In the world of strange rules, abstract and complex, [infinite]

Chapter 38: 42



Guardian God choose below, the game rules will appear accordingly, a total of ten:

"Children's game rules:

1. Cannot interrupt the game;

2. Can't always lose;

3. Can't always win;

4. Cannot be impatient;

5. Don't make him feel like you're giving in to him;

6. If he is happy, you do not need to be polite;

7. If he gets angry, you need not fear;

8. If his request is reasonable, you can satisfy it;

9. If he asks too much, you'd better refuse;

10. Adults are adults, children are children."

Up until now, there seems to be some unspoken "tacit understanding" between the Rulers and the participants. Many participants who enter the Rulers will use fake names after entering the Rulers, and the Rulers will not casually reveal their real names.

But this time, perhaps it was because although everyone was in the Rule Realm, they were not in the same space. After all, they could not see each other's faces. When the Rule Realm guardian god displayed his true name, he directly revealed it to the entire group, and it was visible.

Similarly, the entire group can see that there are also ten internal rules below.

The leading red rabbit had already stopped walking to join everyone in watching the excitement. The other team members stood a few steps behind Xiao Leng, watching each rule that appeared, silent as a cicada in winter: "Hey, what is this..."

A thin and elegant male student's voice was trembling: "You can't always lose, you can't always win, you can't let him feel like you're giving in to him, and you can't interrupt the game..."

"What the hell is that anyway? 'Adults are adults, children are children', isn't this nonsense? This can be considered a rule?"

The young girl beside him sucked in a breath of cold air: "This rule... This rule sounds like a folk song when read, huh... A terrifying folk song that will make people panic, Mr. Zhao, please pay attention..."

The bearded old man hesitated for a moment, then advised in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao, why don't we use a guardian spirit? Although... I can't bear it, but this kind of situation where you die and I live is also something that can't be helped. Besides, I'm not saying this is a dead-end situation, if I don't allow your guardian spirit to pass the test smoothly, right? It's good for everyone."

"That's right, that's right." The team members echoed enthusiastically, and some were afraid that Xiao Leng wouldn't be able to bear it, so they quickly added, "You are our team's confidant, we can only rely on you to pass the border! Mr. Zhao, you have to survive!"

During their chatter, the little boy standing in front of Xiao Leng kept looking up at him. He seemed to be deliberately giving Xiao Leng time to read the rules, not rushing or rushing, and completely ignoring the chattering tourists behind him, as if he only saw Xiao Leng and was just waiting for him to recover.

Tieu Lanh's eyes were fixed on the two words "Diep Tich", after staring intently for a long while, the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.

When he entered the hospital, he tied up Diep Tich, but he really didn't think that Diep Tich would also tie him up.

Then he decisively typed "No" under that guardian god question, the two lines of characters immediately disappeared, and the name associated with it disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Leng's eyes stopped at the location where the name was written for two seconds before reluctantly moving away. He squatted down in front of the little boy. Their eyes met and the ten internal rules that were originally suspended in the air dissipated.

The tourists were all nervous, Tieu Lanh laughed and said: "What game do you think you are playing?"

The little boy happily said: "Let's play - guess the silhouette!"

"Guess the silhouette?" Tieu Lanh tilted his head slightly, seeming not to understand this game.

"Yes, that is..." The little boy raised his hands, his right hand grabbed the thumb, index finger and middle finger of his left hand, and opened and closed them, asking Xiao Leng, "Uncle, look, what is this?"

Xiao Leng looked at the image on the ground that was cut by the sunlight, and seriously thought about the answer he immediately understood for a moment before saying: "Is it a horse?"

"Yes! It's a horse! Uncle is so smart!" The little boy happily clapped his hands.

The tourists breathed a sigh of relief——so it was just such a stupid little game!

Two hands can cut the shape, how difficult can it be? It seems that as long as you grasp the good winning and losing steps, there will be no problem.

That pile of rules is more or less vague.

.

