Chapter 265 The vacation is over
On the way back to the hotel.
The omen of "a boy offering flowers at a grave" has already appeared.
Suppose that image is in reverse order.
The major events leading up to the end times are as follows:
[Yu Tianrong enters the village (already happened)] -> [Sending flowers at the grave (already happened)] -> [Train derailment] ...
The next thing was the train derailment.
Including the murals that have been defaced, the process is nearly halfway complete.
And they only realized this was happening now...
Chen Ji felt a chill run through his entire body.
He pushed open the door and saw his uncle and Wusu. He thought of his friends far away in Tianhai City, and his heart felt heavy.
He had thought his life was fraught with danger; but now it seemed to be a precious peace.
.....
A few days later.
The three returned to Tianhai City.
Du Tingfeng and his two companions also left the area just a few hours before their arrival.
"There aren't that many twists and turns." Liu Zi sat casually on the sofa and said a few words: "The last two domains scared me. They were more and more difficult than the last one. I didn't expect this one to be so good."
He specifically emphasized the words "not bad".
But judging from Liu Zi's relaxed expression, it was clear that it wasn't just "not bad".
In this realm, Liu Zi obtained a new strange object, completely abandoning the previous "face mask".
He replaced the "face mask" on the Yuhe Forum.
Fei'er also lazily slumped to one side, yawning, showing no signs of having just left the domain.
"How could it be so easy?" Chen Ji wondered inexplicably. "Is it because I'm not here?"
"Chen Ji".
Fei'er glanced at him and said, "You've gotten darker and look much older."
"is it?"
Chen Ji gave a dry laugh.
He spent more than half a month in southern Yunnan, and his legs were almost worn out from running around, going up mountains and down to tombs.
Oh, and I also spent a few days mining coal with Xu Sandao when I had some free time.
"uh-huh."
Liu Zi nodded from the side: "If you hadn't replied to our message a few days ago, seeing you like this, I would have really suspected that you escaped from northern Myanmar."
When Chen Ji suddenly disappeared in southern Yunnan and hadn't sent any messages, Liu Zi had suggested this possibility.
The sound of the door opening interrupted their conversation.
Du Tingfeng stepped into the living room. He had just left the area when he took his sister back to the hospital.
I just got home.
"Huh? When did you get back?"
Du Tingfeng was taken aback, looking at the extra figure in the room with some surprise.
"I just arrived not long ago."
The two chatted for a while, as familiar as ever.
Chen Ji couldn't help but ask them about what happened in the last domain.
He wanted to figure out if it was because of him that the domain was so difficult every time.
"It's not that simple."
Du Tingfeng recalled, "There were a total of sixteen people who entered the domain, and I know that ten of them died."
"Two died during the 'Welcome Show' on the first night; most of them died in the 'Game' afterwards."
He then explained that the previous domain had an "excellent environment" "at sea"; the ghosts played "games" with them.
"...A cruise ship?"
Chen speculated with great complexity.
Du Tingfeng nodded and took out his chips from his pocket.
He casually tossed the chips aside, his eyes following them as they darted around: "The 'game' isn't difficult for me; the main challenge is the 'welcome show' on the first day."
"We are performers."
Based on the accounts of the other two people, Chen Ji roughly understood that the passengers on that cruise ship were all ghosts, while the entrants were employees.
Those who enter the realm must do everything they can to amuse the "passengers"; when necessary, they must even personally participate in the entertainment with the ghosts.
One of them, while performing the "saw-off" magic trick, had the mechanism switched by a ghost, and his body was instantly severed in two, leaving a river of blood...
However, his team also received unanimous praise from the "passengers".
Of course, the most difficult part is probably the game phase.
"I bet you helped them cheat?" Chen Ji looked at the two people on the sofa.
Fei'er was fighting with Liu Zi over a bag of snacks and was completely unaware of his conversation with Du Tingfeng.
"That's what you said."
Du Tingfeng silently turned his head away: "Good luck, how can that be considered cheating?"
"And in the last round, they didn't even play."
However, he also made it clear that he won the game and achieved the mission objective by using his upgraded skills.
Then, Du Tingfeng asked about the tomb and why Chen Ji had suddenly entered the domain last time.
This is very complicated.
When the topic of the great tomb came up, Chen Ji was reminded of the apocalypse, and his mood immediately became somewhat gloomy.
