"Hall, Hall, Hall—"
Frequent urgings flew from the sky like devils. Hall raised his head and gave his friend a questioning look, "?"
"Do you come to the bar just to talk with your head down?" Lei Yan complained, "Don't you always look down on people with their heads down the most? You say they are 'like camels buried in the sand.'"
Hall raised his eyebrows, "I just took a look at the information."
"Pfft—" the other party took a sip of wine in disbelief, "Are you kidding me? It's been half an hour, a full half hour, and you've been buried in your 'sand'! The beauty who chatted with you half an hour ago Isn’t it to your taste? You ignored the glass of wine that was handed over to show your kindness, and coldly scrolled through your phone in front of them, are you still a human being?”
"She has bad taste." Hall propped up his chin and said arrogantly, "I don't like this lipstick color."
Lei Yan laughed loudly, "You actually recognize a woman's lipstick number? You simply-" Recognizing her lipstick number has always been a sign that men regard her as a sissy or a wife slave, and it is very shameful to tell it.
"Anyone with a sense of color can easily recognize it." Hall took a sip of wine. "This is a matter of ability and has nothing to do with gender."
Lei Yan: "..."
He almost forgot that this person also liked to paint oil paintings during his creative bottleneck period. He even won an international award and had a very high sensitivity to color. Genius is genius in every aspect.
Lei Yan was depressed.
At this moment, another group of beauties attacked, and Lei Yan knew at a glance that they were coming for Hall. He responded to them enthusiastically and asked other friends who were playing with them to make way for them, opening the door for them to approach Hall.
The beauties pretended to be arrogant, fearing that they would be too warm at the beginning and devalue themselves. They chatted happily with Lei Yan at the beginning, but left Hall alone.
Hall didn't care. He soon became bored and sleepy as they chatted. Lei Yan winked at them desperately, and when he saw him tilting his head to sleep, he cursed in his heart and directly told the beauties his identity.
The profession of "writer" is naturally attractive and full of mystery to the opposite sex.
The beauties let out exaggerated exclamations and began to praise each other.
Hall... unexpectedly accepted it completely, and even felt that his just evaluation of their "brainlessness" was too hasty. Since he was his reader, he thought it still had depth, but he just needed to understand it slowly. No one doesn't like to hear compliments. As a "pretentious" and indeed extraordinary person, it is natural for him to love hearing good words as much as he eats sweets. However, the expression on his face was still calm, as if he was used to it and didn't care.
Lei Yan rolled his eyes in his heart.
"What state will you be in when you write a book?"
"What do you plan to write next?"
"I really like your "ai", but it's a pity that I didn't get an autographed copy. Can you sign one for me?" The beauty with long curly hair lifted her hair sideways, revealing her white bare back and alluring butterfly bones, "Just use lipstick...sign it here." She winked.
Her little sisters looked at her with eyes burning with jealousy. Why didn't they think of this move!
No man can refuse such interest, but just as Hall was slowly preparing to sign, his phone vibrated.
"I'm dead." The screen lit up, and the game villain sent a faint message, "How much are you going to spend to buy my life?"
She is still alive.
His expression relaxed slightly, and he typed with one hand: "￥1"
"Okay, so now I have two lives." She did not care about her worthlessness, "Actually, I just lied to you. Mr. Clown has no fixed time, and I am not dead."
"You push me into the lion's mouth without mercy, and you will suffer the revenge from me."
"But I didn't expect you to be so stupid. Along the way, have you ever encountered any time-limited questions? Hehe, have you?"
The happy tone she managed to trick him into could be heard through the screen.
Hall accidentally pinched off the lipstick.
The beauty's eyes suddenly showed her heartache, and she looked at him with hesitant eyes, as if she suspected that he didn't understand love at all.
"Sorry." He threw the lipstick aside and signed his name on her back with his fingertips stained with lipstick debris. "I just think it's more interesting this way."
The man's fingers felt a little cold, with thin calluses on his smooth back, causing a shiver.
Other women nearby made low sounds. The beauty with long curly hair was fascinated by him. When she looked at him again, she showed a look of determination. The smell of gunpowder in the scene suddenly became extremely strong.
However, Hall's mind was filled with that damn game villain! If she appeared in front of him, he would definitely let her lick the lipstick scraps off his hands clean.
"Sorry, need to go to the bathroom."
Before becoming the trophy between the beauties, Hall stood up indifferently.
In the bathroom, after cleaning the remaining red flakes from his hands, he stood in front of the mirror and calmly asked the villain in the text message:
"Do you have long hair or short hair?"
"short hair."
"What about height?"
"160cm"
"Facial features."
A long message was sent over there, "Skin as white as cream, apricot eyes with double eyelids, black eyes, eyelashes not curled enough, I am also very troubled. Lips are the color of strawberries, small, and the nose is not high. She's not short, but she has three freckles on her side, two on the left and one on the right. Do you like freckles? I don't like freckles very much."
He squinted his eyes, and the image of the character in his mind gradually became clearer. He squinted his eyes to complete the picture in his mind. What would the visual effect be like if she put cherry red lipstick on her lips.
