Chapter 17.1 - Sent to prison: Clearance
Chapter 17.1: Clearance
Xiangnu was fl.u.s.tered and confused, but after being pushed out by Yu Su, he still did not forget to remind Yu Su, “Mr Yu, why don’t you put on your life jacket…”
Yu Su replied, “You don’t need to worry about it.”
As soon as he said that, Xiangnu immediately shut up.
The beautiful young man was embraced by the youth in military uniform and walked into the carriage. The missionaries looked at them with obscure and careful eyes and finally landed on the capsule in Yu Su’s hands, with different thoughts.
Some were thinking that the two had just cleared the customs and went to the cab again. Was the capsule taken out from the cab? The flight attendant was not in the cab?
Of course, many people realized that Xiangnu may have hidden a few capsules on his body before.
The white cloak on his body was so wide, it should be good for hiding things underneath.
But everyone didn’t know if there were any extra capsules under his cloak, and if they had discovered more secrets in the cab.
Before the sudden change in the atmosphere, Chen Chengen and others still could also ask Xiangnu for information, but after Yu Su stated his stance, the relationship between the taskers and the two of them became rigid.
But in the face of life and death, the face was not a big issue.
Chen Chengen looked around in the carriage, gave a vague look, and then Li Yue stood up tremblingly and asked cautiously, “Brother Xiang, Brother Yu, you are back.”
Naturally, Yu Su didn’t respond. Judging from his performance, whether he heard Li Yue’s words or didn’t acknowledge the question.
Xiangnu tilted his head, nodded slightly, and replied, “En.”
Li Yue’s appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks looked uncomfortable, but he couldn’t see it, and he would not take the initiative to ask him intimately.
In the end, it was Li Yue’s companion who screwed him hard, and Li Yue said hesitantly, “Well, Brother Xiang Mr Chen didn’t blame Brother Yu for killing him in anger just now. Brother Xiang, you have already told everyone the clues you have discovered. You didn’t hide it at all, it’s okay if he(that middle-aged man) didn’t appreciate it, but it’s too much to want to rob you. Even if he dies… he deserves it.”
Xiangnu raised the corners of his lips and smiled ironically and contemptuously but what he said was very gentle and thoughtful, “It’s okay, the dead are already gone. I’m not angry, and I don’t want to have a strained relationship with everyone because of him. We are surviving in the same copy world. We should mutually help each other.”
Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief, couldn’t help but glanced at Chen Chengen with a heavy face, and then said, “Brother Xiang, can you share the information in the cab with us? Everyone has already rummaged through the carriage, although relying on you to summarize a lot of rules have been found, and a suspected way of life has been found, in fact, for this dungeon itself, there are no exploration places at all, in this case, even if we can escape, there will be no reward.”
Xiangnu still didn’t know much about the copy clearance rewards, so he said casually, “As long as you can survive, you can’t be too greedy for rewards or something.”
Li Yue paused, with a subtle expression, “But if there is no reward, how will your eyes recover?”
Xiang Nu was stunned, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, “Go ahead.”
Li Yue gave him a careful look and continued, “So we suspect that there are two possibilities…”
“One is that the secret of the dungeon is very deep and the thinking process needed is very different, so everyone has not found relevant clues. But this is unlikely. There are more than 300 people in this dungeon mission, how could it be possible to find no clues at all?”
“So the probability of another possibility is higher, that is, there is no clue about the copy in our compartment at all! If there is none, how can we find it?”
Xiangnu’s hand that was held by Yu Su couldn’t help but tighten, his heart jumped, but there was only a little doubt on his face, “But… if there is no clue, then this copy will be unsolvable. Is the system sending us here on purpose, leaving no choice but to die?”
Li Yue was a bit at a loss for words and couldn’t say why. Chen Chengen had to jump out and say, “It’s impossible without clues. The system won’t give us mortal tasks, but the difficulty may be high and low.”
