Is the Scum Worthy of Whitewashing? - Chapter 119
“You can’t kill in the old castle.” Xu Du said slowly, “Similarly, I can’t hurt you.”
Although he held his hands, his expression was calm and there was no trace of panic.
Rong Qing naturally knew this rule. She raised her gun completely as a conditioned reflex, facing the vigilance of strangers.
But this is a normal reaction. After all, this is a world of rationalized cannibalism, distorted and cruel, with unrealistic kindness like Xia Shiyin. Without the blessing of the heroine’s halo, I am afraid it would have become the earliest cannon fodder to die.
Rong Qing slowly put down the gun and stared at Xu Du’s face, “I remember… you seem to be called Feng Yuan.”
Feng Yuan has always been alone and barely had contact with other people during the preliminary rounds, so Rong Qing only knew his name.
Xu Du nodded, “Yes, I also know that you are Rong Qing.”
“Then what do you want me to do?” Rong Qing looked at him coldly.
“Cooperation.” Xu Du was straightforward.
Rong Qing glanced at him in surprise, then snorted noncommittal.
“Sorry, I’m not good at cooperating with unfamiliar people… Besides, this is a game of fighting each other. Do you think the so-called ‘cooperation’ is necessary?”
“Of course,” Xu Du said, “Have you ever thought about why the organizers have to work hard to design such a link that cannot be killed? Obviously, he wants us to form a team here, and then in the jungle outside the castle, Have a duel of team power.”
More than that, Xu Du still understands this kind of battle royale world.
The distraction and exploration in the castle prompts the opponents who were originally hostile to become partners. During this period, they cultivated a short-term trust and fetters. After that, they left the castle. The carnage broke them and replaced them with betrayal and struggle… The usual routine of this kind of plot.
“So, in order to promote the formation of a team, the exploration in this castle still requires cooperation between the participants to complete it.”
After Xu Du finished speaking, looking at Rong Qing, she still seemed to be on guard.
“Even if you are right, I already have teammates.” Rong Qing said.
She refers to Fang Chen.
“But you seem to be separated from him,” Xu Du smiled slightly. “Unfortunately, I just separated from a contestant I just met. That being the case, why don’t you team up with him temporarily, and wait until I find my teammates. Planning?”
There was no expression on Rong Qing’s face, only a pair of eyes drooped slightly, as if thinking about Xu Du’s words.
“If you want, I can tell you a benefit.” Xu Du said, “In this greenhouse, there is a secret road, right under that flower bed.”
He stretched out his hand, pointed to a flower bed diagonally opposite, and said faintly, “But to open the secret path, you need to open a special mechanism. How about it? Do you want to think about it?”
Rong Qing looked at Xu Du thoughtfully, pondered for a while, and finally nodded.
“Well, I will explore with you until I find my teammates.”
The secret passage under the flower bed was quickly opened, revealing a long staircase leading to the underground.
Not knowing how far they went, they finally came to a room.
The pink walls, with a beating heart pattern, are like the dazzling dazzling lights in a KTV.
Everything around is covered with a halo of powder puff, and the loudspeaker that I don’t know where is playing the popular love song of the girl group, seems to want to create a relaxed and sweet atmosphere, but in fact it is more and more creepy. Sense of harmony.
“The taste here is really regrettable.” Rong Qing shook her head, making a rare comment.
She walked two steps forward, came to the coffee table in front of the sofa, and began to search for the items on it.
I don’t know where there is a sound of mechanical rotation, very slight, mixed in the noisy background sound. Rong Qing didn’t notice, but Xu Du’s hearing was much more sensitive than normal, and he could tell it instantly.
“Be careful—” He pulled Rong Qing over, and stood in front of her sideways.
With a “clang” sound, a huge impact hit the mechanical arm of his right hand, Xu Du lowered his head, and a bullet shell rolled off his feet.
Rong Qing’s face was pale, her slender brow furrowed, “Guns? Someone is here?”
She lifted the machine gun in her hand and looked around with her breath, but apart from the matte finish, there was nothing unusual.
“Shhh.” Xu Du made a gesture to her, paying attention to distinguishing the slight mechanical sound from the music.
A few more bullets were fired, Xu Du pulled Rong Qing to escape, the bullets fell to the ground, hit a shallow hole, and a wisp of gunpowder smoke appeared.
“Rong Qing, can you hit the pink clock on the wall?” Xu Du whispered, “Hurry up, where does the sound come from.”
Rong Qing was surprised, but didn’t ask too much. He decisively raised the machine gun in his hand, facing the clock diagonally above, and squeezed the trigger.
The moment the clock dial broke, the music stopped abruptly, and even the pink light spots on the wall disappeared, leaving only a dark room.
Rong Qing breathed a sigh of relief, “It seems that the previous pink decorations were just projections.”
“Yes, that clock is the central authority. Destroy it and all traps here will stop working.” Xu Du said.
He walked straight to the wall and knocked on one of the areas, “Rong Qing, come and help me.”
Xu Du pointed to this area and “pierced it.”
