The Crosson Shows sixth elimination match, haunted house instance exit.

It was dark, and the dust filled their noses.

Their foreheads separated, and Wei s.h.i.+ tilted his head to look at Wu Jin, his eyes sharp like an unsheathed blade

Like an eagle taking one last look at its territory before being banished away.

Rough fingertips rubbed against Wu Jins cheek and neck, like a feather blade hovering around its territory then paused over the healed bite mark on his neck and rubbed slightly at it.

Wei s.h.i.+s actions paused, and his tone was furious, He gnawed on you?

Wu Jin, who was still immersed in sadness,

Wu Jin turned on sophistry mode instantly and explained, No! Its not gnawing! Its kind of just a bite movement made by teeth with little force

Wu Jin stopped suddenly.

Wrong.

The bite marks had been healed completely with the genetic repair agent a few months ago. Little Wei had never seen or touched it, and there was only one possibility

Hed recalled the memory of Big Wei gnawing at his neck.

Wu Jin: !!!

Wait a minute! Wasnt he recalling his own memories!

After this tossing about, Wu Jins IQ finally went online again. The confused, messy thought of my childhood sweetheart and I are being forced to break up, and when we meet again, Ill already have become a new mom was completely swept clean.

Wu Jin corrected him quickly, Youre not disappearing, just

Its just that your schizophrenia is going to be cured!

Wu Jin quickly took out medicine and bandages from his backpack and skillfully bandaged up the big boss. Little Wei raised his chin, his expression angry and stubborn.

Wu Jin soon realized that Little Wei had been present for over 30 seconds. The originally crazy switching of the subconscious had finally stabilized. Wei s.h.i.+s long legs were curled up, his gaze sometimes fierce and sometimes confused. It was probably that he didnt know whether hed been the one to gnaw on Wu Jins neck, or if it was Big Wei, or if Wu Jin himself had somehow twisted his head 180 degrees to do it himself.

Wei s.h.i.+s 16 year old and 27 year old memories had slowly begun to fuse together.

Wu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He also didnt know when the big boss would be able to return to normal, but based on the current situation, he could be basically considered useless. What else could he do? He should protect his own little and big spouse that hed married and taken home!

They could hear the sounds of fierce fighting from inside the instance, but it likely wouldnt take Jingyi very long to complete the task. Based on Caesars behavioral patterns, he could likely even help them count the money even after being sold as a sacrifice by Jingyi, and the scent of blood hadnt yet dissipated from the narrow exit tunnel.

Lets go first, Wu Jin said decisively and helped pull up the injured big boss, Jingyi will be coming out soon.

Two bullets plus a minimal instance clearance time gap had made Wei s.h.i.+s combat power useless. Jingyi was sure to make a profit without much risk.

Wu Jin had no resources for another fight against Zuo Botang. What he could do instead was to clear the elimination match with the big boss as soon as possible.

On their right wrists, the watch showed that there were only two groups, Wu Jins group included, whod finished five entertainment facilities.

Wei s.h.i.+ was propped up by Wu Jin and walked forward two steps before forcibly pulling away and using the wall for support to stand up straight.

It seemed that all genetically modified people werent afraid of pain. Shao Yu had an innate gift for it, but Wei s.h.i.+ managed it through sheer willpower and was extremely strict about controlling his own body.

Seeing this, Wu Jin gently held the big bosss handk2013;k2013;and was soon held in return by a dry and rough palm.

The two of them walked through the long exit corridor.

The corridors were filled with Mayan murals that were covered with lime. The sacrificial offerings were given to the sun G.o.d, and the citizens worked and polished stone and bone utensils beneath the G.o.ds blessing, while their chiefs would take the young warriors out to explore the rainforest.

Wu Jin led the young big boss along and explained the situation, broadening his understanding of the unknown outside of the R-Code Base and imperceptibly helping him restore his memory, The corridor bypa.s.ses the central control area. The style for every survival show is different, and the Crosson Show uses a standard layout with a central axis, similar to the ancient mechanism with pillars in the middle, eight paths in the side, and

Near the end of the corridor was an incomplete Mayan map. Maya was a misnomer given by later generations, but in fact, the Mayan people called themselves the maize people.