He said slowly: "...I like freckles."
Her chirping was as lively as a real person, not like a character in a game at all, but Hall knew that all this was just the design of the program. Dialogue games were first popular in the 21st century. From picking and choosing to grabbing keywords to trigger conversations, they have developed into increasingly perfect games in the 22nd century.
However, she is more vivid...
"Really? They will be very happy to hear it," she said. "Have you guessed Mr. Clown's riddle?"
"The note with clues, the imperfect clown, and the red balloon." He thought of a key piece of information. The prop itself with the clue note was the second clue, "He is missing the red color." .Is his red nose still there?”
"Wow?!!!" she exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Can you guess this? I deliberately hid the information. He is different from the Mr. Clown we met in the second secret room. He lacks the red nose. It’s not that funny.”
She inadvertently exposed the fact that she had hidden information, and a sneer suddenly appeared on Hall's lips, "Oh?"
"...What did I just send? The signal here doesn't seem to be very good. I mean, I never thought of it before. I just thought of telling you this reminder."
Hall imitated her expression and sent her a ":)" emoticon.
When Hall came back, most people had left, and Lei Yan complained to him: "Why did you come to the bar today?" He thought that the other person was here to relax, and it was a waste of time for him to be his wingman. Unexpectedly, The other person casually flirted with someone and left with his precious mobile phone in his arms, leaving him to face endless questioning from women trying to clean up his mess.
"My creative ideas are not flowing smoothly."
"Which part?"
"Love." Hall said bluntly, "You know, I have no experience in this area."
Hall's novels are full of human nature and various emotions, only love is the part he avoids because he never fell in love. When collecting stories, I listen to people’s various stories, and often I can’t stand their “silliness” when they fall in love, let alone feel the spark of love. But he was in the creative stage of this book, and he rationally believed that adding the rendering of love would make this setting more gorgeous and beautiful.
Lei Yan's expression looked surprised. Hall only thought that he was surprised by his bold attempt. He did not expect that the other party would say: "I thought... you were just sending messages to the girl you like?"
"?"
Lei Yan used his words to mock him: "Isn't it stupid to lower your head and send messages to people in a bar full of romantic encounters?"
"Is he in love with you?"
Pearl saw the camera in the virtual world and heard what Lei Yan said, and couldn't help asking her curiously. When Abe disappeared and suddenly appeared before, it was what reminded her of the situation in Hall. As a result, Abe "ruined" several of his romantic encounters in time.
This is within the PD's authority. It is not illegal to guide the guests appropriately.
The question she suddenly asked made Abe tilt her head in surprise, "How could that be?"
Pearl: "He was so anxious as soon as you disappeared. Isn't that a sign of falling in love with you?"
"How could a real flesh-and-blood person fall in love with a game character? He cares because I established a unilateral connection with him."
She guided Hall step by step, and the conversations in the secret room always hinted to him that he was her only companion, so he would not be able to let her go. When a person is someone you can only rely on and she is in danger, even if you clearly realize that she is data, it is emotionally difficult to abandon her coldly. What's more, Hall is a writer, a writer full of various human contradictions. He seems to be inhumane, but in fact he is sensitive inside. His coldness is just a fortress he disguises, and no one is allowed to enter easily.
But it is very difficult to capture this fortress.
Her fake disappearance this time was, firstly, to test his current attitude towards her, and secondly, to arouse his strong curiosity. Only when he found out that she might "die" suddenly, would he be eager to know everything about her, so she gave detailed and vivid answers to the questions he asked, hoping that this image would deeply Rooted in his heart.
In previous episodes of "To Your Future You", there have been cases where all the guests failed. After all, the characters established are uncontrollable. All emotions and logic are based on their past experiences. They can be left in history. People who make the next move are usually not too simple. Celebrities who are good at acting may not be able to deceive them.
Abe was very calm and did not become complacent because of the change in the other party's attitude.
She said to Pearl: "At least not now."
An initial connection was established in the secret room, but if you wanted to go further, you couldn't stay in that place forever, so after passing a few levels, Abe "led" Hall out of the secret room. When she left, Mr. Clown also gave her a special clown balloon and asked her to tell Hall: "He didn't think that much when he designed the lion's mouth level. Only the mirror corresponds to the correct answer, and the rest are superficial meanings." , The lion hates the whip, and thinks the water is bland and tasteless—"
"Oh, and cat food is included."
Hall: "..."
"Human imagination is really boundless." She lamented, "You can try writing, maybe you can become a good writer."
I'm so sorry, he's just a writer.
Hall just happened to open a "romance novel" recommended by Lei Hao, ready to look for inspiration. Before that, he glanced at his phone, and then... he plunged into a new mini-game.
He remembered that her setting was that of a girl with amnesia, so searching for memories was her "main line". According to the conventional mini-game puzzle method, after clearing a large level, there should be memory clues.
Seeing that she didn't take the initiative to mention it, Hall also figured out a hidden gameplay of this game, which required him to take the initiative to touch the keywords, so he asked: "What did you remember?"
Her: "I remembered I was hungry."
"Where is it in front of you now?"
