CHAPTER XXI
"Remember where you started?"
Sunny asked suddenly. made Cheng Jiyun unable to keep up with her rhythm all of a sudden.
"The starting point?" Cheng Jiyun frowned, remembering the hospital where he woke up, "Hospital? Hospitals in Source City? ”
"Yes." Sunny didn't have the usual smile on his face, and just asked him seriously, "Remember how you got there?" ”
"Enter...... There? Cheng Jiyun really didn't have an impression, he only remembered that he fought with someone in prison, and he was stunned with a punch, and who knows what happened next. He always thought that he had been beaten and sent to the hospital.
"I don't remember, it's the closest hospital to the fourth prison, so I was sent there." Cheng Jiyun is just guessing.
"Then did you know about the place of Source City before?"
"How would I know!" Cheng Jiyun smiled, "I've never heard of it!" ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that these questions were a little delicate. So, he asked Sunny, "What are you telling me all this for?" Does it have anything to do with this? ”
"Then do you know why it's called Source City, but it's the most destructive place?" She continued, ignoring Cheng Jiyun's question.
"How do I know?!" Cheng Jiyun almost got impatient, "Can you tell me the point?" ”
"Because that's where the plan started, and it's not exactly set up."
"What the hell?"
"The people who come here, they are constantly upgrading and exercising, in order to enter the next world, the existence of one world more perfect than the other......"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Cheng Jiyun was even more puzzled.
"Cheng Jiyun!" Sunny's expression was serious, and her sharp eyes were not at all like she used to be, "Where do you want to stay?" ”
"What?" Cheng Jiyun felt the weirdness of the atmosphere, and he was so depressed that he wanted to escape, "Where am I going?" Where can I go? ”
Sunny gently grabbed him, "Are you willing to accept a new identity?" ”
"A new identity?"
"You're going to wake up here and accept another identity......"
"What the hell?" Cheng Jiyun only felt that the white color here frightened him, and he almost ran away, but ...... Sunny in front of him, so strange, and strange words...... "Little girl, are you out of your head?" ”
However, Sunny didn't answer and walked straight inside the building, seemingly familiar with everything here.
"Hey! Little girl, where are you going? Although Cheng Jiyun wanted to leave, he couldn't just leave this little girl alone, so he could only follow her and continue to walk.
But Sunny quickly stopped in front of a white table, took out a mobile phone from it, and started operating it.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Jiyun realized something, walked quickly in front of her, took the mobile phone in her hand, and unexpectedly watched the mobile phone screen light up.
"You know there's a phone here? Did you know that this phone can be used? Cheng Jiyun looked at her in surprise, but Sunny just looked at him and didn't say a word. He took the phone and looked at the phone screen carefully, and there was indeed a stepped signal on the top.
"Here...... There's a signal here?! Cheng Jiyun panicked for a moment, holding his mobile phone at a loss.
At this time, he repeated a familiar number countless times in his mind, over and over again, a phone number that he would never allow himself to forget, and his whole hand trembled when he pressed the number...... With a completely uncertain mind, I pressed the dial button and waited to see if it would be connected.
Until he heard the familiar "beep" sound, his heartbeat was even more intense than just now......
The phone rang for a long time, waiting for him to be anxious, until the phone was finally picked up, and a voice came from the other end: "Hey? ”
"Shi Wei?" Cheng Jiyun couldn't believe that she could still find her voice!
"Shi Wei! Where are you? ”
"......" There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before he replied to him slowly, "Cheng Jiyun? ”
"It's me! Feed? Feed? The phone was suddenly disconnected, Cheng Jiyun confirmed it several times, and frantically pressed the mobile phone screen, but the signal of the mobile phone was indeed cut off again......
"What's going on?" Cheng Jiyun asked Sunny with his phone, and because he was too anxious, he almost reproached him: "What's the matter?" Is it the signal you cut off? ”
"Why do you suspect it's me?" Sunny looked at him.
"And why is that?" He asked, "Why...... Why is there a mobile phone, and why is there a signal all of a sudden? Why? ”
In a fit of rage, he slammed his phone to the ground, and the phone instantly fell apart, just like his mood at the moment.
