Doomsday Jigsaw Game

In the streets and alleys of Shicheng more than seven hundred years ago, a life-and-death escape initiated by monsters and humans unfolded.

When seeing an idiot who stopped running away as if giving up on himself, and even took the initiative to attract the monster's attention, some of the students in this group were ecstatic, and some had a sore nose.

But no one stopped.

Whether it was simply because they didn't want to die, or because they didn't want to disappoint someone, they didn't stop running.

The lizard-like monster outruns them all, and the only hope for the group of students is to run into some rough terrain and hide - and then hope to follow the monster to find new prey.

While running wildly, someone had a premonition that Lin Rui's wail might be heard soon, or maybe...he didn't even have time to utter the wail?

Just as they were thinking this way, a strong sense of shock came.

Cheng Shishi, who was running at the front, accidentally fell down on her leg. She subconsciously turned her head and saw an incredible scene.

Huge vibrations came continuously, making the whole street feel like a slight earthquake. Everyone thought that a stronger monster had appeared, and subconsciously looked back because they were afraid.

Then everyone's expression was the same as Cheng Shishi's, frozen in astonishment.

That huge lizard was being grabbed by its tail with brute force by a strange man wearing a mask and a black robe, repeating the beating movement repeatedly!

They didn't know the pain the lizard endured, but looking at the cracks in the ground collapse, they understood how terrifying the masked man's power was——

The force that made the earth tremble was actually caused by a human being!

The lizard is about to let out a high-pitched scream, a rare entry related to sound waves.

But before the sound came out, the masked man predicted the movement. It was clearly a human hand, but it easily broke through the defense like a sharp ax that ripped open the belly, and directly penetrated the lizard's throat like it was covered by armor. Tore off its vocal cords.

This bloody scene made all the students terrified, but they burst out with a strong joy of life!

They just feel that everything in front of them is too shocking.

"This is... Could this be..." Fei Bo couldn't believe his eyes.

"How is it possible that the masked monster really exists? That idiot... What Lin Rui has always believed in is actually true?"

"It's too strong, is this a hero! It's too strong, wow!" Brother Shui raised his bat, expressing his excitement. He seems to have forgotten that he is the one who teases the masked geek the most on weekdays.

Seeing the crushing defeat of the lizard and the familiar mask, they finally believed that a miracle had happened!

Lin Rui burst into tears. At this moment, he wanted to hug Bai Wu's thigh excitedly, to see if he was hallucinating because he was about to die.

Until the lizard's body emitted a bloody stench, until Bai Wu turned around, stretched out another clean hand, and pulled Lin Rui up.

He was finally convinced that the masked monster really appeared!

"Are... are you really... really the masked monster?"

Lin Rui was trembling, looking more frightened than seeing Evil, but he wasn't afraid, but excited and couldn't restrain his body.

"It's true. Let's go, let's go there together and tell your friends about the situation. This city is very dangerous now. If you want to live, you have to learn to save yourself."

Lin Rui only felt that everything was so unreal.

This kind of luck is not for everyone.

The feeling of being saved by something you believe in is probably like all the bitter memories that are like frost and snow, suddenly all turned into golden sunshine.

Bai Wu could understand the overflowing happiness in the child's heart.

In his previous life, he also liked watching Ultraman, although every time he was abused by his father, he would repeat the name of the monster repeatedly.

At that time, he also hoped that he could be saved.

He still remembered that once, because he couldn't bear the sadness of not being recognized by his father, he made a phone call.

That was the phone number of the Space Guard in the Tokusei drama - an empty number that couldn't be reached at all.

This is really a strange thing to say, obviously at that time, under the perverted teaching of his father, he was already better than many of his peers.

He clearly knew in his heart that some things didn't exist, but he still made a phone call out of nowhere. I can't say why, and I don't know what I am looking forward to.

This can be regarded as one of the few childish actions he made when he was young.

Many things later also showed that no one will save himself. Only by constantly fulfilling his father's requirements, enduring and even getting used to all kinds of pain and torture.

Then look for an opportunity to stay away from that man.

No one redeemed him in childhood. There is also no one to redeem the young boy.

But he was able to understand the feeling of being redeemed.

...

...

The next thing was that a group of people rushed over excitedly. Everyone wanted to ask a lot of questions because they were rescued and because they saw an incredible existence.