Chen Chengen said, “If there are really no clues in the carriage, then the clues are likely to be concentrated in one place, which is very dangerous and difficult to approach, such as the place where the monsters live, the cab, and the tasker can’t go in and explore at all.”
Xiangnu snorted, “The cab can only be entered when the flight attendant leaves. But there are other monsters in it. If there are other monsters, we need to find clues, we will be unable to explore.”
Chen Chengen was slightly startled, his face suddenly changed, “There are other monsters in the cab?”
Xiangnu said solemnly, “Of course, which train has only one flight attendant, and besides the flight attendant, there must be a driver. The driver is in the cab.”
Xiangnu thought to himself that he said there were more monsters but there was only the driver. So that they could prepare more, the fewer accidents there would be. This was a white lie.
Xiang Nu frightened the tasker so much that Chen Chengen’s face became ugly to the naked eye, but he still smiled reluctantly and said, “Thank you Mr Xiang for reminding me, but such a highly limited clue like that is in a fixed location. In general, it will be more conspicuous and easier to find. Me Xiang and Mr Yu stayed in the cab for a long time, did they really find no relevant clues?”
Xiangnu remembered the leather-covered notebook, and the frequency of his heartbeat became much denser, but the cold body temperature of Yu Su around him kept reminding him of his previous warning. After hesitating for a while, he pursed his lips slightly and asked, “No, but I have a question. If the dungeon is explored together by everyone, will the reward be the same as if it was explored alone?”
Everyone did not speak, and their expressions were very solemn.
The one who answered Xiangnu was Yu Su, “Of course not the same, the value of the rewards that can be obtained from a copy is fixed, and the distribution does not depend on who explored this clue, anyone who learns the clue will be able to pa.s.s, and all can share the rewards equally if they pa.s.s.”
“Equally divided?” Xiangnu murmured, “This is really a way to lose money. In this way, if someone encounters some very selfish people, won’t he be miserable?”
Yu Su said indifferently, “Yeah, it will be miserable, but the missionaries were originally dying people collected by the system, and they were meant to be ‘food’.”
Xiangnu vaguely felt that he had touched some important information. He pressed his finger on his temple and thought with a headache. Because as long as the copy of the exploration degree is considered pa.s.sable, although there will be a part of the people who will not be willing to share their information which will make the copy mortality rate very high, at the same time, there will be a part of the people who would prefer their rewards a little less, as long as they could bring a few more people more to live ……
Xiang Nu felt that this point was very important, but he couldn’t figure out what was important. And it was impossible to ask the next person, he could only slightly purse his lips to conceal this point with a heavy-hearted look.
Chen Chengen was still urging Xiangnu and asked him, “Mr Xiang, do you really have no clue?”
Xiangnu decided to put the blame on Yu Su, and it was Yu Su who told him not to give out the notebook, “I’m blind, I can’t even see the road without help, so how can I find clues? Mr Yu took me. Mr Yu, did you find any clues in the cab?”
Xiangnu thought he was a little fortunate now, it is really good to have Yu Su behind him to be a big villain. If Yu Su hadn’t forced him not to give the notebook to anyone, Xiangnu would be tangled between rewards and helping others.
Xiangnu couldn’t help but struggle. There were hundreds of people in this copy, and they were in this sealed and circulated train environment, where any secret can not be hidden at all.
How many rewards can he get when hundreds of people clear the customs together? If the reward is too small, he will not be able to treat his eyes. If his eye disease cannot be cured, how will he clear the next dungeon?
Will there be a second Yu Su to help him like this? No, regardless of whether there will be a second Yu Su, the Yu Su in front of him is enough to give him a headache…
At this moment, Mr Yu, who was grateful to Xiangnu, did live up to his expectations, and denied it without changing his face, “There is no clue.”
But everyone wasn’t very convinced, especially after Xiangnu had asked about the reward.
Chen Chengen smiled reluctantly and said, “Since Mr Xiang doesn’t want to talk about it, forget it, I won’t bother Mr Yu.”
Xiangnu smiled, and the corners of his lips remained in a fixed arc as if they were frozen, full of alienation and perfunctory taste.
