Chapter 381: 178: You can't guess who I am.
Nonsense literature helped Zhou Baiyu survive the ordeal.
The next to speak was Huang Miu, a person of great perception. Zhou Baiyu's speech had also inspired Huang Miu.
Huang Miu followed suit and took it to the next level—
"When I am talking to you, you will hear my voice," Huang Miu said.
Little Mantou nodded:
"Yes, yes, this is something she would do to me."
Huang Miu was not very happy.
Because Huang Miu had also realized the problem.
"Jiang Xianwu's method is not bad, useful occasionally to evade questions, but by doing so, there are also unreasonable aspects," Huang Miu said.
"Unless the drawn identity is one that is easy to guess, otherwise talking nonsense is essentially just evasion."
"My identity is that of a butler's child. It is actually a very partial identity. It's very difficult for others to guess it..."
"So I should lead others on, rather than let them continuously guess who I'm pretending to be."
"After all, even I think this identity is outrageous, others will find it even more so."
"But this game hasn't reached the point of guessing identities yet, so it's uncertain... whether there will be a punishment for guessing wrong. I suppose there will be additional rules explained by then?"
"Of course, another downside of talking nonsense is... these rule passengers can also learn this trick."
Huang Miu's mind was fully engaged.
Then it was the old lady's turn.
As an elderly person, she drew a very distinguished role—Little Mantou's mother.
It was a role that seemed to be very close to Little Mantou.
The old lady was a very kind person, accustomed to annihilating her opponents with rules.
That is to give away things.
Giving away the wrong item at the wrong time would mean the passenger who must accept it, would die.
She had long been used to being forthright.
That also caused her to rarely think.
The old lady's first impression was, since she is Little Mantou's mother, she would naturally care about Little Mantou.
So she said with a kind smile:
"I will feel sad when you are bullied."
No mother would neglect her own child, right? The old lady's thinking was very normal.
But this is the apocalypse.
This is version 2.15; humanity had ceased to exist in the year Little Mantou was born.
They were just nobles living in a manor. His bizarre family had various orders at first.
But later on, as resources became increasingly scarce, the order began to reshuffle.
People who were pampered no longer held their noble status. The everyday servants, always doing various manual labor, possessed the strongest physical strength and could venture outside in the apocalypse to find food.
In such a societal structure, those who had the capacity to labor, received respect.
And children... at times, were just resources.
In necessary situations, they could make "chirping" noises.
So the old lady was wrong.
Little Mantou fiercely bit into his lollipop:
"Wrong! This isn't something she would do! Hahaha! You're wrong about me!"
[Target Meng Qiu, disqualified; according to the rules, if there are no chances for error, you will be eliminated!]
A rule passenger got eliminated in the first round?
The old person known as Meng Qiu was at first terrified.
But she quickly calmed down and sighed:
"The day this train gathered us, I knew my end."
"Child, why are you so excited, do you really think you can escape?"
"They are passengers, maybe they have no rules of their own, but they... do not need to be trapped in this train forever like us."
"Cough cough cough..."
"Goodbye, I'll go ahead."
Rule passenger Meng Qiu looked at the conductor, glanced at Carolyn and the baby in her arms.
The baby's gaze even held a hint of melancholy.
The originally extremely excited Little Mantou also became a bit afraid, no longer displaying that moment of frenzy.
"Because of our past actions, specific rules were formed, my life... was about giving things to others."
"So even after the rules were formed, it was the same."
"By killing enough passengers, one could evolve into something even more terrifying..."
"But then what?"
"In the face of that man, we are still trembling; in the face of these passengers, we are still confined to our drawn borders."
"They have their own destinations, they can leave this hell, and us?"
"Hahaha... cough cough cough... there will be no end, death is our only end, hahahaha..."
The old lady Meng Qiu began to laugh loudly.
As she spoke and laughed, her body kept fading away.
Finally, as her body turned to ash, the laughter abruptly ceased.
[Congratulations, you have defeated a rule passenger—the Old Lady who loves to give away things. If you clear more than two rule passengers in this section, you will be upgraded to a VIP passenger and will be able to go to the next VIP carriage.]
[Of course, if your performance is exceptional and you clear enough rule passengers, then you and your squad members will not be hassled by rule passengers for the duration of this trip.]
[Little Mantou's favorability has increased.]
The second attendant's voice rang out.
It only echoed in Zhou Baiyu's mind, without appearing in Huang Miu's mind.
Everyone seemed to still be in shock. They had not expected the old lady to be erased just like that.
But that's how the battle of rules with rules is.
If the old lady's tea egg had been delivered to Little Mantou's hands and Little Mantou had eaten it when not hungry... then Little Mantou would be eliminated, too.
