"At the last moment, Mr. Xu brought the entire place into a different space. It is a strange area that we can never explore at present... Even if you don't die in that kind of place, you can stay there for a long time. You will gradually fall for it."
As if he had remembered something, the man's tone seemed very low.
"Because of the special relationship between you and Mr. Xu, I specially came to extend this invitation to you... But I personally respect your choice."
"Do you know about the existence of fallen species?"
Bai Zhi keenly noticed certain words in the man's words.
"It seems that you have already encountered this kind of existence."
The man raised his head and glanced at him.
"The so-called fallen species are monsters whose minds have been alienated along with their bodies. Because they are transformed from players, they also have all the characteristics of players. In the final analysis, they are the same as those who are driven by power and desire. Criminal players are no different, even worse."
"Is there a way to identify them?"
As his thoughts passed through the six players he met during his last mission, Bai Zhi asked the man in front of him.
"Them? Unless they are actively exposed, the only option is to kill them. Their prototypes will appear after death."
Regarding these matters that were not too important, the man answered them very casually.
"...Corpse?...That's right. After the fallen species dies, it is naturally impossible for it to be a human corpse..."
Taking out a breath, Bai Zhi nodded.
—He finally knew which one of the six previous teammates was the fallen one.
"Okay, have you made your choice? Do you want to join the Night Watch organization?"
The man smiled and spoke.
"After joining the Night Watch organization, you will receive a large amount of resources, but at the same time, you will also have to bear some responsibilities. The choice is yours."
“…I’m not used to being restrained.”
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi shook his head.
There are too many things that I can't explain. Let alone the land deed, just what I show? ? ? If your sanity value is high, you won't be able to meet people, so it's better to be alone.
"If that's the case, forget it. I hope we can have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Smiling nonchalantly, the man reached out and took out a business card, placed it on the table and handed it over.
"Players with similar levels will easily be placed in the same mission. This is my business card. If you encounter anything in the future, you can call me for help... We have common traits and look forward to cooperating with you. "
"Business card? Uh... Chu Ci!?"
Bai Zhi took the business card and took a look at it with some curiosity. When he saw what was recorded on the business card, Bai Zhi was completely stunned.
It was not the first time that he had seen the name Chu Ci. He had two PhDs in mathematics and physics, the legendary server launch boss, and one of the founders of the official organization "Relevant Departments". Before him, he also had the same perfect reputation. Players who have progressed through that hellish town...
It can be said that any player who has been to the auction house or auction square will definitely not be unfamiliar with the name Chu Ci.
...So you, a big server developer, how do you think that I, a newbie who has just reached level 6, can be matched with you in the same mission
"..."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Bai Zhi slightly raised his head and looked forward speechlessly. However, when he was about to explain some possible misunderstandings to the other party, he found that the man sitting opposite him was The man disappeared at some point.
… … … … … … … … …
City hospital, a separate two-person ward.
"Gouzi, I really shouldn't have gotten involved in this kind of thing like yours. This time I have suffered a huge loss."
Xia Wen, who was wearing a hospital gown and lying on the hospital bed with a face full of despair.
"Why, after experiencing this kind of thing, have you decided to chase him? I hope you will think it over carefully. Maybe his approach is the most correct. Staying away from us means staying away from us. Maximum protection.”
"Humph, as long as it is something I believe in, I will never give up easily, and I will not admit defeat."
Lying on the bed with a pillow in her arms, Lin Xiaoyi hummed softly in her mouth.
"Now that I think about it, those things are nothing to be afraid of. They are nothing compared to spiders and flies..."
"Yes, yes, it's nothing to be afraid of. I don't know which guy was so scared that he was crying in my arms at that time. It's really strange. Who was that guy? It's a pity that I forgot to take a photo with my phone at that time. , otherwise I can use the photos to coerce her into doing something embarrassing."
Xia Wen had a look of regret on his face.
"If I had those photos, I could let her treat me to dinner every day."
"...I'll treat you another day."
"A meal?"
"For a week, forget about that."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"..."
"well, let's get back to business."
Sitting up from the bed, Xia Wen looked serious.
"You have to think carefully. If you want to continue to get close to him, or even pursue him, then you will definitely have to deal with such weird things in the future. Are you sure you can bear it?"
“…True love is invincible.”
After a moment of silence, Lin Xiaoyi buried her face in the pillow and spoke muffledly.
"We have only personally experienced such a strange incident, and we are still under strict protection. And he is not just experiencing the strange incident, but facing the strange incident... He has not flinched. If I shrink, I will Not worthy of him."
"You are so stupid!!"
Xia Wen had a look of hatred on his face.
"It was just a heroic rescue of a beauty, and you have been deeply in love with him since then? It's not him who saved us this time!!"
"Stop making trouble. We originally wanted to investigate each other... Speaking of which, you were the one who made the suggestion to come here to investigate him on the weekend, right?"
Lin Xiaoyi turned her head and looked towards Xia Wen.
"Who do you think I am doing it for? Isn't it for you?"
Sitting on the bed cross-legged and holding hands, Xia Wen snorted coldly.
"Let me just say this, you are lying in the hospital now, but does he know? Even though you almost lost your life, you are still thinking about whether you are worthy of him. If you have the ability, he will show up to us now. noodle… "
"excuse me."
Before Xia Wen finished speaking, someone pushed the door open and entered.