Cheng Jiyun didn't understand at all at this moment, how could he suddenly be angry, he only felt that he had gotten a piece of candy, and he had just tasted a hint of it, but found out that it was fake......
He looked at Sunny and grabbed her shoulder, "Why did you bring me here?" ”
"Do you want to go back?" Sunny looked at him, his eyes not afraid of him at all, but showed a hint of tenderness.
"What?" Cheng Jiyun's hand was even harder, "Can you stop selling Guanzi?" ”
"Cheng Jiyun, you still want to see Shi Wei, do you?" She asked.
"......" Cheng Jiyun was stunned for a moment and let go of her hand, "Do you know where she is?" ”
"I don't know." Sunny replied, "But, you can find it yourself." ”
Cheng Jiyun looked at her suspiciously, but she suddenly blindfolded her eyes with her hands, and in the darkness, she suddenly became dizzy, feeling that she was falling into a deep, deep whirlpool......
This feeling is not unfamiliar, as if when you lose consciousness, you will have this feeling. It's just that he felt every pore of his body slowly stretching out, driving his breathing, one after another, from slow to even...... It wasn't until he got used to normal breathing that he realized that it was time to open his eyes.
In the hazy eyes, the outside world was snow-white.
There was some ticking sound in my ears, like the sound of some kind of machine.
Cheng Jiyun tried to keep his eyes open, but he felt the stiffness of his whole body and the weakness of his limbs. His head could not move, only his eyes could be turned, from the ceiling to the wall, to the ......
How can there be a woman's figure?
What is a woman with her back to him doing? It seems to be packing things. Then, when she turned around, Cheng Jiyun noticed that her face was delicate and upright, with a comfortable smile, and white tight clothes that fit her perfect figure.
"Mr. Cheng, you're awake." She smiled and walked to Cheng Jiyun's side.
"......" Cheng Jiyun was about to say something, but he felt that his throat was extremely dry and itchy, and he couldn't make a sound.
"It's okay, you've just woken up, it's normal to feel like this." She said softly, then picked up a glass of water from the table beside her, which was clearer than he had seen in a long time. She put a white straw into the cup, handed it to Cheng Jiyun's mouth, and gently put it into his mouth.
"Mr. Cheng, take a sip and moisten your throat."
Cheng Jiyun felt the habit stuffed into his mouth, he pursed his lips, tried to suck hard, a stream of sweetness flowed into his mouth, and instantly opened all his taste buds, such delicious water, is it because he hasn't drunk it for too long? He couldn't help but swallow them all with a coo.
"Slow down, Mr. Cheng." The lady in front of him gently reminded him, and the smile on his face made him suck even more presumptuously, as if opening countless doors in his body, and his desire was about to pour out.
Soon, the glass of water was gone, and he couldn't get enough of it.
"Mr. Cheng, your body can't eat and drink so fast for the time being, so please don't be impatient." With that, the lady took the cup away.
After Cheng Jiyun drank this glass of water, he felt that his body was slowly recovering a lot, he pulled his fingers, and then tried to make a sound, asking, "Is this ...... Where is it? ”
The lady smiled and replied, "Choose Technology." ”
Although Cheng Jiyun was a little slow to react, he knew what kind of company it was. So, he deliberately remained silent as if he didn't know, and then continued to ask, "Why am I here?" ”
"Mr. Cheng, congratulations on passing our game test." She came to Cheng Jiyun's side, squatted beside him, and said.
What the heck?
Cheng Jiyun frowned, feeling that he could slowly control his body. He turned his head sideways and looked at her, "What test?" ”
"It's a comprehensive test." She replied slowly, "All the personnel in Prison No. 4 participated in this assessment, and only those who passed the score were allowed to stay in the city. ”
...... of all four prisons Cheng Jiyun's mind suddenly churned with a lot of memories of the four prisons, remembering all kinds of people he had seen inside, and in that crowd, there was an inconspicuous person who always sat on the side of the wire fence...... Small eyes......
