Chapter 21: The ex who didn't break up

Dead City, in a café.

Zhang Yi stood in front of his companions, thinking a lot of things in his heart, but he couldn't say them when he saw people, so he stupidly said "Hi".

The woman in front of her was slightly stunned, looked at Zhang Yi, and also replied "Hi".

"Come in." Zhang Yi looked back in a daze, without the slightest look that a young surgeon should have.

The woman just smiled, looked at Zhang Yi's turned back, and subconsciously followed.

At the table facing the street, the two sat opposite each other, smiling at each other, but they didn't say anything, but the atmosphere was awkward for a while.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yi held back a few words from his mouth: "That...... Long time no see! ”

The woman nodded, "Hmm" and said, "Long time no see." ”

At this time, Cheng Cheng, an enthusiastic genius psychic, sent a cup of hot "Dark Wizard Cat's Eye Coffee", looked at Zhang Yi and the woman in the dress, felt the breath of the two, thought about it carefully, put the coffee in front of the woman in the dress, and after getting up, said to the woman in the dress: "Sister, are you Mr. Shadow Dancer's girlfriend, you are so good-looking." ”

In the eyes of the maid, compared to Mr. Shadow Dancer with the smell of blood on his body, it is obvious that the sister in front of him is more suitable for cat's eye coffee! This is the psychic's inherently powerful ability to perceive.

At this time, Zhang Yi returned to his old demeanor, and smiled at Cheng Cheng: "How can you tell that she is my girlfriend?" ”

Cheng Cheng blinked, and said with some embarrassment: "Is it a couple relationship, isn't this kind of thing obvious to a discerning person at a glance?" But you two seem to be arguing, huh? ”

When the genius psychic said this, he saw Zhang Yi glaring at him, hurriedly stuck out his tongue, walked away with a smile, and returned the silent atmosphere to Zhang Yi and the others.

Zhang Yi looked carefully at the beautiful woman in front of him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he glanced at the cat's eye coffee and said, "This coffee is for you." ”

The woman nodded, didn't say anything, and said for a long time: "So, I haven't seen you for more than two years, right?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded: "Yes, Miss Chen Qingying, two years ago, you didn't say goodbye, and you even quit your job, but it really makes me easy to find!" ”

"You didn't find me after all." Chen Qingying had a trace of guilt in her eyes, and gently stirred the cat's eye coffee with a spoon, this kind of coffee Chen Qingying had drunk before, and the first time she drank it, her over-the-horizon ability was well improved, and when she drank it later, the effect was very average.

Zhang Yi looked at Chen Qingying's slender jade hand carefully, and then said, "I found you by accident. Once, while attending a seminar, I met your mother's case and asked the attending doctor, and then I learned your new home address. ”

Chen Qingying nodded, she had resumed contact with Zhang Yi half a year ago, although she and Zhang Yi had not spoken much in the past six months, but there was some information, and they still knew each other.

Now that the chatterbox has been opened, Zhang Yi has more words.

"At first, I didn't understand why you left, but now that I think about it, your sudden disappearance must have something to do with your mother's illness, right? You need money and a lot of medical information, so you chose to enter Deadland in search of a chance to change the situation, right? ”

Chen Qingying's shoulders trembled slightly: "You really know me very well." ”

Zhang Yi felt a little emotional: "This road is not easy to walk." ”

Chen Qingying nodded.

At this time, Zhang Yi was a little excited: "Actually, you should have asked me for help to tide over the difficulties together." ”

Chen Qingying's eyes suddenly reddened, she smiled silently, shook her head, and said after a while: "I didn't want to drag you down at that time, and besides, this is originally a dangerous road, every trial, who can guarantee that he will definitely come back alive?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi finally didn't say anything more.

The maid girl came to serve Zhang Yi and the others again, and seeing that the "uncle" and the beautiful sister in front of her did not speak, Miss Cheng Cheng was careful not to say much.

Cheng Cheng is about seventeen or eighteen years old this year, and in front of her, twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old Zhang Yi is the uncle!

When the drink with a faint smell of blood was delivered to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi took a sip casually, and then said, "Since I'm here now, then if we have a chance, let's try it together, right?" ”

This is an invitation, Chen Qingying raised her head, didn't think about it, and agreed directly, and then said: "In Dead Paradise players can conduct up to seven trials a week, and now you should have just completed the newcomer tutorial, if you are not tired, I can take you to the next few copies, and I can pass on some experience to you in the trial!" ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he was a little excited.

The excitement was not that Qingying wanted to take her to the game, but because Zhang Yi thought that he would be able to get along with Chen Qingying for a long time in the future.

Then, Zhang Yi said: "When you left, we didn't break up, right?" ”

Chen Qingying's eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something, and nodded seriously.

