On a late autumn night, the western suburbs can be two degrees colder than the city.
When they arrived at the entrance of Juhe Garden, Xu Youyuan, who had slept for two rounds, was still sleeping peacefully in the co-pilot.
Shi Yue couldn't bear to wake her up, and the car was warm and comfortable, so she lay beside her and watched her.
It was not until 6:30 in the morning that Xu Youyuan was awakened by the urine, only to realize that she had already arrived at Juheyuan, and the sky had begun to turn white.
Look at the time, how come it's this o'clock? Where am I
Xu Youyuan was a little confused when she woke up, but when she saw Shi Yue sleeping beside her, she remembered what happened last night.
It was less than two o'clock when they left the hospital, and it was enough to drive to the western suburbs for forty minutes at midnight, and it was half past six.
After thinking about it, I quickly understood.
Want to laugh, but also a little warm.
Ask yourself, if it were Xu Youyuan, she would never sleep in the car with others. Just wake up and go home to sleep without delaying your work for a while.
Xu Youyuan looked at Shi Yue's sleeping face, with a little childishness in her silence, clearly still a little girl.
I don't know what skin care products Yue usually uses, her face is fair and supple, so Xu Youyuan couldn't help but poke her.
Shi Yue slowly opened her eyes and saw Xu Youyuan looking at her.
"Am I snoring?" Shi Yue's first sentence was actually this sentence.
Xu Youyuan couldn't help being amused: "Who are you trying to kill, the screen recording in the game will be deleted as soon as possible, don't force me to do it myself."
Shi Yue giggled: "Why do you think you understand my stalks so well? But I'm really asking, no snoring."
"No ah."
"Seeing that you are so close, I thought that snoring disturbed you, and you wanted to beat me."
"I won't beat you." Xu Youyuan wrapped her scarf and wrapped her small chin in it. "I just wanted to give the monkey acupuncture points, but it didn't work."
Shi Yue: "Ah? What the hell."
Where would Xu Youyuan explain to her, open the door and get out of the car.
"Wait a minute, what are you jumping on?" Shi Yue got out of the car immediately and helped Xu Youyuan out safely.
Xu Youyuan was a little dumbfounded: "I just hurt a toe, so I can walk by myself."
Shi Yue ignored her. The temperature outside the car was colder than she thought. Shi Yue took her clothes out of the car and put them on Xu Youyuan.
The heavy wool coat was very warm, and Shi Yue asked her to raise her hand to put it on for her.
Xu Youyuan raised her hand and reached into her sleeve. Shi Yue helped her to button up all the buttons, and found that the coat looked a little longer when it was on Xu Youyuan than when it was on herself.
Xu Youyuan also found out and asked Shiyue, "How tall are you? 175?"
"176."
"No wonder... eh? I'll button it myself."
Shi Yue's dexterous fingers have already buttoned the coat to the third button: "Don't move, it will be healed soon."
Xu Youyuan was thirty-four years old. She was helped to dress by a child in her early twenties, and she was taught a lesson when she moved. She felt like she couldn't take care of herself.
"Okay." After buttoning the buttons and making sure that Xu Youyuan would not be cold at all, Shi Yue took Xu Youyuan and walked with her into the community. If it weren't for Juheyuan, which only has two buildings and no lanes at all, she would just drive in the car.
Xu Youyuan's mouth was in the scarf, her big eyes raised to look at Shi Yue: "It's only two steps away, and it's still wrapped so tightly."
"Don't be long-winded for those who are injured, go in quickly, and go to sleep when you get home, you'll see bags under your eyes from being so tired."
"What about you, go directly to the company? Don't have time to sleep?"
"Ang, don't sleep anymore." Shi Yue smiled sweetly, "Young man, you can handle it."
"Okay, then I'll go up. Sleep a while on the way back."
"Go." Shi Yue didn't go back to the car, and in the cold weather, she stood in the cold wind wearing a thin shirt and a short scarf, her sleeves rolled up.
"Hurry in!" Xu Youyuan, who walked into the iron gate of the community, looked back and shouted to Shi Yue angrily.
Shi Yue pouted, expressing her bravery.
