Chapter 157 - Chapter 157 Re-entry rules say reality and illusion.

The Mummy Room was empty.

Princess Camellia checked the time: four minutes and thirty-two seconds, not out of time. So the question was, where were Su Er and Ji Hengren?

Before he could even begin to locate it, a familiar yet hateful voice came from far away: "Almost enough for two or three times."

In reality, while waiting, Su Er had been hunting down some weak resentful spirits to replenish the Yin energy lost by the electric shock device. Looking up, he saw Camellia Princess and said calmly, "I just went to the restroom."

Ignoring the falsehood, Camellia Princess responded coldly, "The other party is currently hosting a dungeon and cannot be responsible for guiding you."

"Is it necessary to guide him?" Sur frowned.

He had wanted to ask this before, but he had never heard that a host had to come specifically to pick up the next dungeon.

"This is a special dungeon. The space barrier is very thick. It requires someone with strong strength to lead it in."

Su Er understood: "Just like the Teng Snake Cave Master, it is equivalent to a means of transportation?"

He did not go to the man's copy, but the latter took himself to a place.

Princess Camellia really wanted to record this sentence and send it to the Teng Snake Cave Master, but then she thought that this title was quite appropriate. She took out her address book and changed the note to the Teng Snake Cave Master to: [Transportation.]

It's still too general.

Princess Camellia narrowed her eyes. The Teng Snake Cave Master was most proud of his wings. [The text then changed to: [Small passenger plane.]]

After doing all this, the mental pleasure was only a moment, and what was left was more helplessness and hesitation. He seemed to have been infected with some suicidal virus without realizing it.

Looking up, she was met with Sur's indescribable expression. Camellia Princess sneered and shifted her gaze to the little clay figurine that was relying on Sur to bully others. She feigned surprise, but her tone was extremely cruel: "I can't take this little thing away..."

Bending down, he met its gaze. "Given your relationship with Su'er, tell me, how should I handle this?"

Su'er had crafted the little clay figurine with meticulous attention to detail. Upon hearing this, its Adam's apple visibly twitched. The figurine appeared calm, yet its sentences were interrupted with a hint of panic: "Go away, leave the mother... leave the child."

After he finished speaking, he nodded very firmly: "Yes, that's it!"

This time there wasn't even a stutter.

"…"

Princess Camellia originally had a lot of sarcastic words in her mind, but at this moment she couldn't utter a single word.

Su Er rubbed his brows and lowered his head to warn: "No need for others to do anything, I want to crush you to death right now."

It was rare to see him get humiliated. Princess Camellia was slightly startled, then looked deeply at the little clay figurine: "He's a genius."

He may have the potential to become a master of tea art one day.

Su Er concealed the dark light in his eyes and said casually, "It's a pity that I can't take it away, otherwise it would be a great help."

Times have changed, and scheming and means are equally important.

Princess Camellia could see that Su Er was looking for a new home for the clay figurine, but she knew it would be very useful if it could be raised well. She beckoned with her finger and said, "Come here."

The little clay figure quickly left behind a resolute and elegant back.

After sending the clay figures away, Sur temporarily reduced one of his worries and waited for the host to teleport them out.

Ji Heng suddenly asked, "After passing the inevitable death situation, can we only make the decision once?"

It was clearly an obvious question, but Princess Camellia's expression changed slightly: "What else?"

Ji Heng raised a slightly cold smile: "If that's the case, why didn't the game give Su Er a choice when he got through Wu Du's inevitable death situation?"

Princess Camellia said without hesitation: "His order has been disrupted."

"So what?" Ji Heng: "The game is run according to rules, and besides..."

Princess Camellia had already started cursing madly in her heart and was ready to send this man away immediately.

Before that, Ji Heng had already asked the final question: "Not long ago, you said to Su Er, 'You can also take this path,' instead of 'You can choose.'"

Su Er also vaguely sensed that something was wrong and felt that Ji Heng was the real master of reading comprehension.

