Chapter 322: The So-Called Code Name (Virtual or Real?) )
The gun shoots the first bird.
The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.
This is Zheng Ming's calloused words since he was a child, which can be regarded as a kind warning and reminder, and there is truth in it, but it is not very correct.
At least the person who said this to him, while conforming to the herd in everything, was hoping that he was a different kind of fireworks in the world.
Of course, Zheng Ming is no exception. He wanted to be special, and he believed that he was the only color that bloomed in the world. He doesn't deny it.
So when the picturesque woman named Merlin said the phrase "You are special", it would be a bit false to say that he was not touched by it.
However, if he decided to listen to Zhang Yu's retention, the reason for joining the anomalous society was because of Mei Lan's words, it didn't seem very appropriate.
That's right, Zheng Ming joined this and it was suspicious just to hear the name. Neither the members nor their statements are convincing to the community.
As for the reason. He didn't know very well, either.
Maybe there were so many deviations between this world and his previous life that he wanted to use this Strange Society as an opportunity to find out the truth.
Maybe he just wanted to see if these so-called "Strangers" really had abilities as they said they were, or if they were just some conjectures from the late middle and second stages.
"If they're just a bunch of actors who like to role-play, they should be exposed soon. And if what they say is true, then it is necessary to figure out why they can't use their abilities. Thinking so, he silently found a spare chair and sat down alone.
As for Zhang Yu? He took Zheng Ming back to the Anomaly Society, and after saying hello to everyone, he went out on his own. didn't seem to care at all about how embarrassing Zheng Ming, who had just arrived, to strange members in this unfamiliar environment. Zheng Ming also had a lot of slander in his heart.
"The Immortal? After living for so many years, will you turn a blind eye to these people? After complaining secretly, Zheng Ming sat alone in the corner of the conference table in the center of the room, holding a paper cup with instant coffee, and looked at the remaining three people in the room quietly.
Xiao Ling, codenamed hypnotist, was sitting with his back to Zheng Ming at this time by the door of the room, holding a thermos cup suspected of containing tea and drinking it unhurriedly. The headphone cable extending from the other party's ears and his shaking head and shaking his legs and beating the beat from time to time can be seen that he may be listening to music?
And Mei Lan, who was codenamed the guide, did not answer any questions from Zheng Ming after interjecting coldly behind Zheng Ming before, and returned to the window position again, holding the thick book and reading it quietly.
As for the short and fat man named Ma Yan, he was in the far corner of the room from beginning to end, with his back to everyone and typing wildly on the computer keyboard in front of him. The fat body, because of its fierce movements, keeps shaking, it looks completely funny from behind, and a little obscene?
Observing this, Zheng Ming sighed secretly in his heart. The members here seem to be in this state on a regular basis? Each was immersed in their own world, and they didn't have much intention of communicating, even Zheng Ming, a newcomer, was in the room, and they were all doing their own things.
"It seems that if you want to get information, you can only take the initiative to say hello."
After waiting for a while, seeing that none of the three had the intention of talking to him, a "newcomer", Zheng Ming had no choice but to stand up lightly under the excuse of throwing paper cups.
"That's you."
After glancing around, Zheng Ming finally set his eyes on the fat back that was constantly trembling.
Approaching Ma Yan's back lightly, Zheng Ming stood in place and waited for a while.
Ma Yan didn't seem to notice Zheng Ming's approach, and was still tapping on the keyboard over there, while his mouth kept fragmenting.
"Yo, the little thing is quite chic, I think this will stump the master?" "You like bad mouth, don't you?" I've dug up all the stupid things you've done since you were a child. "Hehe, I didn't expect that in reality he is still a young talent who looks like a dog. I really don't see it. ”…………
Hearing Ma Yan's self-talk clearly, Zheng Ming looked at the three monitors in front of Ma Yan curiously. I saw that there were codes constantly passing over it, and with the hand speed of Ma Yan, which can be called a ghost animal, it spread wildly at an invisible-to-see speed. At the same time, on the monitor on the side, countless pop-up windows kept popping up and closing at the speed of the naked eye, and at a glance, you could see a photo of a young man with eyes, which frequently appeared in the pop-up window.
Zheng Ming probably understood what Ma Yan was doing, so he coughed lightly, intending to wake up Ma Yan, who was stunned.
"Ahem."
With two coughs, the previous keyboard tapping sound that seemed like a storm stopped, and you could clearly feel the fat on Ma Yan's body tremble, and then fell into a stiff state as if petrified.
