th. At first glance, she looked like she was looking at an idiot, but then she laughed at herself.
"He is, and so am I."
After thinking about it, she took off her dirty coat, put on a thin red skirt, and jumped off the horse.
The piano music at the end is melodious and heart-warming, like the dusk in the mountains, soothing the heart.
Ji Li jumped off the No. 1 horse with difficulty, leaned over and picked up the crutches placed on the sidelines, and walked towards the exit with slow and heavy steps.
Backed by a bright afterglow intertwined with the long night, and the various broken limbs.
Every word of reluctance that Chen Jie and Wen Yongxin said before they died seemed to be echoing in his ears, but there was no wave in his heart.
When Ji Li left, it was just like when he came.
