Doomsday Wonderland

A long time ago, Lin Sanjiu vaguely remembered where she had read such a popular science article: When humans encounter emergency moments such as being frightened or in danger, the brain will undergo short-term cognitive changes - for example, if you accidentally get cut by a knife Half of my nail fell off, and when I recalled the moment of injury afterwards, it felt like chaos and fuzzyness, but I couldn't remember any clear details.

In the same way, how did she get rid of the light thread, blast the round hole all the way, fall down the corridor, and finally fall on this land? When Lin Sanjiu recalled it at this moment, it seemed that there was only a mess left. The memory is fragmented.

She fell to the ground, and for nearly ten minutes, her vision was completely black. The bones and internal organs seemed to have been smashed and mixed together, and even her thoughts and ideas were intermittent and incomplete; she could only lie motionless, letting herself be immersed in waves of dark pain, breathing hard. Gas - as if once you relax for one breath, you will never be able to breathe again.

There seemed to be a faint sound next to her ears, but her ears, which were almost deafened by the fall, could not hear clearly at all. After finally waiting for the severe pain to subside, and the black fog in front of her eyes to dissipate little by little, her vision Finally a face appeared.

Perhaps because of being dropped from a high altitude, this human skin has been smashed into a flat shape, and the facial features are flat and misplaced: "Are you awake?"

Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, tried several times, and finally made a sound: "Ling...Queen of Soul...?"

As soon as the other party lowered his head, his twin ponytails and face suddenly hung loosely together, like a fleshy bag.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect your life to be so tough. We fell from such a high place. Good guy, when I was halfway down, I thought, you humans probably won't be able to survive. I'm all alone. of……"

Lin Sanjiu groaned and managed to raise his upper body. As soon as she moved, her brain and eyes suddenly swelled up as if they were going to explode together, and her eyes were all covered with flowers. After she regained her breath, she weakly interrupted the big meat insect: "Li...Li Shanqing and the puppet master are also there." here?"

"Not here." The Queen of Soul replied simply.

"Then...did they enter the metal wall?" Lin Sanjiu had a splitting headache and couldn't remember who was around when he jumped into the metal wall.

"I don't know." The big meat insect adjusted his face, pulled the young girl's face back to its original position, and patted it twice gently: "I jumped in after you, and then whether anyone came in or not, I I no longer know."

"Then... us, where are we now?" Lin Sanjiu asked, pressing her temples. "Did you fall out of the hall already?"

What came out of the Queen of Soul's mouth was a sentence she never expected.

"No, we're at the Olympics now."

There was silence in the air for a while.

Lin Sanjiu slowly took her hands off her temples and looked at the face that finally looked human, feeling that what it said was not human at all: "...what?"

"I said, we are in the Olympics now," the Queen of Soul arranged her face and hair, "Why can't you understand?"

"O-Olympics? That apocalyptic world Olympics? Wait, I haven't reached the deadline yet, how could it be possible..." Lin Sanjiu stammered a few questions, then shook her head violently, "No, no, how do you know? Have we reached another apocalyptic world?"

The Queen of Soul pouted behind her: "Look, it's written clearly on the back."

Lin Sanjiu turned her neck stiffly.

As her field of vision gradually became clearer, the white mist that had just dawned was still billowing like the love of God, so thick that it was impossible to see anything clearly. The peaks of the tall and continuous mountains in the distance were immersed in fog, smeared hazy and turned into a vague duck-egg blue color. From the foot of the mountain, the earth spreads out endlessly, without any grass growing - the soil has been scraped flat, without even a stone. At first glance, it looks like a concrete floor.

On this flat land, not far behind Lin Sanjiu, stood a tall stone tablet. There were words engraved on both sides of the stone tablet. When she got closer and took a closer look, she found that there were inscriptions in several languages ​​on the stone tablet. In the same sentence: "Welcome to the Olympics".

After about a minute, the dents carved into the surface of the stone suddenly swelled up slowly. After the surface of the stone became smooth, new dents sank again - this time the new dents formed a different shape. in several other languages, but it seems that it should still be the same sentence.

She stared at the stone monument for a while.

Impossible, Lin Sanjiu thought in her heart. She had only stayed in the Love of God for only seven or eight months, and there was still less than half a year before the transmission date; besides, she was not transported away this time, but fell from the metal wall in the data flow tube library. Come down——

Could it be that there is more than one metal wall? Behind one wall is the Love of God, behind the other is the Olympics?

What does this mean?

Lin Sanjiu fell hard, and when she thought about it, her brain started to feel dizzy and painful. She took a breath and thought of the gift bag - if he had also fallen, he would have been able to analyze the situation very quickly. What's going on!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look around. At the other end of the distance, there is an endless stretch of high walls; at this time, dawn has just arrived, the sky is still green, and there is no one nearby.

After a while, Lin Sanjiu glanced out of the corner of his eye and discovered that the words on the stone tablet had changed again. What appeared this time was no longer the same welcome speech; the fonts in several different languages ​​had been reduced by more than half, and something was written densely in large spaces - she waited patiently for a while, and finally waited until she Recognized language.

As her eyes stayed on that paragraph of text, the explanation stopped moving, as if she sensed that she was being read.

"In the name of the supreme god Zeus, under his divine light, this planet will continue the glorious tradition of ancient Greece (note 1) and hold the Olympics (note 2) all year round. This competition is solemn and sacred, It should not be ignored or blasphemed, and we hope that all contestants will abide by the rules and compete honestly. This competition has various events, and contestants can freely choose, participate repeatedly, and participate in a variety of events to show God your beauty and fitness."