"Uh...... Hello, Ma Yan, right? Don't know where the bin is? ”
Zheng Ming certainly knew that the dumpster was in an inconspicuous corner behind the door of the room, which he had noticed before. The reason for this question is just to find an excuse to start the topic.
Sure enough, hearing Zheng Ming's inquiry, Ma Yan, who was still frozen in place like a stone statue before, turned his neck stiffly, looked at Zheng Ming, and then looked at the garbage bags piled up under his feet, and squeezed out a smile.
"The dumpster is over the door. However, I usually find it too much trouble, so I have a garbage bag under the seat and throw it directly into the garbage container in the corridor outside when I go out. ”
"At the door?"
Seeing Zheng Ming looking at the door with a puzzled expression, and looking back at himself again, Ma Yan sighed: "Hey, forget it." You can just throw it in the garbage bag at my feet. ”
Zheng Ming smiled shyly when he heard this, and while bending down to throw away the disposable paper cups, he also sorted out the garbage bags that were wide open and slumped on the ground.
Ma Yan saw all this in his eyes, and his favorability for this new face suddenly increased, and most of the dissatisfaction that he was startled before disappeared.
Taking advantage of Zheng Ming's bending over to sort out the garbage, after quickly turning off the monitor, Ma Yan said to Zheng Ming who got up: "Your name is Zheng Ming, right?" ”
"yes, yes."
"Do you have what you can do? The Immortals and the Guides seem to like you very much. I think I've heard them talk about your name before, but I didn't pay much attention to the game at the time. ”
"Ability? Hmmm......"
Seeing that Zheng Ming looked embarrassed and didn't speak, he turned his head and looked at Zheng Ming's Ma Yan with his neck up, and suddenly stood up by touching his neck.
"It's uncomfortable to talk like this, let's go sit at the conference table over there and talk."
"Okay."
Zheng Ming, who was still thinking about what ability he should say, saw that the other party took the initiative to skip this stubble, and immediately nodded happily.
……
"No, it's coffee. I see you've been drinking coffee before, so you should be fine. ”
"No problem."
Zheng Ming glanced at Ma Yan's greasy fat hands, as well as the disposable paper cups handed over, and then quietly put them in front of him.
At this time, Ma Yan had just opened a can of Coke and poured it violently, and he didn't pay much attention to Zheng Ming's actions.
"Click~, it's still cold and cool! Hiccup~~~"
Zheng Ming looked at Ma Yan, who was burping again and again without an image in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and took advantage of the fact that the other party did not continue the previous question, and casually found a topic and took the initiative to ask: "When the members were introduced before, they were all referred to by code names, why are you the only name?" Or is Ma Yan your code name? ”
Ma Yan, who was still sour, was stunned when he heard Zheng Ming's question, and Zheng Ming immediately learned from the other party's expression feedback that he seemed to have stepped on a minefield.
Just when Zheng Ming felt that this move to listen to intelligence was going to be in vain, Ma Yan, whose face was uncertain, calmed down, and slowly spoke with a complicated expression.
"The Eternal, who has the power of immortality. I also investigated him for this reason, and although I didn't find any images of him, I did find several people who matched his description. The identity deeds are basically gentle, the same face is tender, the same age is not obvious, and the same integrity and light and strong disappear for no reason. There were even several people who had posted messages about his disappearance in the hope of finding him. Hehe, Zhang Yu's appearance is not bad, his temperament and conversation are very decent, but he is a person who has experienced a lot of romantic affairs. It's really a leaf in the thousands of flowers that doesn't stick to it! Ma Yan paused for a moment with a sour face when he said this, and there was a lot of irony in his tone.
As if he was also aware of the undoubted jealousy he expressed, Ma Yan took a deep breath and continued after calming down: "Hypnotist, Xiao Ling. As the name suggests, it has hypnotic powers. Although there are many hypnotists, his hypnosis can indeed be called an ability. He doesn't even need prolonged contact or verbal cues, nor does he need the aid of sound or medicinal incense, and even strangers who meet for the first time can quickly hypnotize them by just eye contact. This is not the kind of hypnosis that reinforces suggestion through tireless repetition of instructions. Of course, his hypnosis is also divided into objects. Especially for those who are weak-willed, the effect is good and it works quickly. Speaking of this, Ma Yan also deliberately glanced at Xiao Ling, who was shaking his head in the corner of the room, with unconcealed fear and worry in his eyes.