Xia Wen: "..."
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 111 Chapter 109 Hospital Visit
"You should know what happened at the orphanage, right?"
He casually found a seat at the end of the bed and sat down. Bai Zhi asked the two people in front of him businesslikely.
To be honest, he basically had no impression of the school beauty who now buried her face in the pillow - the only one who had an impression was the fake school beauty who had approached him twice in class three.
After all, strictly speaking, the only time he had contact with the real school beauty was once in the cafeteria and the time on the way to class. Therefore, for a certain school beauty to bury her face in the pillow, it would be a surprise. He wasn't surprised that he didn't see Wei Jing.
-After all, the other party was afraid of avoiding him before.
"I know, so what do you want to do?"
He gave Lin Xiaoyi, who was blushing and burying his face in the pillow, a look of disgust, and Xia Wen stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Xiaoyi without hesitation.
So she couldn't understand the thoughts of these little girls who were in love... Wasn't it possible that the previous conversation was overheard by the other party? Why are you embarrassing me by leaving it here
"It's very simple, understand the basic situation."
Bai Zhi nodded.
"For example, why did you go to the orphanage, and what happened to you in the orphanage... Or it can be said that, how much do you remember about the things that happened in the orphanage? "
"Are you interrogating?"
Looking at Bai Zhi's plain expression in front of him, Xia Wen looked slightly unhappy.
"The orphanage is my home, but now my home has been destroyed. You are the only survivors in this accident."
"… Feel sorry."
"I have nothing to apologize for. I just want to learn a little bit about the situation from you. Can you tell me more about it?"
"We arrived at the orphanage yesterday afternoon..."
After a moment of hesitation, Xia Wen spoke.
Apart from not being able to tell the person in front of them about the purpose of their trip, Xia Wen didn't hide anything about the bizarre experiences of the two of them.
According to Xia Wen himself, since they arrived at the orphanage, ever since they stepped into the orphanage, they could no longer find any way out, and the entire orphanage was empty and empty. It's scary.
And just when they didn't know what to do, horrible and disgusting monsters appeared from behind them, and were driven away by the monsters that followed them closely. They fled all the way to the rooftop, and just as they Just when they thought this was a dead end, the stairs leading to the rooftop suddenly disappeared, and they were trapped on the roof.
Afterwards, the memories of the two of them became slightly blurred. They had been trapped on the rooftop and passed out due to hunger and thirst. When they opened their eyes again, they found that they had been sent to the hospital. .
(…Two unlucky ghosts? It seems that they don’t know as much as Chu Ci does… The old dean sent them to the roof of the building to protect them, right?)
After listening to Xia Wen's story silently, Bai Zhi nodded and then asked a new question.
"Then why are you going to the orphanage?"
"Well...because love won't be hurt easily."
After rolling his eyes slightly, Xia Wen answered seriously.
"So everything is happy?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows.
"Because love grows simply?"
Xia Wen's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"I can still go crazy for you at any time."
Standing up from the chair, Bai Zhi put the bag of fruit he bought on the way here at his feet on the bedside table.
"If you don't want to say it, then you don't want to say it. After all, everyone has their own little secrets and privacy. Thank you for your cooperation today. We are all classmates in the same school. This is a little condolence fruit that I personally bought."
"Eh? Why are you so embarrassed? It costs you money."
As soon as he heard that there was food, Xia Wen immediately got out of the bed with an attentive look on his face.
"It's just some fruit. You guys should have a good rest."
After glancing at the school beauty who was still lying on the bed with her face buried in the pillow, Bai Zhi shook his head slightly, turned around and walked out of the ward door, and even helped to close the door.
Although I didn't have much expectation to get any clues from here from the beginning, in the end, I still felt a little disappointed... It's a pity that I spent money to buy the fruits.
Well, if I had known earlier, I would have picked a few wild flowers from the roadside and brought them over... saving money and effort...
… … … … … … … … … … … …
"God gave you a chance, but you didn't use it."
Pointing his finger at Lin Xiaoyi's forehead, who got up from the bed immediately after someone left, Xia Wen had a look of hatred on his face.
"Did you just pretend to be a stone that can't move or talk the whole time? Where did all your courage go?"
"Who knew he was right outside the door just now? If he heard those embarrassing words, where would you tell me to put my face?"
Reaching out to slap away Xia Wen's hand that was making trouble on her face, Lin Xiaoyi looked very unconvinced.
"And besides, I haven't even..."
"Nothing yet? You have to understand that things like opportunities are fleeting. God has rained down opportunities on you, but you have flexibly avoided them one by one."
A figure appeared at the head of the bed at some point. While using his hands to open the black plastic bag, Xia Wen curled his lips in disdain.
"I think you have a guilty conscience, right? Bai Zhi personally feels quite easy to get along with, and he also seems to be very humorous... By the way, how did you fail to strike up a conversation with you in the past few times?"
"What else could the reason be? It's just that he doesn't want to involve me in such dangerous things. That's the kind of person he is... Also, who are you saying is guilty!?"
He was quite unconvinced and rushed towards Xia Wen. A certain school belle was very annoyed and used a cross choke on him.
"I'm not like you, who can't help it when I see food. I'm really worried that one day you will be abducted by someone with a lollipop... You are not allowed to eat now, put it down!!"
"Don't even think about it, only when it comes to food..."