If you think about it carefully, the game never seems to give you a clear choice. It seems to assume that you have to collect achievement points, break away from your identity as an indigenous person, and live in the virtual world.

All this is like...

It seems like the choice was made a long time ago.

Princess Camellia had no expression on her face. Without any hesitation, she waved her sleeves and sent the two annoying people away.

Transfer station.

Thrown out of the dungeon without warning, Soul stood motionless, his head tilted upwards at a 45-degree angle. He waited for a moment, but still no achievement points appeared. He couldn't help but wonder, "Is the game stuck?"

Ji Heng was helpless: "It also needs face."

He was waiting there eagerly, as if he was a customer ordering food in a restaurant, and the game was responsible for serving the food.

Probably understanding something, Sur's attitude became humble, and he lowered his head and kicked the stone obediently. The belated thunder finally began to flash in the sky, booming a few times, but except for the new players, the old players basically paused and continued to busy themselves with the things at hand.

It happens over and over again, at least once a month... they're used to it.

Su Er was also immune to the thunder and whispered, "These people don't seem to remember that we went to cheat."

Otherwise, they would have swarmed around to ask questions.

Just as he finished speaking, a player who was familiar with Ji Heng came over from a distance and said with emotion: "I heard that all the cheaters were wiped out this time. It's a good thing you didn't join in the fun."

Ji Heng didn't show any abnormality, and even nodded: "The team is in a period of transition, I can't leave."

The player glanced at Soul and said, "Who told you to be so strict when hiring? But you do have a good eye."

Su Er is very good, but unfortunately he is still one step away from being able to take the lead. Guifen's style of doing things has offended many people, and each member of the organization has his own personality. If something happens to Ji Heng, it will easily cause people to lose their morale.

After chatting for a while, the player walked towards the item identification point.

At this moment, the ninth muffled thunder echoed through the sky, and the game prompt finally appeared -

[Congratulations to player Su'er for obtaining the achievement point 'Green Tea King'.]

[Congratulations to player Su'er for achieving the achievement point 'Playing with Fire Little Cuckoo'.]

Su Er probably knew the reason for the first one, but the second one was a bit baffled: "Cuckoo?"

Ji Heng: "It's the bird that secretly laid its eggs in another nest."

"…"

Soul's eye twitched as he emphasized, "My clay figures don't need hatching."

Ji Heng said calmly: "But you basically didn't participate in their growth process."

Su Er couldn't refute it, and there were many discussions in the distance:

"Why is it the little cuckoo playing with fire?"

"Who knows? Maybe the dungeon has something to do with birds."

"The achievement point should go to the Firebird."

The subsequent discussion was really unbearable, so Sur left the transfer station as quickly as possible.

·

Directly opposite is a dark green tassel curtain, and the interior decoration style is very unfamiliar.

Su Er was stunned for a moment, remembering that he was currently staying at Ji Heng's house. The situation was special, and this time he had been in the dungeon for too long, so the illusion of being in another world when he returned was particularly strong.

Ji Heng didn't react much. He poured two glasses of water and opened the window to let in some fresh air.

Sur took a sip of water to calm himself down, pondered for two seconds, and continued the topic that had been interrupted due to the transmission.

"If I have made my choice, it means..."

The strength with which he held the cup grew stronger as his tone weakened.

Ji Heng sat down opposite him and continued, "This means this isn't your first time entering the game."

Su Er's eyelashes trembled, and he looked up to make sure that he did not see surprise on the other person's face. He couldn't help but wonder how a person could maintain such a calm state of mind.

Knowing what he was thinking, Ji Heng shook his head and said, "I was surprised before, but it was a while ago."

Soul asked tentatively, "How early?"

"When you first entered the game."

Su Er opened his mouth and hummed doubtfully for a long time.

Amused by his appearance, Ji Heng said jokingly, "'It all depends on luck to pass the test', you've emphasized this more than once."

Sur couldn't help but chuckle.