Seeing her posture, Xu Youyuan couldn't walk if she didn't see herself entering the corridor, she immediately turned around and ran into the unit building.
When I was about to get on the elevator, I received a WeChat message from Shiyue, which was actually the same red panda 4D emoticon package she loved.
The little panda jumped up from the screen of the mobile phone, its short fat paws raised high, and the milk was fierce.
Xu Youyuan: "You steal my expression pack!"
Shi Yue quickly replied: "Yes, I will be the same as you."
Xu Youyuan couldn't help but smirk a little, feeling a little embarrassed after being stupid, she settled down her emotions and replied:
"I'll send the clothes back to you after I've done the dry cleaning."
"Don't be so troublesome, I'll take it back and deal with it later, don't bother."
The coat that Xu Youyuan is wearing is also filled with the fragrance of Shiyue oak. The tail note of this perfume is very special. After Xu Youyuan got out of the elevator, its fragrance still lingers in the whole elevator.
Ah Shuang was very interested in this unfamiliar dress, even a little hostile, always wanting to pick it up.
Xu Youyuan drove A Shuang away and temporarily put the coat in the closet. Before putting it in, Xu Youyuan also checked it out to make sure that there were no mushrooms growing in the wardrobe and that it would not stain the clothes.
In the next few days, Xu Youyuan could smell Shi Yue's perfume as soon as she opened the closet, and even this small rental house had its fragrance.
…
Xu Youyuan's toe was injured and she had to rest for half a month to recover.
She sent a WeChat message to Shi Yue, specifically saying that her injury would not delay the progress of the dark room. If Shi Yue is free, she can continue to the next scene this weekend.
Shi Yue refused: "There is a somatosensory chip in the dark compartment. No matter running or jumping, it may cause your foot injury to be more uncomfortable. Are you stupid?"
"It's okay, it doesn't really make me run and jump around, it's just a little bit painful..."
Xu Youyuan was rejected by Shi Yue before she could finish her sentence: "No, if you say no, you can't. The doctor said you need to rest for half a month, so don't worry about it, okay? And this season's qualifiers will not be until next year's fourth day. The month is definitely too late. You can rest in peace! Don't worry about it!"
"...This is also killing me?"
"I didn't kill you." Shi Yue stabilized her mood, "I'm just reasoning with you, not in a hurry."
Shi Yue thought about it for a while, and sent out a second of words, just one word - "good".
After five seconds, Xu Youyuan replied: "I haven't treated you for a few days, and my skills have improved again, right?"
Shi Yue heard that she said this with a smile, and became even more arrogant: "You must grow up, let you exercise your brain more every day, and think of a way to cure me, which will help prevent Alzheimer's disease."
Xu Youyuan: "..."
Xu Youyuan made an expression of a red panda grabbing another red panda and swirling it into the air and disappearing.
Shi Yue was still smiling while holding the phone when Little Teddy knocked on the door: "Boss, Mr. Huang asked me to tell you that he is waiting for you in the third conference room."
"Okay." Shi Yue could only reluctantly say goodbye to Xu Youyuan temporarily, and was going to a meeting.
Xu Youyuan replied to her: "Concentrate during the meeting, don't let your boss catch you deserting."
Shi Yue read this line as she walked to the conference room.
A very ordinary order, in fact, like a certain detail the night before, hiding Xu Youyuan's good intentions.
"I won't ask anything else, just ask a question."
She experienced a crisis that threatened her life last night, and Xu Youyuan also witnessed all the situations in Shi Yue's house. The 28th and 29th floors are connected, and the upper floor is a laboratory. This kind of environment is definitely not something ordinary office workers will have.
Xu Youyuan probably guessed everything, but in the end, she didn't mention it. Instead, she asked a very shameful question to divert her focus. It's the exact same attitude as this "don't let your boss catch you deserting"—
What Shi Yue said, Xu Youyuan believed what she didn't reveal, and she wouldn't be embarrassed.
She should believe that Shi Yue is not malicious, and there must be a reason for not telling the truth.
Xu Youyuan was accommodating everything about Shi Yue, not using any words, but telling her directly with actions.
How can there be such a gentle person Xu Youyuan...