But now Yu Su seemed to be in a better mood, seeing this, he actually took the initiative to explain, “If we found a clue, we would have pa.s.sed the customs and left by now, and it’s not your turn to ask us here.”
When everyone thought about it, they also felt that it made some sense. In addition, they felt that Yu Su and Xiangnu couldn’t communicate freely, so they slowly dispersed into several groups and gathered together to continue the discussion.
Yu Su took Xiangnu to the front seat that was very close to the driver’s cab. He glanced back and forth on the window next to the seat and finally selected the gla.s.s next to the third seat.
Yu Su let go of Xiangnu’s hand, Xiangnu held the seat and stood obediently to the side, Yu Su took a small red hammer from the fire hydrant and was ready to start.
Seeing this, the tasker next to them couldn’t help but feel numb, and said nervously, “Are you going to smash the window?”
Yu Su asked carelessly, “Yes, do you have any questions?”
The man was very uneasy, “This… if the car window is broken, will there be any unexpected situation, and will strange things flood into the car from the outside s.p.a.ce…”
While he was talking, he turned his eyes to Chen Chengen for help, but Feng Hejia stood up before Chen Chengen and said, “Hasn’t the No. 4 carriage been tested, it should be fine, don’t worry. If you are really scared, change your seat. Sit back.”
Chen Chengen glanced at her and swallowed the unspoken words.
Seeing that the man could not wait for Chen Chengen’s response, he had to move back by himself, far away from Yu Su and the others.
Chen Chengen hesitated for a moment and asked, “Mr Xiang, Mr Yu, have you made up your mind?”
Yu Su’s answer was the hammer that was thrown and the shattered car window. Snow-white gla.s.s shards shattered on the ground scattered densely, and some even stuck on the seat.
The grey fog outside the train was like a vulture smelling a rotten smell. It approached like a madman but was stopped outside the car by an invisible barrier.
Yu Su carefully selected a seat that was not affected for Xiangnu to sit on, then took off a seat cover and laid it on the ground.
The thick leather seat cover perfectly covered the gla.s.s shards on the ground. He took off another seat cover and carefully picked up the broken gla.s.s shards from the surrounding seats.
The lion-faced flight attendant walked out of the cab and entered the No. 1 car like a ghost. It ignored the gla.s.s sc.r.a.ps and broken windows in that place and walked through the aisle of the No. 1 car with a leisurely tail. When pa.s.sing by Yu Su, who was attentive to picking up the pieces, he politely walked around the corner without touching Yu Su, and finally lay down at the end of the back compartment 1, facing compartment 1.
After the battle at the st.i.tching beauty club, everyone deeply realized the power of the flight attendants. Being stared at by such a powerful monster all the time made everyone uncomfortable and uneasy.
Until the announcement sounded, “h.e.l.lo, all pa.s.sengers, the train will enter the fourth station in fifteen minutes, please return to your own compartment and take a seat, and the flight attendant will randomly select a compartment for ticket checking in five minutes.” After everyone saw the hope of the flight attendant leaving, their tensed hearts relaxed a little.
Because the flight attendant was guarding the door, everyone didn’t wander around in other carriages this time, but at this point, wandering around was of little significance, so everyone was not anxious.
Five minutes later, “this time the car chosen is the No. 8 car.”
The flight attendant slowly climbed up, that human face floated full of meaningful flavour, it coldly swept a glance at the carriage of the task force, turned around and flew to carriage No. 8.
Li Yue jumped up quickly and shouted, “Brother Chen, let’s go to the cab now!”
Chen Chengen gave him a cold look with a sullen face and ran to the cab quickly. When pa.s.sing by Yu Su, who was seriously picking up the gla.s.s shards, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, then walked around him and walked past directly.
Xiangnu felt a gust of wind blowing across his face, and he couldn’t help but look down at Yu Su, who just looked up and gave him a gentle smile.
