XXXVI. Virtual space
Gao Jin knew that Zhang Min's office was on the twenty-seventh floor, and after entering the Heliang Building, he wanted to go up to her directly. But as soon as he walked to the elevator, he was stopped by two security guards. The security guard questioned him and then informed him that outsiders were not allowed to go to the company's office without an appointment.
In front of the two tall security guards who were like door gods, Gao Jin said a lot. But the two were unmoved, and just asked him to go to the reception desk and tell the receptionist that they didn't care about anything else. This made Gao Jin deeply understand the helplessness of the so-called "show talent meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable to say".
So, he had to go back to the lobby and go to the front desk reception.
The receptionists were two women, very polite and very polite. Gao Jin explained to them that he was Zhang Min's classmate and came to look for her, but his phone calls to her were always unavailable, and he hoped to help him contact Zhang Min.
The two receptionists asked Gao Jin to wait for a moment. Then one of them made a phone call and whispered something. The other is operated on a computer. Although Gao Jin was a little anxious, it was useless to be anxious now, so he had to wait patiently.
It didn't take long, and the one who called soon informed Gao Jin. Manager Zhang Min was not in the company, and her secretary said that she had been abroad for several days and could not be contacted for the time being.
Another said that there were no appointments on the computer records. If he wants to contact Manager Zhang Min, he can leave his contact information, and the secretary will arrange a time and notify him when Manager Zhang Min returns.
Gao Jin listened to the words of the two, and although he was not satisfied, he also obtained a useful information. That is, the news that Zhang Min was in distress, and the people in the company did not know about it.
Extrapolating further, there are two possible scenarios for this to occur. One is that the top management has blocked the news and prevented the lower staff from knowing the truth. This is usually to avoid the leakage of information, which can lead to some surprises. The other is the news that Zhang Min had an accident, and the whole company did not know about it, or she did not have an accident.
But no matter what, it was confirmed that Zhang Min had lost contact with such a key issue.
Gao Jin thought for a moment and asked the receptionist: "Then what about Uncle Zhang He, that is, Chairman Zhang, is he in the company, can you let me talk to him on the phone?" I really have something important to find Zhang Min. ”
"Well, please wait a moment, I'll help you get in touch." The woman, who looked more mature and seemed to be in charge, picked up the phone and began to whisper again.
After a while, she handed the phone to Gao Jin and said, "Mr. Gao, the chairman's secretary said that it is inconvenient for Zhang Dong to talk on the phone, you have something to tell her, and she will help you convey it." Here's her phone. ”
Gao Jin was a little disappointed, but when he saw that the microphone had arrived in front of him, he had to take it and put it to his ear. He said, "Hey, hello, my name is Gao Jin. ”
A sweet female voice came from the phone: "Hello, I am Zhang Dong's secretary, and my surname is Liu." Does Mr. Gao have anything to do with Mr. Zhang? Zhang Dong happened to have a very important memory, and it was inconvenient to answer the phone. You might as well sue me first, and let me convey it to you, okay? ”
Gao Jin had goosebumps all over his body, and he felt very uncomfortable, and said: "That's the case, I'm Zhang Min's old classmate, and I haven't been able to get through to her phone recently, so I came to see her, and I also want to visit Uncle Zhang He by the way." I wonder when he will have time? ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Min's classmate. It's really unfortunate that Chairman Zhang went to a meeting in other places. This way, you leave your contact information at the front desk. When he comes back, I'll make an appointment for you to meet, okay? "The voice is sweet and gentle, and it feels really hard to refuse.
Gao Jin could only say thank you, and then hung up the phone. Then he left his phone number at the reception and asked them to relay it for him.
Walking out of the Heliang Building, Gao Jin felt dazed and a little depressed. I thought to myself, maybe I should go to the police and let the police help investigate. But with only a short message, I'm afraid it's hard to believe. What should I do?
While thinking about things, I was walking, and suddenly I felt that the sun was very dazzling. It turned out that he had just walked out of the shadow of the Heliang Building, and the afternoon sun was so sparkling that he couldn't open his eyes, and subconsciously reached out to block the top of his head.
Suddenly, a beam of light flashed through Gao Jin's eyes. He looked down and saw the reflection of the necklace gem at the mouth of his heart, which hit his own eyes. He immediately wanted to slap himself in the mouth, secretly scolding himself for being stupid to the extreme. is only concerned about Zhang Min's safety, how can he forget such an important thing?
Gao Jin hurriedly rushed back to his residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he immediately rushed into his room and locked the door. Then he took out the ruby pendant that hung from his heart, stretched out his right index finger, and pressed it against the ruby. According to the method of condensing spiritual power bullets, the spiritual power was gathered to the fingertips.