Under the lead of the red rabbit, Ye Xi's squad entered the Green Wilds cafeteria. The strange conversation in front of them made everyone hold their breath when they entered the cafeteria, and they focused their attention on looking around, making some initial judgments about their surroundings.

Ye Xi also looked at his surroundings. This was a very large dining hall, divided into two rooms inside and outside, the inner hall was the dining area, their outer room was used for eating, the surrounding arched wall had four windows for eating, the middle was very empty, like a revolving wooden horse, there were many S-shaped fences for tourists to line up. Two pillars used for carrying heavy loads were divided into two sides, the pillars had iron shelves beside them, on the iron shelves were neatly lined up many blue stamped papers.

If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the rule page of Luc Da restaurant.

The big guys looked at each other and walked over together. Diep Tich was the first to take a look. It was really a formal outfit.

"——To ensure a pleasant dining environment for all guests, please strictly adhere to the following rules:"

"1. Luc Da restaurant only operates during the day. If you find the sky turning dark, please quickly hide under the table. Don't roll your eyes or look up.

2. Fresh fish meat, beef, pork, rabbit meat, whatever the taste;

3. Music begins when enjoying delicious food, music stops when praying. Only the beat of drums raises cups to celebrate, the sound of flutes sounds when taking a sip of soup;

4. Lemon juice is yellow, blueberry juice is blue, grape juice is purple, these are all drinkable;

5. Watermelon juice is red, need to add ice then drink again;

6. After eating, please bring the food tray to the staff on the left side of the dining area, and bring the soup bowl to the staff on the right side;

7. Please follow the tour guide to leave Luc Da restaurant."

Wang Xinran gasped and exclaimed: "This Rule of Law Realm is much more strange than the previous dungeons I participated in."

Diep Tich couldn't help but glance at her, silently admiring her for only advancing once to the Rule Realm.

Wang Xinran couldn't help but admire her, thinking that Ye Xi couldn't understand her meaning, she reached out and pointed at the script: "Look at this... Although it can't be considered as rhyming, it's still very fluent and easy to read. Just now, Mister Mao Zi's singing and rambling were also in this tone, this kind of script placed in the Rule Realm is very... very..."

Diep Tich nodded in understanding: "It's very strange, at first glance it looks more terrifying than the usual rule description?"

"That's right." Vuong Tam Nhiem expressed her thoughts, "Looking at the evil lake, it's scary."

Diep Tich smiled and continued to seriously read the rules.

The style of the rules is not important, as long as there are no contradictions when reading it, it's fine. Ye Xi read it from beginning to end, and initially judged that including the strange internal rules, there were no problems with the previous few rules, at least at first glance they weren't flashy rules.

There are suspicious points, the 5th and 6th items.

The fifth rule says "Watermelon juice is red, need to add ice before drinking", this seems very normal, but after the fourth rule says "Can drink" then just putting out the watermelon juice alone becomes strange.

At first glance, it seems like this rule did not exist in the first place, but "he" added it.

As for the sixth point, what is suspicious about Diep Tich is that they all use dirty dishes and plates. Is it really necessary to pay such attention and assign different tasks to different staff?

Looking at the specifics of the operation, the fifth problem could be avoided. As long as they didn't drink the red juice, there shouldn't be any problems. Ye Xi didn't even need to call this point. Lan Guiyi had already said this idea after reading the rules. Her teammates nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Diep Tich felt a bit relieved. This time, his teammates either had experience or intelligence. Compared to the unexpected situation in front of the shopping mall, it was much better.

So she didn't waste props because of the 5th rule, and calmly started using [Distinguishing Dogs] to verify the 6th rule.

After the familiar experience, Ye Xi raised his eyelids: "Everyone, please order your food first. If there are any other questions, we can talk while eating later… That's right, the insurance is up, remember to order a portion for drinks and soup."

Although the rules for customers do not directly make requests, but mentioned "raising a toast" and "taking a sip of soup", for customers the safest way is to have both drinks and soup.

"Okay." The teammates nodded enthusiastically, and each person lined up in front of the window.