He tried his best to downplay the seriousness of the matter, but the atmosphere in the room still suddenly became heavy.
After listening, everyone fell silent.
Fei'er sat blankly on the sofa, clutching her snacks, looking somewhat lost.
Liu Zi sighed heavily, went outside to smoke, and started making phone calls to his family.
"It won't happen that quickly."
Chen Ji quickly said, "When you left the domain last time, wasn't the Domain River perfectly fine?"
"Ah."
Du Tingfeng seemed to be deep in thought.
He looked at Chen Ji, his expression unusually serious: "Did you see any way to stop the apocalypse in the great tomb?"
Chen Ji shook his head.
He thought for a moment and then said, "There might be."
After all, there are other large tombs, and there might be clues inside.
“There are three more major events…” Du Tingfeng calculated: “I wonder when the train derailment will happen.”
"We can't predict the exact time, so we're in a very passive position."
"The only thing we can do is find the next large tomb and try to prevent the subsequent events from happening."
Du Tingfeng believes that these events may not necessarily be prophecies, but could also be "causes".
A variety of small, unrelated factors accumulated together, causing the Yu River to dry up.
Just like the butterfly effect.
......
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Sandao replied to the message, saying very little, only that he was very busy and would discuss the tomb matter with Chen Ji in detail later.
Chen Yuetan still disappears from time to time, and even when he does return home, he seems preoccupied.
After learning about the apocalypse, Liu Zi regretted not being able to go home for the New Year and returned to Snow City half a month ago.
Chen Ji began searching for information about Tuotuo Mountain, but found no information online so far.
Dao Wuyan did not return his calls.
If things continue like this after he leaves the region again, Chen Ji will consider returning to southern Yunnan once more to visit her at the newspaper office.
I washed the pen again.
After selecting the pen, Chen reluctantly spent a lot of money to order repair materials, planning to have the pen "repaired" next month.
A peaceful and wonderful month has come to an end.
Early spring has arrived, and the trees along the roadside are sprouting their first tender buds...
Du Tingfeng's domain has been opened.
On his way to visit Du Muyu with Chen Ji.
----------
Here's a brief overview of the previous realm where Du Tingfeng, Fei'er, and Liu Zi entered, including some of the settings and plot details.
【Vision Victoria Cruise Ship】
Teamwork is involved, and the domain is automatically divided into four teams.
Goal: Earn 500,000 per person.
Special NPC - Human Resources Manager: You can collect your salary here and pay a certain fee to apply for a team transfer.
[Ways to earn money]: Tips, wages, game bonuses.
Tips: Of course there are activities every day on the cruise ship!
When your show is entertaining enough, the "passengers" will tip you a substantial amount.
If the performer is unable to collect the tip, it will be automatically credited to the team account.
(After performing a sawing-off magic trick, organizing a pottery workshop, and a horror show, the only surviving member of the team took all the tips and successfully left the area.)
Liu Zi earned 200,000 yuan in initial funding through his antics and then swapped himself and Fei'er into Du Tingfeng's team.
wage:
(Three basic occupations) Dishwasher, cleaner, waiter/waitress.
(Hidden professions that have been discovered):
Sailor: Tests have shown that this job requires going to sea and is extremely difficult.
(The only person to enter the realm who chose this profession died during their first trial period.)
Shop assistant: According to tests, this job is very likely to upset "passengers".
(A newcomer absconded with the funds after working for two days.)
Mini-golf coach: Tested, this job requires great physical strength and perseverance, as well as the risk of having your body used as a ball.
(Those who choose this profession work for fifteen days, losing an eye and some body organs; they eventually succeed in earning 500,000 and survive.)
And a SPA beautician (Fei'er), a bartender, and a first mate.
Game Bonuses:
Game Night, once every three days!
Roulette, Bingo, Texas Hold'em, Two True/False, My Secret Friend, Board Games, Bridge, Treasure Hunt...
An initial fund is required. The game is turn-based and the difficulty gradually increases.
Winning all three games will earn you a million-dollar prize.
Shen, an initiator from Du Tingfeng's original team, failed to steal chips in the final round of the game and was instead drained of a large amount of luck by Du Tingfeng's skill.
Du Tingfeng won the competition with his good luck, earning one million. He then took Fei'er's salary, Liu Zi's performance fee, and the funds left in the team after Shen's death to leave the country with Fei'er and Liu Zi.