Zhang Yi looked at Chen Qingying carefully, and then said, "If that's the case, then we're still a couple now?" ”

"Couples?" Chen Qingying was slightly stunned, fell silent, and replied: "Let's talk about it." ”

Zhang Yiyiqi: "How is it, do you have a boyfriend, or are you married?" ”

Chen Qingying shook her head: "That's not it. ”

After a while, Chen Qingying said again: "It's just that I feel a little sorry for you, and besides, I feel weird in my heart." ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "I understand."

Then he changed the topic and said: "Don't say it, the things here are quite delicious, the bread of this Halloween bloody set smells bloody, but it tastes delicious." ”

Chen Qingying smiled slightly, revealing a good-looking smile.

Then Zhang Yi said: "How about it, did I tell you just now that my novice evaluation grade is A?" ”

Chen Qingying was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Did you participate in the trial of "Silent Hills"?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded.

Chen Qingying said again: "Then have you cracked the key to the game?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Yi said, "The story of "Silent Hills" takes place in England in 1973, there is a baron in his 60s in the manor, he has vampire blood on his body, and later at the end of the trial, the baron was poisoned by poison gas, and as a result, he came back to life, became a descendant of Cain, and became a descendant of the first vampires!" This is the key to the game of Silent Hills. ”

Chen Qingying looked at Zhang Yi seriously, and then said: "Not long ago, the system was updated, and I found that someone had cracked the key to the game of "Silent Hills", but I didn't expect it to be you!" ”

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, and then said, "I'm actually a little surprised by this. ”

Then Zhang Yi said: "Regarding the cracking of "Silent Hills", in fact, I still can't figure it out. ”

Chen Qingying saw the doubts in Zhang Yi's eyes, and then said: "In the death forum, there are many newcomers who have released the trial experience of "Silent Hills", why don't you take a look at it first, maybe after reading it, you will know the answer." ”

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up, and then he asked Qingying how to log in to the death forum and how to check it, and after a while, some key posts appeared in front of Zhang Yi.

In the café, Zhang Yi looked down one by one, and on the other side, Chen Qingying sat quietly, as before, without disturbing at all.

Flipping through the post, Zhang Yi saw the experiences of different newcomers in "Silent Hill".

In these posts, there are people who have not been confronted with the "living dead" in the form of Detective Cole in the first place, and there are people who have ignored the key information in their notebooks after obtaining their backpacks.

Some were pursued by the ugly butler as soon as they entered the manor, while others went to great lengths to capture the personal doctor and did not ask him more questions about the "purple blood vine".

Someone eventually killed Baron Charles, also receiving an A rating.

Someone took out the purple blood vine from "Silent Hills" and sold it in Death City, and now the market price of "blood vine" in Death Paradise is 1 gram and 100 gold coins, which is highly sought after by players in the blood system, and has no price.

Zhang Yi looked carefully one by one, but did not find the key to breaking the game.

But in the process of combing through the information, Zhang Yi also found that he was different from other players.

First of all, he once saved Baron Charles.

Secondly, he used "Manor Elixir" and "Detective Serum" at the same time for a lot of time to treat Baron Charles, who had a bloodborne illness.

Thirdly, after injecting himself twice, Baron Charles was killed by poison gas outside the door.

And it was this kill that Baron Charles relied on two potions to activate the Cain bloodline, so that he was born to die and became a real vampire.

This is a very complicated step, and unless you really crack the key to the game, you can usually only rely on luck to do all three of the above steps.

When the average player first sees Baron Charles, either the baron has regained his mobility and is difficult to kill for a while, or he directly kills the Baron when he has the ability, and he doesn't even think about saving him.

Zhang Yi, out of the instinct of a doctor, saved Baron Charles twice in a limited time to renew his life.

It is also because of these coincidences that the plot is pushed step by step.

In the end, when Zhang Yi was filled with poison gas outside the door, he successfully cracked the key to the plot, completed the trial, and escaped the deadly poison gas crisis.

Regarding the vampire blood of Baron Charles, in fact, Deathland has been constantly reminding players from the beginning of the game that the key is what.

As long as players are like Detective Cole, they can explore the history of the entire manor to the limit, and crack the key mysteries in the notes of Detective Cole and Baron Charles, then it is not impossible to crack the game's secrets and stimulate the vampire blood at critical moments.

In this trial, Zhang Yi accidentally cracked the key to the game, although it is full of countless coincidences, but if you think about it carefully, the reason why Zhang Yi was able to go to the final key step by step is actually inseparable from his decision in the past 10 hours.

At the beginning, if he hadn't decided to sleep in the living room, he could wake up early at the critical moment, and leave the old bungalow with an umbrella and Alice, and it wouldn't be long before he would have died under the knife of the ugly butler.

In addition, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yi hit the aristocratic doctor with a gun in the potato orchard, delaying the time for the aristocratic doctor and the ugly butler to continue the pursuit, when Zhang Yi and the others were doing surgery in the bungalow of the warehouse, they would have been set on fire by the doctors and housekeepers, and they would have lost their lives long before the dawn of the operation!

Deciphering the game requires clear logical analysis, but sometimes it also requires players to be able to make key decisions in the face of setbacks, which is the key truth of the game.
