Chapter III: Entrustment
Mu Zhirong smiled at Fang Xu before turning around and walking into the door in front of her.
An eerie black-brown rusty ladder connects the world beyond the gate. The top of the ladder disappeared into the dark red clouds, and below the ladder was a one-meter-square bearing platform, which was about half a meter high, facing the side facing Fang Xu, engraved with a vigorous and ancient "platform".
Underneath the word "臺" is a dark tunnel. At the exit of the tunnel, the steps close to the ground are purple, and there are a lot of black-green fires on the ground, which is very similar to the ghost fire in the legend of the old people, which makes people panic.
No matter how much Fang Xu shouted, Mu Zhirong walked straight into the distance as if she hadn't heard it. Fang Xu looked his phone forward, but found that the light of the flashlight on the phone did not have the slightest effect on what he saw in front of him.
"Hallucinations..."
Fang Xu hurriedly took off his glasses, but it was dark in front of him, he wiped the lenses a few times, and when he put them on again, Mu Zhirong appeared in front of him again, and the scene that happened just now appeared again. Although he knew that this was an illusion, this was also the first time in seven days that Fang Xu had seen Mu Zhirong's figure, so at this time he was reluctant to break the illusion in front of him, he wanted to take a good look at his Zhirong.
Just as Fang Xu could see his mind, everything in the picture stopped, and a line of smoky and fire-burning oversized characters suddenly appeared on the screen: The spirit yuan is insufficient, please recharge!
There are also two selection buttons below these words, which flash "yes" and "no" respectively.
"What's the situation?"
Fang Xu took off his glasses again and found that several bright spots were flashing on the lenses.
"Are these still my glasses?"
Fang Xu put on his glasses and chose to recharge, and the key that popped up showed that he still had a hundred spirit yuan. After charging all these spirit elements, the picture in front of me moved again.
I saw Mu Zhirong walk to the entrance of the bearing platform and the tunnel and stop, after thinking for a while as if making a choice, he looked back at Fang Xu and smiled, and the picture stopped again.
"Lingyuan is insufficient, please recharge!"
Fang Xu was eager to know Mu Zhirong's final whereabouts, how could he have no spirit yuan to charge.
Looking at the dazzling 0 point Ling Yuan, Fang Xu's hand slapped towards its corresponding position, "Ling Yuan, what the hell is Ling Yuan?"
"Knock ......"
The elevator door snapped and crackled, and then the lights came on, the buttons on the first floor lit up, and the sound of the wheels turning hard at the top. The picture in Fang Xu's eyes also became blurry little by little, and the elevator door and the row of buttons slowly cleared.
"Why?" Fang Xu's hand stretched forward, wanting to grab Mu Zhirong, who was about to dissipate, "Why didn't you even hallucinate me see where you were going in the end?" ”
Just when the elevator was about to reach the first floor, a line of words appeared in front of Fang Xu's eyes again: Do you believe everything you just saw?
Two options also pop up under the words - "Yes" and "No".
Fang Xu took off his glasses in surprise, the light spots on them flickered, "Psychic possession, black technology descending?" His glasses-holding hands trembled involuntarily.
24 hours after Mu Zhirong went missing, Fang Xu successfully called the police. The most critical surveillance in the experimental building happened to be broken on the night when Mu Zhirong disappeared, but the police found from the school surveillance that she had never left the school gate since she got the supper that night, but they turned the school upside down, but they did not find the slightest trace. In the past seven days, Fang Xu has beaten most of the hotels and guesthouses in Jincheng, but there is still no clue.
At this time, the news obtained from the glasses, whether true or not, was stronger than Yu Wuwen, Fang Xu put on his glasses, "Yes!" ”
After Fang Xu made his choice, a text appeared in front of him:
"Dear Axu, I have to leave, because time is running out! Help me take care of grandpa and make our fluorescent rabbit, whether you are tired and want to continue sleeping, or you have other plans and hibernation, it will help you a lot! ”
"This text is very similar to Zhirong's tone, but why is the content so strange?"
