"no."
"You guess."
The two of them had a tacit understanding this time, and they replied in unison, but their tone was completely different.
Ren Li's face darkened, looking at Pei Jingling with a playful tone, he said seriously, "Speak well."
Pei Jingling was not afraid of Ren Li's sternness at all, and dared to look at Deputy Commander Gu with a raised eyebrow and said in a meaningful tone: "Just based on your question, I think it was a correct decision not to really give you a shot just now."
Deputy Commander Gu twitched the corners of his mouth: "...Yes, yes?"
Then I really thank you.
Ren Li's face darkened, and he pushed Pei Jingling away from his shoulders.
He pressed his shoulders to make him sit up straight, took his legs off the table, frowned and said, "How dare you laugh?! Every day, sitting or not standing, standing or not!"
He glanced at Deputy Commander Gu coldly again, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was cold: "Put away your curiosity and ask less irrelevant questions."
Deputy Commander Gu is now OOC, and he is counting on them to clear customs. He didn't dare to reply when he was scolded. He clenched his fists and said patiently, "...Okay."
Ren Li stood up and sat down to the side, a little further away from Pei Jingling.
Ignoring the little pity in Pei Jingling's innocent eyes, he continued to say with a stern face: "The third question, is your appearance your own?"
Deputy Commander Gu opened his mouth and was about to answer when Pei Jingling tilted his head to look at Ren Li and said, "Definitely not, because Lieutenant Colonel Li's appearance has not changed, which means that their appearance is the same as the NPC in the game."
Ren Li looked at Pei Jingling, and Pei Jingling immediately raised his eyebrows at him, smiled sweetly, and looked terribly well-behaved.
He coughed lightly, "What about Liu Xiaoyu?"
"He's on our side, and he's not the NPC he's playing. After he's out, the real NPC will take his place, so he doesn't grow up with the NPC..." Pei Jingling said and paused, Ren Li's eyes suddenly darkened.
Pei Jingling frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Wait a minute, role-playing. Players and NPCs, players who play roles, players who play NPCs..."
After pondering for a while, he raised his eyes to look at Ren Li, "Well... I suddenly seem to have a clue about the thinking direction of the background of this game dungeon."
Ren Li nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Me too."
Deputy Commander Gu watched the tacit dialogue between the two of them, reasoning like an encrypted dialogue, and took a sip from the teacup in front of him expressionlessly.
He didn't feel that he had any "cooperation" relationship with them at all - because he was completely unnecessary, and he even wondered why they forced him to OOC just now? !
Pei Jingling looked at Deputy Commander Gu and raised his chin slightly: "So 'Deputy Commander Gu' should look different from your own, right?"
Deputy Commander Gu nodded indifferently: "Yes."
Ren Li leaned against the back of the sofa and continued to ask, "The fourth question, where was the player who played Liu Xiaoyu taken to the execution at midnight on the first night?"
Deputy Commander Gu finally learned his lesson this time, and instead of answering first, he looked at Pei Jingling very consciously.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jingling also looked at him, lay lazily on the sofa, and blinked: "Look at what I'm doing, I don't know that."
Deputy Commander Gu: "..."
Are you kidding me? !
Abruptly suppressed the urge to draw a gun and fight them to the death, he said with a sullen face: "The gate of the city."
Ren Li frowned: "Why?"
Deputy Commander Gu looked at Ren Li, and said helplessly, "That's how the game stipulates, to bring your bodies to the city gate, how do I know why?"
After a pause, he sighed, "Forget it, don't ask questions one by one, I'll tell you all. Our clearance condition is 'discover the truth', and the normal achievement is that the shorter the time spent here, the more points The more, the extra achievement is to kill you players."
"OOC can only be done when you are executed at midnight. At other times, you must act according to the plot released by the system. Even after you die, you must act according to the system's instructions."
Deputy Commander Gu pressed his eyebrows and gave a wry smile: "To be honest, we don't know the 'truth' at all. I think that with the role-playing games in those low-level dungeons, in addition to dealing with you, I really feel that There is no difference."
"So many players and I plan to get more points for other tasks, anyway, earn the points deducted from the failure to clear the customs first, and then directly OOC and leave the game."
It's a pity that they were so unlucky that they were killed before they even killed anyone...
Ren Li and Pei Jingling were silent for a while, thinking about something.
Pei Jingling stood up first, looked at Deputy Commander Gu, narrowed his eyes, and said with a long smile: "You have been judged OOC now, right? And you know who is in the same camp as you, right?"
Deputy Commander Gu looked at his smile, feeling inexplicable in his heart, and nodded hesitantly.
Pei Jingling nodded with satisfaction, looked at Ren Li with bright eyes, and said with a smile, "Brother, our points have been settled!"