Rong Qing obeyed, without sluggishness. Under the impact of the bullet, a piece of the wall collapsed, revealing a pistol that was mechanically fixed.
Xu Du took off the gun and opened the magazine to check it. Two rounds were used, and ten rounds remained available.
They did the same, and soon found another one with a magnetic card in the mechanism where the gun was fixed.
Xu Du threw the gun and magnetic card to Rong Qing.
“I suggest you change the machine gun in your hand… If you don’t hide the weapon, you can easily become the object of others to watch out for.” He said, “especially after you leave here.”
Rong Qing raised her eyebrows, “What about you? After all, we are all opponents. You are really generous in giving me such a grand weapon.”
“We are teammates, at least now.” Xu Du smiled.
Rong Qing was taken aback, then lowered her head and picked up the weapon and magnetic card that Xu Du had thrown over.
There is also a manual attached to the magnetic card, which Rong Qing read out gently.
“Each contestant’s magnetic card is accompanied by a pattern, divided into three types: goat, wolf, and hunter…Wolves eat goats, hunters kill wolves, and goats can turn into devil and kill hunters. Please follow this rule to find your Exclusive prey; please also protect your own identity to prevent hunters from targeting.”
This is not an unconditional killing, and the corresponding rules must be followed, otherwise you will be sentenced directly out of the game.
Rong Qing picked up the magnetic card, “Are you sure to give me this magnetic card? After all, you found it first.”
“Well, madam first. Besides, without your help, I can’t get it at all.” Xu Du didn’t care. “Be careful, don’t let me see your pattern.”
Rong Qing stared at him for a while, then focused her attention on the magnetic card in her hand, uncovered the sticker on one side, scanned the eye pattern, and then placed it in the inner pocket of her jacket.
“Okay, there should be nothing important here. Let’s go to another room.” Xu Du walked to the other door.
“Wait.” Rong Qing stopped him aloud, “…You are injured.”
Her eyes fell on his shoulders, bleeding stains on the white shirt.
“It doesn’t matter.” Xu Du took a look.
This should have been accidentally swept while evading bullets just now, but his body felt very weak, it didn’t hurt or itchy, and he didn’t notice it at all.
Rong Qing walked to the cabinet to the side and took out a medicine cabinet. This was discovered not long ago, and it came in handy.
“Come and sit down.” She gestured to the sofa seat next to her, “not in a hurry.”
Seeing her resolute attitude, Xu Du had to sit down in accordance with Yan.
It is indeed not in a hurry, because the original owner’s magnetic card is also in a nearby room and can be obtained soon.
“Take off your clothes.” Rong Qing said.
Xu Du took off half of his shirt, revealing his entire right arm. The lower part was a silver manipulator, and his shoulder was normal skin, but it was paler than ordinary people by several shades.
Rong Qing’s technique was very fast, debridement and bandage were done in one go.
“You are very skilled, did you originally work as a doctor?” Xu Du admired.
“No.” Her voice came from behind, “I just bandage myself frequently. The more times I get, I naturally become proficient.”
Many times? Xu Du frowned slightly, the world blueprint did not explain Rong Qing’s identity.
In fact, for the contestants, identity is the most irrelevant thing. What kind of past you have is not important. The important thing is to survive in this cruel game.
Rong Qing obviously thought the same way. She didn’t say more about herself and put on Xu Du’s sleeve on the other side.
“All right.”
“thanks.”
Rong Qing shook her head, “No need, you just saved me… I should say this to you.”
She lowered her head slightly, and her eyes fell on Xu Du’s hand. The mechanical hand on the right side of the white shirt was exactly the same as the palm structure of a normal person.
Xu Du put on black gloves. This was the habit of the original owner. He didn’t want people to see his incompleteness.
“Why, interested in my hand?” Xu Du noticed Rong Qing’s gaze.
“I’m rude.” Rong Qing looked away, “I’m sorry.”
Xu Du smiled lightly, “Why apologize? This is a normal response. I’m used to it, so I don’t mind.”
“Although you are used to it, it doesn’t mean you like this kind of attention.” Rong Qing said seriously.
She would say this, as if she was also a little surprised.
“I don’t like it, but I don’t hate it. Besides, I don’t think there is any malice in your gaze.” Xu Du said, “If it were you, I don’t think I would mind talking about the past.”
Rong Qing looked at him thoughtfully, “You are a little different from what I imagined…”
“Really.” Xu Du smiled.
He didn’t say much, facing Rong Qing like this is actually taking a risk.
Du Xu might be among the contestants, just like him, pretending to be his identity, trying to grab the other’s tail.
But Xu Du intuitively believes that Rong Qing is not in this range.
She had a kind of fragility concealed by stubbornness, like a piece of solid ice, wrapped in a soft and thorny rose.
Such a temperament is difficult to perform. Xu Du believes that Du Xu cannot perfectly blend with this temperament.
Of course, this is just his intuitive feeling, and this possibility cannot be ruled out, but even if he reveals his identity in advance, Xu Du doesn’t care.
After experiencing multiple worlds, guarding the task objects has long been a habit carved in the bones.
Xu Du couldn’t stand on the sidelines with them. ,
