"Ten years ago?" The man repeated this time, something flashed in his eyes.
Xu Wangzheng nodded his head: "Ten years ago, in the owl."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Wang seriously for the first time, but soon, he smiled again, shook his head and said, "How old were you ten years ago, I don't remember meeting any children there."
Xu Wang fixedly looked at him: "3/23, inside the hospital gate, you stabbed a zombie that was jumping at you, but you felt strange after the stab, because the zombie seemed to hit something before it jumped in front of you."
The man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became a little dazed, as if drifting to the distant old scene where many details were blurred.
"Later you broke into the third floor of the infection department building, and you used the to inquire about the situation in the office..."
Xu Wang continued. These things, which he had forgotten for ten years, became clearer and clearer every day after they were rediscovered. The details he remembered now were even more and more precise than when he first remembered them.
"You gave the vaccine to the old doctor, but you were bitten by another male doctor and wiped out the whole army. You ran away without caring about your soul painter..."
"Where are you?" No matter how unbelievable the man was, he had to believe it. Except for him and his teammates back then, there was no fifth person who knew about the process of breaking through that night. If the details of what the zombies bumped into were not deliberately brought up, even he himself would have forgotten.
"Yes," Xu Wang said, "I am here."
The man thought for a moment, and then connected all the abnormal details: "The one who was hit by the zombie..."
"It's me." Xu Wang helped him seal it.
The man's brows wrinkled in confusion: "You are in the owl, but we can't see you, why?"
Xu Wang said, "Because I shouldn't belong there, I'm not a passerby, but I was sucked in for no reason that day, like an owl..."
"There's a bug." This time, it was the man who finished speaking for him.
Xu Wang was stunned, and it took a long time before he found his voice: "Could it be that that night, you also..."
The man shrugged and smiled: "It seems that that night was not just a turning point in my fate."
The two parties chatted about every word, and the thirteen friends were confused, and there was a friend surnamed Wu, who understood everything, but for the vagueness and ambiguity of "that night" description, very dissatisfied.
Yue Shuai and Wang Dianran were just here to buy information, but they had to sit down and listen to the story from ten years ago. Although Chi Yingxue, Kuang Jinxin, and Qian Ai knew the origin of the captain and the owl, but now the origin has crossed with the intelligence seller, so they have to follow the main force and go through it all over again.
Fortunately, the context of "that night" is still clear—
Xu Wang strayed into the owl and witnessed the process of Mr. Fan—the seller, out of courtesy, kept his name, not anonymous—the whole army was wiped out. Then another team broke in and the papers were successfully handed in. Then Xu Wang talked to the owl and obtained the fragmented "help me", which was bounced back to reality and lost his memory.
But this story actually has a sequel.
After that team successfully handed over the papers, they left Owl, but Mr. Fan, who had run away earlier, was not bounced back to reality because of the other teams' submissions. The reason is probably the same as Xu Wang's "mistake", which is caused by the instability of the owl. Obviously, his stay was also an "abnormality", and perhaps it was this "abnormality" that made the owl who failed to communicate with Xu Wang find him again.
I don't know if I absorbed the experience of failing to talk to Xu Wang, improved the algorithm in a short period of time, or made some repair patches. In short, this time, Owl's expression is clearer.
[Owl: Help me, help me turn off the road connecting here and the outside.]
This is the first sentence Owl and Mr. Fan said.
Inside the room with the door closed, it was so quiet that even the sound of a feather falling on the carpet could be heard.
Did the owl have a bug ten years ago? ! Xu Wang also took advantage of this bug to come in and swim around? ! Will the owl change its yin and yang strangeness and say things that have nothing to do with crossing the border? ! After not explaining it to Xu Wang, you still know how to find a second person? !
This series of shocks has shattered the nerves of the partners present, but everything is not as good as the last one—
"Can the road be closed-?!!!"
This is even more exciting than leaving the owl early. Leaving early, that is to escape and close the passage, that is world peace!