It was the familiar feeling of electric currents spreading all over his body, and Gao Jin saw that all the scenery around him was changing rapidly in an indescribable way. After just a few breaths, he was completely in a boundless and empty space.
This is the so-called virtual space. Gao Jin only knew that this qiē was not a real existence, but a simulated space similar to a dream-like space formed after a nerve was stimulated somewhere in the brain. But that's all he knows.
The feeling here is so real, and yet so illusory, that Gao Jin is very strange. He looked up and saw that it was like the sky, so high and empty, but it was all gray and white at the end. He lowered his head again and looked at his feet. I couldn't help but be taken aback.
For he was standing on the void, and under his feet was nothingness. And the place below I don't know how far away is also white.
At this moment, a huge light curtain suddenly appeared in front of Gao Jin, immediately attracting his gaze. I saw that the light curtain was formed by countless tiny white points of light, and a huge human face was displayed on it. It seems to be some kind of digital simulation, not a real human face.
"Hello, master, Galaxy Star 70132 is at your service." The eyes of the human face on the light curtain opened, and then said. The voice seems to act directly on Gao Jin's brain, like a woman's voice, but it looks like it's just digitally synthesized.
Gao Jin recovered from the initial shock and accepted the qiē thing. He looked at the light curtain as big as a basketball court more than ten meters away in front of him, and said, "I want to achieve the effect of body energy, that is, to become the kind that can freely penetrate the wall." ”
When he went with Zhao Da to deal with the horse-headed monster before, he had experienced that wonderful way of penetrating buildings. At that time, Zhao Da said that it was because his body was energized, so he was able to avoid being blocked by buildings.
Gao Jin now wants this ability, so that he can penetrate the wall and go directly to the top floor of the Heliang Building to find Zhang Min's father.
The faces on the light curtain turned into many numeric symbols, as well as some unintelligible text patterns. After a while, it changed back to that face.
Its mouth opened and closed, and a voice came out: "I'm sorry, master, this function can't be activated yet, because your spiritual power is not enough to support the transformation of the body, so it can't be activated." Moreover, in the absence of a spiritual mission, this feature is also allowed. ”
"This ......" Gao Jin was greatly disappointed, he thought that he could use this ability to penetrate objects to find Zhang Min's father and tell him the information that Zhang Min was in danger, but now he couldn't do it.
Gao Jin thought for a moment, changed his mind, and asked, "So, I want to find the current location of a mortal, or some information related to her recently, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"Yes, master. All you have to do is imagine what this person looks like and then say her name to help you find information about her. You need to consume 50 contribution points at a time, do you agree to enable it? ”
Gao Jin was a little happy when he heard the word can at first, but later he heard that a query would cost fifty contribution points. I can't help but be a little speechless. But I had no choice but to nod and agree.
Then, he began to recall Zhang Min's appearance. At the same time, a wonderful change took place in the light curtain. Soon, a picture exactly like what Gao Jin had in mind appeared. It was a certain moment when Zhang Min was on the shooting range, focusing on shooting. Gao Jin was very impressed.
"This person's name is Zhang Min, you can help me check where she is now." Gao Jin tried to keep his tone calm. He was both excited and a little uneasy at the moment. Not only do I want to know about Zhang Min's situation, but I am afraid of knowing any bad news, and the situation is quite complicated.
The curtain of light gradually turned into a map, and the contents on it were rapidly changing, interspersed with many incomprehensible text symbols. Gao Jin knew that this was a large-scale search, and his eyes were staring at the changes on the light curtain, unwilling to miss any detail.
After a long while, the change of the map on the light curtain stopped. Then, it was the same face again. Still expressionless, it said, "I'm sorry, master." Zhang Min is not within the scope of the Eastern Spirit Realm, and I can't determine her location. Only two pieces of information related to her were found. ”
"What! Can't find it? How so? Gao Jin hurriedly asked.
The face in the light curtain replied, "I can only search within the area of the Eastern Spirit Realm, and I cannot enter the Western Spirit Realm. Because I don't have the appropriate authorization. ”
"This ......" Gao Jin was silent. Only then did he remember that the spiritual realm was divided into two parts, east and west, corresponding to the east and west hemispheres of the earth. And they seem to be doing their own thing, and they don't interfere with each other.,Except when it's time to capture the dead or monsters that cross the line.,Usually they're not willing to cooperate with each other.。
After a moment, Gao Jin sighed. Asked, "So what are the two pieces of information you found?" Sue me. ”