For example, why the masked monster disappeared in the past few years.

Bai Wu didn't know the reason, how could he know the reason why a weird guy who likes to wear a smiley mask appeared and disappeared.

Deep down, he was leaning toward the masked man being dead.

But to this group of students who were not much younger than him, Bai Wu still told a white lie:

"In a far place you don't know, there are people who need my protection even more. I just went to a far away place."

This lie easily deceived everyone, and Lin Rui was very moved, because the hero never slacked off, he was just doing similar things in other places.

He was glad that he didn't let go of his childishness.

The truth is actually very cruel, but there is no need for the truth here... What builds this world is just an obsession.

After answering many questions, Bai Wu knew that this world would soon dissipate.

History has not been rewritten, but at least in this phone booth world, he hopes that this ordinary boy can live as long as possible.

They asked so many questions, but no one said thank you to Lin Rui. It seems that Lin Rui rushing up to block the monster is not worthy of respect.

Because the real masked geek appeared, the crisis was easily dismantled. So even the efforts of that fool became cheap.

Thinking of this, Bai Wu patted Lin Rui on the shoulder:

"Today's hero is not me. If you hadn't stood in front of everyone and shouted loudly, maybe I wouldn't have rushed here. You are very brave, remember today's determination to die for your friends."

"I am just a symbol. When I appear in this city, maybe people will have hope again, but what about after I leave? Maybe not long after, they will mock other people's inner beliefs. After all, it is not every time, we can be saved by others.”

Bai Wu took off his mask:

"This world is dying a little bit, and there are still many places where more twisted and evil monsters are raging in cities, and there are still many weak humans waiting for salvation. It's a pity that I can't follow you all the time, so you have to become Be more powerful. Be calmer in the face of danger."

"Don't be afraid of evil and desperation, but face it with courage and wisdom. This process may be long, but when you can adapt, you are already a hero."

The face behind the mask perfectly fits people's fantasy of a hero.

At this moment, Bai Wu's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, and he gently pressed the mask on the young man's forehead:

"I will give you this mask. From today onwards, you will take on the responsibility of protecting them. Can you do it?"

The humble boy grew up at this moment, as if all the luck in his life had been used up. He should have accepted the mask handsomely, but he still couldn't help nodding and crying.

At the same time, Bai Wu noticed that the eyes of the people around him had also changed towards Lin Rui.

At this time, they realized that when everyone was thinking about their own survival, it was Lin Rui who stood in front of them.

[Give red envelopes] Reading benefits are here! You have up to 888 cash red envelopes to be drawn! Follow the weixin public account [Book Friends Base Camp] to draw red envelopes!

The things in the scene dissipated like puzzle pieces again. This means that Lin Rui's obsession has dissipated.

Bai Wu didn't know if this young man could lead this group of people to survive, after all, they were not qualified to go to the tower.

According to the objective law of history, they will eventually die.

But at least from this moment on, in the parallel world of the phone booth, he has become the successor of the masked geek. It has nothing to do with strength, only determination.

When the consciousness is about to leave this world and return to the phone booth, the eyes start to play again:

[Is there an inevitable connection between me and the universe? Is there an end to the universe? Is there a length of time? Where does the past time disappear from? Where does future time stop? Is the question I am asking at this moment the same question you just heard? Cause and effect are very interesting things, because we don't know whether we have changed the cause or the effect unintentionally~ But what is certain is that if the cause is changed, the effect will also change accordingly. 】

Another strange conclusion, but it doesn't matter, he has long been used to this style of eyes.

Bai Wu's consciousness quickly returned to reality.

In reality, the phone booth became transparent little by little, and gradually disappeared. Once again, he successfully resolved an incoming call, but what lingered in his ears was not the sound of the phone calls around him one after another.

It was Yin Shuang's whisper:

"White mist...how did the phone booth disappear?"

"Are you awake? The game we are playing now is called Gold Medal Customer Service. The people on the other end of the phone will ask us for help or have some problems. As long as they can solve their needs, the phone booth will disappear."

Bai Wu still carried Yin Shuang on her back, and Yin Shuang's white and slender arms were wrapped around Bai Wu's neck, and her consciousness had not yet fully awakened. It's like the pain in memory, with a slight remnant.