They lived near the jungle where maize could be grown, and they fought with the rainforest for nearly 5000 years. In the last Mayan map from the 16th century, their explorations were infinitely close to the depths of the rainforest

Just one step further, and they would have been able to reach their first mineral vein. Then, they would be able to unlock a new branch on the technology tree and turn their fate around, utilizing Mayas unparalleled mathematics, physics, and astronomy knowledge.

Unfortunately, there was no if.

The final mural showed a fleet of monsters from the sea.

Wu Jin looked at the mural while Wei s.h.i.+ looked at Wu Jin.

What then. Little Wei glanced at the mural that showed a story with a beginning but no end.

The Spanish fleet. Wu Jin explained, Several dozen Spanish sailors killed the entire Mayan, Aztec, and Incan civilizations. In order to establish their colony, they gave blankets used by smallpox patients as gifts to the natives.

And then, the plague spread, and three civilizations were wiped out.

In the last mural, the altar of the instance was destroyed, a cross was erected, and Mayan priests were transformed into demons that were burned by holy fire.

So thats how it was. Wu Jin sighed emotionally, The land of the demons. Thats why its a haunted house. After the spread of Catholicism from Spain to South America, the G.o.ds that had been wors.h.i.+pped here became considered heretical and demonic.

Due to their differing beliefs, there were invasions and blood, and captives were dissected on the Mayan altars, while Mayan people who escaped the plague were burned as demons. In fact, the sun G.o.d, Quetzalcoatl, and the G.o.d from various Western beliefs may not have really accepted any of these blood offerings.

At last, the two of them soon came to the end of the corridor.

Wei s.h.i.+ listened as Wu Jin finished the story, then turned to look at Wu Jin.

The soft little shortie was quickly rolling up his sleeves and lifting up his sweaty bangs. He skillfully checked over his combat protection gear, gun, and bullets. Finally, he put away the crossbow and blade, and hung them on his waist.

When Wu Jin looked up again, his aura was very restrained, and his eyes were bright and sharp.

Wei s.h.i.+ stilled.

He was like a little cheetah ready for a hunt.

Lets go to the last itinerary item, the jumping machine. Wu Jin was in high spirits, Lets go, Ill take you to finish the game!

Wei s.h.i.+ stretched out his hand, his face expressionless as he stroked a hand over the small curls. The pain from his memories blending together in the depths of his consciousness reduced slightly.

Wu Jin who had just been full of determination as he made his proclamation immediately covered his head and reiterated, Although Im not that good at fighting, I can still fight a little. Arent you hurt? Im going to take on responsibility for this family

Wei s.h.i.+: Responsibility for this family?

Wu Jin smiled and leaned in. Because his bangs had been pushed up, Wei s.h.i.+ realized that the little shortie hed domesticated was now a semi-grown adult.

Caught between childhood and youth, pa.s.sionate and sharp.

Wei s.h.i.+s gaze slid over every inch of Wu Jin.

There was no boundary between being domesticated and domesticating others.

Wu Jin took advantage of the fact that the big bosss consciousness was stuck at 16 and p.r.o.nounced arrogantly, Lets go!

Defending the cub, last level!

The slanted jumping machine poked out straight from between the mountains in the distance, and the sun overhead meant that it cast an equally straight shadow.

As the sun set, the shadow gradually slanted and lengthened.

The jumping machine sat at the highest alt.i.tude amongst all the entertainment facilities.

On the ridge, there were streams gurgling as they flowed into the river, and the river twisted and branched through the main park before turning into the Nile River, the Euphrates River, and the Yarlung Zangbo River in the various civilization theme zones

The place where it stood seemed to represent the beginning of the history of civilization.

As the sun rose and set, the straight and elongated shadow from the jumping machine became shorter, tilted, and then longer and more slanted

Just like the shadow from a sundial.

Wu Jin checked over their equipment for the last time.

The youth went down on one knee and held down Little Wei, not allowing for any resistance as he pulled up the big bosss combat trousers and applied bandages for his teammate.

The Crosson Shows sixth elimination match, final item, the sundial.

Any civilizations cognition of time began with the rising and setting of the sun. Pendulum clocks, hourgla.s.ses, water clocks, and fire clocks had origins that spread from all over the world, but n.o.body could trace the origin of the sundial.