Mr. Fan was about to continue talking, but he was suddenly yelled at by a dozen people in unison. He immediately shut up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, and moved the swivel chair back without a trace.
"To be precise, the road to the first thirteen levels can be sealed."
Xu Wang: "What about the last ten levels?"
"It didn't say it." Mr. Fan shook his head, "It just asked me to help it cut off the road to the first thirteen levels. Once it succeeds, all the passers-by of the first thirteen levels will be freed and will no longer have to enter the owl."
"What about the owl's inner world in the first thirteen levels? Will it be destroyed?" Xu Wang's mind suddenly flashed many faces, 3/23 Xiao Ding, 4/23 Xiao Huang Xiaobai Hei Momo, 5/23 Xiao Hungry, wait, although reason told him that these were just NPCs, Xu Wang still couldn't treat them as data that could be restored with one click.
Mr. Fan hesitated for a moment, obviously never thought about this question, and finally smiled helplessly: "I haven't asked the owl, so I can't answer you."
"How to close the passage?" Wu Sheng asked politely, pulling the topic back to the "core".
Wang Duanran and Xu Wang's teammates immediately pricked up their ears. At the same time, the broken embossed board flashed in their hearts, and the night at the airport where nothing happened.
Although Yue Jiajun had no experience, he had heard Xu Wang recount it, so he was equally nervous at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Fan sighed softly: "Sorry, I don't know that either."
The friends in the whole house were flashed together.
Wang Ran's black line: "Do you know anything about that?"
Mr. Fan smiled: "How to leave the owl early."
Fifteen friends: "..."
What is a good seller? When it comes to selling oranges, it definitely doesn't sell apples.
"You have to collect all the badges from levels 1-13, and then hand in the papers successfully on 13/23. After handing in the papers, the owl will send you into the 'Wish House' and tell you that it can satisfy a wish under your specific conditions, as you The reward for entering the last ten levels. But don't make a wish, you must clearly say the following password - I want to talk to the owl. Repeat three times, another owl will come out, then you can choose to end it all and leave early. "
Yue Shuai: "Another owl?"
Mr. Fan: "It's just my own distinction. I always feel that the owls who were given various rules and prompts during the crossing were not the same as the owls who talked to me that night, although their voices were exactly the same."
Wu Sheng: "Is it possible that they are the same, but the usual owl is restricted, and the bug caused it to awaken some autonomous consciousness, or is it a partial awakening that caused the bug that night?"
Mr. Fan: "..."
Wu Sheng: "But we have been through the level for so long, and we haven't encountered any bugs, nor have we heard from other passers-by that there is such a bug. Is it possible that it has been fixed? Even if we reach level 13, we can no longer use commands to trigger it. ?"
Mr. Fan: "..."
Wu Sheng: "Mr. Fan?"
Mr. Fan: "My friend, if you need me to attend an academic seminar, the price will be negotiated separately, and I do not promise to provide the light of rational wisdom."
Wu Sheng was going to say something, but someone patted his leg lightly.
Turning his head, it was Xu Wang.
The latter led his gaze, looking around the bookshelves in the room.
"La Traviata", "Wuthering Heights", "Jane Eyre", "Gone with the Wind", "Notre Dame de Paris", "Thorn Birds", "Norwegian Wood", "Love in the Time of Cholera"... all periods, countries, This style of love constitutes the sea of books in the whole room. If you have to find a book from the middle that has nothing to do with love, then there is only the one on the desk - "Think and Grow Rich".
Wu Sheng's eagerness to discuss scientific research was completely settled.
With this seller, either talk about love or talk about money.
"Mr. Fan, Owl asked you to block the road for him, but you didn't agree, so I gave you the second choice, which is to help you leave Owl early?" Gu Nian, who has been silent, said, because he always felt that there was something wrong with the logic in it. .
If it really is as Wu Sheng said, the owl has awakened a part of its self-consciousness, then after being rejected, shouldn't the most common reaction be to persuade again? ? It's like, a person refuses to help you, but you have to give him a "reward", so strange.