After Chen Yinghui, Ou Weiqun, and Zhang Binxin died one after another, there were seven people left in the team. In the main hall, among the four dining windows, there was one that was about the same distance as the main door. The fourth one was slightly farther away. When everyone finished their meals, they naturally dispersed to the front one. Ye Xi happened to pull Wang Xinran to the fourth one.

Vuong Tam Nhiem saw her actions and knew something was wrong. He looked at her and asked: "What's wrong?"

"I tested the sixth rule, the first half is fake. The food trays and soup bowls should all be handed over to the staff on the right, you still have to cooperate with me in a moment."

"Oh..." Wang Xinran nodded and looked at the rule book in her hand, then her expression changed slightly, "This coordination is not very good..."

This rule is not like the previous carousel where the requirement is to "shout loudly to stop" the visitors can directly use logic to convince others, here the internal rule, "Left side" and "Right side" are a seemingly completely equal relationship, doubting whether this rule is reasonable or not, but based on what to conclude that "Left side" has a problem, and not "Right side"?

Moreover, from previous experience, if it is a half-true and half-false rule, even if Ye Xi's impression is that "the second half is fake", the probability is even higher, the situation of the first half being fake should be the first time encountering it.

In this kind of situation, they can't come up with enough reasons to make the rich believe that there is danger on the other side. Just relying on the newly established image of a big boss is probably not enough.

Diep Tich was not worried: "We will cooperate to make everyone realize that there is a problem with this rule first, then they will not dare to randomly deliver the food trays, that's fine."

"...That's right!" Wang Xinran followed her thoughts and suddenly realized.

Diep Tich nodded, then walked forward two steps, the waiter behind the dining window enthusiastically waved at her: "Hello, welcome."

Diep Tich walked forward, the waiter smiled and brought the rice ball to her.

Ye Xi glanced over, the menu was similar to many fast food stores, simply divided into main dishes, snacks, soups, drinks, and desserts. When Ye Xi saw the word "desserts", he was suddenly reminded of someone and couldn't help but laugh.

"Look, our fried fish with rice, pork belly with rice, chicken udon noodles and roast duck rolls are all selling very well. Each meal includes a portion of soup or a drink, and you can also order a small meal, which is enough to eat."

The waiter politely introduced himself, just like a normal fast food restaurant waiter.

Diep Tich looked at the menu while looking at the rules page.

"Fresh fish meat, beef, pork, rabbit meat, whatever it is, it tastes like something" —— she reasonably guessed, this rule most likely meant that except for fish meat, beef, pork, all meat was rabbit meat.

But the meat rabbit must have a problem.

There is also another possibility, but it is not easy to verify at the rice segmentation point.

Diep Tich chose the place to eat: "I want a plate of anchovies, some grape juice, a single order of miso soup, and a small portion of beef sauce."

"Okay, 128 yuan total. Ice drink?"

Diep Tich looked at the rule and replied: "No ice added."

The waiter handed her a small slip. Diep Tich reached out to receive it and opened the money bag. Not at all surprised to see several special bills of Rule Realm appeared inside.

By the time she finished paying, the waiter had already prepared the food, along with the tableware, and neatly placed it on the tray to give it to her.

Then it was Wang Xinran's turn to eat. Wang Xinran's thoughts were simple, crude, and safe: "I want the same as you."

"Okay, a total of 128 yuan." The waiter finished another round of collecting money, paid for the meal, and handed a tray of food to Wang Xinran.

Two people carrying trays of food walked through the small passageway between the inner and outer halls and entered the dining area. A few teammates had already arrived and were just sitting down.

The two people walked over and sat down with them. Very quickly, the remaining two also came over.

The seven people were eating at the long table, filling up the table in pairs, looking very lively. The colorful delicacies effectively relaxed everyone's tense nerves a little. Shen Tao laughed and said with emotion: "Don't say it, although the Rule Realm is scary, the food provided inside isn't too bad!"

"..." Diep Tich thought to say, then you have not gone through too much leftover food in the dungeon.