Shi Yue is very fortunate that she didn't have a moment of overheating, she didn't use her power to decide the champion of the secret box, or directly spend millions on Caps to buy a superb number that reshapes the universe.
What kind of person is Xu Youyuan? Her self-esteem cannot allow such a thing to happen. Doing so will only destroy the dark room, NCOUNT, and the relationship she finally established with Xu Youyuan.
At this moment, Shi Yue got a key, a key that went to Xu Youyuan's side by default.
Xu Youyuan still has her concerns, and Shi Yue can feel it, but it doesn't matter, everything has just begun.
**
The star system almost demolished Shiyue's house, and it would take a long time to renovate it. She could only make a living in the hotel outside.
Although she drank Xu Youyuan's chicken soup, she cheered up a little, but facing years of hard work turned into a pile of failed scraps, Shi Yue would inevitably feel a little tired.
As the scrapped 1.0 version, the star system was packaged and locked in the depths of the supercomputer by Shiyue, and she planned to start a new journey after thoroughly sorting it out.
The new system has a new name - "X".
The X stands for the unknown, and the letter itself is cool. Most importantly, X is the initial consonant of the Chinese character "Xu".
…
After only a week, Xu Youyuan said that she was fine and could enter the dark compartment again.
"I went to the official website of the dark box to read it. It turns out that there are as many as 400,000 teams participating in this season, and more than 5,000 teams have passed the qualifiers of the three scenarios worldwide... 5,000 teams! For nearly half a year, there may be tens of thousands of teams competing for the championship, which is completely beyond my expectations.”
Shi Yue smiled and said, "You didn't expect the dark room to be so popular."
"One thing, but combined with my own game experience, it's not surprising that there are so many players in the dark room, it's really fun." Xu Youyuan praised without hesitation, "So we have to hurry up, we only pass the adventure now The first two stages of the theme are already far behind others."
Shi Yue: "It's alright, anyway, just clear the customs before the qualifier deadline."
"No, I'm uncomfortable with someone in front of me. Today is the weekend, let's go into the dark room."
"But your foot injury hasn't fully recovered. Don't mess around. What if it gets worse again."
"Will not."
"No." Shi Yue refused, "The third scene of the adventure theme is the last scene of the preliminaries, and it is also very difficult. It is not suitable to participate when you are physically injured."
Xu Youyuan said: "It's better to change the theme. We haven't passed the first scene of the other two themes."
Shi Yue secretly looked forward to it, and said calmly, "That's right, then let's..."
"In broad daylight, why don't you go to the horror theme!" Xu Youyuan couldn't hold back her excitement, "I've wanted to go to the horror theme for a long time!"
Shi Yue on the other end of WeChat has black eyes, why is she so concerned about the theme of horror! Isn't there a love theme to choose from!
"How's it going? Shi Yue, aren't you afraid?" Xu Youyuan also used aggressive tactics.
Shi Yue lay on the bed of the hotel and said weakly: "Forget it, the theme of horror is the theme of horror, anyway, we will face it sooner or later."
"Walk!"
Xu Youyuan was as happy as a child preparing to go on a spring outing, and quickly went online.
Shi Yue slowly entered the dark room, accepted Xu Youyuan's appointment invitation, entered her room, and fell on the lazy sofa.
"Will the first stage scene of each theme not hide the appearance?" Xu Youyuan stuffed the bottle and Wu Zetian's appearance into the universal bag, "And I remember the first stage scene, there is nothing about the weapon can only be in the scene Got a hint that we can buy weapons in the mall and bring them into the scene?"
"Yes, after all, it is the first stage, and the difficulty will not be too high." Shi Yue frantically swiped the mall, looking for weapons that could frighten ghosts, "I remember the appearance of a Taoist priest!"
Xu Youyuan still wore phoenix wings, bought a dagger with 300 attack points, and put it in the all-purpose bag.
There are still two spaces in the universal bag. Her previous customs clearance reward drove a pig liver-colored scooter, which happened to occupy two spaces. Xu Youyuan simply put it in. If the scene is too big, they can still drive away without getting tired.
"What happened to your rare appearance and vehicle last time?" Xu Youyuan asked.
"It's not open yet." Shi Yue said, "No hurry, it's not something unusual anyway."
