The Midnight Owl

Chapter 12: Shocked

Views:

"Finally see me?" Qian Ai gritted his teeth and stared at the two old classmates, his voice subtly raised, "Didn't you take your brother on a trip?"

Xu Wang grabbed Kuang Jinxin and said, "My brother!"

Not to be outdone, Wu Sheng raised his eyebrows to fight back: "Didn't you eat all over China?"

Qian Ai took out a bacon roux from his arms, and it was a big mouthful. While chewing, he was angry: "These days, even old classmates can't believe it!"

Kuang Jinxin was confused, looked at Qian Ai, then looked at Wu Sheng and Xu Wang, and reasoned with difficulty in the aroma of Roujiamo: "Is this... a new team?"

After a brief exchange, everyone sorted out each other's "sadness".

Needless to say, Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, and Kuang Jinxin were here, and they went directly to this side after 1/23 of the papers. Qian Ai was even worse. He was the only one in his team who wanted to come here, so he had to take off. Team, but after coming here, I couldn't form a team, so I came in every day to walk around, and then went out at five in the morning, and so on, it's been three days.

As the saying goes, the owl is called a line, and cherish this relationship.

It would be a lie to say that it is not shocked, but after the shock, there are also slight surprises - it is better to be cooked than to be cooked, and there is no need to hesitate to join forces.

This time, there are only three candidates in the list of additional members, and the prefix is still 1/23, not counting Qian Ai, and none of the remaining two are familiar to Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, and Kuang Jinxin, and none of the names I saw last night. No, not even Sun Jiang.

Qian Ai stayed for three more days and found out more rules: "Additional members should only be people within the same coordinate range. For example, if you are in Beijing, you can invite only those who are also in Beijing. Here, the only ones who can be invited are here, otherwise a team of people is divided into different places, how can they pass the test together."

This sounds a bit reasonable, so last night's list of additions included Sun Jiang but no Qian Ai, but tonight it's just the opposite.

Qian Ai joined the team smoothly, but he was in a complicated mood: "Can this broken place be a scourge for our class?"

Xu Wang felt the same way.

The old classmates who were scattered all over the world, who were running around for a living, were destined to reunite again, but in a magical catastrophe with an uncertain future. This scene is really sad to hear, and see tears. If the high school head teacher came over, he would be able to hug them one by one and feel distressed.

Wu Sheng was not as sentimental as the two of them. After forming Qian Ai, he looked around for possible crises or hints. However, after searching all over the place to no avail, another doubt came to mind—they broke up with Sun Jiang when they were in the snowfield, and Sun Jiang disappeared immediately, but when they saw Qian Ai, Qian Ai clearly hadn’t formed a team with them. Is it contradictory

Kuang Jinxin's sudden voice interrupted Wu Sheng's thoughts: "I remembered it! Why is the name so familiar to me!" Angkor, Brother Xu, he is the Qian Ai you mentioned when you guessed idioms in the snowfield, right

Qian Ai's eyes narrowed as she listened, and when she finally met the two classmates, they became two sharp slits: "Old classmates, give me an explanation."

Wu Sheng calmly spread his hands: "We are just stating things... um..."

Xu Wang covered the mouth that was destroying the feelings of the team, and responded to Qian Ai with a united and friendly smile: "Well, it's a bit long to say..."

The friendship boat is being repaired, and the "Ding-" of "four in one" makes the atmosphere suddenly tense.

Everyone looked at their arms: —

The first reaction of Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, and Kuang Jinxin was to look at Qian Ai, but the latter looked confused: "Don't look at me, I have never successfully formed a team, and every time I come in, I stand here stupidly. Today It's the first time I've received this message."

Obviously, the owl will only give new prompts when the team is full.

And now, 2/23, the official start.

There was no change in the surrounding environment, but everyone felt a sudden tension.

G4 is not far from diagonally ahead, a handsome guy is on duty, the front of the counter is deserted, and there are no passengers checking in. The four of them came to the counter, and before they could speak, the young man had neatly printed out four boarding passes, and threw them on the counter without raising his head: "Go through the security check, and board the plane at gate 17. It's too late."

His voice was low, with some kind of weird magnetism.

Xu Wang wanted to chat with him a little more, but the guy suddenly put up a "suspended" sign, got up and left without looking back.

He was so fast that he disappeared behind the luggage conveyor in the blink of an eye like a ghost. Xu Wang looked at the empty counter and got goosebumps: "Is he... a real person?"

"I don't know, anyway, if you chat with him, he can answer whatever you ask," Qian Ai was a visitor, and he almost talked about the ground crew in three days, "but as soon as you say it's fake, it's true In an unreal world, they either don't understand, or they look at you like they're seeing a lunatic."

"NPC," Kuang Jinxin suddenly muttered, "just like the NPC in the game."

"It's not quite right," Qian Ai said, "NPCs at most say two or three lines over and over again, but I have almost found out about the eighteenth generation of their ancestors. It doesn't matter if you talk straight or round, or you don't suffer anywhere. Where are you talking, I can answer it all for you!"

"Artificial intelligence," Wu Sheng interjected in, but his eyes were fixed on passers-by, as if he was examining lines of code, "The current level of technology has reached the level of human-machine communication, not to mention here."