Chen Chengen opened the doors of the No. 1 carriage and the driver’s cab. He imagined many situations, such as hiding from a sneak attacking monster behind the door, but he didn’t expect that what he saw was actually a screening door.
He was stunned in place, but the door that scanned the infrared heat source made a ‘beep’, and said coldly, “h.e.l.lo, please show the staff ID, scan and verify it to enter the door.”
Chen Chengen’s expression was a little broken, and he couldn’t help but scold, “This broken copy is deliberately tossing people, why is there such a thing as a screening door on a train?”
Chen Chengen turned back angrily, endured the irritability in his heart and asked, “Do we have an electrician or programmer here to try to unlock the lock?”
Chen Chengen thought that there must be a programmer in the fifty-odd people in his car, but he never thought that such unfortunate things would happen to him, and there was actually no one in the fifty or so people in the No. 1 car.
Chen Chengen hurriedly asked people to go to the No. 2 carriage to ask for support. At this time, it might have been too long before the screening door for doc.u.ment scanning had a new response. It made a ‘beep’ and said again, “The working doc.u.ment has not been scanned, you can replace the verification method. Please select the verification method: 1. face recognition, 2. fingerprint recognition, 3. pa.s.sword unlock.”
This multiple-choice question was not difficult to do, the first two will not work at all, and for the last one, there was little chance.
Chen Chengen also did not have time to think about the cost of trying the wrong pa.s.sword, and directly chose the pa.s.sword to unlock.
The screening door reacted for a moment, and there was a small chrysanthemum on the screen turning slowly, completely unable to appreciate the anxiety of the person in front of him.
Chen Chengen scolded again, “What is this c.r.a.p, why does it take so long to react?”
Xiangnu reminded friendly, “Taking advantage of this moment, Mr Chen might as well think about what the pa.s.sword might be?”
Chen Chengen’s eyes flickered when he heard the words. He observed the page that had been redirected but kept showing the redirection, and said, “It seems that the pa.s.sword is 6 numbers. Do you have any ideas for Mr Xiang?”
Xiangnu didn’t think too much, and said directly, “142857 and 741852, I can only think of these two numbers.”
Chen Chengen’s Adam’s apple rolled, “But the pa.s.sword is not necessarily related to this number, and generally speaking, the pa.s.sword can only be tried three times.”
Xiangnu thought for a while, and said, “It’s okay, there are those that can be tried five times.”
Chen Chengen, “…” If you have no clue about the pa.s.sword, what’s the difference between three times and five times!
Chen Chengen thought gloomily, the screen of the screening door finally jumped, and he entered the pa.s.sword input page. Chen Chengen’s mind was blank, tangled between the two pa.s.swords provided by Xiangnu, and finally decided to enter ‘741852’ first, after all this was the order of random inspection of the carriages.
But the G.o.d of fate did not favour Chen Chengen. After he pressed the confirmation b.u.t.ton, the screening door ruthlessly reminded him, “Your pa.s.sword is wrong, please re-enter it. Reminder, the pa.s.sword can only be entered wrong three times. If all three times are wrong, the pa.s.sword will be lost. The door will be automatically locked.”
Chen Chengen’s face was pale, his fingers were shaking when he typed ‘142857’, and he even clicked a wrong number in between. There was a delete b.u.t.ton, otherwise, he would miss an opportunity in vain.
He was so nervous that he didn’t even hear the radio.
“All pa.s.sengers and friends are very abiding by the rules. There are no foul pa.s.sengers in the random check at this station. The train is about to enter the fourth station, ‘Children’s Square’, please be prepared.”
When Chen Chengen trembled and pressed the confirm b.u.t.ton again, Chen Chengen had already thought about it again. Even if he made a mistake this time, he would not try again.
Fortunately, the pa.s.sword was entered correctly this time, and the silvery-white light faded away, revealing the original wooden door. Chen Chengen excitedly pressed his hand on the door handle. Just as he was about to press it, the flight attendant’s voice came from behind, and it was cold and faint. Behind Chen Chengen it asked, “What are you doing?”