At this time, the door of the elevator to the first floor had already been closed again, but Fang Xu was unaware of it. He had read this passage over and over again, and at the same time, in his mind, he and Mu Zhirong had met until now, and the things they had experienced together kept spinning.
I don't know how long it took, Fang Xu felt a burst of soreness in his temples before he stopped, "Zhirong, what's going on?" ”
Fang Xu said and pressed the back button, and then another string of words appeared:
Perhaps, she left for a longer reunion in the future. To put her at ease, boy, will you cheer up and fulfill her request? ”
"Yes!"
Fang Xu nodded heavily and made a choice.
Immediately after, a text popped up again in front of his eyes:
"My girlfriend's entrustment:
1. Take good care of grandpa, grandpa Mu Yuren is an old playboy, he has been dead for ten years, and he still comes to play with his granddaughter every day, and now that his granddaughter is gone, you will take over the matter of accompanying the elderly. The reward depends on the mood of his old man.
2. Breed a fluorescent rabbit within half a year, and if you succeed, you will be rewarded with 30 spirit yuan, and the silver glasses will disappear if you fail. ”
Fang Xu had noticed just now that after the one hundred spirit yuan was used, the scene in the illusion was exactly ten seconds longer, and although the spirit yuan obtained after the completion of task 2 could only increase the viewing time by three seconds, although it was short, this really made Fang Xu see a glimmer of light.
"The task rewards Lingyuan, great!"
Fang Xu excitedly clenched his hands into fists and shook them in front of his chest, "As long as there are enough spirit yuan, you can watch a longer video, and you will eventually see where Zhirong went." Zhirong, wait for me! ”
Ling Yuan, in Fang Xu's eyes at this time, had become the most important thing, and it was also something that he was eager to figure out at this time.
He exited the task panel, and found only a simple introduction to Lingyuan in the virtual screen: the resources they had looted out.
"It's better not to have this introduction."
There are two types of task release mechanisms:
One is the daily task, one per day, and the rewards are random.
The second is the trigger mechanism, and there are only one or two words in the introduction - look at the face. However, the reward proposition is very good, at least 10 points or more spirit yuan or equivalent other things.
Fang Xu clicked on today's task introduction:
"I don't talk about oral life for three days, and I don't practice hand life for three days. Virtuosity comes from rain or shine, so please complete your goal of 80 single knots per minute by twelve o'clock this morning. ”
Surgical sutures complete 80 single knots per minute, which is so far away for the students of the School of Biological Sciences, because the 60 passing standards set by the more professional school of medicine are still 60% of the students who do not meet them.
Eighty of them can be completed in one minute, which is far more than one-third of the standard number, which is a bit difficult, but this can be done with Fang Xu's eyes closed.
"There is still half an hour before twelve o'clock, there should still be people in the laboratory, and it shouldn't be a problem to borrow a few lines."
After Fang Xu completely exited the virtual screen, his glasses became normal, and he came to the fourth floor, borrowed a few threads from a junior, sat on a chair in the corridor, and took out his mobile phone to time and tie the knot.
Soon a minute passed, and Fang Xu was surprised, "It's only been seven days, and it's dropped so much!" ”
"Fang Xu?"
Fang Xu looked up and saw the person who came, quickly stood up, and said respectfully, "Professor Yin." ”
"It's really you!" Professor Yin came to Fang Xu's side, saw the knotted thread in his hand, and patted him on the shoulder with relief, "It's a good thing to cheer up, look at you like this now, I almost didn't recognize it!" ”
Professor Yin took the finished thread in Fang Xu's hand and counted it, "67, although it has dropped a lot, it is still at a good level." ”
"Professor, I'm ......"
"I've been observing your Xiaobai for the past few days, and the state is very good, and the three hairs on the tip of the right ear are also very special, maybe you should start from there, first the part and then the whole, and the progress may be faster."
Mu Zhirong likes white rabbits and fireflies. Rabbits can be kept as pets and can be seen every day, but fireflies only appear in summer, and in Jincheng, a city that can ignore the existence of summer, it is even more rare to see, so the two plan to make a fluorescent rabbit.
