The few new guests who were also paralyzed by fear, brightened at her shout.
They all recognized the speaker as the girl who had previously declared herself to represent “Cyan.”
A complete airhead.
Unlike “Bing Meng Lei,” who was mentally challenged, these people had carefully read the rules before participating in the show.
After all, when encountering a supernatural event, how could one not understand it properly?
So, they had some psychological preparation for the show’s cruelty.
However, psychological preparation was one thing; truly witnessing a bloody scene was another.
To be honest, none of them felt they could face a crocodile directly.
Since they couldn’t face it, they might as well not go down the river to their deaths.
They might not have much else, but surely they had some self-awareness?
Anyway, the game’s rule was best two out of three, and perhaps in the next round, they would have the corresponding color and could cross the river smoothly.
At this moment, “Bing Meng Lei’s” shout sparked other thoughts in a few people’s minds.
What if “Bing Meng Lei” actually succeeded?
Although they knew this was an extraterrestrial game, in the subconscious of these few people, they still adhered to Earth’s rules.
What “Bing Meng Lei” said made sense logically.
This game was indeed a contempt for human life.
If she could persuade the show’s producers, then they wouldn’t have to risk their lives playing the game!
So, even though they knew hope was slim, these few people still looked at “Bing Meng Lei” with encouraging eyes, hoping she would “speak up for justice” and save everyone.
After all, if this matter succeeded, everyone would benefit.
If it failed, only “Bing Meng Lei” alone would bear the consequences.
Why not?
Being looked at by so many people with the eyes of a savior, “Bing Meng Lei” felt a bit light-headed.
She was originally a dropout “little punk” immersed in romance novels, and her family had long given up on her.
She didn’t have a good family background, wasn’t good at fighting, wasn’t that pretty, and her combat power wasn’t high.
Among a group of little punks, she was actually just a small fry.
Normally, she was the kind of ordinary person you wouldn’t notice in a crowd.
Of course, despite this, “Bing Meng Lei” never truly considered herself an ordinary person.
In her heart, she firmly believed that she was the protagonist of this world, just waiting for the plot to unfold.
After all, how similar was she to the heroines in novels!
Just her clear, clean eyes, which she was so proud of, were enough to support the setting of a romance novel heroine!
What’s more, she also had a never-yielding heart of justice.
Weren’t these all standard features of a novel heroine?
Feeling the admiring gazes of the people around her, “Bing Meng Lei” couldn’t help but exclaim that she hadn’t even begun to conquer the world, and she had already gained a group of followers with her own charisma.
Then she absolutely couldn’t disappoint her fans’ expectations!
Flames blazed in her eyes, and she felt like the embodiment of justice.
The “Childhood Games” production team was very humane.
Hearing “Bing Meng Lei’s” shout, the black-robed man arrived as expected.
However, upon seeing this person’s face, his mouth twitched severely—it was that incredible girl again.
As a genuine Nikkelon, he didn’t know the term “Mary Sue” or such character archetypes.
“Bing Meng Lei’s” previous words and actions undoubtedly challenged his worldview.
Now, whenever he saw “Bing Meng Lei,” he felt a headache coming on.
“Bing Meng Lei” saw him approach, straightened her neck, and said righteously, “I believe your show infringes upon human rights! We are all equal, so why should we please you with our lives?”
She felt that as she said these words, her whole being radiated the light of justice.
Seeing the black-robed man remain silent for a long time, she felt even more triumphant.
According to the tropes of romance novels, at this moment, the black-robed man must be thinking, How unique is this girl?
Her adherence to justice is captivating.
However, what she didn’t know was that the black-robed man was actually contacting his superiors, “Can I throw her into the crocodile’s mouth?”
A few seconds later, the black-robed man ended the call and said coldly, “You are all equal, we are not human, so we don’t abide by that.”
“Bing Meng Lei” widened her eyes, clearly not expecting this explanation.
She opened her mouth, somewhat speechless, “But…”
After thinking for a while, “Bing Meng Lei” came up with a new argument, “I will not allow you Nikkelons to insult humans like this! We have dignity! We will never submit to your rule!”
Look, look! “
How profound and righteous she was! “Bing Meng Lei” felt the light of justice that had just extinguished on her body rekindle, and the red scarf on her chest became much brighter.
The black-robed man reacted quickly, “Then you can choose to stay still. You can leave the production team after three game failures. Please read the program rules carefully.”
“But my spirit has been harmed!”
“Bing Meng Lei” said indignantly.
After seeing such a scene of crocodiles eating people, she felt her spirit was no longer pure, and there were stains in her clear eyes.
Her words made someone nearby whisper, “You’ll lose your memory after leaving the show, it won’t contaminate your noble soul.”
The black-robed man glanced at him and repeated his previous words, “Please read the program rules carefully.”
“Bing Meng Lei” also heard what that person said, but she felt no shame.
Instead, she became even more indignant, “These are my precious memories, why can you just delete them? You are disrespecting our human rights!”
Another string of question marks floated across the screen.
Didn’t you just say you didn’t want this scene to pollute your mind?
Now that you’re getting amnesia, you’re saying this memory is precious and shouldn’t be erased.
“Oh my god, I’m just saying, oh my god!”