She picked up the plastic spoon and stirred the fish rice with the tip of her tongue, pricked up her ears to confirm that the BGM was fine, then took a bite. The smooth, fragrant aroma of the fish meat spread between her lips and teeth.

Like nothing matters.

Diep Tich looked up at his teammates who were starting to use their chopsticks one after another. After thinking for a while, he still reminded them: "If you eat fish that is not fresh, beef that is not cooked properly, or pork that is not cooked properly, then you don't need to eat it. You can use rabbit meat instead."

"Cough ——" Jiang Du, who was sitting opposite Ye Xi, suddenly choked.

Jiang Yu was the female student sitting behind Ye Xi in the magic cave. When she was ordering food just now, she also realized that meat, fish, beef, and pork were all unsafe. After confirming that there were no vegetarian dishes on the menu that could be selected, she chose a tomato beef brisket rice dish that looked safe within the range.

While Diep Tich was talking, she had just put the first piece of beef brisket into her mouth, now...

"Cough cough cough!" Jiang Du turned around, bent over and coughed loudly in an empty place, desperately coughing up the rice grains and soup that had choked him. He curled up and said "Embarrassed" to Lan Guiyi beside him, then picked up a cup of water to rinse his mouth.

She was so busy watching that everyone was stunned. After she sprayed the mouthwash into the empty bowl, Lan Guiyi patted her back and asked in a hoarse voice, "The taste is not right?"

"... The taste is right, it's beef." Jiang Du patted his chest to calm down his shock, "But, but the taste is not right, it's not respectful at all, what does it resemble, I don't know, but it doesn't resemble beef brisket..."

Jiang Yu finished speaking and looked at Ye Xi with fear and gratitude: "How did you find this inappropriate? I thought that the rule meant… Other types of meat don't need points, but fish, beef, and pork are safe."

"I thought so at first too." Confirming that there was no problem with the fish in his bowl, Ye Xi calmly stirred his food, "But there is one detail."

Jiang Du and Lam Que Nghi looked at each other: "What details?"

Ye Xi lowered his eyelids, and muttered to himself, "'Fresh fish meat, beef jerky, pork jerky, rabbit jerky, what kind of flavor is that'." Then he raised his eyelids, "'Fresh, jerky, jerky', is this word describing 'flavor'?"

"..." A table of people were stunned for a second.

Lu Mai hesitated: "Who is this?"

"Yes." Ye Xi nodded approvingly, "This means that rabbit meat can imitate other flavors, but it cannot imitate the taste."

"However, I am not too sure. I originally wanted to taste the rice I stirred and make a judgment, but the rice I stirred and ate was fine."

"What was just mentioned is just an insurance policy." Diep Tich said lightly.

Tham Dao leaned on the back of the chair and stared at her, cupping his fists: "Big boss, big boss... I still felt that I was careful enough, but I really didn't notice the difference in taste and flavor!"

Diep Tich smiled faintly: "The dog yawned and caught a fly."

Tham Dao had complicated feelings, feeling that this Miss Ly Tu was too modest.

But Diep Tich really felt like he was "a dog yawning at a fly".

As a journalist, her sensitivity to writing is naturally different from that of ordinary people. The rules of revealing these little details in word choice are considered to be an attack on her professional skills.

Just as she was about to take a bite of rice, the music suddenly stopped.

Diep Tich immediately put down the spoon, clasped his ten fingers together in front of him, closed his eyes, and made a praying gesture.

... Pray that everyone can leave this Rule Realm smoothly.

Wang Xinran, Lan Guiyi, Shen Tao, Jiang You, and Lu Mai originally did not pay attention to the change in voice, but seeing her actions, they quickly reacted. They tilted their ears to listen and found that the voice had indeed disappeared. The four of them immediately put on a praying expression.

Just ate the mask, Ly Chinh was shocked to see that.

He could still hear the BGM in his ears, everyone's reaction made him realize after a brief hesitation that he was hallucinating, so he also closed his eyes and started praying.

Pray...

Like the rich, Ly Chinh instinctively prayed that he could safely leave this hellish place.

