Phi-Fic Chapter 14: The Crane and the Tortoise
Chapter 14: The Crane and the Tortoise
[The treasure hunt game is over and the game has taken effect]
[There is no time limit for this round of the game. Players will be successful if they find the treasure]
[Special scene loading...]
Special scene? Mo Weiqian and Qiao Nanxing were standing on the playground at the moment, with no buildings around them.
There was only an empty plastic playground, with a football hoop not far away and a crooked basketball stand next to it.
In addition to the misty surroundings, there were also many colorful bubbles floating around, making the scene quite dreamy.
Qiao Nanxing: "Should I say that the construction of this basketball stand is not reasonable at all?"
Mo Weiqian: "This should be Chen Jiadong's illusion, don't take it lightly"
Hearing this, Qiao Nanxing didn't dare to look around anymore, and quietly went to hang out with her brother...
Suddenly, a group of children appeared out of nowhere in the open space ahead, driving the train with their arms around each other’s shoulders, humming a strange nursery rhyme:
[The bird in the cage wants to escape all the time. At the dawn of the night, when the white crane and the turtle are united, who is facing you from behind? ]
The strange nursery rhymes surrounded the empty environment, and the children who were originally singing the nursery rhymes happily began to sing faster and faster.
When the white crane and the turtle are united, who is facing you from behind?
Who is facing you from behind?
After the song was over, the children all stopped moving and froze in place.
Mo Weiqian slowly typed a question mark: "Why do I feel like this scene is familiar?"
Qiao Nanxing quietly pulled Mo Weiqian from behind: "Brother, why are these kids not moving? It's scary."
Mo Weiqian: "Maybe there will be something even scarier, like a blank face suddenly turning around to scare you."
Qiao Nanxing was speechless for a while. Ever since his brother's cool filter was shattered, he has become less and less pretentious.
But the next second, the unlucky kids who were exposed really turned their heads in unison, but they didn't scare Qiao Nanxing.
Instead, they stared at Mo Weiqian with twisted and weird resentment. Their white paper-like faces were covered with more dried dark red blood and showed varying degrees of decay.
Mo Weiqian: "It seems that I didn't scare you last time. My performance is not up to standard, so I was sent back by the boss for retraining."
The expressions of the little ghosts are even more interesting:...It’s all your fault, otherwise Brother Jiadong wouldn’t be willing to punish us!
The little girl paper figurine broke down and said, "My beautiful paper is torn. God knows how much effort I put into maintaining it!"
Qiao Nanxing looked at the scene where the children had to swallow the food until their teeth were about to break, and suddenly he felt that it was not so scary. He suddenly had an idea and started to tease his brother:
"Brother, I noticed that you seem to have a special affinity with children. It seems that you have a child-attracting physique."
Mo Weiqian looked at the evil and strange faces of the children in the shadows: "Thank you for the invitation, but it's not necessary."
【Ding! Who is Chen Jiadong? 】
[Task Description: You have connected the two levels and have been recognized by Chen Jiadong. He believes that you are qualified to fight him. Chen Jiadong has set up a game of White Crane and Turtle and invites you to play.]
[Game Instructions: The nursery rhyme will be repeated three times. When the nursery rhyme is played, Chen Jiadong will disguise himself as a white crane and hide among the children who are turtles. When the nursery rhyme ends for the third time, the players will guess who is Chen Jiadong among the children.]
[Task Reward: The difficulty of the treasure hunt game is reduced, and Chen Jiadong will tell the player the location of the last treasure]
Mo Weiqian looked at the mission reward and raised his eyebrows:
"Lower the difficulty? Oh, interesting."
[The game is about to start, please get ready]
【5 4 3...】
"Wait a minute," Mo Weiqian said, looking into the void.
"Chen Jiadong, since you want to play this game, you should at least let us brothers recognize you."
"If you don't show up, who knows if you will hide among the children when the nursery rhymes start playing."
"What if you didn't hide there at all and we identified you? The system will only judge that we failed to identify you."
"After all, everyone can see how much this dog system targets me."
When Mo Weiqian spoke, the system countdown came to an abrupt end.
[Player request is being judged]
[Judgment of success requires reasonableness]
Qiao Nanxing: "Damn, you are worthy of being a brother. You can make the system fail. You really should let those people from the top guild see that you are really awesome and not just bragging."
Mo Weiqian: "The system has always maintained its fairness and justice on the surface. If we publicly say that they are giving NPCs a break, it will be a big mistake."
Mo Weiqian and Qiao Nanxing huddled together and chirped quietly.
Chen Jiadong, who had been ignored for a long time, couldn't stand it anymore and finally came out from the crooked basketball hoop.
Chen Jiadong said with a gloomy face: "You want to see me, right? Then you should look carefully. If you find the wrong person, you will die miserably. Don't say I didn't warn you then."
Seeing him come out, Mo Weiqian glanced at him roughly, then looked away, picking his ears out of boredom.
Chen Jiadong turned a deaf ear to his provocation and was completely ignored. His pale face flashed with a fierce and murderous look. If he could do it at this moment, he would tear Mo Weiqian into pieces and mix them with candy to eat!
[The game is about to start]
The countdown started again, and this time no one made trouble, and the children continued to sing nursery rhymes happily.
Chen Jiadong had transformed into a paper man and blended in with the group. After counting the number of children carefully, there was indeed one more, and from the outside there was indeed no flaw.
Qiao Nanxing pulled Mo Weiqian and said, "Brother, how can you identify them? They all look similar, yet a little different."
"I see you're not in a hurry at all, maybe there's a solution?"
Mo Weiqian patted Qiao Nanxing to signal him to calm down: "Although I don't have a way to identify them..."
Hearing this, Qiao Nanxing couldn't sit still anymore: "Brother, why are you still pretending to be cold and cruel? This is a killing game. You better be sober. If you can't guess it, you will be killed."
As he said this, he exaggeratedly made a suicide gesture towards his neck.
Mo Weiqian: "..."
"I was not even finished speaking when you interrupted my spell."
"Then you continue, brother," Qiao Nanxing said as he sewed his mouth shut.
"Don't worry, although I can't tell who is who, I already know who Chen Jiadong is."
As we were talking, the nursery rhyme had already been sung for the third time.
[The White Crane and the Turtle Hidden Man Stage Ends]
[Players please make a choice]
Mo Weiqian strode into the group of children, grabbed a boy and walked to the center of the football field.
The boy let him lead the way without resisting, and even raised his weird little face and said, "Brother, are you sure it's me?" and blinked innocently.
Mo Weiqian held him still and pinched his pale face: "Stop acting, Chen Jiadong"
Qiao Nanxing had no idea at this moment and could only stand behind them, biting her hand nervously.
【Determining】
[Judgment successful]
[Congratulations to the player for finding Chen Jiadong]
The paper boy next to him has restored Chen Jiadong's original appearance. Since you won, I will reluctantly tell you that the treasure this time is here...
"It's on you, right?" Mo Weiqian raised his eyebrows confidently at Chen Jiadong.