The sunlight came in and hit the side of my cheek.

He was sunburned so hard he couldn't open his eyes, so he stood up and moved to another place. His emotions were turbulent during this time, and subconsciously he had always believed that "Seven Days and Seven Nights" was a banned novel, and that it was banned because of its large-scale erotic descriptions.

Now that I think about it, the host's phrase "Welcome to the world of seven days and seven nights" is full of irony.

In fact, only when players enter the game can they come into contact with the real world.

While frowning and thinking, Su Er closed his eyes: "It seems that this speculation is confirmed."

Ji Heng stared at the ripples in the water and slowly expressed the same view: "If it is based on the premise that you have played the game before, all problems will be solved."

He could operate like a tiger, get through a dead end, and then choose to seal his memory and live in a virtual world from then on. This kind of thing is not impossible for him.

"As for your classmate, I'm more inclined to believe that you two reached some kind of agreement. She helped you re-enter the game. As for what you had to pay, it's unknown at this time."

At this point, Ji Heng paused and looked at him intently: "Games can seal memories, and even create memories, but they can't be perfect."

Su Er pursed his lips, looked up and began to review his past life.

He learned to climb trees at the age of three, climbed onto rooftops at the age of seven, and at the age of ten...

Seeing that he was already lost in thought, Ji Heng sighed, "You are unable to feel sadness for the death of your parents."

"That's right."

"So the reason for taking two years off due to severe mental trauma is not valid."

Soul's eyes suddenly widened.

"People's ability to endure is limited." Ji Heng said lightly: "Even I had to put down my work and adjust my state at the beginning."

As for a senior high school student, it is impossible for him to remain calm while doing dungeons every month, no matter how emotionally deprived he is.

Soul's fingers trembled slightly, and he put down the cup and let his hands hang at his sides.

Now everything points to one fact: he has entered the game, and even if he has lost his memory, his body and brain can still adapt at the fastest speed.

Su Er's loss of composure was somewhat obvious, and Ji Heng didn't want him to face too much pressure at once, so he decided to save the rest for later discussion and began to change the subject: "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Sur raised his head, a look of doubt lingering in his eyes, and asked, "What do you think my purpose is in entering the game again?"

Since the game promised to seal the memory and allow players who passed the inevitable death game to continue their original life, it would not go back on its word. Therefore, it is very likely that he was the one who caused this matter.

So the question is, why bother with this?

Wouldn't it be nice to quietly brush Wu San at home?

"I can't figure it out!"

After being distracted for three seconds, Su Er fell weakly on the sofa.

"Don't force yourself." Ji Heng sat on the other side of the sofa. "Life is only a hundred years long, and you've only lived one-fifth of it. It's already full of ups and downs."

Their eyes met in mid-air, and Soul's eyelids twitched: "Seriously?"

Ji Heng nodded: "The truth."

Soul blinked. "One more question. The host looked at me like he'd never seen me before."

Ji Heng: "There are a huge number of hosts. It's normal that you haven't come into contact with them. But Mr. Yueji can pay attention to them."

Looking back five hundred times may not just be a joke in the game.

Upon hearing this, Su Er's face darkened. "Mr. Yueji is too cunning and difficult to deal with..." He sat up straight while thinking. "But I can go find Gou Bao Pu later and see if I can ask the Smiling Face Merchant to get some information from the little clay figurine."

Ji Heng: "That's a solution."

There were too many confusions in his mind, so Su Er had no intention of doing the questions and took the initiative to ask to cook.

Washing rice and vegetables and putting them in the pot...sometimes this is a good way to relax.

Ji Heng actually had a lot on his plate. He stared at the busy figures in the kitchen for a while, then tried to divert his attention. He stood up and walked to the window, wondering how he could combine work and rest... After all, he hadn't had many hobbies since he was a child.

Ji Heng accidentally saw a family of three walking their dog downstairs. The scene was warm and loving, and he began to consider whether he should raise a small animal.

He is quite good at watching cuckoos.