"What... this place is so weird?" A pitch black, hoarse voice stuck to Li Zheng's ear. Apart from the voice, Li Zheng also felt a cold wind touching his neck.

This sound was probably meant to stimulate him to roll his eyes, and then without BGM, he would be in danger.

Ly Chinh thought so, his eyes closed even more.

"Actually, staying here might not be bad... Ha ha ha..." That voice became even clearer, the deep and deep laughter was very similar to the classic old witch laugh of fairy tales.

"Life here is easy and happy, without pressure or sadness. Everyone has their own comfortable place to live, endless food, and… eternal health."

"Stay, stay..." The voice beside her ear was filled with allure, "As long as you answer 'okay', you can obtain eternal happiness..."

Forever happy...

The remaining reason made Ly Chinh faintly feel that something was wrong, but in the next moment, his long deceased grandfather and grandmother appeared in his mind.

His grandparents were really good to him. They were both over 80 years old when they passed away, which was considered "living long and dying at home", but he still missed them very much.

Now, they stood together in a beautiful sunset, smiling and waving at him.

Grandma kindly called him: "Xiao Zheng, come here, let's go home and eat."

Li Zheng's steps became uncontrollable, he took a step forward in a daze, his thin lips moved: "Okay..."

Diep Tich closed his eyes, in the quiet area he heard two very small sounds of a chair moving not far away, but he did not dare to open his eyes to look.

The silence lasted for nearly half a minute, then the music started again, the melody was melodious and graceful, carrying a very small hint of charm...

It's a bamboo flute!

Diep Tich quickly opened his eyes and picked up the bowl to eat the soup.

At this time, the others also reacted very quickly. One after another, they put down their soup and bowls, and the big guys kept paying attention to Ly Chinh.

Li Zheng threw his soul like a shallow step forward, at this time he wanted to run to the restaurant's exit, but still had no intention of stopping, his spirit was in a panic as he walked out.

"Li Zheng!" Shen Tao wanted to rush forward to stop him, but was held back by Lan Guiyi: "Don't go!"

The last rule says: Please leave the Green Wilds restaurant under the tour guide's guidance.

Shen Tao reacted, and could only stop, watching Li Zheng walk out with wide eyes. Her legs went soft, and she powerlessly turned back on the chair: "There isn't even one..."

Diep Tich was shocked for a long time: "Why is this happening..." She whispered.

Ly Chinh did not pray with the rich people?

No, there were seven of them in total, six of them were praying, their actions were so obvious that they could not be missed.

Diep Tich did not know why, but the flute sound lingering in his ears suddenly stopped after a certain syllable, replaced by the intense drum beat.

"Drum beat, raise your glass!" Diep Tich quickly decided and picked up the drink cup.

She thought she would clink glasses with Jiang Du sitting across from her, but the one she received was Jiang Du being confused: "Where is there a drum beat?"

Jiang Du was stunned: "Isn't this just normal music?"

Diep Tich's eyes trembled: "If you hear the drum beat, raise your cup. If you don't hear it, don't move."

After saying this, Tham Dao, Vuong Tam Nhiem, and Lu Mai each raised their cups and touched them with hers. Lam Que Nghi and Khuong Du were so scared that they didn't move.

... The rich people now all know why Ly Chinh will meet with trouble.

"You should all be on your guard." Ye Xi gritted his teeth, "Act according to the sounds you hear, don't blindly follow the wind."

"Fuck!" Shen Tao couldn't help but be rude, "This dog canteen... It can still make everyone hear a different sound!"

The drum beat quickly dissipated, and the BGM returned to normal. A few minutes later, although everyone was worried and on guard, they still ate with peace of mind for a while, until the surrounding light gradually turned dark.

Wang Xinran gasped and turned her head to look out the window, then anxiously asked the boss: "We see day and night, won't it be different?"

"... I look black anyway." Tham Dao laughed.

Everyone makes the move at the same time, according to the rules required to move forward and down.

Not long after, the surroundings became completely dark. Not only the sky, even the lights in the dining hall were completely off. Even with their eyes closed, they could feel this change in light.