How could Ren Li not know what Pei Jingling was thinking, he also stood up and said helplessly, "Anyway, I can't forget your points. Now you will earn more."
Pei Jingling's peach blossom eyes twitched into a smile, the corners of her mouth were grinning, her chin was slightly raised, and she seemed to be out of breath.
Ren Li reached out and rubbed his hair indiscriminately with a look of disgust.
Only Deputy Commander Gu was left dumbfounded.
Then Ren Li put his hand away, walked to the desk, and took out a pen and paper from it.
He walked towards Deputy Commander Gu, threw the pen and paper in front of him, and said solemnly, "Write down all the identities of the players on your side."
Only then did Deputy Commander Gu understand what they were going to do. Is he planning to come to the door one by one to let them earn points by OOC? !
Too brutal, right? !
Deputy Commander Gu's mouth twitched, but he didn't move for a while.
Pei Jingling also came over, took out the gun attached to Ren Li's waist, loaded it and pointed at him, all at once.
"Would you like to guess again..." His eyes narrowed slightly and he chuckled, "Is there any bullets in this gun?"
Deputy Commander Gu: "..."
When Ren Li and Pei Jingling got the list and walked out of the office, Deputy Commander Gu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a look of hopelessness.
If time could be reversed, he would definitely not provoke these two perverts!
Ren Li and Pei Jingling acted resolutely, and immediately attacked the players in the military, especially the officers yesterday.
The way to force them to destroy the character design is nothing more than coercion and inducement, and Ren Li and Pei Jingling can OOC casually, but they can't, the so-called "barefoot" who are not afraid of "wearing shoes", the process is not difficult.
The two people who didn't come last night and the two people who finally confronted Pei Jingling saw their faces, and their mentality collapsed a little, and it was relatively smooth.
If you are really "reluctant to resist", get started directly.
After all, pain is the hardest thing to bear.
After Ren Li and Pei Jingling dealt with the few people in the military department, they went out of the military department gate, ready to find others.
Ren Li glanced at the string of names on the list, and said solemnly: "Is this too much hatred? Now we are our own appearance, but they are not, we are in a disadvantageous position."
Pei Jingling shrugged: "It doesn't matter, if we meet again—if it's a killing dungeon, I have to kill those who don't want to kill me. If it's a cooperative dungeon, I can't kill anyone who wants to kill."
Bowing his head and reloading the bullet in his hand, he said casually: "Besides, as long as we are strong enough, we don't have to think about it so much."
Ren Li pinched his cheek: "You think clearly."
Pei Jingling smiled and said casually, "Someone taught me before."
Ren Li's eyes sank slightly, I didn't know anything about your past.
Withdrew his hand, his face was still as flat as usual, and said in a low voice: "Then let's go, and we can learn more clues by the way. Especially get information from players who participated in the midnight execution on the first night."
Unexpectedly, Pei Jingling stood there and shook his head: "Brother, let's split up this time."
Pei Jingling suddenly proposed to act separately, causing Ren Li to pause, frown slightly, and said solemnly, "Aren't you going to be with me?"
Pei Jingling shook the list in his hand, with a natural expression, and said with a smile: "There are too many people, so the efficiency will be higher."
"High efficiency?" Ren Li's expression was solemn, "You still can't get the points I've taken away?"
"But together, we get similar points."
Then Pei Jingling tore the paper in half and handed it to Ren Li, smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly, "It just so happens that my brother and I can compare to see who gets more points."
Ren Li took the list and looked at Pei Jingling with narrowed eyes.
Pei Jingling approached Ren Li, breathed lightly on his auricle, and said with a low smile, "Brother, are you more and more reluctant to bear me?"
Ren Li turned his head to avoid his breath, pursed his lips, and said solemnly, "Remember to go back at five o'clock in the afternoon."
Pei Jingling nodded, called a rickshaw by himself, said goodbye to Ren Li with a smile, and blew a kiss.
Ren Li looked at Pei Jingling's smile, his eyes darkened.
The two parted ways.
When Pei Jingling couldn't see the car that Ren Li was driving, he suppressed the smile on his face and said to the driver in a low voice, "Don't go there, go to Deputy Commander Gu's house."
The driver responded and pulled Pei Jingling to the other direction of the fork.
"Sir, here we are."
Pei Jingling got out of the car for the money, looked at the luxurious small western-style building in front of him, squinted his eyes, and walked straight inside.
"Hello, what's the matter with you?" The servant stopped Pei Jingling and looked at him in a military uniform with a very respectful attitude.
Pei Jingling's face was very cold, her voice was a little cold, and she said in a low voice, "I'm here to find Gu Huaijing."
When the servant heard him calling his young master's name, he was not sure, so he quickly sent someone to ask the housekeeper for advice.
But instead of waiting for the housekeeper, he directly waited for "Gu Huaijing" himself.
