Coming out of the small black room, Ji Thrush returned to the arc-shaped hall of the Colosseum.
Compared with the time when he returned to "Peach Blossom Spring" last month, the Colosseum was obviously much more lively this time around, and there were people coming and going around him. Ji Thrush took a closer look and found that they were all unfamiliar faces he had never seen before.
Even if there is no time difference, just observing the reactions of these people when they leave the Colosseum, Ji Xiaoniao can immediately see that there is a fundamental difference between the newcomers and the experienced ones.
At this time, people passing by may have complex emotions such as fatigue, frustration, joy, sadness, relief, and numbness on their faces, but they do not have the unique curiosity and bewilderment of newcomers. They either leave the Colosseum directly, Either find a corner alone and wait for someone, or go straight to their companions. Everyone seems to have their own clear goals.
Ji Thrush turned his head and looked around, and soon found Mo Tiangen standing near the exit.
At this time, Mr. Dagen has returned from the tall, dark and low-profile version of the Hulk to the usual muscular handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He also noticed Ji Thrush and waved to classmate Xiaoniao again and again.
Ji Thrush took two quick steps to catch up, before Mo Tiangen could speak, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Mr. Ren?"
After all, it is near the exit of the Colosseum where people often pass by. Ji Xiaoniao finally remembered the basic common sense not to call himself and his companions by their names.
"Oh… "
Mo Tiangen replied in great disappointment.
He originally wanted to show off to Ji Thrush first the ability he had just aroused, but he didn't expect that he would ask Ren Jianmo first as soon as he opened his mouth... Hmph, is there a partner
"I didn't see him."
Mo Tiangen shrugged and replied.
Ji Thrush's little heart sank with a "thump".
He thought to himself, could it be that Ren Jianmo just left the Colosseum just like the last time, without even thinking about waiting for them
However, Ji Thrush still held the hope that "Maybe Ren Jianmo just hasn't come out of the small dark room", and dragged Mo Tiangen to wait for another full twenty minutes.
At this moment, their wave of people leaving the "world" has almost dispersed, and the Colosseum has returned to a deserted state.
Ji Thrush had to admit that Ren Jianmo probably left long ago.
"Okay, let's go, let's go back to the apartment and rest first."
Mo Tiangen saw Ji Thrush's dejected look like a puppy abandoned by his owner, and comforted him very considerately:
"Anyway, there is a phone in the room, and he won't grow wings to fly. Are you afraid you won't be able to find someone?"
Ji Thrush let out a muffled "Hmm", and followed Mo Tiangen out of the Colosseum in frustration.
The two had just walked out of the arched gate of the Colosseum when they saw someone walking towards them.
Ren Jianmo's height is quite outstanding even among men, not to mention his overly handsome appearance, and his long hair that is still quite ostentatious even if it is tied into a ponytail.
Ji Thrush's eyes lit up, and he immediately quickened his pace, leaving Mo Tiangen, who was traveling with him, behind.
"Mr. Ren!"
He trotted all the way and ran straight towards Ren Jianmo.
Teacher Dagen: "..."
Damn, why did he suddenly feel that he was superfluous
Ren Jianmo smiled at Ji Thrush, and took out two cups of pearl milk tea from a small bag as if by magic.
Ji Thrush: "!!"
Mo Tiangen: "???"
"Here, here you are."
Ren Jianmo handed both cups of milk tea to Ji Xiaoniao naturally, and joked with a smile:
"Didn't you say that the first thing you do when you come back is order two cups of milk tea, drink one, pour one?"
Ji Thrush took the two cups of milk tea blankly.
The cup is small in size, only palm length, and the temperature is cold when you touch it. There are large pearls sinking in the bottom, and there is a thick layer of cream on the top. It looks like it has just been brewed.
Ji Xiaoniao's ears were hot, she shook her lips, and said in a low voice, "Thank you".
So, Ren Jianmo didn't leave directly, but went back to the apartment specially, and came back with two cups of milk tea, just for the seemingly unintentional joke he made in the "world"
Ren Jianmo didn't seem to think it was a touching thing to bring two cups of milk tea for Ji Thrush at all, he just rubbed Ji Thrush's little curly hair like a normal person.
"Go back to the apartment and rest for half a day."
He said:
"Find another place tonight, and let's exchange the information we have obtained."
So the three of them went back to the apartment together.
Along the way, Ji Thrush lowered his head and sipped the milk tea Ren Jianmo brought him.
In fact, as a 19-year-old young man who is still in the developmental stage, Ji Xiaoniao, after experiencing the double overdraft of physical and mental strength, he would rather eat a high-calorie and high-protein meal than the sweet pearl milk cap meat, such as grilled meat or fried chicken.
But this was something specially brought to him by Ren Damei. Of course, Ji Thrush was reluctant to drink or pour a glass, so he turned his bow left and right, and before returning to the apartment, Ji Ligulu finished the two cups of milk tea.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Teacher Dagen smacked his tongue, and faintly felt the envy and jealousy of being a single dog.
If you really have a partner, you don't want brothers!