No wonder I thought he was very familiar before, it was Li Xin?
Will you meet him because he is also doing this so-called test?
"Wait, you said that only those with good scores can stay in the city?"
"Yes." She nodded, "If there are no qualified people, they will participate in the construction of resources outside the city." ”
Cheng Jiyun felt tightness in his chest, what kind of regulation is this? After they were exempted from the death penalty, another way of sentencing?
"So, what the hell is this game?"
"Huh." She chuckled, "This is a trade secret, and it is inconvenient for us to disclose it specifically, but we can only congratulate you on passing the test and gaining freedom." ”
"Freedom?"
"Yes, Mr. Cheng, your life of imprisonment is over, and you have gained a new identity to stay and live here."
"Here?" Cheng Jiyun was still in a trance, not understanding whether he was in a dream or reality, "Where is this?" ”
The lady opposite smiled and gently pushed up the recliner that Cheng Jiyun was sitting on, the chair that seemed to be very bulky was actually very light, and it was not effortless to see her pushing.
The lady pushed him to the window, and she pressed a button, and the originally white window seemed to open a hundred shutters inside, then tightened to a thin line and disappeared into view. In an instant, after a lush greenery, a gorgeous street scene appeared in front of Cheng Jiyun, where there were many high-rise buildings and was extremely prosperous.
Cheng Jiyun looked at the tall buildings in front of him, this modern everything made him unacceptable for a while, he asked with wide eyes: "Isn't this world destroyed?" Or am I upgrading to the advanced world? ”
"Huh." The lady laughed, "Mr. Cheng, you just came out of the virtual world, and you are prone to cranky thoughts. But this is the real world we live in, very real. ”
"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun still couldn't believe it, he just wanted to stand up and touch it with his own hands. He felt the movement of his feet, touching the smoothness of the ground, and he only took a step to the window, and touched the delicacy of the glass, and then the warmth of the back was illuminated by the sun.
"This ...... Is it the real world? ”
"Yes, Mr. Cheng." The lady said with a smile. Cheng Jiyun looked at the blue sky, the lush woods under the golden sunlight, and the meticulously built lawn under the building...... The vehicles parked on the ground were the size of ants, neat and orderly. His body shook for a moment, and the lady immediately stepped forward, took his arms, and helped him to sit down.
Cheng Jiyun could feel that his feet were a little soft, I don't know if it was because he hadn't touched the ground for too long, or because he was suddenly on such a high floor.
In short, the mood at the moment is exciting.
"Mr. Cheng, take a break."
"Wait." Cheng Jiyun saw that she was about to leave, so he hurriedly stopped her, "That'...... Who is that guy named Sunny? ”
She smiled and replied, "She's one of our testers." ”
"Oh......" Cheng Jiyun was relieved to hear that Sunny was not a virtual character he had met, but the question came again: "What?" She's your tester? ”
"That's right." She replied, "She gave you a score and a rating for you." ”
"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun felt that she was a little unacceptable, this little girl had been around him for so long pretending to be crazy and stupid, just to test herself?
So, what about Lin Yan?
"So, then there is another one named Lin Yan, who is also from your company?" Cheng Jiyun asked.
"Lin Yan?" The lady repeated the name, as if searching her brain for information about the person. "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, Lin Yan is just a virtual character set in the game."
Avatars? Cheng Jiyun thought to herself, don't fool me.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Mr. Cheng." She still replied affirmatively, "At this stage, your body needs a little rest, so it is recommended that you take a good rest and stop thinking nonsense." ”
With that, she left the room and closed the door.
Cheng Jiyun stayed alone in this all-white room, feeling the fear of leaving the apocalypse, but fell into another layer of deeper confusion.
Lin Yan is a man with a clear goal, and the two of them are also friends along the way, but they are actually a virtual character?
Don't fool Lao Tzu.
Cheng Jiyun muttered in his heart.
But, now, what should he do? Really have a good rest here? What's next? What's next?
Why do you get a headache when you think about it?
What about Sunny? If she really is someone from the company, then she must be here, either find her, ask clearly, everything! Don't lie to me all the time!