Qin Shuyu looked at Pei Jingling standing outside the gate, stunned for a moment, then his face became surprised, and walked out quickly: "Why are you here?"
"You came to me on the first day, but I never found a chance to come to you." Pei Jingling smiled a little, "It's really been a long time since I met my old friend, I want to chat with you, okay? ?"
Qin Shuyu smiled, and while welcoming him in, he said with a smile: "Of course you can, what is this called, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, one of the four great joys in life."
Sitting in the living room, Qin Shuyu sent all the servants away, leaving only him and Pei Jingling.
Pei Jingling chuckled lightly: "I have settled overseas, but my speech has become more refined?"
Qin Shuyu smiled heartily: "Hey, you don't know your own culture until you go abroad."
Poured a cup of tea for Pei Jingling, sat down and said with a smile, "Why didn't Brother Li come with you?"
Pei Jingling's eyes flickered, and he chuckled lightly: "He's looking for game clues, and I just came to chat with you when I have time."
Qin Shuyu raised his eyebrows and jokingly said: "You two have always been inseparable from Mengmeng, but he is willing not to take you with him?"
Pei Jingling narrowed his eyelashes slightly, drank a sip of tea, and said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you before? His temper has become bad during this time, and he gets angry easily, so please don't mess with him. God is too lazy to mess with him."
Qin Shuyu seemed to think of the scenes when he asked Ren Li to talk to him a few times before, and said with disgust: "It's really not good, it's like having a gun battle."
After a pause, he looked at Pei Jingling and deliberately looked him up and down, "But your personality seems to have changed a lot."
Pei Jingling looked a lot more relaxed, propped her head with her hands, and said with a smile, "Is there any?"
Qin Shuyu nodded affirmatively: "You used to be stupid in my mind..."
Several pillows were thrown over and hit Qin Shuyu. Pei Jingling laughed and scolded, "What stupid white sweet."
"Smart white sweet, smart white sweet... Okay?" Qin Shuyu smiled and raised his hand in surrender, "Who told you that you looked so soft and deceitful before, and especially loved red eyes. When Brother Li was chasing you, I felt that He's kidnapping children."
With a serious tone, "To be honest, when I went to find you that night, I thought I would scare you into tears again, but I didn't expect that I was almost strangled to death by you. I almost thought I recognized the wrong person."
Pei Jingling blinked: "Have I cried so easily before?"
"Want to deny it?" Qin Shuyu snorted twice, "I remember Brother Li used to call you 'Squeamish Little Crying Bag' in private."
Pei Jingling narrowed his eyes, sat up straight, and said in a dangerous tone, "Huh? Why didn't I know?"
Qin Shuyu was taken aback by his sharp eyes, and hurriedly explained: "I just met you and didn't know your name. I promise, Brother Li is definitely not mocking you, he is 100% called by his nickname. Tsk tsk tsk, you didn't see that doting look in his eyes when he mentioned you... I got goosebumps just looking at it."
Pei Jingling leaned back on the sofa again, touched his neck with his hand, and lowered his voice a bit: "I just met... It's been so long ago..."
"Not long." Qin Shuyu took a sip of tea and said strangely, "Isn't that what happened three years ago."
Pei Jingling shook his head gently, noncommittal.
His eyes became distant, as if he was recalling something, "Maybe I really like to cry, that's why he told me 'if you cry, I will blame myself first' to coax me."
Pei Jingling paused and chuckled, "It's really numb."
But it works.
Even though he really caused his tears yesterday, he still covered it up and didn't want him to know.
Because he knew that he would definitely panic, feel guilty, and maybe lose control because of his tears.
Obviously can earn enough of his pity, but still... I can't bear his heartache.
Pei Jingling's eyes darkened slightly, Qin Shuyu clearly felt his mood was lower, and leaned forward: "Little Elf, what's the matter with you?"
Pei Jingling looked up at him, shook his head slightly, and smiled lightly: "It's nothing, just thinking that he hasn't said something nice to coax me for a long time, I'm a little angry."
"Hey, he's just like that, he's going to die." Qin Shuyu thought it was a big deal, so he leaned back on the sofa and waved his hand, "When he took the initiative to talk to you, I thought he was taken away. you know."
"Before I met you, I didn't see any expressions on his face, and he didn't speak in a tone."
Pei Jingling chuckled lightly, and now brother Li still has the same attitude towards foreigners.
The two seemed to be old friends whom they hadn't seen for a long time, and they chatted a lot about the past.
Pei Jingling's eyes became more and more gentle, and the whole body was softened and softened by the past events.
Leaning on the corner of the sofa, with his hands on his neck, and a smile on the corner of his mouth, he seemed to be in a good mood.
The atmosphere was very good. They talked from the first meeting to the last time they met before Qin Shuyu went abroad.
