Shen MO briefly described what happened on the island to Tan Xiao and Chang Weicai.
Despite trying to be as concise as possible, due to the newly appeared Inspector, various game formats, and the relationship between Old Zhao and the people on the island, it still took a considerable amount of time to explain.
Tan Xiao was so surprised after hearing that, he couldn’t utter a word.
He found it inconceivable, how an old man could silently take the lives of hundreds of people, and that none of the people on the island noticed anything amiss!
Chang Weicai also didn’t speak.
He hung his head, not uttering a word, looking very solemn.
Everyone remembers, Chang Weicai originally planned to stay on the island. Who would have thought that what was assumed to be a paradise, hid such filth and evil?
“No wonder the old man summoned everyone as soon as he returned. Was he trying to clear things up in front of everyone?” Tan Xiao couldn’t understand, “Even now, could he still clear his name?”
Shen MO said, “We can put aside Zhao Jiantao’s matter for now. What intrigues me is the information he provided; the game can move.”
“So what if it moves?” Tan Xiao was indifferent, “If it can move, then I can run.
If worst comes to worst, we just run away.”
Chang Weicai sighed, “Xiaotan, you don’t understand. If the game really follows whoever runs, then there would never be a safe base in this world. As long as we are alive, we are in danger.”
Tan Xiao was momentarily at a loss for words.
“This could also explain why the biggest cities were the first to be affected.” Shen MO said blandly, “It’s due to population density.”
“Also, the maze.” Bai Youwei chimed in, “Don’t forget, the nature of the maze is to continuously expand. Can we infer that the maze expands its scope and searches for new players when it senses no surviving players inside?”
“Then…then…” Tan Xiao was confused, “The game wants to capture people, the maze wants to capture people too… Can we even have a place to stay anymore?”
Shen MO said gravely, “In the future… I fear the entire human race will be forced into the maze.
Tan Xiao: “Why not the game?”
“We consider the maze to be of a higher level than the game, in a certain sense.” Bai Youwei explained, “Like a food chain, we need to follow the rules of the game, and the Inspector needs to follow the rules of the system. For now… the Maze is the entity closest to the system.”
Tan Xiao half-understood, he scratched his head: “But to me, the game seems to be more bothersome? At least you can see and avoid the maze, but the doll game is like stepping on a landmine, popping up out of nowhere!”
Bai Youwei said, “There’s also one more thing. In this game, the Inspector said something, ‘The Friend Game is my masterpiece, it’s flawless and has displayed countless precious data’.”
Chang Weicai paused slightly, muttering to himself: “Precious… data…”
“Indeed,” Bai Youwei nodded, “I am interested in two things: firstly, the
Inspector designed the game; secondly, the game provides data for the
Inspector. But what is data for? Why the Inspector needs data?”
Shen Mo: “Zhao Jiantao said that the game can move, and it seems like hunting, whereas we are the sheep. It does indeed feel like the game is herding us towards the Maze.”
Chang Weicai sighed with a touch of despair, “Complete the puzzle to clear all games. But ultimately, the game steers us towards the maze. No one can escape.”
No one can escape…
Shen MO pondered a bit, and after a moment of silence he said, “The good news is… we are valuable data samples to the system, at least, as long as we don’t break any rules, the Inspector won’t threaten our lives.”
The four fell silent.
This is perhaps, the only good news so far.
But it’s only good news in relative terms, just not as bad as the others..