"The competition will start at sunrise and end at sunset every day. After night arrives, the competition will be temporarily suspended. Participants are not allowed to hurt each other. The natural law of this planet is to abide by all rules in and outside the competition. If anyone violates the rules, he will be punished. Will be punished by the planet. Participants are allowed to have a rest day, but if they have not re-entered for more than three days, they will also be punished. In an atmosphere of honesty, fairness, friendship and freedom, we hope to dedicate glorious results to The great supreme god Zeus.”

"Note 1: Ancient Greece is a place name on a certain planet. The name of the planet is no longer known, but there is reason to believe that it was also one of the divine realms once ruled by the supreme god Zeus."

"Note 2: The Olympic Games have been handed down from ancient Greece. It is said that it was originally a celebration held to worship the supreme god Zeus. However, after lasting for more than a thousand years, the event gradually died out due to earthquakes and other factors. ”

After finally reading this passage, Lin Sanjiu took a few seconds to finally digest its meaning.

This is not the first time she has encountered a situation where she needs to act according to the rules of the game, but most of them are in the dungeon. Now the whole world is a competition - this, this is really unimaginable -

Lin Sanjiu took out a breath, suppressed the turbulent thoughts, and looked up at the light blue mountains in the distance.

She suddenly realized something.

Damn it, isn’t it already sunrise!

So, the game is about to begin? Where to start? What is the project? What should she do now?

For a time, countless questions rushed into her mind like a flood; Lin Sanjiu shook her head vigorously, knowing that there was no time for her to consider the relationship between this world, the love of God, and the data body - there were no more on the stone tablet. message, but that paragraph brought her more questions; after waiting for a while, when she saw "Welcome to the Olympics" floating on the stone tablet again, Lin Sanjiu tugged at the Queen of Soul , turned around and left.

"Wait a minute, where are you going?" The Queen of Soul was thrown hard. As soon as her arm was pulled, the skin all over her body was pulled aside, and it seemed that she could no longer save her face.

"Didn't you see just now? This planet is a big arena!" Lin Sanjiu was in pain all over and couldn't walk fast, so she could barely keep her pace. "I don't want to get involved in this messy competition. Let's quickly find the puppet master and Li Shanqing, and then find a way to get back!"

The Queen of Soul stretched her skin and said: "But where can I find them? What if they don't fall off?"

Lin Sanjiu bit her lip, glanced at the endless high wall in the distance, and suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Puppet Master——! Li Shanqing——!" Her voice suddenly rang out, almost frightening her soul. The queen jumped; her voice echoed slowly under the sky, and was scattered among the faint echoes.

However, after shouting for a long time, no one answered.

Libao's skills are average, so it's still possible that he didn't escape; but how come there's no news about the puppet master?

Thinking about it this way, if something happens to the puppet master, then the gift package...

And if the two of them fell together, how long would the gift bag hold up?

Lin Sanjiu swallowed the anxiety in her throat and tried not to think about the worst-case scenario. There was an open space where she landed, and she didn't know how big it was. Maybe the two people just fell into another place; even if they fell into the same round hole, they might have been blown away by the wind in the high air——

Before this thought could be finished, a sharp and loud horn suddenly blew in the air, quickly spreading to every corner of the world, shaking the earth with a buzzing sound.

One person and one insect were so startled that their hearts skipped a beat. Just as they stopped, the horn suddenly stopped, paused for half a second, and then started playing again. After doing this three times, the high wall in the distance rumbled open to both sides. .

"The 3278th Olympic Games officially begins!"

There was a rich male voice that rang out from nowhere, as if it was coming down from the white mist, and it resounded throughout the land: "Dear players and spectators, the second group stage of the shot put event has been changed. 1 The remaining competition areas have been divided according to yesterday's competition location. Spectators, please leave quickly, and players please gather in their respective competition areas to prepare for the competition. Those who wish to register to participate, please go to the registration point under the wall to register. "

As soon as the voice fell, a large Roman numeral "5" suddenly appeared in the open space next to Lin Sanjiu. This number would appear on the ground every one kilometer. It must be the competition area number. Several neat and distinct lines pressed against the number and divided the earth into several strips. After squinting for a few seconds, she sighed towards the Queen of Soul: "We are standing on the track of a racing competition."

The Queen of Soul stared dumbfounded at the changes that occurred one after another in the distance: the flag was raised, the high bar was set up, and the explanatory stone tablets retracted into the ground... In the blink of an eye, a place that was barren of grass and as quiet as death was transformed. It has turned into a huge competition venue.

Groups of figures poured in from behind the opened high wall, and the voices suddenly became mixed; these people were obviously contestants, and they were familiar with each other and divided into countless groups of people, heading towards their designated competition areas.

Looking at the group of people slowly walking towards the runway, Lin Sanjiu became wary, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net kept a close eye on them, and pulled the Queen of Soul to move aside little by little, intending to go around the crowd and move forward. Walk.

However, her vigilance was all useless - this group of evolvers had different shapes, but they were all in ragged clothes and looked tired. They didn't even bother to look at Lin Sanjiu because she didn't have a player number on her clothes like them.

"Now, what should we do now?" The Soul Queen tilted her head blankly and asked.

Lin Sanjiu raised his head and glanced at the high sky covered with thick white mist.

On her own, there was no way she could fly so high into the sky and leave the entire planet beneath her feet. The only ones who can achieve this are the data bodies and the "gods" of divine love... Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Tell me, what is the relationship between Zeus and the data bodies? Why are they To create this world?”

The Queen of Soul thought blankly for a while, but she didn't have an answer for a while.

Lin Sanjiu sighed.

"Forget it. Anyway, let's leave the competition area first... Let's go to the registration point first."