"His abilities are too dangerous. Especially in a civilized society that pays attention to order. I don't know if I was hypnotized by him, whether what I was doing was intentional or at his command. But it's really convenient to talk about his abilities. If only I had that ability. It was a waste to give it to him! Ma Yan, who was still full of fear and yearning, said indignantly without knowing what he had in mind.
Seeing that Ma Yan introduced Zhang Yu and Xiao Ling's abilities, Zheng Ming subconsciously looked at Mei Lan who was leaning against the window.
Ma Yan also noticed Zheng Ming's actions, and after also glancing at the Rulan woman by the window, he explained softly: "Guide, Mei Lan." I still don't know exactly what her abilities are. However, whenever she pointed out a name, the owner of that name was bound to be accompanied by an anomaly. It is said that most of the members of the Anomaly Society were discovered by her. She has contributed a lot to the establishment of the Anomalous Society. Everyone respects her, so her status is very detached. ”
"What about you? Do you have a computer to do with your abilities? ”
The information revealed by Ma Yan Zheng Ming was more or less aware of it through his previous observations, and it can be said that he has not received unexpected new information until now.
Seeing Zheng Ming's direct question, Ma Yan smiled bitterly and explained vaguely: "Of course...... You can think so too. I'm sure you can see it too. All people's code names are tied to their abilities. And the reason why I don't have a code name is because they don't think I'm capable. ”
"Can I enter the Anomaly Society without the ability?" Zheng Ming asked with some confusion.
"That's what they think. I've always believed that I'm capable, and they do need members who are familiar with networking and computer operations, so ......"
Having said this, Zheng Ming suddenly understood. The members here all have unexplained abilities, and only Ma Yan's computer skills can be learned and copied, so everyone does not recognize Ma Yan as an alien. However, Ma Yan himself thinks that his ability is an ability, and it should be far less trivial than what the other party said if he can join here.
As if stimulated by Zheng Ming's thoughtful expression, Ma Yan's white and chubby face turned red. It's not that I'm ashamed, it looks more like I'm angry.
"I was named by the guide. Obviously, they were the first to contact me, and after pulling me into this world, they said that I was an ordinary person? What are you kidding? When do you miss a guide? Compared to them, my abilities are closer to the truth of this world. ”
Zheng Ming was taken aback by Ma Yan's sudden fierce tone, and touched his nose awkwardly when he saw the eyes cast by the remaining two people in the room. Especially Mei Lanbo's sparkling eyes, Zheng Ming was a little uneasy.
"Ha, haha...... I'm hungry, I'm going out for something to eat, are you coming? After laughing a few times, Zheng Ming pulled Rama Yan, and then walked out of the door of the anomaly club quickly.
At this time, Ma Yan also noticed Mei Lan's gaze. Thinking of the previous words, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, nodded at Mei Lan and followed quickly.
In the room, only Xiao Ling, who took off his headphones and was confused, and Mei Lan, who was reading the book in his hand again with his eyes turning.
"What's wrong with the little fat man? I vaguely heard him mention you. Xiao Ling took off the headphones he had just put on again, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
Only he and Merlin were left in the room, and it was self-evident who he was asking questions.
So Mei Lan, who had just entered the world of the book, sighed lightly, hung up the bookmark, closed the book, and said to Xiao Ling: "You should usually pay more attention to your attitude towards Ma Yan. I think he's got a lot of resentment. That's why I lost my temper when faced with newcomers' questions. ”
In response to Mei Lan's reminder, Xiao Ling asked inexplicably: "Have we done anything to him?" ”
"Of all the members of the Anomaly Society, he's the only one who doesn't have a code name, doesn't that tell the story? You people think you're special, you think you're better than ordinary people, you all think you're superior......"
"When did we come out of nowhere? We're just not sociable. Don't talk like you're approachable. If you want to say that you are superior, you are the loneliest among those of us, right? ”
"I'm talking about attitudes and thoughts, and you're talking about appearances." Speaking of which, Mei Lan, who didn't bother to argue or anything, picked up the book and walked towards the door.
"Hey~ What am I arguing with you about? In the end, we are all just poor creatures who are aware of our roles in the established script but have to play them. The sober and the drunk are all human beings, so what is there to be proud of? ”
Xiao Ling looked at Mei Lan's back and disappeared outside the door after leaving a sentence in a daze for a long time, and then he came back to his senses and glanced at the headphones that were faintly emitting a hoarse shout, and suddenly felt bored.
"I can't hear the lyrics clearly, I can't understand the spirit of the cry, it's just a vent. Oh, but that's it. ”