"I agree." Mr. Fan tapped on the armrest of the seat, and there was a trace of waves in his calm eyes.
The fifteen friends were stunned.
"I agreed at the time, and promised to help it close the passage." Mr. Fan continued, "It asked me to collect all the badges and break into 13/23. After handing in the papers, don't make a wish in the wishing room, and said three times that I want to talk to the owl. , it will come out, and then tell me the specific closing method."
The fifteen friends were even more confused.
This is exactly the same as the method of leaving the owl early!
"I did as I did. I really wanted to shut down the owl at the time. Anyway, I won't lose anything if I try it. The worst result is to continue to pass 23 levels..." Mr. Fan looked out the window, the sun shining on his face On the top, his clear outline is reflected, but it also reflects the light ridicule in his eyes, "But after level 13, I called out the owl in the wishing room, but it gave me another choice."
"Shut down the owl, or leave the owl early." Wu Sheng probably figured out the direction and outline of this past incident.
Mr. Fan withdrew his distant gaze and looked at him. There was still a difference in the degree of embarrassment between self-examination and being uncovered.
Wu Sheng has never understood such subtle things, and has absolutely no intention of condemning the other party, just seeking truth from facts, so looking at the other party's eyes is calm, even a little dry.
Mr. Fan was happy, and suddenly calmed down: "Yes. When I want to shut down the owl, I am barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. But when I have a pair of shoes, then I have no reason to fight to the death... "
"I chose to leave early, and the owl satisfied me. So you asked me how to close the passage. I really don't know. Those who chose option A have the right to know the content."
Xu Wang: "Does anyone choose A?"
Mr. Fan: "I can only say that the teams that bought information from me and went back basically chose B."
Yue Shuai: "Basically?"
Mr. Fan: "There are other teams who chose C."
Fourteen little friends: "..."
Qian Ai: "When will option C pop up again! If you squeeze toothpaste like this again, I will complain to the Consumers Association whether you believe it or not!"
Mr. Fan: "Option C is to keep going backwards, complete all 23 levels, and then leave."
Qian Ai: "Then what kind of information do you buy? Isn't one million worth it?"
Mr. Fan: "People are willing to fight, but I can't stop them."
Qian Ai: "… "
The world of the rich is so hard to understand! ! !
…
"Ahie—" Fan Peiyang, who was listening to the report, sneezed without thinking.
Zheng Luozhu stopped talking and was concerned: "Boss?"
"It's okay." Fan Peiyang waved his hand and leaned back into the boss's chair, "Continue."
Zheng Luozhu: "This is the relevant information."
Fan Peiyang crouched on the table, crossed his hands against his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I see."
No need for Fan Peiyang to speak, Zheng Luozhu had already left wisely, and helped him to bring him the door thoughtfully.
After the thirteen levels, every level has to be calculated, and every second cannot be taken lightly. Fortunately, this arduous task is strategized, and the boss is bearing it, and he can just follow the instructions.
The leaderboard is going to open again tonight, and a team like them who has just entered the last ten levels will definitely still miss the list.
Zheng Luozhu has no obsession with this, but he always feels that the boss who is used to arrogantly at the top of the list will be more mindful.
It's definitely an owl's fault.
Who would have thought that the list of the first thirteen levels and the last ten levels are completely two independent systems, which do not affect each other and do not see each other. And the teams that have entered the last ten levels will not retreat to the first thirteen levels, regardless of whether they succeed or fail. So much so that until 13/23, they thought they were the best among the owls. As soon as he entered the last ten levels, reality slapped his face hard.
The phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.
Zheng Luozhu hurriedly answered, without even looking at it, he knew who it was.
"Come in again." On the other end of the phone, came the 108th call from the boss.
"Okay." Zheng Luozhu smiled and cried in his heart.
What kind of information do you want to ask this time? Why don't he just come up with a big summary? Report for three or five hours? Otherwise, if the boss thinks of something, he will call him once. If he has a new idea, he will call him once. It is true that there is no need to worry about it, but it will cost you legs.