"I also have a diamond summoning card that I haven't used yet. Let's open it together next time. How are you?" Xu Youyuan asked Shi Yue impatiently.
Shi Yue put on the appearance of a Taoist priest, wearing a Hunyuan hat, a blue robe, a peach wood sword behind her back, a Qiankun bag around her waist, and both hands full of talisman paper.
Xu Youyuan looked at her carefully, then nodded deeply.
Shi Yue: "?"
"You are dressed up so carefully, you look like the one that monsters and ghosts like to eat most, and it's the one that hung up in the first episode."
Shi Yue: "...Can you hope I order it?"
"So the horror theme really has demons and ghosts?"
"It would be better if it was a monster..."
"Are you most afraid of ghosts?" Xu Youyuan took a long time to hold back her laughter. "Sure enough, she is still a child. It's a virtual game and not a real scene. What are you afraid of?"
Shi Yue looked at her angrily: "Don't be long-winded, let's go!"
Before entering the horror scene, he had to sign a waiver agreement. Most people don't read it carefully, but Xu Youyuan was different. She read every word carefully, and then signed it.
Xu Youyuan said: "The agreement is very important. Even if the player is scared out of the good or bad, it has nothing to do with the dark room. If you don't read the agreement, you don't feel scary, but after reading it, you are a little scared. Is this part of the horror?"
Shi Yue was no longer interested in chatting and looked ahead.
[System prompt: You are about to enter a horror-themed dating scene
(The first stage of the 2035 season horror theme qualifier)
Initiator: Plasma Cream Cake with Flowers
Import Movie: Not Acquired
Difficulty: not acquired
Precautions:
One: All elements in this scene are fictitious, please do not panic. If you are afraid, please control the screaming decibel so as not to disturb the people.
Two: Always pay attention to what is behind you, the thing you least want to encounter may be right behind you]
The scene was quickly building up, and Xu Youyuan watched the whole process of loading intently.
Halfway through the loading, she could see that it was a cemetery in the dark.
At twelve o'clock midnight, Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue appeared on the top of the hill full of rubble.
It was pitch-dark, barely able to see things clearly in the moonlight—would rather not see at all.
The cold wind blew, and from time to time there was a rumbling sound, like the sound of a woman crying, which is also standard in horror movies.
The tombstones fell to the ground, and the words engraved on them were almost indistinct. Xu Youyuan squatted down to look at a few, and came back and said to Shi Yue, "It seems that they were all scratched by human violence, and some of the tomb bags are empty."
Shi Yue: "Yes, is someone digging a grave?"
"Don't be afraid, it shouldn't be." Xu Youyuan said, "It was dug out from the inside."
Shi Yue: "… "
"Is this the movie you imported?"
Shi Yue's face was ashen: "The first stage scenes of the three major themes are basically movie scenes prepared by the contestants themselves, but there are also special circumstances. The dark room will randomly select lucky winners for difficulty and fun, and put in original scenes. Guess what. Who is the lucky one today?"
After listening to it, Xu Youyuan was even more excited: "That is to say, you don't know what will happen next. Okay, exciting enough."
[System prompt: Go south, cross the mountain to reach Duotougou, then you can clear the customs.]
As a result, I have to climb the entire mountain in the middle of the night, who knows what the hell I will encounter!
"Ah!" Xu Youyuan shouted excitedly, Shi Yue protested:
"Don't make a fool of yourself!"
"Guess what I brought?" Xu Youyuan threw the universal bag, and a hatchback car appeared in front of her eyes.
Xu Youyuan: "I am too prescient."
Shi Yue immediately sat in the co-pilot, and when the door was closed, all the cold wind and terrifying atmosphere were isolated from the outside, making her comfortable for a second.
Xu Youyuan sat in the driver's seat. Sure enough, there was no driverless system, so she had to drive by herself.
However, the operation of both the car and the tram in the game is different from that in reality. The tram on Mount Takao has only two buttons. This car only has a steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and a small dial.
The dial shows the fuel level and speed, and there is even a directional indicator.
Step on the accelerator and the car went out, very similar to the go-kart she played in when she was a child. According to the direction indicator, Xu Youyuan drove south.
The little broken car screeched over the uneven ground and merged into the dark night.
