"It's a special place, but for myself, it's a home for me. The old man looked at the empty space and said with some emotion and sentimentality.

Seeing that the old man was starting to tell a story, Fang Jin quietly sat down and planned to listen carefully.

Although the story is not necessarily true, it often reveals some of the most authentic information.

"Everything you just dreamed of is actually what I have been through. ”

"I've been the boarding director of this school for almost 50 years. ”

"Life is as planned, but it's also boring. ”

The old man sat on the ground, holding the cane to his chest, his eyes looking into the empty void, and his face was not filled with the joy and joy that had begun at first, but was immersed like a pool of stagnant water.

After all those years, he was able to see so much and see clearly.

From the beginning of the passionate and ambitious, to the later indignation and frustration, to the end of the indifference and leisurely careless.

There are many things that cannot be forced, so you can only follow the trend.

"I was angry and resentful, but in the end I realized that this was the chaos of the world, and the only thing he could do was to adapt. ”

After accepting it, I also found that life is just like that, there is nothing thrilling, and some are only happy with what happens. ”

The old man looked at Fang Jin and Ruan Ling at this time.

Fang Jin didn't say it for the time being, Ruan Ling looked at his gaze and felt pity, in fact, where is there anything worthy of pity, most people live like this.

"Then suddenly I woke up one day, and a voice asked me, 'What is your desire?'

Fang Jin frowned, this opening is very much like the opening of some kind of cool novel.

Why is there a voice all of a sudden, suddenly there is a system, suddenly there is something that can change your fate in an instant?

But the more unknown things are, the more mysterious and dangerous they are.

Because behind it stands a force that you have never been exposed to, and you have no way of knowing whether it is good or bad, how its past is unknowable, and its future is unpredictable.

"Well, how can that kind of good thing befall me, so I ignore it, and just think it's just a bad dream in my head. ”

"I can't think of it......"

The old man smiled helplessly, he was always old, and it was not so easy to accept new things.

But this time it seems that he can't refuse.

"When I woke up, I realized that my wish seemed to have been recognized and granted. ”

"So," Hibiscus looked around, hollow, "is your wish to be like this?"

"No, no......" the old man shook his head.

He took out his crutches again and tapped lightly on the dark wall.

Fang Jin instantly heard the old man's previous shout, and he didn't know whether Ruan Ling's waking up was the effect of him hitting him twice with his cane, or whether his later yelling was the effect.

"Not quite, to say the least. ”

As the old man spoke, the wall he was knocking on gradually became transparent and bright, and Fang Hibiscus was looking intently when he suddenly saw a small blue circle spinning in the middle.

Belch......

Not long after the circle was spinning, the whole wall actually lit up again, and then a still painting appeared.

Belch......

"Well, you have to get up. The old man sighed, hammered his legs and stood up, he couldn't do it when he was old, and his legs and feet would be sore after sitting for a while.

Slowly pacing past, gently moving up a little, the appearance of the wall changed again.

The landscape painting on the entire wall changed, and several colored rays of light spread out, and the walls of the entire room changed.

Before Fang Jin could do anything, he felt that the familiar cool breeze enveloped him, he felt relieved, looked at Ruan Ling and paid attention to not having an accident.

"Don't be nervous, just turn on the phone and let you see what's going on above. The old man said.

After less than two seconds, the appearance of the entire space changed, and it became the same room that Fang Jin and Ruan Ling entered before, if you want to say anything different, it is dirty!

Fang Jin frowned and squatted down, here is a one-to-one restoration of that room, and the restoration is extremely real, it's just ...... It's just a simulation.

Fang Hibiscus reached out and touched the blood that looked like it had congealed, and it touched the smooth ground.

"Definitely. "Didn't get out of here.

"That's what the scene in that room looks like now. The old man shook his head and said, looking at the chair, "It's all a fantasy, and you can't sit even if you want to." Otherwise, he wouldn't have sat on the ground except standing, and these two wouldn't be very comfortable for a long time.

"Computers. All the scenes just now are exactly the same as when the computer is turned on, and Fang Jin doesn't know how to describe the gap in his heart, feeling deceived and unconsciously accepting the gap.

"Actually, it's okay, but it's quite versatile. The old man said with a smile.

Feeling that the cold air around him had been circling around and a little uneasy, Fang Jin felt that he should quickly solve the matter here.