After two years of experiments, the fluorescent gene of the firefly has been successfully introduced into the DNA of rabbits, but it cannot be expressed, and luciferase cannot be synthesized, so it cannot emit light.
Professor Yin's words made Fang Xu suddenly understand, "You can't become a fat person by eating in one breath, your heart is too big." ”
Fang Xu bowed respectfully to Professor Yin and thanked him: "Thank you, Professor. ”
"You have the key." Professor Yin finished speaking and left.
Fang Xu took the key, he was so excited for a moment that he couldn't help but read out the word "Yuren".
Yuren Laboratory, founded by the former dean Mu Yuren, is the best laboratory in the whole school, and it is even well-known in China, how can this not make him excited.
"What qualifications does a person who can't even complete 70 knots have to enter the Yuren Laboratory."
The person who came was Yang Kai, with an indignant look, followed by a classmate from their experimental group, who was also his follower.
Maybe it's because of the rival in love, usually the two meet basically needle-to-point.
Yang Kai's attack on himself had already been reversed in the past, but now it was less than six minutes away from twelve o'clock, and the deadline for today's task was about to arrive, and he was still thirteen away from the goal of eighty knots, so Fang Xu chose to forbear, took out the thread and began to tie the knot, leaving Yang Kai and the others aside.
Yang Kai saw that Fang Xu ignored him, and walked quickly to Fang Xu, "Fang Xu, Zhirong is infatuated with you, but you killed her!" ”
Yang Kai suddenly grabbed Fang Xu's collar and punched him in the abdomen. Seeing this, none of the classmates came to stop them, and they all watched the show with their hands on their hands.
Fang Xu clutched his stomach, his face turned pale with pain, he held his breath for more than ten seconds, and after the pain subsided, he suddenly kicked Yang Kai away. Yang Kai was caught off guard, the back of his body hit the wall with a "ping", and then slid under the wall.
Fang Xu stood up, his eyes were full of anger, his left hand pinched his right hand hard, his knuckles suddenly beeped, he stepped in front of Yang Kai in one step, and grabbed the chest pocket on his burgundy shirt with his left, "Yang Kai, you can get rid of that night's incident!" ”
Yang Kai snorted briefly, "What does that matter between you and Yin Yue have anything to do with me!" ”
Fang Xu took out Mu Zhirong's mobile phone and clicked on a message in WeChat, "What is this?" ”
"That's right, I sent the message, and I took the picture!" Yang Kai was straightforward, "If you can hold on to it and not fall into her gentle trap, do I have this chance?"
"Yin Yue used to stun me, that mask should be your Yang Shao's special offer!"
Seeing the smug look on Yang Kai's face, Fang Xu put away his mobile phone, raised his right fist, and was about to swing it out, but was stopped by the classmates who caught up.
But they followed Yang Kai all day long to eat, drink and play east, and finally turned into a white chopped chicken that was more tender than small fresh meat, how could they be the opponent of Fang Xu, a master of the School Fighting Association. Fang Xu withdrew his elbow, and the person who grabbed his hand received a blow on the chin, and was repulsed.
"Fang Xu, he started beating people in the school, but he has to be demerited!"
"Yes, all three of us are witnesses!"
"If the circumstances are serious, you will be directly expelled!"
When Yang Kai made a move just now, these people were watching the play on the sidelines, and at this time, they stepped forward to persuade themselves, coupled with the meaning of their words, when it was really time to go to court, Fang Xu would definitely suffer.
If he is expelled from the school, Fang Xu, who has not graduated, will want to enter the biological laboratory with high Chinese, it is simply impossible, let alone have his own experimental project. In this way, the mission of the fluorescent rabbit will definitely fail, and when the silver glasses disappear, then Mu Zhirong's clues will all be broken.
"We can't afford to lose the platform of the school lab."
After thinking about this, Fang Xu calmed down, and suddenly thought that the time for the task was almost up, he let go of his left hand, "Get out of ......"