After talking for a long time, I was finally willing to stop.
Qin Shuyu's throat was a little dry, so he took a sip of tea, and then seemed to remember something: "Oh, by the way, after talking so much, I almost forgot to ask you."
Pei Jingling: "Huh?"
Qin Shuyu stared at Pei Jingling with wide eyes: "what happened yesterday when you and Brother Li were outside the office? He was so angry that I asked him if he had a quarrel, and he ignored me."
He probably remembered what Pei Jingling told him about Ren Li's bad temper during this time, and frowned, "You said that he has a bad temper recently, isn't it because you are really quarreling?"
Pei Jingling blinked, wasn't it when he "played hard to catch" and left...
At that time, the fire was probably because he was angry with himself.
As for bad temper...
The curvature of the corner of Pei Jingling's mouth lowered slightly, his smile faded, and he said calmly: "There is no quarrel, but there is a little disagreement on some things."
Qin Shuyu hugged a pillow and asked with concern, "Ah? What's the matter?"
Pei Jingling frowned slightly and did not answer.
Qin Shuyu looked at Pei Jingling's instantly cold expression and asked hesitantly, "... elf?"
Pei Jingling raised her eyes to look at Qin Shuyu, the smile on her face subsided: "I don't want to talk about the current affairs."
"Why?" Qin Shuyu looked at Pei Jingling puzzled, "Why don't you and Brother Li let me ask about the current situation, you won't have an emotional crisis, will you?"
Pei Jingling paused, looking at the concerned expression on Qin Shuyu's face, he suddenly felt that his behavior was a bit funny.
Just in order to seek the recognition of past memories, he ran to Qin Shuyu without telling brother Li.
He was also acting tacitly with him - as expected of a copy of the role-playing genre.
Qin Shuyu probed the probe and waved: "Hey, Jingling?"
Pei Jingling breathed a sigh of relief and got away from the atmosphere of the past.
He sat up from the sofa, sat up straight, looked at Qin Shuyu, and said calmly, "I just came to you to recall the past. Although I don't know what your purpose is, I still thank you for your cooperation."
"... match, match what?"
Pei Jingling's soft emotions just now completely disappeared, and the aura of his body turned into the coldness of facing outsiders, and said indifferently: "You are the executive officer of this copy, right?"
Qin Shuyu was stunned for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth, and smiled reluctantly: "Ah? Elf, what are you talking about?"
"Did you choose to become a player to come to us after Brother Li got out of control over the soul contract on the first night and felt the breath from the senior executive?"
Pei Jingling's eyes were like torches. Although it was a question, his tone was confident enough.
Qin Shuyu looked at Pei Jingling, the reluctance on his face gradually faded.
After all, they knew each other, and when he heard Pei Jingling say this, he knew that Pei Jingling must have enough evidence to prove it.
Pei Jingling took out the hand gun on his waist and played with it, and he continued: "From the perspective of the game copy, you are currently appearing as a 'our player', which means that you are the same as us, starting the game. No information, just know that you can't OOC this."
"If the game starts and you are in the theater when you gather in the theater. Without knowing any information, in order not to OOC, you should only enter the theater as we are in the game. "
"You are the son of Deputy Commander Gu, with a rank as high as a lieutenant colonel. If you go to the theater, it is impossible not to cause a stir."
"You're still so smart, and now you can use it with ease." Qin Shuyu smiled casually, "But what if I didn't go the usual way, just to be on the safe side, I chose to sneak into the theater and hide from the beginning?"
Pei Jingling's hand touched his neck again, and after a few seconds of silence, he unbuttoned the two buttons on his jacket and shirt, and picked out a silver chain from his neck.
"Remember this?"
Qin Shuyu nodded: "I remember, didn't we chat just now? This is the silver chain you bought to wear the ring."
"Well..." Pei Jingling narrowed her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Brother Li gave me a ring, but because I was in poor health at the time, I lost weight very quickly. The ring was too loose to wear at all, so I bought it. A silver chain is strung and worn around the neck."
Pei Jingling raised her eyes to look at Qin Shuyu, and said lightly, "Now there is only this silver chain left."
Qin Shuyu frowned. He didn't understand what this had to do with recognizing that he was an executive officer, but he still asked cooperatively, "...Where's the ring?"
"Not anymore."
Pei Jingling's dark and beautiful pupils dimmed a bit, like a deep pool of water without waves, "Everything about Brother Li in reality doesn't exist anymore."
"So does memory."
Qin Shuyu opened his mouth in surprise: "So I..."
Pei Jingling ticked the corner of his mouth and snorted lightly: "So you who have complete memory can only have your soul returned to the game before he turned back into a Specter last time."
"You are the only one who remembers him besides me after I lost him for the second time."
