Chapter II Identity Card(1/2)
"The arena?" Li Changzhou touched his face and looked out the window in confusion.
White sand beach, breakwater, and trees in the distance stretch across as if they were flattened. This is a seaside road.
The University of Ming Dynasty where Li Changzhou studied is located in Mingcheng, an inland city. The nearest coastal city is Songcheng, which takes an hour and a half by train.
He might have slept for an hour and a half, but there was no way there was a direct bus between the two cities.
"I understand," Li Changzhou put down his hands and folded them on his chest, "It's an illusion again."
"It's not an illusion." Li Qianxia said.
"That's a dream, I'm still sleeping."
The younger sister stretched out her hand and pinched her older brother's arm.
"Hiss!" Li Changzhou bent down in pain and held his arms in his arms.
"Brother, listen to me!" Li Qianxia's expression was solemn.
"You - if you don't pinch me, I can listen to you." Li Changzhou was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
"This is to avenge you for slapping my butt just now." Li Qianxia's expression remained solemn, "Brother, the end of the world is coming."
"The end of the world? Are you going to say, it's the end of the world, the money is useless, and you want me to buy you lunch? And add a bottle of juice?"
"We'll discuss this later." My sister did not reject the proposal directly. "Do you know about the mass extinction of species?"
Li Changzhou gently rubbed his arm. The pain came and went away just as quickly.
At this time, there was a ding and the announcement sounded again in the bus.
(‘59631 Arena’ has arrived at the station, please be careful when opening the door, and please walk away when you get off.)
"Get out of the car first." The girl in the hat said.
Li Qianxia took a deep breath and nodded "Yeah".
Li Changzhou didn't look like a joking sister and realized that something was wrong. In fact, from the first time he saw the human-shaped black mist, he had already realized that something was going to be wrong sooner or later.
But I didn't expect that what was wrong was not him, but the world.
When getting out of the car, Li Changzhou glanced at the driver's seat. There was no one there and the instrument was on by itself.
After they all got off, the bus immediately drove away, leaving them at the stop on the seaside road.
There is no waiting platform, no benches, no commercial or public service advertisements, not even a roof, just a platform with a stop sign.
Quietness, this was Li Changzhou's first impression of his surroundings.
There are no people, no seagulls, no cicadas chirping, even the sea surface is like a piece of glass, still, the sun is burning everything.
"What's going on?" he asked Li Qianxia uneasily.
"Look at the stop sign and you'll understand." It was the girl in the baseball cap who answered him.
Li Changzhou looked at her.
In an instant, he felt that the universe had shrunk. The center of the universe, which he didn't know where, was at this small bus stop, on the girl's body.
She has snow-like skin, slender and delicate limbs, and a neck like a lily, white and elegant.
The waist is slender, and the bulge in the chest is not very large, but the shape is beautiful, as attractive as a peach.
The legs are straight and slender, not very thin, and a bit thinner than plump.
The most charming thing is her eyes, which are crystal bright and open like a dream, so moving.
Unparalleled beauty, cool and charming temperament.
Li Changzhou's expression quickly got rid of the anxiety and tension and became calm and collected. He glanced at the two of them and walked to the stop sign in deep thought.
Behind him, I heard Li Qianxia whisper: "My brother is starting to act cool."
younger sister!
Whose sister are you?!
"I can tell." The girl replied.
wanna die.
Want to jump into the sea.
Li Changzhou calmed down and glanced at the human-shaped black mist that had been standing in front of the stop sign since he got off the bus.
I don’t know where the face of the humanoid black mist is, or whether it has eyes, but in short, it got out of the way and gave its place to Li Changzhou.
Unobstructed by the black mist, Li Changzhou's eyes fell on the stop sign.
[Station name: 59631 Arena]
[Terrain: Deserted Island]
[Conditions for the arrival of the next bus: less than 10 lives on the island]
[Message on life for outstanding performance in this arena]
[Message 1: Evolution or destruction, that is the question (Modern Shakespeare)]
[Message 2: Humans...delicious...ah! (goat)]
[Message 3: Advertising space for rent (Fat Chen will always love Miku)]
"It seems there is no useful information this time." Li Qianxia walked to him.
"Don't have any expectations. In this game where anyone can become an enemy, no one will tell others powerful secrets." The girl in the baseball cap also walked over.
"I know it too, but I still can't help but think about it." Li Qianxia said regretfully.
"You two," Li Changzhou looked at them, "What the hell is going on?"
The center of the universe turned around and explained:
"To put it simply, nature is preparing for the sixth mass extinction of species, and some life forms are selected to prove their worth and gain a chance to survive."
"Are we selected?" Li Changzhou asked subconsciously.
"No, you didn't. It was your sister who was chosen." The girl in the baseball cap said calmly.
Li Changzhou looked at his sister, and then his sister said this reason: "Who gave you kidney failure?"
"I——" Li Changzhou stopped talking, having nothing to say or reply.
"Go on, how to play this game? It doesn't look like you two have participated for the first time. Also," Li Changzhou turned to the girl in the baseball cap, "What's your name?"
"Oh, I finally asked, and I pretended to be casual and put it at the end of a bunch of questions." My sister broke the story.
"I see." The girl in the baseball cap nodded.
"...Can we talk about business?" Li Changzhou hated Li Qianxia.
"You were not selected, but my instinct is "Gemini", and the effect is to be with close people, so I can swipe the card for you, and you will come here."
"By the way," Li Qianxia added, "Qinglan and I pooled our money to buy your ticket. You have to pay it back."
Qinglan, what a good name.
"Yang Qinglan." Yang Qinglan said in person, her tone sounding as if she knew what Li Changzhou was thinking. To avoid misunderstanding, she gave her last name.
"Li Changzhou." Li Changzhou nodded calmly, "No kidney failure."
"You also have an "identity card" now, let's see what your instinct is." Yang Qinglan seemed to have no interest in whether he had kidney failure or not.
""Identify card"?"
Li Changzhou was wondering when his brain suddenly recalled something. They were two things.
At the same time, Li Qianxia explained: "When you come here and you know the concept of "identity card", it will come out by itself. Let me see your instinct!" After saying this, she couldn't wait.
What appeared in Li Changzhou's memory were two cards the size of ID cards, one black and one white.
He first tried to recall the details of the black one, with its matte finish and blue fireworks outlining the text.
