Section 9 Blood and Maple (7)
Actually, something really happened.
……
"How's it going?"
Dong Yingqin rushed to the hospital, and when he saw Lu Xinglin in front of the ward, his expression changed slightly.
In the city hospital of City C, the smell of disinfectant water fills the white corridor.
"It's not good, it's just in." Lu Xinglin was wearing a black tracksuit, and said lazily after hearing Dong Yingqin's words.
But on that perfect face, there was a faint blackness under the eyes, as if he hadn't rested since he called last night.
Dong Yingqin was speechless when he saw this, he couldn't understand the "truth" in his tone - he had known this person for so many years, and he actually knew very well that Lu Xinglin treated everything like this, good or bad, difficult, angry or sad, there was only one response.
"It's been more than five hours, but he hasn't contacted us with a PCI." Dong Yingqin stood still and turned to say.
Lu Xinglin thought for a moment before nodding: "It seems that the new calculation method some time ago...... Did you really find something? ”
Dong Yingqin was silent.
Players who play the world of ashes often spontaneously assemble into large or small organizations, each organization has its own way of dealing with the world of ashes, programs, or analysis of data, or calculation methods are different, the so-called ancient saying of the Star Kingdom "Eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers" is this situation.
"The new calculations, coupled with the program's calculations of a sudden burst of data in City C, and that night, there was a homicide where a woman named Nadeshiko Fujii was killed with a knife in her home." Dong Yingqin was silent for a moment before recalling, "But it's not so much a home, it's a shrine she built in her villa." ”
"Ah, it's still a shrine with the wrong structure, a half-baked thing." Lu Xinglin softened.
"Cai Jie said that he was very familiar with that building, and he found the haunted house called 'Ghost Girl's House'."
Lu Xinglin raised his eyebrows: "You said yesterday that you went to investigate, did you find anything?" ”
"Yes, the common denominator is that the settings are all made up by the plotters, and although they are similar on the surface, the shrine and the Japanese wind are just carriers - even the setting of the 'House of Ghost Girls' was born out of the killed Fujii Nadeshiko."
It's easy to talk about these things in the hospital and give the illusion of being miserable.
"Coincidence?" However, Lu Xinglin was lazy and didn't care much.
One is a room in a wealthy area that has been converted into a shrine, and the other is a haunted house in the suburbs almost diagonally.
"I can't investigate further, it's harder for me to find out what's in reality than in a game." Dong Yingqin said.
"You just don't want to break the rules." Lu Xinglin snorted.
By this time he had opened the door and walked into the hospital room.
This is a single ward, Cai Jie is lying on the bed, he has been changed into a hospital gown, and he looks very calm with his eyes closed.
The reason is unknown, a bit similar to the state of a vegetative person - but Lu Xinglin and Dong Yingqin know that he has entered the world of ashes in this situation, and if he takes off for a while, he may have to be "killed".
"There are a little more obstacles than you think." Lu Xinglin pulled a chair and sat down next to him, his legs crossed, his slender fingers swiping across the open PCI screen.
"Last night...... You've failed again? ”
"yes." Speaking of this matter, Lu Xinglin responded very simply, and it didn't seem to be a shame.
In fact, he has been quite declining recently, and nothing is wrong in this regard.
"Challenging the rules now will cause a lot of trouble, have you forgotten that you are still a thorn in the side of the 'King's Sword'?" Dong Yingqin was silent for a moment, pushed his glasses, turned around and glanced out of the door before closing it, turned to the head of the bed, picked up the kettle and poured water, "Do you want a cup?" ”
"Thank you." Lu Xinglin replied.
Two transparent water glasses were drawn, and there was a white mist on the boiling water - both glasses of water were poured two-thirds of the capacity of the cups, and they were exactly the same.
Another obsessive-compulsive person.
Lu Xinglin took the water and took a sip.
"Without touching the King's Sword prevention mechanism, we can't crack it any further...... How long do you think you can maintain the 'green level' in their judgment. Dong Yingqin looked at him in a serious tone.
Of course, green is not a cuckold, and it is subject to three or something.
Green and red are opposites, the former being "safe" and the latter being "vigilant" - they know that the King's Sword has a set of judgment mechanisms for the player, although the criteria are unknown, but under this evaluation system, the player has only two meanings for the King's Sword, "enemy" and "person who can be exploited", or "friend".
"Until they lose interest in silence, it's probably safe." Lu Xinglin was vague.
"I heard that some time ago, in order to gain this time, you made a deal with the 'King's Sword' and handed him over, and Ling Yao will help you submit a 'unqualified' evaluation suggestion." Dong Yingqin frowned and said, "I think you're putting yourself in danger." ”
"Yes, yes, the King's Sword is not interested in us, it is estimated that it is only temporary, and when your identity is exposed, I and this guy will probably be affected." Lu Xinglin pointed to Cai Jie, who was still lying down, curled his lips and smiled, "But ah, we have other ways now?" ”
Dong Yingqin was silent.
"Sword of Kings has been controlling gamers for a long time, and it's hard to get some news around them, and we can hardly find friends in this regard." Lu Xinglin continued, "When things become things that can only protect themselves, it will actually become very simple. ”
"I thought that a proud person like you would directly plot against them."
"Aha." Lu Xinglin tilted his head and spread his hands and said, "I'm very cowardly, although there is a little power in reality, but in the game, I can only obediently bow my head and be a man." ”
However, that possibility is not dismissed.
"It's a terrible situation." After a brief pause, Dong Yingqin concluded, "We lack the means to control the world of ashes, even a little. ”
"Not to mention the means, there is no way to follow up on the ash world that this idiot has been involved in." Lu Xinglin said with a smile.
Dong Yingqin glanced at Cai Jie when he heard this, and thought it was true.
And now there seems to be no other way.
"The words of foreign aid...... Isn't there a breakthrough for Ling Yao? Dong Yingqin thought about it and asked again.
Lu Xinglin laughed, as if he had heard some very funny joke: "She now looks at me and Joan of Arc who saw the Black Prince who invaded France, and it is good not to grab me by the handle and send me to the guillotine of the King's Sword." ”
Dong Yingqin: "......"
Silence again.
Dong Yingqin hung his head, as if he was thinking about countermeasures.
Lu Xinglin's slender fingers played with the empty cup that had no water
Just then, he received an email-