…
Three teams of fifteen partners left the villa and booked a resort hotel nearby.
The environment on the outskirts of the city is really good, especially at night, when the breeze is bright and the moon is bright.
Fifteen little friends didn't waste a good time, they should eat, drink, sleep, and get up until the end of the month. Some of them ran to the swimming pool, some of them had a drink under the moon, some of them lifted barbells in the gym, and some of them were full of energy. Sitting in the room and thinking about life.
But this time it wasn't Wu Junshi, but Captain Xu.
"What's wrong?" It was rare to see his own captain thinking. Wu Sheng, who originally wanted to go for a swim, sat back on the bed and asked curiously.
Xu Wang frowned at him: "It's so strange."
Wu Sheng was stunned, raised his hand and pointed at himself: "Me?"
"No, your handsomeness is very standard." Xu Wang always wears a white moonlight filter, "I mean the owl is too strange. Since he wants Mr. Fan to help him, why should he give him the second choice?"
If there is no so-called second option of "leaving early", it might be possible to help!
"I still think you're thinking about some unparalleled problem." Wu Sheng pulled the person over, put him on Xu Wang's back very naturally, put his chin on his shoulder, and said leisurely, "You think of an owl as a Program, a program with self-healing capabilities, the problem is well understood.”
As soon as Xu Wang wanted to indulge in this warm embrace, he heard some "program" and some "self-healing", so the gentle scene of moonlight shining on the window lattice suddenly changed into rows of desks and chairs in the classroom.
Behind him is Wu Sheng's primordial spirit. As for the body, he'll be lecturing on the blackboard in front of him.
"A part of the owl has awakened, making it self-conscious, talking to you and Fan, and even setting a password in the thirteenth level to summon it. But for an established program, such an awakening must be a bug, Either rely on external force to eliminate, or rely on its own original algorithm to find bugs and patch."
Xu Wang looked back at him with a little effort: "What the owl did...is the second type?"
"Yes." Wu Sheng couldn't help rubbing his face, and said, "The owl's self-healing, there is no way to erase the awakened consciousness, only in the options given by the awakened consciousness, forcibly add the first one given by the repair function. Two."
Xu Wang's back was warm, but there was still a chill in his heart: "It's expected, no one will give up the easy way."
"Yeah." Wu Sheng hugged the man even tighter, "These are just my guesses, but if you take the embossed board into consideration, the owl's own repair function should be inseparable."
Xu Wang understood what Wu Sheng meant and stopped talking.
Assuming that it is indeed the damage of the embossed board, which leads to the inaccessibility of 10/23, then after the next day, everything will be business as usual, which just fits the logic chain of the conjecture of "self-repairing function".
"Oh yes," Wu Sheng said suddenly, as if remembering something, "Fan Yebai."
Xu Wang didn't understand: "What?"
Wu Sheng said, "Mr. Fan's full name."
Xu Wang was surprised: "How do you know?"
Wu Sheng said: "The speed of submission of papers, 12/23, Du Yin, Fan Yebai, Li Dian, Mu Yixuan, Peng Ye, took 09:46:58. On the whole list, there is only one surnamed Fan, I think it should be him."
Xu Wang: "What do you think?"
Wu Sheng: "I think."
Xu Wang: "Well, that must be it."
After five minutes.
Xu Wang: "You should have told me then."
Wu Sheng: "What?"
Xu Wang: "His full name, maybe he can still be used to get around and haggle the price."
Wu Sheng: "Three-level strategy, it's the version from ten years ago, and it costs another one million to pack it. It's a bit dark."
Xu Wang: "Yes!"
Wu Sheng: "Yeah."
Xu Wang: "..."
Wu Sheng: "..."
Xu Wang: "Do you think that Think and Grow Rich can really make you rich?"
Wu Sheng: "His life is really good."
Xu Wang: "How about we both buy a research book?"
Wu Sheng: "Qian Ai has already placed an order."
Xu Wang: "..."