Obviously he is also the master who returned to the "Peach Blossom Spring" after a narrow escape, why is he so miserable that he can't even get a cup of milk tea
Of course, when the sour turns to sour, Mo Tiangen wouldn't lose his eyes so much that he insisted on asking to share the love drink in the hands of classmate Ji Xiaoniao.
The three of them came to the apartment, made an appointment for the time and place to meet in the evening, and then took the elevator back to their own suites.
&&& &&& &&&
Although after leaving the "world", the physical state of the participants will be adjusted back to the original state, not only the damage to the physical body, but theoretically speaking, the physical and mental strength will also return to normal.
But it may be due to psychological effects. When most people return to the "Peach Blossom Spring", they will feel exhausted, tired and hungry, as if all the energy in the whole body has been drained, and the whole person is sluggish. Even saying a few more words is too difficult.
The same goes for the thrush.
After he returned to the room, he took a hasty shower, ordered the fried chicken and thick-cut beef burger set, stuffed his stomach full with fat, protein and carbohydrates, and trudged back to the bedroom area , threw himself into the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep within thirty seconds.
This time, he fell into such a deep sleep that he didn't even have the energy to dream. When he opened his eyes again, it was already 7:22 in the evening, and there was only one time left before the appointment with Ren Jianmo and Mo Tiangen. Less than forty minutes.
"Fuck!"
Ji Thrush turned over and jumped up, jumped into the bathroom, tidied it carefully and carefully, and after making sure that he looked energetic enough, he went back to the living room area and ordered a bowl of Youpo Lazi The mixed noodles, accompanied by sour plum soup, was finished at the speed of a war, and then changed into an outfit for going out, and hurried out.
He and the two made an appointment to meet at Liange at eight o'clock in the evening.
In a sense, "Peach Blossom Spring" is very considerate and considerate to the participants it raises.
This is not only reflected in the fact that each contestant can obtain superior living conditions in the real world, but also has a variety of complete fitness and entertainment facilities.
Even if anyone needs a safe and confidential place to talk, they only need to pay a very cheap point to get it.
Ji Thrush and the others spent one point and rented a separate room in Linke.
The room is not big, and the furnishings are quite simple. Except for a conference table that can accommodate six people sitting side by side, and a stationery file cabinet where they can use paper and pens at will, there is no more furniture or sundries.
But the view from this room is very good.
Its position is very high, except for the floor and ceiling, almost all four sides are glass curtain walls, people in the room can look around the surrounding scenery at 360 degrees, at first glance, it looks like only in the latest 4D sci-fi movie The futuristic city that appeared in the movie is ordinary.
"If you have a fear of heights, you might be scared to death if you have a meeting here?"
Ji Thrush stood in front of the glass curtain wall and muttered.
Before he finished speaking, the transparent wall suddenly darkened, and then turned into an ordinary white wall.
Ji Xiaoniao looked back, and sure enough, he saw Mo Tiangen standing by the door, tapped a touch screen with his index finger, and smiled at him, "It's a holographic projection, just like the windows in our room."
After speaking, he turned all the walls into a typhoon-day coastal landscape as a prank.
So the three of them sat in a scene where the wind was blowing, the waves were crashing against the shore, and the waves were enough to flood the entire room, and started tonight's meeting.
"There is one thing I must tell you first."
As Ji Thrush said, he took out the green-gold Luna Stone from his pocket, and placed it on the conference table.
Mo Tiangen: "!!!"
Obviously, he never expected that this stone would come back with Ji Thrush.
"How did you have this?"
Mo Tiangen pointed to the Luna Stone on the table, opened his mouth into an "O" shape, and asked nah-na.
In a short and easy-to-understand summary, Ji Thrush told the other two about the ending he saw "thirty years later".
"I think that this stone may have been secretly put into my backpack by Surin."
Ji Xiaoniao expressed his guess:
"But I also don't understand why he would do it."
When Mo Tiangen was in the small black room, he also learned from his own artificial intelligence the reason why his progress was deducted, and he sighed for a long time. He couldn't say whether he regretted saving it. The little boy from "The World" who caused big trouble.
It's just that he didn't know that the child actually gave Ji Xiaoniao the Luna Stone, which was beyond his expectation.
"You said before that a parasitic race like 'Tears of Judas' must be near the Luna Stone to breed offspring with personal consciousness, right?"
Mo Tiangen touched his chin, and with the logical thinking of a biology teacher, made a guess about the little boy's behavior:
"Could it be that Surin's self-consciousness wants to hand over the stone to us in order to prevent the 'king' parasitic in his body from having the opportunity to reproduce continuously?"
Ji Thrush thought for a while.
"Well, there is indeed such a possibility."
He nodded, and continued with Mr. Dagen's analysis:
"Just like I can connect with their minds, maybe they can also get in touch with my brainwaves, so knowing the identity of our 'participants', and wanting to send the Luna Stone away, it becomes logical .”
Mo Tiangen also deeply agreed.
At this moment, Ren Jianmo spoke up:
"I have another guess..."