It existed in the common history of all civilizations.

The jumping machine is the sundials pointer. From behind them, sounds could be heard from the exit of the Mayan instance as Caesar was tossed out of the sacrificial pa.s.sage. Wu Jin led the big boss along the path to the mountain at the back and spoke while walking, Well climb up the mountain from here, sit on the jumping machine, and finish the compet.i.tion. When we get out, Ill take you to eat the handheld wrap that you havent eaten before!

There are many bunkers along the mountain road, so we dont have to be worried about getting sniped by Jingyi. Theyre still one facility short, but we still have to hurry up

Wei s.h.i.+ listened to the little shortie chatter non-stop.

Perhaps because it was the last event in the game; Wu Jin didnt attempt to save his strength at every moment. Instead, he was always focused on Wei s.h.i.+s leg that had been bandaged up to stop the bleeding.

Wei s.h.i.+ suddenly opened his mouth, Why didnt I go look for you earlier in the R-Code Base.

Wu Jin patted the cub. How could he have looked for him? Should two little children whose combat effectiveness was at the lowest level try to escape together? And then get dragged back and destroyed together?

Wu Jin didnt have to think about his reply, Because I found you first.

The setting sun shone over the mountains and the fields. Beneath the 80 meter high jumping machine, the two people shrank into shadows that were melting into each other.

The path from the main park to the back mountain was long and rugged.

Ten minutes later, Jingyi pa.s.sed the Mayan instance and appeared at the exit of the haunted house. They were preparing to go up the mountain as well.

Wu Jin looked at the rankings, There are at least four teams targeting the jumping machine

Wu Jin froze suddenly and lifted his head.

A harsh mechanical sound could be heard from near the top of the mountain. The originally dimmed decorative lights for the jumping machine flickered on, and a row of seats slowly rose up.

Someone has started it! Wu Jin quickly made arrangements, Ill go and take a look. Your leg is injured, so you should take it easy.

Wei s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows and strode forward, sweeping a look full of disdain over his own wound.

Wu Jin: Fine, it was Big Weis leg anyway. Little Wei didnt feel distressed over it at all! Wait a minute, even if he didnt feel distressed, it should still hurt!

However, the big boss moved very quickly, and they soon made their way through the dense forest and hid quietly behind a bunker. The jumping machine was just around the corner

Every part of the 80 meter, red-colored entertainment facility was covered with totems, from the trees that surrounded the sun dial to the three-legged crow holding up the sun, to the beautiful Apollo and the Egyptian G.o.d Ra who stood in the scorching sun.

The entire machine was surrounded by supreme reverence and wors.h.i.+p for the sun and its light.

Its the sundial. Wu Jin concluded.

Beneath the jumping machine was a round marble square. There was a scale at the edge of the square that showed everything from pictographs to holy script to roman numerals and arabic numerals

The jumping machine was located at the center of the circle.

The shadow that was cast by the sun was stuck at the moment of activation.

17:39.

Raphaels teammate was sitting on the jumping machine and rising slowly.

Raphael, who was on the ground, was armed with a gun, and his back was against the bunker they were hiding behind

Wu Jin gestured to Wei s.h.i.+.

You shoot from here.

Wu Jin quickly switched out the small caliber hunting bullet to a shrapnel bullet, Ill pull over his line of fire and force him out of the bunker. Find a chance to suppress him if he comes out. Change to a more natural stancerelax your shoulder and arms, right. Itll be fine, Ill take the pressure from the line of fire.

Little Weis expression was cold, and it was clear that he didnt agree. However, there were countless pieces of memories in his brain that hadnt yet fused together that interfered with his thinking, and his leg injury might slow down his running speed.

In his confused memories, Wu Jin was sitting on a stump hugging his own head.

There was a Wu Jin who was holding a machine gun and was charging ahead.

There was Wu Jin who was feeding carrots to a rabbit.

The Wu Jin in front of him curved his eyes, smiled, and stretched out his fist.

Wei s.h.i.+ finally raised up his own fist in response.

The two fists met in a fist b.u.mp.

Wu Jin picked up the gun, turned handsomely, and charged forth.

Juurensha: Yaaaay, Little Witch, support your family!
