Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Game Number 21 Ends
The game is over.
The Inspector vanished before their eyes, and silence spread around them, leaving only the sun silently illuminating them.
Shen Fei tentatively glanced around, “Have we gotten out?”
“We have.” Yan Qingwen lifted his head to look at the sky, “The sun is in the west, it’s morning in the game, but in the real world, it should be the evening.”
They turned around to find that the Crystal Tower behind them had returned to its original state. The large crystal at the top was dyed orange by the setting sun, absorbing the brilliance of the evening twilight, sparkling brightly.
Shen Mo pushed his wheelchair forward.
Shen Fei and Yan Qingwen followed him.
Occasionally, they came across humanoid dolls. They had come with a mission or ambition in their past lives. Now, they were all mixed together with the original dolls in the amusement park, as if they were a part of the amusement park.
Yan Qingwen’s pace suddenly increased.
Faster and faster.
In the end, he abandoned restraint and ran towards the carousel!
The Steel Puppet followed him, matching his pace. Each step produced a heavy echo.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Yan Qingwen was going to look for Lun Ang.
Near the carousel, Lun Ang’s doll stood quietly. The setting sun cast a long shadow behind him. The doll was in perfect condition, without any wounds, its face bore a stiff expression of surprise.
It was hard to imagine how brutal his death in the game had been.
When Shen Mo and Bai Youwei arrived, they saw Yan Qingwen roping up Lun Ang’s doll and tying it behind the Steel Puppet.
“If in the future…we can find a tool that allows resurrection, then maybe it can be useful,” Yan Qingwen said lightly as he stared at the doll.
The doll on the Steel Puppet’s back looked lifeless, stiff, clumsy, and even funny.
But nobody managed to laugh.
Bai Youwei said to Shen Mo, “Let’s bring Yu Yaqing too.”
Shen Mo nodded.
Although the prospects were dim, it was better than having no hope at all.
…
The four people and two dolls walked out of the amusement park’s gate.
A few scattered young people were loitering outside who, judging from their attire, seemed to be part of the organization’s assessment team.
Shen Fei recognized them, waving at them from a distance while explaining to Shen Mo, “Professor Song must have sent them to wait here to relay the news in a timely manner.”
When these young people saw them come out, they all froze, as if they couldn’t believe their own eyes.
One hesitated to ask, “Did…did you use a jigsaw puzzle to get out?”
Shen Fei stepped forward, “No, we got out after passing the game, take us to Professor Song quickly! We can provide the organization with a guide!”
“You really passed the game?” The young people were both surprised and excited, “Hide and Seek has been cleared? Really cleared?!!”
They cheered and jumped around, running excitedly on the street!
Their calls attracted more people. As survivors spread the news, the cheers echoed throughout the city—
“They’ve cleared it! Cleared it!!!”
“The 21st game has been cleared! We don’t have to move away!”
…
However, joy and sorrow are incompatible.
Shen Fei looked back, seeing the indifference on the faces of his companions and the dolls of Lun Ang and Yu Yaqing, his just-appeared smile froze on his face. He felt deeply ashamed as if he’d been taken by surprise and been slapped in the face.
The so-called victory, was won with the lives of their comrades.
So, how could he laugh heartily?
Shen Mo patted him on the back with his free hand. “Let’s go, get some proper rest, don’t let your parents worry.”
Shen Fei bowed his head, only responding with a dull “hm”.
