Chapter 245: Valentine's Day
Close the doors and windows, and confirm that there is only himself in the room, Cheng Lin went to take a hot shower first, and then dressed neatly, came to the window, and took out his mobile phone.
Open the hidden desktop, and the icon of the deduction program will pop into view.
After taking a deep breath, he clicked on the icon.
It is still the familiar opening delay, cutscenes, dynamic universe and starry sky, and deep dry wells or deep pools that seem to be bottomless, because of the experience last time, Cheng Lin carefully stared at the starry background for a while this time.
"It's really different."
He noticed that the starry background was different from the last time.
"Could it be that every deduction is different? Does this starry sky refer to the space where the deduction takes place? The world represented? Time? Or something else? β
Cheng Lin thought for a moment, but had no clue, so he simply gave up.
[At every moment, there are a million possibilities for the direction of civilization]
Glancing at this line of small print, he habitually moved his gaze to the "History Library" and began to review it.
Doomsday (Heavenly Fire), Reincarnation (Suiren), Wasteland (Siege), Mythology (Sage), Xiuzhen (Traceless Immortal Island), ......
At present, there are a total of five deductions, quietly existing on the screen in the form of gray cards, Cheng Lin looked at it, and suddenly sighed with emotion, he did not have the habit of keeping a diary, but at this moment, seeing these cards, it was as if he was reading his diary for the past two months, and every time his eyes fell on a chapter, relevant memories emerged in his mind.
"The world has been destroyed five times in my hands, and I am really ashamed to say it......"
Cheng Lin was silent for a few seconds, and then his heart was a little excited.
After more than a week of rest, he has adjusted his condition, and at the moment, he feels that he is in good shape.
"On."
Without hesitation, he clicked on the deduction button.
And then......
The familiar vibration, the white light that fills the field of vision, the whole person is drifting in the sea of light, like a lonely boat in the sea, not knowing where to go.
[Begin to deduce the direction of civilization in this world......]
γDeduction ......γ
[Chapter: Frozen Ground (Cave)]
[The chapter will open in 10 seconds...... 10γ9γ8β¦β¦γ
β¦β¦
Everything stops.
Cheng Lin opened his eyes and felt the silence unique to the deduction.
His whole person has also entered a state of concentration and calmness, and every deduction is like opening a new game for him, and in the game, Cheng Lin often naturally enters a god-like spectator perspective, separating himself from the world of deduction.
This can help him to be calmer in the face of any changes.
[After many days, you have started a new deduction again]
[You notice that the window is getting a little blurry, it's a short time passing]
Cheng Lin calmly looked at the window and found that it seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the scenery outside had become hazy.
Soon, the mist also dissipated, and Cheng Lin walked over silently, lying in front of the window and looking out.
Then he raised his eyebrows in some surprise.
"It's ...... Where? β
[You lie in front of the window and look at the city outside, it is a bustling modern city, buildings, high-rise buildings, streets, vehicles...... There is everything, but this city is very different from the style you are familiar with, it seems to be abroad, but where it is, you can't guess for a while]
Window.
The sky was slightly overcast, it was supposed to be daytime, and the time was around winter.
Cheng Lin is facing a wide street, the street is flanked by white buildings, probably snowed not long ago, the red and blue roofs of those buildings are covered with snow white, there is frost on the balcony that has not been wiped clean, the main road has been swept, like a black ribbon, the billboard on the street is printed with Cheng Lin's very unfamiliar text symbols, but it looks a little familiar, and there are some white men and women wearing various winter clothes walking on the street.
"Abroad? Europe? Or the Federation? β
Cheng Lin pondered in his heart, but seeing that the billboard was not in English, he could probably exclude the Federation and England.
More likely to be a European country.
[You have a little guess in your mind, the unfamiliar city makes you a little uncomfortable, you stare at the words in confusion, and after a moment, you realize that it is French]
The information in my head is always so sweet.
Cheng Lin leaned lightly on the windowsill, and his eyes showed a little understanding.
French.
I really came to Europe, but I don't know how long time has passed.
