Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Two people with unclear intentions, but the same destination
In the Elder Council, the elders were no longer paying attention to other players' game perspectives. Everyone's focus was on this real and fake Blank situation.
Watching their gaits and expressions, they all felt a chill in their hearts.
"If we hadn't been extracting their action perspectives frame by frame from the very beginning, from a third-person viewpoint, I really wouldn't be able to tell who is who."
"This is too similar. What grade is that mask of 'Sin' anyway? Its functions are excessively complex and powerful."
"Additionally, why does it feel like Blank's current personality and demeanor are transforming to resemble 'Sin'?"
Several elders responsible for recording and analysis also began discussing among themselves, murmuring in amazement.
Suddenly, one of the elders spoke up and asked the Grand Elder.
"Speaking of which, what do you think the final rules of this game are? What's the winning criteria?"
The Grand Elder's eyes remained firmly fixed on the video, as if completely unaffected by the outside voices.
"I estimate that the rule of this game might be that there are no rules."
"As for the final winning criteria, I'm not clear about that yet."
"Just..."
The Grand Elder's expression was very puzzled at this moment. They say bystanders see clearly, but he had been thinking for too long and still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
"The problems between these two people are just too great, there are too many coincidences!"
"So coincidentally they split into two teams, and these two teams perfectly separated the high-level combatant Sun from that Yu Huan."
"Ultimately, one team engages in frenzied bombardment and destruction, while the other freely enjoys playing."
"This kind of grouping completely feels like testing, testing the possibilities of this game!"
Among the elders, the one with somewhat gloomy features slowly frowned and asked:
"Are you saying that 'Sin' and 'Blank' used their own methods to make people suitable for their side actively follow them?"
"Are these two different paths they chose? Two different paths that might lead them to victory?"
The Grand Elder frowned deeply, softly murmuring:
"Are they really different paths?..."
For some reason, perhaps his long years had given him many intuitions.
Although the two were diametrically opposed, made completely different choices, and were playing in completely different ways at this moment, he just had this feeling.
A feeling... that they seemed to be cooperating!
But this feeling was somewhat difficult to convince himself, so he didn't voice it.
"I really want to know what's going on in that guy's head..." a rough voice sounded.
"Why would he suddenly, at that moment, think of transforming into Blank's appearance? What exactly does he plan to do?"
"Actually, what Blank herself is thinking is equally unclear in intention. I always feel that if she really wanted to prove her identity, she has ways to do so," the Grand Elder said calmly.
"This real and fake Monkey King situation—it seems the real Monkey King doesn't have any objections either..."
"Why did 'Sin' specifically bring Yu Huan with him? Had he already recognized that as 'Joy' at that time?"
"And, is she really Joy? Isn't it a bit too early and too obvious to be exposed?"
"If she really is, then can she recognize which one is Sin and which one is Blank?"
"Even further, we can't even be completely sure what that guy Sun is thinking in his heart!"
The Grand Elder's brow remained tightly locked as he raised question after question, yet not a single one could be answered by anyone present.
In the dimly lit basement, golden tables and chairs were scattered about, and all the elders sitting there resembled sculptures.
As time passed and the game changed, the games that "Sin" participated in were becoming increasingly incomprehensible to them.
Now, all their doubts condensed into one question—how to win?
All the players in the game were frowning with worried expressions, with one core reason—they didn't know how to win.
But those four people with smiles on their faces were exceptions, as if bringing some brightness to the gray Paradise above.
Setting aside Yu Huan, who was highly suspicious, there were Blank, Sin, and Sun.
Did they... know how to win?
......
On the main amusement park avenue, Sun's slowly moving flame giant walked while looking down at the Blank beside him.
"Hehe, little girl, although you've been saying for me to choose freely."
"But when it comes down to it, it seems you still carry some kind of guidance, as if leading me in this direction."
"What do you mean?"
Blank smiled slightly, showing a seemingly somewhat surprised expression, and responded:
"Oh, you noticed? That's good, your brain hasn't degenerated too badly."
The nose-ring guy who had been following along just going through the motions, just scraping by, now walked with heavy steps, as if dragging his shoes along the road.
Hearing what Sun said, he couldn't help but tremble all over—something didn't feel right.
Clearly this Sun had said from the beginning that the person before them was "Sin" in disguise.
Why was he now directly calling her "little girl"?
What did this mean!
Was it humiliation? Or was this Blank actually real?
Of course, no one answered the doubts in his heart at this moment. Sun laughed heartily:
"So what are your plans? Where are we going?"
"Haunted house." The word slipped from Blank's lips. "Didn't we say it before?"
"Our final stop is the haunted house."
......
"Guide Blank, this journey has been so interesting!"
"What else are we going to play?"
Yu Huan laughed freely, bright and brilliant, thinking about the next game, completely ignoring the zombie-like Qingshuang and the black guy behind her.
Along the way, no more hostile players charged out, but the internal consumption between the two had almost killed them.
"Hehe, what do you want to play?" The "Blank" beside her asked with narrowed eyes.
"How about we go play in the haunted house!" Yu Huan replied, even making a fierce grimace that held no intimidation whatsoever.
"Good!" Beside her, Blank's eyes narrowed into beautiful crescents.
Viewed from high above, the two teams that had initially gone their separate ways, after making a round through the amusement park, ultimately found their paths converging again.
They began moving toward the same destination, also the final destination—the haunted house.
All the Elder Council members and audience watching this couldn't help but recall a certain dialogue.
A dialogue between Blank and Sin from the very beginning of this game.