"It's a playground. It turns out that the secret room is a secret room in a playground."
"Any clues?" He was still stuck in the scene of the puzzle game, and the amusement park he imagined was quite dilapidated and gloomy, and he couldn't help but ponder.
"There are a lot of people, the children are very cute, there is ice cream, popcorn, donuts... it smells so good." She paused, "I'm hungry."
Before this, she had never mentioned hunger. Could it be that the game had been upgraded and the character's attribute bar had been increased
"How can I eat it? Give me clues and hints."
"The clue is ice cream is 10 yuan, popcorn is 15 yuan, and donuts are 20 yuan. Hint: I have no money," she said. "Ask, how can I eat them?"
Hall was still constructing the picture of the information she gave in his mind. Hearing this, he said coldly and critically to the villain who was holding him back: "Robbery."
“…”
“…”
"Ohh Ohh ohh… "
Hall: "?"
"The robbery failed."
Through her stupid practical actions, Hall truly understood her current situation. It seemed that he suddenly went from a puzzle game to a Sims game, or a large-scale puzzle game, because the location spread to the entire city, and her life experience was still unknown.
And this game villain, after leaving the secret room, suddenly turned on various normal human attribute values.
Hall taught her to use the balloons given by the clown in exchange for a donut. After eating, she seemed to wake up from amnesia: "By the way, Mr. Clown also gave me a note. He said that I asked him to keep it for me before entering the secret room. The note was torn off by someone. Yes, it has burrs, and there is an address on it. Is it where I live? It is signed with the word 'AI' on the back."
"My name seems to be Ai." She asked, "What about you, what's your name?"
Louis' team was quite frustrated. In the first episode, they put pressure on the program team and made the other party blur the ending, just because they didn't want the initial failure to show up in front of the fans. If Louis is allowed to defeat the female anchor in the second series, then the shadow of not getting a 10% advantage at the beginning will be nothing.
Unexpectedly, Louis has been unable to surpass the opponent until now. Abe has already achieved 30% progress, while Louis can barely reach 10%.
They don't think there is a problem with their entry point. After the death of Alyssa's brother, Hall really needs a "close" friend, and Louis can completely fill this vacancy. Their plan is to attract attention as fans through "resonance" with the author, and then gradually solve Hall's bottleneck problems and become confidants across time and space. The sparks produced by the collision of wisdom are what fans are looking forward to seeing. .
In fact, the answers to the questions that troubled Hall have been found in the books he wrote. Is there anything simpler than solving the problem with the answer
Analysts in the team said: "It may be that Hall has not yet reached a true low point. The landmark event that will truly usher in Hall's creative low point has not yet occurred. This is part of the plan. Our purpose is to first accumulate emotions in this process. Only when there is a big explosion can there be a leap-forward change. If we jump directly to that time from the beginning, not only will it be more difficult to establish a connection, but the rhythm will also be wrong. This is what we have discussed."
"But the problem now is that the audience may not have the patience to watch that time, and may be led away by the female anchor in the process. By then, she will become the first protagonist's perspective. Even if Louis exerts his strength later, the audience will turn to the female anchor. Worry. That’s too bad.”
"If the problem is just the female anchor, then I have an idea."
After they finalized the plan, they contacted Louis, "Louis, there is a plan that you need to implement personally..."
Staff other than the program team are not allowed to approach the villa, and even communication is supposed to be prohibited. However, when popular celebrities are invited, the program team is well prepared and acquiesces to such basic violations. As long as it is not too excessive, the program team will open the door. Close one eye.
Outside Abe's empty room, a black shadow suddenly appeared.
The program team stipulates that guests must be present for three meals, but at other times, the guests will not lock themselves in their rooms all the time. Whether it is the library, fitness area, or the small garden in front of the villa, there are often people visiting. Abe has changed the scene of the mini-game from the playground to the address on the note, and is searching the room under Hall's guidance.
She decided to go to the library to find some new inspiration, and Pearl naturally wanted to follow her for the shoot.
So at this time, they were not in the room.
The room requires one's ID to be entered in order to open it, but just like the locks in the ancient earth era can usually be picked open by other tools besides keys, Heiying opened the door with a swipe of a card.
He found her special cell phone in front of the bedside table. Since the guests were worried that others would take the opportunity to peek at the contents of their mobile phones, most of them would not take it with them when they left. As expected, its owner did not take it out of the room.
Heiying clicked on his phone and casually browsed the contents. His originally dismissive expression changed slightly, and he gradually became fascinated. A bird chirping woke him up, and he immediately wrote a message based on the above content, imitating the tone of the phone owner, sent it, and then deleted the local record.
A ray of sunlight shone in through the gap in the curtains, revealing Louis' handsome face as carved as a knife.
When Abe returned to the room again, he smelled the lingering smell in the air. Someone had been here. This person was also very careless and did not remove the smell of perfume from his body.
She checked her phone immediately.
In the chat box with Hall, her side was still stuck on her last reply, but Hall's side suddenly received an additional message.
"I really, really hate being lied to."
The author has something to say: The number of words in this chapter, I think it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a double update...!