This is the first time he has gone abroad, no passport, no visa, nothing, just quietly appeared in the corner of a city in France.
"It's a lot more comfortable than joining a tour."
Cheng Lin thought leisurely, he was not in a hurry with many deduction experiences.
"Do I need to go out now?" He asked.
There was no response in the mind.
Cheng Lin thought about it and was about to go out to have a look, but he suddenly realized that he was still wearing a summer coat, and when he came out to travel, there were no winter clothes in either the room or the initial space, which was a bit troublesome.
As a second-grade peak cultivator, he can naturally withstand the winter, but it is too strange to go out like this.
"It's weird, it's weird, no one knows me here anyway, so let's go out and find a dress first."
With a decision in his heart, Cheng Lin unscrewed the doorknob, pushed the door out, and in an instant, the cold winter air outside the window was wrapped in exotic customs, accompanied by countless fine, mixed sounds.
Stepping from a silent safe house into the world is like returning from outside the world, the sound of car horns, people's conversations, busy buildings nearby, and the fragmentary sounds of objects colliding all converge into a wave of sound, drowning Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin squinted his eyes with some enjoyment, this is an experience that no matter how real a game is, it is full of senses, as if he is in the real world, or rather, this is the real world.
"Jingle Bell~"
A string of pleasant wind chimes sounded in his ears, Cheng Lin turned his head to look, and found that there was a string of colorful and delicate wind chimes hanging above his head outside the door.
He looked at the door he had pushed open, and noticed that the door's appearance had changed.
He let go of his hand and turned around, only to find that there was not a safe house behind him, but a gift shop.
Transparent half-floor-to-ceiling glass windows clearly reveal the interior scenes, and the glass, softly lit cabinets are quietly placed in exquisite gift boxes.
At the counter, a girl in what appears to be a waitress in a cute woolen hat is smiling and expertly bandaging a box of gifts, then handing it to the male customer in front of her.
Gift shop? How did a safe house become a gift shop?
Cheng Lin was a little surprised, he tentatively took a few steps forward, and saw the image of the translucent safe house detached from the gift shop building.
"Well, I see...... The safe house and gift shop overlapped. β
Cheng Lin suddenly felt that the two spaces were stacked on top of each other, and the doors were also stacked together, so that the impression created by others was that he was a customer who pushed the door out of the gift shop.
"The program is really sweet." Cheng Lin smiled.
At this time, people walking near the street had already paid attention to him, a strange oriental boy standing outside the store in winter, but wearing a summer dress.
"They're probably guessing if I'm a psychopath or not."
Cheng Lin was a little helpless, thinking about where to find a set of winter clothes to wear, and at this time, a pleasant wind chime sounded behind him again.
"Hello, could you please give way?"
A man's voice rang out.
He spoke obviously French, but it was automatically translated into Chinese by the program, and there was even a little local accent, which made Cheng Lin quite interesting to hear.
Turning around, Cheng Lin saw the other party clearly, it was a white man with a figure similar to himself, maybe older than himself, wearing a set of black, well-cut thickened windbreaker, dressed very exquisitely, like a young gentleman in a movie.
There was also a beautifully packaged gift box in his hand, which was the customer who had just shopped in the store.
The white man looked at the Oriental man in front of him with a strange look, and Cheng Lin also looked at the other party's clothes with interest.
"It should be about the same size." Cheng Lin muttered.
"What did you say?" The white man was stunned for a moment.
"Nothing, sorry."
Cheng Lin smiled and made way for the other party, then suddenly remembered something, patted the other party's shoulder, and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask which city is this?" What date is it now? β
The white man tried to break free, but he was surprised to find that the hand on his shoulder was so powerful.
He could only turn around, thinking that he was really unlucky, and that he had met with a mental illness......
After thinking about it, he spread his hands and said in a helpless tone: "Of course this is Paris, you ask the time?" Oh, don't you see the gift in my hand? Today is February 14th, Valentine's Day! β
Cheng Lin was stunned.
Paris, France?
Today is ...... Valentine's Day?
β¦β¦
PS: Happy holidays (if you have a holiday)......