"So, what the hell is going on? What exactly is your desire?" or what kind of wish is it that causes this change?

"After all, old age is a bit too boring, and it's ......"

……

In the end, Fang Hibiscus got it.

This old man has been in charge of the dormitory, except for the students who will complain a few words no one will remember him, although the school is willing to give him a more relaxed position when he is unwell, but there are always some rumors and rumors that flow out, he is too old to use, plus the death of the old man, there is always a feeling of not being needed haunted in the heart.

Although he didn't show it to outsiders out of his reluctance to continue to cause trouble, the snow in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

As soon as that mysterious voice appeared, all the fear and sadness he had buried was amplified for a moment, and then realized.

The way to achieve it is very rough, the master of the sound directly creates that terrifying scene, as long as someone comes in to investigate, they will be frightened, no matter what the result will become, at least on the surface, it can indeed attract the attention of others, but it is not necessarily whether it can attract it or not.

Maybe he will fire this old man because he doesn't know how important it is, after all, the housekeeper is an idle errand, and some people who don't have any education but have connections are more or less willing to do this errand.

Because the old man's wish is: he wants others to pay more attention to him and talk to him more.

The voice locked the old man up and didn't let him out, and waited for the little fish to take the bait by himself.

But according to the old man, they were still the only, nay, only two people to enter this place in so long.

"No, as a dormitory manager, you need to report the situation of the dormitory every day, how can others not find out that you are missing?" Ruan Ling said that she had listened to it for a long time and felt that cause and effect were a little incompatible.

The old man smiled mysteriously and did not answer, but Fang Hibiscus suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, when did you find out you're here?" There was a flash of inspiration in Fang Hibiscus's mind, but it was a little too fast to catch it.

The old man was a little surprised, was he able to grasp this little bit of information?

Sure enough, this person is different.

"Here. The old man whispered on the ground again, and suddenly a window popped up, on which a screenshot was recorded, "It's the time." ”

He's also old, and he can't remember the details after too long, and this screenshot is just right to help him.

It's been a long time since then!

Fang Hibiscus lowered his body and looked carefully at the Y hour S of the XX year.

The time coincided with his investigation of the earthquake accident at the school, which can hardly be called a coincidence.

And what kind of sound and this space, at first glance, it is not obtained by ordinary people, there is definitely an inexplicable force manipulating it.

But with his current qualifications, he doesn't know where to start.

"Ruan Ling, have you ever received anything strange?" Fang Jin suddenly turned his head and asked.

He received a card and got something like a game bar, would Ruan Ling have something similar?

Suddenly, the data below is updated, Ruan Ling's favorability is 30, and the fear value is 58 (+10).

The fear value has increased by 10 all of a sudden, which seems to be strange.

"Why did you suddenly ask that?" Ruan Ling suddenly looked vigilant and took a few steps back.

In fact, it has been so long that Hibiscus has also figured out some of the functions of this game bar, and it is not something that anyone's favorability can detect, it must be that Hibiscus has had physical contact with that person.

For example, this old man, because he has never been close, naturally he doesn't know the changes in the other party's emotional value.

This so-called game bar also plays an auxiliary role, helping Hibiscus to see a person more steadily and quickly.

"What do you get?"

Ruan Ling glanced at it, she was undecided now and didn't know how to choose.

Since Fang Jin said this, she must have discovered something, but she refrained from showing it all the time, except for being too panicked at the beginning and showing a little.

But Fang Jin obviously didn't notice this either, otherwise she wouldn't have asked her now.

But Qin Qing once suggested that she should not be exposed as a last resort, after all, this is a life-saving hole card, in this intricate cycle, one more hole card is one more life, and if it is exposed too much, it is likely to become a shield for others.

Although what Qin Qing said is a bit dark, it is also true that in a complex environment, people's hearts are always unreliable.

So to say it or not to say it, it is a very influential decision.

"What are you asking for?" Ruan Ling thought and thought about it, and said such a sentence.

Fang Jin knew that she wouldn't say anything if she didn't give Ruan Ling a sense of security, "I received a card of unknown origin during the twenty days I participated in the loop, and that card gave me a database of mood values similar to a game bar......"

Sentiment value?

Ruan Ling's shock value is 67.

Although this thing seems useless, it can basically tell whether one is lying or not, which is a very important tool and reliance for people who are stuck in the loop!