“Having your cake and eating it too, saying both good and bad things?”
“Is this the legendary Earthling? I’m impressed.”
“Others aren’t like this, are they? Look at the eyes of those few people around, they’re looking at her like she’s an idiot.”
While they were entangled there, Su Yan and “Brother Hu” in the distance naturally noticed this scene.
Because they were too far away, they couldn’t hear what was being said. But at least Su Yan recognized the “Cyan girl.”
“That girl in the middle… she’s the one who said she represented cyan earlier, right?”
Her face was full of a strange, almost-smiling expression.
This girl was truly something; she wondered how she even got in.
“Brother Hu” nodded, affirming, “It’s her. I’d remember her even if she turned to dust. Not many people can make me laugh, and she’s one of them.”
Su Yan let out a chuckle, “I really admire everyone’s ability to hold back their laughter. It was impressive that no one burst out laughing at that time.”
“I wonder how she got in. The initial assessment for this show is quite difficult. Could it be that this girl had some kind of lucky encounter?”
“Brother Hu” asked, puzzled.
Su Yan remembered her own difficult assessment and couldn’t help but wonder about this too, “Could it be a glitch? But speaking of…”
She suddenly fell silent, her eyebrows raised, having thought of something peculiar.
“Brother Hu” looked at her, confused, “What’s wrong? What did you think of? Why did you suddenly stop talking?”
Su Yan smiled, “Nothing, just… I wonder if that girl can pass.”
“How could she?”
“Brother Hu” laughed when he heard this, “You’re really overestimating her. With that kind of bizarre thought process, she’ll probably be a one-round wonder. Don’t tell me you lack even that much judgment?”
Su Yan raised an eyebrow, lowered her head, and smiled without speaking.
She had actually lied just now; she had indeed thought of something.
From what she could see, this girl absolutely could not have gone through a normal test.
Otherwise, even with a great expert guiding her, she wouldn’t have gotten in. If that were the case, her roommates would have gotten in too.
The only logical explanations were that “Bing Meng Lei” had entered due to a glitch, or some unexpected event allowed her to pass the test on her own.
But more importantly, looking at her, she clearly had no idea about the dangers of the game.
However, the test clearly contained very dangerous elements, so why was she completely unprepared?
This could only mean one thing—for some reason, she passed the test without encountering any danger at all.
Su Yan remembered that lock.
If she hadn’t opened it then, she probably wouldn’t have encountered any danger.
“Bing Meng Lei” might be in a similar situation.
She raised one eyebrow, looking at “Bing Meng Lei” across the river with a knowing gaze.
Passing the test unscathed on her own—wasn’t that a key indicator for getting the beginner’s gift package?
***
The one-sided argument continued.
“Bing Meng Lei” earnestly said, “We are all in the same universe, shouldn’t we love each other? If you enslave us now, in the future, others will enslave you! When will this cycle of vengeance end?”
She felt that what she said was very sincere, and with the charisma of her protagonist’s halo, wouldn’t others immediately revere it as profound truth?
Unfortunately, she had no protagonist’s halo.
The black-robed man remained cold and ruthless, “You get 100,000 for winning a round and lose nothing for losing. This is employment, not enslavement. Please read the program rules carefully.”
The comments section was already accustomed to “Bing Meng Lei’s” surprising remarks and found it quite amusing.
“Sorry, I feel so bad for Lord Black Robe, hahahahahahaha!”
“Please read the program rules carefully, he must be tired of saying that already.”
“No way? No way? No way? Does anyone really not read the rules before entering the game?”
“Everyone, let’s type ‘Please read the program rules carefully’ in the public chat.”
“Please read the program rules carefully.”
“Please read the program rules carefully.”
“Please read the program rules carefully.”
After saying this, the black-robed man didn’t bother to say anything more.
“You choose for yourself, then read the rules after you leave.”
With that, he fled the scene as if escaping.
“How could he be like this!”
“Bing Meng Lei” muttered discontentedly.
She stuck out her tongue, thinking it was very cute, and complained to the person next to her, “Why is this person so cold? Aren’t rules set by people? Why can’t they be flexible? Doesn’t he have any compassion?”
The person thought, compassion for whom?
For this idiot?
He had enough sympathy for himself!
Thinking this, the boy moved further away, afraid of being infected by stupidity.
He wondered if it could be reversed if he really got infected.
“Bing Meng Lei” sighed. She knew her most excellent quality was perseverance. Although she was facing setbacks now, if she backed down, then she wouldn’t be worthy of being the protagonist!
Thinking this, “Bing Meng Lei” gritted her teeth and, to everyone’s astonishment, entered the river alone.
Everyone was shocked; they never imagined “Bing Meng Lei” would have such courage.
And because they had spent time on the shore earlier, there were no other guests in the river at this time, leaving her alone to face eight crocodiles.
“Bing Meng Lei’s” expression was resolute, with a sense of “The wind sighs, the Yi River is cold, a brave man gone returns not.”
To others, this was a living sacrifice—feeding oneself to the crocodiles.
Everyone, including those on both sides of the river and the Nikkelon audience, watched “Bing Meng Lei,” wondering how she would cross.
The crocodiles also stared at her menacingly, ready to pounce directly.