Yeah, not to mention here.

A magical space where anything can happen, a treacherous place where people can be forced to come in, let alone artificial intelligence, even if these people are willing to come and cooperate with the group performance, no one dares to give a firm denial.

"Ding-"

The dense beep sounds like an urgent urging.

When it comes, break it.

Without hesitation, the group immediately rushed to the security check channel.

Being alone is really nothing to investigate. The four of them successfully entered the waiting hall, but Xu Wang found that Kuang Jinxin was not in a high mood all the way. Of course, no one can be happy when entering this ghost place, but Jin Xin has always been optimistic and lively. This state is really abnormal. Only when I asked, did he know that when the entrance opened, he was waiting obediently with his hiking bag on his back, but he turned around and fell into the terminal building. There were people, but the bag was gone.

Although there is nothing valuable in the bag, it is also a "must have for home" carefully selected by classmate Kuang. According to him, no matter how dangerous the environment is, whether it is necessary to eat or drink, keep warm or cool, stay overnight or trek, dance or sing, he packs the bag. It's full of "equipment". This one is really frustrating.

Xu Wang patted his brother on the shoulder, thinking that he was very qualified to comfort him: "Don't worry, you can't lose it. From my experience, your bag must be lying on the hotel floor right now."

"But I didn't put any dangerous items in my bag." Kuang Jinxin's eyebrows were drooping, looking aggrieved.

"That's because your bag is too big!" Xu Wang tapped him on the head, "Okay, cheer up, no matter how much you complain about the bag, you won't be able to come back, hurry up and look ahead, you still don't know what's on the plane. Monsters and monsters are waiting for us."

"I suddenly thought of a question," Wu Sheng, who was walking at the front, turned around without warning, "If we were bounced back to reality on the plane, would it be equivalent to jumping off the building objectively?"

Xu Wang, who was following closely behind, almost bumped into him, and when he finally stood up, he heard this cruel idea, and he was suddenly helpless: "Can you say something auspicious?"

Wu Sheng tilted his head and thought for a while, and then changed the conversation: "It shouldn't, since he can eject you the moment you are pounced by a bear, it means that the 'protection mechanism' exists by default, so it shouldn't be unexpected that the 'aircraft ejection' 'This bug. OK, I'm fine."

Xu Wang: "..."

Kuang Jinxin: "Angkor, you are all right..."

Qian Ai: "But we are panicking!!!"

There seems to be no end to the road in the waiting hall, and boarding gate 17 is like an existence that only exists in legends, because the four of them have been walking forward, counting 1234 all the way, and have also seen 20 and 30, but only 17 No, it wasn't until more than 20 minutes later that he was willing to reveal his true face.

According to time, they walked about 1.5-2 kilometers.

This time the does not provide a regional map and coordinates, but 1.5-2 kilometers is exactly the distance between the hotel and Zhenbeitai.

Check in and board the plane, the stewardess stood at the entrance of the cabin, smiling gently and beautifully.

The four of them sat in first class (Wu Sheng), business class (Guang Jinxin), economy class wing (Qian Ai), and economy class tail (Xu Wang) according to their ticket positions.

As the four settled down, the plane began to taxi slowly. After a while, Xu Wang felt a slight weightlessness and tinnitus—the plane took off.

What if I get ejected on a plane

Xu Wang hated Wu Sheng's question, because it had now taken root in his subconscious, and even the half-healed wound on his shoulder was aching again.

"Don't be nervous, the discomfort is only during takeoff and climb, and the plane will stabilize after a while." A kind and generous voice came from my ear.

Xu Wang turned his head to see the seat next to him, a middle-aged man with glasses, gentle and refined, with a temperament like a scholar or a teacher.

"Is it your first time on a plane?" Seeing Xu Wang not saying a word, the man asked again, but it sounded like he didn't really want to inquire, but rather said something casual to ease the embarrassment caused by the silence.

His voice was different from the previous ground crew, natural and kind, no different from ordinary people. But Xu Wang was still uneasy. The remaining shadow made it difficult for him to trust him again. In the confusion of his thoughts, he asked abruptly, "What's your name?"

There was a trace of astonishment in the man's eyes, as if he was saying "there is still such a chat"

Xu Wang looked at the extremely meticulous micro-expression, and at a certain moment, he really wanted to believe that he was a "human" until he heard his answer: "My name is Yin Yiling, how about you?"

How unreliable parents must be able to name their children this name.

Xu Wang didn't give up, and asked the young girl on his right, "What's your name?"

The girl smiled sweetly: "Mu Jiuba."

Xu Wang passed her and asked the passengers across the aisle, "What's your name?"

The three passengers in the last row looked at them all, all generously reporting their homes—

"Ping Ninety Five."

"Huang Jiuli."

"And ninety-seven."

Xu Wang looked at their smiling faces, but he couldn't smile at all.

[Four hours left~~]

A voice full of schadenfreude suddenly sounded in the ear, there was a strangeness in the joy, and a coldness was hidden under the naughty.

Xu Wang was all too familiar with this voice.

It takes him home.

It congratulates them on handing in.

Four hours left? What's the meaning

As soon as the doubts arose, a passenger near the front wing by the window screamed: "There's a bomb—"

… Could you be a little more blunt! ! !
