57, Chapter 57(1/2)
After discussing it for a long time, Lai Yang's wish was finally granted.
It wasn't that Lu Sixian suddenly overcame his psychological barrier, but that he understood that there was no frightening part in the death examination hall, it was just a combination of game and experience.
It happened that Tong Ran wanted to prepare for the China Magic Cup, so he readily agreed.
A group of six people didn't want to take a bus, so they simply took the subway.
Although the athletes all wear regular clothes, their body shape and mental outlook are different from ordinary people, and the return rate along the way is very high.
The people arrived a quarter of an hour earlier than the appointment time, and a staff member took them to the waiting room.
There was a man and a woman sitting in the room, both holding pens and writing something unknown.
"These two are your companions, and there are four guests who will arrive later. Later, the twelve of you will participate in the death experience journey together," the staff gave them a brief introduction after a brief introduction.
A piece of paper and an envelope, "Please fill out the death questionnaire, fill it out and put it in the envelope. Remember to write your own name ."
Tong Ran glanced at the contents of the questionnaire and found that there were only three questions.
1, If you only have half of your life left, what will you regret most?
2, If you only have half a hour left in your life, what would you most like to do?
3. Please use one word to summarize your life.
Soul torture...
Tong Ran found a seat and sat down, turning her pen and thinking.
What he regretted most and what he wanted to do most were not difficult at all for him. He immediately wrote down the answer in a vague expression that only he could understand.
As for the last question...
His life has been cut apart. The two periods of life have completely different focuses and are not related at all. How can he summarize them?
The guests were all here, but he still couldn't think of an answer, so he simply left the question blank and stuffed the questionnaire into the envelope.
Soon after, a staff member came and collected the envelopes and took them to the Oath Hall.
The hall is not big, with mirrors on all sides. It is very similar to Tong Ran's plug-in practice room, except that there is an electronic LED screen in the middle, and two lines of words are displayed on the screen -
I am willing to explore the many mysteries in life and even question death with my own body.
I promise to be sincere, brave and open-minded, and find my true self on the journey.
"Please press your fingerprints on the oath wall in turn, then go through the corridor behind the door and go to the Soul Pavilion."
Following the staff's prompts, Tong Ran opened a door behind the oath wall, and the light dimmed instantly, leaving only the interactively projected Bana flowers under her feet and a phantom butterfly in the air.
"Why don't you leave?" Lu Sixian asked strangely when he saw Tong Ran stopping at the door.
Tong Ran just thought it was pretty good-looking, but before he opened his mouth, Gao Ming squeezed in and said, "Is my brother scared? If he is, he can hold his brother's hand - oh shit! Brother Lu, Lu Si
Xian, let go!"
"Didn't I hold your hand because I was afraid?" Lu Sixian said without any emotion, "Why, I'm not worthy?"
Gao Ming angrily: "Are you afraid? You are afraid of a ghost!"
Tong Ran: "..."
My friend, you know the truth.
The corridor is not long, and the group quickly arrived at the Soul Pavilion.
Twelve chairs form a circle in the museum, with a round table in the middle.
"Welcome to the Soul Pavilion. I am the host. In the next two hours, I will explore the soul with people I have never met before and start a spiritual journey." The woman's gentle voice came from the speaker.
The voice said, "There are 12 voting machines on the round table. Please choose one. Press the home button to see your number. Please find the corresponding seat according to the number."
Tong Ran got the number 6, and Lu Si Xian sat opposite him, presumably the number 1.
"Since we are destined to travel together, please introduce yourself. You don't have to say your name, age or real identity. You just need to let everyone remember you." The host said, "Let's start with No. 1.
start."
Lu Sixian: "I am No. 1."
Everyone: "..."
The host seemed not to be surprised and calmly guided: "Next person."
The others were not as uncooperative as Lu Sixian, and their answers were quite satisfactory. When it was Tong Ran's turn, he half-jokingly said that he was studying at a magic academy and was currently at level 12.
There were bursts of laughter in the room, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
After a round of self-introduction, the host asked everyone to select the "most impressive" and "most vaguely impressed" testers, and sent their numbers to the "spiritual platform" through the voting machine.
"In this link, the person who experiences the weakest sense of existence will enter the passage of impermanence alone and face the double death of body and society."
Tong Ran's memory was so good that he could even repeat what everyone said, so he voted both for Lu Si Xian.
The final result had nothing to do with Lu Sixian. The girl No. 9 was eliminated, and the most impressive tester was Tong Ran herself.
"The prerequisite for exploring the soul is to open the mind," the host said slowly, "In the next session, I need everyone to recall an embarrassing incident, an embarrassing incident that will embarrass you whenever you think of it, starting on the 6th."
Tong Ran: "..."
To be honest, he is so thick-skinned that he doesn't get embarrassed easily. The last embarrassment seems to be related to Lu Sixian, compared to when he was grabbing a cell phone today...
But it was not easy for him to talk about this kind of thing, so he said perfunctorily: "I missed the bathroom."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sneer. Tong Ran gritted her teeth. She knew who was laughing at him without even looking!
Fortunately, the host had no objection to this and ordered the next person.
Number 7 on Tong Ran's left is a burly boy with tattoos all over his arms and chewing gum in his mouth. He said nonchalantly: "I connected my headphones to watch porn when I showed the boss the store, but I forgot to turn on Bluetooth.
, a beautiful woman couldn’t stand it and reminded me.”
The room fell silent, and even the calm host was silent for a moment, "...No. 8."
It was Gao Ming's turn on the 8th. He had not recovered from the shock given by the boss on the 7th. He took a moment and said shyly: "I once mistakenly identified a boy's gender, but now I feel that the boy is very...
cute……"
Everyone in the team except Lu Sixian started to boo, and everyone else laughed in good faith.
Tong Ran laughed along and didn't take it seriously - there were too many people who had a good impression of him, let alone just a good impression.
The three people after Gao Ming were all girls. They seemed embarrassed and talked about insignificant things.
The host never questioned whether it was true or not. He would click on the next person after he finished speaking. When the number 1 was called, Lu Sixian said casually: "I don't have such a thing."
Gao Ming: "How is that possible! Everyone will be embarrassed, unless you are not human!"
Lu Si Xian actually didn't quarrel with him, but stared at Tong Ran and said, "Then go into the bathroom."
Tong Ran: "..."
So during the second round of voting, Tong Ran thought about it and voted for Lu Sixian without thinking. He firmly believed that Lu Sixian would definitely be voted out because of his attitude!
But things went against expectations and the tattooed man No. 7 was eliminated. He sneered at and left the scene without looking back.
"In the three rounds of the game, I will tell you a story. The name of the story is called the meal of death. A woman gave some food to a man. After a while, both of them died." The host.
His voice was still unhurried, as if it had been programmed, "Excuse me, why is this?
"Starting from the 8th, you can take turns asking me questions to get clues. The person who guesses the answer first will have the right to be eliminated in this round."
"Were they poisoned by food?"
"no."
"Are their deaths related to food?"
"related."
"Did they choke to death?"
"no."
"Are they a couple?"
"yes."
…
Everyone's questions came one after another, but because there were too few clues and too many blank spaces in the story, everyone still had no clue after all the rounds, until Lai Yang asked the key question——
"Is a period of time a long time?"
"long time."
Lu Sixian's eyes moved slightly, "Did they die of old age?"
"Yes."
"The man is Adam, the woman is Eve, and the food they eat is the fruit of wisdom."
"The answer is correct, please choose the tester you want to eliminate."
Lu Sixian glanced at Tong Ran intriguingly.
To be continued...
