Doomsday Wonderland

Even though everyone knew that venting their anger on the masked volunteer would have no effect, as soon as he finished speaking, a man rushed out from behind Lin Sanjiu and shouted at him: "It turns out it was you who did the good deed!"

She looked back and hurriedly reached out to stop Nu Yue - the masked volunteer took two hurried steps back, coughed and said, "I have no choice but to do it...you can't attack the volunteers."

"Welcome to this new game conference!"

A cheerful female voice suddenly made everyone in the room freeze.

When Lin Sanjiu looked up, she realized that the original projection content on the wall had changed. It turned out that the projector also had a sound-producing device; a fresh-colored, chubby cartoon character bounced on the wall and said with a smile: "This game is very interesting, I think everyone will like it. "

A cartoon elephant slowly walks into the frame. It has a pair of small black eyes and round ears, which can even be called a bit cute - as long as you don't look at the dense human eyes all over its body.

"After the press conference is over, please go in that direction,"

The little cartoon girl waved her hand, and everyone turned their attention to the door that appeared at the other end of the room. Ji Shanqing looked at it and said "Huh?" slightly from his nose, which happened to be heard by Lin Sanjiu.

"Go out of that door and enter the room where the game venue is. When the game starts, everyone must arrive. If you have any questions, you can consult the on-site volunteers."

The volunteer, now far away, nodded.

"After entering the game room, you will find a row of backpacks on the ground." The little cartoon girl turned around, revealing the schoolbag on her back, and said: "Each backpack represents a job, please choose one each. . You must continue to do corresponding 'work' in order to maintain a state of survival... If you don't work for three consecutive days, you will usher in real physical death."

Even though they looked ugly, everyone was still listening without saying a word.

"The goal of the game is that you have to successfully find the exit and leave the room." The little cartoon girl turned back, raised a finger, and said as a warning: "Please note that when you are in the room, your abilities or force are not always available. Effectively, if you provoke a counterattack, you will suffer irresistible physical damage in the room."

Whose response will be provoked? Physical harm from whom?

Lin Sanjiu always felt that there was something missing in the cartoon girl's explanation, and she probably had to continue listening to fully understand it. She looked closely at the projection on the wall, and unexpectedly saw the cartoon girl bow and say with a smile: "Then, the game conference is over. The game will start in one minute. Please rush to the game venue."

While she was stunned, someone blurted out: "What? That's it?"

"Strange," Han Suiping also murmured, "What is the role of the elephant?"

Nuyue was still angry just now, and now her anger was a few inches higher. She asked the masked volunteer: "Does this new game conference only have so much information? We just have to go into that room, work with the backpack, and then find Just leave through the exit?"

"Don't waste time, otherwise you will be punished." The masked volunteer raised his hand as if directing traffic, gesturing for everyone to speed up and go to that door, "I can only tell you, whether it is stated explicitly or implicitly, in fact, the game The main rules have been fully included in the new game launch."

Lin Sanjiu glanced at the gift bag subconsciously - his brows were frowning tightly.

"As far as I know, there will also be text prompts to a certain extent in this game room to help you adapt to the game as quickly as possible... Okay, it's time to go in." The masked volunteer said while opening the door for them.

The door was just an ordinary iron door, and there was nothing surprising about it. However, as soon as Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on the door, she couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh?" with mixed surprise and suspicion.

There was a gray elephant standing in the room.

It's not a cartoon image anymore. Whether it's the faded spots and fine wrinkles on the skin, the long trunk swinging in mid-air, or the dozens of cattail ears... it all shows that this is a real Asian elephant - except for it Except for the densely packed eyes all over the body.

"What...what is this?" Nuyue exclaimed as she followed everyone into the room, "Why is it so disgusting..."

The gray elephant's skin has holes one after another, and there are hundreds of human eyeballs in the holes. They were all bare with no eyelashes, only black and white eyes; some were turning up to look at the ceiling, and some were hanging down to look at the ground. When they saw people walking in, they all turned around and stared at them.

...Nv Yue is right, it is indeed quite disgusting.

The ceiling of this room was only about three meters high. When the elephant paced slowly in the room, its back almost touched the ceiling. Because there was an elephant in the middle, it was difficult for Lin Sanjiu to judge how big the room was. But when a group of eight people poured into the room, she felt as if everyone was occupied. There isn't even much space left for movement.

"I wish you good luck," the masked volunteer said as he poked his head at the door. Then before anyone could react, he closed the door with a "dang" sound - as soon as the iron door closed, the shadow disappeared from the wall. As if it had never existed, only his voice echoed faintly: "Everyone is here, the game officially begins!"

Someone took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Is this...is this going to start?"

Since most of her field of vision was occupied by the elephant, it took a few seconds until Lin Sanjiu saw other people stretching their necks to look behind the elephant, and she finally realized that there might be a prompt text there.

Lu Hua, who was closest to the wall, was the only one who could read the text clearly and was telling everyone loudly: "In the next three minutes, we have to choose our backpack. The backpack is placed on the floor against the wall... …Do you see where the backpack is?”

Host knelt down, glanced through the elephant's legs, and replied loudly: "I saw it. At the other end of the room, it happened to be——"

"Shut up!"

Sibaan suddenly shouted angrily and cut off his voice immediately. Hoster was startled and stood up inexplicably, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't know whether he should ask or not - the room suddenly became quiet, except for the elephant's heavy footsteps, which made the floor tremble slightly.

"There are only eight of us here," Ji Shanqing said in a deep voice, his voice clear and without any fluctuation, "Do you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces, but no one said anything.

"Yes," Spartan responded, "Look, we are in the same room now."

And there's an elephant in the room... This seems to be the second half of his sentence that he didn't finish.

Lin Sanjiu slowly came back to her senses.

During the entire game launch just now, the little cartoon girl didn't mention the elephant next to her at all, acting as if it didn't exist. Now think about it again, isn’t the saying “elephant in the room” a metaphor for an obvious problem that is collectively ignored? There were no rules put into words at the game press conference, presumably "don't discuss the elephant in the room", right?

In this way, the missing piece in the little girl's explanation just now should be the elephant - if we use force against the elephant, it will cause them to fight back and hurt them that they can't resist, right? Fortunately, Nuyue's comment just now was made before the game started, otherwise...

"I understand, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net" Han Suiping said in a low voice, "Then... shall we go over and get our backpack now?"

This is said, but it is not easy to do. The elephant with human eyes all over its body happened to slowly walk towards the wall where the backpacks were placed, firmly blocking it; everyone quickly gathered towards the empty space at the other end and bent down to look away. He glanced around the ground.

Although some of them were blocked by elephant legs, a row of backpacks could still be seen neatly lined up under the wall. A timer hanging on the wall nearby showed that they had two minutes left.

"Let me hook up the backpack," Lin Sanjiu turned to everyone in the middle of the sentence, and quickly added: "If you are too lazy to walk over and get it."

Nuyue stared behind her and suddenly let out a low exclamation.

Lin Sanjiu turned around hastily and realized that while she was speaking, the elephant stopped in front of a backpack. It used its proboscis to open the lid of the bag, stirred inside a few times, then rolled up the entire bag and put it into its mouth, chewed it a few times, and finally ate it.

…Now, there are only seven backpacks for eight people.