Bai Wu didn't care, and was going to the next phone booth.

"Tell me about what happened to you on the phone."

It was not Bai Wu who made this request, but Yin Shuang. Bai Wu originally wanted to ask why Yin Shuang answered the phone.

But ladies first, while carrying Yin Shuang behind his back, he talked about what happened in the two phone booths in extremely concise language.

Listening to the story that Bai Wu had just experienced, Yin Shuang's eyes were complicated.

"Is that so... I hope they can die well in the world of phone booths."

"Well, that's it. It's strange, why these phones suddenly stopped ringing."

After Bai Wu finished the first call, many calls rang together. It felt like accidentally giving a copper coin to a beggar on the side of the road, and a large group of beggars flocked in to ask him to do a good job.

But after solving the second call, Bai Wu found that all the phones around him had stopped ringing.

His eyes didn't give an answer, and he couldn't figure out why this kind of thing happened, so he and Yin Shuang simply started walking forward.

Fortunately, he was also curious about who Yin Shuang had called on the phone, so he asked:

"The negative attributes on your body have disappeared, and now I have time to pass both of you."

"Thank you."

"Listen, you are so weak, what happened on the phone? Why does it feel like you have suffered a serious injury?"

"Actually, it's nothing... It's a dream. It feels more real. After waking up from a nightmare, there will be a lingering fear."

Without waiting for Bai Wu to continue asking questions, Yin Shuang said:

"Bai Wu, have you really lost your memory?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Is it because of some painful experience when I was a child, because I don't want to recall it, so I lost my memory?"

"I'll tell you a joke."

"joke?"

"Well, do you know Mengpo soup?"

"After death, what to drink before reincarnation can forget everything in the previous life?"

"Yes, that's it. Granny Meng has worked in the underworld for countless years. One day she didn't want to do it anymore, so she told her immediate boss Yan Luo that she wanted to resign. Yan Luo said, "Thank you for your hard work. You have worked so long. Let's have a bowl of soup." After finishing, I went to the personnel department to go through the resignation procedures. As a result, after drinking the soup, Granny Meng forgot that she was going to resign, so she continued to repeat like this, living like a model worker for countless years."

"This...isn't funny, it's so cold."

White Mist said:

"It's hard for people to realize what they've forgotten. I'll show you a magic trick to make you forget the five hundred tas you owe me."

"When did I owe you five hundred tas?"

"You see, the magic works, and you've forgotten it."

This time Yin Shuang smiled.

Bai Wu also laughed and said:

"I don't like to talk about my past with people. How can I talk about what I don't have? I really don't remember what I went through before."

This sentence is not an absolute lie, at least Bai Wu does not have the memory of this body.

God knows how this nine-point-worthy body got mixed up as a little beggar, and was eventually sold to a casino as a slave.

Yin Shuang recalled the content of the phone, hesitating what to say to Bai Wu.

They still had plenty of time, and from a long distance, relying on his powerful companion force, he heard the phone call.

Bai Wu was really looking forward to where the next call would take her. The first two calls seemed to indicate that this was a port city that was about to be completely abandoned.

And the port is the boarding point of the Ark Plan where countless people are full of hope in the era before the tower.

The time points of Wen Hao and Lin Rui are also right, except that one is a child who boarded the ship and was abandoned by his parents, and the other is a student who has no chance to board the ship and wanders around the city with a group of friends to search for survival resources.

Why they turned into phone booths is still an unknown mystery. You'll have to answer more calls to find out:

"By the way, what exactly did you answer the phone call? Tell me and I will analyze it for you. Maybe you can find the problem in this area as soon as possible."

Yin Shuang said:

"Let me down, I don't need to carry it on my back."

Bai Wu put Yin Shuang down, he felt Yin Shuang's attitude was weird, Yin Shuang looked at Bai Wu, and subconsciously thought of the perverted middle-aged man's words——

Bai Wu, you are really a failure. Is that Bai Wu's father? If so... the white mist must have been very uncomfortable at that time, right? Perhaps this sentence hurt him more than those needle pricks.

She was very afraid of bringing up bad memories of Bai Wu, but after thinking about it for a while, Yin Shuang felt that this phone call was strange, no matter from every angle, she should tell Bai Wu and let him analyze the reason.

After the car was silent for a few seconds, she said softly:

"I got your call."
